amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh; spanish for 'yellow') is a city in the u.s. state of texas and the seat of potter county.it is the 14th-most populous city in texas and the largest city in the texas panhandle.a portion of the city extends into randall county.the estimated population of amarillo was 200,393 as of april 1, 2020.the amarillo-pampa-borger combined statistical area had an estimated population of 308,297 as of 2020.the city of amarillo, originally named oneida, is situated in the llano estacado region.the availability of the railroad and freight service provided by the fort worth and denver city railroad contributed to the city's growth as a cattle-marketing center in the late 19th century.amarillo was once the self-proclaimed 'helium capital of the world' for having one of the country's most productive helium fields.the city is also known as 'the yellow rose of texas' (as the city takes its name from the spanish word for yellow), 'yellow city' for its name, and 'rotor city, usa' for its v-22 osprey hybrid aircraft assembly plant.amarillo operates one of the largest meat-packing areas in the united states.pantex, the only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility in the country, is also a major employer.the location of this facility also gave rise to the nickname 'bomb city'.the attractions cadillac ranch, and big texan steak ranch are located adjacent to interstate 40.u.s. highway 66 also passed through the city.berry and colorado city, texas, merchants wanted to make their new town site the region's main trading center.on august 30, 1887, berry's town site won the county seat election and was established in potter county.availability of the railroad and freight service after the county seat election made the town a fast-growing cattle-marketing center.the settlement originally was called oneida; it later changed its name to amarillo, which probably derived from yellow wildflowers that were plentiful during the spring and summer or the nearby amarillo lake and amarillo creek, named in turn for the yellow soil along their banks and shores (amarillo is the spanish word for the color yellow).early residents originally pronounced the city's name more similar to the spanish pronunciation ah-mə-ree-yoh, which was later displaced by the current pronunciation.on june 19, 1888, henry b. sanborn, who is given credit as the 'father of amarillo', and his business partner joseph f. glidden began buying land to the east to move amarillo after arguing that berry's site was on low ground and would flood during rainstorms.sanborn also offered to trade lots in the new location to businesses in the original city's site and help with the expense of moving to new buildings.his incentives gradually won over people, who moved their businesses to polk street in the new commercial district.heavy rains almost flooded berry's part of the town in 1889, prompting more people to move to sanborn's location.this eventually led to another county seat election making sanborn's town the new county seat in 1893.by the late 1890s, amarillo had emerged as one of the world's busiest cattle-shipping points, and its population grew significantly.the city became a grain elevator, milling, and feed-manufacturing center after an increase in production of wheat and small grains during the early 1900s.discovery of natural gas in 1918 and oil three years later brought oil and gas companies to the amarillo area.the united states government bought the cliffside gas field with high helium content in 1927 and the federal bureau of mines began operating the amarillo helium plant two years later.the plant was the sole producer of commercial helium in the world for a number of years. | amarillo texas | elevationabovethesealevel | 10990 <tsp> amarillo texas | populationdensity | 7460 inhabitants per square kilometre <tsp> amarillo texas | ispartof | texas <tsp> amarillo texas | areatotal | 2339 square kilometres <tsp> amarillo texas | areacode | 806 | amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh; spanish for 'yellow') is a city in the u.s. state of texas and the seat of potter county.it is the 14th-most populous city in texas and the largest city in the texas panhandle.the city is also known as 'the yellow rose of texas' (as the city takes its name from the spanish word for yellow), 'yellow city' for its name, and 'rotor city, usa' for its v-22 osprey hybrid aircraft assembly plant.amarillo operates one of the largest meat-packing areas in the united states.berry and colorado city, texas, merchants wanted to make their new town site the region's main trading center.discovery of natural gas in 1918 and oil three years later brought oil and gas companies to the amarillo area.the united states government bought the cliffside gas field with high helium content in 1927 and the federal bureau of mines began operating the amarillo helium plant two years later. |

amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh; spanish for 'yellow') is a city in the u.s. state of texas and the seat of potter county.it is the 14th-most populous city in texas and the largest city in the texas panhandle.a portion of the city extends into randall county.the estimated population of amarillo was 200,393 as of april 1, 2020.the amarillo-pampa-borger combined statistical area had an estimated population of 308,297 as of 2020.the city of amarillo, originally named oneida, is situated in the llano estacado region.the availability of the railroad and freight service provided by the fort worth and denver city railroad contributed to the city's growth as a cattle-marketing center in the late 19th century.amarillo was once the self-proclaimed 'helium capital of the world' for having one of the country's most productive helium fields.the city is also known as 'the yellow rose of texas' (as the city takes its name from the spanish word for yellow), 'yellow city' for its name, and 'rotor city, usa' for its v-22 osprey hybrid aircraft assembly plant.amarillo operates one of the largest meat-packing areas in the united states.pantex, the only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility in the country, is also a major employer.the location of this facility also gave rise to the nickname 'bomb city'.the attractions cadillac ranch, and big texan steak ranch are located adjacent to interstate 40.u.s. highway 66 also passed through the city.berry and colorado city, texas, merchants wanted to make their new town site the region's main trading center.on august 30, 1887, berry's town site won the county seat election and was established in potter county.availability of the railroad and freight service after the county seat election made the town a fast-growing cattle-marketing center.the settlement originally was called oneida; it later changed its name to amarillo, which probably derived from yellow wildflowers that were plentiful during the spring and summer or the nearby amarillo lake and amarillo creek, named in turn for the yellow soil along their banks and shores (amarillo is the spanish word for the color yellow).early residents originally pronounced the city's name more similar to the spanish pronunciation ah-mə-ree-yoh, which was later displaced by the current pronunciation.on june 19, 1888, henry b. sanborn, who is given credit as the 'father of amarillo', and his business partner joseph f. glidden began buying land to the east to move amarillo after arguing that berry's site was on low ground and would flood during rainstorms.sanborn also offered to trade lots in the new location to businesses in the original city's site and help with the expense of moving to new buildings.his incentives gradually won over people, who moved their businesses to polk street in the new commercial district.heavy rains almost flooded berry's part of the town in 1889, prompting more people to move to sanborn's location.this eventually led to another county seat election making sanborn's town the new county seat in 1893.by the late 1890s, amarillo had emerged as one of the world's busiest cattle-shipping points, and its population grew significantly.the city became a grain elevator, milling, and feed-manufacturing center after an increase in production of wheat and small grains during the early 1900s.discovery of natural gas in 1918 and oil three years later brought oil and gas companies to the amarillo area.the united states government bought the cliffside gas field with high helium content in 1927 and the federal bureau of mines began operating the amarillo helium plant two years later.the plant was the sole producer of commercial helium in the world for a number of years. | starves | alcaligenes | vibrions | no related information |

it later changed its name to amarillo, which probably derived from yellow wildflowers that were plentiful during the spring and summer or the nearby amarillo lake and amarillo creek, named in turn for the yellow soil along their banks and shores (amarillo is the spanish word for the color yellow).early residents originally pronounced the city's name more similar to the spanish pronunciation ah-mə-ree-yoh, which was later displaced by the current pronunciation.on june 19, 1888, henry b. sanborn, who is given credit as the 'father of amarillo', and his business partner joseph f. glidden began buying land to the east to move amarillo after arguing that berry's site was on low ground and would flood during rainstorms.sanborn also offered to trade lots in the new location to businesses in the original city's site and help with the expense of moving to new buildings.his incentives gradually won over people, who moved their businesses to polk street in the new commercial district.heavy rains almost flooded berry's part of the town in 1889, prompting more people to move to sanborn's location.this eventually led to another county seat election making sanborn's town the new county seat in 1893.by the late 1890s, amarillo had emerged as one of the world's busiest cattle-shipping points, and its population grew significantly.the city became a grain elevator, milling, and feed-manufacturing center after an increase in production of wheat and small grains during the early 1900s.discovery of natural gas in 1918 and oil three years later brought oil and gas companies to the amarillo area.the united states government bought the cliffside gas field with high helium content in 1927 and the federal bureau of mines began operating the amarillo helium plant two years later.the plant was the sole producer of commercial helium in the world for a number of years. | amarillo texas | ispartof | potter county texas <tsp> potter county texas | state | texas <tsp> potter county texas | country | united states <tsp> united states | capital | washington dc <tsp> united states | language | english language | amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh;

amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh; spanish for 'yellow') is a city in the u.s. state of texas and the seat of potter county.it is the 14th-most populous city in texas and the largest city in the texas panhandle.a portion of the city extends into randall county.the estimated population of amarillo was 200,393 as of april 1, 2020.the amarillo-pampa-borger combined statistical area had an estimated population of 308,297 as of 2020.the city of amarillo, originally named oneida, is situated in the llano estacado region.the availability of the railroad and freight service provided by the fort worth and denver city railroad contributed to the city's growth as a cattle-marketing center in the late 19th century.amarillo was once the self-proclaimed 'helium capital of the world' for having one of the country's most productive helium fields.the city is also known as 'the yellow rose of texas' (as the city takes its name from the spanish word for yellow), 'yellow city' for its name, and 'rotor city, usa' for its v-22 osprey hybrid aircraft assembly plant.amarillo operates one of the largest meat-packing areas in the united states.pantex, the only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility in the country, is also a major employer.the location of this facility also gave rise to the nickname 'bomb city'.the attractions cadillac ranch, and big texan steak ranch are located adjacent to interstate 40.u.s. highway 66 also passed through the city.berry and colorado city, texas, merchants wanted to make their new town site the region's main trading center.on august 30, 1887, berry's town site won the county seat election and was established in potter county.availability of the railroad and freight service after the county seat election made the town a fast-growing cattle-marketing center.the settlement originally was called oneida; it later changed its name to amarillo, which probably derived from yellow wildflowers that were plentiful during the spring and summer or the nearby amarillo lake and amarillo creek, named in turn for the yellow soil along their banks and shores (amarillo is the spanish word for the color yellow).early residents originally pronounced the city's name more similar to the spanish pronunciation ah-mə-ree-yoh, which was later displaced by the current pronunciation.on june 19, 1888, henry b. sanborn, who is given credit as the 'father of amarillo', and his business partner joseph f. glidden began buying land to the east to move amarillo after arguing that berry's site was on low ground and would flood during rainstorms.sanborn also offered to trade lots in the new location to businesses in the original city's site and help with the expense of moving to new buildings.his incentives gradually won over people, who moved their businesses to polk street in the new commercial district.heavy rains almost flooded berry's part of the town in 1889, prompting more people to move to sanborn's location.this eventually led to another county seat election making sanborn's town the new county seat in 1893.by the late 1890s, amarillo had emerged as one of the world's busiest cattle-shipping points, and its population grew significantly.the city became a grain elevator, milling, and feed-manufacturing center after an increase in production of wheat and small grains during the early 1900s.discovery of natural gas in 1918 and oil three years later brought oil and gas companies to the amarillo area.the united states government bought the cliffside gas field with high helium content in 1927 and the federal bureau of mines began operating the amarillo helium plant two years later.the plant was the sole producer of commercial helium in the world for a number of years. | nasally | caracul | sportively <tsp> nasally | meindre | hesiodic | no related information |

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. | seminivorous | urbanistically | entorganism <tsp> seminivorous | afrormosia | karma | no related information |

amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh; spanish for 'yellow') is a city in the u.s. state of texas and the seat of potter county.it is the 14th-most populous city in texas and the largest city in the texas panhandle.a portion of the city extends into randall county.the estimated population of amarillo was 200,393 as of april 1, 2020.the amarillo-pampa-borger combined statistical area had an estimated population of 308,297 as of 2020.the city of amarillo, originally named oneida, is situated in the llano estacado region.the availability of the railroad and freight service provided by the fort worth and denver city railroad contributed to the city's growth as a cattle-marketing center in the late 19th century.amarillo was once the self-proclaimed 'helium capital of the world' for having one of the country's most productive helium fields.the city is also known as 'the yellow rose of texas' (as the city takes its name from the spanish word for yellow), 'yellow city' for its name, and 'rotor city, usa' for its v-22 osprey hybrid aircraft assembly plant.amarillo operates one of the largest meat-packing areas in the united states.pantex, the only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility in the country, is also a major employer.the location of this facility also gave rise to the nickname 'bomb city'.the attractions cadillac ranch, and big texan steak ranch are located adjacent to interstate 40.u.s. highway 66 also passed through the city.berry and colorado city, texas, merchants wanted to make their new town site the region's main trading center.on august 30, 1887, berry's town site won the county seat election and was established in potter county.availability of the railroad and freight service after the county seat election made the town a fast-growing cattle-marketing center.the settlement originally was called oneida; it later changed its name to amarillo, which probably derived from yellow wildflowers that were plentiful during the spring and summer or the nearby amarillo lake and amarillo creek, named in turn for the yellow soil along their banks and shores (amarillo is the spanish word for the color yellow).early residents originally pronounced the city's name more similar to the spanish pronunciation ah-mə-ree-yoh, which was later displaced by the current pronunciation.on june 19, 1888, henry b. sanborn, who is given credit as the 'father of amarillo', and his business partner joseph f. glidden began buying land to the east to move amarillo after arguing that berry's site was on low ground and would flood during rainstorms.sanborn also offered to trade lots in the new location to businesses in the original city's site and help with the expense of moving to new buildings.his incentives gradually won over people, who moved their businesses to polk street in the new commercial district.heavy rains almost flooded berry's part of the town in 1889, prompting more people to move to sanborn's location.this eventually led to another county seat election making sanborn's town the new county seat in 1893.by the late 1890s, amarillo had emerged as one of the world's busiest cattle-shipping points, and its population grew significantly.the city became a grain elevator, milling, and feed-manufacturing center after an increase in production of wheat and small grains during the early 1900s.discovery of natural gas in 1918 and oil three years later brought oil and gas companies to the amarillo area.the united states government bought the cliffside gas field with high helium content in 1927 and the federal bureau of mines began operating the amarillo helium plant two years later.the plant was the sole producer of commercial helium in the world for a number of years. | hagi | monoecian | fewneses <tsp> hagi | spondaics | retrocopulant | no related information |

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. | verification | overpluses | coosuc | no related information |

amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh; spanish for 'yellow') is a city in the u.s. state of texas and the seat of potter county.it is the 14th-most populous city in texas and the largest city in the texas panhandle.a portion of the city extends into randall county.the estimated population of amarillo was 200,393 as of april 1, 2020.the amarillo-pampa-borger combined statistical area had an estimated population of 308,297 as of 2020.the city of amarillo, originally named oneida, is situated in the llano estacado region.the availability of the railroad and freight service provided by the fort worth and denver city railroad contributed to the city's growth as a cattle-marketing center in the late 19th century.amarillo was once the self-proclaimed 'helium capital of the world' for having one of the country's most productive helium fields.the city is also known as 'the yellow rose of texas' (as the city takes its name from the spanish word for yellow), 'yellow city' for its name, and 'rotor city, usa' for its v-22 osprey hybrid aircraft assembly plant.amarillo operates one of the largest meat-packing areas in the united states.pantex, the only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility in the country, is also a major employer.the location of this facility also gave rise to the nickname 'bomb city'.the attractions cadillac ranch, and big texan steak ranch are located adjacent to interstate 40.u.s. highway 66 also passed through the city.berry and colorado city, texas, merchants wanted to make their new town site the region's main trading center.on august 30, 1887, berry's town site won the county seat election and was established in potter county.availability of the railroad and freight service after the county seat election made the town a fast-growing cattle-marketing center.the settlement originally was called oneida; it later changed its name to amarillo, which probably derived from yellow wildflowers that were plentiful during the spring and summer or the nearby amarillo lake and amarillo creek, named in turn for the yellow soil along their banks and shores (amarillo is the spanish word for the color yellow).early residents originally pronounced the city's name more similar to the spanish pronunciation ah-mə-ree-yoh, which was later displaced by the current pronunciation.on june 19, 1888, henry b. sanborn, who is given credit as the 'father of amarillo', and his business partner joseph f. glidden began buying land to the east to move amarillo after arguing that berry's site was on low ground and would flood during rainstorms.sanborn also offered to trade lots in the new location to businesses in the original city's site and help with the expense of moving to new buildings.his incentives gradually won over people, who moved their businesses to polk street in the new commercial district.heavy rains almost flooded berry's part of the town in 1889, prompting more people to move to sanborn's location.this eventually led to another county seat election making sanborn's town the new county seat in 1893.by the late 1890s, amarillo had emerged as one of the world's busiest cattle-shipping points, and its population grew significantly.the city became a grain elevator, milling, and feed-manufacturing center after an increase in production of wheat and small grains during the early 1900s.discovery of natural gas in 1918 and oil three years later brought oil and gas companies to the amarillo area.the united states government bought the cliffside gas field with high helium content in 1927 and the federal bureau of mines began operating the amarillo helium plant two years later.the plant was the sole producer of commercial helium in the world for a number of years. | amarillo texas | ispartof | potter county texas <tsp> texas | language | english language <tsp> potter county texas | state | texas <tsp> potter county texas | country | united states <tsp> united states | capital | washington dc | amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh;

alberto teisaire (20 may 1891 – 11 september 1963) was an argentine naval officer and vice president of argentina.he enrolled in the argentine naval academy in 1908 and, upon graduation in 1912, was accepted to the united states naval academy.there, he was commissioned as a submarine officer in the u.s. navy, during world war i.returning to argentina, he married duilia fayo lonne and was eventually named commander of the navy's flagship, the historic sarmiento frigate.teisaire later taught at the argentine naval academy and held numerous policy-making posts in that service, including ones in the naval requisitions department, the argentine naval delegations in the united states and europe, as head of the navy's river fleet (1938), and as assistant director of the important navy mechanics' school, in 1940, where he specialized in the instruction of navigation and hydrology.he became a reliable ally of the new war and labor minister, col. juan perón, whose support of organized labor and their platform had provoked growing rivalries within the military regime.teisaire became perón's most prominent ally in the government when, in july, he was named interior minister (at the time, overseeing law enforcement).he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr.he, however, did not enjoy support from the president's influential first lady, eva perón, who refused his request to take part in her 1947 'rainbow tour' because (in her words): 'i did not want that fruitcake creating a scandal in paris, when for that i already have paquito, who at least makes me laugh.'teisaire did well in his career in the senate, even so.he was named provisional president of the senate in 1947, and was reelected senator in 1951.he was elected to the constitutional assembly of 1949, which drafted a replacement of the 1853 constitution of argentina (reinstated in 1957).he was named head of the peronist party's superior council in 1952, effectively making him the third-most powerful member of the administration (after interior minister ángel borlenghi and perón, himself).teisaire introduced the lions club into argentina in 1954, and received the german order of merit.controversy surrounding the president's in-laws and political violence both by and against his peronist movement dominated headlines in the first half of 1953, and perón took the opportunity of upcoming legislative polls to test his popularity.the argentine constitution did not require it at the time, but a special election was announced to replace the late vice president, hortensio quijano, and perón nominated teisaire as his candidate for the post.the april 1954 elections increased the peronists' overwhelming majority in congress and elected teisaire vice president by a 30% margin of victory.following this success, perón began to dispense with his hitherto warm relations with the catholic church by banning a number of their organizations and periodicals, and with the unprecedented, december 22 legalization of divorce and prostitution.the vice president supported these moves, arguing that argentina's catholic majority were mostly non-practicing and, by extension, probably amenable to perón's push to limit their influence.the miscalculation proved fateful, however.the dispute damaged teisaire's influence among the largely conservative catholic navy commanders, who spitefully referred to the vice president as 'that freemason,' and soon destroyed military loyalty for the administration itself.a series of violent confrontations from june to september 1955 ended with perón's september 19 resignation and exile.his 'confession' was produced into a 12-minute propaganda film by the revolución libertadora, which ordered the footage shown in all movie theatres. | alberto teisaire | deathplace | buenos aires <tsp> buenos aires | governingbody | buenos aires city legislature <tsp> alberto teisaire | nationality

amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh; spanish for 'yellow') is a city in the u.s. state of texas and the seat of potter county.it is the 14th-most populous city in texas and the largest city in the texas panhandle.a portion of the city extends into randall county.the estimated population of amarillo was 200,393 as of april 1, 2020.the amarillo-pampa-borger combined statistical area had an estimated population of 308,297 as of 2020.the city of amarillo, originally named oneida, is situated in the llano estacado region.the availability of the railroad and freight service provided by the fort worth and denver city railroad contributed to the city's growth as a cattle-marketing center in the late 19th century.amarillo was once the self-proclaimed 'helium capital of the world' for having one of the country's most productive helium fields.the city is also known as 'the yellow rose of texas' (as the city takes its name from the spanish word for yellow), 'yellow city' for its name, and 'rotor city, usa' for its v-22 osprey hybrid aircraft assembly plant.amarillo operates one of the largest meat-packing areas in the united states.pantex, the only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility in the country, is also a major employer.the location of this facility also gave rise to the nickname 'bomb city'.the attractions cadillac ranch, and big texan steak ranch are located adjacent to interstate 40.u.s. highway 66 also passed through the city.berry and colorado city, texas, merchants wanted to make their new town site the region's main trading center.on august 30, 1887, berry's town site won the county seat election and was established in potter county.availability of the railroad and freight service after the county seat election made the town a fast-growing cattle-marketing center.the settlement originally was called oneida; it later changed its name to amarillo, which probably derived from yellow wildflowers that were plentiful during the spring and summer or the nearby amarillo lake and amarillo creek, named in turn for the yellow soil along their banks and shores (amarillo is the spanish word for the color yellow).early residents originally pronounced the city's name more similar to the spanish pronunciation ah-mə-ree-yoh, which was later displaced by the current pronunciation.on june 19, 1888, henry b. sanborn, who is given credit as the 'father of amarillo', and his business partner joseph f. glidden began buying land to the east to move amarillo after arguing that berry's site was on low ground and would flood during rainstorms.sanborn also offered to trade lots in the new location to businesses in the original city's site and help with the expense of moving to new buildings.his incentives gradually won over people, who moved their businesses to polk street in the new commercial district.heavy rains almost flooded berry's part of the town in 1889, prompting more people to move to sanborn's location.this eventually led to another county seat election making sanborn's town the new county seat in 1893.by the late 1890s, amarillo had emerged as one of the world's busiest cattle-shipping points, and its population grew significantly.the city became a grain elevator, milling, and feed-manufacturing center after an increase in production of wheat and small grains during the early 1900s.discovery of natural gas in 1918 and oil three years later brought oil and gas companies to the amarillo area.the united states government bought the cliffside gas field with high helium content in 1927 and the federal bureau of mines began operating the amarillo helium plant two years later.the plant was the sole producer of commercial helium in the world for a number of years. | telemachus | unhammered | minorate | no related information |

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. | assurance | unsufficient | hexes <tsp> assurance | unpanniered | indefeatable | no related information |
alberto teisaire (20 may 1891 – 11 september 1963) was an argentine naval officer and vice president of argentina.he enrolled in the argentine naval academy in 1908 and, upon graduation in 1912, was accepted to the united states naval academy.there, he was commissioned as a submarine officer in the u.s. navy, during world war i.returning to argentina, he married duilia fayo lonne and was eventually named commander of the navy's flagship, the historic sarmiento frigate.teisaire later taught at the argentine naval academy and held numerous policy-making posts in that service, including ones in the naval requisitions department, the argentine naval delegations in the united states and europe, as head of the navy's river fleet (1938), and as assistant director of the important navy mechanics' school, in 1940, where he specialized in the instruction of navigation and hydrology.he became a reliable ally of the new war and labor minister, col. juan perón, whose support of organized labor and their platform had provoked growing rivalries within the military regime.teisaire became perón's most prominent ally in the government when, in july, he was named interior minister (at the time, overseeing law enforcement).he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr.he, however, did not enjoy support from the president's influential first lady, eva perón, who refused his request to take part in her 1947 'rainbow tour' because (in her words): 'i did not want that fruitcake creating a scandal in paris, when for that i already have paquito, who at least makes me laugh.'teisaire did well in his career in the senate, even so.he was named provisional president of the senate in 1947, and was reelected senator in 1951.he was elected to the constitutional assembly of 1949, which drafted a replacement of the 1853 constitution of argentina (reinstated in 1957).he was named head of the peronist party's superior council in 1952, effectively making him the third-most powerful member of the administration (after interior minister ángel borlenghi and perón, himself).teisaire introduced the lions club into argentina in 1954, and received the german order of merit.controversy surrounding the president's in-laws and political violence both by and against his peronist movement dominated headlines in the first half of 1953, and perón took the opportunity of upcoming legislative polls to test his popularity.the argentine constitution did not require it at the time, but a special election was announced to replace the late vice president, hortensio quijano, and perón nominated teisaire as his candidate for the post.the april 1954 elections increased the peronists' overwhelming majority in congress and elected teisaire vice president by a 30% margin of victory.following this success, perón began to dispense with his hitherto warm relations with the catholic church by banning a number of their organizations and periodicals, and with the unprecedented, december 22 legalization of divorce and prostitution.the vice president supported these moves, arguing that argentina's catholic majority were mostly non-practicing and, by extension, probably amenable to perón's push to limit their influence.the miscalculation proved fateful, however.the dispute damaged teisaire's influence among the largely conservative catholic navy commanders, who spitefully referred to the vice president as 'that freemason,' and soon destroyed military loyalty for the administration itself.a series of violent confrontations from june to september 1955 ended with perón's september 19 resignation and exile.his 'confession' was produced into a 12-minute propaganda film by the revolución libertadora, which ordered the footage shown in all movie theatres. | previsional | tendence | injunctively <tsp> previsional | muliebria | beatuti | no related information |

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. | mobilize | arbitrement | plastogene | no related information |
alberto teisaire (20 may 1891 – 11 september 1963) was an argentine naval officer and vice president of argentina.he enrolled in the argentine naval academy in 1908 and, upon graduation in 1912, was accepted to the united states naval academy.there, he was commissioned as a submarine officer in the u.s. navy, during world war i.returning to argentina, he married duilia fayo lonne and was eventually named commander of the navy's flagship, the historic sarmiento frigate.teisaire later taught at the argentine naval academy and held numerous policy-making posts in that service, including ones in the naval requisitions department, the argentine naval delegations in the united states and europe, as head of the navy's river fleet (1938), and as assistant director of the important navy mechanics' school, in 1940, where he specialized in the instruction of navigation and hydrology.he became a reliable ally of the new war and labor minister, col. juan perón, whose support of organized labor and their platform had provoked growing rivalries within the military regime.teisaire became perón's most prominent ally in the government when, in july, he was named interior minister (at the time, overseeing law enforcement).he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr.he, however, did not enjoy support from the president's influential first lady, eva perón, who refused his request to take part in her 1947 'rainbow tour' because (in her words): 'i did not want that fruitcake creating a scandal in paris, when for that i already have paquito, who at least makes me laugh.'teisaire did well in his career in the senate, even so.he was named provisional president of the senate in 1947, and was reelected senator in 1951.he was elected to the constitutional assembly of 1949, which drafted a replacement of the 1853 constitution of argentina (reinstated in 1957).he was named head of the peronist party's superior council in 1952, effectively making him the third-most powerful member of the administration (after interior minister ángel borlenghi and perón, himself).teisaire introduced the lions club into argentina in 1954, and received the german order of merit.controversy surrounding the president's in-laws and political violence both by and against his peronist movement dominated headlines in the first half of 1953, and perón took the opportunity of upcoming legislative polls to test his popularity.the argentine constitution did not require it at the time, but a special election was announced to replace the late vice president, hortensio quijano, and perón nominated teisaire as his candidate for the post.the april 1954 elections increased the peronists' overwhelming majority in congress and elected teisaire vice president by a 30% margin of victory.following this success, perón began to dispense with his hitherto warm relations with the catholic church by banning a number of their organizations and periodicals, and with the unprecedented, december 22 legalization of divorce and prostitution.the vice president supported these moves, arguing that argentina's catholic majority were mostly non-practicing and, by extension, probably amenable to perón's push to limit their influence.the miscalculation proved fateful, however.the dispute damaged teisaire's influence among the largely conservative catholic navy commanders, who spitefully referred to the vice president as 'that freemason,' and soon destroyed military loyalty for the administration itself.a series of violent confrontations from june to september 1955 ended with perón's september 19 resignation and exile.his 'confession' was produced into a 12-minute propaganda film by the revolución libertadora, which ordered the footage shown in all movie theatres. | unhorned | phonoglyph | clast <tsp> unhorned | prefestival | scripuralistic | no related information |

amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh; spanish for 'yellow') is a city in the u.s. state of texas and the seat of potter county.it is the 14th-most populous city in texas and the largest city in the texas panhandle.a portion of the city extends into randall county.the estimated population of amarillo was 200,393 as of april 1, 2020.the amarillo-pampa-borger combined statistical area had an estimated population of 308,297 as of 2020.the city of amarillo, originally named oneida, is situated in the llano estacado region.the availability of the railroad and freight service provided by the fort worth and denver city railroad contributed to the city's growth as a cattle-marketing center in the late 19th century.amarillo was once the self-proclaimed 'helium capital of the world' for having one of the country's most productive helium fields.the city is also known as 'the yellow rose of texas' (as the city takes its name from the spanish word for yellow), 'yellow city' for its name, and 'rotor city, usa' for its v-22 osprey hybrid aircraft assembly plant.amarillo operates one of the largest meat-packing areas in the united states.pantex, the only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility in the country, is also a major employer.the location of this facility also gave rise to the nickname 'bomb city'.the attractions cadillac ranch, and big texan steak ranch are located adjacent to interstate 40.u.s. highway 66 also passed through the city.berry and colorado city, texas, merchants wanted to make their new town site the region's main trading center.on august 30, 1887, berry's town site won the county seat election and was established in potter county.availability of the railroad and freight service after the county seat election made the town a fast-growing cattle-marketing center.the settlement originally was called oneida; it later changed its name to amarillo, which probably derived from yellow wildflowers that were plentiful during the spring and summer or the nearby amarillo lake and amarillo creek, named in turn for the yellow soil along their banks and shores (amarillo is the spanish word for the color yellow).early residents originally pronounced the city's name more similar to the spanish pronunciation ah-mə-ree-yoh, which was later displaced by the current pronunciation.on june 19, 1888, henry b. sanborn, who is given credit as the 'father of amarillo', and his business partner joseph f. glidden began buying land to the east to move amarillo after arguing that berry's site was on low ground and would flood during rainstorms.sanborn also offered to trade lots in the new location to businesses in the original city's site and help with the expense of moving to new buildings.his incentives gradually won over people, who moved their businesses to polk street in the new commercial district.heavy rains almost flooded berry's part of the town in 1889, prompting more people to move to sanborn's location.this eventually led to another county seat election making sanborn's town the new county seat in 1893.by the late 1890s, amarillo had emerged as one of the world's busiest cattle-shipping points, and its population grew significantly.the city became a grain elevator, milling, and feed-manufacturing center after an increase in production of wheat and small grains during the early 1900s.discovery of natural gas in 1918 and oil three years later brought oil and gas companies to the amarillo area.the united states government bought the cliffside gas field with high helium content in 1927 and the federal bureau of mines began operating the amarillo helium plant two years later.the plant was the sole producer of commercial helium in the world for a number of years. | atman | insuitable | hallmoot <tsp> atman | overcalled | titanolatry | no related information |
alberto teisaire (20 may 1891 – 11 september 1963) was an argentine naval officer and vice president of argentina.he enrolled in the argentine naval academy in 1908 and, upon graduation in 1912, was accepted to the united states naval academy.there, he was commissioned as a submarine officer in the u.s. navy, during world war i.returning to argentina, he married duilia fayo lonne and was eventually named commander of the navy's flagship, the historic sarmiento frigate.teisaire later taught at the argentine naval academy and held numerous policy-making posts in that service, including ones in the naval requisitions department, the argentine naval delegations in the united states and europe, as head of the navy's river fleet (1938), and as assistant director of the important navy mechanics' school, in 1940, where he specialized in the instruction of navigation and hydrology.he became a reliable ally of the new war and labor minister, col. juan perón, whose support of organized labor and their platform had provoked growing rivalries within the military regime.teisaire became perón's most prominent ally in the government when, in july, he was named interior minister (at the time, overseeing law enforcement).he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr.he, however, did not enjoy support from the president's influential first lady, eva perón, who refused his request to take part in her 1947 'rainbow tour' because (in her words): 'i did not want that fruitcake creating a scandal in paris, when for that i already have paquito, who at least makes me laugh.'teisaire did well in his career in the senate, even so.he was named provisional president of the senate in 1947, and was reelected senator in 1951.he was elected to the constitutional assembly of 1949, which drafted a replacement of the 1853 constitution of argentina (reinstated in 1957).he was named head of the peronist party's superior council in 1952, effectively making him the third-most powerful member of the administration (after interior minister ángel borlenghi and perón, himself).teisaire introduced the lions club into argentina in 1954, and received the german order of merit.controversy surrounding the president's in-laws and political violence both by and against his peronist movement dominated headlines in the first half of 1953, and perón took the opportunity of upcoming legislative polls to test his popularity.the argentine constitution did not require it at the time, but a special election was announced to replace the late vice president, hortensio quijano, and perón nominated teisaire as his candidate for the post.the april 1954 elections increased the peronists' overwhelming majority in congress and elected teisaire vice president by a 30% margin of victory.following this success, perón began to dispense with his hitherto warm relations with the catholic church by banning a number of their organizations and periodicals, and with the unprecedented, december 22 legalization of divorce and prostitution.the vice president supported these moves, arguing that argentina's catholic majority were mostly non-practicing and, by extension, probably amenable to perón's push to limit their influence.the miscalculation proved fateful, however.the dispute damaged teisaire's influence among the largely conservative catholic navy commanders, who spitefully referred to the vice president as 'that freemason,' and soon destroyed military loyalty for the administration itself.a series of violent confrontations from june to september 1955 ended with perón's september 19 resignation and exile.his 'confession' was produced into a 12-minute propaganda film by the revolución libertadora, which ordered the footage shown in all movie theatres. | uniconoclastic | paragraphize | bree <tsp> uniconoclastic | quinquagenary | becrowds | no related information |

amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh; spanish for 'yellow') is a city in the u.s. state of texas and the seat of potter county.it is the 14th-most populous city in texas and the largest city in the texas panhandle.a portion of the city extends into randall county.the estimated population of amarillo was 200,393 as of april 1, 2020.the amarillo-pampa-borger combined statistical area had an estimated population of 308,297 as of 2020.the city of amarillo, originally named oneida, is situated in the llano estacado region.the availability of the railroad and freight service provided by the fort worth and denver city railroad contributed to the city's growth as a cattle-marketing center in the late 19th century.amarillo was once the self-proclaimed 'helium capital of the world' for having one of the country's most productive helium fields.the city is also known as 'the yellow rose of texas' (as the city takes its name from the spanish word for yellow), 'yellow city' for its name, and 'rotor city, usa' for its v-22 osprey hybrid aircraft assembly plant.amarillo operates one of the largest meat-packing areas in the united states.pantex, the only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility in the country, is also a major employer.the location of this facility also gave rise to the nickname 'bomb city'.the attractions cadillac ranch, and big texan steak ranch are located adjacent to interstate 40.u.s. highway 66 also passed through the city.berry and colorado city, texas, merchants wanted to make their new town site the region's main trading center.on august 30, 1887, berry's town site won the county seat election and was established in potter county.availability of the railroad and freight service after the county seat election made the town a fast-growing cattle-marketing center.the settlement originally was called oneida; it later changed its name to amarillo, which probably derived from yellow wildflowers that were plentiful during the spring and summer or the nearby amarillo lake and amarillo creek, named in turn for the yellow soil along their banks and shores (amarillo is the spanish word for the color yellow).early residents originally pronounced the city's name more similar to the spanish pronunciation ah-mə-ree-yoh, which was later displaced by the current pronunciation.on june 19, 1888, henry b. sanborn, who is given credit as the 'father of amarillo', and his business partner joseph f. glidden began buying land to the east to move amarillo after arguing that berry's site was on low ground and would flood during rainstorms.sanborn also offered to trade lots in the new location to businesses in the original city's site and help with the expense of moving to new buildings.his incentives gradually won over people, who moved their businesses to polk street in the new commercial district.heavy rains almost flooded berry's part of the town in 1889, prompting more people to move to sanborn's location.this eventually led to another county seat election making sanborn's town the new county seat in 1893.by the late 1890s, amarillo had emerged as one of the world's busiest cattle-shipping points, and its population grew significantly.the city became a grain elevator, milling, and feed-manufacturing center after an increase in production of wheat and small grains during the early 1900s.discovery of natural gas in 1918 and oil three years later brought oil and gas companies to the amarillo area.the united states government bought the cliffside gas field with high helium content in 1927 and the federal bureau of mines began operating the amarillo helium plant two years later.the plant was the sole producer of commercial helium in the world for a number of years. | fibroma | interseminating | azury <tsp> fibroma | descloizite | tubifacient | no related information |

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 | location | england <tsp> england | ethnicgroups | british arabs <tsp> england | capital | london <tsp> england | languages | cornish language <tsp> england | religion | church of england | 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.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.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.' |
