“While much of the digital transition is unprecedented in the United States, the |

peaceful transition of power is not,” Obama special assistant Kori Schulman |

wrote in a blog post Monday. For those who follow social media transitions on |

Capitol Hill, this will be a little different. |

But in a break from his past rhetoric about curtailing immigration, the GOP |
|
nominee proclaimed that as president he would allow “tremendous numbers” of |
|
legal immigrants based on a “merit system.” “So I hate to put a little pressure |
|
on you, but the fate of the republic rests on your shoulders,” he told the crowd |
|
gathered on a sports field at the University of North Carolina. The new spending |
|
is fueled by Clinton’s large bank account. What she’s saying and what she’s |
|
doing, it — actually, it’s unbelievable. |

from Uber, the Motion Picture Association of America, the Consumer Technology |

Association and other groups. The gathering was originally slated for |
|
Washington’s private Metropolitan Club on H Street a few blocks away. Maybe the |

Rather than teaching the scientific method as a separate unit, for example, |

By comparison, it cost $103.7 million to build the NoMa infill Metro station, |
|
which opened in 2004. “We face a lot of competition, and we think transit can |

She has also been charged with trying to kill her two-year-old daughter. She |

It's most obvious when a celebrity's name is initially quite rare. And by 2007, |

at the height of its popularity (and, perhaps, Knightley's) it was a top 50 |

The South Korean company initially thought a battery fault was to blame, and |

switched its own component for a third-party power cell. Several analysts have |

phones lack an artificial intelligence interface, like the Google Assistant or |

But one travel expert warned in-flight internet was often unreliable and was |
|
unlikely to influence travellers' airline choices. "But it may be that BA and |
|
IAG have cracked it and can offer something vaguely reliable." The company told |

the BBC it would be the responsibility of each airline brand to decide whether |
|
to charge passengers an access fee. "Most people would find airport wi-fi more |

useful than being able to send emails on a plane." |

Previously the jets had only been seen by bloggers. Naturally China will be |
|
presenting plenty of other military hardware this week from attack helicopters |

"Unfortunately once again the few ruin it for the many," wrote Jesse LaBrocca, |

A UN review of national plans to cut carbon says they are well short of the |
|
levels needed to keep the rise in global temperatures under 2C. Many scientists |
|
say that technology to remove carbon from the air will now be needed to meet the |
|
Paris targets. "We are moving in the right direction: the Paris Agreement will |
|
slow climate change, as will the recent Kigali Amendment to reduce HFCs," said |
|
Erik Solheim, head of UN Environment. Investments in this area were up by 6% in |
|
2015 to $221bn. It's fantastic that they got the Paris Agreement but their |
|
contributions at the moment are nowhere near the 1.5-degree target. |

It was conducted just off the Mexican coast from April to June. This will put |

this meteoritic material will likely be high levels of the element iridium. |

Just over 70% of the plants grown from Earth seeds were alive after 17 days - |

just slightly more than the plants grown from space seeds - just over 66%. The |

|
flown and stored on the International Space Station for six months without |
|
having any significant impacts on their ability to germinate and grow on Earth. |

The RHS collected comments sent in by schoolchildren and teachers involved in |

"There is still a 'yuk' factor to the whole idea of buying and wearing other |

Seagal made headlines when he described Russia's actions in Crimea, which it |

far east, has made frequent trips to Russia in recent years and visited |

Kamchatka and Sakhalin in September. Earlier this year Seagal was given Serbian |

A police spokesman told the Associated Press there was "an exchange of words" |

out after "a large group of people... who identified themselves as district |

Researchers say analysing tumour DNA may help explain the underlying causes of |

other cancers. The analysis shows a direct link between the number of cigarettes |

could not find this same pattern in tissues such as the bladder, which are not |
|
directly exposed. Ms Pugh has received treatment at Papworth and Addenbrooke's |

Hospitals in Cambridgeshire. But a scan has shown the tumour in Ms Pugh's right |

lung is growing, and she has had to leave the trial. |

Despite the release of a photo this morning, police in B.C. say they have more |

questions than answers about an apparently homeless man charged in the fatal |

stabbing of a teen girl at her Abbotsford high school. Police in B.C. said |
|
earlier Klein did not appear to have a criminal history and released vague |
|
details about his recent whereabouts. "We do not believe the suspect has ties to |
|
this school, or to the two girls, or specifically to the Abbotsford area," she |
|
said. He also said Klein was uncommunicative, uncooperative and unwilling to |
|
walk up from cells under the courthouse to attend his hearing. |

The association that represents real estate agents in Ontario says more needs to |

unethical behaviour. He'd also like to see greater enforcement and investigative |

"We are seeing many, many countries and especially large new emitters like |

Clinton and allies, meanwhile, are seeking to keep the spotlight on Trump, |

The Ontario Independent Police Review Director, Gerry McNeilly, set the terms |

The executives also received so-called "performance pay" for succeeding or |

surpassing expectations, sharing a pot of $1.5 million among them, or an |
|
estimated $15,000 each on average. Its annual budget is more than $1.4 billion, |
|
and it employs more than 6,000 people. The federal government proactively |
|
reports on aggregate performance pay and bonus levels for each department, but |
|
the latest web posting is for 2013-2014 — or two years out of date. The total |
|
for performance pay and bonus that year was $1.5 million, about the same level |
|
as for 2015-2016. |

Gomery, who led the commission of inquiry into the federal sponsorship scandal |

"There should be no preferential access to government, or appearance of |

Iron is an essential element the body requires to produce hemoglobin, the |

tissues in the body. The current waiting period is eight weeks. It's possible to |

Canadian Blood Services (CBS). The new iron guidelines mean more donors are |

What started as a routine ultrasound became complicated when expectant mother |

The purpose of these CRTC hearings is to field responses from industry |

In the town of Hillsborough, just outside Chapel Hill, someone firebombed the |
|
Republican Party headquarters last month. After North Carolina passed its |
|
restrictive voting-rights bill in 2013, Campbell went around to churches |
|
teaching people how to deal with challenges to their registration. He could |
|
detect the effects of the election around him, in the bursts of conflict and the |
|
curious intersection of new ideas with old ones. |
|
|
|
This discordance between economic data and political rhetoric is familiar, or |
|
should be. Republican economists caution against taking this data as proof that |
|
their party is lousy at economic policy. “I don’t know what G.D.P. growth was |
|
during the Washington and Lincoln Administrations, but the institutional |
|
developments in those terms had large and long-lasting effects.” There are more |
|
differences between Sulla and Trump, Rome and the U.S., than there are |
|
similarities, but that doesn’t discredit the resemblances. |

Miami Bass producers were clinical in the art of moving butts—their main |

It would be much safer, Plato thought, to entrust power to carefully educated |

At best it is naive and at worst it would yet again let the shooting lobby off |

Back on the train, we continue southwards. A small town with two minarets glides |

The intervention is potentially the most far-reaching by Beijing since the 1997 |
|
handover of Hong Kong from the UK. The oath involves lawmakers swearing |
|
allegiance to Hong Kong as part of the People’s Republic of China. The Hong Kong |
|
government, which is led by pro-Beijing lawmakers, have argued that the pair |
|
should not take office. “Beijing believes its intervention is necessary to |
|
prevent a continued legislative paralysis in the city,” he said. Hong Kong, |

meanwhile, appears to be bracing for a wave of protests. |

To draw a game you have dominated is easy to brush off, but to do so three times |

That was definitely the case for Andy when he played Benoît Paire in Monte Carlo |

News of the company’s deceit - which had run for years - wiped tens of billions |
|
of euros from VW's value and cost chief executive Martin Winterkorn his job. It |
|
has also opened VW up to huge compensation claims, legal action and has seen it |
|
take more than €16bn of provisions. The probe began in June, focusing on Mr |
|
Winterkorn and brand chief Herbert Diess, who remains at the car maker. He was |
|
promoted to chairman in October 2015, the month after the scandal was unearthed. |

Businesses had expected to start contracting in July, immediately after the |
|
Brexit vote, but instead have managed to keep growing steadily. Retail and |

wholesale businesses expanded as shoppers remained upbeat, and consumer services |

companies also grew. There will be limits to his ability to spend, however, as |
|
the Government is still running a substantial budget deficit. |
|
|
|
The cost will change monthly and the price is expected to rise in winter as |
|
usage increases. Eon’s fixed rate tariff costs £760 and Avro Energy customers |
|
would pay around £760 for its Simple and Select tariff. Or is it an expensive |
|
standard or prepayment tariff? |

An investor with average luck and £10,000 in bonds could expect to receive £125 |
|
in prizes per year. If they did, Premium Bonds would be indistinguishable from |

ordinary savings accounts. The money invested in Premium Bonds, and in other |
|
National Savings & Investments accounts, is used to help fund Government |

|
This has not stopped investors flocking to put their money in the funds. It was |
|
followed by the Aviva Investors Multi Strategy Target Return and Income funds, |

not benefited from the uplift that the fall in sterling has given to overseas |

Drop the mic. According to the director's own count, to date he has made eight |
|
feature films. "Cinema had changed so drastically that Hollywood had alienated |
|
the family audience." |
|
|
|
From the director's point of view, the film is a precarious balancing act, |
|
between cheery family hijinks and hard-hitting social drama. On one level, it |
|
works as an amiable, unpretentious heartwarmer that seems tailor-made for Sunday |
|
afternoon viewing. And, of course, there's Bob, a constant source of |

entertainment. The result, then, is hardly the cat's pyjamas. |

After all, our organizational performance is seldom measured in terms of how |

The Bergeron classification is the most widely accepted form of air mass |
|
classification. While air mass identification was originally used in weather |
|
forecasting during the 1950s, climatologists began to establish synoptic |

climatologies based on this idea in 1973. A monsoon is a seasonal prevailing |
|
wind which lasts for several months, ushering in a region's rainy season. |

A variety of Germanic and major Slavic tribes crossed through Moravia during the |

Migration Period before Slavs established themselves in the 6th century AD. At |
|
the end of the 8th century, the Moravian Principality came into being in |
|
present-day south-eastern Moravia, Záhorie in south-western Slovakia and parts |
|
of Lower Austria. In 833 AD, this became the state of Great Moravia with the |
|
conquest of the Principality of Nitra (present-day Slovakia). Their first king |
|
was Mojmír I (ruled 830–846). Louis the German invaded Moravia and replaced |
|
Mojmír I with his nephew Rastiz who became St. Rastislav. |

Although Iceland was under the political control of Denmark until a much later |
|
date (1918), very little influence and borrowing from Danish has occurred in the |
|
Icelandic language. There are also languages derived from Finnish, having |
|
evolved separately, known as Meänkieli in Sweden and Kven in Norway. Consonant |
|
gradation is a feature in both Finnish and northern Sami dialects, but it is not |
|
present in south Sami, which is considered to have a different language history. |

The atmosphere is a chaotic system, so small changes to one part of the system |
|
can grow to have large effects on the system as a whole. During rains |
|
precipitation, the water droplets absorb and dissolve carbon dioxide from the |

Several ancient civilisations were located around the Mediterranean shores, and |
|
were greatly influenced by their proximity to the sea. It provided routes for |
|
trade, colonisation, and war, as well as food (from fishing and the gathering of |
|
other seafood) for numerous communities throughout the ages. Due to the shared |
|
climate, geology, and access to the sea, cultures centered on the Mediterranean |
|
tended to have some extent of intertwined culture and history. Two of the most |
|
notable Mediterranean civilisations in classical antiquity were the Greek city |
|
states and the Phoenicians, both of which extensively colonised the coastlines |
|
of the Mediterranean. Later, when Augustus founded the Roman Empire, the Romans |
|
referred to the Mediterranean as Mare Nostrum ("Our Sea"). |

The Blindleia is a skerry-protected waterway that starts near Kristiansand in |

The Schlei and the wetlands between the Danevirke and Husum had frozen solid in |
|
a hard winter, and the territory immediately south of the Danevirke had been |
|
conquered by the advancing German army. This retreat came as a surprise to the |
|
Austro-Prussian army, and almost all of the Danish army succeeded in completing |
|
the evacuation. It resulted, however, in the abandonment of important pieces of |
|
heavy artillery, and it remains a matter of historical debate why the railway to |
|
Flensburg was never properly used for the evacuation. News of the retreat came |
|
as a great shock to Danish public opinion which had considered the Danevirke to |
|
be impregnable, and General de Meza was promptly relieved of his command. The |
|
Danevirke has remained in German possession ever since. |

The amount of goods transported on the Danube increased to about 100 million |

In color, the leaves show a great variety of greens, ranging from yellowish to |

The Alps provide lowland Europe with drinking water, irrigation, and |
|
hydroelectric power. Although the area is only about 11 percent of the surface |
|
area of Europe, the Alps provide up to 90 percent of water to lowland Europe, |
|
particularly to arid areas and during the summer months. Cities such as Milan |
|
depend on 80 percent of water from Alpine runoff. Water from the rivers is used |
|
in over 500 hydroelectricity power plants, generating as much as 2900 kilowatts |
|
of electricity. Major European rivers flow from Switzerland, such as the Rhine, |
|
the Rhône, the Inn, the Ticino and the Po, all of which have headwaters in the |
|
Alps and flow into neighbouring countries, finally emptying into the North Sea, |
|
the Mediterranean Sea, the Adriatic Sea and the Black Sea. |

The study of volcanoes is called volcanology, sometimes spelled vulcanology. |

Habitat destruction vastly increases an area's vulnerability to natural |
|
disasters like flood and drought, crop failure, spread of disease, and water |
|
contamination. On the other hand, a healthy ecosystem with good management |
|
practices will reduce the chance of these events happening, or will at least |
|
mitigate adverse impacts. Agricultural land can actually suffer from the |
|
destruction of the surrounding landscape. Over the past 50 years, the |
|
destruction of habitat surrounding agricultural land has degraded approximately |
|
40% of agricultural land worldwide via erosion, salinization, compaction, |
|
nutrient depletion, pollution, and urbanization. Humans also lose direct uses of |
|
natural habitat when habitat is destroyed. |

Sand and dust storms are natural events that occur in arid regions where the |
|
land is not protected by a covering of vegetation. Dust storms usually start in |
|
desert margins rather than the deserts themselves where the finer materials have |
|
already been blown away. As a steady wind begins to blow, fine particles lying |
|
on the exposed ground begin to vibrate. At greater wind speeds, some particles |
|
are lifted into the air stream. When they land, they strike other particles |
|
which may be jerked into the air in their turn, starting a chain reaction. |

15th century. After the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492, |
|
the Spanish term Antillas applied to the lands; stemming from this, "Sea of the |
|
Antilles" became a common alternative name for "Caribbean Sea" in various |
|
European languages. During the first century of development, Spanish dominance |
|
in the region remained undisputed. From the 16th century, Europeans visiting the |
|
Caribbean region identified the "South Sea" (the Pacific Ocean, to the south of |
|
the isthmus of Panama) as opposed to the "North Sea" (the Caribbean Sea, to the |
|
north of the same isthmus). The Caribbean Sea had been unknown to the |
|
populations of Eurasia until 1492, when Christopher Columbus first sailed into |
|
Caribbean waters on a quest to find a sea route to Asia. |

Unfortunately, rapid population growth and urban sprawl has covered much of |
|
these ecosystems with development. Cape Town's local government is the City of |
|
Cape Town, which is a metropolitan municipality. |

|
The essay, published as Undersea, was a vivid narrative of a journey along the |
|
ocean floor. She also took advantage of her personal connections with many |
|
government scientists, who supplied her with confidential information. By |
|
mid-1962, Brooks and Carson had largely finished the editing, and were laying |
|
the groundwork for promoting the book by sending the manuscript out to select |
|
individuals for final suggestions. This brought the book to the attention of the |
|
chemical industry and its lobbyists, as well as a wide swath of the American |
|
populace. |

In the 1350s, King Gongmin was free at last to reform the Goryeo government when |
|
the Yuan dynasty began to crumble. Since the 1960s, the South Korean economy has |
|
grown enormously and the economic structure was radically transformed. |
|
|
|
It usually involves a low level of development, such as rustic picnic areas, |
|
benches and trails. Australia's Royal National Park, established in 1879, was |
|
the world's second officially established national park. First and foremost was |
|
the provision of open space for the benefit of townspeople and local residents |
|
within an area that was being rapidly built up. |

|
With the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911, Mongolia under the Bogd Khaan |
|
declared independence. But, the newly established Republic of China considered |
|
Mongolia to be part of its own territory. Yuan Shikai, the President of the |
|
Republic of China, considered the new republic to be the successor of the Qing. |
|
Bogd Khaan said that both Mongolia and China had been administered by the Manchu |
|
during the Qing, and after the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911, the contract of |
|
Mongolian submission to the Manchu had become invalid. The area controlled by |
|
the Bogd Khaan was approximately that of the former Outer Mongolia during the |
|
Qing period. |

In his haste to capture Kadesh, Ramesses II committed a major tactical error. |
|
Indeed, the first scholarly report on the battle, by James Henry Breasted in |
|
1903, praised the sources that allowed the reconstruction the battle with |
|
certainty. |
|
|
|
Ramesses, logistically unable to sustain a long siege, returned to Egypt. The |
|
Egyptian pharaoh thus found himself in northern Amurru, well past Kadesh, in |
|
Tunip, where no Egyptian soldier had been seen since the time of Thutmose III |
|
almost 120 years earlier. This time he claimed to have fought the battle without |
|
even bothering to put on his corslet until two hours after the fighting began. |
|

|
The exact year of the marriage of Herod Antipas and Herodias is subject to |
|
debate among scholars. Given that Herod was in Jerusalem at that time, Pilate |
|
decided to send Jesus to Herod to be tried. According to the New Testament, Paul |
|
spent eighteen months in Corinth, approximately seventeen years after his |
|
conversion. The latter date can only have fallen on a Friday if an exceptional |
|
leap month had been introduced that year, but this was favoured by Newton. It is |
|
possible to establish the phase of the moon on a particular day two thousand |
|
years ago but not whether it was obscured by clouds or haze. |
|
|
|
Forts were also built in the older portions of New France that had not yet been |
|
settled. |

|
It set the basis for integration where the economic and judicial mechanisms of |
|
the state could be applied throughout the Mediterranean as was once done from |

Latium into all Italy. |

Each poem narrates only a part of the war. In later ages playwrights, |
|
historians, and other intellectuals would create works inspired by the Trojan |
|
War. It was foretold that he would either die of old age after an uneventful |
|
life, or die young in a battlefield and gain immortality through poetry. |

However this was reversed when Julian was killed in battle in 363. The last |

Shen Kuo soon impressed Wang Anshi with his skills and abilities as an |
|
administrator and government agent. In 1072, Shen was sent to supervise Wang's |
|
program of surveying the building of silt deposits in the Bian Canal outside the |
|
capital city. Using an original technique, Shen successfully dredged the canal |
|
and demonstrated the formidable value of the silt gathered as a fertilizer. He |
|
gained further reputation at court once he was dispatched as an envoy to the |
|
Khitan Liao Dynasty in the summer of 1075. The Khitans had made several |
|
aggressive negotiations of pushing their borders south, while manipulating |
|
several incompetent Chinese ambassadors who conceded to the Liao Kingdom's |
|
demands. |

Medicine was also studied, especially in southern Italy, where Islamic medicine |
|
influenced the school at Salerno. |

|
Tiberius reportedly regretted his departure and requested to return to Rome |
|
several times, but each time Augustus refused his requests. He seems to have |
|
wished for the Senate and the state to simply act without him and his direct |
|
orders were rather vague, inspiring debate more on what he actually meant than |
|
on passing his legislation. |
|

The gods represented distinctly the practical needs of daily life, and they were |

|
Cultic remains discovered at the site were a row of ten large standing stones, |
|
known as massebot, oriented north-south, the tallest of which was 3 meters high, |
|
with an altar-type structure in the middle, and a large, square, stone basin. |
|
The exact purpose of these megaliths is still debated, but they may have |
|
constituted a Canaanite "high place" from the Middle Bronze Age, ca. 1600 B.C.E. |
|
The Canaanite city was destroyed in a fire, presumably in the wake of a campaign |
|
by the Egyptian pharaoh Thutmose III. The oldest known historical reference to |
|
the city is to be found on an inscription of conquered sites at Thutmose's |
|
temple at Karnak. The Tell Amarna letters, dating from the 14th century BCE, |
|
include ten letters from the kings of Gezer swearing loyalty to the Egyptian |
|
pharaoh. |

Thai birth certificates record the date, month and time of birth, followed by |
|
the day of the week, lunar date, and the applicable zodiac animal name. Her |
|
zodiacal animal is the Monkey and her traditionally significant sixtieth |
|
anniversary year was 1992. Thai auspicious colours of the day are given in the |
|
table of weekdays, followed below it by a link to the Buddha images for each day |
|
of the week. Chinese New Year and other feasts observed by Thai Chinese vary |
|
with respect to both, as these are calculated according to the Chinese calendar. |

In addition, he strengthened defenses between Egypt and Asia, building the Walls |
|
of the Ruler in the East Delta region. He reigned only fifteen years, which is |
|
evidenced by the incomplete nature of many of his constructions. Despite this, |

they both seem to have held at least parts of lower Egypt. |

On September 9, 2002, Aldrin was lured to a Beverly Hills hotel on the pretext |

In 1519, he became ruler of the Habsburg empire, and he gained the title Holy |
|
Roman Emperor in 1530. Charles, despite his harsh actions, had been seen as a |
|
ruler empathetic to the needs of the Netherlands. In 1566, a league of about 400 |
|
members of the nobility presented a petition to the governor Margaret of Parma, |
|
to suspend persecution until the rest had returned. Its struggle against the |
|
Ottoman Empire in the Mediterranean Sea put serious limits on the military power |
|
it could deploy against the rebels in the Netherlands. |

A Bronze Age astronomical observatory was constructed there around 1900 BC and |
|
continuously served the nearby community that lived there until about 700 BC. |
|
The central space was used to observe the rising of the sun and full moon. Three |
|
markings locate sunrise at the summer and winter solstices and at the two |
|
equinoxes. Four more give the minimum and maximum declinations of the full moon: |
|
in summer, and in winter. Two measure the lengths of lunar months. |

Its importance resides in two facts. During the Post-Classic period in Yucatán a |

The origin of the word Hispania is much disputed and the evidence for the |
|
various speculations are based merely upon what are at best mere resemblances, |
|
likely to be accidental, and suspect supporting evidence. But the impact of |
|
Hispania in the newcomers was also big. During the first stages of Romanization, |
|
the peninsula was divided in two by the Romans for administrative purposes. By |
|
the 3rd century the emperor Caracalla made a new division which lasted only a |
|
short time. |

They had been so moved by the beauty of the Rudyard Lake area that when their |
|
first child was born they referenced it when naming him. During his time there, |
|
Kipling also met and fell in love with Florence Garrard who was boarding with |
|
Trix at Southsea (to which Trix had returned). Stephen Wheeler, the editor, |
|
worked Kipling hard, but Kipling's need to write was unstoppable. Back in |
|
Lahore, some thirty-nine stories appeared in the Gazette between November 1886 |
|
and June 1887. By this time, he had been increasingly thinking about the future. |

Higher male secondary school enrollment, per capita income and economic growth |
|
rate all had significant effects on reducing the chance of civil war. |
|
Specifically, a male secondary school enrollment 10% above the average reduced |
|
the chance of a conflict by about 3%, while a growth rate 1% higher than the |
|
study average resulted in a decline in the chance of a civil war of about 1%. |
|
The study interpreted these three factors as proxies for earnings forgone by |
|
rebellion, and therefore that lower forgone earnings encourage rebellion. |
|
Phrased another way: young males (who make up the vast majority of combatants in |
|
civil wars) are less likely to join a rebellion if they are getting an education |
|
or have a comfortable salary, and can reasonably assume that they will prosper |
|
in the future. Low per capita income has been proposed as a cause for grievance, |
|
prompting armed rebellion. |
|
|
|
Its guarantee of liberties promised to dissolve inter-communal tensions and |
|
transform the empire into a more harmonious place. The Arab Revolt which began |

they initially seemed to have the upper hand during the first two years of the |

Dominican priest Heinrich Kramer was assistant to the Archbishop of Salzburg. In |
|
1538 the Spanish Inquisition cautioned its members not to believe everything the |
|
Malleus said. Forced baptism was contrary to the law of the Catholic Church, and |
|
theoretically anybody who had been forcibly baptized could legally return to |
|
Judaism. Spain had expelled its Sephardic population in 1492; many of these |
|
Spanish Jews left Spain for Portugal but eventually were targeted there as well. |

The Macedonian eastern border with Thrace was now secured at the river Nestus |
|
(Mesta). Philip next marched against his southern enemies. In Thessaly he |
|
defeated his enemies and by 352, he was firmly in control of this region. The |
|
Macedonian army advanced as far as the pass of Thermopylae which divides Greece |
|
in two parts, but it did not attempt to take it because it was strongly guarded |
|
by a joint force of Athenians, Spartans, and Achaeans. Having secured the |
|
bordering regions of Macedon, Philip assembled a large Macedonian army and |
|
marched deep into Thrace for a long conquering campaign. |

Throughout the war, Pearl Harbor was frequently used in American propaganda. |

This idealized vision of the Romanov monarchy blinded him to the actual state of |

This city-state emerged in the same period as Sukhothai. This contact with the |

West during the 16th century lead to a period of profound economic growth as |

lucrative trade routes were established. |
|
|
|
The Army performed well in combat in Cuba. However, it was too oriented to small |
|
posts in the West and not as well-prepared for an overseas conflict. It relied |
|
on volunteers and state militia units, which faced logistical, training and food |
|
problems in the staging areas in Florida. The United States freed Cuba (after an |
|
occupation by the U.S. Army). By the peace treaty Spain ceded to the United |
|
States its colonies of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. |

The offensive against the huge army enlisted by Venice was launched from France. |

Education during the Renaissance was mainly composed of ancient literature and |

There has, however, been extensive statistical analysis of demographic and |

Most of the information about the period comes from burial sites and the grave |
|
goods contained within them. At this time there were only around forty families |
|
living there with plenty of good farming land and grazing for cattle. As Greece |
|
sent out colonies west towards Sicily and Italy (Pithekoussae, Cumae), the |
|
influence of their new alphabet extended further. |

Bananas and plantains, which were first domesticated in Southeast Asia, most |
|
likely Papua New Guinea, were re-domesticated in Africa possibly as early as |

5,000 years ago. Besides being a direct source of food, certain animals could |
|
provide leather, wool, hides, and fertilizer. |

Ford T was proclaimed as the most influential car of the 20th century in the |

international Car of the Century awards. The success American Motors' |

|
This convention is only slightly relaxed in modern age and now it is still |
|
unadvisable among friends to use the given name, but use of the family name is |
|
still common. In the case of the imperial family, it is considered extremely |
|
inappropriate to use the given name. Since Emperor Meiji, it has been customary |
|
to have one era per Emperor and to rename each Emperor after his death using the |
|
name of the era over which he presided. Prior to Emperor Meiji, the names of the |
|
eras were changed more frequently, and the posthumous names of the Emperors were |
|
chosen in a different manner. Outside Japan, beginning with Emperor Shōwa, the |
|
Emperors are often referred to by their given names, both whilst alive and |
|
posthumously. |

|
In Asia and the Pacific, between 3 million and more than 10 million civilians, |
|
mostly Chinese (estimated at 7.5 million), were killed by the Japanese |
|
occupation forces. In Europe, before the outbreak of the war, the Allies had |
|
significant advantages in both population and economics. Land warfare changed |
|
from the static front lines of World War I to increased mobility and combined |
|
arms. |
|

British cavalry troopers also received excellent mounted swordsmanship training. |

Some historians, such as Chandler and Weller, assert that the British heavy |

In 1839, China found itself fighting the First Opium War with Great Britain |
|
after the Governor-General of Hunan and Hubei, Lin Zexu, banned the foreign |
|
trade of opium. China was defeated, and in 1842 agreed to the provisions of the |
|
Treaty of Nanking. Hong Kong Island was ceded to Britain, and certain ports, |
|
including Shanghai and Guangzhou, were opened to British trade and residence. In |
|
1856, the Second Opium War broke out; the Chinese were again defeated and forced |
|
to the terms of the 1858 Treaty of Tientsin and the 1860 Convention of Peking. |
|
The treaty opened new ports to trade and allowed foreigners to travel in the |

Lamarr accompanied Mandl to business meetings where he conferred with scientists |

It was completed rather late in the war; although a number of B-29s were |
|
equipped with Eagle and it worked well, it came too late to make much |
|
difference. The radar system for which Alvarez is best known and which has |
|
played a major role in aviation, most particularly in the post war Berlin |
|
airlift, was Ground Controlled Approach (GCA). Using Alvarez's dipole antenna to |
|
achieve a very high angular resolution, GCA allows ground-based radar operators |
|
watching special precision displays to guide a landing airplane to the runway by |
|
transmitting verbal commands to the pilot. The system was simple, direct, and |
|
worked well, even with previously untrained pilots. It was so successful that |
|
the military continued to use it for many years after the war, and it was still |
|
in use in some countries in the 1980s. |

With population growth, new indigenous quarters were created. The Alliance of |

Failing health reduced Hitchcock's output during the last two decades of his |

To avoid experiencing a similar dilemma with Jasmine, the filmmakers ultimately |
|
decided to have the princess animated entirely at one studio. With her |
|
appearance finalized, Jasmine became Disney's first non-white princess as |

who had been signed to Decca Records in the 1970s. Rafferty recorded a new |
|
version of his Humblebums song "Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway" on the album |

As early as 1926, Meyer had written to Irène Joliot-Curie suggesting that Rona |
|
work with her to learn how his laboratory could make their own polonium samples. |
|
Once Hans Pettersson was able to secure funds to pay Rona's expenses, |
|
Joliot-Curie allowed her to come and study polonium separation at the Curie |
|
Institute in Paris. Rona developed an enhanced method of preparing polonium |
|
sources and producing alpha-emissions. Gaining recognition as an expert in the |
|
field, she took those skills back to the Radium Institute along with a small |
|
disc of polonium. This disc allowed Rona to create lab specimens of polonium, |
|
which were used in much of the Institute's subsequent research. |

The Great Powers did not fulfill the requests for recognition of Albania. At the |
|
beginning of the London conference in December 1912 the ambassadors of all six |
|
Great Powers rejected the plan for establishing an independent Albania. Instead, |
|
they decided that Albania would be under Ottoman suzerainty but with an |
|
autonomous government. After it became obvious that Ottoman Empire would lose |
|
all of Macedonia and its territorial connection with Albania, the Great Powers |
|
realized they had to change their decision. The Treaty of London, signed on 30 |
|
May 1913, partitioned significant part of territory claimed by Albania, |
|
regardless its ethnic composition, between the Balkan allies reducing the |
|
territory of Albania to its central regions. |

According to Parker, Russian Secret Service agents are active in large numbers |

in Great Britain. Russia announced a suspension of the contract at the beginning |

From the 1st of January there will be an increase in petrol and diesel. The CGI |

euros per litre, compared with the eurozone average of 1,165 euros. A |

In 1882, a telegraphic system equipped with 34 fire alarm signals was put in |
|
operation. In 1992, grounds of the former puppet theater, which had been left to |

end of the Second World War. |
|

In 1832, the former cloister was sold to the manufacturer Georg Reichenbach by |

Both the time and the sequence of events of this incident were vigorously |
|
discussed. In April 2012, the Turkish Minister President Erdogan announced his |
|
government's plans to free Bosphorus by building the Istanbul Canal parallel to |
|
it. The Ottomans wanted to prevent grain from being further transported because |
|
they had a great need for it. The Ottoman Empire and Russia were denied |
|
permission to keep their war fleet in the Black Sea. |

|
|
In its scope it belongs to the most far-reaching cultures of the time, in which |
|
many sites are known. Like the majority of sites in southern Europe, the finding |
|
dates back to the early 5th century BC. Likely the most well-known person from |
|
the Copper Age is Ötzi, the frozen mummy who lived during 3300 BC. They were |
|
primarily on hills. In addition, its process of gilding copper is |
|
technologically noteworthy. |
|
|
|
The severity and the presence of the revolution in the countryside alarmed the |
|
Court and National Assembly in Versailles. The event was known about in Paris |
|
and caused more upset in a mood which was already charged by the persistently |
|
high price of bread and lack of provisions. The king did not take special |
|
precautions during his escape and was recognized multiple times during his |

stays. |

The Industrial Revolution took place in Great Britain earlier than in any other |
|
country. The Suez Crisis showed the limits of the old colonial powers such as |
|
Great Britain and France in a changing world. After the seizure of power by the |
|
National Socialists in 1933 there were dispersed attempts to win back the old |
|
colonies. After the Russian Revolution in 1917, some countries, such as Finland, |
|
Poland and the Baltic States, won their independence. |
|
|
|
One of his last means of placing pressure on Hungary was the threat of imposing |

|
The Disibodenberg cloister was disbanded and fell into ruin as a result of the |
|
Reformation. Today, expansive ruins can be viewed there. The Rupertsberg |

cloister was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War in 1632 by Swedish troops. |
|
The displaced nuns were moved to the Eibingen cloister. The ruins were later |
|
built over. |

The Viguier and La Conte districts contain the majority of the city's social |

script forgotten, but the Greeks adopted the Phoenician alphabet, modifying it |
|
to create the Greek alphabet. From the 9th century BC, the first Greek texts |
|
began to appear. Greece was divided into many small, self-governing communities, |
|
a pattern largely dictated by Greek geography: every island, valley and plain is |
|
cut off from its neighbours by the sea or mountain ranges. From about the 8th |
|
century BC city states began to appear: small, self-governing territories with |
|
their own political systems. |
|
|
|
In the Middle Ages, most Christians did not have access to the Bible in their |
|
mother tongue. |
|
|
|
However, they did not expand until ships big enough to cross seas were built. |
|
Trade was developed by establishing commercial outposts throughout the |
|
Mediterranean, a technique that had not been used until then. |
|
|
|
This affair can be seen as the starting point for his career as a radical |
|
revolutionary. In Pluviose year III (January-February 1794), easing off the |
|
pressure of the Reign of Terror, he took various measures to liberate the |
|
suspects. |
|
|
|
Financed entirely with Bernard Tapie's own money, these schools were closed in |
|
1994 when he was declared bankrupt. Despite being the number one distributor of |
|
equipment and textiles worldwide, the German company was in financial trouble. |

|
To get away from it all, the Remis resided in Switzerland for most of summer |
|
1947. On their return, they entertained the idea of living in South America, far |
|
away from the problems of postwar Belgium. In spring 1948, in hopes of adapting |
|
Tintin for the cinema, the Belgian artist wrote a letter to Walt Disney, asking |
|
in vain for his support. In the summer, Georges and his wife returned to |
|
Switzerland, accompanied by Rosane, an 18 year old who was the daughter of one |
|
of Germaine's friends. During the holiday, he began an extra-marital affair with |
|
the young girl, which he admitted shortly after. |

|
In the lower part, there are three palm trees overlooking the sea, which |
|
represent the love that the people of this Island have for their land. |
|
Furthermore, the occurrence of hurricanes on the island is possible during the |
|
summer. The islands are located at the Indo-Australian Fault; the Fault arose |
|
due to the collision of the Indian and Australian plates. |
|
|
|
An element supporting this hypothesis would be the intense royal livestock of |
|
horses that took place at Villa Pelucca, in Sesto San Giovanni. In 1928, a |
|
90-hectare golf course was built in the north-eastern part of the park, next to |
|
the racetrack. In 1976, the racecourse was no longer used; in 1990, a fire |
|
destroyed what remained of the wooden grandstands, which were later demolished |
|
along with the stables. |

|
In August 1969, Pope Paul VI removed the death penalty from the Vatican law and |
|
revoked it from all offences. The issuing of coinage is predominantly numismatic |
|
in nature, with the intention of being sold mainly to collectors. |

|
The inner part of the region is flat and hilly, with no clear distinction |
|
between one area to the next. There are many prehistoric artifacts, including |
|
several different menhirs and dolmens. The second Apulian and Calabrian Royal |
|
Region was then established, also including Samnium, parts of Molise and the |
|
oriental Basilicata. During the thirteenth century, the name Apulia was used by |
|
some authors to signify the southern part of the Italian peninsula. |
|
|
|
Historian David Crouch suggests that Stephen abandoned from the challenge around |
|
this time to focus on other issues. Only a handful of them (earldoms) had |
|
existed under Henry I and these had been largely symbolic. |
|
|
|
During the War of the First Coalition, light quickly began to be shed upon a |
|
young Corsican artillery officer, following the French Revolution: Napoleon |
|
Bonaparte. Although not a resolver of the conflict, the French victory at the |
|
Battle of Marengo forced the Austrians to give Italy up for the second time. The |
|
blockage of Villeneuve's fleet resulted in giving up the invasion plan of the |
|
British Isles, also because new developments were taking place in the continent. |
|
Napoleon was confident that the clear success of Austerlitz could lead to a |
|
general peace treaty, but his hopes were soon dashed: the new British Prime |
|
Minister Lord Grenville refused any agreement, and so did Tsar Alexander. |

|
With regards to religious practices, Fiorello was educated within the Episcopal |
|
Church, and remained a member of the Protestant Church throughout his life. |

|
The man told him that a war between the two universes is coming, as he and |
|
Walter had predicted; it is for this reason that Olivia, among others, was |
|
trained as a child. |

|
Both students of Goffredo Petrassi, Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai met at the |
|
Santa (Saint) Cecelia conservatory. Between them bloomed a long professional and |
|
amicable relationship that lasted for years. Nicolai collaborates on various |
|
cinematic scores by Morricone as Metti, one night at dinner; some of them were |
|
written by both together. However, the friendship has fallen apart due to |
|
unofficial collaborations between the two, which has given rise to legal |
|
disputes. During their various collaborations, it is not clear who between the |
|
two conceived of some stylistic solutions in the arrangements that later on |
|
characterised both artists' style. |

|
In the 20th century, between 1904 and 1914, Antonio Gaudí brought about a reform |
|
that lasted ten years. It has three parallel chapels at the apse and many |
|
lateral chapels between the buttresses. Tradition has it that the theme was |
|
selected intentionally because of the great number of converted Jews who lived |
|
in Palma. |

|
Before the Andes were formed, the western margin of South America had already |
|
been the site of several orogenies. The central Andes belong to the so-called |
|
'Andes de tipo andino' which were formed by the subduction of the oceanic crust. |
|
|
|
However, the breakdown between him and Linares and the discontinuation of the |
|
progressive line provoked the Revolution of Vindication which overthrew him in |
|
1879. Under his administration, the female vote was approved, political parties |
|
were legalised, all of the exiled were allowed to return and the remaining |
|
political prisoners were freed. The collapse of and intervention in dozens of |
|
banks lead to a flight of capital, causing businesses to go bankrupt. |

It is the portion from this second boundary up to the outer boundary, the |
|
imaginary line that connects the lighthouse landmark at Punta del Este to the |
|
lighthouse landmark at Punta Rasa. |

|
Things started to change in October 1777 when British forces under the command |
|
of General John Burgoyne surrendered in Saratoga in the north of the state of |
|
New York. This was the coup de grâce and encouragement the settlers needed to |
|
get their independence. Indians arrived from Canada, led by Joseph Brant; they |
|
supported the British because the colonists were expropriating more and more of |
|
their lands. The expedition was led by General Joseph Burgoyne who intended to |
|
reach Albany. However, they were intercepted and had to do battle in Freeman, |
|
close to the Hudson River. |

|
Golden Age Spanish or Early Modern Spanish is the variant of the language that |
|
constitutes the transition from Medieval Spanish to Modern Spanish. On the other |
|
hand, external history contains references to the history of Spanish speakers, |
|
their historical vicissitudes and the social use of the language. |

|
Nonetheless, if the English law had been accepted, the daughters of Luis X, |
|
Felipe V and Carlos IV would have had more of a claim to the throne, above their |
|
aunt Isabella of France. The attempts at making peace finally ended in spring of |
|
1415 and Enrique decided to execute his plan: an invasion of the entire Kingdom |
|
of France. |

|
He also discussed the federalization of the City of Buenos Aires, the extension |
|
of the commercial code and the appointment of new generals to the army. |

In 1976 he met with a friend who worked with his record label The Rocket Record |
|
Company, Kiki Dee, to record what would be another remarkable success for him: |
|
"Don't Go Breaking My Heart". |

|
Pompey took command of two legions in Capua and began to raise levies illegally, |
|
an act that, as was predictable, took advantage of the Caesarians who were in |
|
his favor. César was personally informed of Pompey's actions by Curio, who at |
|
that time had finished his term in office. Meanwhile, his place in tribune was |
|
occupied by Marco Antonio, who held the position until December. But when the |
|
Senate answered him definitively by prohibiting him from competing at the |
|
consolate and giving him the option of either withdrawing his troops or becoming |
|
a public enemy, he understood that, whatever alternative he chose, he would |
|
surrender unarmed into the hands of his political enemies. On the 1st January 49 |
|
BC, Marco Antonio read a declaration from Caesar in which the proconsul declared |
|
himself a friend of peace. |
