scant records exist of william & apos; s childhood, and virtually none regarding his education. scholars have surmised that he most likely attended the king & apos; s new school, in stratford, which taught reading, writing and the classics. being a public official & apos; s child, william would have undoubtedly qualified for free tuition. but this uncertainty regarding his education has led some to raise questions about the authorship of his work and even about whether or not william shakespeare ever existed .

he was born during the reign of queen elizabeth i, who had recently converted england to protestantism. shakespeare’s parents had been catholics, and the tension between the new and old religions can be seen in much of his work. william’s father, john shakespeare, was a member of the borough council of stratford - upon - avon. william was the third of eight children, though his two elder siblings did not survive childhood .
tradition has it that william shakespeare died on his 52nd birthday, april 23, 1616, though many scholars believe this is a myth. church records show he was interred at trinity church on april 25, 1616 .
now, just like his grandfather, william is reportedly stepping away from risky piloting. he’s also said to be increasing his royal duties, albeit remaining in the background to let his father prince charles, the heir - apparent to the throne, take a leading role. “william is believed to be acutely conscious that his emergence as a full - time royal should not overshadow his father’s role as heir to the throne, ” the times writes. while william likely always knew a time would come when he would have to shift his focus from being an air - ambulance pilot to a full - time royal, he is reportedly saddened at leaving his career behind .
“in what is described as a ‘big shift’ in prince william’s approach to his royal role, the duke will leave his job with the east anglian air ambulance this summer, ” the times reported on sunday. william will reportedly end his career as an air - ambulance helicopter pilot based in norfolk, and he and his family will officially call kensington palace their home. prince george and princess charlotte will attend school in london following the move from anmer hall .

in the last decade of the 19th century, politics came to dominate william randolph hearst & apos; s newspapers and ultimately reveal his complex political views. while his paper supported the democratic party, he opposed the party & apos; s 1896 candidate for president, william jennings bryan. in 1898, hearst pushed for war with spain to liberate cuba, which the democrats opposed. hearst’s own lavish lifestyle insulated him from the troubled masses that he seemed to champion in his newspapers .

william howard taft, the 27th president of the united states, fulfilled a lifelong dream when he was appointed chief justice of the supreme court, becoming the only person to have served as both a u. s. chief justice and president .
while it’s difficult to determine the exact chronology of william shakespeare’s plays, over the course of two decades, from about 1590 to 1613, he wrote a total of 37 plays revolving around several main themes: histories, tragedies, comedies and tragicomedies .
william shakespeare married anne hathaway on november 28, 1582, in worcester, in canterbury province. hathaway was from shottery, a small village a mile west of stratford. william was 18 and anne was 26, and, as it turns out, pregnant. their first child, a daughter they named susanna, was born on may 26, 1583. two years later, on february 2, 1585, twins hamnet and judith were born. hamnet later died of unknown causes at age 11 .

william shakespeare, also known as the
bard of avon ,
is often called england' s national poet and considered the greatest dramatist of all time. shakespeare' s works are known throughout the world, but his personal life is shrouded in mystery .
what seems to be true is that william shakespeare was a respected man of the dramatic arts who wrote plays and acted in some in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. but his reputation as a dramatic genius wasn & apos; t recognized until the 19th century. beginning with the romantic period of the early 1800s and continuing through the victorian period, acclaim and reverence for william shakespeare and his work reached its height. in the 20th century, new movements in scholarship and performance have rediscovered and adopted his works .

known throughout the world, the works of william shakespeare have been performed in countless hamlets, villages, cities and metropolises for more than 400 years. and yet, the personal history of william shakespeare is somewhat a mystery. there are two primary sources that provide historians with a basic outline of his life. one source is his work — the plays, poems and sonnets — and the other is official documentation such as church and court records. however, these only provide brief sketches of specific events in his life and provide little on the person who experienced those events .

about 150 years after his death, questions arose about the authorship of william shakespeare & apos; s plays. scholars and literary critics began to float names like christopher marlowe, edward de vere and francis bacon — men of more known backgrounds, literary accreditation, or inspiration — as the true authors of the plays. much of this stemmed from the sketchy details of shakespeare & apos; s life and the dearth of contemporary primary sources. official records from the holy trinity church and the stratford government record the existence of a william shakespeare, but none of these attest to him being an actor or playwright .
in william shakespeare & apos; s final period, he wrote several tragicomedies. among these are cymbeline, the winter & apos; s tale and the tempest. though graver in tone than the comedies, they are not the dark tragedies of king lear or macbeth because they end with reconciliation and forgiveness .
william mckinley was born january 29, 1843 in niles, ohio. following his service in the union army during the civil war under rutherford hayes, he was drawn to service in the republican party. yellow journalism at the time urged mckinley to start a war with spain, leading to an american global empire .

william mckinley was born january 29, 1843, in niles, ohio. as a young man, he briefly attended allegheny college before taking a post as a country schoolteacher. when the civil war broke out in 1861, mckinley enlisted in the union army; he eventually earned the rank of brevet major of volunteers .
mckinley won the republican presidential nomination in 1896 thanks to his congressional and gubernatorial experience, his longtime support of protectionism and the skilled maneuvering of his chief supporter, the wealthy ohio industrialist marcus alonzo hanna. in the general election, mckinley faced william jennings bryan, who ran on a platform attacking the gold standard and supporting the coinage of silver as well as gold .
as his father was now a bailiff, young william probably attended the local grammar school. its curriculum emphasised greek classics and pupils also learned plays in latin. religious education was also important, and shakespeare drew on these sources in his later work with classical and religious allusions. shakespeare probably attended school until about age 15. there is no record of him going to university .
by the early 1590s, documents show william shakespeare was a managing partner in the lord chamberlain & apos; s men, an acting company in london with which he was connected for most of his career. considered the most important troupe of its time, the company changed its name to the king & apos; s men following the crowning of king james i, in 1603 .
as editor, william randolph hearst adopted a sensational brand of reporting later known as
yellow journalism ,
with sprawling banner headlines and hyperbolic stories, many based on speculation and half - truths. about one quarter of the page space was devoted to crime stories, but the paper also conducted investigative reports on government corruption and negligence by public institutions. in a few years, circulation increased and the paper prospered .
by 1599, william shakespeare and his business partners built their own theater on the south bank of the thames river, which they called the globe. in 1605, shakespeare purchased leases of real estate near stratford for 440 pounds, which doubled in value and earned him 60 pounds a year. this made him an entrepreneur as well as an artist, and scholars believe these investments gave him the time to write his plays uninterrupted .
by the 1920s, one in every four americans read a hearst newspaper. william randolph hearst’s media empire had grown to include 20 daily and 11 sunday papers in 13 cities. he controlled the king features syndicate and the international news service, as well as six magazines, including cosmopolitan, good housekeeping and harper & apos; s bazaar. he also ventured into motion pictures with a newsreel and a film company. he and his empire were at their zenith .
in 1941, young film director orson welles produced citizen kane, a thinly veiled biography of the rise and fall of william randolph hearst. nominated for nine academy awards, the film was praised for its innovative cinematography, music and narrative structure, and has subsequently been voted one of the world’s greatest films. hearst was not pleased. he mustered his resources to prevent release of the film and even offered to pay for the destruction of all the prints. welles refused, and the film survived and thrived .
it was in william shakespeare & apos; s later period, after 1600, that he wrote the tragedies hamlet, othello, king lear and macbeth. in these, shakespeare & apos; s characters present vivid impressions of human temperament that are timeless and universal. possibly the best known of these plays is hamlet, which explores betrayal, retribution, incest and moral failure. these moral failures often drive the twists and turns of shakespeare & apos; s plots, destroying the hero and those he loves .
on april 27, 1903, william randolph hearst married 21 - year - old millicent willson, a showgirl, in new york city. it is believed the marriage was as much a political arrangement as it was an attraction to glamour for hearst. millicent’s mother reputedly ran a tammany hall–connected brothel in the city, and hearst undoubtedly saw the advantage of being well - connected to the democratic center of power in new york. millicent bore hearst five sons, all of whom followed their father into the media business .
born in san francisco, california, on april 29, 1863, william randolph hearst used his wealth and privilege to build a massive media empire. a founder of
yellow journalism ,
he was praised for his success and vilified by his enemies. at one point, he considered running for the u. s. presidency. the great depression took a toll on hearst & apos; s company and his influence gradually waned, though his company survived. hearst died in beverly hills, california, in 1951 .
fans of the crown know that william’s grandfather, prince philip, faced a similar decision after his wife became queen elizabeth ii. after they were first married, philip served in the royal navy. as king george vi & apos; s health became progressively worse, however, philip was forced to take an open - ended leave from the navy. his career officially ended when the king died, and elizabeth ascended the throne. philip became the queen’s consort, and he looked for other ways to fill his time .
he took over management of the royal estates, helped plan elizabeth’s coronation, and embarked on what would become the patronage of more than 800 charities in the following decades. he also took up flying, reportedly hoping to receive his pilot’s license faster than anyone else in history. philip’s aviation - related aspirations rankled the government. he was forced to curtail riskier in - air behaviors, which frustrated philip. although he continued to pilot planes, his situation mirrors william’s in that they both had to remain grounded when it came to putting their royal duties first .
in addition to nature, ehrlich draws his design inspiration from objects of the art nouveau and arts and crafts periods, both of which he collects. william morris is a particular favorite. “designing makes you feel connected to other creators, which is really nice, ” he says. “if you’re just collecting or if you’re just academically looking at things, you have a more analytical and maybe judgmental attitude toward it, but you don’t feel connected to the creative spirit in the same way. this takes you into a much more intimate relationship with that earlier process. ”
with the exception of the tragic love story romeo and juliet, william shakespeare & apos; s first plays were mostly histories. henry vi (parts i, ii and iii), richard ii and henry v dramatize the destructive results of weak or corrupt rulers, and have been interpreted by drama historians as shakespeare & apos; s way of justifying the origins of the tudor dynasty. julius caesar portrays upheaval in roman politics that may have resonated with viewers at a time when england’s aging monarch, queen elizabeth i, had no legitimate heir, thus creating the potential for future power struggles .
after his flameout in politics, william randolph hearst returned full - time to his publishing business. in 1917, hearst’s roving eye fell upon ziegfeld follies showgirl marion davies, and by 1919 he was openly living with her in california. that same year, hearst’s mother, phoebe, died, leaving him the family’s fortune, which included a 168, 000 - acre ranch in san simeon, california. over the next several decades, hearst spent millions of dollars expanding the property, building a baroque - style castle, filling it with european artwork, and surrounding it with exotic animals and plants .
william shakespeare & apos; s early plays were written in the conventional style of the day, with elaborate metaphors and rhetorical phrases that didn & apos; t always align naturally with the story & apos; s plot or characters. however, shakespeare was very innovative, adapting the traditional style to his own purposes and creating a freer flow of words. with only small degrees of variation, shakespeare primarily used a metrical pattern consisting of lines of unrhymed iambic pentameter, or blank verse, to compose his plays. at the same time, there are passages in all the plays that deviate from this and use forms of poetry or simple prose .
in 1900, william randolph hearst followed his father & apos; s example and entered politics. having established newspapers in several more cities, including chicago, boston and los angeles, he began his quest for the u. s. presidency, spending $ 2 million in the process. the journey didn & apos; t last long. hearst did win election to the house of representatives in 1902 and 1904. however, maintaining his media empire while also running for mayor of new york city and governor of new york left him little time to actually serve in congress. angered colleagues and voters retaliated and he lost both new york races, ending his political career .
with the success of the examiner, william randolph hearst set his sights on larger markets and his former idol, now rival, joseph pulitzer. he purchased the new york morning journal (formerly owned by pulitzer) in 1895, and a year later began publishing the evening journal. he strove to win the circulation wars by employing the same brand of journalism he had at the examiner. competition was fierce, with hearst cutting the newspaper’s price to one cent. pulitzer countered by matching that price. hearst retaliated by raiding the world ’s staff, offering higher salaries and better positions. by 1897, hearst’s two new york papers had bested pulitzer, with a combined circulation of 1. 5 million .

the series' co - creator discusses peter falk' s raincoat and his late writing partner richard levinson .
considering he' s one of the most iconic of tv characters, the brilliant, rumpled bed of a detective lt. columbo had quite an inauspicious start .
they resurrected him two years later for the play
prescription: murder ,
which starred joseph cotten as the murderer, agnes moorehead as his wife (whom he kills) and oscar - winning actor thomas mitchell (
stagecoach ,
gone with the wind
) as columbo .
at the end at the curtain calls … when mitchell came out people went crazy. dick and i looked at each other and said,' this is one of the cops we created, why is he so popular?'
and the setup was unique. audiences knew from the start whom the murderer was — in fact, the opening act would follow the murderer as he or she planned the crime and executed it. so the fun was to watch the battle of wits between columbo and the culprit, because the murderer would never guess that the quirky columbo would be smart enough to solve the case. whenever one heard him say ,
just one more thing ,
audiences knew he had gotten his man .
sealing the deal, though, was peter falk' s brilliant, multi - emmy - winning performance as the lapd detective. he transformed the character into a household name first in two tv movies: 1967' s
prescription: murder
and 1971' s
ransom for a dead man ,
then in an nbc series, which ran from 1971to' 77. it was resurrected in 1989 on abc, where it continued through 1993. falk is 82 and continued working until a few years ago .
that was falk' s own ill - fitting raincoat he wore during the run of the series, ditto the shapeless green suit and old shoes. levinson once told the press, in fact, that their show had the cheapest wardrobe outside of big bird on
sesame street .
besides
columbo ,
they created 13 more on - air series, including
murder, she wrote ,
mannix ,
mccloud ,
ellery queen
and
the bold ones .
they also wrote the groundbreaking 1972 abc tv movie
that certain summer ,
starring hal holbrook as a divorced father with a teenage son (scott jacoby) who informs his son that he is gay. martin sheen plays holbrook' s lover .
the two came up with the idea after learning that one of their gay friends at universal had been married, had a son and then came out of the closet. after having lunch with their friend ,
i said to dick,' you know there is a drama about a man who leaves his wife because he comes out of the closet but his son doesn' t know how to deal with the fact that his father is gay.' back then we could write a gay drama for broadway or off - broadway, but television was a no - no. a guy used to come to our office and say,' what do you have for abc?' we mentioned this gay father - son project and he said,' you know, i think my boss, barry diller, would be interested.'
so they took the idea to diller, who had created the movie - of - the - week concept at abc .
he said,' take a shot at it.' he loved it, but now i have to sell it to the network. we got rave reviews, but the only emmy was for the actor who played the son .
the mysteries were intellectual exercises full of twists and surprises. we had fun doing them - - as much as you can have fun under very tight television schedules and budgets and trying to get the best work out of your actors .

the challenge: many critical wildlife surveys, such as the north american breeding bird survey (bbs), are analyzed using complex hierarchical models. these models are generally multi - scale and contain random effects; the standard approaches to model selection and assessment of model fit are often inappropriate and no simple way exists to compare alternative models. however, a clear need exists ...
the challenge: over the last half of the 20th century, the breeding range of american black duck (anas rubripes) has contracted from central canada and the northeastern united states toward eastern canada. this reduction in size of the breeding range has been reflected in a steady decline of black ducks counted during winter surveys, both the midwinter waterfowl survey conducted by the u. s... .
the challenge: population status information is required for management of migratory bird populations, and structured decision making and adaptive management place additional emphasis on the need for rigorous survey designs and robust estimation methods. the north american breeding bird survey (bbs) and christmas bird count (cbc) provide continent - scale information on breeding and wintering ...
the challenge: much of wildlife research consists of the description of variation in data. some of the variation results from spatial and temporal change in populations, while some results from biologically irrelevant sampling variation induced by the process of data collection. distinguishing relevant from irrelevant variation is the first task of statistical analysis, but the job does not ...
the challenge: wildlife science and management are guided by data, and it is unquestionably the case that the greatest success occurs when good data are analyzed by good statistical methods .
the challenge: diclofenac is a non - steroidal anti - inflammatory drug that has been used by veterinarians for the treatment of inflammation, fever and pain in domestic livestock. this drug appears to have been the principal cause of a severe population crash of vultures of the genus gyps in india and pakistan. vultures unintentionally ingested diclofenac when scavenging livestock treated shortly ...
the north american breeding bird survey (bbs) provides data for > 420 bird species at multiple geographic scales over 5 decades. modern computational methods have facilitated the fitting of complex hierarchical models to these data. it is easy to propose and fit new models, but little attention has been given to model selection. here, we discuss ...
the vision of chandler (chan) s. robbins for a continental - scale omnibus survey of breeding birds led to the development of the north american breeding bird survey (bbs). chan was uniquely suited to develop the bbs. his position as a government scientist had given him experience with designing and implementing continental - scale surveys, his ...
the north american breeding bird survey (bbs) contains data for > 700 bird species, but analyses often focus on a core group of ∼420 species. we analyzed data for 122 species of north american birds for which data exist in the north american breeding bird survey (bbs) database but are not routinely analyzed on the bbs summary and analysis ...
this website presents population change information for more than 400 species of north american birds, as estimated from the north american breeding bird survey. estimates of trend (interval - specific estimates of population change), annual indices of abundance, and maps of abundance and population change for these species are presented for a...
