Staffordshire's Forgotten Borough and Castle The Dissertation Introduction The subject of this dissertation will centre on group of hills but not just hills. Some of these hills have be used, altered and enhanced by man, during the course of their long history. The history of the hills will also need to be put in to context of the area around them. The hills themselves centre upon a so called “Iron Age” [1] Hill Fort, although its name Berth Hill may indicate it was also an Anglo-Saxon burh. There are also hills with the names, Camp Hill a name often associated with Roman camps, War Hill, Red Hill, Bury Hill and Kings Bank. The Victoria County History for Staffordshire said about the hills, “there is an auspiciousness about the names”. [2] There are also numerous barrows or so called “Bronze Age” [3] Burial Mounds or do they belong to or were they used during the early Mercian pagan period? The hillfort itself  could have begun life as an Iron Age citadel, become a Roman station, been reoccupied by the Britain’s in post Roman times and been used as a Mercian burh in their various conflicts. Its historical lineage could in theory be immense. The hillfort is also be in a very strategic position, on the edge of the Lyme forests and in the marshes in the heart of the midlands gap between the upper Trent and the middle Severn. There is also the possibility of Maer Hills being at the hub of the areas Roman or perhaps Romanized prehistoric road network and this could also point to considerable history. It is also around this area to the north of Watling Street where the Roman invasion may have halted for several years, and where the kingdom of Mercia is thought by some to have had its origins. [4] It seems that all of the various earthworks and the other hills have historical question marks against them. The aim of this dissertation is to provide some possible answers to some of these questions. There will also be an attempt made to reconstruct the Anglo-Saxon landscape. In order to make some sense of what the area around the hills could have been like. They will also need to be placed in context of the social, political and religious units which they would have belonged and the communications network in which they existed.   Chapter 1/ The Physical Setting Maer Hills now and in recent times Maer Hills are today private property but often thought of as parkland and the tree covered hills and the many footpaths make for excellent walking and exercising etc. Maer Hills is also surrounded by what is regarded as unspoiled scenic countryside. The trees that cover Maer Hills are the result of Josiah Wedgwood the second’s energetic landscaping of the area. Wedgwood also brought much of the “waste” of the area in to production by draining and the creation of large plantations, after his acquisition of the Jacobean Maer Hall and the estate that was to grow to 1,000 acres, in the early 19th century. [5] The hills up to Wedgwood’s acquisition were referred to as heath land. [6] The nearest urban centre to Maer is Newcastle under Lyme some 5 or 6 miles to the North West along the A53, the earliest documentary evidence for this “New-castle’s” existence was around the time of the troubled reign of King Stephen. [7] There is however good evidence for the Newcastle settlement being in existence at the time of the Domesday Book, as an appendix to the Trentham entry, thought of in terms of a Market Trentham. [8] Most local historians have agreed however, that the rise of Newcastle to borough status was as a result of the decline and fall of another near by castle and urban centre. These historians differ on the site of this previous castle and urban centre. [9] Speculation has put forward nearby Chesterton and its Roman

What is the name of the so called God Particle that the Hadron Collider scientists claim to have found evidence of in December 2011?

We may have glimpsed the Higgs boson, say Cern scientists | Science | The Guardian Higgs boson We may have glimpsed the Higgs boson, say Cern scientists Physicists have seen strong hints the Higgs boson exists, but a firm discovery may not come before the end of 2012 Tuesday 13 December 2011 11.06 EST First published on Tuesday 13 December 2011 11.06 EST Close This article is 5 years old Scientists believe they may have caught their first glimpse of the Higgs boson , the so-called God particle that is thought to underpin the subatomic workings of nature. Physicists Fabiola Gianotti and Guido Tonelli were applauded by hundreds of scientists yesterday as they revealed evidence for the particle amid the debris of hundreds of trillions of proton collisions inside the Large Hadron Collider at Cern, the European particle physics laboratory near Geneva. First postulated in the mid-1960s, the Higgs boson has become the most coveted prize in particle physics. Its discovery would rank among the most important scientific advances of the past 100 years and confirm how elementary particles acquire mass. While the results are not conclusive – the hints of the particle could fade when the LHC collects more data next year – they are the strongest evidence so far that the Higgs particle is there to be found. "We have narrowed down the region where the Higgs particle is most likely to be, and we see some interesting signals, but we need more data before we can reach any firm conclusions," said Gianotti, who heads the team that works on the collider's enormous Atlas detector. "It's been a busy time, but a very exciting time." Finding the Higgs boson has been a major goal for the £10bn LHC after a less powerful machine at Cern called LEP failed to find the missing particle before it closed for business in 2000. The Higgs boson is the signature particle of a theory published by six physicists within a few months of each other in 1964. Peter Higgs, at Edinburgh University, was the first to point out that the theory called for the existence of the missing particle. Ben Allanach, a theoretical physicist at Cambridge University, said: "My own personal feeling is that they probably have some kind of Higgs. Of course, discovery cannot be officially claimed yet, but I do feel in my heart of hearts that we have just seen the precursor to a discovery announcement." According to the Higgs theory, an invisible energy field fills the vacuum of space throughout the universe. When some particles move through the field they feel drag and gain weight as a result. Others, such as particles of light, or photons, feel no drag at all and remain massless. Without the field – or something to do its job – all fundamental particles would weigh nothing and hurtle around at the speed of light. That would spell disaster for the formation of atoms in the early universe and rule out life as we know it. Scientists have no hope of detecting the field itself, but discovery of the Higgs boson would prove that it exists. While the field is thought to give mass to fundamental particles, including quarks and electrons (the two kinds of particles that make up atoms), it accounts for only one or two percent of the weight of an atom itself, or any everyday object. That is because most mass comes from the energy that glues quarks together inside atoms. To hunt for the Higgs boson physicists at the LHC sift through showers of subatomic debris that spew out when protons collide in the machine at close to the speed of light. Most of the energy released in these microscopic fireballs is converted into well known particles that are identified by the collider's giant detectors. Occasionally the collisions might create a Higgs boson, but it is expected that it would disintegrate immediately into more familiar particles. To find it scientists must look for telltale "excesses" of particles. They appear as bumps, or peaks, in data. Particle physicists use a "sigma" scale to grade the significance of results, from one to five. One and two sigma results are unreliable because they come and go

"The 1981 film ""Chariots of Fire"" featured the achievements of Harold Abrahams and which Scottish missionary who refused to run in the 100m heats on a Sunday and instead won the 400m Gold Medal in the 1924 Olympics?"

Chariots of Fire Chariots of Fire $5.5 million (£3 million) [1] Box office $59 million (U.S.) [2] Chariots of Fire is a 1981 British historical drama film . It tells the fact-based story of two athletes in the 1924 Olympics : Eric Liddell , a devout Scottish Christian who runs for the glory of God, and Harold Abrahams , an English Jew who runs to overcome prejudice. The film was conceived and produced by David Puttnam , written by Colin Welland , and directed by Hugh Hudson . It was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won four, including Best Picture and Best Screenplay . It is ranked 19th in the British Film Institute ‘s list of Top 100 British films . The film is also notable for its memorable instrumental theme tune by Vangelis , who won the Academy Award for Best Original Score . The film’s title was inspired by the line, “Bring me my chariot of fire,” from the William Blake poem adapted into the popular British hymn “Jerusalem” ; the hymn is heard at the end of the film. [3] The original phrase “chariot(s) of fire” is from 2 Kings 2:11 and 6:17 in the Bible. Contents 11 External links Plot In 1919, Harold Abrahams ( Ben Cross ) enters the University of Cambridge , where he experiences anti-Semitism from the staff, but enjoys participating in the Gilbert and Sullivan club. He becomes the first person to ever complete the Trinity Great Court Run – running around the college courtyard in the time it takes for the clock to strike 12. Abrahams achieves an undefeated string of victories in various national running competitions. Although focused on his running, he falls in love with a leading Gilbert and Sullivan soprano, Sybil ( Alice Krige ). Eric Liddell ( Ian Charleson ), born in China of Scottish missionary parents, is in Scotland. His devout sister Jennie ( Cheryl Campbell ) disapproves of Liddell’s plans to pursue competitive running. But Liddell sees running as a way of glorifying God before returning to China to work as a missionary. When they first race against each other, Liddell beats Abrahams. Abrahams takes it poorly, but Sam Mussabini ( Ian Holm ), a professional trainer whom he had approached earlier, offers to take him on to improve his technique. This attracts criticism from the Cambridge college masters ( John Gielgud and Lindsay Anderson ), who allege it is not gentlemanly for an amateur to “play the tradesman” by employing a professional coach. Abrahams dismisses this concern, interpreting it as cover for anti-Semitic and class-based prejudice. When Eric Liddell accidentally misses a church prayer meeting because of his running, his sister Jennie upbraids him and accuses him of no longer caring about God. Eric tells her that though he intends to eventually return to the China mission, he feels divinely inspired when running, and that not to run would be to dishonour God, saying, “I believe that God made me for a purpose. But He also made me fast, and when I run, I feel His pleasure.” The two athletes, after years of training and racing, are accepted to represent Great Britain in the 1924 Olympics in Paris. Also accepted are Abrahams’ Cambridge friends, Lord Andrew Lindsay ( Nigel Havers ), Aubrey Montague ( Nicholas Farrell ), and Henry Stallard ( Daniel Gerroll ). While boarding the boat to Paris for the Olympics, Liddell learns the news that the heat for his 100-metre race will be on a Sunday. He refuses to run the race – despite strong pressure from the Prince of Wales and the British Olympic committee – because his Christian convictions prevent him from running on the Sabbath . Hope appears when Liddell’s teammate Lindsay, having already won a silver medal in the 400 metres hurdles , proposes to yield his place in the 400-metre race on the following Thursday to Liddell, who gratefully agrees. His religious convictions in the face of national athletic pride make headlines around the world. Liddell delivers a sermon at the Paris Church of Scotland that Sunday, and quotes from Isaiah 40, ending with: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagl

A blue plaque marks the birthplace. It simply says Alan Turing 1912 – 1954. Codebreaker and pioneer of computer science was born here. He was     a man who would change the world, and arguably do more to save Great Britain     from defeat during WWII than any one individual. Genius is     a rare commodity. It shows the ability to think outside the square. Originality     is astrologically linked to Uranus, the planet often dubbed the Great     Awakener. The brilliance of Einstein may be connected to a prominent Uranus     as his focal planet, situated in the astrological house of the mind in     his birth horoscope. Uranus was also alone and placed the very top of     Alan Turing’s birth chart. Individuals     born with planets precisely on angles, tend to exhibit the quality of     these planets powerfully in their lives. Two potent examples of this are     Edward Snowden and Bob Dylan, born with Mercury the messenger rising and     setting respectively, in the information sign of Gemini, which it rules.     Dylan wrote and delivered message songs. Snowden revealed the most important     message of all regarding global communication. BORN     TO DIFFERENCE But it wasn’t     only Uranus on one angle that played a pivotal role in Turing’s     chart. He had fortunate Jupiter on another – it was setting at his     birth. The condition of two planets on separate angles - rising, setting     or culminating - is known under the ancient Greek term of ‘paranatellonta’,     generally shortened to paran. A paran is one of the most powerful indicators     in delineating a horoscope. Click here     for his horoscope. The guru planet     Jupiter and the originality of Uranus incites an unquenchable thirst for     knowledge. It is the signature of technological breakthroughs and scientific     invention. Alan Turing was born with the planetary gift for science and     invention. His Uranus was also nicely aligned to logical Saturn, a planet     statistically linked to research scientists, and those capable of carrying     out painstaking mental work. An early clue     to Turing’s perseverance occurred on his first day at Sherborne     high school, at age thirteen. It was during the 1926 General Strike in     England. Undeterred, Turing rode his bicycle 97 kilometers to ensure he     started on time. Throughout his life he would maintain his bike riding     and fitness, often running marathon distances. His school     demeanor however did not adhere him to teachers, as his interest was science     rather than a classical education. He gained first class honors in mathematics     from Cambridge. As a teenager he understood the laws of Einstein before having fully read them. BIRTH     OF THE MODERN COMPUTER By 1935/36     Turing’s progressed Sun had reached a conjunction with Neptune,     the planet of invisible connections. Neptune is prominent in horoscopes     of the birth of both the Internet and World Wide Web. By now Turing’s     Ascendant had also progressed to the union of his expressive Sun and deep     thinking Pluto, bringing him to scientific prominence. On May 28     1936 Turing submitted a groundbreaking paper ‘On Computable Numbers’.     This thesis laid the platform for the modern computer. He went on to receive     his PhD from Princeton University in the June of 1938 with his status     bearing Midheaven trine the approval planet of Venus. By 1938 Turing     was also studying cryptology and in the September of

A fourth common card is then dealt face up. This is known as "the turn." This is followed by a third round of betting. A fifth and final community up card is dealt. This is known as "the river." A fifth and final betting round follows. Making Your Hand Each player determines his five card poker hand by making the best combination of the five common cards, known as "the board," and his two individual cards. He may use both of his hole cards, one card only, or none of his hole cards. Here are some sample hands. Can you figure out what each player's best poker hand is and who has the best hand? Test yourself first, then look below to see how you did. Notice that the very best hand started out as just two sixes in Jono's hand but became four 6s by the end of the deal for the best hand. There's also a full house, held by Mona who uses her two Queens with the Queen and two sixes on the board to make Queens full. This is the highest full house that is possible. There is no flush. A player in this hand would have to have two diamonds to make a flush -- combining them with the three diamonds on the board. If there had been four diamonds on the board then Mary, with her one Jack of diamonds, would have had a flush. Look at Horace and Erin's hands. They each have two pair, Aces and 6s. But Erin's hand is better since hers is Aces and 6s with a King kicker and Horace's is Aces and 6s with a Queen kicker. This happens a lot in hold'em. The fifth card often separates a winner from a loser. Notice finally that the worst two hands don't use their two hole cards at all. Their best hand consists of just the five cards on the board. They cannot improve it by using their hands. So they would "play the board" as it is known in this game. If the board is the best hand anyone can make then all players still in the hand tie and split the pot. How Texas Hold'em is Bet General Betting Rules There are many different forms of Hold'em. They divide into three broad categories of betting structure: limit, pot limit, and no limit. I'll describe the two most common: limit and no limit. Let me begin with some elements and definitions that are common to all forms of the game. There are four rounds of betting in Hold'em. They are known as "pre-flop," "flop," "turn," and "river" respectively. Pre-flop: the round of betting when each player has two hole cards only. Flop: the round of betting when each player has two hole cards and there are three exposed common cards. Turn: the round of betting when each player has two hole cards and there are four exposed


"""The Haywain"" and ""Dedham Valley"" are paintings by Constable both feature which river that forms much of the border between Essex and Suffolk?"

John Constable and the Essex fox – Dedham – Flatford – Cattawade round | Constable Country Walks | Walking Guide The Walks » Constable Country Walks » John Constable and the Essex fox – Dedham – Flatford – Cattawade round John Constable and the Essex Fox Dedham – Flatford – Cattawade round Mobile friendly version Dedham an attractive village in the borough of Colchester is situated on the River Stour and on the border of Essex and Suffolk. Dedham has some of the most beautiful lowland landscapes in England especially the water meadows of the River Stour, the river forming the boundary between the counties of Essex and Suffolk. The water meadows are an ideal place to relax, walk or hire a boat for a paddle down the river. Dedham, Dedham Vale and the River Stour are in the heart of Constable Country where John Constable got his inspiration to paint from. John Constable lived in East Bergholt, just north of Dedham, but went to school in Dedham. Many of his paintings feature Dedham, including Dedham Mill which his father owned, and the 15th century St. Mary’s Church whose massive 131 foot steeple dominates the surrounding Dedham Vale. Dedham was once a wealthy wool and market town and now agriculture is the main industry with mainly arable land of sugar beet and wheat. There is also some grazing of cattle and sheep. The village has become a very popular tourist attraction with plenty to do for everyone, from the young to the old to the disabled. The nearest town is the small market town of Manningtree. Flatford, also situated on the River Stour just a few miles east of Dedham, is the most interesting and beautiful place with so much to see and do. You can understand how John Constable got his inspiration to paint in this very attractive and quaint dale. His paintings of Flatford often featured the Granary and of Flatford Mill which his father also owned along with Dedham Mill. The Granary is now privately owned and offers B&B accommodation and only yards away is Flatford Mill and Willy Lott’s House both the latter owned by the National Trust and it is here between the two buildings that Constable painted his most famous painting “The Hay Wain”. Flatford Mill is a Grade 1 listed 18th century watermill and attached to the mill is a 17th century miller’s cottage and Willy Lott’s Cottage is 16th century but was restored in 1920’s both the latter are Grade 1 listed. Bridge Cottage, also owned by the National Trust, has a free exhibition of Constable’s work and next door there is a tearoom and shop. Adjacent to the tearoom is the dry dock which was featured in his “Boat Building” painting. Rowing boats can be hired from the landing stage next to Flatford Bridge and river trips on the River Stour Trust’s electric boat are available on certain days during the summer season. There is a large coach and car park at the top of the hill. The car park at the National Trust Visitors Centre is for the disabled where there are public toilets with disabled and baby facilities. Opposite the disabled car park there is the RSPB Flatford Wildlife Garden, a new project which opened on the 15th June 2011. The garden has been landscaped and planted with many species of garden and wild flowers to attract wildlife, birds, insects and butterflies to nest and feed. Entry is free and during the summer months children and families can take part in the activities and events of the day. There are a few small circular walks around Flatford which can be obtained from the visitors centre. The River Stour is 47 miles long and forms most of the border between Suffolk and Essex. Cattawade picnic area is where the River Stour enters the estuary and meets the sea. The picnic area on the Cattawade Marshes and the right of way on the Essex or the South side of the river towards Flatford and Dedham are excellent for bird watching. The Walk We park in Dedham car park and walk to the bridge. We take a short detour to the left to take a look at the lock keepers cottage and Dedham Mill. We then go back to the bridge and follow the Stour Valley Path with the River Stour o


The Mekong river is the border between Laos and which other Asian country for about 1000km of its length?

Mekong River | river, Southeast Asia | Britannica.com river, Southeast Asia Alternative Titles: Lan-ts’ang Chiang, Lancang Jiang, Mae Nam Khong, Mékôngk River, Mènam Khong, Song Cuu Long, Sông Tiên Giang Related Topics Khone Falls Mekong River, Cambodian Mékôngk, Laotian Mènam Khong, Thai Mae Nam Khong, Vietnamese Sông Tiên Giang, Chinese (Pinyin) Lancang Jiang or (Wade-Giles) Lan-ts’ang Chiang, river that is the longest river in Southeast Asia , the 7th longest in Asia , and the 12th longest in the world. It has a length of about 2,700 miles (4,350 km). Rising in southeastern Qinghai province, China , it flows through the eastern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region and Yunnan province, after which it forms part of the international border between Myanmar (Burma) and Laos , as well as between Laos and Thailand . The river then flows through Laos, Cambodia , and Vietnam before draining into the South China Sea south of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). Vientiane (Viangchan), the capital of Laos, and Phnom Penh , the capital of Cambodia, both stand on its banks. About three-fourths of the drainage area of the Mekong lies within the four countries the river traverses on its lower course—Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

Contunico © ZDF Enterprises GmbH, Mainz Physical features The Mekong River drains more than 313,000 square miles (810,000 square km) of land, stretching from the Plateau of Tibet to the South China Sea . Among Asian rivers, only the Yangtze and Ganges have larger minimum flows. Mekong River delta, southern Vietnam. M. Gifford/De Wys Inc. The contrast between the physical conditions that prevail above and below the Mekong’s descent from the Yunnan highlands divide it into two major parts. The upper Mekong flows 1,215 miles (1,955 km) through a long, narrow valley comprising roughly one-fourth of the total area, cutting through the mountains and plateaus of southwestern China. The lower Mekong, below the point where it forms the border between Myanmar and Laos, is a stream 1,485 miles (2,390 km) in length draining the Khorat Plateau of northeastern Thailand, the western slopes of the Annamese Cordillera in Laos and Vietnam, and most of Cambodia, before reaching the sea through the distributary channels of its delta in southern Vietnam. Similar Topics Godavari River In its upper reaches, the Mekong rises in the Tibetan Plateau between the Salween and Yangtze rivers; the streambed has cut deeply into the rugged landscape through which it flows. Along its course between Myanmar and Laos, the Mekong drains about 8,000 square miles (21,000 square km) of territory in Myanmar, comprising rough and relatively inaccessible terrain. In its more gentle lower stretches, where for a considerable distance it constitutes the boundary between Laos and Thailand, the Mekong inspires both conflict and cooperation among Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Physiography The sources of the Mekong, including its principal headstream, the Za Qu River, rise at an elevation of more than 16,000 feet (4,900 metres) on the north slope of the Tanggula Mountains in Qinghai province. They flow southeast through the Qamdo (Chamdo) region of Tibet, where the Za Qu joins other headstreams to form the main stream, called the Lancang in Chinese. It descends south across the highlands of Yunnan, through which it carves a deep valley, to a point south of Jinghong , where it briefly marks the border between Myanmar and China. The river then bends southwest; over a reach of more than 125 miles (200 km) it forms the Myanmarese-Laotian border. Although two great roads cross it—the caravan route from the southeast to Lhasa and the road from Kunming to Myanmar—much of the river valley in the highlands of Tibet and Yunnan is remote and sparsely populated. Below Myanmar, the river basin may be divided into six major sections on the basis of landforms, vegetation, and soils: the northern hi

Seven boats. Assessing the performance of ancient boats by Maritime Archaeology Programme, University of Southern Denmark - issuu issuu SEVEN BOATS Assessing the performance of ancient boats Bo Ejstrud Alexander Cattrysse Massimiliano Ditta Dan Nicolescu Dimitra Perissiou Stephanie Said Moriah Sherman Edited by Bo Ejstrud Maritime Archaeology Programme, University of Southern Denmark Esbjerg 2012 Bo Ejstrud, Alexander Cattrysse, Massimiliano Ditta, Dan Nicolescu, Dimitra Perissiou, Stephanie Said & Moriah Sherman: Seven Boats. Assessing the performance of ancient boats. Maritime Archaeology Programme University of Southern Denmark www.sdu.dk/maritimearchaeology ÂŠ The authors Edited by Bo Ejstrud Print: Print & Sign, University of Southern Denmark ISBN: 978-87-992214-7-9 Published by: Maritime Archaeology Programme University of Southern Denmark Niels Bohrs Vej 9-10 DK-6700 Esbjerg Denmark Printed in Denmark 2012 FOREWORD The following is the product of one of the two ‘Special Topics’ classes taught during the spring of 2012 in Maritime Archaeology at the University of Southern Denmark. The theme of the work is the application of techniques from naval architecture on ancient boats. We originally had entirely different plans for the topic of this class. But plans can change, and sometimes fast, and due to circumstances outside our control, this topic had to be developed with a few days’ notice just before semester start. The title of the topic became “Understanding boats”. In fact the broad ideas were already there, as this years’ work follows on our previous work on the Vaaler Moor logboat (Ejstrud & Maarleveld (eds.) 2012). Still some improvisation was necessary, and the students of this class must generally be commended for having made a real effort in realising the project, contributing much to its realization. This was new ground to everyone, and with a rather comprehensive programme for the project, the students did the work with only limited training in the software - or in model building. In the light of this, much was actually accomplished in understanding these boats. With seven authors and seven boats, the setup has naturally been that each author was responsible for describing and analysing one boat. Even so, it is an editorial choice not to put author names on the individual chapters. Firstly because there are common chapters to which all have contributed, and this will be the situation in most of the projects we do with the students. Secondly because it is a deliberate part of the brief of the Special Topics classes that the product is a collective effort and that all authors are responsible for the entire project. The idea of the lone archaeologist researching the finds is still prevalent; in fact it is common across the humanities. But a collective effort may be a more effective way of advancing research, especially in the work functions that most of our students will enter after studying. Few ivory towers are left standing anywhere. The seven authors of this book also represent seven countries, and almost as many different traditions of archaeological practice. Even after running this programme for several years it is still an eye-opener and a challenge to your every professional preconception to work in an environment like ours. The chronological and spatial diversity of the boats presented here may also be a reflection of the wide scope of our student’s interests. Esbjerg, 21 November 2012 Bo Ejstrud i CONTENT 1.

Which oart of the body can be described as true, false or floating?

The Ribs - The Human Skeletal System The Human Skeletal System References The Ribs The ribs are flat, thin bones that, together with  the sternum , make up the ribcage. The ribs provide protection for vital organs in the upper body, including the heart and lungs.  The ribs also help to protect major vessels in the upper body.  There are twelve pairs of ribs, accounting for 24 total rib bones.  The ribs are divided into the following three categories:  true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs.  The primary differences are size, and how they connect to the front of the skeleton.  Below is a more detailed description of the three categories. True Ribs The first seven pairs of rib bones (beginning at the top of the sternum ) are called "true ribs."  They connect to the spine (by ligaments) at the back, and connect to the sternum  by costal cartilage in the front.  Costal cartilage is elastic and allows the ribcage to expand during respiration. False Ribs The next three pairs of rib bones (8, 9 and 10) are called "false ribs."  Like the true ribs, false ribs are connected to the spine at the back.  The primary difference in true ribs and false ribs comes in where the false ribs connect at the front.  Instead of connecting to the sternum , false ribs (which are also slightly shorter than true ribs) actually connect to the lowest true ribs (this may be observed in the picture, above). Floating Ribs The last two pairs of ribs (11 and 12) are the smallest of all of the rib bones, and are called "floating ribs."  They get the name "floating rib" because they are connected to the spin at the back, but are not connected to anything at the front, thus appearing to "float." In addition to protecting vital organs, such as the heart and lungs, the ribs serve other important purposes in the human body.  The ribs give shape and support to the chest.  They protect parts of other organs, including the stomach, spleen and kidneys.  The ribs also help humans to breathe.  The cartilage that connects the true ribs to the sternum allows the chest to expand when you inhale and the lungs fill with air.  The rigidity and mass of the rib bones then help to contract the lungs and expel air when you exhale.

Which sauce is traditionally served with roast lamb?

Roast lamb with mint sauce | Good Food Channel > Roast lamb with mint sauce Roast lamb with mint sauce Buy your lamb from a quality butcher for a really succulent and tender result - try your hand at Roopa Gulati's roast - too good to save just for Sunday lunches By Roopa Gulati 1 x 2 kg leg of lamb 2 cloves garlic, shredded 1 small handful mint leaves 1-2 tbsp sugar 4-5 tbsp white wine vinegar For the gravy 1 small onion, finely sliced 100 ml red wine freshly ground salt and black pepper Method 1. Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 8 2. Place the lamb on a chopping board and make incisions over the joint with a sharp knife. Insert slivers of garlic into the cuts. 3. Heat the dripping in a roasting tin in the oven until smoking hot. Place the lamb in the tin and roast for 30 minutes. 4. Turn the heat down to 170C/gas 3 and continue roasting for about 1 hour 20 minutes. Pierce the meat with a skewer to test if it's done. If the juices run a pale pink, it's ready. While the lamb is roasting, make the mint sauce. 5. For the mint sauce, finely chop the mint leaves along with a teaspoon of the measured sugar - this helps fix the colour. Place the chopped mint in a heatproof jug and pour over the boiling water. Stir in the remaining sugar, and sharpen with enough vinegar to give a pleasant tang, 6. Take the lamb out of the oven and remove from the roasting tin. Leave to stand for about 15 minutes on a chopping board while you make the gravy. This standing time gives the meat time to relax and develop its flavour. 7. For the gravy, pour off any extra oil from the roasting tin, leaving back a tablespoon or so in the tin. Place the roasting tin over a low heat, add the onions, and cook until softened. If it looks like catching on the bottom of the tin, add a dash of red wine and scrape well with a metal spoon to lift up any meaty sediment - this has the most flavour and adds a rich flavour to the finished gravy. 8. Once the onions are soft, pour in the remainder of the wine and add the stock and redcurrant jelly. Bring to a boil over a medium heat and cook down until reduced by one third. 9. Mix the cornflour with 1 tablespoon of water until it resembles a smooth paste. Add a ladleful of the hot gravy into the cornflour mixture and stir to mix before returning to the pan. Stir, over a moderate heat, until the gravy has thickened. Taste for seasoning and keep warm until ready to serve. 10. Carve the lamb into medium-thick slices using a sharp knife, and serve with the gravy and mint sauce. Accompany with roast potatoes and a green vegetable such as fresh peas. Rate This Recipe


Which English author, who died in 1998, published Katie Hannigan in 1950 and The Bill Bailey Trilogy between 1986 and 1997?

Catherine Cookson : definition of Catherine Cookson and synonyms of Catherine Cookson (English) 12 External links   Early life Born as Catherine Ann McMullen at 5 Leam Lane in Tyne Dock , South Shields , County Durham , she was known as "Kate" as a child. She moved to East Jarrow , County Durham which would become the setting for one of her best-known novels, The Fifteen Streets. The illegitimate child of an alcoholic named Kate Fawcett, she grew up thinking her unmarried mother was her sister, as she was brought up by her grandparents, Rose and John McMullen. Biographer Kathleen Jones tracked down her father, whose name was Alexander Davies, a bigamist and gambler from Lancashire .[ citation needed ] She left school at 13 and, after a period of domestic service, took a laundry job at Harton Workhouse in South Shields . In 1929, she moved south to run the laundry at Hastings Workhouse, saving every penny to buy a large Victorian house, and then taking in lodgers to supplement her income. In June 1940, at the age of 34, she married Tom Cookson, a teacher at Hastings Grammar School . After experiencing four miscarriages late in pregnancy, it was discovered she was suffering from a rare vascular disease, telangiectasia , which causes bleeding from the nose, fingers and stomach and results in anemia . A mental breakdown followed the miscarriages, from which it took her a decade to recover.   Writing career She took up writing as a form of therapy to tackle her depression , and joined Hastings Writers' Group . Her first novel, Kate Hannigan, was published in 1950. Though it was labelled a romance , she expressed discontent with the stereotype. Her books were, she said, historical novels about people and conditions she knew. Cookson had little connection with the London literary circus. She was always more interested in practising the art of writing. Her research could be uncomfortable — going down a mine , for instance, because her heroine came from a mining area. Having in her youth wanted to write about 'above stairs' in grand houses, she later and successfully concentrated on people ground down by circumstances, taking care to know them well. Cookson wrote almost 100 books, which sold more than 123 million copies, her novels being translated into at least 20 languages. She also wrote books under the pseudonyms Catherine Marchant and a name derived from her childhood name, Katie McMullen. She remained the most borrowed author from public libraries in the UK for 17 years, losing the title only in 2002, four years after her death. [1]   Books in film and television Many of Cookson's novels have been transferred to stage, film and radio. The first film from her work was Jacqueline (1956) Directed by Roy Ward Baker , based on her book A Grand Man. [2] It was followed by Rooney (1958), directed by George Pollock , based on her book Rooney. Both starred John Gregson . For commercial reasons, the action of both films was transferred from South Shields to Ireland. [3] It was on television, however, that she achieved her greatest media success, with a series of dramas on ITV lasting over a decade and achieving huge ratings. Eighteen books were adapted for television between 1990 and 2001. They were all produced by Ray Marshall from Festival Film & TV who was given permission by Cookson in 1988 to bring her works to the screen. The first film to be made, The Fifteen Streets [4] starring Sean Bean & Owen Teale , was nominated for an Emmy award in 1990. The second production, The Black Velvet Gown , [5] won an International Emmy for Best Drama in 1991. The mini series regularly attracted audiences over 10 million and are still showing in the UK on the Yesterday Channel.   Philanthropy Although she became a multi-millionaire from her books, Cookson was frugal with her spending. She did, however, indulge in discreet philanthropy , supporting causes in North East England and medical research in areas that were close to her heart. When public lending rights were introduced for authors, she became immediately eligible for the maximum £5,000


What is the correct title of the Simon and Garfunkel song that is often called Feelin' Groovy?

The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) by Simon & Garfunkel Songfacts Songfacts The 59th Street bridge (officially the Queensboro Bridge), goes over the East River in New York City, connecting Queens to Manhattan. Simon & Garfunkel are from New York, which has a very hectic pace. In this song they remind us to slow down and appreciate the simple pleasures in life, like cobblestones and flowers. When he performed at Tufts University in 1966, Simon said of this song: "I spent most of the year 1965 living in England, and at the end of that year in December, I came back to the United States, ' The Sound Of Silence ' had become a big hit, and I had to make this adjustment from being relatively unknown in England to being semi-famous here, and I didn't really swing with it. It was a very difficult scene to make, and I was writing very depressed-type songs until around June of last year. I started to swing out of it, I was getting into a good mood, and I remember coming home in the morning about 6 o'clock over the 59th Street Bridge in New York, and it was such a groovy day really, a good one, and it was one of those times when you know you won't be tired for about an hour, a sort of a good hanging time, so I started to write a song that later became the 59th Street Bridge Song or Feelin' Groovy." The Queensboro Bridge is notoriously noisy and mechanical. You walk on metal graters that vibrate as the traffic zooms by, creating a dangerous and exciting sensation. This could be the background for "Slow down, you move too fast..." Despite being one of Simon & Garfunkel's best-known songs, this was never a hit for them. However in 1967 a more Pop-oriented version by Harpers Bizarre with higher vocals peaked at #13 in the US & #34 in the UK. This is one of the first uses of the word "Groovy" in a popular song. It gave the songwriters Carole Bayer Sager and Toni Wine inspiration for the first "Groovy" hit: " A Groovy Kind Of Love ." Two members of the Dave Brubeck Quartet played on this track: bassist Gene Wright and drummer Joe Morello.

Painted in 1905, the painting Garcon a la Pipe was a famous painting by which famous artist who died in 1973?

garcon a la pipe : definition of garcon a la pipe and synonyms of garcon a la pipe (English)   The painting   Preparation Early preparations of this work involved positioning the boy in all types of poses that involved standing, sitting or leaning against the wall. [1] After much repositioning of the model, Picasso decided to go with the boy sitting down. Next was how to position the arm, where much time was also spent on the height and angle. Early works do not show any objects other than a pipe being used. Although Picasso started to paint this picture, he gave it a rest period for about a month. During this time, Picasso decided to finish it off by placing a garland of flowers on the boy's head. [1]   The boy Le Bateau-Lavoir in Montmartre is where Picasso was living when he painted the picture. Some of the local people made a living in the entertainment industry, such as being clowns or acrobats. Picasso used many local people in his pictures, but little is known about the boy in the picture. What appears to be fact from comments made from a variety of sources is that the boy was a model in his teen years who hung around Picasso's studio and volunteered to pose for the oil work. [2] Picasso's own comments about the boy were that he was one of the: “ local types, actors, ladies, gentlemen, delinquents... He stayed there, sometimes the whole day. He watched me work. He loved that. ” From this comment, suppositions can be made. The first is that Picasso did not want people to know who the boy is, and the second is Picasso did not really know the boy. However, many reports have been made that say the boy is “p’tit Louis”, [1] [3] or "Little Louis". [4]   Provenance The painting was first bought by John Hay Whitney in 1950 for US$ 30,000. [5] [6] On May 5, 2004 the painting was sold for US$ 104,168,000 at Sotheby's auction in New York City . Sotheby’s did not name the buyer [6] though sources say that it was Guido Barilla , owner of the Barilla Group . [7] At the time, it broke the record for the amount paid for an auctioned painting (when inflation is ignored). The amount, US$ 104 million, includes the auction price of US$ 93 million plus the auction house’s commission of about US$ 11 million. [6] The painting was given a pre-sale estimate of US$ 70 million by the auction house. [5] [6] Many art critics have stated that the painting's high sale price has much more to do with the artist's name than with the merit or historical importance of the painting. The Washington Post 's article [8] [9] on the sale contained the following characterisation of the reaction: “ Picasso expert Pepe Karmel, reached in New York the morning after the sale, was waxing wroth about the whole affair. "I'm stunned," he said, "that a pleasant, minor painting could command a price appropriate to a real masterwork by Picasso. This just shows how much the marketplace is divorced from the true values of art." ”

Last updated: Abkhazia Afghanistan three equal vertical bands of black (hoist side), red, and green, with the national emblem in white centered on the red band and slightly overlapping the other two bands; the center of the emblem features a mosque with pulpit and flags on either side, below the mosque are numerals for the solar year 1298 (1919 in the Gregorian calendar, the year of Afghan independence from the UK); this central image is circled by a border consisting of sheaves of wheat on the left and right, in the upper-center is an Arabic inscription of the Shahada (Muslim creed) below which are rays of the rising sun over the Takbir (Arabic expression meaning "God is great"), and at bottom center is a scroll bearing the name Afghanistan; black signifies the past, red is for the blood shed for independence, and green can represent either hope for the future, agricultural prosperity, or Islam note: Afghanistan had more changes to its national flag in the 20th century than any other country; the colors black, red, and green appeared on most of them Akrotiri the flag of the UK is used Albania red with a black two-headed eagle in the center; the design is claimed to be that of 15th-century hero George Castriota SKANDERBERG, who led a successful uprising against the Turks that resulted in a short-lived independence for some Albanian regions (1443-1478); an unsubstantiated explanation for the eagle symbol is the tradition that Albanians see themselves as descendants of the eagle; they refer to themselves as "Shkypetars," which translates as "sons of the eagle" Algeria two equal vertical bands of green (hoist side) and white; a red, five-pointed star within a red crescent centered over the two-color boundary; the colors represent Islam (green), purity and peace (white), and liberty (red); the crescent and star are also Islamic symbols, but the crescent is more closed than those of other Muslim countries because the Algerians believe the long crescent horns bring happiness American Samoa blue, with a white triangle edged in red that is based on the fly side and extends to the hoist side; a brown and white American bald eagle flying toward the hoist side is carrying two traditional Samoan symbols of authority, a war club known as a "Fa'alaufa'i" (upper; left talon), and a coconut fiber fly whisk known as a "Fue" (lower; right talon); the combination of symbols broadly mimics that seen on the US Great Seal and reflects the relationship between the United States and American Samoa Andorra three vertical bands of blue (hoist side), yellow, and red, with the national coat of arms centered in the yellow band; the latter band is slightly wider than the other two so that the ratio of band widths is 8:9:8; the coat of arms features a quartered shield with the emblems of (starting in the upper left and proceeding clockwise): Urgell, Foix, Bearn, and Catalonia; the motto reads VIRTUS UNITA FORTIOR (Strength United is Stronger); the flag combines the blue and red French colors with the red and yellow of Spain to show Franco-Spanish protection note: similar to the flags of Chad and Romania, which do not have a national coat of arms in the center, and the flag of Moldova, which does bear a national emblem Angola two equal horizontal bands of red (top) and black with a centered yellow emblem consisting of a five-pointed star within half a cogwheel crossed by a machete (in the style of a hammer and sickle); red represents liberty, black the African continent, the symbols characterize workers and peasants Anguilla blue, with the flag of the UK in the upper hoist-side quadrant and the


Which James Bond film featured the main female villain called Irma Bunt?

Top Ten James Bond Villains Top Ten James Bond Villains November 15, 2015 Published in Movie Buffs Our month-long focus on James Bond continues with a look at the ten best Bond screen villains. Check it out!   A good Bond villain does not always make for a great Bond film, but it doesn’t hurt. It’s common knowledge that a film with good conflict will be more engaging to watch, and the conflict between the protagonist and antagonist is the driving factor of the James Bond franchise. Therefore, along with one of the most well-known and legendary protagonists of all time, the franchise is also home to some of the most well-known and legendary antagonists as well. This is a list that honors the best antagonists in the Bond franchise. They’re the ones that are the most creative, memorable, or relentless, all characteristics which help make their respected films that much better. They’re the ones that left the biggest impact on audiences and the franchise as a whole.  ***SPOILER ALERT*** - WARNING: PLOT DETAILS AND TWISTS ARE DISCUSSED BELOW.   For this list, we’re looking at the main villains only. Henchmen play a big part in many Bond films, but they are ultimately at the command and whim of the main baddies.   10. Elektra King Film(s): The World is Not Enough Origin: Assassinated her father to take over his oil business Defining Feature: Missing earlobe.  Evil Plan(s): Collaborates with terrorists to blow up the competition’s facilities in order to create an oil monopoly.  Most Elaborate Scheme to Kill Bond: Sends a dummy bomb through her father’s pipeline to lure Bond away from M and kill him. Method of Defeat: Bullet to the heart - Thanks to the dying heroics of Valentine Zukovsky, Bond busts out of Elektra’s torture chair and shoots and kills her.  Most Famous Henchman: Renard - KGB-turned-terrorist with bullet lodged in his brain, making him unable to feel pain.  Not only is Elektra a woman (one of only TWO main villains in the entire franchise), but she’s also a Bond girl. Those two things make her character unique, interesting, and exciting. Being a Bond girl is an interesting twist because not only is it somewhat unexpected, but it adds dimension to a typically one-sided role. As a woman, she also plays off of the stereotypes associated with traditional roles for women in the franchise. The film starts with her being the typical damsel in distress, Bond has to look after her. Later though, it twists around and Bond and MI6 becomes the victim. It shows that women can have much more of an important role than the writers had previously been giving them. Elektra may not be as memorable or legendary as some of the other villains on this list, but her character is just as effective, if not more so, and she really elevates her film.   9. Emilio Largo Films(s): Thunderball Origin: Benefactor of a multi-million dollar family fortune and a successful black market profiteer, he is a member of SPECTRE, known as “No. 2”.  Defining Feature: Eye patch.  Evil Plan(s): Steal nuclear warheads and then force governments to pay him money in order to have them safely returned.   Most Elaborate Scheme to Kill Bond: Traps him in his shark-infested pool.  Method of Defeat: Harpoon through the abdomen - Shot by his mistress in the back while he was in a fight with Bond.  Most Famous Henchman: Fiona Volpe - Fast-driving SPECTRE operative and assassin who helps to organize Largo’s plan and prevent it from being foiled.  When we think of James Bond villains, we think of well-dressed rich guys with elaborate plans of world-domination. Largo fits this description well, with the addition of an eye-patch for extra intimidation. While many Bond villains would follow the formula used for Largo, including a few on this list, he was the first one. He also introduced an important technique used in almost every other Bond film - the complicated attempt at Bond’s death. Instead of just shooting Bond, Largo traps him in a shark tank. Bond escapes, of course, but the idea of putting your hero in a complex life-or-death situation is actually good for the mov

The size of a small dog, it became the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world following the extinction of the thylacine in 1936. It is characterised by its stocky and muscular build, black fur, pungent odour, extremely loud and disturbing screech, keen sense of smell, and ferocity when feeding. The Tasmanian devil's large head and neck allow it to generate amongst the strongest bite per unit body mass of any extant mammal land predator, and it hunts prey and scavenges carrion as well as eating household products if humans are living nearby. Although it usually is solitary, it sometimes eats with other devils and defecates in a communal location. Unlike most other dasyurids, the devil thermoregulates effectively and is active during the middle of the day without overheating. Despite its rotund appearance, the devil is capable of surprising speed and endurance, and can climb trees and swim across rivers. It is believed that ancient marsupials migrated from what is now South America to Australia tens of millions of years ago during the time of Gondwana, and that they evolved as Australia became more arid.
