Learned Hand - Learned Hand Learned Hand (1872 - 1961) was a judge at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. One of his most famous holdings comes from U.S. v. Carroll Towing, 159 F.2d 169 (2d Cir. 1947), concerning civil liability: "[T]he owner's duty, as in other similar situations, to provide against resulting injuries is a function of three variables: (1) The probability that she will break away; (2) the gravity of the resulting injury, if she does; (3) the burden of adequate precautions. Possibly it serves to bring this notion into relief to state it in algebraic . . . terms: if the probability be called P; the injury, L; and the burden, B; liability.
Kaminaljuyu - in the burial of these eight individuals. The bodies seemed to have been placed on some sort of perishable material that is unidentifiable because only traces remain. Excavators suggest the possibility of fabric mats or animal hides. Among the objects found as offerings in the tomb were jade beads around the necks of two of the corpses, wafer-like disc shells forming a choker on one skeleton, jade earplug flares, an unusually large amount of shells, a fine obsidian blade, a tortoise shell, metates, and various fine pottery pieces including a whistling jar and a carved tripod vessel. There was also several coarse brown ware vessels heaped against the wall of the tomb. Many of the artifacts from Las Charcas not associated with burials were found in pits. There were principally two.

Perhaps their most prominent external feature is their ridged forehead. These intricate, bony patterns vary by family line and are an evolutionary remnant of their prehistoric forms, when Klingons had a more extensive exoskeleton and a decidedly crustacean appearance. For a period during the 2260s [during the original Star Trek], Klingons had external features resembling Humans and wore their hair in a more conservative fashion. Most body functions incorporate multiple redundancies, such.
James McIntyre - Scotland and came to Canada in 1841 at the age of 14. He worked as a hired hand to begin with, performing pioneer chores that formed the basis of a number of his works. Later, he settled in St. Catharines, Ontario, where he dealt in furniture. There he married and had a daughter and son. He later moved to Ingersoll, Ontario, then a town of 5,000 on the banks of the Thames in Oxford County, the heart of Canadian dairy country. He opened up a furniture factory on the river and a store selling furniture along with such items as pianos and coffins. He was never wealthy, but was well-loved in the community from which he often received aid in hard times. This was partly due to his poesy and other.
Jessica Lynch - which Lynch was eventually extracted, Mohammed claimed that he observed an Iraqi colonel slapping Lynch. "My heart stopped," said Mohammed, "I knew then I must help her be saved. I decided I must go to tell the Americans." This story has been disputed by doctors working at the hospital, who claim that Lynch was shielded and protected from Iraqi military personnel by hospital staff and was cared for well throughout her stay at the hospital. Futhermore, there is a report [1] that on March 30 Dr Harith attempted to have Lynch delivered to the US forces, an attempt which had to be abandoned when the Americans fired on the ambulance carrying her. The credibility of some of the hospital staff has been questioned, however. Mohammed walked six miles to a United.

John Flaxman - of Arts and began to exhibit in the Royal Academy. In the same year, 1770, he entered as an Academy student and won the silver medal. All these successes were followed by a failure. In the competition for the gold medal of the Academy in 1772, Flaxman was defeated, the prize being adjudged by the president, Sir Joshua Reynolds, to another competitor named Engleheart. tThis reverse proved no discouragement, and indeed seemed to have helped cure Flaxman of a tendency to conceit which made Thomas Wedgwood say of him in 1775: "It is but a few years since he was a most supreme coxcomb." He continued to work diligently, both as a student in the schools and as an exhibitor in the galleries of the Academy, occasionally also attempting diversions into.
Julius Caesar - he was very attached. Contrary to the tradition, Caesar insisted on public funerals for both and delivered eulogy speeches from the rostra. Julia's funeral was filled with political connotations, since Caesar insisted on parading Marius's funeral mask. This was the first attack on the Sullan proscription laws of the former decade. Although Caesar was very fond of both women (according to Suetonius), these speeches were interpreted by his political opponents as propaganda for his upcoming election for the office of quaestor. Caesar's cursus honorum Caesar was elected quaestor by the Assembly of the People in 69 BC, at the age of 30, as stipulated in the Roman cursus honorum. He drew the lots and was assigned with a questorship in Hispania Ulterior (a Roman province roughly situated in modern Portugal and.
Italian unification - insurgent city, so that Palermo was reduced almost to a heap of ruins. At this juncture, by the intervention of an English admiral, an armistice was concluded, which led to the departure of the Neapolitan troops and war vessels and the surrender of the town to Giuseppe Garibaldi, who thus, with a band of 5,000 badly armed followers, had gained a signal advantage over a regular army of 25,000 men. This event had tremendous consequences, for it showed the utter hollowness of the Neapolitan government, while Giuseppe Garibaldi's fame was everywhere spread abroad. The glowing fancy of the Italians beheld in him the national hero before whom every enemy would bite the dust. This idea seemed to extend even to the Neapolitan court itself, where all was doubt, confusion and dismay..
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - Magic to Mr. Borgan, a dark arts salesman. Malfoy explains that the ministry has been conducting more raids on wizard houses in order to uncover illegal artifacts, so he is selling the more problematic artifacts in his possession. He also expresses his disdain for a rumoured Muggle protection act, which he (rightly) assumes Arthur Weasley is behind. Harry leaves the shop to be encountered by a very suspicious witch who clearly wants to take advantage of the fact that he is lost. Fortunately, he is found by Hagrid and then taken back to Diagon Alley to reunite with the Weasleys. In Flourish and Blotts he and the Weasleys encounter the famous wizard/author Gilderoy Lockhart, who announces that he will be taking over as their new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher..

History of Canada - was made in 1608, which would later grow to be Quebec City. The French claimed Canada as their own and settlers arrived, settling along the St. Lawrence and in the Maritimes. Britain also had a presence in the region, however, and with the advent of settlements, claimed the south of Nova Scotia as well as the areas around the Hudson Bay. The first contact with the Europeans was disastrous for the native peoples. Relations varied between the settlers and the Natives. The French quickly befriended the Huron peoples and entered into a mutually beneficial trading relationship with them. The Iroquois, however, became dedicated opponents of the French and warfare between the two was unrelenting, especially as the British armed the Iroquois in an effort to weaken the French. It was not.
History of Rwanda - contrast with the third of Rwanda's ethno-racial groups to arrive, the taller, racially Hamitic Tutsis. Coming from east Africa (likely the horn region of the modern Oromo group), the Tutsis brought with them cattle. The cattle, providing beef and milk for sustenance, as well as dung for agricultural fertilizer, promised enormous benefit to the majority Hutus, but the Tutsis didn't simply hand over this valuable resource, rather; they lent it out in an evolving system whereby a Tutsi patron would provide cattle, and in return a Hutu client would provide his lands, military service, and homage to the patron. The Hutus were thus enfeuded to the Tutsi establishment, the Tutsis becoming masters, while the groups whos previous name remains unknown came to called in its own language "servants" or "Hutu".

History of Australia before 1901 - the first to report Australia's peculiar large hopping animals. James Cook is widely regarded as the most important naval explorer of Australia. He reached New Zealand in October 1769, and mapped its coast. He then sailed across to south-east Australia, and all the way up the east coast. He claimed the east coast, which he named New South Wales, for Great Britain on August 22, 1770. Cook's expedition identified Botany Bay as an appropriate place for settlement. The last great naval explorer was Matthew Flinders, who was responsible for filling in the gaps in the map left by other explorers. In 1796 (after settlement), with George Bass, he took a 2.5 metre long open boat and explored some of the coastline south of Sydney. He suspected from this voyage that Tasmania.
History of sculpture - considered to begin with the reign of Hammurabi, in 1750 BC. Hammurabi was famous for his code of law. A bearded head, made of diorite, is believed to represent Hammurabi. The head has the wide open eyes, typical of the time period. Also well known is the lamassu, a human headed winged lion from 883 - 859 BC. A unique feature of this piece is that it is carved with five legs, so that it can have four legs visible if viewed from the side. The piece was excavated at Nimrud (in northern Mesopotamia), and was donated to the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art by John D. Rockefeller, Jr in 1932. Sculpture in Ancient Egypt One of the earliest examples of Egyptian sculpture is the Palette of King Narmer, from.
History of Ottoman Egypt - the tulbah, a forced payment exacted by the troops from the inhabitants of the country by the fiction of debts requiring to be discharged, which led to grievous ill-usage. In 1609 something like civil war broke out between the army and the pasha, who had on his side some loyal regiments and the Bedouins. The soldiers went so far as to choose a sultan, and to divide provisionally the regions of Cairo between. them. They were defeated by the governor Mahommed Pasha, who on February 5, 1610 entered Cairo in triumph, executed the ringleaders, and banished many others to Yemen. The contemporary historian speaks of this event as a second conquest of Egypt for the Ottomans. A great financial reform was now effected by Mahommed Pasha, who readjusted the burdens imposed.
History of Seattle before 1900 - from issuing writs of habeas corpus for people who were held in jail for little other reason than sympathizing with the natives. One at least two occasions, he actually had Lander himself jailed. Perhaps worst of all in its consequences for relations, he dealt dishonestly in treaties, among other things making oral promises that were not matched by what was written down. The local natives had at least a thirty-year history of dealing with the Hudson Bay Company, who had developed a reputation for driving a hard bargain, but sticking honestly to what they agreed to, and for treating Whites and Indians impartially. This continued through the dealings of the local Bureau of Indian Affairs Superindendent General, Joel Palmer, who (along with Maynard's brother-in-law, Indian Agent Mike Simmons) was among the.
