[
" Joan Crawford Joan Crawford ( born Lucille Fay LeSueur ; March 23 , c. 1904 -- May 10 , 1977 ) was an American film and television actress who began her career as a dancer and stage showgirl . In 1999 , the American Film Institute ranked Crawford tenth on its list of the greatest female stars of Classic Hollywood Cinema . Beginning her career as a dancer in traveling theatrical companies , before debuting as a chorus girl on Broadway , Crawford signed a motion picture contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1925 . In the 1930s , Crawford 's fame rivaled , and later outlasted , MGM colleagues Norma Shearer and Greta Garbo . Crawford often played hard-working young women who find romance and success . These stories were well received by Depression-era audiences and were popular with women . Crawford became one of Hollywood 's most prominent movie stars and one of the highest-paid women in the United States , but her films began losing money and , by the end of the 1930s , she was labelled `` box office poison '' . But her career gradually improved in the early 1940s , and she made a major comeback in 1945 by starring in Mildred Pierce , for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress . She would go on to receive Best Actress nominations for Possessed ( 1947 ) and Sudden Fear ( 1952 ) . In 1955 , Crawford became involved with the Pepsi-Cola Company through her marriage to company Chairman Alfred Steele . After his death in 1959 , Crawford was elected to fill his vacancy on the board of directors but she was forcibly retired in 1973 . She continued acting in film and television regularly through the 1960s , when her performances became fewer ; after the release of the British horror film Trog in 1970 , Crawford retired from the screen . Following a public appearance in 1974 , after which unflattering photographs were published , Crawford withdrew from public life and became increasingly reclusive until her death in 1977 . Crawford married four times . Her first three marriages ended in divorce ; the last ended with the death of husband Alfred Steele . She adopted five children , one of whom was reclaimed by his birth mother . Crawford 's relationships with her two older children , Christina and Christopher , were acrimonious . Crawford disinherited the two , and , after Crawford 's death , Christina wrote a well-known `` tell-all '' memoir titled Mommie Dearest ( 1978 ) ."

" Cheryl Crawford Cheryl Crawford ( September 24 , 1902 -- October 7 , 1986 ) was an American theatre producer and director . Born in Akron , Ohio , Crawford majored in drama at Smith College . Following graduation , she moved to New York City and enrolled at the Theatre Guild 's school . By then she knew that she did n't want to pursue an acting career , but saw no other way to gain access to the organization producing the highest quality theatre of its time . Finishing their training in 1927 , she was hired by Theresa Helburn , the Guild 's Executive Director , as a casting secretary . She then worked her way through various backstage jobs , including assistant stage manager , to assistant to the `` Board of Managers , '' an importantant administrative job . While working at the Guild , she met Harold Clurman and Lee Strasberg who had also been working there as play reader and actor , respectively . She was impressed with these two young men and joined their animated discussions about the need for a radically new form of American theatre . In 1930 Crawford urged Clurman to start giving semi-public talks to groups of like-minded actors . After he followed her suggestion and the talks attracted more people than could fit in Clurman 's apartment , Crawford arranged for the use of a showroom at the Steinway Piano Company . In 1931 , Crawford , Clurman and Strasberg announced the formation of The Group Theatre and invited 28 young actors who had been attending Clurman 's talks to join them for a twelve-week-long summer of training and rehearsal at Brookfield Center , Connecticut . Crawford had a major role in selecting the early plays produced by The Group , beginning with their first one , The House of Connelly by North Carolina playwright Paul Green , whom she later introduced to composer Kurt Weill . She encouraged their subsequent collaboration , Weill 's first American project , the musical Johnny Johnson , which was the last production she worked on before resigning from The Group Theatre in 1937 to become an independent producer . Crawford was influential in the early careers of such actors as Helen Hayes , Bojangles Robinson , Mary Martin , Ethel Barrymore , Ingrid Bergman , Tallulah Bankhead , and Paul Robeson , among many others . In 1946 , she and Eva Le Gallienne founded the American Repertory Theatre . In 1947 , together with former Group Theatre members Elia Kazan and Robert Lewis , she founded The Actor 's Studio , which trained Marlon Brando , James Dean , Paul Newman , Marilyn Monroe , Al Pacino , Robert De Niro , Dustin Hoffman , Steve McQueen , Martin Landau , Shelley Winters , Jane Fonda , Ellen Burstyn , Harvey Keitel , Jack Nicholson , John Astin and many more . Former partner Strasberg joined them as artistic director in 1951 .",
" What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962 film) What Ever Happened to Baby Jane ? is a 1962 American psychological thriller-horror film produced and directed by Robert Aldrich , starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford , about an aging actress who holds her paraplegic sister captive in an old Hollywood mansion . The screenplay by Lukas Heller is based on the 1960 novel of the same name by Henry Farrell . Upon the film 's release , it was met with widespread critical and box office acclaim and was later nominated for five Academy Awards , winning one for Best Costume Design , Black and White . The intensely bitter Hollywood rivalry between the film 's two stars , Davis and Crawford , was heavily important to the film 's initial success . This in part led to the revitalization of the then-waning careers of the two stars . In the years after release , critics continued to acclaim the film for its psychologically driven black comedy , camp , and creation of the psycho-biddy subgenre . The film 's then unheard of and controversial plot meant that it originally received an X rating in the UK . Because of the appeal of the film 's stars , Dave Itzkoff in The New York Times has identified it as being a `` cult classic '' . In 2003 the character of Baby Jane Hudson was ranked No. 44 on the American Film Institute 's list of the 50 Best Villains of American Cinema ."

" Dissolve (filmmaking) In the post-production process of film editing and video editing , a dissolve is a gradual transition from one image to another . The terms fade-out ( also called fade to black ) and fade-in are used to describe a transition to and from a blank image . This is in contrast to a cut where there is no such transition . A dissolve overlaps two shots for the duration of the effect , usually at the end of one scene and the beginning of the next , but may be used in montage sequences also . Generally , but not always , the use of a dissolve is held to indicate that a period of time has passed between the two scenes .",

" Benzodiazepine Benzodiazepines ( BZD , BZs ) , sometimes called `` benzos '' , are a class of psychoactive drugs whose core chemical structure is the fusion of a benzene ring and a diazepine ring . The first such drug , chlordiazepoxide ( Librium ) , was discovered accidentally by Leo Sternbach in 1955 , and made available in 1960 by Hoffmann -- La Roche , which , since 1963 , has also marketed the benzodiazepine diazepam ( Valium ) . In 1977 benzodiazepines were globally the most prescribed medications . Benzodiazepines enhance the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid ( GABA ) at the GABAA receptor , resulting in sedative , hypnotic ( sleep-inducing ) , anxiolytic ( anti-anxiety ) , anticonvulsant , and muscle relaxant properties . High doses of many shorter-acting benzodiazepines may also cause anterograde amnesia and dissociation . These properties make benzodiazepines useful in treating anxiety , insomnia , agitation , seizures , muscle spasms , alcohol withdrawal and as a premedication for medical or dental procedures . Benzodiazepines are categorized as either short - , intermediate - , or long-acting . Short - and intermediate-acting benzodiazepines are preferred for the treatment of insomnia ; longer-acting benzodiazepines are recommended for the treatment of anxiety . Benzodiazepines are generally viewed as safe and effective for short-term use , although cognitive impairment and paradoxical effects such as aggression or behavioral disinhibition occasionally occur . A minority of people can have paradoxical reactions such as worsened agitation or panic . Long-term use is controversial because of concerns about adverse psychological and physical effects , decreasing effectiveness , and physical dependence and withdrawal . As a result of adverse effects associated with the long-term use of benzodiazepines , withdrawal from benzodiazepines , in general , leads to improved physical and mental health . The elderly are at an increased risk of suffering from both short - and long-term adverse effects , and as a result , all benzodiazepines are listed in the Beers List of inappropriate medications for older adults . There is controversy concerning the safety of benzodiazepines in pregnancy . While they are not major teratogens , uncertainty remains as to whether they cause cleft palate in a small number of babies and whether neurobehavioural effects occur as a result of prenatal exposure ; they are known to cause withdrawal symptoms in the newborn . Benzodiazepines can be taken in overdoses and can cause dangerous deep unconsciousness . However , they are less toxic than their predecessors , the barbiturates , and death rarely results when a benzodiazepine is the only drug taken . When combined with other central nervous system ( CNS ) depressants such as alcoholic drinks and opioids , the potential for toxicity and fatal overdose increases . Benzodiazepines are commonly misused and taken in combination with other drugs of abuse .",

" United States presidential election, 2016 The United States presidential election of 2016 was the 58th quadrennial American presidential election , held on Tuesday , November 8 , 2016 . The Republican ticket of businessman Donald Trump and Indiana Governor Mike Pence defeated the Democratic ticket of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. Senator from Virginia Tim Kaine . Trump took office as the 45th President , and Pence as the 48th Vice President , on January 20 , 2017 . Concurrent with the presidential election , Senate , House , and many gubernatorial and state and local elections were also held on November 8 . Voters selected members of the Electoral College in each state , in most cases by `` winner-takes-all '' plurality ; those state electors in turn voted for a new president and vice president on December 19 , 2016 . While Clinton received about million more votes nationwide , a margin of % , Trump won 30 states worth a total of 306 electors , or 57 % of the 538 available . He won the perennial swing states of Florida , North Carolina , Ohio , and Iowa , as well as Clinton 's `` blue wall '' states of Michigan , Pennsylvania and Wisconsin , which had been Democratic strongholds in presidential elections for decades . Leading up to the election , a Trump victory was considered unlikely by almost all media forecasts . In the Electoral College vote on December 19 , seven electors voted against their pledged candidates : two against Trump and five against Clinton . A further three electors attempted to vote against Clinton but were replaced or forced to vote again . Ultimately , Trump received 304 electoral votes and Clinton garnered 227 , while Colin Powell won three , and John Kasich , Ron Paul , Bernie Sanders , and Faith Spotted Eagle each received one . Trump is the fifth person in U.S. history to become president while losing the nationwide popular vote . He is the first president without any prior experience in public service or the military , as well as the wealthiest and the oldest at inauguration , while Clinton was the first woman to be the presidential nominee of a major party and the first woman to win the popular vote . This was the first time since the 1984 re-election of Ronald Reagan that Wisconsin voted for a Republican , and the first time since 1988 that the Republican nominee won the states of Pennsylvania and Michigan , as well as Maine 's second congressional district . It was also the first time since the 1828 election of Andrew Jackson that an electoral vote split occurred in Maine . On January 6 , 2017 , the United States government 's intelligence agencies concluded that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 United States elections . A joint U.S. intelligence review stated with high confidence that `` Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election . Russia 's goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process , denigrate Secretary Clinton , and harm her electability and potential presidency . '' Investigations about potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials were started by the FBI , the Senate Intelligence Committee and the House Intelligence Committee . Donald Trump has criticized these conclusions by citing a lack of evidence , calling it a `` hoax '' and `` fake news , '' stating in a tweet : `` The Russia-Trump collusion story is a total hoax , when will this taxpayer funded charade end ?

" Republican Party (United States) The Republican Party , commonly referred to as the GOP ( abbreviation for Grand Old Party ) , is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States , the other being its historic rival , the Democratic Party . The party is named after republicanism , the dominant value during the American Revolution . Founded by anti-slavery activists , modernists , ex-Whigs , and ex-Free Soilers in 1854 , the Republicans dominated politics nationally and in the majority of northern States for most of the period between 1860 and 1932 . There have been 19 Republican presidents , the most from any one party . The first was 16th president Abraham Lincoln , who served from 1861 to 1865 , when he was assassinated , and the most recent being 45th and current president Donald Trump , who took office on January 20 , 2017 . The Republican Party 's current ideology is American conservatism , which contrasts with the Democrats ' more progressive platform ( also called modern liberalism ) . Further , its platform involves support for free market capitalism , free enterprise , fiscal conservatism , a strong national defense , deregulation , and restrictions on labor unions . In addition to advocating for conservative economic policies , the Republican Party is socially conservative , and seeks to uphold traditional values based largely on Judeo-Christian ethics . The GOP was strongly committed to protectionism and tariffs from its founding until the 1930s , when it was based in the industrial Northeast and Midwest . Since 1952 there has been a reversal against protectionism and the party 's core support since the 1990s comes chiefly from the South , the Great Plains , the Mountain States and rural districts in the North . as well as from conservative Catholics , Mormons , and Evangelicals nationwide . As of 2017 , the Republican Party is documented as being at its strongest position politically since 1928 . In addition to holding the Presidency ( via Trump and Vice President Mike Pence ) , the Republicans control the 115th United States Congress , having majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate . The party also holds a majority of governorships ( 33/50 ) and state legislatures ( full control of 32/50 , split control of six others ) ."

Antarctica is north of the equator.

[
" Antarctic Circle The Antarctic Circle is the most southerly of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth . The region south of this circle is known as the Antarctic , and the zone immediately to the north is called the Southern Temperate Zone . South of the Antarctic Circle , the sun is above the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year ( and therefore visible at midnight ) and ( at least partially ) below the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year ( and therefore not fully visible at noon ) ; this is also true within the equivalent polar circle in the Northern Hemisphere , the Arctic Circle . The position of the Antarctic Circle is not fixed ; as of , it runs south of the Equator . Its latitude depends on the Earth 's axial tilt , which fluctuates within a margin of 2 ° over a 40,000-year period , due to tidal forces resulting from the orbit of the Moon . Consequently , the Antarctic Circle is currently drifting southwards at a speed of about 15 m per year .",
" Antarctica Antarctica ( UK English -LSB- ænˈtɑːktɪkə -RSB- or -LSB- ænˈtɑːtɪkə -RSB- , US English -LSB- æntˈɑːrktɪkə -RSB- ) is Earth 's southernmost continent . It contains the geographic South Pole and is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere , almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle , and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean . At 14000000 km2 , it is the fifth-largest continent . For comparison , Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia . About 98 % of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages 1.9 km in thickness , which extends to all but the northernmost reaches of the Antarctic Peninsula . Antarctica , on average , is the coldest , driest , and windiest continent , and has the highest average elevation of all the continents . Antarctica is a desert , with annual precipitation of only 200 mm ( 8 in ) along the coast and far less inland . The temperature in Antarctica has reached − 89.2 ° C ( − 128.6 ° F ) , though the average for the third quarter ( the coldest part of the year ) is − 63 ° C ( − 81 ° F ) . Anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 people reside throughout the year at the research stations scattered across the continent . Organisms native to Antarctica include many types of algae , bacteria , fungi , plants , protista , and certain animals , such as mites , nematodes , penguins , seals and tardigrades . Vegetation , where it occurs , is tundra . Although myths and speculation about a Terra Australis ( `` Southern Land '' ) date back to antiquity , Antarctica is noted as the last region on Earth in recorded history to be discovered and colonised by humans , being only first sighted in 1820 by the Russian expedition of Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev on Vostok and Mirny , who sighted the Fimbul ice shelf . The continent , however , remained largely neglected for the rest of the 19th century because of its hostile environment , lack of easily accessible resources , and isolation . In 1895 , the first confirmed landing was conducted by a team of Norwegians . Antarctica is a de facto condominium , governed by parties to the Antarctic Treaty System that have consulting status . Twelve countries signed the Antarctic Treaty in 1959 , and thirty-eight have signed it since then . The treaty prohibits military activities and mineral mining , prohibits nuclear explosions and nuclear waste disposal , supports scientific research , and protects the continent 's ecozone . Ongoing experiments are conducted by more than 4,000 scientists from many nations ."

" Tropics The tropics are a region of the Earth surrounding the equator . They are delimited in latitude by the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere at N and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere at S ; these latitudes correspond to the axial tilt of the Earth . The tropics are also referred to as the tropical zone and the torrid zone ( see geographical zone ) . The tropics include all the areas on the Earth where the Sun is at a point directly overhead at least once during the solar year ( which is a subsolar point ) . The tropics are distinguished from the other climatic and biomatic regions of Earth , which are the middle latitudes and the polar regions on either side of the equatorial zone .",
" Glacier A glacier ( -LSB- pronˈɡleɪʃər -RSB- or -LSB- ˈɡlæsiə -RSB- ) is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight ; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation ( melting and sublimation ) over many years , often centuries . Glaciers slowly deform and flow due to stresses induced by their weight , creating crevasses , seracs , and other distinguishing features . They also abrade rock and debris from their substrate to create landforms such as cirques and moraines . Glaciers form only on land and are distinct from the much thinner sea ice and lake ice that form on the surface of bodies of water . On Earth , 99 % of glacial ice is contained within vast ice sheets in the polar regions , but glaciers may be found in mountain ranges on every continent except Australia , and on a few high-latitude oceanic islands . Between 35 ° N and 35 ° S , glaciers occur only in the Himalayas , Andes , Rocky Mountains , a few high mountains in East Africa , Mexico , New Guinea and on Zard Kuh in Iran . Glaciers cover about 10 percent of Earth 's land surface . Continental glaciers cover nearly 5 e6sqmi or about 98 percent of Antarctica 's 5.1 e6sqmi , with an average thickness of 7,000 ft. Greenland and Patagonia also have huge expanses of continental glaciers . Glacial ice is the largest reservoir of fresh water on Earth . Many glaciers from temperate , alpine and seasonal polar climates store water as ice during the colder seasons and release it later in the form of meltwater as warmer summer temperatures cause the glacier to melt , creating a water source that is especially important for plants , animals and human uses when other sources may be scant . Within high altitude and Antarctic environments , the seasonal temperature difference is often not sufficient to release meltwater . Because glacial mass is affected by long-term climatic changes , e.g. , precipitation , mean temperature , and cloud cover , glacial mass changes are considered among the most sensitive indicators of climate change and are a major source of variations in sea level . A large piece of compressed ice , or a glacier , appears blue as large quantities of water appear blue . This is because water molecules absorb other colors more efficiently than blue . The other reason for the blue color of glaciers is the lack of air bubbles . Air bubbles , which give a white color to ice , are squeezed out by pressure increasing the density of the created ice ."

" Internet area network An Internet area network ( IAN ) is a concept for a communications network that connects voice and data endpoints within a cloud environment over IP , replacing an existing local area network ( LAN ) , wide area network ( WAN ) or the public switched telephone network ( PSTN ) . Seen by proponents as the networking model of the future , an IAN securely connects endpoints through the public Internet , so that they can communicate and exchange information and data without being tied to a physical location . Unlike a LAN , which interconnects computers in a limited area such as a home , school , computer laboratory or office building , or a WAN , which is a network that covers a broad area , such as any telecommunications network that links across metropolitan , regional , or national boundaries , using private or public network transports , the IAN eliminates a geographic profile for the network entirely because the applications and communications services have become virtualized . Endpoints need only be connected over a broadband connection across the Internet . Hosted in the cloud by a managed services provider , an IAN platform offers users secure access to information from anywhere , at any time , via an Internet connection . Users also have access to telephony , voicemail , e-mail , and fax services from any connected endpoint . For businesses , the hosted model reduces IT and communications expenses , protects against loss of data and disaster downtime , while realizing a greater return on their invested resources through increased employee productivity and reduction in telecom costs .",
" Distributed networking Distributed networking is a distributed computing network system , said to be distributed when the computer programming and the data to be worked on are spread out across more than one computer . Usually , this is implemented over a computer network . Prior to the emergence of low-cost desktop computer power , computing was generally centralized to one computer . Although such centers still exist , distribution networking applications and data operate more efficiently over a mix of desktop workstations , local area network servers , regional servers , Web servers , and other servers . One popular trend is client/server computing . This is the principle that a client computer can provide certain capabilities for a user and request others from other computers that provide services for the clients . ( The Web 's Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an example of this idea . ) Enterprises that have grown in scale over the years and those that are continuing to grow are finding it extremely challenging to manage their distributed network in the traditional client/server computing model . The recent developments in the field of cloud computing has opened up new possibilities . Cloud-based networking vendors have started to sprout offering solutions for enterprise distributed networking needs . Whether it turns out to revolutionize the distributed networking space or turns out to be another craze remains to be seen ."

" Azerbaijan Azerbaijan ( -LSB- æzərbaɪˈʒɑːn -RSB- ; Azərbaycan ) , officially the Republic of Azerbaijan ( Azərbaycan Respublikası ) , is a country in the South Caucasus region , situated at the crossroads of Southwest Asia and Southeastern Europe . It is bound by the Caspian Sea to the east , Russia to the north , Georgia to the northwest , Armenia to the west and Iran to the south . The exclave of Nakhchivan is bound by Armenia to the north and east , Iran to the south and west , while having an 11 km border with Turkey in the north west . The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic proclaimed its independence in 1918 and became the first democratic state in the Muslim orient world . The country was incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1920 as the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic . The modern Republic of Azerbaijan proclaimed its independence on 30 August 1991 , prior to the official dissolution of the USSR in December 1991 . In September 1991 , the Armenian majority of the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region seceded to form the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic . The region and seven adjacent districts outside it became de facto independent with the end of the Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1994 . These regions are internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan pending a solution to the status of the Nagorno-Karabakh , found through negotiations facilitated by the OSCE . Azerbaijan is a unitary semi-presidential republic . The country is a member state of the Council of Europe , the OSCE and the NATO Partnership for Peace ( PfP ) program . It is one of six independent Turkic states , an active member of the Turkic Council and the TÜRKSOY community . Azerbaijan has diplomatic relations with 158 countries and holds membership in 38 international organizations . It is one of the founding members of GUAM , the Commonwealth of Independent States ( CIS ) and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons . A member of the United Nations since 1992 after its independence , Azerbaijan was elected to membership in the newly established Human Rights Council by the United Nations General Assembly on 9 May 2006 . Its term of office began on 19 June 2006 . Azerbaijan is also a member state of the Non-Aligned Movement , holds observer status in World Trade Organization and is a correspondent at the International Telecommunication Union . The Constitution of Azerbaijan does not declare an official religion and all major political forces in the country are secularist . However , the majority of the population are of a Shiite Muslim background . Most Azerbaijanis however , do not actively practice any religion , and the country has been seen to be one of the most irreligious countries in the Muslim world , with 53 % stating religion has little to no importance in their lives , according to Pew Research Center and Gallup polls . Azerbaijan has a high level of human development which ranks on par with most Eastern European countries . It has a high rate of economic development and literacy , as well as a low rate of unemployment . According to the Davos World Economic Forum , Azerbaijan 's economy has scored 37th place within 138 countries in 2016 . Global Competitiveness Index 2015 indicates that Azerbaijan scores highest in its region . ASAN services , established with Presidential Decree , are countrywide known for eliminating bribery and corruption in the provision of public services . ASAN Service has been awarded with United Nations ' Public Service Award 2015 , which is the most prestigious award in the world in the field of public service delivery . The ruling party , the New Azerbaijan Party , has been accused of authoritarianism and human rights abuses ."

" Member state A member state is a state that is a member of an international organization or of a federation or confederation . The World Trade Organization ( WTO ) and the International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) include some members that are not sovereign states ; thus , neither organization ever speaks of `` member states '' ; the WTO has simply `` members '' ( see WTO members ) , whereas the IMF calls its members `` member countries '' .",
" Azerbaijan (Iran) Azerbaijan or Azarbaijan ( آذربایجان Āzarbāijān -LSB- ɒːzærbɒjdʒɒːn -RSB- آذربایجان Azərbaycan -LSB- ɑzærbɑjdʒɑn -RSB- ) , also known as Iranian Azerbaijan , is a region in northwestern Iran that borders Iraq , Turkey , the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic , Armenia , and the Republic of Azerbaijan . Iranian Azerbaijan is administratively divided into West Azerbaijan , East Azerbaijan , Ardabil , and Zanjan provinces . The region is mostly populated by Azerbaijanis , with minority populations of Kurds , Armenians , Tats , Talysh , Assyrians and Persians . Iranian Azerbaijan is the land originally and historically called Azerbaijan ; the Azerbaijani-populated Republic of Azerbaijan appropriated the name of the neighbouring Azerbaijani-populated region in Iran during the 20th century . Historic Azerbaijan was called Atropatene in antiquity and Aturpatakan in the pre-Islamic Middle Ages . Some refer to Iranian Azerbaijan as South ( or Southern ) Azerbaijan and the Republic of Azerbaijan as Northern Azerbaijan , although others believe that these terms are irredentist and politically motivated . Prior to the Russo-Persian wars of the 19th century , the Azerbaijani people were distributed throughout the north-western Persian Empire , with the highest concentrations in Persian provinces that correspond to contemporary Iranian Azerbaijan and the Republic of Azerbaijan . Following military defeats at the hands of the Russian Empire , Qajar Persia ceded all of its territories in the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia to Russia via the Treaty of Gulistan of 1813 and the Treaty of Turkmenchay of 1828 . Since then the Azerbaijani people have been partitioned between nations . The territories south of the Aras River , which comprised the region historically known as Azerbaijan , became the new north-west frontier of the Persian Empire and later Iran . The territories north of the Aras River , which were not known by the name Azerbaijan at the time of their capture by Russia , were absorbed into the Russian Empire , renamed the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic during the country 's short-lived independence from 1918 to 1920 , incorporated into the Soviet Union as the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic , and finally became the independent Republic of Azerbaijan when the Soviet Union dissolved ."

In Lebanon, a monastic tradition was established.

" Lebanon Lebanon ( -LSB- ˈlɛbənɒn -RSB- لبنان ; Lebanese pronunciation : -LSB- lɪbˈnæːn -RSB- Liban ) , officially known as the Lebanese RepublicRepublic of Lebanon is the most common phrase used by Lebanese government agencies . The phrase Lebanese Republic is a literal translation of the official Arabic and French names that is not used in today 's world . Lebanese Arabic is the most common language spoken among the citizens of Lebanon . ( الجمهورية اللبنانية ; Lebanese pronunciation : -LSB- elˈʒʊmhuːɾɪjje l.ˈlɪbnæːnɪjje -RSB- République libanaise ) , is a sovereign state in Western Asia . It is bordered by Syria to the north and east and Israel to the south , while Cyprus is west across the Mediterranean Sea . Lebanon 's location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean Basin and the Arabian hinterland facilitated its rich history and shaped a cultural identity of religious and ethnic diversity . At just 10,452 km2 ( 4,036 sq. mi . ) , it is the smallest recognized country on the entire mainland Asian continent . The earliest evidence of civilization in Lebanon dates back more than seven thousand years , predating recorded history . Lebanon was the home of the Canaanites/Phoenicians and their kingdoms , a maritime culture that flourished for over a thousand years ( c. 1550 -- 539 BC ) . In 64 BC , the region came under the rule of the Roman Empire , and eventually became one of the Empire 's leading centers of Christianity . In the Mount Lebanon range a monastic tradition known as the Maronite Church was established . As the Arab Muslims conquered the region , the Maronites held onto their religion and identity . However , a new religious group , the Druze , established themselves in Mount Lebanon as well , generating a religious divide that has lasted for centuries . During the Crusades , the Maronites re-established contact with the Roman Catholic Church and asserted their communion with Rome . The ties they established with the Latins have influenced the region into the modern era . The region eventually was ruled by the Ottoman Empire from 1516 to 1918 . Following the collapse of the empire after World War I , the five provinces that constitute modern Lebanon came under the French Mandate of Lebanon . The French expanded the borders of the Mount Lebanon Governorate , which was mostly populated by Maronites and Druze , to include more Muslims . Lebanon gained independence in 1943 , establishing confessionalism , a unique , Consociationalism-type of political system with a power-sharing mechanism based on religious communities . Bechara El Khoury , President of Lebanon during the independence , Riad El-Solh , first Lebanese prime minister and Emir Majid Arslan II , first Lebanese minister of defence , are considered the founders of the modern Republic of Lebanon and are national heroes for having led the country 's independence . Foreign troops withdrew completely from Lebanon on 31 December 1946 . Lebanon has been a member of the Organisation internationale de la francophonie since 1973 . Despite its small size , the country has developed a well-known culture and has been highly influential in the Arab world . Before the Lebanese Civil War ( 1975 -- 1990 ) , the country experienced a period of relative calm and renowned prosperity , driven by tourism , agriculture , commerce , and banking . Because of its financial power and diversity in its heyday , Lebanon was referred to as the `` Switzerland of the East '' during the 1960s , and its capital , Beirut , attracted so many tourists that it was known as `` the Paris of the Middle East '' . At the end of the war , there were extensive efforts to revive the economy and rebuild national infrastructure . In spite of these troubles , Lebanon has the highest Human Development Index and GDP per capita in the Arab world , to the exclusion of the oil-rich economies of the Persian Gulf ."

" Women in Lebanon Lebanese women are considered to have more rights and freedom compared to other women in the Arab World . Women in Lebanon are able to dress more liberally and move around with relative ease in certain parts of the country , unlike other countries in the region . Lebanese women enjoy almost equal civil rights as men . However , due to the large number of officially recognized religions in Lebanon , Lebanese family matters are governed by at least 15 personal statute codes . Lebanese women have legal protection that varies depending on their religion . In Muslim families , marriageable age can be as soon as the child reaches puberty and polygamy is allowed . Muslim women can legally marry Christian or Jewish men ; for example a Lebanese Catholic man can marry a Muslim lady on the condition of getting their children baptised , otherwise , the couple may opt for civil marriage performed abroad , which can be registered at any Lebanese Embassy , thus giving it official recognition ( this is a particularly popular option , with Cyprus usually acting as the destination of choice ) . Children born to a Lebanese woman and a man from another country will not have their children granted Lebanese nationality . Local and regional NGOs have helped to increase awareness of violence against women in Lebanon . Government policies regarding this are poor however , and attempts to improve this area have been met with resistance . Lebanon 's laws do not recognize the concept of spousal rape , and attempt to add this to law have been attacked by Lebanese clerics . The family in Lebanon , as elsewhere in the Middle East region , assigns different roles to family members on the basis of gender . The superior status of men in society and within the narrow confines of the nuclear family transcends the barriers of sect or ethnicity . Lebanese family structure is patriarchal . The centrality of the father figure stems from the role of the family as an economic unit . This notion prevails in rural regions of Lebanon where women participate in peasant work . However , it is noticed that the percentage of women working in the labor force has increased . Since , 1970 , Arab societies have allowed women to play a more active role socially and in the work force , basically as a result of the manpower shortage caused by heavy migration of men to Persion Gulf countries . Notwithstanding the persistence of traditional attitudes regarding the role of women , Lebanese women enjoy equal civil rights and attend institutions of higher education in large numbers ( for example , women constituted 41 percent of the student body at the American University of Beirut in 1983 ) . Although women in Lebanon have their own organizations , most exist as subordinate branches of the political parties .",
" Monastery A monastery is a building or complex of buildings comprising the domestic quarters and workplaces of monastics , monks or nuns , whether living in communities or alone ( hermits ) . A monastery generally includes a place reserved for prayer which may be a chapel , church or temple , and may also serve as an oratory . Monasteries vary greatly in size , comprising a small dwelling accommodating only a hermit , or in the case of communities anything from a single building housing only one senior and two or three junior monks or nuns , to vast complexes and estates housing tens or hundreds . A monastery complex typically comprises a number of buildings which include a church , dormitory , cloister , refectory , library , balneary and infirmary . Depending on the location , the monastic order and the occupation of its inhabitants , the complex may also include a wide range of buildings that facilitate self-sufficiency and service to the community . These may include a hospice , a school and a range of agricultural and manufacturing buildings such as a barn , a forge or a brewery . In English usage , the term monastery is generally used to denote the buildings of a community of monks . In modern usage , convent tends to be applied only to institutions of female monastics ( nuns ) , particularly communities of teaching or nursing religious sisters . Historically , a convent denoted a house of friars ( reflecting the Latin ) , now more commonly called a friary . Various religions may apply these terms in more specific ways ."

Alfred Hitchcock framed shots to maximize at least three things in 2000.
|
[
" Alfred Hitchcock Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock ( 13 August 1899 -- 29 April 1980 ) was an English film director and producer , at times referred to as `` The Master of Suspense '' . He pioneered many elements of the suspense and psychological thriller genres . He had a successful career in British cinema with both silent films and early talkies and became renowned as England 's best director . Hitchcock moved to Hollywood in 1939 , and became a U.S. citizen in 1955 . Hitchcock became a highly visible public figure through interviews , movie trailers , cameo appearances in his own films , and the ten years in which he hosted the television programme Alfred Hitchcock Presents ( 1955 -- 1965 ) . He also fashioned for himself a recognisable directorial style . Hitchcock 's stylistic trademarks include the use of camera movement that mimics a person 's gaze , forcing viewers to engage in a form of voyeurism . In addition , he framed shots to maximise anxiety , fear , or empathy , and used innovative forms of film editing . His work often features fugitives on the run alongside `` icy blonde '' female characters . In 1978 , film critic John Russell Taylor described Hitchcock as `` the most universally recognizable person in the world '' , and `` a straightforward middle-class Englishman who just happened to be an artistic genius '' . Prior to 1980 , there had long been talk of Hitchcock being knighted for his contribution to film . Critic Roger Ebert wrote : `` Other British directors like Sir Carol Reed and Sir Charlie Chaplin were knighted years ago , while Hitchcock , universally considered by film students to be one of the greatest filmmakers of all time , was passed over '' . Hitchcock later received his knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in the 1980 New Year Honours . Hitchcock directed more than fifty feature films in a career spanning six decades and is often regarded as one of the most influential directors in cinematic history . Following a 2007 critics ' poll by Britain 's Daily Telegraph in which he was ranked Britain 's greatest filmmaker , one scholar wrote : `` Hitchcock did more than any director to shape modern cinema , which would be utterly different without him . His flair was for narrative , cruelly withholding crucial information ( from his characters and from the audience ) and engaging the emotions of the audience like no one else . '' Hitchcock 's first thriller , The Lodger : A Story of the London Fog ( 1926 ) , helped shape the thriller genre in film . His 1929 film , Blackmail , is often cited as the first British sound feature film , while Rear Window ( 1954 ) , Vertigo ( 1958 ) , North by Northwest ( 1959 ) , and Psycho ( 1960 ) are regularly ranked among the greatest films of all time ."

'' The award is presented at the annual AACTA Awards , which hand out accolades for achievements in feature film , television , documentaries and short films . From 1969 -- 2010 , the category was presented by the Australian Film Institute ( AFI ) , the Academy 's parent organisation , at the annual Australian Film Institute Awards ( known as the AFI Awards ) . When the AFI launched the Academy in 2011 , it changed the annual ceremony to the AACTA Awards , with the current award being a continuum of the AFI Award for Best Film . From 1969 -- 1975 , the award was presented as a gold , silver , bronze or grand prix prize , or in some years , a cash prize . The first winner , Jack and Jill : A Postscript , was nominated in the `` general '' category of the 1969 awards , and received a silver prize . Because non-feature films dominated the Australian film industry at that time , the film was submitted in the general category . Despite this , it is considered the first winner by the Academy . From the 1976 Australian Film Awards , the award became competitive , and has been given as such since then . To be eligible , the film must be Australian ; consist of a dramatised story of at least 70 minutes duration ; and be publicly exhibited in a commercial cinema for a minimum of seven consecutive days , in at least two capital cities ( one of which is Sydney or Melbourne ) . The producer of the film is considered the nominee , and is presented the award upon winning .",
" Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor The Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor is given by Filmfare as part of its annual Filmfare Awards for Hindi films . The award is given by the chosen jury of critics assigned to the function , and is a derivation from a previous award known as the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance , which was established in 1991 and was initially a special award given for a performance by either sex . In 1998 , it was officially divided into two separate categories to acknowledge both male and female actors individually . The actors are awarded without prior nomination for a performance . The record of the maximum number of wins in this category is with Amitabh Bachchan having won the award 3 times ( 2002 , 2006 & 2016 ) and Manoj Bajpayee ( 1999 , 2000 & 2017 ) , , followed by two actors ( in chronological order ) : Shahrukh Khan ( 1994 & 2001 ) and Ranbir Kapoor ( 2010 & 2012 ) . There has been only tie in the history between Shahid Kapoor and Manoj Bajpai for Udta Punjab and Aligarh respectively ( 2017 ) ."

Marlon Brando was not on a list in the 1950s.

[
" Marlon Brando Marlon Brando , Jr. ( April 3 , 1924 -- July 1 , 2004 ) was an American actor , film director and political activist . He is credited with bringing realism to film acting . He helped to popularize the Stanislavski system of acting , studying with Stella Adler in the 1940s . Brando is widely known for his Academy Award-winning performances as Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront ( 1954 ) and Vito Corleone in The Godfather ( 1972 ) , as well as his performances in A Streetcar Named Desire ( 1951 ) , Viva Zapata ! ( 1952 ) , Julius Caesar ( 1953 ) , The Wild One ( 1953 ) , Guys and Dolls ( 1955 ) , Sayonara ( 1957 ) , Reflections in a Golden Eye ( 1967 ) , Last Tango in Paris ( 1972 ) , and Apocalypse Now ( 1979 ) . Brando was also an activist for many causes , notably the Civil Rights Movement and various Native American movements . He initially gained acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for reprising the role of Stanley Kowalski in the 1951 film adaptation of Tennessee Williams ' play A Streetcar Named Desire , a role that he had originated successfully on Broadway . He received further praise for his performance as Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront , and his portrayal of the rebel motorcycle gang leader Johnny Strabler in The Wild One proved to be a lasting image in popular culture . Brando received Academy Award nominations for playing Emiliano Zapata in Viva Zapata ! ; Mark Antony in Joseph L. Mankiewicz 's 1953 film adaptation of Shakespeare 's Julius Caesar ; and Air Force Major Lloyd Gruver in Sayonara ( 1957 ) , an adaption of James Michener 's 1954 novel . Brando was included in a list of Top Ten Money Making Stars three times in the 1950s , coming in at number 10 in 1954 , number 6 in 1955 , and number 4 in 1958 . The 1960s proved to be a fallow decade for Brando . He directed and starred in the cult western film One-Eyed Jacks , a critical and commercial flop , after which he delivered a series of box-office failures , beginning with the 1962 film adaptation of the novel Mutiny on the Bounty . After 10 years , during which he did not appear in a successful film , he won his second Academy Award for playing Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola 's The Godfather , a role critics consider among his greatest . The Godfather was then one of the most commercially successful films of all time . With that and his Oscar-nominated performance in Last Tango in Paris , Brando re-established himself in the ranks of top box-office stars , placing sixth and tenth in the Money Making Stars poll in 1972 and 1973 , respectively . Brando took a four-year hiatus before appearing in The Missouri Breaks ( 1976 ) . After this , he was content with being a highly paid character actor in cameo roles , such as in Superman ( 1978 ) and The Formula ( 1980 ) , before taking a nine-year break from motion pictures . According to the Guinness Book of World Records , Brando was paid a record $ 3.7 million ( $ million in inflation-adjusted dollars ) and 11.75 % of the gross profits for 13 days ' work on Superman . He finished out the 1970s with his controversial performance as Colonel Kurtz in another Coppola film , Apocalypse Now , a box-office hit for which he was highly paid and which helped finance his career layoff during the 1980s . Brando was ranked by the American Film Institute as the fourth-greatest movie star among male movie stars whose screen debuts occurred in or before 1950 . He was one of only three professional actors , along with Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe , named in 1999 by Time magazine as one of its 100 Most Important People of the Century . He died of respiratory failure on July 1 , 2004 , at age 80 ."

Instagram is a service that allows users to share pictures and it's very popular.
|
[
" Instagram Instagram is a mobile , desktop , and internet-based photo-sharing application and service that allows users to share pictures and videos either publicly or privately . It was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger , and launched in October 2010 as a free mobile app exclusively for the iOS operating system . A version for Android devices was released two years later , in April 2012 , followed by a feature-limited website interface in November 2012 , and apps for Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 10 in April 2016 and October 2016 respectively . Instagram lets registered users upload photos or videos to the service . Users can apply various digital filters to their images , and add locations through geotags . They can add hashtags to their posts , linking the photos up to other content on Instagram featuring the same subject or overall topic . Users can connect their Instagram account to other social media profiles , enabling them to share photos to those profiles as well . Originally , a distinctive feature of Instagram was its confining of photos to a square ; this was changed in August 2015 , when an update started allowing users to upload media at full size . In June 2012 , an `` Explore '' tab was introduced in the mobile apps , showing users a variety of media , including ( but not limited to ) popular photos and photos taken at nearby locations , trending tags and places , channels for recommended videos , and curated content . Support for videos was originally launched in June 2013 , and had a 15-second maximum duration and limited quality , with Instagram later adding support for widescreen and longer videos . Private messaging , called Instagram Direct , was launched with basic photo-sharing functionality in December 2013 , and has gradually received major updates incorporating more features . Updates include easier private sharing from the news feed , threaded conversations , sharing locations and hashtag pages , increased support for text and emoji , and the ability to make photos `` disappear '' after being viewed by the recipient . In August 2016 , Instagram introduced a `` Stories '' feature , letting users add photos to a story , with the content disappearing after 24 hours . Instagram added live-video functionality to Stories in November 2016 , augmented reality stickers in April 2017 , and face filters in May 2017 . After its launch in 2010 , Instagram rapidly gained popularity , with one million registered users in two months , 10 million in a year , and ultimately 700 million as of April 2017 . Its users have uploaded over 40 billion photos to the service as of October 2015 . , the Instagram Stories functionality has over 200 million active users , while Instagram Direct has 375 million active users . Instagram was acquired by Facebook in April 2012 for approximately US$ 1 billion in cash and stock . The popularity of Instagram has sparked an engaging community , including dedicated `` trends '' , in which users post specific types of photos on specific days of the week with a hashtag representing a common theme . Instagram has received positive reviews for its iOS app , and it has been named `` one of the most influential social networks in the world '' . However , the company has been the subject of criticism on several issues , most notably incidents of drug sales on the platform , allegations of censorship towards women , and a May 2017 survey in the United Kingdom concluding that the service was bad for young mental health ."

" Social networking service A social networking service ( also social networking site , SNS or social media ) is an online platform that is used by people to build social networks or social relations with other people who share similar personal or career interests , activities , backgrounds or real-life connections . The variety of stand-alone and built-in social networking services currently available in the online space introduces challenges of definition ; however , there are some common features : social networking services are Internet-based applications user-generated content ( UGC ) is the lifeblood of SNS organisms users create service-specific profiles for the site or app that are designed and maintained by the SNS organization and social networking services facilitate the development of online social networks by connecting a user 's profile with those of other individuals or groups . Most social network services are web-based and provide means for users to interact over the Internet , such as by e-mail and instant messaging and online forums . Social networking sites are varied and they incorporate a range of new information and communication tools such as availability on desktop and laptops , mobile devices such as tablet computers and smartphones , digital photo/video/sharing and `` web logging '' diary entries online ( blogging ) . Online community services are sometimes considered a social network service , though in a broader sense , social network service usually means an individual-centered service whereas online community services are group-centered . Social networking sites allow users to share ideas , digital photos and videos , posts , and inform others about online or real world activities and events with people in their network . While in-person social networking , such as gathering in a village market to talk about events has existed since the earliest developments of towns , the Web enables people to connect with others who live in different locations , ranging from across a city to across the world . Depending on the social media platform , members may be able to contact any other member . In other cases , members can contact anyone they have a connection to , and subsequently anyone that contact has a connection to , and so on . LinkedIn , a career social networking service , generally requires that a member personally know another member in real life before they contact them online . Some services require members to have a preexisting connection to contact other members . The main types of social networking services are those that contain category places ( such as former school year or classmates ) , means to connect with friends ( usually with self-description pages ) , and a recommendation system linked to trust . Social network services can be split into three types : socializing social network services are primarily for socializing with existing friends ( e.g. , Facebook ) ; networking social network services are primarily for non-social interpersonal communication ( e.g. , LinkedIn , a career and employment-oriented site ) ; and social navigation social network services are primarily for helping users to find specific information or resources ( e.g. , Goodreads for books ) . There have been attempts to standardize these services to avoid the need to duplicate entries of friends and interests ( see the FOAF standard ) . A study reveals that India has recorded world 's largest growth in terms of social media users in 2013 . A 2013 survey found that 73 % of U.S. adults use social networking sites .",
" Photo shoot A photo shoot is generally used in the fashion or glamour industry , whereby a model poses for a photographer at a studio or an outdoor location where multiple photos are taken to find the best ones for the required brief . The `` model '' is not always a person , however ; for instance , advertising in print often requires photographic depiction of advertised goods , and food can be the subject of magazine articles ( often in very elaborate presentations ) ."

The windigo is a type of being.

[
" Wendigo In Algonquian folklore , the wendigo or windigo is a cannibal monster or evil spirit native to the northern forests of the Atlantic Coast and Great Lakes Region of both the United States and Canada . The wendigo may appear as a monster with some characteristics of a human , or as a spirit who has possessed a human being and made them become monstrous . It is historically associated with cannibalism , murder , insatiable greed , and the cultural taboos against such behaviours . The legend lends its name to the disputed modern medical term Wendigo psychosis , which is considered by psychiatrists to be a form of culture-bound syndrome with symptoms such as an intense craving for human flesh and a fear of becoming a cannibal . In some Indigenous communities , environmental destruction and insatiable greed are also seen as a manifestation of Wendigo Psychosis ."

" Nature Nature , in the broadest sense , is the natural , physical , or material world or universe . `` Nature '' can refer to the phenomena of the physical world , and also to life in general . The study of nature is a large part of science . Although humans are part of nature , human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena . The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura , or `` essential qualities , innate disposition '' , and in ancient times , literally meant `` birth '' . Natura is a Latin translation of the Greek word physis , which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants , animals , and other features of the world develop of their own accord . The concept of nature as a whole , the physical universe , is one of several expansions of the original notion ; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers , and has steadily gained currency ever since . This usage continued during the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries . Within the various uses of the word today , `` nature '' often refers to geology and wildlife . Nature can refer to the general realm of living plants and animals , and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects -- the way that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord , such as the weather and geology of the Earth . It is often taken to mean the `` natural environment '' or wilderness -- wild animals , rocks , forest , and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention , or which persist despite human intervention . For example , manufactured objects and human interaction generally are not considered part of nature , unless qualified as , for example , `` human nature '' or `` the whole of nature '' . This more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial , with the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human consciousness or a human mind . Depending on the particular context , the term `` natural '' might also be distinguished from the unnatural or the supernatural .",
" Humanoid A humanoid ( -LSB- ˈhjuːmənɔɪd -RSB- from English human and - oid `` resembling '' ) is something that has an appearance resembling a human being . The earliest recorded use of the term , in 1870 , referred to indigenous peoples in areas colonized by Europeans . By the 20th century , the term came to describe fossils which were morphologically similar , but not identical , to those of the human skeleton . Although this usage was common in the sciences for much of the 20th century , it is now considered rare . More generally , the term can refer to anything with distinctly human characteristics or adaptations , such as possessing opposable anterior forelimb-appendages ( i.e. thumbs ) , visible spectrum-binocular vision ( i.e. having two eyes ) , or biomechanic plantigrade-bipedalism ( i.e. the ability to walk on heels and metatarsals in an upright position ) . Science fiction media frequently present sentient extraterrestrial lifeforms as humanoid as a byproduct of convergent evolution theory ."

" Low-budget film A low-budget film is a motion picture shot with little to no funding from a major film studio or private investor . Many independent films are made on low budgets , but films made on the mainstream circuit with inexperienced or unknown filmmakers can also have low budgets . Many young or first time filmmakers shoot low-budget films to prove their talent before doing bigger productions . Many low-budget films that do not gain some form of attention or acclaim are never released in theatres and are often sent straight to retail because of its lack of marketability , look , story , or premise . There is no precise number to define a low budget production , and it is relative to both genre and country . What might be a low-budget film in one country may be a big budget in another . Modern-day young filmmakers rely on film festivals for pre promotion . They use this to gain acclaim and attention for their films , which often leads to a limited release in theatres . Film that acquire a cult following may be given a wide release . Low-budget films can be either professional productions or amateur . They are either shot using professional or consumer equipment . Some genres are more conducive to low-budget filmmaking than others . Horror films are a very popular genre for low-budget directorial debuts . Jeremy Gardner , director of The Battery says that horror fans are more attracted to how the films affect them than seeing movie stars . This allows horror films to focus more on provoking a reaction than on expensive casting choices . Thriller films are also a popular choice for low-budget films , as they focus on narrative . Science fiction films , which were once the domain of B movies , frequently require a big budget to accommodate their special effects , but low-cost do-it-yourself computer-generated imagery can make them affordable , especially when they focus on story and characterization . Plot devices like shooting as found footage can lower production costs , and scripts that rely on extended dialogue , such as Reservoir Dogs or Sex , Lies , and Videotape , can entertain audiences without many sets . The money flow in filmmaking is a unique system because of the uncertainty of demand . The makers of the film do not know how well the film they release will be received . They may predict a film will do very well and pay back the cost of production , but only get a portion back . Or the opposite may happen where a project that few think will go far can bring in more profit than imaginable . A big gambling variable that is also involved is the use of stars . Frequently stars are brought on to a project to gain the film publicity and fame . This process can be profitable , but it is not a foolproof mechanism to successful funding . Well-known actors may join a low-budget film for a portion of the gross .",

Freak Out! was Frank Zappa's debut album.
|
[
" Frank Zappa Frank Vincent Zappa ( December 21 , 1940 -- December 4 , 1993 ) was an American musician , activist and filmmaker . His work was characterized by nonconformity , free-form improvisation , sound experiments , musical virtuosity , and satire of American culture . In a career spanning more than 30 years , Zappa composed rock , pop , jazz , jazz fusion , orchestral and musique concrète works , and produced almost all of the 60-plus albums that he released with his band the Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist . Zappa also directed feature-length films and music videos , and designed album covers . He is considered one of the most innovative and stylistically diverse rock musicians of his generation . As a self-taught composer and performer , Zappa 's diverse musical influences led him to create music that was sometimes difficult to categorize . While in his teens , he acquired a taste for 20th-century classical composers such as Edgard Varèse , Igor Stravinsky , and Anton Webern , along with 1950s rhythm and blues and doo-wop music . He began writing classical music in high school , while at the same time playing drums in rhythm and blues bands ; later switching to electric guitar . His 1966 debut album with the Mothers of Invention , Freak Out ! , combined songs in conventional rock and roll format with collective improvisations and studio-generated sound collages . He continued this eclectic and experimental approach , irrespective of whether the fundamental format was rock , jazz or classical . Zappa 's output is unified by a conceptual continuity he termed `` Project/Object '' , with numerous musical phrases , ideas , and characters reappearing across his albums . His lyrics reflected his iconoclastic views of established social and political processes , structures and movements , often humorously so . He was a strident critic of mainstream education and organized religion , and a forthright and passionate advocate for freedom of speech , self-education , political participation and the abolition of censorship . Unlike many other rock musicians of his era , he personally disapproved of and seldom used drugs , but supported their decriminalization and regulation . During Zappa 's lifetime , he was a highly productive and prolific artist , earning widespread acclaim from critics and fellow musicians . He had some commercial success , particularly in Europe , and worked as an independent artist for most of his career . He remains a major influence on musicians and composers . His honors include an induction into the 1995 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the 1997 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award . In 2000 , he was ranked number 36 on VH1 's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock . In 2004 , Rolling Stone magazine ranked him at number 71 on its list of the `` 100 Greatest Artists of All Time '' , and in 2011 at number 22 on its list of the `` 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time '' ."

" Doctor Zhivago (film) Doctor Zhivago ( Italian : Il dottor Zivago ) is a 1965 British-Italian epic romantic drama film directed by David Lean . It is set in Russia between the years prior to World War I and the Russian Civil War of 1917 -- 1922 , and is based on the Boris Pasternak novel of the same name . While immensely popular in the West , the book was banned in the Soviet Union for decades . For this reason , the film could not be made in the Soviet Union and was instead filmed mostly in Spain . The film stars Omar Sharif in the title role as Yuri Zhivago , a married physician whose life is irreversibly altered by the Russian Revolution and subsequent Civil War , and Julie Christie as his , also married , love interest Lara Antipova . The supporting cast includes Geraldine Chaplin , Rod Steiger , Alec Guinness , Tom Courtenay , Ralph Richardson , Siobhán McKenna and Rita Tushingham . Contemporary critics were generally disappointed , complaining of its length at over three hours , and claiming that it trivialized history , but acknowledging the intensity of the love story and the film 's treatment of human themes . Over time , however , the film 's reputation has improved greatly . At the 38th Academy Awards , Doctor Zhivago won five Oscars : Best Adapted Screenplay , Best Original Score , Best Cinematography , Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design ; it was nominated for five others ( including Best Picture and Best Director ) , but lost four of these five to The Sound of Music . It also won five awards at the 23rd Golden Globe Awards including Best Motion Picture - Drama and Best Actor - Motion Picture Drama for Sharif . As of 2016 , it is the eighth highest-grossing film of all time in the United States and Canada , adjusted for ticket-price inflation . It was ranked by the American Film Institute in 1998 as the 39th greatest film on their 100 Years . .100 Movies list , and by the British Film Institute the following year as the 27th greatest British film of all time .",

It won Academy Awards for Best Cinematography ( Pasqualino De Santis ) and Best Costume Design ( Danilo Donati ) ; it was also nominated for Best Director and Best Picture , making it the last Shakespearean film to be nominated for Best Picture to date . Sir Laurence Olivier spoke the film 's prologue and epilogue and reportedly dubbed the voice of the Italian actor playing Lord Montague , but was not credited in the film . Being the most financially successful film adaptation of a Shakespeare play at the time of its release , it was popular among teenagers partly because it was the first film to use actors who were close to the age of the characters from the original play . Several critics also welcomed the film enthusiastically ."

[
" Bradford Bradford -LSB- ˈbrædfərd -RSB- is in the Metropolitan Borough of the City of Bradford in West Yorkshire , England , in the foothills of the Pennines 8.6 mi west of Leeds , and 16 mi northwest of Wakefield . Bradford became a municipal borough in 1847 , and received its charter as a city in 1897 . Following local government reform in 1974 , city status was bestowed upon the wider metropolitan borough . Bradford forms part of the West Yorkshire Urban Area conurbation which in 2001 had a population of 1.5 million and it is the fourth largest urban area in the United Kingdom with the Bradford subdivision of the aforementioned urban area having a population of 528,155 . Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire , Bradford rose to prominence during the 19th century as an international centre of textile manufacture , particularly wool . It was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution , and amongst the earliest industrialised settlements , rapidly becoming the `` wool capital of the world '' . The area 's access to a supply of coal , iron ore and soft water facilitated the growth of Bradford 's manufacturing base , which , as textile manufacture grew , led to an explosion in population and was a stimulus to civic investment ; Bradford has a large amount of listed Victorian architecture including the grand Italianate City Hall . The textile sector in Bradford fell into decline from the mid-20th century . Since this time , Bradford has emerged as a tourist destination , becoming the first UNESCO City of Film with attractions such as the National Science and Media Museum , Bradford City Park , the Alhambra theatre and Cartwright Hall . However , Bradford has faced similar challenges to the rest of the post-industrial area of Northern England , including deindustrialisation , social unrest and economic deprivation ."

" Journey (Kingdom Come album) Journey is the third and final studio album by British experimental rock band Kingdom Come . After the band featured drastically different styles on their first two albums , and after several line-up changes , band leader Arthur Brown worked the band towards a new direction for Journey . The album was the first album in history to use a drum machine responsible for all the percussive sounds on the album . The drum machine in question was the Bentley Rhythm Ace , manufactured by Ace Tone . Although the band had commented the album was entirely based on the drum machine , the band attempted to , in rock and electronic terms , create an album that was the closest they could get `` to a string quartet '' . The album features other experimental techniques , including using a triangle to guide guitar playing and excessive use of Mellotron and synthesizers from new member Victor Peranio , who replaced Michael `` Goodge '' Harris early on production . The album was recorded in November 1972 in Rockfield Studios and released in 1973 by Polydor Records . The album was not a popular release , although has gone on to be regarded as a groundbreaking and innovative album that was ahead of its time . Although overlooked upon release , it has received generally positive retrospective reviews from critics . Alan Holmes of Freq said that `` Journey was so far ahead of its time that you have to keep checking the sleeve to make sure that it really does say 1973 and not 1983 '' and that the album was `` not only Arthur Brown 's masterpiece , but also one of the truly great albums of the seventies .

" Jazz Jazz is a music genre that originated in African American communities of New Orleans , United States , in the late 19th and early 20th centuries , and developed from roots in blues and ragtime . Since the 1920s Jazz Age , jazz has become recognized as a major form of musical expression . It then emerged in the form of independent traditional and popular musical styles , all linked by the common bonds of African American and European American musical parentage with a performance orientation . Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes , call and response vocals , polyrhythms and improvisation . Jazz has roots in West African cultural and musical expression , and in African-American music traditions including blues and ragtime , as well as European military band music . Although the foundation of jazz is deeply rooted within the Black experience of the United States , different cultures have contributed their own experience and styles to the art form as well . Intellectuals around the world have hailed jazz as `` one of America 's original art forms '' . As jazz spread around the world , it drew on different national , regional , and local musical cultures , which gave rise to many distinctive styles . New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s , combining earlier brass-band marches , French quadrilles , biguine , ragtime and blues with collective polyphonic improvisation . In the 1930s , heavily arranged dance-oriented swing big bands , Kansas City jazz , a hard-swinging , bluesy , improvisational style and Gypsy jazz ( a style that emphasized musette waltzes ) were the prominent styles . Bebop emerged in the 1940s , shifting jazz from danceable popular music toward a more challenging `` musician 's music '' which was played at faster tempos and used more chord-based improvisation . Cool jazz developed in the end of the 1940s , introducing calmer , smoother sounds and long , linear melodic lines . The 1950s saw the emergence of free jazz , which explored playing without regular meter , beat and formal structures , and in the mid-1950s , hard bop emerged , which introduced influences from rhythm and blues , gospel , and blues , especially in the saxophone and piano playing . Modal jazz developed in the late 1950s , using the mode , or musical scale , as the basis of musical structure and improvisation . Jazz-rock fusion appeared in the late 1960s and early 1970s , combining jazz improvisation with rock music 's rhythms , electric instruments , and highly amplified stage sound . In the early 1980s , a commercial form of jazz fusion called smooth jazz became successful , garnering significant radio airplay . Other styles and genres abound in the 2000s , such as Latin and Afro-Cuban jazz ."

" Country A country is a region that is identified as a distinct national entity in political geography . A country may be an independent sovereign state or one that is occupied by another state , as a non-sovereign or formerly sovereign political division , or a geographic region associated with sets of previously independent or differently associated people with distinct political characteristics . Regardless of the physical geography , in the modern internationally accepted legal definition as defined by the League of Nations in 1937 and reaffirmed by the United Nations in 1945 , a resident of a country is subject to the independent exercise of legal jurisdiction . Sometimes the word countries is used to refer both to sovereign states and to other political entities , while other times it refers only to states . For example , the CIA World Factbook uses the word in its `` Country name '' field to refer to `` a wide variety of dependencies , areas of special sovereignty , uninhabited islands , and other entities in addition to the traditional countries or independent states '' . -LSB- Note 1 -RSB-",

In metropolitan areas , the term often refers to an inner city neighbourhood , a suburb or a suburban neighborhood .

Municipalities and cities in the Philippines are subdivided into barangays , with the exception of the municipalities of Adams in Ilocos Norte and Kalayaan , Palawan which each contain only one barangay . The barangay itself is sometimes informally subdivided into smaller areas called purok ( English : zone ) , barangay zones consisting of a cluster of houses , and sitios , which are territorial enclaves -- usually rural -- far from the barangay center . , there were 42,029 barangays throughout the Philippines ."

" Regnal name A regnal name , or reign name , is a name used by some monarchs and popes during their reigns , and used subsequently to refer to them . The term is simply the adjective `` regnal '' , of or relating to a reign , monarch , or kingdom , modifying `` name '' . Since ancient times , monarchs have frequently , but not always , chosen to use a different name from their original name when they accede to the monarchy . The regnal name is usually followed by a regnal number ( ordinal ) , usually written as a Roman numeral ( VI rather than 6 ) , to provide a unique identification for that monarch among other monarchs of that realm . In some cases , the monarch has more than one regnal name , but the regnal number is based on only one of those names , for example Charles X Gustav of Sweden , George Tupou V of Tonga . If a monarch reigns in more than one realm , he or she may carry different ordinals in each one , as they are each assigned chronologically , and some realms may have had different numbers of rulers of the same regnal name previously . For example , the same person was both King James I of England ( along with Ireland ) and King James VI of Scotland . The ordinal is not normally used for the first ruler of the name , but is used in historical references once the name is used again . Thus , Queen Elizabeth I of England was called simply `` Elizabeth of England '' until the accession of Queen Elizabeth II in 1952 ; subsequent historical references to the earlier queen retroactively refer to her as Elizabeth I. However , Tsar Paul I of Russia , King Umberto I of Italy , King Juan Carlos I of Spain , and Pope John Paul I all used the ordinal I ( first ) during their reigns , while Pope Francis does not . In spoken English , such names are pronounced as `` Elizabeth the First '' , `` George the Sixth '' etc. . In some countries in Asia , monarchs took or take era names . While era names as such are not used in many monarchies , sometimes eras are named after a monarch ( usually long-lived ) , or a succession of monarchs of the same name . This is customary ; there is no formal or general rule . The whole period during which a succession of four Georges ( George I , II , III , and IV ) of the Hanoverian dynasty reigned in Great Britain became known as the Georgian era ; although there were many Edwards , the Edwardian era always refers to the reign of Edward VII at the beginning of the 20th century ."

Theodore Roosevelt was schooled at home instead of attending formal public or private schooling.

[
" Theodore Roosevelt Theodore Roosevelt Jr. ( -LSB- ˈroʊzəvɛlt -RSB- ; October 27 , 1858 -- January 6 , 1919 ) was an American statesman , author , explorer , soldier , naturalist , and reformer who served as the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909 . He also served as the 25th Vice President of the United States and as the 33rd Governor of New York . As a leader of the Republican Party during this time , he became a driving force for the Progressive Era in the United States in the early 20th century . His face is depicted on Mount Rushmore , alongside those of George Washington , Thomas Jefferson , and Abraham Lincoln . Roosevelt was born a sickly child with debilitating asthma , but he successfully overcame his physical health problems by embracing a strenuous lifestyle . He integrated his exuberant personality , vast range of interests , and world-famous achievements into a `` cowboy '' persona defined by robust masculinity . Home-schooled , he began a lifelong naturalist avocation before attending Harvard College . His book , The Naval War of 1812 ( 1882 ) , established his reputation as both a learned historian and as a popular writer . Upon entering politics , he became the leader of the reform faction of Republicans in New York 's state legislature . Following the near-simultaneous deaths of his wife and mother , he escaped to a cattle ranch in the Dakotas . Roosevelt served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President William McKinley , but resigned from that post to lead the Rough Riders during the Spanish -- American War . Returning a war hero , he was elected Governor of New York in 1898 . After the death of Vice President Garret Hobart , the New York state party leadership convinced McKinley to accept Roosevelt as his running mate in the 1900 election , moving Roosevelt to the prestigious but powerless role of vice president . Roosevelt campaigned vigorously and the McKinley-Roosevelt ticket won a landslide victory based on a platform of peace , prosperity , and conservatism . Following McKinley 's assassination in September 1901 , Roosevelt became president at age 42 , and remains the youngest president . As a leader of the Progressive movement , he championed his `` Square Deal '' domestic policies , promising the average citizen fairness , breaking of trusts , regulation of railroads , and pure food and drugs . Making conservation a top priority , he established a myriad of new national parks , forests , and monuments intended to preserve the nation 's natural resources . In foreign policy , he focused on Central America , where he began construction of the Panama Canal . He expanded the Navy and sent the Great White Fleet on a world tour to project the United States ' naval power around the globe . His successful efforts to broker the end of the Russo-Japanese War won him the 1906 Nobel Peace Prize . He avoided the controversial tariff and money issues . Elected in 1904 to a full term , Roosevelt continued to promote progressive policies , but many of his efforts and much of his legislative agenda were eventually blocked in Congress . Roosevelt successfully groomed his close friend , William Howard Taft , and Taft won the 1908 presidential election to succeed him . In polls of historians and political scientists , Roosevelt is generally ranked as one of the five best presidents . Frustrated with Taft 's conservatism , Roosevelt belatedly tried to win the 1912 Republican nomination . He failed , walked out , and founded a third party , the Progressive , so-called `` Bull Moose '' Party , which called for wide-ranging progressive reforms . The split allowed the Democrats to win the White House and a majority in both houses of Congress . Following his election defeat , Roosevelt led a two-year expedition to the Amazon basin , where he nearly died of tropical disease . During World War I , he criticized President Woodrow Wilson for keeping the country out of the war with Germany , and his offer to lead volunteers to France was rejected . Though he had considered running for president again in 1920 , Roosevelt 's health continued to deteriorate , and he died in 1919 ."

Of all the continents, Antarctica is the coldest on average.

" Antarctica Antarctica ( UK English -LSB- ænˈtɑːktɪkə -RSB- or -LSB- ænˈtɑːtɪkə -RSB- , US English -LSB- æntˈɑːrktɪkə -RSB- ) is Earth 's southernmost continent . It contains the geographic South Pole and is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere , almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle , and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean . At 14000000 km2 , it is the fifth-largest continent . For comparison , Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia . About 98 % of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages 1.9 km in thickness , which extends to all but the northernmost reaches of the Antarctic Peninsula . Antarctica , on average , is the coldest , driest , and windiest continent , and has the highest average elevation of all the continents . Antarctica is a desert , with annual precipitation of only 200 mm ( 8 in ) along the coast and far less inland . The temperature in Antarctica has reached − 89.2 ° C ( − 128.6 ° F ) , though the average for the third quarter ( the coldest part of the year ) is − 63 ° C ( − 81 ° F ) . Anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 people reside throughout the year at the research stations scattered across the continent . Organisms native to Antarctica include many types of algae , bacteria , fungi , plants , protista , and certain animals , such as mites , nematodes , penguins , seals and tardigrades . Vegetation , where it occurs , is tundra . Although myths and speculation about a Terra Australis ( `` Southern Land '' ) date back to antiquity , Antarctica is noted as the last region on Earth in recorded history to be discovered and colonised by humans , being only first sighted in 1820 by the Russian expedition of Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev on Vostok and Mirny , who sighted the Fimbul ice shelf . The continent , however , remained largely neglected for the rest of the 19th century because of its hostile environment , lack of easily accessible resources , and isolation . In 1895 , the first confirmed landing was conducted by a team of Norwegians . Antarctica is a de facto condominium , governed by parties to the Antarctic Treaty System that have consulting status . Twelve countries signed the Antarctic Treaty in 1959 , and thirty-eight have signed it since then . The treaty prohibits military activities and mineral mining , prohibits nuclear explosions and nuclear waste disposal , supports scientific research , and protects the continent 's ecozone . Ongoing experiments are conducted by more than 4,000 scientists from many nations ."

" Europe Europe is a continent that comprises the westernmost part of Eurasia . Europe is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north , the Atlantic Ocean to the west , and the Mediterranean Sea to the south . The eastern boundary with Asia is a historical and cultural construct , as there is no clear physical and geographical separation between them ; Europe is generally considered as separated from Asia by the watershed divides of the Ural and Caucasus Mountains , the Ural River , the Caspian and Black Seas , and the waterways of the Turkish Straits . Yet the non-oceanic borders of Europe -- a concept dating back to classical antiquity -- are arbitrary . The primarily physiographic term `` continent '' as applied to Europe also incorporates cultural and political elements whose discontinuities are not always reflected by the continent 's current overland boundaries . Europe covers about 10,180,000 km2 , or 2 % of the Earth 's surface ( 6.8 % of land area ) . Politically , Europe is divided into about fifty sovereign states of which the Russian Federation is the largest and most populous , spanning 39 % of the continent and comprising 15 % of its population . Europe had a total population of about 740 million ( about 11 % of world population ) . The European climate is largely affected by warm Atlantic currents that temper winters and summers on much of the continent , even at latitudes along which the climate in Asia and North America is severe . Further from the sea , seasonal differences are more noticeable than close to the coast . Europe , in particular ancient Greece , was the birthplace of Western civilization . The fall of the Western Roman Empire , during the migration period , marked the end of ancient history and the beginning of an era known as the Middle Ages . Renaissance humanism , exploration , art , and science led to the modern era . From the Age of Discovery onwards , Europe played a predominant role in global affairs . Between the 16th and 20th centuries , European powers controlled at various times the Americas , most of Africa , Oceania , and the majority of Asia . The Industrial Revolution , which began in Great Britain at the end of the 18th century , gave rise to radical economic , cultural , and social change in Western Europe , and eventually the wider world . Both world wars took place for the most part in Europe , contributing to a decline in Western European dominance in world affairs by the mid-20th century as the Soviet Union and the United States took prominence . During the Cold War , Europe was divided along the Iron Curtain between NATO in the west and the Warsaw Pact in the east , until the revolutions of 1989 and fall of the Berlin Wall . In 1955 , the Council of Europe was formed following a speech by Sir Winston Churchill , with the idea of unifying Europe to achieve common goals . It includes all states except for Belarus , Kazakhstan and Vatican City . Further European integration by some states led to the formation of the European Union , a separate political entity that lies between a confederation and a federation . The EU originated in Western Europe but has been expanding eastward since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 . The currency of most countries of the European Union , the euro , is the most commonly used among Europeans ; and the EU 's Schengen Area abolishes border and immigration controls among most of its member states . The European Anthem is `` Ode to Joy '' and states celebrate peace and unity on Europe Day .",
" Antarctic ice sheet The Antarctic ice sheet is one of the two polar ice caps of the Earth . It covers about 98 % of the Antarctic continent and is the largest single mass of ice on Earth . It covers an area of almost 14 e6km2 and contains 26.5 e6km3 of ice . Approximately 61 percent of all fresh water on the Earth is held in the Antarctic ice sheet , an amount equivalent to about 58 m of sea-level rise . In East Antarctica , the ice sheet rests on a major land mass , but in West Antarctica the bed can extend to more than 2,500 m below sea level . Much of the land in this area would be seabed if the ice sheet were not there . In contrast to the melting of the Arctic sea ice , sea ice around Antarctica was expanding . The reasons for this are not fully understood , but suggestions include the climatic effects on ocean and atmospheric circulation of the ozone hole , and/or cooler ocean surface temperatures as the warming deep waters melt the ice shelves ."

" Midfielder A midfielder is an association football position . Midfielders are generally positioned on the field between their team 's defenders and forwards . Some midfielders play a disciplined defensive role , breaking up attacks , and are otherwise known as defensive midfielders . Others blur the boundaries , being more mobile and efficient in passing : they are commonly referred to as deep-lying midfielders , play-makers , box-to-box , or holding midfielders . The number of midfielders on a team and their assigned roles depends on the team 's formation ; the collective group of these players on the field is sometimes referred to as the midfield . Most managers assign at least one midfielder to disrupt the opposing team 's attacks , while others may be tasked with creating goals , or have equal responsibilities between attack and defence . Midfielders are the players who typically travel the greatest distance during a match . Because midfielders arguably have the most possession during a game they are among the fittest players on the pitch .",

William McKinley died peacefully from natural causes.
|
[
" William McKinley William McKinley Jr. ( January 29 , 1843 -- September 14 , 1901 ) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 25th President of the United States from March 4 , 1897 until his assassination in September 1901 , six months into his second term . McKinley led the nation to victory in the Spanish -- American War , raised protective tariffs to promote American industry , and maintained the nation on the gold standard in a rejection of inflationary proposals . McKinley was the last president to have served in the American Civil War , and the only one to have started the war as an enlisted soldier , beginning as a private in the Union Army and ending as a brevet major . After the war , he settled in Canton , Ohio , where he practiced law and married Ida Saxton . In 1876 , he was elected to Congress , where he became the Republican Party 's expert on the protective tariff , which he promised would bring prosperity . His 1890 McKinley Tariff was highly controversial ; which together with a Democratic redistricting aimed at gerrymandering him out of office , led to his defeat in the Democratic landslide of 1890 . He was elected Ohio 's governor in 1891 and 1893 , steering a moderate course between capital and labor interests . With the aid of his close adviser Mark Hanna , he secured the Republican nomination for president in 1896 , amid a deep economic depression . He defeated his Democratic rival , William Jennings Bryan , after a front-porch campaign in which he advocated `` sound money '' ( the gold standard unless altered by international agreement ) and promised that high tariffs would restore prosperity . Rapid economic growth marked McKinley 's presidency . He promoted the 1897 Dingley Tariff to protect manufacturers and factory workers from foreign competition , and in 1900 , he secured the passage of the Gold Standard Act . McKinley hoped to persuade Spain to grant independence to rebellious Cuba without conflict , but when negotiation failed , he led the nation into the Spanish -- American War of 1898 ; the U.S. victory was quick and decisive . As part of the peace settlement , Spain turned over to the United States its main overseas colonies of Puerto Rico , Guam , and the Philippines ; Cuba was promised independence , but at that time remained under the control of the U.S. Army . The United States annexed the independent Republic of Hawaii in 1898 and it became a U.S. territory . Historians regard McKinley 's 1896 victory as a realigning election , in which the political stalemate of the post -- Civil War era gave way to the Republican-dominated Fourth Party System , which began with the Progressive Era . McKinley defeated Bryan again in the 1900 presidential election , in a campaign focused on imperialism , protectionism , and free silver . However , his legacy was quickly cut short when he was shot on September 6 , 1901 by Leon Czolgosz , a second-generation Polish-American with anarchist leanings ; McKinley died eight days later , and was succeeded by his Vice President Theodore Roosevelt . As an innovator of American interventionism and pro-business sentiment , McKinley 's presidency is generally considered above average , though his universally positive public perception was soon overshadowed by Roosevelt ."

" William Randolph Hearst William Randolph Hearst ( -LSB- hɜst -RSB- April 29 , 1863 -- August 14 , 1951 ) was an American newspaper publisher who built the nation 's largest newspaper chain and media company Hearst Communications and whose flamboyant methods of yellow journalism influenced the nation 's popular media by emphasizing sensationalism and human interest stories . Hearst entered the publishing business in 1887 after being given control of The San Francisco Examiner by his wealthy father . Moving to New York City , he acquired The New York Journal and fought a bitter circulation war with Joseph Pulitzer 's New York World that sold papers by giant headlines over lurid stories featuring crime , corruption , graphics , sex , and innuendo . Acquiring more newspapers , Hearst created a chain that numbered nearly 30 papers in major American cities at its peak . He later expanded to magazines , creating the largest newspaper and magazine business in the world . He was twice elected as a Democrat to the U.S. House of Representatives , and ran unsuccessfully for President of the United States in 1904 , Mayor of New York City in 1905 and 1909 and for Governor of New York in 1906 . Politically he espoused the Progressive Movement , speaking on behalf of the working class . He controlled the editorial positions and coverage of political news in all his papers and magazines and thereby exercised enormous political influence . He also called for war in 1898 against Spain -- as did many other newspaper editors -- but he did it in sensational fashion . After 1918 , he called for an isolationist foreign policy to avoid any more entanglement in what he regarded as corrupt European affairs . He was at once a militant nationalist , a fierce anti-communist , and deeply suspicious of the League of Nations and of the British , French , Japanese , and Russians . He was a leading supporter of Franklin Roosevelt in 1932 -- 34 , but then broke with FDR and became his most prominent enemy on the right . His peak circulation reached 20 million readers a day in the mid-1930s , but he was a bad money manager and was so deeply in debt that most of his assets had to be liquidated in the late 1930s ; he managed to keep his newspapers and magazines . His life story was the main inspiration for Charles Foster Kane , the lead character in Orson Welles 's film Citizen Kane . His famous mansion , Hearst Castle , on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean near San Simeon , is now a State Historical Monument and a National Historic Landmark .",

Christianity is a system of beliefs and practices.
|
[
" Christianity ChristianityFrom Ancient Greek Χριστός , Khristós ( Latinized as Christus ) , translating Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ , Māšîăḥ , meaning `` the anointed one '' , with the Latin suffixes - ian and - itas . is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ , who serves as the focal point for the religion . It is the world 's largest religion , with over 2.4 billion followers , or 33 % of the global population , known as Christians . Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the savior of humanity whose coming as the Messiah ( the Christ ) was prophesied in the Old Testament . Christian theology is summarized in creeds such as the Apostles ' Creed and Nicene Creed . These professions of faith state that Jesus suffered , died , was buried , descended into hell , and rose from the dead , in order to grant eternal life to those who believe in him and trust in him for the remission of their sins . The creeds further maintain that Jesus bodily ascended into heaven , where he reigns with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit , and that he will return to judge the living and the dead and grant eternal life to his followers . His incarnation , earthly ministry , crucifixion and resurrection are often referred to as `` the gospel '' , meaning `` good news '' . `` Good news '' is a translation of the Ancient Greek term εὐαγγέλιον euangélion , from which the terms evangelical and evangelism derive . The term gospel also refers to written accounts of Jesus 's life and teaching , four of which -- Matthew , Mark , Luke and John -- are considered canonical and included in the Christian Bible . Christianity is an Abrahamic religion that began as a Second Temple Judaic sect in the mid-1st century . Originating in Judea , it quickly spread to Europe , Syria , Mesopotamia , Asia Minor , Transcaucasia , Egypt , Ethiopia and India , and by the end of the 4th century had become the official state church of the Roman Empire . Following the Age of Discovery , Christianity spread to the Americas , Australasia , sub-Saharan Africa and the rest of the world through missionary work and colonization . Christianity has played a prominent role in the shaping of Western civilization . Throughout its history , Christianity has weathered schisms and theological disputes that have resulted in many distinct churches and denominations . Worldwide , the three largest branches of Christianity are the Catholic Church , the Eastern Orthodox Church and the various denominations of Protestantism . The Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches broke communion with each other in the East -- West Schism of 1054 ; Protestantism came into existence in the Reformation of the 16th century , splitting from the Catholic Church ."

" Christian tradition Christian tradition is a collection of traditions consisting of practices or beliefs associated with Christianity . These ecclesiastical traditions have more or less authority based on the nature of the practices or beliefs and on the group in question . Many churches have traditional practices , such as particular patterns of worship or rites , that developed over time . Deviations from such patterns are sometimes considered unacceptable or heretical . Similarly , traditions can be stories or history that are or were widely accepted without being part of Christian doctrine , e.g. , the crucifixion of Saint Peter or the evangelistic activity of Thomas the Apostle in India , which are widely believed to have happened but are not recorded in scripture . Similarly the names of the Magi who visited Jesus at his birth are thought to have been invented much later than the events ; they are not considered authentic or obligatory , but can be considered a tradition . Tradition also includes historic teaching of the recognized church authorities , such as Church Councils and ecclesiastical officials ( e.g. , the Pope , Patriarch of Constantinople , Archbishop of Canterbury , etc. ) , and includes the teaching of significant individuals like the Church Fathers , the Protestant Reformers , and founders of movements like John Wesley . Many creeds , confessions of faith , and catechisms generated by these bodies , and individuals are also part of the traditions of various bodies .",
" Declaration of faith A declaration of faith is a phrase that is said by a member of any religion to show either to themselves , their God or other members of the religion their belief and faith in the religion . Notable declarations of faith include the Sign of the Cross in Christianity , the Shahadah in Islam and the Shema Yisrael in Judaism . There are numerous other declarations of faith , typically performed during religious rituals in many faiths . Often , the declaration of faith is led by the leader of the congregation and followers respond in kind ."

" Bus Stop (1956 film) Bus Stop is a 1956 American romantic comedy film directed by Joshua Logan for 20th Century Fox , starring Marilyn Monroe , Don Murray , Arthur O'Connell , Betty Field , Eileen Heckart , Robert Bray and Hope Lange . Unlike most of Monroe 's movies , Bus Stop is neither a full-fledged comedy nor a musical , but rather a dramatic piece ; it was the first film she appeared in after studying at the Actors Studio in New York . Monroe does however sing one song : `` That Old Black Magic '' by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer . Bus Stop was based on two plays by William Inge , People in the Wind and Bus Stop . The inspiration for the play Bus Stop came from people Inge met in Tonganoxie , Kansas . In the 1961 -- 62 season , ABC adapted the play and film into a television series of the same name , Bus Stop starring Marilyn Maxwell as the owner of the bus station and diner . In the segment `` Chérie '' which most closely follows the film , Tuesday Weld performed the role of Marilyn Monroe , and Gary Lockwood appeared as the Don Murray character . The film was shot in Idaho and Arizona ."

" Staging (theatre, film, television) Staging is the process of selecting , designing , adapting to , or modifying the performance space for a play or film . This includes the use or absence of stagecraft elements as well as the structure of the stage and its components . Staging is also used to mean the result of this process , in other words the spectacle that a play presents in performance , its visual detail . This can include such things as positions of actors on stage ( often referred to as blocking ) , their gestures and movements ( also called stage business ) , the scenic background , the props and costumes , lighting , and sound effects . Besides costume , any physical object that appears in a play has the potential to become an important dramatic symbol . The first thing that the audience of a play sees is the stage set , the physical objects that suggest the world of the play . The stage set is usually indicated by the playwright , but the degree of detail and specificity of this rendering vary from one playwright to another and from one literary period to another . In film , staging is generally called set dressing . While from a critical standpoint , `` staging '' can refer to the spectacle that a play presents in performance , the term is also frequently used interchangeably with the term `` blocking '' , referring to how the performers are placed and moved around the stage . Many audience members may believe that performers move spontaneously on the stage , but blocking/staging is rarely spontaneous . Major points of blocking are often set down by the playwright , but blocking is usually done by the director , sometimes in collaboration with performers and designers . In the modern theater , there are purely mechanical reasons why blocking is crucial . Stage lighting is focused on specific parts of the stage at specific moments , and the performer must be sure to be on his or her `` mark '' or `` spike '' or they may not be well lit . Blocking also ensures that the stage picture gives the proper focus to the proper places , and that transitions occur smoothly . This becomes even more crucial as modern stage technology allows for ever more elaborate special effects . When Twentieth Century Fox introduced wide-screen CinemaScope format , the head of production Darryl Zanuck repeatedly reminded his directors to take full advantage of the screen width by staging action all the way across the frame - in his words , ` keep the people spread out ' . He wanted the audience to experience the full width of the new screen shape . The ` washing line ' staging demanded by Zanuck not only was a commercial imperative , it also was a practical solution for the lack of color film sensitivity as well for inability to employ deep staging .",
" Musical theatre Musical theatre is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs , spoken dialogue , acting , and dance . The story and emotional content of a musical -- humor , pathos , love , anger -- are communicated through the words , music , movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole . Although musical theatre overlaps with other theatrical forms like opera and dance , it may be distinguished by the equal importance given to the music as compared with the dialogue , movement and other elements . Since the early 20th century , musical theatre stage works have generally been called , simply , musicals . Although music has been a part of dramatic presentations since ancient times , modern Western musical theatre emerged during the 19th century , with many structural elements established by the works of Gilbert and Sullivan in Britain and those of Harrigan and Hart in America . These were followed by the numerous Edwardian musical comedies and the musical theatre works of American creators like George M. Cohan . The Princess Theatre musicals and other smart shows like Of Thee I Sing ( 1931 ) were artistic steps forward beyond revues and other frothy entertainments of the early 20th century and led to such groundbreaking works as Show Boat ( 1927 ) and Oklahoma ! ( 1943 ) . Some of the most famous and iconic musicals through the decades that followed include West Side Story ( 1957 ) , The Fantasticks ( 1960 ) , Hair ( 1967 ) , A Chorus Line ( 1975 ) , Les Misérables ( 1985 ) , The Phantom of the Opera ( 1986 ) , Rent ( 1996 ) , The Producers ( 2001 ) , Wicked ( 2003 ) and Hamilton ( 2015 ) . Musicals are performed around the world . They may be presented in large venues , such as big-budget Broadway or West End productions in New York City or London . Alternatively , musicals may be staged in smaller fringe theatre , Off-Broadway or regional theatre productions , or on tour . Musicals are often presented by amateur and school groups in churches , schools and other performance spaces . In addition to the United States and Britain , there are vibrant musical theatre scenes in continental Europe , Asia , Australasia , Canada and Latin America ."

Dopamine sends signals to other nerve cells in the brain.

" Neurotransmitter Neurotransmitters , also known as chemical messengers , are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission . They transmit signals across a chemical synapse , such as a neuromuscular junction , from one neuron ( nerve cell ) to another `` target '' neuron , muscle cell , or gland cell . Neurotransmitters are released from synaptic vesicles in synapses into the synaptic cleft , where they are received by receptors on the target cells . Many neurotransmitters are synthesized from simple and plentiful precursors such as amino acids , which are readily available from the diet and only require a small number of biosynthetic steps for conversion . Neurotransmitters play a major role in shaping everyday life and functions . Their exact numbers are unknown , but more than 100 chemical messengers have been uniquely identified .",
" Dopamine Dopamine ( DA , contracted from 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine ) is an organic chemical of the catecholamine and phenethylamine families that plays several important roles in the brain and body . It is an amine synthesized by removing a carboxyl group from a molecule of its precursor chemical L-DOPA , which is synthesized in the brain and kidneys . Dopamine is also synthesized in plants and most animals . In the brain , dopamine functions as a neurotransmitter -- a chemical released by neurons ( nerve cells ) to send signals to other nerve cells . The brain includes several distinct dopamine pathways , one of which plays a major role in reward-motivated behavior . Most types of rewards increase the level of dopamine in the brain , and many addictive drugs increase dopamine neuronal activity . Other brain dopamine pathways are involved in motor control and in controlling the release of various hormones . These pathways and cell groups form a dopamine system which is neuromodulatory . Outside the central nervous system , dopamine functions primarily as a local chemical messenger . In blood vessels , it inhibits norepinephrine release and acts as a vasodilator ( at normal concentrations ) ; in the kidneys , it increases sodium excretion and urine output ; in the pancreas , it reduces insulin production ; in the digestive system , it reduces gastrointestinal motility and protects intestinal mucosa ; and in the immune system , it reduces the activity of lymphocytes . With the exception of the blood vessels , dopamine in each of these peripheral systems is synthesized locally and exerts its effects near the cells that release it . Several important diseases of the nervous system are associated with dysfunctions of the dopamine system , and some of the key medications used to treat them work by altering the effects of dopamine . Parkinson 's disease , a degenerative condition causing tremor and motor impairment , is caused by a loss of dopamine-secreting neurons in an area of the midbrain called the substantia nigra . Its metabolic precursor L-DOPA can be manufactured , and in its pure form marketed as Levodopa is the most widely used treatment for the condition . There is evidence that schizophrenia involves altered levels of dopamine activity , and most antipsychotic drugs used to treat this are dopamine antagonists which reduce dopamine activity . Similar dopamine antagonist drugs are also some of the most effective anti-nausea agents . Restless legs syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) are associated with decreased dopamine activity . Dopaminergic stimulants can be addictive in high doses , but some are used at lower doses to treat ADHD . Dopamine itself is available as a manufactured medication for intravenous injection : although it can not reach the brain from the bloodstream , its peripheral effects make it useful in the treatment of heart failure or shock , especially in newborn babies ."

" Signal transduction Signal transduction is the process by which a chemical or physical signal is transmitted through a cell as a series of molecular events , most commonly protein phosphorylation , which ultimately result in a response . Proteins responsible for detecting stimuli are generally termed receptors , although in some cases the term sensor is used . The changes elicited by ligand binding ( or signal sensing ) in a receptor give rise to a cascade of biochemical events along a signalling pathway . When signalling pathways interact with one another they form networks , which allow cellular responses to be coordinated . At the molecular level , such responses include changes in the transcription or translation of genes , and post-translational and conformational changes in proteins , as well as changes in their location . These molecular events are the basic mechanisms controlling cell growth , proliferation , metabolism and many other processes . In multicellular organisms , signal transduction pathways have evolved to regulate cell communication in a wide variety of ways . Each component ( or node ) of a signalling pathway is classified according to the role it plays with respect to the initial stimulus . Ligands are termed first messengers , while receptors are the signal transducers , which then activate primary effectors . Such effectors are often linked to second messengers , which can activate secondary effectors , and so on . Depending on the efficiency of the nodes , a signal can be amplified ( a concept known as signal gain ) , so that one signalling molecule can generate a response involving hundreds to millions of molecules . As with other signals , the transduction of biological signals is characterised by delay , noise and interference , which can range from negligible to pathological . With the advent of computational biology , the analysis of signalling pathways and networks has become an essential tool to understand cellular functions and disease .",
" Chemical synapse Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons ' signals can be exchanged to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands . Chemical synapses allow neurons to form circuits within the central nervous system . They are crucial to the biological computations that underlie perception and thought . They allow the nervous system to connect to and control other systems of the body . At a chemical synapse , one neuron releases neurotransmitter molecules into a small space ( the synaptic cleft ) that is adjacent to another neuron . The neurotransmitters are kept within small sacs called vesicles , and are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis . These molecules then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell 's side of the synaptic cleft . Finally , the neurotransmitters must be cleared from the synapse through one of several potential mechanisms including enzymatic degradation or re-uptake by specific transporters either on the presynaptic cell or possibly by neuroglia to terminate the action of the transmitter . The adult human brain is estimated to contain from 1014 to 5 × 1014 ( 100 -- 500 trillion ) synapses . Every cubic millimeter of cerebral cortex contains roughly a billion ( short scale , i.e. 109 ) of them . The word `` synapse '' comes from `` synaptein '' , which Sir Charles Scott Sherrington and colleagues coined from the Greek `` syn - '' ( `` together '' ) and `` haptein '' ( `` to clasp '' ) . Chemical synapses are not the only type of biological synapse : electrical and immunological synapses also exist . Without a qualifier , however , `` synapse '' commonly means chemical synapse ."

Kennedy , and First Lady of the United States from 1961 until his assassination in 1963 . Bouvier was the elder daughter of Wall Street stockbroker John Vernou Bouvier III and socialite Janet Lee Bouvier . In 1951 , she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in French literature from George Washington University and went on to work for the Washington Times-Herald as an inquiring photographer . In 1952 , Bouvier met Congressman John F. Kennedy at a dinner party . In November of that year , he was elected as a United States Senator from Massachusetts , and the couple married in 1953 . They had four children , two of whom died in infancy . As First Lady , she was known for her highly publicized restoration of the White House and her emphasis on arts and culture . On November 22 , 1963 , she was riding with the President in a motorcade in Dallas , Texas , when he was assassinated . She and her children withdrew from public view after his funeral , and in 1968 she married Aristotle Onassis . Following her second husband 's death in 1975 , she had a career as a book editor for the final two decades of her life . She is remembered for her lifelong contributions to the arts and preservation of historic architecture , as well as for her style , elegance , and grace . She was a fashion icon , and her famous ensemble of pink Chanel suit and matching pillbox hat has become a symbol of her husband 's assassination . She ranks as one of the most popular First Ladies and in 1999 was named on Gallup 's list of Most Admired Men and Women in 20th-century America ."

" Slovakia Slovakia ( listen ) , is a landlocked country in Central Europe . It is bordered by the Czech Republic and Austria to the west , Poland to the north , Ukraine to the east and Hungary to the south . Slovakia 's territory spans about 49000 km2 and is mostly mountainous . The population is over 5 million and comprises mostly ethnic Slovaks . The capital and largest city is Bratislava . The official language is Slovak . The Slavs arrived in the territory of present-day Slovakia in the 5th and 6th centuries . In the 7th century , they played a significant role in the creation of Samo 's Empire and in the 9th century established the Principality of Nitra . In the 10th century , the territory was integrated into the Kingdom of Hungary , which itself became part of the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire . After World War I and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire , the Slovaks and Czechs established Czechoslovakia . A separate ( First ) Slovak Republic ( 1939 -- 1945 ) existed in World War II as a client state of Nazi Germany . In 1945 , Czechoslovakia was re-established under Communist rule as a Soviet satellite . In 1989 the Velvet Revolution ended authoritarian Communist rule in Czechoslovakia . Slovakia became an independent state on 1 January 1993 after the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia , sometimes known as the Velvet Divorce . Slovakia is a high-income advanced economy with a very high Human Development Index , a very high standard of living and performs favourably in measurements of civil liberties , press freedom , internet freedom , democratic governance and peacefulness . The country maintains a combination of market economy with a comprehensive social security system . Citizens of Slovakia are provided with universal health care , free education and one of the longest paid maternity leave in the OECD . The country joined the European Union in 2004 and the Eurozone on 1 January 2009 . Slovakia is also a member of the Schengen Area , NATO , the United Nations , the OECD , the WTO , CERN , the OSCE , the Council of Europe and the Visegrád Group . The Slovak economy is one of the fastest growing economies in Europe and 3rd fastest in eurozone . Its legal tender , the Euro , is the world 's 2nd most traded currency . Although regional income inequality is high , 90 % of citizens own their homes . In 2016 , Slovak citizens had visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 165 countries and territories , ranking the Slovak passport 11th in the world . Slovakia is the world 's largest per-capita car producer with a total of 1,040,000 cars manufactured in the country in 2016 alone and the 7th largest car producer in the European Union . The car industry represents 43 % of Slovakia 's industrial output , and a quarter of its exports .",

" Pannonian Basin The Pannonian Basin or Carpathian Basin is a large basin in Central Europe . The geomorphological term Pannonian Plain is more widely used for roughly the same region though with a somewhat different sense , with only the lowlands , the plain that remained when the Pliocene Epoch Pannonian Sea dried out . It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system . Most of the plain consists of the Great Hungarian Plain ( in the south and east , including the Eastern Slovak Lowland ) and the Little Hungarian Plain ( in the northwest ) , divided by the Transdanubian Mountains . The Pannonian Basin lies in the southeastern part of Central Europe , or at the boundary between Central , Eastern and Southeastern Europe ( Balkans ) . It forms a topographically discrete unit set in the European landscape , surrounded by imposing geographic boundaries - the Carpathian Mountains , the Alps , the Dinarides and the Balkan mountains . The Rivers Danube and Tisza divide the basin roughly in half . It extends roughly between Vienna in the northwest , Zagreb in the southwest , Belgrade in the southeast and Satu Mare in the northeast . In terms of modern state boundaries , the basin centres on the territory of Hungary , but it also covers Vojvodina and Mačva regions of Serbia , Central Croatia and Slavonia , western Slovakia , the Eastern Slovak Lowland ( including the southwestern tip of Ukraine ) , besides the border regions of northern Bosnia and Herzegovina , some western portions of Romania , and the eastern extremities of Slovenia and of Austria . The name `` Pannonian '' comes from Pannonia , a province of the Roman Empire . Only the western part of the territory of modern Hungary ( the so-called Transdanubia ) formed part of the ancient Roman Province of Pannonia ; this comprises less than 29 % of modern Hungary , therefore Hungarian geographers avoid the terms `` Pannonian Basin '' and `` Pannonian Plain '' .",
" Council of Europe The Council of Europe ( CoE ; Conseil de l'Europe ) is an international organisation whose stated aim is to uphold human rights , democracy , rule of law in Europe and promote European culture . Founded in 1949 , it has 47 member states , covers approximately 820 million people and operates with an annual budget of approximately half a billion euros . The organisation is distinct from the 28-nation European Union ( EU ) , although it is sometimes confused with it , partly because the EU has adopted the original European Flag which was created by the Council of Europe in 1955 , as well as the European Anthem . No country has ever joined the EU without first belonging to the Council of Europe . Council of Europe is an official United Nations Observer . Unlike the EU , the Council of Europe can not make binding laws , but it does have the power to enforce select international agreements reached by European states on various topics . The best known body of the Council of Europe is the European Court of Human Rights , which enforces the European Convention on Human Rights . The Council 's two statutory bodies are the Committee of Ministers , comprising the foreign ministers of each member state , and the Parliamentary Assembly , composed of members of the national parliaments of each member state . The Commissioner for Human Rights is an independent institution within the Council of Europe , mandated to promote awareness of and respect for human rights in the member states . The Secretary General heads the secretariat of the organisation . Other major CoE bodies include the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines . The headquarters of the Council of Europe are in Strasbourg , France . English and French are its two official languages . The Committee of Ministers , the Parliamentary Assembly and the Congress also use German , Italian , Russian , and Turkish for some of their work ."

A loss of supply affects the government.
|
[
" Loss of supply Loss of supply occurs where a government in a parliamentary democracy using the Westminster System or a system derived from it is denied a supply of treasury or exchequer funds , by whichever house or houses of parliament or head of state is constitutionally entitled to grant and deny supply . A defeat on a budgetary vote is one such way by which supply can be denied . Loss of supply is typically interpreted as indicating a loss of confidence in the government . Not all `` money bills '' are necessarily supply bills . For instance , in Australia , supply bills are defined as `` bills which are required by the Government to carry on its day-to-day business '' . When a loss of supply occurs , a prime minister is generally required either by constitutional convention or by explicit constitutional instruction to either resign immediately or seek a parliamentary dissolution . Some constitutions , however , do not allow the option of parliamentary dissolution but rather require the government to be dissolved or to resign . A similar deadlock can occur within a presidential system , where it is also known as a budget crisis . In contrast to parliamentary systems , the failure of the legislature to authorize spending may not in all circumstances result in an election , because some such legislatures enjoy fixed terms and so can not be dissolved before a date of termination , which can result in a prolonged crisis . A deadlock between a head of state and the legislative body can give rise and cause for a head of state to prematurely dismiss the elected government , requiring it to seek re-election . If a government maintains the support of a majority of legislators or the elected parliamentary representatives , the blocking of supply by a head of state would be seen as an abuse of authority and power . Many western countries have removed or restricted the right of a head of state to block supply or veto a government budget unless there is overwhelming justification and cause for such action ."

" Public utility A public utility ( usually just utility ) is an organization that maintains the infrastructure for a public service ( often also providing a service using that infrastructure ) . Public utilities are subject to forms of public control and regulation ranging from local community-based groups to statewide government monopolies . The term utilities can also refer to the set of services provided by these organizations consumed by the public : electricity , natural gas , water , and sewage . Broadband internet services ( both fixed-line and mobile ) are increasingly being included within the definition .",
" Crowding out (economics) In economics , crowding out is argued by some economists to be a phenomenon that occurs when increased government involvement in a sector of the market economy substantially affects the remainder of the market , either on the supply or demand side of the market . One type frequently discussed is when expansionary fiscal policy reduces investment spending by the private sector . The Government is `` crowding out '' investment because it is demanding more Loanable Funds and it is increasing interest rates from the borrowing , but that was broadened to multiple channels that might leave total output little changed or smaller . Other economists use `` crowding out '' to refer to government providing a service or good that would otherwise be a business opportunity for private industry , and be subject only to the economic forces seen in voluntary exchange ."

Due to cultural , political and historical reasons , Italy is a Western European country . Located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea , Italy shares open land borders with France , Switzerland , Austria , Slovenia , San Marino and Vatican City . Italy covers an area of 301338 km2 and has a largely temperate seasonal and Mediterranean climate . Due to its shape , it is often referred to in Italy as lo Stivale ( the Boot ) . With 61 million inhabitants , it is the fourth most populous EU member state . Since classical times , ancient Phoenicians , Carthaginians and Greeks established settlements in the south of Italy , with Etruscans and Celts inhabiting the centre and north of Italy respectively and various different ancient Italian tribes and Italic peoples dispersed throughout the Italian Peninsula and insular Italy . The Italic tribe known as the Latins formed the Roman Kingdom , which eventually became a republic that conquered and assimilated other nearby civilisations . Rome ultimately emerged as the dominant power in the Mediterranean basin , conquering much of the ancient world and becoming the leading cultural , political and religious centre of Western civilisation . The legacy of the Roman Empire is widespread and can be observed in the global distribution of civilian law , republican governments , Christianity and the Latin script . During the Middle Ages , Italy suffered sociopolitical collapse amid calamitous barbarian invasions , but by the 11th century numerous rival city-states and maritime republics rose to great prosperity through shipping , commerce and banking , laying down the groundwork for modern capitalism . These independent statelets , acting as Europe 's main trading hubs with Asia and the Near East , often enjoyed a greater degree of democracy and wealth in comparison to the larger feudal monarchies that were consolidating throughout Europe at the time , though much of central Italy remained under the control of the theocratic Papal States , while Southern Italy remained largely feudal until the 19th century , partially as a result of a succession of Byzantine , Arab , Norman , Spanish and Bourbon conquests of the region . The Renaissance began in Italy and spread to the rest of Europe , bringing a renewed interest in humanism , science , exploration and art . Italian culture flourished at this time , producing famous scholars , artists and polymaths such as Leonardo da Vinci , Galileo , Michelangelo and Machiavelli . Italian explorers such as Marco Polo , Christopher Columbus , Amerigo Vespucci and Giovanni da Verrazzano discovered new routes to the Far East and the New World , helping to usher in the European Age of Discovery . Nevertheless , Italy 's commercial and political power significantly waned with the opening of the Atlantic trade route and the route to the Indian Ocean via the Cape of Good Hope , which bypassed the Mediterranean . Furthermore , the Italian city-states constantly engaged one another in bloody warfare , culminating in the Italian Wars of the 15th and 16th centuries that left them exhausted , with no one emerging as a dominant power . The weakened sovereigns soon fell victim to conquest by European powers such as France , Spain and Austria . By the mid-19th century , a rising movement in support of Italian nationalism and independence from foreign control led to a period of revolutionary political upheaval known as the Risorgimento , which sought the formation of a unified nation-state . After various unsuccessful attempts , the Italian Wars of Independence and the Expedition of the Thousand resulted in the eventual unification of the country in 1861 , now a great power after centuries of foreign domination and political division . From the late 19th century to the early 20th century , the new Kingdom of Italy rapidly industrialised , although mainly in the north , and acquired a colonial empire , while the south remained largely impoverished and excluded from industrialisation , fuelling a large and influential diaspora . Despite being one of the main victors in World War I , Italy entered a period of economic crisis and social turmoil , leading the way to the rise of a fascist dictatorship in 1922 . The subsequent participation in World War II on the Axis side ended in military defeat , economic destruction and an Italian civil war . Following the liberation of Italy and the rise of the resistance , the country abolished the monarchy , reinstated democracy , enjoyed a prolonged economic boom and , despite periods of sociopolitical turmoil ( e.g. Anni di piombo , Mani pulite , the Second Mafia War , the Maxi Trial and subsequent assassinations of anti-mafia officials ) , became a major developed country . Today , Italy has the third largest economy in the Eurozone and the eighth largest in the world . It has a very high level of human development and is ranked sixth in the world for life expectancy . The country plays a prominent role in regional and global economic , military , cultural and diplomatic affairs , and it is both a regional power and a great power . Italy is a founding and leading member of the European Union and the member of numerous international institutions , including the UN , NATO , the OECD , the OSCE , the WTO , the G7/G8 , G20 , the Union for the Mediterranean , the Council of Europe , Uniting for Consensus and many more . As a reflection of its cultural wealth , Italy is home to 51 World Heritage Sites , the most in the world , and is the fifth most visited country ."

" Fable Fable is a literary genre : a succinct fictional story , in prose or verse , that features animals , legendary creatures , plants , inanimate objects , or forces of nature that are anthropomorphized ( given human qualities , such as the ability to speak human language ) and that illustrates or leads to a particular moral lesson ( a `` moral '' ) , which may at the end be added explicitly as a pithy maxim . A fable differs from a parable in that the latter excludes animals , plants , inanimate objects , and forces of nature as actors that assume speech or other powers of humankind . Usage has not always been so clearly distinguished . In the King James Version of the New Testament , '' μῦθος '' ( `` mythos '' ) was rendered by the translators as `` fable '' in the First Epistle to Timothy , the Second Epistle to Timothy , the Epistle to Titus and the First Epistle of Peter . A person who writes fables is a fabulist .",

" Ecuador Ecuador ( -LSB- ˈɛkwədɔːr -RSB- , -LSB- ekwaˈðor -RSB- ) ( Ikwadur ) , officially the Republic of Ecuador ( -LSB- República del Ecuador , -RSB- , which literally translates as `` Republic of the Equator '' ; Ikwadur Ripuwlika ) , is a representative democratic republic in northwestern South America , bordered by Colombia on the north , Peru on the east and south , and the Pacific Ocean to the west . Ecuador also includes the Galápagos Islands in the Pacific , about 1000 km west of the mainland . What is now Ecuador was home to a variety of Amerindian groups that were gradually incorporated into the Inca Empire during the 15th century . The territory was colonized by Spain during the 16th century , achieving independence in 1820 as part of Gran Colombia , from which it emerged as its own sovereign state in 1830 . The legacy of both empires is reflected in Ecuador 's ethnically diverse population , with most of its 15.2 million people being mestizos , followed by large minorities of European , Amerindian , and African descendants . Spanish is the official language and is spoken by a majority of the population , though 13 Amerindian languages are also recognized , including Quichua and Shuar . The capital city is Quito , while the largest city is Guayaquil . In reflection of the country 's rich cultural heritage , the historical center of Quito was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978 . Cuenca , the third-largest city , was also declared a World Heritage Site in 1999 as an outstanding example of a planned , inland Spanish-style colonial city in the Americas . Ecuador has a developing economy that is highly dependent on commodities , namely petroleum and agricultural products . The country is classified as a medium-income country . Ecuador is a democratic presidential republic . The new constitution of 2008 is the first in the world to recognize legally enforceable Rights of Nature , or ecosystem rights . Ecuador is also known for its rich ecology , hosting many endemic plants and animals , such as those of the Galápagos Islands . It is one of 17 megadiverse countries in the world ."

" Latin Americans Latin Americans ( latinoamericanos , latino-americanos , ) are the citizens of the Latin American countries and dependencies . Latin American countries are multi-ethnic , home to people of different ethnic and national backgrounds . As a result , some Latin Americans do n't take their nationality as an ethnicity , but identify themselves with both their nationality and their ancestral origins . Aside from the indigenous Amerindian ( aka Native American ) population , all Latin Americans or their ancestors immigrated within the past five centuries . Latin America has the largest diasporas of Spaniards , Portuguese , Black Africans , Italians , Lebanese and Japanese in the world . The region also has large German ( second largest after the United States ) , French , Chinese and Jewish diasporas . The specific ethnic and/or racial composition varies from country to country : many have a predominance of European-Amerindian , or Mestizo , population ; in others , Amerindians are a majority ; some are mostly inhabited by people of European ancestry ; and others are primarily Mulatto . Various Black , Asian , and Zambo ( mixed Black and Amerindian ) minorities are also identified in most countries . White Latin Americans are the largest single group . Together with the people of part-European ancestry they combine for approximately 80 % of the population , or even more . Latin Americans and their descendants can be found almost everywhere in the world , particularly in densely populated urban areas . The most important migratory destinations for Latin Americans are found in the United States , Spain , Canada , and Japan .",
" Medellín Medellín ( -LSB- meðeˈʝin -RSB- ) , officially the Municipality of Medellín ( Municipio de Medellín ) , is the second-largest city in Colombia and the capital of the department of Antioquia . It is located in the Aburrá Valley , a central region of the Andes Mountains in South America . According to the National Administrative Department of Statistics , the city has an estimated population of 2.44 million . With its surrounding area that includes nine other cities , the metropolitan area of Medellín is the second-largest urban agglomeration in Colombia in terms of population and economy , with more than 3.7 million people . In 1616 the Spaniard Francisco Herrera Campuzano erected a small indigenous village ( `` poblado '' ) known as `` Saint Lawrence of Aburrá '' ( San Lorenzo de Aburrá ) , located in the present-day El Poblado commune . On 2 November 1675 , the queen consort Mariana of Austria founded the `` Town of Our Lady of Candelaria of Medellín '' ( Villa de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria de Medellín ) in the Aná region , which today corresponds to the center of the city ( east-central zone ) and first describes the region as `` Medellín '' . In 1826 , the city was named the capital of the Department of Antioquia by the National Congress of the nascent Republic of Gran Colombia , comprised by present-day Colombia , Venezuela , Ecuador and Panama . After Colombia won its independence from Spain , Medellín became the capital of the Federal State of Antioquia until 1888 , with the proclamation of the Colombian Constitution of 1886 . During the 19th century , Medellín was a dynamic commercial center , first exporting gold , then producing and exporting coffee . At the beginning of the 21st century the city regained industrial dynamism , with the construction of the Medellín Metro commuter rail , liberalized development policies , improved security and improved education . Researchers at the Overseas Development Institute have lauded the city as a pioneer of a post-Washington consensus `` local development state '' model of economic development . The city is promoted internationally as a tourist destination and is considered a global city type `` Gamma - '' by GaWC . The Medellín Metropolitan Area produces 67 % of the Department of Antioquia 's GDP and 11 % of the economy of Colombia . Medellín is important to the region for its universities , academies , commerce , industry , science , health services , flower-growing and festivals . In February 2013 , the Urban Land Institute chose Medellín as the most innovative city in the world due to its recent advances in politics , education and social development . In the same year , Medellín was announced as the preferred corporate business destination in South America , and won the Verónica Rudge Urbanism Award conferred by Harvard University to the Urban Development Enterprise , mainly due to the North-Western Integral Development Project in the city . In September 2013 , the United Nations ratified Colombia 's petition to host UN-Habitat 's 7th World Urban Forum in Medellín , from April 5 -- 11 , 2014 . The most recent survey on the global status of the Smart Cities by Indra Sistemas catalogs Medellín as one of the best cities to live in South America , sharing first place with Santiago de Chile , and alongside Barcelona and Lisbon in Europe . Medellín won the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize 2016 . The award seeks to recognize and celebrate efforts in furthering innovation in urban solutions and sustainable urban development ."

" Zombie A zombie ( Haitian French : zombi , Haitian Creole : zonbi ) is a fictional undead being created through the reanimation of a human corpse . Zombies are most commonly found in horror and fantasy genre works . The term comes from Haitian folklore , where a zombie is a dead body reanimated through various methods , most commonly magic . Modern depictions of zombies do not necessarily involve magic but often invoke science fictional methods such as carriers , radiation , mental diseases , vectors , viruses , scientific accidents , etc. . The English word `` zombie '' is first recorded in 1819 , in a history of Brazil by the poet Robert Southey , in the form of `` zombi '' . The Oxford English Dictionary gives the origin of the word as West African , and compares it to the Kongo words nzambi ( god ) and zumbi ( fetish ) . One of the first books to expose Western culture to the concept of the voodoo zombie was The Magic Island by W.B. Seabrook in 1929 . This is the sensationalized account of a narrator who encounters voodoo cults in Haiti and their resurrected thralls . Time claimed that the book `` introduced ` zombi ' into U.S. speech '' . Zombies have a complex literary heritage , with antecedents ranging from Richard Matheson and H. P. Lovecraft to Mary Shelley 's Frankenstein drawing on European folklore of the undead . In 1932 , Victor Halperin directed White Zombie , a horror film starring Bela Lugosi . Here zombies are depicted as mindless , unthinking henchmen under the spell of an evil magician . Zombies , often still using this voodoo-inspired rationale , were initially uncommon in cinema , but their appearances continued sporadically through the 1930s to the 1960s , with notable films including I Walked with a Zombie ( 1943 ) and Plan 9 from Outer Space ( 1959 ) . A new version of the zombie , distinct from that described in Haitian folklore , has also emerged in popular culture during the latter half of the twentieth century . This `` zombie '' is taken largely from George A. Romero 's seminal film Night of the Living Dead , which was in turn partly inspired by Richard Matheson 's 1954 novel I Am Legend . The word zombie is not used in Night of the Living Dead but was applied later by fans . The monsters in the film and its sequels , such as Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead , as well as its many inspired works , such as Return of the Living Dead and Zombi 2 , are usually hungry for human flesh , although Return of the Living Dead introduced the popular concept of zombies eating brains . The `` zombie apocalypse '' concept , in which the civilized world is brought low by a global zombie infestation , became a staple of modern popular art .",

" Scottish Parliament The Scottish Parliament ( Pàrlamaid na h-Alba Scots : The Scots Pairlament ) , is the devolved national , unicameral legislature of Scotland . Located in the Holyrood area of the capital city , Edinburgh , it is frequently referred to by the metonym Holyrood . The Parliament is a democratically elected body comprising 129 members known as Members of the Scottish Parliament ( MSPs ) , elected for four-year terms under the additional member system : 73 MSPs represent individual geographical constituencies elected by the plurality ( `` first past the post '' ) system , while a further 56 are returned from eight additional member regions , each electing seven MSPs . The most recent general election to the Parliament was held on 5 May 2016 , with the Scottish National Party winning a plurality . The original Parliament of Scotland ( or `` Estates of Scotland '' ) was the national legislature of the independent Kingdom of Scotland , and existed from the early 13th century until the Kingdom of Scotland merged with the Kingdom of England under the Acts of Union 1707 to form the Kingdom of Great Britain . As a consequence , both the Parliament of Scotland and the Parliament of England ceased to exist , and the Parliament of Great Britain , which sat at Westminster in London was formed . Following a referendum in 1997 , in which the Scottish electorate voted for devolution , the current Parliament was convened by the Scotland Act 1998 , which sets out its powers as a devolved legislature . The Act delineates the legislative competence of the Parliamentthe areas in which it can make lawsby explicitly specifying powers that are `` reserved '' to the Parliament of the United Kingdom . The Scottish Parliament has the power to legislate in all areas that are not explicitly reserved to Westminster . The British Parliament retains the ability to amend the terms of reference of the Scottish Parliament , and can extend or reduce the areas in which it can make laws . The first meeting of the new Parliament took place on 12 May 1999 .",
" Firth Firth is a word in the Scots and English languages used to denote various coastal waters in Scotland and England . In mainland Scotland , it is used to refer to a large sea bay , or even a strait . In the Northern Isles , it more usually refers to a smaller inlet . It is linguistically cognate to fjord ( both from Proto-Germanic * ferþuz ) which has a more constrained sense in English . Bodies of water named `` firths '' tend to be more common on the east coast , or in the southwest of the country , although the Firth of Lorn is an exception to this . The Highland coast contains numerous estuaries , straits , and inlets of a similar kind , but not called `` firth '' ( e.g. the Minch and Loch Torridon ) ; instead , these are often called sea lochs . A firth is generally the result of ice age glaciation and is very often associated with a large river , where erosion caused by the tidal effects of incoming sea water passing upriver has widened the riverbed into an estuary . Demarcation can be rather vague . The Firth of Clyde is sometimes thought to include the estuary as far upriver as Dumbarton , but the Ordnance Survey map shows the change from river to firth occurring off Port Glasgow , while locally the change is held to be at the Tail of the Bank where the river crosses a sandbar off Greenock at the junction to the Gare Loch , or even further west at Gourock point . However , some firths are exceptions . The Cromarty Firth on the east coast of Scotland , for example , resembles a large loch with only a relatively small outlet to the sea and the Solway Firth and the Moray Firth are more like extremely large bays . The Pentland Firth is a strait rather than a bay or an inlet ."

" Equity Library Theatre `` ELT '' Founded in 1943 by Sam Jaffe , representing Actors ' Equity , and George Freedley , at the time curator of the New York Public Library Theatre Collection , Equity Library Theatre , or ELT ( as it is often referred to ) , was designed to provide a showcase for young actors , directors , and technicians and to create an audience from among those who could not afford commercial theatre . A non‐profit organization , it originally presented its plays at libraries and charged no admission but asked instead for a contribution to help sustain it . Beginning in 1949 , it operated its own theatre , first at the Lenox Hill Playhouse and later at other auditoriums . Actors whose careers were helped by early appearances with the organization include James Earl Jones , Richard Kiley , and Jason Robards . Financial problems forced its closing during the 1989 -- 90 season . Since Equity Library Theater was established by Sam Jaffe of Actors ' Equity and George Freedley , the theater curator for the New York Public Library , some 12,000 actors , directors and stage technicians have worked for no pay in more than 600 company productions . The theater 's philosophy was to mount nonprofit productions to provide exposure for actors seeking paying roles in commercial shows . Because a substantial number did get paid acting jobs as a result of their appearances - about 60 percent , Mr. Wojtasik said - as many as 700 people show up to audition for each production . The long , illustrious list of actors who performed early in their careers at the ELT includes Jason Robards , Jean Stapleton , James Earl Jones , Sidney Poitier , Rod Steiger , Martin Balsam , John Cazale , Danny DeVito , Lee Grant , Richard Kiley and Tony Randall . Playwright and director Johnny Culver resurrected the name and ideals of ELT and provides new playwrights a chance to present their works in New York City library performance spaces , in a casual play festival format , at no cost to anyone . Many up and coming New York actors have performed with ELT . In 2014 , ELT produced a reading of David Garrick 's Catherine and Petruchio , a rarely performed 18th Century adaptation of Shakespeare 's Taming of the Shrew , as well as a presentation of short plays by John Ladd , and KK Gordon , at the NYPL George Bruce Theater . In 2015 , they presented a reading of short plays by writers from the Provincetown Playhouse and other early 20th century NYC writers , including OVERTONES by Alice Gerstenberg , as well as a new play by Pamela Robbins , and a staged reading of THE FATHER . The Village Light Opera Guild joined them for a musical cabaret in 2016 as a benefit . Their new play festival is now in its sixth year . ELT encourages writers and actors to pursue their craft in this space . ELT performs at the George Bruce Theater on West 125th street and at the Alvin Ailey auditorium on West 115th street , courtesy of the NYPL . To date , ELT has premiered more than 80 new plays by talented writers , many moving to success . In December 2016 , they presented `` Songs of my Father '' , short plays written by fathers of celebrated New York actors ( Kevin Schwab , Terri Matassov ) , and in early 2017 , a reading of a screenplay by Tom Meade . Their recent winter play festival drew over 200 guests at the new NYPL branch on West 53rd Street ELT is not associated with Actors Equity , but enjoys a fluid relationship with their many members and hopes their performances here will aid them in creative success . ELT also welcomes members of the Dramatists Guild to present their works , at no cost or responsibility to anyone . More at www.equitylibrarytheater.info",

They have worked with producer Nigel Godrich and cover artist Stanley Donwood since 1994 . After signing to EMI in 1991 , Radiohead released their debut single `` Creep '' in 1992 . It became a worldwide hit after the release of their debut album , Pablo Honey ( 1993 ) . Their popularity and critical standing rose in the United Kingdom with the release of their second album , The Bends ( 1995 ) . Radiohead 's third album , OK Computer ( 1997 ) , propelled them to international fame ; noted for its complex production and themes of modern alienation , it is often acclaimed as a landmark record of the 1990s and one of the best albums in popular music . The group 's next albums Kid A ( 2000 ) and Amnesiac ( 2001 ) , recorded simultaneously , marked a dramatic change in style , incorporating influences from experimental electronic music , 20th-century classical music , krautrock , and jazz . Despite initially dividing listeners , Kid A was later named the best album of the decade by Rolling Stone , Pitchfork and the Times . Radiohead 's sixth album , Hail to the Thief ( 2003 ) , mixed rock and electronic music with lyrics inspired by the War on Terror , and was the band 's final album for EMI . Their subsequent releases have pioneered alternative release platforms such as pay-what-you-want and BitTorrent . Radiohead self-released their seventh album , In Rainbows ( 2007 ) , as a download for which customers could set their own price , to critical and chart success . Their eighth album , The King of Limbs ( 2011 ) , an exploration of rhythm , was developed using extensive looping and sampling . Their ninth album , A Moon Shaped Pool ( 2016 ) , prominently featured Jonny Greenwood 's orchestral arrangements . Radiohead have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide . Their work places highly in both listener polls and critics ' lists of the best music of the 1990s and 2000s . In 2005 , they were ranked 73rd in Rolling Stone 's list of `` The Greatest Artists of All Time '' ; Jonny Greenwood ( 48th ) and O'Brien ( 59th ) were both included in Rolling Stones list of greatest guitarists , and Yorke ( 66th ) in their list of greatest singers .

" True Love Waits (song) `` True Love Waits '' is a song by the English alternative rock band Radiohead . Its lyrics address love , ageing , and abandonment . Radiohead first performed `` True Love Waits '' in 1995 , and singer Thom Yorke performed it alone on acoustic guitar or Rhodes piano numerous times in the following years . The band and their producer Nigel Godrich attempted to record it for their albums OK Computer ( 1997 ) , Kid A ( 2000 ) and Amnesiac ( 2001 ) , but struggled to find an arrangement that satisfied them , and it became one of their most famous unreleased songs . A live recording from the Amnesiac tour was released on I Might Be Wrong : Live Recordings ( 2001 ) . In 2016 , a studio version of `` True Love Waits '' was finally released as the closing track on Radiohead 's ninth album , A Moon Shaped Pool , rearranged as a minimal piano ballad . Both versions of the song received positive reviews , and several critics felt the long wait made the studio version more powerful . Though it was not released as a single , `` True Love Waits '' entered the French SNEP and US Billboard Hot Rock Songs singles chart , peaking at 181 and 43 respectively .",
" The Rolling Stones The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962 . The original line-up consisted of Brian Jones ( rhythm guitar , harmonica ) , Mick Jagger ( lead vocals ) , Keith Richards ( lead guitar , backing vocals ) , Bill Wyman ( bass ) , Charlie Watts ( drums ) , and Ian Stewart ( piano ) . Stewart was removed from the official line-up in 1963 but continued as a touring member until his death in 1985 . Jones left the band less than a month prior to his death in 1969 , having already been replaced by Mick Taylor , who remained until 1974 . After Taylor left the band , Ronnie Wood took his place in 1975 and has been on guitar in tandem with Richards ever since . Following Wyman 's departure in 1993 , Darryl Jones joined as their touring bassist . Other touring keyboardists for the band have been Nicky Hopkins ( 1967 -- 82 ) , Billy Preston ( through the mid-1970s ) and Chuck Leavell ( 1982-present ) . The band was first led by Jones , but after teaming as the band 's songwriters , Jagger and Richards assumed leadership while Jones dealt with legal and personal troubles . The Rolling Stones were at the forefront of the British Invasion of bands that became popular in the US in 1964 , and identified with the youthful and rebellious counterculture of the 1960s . Rooted in blues and early rock and roll , the group began a short period of musical experimentation in the mid-1960s that peaked with the psychedelic album Their Satanic Majesties Request ( 1967 ) . Subsequently , the group returned to its `` bluesy '' roots with Beggars Banquet ( 1968 ) which along with its follow-ups Let It Bleed ( 1969 ) , Sticky Fingers ( 1971 ) and Exile on Main St. ( 1972 ) is generally considered to be the band 's best work and is seen as their `` Golden Age '' . During this period , they were first introduced on stage as `` The World 's Greatest Rock and Roll Band '' . Musicologist Robert Palmer attributed the `` remarkable endurance '' of the Rolling Stones to being `` rooted in traditional verities , in rhythm-and-blues and soul music '' , while `` more ephemeral pop fashions have come and gone '' . The band continued to release commercially successful records in the 1970s and sold many albums , including Some Girls ( 1978 ) and Tattoo You ( 1981 ) , which were their most popular albums worldwide . From 1983 to 1987 , tensions between Jagger and Richards almost caused the band to split . However , they managed to patch up their friendship in 1987 . They separated temporarily to work on solo projects and experienced a comeback with Steel Wheels ( 1989 ) , which was followed by a large stadium and arena tour . Since the 1990s , new recorded material from the group has been less well-received and less frequent . Despite this , the Rolling Stones have continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit , with stadium tours in the 1990s and 2000s . By 2007 , the band had four of the top five highest-grossing concert tours of all time : Voodoo Lounge Tour ( 1994 -- 95 ) , Bridges to Babylon Tour ( 1997 -- 98 ) , Licks Tour ( 2002 -- 03 ) and A Bigger Bang Tour ( 2005 -- 07 ) . The Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004 . Rolling Stone magazine ranked them fourth on the `` 100 Greatest Artists of All Time '' list and their estimated album sales are above 250 million . They have released 30 studio albums , 18 live albums and numerous compilations . Let It Bleed ( 1969 ) was their first of five consecutive No. 1 studio and live albums in the UK . Sticky Fingers ( 1971 ) was the first of eight consecutive No. 1 studio albums in the US . In 2008 , the band ranked 10th on the Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists chart . In 2012 , the band celebrated its 50th anniversary ."

Venom was originally conceived as a superhero.
|
[
" Venom (comics) Venom , or the Venom Symbiote , is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics , commonly in association with Spider-Man . Venom made his first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man # 300 ( May 1988 ) . Venom was originally conceived as a supervillain , but has since become more of an antihero . Venom is a Symbiote , a sentient alien , with a gooey , almost liquid-like form . As with real-world symbiotes , it requires a host , usually human , to bond with for its survival . After bonding , the Symbiote endows its enhanced powers upon the host . When the Venom Symbiote bonds with a human , that new dual-life form refers to itself as `` Venom '' . The Venom Symbiote 's first known host was Spider-Man , who eventually separated himself from the creature when he discovered its true nature . The Symbiote went on to merge with other hosts , most notably Eddie Brock , its second and most infamous host , with whom it first became Venom and one of Spider-Man 's archenemies . According to S.H.I.E.L.D. , it is considered one of the greatest threats to humanity , alongside Magneto , Doctor Doom , and Red Skull . Comics journalist and historian Mike Conroy writes of the character : `` What started out as a replacement costume for Spider-Man turned into one of the Marvel web-slinger 's greatest nightmares . '' Venom was ranked as the 22nd Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time in IGN 's list of the top 100 comic villains . IGN also ranked Mac Gargan 's incarnation of Venom as # 17 in their list of `` The Top 50 Avengers '' , while the Flash Thompson incarnation was ranked as # 27 . The character was listed as # 33 on Empire Magazines 50 Greatest Comic Book Characters ."

" Superman Superman is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics . The character was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster , high school students living in Cleveland , Ohio , in 1933 . They sold Superman to Detective Comics , the future DC Comics , in 1938 . Superman debuted in Action Comics # 1 ( cover-dated June 1938 ) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials , newspaper strips , television programs , films , and video games . With this success , Superman helped to create the superhero archetype and establish its primacy within the American comic book . The character is also referred to by such epithets as the Big Blue Boy Scout , the Man of Steel , the Man of Tomorrow , and the Last Son of Krypton . The origin story of Superman relates that he was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton , before being rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father Jor-El , moments before Krypton 's destruction . Discovered and adopted by a Kansas farm couple , the child is raised as Clark Kent and imbued with a strong moral compass . Very early on he started to display various superhuman abilities , which , upon reaching maturity , he resolved to use for the benefit of humanity through a `` Superman '' identity . Superman resides and operates in the fictional American city of Metropolis . As Clark Kent , he is a journalist for the Daily Planet , a Metropolis newspaper . Superman 's love interest is generally Lois Lane , and his archenemy is the supervillain Lex Luthor . A close ally of Batman and Wonder Woman , he is typically depicted as a member of the Justice League . Like other characters in the DC Universe , several alternate versions of Superman have been characterized over the years . Superman 's appearance is distinctive and iconic ; he usually wears a blue costume with a red-and-yellow emblem on the chest , consisting of the letter S in a shield shape , and a red cape . This shield is used in many media to symbolize the character . Superman is widely considered an American cultural icon . He has fascinated scholars , with cultural theorists , commentators , and critics alike exploring the character 's role and impact in the United States and worldwide . The character 's ownership has often been the subject of dispute , with Siegel and Shuster twice suing for the return of rights . The character has been adapted extensively and portrayed in other forms of media as well , including films , television series , and video games . Several actors have portrayed Superman in motion pictures and TV series including Kirk Alyn , George Reeves , Christopher Reeve , Dean Cain , Tom Welling , Brandon Routh , Henry Cavill , and Tyler Hoechlin .",

" A Walk to Remember A Walk to Remember is a 2002 American coming-of-age romantic drama film directed by Adam Shankman and written by Karen Janszen , based on Nicholas Sparks ' 1999 novel of the same name .

" Baron West Baron West is a title created in the Peerage of England in 1402 . The title has been in abeyance since 1554 , although it is possible to argue that it has been merged . The First Lord West was Sir Thomas West , of Oakhanger , Northampton . He married the heiress Joan De la Warr , through whom his second son eventually became Baron De La Warr . The two titles descended in tandem until the death of Thomas West , 6th Lord West and 9th Lord De la Warr . At this point , the precise legal situation becomes debatable . As Cokayne points out , abeyance is a modern rule that approximates medieval practice , rather than a period doctrine . Applying the modern rule , both titles descend to heirs general , which left them in abeyance between the daughters of Sir Owen West , and this situation persists to the present day with their respective heirs . In 1572 , the heir male and nephew of the co-heirs general was created Baron De la Warr , but not Baron West , by letters patent . Depending on one 's view of the law , this can interpreted as either a settlement of the ancient Barony of De la Warr or a genuine new creation that extinguished the old barony . Cokayne argues that there is no reason to assume that this changed the status of the West title , but given the irregular practice used , it is just conceivable that a modern claimant to West would be refused on the basis that the title was merged into De la Warr along with the estates . Some genealogical sources claim that Sir Thomas West of Hampton Cantilupe ( 1251 -- 1344 ) was summoned to Parliament and became Lord West in 1342 , but this is not supported by Cokayne ."

" Popular music Popular music is music with wide appeal that is typically distributed to large audiences through the music industry . These forms and styles can be enjoyed and performed by people with little or no musical training . It stands in contrast to both art music and traditional or `` folk '' music . Art music was historically disseminated through the performances of written music , although since the beginning of the recording industry , it is also disseminated through recordings . Traditional music forms such as early blues songs or hymns were passed along orally , or to smaller , local audiences . The original application of the term is to music of the 1880s Tin Pan Alley period in the United States . Although popular music sometimes is known as `` pop music '' , the two terms are not interchangeable . Popular music is a generic term for a wide variety of genres of music that appeal to the tastes of a large segment of the population , whereas pop music usually refers to a specific musical genre within popular music . Popular music songs and pieces typically have easily singable melodies . The song structure of popular music commonly involves repetition of sections , with the verse and chorus or refrain repeating throughout the song and the bridge providing a contrasting and transitional section within a piece . In the 2000s , with songs and pieces available as digital sound files , it has become easier for music to spread from one country or region to another . Some popular music forms have become global , while others have a wide appeal within the culture of their origin . Through the mixture of musical genres , new popular music forms are created to reflect the ideals of a global culture . The examples of Africa , Indonesia , and the Middle East show how Western pop music styles can blend with local musical traditions to create new hybrid styles .",

" Cameo lighting Cameo lighting in film is a spotlight that accentuates a single person and maybe a few props in a scene . It creates an ` angelic ' shot , such as one where God is shining down and a light shines down onto this person . Cameo lighting derives its name from the art form in which a light relief figure is set against a darker background . It is often achieved by using barn-doored spotlights . It helps focus on the subject and not its environment . A problem with cameo lighting is that it can lead to color distortion and noise in the darkest areas ."

" Bing Crosby Harry Lillis `` Bing '' Crosby Jr. ( May 3 , 1903 -- October 14 , 1977 ) was an American singer and actor . Crosby 's trademark warm bass-baritone voice made him the best-selling recording artist of the 20th century , having sold over one billion records , tapes , compact discs and digital downloads around the world . The first multimedia star , from 1931 to 1954 Crosby was a leader in record sales , radio ratings , and motion picture grosses . His early career coincided with technical recording innovations such as the microphone . This allowed him to develop a laid-back , intimate singing style that influenced many of the popular male singers who followed him , including Perry Como , Frank Sinatra , Dick Haymes , and Dean Martin . Yank magazine said that he was the person who had done the most for American soldiers ' morale during World War II . In 1948 , American polls declared him the `` most admired man alive '' , ahead of Jackie Robinson and Pope Pius XII . Also in 1948 , Music Digest estimated that his recordings filled more than half of the 80,000 weekly hours allocated to recorded radio music .

Crosby influenced the development of the postwar recording industry . He became the first performer to pre-record his radio shows and master his commercial recordings onto magnetic tape . Through the medium of recording , he constructed his radio programs with the same directorial tools and craftsmanship ( editing , retaking , rehearsal , time shifting ) used in motion picture production , a practice that became an industry standard . In addition to his work with early tape recording , he helped to finance the development of videotape , bought television stations , bred racehorses , and co-owned the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team .

The film reboots the Batman film series , telling the origin story of the title character ( Bale ) , from his alter ego Bruce Wayne 's initial fear of bats , the death of his parents , his journey to become Batman , and his fight to stop Ra 's al Ghul ( Neeson ) and the Scarecrow ( Murphy ) from plunging Gotham City into chaos .

After a series of unsuccessful projects to resurrect Batman on screen following the critical failure and box office disappointment of Batman & Robin ( 1997 ) , Nolan and David S.

The goal was to get the audience to care for both Batman and Bruce Wayne . The film , which was primarily shot in Iceland and Chicago , relied on traditional stunts and miniatures , while computer-generated imagery was used minimally .

" Marie Antoinette Marie Antoinette ( -LSB- ˈmæriˌæntwəˈnɛt -RSB- , -LSB- ˌɑ̃ːntwə - -RSB- , -LSB- ˌɑ̃ːtwə - -RSB- , -LSB- məˈriː - -RSB- -LSB- maʁi ɑ̃twanɛt -RSB- ; born Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna ( 2 November 1755 -- 16 October 1793 ) was the last Queen of France and Navarre before the French Revolution . She was born an Archduchess of Austria , and was the fifteenth and second youngest child of Empress Maria Theresa and Francis I , Holy Roman Emperor . In April 1770 , upon her marriage to Louis-Auguste , heir apparent to the French throne , she became Dauphine of France . On 10 May 1774 , when her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVI , she became Queen of France and Navarre , a title she held until September 1791 , when , as the French Revolution proceeded , she became Queen of the French , a title she held until 21 September 1792 . After eight years of marriage , Marie Antoinette gave birth to a daughter , Marie-Thérèse Charlotte , the first of her four children . Despite her initial popularity , a growing number of the population eventually came to dislike her , accusing her of being profligate , promiscuous , and of harbouring sympathies for France 's enemies , particularly her native Austria . The Diamond Necklace affair damaged her reputation further . During the Revolution , she became known as Madame Déficit because the country 's financial crisis was blamed on her lavish spending and her opposition to the social and financial reforms of Turgot and Necker . During the Revolution , after the government had placed the royal family under house arrest in the Tuileries Palace in October 1789 , several events linked to Marie Antoinette , in particular the June 1791 attempted flight to Varennes and her role in the War of the First Coalition , had disastrous effects on French popular opinion . On 10 August 1792 , the attack on the Tuileries forced the royal family to take refuge at the Assembly , and on 13 August the family was imprisoned in the Temple . On 21 September 1792 , the monarchy was abolished . After a two-day trial begun on 14 October 1793 , Marie Antoinette was convicted by the Revolutionary Tribunal of high treason and executed by guillotine on the Place de la Révolution on 16 October 1793 ."

As the heir apparent to the French throne , he was styled Dauphin . He became known as Le Grand Dauphin after the birth of his own son , Le Petit Dauphin . As he died before his father , he never became king .",
" King-Emperor A king-emperor , the female equivalent being queen-empress , is a sovereign ruler who is simultaneously a king of one territory and emperor of another . This title usually results from a merger of a royal and imperial crown ( as in Austria-Hungary ) , but recognises that the two territories are different politically or culturally and in status ( emperor being a higher rank than king ) . It also denotes a king 's imperial status through the acquisition of an empire or vice versa . The dual title signifies a sovereign 's dual role , but may also be created to improve a ruler 's prestige . Both cases , however , show that the merging of rule was not simply a case of annexation where one state is swallowed by another , but rather of unification and almost equal status , though in the case of the British monarchy the suggestion that an emperor is higher in rank than a king was avoided by creating the title `` king-emperor '' ( `` queen-empress '' ) instead of `` emperor-king '' ( `` empress-queen '' ) ."

Portugal is a state.

" Portugal Portugal ( Portuguese : -LSB- puɾtuˈɣaɫ -RSB- ) , officially the Portuguese Republic ( -LSB- República Portuguesa , links = no -RSB- ) ( Portuguese : -LSB- ʁɨ ` publikɐ puɾtu ' ɣezɐ -RSB- ) In recognized minority languages of Portugal : República Pertuesa is a sovereign state located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe . It is the westernmost country of mainland Europe . To the west and south it is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and to the east and north by Spain . The Portugal -- Spain border is 1214 km long and considered the longest uninterrupted border within the European Union . The republic also includes the Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira , both autonomous regions with their own regional governments . The territory of modern Portugal has been continuously settled , invaded and fought over since prehistoric times . The Pre-Celts , Celts , Carthaginians and Romans were followed by the invasions of the Visigothic and the Suebi Germanic peoples . Portugal as a country was born in the aftermath of the Christian Reconquista against the Moors who had invaded the Iberian Peninsula in 711 AD and occupied most of it ever since . Precipitated by the seminal event for its foundation , the Battle of São Mamede , where Portuguese forces led by Afonso Henriques defeated forces led by his mother Theresa of Portugal and her lover Fernão Peres de Trava , which established the nation 's sovereignty against rival neighbor kingdoms . Following São Mamede , the future king styled himself Prince of Portugal . He would be proclaimed King of Portugal in the Battle of Ourique in 1139 and was recognised as such by neighbouring kingdoms in 1143 . In the 15th and 16th centuries , Portugal established the first global empire , becoming one of the world 's major economic , political and military powers . During this time , Portuguese explorers pioneered maritime exploration in the Age of Discovery , notably under royal patronage of Prince Henry the Navigator and King João II , with such notable discoveries as Bartolomeu Dias 's reach of the Cape of Good Hope ( 1488 ) , the Vasco da Gama 's sea route to India ( 1497 -- 98 ) and the discovery of Brazil ( 1500 ) . Portugal monopolized the spice trade during this time , and the Portuguese Empire expanded with military campaigns led in Asia . But the destruction of Lisbon in a 1755 earthquake , the country 's occupation during the Napoleonic Wars , the independence of Brazil ( 1822 ) , and the Liberal Wars ( 1828 -- 34 ) , all left Portugal crippled from war and diminished in its world power . After the 1910 revolution deposed the monarchy , the democratic but unstable Portuguese First Republic was established , later being superseded by the Estado Novo right-wing authoritarian regime . Democracy was restored after the Portuguese Colonial War and the Carnation Revolution in 1974 . Shortly after , independence was granted to almost all its overseas territories . The handover of Macau to China in 1999 marked the end of the longest-lived colonial empire . Portugal has left a profound cultural and architectural influence across the globe and a legacy of over 250 million Portuguese speakers today . Portugal is a developed country with a high-income advanced economy and a high living standard . It is the 5th most peaceful country in the world , maintaining a unitary semi-presidential republican form of government . It has the 18th highest Social Progress in the world , putting it ahead of other Western European countries like France , Spain and Italy . A founding member of NATO and the Community of Portuguese Language Countries , it is also a member of numerous other international organizations , including the United Nations , the European Union , the eurozone , and the OECD . Portugal is a pioneer when it comes to drug decriminalization , as the nation decriminalized the possession of all drugs for personal use in 2001 . LGBT rights in Portugal have improved substantially in the past two decades and are now among the best in the world . Moreover , after years of investment and cooperation , Portugal marked a climax on renewable energy worldwide in 2016 , when it was powered for 107 consecutive hours exclusively by wind , sun , and water , which advocates say further shows fossil fuels are indeed replaceable ."

" Nation state A nation state is a type of state that joins the political entity of a state to the cultural entity of a nation , from which it aims to derive its political legitimacy to rule and potentially its status as a sovereign state . A state is specifically a political and geopolitical entity , whilst a nation is a cultural and ethnic one . The term `` nation state '' implies that the two coincide , in that a state has chosen to adopt and endorse a specific cultural group as associated with it . The concept of a nation state can be compared and contrasted with that of the multinational state , city state , empire , confederation , and other state formations with which it may overlap . The key distinction is the identification of a people with a polity in the `` nation state '' .",
" Federation A federation ( also known as a federal state ) is a political entity characterized by a union of partially self-governing states or regions under a central ( federal ) government . In a federation , the self-governing status of the component states , as well as the division of power between them and the central government , is typically constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of either party , the states or the federal political body . Alternatively , federation is a form of government in which sovereign power is formally divided between a central authority and a number of constituent regions so that each region retains some degree of control over its internal affairs . The governmental or constitutional structure found in a federation is known as federalism . It can be considered the opposite of another system , the unitary state . Germany , with 16 Bundesländer , is an example of a federation , whereas neighboring Austria and its Bundesländer was a unitary state with administrative divisions that became federated , and neighboring France , by contrast , has always been unitary . Federations are often multiethnic and cover a large area of territory ( such as Russia , the United States , India , or Brazil ) , but neither is necessarily the case . The initial agreements create a stability that encourages other common interests , reduces differences between the disparate territories , and gives them all even more common ground . At some time , that is recognized and a movement is organized to merge more closely . At other times , especially when common cultural factors are at play such as ethnicity and language , some of the steps in this pattern are expedited and compressed . Several ancient chiefdoms and kingdoms , such as the 4th-century BC League of Corinth , Noricum in Central Europe , and the Haudenosaunee Confederation in pre-Columbian North America , could be described as federations or confederations . The Old Swiss Confederacy was an early example of formal non-unitary statehood . Several colonies and dominions in the New World consisted of autonomous provinces , transformed to federal states upon independence ( see Spanish American wars of independence ) . The oldest continuous federation , and a role model for many subsequent federations , is the United States . Some of the New World federations failed ; the Federal Republic of Central America broke up into independent states ten years after its founding . Others , such as Argentina and Mexico , have shifted between federal , confederal , and unitary systems , before settling into federalism . Brazil became a federation only after the fall of the monarchy ( see States of Brazil ) , and Venezuela became a federation after the Federal War . Australia and Canada are also federations . Germany is another nation-state that has switched between confederal , federal and unitary rules , since the German Confederation was founded in 1815 . The North German Confederation , the succeeding German Empire and the Weimar Republic were federations . Founded in 1922 , the Soviet Union was formally a federation of Soviet Republics , Autonomous republics of the Soviet Union and other federal subjects , though in practice highly centralized under the Government of the Soviet Union . The Russian Federation has inherited a similar system . Nigeria , Pakistan , India and Malaysia became federations on or shortly before becoming independent from the British Empire . In some recent cases , federations have been instituted as a measure to handle ethnic conflict within a state , such as Bosnia and Herzegovina , and Iraq since 2005 ."

[
" Neil Young Neil Percival Young , ( born November 12 , 1945 ) , is a Canadian singer-songwriter , musician , producer , director and screenwriter . Young began performing in a group covering Shadows instrumentals in Canada in 1960 . In 1966 , after a brief stint with the Rick James-fronted Mynah Birds , he moved to Los Angeles , where he formed Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills , Richie Furay and others . Young had released two solo albums by the time he joined Crosby , Stills & Nash in 1969 , in addition to two as a member of Buffalo Springfield . From his early solo albums and those with his backing band Crazy Horse , Young has recorded a steady stream of studio and live albums , sometimes warring with his recording company along the way . Young 's often distorted electric guitar work , deeply personal lyrics and signature tenor singing voice transcend his long career . Young also plays piano and harmonica on many albums which frequently combine folk , rock , blues and other musical styles . Known to rip up live set lists , Young often plays acoustic versions of songs in one show and electric versions in others . His gritty guitar work , especially with Crazy Horse , earned him the nickname `` Godfather of Grunge '' and led to his 1995 album Mirror Ball with Pearl Jam . More recently Young has been backed by Promise of the Real . Young directed ( or co-directed ) films using the pseudonym Bernard Shakey , including Journey Through the Past ( 1973 ) , Rust Never Sleeps ( 1979 ) , Human Highway ( 1982 ) , Greendale ( 2003 ) , and CSNY/D éjà Vu ( 2008 ) . He also contributed to the soundtracks of the films Philadelphia ( 1993 ) and Dead Man ( 1995 ) . Young has received several Grammy and Juno awards . The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducted him twice : as a solo artist in 1995 and in 1997 as a member of Buffalo Springfield . In 2000 , Rolling Stone named Young the 34th greatest rock 'n roll artist . He has lived in California since the 1960s but retains Canadian citizenship . He was awarded the Order of Manitoba on July 14 , 2006 , and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada on December 30 , 2009 .",
" Buffalo Springfield Buffalo Springfield was an American-Canadian rock band , formed in Los Angeles in 1966 . Their original lineup included Stephen Stills ( guitar , keyboards , vocals ) , Dewey Martin ( drums , vocals ) , Bruce Palmer ( electric bass ) , Richie Furay ( guitar , vocals ) , and Neil Young ( guitar , harmonica , piano , vocals ) . Pioneering the folk rock genre , Buffalo Springfield , along with the Byrds , combined elements of folk and country music with British invasion influences into their early works . Their second studio album , Buffalo Springfield Again , marked their progression to psychedelia and hard rock . With a name taken from a steamroller , the group signed to Atlantic Records in 1966 and released their debut single `` Nowadays Clancy Ca n't Even Sing '' - a regional hit in Los Angeles . The following January , the group released the protest song they were most prominently known for , `` For What It 's Worth '' . After various drug-related arrests and line-up changes , the group decided to break up in 1968 . Stephen Stills went on to form the folk rock supergroup Crosby , Stills & Nash with David Crosby of the Byrds and Graham Nash of the Hollies . Neil Young had launched his successful solo career and reunited with Stills in Crosby , Stills , Nash & Young in 1969 . Furay , along with Jim Messina , went on to form the influential country-rock band Poco . The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 ."

" Backup band A backing band or backup band is a musical ensemble that accompanies a lead singer at a live performance or on a recording . A backup band can also accompany an instrumental soloist , such as a lead guitarist or solo fiddler , though all-instrumental performances , with no singing , are not common in popular music and traditional music . This can either be an established , long-standing group that has little or no change in membership , or it may be an ad hoc group assembled for a single show or a single recording . Ad hoc or `` pickup '' groups are often made up of session musicians .",
" Sextet A sextet ( or hexad ) is a formation containing exactly six members . It is commonly associated with vocal ensembles ( e.g. . The King 's Singers , Affabre Concinui ) or musical instrument groups , but can be applied to any situation where six similar or related objects are considered a single unit . Many musical compositions are named for the number of musicians for which they are written . If a piece is written for six performers , it may be called a `` sextet '' . Steve Reich 's `` Sextet '' is written for six percussionists . In jazz music a sextet is any group of six players , usually containing a drum set ( bass drum , snare drum , hi-hat , ride cymbal ) , string bass or electric bass , piano , and various combinations of the following or other instruments : guitar , trumpet , saxophone , clarinet , trombone . In heavy metal and rock music , a sextet typically contains , but is not restricted to , a lead vocalist , two guitarists , a bassist , drummer , and keyboardist ."

" League of Nations mandate A League of Nations mandate was a legal status for certain territories transferred from the control of one country to another following World War I , or the legal instruments that contained the internationally agreed-upon terms for administering the territory on behalf of the League of Nations . These were of the nature of both a treaty and a constitution , which contained minority rights clauses that provided for the rights of petition and adjudication by the International Court . The mandate system was established under Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations , entered into on 28 June 1919 . With the dissolution of the League of Nations after World War II , it was stipulated at the Yalta Conference that the remaining Mandates should be placed under the trusteeship of the United Nations , subject to future discussions and formal agreements . Most of the remaining mandates of the League of Nations ( with the exception of South-West Africa ) thus eventually became United Nations Trust Territories . Two governing principles formed the core of the Mandate System , being non-annexation of the territory and its administration as a `` sacred trust of civilisation '' to develop the territory for the benefit of its native people .",

One example of a staple food are a type of fruit.
|
[
" Staple food A staple food , or simply a staple , is a food that is eaten routinely and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for a given people , supplying a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well . The staple food of a specific society may be eaten as often as every day or every meal , and most people live on a diet based on just a small number of staples . Staple foods vary from place to place , but typically they are inexpensive or readily-available foods that supply one or more of the three organic macronutrients needed for survival and health : carbohydrates , proteins , and fats . Typical examples of staples include tubers and roots ; and grains , legumes , and other seeds . Early agricultural civilizations valued the foods that they established as staples because , in addition to providing necessary nutrition , they generally are suitable for storage over long periods of time without decay . Such nonperishable foods are the only possible staples during seasons of shortage , such as dry seasons or cold temperate winters , against which times harvests have been stored . During seasons of plenty , wider choices of foods may be available . Main staple foods are derived either from vegetals and animal products , including cereals ( such as rice , wheat , maize , millet , or sorghum ) , starchy tubers or root vegetables ( such as potatoes , cassava , yams , or taro ) , meat , fish , eggs , milk , and cheese . Other staple foods include pulses ( dried legumes ) , sago ( derived from the pith of the sago palm tree ) , and fruits ( such as breadfruit and plantains ) . Staple foods may also contain ( depending on the region ) : olive oil , coconut oil and sugar ( e.g. from plantains ) ."

" Banana The banana is an edible fruit -- botanically a berry -- produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa . In some countries , bananas used for cooking may be called plantains , in contrast to dessert bananas . The fruit is variable in size , color and firmness , but is usually elongated and curved , with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a rind which may be green , yellow , red , purple , or brown when ripe . The fruits grow in clusters hanging from the top of the plant . Almost all modern edible parthenocarpic ( seedless ) bananas come from two wild species -- Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana . The scientific names of most cultivated bananas are Musa acuminata , Musa balbisiana , and Musa × paradisiaca for the hybrid Musa acuminata × M. balbisiana , depending on their genomic constitution . The old scientific name Musa sapientum is no longer used . Musa species are native to tropical Indomalaya and Australia , and are likely to have been first domesticated in Papua New Guinea . They are grown in 135 countries , primarily for their fruit , and to a lesser extent to make fiber , banana wine and banana beer and as ornamental plants . Worldwide , there is no sharp distinction between `` bananas '' and `` plantains '' . Especially in the Americas and Europe , `` banana '' usually refers to soft , sweet , dessert bananas , particularly those of the Cavendish group , which are the main exports from banana-growing countries . By contrast , Musa cultivars with firmer , starchier fruit are called `` plantains '' . In other regions , such as Southeast Asia , many more kinds of banana are grown and eaten , so the simple two-fold distinction is not useful and is not made in local languages . The term `` banana '' is also used as the common name for the plants which produce the fruit . This can extend to other members of the genus Musa like the scarlet banana ( Musa coccinea ) , pink banana ( Musa velutina ) and the Fe'i bananas . It can also refer to members of the genus Ensete , like the snow banana ( Ensete glaucum ) and the economically important false banana ( Ensete ventricosum ) . Both genera are classified under the banana family , Musaceae .",
" Bread Bread is a staple food prepared from a dough of flour and water , usually by baking . Throughout recorded history it has been popular around the world and is one of the oldest artificial foods , having been of importance since the dawn of agriculture . Proportions of types of flour and other ingredients vary widely , as do modes of preparation . As a result , types , shapes , sizes , and textures of breads differ around the world . Bread may be leavened by processes such as reliance on naturally occurring sourdough microbes , chemicals , industrially produced yeast , or high-pressure aeration . Some bread is cooked before it can leaven , including for traditional or religious reasons . Non-cereal ingredients such as fruits , nuts and fats may be included . Commercial bread commonly contains additives to improve flavor , texture , color , shelf life , and ease of manufacturing . Bread is served in various forms with any meal of the day . It is eaten as a snack , and used as an ingredient in other culinary preparations , such as sandwiches , and fried items coated in bread crumbs to prevent sticking . It forms the bland main component of bread pudding , as well as of stuffings designed to fill cavities or retain juices that otherwise might drip out . Bread has a social and emotional significance beyond its importance as nourishment . It plays essential roles in religious rituals and secular culture . Its prominence in daily life is reflected in language , where it appears in proverbs , colloquial expressions ( `` He stole the bread from my mouth '' ) , in prayer ( `` Give us this day our daily bread '' ) and in the etymology of words , such as `` companion '' ( from Latin com `` with '' + panis `` bread '' ) ."

" Guyana Guyana ( pronounced -LSB- ɡaɪˈɑːnə -RSB- or -LSB- ɡaɪˈænə -RSB- ) , officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana , is a sovereign state on the northern mainland of South America . It is , however , included in the Caribbean Region due to its strong cultural , historical , and political ties with other Anglo Caribbean countries and the Caribbean Community ( CARICOM ) . Guyana is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north , Brazil to the south and southwest , Suriname to the east and Venezuela to the west . With 215000 sqkm , Guyana is the fourth-smallest country on mainland South America after Uruguay , Suriname and French Guiana ( an overseas region of France ) . The region known as `` the Guianas '' consists of the large shield landmass north of the Amazon River and east of the Orinoco River known as the `` land of many waters '' . Originally inhabited by several indigenous groups , Guyana was settled by the Dutch before coming under British control in the late 18th century . It was governed as British Guiana , with mostly a plantation style economy until the 1950s . It gained independence in 1966 , and officially became a republic within the Commonwealth of Nations in 1970 . The legacy of British rule is reflected in the country 's political administration and diverse population , which includes Indian , African , Amerindian , and multiracial groups . Guyana is the only South American nation in which English is the official language . The majority of the population , however , speak Guyanese Creole , an English-based creole language , as a first language .

" Academy Award for Best Sound Editing The Academy Award for Best Sound Editing is an Academy Award granted yearly to a film exhibiting the finest or most aesthetic sound design or sound editing . Sound editing is the creation of sound effects ( such as foley ) . The award is usually received by the Supervising Sound Editors of the film , perhaps accompanied by the Sound Designers . The sound branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ( AMPAS ) , until 2006 would use a `` bake-off '' of the best films from the previous year to decide which films should be referred to the full Academy as nominations for the award . In a rule change on June 30 , 2006 , the bake-off for the Sound Branch was eliminated , and the usual process of a `` preferential ballot '' submission was instituted . During certain years , the highest award given for this category may be a `` Special Achievement Award '' , not an Oscar . Academy rules require that a minimum number of films must be nominated in a category for an Academy Award to be granted ; when the number of qualifying nominees is insufficient , a Special Achievement Award is granted instead . This is a list of films that have won or been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Sound Effects ( 1963 -- 67 , 1975 ) , Sound Effects Editing ( 1977 , 1981 -- 99 ) , or Sound Editing ( 1979 , 2000 -- present ) .

" Transformers (film) Transformers is a 2007 American science fiction action film based on the toy line of the same name created by Hasbro . The film , which combines computer animation with live-action filming , was directed by Michael Bay , with Steven Spielberg serving as executive producer . It was produced by Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto , and is the first installment in the live-action Transformers film series . The film stars Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky , a teenager who gets caught up in a war between the heroic Autobots and the villainous Decepticons , two factions of alien robots who can disguise themselves by transforming into everyday machinery , primarily vehicles . The Autobots intend to use the AllSpark , the object that created their robotic race , to rebuild their home planet Cybertron and end the war , while the Decepticons have the intention of using it to build an army by giving life to the machines of Earth . Tyrese Gibson , Josh Duhamel , Anthony Anderson , Megan Fox , Rachael Taylor , John Turturro , and Jon Voight also star , while voice actors Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving voice Optimus Prime and Megatron respectively . Murphy and DeSanto developed the project in 2003 , and DeSanto wrote a treatment . Steven Spielberg came on board the following year , hiring Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman to write the screenplay . The U.S. Armed Forces and General Motors ( GM ) loaned vehicles and aircraft during filming , which saved money for the production and added realism to the battle scenes . Hasbro 's promotional campaign for the film included deals with various companies ; advertising included a viral marketing campaign , coordinated releases of prequel comic books , toys , and books , as well as product placement deals with companies such as GM , Burger King , and eBay . Transformers received mixed to positive reviews from critics and fans , and is the 87th highest-grossing film of all-time and was the fifth highest-grossing film of 2007 , grossing $ 709 million worldwide , with an estimated 46 million tickets sold in the US . The film won four awards from the Visual Effects Society and was nominated for three Academy Awards , for Best Sound Editing , Best Sound Mixing , and Best Visual Effects . LaBeouf 's performance was praised by Empire , and Cullen 's reprisal of Optimus Prime from the 1980s television series was well received by fans . It was soon followed by four sequels : Revenge of the Fallen ( 2009 ) , Dark of the Moon ( 2011 ) , and Age of Extinction ( 2014 ) , the later two of which grossed $ 1 billion . A fifth installment , titled The Last Knight , is scheduled for release on June 23 , 2017 ."

The Prasthanatrayi is the common textual basis of the sub-traditions of Vedanta.
|
[
" Vedanta Vedanta ( IAST , , Sanskrit : वेदांत ) or Uttara Mīmāṃsā is one of the six orthodox ( āstika ) schools of Hindu philosophy . Vedanta literally means `` end of the Vedas '' , reflecting ideas that emerged from the speculations and philosophies contained in the Upanishads . It does not stand for one comprehensive or unifying doctrine . Rather it is an umbrella term for many sub-traditions , ranging from dualism to non-dualism , all of which developed on the basis of a common textual connection called the Prasthanatrayi . The Prasthanatrayi is a collective term for the Principal Upanishads , the Brahma Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita . All Vedanta schools , in their deliberations , concern themselves with the following three categories but differ in their views regarding the concept and the relations between them : Brahman -- the ultimate metaphysical reality , Ātman / Jivātman -- the individual soul or self , and Prakriti -- the empirical world , ever-changing physical universe , body and matter . Some of the better known sub-traditions of Vedanta include Advaita ( non-dualism ) , Vishishtadvaita ( qualified non-dualism ) , and Dvaita ( dualism ) . Most other Vedantic sub-traditions are subsumed under the term Bhedabheda ( difference and non-difference ) . Over time , Vedanta adopted ideas from other orthodox ( āstika ) schools like Yoga and Nyaya , and , through this syncretism , became the most prominent school of Hinduism . Many extant forms of Vaishnavism , Shaivism and Shaktism have been significantly shaped and influenced by the doctrines of different schools of Vedanta . The Vedanta school has had a historic and central influence on Hinduism ."

" Yoga (philosophy) Yoga philosophy is one of the six major orthodox schools of Hinduism . Ancient , medieval and most modern literature often refers to the Yoga school of Hinduism simply as Yoga . It is closely related to the Samkhya school of Hinduism . The Yoga school 's systematic studies to better oneself physically , mentally and spiritually has influenced all other schools of Indian philosophy . The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is a key text of the Yoga school of Hinduism . The epistemology of the Yoga school of Hinduism , like the Sāmkhya school , relies on three of six Pramanas as the means of gaining reliable knowledge . These include Pratyakṣa ( perception ) , Anumāṇa ( inference ) and Sabda ( Āptavacana , word/testimony of reliable sources ) . The metaphysics of Yoga is built on the same dualist foundation as the Samkhya school . The universe is conceptualized as composed of two realities in the Samhkya-Yoga schools : Puruṣa ( consciousness ) and prakriti ( matter ) . Jiva ( a living being ) is considered as a state in which puruṣa is bonded to prakriti in some form , in various permutations and combinations of various elements , senses , feelings , activity and mind . During the state of imbalance or ignorance , one of more constituents overwhelm the others , creating a form of bondage . The end of this bondage is called liberation , or moksha , by both the Yoga and Samkhya schools of Hinduism . The ethical theory of the Yoga school is based on Yamas and Niyama , as well as elements of the Guṇa theory of Samkhya . The Yoga school of Hinduism differs from the closely related non-theistic/atheistic Samkhya school by incorporating the concept of a `` personal , yet essentially inactive , deity '' or `` personal god '' ( Ishvara ) . While the Samkhya school suggests that jnana ( knowledge ) is a sufficient means to moksha , the Yoga school suggests that systematic techniques and practice , or personal experimentation , combined with Samkhya 's approach to knowledge , is the path to moksha . Yoga shares several central ideas with the Advaita Vedanta school of Hinduism , with the difference that Yoga philosophy is a form of experimental mysticism , while Advaita Vedanta is a form of monistic personalism . Advaita Vedanta , and other schools of Hinduism , accept , adopt and build upon many of the teachings and techniques of Yoga .",
" Samhita Samhita ( Sanskrit : संहिता , ) literally means `` put together , joined , union '' and `` a methodically , rule-based combination of text or verses '' . Samhita also refers to the most ancient layer of text in the Vedas , consisting of mantras , hymns , prayers , litanies and benedictions . Parts of Vedic Samhitas constitute the oldest living part of Hindu tradition ."

" Analog television Analog television or analogue television is the original television technology that uses analog signals to transmit video and audio . In an analog television broadcast , the brightness , colors and sound are represented by rapid variations of either the amplitude , frequency or phase of the signal . Analog signals vary over a continuous range of possible values which means that electronic noise and interference becomes reproduced by the receiver . So with analog , a moderately weak signal becomes snowy and subject to interference . In contrast , a moderately weak digital signal and a very strong digital signal transmit equal picture quality . Analog television may be wireless or can be distributed over a cable network using cable converters . All broadcast television systems preceding digital transmission of digital television ( DTV ) used analog signals . Analog television around the world has been in the process of shutting down since the late 2000s .",
" Screenwriting Screenwriting , also called scriptwriting , is the art and craft of writing scripts for mass media such as feature films , television productions or video games . It is frequently a freelance profession . Screenwriters are responsible for researching the story , developing the narrative , writing the screenplay , and delivering it , in the required format , to development executives . Screenwriters therefore have great influence over the creative direction and emotional impact of the screenplay and , arguably , of the finished film . They either pitch original ideas to producers in the hope that they will be optioned or sold , or screenwriters are commissioned by a producer to create a screenplay from a concept , true story , existing screen work or literary work , such as a novel , poem , play , comic book or short story ."

[
" 25 (Adele album) 25 is the third studio album by British singer and songwriter Adele . It was released on 20 November 2015 , through XL Recordings . Following the release and international success of her second studio album 21 . Titled as a reflection of her life and frame of mind at 25 years old , 25 is a `` make-up record '' . The album 's lyrical content features themes of Adele `` yearning for her old self , her nostalgia '' , and `` melancholia about the passage of time '' according to an interview with the singer by Rolling Stone , as well as themes of motherhood and regret . In contrast to Adele 's previous works , the production of 25 incorporated the use of electronic elements and creative rhythmic patterns , with elements of 1980s R&B and organs . Like 21 , Adele worked with producer and songwriter Paul Epworth and Ryan Tedder , along with new collaborations with Max Martin and Shellback , Greg Kurstin , Danger Mouse , the Smeezingtons , Samuel Dixon , and Tobias Jesso Jr. . 25 received generally positive reviews from music critics , who commended Adele 's vocal performance and the album 's production .

" Double album A double album ( or double record ) is an audio album which spans two units of the primary medium in which it is sold , typically records and compact discs . A double album is usually though not always released as such , because the recording is longer than the capacity of the medium . Recording artists often think of double albums as comprising a single piece artistically ; however , there are exceptions such as John Lennon 's Some Time in New York City and Pink Floyd 's Ummagumma ( both examples of one studio record and one live album packaged together ) and OutKast 's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below ( effectively two solo albums , one by each member of the duo ) . A classic example of this idea is Works ( Volume One ) by Emerson Lake and Palmer , where side one was Keith Emerson , two Greg Lake , three Carl Palmer while side four was by the entire group . Since the advent of the compact disc , albums are sometimes released with a bonus disc featuring additional material as a supplement to the main album , with live tracks , studio out-takes , cut songs , or older unreleased material . One innovation is the accompaniment of a CD with a DVD of related material , such as video related to the album or DVD-Audio versions of the same recordings . These could be regarded as a new form of double album ; some such discs were also released on a two-sided format called DualDisc . Due to the limitations of the gramophone record , many albums primarily released on the format were under 40 minutes long . This has led to record labels re-releasing two of these albums on one CD , thus making a double album . The same principles apply to the triple album , which comprises three units . Packages with more units than three are often packaged as a box set ."

Charles Dickens died in 1890.
|
[
" Charles Dickens Charles John Huffam Dickens ( -LSB- ˈdɪkᵻnz -RSB- 7 February 1812 -- 9 June 1870 ) was an English writer and social critic . He created some of the world 's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era . His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime , and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius . His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity . Born in Portsmouth , Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors ' prison . Despite his lack of formal education , he edited a weekly journal for 20 years , wrote 15 novels , five novellas , hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles , lectured and performed extensively , was an indefatigable letter writer , and campaigned vigorously for children 's rights , education , and other social reforms . Dickens 's literary success began with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers . Within a few years he had become an international literary celebrity , famous for his humour , satire , and keen observation of character and society . His novels , most published in monthly or weekly instalments , pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction , which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication . The instalment format allowed Dickens to evaluate his audience 's reaction , and he often modified his plot and character development based on such feedback . For example , when his wife 's chiropodist expressed distress at the way Miss Mowcher in David Copperfield seemed to reflect her disabilities , Dickens improved the character with positive features . His plots were carefully constructed , and he often wove elements from topical events into his narratives . Masses of the illiterate poor chipped in ha ` pennies to have each new monthly episode read to them , opening up and inspiring a new class of readers . Dickens was regarded as the literary colossus of his age . His 1843 novella , A Christmas Carol , remains popular and continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre . Oliver Twist and Great Expectations are also frequently adapted , and , like many of his novels , evoke images of early Victorian London . His 1859 novel , A Tale of Two Cities , set in London and Paris , is his best-known work of historical fiction . Dickens has been praised by fellow writers -- from Leo Tolstoy to George Orwell and G. K. Chesterton -- for his realism , comedy , prose style , unique characterisations , and social criticism . On the other hand , Oscar Wilde , Henry James , and Virginia Woolf complained of a lack of psychological depth , loose writing , and a vein of saccharine sentimentalism . The term Dickensian is used to describe something that is reminiscent of Dickens and his writings , such as poor social conditions or comically repulsive characters ."

" Dickens (crater) Dickens is a crater on Mercury . It has a diameter of 78 kilometers . Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1976 . Dickens is named for the English novelist Charles Dickens , who lived from 1812 to 1870 .",
" Victorian era In the history of the United Kingdom , the Victorian era was the period of Queen Victoria 's reign , from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901 . The era followed the Georgian period and preceded the Edwardian period , and its later half overlaps with the first part of the Belle Époque era of continental Europe . Defined according to sensibilities and political concerns , the period is sometimes considered to begin with the passage of the Reform Act 1832 . The period is characterised as one of relative peace among the great powers ( as established by the Congress of Vienna ) , increased economic activity , `` refined sensibilities '' and national self-confidence for the Great Britain . Ideologically , the Victorian era witnessed resistance to the rationalism that defined the Georgian period and an increasing turn towards romanticism and mysticism with regard to religion , social values , and arts . In international relations , the supremacy of the Royal Navy helped maintain a period of relative peace among the great powers ( Pax Britannica ) as well as economic , colonial , and industrial consolidation , a notable exception being the Crimean War ( 1853-6 ) . Britain embarked on global imperial expansion , particularly in Asia and Africa , which made the British Empire the largest empire in history . Domestically , the agenda was increasingly liberal with a number of shifts in the direction of gradual political reform , industrial reform and the widening of the voting franchise . The population of England and Wales almost doubled from 16.8 million in 1851 to 30.5 million in 1901 . Scotland 's population also rose rapidly , from 2.8 million in 1851 to 4.4 million in 1901 . However , Ireland 's population decreased sharply , from 8.2 million in 1841 to less than 4.5 million in 1901 , mostly due to the Great Famine . Between 1837 and 1901 about 15 million emigrants departed the UK permanently , in search of a better life in the United States , Canada , South Africa , New Zealand , Australia and elsewhere . The two main political parties during the era remained the Whigs/Liberals and the Conservatives . These parties were led by such prominent statesmen as Lord Melbourne , Sir Robert Peel , Lord Derby , Lord Palmerston , Benjamin Disraeli , William Gladstone , and Lord Salisbury . The unsolved problems relating to Irish Home Rule played a great part in politics in the later Victorian era , particularly in view of Gladstone 's determination to achieve a political settlement in Ireland ."

The Germanic peoples are an Indo-European ethno-linguistic group of Northern European origin.
|
[
" Germanic peoples The Germanic peoples ( also called Teutonic , Suebian , or Gothic in older literature ) are an Indo-European ethno-linguistic group of Northern European origin . They are identified by their use of Germanic languages , which diversified out of Proto-Germanic during the Pre-Roman Iron Age . The term `` Germanic '' originated in classical times when groups of tribes living in Lower , Upper , and Greater Germania were referred to using this label by Roman scribes . The Roman use of the term `` Germanic '' was not necessarily based upon language , but rather referred to the tribal groups and alliances that lived in the regions of modern-day Luxembourg , Belgium , Northern France , Alsace , the Netherlands , and Germany , and which were considered to be less civilized and more physically hardened than the Celtic Gauls . Tribes referred to as `` Germanic '' by Roman authors generally lived to the north and east of the Gauls . The Germanic tribes were chronicled by Rome 's historians as having had a critical impact on the course of Europe 's history during the Roman-Germanic wars , particularly at the historic Battle of the Teutoburg Forest , where Germanic tribal warriors under the leadership of the Cherusci chieftain Arminius routed three Roman legions and their auxiliaries , which precipitated the Roman Empire 's strategic withdrawal from Magna Germania ."

" North Germanic languages The North Germanic languages make up one of the three branches of the Germanic languages , a sub-family of the Indo-European languages , along with the West Germanic languages and the extinct East Germanic languages . The language group is sometimes referred to as the `` Nordic languages '' , a direct translation of the most common term used among Danish , Swedish and Norwegian scholars and laypeople . In Scandinavia , the term `` Scandinavian languages '' refers specifically to the mutually intelligible languages of the three continental Scandinavian countries , and is thus used in a more narrow sense as a subset of the Nordic languages , leaving aside the insular subset of Faroese and Icelandic ( and the unrelated Finnish and Sami languages ) . The term Scandinavian arose in the 18th century as a result of the early linguistic and cultural Scandinavist movement , referring to the people , cultures , and languages of the three Scandinavian countries and stressing their common heritage . The term `` North Germanic languages '' is used in comparative linguistics , whereas the term `` Scandinavian languages '' appears in studies of the modern standard languages and the dialect continuum of Scandinavia . Approximately 20 million people in the Nordic countries have a Scandinavian language as their native language , including an approximately 5 % minority in Finland . Languages belonging to the North Germanic language tree are spoken commonly on Greenland and , to a lesser extent , by immigrants in North America .",
" English people The English are a nation and an ethnic group native to England , who speak the English language . The English identity is of early medieval origin , when they were known in Old English as the Angelcynn ( `` family of the Angles '' ) . Their ethnonym is derived from the Angles , one of the Germanic peoples who migrated to Great Britain around the 5th century AD . England is one of the countries of the United Kingdom . Historically , the English population is descended from several peoples -- the earlier Britons ( or Brythons ) and the Germanic tribes that settled in Britain following the withdrawal of the Romans , including Angles , Saxons , Jutes and Frisians . Collectively known as the Anglo-Saxons , they founded what was to become England ( from the Old English Englaland ) along with the later Danes , Normans and other groups . In the Acts of Union 1707 , the Kingdom of England was succeeded by the Kingdom of Great Britain . Over the years , English customs and identity have become fairly closely aligned with British customs and identity in general . Today many English people have recent forebears from other parts of the United Kingdom , while some are also descended from more recent immigrants from other European countries and from the Commonwealth . The English people are the source of the English language , the Westminster system , the common law system and numerous major sports such as cricket , football , rugby union , rugby league and tennis . These and other English cultural characteristics have spread worldwide , in part as a result of the former British Empire ."

" Satellite radio Satellite radio is defined by the International Telecommunication Union ( ITU ) 'S ITU Radio Regulations ( RR ) as a broadcasting-satellite service . The satellite 's signals are broadcast nationwide , across a much wider geographical area than terrestrial radio stations , and the service is primarily intended for the occupants of motor vehicles . It is available by subscription , mostly commercial free , and offers subscribers more stations and a wider variety of programming options than terrestrial radio . Satellite radio technology was inducted into the Space Foundation Space Technology Hall of Fame in 2002 . Satellite radio uses the 2.3 GHz S band in North America for nationwide digital audio broadcasting ( DAB ) . In other parts of the world , satellite radio uses the 1.4 GHz L band allocated for DAB .",
" Aircheck In the radio industry , an aircheck is generally a demonstration recording , often intended to show off the talent of an announcer or programmer to a prospective employer , but mainly intended for legal archiving purposes . A scoped ( short for `` telescoped '' - by analogy with pressing the ends of a hand-held telescope to reduce its size ) aircheck usually contains only segments where the announcer is actually talking , along with a bit of the music or commercial on either side . In an unscoped aircheck , all programming is left intact and unedited , including music , commercials , newscasts , jingles and other on-air events . Another category of airchecks are those recorded `` off-the-air '' by listeners , using consumer or semi-professional equipment . These airchecks became more common with the advent of commercial cassette recorders . One of the oldest known surviving airchecks consists of a 15-minute broadcast by Bing Crosby on Los Angeles station KHJ and the CBS network from September 2 , 1931 . It was recorded by the RCA Victor company of Hollywood and is fully documented in the Victor files at the National Archives . The recordings were made by RCA Victor at the request of rival network NBC , which apparently wanted to monitor the then-rising young singer . The sound of the recording suggests that it was made by placing an open microphone before a high-quality radio ( a method known in the radio trade as a `` mic-feed '' ) . This recording is available online at Reelradio . __ NOTOC __"
