Definition of Head of state   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) A head of state or chief of state is the chief public representative of a nation-state, federation or commonwealth, whose role generally includes personifying the continuity and legitimacy of the state and exercising the political powers, functions and duties granted to the head of state in the country's constitution. In Charles de Gaulle 's words, describing the role he envisaged for the French president when he wrote the modern French constitution, a head of state should embody "the spirit of the nation" to the nation itself and to the world: une certaine idée de la France. In reality however, due to a process of constitutional evolution powers are usually exercised by a cabinet, presided over by a prime minister or President of the Government who is answerable to parliament. www.wordiq.com /definition/Head_of_state   (4035 words)

Madrid 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) There was a great old French couple (in their 70s maybe?) who were all set to trek (across the flat, spring fields near Madrid) and when the train stopped they literally just hopped off, walking sticks in hand, to hike in the general direction of Madrid. Then the real Spanish custom, where dinner is served around 10pm and the whole town (grandma and junior included) are out on the plazas hanging out until at least 11:30/midnight. Madrid had a great feel to it, though I'm sure the heat in midsummer is anything but pleasant. home.pacbell.net /orphea/Madrid.htm   (1035 words)

Palacio Real (Royal Palace)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) After Felipe II moved Spain's capital from Toledo to Madrid in 1561, the kings lived in the old alcázar of the Moors until a fire ravaged it on Christmas Eve, 1734. That Carlos III was its first occupant seems fitting, for he is the king that the madrileños affectionately call the "mayor" of Madrid because he made many improvements to the city. The large courtyard between those two long wings is called Plaza de la Armería and is bounded by the south wall of the palace, the two wings on either side and the imposing steel fence with some trees and shrubs just outside. members.aol.com /madridpicts/madpix/roypal.html   (326 words)

A manuscript from Rouen mentions "Pots de fer a traire garros a feu" in 1338 ("pots of iron to throw arrows with/of fire"). It is vase-shaped, like the cannon of de Milemete, which leads us to date it to the same period. homepages.ihug.com.au /~dispater/handgonnes.htm   (3870 words)
