text: A province is almost always an administrative division, within a country or state. The term derives from the ancient Roman "provincia", which was the major territorial and administrative unit of the Roman Empire's territorial possessions outside Italy. The term province has since been adopted by many countries, and in those with no actual provinces, it has come to mean "outside the capital city". While some provinces were produced artificially by colonial powers, others were formed around local groups with their own ethnic identities. Many have their own powers independent of federal authority, especially in Canada. In other countries, like China, provinces are the creation of central government, with very little autonomy.

text: The 1994 Asian Games also known as XII Asiad were held from October 2 to October 16, 1994, in Hiroshima, Japan. The main theme of this edition was to promote peace and harmony among Asian nations. It was emphasized by the host because the venue was the site of the first atomic bomb attack 49 years earlier. Due to the 1991 Gulf War, Iraq was suspended from the games.

text: World War I (WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War, or the Great War, was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history. Over nine million combatants and seven million civilians died as a result of the war (including the victims of a number of genocides), a casualty rate exacerbated by the belligerents' technological and industrial sophistication, and the tactical stalemate caused by gruelling trench warfare. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history, and paved the way for major political changes, including revolutions in many of the nations involved.

The AAF were a component of the United States Army, which in 1942 was divided functionally by executive order into three autonomous forces: the Army Ground Forces, the Services of Supply (which in 1943 became the Army Service Forces), and the Army Air Forces. Each of these forces had a commanding general who reported directly to the Army Chief of Staff.

text: World War II (often abbreviated to WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nationsincluding all of the great powerseventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (in which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centres (in which approximately one million were killed, and which included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history.

text: The Two Ronnies Sketchbook was a collection of classic sketches from the BBC comedy series The Two Ronnies , with newly filmed introductions by the stars , Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett . It was broadcast 34 years after the first ever episode of The Two Ronnies was aired and 18 years after the final episode aired . The show came about following the BBC 's broadcast of Ronnie Barker : A Bafta Tribute in February 2004 , a show which gained a large audience ( 7.2 million ) , proving there was still great interest in Barker 's comedy work . The BAFTA lifetime achievement award was presented to Barker by Ronnie Corbett , and the two proved they still had great chemistry . Six hour - long episodes of The Two Ronnies Sketchbook aired on BBC 1 in March and April 2005 . It saw the Two Ronnies back behind their famous news desk , introducing some of their favourite sketches and re-reading some of the classic news items that began and ended every episode of The Two Ronnies . Much was made of the fact that the sketches chosen were shown in their entirety . Each week an episode of the classic Spike Milligan - scripted serial The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town was shown , and each episode featured a new performance by a popular singer . The sketches chosen were considered true classics - the short - sighted optician , ' Nuts m'lord ' , the Mastermind spoof ( Specialist subject : Answering the Question Before Last ) , and , the sketch voted the nation 's favourite , Four Candles ( The Two Ronnies left this last sketch until the very end of the sixth episode , pretending they had forgotten about it ) . The newly recorded introductions provided an opportunity for plenty of good - humoured banter between the pair . The show was met with approval from audiences - 7.9 million tuning in for the opening episode , with many of them too young to have seen The Two Ronnies when it was first broadcast . Ronnie Corbett later said that Ronnie Barker was `` delighted that the Two Ronnies Sketchbook had gone so well , bringing us to a new generation of audiences '' . This proved to be Barker 's final television work . He appeared frail and had lost a lot of weight , and it later became clear that he had been very unwell with a heart condition whilst filming the show . However , he was determined to record one final Christmas special of The Two Ronnies , and so , on 5 July 2005 , The Two Ronnies Christmas Sketchbook was recorded . It was broadcast on Christmas Day of the same year , two months after Barker 's death ( Ronnie Corbett paid tribute to him in a specially recorded introduction to the show ) , and saw the pair introduce their favourite sketches from their Christmas shows . Again , the show was a rousing success , and - with 7.93 million viewers - was the fourth most watched programme on Christmas Day .

text: A double act, also known as a comedy duo, is a comic pairing in which humor is derived from the uneven relationship between two partners, usually of the same gender, age, ethnic origin and profession but drastically different in terms of personality or behavior. Often one of the members of the duothe straight man, feed, dead wood, or stoogeis portrayed as reasonable and serious, while the other onethe funny man, banana man or comicis portrayed as funny, less educated or less intelligent, silly, or unorthodox. If the audience identifies primarily with one character, the other will often be referred to as a comic foil. The term "feed" comes from the way a straight man is wont to set up jokes and "feed" them to his partner.

Buskerud is a county in Norway, bordering Akershus, Oslo, Oppland, Sogn og Fjordane, Hordaland, Telemark and Vestfold. The county extends from the Oslofjord and Drammensfjorden in the southeast to Hardangervidda mountain range in the northwest. The county administration is located in Drammen.
Etymology.
The county is named after the old manor Buskerud (Old Norse: "Biskupsruð") located on the west side of the Drammen River in Åmot, Modum municipality. The first element is the genitive case of "biskup" m 'bishop' (referring to the Bishop of Hamar), the last element is "ruð" n 'clearing, farm'. The farm was one of the largest in Buskerud, and the original name of the farm (before it became a benefice) was probably "Modum". At the time of the Reformation (ca. 153639) the farm became property of the Crown at which time the farm then served as the residence of the king's bailiffs until 1668.

The Antarctic Peter I Island and the sub-Antarctic Bouvet Island are dependent territories and thus not considered part of the Kingdom. Norway also lays claim to a section of Antarctica known as Queen Maud Land. Until 1814, the Kingdom included the Faroe Islands (since 1035), Greenland (1261), and Iceland (1262). It also included Shetland and Orkney until 1468. It also included the following provinces, now in Sweden: Jämtland, Härjedalen and Bohuslän.

text: In sports leagues, promotion and relegation is a process where teams are transferred between two divisions based on their performance for the completed season. The best-ranked team(s) in the lower division are "promoted" to the higher division for the next season, and the worst-ranked team(s) in the higher division are "relegated" to the lower division for the next season. In some leagues, playoffs or qualifying rounds are also used to determine rankings. This process can continue through several levels of divisions, with teams being exchanged between levels 1 and 2, levels 2 and 3, levels 3 and 4, and so on. During the season, teams that are high enough in the league table that they would qualify for promotion are sometimes said to be in the "promotion zone", and those at the bottom are in the "relegation zone" (or, colloquially, the "drop zone" or "facing the drop").

The league serves as the fifth division of the French football league system behind Ligue 1 , Ligue 2 , Championnat National , and the Championnat de France Amateur . Contested by 112 clubs , the Championnat de France amateur 2 operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Championnat de France amateur and the regional leagues of the Division d'Honneur , the sixth division of French football . Seasons run from August to May , with teams in eight groups playing 26 games each totalling 2080 games in the season . Most games are played on Saturdays and Sundays , with a few games played during weekday evenings . Play is regularly suspended the last weekend before Christmas for two weeks before returning in the second week of January . The Championnat France de amateur 2 was founded in 1993 as National 3 and lasted for five years before being converted to the current format used today . Most clubs that participate in the league are amateur clubs , hence the league name , but a small number of clubs are semi-professional . The matches in the league attract on average between 200 and 400 spectators per match . However , this average is dragged down by the minuscule turnouts for the pros ' home reserve matches . The current champions are the reserves of Auxerre who accumulated 94 points in Groupe E to earn promotion to the fourth division . The winners of the other seven groups were Châteaubriant , Cholet , Boulogne - Billancourt , Wasquehal , Le Puy - en - Velay , the reserves of Olympique de Marseille , and Bergerac , respectively . All seven clubs , alongside the champions and the four - best runners - up , earned promotion to the Championnat de France amateur .
