  Old Major - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Old Major is the first major character described by Orwell in Animal Farm.
Old Major proposes a solution to the animals' desperate plight under the Jones "administration" (the Joneses represent the tsar and autocracy) when he inspires a rebellion of sorts among the animals.
Old Major resurfaces late in the novel, when his skull is dug up and mounted outside the barn (based on the establishment of Lenin's Mausoleum) as one of Napoleon's last-ditch efforts to improve morale.

 Greek Old Calendarists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greek Old Calendarists (Greek: Παλαιοημερολογίτες, Paleoimerologites) are groups that separated from the Orthodox Church of Greece or from the Patriarchate of Constantinople, precipitated by disagreement over the retention of the Julian Calendar.
By 1937, the number of Old Calendarist Bishops had been reduced to four, and the movement split within itself over the question of whether or not Orthodox jurisdictions that had adopted the modified Gregorian Calendar were still Orthodox.
The Old Calendarists went their own way without further recognition from the broader Orthodox communion until 1960, when the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) consecrated new Bishops for one of the two major Old Calendarist jurisdictions.

 Commentary on Old Major's speech
Old Major makes each individual feel a sense of belonging to a movement or organisation or group and he does this by stating names.
Old Major had a slogan, which every animal followed and that was 'two legs bad, four legs good' and 'all animals are equal.' Additionally Old Major concocts a music that is catchy to the animals and it was called 'Beasts of England.' The animals sang this.
Old Major had employed about 25 points on the art of persuasion in public speaking and he also put a point across.

The prophet of the Animal Revolution, Old Major, would definitely have put his hoof in his mouth if he was able to see what his ideology had degraded.
As a spellbinding orator and lawgiver, it was old Major who put the idea of a rebellion into the heads of the animals with a clever appeal backed by sincerity.
Old Major, when reflecting back, would have realized that although he changed the conditions of life with his ideas, his followers- the pigs, had perverted these ideas to their own advantages and to the enslavement and oppression of the masses.

 SparkNotes: Animal Farm: Analysis of Major Characters
Major, who represents both Marx and Lenin, serves as the source of the ideals that the animals continue to uphold even after their pig leaders have betrayed them.
Though his portrayal of Old Major is largely positive, Orwell does include a few small ironies that allow the reader to question the venerable pig’s motives.
For instance, in the midst of his long litany of complaints about how the animals have been treated by human beings, Old Major is forced to concede that his own life has been long, full, and free from the terrors he has vividly sketched for his rapt audience.

The old major, despite his stern and disciplined ways, felt sorry for the bird, and gently encouraged it with soft words and pieces of fruit.

Finally the old major flipped into battleground management mode; he grabbed the bird, clamped his hands around its beak, and thrust the struggling, swearing parrot, into the top drawer of the freezer, slamming the door tightly shut.

The numbers seem to get better every year: invest in a new kitchen or re-side your house, and you'll be able to recoup most, if not all, of the expense.
The reverse is more likely to be true in a historic neighborhood where most of the houses retain their original wood cladding: Strip away old aluminum, restore the original siding, and you've automatically increased its resale value.
Attention to landscaping-typically one of the last major projects old house owners tackle-will pay off even if the improvements don't measurably increase the value of your home, says Berkeley, California, restoration architect Rachel Hamilton.

 U.S. Stamps Honoring Old Major League Parks Arouse Fond Memories Baseball Digest - Find Articles
Old versions of arenas still in use--such as Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park and Wrigley Field--are also featured on three other stamps, while Sportsman's Park, which once had joint occupants in the St. Louis Cardinals and Browns, is displayed on the stamps' cover folder.
In looking at copies of the stamps, I found myself thinking of the times I spent covering games at these parks, punching out typewritten stories in quaint press boxes, watching on-field dramas unfold, and talking with the players before and after their battles were won or lost.
The majors seemed so rich in talent in those days of the 1950s and 1960s, perhaps because that talent was compressed into fewer teams.
