Vietnam War casualties

Estimates of casualties of the Vietnam War vary widely .

Estimates include both civilian and military deaths in North and South Vietnam , Laos , and Cambodia .

The conflict persisted from 1955 to 1975 and most of the fighting took place in South Vietnam ; accordingly it suffered the most casualties .

The war also spilled over into the neighboring countries of Cambodia and Laos which also endured casualties from aerial and ground fighting .

Civilian deaths caused by both sides amounted to a significant percentage of total deaths .

Civilian deaths were partly caused by assassinations , massacres and terror tactics .

Civilian deaths were also caused by mortar and artillery , extensive aerial bombing and the use of firepower in military operations conducted in heavily populated areas .

Some 365,000 Vietnamese civilians are estimated by one source to have died as a result of the war during the period of American involvement .

A number of incidents occurred during the war in which civilians were deliberately targeted or killed .

The best - known are the Massacre at Huế and the My Lai massacre .


Great Depression in the United Kingdom

The Great Depression in the United Kingdom , also known as the Great Slump , was a period of national economic downturn in the 1930s , which had its origins in the global Great Depression .

It was Britain 's largest and most profound economic depression of the 20th century .

The Great Depression originated in the United States in late 1929 and quickly spread to the world .

Britain had never experienced the boom that had characterized the U.S. , Germany , Canada and Australia in the 1920s , so its effect appeared less severe .

Britain 's world trade fell by half ( 1929–33 ) , the output of heavy industry fell by a third , employment profits plunged in nearly all sectors .

At the depth in summer 1932 , registered unemployed numbered 3.5 million , and many more had only part - time employment .

Particularly hardest hit by economic problems were the industrial and mining areas in the north of England , Scotland , Northern Ireland and Wales .

Unemployment reached 70 % in some areas at the start of the 1930s ( with more than 3 million out of work nationally ) and many families depended entirely on payments from local government known as the dole .

Politically the Conservative Party dominated the era and the Labour Party was seriously hurt .

A Charlie Brown Christmas

A Charlie Brown Christmas is a 1965 animated television special based on the comic strip Peanuts , by Charles M. Schulz .

Produced by Lee Mendelson and directed by Bill Melendez , the program made its debut on CBS on December 9 , 1965 .

In the special , lead character Charlie Brown finds himself depressed despite the onset of the cheerful holiday season .

Lucy suggests he direct a neighborhood Christmas play , but his best efforts are ignored and mocked by his peers .

After Linus tells Charlie Brown about the true meaning of Christmas , Charlie Brown cheers up , and the Peanuts gang unites to celebrate the Christmas season .

Peanuts had become a phenomenon worldwide by the mid-1960s , and the special was commissioned and sponsored by The Coca - Cola Company .

It was written over a period of several weeks , and animated on a shoestring budget in only six months .

In casting the characters , the producers went an unconventional route , hiring child actors .

The program 's soundtrack was similarly unorthodox : it features a jazz score by pianist Vince Guaraldi .

Its absence of a laugh track ( a staple in US television animation in this period ) , in addition to its tone , pacing , music , and animation , led both the producers and network to predict the project would be a disaster preceding its broadcast .

Contrary to that apprehension , A Charlie Brown Christmas received high ratings and acclaim from critics .

It has since been honored with both an Emmy and Peabody Award .

It became an annual broadcast in the United States , and has been aired during the Christmas season traditionally every year since its premiere .

Its success paved the way for a series of Peanuts television specials and films .

Its jazz soundtrack also achieved commercial success , selling 4 million copies in the US .

Live theatrical versions of A Charlie Brown Christmas have been staged .

ABC currently holds the rights to the special and broadcasts it at least twice during the weeks leading up to Christmas .

Occhi di ragazza

" Occhi di ragazza " ( " Girl 's eyes " ) was the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1970 , performed in Italian by Gianni Morandi .

The song is a ballad , with Morandi musing on the power of his lover 's eyes .

Initially , he describes them as windows into her soul and places where he can see their future .

The song ends , however , on something of a pessimistic note , as he explains that these same eyes will one day fill with tears as their relationship ends .

The song was performed third on the night , following Switzerland 's Henri Dès with " Retour " and preceding Yugoslavia 's Eva Sršen with " Pridi , dala ti bom cvet " .

At the close of voting , it had received 5 points , placing it 8th in a field of 12 .

It was succeeded as Italian representative at the 1971 Contest by Massimo Ranieri with " L'amore è un attimo " .


The Reivers

The Reivers : A Reminiscence , published in 1962 , is the last novel by the American author William Faulkner .

The bestselling novel was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1963 .

Faulkner previously won this award for his book A Fable , making him one of only three authors to be awarded it more than once .

Unlike many of his earlier works , it is a straightforward narration and eschews the complicated literary techniques of his more well known works .

It is a picaresque novel , and as such may seem uncharacteristically lighthearted given its subject matter .

For these reasons , The Reivers is often ignored by Faulkner scholars or dismissed as a lesser work .

He previously had referred to writing a " Golden Book of Yoknapatawpha County " with which he would finish his literary career .

It is likely that The Reivers was meant to be this " Golden Book " .

The Reivers was adapted into a 1969 film directed by Mark Rydell and starring Steve McQueen as Boon Hogganbeck .


Japanese invasion of French Indochina

The was a short undeclared military confrontation between the Empire of Japan and the French State in northern Indochina .

Fighting lasted from 22 to 26 September 1940 , simultaneous with the Battle of South Guangxi in the Sino - Japanese War .

The main objective of the Japanese was to prevent the Republic of China from importing arms and fuel through French Indochina along the Kunming – Hai Phong Railway , from the Indochinese port of Haiphong , through the capital of Hanoi to the Chinese city of Kunming in Yunnan .

Although an agreement had been reached between the French and Japanese governments prior to the outbreak of fighting , authorities were unable to control events on the ground for several days before the troops stood down .

Per the prior agreement , Japan was allowed to occupy Tonkin in northern Indochina and effectively blockade China .


Peter Lawford

Anicia Juliana

Anicia Juliana ( Constantinople , 462 – 527/528 ) was a Roman imperial princess , the daughter of the Western Roman Emperor Olybrius , of the Anicii , by Placidia the younger daughter of Emperor Valentinian III and Licinia Eudoxia .

She married Flavius Areobindus Dagalaiphus Areobindus , and their children included Olybrius , consul for 491 .

With her husband , she spent her life at the pre - Justinian court of Constantinople , of which she was considered " both the most aristocratic and the wealthiest inhabitant " .

Her glittering genealogy aside , Juliana is primarily remembered as one of the first non - reigning female patrons of art in recorded history .

From what little we know about her personal predilections , it appears that she " directly intervened in determining the content , as well , perhaps , as the style " of the works she commissioned .

Her pro - Roman political views , as espoused in her letter to Pope Hormisdas ( preserved in the royal library of the Escorial ) are reflected in the chronicle of Marcellinus Comes , who has been associated with her literary circle .

Whether Juliana entertained political ambitions of her own is uncertain , but it is known that her husband declined to take up the crown during the 512 riots .

Although she resolutely opposed the Monophysite leanings of Emperor Anastasius , she permitted her son Olybrius to marry the Emperor 's niece .

Of True Religion

Of True Religion , Heresy , Schism , Toleration ; and what best means may be used against the Growth of Popery is the title of a polemical tract against the popery of the Roman Catholic Church written by John Milton which was published in London in 1673 .

The tract addresses Milton 's own problems with the doctrines , practices , and ceremonies associated with the pope or the papal system of the Roman Catholic Church and , with what Milton called , the implicit faith of its members .

The anti - Catholic ideas in Milton 's writing are in direct response to the tolerant stance of King Charles II of England toward the Roman Catholic Church .

Pro - Catholic sentiments had not been popular in England since the very bloody reign of the devout Roman Catholic queen Mary I of England .

The obvious anti - Catholic ideas present in Milton 's writing , coupled with Milton 's own influence , may have inspired such social movements as the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the eventual passing of the Popery Act of 1698 .


Yale College

Yale College is the undergraduate liberal arts college of Yale University .

Founded in 1701 , it is the original school of the university .

Although other schools of the university were founded as early as 1810 , all of Yale was officially known as Yale College until 1887 , when its schools were confederated and the institution was renamed Yale University .

Originally established to train Congregationalist ministers , the college began teaching humanities and natural sciences by the late 18th century .

At the same time , students began organizing extracurricular organizations , first literary societies , and later publications , sports teams , and singing groups .

By the mid-19th century , it was the largest college in the United States .

In 1847 , it was joined by another undergraduate degree - granting school at Yale , the Sheffield Scientific School , which was absorbed into the college in the mid-20th century .

These merged curricula became the basis of the modern - day liberal arts curriculum , which requires students to take courses in a broad range of subjects , including foreign language , composition , sciences , and quantitative reasoning , in addition to electing a departmental major in their sophomore year .

The most distinctive feature of undergraduate life is the school 's system of residential colleges , established in 1932 and modeled after constituent schools of English universities .

All undergraduates live in these colleges after their freshman year , when most live on the school 's Old Campus .

Da yuan shuai

Da yuan shuai ( ta yuan shuai ; ) was a Chinese military rank , usually translated as grand marshal or generalissimo .

The rank was replaced by the Nationalist Government with the " general special class " or " generalissimo " ( 特級上將 Tèjí shàng jiàng ) and awarded to Chiang Kai - shek in 1935 .

The rank of " grand marshal of the People 's Republic of China " ( 中華人民共和國大元帥 Zhōnghuá rénmín gònghéguó dàyuánshuài ) was proposed after the establishment of the People 's Republic ( perhaps for Mao Zedong ) , but was never conferred .


Saiga antelope

The saiga antelope ( , Saiga tatarica ) is a critically endangered antelope that originally inhabited a vast area of the Eurasian steppe zone from the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains and Caucasus into Dzungaria and Mongolia .

They also lived in Beringian North America during the Pleistocene .

Today , the dominant subspecies ( S. t. tatarica ) is only found in one location in Russia ( in the Republic of Kalmykia and Astrakhan Oblast ) and three areas in Kazakhstan ( the Ural , Ustiurt , and Betpak - Dala populations ) .

A proportion of the Ustiurt population migrates south to Uzbekistan and occasionally Turkmenistan in winter .

It is extinct in the People 's Republic of China and southwestern Mongolia .

It was hunted extensively in Romania and Moldova until it became extinct in those regions at the end of the 18th century .

The Mongolian subspecies ( S. t. mongolica ) is found only in western Mongolia .


Girolamo Parabosco

Girolamo Parabosco ( c. 1524 – April 21 , 1557 ) was an Italian writer , composer , organist , and poet of the Renaissance .

He was born in Piacenza , the son of a famous organist , Vincenzo Parabosco .

Little is known of his childhood , but he went to Venice early for his musical education and is mentioned as a student of Adrian Willaert , the founder of the Venetian School , near the end of 1541 .

In 1546 he visited Florence as a guest of Francesco Corteccia , musician to the Medici and the leading musician of that city .

After a period of travels , during which he visited other cities in northern Italy , he returned to Venice and became first organist at St. Mark 's , which was at that time becoming one of the most distinguished musical institutions in Italy .

He remained employed by St. Mark 's for the rest of his life , and died in Venice in 1557 .

He wrote Rime and prose comedies , but he is best known by I Diporti , a collection of stories after the model of Boccaccio 's Decameron supposed to be told by a fowling - party weatherbound on an island in the Venetian lagoons .

Of his compositions , a book of madrigals for five voices , published in Venice in 1546 , remains , as well as four other madrigals published in 1541 and 1544 , and some instrumental music .

The style of the madrigals is similar to that of Willaert , but even more densely polyphonic than that of his teacher ; they are more akin to motets than to most of the madrigals being written in Italy in the early 1540s .

One of his instrumental works is a ricercar based on " Da Pacem " , the antiphon for peace ; it may have been written for the end of the war in 1540 between Venice and the Ottoman Turks .


Music of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

The music for the 2013 action role - playing game , developed and published by Square Enix , was composed by Masashi Hamauzu , Naoshi Mizuta , and Mitsuto Suzuki .

Hamauzu was the leader composer for XIII and XIII-2 , and Mizuta and Suzuki previously composed music for XIII-2 .

Musicians who had previously worked with the composers on XIII-2 and The 3rd Birthday worked on the project in Japan , while the main soundtrack was performed and recorded in Boston by the Video Game Orchestra , conducted by Shota Nakama .

Along with including more percussion and ethnic elements , the soundtrack used " Blinded by Light " , the main theme for main character Lightning , as a leitmotif .

Unlike the previous XIII games , the soundtrack did not include a theme song , as the composers felt it would detract from the emotional impact of the ending .

Three albums have been released : the promotional Lightning Returns : Final Fantasy XIII Pre Soundtrack in July 2013 , the Lightning Returns : Final Fantasy XIII Original Soundtrack in November 2013 , and Lightning Returns : Final Fantasy XIII Soundtrack Plus in March 2014 .

The music has received a mostly positive response from reviewers .

The main soundtrack , despite some tracks being critiqued , was generally praised as a good selection of music and a fitting conclusion to the music of the Final Fantasy XIII series .

She is secretary to M , who is Bond 's superior officer and head of the British Secret Intelligence Service ( MI6 ) .

On that note , she is not always considered to be a Bond girl , having never had anything more than a professional relationship with Bond .

Although not given a first name by Fleming , the character was given the name Jane in the spin - off book series , The Moneypenny Diaries ; in the films , she received the first name of Eve in Skyfall ( 2012 ) , where the character spent time as a field agent before becoming secretary to M.

As Preceptor of the Templars in France from 1143 , he was one of the highest dignitaries of the Order when Robert de Craon died in 1147 .

Adolphe Deschamps

Adolphe Deschamps (; also Dechamps ; 17 June 1807 – 19 July 1875 ) was a Belgian statesman and publisher , the brother of Cardinal Victor - Auguste - Isidor Deschamps .

He entered public life about 1830 and soon became popular through his contributions to several Catholic newspapers .

Having founded , with his friend Pierre de Decker , La Revue de Bruxelles , he advocated in that paper a system of parliamentary government which was termed " government of the centres " .

The ministries were to be composed of Catholics and Liberals and to be supported by the moderate elements of the two parties .

In 1834 Dechamps was elected to the Belgian Chamber of Representatives , where his talent as an orator soon secured him a prominent position .

In 1836 he participated very actively in the discussion of the bill on the organization of the communes , and in 1839 he opposed the Treaty of London , 1839 .

The Great Powers had imposed that treaty on Belgium and the Netherlands in 1834 , but the latter had delayed accepting it in the hope that she might eventually obtain better conditions .

Deschamps , with many others , held that by this delay the Netherlands had forfeited her right to the advantages granted her by the Powers and they urged the Government to appeal to arms rather than to surrender any part of Belgian territory .

This warlike policy , however , would have been opposed by the Great Powers , and peace was finally signed with the Netherlands .

He also played a leading part in the passing of the bill on elementary education .

Up to 1842 there had been no elementary public schools in Belgium , although there were numerous schools organized under the direction of the clergy .

One of the provisions of the new bill enacted that religious instruction was to form an essential part of public education and to be under the control of the clergy .

The bill was passed almost unanimously by the votes of both Catholics and Liberals .

From 1843 to 1848 Dechamps was a member of several ministries .

After the defeat of his party in 1848 he became the leader of the Catholic minority in the Chamber of Representatives and retained that position for several years .

In 1864 he retired from politics and engaged in financial enterprises , but his ventures proved unsuccessful .

John J. Pershing College

John J. Pershing College was a private liberal arts college that operated from 1966 to 1971 in Beatrice , Nebraska , United States .

Pershing was one of several Midwestern colleges established by local civic leaders with the support and encouragement of Parsons College in Fairfield , Iowa .

These Parsons " satellite schools " were by - products of the strong growth and apparent success of Parsons during the late 1950s and early 1960s , and all followed the " Parsons Plan " academic model developed at that school .

None of the schools , however , were ultimately successful .

The " Parsons Plan " academic model employed at Pershing was the brainchild of Millard Roberts , the president of Parsons College from 1955 to 1967 .

The multi - faceted plan featured innovative teaching and administrative techniques , and emphasized the recruitment of a geographically and academically diverse student body .

Among other characteristics , the " Parsons Plan " schools welcomed unconventional students who had not seen success at other colleges .

In the 1960s , the schools were also attended by a substantial number of young men seeking draft deferments that would allow them to avoid military service during the Vietnam War .

At least initially , Pershing 's reputation and fortunes were strongly tied to those of Parsons , and when Parsons faltered in the late 1960s the prospects for Pershing and the other Parsons satellite schools grew bleak .

Although the satellite schools ended their relationships with Parsons , they suffered from a lack of funding , high student turnover , and accreditation issues .

Ultimately , none of the " Parsons Plan " colleges became economically viable , and all closed by the mid-1970s .

Pershing College ceased operating in 1971 , and its former site is now occupied by the Beatrice campus of Southeast Community College .

Henry IV of France's wives and mistresses

Henry IV of France 's wives and mistresses played a significant role in the politics of his reign .

Both Henry ( 1553 – 1610 ) and his first wife Marguerite of Valois , whom he married in 1572 , were repeatedly unfaithful to each other , and the collapse of their marriage led to their estrangement and living apart .

Although Henry fathered children with a series of mistresses , his lack of a legitimate heir became a cause of concern , and his marriage was not annulled until 1599 .

In 1600 , at the age of forty - six , he married his second wife , Marie de ' Medici , who bore him six children , including the future Louis XIII .

Henry was unfaithful to his second wife as well and insisted that she raise his illegitimate children along with her own .

Henry 's womanising became legendary , earning him the nickname of Le Vert Galant .

His sexual appetite was said to have been insatiable , and he always kept mistresses , often several at a time , as well as engaging in random sexual encounters and visits to brothels .

Even so , he tended to elevate one mistress above the others and shower her with money , honours , and promises .

His two most famous mistresses of this type were Gabrielle d'Estrées , who died in 1599 , and her successor , Henriette d'Entragues , who involved herself in plots against the crown .

Henry promised marriage to each of them , exposing himself to a series of political problems .

Emily Murphy

Emily Murphy ( born Emily Gowan Ferguson ; 14 March 186827 October 1933 ) was a Canadian women 's rights activist , jurist , and author .

In 1916 , she became the first female magistrate in Canada , and in the British Empire .

She is best known for her contributions to Canadian feminism , specifically to the question of whether women were " persons " under Canadian law .

Murphy is known as one of " The Famous Five " ( also called " The Valiant Five")—a group of Canadian women 's rights activists that also included Henrietta Muir Edwards , Nellie McClung , Louise McKinney and Irene Parlby .

In 1927 , the women launched the " Persons Case , " contending that women could be " qualified persons " eligible to sit in the Senate .

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that they were not .

However , upon appeal to the Judicial Committee of the British Privy Council , the court of last resort for Canada at that time , the women won their case .

However , there has been some criticism of her later work , mainly for her role in the Sexual Sterilization Act of Alberta and her allegations that a ring of immigrants from other countries , particularly China , would corrupt the white race by getting Canadians hooked on drugs .

In her book The Black Candle , she wrote : " It is hardly credible that the average Chinese peddler has any definite idea in his mind of bringing about the downfall of the white race , his swaying motive being probably that of greed , but in the hands of his superiors , he may become a powerful instrument to that end .

Monroe–Pinkney Treaty

The Monroe – Pinkney Treaty of 1806 was a treaty drawn up by diplomats of the United States and Britain as a renewal of the Jay Treaty of 1795 .

It was rejected by President Thomas Jefferson and never took effect .

The treaty was negotiated by minister to England James Monroe and his associate William Pinkney on behalf of the administration of President Thomas Jefferson , and Lord Holland and Lord Auckland on behalf of the " Ministry of All the Talents " government headed by Lord Grenville .

For the Americans , the goal of the treaty was to make the British abandon the practice of impressing sailors from American ships , as well as to address the neutral trading rights of American vessels in the ongoing Napoleonic Wars , among other commercial concerns .

However , the British were short of manpower for the Royal Navy and believed that many British deserters were serving on American ships .

In the desperate war against Napoleon , the British believed that they could not afford to abandon impressment : offending the Americans was seen as a much lesser evil than losing to Napoleon .

Therefore , no concessions on the issue of impressment were made .

The negotiations were begun on 27 August 1806 , and the treaty was signed on 31 December , 1806 .

President Jefferson received the treaty in March 1807 , but was disappointed and refused to submit it to the Senate for ratification .

This failure to resolve differences over the issue of impressment and neutral trading rights contributed to the coming of the War of 1812 .


Nashe Vremya

Nashe Vremya ( , Our Time ) was a literary and political newspaper published in 1860 - 1863 in Moscow by Nikolai Pavlov .

It started out as a liberal weekly , then , after some talks that Pavlov had had with the then Minister of Interior Pyotr Valuyev ( which involved the promise of the financial support , among other things ) , in early 1862 became a conservative daily , whose agenda was formulated in the January issue by Boris Chicherin in his article " Measure and Limits " ( Мера и границы ) .

The newspaper proclaimed itself to be the ' liberally conservative ' publication aiming at guarding the interests of the Russian dvoryanstvo as " the only class where the fire of the enlightenment is being kept . "

Among the authors who contributed to Nashe Vremya regularly , were Nikolai Berg , Alexander Rotchev , Mikhail Pogodin , Fyodor Tyutchev .


Rafael Carrera

José Rafael Carrera Turcios ( 24 October 1814 – 14 April 1865 ) was the president of Guatemala from 1844 to 1848 and from 1851 until his death in 1865 , after being appointed President for Life in 1854 .

During his military career and presidency , new nations in Central America were facing numerous problems : William Walker 's invasions , liberal attempts to overthrow the Catholic Church and aristocrats ' power , the Civil War in the United States , Mayan uprising in the east , Belize boundary dispute with England , and the wars in Mexico under Benito Juarez .

This led to a rise of caudillos , a term that refers to charismatic populist leaders among the indigenous people .

Many regional and national caudillos were interested in power for their own gain .

Carrera was an exception as he genuinely took the interests of Guatemala 's Indian majority to heart .

Backed by the Catholic Church , conservatives of the Aycinena clan led by Juan José de Aycinena y Piñol , and mestizo and indigenist peasants , he dominated politics in the first three decades of Guatemala 's independence more than any other individual .

He led the revolt against the liberal state government of Mariano Galvez in Guatemala , and then was instrumental in breaking up the Federal Republic of Central America that the liberals wanted .

As a result , once the liberals took over power in Guatemala in 1871 , Carrera 's character and regime were dismissed and demonized , making him look as an illiterate who could not even write his own name and was a puppet of the aristocrats .

Over the years , even Marxist writers who wanted to show how the native Guatemalans have been exploited by the elites completely ignored Carrera 's interest in them and accused him of racism and being a " little king " .
