the united states house of representatives is the lower chamber of the united states congress, with the senate being the upper chamber.together, they comprise the national bicameral legislature of the united states.the house's composition was established by article one of the united states constitution.the house is composed of representatives who, pursuant to the uniform congressional district act, sit in single member congressional districts allocated to each state on the basis of population as measured by the united states census, with each district having one representative, provided that each state is entitled to at least one.since its inception in 1789, all representatives have been directly elected, although universal suffrage did not come to effect until after the passage of the 19th amendment and the civil rights movement.since 1913, the number of voting representatives has been at 435 pursuant to the apportionment act of 1911.the reapportionment act of 1929 capped the size of the house at 435.however, the number was temporarily increased in 1959 until 1963 to 437 when alaska and hawaii were admitted to the union.in addition, five non-voting delegates represent the district of columbia and the u.s. territories of guam, the u.s. virgin islands, the commonwealth of the northern mariana islands, and american samoa.a non-voting resident commissioner, serving a four-year term, represents the commonwealth of puerto rico.as of the 2020 census, the largest delegation was california, with 52 representatives.six states have only one representative: alaska, delaware, north dakota, south dakota, vermont, and wyoming.the house is charged with the passage of federal legislation, known as bills; those that are also passed by the senate are sent to the president for consideration.the house also has exclusive powers: it initiates all revenue bills, impeaches federal officers, and elects the president if no candidate receives a majority of votes in the electoral college.the house meets in the south wing of the united states capitol.the presiding officer is the speaker of the house, who is elected by the members thereof.other floor leaders are chosen by the democratic caucus or the republican conference, depending on whichever party has more voting members.after eight years of a more limited confederal government under the articles, numerous political leaders such as james madison and alexander hamilton initiated the constitutional convention in 1787, which received the confederation congress's sanction to 'amend the articles of confederation'.all states except rhode island agreed to send delegates.congress's structure was a contentious issue among the founders during the convention.edmund randolph's virginia plan called for a bicameral congress: the lower house would be 'of the people', elected directly by the people of the united states and representing public opinion, and a more deliberative upper house, elected by the lower house, that would represent the individual states, and would be less susceptible to variations of mass sentiment.the house is commonly referred to as the lower house and the senate the upper house, although the united states constitution does not use that terminology.both houses' approval is necessary for the passage of legislation.the virginia plan drew the support of delegates from large states such as virginia, massachusetts, and pennsylvania, as it called for representation based on population.the smaller states, however, favored the new jersey plan, which called for a unicameral congress with equal representation for the states.eventually, the convention reached the connecticut compromise or great compromise, under which one house of congress (the house of representatives) would provide representation proportional to each state's population, whereas the other (the senate) would provide equal representation amongst the states.the constitution was ratified by the requisite number of states (nine out of the 13) in 1788, but its implementation was set for march 4, 1789.

the united states house of representatives is the lower chamber of the united states congress, with the senate being the upper chamber.together, they comprise the national bicameral legislature of the united states.the house's composition was established by article one of the united states constitution.the house is composed of representatives who, pursuant to the uniform congressional district act, sit in single member congressional districts allocated to each state on the basis of population as measured by the united states census, with each district having one representative, provided that each state is entitled to at least one.since its inception in 1789, all representatives have been directly elected, although universal suffrage did not come to effect until after the passage of the 19th amendment and the civil rights movement.since 1913, the number of voting representatives has been at 435 pursuant to the apportionment act of 1911.the reapportionment act of 1929 capped the size of the house at 435.however, the number was temporarily increased in 1959 until 1963 to 437 when alaska and hawaii were admitted to the union.in addition, five non-voting delegates represent the district of columbia and the u.s. territories of guam, the u.s. virgin islands, the commonwealth of the northern mariana islands, and american samoa.a non-voting resident commissioner, serving a four-year term, represents the commonwealth of puerto rico.as of the 2020 census, the largest delegation was california, with 52 representatives.six states have only one representative: alaska, delaware, north dakota, south dakota, vermont, and wyoming.the house is charged with the passage of federal legislation, known as bills; those that are also passed by the senate are sent to the president for consideration.the house also has exclusive powers: it initiates all revenue bills, impeaches federal officers, and elects the president if no candidate receives a majority of votes in the electoral college.the house meets in the south wing of the united states capitol.the presiding officer is the speaker of the house, who is elected by the members thereof.other floor leaders are chosen by the democratic caucus or the republican conference, depending on whichever party has more voting members.after eight years of a more limited confederal government under the articles, numerous political leaders such as james madison and alexander hamilton initiated the constitutional convention in 1787, which received the confederation congress's sanction to 'amend the articles of confederation'.all states except rhode island agreed to send delegates.congress's structure was a contentious issue among the founders during the convention.edmund randolph's virginia plan called for a bicameral congress: the lower house would be 'of the people', elected directly by the people of the united states and representing public opinion, and a more deliberative upper house, elected by the lower house, that would represent the individual states, and would be less susceptible to variations of mass sentiment.the house is commonly referred to as the lower house and the senate the upper house, although the united states constitution does not use that terminology.both houses' approval is necessary for the passage of legislation.the virginia plan drew the support of delegates from large states such as virginia, massachusetts, and pennsylvania, as it called for representation based on population.the smaller states, however, favored the new jersey plan, which called for a unicameral congress with equal representation for the states.eventually, the convention reached the connecticut compromise or great compromise, under which one house of congress (the house of representatives) would provide representation proportional to each state's population, whereas the other (the senate) would provide equal representation amongst the states.the constitution was ratified by the requisite number of states (nine out of the 13) in 1788, but its implementation was set for march 4, 1789.

dead man's plack is a grade-ii listed 19th-century monument to æthelwald, ealdorman of east anglia, who, according to legend, was killed in 963 near the site where it stands by his rival in love, king edgar i.the name is more probably derived from a corruption of 'dudman's platt', from dudman — who is recorded as a resident in 1735 — and platt, meaning a plot of land.the monument was erected in 1825 at harewood forest, between the villages of picket twenty and longparish, hampshire, by lt. col. william iremonger.on its south side an inscription in gothic script reads: about the year of our lord dcccclxiii upon this spot beyond the time of memory called deadman’s plack, tradition reports that edgar, surnamed the peaceable, king of england, in the ardour of youth love and indignation, slew with his own hand his treacherous and ungrateful favourite, owner of this forest of harewood, in resentment of the earl’s having basely betrayed and perfidiously married his intended bride and beauteous elfrida, daughter of ordgar, earl of devonshire, afterwards wife of king edgar, and by him mother of king ethelred ii.queen elfrida, after edgar’s death, murdered his eldest son, king edward the martyr, and founded the nunnery of wor-well.an inscription on the north side of the plinth reads: 'this monument was erected by col william iremonger ad mdcccxxv'.on meeting her, æthelwald was 'smitten with her beauty' and married her himself.æthelwald then returned to the king and told him that she was 'a girl of vulgar and common place appearance, and by no means worthy' of the king's hand, while concealing his own marriage to her.discovering the deception through court gossip, edgar swore vengeance and arranged a hunt in the harewood forest to which he invited æthelwald.during the hunt, edgar murdered æthelwald with a javelin, and subsequently took ælfthryth as his wife and queen.william's account was later repeated by david hume (1711–1776), a scottish historian, philosopher, economist, diplomat and essayist, in his 6-volume work the history of england, published between 1754–1761.thomas babington macaulay (1800–1859), in his preface to lays of ancient rome (1842), says the story has 'a most suspicious air of romance' and 'greatly resembles' some of the legends of early rome.macaulay writes: 'when we turn to william of malmesbury, we find that hume, in his eagerness to relate these pleasant fables, has overlooked one very important circumstance.william does indeed tell both the stories; but he gives us distinct notice that he does not warrant their truth, and that they rest on no better authority than that of ballads.'edward augustus freeman (1823–1892) debunks the story as a 'tissue of romance' in his 1875 historic essays and writes: 'the process by which legend gets transmuted into apparent history could not have been better described than it is by lord macaulay.'freeman also refers to another contemporary chronicler, geoffrey gaimar, whose l'estoire des engleis ('history of the english people'; 1136–1140) describes æthelwald's death at the hands of unidentified armed men in wherwell forest (harewood forest).elizabeth norton, a historian specialising in the queens of england, concludes that 'the evidence certainly does not suggest that [æthelwald] was murdered' and that the story related by william of malmesbury is 'a later elaboration' of the reason behind ælfthryth's foundation of nearby wherwell abbey, 'which was popularly considered to have been carried out as an act of atonement.'dudman is recorded as a resident in 1735 and 'platt' referred to a 'plot of land'.spaul explains: 'the legend of edgar and ælfthryth as fabricated by romantic poets in the 12th century and related by william of malmesbury, gave an excuse for colonel iremonger, a 19th-century antiquarian, to erect a monument in his part of harewood forest.

verein für leibesübungen wolfsburg e. v., commonly known as vfl wolfsburg (pronounced [ˌfaʊ ʔɛf ʔɛl ˈvɔlfsbʊɐ̯k]) or wolfsburg, is a german professional sports club based in wolfsburg, lower saxony.the club grew out of a multi-sports club for volkswagen workers in the city of wolfsburg.it is best known for its football department, but other departments include badminton, handball and athletics.the men's professional football team play in the bundesliga, the top tier of the german football league system.wolfsburg have won the bundesliga once in their history, in the 2008–09 season, the dfb-pokal in 2015 and the dfl-supercup in 2015.professional football is run by the spin-off organization vfl wolfsburg-fußball gmbh, a wholly owned subsidiary of the volkswagen group.since 2002, wolfsburg's stadium is the volkswagen arena.the first football club affiliated with the autoworks was known as bsg volkswagenwerk stadt des kdf-wagen, a works team.this team played in the first division gauliga osthannover in the 1943–44 and 1944–45 seasons.on 12 september 1945, in the aftermath of world war ii, a new club was formed and was known briefly as vsk wolfsburg.this side began play in the green and white still worn by vfl today; local youth trainer bernd elberskirch had ten green jerseys at his disposal and white bed sheets donated by the public were sewn together by local women to make shorts.on 15 december 1945, the club went through a crisis that almost ended its existence when all but one of its players left to join 1.fc wolfsburg.the only player remaining, josef meyer, worked with willi hilbert to rebuild the side by signing new players.the new group adopted the moniker vfl wolfsburg, vfl standing for verein für leibesübungen.this can be translated as 'club for gymnastics' or 'club for exercises.'within a year they captured the local gifhorn title.in late november 1946, the club played a friendly against longtime gelsenkirchen powerhouse schalke 04 at the stadium owned by volkswagen, emerging as the successor to bsg as the company sponsored side.they captured a number of amateur level championships, but were unable to advance out of the promotion playoffs until finally breaking through to the top tier oberliga nord in 1954 with a 2–1 victory over heider sv.wolfsburg, however, struggled in the top flight, narrowly missing relegation each season until finally being sent down in 1959.when germany's first professional football league, the bundesliga, was formed in 1963, wolfsburg was playing in the regionalliga nord (ii) having just moved up from the verbandsliga niedersachsen (iii), reaching the german amateur championship final that same year (0–1 vs. vfb stuttgart amat.).that finish earned the club entry to the promotion round playoffs for the bundesliga, where they performed poorly and were unable to advance.from the mid-1970s through to the early 1990s, die wölfe played as a third division side in the amateur oberliga nord.consecutive first-place finishes in 1991 and 1992, followed by success in the promotion playoffs, saw the club advance to the 2.bundesliga for the 1992–93 season.wolfsburg continued to enjoy some success through the 1990s.the team advanced to the final of the german cup in 1995 where they were beaten 0–3 by borussia mönchengladbach, but then went on to the top flight on the strength of a second-place league finish in 1997.early predictions were that the club would immediately be sent back down, but instead, the wolves developed into a mid-table bundesliga side.in the 1998–99 season, wolfsburg, under wolfgang wolf, were holding onto the fifth spot in the 33rd round of fixtures, and they had hopes of making fourth place, to gain uefa champions league participation.

the asterisk ( *), from late latin asteriscus, from ancient greek ἀστερίσκος, asteriskos, 'little star', is a typographical symbol.it is so called because it resembles a conventional image of a heraldic star.computer scientists and mathematicians often vocalize it as star (as, for example, in the a* search algorithm or c*-algebra).in english, an asterisk is usually five- or six-pointed in sans-serif typefaces, six-pointed in serif typefaces, and six- or eight-pointed when handwritten.its most common use is to call out a footnote.it is also often used to censor offensive words.in computer science, the asterisk is commonly used as a wildcard character, or to denote pointers, repetition, or multiplication.there is also a two-thousand-year-old character used by aristarchus of samothrace called the asteriskos, ※, which he used when proofreading homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated.origen is known to have also used the asteriskos to mark missing hebrew lines from his hexapla.the asterisk evolved in shape over time, but its meaning as a symbol used to correct defects remained.in the middle ages, the asterisk was used to emphasize a particular part of text, often linking those parts of the text to a marginal comment.however, an asterisk was not always used.one hypothesis to the origin of the asterisk is that it stems from the 5000-year-old sumerian character dingir, 𒀭, though this hypothesis seems to only be based on visual appearance.for example, the word 'badword' might become 'ba***rd', 'b*****d', 'b******' or even '*******'.vowels tend to be censored with an asterisk more than consonants, but the intelligibility of censored profanities with multiple syllables such as 'b*dw*rd' and 'b*****d' or 'ba****d', or uncommon ones is higher if put in context with surrounding text.when a document containing classified information is published, the document may be 'sanitized' (redacted) by replacing the classified information with asterisks.for example, the intelligence and security committee russia report.this is because results that have been considered dubious or set aside are recorded in the record books with an asterisk rendering to a footnote explaining the reason or reasons for concern.ruth had amassed 60 home runs in a season with only 154 games, but maris was playing the first season in the american league's newly expanded 162-game season.baseball commissioner ford frick, a friend of ruth's during the legendary slugger's lifetime, held a press conference to announce his 'ruling' that should maris take longer than 154 games both records would be acknowledged by major league baseball, but that some 'distinctive mark' [his term] be placed next to maris', which should be listed alongside ruth's achievement in the 'record books'.the asterisk as such a mark was suggested at that time by new york daily news sportswriter dick young, not frick.the reality, however, was that mlb actually had no direct control over any record books until many years later, and it all was merely a suggestion on frick's part.within a few years the controversy died down and all prominent baseball record keepers listed maris as the single-season record holder.nevertheless, the stigma of holding a tainted record remained with maris for many years, and the concept of a real or figurative asterisk denoting less-than-accepted 'official' records has become widely used in sports and other competitive endeavors.a 2001 tv movie about maris's record-breaking season was called 61* (pronounced sixty-one asterisk) in reference to the controversy.uproar over the integrity of baseball records and whether or not qualifications should be added to them arose again in the late 1990s, when a steroid-fueled power explosion led to the shattering of maris' record.

dead man's plack is a grade-ii listed 19th-century monument to æthelwald, ealdorman of east anglia, who, according to legend, was killed in 963 near the site where it stands by his rival in love, king edgar i.the name is more probably derived from a corruption of 'dudman's platt', from dudman — who is recorded as a resident in 1735 — and platt, meaning a plot of land.the monument was erected in 1825 at harewood forest, between the villages of picket twenty and longparish, hampshire, by lt. col. william iremonger.on its south side an inscription in gothic script reads: about the year of our lord dcccclxiii upon this spot beyond the time of memory called deadman’s plack, tradition reports that edgar, surnamed the peaceable, king of england, in the ardour of youth love and indignation, slew with his own hand his treacherous and ungrateful favourite, owner of this forest of harewood, in resentment of the earl’s having basely betrayed and perfidiously married his intended bride and beauteous elfrida, daughter of ordgar, earl of devonshire, afterwards wife of king edgar, and by him mother of king ethelred ii.queen elfrida, after edgar’s death, murdered his eldest son, king edward the martyr, and founded the nunnery of wor-well.an inscription on the north side of the plinth reads: 'this monument was erected by col william iremonger ad mdcccxxv'.on meeting her, æthelwald was 'smitten with her beauty' and married her himself.æthelwald then returned to the king and told him that she was 'a girl of vulgar and common place appearance, and by no means worthy' of the king's hand, while concealing his own marriage to her.discovering the deception through court gossip, edgar swore vengeance and arranged a hunt in the harewood forest to which he invited æthelwald.during the hunt, edgar murdered æthelwald with a javelin, and subsequently took ælfthryth as his wife and queen.william's account was later repeated by david hume (1711–1776), a scottish historian, philosopher, economist, diplomat and essayist, in his 6-volume work the history of england, published between 1754–1761.thomas babington macaulay (1800–1859), in his preface to lays of ancient rome (1842), says the story has 'a most suspicious air of romance' and 'greatly resembles' some of the legends of early rome.macaulay writes: 'when we turn to william of malmesbury, we find that hume, in his eagerness to relate these pleasant fables, has overlooked one very important circumstance.william does indeed tell both the stories; but he gives us distinct notice that he does not warrant their truth, and that they rest on no better authority than that of ballads.'edward augustus freeman (1823–1892) debunks the story as a 'tissue of romance' in his 1875 historic essays and writes: 'the process by which legend gets transmuted into apparent history could not have been better described than it is by lord macaulay.'freeman also refers to another contemporary chronicler, geoffrey gaimar, whose l'estoire des engleis ('history of the english people'; 1136–1140) describes æthelwald's death at the hands of unidentified armed men in wherwell forest (harewood forest).elizabeth norton, a historian specialising in the queens of england, concludes that 'the evidence certainly does not suggest that [æthelwald] was murdered' and that the story related by william of malmesbury is 'a later elaboration' of the reason behind ælfthryth's foundation of nearby wherwell abbey, 'which was popularly considered to have been carried out as an act of atonement.'dudman is recorded as a resident in 1735 and 'platt' referred to a 'plot of land'.spaul explains: 'the legend of edgar and ælfthryth as fabricated by romantic poets in the 12th century and related by william of malmesbury, gave an excuse for colonel iremonger, a 19th-century antiquarian, to erect a monument in his part of harewood forest.

103 colmore row is a 108-metre tall, 26-storey commercial office skyscraper located on colmore row, birmingham, england.completed in 2021, this building replaced the former natwest tower designed by john madin and completed in 1975.in 2008, a plan by then owners british land to demolish natwest tower and replace it with a taller modern equivalent was approved.this plan never progressed and in 2015 the building passed to the developer sterling property ventures, who successfully applied to have the building demolished.construction of the new tower began in june 2019 and completed in 2021.103 colmore row is the tallest office building in the united kingdom outside london to be constructed since the completion of alpha tower, also in birmingham, in 1973.designed by john madin, it is of the brutalist style, contrasting the traditional victorian architectural styles in the immediate area.although, the pre-cast concrete panels on the exterior, which were common on commercial buildings of the time, rather than in-situ concrete did make the building differ from classic brutalism.designs for the building were first publicised in 1964 and it was remarked that it had drawn inspiration from the university of pittsburgh by louis kahn.the designs showed a two-storey banking hall with a rectangular tower with horizontal ribbon windows.it also showed a service tower facing on to newhall street.this design differed significantly to the one that was approved by birmingham city council.the scheme also included a five-storey office block to the west of the site that was separated from it by an l-shaped courtyard.this office block was later reclad and increased to eight storeys in 1996-7 so that it reads as a separate building.the entire scheme was named the 'colmore centre'.the first phase of the scheme, which consisted of the construction of the banking hall, was completed in 1969.construction of the tower began in 1973 and was completed three years later at a total cost of £3.5 million.the building was constructed so that it was not solely occupied by the national westminster bank, but could also be let to tenants so that the bank could maximise the profitability of the site.however, the building proved difficult to let and was never fully occupied; the only major corporation to take office space in the tower was eversheds.the building has been vacant since 2003.there were numerous interesting features, including the original aluminium-cast banking hall doors, created and made by henry haig (1930 – 6 december 2007), who was an english abstract artist, painter and sculptor but notable predominantly for his stained glass work, which consisted of an abstract triangle design based on the natwest logo and were painted to resemble bronze.the banking hall itself had a coffered ceiling of plasterboard covered in gold leaf and travertine marble floors and skirtings.the exterior was covered in abstract plaster murals and bronze matt ceramic tiles.the lift shaft and two ventilation towers were constructed using brick.the structure was constructed of precast concrete with waffle concrete floor slabs.there were four plant floors at the top of the tower and 100 car park spaces in a basement car park that became disused upon the discovery of asbestos.the office block was accessed via a stainless steel surround doorway on newhall street, where the land began to drop, exposing the ventilation grills for the basement.the entrance here appeared to be of a later date to the rest of the building.the office block had a service core at the centre of each floor, consisting of a large service duct, lavatories, four lift shafts and staircase.

the asterisk ( *), from late latin asteriscus, from ancient greek ἀστερίσκος, asteriskos, 'little star', is a typographical symbol.it is so called because it resembles a conventional image of a heraldic star.computer scientists and mathematicians often vocalize it as star (as, for example, in the a* search algorithm or c*-algebra).in english, an asterisk is usually five- or six-pointed in sans-serif typefaces, six-pointed in serif typefaces, and six- or eight-pointed when handwritten.its most common use is to call out a footnote.it is also often used to censor offensive words.in computer science, the asterisk is commonly used as a wildcard character, or to denote pointers, repetition, or multiplication.there is also a two-thousand-year-old character used by aristarchus of samothrace called the asteriskos, ※, which he used when proofreading homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated.origen is known to have also used the asteriskos to mark missing hebrew lines from his hexapla.the asterisk evolved in shape over time, but its meaning as a symbol used to correct defects remained.in the middle ages, the asterisk was used to emphasize a particular part of text, often linking those parts of the text to a marginal comment.however, an asterisk was not always used.one hypothesis to the origin of the asterisk is that it stems from the 5000-year-old sumerian character dingir, 𒀭, though this hypothesis seems to only be based on visual appearance.for example, the word 'badword' might become 'ba***rd', 'b*****d', 'b******' or even '*******'.vowels tend to be censored with an asterisk more than consonants, but the intelligibility of censored profanities with multiple syllables such as 'b*dw*rd' and 'b*****d' or 'ba****d', or uncommon ones is higher if put in context with surrounding text.when a document containing classified information is published, the document may be 'sanitized' (redacted) by replacing the classified information with asterisks.for example, the intelligence and security committee russia report.this is because results that have been considered dubious or set aside are recorded in the record books with an asterisk rendering to a footnote explaining the reason or reasons for concern.ruth had amassed 60 home runs in a season with only 154 games, but maris was playing the first season in the american league's newly expanded 162-game season.baseball commissioner ford frick, a friend of ruth's during the legendary slugger's lifetime, held a press conference to announce his 'ruling' that should maris take longer than 154 games both records would be acknowledged by major league baseball, but that some 'distinctive mark' [his term] be placed next to maris', which should be listed alongside ruth's achievement in the 'record books'.the asterisk as such a mark was suggested at that time by new york daily news sportswriter dick young, not frick.the reality, however, was that mlb actually had no direct control over any record books until many years later, and it all was merely a suggestion on frick's part.within a few years the controversy died down and all prominent baseball record keepers listed maris as the single-season record holder.nevertheless, the stigma of holding a tainted record remained with maris for many years, and the concept of a real or figurative asterisk denoting less-than-accepted 'official' records has become widely used in sports and other competitive endeavors.a 2001 tv movie about maris's record-breaking season was called 61* (pronounced sixty-one asterisk) in reference to the controversy.uproar over the integrity of baseball records and whether or not qualifications should be added to them arose again in the late 1990s, when a steroid-fueled power explosion led to the shattering of maris' record.

dead man's plack is a grade-ii listed 19th-century monument to æthelwald, ealdorman of east anglia, who, according to legend, was killed in 963 near the site where it stands by his rival in love, king edgar i.the name is more probably derived from a corruption of 'dudman's platt', from dudman — who is recorded as a resident in 1735 — and platt, meaning a plot of land.the monument was erected in 1825 at harewood forest, between the villages of picket twenty and longparish, hampshire, by lt. col. william iremonger.on its south side an inscription in gothic script reads: about the year of our lord dcccclxiii upon this spot beyond the time of memory called deadman’s plack, tradition reports that edgar, surnamed the peaceable, king of england, in the ardour of youth love and indignation, slew with his own hand his treacherous and ungrateful favourite, owner of this forest of harewood, in resentment of the earl’s having basely betrayed and perfidiously married his intended bride and beauteous elfrida, daughter of ordgar, earl of devonshire, afterwards wife of king edgar, and by him mother of king ethelred ii.queen elfrida, after edgar’s death, murdered his eldest son, king edward the martyr, and founded the nunnery of wor-well.an inscription on the north side of the plinth reads: 'this monument was erected by col william iremonger ad mdcccxxv'.on meeting her, æthelwald was 'smitten with her beauty' and married her himself.æthelwald then returned to the king and told him that she was 'a girl of vulgar and common place appearance, and by no means worthy' of the king's hand, while concealing his own marriage to her.discovering the deception through court gossip, edgar swore vengeance and arranged a hunt in the harewood forest to which he invited æthelwald.during the hunt, edgar murdered æthelwald with a javelin, and subsequently took ælfthryth as his wife and queen.william's account was later repeated by david hume (1711–1776), a scottish historian, philosopher, economist, diplomat and essayist, in his 6-volume work the history of england, published between 1754–1761.thomas babington macaulay (1800–1859), in his preface to lays of ancient rome (1842), says the story has 'a most suspicious air of romance' and 'greatly resembles' some of the legends of early rome.macaulay writes: 'when we turn to william of malmesbury, we find that hume, in his eagerness to relate these pleasant fables, has overlooked one very important circumstance.william does indeed tell both the stories; but he gives us distinct notice that he does not warrant their truth, and that they rest on no better authority than that of ballads.'edward augustus freeman (1823–1892) debunks the story as a 'tissue of romance' in his 1875 historic essays and writes: 'the process by which legend gets transmuted into apparent history could not have been better described than it is by lord macaulay.'freeman also refers to another contemporary chronicler, geoffrey gaimar, whose l'estoire des engleis ('history of the english people'; 1136–1140) describes æthelwald's death at the hands of unidentified armed men in wherwell forest (harewood forest).elizabeth norton, a historian specialising in the queens of england, concludes that 'the evidence certainly does not suggest that [æthelwald] was murdered' and that the story related by william of malmesbury is 'a later elaboration' of the reason behind ælfthryth's foundation of nearby wherwell abbey, 'which was popularly considered to have been carried out as an act of atonement.'dudman is recorded as a resident in 1735 and 'platt' referred to a 'plot of land'.spaul explains: 'the legend of edgar and ælfthryth as fabricated by romantic poets in the 12th century and related by william of malmesbury, gave an excuse for colonel iremonger, a 19th-century antiquarian, to erect a monument in his part of harewood forest.

the asterisk ( *), from late latin asteriscus, from ancient greek ἀστερίσκος, asteriskos, 'little star', is a typographical symbol.it is so called because it resembles a conventional image of a heraldic star.computer scientists and mathematicians often vocalize it as star (as, for example, in the a* search algorithm or c*-algebra).in english, an asterisk is usually five- or six-pointed in sans-serif typefaces, six-pointed in serif typefaces, and six- or eight-pointed when handwritten.its most common use is to call out a footnote.it is also often used to censor offensive words.in computer science, the asterisk is commonly used as a wildcard character, or to denote pointers, repetition, or multiplication.there is also a two-thousand-year-old character used by aristarchus of samothrace called the asteriskos, ※, which he used when proofreading homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated.origen is known to have also used the asteriskos to mark missing hebrew lines from his hexapla.the asterisk evolved in shape over time, but its meaning as a symbol used to correct defects remained.in the middle ages, the asterisk was used to emphasize a particular part of text, often linking those parts of the text to a marginal comment.however, an asterisk was not always used.one hypothesis to the origin of the asterisk is that it stems from the 5000-year-old sumerian character dingir, 𒀭, though this hypothesis seems to only be based on visual appearance.for example, the word 'badword' might become 'ba***rd', 'b*****d', 'b******' or even '*******'.vowels tend to be censored with an asterisk more than consonants, but the intelligibility of censored profanities with multiple syllables such as 'b*dw*rd' and 'b*****d' or 'ba****d', or uncommon ones is higher if put in context with surrounding text.when a document containing classified information is published, the document may be 'sanitized' (redacted) by replacing the classified information with asterisks.for example, the intelligence and security committee russia report.this is because results that have been considered dubious or set aside are recorded in the record books with an asterisk rendering to a footnote explaining the reason or reasons for concern.ruth had amassed 60 home runs in a season with only 154 games, but maris was playing the first season in the american league's newly expanded 162-game season.baseball commissioner ford frick, a friend of ruth's during the legendary slugger's lifetime, held a press conference to announce his 'ruling' that should maris take longer than 154 games both records would be acknowledged by major league baseball, but that some 'distinctive mark' [his term] be placed next to maris', which should be listed alongside ruth's achievement in the 'record books'.the asterisk as such a mark was suggested at that time by new york daily news sportswriter dick young, not frick.the reality, however, was that mlb actually had no direct control over any record books until many years later, and it all was merely a suggestion on frick's part.within a few years the controversy died down and all prominent baseball record keepers listed maris as the single-season record holder.nevertheless, the stigma of holding a tainted record remained with maris for many years, and the concept of a real or figurative asterisk denoting less-than-accepted 'official' records has become widely used in sports and other competitive endeavors.a 2001 tv movie about maris's record-breaking season was called 61* (pronounced sixty-one asterisk) in reference to the controversy.uproar over the integrity of baseball records and whether or not qualifications should be added to them arose again in the late 1990s, when a steroid-fueled power explosion led to the shattering of maris' record.

the asterisk ( *), from late latin asteriscus, from ancient greek ἀστερίσκος, asteriskos, 'little star', is a typographical symbol.it is so called because it resembles a conventional image of a heraldic star.computer scientists and mathematicians often vocalize it as star (as, for example, in the a* search algorithm or c*-algebra).in english, an asterisk is usually five- or six-pointed in sans-serif typefaces, six-pointed in serif typefaces, and six- or eight-pointed when handwritten.its most common use is to call out a footnote.it is also often used to censor offensive words.in computer science, the asterisk is commonly used as a wildcard character, or to denote pointers, repetition, or multiplication.there is also a two-thousand-year-old character used by aristarchus of samothrace called the asteriskos, ※, which he used when proofreading homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated.origen is known to have also used the asteriskos to mark missing hebrew lines from his hexapla.the asterisk evolved in shape over time, but its meaning as a symbol used to correct defects remained.in the middle ages, the asterisk was used to emphasize a particular part of text, often linking those parts of the text to a marginal comment.however, an asterisk was not always used.one hypothesis to the origin of the asterisk is that it stems from the 5000-year-old sumerian character dingir, 𒀭, though this hypothesis seems to only be based on visual appearance.for example, the word 'badword' might become 'ba***rd', 'b*****d', 'b******' or even '*******'.vowels tend to be censored with an asterisk more than consonants, but the intelligibility of censored profanities with multiple syllables such as 'b*dw*rd' and 'b*****d' or 'ba****d', or uncommon ones is higher if put in context with surrounding text.when a document containing classified information is published, the document may be 'sanitized' (redacted) by replacing the classified information with asterisks.for example, the intelligence and security committee russia report.this is because results that have been considered dubious or set aside are recorded in the record books with an asterisk rendering to a footnote explaining the reason or reasons for concern.ruth had amassed 60 home runs in a season with only 154 games, but maris was playing the first season in the american league's newly expanded 162-game season.baseball commissioner ford frick, a friend of ruth's during the legendary slugger's lifetime, held a press conference to announce his 'ruling' that should maris take longer than 154 games both records would be acknowledged by major league baseball, but that some 'distinctive mark' [his term] be placed next to maris', which should be listed alongside ruth's achievement in the 'record books'.the asterisk as such a mark was suggested at that time by new york daily news sportswriter dick young, not frick.the reality, however, was that mlb actually had no direct control over any record books until many years later, and it all was merely a suggestion on frick's part.within a few years the controversy died down and all prominent baseball record keepers listed maris as the single-season record holder.nevertheless, the stigma of holding a tainted record remained with maris for many years, and the concept of a real or figurative asterisk denoting less-than-accepted 'official' records has become widely used in sports and other competitive endeavors.a 2001 tv movie about maris's record-breaking season was called 61* (pronounced sixty-one asterisk) in reference to the controversy.uproar over the integrity of baseball records and whether or not qualifications should be added to them arose again in the late 1990s, when a steroid-fueled power explosion led to the shattering of maris' record.

dead man's plack is a grade-ii listed 19th-century monument to æthelwald, ealdorman of east anglia, who, according to legend, was killed in 963 near the site where it stands by his rival in love, king edgar i.the name is more probably derived from a corruption of 'dudman's platt', from dudman — who is recorded as a resident in 1735 — and platt, meaning a plot of land.the monument was erected in 1825 at harewood forest, between the villages of picket twenty and longparish, hampshire, by lt. col. william iremonger.on its south side an inscription in gothic script reads: about the year of our lord dcccclxiii upon this spot beyond the time of memory called deadman’s plack, tradition reports that edgar, surnamed the peaceable, king of england, in the ardour of youth love and indignation, slew with his own hand his treacherous and ungrateful favourite, owner of this forest of harewood, in resentment of the earl’s having basely betrayed and perfidiously married his intended bride and beauteous elfrida, daughter of ordgar, earl of devonshire, afterwards wife of king edgar, and by him mother of king ethelred ii.queen elfrida, after edgar’s death, murdered his eldest son, king edward the martyr, and founded the nunnery of wor-well.an inscription on the north side of the plinth reads: 'this monument was erected by col william iremonger ad mdcccxxv'.on meeting her, æthelwald was 'smitten with her beauty' and married her himself.æthelwald then returned to the king and told him that she was 'a girl of vulgar and common place appearance, and by no means worthy' of the king's hand, while concealing his own marriage to her.discovering the deception through court gossip, edgar swore vengeance and arranged a hunt in the harewood forest to which he invited æthelwald.during the hunt, edgar murdered æthelwald with a javelin, and subsequently took ælfthryth as his wife and queen.william's account was later repeated by david hume (1711–1776), a scottish historian, philosopher, economist, diplomat and essayist, in his 6-volume work the history of england, published between 1754–1761.thomas babington macaulay (1800–1859), in his preface to lays of ancient rome (1842), says the story has 'a most suspicious air of romance' and 'greatly resembles' some of the legends of early rome.macaulay writes: 'when we turn to william of malmesbury, we find that hume, in his eagerness to relate these pleasant fables, has overlooked one very important circumstance.william does indeed tell both the stories; but he gives us distinct notice that he does not warrant their truth, and that they rest on no better authority than that of ballads.'edward augustus freeman (1823–1892) debunks the story as a 'tissue of romance' in his 1875 historic essays and writes: 'the process by which legend gets transmuted into apparent history could not have been better described than it is by lord macaulay.'freeman also refers to another contemporary chronicler, geoffrey gaimar, whose l'estoire des engleis ('history of the english people'; 1136–1140) describes æthelwald's death at the hands of unidentified armed men in wherwell forest (harewood forest).elizabeth norton, a historian specialising in the queens of england, concludes that 'the evidence certainly does not suggest that [æthelwald] was murdered' and that the story related by william of malmesbury is 'a later elaboration' of the reason behind ælfthryth's foundation of nearby wherwell abbey, 'which was popularly considered to have been carried out as an act of atonement.'dudman is recorded as a resident in 1735 and 'platt' referred to a 'plot of land'.spaul explains: 'the legend of edgar and ælfthryth as fabricated by romantic poets in the 12th century and related by william of malmesbury, gave an excuse for colonel iremonger, a 19th-century antiquarian, to erect a monument in his part of harewood forest.

dead man's plack is a grade-ii listed 19th-century monument to æthelwald, ealdorman of east anglia, who, according to legend, was killed in 963 near the site where it stands by his rival in love, king edgar i.the name is more probably derived from a corruption of 'dudman's platt', from dudman — who is recorded as a resident in 1735 — and platt, meaning a plot of land.the monument was erected in 1825 at harewood forest, between the villages of picket twenty and longparish, hampshire, by lt. col. william iremonger.on its south side an inscription in gothic script reads: about the year of our lord dcccclxiii upon this spot beyond the time of memory called deadman’s plack, tradition reports that edgar, surnamed the peaceable, king of england, in the ardour of youth love and indignation, slew with his own hand his treacherous and ungrateful favourite, owner of this forest of harewood, in resentment of the earl’s having basely betrayed and perfidiously married his intended bride and beauteous elfrida, daughter of ordgar, earl of devonshire, afterwards wife of king edgar, and by him mother of king ethelred ii.queen elfrida, after edgar’s death, murdered his eldest son, king edward the martyr, and founded the nunnery of wor-well.an inscription on the north side of the plinth reads: 'this monument was erected by col william iremonger ad mdcccxxv'.on meeting her, æthelwald was 'smitten with her beauty' and married her himself.æthelwald then returned to the king and told him that she was 'a girl of vulgar and common place appearance, and by no means worthy' of the king's hand, while concealing his own marriage to her.discovering the deception through court gossip, edgar swore vengeance and arranged a hunt in the harewood forest to which he invited æthelwald.during the hunt, edgar murdered æthelwald with a javelin, and subsequently took ælfthryth as his wife and queen.william's account was later repeated by david hume (1711–1776), a scottish historian, philosopher, economist, diplomat and essayist, in his 6-volume work the history of england, published between 1754–1761.thomas babington macaulay (1800–1859), in his preface to lays of ancient rome (1842), says the story has 'a most suspicious air of romance' and 'greatly resembles' some of the legends of early rome.macaulay writes: 'when we turn to william of malmesbury, we find that hume, in his eagerness to relate these pleasant fables, has overlooked one very important circumstance.william does indeed tell both the stories; but he gives us distinct notice that he does not warrant their truth, and that they rest on no better authority than that of ballads.'edward augustus freeman (1823–1892) debunks the story as a 'tissue of romance' in his 1875 historic essays and writes: 'the process by which legend gets transmuted into apparent history could not have been better described than it is by lord macaulay.'freeman also refers to another contemporary chronicler, geoffrey gaimar, whose l'estoire des engleis ('history of the english people'; 1136–1140) describes æthelwald's death at the hands of unidentified armed men in wherwell forest (harewood forest).elizabeth norton, a historian specialising in the queens of england, concludes that 'the evidence certainly does not suggest that [æthelwald] was murdered' and that the story related by william of malmesbury is 'a later elaboration' of the reason behind ælfthryth's foundation of nearby wherwell abbey, 'which was popularly considered to have been carried out as an act of atonement.'dudman is recorded as a resident in 1735 and 'platt' referred to a 'plot of land'.spaul explains: 'the legend of edgar and ælfthryth as fabricated by romantic poets in the 12th century and related by william of malmesbury, gave an excuse for colonel iremonger, a 19th-century antiquarian, to erect a monument in his part of harewood forest.
