Marshall's final appearances for West Indies came in One-Day International cricket - the 1992 World Cup - but there was to be no last hurrah: in his five matches in the tournament he took just two wickets, both in the penultimate game against South Africa at Christchurch. This was the only time Marshall played for West Indies against South Africa in his career, though played provincial cricket for Natal in both 1992/93 and 1993/94. Whilst playing at Natal his eperience was invaluable and his guidance was an influential spark in the early car ...

Education in the People's Republic of China - Primary Schools. The development of primary education, in so vast a country as the PRC, was a formidable accomplishment. In contrast to the 20- percent enrollment rate before 1949, in 1985 about 96 percent of primary-school-age children were enrolled in approximately 832,300 primary schools (see table 10, Appendix A). This enrollment figure compared favorably with the record figures of the late 1960s and early 1970s, when enrollment standards were more egalitarian. In ...

Upon the privatisation of British Rail in 1996, the Class 90 fleet was divided between several operators. British Rail Class 90 - EWS. Britain's biggest Railfreight operator British Rail Class 90 - Freightliner. British Rail Class 90 - One Anglia. In early 2004 One needed a replacement for the ageing Class 86 locomotives on the Norwich-London route. At the same time Virgin Trains was starting to get rid of its class 90 locomotiv ...

There is little direct evidence of a Caledonian archaeological culture but it is possible to describe the settlements in their territory during their existence. The hillforts that stretched from the North York Moors to the Scottish highlands are evidence of a distinctive character emerging in northern Great Britain from the Middle Iron Age onwards. They were much smaller than the hillforts further south, often less than a hectare in area and there is no evidence that they were extensively occupied or defended by the Caledonians who appear to generally have had a dispersed settlement pattern. Suggestions of widespread ...

Schumer was born to a Jewish family in Brooklyn. He attended public schools in Brooklyn, scoring a 1600 on the SAT, and graduating as the valedictorian from James Madison High School in 1967. He continued his education at Harvard College, where he became interested in politics and campaigned for Eugene McCarthy in 1968. After graduating he went to Harvard Law School. He graduated from there in 1974. Schumer passed the New York State Bar Exam in early 1975, but never practiced law. Instead he would enter elective politics. In the decades since, he has never lost an election, and has ...

Currently, four locomotives have been preserved. The first locomotive to be preserved was no. 86401 'Hertfordshire Rail Tours'. This locomotive was operated by EWS until 2002, when it was one of the final three EWS machines to be withdrawn from traffic. Prior to that, it was the only locomotive to be painted in Network South East livery, and was named 'Northampton Town'. In this guise it was used on London-Cambridge and London-Northampton passenger trains. In 2004, no. 86401 was preserved by the AC Locomotive Group, which also o ...

Under the earlier BR classification, the type was given the designation AL6 (meaning the 6th design of AC Locomotive), and locomotives were numbered E3101-E3200. In 1968, this was changed to Class 86, when BR introduced a new computer numbering system. In the early years the locomotives became notorious for track damage (the class was fitted with axle-hung traction motors, in place of the bogie-frame-mounted motors of the earlier designs, and this additional unsprung mass at high speeds was literally hammering the track). As a result ...

As early as 1689, African slaves fled from the British American colonies to Spanish Florida seeking freedom. Under an edict from Philip V of Spain, the black fugitives received liberty in exchange for defending the Spanish settlers at St. Augustine. The Spanish organized the black volunteers into a militia; their settlement at Fort Mose, founded in 1738, was the first legally sanctioned free black town in North America.See also:

By the early 19th century, maroons (free blacks and runaway slaves) and Seminole Indians were in regular contact in Florida, where they evolved a system of relations unique among North American Indians and blacks. In exchange for paying an annual tribute of livestock and crops, maroons found sanctuary among the Indians. Indians, in turn, acquired an important strategic ally in a sparsely populated region. Typically, many or all members of the Seminole maroon communities were identified as slaves of individual Indian chiefs. Seminole s ...

The Black Seminole culture that took shape after 1800 was a dynamic mixture of African, Indian, Spanish, and slave traditions. In the tradition of the Indians, maroons wore Seminole clothing, strained koonti, a native root, and made sofkee, a paste created by mashing corn with a mortar and pestle. Living apart from the Indians, however, the maroons developed their own unique African American culture. Black Seminoles inclined toward a syncretic form of Christianity inherited from the plantations. Certain cultural practices, such as jum ...

From the time of the founding of the United States, the existence of armed black communities in Florida was a major concern for American slave owners. Slaveholders sought return of Florida's black fugitives in the Treaty of New York (1790), the first treaty ratified after the adoption of the United States Constitution.[6] General Andrew Jackson targeted Florida's maroon communities in 1816 by orchestrating an attack on the Negro F ...

Soon after graduating from Harvard Law, he ran for and was elected to the New York State Assembly, becoming at age 23 the youngest member of the New York legislature since Theodore Roosevelt.

He was reelected eight times from the Brooklyn and Queens-based district, which changed numbers three times in his tenure (it was numbered the 16th from 1981-83, the 10th from 1983-93 and the 9th from 1993). In 1998, he won the Democratic Senate primary against Mark Green and Geraldine Ferraro. He then defeated three-term incumbent Republican Al D'Amato, who had defeated Holtzman in 1980. In 2004, Schumer handily won re-election against Republican Assemblyman Howard Mills of Middletown and Conservative Marilyn O'Grady. Schumer outpoll ...

The characters of Dad's Army and their catchphrases are well known in the UK due to the popularity of the series when originally shown and the frequency of repeats. The popularity and impact of the series is however mainly down to the lovable and well crafted characters. Sergeant Wilson for example is a masterly exercise in understatement and Captain Mainwaring a clever portrayal of lower middle class pomposity. Each of the main charac ...

Many TV episodes were remade for BBC Radio 4 with the original cast, although other actors played Walker after James Beck's death. These radio versions were adapted by Harold Snoad and Michael Knowles and also starred John Snagge as a newsreader who would set the scene for each episode. The pilot episode was actually based on the revised version of events seen in the opening of the film version rather than the TV pilot. T ...

There have been several stories regarding the origins of The Arabs term. The most popular view is that the name was coined during the severe winter of the 1962/63 season. It was so bad that between December and March, Dundee United were able to play only three times. One of these was a Scottish Cup tie against Albion Rovers F.C., for which the management, in a desperate attempt to get Tannadice playable, hired an industrial tar burner to melt the several inches of covering snow and ice.

During the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), higher education in particular suffered tremendous losses; the system was shut down, and a rising generation of college and graduate students, academicians and technicians, professionals and teachers, was lost. The result was a lack of trained talent to meet the needs of society, an irrationally structured higher education system unequal to the needs of the economic and technological boom, and an uneven development in secondary technical and vocational education. In the post-Mao period, PRC's educa ...

In 1975 Dad's Army transferred to the stage as a revue, with songs, familiar scenes from the show, and individual "turns" for cast members. Most of the principal cast transferred with it, with the exception of John Laurie (he was replaced by Hamish Roughead). Dad's Army: A Nostalgic Music and Laughter Show of Britain's Finest Hour opened at Billingham in Cleveland on September 4, 1975 for a two-week tryout.
