Early Scandinavian Dublin, the First Viking Age in Ireland began in which year, when Vikings began carrying out hit-and-run raids on Gaelic Irish coastal settlements?

Early Scandinavian Dublin The First Viking Age in Ireland began in 795, when Vikings began carrying out hit-and-run raids on Gaelic Irish coastal settlements. Over the following decades the raiding parties became bigger and better organized; inland settlements were targeted as well as coastal ones; and the raiders built naval encampments known as longphorts to allow them to remain in Ireland throughout the winter. In the mid 9th century, Viking leader Turgeis or "Thorgest" founded a stronghold at Dublin, plundered Leinster and Meath, and raided other parts of Ireland. He was killed by the High King, Máel Sechnaill mac Máele Ruanaid, which was followed by several Irish victories against the Vikings and the seizure of Dublin in 849. Shortly after, a new group of Vikings known as the Dubgaill ("dark foreigners") came to Ireland and clashed with the earlier Viking settlers, now called the Finngaill ("fair foreigners"). The wavering fortunes of these three groups and their shifting alliances, together with the shortcomings of contemporary records and the inaccuracy of later accounts, make this period one of the most complicated and least understood in the fledgling city's history. In 853 a Viking warlord called Amlaíb (, possibly Olaf the White) arrived and made himself king of Dublin. He ruled along with his brothers Ímar ("Ívarr", possibly Ivar the Boneless) and Auisle ("Ásl"). For the next fifteen years or so, they used Dublin as their base for a series of campaigns against Irish kingdoms. During these conflicts they briefly allied themselves with several Irish kings. The Dublin Vikings also carried out a number of raids in Britain at this time. The deaths of Ivar (c.873) and Olaf (c.874) were followed by internecine conflict among the Vikings. Although intermittent warfare between the Vikings and the Irish continued, these inner conflicts weakened the Viking colonies and made it easier for the Irish to unite against them. In 902, Cerball mac Muirecáin, king of Leinster, and Máel Findia mac Flannacáin, king of Brega, launched a two-pronged attack on Dublin and drove the Vikings from the city. However, in 914 the Vikings now known as the Uí Ímair (House of Ivar) would return to Ireland, marking the beginning of the Second Viking Age.

Kondiaronk Kondiaronk (c. 1649–1701) (Gaspar Soiaga, Souojas, Sastaretsi), known as "Le Rat" (The Muskrat) was Chief of the Hurons at Michilimackinac. As a result of an Iroquois attack and dispersal of the Hurons in 1649 the Hurons settled in Michilimackinac. The Michilimackinac area is near Lake Huron and Lake Michigan (area between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas). Noted as a brilliant orator and a formidable strategist, he led the pro-French Petun and Huron refugees of Michilimackinac against their traditional Iroquois enemies. Kondiaronk realized the only way to establish security was to maintain a war between their enemies, the Iroquois, and the French in an attempt to keep the Iroquois occupied and the Hurons safe from annihilation. The Rat succeeded in killing the peace however, once he had secured the preservation of his people he favored a vast peace settlement. This effort concluded in what is known as The Great Peace of Montreal (1701) between France, the Iroquois, and the other Indian tribes of the Upper Great Lakes. This ended the Beaver Wars and helped open up the interior of North America to deeper French exploration and commerce. Kondiaronk made them see the advantages such a peace would bring them. The Jesuit historian, Father Pierre-Francois de Charlevoix wrote that "it was the general opinion that no Indian had ever possessed greater merit, a finer mind, more valor, prudence or discernment in understanding those with whom he had to deal". Louis-Hector de Callier, the Onontio (governor) that replaced Frontenac, was "exclusively indebted to him for...this assemblage, till then unexampled of so many nations for a general peace". Kondiaronk contracted a fever and died in Montreal during the negotiations for the Great Peace on August 2, 1701. A Christian convert, his body was buried at Montreal's Notre Dame Church after a majestic funeral. No trace of the grave remains. The Kondiaronk Belvedere in Montreal's Mount Royal Park is named in his honor. In 2001 he was named a Person of National Historic Significance by the Canadian government.

The Pantages Theatre hall's ceiling was decorated with a skylight by what American luxury jewelry and specialty retailer?

Pantages Theatre (Salt Lake City) The Pantages Theatre is an historic theater in Salt Lake City, Utah in the United States of America. It opened in 1918 as the Pantages Theater, after the name of its owner, Alexander Pantages. Babe Ruth performed there in 1927. Abbott and Costello, Will Rogers, and many other celebrities also performed in the theater during its heyday. Formerly also known as the RKO Orpheum and later as the Utah Theater, it was built in 1918. The theater was originally built for vaudeville at the princely sum of over two million dollars, making it among the most expensive and opulent structures in the Pantages theater chain. The structure, designed by celebrated architect B. Marcus Priteca, was built in the interior of a city block, and reached by long grand gallery extending to Main Street. The interior lobby was done in an exotic neo-classical style, [the touted Pantages Greek] with ornate plaster work, an inlaid marble floor, and ramps ascending to the mezzanine level. The interior was accented with Alaskan marble and faux tile. The auditorium's proscenium was flanked with marble columns and gilded opera boxes. The hall's ceiling was decorated with a Tiffany skylight. The main floor of the auditorium seated 1700, and the balcony accommodated an additional 600 patrons. The theater functioned as a vaudeville venue through the 1920s, before being converted into a movie palace during the 1930s. Through most of the decade, the theater was owned by Radio-Keith Orpheum and was renamed the RKO Orpheum. By 1937, however, it had taken the name the Utah Theater, which has endured to the present. One of the highlights of the Utah as a movie venue was during the mid-1960s, when the Sound of Music had a run in the theater that lasted two years. In 1968, the theater was split into upper and lower levels, with the balcony being transformed into a second auditorium. This architectural arrangement, commonly known as "piggybacking," was frequently imposed on older traditional theaters during the 1960s and early 1970s. With this transformation, an escalator ascended from the Utah's mezzanine to the top rows of the balcony. During the remodeling the proscenium, box seating and some of the elaborate ornamentation was removed. In 1988, the structure ceased operation as a movie theater, and was used by local dance company until 1992, when the building was sold. After passing through the hands of various owners, the vacant building was purchased by the Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency in 2009. At this time there are no definitive plans for the future of this theater.

What is the name of the hairstyle worn by some early modern military orginizations and Prince Rui, the Manchu prince?

Dorgon Dorgon (Manchu: , literally "badger"; 17 November 1612 – 31 December 1650), formally known as Prince Rui, was a Manchu prince and regent of the early Qing dynasty. Born in the Aisin Gioro clan as the 14th son of Nurhaci (the founder of the Qing dynasty), Dorgon started his career in military campaigns against the Ming dynasty, Mongols and Koreans during the reign of his eighth brother, Huangtaiji, who succeeded their father. After Huangtaiji's death in 1643, he was involved in a power struggle against Huangtaiji's eldest son, Hooge, over the succession to the throne. Both of them eventually came to a compromise by backing out and letting Huangtaiji's ninth son, Fulin, become the emperor; Fulin was installed on the throne as the Shunzhi Emperor. Dorgon served as Prince-Regent from 1643–1650, throughout the Shunzhi Emperor's early reign. In 1645, he was given the honorary title "Emperor's Uncle and Prince-Regent"; the title was changed to "Emperor's Father and Prince-Regent" in 1649. Under Dorgon's regency, Qing forces occupied Beijing, the capital of the fallen Ming dynasty, and gradually conquered the rest of China in a series of battles against Ming loyalists and other opposing forces around China. Dorgon also introduced the policy of forcing all Han Chinese men to shave the front of the heads and wear their hair in queues just like the Manchus. He died in 1650 during a hunting trip and was posthumously honoured as an emperor even though he was never an emperor during his lifetime. A year after Dorgon's death, however, the Shunzhi Emperor accused Dorgon of several crimes, stripped him of his titles, and ordered his remains to be exhumed and flogged in public. Dorgon was posthumously rehabilitated and restored of his honorary titles by the Qianlong Emperor in 1778.

What month of the year did the symbolic monarchy of the Tulip Festival takes place?

Tulip Festival (Albany, New York) The Tulip Festival is held in Albany, New York every spring at Washington Park. It stems from when Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd got a city ordinance passed declaring the tulip as Albany's official flower on July 1, 1948. In addition, he sent a request to Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands to name a variety as Albany's tulip. On July 11, 1948 her reply was "Her Majesty gladly accepts the invitation to designate a tulip as the official flower of Albany." She picked the variety "Orange Wonder", an 18-inch tall tulip that is orange-shaded with a scarlet toward the center, it is a slow-grower and relatively rare. The first Tulip Fest was celebrated the next year on May 14, 1949 with opening ceremonies still carried on today as tradition, such as the sweeping of State Street and the crowning of a Tulip Queen. In 1997 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the festival the state of New York designated Albany as the "I Love New York Spring Destination". Also for the 50th anniversary a descendant variety of the "Wonder Orange" tulip was found in the Netherlands, and the new variety was named "City of Albany". The African-American tradition of Pinksterfest, whose origins are traced back even further to Dutch festivities, was later incorporated into the Tulip Fest. Since 1998 the Tulip Fest has included the Mother of the Year award.

Ancient Macedonian calendar The Ancient Macedonian calendar is a lunisolar calendar that was in use in ancient Macedon in the 1st millennium BC. It consisted of 12 synodic lunar months (i.e. 354 days per year), which needed intercalary months to stay in step with the seasons. By the time the calendar was being used across the Hellenistic world, seven total "embolimoi" (intercalary months) were being added in each 19-year Metonic cycle. The names of the ancient Macedonian Calendar remained in use in Syria even into the Christian era. The Macedonian calendar was in essence the Babylonian calendar with the substitution of Macedonian names for the Babylonian ones. An example of 6th century AD inscriptions from Decapolis, Jordan, bearing the Solar Macedonian calendar, starts from the month Audynaeus. The solar type was merged later with the Julian calendar. In Roman Macedonia, both calendars were used. The Roman one is attested in inscriptions with the name "Kalandôn" gen. καλανδῶν calendae and the Macedonian "Hellenikei" dat. Ἑλληνικῇ Hellenic. Finally an inscription from Kassandreia of about ca. 306-298 BC bearing a month Ἀθηναιῶν "Athenaion" suggests that some cities may have used their own months even after the 4th century BC Macedonian expansion.

Where did Shoshana Bean perform at the Broadway Rose Theatre Company?

Broadway Rose Theatre Company In 1991, seven years after meeting in a summer stock production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" in Shamokin Dam, Pennsylvania, Dan Murphy and Sharon Maroney (married), along with fellow performer Matthew Ryan (a native of Tigard, OR) and his partner Joseph Morkys, decided to move from New York City to start a summer stock theatre in Tigard. The team pooled their savings of $21,000 and in November 1991, Broadway Rose Theatre Company was incorporated as a 501(c)(3). In the summer of 1992, the first season of Broadway Rose Theatre Company was performed at the Deb Fennell Auditorium at Tigard High School. The company produced five mainstage shows and a children's show in eight weeks, with an average audience of 32 people per performance. The company lost $8,700 in its first season, but the following year the fledgling company received a $3,000 grant from the Metropolitan Arts Commission (a forerunner of the Regional Arts & Culture Council), to help bring the organization out of debt. In 1993, the company produced "Oklahoma!" with no funds—putting the entire payroll on Dan's personal credit card. The situation resolved itself as audiences picked up. In 1994, the company received a $4,000 grant from the Metropolitan Arts Commission. Audiences averaged 132 people per performance that year—a 313 percent increase from 1992. In 1995, The Collins Foundation provided the company a $5,000 grant, allowing Sharon Maroney to become the company's first paid employee. Platt Electric Supply became Broadway Rose's first title sponsor in 1996, providing a new level of stable funding (they would stay on as a title sponsor through 2012 when Harvey Platt sold the company). In 1997, co-founders Matthew Ryan and Joe Morkys left Broadway Rose and returned to New York. That year Broadway Rose held its first drama camp for young performers aged 8–11. Also in 1997, Shoshana Bean, who would later become famous for portraying Elphaba on Broadway in the musical "Wicked""," starred in the Broadway Rose production of "Bye Bye Birdie." The company's offices moved from Dan and Sharon's home to a Platt Electric Supply branch office in 1999. Later that year, the Sherwood Arts Council contracted Broadway Rose to produce "Broadway Goes Hollywood", a fundraiser for SAC held at the historic Robin Hood Theater in Sherwood, OR. Broadway Rose's annual budget rose to around $175,000 with ticket sales accounting for just under half of the total, and Dan's general manager position officially became funded, making him an employee rather than a volunteer.

What genus does the chimpanzee that the has a similar mating system to early humans, according to the authors of "Sex at Dawn", make up?

Sex at Dawn Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality is a book dealing with the evolution of monogamy in humans and human mating systems. First published in 2010, it was co-authored by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá (] ). In opposition to what the authors see as the 'standard narrative' of human sexual evolution, they contend having multiple sexual partners was common and accepted in the environment of evolutionary adaptedness. Mobile self-contained groups of hunter gatherers are posited as the human norm before agriculture led to high population density. According to the authors, before agriculture, sex was relatively promiscuous, and paternity was not a concern, in a similar way to the mating system of Bonobos. According to the book, sexual interactions strengthened the bond of trust in the groups; far from causing jealousy, social equilibrium and reciprocal obligation was strengthened by playful sexual interactions.

Microstigmus The thin-waisted social wasps (genus Microstigmus), which typically reside in neotropic regions from Central to South America, are a small genus of wasps that build nests and live in colonies ranging in size from 1 to 18 members. "Microstigmus" is widely considered to be the only true eusocial species within the Crabronidae family. Like all Hymenoptera, "Microstigmus" has an interesting sex determination pattern. Females are 2n (diploid), spawning from eggs that have been fertilized, while males are 1n (haploid) and spawn from unfertilized eggs. Female wasps contain the eggs within their egg sac and have the option of fertilizing them or not, thus having complete control of the gender of their offspring. This wasp genus, part of the suborder Apocrita, is distinguished physically by the narrow waist (petiole) between the end segment of the thorax (mesosoma) and the beginning of the abdomen (metasoma). Specifically, it is in the subgroup of "apoid wasps", those that exhibit social behavior in nesting and foraging. Evidence does exist that in some species social altruism is visible; however, studies on these topics have been limited. The small size and enclosed nest structure makes it difficult to obtain significant data. Although it was originally classified under the Sphecidae family due to its elongated petiole, "Microstigmus" has been reclassified into the new Crabronidae family.

Vadama Vadama (Tamil: வடமா ) meaning "Northerners" are a sub-sect of the Iyer community of Tamil Brahmins. While some believe that their name is an indication of the fact that they were the most recent Brahmin migrants to the Tamil country others interpret the usage of the term "Vadama" as a reference to their strict adherence to the Sanskrit language and Vedic rituals which are of northerly origin . It may also be possible that Vadamas may be Brahmins whose origins lie in the Dravida region of northern Tamil Nadu. Like other Iyer communities, they follow the "Advaita" philosophy propounded by Adi Shankara. A significant proportion of the Vadama community adopted Vaishnavism, and are thus believed to have given rise to the Vadagalai Iyengar community. The oldest historical references to Vadamas date from the first millennium AD. A large number of Vadamas migrated to Kerala during the medieval period, so that Vadamas along with the Brahacharnam form the majority of the Kerala Iyer community. A section of the Vadama community also migrated north to the Telugu country and Maharashtra where they were known as "Dravidas".

Battle of Björkösund The Battle of Björkösund took place on July 2–3, 1790 during Russo-Swedish War (1788–90), between Sweden and the Russian Empire. The Russians, who had the navy of their Swedish opponents along with their Archipelago fleet trapped inside the Vyborg Bay, planned to attack the Swedish ships from different directions causing a decisive defeat on its navy before the wind would allow them to escape the trap. On the night of July 2–3 the attack was commenced by Karl Heinrich von Nassau-Siegen who, with his coastal fleet of 81 ships of various sizes, sailed to meet with the Swedes stationed at the eastern strait of Björkösund. The Swedes with three divisions of mostly gun sloops and yawls under Lieutenant colonel Klas Hjelmstierna with major Leijonankar and captain Scharff assisting in their divisions, had about 42 boats (14 in each division) under their command. The strait beside the island of Kantasari, from which the Russians had to attack through, was narrow and was met with fierce fire at 23:00 on July 2 by the Swedish vessels. The fighting continued until 04:00 on July 3, until the Swedish Lieutenant received orders to fall back to the main Swedish ships as the breakthrough from Vyborg Bay was about to begin. A squadron of Lieutenant colonel Stedingk consisting of turumas was initially left to cover their withdrawal, but as the Russians choose not to pursue, they as well went off to the main Swedish vessels. In the battle the Swedes lost only 3 killed and another 8 wounded. The Russians, on the other hand lost up to 400 men killed and wounded according to their own numbers provided by captives after the battle of Svensksund (mostly due to the narrow strait they had to attack through), as well as one frigate and one xebec another larger ship was also lost along with some smaller ones. The Swedes were successful in that they managed to hold off the Russian coastal fleet long enough for the preparations for the breakthrough to be set and so, on July 3, Gustav III of Sweden and his navy finally broke out, although with heavy losses.

What luxury jeweler decorated the ceiling of The Pantages Theatre?

Pantages Theatre (Salt Lake City) The Pantages Theatre is an historic theater in Salt Lake City, Utah in the United States of America. It opened in 1918 as the Pantages Theater, after the name of its owner, Alexander Pantages. Babe Ruth performed there in 1927. Abbott and Costello, Will Rogers, and many other celebrities also performed in the theater during its heyday. Formerly also known as the RKO Orpheum and later as the Utah Theater, it was built in 1918. The theater was originally built for vaudeville at the princely sum of over two million dollars, making it among the most expensive and opulent structures in the Pantages theater chain. The structure, designed by celebrated architect B. Marcus Priteca, was built in the interior of a city block, and reached by long grand gallery extending to Main Street. The interior lobby was done in an exotic neo-classical style, [the touted Pantages Greek] with ornate plaster work, an inlaid marble floor, and ramps ascending to the mezzanine level. The interior was accented with Alaskan marble and faux tile. The auditorium's proscenium was flanked with marble columns and gilded opera boxes. The hall's ceiling was decorated with a Tiffany skylight. The main floor of the auditorium seated 1700, and the balcony accommodated an additional 600 patrons. The theater functioned as a vaudeville venue through the 1920s, before being converted into a movie palace during the 1930s. Through most of the decade, the theater was owned by Radio-Keith Orpheum and was renamed the RKO Orpheum. By 1937, however, it had taken the name the Utah Theater, which has endured to the present. One of the highlights of the Utah as a movie venue was during the mid-1960s, when the Sound of Music had a run in the theater that lasted two years. In 1968, the theater was split into upper and lower levels, with the balcony being transformed into a second auditorium. This architectural arrangement, commonly known as "piggybacking," was frequently imposed on older traditional theaters during the 1960s and early 1970s. With this transformation, an escalator ascended from the Utah's mezzanine to the top rows of the balcony. During the remodeling the proscenium, box seating and some of the elaborate ornamentation was removed. In 1988, the structure ceased operation as a movie theater, and was used by local dance company until 1992, when the building was sold. After passing through the hands of various owners, the vacant building was purchased by the Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency in 2009. At this time there are no definitive plans for the future of this theater.

To satisfy what dynasty, did the Duchy of Pomerania get partitioned several times who was later granted as a whole and the Principality of Rügen as a fief to the dukes of both Pomerania-Stettin and Pomerania-Wolgast, by a King of Bohemia and the first King of Bohemia to also become Holy Roman Emperor?

Partitions of the Duchy of Pomerania The Duchy of Pomerania was partitioned several times to satisfy the claims of the male members of the ruling House of Pomerania dynasty. The partitions were named after the ducal residences: Pomerania-Barth, -Demmin, -Rügenwalde, -Stettin, -Stolp, and -Wolgast. None of the partitions had a hereditary character, the members of the House of Pomerania inherited the duchy in common. The duchy thus continued to exist as a whole despite its division. The only exception was made during a war with the Margraviate of Brandenburg, when in 1338 Barnim III of Pomerania-Stettin was granted his partition as a fief directly from the Holy Roman Emperor, while Pomerania-Wolgast remained under formal Brandenburgian overlordship. However, already in 1348, German king and later emperor Charles IV again granted the Duchy of Pomerania as a whole and the Principality of Rügen as a fief to the dukes of both Pomerania-Stettin and Pomerania-Wolgast, nullifying Brandenburg's claims by granting Imperial immediacy.

Most of Silesia was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1742; and the Duchy of Teschen, Duchy of Troppau and Duchy of Nysa remained under the control of the Bohemian crown as Austrian Silesia until 1918.
