Coming Down Again

" Coming Down Again " is a song by the Rolling Stones featured on their 1973 album Goats Head Soup .

It is sung as a duet by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger .

Credited to Jagger / Richards , " Coming Down Again " is largely the work of Richards , who went as far as to say " ' Coming Down Again ' is my song " at the time of its release .

A slower ballad similar in mood to another track on the album , " Angie " , the lyrics tell of Richards ' relationship with then - girlfriend Anita Pallenberg , who had chosen to abandon her romantic liaison with his friend and bandmate Brian Jones in favour of one with Richards .

The song opens with Stones recording veteran Nicky Hopkins playing keyboards alongside a fluid , prominent bassline performed by Mick Taylor .

Guitars are performed by Richards , who uses the wah - wah pedal for much of the song ( an effect used often on Goats Head Soup ) , as well as Leslie speakers .

Charlie Watts performs a " trademark start - stop drum arrangement ... that by now had become a familiar device . "

Bobby Keys performs a saxophone solo near the middle of the song .

Jagger gives support to Richards on backing vocals .

Recorded in Kingston 's Dynamic Sound Studios in November and December , 1972 , " Coming Down Again " is regarded as one of Richards ' best lead vocal performances .

Despite some popularity , Richards has never performed the song live on tour with the Rolling Stones .

Temple of Anahita, Kangavar

The Anahita Temple ( ) is the name of one of two archaeological sites in Iran popularly thought to have been attributed to the ancient deity Anahita .

The larger and more widely known of the two is located at Kangāvar in Kermanshah Province .

The remains at Kangavar reveal an edifice that is Hellenistic in character , and yet display Persian architectural designs .

The plinth 's enormous dimensions for example , which measure just over 200 m on a side , and its megalithic foundations , which echo Achaemenid stone platforms , " constitute Persian elements " .

This is thought to be corroborated by the " two lateral stairways that ascend the massive stone platform recalling Achaemenid traditions " , particularly that of the Apadana Palace at Persepolis .

Another Iranian construction with Hellenistic characteristics is the Khurra mausoleum in Markazi Province .

Notre-Dame de Paris

Notre - Dame de Paris (; ; meaning " Our Lady of Paris " ) , also known as Notre - Dame Cathedral or simply Notre - Dame , is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris , France .

The cathedral is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture .

The innovative use of the rib vault and flying buttress , the enormous and colorful rose windows , and the naturalism and abundance of its sculptural decoration all set it apart from earlier Romanesque architecture .

The cathedral was begun in 1160 and largely completed by 1260 , though it was modified frequently in the following centuries .

In the 1790s , Notre - Dame suffered desecration during the French Revolution when much of its religious imagery was damaged or destroyed .

Soon after the publication of Victor Hugo 's novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1831 , popular interest in the building revived .

A major restoration project supervised by Eugène Viollet - le - Duc began in 1845 and continued for twenty - five years .

Beginning in 1963 , the facade of the Cathedral was cleaned of centuries of soot and grime , returning it to its original color .

Another campaign of cleaning and restoration was carried out from 1991 - 2000 .

As the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Paris , Notre - Dame contains the cathedra of the Archbishop of Paris , currently Michel Aupetit .

12 million people visit Notre - Dame yearly , which makes it the most visited monument in Paris .

Capture of Jericho

The Capture of Jericho occurred between 19 and 21 February 1918 to the east of Jerusalem beginning the Occupation of the Jordan Valley during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of the First World War .

Fighting took place in an area bordered by the Bethlehem – Nablus road in the west , the Jordan River in the east , and north of a line from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea .

Here a British Empire force attacked Ottoman positions , forcing them back to Jericho and eventually across the Jordan River .

Winter rains put an end to campaigning after the advance from the Gaza – Beersheba line to the capture of Jerusalem in December 1917 .

This lull in the fighting offered the opportunity for the captured territories to be consolidated .

Extensive developments were also required along the lines of communication to ensure that front - line troops were adequately supplied , approximately from their main bases at Moascar and Kantara on the Suez Canal .

General Edmund Allenby 's initial strategic plans focused on his open right flank .

If attacked with sufficiently large forces , he could be outflanked by an attack from the east — unlike his left flank which rested securely on the Mediterranean Sea to the west .

His aim was to capture the territory east of Jerusalem stretching to the Dead Sea , where his right flank could be more secure .

The area was garrisoned by Ottoman troops entrenched on hill - tops which the British infantry , Australian light horse and New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigades attacked .

The infantry captured Talat ed Dumm on the main Jerusalem to Jericho road , while the light horse and mounted rifle brigades captured Jericho and the area to the south bordered by the Jordan River and the Dead Sea .

Instrument (film)

Instrument is a documentary film directed by Jem Cohen about the band Fugazi .

Cohen 's relationship with band member Ian MacKaye extends back to the 1970s when the two met in high school in Washington , D.C ..

The film takes its title from the Fugazi song of the same name , from their 1993 album , In on the Kill Taker .

Editing of the film was done by both Cohen and the members of the band over the course of five years .

It was shot from 1987 through 1998 on super 8 , 16 mm and video and is composed mainly of footage of concerts , interviews with the band members , practices , tours and time spent in the studio recording their 1995 album , Red Medicine .

The film also includes portraits of fans as well as interviews with them at various Fugazi shows around the United States throughout the years .

The Instrument Soundtrack by Fugazi was released in conjunction with the film .

It consisted primarily of instrumental and unreleased songs ( including many demo cuts from End Hits , their next album after the soundtrack ) .

When asked what the goal was in making Instrument , Cohen responded :

One such misconception is shared in a scene where drummer Brendan Canty tells his bandmates how his sister 's boyfriend believes that Fugazi lives in a house together without heat and subsisting on a steady diet of nothing but rice .

Cohen has also said that " [ o]ne of the reasons why I work with Fugazi and they work with me is that we enjoy traveling through this madness .

It 's what they write songs about and it 's what I try to document in my films . "

Notable scenes in the film include Fugazi performing for inmates at Lorton Correctional Facility ; singer / guitarist Guy Picciotto 's hilarious and astounding performance in a Philadelphia college gym in 1988 , where he stuffs himself through a basketball hoop and performs hanging upside down by his legs ( filmed by Todd Crespi ) ; and an interview of Guy Picciotto and Ian MacKaye by an 8th grade girl for a Public - access television cable TV show .


Barbro Stigsdotter

Barbro Stigsdotter ( 1472 - 1528 ) , was a Swedish noble .

She is famous for her part in the Vasasagan ( Vasa Saga ) , the traditional national legend about the accession to the throne of King Gustav Vasa of Sweden .

Barbro Stigsdotter was the daughter of Stig Hansson , a Vogt of the mine Jönshyttan in Tuna , and married the noble Are nt Persson of Ornäs .

According to the chronicle of Peder Swart , Gustav Vasa , who was hunted by the Danes , passed her home as a guest during his flight from the Danes in 1520 .

Her spouse was to have planned to have him taken prisoner and delivered to the Danes .

Barbro Stigsdotter , however , warned Gustav Vasa , which made is possible for him to escape capture .

As this eventually lead to Sweden becoming independent from the Danes with Vasa as its monarch , her act of loyalty made her a national heroine in the chronicle .

There is another document that claims that it was not her spouse , but her father , whom she defied by thwarting his plans of delivering Vasa to the Danes .

Except for the uncertainty on this detail , the account of her saving Gustav Vasa on this occasion is regarded to be genuine and accurate .

In the national National Portrait Gallery ( Sweden ) of Gripsholm , which was opened in the 1822 , her portrait was featured among six of the most famous Swedish women in history along with Bridget of Sweden , Sophia Rosenhane , Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht , Sophia Elisabet Brenner and Vendela Skytte .

Crkvine (Stubline)

Crkvine ( ) is a Neolithic locality and an archaeological site in the village of Stubline in the municipality of Obrenovac , which is part of the City of Belgrade , the capital of Serbia .

The Neolithic settlement is dated to the 5th millennium BC and was part of the Vinča culture .

The research of the site began in 1962 and the locality was declared a cultural monument in 2014 .

The site gives an unprecedented possibility of researching the architecture and urbanism of the Vinča culture as it marks the previously unrecorded and unique settlement type of this cultural group .

Taking in account its geographical position , a regular street - like layout of houses , close economic and , presumably , social connections with the surrounding contemporary settlements and beyond , the Crkvine settlement appears to be a " burgeoning proto - urban society " , in the region bounded by three rivers , the Sava , Kolubara and Tamnava .

List of people who have declined or renounced Indian honours and decorations

The following is an incomplete list of people who have either declined or renounced an Indian honour or decoration .

These include recipients of the Bharat Ratna and the Padma awards ( Padma Vibhushan , Padma Bhushan , Padma Shri ) , along with other Indian governmental awards .

In some instances , the families of an intended posthumous recipient of a national honour have declined the award for various reasons .

The President of India may cancel and annul any honour if the recipient commits any acts of criminal misconduct or otherwise abuses the award .

As there are no specific guidelines for otherwise withdrawing a national honour from a recipient , the acts of returning / renouncing an award to register a protest , or refusing an award after an official awards list has been published , are only symbolic actions .

For instance , while independence activist and educationist Asha Devi Aryanayakam refused the Padma Shri after it was conferred upon her in 1954 , she remains on the official register of Padma awardees .

In 1984 , poet and novelist Khushwant Singh , a 1974 Padma Bhushan honoree , returned the honour to protest the Indian army 's Operation Blue Star ; in spite of this , he remains listed as a Padma Bhushan recipient .

Sidi Saiyyed Mosque

The Sidi Saiyyed Mosque , popularly known as Sidi Saiyyid ni Jali locally , built in 1572 - 73 AD ( Hijri year 980 ) , is one of the most famous mosques of Ahmedabad , Gujarat , India .

As attested by the marble tablet fixed on the wall of the mosque , it was built by Sidi Saiyyid in the retinue of Bilal Jhajar Khan , general in the army of the last Sultan Shams - ud - Din Muzaffar Shah III of the Gujarat Sultanate .

The mosque was built in the last year of the existence of Gujarat Sultanate .

The mosque is entirely arcuated and is known for its ten intricately carved stone latticework windows ( jalis ) on the side and rear arches .

The rear wall is filled with square stone pierced panels in geometrical designs .

The two bays flanking the central aisle have reticulated stone slabs carved in designs of intertwined trees and foliage and a palm motif .

This intricately carved lattice stone window is the Sidi Saiyyed Jali , the unofficial symbol of city of Ahmedabad and the inspiration for the design of the logo of the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad .

The central window arch of the mosque , where one would expect to see another intricate jali , is instead walled with stone .

This is possibly because the mosque was not completed according to plan before the Mughals invaded Gujarat .

Father's Day (Doctor Who)

" Father 's Day " is the eighth episode of the first series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who , first broadcast on 14 May 2005 on BBC One .

It was written by Paul Cornell and directed by Joe Ahearne .

In the episode , alien time traveller the Doctor ( Christopher Eccleston ) agrees to take his companion Rose Tyler ( Billie Piper ) back to the day her father Pete ( Shaun Dingwall ) died in 1987 .

When Rose intervenes and pulls her father out of the path of a car , time is wounded and dangerous Reapers attack , threatening to erase history .

Pete eventually realises that to get rid of the Reapers , he must throw himself under the car that was originally meant to kill him .

Lead writer and executive producer Russell T Davies conceived " Father 's Day " as an emotionally driven time travel story to explore Rose 's character .

He chose Cornell to write the episode ; Cornell had written spin - off material during the years the programme was on hiatus .

The monster element of the story was expanded based on suggestions from Cornell and BBC Head of Drama Jane Tranter , and the Reapers went through many designs .

The episode was filmed in November 2004 at St Paul 's Church and streets in Cardiff .

" Father 's Day " was watched by 8.06 million viewers in the United Kingdom and received generally positive reviews .

Critics praised the focus on character and emotion .


Distributed Component Object Model

Distributed Computing Environment/Remote Procedure Calls

Distributed Component Object Model ( DCOM ) is a proprietary Microsoft technology for communication between software components on networked computers .

DCOM , which originally was called " Network OLE " , extends Microsoft 's COM , and provides the communication substrate under Microsoft 's COM+ application server infrastructure .

The addition of the " D " to COM was due to extensive use of DCE / RPC ( Distributed Computing Environment / Remote Procedure Calls ) – more specifically Microsoft 's enhanced version , known as MSRPC .

In terms of the extensions it added to COM , DCOM had to solve the problems of

Marshalling – serializing and deserializing the arguments and return values of method calls " over the wire " .

Distributed garbage collection – ensuring that references held by clients of interfaces are released when , for example , the client process crashed , or the network connection was lost .

It had to combine Hundreds / Tens of Thousands of objects held in the client 's browser with a single transmission in order to minimize bandwidth utilization .

One of the key factors in solving these problems is the use of DCE / RPC as the underlying RPC mechanism behind DCOM .

DCE / RPC has strictly defined rules regarding marshalling and who is responsible for freeing memory .

Proponents of both of these technologies saw them as one day becoming the model for code and service - reuse over the Internet .

However , the difficulties involved in getting either of these technologies to work over Internet firewalls , and on unknown and insecure machines , meant that normal HTTP requests in combination with web browsers won out over both of them .

Microsoft , at one point , attempted and failed to head this off by adding an extra http transport to DCE / RPC called ncacn_http ( Network Computing Architecture connection - oriented protocol ) .

This was later resurrected to support a Microsoft Exchange 2003 connection over HTTP .

DCOM is supported natively in Windows NT 4.0 , Windows 2000 , Windows XP , and Windows Server 2003 , as well as Windows 7 , Windows 8 , Windows 10 , Windows Server 2008 , Windows Server 2008 R2 , Windows Server 2012 , Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016 .


Satellite (Nickelback song)

" Satellite " is a song recorded by Canadian rock group Nickelback for their eighth studio album , No Fixed Address ( 2014 ) .

A pop rock " power ballad " about an all - encompassing love , the song was written by group members Chad Kroeger and Ryan Peake with Josh Ramsay and David Hodges .

Nickelback co - produced the track with Chris Baseford .

" Satellite " was released March 23 , 2015 as the album 's sixth single and serves as the second pop single in continental Europe .

The song was later serviced to hot adult contemporary radio stations in the United States on May 11 , 2015 as the album 's third pop single in North America .

An accompanying music video for the song , directed by Nigel Dick , serves as the second half of a two - part story started in the video for " Get ' Em Up " .

Music critics were divided on their opinion of " Satellite " , with some praising the ballad form and others labelling the song as " cliché . "

The song only charted in Canada , where it peaked outside the top 40 on the national adult contemporary chart .

Honey Chile

" Honey Chile " is a 1967 single by Motown girl group Martha Reeves and the Vandellas on the Gordy label .

This was the first single to bill Martha Reeves by her full name , as opposed to simply " Martha " and the Vandellas .

Produced by Richard Morris and written by Morris and Sylvia Moy , the tune described how the narrator ( Martha Reeves ) wanting to get rid of her boyfriend who 's been courting and dating other girls behind her back though she is too weak to let him go stating " I 'll walk a country mile to stay with you " .

This song , rare for a pop song , actually shows character development : at the end of the first verse she states that she is worthless without him , while in the second to last line she says she will find the strength to leave him .

Filled with Southern connotations ( inspired by Reeves ' birth in rural Alabama ) , the tune rose to number eleven on the Billboard pop singles chart and number five on the Billboard R&B ; singles chart .

It is notable for several reasons : it is the first track to feature new member , Martha 's younger sister Sandra " Lois " Reeves replacing just - fired Betty Kelley , it was the group 's twelfth top 40 pop single , and it was also the last top 40 hit the group would score throughout the rest of their Motown tenure though they would score several top 40 R&B ; singles before leaving the label in 1973 .

It was also the first single to be credited as Martha Reeves and the Vandellas after the label requested that some of the lead singers of several groups put their name in front of the group 's to earn billing for both lead singer and group .

It premiered on the Fox network on December 15 , 1996 .

It was written by Vince Gilligan , directed by Rob Bowman , and featured guest appearances by Tom Noonan , Rebecca Toolan and Vanessa Morley .

" Paper Hearts " was viewed by 16.59 million people in its initial broadcast , and received positive reviews , with critics praising Noonan 's guest role .

The show centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder ( David Duchovny ) and Dana Scully ( Gillian Anderson ) , who work on cases linked to the paranormal , called X - Files .

Mulder is a believer in the paranormal , and the skeptical Scully has been assigned to debunk his work .

In this episode , Mulder and Scully find that a child killer ( Tom Noonan ) who Mulder had helped to apprehend several years earlier had claimed more victims than he had confessed to ; and in the resulting investigation , learn that the killer is now claiming to have killed Mulder 's sister Samantha .

Gilligan came up with the concept for " Paper Hearts " when thinking about the series ' longest running storyline , the abduction of Samantha Mulder ; he came up with a story questioning whether Samantha had not been abducted by aliens , but was rather murdered by a child killer instead .

" Paper Hearts " was written specifically with Tom Noonan in mind for the role of Roche , and was amongst the first television work the actor had done .


Russian neoclassical revival

Russian neoclassical revival was a trend in Russian culture , mostly pronounced in architecture , that briefly replaced eclecticism and Art Nouveau as the leading architectural style between the Revolution of 1905 and the outbreak of World War I , coexisting with the Silver Age of Russian Poetry .

It is characterized by merger of new technologies ( steel frame and reinforced concrete ) with moderate application of classical order and the legacy of Russian empire style of the first quarter of the 19th century .

Revival school was most active in Saint Petersburg , less in Moscow and other cities .

The style was a common choice for luxury country estates , upper - class apartment and office buildings ; at the same time it was practically non - existent in church and government architecture .

Neoclassical architects born in the 1870s , who reached their peak activity in 1905 - 1914 ( Ivan Fomin , Vladimir Shchuko , Ivan Zholtovsky ) , later became leading figures in stalinist architecture of the 1930s and shaped Soviet architectural education system .

It is ' a very large building , the erection of which was begun in 1755 from plans by Pierre Contant d'Ivry , the architect who later created designs for the Church of La Madeleine in Paris .

The work was interrupted during the Revolution , then resumed by virtue of a municipal decree dated “ Nivôse 27 , Year XII ” , which ran : “ ... to erect the edifice , abandoning everything in the original plans connected with decoration and architectural beauty , limiting the work to the requirements of solidity and decency . ” The church was finished in accordance with these prescriptions , being completed in 1834 .

The interior was of plaster - coated brickwork , whilst the columns were of undressed stone , covered with stone - coloured mortar .

Arras Cathedral was heavily damaged by shelling in April 1917 , during the run - up to the Nivelle offensives of World War I , and subsequently rebuilt in its previous form .

The cathedral is adjacent to the Musée des beaux - arts d'Arras , formerly the Benedictine Abbey of Saint - Vaast .
