Nebuchadrezzar was the oldest son and successor of Nabopolassar, who delivered Babylon from its dependence on Assyria and laid Nineveh in ruins. According to Berossus, he married the daughter of Cyaxares, and thus the Median and Babylonian dynasties were united.

The remaining Assyrian provinces were divided between Babylonia and Media. Na ...

It is thought that the site of St. Helier was settled at the time of the Roman control of Gaul. The medieval hagiographies of Helier, the patron saint martyred in Jersey and after whom the parish and town are named, suggest a picture of a small fishing village on the dunes between the marshy land behind and the high-water mark. Although the parish church is now some considerable distance from the sea, at the time of its original construction it was on the edge of the dunes at the closest practical point to the offshore islet ca ...

A major objective of China National and the STMA has been modernization. As recently as the 1980's China's independent tobacco factories used painfully outdated equipment; to the extent that some processes were even carried out by hand.

Due to a combination of increasing demand for telephone services (particularly due to widescale adoption of fax and cell phone communications), and the practice of allocating phone numbers in large blocks to companies for issuing, many area codes began to exhaust their supply of available numbers (code "in jeopardy" in telecom jargon), and additional area codes were needed. In general, area codes were added either as "splits" (in which an area code was divided into two or more regions, one retaining the older area code and the other areas re ...

The lyrics imply that 867-5309 was the real phone number of a girl named Jenny, acquired from a mens room wall. The song caused a fad of people dialing 867-5309 (then a valid phone number in dozens of area codes) and asking for Jenny. Throughout the song, the singer just keeps thinking about this mysterious Jenny and how happy she makes him. It is more or less implied that the mens' room graffitti featuring her name and number mentioned that she was an "easy lay," and that ...
