Janet Jackson
#1 spot on the R&B charts. Two additional tracks were released to radio, one, "Go Deep" becoming a favourite. The Velvet Rope also saw Jackson toy with her sexy image. In particular, a cover of Rod Stewart's "Tonight's The Night" seemed to be addressed to a female love interest. Additionally the album had some fairly blatant sexual material. Photographs inside showed Jackson tied up in bondage ropes on a bed. Close ups of her nipples (with a piercing through them) were featured. There was also a non-musical interlude track featuring Jackson (possibly simulating) having phone sex with a female. Other lyrics

James III of Scotland
'Norwegian annual' fee owed to Denmark for the Western Isles, and receiving Orkney and Shetland (theoretically only as a temporary measure to cover Margaret's dowry). Thus Scotland in 1470 reached its greatest ever territorial extent, when James permanently annexed the islands to the crown. James married Margaret in July, 1469 at Holyrood Abbey, Edinburgh. The marriage produced three sons, James, the future James IV of Scotland, James duke of Ross, and John, earl of Mar. Conflict broke out between James and the Boyd family following the marriage. Robert and Thomas Boyd (with princess Mary) were out of the country involved in

James Scullin
was defeated in the House of Representatives. In the subsequent elections Scullin campaigned as the defender of the industrial arbitration system and won a landslide victory. The conservatives, however, retained control of the Senate. Shortly after Scullin took office, the Wall St Crash inaugurated the Great Depression. The Depression hit Australia hard in 1930, with the collapse in export markets for Australia's agricultural products and causing mass unemployment. The Scullin government, guided by orthodox economic advice, was unable to cope, and the Labor Party was rent by internal conflict over how to respond. Matters were made worse by Scullin's decision to

James the Just
the Just James the Just (died AD 62) was the first bishop or patriarch of Jerusalem. He was called "the Just" because of his asceticism. Eusebius of Caesarea records passages from Hegesippus that describe his death, whose account is verified by Josephus and Clement. According to these sources, the Pharisees, upset at his teachings, threw him from a tower, then stoned him to death. Josephus adds that this occurred while Albinus was procurator of Palestine, dating this to AD 62. Vespasian's siege and capture of Jerusalem delayed the selection of Symeon, son of Clopas, to succeed him. He is most likely

It also contains several details that have been taken to apply to Jesus' crucifixion, such as the soldiers casting lots for Jesus' garments and leaving his bones unbroken. The Gospel of John, on the other hand, has Jesus in total control from the cross, saying "It is finished" upon his death, and instead of asking the "bitter cup" to be taken away from him while praying in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before, he actually asks for it in John's account.

All three songs used sampling and synthesisers to combine pop music from the early rock and roll era together into a medley. The results were somewhat like the earlier Stars on 45, who actually hired "sound-alike" singers and musicians to recreate the music from scratch Each song used a sampled instrumental theme to join the songs together.

The various portraitists who drew or painted Haydn during his lifetime each took a different path in attempting to portray the attractive personality instead of the ugly face; hence no two surviving portraits of Haydn are alike. Works Haydn is traditionally considered the father of the symphony and string quartet, and he did write the first well-known works in those genres. Besides the symphony and string quartet, Haydn also pioneered the development of sonata form, and was innovative in his writing of keyboard sonatas and of piano

Wedgwood's work was of very high quality, and by 1763 he was receiving orders from the highest levels of the British nobility, including Queen Charlotte. Wedgwood convinced her to let him name the line of pottery she purchased "Queen's Ware", and trumpeted the royal association in his paperwork and stationery. As a burgeoning industrialist, Wedgwood was a major backer of the Trent and Mersey Canal dug between the River Trent and River

The map was first found in 1958 and was donated to its current owner Yale University in 1965; it is valued at around $18
