LONDON EYE
From back when the Romans pitched up at the start of the millennium but one, right up to 1999, London has served its millions of visitors badly when it comes to offering a platform from which to view the great city.
But the British Airways sponsored London Eye, billed as the world's highest observational wheel, has changed all that.

John McCain: American Hero
John McCain has the experience and preparation to lead America in dangerous times – and because of this, his perceived lack of warmth and personal charm could actually be a strength, or brand builder.
As an automobile, what else could McCain be other than a pickup truck that’s “Built Ford Tough.”
In the same way, McCain is Wrangler when it comes to jeans – rugged and durable.
Finally, McCain is a Timex – he takes a licking, but keeps on ticking.

The new teathre:
With the reopening of the teathers in 1594, Shakespeare associated with the company Lord Chamberlain joined the companion of Lord Admiral.
It is a great opportunity to Shakespeare: in just over two years will write Romeo and Juliet, the dream of a summer night, Richard II, The Merchant of Venice and The fury of the amansiment.
The government only allows the children's performances, but they end up taking a critical tone even more corrosive than those of adults.
Shakespeare criticizes this atmosphere in one of the largest tragedies that writes, Enric V, a play starring sarcastic and relaxing Shakespeare character who recovers the happy married to windsur.
Three works are for young players Adicts that in the absence of sensible men, adopting the role of boys: much ado about nothing, to taste and Night of Kings.
The 1597 forced by the owner The 1597 forced the owner of the land to abandon 'the Teather' (possibly because there they expires on leased).
On the night of Christmas 1598 takes wood the theater and move to the other side of the Thames, where to construct the globe.

Lord Chamberlain's Men ( Later The King's Men )
2. How many companies were licensed to perform in London ?
Only two. The globe and the fortune.
3. Why did Shakespeare's company build the Globe ?
Shakespeare's company only built the Globe because they couldn't use the special playhouse that their chief actor Richard Burbage's father had built for them in 1596, a roofed theatre inside the city, in Blackfriars.
4. What did Shakespeare's company use to build the Globe ?
Because without The Theatre, the company had to rent a playhouse.
Then at the end of 1598 they decided to build one for themselves
5. Who built the Globe ?
It was built by two brothers, Cuthbert and Richard Burbage, who inherited its predecessor, The Theatre, from their father, James.
6. When the Globe was built , there were two other theatres in Southwark already. Which ones ?
The Swan and The Rose
7. When was it built ?
It was probably completed by the autumn of 1599.
8. How and when was it destroyed ?
In 1613, during a performance of Henry VIII, the thatch of the Globe was accidentally set alight by a cannon, set off to mark the King's entrance onstage in a scene at Cardinal Wolsey's palace.

By June 1614 it had been rebuilt, this time with a tiled gallery roof and a circular shape.
10. When was it finally pulled down ? Why ?
It was pulled down in 1644, two years after the Puritans closed all theatres, to make way for tenement dwellings.
11. Explain how acting at the Globe was like.
Acting at the Globe was radically different from viewing modern Shakespeare on screen.
The plays were staged in the afternoons, using the light of day. Therefore, all references to weather or time of the day had to be given to the audience through the text.
