 Where Are The Primordial Stars?
Population I, according to present thinking, was formed out of the "ashes" of Population-II stars.
Down the years, astronomers have been able to divide almost all stars into two groups: Population I, made up of young stars enriched by the products of their ancestors; and Population II, those relatively older ancestor stars containing more hydrogen and fewer heavier elements.
Current astrophysical theory requires "ashes" from Population III to create Population II.

The first time was as a twelve-year-old, still in schoolboy knickerbockers, when they had watched the fifth Ashes Test in February 1921, and the first batsman he saw score a half-century was England's lissom Frank Woolley.
The only possible way is to divide cricket's twentieth century into two distinct blocks - the twenty-six years before 10 November 1926, and the seventy-four years after that immortal, luminous and neon-winking date.

 washingtonpost.com: 'The Grey Zone's' Stark Divide
Once the work of the gas chambers was done, the Sonderkommando cleaned the corpses, removing hair, gold teeth and valuables, then loaded them into crematoriums and finally disposed of the ashes in a nearby river.
They were also allowed to live a few more months, after which the next Sonderkommando unit was assigned to process their corpses in a grisly ritual of complicity and intimidation.
The film stars David Arquette and Steve Buscemi as two members of the 12th Sonderkommando unit, which in October 1944 succeeded in fomenting an uprising that destroyed one crematorium and disabled another.

 Atlanta, Georgia
Among Atlanta's nicknames is "the phoenix city", as its rise from the ashes of the Civil War resembles that of a mythical phoenix.
Rainwater that falls on the south and east side runs eventually into the Atlantic Ocean while rainwater on the north and west side of the divide runs into the Gulf of Mexico.
The city is a major cable television programming source; the CNN Center headquarters of the Cable News Network is in Atlanta, where it was founded, and The Weather Channel broadcasts from just outside of town.

 BBC News ASIA-PACIFIC Burma's opposition slowly rises from ashes
The divide between the NLD inside Burma and the opposition groups outside the country, like the National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma (NCGUB), is even more stark.
The National League for Democracy (NLD) is trying to prepare the ground for it to function as a vibrant political party when Burma eventually gains full political freedom.
Allowing the NLD to function is all part of the dialogue process.

But The Great War was not, as President Woodrow Wilson hoped, “the war to end all wars.” World War II rose from its ashes, and millions more died to stop the mad dreams of dictators from 1939 to 1945.

 The United Australian Lebanese Movement
Like Solh, Maalouf was a lawyer by profession, drawn into politics by patriotism and a passion for Arab nationalism, defying both sides of the Lebanese political divide that surfaced after the proclamation of Greater Lebanon on July 1, 1920.
But for those who lived through the birth of the republic from the ashes of the oppressive Ottoman rule and the French mandate, Solh was a rare visionary who succeeded in fusing the conflicting allegiances of Lebanon’s fractious communities toward a single goal: an independent, sovereign state.
One such contemporary is Nasri Maalouf, whose recollections of the Solh era resonate with the tantalizing thought that if we had someone of his stature around today perhaps the country would be able, once again, to eliminate the divisions that plague it now.

 Hero Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
"Hero" is most reminiscent of Wong Kar-wai's "Ashes of Time (Dung che sai duk)", as it mixes emotional introspection with artful imagery, from the constant billowing of hair and clothing to the sight of magnificent sun-swept vistas.
However, as Nameless begins to recount his story about how he used a love triangle between the three assassins to divide and conquer them, Qin begins to see holes in the account, and senses that Nameless is not what he appears to be.
"Hero" begins with the arrival of a nameless warrior (Jet Li of "Kiss of the Dragon") at the palace of King Qin (Chen Daoming).

 Draggin' Slayer: Shakespeare: King Henry VI, Part 1
CHARLES 'Tis Joan, not we, by whom the day is won; For which I will divide my crown with her, And all the priests and friars in my realm Shall in procession sing her endless praise.
A statelier pyramis to her I'll rear Than Rhodope's or Memphis' ever was: In memory of her when she is dead, Her ashes, in an urn more precious Than the rich-jewel'd of Darius, Transported shall be at high festivals Before the kings and queens of France.
CHARLES Let's leave this town; for they are hare-brain'd slaves, And hunger will enforce them to be more eager: Of old I know them; rather with their teeth The walls they'll tear down than forsake the siege.

 rediff.com: cricket channel - The Daniel Laidlaw column
That season, Gilchrist was a recognisable protagonist in the controversial divide of Australia's Test and one-day teams, when the selectors began choosing players solely on their respective Test and ODI merits.
He is serviceable, and learning - Gilchrist had a horrible start to the Ashes series as he surprisingly struggled with the unfamiliar swing of the ball.
Gilchrist's first real failures were to follow, though, as he experienced a result other than victory for the first time in his 16th Test.
