RICHARD III of ENGLAND - WikiVidi Documentary
Richard III was King of England from 1483 until his death in 1485, at the age of 32, in the Battle of Bosworth Field. He was the last king of the House of York and the last of the Plantagenet dynasty. His defeat at Bosworth Field, the last decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses, marked the end of the Middle Ages in England. He is the subject of the historical play Richard III by William Shakespeare. When his brother King Edward IV died in April 1483, Richard was named Lord Protector of the realm for Edward's eldest son and successor, the 12-year-old Edward V. Arrangements were made for Edward's coronation on 22 June 1483; but, before the young king could be crowned, the marriage of his parents was declared bigamous and therefore invalid, making their children officially illegitimate and thus barring them from inheriting the throne. On 25 June, an assembly of Lords and commoners endorsed a declaration to this effect and proclaimed Richard the rightful king. The following day, Richar...

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only published novel by Oscar Wilde. The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Basil is impressed by Dorian's beauty and becomes infatuated with him, believing his beauty is responsible for a new mode in his art. Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil's, and becomes enthralled by Lord Henry's world view. Espousing a new hedonism, Lord Henry suggests the only things worth pursuing in life are beauty and fulfillment of the senses. Realizing that one day his beauty will fade, Dorian (whimsically) expresses a desire to sell his soul to ensure the portrait Basil has painted would age rather than himself. Dorian's wish is fulfilled, plunging him into debauched acts. The portrait serves as a reminder of the effect each act has upon his soul, with each sin displayed as a disfigurement of his form, or through a sign of aging. The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered a work of classic gothic fiction with a strong Faustian theme.

SUMMARY
=======
The Hanseatic League (; Middle Low German: Hanse, Düdesche Hanse, Hansa; Standard German: Deutsche Hanse; Standard
Dutch: De Hanze; Latin: Hansa Teutonica) was a commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market towns in Northwestern and Central Europe. Growing from a few North German towns in the late 1100s, the league came to dominate Baltic maritime trade for three centuries along the coasts of Northern Europe. Hansa territories stretched from the Baltic to the North Sea and inland during the Late Middle Ages, and diminished slowly after 1450.
Hanse, later spelled as Hansa, was the Old High German word for a convoy, and this word was applied to bands of merchants traveling between the Hanseatic cities – whether by land or by sea.Merchant circles established the league to protect the guilds' economic interests and diplomatic privileges in their affiliated cities and countries, as well as along the trade routes which the merchants used. The Hanseatic cities had their own legal system and operated their own armies for mutual protection and aid. Despite this, the organization was not a state, nor could it be called a confederation of city-states; only a very small number of the cities within the league enjoyed autonomy and liberties comparable to those of a free imperial city.

Friday Sermon: Waqfe Jadid: 6th January 2017
Friday Sermon delivered by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
Recorded on 6th January 2017.
In his Friday Sermon, Huzoor(aba) said that people spend their wealth for various purposes in this world. Today, there is only one community who is spending their wealth for one religious goal throughout the world. This is the community of the Promised Messiah(as) who is spending its wealth for the sake of Islam. The reason is that the Promised Messiah(as) gave his community the true understanding of financial sacrifices in the way of Allah. The Promised Messiah(as) at one point stated that I urge you again and again to sacrifice your wealth. This is per the commandment of Allah. Islam at this time is oppressed and being attacked. When such is the case, should we not make efforts for the sake of Islam? This is the reason that Allah established this Jama’at. It is the promise of Allah that whosoever sacrifices his wealth, Allah will bless him greatly in the world and he will see his reward in the hereafter. Huzoor(aba) said that surely the companions of the Promised Messiah(as) understood the concept of financial sacrifices and have been mentioned various times by the Promised Messiah(as). And it is astonishing to see how the new comers are also sacrificing greatly in this way. They are following this teaching of the Holy Quran that these are such people who spend their wealth to attain the pleasure of Allah. Huzoor(aba) said that the sacrifices of poor people bring great fruits for Jama’at and the world is left astounded how we are able to achieve so much with such limited resources. If the purpose is to achieve the pleasure of God, then the blessings are plenty as well. Huzoor(aba) presented various examples and incidents of financial sacrifices of Ahmadis of various countries that how Ahmadis are reaping the blessings of Allah through financial sacrifices. Huzoor(aba) said that we are seeing every day that Allah is granting new people to the community of the Promised Messiah(as) who are increasing in financial sacrifices. This is also a moment of reflection for those Ahmadis who, despite being prosperous and living in developed countries, do not actively participate in financial sacrifices. Huzoor(aba) said that such people should present financial sacrifices and should seek to increase them. Then Huzoor(aba) said that as per usual custom, today I’m announcing the 60th year of Waqf-e-Jadid. The total income of this year was 8 million, 20 thousand pounds which was 12 thousand more than the previous year. Pakistan held its first position, followed by UK, Germany, America, Canada, India, Australia, a Middle-Eastern Jama’at, Indonesia, another Middle-Eastern Jama’at and Ghana at the 10th position. A total of 1,340,000 participated in Waqf-e-Jadid which was 105,000 more than the previous year. Huzoor(aba) prayed that may Allah accept the sacrifices of all Ahmadis and may he enable us and all Ahmadis to further increase in our financial sacrifices in the way of Allah. Ameen. At the end, Huzoor(aba) announced the funeral prayer in absentia of 2 individuals. Mukarramah Asma Tahira Sahiba of Canada Jama’at who was an Aunt of Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih V(aba) and Mukarram Chaudhry Hameed Nasrullah Khan Sahib of Lahore, Pakistan, who served Jama’at in various capacities for an extensive period. Huzoor(aba) mentioned a few of their many admirable qualities.

SUMMARY
=======
Adelaide ( (listen) AD-ə-layd) is the capital city of the state of South Australia, and the fifth-most populous city of Australia. Adelaide is home to 77 percent of the South Australian population, making it the most centralised population of any state in Australia.
Adelaide is north of the Fleurieu Peninsula, on the Adelaide Plains between the Gulf St Vincent in the west and the low-lying Mount Lofty Ranges in the east. Adelaide stretches 20 km (12 mi) from the coast to the foothills, and 94 to 104 km (58 to 65 mi) from Gawler at its northern extent to Sellicks Beach in the south.
Named in honour of Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, queen consort to King William IV, the city was founded in 1836 as the planned capital for a freely-settled British province in Australia. Colonel William Light, one of Adelaide's founding fathers, designed the city centre and chose its location close to the River Torrens, in the area originally inhabited by the Kaurna people and known as Tarntanya or Tarndanyangga (place of the red kangaroo). Light's design set out the city centre in a grid layout, interspaced by wide boulevards and large public squares, and entirely surrounded by parklands.
Early colonial Adelaide was shaped by prosperity and wealth, and was one of the few Australian cities without a convict history. Until the post-war era, it was Australia's third-largest city. It has been noted for early examples of religious freedom, a commitment to political progressivism and civil liberties. It has been known as the City of Churches since the mid-19th century, referring to its diversity of faiths. As South Australia's government and commercial centre, Adelaide is the site of many governmental and financial institutions. Most of these are concentrated in the city centre along the cultural boulevard of North Terrace, King William Street and in various districts of the metropolitan area.
Adelaide is noted for its many festivals and sporting events, its food and wine, its long beachfronts, and its large defence and manufacturing sectors. Its quality of life has ranked highly in various measures through the 2010s. The demonym Adelaidean is used in reference to the city and its residents.

SUMMARY

Norfolk Island (, locally ; Norfuk: Norf'k Ailen) is a small island in the Pacific Ocean located between Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia, 1,412 kilometres (877 mi) directly east of mainland Australia's Evans Head, and about 900 kilometres (560 mi) from Lord Howe Island. Together with the two neighbouring islands Phillip Island and Nepean Island it forms one of the Commonwealth of Australia's external territories. At the 2016 Australian census, it had 1748 inhabitants living on a total area of about 35 km2 (14 sq mi). Its capital is Kingston.
The first settlers in Norfolk Island were East Polynesians but they were long gone when Great Britain settled it as part of its 1788 settlement of Australia. The island served as a convict penal settlement from 6 March 1788 until 5 May 1855, except for an 11-year hiatus between 15 February 1814 and 6 June 1825, when it lay abandoned. On 8 June 1856, permanent civilian residence on the island began when it was settled from Pitcairn Island. In 1914 the UK handed Norfolk Island over to Australia to administer as an external territory.The evergreen Norfolk Island pine is a symbol of the island and is pictured on its flag. Native to the island, the pine is a key export for Norfolk Island, being a popular ornamental tree on mainland Australia, (where two related species grow), and also worldwide.
