As with neighboring Baldwin Hills, View Park-Windsor Hills, Ladera Heights is one of the wealthiest areas in the United States. With a six-figure median family income and a very low poverty rate, it stands in stark contrast to most of the historically black areas of South Los Angeles. Much of the area's desirability stems from the stunning views of the Pacific Ocean available from many hillside homes, as well as its proximity to Los Ang ...

In Greek mythology, Prometheus was punished by the gods for revealing fire to humans by being chained to a rock where a vulture (or an eagle, Ethon) would peck out his liver, which would grow again overnight. Curiously, the liver is the only human internal organ that actually can regenerate itself to a certain extent, a characteristic which may have already been known to the Greeks. The Talmud (tractate Berakhot 61b) refers to the liver as the seat of ang ...

The pain associated with very advanced CHD is known as angina, and usually presents as a sensation of pressure in the chest, arm pain, jaw pain, and other forms of discomfort. The word discomfort is preferred over the word pain for describing the sensation of angina, because it varies considerably among individuals in character and intensity and most people do not perceive angina as painful, unless it is severe. There is evidence that ang ...

The Vila, or Willi or Veela, are the Slavic versions of nymphs, who have power over storms, which they delight in sending down on lonely travelers. They are known to live in meadows, ponds, oceans, trees, and clouds (cf. Leimakids, Limnades, Oceanids, Dryads, Nephele). They can appear as swans, horses, wolves, or, of course, beautiful women. In the fictional Harry Potter series, Veela appear as astoundingly beautiful, magically captivating women who transform into hideous bird-like creatures when ang ...

He was born on 5 March 1133 at Le Mans to the Empress Matilda and her second husband, Geoffrey the Fair, Count of Anjou. Brought up in Anjou, he visited England in 1149 to help his mother in her disputed claim to the English throne. Prior to coming to the throne he already controlled Normandy and Anjou on the continent; his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine on 18 May 1152 added her holdings to his, including Touraine, Aquitaine, and Gascony. He thus effectively became more powerful than the king of France — with an empire (the Ang ...

Some interpretors of the story of Khun Borom believe that it describes Tai-speaking peoples arriving in Southeast Asia from China (mythically identified with heaven, from which the Tai chiefs emerge after the flood). The system of dividing and expanding a kingdom in order to provide for the sons of a ruler agrees in general with the apparent organization and succession practices of ancient Tai village groups, called müang. Scholar David K. Wyatt believes that the Khun Borom myth may provide insight into the early history of the Tai p ...

Media studies pioneers include Marshall McLuhan, Stuart Hall, Ien Ang and Jean Baudrillard. Walter Benjamin's 1936 essay "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" marks one of the first major interrogations of the play between technical media and culture. In the UK, media studies emerged in the 1960s from the academic study of English, and from literary criticism more broadly. It tended to grow through colleges and polytechnics, rather than through established universities. Nevertheless, the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS), founded by Richard Hoggart at the University of ...

Griffith's old partner in comedy Don Knotts appeared in a 1988 episode of the series. Titled "The Lemon", Knotts played Ben's new neighbor Les "Ace" Calhoun, who is framed for the murder of the "cowboy" car salesman who talked him into buying a car that later breaks down. In the beginning of the show, he calls Ben "Benge", a reference to their old days in The Andy Griffith Show when Knotts' character Barney Fife sometimes called Andy "Ange".

Eons ago, a Space Hulk filled with Orks on a Waaagh! (a huge Ork invasion), crashed into Angelis, plowing a massive canyon, "Da Skid", and devastating the world's ecosystem. The Orks, who can survive just about any catastrophe, promptly decided that this wasn't the Waaagh! and decided to find a way off-world as quickly as possible. They turned to their Mekboyz (Orks genetically pre-destined to be scientists) for aid. The Meks quickly set the other Orks to work gathering up all of the wreckage from the crash. The Meks began assembling this scrap into a huge machine- just what it was going to do differed dependi ...
