the final color of each strand of hair will depend on its original color and porosity because hair s color and porosity across the head and along the length of a hair strand there will be subtle variations in shade across the entire head this gives a more natural looking result than the solid all over color of a permanent color because gray or white hairs have a different starting color than other hair they will not appear as the same shade as the rest of the hair when treated with semi permanent color if there are only a few grey white hairs the effect will usually be enough for them to blend in but as the gray spreads there will come a point where it will not be disguised as well in this case the move to permanent color can sometimes be delayed by using the semi permanent as a base and adding highlights
the chemical formulae of alternative color dyes typically contain only tint and have no developer this means that they will only create the bright color of the packet if they are applied to light blond hair darker hair medium brown to black would need to be bleached in order for these pigment applications to take to the hair desirably some types of fair hair may also take vivid colors more fully after bleaching gold yellow and orange undertones in hair that has not been lightened enough can muddy the final hair color especially with pink blue and green dyes although some alternative colors are semi permanent such as blue and purple it could take several months to fully wash the color from bleached or pre lightened hair
in certain individuals the use of hair coloring can result in allergic reactions and or skin irritation individuals allergic to gluten for example will need to be cautious when purchasing hair color since certain hair dye includes gluten gluten does not need to be ingested for it to cause an allergy skin contact with gluten may cause a reaction therefore leading to an allergy symptoms of these reactions can include redness sores itching burning sensation and discomfort symptoms will sometimes not be apparent immediately following the application and processing of the tint but can also arise after hours or even a day later
the preparation dye precursors is in the leuco colorless form oxidizing agents are usually hydrogen peroxide and the alkaline environment is usually provided by ammonia the combination of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia causes the natural hair to be lightened providing a blank canvas for the dye ammonia opens the hair shaft pores so that the dye can actually diffuse inside the fiber these dye intermediates and coupler compounds can undergo oxidation and coupling reaction as shown in the scheme below to form high molecular weight products which are trapped in the hair matrix and cannot be readily removed through washing
henna is an orange dye commonly used as a deposit only hair color whose active component lawsone binds to keratin it is therefore considered semi permanent to permanent depending on a person s hair type most people will achieve a permanent color from henna especially after the second dye with repeated use the orange color builds up into red and then auburn while natural henna is generally a red color variations exist these variations usually contain ingredients from other plants and even synthetic dyes

bjelland was raised in woodburn a small town north of salem which she described as predominantly orthodox russians and hispanics so being white more like being a minority we lived at the edge of town so there was complete wilderness behind us bjelland s stepfather subsequently remarried after which she claimed to have been physically and verbally abused by his wife you know i really hate to talk about it because she s great now but in my childhood she was very abusive bjelland said it probably did help my creativity a lot though i was always grounded i hate to talk about it because i feel like she doesn t think that she did it but she was and it influenced my life quite a great deal

after joining the special mission to russia for alexander ii s accession lord cavendish of keighley as he was styled at the time entered parliament in the 1857 general election when he was returned for north lancashire as a liberal his title lord hartington by which he became known in 1858 was a courtesy title as he was not a peer in his own right he was eligible to sit in the commons until he succeeded his father as duke of devonshire in 1891 between 1863 and 1874 lord hartington held various government posts including civil lord of the admiralty and under secretary of state for war under palmerston and earl russell in the 1868 general election he lost his seat having refused the lord lieutenancy of ireland he was made postmaster general without a seat in the cabinet the next year he re entered the commons having been returned for radnor in 1870 hartington reluctantly accepted the post of chief secretary for ireland in gladstone s first government
in 1875 the year following liberal defeat at a general election he succeeded william ewart gladstone as leader of the liberal opposition in the house of commons after the other serious contender w e forster had indicated that he was not interested in the post the following year however gladstone returned to active political life in the campaign against turkey s bulgarian atrocities the relative political fortunes of gladstone and hartington fluctuated gladstone was not popular at the time of benjamin disraeli s triumph at the congress of berlin but the midlothian campaigns of 1879 80 marked him out as the liberals foremost public campaigner
in 1884 he was instrumental in persuading gladstone to send a mission to khartoum for the relief of general gordon which arrived two days too late to save him a considerable number of the conservative party long held him chiefly responsible for the betrayal of gordon his lethargic manner apart from his position as war minister helped to associate him in their minds with a disaster which emphasized the fact that the government acted too late but gladstone and lord granville were no less responsible than he
hartington became increasingly uneasy with gladstone s irish policies especially after the murder of his younger brother lord frederick cavendish in phoenix park after being elected in december 1885 for the newly created rossendale division of lancashire he broke with gladstone altogether he declined to serve in gladstone s third government formed after gladstone came out in favour of irish home rule unlike joseph chamberlain who accepted the local government board but then resigned and after opposing the first home rule bill became the leader of the liberal unionists after the general election of 1886 hartington declined to become prime minister preferring instead to hold the balance of power in the house of commons and give support from the back benches to the second conservative government of lord salisbury early in 1887 after the resignation of lord randolph churchill salisbury offered to step down and serve in a government under hartington who now declined the premiership for the third time instead the liberal unionist george goschen accepted the exchequer in churchill s place
having succeeded as duke of devonshire in 1891 and entered the house of lords where in 1893 he formally moved for the rejection of the second home rule bill devonshire eventually joined salisbury s third government in 1895 as lord president of the council devonshire was not asked to become prime minister when lord salisbury retired in favour of his nephew arthur balfour in 1902 he resigned from the government in 1903 and from the liberal unionist association the following spring in protest at joseph chamberlain s tariff reform scheme devonshire said of chamberlain s proposals
i venture to express the opinion that will find among the projects and plans which he will be called upon to discuss none containing a more socialistic principle than that which is embodied in his own scheme which whether it can properly be described as a scheme of protection or not is certainly a scheme under which the state is to undertake to regulate the course of commerce and of industry and tell us where we are to buy where we are to sell what commodities we are to manufacture at home and what we may continue if we think right to import from other countries
balfour trying to juggle different factions had allowed both chamberlain and free trade supporters to resign from the government hoping that devonshire would remain for the sake of balance but the latter eventually resigned under pressure from charles thomson ritchie and from his wife who still hoped that he might lead a government including leading liberals but in the autumn of 1907 his health gave way and grave symptoms of cardiac weakness necessitated his abstaining from public effort and spending the winter abroad he died rather suddenly at cannes on 24 march 1908
upon receiving news of the duke s death the house of lords took the unprecedented step of adjourning in his honour margot asquith said the duke of devonshire was a man whose like we shall never see again he stood by himself and could have come from no country in the world but england he had the figure and appearance of an artisan with the brevity of a peasant the courtesy of a king and the noisy sense of humour of a falstaff he gave a great wheezy guffaw at all the right things and was possessed of endless wisdom he was perfectly disengaged from himself fearlessly truthful and without pettiness of any kind
historian jonathan parry claimed that he inherited the whig belief in the duty of political leadership afforced by the intellectual notions characteristic of well educated propertied early to mid victorian liberals a confidence that the application of free trade rational public administration scientific enquiry and a patriotic defence policy would promote britain s international greatness in which he strongly believed and her economic and social progress he became a model of the dutiful aristocrat it has been said that he was the best excuse that the last half century has produced for the continuance of the peerages

gregor and the prophecy of bane received critical acclaim especially for its treatment of difficult issues in a way that is accessible for young readers voya reviewer nancy k wallace notes the discussions of revenge murder and betrayal she remarks on how gregor is prepared to heartlessly slaughter the bane yet overcomes his hatred for the rats that killed his sister but must still face charges of treason for his apparent betrayal of his duties timnah card of the bulletin of the center for children s books describes how gregor is disturbed to discover his unsuspected capacities as a warrior in a similar way the book s kirkus reviews review notes the way that humor and terror alternate throughout the story the children s cooperative book center ccbc of the university of wisconsin madison wrote scenes range from fast to funny to deliciously frightening gregor also faces several moral choices as in the first volume of the underland chronicles there is plenty of humor and plenty of intense action in this riveting fast paced novel
more generally school library journal said this is a strong choice for fantasy fans including reluctant readers even if they re not familiar with gregor s first adventure kathy l fiedler of the kutztown university book review called the novel a hit with young readers especially those who ve enjoyed the city of ember by jeanne duprau several critics including publishers weekly lauded the novel specifically as a sequel to the well received gregor the overlander wallace calls gregor and the prophecy of bane a welcome sequel going on to state that on the last page the scene is skillfully set for sequels the horn book magazine similarly stated gregor s fans will cheer the promise of future visits on a more negative note peg glisson writes for children s literature that those who have not read the first gregor will be at a slight disadvantage collins tries to weave necessary details from gregor s first visit to the underworld into this one but it definitely slows the early chapters down and is not completely satisfying ed sullivan of booklist claims fans will not be disappointed with this exciting action packed sequel although he also warns readers unfamiliar with the first novel will be at a disadvantage collins assumes knowledge of the characters and developments from the first book
the ccbc also praised the book for its portrayal of strong and healthy sibling relationships as it the saga of two contemporary siblings navigating their way through unfamiliar territory card says gregor s parents inability to care for their children after the return of his father in the first book sets the stage for this second journey in which the counsel of adults is well meant but morally ambiguous and gregor s own wisdom must carry the day that continuing realism wraps the mile a minute adventure in a satisfyingly complex political and social network and provides the whole with a compelling emotional foundation throughout the motivations and growth of individual characters drive the action glisson writes as well of how gregor has matured since his last adventure and learns to deal with the fact that he is a rager a deadly and efficient fighter

the great turkish war began in july 1683 with an attack on vienna by the ottoman army the siege was broken by the battle of vienna on 12 september won by the combined forces of the holy roman empire of the german nations and the polish lithuanian commonwealth under the overall command of the king of poland john iii sobieski who led the polish forces from september the initiative passed to the imperial troops in the following years the imperial habsburg armies under charles of lorraine drove the ottomans back conquering many fortresses such as esztergom v c pest after the battle of buda they laid siege to and took over the former hungarian capital of buda at the end of 1686 the ottomans made peace overtures however the imperial habsburgs saw a chance to conquer the whole of hungary and the overtures were rejected
in april 1687 it was decided in vienna that further military action should be taken the main army of about 40 000 troops under the command of duke charles of lorraine proceeded along the river danube to osijek on the river drava while another army of about 20 000 men under the command of elector max emanuel of bavaria moved along the river tisza to szolnok and towards petrovaradin in the middle of july the two imperial armies met on the danube and either marched overland or along the drava to osijek
in contrast the ottoman army of about 60 000 men under the command of the grand vizier sari s leyman pa a stayed in front of the main river drava crossing with its 8 km long wooden bridge at osijek in order to protect it and then fortified this position when the imperial habsburg army arrived the river drava divided the two sides at the end of july the imperial habsburg army was able to make a bridgehead on the shores of the river and stood in battle array to challenge the ottomans however the ottoman army remained passive and was satisfied with artillery bombardments of the weirs on the drava the bridges and the riverside
as the duke of lorraine realized he was not able to attack the fortified ottoman camp he decided to leave the bridgehead after a few days for this he was criticized both by his own sub commanders and by the emperor leopold i the move was interpreted by the ottoman grand vizier as a sign of a loss of morale by the habsburg troops so he decided to follow them in early august the osman army drove the habsburg army back toward moh cs and an ottoman fortified position the ottomans had also built a fortified position at darda hidden among the thick bushes so that it was not visible to the habsburg army for this reason duke charles of lorraine did not suspect the presence of the ottoman army in the vicinity
on the morning of 12 august the duke of lorraine decided to move to sikl s because the position and the hard ground there made it more appropriate as a battleground the habsburg right wing moving westward began to march through a densely forested area sari s leyman pa a decided that this was just the chance he was waiting for he ordered an attack with his entire army on the imperial army s left wing which under maximilian ii emanuel elector of bavaria was still in its earlier position and which according to the habsburg battle plan was also to start marching west the ottoman army caught the imperial army near nagyhars ny and the nearby nagyhars ny hill with its heavily wooded steep slopes their cavalry consisting of 8000 sipahis tried to outflank this habsburg army wing from the left the commander of the wing the elector of bavaria immediately sent a courier to the duke of lorraine informing him that this wing was under threat orders were given and sent quickly and positions were taken immediately to resist the attack of the superior ottoman forces which had twice the number as the imperial forces the imperial infantry held their position and gen enea silvio piccolomini with some of his cavalry regiments successfully counterattacked and stopped the advance of the ottoman sipahi cavalry
the ottoman grand vizier was surprised by this unexpectedly fierce resistance and ordered the cessation of the ottoman attack the ottoman artillery continued to shell the habsburg positions but the infantry and cavalry troops were ordered to hold their positions and the infantry to go defensive behind the fortifications this relative lull in fighting gave the right wing of the habsburg army enough time to return to its original position the duke of lorraine initially thought that his army should defend the positions which might have led to a relative standstill however to gain the initiative the elector of bavaria and the margrave louis of baden baden persuaded him to order a large scale counterattack the deployment of the habsburg army for this counterattack was finished at 3 00 pm at that same time sari s leyman pa a decided to attack again alongside mustafa pasha of rodosto the commander of the janissary again sipahis supported the janissary infantry frontal attack by attempting to outflank the habsburg army margrave of baden baden successfully resisted the attack with his infantry squadrons and then went on to attack the still unfinished ottoman defensive position at the forefront of this imperial penetrative attack on the ottoman fortifications were troops under the command of the generals rabutin and eugene of savoy the ottoman cavalry could not outflank them because the steep terrain was difficult for their horses they had to dismount the ottoman attack and then resistance collapsed and this led to a retreat of the ottoman army in a wild flight the battle became a crushing defeat for the ottomans
the losses of the habsburg army were very light about 600 men the ottoman army suffered huge losses with an estimated 10 000 dead as well as the loss of most of its artillery about 66 guns and much of its support equipment the splendid command tent of the grand vizier and 160 ottoman flags fell into imperial hands it is reported that the value of the share of the bounty that was given to the elector of bavaria surpassed two million golden ducats

sk started in the third league of the belgrade league system but in 1928 managed to promoted to the second belgrade league where the club was able to keep several seasons in the season 1931 32 sk became champion and thus played from the next season in the belgrad b league which they gained finally in 1935 so the club celebrated its first decade of existence with championship success during this first period of success especially striker aleksandar petrovi called pikavac was one of the most important figures of the club coming from palilulac belgrade in 1932 he played in sk until 1936 when he was transferred to sk jugoslavija one of the major national clubs as a member of the yugoslav national team he is remembered as one of the best dribblers of kingdom of yugoslavia
in 1936 sk entered to the belgrade first a league which was one of the yugoslav second league s at that time but relegated after two years the generational change in the squad is considered to be the reason for such a bad season but after only one year the club was back and won immediately the championship however in that season the club was merged with fk istra a move that was not supported by many members of the direction board and much less among the players because of this local popularity fell and the vast majority of the players moved to neighbouring clubs banovac maki and e eranac this made a stagnation in the club and during the following seasons the club did not compete in any level until 1942
in 1948 playing in the belgrade second league which was the 6th tier of the newly formed league system of the socialist yugoslavia the club finished 4th it was coached by jovan veselinovi and the squad was formed mostly by experienced older players in 1950 51 with an already renovated squad it finishes third and qualified to the belgrade first league where it also finished third achieving promotion to the 1953 54 belgrade podsavezna league the national fourth tier where they finished third again led by the coach ikica spasojevi and striker petar popovi they archived the promotion to the 1954 55 serbian league the third tier
in summer 1955 vule radosavljevi was made the main coach however the club ended the first half of the season at bottom radosavljevi was replaced by dragomir kojadinovi and there were also changes at club direction board which may have contributed to a comeback with the team finishing the season in 8th place this earned them participation in the pley off for the yugoslav second league however they failed to qualify in 1955 56 many players left the club and led by coach brana a imovi they finished 2nd in the belgrade podsavezna league 1956 is the year of the beginning of the fall as many important club players retired in that period
also numerous club directions and coaches succeeded so the club played constantly in belgrade leagues great achievement was brought on to the club ten years later in the 1966 67 season when they finished first in the second belgrade league and won the belgrade cup the same year they were promoted to the serbian league where they were constantly on top so these seasons the club competed for promotion to the yugoslav second league which he reached as a champion of the 1971 72 season there ukari ki held for several years but did not succeed to promotion to the yugoslav first league
in the early 1990s the club played again in the third tier and between 1993 and 1995 in the second league of the federal republic of yugoslavia in the 1994 95 season the club managed finally for the first time in its history the promotion to the first league where they played until 1998 in the yugoslav cup in 1995 ukari ki came into the quarterfinals and also competed in the uefa intertoto cup in 1996 and 1997 their biggest success during this period came in the 1999 00 season when they finished 6th in the first league in which 21 teams participated the club remained till 2003 in the first division
after four years in the first league ukari ki relegate in 2003 although succeeded in 2004 as champion of the group west the direct re promotion the club relegated again in 2005 ukari ki was renamed in the early 2000s as the serbian company stankom dedicated as the main sponsor and funder therefore the club was known for a long time under the name ukari ki stankom by the arrival of stankom the club was stabilized so they improved the organization increased the stadium capacity to 7 000 and also brought a better financial situation in 2007 ukari ki finally reached the top division the serbian superliga
also in the second league ukari ki was not very successful with 41 points they were equal on points with banat zrenjanin and radni ki sombor because of the direct comparison between all three teams only radni ki sombor had to join the 3rd league as 15th of the final table the club was in a very difficult financial situation and was on the verge of bankruptcy however the year 2011 marked a turning point as the construction and wholesale company adoc which operates in the pharmacy diagnostics and construction industry bought up ukari ki and immediately invested in the club making ukari ki the first professional football club in serbia which was privatized and also one of the few clubs in southeast europe which are privately owned
the jackson 5 version of hum along and dance appeared as the closing track for side a of their 1973 album the lead vocals are primarily handled by jackie jackson and tito jackson with michael jackson and marlon jackson appearing towards the end although the jackson brothers are heard yelling out play it tito and play it jermaine the actual instrumentalists on the track were los angeles studio players motown did not allow the jacksons to play their own instruments or write and produce their own material and the lack of creative freedom would cause the group to leave for cbs records within two years of making this recording
this version of hum along and dance is stylistically similar to the rare earth version and features nearly the same arrangement with more of an electric funk sound added to the mix a bewildered marlon jackson is heard asking upon hearing the song s chorus ain t no words what you mean his bandmate and brother tito jackson replies as he has been doing throughout the song by reiterating gil bridges reasoning we ain t have time to write none jackie jackson is heard answering as well telling michael jackson what to do this version was sampled by the bomb squad for public enemy s 1989 track prophets of rage
contact between the achomawi and atsugewi speakers with the klamath and modoc to the north largely wasn t documented despite this garth found it probable that there were extensive interactions between the cultures prior to the adoption of horses by the northerners leslie spier concluded that the klamath and their modoc relatives gained horses in the 1820s atsugewi settlements were likely attacked primarily by modoc outsahone was applied to both the klamath and modoc peoples captured people would be sold into slavery at an intertribal slave market at the dalles in present day oregon
atsugewi manufactured bows were prized by the neighboring klamath paiute modoc and achomawi called dumidiyi the bows were of a similar design to those made by the yurok the best dumidiyi were made of yew wood by the atsuge as fairly peaceable relations developed with paiute groups by 1870 these yew bows became a common trade item the visiting paiute would bring stockpiles of buckskins red ochre glass beads guns and especially shell currency created from olivella biplicata shells in central and southern california in return these trading goods were exchanged for atsugewi basket and bow goods
the tolowa shasta yurok klamath atsugewi and groups of western mono and paiute were among those known to have adopted buckskin clothing from the distant plains indians for the astugewi this relatively new clothing was called dw kawi they did not employ a system of consistently smoking the fresh skins only buckskins for formal occasions were smoked leaving daily worn buckskins prone to water damage the astugewi potentially did not recognise the water resistance given the smoking process garth conjectured that the treating the buckskins with smoke was a recent development having a close connection with the introduction of buckskin clothing itself but lacked direct evidence of this trend

unfortunately reidgotaland was struck with bad crops and starvation the go ar heathen priests determined that they must sacrifice the most noble young man of the kingdom to odin in order to restore good crops immediately people started to quarrel about which of the princes was the most noble and so they asked king h fund of gl sisvellir king h fund decided that it was angantyr his own grandson who was the most noble prince h fund also told heidrek to ask king harald that in recompense for sacrificing his own son he should receive half the gothic army as his own king harald agreed to this
the name is derived from the old english beonet feld and means open land where bent grass grows the surrounding forest was cleared after the enclosure act of 1813 when forestal rights were abolished and people bought parcels of land for agriculture it was at this point that villages like binfield expanded when there was work for farm labourers the local hundred of beynhurst has a similar derivation billingbear is the north western portion of binfield parish although billingbear park near shurlock row is over the border in the parish of waltham st lawrence
binfield house similar in appearance to horace walpole s strawberry hill house near twickenham grade ii listed was built in 1776 and for nearly 150 years was rented out to a number of tenants including the well known historian catharine macaulay whose work was greatly admired by the 1st american president george washington and in 1788 she travelled to america to visit him in the mid 19th century the house was used for at least 35 years as a small school in 1928 it was purchased by lady knox who with her husband major general knox rebuilt and greatly extended the house under the guidance of the architect nugent cachemaille day binfield house was sold in 1974 to the then bracknell district council early maps show the much larger binfield park as binfield house so the name of binfield house may have been different in the late 18th and into the middle part of the 19th century although the map of 1883 certainly confirms the use of the name by then previously the house may have been called wyhtwicks after its builder
from the late 19th century to the 1960s brick making was an important industry in the area with the binfield brick and tile works at amen corner being an important employer this is now the site of the coppid beech hotel and the john nike leisuresport complex the presence of large houses in the area most of them without estates to support them meant that many tradesmen could make a living in the village and binfield continued to flourish until the development of bracknell new town binfield bricks were partly used to create the celebrated royal albert hall
binfield has a cricket club binfield cc founded in 1865 they celebrated their 150th anniversary by hosting an mcc x1 and paying a return fixture at lord s they became champions of the morrants chiltern league for the very first time in 2009 the village has a football team founded by the brick makers of the village in 1892 binfield f c is a step 5 fa community standard club with 32 teams from under 7s to veterans including girls teams the first team played in the fa cup for the first time in season 2009 10 after being promoted to the hellenic league premier division from division 1 east which they won in 2008 09 the first team won the am print copy floodlit cup in april 2012
the village has four main parks one at wicks green one at silver jubilee fields one at popes meadow and the fourth at foxley fields next to binfield primary school the park at wicks green has a trim trail around the perimeter and a cableway the play area has recently been refurbished with a large swing climbing blocks and multi purpose frame all designed for older children silver jubilee fields is next to wicks green separated by a pond at the northern side of these fields is an area of specimen trees including black walnut pin oak white berried elderberry and persian ironwood there is also a small play area for younger children which includes swings and a climbing frame popes meadow a green flag park has large grassed areas a large pond and a small play park for younger children foxley fields has three all weather tennis courts which are managed by the binfield tennis association and a play area with a climbing frame spinner and swings for the older children and teenagers there is an all weather pitch with basketball hoops integral cricket stumps and markings for several games recently a brand new play area has been installed at foxley fields with a trampoline a tunnel a climbing rock various swings and a bridge and stepping stones
but if queen anne was capable of acts of clemency towards individual catholics she showed no compromise to catholics in general in 1706 she made it a treasonable offence to convert anyone to catholicism she ordered the enforcement of the laws against catholics and had a census made of the number of papists in every parish with their qualities estates and places of abode the catholic population of the thames valley area remained fairly static at about 1 per cent in berkshire for example there were 293 known or suspected catholics in the city of oxford there were fourteen
a tourist asks george to watch his luggage when he doesn t return george starts wearing the clothing from the bag causing him to be mistaken for a tourist by mary anne a woman who works for the visitor s center george pretends he s visiting from little rock arkansas where he works as a hen supervisor for the tyler chicken company so that she will be responsible for making date plans mary anne tells george she doesn t want a relationship since he ll be leaving soon he tells her he s thinking of moving to new york she replies that the city would eat alive george sets out to prove her wrong by showing her his apartment and new york yankees office steinbrenner enters george s office and mary anne mentions george s job with tyler chicken steinbrenner phones the ceo of tyler chicken to say he doesn t want to share george tyler doesn t know who george is but reasons that he must be important for steinbrenner to call him so he offers to convert all yankees concessions to chicken free of charge in exchange for george working exclusively at tyler chicken
while eating the top off a muffin at j peterman s book signing elaine tells mr lippman who is publishing the book that someone should open a store selling just the tops lippman starts a business called top of the muffin to you when the business starts to fail lippman asks elaine for advice in exchange for 30 of the profits she tells him that he must make the whole muffin then pop the top from the stump and give the stumps to the homeless shelter but after complaints about the muffin stumps the shelter refuses to take them
elaine confesses to kramer that the stories he sold to j peterman were put into peterman s biography kramer goes to the book signing claiming he s the real peterman and is kicked out he then starts conducting the peterman reality tour on a school bus for 37 50 kramer asks jerry and alex to take the tour elaine asks kramer to get rid of the muffin stumps on his tour kramer prolongs the tour into the night searching in vain for a dump that will take the muffin stumps as the full moon comes out jerry s chest begins itching from hair growth he runs off the bus and into the forest to scratch his chest howling like a werewolf at the relief
the peterman reality tour was based on kenny kramer s real life kramer s reality tour the original script had a completely different elaine story involving kramer acquiring a police scanner and using it to eavesdrop on his neighbors elaine then used info obtained from the police scanner against her boyfriend two days before filming an episode of frasier used a similar story so writer spike feresten quickly came up with the muffin tops story as a replacement inspired by a girlfriend named laurie who only ate the tops of muffins
finite groups of lie type were among the first groups to be considered in mathematics after cyclic symmetric and alternating groups with the projective special linear groups over prime finite fields psl 2 p being constructed by variste galois in the 1830s the systematic exploration of finite groups of lie type started with camille jordan s theorem that the projective special linear group psl 2 q is simple for q 2 3 this theorem generalizes to projective groups of higher dimensions and gives an important infinite family psl n q of finite simple groups other classical groups were studied by leonard dickson in the beginning of 20th century in the 1950s claude chevalley realized that after an appropriate reformulation many theorems about semisimple lie groups admit analogues for algebraic groups over an arbitrary field k leading to construction of what are now called chevalley groups moreover as in the case of compact simple lie groups the corresponding groups turned out to be almost simple as abstract groups tits simplicity theorem although it was known since 19th century that other finite simple groups exist for example mathieu groups gradually a belief formed that nearly all finite simple groups can be accounted for by appropriate extensions of chevalley s construction together with cyclic and alternating groups moreover the exceptions the sporadic groups share many properties with the finite groups of lie type and in particular can be constructed and characterized based on their geometry in the sense of tits
the finite simple groups can be seen as the basic building blocks of all finite groups in a way reminiscent of the way the prime numbers are the basic building blocks of the natural numbers the jordan h lder theorem is a more precise way of stating this fact about finite groups however a significant difference with respect to the case of integer factorization is that such building blocks do not necessarily determine uniquely a group since there might be many non isomorphic groups with the same composition series or put in another way the extension problem does not have a unique solution
for every positive integer n most groups of order n are solvable to see this for any particular order is usually not difficult for example there is up to isomorphism one non solvable group and 12 solvable groups of order 60 but the proof of this for all orders uses the classification of finite simple groups for any positive integer n there are at most two simple groups of order n and there are infinitely many positive integers n for which there are two non isomorphic simple groups of order n
there are a variety of group formats for the baris dance including baris gde baris keris baris omang baris perisi and baris dadap these dances are accompanied by different types of music and involve different movements dancers may carry a variety of weapons including a kris a spear a bow or other weapons often dances are named after the weapons carried the performances may or may not attempt to convey a story all however are considered sacral and used for religious ceremonies and events

ezekiel 9 4 depicts a vision in which the tav plays a passover role similar to the blood on the lintel and doorposts of a hebrew home in egypt in ezekiel s vision the lord has his angels separate the demographic wheat from the chaff by going through jerusalem the capital city of ancient israel and inscribing a mark a tav upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof
the pt 19 series was developed from the fairchild m 62 when the usaac first ordered the aircraft in 1940 as part of its expansion program the cantilever low wing monoplane with fixed landing gear and tailwheel design was based on a two place tandem seat open cockpit arrangement the simple but rugged construction included a fabric covered welded steel tube fuselage the remainder of the aircraft used plywood construction with a plywood sheathed center section outer wing panels and tail assembly the use of an inline engine allowed for a narrow frontal area which was ideal for visibility while the widely set apart fixed landing gear allowed for solid and stable ground handling
when a shortage of engines threatened production the pt 23 model was introduced which was identical except for the 220 hp continental r 670 radial powerplant a total of 869 pt 23s were built as well as 256 of the pt 23a which was the instrument flight equipped version the pt 23 was manufactured in the us by fairchild aeronca st louis aircraft corporation and howard aircraft corporation and in canada by fleet aircraft corporation as well as fabrica do galeao in brazil 220 or 232 between 1944 and 1948
during 1943 usaaf training command received a number of complaints about durability issues with the plywood wings of the pt 19 and the pt 23 when exposed to the high heat and or humidity of training bases located in texas and florida maintenance officers at the usaaf overhaul depots had been forced to order replacement of the wooden wing sections after only two to three months active service because of wood rot and ply separation issues subsequent to this incident the usaaf incorporated a demand for all metal wing sections on all future fixed wing training aircraft
compared to the earlier biplane trainers the fairchild pt 19 provided a more advanced type of aircraft speeds were higher and wing loading more closely approximated that of combat aircraft with flight characteristics demanding more precision and care its virtues were that it was inexpensive simple to maintain and most of all virtually viceless the pt 19 truly lived up to its nickname the cradle of heroes it was one of a handful of primary trainer designs that were the first stop on a cadet s way to becoming a combat pilot
in 1986 visitor numbers were at an all time low so geoffrey thompson owner of the park decided to give the ten acre site a complete overhaul this involved turning the park into frontierland which would hopefully see guests flock back to morecambe this worked for a few years but once again numbers dropped so in 1989 the sky ride was introduced a cable car system that would allow people to fly over the park and out over the promenade before turning around and going back to the station the ride was initially a big success and once again visitors flocked to the park in 1991 visitor numbers were back down to their low standard and investment was not being put into the park so freely as two previous attempts had backfired
in 1992 geoffrey thompson was about to make his biggest investment ever at blackpool pleasure beach by introducing the pepsi max big one a 12 million hyper coaster one ride which had stood at blackpool for over ten years was in the way of these plans with the construction of the big one due to start in late 1992 the space tower was to be removed so in 1993 frontierland received the space tower a gyro tower the ride was initially going to be placed at the back of the park but with the sponsorship from polo mints secured the ride was positioned on the front this resulted in a boost in visitor numbers but nowhere near what blackpool was about to get from opening their new roller coaster
the polo tower was the last major investment at frontierland however fans of the park believe that geoffrey thompson had no intention of shutting the park down as in 1993 with the installation of the tower he signed a contract allowing a telephone mast to be placed at the top of the tower this contract allowed the company to have their mast on the tower for 20 years meaning that the polo tower could not be taken down until the contract had expired
frontierland began to close in 1998 after 92 years of operation the demolition of the park was due to take three seasons to complete with the back of the park going first as the park began to shrink rides were sold and transported all over the world however the demolition of frontierland was never fully completed as the log flume and polo tower remained on site in 2009 the log flume was removed whilst the polo tower continued to remain in situ albeit with its gondola removed as its only purpose was to fulfill a contract for the positioning of a mobile phone mast at its peak
in 1998 when the park began to downsize the first ride to leave was the stampede roller coaster which had opened at the park in 1988 it was a standard roller coaster found at many parks and its subsequent location is unknown the ride was originally from blackpool pleasure beach where it operated as the cyclone the ride was removed in 1987 to make way for the avalanche another ride at the top of the park to be removed was the giant teacups which had been at the park for many years the teacups were extraordinary in both their size and in the fact that the base was entirely made of concrete and was sunk into the floor so that guests could simply walk onto the ride instead of having to step up onto it the ride was removed in 1998 with the floor being broken up and the cups being moved to pleasureland southport where they were never used they were disposed of in 2006 when pleasureland closed down however some remain on the southport zoo site hidden in the undergrowth
