Published on Feb 5, 2013 The report calls for a 'Food Manifesto for the Under Fives' - a long term, cross political party plan to improve nutrition for the under fives. This will only be achieved by a coordinated approach from everybody: The food industry, retailers, policy-makers, parents, educators, and the media. We want to see ideas taking shape now: to make cooking in schools compulsory to extend nutritional advice, free food items and vitamins to more new mothers to give a free breakfast to every child to open up the UK's professional kitchens for cooking classes to put a 'food enthusiast in residence' in every school to use our supermarkets to offer cooking lessons We need your support.

Which small country has the official language of Catalan?

Catalans - Introduction, Location, Language, Folklore, Religion, Major holidays, Rites of passage Catalans RELIGION: Roman Catholicism 1 • INTRODUCTION The Catalan people live in an area of northeast Spain called Catalonia.     Historically, Catalonia also included Valencia, Andorra, the Balearic     Islands, and the French department (or province) called Pyrenees     Orientales. Speakers of the Catalan language can still be found in these     areas. Following centuries of foreign rule, Catalonia became an     independent political entity in AD 988 and united with the Kingdom of Aragon in 1137. Together, the two     regions established an empire that eventually extended to Sardinia,     Naples, Sicily, and Greece. After the marriage of King Ferdinand and     Queen Isabella in the fifteenth century, the kingdoms of Aragon and     Catalonia were united with Castile and León. After this union, the     Catalans struggled for centuries to preserve their political and     cultural identity. By the nineteenth century, Catalonia had become a major economic power     in Spain due to trade and industrialization. It has remained one of     Spain's wealthiest and most developed regions. It has attracted     large numbers of immigrants from the south throughout the twentieth     century. During the years of Francisco Franco's dictatorship     (1939–75), Catalan regionalism was suppressed and the local     language outlawed. In 1979, Catalonia became an autonomous region with     its capital at Barcelona. In 1992, it gained the international spotlight     as host to the Summer Olympic Games. 2 • LOCATION Catalonia is located in Spain's northeastern corner. It is     roughly the size of the state of Maryland. It is bound to the north by     the Pyrenees mountains, to the east and south by the Mediterranean Sea,     to the southwest by Valencia, and to the west by Aragon. The region is     dominated by the Pyrenees. Catalonia is divided into four administrative     provinces: Lleida, Girona, Barcelona, and Tarragona. A fifth region     within Catalonia is Andorra, a small country jointly governed by France     and Spain. Catalonia has a population of approximately 6 million people, roughly 15     percent of Spain's total population. Much of the region's     population growth—up from barely 2 million in 1900—is due     to immigration. Over 25 percent of Catalonia's inhabitants live     in Barcelona. 3 • LANGUAGE Catalan is the official language of Catalonia. It is also spoken in     Valencia, Andorra, the Balearic Islands, and the French department (or     province) of Pyrenees Orientales. Catalan is a Romance language like     French, Italian, and Castilian Spanish. It is similar to the     Provençal language spoken in the south of France. From the late     1930s to the mid-1970s, Catalan, like other regional languages in Spain,     was suppressed by the Franco regime. Now the language can be heard on     television and radio and is taught in the schools. Road signs in     Catalonia are printed in both Catalan and the national language,     Castilian. The most common Catalan names are Jordi (the equivalent of     George) for men, and Montserrat and Núria for women. Catalan was     the official host language for the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. EXAMPLES seny 4 • FOLKLORE Catalan folklore has been strongly influenced by Roman Catholicism.     Saints and visions of the Virgin Mary play a prominent role in legends,     tales, and customs. 5 • RELIGION The majority of Catalans, like most other people in Spain, are Roman     Catholic. However, the role of religion has decreased in the lives of     many people in the region. This is due to the industrialization and     modernization of Catalonia, as well as to outside cultural influences.     Most Catalans mark major events such as baptism and marriage with the     appropriate religious ritual. Howe


What is the straight line called which joins two points on the circumference of a circle but does not pass not through the centre?

Geometry and the Circle Unit 2 > Lesson 1 of 6 A circle is an important shape in the field of geometry. Let's look at the definition of a circle and its parts. We will also examine the relationship between the circle and the plane. A circle is a shape with all points the same distance from its center. A circle is named by its center. Thus, the circle to the right is called circle A since its center is at point A.    Some real world examples of a circle are a wheel, a dinner plate and (the    surface of) a coin. The distance across a circle through the center is called the diameter.    A real-world example of diameter is a 9-inch plate. The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of a circle to any point on the circle. If you place two radii end-to-end in a circle, you would have the same length as one diameter. Thus, the diameter of a circle is twice as long as the radius.  We can look at a pizza pie to find real-world examples of diameter and radius.    Look at the pizza to the right which has been sliced into 8 equal parts through its center. A radius is formed by making a straight cut from the center to a point on the circle. A straight cut made from a point on the circle, continuing through its center to another point on the circle, is a diameter. As you can see, a circle has many different radii and diameters, each passing through its center.  A chord is a line segment that joins two points on a curve. In    geometry, a chord is often used to describe a line segment joining two    endpoints that lie on a circle. The circle to the right contains chord AB. If    this circle was a pizza pie, you could cut off a piece of pizza along    chord AB. By cutting along chord AB, you are cutting off a segment of pizza that    includes this chord. A circle has many different chords. Some chords pass through the center    and some do not. A chord that passes through the center is called a    diameter. It turns out that a diameter of a circle is the longest chord of that circle since it passes through the center. A diameter satisfies the definition    of a chord, however, a chord is not necessarily a diameter. This is    because every diameter passes through the center of a circle, but some    chords do not pass through the center. Thus, it can be stated, every    diameter is a chord, but not every chord is a diameter. Let's revisit the definition of a circle. A circle is the set of points that are equidistant from a special point in the plane. The special point is the center. In the circle to the right, the center is point A. Thus we have circle A. A plane is a flat surface that extends without end in all directions. In the diagram to the right, Plane P contains points A, B and C. Can you think of some real world objects that satisfy the definition of a plane? At this level of mathematics, that is difficult to do. Intuitively, a plane may be visualized as a flat infinite sheet of paper. The top of your desk and a chalkboard are objects which can be used to represent a plane, although they do not satisfy the definition above. A circle divides the plane into three parts: the points INSIDE the circle the points OUTSIDE the circle and the points ON the circle the points inside the circle the points outside the circle the points on the circle You can see an interactive demonstration of this by placing your mouse over the three items below. A circle divides a plane into three parts: the points INSIDE the circle the points OUTSIDE the circle and the points ON the circle Example 1: The length of DB is 2.5 inches Summary:  A circle is a shape with all points the same distance from its center. A circle is named by its center. The parts of a circle include a radius, diameter and a chord. All   diameters are chords, but not all chords are diameters. A plane is a flat surface that extends without end in all directions. A circle divides the plane into three parts:   The points inside the circle, the points outside the circle and the points   on the circle. Exercises Directions:

In a case of mistaken identity, Barnaby Rudge—a pale half-wit with long red hair who dresses all in green and carries a large raven on his back—is arrested as the leader of a mob of anti-Catholic rioters. He is condemned to death on the gallows, but an upright locksmith named Gabriel Varden comes to his aid. Set beneath the cloud of an unsolved murder, this classic tale of treachery and forbidden love is often overlooked by present-day readers. Nevertheless, Dickens provides another memorable cast of characters, including the dull-witted, tyrannical John Willet, Dennis the Hangman, and Hugh the savage ostler.

[Vance] distinguishes with charm and consistency among the huge cast of characters…Clearly [Vance] enjoys reading this novel as much as we enjoy listening to it.” AudioFile “The challenge [Dickens] presents to the narrator, with his bounteous prose and talkative eccentrics, is met resourcefully by Britisher [Simon Vance], whose unflagging energy, imagination, and finesse rank this among the best of audio Dickens.”  Library Journal Listener Opinions by Melodee | 2/10/2014 " This Dickens tale concerns the riots of 1780 in London. I think the author did an excellent job of building a fiction off of the facts. His characters were well developed, and the parts of the book that dealt with the actual riots were quite suspenseful. It is a very dramatic story, and worth a read both for historical information and for its merits as a good fiction. " by Alexander | 2/9/2014 " What fun. Simon Tappertit was a hoot, as was the family he worked for. Some of the initial promise didn't quite hold up, both in characters and plot, I'd say. Barnaby was saved, but it was rather anti-climactic; Tappertit, Grip, and Scragg were each wonderful when they first came in, but, like Tappertit's legs, didn't get displayed to best advantage later on. But on the whole I enjoyed it very much. The Gordon Riots were remarkable-- glad to be introduced to them. " by Jay Pluck | 2/6/2014 " I keep thinking of this book and also its illustrations. " by Elaine | 1/31/2014 " I did not enjoy this novel nearly as much as Dickens' later darker novels, or even the earlier Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, or Nicholas Nickleby. If you are going to tackle Dickens, try those three first and then move on to Bleak House, Little Dorrit, and Our Mutual Friend. Much more interesting. " > Show All AJW | 1/29/2014 " I had never heard of this Dickens novel until now. What a fantastic read! Not knowing anything about it meant I approached it with a fresh mind and no spoilers (unlike my experience reading 'Old Curiosity Shop' where I always knew about Little Nell). From the start I was gripped. Who was this mysterious murderous man who threatened people left, right & centre? Why was there this feud between two families? Is that a ghost or a real person in the churchyard? Who are the parents of this character? Will that smug so-and-so ever get their comeuppance? Characters that initially look evil turn out to be good and vice versa. I also love reading historical novels based on real events - in this case, the 1780 Gordon Riots in London. I was also impressed that Dickens attempted to use as a main character somebody with 'learning difficulties' (to use contemporary phrase) in a sympathetic way. Finally I love the way Dickens can coin a phrase or describe things in a vivid and original way. One example I remember is when a family climb into a carria

What was the name of the pub in Only Fools and Horses?

Only Fools and Locations 2 You are in: Home > Only Fools and Locations 2 Only Fools and Locations 2 This is part 2 of the guide from mega fools fan Rick Clark. Rick told us about his keen eye for locating Only Fools and Horses outside locations. Rick continues his tour of these great locations that you can still view today. “My October 2008 visit to Salisbury to photograph the locations from ‘A royal flush’ was a bit disappointing. Although I tracked down the Gentleman’s Outfitters shop on New Canal (the ‘arch’ style doorway was a dead giveaway!), I was unable to get anywhere near, and I mean anywhere near, Clarendon House (Lady Victoria & co’s house), as the whole estate is closed to the public. No luck with the market alleyway where Rodney first chats up Vicky either”. “In November 2008, my wife and I visited a friend who had just got a job teaching in Brighton, so when we were down there I left the girls to have a natter and disappeared for half an hour to snap the allotments and waste recycling site from ‘Mother Natures son’. The Pub used as the Nags Head in that episode had been demolished a few years earlier. However, on our way home we stopped off at Swain’s Farm Shop (Miles’s Organic Food Centre) in nearby Henfield”. “In April 2009, as luck would have it, I was off to Amsterdam for a mate’s stag weekend. He’s a big OFAH fan too, and I’d done a bit of research beforehand so I knew exactly where Van Kleefe’s place was to be found (Lauriergracht 4, to be precise). We also took in the streets around the Groenburgwal area where most of the chase scenes were filmed”. “On a baking hot day in the summer of 2009, I took a train from Bristol to Hull to get as many pics as I could from ‘To Hull and Back’. The roads around John Street and the Railway station were easy, however St Andrews Dock was a nightmare as most of the roads are blocked off to the general public and a lot of the old dock is being redevleoped anyway”. “The main places I’ve yet to visit are, Ipswich (Frogs Legacy), Miami (Miami Twice), and Monte Carlo (If they could see us now)”. “A couple of things I would add though before I go…firstly most people who write articles on OFAH say that Whitemead House is on “Duckmore Road”, Bristol. Its actually spelt “Duckmoor Road”!!! Plus, everyine seems to think the original pub in OFAH was a watering hole called The Alma in Chapel Market. However, thanks to fellow Flickerite ‘Roll the Dice’ who confirms that the orginal pub was actually The Three Johns (now called The Hobgoblin) in White Lion Street, Islington…as can be seen here:” “Anyway, thanks again for your interest mate” “Well thank you kind sir” as Victoria would say to Rodney I’m sure we’ve enjoyed Rich’s expertise and look forward to some further articles and details on his superb collection soon Other Pukka Posts:


Charles X Gustav ruled which Kingdom from 1654 to 1660?

Charles X Gustav (Sweden) (1622пїЅ1660; Ruled 1654пїЅ1660) 23-05-2015, 19:05 Charles X Gustav (Sweden) (1622пїЅ1660; Ruled 1654пїЅ1660) CHARLES X GUSTAV (SWEDEN) (1622пїЅ1660; ruled 1654пїЅ1660), king of Sweden; son of John Casimir of Pfalz-Zweibrücken and Katherine, the half-sister of Gustavus II Adolphus. Charles X Gustav was born and grew up in Sweden. Tutored in history, politics, law, modern languages, and warfare, he spent nearly three years on a grand tour of the Continent. In 1642, he joined Swedish forces in Germany, where he gained military and diplomatic experience and took part in the campaign against Denmark in 1643пїЅ1645 (Torstensson's War), which resulted in Sweden's gaining Jämtland and Härjedalen in Norway, Halland on the west coast, and Gotland. Throughout his life he showed a remarkable capacity to work hard at whatever challenge faced him. He was also prone to bouts of depression and excessively fond of food, drink, and women. Charles figured importantly in the complex issue of succession. The male line of the Vasa dynasty ended with Gustavus II Adolphus. His daughter Christina, who was only six at his death, was his only legitimate heir. The council nobility took advantage of this situation to enhance its constitutional position, and the monarchy was in danger of becoming little more than symbolic. Christina opposed this trend, especially after reaching her majority in 1644, and viewed assuring the succession as vital. Marriage was the most obvious solution, and her cousin Charles was the most likely candidate. Christina encouraged this idea until sometime in 1645, when she made it clear she could not marry. Rejecting Charles as a possible husband did not mean rejecting him as her successor. He was welcome at court; she made him commander of the Swedish forces in Germany in 1648 and won the parliament's approval of his succession a year later. Following Christina's coronation in 1650, Charles spent most of his time on his estates on Öland. Charles X Gustav was crowned king on 6 June 1654, the same day that Christina stepped down and prepared to leave Sweden. He was the founder of the Pfalz/Wittelsbach dynasty, which also included Charles XI, Charles XII, and Ulrika Eleonora (1654пїЅ1720). Three themes dominated his short reign: war, state finances, and the constitutional balance between crown and nobility. Charles X was primarily a warrior king. His foreign policy centered on maintaining the empire, which he viewed as essential to Sweden's security. Although Swedish power reached its peak during his reign, the country faced almost constant threats from Poland, Russia, the Habsburgs, Brandenburg, and Denmark. England, France, and the Netherlands also figured importantly in the complex diplomacy of the region. In 1655, he attacked Poland in what became a costly and largely fruitless conflict. Taking advantage of the situation, the Danes declared war on Sweden in 1657. Charles's campaign against them turned into one of the most daring (or luckiest) in Sweden's history. He easily occupied Jutland and then, due to an abnormally cold winter, was able to march his forces across the frozen Belts; take Fyn, Langeland, and Lolland; and cross to Sjaelland to attack Copenhagen. The Treaty of Roskilde (1658) cost Denmark all of its territories in southern Sweden (Skåne and Blekinge), plus Bohuslän on the Norwegian border, the island of Bornholm, and Trondheimslän in Norway. A second campaign against Denmark was launched in late summer 1658, with the intention of destroying the country and absorbing it into the empire. This time, however, Copenhagen's heroic resistance, new problems in the eastern Baltic, and international concerns about the balance of power in northern Europe worked against Charles. Fate also intervened, as the king died in early 1660. Peace was reached in 1660, and Sweden was lucky to lose only Bornholm and Trondheimslän. The zenith of empire had passed. Charles X Gustav was a monarchist in the ongoing constitutional battle in Sweden. He supported Christina against the council nobles in the 164

There are actually several different ways to do make Welsh Rabbit. It can just be a plain old cheese slice on bread browned under a grill (though some say that's just cheese on toast.) Or, the cheese can be a mixture of grated cheese, English mustard powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Some versions have you make a cold sauce with wine or beer in it, with the sauce getting cooked under the grill. Other versions of Welsh Rabbit have you cook the sauce first in a pot. In North America, milk is more likely to be used than beer or wine for the liquid in any sauce. Some fancier versions of Welsh Rabbit use two or more different kinds of cheese, and have you remove the crusts before toasting. Some of the variations of Welsh Rabbit have their own names. Buck Rabbit Poached egg on top of Welsh Rabbit. English Rabbit The bread is toasted, then a small bit of red port is poured on the toast, then grated cheese or a sliced of cheese is put on it, then grilled. Irish Rabbit Herbs, onions and vinegar are added to the sauce. Scotch Rabbit For Scotch Rabbit [sic, not spelt "Scottish"], you cut the crusts off (which admittedly doesn't sound very Scottish), toast the bread, butter it, toast a piece of cheese separately on both sides, put it on the buttered toast and serve immediately. How you toast a piece of cheese without it melting into a puddle isn't clear. In Scotland, the cheese may be Dunlop cheese. Yorkshire Rabbit (aka Yorkshire Buck, Yorkshire Golden Buck) With Yorkshire Rabbit, the toast is buttered before the cheese mixture is spread on top, then a slice of bacon or ham, or a poached or fried egg, is placed on it. Some American versions of Yorkshire Rabbit use a toasted English muffin instead of toast, and put both bacon or ham, and poached egg on top it. History Notes In 1814, Welsh Rabbit appeared in the French book "L'Art du cuisinier" by Antoine Beauvilliers as "Wouelsche rabette" (lapin gallois.) To grill the cheese on top, you would put the Welsh Rabbit in a tin "reflecting oven" placed into your hearth, or pass a red-hot poker over the cheese. In a wealthier household perhaps, you might use a red hot salamander instead of a poker. Language Notes The word Rabbit is actually authentic in this dish's name, not "Rarebit." In 1669, it appeared in print as "Rabet" in "The Closet of the Eminently Learned Sir Kenelm Digby, Knight, Opened". It then appeared in print as "Rabbit" in 1725, with "Rarebit" not appearing in print until 1785 (according to the Oxford English Dictionary.) Rarebit was probably a reinterpretation of the word, as in "rare bit" because by that time it was being made in fancy homes in chafing dishes, and the "rarebit" name was more fitting to its new, elevated status in the wealthier homes. Even when spelt "rarebit", is still pronounced "rabbit." Some wags have suggested that Welsh Rabbit may have been a name meant to poke fun at the Welsh, suggesting that they couldn't afford a rabbit. Welsh Rabbit is called "Caws Pobi" in Welsh, meaning "roasted cheese." "Caws" means cheese; "pobi" means roasted, toasted or baked. (Often, the translation of "pobi" is incorrectly given as "rare".) The term "Welsh Rarebit" in Welsh would actually be translated as "Tamaid Anghyffredin Cymreig." Sources


Which poet was killed a week before the end of World War I?

Brief biographies of 25 poets of the First World War, THE WAR POETRY WEB SITE RUPERT CHAWNER BROOKE , 1887-1915. Georgian poet. Born at Rugby. Educated at Rugby School and King's       College, Cambridge. He was an atheist and active Socialist. He was a friend of Edward Marsh and worked with him to prepare       and promote the first Georgian Anthology of poetry. After travelling in Germany, and, following his nervous breakdown       he went on a long tour to recuperate, taking in the USA, Canada,       Honolulu, Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand, and Tahiti. After hesitation about what course of action to take at the start       of the First World War he joined the navy. He was a witness at the       siege of Antwerp before writing his famous set of five sonnets       called 1914. Though he had seen the devastation and suffering       created by the war he kept it all at an emotional distance from       himself, denying the realities of war. He had a deeply confused personality - given to both ecstatic       enthusiasm and suicidal doubt. Following a mosquito bite he died of acute blood poisoning on       board ship on his way to Gallipoli, and was buried on the Greek       Island of Skyros. Minds at War and Out in the Dark contain all five of Brooke's       1914 war sonnets, plus his sombre and realistic last poem, Soon to       Die. Minds at War contains a further thirteen       and a half pages of discussion of Brooke's ideas, and extracts from       his letters which reveal something of the way his mind worked, and       the origins of some of the ideas in his sonnets. There are five pages of information about       Brooke, and extracts from his letters in Out in the Dark. ELEANOR FARJEON, 1881-1965. Born in London. Well known as an author of children's stories. She was a close personal friend of Helen and Edward Thomas in the       last few years of his life. She loved Edward, but knew that       expressing her feelings to him would mean the immediate end of their       friendship. They often visited each other and went on long country       walks together. She typed his poems for him and submitted them, on       his behalf, under the pseudonym of Edward Eastaway, to various       publications. Helen was aware of Eleanor's feelings towards Edward and was       perfectly content with the situation, believing that it might help       to make Edward a little happier. There are two of her poems in Minds at War       and one in Out in the Dark. The poem that is common to both books is "Now that you, too" which is a moving poem about saying goodbye to       Edward Thomas for the last time. JULIAN GRENFELL , 1888-1915. Educated at Eton, and Balliol College, Oxford. He joined the army       in 1910. He seemed to take a psychopathic joy in killing people. His       poem Into Battle is said to be the most anthologised poem of the       First World War. He died of wounds on 30th April, 1915, a few days after sending       his poem to The Times. Into Battle appears in both Minds at War       and Out in the Dark. IVOR GURNEY , 1890-1937. Born in Gloucester. Educated at King's School Gloucester and the Royal College of Music. He wrote poetry and music from before the       war. He volunteered to fight and was initially turned down because of       his poor eyesight. He was gassed and wounded and returned to       Britain. Mental illness developed. He was diagnosed as a paranoid       schizophrenic in 1922. He was committed to mental hospital where he       continued to write poetry and compose - sometimes believing that he       was still taking part in the war. He died of tuberculosis. Three of his poems appear in Minds at War       and two in Out in the Dark. RUDYARD KIPLING , 1865-1936. Born in Bombay. As a small child he was sent to England (Southsea)


Which land was Cain banished to after he slew Abel?

Where Did Cain Get His Wife?: What About Inbreeding? Where Did Cain Get His Wife?: What About Inbreeding? Introduction Cain's Wife? After Cain was sent into exile east of Eden for  killing Abel he found a wife and built a city. Even if Cain married one of his sisters,  doesn't this produce theological and biological problems? Rich Deem The Bible indicates that Adam and Eve's first son, Cain, slew his younger  brother Abel because of jealousy over the acceptance of his brother's offering  over his own. Immediately after being banished to the east in the land of Nod,  Cain found a wife and raised a family and founded a "city" called Enoch. If Cain was the firstborn of Adam and Abel the second, then how  could Cain have found a wife and built a city? Creation of humanity The Bible describes the creation of humanity in Genesis, the first  book. According to the chapter one account, God created male and female human  beings in His image. 1 Chapter two of Genesis  goes into more detail about the creation of mankind. According to the  narrative, God created Adam, the first man, 2 then, some time later, created  Eve. 3 Adam and Eve sinned and were banished from  Eden. 4 They produced two sons, Cain and Abel. 5 Both Cain and Abel presented sacrifices to God, but Cain's was rejected, 6 because he expended a half-hearted effort. 7 So,  Cain became angry and murdered his brother in a fit of jealousy. 8 Cain is exiled God confronted Cain about the murder of Abel and banished him to the  east of Eden. The problem arises in the next verse, where suddenly Cain  is married and builds a city: Then Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and settled in the  land of Nod, east of Eden. (Genesis 4:16) Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth  to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch,  after the name of his son. (Genesis 4:17) Mesopotamia The assumption seems to be that Cain and Abel were the first two children  of Adam and Eve. Although Cain does seem to be the firstborn, the text is  not clear that Abel was the second born, but only that he was the second  son. 5 Later, the narrative indicates that Adam and Eve produced "other sons and  daughters." 9 So, it is possible that Adam  and Eve produced daughters between the births of Cain and Abel. It is also  likely that others sons and daughters were produced after the birth of Abel.  We don't know how old Cain and Abel were when Cain murdered his brother,  but they seem to be at least young adults, since they are both engage in a  trade for their living. 5 The second thing one  notices is Cain's seeming paranoia about being found and revenge being taken  against his for killing Abel. 10 The only way this makes sense is if the brothers and sisters of Abel were  upset that Cain had killed their brother. Although the period of time  between the birth of Cain and the death of Abel is not given in the Bible,  it would seem that this period was probably over 100 years, since the birth  of Adam's next son, Seth is said to have occurred when Adam was 130 years  old. 11 Adam and Eve could have produced many daughters during that period of  time. Cain builds a "city" So, the Genesis narrative suggests that Cain had other brothers and  sisters when he was exiled by God. One of those sisters married Cain (or  more likely had already been married to Cain when he killed his  brother), became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch somewhere east of  Eden. The next problem that arises is the claim that Cain "built a  city." To us, in the 21st century, this evokes images of skyscrapers and  high density housing. However, the original Hebrew word, translated "city," merely had the meaning of a place that was guarded by a watch or  with a wall. 12 At its minimum, the Hebrew root referred to an encampment or post. So,  it is entirely possible that Cain could have built such a "city." Theological problems Skeptics have pointed out that the only viable solution to the  problem of Cain's wife (Ca


The Day of the Jackal - Kindle edition by Frederick Forsyth. Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. By fra7299 VINE VOICE on July 7, 2014 Format: Mass Market Paperback|Verified Purchase One of the more remarkable aspects to Frederick Forsythâs The Day of the Jackal is how events are presented so realistically. The book is based on the true life attempts on French President Charles de Gaulleâs life, and Forsyth uses much of his experience covering news in France during the 1960s as well as thorough research to present a fictionalized account of these events. The novel is structured in a way to first give a picture of the two sides, and then give a timeline for the events to follow. The first part of the novel, Anatomy of a Plot, gives background into OAS organization, their hatred for de Gaulle, and their efforts to find the perfect assassin to do the job. Deciding on a man who is only referred by the codename âThe Jackalâ, they set in motion the preparations for this attempt. Part two, Anatomy of a Manhunt, goes into the police forcesâ attempts to identify and unmask this assassin, and figure out how, where and when he will strike. This builds to the final part, Anatomy of a Kill, which is a final confrontation between the two sides. I was quite impressed with the way the author is able to present the two alternating plot lines to create a building sense of tension. When deputy commissioner Claude Lebel is appointed to take on this massive case, there is a sense of frustration and tension within their own police investigation and manhunt, as they butt heads on how to identify and stop the Jackal. Lebel has to get inside the killerâs head in order to figure out how he thinks and what his next move is and create a mental timeline. As we follow Lebel and his teamâs relentless pursuit of this nameless figure, we also follow the Jackalâs. The alternating movements really help to build to one brilliant, tension-filled conclusion, especially as each side tries to outmaneuver the other. I though it interesting in that the two sides are presented in a neutral manner. The narrator does not favor one side over another, but gives insight into both assassin and police perspectives. The Jackal is presented as cold and calculating, yet suave (think James Bond as an assassin). He loves his women, and his loves his gadgets. He loves to life the good life (fine wine, good food, expensive hotels) once he has his priorities have been met. On the other side, Lebel is sort of a bumbling, imperfect, yet quite intellectual figure. He may be the perfect fit for this job because of his imperfections, however; he seems to see into things in a true light because of his detective-like knowledge. In short, he knows what he is up against: âA real gentleman, thought Lebel, is as dangerous as a snake. They are always the worst kind for the policeman, the real gentleman. No one ever suspects them.â The Day of the Jackal is a gripping suspense and thriller, and finishes with quite a face-paced race to the finish in the final pages. By K. L. Nolan on July 1, 2013 Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase Amazing novel, but more so because this is Forsyth's first. The sharp, sly voice is a joy to read and drives the captive reader onward. An entertaining subtext leads to a tense empathy with the assassin over the bumbling hierarchy of the radicals, and, of course, the parallel on the security side, with the smart detective amidst the bureaucracy, pomp and circumstance. So much of the post-war popular literature (that was yet to emerge then) dwelt on East-West tensions; it was refreshing to be immersed, instead, in the French politics of the era and to witness the end of the colonial period. Also bracing was the reliance on paper-deskphone technology, with no miracle saves by computers. That leaves a lot of room for intellectual brilliance, which appears in showy profusion. I had not imagined how much I would enjoy this book as both literature AND entertainment. By J.P. Nelms on January 25, 2016 Format: Paperback|Verified Purchas


Who was commander of RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain?

Commander-in-Chief of Fighter Command | History of the Battle of Britain | Exhibitions & Displays | Research | RAF Museum History of the Battle of Britain Air Chief Marshal Hugh Caswell Tremenheere Dowding 1882 - 1970 Commander-in-Chief of Fighter Command, 1936-1940 "A difficult man, a self-opinionated man, a most determined man, and a man who knew more than anybody about all aspects of aerial warfare." General Frederick Pile Air Chief Marshal Dowding is regarded as the architect of victory in the Battle of Britain. Dowding began his military career in the artillery but in 1913 he took the opportunity to learn to fly at Brooklands and gained his RFC wings. During the First World War he commanded No 16 Squadron before taking over the Ninth (Headquarters) Wing during the Battle of the Somme. Differences of opinion with Trenchard saw him return to the United Kingdom to training duties. After an influential spell as Air Member for Research and Development after the war he seemed a natural choice to lead Fighter Command when it was set up in July 1936. He spent the remaining years of peace preparing it for war. Dowding had originally been told he would retire in June 1939 but his retirement date was postponed several times. Although he did not have day to day control of the air defences, this lay in the hands of his four Group Commanders, his management of these subordinates during this crucial period of the Battles of France and Britain clearly made him the man right man in the right job and certainly one of the most important RAF commanders. Dowding was criticised by some for not using the aggressive "Big Wing" tactics favoured by people like AVM Leigh-Mallory and Sqn Ldr Douglas Bader. Whether large formations of aircraft would really have been more effective is still in dispute. To some he was considered dour, stubborn, obstinate and uncooperative and this made him a number of influential enemies. Within weeks of the end of the Battle Dowding had been forced to relinquish his position. He finally retired in July 1942. The letter that changed everything Dowding outlines to the Air Ministry the reasons why no more fighter re-enforcements should be sent to France otherwise Britain's own defences would be compromised. He believed it to be a waste of aircraft and pilots. This is the most important decision was to build up the home fighter defence. He fought for this In the face of fierce political opposition.

Taraxacum Officinale is the Latin name of which common wild flower?

A Modern Herbal | Dandelion [ Top ] ---Parts Used Medicinally--- The root, fresh and dried, the young tops. All parts of the plant contain a somewhat bitter, milky juice (latex), but the juice of the root being still more powerful is the part of the plant most used for medicinal purposes. ---History--- The first mention of the Dandelion as a medicine is in the works of the Arabian physicians of the tenth and eleventh centuries, who speak of it as a sort of wild Endive, under the name of Taraxcacon. In this country, we find allusion to it in the Welsh medicines of the thirteenth century. Dandelion was much valued as a medicine in the times of Gerard and Parkinson, and is still extensively employed. Dandelion roots have long been largely used on the Continent, and the plant is cultivated largely in India as a remedy for liver complaints. The root is perennial and tapering, simple or more or less branched, attaining in a good soil a length of a foot or more and 1/2 inch to an inch in diameter. Old roots divide at the crown into several heads. The root is fleshy and brittle, externally of a dark brown, internally white and abounding in an inodorous milky juice of bitter, but not disagreeable taste. Only large, fleshy and well-formed roots should be collected, from plants two years old, not slender, forked ones. Roots produced in good soil are easier to dig up without breaking, and are thicker and less forked than those growing on waste places and by the roadside. Collectors should, therefore only dig in good, free soil, in moisture and shade, from meadow-land. Dig up in wet weather, but not during frost, which materially lessens the activity of the roots. Avoid breaking the roots, using a long trowel or a fork, lifting steadily and carefully. Shake off as much of the earth as possible and then cleanse the roots, the easiest way being to leave them in a basket in a running stream so that the water covers them, for about an hour, or shake them, bunched, in a tank of clean water. Cut off the crowns of leaves, but be careful in so doing not to leave any scales on the top. Do not cut or slice the roots or the valuable milky juice on which their medicinal value depends will be wasted by bleeding. [ Top ] ---Cultivation--- As only large, well-formed roots are worth collecting, some people prefer to grow Dandelions as a crop, as by this means large roots are insured and they are more easily dug, generally being ploughed up. About 4 lb. of seed to the acre should be allowed, sown in drills, 1 foot apart. The crops should be kept clean by hoeing, and all flower-heads should be picked off as soon as they appear, as otherwise the grower's own land and that of his neighbours will be smothered with the weed when the seeds ripen. The yield should be 4 or 5 tons of fresh roots to the acre in the second year. Dandelion roots shrink very much in drying, losing about 76 per cent of their weight, so that 100 parts of fresh roots yield only about 22 parts of dry material. Under favourable conditions, yields at the rate of 1,000 to 1,500 lb. of dry roots per acre have been obtained from second-year plants cultivated. Dandelion root can only be economically collected when a meadow in which it is abundant is ploughed up. Under such circumstances the roots are necessarily of different ages and sizes, the seeds sowing themselves in successive years. The roots then collected after washing and drying, have to be sorted into different grades. The largest, from the size of a lead pencil upwards, are cut into straight pieces 2 to 3 inches long, the smaller side roots being removed, these are sold at a higher price as the finest roots. The smaller roots fetch a less price, and the trimmings are generally cut small, sold at a lower price and used for making Dandelion Coffee. Every part of the root is thus used. The root before being dried should have every trace of the leaf-bases removed as their presence lessens the value of the root. In collecting cultivated Dandelion advantage is obtained if the seeds are all sown at one time, as greater uniformity in th

What is the common name for the gas with chemical formula O3?

Chemical of the Week -- Ozone Nitrogen dioxide is a red-brown gas that dissociates when     it is irradiated with bright light. NO2(g) light NO(g) + O(g) The oxygen atom formed in this process is extremely reactive     and readily attaches to a molecule of O2, forming ozone.  O(g) + O2(g) O3(g)              On     sunny days where NO2 pollution from traffic is high, the concentration     of ozone in the air can reach levels that are dangerous for plants and     animals. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency characterizes ozone     levels as "unhealthful" when they exceed the National Ambient Air Quality     Standard of 125 parts per billion (ppb). In the state of Wisconsin, an     "ozone alert" is issued when the average concentration of ozone     over a four hour period is over 100 ppb. An "ozone warning" is announced     when the this level reaches 300 ppb. An �ozone emergency� is declared     when it exceeds 350 ppb. In addition to posing a threat to health, ozone     in the air also damages polymeric materials such as rubber and plastics,     causing them to deteriorate prematurely.                In     contrast to the harmful effects of ozone in the air we breathe, the effects     of ozone in the upper atmosphere are essential to the survival of life     on Earth. In the upper atmosphere (specifically, the stratosphere, 15-55     km above the Earth's surface), ozone filters harmful ultraviolet radiation     from sunlight. This ultraviolet radiation is highly energetic and would     damage both plants and animals exposed to it. Diatomic oxygen absorbs     the highest-energy ultraviolet radiation from the sun, namely, all radiation     with wavelengths shorter than 240 nm. However, there is a great deal     of ultraviolet radiation between 240 nm and 290 nm that is not absorbed     by O2 molecules. This radiation is absorbed by ozone.                The     ozone in the stratosphere is produced by photochemical reactions involving     O2. When diatomic oxygen in the stratosphere absorbs ultraviolet     radiation with wavelengths less than 240 nm, it breaks apart into two     oxygen atoms.   (light wavelength < 290 nm)   This, too, is an exothermic reaction. The overall effect     of this reaction and the previous reaction is the conversion of light     energy into heat. Thus, ozone in the stratosphere prevents highly energetic     radiation from reaching the Earth's surface and converts the energy of     this radiation to heat.                The 1995 Nobel Prize     in Chemistry was awarded to three scientists for their research on     the chemistry that controls the amount of ozone in the stratosphere. Paul     Crutzen, director of the Department of Atmospheric Chemistry at the Max     Plank Institute for Chemistry in Germany, showed in 1970 that nitrogen     oxides could participate in the decomposition of ozone.   2 O3 3 O2 Because NO is regenerated in the third step, a single molecule     of NO can assist in the destruction of very many ozone molecules. Crutzen     described how N2O released from soil rises unchanged in the     lower atmosphere until it is decomposed by UV radiation in the stratosphere.     A fraction of the N2O is converted to the NO that catalytically     destroys ozone.                A     few years later, F. Sherwood Rowland, Chemistry Professor at the University     of California at Irvine and Mario Molina, Professor of Environmental Studies     as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (who at the time was a postdoctoral     associate of Rowland), described the similar activity of chlorofluorocarbons     (compounds containing chlorine, fluorine, and carbon). These compounds     are so inert that they, like N2O survive in the atmosphere     until they eventually reach the stratosphere, where intense UV radiation     from the sun liberates chlo

The Challenge Belt The impetus to provide the Challenge Belt had come from the Earl of Eglinton and derived from his keen interest in medieval pageantry. He was pre-eminent in encouraging sport throughout the social spectrum and was a leading light in setting up The Open Championship. The Earl donated many trophies for competition, including a gold belt for competition among the Irvine Archers. The original Challenge Belt was purchased by the members of Prestwick Golf Club. According to the first rule of the new golf competition: “The party winning the belt shall always leave the belt with the treasurer of the club until he produces a guarantee to the satisfaction of the above committee that the belt shall be safely kept and laid on the table at the next meeting to compete for it until it becomes the property of the winner by being won three times in succession. A Brief History 1860 - The first Open takes place at Prestwick Golf Club.  Winner presented with the Challenge Belt. 1872 - Three clubs to host The Open contribute £10 each towards a new trophy - a silver claret jug. The 1872 winner received a medal. 1873 - The Golf Champion Trophy is made by Mackay Cunningham & Company. Tom Kidd was the first Champion to receive the new Claret Jug but the 1872 winner, Tom Morris Junior, was the first name engraved on it. 1927 - Agreement to retain the original Claret Jug and present future Champions with a replica. The search for a new trophy - the Silver Claret Jug In 1870, just 10 years after The Open Championship began, Tom Morris Junior won for the third consecutive time and became the owner of the belt. The future direction of the Championship was discussed at Prestwick Golf Club’s Spring Meeting in April 1871, during which a key proposal was put forward by Gilbert Mitchell Innes: “In contemplation of St Andrews, Musselburgh and other clubs joining in the purchase of a Belt to be played for over four or more greens it is not expedient for the club to provide a Belt to be played for solely at Prestwick.” The motion was passed, but no final decisions were reached about venues or the involvement of other clubs, with the result that The Open Championship was not played in 1871. Moves to revive the competition resumed the following year. The minutes of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club, dated May 1, state that the green committee had been “empowered to enter into communication with other clubs with a view to effecting a revival of the Championship Belt, and they were authorised to contribute a sum not exceeding £15 from the funds of the club”. Agreement was finally reached on September 11, 1872 between the three clubs that were to host The Open — Prestwick, the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers and The Royal and Ancient Golf Club. They decided that the winner would receive a medal and that each of the three clubs would contribute £10 towards the cost of a new trophy, which was to be a silver claret jug, instead of another belt. Its proper name was to be The Golf Champion Trophy. These decisions were taken too late for the trophy to be presented to the 1872 Open Champion, who was once again Tom Morris Junior. Instead, he was awarded with a medal inscribed ‘The Golf Champion Trophy’. The Golf Champion Trophy The Golf Champion Trophy, now commonly referred to as the Claret Jug, was made by Mackay Cunningham & Company of Edinburgh and was hallmarked 1873. The first Open Champion to receive the new trophy was the 1873 winner, Tom Kidd, but Tom Morris Junior’s name was th


What is the name of the actress who is the mother of actor Rupert Penry-Jones?

Rupert Penry-Jones on Silk and family life with Dervla Kirwan | Life | Life & Style | Daily Express PUBLISHED: 00:01, Sun, Mar 9, 2014 Rupert Penry-Jones opens up about his career and family life with Dervla Kirwan [GETTY] Even alpha males have their off days. “To begin with it was a bloody nightmare,” admits Rupert Penry-Jones. “It took two or three weeks before I even began to get the hang of it.”  Difficult though it is to picture the dashing star of Silk and Spooks in his pinny and Marigolds, Rupert has been keeping house while his actress wife Dervla Kirwan wows the West End in Irish drama The Weir. “She’s working so I’m doing the school run and the childcare,” confirms the actor, 43. “I had a bit of a bumpy start but I feel like the house is running fine now. Dervla and I have different home-making styles and I just didn’t understand hers – let’s leave it at that.”  The couple, married since 2007, live in Hampshire with their children Florence, 10, and eight-year-old Peter. “Our home is very important to us and we try to lead our private lives quietly,” says Rupert. “I don’t want to be known as half of a celebrity couple and we keep our work and home lives quite separate. That’s the best way to enjoy both.”  The new series of Silk sees Rupert’s character Clive Reader promoted to QC, in direct opposition to his chambers colleague Martha Costello, played by Maxine Peake. “Clive is a bit more grown-up this series,” reveals Rupert. “Becoming a QC, with a new, silky gown and waistcoat, has given him more confidence and he doesn’t feel like he has to prove himself, as he once did. He becomes more emotionally involved with his clients, too, which is something I asked the writers for, otherwise there’s nothing for me to play. His personal life hasn’t got any better though. He admits to Martha that he loves her but gets a knock-back, poor chap.”  Life on the set of BBC1’s legal drama sounds very different from the tense scenes that end up on screen. “Maxine is great fun to work with, as is Neil Stuke, who plays Billy, the clerk of chambers,” says Rupert. “The scenes in chambers are the most fun to film because we’re all together. Neil tries to rap and do the human beatbox thing, but he’s rubbish at both. He and I lark about a lot, and sometimes need pulling into line. But the cast is the main reason I came back to make another series – I just wanted to work with them all again.”  With his wife, actress Dervla Kirwan and his mother [REX] I’m very wary of being myself on TV. You make it much harder on yourself to get work if you do all that stuff. But I’ll always keep reaching for something big and exciting. That will never change. I’m still hungry for it Rupert Penry-Jones Created by former barrister Peter Moffat, Silk is the biggest home-grown legal drama since John Thaw’s Kavanagh QC – so could this one run and run?  “I hope there will be another series,” says Rupert, “but all the characters shoot off in different directions at the end of this one so I’m not sure if it will happen. Mind you, I’ve been doing this for three years, which is long enough. I stayed in Spooks for four years, which was maybe too long.”  Long enough, certainly, for Rupert to be firmly identified with the character of intelligence officer Adam Carter. “It’s taken a long time for people to stop coming up to me and saying, “Aren’t you him from Spooks?” he chuckles. “It’s amazing how roles can stick to you. It’s good but it can also hold you back, because you want the audience to believe in you as the next character. So it’s a balancing act – this is an insecure profession and it’s hard to turn down work when you have a young family and bills to pay – but on the other hand you also want to try lots of different things. Right now I’m holding out for something that stretches me, something different. I’d love to make a film and I usually get cast as posh people so just for once I’d like to play someone who doesn’t wear a suit.” There wasn’t a suit to be seen on his most recent job, filming US TV adventure Black Sails in South Africa with fellow Brit Toby


Which sportsman?s recent autobiography is called Staying Power: A Year in My Life?

Phil Taylor on divorce: 'Marriage is for life, I wish I'd spent more time at home' - Mirror Online Sport Phil Taylor on divorce: 'Marriage is for life, I wish I'd spent more time at home' The Power's achievements have come at a heavy cost - his health is at risk, his social life is on the backburner and he’s so busy he forfeits time with his beloved grandkids  Share Get daily updates directly to your inbox + Subscribe He is the most successful darts player of all time, a 16-times world champion worth £10million. But for Phil Taylor, those achievements have come at a heavy cost. His health is at risk, his social life is permanently on the backburner and he’s so busy he forfeits time with his four beloved grandkids. “Every week I think I’ve had enough. You sacrifice your whole life by being dedicated,” he says. But the most profound of Phil’s sacrifices is his 23-year marriage to wife Yvonne. The couple, who fell in love as teenagers and have four children together, separated in 2011 and divorced this year. Talking about the split for the first time, it is clear Phil, 54, has not yet adjusted to life as a single man. “It’s awful and I’m still sad,” he says. “For me, marriage is for life and it doesn’t seem right.” He blames the break-up on being away too much for darts. Power drive: Phil lost four stone in a year “Looking back, I wish I’d spent more time at home,” he says. “I was away more or less every week” Does he think it’s possible to have a healthy marriage and still be a successful sportsman? “It’s difficult,” he sighs. “Any sportsman will tell you that. "But it’s your job. Yvonne knew that. When you’re looking after a big family you’ve got to get off your backside and earn. "That’s the way I was brought up.” Phil grew up in a council house with no electricity and a sink in the yard to wash in. Little wonder that even after 30 years at the top he is still uncomfortable with the showbiz lifestyle. Flashing two forearms of faded tattoos (one says “Power” in reference to his famous nickname, Phil “The Power”) he is a man who stays true to his roots. Lifetime: Taylor wishes he had spent more time at home He won’t even have a cleaner at his four-bedroom house in Stoke-on-Trent. “I’m recognised all the time but I don’t feel famous,” he says with a shrug. “Just because you’re on television and earning good money doesn’t mean you’re not human. "I still have to wash the dishes, do the hoovering and ironing.” While not exactly slender, Phil is a shadow of his former 19-stone self after losing four stone in 2011. “I was eating fast food on the road – chips, curries, kebabs – anything available at 1am,” he says. “The weight impacted on my stamina.” He slimmed with the help of fitness trainer Laura Church , a woman he grew so fond of it caused speculation they were having an affair when he and Yvonne split. Phil dismisses the allegations as “rubbish” and insists they have never been anything more than good friends. Family: Taylor celebrates in 2010 with his wife Yvonne and his son Chris (Photo: Action Images) Now he replaces meals with fruit and vegetable juice and walks five miles a day. “I’m going to get a personal trainer and start doing some weights,” he tells me. It irks him that many of his rivals today are young enough to be his sons. “I want to compete against them. You know your time is limited,” he says. “I put myself in a dark room and practice seriously for two hours a day. Then I’m sleepy. Some nights I’m in bed at 7.30pm. "When you’re older you don’t recuperate as quickly and your eyesight starts going. "They’ll have to put a stair lift in for me soon!” He’s joking, but his vocal chords have been permanently damaged from years of competing in smoky pubs. “When I retire depends on my health,” he says. Team: Phil, Yvonne and Natalie in 2006 (Photo: Getty) “My dad died at 57 and he’d never been ill in his life until he was 56, so you just don’t know what’s going to happen.” Douglas Taylor died in 1997, nine months after a diagnosis of bowel cancer. “I last saw him in a hospital, on a machine,” says Phil. "His insides


Who lived at the TV address, 698 Candlewood Lane, Cabot Cove, Maine?

15 Facts You Might Not Know about Murder, She Wrote - Neatorama Neatorama • 9 Jessica Fletcher, a widow in a small town in Maine, writes murder mystery novels. Everywhere she goes, people are murdered. When she visits friends and relatives, people are murdered. But the quick-minded Mrs. Fletcher always solves the case and finds the culprit. This is the premise of Murder, She Wrote , a television show that ran from 1984 through 1997. Here are some bits of trivia the series. 1. At the beginning of the series, Jessica Fletcher lives at 698 Candlewood Lane, Cabot Cove, Maine 03041. Where is this fictional town? That’s unclear, but here ’s a webpage that meticulously pieces together the geographic clues mentioned in the series. 2. Over its 12-year run, the series listed by title 25 mystery novels that Jessica has written, starting with The Corpse Danced at Midnight--her first book. 3. By the early 1980s, Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple character had thrived on British television for a decade. CBS wanted to create a similar series to exploit its popularity. The network created and aired a Miss Marple television movie called A Caribbean Mystery .This movie was a hit, so CBS continued to work in this direction. 4. CBS decided to create a dramatic series about a mystery novel writer who solved mysteries. They offered the lead role for Murder, She Wrote to Jean Stapleton, who played Edith Bunker on All in the Family. She declined. 5. Jessica Fletcher doesn’t drive a car. Angela Lansbury liked this “because it precludes, in a sense, the need for car chases.” 6. Lansbury had demands for the show’s tone before she would accept the lead role. “I stipulated that there should be no scenes of gratuitous violence, with blood and gore and car smashes.” 7. The house that was shot as Jessica Fletcher’s was the Blair House Inn , a bed and breakfast Mendocino, California. Pictured above is Angela Lansbury with Grover Wickersham, the owner of the inn, and his son. 8. Merchandise inspired by the show includes  a board game produced in 1985. It’s played by 4-6 players, one of whom is secretly the murderer. Board Game Geek summarizes it: One player is secretly and randomly chosen to be the murderer, the rest are detectives (Jessica Fletcher) trying to determine which player is the murderer. The murderer player wins if he/she can murder five witnesses and escape off of the game board before he/she is discovered. A detective player wins by being the first to correctly deduce the identity of the murderer, before the murderer escapes. Players mark which locations they have visited and in which order. This information, along with the living or dead status of the witnesses, is used by the detective players to deduce who is the murderer player.

Kinder Downfall is the tallest waterfall in which National Park?

Kinder Downfall from Hayfield Walk Planning The Kinder Plateau is a unique and fascinating landscape. A huge plateau of unforgiving peat moorland littered with uniquely shaped weather gritstone rocks and edged by impressive dark peak gritstone cliffs. This walk takes you past Kinder Reservoir and up on to the western edges of the plateau to the Kinder Downfall waterfall then on to Kinder Low, the highest point in the Peak District National Park. This walk is of huge historical importance to all hill walkers. In 1932 a large group of locals from the now Derbyshire and Greater Manchester area set off on a walk that was to change public access rights and hill walking in Britain forever. Most wild land was at the time owned by Game Keepers and Private Landowners who used the moorlands and hills for there hunting pleasure. Not allowing access to the general public who needed to get away from the large industrial cities at weekends. In a defiant stand these proud walkers confronted the land owners and set off on the historic 'Mass Trespass' which started an uproar from the public that went on for many years and in 1955 the first access agreement to Kinder was signed, a first of many to come that allowed us to walk the hills and moorlands today. So not only is this walk truly unique due to the fascinating landscape of the Kinder Plateau, but you will be following in the footsteps of hill walking heroes. Route Directions 552m Ascent 5 Hours This walk starts from Bowden Bridge a kilometre to the east of Hayfield at grid reference  SK 048 869. Bowden Bridge is reached by the minor Kinder Road which ascends east from the village of Hayfield. You can follow the signs for the camp site from the village. There is a pay and display car park in the old quarry at Bowden Bridge or if you are lucky on quiet days you can grab a free space on Kinder Road itself. From Bowden Bridge head north east to north along Kinder Road with the River Kinder on your right. The road passes a house on the right then continues north with Marepiece Wood on the slopes to the left. Listen out for Woodpeckers here. The road will eventually reach a house on the left and a bridge over the River Kinder by the restored sheep dip. Cross the bridge over the river and then turn left on a footpath that follows the right bank of the River Kinder through the wood. The path will reach a path junction, here turn left and the path crosses the River Kinder again over the outflow from the Kinder Reservoir Dam. When you reach the other side of the bridge turn right through a gate and head up the steep paved path to gain height and eventually reach the Kinder Reservoir Dam. Continue along the path now as it follows the northern shore of the Kinder Reservoir then eventually turns left in land towards the stile and footbridge at the bottom of William Clough. On a clear day there are now panoramic views of the impressive western edge of the Kinder Plateau. Head north from here following the stream in to William Clough on a path that gets fairly steep and rocky in places. In summer months the valley is flanked with purple heather and the rocky path home to Lizards and rare Oil Beetles. The William Clough path will eventually top out on the col between Mill Hill to the left and Kinder to the right. At the crossroad of paths turn right and head in a south easterly direction on the Pennine Way towards the plateau where a sharp and short ascent will soon see you on the plateau edge path. You now head in an anti clockwise direction around the plateau. The first spectacle you will see are the weathered rocks of on the right looking over William Clough. On clear days there are fabulous views from here to Manchester and as far as North Wales and Liverpool. If you look beyond the huge cooling towers of Fiddlers Ferry to the west you should be able to make out Liverpool's huge cathedral and sky tower. The path continues along the edge of the plateau, it is hard to go off course along the plateau edge path. To the left are huge hags and deep black troughs of unforgiving deep black peat

In which city was the inaugural Russian F1 Grand Prix held in 2014?

Russian Grand Prix: Sochi looks for winning F1 formula - BBC News BBC News Russian Grand Prix: Sochi looks for winning F1 formula By Chris Sylt Reporter Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Lewis Hamilton won the inaugural F1 in Sochi in 2014 Russia will be at the centre of the Formula 1 stage this weekend, as the second Sochi Grand Prix is held on the streets around the complex where the 2014 Winter Olympics was held. As well as continuing to drive tourism to the city of Sochi, on the Black Sea coast in southern Russia, race organisers also hope the race will fuel interest in motorsport in the country. "Our task is to make motorsport one of the leading sports in Russia," says Sergey Vorobyev. "Within five years we want to create a global, recognisable product that will become the hallmark of the country, and bring fans of all ages to the Sochi Autodrom grandstands every year," adds Mr Vorobyev, deputy general director of the race organising company OJSC Center Omega. Night drive One of his proposed strategies towards this goal is to copy the example set by Singapore, and in future stage the Russian Grand Prix under cover of darkness. "We want to hold a night race, and it has already been discussed with [F1's chief executive] Bernie Ecclestone," says Mr Vorobyev. Image copyright Getty Images Image caption The 2016 race in Sochi could be getting under way in the twilight "In Sochi, the incredible sunsets and the stunning artificial lighting of the circuit will ensure any night or twilight race will look great." Starting the race at dusk would put it on prime-time television in Europe, and should boost viewing figures, so for those reasons it has Mr Ecclestone's seal of approval. Singapore's night-time race hosting has garnered worldwide attention, something Mr Vorobyev hopes to emulate as a means of promoting the Sochi facilities. "The Sochi Autodrom, built in the Olympic Park, is an important part of the sporting heritage of Russia," he says. "Together, these facilities are the pride of the whole country and are an attractive tourist destination." Olympic infrastructure The bill for hosting the Winter Olympics came to more than £30bn. Despite concerns, including over the event's budget, worries about the environment, and whether athlete accommodation would be ready in time, those Games have left a facilities legacy ideal for accommodating the F1 race. There are 47,000 hotel rooms and an airport capable of handling up to 3,800 passengers per hour. Image copyright Getty Images Image caption The 2014 Winter Olympics administration area forms part of the F1 paddock, seen on the right With the race being held on the site of the former Winter Olympics park, the 2014 Games' administration centre has become the pit and paddock complex. However, Grands Prix in emerging racing nations, such as Russia, are often held on city streets, and these don't make for the best racing as they tend to be too narrow for frequent overtaking. They also have right-angled corners which are slower than the large sweeping turns of permanent tracks. In addition, it also requires a lot of effort to transform public roads into a race track. Why is there an F1 race in Russia? Image copyright Getty Images F1 is the world's most-watched annual sports series and last year had 425 million television viewers. Over the past decade this has brought the sport to the attention of emerging economic markets looking to increase their global profile. Hosting an F1 race puts such nations on the sporting map alongside developed countries such as the US and UK. Widespread visibility on TV also drives tourism, so governments of emerging markets directly fund the hosting fees for their races. This has fuelled an arms race between them which has boosted the highest hosting fees to nearly $80m (£52m) annually. In turn, many races in F1's European heartland have been priced out of the market leaving fans up in arms. European countries don't need to use F1 to promote tourism so their governments tend not to fund the hosting fees. Accordingly, in the past decade F1 has
