President is a title held by many leaders of organizations, companies, trade unions, universities, and countries. Etymologically, a "president" is one who presides, who sits in leadership (from Latin pre- "before" + sedere "to sit"; giving the term praeses). Originally, the term referred to the presiding officer of a ceremony or meeting (i.e., chairman), but today it most commonly refers to an official.

2001: A Space Odyssey (occasionally referred to as simply 2001) is a 1968 science fiction film directed by Stanley Kubrick released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and written by Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke.

The Gregorian Calendar is the internationally accepted civil calendar. It was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII, after whom the calendar was named, by a decree signed on 24 February 1582, a papal bull known by its opening words Inter gravissimas. The reformed calendar was adopted later that year by a handful of countries, with other countries adopting it over the following centuries.

Chicago is a Kander and Ebb musical set in prohibition era Chicago. The music is by John Kander with lyrics by Fred Ebb and a book by Ebb and Bob Fosse. The story is a satire on corruption in the administration of criminal justice, and the concept of the "celebrity criminal." The musical is based on a 1926 play of the same name by reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins about actual criminals and crimes she had reported on.

On that note, I probably do not wish to see the musical of that name. I know that there was a pop band called Chicago; the group was named after the city because that's where they were formed. They were active mainly during the 1970's and 1980's, and featured Peter Cetera on lead vocals before he departed for a solo career.

The film is a comedy about a panic in the Los Angeles area that occurs after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Although it was not as financially or critically successful as Spielberg's previous (and later) films, it received belated recognition after being aired on ABC in an expanded version, and its subsequent successful home video reissues, raising the film to a cult status.

Ants are social insects of the family Formicidae (pronounced /fɔrˈmɪsɨdiː/) and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera. Ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors in the mid-Cretaceous period between 110 and 130 million years ago and diversified after the rise of flowering plants.

Alone till the day I die
Unseen by stranger-eyes
In this white house?
Hands, hold you poison or grapes?

Beyond this island bound
By a thin sea of flesh
And a bone coast,
The land lies out of sound
And the hills out of mind.
No birds or flying fish
Disturbs this island’s rest.

Ears in this island hear
The wind pass like a fire,
Eyes in this island see
Ships anchor off the bay.
Shall I run to the ships
With the wind in my hair,
Or stay till the day I die
And welcome no sailor?
Ships, hold you poison or grapes?

Hands grumble on the door,
Ships anchor off the bay,
Rain beats the sand and slates.
Shall I let in the stranger,
Shall I welcome the sailor,
Or stay till the day I die?

Hands of the stranger and holds of the ships,
Hold you poison or grapes?"

The UK is a developed country, with the world's sixth largest economy by nominal GDP and the sixth largest by purchasing power parity. It was the world's first industrialised country and the world's foremost power during the 19th and early 20th centuries, but the economic and social cost of two world wars and the decline of its empire in the latter half of the 20th century diminished its leading role in global affairs.

Today is President's Day in the USA, what is the history behind it?

Subject: Re: Fantastic word game

Written By: nally on 02/19/18 at 3:58 pm

It was a holiday created to honor the birth of the United States' first president, George Washington... but his actual birthday is February 22nd, which can never be Presidents' Day, because when it falls on a Monday it's the 4th Monday, not the 3rd (which was the case in 2016); therefore calling it "Washington's Birthday Observed" is kind of a misnomer. However, prior to 1971 it was observed on Washington's actual birthday, the 22nd; it was in 1971 when the 3rd Monday in February was designated as the holiday; by the 1980s most everyone was calling it Presidents' Day, the name that is officially used today. Also it can honor all Presidents of the United States.

However, in the 1960s, during the band's early days, they did add other members to the band, and the brothers tried their hands at solo careers... but by 1969 it got so confusing, so the three brothers reunited and it remained that way ever since (that is, until the deaths of Maurice and Robin).

"Naturally" was an early hit for Selena Gomez, but not her very first single as a recording artist; she had one before that, called "Falling Down", but it wasn't quite as popular. Still, she was 17 when she released said songs, in the year 2009. They were part of her first album, Kiss & Tell, which she began recording when she was 16.

16 (sixteen) is the natural number following 15 and preceding 17.

17 is a prime number; so is 71, the reversal of it.

The reversal of it is ti, (in tonic sol-fa) the seventh note of a major scale

A major scale consists of three sharps -- that is the 'A' major scale, not the indefinite article. I thought I'd mention that so that there is no ambiguity or confusion in what I just wrote. I hope it is understood completely.

Completely also means utterly
