Which Lord was commissioned to report into the 1981 Brixton Riots?

BBC ON THIS DAY | 25 | 1981: Brixton riots report blames racial tension About This Site | Text Only 1981: Brixton riots report blames racial tension Last April's riots in Brixton, south London were caused by serious social and economic problems affecting Britain's inner cities, a report has said. Lord Scarman's inquiry into what he called the worst outbreak of disorder in the UK this century also blamed "racial disadvantage that is a fact of British life". The report criticised police and the government, but it said there was no excuse for the violence and praised officers for their conduct during the disorder. Hostile crowd The investigation found the rioting was caused by a spontaneous crowd reaction to police action - rightly or wrongly believed to be harassment of black people - and had not been planned. On the night of 10 April two police officers were attempting to help a black youth who was bleeding from a suspected stab wound when they were approached by a hostile crowd. The local community was already aggravated by "Operation Swamp" - during which large numbers of black youths were stopped and searched - and the confrontation quickly escalated. Over 300 people were injured, 83 premises and 23 vehicles were damaged during the disturbances, at an estimated cost of �7.5m. Community policing Lord Scarman called for a new emphasis on community policing and said more people from ethnic minorities should be recruited to the force. He also advised the government to end racial disadvantage and tackle the disproportionately high level of unemployment among young black men - as high as 50% in Brixton. The report has been widely welcomed by senior policeman and government ministers.


Who cried when his ‘Walkers Crisps’ were taken off him?

Gary Lineker reflects on 20 years of crisp ads | Daily Star Gary Lineker reflects on 20 years of crisp ads WITH that familiar cheeky look, Gary Lineker grabs yet another crisp and sticks it in his mouth. Gary Linekar on the set of the new Walkers crisp advert It’s getting close to 20 years I’ve been doing these ads Gary Linekar He’s already ploughed his way through several packets as we join him for the shooting of his latest Walkers ad. How many? Nobody’s counting. And the Match Of The Day host is happy to keep on munching. Gary might have lost count of the crisps, but not the years. “It’s getting close to 20 years I’ve been doing these ads,” he says “It’s absurd! Who would have thought when I did the first one as a one-off, I’d still be going now?” In fact, the 52-year-old former England star has been making the promos for 19 years. So what’s his favourite? Gary doesn’t hesitate. It was the one he filmed with Paul Gascoigne. “It was only a one-day shoot and it was based on Italia 90 when he cried,” Gary explains. “I would squeeze his hand while he was trying to get in my packet of crisps and he cried. “They used this contraption that spurted water out of his eyes and it was so funny doing it that we couldn’t keep a straight face for hours. “We had to have a serious word with each other and tell each other if we didn’t sort it out, we’d be there for days. It was hilarious.” Gary reckons he is happy to clown around for the popular ads, which see him send up his nice-guy image. “I don’t mind making a fool of myself as I think it’s important not to take yourself too seriously,” he says. “I don’t have any input into the ads but I do try telling them we should film in sunnier climes. It tends to fall on deaf ears though. “There have been a couple of ads I wasn’t so keen on, such as the one where I was dancing in the rain. “I had three days of shooting with freezing cold water poured on me – deeply unpleasant on a cold day.” The latest ad sees Gary tracking down ingredients to make his favourite snack as they now include real home-grown British ingredients. His quest sees him collecting cheese in Somerset, chasing chickens in Devon and tracking down tomatoes in the Vale of Evesham, Worcs, before being soaked by sprinklers. But there is one real ingredient that will not be appearing any time soon. “There’s no horse,” he laughs. “And no plans to bring out horse-flavoured crisps. “Seriously though, from the scandal we’ve seen in recent weeks, it shows that people like to know what’s going in their food. So it makes sense to use home-grown produce, like the chicken.” Leicester, Everton, Barcelona and Tottenham striker Gary got in a flap when there was a massive outcry after he quit Twitter in January this year. He went back on the social network site just eight days later after the story made headlines. Gary says: “I was just going to have a break from Twitter as I was on it a bit too much, but you can’t be on it and just stop tweeting as you’ll be tempted to look. I deleted my account because I knew I’d just keep looking otherwise. “Then there was this furore, it was just mad. So I just went back on quicker than I anticipated because I’d had enough of the fuss. I should have kept my gob shut. Next time I won’t mention it, I’ll just disappear.” As filming comes to an end, talk turns back his old pal Gazza, 45, currently battling his drink and drug demons at a clinic in Arizona. Gary says: “I understand Gazza is stable and we all wish him well. “There’s a lot of love for Gazza which he can hopefully take some comfort from.” ● Gary channels his inner farmer on a tractor in the new Walkers Home Grown advert. The ad airs at 7.45pm tonight during Coronation Street on ITV1.

By what name was the Amu Darya river, which forms part of Afghanistan's borders with Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, known in classical times?

Afghanistan Afghanistan Official name: Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Area: 647,500 square kilometers (250,001 square miles) Highest point on mainland : Mount Nowshak (7,485 meters/24,558 feet) Lowest point on land: Amu Darya River (258 meters/846 feet) Hemispheres : Northern and Eastern P.M. = noon GMT Longest distances: 1,240 kilometers (770 miles) from northeast to southwest; 560 kilometers    (350 miles) from northwest to southeast Land boundaries : 5,529 kilometers (3,436 miles) total boundary length; China, 76    kilometers (47 miles); Iran, 936 kilometers (582 miles); Pakistan, 2,430    kilometers (1,511 miles); Tajikistan, 1,206 kilometers (750 miles);    Turkmenistan, 744 kilometers (463 miles); Uzbekistan, 137 kilometers (85    miles) Coastline: None Territorial sea limits : None 1 LOCATION AND SIZE Afghanistan is a landlocked nation (does not have access to the sea) in     south-central Asia. At the crossroads of north-south and east-west trade     routes, the country has been invaded many times, by Alexander the Great     in the fourth century B.C. , and by the Soviet Union in the twentieth century A.D. Almost as large as the state of Texas, Afghanistan is bounded by six     different countries. Afghanistan's longest     border—accounting for its entire southern boundary and most of     its eastern one—is with Pakistan. The shortest one, bordering     China's Xinjiang province, is only 76 kilometers (47 miles), at     the end of the Wakhan corridor. 2 TERRITORIES AND DEPENDENCIES Afghanistan has no territories or dependencies. 3 CLIMATE The climate of Afghanistan ranges from semi-arid (light annual rainfall)     to arid (almost no annual rainfall), with wide variations in     temperature, both between seasons and between different times of day.     Its summers are hot and dry, but its winters are bitterly cold. Recorded     temperatures have ranged as high as 53°C (128°F) and as low as     -26°C (-15°F) in the central highlands, which have a subarctic     climate. (Subarctic climate features long, very cold winters with short,     cool summers, and little rainfall.) Summertime temperatures in Kabul,     the capital of Afghanistan, can vary from 16°C (61°F) at     sunrise to 38°C (100°F) by noon. Summer highs in Jalalabad     average 46°C (115°F). The mean January temperature in Kabul is     0°C (32°F). Strong winds that blow between June and September     (called the "Winds          of 120 Days") can have a velocity of up to 180 kilometers per     hour (108 miles per hour). In much of the country, rainfall is sparse and irregular, averaging 25     to 30 centimeters (10 to 12 inches) and mostly occurring between October     and April. Rainfall is generally heavier in the eastern part of the     country than in the western regions. Afghan summers are generally dry,     cloudless, and hot. Humid air from the Persian Gulf (body of water lying     west of Afghanistan between Saudi Arabia and Iran) sometimes produces     summer showers and thunderstorms in the southwest. Most of the     precipitation in the mountains falls in the form of snow—and     sometimes as hail. During the Soviet Union's occupation of     Afghanistan in the 1980s, the Afghan resistance fighters called mujahideen referred to the heavy hail that fell in the mountains as "Allah's minesweepers" because its force was     sometimes strong enough to set off land mines. S -8 to 2°C (18 to 36°F) 4 TOPOGRAPHIC REGIONS From northeast to southwest, the Hindu Kush Mountains divide Afghanistan     into three major regions: 1) the central highlands, which form part of     the Himalaya Mountains and          comprise roughly two-thirds of the country's area; 2) the     southwestern plateau, which accounts for one-fourth of the land; and 3)     the smaller northern plains area, which contains the country's     most fertile soil. The Wakhan corridor, lying between Tajikistan and


Under what pseudonym did writer Edith Pargeter create the detective Brother Cadfael?

OBITUARY: Ellis Peters | The Independent OBITUARY: Ellis Peters Sunday 15 October 1995 23:02 BST Click to follow The Independent Online Ellis Peters wrote "Mystoricals". More than any other writer of the past half-century, British or American, Peters - or rather Edith Pargeter, under her best-known pseudonym - popularised this, one of the most enthralling of all of detective fiction's many sub-genres: the mystery set in historical times. While not the form's creator (that honour must go to the late Lillian de la Torre, the American crime-writer who cleverly transformed Dr Johnson and Boswell into an 18th-century Holmes and Watson, during the course of over 30 highly ingenious short stories), Pargeter was still hugely successful, and this success not only propelled many other writers into trying their hand at similar scenarios, but actually influenced the commercial direction taken by her last publisher. For a period, in the early 1990s, the crime list of Headline was almost entirely devoted to "Mystoricals" set in one era or another. At a time (the 1970s) when there was a strong vogue for Victorian sleuths, early or late (from Ben Healey's rumbustious Bow Street Runner Jeremy Sturrock to Peter Lovesey's Sergeant Cribb or Donald Thomas's Sergeant Verity), Pargeter deliberately, almost defiantly, went her own way, setting a tale of murder and mystery a full 700 years before then, during the bloody civil war between Stephen and Maud: a fearsome era when, as the ancient chronicler so tellingly put it, "Christ and all his angels slept". This was her 1977 novel A Morbid Taste For Bones (Pargeter had a genius for a clever or arresting title; three others of note being Black is the Colour of My True-Love's Heart, Mourning Raga and A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs). This, as she termed it, "Medieval whodunnit", written at an age (63) when most women of her generation were just starting to enjoy their retirement, attracted attention and gained enthusiastic reviews. Others followed, all featuring the tough, compassionate but immensely pragmatic (because ex-man-of-blood) Brother Cadfael (pronounced Cad-vile). All were set in or around Shrewsbury, creating in the end, via 20 or so books published over a period of nearly two decades, a minor tourist industry; that part of Shropshire being inevitably dubbed "Brother Cadfael" country, in much the same way that Tyneside is "Catherine Cookson" and the Yorkshire Dales "James Herriot" country. In making her monkish sleuth (whose specialist knowledge of herbs and simples proved the undoing of many a wolfish wight) an inhabitant of Shrewsbury's Benedictine Abbey of Saints Peter and Paul, Edith Pargeter did not stray far from her roots. She was born, in 1913, in the shadow of the Wrekin, to the east of Shrewsbury in the tiny hamlet of Horsehay, now virtually submerged into the inelegant sprawl of Telford New Town - in which, on a brand-new and pleasantly landscaped estate, Pargeter resided in Cadfael- donated comfort during her latter days. She was something of a polymath (musicologist, historian, an authority on the Czech language) yet largely self-educated; she never attended university. Instead she spent seven years (1933-40) as a chemist's assistant and wrote in her spare time - successfully, almost from the start. Nineteen thirty-six was Edith Pargeter's year of miracles. During its course, she appeared in the downmarket 20-Story Magazine and at the same time the thumpingly upmarket Good Housekeeping. She also published two novels, one of which was her first historical, Hortensius, Friend of Nero. At this time the publishers Herbert Jenkins, an industrious supplier of popular, entertaining but essentially undemanding dross to the library trade, unintentionally acted as a kind of nursery for tiro writers. The adventure novelist Ralph Hammond Innes largely taught himself to write, producing cheap thrillers for Jenkins, and Pargeter followed the same path, turning out, as "Jolyon Carr", a number of mainly woman-in-peril suspensers. Here, working for the chemist paid off, giving her (like Agath


An eft is a juvenile stage of which amphibian?

* Eft (Animals) - Definition,meaning - Online Encyclopedia Notophthalmus viridescens <140mm (<5.5in) Adults are aquatic but breathe air.

Their bellies are yellow with black spots. eft) life cycle stage before returning to the water full-time in adulthood. From the Greek Herpeton. Refers to a reptile or amphibian. Red eft - terrestrial stage of the red-spotted newt Salamander s of SC and GA Reptile s and Amphibians of SC and GA ... During the eft and adult stages of their life they have highly toxic skin secretions that protect them from predators. Habitat Eastern Newt s are found in eastern Canada and eastern USA and they inhabit wet forests with small lakes or ponds. The Common Newt , also known as Smooth Newt or Brown Eft, only spends a portion of its life in water, for in summer, autumn and winter it lives on land exclusively. Male and female look alike during these parts of the year: brown or dark olivegreen on top and a lighter speckled underside. The skin toxins of the terrestrial "eft" stage of the Eastern Newt are poisonous enough that small animals may be sickened or killed by eating them though few actually try, having been warned off by the eft's bright red or orange color. The terrestrial existence (known as the eft stage) may last from one to several years. At this stage, it is brightly colored red-orange which is useful in warning predators of its toxic and irritating skin secretions. There are three developmental stages in the life cycle of the newt ; aquatic larvae with external gills, the terrestrial juvenile, or eft, and the aquatic adult. In the aquatic, "larvae" or "tadpole" stage, they are brown-green, have external gills and laterally compressed tails. The terrestrial eft stage has been confirmed in Cook and DuPage Counties, but little else is known about the land form in this area. Some reports of surface activity by efts have been in August. Terrestrial Sub-adults ( red eft ) Colorations: The dorsal background color is light orange to dull red that becomes lighter ventrally. There are two series of light reddish to orange spots that are bordered with black that extend along the dorsolateral surface. After two to three weeks (depending on water temperature), the eggs hatch to a larval form - a tadpole or eft. For a few days, the larvae live off the food reserves contained within their yolk sacs (left over from the egg stage). The red phase on land: During the time right after metamorphosis, many North American Newt species go through a phase called the eft phase. Their skin turns a reddish color and the animal lives its life on land, almost never seen in the water. Unusual life cycle: begins as an aquatic larva, changes to terrestrial immature (" red eft ", then finally changes to aquatic adult. Immature terrestrial efts found under leaf litter and logs. Aquatic adults live in ponds, and marshes. Find Related Info: salamander s ... Miscellaneous: By evolving bright red coloration similar to that of the extremely toxic red eft (Notophthalmus viridescens), the red salamander benefits from the fact that many predators have learned to avoid bright red salamander s.

To whom did Sonny Liston lose the World Heavyweight Boxingchampionship in 1964?

BBC ON THIS DAY | 25 | 1964: Cassius Clay crowned world champion About This Site | Text Only 1964: Cassius Clay crowned world champion Cassius Clay, 22, has been crowned heavyweight champion of the world after beating Sonny Liston in one of the biggest upsets in boxing's history. Clay, from Kentucky, was announced the winner after the hot favourite retired at the end of the sixth round in Miami. When the bell rang for the start of the seventh round, Liston stayed on his stool in the corner of the ring - saying he did not want to continue. Florida state attorney Richard Gerstein is to launch an inquiry into the fight. Clay was earlier fined around �900 for disgraceful conduct after he ranted at his 32-year-old opponent during the weigh-in. He had chanted "I wanna rumble...I wanna rumble!" before saying "You're a tramp. I am going to eat you up. Somebody's going to die at the ringside tonight. Are you scared?" I was born to be great. I am great and I will be greater - the greatest Cassius Clay Liston had built his reputation on two first round knock-outs of Floyd Patterson and in the boxing world he was thought to be invincible. Clay had come into the fight after suffering his greatest humiliation to date - being knocked down by Henry Cooper's left hook. Liston reigned supreme when he was challenged by former Olympic gold medallist Clay, who ring experts said was "all talk". The majority of sports journalists covering the bout thought that Clay, who was 7-1 underdog, would be no match for Liston. Only half of the seats had been sold and around 8,000 people attended the fight. The fight started at 0310 GMT at the Convention Hall in Miami Beach and Liston had been widely expected to retain his title in the third round. I can't lose Sonny Liston Liston, known as the "dark destroyer", had managed to pin Clay to the ropes during round two but in round three the champion was forced to retreat, with his left eye pouring with blood. Clay: "I am the greatest" In Context The World Boxing Association let Cassius Clay keep his heavyweight championship following the controversy over his fight with Sonny Liston at Miami Beach. Ed Lassman, president of the WBA, had earlier demanded that Clay be stripped of his title and recommended giving the title back to him if his conduct improved over the next five months. Miami State attorney Richard Gerstein said a month-long inquiry revealed no evidence of match-fixing. He added that there was little doubt that Liston was suffering from a sore shoulder during the fight. Both the original fight and the rematch a year later in Maine, which Clay won with a first-round knockout, have been dogged by allegations of rigging. Muhammad Ali, as he was later known to his adoring fans, said the victory in Miami over Liston was the most important of his career - because he had proved he was qualified to be champion of the world. Shortly after the fight, Clay surprised the sports world by announcing that he had joined the Nation of Islam and had changed his name to Muhammad Ali. His boxing career lasted 20 years, during which he won 56 fights and scored 37 knock-outs. As an admirer once said, Ali would, "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee". In December 1981, Ali decided to retire from the ring and Parkinson's disease was later diagnosed. Stories From 25 Feb

In the meantime, many members of the crew are taking advantage of the delay to pursue their own projects, myself included." Jean-Luc Picard continues his Mozart recording In his quarters, Captain Picard is trying to record a piece by Mozart with the Ressikan flute , but he is interrupted by Lieutenant Commanders Data and La Forge . They ask for permission to experiment with creating an interface between Data's positronic brain and the ship's computers, so he can act as an emergency backup system in case of ship-wide failure. Picard enthusiastically grants them permission and goes back to the recording when they leave, but is interrupted again by Doctor Beverly Crusher . She wants him to perform in her next play, " Something for Breakfast "; when he protests about his lack of free time and acting skill, Beverly explains she only wants to cast him in the minor role of the Butler , and assures him he can do it, reminding him of the rehearsal time as she exits. Picard again resumes the recording, but is almost immediately interrupted for a third time by Worf , who presents a proposed schedule for security drills. When Picard suggests the drills should wait for the new personnel soon to come aboard from Starbase 118 , Worf suggests he make maintenance checks on the forward phaser array instead, but the Captain tells him to enjoy himself during this free time. Worf, slightly baffled, thanks him and leaves Picard to resume his recording. In Worf's quarters, his son, Alexander is lying on the floor while he plays with his computer. He jumps up when he hears his father entering the room and he asks what the Captain said; Worf lets himself fall into a chair and after a short silence reluctantly admits that he has been relieved from his duties for the duration of the delay. When Alexander asks him if this means that he can go with him, Worf told him he could. Alexander cheerfully announces, "Saddle up, father!", and places a Stetson hat onto Worf's head. There seems to be no way to escape his son's idea of recreation. Act One Edit Deadwood, South Dakota Worf and Alexander are in the Deadwood holodeck program , looking down at the town of Deadwood. This program is situated on 19th century Earth in an era known as the " Ancient West ." They are dressed up like law enforcement officers, Worf portraying the sheriff —and Alexander his deputy . While Worf and Alexander are walking through the main street, Geordi La Forge and Data are in engineering , preparing for their experiment. After Geordi connects an optic cable on the opened right side of Data's head to access Data's auxiliary input, he admits that he still is not used to seeing Data like this, with parts of his head opened and showing his circuitry. After Geordi completes the connection, Data establishes the link-up with the Enterprise computer and they start their experiment. Worf and Alexander, walking down the main street, are greeted by a lady of the night who whistles at them. When Alexander tells him that Lieutenant Barclay helped him write the program, Worf notes to himself that he will have to have a talk with Barclay later.

Which Beatrix Potter female character was rescued from a fox by Kep the collie?

Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature, by Linda Lear A Life In Nature The Published Writing of Beatrix Potter The Tale of Peter Rabbit - 1902 The story of the naughty Peter Rabbit and his adventure in Mr McGregor's garden,         was the first of Beatrix Potter's books to be published, in 1902, by Frederick Warne.         The book was an expansion of the original letter to Noel Moore, with black and white         drawings and was refused by several publishers. Finally, Beatrix had the book printed         herself, and gave it to her family and friends. Frederick Warne saw the book and         agreed to publish it if Beatrix would replace the black and white images with colour         sketches. This was to be the birth of a legend. Buy at Amazon.com The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin - 1903 In 1901, while holidaying near Derwentwater in the Lake District, Beatrix wrote         a letter to Norah Moore, sister of Noel, describing the Squirrels she saw daily.         This letter eventually developed into the story of the cheeky squirrel, who dared         to tease 'Old Brown' the owl, living on an island in the lake. Buy at Amazon.com The Tailor of Gloucester - 1903 The Tailor of Gloucester was apparently Beatrix's favourite book. It is based on         a true life story of a tailor in the City of Gloucester whom, leaving a waistcoat         unfinished one Friday evening, was amazed to find it completed when he returned         on Monday morning. In reality, the waistcoat was finished by an assistant, trying         to give his master a helping hand. But in her book, Beatrix replaced the assistant         with talking mice, and to add to the enchantment of the story, had it pass on Christmas         Eve. Originally dedicated to another of the Moore children, it was inscribed; 'To         Freda, because you are fond of fairy tales, and have been ill.' 22 of Beatrix's original drawings from this book may be seen in the Tate Gallery,         London.

Beatrix and Norman         were, at this time, becoming close friends, and developing a romantic attachment.         The doll's house in question was, in the story, the home of two dolls, Lucinda and         Jane, who were troubled by the 'Two Bad Mice', Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca. Buy at Amazon.com The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle - 1905 Many of Beatrix Potter's books were based on the numerous pets she had kept during         her life. Although she did, at one time, have a pet hedgehog named Mrs Tiggy-Winkle,         the character in the book is based on an old washerwoman in the village of Sawrey,         Mrs Kitty MacDonald. The young girl in the story, Lucy, was Lucy Carr, the daughter         of the vicar of Newlands which is a valley between Derwentwater and Buttermere.

"""Rat Trap"" and ""I Don't Like Mondays"" were number one singles for which band?"

History of The Boomtown Rats History of The Boomtown Rats 1975 Friends Garry Roberts, Simon Crowe, Johnnie Moylett, Patrick Cusack and Gerry Cott formed a band in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland. Bob Geldof was originally invited to be the band's manager, but he soon found himself nominated to take on the role of lead vocals by guitarist Garry Roberts, who originally had that job and didn't want it. Playing the guitar was difficult enough for him, without having to sing as well. Geldof's ridiculous harmonica playing impressed the others hugely and sealed his fate. The band's early influences were Dr. Feelgood, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Doors and Bob Marley, among many others. Gerry and Pete arranged the band's first gig for Hallowe'en 1975, for a fee of £60 - not bad for 1975, under the name of The Nightlife Thugs, at the Bolton Street Technical College, where they - and Johnnie, were studying Architectural Technology. Just before the band went on stage, they changed their name to The Boomtown Rats, who were a gang mentioned in Woody Guthrie’s autobiography, "Bound For Glory". The Rats were soon causing a buzz throughout the whole of Ireland. 1976 The Boomtown Rats relocated to England in search of a record deal. They turned down a million pound deal from Richard Branson’s Virgin Records, and decided instead to sign for a new label that had been set up by former Phonogram man Nigel Grange and DJ Chris Hill. The new label was called Ensign. 1977 The Boomtown Rats played their first ever UK gig on May 6th at the Lodestar Club, Ribchester, Blackburn, Lancashire. The supporting acts were Demolition, and Disco-Punk Chris Graham. Having undertaken a hectic schedule of touring including gigs with Tom Petty, and The Ramones, The Boomtown Rats debut single Looking After Number One entered the UK charts in it’s first week of release at No. 78. The NME made it their single of the week. The Rats did their first TV show, a turn on The Marc Bolan Show. Marc tragically died 2 weeks later in a motor accident. Looking After Number One peaked at No.11 in the UK charts and The Rats were invited to do their first TOTP appearance. The band had now arrived. The Rats released their debut album, the imaginatively entitled Boomtown Rats. The album reached 18 in the UK charts. The Rats released their second single Mary Of The Fourth Form from their debut album, this was a ditty about a schoolgirl, Mary Preece who Geldof had fancied. The single reached No.14 in the UK singles chart. 1978 She’s So Modern reached No.12 in the UK charts, more gigs, more tours, more exposure. Geldof was now becoming as well known for his motor-mouth as he is for his music, picking up the nickname “Bob The Gob” by the music press for his outspoken views, with quotes like "All I want out of pop music is to get rich, get famous and get laid". The fourth single Like Clockwork became the bands first top 10 single reaching No.6. The Rats second album A Tonic For The Troops produced by Robert Mutt Lange reaches No.8 in the album charts and hangs around for 44 weeks. There was more TV, a promotional trip to America and November saw The Rats reach the top, when Rat Trap knocked John Travolta & Olivia Newton John off the No.1 spot. The Boomtown Rats were so pleased with their achievement that they tore up pictures of John Travolta & Olivia Newton as The Rats began to sing on Top of The Pops! The Boomtown Rats made history as the first Irish band to have a UK No.1 hit. Rat Trap is also recognised as the first New Wave song that made No.1 in the charts. 1979 In January of this year, Geldof hears the story on the news of the Californian schoolgirl, Brenda Spencer who shot and killed her principal of the school and injured many of her school mates. When interviewed and asked why she did it, she replied “I Don’t Like Mondays”. This quote proved to be inspirational to Bob Geldof & Johnnie Fingers. The ensuing single became a smash hit world-wide, reaching the No.1 spot in 32 countries and quite rightly became an all-time classic. The Boomtown Rats undertook a world tour, taking in Amer


electrical resistance - Definition of Ohm in SI basic units in words - Physics Stack Exchange Definition of Ohm in SI basic units in words up vote 4 down vote favorite One way Wikipedia defines Ohm is (this is also teached in school): $$1\Omega =1{\dfrac {{\mbox{V}}}{{\mbox{A}}}}$$ They describe this definition in words, too: The ohm is defined as a resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of 1.0 volt, applied to these points, produces in the conductor a current of 1.0 ampere, the conductor not being the seat of any electromotive force. The definition of Ohm in SI basic units is: $$1\Omega = 1{\dfrac {{\mbox{kg}}\cdot {\mbox{m}}^{2}}{{\mbox{s}}^{3}\cdot {\mbox{A}}^{2}}}$$ It's really hard for me to get that this definition is correct. It's clear that mathematical calculations confirm this definition. But how do you describe the definition of the SI in words like that paragraph on wikipedia? Edit: How would you describe it? Although it is not common to do it that way, I think describing it that way, could be very interesting. up vote 5 down vote accepted I think the short answer is, you don't. The reason we call the unit of force a Newton and not a kg m/s$^2$ is because it is convenient and it expresses the relation you want to convey when used elsewhere (e.g., $F=-kx$ for a spring). Similarly, it is convenient to "hide" the MKS base units into a single term, the potential $V$ in this case, so that the formula is easier to remember and that the relation is conveyed, in this case the relation between potential difference, current, and resistance.      You are totally right. This is the common way to refer to other formulars by using their symbol. But assuming you want to descibe it anyway. So I correct my question to: How would you describe it? I think describe it that way, could be very interesting. –  andrew Feb 15 '14 at 19:00      @andrew: How would I describe an ohm? It's the unit that describes how much the flow of charge is hindered by the material. –  Kyle Kanos Feb 15 '14 at 19:08      Yeah. This is an good answere. But what do you mean with "flow of charge"? Do you mean the Amperage $I$ ? –  andrew Feb 15 '14 at 19:19      @andrew: If you feel more comfortable with it, you could replace "flow of charge" with "bulk motion of electrons," as it is the electrons that are moving in an electric circuit. –  Kyle Kanos Feb 15 '14 at 19:23      So physically the motion of electrons you mean is $I=\frac{Q}{t}$, isn't it? –  andrew Feb 15 '14 at 19:26 up vote 4 down vote I'm not sure there's much of a point to what you're asking. The intuitive way to understand an Ohm is to use $\Omega = V/A$. If you want to use SI units, you can, and the math indeed tells you that your other definition is correct, but you're not gonna get much out of it. Indeed, the most you could do is to separate it like this: $$\begin{align}\Omega &= \frac{\text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2 }{ \text{s}^3 \cdot \text{A}^2 }\\ &= \frac{ \text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^2}{\text{s}^2}\cdot \frac1{\text{A}\cdot\text{s}}\cdot \frac1{\text{A}} \\ &= \frac{\text{J}/\text{C}}{\text{A}}\\ &= \frac{\text{V}}{\text{A}} \end{align} $$ This is just a proof of the equivalence between the two definitions, but don't expect to get any nice word description of the SI definition. up vote 2 down vote Not sure whether this is correct, but if you have to do it, I think you can say that it is: the work done by the conductor per unit charge per unit current through the conductor, or in terms of SI units, $\mathrm{\frac JC\cdot \frac1A}$ which is the same as: the work done by the conductor per unit current per unit time per unit current, $\mathrm{\frac J{A\cdot s\cdot A}}$ We know that the work done is equal to the dot product of the force and the displacement, so it is: the electric force multiplied by the displacement of the charge carrier per unit time per unit charge squared, $\mathrm{\frac{N\cdot m}{s\cdot A^2}}$ and we know force has SI units $\mathrm{kg\;m\;s^{-2}}$ So I guess you can say that the ohm is the resistance when one newton of electric


"Who produced and created ""Allo Allo"" and ""Are you being Served"" with David-Croft?"

'Allo 'Allo | Culture Northern Ireland allo1.jpg I remember ‘Allo ‘Allo from my childhood, as I’m sure many TV addicts do if they were raised in an age when they were trapped by access to a mere four channels. It was broadcast on BBC One over ten years, from 1982 to 1992 – a whole seven years longer than the Nazi occupation of France, during which period it is set. 'Allo 'Allo was created by David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd who, together or separately, also produced Dad’s Army, Hi-De-Hi and Are You Being Served?. These were some of the most popular sitcoms in post-war British comedy, defining the form for a generation. Much like other cornerstones of the era, however, such as the the Carry On series, for example, they have not aged so gracefully. This stage version was also written by Croft and Lloyd, and was performed by the cast of the original television series over a number of years after the show was cancelled. The plot condenses some of the more salient points of the show, which viewers may or may not recall.   Essentially Rene Artois, a bar owner in the French town of Nouvion, is caught at the centre of a web of intrigue and suspicion spun around a plundered painting, the ‘Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies’, which he has hidden in a sausage in his kitchen. In addition to this, Artois is concealing a pair of British airmen in his basement. In true farcical style, Artois attempts to keep everyone happy – the Resistance, the occupying Nazis, the Gestapo – while also keeping his affairs with his two waitresses from each other and from his wife, the sharp-tongued Edith. Artois's struggles make for lots of to-ing and fro-ing, many mix-ups and misunderstandings. 'Allo 'Allo the stage version, therefore, is a quintessential British farce with lots of laughs and plenty of innuendo thrown in for good measure. This current version is being staged by Showcase Productions NI, a cross-community organisation that has been touring for over a dozen years. They previously produced musical projects exclusively, such as the much-loved Blood Brothers, but have been branching out in recent years to non-musical projects such as this. Aside from a couple of old hands in the main roles, the cast is entirely populated by newcomers or novices. The performances are, in the main, strong and energetic. Those with less experience occasionally lack projection and confidence. No doubt further performances will smooth these issues out. The staging is simple but effective, ensuring that the pace only flags in the second half. The whirlwind script demands so many transitions between rooms, basements and boudoirs that momentum in the individual scenes is inevitably lost during the numerous set changes. My only real, lasting gripe with the show is with the script. As mentioned, the tropes of the show have not aged well. This style of comedy verges on the archaic, which can be tiresome, and the unreconstructed attitude (to put it lightly) toward some of the female characters leaves a particularly sour taste in the mouth. During this performance in Downpatrick’s Down Arts Centre, the older crowd don’t seem to have any such qualms with the content, so it’s possible that my concerns could be ascribed to generational differences. Not that I don't laugh in certain parts – Croft and Lloyd were great comedy writers, after all. Despite such qualms, the actors, experienced and otherwise, acquit themselves well, which is satisfying to see. When smaller venues like the Down Arts Centre are having to compete with larger venues in nearby cities – and their glitzy international productions – surely giving young actors the opportunity to gain experience in front of a paying audience is to be lauded.

What is the more common name for the alligator pear?

History: what's in a name? What's in a name? Adapted from sources listed at bottom of page Introduction The avocado, like corn, fig, tobacco, and sugar cane, is what is known as a "cultigen"; that is, it is a cultivated species which was domesticated so far back in antiquity and has undergone such drastic transformation under prehistoric human selection that its ancestry is unknown. Plant distribution and taxonomic evidence are compatible with the assumption that the avocado did originate in south central Mexico or nearby. The Aztecs knew it well and called the fruit aoacatl. Transliterated into the language of today, the original Aztec name for the avocado is ahuacatl. This name is still used in parts of Mexico where the Aztec language has not been entirely replaced by Spanish. Their word for tree is quahuitl. So the avocado tree becomes ahuacaquahuitl. The journey from aoacatl to avocado is an interesting one. Conquistadores "Yaharo is a good port, with good lands, and here are groves of many different sorts of edible fruits, among others is one which looks like an orange, and when it is ready for eating it turns yellowish; that which it contains is like butter and is of marvelous flavor, so good and pleasing to the palate that it is a marvelous thing." When Martin Fernandez De Encisco wrote these lines in "Suma de Geografia" (1519), Florida and California were still undiscovered to Europeans, who had only just starting to explore the new continent. He gave no name to the fruit which would later become an important horticulture crop in those states. The first European to give a name to the fruit appears to have been Pedro do Cieza de Leon, writing between 1532 and 1550, he referred to it under the names "aguacate" and "palta," a name for the fruit used by the Incas. The Incas had only recently discovered the avocado themselves when they conquered an area where it was being cultivated. "Tupac Inca Yupanqui marched to the province of Canari, and on the road he conquered another called Palta, whence they brought to the warm valley near Cuzco the wholesome and delicious fruit called Palta." This is from the "Royal Commentaries of the Incas," published in 1605 by Garcilaso de la Vega. It is known that Tupac Yupanqui's conquest of the northern provinces took place sometime about 1450-1475. It seems that all of the early explorers choked on the Aztec name aoacatl and it was soon corrupted by the Spaniards to ahuacate and aguacate. Spreading it around Starting with corrupted mainland names, the fruit was carried elsewhere acquiring local vernacular names as it went, most of them derived from ahuacate. An English merchant, by the name of Hawkes, whose travels in Mexico were published by Hakluyt in 1589, mentioned having seen this fruit, which, with the usual clumsiness of the early writers in spelling plant names foreign to their tongues, he called alvacata. This appears to be the first mention of the avocado in an English publication. The fruit soon appeared in the West Indies, where new varieties developed. It was in these tropical islands that many travelers first encountered avocados, among them the young George Washington, who wrote in 1751 that "agovago pears" were abundant and popular in the Barbados. In Spain it became known as abogado. In French-speaking countries, it is avocatier. Among Dutch-speakers, avocaat. In Trinidad and Tobago, zaboca. In Jamaica, it was variously referred to as avocado, avocato, avacato, avigato, albecatta, or the rather repugnant alligator pear. It is to Sir Hans Sloane that we owe the name avocado. This distinguished naturalist published in 1696 a catalogue of the plants of Jamaica, among which he listed, but did not describe, this tree. "The Avocado or Alligator Pear-Tree. It grows in gardens and fields throughout Jamaica." Settling on a name At the beginning of the present century, when avocado growing first began to receive serious attention in the United States, there was a great divergence of opinion regarding the correct name of this fruit. One author had listed over 40 different names

CHILDHOOD 1897 Birth Born on June 12, 1897. 1907 10 Years Old Eden was educated at two independent schools. The first was Sandroyd School in Cobham from 1907 to 1910, where he swam poorly but excelled in languages. TEENAGE 1911 14 Years Old He then started at Eton College in January 1911. … Read More There he won a Divinity prize and excelled at cricket, rugby and rowing, winning House colours in the last.

 He learned French and German on continental holidays and at one stage as a child spoke French better than English. Although he was fluent in French and German, and able to converse with the Chinese premier Chou En Lai in French at Geneva in 1954, out of a sense of professionalism he normally preferred to have diplomats present to translate at meetings, e.g. when he met Hitler in February 1934.

 Although Eden later claimed to have had no interest in politics until the early 1920s, his teenage letters and diaries show him to have been obsessed with the subject. He was a strong, partisan Conservative, rejoicing in the defeat of Charles Masterman at a by-election (May 1913) and once astonishing his mother on a train journey by telling her the MP and the size of his majority for each constituency through which they passed.

Although she was a popular figure locally, she had a strained relationship with her children, and her profligacy ruined the family fortunes. Edenâs older brother Tim had to sell Windlestone in 1936. Rab Butler would later quip that Edenâa handsome but ill-tempered manâwas "half mad baronet, half beautiful woman".

Eden's great-grandfather was William Iremonger who commanded the 2nd Regiment of Foot during the Peninsular War, fighting under Wellington (as he became) at Vimiero. He was also descended from Governor Sir Robert Eden, 1st Baronet, of Maryland, the Calvert Family


"Which writer's final novel was ""The Brothers Karamazov""?"

The Brothers Karamazov | novel by Dostoyevsky | Britannica.com The Brothers Karamazov Pride and Prejudice The Brothers Karamazov, the final novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky , first published as Bratya Karamazovy in 1879–80 and generally considered to be his masterpiece. It is the story of Fyodor Karamazov and his sons Alyosha, Dmitry, and Ivan. It is also a story of patricide, into the sordid unfolding of which Dostoyevsky introduces a love-hate struggle with profound psychological and spiritual implications . Throughout the novel there persists a search for faith, for God—the central idea of the work. The dramatization of Ivan’s repudiation of God’s world is concentrated in the famous “Legend of the Grand Inquisitor.” A response to Ivan is contained in the preaching of the monk Zosima that the secret of universal harmony is achieved not by the mind but by the heart.

Zen, Slave and Orac, are the 3 computers used by the protagonists in which TV series of the 1970's and 80's?

Adventures with the Wife and Blake | zen June 28, 2014  | Posted by  Neil Perryman in Series 3 90 comments End of the line… First things first: Sue already knows that there are 52 episodes of Blake’s 7. I did consider telling her that there were only three series before we started this blog, so I could text her during ‘Terminal’ with the good news (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’ll explain later), but I thought better of it – not only would it have been cruel, I probably would have ended up with a serious injury. However, I did tell her that this episode could have been the last one, but wasn’t. Obviously. Oh, and she can sing the theme tune perfectly now, which is nice. Sue: Terry Nation! Long time no see. Me: This is the last time you’ll ever have to sit through a Terry Nation story, Sue. I promise. It’s the end of an era. Sue: I’m not sure how I feel about that. Just as I was beginning to like him. Avon is holding his hands over his face… Sue: Are they playing Hide and Seek? Are they really that bored? Meanwhile, Dayna and Cally are playing Space Monopoly in the teleport room. So yes, they really are that bored. Cally: My game in nine thousand seven hundred and twenty-one moves. Sue: How long have they been playing for? Six months? Tarrant wants to know why Avon altered the Liberator‘s course without telling anybody. Sue: Avon has turned into Blake. This is exactly the sort of thing that Blake would do. He should know better. Avon has received a secret message. Sue: It has to be Servalan. She’s poking Avon. Me: When did you last use Facebook, Sue? The 18th Century? Avon is so tired, he can’t even be bothered to come up with a decent quip to hurl at Tarrant. Sue: I bet Terry’s the one who’s tired. He must have been up against a deadline. Tarrant butts heads with Avon like he’s never butted heads with Avon before. Avon: Nothing and nobody is going to stop it, you least of all. Now get out of my way, and stay out of my way. Sue: Ooh, this just went up a notch. I’m not sure whose side I’m on any more. Avon is acting like a right twat. He’s acting like Blake. Thanks to Avon, the Liberator ends up flying through some liquid particles. According to Zen, the damage to the ship is superficial, but then we cut to what looks like acid eating through the hull. Sue: Either Vila has just been sick or Zen is faulty and they’re all ****ed. The Liberator arrives at its final destination: Terminal. Sue: It looks like a giant egg. I hope there isn’t a giant space chicken in this episode. I wouldn’t put it past them. Avon is determined to teleport to Terminal alone. Sue: Is he expecting to take part in a jousting competition? Because those gloves are ridiculous if he isn’t. Avon: I have recorded a full explanation of everything I am doing. Zen will not issue it until you are in flight. It’s very detailed. The only thing missing is the end. Sue: Blake did this once, I’m sure of it. And Avon called Blake an idiot when he did it to him, so what’s he playing at? Avon: Understand this: anyone who does follow me, I’ll kill them. Sue: Eh? Has Avon been taken over by aliens? Why is he doing this? Has Terry forgotten who he’s writing for? This is a really Blakey thing to do. Avon isn’t that impressed with Terminal. Avon: If this is an example of a man-made planet, they should go back to the drawing board and start again. Sue: I bet it’s gorgeous on a sunny day. It reminds me of the Yorkshire Dales. It’s the weather that’s crap, not the location. Why would you create an artificial planet with bad weather, anyway? It doesn’t make sense… A rhythmic heartbeat follows Avon’s every move. Sue: It’s the Sound of Drums. Avon has been summoned to this planet by the Time Lords. Me: Are you sure you don’t write fan fiction in your spare time, Sue? Avon retrieves a spherical device from a spherical device dispenser. Sue: It’s an egg timer. There are lots of egg references in this episode, Neil. Should I be worried? The heartbeat belongs to a giant chicken, doesn’t it? The spherical device speaks to Avon. And no, it isn’t a Toclafane, Sue. Sphere:


"Which film actress of the 1920's was known as the ""It"" Girl""?"

Film History of the 1920s Film History of the 1920s 1970s | 1980s | 1990s | 2000s | 2010s Foundations of the Prolific Film Industry: Films really blossomed in the 1920s, expanding upon the     foundations of film from earlier years. Most US film production at the     start of the decade occurred in or near Hollywood on the West Coast, although     some films were still being made in New Jersey and in Astoria on Long     Island (Paramount). By the mid-20s, movies were big business (with a capital     investment totaling over $2 billion) with some theatres offering double     features. By the end of the decade, there were 20 Hollywood studios, and     the demand for films was greater than ever. Most people are unaware that     the greatest output of feature films in the US occurred in the 1920s and     1930s (averaging about 800 film releases in a year) - nowadays, it is     remarkable when production exceeds 500 films in a year. Throughout most of the decade, silent films were the predominant      product of the film industry, having evolved from vaudevillian roots.      But the films were becoming bigger (or longer), costlier, and more polished.      They were being manufactured, assembly-line style, in Hollywood's 'entertainment      factories,' in which production was broken down and organized into its      various components (writing, costuming, makeup, directing, etc.). Even       the earliest films were organized into genres or types, with instantly-recognizable storylines, settings, costumes,       and characters. The major genre emphasis was on swashbucklers, historical       extravaganzas, and melodramas, although all kinds of films were being       produced throughout the decade. Films varied from sexy melodramas and       biblical epics by Cecil B. DeMille, to westerns (such as Cruze's The        Covered Wagon (1923)), horror films, gangster/crime films, war films,       the first feature documentary or non-fictional narrative film (Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North        (1922)), romances, mysteries, and comedies (from the silent comic       masters Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd). The Major Film Studios: The Big Five 1920-1930 was the decade between the end of the Great         War and the Depression following the Stock Market Crash. Film theaters         and studios were not initially affected in this decade by the Crash in         late 1929. The basic patterns and foundations of the film industry (and         its economic organization) were established in the 1920s. The studio          system was essentially born with long-term contracts for stars, lavish         production values, and increasingly rigid control of directors and stars         by the studio's production chief and in-house publicity departments. After         World War I and into the early 1920s, America was the leading producer         of films in the world - using Thomas Ince's "factory system" of production, although the system did limit the creativity of many directors.         Production was in the hands of the major studios (that really flourished         after 1927 for almost 20 years), and the star system was burgeoning. Originally, in the earliest years of the motion picture      industry, production, distribution, and exhibition were separately      controlled. When the industry rapidly grew, these functions became      integrated under one directorship to maximize profits, something called vertical      integration.          There were eight major (and minor) studios (see below) that      dominated the industry. They were the ones that had most successfully      consolidated and integrated all aspects of a film's development. By      1929, the film-making firms that were to rule and monopolize Hollywood      for the next half-century

Which revolutionary leader was born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov?

Vladimir Lenin | The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History Log in to favorite pages Share page Print page Vladimir Lenin Vladimir Lenin (1870–1924), born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, was a Russian revolutionary and leader of the Soviet Union (later the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) until 1924. Lenin seized power during the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, following the ousting of Russia’s tsar. He soon began negotiating peace with Germany, which was achieved with the 1918 Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. The same year, Lenin led the Bolsheviks in becoming the Russian Communist Party. At the same time, deposed leaders of the imperialist government were forming forces to oppose revolutionary leadership. Lenin formed the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army to combat the threat, leading to three years of civil war. Though the Red Army quashed opposition forces, agricultural and industrial declines caused by war policies created unrest in the country. Lenin began looking toward silencing dissent and transforming Soviet communism. In 1922, however, he was incapacitated by a series of strokes. Before his death, he dictated his “Testament” declaring regrets about the past, and fears for the future, of Soviet Communism. In particular, he condemned the dictatorial behavior of Joseph Stalin, the Communist Party’s general secretary who would succeed Lenin after his death in January 1924.

Smooth and hot--red rusty spot Never here be seen, oh!" LUCIE, knocked--once-- the song. A little frightened voice called out "Who's that?" Lucie opened the door: and what do you think there was inside the hill?--a nice clean kitchen with a flagged floor and wooden beams--just like any other farm kitchen. Only the ceiling was so low that Lucie's head nearly touched it; and the pots and pans were small, and so was everything there. THERE was a nice hot singey smell; and at the table, with an iron in her hand stood a very stout short person staring anxiously at Lucie. Her print gown was tucked up, and she was wearing a large apron over her striped petticoat. Her little black nose went sniffle, sniffle, snuffle, and her eyes went twinkle, twinkle; and underneath her "Oh yes, if you please'm; look at the sheep-mark on the shoulder. And here's one three that come from Little-town. They're always marked at washing!" said Mrs. Tiggy-winkle. AND she hung up all sorts and sizes of clothes-- small brown coats of mice; and one velvety black mole-skin waist coat; and a red tail-coat with no tail belonging to Squirrel Nutkin; and a very much shrunk jacket belonging a petticoat, not marked, that had gone lost in the washing --and at last the basket was empty! made tea--a cup for herself and a cup for Lucie. They sat before a fire on a bench and looked sideways at one another. hand, holding the tea-cup, was very very brown, and very very wrinkly with the soap suds; and all through her gown and her cap, there were hair-pins sticking wrong end out; so that Lucie didn't like to sit to near her. tea, they tied up the clothes in bundles; and Lucie's pocket-handkerchiefs were folded up inside her clean pinny, and fastened with a silver safety-pin. And then they made up the fire with turf, and came out and locked the door, and hid the key under the door-sill. THEN away down the hill trotted Lucie and Mrs. All the way down the path little animals came out of the fern to meet them; the very first that they met was Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny! AND she gave them their Nice clean clothes; and all the little animals and birds were so very much obliged to dear Mrs. Tiggy-winkle. SO that at the bottom of the hill when they came to the stile, there was nothing left to carry except Lucie's one little bundle. stile with the bundle in her hand; and then she turned to say, "Good-Night," and to thank the washer-woman-- But what a very odd thing! Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle had not waited either for thanks or for the washing bill! was nothing but a hedgehog. *  *  *  *  * (Now some people say that little Lucie had been asleep upon the stile-- but then how could she have found three clean pocket-handkins and a pinny, pinned with a silver safety pin?
