George IV of the united Kingdom was hated for his lavish lifestyle. He was good at bribing other politicians and being bribed himself. In the movie, Black Adder, Hugh Laurie(House) play George and his acting brings out the stupidity that was assumed about George IV. The movie is a comedy and also stars Mr Bean.

Under Armour- Paige

*Founded 1996 Kevin Plank(a football player for Maryland)

*His idea was to make a t-shirt made from high tech fabric

*The fabric he chose was designed to wick the sweat or other moisture from the athletes body and send it to the outside of the clothing so it almost wipes off, instead of getting soaked into the clothing. (Wick- any piece of material that draws liquid up by capillary action)

*He believed the athlete could perform better if they were dry, and this fabric would regulate body temperature

*$310,000 to start his business

*November 18th, 1995- first prototype

*Set up shop in his grandmothers basement

*His first sale was to Georgia Tech University

*Shortly after, he was supplying his performance apparel to more division one football teams and over 2 dozen National Football Teams.

*After he realized that his performance wear that kept people dry, regulated their body temperature, and kept them comfortable because it was light weight, could be used by more than just athletes he decided to make a 5 product line:

-Coldgear
-Loosegear
-Turfgear
-Allseasonsgear
-Heatgear

*1998- Under Armour became the offical supplier of the Nation Football League Europe

*Under Armour supplied clothing for the movie “Any Given Sunday" and “The Replacements

Kyrgystan`s revolution of 2010, April

First I heard about it from my friend on-line. She was shoked that i did not know anything. She told me that Pres. Bekishev was accused in thieft of state level. Opposition started demonstrashions. Things turned ugly - violence, millitary and shooting. About 80 people got killed.


President escaped from his residence and was nowhere to be found.

Different sourses of news tells very different stories about who planned this revolution. Some say Russia, sother say USA..

For a fact, new goverment leader is Roza Otunbayeva. She promisses democrasy and justice. Situation is difficu;t and confusing. Mr. Bekishev shoved up in south part of Kyrgystan, where he has support of citizens. He does not want to resign, but he probably does not planning on going back to Bishkek(capital) due to how many people suffered from revolution.
