Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer - 1924; Metro Picture Corporation (formed in 1915), Goldwyn Picture Corporation (1917), and Louis B. Mayer Pictures (1918), under the control of movie theater magnate Marcus Loew. Louis B. Mayer became the studio boss, and Irving Thalberg, the "Boy Wonder", was head of production. They took on the motto Ars Gratia Artis (Art for Art's Sake) and their trademark lion, "Leo" in 1928. Not long after this merger, Loew died, leaving control of the studios to his associate Nicholas Schenck; Schenck then attempted to sell the properties to what would later become 20th Century Fox, but was unsuccessful. Mayer was quite displeased with this, and tensions between him and Schenck would be delicate from this point onward. Under Mayer's and Thalberg's management, MGM Studios became the largest film company in Hollywood (although.

Felix Marcus Minucius - Felix Marcus Minucius Felix Marcus Minucius was one of the earliest if not the earliest, of the Latin apologists for Christianity. Of his personal history nothing is known, and even the date at which he wrote can be only approximately ascertained. Jerome (De vir. fit 58) speaks of him as "Romae insignis causidicus," but in that he is probably only improving on the expression of Lactantius (Inst. div. v. 1) who speaks of him as "non ignobilis inter causidicos loci." He is now exclusively known by his Octavius, a dialogue on Christianity between the pagan Caecilius Natalisi and the Christian Octavius Januarius, a provincial lawyer, the friend and fellow-student of the author. The scene is pleasantly and graphically laid on the beach at Ostia on a holiday.
Eric Robert Rudolph - Eric Robert Rudolph Eric Robert Rudolph (born September 19, 1966) is a suspect in the July 27, 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing at the Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, which killed Alice Hawthorne and wounded 111 others. (It also indirectly caused the death of cameraman Melih Uzunyol by heart attack as he rushed to cover the incident.) He is also charged with having bombed a health clinic in Birmingham, Alabama on January 16, 1997, killing Robert Sanderson and critically injuring Emily Lyons. He is also charged with two bombings at the Sandy Springs Professional Office Building north of Atlanta on January 29, 1998, and setting two bombs at the Otherside Lounge in Atlanta on February 21, 1997 (only one of these detonated). The use of two bombs is a.
Karl Rudolf König - Karl Rudolf König Karl Rudolph König (November 26, 1832 - October 2, 1901), was a German physicist, chiefly concerned with acoustic phenomena. He was born in Königsberg (Prussia), and studied at the university of his native town. About 1852 he went to Paris, and became apprentice to the famous violin-maker, Jean Baptiste Vuillaume (1798-1875), and some six years later he started business on his own account. He called himself a "maker of musical instruments," but the instrument for which his name is best known is the tuning fork, his work speedily gained a high reputation among physicists for accuracy and general excellence. From this business König derived his livelihood for the rest of his life. He was, however, very far from being a mere tradesman. Acoustical research was his real.
Kommagene - both Alexander the Great and the Persian kings. Their son Antiochus Theos (69 - 40 BC) supported Pompey against the Parthians, and in 64 BC was rewarded with additional territories. He was able to deflect Roman attacks from Marcus Antonius, whom he eventually joined in the Roman civil war, but after Antony's defeat to Augustus, Kommagene was made a Roman client-state. In AD 17 Tiberius deposed Antiochus III, but Caligula reinstated his son Antiochus IV Epiphanes who reigned until 72, when Vespasian deposed the dynasty. Their descendants lived on prosperously in Greece, where local benefactor Julius Antiochus Philopappus still has a monument in Athen. Kommagene is famous for its sanctuary located in Nemrud Mountain (Nemrud Dagi), an enormous complex on a mountain-top founded by Antiochus Theos featuring giant statues of the.
