In their 1980–81 season, the English football club Ipswich Town F.C. finished as runners-up in the championship of the Football League First Division, were semi-finalists in the FA Cup, and won the UEFA Cup. Ipswich played 66 competitive games during the season, winning 37, drawing 13 and losing 16. The season began with an unbeaten run in the club's opening 15 league matches. By the middle of March, they were strong title contenders with only two defeats in thirty-two, but a 2–1 defeat at Manchester United triggered a slump which handed the initiative to eventual league champions Aston Villa. This result was the second-best finish Ipswich had achieved in their history, bettered only by their 1961–62 championship-winning season. The club reached the semi-final of the FA Cup, losing in extra time to Manchester City. They won the final of the 1981 UEFA Cup, where a 5–4aggregate victory over the Dutch team AZ Alkmaar clinched the club's first and only European trophy(celebration pictured). (Fullarticle...)
The rainbow lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus) is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. It is found along the east coast of Australia, from northern Queensland to South Australia, and inhabits forest, shrubland, wetlands and some artificial habitats. It feeds mainly on fruit, pollen and nectar, using a specialised tongue to gather pollen and nectar from flowers. Clutches contain one to three eggs, which are incubated for around 25 days by the female alone. The species is classified as being of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. This rainbow lorikeet of the subspecies T.m.moluccanus was photographed in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney.
The Capitoline Wolf is a bronze sculpture depicting a scene from the legend of the founding of Rome, in which the mythical founders, Romulus and Remus, are suckled by a she-wolf. Long believed to be an Etruscan work of the 5th century BC, the work has more recently been dated by some scientific analyses to the Middle Ages, although its age remains disputed. The figures of the twins were added in the late 15th century, probably by Antonio del Pollaiuolo. The sculpture has been displayed since 1471 in the Palazzo dei Conservatori of the Capitoline Museums in Rome. The image of the wolf and twins has become one of the city's best-known symbols and has been reproduced in numerous statues worldwide.
There is a great disconnect between how athiests and religionist view the proper place for religion in the public square. Briefly, atheists (usually) want no religion in the public square, and religionists want equal access (non-denominational) to the public square and view athiesm as just one other "religion" that needs access.
Wikipedia's Reputation
I've been thinking about this key principle: "[What] reliable sources ... have in common is process and approval between document creation and publication." This is also the key to Wikipedia's reliability and reputation. The core principles of neutrality and verifiability along with the standards for articles (featured/good/etc) and the implicit approval of every person who reads an article and makes no changes to it.
Intellectual Property
We (Americans) often "borrow" other people's intellectual property because the transaction method (i.e. limited use permission) does not exist and can not be created without the transaction cost exceeding the value of the permission (which is close to $0.00 in most cases) so we keep using other's work, and they don't sue us.
