The original motto of which organisation was ‘Amidst War, Charity’?

Daughters in My Kingdom: The History and Work of Relief Society “Charity Never Faileth” Moroni 7:45 When Sister Emmeline B. Wells was called in 1910 to serve as the fifth Relief Society general president, she was prepared for the responsibility. As a participant in the migration to the Salt Lake Valley, she had worked side by side with sisters who had abiding testimonies of the gospel of Jesus Christ and who understood the foundational principles of Relief Society. She had served as secretary to two general Relief Society presidents, Zina D. H. Young and Bathsheba W. Smith, from 1888 to 1910. With a testimony that the Relief Society had been organized by revelation, Sister Wells and her counselors, Clarissa S. Williams and Julina L. Smith, were committed to preserving the principles upon which the society had been founded. In October 1913 they said: “We do declare it our purpose to keep intact the original name and initial spirit and purpose of this great organization, holding fast to the inspired teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith when he revealed the plan by which women were to be empowered through the calling of the priesthood to be grouped into suitable organizations for the purpose of ministering to the sick, assisting the needy, comforting the aged, warning the unwary, and succoring the orphans.” 1 A few months earlier, this sense of purpose had led Sister Wells and her counselors to establish a motto that would become a constant reminder of the organization’s founding principles and inspired origins. They chose a scriptural declaration: “Charity never faileth.” 2 These three words embraced the charge that the Prophet Joseph Smith had given the Relief Society sisters: to “relieve the poor” and to “save souls.” 3 In the past, pioneer women had practiced charity for close neighbors. Now Relief Society sisters would organize themselves to extend charity, “the pure love of Christ,” 4 to worldwide neighbors as well. Sister Wells and her counselors established this motto in a time of relative peace and prosperity. Little did they know how events in the coming years would put their motto to the test. Emmeline B. Wells Fifth Relief Society General President “It is [my] strongest desire that our young women of today be made to comprehend the work of the early members who, without the facilities of the present time, comforted the sad and distressed, visited the widow and fatherless, and were like ministering angels.” Relief Society Bulletin, May 1914, 3 Detail from Emmeline B. Wells, by Lee Greene Richards. Courtesy Church History Museum. Living Peaceably in a Time of War “Our feelings toward the world of mankind, generally, ought to be the same as Jesus manifested to them. He sought to promote their welfare, and our motto ought ever to be the same as His was—‘peace on earth and good will to men.’” John Taylor Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor (2001), 27; referring to Luke 2:14 War broke out in Europe in 1914. By the time the war ended in November 1918, many nations had joined the conflict, which came to be known as World War I. During this period, when bitterness and intolerance could have threatened the charitable feelings expected from Relief Society sisters, Sister Emmeline B. Wells and her counselors issued the following message to all women in the Church: “Administer in the spirit of love and patience to your husbands and to your children; guard the little ones; do not permit them to imbibe the spirit of intolerance or hatred to any nation or to any people; keep firearms out of their hands; do not allow them to play at war nor to find amusement in imitating death in battle; inculcate the spirit of loyalty to country and flag, but help them to feel that they are soldiers of the Cross and that if they must needs take up arms in the defense of liberty, of country and homes they shall do so without rancor or bitterness. … Teach the peaceable things of the kingdom [and] look after the needy more diligently than ever.” 5 In sending this message, Sister Wells urged sisters to put charity into action, just

Which ancient European period came before the Iron Age?

Iron Age - Ancient History, Civilizations World Map / World Ancient History / Iron Age Iron Age Iron Age is the period marked by the use of iron implements, tools, and weapons. Archeologists consider the Iron Age the period that immediately follows the Bronze Age. The Iron Age is the third era in archeologist Christian Anderson's three-age system. The advent of the Iron Age in Mesopotamia is dated around 1300 BC. As the use of iron spread to other parts of the world, the Iron Age started to dawn in other parts of the world. In India and Europe, for example, the start of the Iron Age is dated around 1200 BC while in parts of China it is believed to have started in 600 BC and in Japan as late as 100 BC. Iron Age Civilizations: The civilizations of the Near East were the earliest to reap the benefits of Iron Age. The development of Archaic Greece with the fall of the Bronze Age Mycenaean Civilization was an era of renewal in Greece. The Greek city-states, the polis were rebuilt and Athens, Sparta, Thebes, Corinth, and Halicarnassus were among the mightiest polis. Urbanization took on new dimensions with the construction of these cities. The Phoenician alphabet was adopted and the Mycenaean history was transformed into myths and legends for the generations to come. In Iran Zoroastrianism took roots during the Iron Ages. Zarathustra preached the influential doctrine amidst much political chaos. In India Iron Age lasted from about 1200 BC till around 26 BC. The earliest kingdoms of the subcontinent, the Mahajanapadas were culturally advanced societies. Then developed the Maurya and the Satavahana Empires in northern and central India and the Chola and Pandya Empires in the south. A high sense of cultural refinement marked the era. Art, architecture and literature flourished. In China the Chou Dynasty lost its power and might in the Iron Age. The smaller, fragmented kingdoms formed as a consequence entered an era of internal conflict and strife till the emergence of the mighty Ch'in Dynasty. The emperors of the Ch'in Dynasty took up territorial expansion and promotion of Chinese culture including philosophy and literature. Iron and Metal Works: The discovery of iron dates back to about 2000 BC. Iron artifacts dating back to the fifth millennium BC have been found in Iran by the archeologists. The earliest iron artifacts of Asia are those dating back to the third millennium BC. These were found in China. By the Middle Ages the use of wrought iron in manufacture of armors and armaments was a common practice. Its versatility and ease of procurement made iron a revolutionary metal. The easy availability of coal for the manufacture of iron and the strength of the metal itself made it very popular. By the time steel was manufactured, the use of iron was already a common feature of most world civilizations. Iron Age Literature: Language and literature saw a great deal of evolution in the Iron Age. The Bronze Age had seen the development of the earliest alphabets such as the Cuneiform and the Hieroglyphic scripts, the end of the Bronze Age and the early Iron Age saw texts such as the Vedas being written. The Iron Age saw a spurt in the growth of Chinese and Indian literature. Vedic literature such as the Vedanta and Upanishads were written; the Hebrew Bible is also a product of this age. Language grew ore complex and poetry grew in clout. Historic records started to be maintained. Language reflected the growing complexity of the cultural dimensions of the Iron Age civilizations.


What is the name of a person who forges and shapes iron with an anvil and hammer?

Blacksmiths Glossary Blacksmiths Glossary Compiled by Tom Cloud for Ann Spiro Add your information using the Contribution form . Definition Alloy Two metals mixed together to achieve a unique characteristic (different from a compound where two chemicals combine to form a different substance). A metal alloy combines metals to obtain characteristics slightly different from the components used. Some metals are "elemental" meaning they are a unique chemical element found on the periodic table of elements. Seven of these -- gold, copper, silver, lead, tin, iron, and mercury -- were used by early metallurgists. Brass, bronze and steel are examples of alloys of those elemental metals. Anglesmith A person who bends or joins metal to form angular shapes. Annealing Heating a metal to remove stresses or hardening, usually to a temperature just below the metal's melting point. Anvil A heavy metal working piece on which metal objects are hammered or forged. In ancient times anvils were made of stone. Anvilsmith Maker of anvils and hammers for blacksmiths. Arbor Press A hand-operated press used for small tasks, e.g. pressing pins into holes or riveting, staking, etc. Armorer A person who makes or repairs armor or weapons. Auger Maker Maker of carpenters' augers (drill bits). Axle Maker Maker of axles for wagons and coaches. Bellfounder A person who made bells in a foundry. Bellows Maker A person who made bellows used to keep smiths' furnace fires at the proper temperature. Bessemer Process The first inexpensive industrial process for the mass production of steel from molten pig iron, patented in 1855 by Henry Bessemer. It featured the removal of impurities from the iron by oxidizing them with air blown through the molten iron. Blacksmith A person who creates objects from metal (typically iron or steel) by forging the metal using heat, hammers and specialized tools. The name comes from the Teutonic word "smeithan" meaning to forge and from the black color of the heated iron, so it means black metal forger. Blacksmith's Apprentice A person who assisted the blacksmith in his job, working with iron using a furnace, anvil, and hammer. Blacksmith's Striker A person who assisted the blacksmith in his job, working with iron using a furnace, anvil, and hammer. Bladesmith A person who worked with blades to create tools such as swords or knives. Blanking A machine press operation whereby a piece of metal is punched out of a larger workpiece. The resulting piece of metal is called a "blank" and often was shaped as a circle or square or or other shape. Blast Furnace A high temperature furnace used to smelt metals from their ore. It differs from typical smelters or furnaces in that air (oxygen) is forced into the bottom of the furnace which raises the combustion temperature of the fuel and creates a reaction with the iron. Blast furnaces are found in China dating to the 1st century BC. The Catalan forge was a predecessor to the blast furnace in Europe. Boiler A closed container in which water is heated to steam, often to power a machine e.g. a locomotive or ship. Boiler Maker A person who makes boilers. Brake A type of press used to bend sheet metal. Brass An alloy of copper and zinc and often other metals. Brass Cutter A person who engraves copper plate. Brass Dresser A person who made finished or dressed brass. Brass Finisher A person who worked in a foundry to remove burs and marks from brass objects using sanding, polishing or buffing techniques. Brass Founder A person who cast brass, melting it down and making items from moulds such as bells, harnesses, coach fittings and buckles. It would have involved working with extreme heat, often giving a permanent color to the founder's face. In addition there was the extreme hazard of dealing with molten brass on a daily basis, not to mention lifting heavy metal objects. Brass Knob Maker A person who casts brass to make door knobs. Brass Pole Maker A person who made brass poles. Brazier A person who made or repaired brass items. Brazing A form of high temperature soldering using special alloys of brass


What is the name of the unofficial accolade given to passenger liners crossing the Atlantic Ocean in regular service with the record highest speed?

What does blue riband mean? This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word blue riband Wiktionary(0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Blue Riband(ProperNoun) A trophy for the fastest sea crossing of the Atlantic by a liner. Freebase(0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Blue Riband The Blue Riband is an unofficial accolade given to the passenger liner crossing the Atlantic Ocean in regular service with the record highest speed. The term was borrowed from horse racing and was not widely used until after 1910. Under the unwritten rules, the record is based on average speed rather than passage time because ships follow different routes. Traditionally, a ship is considered a “record breaker” if it wins the eastbound speed record, but is not credited with the Blue Riband unless it wins the more difficult westbound record against the Gulf Stream. Of the 35 Atlantic liners to hold the Blue Riband, 25 were British, followed by five German, three American, as well as one each from Italy and France. 13 were Cunarders, 5 by White Star, with 4 owned by Norddeutscher Lloyd, 2 by Collins, 2 by Inman and 2 by Guion, and one each by British American, Great Western, Hamburg-America, the Italian Line, Compagnie Générale Transatlantique and finally the United States Lines. Many of these ships were built with substantial government subsidies and were designed with military considerations in mind. Winston Churchill estimated that the two Cunard Queens helped shorten the Second World War by a year. The last Atlantic liner to hold the Blue Riband, the United States was designed for her potential use as a troopship as well as her service as a commercial passenger liner. Numerology The numerical value of blue riband in Chaldean Numerology is: 4 Pythagorean Numerology

How old was playwright William Shakespeare when he died?

The Life of William Shakespeare (1564–1616) | Shakespeare in American Communities Home › Educational Resources › The Life of William Shakespeare › The Life of William Shakespeare (1564–1616) Within the class system of Elizabethan England, William Shakespeare did not seem destined for greatness. He was not born into a family of nobility or significant wealth. He did not continue his formal education at university, nor did he come under the mentorship of a senior artist, nor did he marry into wealth or prestige. His talent as an actor seems to have been modest, since he is not known for starring roles. His success as a playwright depended in part upon royal patronage. Yet in spite of these limitations, Shakespeare is now the most performed and read playwright in the world. Born to John Shakespeare, a glovemaker and tradesman, and Mary Arden, the daughter of an affluent farmer, William Shakespeare was baptized on April 26, 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon. At that time, infants were baptized three days after their birth, thus scholars believe that Shakespeare was born on April 23, the same day on which he died at age 52. As the third of eight children, young William grew up in this small town 100 miles northwest of London, far from the cultural and courtly center of England. Shakespeare attended the local grammar school, King's New School, where the curriculum would have stressed a classical education of Greek mythology, Roman comedy, ancient history, rhetoric, grammar, Latin, and possibly Greek. Throughout his childhood, Shakespeare's father struggled with serious financial debt. Therefore, unlike his fellow playwright Christopher Marlowe, he did not attend university. Rather, in 1582 at age 18, he married Anne Hathaway, a woman eight years his senior and three months pregnant. Their first child, Susanna, was born in 1583, and twins, Hamnet and Judith, came in 1585. In the seven years following their birth, the historical record concerning Shakespeare is incomplete, contradictory, and unreliable; scholars refer to this period as his “lost years.” In a 1592 pamphlet by Robert Greene, Shakespeare reappears as an “upstart crow” flapping his poetic wings in London. Evidently, it did not take him long to land on the stage. Between 1590 and 1592, Shakespeare's Henry VI series, Richard III, and The Comedy of Errors were performed. When the theaters were closed in 1593 because of the plague, the playwright wrote two narrative poems, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece, and probably began writing his richly textured sonnets. One hundred and fiftyfour of his sonnets have survived, ensuring his reputation as a gifted poet. By 1594, he had also written, The Taming of the Shrew, The Two Gentlemen of Verona and Love's Labor's Lost. Having established himself as an actor and playwright, in 1594 Shakespeare became a shareholder in the Lord Chamberlain's Men, one of the most popular acting companies in London. He remained a member of this company for the rest of his career, often playing before the court of Queen Elizabeth I. Shakespeare entered one of his most prolific periods around 1595, writing Richard II, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and The Merchant of Venice. With his newfound success, Shakespeare purchased the second largest home in Stratford in 1597, though he continued to live in London. Two years later, he joined others from the Lord Chamberlain's Men in establishing the polygonal Globe Theatre on the outskirts of London. When King James came to the throne in 1603, he issued a royal license to Shakespeare and his fellow players, organizing them as the King's Men. During King James's reign, Shakespeare wrote many of his most accomplished plays about courtly power, including King Lear, Macbeth, and Antony and Cleopatra. In 1609 or 1611, Shakespeare's sonnets were published, though he did not live to see the First Folio of his plays published in 1623. In 1616, with his health declining, Shakespeare revised his will. Since his only son Hamnet had died in 1596, Shakespeare left the bulk of his estate to his two daugh


The ‘Heliocentric Model’ is a theory that places which object as the centre of the Universe?

What Is The Heliocentric Model Of The Universe? - Universe Today   Universe Today What Is The Heliocentric Model Of The Universe? Article Updated: 7 Nov , 2016 by Matt Williams The Scientific Revolution, which took place in the 16th and 17th centuries, was a time of unprecedented learning and discovery. During this period, the foundations of modern science were laid, thanks to breakthroughs in the fields of physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy. And when it comes to astronomy, the most influential scholar was definitely Nicolaus Copernicus , the man credited with the creation of the Heliocentric model of the Universe. Based on ongoing observations of the motions of the planets, as well as previous theories from classical antiquity and the Islamic World, Copernicus’ proposed a model of the Universe where the Earth, the planets and the stars all revolved around the Sun. In so doing, he resolved the mathematical problems and inconsistencies arising out of the classic geocentric model and laid the foundations for modern astronomy. While Copernicus was not the first to propose a model of the Solar System in which the Earth and planets revolved around the Sun, his model of a heliocentric universe was both novel and timely. For one, it came at a time when European astronomers were struggling to resolve the mathematical and observational problems that arose out of the then-accepted Ptolemaic model of the Universe, a geocentric model proposed in the 2nd century CE. In addition, Copernicus’ model was the first astronomical system that offered a complete and detailed account of how the Universe worked. Not only did his model resolves issues arising out of the Ptolemaic system, it offered a simplified view of the universe that did away with complicated mathematical devices that were needed for the geocentric model to work. And with time, the model gained influential proponents who contributed to it becoming the accepted convention of astronomy. An illustration of the Ptolemaic geocentric system by Portuguese cosmographer and cartographer Bartolomeu Velho, 1568. Credit: Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris The Ptolemaic (Geocentric) Model: The geocentric model, in which planet Earth is the center of the Universe and is circled by the Sun and all the planets, had been the accepted cosmological model since ancient times. By late antiquity, this model had come to be formalized by ancient Greek and Roman astronomers, such as Aristotle (384 – 322 BCE) – who’s theories on physics became the basis for the motion of the planets – and Ptolemy (ca. 100 – ca.?170 CE), who proposed the mathematical solutions. The geocentric model essentially came down to two common observations. First of all, to ancient astronomers, the stars, the Sun, and the planets appeared to revolve around the Earth on daily basis. Second, from the perspective of the Earth-bound observer, the Earth did not appear to move, making it a fixed point in space. The belief that the Earth was spherical, which became an accepted fact by the 3rd century BCE, was incorporated into this system. As such, by the time of Aristotle, the geocentric model of the universe became one where the Earth, Sun and all the planets were spheres, and where the Sun, planets and stars all moved in perfect circular motions. However, it was not until Egyptian-Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemaeus (aka. Ptolemy) released his treatise Almagest in the 2nd century BCE that the details became standardized. Drawing on centuries of astronomical traditions, ranging from Babylonian to modern times, Ptolemy argued that the Earth was in the center of the universe and the stars were all at a modest distance from the center of the universe.

Carl and Ellie eventually got married and grew old together in the restored house, working in a zoo as a balloon vendor and a zookeeper, respectively. Unable to have any children, they repeatedly pooled their savings for a trip to Paradise Falls, but always ended up spending it on more pressing needs. Just as Carl and Ellie, who were both senior citizens, finally seemed able to take their trip, Ellie contracted an illness and died of old age, leaving Carl by himself, becoming bitter and cranky and missing his wife terribly. As the years passed, the city grew around Carl's old house with construction as he refused to move. After a fight with a construction worker over his broken mailbox, the court orders Carl to move into the Shady Oaks Retirement Home. Carl comes up with a scheme to keep his promise to Ellie: he uses his old professional supplies to create a makeshift airship, using 10,000 helium balloons, which lifts his house off its foundations. Russell , a young Wilderness Explorer (a fictional scouting organization), becomes an accidental passenger in an effort to earn his final merit badge for assisting the elderly. After surviving a thunderstorm, the house lands near a ravine facing Paradise Falls. Carl and Russell harness themselves to the still-buoyant house and begin to walk it around the ravine, hoping to reach the falls before the balloons deflate. They later befriend a tall, colorful flightless bird whom Russell names " Kevin " who is trying to reach her chicks and a dog named Dug , who wears a special collar that allows him to speak. Carl and Russell encounter a pack of dogs led by Alpha and are taken to Dug's master, who turns out to be an elderly Charles Muntz. Muntz invites Carl and Russell aboard his dirigible, where he explains that he has spent the years since his disgrace searching Paradise Falls for the giant bird. When Russell innocuously notes the bird's similarity to Kevin, Muntz becomes hostile, prompting the pair to flee with Kevin and Dug. Muntz eventually catches up with them and starts a fire beneath Carl's house, forcing Carl to choose between saving it or Kevin. Carl rushes to put out the fire, allowing Muntz to take the bird. Carl and Russell eventually reach the falls, but Russell is angry with Carl over his decision to save his house instead of Kevin. Settling into his home, Carl looks through Ellie's childhood scrapbook, seeing that it actually has many more photos of their lives in it than he thought, and finds a note from Ellie thanking him for the "adventure" and encouraging him to go on a new one. Reinvigorated, he goes to find Russell, only to see him sailing off on some balloons to save Kevin. Carl empties the house of furniture and possessions and pursues him. Russell is captured by Muntz, but Carl manages to board the dirigible in flight and free both Russell and Kevin, having a fight with Muntz. Muntz pursues them around the airship, finally cornering Dug, Kevin, and Russell inside Carl's tethered house. Carl lures Kevin out through a window and back onto the airship with Dug and Russell clinging to her back, just as Muntz is about to close in. Muntz leaps after them, only to snag his foot on some balloon lines and fall to his death. Snapped from its tether, the house descends out of sight through the clouds, which Carl accepts as being for the best. Carl and Russell reunite Kevin with her chicks, then fly the dirigible back to the city. When Russell's father misses hi


Southern Indian Lake is in which country?

Indian Country Wisconsin - Great Lakes History: A General View Black Hawk Tens-qua-ta-wa The Great Lakes is a chain of inland lakes -- Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, and Lake Superior -- stretching from New York to Minnesota. Because they comprise such a large waterway, they have played a vital role in the lives and histories of Indian peoples who have resided along their shores for millennia. Most Indian groups living in the Great Lakes region for the last five centuries are of the Algonkian language family. This includes such present-day Wisconsin tribes as the Menominee, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi. Some tribes--such as the Stockbridge-Munsee and the Brothertown--are also Algonkian-speaking tribes who relocated from the eastern seaboard to the Great Lakes region in the nineteenth century. The Oneida who live near Green Bay belong to the Iroquois language group and the Ho-chunk of Wisconsin are one of the few Great Lakes tribes to speak a Siouan language. Although there have been many differences in language and customs between different Indian tribes, Great Lakes Indian communities have had many things in common. They comprise a general culture called "Woodland" after its adaptation to North America's northeastern and southeastern woodlands. Woodland Indian societies have depended to a large degree on forest products for their survival, and Great Lakes Indians hunted, fished, gathered wild foods, and practiced agriculture for their subsistence. In many parts of the Great Lakes -- particularly northern Wisconsin -- Indians depended on wild rice as a dietary staple, while Indians in areas without wild rice generally cultivated corn. Where sugar maples grow, Great Lakes Indians established sugar-making camps in early spring and made sugar from tree sap. Establishing Trade The exact date of initial European contact with the Great Lakes Indians is unknown. During the early 1500s, European ships and fishing crews off the coast of northeastern Canada often traded with Indians there. The first recorded contact between Europeans and the Great Lakes Indians occurred between 1534 and 1542 when Jacques Cartier of France explored the St. Lawrence River. His failure to find gold or silver reduced French interest in North America but, despite this, Samuel de Champlain established the city of Quebec and along with it the colony of New France in 1608. The French quickly developed a military and economic alliance with neighboring Algonkian tribes and the Iroquoian-speaking Huron near Lake Huron. Soon, the Dutch of New Netherland established a rival colony in present-day New York, and developed similar trade networks with the five Iroquois nations (the League of the Iroquois) in upstate New York. Later, when the English conquered New Netherland in 1664 and renamed it New York, the Iroquois transferred their loyalties to the English. In the 1640s, the Iroquois began a series of wars in the Great Lakes region mainly motivated by the rich fur-bearing lands of other Indian groups, completely wiping out some tribes, including the Erie, and scattering others such as the Huron from their original homelands. The wars between the Iroquois League and the French-allied tribes persisted until 1701, although there were long periods of relative peace during that time. These wars radically changed the human landscape of the Great Lakes region. Tribes in Michigan's southern peninsula -- the Potawatomi, Ojibwe, Sauk, Fox, and Ottawa -- were pushed farther west into Wisconsin during the 1600s. Some tribes that moved into Wisconsin because of the Iroquois wars, including the Huron, Miami, Sauk, Fox, Mascouten, and Kickapoo, left Wisconsin during the 1700s for new lands west of the Mississippi or other parts of the Midwest. Some refugees of the Iroquois wars, namely the Potawatomi and Ojibwe, stayed in Wisconsin. Introduction of Disease Indian people of the Great Lakes also suffered from European diseases, which often devastated their communities. Unlike Europeans, Indians did not have natural immunities to diseases such as smallpox, measle


In which year did colour television begin broadcasting across Australia?

40 years of colour TV » Television.AU 40 years of colour TV 7 October 2014 It was 40 years today that Australian TV (finally…!) began to colour our world. The wait for colour was a long one for Australia. The United States and Canada made the transition to colour from the mid-1960s, and the United Kingdom started the conversion to colour TV from 1967. Many European countries followed in 1968. Even New Zealand viewers were able to see Queen Elizabeth II open the Sydney Opera House in colour in October 1973. But for much of the 1960s and early 1970s, Australians were left with just speculation as to when colour TV might finally arrive. Some tentative steps were made in 1964 when ATV0, the channel that had just launched in Melbourne, had conducted some experimental colour transmissions prior to receiving permission from the broadcasting authorities. The tests consisted of a colour test pattern for durations of between five and fifteen minutes in the early hours of the morning on an almost daily basis for about three months. The channel was keen to experiment with colour, in particular because films and many imported shows from the US had started to be made in colour. The Australian Broadcasting Control Board (ABCB) then ruled that no further transmissions were to take place pending the formation of standards for colour television in Australia. ATV0 and the ABCB did eventually agree on a trial of colour television. In June 1967 the station covered a country horse racing event in colour — making it the first “live” colour program on Australian TV. The colour broadcast was not transmitted to the public but was able to be viewed on closed circuit monitors located at the ATV0 studios in Nunawading. Station executives, government representatives and members of the press were invited to view the colour pictures. TV Times reporter Fred Robertson was impressed: “It did not take long to realise the impact that colour television is going to have on Australia when it is introduced. People will return to the old routine of watching everything and anything that the channels put on the screen.” Some TV executives were making bold predictions that Australian TV would be in colour by 1 January 1970. Even the technically conservative ABC was weighing into the debate. “Whether the Government is aware of it or not — the great colour race is on,” one ABC representative told TV Week in April 1967. “You can forget predictions that colour TV is many years away.” Bruce Gyngell, manager of TCN9, responded that, with colour equipment on order that would enable them to broadcast colour film, “It would be possible for TCN9 to make colour test transmissions in 18 months.” TV stations across the country also went ahead with their colour tests and demonstrations, including HSV7‘s closed circuit demonstration at the Royal Melbourne Show in 1968: YouTube: aussiebeachut0 Canberra station CTC7 also displayed colour television in a shopping centre demonstration over ten days in September 1969. ABC had already started filming major sporting events and some documentaries in colour for archival purposes and potential export. The Government, however, was maintaining its slow and steady approach — with Postmaster-General Alan Hulme insisting that the transition to colour was not going to be a rush job, taking into account the long term investment by government, industry and viewers on new equipment. ATV0 then embarked on what was the largest colour TV project to date — covering the Australian tour of the Billy Graham Crusade. ATV0, in association with Glen Warren Productions of North America, produced four one-hour programs from Graham’s Melbourne appearances which would be syndicated to 600 stations, covering approximately 50 million viewers, across the United States. More than $1 million of equipment was freighted to Australia for the production, including cameras on loan from a Canadian TV station, CFTO9. In February 1969, the Federal Government announced that after years of consideration — and fierce lobbying by equipment manufacturers from all sides — Australi

The Battle of the Little Bighorn was fought in which US state?

Battle of the Little Bighorn - Native American History - HISTORY.com Battle of the Little Bighorn Battle of the Little Bighorn Author Battle of the Little Bighorn URL A+E Networks Introduction The Battle of the Little Bighorn, fought on June 25, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in Montana Territory, pitted federal troops led by Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer (1839-76) against a band of Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne warriors. Tensions between the two groups had been rising since the discovery of gold on Native American lands. When a number of tribes missed a federal deadline to move to reservations, the U.S. Army, including Custer and his 7th Calvary, was dispatched to confront them. Custer was unaware of the number of Indians fighting under the command of Sitting Bull (c.1831-90) at Little Bighorn, and his forces were outnumbered and quickly overwhelmed in what became known as Custer’s Last Stand. Google Battle of the Little Bighorn: Mounting Tensions Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse (c.1840-77), leaders of the Sioux on the Great Plains, strongly resisted the mid-19th-century efforts of the U.S. government to confine their people to reservations. In 1875, after gold was discovered in South Dakota’s Black Hills, the U.S. Army ignored previous treaty agreements and invaded the region. This betrayal led many Sioux and Cheyenne tribesmen to leave their reservations and join Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse in Montana . By the late spring of 1876, more than 10,000 Native Americans had gathered in a camp along the Little Bighorn River–which they called the Greasy Grass–in defiance of a U.S. War Department order to return to their reservations or risk being attacked. Did You Know? Several members ofGeorge Armstrong Custer's family were alsokilled at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, including two of his brothers, his brother-in-law and a nephew. In mid-June, three columns of U.S. soldiers lined up against the camp and prepared to march. A force of 1,200 Native Americans turned back the first column on June 17. Five days later, General Alfred Terry ordered George Custer’s 7th Cavalry to scout ahead for enemy troops. On the morning of June 25, Custer drew near the camp and decided to press on ahead rather than wait for reinforcements. Battle of the Little Bighorn: Custer’s Last Stand At mid-day on June 25, Custer’s 600 men entered the Little Bighorn Valley. Among the Native Americans, word quickly spread of the impending attack. The older Sitting Bull rallied the warriors and saw to the safety of the women and children, while Crazy Horse set off with a large force to meet the attackers head on. Despite Custer’s desperate attempts to regroup his men, they were quickly overwhelmed. Custer and some 200 men in his battalion were attacked by as many as 3,000 Native Americans; within an hour, Custer and all of his soldiers were dead. The Battle of the Little Bighorn, also called Custer’s Last Stand, marked the most decisive Native American victory and the worst U.S. Army defeat in the long Plains Indian War. The demise of Custer and his men outraged many white Americans and confirmed their image of the Indians as wild and bloodthirsty. Meanwhile, the U.S. government increased its efforts to subdue the tribes. Within five years, almost all of the Sioux and Cheyenne would be confined to reservations. Tags

‘It’s the real thing’ was a 1970’s advertising slogan for which product?

‘The Real Thing’? The language of advertising slogans | OxfordWords blog Home > ‘The Real Thing’? The language of advertising slogans ‘The Real Thing’? The language of advertising slogans ‘The Antidote to Civilization’ – so stated the famous Club Med advertising slogan. The highly educated always claim to be immune to the blandishments of advertising slogans. At best they are clever word and image manipulations for the masses; at worst, they are a torture rack for grammar and language. Great literature they are not. (The sloganeering mode is very addictive!) Love them or hate them, stand aloof from them or engage with them, claim immunity from their persuasions or celebrate their memorability, there is no denying that the language of advertising slogans is pervasive, influential, and ubiquitous . It is estimated that the average western consumer is subject to 5,000 daily advertising messages across all forms of media. This makes it the most universal of creative literary forms. What’s it for? What is the purpose of the advertising slogan? A clue lies in the etymology of the word advertise itself – which has its root in the Latin verb ‘advertere’ – to turn towards. Slogans are a way of capturing the attention and taking the attention onwards to a predetermined destination. It was not always so. Advertising’s early words and images were simply to convey information: to describe products, how they worked, what they did, and their availability. Its modern role as an instrument of persuasion, as a literary form to convey meaning and significance, came later in the 20th century. Remember remember… To keep the consumer ‘turning towards’ the desired destination, the advertising slogan has to first of all grab attention. Then it must embed itself in the memory. To state the obvious, advertising words must be memorable. To be memorable, the words, phrases, and slogans must be repeated. (Even the word used for the basic text of an advertising message – copy – connotes replication and reproduction). To be recalled and repeated, to be passed along to others, to be used and reused, is the ultimate destination – the golden journey of an advertising slogan passing from the advertisers’ creative notebook to the nirvana of becoming a popular expression. Take ‘the customer is always right’ for a neat example of something that began life as an advertising slogan for Selfridges Store in 1910 and now is ingrained in the shopper’s lexicon . All success in advertising is predicated in being alive and retained in the memory. The human memory, however, can only store and recall finite numbers of slogans. A sure-fire route to success is to make the slogan a reductionist art form. ‘Think Small’, the Classic Volkswagen slogan in the USA in the 1960s, did precisely this, in encapsulating the essence of the message, its meaning and its relevance. It is essential in a noisy and crowded world that a slogan stands out. Take the Apple slogan of the 1990s ‘Think Different’ – which used the adjective different rather than the expected (and more grammatically correct) adverb differently. To be memorable the phrase and the image that goes with it must be differentiated. The word form of the slogan enables memorability. All ads direct towards some form of understanding and tangible action, mostly the purchasing of a product or service, or, in the area of public information, changing behaviour, changing a way of acting, or attempting to make people well-disposed to a cause or an idea. Do as I say In the early days of advertising, slogans tended to feature a call to action, taking the imperative tone, which was often emphasized by ungrammatical capitalization: ‘Go To Work On An Egg’ – Campaign by the Egg Marketing Board of the UK in the 1960s ‘Put a Tiger in Your Tank’ – Esso marketing campaign from the 1960s ‘Say it with Flowers’ – used by Interflora from the 1920s onwards ‘Don’t Leave Home Without it’ – used by American Express in the 1980s ‘Dig for Victory’ – the ubiquitous World War 2 public slogan which encouraged self-sufficiency in food production in the


In the UK television quiz show ‘The Chase’ which chaser is is known as ‘The Beast’?

The Chase | Game Shows Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit A team of three contestants attempt to amass as much money as possible to put into a team bank by answering general-knowledge questions. The money earned will go into the bank, but there is one person standing in their way: a quiz genius known as The Beast. The Beast's job is to catch each contestant and make sure the players are not able to put the money in the bank which the team must collectively play for in "The Final Chase". To begin, each player comes up one at a time and plays a game called "Cash Builder". In this game, each is given one minute to answer as many questions as possible with each correct answer worth $5,000. The more correct answers given, the more money the players could add into the bank. After the minute is up, the player's money is placed three steps down on an eight-step money board. The player may remain at this step and play for the money they have won, but if they so wish, they can be placed one step lower down the board for a smaller award, or one step further up the board for a greater award, with each award's value being set by The Beast. The lower award can occasionally be a negative amount of money. If the player elects to play for the greater reward, The Beast is two steps behind them and the player must answer six questions correctly to reach the end. If the player elects to remain where they are, The Beast is three steps behind them and the player must answer five questions correctly to reach the end. However, if the player elects to play for the smaller reward, The Beast is four steps behind them and the player must answer four questions correctly to reach the end. On occasion, The Beast can offer a more greater award, if this happens The Beast is one step behind them and the player must answer seven questions to reach the end. On rare occasions, the Chaser may escalate the stakes by offering a "super offer" for an even higher amount, with the contestant being required to answer seven questions correctly without being caught. Once the player nominates their starting position, they must answer questions correctly in order to reach the bottom of the board and bank their money. Both the player and The Beast are given the same multiple choice question with three possible answers, then must secretly press one of the three buttons on their keypad to lock in their answer. If the player and/or The Beast is correct, they move one step down the board, but if wrong, they must remain where they are. The Beast's job is to catch up to the player and eliminate them from the game by capitalizing on the mistakes the player makes before they can reach the bottom of the board. If this happens, the player is out of the game and the cash disappears, and as the saying goes, the chase is over, but if the player reaches the bottom, their money is put into the team's prize pot which will be contested for in the final round. This is repeated for all three players. The players who successfully outrun The Beast proceed to The Final Chase. If all three players are caught, then their prize fund is set to $15,000 and the team must nominate one player to proceed to The Final Chase, which is called a "Consolation Chase." The Final Chase Edit In the final round, all or the remaining players answer as many questions as possible in two minutes to amass as many spaces as possible. The more questions answered correctly, the players increase their chances to avoid being caught. To start, they are given one space per remaining member of the team. In the case of all three players being caught, then the one nominated person will receive a one-step head start, as opposed to having no head start at all. To answer a question, the player must press his/her own buzzer and only s/he can answer it. Upon buzzing in, an off-stage voice says that person's name. But sometimes if the contestant is right and at the same time the other contestant presses the button, it is counted as a wrong person answer, and they can't accept. In the event there's only one player in the Final Cha

The definition of 'all-star cast' and 'star-studded' has changed substantially in the last few years and in fact, the true star of THE TOWERING INFERNO wasn't any actor or star, but the late Irwin Allen, whose career in this type of film ended with the poorly-received WHEN TIME RAN OUT. The film, which was adapted from two source novels, THE GLASS INFERNO and THE TOWER (both of which were bought by rival studios Fox and Warner to compete at the box-office - and then decided at the last minute to pool their resources into creating a single script) is impressive in scope and design. For the uninitiated, one of the books deals with a disgrunted ex-employee who decides to cause an accident which starts a fire and in some ways that would have made a more intriguing storyline, but the plot of the actual film which involves cost-cutting to electrical circuits which causes the fire int the first place works as it is. At a running time of 158 minutes some may think the film too long. In this day and age there would have possibly been test screenings and some cutting of the film, but since the success of TITANIC at the box-office longer films have become the norm. Indeed, the more recent HARRY POTTER and LORD OF THE RINGS movies are in this bracket (although the upcoming KILL BILL story that the three-hour film will be split in two may pave the way for shorter lengths!!) Mind you, THE GREAT ESCAPE is of similar length and that film moves at a cracking pace. Steve McQueen is on screen less than some of the other stars in the film, but his performance is the best and complements others on show. Was the above review useful to you?


How many digits do frogs have on their back feet?

What Are the Functions of Hind Legs of Frogs? | Animals - mom.me What Are the Functions of Hind Legs of Frogs? Tree frogs use their hind legs for gripping and jumping. NA/PhotoObjects.net/Getty Images While not exactly the kind of pet you want to cuddle with, frogs can provide entertainment while their habitats add a peaceful element to your room. There are more than 5,400 species of frogs around the world, and the hind legs often serve different purposes depending on where a frog species lives. Jumping When you see a frog, you likely think of its amazing ability to jump. Although not all species are good jumpers, some can jump eight times their body lengths in a single hop. Most frog species use their hind legs as jump propulsion in some way, regardless if they live on land, in the water or in trees. Swimming Water-based frog species have special hind feet with webbing between the toes. They use their hind legs mostly to propel themselves through the water while swimming, using their front legs to steer. Swimming fast means escaping from predators and catching more prey, and those long, muscular hind legs are key to the frog's success. These frogs also jump when on land, but not usually as far as land-based species. Their jumps are more like little hops that keep them moving but without impressing your friends. Digging Some frog species like to burrow underground, and many have hind legs designed for just that purpose. Their toes end in tubercles, which are claw-like and help them grab and move dirt. Many of these burrowing species have short hind legs that don't allow much hopping -- they walk or crawl instead of jump to get around. Climbing Tree frogs have an outstanding ability to climb vertical surfaces -- their toes, including their hind toes, have sticky pads that grip the surfaces of trees to keep the frogs high and safe. They use their hind legs mainly for vertical climbing power, although most of these species are also good jumpers. One type of frog, the Costa Rican flying tree frog, has large webbing between its sticky toes. This frog can leap from one tree to another, spreading out his toes so the webbing can catch the wind and act like a parachute to keep the frog aloft.

(Photo: Sean Dempsey/PA Wire)   As this year's finalists line-up to do their owners proud, they will be hoping to emulate some of their doggy ancestors at the show. The Cocker Spaniel has won the most Best in Show titles, with seven wins, followed by the Irish Setter and Welsh Terrier which have both won on four occasions. The first ever Best in Show was won by a greyhound in 1928. Greyhound Primley Sceptre took home the top prize and was owned and bred by Herbert Whitley, a brewery millionaire who also founded Paignton Zoo. Theo, a four-a-half-year-old Pomeranian dog and Meme, a 10-month-old Afghan Hound, had to wait to compete at Crufts in 2001, after the show was postponed during the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak. Crufts ran in May rather than March that year. Crufts covers more than 25 acres of the NEC in Birmingham over five halls, the Pavilion and the Crufts Best in Show Arena. The show moved from Earls Court in London to Britain's second city in 1991 - the first time it was ever staged outside the capital. Crufts lost its apostrophe in 1974, the year it was also mentioned in a murder trial. A jury at the Old Bailey was told how a man who had started an affair with a woman he met at Crufts was then stabbed to death by his wife, with the knife he had used to cut up their dog's food. Dog entries topped 15,000 for the first time in 1961 and kept rising - there were 20,566 canine competitors in 2013. Queen Elizabeth II became the first reigning monarch to visit the Crufts. Her Majesty is royal patron of The Kennel Club, which organises the show. The BBC dropped live Crufts coverage from its schedule in 2009 following a dispute with The Kennel Club about the inclusion of certain breeds of pedigree dog in the competition. Crufts was first televised on the BBC in 1950. The Best in Show prize has been awarded for the past 86 years. A total of 43 different breeds have won the prestigious title over the years. The 1988 Best in Show winner, English setter Starlite Express of Valsett, was already a canine celebrity, having featured in a nationwide poster campaign for Pedigree Chum. In 1954 an electricians' strike action resulted in the show being cancelled. It was the only time, apart from during the two world wars, that Crufts has been cancelled. Like us on Facebook


In which year did Italy join the Six Nations (then Five Nations) Rugby Union Championship?

The History Of The RBS 6 Nations, 6 Nations History, 6 Nations Guide » The History of the RBS 6 Nations History of the Rugby Six Nations Championship Rugby fans know the Six Nations as the premier rugby union tournament in Europe, with six of the best European sides battling for national pride. But the competition wasn’t always such a European affair. While the Six Nations Championship has grown to include France and Italy, its origin is firmly rooted are within the United Kingdom. Origins The origins of the Six Nations Championship date back to 1871, when teams from England and Scotland played in the first-ever rugby union international match. In 1879, the Calcutta Cup was created as a prize for the winner of occasional matches played between teams from the two countries. Other Home Countries also became interested in international rugby union, leading to the creation of the Home International Championship in 1883, the first-ever international rugby tournament with teams from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. England and Scotland dominated the early years of the Home International Championship, with the two teams combining to win nine of the first ten championships. Increased interest in the sport lead to greater parity, with Wales and Ireland winning four of the last five championships contested at the end of the 19th century. France join the fray The growth of rugby union throughout Europe in the early part of the 20th century brought opportunities to expand the championship outside of the Home Nations, with France showing a particularly keen interest. After competing unofficially in the tournament for a few seasons, France officially became one of the teams in 1910, with the tournament renamed the Five Nations to reflect the new structure. However, France initially was hardly a competitive factor, as they won just one game in their first four years of tournament play. Outbreak of war The growth of the Five Nations was slowed by the outbreak of World War I in Europe, as the tournament was shut down from 1914 until 1920. France continued to struggle competitively after the tournament resumed, and were dropped in 1931 because of mismanagement in their administration and allegations that their amateur players had been paid to play at a club level. The tournament reverted back into a Home Nations contest until 1939, when the outbreak of World War II forced a halt to athletic competitions throughout Europe. Five Nations When the tournament resumed in 1947, France was brought back into the mix and allowed to compete in the Five Nations structure. Within a decade, the French would establish themselves as not just a competitive side but one of the dominant forces in international rugby union. They shared the Five Nations title in 1954 and 1955 and then had a streak of four consecutive championships from 1959-1962. Italy make it Six The tournament continued with the four Home Nations sides and France until 2000, when Italy joined the renamed Six Nations Championship. The Italians had an auspicious start, claiming a victory in their first-ever tournament match when they defeated Scotland in Rome. However, Italy are still clearly the minnows of the Six Nations teams; their best-ever finish in the tournament was fourth in 2007 after claiming back-to-back wins against Scotland and Ireland, and they’ve won just eight of their 60 matches played through the 2011 tournament. Winning a Six Nations Championship is a point of pride for any side, but there are additional accolades available within the structure. The most glamorous is for a side to earn the Grand Slam by winning all five of their matches. The French squad of 2010 was the last team to accomplish this feat. In addition, trophies are awarded to the winners of certain matches: the Calcutta Cup for the winner of the England vs. Scotland match and the Giuseppe Garibaldi Trophy for the victor between Italy and France are two examples.


In Britain, who does the Best Man traditionally sit next to at a wedding reception?

Wedding Etiquette and Traditions Wedding Etiquette and Traditions Confused about wedding etiquette? Wondering which traditions to keep and which to ignore? Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered! From meaningful traditions to strange superstitions, here’s absolutely everything you need to know before your big day. Walking down the aisle – who goes first? According to tradition and etiquette, the bride and groom should lead on the way up to the aisle after the ceremony. They should then be followed by bridesmaids and pageboys, the best man with the maid of honour, the bride’s mother with the groom’s father and then the groom’s mother with the bride’s father. How do we start the first dance? In a traditional wedding, the bride and groom should start off dancing together, then the groom should dance with his new mother-in-law, then his own mother. At the same time, the bride should dance with her new father-in-law and then with her father. The best man should join the dancing, with the maid of honour or chief bridesmaid when the newlyweds first break apart to dance with their in-laws.The rest of the ushers and bridesmaids are also invited to the dance floor at this time. Once the song has finished, all the guests are invited to join the party on the dance floor.  Want to follow tradition? There are many traditions associated with marriage, and in the past a wedding was seen as a time when people were very open to bad luck and evil spirits. These superstitions began many years ago, and lots are now ignored, but lots of brides choose to honour some traditions that are supposed to bring them good luck. For example, some brides choose to wear something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue on their big day! Another tradition that is supposed to bring good luck is the bride and groom not seeing each other before the ceremony. However, many couples choose to ignore this tradition so they can do a private ‘first look’ before the official ceremony. Who gives the speeches? Wedding etiquette dictates that speeches should be made by the father of the bride, the groom and the best man, in that order. They should try to remember to thank everyone for coming to the wedding, and toast to the bride and groom. Nowadays, it’s very common for the bride to make a speech as well. What lucky signs should I look out for on my big day? According to tradition, it is supposed to be good luck for the bride to meet a lamb, dove, spider or black cat on her way to the church. But if she sees a pig or a funeral on her way, these are seen to be bad omens. It is also considered fortunate for the bride to see a policeman, clergyman, doctor, or blind man on the way to the church.  When should I throw the bouquet? The custom of the bride throwing her bouquet shoulder was originally performed by her throwing one of her shoes over her shoulder. After the reception the bride throws her bouquet back over her shoulder where the unmarried female guest group together. Tradition states that the one who catches the bouquet will be the next one of those present to marry. Did you know about these strange superstitions? There is a tradition which says that if a bride wishes to be the dominating influence in her married life, she must be the first to buy something after the wedding. The best way to ensure this is to buy a pin from the chief bridesmaid when changing into her travelling costume. Although most weddings now take place on Saturdays, it was once considered an unlucky day to get married. Fridays were also considered unlucky, partially because of Friday 13th. A famous old rhyme advises that a wedding should take place during the first half of the week, saying that Monday brings “wealth”, Tuesday brings “health” and Wednesday is the “best day of all”.  Sharing this article?

The Banoffee Pie was invented at the Hungry Monk restaurant in which English county?

The inventor of the banoffee pie has died - Telegraph Food and Drink News The inventor of the banoffee pie has died Nigel Mackenzie, the inventor of the world-famous banoffee pie, has died,  leaving behind one of Britain's most famous desserts The banoffee pie was a hit with customers Photo: Alamy By Saffron Alexander Comments Nigel Mackenzie, the inventor of the world-famous banoffee pie, has died. Though you might easily think it was American, the dessert was actually invented in Britain at the The Hungry Monk Restaurant in East Sussex, by owner Mackenzie and his chef, Ian Dowding. The pair claimed to have tweaked an apparently "unreliable" American recipe for a " Blum's Coffee Toffee Pie " in 1971. They tried various different combinations, including apples, mandarin and oranges but only found success after Mackenzie suggested they try a banana. On his website , Dowding says: "Nigel suggested bananas and straight away we knew we had got it right. Like the classic combinations of strawberries and cream, bacon and eggs and sausage and mash it is something that is more than just the sum of its parts. Nigel Mackenzie, the creator of the banoffee pie "The only trouble now was that we had to find another name as banana, coffee, toffee pie was getting a bit long winded. It was Nigel who came up with the word ‘Banoffi’ as a combination and abbreviation of the syllables in the ingredients. It was only really meant as a temporary name but it seemed to stick." The dish was incredibly popular with their customers at The Hungry Monk and they regularly had customers who would ring "to book and to check that it was still on the menu". Eventually, the popularity of the dessert meant it became a permanent fixture to the menu. After a few years, they began to see their pie on the menus of other restaurants and rumours began to spread that it was being served to the Prime Minister and at Buckingham Palace. Now, the pie is so popular all over the world it has a place in the dictionary - "A pie or tart made with toffee, bananas, and cream" - and a recipe for it is often seen printed on tins of Nestlé's condensed milk. What a legacy.


Who played British fictional television detective Freddie Spender?

Big River   “Spender” – 20th Anniversary Tribute On January 8th, 2011 it will be twenty years since Jimmy Nail’s “Spender” was first aired on BBC Television.  To celebrate this milestone, this is a little tribute to what became my favourite television programme and the reason I became a fan of Jimmy Nail. Concerned about being typecast after becoming famous for his character Oz in “Auf Wiedersehen, Pet”, Jimmy wanted a change of direction and also more control over the types of roles he played.  Encouraged by his friend and fellow Geordie Ian La Frenais, (who along with Dick Clement wrote” Auf Wiedersehen, Pet” and other classics such as “Porridge” and “The Likely Lads”), Jimmy came up with the idea of a maverick detective series set in his native Newcastle-upon-Tyne.  Coincidently, Ian had also been keen to write a cop-show for years and so the two men created a series together with Jimmy spending time at Ian’s home in Los Angeles during 1989.  The series would simply be called “Spender”. Jimmy would play the lead role of Detective Sergeant Freddie Spender and the show would make a star of Sammy Johnson who played Spender’s criminal buddy Stick with great comedic aplomb and also Denise Welch of “Loose Women” fame who played Frances, Spender’s ex-wife.  The theme tune and incidental music had been written by long-time friend Tony McAnaney who was also given the role of Spender’s musician friend Keith Moreland.  The series combined a great deal of background for the main characters and the episodes dealt with Spender’s home life and circumstances as well as his professional life which made for good continuity throughout.  It also helped Ford promote the Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth as a flint grey example was used as Spender’s car, with a new one being featured each season. The series was the first to be filmed entirely on location in the North East and Jimmy himself had also changed his appearance greatly since his Oz days.  Having lost a quarter of his body weight and now with long hair, Jimmy wondered if the public would accept the new character as readily.  He needn’t have worried as the show became an instant hit and ran for three seasons during 1991 to 1993 with consistently high ratings.  The first season featured eight episodes, the second and third ran for six episodes with Jimmy having penned nine episodes out of the twenty and there was also a spin-off “Spender” novel in 1992.  Sadly for the fans, the series came to an end on December 29th 1993 in an excellent 90-minute feature-length episode, “The French Collection”, which was filmed on location in Marseille and Newcastle and also penned by Jimmy.  By the end of the series, Jimmy was not only a successful television actor, but also a writer, creator and producer and would pave the way for future successes such as “Crocodile Shoes” and the return of” Auf Wiedersehen, Pet”.  For an in-depth description of each “Spender” episode, it is worth checking out Neil Potter and Eamon Rooney’s episode guide at www. epguides.com

‘The Stolen Generations’ were children of which country who were taken from their families to be adopted or brought up by the state?

A guide to Australia’s Stolen Generations - Creative Spirits Creative Spirits A guide to Australia’s Stolen Generations Politics & media A guide to Australia’s Stolen Generations Read why Aboriginal children were stolen from their families, where they were taken and what happened to them. The horrific abuse they suffered in institutions and foster families left thousands traumatised for life. Last updated: 17 August 2016 Detail of the ‘Great Australian Clock’, Queen Victoria Building, Sydney. Note that the artist confined Aboriginal men to the painted background, seemingly ignorant of the situation. You can view the clock from the highest level inside the building. Tip: Get free Stolen Generations postcards to send to your friends! One of the darkest chapters of Australian history was the forced removal of Aboriginal children from their families. Children as young as babies were stolen from their families to be placed in girls and boys homes, foster families or missions. At the age of 18 they were ‘released’ into white society, most scarred for life by their experiences.These Aboriginal people are collectively referred to as the ‘Stolen Generations’ because several generations were affected.Many Aboriginal people are still searching for their parents and siblings. I feel our childhood has been taken away from us and it has left a big hole in our lives. —Jennifer, personal story in the Bringing Them Home Report A guide to the Stolen Generations Why is Aunty Kelly fearing her kids can be taken away? Find out how much Kelly has to pay for the items she has listed. Find one word that represents the effect the women’s worries had on their lives. In which years were the women in Kelly’s family worried about their children? Research what rights the “welfare man” had, which government agency was allowed to take kids “facing hardship”, and what can happen today if kids don’t turn up at school. With the background of Kelly’s story above, explain what she said below. In the back of my mind, I always hear the voice that says "don’t ever let anyone know you’re doing it tough, because they will take your kids from you".—Kelly Briggs, Aboriginal mother [40] The new Stolen Generation is much larger Call to protest against the taking of more children. On 2 May 2012 Aboriginal people rallied and marched on the Department of Child Safety in Brisbane. They also protested against children dying while in 'care'. [42] A Special Commission of Inquiry into the Department of Community Services found that in March 2008 there were 4,458 Aboriginal children in out-of-home care, 4 times as many Aboriginal children as were in foster homes, institutions or missions in 1969, during the Stolen Generations [19]. 8% of Aboriginal people aged 15 years and over were removed from their natural families in 2008 [22]. By 2014, almost 35% of all children in care were Aboriginal. But Aboriginal children were making up only 4.4% of Australia’s total child population. [44] From February 2001 to August 2007 the number of children reported to DoCS increased by 300% to 55,303 [18]. In Queensland, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children represent 6.3% of the under-18s, yet in 2006 they made up over 25% of those in out-of-home care [26]. In 2011 in New South Wales, 33% of Aboriginal children and young people were in the care system, and the national figure was 36% [28]. In Western Australia, 46% of children in state care were Aboriginal in 2011, in regional areas “nearly 100%” were thought to be Aboriginal [24]. Filmmaker John Pilger investigates this new stolen generation in Utopia . “The theft is now higher than at any time in the last century,” he found. In mid-1997 there were 2,785 Aboriginal children in out-of-home care across Australia. By mid-2012 there were 13,299 - almost a five-fold increase. Pilger notes the NT government spent $80 million in one year removing children but just $500,000 supporting impoverished families.
