Manila - Commerce.
Every district in the city with the exception of Port Area has its own public market, locally called the pamilihang bayan. Public markets are often divided into two, the dry goods section and the wet goods section. Commerce in these public markets are in full swing, especially in the early morning. Under the urban renewal program of the incumbent administration, some of the public markets had been refurbished and given a fresher look, like the Sta. Ana public market. It is one of the more advanced markets in the city featuring a modern 2 ...

Manila - Demographics.
The majority of Manila's residents are composed of Filipinos, primarily the Tagalog. Other significant Filipino populations include the Visayans, Bicolanos, Ilocanos, and Maranaos. Non-Filipino ethnicities include the Chinese, one of the longest residents of the city. Also included in this group are Americans, Spaniards, Arabs, Indonesians, Indians, and Koreans. Many Filipinos have intermingled with foreign ethnicities, giving Manila a distinct cosmopolitan charm as the rendezvous betwe ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - History of England - Tudor England The Wars of the Roses culminated in the eventual victory of the relatively unknown Henry Tudor, Henry VII, at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, where the Yorkist Richard III was slain, and the succession of the Lancastrian House was ultimately assured. Whilst in retrospect it is easy for us to date the end of the Wars of the Roses to the Battle of Bosworth Field, Henry VII could afford no such complacency. Before the end of his reign, two pretenders would try to wrest the throne from him, aided by remnants of the Yorkist faction at home ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - History of England - Religious Conflict and the Civil War A number of assassination attempts were made on the Protestant King James I, notably the Main Plot and Bye Plots of 1603, and most famously, on 5th November 1605, the Gunpowder Plot, by a group of Catholic conspirators, led by Guy Fawkes, which was stoked up and served as further fuel for antipathy in England to the Catholic faith.
The First English Civil War broke out in 1642, largely as a result of an ongoing series of conflicts between the then King, Charles I, and Parliament. The defeat of the Royalist army by the New Model Army o ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - History of England - England during the Middle Ages The defeat of King Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 at the hands of William of Normandy, later styled William I of England and the subsequent Norman takeover of Saxon England led to a sea-change in the history of the small, isolated, island state. William ordered the compilation of the Domesday Book, a survey of the entire population and their lands and property for tax purposes.
The English Middle Ages were to be characterised ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - History of England - The Anglo-Saxon Conquest of Celtic Britain In the wake of the Romans, who had abandoned the south of the island by 410 in order to concentrate on more pressing difficulties closer to home, what is now England was progressively settled by successive and often complementary waves of Germanic tribesmen.
These Germanic tribes first came when they were invited by Vortigern, King of the Britons, as mercenaries to help the Britons during their wars against the Irish and the Picts.
The prevailing view is that waves of Germanic people, Jutes together with undoubtedly large numbe ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Du Fu - Translation There have been a number of notable translations of Du Fu’s work into English. The translators have each had to contend with the same problems of bringing out the formal constraints of the original without sounding laboured to the western ear (particularly when translating lǜshi), and of dealing with the allusions contained particularly in the later works (Hawkes writes that "his poems do not as a rule come through very well in translation" — p. ix). One extreme on each issue is represented by Kenneth Rexroth’s One Hundred P ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Du Fu - Works Criticism of Du Fu's works has focused on his strong sense of history, his moral engagement, and his technical excellence.
Du Fu - History.
Since the Song dynasty Du Fu has been called by critics the "poet historian". The most directly historical of his poems are those commenting on military tactics or the successes and failures of the government, or the poems of advice which he wrote to the emperor. Indirectly, he wrote about the effect of the times in which he lived on himself, and on the ordinary people of China. As Watson notes, this is information "of a kind seldom found in the officially compiled h ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - History of England - The Industrial Revolution The late 18th and early 19th centuries saw considerable social upheaval as a largely agrarian society was transformed by technological advances and increasing mechanisation, which was the Industrial Revolution. Much of the agricultural workforce was uprooted from the countryside and moved into large urban centres of production, as the steam-based production factories could undercut the traditional cottage industries, due to economies of scale and the increased output per worker made possible by the new technologies. The consequent overcrowdi ...

Since then England has not existed as an independent political entity, but as a region it has remained highly dominant in the United Kingdom. The majority of the political and econom ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Kharijites - History The high point of the Kharijites' influence was in the years 690 to 730, around, Basra in south Iraq, which was always a center of Islamic (sunni) theology. Kharijite ideology was a popular creed for rebels against the officially Sunni Caliphate, inspiring breakaway states and rebellions (like Maysara's) throughout the Maghreb and sometimes elsewhere.
The Azraqis revolted against the caliphate in 685, after separating from the Ibadis near Basra and departing for Fars. They were suppressed by Abd al-Malik's armies, under the command of ...

Little is known about the origin of shinengō. However, scholars have pointed out that the shinengō Hakuho (白鳳) was used during the period from 673 to 686, when no official nengō was designated. Another shinengō Hoko (法興) is said to have been in use during the reign of Emperor Suiko (推古天皇), by the Prince Shotoku (聖徳太子) ...

To use a 747-400 as an example, the codes follow the format 747-4XX, i.e. 747-422 (United Airlines) or 747-436 (British Airways).
Airbus does not follow this practice, an A340-642 denotes a model 600 (6), Rolls-Royce engines (4) and second version of that series (2).

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Boeing 777 - History In the 1970s, Boeing unveiled new models: the twin-engine 757, to replace the venerable 727; and the twin-engine 767 to challenge the Airbus A300, and a trijet 777 to compete with the DC-10 and the Lockheed TriStar.
Based on a re-winged 767 design, the 275 seat 777 was to be offered in two variants: a 5,000 km (2,700 nm) transcontinental and an 8,000 km (4,320 nm) intercontinental.
The twinjets were a big success, due in part to the 1980s ETOPS regulations. The launch of the 777 was cancelled (much like the trijet concept of th ...
