However, some of the most amazing, creative, and innovative structures on earth are not man-made or urban at all, but residences built by animals in the natural world. Termites across Africa’s plains build ten-foot-high mounds, temperature-controlled high-rises maintained by solar power and complete with flood contingency plans. Leaf and grass cutter ants move 40 tons of earth to create subterranean cities with highways, homes, farms, trash pits, and nurseries for 12 million residents. Army ants create living houses made entirely of their own bodies. Cave swiflets mold crystal nests from their gluey saliva. New Guinea’s male Vogelkop bowerbirds, meticulous interior decorators, use their artistic visions to woo. Beavers build enormous dams, changing the landscape to create a safe environment for their lodges. And hummingbirds delicately weave tiny camouflaged cradles out of cobwebs, grass, twigs, and leaves. Guided by instinct, animal architects build an remarkable variety of elaborate dwellings with their simple supplies. Every house suits the needs of its owner, to shelter and protect. NATURE investigates what goes into making a home when you’re wild and cost is not a factor. They may be single-use, multi-generational, or multi-purpose; they may be anything from a small depression in the sand to a many-chambered tunnel, a nest, a burrow, or a mound, but for animals big and small, these dwellings are always impressive home sweet homes.

National Flag of Belgium National Flag of Belgium History of the National flag The National Flag of Belgium was adopted on 23 January, 1831, following the nation's independence from the rule of the Netherlands in the year 1830. The original Belgian flag had horizontal bands, but due to its likeness to the Netherlands flag, the design was later changed to vertical bands. The current vertical design of the National flag of Belgium is founded on the flag of France and its colors had been taken from the Brabant flag. The National Flag of Belgium played significant role during the revolt. Description of the National Flag The National Flag of Belgium is a tri-colored flag, consisting of three identical bands colored black, yellow and red. The colors of the flag, according to ancient and Heraldic traditions have some symbolic implications.

A college football legend starts a tradition - SaportaReport A college football legend starts a tradition Pin Shares 33 They say that football is a contact sport. Those who’ve actually played the game disagree. Basketball, they say, is a contact sport…football is a collision sport. Football is a tough and strategic game and the difference between winning and losing on any given Sunday often comes down to a thin, undefinable characteristic. There are no shortage of platitudes in the world of football. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Winers never quit, quitters never win. It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get back up. If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you. But the truth is, platitudes alone don’t make great players or great coaches, there is a fine line between greatness and mediocrity. Over the years, there have been a number of men who managed to separate themselves from the pack. Players and coaches whose names will long be remembered in the annals of football lore. But only a select few managed to transcend the ravages of time and those men wear the mantle of being legendary. John Heisman began the game in the 19th century and today his name is still synonymous with the word “greatness,” and he is the subject of this week’s Stories of Atlanta.

Show More Hector the Cat is a fictional cat and mascot created to aid the teaching of road safety to children in Australia. Educational material relating to the character was developed by the Australian Department of Transport in association with state and territory road authorities. "Hector's road safety song" became well known in Australia when it was shown as a public service announcement on television. The blue and yellow striped cat first appeared on a school calendar in 1971 with a storyline that he had lost eight of his nine lives due to "ignorance of road safety practices". This was followed by a short instructional film. In subsequent years other characters were introduced in calendars, instructional films, and comic books including Millie, his girlfriend, Uncle Tom, Hector and Millie's three kittens and his space friend Ding Dong. A study in 1978 found that, although children enjoyed the characters and stories, the material had a number of inadequacies. It stressed that road safety research findings and child development theory would need to be considered for any future development. Show Less

The Owl and the Pussycat Edward Lear's Nonsense Poetry and Art I T he Owl and the Pussy-cat went to seaIn a beautiful pea green boat,They took some honey, and plenty of money,Wrapped up in a five pound note.The Owl looked up to the stars above,And sang to a small guitar,'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,What a beautiful Pussy you are,You are,You are!What a beautiful Pussy you are!' II Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl!How charmingly sweet you sing!O let us be married! too long we have tarried:But what shall we do for a ring?'They sailed away, for a year and a day,To theland where the Bong-tree growsAnd there in a wood a Piggy-wig stoodWith a ring at the end of his nose,His nose,His nose,With a ring at the end of his nose. III 'Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shillingYourring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.'So they took it away, and were married next dayBy the Turkey who lives on the hill.They dined on mince, and slices of quince,Which they ate with a runcible spoon;And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,They danced by the light of the moon,The moon,The moon,They danced by the light of the moon.

Luce's self-titled first album, released in 2001, met with success in the San Francisco Bay Area, winning the California Music Award for Outstanding Debut. It was promoted heavily on the San Francisco radio station KFOG; a single from the album entitled "Good Day" peaked at #39 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart.

Which land animal is known as an urchin?

Sea Urchins Purple sea urchin. From "The Intertidal Zone." Courtesy of Bullfrog Films and the National Film Board of Canada. Sea Urchins You could call sea urchins the porcupines of the sea. Like a porcupine's quills, sea urchins count on their long spines to deter hungry predators from making them a snack. In fact, the sea urchin gets its name from an Old English word for the spiny hedgehog, a land animal similar to the American porcupine. You can pick up most sea urchins without getting harmed--except for the long-spined sea urchin found in south Florida, whose poisonous sharp spines can penetrate human skin and break off. In cooler waters up north, more harmless varieties like the purple and green sea urchins predominate. Sea urchins belong to the phylum Echinodermata--the same group as sea stars , sand dollars, sea lilies and sea cucumbers . Although difficult to see through all the spines, sea urchins also have a hard outer body like that of its relatives. Their outer skeleton--called a test--is made up of ten fused plates that encircle the the sea urchin like the slices of an orange. Every other section has holes through which the sea urchin can extend its tubed feet. These feet are controlled by a water vascular system. By changing the amount of water inside, the animal can extend or contract the feet to move about. Sea stars move around the same way (to view a movie of how sea stars move (~1.6M), click here ). Mainly sea urchins use their feet to hang on to the bottom while feeding, but they can move fast, walking on their feet, their spines, or even their teeth. When a sea urchin dies, all its spines fall off, leaving only the test. If you look carefully at a test, you can see tiny bumps covering it where the spines were once connected. The base of the spines once fit over the bump like a snug-fitting cap. The spines can rotate extensively around this bump. In a live sea urchin, skin and muscle cover the test and can be pulled on to move the spines. Underside of purple sea urchin. From "The Intertidal Zone." Courtesy of Bullfrog Films and the National Film Board of Canada. Sea urchins eat using a structure called Aristotle's lantern. It is made up of five hard plates that come together like a beak. They use their beak-like mouth to scrape rocks clean of algae. This scraping can wear down the plates--so sea urchin teeth grow to replace worn-down ones. Their mouth is located on the underside of their body, while any wastes are excreted through the anus at the top of the animal. Sea urchins mainly congregate in colder, offshore waters, but sometimes travel into shallower waters looking for food. The green sea urchin of New England is often found in tide pools and below the low-tide line. They also tend to shy away from light. Their tests grow to a size of three or four inches. Sea urchins will eat just about anything that floats by. Its sharp teeth can scrape algae off rocks, and grind up plankton , kelp , periwinkles , and sometimes even barnacles and mussels . Sea urchins are sought out as food by birds, sea stars , cod, lobsters, and foxes. In the northwest, sea otters are common predators of the purple sea urchin. Humans also seek out sea urchin eggs, or roe, for food. The eggs are considered a delicacy in Asia.

Re: What body part or organ stays the same size from birth? Re: What body part or organ stays the same size from birth? Date: Fri Jun 2 21:24:24 2006 Posted By: Brian Bauereis, Grad student, Clinical Neuropharmacology, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Area of science: Anatomy Message: Hi Jamie, Interesting question. I have a feeling you may have a follow up to my response. I believe that Steve Mack at madscientist has provided the best answer: The spinal cord. In the human fetus, the spinal cord extends all the way down to the sacral vertebrae (the very end). As a person ages, the spinal cord shortens relative to the rest of the body so at adulthood the spinal cord only reaches down to around the level of L1 (lumbar 1). Neuroanatomy is one of my best subjects....any related questions will be gladly received! There is maybe a less obvious answer. The eyes. I have to admit though, a babies eyes are about 75% of what they will become as an adult. So they are technically not the same size from birth, but pretty close. With that said, we'll stick to the spinal cord as the best answer. I hope this response satisfies you question. If not, might I suggest you submit a more specific question? Brian Bauereis [Moderator's Note: These answers, 937854003.An and 1141746701.An , in our archives discuss changes in the size of the eyeball from birth to adulthood.] biology - Do human eyes grow after birth? - Skeptics Stack Exchange Do human eyes grow after birth? up vote 51 down vote favorite 2 My friend just assured me that when a person is born, their eyes are at the size they will be for the rest of their life, or, that they do not grow. A Google for this question shows that it has been asked many times, and has varying answers. Do human eyes grow (increase in size) at all after they are born, or do they stay the same size the rest of their lives? Alternatively, do they grow so little that they are perceived not to grow? The answer is yes. According to Wikipedia (sans citations): The dimensions differ among adults by only one or two millimeters. The vertical measure, generally less than the horizontal distance, is about 24 mm among adults, at birth about 16–17 mm. (about 0.65 inch) The eyeball grows rapidly, increasing to 22.5–23 mm (approx. 0.89 in) by the age of three years. From then to age 13, the eye attains its full size. According to a Cornell neurobiologist named Howard C. Howland , For his part, the Cornell neurobiologist has moved on to a new study of eye size throughout various stages of development. He observes that human eyes grow rapidly in the womb and for the first three months after birth. That explains why babies are so adorably cute: Their disproportionately big eyes gaze out from those little round faces. By three months, our eyes are as big as they'll ever be -- at least from outward appearances: The corneas have reached their full width, although inside the eyes, the neurobiologist notes, the front-to-back length will increase somewhat. Then our eyes move farther apart in the face as the head grows. And we'll never be that cute again. Eric H. Chudler , a neuroscientist at the University of Washington offers the following in a newsletter titled Neuroscience for Kids : According to the text General Ophthalmology (Vaughan, Asbury and Riordan-Eva, Appleton & Lange, Stamford, 1999), the size of the eyeball at birth averages 16.5 mm in diameter (front to back measurement). In adults, the diameter is 24.2 mm. They go on to say that maximum eye size is reached when a person is 7-8 years old. While more clarity on the time frame of growth (as well as its direction) will be nice, it appears to be undeniable that human eyes do grow after birth. answered Nov 3 '12 at 7:04 user7920

“Spectacular series” Director Oliver Stone This ‘jewel in the nation’s crown’ is being re-released to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of its first broadcast which took place on 31st October 1973 The World at War is regarded by many to be one of the greatest documentary series of all time. This BAFTA and Emmy Award winning documentary series, which was first broadcast 40 years ago, was the first factual series of its kind to document the full history of World War II. The series was memorably narrated by legendary screen actor and stage icon Sir Laurence Olivier. The World at War has been inspiring film makers and historians for the past 40 years including such programmes as the BBC’s ‘Nazis a Warning from History’, produced by Laurence Reece, and more recently Oliver Stone’s ‘Untold History of the United States’ , both series creators’ laying claim to being inspired by The World at War. Available now to buy from Amazon Synopsis The World at War was conceived and produced by Sir Jeremy Isaacs and was first broadcast on the ITV Network on the 31st October 1973. Making use of of rare black and white and colour film archive footage supplied by the Imperial War Museum, this 26 part documentary series investigates the events surrounding World War II and features interviews with major members of the Allied and Axis campaigns, including civilian eyewitnesses, enlisted men, officers, government advisors and politicians, to create what is widely agreed to be the definitive history of World War II and a landmark in British television history. In 2010 the series went through a major digital restoration upgrade to HD - the archive film used in the series is the only World War II footage of its kind to be restored and remastered to HD 16.9 and 5.1 Sound. Lord Olivier provided brilliant narration for the series. DVD & Blu-ray Specifications

Secretary of State for Defence : Wikis (The Full Wiki) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Secretary of State for Defence Incumbent: Politics portal view • talk • edit The Secretary of State for Defence, popularly known as the Defence Secretary, is the senior United Kingdom government minister in charge of the Ministry of Defence , chairing the Defence Council . It is a Cabinet position. The position was created in 1964 as successor to the posts of Minister for Coordination of Defence (1936–1940) and Minister of Defence (1940–1964). Contents Minister for Coordination of Defence (1936–1940) Lord Chatfield served as the second and final Minister for Coordination of Defence. The position of Minister for Coordination of Defence was a British Cabinet -level position established in 1936 to oversee and co-ordinate the rearmament of Britain's defences. The position was established by Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin in response to criticism that Britain's armed forces were understrength compared to those of Nazi Germany . This campaign had been led by Winston Churchill and many expected him to be appointed as the new minister, though nearly every other senior figure in the National Government was also speculated upon by politicians and commentators. Despite this, Baldwin's choice of the Attorney General Sir Thomas Inskip provoked widespread astonishment. A famous remark was "This is the most cynical appointment since Caligula made his horse a consul". [1] The appointment is now regarded as a sign of caution by Baldwin who did not wish to appoint someone like Churchill who would have been interpreted by foreign powers as a sign of the United Kingdom preparing for war, as well as a desire to avoid taking onboard a controversial and radical minister. In 1939 Inskip was succeeded by First Sea Lord Lord Chatfield . When the Second World War broke out, the new Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain formed a small War Cabinet and it was expected that Chatfield would serve as a spokesperson for the three service ministers, the Secretary of State for War , the First Lord of the Admiralty and the Secretary of State for Air ; however political considerations resulted in all three posts being included in the Cabinet and Chatfield's role proved increasingly redundant. In April 1940 the position was formally wound up and the functions transferred to other Ministers. Name ( National Government ; War Government ) Ministers of Defence (1940–1964) The post of Minister of Defence was responsible for co-ordination of defence and security from its creation in 1940 until its abolition in 1964. The post was a Cabinet level post and generally ranked above the three service ministers, some of whom, however, continued to also serve in Cabinet. On his appointment as Prime Minister in May 1940, Winston Churchill created for himself the new post of Minister of Defence. The post was created in response to previous criticism that there had been no clear single minister in charge of the prosecution of World War II . In 1946, the post became the only cabinet level post representing the military, with the three service ministers - the Secretary of State for War , the First Lord of the Admiralty , and the Secretary of State for Air , now formally subordinated to the Minister of Defence.

Ben-Nevis.com BEN NEVIS - 'The Ben' Fàilte! Ben Nevis (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Nibheis) is the highest mountain in the British Isles. It is located at the western end of the Grampian Mountains in the Lochaber area of Scotland, close to the town of Fort William and is affectionately known as 'The Ben.' Ben Nevis attracts an estimated 125,000 complete and a further 100,000 partial ascents per year, most of which are made by walkers using the well-constructed Mountain Track ( Pony Track ) from Glen Nevis on the south side of the mountain. For climbers and mountaineers the main attraction lies in the 600-metre (2,000 ft) high cliffs of the north face. Among the highest cliffs in the United Kingdom, they harbour some of the best scrambles and rock climbs at all levels of difficulty, and are one of the principal locations in the UK for ice climbing. The summit, at 1,344.527m (4,411ft 2in) (or 1,345m on the new Ordnance Survey maps) above sea level, unusually for a mountain in Scotland, features the ruins of a building, an observatory , which was permanently staffed from 1883 until its closure in 1904. The Origins of the Name The name, 'Ben Nevis,' is from the Gaelic, 'Beinn Nibheis.' While 'beinn' is a common Gaelic word for 'mountain' the word 'nibheis' is understood to have several meanings and is commonly translated as 'malicious' or 'venomous' therefore giving the meaning of 'Venomous (or malicious) mountain.' Another interpretation of the name Ben Nevis, is that it derives from beinn nèamh-bhathais, from the word nèamh meaning 'heavens (or clouds)' and bathais meaning 'top of a man's head.' This would therefore translate literally as, 'the mountain with its head in the clouds' although this is sometimes also given as the more poetic, 'mountain of heaven.'

Translation : Venomous mountain Height : 1344m OS Grid : NN166713 Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the British Isles. It is located at the western end of the Grampian Mountains, close to the town of Fort William. It consists mainly of igneous rock from the Devonian period (around 400 million years ago), intruded into the surrounding metamorphic schists; the intrusions take the form of a series of concentric ring dikes. The innermost of these, known as the Inner Granite, constitutes the southern bulk of the mountain above Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe, and also the neighbouring ridge of Càrn Mòr Dearg; Meall an t-Suidhe forms part of the Outer Granite, which is redder in colour. The summit dome itself, together with the steep northern cliffs, are composed of andesite and basaltic lavas. The mountain has been extensively shaped by glaciation. The first recorded ascent of Ben Nevis was made on 17 August 1771 by James Robertson, an Edinburgh botanist, who was in the region to collect botanical specimens. It was not until 1847 that Ben Nevis was confirmed by the Ordnance Survey as the highest mountain in Britain, ahead of its rival Ben Macdui. The summit observatory was built in 1883, and remained in operation for 21 years. The first path to the summit was built at the same time as the observatory and was designed to allow ponies to carry up supplies, with a maximum gradient of one in five.[13] The opening of the path and the observatory made the ascent of the Ben increasingly popular. In 2000, the Ben Nevis Estate, comprising all of the south side of the mountain including the summit, was bought by the Scottish conservation charity the John Muir Trust. Features of the area

What Species of Deer Has Antlers on Both Male & Female? | eHow What Species of Deer Has Antlers on Both Male & Female? Email Save Although there are several species of deer, only the reindeer and caribou are species where both males and females have antlers. Caribou males and reindeer males start growing their antlers in February, whereas the females start regrowing theirs in May. Unlike horns, which are permanent, antlers shed once a year. Many species of animals look like deer and look like they have antlers. However, species such as the gazelle have horns instead of antlers. Caribou Although reindeer and caribou are the same species, caribou are wild and larger than reindeer. Male caribou antlers reach 51 inches tall, whereas female antlers reach a length of about 20 inches, but can be smaller. Although both male and female caribou finish growing their antlers at the same time of year, they shed them at different times of the year. Males shed their antlers in November; however, females shed their antlers after winter at the start of the birthing season in May. Caribou are native to Europe, Asia, North America and Greenland. Reindeer Reindeer antlers are smaller than the antlers of caribou but are still large. Male reindeer antlers are at least 20 inches but are rarely larger than 50 inches. Female reindeer antlers can be as small as half the size of males and are rarely larger than 20 inches. Just like the caribou, reindeer males shed their antlers before winter and females shed theirs in the spring. Reindeer live in northern hemispheres such as Scandinavia, arctic North America and Greenland where they are herded domestically for food and resources as well as to pull sleds. More About Caribou and Reindeer Caribou and reindeer grow to 4 to 7 feet at the shoulder and can weigh up to 700 pounds. Like all deer, caribou and reindeer are herbivores, so when grass is hidden by snow, they eat lichens and moss over the winter as a food source. What Antlers Are Used For In other species of antler-bearing animals such as the white-tailed deer, only the male produces antlers to use for mating rights, like the caribou and reindeer do. However, female deer species do not fight for mating rights because they depend on speed and agility to outrun predators and dart into brush. In contrast, female caribou and reindeer use their antlers for protection from predators such as grizzly bears, wolves and eagles that feed on caribou young. Do female reindeer have antlers? | Reference.com Do female reindeer have antlers? A: Quick Answer Reindeer are the only species of deer in which both the females and males grow antlers. Female reindeer can grow antlers that are 20 inches long, and males can grow a 51 inch long rack of antlers. Antlers are shed and re-grown each year. Full Answer Male reindeer shed their antlers each fall and females shed theirs in the spring. Caribou and reindeer are the same species of deer. Reindeer were domesticated from caribou in Northern Eurasia several thousands of years ago. Reindeer are slightly smaller than caribou. Reindeer are raised by many Arctic people in Europe and Asia. They are adapted to living in the extreme cold. They can survive on Arctic lichens and have a unique hair structure that provides excellent insulation against the cold.

The Twelve Labors of Hercules Arts and Entertainment > Mythology The Twelve Labors of Hercules Hercules performed twelve labors given to him by King Eurystheus of Tiryns. For twelve years, he traveled all over to complete these incredible tasks. NOTE: Because different ancient poets gave their own accounts of Hercules's labors, some details may vary. One: Kill the Nemean Lion This monster of a lion had a hide was so tough that no arrow could pierce it. Hercules stunned the beast with his olive-wood club and then strangled it with his bare hands. It is said that he skinned the lion, using the lion's sharp claws, and ever after wore its hide. Two: Kill the Lernean Hydra The evil, snakelike Hydra had nine heads. If one got hurt, two would grow in its place. But Hercules quickly sliced off the heads, while his charioteer, Iolaus, sealed the wounds with a torch. Hercules made his arrows poisonous by dipping them in the Hydra's blood. Three: Capture the Cerynian Hind The goddess Artemis loved and protected this stubborn little deer, which had gold horns. Hercules found it a challenge to capture the delicate hind without hurting it (and making Artemis angry). After following the hind for an entire year, he safely carried it away. Four: Capture the Erymanthian Boar The people of Mount Erymanthus lived in fear of this deadly animal. Hercules chased the wild boar up the mountain and into a snowdrift. He then took it in a net and brought it to King Eurystheus, who was so frightened of the beast that he hid in a huge bronze jar. Five: Clean the Augean Stables Thousands of cows lived in these stables belonging to King Augeas . They had not been cleaned in 30 years, but Hercules was told to clean them completely in a single day. To do so he made two rivers bend so that they flowed into the stables, sweeping out the filth. Six: Kill the Stymphalian Birds These murderous birds lived around Lake Stymphalos. Their claws and beaks were sharp as metal and their feathers flew like darts. Hercules scared them out of their nests with a rattle and then killed them with the poison arrows he had made from the Hydra 's blood. Seven: Capture the Cretan Bull This savage bull, kept by King Minos of Crete, was said to be insane and breathe fire. Hercules wrestled the mad beast to the ground and brought it back to King Eurystheus. Unfortunately, the king set it free, and it roamed Greece, causing terror wherever it went. Eight: Capture the Horses of Diomedes King Diomedes , leader of the Bistones, fed his bloodthirsty horses on human flesh. Hercules and his men fought and killed King Diomedes and fed the king to his horses. This made the horses tame, so that Hercules was able to lead them to King Eurystheus. Nine: Take the Girdle of the Amazon Queen Hippolyte Hercules went to the land of the Amazons , where the queen welcomed him and agreed to give him her girdle for Eurystheus's daughter. But Hera spread the rumor that Hercules came as an enemy. In the end he had to conquer the Amazons and steal the golden belt. Ten: Capture the Cattle of Geryon Geryon , a winged monster with three human bodies, had a herd of beautiful red cattle. He guarded his prized herd with the help of a giant and a vicious two-headed dog. Hercules killed Geryon, the giant, and the dog and brought the cattle to King Eurystheus. Eleven: Take the Golden Apples of the Hesperides The Hesperides were nymphs. In their garden grew golden apples protected by Ladon , a dragon with a hundred heads. Hercules struck a bargain with Atlas , who held up the earth. Hercules shouldered the earth while Atlas, the nymphs' father, fetched the apples. Twelve: Capture Cerberus Hercules was ordered to capture Cerberus , the three-headed guard dog of the underworld, without using weapons. Hercules wrestled down the dog's wild heads, and it agreed to go with him to King Eurystheus. Cerberus was soon returned unharmed to the underworld.

Counties of England Counties in England Exploring the counties of England with history and pictures. The history of the counties of England dates back to early Anglo-Saxon times when âshiresâ were first formed as a way of raising taxes and when the nation of England was first created. These Anglo-Saxon shires usually had a fortified town at the centre, known back then as the âshire townâ. The word âCountyâ came later, being first introduced by the Normans when they conquered England back in 1066 and has its origins in French, simply meaning a jurisdiction under the sovereignty of a âCountâ. The words âcountyâ and âcountiesâ therefore are derived from French (from the Normans) but most of the county names themselves still kept (and retain today) their original Anglo-Saxon names, such as âWorcestershireâ or âBedfordshireâ which is simply the name of the shire or county town, with the suffix of shire. There are other counties however that got their name differently, such as Cornwall, and Devon, both of which take their names from the Celtic tribes that inhabited the regions, such as the âCornoviiâ in Cornwall . Other exceptions include todays Kent, which derives from the Kingdom of Kent, and Sussex (both East and West) and Essex. These names derive from the East Saxons (Essex) and the South Saxons (Sussex). The county names of Norfolk and Suffolk, derive from the âNorth Folkâ and âSouth Folkâ of the ancient Kingdom of East Anglia. Each county link below will take you to the main county page where we list all the wonderful historic towns, villages and attractions that each county has to offer. You will also find a Picture Tour for each county, offering a diverse selection of the wonderful towns, attractions and varying landscapes.

Which two creatures are supporting the shield on the Australian coat of arms?

Australian Coat of Arms Australian Coat of Arms & National Colours Australia's first national coat of arms was granted in 1908 and displayed the kangaroo and emu supporting the shield, and standing on a grassy mound. The second coat of arms, made in 1912, included the symbols of the states woven together in the central shield with a border symbolizing federation. The Australian Coat of Arms is the property of the Commonwealth of Australia and is used by the Commonwealth to authenticate documents, to indicate ownership of property, and for other purposes of identification. It may not be used or reproduced by others for other purposes without permission. The first grant of armorial ensigns, crest and supporters to the Commonwealth of Australia was made in 1908; a new design was granted by Royal Warrant in 1912. The Coat of Arms as used on a WW1 Certificate of Service A garden edging tile circa 1900 which bears a design very similar to the Coat of Arms. Some people claim that the Rising Sun depicted is the fore-runner to the AIF Rising Sun badge. The Commonwealth Arms are commonly but incorrectly referred to as the 'Commonwealth Crest'. Strictly the Crest is the device above shield and helmet on a coat of arms; in Australia's case it is the seven-pointed gold star on the wreath. The Australian Coat of Arms consists of: The Badges of the six States of the Commonwealth arranged on a shield in two rows of three columns: New South Wales - Golden Lion passant (right to left) on a red St George's Cross on a silver background (usually depicted white), with an 8-pointed star on each extremity of the cross. Victoria - White Southern Cross (one star of 8 points, 2 of 7 points one of 6 points and one of 5 points), beneath an Imperial Crown, on a blue background. Queensland - light blue Maltese Cross with an Imperial Crown at its Centre, on a white background. South Australia - the White-Backed Magpie (or Piping Shrike), erect, wings outstretched, on a yellow background. Western Australia - Black Swan swimming, left to right, on a yellow background. Tasmania - Red Lion passant (right to left) on a white background. The shield is enclosed by an ermine border, signifying the federation of the States into the Commonwealth. The Crest of the Arms, consisting of a seven-pointed gold star on a blue and gold wreath. Six points represent each of the States of the Commonwealth, the seventh point represents the Commonwealth Territories. The Supporters of the Coat of Arms, Australian endemic Fauna: the Kangaroo proper to the left and the Emu proper to the right. Usually the Arms are depicted in a compartment adorned with wattle (Acacia pycnantha) leaves and inflorescence, and a scroll with the word "AUSTRALIA" on it under the Arms. The wattle and the scroll and the rests for the Kangaroo and Emu do not constitute part of the Arms. Three colour combinations traditionally claim to be Australia's national colours: red, white and blue;

What is the area dialling code for Liverpool, England?

Liverpool - UK Codes - The Phone Book from BT The code for Liverpool is 0151 Dialling from abroad To dial 0151 from abroad, dial the international access code followed by the country code for the UK (44). Proceed to enter the local code 0151 without the first zero e.g. 151 followed by the remaining telephone number Liverpool 151 Area Code - Local Numbers by RingCentral UK Thank you for your interest in RingCentral A solutions specialist will contact you within 24 hours. If you'd like to speak with someone now, please call 1-877-857-9210. RingCentral Office Liverpool Area Code The original Liverpool area code was composed of only two figures and it was created out of the All Figure Dialling system which was popularly implemented back in the 1960's. All Figure Dialling was a popular call practice then and it entailed the exclusive use of numbers instead of mixing alphabets and numerals together when ringing a contact via phone. The two numbers that composed the Liverpool area code during that time was 5 and 1. Along with the trunk prefix 0, 5 and 1 were required to be dialled when a person was to call a place or person located in Liverpool. If for instance you are calling from another geographic location, the numerals 0, 5 and 1 would precede the number of your contact. The set 051 served as the Liverpool area code for quite some time until its supply was at the brink of exhaustion. As a precautionary measure, Ofcom (Office of Communications) made several improvisations on the area codes being used in the United Kingdom. They laid out several area code patterns that will be assigned to each and every single area in the country. The area code formation that was given to Liverpool was the 01X1 format. And the 151 area code was the set that was developed using that arrangement. The former area code was inserted with the digit 1 in the new area code, changing area code 051 to the 0151 area code. The places that utilize the 3-digit area codes are larger compared to regions that have longer area codes. This is because a shorter area code would be paired with a longer local number and longer area codes will have shorter local numbers joining them. This would result to a higher amount of supply for areas that utilize shorter area codes. As of today, the Liverpool area code is still using the 151 area code. It is actually one of the few places that use 3 numerals as their area code. Since it has a 3-digit area code, it would then be partnered with a 7-digit local numbers in order to be functional. Summing up the Liverpool local numbers along with the Liverpool area code and its trunk prefix 0 would compose 11 digits. This is the total number of figures that a caller must input on their phone to make a call. Both the trunk code and area code are permanent and will not change. But the Liverpool local numbers will be dependent upon what is given to them by the telecommunications service provider. Not being able to choose your own set of local numbers is not much of a problem. But if you can select your own local number then that would be advantageous for your business. RingCentral business phone systems allow you do just that. They can supply your company with US local numbers. This feature gives a significant advantage if most of your clients and customers are from the U.S. You can also opt to retain the same local number as your current location or select which number you would like callers to apply to contact you. You can choose numbers that would represent you company when converted to alphabets. This is more commonly known as alphanumeric numbers, which can be provided for by RingCentral vanity numbers. RingCentral communications systems also offer other features that would help your business. Internet fax, Voicemails, Virtaul PBX and Call controller are just among the many features that will aid you in achieving the optimum performance from your telecommunications system.

Which type of seeds are traditionally used in a recipe for seed cake?

Vintage Caraway Cake {anyone for tea?} | Foods of Our Lives Foods of Our Lives Share Vintage Caraway Seed Cake {anyone for tea?} This is a cake I saw in my vintage cake book that I am baking my way through and just had to make. It just sounded so completely different and I really didn’t know what to expect. I did read up on Caraway Seed and found that it has a slight anise flavor to it, but I didn’t read up on the origins of the cake until after I had made it and tried it. It took me a couple bites of the cake to figure out what I thought about it. I liked it, but it was kind of strange. But I thought to myself, it must be a tea cake. It just tastes like something you would have at tea. That’s why I looked up the history of the seed cake. According to Wikipedia, it was a popular cake in Great Britain to make after the harvest of the spring wheat. Caraway seeds were so popular that they were used in about 14 different recipes and were also popular in Ireland and Wales. Of course having already made the cake, I found out it is traditionally made in a loaf pan. I had made it in a square 8×8 pan….whoops. I also added the whipped cream on a whim because I thought it tasted good – don’t all cakes taste good with whipped cream? But it’s not really supposed to have whipped cream on it. Ha! Oh well….I liked it that way. This was an easy cake to make and I thoroughly enjoyed it and did end up having a slice with a bit of tea and it was very tasty. Vintage Caraway Seed Cake {anyone for tea?} BBC - Food - Caraway seeds recipes FAQs Caraway seeds recipes Not technically seeds, these are the split halves of the dried fruits of a plant that are used as a spice. They grow in East and South East Europe, the Netherlands, North Africa and the USA. They are brown, long, narrow, slightly curved, ridged, and pointed at both ends.

The movie follows Morrison from his days as a film student in Los Angeles to his death in Paris in 1971, at the age of 27. The movie features a tour-de-force performance by Val Kilmer, who not only looks like Jim Morrison's long-lost twin brother, but also sounds so much like him that he did much of his own singing. It has been written that even the surviving Doors had trouble distinguishing Kilmer's vocals from Morrison's originals. Category

Photograph: David Rogers/Getty Images Tuesday 6 September 2011 11.00 EDT First published on Tuesday 6 September 2011 11.00 EDT Share on Messenger Close 24 years in 140 characters: Got the drop on Australia to win in 03 but were denied by Aussie TMO in 07. Also finalists in 91 but took a whaling from Jonah four years on Coach: Martin Johnson Record in 2011: P8 W6 L2 World Cup record: 2003: Winners 2007: Runners-up How are they likely to get on? If the World Cup was being played in 12 months' time, England would be stronger contenders. As it is they are a team learning on the hoof, vulnerable to opponents who neutralise their forward strength. They should still finish top of the pool but both Argentina and Scotland may make it hard for them to generate any rhythm. The emergence of Manu Tuilagi, though, has finally presented Martin Johnson with a genuine midfield threat and if Ben Youngs and Courtney Lawes play to their full potential, England can certainly reach the last four. Key player: Chris Ashton. When England are at their best, the Northampton wing seems to be everywhere. His support lines and try-scoring instincts could be the difference in tight games. Commentator's kit: Until the age of 16, the flanker Tom Croft was a member of the West Berkshire Youth Dance Group, studying contemporary, modern and street dancing. He says it contributed to his notable agility and suppleness.

Which part of the body does a cariogenic affect?

Diet, cariogenic | Article about Diet, cariogenic by The Free Dictionary Diet, cariogenic | Article about Diet, cariogenic by The Free Dictionary http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Diet%2c+cariogenic Dental Caries an affection of the solid tissues of the teeth manifested by their gradual destruction (enamel, dentin, cemen-tum) and the formation of cavities. The causes of dental caries are varied and have not been completely determined. According to the chemical-parasitic theory, it results from the mineral part of the teeth being dissolved by acids formed in the mouth during the breakdown of the carbohydrates in food; the organic portion of the teeth is subsequently decomposed by microbes. Dental caries may also develop without the action of microbes as a result of metabolic disturbances in the dental tissues. Diet is an important factor in the origin of dental caries. Dental caries was induced experimentally by giving animals food containing a large quantity of sugar. In localities where the drinking water is low in fluorine, the incidence of dental caries is particularly high. The individual enzyme peculiarities of the body, diseases, a mother’s diet during pregnancy, improper artificial feeding of infants, and rickets also affect the incidence of dental caries. Caries generally affects the teeth of the upper jaw, especially the fifth milk and first molar teech. The carious process is usually concentrated near natural depressions on the tooth surface and on the contiguous surfaces in the neck of a tooth (region next to the gum). The disease starts with the formation of a defect in the enamel or neck part of the cementum projecting freely into the mouth. On reaching the dentin, the process spreads wide and deep, forming a carious cavity. Once started, the process does not stop but gradually progresses. The enamel loses its luster and transparency at the site of dental caries, and pigmentation and roughness appear. When the integrity of the enamel is impaired, pain is felt on eating sweet, acid, salty, hot, or cold food. Dental caries is usually chronic. Acute dental caries is generally found in young people, and it is often due to a disturbance of internal secretion. Treatment consists in restoration of the anatomical structure and function of the tooth by filling it. The procedure involves removal of the soft dentin and formation of a suitable cavity to hold the filling. Prevention consists in taking action to increase tooth resistance to caries (providing the body with the essential salts, chiefly calcium and phosphorus, and vitamin D) during formation and mineralization of the teeth (from the fourth to fifth month of intrauterine development to age 11 years). After the teeth erupt prevention consists in proper diet and oral hygiene. REFERENCES

Ken Bruce 'to be replaced by Simon Mayo on BBC Radio 2' - Telegraph Celebrity news Ken Bruce 'to be replaced by Simon Mayo on BBC Radio 2' Ken Bruce is set to lose his job as the host of Radio 2's mid-morning show, angering listeners already infuriated by the station's efforts to attract younger listeners. Ken Bruce is to be replaced by Radio 5 Live presenter Simon Mayo Photo: DAVID ROSE By Matthew Moore 4:23PM GMT 09 Nov 2008 The veteran disc jockey, who has worked at the BBC for 26 years, is to be replaced by Radio 5 Live presenter Simon Mayo, his occasional stand-in. Bruce's 9.30am show is one of the most popular on British radio, regularly attracting up to seven million listeners, many of whom have already expressed their anger at the decision. Craig Wilson, who helped found the Ken Bruce Appreciation Group on social networking website on Facebook, said: "I think it's an absolute travesty that Radio 2 are getting rid of one of their truly talented presenters. This is not what the station needs at the moment - it should be hanging on to its jewels in its crown. " Other fans registered their protest on internet message boards. One wrote: "I sincerely hope they do not replace Ken with Simon Mayo. He is not a patch on Ken when he has sat in for him." Bruce's departure - which follows the exits of Radio 2 favourites Jimmy Young and Johnnie Walker from their weekday slots - is reported to have been one of the final decisions taken by Lesley Douglas, the Radio 2 controller who was forced to resign last month over the prank phone calls made by Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross. Related Articles BBC forced to change apology to Andrew Sachs after further complaint 09 Nov 2008 It was Mrs Douglas who spearheaded the station's drive to appeal to a younger audience, including hiring Brand, a decision known to have alienated long-serving Radio 2 broadcasters. Bruce, 57, is expected leave the station after Radio 5 Live completes its long-awaited moved to Manchester around 2011. Mayo, 50, who currently hosts the news and sport station's afternoon show, was known to have been reluctant to move his young family north and has been offered Bruce's slot to help keep him at the BBC. "Simon was concerned that the plan would be scrapped following Lesley Douglas's resignation after the Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand scandal," a Radio 2 insider told a Sunday newspaper. "But Simon made some calls last week and has been assured that it will all go ahead and he will still be taking over the Ken Bruce show." Bruce, who grew up in Glasgow, joined the BBC Scotland after failing to make the grade as an accountant. He moved to Radio 2 to Saturday Late Show in 1984, and briefly replaced Sir Terry Wogan as host of the breakfast show before taking up the mid-morning slot. He is currently writing his autobiography, and has expressed a desire end his career north of the border. His biography on the Radio 2 website ends: "Ken is content to remain at Radio 2 until the call comes to restore him to his rightful place on the Throne of Scotland." A BBC spokeswoman said Bruce had recently signed a new contract at the station, but did not disclose its length. Bruce and Mayo could not be contacted for comment.

Lake Geneva travel guide - Wikitravel 11 Get out For other places with the same name, see Lake Geneva (disambiguation) . Lake Geneva, known in French as Lac Léman, is one of the largest lakes in western Europe. It lies on the course of the Rhone river on the frontier between France and Switzerland . Aside from the city and canton of Geneva most destinations in the Lake Geneva region are in either the Swiss canton of Vaud or the French department of Haute Savoie . For its part Vaud is the largest canton in the French speaking part of Switzerland, and the third largest in the country as a whole. The geography is varied, with the Jura mountains in the north, a hilly plain in the center and in the southwest the Alps. The main attractions of the region are the cities and towns surrounding the lake, the opportunities for skiing and hiking in both mountain ranges, and of course the lake itself. Talk[ edit ] The shores of Lake Geneva are entirely French speaking, though you will also hear Swiss German, Italian, and English. In Geneva and Lausanne, it is not uncommon for people around you to be having conversations in four different languages. By air[ edit ] The only airport in this region is in Geneva (Genève-Cointrin). It is smaller than the airport in Zürich , but very heavily internationally connected due to the UN's presence in Geneva. You can also easily fly into Zürich and catch an express train south. By train[ edit ] The TGV from France and the Cisalpino from Italy stop in Geneva, Lausanne, Vevey, and Montreux. From Germany or Austria you will have to change in Basel or Zürich. Get around[ edit ] Most towns on Lake Geneva are served by the boats of the Compagnie Génerale de navigation (CGN) . As well as modern boats, CGN operates five heritage paddle steamers build at the beginning of the 20th century. On some routes, boats are the fastest mean of transport (between Lausanne and Evian, for example). On most other routes though, boats are much slower than trains, but they often offer more scenic views. Private boat tours and transfers from Geneva to any port on the lake is by Léman Transfers. Groups of up to 6 passengers can be privately chauffeured around the lake. - Léman Transfers . Cruise on Lake Leman · Lomography 2010-08-05 1 4 Share Tweet If you want to feel the wind on your face and feel the relaxing mist of the sea, go to Switzerland and have a look see at Lake Geneva. Cruising on the lake is a very nice way to enjoy the beautiful landscapes of Lake Leman which is one of the biggest lakes in Europe. Lake Geneva (named lac Léman in French) is the largest lake in Western Europe. It lies between France and Switzerland. The southern shore belongs to France. The lake is 70 km long, and is skirted by vineyards and beautiful sun-drenched towns (many with shore side castles) on the Swiss side, and dominated by the French Alps on the south side. There are many options ranging from simple cross-lake passenger ferries in Geneva to longer sightseeing trips ans dinner cruises departing from various lake-side towns, including Geneva, Nyon, Yvoire, Evian, Lausanne, Vevey and Montreux. The largest number of departures is from Geneva on the southwestern point of the lake while cruises also operate regularly from towns on the opposite end of the lake such as Montreux, Vevey, and Lausanne. I experimented two boats : first, I took the CGN ferry from Evian-les-bains to Lausanne. The trip lasts about half an hour. I took a few pics with my Diana Mini. In Lausanne, I photographed a beautiful Belle Epoque paddle steamer from 1927, named The Rhône. I didn’t take it because it goes from Lausanne to Vevey, and I hadn’t enough time. I had to go back to Geneva and had two choices: either the train, or by the boat. There is only one boat per day from Lausanne to Geneva. The boat is much longer (3 hours) than the train (30 minutes), but she offers more scenic views.

Stretch Armstrong : Memory Glands – Funny Nostalgic Photos Stretch Armstrong Stretch Armstrong was a large, gel-filled action figure first introduced in 1976 by Kenner. Stretch Armstrong was in the shape of a well-muscled blonde man wearing a pair of swimming trunks. Its most notable feature was that the doll could be stretched from its original size (about 15 inches) to four or five feet. However, if a tear did develop it could be fixed with an adhesive bandage. A vacuum pump which attached to the heads of these figures removed the air from within, which would “freeze” the toy in its stretched position. The doll was reissued in the 1990s with a canine sidekick, “Fetch Armstrong”. He also has an evil brother named Evil X-ray Wretch Armstrong who has a skull face, sports a mohawk and also stretches. Wretch Armstong seems to be a redesigned, smaller remake of Stretch X-Ray.

Beetle Drive Beetle Drive A Beetle Drive is a cheap and easy fundraiser Perfect for kids but adults can have a lot of fun too! A beetle drive is a very simple fundraiser based on the popular kids game beetle. It requires very little to put on and organise. Beetle is an old family favourite so suitable for all sorts of fundraising events with adults and children playing together. It also makes a brilliant church or school fundraiser and is something that an older group of children could organise and run themselves. How to play Beetle The aim of the game of Beetle is to be the first player to draw a complete beetle. The body parts are each given a number. 6 - The Body - (1 per beetle) 5 - The Head - (1 per beetle) 4 - The Wings - (2 per beetle) 3 - The Legs - (6 per beetle) 2 - The Antenna - (2 per beetle) 1 - The Eyes - (2 per beetle) Players take turns to roll a die and can add the corresponding body part to their beetle. They must however throw a 6 first for the body before they can add any other part. Players may only add the correct number of body parts to their beetle for instance only 2 wings, a further throw of number 4 resulting in no addition and the die being passed on. Some player's beetles will be drawn quite rapidly other players will flounder unable to throw the correct score on the die to complete their beetle. The minute one player has completed their picture they shout Beetle and that is the end of that game How to organise a Beetle Drive A Beetle Drive is a mass game of beetle. Players sit around tables in groups of four. Each player has a sheet usually with 9 or 12 boxes in which to draw their beetles. On "GO" the game starts with each group of players trying furiously to complete their beetles. The minute any player in the room complete their beetle they shout "BEETLE" and the whole room stops immediately. All players then add up the number of body parts they have added to their own beetle scoring one point for each part to a maximum of 14 for a completed beetle. The highest scorer from each table then moves to the next table in a clockwise direction whilst the lowest scorer moves anti-clockwise. When everyone is sitting at their new tables the organiser shouts "GO" another round is played. This continues for up to 12 rounds if time allows. Each player keeps a running total of their scores and at the end of the last round the person with the highest score is crowned Champion / King of the Beetles / Golden Beetle and given an appropriate prize. During play winners of individual rounds could also be given small prizes. Free Download Download, print off or photocopy for your own fundraising event - Beetle Drive Game Sheet How to run a Beetle fundraiser Beetle makes a particularly good fundraising idea for children but the idea will work for all sorts of groups. A nice easy family fundraiser. To make money charge each player a set amount for their Beetle Sheet which only cost a few pence to print or buy. You will also have to provide a die and pencils for each table Remembering the fundraiser's mantra - "If you see a crowd sell 'em something" Don't forget to then sell refreshments, hold a raffle and have a stall of other fundraising products for people to buy.

Counties of England Counties in England Exploring the counties of England with history and pictures. The history of the counties of England dates back to early Anglo-Saxon times when âshiresâ were first formed as a way of raising taxes and when the nation of England was first created. These Anglo-Saxon shires usually had a fortified town at the centre, known back then as the âshire townâ. The word âCountyâ came later, being first introduced by the Normans when they conquered England back in 1066 and has its origins in French, simply meaning a jurisdiction under the sovereignty of a âCountâ. The words âcountyâ and âcountiesâ therefore are derived from French (from the Normans) but most of the county names themselves still kept (and retain today) their original Anglo-Saxon names, such as âWorcestershireâ or âBedfordshireâ which is simply the name of the shire or county town, with the suffix of shire. There are other counties however that got their name differently, such as Cornwall, and Devon, both of which take their names from the Celtic tribes that inhabited the regions, such as the âCornoviiâ in Cornwall . Other exceptions include todays Kent, which derives from the Kingdom of Kent, and Sussex (both East and West) and Essex. These names derive from the East Saxons (Essex) and the South Saxons (Sussex). The county names of Norfolk and Suffolk, derive from the âNorth Folkâ and âSouth Folkâ of the ancient Kingdom of East Anglia. Each county link below will take you to the main county page where we list all the wonderful historic towns, villages and attractions that each county has to offer. You will also find a Picture Tour for each county, offering a diverse selection of the wonderful towns, attractions and varying landscapes.

Lana Del Rey announces new album title: Ultraviolence | Music | The Guardian Lana Del Rey announces new album title: Ultraviolence US singer shuns her doubts about continuing with music career and confirms plans for second album 'My muse is fickle' … Lana Del Rey had given mixed messages about the future of her career. Photograph: Jason Laveris/FilmMagic Thursday 5 December 2013 11.42 EST First published on Thursday 5 December 2013 11.42 EST Close This article is 3 years old After a year of hinting at retirement, Lana Del Rey has revealed that her second album will be entitled Ultraviolence. Speaking at a the premiere of her short film, Tropico , at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, the singer told the audience: "I really just wanted us all to be together so I could try and visually close out my chapter before I release the new record, Ultraviolence." While there are no further details regarding the followup to 2012's Born to Die, the word "ultra-violence" was used in Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange in reference to the droogs' favourite pastime of crazed sprees of brutality and mayhem. News of Del Rey's second album comes at the end of a year of mixed messages from the singer. In February she suggested that she might be finished with music altogether. "What would I say?" she told Vogue when asked about a new album. "I feel like everything I wanted to say, I've said already." When announcing her short film Tropico this summer, the star described it as her "farewell project" and also told Nylon magazine in November's issue that she was unsure she could make a second album: "When people ask me about it, I just have to be honest – I really don't know," said Del Rey. "I don't want to say, 'Yeah, definitely – the next one's better than this one,' because I don't really hear a next one. My muse is very fickle. She only comes to me sometimes, which is annoying." Tropico is a film based around stories from the Bible: "It's Elvis and Jesus and Marilyn and extraterrestrials all in one." Lasting almost 30 minutes, the Anthony Mandler film stars albino model Shaun Ross alongside the singer, and is available to stream from Vevo. Lizzy Grant was a flop, changed her name to Lana Del Rey and was acclaimed as a new star. But the backlash from fans who felt duped has been unprecedented.

Then to answer, say ... continue reading below our video How to Say the Dates in French est + the day of the week. Quel jour est la fête ? La fête / Elle est samedi. What day is the party? The party / It is on Saturday. Quand est le repas ? Le repas / Il est lundi. When is the meal? The meal / It is on Monday. When asking which day an annual event will fall on, say Quel jour / Quand tombe ... cette année ? (Note that this question is for when you know the date of the event. To ask about an actual date rather than just the day of the week, see page 1 .) Quel jour tombe ton anniversaire (cette année) ? C'est dimanche. What day is your birthday (this year)? It's (on) Sunday. Quand tombe Halloween (cette année) ? C'est mercredi. When (What day) is Halloween this year? It's (on) Wednesday. Definite articles When talking about the day of the week something happened or will happen, you may or may not need a definite article , depending on how far the event is in the past or future and whether it is a one-time event. 1) For an event that occurred last week or will occur next week, you do not need an article. Generally speaking, this is equivalent to using the word "this" in English: Il est arrivé samedi. He arrived on Saturday, He arrived this Saturday. Nous allons faire des achats mercredi. We're going to go shopping on Wednesday, this Wednesday. 2) If it occurs further in the past or future, you do need an article. In the English translation, you're likely to need the word "that": Il est arrivé le samedi (de cette semaine-là). He arrived that Saturday, He arrived that week on Saturday. Nous allons faire des achats le mercredi (avant la fête). We're going to go shopping that Wednesday (before the party). 3) You also need the definite article when talking about something that occurred, occurs, or will occur on that same day more than once: Il arrivait le samedi. He used to arrive on Saturdays, every Saturday. Nous faisons des achats le mercredi. We go shopping on Wednesdays. Je ne vais plus travailler le vendredi. I'm not going to work on Fridays any more. Day of the week + date When including the day of the week in answer to the question "what's the date?" , there's one slightly tricky aspect to be aware of in French: the day of the week should be placed between the definite article and the numeric date. C'est On est + le + day + date + month (+ year) Nous sommes C'est le samedi 8 avril. It's Saturday, 8 April / the 8th of April / April 8th. Nous sommes le lundi premier octobre 2012. It's Monday, October 1st, 2012. Or if you really want to say the day of the week first, just be sure to pause before following with the date. On est mardi... le 16 juillet. It's Tuesday... July 16th.

Sharks: the men in grey suits - ABC Sydney - Australian Broadcasting Corporation 3 July, 2012 10:08AM AEST Sharks: the men in grey suits By Ella Kennedy Share Glenn Orgias hit the headlines in 2009 when he was attacked by shark while surfing at Bondi. Just the day before, Navy diver Paul de Gelder had also been viciously attacked by a shark in Sydney Harbour What were the chances? "Surfers refer to sharks as men in grey suits, they are the guys out there doing their business without bothering us," Glenn explained to Adam Spencer. It was dusk when Glenn hit the waves on that fateful day. Like any surfer he'd thought about sharks. "It was something that was at the back of my mind, but it was something i kind of dismissed" . At first, Glenn didn't realise he'd been attacked. "I remember feeling a heavy hit against my arm, like I'd fallen on my arm or been hit by a cricket bat" "I thought instinctively I'd been tangled up with another surfer". The juvenile Great White then took hold of Glenn and " shook him around for a few seconds" before thankfully letting him go. Glenn's hand was hanging by just a thread of skin - but somehow he made it back the beach. "If you are going to get attacked by a shark, make sure it's at Bondi," Glenn said - as he was swamped by off duty doctors who came to his aid. Glenn now has a mechanised hand and lower arm, but this hasn't stopped him getting back on the surfboard. He tells his full story in his new book " Man in a Grey Suit". Have a listen to Adam's full interview here.

Sidecar Cocktail Recipe You must be logged in to post a comment. Adding comment … aronsjoberggmailcom515827292 posted 7 months ago I like the so-called French version of the Sidecar, with equal parts of cognac/brandy, Cointreau and lemon juice! San Francisco posted 6 years ago I have had trouble with the Sidecar too. It is a bar favorite for me, but to get the best drink at home, I find I need add to the traditional recipe: 1.5 oz. Remy Martin VSOP cognac, 1 oz lemon juice, .75 oz Cointreau and .25 oz. simple syrup in a sugar-frosted cocktail glass. This one, like most cocktails needs a real good stir to get enough water into the mix. J. MPK posted 6 years ago I bought a bottle of Cointreau a while ago for some recipe or another that my wife was making and they a small orange plastic shaker attached to the top. The shaker had markings for the correct proportions for a Sidecar, a margarita, etc. Just fill to the proper level for each ingredient. Simple and convenient. I had never had a Sidecar before and now I must say it is becoming one of my favorite cocktails. The proportions are the same as in the above recipe. TinyInThePark posted 6 years ago I use 2.5oz. Brandy, 1oz triple sec or cointreu, and lemon juice from a bottle. I use Christian Bros brandy. but I shake it over ice and pour entire contents into a low ball. TotheMoonAlice posted 6 years ago I would love a good recommendation for brandy or Cognac for the Sidecar. I don't have a grand liquor budget and don't keep Cognac on hand, but I might if I knew what was a good value -- or even a solid brandy. I was surprised to hear that a local restaurant that takes pride in it's cocktails used Christian Brothers brandy for their sidecar. Still, when I make it at home it doesn't taste as good -- I do use fresh lemon juice and Cointreau. Of course, the ratios I've been using seem too "simple" to have been well-honed (two parts brandy/Cognac to one part each fresh lemon juice and Cointreau)... So if anyone has more finely-tune ratios, I'd love to hear them! A.

To find the sum of the interior angles of an octagon, divide it up into triangles... There are six triangles... Because the sum of the angles of each triangle is 180 degrees... We get So, the sum of the interior angles of an octagon is 1080 degrees. Regular Octagons:The properties of regular octagons: All sides are the same length (congruent) and all interior angles are the same size (congruent). To find the measure of the angles, we know that the sum of all the angles is 1080 degrees (from above)... And there are eight angles... So, the measure of the interior angle of a regular octagon is 135 degrees. The measure of the central angles of a regular octagon: To find the measure of the central angle of a regular octagon, make a circle in the middle... A circle is 360 degrees around... Divide that by eight angles... So, the measure of the central angle of a regular octagon is 45 degrees. Popular Topics 8 1080 The more sides (and angles) we have in an object, the more the angles inside the shape add up to! We could even write a formula like this ... Angles inside a polygon add up to = 180 � (number of sides - 2) If we just kept adding more and more sides until the number of sides gets to infinity, what shape would we have? A CIRCLE!

Homepage - Northampton Saints © 2016 Northampton Saints. Privacy & Cookies . Website by X Wasps end losing streak at Franklins Gardens to upset Northampton Saints - Rugby - International | Sport360 article:30th January 2016 Fronting up: Nathan Hughes. Impressive Wasps defeated Northampton Saints in testing conditions to win at Franklin’s Gardens for the first time since for 11 years. Scrum-half Dan Robson scored their first try when he raced through a gap and touched down before Rob Miller pounced for a second five-pointer. Josh Bassett’s score helped stretch it 24-3 to the visitors at the break. Sam Dickinson went over in the corner for Saints but a comeback never looked likely. Wasps Director of Rugby, Dai Young, said: “We’ve got to enjoy it. It’s more than 10 years since we last won here, so hopefully it won’t be another 10 years again. I thought the boys really made the right decisions – I couldn’t have asked any more of them.” Meanwhile, Saracens boss Mark McCall has backed his squad to thrive during what he admits is a “very demanding” phase of their campaign. The current Premiership leaders will be without England contingent Owen Farrell, Alex Goode, Mako Vunipola, Jamie George, George Kruis and Billy Vunipola for today’s Allianz Park appointment with ninth-placed Bath. While England and their new head coach Eddie Jones focus on the Six Nations Championship, which starts next week, Saracens’ mission is purely a relentless pursuit of more priceless points. “Our attention is solely focused on a challenging block of Premiership games throughout the Six Nations,” Saracens rugby director McCall said. “From the beginning of the season, we knew this period of the season would be very demanding, and we are confident that we have the calibre of players across the squad to thrive during this run of games. “Bath will be a real test of where we are at squad-wise, as they are a quality outfit and we know that they possess some very good players who are capable of winning big games.” Saracens go into battle with a three-point advantage over fellow European Champions Cup quarterfinalists Exeter, who visit Worcester on Sunday, while fellow play-off contenders Harlequins and Leicester will also look to consolidate top-four places this weekend. #360view: Hartley a short-term fix as Jones plays long game Quins are away to Newcastle on Sundaym with Leicester in action at Gloucester 24 hours earlier, where they will be without England centre Manu Tuilagi, who is sidelined by a hamstring injury after just three comeback appearances following serious groin trouble that meant he was unavailable for 15 months. “Manu has just tweaked a hamstring, which will probably mean a couple of weeks out,” Leicester rugby director Richard Cockerill said. For their part, Gloucester return to domestic action following an unbeaten march to the European Challenge Cup quarter-finals. “It is going to be a huge test for us,” rugby director David Humphreys said. “They (Leicester) are a team who have been going well. They were obviously successful last year, finishing in the top four.” Fixtures - Northampton Saints Fixtures © 2016 Northampton Saints. Privacy & Cookies . Website by X

Florida Map, Map of Florida USA, Detailed FL Map Florida Panhandle Map About Florida The state of Florida is located in the southeastern region of the United States. The Sunshine State is famous for sunny weather, pulpier oranges, glamorous coastline, abundant golf courses, and amusement parks. Florida achieved statehood on March 3, 1845. It's the third most populous and the 22nd most extensive state of the US. History of Florida Archaeological evidence shows that the first inhabitants in the state were the Paleo-Indians who arrived some 14,000 years ago. Before the Europeans landed here in the 16th century, several American Indian tribes lived in the region such as Apalachee, Tocobaga, Timucua, Calusa, and Tequesta. The Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon was the first European to set foot in the region in 1513. Over the following hundred years, Florida was settled by the Spanish and the French. Great Britain was able to gain control over the region after defeating French and the Peace of Paris was implemented in 1763. The Spanish regained control over the East and West Florida regions after defeating the English. By 1819, both regions were given to the United States for $5 million under the Adams-Onis Treaty, and were united once again. Geography of Florida Florida is located in the southeastern USA. It borders Alabama and Georgia to the North, the Atlantic Ocean to the East, the Gulf of Mexico to the West, and the straits of Florida to its South. Its proximity to the Bahamas and South American countries has created a unique culture that is quintessentially Floridian.

It has a total of 19 metropolitan areas, with Miami being the largest in the state and in the southeastern US. Jacksonville is the most populous city in FL, and also the largest city by area in the contiguous US. Tourism in Florida Over 60 million people visit the state each year due to balmy weather and hundreds of miles of pristine coastline. From Art Deco architecture of downtown Miami to old-school Aviles Street of St Augustine, Florida is truly an ideal holiday destination.

ENpodcast - Free english podcasts - Freddie Mercury Tweet Freddie Mercury Freddie Mercury was the most famous and legendary rock star of all times. His real name was Farrokh Bulsara. However, even his official passport read Frederick Mercury. He hated if somebody called him anything but Freddie. He chose his first name prior to his arrival to England. He added “Mercury” when Queen first started. Though Freddie was homosexual and never concealed it, he had a wife. Her name was Mary Austin. They were always incredibly close. Freddie was always saying that she was his best friend and that he didn't want any other friends except her. The song “Love Of My Life” was about Mary. After his death, Freddie left her most of his money, his house and his recording royalties. Freddie Mercury was a big cat lover. He had more than ten cats and he even wrote a song about his favorite one Delilah. While on tour, from time to time Freddie called home to talk to his pets. Mary brought the cats to the phone so they could listen to him speak. Freddie Mercury graduated Ealing Art College and took the degree in Art and Graphic design. He was the one who designed the Queen emblem also known as “The Queen Crest.” Mercury was the legendary performer. He had a recorded range of three, almost four, octaves. Most of his singing fell in the tenor range. Freddie never thought of himself as a great pianist. He was always afraid of performing “Bohemian Rhapsody” in concert. He worried that he would mess everything up. Later he didn't use the piano in his records that much. Therefore, in the concerts he was free to run and dance during his performances. Though Freddie was so full of pep on the stage, he was a very shy person in his life and rarely gave interviews. He always felt very lonely and tried to fight this feeling with the help of countless parties. Freddie's assistants always had to have a pen and paper with them in case inspiration suddenly hit. Lyrics for “Life is real” were written while he was flying over the Atlantic Ocean. Lyrics for “Crazy little thing called love” Freddie made up while taking a bath. He suddenly got inspired and started to write a song. He even had a piano brought to the bathroom so he could compose. In the concert, Freddie Mercury was in the best shape only after some great emotional stress. Once there was an incident with his current boyfriend Bill Reid. They bawled on each other for several hours. Next day Freddie woke up completely hoarse. Since Queen was scheduled to perform on Saturday Night Live, the entire day Freddie tried to get his voice back. Freddie Mercury was an amazing singer! He was always so abundantly and deliciously alive. He created so many unfading masterpieces. However, his impetuous way of life ruined him. He died in the prime of life. As they say, the good die young. Vocabulary list: prior to – задолго до, в преддверии to conceal – скрывать, утаивать to take degree – получать степень crest – гребень, плюмаж range – диапазон; ряд, линия, цепь to mess up – портить, проваливать full of pep – заводной, полон энергии stage – сцена to fight back – подавлять, бороться (с чувствами) countless – бессчётный, бесчисленный to bawl – кричать во всю глотку hoarse – охрипший to schedule – назначать, намечать, планировать to board – подниматься на борт (самолета) to find out – узнавать to substitute (for) – заменить (на) to be abundantly and deliciously alive – вести интересную и яркую жизнь unfading – незабываемый impetuous – импульсивный, горячий; пылкий, страстный to ruin – губить, погубить

Which Internet search engine was shortened to Ask.com in 2006?

|
About Ask Jeeves | eHow About Ask Jeeves Ask.com AskJeeves is the name of a popular search engine from 1995 to 2006. Although the AskJeeves search engine still exists, it's title has been shortened to just Ask.com. The AskJeeves service represented a text-based search engine that encouraged users to enter questions instead of search terms. Although the Ask service has seen its share of controversies, especially in the marketing realm, the Ask service still remains a fixture in the modern search landscape. History AskJeeves.com was founded in 1996 and was one of the first Internet search engines, along with Yahoo! and Google. AskJeeves was unique among its peers because it used a natural speech analyzer that allowed people to type in questions. AskJeeves' engine was able to pick out relevant keywords and provide "answers" to search questions. The engine had a very stoic look and featured a butler character until 2006, when the "Jeeves" was phased out. Ask.com remains one of the top five search engines (behind Google, Yahoo!, MSN and AOL). Significance Ask.com is significant as the only one of the big five search engines that analyzes "natural speech" inputs instead of just keywords. Although Google does analyze some natural speech (words like "to" and "in" can be translated to mean directions or Yellow Pages listings), Ask's technology is very sophisticated yet easily accessible for non-keyword-savvy users. Function The Ask.com search engine is designed to facilitate an easy search experience for those who have a question they want to "ask" the Internet. Its primary function is to serve the searching needs of those who are uncomfortable confining what they are looking for into simplistic terms. It also serves as a direct competitor to Google and Yahoo!, as evidenced by the "Information Revolution" series of ads, which asserted that "75% of the information on the web flowed through Google" and "one source isn't choice." Time Frame Ask.com has been in existence since 1996, debuting after Internet staples like Yahoo! but before Google. It still exists today and has enjoyed almost 13 years as a relevant search engine. It was independent until 1995, when it was acquired by IAC Interactive Corp. Potential Although Ask.com is no longer aiming at Internet mainstay Google, it has struggled to remain relevant and its parent company has recently acquired Research.com, dictionary.com, and thesaurus.com. Since these sites are already very popular, Ask.com may utilize the power of these sites in a more language-focused search.

Noel-Baker School - School History School History School Status: School is Open School History In September 1960, Noel-Baker opened its doors to staff and pupils for the first time. Noel-Baker Technical School, as it was then called, welcomed both girls and boys from year one to year three but only boys were allowed in year four. The curriculum was designed to be less academic than the town’s two Grammar Schools, with more emphasis on practical and vocational subjects, including woodwork and metalwork for the boys and needlework and domestic science for the girls. The School is named after Philip Noel-Baker, Member of Parliament for Derby South. As an athlete, Philip Noel-Baker was the flag bearer and silver medallist in the 1920 Olympics held in Antwerp Belgium. He was also a Nobel Peace Prize winner and holds the distinction of being the only person to have won an Olympic medal and also received a Nobel Prize. The first Head Teacher was Albert Buchan, who brought several of his students from Allenton Technical School. Since Mr Buchan, there have been six Head Teachers. Glyn John oversaw the change from Technical School to comprehensive in the early 1970’s, when Noel-Baker merged with Southgate School. In 1989 the school became a Community College. Current Head Teacher Mal Kerr has brought the school into the 21st century with the planning and building of the Derwent Campus, which provides education for girls and boys of all abilities from year seven to year thirteen in the state-of-the-art award winning buildings and facilities on Bracknell Drive, Alvaston. One person who has witnessed all the changes is Governor Freda Daniel. In 1960 Freda was appointed the school’s first needlework teacher. Her husband Geoff was a geography teacher from 1963 until his death in 1989. Freda left teaching in 1968 and became a parent governor in 1987 and has served continuously since. Freda was appointed Chair of Governors in 2003 and in 2013 when Freda Daniel retired from the Chair of Governors role Alan Larkins became chairman.

Cycling at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games: Men's Madison | Olympics at Sports-Reference.com Cycling at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games: Men's Madison Date Started: August 19, 2008 Date Finished: August 19, 2008 Format: 240 laps (60 km) with a sprint every 20 laps (5 km). Sprint points awarded - 5-3-2-1 - to the first four finishers. Gold: Russia Summary The Madison was ridden over 50 km. (200 laps) with 10 sprints held every 20 laps. The heavy favorites were 2008 World Champions, [Mark Cavendish] and [Bradley Wiggins] of Great Britain. Cavendish had won four sprint stages at the 2008 Tour de France, while Wiggins would win gold in both pursuit races in Beijing. The race was a low-scoring affair, with Argentina, Spain, and Russia gaining an early lap on the other 13 teams and contesting the medals, Argentina winning gold with 8 points, to 7 for Spain, and 6 for Russia. Spain was led by [Juan Llaneras], winner of the gold medal in the 2008 points race (and the 2000 points race), while Russia was led by the 2004 points race gold medalist, [Mikhail Ignatyev]. Argentina’s [Juan Esteban Curuchet] was competing in his sixth Olympics, at 43-years-old, but this was his first Olympic medal. He and his partner, [Walter Pérez], had won the World Championship in 2004. Cavendish and Wiggins missed the winning breakaways, and finished only ninth. Llaneras was riding with [Antonio Tauler]. His primary partner in the past few years had been [Isaac Gálvez], with whom he had won the Worlds in 1999 and 2006. In November 2006, he Llaneras and Gálvez entered the Six Days of Ghent but in that race, Gálvez crashed and hit the railing, dying from his injuries.

The Olympics Opening Ceremony Home > Events > Olympics > Summer > Traditions > Opening Ceremony The Olympic Opening Ceremony The opening ceremony at the Olympic Games has become a major entertainment spectacle, costing many millions of dollars to stage. It has come a long way since the first opening ceremonies held during the 1908 Olympic Games in London, where for the first time, athletes marched into the stadium behind their nations' flags. During the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, tradition dictates that the procession of athletes is always led by the Greek team, followed by all the other teams in alphabetical order (based on the language of the hosting country), except for the last team which is always the team of the hosting country. The IOC has two official languages English and French. Both languages are used to introduce competitors. At the opening ceremony, the Olympic flag is raised while the Olympic hymn is played. The torch relay arrives and the flame is lit. The Olympic Oath and Creed is also said. Opening Ceremony Trivia The first opening ceremony was organized by Regent Street Polytechnic. At the first opening ceremony in 1908, the team from Finland refused to carry a flag when they were told that they would have to march under the flag of Russia. At the 1912 Olympic Games opening ceremony, Finland's team paraded under the national insignia flag of a Swedish-speaking female gymnastics club in Helsinki. Finland was part of the Russian Empire at the time, but competed separately. During the opening ceremony of the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, athletes from Liechtenstein were shocked to discover that their flag was identical to the flag of Haiti. After the games, a yellow crown was added to the flag of Liechtenstein. Leading up to the Rio Games in 2016, American broadcasters NBC requested that the order of countries in the opening parade of nations be in English language order, so that the American team would march later in the program. It was worried it would lose viewers if they marched in their correct order, which in Portuguese the US will march with the E's (as in - Estados Unidos). Share:

The ‘J’ approach and the ‘Flared’ approach are associated with which event?

high jump
|
High Jump Technique | High Jump | Athletics | Sports Coaching High Jump High Jump Technique The High Jump comprises of three main elements: the approach; the takeoff and the bar rotation. A good approach to high jump coaching is to look at and work on these three elements individually. Here we explain in more detail the technical aspects of a Fosbury flop high jump technique. High jump technique - The approach: 3 important factors of the approach are acceleration, maximum velocity, and curve running. There are 3 different approaches that the athletes use today. The J approach, flared approach, and hook approach. All 3 approaches have the same curve into the jump. The only difference between them is the initial starting position. The J approach involves the athlete running in a straight line before curving their run into the jump. An athlete using the flared approach will start from a position wider than that of the J approach, and the opposite occurs with the hook approach. The starting point is inside that of the J approach. Athletes run on a curve to lean away from the bar by creating pressure against the ground. Most athletes use between 6 and 12 steps on the approach , usually an even number so the first step is taken with the non-jumping foot. The radius of the curved run is specific to individual athletes, and this can only be found through trial and error. However the average for women is around 31-32 feet (9.5-10 metres), and for men it is 27-28 feet (8.3-8.6 metres), so these are good starting points for your long jump. The athlete must approach the bar from the correct angle in the last 2 steps. Again this is somewhat athlete specific but 50 degrees for the penultimate step and 40 degrees for the final step are good guidelines. The last 2 steps of the approach are the most important. The penultimate step must land flat, and on the imaginary curve line, with the hips and torso moving over this foot as quickly as possible. The last step should also be flat footed and purposely planted in a dorsiflex position. High jump technique - Takeoff: The aim of high jump coaching here is conversion of vertical velocity must be made from the horizontal velocity of the approach if a long jump is going to be successful. A short takeoff time is also important otherwise the athlete will more than likely land on top of the bar. The takeoff action is also known as a push-through-and-pull action. The push-through is the hip moving over the penultimate foot. The pull is the hip of the free leg coming through because of the active negative motion of the takeoff leg. On takeoff the foot should be pointing roughly towards the far corner of the landing area. All athletes are different when it comes to the position of the takeoff foot, but generally this foot should be planted around 2-3 feet down the bar from the post or standard. Distances in front of the bar also vary greatly from athlete to athlete. However the average for women is around 26 inches or 65cm. For men it is further, around 48 inches or 123cm. Use trial and error to work out the best position. High jump technique - Bar rotation: The Fosbury Flop is the most common way to clear the bar. This ends with the athlete landing on their upper back. To get to this position the athlete must rotate around there vertical axis so their back is facing the bar as they clear it. To clear the bar an athlete will need to arch and then un-arch the body. The arching occurs to lift the hips above the bar, and the un-arching drops the hips, which lifts the legs in a natural reaction. The un-arching should occur as the upper legs go over the bar.

British Superstitions Superstitions can be defined as, "irrational beliefs, especially with regard to the unknown" (Collins English Dictionary) General Superstitions Good Luck Lucky to meet a black cat. Black Cats are featured on many good luck greetings cards and birthday cards in England. Lucky to touch wood. We touch; knock on wood, to make something come true. Lucky to find a clover plant with four leaves. White heather is lucky. A horseshoe over the door brings good luck. But the horseshoe needs to be the right way up. The luck runs out of the horseshoe if it is upside down. Horseshoes are generally a sign of good luck and feature on many good luck cards. On the first day of the month it is lucky to say " white rabbits, white rabbits white rabbits ," before uttering your first word of the day. Catch falling leaves in Autumn and you will have good luck. Every leaf means a lucky month next year. Cut your hair when the moon is waxing and you will have good luck. Putting money in the pocket of new clothes brings good luck. Bad Luck Unlucky to walk underneath a ladder. Seven years bad luck to break a mirror. The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods. Unlucky to see one magpie, lucky to see two, etc.. Unlucky to spill salt. If you do, you must throw it over your shoulder to counteract the bad luck. Unlucky to open an umbrella in doors. The number thirteen is unlucky. Friday the thirteenth is a very unlucky day. Friday is considered to be an unlucky day because Jesus was crucified on a Friday. Unlucky to put new shoes on the table. Unlucky to pass someone on the stairs. Food Superstitions When finished eating a boiled egg, push the spoon through the bottom of the empty shell to let the devil out In Yorkshire, housewives used to believe that bread would not rise if there was a corpse (dead body) in the vicinity, and to cut off both ends of the loaf would make the Devil fly over the house! Table Superstitions If you drop a table knife expect a male visitor, if you drop a fork a female visitor. Crossed cutlery on your plate and expect a quarrel. Leave a white tablecloth on a table overnight and expect a death. Animal Superstitions Animals feature a lot in our superstitions as they do in superstitions around the world. One ancient British superstition holds that if a child rides on a bear's back it will be protected from whooping-cough. (Bears used to roam Britain but now they are not seen on our shores) In some parts of the UK meeting two or three Ravens together is considered really bad. One very English superstition concerns the tame Ravens at the Tower of London . It is believed if they leave then the crown of England will be lost. It is said to be bad luck if you see bats flying and hear their cries. In the middle ages it was believed that witches were closely associated with bats. If a Sparrow enters a house it is an omen of death to one of the people who live there. In some areas it is believed that to avoid bad luck, any Sparrow caught must be immediately killed otherwise the person who caught it will die. In some areas black Rabbits are thought to host the souls of human beings. White Rabbits are said to be really witches and some believe that saying 'White Rabbit' on the first day of each month brings luck. A common lucky charm is a Rabbit's foot, but not for the Rabbit. It is thought very unlucky to have the feathers of a Peacock within the home or handle anything made with them. This is possibly because of the eye shape present upon these feathers i.e. the Evil-Eye associated with wickedness. Wedding Superstitions

'That's all folks!' - the meaning and origin of this phrase That's all folks! The catchphrase on the banner shown at the end of Looney Tunes cartoons. Origin The phrase was first used at the end of a 1930 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon and was spoken by the character Bosko. This appears to have been a development of the earlier line 'So long, folks!', which had been used in 1929 Bosko cartoon. The Looney Tunes lines may have been influenced by a British cartoon from 1926 in the Jerry The Troublesome Tyke series. This ended with 'And That's All!'. Many other characters have uttered the line since, in both the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series. Notable amongst these was Porky Pig. His stuttered 'Th-th-th-that's all folks!' is the best remembered version of the line. The voice behind many of these characters, including Porky Pig, was Mel Blanc - probably the best-known voice actor and the person who virtually invented that medium.

Explore Hopper’s Studies Edward Hopper (1882–1967), Study for Nighthawks, 1941 or 1942. Fabricated chalk and charcoal on paper; 11 1/8 × 15 in. (28.3 × 38.1 cm). Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; purchase and gift of Josephine N. Hopper by exchange 2011.65 Hopper Drawing is the first major museum exhibition to focus on the drawings and creative process of Edward Hopper (1882–1967). More than anything else, Hopper's drawings reveal the continually evolving relationship between observation and invention in the artist's work, and his abiding interest in the spaces and motifs--the street, the movie theatre, the office, the bedroom, the road—that he would return to throughout his career as an artist. This exhibition showcases the Whitney's unparalleled collection of Hopper's work, which includes over 2,500 drawings bequeathed to the museum by his widow Josephine Hopper, many of which have never before been exhibited or researched. The exhibition surveys Hopper's significant and underappreciated achievements as a draftsman, and pairs many of his greatest oil paintings, including Early Sunday Morning (1930), New York Movie (1939), Office at Night (1940), and Nighthawks (1942), with their preparatory drawings and related works. This exhibition also features groundbreaking archival research into the buildings, spaces and urban environments that inspired his work. Hopper Drawing is organized by Carter E. Foster, Steven and Ann Ames Curator of Drawing. Significant support for this exhibition is provided by The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, The Dietrich Foundation, The Selz Foundation, Barney A.

Published on Jun 14, 2014 Bradley Walsh as Dave Dodds in Mike Bassett:England Manager Category Mike Bassett: England Manager | Film from RadioTimes Mike Bassett: England Manager Our Score by Dave Aldridge This sports satire is arguably the best football film ever made, and unarguably the funniest - barring Escape to Victory and When Saturday Comes, which weren't actually meant to be funny. Thanks to the minimal use of on-field action sequences we are spared the embarrassment of watching players who can't act and actors who can't play. Instead, the film focuses on the boardroom, back-room and dressing-room shenanigans that ensue after a lower-league soccer boss is made England manager. Bassett is played with a nice mix of humour and pathos by Ricky Tomlinson, as the sort of old-school supremo who scribbles his team selection on the back of a fag packet - then is gobsmacked that no-hopers Benson and Hedges have been enlisted into the squad. When the team flukes its way into the World Cup finals in Brazil, Bassett is faced with the task of turning his individual allsorts - boy-wonder forward, high-living midfielder et al - into a winning side. Keep an eye open for cameos by two great soccer icons, Pelé and Gabby Logan (née Yorath). Summary Thoroughly enjoyable sporting comedy, starring Ricky Tomlinson as an inept soccer coach who is unexpectedly chosen as England's new manager. His dismal efforts see him go from national treasure to most hated man in England in record time - but the chance of redemption comes when a rules loophole puts England in the running for the World Cup. Amanda Redman, Philip Jackson, Bradley Walsh and Phill Jupitus co-star, with an appearance by Brazilian superstar Pele. Cast & Crew

Ginger McCain, trainer of Red Rum, dies aged 80 - Telegraph Horse Racing Ginger McCain, trainer of Red Rum, dies aged 80 Donald ‘Ginger’ McCain, trainer of the legendary Red Rum, the only horse to win three Grand Nationals, has died after a short illness. He would have been 81 on Wednesday. Ginger McCain will his son Donald Jr Photo: PA Ginger McCain saddled Red Rum to win the Grand National three times Photo: REUTERS Ginger McCain saddled Red Rum to win the Grand National three times Photo: PA By Marcus Armytage 10:06AM BST 19 Sep 2011 Besides winning the National three times with Red Rum, who was also second on his two other starts in the race, McCain also won it with Amberleigh House in 2004 equalling Fred Rimell’s all-time record of sending out four winners. Maintaining the family link with the race his son Donald, who took over the yard in 2006, won this year’s race with Ballabriggs. In a sport where there is no shortages of characters, McCain, whose first involvement with horses was when he delivered butter and bacon to the local butcher on a horse and cart, was one of its greatest and, about the Grand National, no other man has been as passionate. In his early days as a trainer in Southport he kept his horses in a yard just behind his second hand car forecourt and he supplemented meagre earning as a taxi driver. One of his regular passengers was Noel Le Mare, a wealthy Liverpool businessman, and they discovered their joint passion was an ambition to win the Grand National. Even so when the former selling plater off the flat, Red Rum, turned up having been bought for Le Mare by McCain for £6000 it looked a long shot. But the horse thrived on Southport beach where the galloping was determined by the tide. Related Articles My Sport 2005: interview with Ginger McCain 05 Apr 2005 Had Red Rum only ever won one National he might have been one of its least heralded winners such was the credit given to the runner-up Crisp who had attempted to make all the running and had given Red Rum 23lbs. But a year later he proved his greatness by becoming the first horse since Reynoldstown in 1936 to win back to back Nationals – this time carrying 12st himself. He won his third and last National in 1977. At the time the National, as an event, was on its knees. Aintree belonged to a property developer who couldn’t wait to see houses built on it and the crowds had dwindled to almost nothing. But Red Rum was like a messiah for the race, coming at just the right time and his popularity inspired racing to get behind the racecourse and build it back to what it is today, one of the nation’s great sporting events. In later years McCain became a passionate supporter and out-spoken defender of the National. He wanted it to remain the ultimate test of horse and rider and he had little time for those who sought to water down the challenges. “I was just an old broken down taxi driver who got lucky in the National,” he once said. Others saw it differently. He was an integral part of the Rummy fairytale. Aintree unveiled a plaque on the grandstand where he would stand to watch the National and put on a dinner for his retirement. His son, Donald, said: “I’d like to think he’s a legend. If I can do half as much with my life as he fitted in to his I won’t have done too bad.”

North Texas, USA) Walking Tour of the elements CD. Barium: historical information Barium was discovered by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808 at England. Origin of name : from the Greek word "barys" meaning "heavy". Baryta (barium oxide, BaO) was distinguished from lime (calcium oxide, CaO) by Scheele in 1774. Elemental barium was isolated by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808 who electrolysed molten baryta. Sometime prior to the autumn of 1803, the Englishman John Dalton was able to explain the results of some of his studies by assuming that matter is composed of atoms and that all samples of any given compound consist of the same combination of these atoms. Dalton also noted that in series of compounds, the ratios of the masses of the second element that combine with a given weight of the first element can be reduced to small whole numbers (the law of multiple proportions). This was further evidence for atoms. Dalton's theory of atoms was published by Thomas Thomson in the 3rd edition of his System of Chemistry in 1807 and in a paper about strontium oxalates published in the Philosophical Transactions. Dalton published these ideas himself in the following year in the New System of Chemical Philosophy. The symbol used by Dalton for barium is shown below. [See History of Chemistry, Sir Edward Thorpe, volume 1, Watts & Co, London, 1914.] Barium around us Read more » Barium has no biological role. The British Pharmaceutical Codex from 1907 indicates that barium chloride ["barii chloridum", BaCl2.2H2O] has a stimulant action on the heart and other muscles. It was said that it "raises blood pressure by constricting the vessels and tends to empty the intestines, bladder, and gall bladder". Its poisonous nature was also pointed out. Barium sulphide (BaS) was used as a depilatory agent (removes hair). Barium sulphate (BaSO4) is insoluble and used for body imaging (barium meal). Elemental barium is never found in nature. Barium mainly is found in the ores barite and to a lesser extent in witherite. Abundances for barium in a number of different environments. More abundance data » Location Second ionisation energy : 965.2 kJ mol‑1 Isolation Isolation : barium metal is available commercially and there is normally no need to make it in the laboratory. Commercially, it is made on small scale by the electrolysis of molten barium chloride, BaCl2. cathode: Ba2+(l) + 2e- → Ba anode: Cl-(l) → 1/2Cl2 (g) + e- Barium metal can also be islated from the reduction of barium oxide, BaO, with aluminium. 6BaO + 2Al→ 3Ba + Ba3Al2O6 Read more » Barium isotopes are used in a wide variety of fields and applications. Ba-130 is used in the production of Ba-131/Cs-131 which is used in brachytherapy (seeds). Ba-132 can be used for the production of Ba-133 which is used as a gamma reference source. Ba-134 has been used to perform experiments in the field of nuclear physics. Ba-136 has been used to study photon scattering phenomena. Both Ba-136 and Ba-138 have been used in activation cross section experiments. Ba-135 has been used to validate the use of spinor symmetry while Ba-137 has been used in experiments regarding the theory of relativistic coupled clusters. Finally, Ba-138 has been used in studying so-called r- and s-processes in stars.

Lake Malaren | lake, Sweden | Britannica.com Lake Constance Lake Mälaren, also called Lake Mälar, lake in eastern Sweden , located just west of Stockholm , which lies at the lake’s junction with Salt Bay, an arm of the Baltic Sea . At one time Lake Mälaren was a bay of the Baltic, and seagoing vessels using it were able to sail far into the interior of Sweden. Because of movements of Earth’s crust, however, the rock barrier at the mouth of the bay had become so shallow by about 1200 that ships had to unload near the entrance, and the bay became a lake. Lake Mälaren, eastern Sweden. Acp With an area of 440 square miles (1,140 square km) and extending about 75 miles (120 km) across Sweden, it is the country’s third largest lake. Together with Lake Hjalmar, it drains an area of 8,160 square miles (21,130 square km). Normally its surface is only 1 foot (0.3 metre) above sea level , and its outflow is sometimes reversed. Navigable channels connect it with Lake Hjalmar to the southwest, while the Södertälje Canal and two channels at Stockholm connect it with the Baltic to the east. Its more than 1,200 islands, with a total area of 189 square miles (489 square km), and its deeply indented, wooded shoreline have made the lake area a popular residential and resort region. There are many towns in addition to Stockholm along its shores, a number of them of historical interest. Near Mariefred is the castle of Gripsholm, begun in 1537 by Gustav I Vasa and known today for its portrait collection. In the episcopal palace at Strängnäs, Gustav I Vasa was elected king of Sweden in 1523. The island of Drottningholm (Queen’s Island) has a 17th-century palace that is a royal summer residence with a fine park and formal gardens. The château of Skokloster , south of Uppsala , on the northern arm of Lake Mälaren, has a remarkable collection of trophies, including an armoury, from the Thirty Years’ War (1618–48).

Could not subscribe, try again laterInvalid Email A woman was arrested in Paris after attacking the Mona Lisa with a cup of tea. The Russian woman allegedly threw a mug full of the steaming brew over the heads of tourists and scored a direct hit on the most famous work of art in the world. The ceramic mug bounced off the bullet-proof glass and shattered on the floor, a stunned security guard at the Louvre said. Guards arrested the woman after wrestling her to the ground following the art attack on Sunday, August 2 – which has only just been reported. She is being held in custody and is said to have undergone a psychological examination. Doctors were trying to assess whether she was suffering from Stendhal Syndrome, a rare condition that causes dizziness, confusion or violent acts when an individual is exposed to art. A police spokesman added: “We are still establishing her state of mind at the time, though there is a possibility she could be charged with criminal damage.” A museum spokesman said: “There was no damage done to the painting whatsoever. “It is protected by bullet-proof glass almost two centimetres thick, and also contained in a special sealed box to protect it from vibrations and humidity. “It is one of the most well guarded works of art in the world, and it would take more than a well-aimed tea-cup to damage it.” A source at the museum claimed the woman had bought the mug of tea at a museum cafe. The last attack on a work of art at the Louvre was in 1998, when a mathematics professor attacked a statue of Roman philosopher Seneca with a hammer. The Mona Lisa is the only painting ever to have been stolen from the Louvre, in 1911, and then recovered. It is owned by the French government and is seen by an estimated 8.5 million people a year.

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | David Dimbleby injured by bullock David Dimbleby injured by bullock The presenter will return to host the programme next week David Dimbleby has missed chairing BBC One's Question Time for the first time in more than 15 years after being injured by a bullock at his farm. The 71-year-old was loading the bullock onto a trailer in Folkington, Sussex, when the animal reared and caused him briefly to be knocked out. He also received a cut to the head that required stitches at a local hospital. Dimbleby, who remains in hospital for observation, was replaced on the show by John Humphrys. "I haven't missed a Question Time in over 15 years," Dimbleby said. "Trust my wife's bullock to take me out. I'll be giving bullocks a wide berth in future," he added. The BBC stressed the presenter's stay in hospital was just a precaution, and is not unusual for a patient suffering concussion. He is recovering well and should return home shortly. Dimbleby has chaired Question Time since January 1994. He is expected to be back hosting the show next week. As the cameras started rolling for the recording of Thursday's show, Humphrys told the audience: "If you are highly observant, you will have noticed that I am not David Dimbleby. He has had an encounter with a bullock and he came off worst." John Humphrys explains David Dimbleby's absence The panel included Northern Ireland Secretary Shaun Woodward, Shadow Security Minister Dame Pauline Neville-Jones, Lib Dem communities and local government spokesman Julia Goldsworthy, writer Will Self and Olympic champion rower James Cracknell. Mr Woodward asked Humphrys to stop interrupting as he was answering a question on Afghanistan, telling him: "This is a bit like doing the 10 past eight slot with you in the morning," a reference to the presenter's regular job on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

Austria and the euro - European Commission European Commission Communicating on the euro Austria and the euro Austria joined the European Union in 1995 and was the first wave of countries to adopt the euro on 1 January 1999. Austria at a glance Surface area: 83 858 km2 Population: 8 356 707 (Eurostat 2009) Joined the European Union: 1 January 1995 Currency: Euro since 1 January 1999 (formerly Austrian schilling, ATS) Euro information Status: Euro-area member since 1 January 1999 Fixed conversion rate: €1 = 13.7603 AST Adoption of the euro: The euro banknotes and coins were introduced in Austria on 1 January 2002, after a transitional period of three years when the euro was the official currency but only existed as 'book money'. The dual circulation period – when both the schilling and the euro had legal tender status – ended on 28 February 2002. Exchange of former national currency: The Österreichische Nationalbank (Austrian National Bank) continues to exchange schilling banknotes and coins for an unlimited period. Euro hotline Austria: +43 1 514 33 2226 Documents and publications (Unser Geld. Kaufkraft und Preisstabilität in Österreich) Opinion polls and surveys What Currencies Were Used Before the Euro? | eHow What Currencies Were Used Before the Euro? Phil Ashley/Lifesize/Getty Images The Euro officially replaced a series of former national currencies in Europe in 2002, making the Euro the second most largely traded currency in the world, second only to the U.S. dollar. While some countries, such as the United Kingdom or Denmark, did not switch to the new currency, 27 other countries have, as of 2011, decided to adopt the Euro. The Euro In 2002, the Euro officially became the national currency of all countries participating in the European Economic and Monetary Union, or EMU, also sometimes called the Eurozone. During the first few months of 2002, European citizens and tourists in those countries were able to use both the old currency and the Euro at the same time. However, at the end of this transition period, the old currencies lost their transactional value and could only be exchanged against Euros by one of the participating countries' central banks. Western Europe In Western Europe, Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Ireland, The Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Germany, Luxembourg, Austria and Finland replaced their former national currencies with the Euro. The former currencies of those countries were, respectively, the Portuguese escudo, the Spanish peseta, the French franc, the Belgian franc, the Irish pound, the Dutch guilder, the Greek drachma, the Deutsche mark, the Luxembourg franc, the Austrian schilling and the Finnish mark. Eastern Europe The first Eastern European countries to join the Eurozone were Estonia, Lithuania, and Slovenia which all joined in 2004. Since then, Cyprus, Latvia, Malta and Slovakia have also adopted the single European currency. The former currencies of those Eastern European currencies were the Estonian kroon, the Lithuanian lita, the Slovenian tolar, the Cypriot pound, the Latvian lat, the Maltese lira and the Slovak koruna. Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City Monaco, San Marino and Vatican, while not members of the European Union or of the Eurozone, also decided to adopt the Euro for practical reasons due to their close proximity with countries using the new single currency. The former currency of Monaco was the Monégasque franc, while San Marino and Vatican used respectively the Sammarinese lira and the Vatican lira.

Shake to blend and chill. Strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with flamed orange peel or orange twist. Harvey’s Perfect and Harvey Wallbanger Tips and Tricks The beauty of the Screwdriver, Harvey Wallbanger and even Harvey’s Perfect is the ease of the making the drink. There are few ingredients and they are fairly easy to make. Vodka and orange juice are readily available. But here’s the thing. If you want a really great drink experience, take the time to juice a fresh orange. One medium size orange should yield approximately 2 ounces or a little more of juice. A hand held juicer takes only a moment of time. Fresh orange juice will totally make the difference in this drink. Fresh really will enhance the flavor. The flavor will taste lighter on the tongue rather than weigh heavily. Think about using citrus vodka rather than plain vodka. Or try pineapple vodka for a little twist on flavor. If you are not a vodka fan, use gin or silver rum. What is Galliano? Galliano liqueur is a blend of Mediterranean herbs and plants. The recipe includes Mediterranean anise, juniper, musk yarrow, star anise, lavender, peppermint, cinnamon and vanilla. The color is golden yellow, reminding me of King Midas of Greek mythology and his golden touch. Perhaps the flavor is deeply flavorful, rich, rolling over the tongue, warming and smooth. – photo by Mixologist Cheri Loughlin, The Intoxicologist Galliano is a blend of Mediterranean herbs and plants. The recipe is secret just like so many other elixirs, liqueurs and aperitifs. But it does include Mediterranean anise, juniper, musk yarrow, star anise, lavender, peppermint, cinnamon and vanilla. The color is golden yellow, reminding me of King Midas of Greek mythology and his golden touch. Perhaps the flavor reminds me of the same. It is deeply flavorful, rich, rolling over the tongue, warming and smooth. It is truly wonderful. I think it pairs beautifully with raspberries and champagne , too.

How many sides does a polygon have? | Reference.com How many sides does a polygon have? A: Quick Answer A polygon is a plane figure that has "at least three straight sides and angles," according to Oxford Dictionaries. However, polygons can have more than three sides; most have five or more. Full Answer The word polygon comes from the Greek roots "poly," meaning many and "gon," meaning angle. When naming polygons, the appropriate Greek number replaces the root for the poly. For example, the word pentagon, which describes a five-sided polygon, comes the Greek word for five, "penta." Some other polygons are the heptagon, the tridecagon, the heptacontagon and the hexahectaheptacontakaidigon. These shapes have seven, 13, 70 and 672 sides, respectively. For polygons with more than 10 sides, many mathematicians use the more manageable "n-gon" form; for example, they call the hexahectaheptacontakaidigon a "672-gon." Tridecagon Tridecagon A tridecagon or triskaidecagon is a polygon with 13 sides and 13 vertices. Regular Tridecagon A regular tridecagon is a polygon with 13 equal sides and angles. Angles of the Tridecagon The sum of interior angles of a tridecagon = (13 − 2) · 180° = 1,980° The value of an interior angle of a regular tridecagon is: 1,980º : 13 = 152.31º The central angle of a regular tridecagon measures: 360º : 13 = 27.69º Diagonals of the Tridecagon The number of diagonals in a regular tridecagon = 13 · (13 − 3) : 2 = 65 Perimeter of a Regular Tridecagon Perimeter = 13 · l Area of a Regular Tridecagon
