The term 1.5 generation or 1.5G refers to people who immigrate to a new country before or during their early teens. They earn the label the “1.5 generation” because they bring with them characteristics from their home country but continue their assimilation and socialization in the new country. Their identity is thus a combination of new and old culture and tradition.

Depending on the age of immigration, the community into which they settle, extent of education in their native country, and other factors, 1.5 generation individuals will identify with their countries of origin to varying degrees. However, their identification will be affected by their experiences growing up in the new country. 1.5G individuals are often bilingual and find it easier to be assimilated into the local culture and society than people who immigrated as adults.

Many 1.5 generation individuals are bi-cultural, combining both cultures - culture from the country of origin with the culture of the new country. Some notable members of 1.5 generation are: Elaine Chao (immigrated from Taiwan to U.S. at the age of eight), David Ho (immigrated from Taiwan to U.S. at the age of twelve).

A temporary crown is a provisional, short term restoration used in dentistry. Usually the temporary crown is constructed from a chemical-cure composite, although alternative systems using aluminium crown forms are occasionally used by older practitioners. The temporary material is shaped by the dentist to form a tooth shape that protects the prepared tooth, prevents damage to the periodontal tissues (gums) and disguises the prepared tooth to a degree until the final, definitive restoration can be made by a dental technician.

A temporary crown will usually be cemented in place with a soft temporary dental cement, such as Temp-Bond NE. This allows easy removal when fitting the definitve restoration.

If a temporary crown becomes decemented, it is important that a dentist examines the patient as overeruption of the opposing teeth may prevent accurate fitting of the final crown.

The New York State Dental Association or NYSDA was founded in 1868 and consists of 14 000 dentists which is 76% of practicing dentists in the New York state. The NYSDA provides its members with a powerful presence in the Legislature, business development programs, peer review, a clinical journal and educational and scientific programs that promote the art and science of dentistry. It is associated with the American Dental Association and is composed of 13 district component societies.

It also publishes the New York State Dental Journal a monthly dental journal.

In medical billing, a medical coder is an individual who uses a set of published codes for reporting services provided by a health care provider to an insurer of the recipient of the care. These codes allow insurance companies to map the service provider’s services to their equivalent. This process is necessary in order to be able to submit a claim against the recipient’s insurance policy for any of the services or items sold to a patient. The codes are also used by local and national governments and private healthcare organizations to conduct research and gather statistcal data about certain conditions, the treatment of those conditions and the outcome of the treatment.

Service providers that do not codify their claims will almost certainly not be reimbursed for their services by the insurance companies, leaving the service providers with either of three options:

• Resubmit the claim with the correct codes.
• Discard the claim, charge the patient for the loss, and leave the patient with the task of recovering the charges.
• Ignore the claim and take the loss.

A first-line treatment or first-line therapy is a medical therapy recommended for the initial treatment of a disease, sign or symptom, usually on the basis of empirical evidence for its efficacy.

Overview

This evidence, often based on scientific research studies, of which the randomized controlled trial is the gold standard, typically suggests the recommended therapy is most likely to have an effect for the given condition.

Alternative treatment options, including switching to another treatment, or augmenting the first-line treatment with another treatment, may be recommended if the first-line therapy does not ease the symptoms, or produces intolerable side effects.

Mercury Communications was a national telephone company in the United Kingdom. The company was formed in 1981 as a subsidiary of Cable & Wireless to challenge the monopoly of British Telecom (BT) which was privatised in 1984. Mercury proved only moderately successful at challenging BT’s dominance.

In 1997 the Mercury brand ceased to be and it was amalgamated into Cable & Wireless Communications. The consumer arm of the latter would eventually find itself bought out by the telecommunications firm NTL, now Virgin Media. Its name lives on through its original sponsorship of the Mercury Music Prize, now dubbed the ‘Nationwide Mercury Prize’ in light of its most recent sponsors. The majority of the media, however, have not taken to using this new name.

Activities

Mercury moved into the Private Branch eXchange market in 1990 as a result of Telephone Rentals being bought by Cable & Wireless. This enabled the Smart Box to be connected to a large number of TR’s customers, so traffic was routed away from BT onto Mercury’s network.

Mercury pulled out of the PABX market in 1996, when it sold that part of the business to Siemens, creating Siemens Business Communication Systems (SBCS)

From 1986 Mercury operated public payphones in the UK, in competition with BT. These proved not to be profitable and this interest was sold in 1995.”Non BT Boxes In The UK”, www.redphonebox.info

Mercury also operated the first GSM 1800 mobile phone service, launched in 1993, as Mercury One2one. The service was first rolled out in the London M25 area, and offered free mobile to mobile calls at off-peak times and weekends”Mercury One-2-One challenges the U.K. cellular competition, Mobile Phone News, Sept 13, 1993 ” . Even after this plan ceased being sold, SIM cards that were subscribed to the plan continued to provide these free calls, and often changed hands for large sums of money. Coverage was extended throughout the decade, with most of the UK having service by 1997.

Ernest Knaebel (June 14, 1872-February 19, 1947) was an American lawyer and the eleventh reporter of decisions of the United States Supreme Court, serving from 1916 to 1944.

Born West Boxford, Massachusetts, Knaebel was a graduate of Yale University, receiving his A.B. in 1894, his LL.B. in 1896, and his LL.M. in 1897. He practiced law in New York City in 1898 but soon moved to Denver, Colorado. He practiced law there until 1902, when he was named United States Attorney, serving until 1907. In that year he went to Washington, D.C., where he was a special assistant to the United States Attorney General until 1911 and then assistant attorney general from 1911 to 1916. While at the United States Department of Justice, he specialized in cases involving the public lands and Indian matters. He became reporter in 1916 and during his tenure, the Government Printing Office took over publication of the United States Reports; previously private printers had issued them.

Some of Knaebel’s official correspondence and other personal papers are housed with the Knaebel Family Papers collection at the American Heritage Center of the University of Wyoming and available for research.

A palatal expander, also known as a rapid palatal expander, rapid maxillary expansion appliance, palate expander or orthodontic expander, is used to widen the upper jaw so that the bottom and upper teeth will fit together better. This can only be done when the patient is still growing, unless surgery is used to separate the two halves of the palate. It is most often followed by braces to straighten out all the teeth now that room has been created. Patients who have just gotten expanders may experience extra saliva and talking lisps. Additionally, patients may also feel a sore on their tongue from contact with the expander’s metal bars. The expansion process usually results in a large gap between the patient’s front teeth although this does not always happen. This gap is closed by subsequent orthodontics (braces). With expanders, the patient has to remember to turn the expansion screw themselves. For expansion that is not managed by the patient on both the upper and lower jaws, a bionator may be more suitable alternative.

Although it may vary from person to person, most usually feel slight pressure on their teeth. As the patient turns the expansion screw using the key, a space develops between the front two teeth. Some may notice a larger space while others do not notice a space at all. It usually takes several days to adjust to eating and speaking after first receiving the rapid palatal expander. The brace also puts pressure in parts of your nose and you may also experience headaches.

Marco Frascari is an Italian architect and architectural theorist born under the shadow of the dome of Sant Andrea in Mantova, in 1945. He studied with Carlo Scarpa at IUAV and received his PhD in Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. He taught for several years at the University of Pennsylvania, then as Visiting Professor at Columbia and Harvard, then he become a G. Truman Ward Professor of Architecture at Virginia Tech and is currently director of the Carleton University School of Architecture in Ottawa, Canada. Marco Frascari is far more well-known in the English speaking world than in his country of origin.

Frascari has written innumerable architectural essays that teach a lost language of sensual architecture; an architecture based on the body, physical memories, symbology, alchemy, demonstrative logic, the nature of representation, and material magic. While having a great lecturing capability to explain complex ideologies and architectural stories in simple and easily comprehended terms, Frascari uses the art of writing to demonstrate his architectural thinking. His essays and books utilize a deep, complexly layered language that is also consistent with his architectural theories. These very style of his writings reflect the very nature of his architectural sapience.

[creation of words. teachings based on the melding of arts. the nature of metaphor in architecture. etymological amalgams, Italian, English, Latin. a body of unlikely influences from cult artists or simply odd architectural stories that have never completely surfaced in the mainstream body of architectural education. (German periodical, jiri kolar, synesthesia) ..to be finished]

The intrigued architect or student, having never have met or studied under Marco Frascari, will be puzzled by the complexity of his cosmopoietic view of architecture. This is due to the complexity and density of the semantics of his most published works (Monsters of Architecture and The Tell-tale-Detail), as well as the sheer rarity of these very titles (The Tell-tale-Detail has been translated in Spanish and in Japanese).

One could easily assume that considering the semantics of Frascari’s writings, his students find themselves slipping into a realm of thought without production. Instead, he is a teacher that works through demonstration, and he demands the creation of physical artifacts. Many of his teaching techniques–by now infamous in the various schools where he has been–are the same methodology of his own instruction by Carlo Scarpa, reflecting Scarpa’s own despise for the growing political nature of the modern movement. The mind-boggled, frozen-handed student of today’s cacophonic, image-driven magazine world instead confronts a man who insists on seeing constant, yet HAPPY, physical production. Frascari teaches to DRAW, and to draw joyfully. One of the most well-known exercises that Marco asks students to do is a semester long building section.

Architecture is a field of slow evolution. Due to the international nature of the various universities he has taught at, Frascari’s students, many of which are already architects, are slowly beginning to carve Frascari’s words into the constraint-filled world. We can only hope that by the time Frascari’s reminders as to what architecture truly is come to fruition that true architecture, which is a function of humanity, will still have a place in our lives as we move through the fourth machine age and into the fifth.

Freewriting is a popular technique used by writers to practice writing in general, or to collect their initial thoughts and ideas on a writing topic. It is often used as a preliminary to more formal writing.

Technique

The technique involves continuous writing, usually for a predetermined period of time (often 5, 10, or 15 minutes). Writing is done without regard to spelling, grammar, etc., and no corrections are made. If the writer reaches a point where they cannot think of anything to write, then they write that they cannot think of anything, until they find another line of thought. The writer allows himself or herself to stray off topic, and to just let their thoughts lead them wherever they may. At times a writer may also do a focused freewrite where a chosen topic structures their thoughts. Expanding from this topic, their thoughts may stray to make connections and create more abstract views on the topic. This technique helps them to explore a particular subject before putting their ideas into a more basic context.

Freewriting is often done on a daily basis as a part of the writer’s daily routine. Also, students in many writing courses are assigned to do such daily writing exercises.

History in publication

Freewriting was advanced in Peter Elbow’s Writing Without Teachers (1975), and has been popularised by Julia Cameron through her book, The Artist’s Way (1992).

Natalie Goldberg combined the notion of freewriting with principles of Zen Buddhist meditation and developed “writing practice”, described in books such as Writing Down the Bones (1986). Writing practice is different from freewriting encouraged in undergraduate and creative writing programs: writing practice encourages the writer to be aware of his or her thoughts throughout the writing practice, and may be an ends unto itself — rather than a means to produce a more polished piece later.

Tooth painting is a custom practiced by the Si La ethnic group. This practice has slowly declined with each new generation. The Si La men painted their teeth red and the women paint theirs black.

The practice of whitening teeth has also become popular in Western culture as a form of aesthetic enhancement.

Cosmetic dentistry is a discipline within dentistry in which the primary focus is the modification of appearance of a patient’s oral cavity and surrounding structures, in conjunction with the prevention and treatment of organic, structural, or functional oral disease. Through cosmetic dentistry, the appearance of the mouth can be altered to more closely match the patient’s subjective concept of what is visually pleasing.

Materials

In the past, dental fillings and other tooth restorations were made of gold, amalgam and other metals — some of which were veneered with porcelain. Now, dental work can be made entirely of porcelain or composite materials that more closely mimic the appearance of natural tooth structure. These tooth colored materials are bonded to the underlying tooth structure with resin adhesives. Unlike silver fillings (amalgams) they are entirely free of mercury. Many dentists offer procedures to be cosmetic and because their patients prefer natural looking teeth.

Treatments

Today’s common cosmetic dental treatment options include:

• Whitening, or “tooth bleaching”, is the most commonly prescribed cosmetic dental procedure. While many whitening options are now available, dentist-supervised treatments remain the recommended procedures for lightening discolored teeth.

• Enamel shaping removes parts of the contouring enamel to improve the appearance of the tooth.[1] It may be used to correct a very small chip. The removed enamel is irreplaceable. It is also known as enameloplasty, odontoplasty, recontouring, reshaping, slenderizing, and stripping.

• Bonding is an option for chipped or cracked teeth. It is a process in which an enamel-like dental composite material is applied to a tooth’s surface, sculpted into shape, hardened, and then polished.

• Veneers, ultra-thin, custom-made laminates that are bonded directly to the teeth, are an increasingly popular procedure. They are an option for closing gaps or disguising discolored teeth that did not respond well to whitening procedures.

Kyokan is a Japanese word that means “feel-one”. It was a concept forwarded by Masao Kawai as a means of studying primates in the field. It first appeared to Western primatologists in Kawai’s book Life of Japanese Monkayes (1969).

The kyokan method is a very subjective and empathic form of research. It involves feelings of mutual relationship, attachment and shared experience between both the researcher and their subject.

This “sympathetic” method is not the same as Western primatology’s romanticised organicism that excludes power and violence.

In Kawai’s own words; “By positively entering the group, by making contact on some level, objectivity can be established. It is on this basis that the experimental method can be introduced into natural behaviour study and which makes scientific analysis possible”.

Kawai’s use of the term kyokan seems to be somewhat unique amongst his peers in Japanese primatology, but the underlying principles are part of the foundation of the Japanese discipline in the field.

Abdominoplasty or “tummy tuck” is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to make the abdomen more firm. The American Heritage Stedman’s Medical Dictionary defines abdominoplasty as “Plastic surgery of the abdomen in which excess fatty tissue and skin are removed, usually for cosmetic purposes.” The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten the muscle and fascia of the abdominal wall. This type of surgery is usually sought by women with loose tissues after pregnancy or individuals with sagging after major weight loss.

Procedures

Abdominoplasty operations vary in scope and are frequently subdivided into categories. Depending on the extent of the surgery, a complete abdominoplasty can take 1 to 5 hours. A partial abdminoplasty (Mini-Tuck Abdominoplasty) can be completed between 1 to 2 hours.

Complete Abdominoplasty

A complete (or full) abdominoplasty involves:

1. An incision is made from hip to hip just above the pubic area.
2. Another incision is made to free the navel from the surrounding skin.
3. The skin is detached from the abdominal wall to reveal the muscles and fascia to be tightened. The muscle fascia wall is tightened with sutures.
4. The remaining skin and fat are tightened by removing the excess and closing the defect.
5. The old belly button stalk is brought out through a new hole and sutured into place.
6. Liposuction is often used to refine the transition zones of the abdominal sculpture.
7. A dressing and sometime a compression garment are applied and any excess fluid from the site is drained.

Partial Abdominoplasty

A partial (or mini) abdominoplasty involves:

1. A smaller incision is made.
2. The skin and fat of the lower abdomen are detached in a more limited fashion from the muscle fascia. The skin is stretched down and excess skin removed.
3. Sometimes the belly button stalk is divided from the muscle below and the belly button slid down lower on the abdominal wall.
4. Sometimes a portion of the abdominal muscle fascia wall is tightened.
5. Liposuction is often used to contour the transition zone.
6. The flap is stitched back into place.

Extended Abdominoplasty

An extended abdominoplasty is a complete abdominoplasty with extensions into the thighs (front) and/or flanks (sides).

Combination Procedures

An abdominoplasty is a component of a lower body lift and can be combined with liposuction contouring, breast reduction, breast lift, or occasionally hysterectomy, depending on the reason for the hysterectomy.

Recovery

• Depends on the problem to be treated, surgical technique(s), and other factors. Can take one to four weeks and patients are advised to take at least a portion of this recovery time off from work.

• Heavy activity especially is best avoided during this time.

• Initially there may be bruising and discomfort.

• A supportive abdominal binder or compression garment can minimize swelling / bruising, and support the repaired tissues.

• Patients are advised to avoid all forms of nicotine for a month or longer prior to surgery and also during the recovery period.

• Full recovery takes 3 - 6 months, with further fading of scars thereafter.

Cost

The cost of a “tummy tuck” varies from country to country and even within locales of countries. As with most cosmetic surgery operations, the cost depends on a variety of factors like the age of the patient, their weight and the state of their health. Depending on the individuals, there may also be other costs involved after the operation. This does not include the follow-up visits as required by some doctors.

On average in the United States, this procedure can cost from USD$4,000 to as much as $20,000.

The pre-operative and post-operative care, facility fees, anesthesia, and medications must be taken into consideration when reviewing surgery costs. No surgeries are a guaranteed success and therefore a second procedure or a touch-up may be required to achieve the desired appearance. These costs are typically not included in the original cost.

The maxillary canine is the tooth located laterally (away from the midline of the face) from both maxillary lateral incisors of the mouth but mesial (toward the midline of the face) from both maxillary first premolars. Both the maxillary and mandibular canines are called the “cornerstone” of the mouth because they are all located three teeth away from the midline, and separate the premolars from the incisors. The location of the canines reflect their dual function as they complement both the premolars and incisors during mastication, commonly known as chewing. Nonetheless, the most common action of the canines is tearing of food. There is a single cusp on canines, and they resemble the prehensile teeth found in carnivorous animals. Though relatively the same, there are some minor differences between the deciduous (baby) maxillary canine and that of the permanent maxillary canine.

It is the longest tooth in total length (From root to the incisal edge) in the mouth.

In the universal system of notation, the deciduous maxillary canines are designated by a letter written in uppercase. The right deciduous maxillary canine is known as “C”, and the left one is known as “H”. The international notation has a different system of notation. Thus, the right deciduous maxillary canine is known as “53″, and the left one is known as “63″.

In the universal system of notation, the permanent maxillary canines are designated by a number. The right permanent maxillary canine is known as “6″, and the left one is known as “11″. In the Palmer notation, a number is used in conjunction with a symbol designating in which quadrant the tooth is found. For this tooth, the left and right canines would have the same number, “3″, but the right one would have the symbol, “┘”, underneath it, while the left one would have, “└”. The international notation has a different numbering system than the previous two, and the right permanent maxillary canine is known as “13″, and the left one is known as “23″.

In optics, Wavefront Coding is a method for increasing the depth of field in an image to produce sharper images. It works by blurring the image using a specially shaped waveplate so that the image is out of focus by a constant amount. Digital image processing then removes the blur and introduced noise.

The technique was pioneered by a radar engineer Edward Dowski and his thesis adviser Thomas Cathey at the University of Colorado in America in the 1990s. After the university showed little interest in the research they have since founded a company to commercialize the method called CDM-Optics. The company was acquired in 2005 by OmniVision Technologies, which has released Wavefront-Coding-based mobile camera chips as TrueFocus sensors.

Wavefront Coding falls under the broad category of computational photography as a technique to enhance the depth of field.

The Ilizarov apparatus is used in a surgical procedure that can be used to lengthen or reshape limb bones. In addition, the procedure is often used to treat complex and/or open bone fractures, where conventional treatment techniques cannot be used. It can also be used to treat infected non-unions of bones not amenable with other techniques.

History

Professor Gavril Abramovich Ilizarov invented this procedure in the 1950s after having to treat orthopedic conditions in the Kurgan region of Siberia. Originally bicycle parts were used for the frame.

This novel technique was introduced to the West in the 1980s, predominantly via Italian surgeons. It gained popularity in the 90s, and has been used successfully by many surgeons throughout the world now. In most 3rd world countries it is a highly specialised technique used mainly for deformity correction by experienced deformity surgeons due to its complexity. Further development of the ring construct led to the Taylor Spatial frame which is more versatile and far easier to use, but very costly.Though, nowadays intramedullary limb lengthening devices are also available, they are not suitable for deformity correction of bones.

Bone Lengthening/Reshaping Procedure

The procedure involves breaking the bone to be adjusted. Metal rings are then attached to the bone sections by rods, wires and screws. The screws are then periodically adjusted while the bone is healing to get the required shape. Once this has been completed a second operation is performed to remove the apparatus. The major advantage of this procedure is that because the apparatus provides complete support while the bone is recovering the patient can remain active aiding recovery.

Harry Aitchison was one of the first people to have an Ilizarov frame used to mend a tuma on his leg the operation was very successful and he now can do everything a normal person can achieve. Harry Aitchisons tuma was removed by having a section of his left tibia completely removed the Ilizarov frame is what stretched it back together.

The device is a specialized form of external fixator, a circular fixator, modular in construct. Instead of the more traditional mololateral fixators, the circular construct, in addition to the novel tensioned wires provides far more structural support. This allows early weightbearing. The frame can be used to support a fractured limb, but it is most commonly used to correct deformity through the concept of callotasis. A surgical fracture is created, the bone allowed to commence healing, and then by distracting this new bone regenerate through the frame the deformity can be corrected. A further use is of bone transport, whereby a defect in a long bone can be treated by transporting a segment of bone, whilst simultaneously lengthening regenerate to reduce the defect and finally dock with the other segment, producing a single bony unit.

The Ilizarov apparatus is a powerful tool, and is not without problem. It is difficult to use, whilst it is minimally invasive in that no large incisions are made and no metalwork is applied directly to the bone, it is not free of complications. Pin site infection is very common, swelling, limb pain and muscle transfixion are all not uncommon.

Bone Fracture Treatment Procedure

The Ilizarov method is widely used to treat complex and/or open bone fractures. This method is preferred over conventional treatment options (such as internal fixator or cast) where there is a high risk of infection or the fracture is of such severity that internal fixators are unworkable.

Images (Case Study)

The following case study illustrates the Ilizarov apparatus treatment procedure for a fractured limb. The photographs are of the same patient during the course of treatment. If other individuals desire to post images, please create a separate gallery.

Alton J. Parker (1879-1927), an English chemist or pharmacist, was the creator of the amyl nitrite capsule, commonly known as a “popper.”

Amyl nitrite was discovered in 1844 and was found to relax the capillary blood vessels. In 1867, Thomas Lauder Brunton, a medical student in Scotland, found the drug helped relieve angina by increasing blood flow to the heart. Parker was the first pharmacist to produce amyl nitrite in capsule form for inhalation, sometime just before the First World War.

Nitroglycerine was found to have a dilating effect similar to amyl nitrite. Although both can still be prescribed for angina, nitroglycerine is much more commonly prescribed because it is more easily administered and has fewer side effects.

A prescription was required for amyl nitrite until the early 1960s when the U.S. Food & Drug Administration approved it for over-the-counter sale. That approval was withdrawn in 1969 when the FDA discovered that it was being used as a recreational drug.

Refinishing in woodworking and decorative arts means fixing or redoing the finishing paint, varnish or other top coating of an object, from resanding to new paint and new varnish. The artisan or restorer is traditionally aiming for an improved or restored and renewed finish. Refinishing can apply to a variety of surfaces and materials such as wood, glass, metal, plastic and paint, although in Britain, when referring to wood or wooden furniture it is commonly known as repolishing.

There are a great variety of both traditional and modern finishes, including the use of faux finishes. One interesting modern development in refinishing is the art of distressing or antiquing, making the finishes of pieces look older. To learn more about modern furniture finishes, study these faux finishing techniques for unfinished furniture with step-by-step instructions.

The primary commentator on the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series (hereto after in this article referred to as LoEG), is Jess Nevins, whose published works are considered the most complete annotations of all the various literary references made by this series. This timeline is composed of events that take place in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volumes I and II, Allan and the Sundered Veil, and events hinted at or briefly covered in the expansive work The New Traveller’s Almanac, all of these works written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin O’Neill. However the latter two are text-based stories which take the form of a serialized, pulp-style “Boy’s Story” and a travel guide, respectively, with a few illustrations by Kevin O’Neill, rather than being in graphic novel form.

It should be noted that in order to place these varied events into chronological order, and to get the best sense of the Leagues’ activities, there is some speculation as to probable times and orders of events, as well as mention of several events which, while happening to characters contained in LoEG, do not actually occur in LoEG, but in the original works the characters were taken from. Since LoEG is a crossover fiction, there are several events which the writer of LoEG will assume the reader already knows about the character, and these events can be considered canon. At some points, however, the fictional canon of LoEG comes into conflict with the worlds of the various fictional works used as components of the LoEG fiction. These places are clearly marked, but as a general rule, unless specifically noted, the events of the sampled fictional canon all are assumed to have happened as depicted in the original work, with the addition of being in a world in which the events of all the other fictional bodies have taken place as well.

Secondly it should be noted that this timeline is written in ignorance of the events of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Black Dossier by Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill, which is currently scheduled to be released October 24, 2007 according to Amazon.com. Sufficient to say, there will be much needed addition and correction to this timeline with the release of “The Black Dossier.

Thirdly, it should be noted that in order to avoid the timeline being too cluttered with notations, the members of the various Leagues and other, comparable organizations present in LoEG are listed at the bottom of the page with a complete list of their bibliographical origins.

• c. 1849 - Count Allamistakeo, an Egyption nobleman, awakened in America as a result of an experiment using electricity. Edgar Allan Poe recounts the story before going to sleep using the same long sleeping technieque as Count Allamistakeo, which could explain why history would show him as being dead at about this time (October 7, 1849). Some time after this, Count Allamistakeo goes to sleep again, after having his portrait done: as in 1898 we see both his sleeping form and his portrait in the British Museum. (”Some Words with a Mummy” by Edgar Allan Poe. Minor Speculation; Edgar Allan Poe often wrote in the first person, while never identifying the speaker, it can thus be assumed that for the purposes of LoEG, as it is with much crossover using Poe’s stories, that the speaker is a fictionalized Edgar Allan Poe himself. Also, the reason this Egyptian-American mummy is in the British Museum, the headquarters of the League, is a matter of speculation among fans of the series)

Unfortunately, rather than sending him to another life, this herb sends him to an ethereal plane where he encounters other such ethereal travellers. In an uncertain time and place outside of our normal realm of existence, Allan Quatermain encounters John and Randolph Carter, the former a Confederate soldier whom was intercepted during his initial astral projection to the planet Mars, and the latter a Massachusetts scientist studying the realm of deep dreams. They are soon met by the Time Traveller, who informs them that there are extra-dimensional creatures invading their reality, and that he has gathered them to tackle the problem. Unfortunately, the Time Traveller’s plans are somewhat disturbed by a number of factors, and none of his recruited heroes remember their experience with the Time Traveller other than as a half-remembered dream. However, it stands to reason that the Time Traveller, not being restricted to linear time, will again try to contact such heroes across time in order to stop the invasion of our reality that British Intelligence has feared since the late 17th Century. (Allan and the Sundered Veil by Alan Moore with characters from The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, Allan Quatermain stories by H. Rider Haggard, the Barsoom series by Edgar Rice Burroughs, and the Dream Cycle series created by H.P. Lovecraft, and The New Traveller’s Almanac by Alan Moore)

• 1890 – Wilhelmina Murray, later Wilhelmina Harker through marriage, fights Count Dracula in England and across Europe in a battle for her very soul. Basil Hallward’s portrait of Dorian Gray, having deteriorated somewhat over the years, has miraculously reconstituted itself at the same time as Dorian Gray himself dies and becomes disfigured.

• 1894 – The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes returns to England, though secretly (probably under an assumed name), and will remain so until 1903 when Dr. Watson begins publishing his account of the Great Detective’s cases again. Though, in Dr. Watson’s later accounts of the cases between 1894 and 1903 he will skew the facts slightly to the effect of making it appear that the Great Detective’s return was known – this annoying anachronism may have been the choice of Dr. Watson’s editor and Literary Agent, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Captain Nemo makes extensive explorations of Antarctica, circumnavigating the continent and making extensive explorations of the interior. (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill, The New Traveller’s Almanac by Alan Moore)
• 1895 – The man later known as the Time Traveller finishes his fantastic time machine and begins his temporal adventures.

(The Time Machine by H. G. Wells)
• 1897 – Hawley Griffin disappears from public view when he becomes The Invisible Man. Jonathan and Wilhelmina Harker publish their accounts of the Dracula Incident some seven years previous, and Wilhelmina gives birth to the couple’s only son before their divorce some time the following year.

Ishmael, first officer aboard the Nautilus, reports a sighting of the “ghost submersible” around Drake Passage, later known as the Yellow Submarine, as recorded in the Nautilus’s logbook by Captain Nemo. (The New Traveller’s Almanac Chpt.3 Pg.2 by Alan Moore)
• c. 1898 – It is unclear as to the events surrounding Wilhelmina and Jonathan’s divorce, or what happened to their son. Regardless, they were divorced, and their son is nowhere to be seen. The only clue is that there is some antipathy between the two. Also, some time in late 1897 or early 1898, Wilhelmina, now going by her maiden name of Murray, begins, assuming she was not already, working for British Intelligence and recruits Captain Nemo into her new fledgling League. (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume 1, Chapter 1: “Empire Dreams” by Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill, and Dracula by Bram Stoker)

• Early July, 1898 – A unified coalition of Martian armies under the command of John Carter, of Virginia, and Gullivar Jones, of the United States Navy, make one final attack on the last stronghold of the alien creatures which have plagued Mars for some time, creatures they call the Molluscs. The siege is successful only by using the combined strength of all the significant armies of Mars, including the giantish Sorns. Unfortunately, the Molluscs manage to escape in several cylinder shaped refugee ships bound for Earth. The launch of these craft are seen on Earth, and believed to be volcanic eruptions (as reported in a newspaper seen in LoEG Vol. 1 on about July 6, 1898).

• c. July 6-7, 1898 – The League make inquiries as to the location of the Devil Doctor, the “Lord of Limehouse” in London, reconnoitring back at the Nautilus (which has dropped anchor in the Thames River in Wapping, London) that evening, which has become their lodging in London. Through infiltration, sabotage, subterfuge, suspicion, quick thinking, and good old fashion violence the League manage to foil the sieges of London’s West and East ends, the Devil Doctor’s minions suffering heavy losses, and the presumed death of Professor James Moriarty. However, London’s East end suffers heavy property damage and loss of life – this is the first of many aerial disasters which will strike London in the next half century. (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume 1, Chapter 3: “Mysteries of the East” and Chapter 4: “Gods of Annihilation” by Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill)

1900s

• Late 1900 – Wilhelmina Murray follows Allan Quatermain to Africa, who is in search of the City of Kôr and the Fire and Life, in order to rejuvenate himself. On the sea trip to Africa, Wilhelmina records several interesting, though previously explored, islands that the ship passes. Then on Dec. 24 Wilhelmina Murray writes that they’ve located Kor in the “British Protectorate of Uganda” on the Fantippoan Postmaster General’s “detailed map of Africa.” (The New Traveller’s Almanac Chpt.4 Pg.5,6,7 by Alan Moore, She: A History of Adventure by H. Rider Haggard
• January 8, 1901 – Wilhelmina Murray and Allan Quatermain trek southeast from the Kingdom of Fantippo, in Africa, to Uganda and the hidden city of Kôr, passing several interesting kingdoms and lands as they go, and finding the Fire of Life as well as a “stone etched map of Abyssinia… by the crater pool.” (The New Traveller’s AlmanacChpt.4 Pg.7 by Alan Moore, Doctor Dolittle’s Post Office by Hugh Lofting, She: A History of Adventure by H. Rider Haggard)
• 1901 – The difficulties encountered in the effort to rebuild London after the Martian Invasion of 1898, and also the strain of returning to full military strength, is cited as one of the primary reasons England loses the Boer War. The Airship Wars break out between the German Empire and the United States, and quickly spreads throughout Europe – devastating London and other major cities. The English lunar expedition, delayed in 1898 from its original goal of reaching the moon by 1900, succeeds in placing men on the moon and, we are left to assume, returning them safely to Earth. Wilhelmina Murray and Allan Quatermain find Kôr in Africa and bathe in the Pool of Fire and Life. Reportedly nothing happens, and Allan dies of exposure later in their trip. Coincidentally, Mina reports meeting up with another man named Allan Quatermain, a younger man than the Great White Hunter, who claims to be Allan Quatermain, Jr., Allan Quatermain Sr.’s long lost son. Rumors of Sherlock Holmes’s continued existence circulate, though nothing is at this time substantiated. Jack Harkaway, the British traveller, dies abroad and is survived by his children and grandchildren. The beginning of the crime spree of the super-criminal known as Fantômas. Fantômas will continue to plague authorities for at least the next four decades. (The New Traveller’s Almanac by Alan Moore, War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, The War in the Air by H.G. Wells, The First Men in the Moon by H.G. Wells, She: A History of Adventure by H. Rider Haggard, Jack Harkaway and His Son’s Adventures Round the World by Bracebridge Hemyng, and the Fantômas dime novels and serialized newspaper stories created by Pierre Souvestre and Marcel Allain) Chronological Note: The placement of the Airship Wars in The New Traveller’s Almanac is clearly 1901, which is curious, as in the book, The War in the Air, it is listed equally clearly that the war happened some time after 1907 - when there are monorails and two-wheeled automobiles and motorcycles as common sites throughout Europe and most of the world - considering that the world of LoEG has, seemingly, this level of technology (automobiles and primitive blimps and nations experimenting with powered flight, etc.) in 1898, Moore may have purposely moved The War in the Air back a few years in order to fit into the world of LoEG and to leave room for World War I.
• Summer of 1901 – Wilhelmina Murray and Allan Quatermain, Junior, return to England. Mina visits the Dr. Reverend Eric Bellman, the last survivor of the Bellman Expedition, and obtains a map to Snark Island for British Intelligence.

• 1904 – Wilhelmina Murray and Allan Junior travel to Sussex to investigate the mysterious “Wish House,” first seeking the council or assistance of “The Beekeeper” (a retired Sherlock Holmes). Following their enquiries, they investigate the strange case of the Starkadder Apparition near Smalldene. Aeronaut Jean Robur is presumed dead after the events of his lake Eerie shenanigans. (The New Traveller’s Almanac by Alan Moore, “The Wish House” by Rudyard Kipling, the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons, Maître du Monde (The Master of the World) by Jules Verne)
• 1905 – Doctor Omega and colleagues travel to Mars and bring back the Martian Tiziraou, a dwarfish, pumpkin-headed creature with tentacle-like arms. Tiziraou is later spotted in the Paris sewers. (Le Docteur Oméga – Adventures Fantastiques de Trois Français dans la Planète Mars (Dr. Omega – Fantastic Adventures of Three Frenchmen on the Planet Mars) by Arnould Galopin, and Speculation based on an illustration by Kevin O’Neill of the Paris sewers which appears in The New Traveller’s Almanac by Alan Moore , Note: J.M. L’Officier Spoke directly to Kevin O’Neill about the drawing and said he put in the Martian because he liked its look “no hidden story agenda there.” The Mysterious Men)

• January 7, 1907 - Second Murray League’s ice breaker The Joseph finds itself unable to sail farther north, due to heavy ice. (New Traveller’s Almanac by Alan Moore)
• January 8 to March 19, or thereabouts, 1907 - Second Murray League heads out on foot into the Back of the North Wind, freakishly warm for being so far north. This group spends what, subjectively, seems like three days, but is actually closer to three months, in the Back of the North Wind, and encounter such peoples and places as Frankenstein’s Creature, Olympia, Toyland, a “forlorn and sorry chap” who lacks identification, and Noddy, and are made aware of a “bold, fearless black balloonist,” who also lacks identification, before leaving. (At the Back of the North Wind by George MacDonald, Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley, “The Sand Man” from the book Nachtstücke or Night-Pieces by E.T.A. Hoffman: Speculation: the identities of the “forlorn and sorry chap… in old and faded naval uniform” and the “bold, fearless black balloonist” remain the continual vexation of LoEG fans, and has not even been clearly identified by Jess Nevins. On Jess Nevins’ website, it has been suggested that the forlorn naval man is in fact the captain of the Titan, which has been established as being in LoEG canon already, and that, like the real-life Titanic, the Titan sunk somewhere in the North Atlantic when it struck an iceberg. The Titan is from Futility: or, the Wreck of the Titan by Morgan Robertson. On Jess Nevins’ website, it has been postulated that the “bold, fearless black balloonist” may be Jim from Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain using the dirigible from Tom Sawyer Abroad, also by Mark Twain, or Lee Scoresby from Northern Lights by Philip Pullman, or perhaps Florence Kate Upton’s Golliwogg, as he was sometimes drawn as a big black balloon. Whatever the answer to these two questions, it will no doubt be sorted out in the next volume of LoEG)

• 1913 – The Second Murray League, consisting of Wilhelmina Murray, Allan Quatermain, Junior, Orlando and possibly Professor George Edward Challenger, and an Irish-American criminal and possible spy by the name of Mr. Altamont of Chicago, travel to France, via the agrarian republic of Caljava on the Bay of Biscay, and become involved with some sort of confrontation with Les Hommes Mysterieux. The Nyctalope is shot by “A.J.” (who could either be Allan Junior or Anthony J. Raffles or another unnamed yet character) for menacing Miss Murray. (The New Traveller’s Almanac by Alan Moore, and Speculation based upon “His Last Bow” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, assuming that Mr. Altamont would have been involved with the League at this time, though this is not actually supported by any LoEG material as of yet)
