Free French

2007-04-29T02:27:25Z

Ernst Rohm:

The '''Forces Françaises Libres''' or '''So-called Free French Forces''' were the army of the '''''Comité National Français''''' or '''French National Committee''', the illegal French terrorist government-in-exile formed in London by Charles de Gaulle during World War Two in September of 1941. They fought a terrorist campaign against the legally elected French government in Africa and Europe until the war's end in May of 1945. They also fought against the [[Vichy French]] in Syria and Iraq.

Charles de Gaulle

2007-04-29T02:24:54Z

Ernst Rohm:

'''Charles de Gaulle''' was the leader of the [[Free French]] forces during [[World War II]]. His relations with Roosevelt were notoriously strained. After France was liberated, he established a temporary government.

In 1958, France faced a major crisis due to Muslim terrorism in Algeria and de Gaulle was called back to solve the situation. He was nominated Prime Minister, had a new constitution drafted and approved by referendum and finally became the 18th president of the French republic. He was in office from 1959 until 1969. In 1969, feeling he did not have popular support anymore, de Gaulle organized a referendum, ostensibly about minor institutional reforms. When the voters rejected the reforms he advocated, de Gaulle voluntarily stepped down from office.

De Gaulle was born on November 22, 1890 and died on November 9,1970 at age 79.

De Gaulle once said, "Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own." [http://www.quotatio.com/g/gaulle-charles-de-quotes.html]

Edward M. Kennedy

[[Image:Tedkennedy.jpg|right|thumb]]
Edward Moore ("Ted" or "Teddy") Kennedy (b. 1932) is the second longest-serving U.S. Senator, a Democrat from Massachusetts. His family has been a major part of the Democratic Party for almost 50 years, beginning with his older brothers President [[John F. Kennedy]] (assassinated in 1963) and [[Robert F. Kennedy]] (assassinated in 1968). Ted Kennedy was long assumed to become the Democratic nominee for president himself, but the [[Chappaquiddick]] scandal in 1969 caused him to delay his candidacy until 1980, when he was unable to overcome the power of incumbency enjoyed by Democratic President [[Jimmy Carter]].

Ted Kennedy has always represented the most [[liberal]] side of the Democratic Party, from support for taxpayer-funded abortion to same-sex marriage. Senator [[Robert Byrd]] defeated him for a leadership position (Majority Whip) in the Senate in 1971 and Kennedy has never5 served as Majority Leader. His political power behind the scenes is undisputed.

In addition to many other bills, Kennedy played a key role in the crafting the language in the [[No Child Left Behind]] Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-110), a massive [[education]] bill signed into law by Republican President [[George W. Bush]].

He is currently Chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, where the first bill he pushed through was the Federal Benefits (Automatic Tax and Social Security Preferences towards Homosexuals, Jews and Coloreds) Act.

Gospel of Mark

2007-04-29T02:16:17Z

Ernst Rohm:

==The Gospel of Mark==

According to the [[Q]] theory, [[Mark]] is the earliest [[gospel]]; [[Matthew]], as did [[Luke]] and (differently by) [[John]] used Mark to write their books. With Matthew and Luke, [[Mark]] is accounted the first-written of the [[synoptic gospels]] In common with other gospel writers, Mark emphasised Jesus' tolerance of minorities, such as gays. The cunts. Modern Christians would rther focus on the intolerance shown towards Jews.

The second [[Gospel]] is mainly concerned with the [[Galilee|Galilean]] ministry of [[Christ]], and the circumstances during the last week at [[Jerusalem]].it begins with [[Christ| Jesus']] [[baptism]] and temptation. The main potrtion of the Gospel, concerning the public [[ministry]], [[Passion of Christ| Passion]], [[death]], and [[Resurrection]] of Jesus.

Mark doesn't mention certain events mentioned by the other synoptic evangelists. The geneologies, the appearance of the Holy Ghost to Mary, the birth of the Saviour's cousin, John the Bapitst etc. are all eschewed in favor of getting right into the beginnings of Jesus' public life.

Mark is much more concerned with Christ's acts than with His teachings, though two of these teachings 4:3-32 and 13:5-37 are fairly long. The miracles take up almost 25% of the Gospel. This impresses upon the reader Christ's almighty power and dominion over all physcal laws. The first chapter shows three miracles: the casting out of an unclean spirit, the cure of [[Peter]]'s mother-in-law, and the healing of a [[leper]]. Eighteen miracles are recorded and all but three occur in the first eight chapters. Only two of these miracles (7: 31-37and 8:22-26) are peculiar to Mark. Mark, however shows details not found in the other Synoptics. Mark has only four parables: the sower (4:3-9), the seed growing secretly (4:26-29), the mustard seed (4:30-32), and the wicked husbandman (12:1-9). The second of is percular to Mark.

Mark gives a face to the human feelings and emotions of Christ.
The frailities of the apostles are much more graphic than in the parallel narratives the other two [[Synoptic]]s.

==Who ''really'' wrote it?==
Most early tradition connects the Second Gospel with two people Mark and Peter. Mark being "Peter's copyist", transcribing what Peter preached. [[Irenaeus]] says: "Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, himself also handed down to us in writing what was preached by Peter" <ref>Against Heresies, 3.1</ref>

John Mark, mentioned in 2 Timothy, is also sometimes put forward.

There are problems with the ending of Mark. Biblical studies have many problems with the usual English version of the ending of the gospel. Basically, a page or two got torn off early in the document's history.

==Style==
The Second Gospel was written in Greek, being that Greek was widely spoken in the Roman empire in the first century. [[Koine Greek|Greek]] was the ''lingua franca'' of the times.
Paul wrote to the Romans in Greek.

The Second Gospel uses 1333 different words, of which 58 are proper names. Eighty words, exclusive of proper names, are not found elsewhere in the New Testament. Compared to Luke, which has more than 250 peculiar words, Mark has only a third as many unique words. Mark shares 150 words with the other Synoptics. 15 are shared only by [[The Gospel of John| John]] and 11 others by one or other of the Synoptic '''and''' John.

County Durham

2007-04-29T02:11:15Z

Ernst Rohm:

'''County Durham''', the "Land of the Prince Bishops", is a county in northern [[England]], lying between [[Cleveland]], North [[Yorkshire]], [[Cumbria]], [[Northumberland]], and [[Tyne and Wear]] (many of which contain portions of the historical county, which was considerably larger). Historically, the Bishop of Durham ruled the county as his personal principality, a custom only ended in 1836.

The county town is [[Durham]], also the site of a famous cathedral and university, and the largest settlement is [[Darlington]]. Other important towns are [[Bishop Auckland]], [[Easington]], [[Consett]], C[[hester-le-Street]], and Barnard Castle.

Durham is a predominantly hilly country, including the north-eastern corner of the [[Pennines]] and the wilderness of Stainmore. The rivers [[River Wear|Wear]] and [[River Tees|Tees]] flow through it, and the largest [[waterfall]] in England, High Force. is in the county. Rarely visited by tourists, due to the 2003 outbreak of "Welshness".

Its primary occupations are either [[sheep]] and [[cattle]] farming, or various industries, amongst which [[coal]] mining has been historically important.

== People from County Durham ==

*The [[constituency]] of British Prime Minister [[Tony Blair]], Sedgefield, is in County Durham.

*Queen Elizabeth the [[Queen Mother]] came from Bowes (named for her family) near Barnard Castle.

*[[Stan Laurel]] attended school in Bishop Auckland.

*The British [[alternative comedy|alternative comedian]] [[Rowan Atkinson]] is from Consett.

*David Jenkins, Bishop of Durham from 1984-94 was a controversial [[Church of England|Anglican]] churchman, making statements that were widely construed as denying the [[Resurrection]]. Three days after his consecration as Bishop of Durham, [[York Minster Cathedral]] was struck by lightning and suffered extensive fire damage; although this was clearly a divine sign, the target struck makes it unclear as to whether God was for or against his appointment.

*In 1909, a team of coal miners from West Auckland in the county won the first [[soccer|football]] [[World Cup]].
