	Luminarium Encyclopedia: Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-1587)
		Queen Elizabeth, with the almost incredible want of tact or instinctive delicacy which distinguished Lord Robert Dudley, the widower if not the murderer of Amy Robsart; and she now protested against the project of marriage between Mary and Darnley.
		Darnley at once threw himself into the arms of the party opposed to the policy of the queen and her secretary — a policy which at that moment was doubly and trebly calculated to exasperate the fears of the religious and the pride of the patriotic.
		The queen's abdication was revoked, messengers were despatched to the English and French courts, and word was sent to Murray at Glasgow that he must resign the regency, and should be pardoned in common with all offenders against the queen.

		Queen Elizabeth II arrived Thursday for the commemoration of Jamestown's 400th anniversary and praised the cultural changes that have occurred since she last visited America's first permanent English settlement 50 years ago.
		The last time the queen helped Virginia mark the anniversary of its colonial founding, it was an all-white affair in a state whose government was in open defiance of a 1954 Supreme Court order to desegregate public schools.
		Among them was Katelyn Carney, who was shot in the hand during the massacre and presented the queen with a bracelet with 32 polished stones — one for each person slain — in the school's colors, maroon and orange.

	Mary Stuart, the Scottish Queene
		Queen Mary of Scotland arrived once again to the isle of her birth, bereft of her title to France, on a Tuesday, the nineteenth of August, 1561.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Profile \| Nariman Sadek: Egypt's last queen
		Cairo gossips pointed an accusing finger at the queen and whispered adultery, though her greatest crime was possibly not having provided a son and heir.
		The brutal British response was the massacre of an Egyptian police outpost in Ismailia, which in turn led to the burning of Cairo, the fall of the Wafdist government and, a few short months later, the abdication of Farouk and the establishment of military hegemony."
		And unlike Farida, and the princesses, and the first queen's mother, whose personalities were looked into, their interests, pastimes and passions explored, Nariman has always been a cipher: she was the commoner in royal dress, in a wedding gown laced with threads of silver and diamond studs.

		The Queen Street concept design was signed off without division by the council's Urban Strategy and Governance Committee in April, with the only rider relevant to the current controversy being that "additional vegetation opportunities … be investigated." A couple of hundred submitters were also thanked for their input in the same motion.
		That would suggest to me that (a) the relevant council officials have been (and apparently continue to be) unacceptably tardy in providing detailed design plans, and (b) that they were given authority to continue with enabling works (ie: removing selected trees in advance of their replacement).
		I walk up Queen Street every week day yet would have to say that I have paid more attention to the trendy smokers' bins attached to the lamposts than I have to the trees.

	Movie Review: The Queen
		As Queen Elizabeth, Miss Mirren exudes a solitary struggle and she is superb—but she walks on the rose petals that Frears has placed in her path.
		As the outpouring over Diana's death becomes a wave of a sorrow across the globe, Queen Elizabeth retires to her country estate, where she matter-of-factly tromps about, waiting for updates and petitions from Britain's new prime minister, Tony Blair (Michael Sheen), with whom she quietly cultivates a tacit understanding.
		Each member of the cast, from Sylvia Syms as the queen's mother (Brits call her the Queen Mum) to the delightfully wry Helen McCrory as thoroughly modern (in the best sense) Cherie Blair, is spot on.

		That’s when the largest massacre of non-military Americans in the history of this country took place, and it was lead by the Ku Klux Klan.
		Survivors we interviewed think that the whole thing was planned because during the time that all of this was going on, white families with their children stood around on the borders of the community and watched the massacre, the looting and everything—much in the same manner they would watch a lynching.
		A massacre of human life in any capacity, regardless to race is of the utmost shock to me. What irritates me most is the complete indifference for what took place, who it happened to, and why.
