George Washington (1732-1799)
“Landsdowne Portrait”
As a military and political figure, George Washington was a unifying force during the country’s formative years. He fought in the French and Indian War and later served as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War. After being unanimously elected as the first president of the United States, in 1789, he installed the Supreme Court and the cabinet, quelled the Whisky Rebellion, and defeated the Western Lakes Confederacy in the Northwest Indian War (and facilitated the subsequent peace negotiations with the alliance). Washington enjoyed immense popularity at the end of his second term, but he declined to run again, insisting that the United States needed to take proper precautions to avoid hereditary leadership or dictatorship.
As he mapped out the composition for this painting, American artist Gilbert Stuart, who had previously worked in England and Ireland, drew from European traditions of state portraiture to evoke Washington’s military and civic leadership. The artist made a number of direct references to the newly formed United States, and the pose he chose for the president is believed to allude to Washington’s annual address in front of Congress in December 1795. Stuart completed several replicas of the image, which spread rapidly through popular engravings.

This topic works just like conservation of regular momentum, but looks very different. I have a question about conservation of regular momentum on the left side. The right side refers to me spinning in a deskchair holding barbells. Instead of mass increasing like it does in the question on the right, rotational inertia increases because I push the barbells out, making them farther from the axis of rotation. Thus no collision is necessary to change an objects mass. That said, momentum is conserved in both situations. The result is that I go faster with barbells tucked in, and slower with them out, something that figure skaters, gymnasts, and divers take advantage of to vary their spin speeds.

I have a very old suitcase with lots of newspapers from 1953 celebrating the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
This originally belonged to my late nan and grandad.
I have started my quest with a few advertisements scanned from the newspapers.
Over the coming weeks, months there will be even more uploads, from advertisements to everything about the coronation.
I thought this was a fitting tribute to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, 2nd June 2012.
Keep an eye open, add me as a contact and you'll surely be the first to see them.
Please contact me first before using any of these pictures.
I hope you enjoy the set as much as I do.
