Huracán Ramírez

Huracán Ramírez ( Spanish for " Hurricane Ramirez " ) was the ring name of Mexican luchador enmascarado , or masked professional wrestler Daniel García Arteaga ( April 9 , 1926 – October 31 , 2006 ) .

García was neither the first , nor the last , wrestler to work under the name " Huracán Ramírez " .

He was given the name in the mid-1950s , when the wrestler Eduardo Bonada who originally played Huracan in the 1952 film Huracán Ramírez decided to give up the role in the ring because he no longer wanted to obscure his face with the mask .

Thus Garcia became the 2nd wrestler to wrestle in the ring under the Huracan identity .

During his career , his true identity was a closely guarded secret except to the closest family and friends , more closely guarded that any other luchador of that period .

Following his retirement the " Huracán Ramírez " name and mask has been used by others , primarily because García did not own the rights to the name and the mask .

García , as Huracán Ramírez , was considered one of the most talented luchadors of his time and one of the most iconic luchadors of all time alongside wrestlers such as Santo , Blue Demon and Mil Mascaras .

He invented and popularized a move called the / la Huracánrana , a move that is now commonly used by smaller , high flying professional wrestlers all over the world .

During his career he worked as Huracán Ramírez in at least five of the eight movies in the Huracán Ramírez movie series , starting with the second one in 1962 .

He also played the part of Santo in a biographical movie produced by Santo 's son El Hijo del Santo .


On the Knocking at the Gate in Macbeth

" On the Knocking at the Gate in Macbeth " is an essay in Shakespearean criticism by the English author Thomas De Quincey , first published in the October 1823 edition of The London Magazine .

Though brief , less than 2000 words in length , it has been called " De Quincey 's finest single critical piece " and " one of the most penetrating critical footnotes in our literature " .

Commentators who are dismissive of De Quincey 's literary criticism in general make an exception for his essay on Macbeth .

The essay concerns Act II , scene three in The Tragedy of Macbeth , in which the murder of King Duncan by Macbeth and Lady Macbeth is succeeded by Macduff and Lennox knocking at the gate of the castle .

The knocking ends Act II , scene 2 and opens II , 3 , the Porter scene .

De Quincey wrote that for him , the knocking always had a pronounced effect : " it reflected back upon the murderer a peculiar awfulness and a depth of solemnity ... " De Quincey could not account rationally for this response , according to the then - accepted canons of literary criticism ; and he proceeded , through his essay , to venture a more psychological interpretation than had previously been applied to Shakespeare .

The essay foreshadows the psychological approaches of much later criticism .

De Quincey 's biographer Horace Ainsworth Eaton called the essay " penetrating and philosophic " , adding that De Quincey in this essay " produced conclusions as significant as anything in Coleridge or Hazlitt " .

De Quincey also views his responses to the play in reference to another of his classic essays , " On Murder Considered as one of the Fine Arts " .


Cape Enrage

Cape Enrage is the name given to the southern tip of Barn Marsh Island , an island located in Albert County , New Brunswick , Canada , roughly half way along the coastline between the villages of Riverside - Albert and Alma at the eastern entrance to Fundy National Park .

Accessible from Route 915 , the island itself is surrounded by jagged sea cliffs that are often more than 50 metres ( 145 ft ) high , and is separated from the mainland by a narrow tidal creek .

Cape Enrage derives its name from the large reef that extends south into Chignecto Bay , which causes the water off the point to become extremely violent , particularly at half tide when the reef is partially exposed and the water is moving quickly .


Christian Kramer

Christian Kramer ( died 1834 ) was a composer , arranger , musician and Master of the King 's Musick between 1829 and 1834 .

He served under two British kings ; George IV and William IV .

Kramer was born in Hannover and was a pupil of Romantic composer Peter Winter .

He became a court musician , eventually rising to lead George IV 's personal orchestra ( " band " ) which , according to Dwight 's Journal of Music was " in its time acknowledged to be one of the best in Europe " .

Notably , many of the musicians in his band were sourced from Germany .

John Dwight goes on to note that he could play all of the instruments in his orchestra to a remarkable degree .

A Dictionary of Musical Information of 1876 notes that he was " a composer of great ability " , although none of his compositions have remained in the repertoire .

He was apparently on good terms with the king ; according to one account , like George IV , Kramer suffered from gout and was often inquired of by his master " after a simultaneous attack " .


Solferino

Solferino ( Upper Mantovano : ) is a small town and comune in the province of Mantua , Lombardy , northern Italy , approximately south of Lake Garda .

It is best known as being close to the site of the Battle of Solferino on 24 June 1859 , part of the Second Italian War of Independence .

The battle ended with Italo - French capture of the Rocca , the fortress then in Austrian hands .

The wounded in the battle were witnessed by the Swiss businessman Jean - Henri Dunant , who had traveled to Italy to meet French emperor Napoléon III with the intention of discussing difficulties in conducting business in Algeria , at that time occupied by France .

Horrified by the suffering of wounded soldiers left on the battlefield , Dunant completely abandoned the original intent of his trip and for several days he devoted himself to helping with the treatment and care for the wounded .

He succeeded in organizing an overwhelming level of relief assistance by motivating the local villagers to aid without discrimination .

Back in his home in Geneva , he set about a process that led to the Geneva Conventions and the establishment of the International Committee of the Red Cross by writing a book entitled A Memory of Solferino which he published with his own money in 1862 and thus initiated the process .

From 23 to 28 June 2009 , on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the battle , a series of events gathering thousands of Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement volunteers from all around the world took place in Solferino , under the name of Solferino 2009 Celebrations .


Princess Diana's Revenge

Princess Diana 's Revenge is a novel written by the English writer Michael de Larrabeiti and self - published in 2006 , under the imprint " Tallis House " , which is the name used by de Larrabeiti for publishing his own works .

In the context of de Larrabeiti 's other works , it is perhaps closest in tone to his thrillers The Bunce and The Hollywood Takes , dealing with conspiracy theories and partly featuring the documentary film business in which de Larrabeiti 's earlier novels were set .

Despite de Larrabeiti being an established author of thirty years ' standing , Princess Diana 's Revenge was turned down by his literary agents , Curtis Brown .

The novel was then turned down by over thirty publishers in the United Kingdom .

In response to this de Larrabeiti decided to self - publish under his own imprint , " Tallis House " .

He is one of the first established authors to self - publish , along with the Canadian writer Jim Munroe .

The book tells the story of Joe Rapps , a director and cameraman who slips into the surreal world of Milton Magna , an Oxfordshire village which is based on the real village of Great Milton where de Larrabeiti lived for over thirty years .

Rapps is drawn into various conspiracy theories revolving around the Friends of Diana , a cult which has grown up around the memory of Diana , Princess of Wales , and is determined to avenge her death in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997 .

Although the book is not as explicitly anti - authoritarian as de Larrabeiti 's most famous work , The Borrible Trilogy , its satire of members of the royal family ensure that the book is run - through with the anti - authoritarianism that is present in all of de Larrabeiti 's work .

Sphecomyrminae

Sphecomyrminae is an extinct subfamily of ants in family Formicidae known from a series of Cretaceous fossils found in North America , Europe , and Asia .

Sphecomyrminae contains ten genera , divided into two tribes , Haidomyrmecini and Sphecomyrmini .

The tribe Haidomyrmecini contains the four genera Ceratomyrmex , Haidomyrmex , Haidomyrmodes , Haidoterminus and Linguamyrmex , while Sphecomyrmini contains Baikuris , Cretomyrma , Dlusskyidris , Sphecomyrma , and Zigrasimecia .

The genus Sphecomyrmodes was formerly placed into Sphecomyrmini ; however , in 2016 , it was made a synonym of the stem group genus Gerontoformica , which is considered incertae sedis in Formicidae .

Sphecomyrminae is the most basal of the Formicidae subfamilies , but has not been included in several recent phylogenetic studies of the family .

Symplesiomorphies of the subfamily include the structure of the antenna , which has a short basal segment and a flexible group of segments below the antenna tip .

The petiole is low and rounded , with an unrestricted gaster and the presence of a metapleural gland .

The subfamily is characterized by three major synapomorphies , the short pedicel , a second flagellar segment that is double the length of the other antenna segments , and the loss of the apical end of the CuA veins in the wings of adult males .

Samuel Musgrave

Samuel Musgrave , FRS ( 29 September 1732 – 5 July 1780 ) was an English classical scholar and physician .

Musgrave was born at Washfield in Devon , and was educated at the University of Oxford .

There he was elected to a Radcliffe travelling fellowship , and he spent several years abroad .

In 1766 he settled at Exeter , but moved to Plymouth to improve his career prospects .

Everything went wrong when he published a pamphlet in the form of an address to the people of Devon , accusing certain members of the British government of having been bribed by the French government to conclude the Treaty of Paris ( 1763 ) , and declaring that Chevalier Charles d'Eon de Beaumont , the French minister plenipotentiary to England , had in his possession documents which would prove the truth of his assertion .

Eon de Beaumont denied all knowledge of any such transaction and of Musgrave himself , and the House of Commons in 1770 decided that the charge was unsubstantiated .

The discredited Musgrave was obliged to earn a meagre living in London by writing until his death , in reduced circumstances .

He wrote several medical works , now forgotten ; and his edition of Euripides ( 1778 ) was a considerable advance on that of Joshua Barnes .


Egghead

In the U.S. English slang , egghead is an anti - elitist epithet used to refer to intellectuals or people considered too out - of - touch with ordinary people and too lacking in realism , common sense , sexual interests , etc .

on account of their intellectual interests .

It was part of a widespread anti - elitist social movement that insisted that credentialed intellectuals were not the only smart people , but that serious human intelligence could be found widespread among ordinary people regardless of class , race or gender .

A similar , though not necessarily pejorative , British term is boffin .

The term egghead reached its peak currency during the 1950s , when vice - presidential candidate Richard Nixon used it against Democratic Presidential nominee Adlai Stevenson .

River of Dreams presented a much more serious tone from Joel than found in his previous albums , dealing with issues such as trust and long - lasting love .

It was rumored that the themes of trust and betrayal , particularly certain lyrics from the songs " A Minor Variation " and " The Great Wall of China " , stem from Joel 's legal disputes with his former manager and ex - brother - in - law , Frank Weber , who reportedly embezzled millions of dollars from Joel and used dubious accounting practices to cover it up .

The album cover was a painting by Joel 's then - wife , Christie Brinkley .

In 1993 , Rolling Stone gave the Top Picks award for " The Best Album Cover of the Year " .

The music video for the title track has over 20 million views on YouTube as of April 6 , 2018 .

OSCAR protocol

OSCAR ( Open System for CommunicAtion in Realtime ) is AOL 's flagship instant messaging and presence information protocol .

It was used by AOL 's AIM instant messaging system and ICQ .

Despite its name , the specifications for the protocol remain proprietary .

AOL has gone to great lengths to keep competitors ( namely Microsoft , XMPP , and Cerulean Studios ) from implementing compatible clients for their proprietary messaging systems .

In 2002 , AOL signed a contract with Apple , Inc. , allowing them to use OSCAR ( as well as AOL 's own code libraries ) in their iChat application .

This allowed iChat users to interact with ICQ and AIM users directly .

The deal also permitted users of Apple 's .Mac service to log into the AIM network using their .Mac email addresses .

( This has carried over to Apple 's MobileMe service . )

The OSCAR protocol can be used separately from AOL 's network .

In fact , AOL expands on the general concept of OSCAR , adding systems for service side buddy lists and icons , as well as features for file transfers ( using Bonjour . )

On March 6 , 2006 , AOL released the AIM SDK and launched a developer website , allowing developers to build plugins for AIM Triton , and build their own custom clients , which connect over the OSCAR protocol .

They had not , at that point , however , released any information about the protocol itself .

On March 5 , 2008 , AOL released portions of the OSCAR protocol documentation .

Google also provided the ability to sign into AIM network via the Google Talk client built into Gmail .


Edict of Nantes

The Edict of Nantes ( French : édit de Nantes ) , signed in April 1598 by King Henry IV of France , granted the Calvinist Protestants of France ( also known as Huguenots ) substantial rights in the nation , which was still considered essentially Catholic at the time .

In the edict , Henry aimed primarily to promote civil unity .

The edict separated civil from religious unity , treated some Protestants for the first time as more than mere schismatics and heretics , and opened a path for secularism and tolerance .

In offering general freedom of conscience to individuals , the edict offered many specific concessions to the Protestants , such as amnesty and the reinstatement of their civil rights , including the right to work in any field or for the state and to bring grievances directly to the king .

It marked the end of the religious wars that had afflicted France during the second half of the 16th century .

The Edict of St. Germain , promulgated 36 years before by Catherine de Médici , had granted limited tolerance to Huguenots but was overtaken by events , as it was not formally registered until after the Massacre of Vassy on 1 March 1562 , which triggered the first of the French Wars of Religion .

The later Edict of Fontainebleau , which revoked the Edict of Nantes in October 1685 , was promulgated by Louis XIV , the grandson of Henry IV .

It drove an exodus of Protestants and increased the hostility of Protestant nations bordering France .

A friend and subordinate of Speer , Wolters received the many papers which were smuggled out of Spandau Prison for Speer while he was imprisoned there , and kept them for him until Speer was released in 1966 .

When Speer became Minister of Armaments and War Production in 1942 , Wolters moved to his department , remaining his close associate .

After Speer 's indictment and imprisonment for war crimes , Wolters stood by him .

In addition to receiving and organizing Speer 's clandestine notes from Spandau , which later served as the basis of his best - selling books of memoirs , Wolters quietly raised money for Speer .

These funds were used to support Speer 's family and for other purposes , according to directions which Wolters received from his former superior .

Following Speer 's release in 1966 , their friendship gradually deteriorated , until the two men became so embittered that Wolters allowed papers demonstrating Speer 's knowledge of the persecution of the Jews to become public in 1980 .

Wolters was involved in the reconstruction of West Germany following World War II , rebuilding his hometown of Coesfeld among many other projects .

Wolters wrote several architectural books during the war , as well as a biography of Speer .

It took place around the Berlin Schloss also known as " Stadtschloss " in the centre of Berlin , Germany .

Around 70 people were killed and the event marked the point at which the hitherto largely bloodless revolution turned more violent .

The fighting was the immediate cause for the more radical members to leave the revolutionary government and caused resentment among the workers against the Social Democratic government of Friedrich Ebert .

Ampato

Ampato ( possibly from Quechua hamp'atu or from Aymara jamp'atu , both meaning " frog " ) is a dormant stratovolcano in the Andes of southern Peru .

It lies about northwest of Arequipa and is part of a north - south chain that includes the volcanoes Hualca Hualca and Sabancaya , the last of which has been active in historical time .

Ampato consists of three volcanic cones , which lie on top of an older eroded volcanic edifice .

They were formed sequentially by extrusion of lava flows , but Ampato has also had explosive eruptions which have deposited ash , lapilli and pumice in the surrounding landscape .

One young lava flow has been dated to 17,000 ± 6,000 years before present , but a summit lava dome is even younger , and Holocene ash layers in surrounding peat bogs may testify to the occurrence of recent eruptions .

The present - day volcano is covered by an ice cap , and during the last glacial maximum glaciers advanced to low altitudes .

In 1995 , an Inca mummy known as Mummy Juanita was discovered on Ampato by Johan Reinhard ; it had been offered as a human sacrifice more than six hundred years earlier on the mountain .

Southern Dispersal

In the context of the recent African origin of modern humans , the Southern Dispersal scenario ( also the coastal migration hypothesis ) refers to the early migration along the southern coast of Asia , from the Arabian peninsula via Persia and India to Southeast Asia and Oceania .

Alternative names include the " southern coastal route " or " rapid coastal settlement " .

The coastal route theory is primarily used to describe the initial peopling of the Arabian peninsula , India , Southeast Asia , New Guinea , Australia , Near Oceania , coastal China , and Japan between roughly 70,000 to 60,000 years ago .

It is linked with the presence and dispersal of mtDNA haplogroup M and haplogroup N , as well as the specific distribution patterns of Y - DNA haplogroup C and haplogroup D , in these regions .

The theory proposes that early Homo sapiens , some of the bearers of mitochondrial haplogroup L3 arrived in the Arabian peninsula about 70,000 years ago , crossing from East Africa via the Bab - el - Mandeb straits .

It has been estimated that from a population of 2,000 to 5,000 individuals in Africa , only a small group , possibly as few as 150 to 1,000 people , crossed the Red Sea .

The group would have travelled along the coastal route around Arabia and Persia to India relatively rapidly , within a few thousand years .

From India , they would have spread to Southeast Asia ( " Sundaland " ) and Oceania ( " Sahul " ) .

Devon and Cornwall County Division

The Devon and Cornwall County Division was a County Division of the British Army created during the Second World War .

It was formed on 28 February 1941 , from recently recruited soldiers , in response to the renewed threat of a German invasion .

The 10,000-strong division was a static formation , lacking transport , intended to defend possible landing sites along the southern Cornish and Devon coastlines from invading German troops .

The creation of the division also helped to free up the more experienced troops , who were then held back from the coastline to be able to launch a counterattack against any potential German landings .

During mid-1941 , Germany launched a massive invasion of the Soviet Union , which practically eliminated the threat of an invasion of the United Kingdom .

Consequently , the division never saw service in its intended role .

With the threat of a German invasion lifted , the British Army began a series of reforms intended to restore balance to the then infantry - heavy organisation .

As a result , all nine county divisions were disbanded .

The Devon and Cornwall County Division ceased to exist on 1 December , but was subsequently reformed as the 77th Infantry Division .

Late Latin

Late Latin ( Latin : Latinitas serior ) is the scholarly name for the written Latin of late antiquity .

English dictionary definitions of Late Latin date this period from the 3rd to the 6th centuries AD , and continuing into the 7th century in the Iberian Peninsula .

This somewhat ambiguously defined version of Latin was used between the eras of Classical Latin and Medieval Latin .

There is no scholarly consensus about exactly when Classical Latin should end or Medieval Latin should begin .

However , Late Latin is characterized ( with variations and disputes ) by an identifiable style .

Being a written language , Late Latin is not the same as Vulgar Latin .

The latter served as ancestor of the Romance languages .

Although Late Latin reflects an upsurge of the use of Vulgar Latin vocabulary and constructs , it remains largely classical in its overall features , depending on the author who uses it .

Some Late Latin writings are more literary and classical , but others are more inclined to the vernacular .

Also , Late Latin is not identical to Christian patristic Latin , used in the theological writings of the early Christian fathers .

While Christian writings used a subset of Late Latin , pagans also wrote extensively in Late Latin , especially in the early part of the period .

Late Latin formed when mercenaries from non - Latin - speaking peoples on the borders of the empire were being subsumed and assimilated in large numbers , and the rise of Christianity was introducing a heightened divisiveness in Roman society , creating a greater need for a standard language for communicating between different socioeconomic registers and widely separated regions of the sprawling empire .

A new and more universal speech evolved from the main elements : Classical Latin , Christian Latin , which featured ( ordinary speech ) in which the people were to be addressed , and all the various dialects of Vulgar Latin .

The linguist Antoine Meillet wrote , " Without the exterior appearance of the language being much modified , Latin became in the course of the imperial epoch a new language " , and , " Serving as some sort of lingua franca to a large empire , Latin tended to become simpler , to keep above all what it had of the ordinary " .

Andrea Ferrante ( born 16 August 1968 , Palermo , Italy ) is an Italian composer whose music is performed throughout Europe , Asia and the Americas and published by Videoradio and Rai Trade Labels , Edizioni Carrara and Edizioni Simeoli .

His compositional activity , as shown in the essay Backstage of the creative act , the music psychologist Rosa Alba Gambino , can be divided into two phases : the first ( which ends with the composition of the holy La sposa del vento for soloists , chorus and orchestra staged in Palermo in 2000 by Operalaboratorio ) in which Andrea Ferrante investigates the Mediterranean sounds of his land through the filter of the contemporary , and the second ( after ten years of silence , and in collaboration with his favourite pianist Domenico Piccichè ) in which the mature composer 's own language is inspired by multiculturalism and the concept of emotion / enjoyment of music that cast its production outside Europe .

His compositional activity ranges from classical music to that for the image , even through recent collaborations in pop music with Giovanna Nocetti and Paolo Limiti ( poet and TV presenter ) which , exclusively for his music , wrote the lyrics to " The Man of no " .

He teaches at the Conservatorio di Musica di Stato " Arcangelo Corelli " in Messina .

The Trugberg is a mountain in the Bernese Alps , located south of the Mönch in the canton of Valais , Switzerland .

It is located above the Konkordiaplatz where the névé of the Jungfraufirn on the west side and the Ewigschneefeld on the east side converge to form the Aletsch Glacier .

Debris accumulating on both sides of the mountain form one of the two important supraglacial moraines of the Aletsch Glacier .

During their ascent of the Jungfrau in 1841 , a group of explorers including Pierre Jean Édouard Desor and Louis Agassiz for a while thought that the Trugberg , hiding the Jungfrau from sight , was their destination .

Eventually , they realized their error and decided to name the mountain Trugberg , meaning Deceitful Mountain .

The Trugberg was first climbed 13 July 1871 by Dr. Emil Burckardt from Basel , with the two local guides Peter Egger and Peter Schlegel .

The route they took was by the east flank .
