THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH: How English went from an obscure Germanic dialect to a global language: Whatever your thoughts on the matter, English, with all its vagaries and annoying inconsistencies, remains the single most important and influential language in today’s world. Throughout history, it has repeatedly found itself in the right place at the right time: English-speaking Britain was the leading colonial nation in the 17th and 18th Century, as well as the leader of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 18th Century; in the late 19th and 20th Century, English-speaking America was the leading economic power, and was also at the forefront of the electronic and digital revolution of the late 20th Century.

But, it has also proved itself the most flexible and resilient of languages, remarkable for its ability to adopt and absorb vocabulary from other cultures. It has survived incursions by invading armies, outfaced potential extinction on more than one occasion, and navigated the changing cultural zeitgeist, growing ever stronger in the process. Its continued vitality is evidenced by the number and diversity of its worldwide variations today.

The main part of this website, the History, can be read as a kind of story, in chapters, following the development of the English language from its Indo-European origins, through Old English and Middle English to Early Modern English and Late Modern English, before a brief look at English Today. But there is also section on Language Issues (including How New Words are Created, Language and Geography and English as a Global Language), a Timeline of important dates in the development of English, a Glossary of some of the technical and historical terms used, and a list of Sources and Links...

Václav Havel was born in Prague on 5 October 1936

noreply@blogger.com (George Hero) — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 10:28:18 PDT

Václav Havel

Václav Havel was born in Prague, on 5 October 1936.
He grew up in a well-known and wealthy entrepreneurial and intellectual family, which was closely linked to the cultural and political events in Czechoslovakia from the 1920s to the 1940s. His father was the owner of the suburb Barrandov which was located on the highest point of Prague and of Barrandov film studios. Havel's mother came from a well known family; her father was an ambassador and well-known journalist.

Because of Havel's bourgeois history, the Communist regime did not allow Havel to study formally after he had completed his required schooling in 1951. In the first part of the 1950s, the young Havel entered into a four-year apprenticeship as a chemical laboratory assistant and simultaneously took evening classes; he completed his secondary education in 1954. For political reasons, he was not accepted into any post-secondary school with a humanities program; therefore, he opted to study at the Faculty of Economics of Czech Technical University in Prague but dropped out after two years.
Vaclav Havel led a revolution that overturned four decades of communism in his native Czechoslovakia, languished five years in prison, wrote 19 plays, survived nearly drowning, and served 14 years as president — all the while remaining one of his generation’s most nonconformist writers.

Yet while the west has lionized him, in his native Czech Republic, 19 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, he remains a source of ambivalence, if not sometimes downright resentment.

Some have argued that Mr. Havel held onto the presidency too long — 13 years — for his claim of being a reluctant president to ring true. Others, like Erik Tabery, a Czech journalist who is writing a book about the Czech presidency, said some Czechs resented Mr. Havel because he held up an uncomfortable mirror to their own history of chronic passivity.

Born into a wealthy, bourgeois family in 1936, Mr. Havel first rose to prominence as a chain-smoking rebel-intellectual in the 1960s. In 1968, when the Red Army invaded Czechoslovakia to suppress a democratic blossoming known as the Prague Spring, Mr. Havel denounced the invasion, and his plays were censored.

Mr. Havel is credited with overseeing the smooth transition from communism to liberal capitalism after leading a 10-day Velvet Revolution in 1989, so velvety that not a single bullet was fired. Once elected as the president a newly democratized Czechoslovakia — a role he insists was more duty than aspiration — he linked the country firmly to the West, clearing the way for the Czech Republic to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 1999, and the European Union five years later.

His star status drew world leaders to Prague, from the Dalai Lama, with whom Mr. Havel meditated for hours, to Bill Clinton, who serenaded him on his saxophone. Calling on the former dissident became a politically redemptive act.

Yet his presidency, which ended in 2003, was marked by a jovial eccentricity that endeared as well as repelled. He invited the Rolling Stones to the imposing Prague castle, the office of the president, covered the side of the castle with a large neon-red heart, hired female body guards — and drove along the castle’s endlessly long corridors in a red pedal scooter. Critics called him a reluctant leader who learned to like power too much.

One of his first big political setbacks came shortly after he took office, when he stubbornly resigned to protest the break up of Czechoslovakia in 1992. The country’s dismemberment into two separate states, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, happened anyway — presaging secessionist movements in other parts of Europe.

Colonel Bogey March

noreply@blogger.com (George Hero) — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 01:57:14 PDT

Kamenný most Stones Bridge

The "Colonel Bogey March" is a popular march that was written in 1914 by Lieutenant F. J. Ricketts (1881–1945), a British army bandmaster who later became director of music for the Royal Marines at Plymouth. Since at that time service personnel were not encouraged to have professional lives outside the armed forces, Ricketts published "Colonel Bogey" and his other compositions under the pseudonym Kenneth Alford. Supposedly, the tune was inspired by a military man and golfer who whistled a characteristic two-note phrase (a descending minor third interval) instead of shouting "Fore!". It is this descending interval which begins each line of the melody. The name "Colonel Bogey" began in the later 19th century as the imaginary "standard opponent" of the Colonel Bogey scoring system, and by Edwardian times the Colonel had been adopted by the golfing world as the presiding spirit of the course. Edwardian golfers in North America often played matches against "Colonel Bogey". Bogey is now a golfing term meaning one over par.

The sheet music was a million-seller, and the march was recorded many times. "Colonel Bogey" is the authorized march of The King's Own Calgary Regiment (RCAC) of the Canadian Forces. Many humorous or satirical verses have been sung to this tune; some of them vulgar. The English quickly established a simple insulting use for the tune, where the first two syllables were used for a variety of rude expressions, e.g. "Bollocks", then followed by "...and the same to you." and perhaps even more commonly "Bullshit, that's all the band can play, Bullshit, they play it night and day". The best known, which originated in England at the outset of World War II, goes by the title "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball". A later parody, based on a 1960s television commercial which used the melody, sung by schoolchildren in the United States, is called "Comet", and deals with the effects of consuming a popular brand of household cleanser. en.wikipedia.org

A memorable feature of the "The Bridge on the River Kwai" movie is the Colonel Bogey theme, that's whistled by the POW's when they enter the camp.

MEMORYWEBSITE: The Seekers - I'll never find another you (1968): There's a new world somewhere they call the promised land,
And I'll be there someday if you will hold my hand.
I still need you there beside me, no matter what I do,
For I know I'll never find another you.
There is always someone for each of us they say,
And you'll be my someone forever and a day.
I could search the whole world over until my life is through,
But I know I'll never find another you.

It's a long, long journey, so stay by my side.
When I walk through the storm, you'll be my guide, be my guide.

If they gave me a fortune, my pleasure would be small;
I could lose it all tomorrow and never mind at all.
But if I should lose your love dear, I don't know what I'd do,
For I know I'll never find another you.

After departing central London, your tour starts on the English coast in Dover, overlooking the legendary White Cliffs of Dover. A visit to Dover Castle's Great Tower taking you back to the medieval court of King Henry II (1200's), who built the tower to showcase his power and wealth.

You'll also discover Dover’s Secret Wartime Tunnels and experience life as it was lived by the 700 personnel based here during World War II. You will see the Command Centre where Sir Winston Churchill viewed the Battle of Britain, relive the drama as a surgeon struggles to save the life of a pilot in the underground hospital, and see the room where the evacuation of Dunkirk was planned.

Next you will travel to the ancient city of Canterbury. After lunch (included), you can enjoy a guided walking tour where you will hear ancient tales of Thomas Becket's murder at Canterbury Cathedral in 1170, which led to the cathedral becoming a place of pilgrimage for Christians worldwide. This pilgrimage provided the theme for Geoffrey Chaucer's 14th-century literary classic The Canterbury Tales.

In the mid- afternoon you will head for Greenwich, best known for its maritime history. You will have time to explore on a guided walking tour before joining a Thames cruise passing historic sites including the Tower of London, before arriving back at Westminster Pier where the tour ends. "

Old Town Square Staroměstské náměstí is a historic square in the Old Town quarter of Prague in the Czech Republic

noreply@blogger.com (George Hero) — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 14:19:02 PDT

Ze Staroměstského náměstí trochu dobrých melodií, Škoda lásky
Old Town Square ( Czech : Staroměstské náměstí ) is a historic square in the Old Town quarter of Prague in the Czech Republic
Located between Wenceslas Square and the Charles Bridge , Prague's Old Town Square is often bursting at the seams with tourists in the summer. Featuring various architectural styles including the gothic Týn Cathedral and baroque St. Nicholas Church , the square is an oasis for travelers wearied by Prague's narrow streets. Among many churches, tourists may find the Astronomical Clock on this square, while the tower at the Old Town Hall offers a panoramic view of Old Town shop.

The square's center is home to a statue of religious reformer Jan Hus , who for his beliefs was burned at the stake in Constance . The statue known as the Jan Hus Memorial was erected on July 6, 1915 to mark the 500th anniversary of his death.
Nachází se mezi Václavským náměstím a Karlův most , Staroměstské náměstí je často praská ve švech s turisty v létě. Díky různých architektonických stylů, včetně gotické Týnský chrám a barokní sv Mikuláše , na náměstí je oázou pro cestovatele unavené úzkými uličkami Prahy. Kromě mnoha kostelů, mohou turisté najít orloj na náměstí, zatímco věž Staré radnice nabízí panoramatický výhled na Staré Město.

Na náměstí uprostřed je socha náboženský reformátor Jan Hus , který se za své názory byl upálen na hranici v Kostnici . Socha známá jako Jan Hus pomník byl postaven 6. července 1915 k příležitosti 500. výročí jeho smrti.

Petula Clark - Kiss Me Goodbye (1968)

noreply@blogger.com (George Hero) — Thu, 26 May 2011 07:38:37 PDT

Petula Clark, CBE (born 15 November 1932) is an English singer, actress, and composer whose career has spanned seven decades.

Clark's professional career began as an entertainer on BBC Radio during World War II. During the 1960s she became known internationally for her popular upbeat hits, including "Downtown," "I Know a Place," "My Love," "Colour My World," "A Sign of the Times," and "Don't Sleep in the Subway". Clark's official website claims that she has sold in excess of 68 million records throughout her career.

Petula Clark

Born to English father Leslie Norman Clark and Welsh mother Doris (née Phillips), both nurses, in Epsom, Surrey, England, she was christened Petula Sally Olwen Clark. Her father Leslie coined her first name, jokingly alleging it was a combination of the names of two former girlfriends, Pet and Ulla. As a child, she sang in the chapel choir and showed a talent for mimicry, frequently impersonating Vera Lynn, Carmen Miranda, and Sophie Tucker for the amusement of family and friends. Her father introduced her to theatre when he took her to see Flora Robson in a 1938 production of Mary Tudor; she later recalled that after the performance "I made up my mind then and there I was going to be an actress . . . I wanted to be Ingrid Bergman more than anything else in the world." However, her first public performances were as a singer, performing with an orchestra in the entrance hall of Bentalls Department Store in Kingston upon Thames for a tin of toffee and a gold wristwatch, in 1939.

In October 1942, Clark made her radio debut while attending a BBC broadcast with her father, hoping to send a message to an uncle stationed overseas. During an air raid, the producer requested that someone perform to settle the jittery audience, and she volunteered a rendering of "Mighty Lak a Rose" to an enthusiastic response in the theatre. She then repeated her performance for the broadcast audience, launching a series of some 500 appearances in programmes designed to entertain the troops. In addition to radio work, Clark frequently toured the United Kingdom with her fellow child performer Julie Andrews. Clark became known as "Britain's Shirley Temple", and she was considered a mascot by the British Army, whose troops plastered her photos on their tanks for good luck as they advanced into battle.

noreply@blogger.com (George Hero) — Mon, 02 May 2011 13:48:47 PDT

Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, and is generally extended to refer to the clock or the clock tower as well. Some believe this extension to be incorrect, but its usage is now entirely commonplace. It is the largest four-faced chiming clock and the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world. It celebrated its 150th anniversary in May 2009, during which celebratory events took place.The clock was finished being built on April 10, 1858. The clock tower has become one of the most prominent symbols of both London and England, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.

Spojené království Londýn Historické objekty Westminsterský palác

Tower Historické sídlo králů

The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, is the meeting place of the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom—the House of Lords and the House of Commons. It lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the heart of the London borough of the City of Westminster, close to the historic Westminster Abbey and the government buildings of Whitehall and Downing Street. The name may refer to either of two structures: the Old Palace, a medieval building complex most of which was destroyed in 1834, and its replacement New Palace that stands today; it has retained its original style and status as a royal residence for ceremonial purposes.

The first royal palace was built on the site in the eleventh century, and Westminster was the primary London residence of the Kings of England until a fire destroyed much of the complex in 1512. After that, it served as the home of Parliament, which had been meeting there since the thirteenth century, and the seat of the Royal Courts of Justice, based in and around Westminster Hall. In 1834, an even greater fire ravaged the heavily rebuilt Houses of Parliament, and the only structures of significance to survive were Westminster Hall, the Cloisters of St Stephen's, the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft and the Jewel Tower.

Buckinghamský palác

The subsequent competition for the reconstruction of the Palace was won by architect Charles Barry and his design for a building in the Perpendicular Gothic style. The remains of the Old Palace (with the exception of the detached Jewel Tower) were incorporated in its much larger replacement, which contains over 1,100 rooms organised symmetrically around two series of courtyards. Part of the New Palace's area of 3.24 hectares (8 acres) was reclaimed from the Thames, which is the setting of its principal façade, the 265.8-metre (872 ft) river front. Barry was assisted by Augustus W. N. Pugin, a leading authority on Gothic architecture and style, who provided designs for the decoration and furnishings of the Palace. Construction started in 1840 and lasted for thirty years, suffering great delays and cost overruns, as well as the death of both leading architects; works for the interior decoration continued intermittently well into the twentieth century. Major conservation work has been carried out since, due to the effects of London's air pollution, and extensive repairs took place after the Second World War, including the reconstruction of the Commons Chamber following its bombing in 1941.

Windsorf

The Palace is one of the centres of political life in the United Kingdom; "Westminster" has become a metonym for the UK Parliament, and the Westminster system of government has taken its name after it. Its Clock Tower, in particular, which has become known as "Big Ben" after its main bell, is an iconic landmark of London and the United Kingdom in general, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city and an emblem of parliamentary democracy. The Palace of Westminster has been a Grade I listed building since 1970 and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.

Lyrics:
I wasnt jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And Im possessive, it isnt nice
Youve heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isnt true
Now everything is new
And all Ive learned has overturned
I beg of you......

Dont go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little smalltalk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still dont know what youve done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I dont have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear......"

It is the fastest of all cats The cheetah

noreply@blogger.com (ninive) — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 09:13:17 PDT

The cheetah

The cheetah is an atypical member of the cat family (Felidae). It is the fastest of all cats, but lacks strong climbing abilities. The species is the only living member of the genus Acinonyx. It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 112 and 120 km/h (70 and 75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m (1,600 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds.
The cheetah has unusually low genetic variability. This is accompanied by a very low sperm count and motility, and deformed flagella. Skin grafts between unrelated cheetahs illustrate the former point in that there is no rejection of the donor skin. It is thought that the species went through a prolonged period of inbreeding following a genetic bottleneck during the last ice age. This suggests that genetic monomorphism did not prevent the cheetah from flourishing across two continents for thousands of years.

The cheetah likely evolved in Africa during the Miocene epoch (26 million to 7.5 million years ago), before migrating to Asia. Recent research has placed the last common ancestor of all existing populations as living in Asia 11 million years ago, which may lead to revision and refinement of existing ideas about cheetah evolution.

The now-extinct species include: Acinonyx pardinensis (Pliocene epoch), much larger than the modern cheetah and found in Europe, India, and China; Acinonyx intermedius (mid-Pleistocene period), found over the same range. The extinct genus Miracinonyx was extremely cheetah-like, but recent DNA analysis has shown that Miracinonyx inexpectatus, Miracinonyx studeri, and Miracinonyx trumani (early to late Pleistocene epoch), found in North America and called the "North American cheetah" are not true cheetahs, instead being close relatives to the cougar.

NAŠE LÁSKY: Radost dětem: "No milk today, my love is gone away.
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn.
No milk today, it seems a common sight,
But people passing by. Don't know the reason why.

How could they know just what this message means,
The end of all my hopes, the end of all my dreams,
How could they know, a palace there had been,
behind the door where my love reigned as queen.

No milk today, it wasn't always so,
The company was gay, we turn'd night into day.

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down.

No milk today, it wasn't always so,
The company was gay, we turn'd night into day.
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance."

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring bring bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hands
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance

So many times i´ve played around.

JINGLE BELLS
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on Bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I’d take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Jingle bells…

A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie
But quickly drove away

Jingle bells…

Now the ground is white
Go it while you’re young
Take the girls along
and sing this sleighing song
Just get a bobtailed bay
Two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! you‘ll take the lead

Jingle bells…

ZVOŇTE, ZVONKY
Uháníme po sněhu
v otevřených saních,
pádíme přes pláně
a celou cestu se smějeme.
Zvonky na koňském ohonu zvoní,
jak je nám hned lehko!
To se nám to dneska večer jede,
to se nám to prozpěvuje na těch
našich saních!

Zvoňte, zvonky, zvoňte, zvonky,
zvoňte celou cestu.
Joj, to se nám to dneska večer jede,
to se nám to prozpěvuje na těch
našich saních!

Den nebo dva zpátky
mě napadlo, že si vyjedu,
a za chvilku už po mém boku
seděla slečna Fanynka Jasná.
Jenže kůň byl vyzáblá herka,
neštěstí bylo jeho údělem,
zapletl se do návěje
a pak jsme se převrhli.

Zvoňte, zvonky…

Den nebo dva zpátky,
to vám musím říct,
šel jsem se projít sněhem
a spadl jsem na záda.
Vtom jel kolem chlap
v otevřených saních,
rozesmál se, že tam ležím
jak široký tak dlouhý,
ale pak radši rychle odjel.

Zvoňte, zvonky…

Všude kolem je bílo,
tak jděte, dokud jste mladí,
vezměte s sebou holky
a zpívejte si tuhle sáňkařskou
písničku.
Sežeňte si hnědáka s kupírovaným
ocasem,
co urazí 2 míle za 40 sekund,
zapřáhněte ho do otevřených saní
A prásk! Už to máte na háku!

Zvoňte, zvonky…

A Tribute to John Denver born Henry John Deutschendorf 1943-1997 Folk American Singer
a beautiful song Annies Song new-age version. John Denver (31 décembre 1943 12 octobre 1997), né Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr. , était un chanteur américain, également compositeur, musicien et acteur. Il est mort à l'âge de 53 ans près de la côte de Monterey en Californie en pilotant un avion Rutan modèle Long-EZ, un avion expérimental en fibre de verre.
Célèbre dans le chant et dans l'écriture de chanson, il connaît une carrière mineure en tant qu'acteur. Ses films les plus connus étant en 1977 Oh, God! avec George Burns. En 1994, Denver a écrit son autobiographie intitulée Take Me Home. Il se rend à Aspen dans le Colorado en 1970 suivant son premier succès solo avec la chanson Leaving on a Jet Plane (en partant sur un avion à réaction). Denver est connu non seulement pour ses capacités musicales mais également pour son travail humanitaire. Il a travaillé intensivement sur des projets humanitaires et a aidé à créer un refuge national en Alaska. Il a également fondé son propre groupe environnemental appelé Windstar Foundation. Denver a eu un intérêt vif pour la lutte contre la famine, et a visité l'Afrique pendant les années 80 cherchant à travailler également avec les chefs africains vers une solution.

Défiant toutes les étiquettes conventionnelles, John Denver a tenu un rôle singulier dans la musique américaine : un compositeur dont le travail immensément populaire s'est répandu avec une parenté profonde et en lien avec les gens. Ses chansons sont restées populaires dans le monde. Elles sont caractérisées par leurs mélodies douces, une guitare élégante et son interprétation soul du lyrique. Il est devenu un des quelques chanteurs occidentaux largement connus dans le monde non-européen comprenant l'Afrique, l'Inde et l'Asie du Sud-Est

This songs lift up our spirits when we are down... thanks for this beautiful piece of music. Reminds me of him... the late John Denver whose songs will forever live in our hearts. Till we meet again, somewhere in time.

Jennifer Larmore

Jennifer Larmore is an outstanding American mezzo-soprano who has parlayed operatic success in Europe into international stardom. Known for excelling in the coloratura roles of the Baroque and bel canto, she has also added Romantic and Contemporary repertoire. Since the beginning of her career, Jennifer Larmore has recorded widely for the Teldec, RCA, Harmonia Mundi, Deutsch Grammophon, Arabesque, Opera Rara, Bayer, Naive, Chandos, VAI and Cedille labels in over 70 CDs to date, which has earned her the distinction of being the most recorded mezzo of all time.

Originally from Atlanta, Larmore studied at the Westminster Choir College of Princeton, New Jersey and then privately with John Bullock and Regina Resnik. She made her professional debut in the l’Opera de Nice production of Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito in 1986. During the same period, Jennifer sang her first Rosina from the Barber of Seville in the Savary production of Strasbourg — appropriate, considering that Rosina has since become her signature role…one that she has performed more than 500 times! Her vocal talents, energetic acting and natural beauty quickly established her as an emerging star and during the next decade she performed dozens of leading roles with major European houses, including the prestigious theaters of Paris, Vienna, London, Edinburgh, Rome, Berlin, Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon, Brussels, Amsterdam, Geneva, Milan, Buenos Aires and Salzburg.

VIDEA: Sirenia - The Other Side

VIDEA: Sirenia - The Other Side: "There's a light and a darkened road
There's a night and a fading hope
There was a dream that once was mine
But now it seems it has passed with time

Sail away my little sister
Sail away to the other side Sail away my little sister
Sail away far into the night
Where times seems much better
Than this void called life

There's a voice inside my head There was a hope, now now long since dead
It's all a wonder, will I abide
I hear you calling from the other side"
