Catholic_Church_in_France | The Catholic Church in France is part of the worldwide Catholic Church in communion with the Pope in Rome . Established in the 2nd century in unbroken communion with the bishop of Rome , it is sometimes called the `` eldest daughter of the church '' . The first written records of Christians in France date from the 2nd century when Irenaeus detailed the deaths of ninety-year-old bishop Pothinus of Lugdunum ( Lyon ) and other martyrs of the 177 persecution in Lyon . In 496 Remigius baptized Clovis I , who was converted from paganism to Catholicism . In 800 , Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire , forming the political and religious foundations of Christendom and establishing in earnest the French government 's longstanding historical association with the Catholic Church . The French Revolution ( 1789-1790 ) was followed by heavy persecution of the Catholic Church . The policy of laïcité marks the official policy of the Republic of France today . Today , it is estimated that between 41 % and 88 % of France 's population is Catholic , with the higher figure including lapsed Catholics and `` Catholic atheists '' . The Catholic Church in France is organised into 98 dioceses , which in 2012 were served by 7,000 sub-75 priests . 80 to 90 priests are ordained every year , when the church would need eight times as many to compensate the number of priest deaths . There are approximately 45,000 Catholic churches and chapels spread out among 36,500 cities and towns in France , but a majority are no longer regularly used for mass . Notable churches of France include Notre Dame de Paris , Chartres Cathedral , Reims Cathedral , and Basilique du Sacre-Coeur , Eglise de la Madeleine , and Amiens Cathedral . Its shrine , Lourdes , is visited by 5 million pilgrims yearly . The capital city , Paris , is a major pilgrimage site for Catholics as well . Some of the most famous French saints include St. Thérèse of Lisieux , St. Irenaeus , St. Jean-Marie Vianney the Curé of Ars , St. Joan of Arc , St. Bernadette , Louis IX of France , St. Vincent de Paul , St. Louise de Marillac , St. Catherine Labouré and St. Bernard of Clairvaux . |
Charles_II,_Duke_of_Lorraine | Charles II ( 11 September 1364 -- 25 January 1431 ) , called the Bold ( le Hardi ) was the Duke of Lorraine from 1390 to his death and Constable of France from 1418 to 1425 . Charles was the elder son of John I , Duke of Lorraine , and Sophie , daughter of Eberhard II , Count of Württemberg . He is called Charles II because of a previous Charles , Duke of Lower Lorraine , despite the fact that his own duchy was that of Upper Lorraine ; Lower Lorraine being subsumed in Brabant by his time . During his youth , he had been close to Philip II , Duke of Burgundy , they having been comrades in arms on several occasions . This proximity to Burgundy was largely a result of his father 's moving away from the French court , the court to which the Lorrainer dukes had neared in the past century and a half as they withdrew from the Holy Roman Empire , within which their duchy was still technically a vassal state . Charles was defiant of Louis I , Duke of Orléans , who had supported the citizens of Neufchâteau against his father and the Emperor Wenceslaus when the latter was accused by his subjects of weakness . Wenceslaus was deposed in 1400 and replaced by Rupert III , Count Palatine of the Rhine , Charles ' father-in-law . Charles was also a major participant in some late Crusading movements . He was at Tunis in 1391 . He took part in the so-called Last Crusade which culminated in the disastrous Battle of Nicopolis in 1396 . There he accompanied John the Fearless , the count of Nevers and son of his friend Philip . In 1399 , he assisted the Teutonic Knights in Livonia . Multiple times between 1405 and 1406 , the sergeants of the duke and the officers of the kings of France in certain enclaves ( French fiefs ) in Lorraine were at loggerheads and Louis of Orléans , who had received the pledges of the duke of Luxembourg , was trying to create a principality in the region . Then , in 1407 , at the head of a coalition of the dukes of Bar , Luxembourg , and the margraves of Namur he attacked the duchy . Louis was defeated at Corny-sur-Moselle and then , in July , at Champigneulles . His assassination in Paris on 23 November put an end to his plans . With the assassination of Louis , France broke down into two parties : the Armagnacs of Bernard VII , Count of Armagnac , the tutor of the young Charles of Orléans , and the Burgundians of John the Fearless , Philip 's successor , who supported Charles of Lorraine . Charles did not , however , enter the Anglo-French conflict then raging -- the Hundred Years ' War -- but his brother , Frederick I , Count of Vaudémont , got involved and died in the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 . Nevertheless , the queen , Isabeau of Bavaria , appointed Charles constable in 1418 . In 1424 , he asserted that the load was too large for him and renounced it . Charles adopted a new stance vis-à-vis France after the assassination of John the Fearless in 1419 . John 's successor , Philip III , had much territory in the Low Countries and only Lorraine and Champagne separated his Burgundian from his Belgian possessions . Fearing any warlike ambitions , Charles thought it prudent to reorient his fidelities and friendships away from such a possible adversary . Through his French connections , he obtained the assistance of Charles VII against Burgundy and married his daughter to the Angevin René , later king of Naples . Charles 's final years were rife with conflict and unhappiness . His nephew , Anthony of Vaudémont demanded a part of the inheritance and Charles had to war against him in 1425 , without much success . Early in 1429 , Joan of Arc came on a pilgrimage to Saint-Nicolas-de-Port . She counselled the duke to abandon his mistress , Alison du May . Ignoring this advice , he gave her an escort and sent her on to Chinon . He died two years later at his capital of Nancy on 21 or 25 January . |

Chariot | A chariot is a type of carriage driven by a charioteer using primarily horses to provide rapid motive power . Chariots were used by armies as transport or mobile archery platforms , for hunting or for racing , and as a conveniently fast way to travel for many ancient people . The word `` chariot '' comes from the Latin carrus , itself a loanword from Gaulish . A chariot of war or one used in military parades was called a car . In ancient Rome and some other ancient Mediterranean civilizations , a biga required two horses , a triga three , and a quadriga four . The horse chariot was a fast , light , open , two-wheeled conveyance drawn by two or more horses that were hitched side by side , and was little more than a floor with a waist-high guard at the front and sides . It was initially used for ancient warfare during the Bronze and Iron Ages ; but , after its military capabilities had been superseded by cavalry , as horses were gradually bred to be bigger , the chariot was used for travel , in processions , for games , and in races . The critical invention that allowed the construction of light , horse-drawn chariots was the spoked wheel . The earliest spoke-wheeled chariots date to ca. 2000 BCE . The use of chariots peaked around 1300 BCE ( see Battle of Kadesh ) . Chariots had lost their military importance by the 1st century CE , but chariot races continued to be popular in Constantinople until the 6th century . |
Childhood_memory | Childhood memory refers to memories formed during childhood . Among its other roles , memory functions to guide present behaviour and to predict future outcomes . Memory in childhood is qualitatively and quantitatively different from the memories formed and retrieved in late adolescence and the adult years . Childhood memory research is relatively recent in relation to the study of other types of cognitive processes underpinning behaviour . Understanding the mechanisms by which memories in childhood are encoded and later retrieved has important implications in many areas . Research into childhood memory includes topics such as childhood memory formation and retrieval mechanisms in relation to those in adults , controversies surrounding infantile amnesia and the fact that adults have relatively poor memories of early childhood , the ways in which school environment and family environment influence memory , and the ways in which memory can be improved in childhood to improve overall cognition , performance in school , and well-being , both in childhood and in adulthood . __ TOC __ |

Chicago_Pride_Parade | The Chicago Pride Parade , also colloquially ( and formerly ) called the Chicago Gay Pride Parade or PRIDE Chicago , is the annual pride parade held on the last Sunday of June in Chicago , Illinois in the United States . It is considered the culmination of the larger Gay and Lesbian Pride Month , as promulgated by the Chicago City Council and Mayor of Chicago . Chicago 's Pride Parade is one of the largest , by attendance , in the world . The first parade was organized on Saturday , June 27 , 1970 , as a march from Washington Square Park ( `` Bughouse Square '' ) to the Water Tower at the intersection of Michigan and Chicago avenues , which was the route originally planned , and then many of the participants extemporaneously marched on to the Civic Center ( now Richard J. Daley ) Plaza . Today the parade takes place through the main streets of Lake View East , a neighborhood enclave of the Lakeview community area . Recent parades have started at noon on Halsted Street , proceeding north from Belmont Avenue , passing the Center on Halsted at Waveland Avenue ; south on Broadway ( at Grace Street ) to Diversey Parkway and east on Diversey Parkway to Cannon Drive . The parade route will begin in the Uptown neighborhood at the corner of Broadway and Montrose . The parade will then proceed south down Broadway to Halsted , continue south on Halsted to Belmont , then east on Belmont to Broadway where it will resume its former route . With the increasing political participation of gay , lesbian , bisexual and transgender Americans and the community 's relatively high financial resources through political action groups and as individual donors , Illinois politicians have increased their presence at the Chicago Pride Parade . Both the Illinois Democratic and Republican parties have been heavily represented , most noticeably by former Governor Rod Blagojevich , a Democrat , and former Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka , a Republican . Both had strong support from many gay and lesbian voters . On June 28 , 2009 more than 500,000 spectators watched the 40th annual Chicago Pride Parade . Among the entries were several marching bands , dance troupes , twirlers , and many political figures . The 2010 parade featured an appearance from the Chicago Blackhawks ' Brent Sopel and The Stanley Cup as part of the Chicago Gay Hockey Association 's float . Sopel appeared in the parade to honor Brendan Burke , the gay son of the Maple Leafs ' GM Brian Burke . The 2011 parade included 250 entries and was attended by over 800,000 spectators , almost double the previous year , causing massive overcrowding and resulted in a reorganization of the parade route for the 2012 parade . |

The book offers an in-depth account of Ion Creangă 's early life in what was then the state of Moldavia , with much insight into the social landscape of his childhood universe , describing relationships between its hero , mainly referred to with his hypocorism and patronymic Nică al lui Ștefan a Petrei or Nic-a lui Ștefan a Petrei ( `` Nică of Ștefan of Petru '' ) , and the various people in his life . It traces Nică 's coming of age passage , from an idyllic age spent the remote village of Humulești ( now part of Târgu Neamț town ) to rebellious adolescence and training for a Romanian Orthodox priesthood in the urban centers of Fălticeni and Iași . The narrative flow is often interrupted by lengthy and characteristic soliloquies , imparting Creangă 's worldview and regrets . The text itself is noted for its characteristic use of the Romanian lexis , including its accomplished rendition of Moldavian dialectal particularities . Childhood Memories went through several editions since its 1890s reprint , and came to be seen as a classic of local children 's literature . It was an inspiration for several authors , and was the basis for Elisabeta Bostan 's 1964 film Amintiri din copilărie . |
Channel_bank | In telecommunications , a channel bank is a device that performs multiplexing or demultiplexing ( `` demux '' ) of a group of communications channels , such as analog or digital telephone lines , into one channel of higher bandwidth or higher digital bit rate , such as a DS-1 ( T1 ) circuit , so that all the channels can be sent simultaneously over a single cable called a trunkline . A channel bank may be located in a telephone exchange , or in an enterprise 's telephone closet or enclosure where it `` breaks out '' individual telephone lines from a high-capacity telephone trunk line connected to the central telephone office , or the enterprise 's PBX system . A working example in the finance industry is to provide several automatic ringdown ( ARD ) lines over a single T-1 . |

Character_structure | A character structure is a system of secondary traits that are manifested in the specific ways that an individual relates and reacts to others , to various kinds of stimuli , and to the environment . A child whose nurture and/or education cause them to have conflict between legitimate feelings , living in a illogical environment and interacting with adults who do not take the long-term interests of the child to heart will be more likely to form these secondary traits . In this manner the child blocks the unwanted emotional reaction that would have normally occurred . Although this may serve the child well while in that dysfunctional environment , it may also cause the child to react in inappropriate ways , by developing alternate ways in which the energy compulsively surfaces , ways damaging to his or her own interests , when interacting with people in a completely independent environment . Major trauma that occurs later in life , even in adulthood , can sometimes have a profound effect on character . See post-traumatic stress disorder . However , character may also develop in a positive way according to how the individual meets the psychosocial challenges of the life cycle ( Erikson ) . |
Chinese_paper_folding | Chinese paper folding , or zhezhi , is the art of paper folding that originated in China . The work of Akira Yoshizawa widely popularized the Japanese name `` origami '' ; however , in China and other Chinese speaking places , the art is referred to by the Chinese name , zhezhi . Traditional Chinese paper folding concentrates mainly on objects like boats or hats rather than the animals and flowers of Japanese origami . A recent innovation is Golden Venture where large representational objects are made from modular forms . |

Chondrite | Chondrites are stony ( non-metallic ) meteorites that have not been modified due to melting or differentiation of the parent body . They are formed when various types of dust and small grains that were present in the early solar system accreted to form primitive asteroids . They are the most common type of meteorite that falls to Earth with estimates for the proportion of the total fall that they represent varying between 85.7 % and 86.2 % . Their study provides important clues for understanding the origin and age of the Solar System , the synthesis of organic compounds , the origin of life or the presence of water on Earth . One of their characteristics is the presence of chondrules , which are round grains formed by distinct minerals , that normally constitute between 20 % and 80 % of a chondrite by volume . Chondrites can be differentiated from iron meteorites due to their low iron and nickel content . Other non-metallic meteorites , achondrites , which lack chondrules , were formed more recently . There are currently over 27,000 chondrites in the world 's collections . The largest individual stone ever recovered , weighing 1770 kg , was part of the Jilin meteorite shower of 1976 . Chondrite falls range from single stones to extraordinary showers consisting of thousands of individual stones , as occurred in the Holbrook fall of 1912 , where an estimated 14,000 stones rained down on northern Arizona . |

Cats_Under_the_Stars | Cats Under the Stars is an album by the Jerry Garcia Band . Released in 1978 , it is the only studio album credited to the band . It was Jerry Garcia 's first album on the Arista label and his first LP using the band name Jerry Garcia Band . It includes only one song that was performed by the Grateful Dead . Keith and Donna Godchaux , who were at the time members of the Garcia Band , contributed to the music . The album was the first to be recorded at the Grateful Dead 's Club Front in San Rafael , a warehouse space that had been acquired for band rehearsals and then converted to a studio . Garcia explained '' -LSB- Ron -RSB- Tutt liked the drum sound in the room and we had n't really thought about it before , so we whipped the place into a recording studio . '' The record was not a financial success , but it remained Garcia 's favorite , as he said in an interview in the late 1980s : `` The record I worked hardest at and liked best was Cats Under the Stars . That was kind of like my baby . It did worse than any other record I ever did . I think I probably gave away more copies than I sold . It was amazingly , pathetically bad . But I 've learned not to invest a lot of importance in 'em , although it 's nice to care about your work . '' On another occasion in the early 80s he said `` Cats Under the Stars is my favorite one . That 's the one that I 'm happiest with , from every point of view in which I operate on that record . We did all those tunes on tour right after the album came out , with John and Maria , Keith and Donna and I think Ronnie Tutt was still playing drums with us on those first few tours . '' ( Although Ron Tutt played on the album , he left the band before the album was releaed and was replaced by Buzz Buchanan . ) In the early 90s he still thought well of the album : `` As far as I 'm concerned Cats Under the Stars is my most successful record -- even though it 's my least successful record ! I 've always loved it and it just never went anywhere . '' In an interview with Joel Selvin he was more succinct ; '' -LSB- Cats Under the Stars '' -RSB- had everything -- chops , production , songs . '' |
Causality | Causality ( also referred to as causation , or cause and effect ) is the agency or efficacy that connects one process ( the cause ) with another process or state ( the effect ) , where the first is understood to be partly responsible for the second , and the second is dependent on the first . In general , a process has many causes , which are said to be causal factors for it , and all lie in its past . An effect can in turn be a cause of many other effects . Although retrocausality is sometimes referred to in thought experiments and hypothetical analyses , causality is generally accepted to be temporally bound so that causes always precede their dependent effects ( although in some contexts such as economics they may coincide in time ; see Instrumental variable for how this is dealt with econometrically ) . Causality is an abstraction that indicates how the world progresses , so basic a concept that it is more apt as an explanation of other concepts of progression than as something to be explained by others more basic . The concept is like those of agency and efficacy . For this reason , a leap of intuition may be needed to grasp it . Accordingly , causality is built into the conceptual structure of ordinary language . In Aristotelian philosophy , the word 'cause ' is also used to mean ` explanation ' or ` answer to a why question ' , including Aristotle 's material , formal , efficient , and final `` causes '' ; then the `` cause '' is the explanans for the explanandum . In this case , failure to recognize that different kinds of `` cause '' are being considered can lead to futile debate . Of Aristotle 's four explanatory modes , the one nearest to the concerns of the present article is the `` efficient '' one . The topic remains a staple in contemporary philosophy . While studying of meaning of causality semantics traditionally appeal to the chicken or the egg causality dilemma , i.e. `` which came first , the chicken or the egg ? '' . Then it allocates its constituent elements : a cause , an effect and link itself , that joins both of them . |
Charlemagne | Charlemagne ( -LSB- ˈʃɑːrlᵻmeɪn -RSB- ) or Charles the Great ( 2 April 742/747/74828 January 814 ) , numbered Charles I , was the King of the Franks from 768 , King of the Lombards from 774 and Emperor of the Romans from 800 . He united much of Europe during the early Middle Ages . He was the first recognised emperor in western Europe since the fall of the Western Roman Empire three centuries earlier . The expanded Frankish state that Charlemagne founded was called the Carolingian Empire . Charlemagne was the oldest son of Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon . He became king in 768 following his father 's death , initially as co-ruler with his brother Carloman I. Carloman 's sudden death in 771 in unexplained circumstances left Charlemagne as the undisputed ruler of the Frankish Kingdom . He continued his father 's policy towards the papacy and became its protector , removing the Lombards from power in northern Italy and leading an incursion into Muslim Spain . He campaigned against the Saxons to his east , Christianising them upon penalty of death and leading to events such as the Massacre of Verden . Charlemagne reached the height of his power in 800 when he was crowned Emperor of the Romans by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day at Old St. Peter 's Basilica . Charlemagne has been called the `` Father of Europe '' ( Pater Europae ) , as he united most of Western Europe for the first time since the Roman Empire . His rule spurred the Carolingian Renaissance , a period of energetic cultural and intellectual activity within the Western Church . All Holy Roman Emperors considered their kingdoms to be descendants of Charlemagne 's empire , up to the last Emperor Francis II and the French and German monarchies . However , the Eastern Orthodox Church views Charlemagne more controversially , labelling as heterodox his support of the filioque and recognition by the Bishop of Rome as legitimate Roman Emperor , rather than recognising Irene of Athens of the Eastern Roman Empire . These and other machinations led to the eventual split of Rome and Constantinople in the Great Schism of 1054 . Charlemagne died in 814 , having ruled as emperor for thirteen years . He was laid to rest in his imperial capital of Aachen in what is today Germany . He married at least four times and had three legitimate sons , but only his son Louis the Pious survived to succeed him . |

Chen_Tianwen | Chai Tian Bian or better known as Chen Tianwen is a Singaporean veteran actor . He starred in many Mandarin dramas throughout the 1990s , and his film credits include Ah Boys to Men 2 , Ah Boys to Men 3 : Frogmen and The Lion Men : Ultimate Showdown . Chen was educated at the now defunct Serangoon Garden Secondary Technical School . He joined the SBC after completing the 5th artiste drama training class and made his debut in 1984 . He holds a black belt in taekwondo and his martial arts background led him to being cast in many wuxia dramas in the 1990s and as characters with fight scenes in other drama series . He is also a member of the Singapore Celebrity Soccer Team . The Straits Times remarked that Chen 's `` much-praised understated turn '' in the Cannes Film Festival award-winning Ilo Ilo put him in the spotlight once again . Chen hit the headlines again when two parody music videos he starred in , went viral . The first , titled `` Unbelievable '' , was ` lauded ' for the nonsensical line ' I so stunned like vegetable ' ( sic ) , drawing the attention of TIME , while the second , `` Sandcastle in My Heart '' , in which Irene Ang also starred in , did not become as popular as the previous one . Both videos are a parody of popular Chinese MVs in the 1970s , particularly the work of Singaporean singer Huang Ching Yuan . |
Center_of_mass | In physics , the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space is the unique point where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero , or the point where if a force is applied it moves in the direction of the force without rotating . The distribution of mass is balanced around the center of mass and the average of the weighted position coordinates of the distributed mass defines its coordinates . Calculations in mechanics are often simplified when formulated with respect to the center of mass . It is a hypothetical point where entire mass of an object may be assumed to be concentrated to visualise its motion . In other words , the center of mass is the particle equivalent of a given object for application of Newton 's laws of motion . In the case of a single rigid body , the center of mass is fixed in relation to the body , and if the body has uniform density , it will be located at the centroid . The center of mass may be located outside the physical body , as is sometimes the case for hollow or open-shaped objects , such as a horseshoe . In the case of a distribution of separate bodies , such as the planets of the Solar System , the center of mass may not correspond to the position of any individual member of the system . The center of mass is a useful reference point for calculations in mechanics that involve masses distributed in space , such as the linear and angular momentum of planetary bodies and rigid body dynamics . In orbital mechanics , the equations of motion of planets are formulated as point masses located at the centers of mass . The center of mass frame is an inertial frame in which the center of mass of a system is at rest with respect to the origin of the coordinate system . |
Charles_VII_of_France | Charles VII ( 22 February 1403 -- 22 July 1461 ) , called the Victorious ( le Victorieux ) or the Well-Served ( le Bien-Servi ) , was a monarch of the House of Valois who ruled as King of France from 1422 to his death in 1461 . In the midst of the Hundred Years ' War , Charles VII inherited the throne of France under desperate circumstances . Forces of the Kingdom of England and the Duchy of Burgundy occupied Guyenne and northern France , including Paris , the most populous city , and Reims , the city in which the French kings were traditionally crowned . In addition , his father Charles VI had disinherited him in 1420 and recognized Henry V of England and his heirs as the legitimate successors to the French crown instead . At the same time , a civil war raged in France between the Armagnacs ( supporters of the House of Valois ) and the Burgundian party ( supporters of the House of Valois-Burgundy allied to the English ) . With his court removed to Bourges , south of the Loire River , Charles was disparagingly called the `` King of Bourges '' , because the area around this city was one of the few remaining regions left to him . However , his political and military position improved dramatically with the emergence of Joan of Arc as a spiritual leader in France . Joan of Arc and other charismatic figures led French troops to lift the siege of Orléans , as well as other strategic cities on the Loire river , and to crush the English at the battle of Patay . With the local English troops dispersed , the people of Reims switched allegiance and opened their gates , which enabled the coronation of Charles VII in 1429 at Reims Cathedral . This long-awaited event boosted French morale as hostilities with England resumed . Following the battle of Castillon in 1453 , the French had expelled the English from all their continental possessions except for the Pale of Calais . The last years of Charles VII were marked by conflicts with his turbulent son , the future Louis XI of France . |

Charles_V_of_France | Charles V ( 21 January 1338 -- 16 September 1380 ) , called the Wise ( French : `` le Sage '' ) , was a monarch of the House of Valois who ruled as King of France from 1364 to his death . In 1349 , as a young prince , Charles received from his grandfather King Philip VI the province of Dauphiné to rule . This allowed him to bear the title `` Dauphin '' until his coronation , which led to the integration of the Dauphiné into the crown lands of France . After 1350 , all heirs apparent of France bore the title of Dauphin until their coronation . Charles became regent of France when his father John II was captured by the English at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356 . To pay the ransom , Charles raised taxes . As a result , he faced hostility from the nobility , led by Charles the Bad , King of Navarre ; the opposition of the French bourgeoisie , which was channeled through the Estates-General led by Etienne Marcel ; and with peasant revolts known as Jacqueries . Charles overcame all of these rebellions , but in order to liberate his father , he had to conclude the Treaty of Brétigny in 1360 , in which he abandoned large portions of south-western France to Edward III of England and agreed to pay a huge ransom . Charles became king in 1364 . With the help of talented advisers known as the Marmousets , his skillful management of the kingdom allowed him to replenish the royal treasury and to restore the prestige of the House of Valois . He established the first permanent army paid with regular wages , which liberated the French populace from the companies of routiers who regularly plundered the country when not employed . Led by Bertrand du Guesclin , the French Army was able to turn the tide of the Hundred Years ' War to Charles ' advantage , and by the end of Charles ' reign , they had reconquered almost all the territories ceded to the English in 1360 . Furthermore , the French Navy , led by Jean de Vienne , managed to attack the English coast for the first time since the beginning of the Hundred Years ' War . Charles V died in 1380 . He was succeeded by his son Charles VI the Mad , whose disastrous reign allowed the English to regain control of large parts of France . |
Charles_III,_Duke_of_Parma | Charles III ( Carlo III di Borbone , Duca di Parma e Piacenza 14 January 1823 -- 27 March 1854 ) was Duke of Parma from 1849 to 1854 . He was the only son of Charles II Duke of Parma and was educated in Saxony and Vienna . He grew up as a restless young man and traveled extensively while he was hereditary Prince of Lucca . For a time he served in the Piedmontese army with the rank of Captain .

Casablanca-class_escort_carrier | The Casablanca-class escort carriers are the most numerous class of aircraft carriers ever built . Fifty were laid down , launched and commissioned within the space of less than two years -- 3 November 1942 through to 8 July 1944 . These were nearly one third of the 151 carriers built in the United States during the war . Despite their numbers , and the preservation of more famous and larger carriers as museums , none of these modest ships survive today . Five were lost to enemy action during World War II and the remainder were scrapped . Casablanca was the first class to be designed from keel up as an escort carrier . It had a larger and more useful hangar deck than previous conversions . It also had a larger flight deck than the . Unlike larger carriers which had extensive armor , protection was limited to splinter plating . Their small size made them useful for transporting assembled aircraft of various sizes , but fighters were limited to smaller and lighter aircraft such as the Grumman F4F Wildcat . The hull numbers were assigned consecutively , from CVE-55 Casablanca to CVE-104 Munda . Casablanca-class carriers were built by Kaiser Company , Inc. 's Shipbuilding Division , Vancouver Yard on the Columbia River in Vancouver , Washington . The Vancouver yard was expressly built in 1942 to construct Liberty Ships , but exigencies of war soon saw the yard building LST landing craft and then escort carriers all before the end of the yard 's first year in operation . The yard had twelve building ways and an enormous 3,000 foot outfitting dock along with a unique additional building slip originally intended to add prefabricated superstructures to Liberty ships . Their relatively small size and mass-production origins led their crews to refer to them as `` jeep carriers '' or `` Kaiser Jeeps '' with varying degrees of affection . |

Cato,_a_Tragedy | Cato , a Tragedy is a play written by Joseph Addison in 1712 , and first performed on 14 April 1713 . Based on the events of the last days of Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis ( 95 -- 46 B.C. ) , a Stoic whose deeds , rhetoric and resistance to the tyranny of Julius Caesar made him an icon of republicanism , virtue , and liberty . Addison 's play deals with , among other things , such themes as individual liberty versus government tyranny , Republicanism versus Monarchism , logic versus emotion , and Cato 's personal struggle to hold to his beliefs in the face of death . It has a prologue written by Alexander Pope , and an epilogue by Samuel Garth . The play was a success throughout England and her possessions in the New World , as well as Ireland . It continued to grow in popularity , especially in the American colonies , for several generations . Indeed , it was almost certainly a literary inspiration for the American Revolution , being well known to many of the Founding Fathers . In fact , George Washington allegedly had it performed for the Continental Army while they were encamped at Valley Forge . The letter which proves the performance has questionable authenticity . |

Celebrity_chef | A celebrity chef is a kitchen chef who has become famous and well known . Today celebrity chefs often become celebrities by presenting cookery advice and demonstrations via mass media , especially television . Several chefs have been credited with being the first celebrity chef , among them historically Bartolomeo Scappi and Marie-Antoine Carême . In the modern era since the advent of television several chefs have been attributed the title of the `` first celebrity chef '' , including Julia Child in the United States and Fanny Cradock in the UK . While television is ultimately the primary way for a chef to become a celebrity , some have achieved this through success in the kitchen , publications and achieving such awards as Michelin stars while others are home cooks . Celebrity chefs can also massively influence cuisines across countries , with foreign cuisines being introduced in their natural forms for the first time due to the work of the chef to inform their viewers . Sales of certain foodstuffs can also be enhanced , such as when Delia Smith caused the sale of white eggs across the UK to increase by 10 % in what has since been termed the `` Delia effect '' . Endorsements are also to be expected from a celebrity chef , such as Ken Hom 's range of bestselling woks in Europe , but can also lead to criticism over which endorsements are chosen such as when Marco Pierre White teamed up with Bernard Matthews Farms , or when Darren Simpson advised and endorsed fast food restaurant KFC . In South Korea , a celebrity chef is referred to as a Cheftainer . |

Cartoon_physics | Cartoon physics is a jocular system of laws of physics that supersedes the normal laws , used in animation for humorous effect . Normal physical laws are referential ( i.e. , objective , invariant ) , but cartoon physics are preferential ( i.e. , subjective , varying ) . Many of the most famous American animated films , particularly those from Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios , unconsciously developed a relatively consistent set of such `` laws '' which have become de rigueur in comic animation . In one common cartoon scenario example , when a cartoon character runs off a cliff , gravity has no effect until the character notices and reacts . In words attributed to Art Babbitt , an animator with the Walt Disney Studios : `` Animation follows the laws of physics -- unless it is funnier otherwise . '' |

Central_Asia | Central Asia stretches from the Caspian Sea in the west to China in the east and from Afghanistan in the south to Russia in the north . It is also colloquially referred to as `` the - stans '' as the five countries generally considered to be within the region all have names ending with the Persian suffix '' - stan '' , meaning `` land of '' . Central Asia 's five former Soviet republics are Kazakhstan ( pop . 17 million ) , Kyrgyzstan ( 5.7 million ) , Tajikistan ( 8.0 million ) , Turkmenistan ( 5.2 million ) , and Uzbekistan ( 30 million ) , giving the region a total population of about 66 million . Central Asia has historically been closely tied to its nomadic peoples and the Silk Road . It has acted as a crossroads for the movement of people , goods , and ideas between Europe , Western Asia , South Asia , and East Asia . The Silk Road connected Muslim lands with the people of Europe , India , and China . This crossroads position has intensified the conflict between tribalism and traditionalism and modernization . In pre-Islamic and early Islamic times , Central Asia was predominantly Iranian , peopled by Eastern Iranian-speaking Bactrians , Sogdians and Chorasmians and the semi-nomadic Scythians and Parthians . After expansion by Turkic peoples , Central Asia also became the homeland for the Kazakhs , Uzbeks , Turkmen , Kyrgyz and Uyghurs and Turkic languages largely replaced the Iranian languages spoken in the area . Central Asia is sometimes referred to as Turkestan . From the mid-19th century until almost the end of the 20th century , most of Central Asia was part of the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union , both Slavic-majority countries , and the five former Soviet '' - stans '' are still home to about 7 million Russians and 500,000 Ukrainians . |

Chandler_Burr | Chandler Burr ( born December 30 , 1963 ) is an American journalist , author , and museum curator . Born in Chicago and raised in Washington , D.C. , Burr graduated from Principia College in Elsah , Illinois . He began his journalism career in 1987 as a stringer in The Christian Science Monitor 's Southeast Asia bureau , and later became a Contributing Editor to U.S. News & World Report . Burr has also written for The Atlantic on epidemiology and public health . Burr earned a master 's degree in international economics and Japan studies from the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies ( SAIS ) at Johns Hopkins . He lives in New York City . In 1993 , Burr wrote a cover story , `` Homosexuality and Biology '' , for The Atlantic . The story became the basis for his first book A Separate Creation : The Search for the Biological Origins of Sexual Orientation ( 1996 ) , which investigated sexual orientation research . A Separate Creation was published by Hyperion , a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company , and its argument that sexual orientation is inborn prompted a call by Southern Baptists to boycott Disney films and theme parks . In 1996 The Weekly Standard published Burr 's article `` Why Conservatives Should Embrace the Gay Gene '' , in which he argued that scientific research demonstrating that sexual orientation is biologically determined supports a conservative view of human nature . Burr 's The Emperor of Scent , published in 2003 , tells how the French-Italian scientist Luca Turin originated the theory about the functioning of the sense of smell . As a result , The New Yorker proposed that Burr describe the creation of a perfume . Burr 's March 2005 New Yorker article recounted Jean-Claude Ellena 's year-long creation , in Paris and Grasse , of Hermès ' Un Jardin sur le Nil . Burr 's The Perfect Scent : A Year Inside the Perfume Industry in Paris & New York , published in 2008 , describes Ellena 's creation of `` Nil '' in Paris , and Sarah Jessica Parker 's creation of `` Lovely '' , in New York City under the license aegis of the perfume corporation Coty . Burr 's novel , You Or Someone Like You , was published by Ecco in summer 2009 . From August 2006 until the end of 2010 , Burr was perfume critic of The New York Times . In December 2010 he founded the Department of Olfactory art at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City . In December 2010 , Burr left The New York Times to curate the exhibition `` The Art of Scent : 1889-2011 '' at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City , which allowed visitors to experience seminal works by some of the greatest scent artists of the late-19th , 20th and early-21st centuries such as Jean-Claude Ellena , Ernest Beaux , and Jacques Cavallier . The New York Times reported that when asked about his refusal to display packaging or bottles , Burr replied '' -LSB- T -RSB- he smell -LSB- is -RSB- the work of art . I 'm opposed to the photon . If you have to see it , I 'm not interested . '' The Bogota newspaper El Tiempo in its edition of 2 December 2011 carried an article on how Burr reportedly had failed to disclose his sexual orientation in petitioning to adopt two Colombian orphans . As a result , the ICBF ( Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar ) halted the adoption proceedings , claiming a lack of candor on Burr 's part ; Burr responded that the children knew about his sexuality and `` they did n't care '' . On 13 December 2011 it was reported that the adoptions were made official and that Burr and his adopted sons were reunited . In 2014 Burr established the Department of Scent Art as an independent 501c3 non-profit arts organization based in New York . The DSA produces exhibitions such as Hyper-Natural : Scent from Art to Design at the National Gallery of Victoria , Melbourne . '' |
Che_(2008_film) | Che is a two-part 2008 biopic about Argentine Marxist revolutionary Ernesto `` Che '' Guevara , directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Benicio del Toro . Rather than follow a standard chronological order , the films offer an oblique series of interspersed moments along the overall timeline . Part One is entitled The Argentine and focuses on the Cuban Revolution from the landing of Fidel Castro , Guevara , and other revolutionaries in Cuba to their successful toppling of Fulgencio Batista 's dictatorship two years later . Part Two is entitled Guerrilla and focuses on Guevara 's attempt to bring revolution to Bolivia and his demise . Both parts are shot in a cinéma vérité style , but each has different approaches to linear narrative , camerawork and the visual look . Filmmaker Terrence Malick originally worked on a screenplay limited to Guevara 's attempts to start a revolution in Bolivia . When financing fell through , Malick left the project , and Soderbergh subsequently agreed to direct the film . He realized that there was no context for Guevara 's actions in Bolivia and decided that his participation in the Cuban Revolution and his appearance at the United Nations in 1964 should also be depicted . Peter Buchman was hired to write the screenplay : the script was so long that Soderbergh decided to divide the film into two parts , one chronicling Cuba and other depicting Bolivia . Soderbergh shot the installments back-to-back starting at the beginning of July 2007 , with Guerrilla first in Spain for 39 days , and The Argentine shot in Puerto Rico and Mexico for 39 days . Che was screened as a single film at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival . Del Toro won the Best Actor Award , and the film received mostly positive reviews . IFC Films , which holds all North American rights , initially released the combined film for one week on 12 December 2008 in New York City and Los Angeles to qualify for the year 's Academy Awards . Strong box office performance led to the `` special roadshow edition '' being extended in NYC and LA , and later expanded into additional markets . The film was released as two separate films , titled Che Part 1 : The Argentine and Che Part 2 : Guerrilla , and distribution expanded further after that . The Independent Film Channel released the films via video on demand and on Region 1 DVD exclusively from Blockbuster . Che Parts I and II have grossed nearly USD$ 41 million , against a budget of USD$ 58 million . |

Charleston,_South_Carolina | Charleston is the oldest and largest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina , the county seat of Charleston County , and the principal city in the Charleston -- North Charleston -- Summerville Metropolitan Statistical Area . The city lies just south of the geographical midpoint of South Carolina 's coastline and is located on Charleston Harbor , an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean formed by the confluence of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers . Charleston had an estimated population of 134,385 in 2016 . The population of the Charleston metropolitan area , comprising Berkeley , Charleston , and Dorchester Counties , was counted by the 2016 estimate at 761,155 , the third-largest in the state and the 78th-largest metropolitan statistical area in the United States . Charleston was founded as Charles Town -- honoring King CharlesII of England -- in 1670 . Its initial location at Albemarle Point on the west bank of the Ashley River ( now Charles Towne Landing ) was abandoned in 1680 for its present site , which became the 5th-largest city in North America within 10 years . Despite its size , it remained unincorporated throughout the colonial period ; its government was handled directly by the state legislature and by its Anglican parish wardens and vestries . It adopted its present spelling with its incorporation as a city in 1783 at the close of the Revolutionary War . Endemic bouts of yellow fever and malaria influenced the removal of the state government to Columbia in 1788 , although the port remained among the 10 largest cities in the United States through the 1840 census . The only major American city to have a majority-enslaved population , Antebellum Charleston was controlled by a militarized oligarchy of white planters and merchants who successfully forced the federal government to revise its 1828 and 1832 tariffs during the Nullification Crisis and launched the Civil War by seizing the Arsenal , Castle Pinckney , and Fort Sumter from their federal garrisons . The Confederates burned the town prior to its evacuation but continued demand for the area 's cotton and rice , along with growing industry and a large military presence , saw it through Reconstruction . Known for its rich history , well-preserved architecture , distinguished restaurants , and mannerly people , Charleston is a popular tourist destination and has received a large number of accolades , including `` America 's Most Friendly -LSB- City -RSB- '' by Travel + Leisure in 2011 and in 2013 and 2014 by Condé Nast Traveler , and also `` the most polite and hospitable city in America '' by Southern Living magazine . In 2016 , Charleston was ranked the `` World 's Best City '' by Travel + Leisure . |

Celebrity–industrial_complex | The celebrity-industrial complex is a social and economic construct which involves a symbiotic relationship between celebrities and business corporations . First proposed by Vanity Fair columnist Maureen Orth in her book , The Importance of Being Famous ( 2003 ) , it is fueled both by the celebrities ' seemingly continual search for fame and attention and the business corporations ' search for catchy headlines and viable name brands that could be sustained by such celebrities . In the celebrity-industrial complex , the celebrity either has a particular feature that is attractive to a public audience or is a victim of an occurrence that wins sympathy or condemnation from that same audience ; this celebrity , for an initial period of time , becomes a subject of media scrutiny or marketing by properly funded media publication distributors . This media scrutiny , however , can often become a source of income for the celebrity , or the media scrutiny becomes an outlet of promotion for future manufactured publications or initiatives by the celebrities , and the media scrutiny around the celebrity expands to include coverage of such products . The term `` celebrity-industrial complex '' is an homage to the much older term military-industrial complex , which refers to a similar bilateral relationship between national militaries and industrial corporations which profit from each other . |

Cary_Building_(New_York_City) | The Cary Building at 105-107 Chambers Street , extending along Church Street to Reade Street , in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan , New York City , was built in 1856-1857 and was designed by Gamaliel King and John Kellum ( `` King & Kellum '' ) in the Italian Renaissance revival style , with the cast-iron facade provided by Daniel D. Badger 's Architectural Iron Work . The five-story twin-facaded building was constructed for William H. Cary 's Cary , Howard & Sanger , a dry goods firm . Although built as a commercial structure , the Cary Building is now residential . As a result of the widening of Church Street in the 1920s , a 200-foot-long wall of unadorned brick is now exposed on the east side of the building ; as Christopher Gray observed in the New York Times , comparing the structure to cast-iron buildings with facades obscured by modern signage , `` There is not too little of the Cary Building but too much . '' The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1982 , and was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1983 . The building was once home to The New York Sun . |
Cine_film | Ciné film ( sometimes Cine , no acute accent ) is the term commonly used in the UK to refer to the 9.5 mm , 16 mm , 8 mm and Super 8 motion picture film formats used for home movies . It is not normally used to refer to professional formats such as 35 mm or 70 mm film , and is incorrect if applied to any video format . In the US , `` movie film '' is the common informal term for all formats and `` motion picture film '' the formal one . Cine film literally means `` moving '' film ; deriving from the Greek `` kine '' for motion ; it also has roots in the Anglo-French word cinematograph , meaning moving picture . Although there had been earlier attempts , typically employing larger formats , the introduction of the 9.5 mm and 16 mm formats in the early 1920s finally succeeded in introducing the practice of showing rented `` play-at-home '' copies of professionally made films , which , in the case of feature-length films , were usually much shortened from the originals . More significantly , these new cine film gauges were the first truly practical formats for making casual amateur `` home movies '' of vacation trips , family gatherings , and important events such as weddings . Amateur dramas and comedies were sometimes filmed , usually just for fun and without any aspiration to artistic merit . Amateur 16 mm film-making was an expensive hobby limited to the affluent . The 9.5 mm format made more efficient use of film and was not quite so costly . The 8 mm format , introduced in 1932 , consumed only one-quarter as much film as 16 mm and finally made home movies a reasonably affordable luxury for the many . Eventually , the 16 mm format came to be used mostly for commercial , educational and industrial purposes as a cost-cutting , compact alternative to 35 mm film that produced an acceptably sharp and bright image on smaller screens . In the mid-1970s , Betamax and VHS home videocassette recorders were introduced . Color video cameras , previously beyond the financial reach of all but the richest amateurs , gradually became cheaper and smaller . Battery-powered camcorders combined the recorder and the camera into one portable and increasingly compact and affordable unit . By the early 1980s an hour of blank videotape cost no more than a three-minute 50-foot roll of 8 mm film with processing . The writing was on the wall for cine film as a mass market item , though even in the early 2010s all the film formats mentioned above are still supported with new film stock and processing , albeit only from a very few specialist suppliers . Since cine film is now an obsolete format , some companies offer a service whereby these films are converted to modern formats such as DVD . |
Cinderella | Cinderella , or The Little Glass Slipper , ( Cenerentola , Cendrillon , ou La petite Pantoufle de Verre , Aschenputtel ) is a folk tale embodying a myth-element of unjust oppression/triumphant reward . Thousands of variants are known throughout the world . The title character is a young woman living in unfortunate circumstances , that are suddenly changed to remarkable fortune . The story of Rhodopis , recounted by the Greek geographer Strabo in around 7 BC , about a Greek slave girl who marries the king of Egypt , is considered the earliest known variant of the `` Cinderella '' story . The most popular version was first published by Charles Perrault in Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697 , and later by the Brothers Grimm in their folk tale collection Grimms ' Fairy Tales . Although the story 's title and main character 's name change in different languages , in English-language folklore `` Cinderella '' is the archetypal name . The word `` Cinderella '' has , by analogy , come to mean one whose attributes were unrecognized , or one who unexpectedly achieves recognition or success after a period of obscurity and neglect . The still-popular story of `` Cinderella '' continues to influence popular culture internationally , lending plot elements , allusions , and tropes to a wide variety of media . The Aarne -- Thompson system classifies Cinderella as `` the persecuted heroine '' . |
