Angel Island Sonic - Sonic 3.
Angel Island Zone is the name of the first zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, where Knuckles is introduced. The environment of the stage is that of the tropical beach resort similar to Green Hill Zone (of Sonic 1) and Emerald Hill Zone (of Sonic 2) with the exception that halfway through, the zone gets firebombed by Eggman and ends up in flames. However, the entire game of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (as well as its immediate follow-up, Sonic & Knuckles) was set on what is now known as the Angel I ...

| | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Ancient Greek literature - Hellenistic Age By 338 BC all of the Greek city-states except Sparta had been conquered by Philip II of Macedon. Philip's son Alexander the Great extended his father's conquests greatly. In so doing he inaugurated what is called the Hellenistic Ages. Alexander's conquests were in the East, and Greek culture shifted first in that direction. Athens lost its preeminent status as the leader of Greek culture, and it was replaced temporarily by Alexandria, Egypt. After the rise of Rome, all the Mediterranean area was brought within one far-flung empire. Greek civ ...

| | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Bleed Like Me single - Music Video The video was filmed in Los Angeles on April 12, with Sophie Muller again directing. The video was much more sedate and somber than the one for "Why Do You Love Me", with Shirley working as a nurse in a mental institution.
It references Hitchcock's classic 60's horror movies 'The Birds' and Psycho'. If you look closely at the medical cabinet that Shirley raids, the files shown are 'Manson, Shirley', and behind it 'Muller, Sophie' the video director.
A short news report from the set was shown on ...

| | | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Chicken - Chickens in religion In India, the Rooster is an insignia of Karthikeya, son of Lord Shiva, the God of Destruction. Karthikeya is known by his popular names of Murugan and Subrahmanya in the southern part of the country.

| | | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Claude Debussy - Debussy in film and pop culture Debussy's music has been used countless times in film and television.
Clair de lune is especially popular. The piece was used in The Right Stuff, Philip Kaufman's film about a NASA space program. Recently it featured in the movie Man on Fire and in the final minutes of Ocean's Eleven, accompanying the fountains in front of the Bellagio hotel and casino. The British horror movie Dog Soldiers used Clair de lune for comical effect; in the film the light of the moon ('clair de lune' in French) is ...

| | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Chicken - Issues with mass production Many animal advocates object to killing chickens for food or object to the factory farm conditions under which they are raised. Commercial chicken production often involves raising the birds in large crowded rearing sheds that prevent the chickens from engaging in many of their natural behaviours. In 2004 8.9 billion chickens were slaughtered in the United States[1].
Another animal welfare issue is the use of genetic selection to create heavy large-breasted birds, which can lead to crippling leg disorders and heart failure for some of ...

| | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Chicken - Courting When a rooster finds food he may call the other chickens to eat it first. He does this by clucking in a high pitch as well as picking up and dropping the food. This is part of chicken courting ritual. When a hen is used to coming to his "call" the rooster may mount the hen and fertilize her egg.

| | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Bleed Like Me single - Bleed Like Me quote unquote Shirley Manson: "Well "Bleed Like Me" I think we’re very proud of that song. It came together really great."
Butch Vig: "Musically it’s very simple, it’s basically this little hypnotic riff on the acoustic guitar and it builds a little bit, but the song never gets too big musically. It stays pretty simple. Really it’s all about her vocals. She said ‘I want to sound like a girls choir’ and we’re like ‘Cool, let’s just do it now’. She went in singing ‘You should see my scars’ and it just floored me. Still when I hear that the hairs on the ba ...

| | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Socrates - His character The character of Socrates provides an illustration of an historical conundrum. If Socrates ever wrote a single word, it has not survived. As such, the entirety of modern knowledge concerning Socrates must be drawn from a limited number of secondary sources, such as the works of Plato, Aristotle, Aristophanes and Xenophon. Aristophanes was known as a satirist, and so his accounts of Socrates may well be skewed, exaggerated, or totally falsified. Fragmentary evidence also exists from Socrates' contemporaries. Giannantoni, in his monumental wor ...

| | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Chicken - Cockfighting Male chickens are known as cocks (in most countries), cockerels (if younger than one year) or roosters (primarily in the US and Canada). Their natural inclination to fight has been exploited in staged fights, sometimes with a metal spike added to or replacing the natural spurs. Most countries have banned cockfighting, but it is still legal in two U.S. states, New Mexico and Louisiana, and is common in Southeast Asia.
Cockfighting was popular in ancient Greece. According to tradition, it was introduced in Athens by Themistokles as a pu ...

| | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Chicken - Chickens in agriculture In the United States, chickens were once raised primarily on the family farm. Prior to about 1930, chicken was served for primarily on special occasions or on Sunday as the birds were typically more valued for their eggs than meat. Excess roosters or non-productive hens would be culled from the flock first for butchering. As cities developed and markets sprung up across the nation, live chickens from local farms could often be seen for sale in crates outside the market, ...

| | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Chicken - Chickens as pets In Asia, chickens with striking plumage have long been kept for ornamental purposes, including feather-footed varieties such as the Cochin and Silkie from China and the extremely long-tailed (Phoenix) from Japan. Asian ornamental varieties were imported into the United States and Great Britain in the late 1800s. Poultry fanciers then began keeping these ornamental birds for exhibition, a practice that continues today. From these Asian breeds, distinctive America ...

| | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Chicken - Artificial incubation Chicken egg incubation can successfully occur artificially as well. Nearly all chicken eggs will hatch after 21 days of good conditions - 98-100 degrees fahrenheit (38°C) and around 65% relative humidity (may decrease to 55% in the last three days of incubation.) Many commercial incubators are industrial sized with shelves holding tens of thousands of eggs at a time, with rotation of the eggs a fully automated process.
Home incubators are usually small boxes (styrofoam incubators are popular) and hold 50 eggs. Eggs must be turned thr ...

| | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Chicken - Chickens as food Chickens serve as one of the most common meats in the world, and are frequently prepared as food in a large number of ways. There is significant variation in cooking methods amongst cultures; historically common methods include roasting, baking, and frying. Today, chickens are also cooked by deep frying and prepared as fast food such as chicken nuggets. Modern varieties of chicken, such as the Cornish Cross, are bred specifically for meat production, with an emphasis placed on the ratio of feed to meat produced by the animal. In Chinese culinary culture, chicken is highly-valued, as in the phrase "無雞不歡" (roughly t ...

| | | | | The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Chicken - History The first pictures of chickens in Europe are found on Corinthian pottery of the 7th century BC. The poet Cratinus (mid-5th century BC, according to the later Greek author Athenaeus) calls the chicken "the Persian alarm". In Aristophanes's comedy The Birds (414 BC) a chicken is called "the Median bird", which points to an introduction from the East. Pictures of chickens are found on Greek red figure and black-figure pottery.
In ancient Greece, chickens were still rare and were a rather prestigious food for symposia. Delos seems to have ...
