The Ashes series, like the cricket series of the same name, was a best-of-three series of test matches between the British and Australian national rugby league football teams. It was contested 39 times from 1908 until 2003 largely with hosting rights alternating between the two countries. From 1973 Australia won thirteen consecutive Ashes series.
History
Several sports and events adopted cricket's Ashes "concept" and by the beginning of the 20th century it was an "accepted principle" that a series had to have at least three matches to be a true test of which side was the best.
On 27 September 1908, the first touring Australian rugby league side arrived in England, and played their first ever Test against the England side in December in London. Two further Tests were played. The Australians suggested that the series should be called "The Ashes" and the name stuck.
The format used is that three matches are played, with the winning team being decided on the basis of most matches won. If one team has already won two matches the series is already won, however the final game is usually still played. In the 1929–30 Ashes series both the teams won one game and one game was drawn; it was therefore decided to hold a further match to determine the outcome.
Ashes is Kyla La Grange's debut album. It was produced by Brett Shaw at 123 Studios in East London, with two tracks produced by Marky Bates and was released on 30 July 2012. All songs were written by La Grange, except "Love You Better" which is a cover of The Maccabbes song from the album Wall of Arms.
"Been Better" was released as the album's lead single on 10 July 2011 with "Courage" as its B-Side.
"Heavy Stone" was released as the second single on 16 October 2011 with "Lambs" as its B-Side.
"Vampire Smile" was released as the third single on 12 February 2012 with the non-album track "Cold Favours" as its B-Side.
"Walk through Walls" was released as the fourth single on 20 July 2012 with her cover of "Love You Better" as its B-Side.
"Been Better" was re-released on 11 November 2012 with "To Be Torn" and the non-album track "Erased" as its B-Sides.
In addition to these singles, "I Could Be" was released as an iTunes Free Single of the Week in August 2012.
"Catalyst" was featured in the season 1 episode "Tough Love" of The CW network television series Beauty & the Beast.
"Ashes" is the second single from English rock band Embrace's fourth studio album, Out of Nothing. This release was publicised by a fan campaign called G.A.T.N.O (Get Ashes to Number One). The song reached number 11.
In the late summer of 2010, the track gained American notoriety through use in a commercial promoting the video game Madden NFL 11 that primarily aired on ESPN.
On 14 August 2014, Reading FC fans chose "Ashes" as their official club anthem.
According to le Strange, the name Urtas is probably a corruption of Hortus, which has the same meaning as Firdus (Paradise), while Edward Henry Palmer thought it was a personal name.
Geography
Artas and the surrounding area is characterized by the diversity of landscapes, flora and fauna due to its location at a meeting place of ecosystems. From a spring below the village an aqueduct used to carry water to Birket el Hummam by Jebel el Fureidis.
History
pre-Ottoman period
Nasir Khusraw wrote that: "a couple of leagues from Jerusalem is a place where there are four villages, and there is here a spring of water, with numerous gardens and orchards, and it is called Faradis (or the Paradises), on account of the beauty of the spot."
This is a short film Kyla made with director Debbie Scanlan and editor Liz Adams ahead of the release of her debut album Ashes. The music is an excerpt of the instrumental to 'To Be Torn', one of the tracks on the album.

Through the ashes of fallen empires we can see the shadows of failure Now I'm standing here, force of destiny! I was born to lead you out of crudity Sometimes you lose your temper and sometimes you lose a friend But in the hour of darkness your reign will be lost again No, I'm reclaiming what is mine Gods gave me a sign They blessed with their mind But i don't give a fuck I am my own god! The golden emperor! No sun will shine forever Black holes in time and no son will be born Just another mad reign All my forefathers made one big mistake They demand allegiance with the iron stake You could say my people are not free but all they need is me They follow me into death Just out of true belief Sometimes you lose your temper and sometimes you lose a friend But in the hour of darkness your reign will be lost again I'm reclaiming what is mine Gods gave me a sign They blessed with their mind But i don't give a fuck I am my own god! Forever! The golden emperor! Forever! The golden emperor! Rome wasn't built in a day No King born to stay Power is a virus, there is no hope I watched so many kings go by and no one was free from sin Their kingdom's destroyed Their kingdom's destroyed by only one lie I'm reclaiming what is mine Gods gave me a sign They blessed with their mind But i don't give a fuck I am my own god! Forever! The golden emperor! No sun will shine forever Black holes in time and no son will be born
