SIR PHILIP BROKE - LoveToKnow Article on SIR PHILIP BROKE British rear-admiral, was born at Broke Hall, near Ipswich, on the 9th of September 1776, a member of an old Suffolk family. On the 1st of June Broke, finding his water supply getting low, wrote to Lawrence, the commander of the Chesapeake,asking for a meeting between the two ships, stating the Shannons force, and guaranteeing that no other British ship should take part in the engagement. Within fifteen minutes of the firing of thefirst shot, the Chesapeake struck her flag, but Broke himself was seriously wounded. www.1911encyclopedia.org /B/BR/BROKE_SIR_PHILIP.htm

of-human.bondage.txt Philip had been very adroit, and it was with a heavy heart that he gave up his winning; but his fingers itched to play still, and a few days later, on his way to the football field, he went into a shop and bought a pennyworth of J pens. Philip was now more comfortable, for space was so limited that there were only studies for boys in the upper school, and till then he had lived in the great hall in which they all ate and in which the lower forms did preparation in a promiscuity which was vaguely distasteful to him. Philip was still sitting on the chair she had put him in, but his head was on the table buried in his arms, and he was sobbing desperately. eserver.org /fiction/of-human.bondage.txt

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Crusades The civil wars that broke out among the Ottoman princes gave the Byzantine emperors a few years' respite, but Murad II, having re-established the Turkish power, besieged Constantinople from June to September in 1422, and John VIII, Palæologus, was compelled to pay him tribute. In 1336 King Philip VI of France, whom the pope had appointed leader of the crusade, collected a fleet at Marseilles and was preparing to go to the East when the news of the projects of Edward III caused him to return to Paris. Urged by his chancellor, Philip de Méziéres, and Pierre Thomas, the papal legate, Peter I undertook a voyage to the West (1362-65) in the hope of reviving the enthusiasm of the Christian princes. www.newadvent.org /cathen/04543c.htm

Philip the Good, Duke of Normandy Philip did not directly receive anything from this arrangement, though it did give him some feeling of revenge to know that he participated in taking away the inheritance of the man whom Philip believed to be his father’s murderer. Philip the Bold and John the Fearless appropriated lands to the north and west of France, including the regions of Flanders, Nevers, Artois, and Rethel (land which now comprises northern France and Belgium). Philip the Good’s administration saw a measure of success in his dream of ducal unity even though his vision proved elusive on the whole (Vizzier 1615). city.bryan.edu /~joanofarc/collins.htm

Sir Philip Bowes Vere Broke A second broadside from the "Shannon" was as effective as the first, and Broke, at the head of fifty or sixty men, boarded the American and succeeded in driving the survivors of the crew below, but was himself disabled for life by a blow on the head from a musket-stock.

Houghton Mifflin Electronic Publishing - Ships Of The World by Lincoln P. Paine It soon transpired that they were in fact HMS Africa (64 guns), the frigates Shannon, Guerriere (38s), Belvedira (36), and Aeolus (32), and the recently captured U.S. brig, Nautilus (12), under command of Captain Sir Philip Broke. In a remarkable 66-hour chase that began in light airs, Constitution kept out of range of the British ships by kedging ahead with her anchors, by towing with the ship's boats, and, when the wind finally came up, by what Broke described as "very superior sailing. By July 17, Constitution was off the New Jersey coast when she spotted ships that all assumed to be Rodgers's squadron. www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com /epub/ships.shtml

Space Shuttle program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A piece of debris broke off the external fuel tank on Discovery upon its July 26, 2005 launch; a similar problem is blamed for setting off the chain of events that led to Columbia's disintegration. Though debris is not thought to have damaged the Discovery orbiter (the astronauts on board used the afore-mentioned robotic arm to check for damage and none was found), NASA announced on July 27 that the shuttle fleet will be grounded until investigations are complete and the problem of foam debris is solved. In fact, any design using simple straight or fold-out wings was not going to meet the cross-range requirements, so any future design would require a more complex, heavier delta wing. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Space_shuttle

straffin.com: Going for Broke! This afternoon, Emily decided to lean over just a little to far while sitting on top of part of her playset (about seven feet off the ground.) The resulting tumble got mud in her mouth and nose and broke both of her arms. Ironically, we have 15 square yards of mulch being delivered this Saturday, much of which was going to go under the playset to refresh the fall-cushioning layer of mulch that is already there (but mostly worn away). Anyway, she's in "half-casts" right now, which basically amount to wrapped splints from her wrists to half-way up her upper arms. www.straffin.com /archives/2005/03/going_for_broke.html   (2567 words)

Gary Westfahl's Bio-Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Film: Harlan Ellison All in all, Ellison was generating enough entertaining anecdotes about the cruel, crazy film industry to keep an audience rolling in the aisles for hours, but he was otherwise managing to contribute remarkably little to science fiction television and film. Working brilliantly and with ferocious power, he has produced, among other things, several of the greatest short stories in the history of science fiction and a series of sparkling and insightful commentaries on television and film, many available in his collections The Glass Teat, The Other Glass Teat, and Harlan Ellison's Watching. I will readily concede the essence of Ellison's complaints about the film and television industry — that it is filled with studio executives, producers, directors, and actors who are talentless and unscrupulous, ready, willing, and able to transform even the finest script into a celluloid Auschwitz. www.sfsite.com /gary/elli01.htm   (2567 words)
