Hogan was born to Italian-American Pete Bollea and Ruth Bollea, who is of French, Italian and Panamanian descent. Early in life, Terry Bollea was a standout in minor league baseball and also spent ten years playing bass guitar in several Florida-based rock bands, including Ruckus and Infinity's End. Many of the wrestlers who competed in the Florida territory at that time would visit the bars in which Bollea was performing. Bollea's impressive physical stature soon caught the attention of former top-drawing wrestler Jack Brisco and his brothe ...

Toward the end of the war, the land conflict regressed into stalemate. Both Iraq and Iran lacked sufficient self-propelled artillery to support their respective armored forces in assaults. This was made even more important because neither side had the air force capability to support ground forces. When the relatively professional Iraqi armed force advance was halted by the sheer size and committment of Iranian infantry and the Iranian infantry moved to advance itself; it faced the terrible prospect that the Iraqis had large numbers of ...

Hank Aaron is an Eagle Scout and recipient of the Silver Buffalo Award, the highest adult award given by the Boy Scouts of America. Despite hitting more career home runs than any other player, Hank Aaron's single-season high was 47. This figure puts him in a tie for the 64th-best season mark by a hitter. His second-best total, 45, is only tied for 100th-best. However, the compensating fact is his career was remarkably stable with no major absences or interruptions such as medical leaves. This enabled him to make his records with a steady accumulation of points that more fla ...

Although they began their career as an interesting New Wave art-school band in the tradition of Roxy Music, the band's quick rise to stardom, their polished good looks, and their embrace of the teen press seemed to have doused their chances of favour from music critics. The British music press was particularly venomous. During the 1980s, Duran Duran were considered the quintessential manufactured, throw-away pop group – not too different from other boy bands created by behind-the-scenes managers (Menudo, New Kids On The Block, *NSYNC).

The Mitla incident hindered Sharon's military career for several years. In the meantime, he occupied the position of an infantry brigade commander and received a law degree from Tel Aviv University. When Yitzhak Rabin (who within a few years became associated with the Labour Party) became Chief of Staff in 1962, however, Sharon began again to rise rapidly in the ranks, occupying the positions of Infantry School Commander and Head of Army Training Branch, eventually achieving the rank of Major General (Aluf). In the 1967 Six-Day War, S ...

Stephen was born in Oxford, England, on January 8, 1942, exactly 300 years after the death of Galileo Galilei. His parents were Frank Hawking, a researcher on tropical medicine, and Isobel Hawking, a Communist sympathizer and friend of Robert Graves and his wife Beryl Graves. Stephen's mother received a star atlas that day, which the friend who gave it to her would later say that, taken along with his birthdate, guaranteed that he would become a scientist and study the cosmos. Of his family, Stephen would be closest to his mother. He had two younger sisters and an adoptive brother. One of his sisters became a doctor and one, P ...

Crass all but retired from the public eye after becoming a particularly irritating thorn in the side of Margaret Thatcher's government following the Falklands War. Questions in Parliament and an attempted prosecution under the UK's Obscene Publications Act led to a round of court battles and what the band describe as harassment that finally took its toll. On July 7th 1984 the band played their final gig at Aberdare in Wales, a benefit for striking miners, before retreating to Dial House to ...

Meteor scatter occurs when a signal bounces off a meteor's ionised trail. When a meteor strikes the Earth's atmosphere, a cylindrical region of free electrons is formed at the height of the E layer. This slender, ionised column is relatively long, and when first formed is sufficiently dense to reflect and scatter television and radio signals, generally from 25 MHz upwards through UHF TV, back to Earth. Consequently an incident television or radio signal is capable of being reflected up to distances approaching that of conventiona ...

Geldof was educated at Blackrock College near Dublin, a school whose staunch Catholic nationalist ethos he disliked. He started as a music journalist in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for the weekly Georgia Straight publication before coming to fame in the mid-1970s as leader of the Boomtown Rats, a rock group closely linked with the punk movement. [1] In 1978, they had their first Number 1 single with "Rat Trap", which was the first New Wave chart-topper in the UK. A follow-up, "I Don't Like Mondays", was equally successful and also co ...

By all accounts, Popper has played a vital role in establishing the philosophy of science as a vigorous, autonomous discipline within analytic philosophy, through his own prolific and influential works, and also through his influence on his own contemporaries and students -- chief among them, Imre Lakatos and Paul Feyerabend, two of the foremost philosophers of science in the next generation of analytic philosophy. (Lakatos's work drastically modifies Popper's position, and Feyerabend's repudiates it entirely, but the work of both is deeply influenced by Popper and engaged wi ...

Shatner had a long dry spell in the decade between the original Star Trek series and the first Trek film, which he believes was due to his being typecast as Captain Kirk, making it difficult to find other work. Moreover, his wife Gloria Rand left him and the Canadian actor, unfamiliar with California divorce laws, was all but wiped out financially. With very little money and acting prospects now, he lived in a truck bed camper in the San Fernando Valley until acting bit-parts turned into higher paying roles. Shatner refers to t ...
