the United Kingdom and the other fifteen Commonwealth realms,
behind his father and his older brother, Prince William. He holds
the rank of Lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the
Household Cavalry of the British Army. Harry was a tank commander,

vehicles. After the decision not to send him to Iraq, he retrained
as a forward air controller, the job he performed in Afghanistan.
He was serving on the front line in Afghanistan[3] although he was
pulled out on 29 February 2008 after the world media revealed his
presence there and the British authorities became concerned for his

total of 77 days.[4] His full title is His Royal Highness Prince
Henry of Wales, although he is commonly referred to as Prince
Harry. As a prince, he does not have a surname. Like his brother
William, however, Harry often uses "Wales" in place of a surname
when required.

Wax Hitler returns to museum after beheading Former Berlin
police officer said he tore off statue's head to win a bet BERLIN -
A restored waxwork of Adolf Hitler has returned to Berlin's Madame
Tussauds after a demonstrator ripped off its head when it went on
show two months ago, the museum said on Sunday. Minutes after the
museum opened in July, a former Berlin police officer scuffled with
guards and leapt over a rope before tearing off the head of the wax
model of the Nazi leader. Madame Tussauds said the figure had been
returned to a room featuring a mock bunker, where visitors could
see the figure from behind glass windows, but not touch it,
Slide 4
The waxwork shows a despondent-looking Hitler staring in front
of him, his hair slightly disheveled. The wax Hitler had sparked a
heated debate in Germany even before it went on display in July.
Critics argued it was tasteless to display the replica of the man
who unleashed World War Two and ordered the extermination of
Europe's Jews. Madame Tussauds said the museum avoided politics.
"As we've explained from the start, Adolf Hitler stands for a
significant part of German history and his waxwork therefore is a
legitimate part of our exhibition, which we had confirmed through
local polls," the museum said in a statement. The 41-year-old who
beheaded Hitler had shouted "No more war!" as he tore off the head.
He told newspapers later he was angry about the exhibition but he
had carried out the attack to win a bet.

Almost 2,000 rescued in Galveston area after Ike Nearly 2,000
people who did not evacuate for Hurricane Ike have been rescued in
the Galveston area, a state official said Sunday. Also Sunday, a
Galveston County sheriff's official said three bodies were pulled
from storm wreckage there, bringing to at least nine the number of
U.S. deaths linked to Ike. Emergency personnel have rescued about
1,948 people, including 394 by air, in and around Galveston, said
Steve McCraw, director of Texas Homeland Security. Galveston had
ordered an evacuation before Ike crashed into the area early
Saturday as a Category 2 hurricane, but many residents stayed on
the island. Galveston County sheriff's Sgt. Greg Hayes said three
bodies were found in Port Bolivar, located across the narrow
entrance to Galveston Bay from Galveston Island.
Slide 6
Among the coastal Texas residents who found themselves in
trouble after Ike hit were Paul and Kathi Norton. They overslept as
Ike closed in on their home, so they decided to tough it out
because their evacuation route was already flooded. Though their
Crystal Beach, Texas, home, about 20 miles northeast of Galveston,
was on 14-foot stilts, the couple was concerned, they told CNN
affiliate KHOU-TV in Houston, Texas. "My husband made me wear a
life jacket inside our house," Kathi Norton said. "Thank God for
that, or I couldn't be here." Early Saturday, about two hours
before Ike officially made landfall, high winds and rising
floodwaters began battering their home. The house began collapsing,
and "if the flagpole wouldn't have stopped the house, the house
would've crushed us," Kathi Norton said. "It took the floor up,
buckled down and took it right off the piling. And we dove out the
door and grabbed the staircase, and we floated off," Kathi Norton
told KHOU on Sunday after the couple was delivered in a National
Guard helicopter to an evacuation point in Texas City, Texas.

John Rolfe Colonist John Rolfe helped solve the problem in
1612. Tobacco grew well in Virginia and smoking tobacco was big in
England. Jamestown began to grow tobacco and sell it in England.
Jamestown began to make many colonists rich.
Slide 10
Tobacco With the success of Tobacco, individual colonists began
to purchase land. Land ownership attracted new settlers and helped
the colony survive.
Slide 11
War in Virginia John Rolfe married Pocahontas, Wahunsonacocks
daughter, in 1614. The marriage helped relations between the colony
and the Powhatans.
Slide 12
A Colony is Born The colonists tobacco farms were so successful
that many wanted to move into Indian lands. As the colony grew, the
Indians and colonists started to fight.
Slide 13
Death of Rolfe In 1622, colonists the Powhatan leader. They
responded by killing many settlers. Among the dead was John Rolfe.
Fighting between the two lasted for the next 20 years.
Slide 14
The War The war in Virginia showed the London Co. showed that
they could not help its colonist. The lack of supplies and military
support persuaded the king to make Jamestown a royal colony and
protected by the king.
Slide 15
Daily Life In early Virginia, People lived in scattered farms
rather than towns. Soon tobacco plantations were built. They were
built due to a system known as Headright. Colonists who paid their
own way to Virginia received 50 acres of land and 50 more for for
each additional person they bring over. How is bringing additional
people an advantage? What type of person would have a large number
of people come with them?
Slide 16
Life Continued Rich colonists brought servants or relatives to
VA and gained large amounts of land. Those that brought relatives
to VA found raising a family difficult. The London Co. tried to
bring woman to the colony by promising marriage. However, in the
early days men outnumbered women 7:1. Early colonials had to
provide their own food and comforts.
Slide 17
Labor in Virginia Colonists faced a high death rate, which lead
to labor shortages. More workers were needed, many of the laborers
were indentured servants, they were people who signed a contract to
work from four to seven years for those who paid their fare to
America. 75% of early colonists were indentured servants.
Slide 18
Africans in America The 1st Africans came to America on a Dutch
ship in 1619, some were indentured servants who worked side by side
white indentured servants, they had similar contracts. Servants
were more common at this time than slaves as they did not cost as
much. Later the cost of slaves would drop.
Slide 19
Slavery The drop in slave prices lead many planters, or wealthy
farmers to to to slave labor. By the late 1600s most Africans in VA
were being kept in lifelong slavery. Slave labor helped some
tobacco plantation owners become rich.
