![]() ![]() Thanks to his prestige as a shipowner and expert sailor and his fame throughout the Tinto- Odiel region, he was able to enlist an appropriate crew. Īs a strong sign of his commitment to Columbus's plan, Pinzón put up half a million ( "medio cuento") maravedís in coin toward the cost of the voyage, half of the amount that had been put up by the monarchy. According to Fernández Duro, de las Casas says Columbus offered Pinzón equal honors in the voyage and half the profits, and Diego Pinzón Colmenero testified the same in the pleitos colombinos Francisco Medel testified that he heard him offer Pinzón "whatever he asked for and desired". ![]() However, we do have the writings of Fray Bartolomé de las Casas and the testimony of some witnesses. There is no record of any written agreement between Columbus and Pinzón, and the terms of any agreement are lost to history. Pinzón's friend Pero Vázquez de la Frontera, a very respected old mariner in the town, also had an important influence on Pinzón deciding to support the undertaking, not only morally but also economically. The Franciscans of the Monastery of La Rábida put Columbus in touch with Pinzón. Pinzón family house in Palos, now Casa Museo de Martín Alonso Pinzón.Īt about this time, Pinzón returned from a routine commercial voyage to Rome. Opposition or indifference to Columbus's project was general. ![]() The venture-risky and, above all, of uncertain profit-did not present great attractions. Independent of their greater or lesser credence in his ideas, the men of Palos found it difficult to support the Genovese sailor if he was not accompanied by a mariner known and respected in the town. The sailors of Palos had no confidence in embarking on this adventure with Columbus, who was largely unknown to them. On a royal provision was read out to the residents of Palos, by which the Catholic Monarchs Isabella and Ferdinand ordered that certain residents deliver two caravels to Columbus and travel with him on his voyage that he was making "by command of Their Highnesses" ( "por mandado de Sus Altezas") and that the town should respect the royal decision. Preparations for the voyage of discovery It is probable that even while in Portugal before coming to Spain, Columbus was aware of Martín Alonso, because he was known for his participation in the war, as well as for his incursions into the Afro-Atlantic waters in the wake of the Portuguese, traveling to the Canary Islands and Guinea, with their rich fisheries and the commercial possibility of trade in gold, spices, and slaves. He was also famous for his battles against the Portuguese in the War of the Castilian Succession. His nautical experience and his leadership remained patent in the 1508–1536 lawsuits known as the pleitos colombinos ("Columbian lawsuits"), where the witnesses indicated him as the leader of the comarca (a region comparable to a shire). No indisputable written records remain, however, to support this early claim to discovery. Pinzon is known to have displayed a remarkable confidence in guiding Columbus in his discovery of the New World. Back in Dieppe, Pinzón left Cousin in a dispute, and is claimed to have left for Spain, from where he advised Columbus on his westward sail. Ī French tradition holds that Alonso Pinzón sailed to the New World with the navigator Jean Cousin, and that together they discovered the continent in 1488, four years before Columbus. Leonor, the youngest, suffered frequent attacks of what was then called " gota coral" and would now be called epilepsy. They had five children: two boys-Arias Pérez and Juan, who participated in several expeditions to the Americas-and three girls-Mayor, Catalina, and Leonor. Martín's family contracted a marriage with a resident of the locality named María Álvarez. His home, now the Casa Museo de Martín Alonso Pinzón, was on the old royal road to the Monastery of La Rábida. Life īorn in Palos around 1441, it appears that at quite a young age Pinzón shipped out on a locally based caravel as a grumete (cabin boy). His father was a sailor named Martín Pinzón his mother was named Mayor Vicente. His grandfather was a sailor and diver known as Martín it is not clear whether that was a first or last name, and whether in his generation Pinzón was a surname or an epithet. There are several conflicting theories about the origin of the family and of their name ( see Pinzón family). The Pinzón family was among the leading families of Palos de la Frontera in the late 15th century. Main article: Pinzón brothers § The Pinzón family of Palos ![]()

![]() ![]() The two greatest words in the history of the English language ever smashed together: Top. You know it’s coming, and it’s awesome every time.ĥ. Sure, they’re not as long as they used to be, but it never gets old. No joke: NHRA on FOX is the reason I bought a bigger, better OLED TV. It’s a colorful feast with the smoke, the flashy colors on the cars, the sponsor decals. I defy you to find a more visually pleasing sport. I’ve taken six friends to the drag races over the years, and they all expressed the sentiment: “You can describe it all day, but until you’re there and you really hear it…” They used words and phrases like, “It’s like nothing else” and “I still can’t believe how loud it is” and “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”ģ. In every category, of course, but especially Top Fuel: 0-100 in less than a second? 11,000 hp? Stop it.Ģ. ![]() These reasons came to me faster than an Erica Enders reaction time and are not in any particular order, except for the first three. Having received my latest copy of the newly revamped NHRA National Dragster and seeing the cover banner: “Celebrating 70 Years of Championship Drag Racing,” I was inspired to compile this list: “70 reasons why NHRA Drag Racing is the best sport on earth.” I can only imagine the hangdog, pouty, lower lip-protruding mug I had on when Muldowney approached me and said, “Honey, would you like to help me push my car to the track?” The look of envy of the other kids had me walking tall, and I remember barely putting the tip of my index finger on some part of the car, not really “helping” but still feeling special. I was next in line, and as the sun began to poke through, you guessed it - they called the next Top Fuel round to the staging area. Top Fuel hadn’t hit 300 mph yet, but dragsters were plenty fast and loud, as I was privileged to see “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, Don “The Snake” Prudhomme, and Shirley Muldowney, my all-time favorite person and hero in all of sports.ĭuring a rain delay, I stood in line to get Muldowney’s autograph amongst a few dozen kids. Our first-row bleacher seats were about 50 feet from the starting line, putting us close at racers’ level. I attended my first drag races with my dad at Dragway 42 in Salem, Ohio, when I was 10 years old. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can set sounds to stop playing after a certain period of time, or if you prefer you can have them fade out gradually to silence. If you’re trying to fall asleep, you might find the timer function handy. To disguise high-pitched sounds, Birds and Crickets are a good option, and for low-pitched sounds, try Thunder. If music coming through the wall is keeping you up, try a mix of Singing Bowl with Waves or Wind to help you ignore it. If you’re trying to study in the library and someone won’t stop talking, try listening to the Coffee Shop sound to transform a single, distracting voice into a pleasant background murmur. Even the distant rumble of thunder can be soothing when you’re comfortable and safe indoors.īut other types of noise can be distracting, irritating or even stressful - the hammering from the building site across the street, the stomping of the neighbors in the apartment upstairs, or the thumping bass from the party outside.Ī Soft Murmur is designed to help you ignore bothersome noise by playing custom ambient sounds to suit your environment.

She's another one-percenter who can't see the real world past her mansion gates. Despite what The Telegraph suggests, Bruni-Sarkozy's comments don't prove why women still need feminism, when there are so many more intellectually thoughtful examples to support the case. French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Britains Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, leave the Douaumont memorial Tuesday in Verdun, France, following. On the other hand, do we really want to spend our limited free time expending energy on what Bruni-Sarkozy thinks? Admittedly, there's a certain sport in firing back a few potshots of our own, such as British novelist Fay Weldon's observation to The Telegraph: "Just because a woman stays at home to look after the children, doesn't mean she is devoid of a brain – though I suspect that Carla is." But that feels unworthy. (Much as we admire Michelle Obama for her consciousness-raising efforts.) But one would think that between Romney's 47-per-cent, and the tension of the Occupy movement, the pampered class would learn to keep their comments to their silver-spooned selves. Bruni-Sarkozy, who married then French President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008, has hardly set a standard as someone whose opinions should be taken seriously, and being married to a political leader shouldn't require that she does. You gotta love/hate her for being so clueless. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, former supermodel, French pop star, mother of two, wife of former President Nicolas Sarkozy, was never a typical first lady even for a country where that title is not an. Or as Bryony Gordon wrote in The Telegraph: "By doing the 'same thing every day,' does she mean shopping or gazing adoringly at herself in the mirror?' This includes, as she informed French reporters earlier this year, watching soap operas and reality TV with her baby (while presumably someone else does the laundry). I love family life, I love doing the same thing every day," she told the magazine. In the first volume of his autobiography, The Time of Storms, he revealed that on that same 2008 state visit he was so nervous he mistook a glass of gin for water and gulped it down."I'm not all an active feminist. Indeed, he is still appreciative of wine, once being served a 1961 Château Margaux at a banquet held by Queen Elizabeth II. You don’t need to practice something to be interested in it…” A flock of global entertainment notables and politicos, including Frances first lady Carla Bruni, toasted Nelson Mandelas 91st birthday with an all-star concert at Radio City Music Hall.The. If he had tasted drunkenness, I don’t know where we would be.”Īt a lunch at the Élysée Palace, Sarkozy once retorted to a guest who questioned why he wasn’t drinking: “I don’t drink wine and yet I am very interested in French wine. In the interview, Bruni disclosed: “He only likes the scent of wine, he doesn’t like the taste and I think he doesn’t like letting go either. Though you might expect the man who was President of France from 2007 to 2015 to enjoy partaking in a glass or two of something with lunch, Sarkozy is actually teetotal and claims to have “never drunk a drop of alcohol” in his life. In an interview with French celebrity gossip magazine Gala, the former First Lady shared that her husband tastes wine, but never drinks it. ‘Nude Carla Bruni’ Pics Dupe Foreign Diplomats You might think that senior diplomats, engaged in top-level international negotiations, would be too busy or too wise to be tempted into checking out unsolicited pictures of naked ladies, sent from anonymous sources, on their work emails. ![]() ![]() Although he has a good career, his father does not think it is right. Most of these activities besides jobs include finding girls and running after them. He is working as an assistant manager in a store. Happy or Hap is the youngest of the two sons of the Loman family. That is why she tells her son, Biff, that if he does not have any feeling for his father, then she does not have any feelings for him. Overall, she has resigned to her fate despite her efforts to make her sons emotionally support Willy. She immediately senses that he is going to commit suicide and asks Biff to help his father. She is also very understanding in that she realizes that Willy’s hallucinations are symbols of his declining psychological state of mind.

Despite being a star athlete during his school years and winning a scholarship, he could not graduate from the college. Son of Willy and Linda, Biff is a failure in his career. Finally, seeing failures in his life, he commits suicide. However, the tragic fact is that his children never understood him despite his wife’s efforts to make Happy and Biff realize their father’s situation. He wants his family to live in luxury but his hard work does not pay off, and his sons do not become serious in adopting a good career or succeeding in life.

Jefferson Healthcare recently conducted a clinic on preventing falls, held down in Port Ludlow. A bad traffic idea: The main east-west route in Tucson is - really - Speedway Boulevard.

![]() My own take on it was that if Kitty Pryde was 21 years old at the time of her alleged termination ( Yeah, we'll see how long THAT lasts.), then she's taken 28 reader years to age 8 character years. ![]() So far this is all stuff you already know. She was also described as being 14 in 1983 when The New Mutants got their own ongoing title. The character of Kitty Pryde was introduced in 1980, and was described at the time as being 13 and a half. The formula for which it argues is 1 comic year for every 3.5 real-world years.Īs noted there, it's a fair deduction that she was intended to be at least about 18 when she had a sexual relationship with significantly older Pete Wisdom in 1996. This can't really be answered definitively for a given reader date unless a particular comic pins down her age, but there was an article written about this very question, "The Pryde Scale or Fun With Aging in the Marvel Universe" by Edward WinterRose (first published to The Bendis Board in 2008, then republished in 2015 at Observation Deck, which was hosted by io9 at the time). Are there any other indications of how old Kitty is in Earth-616? They have since both grown up and consummated that relationship.ĭespite there being a lot of attention being paid to her age early on, there does not seem to be many clues to Kitty's current age. From the very beginning there was a love interest between Kitty and Piotr Rasputin (Colossus), but editors didn't approve of a 14 and 19 year old in a relationship (Archived link). She has graduated from the X-Men, joined Excalibur and returned back to the X-Men (repeatedly). ![]() In Earth-616, Kitty has grown up and graduated college (though being a genius means this probably happened at an accelerated rate). This, of course, creates some continuity issues (Archived link) although we have now caught up with the year of The Days Of Future Past, none of the characters depicted have visibly aged nearly as much as the story showed us. We are not explicitly told her age, but she is visibly older - arguably 30 years older than her then-current 13 year old self.Ĭomics, in general, use a sliding time scale where time only really passes as necessary - or to make important relevant links to reality (e.g.: The Amazing Spider-Man #36). In Uncanny X-Men 141, we are shown a grown up Katherine Pryde - specifically in the year 2013. ![]() When Kitty Pryde was introduced in Uncanny X-Men 129, she was described as being 13 years old. ![]() ![]() There are three mobs to choose from – The tuff golem, the rascal, and the sniffer.
