Auszug: Der Lancia Delta ist ein seit 2008 in dritter Generation gebauter Kompaktklasse-PKW des italienischen Automobilherstellers Lancia. Er knüpft an den Kompaktklasse-PKW der Marke an. Dieser wurde von 1979 bis 1994 in der ersten Generation gebaut (Interne Bezeichnung: Lancia 831ABO). Von 1993 bis 1999 wurde eine zweite, als Delta Nuova bezeichnete (Intern:Lancia 836) Generation gebaut. Der Lancia Delta ist international durch seine beispiellosen Erfolge im Rallyesport in den späten 1980ern und frühen 1990er Jahren bekannt geworden, in welchen er die Rallye-Weltmeisterschaft dominierte. Der auf der IAA 1979 in Frankfurt debütierende Lancia Delta wurde in relativ kurzer Zeit bei Lancia zur Abrundung des Sortiments nach unten entwickelt. Ab Herbst 1979 stand der Wagen bei den Händlern. Die Entwicklung des Fahrzeuges begann im Jahre 1974. Die Grundlage des Autos bildete der Fiat Ritmo, von welchem Bodengruppe und Motoren entlehnt wurden. Die Einzelradaufhängung des Delta wurde allerdings mit den beim Beta und Gamma gewonnenen Erkenntnissen abweichend vom Ritmo konstruiert. Die Camuffo-Hinterachse war in typischer Lancia-Manier konstruiert und wurde in vielen weiteren Konzernmodellen verbaut. Der Radstand des Delta wurde gegenüber dem Ritmo verlängert. Die Karosserie des Delta war jedoch in vielen Details wesentlich aufwändiger gestaltet, was für Lancia typisch war und dem Qualitätsanspruch der Marke im Konzern entsprach. So bestanden etwa die Stoßfänger vorne und hinten aus glasfaserverstärktem Polyester gegenüber den einfachen Plastikteilen beim Ritmo. Die Serienausstattung des Delta war mit Heckscheibenwischer, von innen einstellbaren Außenspiegeln, dreistufigen Scheibenwischern und einem verstellbarem Lenkrad für seine Zeit sehr umfangreich. Für das äußere Design war Giorgetto Giugiaro verantwortlich. Es beruhte auf Giugiaros Styling-Studie Medici II, die die Linien sehr unterschiedlicher Serienmodelle der 1970er und 1980er Jahre vorwegnahm. Die in die Karosserie integri.

Excerpt: Genesis are an English rock band that formed in 1967. The band currently comprises the longest-tenured members Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks. Past members Peter Gabriel, Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett also played major roles in the band in its early years. Genesis are among the top 30 highest-selling recording artists of all time with approximately 150 million albums sold worldwide. In the late 1960s, with the release of their first album, Genesis's music could be described as pop rock or psychedelic pop. They then (beginning with their second album) quickly evolved into a progressive rock band with the incorporation of complex song structures and elaborate instrumentation. Their concerts became theatrical experiences with innovative stage design, pyrotechnics, extravagant costumes and on-stage stories. This second phase was characterised by lengthy performances such as the 23 minute 'Supper's Ready' and the 1974 concept album, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. In the late 70s and early 80s the band's musical direction changed once again, becoming more pop oriented and commercially accessible. This resulted in their first top 40 single in the US with 'Follow You Follow Me', their first number one album in the United Kingdom, Duke, and their only number one single in the United States, 'Invisible Touch'. Genesis has undergone several personnel changes throughout its history. Stage fright forced founding member Anthony Phillips to leave the band in 1970. In 1975, Collins, then the band's drummer, replaced Peter Gabriel as lead singer after a lengthy search for a replacement. To facilitate Collins's move to lead vocals during concerts, Bill Bruford and Chester Thompson played drums for the band as they toured, with Collins joining in briefly during lengthy instrumental passages. In 1977, guitarist Steve Hackett left the band. After Phil Collins left the band in 1996, Genesis recruited Ray Wilson (formerly of Stiltskin).

Excerpt: Alec Su (born on September 11, 1973 in Taipei, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese pop star and versatile actor in films and television dramas. He became famous as a member of the Taiwanese Idol Band The Little Tigers, formed in 1988, and later for his first Chinese TV series Princess Returning Pearl (series 1 and 2). Alec Su's career started in 1988, at the age of 15, when he joined the Little Tigers trio. The band was the first idol singing group that debuted in the Taiwanese music industry and Alec was labelled as the 'obedient tiger.' The group's popularity was unprecedented; the Little Tigers attracted fans from Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, and amongst Chinese communities around the world. The success of the band began the new generation of Taiwanese pop culture in the early 1990s. In 2010, the Little Tigers were invited to participate in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, in which they sang a medley of three of their biggest hits and won accolades as the 'favorite singing group' for the event. Apart from being a popular singer, during this period Su was epitomized by the general public as a superior student. He attended Taiwan's number one high school, Taipei Municipal Jian Zhong High School and was accepted into the prestigious National Taiwan University, where he majored in Mechanical Engineering . Su's experiences describing his high school years, preparing for the Taiwan university entrance examinations while trying to also juggle his performing schedule as a member of a wildly popular singing group, are recorded in his 1995 book entitled My Days at Jian Zhong / Youth Never Die. However, as Su became so well known at such a young age, he felt that he had lost his freedom as a result of being in the limelight. At the age of 21, a year before his university graduation in Taiwan, Su decided to leave school and study abroad in England. In 1995, after the break up of Little Tigers, Su embarked on an acting career.

Excerpt: Valentino Clemente Ludovico Garavani (born 11 May 1932), best known as Valentino, is an Italian fashion designer and founder of the Valentino SpA brand and company. His main lines were Valentino, Valentino Garavani, Valentino Roma, and R.E.D. Valentino. Valentino became interested in fashion while in primary school in his native Voghera, Lombardy, northern Italy, when he apprenticed under his aunt Rosa and local designer Ernestina Salvadeo, an aunt of noted artist Aldo Giorgini. Valentino then moved to Paris to pursue this interest with the help of his mother Teresa de Biaggi and his father Mauro Garavani. There he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and at the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. His first choice for an apprenticeship, in Paris, was Jacques Fath, then Balenciaga. He found an apprenticeship with Jean Desses where he used to help style icon countess Jacqueline de Ribes sketch her dress ideas. He then joined Guy Laroche for 2 years. At Jean Desses, Valentino sketched furiously, between helping with window dressing and greeting clients for the daily 2:30 pm private showings. Most of his early sketches were lost. At a Rome exhibition in 1991 a smattering went on display and current clients at that time such as Marie-Hélène de Rothschild and Elizabeth Taylor marveled that the DNA of Valentino's style was already apparent in the layers of white pleats and animal prints. A wedding dress by ValentinoAfter five years, Valentino left Jean Desses under a cloud over an incident about prolonging a vacation in Saint-Tropez that still makes him wriggle uncomfortably today. Rescued by his friend Guy Laroche, he joined his 'tiny, tiny' fashion house. After discussions with his parents, he decided to return to Italy and set up in Rome in 1959. In 1959 Valentino 'left Paris and moved back to Italy and opened a fashion house in Rome on the posh Via Condotti with the backing of his father and an associate of his.

Excerpt: The Scramble for Africa, also known as the Race for Africa or Partition of Africa was a process of invasion, occupation, colonization and annexation of African territory by European powers during the New Imperialism period, between 1881 and World War I in 1914. As a result of the heightened tension between European states in the last quarter of the 19th century, the partitioning of Africa may be seen as a way for the Europeans to eliminate the threat of a Europe-wide war over Africa. The last 59 years of the nineteenth century saw transition from ¿informal imperialism¿ of control through military influence and economic dominance to that of direct rule. Attempts to mediate imperial competition, such as the Berlin Conference (1884¿1885), failed to establish definitively the competing powers' claims. Many African polities, states and rulers (such as the Ashanti, the Abyssinians, the Moroccans and the Dervishes) sought to resist this wave of European aggression. However, the industrial revolution had provided the European armies with advanced weapons such as machine guns, which African armies found difficult to resist (with the exception of the Abyssinians, who were indeed successful). Also, unlike their European counterparts, African rulers, states and people did not at first form a continental united front although within a few years, a Pan-African movement did emerge. David Livingstone, early explorer of the interior of Africa.The Portuguese had been the first Europeans to firmly establish settlements, trade posts, permanent fortifications and ports of call along the oceanic coasts of the African continent, from the beginning of the Age of Discovery, in the 15th century. European exploration of the African interior began in earnest at the end of the 18th century. By 1835, Europeans had mapped most of northwestern Africa. In the middle decades of the 19th century, the most famous of the European explorers were David Livingstone and H. M.

Excerpt: Musical improvisation (also known as Musical Extemporization) is the creative activity of immediate ('in the moment') musical composition, which combines performance with communication of emotions and instrumental technique as well as spontaneous response to other musicians. Thus, musical ideas in improvisation are spontaneous, but may be based on chord changes in classical music. Because improvisation is a performative act and depends on instrumental technique, improvisation is a skill. There are musicians who have never improvised and other musicians who have devoted their entire lives to improvisation. Throughout the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods, improvisation was a highly valued skill. Francesco Landini, Adrian Willaert, Diego Ortiz, Frescobaldi, J.S. Bach, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, and many other famous composers and musicians were known especially for their improvisational skills. Improvisation might have played an important role in the monophonic period. The earliest treatises on polyphony, such as the Musica enchiriadis (ninth century), make plain that added parts were improvised for centuries before the first notated examples. However, it was only in the fifteenth century that theorists began making a hard distinction between improvised and written music. Many classical forms contained sections for improvisation, such as the cadenza in concertos, or the preludes to some keyboard suites by Bach and Handel, which consist of elaborations of a progression of chords, which performers are to use as the basis for their improvisation. Handel, Scarlatti, and Bach all belonged to a tradition of solo keyboard improvisation that was not limited to variations, but included the concerto form, typically with moving voices in both hands, occasionally exploring fugue. Although melodic improvisation was an important factor in European music from the earliest times, the first detailed information on improvisation technique apBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 54 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Globalization refers to the increasing unification of the world's economic order through reduction of such barriers to international trade as tariffs, export fees, and import quotas. The goal is to increase material wealth, goods, and services through an international division of labor by efficiencies catalyzed by international relations, specialization and competition. It describes the process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through communication, transportation, and trade. The term is most closely associated with the term economic globalization: the integration of national economies into the international economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, the spread of technology, and military presence. However, globalization is usually recognized as being driven by a combination of economic, technological, sociocultural, political, and biological factors. The term can also refer to the transnational circulation of ideas, languages, or popular culture through acculturation. An aspect of the world which has gone through the process can be said to be globalized. Against this view, an alternative approach stresses how globalization has actually decreased inter-cultural contacts while increasing the possibility of international and intra-national conflict. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word 'globalization' was first employed in a publication entitled Towards New Education in 1930, to denote a holistic view of human experience in education. An early description of globalization was penned by the founder of the Bible Student movement Charles Taze Russell who coined the term 'corporate giants' in 1897, although it was not until the 1960s that the term began to be widely used by economists and other social scientists. The term has since then achieved widespread use in the mainstream press by the later half of the 1980s. Since its inception, the concept of globalization has inspired numeBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 78 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Native Americans in the United States are the indigenous peoples in North America within the boundaries of the present-day continental United States, parts of Alaska, and the island state of Hawaii. They are composed of numerous, distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive as intact political communities. The terms used to refer to Native Americans are controversial; according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the respondents with an expressed preference refer to themselves as American Indians or Indians. In the last 500 years, Afro-Eurasian migration to the Americas has led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans was made by Europeans after their immigration to the Americas. Many Native Americans lived as hunter-gatherer societies, although in many groups, women carried out sophisticated cultivation of a variety of staples: maize, beans and squash. Their cultures were quite different from those of the agrarian, proto-industrial immigrants from western Eurasia. The differences in culture between the established native Americans and immigrant Europeans, as well as shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, caused a great deal of political tension and ethnic violence. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the U.S. vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million.

Excerpt: Punk rock is a rock music genre that developed between 1974 and 1976 in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Rooted in garage rock and other forms of what is now known as protopunk music, punk rock bands eschewed perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock. Punk bands created fast, hard-edged music, typically with short songs, stripped-down instrumentation, and often political, anti-establishment lyrics. Punk embraces a DIY ethic; many bands self-produced recordings and distributed them through informal channels. By late 1976, bands such as the Ramones, in New York City, and the Sex Pistols and The Clash, in London, were recognized as the vanguard of a new musical movement. The following year saw punk rock spreading around the world, and it became a major cultural phenomenon in the United Kingdom. For the most part, punk took root in local scenes that tended to reject association with the mainstream. An associated punk subculture emerged, expressing youthful rebellion and characterized by distinctive styles of clothing and adornment and a variety of anti-authoritarian ideologies. By the beginning of the 1980s, faster, more aggressive styles such as hardcore and Oi! had become the predominant mode of punk rock. Musicians identifying with or inspired by punk also pursued a broad range of other variations, giving rise to post-punk and the alternative rock movement. By the turn of the century, pop punk had been adopted by the mainstream, as bands such as Green Day and The Offspring brought the genre widespread popularity. The Ramones' 1976 debut album laid down the musical 'blueprint for punk', while its cover image had a similarly formative influence on punk visual style.The first wave of punk rock aimed to be aggressively modern, distancing itself from the bombast and sentimentality of early 1970s rock. According to Ramones drummer Tommy Ramone, 'In its initial form, a lot of stuff was innovative and exciting.

Excerpt: Traditional Chinese medicine (¿¿, pinyin: zhong yi) (TCM), is a label that covers a broad range of traditional medicine practices spread throughout Asia, including various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage therapy, and dietary therapy. The common thread among these diverse practices is a system for balancing the various functions of the body, based in Daoist principles of yinyang and other metaphysical belief systems, that originated during the Warring States Period in regions that are now part of China. These practices are a common part of medical care throughout East Asia, accounting for roughly 75% of worldwide use, but are considered alternative medicine in the western world. TCM practices use different physiological and disease models than modern medicine, and make a number of assumptions that are inconsistent with or untestable under the principles of scientific methods, which complicates research on the efficacy of TCM medicinals and practices. In general, TCM practices take a holistic approach, viewing the body in terms of organ system based loosely around particular body functions (such as digestion or excretion) rather than in terms of isolated organs. These organ systems are conceived to be interrelated in various systematic ways, and various techniques are used to stimulate or support weakened systems or to soothe or dampen over-excited systems. TCM involves an often subjective diagnosis of the general state of various organ systems followed by ongoing efforts to reestablish a healthy balance between the systems. There is no scientific evidence for these theories of medicine. A broad range of 'over-the-counter' medicinals loosely related to TCM are available.

Excerpt: Connection Timeout Williams Grand Prix Engineering Limited, trading as AT&T Williams, is a Formula One motor racing team and constructor. It was founded and run by Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head. The team was formed in 1977 after Frank Williams' two earlier and, compared with Williams F1's achievements, unsuccessful F1 operations: Frank Williams Racing Cars (1969 to 1975) and Walter Wolf Racing (1976). All of Williams F1 chassis are called 'FW' then a number, the FW being the initials of team owner, Frank Williams. Williams' first race was the 1977 Spanish Grand Prix, where the new team ran a March chassis for Patrick Nève. Williams started manufacturing its own cars the following year, and Switzerland's Clay Regazzoni won Williams' first race at the 1979 British Grand Prix. At the 1997 British Grand Prix, Canadian Jacques Villeneuve won the team's 100th race, making Williams one of only three teams in Formula One, alongside Ferrari and fellow British team McLaren, to win 100 races. Williams won nine Constructor's titles between 1980 and 1997. This stood as a record until Ferrari surpassed it in 2000. Many famous racing drivers have driven for Williams, including Australia's Alan Jones; Finland's Keke Rosberg; Britain's Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill and Jenson Button; France's Alain Prost; Brazil's Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna, and Canada's Jacques Villeneuve, each of whom, with the exception of Senna and Button, have captured one Drivers' title with the team. After Senna died in a Williams car in a crash at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, Frank Williams, Patrick Head and designer Adrian Newey were all accused of manslaughter. The trial finally closed in 2005, when Williams, Head and Newey were cleared of any wrongdoing. Williams have worked with many notable engine manufacturers, most successfully with Renault: Williams won five of their nine constructors' titles with the French company. Along with Ferrari, McLaren, and Renault (formerly Benetton), Williams is oBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 118 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Different Moon landing conspiracy theories claim that some or all elements of the Apollo program and the associated Moon landings were hoaxes staged by NASA and members of other organizations. Various groups and individuals have made such conspiracy claims since the end of the Apollo program in 1975. The most notable claim is that the six manned landings (1969¿1972) were faked and that the Apollo astronauts did not walk on the Moon. The conspiracy theorists (henceforth conspiracists) argue that NASA and others knowingly misled the public into believing the landings happened by manufacturing, destroying, or tampering with evidence; including photos, telemetry tapes, transmissions, rock samples, and even some key witnesses. There is much third-party evidence for Apollo Moon landings and detailed rebuttals to the hoax claims. Polls taken in various locations have shown that between 6% and 28% of the people surveyed believed that the manned landings were faked.

Auszug: Bei den Kipshagener Teichen handelt es sich um ein in Privatbesitz befindliches Naturschutzgebiet bei Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock (Nordrhein-Westfalen). Es hat eine Fläche von etwa 11,25 ha. Die Kipshagener Teiche liegen in der Senne zwischen Stukenbrock und Schloß Holte, etwa 600 m westsüdwestlich des Hofes Kipshagen. Es wird zum Teil von Kiefernforsten und Äckern umgeben. Unmittelbar an der Südgrenze liegen Tennis- und Fußballplätze. Die Westgrenze des Geländes wird durch eine Hochspannungsleitung markiert. Wann genau die Teiche in der einstigen Moor- und Heidelandschaft angelegt wurden, konnte bisher nicht ermittelt werden. Eine Staukonzession stammt von 1842; doch dürften die Gewässer schon lange vorher bestanden haben. Wie die Preußische Uraufnahme von 1837 zeigt, war im Bereich des Naturschutzgebietes ursprünglich sogar ein dritter Teich vorhanden. Er lag unterhalb des westlichen Teiches und war etwa genauso groß dieser. Der heutige Erlenbruch war demnach deutlich kleiner. Die westliche Grenze dieses Teiches lag ungefähr dort, wo heute die Hochspannungsleitung verläuft. Die naturwissenschaftliche Bedeutung der Kipshagener Teiche ist schon seit langem bekannt. Daher gab es schon frühzeitig Bestrebungen, das Gebiet für die Nachwelt zu erhalten. 1925 wurde es durch einen Pachtvertrag zwischen dem früheren Eigentümer, dem Gutsbesitzer Kipshagen und dem Naturwissenschaftlichen Verein Bielefeld gesichert. Ein Ankauf des Gebietes durch den Verein kam jedoch nicht zustande. Schon 1932 musste das Gelände zahlreiche Eingriffe über sich ergehen lassen. So wurde ein größerer Heidemoorkomplex am oberen Teich mit Sand überdeckt und der Teichboden mit Kalk gedüngt und ausgeräumt. Ein floristisch besonders wertvolle Moorsenke im Südwesten des heutigen NSG wurde völlig vernichtet. 1937 wurde das Gebiet schließlich erstmals unter Naturschutz gestellt. Damit gehört es neben dem Langenbergteich, dem Ramselbruch und dem Furlbachtal zu den ältesten Schutzgebieten in der Senne. Trotz dBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Deutsch.

Auszug: Trinitrotoluol (TNT), nach IUPAC-Nomenklatur 2-Methyl-1,3,5-trinitrobenzol ist ein Sprengstoff. Hergestellt wurde TNT erstmals von Julius Wilbrand im Jahre 1863, die Großproduktion wurde in Deutschland 1891 aufgenommen. Die Sprengkraft von TNT wird als Maßstab für die Explosionsstärke von Sprengkörpern verwendet (siehe TNT-Äquivalent). TNT wurde zum ersten Mal 1863 von Julius Wilbrand (1839¿1906) synthetisiert. Mit der Weiterentwicklung der Synthese durch P. Hepp 1880 und der Entdeckung von TNT als geeignetem Explosivstoff durch Karl Häussermann 1889 kam es in Deutschland ab 1901 zur großtechnischen Produktion. Besonders durch den Bedarf des Militärs an TNT als Füllung von Granaten (ab 1902 zuerst in Deutschland) entstanden rasch zahlreiche Fabriken. Der Ausgangsstoff für die Herstellung von Trinitrotoluol, Toluol, konnte damals aber nur in begrenzter Menge hergestellt werden, da man auf die Gewinnung aus Steinkohlenteer angewiesen war, einem Gemisch aus Tausenden von Einzelsubstanzen, welches bei der Koksgewinnung anfällt. Aus heutiger Sicht ist diese Methode allerdings nicht mehr wirtschaftlich, da der Anteil des Toluols im Steinkohlenteer relativ gering ist. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde TNT wiederum verstärkt produziert. Sogenannte ¿Schlaffabriken¿ wurden schon vor Kriegsanfang errichtet, zumeist mit zweifacher Ausführung der Anlagen, damit bei Zerstörungen und Beschädigungen weiter Sprengstoff hergestellt werden konnte. Die produzierten Mengen hatten drastisch zugenommen. So belief sich die Menge des im Deutschen Reich produzierten TNT auf 18.000 Tonnen pro Monat, während des Krieges wurden insgesamt ca. 800.000 Tonnen hergestellt. Diese Steigerung war möglich, weil das notwendige Edukt nun auch aus Erdöl gewonnen werden konnte. In einem zweistufigen Prozess, dem ¿Deutschen Verfahren¿, wurde das Toluol zunächst einfach nitriert. Das entstandene Mononitrotoluol (MNT) reinigte man von unerwünschten Nebenprodukten und nitrierte erneut, wodurch über Dinitrotoluol (DNBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Deutsch.

Excerpt: Liar's dice, or Liar dice, with roots originating in South America and popularized in early Spanish History, was brought to Spain by the Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro during the 16th century. Liar's Dice is known for being a game in pirate history, and a name for a class of dice games for two or more players. They are easy to learn, require little equipment, and can be played as gambling or drinking games. Playing them well requires the ability to deceive and detect an opponent's deception. Versions of the game are known as (U.S.A. manufactured), Diception, Dudo or Cachito in South America. The equivalent drinking game is sometimes called Mexicali or Mexican in the United States; the latter term may be a corruption of Mäxchen ('Little Max'), the name by which a similar game, called Mia, is known in Germany, while Liar's dice is known in Germany as Bluff. There are at least three different versions of Liar's Dice; it's uncertain which version is the original. In all of them, dice are rolled in a concealed fashion and bids made about the result of the roll. Players must then either raise the bid or challenge the previous bid in turn. For the purposes of this article, the three versions discussed are referred to as 'individual hand', 'common hand', and 'Mexican'. In 'common hand', each player has a set of dice, all players roll one and the bids relate to the dice each player can see (their hand) plus all the concealed dice (the other players' hands). In 'individual hand', there is one set of dice which is passed from player to player. The bids relate to the dice as they are in front of the bidder after selected dice have been re-rolled. This is the version that is used in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and the video game Red Dead Redemption. Five six-sided dice with traditional dot faces are generally used per player, with dice cups used for concealment. Poker dice can also be used, but some systems for bidding become difficult or impossibleBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Bouin). Cette comptine a été reprise et popularisée par douze variations de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, à qui on donne souvent le titre, à tort, de compositeur original. Les paroles de la comptine sont une parodie d'un poème d'amour anonyme, La Confidence : La chanson a servi de base mélodique et harmonique à de nombreuses variations enfantines et populaires. Par exemple, en variations rythmiques temps par temps, À la pêche aux moules et Le Palais-Royal est un beau quartier sont issus directement de la comptine : Il existe également Quand trois poules vont aux champs, La vigne aux moineaux qui reprennent la même mélodie.

Écrite pour piano, cette pièce est composée de 13 parties : Mozart aurait choisi cette comptine pour plaisanter de son père, qui l'avait éduqué avec beaucoup de séverité. Les compositeurs suivants ont aussi utilisé cette chanson dans leurs compositions La comptine de tradition populaire française Quand trois poules vont au champ se chante aussi sur l'air de Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman: Une version anglaise existe : Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star (« Brille, brille, petite étoile »). C'est une des comptines anglaises les plus populaires. Elle a été adaptée avec un poème de Jane Taylor (The Star). Cette poésie a été publiée en 1806 dans une collection de poème Rhymes for the Nursery. La comptine Baa, Baa, Black Sheep en est également dérivée. Dans Les Aventures d'Alice au pays des merveilles, Lewis Carroll fait chanter par le Chapelier fou une comptine reprenant la même mélodie : Une version vietnamienne existe : (« Chantons ensemble »).

Extrait: Tarzan est un personnage de fiction créé par Edgar Rice Burroughs en 1912 dans le roman Tarzan of the Apes, publié pour la première fois en France chez Fayard en 1926 sous le titre Tarzan chez les singes (puis chez les éditions Néo). La bande dessinée et le cinéma consacreront le mythe, bien qu'en particulier pour le cinéma ce soit au prix d'une trahison du personnage d'origine. Il sera suivi de 25 autres ouvrages. Tarzan est le fils d'aristocrates anglais qui ont été débarqués dans la jungle africaine suite à une mutinerie. À la mort de ses parents, Tarzan est recueilli par une tribu de grand singes que Burroughs appelle les orangs, une espèce inconnue de la science mais qui partage des caractéristiques communes avec les gorilles, les chimpanzés et les premiers hominidés, en particulier une forme primitive de langage. En orang, Tarzan signifie peau blanche, mais son véritable nom est John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke. Ayant dû survivre dans la jungle depuis sa plus tendre enfance, Tarzan montre des capacités physiques supérieures à celles des athlètes du monde civilisé. Il est aussi doté d'un intellect supérieur et il apprend l'anglais seul en utilisant les livres d'images qu'avaient emportés ses parents. Contrairement à la plupart de ses incarnations cinématographiques, le Tarzan des romans parle un anglais parfait. Tarzan rencontre des humains pour la première fois alors qu'il est adulte.

Excerpt: Bruce Lee (born Lee Jun-fan; 27 November 1940 ¿ 20 July 1973) was a Chinese American and Hong Kong actor, martial arts instructor, philosopher, film director, film producer, screenwriter, and founder of the Jeet Kune Do martial arts movement. He is widely considered by many commentators, critics, media and other martial artists to be the most influential martial artist of modern times, and a cultural icon. Lee was born in San Francisco to parents of Hong Kong heritage but was raised in Hong Kong until his late teens. Lee emigrated to the United States at the age of 18 to claim his U.S. citizenship and receive his higher education. It was during this time that he began teaching martial arts, which soon led to film and television roles. His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim, and sparked a major surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West in the 1970s. The direction and tone of his films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in Hong Kong and the rest of the world, as well. He is noted for his roles in five feature-length films: Lo Wei's The Big Boss (1971) and Fist of Fury (1972); Way of the Dragon (1972), directed and written by Lee; Warner Brothers' Enter the Dragon (1973), directed by Robert Clouse; and The Game of Death (1978), directed by Robert Clouse. Lee became an iconic figure known throughout the world, particularly among the Chinese, as he portrayed Chinese nationalism in his films. He initially trained in Wing Chun, but he later rejected well-defined martial art styles, favouring instead to utilise useful techniques from various sources in the spirit of his personal martial arts philosophy, which he dubbed Jeet Kune Do (The Way of the Intercepting Fist). Lee was born on 27 November 1940 at the Chinese Hospital in Chinatown, San Francisco. His father, Lee Hoi-chuen, was Chinese, and his mother Grace Ho (¿¿¿), a Catholic, was of GeBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Dan Dare is a British science fiction comic hero, created by illustrator Frank Hampson. He appeared in the Eagle comic story Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future in 1950, dramatised 7 times a week on Radio Luxembourg. The stories were set in the late 1990s but the dialogue and manner of the characters is reminiscent of British war films of the 1950s. Dan Dare has been described as 'Biggles in Space' and as the British equivalent of Buck Rogers. Dan Dare was distinguished by its long, complex storylines, snappy dialogue and meticulously illustrated comic-strip artwork by Hampson and other artists, including Harold Johns, Don Harley, Bruce Cornwell, Greta Tomlinson, Frank Bellamy and Keith Watson. The most recent story is a Dan Dare mini-series published by Virgin Comics. It is written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Gary Erskine and is a completely new and somewhat darker intrepretation of Dan Dare. Dan Dare appeared on the cover of the first issue of the weekly comic strip magazine, Eagle, on 14 April 1950. There were two large colour pages of his story per issue. The artwork was of a high quality, the product of artists in a studio called the Old Bakehouse in Churchtown, Southport, Lancashire. The Eagle's founder, the Rev Marcus Morris, was vicar of the Southport church of St James at the time. It had scale models of spaceships, and models in costume as reference for the artists. Occasionally, Eagle incorporated 'centrefolds' of the fictional spaceships, such as Dan's ship the Anastasia, reminiscent of cutaway drawings of aircraft in aviation magazines or even Eagle itself. The storylines were long and complex, sometimes lasting more than a year. Later, artwork was produced at a studio in Hampson's house in Epsom, Surrey, where his production line techniques were continued. Attention was paid to scientific plausibility, the science fiction luminary Arthur C. Clarke acting as science and plot adviser to the first strip. The stories were set mostly on planets of the solarBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Auszug: Luciferine sind unterschiedliche Naturstoffe, die in verschiedenen biolumineszenten Organismen zur Erzeugung von Licht genutzt werden. In Gegenwart des entsprechenden Luciferase-Enzyms reagieren sie mit Sauerstoff (Oxidation). Bei der Veränderung, meistens der Abspaltung von Teilgruppen an dem Luciferin, wird Energie in Form von Licht abgegeben. Sowohl die Luciferine als auch die Luciferasen sind art- oder taxonspezifisch, also für jede Lebewesengruppe kennzeichnend. Die ersten Arbeiten auf Luciferin-Luciferase-Systeme gehen auf den Franzosen Raphael Dubois zurück. Er entdeckte bei Arbeiten an Leuchtkäfern 1885, dass eine Substanz in einer lichtgebenden Reaktion verbraucht wird. Er bezeichnete diese als Luciferin, das auch durch Hitze nicht zerstört wird. Die andere, hitzelabile Komponente hat der Wissenschaftler als Luciferase bezeichnet. Heutzutage wird Luciferase allgemein als das Enzym bezeichnet, welches das dazugehörende Luciferin umsetzt. Die nächsten Untersuchungen wurden von Amerikaner Newton Harvey Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts durchgeführt. Er fand heraus, dass es in jedem Luciferin-Luciferase-System eine Spezifität gibt. So können Luciferine der einen Spezies nicht durch die Luciferase einer artfremden Spezies umgesetzt werden. Schließlich benötigt jedes biolumineszente System Sauerstoff. Dies wurde aber bereits im 18. Jahrhundert von Robert Boyle beobachtet. Biolumineszente Systeme sind nicht evolutionär konserviert, die Luciferasen teilen keine Sequenzhomologie. Luciferasen treten aber in 17 unterschiedlichen Stämmen und mindestens 700 Gattungen ¿ meist marinen ¿ auf. Offenbar wurden sie öfters ¿erfunden¿, phylogenetische Studien wiesen darauf hin, dass Luciferin-Luciferase-Systeme mehr als 30 unabhängige Ursprünge besitzen. Laut klassischer Definition ist das an der Luciferase gebundene Luciferin der Lichtemitter.

Auszug: Philipp Freiherr von Boeselager (\* 6. September 1917 auf Burg Heimerzheim; ¿ 1. Mai 2008 auf Burg Kreuzberg in Kreuzberg bei Altenahr) war ein deutscher Forstverbandsfunktionär und früherer Berufsoffizier der Wehrmacht. Er war der letzte Überlebende des innersten Kreises der militärischen Widerstandsgruppe um Generalmajor Henning von Tresckow und Oberst Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, die am 20. Juli 1944 ein Attentat auf Adolf Hitler verübte. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg war er entscheidend an der Entwicklung der deutschen Forstwirtschaft beteiligt, so von 1968 bis 1988 als Vorsitzender der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Waldbesitzerverbände (AGDW). Philipp Freiherr von Boeselager wurde 1917 als viertes von acht Kindern des Freiherrn Albert von Boeselager (1883¿1956) und seiner Gattin Freiin Maria-Theresia von Salis-Soglio (1890¿1968) auf dem Stammsitz seiner Familie, der Wasserburg Heimerzheim, geboren. Zu seinen Verwandten zählte der Diplomat und Gegner des Nationalsozialismus, Wilhelm Freiherr von Ketteler, sowie sein Großonkel Clemens August Graf von Galen. Sein Elternhaus war geprägt vom rheinischen Katholizismus. Schon als kleiner Junge war er aufgrund seiner katholischen Erziehung antipreußisch eingestellt und skeptisch gegenüber den Nationalsozialisten. Früh missfiel ihm, dass aus den Schulen die Kreuze entfernt wurden. Im Jahre 1936 legte Boeselager sein Abitur im Aloisiuskolleg des Jesuitenordens in Bad Godesberg ab. Zunächst wollte er Rechtswissenschaft studieren, um in den Auswärtigen Dienst gehen zu können. Sein Großvater riet ihm wegen der Nazis ab und empfahl ihm stattdessen, in die Armee einzutreten. 1936 trat Boeselager in das Reiter-Regiment 15 in Paderborn ein. Als seinen ihn durchs Leben begleitenden und von Kindheit auf prägenden Wahlspruch nannte er das lateinische Sprichwort Etiam si omnes, ego non (frei übersetzt: Auch wenn alle mitmachen, ich nicht).

Auszug: Konzentrationslager Sachsenhausen (auch: KZ Sachsenhausen) war der Name eines ab 1936 eingerichteten nationalsozialistischen deutschen Konzentrationslagers im Oranienburger Ortsteil Sachsenhausen nördlich von Berlin. Durch die Nähe zu Berlin und damit auch zur Gestapozentrale in der Prinz-Albrecht-Straße hatte dieses Lager eine Sonderrolle im KZ-System. Ein großes SS-Kontingent war hier stationiert. Das Lager diente als Ausbildungsort für KZ-Kommandanten und das Bewachungspersonal im ganzen NS-Bereich (ähnlich wie das KZ Dachau). Insgesamt wurden ca. 200.000 Häftlinge nach Sachsenhausen deportiert, nur etwa 140.000 davon wurden registriert. Im August 1941 wurde eine Massenerschießungsanlage errichtet, in der dann etwa 13.000 bis 18.000 sowjetische Kriegsgefangene ermordet wurden. Insgesamt sollen mehrere zehntausend Häftlinge ermordet worden sein. Es ist weder örtlich noch zeitlich identisch mit dem KZ Oranienburg, das bereits 1933/34 mitten in Oranienburg errichtet worden war.

In diesem Musterlager erfolgte die Ausbildung von SS-Wachmannschaften, die später in anderen Konzentrationslagern eingesetzt wurden. In etwa 100 Außenlagern leisteten die Häftlinge Zwangsarbeit, vor allem in der Rüstungsindustrie. Im Sommer 1945 diente das Revier des ehemaligen KZ Sachsenhausen als Übergangs-Lazarett für ehemalige Häftlinge und andere Opfer des Krieges, die auf Grund ihres Gesundheitszustandes nicht in die Heimat zurückkehren konnten.

Auszug: Esch ist ein Stadtteil von Bad Münstereifel im Kreis Euskirchen, Nordrhein-Westfalen. Der Ort Esch liegt im Nordosten der Eifel, etwa 10 km südöstlich von Bad Münstereifel an der Landstraße 165, die den westlichen Ortsrand schneidet und das Dorf vom Ortsteil Escher Heide trennt. In unmittelbarer Nähe gegen Nordwesten verläuft die Wasserscheide zwischen Ahr und Erft. Auf dem gleichen Höhenzug erstreckt sich auch eine Abzweigung der alten Römerstraße von Trier nach Köln, die von hier über Rheinbach nach Bonn führt. An ihrem Schnittpunkt mit der L 165 liegt der Ortsteil Wasserscheide. Unweit der Wasserscheide entspringen zwei Bachläufe, nördlich der Escher Bach (Trinkpützsiefen) und südlich der Lammersbach (Oberbach), welche die Escher Höhe beidseitig umfließen, um sich weiter östlich beim Glückstal mit dem von Hummerzheim kommenden Brobach zum Buchholzbach zu vereinigen, der bei Schuld in die Ahr mündet. Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung Eschs ist nicht bekannt. Der etymologische Ursprung des Namens (siehe Eschflur) lässt möglicherweise auf eine Melioration durch Brandrodung oder Plaggenwirtschaft schließen. Unter den vierzehn Orten der Kirchengemeinde Mutscheid wurde Esch daher als einer der letzten besiedelt. Im Zuge der Are-Hochstadenschen Schenkung fiel das Gebiet der Mutscheid 1246 an Kurköln, wo es bis 1794 zusammen mit Rupperath einen Dingstuhl (Gerichtsbezirk) im kurkölnischen Amt Hardt bildete.

Mit 506.926 (2002) Einwohnern ist sie zugleich die größte Stadt des Landes. Die Stadt liegt am Fluss Vardar und am Vodno-Gebirge. Laut der Volkszählung 2002 betrachteten sich knapp 67 % der Einwohner der Gemeinde Skopje als Mazedonier; die größte ethnische Minderheit waren demnach mit 23 % Albaner. Etwa 5 % betrachteten sich als Roma, die vor allem im Stadtbezirk ¿uto Orizari leben. Als Serben sahen sich etwa 3 %, jeweils weniger als 2 % betrachteten sich als Türken und etwa 1,5 % sahen sich als Bosniaken. Die Stadtbezirke Der Römische Kaiser Domitian (81¿96) siedelte zu Beginn seiner Herrschaft Veteranen der Legionen I Italica, III Augusta, IV Macedonica, V Macedonica, V Alaudae, IIII Flavia und VII Claudia in der neugegründeten Stadt Scupi (Skopje) an. Reste dieser Stadt lassen sich heute noch besichtigen. Im Jahre 518 wurde die Stadt durch ein Erdbeben zerstört, jedoch im Auftrag des oströmischen Kaisers Justinian I. wieder aufgebaut. Im Winter 594/95 wurde sie durch slawische Stämme zerstört. Im 9. Jahrhundert wurde die Region Skopje Teil des bulgarischen Reiches. Nach der Christianisierung Bulgariens wurde sie Bischofssitz. Während der Herrschaft von Zar Roman war die Stadt ab 980 für kurze Zeit bulgarische Hauptstadt und Sitz des bulgarischen Patriarchen. Nach dem Ende des Ersten Bulgarischen Reiches im Jahre 1018 wurde Skopje zum Zentrum des neugeschaffenen byzantinischen Themas Bulgaria. Im 12. Jahrhundert wurde sie dem Zweiten Bulgarenreich angegliedert. Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts war Skopje Zentrum des Herrschaftsbereichs des Boljaren und späteren bulgarischen Zaren Konstantin Tich Asen (1257¿1277). Die Stadt wurde wahrscheinlich 1282 vom Nemanjidenkönig Milutin erobert. Am 16. April 1346 ließ sich König Stefan Uro¿ IV.

Excerpt: Frantz Fanon (July 20, 1925 ¿ December 6, 1961) was a Martiniquo-Algerian psychiatrist, philosopher, revolutionary and writer whose work is influential in the fields of post-colonial studies, critical theory and Marxism. Fanon is known as a radical existential humanist thinker on the issue of decolonization and the psychopathology of colonization. Fanon supported the Algerian struggle for independence and became a member of the Algerian National Liberation Front. His life and works have incited and inspired anti-colonial liberation movements for more than four decades. Frantz Fanon was born on the Caribbean island of Martinique, which was then a French colony and is now a French département. His father was a descendant of African slaves; his mother was said to be an illegitimate child of African, Indian and European descent, whose white ancestors came from Strasbourg in Alsace. Fanon's family was socio-economically middle-class and they could afford the fees for the Lycée Schoelcher, then the most prestigious high school in Martinique, where the writer Aimé Césaire was one of his teachers. After France fell to the Nazis in 1940, Vichy French naval troops were blockaded on Martinique. Forced to remain on the island, French soldiers became 'authentic racists.' Many accusations of harassment and sexual misconduct arose. The abuse of the Martiniquan people by the French Army influenced Fanon, reinforcing his feelings of alienation and his disgust with colonial racism. At the age of eighteen, Fanon fled the island as a 'dissident' (the coined word for French West Indians joining Gaullist forces) and travelled to British-controlled Dominica to join the Free French Forces. He enlisted in the French army and joined an Allied convoy that arrived in Casablanca. He was later transferred to an army base at Bejaia on the Kabyle coast of Algeria. Fanon left Algeria from Oran and saw service in France, notably in the battles of Alsace. In 1944 he was wounded at Colmar and receivedBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Harold Clayton Lloyd, Sr. (April 20, 1893 ¿ March 8, 1971) was an American film actor and producer, most famous for his silent comedies. Harold Lloyd ranks alongside Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton as one of the most popular and influential film comedians of the silent film era. Lloyd made nearly 200 comedy films, both silent and 'talkies', between 1914 and 1947. He is best known for his 'Glasses Character', a resourceful, success-seeking go-getter who was perfectly in tune with 1920s era America. His films frequently contained 'thrill sequences' of extended chase scenes and daredevil physical feats, for which he is best remembered today. Lloyd hanging from the hands of a clock high above the street in Safety Last! (1923) is one of the most enduring images in all of cinema. Lloyd did many of these dangerous stunts himself, despite having injured himself in August, 1919 while doing publicity pictures for the Roach studio. An accident with a bomb mistaken as a prop resulted in the loss of the thumb and index finger of his right hand (the injury was disguised on future films with the use of a special prosthetic glove, though the glove often did not go by unnoticed). Although Lloyd's individual films were not as commercially successful as Charlie Chaplin's on average, he was far more prolific (releasing twelve feature films in the 1920s while Chaplin released just three), and made more money overall ($15.7 million to Chaplin's $10.5 million). Lloyd was born in Burchard, Nebraska to James Darsie Lloyd and Elizabeth Fraser; his paternal great-grandparents were from Wales. When he was a child, his parents divorced and Harold chose to stay with his father who was always dreaming up grand get-rich-quick schemes that ended in disasters. They eventually ended up in Omaha where Harold had his first acting experience in a local stock company. Harold attended East High School (Denver) and San Diego High School and received his stage training at the School of Dramatic Art (San DBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.
