Coatbridge
Coatbridge is a town in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, about east of Glasgow city centre, set in the central Lowlands of Scotland. The town forms part of a conurbation with neighbouring Airdrie. The first settlement of the area stretches back to the Stone Age era. Foundations of the town can be traced back to the 12th century when a Royal Charter was granted to the Monks of Newbattle Abbey by Malcolm IV. Coatbridge, along with its neighbour Airdrie, forms the area known as the Monklands. It was during the last years of the 18th century that the area developed from a loose collection of hamlets into the town of Coatbridge. The town's development and growth has been intimately connected with the technological advances of the industrial revolution, and in particular with the hot blast process. Coatbridge was a major Scottish centre for iron works and coal mining during the 19th century and in this period Coatbridge was described as "the industrial heartland of Scotland" and the "Iron Burgh". Coatbridge also had a notorious reputation for air pollution and the worst excesses of industry. By the time of the 1920s however coal seams were exhausted and the iron industry in Coatbridge was in rapid terminal decline. After the Great Depression the Gartsherrie ironwork was the last remaining iron works in the town.

Weimar Republic
The Weimar Republic (, ) is the name given by historians to the parliamentary republic established in 1919 in Germany to replace the imperial form of government. It was named after Weimar, the city where the constitutional assembly took place. Its official name was Deutsches Reich (sometimes translated as German Empire, but Reich can also mean realm or federal level of government), however, and it was usually known in English simply as Germany. Following World War I, the republic emerged from the German Revolution in November 1918. In 1919, a national assembly convened in Weimar, where a new constitution for the German Reich was written, then adopted on 11 August of that same year. Germany's period of liberal democracy lapsed in the early 1930s, leading to the ascent of the NSDAP and Adolf Hitler in 1933. Although the constitution of 1919 was never officially repealed, the legal measures taken by the Nazi government in February and March 1933, commonly known as Gleichschaltung ("coordination") meant that the government could legislate contrary to the constitution. The constitution became irrelevant; thus, 1933 is usually seen as the end of the Weimar Republic and the beginning of Hitler's Third Reich.

Images of Oradea, Romania, in 1919. This movie is about the beauty of a city, to which contributed through the centuries many nations that together lived here, cherished peace, and made a sacrifice of creation: Romanians, Hungarians, Rromas, Italians, Jews, Germans, and many more. No need for xenophobic discussions and comments that lead nowhere. I will delete all kinds of nationalist comments. The music is the beautiful Etude Op. 10, No. 3 in E flat major 'Tristesse' by Frederic Chopin, highly regarded as a quality manifestation of Chopin's love for Romantic Opera and Poland, where he was born. During a lesson with his pupil Adolf Gutmann, the latter began weeping and cried, "Oh, my homeland!". Chopin was said to have also noted this piece as the most intimate piece he has ever composed, stating that "In all my life I have never again been able to find such a beautiful melody."

www.yerbabuenastompers.com http The song title is ~ "Somebody please tell me NOW!" Well, Jon-Erik Kellso volunteered the info below - - Hi -- The title of this is "1919 Rag." The original title was "Rifle Ranger's March." This from John Gill himself--I had to ask--I did not remember, either, so don't feel bad! Cheers, Jon-Erik Kellso I recorded several tunes performed by this great bandduring The 15TH ANNUAL GLACIER JAZZ STAMPEDE in 2008. The festival always happens in early October. The Yerba Buena Stompers are among the most popular bands on the dixieland/trad jazz circuit today, and I just can't get enough of their wonderful music. John Gill says, "There's a lot of great I recorded out there...but we think that Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Kid Ory, Scott Joplin, Lu Watters, and Turk Murphy had somethin' special. Our versatile musicians got together to recreate and celebrate these wonderful and historically significant jazz musicians." Band Members: Hal Smith ~ Drums Leon Oakley ~ Trumpet Jon-Erik Kellso ~ Trumpet Clint Baker ~ Tuba Orange Kellin ~ Clarinet Tom Bartlett ~ Trombone Marty Eggers ~ Piano John Gill ~ Banjo/Leader Check out the websites above for more information and CD's. I hope you can be there in 2009! _2008 10/08

24 year old, 6'1", 180 lb challenger Dempsey vs 37 year old, 6'6½", 245 lb Heavyweight Champion Willard. July 4th, 1919, Toledo, Ohio. Round 1. Worst beating a champion ever took. Injuries: caved-in cheekbone, broken jaw, teeth knocked out, broken nose, broken ribs, lost hearing in 1 ear, eyes swollen shut, multiple contusions, cuts, and abrasions. Dempsey had scored 42 KO's prior to stopping Big Jess. Some feared for Dempsey's life as one of Willard's previous opponents, Bull Young, had died from injuries inflicted by Big Jess. Willard lasted through Rds 2 and 3, but couldn't continue after the third round. Fought in 110 degrees Fahrenheit, 43 degrees Celsius, earning nickname "Massacre in the Sun." Dempsey listed at 187½ lbs for Willard fight, but was actually 180. Fought at 192 lbs against Firpo a few years later. Average man stood 5'7" in 1919. 6'6½", 245 lb in 1919 truly was a Giant. Dempsey became more famous in the 1920's than baseball idol, Babe Ruth.

During the Cannes Film Festival, it is the most prestigious place to stay and the undisputed headquarters of motion picture industry deal-making. Part of the InterContinental Hotels Group, the Carlton is famous for hosting movie stars from around the world during the annual Film Festival. The hotel was also featured in Elton John's well-known 1983 music video for the single, "I'm Still Standing", and the exterior and interior features in New Order's 1993 music video for the single, "World (The Price of Love)". More famously, the hotel was a central location for the Alfred Hitchcock film To Catch a Thief starring Grace Kelly and Cary Grant.
