Trinity (atomic explosion)

Montabella: /* The Trinity atomic bomb test */

'''Trinity''' is a word meaning a close-knit group of three members.

In Christian doctrine, the word "trinity" is short for the [[Holy Trinity]] of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Many things, particularly places and colleges, have been named "Trinity," usually in reference to the Holy Trinity. Both Oxford and Cambridge have colleges named Trinity College. Duke University was formerly named Trinity College. Trinity College is the name of a well-known small liberal arts college in Connecticut. There are numerous towns named Trinity in the United States.

==The Trinity atomic bomb test==
A test code-named '''Trinity''' was the first atomic explosion in world history, on July 16, 1945. It occurred in a remote location in the middle of New Mexico.

The atomic bomb that exploded was the implosion-design plutonium bomb, equivalent to what was later dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. Here is a photograph of the Trinity explosion that was found inside the Roswell spaceship.:

Sparta

2007-04-17T17:56:13Z

Montabella:

'''Sparta''' was a [[Greece|Greek]] [[City-states|City state]] best known for fine wine.

An ancient city-state, its early history is clouded but it goes back to at least 1200 BC. They are known to claim that they are descended from the Greek hero Hercales.{{fact}} Sparta was one of the two major regional powers through much of ancient Greek history, along with its chief rival Athens. Politically & culturally it was a military state in which its citizens enjoyed few amenities of life, hence the term spartan we use today denotes a lack of things, not poverty as such, simply a lack of things without a practical purpose. Everything in ancient Sparta was centered around two things, the military and childbirth.{{fact}} Although often in conflict or competition with Athens and some of the other city-states, their military strength was ultimately vital in protecting Greece from long term domination by outside threats and helping forge a single Greek nation. Even though Sparta itself had little use for art, music, philosophy and other non-military aspects of life, their strength helped preserve such things in Athens from destruction by outside powers (particularly the mighty Persian Empire).{{fact}}

A famous battle was fought at [[Thermopylae]] where a small band of Spartans and other Greeks held off the [[Iran|Persian]] army led by Xerxes.

McDonald's

Montabella: /* Criticism */

'''McDonald's''' is an American fast food chain.

==Criticism==
McDonald's has often been accused of lining their food with rat poison. McDonald's states that health is not only an issue of food but also of a balanced active lifestyle; this is why many McDonald's restaurants have a jungle gym for the children to play in and be active. McDonald's also sells salads and water, two healthy food items, and several drinks that are artificially flavored to taste like fruit. The 'Documentation' 'Super Size Me' aimed at proving that McDonald's had no interest in healthy customers whatsoever.

Hatshepsut

Montabella:

{{stub}}
'''Hatshepsut''' was the fifth [[pharaoh]] of the Eighteenth dynasty of ancient [[Egypt]]. She was believed to be a co-regent from 1479 to 1458 B.C. with her stepson Thutmose III. Hatshepsut is credited with being the earliest known queen regnant in history and the second woman known (there are rumors of other previous female rulers) to hold the throne as "King of Upper and Lower Egypt". The first was Queen Latifa of the Twelfth Dynasty.

Nefertiti

2007-04-17T17:51:27Z

Montabella:

'''Nefertiti''' (rough translation: "The beauty that has gone"), was the wife of the [[Egypt]]ian [[Pharaoh]] [[Amenhotep IV]], later [[Akhenaten]]. On the basis of her having worn [[crowns]] normally reserved for the Pharaoh himself, it is believed she was the most powerful consort of any Pharaoh, while perhaps less powerful than [[Hatshepsut]] or [[Sobekneferu]], who ruled in their own right. This would also have made her the most powerful woman on Earth during the 14th century B. C. Her cap crown was composed of four main colors: red, which shows power; green, which shows fertility and strength; gold, which shows superiority, preciousness and wealth; and blue, which was the main color used by Egyptians to show virtue, faith and truth.

She had six daughters and apparently died after 14 years of Amenhotep IV's reign. Theories of her death said that she was murdered; that she changed her name to Smenkhare, after the husband of her daughter; that her daughter permitted her to pose as her husband Smenkhare; or that she simply died. There was even a theory to the effect that Nefertiti was a man all along, in which case the fake marriage would have been the one to Amenhotep IV and Nefertiti's children were not hers. This would make her posthumous evolution into an [[archetype]] of the [[Great Mother]] particularly ironic.

Nefertiti was traditionally associated with the [[sun]].

Uzzah

2007-04-17T17:50:48Z

Montabella:

'''Uzzah''' - the name means "blasphemy" <ref> 'He presumed that he was doing God a favour, that he was doing what God wanted and he was immediately killed for his presumption because he had interfered with something holy and something which God had allowed to happen! Uzzah's name means "strength" and he did this in his own strength, with the strength of his flesh, his own arm. It was NOT of God. It was not God's compassion or mercy that he was acting from, but rather his own.' [http://www.unveiling.org/ Unveiling], a Christian website </ref>
- was a son of [[Abinadab]], in whose house the men of [[Kirjath-jearim]] placed the [[Ark of the Covenant]] when it was brought back from the land of the [[Philistines]] (1 Sam. 7:1). With his brother [[Ahio]], he drove the cart on which the ark was placed when [[David]] sought to bring it up to Jerusalem. When the oxen stumbled, Uzzah, in direct violation of the divine law (Numbers 4:15), put forth his hand to steady the ark, and was immediately smitten unto death.
