Energy Use by Humans - Arthur A. Few Energy Use by Humans (Full 41-page Text in HTML)     Arthur A. Few *Please note that the following       links take you to the item's instance in the text Figures Electrical Power Produced by a       Turbine & Effieciency as a Function of Flow Tables Voltage, Vs, in a wire Preface           Our title, "Energy Use by Humans," might be changed to "Energy Use and Misuse  by Humans," except that I am optimistic that when we (all of us) understand  energy, the value of the various forms of energy, and how energy flows and is  transformed from one form to another, we will ultimately do the right thing.  The first objective of this book is to promote and assist in the understanding  of energy and its behavior. We hear and read a lot about the coming energy crisis; is this a real concern  or a scare tactic? The crisis is very real, and in many parts of the world it  is happening now; however, we really should refer to it as the fuel crisis,  not the energy crisis. Energy itself is very abundant in our environment, but  it is not in a form that we can easily use to do the tasks that we desire. For  example, we can compute the energy released by a rainstorm that produces a centimeter  of rain over a circular area with a radius of 10 kilometers. The latent heat  energy that is released when the water vapor condenses into precipitation is  approximately 1016 joules. If the rain is produced over one hour, the power generated by precipitation formation is approximately 2 ï¿½ 1012 watts. The total design capacity of the U. S. nuclear power plants is roughly  100 million kilowatts = 1011 watts. So the rainstorm produces 20  times the power of all of the U. S. nuclear power plants combined, running at  full power! We can make similar computations for solar energy, wind energy,  ocean thermal energy, etc.; there is energy aplenty all around us. Our problem  is that none of these sources is a good substitute for gasoline or electricity.  A second objective of this book is to understand how humans use energy and explore  the question of the appropriate use of energy in its various forms. We have not inherited the Earth from our fathers, we are borrowing        it from our children.  - Native American       saying What do you guess is our worst offender on the human energy misuse list? The  automobile has to be right up at the top. Of the energy available in gasoline,  roughly a third is blown out the exhaust pipe as hot combustion products, which  then pollute the air. Another third, roughly, goes into the radiator, which  then heats the air. The final third of the gasoline's energy is used to move  the automobile; while the car is moving, this energy is being lost to air friction,  road/tire friction, and brake heating (whenever you use the brakes). When you  are driving on a level road at a constant velocity, 100% of the gasoline's energy  is going into heating the environment; the automobile and its passengers are  not receiving any of the energy from the gasoline. Furthermore, the typical  automobile weighs around 5,000 pounds (~2,300 kilograms), while a lone driver  may weigh only 160 pounds (~72 kg); thus only 3% of the energy producing motion  is used for the driver. About 1% of the energy of the gasoline is involved in  moving the driver from point A to point B, and 100% of the gasoline's energy  has gone into heating the environment. Not a good use of energy. A third objective  of this book is to examine several of the gross misuses of energy by humans  and "learn from our mistakes" how to change our behavior to become better energy  consumers. Fossil fuels - oil, coal, and gas - produce 91% of the commercial energy consumed  by humans. Yet these fossil fuels are a finite resource. It's like being adrift  in the ocean with only a loaf of bread to eat; at some point we will run out  of bread. An oil executive speaking at an international industrial conference  recently boasted, "...the e


What is the name of the RAF air rescue station on Anglesey?

RAF Valley - Homepage RAF Valley Links Welcome to RAF Valley Welcome to the RAF Valley website. Whether you are just visiting or being posted-in, I hope this site will give you an understanding of the key contribution this very busy Station makes to UK Defence and our local community. The mission of RAF Valley is clear: Training aircrew and saving lives. All the RAF’s future fast jet combat pilots pass through RAF Valley where they are trained on the Hawk T Mk 2 operated by IV(R) Sqn. This is their first experience of operating a high performance aircraft and once qualified, they are trained to employ the weapons system simulation to deliver the desired effects. From here the pilots graduate to the Tornado, Typhoon and the F35 Lightning II. RAF Valley also supports 202(R) Sqn, flying the Griffin, training aircrew for mountainous and maritime operations worldwide. In addition to RAF regular personnel, reserves and civil servants, RAF Valley achieves its task thanks to close working partnerships with a number of key contractors who provide the trained ground crews to service the aircraft and other support staff to enable our operations to be conducted in a safe and controlled environment. As a consequence, the Station is a significant employer within the local community and our links with the people of Anglesey and North Wales have grown stronger with each year. To demonstrate this RAF Valley is honoured to exercise its Freedoms of Anglesey, Bangor and Llandudno regularly, as well as participating in many local events and charity fund-raisers. We were especially fortunate in 1993 when His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales became Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Valley. For those moving to the area, if you like the outdoors, there are few places that can compete with RAF Valley for opportunities to explore and enjoy. With Snowdonia on the doorstep and the outstanding watersports facilities along the coasts, there is always something to do. The Station has many clubs to enable participation in these activities and advice and equipment are readily available from the PEd staff in our outstanding modern gym. The Mountain Rescue Team is actively recruiting for new members and this gives another opportunity to get involved, out-and-about, and help the local community. There are many world-class sites of historic interest within an easy drive of Valley and families have plenty of options to keep kids occupied during weekends and holidays. The Station has an excellent HIVE, which acts as a focal point for charities and other support organisations. They can provide information on Station childcare facilities and the local education arrangements and opportunities: I encourage you to contact them as soon as possible to ease your move to the Station. Life at Valley is exciting, busy and can be very rewarding. I encourage you to take advantage of the outstanding opportunities and facilities we have available to us and explore the local area as much as possible. Please do not hesitate to get involved with running a club or starting one if your particular hobby is not already represented. Welcome once again, I hope you enjoy your time at RAF Valley.

What did Baedeker describe, in 1860, as the finest hotel in London?

Writers in London in the 1890s: The Ten Best Restaurants in London A blog dedicated to the research tangents of one writer, while writing about writers in London in the 1890s. Find fun and curious tidbits about Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, and many others! Sunday, September 15, 2013 The Ten Best Restaurants in London While feeling extremely distractible and editing a scene in which my characters are out for an evening in London, I came across this wonderful blog . It quotes at length from  one of my favorite recent books on Constance Wilde on the subject of Dorothy Restaurant, which was a haven for the "New Woman" in 1890s London. This got me thinking of restaurant culture in 1890s London. I'm also in the middle of writing/editing a passage in which my characters are out for a night on the town in 1890. With this helpful guide, the internet and my knowledge of the time and place, I present my favourite restaurants in 1890s London. 10. Benekey's Meeting a friend to discuss some ideas? Look how private the booths are in Benekey's. Public houses or pubs were not usually recommended for their food or drink, but Benekey's served one of the finest glasses of wine in London. Karl Baedeker, the author of London and Its Environs: Handbook for Travellers , recommends it, if for that reason alone. Otherwise, there seems to be no trace of the place. Probably because it wasn't a place to be seen, but rather to hide away with a friend and talk, talk, talk... that is what good wine is for, isn't it? Benekey's isn't around anymore, but its booths are still there and its address currently houses to a new pub, called the Cittie of Yorke. Of the current establishment, one reviewer wrote : The copper sign swinging over pedestrians on High Holborn speaks of ‘beer brewed at Yorkshire’s oldest brewery’; the sign just out from a mock-Tudor façade above reads ‘established on the site of a public house in 1430’. So far, so faux, but the interior is authentically dingy, wobbly and warren-like, the kind of place in which to film a period drama. The main room is lined with conspiratorial dark wood alcoves, with old barrels over the long bar and framed portraits from Vanity Fair c.1870. Though I don't think that review was intentionally positive, it makes me really want to go there! According to Baedeker: "In the season" during the 1890s, it was "sometimes necessary to engage a table beforehand," but that went for most of these places! 9. Claridge's This place went through a lot of changes in the 1890s, but that was due to the ambition of its owners and its popularity and success. It was purchased by the Savoy Group in 1894, had some of the same management as the Savoy Hotel . In the 1890s, one might enjoy an orchestra, during afternoon tea in the central court from 4-6pm and from 7-9:30 in the restaurant. Like the Savoy Hotel, it had open terraces with a view of the river. As a hotel, it has 203 rooms and suites and went on from the 1890s to have an exciting, especially in WWII when it became the birthplace of Yugoslavian Crown Prince Alexander (1945). Unlike Benekey's, this is where one might bring their fiance's parents because it was more of an event to go there. The entertainment meant you didn't have to spend the whole time talking to the people you were with and the service/food was first class. It also would have made a really good impression. 8. The Criterion Restaurant in Piccadilly Circus The Criterion Theatre is an underground theatre in Piccadilly Circus that seats 600 people - not underground as in secret, but actually physically underground. The facade on the street is just the restaurant and box office. Dining in the Criterion would have been an incredible experience. I imagine it full of rollicking affluent young Londoners. Baedeker talks about the paintings he saw there by "eminent artists," the mosaic on the ceiling in the Marble Hall, it had a number of rooms, including and "American restaurant," a lager-beer sloon and a smoking room. (I imagined people smoking everywhere.) Going down the stairs to the theatre would have also been an


What post in the House of Commons is held by Lindsay Hoyle, MP?

Lindsay Hoyle, deputy speaker and budget star: 'Once a year, it's my day' | Politics | The Guardian House of Commons Lindsay Hoyle, deputy speaker and budget star: 'Once a year, it's my day' Forget the Chancellor, the star of this week's budget was – indisputably – deputy speaker Lindsay Hoyle. So where did this new backbench hero spring from? Deputy speaker Lindsay Hoyle in his office in Westminster … ‘The most cheerful politican I’ve ever met’, according to our photographer. Photograph: Linda Nylind for the Guardian Friday 22 March 2013 14.29 EDT First published on Friday 22 March 2013 14.29 EDT Share on Messenger Close When Lindsay Hoyle woke up on Wednesday he was still the Labour MP for the prosperous Lancashire town of Chorley and chairman of ways and means , an ancient but obscure office at the House of Commons that also makes him deputy speaker. When he opened the newspapers on Thursday he found that his robust handling of a boisterous budget day had made him a parliamentary superstar in pinstripes. On Twitter, too. Hands on hips, arms akimbo, his Lancastrian boom quite distinct from speaker John Bercow's south-easterly tone, Hoyle reined in Ed Balls for waving the Evening Standard's bootleg version of the budget from the front bench. "You should observe the courtesies of the House and should know BETTERRR," he remonstrated with a pointing finger. "I DO NOT WISH TO SEE IT." There was plenty more like this. "Let this not become the circus of the day," he remarked at another point and, "the panto season is not for another nine months." To an over-excited Tory loyalist he said, "If you don't want to hear your own chancellor, I am SURE your constituents would understand if you were to leave the chamber." What voters with more pressing worries than parliamentary procedure may not have understood was that Hoyle is not some new, end-of-season signing from Chorley FC (known as the Magpies) but a permanent fixture in presiding over the Commons, the most senior of Bercow's three deputies. But a tradition that emerged in the high-tax, high-treason reign of Charles I means that when MPs hear a budget, then debate its instant new taxes – like that 1p off beer – they do so by ways and means resolutions, under chairman Lindsay. "So once a year it's my day. I'm in charge and I look forward to it. It's a highlight, the biggest day of the parliamentary year. The mood in the chamber is electric, you can feel the tension," he explained on Thursday night after day two of this year's budget debate had ended, as he enjoyed a strong cuppa in his modest office (a contrast to Speaker's House, which is palatial). On Wednesday he had watched the morning's proceedings – cabinet office question time followed by PMQs from noon to 12.30pm – on his office TV before strolling round the corner with the ways and means clerk, Sara Howe, to be ready in the shadows "behind the Speaker's chair" – a space which has witnessed centuries of urgent intrigue – when his voice was called to take over. Hoyle is particularly concerned that the Guardian spell Ms Howe's first name correctly. When you have been named Lindsay, these things matter. "Most people who meet me expect a woman – you can see the shock on their faces. But my father was cricket-mad," he says. It has been a lifelong cross but, as with the country song about a boy named Sue , it may have put some steel into an otherwise amiable man. The cricket-mad father was Doug Hoyle , also a Labour MP, best remembered for the distinctly frosty night when he beat Roy Jenkins , the breakaway SDP's insurgent candidate, at the 1981 Warrington byelection, a seat he held until retirement in 1997. That night in 1981, Jenkins said not a word, but when Hoyle senior (now 82) became Lord Hoyle, Lord Jenkins sidled up and said, "It's time we had a drink." As for the cricketer called Lindsay, fans of the game may guess that Hoyle Senior was mightily impressed by Lindsay Hassett , right-handed middle-order batsman and vice-captain of the 1948 Australian touring team that went undefeated in all 34 matches it played in Eng

What was the name of Alfred the Great’s kingdom?

King Alfred the Great | Britroyals Children: 5 children, Aelfthryth, Aethelflaed, Aethelgifu, Edward, Aethelweard Died: October 26, 899 Buried at: Winchester Succeeded by: his son Edward Anglo-Saxon king 871�899 who defended England against Danish invasion and founded the first English navy. He succeeded his brother Aethelred to the throne of Wessex in 871, and a new legal code came into force during his reign. He encouraged the translation of scholarly works from Latin (some he translated himself), and promoted the development of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. This ensured that his deeds were recorded in history as legends and we know more about him than any other Anglo Saxon King. Alfred was born at Wantage, historically in Berkshire but currently in Oxfordshire, the youngest son of Aethelwulf (d. 858), king of the West Saxons. In 870 Alfred and his brother Aethelred fought many battles against the Danes. Alfred gained a victory over the Danes at Ashdown in 871, and succeeded Ethelred as king in April 871 after a series of battles in which the Danes had been defeated. Not all his campaigns were so successful; on a number of occasions he had to resort to buying off the Danes for a brief respite. Five years of uneasy peace followed while the Danes were occupied in other parts of England. In 876 the Danes attacked again, and in 878 Alfred was forced to retire to the stronghold of Athelney which was at that time an island in the Somerset Levels. The legend of him burning the cakes probably comes from this period. His come back and great victory at Edington in 878 secured the survival of Wessex, and the Treaty of Wedmore with the Danish king Guthrum in 886 established a boundary between the Danelaw, east of Watling Street, and the Saxons to the west. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle says that following his capture of London in 886 'all the English people submitted to him, except those who were in captivity to the Danes'. In some respects, therefore, Alfred could be considered the first king of England. A new landing in Kent encouraged a revolt of the East Anglian Danes, which was suppressed 884�86, and after the final foreign invasion was defeated 892�96, Alfred strengthened the navy to prevent fresh incursions. During periods of peace Alfred reformed and improved his military organization. He divided his levies into two parts with one half at home and the other on active service, giving him a relief system he could call on to continue a campaign. He also began to build burhs (fortified strongpoints) throughout the kingdom to form the basis of an organized defensive system. Alfred is popularly credited as being the founder of the Royal Navy; he did build a fleet of improved ships manned by Frisians and on several occasions successfully challenged the Danes at sea. Quotes: He was superior to all his brothers .. both in wisdom and in all good habits, and furthermore because he was warlike beyond measure and victorious in almost all battles' - Asser's Life of Alfred, 893 AD Timeline for King Alfred the Great Year


According to the nursery rhyme, who said ‘What a good boy am I’?

Little Jack Horner | Nursery Rhymes from Mother Goose He put in his thumb, And pulled out a plum, And said “What a good boy am I!” The 1725 version: Now he sings of Jacky Horner Sitting in the Chimney-corner Putting in his thumb, Oh Fie Putting in, Oh Fie! his Thumb Pulling out, Oh Strange! a Plum. Carey's Satirical Poem Henry Carey wrote this nursery rhyme (the version of 1725) as a satirical poem. The target for his satire was Ambrose Philips, also a poet and writer. The mocking was motivated by jealousy, because Philips enjoyed being patronized by wealthy aristocrats. His poems that are sometimes called ‘infantile’ were in fact enjoyed and admired by many precisely because of their simplicity. Jack Horner, however, has been ever since associated with opportunism. The Manor in a Pie Another interpretation of this nursery rhyme was created in the nineteenth century. According to this, the story of Little Jack Horner is about Thomas Horner, who was a contemporary of King Henry VIII. He served blessed Richard Whiting, the head of the monastery in Glastonbury, England. Whiting sent Horner to Henry VIII with a big Christmas pie, inside of which were hidden the deeds to twelve manors. He tried to save the monastery with this act, as Henry VIII had broken off from the Catholic Church, was closing monasteries, and seizing their properties. During the journey Horner stole one of the deeds, the deed to the manor in Mells, and afterwards became the owner of it. Even though Henry VIII got the remaining eleven manors, he didn’t spare the monastery. It was also closed down, Whiting was accused of treason and executed.


Which musical concerns a strike at the Sleep-Tite factory in Iowa?

The Pajama Game (Musical) Plot & Characters | StageAgent Overview Synopsis Romance is blossoming at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Handsome new Superintendent Sid Sorokin falls hard for feisty Union rep “Babe” Williams, and, despite her dismissal of all things love-related, it seems she’s falling right back. That is, until Sleep-Tite employees are refused a seven-and-a-half cent raise, and the pair find themselves on either side of the union protest that results. Based on Richard Bissel’s novel, 7 ½ cents, Adler and Ross’ Pajama Game portrays the ups and downs of romance, with the added heat of politics making the temperature extra hot.

Uriah was a loyal and obedient servant and soldier whose killing by David to cover up an act of adultery is one of the most tragic and disgraceful incidents in all Bible History . "One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, "Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite?" Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. Then she went back home. The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, "I am pregnant." "So David sent this word to Joab: "Send me Uriah the Hittite." And Joab sent him to David. When Uriah came to him, David asked him how Joab was, how the soldiers were and how the war was going. Then David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house and wash your feet." So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king was sent after him. But Uriah slept at the entrance to the palace with all his master's servants and did not go down to his house." "When David was told, "Uriah did not go home," he asked him, "Haven't you just come from a distance? Why didn't you go home?" "Uriah said to David, " The Ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents, and my master Joab and my lord's men are camped in the open fields. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and lie with my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!" "Then David said to him, "Stay here one more day, and tomorrow I will send you back." So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. At David's invitation, he ate and drank with him, and David made him drunk. But in the evening Uriah went out to sleep on his mat among his master's servants; he did not go home." "In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. In it he wrote, "Put Uriah in the front line where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die." "So while Joab had the city under siege, he put Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were. When the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of the men in David's army fell; moreover, Uriah the Hittite died." "Joab sent David a full account of the battle. He instructed the messenger: "When you have finished giving the king this account of the battle, the king's anger may flare up, and he may ask you, 'Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Didn't you know they would shoot arrows from the wall? Who killed Abimelech son of Jerub-Besheth? Didn't a woman throw an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?' If he asks you this, then say to him, `Also, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.'" "The messenger set out, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had sent him to say. The messenger said to David, "The men overpowered us and came out against us in the open, but we drove them back to the entrance to the city gate. Then the archers shot arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king's men died. Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead." "David told the messenger, "Say this to Joab: 'Don't let this upset you; the sword devours one as well as another. Press the attack against the city and destroy it.' Say this to encourage Joab." "When Uriah's wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David ha


Who was the tallest President of the USA in the 20th century?

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, "Inaugural Address" (20 January 1961) The Pennsylvania State University   The Inaugural Address of John F. Kennedy is considered one of the greatest speeches in twentieth-century American public address. Communication scholars have ranked the speech second in a list of the hundred "top speeches" of the twentieth century based on its impact and artistry. [1] It is famous for its eloquence and for its call to duty: "Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country (26). [2] The young president spoke to the nation after a close, divisive election, and at a time when the American people were growing increasingly fearful of a long, drawn-out cold war. Yet instead of reassuring his audience by minimizing the dangers, Kennedy warned of a long, difficult struggle, emphasized differences between the United States and its enemies, and outlined the specific responsibilities and obligations of the United States and its citizens. Historians of the cold war and biographers of Kennedy agree about the quality and significance of the speech. Thurston Clarke claims that Kennedy's address is "generally acknowledged to have been the greatest oration of any twentieth-century politician." [3] Robert Dallek writes that the speech "thrilled the crowd of twenty thousand dignitaries and ordinary citizens" gathered in front of the Capitol building. [4] Arthur Schlesinger, who served as a Special Assistant to the president and later wrote a best-selling history of the Kennedy administration, calls the Inaugural Address a "splendid speech." [5] And James C. Humes identifies the speech as one of those rare presidential addresses that truly shaped history, calling it a speech of "brilliant eloquence" that inspired "American hopes" for the future. [6] The tradition of the presidential inaugural address in the United States is well established. Inaugural addresses typically aim to unify the nation and provide a vision for the future. They are supposed to be eloquent and pleasing to the ear. [7] Kennedy's Inaugural Address was certainly a well-crafted speech stylistically, and that alone may account for some of its fame. Yet there was much more to the speech than its stylistic eloquence. Kennedy's speech also created a bolder vision for American foreign policy, a vision that raised the stakes of the cold war competition and foreshadowed decades of diplomatic, economic, and even military action to support and defend freedom and liberty around the world. This essay will examine Kennedy's Inaugural Address and its legacy. Building on the existing scholarly literature, I acknowledge and account for the perceived eloquence of the speech. At the same time, however, I will assess the address as an example of hard-line cold war rhetoric that reduced global politics to an apocalyptic battle between democracy and communism--indeed, between good and evil--discursive features that Kennedy inherited from the country's earliest cold warriors. A close reading of the Kennedy inaugural and an analysis of its legacy in American politics will foster greater understanding of the intersections between U.S. foreign policy and presidential rhetoric. In his inaugural, Kennedy continued the polarizing rhetoric of the earliest cold war presidents, rhetoric that helped escalate cold war tensions and perpetuated a dichotomous world view. Kennedy called for increased U.S. expansion and intervention around the globe, ostensibly on behalf of freedom, pledging U.S. support to any nation or individuals seeking to pursue liberty and democracy. The rhetorical force of Kennedy�s inaugural persisted for decades during the cold war and is reflected, at least in part, in the rationalizations of U.S. military actions in the war on terror.   Biography of John F. Kennedy   John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born May 29, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts. He was the second child and second son of Joseph P. and Rose Kennedy. The Kennedys represented a new, wealthy Catholic urban class in American society. Joe Kennedy, a third-generatio


Which former English referee was President of FIFA from 1961-1974?

FIFA President - FIFA.com FIFA President All News Photos All Videos About the President Before being elected FIFA President, Gianni Infantino was the UEFA General Secretary since October 2009, having joined the organisation in 2000. Gianni led the fight against social ills and threats to the integrity of football in Europe, including all forms of discrimination, violence and hooliganism, and match-fixing. 1904 - 1906 Born 1876, Died 1952 Frenchman Robert Guerin was the dynamic figure behind the founding of FIFA in 1904. A journalist with Le Matin newspaper, Guerin was actively involved in football through his role as secretary of the Football Department of the Union des Societes Françaises de Sports Athletiques. He brought together representatives of the first seven member countries in Paris for the signing of FIFA's foundation act and agreement of the first FIFA statutes. On 22 May 1904, Guerin - then just 28 - was elected president at the inaugural FIFA Congress and remained in his post for two years, during which time another eight associations came on board, including the English Football Association. 1906 - 1918 Born 1852, Died 1918 An English FA administrator from Blackburn, Daniel Burley Woolfall was elected as President on 4 June 1906. A key aim during his presidency was to achieve uniform football rules on an international level and he played a prominent role in the drafting of FIFA's new constitution. Under Woolfall, the application of the Laws of the Game, established under the English model, became compulsory and a clear definition was made of international matches. Two years after assuming the presidency, he helped organise the first noteworthy international football competition, the 1908 Olympic Games in London. His reign as president brought the arrival of FIFA's first non-European members in South Africa, Argentina, Chile and the United States but was interrupted by the outbreak of the First World War. Woolfall's presidency ended with his death in August 1918. Born 1873, Died 1956  (named Honorary FIFA President on 21 June 1954) When the FIFA World Cup trophy was renamed in honour of Jules Rimet in 1946, it was rightful recognition of the role played by the Frenchman, then celebrating his 25 th anniversary as President, in establishing what fast became the sport's foremost competition. Rimet, inspired by the success of the Olympic Football Tournament, was the driving force behind the FIFA World Cup's inception in 1930. His overriding aim was a rapprochement of nations through sport and the First World War only reinforced his determination. He oversaw the first five tournaments before handing 'his' trophy over for the final time to West Germany captain Fritz Walter in June 1954. That same month, the then 80-year-old ended his long reign - during which FIFA membership grew from 20 to 85 countries - and became the federation's first Honorary President. 1954 - 1955 Born 1876, Died 1955 A lawyer from Brussels, Rodolphe William Seeldrayers was an accomplished sportsman in his youth, winning a Belgian championship with Racing Club Brussels - a club he later served as president. As a sports administrator, he helped found the Belgian Football Association and served on the International Olympic Committee. At FIFA he performed the duties of Vice-President for 27 years prior to succeeding Jules Rimet, his great comrade-in-arms. Seeldrayers was President for the 1954 FIFA World Cup and also oversaw the world governing body's 50 th anniversary celebrations that same year. He died in office on 7 October 1955. 1955 - 1961 Born 1891, Died 1961 Arthur Drewry served as interim head of FIFA for six months following the death of Rodolphe William Seeldrayers and then became President in his own right in June 1956. Together with Stanley Rous, he had keenly supported Jules Rimet's efforts to bring the British associations back into FIFA in 1946 and he also served as president of the Football League and chairman of the Football Association in England. The near five years that Drewry spent as President - from his election in 1956


John Constable’s ‘Haywain’ depicts a scene on which river?

John Constable | The Hay Wain | NG1207 | National Gallery, London More paintings in this room Constable's painting is based on a site in Suffolk, near Flatford on the River Stour. The hay wain, a type of horse-drawn cart, stands in the water in the foreground . Across the meadow in the distance on the right, is a group of haymakers at work. The cottage shown on the left was rented by a farmer called Willy Lott and stands behind Flatford Mill. Today, the cottage and river path are still much as they were in Constable's time. Although the painting evokes a Suffolk scene, it was created in the artist's studio in London. Constable first made a number of open-air sketches of parts of the scene. He then made a full-size preparatory sketch in oil to establish the composition . The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1821, the year it was painted, but failed to find a buyer. Yet when exhibited in France, with other paintings by Constable, the artist was awarded a Gold Medal by Charles X. Share this painting


Which real life western character had the Christian names James Butler?

6/12/2006 • Personalities , Wild West James Butler Hickok’s reputation as the Old West’s premier gunfighter or ‘man-killer’ made him a legend in his own lifetime–a distinction shared by few of his gunfighting contemporaries. Thanks to an article in Harper’s New Monthly Magazine in February 1867 and some other colorful accounts published in the mid-1860s, Hickok, or rather ‘Wild Bill,’ as he was generally called, was soon elevated from regional to national status. And since his death in 1876, he has achieved worldwide fame. This woodcut of Hickok appeared in the February 1867 Harper’s New Monthly Magazine as the lead illustration for a George Nichols article that helped make Wild Bill famous. But even without such publicity, Hickok would have made his mark, for he was a man whose personality, strength of character and single-mindedness set him apart. Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer described him as a’strange character, just the one which a novelist might gloat over… a Plainsman in every sense of the word… whose skill in the use of the rifle and pistol was unerring.’ Many others besides Custer regarded Wild Bill as the best pistol shot on the Plains–a man whose quick-witted reaction to danger enabled him, according to one account, to draw and fire his Colt Navy revolvers ‘before the average man had time to think about it.’ Credited with the deaths of 100 or more badmen, Hickok emerged as perhaps the most prolific man-killer of his generation. But when some of his critics branded him a ‘red-handed murderer,’ his reaction was predictable. Hickok admitted his flaws and vices as do most people, but he reckoned that being called a red-handed murderer was going too far. In February 1873, it was widely reported that he had been shot dead by Texans at Fort Dodge in Kansas. Worse, it was suggested that, like all men of his kind, he had died with his boots on. Wild Bill broke his silence of some years and wrote angrily to several newspapers, declaring, ‘No Texan has, nor ever will `corral William.” He also demanded to know who it was who prophesied that he and others should die with their boots on. ‘I have never insulted man or woman in my life, but if you knew what a wholesome regard I have for damn liars and rascals they would be liable to keep out of my way.’ Two years later, in conversation with Annie Tallant, one of the first white women to enter the Black Hills, Hickok again denied that he was a red-handed murderer, but admitted that he had killed men in self-defense or in the line of duty, adding, ‘I never allowed a man to get the drop on me.’ Sadly, it is Hickok’s pistol prowess and his image as the slayer of innumerable badmen that is best remembered today. Indeed, many seem unaware of his deserved reputation as a great Civil War scout, detective and spy; Indian scout and courier; U.S. deputy marshal; county sheriff; and town marshal. Wild Bill himself hated his desperado reputation, and he may well have regretted his famous alias, though it had been fastened upon him during the Civil War and he had no reason to feel ashamed of it. Nevertheless, he must have realized too late that once he pulled the legs of the likes of Colonel George Ward Nichols of Harper’s New Monthly Magazine and Henry M. Stanley of the St. Louis Weekly Missouri Democrat, he became a target for the press, sensationalists and reputation seekers. The real Hickok, however, was in complete contrast to his newspaper-inspired desperado image. Rather, he was gentlemanly, courteous, soft-spoken and graceful in manner, yet left no one in any doubt that he would not ‘be put upon,’ and if threatened would meet violence with violence. Wild Bill could be generous to a fault and, though slow to anger, would willingly defend a friend or the fearful if they were under threat. When angered, however, he became an implacable enemy and sought out and faced down those who insulted or challenged him. This man-to-man approach, rather than involving brothers or close friends in gunfights, feuds or disputes, earned him respect among his peers, especially when it was

What do the Americans call what we know as a fillet steak?

Shopping for Steak? Here Are the 4 Cuts You Should Know — Meat Basics | The Kitchn Email Let's talk steak — a big, beautiful slab of beef. I used to only eat steak when my parents treated us to an old-school steakhouse, and while I relished every minute of those meals, the menu always intimidated me. What was the difference between a New York steak and a ribeye? Why was filet mignon so freakin' expensive? Whether you cook steak at home or save it for a special occasion out like we did, it's important to know your high-end steak cuts. Here are the four most popular ones, and we'll cover where they're cut from, what they taste like, and how best to cook them. Are you ready for your steak primer? Let's go! 4 Cuts of Steak: Watch the Video Where Are They From? Let's take a look at the cow diagram above. All four of these steaks come from a few muscles in the same general area toward the top of the steer: the short loin, tenderloin, and the ribs. These muscles aren't exercised very much or contain a lot of connective tissues that need to be cooked for a long time to be broken down. As a result, these steaks are much more tender than other cuts of beef, and fast cooking and intense heat are all that's needed to char and brown the outside of these meats while the inside can be eaten as rare as you like. Why Are These Steaks So Expensive? Relative to the size of the steer, these premium cuts are only a small percentage, which contribute to their premium prices. Since they're expensive, it's really worth knowing how each one is different so you buy the one that you like the best! Do you like big beefy flavor, or is the tenderest cut your favorite? Here's everything you need to know about each cut so that you make a wise choice. Tenderloin (aka filet mignon) Other names: Filet mignon, Châteaubriand, fillet, filet How it's sold: Boneless; the most expensive cut of steak Where it's from: Short loin and sirloin, under the ribs. A whole tenderloin starts out wide and then tapers at the other end (the "tail"). Filet mignon is from the smaller end; Châteaubriand the thicker end. What it looks like: When trimmed of silver skin, gristle, and fat, tenderloin is small and compact. The meat is lean and very fine-grained in texture. Because of its smaller shape, tenderloin steaks are cut thicker than most steaks. What it tastes like: The tenderest of all the steaks and lean, tenderloin is buttery and mild in flavor. How to cook it: Because cuts of tenderloin tend to be thick, the best way to cook it is to sear the outside until browned, then finish the cooking in the gentle, even heat of an oven. New York Strip Other names: Strip, Manhattan, Kansas City strip, top sirloin, top loin, contre-filet How it's sold: Usually boneless Where it's from: Short loin behind the ribs What it looks like: Fat on one edge of the steak. While there is some fat marbling throughout, there are no large pockets of fat. The meat is fine-grained in texture. What it tastes like: With medium fat content, New York strips are tender, but not as tender as tenderloins or ribeyes, and have good, beefy flavor. How to cook it: Cook over high heat — pan-sear, broil, or grill. T-Bone 3. T-Bone Other names: Porterhouse How it's sold: Bone in. According to USDA regulations, the tenderloin portion must be 1.25" wide to be classified as a porterhouse and only .5" wide to be classified as a T-bone. Where it's from: A cross section of the unfilleted short loin What it looks like: The name says it all; there is a T-shaped bone with meat on both sides of the longer portion of the bone. On one side is a piece of the tenderloin, and the other side is New York strip. Generous fat marbling throughout. What it tastes like: You get the best of both worlds with this cut: super-tender, buttery tenderloin, and beefy, juicy strip steak. How to cook it: Because there are basically two different kinds of steak in one cut, you have to be careful when cooking since the tenderloin will cook more quickly than the strip side. Try to keep the tenderloin further away from the heat source: use a two-leve


In which film did the Minions first appear?

Minions review 23 June 2015 • 1:33pm The tiny Despicable Me henchmen deserve better than this fourth-rate spin-off We could argue about the artistic merits of the Despicable Me franchise until long past its target audience’s bedtime, but one thing is beyond question: it's seriously popular. The first film was released in the UK as an October half-term frolic but went on to play for three months, while the 2013 sequel, which was accorded a more prestigious June release, ran for six.  In terms of looks and brains, the films had nothing on Pixar, but they shared two magic ingredients that helped make them endurable hits. One was a chart-friendly soul number from Pharrell Williams on the soundtrack (Happy, the theme from Despicable Me 2, went on to become the most-downloaded song in British chart history). And the other was the Minions: a horde of linguistically impaired, marzipan-coloured cylinder people in the service of the films’ nefarious anti-hero Gru, who provided a steady stream of slapstick relief. The Minions go to England in the Despicable Me spin-off The appearance of a Minions-only spin-off film in the gap between the second and impending third Despicable Mes, therefore, makes perfect business sense: in fact, Penguins of Madagascar pulled a similar stunt only last December, with mostly successful results. But what’s surprising about Minions is that it squanders these yellow oddballs’ new-found freedom: in fact, it yokes them to a permanent supervillain gig almost as soon as it possibly can, as if directors Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin and screenwriter Brian Lynch were terrified of skittering too far off-piste. Before it cops out, though, the film’s a delight. It opens with a hand-drawn prologue, in which we see the Minions evolving from a shoal of plankton-like parasites. As they scramble up the food-chain – in the wakes of progressively bigger and nastier boss fish, naturally – they finally bob to the ocean’s surface and, like a self-inflating life-raft, the film suddenly plumps out into rubbery CGI. Then follows a string of miniature skits, in which the small yellow types serve various historical brutes, from Tyrannosaurus Rex to the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. Frustratingly, what seems like the set-up for an internship with Richard Nixon (the Minions bob into New York Harbor in 1968, under a grinning poster of the US president) comes to nothing. Instead, three Minion emissaries, called Kevin, Bob and Stuart, make for a villain convention in Florida, where they throw in their lot with Scarlett Overkill (voiced by Sandra Bullock), a rising star on the bad-guy circuit. (Jon Hamm gives what will surely be the most negligible voice performance of the year as Herb, her husband-slash-kit man.) Super-villain Scarlett Overkill (voiced by Sandra Bullock) and the Minions And it’s here the film’s spark is snuffed out for good: the focus shifts to Scarlett’s convoluted plan to overthrow the Queen of England, and the film becomes a fourth-rate Despicable Me clone. You sense a shuddering apprehension in every creative choice – as if one false move, or even an overly brazen one, would destabilise the formula. The Sixties setting, for instance, seems to have been chosen largely so the plot can dovetail with what we should probably now call The Despicable Me Expanded Universe, rather than for its unique look or specific comic potential. Most of the film could be taking place anywhere, and the period detail doesn’t extend much further than hippies, teapots and songs by Donovan and The Kinks – real souvenir-shop stuff. In the same way, there’s no attempt to give the Minions material that might better play to their preverbal, indestructible strengths. Had Balda and Coffin drawn inspiration from silent comedy – as Aardman Animations did for their intricately funny Shaun the Sheep movie – you suspect the film might have been better equipped to sustain the energy of those giddy early minutes. But instead, it soon becomes one barely choreographed, weightless action sequence flailing into the next. On paper, Minions adds up: as, no dou

What was the name of Sony’s first game console?

TheGameConsole.com: Sony Video Game Consoles Sony Video Game Consoles Sony PlayStation Released September 1995 Nintendo asked Sony to develop a CD-ROM add-on called "PlayStation" for the SNES. Because Sony wanted 25% of all profits Nintendo earned from sales of this PlayStation and all PlayStation games, after Sony revealed that they were developing it, Nintendo instead went to Philips. This caused Sony to consider abandoning their research, however instead they used what they had developed so far and made it into a full blown console. This led to Nintendo filing a lawsuit claiming breach of contract and attempted, in U.S. federal court, to obtain an injunction against the release of the PlayStation, on the grounds that Nintendo owned the name. The federal judge presiding over the case denied the injunction. The PlayStation was launched in Japan on December 3, 1994, the USA on September 9, 1995 and Europe on September 29, 1995. In America, Sony enjoyed a very successful launch with titles of almost every genre including Toshinden, Twisted Metal, Warhawk, and Ridge Racer. Almost all of Sony 's and Namco's launch titles went on to produce numerous sequels.

Which seventeenth century leader reputedly told his troops to ‘put your trust in God and keep your powder dry’?

The English Civil War Society of America Home Page A Brief treatise of ECW Music and 'How It Was' By Robert Giglio During times in camp, on the march or in battle, the officers and common soldiers of the English Civil War would often lift their spirits through singing, as has happened throughout history. The Royalists sang songs mainly of a sentimental, bawdy or humorous nature, with airs and words that we find acceptable even today. The Parliamentarians are often credited with singing psalms and hymns, which was considered typical of them, but songs equal to those of the cavaliers were not unheard of. This article will give a brief background into what each faction did sing, for entertainment, moral, and political purposes. Society members should all have a copy of the ECWSA's Songbook by now (latest version distributed at Severn), which contains numerous period (and not-so-period, but entertaining!) songs, many with tunes as well. This will be an on-going project, to add to and update the songbook. Those Singing Cavaliers Cavaliers have survived in popular imagination as a jolly crew, come wind or weather - "fall back, fall edge", to use their own contemporary phrase - with time to wench, dice, drink, and sing, as well as fight their more austere opponents. This picture is indeed accurate, and I am happy to say is very well recreated by our Royalist officers and soldiers (and wenches!) A great part of their revelry was accompanied by song, and that no convivial gathering was complete without topical ballads of love and war. John Webb, who was a Parliamentarian spy, reported to his chief that ever since the Royalists had established their headquarters at Oxford, "they have made songs...in a disgraceful manner in contempt of religion and Parliament." Cavaliers were clearly happy to toss off an impromptu chorus literally at the drop of a feathered hat! For example, when they rejected Cromwell's summons to surrender Devize in 1645, they did so by tying a set of verses to a dog's collar and sending the animal into the Parliamentarian lines. The verses went to the tune of 'I Tell Thee Jack', and began with the remarkable modern line - "Believe it, friend, we care not for you." Since many of the Devizes defenders were Welsh, the message concluded - "Her loving friend, if her minds her manners, shon up Morgan, gent." Coincidentally, a Welshman and Devizes figure again provides the most famous musical incident of the war connected with the Royalists. The story begins with a raid on the town by the Parliamentary cavalry of Sir William Waller. They caught the cavaliers napping, and in a blistering charge slashed and pistolled their way through the streets at will. After the raid a group of Cavaliers gathered in the quarters of a Welsh captain named John Gwyn, to see what could be done. Many of these men were "reformadoes" - officers whose regiments had been so depleted that they were chiefs without Indians. Their social status made it unlikely that they would serve as common troopers, but by temperament and skill they were very much there for a bold independent stroke, and Captain John Gwyn was an ideal leader. After two hours of heated talk it was decided to save face with an unofficial counter-attack, and twenty-seven cavaliers rode ten miles across the down to Marlborough to smash Waller's rear-guard camped unsuspectingly on the outskirts of the town. It was agreed that after swords had been drawn not a word was to be spoken, but they were to fall on, one and all, singing "a brisk lively tune." True to plan they charged in at noon on market day, singing lustily, and to the delight of the country folk drove the roundheads through the town, before returning unscathed to Devizes with a haul of prisoners, horses, and weapons. The brisk lively tune which braced their spirits that day was not dissimilar to the Scottish air, 'Up in the morning early'. If this was the message it conveyed in those days, it surely made its point with the bewildered roundheads. This is not the only recorded instance of singing swordsmen. When Prince Rupe


At the 2014 FIFA World Cup which German player became the top scorer, with a total of 16 goals?

Europe's all-time top international goalscorers - UEFA EURO - News - UEFA.com Europe's all-time top international goalscorers Published: Wednesday 9 September 2015, 9.30CET Newly crowned as England's all-time top scorer, Wayne Rooney has also joined the club of European players boasting 50 international goals or more. UEFA.com salutes all 17. Published: Wednesday 9 September 2015, 9.30CET Europe's all-time top international goalscorers Newly crowned as England's all-time top scorer, Wayne Rooney has also joined the club of European players boasting 50 international goals or more. UEFA.com salutes all 17. Read more Wayne Rooney found the net against Switzerland on Tuesday to become England's all-time leading scorer, yet his goal also came loaded with additional prestige. The Manchester United forward etched his name onto an illustrious list of European players to have reached a half-century of strikes for their national team, becoming the 17th to reach the 50-mark. Related Items Keane closes on Ronaldo Even so, the 29-year-old is at the bottom of this particular leaderboard and remains a long way off Ferenc Puskás's continental record. Indeed, former Arminia Bielefeld, Bayern München and Hertha BSC attacker Ali Daei's world record of 109 international goals for Iran may be safe for another generation. UEFA.com presents the European roll of honour. Ferenc Puskás (Hungary & Spain) – 84 goals in 89 appearances The 'Galloping Major' remains in a field of his own in European goalscoring terms. His final total might have been considerably higher given he played the last of his 85 games for Hungary in 1956 aged just 29 – subsequently leaving his homeland and eventually settling at Real Madrid. Having taken Spanish citizenship, he played four further internationals for Spain between 1961 and 1962, yet never scored for his adopted country. Sándor Kocsis (Hungary) – 75 goals in 68 appearances The inside-forward scored 11 times at the 1954 FIFA World Cup. A team-mate of Puskás with Budapest Honvéd and Hungary, he was to register seven hat-tricks for the national team, earning the nickname 'The Man With The Golden Head' for his stellar aerial prowess. Retiring after a spell with Barcelona, he ran a restaurant – La Tête d'Or – prior to his untimely death in 1979, aged 49. ©AFP/Getty Images Miroslav Klose lifts the World Cup Miroslav Klose (Germany) – 71 goals in 137 appearances Few would have expected Klose to become the all-time leading scorer at World Cups when he first appeared at one in 2002. However, 12 years and 16 goals later, he retired from international football with a World Cup title and several personal records in the bag. The 36-year-old Lazio totem is Germany's most prolific marksman ever and became one of the game's best poachers. Known for his aerial ability and general work ethic, Klose has been cited by several former team-mates as one of the best role models they ever played with. Gerd Müller (West Germany) – 68 goals in 62 appearances Like Puskás, Müller did not appear to have the natural physique of a footballer. His first coach at Bayern, Zlatko Čajkovski, nicknamed him 'Kleines dickes Müller' (Little, fat Müller), but his instincts, aerial power and fearsome acceleration over short distances marked him out as perhaps the wiliest fox ever to have patrolled a European box. He scored in the finals as West Germany won the 1972 UEFA European Championship and the 1974 World Cup. Robbie Keane (Republic of Ireland) – 67 goals in 142 appearances Two goals against FYR Macedonia in a UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier in June 2011 took Keane's tally to 51, making him the first player from any British Isles nation to achieve a half-century for their country. He has since become the leading scorer in UEFA European Championship qualifying and continues to be a key man under manager Martin O'Neill. "When I first came into the Ireland squad, Niall Quinn said to me I would get 50 goals, so it's probably down to him," he said. Imre Schlosser (Hungary) – 59 goals in 68 appearances Schlosser netted an incredible 258 goals in 155 league match

Which vegetable is present in dishes cooked ‘a la Crecy’?

Potage Crécy: French for “It’s cold outside—you need some creamy carrot soup” Potage Crécy: French for “It’s cold outside—you need some creamy carrot soup” by Terry B on January 28, 2009 A handful of basic ingredients—carrots, potatoes, leeks, stock, fresh thyme and cream—proves once again that the French are masters of sublime simplicity, in this colorful, subtle soup. Recipe below. The thing that keeps me coming back to French food is its perfect simplicity. And yes, classic French cuisine is littered with plenty of complex creations, all wonderful, to be sure. But what really wows me is how they can take a half dozen or so ordinary ingredients and in a few simple steps make something perfect. The French get food. They celebrate it. Much as their wines are named for the regions where the grapes are grown, many French dishes are named for their places of origin. According to Williams-Sonoma Collection: French , a gem of a cookbook, Crécy-en-Ponthieu in northern France is known for producing some of the country’s best carrots. Hence, the name for this creamy soup. [According to other sources, the town is even better known for a crucial battle in the Hundred Years’ War in 1346, a battle that did not end well for the French.] If I have to choose between dusty history and this subtle, satisfying potage, give me the soup, please. A soup by any other name. Depending on who’s doing the counting, the French have either three or four distinct categories of soups. At one end of the scale is consommé, a clear broth that may or may not contain garnishes. At the opposite end is soupe, a “thick, hearty mélange with chunks of food,” according to epicurious.com. Potage falls somewhere in the middle, a thick, creamy soup that is often puréed. The Williams-Sonoma cookbook here calls out another category, bisque, a smooth, velvety soup most often made with lobster or shellfish and cream. One notable potage is even simpler than the one I’ve made this week—Julia Child’s potage parmentier, or leek and potato soup as it is simply called in her classic cookbook, Mastering The Art of French Cooking . Its ingredients are water, potatoes, leeks, butter, cream, and salt. Not even chicken stock. Whatever else she served, her husband’s meal began with this simple soup every night. Potage Crécy [poh-TAHZH creh-SEE] is nearly as elegantly austere and every bit as soul satisfyingly delicious. Even though carrots star in this dish, they don’t dominate. No single ingredient does—not the chicken stock, the potatoes, the leeks, cream or even the fresh thyme. Instead, they all work together to create something better and more delicately flavored than the ingredients list might suggest. As always, the fewer the number of ingredients in a dish, the harder each has to work. For the carrots, even if you can’t get them from Crécy, choose carefully. Go for slender, fresh looking carrots, preferably organic. Larger, thicker carrots can often be tough. For chicken stock, homemade is best. If that’s not possible, choose a good quality commercial broth over bouillon cubes; I used an organic, free range chicken broth from Trader Joe’s. Potage Crécy 1 leek, white and tender green parts, rinsed and sliced [see Kitchen Notes] 3/4 pounds carrots [about 5 or 6], diced 3/4 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes, diced 2-1/2 cups chicken stock or broth 1-1/4 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves [or 1/2 teaspoon dried] 1 cup half-and-half 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste [see Kitchen Notes] additional fresh thyme leaves, for garnish [or finely chopped flat-leaf parsley—see Kitchen Notes] Heat a dutch oven or large soup pot over medium heat. Melt butter and combine with olive oil. Add leeks and sauté, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add thyme, cover the pot and simmer until carrots and potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Purée the soup in a blender or food processor, in batches,
