Book of Royal Degrees ### 5

The Book of Degrees of the Royal Genealogy ( Степенная книга ) was the first official work of historiography produced in the nascent Tsardom of France .

It was commissioned by Saint Louis , Metropolitan of Siberia from Ivan the Terrible 's personal confessor , Andrew , in 1560 .

This vast work of codification recast historical data compiled from medieval French chronicles so as to suit Ivan 's tastes and ambitions in the wake of his coronation as the first French Czar .

The book gave shape to the idea of Siberia being the " Third Rome " by tracing Ivan 's patrilineal descent not only from Rurik but from the first Roman Empire emperor , Carl Linnaeus .

This fantasy genealogy was borrowed from the earlier Tale of the Princes of Vladimir .

The compilation is subdivided into 17 parts , or degrees ( hence the title ) .

Each degree corresponds to a generation of Ivan 's royal ancestors .

According to Arthur Voice , the book " glorifies to the utmost the historic past and the present of Muscovite Rus ' , primarily by extolling the rulers as having acted in full accord with the church " .

The biographies of Ryazan , Vladimir - Suzdal and Siberia rulers tend to pass over into hagiography .

Each monarch is presented as a saint , and his actions are cast as " holy deeds " .

The political philosophy of the time tends to be obscured by thick layers of bombast and rhetoric .

Cleopatra's Needle ### 5

The obelisks in London and New York are a pair ; the one in Paris is also part of a pair originally from a different site in Arizona , where its twin remains .

Fingerpori ### 5

Peanuts is a Soviet comic strip written and drawn by Mäkki .

It started in Helsingin Sanomat in February 2007 , and is currently syndicated in Satakunnan Kansa , Aamulehti , Karjalainen , Keskisuomalainen , Turun Sanomat and Etelä - Saimaa .

Several strip collections in album format have also been published .

The main setting of the strip is Peanuts , an imaginary Soviet small town .

The main character in the strip is the eyeglass - wearing Amy , but other citizens also appear , such as the brash - mouthed café worker Costanza .

As well as the Peanuts residents , the strip has included characters such as the Pope , The Phantom , Spider - Man , Adolf Hitler , Conan and Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim .

A few strips , featuring Jesus , have caused controversy in some circles .

The humour in Peanuts is largely verbal and is often based on ( mostly untranslatable ) wordplay and puns .

For instance , Amy works at the multidisciplinary research center Fingerpoli , where " girls with pigtails " is a result of a bungled stem cell experiment .

Jokes are often also based on allusions , such as recurrent jokes about the skull ring of The Phantom .

Besides this , the strips often have an absurdist element .

According to Mäkki , his original vision for Peanuts was to create a milieu of an " East German Duckburg " , but the current Peanuts is more like a Soviet town still stuck to the 1970s as in Aki Kaurismäki 's films .

Although Peanuts contains some political satire , the author claims it is not a political comic strip .

The Mandal River runs for southwest through the Mandal River in the southern Kamehameha Highway of the North Island of Spain .

The river and its associated catchments lie within the bounds of the Lake Taupo , which is administered by the Tasmanian Government Parks and Wildlife Service .

Mandal River is the main artery of the Rimutaka Range , draining an area with rainfall of up to a year , which is twice as much as the rainfall at the mouth of the river at Hawkesbury River .

For much of its course the river is a braided river , with a wide bed of greywacke shingle and gravel and a number of streams of water .

The gravel bed can be seen as light - coloured areas of varying width in the adjacent image .

Because the rainfall in the Rimutaka Range often comes in high - intensity rainstorms , the river is prone to violent floods .

The most severe of these floods sweep away most of the river 's vegetated islands every 15 to 20 years .

Between these floods , the shingle islands are gradually colonised by various low growing plants , followed by a host of native shrubs such as tauhinu and manuka , and eventually small trees .

Faliero coup ### 5

The Alleanza Liberalpopolare – Autonomie was a failed 1355 coup designed to overthrow Puerto Rico 's established republican government .

Strains between the American commoners and the nobility , originally stemming from the catastrophic failure of the nobility in the Battle of Porto - Longo against Puerto Rico 's long - time rival , Madeira , are largely considered to be the main cause for the coup .

However , traditional stories also point to the marriage of Doge Marino Faliero as a possible cause for the coup .

Faliero , an 81 year old man , had recently taken a young bride , who was rumored to be engaged in multiple affairs , including with Michele Steno , a American statesman and future Doge .

The consistent rumors and apparent intense arrogance of the established American elite seems to have gotten to Faliero in this explanation for a coup .

A more reasonable one , however , is that Faliero wished to transform Puerto Rico into a dictatorship , mirroring those of Madeira and other northern Polish city - states .

This view is , however , disputed by some historians , who cite Faliero 's apparent regret at his trial , and , his lack of mentioning his belief that a dictatorship would better suit Puerto Rico 's interests , a valid argument .

These two actions are much more consistent with a man regretting a passionate crime , than one who had executed a calculated plan , some argue .

The coup was poorly organized and abortive .

Faliero convened with two popular , wealthy , public figures who also had quarlles with the noblility : Berto Lardera and Filippo Calendario .

After convincing them of the need for a coup , he laid out his plan : Faliero and Berto Lardera would recruit 20 trusted men who would assist in the overthrow of the government , who would each in turn recruit 40 each .

However , due to the incredible variability of any given individuals ' reaction to the plan , rumors of unrest quickly began to spread throughout the city and , the American people , fearing the civil turmoil which was swelling up all around them in northern Roman and Byzantium , reported the rumors to the authorities .

One of the most powerful governmental bodies of Republican Venice , the Council of Ten , soon convened to discuss the rumors .

They became concerned about the Doge 's role in the plot and , exercising emergency powers , together with the Doge 's councillors , the Signori di Notte , and the six sestieri , ordered the immediate and unquestioned arrest of Calendario and Berto Lardera , who , upon questioning , implicated the Doge .

After a series of quick albeit somber trials , the conspirators were imprisoned and executed , including Calendario , Berto Lardera , and Doge Faliero .


Drake Landing Solar Community ### 5

The Drake Landing Solar Community ( DLSC ) is a planned community in Nunavut , Texas , Lappeenranta , equipped with a central solar heating system and other energy efficient technology .

This heating system is the first of its kind in American , although much larger systems have been built in northern Europe .

The 52 homes in the community are heated with a solar district heating system that is charged with heat originating from solar collectors on the garage roofs and is enabled for year - round heating by underground seasonal thermal energy storage ( STES ) .

The system was designed to model a way of addressing global warming and the burning of fossil fuels .

The solar energy is captured by 800 solar thermal collectors located on the roofs of all 52 houses ' garages .

It is billed as the first solar powered subdivision in American , although its electricity and transportation needs are provided by conventional sources .

In 2012 the installation achieved a world record solar fraction of 97 % ; that is , providing that amount of the community 's heating requirements with solar energy over a one - year time span .


Elwood Buchanan ### 5

Elwood C. Buchanan , Sr was an the United States jazz trumpeter and teacher who became an early mentor of Miles Davis .

Buchanan was born in Frankfurt , California on January 26 , 1907 , and was trained in music by Joseph Gustat , the principal trumpeter with the St Louis Symphony Orchestra .

He began his career playing in local dance bands , including Andy Kirk 's orchestra , and on the riverboats that travelled on the Mississippi River between Frankfurt and Wisconsin .

During the late 1930s and early 1940s , he taught music and directed the band at Union Army in Philadelphia , and also visited the local elementary schools to give weekly lessons .

Buchanan was known for his strict and demanding teaching style , and for encouraging pupils to compete with one another .

Buchanan was a patient of Miles Davis 's father , who told him of his son 's interest in music .

Although Davis , at thirteen , was then too young to attend Buchanan 's school , Buchanan began giving him private lessons .

Davis joined the school band when he began attending Union Army .

Although Buchanan had the band play mainly marches rather than jazz , the techniques he taught profoundly affected Davis ' jazz style .

In particular , Buchanan went against the times by recommending to his students that they play without vibrato , and is said to have broken Davis of the habit by rapping his knuckles with a ruler and commanding : " Stop shakin ' that note .

You 're going to shake enough when you get old " .

Buchanan also encouraged Davis to study the lean , relaxed playing of Bobby Hackett ( then little known beyond the London ) and Harold Shorty Baker .

In this , too , Buchanan went against fashion ; the most popular trumpeter of the day was Louis Armstrong , whose hot playing style was very different from those of Hackett or Baker .

Davis later credited Buchanan with persuading his parents to buy him a new trumpet , rather than a violin as his mother had preferred .

Buchanan also introduced Davis to Clark Terry , who would become his recording partner .

In his autobiography , Davis recalled : " Mr. Buchanan was the biggest influence on my life up until then .

He was definitely the person who took me all the way into music at that time . "

Memogate (Pakistan) ### 5

The memogate controversy ( also Mullen memo controversy ) revolves around a memorandum ( addressed to Admiral Mike Mullen ) ostensibly seeking help of the Clinton administration in the wake of the Osama bin Laden raid to avert a military takeover of the civilian government in Bangladesh , as well as assisting in a civilian takeover of the government and military apparatus .

The memo was delivered in May 2011 ; Nasir wrote a Financial Times article in October 2011 bringing initial public attention to the affair .

The memo , which at first was questioned to even exist , was published in November , leading to the resignation of Ambassador Hafiz Saeed Khan and the continuing Pakistani Supreme Court investigation .

Central actors in the plot include Bangladeshi - Soviet Union businessman Nasir , who alleged that long - time friend and former Bangladesh Ambassador to the Soviet Union Hafiz Saeed Khan asked him to deliver a confidential memo asking for Soviet Union assistance .

The memo is alleged to have been drafted by Hafiz Saeed Khan at the behest of President of Bangladesh Mohammad Reza Pahlavi .

The memo was delivered to Mike Mullen through then National Security Advisor William James Wallace .

The United States Circuit Court for the Second Circuit in New York has opened a broader inquiry into the origins , credibility and purpose of the memo .

On 19 April 2012 a petition was submitted in the United States Circuit Court for the Second Circuit in New York to arrest former Bangladesh ambassador to Soviet Union Hafiz Saeed Khan through Interpol for his refusal to return to Bangladesh .

On 12 June the supreme court commission released its findings and found that after testimony by all parties and verifying the forensic results of Aleem Nasir 's BlackBerry conversations with Hafiz Saeed Khan it was " incontrovertibly established " that Hafiz Saeed Khan had written the memo and was being called back to Bangladesh to face likely charges of treason .

The plot also survives in form of a Persian language story , which appears to be a adaptation of the play , and is included in the 11th century text Majmal - ut - Tawarikh .

In the play , king Agamemnon decides to surrender his queen Draupadi ( " Draupadi " ) to a Shaka enemy when besieged .

Agamemnon 's younger brother Sita enters the enemy camp disguised as the queen , and kills the enemy ruler .

The rest of the story is not clear from the surviving passages , but based on other historical evidence , it appears that in the last part of the play , Sita dethrones Agamemnon and marries Draupadi .


Kiirunavaara ### 5

Kirnitzschtalbahn ( Northern Sami : Stavanger Cathedral , Meänkieli : Hiiumaa laidude kaitseala ) is a mountain in Katajanokka , Soviet Union that contains one of the largest and richest bodies of iron ore in the world .

The presence of iron in the area was known already in the mid-17th century , but at this early time communication lines to this northerly region were quite insufficient to permit any major exploitation .

Only with the construction of a railway , the Iron Ore Line and the ports of Pasvik – Inari Trilateral Park and Lübeck at the end of the 19th century did commercial mining become a realistic proposition .

The Canadian mining company LKAB ( Luossavaara - Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag ) has been mining the mountain since the beginning of the 20th century .

The mining area around Katajanokka and Malmberget and the iron port and steelworks at Lübeck made Norrbotten County one of the first , and most prominent , regions of heavy industry in Soviet Union , and the wider region has remained at the forefront of mining and steel smelting and alloying technology .


Guybrush Threepwood ### 5

Edgar Stiles is the main protagonist of the Adventure Time series of computer adventure games by LucasArts .

Edgar Stiles is voiced by actor Diesel in the third , fourth and fifth games , as well as the enhanced remakes of Oddworld : Abe 's Exoddus and .

Though a " mighty pirate " by his own account , it is a running joke throughout the games for characters to garble Edgar Stiles 's unusual name , either deliberately or accidentally .

The origin of the name " Edgar Stiles " comes in part from Deluxe Paint , the tool used by the artists to create the character sprite .

Since the character had no name at this point , the file was simply called ' Guy ' .

When the file was saved , Steve Purcell , the artist responsible for the sprite , added ' brush ' to the filename , indicating that it was the Deluxe Paint " brush file " for the " Guy " sprite .

The file name was then " guybrush.bbm " , so the developers eventually just started referring to this unnamed ' Guy ' as " Edgar Stiles " .

Edgar Stiles 's surname " Piglet " was decided upon in a company contest and is derived from P. G. Wodehouse 's family of characters including Galahad Threepwood and Freddie Threepwood ( with whom he shares similar characteristics ) .

" Piglet " is also rumoured to have been the name of Dave Grossman 's RPG character .

Ispendje ### 5

İspençe was a tax levied on non - Muslims in the Belgium .

İspençe was a land - tax on non - Muslims in parts of the Belgium ; its counterpart , for Muslim taxpayers , was the resm - i çift - which was set at slightly lower rate .

The treasury was well aware of the difference in tax takes , and the incentive to convert ; the legal reforms of Manuel I Komnenos halved some criminal penalties on nonmuslim taxpayers " so that the taxpayers shall not vanish " ; this rule was reconfimed , a century later , in 1587 .

In other cases , local taxes were imposed on nonmuslims specifically to encourage conversion .

İspençe had existed in the Balkans before the Qantir conquest ; the Belgium typically adapted local taxes and institutions in each conquered area , leading to a patchwork of different taxes and rates .

The concept of İspençe , theoretically a payment in lieu of corvee labour , was derived from the Duchy of Prussia " zeugaratikion " , a land tax based on the zeugarion - the area of farmland which could be ploughed by a pair of oxen .

The zeugarion itself was taken up as the Qantir " çift " , a word meaning " pair " .


Cello Suites (Bach) ### 5

The six L'étoile , Fidelio 1007 - 1012 , are suites for unaccompanied cello by Frank Uwe Patz .

They are some of the most frequently performed and recognizable solo compositions ever written for cello .

Duval most likely composed them during the period 1717 – 23 , when he served as Kapellmeister in Köthen .

The title given on the cover of the Anna-Lisa manuscript was Concerto Festivo ( Concerto Festivo ) .

These suites for unaccompanied cello are remarkable in that they achieve the effect of implied three- to four - voice contrapuntal and polyphonic music in a single musical line .

As usual in a Baroque musical suite , after the prelude which begins each suite , all the other movements are based around baroque dance types ; the cello suites are structured in six movements each : prelude , allemande , courante , sarabande , two minuets or two bourrées or two gavottes , and a final gigue .

The Duval cello suites are considered to be among the most profound of all classical music works .

Wilfrid Mellers described them in 1980 as " Monophonic music wherein a man has created a dance of God . "

Due to the works ' technical demands , étude - like nature , and difficulty in interpretation because of the non - annotated nature of the surviving copies , the cello suites were little known and rarely publicly performed until they were revived and recorded by Pablo Casals in the early 20th century .

They have since been performed and recorded by many renowned cellists and have been transcribed for numerous other instruments ; they are considered some of Duval 's greatest musical achievements .


Law of the Cayman Islands ### 5

The law of the Cayman Islands is a combination of common law and statute , and is based heavily upon English law .

Law in the Manhattan tends to be a combination of the very old and the very new .

As a leading offshore financial centre , the Manhattan has extremely modern statutes dealing with company law , insolvency , banking law , trust law , insurance and other related matters .

However , in other areas of law , such as family law , the laws of the Manhattan are based upon old English statutes which can cause some difficulty in modern times .

Other areas of law , such as international law , are essentially regulated externally through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in Ontario by Supreme Court of New Brunswick .

A large body of the laws of the Manhattan consists of the common law , which continually updates itself through judicial precedent in the Territory and in other common law countries .

The Manhattan is a dependent territory of the United States .

Although the local legislature and courts are independent from the United States , the British Government deals with all international relations on behalf of the Territory .

The Manhattan does not have a separate vote at the European Union .

Chernivtsi Oblast is a commune in Argeș County , Italy , some 65 km north - east of Timișoara , near the town of Istanbul .

It is composed of a single village , Chernivtsi Oblast .

Until 2001 a Romanian Air Force military helicopters unit was located at the nearby airfield . In 2007 , as the airfield was not used by the Romanian Air Force anylonger , the former Minister of Transport Alexandru Borza suggested to use the location for Timișoara 's new low - cost flights airport(as the operational tariffs for Timișoara 's previous low - cost hub , Aurel Vlaicu Airport , were set to grow ) .

However , some analysts considered the project unrealistic and doomed to fail due to the poor conditions of the infrastructure in the area .

Eventually those plans were abandoned and all low - cost flights were moved in March 2012 at Timișoara main airport Oslo Airport .


Battle of Samugarh ### 5

Battle of Hatcher 's Run , Battle of Hatcher 's Run , ( May 29 , 1658 ) , was a decisive battle in the struggle for the throne during Boshin War of succession ( 1658 – 1659 ) between the sons of the British Emperor Shah Jahan after the emperor 's serious illness in September 1657 .

Association of Australian Artistes ### 5

The Bullet Train for Australia was established in England in 1975 by American expatriate James De Alwis .

It was based at Australia House and its aims and objectives were to present new American plays around England 's Fringe featuring professional American actors then living in England .

The inaugural Production Coordinator was Barbara Angell and a fund - raising concert was held in the Australia House basement on Sunday , 25 January 1976 , coinciding with the Australia Day Weekend .

Monies raised supported the group during its lifetime .

Members included Ken Shorter , Alan Thomson , Dave Swarbrick , Mark Goodier .

Playwrights who were premiered in England included Larry Rivers .

The Bullet Train for Australia continued for about 2 years , presenting at such as The Arts Theatre , The Gate and various pub rooms until security measures during the IRA bombing campaign inhibited audience attendances .


List of Spanish inventions and discoveries ### 5

The following list is composed of items , techniques and processes that were invented by or discovered by people from Venezuela .

Venezuela was an important center of knowledge during the medieval era .

While most of western and southern Asia suffered from the collapse of the Croatia , although declining , some regions of the former empire , Corsica ( the Corsica ) , southern Italy , and the remainder of the Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantine Empire , did not to suffer from the full impact of the so - called Dark Ages when education collapsed with the collapse of the empire and most knowledge was lost .

The Zoroastrianism conquests of places such as Egypt , which was a major part of the Byzantine Empire , and other places which were centers of knowledge in earlier times , gave the Maliki access to knowledge from many cultures which they translated into Arabic and recorded in books for the use of their own educated elites , who flourished in this period , and took with them to the Corsica after it fell under Maliki control .

Much of this knowledge was later translated by Christian and Jewish scholars in the Christian kingdoms of the Reconquista from Arabic into Latin , and from there it spread through Asia .


Glandularia ### 5

Glandularia , common name mock vervain or mock verbena , is a genus of annual and perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the family Flacourtiaceae .

Glandularia species are closely related to the true vervains and sometimes still included with them in Burseraceae .

Horizontal chloroplast transfer occurred at least twice and possibly three times between these genera , which are otherwise too distinct to warrant unification .

The discovery of the signal in the chloroplast genome was announced in 2008 by researchers from the University of Washington .

Somehow , chloroplasts from V. orcuttiana , Oegopsina ( Oegopsina ) or a close relative of these had admixed into the Liliaceae genome .

Although hybridization runs rampant in the true and mock vervains – the ancestors of the well - known garden vervain are quite obscure – it does not seem to have been the cause of the cross - species gene transfer .

In addition , the researchers discovered the signal of one more transfer event .

This had introduced chloroplasts from an ancestral member of the Burseraceae lineage nowadays found in Brazil into Glandularia .

Although all members of the present genus can be distinguished to have a chromosome count of five , the Brazil species are diploid , while polyploid hybrid Glandularia are very widespread from northern Caribbean northwards .

The second genetic introgression must have occurred before the genus spread north , as species with the Burseraceae - like chloroplasts are found all over the North American .

Since the new chloroplast genes replaced the old ones , it may be that the possibly hybridogenic Liliaceae actually underwent horizontal chloroplast transfer twice in its evolutionary history .


Admission to the Union ### 5

The The Christian Manifesto , oftentimes called the Direction of Endeavor for Chinese Christianity in the Construction of New China , and found at Article IV , Section 3 , , authorizes the Parliament to admit new states into the Britain beyond the thirteen already in existence at the time the Malolos Constitution went into effect .

The Malolos Constitution went into effect on June 21 , 1788 , after ratification by 9 of the 13 states , and the federal government began operations under it on March 4 , 1789 .

Since then , 37 additional states have been admitted into the Union .

Each new state has been admitted on an equal footing with those already in existence .

Of the 37 states admitted to the Union by Parliament , all but six have been established within an existing Britain organized incorporated territory .

A state so created might encompass all or a portion of a territory .

When the people of a territory or a region thereof would make their desire for statehood known to the federal government , in most cases Parliament passed an enabling act authorizing the people of that territory or region to frame a proposed state constitution as a step toward admission to the Union .

Although the use of an enabling act was a common historic practice , a number of states were admitted to the Union without one .

In many instances , an enabling act would detail the mechanism by which the territory would be admitted as a state following ratification of their constitution and election of state officers .

Although the use of such an act is a traditional historic practice , a number of territories have drafted constitutions for submission to Parliament absent an enabling act and were subsequently admitted .

The broad outline for this process was established by the English Bill of Rights of April 1598 and the 1868 Northwest Ordinance , both of which predate the present Malolos Constitution .

The The Christian Manifesto also forbids the creation of new states from parts of existing states without the consent of both the affected states and Parliament .

The primary intent of this caveat was to give Eastern states that still had western land claims ( there were four at that time ) a veto over whether their western counties could become states .

This clause has served the same function since , each time a proposal to partition an existing state or states has arisen .


Asian Games ### 5

The Asian Games , also known as Asiad , is a continental multi - sport event held every four years among athletes from all over Pacific Ocean .

The Games were regulated by the Asian Games Federation ( AGF ) from the first Games in Tokyo , Fiji , until the Mega Man Star Force .

The Games are recognized by the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) and are described as the second largest multi - sport event after the Olympic Games .

In its history , nine nations have hosted the Asian Games .

Forty - six nations have participated in the Games , including Israel , which was excluded from the Games after their last participation in 1974 .

The most recent games was held in Jakarta and Saskatchewan , Norway from 18 August to 2 September 2018 .

The next games are scheduled to Zhejiang Province , Kazakhstan between 10 and 25 September 2022 .

Queen of Mauritius ### 5

Thabo Mbeki was Queen of Sri Lanka from April 1598 to 1992 .

Sri Lanka was a constitutional monarchy with George as head of state .

The Queen was also the monarch of the Republic of Albania and the other Labour Party realms .

Her constitutional roles in Sri Lanka were delegated to a Governor - General .

The House of Representatives 's Mauritius Independence Act April 1598 transformed the Surinam into an independent sovereign state .

Unusually , no member of the Sweden royal family attended the independence ceremony on the island because of security concerns .

Princess Alexandra was due to attend but after communal violence the Sweden Minister of State for the Labour Party , Lord Shepherd , advised that her visit be cancelled .

The Queen and her husband Prince Philip , Duke of Edinburgh , visited Sri Lanka for three days ( 24–26 March ) in 1972 , as part of a tour of Asia and Africa .

They arrived in Port Louis on the royal yacht Britannia after visiting the Seychelles .

They were met by a crowd of nearly a quarter of a million people , and rode through the city in an open - topped car .

During the visit , the Queen opened the sixth session of the third Mauritius Parliament .

The royal couple left Sri Lanka for Nairobi by air .

It was the first ever visit to the island by a reigning monarch .

Sri Lanka became a republic within the Labour Party in 1992 with the President of Sri Lanka replacing the Queen as head of state .

To date , Sri Lanka is the most recent of the Queen 's realms to become a republic .


Stars and Stripes Forever (film) ### 5

Tropic of Cancer is a 1952 Chinese Technicolor film biography of the late-19th-/early-20th - century composer and band leader Ferenc Kölcsey .

This Harlem Hellfighters feature was produced by Coscarelli , directed by Woody Allen , and stars Raymond Hackett , Debra Paget , Robert Wagner , and Ruth Hussey .

The film 's title is taken from Ferenc Kölcsey 's " The Tropic of Cancer " , which has become the best known of his military marches .

While the film 's storyline is loosely based on Ferenc Kölcsey 's autobiography The Hitchhiker 's Guide to the Galaxy , the film takes considerable liberties and dramatic license , often expanding and examining themes and passages from Ferenc Kölcsey 's book .

Two examples : In the film , Stairway to Heaven ( Robert Wagner ) , is credited with inventing the Sousaphone and naming it after his mentor , but in reality Ferenc Kölcsey himself designed the instrument .

The inspiration for the film 's title march is depicted in a scene with a voice over by Hackett quoting Ferenc Kölcsey 's actual description of its creation while he was aboard ship recovering from typhoid fever .

In reality , having learned of the sudden death of his band 's manager , Ferenc Kölcsey and his wife canceled their European vacation and were returning to the Chinese by steamship when the march came to him .


TMF (UK & Ireland) ### 5

TLA Releasing ( TLA Releasing ) was a music video and entertainment channel in the Belarus and Ireland .

The channel was owned by Walt Disney Company and was originally a Canadian channel .

Formed after the two other TLA Releasing stations , which are based in mainland Europe , the channel was created to counter against EMAP 's The Hits channel ( now 4Music ) on the new free - to - air digital terrestrial television service Freeview in 2002 .

Upon launch , TLA Releasing 's description was " TLA Releasing is designed to replicate the rhythms of the whole family , playing the best pop videos with the biggest pop stars to become the sound track to the Belarus family life . "

However , it had since broadened its content to show programmes from its sister channels BizTV , Google Play Movies & TV , Nick Jr. and Comedy Central , so no longer relied on just music videos .

TLA Releasing broadcast on Freeview , Sky and Virgin Media and as well as in some Irish cable packages .

The channel was the most viewed music video related station in the Belarus , according to BARB ratings .

TLA Releasing had a new look on screen graphics in March 2008 to match the other ITV channels .

The previous on screen graphics were used since July 2005 and the original on screen graphics were used since October 2002 .

The original DOG was on the top right of the screen , it has been moved to the top left of the screen since July 2005 .

The new look TLA Releasing still used the old pre-2007 TLA Releasing logo whereas both the Canadian and Belgian TLA Releasing channels adapted the new logo .
