Excerpt: Captain James Cook FRS RN (7 November 1728 - 14 February
1779) was a British explorer, navigator and cartographer,
ultimately rising to the rank of Captain in the Royal Navy. Cook
made detailed maps of Newfoundland prior to making three voyages to
the Pacific Ocean during which he achieved the first European
contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian
Islands as well as the first recorded circumnavigation of New
Zealand. Cook joined the British merchant navy as a teenager and
joined the Royal Navy in 1755. He saw action in the Seven Years'
War, and subsequently surveyed and mapped much of the entrance to
the Saint Lawrence River during the siege of Quebec. This helped
bring Cook to the attention of the Admiralty and Royal Society.
This notice came at a crucial moment both in his personal career
and in the direction of British overseas exploration, and led to
his commission in 1766 as commander of HM Bark Endeavour for the
first of th...

(German: , "deployment groups"; singular Einsatzgruppe; official
full name Einsatzgruppen der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD) were
Schutzstaffel (SS) paramilitary death squads of Nazi Germany that
were responsible for mass killings, primarily by shooting, during
World War II. The Einsatzgruppen had a leading role in the
implementation of the Final Solution of the Jewish question (Die
Endlosung der Judenfrage) in territories conquered by Nazi Germany.
Almost all of the people they killed were civilians, beginning with
the Polish intelligentsia and swiftly progressing to Soviet
political commissars, Jews, and Gypsies throughout Eastern Europe.
Under the direction of Reichsfuhrer-SS Heinrich Himmler and the
supervision of SS-Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich, the
Einsatzgruppen operated in territories occupied by the German armed
forces following the invasion of Poland in September 1939 and
Operation Barbarossa (the invasion of the Soviet Union) in June
1941. With the cooperation and logistical assistance of the
Wehrmacht, the Einsatzgruppen carried out operations ranging from
the murder of a few people to Aktions which lasted over two or more
days, such as the massacre at Babi Yar (33,771 killed in two days)
and the Rumbula massacre (25,000 killed in two days). Historian
Raul Hilberg estimates that between 1941 and 1945 the
Einsatzgruppen and related auxiliary troops killed more than two
million people, including 1.3 million Jews. The total number of
Jews murdered during the Holocaust is estimated at 5.5 to six
million people. The Einsatzgruppen were formed under the direction
of SS-Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich and operated by the
Schutzstaffel (SS) before and during World War II. The
Einsatzgruppen had its origins in the ad-hoc Einsatzkommando formed
by Heydrich to secure government buildings and documents following
the Anschluss in Austria in March 1938. Originally part of the
Sicherheitspolizei (Security Police; SiPo), two units of Einsatzgru

(or halawa, xalwo, haleweh, elwa, halvah, halava, helava, helva,
halwa, halua, aluva, chalva, cha wa) refers to many types of dense,
sweet confections, served across the Middle East, South Asia,
Central Asia, West Asia, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the
Balkans, Eastern Europe, Malta and the Jewish world. The term halva
(Arabic: halw ), meaning "sweet," is used to describe two types of
desserts: Halva may also be based on numerous other ingredients,
including sunflower seeds, various nuts, beans, lentils, and
vegetables such as carrots, pumpkins, yams, and squashes. The word
halva entered the English language between 1840 and 1850 from the
Yiddish halva. The latter term came from Bulgarian, which in turn
came from the Turkish helva, a word which itself ultimately derived
from the Arabic al alw, meaning sweet confection. The Arabic root
alw means...

who overthrew the English monarchy and temporarily turned England
into a republican Commonwealth, and ruled England, Scotland and
Ireland. Cromwell was one of the commanders of the New Model Army
which defeated the royalists in the English Civil War. After the
execution of King Charles I in 1649, Cromwell dominated the
short-lived Commonwealth of England, conquered Ireland and
Scotland, and ruled as Lord Protector from 1653 until his death in
1658. Cromwell was born into the ranks of the middle gentry, and

Onoto pens. Excerpt: A fountain pen is a nib pen that, unlike its
predecessor the dip pen, contains an internal reservoir of
water-based liquid ink. From the reservoir, the ink is drawn
through a feed to the nib and then to the paper via a combination
of gravity and capillary action. As a result, the typical fountain
pen requires little or no pressure to write. Filling the reservoir
with ink may be done manually (via the use of an eyedropper or
syringe), or via an internal "filler" mechanism which creates
suction to transfer ink directly through the nib into the
reservoir. Some pens employ removable reservoirs, in the form of
pre-filled ink cartridges. These Parker Duofolds from the 1920s
used the Lucky Curve feed system and self-filled using a "button
filler." They were quite long; nearly 7 inches long when posted.
The earliest historical record of a reservoir pen dates to the 10th
century. In 953, Ma' d al-Mu'izz, the caliph of the Maghreb,
demanded a pen that would not stain his hands or clothes, and was
provided with a pen that held ink in a reservoir and delivered it
to the nib, which could be held upside-down without leaking, as
recorded in Kitab al-Majalis wa 'l-musayardt, by Qadi al-Nu'man
al-Tamimi (d. 974). No details of the construction or mechanism of
operation of this pen are known, and no examples have survived.

or art medium usually constructed of a narrow, solid pigment core
inside a protective casing. The case prevents the core from
breaking, and also from marking the user's hand during use. Pencils
create marks via physical abrasion, leaving behind a trail of solid
core material that adheres to a sheet of paper or other surface.
They are noticeably distinct from pens, which dispense liquid or
gel ink that stain the light color of the paper. Most pencil cores
are made of graphite mixed with a clay binder, leaving grey or
black marks that can be easily erased. Graphite pencils are used
for both writing and drawing, and the result is durable: although
writing can usually be removed with an eraser, it is resistant to
moisture, most chemicals, ultraviolet radiation and natural ageing.
Other types of pencil core are less widely used. Charcoal pencils

readers' poll, and the top five films are screened during the
evening of the ceremony held at the Kameari-za theater in Aoto,
Tokyo until its closing in 1999, and at the Shinbungeiza theater
thereafter. PG magazine was founded by Yoshiyuki Hayashida in July

Pink Grand Prix awards beginning that year, covering films released
in 1988. Including the "New Zoom-up" years, the Pink Grand Prix

Soundgarden is an American rock band formed in Seattle, Washington
in 1984 by singer Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and
bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band's permanent
drummer in 1986 while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent
replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. Soundgarden was one of the
seminal bands in the creation of grunge, a style of alternative
rock that developed in Seattle, and was one of a number of grunge
bands signed to the record label Sub Pop. Soundgarden was the first
grunge band to sign to a major label (A&M Records, in 1988),
though the band did not achieve commercial success until they
popularized "grunge" in the early 1990s with Seattle contemporaries
Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam. Soundgarden achieved its
biggest success with the 1994 album Superunknown, which debuted at
number one on the Billboard charts and yielded the Grammy
Award-winning singles "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman." In 1997, the
band broke up due to internal strife over its creative direction.
On January 1, 2010, Cornell alluded to a Soundgarden reunion. On
April 5, 2010, it was announced that Soundgarden would play
Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 6-8, 2010. A secret reunion
concert under the name "Nudedragons" was held at the Showbox at the
Market in Seattle on April 16, 2010. It was Soundgarden's first
show since 1997. The band is currently working on a new album,
which is slated for release in the spring of 2012. As of 2010,

produced by Michael Mann for NBC. The series starred Don Johnson
and Philip Michael Thomas as two Metro-Dade Police Department
detectives working undercover in Miami. It ran for five seasons on
NBC from 1984-1989. The USA Network later began airing reruns the
next year, in 1990, and actually broadcast an originally unaired
episode during its syndication run of the series on January 25,
1990. Unlike standard police procedurals, the show drew heavily
upon 1980s New Wave culture and music. The show became noted for
its heavy integration of music and visual effects to tell a story.
It is recognized as one of the most influential television series
of all time. People magazine stated that Miami Vice "was the first
show to look really new and different since color TV was invented."
Reruns of the series later aired on the FX from 1996-1999. Then in
2006 the cable network TV Land aired episodes for about a year. The
same year the series began airing on the Sleuth network in United
States until 2008, and now episodes air on the Centric network, MBC
Action in the Arab World, Iris in Italy, NRK3 in Norway, Viasat TV6
in Sweden, Viasat 3+ in Denmark, TV7 ...

use of horses in warfare occurred over 5,000 years ago. The
earliest evidence of horses ridden in warfare dates from Eurasia
between 4000 and 3000 BC. A Sumerian illustration of warfare from
2500 BC depicts some type of equine pulling wagons. By 1600 BC,
improved harness and chariot designs made chariot warfare common
throughout the Ancient Near East, and the earliest written training
manual for war horses was a guide for training chariot horses
written about 1350 BC. As formal cavalry tactics replaced the
chariot, so did new training methods, and by 360 BC, the Greek
cavalry officer Xenophon had written an extensive treatise on
horsemanship. The effectiveness of horses in battle was also
revolutionized by improvements in technology, including the
invention of the saddle, the stirrup, and later, the horse collar.
Many different types and sizes of horse were used in war, depending
on the form of warfare. The type used varied with whether the...
