It features cartoons, comics and caricatures from the collection of Luke Gertler, who has been collecting original cartoon artwork for more than 50 years. On display will be works by H.M. Bateman, Max Beerbohm, Giles, David Low, Donald McGill, Thomas Rowlandson, Ronald Searle, John Tenniel and Dudley D. Watkins, among many others. Asked what drew him to the cartoons he chose for his collection of more than 800 images, Luke Gertler told the Cartoon Museum newsletter : “With cartoons, it’s the picture I would buy, rather than the joke. I liked ones with people, with characters, and the style was very important to me. I preferred rather bold colour styles, firm outlines like in John Hassall , for instance. I liked also the cartoonists who drew in wonderful detail, like Thelwell and Heath Robinson .” One Hundred and One Cartoonists runs until January 29. For more details, visit the Cartoon Mu


What astronomical feature is sometimes called ‘The Way of St John’?

Which state of the USA has land borders with Georgia and Alabama?

Historic Origins of Alabama's Boundaries | Encyclopedia of Alabama Historic Origins of Alabama's Boundaries David M. Robb, Huntsville, Alabama Alabama's complex boundaries reflect the rich history of the state. Diverse events from 1663 to 1826 have created these limits, reflecting a wide array of issues and factors. Rivers and other geographic features, evolving cartographic knowledge, Native American traditions, colonial aspirations, national politics, international confrontations and diplomacy, ambitious land speculations, territorial squabbles, and, ultimately, official negotiations—all played a role in setting its borders with neighboring states. Generally, Alabama's northern and southern boundaries originate in the colonial era, its eastern and western boundaries reflect Indian traditions and territorial issues, and the state's southern footprint to the Gulf of Mexico results from deft international diplomacy. The Northern Boundary 1734 Map of America Alabama's basic boundaries were shaped during North America's colonial era. In March 1663, King Charles II of England created the Carolina colony from Virginia and set the 31st parallel, now Alabama's southern boundary with Florida, as the southern limit of Carolina. In 1729, the colonies of North Carolina and South Carolina were formed from the Carolina colony, but no border was set between North Carolina and South Carolina west of the Appalachian Mountains. Later, in 1732, the Georgia Colony was created entirely from South Carolina; thus, Alabama ultimately would be formed from Georgia. Finally, in 1735, the North and South Carolina colonies agreed on the 35th parallel as the border between them west of the Appalachians, thus leading to the 35th parallel as the border between western North Carolina, which later became Tennessee, and western Georgia, which later became Alabama and Mississippi. The Northwestern "Ear" Alabama's Northwestern "Ear" The west and east limits of Alabama's northern boundary reflect Native American traditions, Georgia's attempts to sell its western lands, and geographic misunderstanding. For local Indian groups, the Tennessee River was an important natural border. Downstream from Muscle Shoals , it historically separated the Chickasaw Nation to the west from the Cherokee Nation to the east. This traditional Indian boundary is the apparent precedent for the western boundaries of two Georgia land companies of the early federal era. Georgia entered the union in 1788 as a small coastal state but eagerly claimed vast new western lands extending to the Mississippi River that had been off limits to white settlers under British colonial rule. In 1789, an ambitious Georgia governor began to sell large tracts of this area, culminating in controversial sales in 1795 to four land companies of 35 million acres in present-day Mississippi and Alabama. Involving all kinds of deceit, bribery, and corruption, this debacle, known now as the Yazoo Land Fraud, ended in 1796 when a newly elected Georgia legislature rescinded the fraudulent land sales. Ultimately, Georgia yielded all claims to its former western lands to the federal government in 1802. However, these two short-lived Georgia land companies, the 1789 Tennessee Yazoo Company and the 1795 Tennessee Company, apparently determined the limits of Alabama's north boundary. Their western boundary, going south from the 35th parallel, followed the Tennessee River upriver about nine miles to the mouth of Bear Creek, submerged under present-day Pickwick Lake in the twentieth century. In 1817, this previously recorded land survey feature was the apparent precedent for the Tennessee River part of the border set by Congress between the new state of Mississippi and the Alabama Territory. Thus, Alabama's "northwest ear," on the north side of the Tennessee River in the western tip of present-day Lauderdale County , originated from a traditional border between the Chickasaw and Cherokee nations, later followed by the western limits of two ephemeral Georgia land companies.

Who was the mother of the English kings Richard I and John?

Richard the Lionheart - The Crusades Updated February 02, 2016. Richard the Lionheart - Early Life: Born September 8, 1157, Richard the Lionheart was the third legitimate son of King Henry II of England. Often believed to have been the favorite son of his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard had three older siblings, William (died in infancy), Henry, and Matilda, as well as four younger, Geoffrey, Lenora, Joan, and John. As with many English rulers of the Plantagenet line, Richard was essentially French and his focus tended to lean toward the family's lands in France rather than England. Following the separation of his parents in 1167, Richard was invested duchy of Aquitaine. Well educated and of dashing appearance, Richard quickly demonstrated skill in military matters and worked to enforce his father's rule in the French lands. In 1174, encouraged by their mother, Richard, Henry (the Young King), and Geoffrey (Duke of Brittany) rebelled against their father's rule. Responding quickly, Henry II was able to crush this revolt and captured Eleanor. With his brothers defeated, Richard submitted to his father's will and asked forgiveness. His greater ambitions checked, Richard turned his focus to maintaining his rule over Aquitaine and controlling his nobles. Ruling with an iron fist, Richard was forced to put down major revolts in 1179 and 1181-1182. During this time, tension again rose between Richard and his father when the latter demanded that his son pay homage to his older brother Henry. Refusing, Richard was soon attacked by Henry the Young King and Geoffrey in 1183. Confronted by this invasion and a revolt of his own barons, Richard was able to skillfully turn back these attacks. Following the death of Henry the Young King in June 1183, Henry II ordered John to continue the campaign. Seeking aid, Richard formed an alliance with King Philip II of France in 1187. In return for Philip's assistance, Richard ceded his rights to Normandy and Anjou. That summer, upon hearing of the Christian defeat at the Battle of Hattin , Richard took the cross at Tours with other members of the French nobility. In 1189, Richard and Philip's forces united against Henry and won a victory at Ballans in July. Meeting with Richard, Henry agreed name him as his heir. Two days later, Henry died and Richard ascended to the throne. He was crowned at Westminster Abbey in September 1189. Richard the Lionheart - Becoming King: Following his coronation, a rash of anti-Semitic violence swept through the country as Jews had been barred from the ceremony. Punishing the perpetrators, Richard immediately began making plans to go on crusade to the Holy Land . Going to extremes to raise money for the army, he finally was able to assemble a force of around 8,000 men. After making preparations for the protection of his realm in his absence, Richard and his army departed in the summer of 1190. Dubbed the Third Crusade, Richard planned to campaign in conjunction with Philip II and Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa of the Holy Roman Empire . Richard the Lionheart - The Crusades: Rendezvousing with Philip at Sicily, Richard aided in settling a succession dispute on the island which involved his sister Joan and conducted a brief campaign against Messina. During this time, he proclaimed his nephew, Arthur of Brittany, to be his heir, leading his brother John to start planning a revolt at home. Moving on, Richard landed in Cyprus to rescue his mother and future bride, Berengaria of Navarre. Defeating the island's despot, Isaac Komnenos, he completed his conquest and married Berengaria on May 12, 1191. Pressing on, he landed in the Holy Land at Acre on June 8. Arriving, he gave his support to Guy of Lusignan who was fighting a challenge from Conrad of Montferrat for the kingship of Jerusalem. Conrad was in turn backed by Philip and Duke Leopold V of Austria. Putting aside their differences, the Crusaders captured Acre that summer. After taking the city, problems again arose as Richard contested Leopold's place in the Crusade. Though not a king, Leopold had ascended to


In which English county is Buckfast Abbey, famed for its tonic wine?

The first ever Buckfast cocktail competition was held in Galway this week http://jrnl.ie/1829104 The first ever Buckfast cocktail competition was held in Galway this week The contest, which was open to every bar in Galway, was won by a concoction called ‘Buckfast Lives Forever’. Dec 11th 2014, 4:08 PM 13,151 Views 47 Comments THIS WEEK SAW the inaugural Buckfast Cocktail Competition take place in Galway. This featured eight bars across Galway competing to be named the King or Queen of Buckfast. Entry was open to all licenced premises in the Galway area and contestants were subject to two rules to be able to compete. Firstly, whatever cocktail they made was required to contain the tonic wine. Secondly, their concoction should be “easily reproduced and available to purchase in the entrant’s bar.” The company say that all of the entrants to the competition were of “very high quality” and that the prize on offer to the winners was “pride”. Winners  The first place went to Fionn Doyle from The Skeff in Galway. His winning cocktail, “Buckfast Lives Forever”, contained cucumber, lime, strawberry, gin and a range of other ingredients to give the wine a “fresh citrus take”. Second place was taken by a seasonal variation cocktail called “Christmas Pudding” – which contained real cherries as well as cream and nutmeg. Third place was taken by a Snoop Dog inspired effort. Buckfast based egg nog “Buck Noggy Nog” was made by Colm from Bierhaus. The drink Buckfast is a tonic wine manufactured by Benedictine monks in Buckfast Abbey in the English county of Devon. It has previously faced criticism over its association with violent crime – with much of this focus being on its consumption in Scotland.  The drink is available to buy on Amazon , where some users are rather emphatic in their praise for it.

Which Disney character’s sidekick was Timothy Q Mouse?

Timothy Q. Mouse | Disney Fan Fiction Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Timothy Q. Mouse is the deuteragonist in Disney's 1941 hit feature film,  Dumbo . He was voiced by Edward Brophy in the film, Corey Burton in House of Mouse and Chris Edgerly in the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts . Contents [ show ] Personality Throughout the film, Timothy's primary goal is to make Dumbo rich and famous and rescue his mother. He is very clever and extremely caring for Dumbo. He understands Dumbo is crushed that his mother is away from him and tries not to push him too hard. He has a New York accent. Appearances Dumbo In the film, Timothy doesn't appear until after Dumbo's mother is taken away. Timothy goes to cheer Dumbo up after he sees how badly the elephants are treating him. At first, Dumbo doesn't trust Timothy, but Timothy proves that he's a nice guy. Timothy and Dumbo soon become friends and Timothy tells Dumbo in order to get his mother out he must become a star. So they tried, during the "Pyramid of Pachyderms" act, and it was a disaster. Dumbo then becomes a clown and Timothy cheers him up by helping him visit his mother. Mrs. Jumbo and Dumbo are happy to see each other, but the visit is short and Timothy must take Dumbo back to the circus grounds. Meanwhile, clowns are drinking and a bottle of champagne drops into Dumbo's drinking water. Both Timothy and Dumbo drink the water and begin seeing Pink Elephants , but later they find themselves awakening on top of a tree. On the tree, they meet a group of crows who bully Dumbo about being on top of a tree. The crows begin wondering how Dumbo got up there and everybody gets the idea that Dumbo is to be a flying elephant. Timothy firmly believes Dumbo is capable of flight, but the crows simply ridicule both the mouse and elephant. Furious, Timothy soundly rebukes them for their thoughtless attitude. The crows, now humbly chastised, give a "magic" feather to Timothy in order to help Dumbo fly. After Dumbo learns to fly, he becomes very famous and his mother was able to come live with him like Timothy had predicted and afterward Timothy became Dumbo's official manager. House of Mouse Timothy has recurring appearances on the television series House of Mouse . He appears with Dumbo, the crows, and the Pink Elephants and many other famous Disney characters. Timothy's most notable appearance is where Donald and Daisy accidentally release the Pink Elephants and Timothy scares them away, saving the club.

The animation of Timothy scaring the Gossipy elephants was recycled for use in Goliath II for the scene with the Mouse scaring the elephant herd.


Whose sayings are collected in the hypothetical Q document or Q source?

The Story Of The Storytellers - Q - The Hypothetical Gospel | From Jesus To Christ | FRONTLINE | PBS Elaine H. Pagels: The Harrington Spear Paine Foundation Professor of Religion Princeton University Today there are people who talk about Q as though it's a gospel. Q, as I see it, is not a gospel, it's a hypothesis. When scholars first began to study the gospels of the New Testament, literarily, they discovered that Matthew and Luke both used Mark as the core, sort of the basic story line that they tell. Because Mark is completely incorporated - 16 chapters - into both Matthew and Luke. But they both also used other sayings, parables, and stories and so forth. And scholars observed that there's a part of the sayings in Matthew that are exactly identical with sayings in Luke. In fact they're identical in Greek. Now think -- Jesus spoke Aramaic. So if you were translating Aramaic, and if I were translating Aramaic, they'd come out different, these translations. So you would only have Jesus speaking identical sayings in Greek if you had a written translation in Greek of his sayings. And so scholars suggested that there must have been, besides Mark, something else written down that would have been a list of the sayings of Jesus, translated into Greek. And they called that "Quelle" which means source in German. And they call it for short, "Q." Nobody ever has found this source written. We can reconstruct it because we guess that there was such a written source, but nobody has seen it, and it certainly in my mind is not a gospel. It's a very good and well-founded hypothesis. If it isn't gospel then what is it? It was a source of the sayings of Jesus, and it's another picture of Jesus. For example, whoever collected the sayings of Q wasn't interested in the death of Jesus, wasn't interested in the resurrection of Jesus. They thought the importance of Jesus was what he said, what he preached. Now other people thought, "it's not enough to have the sayings of Jesus. You have to tell about his death and his crucifixion and his resurrection, that's the important thing." Now somebody put that all together and we call it Matthew, and we call it Mark, and we call it Luke. But originally these are probably rather distinct pictures.


York's ancient origins The City of York ORIGIN OF YORK The Roman name for York was Eboracum, based on a native British name for the ancient site. It is thought that the root of the early name was Eburos, an Ancient British personal name, which suggests that the site was founded by someone called Eburos. An alternative view is that the name is based on the Ancient British word Eburos meaning Yew, a sacred Celtic tree from which the personal name Eburos derives. In Roman times there was a tribe in Gaul called the Eburorovices, who were the 'Warriors of the Yew Tree'. When the Anglo-Saxons arrived in the north from Germany and Denmark in the sixth century they made Eboracum the capital of Deira, a Northumbrian sub-kingdom. Eboracum was corrupted by Anglo-Saxon speech into Eoforwic meaning 'wild boar settlement'. The Anglo-Saxons confused the Celtic word 'Ebor' meaning yew tree with their own word 'Eofor' meaning 'wild boar'. In 865 AD the Danes captured the North and in 876 Halfdene the Dane made Eoforwic the capital of the Viking Kingdom of York . Later in 918 AD a mixed race of Norwegian-Irish Vikings settled at York and for many years York was subordinated to the Viking stronghold at Dublin. Viking influence can still be detected in the street names of York, where the suffix 'gate' as in Stonegate or Goodramgate derives from the Old Norse 'gata' meaning road or way. Stonegate follows the course of a Roman road through the city and Goodramgate is named after Guthrum, a Viking leader. Above: Bootham Bar and York Minster from an old postcard The Vikings interpreted Eoforwic, the Anglo-Saxon name for York as Jorvik. The change of the Saxon f to a Viking V occured in other words in the English language such as the Anglo Saxon word 'Seofan' which was changed by the Vikings into its modern form 'Seven'. In the late Viking period it is thought that the name Jorvik was shortened to something resembling its present form, York and in the medieval age the name York was generally used, although an independent form 'Yerk' is known to have existed at this time. One of the problems of studying York's name is that many early records are written in Latin and thus use the Roman name Eboracum in periods when Eoforwic or Jorvik were used in every day speech. Today the early forms of York's name are still well known and although the Viking Kingdom of York no longer exists, its natural successor Yorkshire - 'the county of York' still takes its name from this ancient city.

Which 12 century Cistercian abbey stood just outside Ripon?

Walking Into the Past at Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire — BucketTripper Walking Into the Past at Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire September 6, 2012 By Karen Warren Leave a Comment The ruins of Fountains Abbey (photo credit: Karen Warren, c 2012) Visiting Fountains Abbey is like peeling away layers of history. Are we exploring the 12th century Cistercian Abbey that became the wealthiest foundation in Europe, or the monastery that was plundered by Henry VIII, or the ruin that became part of an 18th century estate? Or are we just enjoying a walk in a 21st century park in the rolling North Yorkshire countryside? In reality, of course, it is all of these, and more. We visited on a sunny August morning when the park was full of visitors: families making the most of the school holidays, holiday makers and people enjoying a day off work. The park is huge – 800 acres in total – and it manages to remain peaceful while accommodating the crowds. Many visitors have stopped off at first base – piling into the adventure playground and the children’s exhibition area. A Wealthy Cistercian Monastery We pass the sign advertising forthcoming events at Fountains –  craft workshops, open air theatre and family activities – then head towards the abbey. It is an impressive sight, a great stone skeleton nestling in a valley. It can only hint at past glories, but I try to flesh it out in my imagination as we walk through the vast cellarium, where the lay brothers (whose labour brought wealth to the abbey while the monks studied and prayed) lived, ate and slept. It was a mostly silent order, so any sounds must have echoed eerily from the high vaulted ceiling. The ruins are a paradise for children, with steps and passageways everywhere, and the silence is punctuated by their shrieks as they run around and explore. We walk round the cloisters, used by the monks for exercise and meditation, as well as to store the annual harvest of wool that made the abbey so rich. The fleeces were sold to visiting merchants from Italy: even in the Middle Ages Fountains was a magnet for overseas visitors. Georgian water gardens (photo credit: Karen Warren, c2012) Outside the abbey, people are sunbathing or picnicking on the grass. These are the gardens of Studley Royal, landscaped in the 18th century with the ruined abbey as a focal point. We walk alongside the river, past woodland and towards the Georgian water gardens. It would have been a very different landscape in the Middle Ages: not just covered with sheep, but also used for mining and quarrying. UNESCO World Heritage Site The whole park is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, because the natural beauty of the Yorkshire countryside and the ruins of the abbey have been blended with the landscaped gardens to create a ‘harmonious whole.’ It is also a recognition that the grounds influenced later garden design across the whole of England. The crescent shaped pools of the water gardens are surrounded by the remains of temples and statues. Restoration work is taking place: a notice board tells us that a lot of ‘detective work’ is being done, to find out what the gardens were really like in the 18th century. The church is full of carved and painted animals (photo credit: Karen Warren, c2012) On to the mediaeval deer park, where the deer are keeping a low profile as this is the breeding season. Beyond is the High Gothic Victorian St Mary’s Church and the Jacobean Fountains Hall, which are both part of the UNESCO inscription. We spend some time inside the church, where we amuse ourselves by searching for carved and painted animals. Finally, we take a long last look at the gardens and the abbey in the distance before heading off home. Practicalities Fountains Abbey is around 4 miles from Ripon in North Yorkshire. Buses run regularly from Ripon between April and October, and there is a large car park if you prefer to drive. For the energetic, there is footpath access from Ripon. Guided tours are available in the summer. The property includes shops, restaurant and a tearoom.


What is the occupation of famous Hawaii resident ‘Dog’ Chapman and his wife Beth?

Dog the Bounty Hunter | Hawaii News and Island Information Hawaii News and Island Information State of Hawaii Sues “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Posted on July 13, 2016 by Damon Attorney General Doug Chin announced today that his office has filed petitions to enforce judgments against Da Kine Bail Bonds, Inc. (Da Kine) and Safety National Casualty Corporation (Safety) for forfeited bail bonds those companies failed to pay to the State of Hawaii (State). Click to read legal filing Da Kine owes the State thirty-five thousand five hundred dollars ($35,500) from 21 separate criminal cases. Duane “Dog” Chapman is the president and director of Da Kine. Safety is the surety that is obligated to pay if Da Kine defaults. Attorney General Doug Chin said “Bail bond companies promise to pay us when their clients skip court. Simply put, if they don’t pay we have to hunt down that money.” Bail is a financial arrangement that a bail bonding agency makes on behalf of a criminal defendant. A bail bonding agency works with the court to have a defendant released from jail pending trial in exchange for money or collateral. This collateral can be in the form of cash, assets, or a bond. The bail agency is then responsible for ensuring that the defendant arrives in court on the day of trial. If the defendant does not appear in court, the court may forfeit the bond and the entire bail amount must be paid to the court by the bail bonding agency. Today’s action against Da Kine and Safety resulted from a joint effort by the State Judiciary and the Department of the Attorney General to sue various bail bond companies in Hawaii for non-payment of forfeiture of bail bonds. Other bail bond companies are also being reviewed. Of the bail bond companies that the Judiciary and Attorney General have looked into, seven paid the Judiciary approximately seven-hundred thousand dollars ($700,000) upon receiving notice. Those companies are not subject to today’s action. A hearing date of August 17, 2016 has been set by the Circuit Court. Hearing dates for the Family Court and District Court have not yet been determined.

Which musical instrument was based on the Portuguese ‘draguinha’?

ATLAS of Plucked Instruments - Europe West Tube flamenco     guitar The flamenco guitar is usually quite similar in size and appearence to the classical      guitar (see guitars      early ). In general the difference will be that it is slightly      lighter and therefore sounds a bit sharper (less sustain). The typical flamenco guitar will have "golpeadors" - some         kind of protection (scratch plate) of the front, because part         of the playing is tapping with the right hand ringfinger on the         front. This scratch plate can be bright white, or nowadays just         clear plastic. The placing of the golpeadors is not standard :         sometimes more around the top of the soundhole, and sometimes         on both sides (left and right). To make the guitar lighter, friction pegs were prefered         to the normal guitar machines, but are now rare. The sides and         back of the body are often made of lighter coloured wood, like         cypress (or sycamore). The playing is usually quite virtuous, with left hand pulling-off         and hammering-on for superfast passages, and right hand rolling         fingers, damping with the hand, tapping on the front, etc. Often a capodastre is used, to ease the use of open strings      when playing in other modes to ease the singers voice. Flamenco is a style of singing and dancing, which      seems to have origins in Indian ragas, but also with lots of Arabian      influence. For more information about Spanish instruments, see Tamborileros (in Spanish). Tube guitarro     / guitarrico The guitarro is a small sized instrument with the shape of a guitar,         but not like a requinto, and more like a cavaquinho or ukulele. The guitarro is used in the areas         of Aragon, La Mancha, Andalusia and Murcia, and on the Baleares.         They all belong to the same type, but there are small local variaties and much depends on the maker. Sometimes it is called guitarrico (in Aragon) or tiple (on Menorca); on Palma de Mallorca : guitarró Mallorqui. The guitarro is made like a miniature guitar, and properly varnished, not rustic like many ukuleles. The fretboard is flat with the front. Often the top of the front         has an overlay of different wood. It can have tuning machines         or tuning pegs from the back. Although originally the strings were made of gut,         nowadays nylon is used. The guitarro may have just 4 or 5 single strings, but         sometimes the 3 middle courses are double. The tuning is often like a guitar/ukulele : b' f#' d'' a'' e'', or : d" g" c" e" a". See for the local varieties in Spain : Tamborileros ,         and for the Baleares : see Musicasa . guitarrico Tube bandurria The bandurria is a small mandolin-like instrument,      but differently tuned, and used for the popular Rondalla music. The bandurria can also be found in other countries : mainly in      South America, but surprisingly also on the Philippines (see S.E.Asia ). The bandurria is made like        a guitar, but in a teardrop shape, with a flat back. The neck is very short and the strings run over a saddle on the        glued-on bridge (in guitar-style), but then continue to a metal        stringholder on the edge of the body. It has 6 double metal courses, and is tuned in 5-5-5-5-5      (frets): g#g# c'#c'# f'#f'# b'b' e''e'' a''a'' It is the smallest instrument of the Rondalla group,      which also includes a (normal 6-string) guitar, a standing      bass and a laud (bigger, and tuned an octave lower than      the bandurria - see under). Playing is with a plectrum, mainly playing the melody      lines.   Tube laud The laud is the bigger size bandurria,      used to play in Rondalla music. The shape is very typical for this instrument.      A similar instrument is played on the P


What was the title of the only UK number 1 hit single by B Bumble and the Stingers?

B. Bumble & The Stingers on Apple Music To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music. Biography This short-lived act was one of several US acts formed by pop svengali Kim Fowley (b. 21 July 1942, Manila, the Philippines) as an outlet for his production/songwriting talents at Rendezvous Records. Their 1961 release, ‘Bumble Boogie’ (featuring Ernie Freeman at the piano), an adaptation of Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s ‘The Flight Of The Bumble Bee’, reached number 21 in the US chart. It was, however, the following year’s ‘Nut Rocker’ (with pianist Lincoln Mayorga) that brought them lasting fame. Although it only reached number 23 in the USA, this propulsive instrumental, an irreverent boogie-woogie reading of Pyotr Ill’yich Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite, fared much better in the UK where it soared to number 1 and, 10 years later, again reached the Top 20 on reissue. The band - B. Bumble (who at this juncture was R.C. Gamble (b. Spiro, Oklahoma, USA), Terry Anderson (b. Harrison, Arkansas, USA; guitar), Jimmy King (rhythm guitar) and Don Orr (drums)) - completed a UK tour in 1962. Although only compilations are available featuring variations on the same theme, ‘Bumble Boogie’, ‘Apple Knocker’ and ‘Bee Hive’, their one major original hit remains ‘Nut Rocker’ - it is set for immortality.

Buxom girlfriend’s defense leads to murder.   Add your own Twitter style synopsis (140 characters only!) in the comments box The show opens in a workhouse, where boys line up to be fed their daily portion of gruel, wishing for something more, “Food, Glorious Food”. As Mr Bumble and Widow Corney teach the boys to be thankful to God, young Oliver Twist is dared to ask for more food. Bumble is shocked by the request (“Oliver”) and decides that the boy is trouble and needs to leave the workhouse, selling him to an undertaker, “Boy For Sale”, not before suggesting his amorous advances to Widow Corney, “I Shall Scream”. At the undertakers parlour he is warned against behaving badly as Mr Sowerberry tells him “That’s Your Funeral”. Alone, Oliver wishes for a happier life and sings “Where is Love?”. He decides to run away to London, and dashes off in the middle of the night. As he arrives in bustling Victorian London he is greeted by the Artful Dodger, a boy his age who earns a living by pick pocketing on the streets. Dodger introduces him to his way of life and says ‘Consider Yourself’ one of the gang. He leads him back to see Fagin, the crook who runs the thieves kitchen. In Fagin’s den, Oliver is surprised at the number of boys working for him. They teach him that “You’ve Got to Pick a Pocket or Two” in order to survive. Whilst Fagin looks after the boys, they are all under the watchful eye of sinister robber Bill Skyes, whose girlfriend Nancy is sympathetic to the gang. Nancy tells Oliver that “It’s a Fine Life” if he is happy to have nothing. The boys are playful towards Nancy and her friend Bet, telling them that “I’d Do Anything”. Fagin has enough of their games and send them out to the streets to pick pocket, getting them to bring back whatever they can find, but “Be Back Soon”. Whilst on the rob Oliver gets into trouble when he makes a failed attempt at trying to take Mr Brownlow’s wallet. He tries to escape but is captured by the police. Act II opens at the Three Cripples Arms where Nancy works as a barmaid. She sings an old drinking song “Oom pa Pa” to entertain the guests. Bill Sykes arrives and reminds everyone why they should fear “My Name”. He is furious to hear that Oliver has been captured and concocts a plan with Fagin and Dodger to get him back. Alone, Nancy admits that she will do anything for Bill, despite his violent nature “As Long As He Needs Me”. Over at Mr Brownlow’s house in Bloomsbury, Oliver is being cared for by the Doctor and Housemaid who sings “Where is Love? (reprise)” to him. They discuss his condition and send him out to run an errand. Oliver is taken in by the beauty of Bloomsbury that opens out in front of him, “Who Will Buy?” As the crowds disperse, Nancy appears to try and get Oliver back and they kidnap him, taking him back to the thieves kitchen. Nancy argues with Bill about the plan (“It’s a Fine Life Reprise”) and he beats her. Fagin questions his future and whether or not he should continue life as a thief, (“Reviewing the Situation”). Over at the workhouse, Mr Bumble and the now married Mrs Bumble discover a locket that belonged to Oliver’s mother Agnes. They realise that he may have wealthy connections, and journey to find the boy (“Oliver (reprise)”. Mr Brownlow throws the pair out, but recognises the picture in the locket to be his daughter, meaning that Oliver is in fact his grandson. He swears to find the boy and look after him for good. Nancy visits Mr Brownlow and tells him she will bring Oliver to him that night on London Bridge. She knows she is going against Bill’s wishes, but wants to he


Which country is bordered by Italy, Austria, Croatia and Hungary?

Snapshot of Europe: Hungary Hungary Map Courtesy CIA World Factbook The Republic of Hungary (Magyar Köztársaság listen?) or Hungary (Magyarország listen?) is a landlocked country in Central Europe, bordered by Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia. It is known locally as the Country of the Magyars.   Tradition holds that the Country of the Magyars (Hungary) was founded by Árpád, who led the Magyars into the Pannonian plains at the end of the 9th century. The Kingdom of Hungary was established in 1000 by King St. Stephen I. Initially the history of Hungary was developed in a triangle with that of Poland and Bohemia, with the many liaisons with Popes and Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. Hungary was partially demolished with a great loss of life in 1241–1242 by Mongol (Tatar) armies of Batu Khan. Gradually Hungary under the rule of the dynasty of the Árpáds turned into a large, independent kingdom which formed a distinct Central European culture with ties to greater West European civilisation. Matthias Corvinus ruled Hungary from 1458 to 1490. He strengthened Hungary and its government. Under his rule, Hungary (notably the northern parts, some of which are in Slovakia today) became an artistic and cultural center of Europe during the Renaissance. Hungarian culture influenced others, for example the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Together with Polish and Czech lands, Hungary formed the Visegrád group of nations. Today an alliance of the same name exists again with the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland.   Hungarian independence ended with the Ottoman conquest at the beginning of the 16th century; the parts of Hungary that were not conquered by the Ottomans were annexed by Austria (the rulers of which were Hungarian kings at the same time) in the West, and became the independent Principality of Transylvania in the East, where thus Hungarian statedom was preserved. After 150 years, Austria and her Christian allies retook also the territory of today's Hungary by the end of the 17th century from the Ottoman Empire. Thanks to the victories against Austria by the French-Italian coalition (the Battle of Solferino, 1859) and Prussia (Battle of Königgratz, 1866), Hungary would eventually, in 1867, manage to become an autonomous part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, until the Empire's collapse following World War I. Hungary separated from Austria on October 31, 1918. In March 1919 the communists joined the government, and in April, Béla Kun proclaimed the Hungarian Soviet Republic. This government proved to be short lived; the Romanian army invaded, the communist forces were defeated and the Soviet Republic was toppled on August 6, 1919. Rightist military forces, led by the former Austro-Hungarian Admiral Miklós Horthy, entered Budapest in the wake of the Romanian army's depature and filled the vacuum of state power. In January 1920, elections were held for a unicameral assembly, and Admiral Horthy was subsequently elected Regent. In June, the Treaty of Trianon was signed, fixing Hungary's borders. Horthy made an alliance with Nazi Germany in the 1930s, in the hope of revising the territorial losses that had followed World War I. Hungary was rewarded by Germany with historical Hungarian territories belonging to Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Romania, and took an active part in World War II. However, in October 1944, Hitler replaced Horthy with the Hungarian Nazi collaborator Ferenc Szálasi and his Arrow Cross Party in order to avert Hungary's defection to the Allied side. Following the fall of Nazi Germany, Hungary became part of the Soviet area of influence and was appropriated into a communist state following a short period of democracy in 1946–1947. After 1948 Communist leader Mátyás Rákosi established a Stalinist rule in the country, which was barely bearable for the war torn country. This led to the 1956 Hungarian Revolution/revolt and announced withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact were met with military intervention by the Soviet Union and the deposition and execution of the reform-minded communist pri


Which town stands at the confluence of the rivers Thames and Kennet?

On the river On the river On the river   Waterways have always been important to Reading. The town owes its existence to its location on the Thames and the Kennet Rivers, and has seven miles of unspoilt river frontage. The centre of the town is close to the confluence of the two rivers with the town’s history and present revolving around them. The River Kennet The Kennet flows through the centre of today’s town centre, bisecting the Oracle and providing riverside dining opportunities.  It then flows past the ruins of Reading Abbey on its journey east with a weir and pumping station (now a restaurant) before it meets the Thames. The River Thames The Thames is a few hundred metres north of Reading town centre, beyond the Great Western Mainline. A short walk under the station subway and across Vastern Road brings you to the south bank. The new pedestrian bridge links you to leafy Caversham and beyond. Make the most of the rivers Today, both rivers play an important part in the town’s leisure time.  Rowing clubs dot the banks of the Thames, narrow boats and other craft are up and down and through the locks; The Thames Path takes walks through the heart of Reading while there are great walks to pubs and cafes both east and west of Reading on both the Kennet and Thames. River cruises are available from near Caversham Bridge on the Thames. The annual Waterfest celebrates the town’s water heritage Caversham Court Gardens is an historic Thameside garden listed on the English Heritage Gardens Register. Regenerated thanks to a major Heritage Lottery Grant, the 17th and 19th Century features of the garden have come back to life. Christchurch Bridge is the newest bridge over the whole stretch of the Thames. Linking leafy Caversham to the town centre, this pedestrian and cycle bridge is winning architectural awards. You can play bowls on an island in the middle of the Thames Join a canoe club to see the town from the river Thames Valley Park is a popular recreation area east of the city centre Sonning Village is a pleasant 4 mile walk east of Reading along the river. Stop at Sonning Lock for coffee and cake on the island. As part of a weekend break, a leisurely afternoon cruise to nearby Henley, Mapledurham or Beale Park is a highlight, or enjoy the action of the various regattas, canoe races and other events which are a regular feature of the summer months. You may even make the river your base for the weekend by renting a cruiser or barge for a few nights and exploring the best of the Thames from the water.

Which was the first European country to be led by a president?

James Monroe - U.S. Presidents - HISTORY.com Google Early Years James Monroe was born on April 28, 1758, in Westmoreland County, Virginia , to Spence Monroe (1727-74), a farmer and carpenter, and Elizabeth Jones Monroe (1730-74). In 1774, at age 16, Monroe entered the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. He cut his college studies short in 1776 to join the Continental Army and fight for independence from Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). Did You Know? Monrovia, the capital of the West African country Liberia, is named after James Monroe. As president, Monroe supported the work of the American Colonization Society to create a home for freed African slaves in Liberia. During the war, Monroe saw action in battles in New York , New Jersey and Pennsylvania . He was wounded at the Battle of Trenton, New Jersey, in 1776, and was with General George Washington (1732-99) and his troops at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, during the difficult winter of 1777 to 1778. During his time with the army, Monroe became acquainted with Thomas Jefferson , then the governor of Virginia. In 1780, Monroe began studying law under Jefferson, who would become his political mentor and friend. (Over a decade later, in 1793, Monroe bought a farm, named Highland, located next to Monticello , Jefferson’s Charlottesville, Virginia, estate.) The Virginia Politician Following his military service, Monroe embarked on a career in politics. In 1782, he became a delegate in the Virginia Assembly and the following year was chosen as a Virginia representative to the Congress of the Confederation, America’s governing body from 1781 to 1789. In 1786, Monroe married Elizabeth Kortright (1768-1830), the teenage daughter of a New York merchant. The couple had two daughters and a son who died as an infant. While in Congress, Monroe supported the efforts of fellow Virginia politician (and the future fourth U.S. president) James Madison (1751-1836) to create a new U.S. constitution. However, once written, Monroe felt the document gave too much power to the government and did not sufficiently protect individual rights. Despite Monroe’s opposition, the Constitution was ratified in 1789, and in 1790 he took a seat in the U.S. Senate, representing Virginia. As a senator, Monroe sided with Madison, then a U.S. congressman, and Jefferson, then the U.S. secretary of state, both of whom were against greater federal control at the cost of state and individual rights. In 1792, Monroe joined forces with the two men to found the Democratic-Republican Party, which opposed Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804) and the Federalists who were fighting for increased federal power. A Leader at Home and Abroad In 1794, President George Washington (1732-99) appointed Monroe as minister to France, in an effort to help improve relations with that nation. At the time, France and Great Britain were at war. Monroe had some initial success in strengthening Franco-American ties; however, relations soured with the November 1794 signing of the controversial Jay’s Treaty, an agreement between the U.S. and Britain that regulated commerce and navigation. Monroe, who was critical of the treaty, was released from his post by Washington in 1796. Monroe resumed his political career in 1799, when he became governor of Virginia. He held this office for three years until President Thomas Jefferson requested that Monroe return to France to help negotiate the purchase of the port of New Orleans . In France, Monroe learned that French leader Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) wanted to sell the entire Louisiana Territory (the land extending between the Mississippi River and Rocky Mountains and the Gulf of Mexico to present-day Canada), not only New Orleans, for $15 million. Monroe and the U.S. minister to France, Robert R. Livingston, did not have time to gain presidential approval for such a large purchase. Instead, they approved and signed the Louisiana Purchase agreement themselves in 1803 and effectively doubled the size of the United States. Monroe, who garnered acclaim for the Lo

Which musical instrument represents the duck?

Peter and the Wolf Introduction by Phil Tulga Peter and the Wolf - a musical story by Sergei Prokofiev - Welcome to my introduction on Peter and the Wolf.  It includes:1) background on Prokofiev [pruh-COFFEE-ehf], 2) musical themes for each character, 3) multimedia activities that integrate Prokofiev's themes with other areas of the curriculum, 4) Prokofiev's original story that he wrote in 1936, and 5) my follow-up writing prompt and story map/sequence .   So take a couple of minutes to read about Sergei Prokofiev, hear the characters' musical themes, and enjoy reading the classic musical tale, Peter and the Wolf. Background Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) was born in the village of Sontsovka in the Donets region of the Ukraine.  He was a child prodigy on the order of Mozart, composing for piano at age five and writing an opera at nine.  His first teacher was his mother, a talented pianist.  He attended the St. Petersburg Conservatory from 1904 to 1914, winning the Anton Rubinstein prize for best student pianist when he graduated.  He traveled widely, spending many years in London and Paris, and toured the United States five times. In 1936, Prokofiev returned to settle permanently in the Soviet Union.  One of his first compositions after his return was Peter and the Wolf, written in just two weeks in April of 1936 for a children's theater in Moscow.  Prokofiev invented the story and wrote the narration himself, drawing on memories of his own childhood.  He constructed the music as a child's introduction to the orchestra, with each character in the story represented by a different instrument or group of instruments: Peter by the strings, the bird by the flute, the duck by the oboe, the cat by the clarinet, the wolf by the horn section, and so on. Peter and the Wolf was an immediate success and has been loved by children all over the world.  The music is sophisticated enough to be enjoyed by adults, even through repeated hearings.  And its moral  you can't be a hero if you don't take risks  delights children as it must have cheered the composer. Musical Themes Prokofiev's Original Story Early one morning, Peter opened the gate and walked out into the big green meadow. On a branch of a big tree sat a little bird, Peter's friend. "All is quiet" chirped the bird happily. Just then a duck came waddling round. She was glad that Peter had not closed the gate and decided to take a nice swim in the deep pond in the meadow. Seeing the duck, the little bird flew down upon on the grass, settled next to her and shrugged his shoulders. "What kind of bird are you if you can't fly?" said he. To this the duck replied "What kind of bird are you if you can't swim?" and dived into the pond. They argued and argued, the duck swimming in the pond and the little bird hopping along the shore. Suddenly, something caught Peter's attention. He noticed a cat crawling through the grass. The cat thought; "That little bird is busy arguing, I'll just grab him. Stealthily, the cat crept towards him on her velvet paws. "Look out!" shouted Peter and the bird immediately flew up into the tree, while the duck quacked angrily at the cat, from the middle of the pond. The cat walked around the tree and thought, "Is it worth climbing up so high?  By the time I get there the bird will have flown away." Just then grandfather came out. He was upset because Peter had gone in the meadow. "It's a dangerous place. If a wolf should come out of the forest, then what would you do?" But Peter paid no attention to his grandfather's words. Boys like him are not afraid of wolves. But grandfather took Peter by the hand, led him home and locked the gate. No sooner had Peter gone, than a big grey wolf came out of the forest. In a twinkling the cat climbed up the tree. The duck quacked, and in her excitement jumped out of the pond. But no matter how hard the duck tried to run, she couldn't escape the wolf. He was getting nearer, nearer, catching up with her. Then he got her, and with one gulp, swallowed her. And now, this is how things stood: the cat was sitting on one branch, t

Contents Background Personality Grandpa seems a bit rough, but it is because of the fact that he is living in Russia 's cold winter with a dangerous wolf running about and a grandson who thinks he can best the creature with a popgun. Appearances Make Mine Music He only appears toward the beginning of the segment.

On which Scottish island group is the Ring of Brogar stone circle?

The Ring of Brodgar, Stenness, Orkney Nomination of The         Heart of Neolithic Orkney for inclusion in the World Heritage       List If          one iconic site has come to represent Orkney's ancient heritage, it must       surely be the Ring of Brodgar. Part of the Heart        of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site, the Ring of Brodgar is found in the West Mainland parish of Stenness . It stands on an eastward-sloping plateau on the         Ness of Brodgar - a thin strip of land separating the Harray and        Stenness lochs. Because the interior of         the Ring of Brodgar has never been fully excavated, or scientifically         dated, the monument's actual age remains uncertain. However, it is generally         assumed to have been erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC, and was, therefore, the last of the great Neolithic monuments built on the Ness. The stone ring was built in a true circle, almost 104         metres wide. Although it is thought to have originally contained 60 megaliths, this figure is not based on archaeological evidence. Today, only 27          stones remain. ( see Figure 1 ). In contrast to the giant megaliths that make up the Standing Stones of Stenness ,         the Brodgar stones are much smaller, varying in height         from 2.1 metres (7 feet) to a maximum of 4.7 metres (15ft 3in). With a diameter of 103.6 metres (340 ft),         the Brodgar ring is the third largest stone circle in the British         Isles. Covering an area of 8,435 square metres         (90,790 square feet), it is beaten only by the outer ring of         stones at Avebury and the Greater Ring at Stanton Drew in England.         Incidentally, the Brodgar ring is exactly the same size as Avebury's         two inner rings. Like the nearby Standing Stones of Stenness, the Ring of Brodgar has been classed as a henge . Enclosed by a massive         rock-cut ditch , it has two entrance causeways, one to the north-west        and the other to the south-east. These two causeways differ in size - the south-eastern one just over one metre in width, compared to the 3.4m wide north-western causeway. However, strictly speaking, Brodgar can't be called a henge, because it lacks the external bank of a true henge. Heart of Neolithic Orkney Any visitor to         the ring will immediately see why the Ness of Brodgar was considered   the ideal place to construct such a great ceremonial monument. The stone circle is practically in the centre of a         massive natural "cauldron" formed by the hills of the         surrounding landscape. Today, the site is accentuated by the water of the lochs, but that was not always the case. In fact, when the ring was erected, between 2500BC and 200BC, the Stenness loch didn't exist. Instead the area was wet, marshy bog, surrounding pools of water or lochans. Click here for more details. The sea only breached the narrow landbridge at the Brig o' Waithe in Stenness, filling the loch was salt water, around 1500BC - 500 to 1,000 years after the ring was built. The Ring of Brodgar was          part of an enormous prehistoric ritual complex that incorporated         the Stones o' Stenness, approximately one mile to the south-east,         and, probably, the Ring of Bookan to the north-west. A short distance to the east of the Brodgar ring         is the solitary standing stone now known as the Comet          Stone . The area surrounding the Ring of Brodgar, and the entire Ness, is rich with         archaeology - including four massive mounds thought to have         been created between 2500 BC and 1500 BC. Click     here for more details . Brodgar or Brogar? When         it comes to the Brodgar name - it is no wonder the visitor is often   confused. It appears on some maps and accounts as Broga

Who is missing from this musical quintet: Keeble, Kemp, Norman, Kemp and…?

Spandau Ballet Tickets, Tour Dates 2017 & Concerts – Songkick Parr Hall Warrington, UK Biography Having sold millions of records worldwide, Spandau Ballet (from London, UK) remains one of the most recognizable groups from the British New Romantic era of the 1980s, with a popularity that endures to this day. Originating as a punk band called The Makers back in 1976, school friends Tony Hadley (lead vocals), John Keeble (drums), Steve Norman (saxophone, guitar), Gary Kemp (guitar) and his younger brother Martin Kemp (bass) changed their name to Spandau Ballet in 1979 and embarked upon a career that would see them become one of the most famous pop acts of their generation. They went on to have ten top-ten singles in the UK, with hits such as ‘Through the Barricades’, ‘True’ (which reached number one), and of course their decade-defining classic, ‘Gold’. Their albums ‘True’, ‘Parade’ and ‘Through the Barricades’ all achieved platinum status in their home country, whilst their earlier works, ‘Journeys to Glory’ and ‘Diamond’ were certified gold. Their sleek sound and devotion to fashion led them (along with their contemporaries Duran Duran, Sade and Ultravox), to be heralded as the pioneers of the New Romantic movement, and during the height of their fame they were asked to perform at Live Aid - the biggest concert the world has ever seen. Throughout the 1980s, they could do no wrong. Unfortunately, underlying tensions between the band came to a head in 1990 and led to a bitter break-up, and after a failed lawsuit in January 1999 against Gary Kemp by Hadley, Keeble and Norman, relationships between the old friends seemed irretrievably damaged. Instead they would each focus on their solo projects; the Kemp brothers embarked on successful acting careers, Steve Norman began performing with various house music producers in Ibiza, whilst John Keeble played drums for Tony Hadley, who released three solo albums. However, on the 25th March 2009, the band invited the press on board the HMS Belfast (an old naval cruiser permanently moored next to Tower Bridge, London, UK, and the undeniably cool venue of an early Spandau gig) and officially announced their reunion. The response from their fans was overwhelming - an evening scheduled for the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena in London, UK, had to be extended into a three-night event after tickets sold out in 20 minutes. These first reunion shows were so well-received that the band was awarded Best Comeback of 2009 in the Virgin Media Awards. They have since played throughout Australia with New Wave stars Tears for Fears, appeared at the Isle of Wight Festival in June 2010, and plan to play more UK arenas in the future. Live reviews Spandau Ballet I've been a Spandau fan since right back in the early days, but was too young to see them in those crazy days of the early 80s. I was going to see them, for the first time, in late '88 but the gig was postponed & my mum cancelled our tickets - all because of the film The Krays! After the rescheduled gig the band split, and I believed I would never have the opportunity to see them play live. As soon as I heard the boys were touring the UK this year I snapped up a ticket, and with a mixture of nerves & excitement I eagerly counted down the days. Finally the UK leg of their current tour started last night at Sheffield Arena, and it turned out to be a night of nostalgia & fun which actually fulfilled two desires of mine - not only did we get Spandau on stage, we had Rusty Egan DJ'ing as their support act. It was like a Blitz reunion - but sadly missing the new romantic fashion & style. With a playlist filled with electronic classics, & inspirations, and with a nice little Steel City themed section, Rusty's set had me singing along & getting into the mood. When Spandau Ballet finally came on stage it was like I was a teenager all over again. Singing the hits & new songs the boys entertained & thrilled us. With a lovely Blitz segment, dedicated to Steve Strange, we took a headlong rush down memory lane & back again. I won't spoil things by giving away too muc

What was the name of the oil tanker wrecked off the Isles of Scilly in 1967?

Shipwrecks Around The Isles of Scilly Shipwrecks Around The Isles of Scilly The Isles of Scilly comprise a beautiful and enchanting archipelago, but alongside their attractions lurk menace and danger. This is attested to by the many hundreds of vessels that have foundered on the reefs and rocks over many centuries,. There are 530 registered wrecks at the Isles of Scilly , possibly the most for any group of isles in the world. The stories of Scillonian shipwrecks are peppered with bizarre and tragic coincidences and loaded with superlatives: the greatest, the first, the most deadly, the largest. The longest wooden ship ever built, 'Wyoming', met her end here. Wrecked on 24th March 1924 , this sail collier, a schooner, sank in a north-eastern gale with the loss of all 13 hands including the captain. 15 years previously the world's largest ever, pure sailing ship, the 395 feet in length Thomas W. Lawson had been driven on to the Hellweather's Reef off the uninhabited island of Annet in a severe winter gale. The 'Thomas W. Lawson' had set sail from Philadelphia for London on November 27th 1907 , with 2.5 million gallons of paraffin oil. Just a 2 weeks later, with the ship broken in two, 15 of the 17 crewmen had perished along with the Scillonian pilot, William Hicks. Despite wearing their lifebelts, the seamen had been swamped by the thick oil layer, the smashing seas, and the schooner's rigging. The only survivors were the Captain, George W Dow and engineer, Edward Rowe from Boston. In 1969 , the wreck was relocated when it was found that the two sections were almost a quarter mile apart. With regard to loss of life, several of the worst maritime disasters in British history occurred on Scilly; one, known as the Victorian Titanic, was the wrecking of S.S. 'Schiller' in fog in May 1875 . This German ocean liner was one of the largest vessels of her time at 3,421 tonnes. She plied her trade across the Atlantic Ocean, carrying passengers between New York and Hamburg for the German Transatlantic Steam Navigation Line. She became notorious on 7th May 1875 , when she hit the Retarrier Ledges, causing her to sink with the loss of most of her crew and passengers, in all, 335 fatalities. Many of her lifeboats were unserviceable, and most of those that weren't were crushed when the ship's funnel broke off. As a mark of gratitude to the great assistance that the islanders gave to the mostly German people on-board, orders were given in both World Wars to spare the The Isles of Scilly from being attacked. There was similarly huge loss of life on 13th June 1743 . The entire ship's company of 276 - crew, soldiers and passengers - all perished when 'Hollandia', a ship of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), was wrecked on Annet on her maiden voyage. The wreck was discovered in 1971 by a London attorney, Rex Cowan. The worst catastrophic event, which impelled the Board of the Admiralty to institute a competition for a more precise method to determine longitude, has its 300th anniversary this year. It was in October 1707 that HMS 'Association', the flagship of Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell, sank on Gilstone Reef, with the loss of her entire crew of about 800 men, along with three other ships of the 21 strong fleet: HMS 'Firebrand', 'Eagle' and 'Romney'. In all, approximately 2,000 men died that night. There was another Eagle lost on 18th January, 1848 , a Glasgow schooner which struck first on the Crim in fog, then several other rocks and finally the Bishop before sinking. There have also been two ships called 'Minnehaha' wrecked on Scilly. The first was a cargo barque of 845 tonnes, bringing guano from the Peruvian port of Callao to Dublin, which was wrecked off Peninnis Head, St. Mary's on 18th January, 1874 , having been at sea for 14 months. The second 'Minnehaha', which went aground on the eastern side of Scilly Rock in April 1910 , was an altogether grander affair, being a 13,443-ton first class ocean liner built by Harland and Wolff, launched in 1900 . This liner was re-floated in May, after its cargo of cars, pianos and steers had be
