    In the year 1433, The Ming Dynasty in China disbands their naval fleet after the last great maritime expedition led by Admiral Zheng He, altering the balance of power in the Indian Ocean and making it easier for Portugal and other Western naval powers to gain dominance over the seas.

    In 1434, Gavin Menzies offers a stunning reappraisal of history, presenting compelling new evidence on the European Renaissance, tracing its roots to China
    In this provocative, highly readable history, Gavin Menzies makes the startling argument that China provided the spark that set the Renaissance ablaze.

    Greetings Woopert - precipitation this morning - Voice Hair and to top it off thigh boots perchance ? ATB

    1437 Diomedes is a large 164 km Jupiter trojan asteroid that orbits in the L4 Lagrangian point of the Sun–Jupiter system, in the "Greek Camp" of Trojan asteroids. Based on IRAS data, Diomedes is 164 km in diameter and is the 3rd largest Jupiter Trojan.[3] It was named after the Greek hero Diomedes. It was discovered by Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth on August 3, 1937, in Heidelberg, Germany.[1]

    Jan 1st, 1438 - Albrecht II von Habsburg becomes king of Hungary

    Mar 18th - Albrecht II von Habsburg becomes king of Germany

    Greedy devil, old Albrecht II. He must have been very 'hungary' for power, to take over Germany two and a half months later :eek:

    The 1440 Society at Eton College meet frequently throughout the year at networking events including breakfasts, lunches and dinners featuring an interesting speaker on a variety of subjects: the arts, business, politics, sport, science and technology.

    Currently there are over 200 members and it is the society’s aim to attract 1,440 members which would see over £2million raised for Eton each year.

    1441-CWH - its a sink
    A more traditional vessel shape, the 1441 can work in many settings. With its smaller diameter it can fit in many applications. While its rounded form gives it a natural and accessible design sensibility.

    Congratulations Grandad enjoy your family weekend - I'll keep it ticking over till you get back

    IBM 1442 was a combination IBM card reader and card punch. It read and punched 80-column IBM-format punched cards and was used on the IBM 1440, the IBM 1130, the IBM 1800 and System/360 and was an option on the IBM System/3. The 1442 could read up to 400 cards per minute. Cards were read and punched one column at a time and binary cards were permitted. Cards were read using photocells, illuminated by fiber optics, unlike the IBM 1402, which still used wire brushes to read cards. It was even possible to create (but not read) "IBM Doilies," cards with every possible hole punched. Few other pieces of IBM equipment could do this without sustaining damage.

    There were two output hoppers, or stackers, located in the photo on the left lower side. One could program to select the output hopper for each card read, so it was possible to read cards and separate them into two groups. Cards were placed in the top hopper ("face down, nine-edge leading") and a plate was added on the top of the cards. They were read thru and came out to one of the left lower hoppers.

    The 1442 did not print on the top of the cards; it just punched what characters the columns contained. An older unit record machine, the IBM 557 interpreter, could be used off-line for this function.

    ANGEL NUMBER 1443
    Number 1443 is a combination of the vibrations of number 1 and the attributes of number 4 appearing twice, amplifying its influences, and the energies of number 3.

    "Anorak Corner" I resemble that slur.]

    Richard, Duke of York, as Viceroy of Ireland. 1447-1460; Richard Plantagenet Duke of York was a much loved viceroy of Ireland "this race both English and Irish love to be governed by such persons" this was never more true as him.

    Welcome back Woopert a fine family weekend I trust - just been swimming don't know why I bother just makes me feel unfit - as to starting this thread on the Saints board I fear it would last but microseconds with you know who closing no sooner had it appeared ATB

    2010 J. Runquist "1448" California Red Wine
    SKU #1088163
    Sometimes there's too much good fruit to go around. After production needs are met for their single vineyard wines, Runquist assembles the best lots together to make the 1448 "house" cuvée, named after the winery's elevation in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The exact blend varies from vintage to vintage (depending on the whims of Mother Nature) but is typically based on Petite Sirah (about half) with smaller portions of Barbera , Petit Verdot, Zinfandel, Syrah, Carignane, and other estate grown varietals. The objective is a rich, fruit-driven, food-friendly wine meant to be enjoyed with good food and company. The 2010 exhibits intense ripe black and red fruit flavors, layers of creamy vanilla and spicy oak, and a smooth chocolatey finish. Enjoy with hearty, seasoned, stick-to-your-ribs fare: a cheeseburger piled high, barbecued ribs with smokey sauce, or lamb kebabs.
