Starved | Starved is an American television sitcom that aired for one season on FX for seven episodes in 2005 . The series was about four friends who each suffer from eating disorders , who met at a `` shame-based '' support group called Belt Tighteners . Its characters included those with bulimia , anorexia , and binge eating disorder . Eric Schaeffer created the show as well as writing , starring in and directing it , based upon his own struggle with eating disorders . In addition to his own life experiences , Schaeffer also drew upon the experiences of the other members of the principal cast , each of whom coincidentally had struggled with food issues of their own . Starved was the lead-in of FX 's hour-long `` Other Side of Comedy '' block with It 's Always Sunny in Philadelphia . FX executives wanted to use the two series to begin building comedy programming and broaden the network 's demographic . The series debuted on August 4 , 2005 to poor critical reviews and was cancelled in October 2005 , when FX picked Sunny over Starved for renewal . |

State_of_matter | In physics , a state of matter is one of the distinct forms that matter takes on . Four states of matter are observable in everyday life : solid , liquid , gas , and plasma . Many other states are known to exist only in extreme situations , such as Bose -- Einstein condensates , neutron-degenerate matter , and quark-gluon plasma , which occur in situations of extreme cold , extreme density , and extremely high-energy color-charged matter respectively . Some other states are believed to be possible but remain theoretical for now . For a complete list of all exotic states of matter , see the list of states of matter . Historically , the distinction is made based on qualitative differences in properties . Matter in the solid state maintains a fixed volume and shape , with component particles ( atoms , molecules or ions ) close together and fixed into place . Matter in the liquid state maintains a fixed volume , but has a variable shape that adapts to fit its container . Its particles are still close together but move freely . Matter in the gaseous state has both variable volume and shape , adapting both to fit its container . Its particles are neither close together nor fixed in place . Matter in the plasma state has variable volume and shape , but as well as neutral atoms , it contains a significant number of ions and electrons , both of which can move around freely . Plasma is the most common form of visible matter in the universe . The term phase is sometimes used as a synonym for state of matter , but a system can contain several immiscible phases of the same state of matter . |

Summer_hit | In the entertainment industry , a summer hit is a song that is released and peaks in its popularity during summer and often later quickly fades away . In some years , a single pop song will gain widespread international popularity during the summer holiday season , becoming that summer 's definitive summer hit in many countries . Many of the best-known summer hits emerge from outside the British and American pop music industries . Songs that are marketed to be summer hits are very common , and often feature an upbeat tempo and descriptions of things such as relaxation outdoors and beach parties . These are songs considered ideal listening during summer activities . These intentional summer hits are most common in country ( particularly country pop ) and mainstream popular music but are much less common in rock . The opposite of a summer hit in the music industry would be a Christmas song , a category that usually incorporates general winter songs as well . |

Tacitus_on_Christ | The Roman historian and senator Tacitus referred to Christ , his execution by Pontius Pilate , and the existence of early Christians in Rome in one page of his final work , Annals ( written ca . AD 116 ) , book 15 , chapter 44 . The context of the passage is the six-day Great Fire of Rome that burned much of the city in AD 64 during the reign of Roman Emperor Nero . The passage is one of the earliest non-Christian references to the origins of Christianity , the execution of Christ described in the canonical gospels , and the presence and persecution of Christians in 1st-century Rome . Scholars generally consider Tacitus ' reference to the execution of Jesus by Pontius Pilate to be both authentic , and of historical value as an independent Roman source . Eddy and Boyd state that it is now `` firmly established '' that Tacitus provides a non-Christian confirmation of the crucifixion of Jesus . Historian Ronald Mellor has stated that the Annals is `` Tacitus 's crowning achievement '' which represents the `` pinnacle of Roman historical writing '' . Scholars view it as establishing three separate facts about Rome around AD 60 : ( i ) that there were a sizable number of Christians in Rome at the time , ( ii ) that it was possible to distinguish between Christians and Jews in Rome , and ( iii ) that at the time pagans made a connection between Christianity in Rome and its origin in Roman Judea . |

Symphony,_K._96_(Mozart) | The Symphony in C major `` No. 46 '' , K. 96/111b , was probably written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1771 in Milan . The symphony is scored for two oboes , two horns , two trumpets , timpani and strings . In contemporary orchestras , it was also usual to include bassoons and harpsichord if they were available in the orchestra to reinforce the bass line and act as the continuo . The duration is approximately 15 minutes . The symphony consists of the following movements : Allegro , Andante , Menuetto , Molto allegro , Alfred Einstein suggested in his revision of the Köchel catalogue that the symphony was composed in October -- November , 1771 in Milan , and that the minuet was added later . The authenticity of this symphony is uncertain as the autograph is lost ; the dates given to this symphony vary considerably , from 1770 to 1775 . The Alte Mozart-Ausgabe ( published 1879 -- 1882 ) gives the numbering sequence 1 -- 41 for the 41 numbered symphonies . The unnumbered symphonies ( some , including K. 96 , published in supplements to the Alte-Mozart Ausgabe until 1910 ) are sometimes given numbers in the range 42 to 56 , even though they were written earlier than Mozart 's Symphony No. 41 ( written in 1788 ) . The symphony K. 96 is given the number 46 in this numbering scheme . |
Tear_sheet | In advertising , a tear sheet is a page cut or torn from a publication to prove to the client that the advertisement was published . Media buying agencies are often required by clients to provide tear sheets along with a post analysis of any advertising campaign .

With the emergence of online advertising tear sheets often now appear in the form of a PDF file , known as a `` virtual tear sheet '' , or `` electronic tear sheet '' . Tear sheets are also used by writers/photographers as proof that their article/photo was published . In finance , a tear sheet provides a one-page summary of a company or portfolio , containing current and historic information on the company such as market cap , sector , graph of historic share price . They can also be referred to as `` Fund Fact Sheets '' or `` Ditos '' .

Television_presentation | Television presentation refers to the way in which television stations present themselves between programs . It has become increasingly important in the recent multichannel television environment for television stations to create an attractive and distinct on-air appearance , through the various elements that form the ` television presentation ' umbrella . These include idents , the short clips that are often shown before a program on many stations . They often consist of an animated form of the station 's logo , and many have a continuity announcer who speaks over the clip with information about programs on the station . Some stations , such as BBC One in the UK have used a live action ident since 1997 . This approach however is less common . Other elements include Digital On-screen Graphics ( DOGs ) and End Credit Promotions ( ECPs ) . Computerised graphics have been popular since BBC Two introduced the world 's first computer-generated television identification in the summer of 1979 . Less than three months later , American broadcaster NBC introduced their first computerised graphics . The presentation of a television station can have a large bearing on its success . The success of Channel 4 's launch in the UK in 1982 was largely attributed to the distinctive ` blocks logo ' , created by design house Lambie-Nairn . The ident of the channel was one of the first to be rendered in 3D , realised by mathematics and computer graphics legend John Vince , and showed a ' 4 ' comprising blocks exploding and coming together again . It was very popular with viewers , and whilst previously television presentation was largely transparent to viewers , the launch of Channel 4 almost made it a talking point . The channel still uses the same logo , albeit in a slightly different form . There have been several examples of television presentation choices less popular with viewers . In 2002 , the new controller of BBC One , Lorraine Heggessey , deemed the package which had been in place since 1997 too `` slow and distant '' . The old package consisted of a hot air balloon with an image of the earth printed on it flying over various landmarks across the UK . The package was unique and certainly popular with viewers . Again , it was a rare example of ordinary people recognising and identifying with a channel 's on-air look . Heggessey instead wanted to introduce a set of idents showing people of various cultural backgrounds dancing in different ways . The style was ridiculed by many , including the BBC 's own animated satire Monkey Dust , whose spoofs of the idents included two men engaging in anal sex , and Channel 4 's digital channel E4 , who spoofed it in a set of their own idents and it also was identified by the public for the wrong reasons . In the United States , cable channel MTV changes its presentation every few months . However , since its inception , the logo ( the letter `` M '' with `` tv '' on the lower right side ) has always remained the same . |
Tenth_Doctor | The Tenth Doctor is an incarnation of the Doctor , the protagonist of the BBC science fiction television programme Doctor Who , who is played by David Tennant in three series as well as nine specials . As with previous incarnations of the Doctor , the character has also appeared in other Doctor Who spin-offs . In the programme 's narrative , the Doctor is a centuries-old Time Lord alien from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time in his TARDIS , frequently with companions . When the Doctor is critically injured beyond medical repair , he can regenerate his body ; in doing so , his physical appearance and personality change , and a new actor assumes the role . Tennant 's portrayal of the Doctor is of an outwardly charismatic and charming adventurer whose likable and easygoing attitude can quickly turn to righteous fury when provoked . This incarnation 's companions include working class shop assistant Rose Tyler ( Billie Piper ) , medical student Martha Jones ( Freema Agyeman ) , and fiery temp worker Donna Noble ( Catherine Tate ) . He eventually parts ways with them all by the end of the 2008 series finale , `` Journey 's End '' , after which he attempts to travel alone for the duration of the 2008 -- 2010 specials before being accompanied by Donna Noble 's grandfather Wilfred Mott on his final adventure in The End of Time . In November 2013 , Tennant 's Doctor was voted `` The UK 's favourite Doctor '' in a survey held by the Radio Times magazine . |
Tha_Carter_IV | Tha Carter IV is the ninth studio album by American rapper Lil Wayne , released on August 29 , 2011 , through Young Money Entertainment , Cash Money Records and Universal Republic Records . Recording sessions for the album began in late 2008 , shortly after Lil Wayne 's sixth studio album , Tha Carter III ( 2008 ) was released to strong sales and critical acclaim : however , the sessions were put on hold , as Lil Wayne claimed he did not want to follow an album he held in high regard so quickly with another , potentially inferior release . In the interim , Lil Wayne released his two other albums in 2010 : the largely rock-themed Rebirth , and I Am Not a Human Being . The latter was reportedly composed from unreleased material from the original Tha Carter IV sessions , as the album was released whilst Wayne served a prison sentence at Rikers Island prison for illegal possession of a weapon , and was thus unable to record any new material : this also meant Tha Carter IV '' 's recording sessions were once more put on hold . Following Wayne 's release from prison , the album was re-recorded from scratch . The recording sessions resumed at various locations , involving several record producers including Bangladesh , Detail , T-Minus , Noah `` 40 '' Shebib , Polow da Don , Jim Jonsin , Kane Beatz , Boi-1da , Willy Will , Streetrunner , Cool & Dre , Young Ladd , The Smeezingtons , and Kanye West . The album 's largely concerns the themes of sex , violence , drugs and crime , but also love , hurt and emotional conflict . Appearances on the album include Cory Gunz , Drake , T-Pain , Tech N9ne , Andre 3000 , Rick Ross , John Legend , Bruno Mars , Birdman , Kevin Rudolf , Jadakiss , Bun B , Nas , Shyne , and Busta Rhymes . Following a heavily delayed release , Tha Carter IV was released to digital retailers at midnight on August 28 , 2011 , following Wayne 's scheduled performance at the MTV Video Music Awards , and physical retailers received the album the following day . Tha Carter IV '' achieved first week sales of 964,000 copies in the United States and became Lil Wayne 's second album to top the US Billboard 200 in its first week . The album received generally mixed reviews from music critics , who were divided in their responses towards the album 's production and Wayne 's own performances on the album : they felt it a disappointment compared to his previous work . The entire album according to Lil Wayne is an allegory of the negative aspects of the West . |

The_Block,_Baltimore | Baltimore 's The Block is a stretch on the 400 block of East Baltimore Street in Baltimore , Maryland containing several strip clubs , sex shops , and other adult entertainment merchants . In the first half of the 20th century , it was famous for its burlesque houses . It was a noted starting point and stop-over for many noted burlesque dancers , including the likes of Blaze Starr . By the 1950s , the clubs became seedier , as burlesque was replaced by strip clubs and sex shops . The Block of that era is featured prominently in several films , notably Barry Levinson 's Liberty Heights and Diner , as well as Steve Yeager 's independent feature drama On The Block , with Howard Rollins . The decades to follow would bring a marked increase in general crime , prostitution , and drug dealing , an unusual situation considering the location of Baltimore 's Police Headquarters and Central Police District House at the east end of the block . It has been suggested that the police , whose headquarters are located literally next to The Block , choose to contain the prostitution and drug dealing in that small section of Baltimore rather than combat it . The passing decades would see a shrinking of the area . Once several blocks long , stretching almost to Charles Street in the central part of downtown Baltimore , today The Block only stretches about two blocks long from South Street to Gay Street . Polock Johnny 's sausage restaurant was a local landmark on the strip into the 1980s . In recent years , The Block has undergone a bit of a revival with the opening of Larry Flynt 's Hustler Club , and its next-door neighbor Norma Jean 's , an upscale urban strip club . A 5 alarm fire on December 6th , 2010 heavily damaged four buildings , including the building that formerly housed the Gayety Theater . The fire was believed to be an act of arson . |
Teleplay | A teleplay is a screenplay or script used in the production of a scripted television program or series . In general usage , the term is most commonly seen in reference to a standalone production , such as a television film , a television play or an episode of an anthology series ; in internal industry usage , however , all television scripts ( including episodes of ongoing drama or comedy series ) are teleplays , although a `` teleplay '' credit may be subsumed into a `` written by '' credit depending on the circumstances of its creation . The term first surfaced during the 1950s with wide usage to distinguish teleplays from stage plays written for theater and screenplays written for films . All three have different formats , conventions and constraints . |
The_Allman_Brothers_Band | The Allman Brothers Band was an American rock band formed in Jacksonville , Florida , United States , in 1969 by brothers Duane Allman ( slide guitar and lead guitar ) and Gregg Allman ( vocals , keyboards , songwriting ) , as well as Dickey Betts ( lead guitar , vocals , songwriting ) , Berry Oakley ( bass guitar ) , Butch Trucks ( drums ) , and Jai Johanny `` Jaimoe '' Johanson ( drums ) . The band incorporates elements of Southern rock , blues , jazz , and country music , and their live shows have jam band-style improvisation and instrumentals . The group 's first two studio releases stalled commercially , but their 1971 live release , At Fillmore East , represented an artistic and commercial breakthrough . The album features extended renderings of their songs `` In Memory of Elizabeth Reed '' and `` Whipping Post '' , and is often considered among the best live albums ever made . Group leader Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident later that year , and the band dedicated Eat a Peach ( 1972 ) in his memory , a dual studio/live album that cemented the band 's popularity . Following the motorcycle death of bassist Berry Oakley later that year , the group recruited keyboardist Chuck Leavell and bassist Lamar Williams for 1973 's Brothers and Sisters , which , combined with the hit single `` Ramblin ' Man '' , placed the group at the forefront of 1970s rock music . Internal turmoil overtook them soon after ; the group dissolved in 1976 , reformed briefly at the end of the decade with additional personnel changes , and dissolved again in 1982 . The band reformed once more in 1989 , releasing a string of new albums and touring heavily . A series of personnel changes in the late 1990s was capped by the departure of Betts . The group found stability during the 2000s with bassist Oteil Burbridge and guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks ( the nephew of their drummer ) , and became renowned for their month-long string of shows at New York City 's Beacon Theatre each spring . The band retired in 2014 with the departure of the aforementioned members . The band has been awarded seven gold and four platinum albums , and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 . Rolling Stone ranked them 52nd on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time in 2004 . |

Sydney_Fremantle | Admiral Sir Sydney Robert Fremantle , ( 16 November 1867 -- 29 April 1958 ) was an officer of the Royal Navy , who served during the Victorian era and had risen to the rank of rear-admiral by the outbreak of the First World War . He played a role in developing fleet communications and signalling methods prior to the war , but was hampered in effectively implementing them due to the disruption caused by the conflict . He had an active seagoing career during the war , commanding several of the cruiser squadrons , and later taking command of the British fleet in the Aegean . Promoted to vice-admiral after the end of the war and given command of the First Battle Squadron , Fremantle oversaw the interned German High Seas Fleet at Scapa Flow , and was away on exercises when the sailors began to scuttle their ships in June 1919 . He attempted to salvage what he could , later accusing the German commander , Vice-Admiral Ludwig von Reuter , of a shameful breach of honour . Fremantle rose to full admiral and commanded the naval base at Portsmouth , retiring in 1928 . He wrote his memoirs , publishing them after the Second World War , and donated many of his papers to institutions before his death in 1958 . |
Tally_(cap) | The tally on a sailor 's cap is a ribbon usually bearing the name of a ship or some other establishment to which he belongs . Practice varies with each navy , though a conventional tally is black , with a gold or yellow inscription . The inscription may be simply a ship 's name ( e.g. `` H.M.A.S. ARRERNTE '' ) , the name of the navy ( `` MARINE NATIONALE '' ) or a longer name such as `` Red Banner Baltic Fleet '' . During World War II the ship 's name would often be omitted from the tally ( leaving just `` H.M.A.S '' , for example ) as a precautionary measure against espionage . Likewise the manner a tally is fastened onto the cap varies with each navy . For example , the British tie it into a bow on the left side ; the Germans and Russians tie it at the back , leaving behind a pair of streamers ; while the French stitch it onto the cap like an ordinary cap band . Occasionally the tally 's colour may vary from the usual black ( such as the Ribbon of Saint George tallies used in the Soviet and Russian navies to denote Guards units ) .

Teatro_Regio_Ducal | The Teatro Regio Ducal ( Italian , `` Royal Ducal Theatre '' ) was the opera house in Milan from 26 December 1717 until 25 February 1776 , when it was burned down following a carnival gala . Many famous composers and their operas are associated with it , including the premieres of Mozart 's Ascanio in Alba , Mitridate , re di Ponto , and Lucio Silla . The opera house also saw the premiere of Maria Teresa Agnesi Pinottini 's Ciro in Armenia in 1753 ; one of the earliest successfully received operas by a female composer . Variant forms such as Regio-Ducal Teatro and Teatro Regio Ducale are also seen . The atmosphere in opera houses at the time was very sociable and congenial , and the Teatro Regio Ducal was no exception . The English traveller and music writer Charles Burney describes its faro tables for gambling , and gives this description : The theatre here is very large and splendid ; it has five rows of boxes on each side , one hundred in each row ; and parallel to these runs a broad gallery ... as an avenue to every row of boxes : each box will contain six persons , who sit at the sides , facing each other . Across the gallery of communications is a complete room to every box , with a fireplace in it , and all conveniences for refreshments and cards . In the fourth row is a pharo table , on each side of the house , which is used during the performance of the opera . After the destruction of the Teatro Regio Ducal , which had been a wing of the Palazzo Reale ( Royal Palace ) , two new theatres were commissioned to be built near the site , both designed by Giuseppe Piermarini . The Nuovo Regio Ducal Teatro alla Scala ( with variant forms of its name ) , the present-day La Scala , was inaugurated on 3 August 1778 . The Teatro alla Canobbiana , now called the Teatro Lirico , was inaugurated on 21 August 1779 . |
Tashir_(historical_region) | Tashir is a historical region in the South Caucasus , part of the marchlands between Armenia and Georgia since ancient times , and still divided between the two countries , in the Armenian Lori Province and the Georgian region of Kvemo Kartli . The name of Tashir , or Tashiri in Georgian , has designated since Antiquity the high plain between the Upper Debeda and the Pambaki rivers . The region is first mentioned , by the Armenian historian Moses of Chorene , in the 5th century , as one of the cantons of the lords of Gugark ( or Gogarene ) , a former province of Greater Armenia , which had become part of the Kingdom of Iberia ( one of the Georgian kingdoms ) . Both Armenian and Georgian lords already had pretention over the land of Tashir , and it passed hands following the political fortunes of each . In the following centuries , the area was ruled mostly by Armenian lords . When the Bagratid Kingdom of Armenia fell apart in the 10th century , the region was the basis of the Kingdom of Lori , or Kingdom of Tashir-Dzoraget ( 978-1118 ) . It was conquered at the beginning of the 12th century by David IV of Georgia . It remained Georgian land until the Mongol invasions devastated it and weakened the Georgian state . From then on , the region suffered many other invasions , lost much of its population and importance . It belonged to the domains of the noble House of Orbeliani and was part of the Persian Empire until the Russian conquest of the Caucasus . The name of Tashir declined in use , and was replaced by that of Lori . Between 1918 and 1921 , the region was again disputed between the newly independent states of Georgia and Armenia . The town of Tashir ( Armenia ) is named after the historical region . |

Tapout_(clothing_brand) | Tapout is an American multinational corporation that designs and manufactures sports clothing , casual apparel , and accessories headquartered in Baltimore , Maryland . It is one of the largest sportswear manufacturers in the United States , and one of the biggest in the world . Tapout was registered in 1997 in San Bernardino County , California , by Charles Lewis , Jr. , Dan Caldwell and Tim Katz . The company was founded after the trio began selling mixed martial arts clothing from the back of their Ford Mustang . Selling the merchandise during a period where MMA solely reached a niche market , Lewis , Caldwell and Katz branded the company around the sport , distributing the merchandise in cities where the sport was prevalent . However , following the growing popularity of mixed martial arts in the United States , and its later nationwide mainstream acceptance , the company became the largest MMA-related merchandise company in the world , accruing revenues of over $ 22.5 million . In March 2015 , the company was relaunched following its joint-ventured acquisition by pro-wrestling company WWE , and development firm Authentic Brands Group . The venture saw the former MMA-related brand transformed into a more general `` lifestyle fitness '' one . The apparel , for men and women , is expected to be released in spring of 2016 . Throughout 2015 , WWE marketed the brand through various products , including beverages , supplements and gyms . WWE will hold a 50 % stake in the brand , and so will advertise it regularly across all its platforms , hoping to give it one billion impressions a month , and attempting to rival sports-clothing giant , Under Armour . All employees and students of the WWE Performance Center will also wear the clothing . |

Symphony_No._3_(Mozart) | The so-called Symphony No. 3 in E major , K. 18 , once attributed to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , is by today 's scholarship considered not to be Mozart 's own work but instead that of Carl Friedrich Abel , a leading German composer of the earlier Classical period . It was misattributed to Mozart because a manuscript score in the hand of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , was categorized as his Symphony No. 3 in E , K. 18 , and was published as such in the first complete edition of Mozart 's works by Breitkopf & Härtel . Later , it was discovered that this symphony was actually the work of Abel , copied by the boy Mozart ( evidently for study purposes ) while he was visiting London in 1764 . That symphony was originally published as the concluding work in Abel 's Six Symphonies , Op. 7 . However , Mozart 's copy differs from Abel 's published score in that Mozart `` substituted clarinets for the printed oboe parts . '' It is in three movements : Molto allegro Andante Presto |

Territorial_evolution_of_France | This article describes the process by which the territorial extent of metropolitan France came to be as it is since 1947 . The territory of the French State is spread throughout the world . Metropolitan France is that part which is in Europe . Occidental France , which arose from the Treaty of Verdun of 843 , remained stable for many years . The first kings , the Capetians , were too much occupied with imposing their authority in their own realm to be expansionist . They deftly exploited dissent among their turbulent vassals , applying pressure on them and on the Church and towns . The great conflicts with the kings of England were important occasions for asserting royal power . The 13th century re-annexations of Normandy and of Languedoc to the French kingdom were two important stages in the unification of the kingdom . France soon lost the County of Barcelona ( Catalonia ) , from the end of the 9th century . The crossing beyond Rhone , which for a long time remained the frontier , did not begin until the 14th century , with the purchase of the Dauphiné . Louis XI regained his inheritance of the two most powerful prerogatives granted to cadet branches of the dynasty : Burgundy and Anjou including Provence in the Holy Roman Empire ( 1481 -- 1482 ) . The marriage of Anne of Brittany first with Charles VIII then with Louis XII led finally to the effective annexation in 1532 , of her duchy which was already within the ambit of the French Kingdom but which had hitherto firmly maintained its distinct existence . From 1635 to 1748 , Richelieu and Louis XIV undertook an expansion of the frontiers of the kingdom towards the north and towards the Rhine . Their aim was to check the aspiration of the Austrian royal house towards its own predominance in Europe . The loss of French Flanders ( 1526 ) had brought the frontier dangerously close to the French capital . Alsace , Artois and Franche-Comté were annexed between 1648 and 1697 . The Duchy of Lorraine remained some time an enclave in the French kingdom before it too was incorporated in 1766 . This and the purchase of Corsica in 1768 brought the territory of the kingdom into a consolidated block . During the period of the French Revolution and First Empire , France expanded temporarily on the left bank of the Rhine . The frontier in the north east lost its definition . On the whole , it remained stable from 1697 to 1789 when it became vague , following no particular line . It was re-established , more or less on its old line in 1815 , by the Congress of Vienna . France did lose some places such as Landau and Saarlouis . These strategic losses and the construction of a powerful German state may be seen as giving rise to later diplomatic and military events . But even after the Armistice of 1918 , France was unable to make new territorial gains towards the north-east , into the Saarland . Subsequently in the 19th century , there were only a few developments . The Duchy of Savoy and the County of Nice were definitively re-attached to France , by plebiscite in 1860 . Alsace-Lorraine was annexed by Germany in 1871 but became French again in 1918 . Other alterations were made temporarily , by the occupying power , during the period of World War II . |
The_Bahamas | The Bahamas ( -LSB- bəˈhɑːməz -RSB- ) , known officially as the Commonwealth of The Bahamas , is an archipelagic state within the Lucayan Archipelago . It consists of more than 700 islands , cays , and islets in the Atlantic Ocean and is located north of Cuba and Hispaniola ( Haiti and the Dominican Republic ) ; northwest of the Turks and Caicos Islands ; southeast of the US state of Florida and east of the Florida Keys . The capital is Nassau on the island of New Providence . The designation of `` the Bahamas '' can refer either to the country or to the larger island chain that it shares with the Turks and Caicos Islands . As stated in the mandate/manifesto of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force , the Bahamas territory encompasses 180000 sqmi of ocean space . The Bahamas is the site of Columbus ' first landfall in the New World in 1492 . At that time , the islands were inhabited by the Lucayan , a branch of the Arawakan-speaking Taino people . Although the Spanish never colonised the Bahamas , they shipped the native Lucayans to slavery in Hispaniola . The islands were mostly deserted from 1513 until 1648 , when English colonists from Bermuda settled on the island of Eleuthera . The Bahamas became a British Crown colony in 1718 , when the British clamped down on piracy . After the American War of Independence , the Crown resettled thousands of American Loyalists in the Bahamas ; they brought their slaves with them and established plantations on land grants . Africans constituted the majority of the population from this period . The Bahamas became a haven for freed African slaves : the Royal Navy resettled Africans here liberated from illegal slave ships ; American slaves and Seminoles escaped here from Florida ; and the government freed American slaves carried on United States domestic ships that had reached the Bahamas due to weather . Slavery in the Bahamas was abolished in 1834 . Today the descendants of slaves and free Africans make up nearly 90 % of the population ; issues related to the slavery years are part of society . The Bahamas became an independent Commonwealth realm in 1973 , retaining Queen Elizabeth II as its monarch . In terms of gross domestic product per capita , the Bahamas is one of the richest countries in the Americas ( following the United States and Canada ) , with an economy based on tourism and finance . |

The_Bostonian_Society | The Bostonian Society is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1881 for the purpose of preventing the Old State House ( built in 1713 ) from being `` moved brick by brick '' from Boston , Massachusetts to Chicago , Illinois . Determined to save the historic building that was the site of the Boston Massacre and the place for the proclamation of the Declaration of Independence in Massachusetts , a group of citizens banded together formed `` Boston 's first successful historic preservation movement '' . Now stewardship of the Old State House -- `` one of the most important public buildings in U.S. history '' and the oldest surviving public building in Boston -- is the society 's primary purpose . Today the 18th century building stands above the underground State Street MBTA Station in a busy area of Boston situated between Downtown Crossing and South Station . According to the Society 's website , The Bostonian Society is dedicated to studying , and preserving Boston 's uniquely important history , embodied in materials , records , and structures such as the Old State House , and in sharing an understanding of the revolutionary ideas born here . The city of Boston still owns the structure , and it is within the Boston National Historical Park and a major site on the Freedom Trail , but day-to-day management of the site is in the hands of the Bostonian Society , which maintains a museum in the building and a research library across the street . Materials in the collection date back to 1630s Massachusetts Bay Colony and include 7,500 books , 350 maps , 30,000 photographs , and other primary source materials . Exhibits at the museum focus on the American Revolution and the American Revolutionary War , the neighborhoods of Boston , and similar local themes . Some of the artifacts on display on the walls and in glass cases are antique rifles and other weapons , old nautical instruments from the Age of Sail , images from 18th century London newspapers expressing how Britons viewed the war , and an original Paul Revere political cartoon that was passed down through the family of Josiah Quincy I until it was donated it to the Bostonian Society in the 1880s . There is also a model showing what Boston looked like during Colonial America . According to the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau , `` The Bostonian Society is the first stop for anyone interested in the city 's history '' and `` the Society brings Boston history to life '' . The Bostonian Society has various programs and educational resources for children and adults and has been called `` a comprehensive historical and educational resource '' . For several years , The Society oversaw a historic marker program across the city of Boston and ran a teacher training program called `` Teaching Boston History Workshops '' , bringing together leading experts on various subjects , community-based organizations , teachers and museum educators , and the Society 's `` unequalled collections of primary sources '' . The Society oversees the annual Boston Massacre reenactment which occurs every year in March and has other historic programs with costumed interpreters . The Society also makes the Old State House available for various events from private events . The Bostonian Society operates three gift shops : One inside the Old State House , a shop in Faneuil Hall and , close by , a shop at Quincy Market . |

Television_Centre,_London | Television Centre in White City , West London was the headquarters of BBC Television between 1960 and 2013 . Officially opened on 29 June 1960 , it is one of the most readily recognisable facilities of its type , having appeared as the backdrop for many BBC programmes . Parts of the building are Grade II listed , including the central ring and Studio 1 . Most of the BBC 's national television and radio news output came from the Television Centre ( TVC ) with most recorded television output from the nearby Broadcast Centre at 201 Wood Lane , care of Red Bee Media . Live television events from studios and routing of national and international sporting events took place within the Television Centre before being passed to the Broadcast Centre for transmission . It was announced on 21 September 2010 that the BBC would cease broadcasting from Television Centre in 2013 . On 13 June 2011 the BBC announced that the Television Centre was on the market , and that it was `` inviting bid proposals from people looking for a conventional , freehold property or those interested in a joint venture '' , suggesting that it may yet remain connected to the BBC . On 16 July 2012 it was announced that the complex had been sold to property developers Stanhope plc for around # 200 million and that the BBC would retain a continued presence at Television Centre through its commercial subsidiaries BBC Studios and Post Production ( BBC Studioworks since 2016 ) and BBC Worldwide . BBC Studios and Post Production ( relocated to Elstree Studios ) was due to move back to Television Centre to operate Studio 1 , 2 and 3 in 2015 , but it was announced in July 2014 that it had agreed with Stanhope to move back in 2017 , at the same time as other key tenants , to enable the most efficient overall site construction programme to take place . BBC Worldwide moved into office space in the Stage 6 building following extensive refurbishment in 2015 . The radio and television news departments moved to Broadcasting House in central London , the home of BBC Radio , as part of a reorganisation . BBC News moved to new facilities in Broadcasting House on 18 March 2013 , but TVC remained in active use with many programmes being taped in the studios until it closed for redevelopment officially on 31 March 2013 . BBC TVC was one of the largest such facilities in the world and was the second-oldest operational television studio in the United Kingdom , after Granada Studios where the BBC 's main commercial rival , Granada Television , was based for many decades . Developers Stanhope said in April 2014 that the new Television Centre development would `` pay homage to the original use of the building '' and retain original features of the buildings including the `` doughnut '' , atomic dot wall and Helios statue . The new Television Centre will be opened up to the public and will offer entertainment and leisure facilities , including a new branch of members ' club Soho House , offices aimed at the creative sector and approximately 1,000 new homes , together with pedestrian access through the site providing connectivity with the local area , including Hammersmith Park . The building is 4 mi west of central London , in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham . The nearest Underground stations are White City and Wood Lane . |

The Academy @Shawnee is not only a high school but is now entering its third year as a middle school as well , first opening its doors to middle school students in the fall of 2013 . As an aerospace magnet , the middle school is smaller in enrollment when compared to other middle schools in Jefferson County Public Schools ( JCPS ) , and is operated not unlike a private school in the way that it offers choices to parents , invites open communication , and gives unique learning opportunities to students such as the Challenger Learning Center . The middle school ranked in the 99th percentile when test scores came out after the first year . It had the highest accountability score of any middle school in JCPS , second-highest in the entire state of Kentucky . Parents , faculty and administration are optimistic that the middle school students will choose to stay at The Academy @ Shawnee magnet for their high school years , providing the ultimate shine for this `` diamond in the rough . '' The Academy @ Shawnee is the only high school of its kind in the nation . They offer the Federal Aviation Regulations ( FAR ) Part 141 Private Pilot License Course , which includes ground school and flight hours , at no cost to its students . This level of Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) certification normally costs students upwards of $ 10,000 .

Students fly simulators , take familiarization flights , build scale models , take field trips to major players in the Aerospace industry such as UPS , and have the opportunity to take additional courses ( many of which are dual credit ) and compete with other aviation students through their partnership with National Air & Space Education Institute ( NASEI ) . During the junior year , the actual FAA curriculum for Ground School starts as students begin to work towards the opportunity to spend their senior year flying and earning their Private Pilots License . The Academy @ Shawnee also has an award-winning NJROTC program ( Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps ) which hold 110 students in the program . The Academy 's sports programs are Football , Basketball , Swimming , Wrestling , Track and Field , Volleyball , Baseball and Softball . Basketball is the only sport to win a State Championships which was in 1979 . The school building sits on a large campus and is Gothic-inspired in its architectural design ; it was constructed in 1927 and is on the National Register of Historic Places ( reference number 84000277 ) . The school has had harsh criticism in the past for having low test scores when compared to the rest of Jefferson County , but current administration seems to be taking on the challenge successfully , which was started by Dr. Keith Look . Some continue to have low expectations perhaps partially based on the location of the school , and its performance history , but people who have visited the `` turnaround '' school know better . The school had a listed enrollment of 593 students for the 2014/15 school year . |

Take_This_to_Your_Grave | Take This to Your Grave is the debut studio album by American rock band Fall Out Boy . It was released on May 6 , 2003 , by Fueled by Ramen . The album was produced by Sean O'Keefe . When the band was signed to Island Records , Island employed an unusual strategy that allowed the band to sign with independent label Fueled by Ramen for their debut , to later move to the major label for a second album . O'Keefe had helped with the band 's demo , and the group returned to Smart Studios in Madison , Wisconsin to record the bulk of their first album . Living on a stranger 's floor for part of the time and running out of money halfway through , the band recorded seven songs in nine days , bringing them together with the additional three from the demo . While Stump had previously written all prior lyrics and took them lightly , Wentz took the process with a considerable seriousness and obsessively picked apart his bandmates ' lyrics . The `` exhausting '' process led to numerous revisions of single songs and several arguments . The album cover , which features all four bandmates sitting on a broken futon , features a blue tint reminiscent of jazz records and was the second choice after the original was rejected by the label . The album created gradual interest in the band as they toured across the country , including a five-day stint on Warped Tour 2004 . The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) , with sales of 634,000 copies , as of August 2008 . The record produced three singles , including the minor success `` Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy '' . The album has often been named as a vital blueprint for pop punk music , with Alternative Press calling the record a `` subcultural touchstone -LSB- ... -RSB- a magical , transcendent and deceptively smart pop-punk masterpiece that ushered in a vibrant scene resurgence with a potent combination of charisma , new media marketing and hardcore-punk urgency .

Tennis_Court_Oath | On 20 June 1789 , the members of the French Estates-General for the Third Estate , who had begun to call themselves the National Assembly , took the Tennis Court Oath ( Serment du Jeu de Paume ) , vowing `` not to separate , and to reassemble wherever circumstances require , until the constitution of the kingdom is established . '' It was a pivotal event in the early days of the French Revolution . The Estates-General had been called to address the country 's fiscal and agricultural crisis , but immediately after convening in May 1789 , they had become bogged down in issues of representation -- particularly , whether they would vote by head ( which would increase the power of the Third Estate ) or by order . On 17 June , the Third Estate , led by the comte de Mirabeau , began to call themselves the National Assembly . On the morning of 20 June , the deputies were shocked to discover that the chamber door was locked and guarded by soldiers . Immediately fearing the worst and anxious that a royal attack by King Louis XVI was imminent , the deputies congregated in a nearby indoor jeu de palme court in the Saint-Louis district of the city of Versailles , near the Palace of Versailles . There , 576 of the 577 members from the Third Estate took a collective oath `` not to separate , and to reassemble wherever circumstances require , until the constitution of the kingdom is established '' . The only person who did not join was Joseph Martin-Dauch from Castelnaudary , who would only execute decisions made by the king . |

'' Lauren Shiro of Curve ( magazine ) wrote , `` deeper still , the movie takes on a political and sociological stance , examining stereotypes , identity , and also the subtext and themes behind story lines . '' Jed Gottlieb of the Boston Herald described TEN , `` imagine Scream crossed with The Usual Suspects ...

Tajik_language | Tajik or Tajiki ( Tajik : забо́ни тоҷикӣ́ , zaboni tojikī , -LSB- zaˈbɔni tɔd͡ʒiˈki -RSB- , also called Tajiki Persian ( Tajik : форси́и тоҷикӣ́ , forsii tojikī , -LSB- fɔrˈsiji tɔd͡ʒiˈki -RSB- ) ) is the variety of Persian spoken in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan . It is closely related to Dari Persian . Since the beginning of the twentieth century and collapse of Soviet Union , Tajik has been considered by a number of writers and researchers to be a variety of Persian ( Halimov 1974 : 30 -- 31 , Oafforov 1979 : 33 ) . The popularity of this conception of Tajik as a variety of Persian was such that , during the period in which Tajik intellectuals were trying to establish Tajik as a language separate from Persian , Sadriddin Ayni , who was a prominent intellectual and educator , had to make a statement that Tajik was not a bastardized dialect of Persian . The issue of whether Tajik and Persian are to be considered two dialects of a single language or two discrete languages has political sides to it ( see Perry 1996 ) . Today Tajik is recognized as a dialect of Persian language . Tajik is the official language of Tajikistan . In Afghanistan ( where Tajiks make up a large part of the population ) , this language is less influenced by Turkic languages , is called Dari , and has co-official language status . Tajik has diverged from Persian as spoken in Afghanistan and Iran due to political borders , geographical isolation , the standardization process , and the influence of Russian and neighboring Turkic languages . The standard language is based on the northwestern dialects of Tajik ( region of old major city of Samarqand ) , which have been somewhat influenced by the neighboring Uzbek language as a result of geographical proximity . Tajik also retains numerous archaic elements in its vocabulary , pronunciation , and grammar that have been lost elsewhere in the Persophone world , in part due to its relative isolation in the mountains of Central Asia . |

This is accomplished through luck , initiative and a fair bit of chutzpah ( in slang a card is a ` character ' , an ` original ' ; a clever , audacious , person ) . Denry Machin returned , as the slightly more mature `` Edward Henry '' , in Bennett 's sequel The Regent ( 1913 ) ( titled The Old Adam in its first U.S. edition ) . |

Symphony_No._33_(Mozart) | The Symphony No. 33 in B major , K. 319 , was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , and dated on 9 July 1779 . |
Symphony,_K._98_(Mozart) | The Symphony in F major `` No. 56 '' , K. 98/Anh . C 11.04 , was once thought to have been written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart . As of 2009 , it is the only one of Mozart 's symphonies published in the Alte Mozart-Ausgabe that has never been recorded . The symphony is scored for two oboes , two horns and strings . In contemporary orchestras , it was also usual to include bassoons and harpsichord if they were available in the orchestra to reinforce the bass line and act as the continuo . The duration is approximately 12 -- 15 minutes . The symphony consists of the following movements : Allegro , Andante , Menuetto , Presto , In Vienna , an unknown person ( possibly Franz Lorenz ) compiled a `` Sistematisch-Thematisches Verzeichnis der sämtlichen Compositionen von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ( `` Systematic Thematic Catalogue of all composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart '' ) . A pencil note `` 1771 Milan Nov '' can be found for K. 98 . Ludwig Ritter von Köchel , who only knew the work in an arrangement for two pianos , considered the work authentic and included it into the first edition of the Köchel catalogue . Wyzewa and Saint-Foix did not doubt the work 's authenticity , but believed that Mozart only sketched the symphony and did not write it out completely . In his revision of Otto Jahn 's Mozart biography Hermann Abert stated that the symphony was probably doubtful , listing many things uncharacteristic of Mozart 's works and characteristic of other Mannheim composers , even noting a favourite phrase of Johann Stamitz in the beginning of the trio of the minuet . The symphony has been attributed to Joseph Haydn , Michael Haydn and Leopold Mozart . Neal Zaslaw states that its authorship remains uncertain . The Alte Mozart-Ausgabe ( published 1879 -- 1882 ) gives the numbering sequence 1 -- 41 for the 41 numbered symphonies . The unnumbered symphonies ( some , including K. 98 , published in supplements to the Alte-Mozart Ausgabe until 1910 ) are sometimes given numbers in the range 42 to 56 , even though they were written earlier than Mozart 's Symphony No. 41 ( written in 1788 ) . The symphony K. 98 is given the number 56 in this numbering scheme . |
