Empress He (Tang dynasty)

As empress dowager

Shortly after Emperor Zhaozong's death, Zhu Quanzhong also had Jiang Xuanhui invite Li Yu, as well as eight other sons of Emperor Zhaozong's, to a feast. At the feast, under Zhu's orders, Jiang had the nine princes killed by strangulation.

Zhu was soon planning to take over the throne himself, and he had Jiang and the chancellor Liu Can plan the transition. Jiang advocated slowing down the process to try to get the people of the empire to gradually accept the coming transition from Tang to a new dynasty, and this displeased Zhu. Meanwhile, Empress Dowager He was having her ladies in waiting Aqiu (阿秋) and Aqian (阿虔) passing messages between her and Jiang, begging him to have her life and that of the young emperor spared when the transition would occur. This led to Wang Yin (王殷) and Zhao Yinheng falsely accusing Jiang being in a conspiracy with the empress dowager to restore Tang imperial power. In late 905, Zhu had Jiang and Liu put to death and replaced Jiang with Wang and Zhao. Wang and Zhao then accused Empress Dowager He of having carried on an affair with Jiang. Zhu secretly ordered them put the empress dowager to death by strangulation, with Aqiu and Aqian beaten to death, and had Emperor Ai issue an edict claiming that she was having affair with Jiang and committed suicide to offer apology, posthumously demoting her to commoner status. Besides this, Emperor Ai suspended business for three days to show his mourning for her.

In 933, Emperor Mingzong of Later Tang posthumously restored Empress He as Empress Xuanmu.

The final version mixes funk with trap. It has samples of sections of A Voz do Brasil, Caetano Veloso saying "Deus é um de nós" (God is one of us), sections of Sítio do Picapau Amarelo and funk songs from the 1990s.

Mauro Ferreira from G1 saw the album as representative of a wave of recent female music which incorporates anti-sexist lyrics. He called it "intense as Duda Brack's singing" and said it reinforces her "strong vocal and artistic personality". He finished his review by saying the singer "jumps and lands on her feet, standing strong on the patriarchal empire. [...] [she] confirms herself relevant and, filled with self-esteem and reason, counterattacks the Latin-American macho with precision.

194th (2/1st South Scottish) Brigade

The 194th (2/1st South Scottish) Brigade was an infantry brigade of the British Army, raised during World War I. The brigade was part of the Territorial Force and formed as a 2nd Line duplicate of the 155th (South Scottish) Brigade. Assigned to the 65th (2nd Lowland) Division, the brigade remained in the United Kingdom throughout the war.

Origin

The units and formations of the Territorial Force were mobilised on the outbreak of war on 4 August 1914. Almost immediately, they were invited to volunteer for Overseas Service. On 15 August, the War Office issued instructions to separate those men who had signed up for Home Service only, and form them into reserve units. On 31 August, the formation of a reserve or 2nd Line unit was authorised for each 1st Line unit where 60 per cent or more of the men had volunteered for Overseas Service. The titles of these 2nd Line units would be the same as the original, but distinguished by a '2/' prefix. The large numbers of volunteers coming forward were assigned to these 2nd Line units for training. Later, the Home Service men were separated into provisional units, while the 2nd Line continued to train drafts for the 1st Line serving overseas.

Order of battle

The brigade's initial composition was as follows:

  * 2/4th Battalion, Royal Scots Fusiliers (RSF)
  * 2/5th Battalion, Royal Scots Fusiliers
  * 2/4th (Border) Battalion, King's Own Scottish Borderers (KOSB)
  * 2/5th (Dumfries and Galloway) Battalion, King's Own Scottish Borderers

Reorganisation

In November 1915 the units of 65th (2nd L) Division were reorganised into composite battalions and numbered sequentially. At this time 194th Bde was composed as follows:

  * No 13 Battalion (2/4th and 2/5th Bns, RSF, 2/5th (Cumberland) Bn, Border Regiment)
  * No 14 Battalion (2/4th and 2/5th Bns, KOSB)
  * No 15 Battalion (2/7th Bn, Royal Scots)
  * No 16 Battalion (2/8th Bn, Royal Scots)

Later war

In January 1916 the composite battalions returned to their original regiments:


194th (2/1st South Scottish) Brigade

In January 1916 the composite battalions returned to their original regiments:

  * 2/7th Bn Royal Scots – disbanded March 1918
  * 2/8th Bn Royal Scots – disbanded summer 1917
  * 2/4th Bn RSF – disbanded May 1918
  * 2/5th Bn KOSB – disbanded May 1918
  * 213th Graduated Bn, Training Reserve – joined 23 July 1917; became 51st (Graduated) Bn, Cheshire Regiment 27 October 1917; remained at the Curragh when division was broken up

Service

The brigade was formed in January 1915, but progressive training of the 2nd Line units was hampered by the need to provide frequent reinforcement drafts to the 1st Line, by the lack of up-to-date arms and equipment, and the reorganisation when Home Service men were drafted to separate units. By August 195, 65th (2nd L) Division had concentrated round Bridge of Allan, with 194th Bde at Rumbling Bridge, where it remained until the winter of 1915–16 when it was quartered at Falkirk, Grangemouth, Milnathort and Larbert. In March 1916 the division moved to Essex, where it joined Southern Army (Home Forces), with 194th Bde at Chelmsford.

Early in 1917 the division was sent to Ireland to relieve 59th (2nd North Midland) Division, which had been based there since the Easter Rising of 1916. 194th Brigade was stationed at Dublin and the Curragh, later moving to Oughterard and Moycullen.

65th (2nd Lowland) Division and its brigades were disbanded on 18 March 1918.

Commanders

The following officers commanded the brigade:

  * Colonel W.C. Douglas, 15 January 1915
  * Brigadier-General F.A. Macfarlan, 17 March 1916 to 15 March 1918
  * Maj A.F.

Eucephalus breweri

Eucephalus breweri is a North American species in the family Asteraceae known by the common name Brewer's aster. It is native to California where it grows primarily in the Sierra Nevada at subalpine elevations. Its range extends into northwestern Nevada and southwestern Oregon.

Eucephalus breweri is a perennial herb growing from a woody caudex to a maximum height anywhere between 10 centimeters (4 inches) and one meter (39 inches). The stems are mainly erect and are coated in woolly fibers and resin glands. The abundant hairy, glandular leaves are lance-shaped to oval, pointed, and smooth or toothed along the edges. They are up to 5 centimeters (2 inches) long. The inflorescence holds several discoid flower heads which are packed with long yellow disc florets but no ray florets. They are lined with hairy, glandular phyllaries. The fruit is a hairy achene.

Empress Hu (Yuan Xu's wife)

Empress Hu (胡皇后, personal name unknown) was an empress of the Xianbei-led Northern Wei dynasty of China. Her husband was Emperor Xiaoming.

Little is known about Empress Hu personally—including when she became empress. It is known that she was the daughter of Hu Sheng (胡盛), a cousin of Emperor Xiaoming's mother Empress Dowager Hu. Empress Dowager Hu selected her to be Emperor Xiaoming's empress, because Empress Dowager Hu wanted to strengthen her clan. However, Emperor Xiaoming often spent time drinking, and he favored his concubine Consort Pan. Empress Hu and the other concubines did not have his favor, and she did not bear him any children. (His only child, a daughter, was born of Consort Pan.) It was described that his concubines Consorts Cui, Lu, and Li, among others, would often fight among themselves, but she largely stayed clear of these disputes. After Emperor Xiaoming's death in 528, she became a Buddhist nun at Yaoguang Temple.

George and Beryl Formby in Boots! Boots!

Boots! Boots! is a 1934 British comedy film directed by Bert Tracy and starring George Formby, Beryl Formby, and Arthur Kingsley. It was made by Blakeley's Productions, Ltd. (later Mancunian Films) at the Albany Studios in London.Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent.

  * George Formby - John Willie
  * Beryl Formby - Snooky
  * Arthur Kingsley - Hotel Manager

  * Myfanwy Southern - Reception Clerk
  * Bert Tracey - The Chef
  * Harry Hudson and his Orchestra - Themselves

Outline

Producer John E. Blakeley had no prior experience in film production; he had seen comedian George Formby doing his stage act and approached him to star in a feature film. Blakeley's modest studio was a one-room loft space above a taxi garage. The makeshift stage was not soundproofed, so whenever the crew members wanted to film a scene, they had to signal the garage to stop its noisy work below. The studio also had pictorial limitations, and couldn't replicate much more than simple room interiors (many scenes were staged in cramped corners). Thus the nightclub scenes in Boots! Boots! were filmed in near-darkness, hiding the absence of set decorations, with a single spotlight trained on the performer being photographed.

The film is a patchwork of songs and jokes tied to the misadventures of bumbling John Willie, played by Formby. ("John Willie" was a character made famous by Formby's father, George Formby, Sr., in music halls of the early 1900s.) Despite the crude photography and recording, and the minuscule budget of £3,000, Boots! Boots! became an enormous hit. It was reissued in 1938, in a shortened 55-minute form, to capitalize on Formby's later fame; for six decades this abridged version was the only one in circulation, until an uncut, 80-minute print was located and restored for DVD release.

Cape Roger Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador

Cape Roger Harbour (sometimes known as Cape Roger) is a tiny abandoned town located near St. Joseph's, Placentia Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada that had a tiny population of 4 in 1845.

Geography

Located on the western side of Placentia Bay, Cape Roger Harbour is within Cape Roger Bay which lies between St. Joseph's, Placentia Bay and Port Anne. Cape Roger Harbour, which is protected from the elements by Harbour Island, is bounded by water spouts that rush through the sandy loam that lies on the beach area. They can consistently rise above 10 feet over sea level.

Buried Treasure

It is a popular belief that buried treasure is located within Cape Roger Harbour, however all attempts to unearth it have failed.

Empress Gou

Empress Gou (苟皇后, personal name unknown) was an empress of the Di-led Former Qin dynasty of China. Her husband was Fu Jiān, who created her empress in 355 after seizing the throne from his violent and cruel cousin Fu Sheng even though he claimed only the title of "Heavenly Prince" (Tian Wang).

Very little is known about Empress Gou. She might have been a relative of Fu Jiān's mother Empress Dowager Gou, but there is not enough evidence. She was still alive in 359, when she participated in a ceremonial feeding of silkworms, but there was no further record of her in history, including whether she survived to her husband's death in 385.

When Fu Jiān's crown prince Fu Hong fled to Jin in 385, he was recorded to have done so with his mother, who was likely to be Empress Gou.

Retains capital punishment

From 1935 to Estonia's incorporation into the Soviet Union in 1940, inmates condemned by civilian courts were given a choice to die either by poison-induced suicide or by hanging, as outlined in the Criminal Procedure Code (which took effect on 1 February 1935): "One hour before the scheduled time of the execution, the condemned shall be taken to a death cell, where the state prosecutor will read the death sentence and ask the prisoner whether he is willing to commit suicide. If the answer is in the affirmative, the prosecutor will hand the condemned a glass of poison—the kind of poison to be determined by the National Health Board. If the doomed man fails to take the poison within five minutes he will be hanged.'"firing squad.

During the Soviet era, the method of execution became a single shot by firearm to the back of the head. The last execution in Estonia took place on 11 September 1991 when Rein Oruste, convicted of murders, was shot in the back of the head at Patarei Prison.ECHR was signed.

Poll

In 2015, a poll found that 70% of Estonians are in favor of the death penalty. This is an increase of support from 62% in a 2010 poll.
