bull 2) I saw a mountldquo is the most widespread belief but is rejected by the majority of experts who consider it unlikely because it involves a mix of dialects

bull 3) a less widespread hypothesis of a religious origin stems from an interpolation in the Diario de Navegacioacuten of Fernando de Albo where it is asserted and referred to the hat-like mount which they named Mount Y Saint Ovidius was the third bishop of the Portuguese city of Braga where he was always revered a monument to him was erected there in 1505 Given the relationship that the Portuguese had with the discovery of this city there is no conclusive evidence though to the root of the word of the name of this city

CAPITAL CITIES

bull There are several explanations about the name of this city All agree that ldquoXldquo(first part of the name) refers to the hill situated across the Bay of _________ but there is disagreement about the etymological origin of the ldquoYldquo(the second part) part

bull Some of the possible etymological roots are given belowhellipbull 1) This hypothesis comes from the Diario de Navegacioacuten (Navigational Calendar) of boatswain Francisco de Albo member of the expedition of Fernando de Magellans who wrote we were on the straits of Cape Santa Maria from where the coast runs east to west and the terrain is sandy and at the right of the cape there is a mountain like a hat to which we gave the name ldquo_________ This is the oldest document that mentions the promontory with a name similar to the one that designates the city

bull 2) I saw a mountldquo is the most widespread belief but is rejected by the majority of experts who consider it unlikely because it involves a mix of dialects

2nd Set

1bull Cricket at the X began in 1882 when the Pickwick Cricket Club assumed

formal ownership of the ground The first international match held was in 1895 when Slade Lucas side visited the island The first Test match was held in January 1930 The stands of the X were extensively rebuilt in a (US$45 Million) redevelopment Demolition of the old stadium began on schedule in June 2005 after completion of the first Test against Pakistan The names of the former stands which made up the stadium were the George Challenor stand the Hall and Griffith the X the Mitchie Hewitt the Pickwick and the Three Ws stand plus the Peter Short Media Centre Most of these names have been retained

bull There are two more stadiums with the same name in different parts of the world

bull One in Adelaide and one in Dunedin NZ

2bull Who is Mourinho in his usual style referring to in mid May 2014-bull I listened to the interview there was nothing critical in what he said When the comments come from a player like X its normal because hes not the kind of player to sacrifice himself for the team

bull Normally you get these kind of comments from players like him from players that cant resolve a problem like in the first goal

bull ldquoX is the kind of player who is not so mentally ready to look back to his left-back and to leave his life for him

bull If you see the first goal of Atletico you completely understand where the mistake was and why the goal was conceded

bull The perfect team at the top level cannot make these kinds of mistakes

bull In the context of the Great Game between the British and Russian Empires for control of Central Asia he held deep mistrust of Russian intentions This led him to encourage British trade in Persia and he paid a visit to the Persian Gulf in 1903 Y argued for an exclusive British presence in the Gulf a policy originally proposed by John Malcolm The British government was already making agreements with local sheikhstribal leaders along the Persian Gulf coast to this end Y had convinced his government to establish Britain as the unofficial protector of Kuwait with the Anglo-Kuwaiti Agreement of 1899 The Lansdowne Declaration in 1903 stated that the British would counter any other European powers attempt to establish a military presence in the Gulf Only four years later this position was abandoned and the Persian Gulf declared a neutral zone in the Anglo-Russian Agreement of 1907 prompted in part by the high economic cost of defending India from Russian advances

bull At the end of 1903 Y sent a British expedition to Tibet under Francis Young husband ostensibly to forestall a Russian advance After bloody conflicts with Tibets poorly armed defenders the mission penetrated to Lhasa where a treaty was signed in September 1904 No Russian presence was found in Lhasa

bull 2) I saw a mountldquo is the most widespread belief but is rejected by the majority of experts who consider it unlikely because it involves a mix of dialects

bull 3) a less widespread hypothesis of a religious origin stems from an interpolation in the Diario de Navegacioacuten of Fernando de Albo where it is asserted and referred to the hat-like mount which they named Mount Y Saint Ovidius was the third bishop of the Portuguese city of Braga where he was always revered a monument to him was erected there in 1505 Given the relationship that the Portuguese had with the discovery of this city there is no conclusive evidence though to the root of the word of the name of this city

bull There are several explanations about the name of this city All agree that ldquoXldquo(first part of the name) refers to the hill situated across the Bay of _________ but there is disagreement about the etymological origin of the ldquoYldquo(the second part) part

bull Some of the possible etymological roots are given belowhellipbull 1) This hypothesis comes from the Diario de Navegacioacuten (Navigational Calendar) of boatswain Francisco de Albo member of the expedition of Fernando de Magellans who wrote we were on the straits of Cape Santa Maria from where the coast runs east to west and the terrain is sandy and at the right of the cape there is a mountain like a hat to which we gave the name ldquo_________ This is the oldest document that mentions the promontory with a name similar to the one that designates the city

bull 2) I saw a mountldquo is the most widespread belief but is rejected by the majority of experts who consider it unlikely because it involves a mix of dialects

bull 3) a less widespread hypothesis of a religious origin stems from an interpolation in the Diario de Navegacioacuten of Fernando de Albo where it is asserted and referred to the hat-like mount which they named Mount Y Saint Ovidius was the third bishop of the Portuguese city of Braga where he was always revered a monument to him was erected there in 1505 Given the relationship that the Portuguese had with the discovery of this city there is no conclusive evidence though to the root of the word of the name of this city

2bull Who is Mourinho in his usual style referring to in mid May 2014-bull I listened to the interview there was nothing critical in what he said When the comments come from a player like X its normal because hes not the kind of player to sacrifice himself for the team

bull ldquoX is the kind of player who is not so mentally ready to look back to his left-back and to leave his life for him

bull At the end of 1903 Y sent a British expedition to Tibet under Francis Young husband ostensibly to forestall a Russian advance After bloody conflicts with Tibets poorly armed defenders the mission penetrated to Lhasa where a treaty was signed in September 1904 No Russian presence was found in Lhasa
