The document discusses Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, including her early life, role as monarch, travels, and influence on style and fashion. It provides biographical details on her upbringing, education, marriage, and children. While some argue over her actual power, the document examines her role as a visible symbol of the country that brings traditions and represents the monarchy at important events. It also explores how she modernized the monarchy and became a popular public figure through walkabouts and worldwide travels. The queen has become a style icon, and fashion designers draw inspiration from her colorful outfits and signature hats.
The Kelly Gang, consisting of Ned Kelly, Dan Kelly, Steve Hart and Joe Byrne, carried out several robberies in northeastern Victoria in 1878-1879. After police attempted to arrest Dan Kelly, Ned Kelly shot and wounded Constable Fitzpatrick, leading to bounties being placed on the gang. They became notorious bushrangers, robbing the Euroa bank of £3,000 in December 1878 in a raid where they treated locals politely. However, the police crackdown on their sympathizers further alienated the gang.
Viking raids began in AD793 with small, unorganized attacks on monasteries in England. The raids grew in size and frequency as thousands of Vikings left Scandinavia to pillage other lands, traveling via rivers to trade in places like Istanbul and Baghdad. Norwegians sought new lands, settling in Scotland, Ireland, Iceland and Greenland while Danish Vikings focused on Ireland, Wales and eastern England. The Vikings looted treasures, slaves, food, gold and other goods. Monks recorded the attacks and described the widespread destruction, massacres, burnings, and theft wrought by the Vikings as well as the terror left among the remaining populations.

The Vikings originated from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden between the 8th and 11th centuries. They were skilled seafarers and traders who raided and invaded many parts of Europe using longships. The Vikings established settlements in Britain and Ireland, with some becoming parts of the Danelaw under Danish rule. They had their own religious beliefs centered around gods like Odin, Thor, and Loki. The Vikings explored and traded throughout Europe and as far as North America before their era came to an end in the 11th century through conflicts and assimilation.
IRELAND - Part 5 : ANGLO-NORMAN in IRELANDabouzari_vaz
1) In the 12th century, an Irish king named Dermot Mac Murrough attacked another Irish king and took his wife. He was then driven out of Ireland by his enemies and sought help from the King of England, Henry II.
2) In 1169, Henry II sent men to Ireland to help Dermot. However, Henry's men stayed and began taking land for themselves, building cities and castles. Henry then declared himself King of England and Ireland.
3) For the next 400 years, English kings tried to rule Ireland from Dublin but faced resistance from Irish kings who did not want to be ruled by England. There was ongoing conflict between the English and Irish in Ireland.
The Vikings originated from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark between the 8th-12th centuries. They were skilled seafarers and warriors who raided, traded, and established settlements across Northern Europe and beyond. Using advanced longships, they explored as far as North America, founding colonies in places like Iceland, Greenland, and briefly in Canada. Through conquests and negotiations, the Vikings influenced many lands and left a lasting cultural legacy in areas they settled, like parts of Britain and Normandy. Their warrior lifestyle and exploits are documented in Norse sagas and poems.
Who killed the Robin? Nursery Rhymes & their roots in historyIJ Banks
The background to some of our most popular British Nursery Rhymes. Apart from enjoying the Rhymes again, the historical detail adds a new dimension for many who wouldn't normally volunteer for a history lesson! I've presented this to mainly older audiences. It's a great way to think back to when they first heard the rhymes and when they shared them with their own children and grandchildren. You often find someone in the group who loves reading historical dramas and will add extra detail. With thanks to: Iona & Peter Opie's The Oxford Nursery Rhyme Book; Albert Jack's Pop Goes the Weasel; Roger Lancelyn Green Myths of the Norsemen; Felix Dennis's Nursery Rhymes for Modern Times and wikipedia. One of a series of decks given in Lancashire, UK and first presented in 2013. NB: There's more text shown on the slides than I'd actually use in practice but it gives you an idea of the voiceover.
Olaudah Equiano was born in West Africa and kidnapped as a child and sold into slavery. He was transported to the Caribbean on a slave ship, then sold to a British naval officer and spent several years as a slave in Virginia and sailing on ships. He eventually earned his freedom and became an active abolitionist in England, publishing his autobiography in 1789 and lecturing against the cruelty of slavery.
The document discusses the Vikings, who originated from Denmark, Norway and Sweden. They were mostly farmers, craftsmen or traders who also engaged in travel, trade and exploration. The Vikings invaded parts of Britain and established settlements. They lived in wooden or stone houses and wore jewelry. Their society had kings and laws, and they believed in Norse gods. The Vikings built ships for trading goods and exploring new lands. Their influence can still be seen today through archaeological remains, loan words in languages, and place names.
The document provides information about the Vikings from Scandinavia who raided and traded throughout Europe between the 8th and 11th centuries. It describes how the Vikings explored many lands, including settling in places like Normandy, Iceland, Greenland, and even reaching North America. They established settlements and ports in countries like Ireland, England, and Poland. The Vikings played an important role in European history and had a significant impact through both their raids and peaceful colonization efforts.
(1) Olaudah Equiano was kidnapped from Africa as a child and endured the horrors of the Middle Passage and slavery, yet he taught himself to read and write English. (2) After gaining his freedom, he became a prominent abolitionist leader in England, publishing an influential narrative about his life experience. (3) Equiano's narrative was a powerful tool for the abolition movement as it evoked compassion and persuaded readers of the immorality of the slave trade through Equiano's first-
Indians began immigrating to New Zealand in the late 18th century due to overpopulation, lack of employment, and low wages in India (push factors). They were drawn to New Zealand's clean environment and greater opportunities (pull factors). The number of Indian immigrants grew slowly at first, reaching only 195 by 1916, but increased rapidly in recent decades, with over 106,000 Indians living in New Zealand by 2006. Indian immigrants faced challenges including racism from New Zealanders and difficulties leaving behind their families and homes in India.
Indian immigrants began arriving in New Zealand in the late 1800s, primarily finding work as hawkers in cities like Auckland and Christchurch. Many came as single men on British ships, either stowing away or getting jobs on the vessels. Their numbers grew until restrictions were put in place in 1920, though some New Zealanders were racist towards the Indian immigrants and criticized their living conditions. When women did not come, Indian men would send for wives or brides from India.
King Henry VIII had six wives, with Catherine of Aragon being his first and Jane Seymour being his third and only wife to give birth to a son before dying. Tudor houses differed between the rich, who lived in extremely large wooden homes, and the poor, who resided in much smaller wattle and daub structures. While the rich could afford to eat whatever they wanted, the poor had to subsist on whatever affordable or scavenged foods they could find. Education during the Tudor period was not widely available, with boys typically starting school at age 4 while girls were kept at home or sent to work, and discipline sometimes involved whipping disobedient children.
- The document provides a timeline of key events in US history from 1587 to 1800, including early English colonies like Roanoke and Jamestown, conflicts with Native Americans led by Metacom, the development of slavery and laws controlling African Americans, and religious revivals like the Great Awakening. It also discusses the growth of the middle colonies' economy and the rise of the transatlantic slave trade known as the Triangle Trade.
Indian immigrants began coming to New Zealand in the late 1800s, primarily settling in Auckland. They were drawn by New Zealand's open spaces, clean environment, and better economic opportunities compared to their crowded, polluted, and low-paying work conditions in India. However, Indian immigrants still faced challenges settling in New Zealand as they established new lives.

In Yunnan province in southern China, the hills are covered in vivid colors from a blend of crops planted by local peasants. The colors come from the natural oxidation of metal ores in the soil, giving the landscape an unusual red hue. Peasants plant different crops like potatoes, canola, corn, barley, and vegetables in small plots across the hillsides, creating a breathtaking patchwork when viewed from a distance. The scene resembles a surrealist painting and seems lifted from a Tolkien story. Local traditions include harnessing draft animals of different species together, like a horse and donkey, believing it makes the team more manageable.

3) Centers with full existing HIS just need to consider Docnu's costs for additional features like marketing and communications tools.
This document recaps seismic reflection methods, including stacking and migration techniques. It discusses how stacking involves sorting shot gathers into common midpoint gathers and applying normal moveout corrections to create equivalent zero-offset traces. Migration is then needed to place reflectors in their proper subsurface positions, using either pre-stack or post-stack techniques depending on geological complexity. The overall purpose is to improve signal-to-noise ratio and correctly image subsurface features.

Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrated on October 31st. The Celts believed this was when the boundary between the living and dead was at its thinnest. Over time, Samhain merged with Christian holidays and traditions, becoming Halloween. Irish immigrants in the 1800s brought Halloween to North America, establishing traditions like trick-or-treating. By the 1950s, Halloween had evolved into a community holiday focused on children's costumes and collecting candy. Today, Halloween retains ancient superstitions while incorporating modern traditions.

2. There are lots of argues about the Queen in UK
nowadays. Who is she? Is she the main figure in the
state? Does she have real power? Is she leaded by
someone? Or she only has the role of embodiment of the
power, visible symbol and nice statuette? Yes, I want to
prove that she is beautiful and cheerful woman that has
an important role – to show everyone that her country is
leaded by Monarch, that she saves traditions and customs
and attendants important meetings. And also I want to
show that she has become an icon of the style and
fashion.

4. Early life
Elizabeth II was born on April 21, 1926, in
London, England, the oldest child of the Duke
of York and his wife, Elizabeth. Her father
became King George VI of Great Britain and
Ireland in 1936 when his older brother Edward
VIII (1894–1972) gave up the throne. Along
with her younger sister, Margaret, Elizabeth
was educated at home by private tutors. She
particularly liked history, languages, and
music. She later took an interest in national
affairs. As a teenager Elizabeth began to make
her first public appearances. She married
Philip Mountbatten in November 1947, and
they had four children—Prince Charles (1948–
), Princess Anne (1950–), Prince Andrew
(1960–), and Prince Edward (1964–).
5. The new queen
After Elizabeth became queen in 1952, she tried
in her own way to make the British monarchy
more modern and more sensitive to the public.
She began hosting informal luncheons at
Buckingham Palace (the London residence of the
queen) to which a variety of people from fields
such as industry, theater, and sports were invited.
The attendees of her garden parties became
increasingly diverse. She showed interest and skill
in use of the broadcast media, notably in her
annual Christmas television messages, in royally
approved documentaries, and in television
broadcasts of events such as Prince Charles's
naming ceremony as Prince of Wales and royal
weddings.
Perhaps the most popular of Elizabeth's attempts
was the "walkabout," in which she met, shook
hands, and chatted with ordinary people in the
crowds that gathered around her. These strolls
revealed her belief that "I have to be seen to be
believed."
6. A popular traveler
At least part of Elizabeth's popularity could be attributed to her
worldwide travels. Her engaging and gracious attitude during these
travels contributed to the warmth and enthusiasm of the receptions
that greeted her. Between 1970 and 1985 she had an amazingly full
schedule. She visited France in the spring of 1972, attended the
Commonwealth Conference in Ottawa in 1973, and took part in the
United States celebrations of the two-hundredth anniversary of
American independence from England. She then headed north to
Montreal to open the 1976 Summer Olympics. She also traveled
some fifty-six thousand miles as part of her 1977 Silver Jubilee
celebrations, which marked her twenty-fifth year as queen. In 1979
she traveled to Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United
Arab Emirates, and Oman.
In April 1982 Elizabeth made an important visit to Ottawa, Canada,
where she proclaimed the New Canadian constitution, which cut the
last legal links between the United Kingdom and Canada. In March
1984 she visited Jamaica, Grand Cayman Island, Mexico, California,
and British Columbia, Canada. While in California, her first trip to the
west coast of North America, she made some twenty public
appearances, including a visit with Prince Philip to President Ronald
Reagan's (1911–) Santa Barbara ranch and to Yosemite National
Park. She went to North America again in 1984, visiting Canada for
the fourteenth time and afterward the United States.
7. Power or symbol?
• «In tomorrow's world we must all
work together as hard as ever, if we're
truly to be United Nations»
(Elizabeth II)
But where the queen works and what does she do
every day? Does she influence on the main difficult
questions which should be solved in the UK or she
just a fashionable symbol of the state?
8. • «We are a moderate,
pragmatic people, more
comfortable with practice
than theory»
(Elizabeth II)
On one hand:
Is it true?
Does the queen do something herself using
practice?
On the other hand:
Does she need do it?
She is a beautiful icon and it`s enough.
The great 19th-century journalist and
constitutional scholar Walter Bagehot said the
monarch had the prerogative "to be consulted, to
encourage and to warn“, not to deal with problems
and think about decisions.
9. • «I cannot lead you into battle. I do not
give you laws or administer justice but I
can do something else - I can give my heart
and my devotion to these old islands and
to all the peoples of our brotherhood of
nations»

usually six to eight guests and two members of the royal household in attendance.
2. Elizabeth is patron of more than 600 charities and organizations.
3. Elizabeth was the first British monarch to celebrate her diamond

4. The Queen has an extensive collection of jewelry, most of which are crown jewels, some inherited
and some gifts, including the largest pink diamond in the world. Some of her well-known pieces include
a brooch of diamonds forming a spray of wattle that was presented by the Australian government in
1954 and a necklace of large square-cut aquamarines and diamonds with earrings, given as a gift in her
coronation year by the ambassador of Brazil, which Elizabeth wore on her French state visit in 200.
11. 5. She has visited the sets of a number of popular British soap operas, including Coronation Street,
EastEnders and Emmerdale.
6. She has four dogs, which live in the palace with the queen and sleep in special large
baskets; they are driven in a limousine and they are dressed by designers. Every day
Elizabeth II early in the morning walks with her pets.

the purchaser, as a gesture of loyalty,

12. «I have to be seen to be believed»
And she is
believed because
of her outward,
visible and
bright image.
"I think she looks very stylish and she's kind of created her own style. You can't
really compare it with what's going on in fashion or with anyone else because
what she wears suits her and does what it's supposed to do. She always looks
like the Queen. We'd be very disappointed if she ever did anything different."
"I think she'll be bright and colorful - it's a quite formulaic approach because she
needs bright colors so people can see her and hats have always got to have an
upturned brim so her face is not hidden and obviously they must be secured so
they don't blow off in the wind. Hems are always weighted so the skirts don't fly
up and create a wardrobe malfunction.“
13. She is one of the most photographed women in the world!
How much has she influenced ordinary women's dress?
"To design a dress for the Queen means you are creating something for the world's
most famous woman, who's seen by more people on a daily basis than anyone else.
She also has an image in people's minds that you have to fulfil," says Stewart Parvin,
who's been designing for the Queen since 2000.
Grazia magazine's style director, Paula Reed, thinks the Queen is, and always has been, stylish.
"There was a moment, six or seven years ago, when suddenly the traditional British thing was
cool, and at the Dolce & Gabbana show all the models were wearing below-the-knee tweed
skirts, headscarves and big, boxy bags - and the inspiration was so literally, the Queen."
14. Opinions
"She dresses for her age, which is appropriate, you could never say she's mutton
dressed as lamb. She doesn't look uncomfortable, she's not a slave to fashion,
and that's important. She supports British design, but she's not going to set the
fashion world on fire. The most important thing to remember is - don't dress for
anybody but yourself, and I think that's what she has in mind."
The Telegraph's fashion expert Hilary Alexander agrees that "in her
younger days" the Queen was in step with fashion and certainly had
an influence on the fashions of the 50s and 60s, but that "latterly
she's very much developed her own style".
"She's a businesswoman who dresses for her lifestyle. It's
comfortable, elegant and appropriate."
"Anybody who is in the public eye, people follow them. I remember that
around the time of the Silver Jubilee when the Queen would wear
something on a tour, people would immediately snap it up if there was
something similar in the shops. Manufacturers would phone me up and say
'you must do some more like that, they're wonderful sellers'."
15. Special or ordinary, official or casual, light or dark, but always stylish…
HATS
Milliner Freddie Fox spent 34 years designing the Queen's hats - including his most
photographed creation, a hat with pink bells on that she wore for her Silver Jubilee.
Her hats have become something of a trademark, Fox says, and help her stand out in
the crowd, but he agrees with Wayne Hemingway that "comfort is of prime
importance in all of her clothing“.
16. She could be strong, great,
majestic, strong-willed and
reasonable but she always will be
only a queen of the style who can
just support UK outwardly.
