1. Chad Michael Murray -- Freaky Friday
   Chad Michael Murray's been making waves on the big screen as well, having appeared opposite Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday. Chad has gone on to share the screen with a few more hot, young actresses in the flicks - A Cinderella Story with Hilary Duff and House of Wax with Elisha Cuthbert and Paris Hilton!
2. Fertile Crescent
   The key to agriculture in Iraq and Syria - the eastern edge of the Fertile Crescent - is the great Euphrates River. Nearly 2,000 miles long, with an average annual flow of 1.024 billion cubic feet, the Euphrates rises in Turkey, crosses northeast Syria and, joining the Tigris River, flows south into the Gulf. Enroute it irrigates the alluvial plain between the lower waters of the Euphrates and the Tigris, site of the ancient fluvial civilizations of Mesopotamia - a word meaning "between the rivers." In ancient times the development of agriculture was swift and by the time Babylon reached its peak, crops were rich and abundant. As Theophrastus observed, "Wheat fields are regularly mown twice, and then fed off with beasts to keep down the luxuriance."
3. Armageddon -- Battles
   The upside of battle of Armageddon is that humanity will finally experience peace on Earth which will last for almost 1000 years. The battle will be a spiritual cleansing of the world preparing people for a new kind of sattvik world which will radically differ from the old one. In a way, this will be an ushering of a mini Satyayuga within the main era of Kaliyuga. While it will be nothing compared to the sattvikta of the main era of Satyayuga (at the beginning of the Universe), it will be a period of immense spiritual renewal for mankind.
4. Michael York -- Roles
   Michael York's resumé would make most entertainers envious. As an actor, his movie roles include parts in Austin Powers, Caberet, Something for Everyone, and The Three Musketeers. On television, he has been cast in The Heat of the Day, Great Expectations, as well as A Knight in Camelot. But these say little about his extensive theatrical endeavors.
5. List of Battles -- Civil War
   The problem of determining a list of approved battles and campaigns remained. The Historical Section of the Army War College was given the task to resolve this contentious issue. By April 1921, a revised and expanded list of battles and campaigns was published. There were 94 identified: 13 for the First World War; 10 for the Philippine Insurrection; three for the Spanish-American War; 13 for the Indian Wars; 25 for the Civil War; 10 for the Mexican War; six for the War of 1812; and 11 for the War of Independence. In many cases, battles and engagements previously claimed as separate events by units were grouped together into a single campaign and given a broad descriptive name and date. However, there were exceptions to this rule.
6. Armageddon
   The second invasion of Armageddon was a massive force of Orks in M40.941 led by the mighty Warboss Ghazkull Mag Uruk Thraka. The Overlord of the planet, Herman von Strab, was completely unprepared for the attack, and his own pride and incompetence only made matters worse. Eventually, the defense of the planet was taken over by Commander Dante of the Blood Angels. During the war, an Imperial Commissar named Yarrick, who had been exiled by Von Strab to Hades Hive, led a heroic defense of the hive that eventually distracted Ghazkull, infuriating him enough to sent more and more forces against Hades Hive. The battle escalated to such proportions that Ghazkull considered the fight a matter of personal pride, and took command of the forces of Hades himself, blinding him to the other battles on the world. Although the hive eventually fell, the distraction gave the Imperial forces enough time to mount a counterattack that finally broke the back of the Ork invasion force.
7. Chad Michael Murray
   Chad Michael Murray (born August 24, 1981) is an American actor, former male fashion model and teen idol. Biography Early life Murray was born in Buffalo, New York; he has Three sisters (Brittany, Kristy and Jamey). He attended South Fork High School in his hometown of Clarence, NY.

8. Book of Deuteronomy -- People
   THIS book contains an account of what passed in the wilderness the last month of the fortieth year, which is supposed to be written by Ezra, as the history is continued several days after the death of Moses. Moses' farewell address to the children of Israel is full of wisdom, with a touch of pathos. This had been a melancholy year with the Hebrews in the death of Miriam, Aaron and Moses. The manner in which this people were kept wandering up and down on the very verge of the land of Canaan because they were rebellious does seem like child's play. No wonder they were discouraged and murmured. It is difficult from the record to see that these people were any better fitted to enter the promised land at the end of forty years than when they first left Egypt.
9. First Battalion
   The First Battalion was reactivated 8 March 1946 at Tsingtao, China, and assigned to the 6th Marine Division. It participated in the occupation of North China, March to September 1946. Then reassigned during April 1946 to the 3rd Marine Brigade. Reassigned during June 1946 to the 1st Marine Division and relocated during September 1946 to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and reassigned to the 2nd Marine Division. Deactivated 18 November 1947.
10. Kingdom of Israel -- Northern Kingdom
    [A]t the time of Amos, King Jeroboam II had ruled the Northern Kingdom (Israel) for 41 years and under him Israel had reached political and military heights and peace and prosperity unknown since the time of Solomon. Read a brief history of the Northern Kingdomat the Quartz Hill Online Theology site to understand how this situation had come about. The kings of the North get a very bad press in scripture and are usually judged to have ‘done what is displeasing to the Lord’. Jeroboam II is no exception (2Kings 14:24). The short article from Quartz Hill makes the good point that the scriptural history of the Northern Kingdom was written from the point of view of the deuteronomical writers, who were inevitably scornful of the infidelities of the Northern kings. However, the Northern Kingdom was exposed to much greater temptations to participate in pagan religion and cult, and Jerusalem and the Southern Kingdom, while economically poorer, remained the bastion of religious orthodoxy.
