When Corporation Tax was first introduced in 1965, what was the basic rate? Was it 20%, 30% or 40% ?

Income Tax Income Tax Income Tax What is Income Tax? Income Tax is the principal form of direct personal taxation in the UK. It takes the form of a proportion of a person's earnings, which is collected by HM Revenue & Customs and passed to the Treasury. Income Tax was previously collected by the Inland Revenue, but in April 2005, Inland Revenue merged with HM Customs and Excise Departments to form the present HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). The main forms of income that are liable to Income Tax are earnings from employment and self-employment, retirement pensions, profits from business, income from property, interest on savings and dividends from investments. It is also payable on Jobseeker's Allowance and tips and bonuses. Deductions for Income Tax are usually made "at source": that is, they are deducted by the paying authority (the employer) and passed to HMRC without ever reaching the individual. Self-employed people, however, must assess their own tax liabilities and make any necessary payments to the taxation authorities themselves. The types of income exempt from Income Tax are most means-tested benefits, employer or employee pension contributions, student grants, loans or scholarships, and earnings from certain types of saving products, such as National Savings Certificates and Individual Savings Accounts. UK residents are allowed to earn or receive a certain amount of taxable income each year tax-free. This is known as a 'Personal Allowance'. A Blind Person's Allowance may also be added to the Personal Allowance for those registered blind. For people under 65, the Income Tax personal allowance (the amount you can earn before you pay tax) increased to £9,440 in April 2013. For people over 65, related allowances froze in April 2013. From 2014-15, taxpayers will receive a new Personal Tax Statement, telling them how much Income Tax and National Insurance they have paid and what their money is being spent on.   Background Income Tax was the first tax in British history to be levied directly on people's earnings. It was introduced in 1799 by the then Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger, as a temporary measure to cover the cost of the Napoleonic Wars. Today, it remains a temporary tax, which expires on April 5 each year, and has to be renewed as a provision in the annual Finance Bill. The Provisional Collection of Taxes Act 1913 permits the Government to continue to collect Income Tax for up to four months after the expiry of the measure, until the Finance Bill becomes law. Deduction at source was introduced in 1803 by Henry Addington. At this time, the amount charged was reduced from the original rate of 10 per cent on incomes in excess of £60 per annum, but the earnings threshold was widened to double the size of the liable population. Income Tax was formally repealed in 1816, a year after the Battle of Waterloo, but it was reintroduced in 1842 by Sir Robert Peel to deal with a massive public deficit. At this time, it was levied only on the very rich, and it remained so for many years. In 1874, it contributed only £6 million of Government revenues of £77 million. Income Tax rose dramatically in the early 20th Century. A new range of taxes and rates was introduced in 1907 by Herbert Asquith. In 1909, an alternative to Income Tax for high levels of earnings, called the "Surtax" or "Super Tax" was introduced. Super Tax survived until 1973, when it was replaced with the Higher Rate of Income Tax. By 1918, the standard rate rose to 30 per cent, which brought in £257 million per annum, on top of £36 million from Super Tax. Moreover, by 1930, 10 million Britons were liable for Income Tax. Income Tax was extended to a larger proportion of the population and its rates increased again in 1945, to pay for the Second World War effort. The current Pay As You Earn (PAYE) system for deducting tax at source was introduced in 1944, replacing the previous system of annual or six-monthly collection. The "tax code", telling employers the proportion of income to be deducted, and the P45 form was introduced alongside PAYE. Throughout the

Related top topics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ordnance Survey Wales Ruabon ( Welsh : Rhiwabon) is a village and community in the county borough of Wrexham in Wales with a population of 2,400 with more than 80% of the population having been born in Wales and 13.6% speak Welsh [1] . It also has a thriving secondary school called Ysgol Rhiwabon . The name "Rhiwabon" comes from "Rhiw Fabon", "Rhiw" being the Welsh word for "hill" and "Fabon" being a mutation from St Mabon, the original church name, of earlier, Celtic origin (see Mabon )." An older English spelling, Rhuabon, can sometimes be seen Contents 14 External links Early history There is evidence that a settlement existed in Ruabon in the Bronze Age . In 1898 building works in the centre of Ruabon exposed a cist or stone urn containing cremated human remains dating from 2000 years BC . In 1917 the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow was discovered on the playing fields of Ruabon Grammar School which contained human remains, a flint arrowhead and a bronze axe. Overlooking Ruabon is Y Gardden, an ancient hill fort surrounded by circular ditches, dating back to the Iron Age . The old parish The clock and tower of St. Mary's Parish Church The ancient parish of Ruabon (derived from the Welsh Rhiw Fabon, hillside of Mabon , a local Welsh saint), was made up of the townships of: Ruabon (which also included the hamlets of Belan , Bodylltyn, Hafod and Rhuddallt); Cristionydd Cynrig (also known as Y Dref Fawr or Cristionydd Kenrick in English ); Coed Cristionydd; Cristionydd Fechan (also known as Y Dref Fechan or Dynhinlle Uchaf); Dinhinlle Isaf; Morton Anglicorum (the “English Morton” or Morton Below the dyke); and Morton Wallichorum (the “Welsh Morton” or Morton Above the dyke). In 1844, Coed Cristionydd and part of Cristionydd Cynrig became part of the new parish of Rhosymedre ; and Cristionydd Fechan and Moreton Above became part of the new parish of Rhosllannerchrugog . Later in 1879, Dynhinlle Uchaf and the remainder of Cristionydd Cynrig became the new parish of Penycae . Ruabon was in the historic county of Denbighshire , and between 1889 and 1974 was administered by Denbighshire County Council . From 1974 until 1996 it was administered as part of Clwyd . From 1996 it has been administered as part of the County Borough of Wrexham. Wild Wales In the 1850s the English writer George Borrow toured Wales and wrote an account of his journey in the book “ Wild Wales ”: “Rhiwabon … a large village about half way between Wrexham and Llangollen . I observed in this place nothing remarkable, but an ancient church. My way from hence lay nearly west. I ascended a hill, from the top of which I looked down into a smoky valley. I descended, passing by a great many collieries , in which I observed grimy men working amidst smoke and flame. At the bottom of the hill near a bridge I turned round. A ridge to the east particularly struck my attention; it was covered with dusky edifices , from which proceeded thundering sounds, and puffs of smoke. A woman passed me going towards Rhiwabon; I pointed to the ridge and asked its name; I spoke English. The woman shook her head and replied "Dim Saesneg" (English: "No English"). "This is as it should be", said I to myself; "I now feel I am in Wales." The Wynns of Wynnstay The Williams-Wynn family were major landowners in North and Mid Wales and also across the English border. For centuries they had a great influence on the political, cultural, social and literary life of Wales. Although the family owned several houses throughout Wales, the seat of the family was at Wynnstay in Ruabon. The fifth baronet became so powerful that he was given the unofficial title of “ Prince of Wales ”. Wynnstay had passed into the possession of the Wynn family (as they were then known) through marriage. The e

Although multiple elements of marketing were used to build and develop brands, the major instrument of the 20th century was the advertising campaign, initially in print but later in broadcast media. Towards the end of the 20th century, however, we see the phenomenon of brands being built to global scale and recognition whose primary instrument of brand building is the internet and its multi media applications. This gives a selection of some of the more iconic brands of the 20th and early 21st century. It is a representative selection rather than an exhaustive or definitive selection. Understanding the development of these brands, and the campaigns that enabled their development will assist in an understanding of modern marketing and its application. The selection is presented below in various categories: Automotive and Petroleum Industry Throughout the 20th century, the automotive industry has been in the vanguard of global brand building. The industry has also been one of the higher spenders on advertising, which has resulted in many memorable brand development and advertising campaigns. Here are a few successful car brands: BMW Http://www.bmw.com/ BMW—Bayerische Motoren Werke—is a fine example of a powerful brand whose core value is the driving performance of its range of vehicles. Its enduring brand slogan is aligned, and in tune, with its core value of high performance engineering. The company that led to the creation of BMW was established as an aircraft engine manufacturer in October 1913 by Karl Rapp in Munich and known as ‘Rapp Motoren Werke’. In 1916, it merged with Gustav Otto's nearby company to form Bayerische Flugzeug-Werke or BFW (Bavarian Aircraft Works). In March 1916 it was then changed to Bayerische Motoren Werke and was taken over by Popp with chief engineer Max Friz. The first engines were used in biplanes and sold to the German government in the last year of the First World War. After the war, with the prohibition on military aircraft as part of the Versailles Treaty, BMW turned to other types of transport engine: tractors, trucks, boats, cars, motorbikes. By the 1930s BMW was established as a car manufacturer. Under Hitler, BMW resumed making aircraft engines, both for civilian and military use. During the Second World War, BMW stepped up its manufacture of fighter aircraft engines for the Luftwaffe and also produced military motorcycles for the Wehrmacht. During the war the company started to manufacture jet engines and rockets for military use. By the end of the war, however, the majority of BMW factories had either been bombed into ruins or dismantled by the Allies and a three-year ban on all military engine production was imposed. BMW in the post-war period was confined to motorcycles, in which it became a world leader. In 1951 the company resumed car production; by 1956, it was manufacturing sports cars in West Germany. The new director, Paul G Hahnemann introduced a marketing strategy to segment the market for BMW products and started to restructure the company around market niches both within Germany and internationally. Under his leadership, BMW undertook a systematic expansion into markets outside Germany—increasing the range of car and motorbike models throughout the 1960s and '70s. BMW gradually started to dominate the market for luxury high performance cars. To reinforce their image, BMW also became a major sponsor of Formula 1 and started to compete which deepened their knowledge of high performance engine design. In the 1980s BMW started to make Formula 1 engines and to sponsor leading racing teams. In 1994, it bought out the Rover group and increased the number of brands under its management, notably the Mini. Campaign BMW's iconic campaign from which its famous strapline emerged started in 1975: The U


Which 30 year old pop diva gave birth to daughter called Blue Ivy Carter on 7th January 2012 ?

Beyonce baby security leaves dad blue Email a friend SHE'S not even two days old, but Beyonce and Jay-Z's new baby girl is already proving to be a diva thanks to the over-the-top security measures afforded her famous parents at the Manhattan hospital where she was born. To accommodate the influential couple's demand for privacy at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, other new and expecting parents said they were essentially put on "lockdown" and even booted out of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) - on the same floor as Beyonce's delivery "suite" - so the pampered songstress and her party could come and go unencumbered. "They just used the hospital like it was their own and nobody else mattered," raged new dad Neil Coulon, whose efforts to see his premature newborn twins in the NICU were disrupted by the birth of little Blue Ivy Carter. "They locked us into the NICU and would say, 'You can't come out to the hallway for the next 20 minutes.' When I finally was able to go back out, I went to the waiting room and they'd ushered my family downstairs!" Beyonce, 30, and 42-year-old Jay-Z - whose real name is Shawn Carter - welcomed their new princess, born by C-section, at the Upper East Side hospital Saturday night local time. The baby is reportedly named for her dad's album, Blueprint and her parents' favourite number, four - represented by the Roman numeral IV, or "Ivy." Beyonce's latest album is also called 4 and the couple have matching tattoos of the roman numeral on their wedding fingers. The drama surrounding Blue Ivy's long-awaited arrival began Friday night, when Beyonce checked in under the name "Ingrid Jackson" and settled into her sixth-floor suite to have the baby. By Saturday night, Blue Ivy and Beyonce had been moved down to a pad on the fourth floor, where her Grammy-winning mum and rap-legend dad showed her off to friends, the hospital employee said. A hospital spokeswoman said the hospital has special patient suites and that rooms can be reserved. She declined to give the cost and said published reports that Jay-Z shelled out $1.3 million for "an entire floor" were exaggerated, but would not say by how much. The couple's close friend Gwyneth Paltrow confirmed the baby's arrival on Twitter, writing: "Welcome to the world Blue! We love you already." And the singer's younger sister Solange tweeted today: "The most beautiful girl in the world." Beyonce and Jay-Z married on April 4, 2008. He was by her side during the birth, according to E! Online. A source told Beyonce's hometown newspaper Houston Chronicle that "mother and baby are doing fine". Despite initial confusion the baby was named Ivy Blue, E! reporter Ken Baker later clarified friends of the couple have confirmed the newborn was actually called Blue Ivy. Paltrow also clarified the name to a confused Twitter follower: "It's Blue Ivy Carter." Other celebrities have already started tweeting their congratulations to the couple, including hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and Rihanna. Russell posted: "Congrats to my good friends Beyoncé and Jay-Z." Rihanna posted: "Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih." On Saturday night, deliveries of takeaway food and bottles of red wine were being delivered to the hospital's private wing. While a spokesperson for the power couple - who are said to be worth $750 million - was not available for comment, security is said to have been tightened at the hospital. Hospital workers are being asked to turn in their mobile phones and security cameras have been covered with packing tape, according to the news site. At one point, a doctor was heard complaining the heavy security meant he couldn't check up on his patients properly. The hospital is only a few miles from the couple's TriBeCa, Manhattan apartment, where they spend most of their time while not on tour. The couple, who have been married since 2008, also recently bought a mansion in Miami Beach, Florida. Within hours of baby Blue's reported arrival, one fan started up a parody Twitter account called @IvyBlueCarter, with a digitally-created image of what the


Which instrument did Larry Mullen Jr play in the band U2 ?

Larry Mullen, Jr.: Biography from @U2 Born: October 31, 1961 Instrument: Drums Lawrence     Joseph Mullen was born and raised in Artane, located the north side of     Dublin, at 60 Rosemount Avenue. He had to add the "Junior" to the end of his name to distinguish     himself from his father, Larry Mullen, Sr. As Larry's career blossomed,     so did his tax bills and his father was the unlucky recipient of them     in the early 1980s. Before U2, Larry's previous gigs included playing     drums for the Post Office Workers Union Band, and, for three weeks, the     Artane Boys Band. Some of his earliest gigs included the St. Patrick's     Day Parade on O'Connell Street, the bandstand on St. Stephen's Green,     and the pier in Dun Laoghaire. Larry's music career started when he began taking piano lessons when     he was 8 years old. He did not fancy the notion of studying the piano     scales or learning music theory, so he gave up the piano and began drumming     in 1971. He started taking classes with Ireland's best-known drummer,     Joe Bonnie. When Bonnie died a year later, his daughter Monica continued     teaching Larry. However, Larry has said that his drumming style is "unteachable" and that spirit and instinct are what guides his technique. He has said     that he just wanted to "physically hit the thing," in regard     to the drums, so lessons where he couldn't just play were not his cup     of tea, so to speak. Larry did return to the piano when he played keyboards     on "Yahweh" during the Vertigo tour. His sister, Cecilia, bought him his first drum-kit in 1973 for £17.     He placed a notice at the infamous Mount Temple Comprehensive School in     the fall of 1976, and on September 25, 1976, the band auditions began     in his kitchen in Artane. Although everyone knows the band as U2, Larry     claims that the band's name is really "The Larry Mullen Band." Growing up, Larry considered his life to be "pretty normal for     a while." However, Larry's oldest sister, Mary, died in 1973. Five     years later, his mother, Maureen, died in a road traffic accident in November     1978. He says in U2 by U2, "In some ways, both events defined     the kind of person I've become. My mother's death certainly catapulted     me in the band's direction." Larry left school in 1978 after passing his Intermediate Certificate     exams. Larry said he was offered an opportunity to complete his Leaving     Certificate exams, but chose not to as the economy was not doing very     well at the time and jobs were difficult to find. While the band was still     trying to score a record deal in 1978, Larry worked at Seiscom Delta in     the purchasing department for a year. Had he stayed at Seiscom, his career     path would have been computer programming for Seiscom's geology department. In the early days of U2, Larry had to miss some gigs and photo shoots     because of the job at Seiscom. For the photo sessions he could not make,     friend-of-the-band Derek "Guggi" Rowen stepped in as he resembled     Larry to a degree. For the gigs, Larry arranged a stand-in named Eugene     from a north Dublin rock band called Stryder. When Larry became injured     on the job, running over his toe with his motorbike, Eric Briggs filled     in for him on the drums. Bono says in U2 by U2 that there was a period     of time where the other three band members almost kicked Larry out of     the band because they were not sure how serious he was. Ironically, during     the band's first recording session, a CBS record executive suggested that     Larry needed to be fired because of his inability to keep tempo. Also during the early days, Bono spoke to Larry about a local Christian-based     fellowship group. Prior to that, Larry grew up with a traditional Catholic     background, even serving as an altar boy in church. Larry, Bono and

He spent the rest of his life laboring and failing to finish a fourth. But it was a rich if chaotic time, and we're not done with it. These studio jams and early stabs at evolving songs mostly come from 1969 as Hendrix worked with shifting lineups, indecisive about his post-Experience path. Three tracks date from a May session, his first with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles, the future Band of Gypsys, including a funky turn through the signature blues "Hear My Train A Comin'." A rough "Izabella" with his short-lived Woodstock band comes with a diving-jet solo. Of course, Hendrix plays at an elevated level in every setting: a workout with saxman Lonnie Youngblood; the overdubbed-guitar chorales in the '68 instrumental "Inside Out." Hendrix left us so much but in precious little time. Every shred counts. David Fricke - March 5, 2013 RollingStone.com Hendrix Fans werden begeistert sein. Dieses neue Album People, Hell & Angels enthält zwölf bisher unveröffentlichte Studioaufnahmen aus den Jahren 1968 bis 1970. Trotz des enormen Erfolges mit seiner Jimi Hendrix Experience ruhte er sich nicht auf seinen Lorbeeren aus, sondern begann `68 sich hinter den Kulissen schon mit neuen Sounds und musikalischen Stilrichtungen weiter zu entwickeln. Zusammen mit alten Freunden experimentierte er mit für ihn neuartigen Instrumenten und Stilrichtungen. Verschiedene Besetzungen brachten neue Tracks hervor, die für Hendrix sehr untypische Elemente enthielten, wie etwa den Einsatz von Bläsern, Keyboards, Percussion und man höre und staune - sogar einer zweiten Gitarre. Man bekommt einen spannenden Einblick in die Zukunftspläne der Gitarrenlegende. People, Hell & Angels war, als Nachfolger für Electric Ladyland geplant, definitiv der erste große Schritt in einen bahnbrechenden Stilwechsel. Mit veränderter Rhytmussektion und Instrumentierung war er auf dem Weg, neue, für ihn endlos scheinende musikalische Horizonte zu erschließen. Folgende bisher unveröffentlichte Hendrix-Tracks sind auf People, Hell & Angels zu hören: "Earth Blues", "Somewhere", "Hear My Train A Comin'", "Bleeding Heart", "Baby Let Me Move You", "Izabella", "Easy Blues", "Crash Landing", "Inside Out", "Hey Gypsy Boy", "Mojo Man" und "Villanova Junction Blue

Her sister Princess Margaret was born 4 years later. In 1936, when she was 10, her uncle, King Edward VIII (aka Duke of Windsor ), caused a stir by abdicating the throne to marry a twice-divorced American named Wallis Warfield Simpson. His brother Albert was next in line to the throne, and he became George VI in honor of his father. She therefore became the Heiress Presumptive, meaning she would become Queen only if her parents did not have a son -- who would be king before her. At the age of 13, she met 18-year-old Prince Philip , her distant cousin. As her grandmother Queen Mary put it with more detail, they were third cousins through their descent from Queen Victoria (they are both great-great grandchildren of hers) second cousins once removed through their descent from King Christian IX of Denmark (her great-grandmother was Christian's daughter, his father was a descendant of his) and fourth cousins through their descent from George III (both of them being descendants of Queen Victoria -- she was his granddaughter). They fell in love and wanted to get married, but her father wanted to make sure it was real and not just because this was the first person she loved. Before they got married, he renounced his royal title as a Prince of Greece and Denmark, became a British subject, and adopted the surname of his uncle Louis Mountbatten . He was named Duke of Edinburgh shortly before they got married but was not made a Prince of the United Kingdom until 1957. They got married on November 20, 1947. One year later, they had a son, Charles Philip Arthur George. In 1950, they had Anne Elizabeth Alice; in 1960, Prince Andrew; and in 1964, Prince Edward. When they were in Kenya in 1952, they found out that her father had died of lung cancer so they returned as Queen and Consort. It was a busy time and got even busier. They worked at public engagements and, starting in the late 1970s, became grandparents. Anne had a son name Peter in 1977 and then a daughter named Zara in 1981 with her husband Captain Mark Phillips. Charles had William in 1982 and Henry in 1984 with his wife Diana. Andrew had Beatrice in 1988 and Eugenie in 1990 with his wife Sarah Ferguson. On November 20, 1997, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with their family and also celebrated the fact that Windsor Castle was reconstructed after a fire in 1992. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous Spouse (1) ( 20 November  1947      - present) (4 children) Trade Mark (2) Dress suit, big hat, boxy handbag Corgi dogs Trivia (50) Ascended British and Commonwealth thrones on February 6th, 1952.

In which city was London Mayor, Boris Johnson born ? Was it New York, Calcutta or Warsaw ?

City Mayors: Boris Johnson - Mayor of London Mayor of London By Andrew Stevens 3 September 2012: London’s resolutely ‘young fogey’ mayor has confounded expectations on his aptitude to govern since his May 2008 election victory. Having gone from a controversy-seeking journalist to national politician in less than a decade, Boris Johnson was always a surprise choice as Conservative candidate for the Labour-leaning British capital’s top job. His record in office has divided commentators however, some applauding his personal brand and humour underlying a solid vision, others accusing him of breath-taking complacency and attention-seeking. Johnson was re-elected for a second term in May 2012 ahead of London’s successful staging of the Summer Olympics, leading many to ponder a return to national politics and higher office for the seasoned performer mayor. Born 1964 in New York to English parents Stanley Johnson (a former Conservative Member of the European Parliament) and his first wife, the painter Charlotte Wahl, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson moved to England at an early age. He then attended England’s most elite educational institution Eton College, before going up to Oxford’s Balliol College to read Classics.  At Oxford he became president of the world famous Oxford Union debating society and a member of the notorious Bullingdon Club dining society, where he met fellow Etonian and future Conservative Party leader David Cameron.  Arguably he was set for a career in politics from an early age. Upon graduation from Oxford in 1986, Johnson embarked on a career in management consultancy, but quit after only one week due to lack of interest.  He was then accepted on a traineeship at The Times but dismissed after less than a year for falsifying a quote to spice up a dull story.  He was quickly rescued from provincial obscurity on a local evening newspaper by joining the conservative Daily Telegraph as a feature writer in 1987, becoming its Brussels correspondent not long after.  Flourishing in his role observing the European Union during the Maastricht Treaty era, he became the paper’s chief political correspondent and was rewarded with a column on the august right-wing weekly The Spectator.  He stepped into the magazine’s editor’s chair in 1999 and began to cultivate the media persona which would ultimately lead to election to Parliament, though his first attempt in 1997 for the Labour-held Clywd West seat did not prove successful. In 1998 Johnson began his longstanding association with the BBC current affairs quiz Have I Got News For You (which would be comparable to The Daily Show in the US), eventually becoming a household name (unusually for a minor Conservative figure) and securing the greatest number of appearances (alongside, ironically, Ken Livingstone ).  He finally secured election to Parliament as a Conservative MP in 2001, when he replaced Michael Heseltine in Oxfordshire’s Henley-on-Thames seat on the former Deputy Prime Minister’s retirement.  Once in Parliament he retained a prolific output and high profile on the right as a broadcaster and journalist, remaining a Telegraph columnist and editor of The Spectator in 2005.  Johnson’s first job in opposition was as Shadow Arts Minister in 2004, during which time he also wrote a comic novel.  However, he was soon forced to resign from the post that year following tabloid revelations of an extra-marital affair with a fellow Spectator journalist. Equally his tendency towards gaffe-prone behaviour, having offended many with his journalistic outbursts and frequent apologies for doing so, led some to speculate that his dizzying potential had been eroded early in his political career. Johnson bounced back however, not least once Oxford contemporary David Cameron was elected leader of the Conservative Party late in 2005.  Cameron appointed Johnson as the party’s Shadow Higher Education Minister, arguably a minor role considering his high public profile but one probably suited to his expansive portfolio of activities outside of Parliament. Johnson survived a further marit


Which 73 year old world peace campaigner is to be the President of the 2013 Llangollen International Music Eisteddfod ?

Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod Legendary peacemaker Terry Waite unveils plaque at site of first Llangollen Eisteddfod Legendary peacemaker Terry Waite unveils plaque at site of first Llangollen Eisteddfod Posted July 7, 2016 On the first day of the historic 70th Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, its President, legendary peace campaigner Terry Waite, unveiled a plaque on the field where the first festival was held. Intended to help heal the scars of World War Two which had ended only two years earlier, that 1947 Eisteddfod was staged on what is now the playing field of Llangollen’s Ysgol Dinas Bran. It continued to be held there for the next decade until the annual summer festival moved into the futuristic new International Pavilion specially built at nearby Penddol. To mark the 70th festival, which runs all this week until Sunday, a commemorative plaque was unveiled on the former site by Mr Waite. In the true spirit of international understanding for which the Eisteddfod is famous, he was helped by the Albanian peace ambassador, Fitim Mimari who was paying a special visit to the festival. And in a surprise salute to the close links with Ysgol Dinas Bran, Mr Waite called on one of its youngest pupils to also lend a hand in drawing aside the Welsh national flag from the new plaque. The handsome piece of Welsh slate bearing the inscription was specially donated by the Llechwedd Caverns in Blaenau Ffestiniog and stands on a plinth of Rhosymedre sandstone which once formed part of the walls of Llangollen’s recently demolished Cottage Hospital and was donated jointly by the companies Cynfen of Denbigh and K&C Construction of Kinmel Bay, who are building social housing on the site. As the plaque project received financial assistance from Llangollen Town Council, local Mayor Mike Adams was amongst the large gathering of VIPs who watched the ceremony alongside hundreds of flag-waving children from Ysgol Dinas Bran and the town’s two primary schools, Ygsol Y Gwernant and Ysgol Bryn Collen. Eisteddfod chairman, Dr Rhys Davies, said: “The idea of today’s ceremony is not only to commemorate the fact that the first Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod was held here on this field but also to raise awareness of the significance of this site, especially for the pupils of the Ysgol Dinas Bran who will pass this plaque twice a day on their way to their school buses.” Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod 2016. Terry Waite is pictured with guests and pupils from Dinas Bran High school unveiling a plaque to mark the site where the Eisteddfod first took place in 1947. The unveiling ceremony began with a rousing fanfare from the school’s own brass ensemble and there was more music from the girls of the Bishop Anstey High School Choir from Port of Spain in Trinidad who sang two numbers as a prelude to their appearances in the Eisteddfod’s musical competitions later in the week. Before unveiling the plaque, Terry Waite, who spent four years as a hostage at the hands of a Middle Eastern terrorist group, said: “This year we have been remembering World War One and the Battle of the Somme, in which almost 20,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers died in just one day. “Such is the cost of warfare but today wars continue to destroy lives, property and peace. “Some might say we are now involved in a third world war but of a different kind where terrorist acts can break out in any part of the world causing tremendous havoc to the people whose lives are affected by them. “At this ceremony we remember the people of Llangollen who, following World War Two, were determined to use what gifts they had to promote peace and understanding amongst people of different cultures and religions. “Over the years music has brought people together and had a profound affect way beyond the boundaries of Llangollen.” He added: “My message to the young people here is to believe in peace and not to believe there is nothing you can do to achieve it. “The people from this relatively small area of Wales have had an impact around the world.”


What is the first name of the mother of Jemima Khan and widow of Sir James Goldsmith, after whom one of London's most exclusive night clubs was named?

Devastated Ben Goldsmith blasts wife on Twitter for affair with rapper that ended his marriage to the Rothschild heiress | Daily Mail Online comments All seems good with the world in this picture of a happy-looking Ben Goldsmith as he enjoys a spot of hunting with the American musician Jay Electronica. But the image of the smiling pair, which is believed to have been taken seven months ago, may come to haunt the millionaire after his wife Kate had an alleged affair with the rapper. The tinted instagram picture emerged today and shows Mr Goldsmith and Electronica standing shoulder to shoulder - Mr Goldsmith seemingly oblivious to any issues in his relationship. Close: This instagram photo taken around seven months ago shows Ben Goldsmith's close relationship with rapper Jay Electronica Mr Goldsmith's spat with his wife over the alleged fling took an even uglier turn yesterday as he took to Twitter to publicly accuse her of fretting more about her image than their ‘devastated children’. He took to Twitter to broadcast his anguish about the end of their nine-year marriage amid reports the heiress has been having an affair with a US rapper. RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share Mr Goldsmith ridiculed the 29-year-old for hiring a PR firm to ‘fix her reputation’. He told his 6,000 followers: ‘A bit late surely? How about focusing on her devastated children?’ Heiress Kate, 29, a scion of the Rothschild banking dynasty, has three young children with Mr Goldsmith, son of the late billionaire Sir James Goldsmith. Enjoying the high life: Kate Goldsmith takes to the sky in a helicopter to travel between a Jay Z and Kanye West concert Ben and Kate Goldsmith pictured in December 2010. The couple are apparently set to divorce after she embarked on a passionate love affair with an American rap star 'Unique': Kate and Ben Goldsmith's former family home in Kensington, West London, has now gone on the market with a staggering £20million asking price Mr Goldsmith's comments came as pictures emerged of the opulent interior of their family home in Kensington, West London, which went on the market for £20million just before the couple had their final separation. The 'unique' detached property, built in 1860, has more than 5,600sg/ft of living space across four floors, complete with solid oak flooring, a summer house and spacious garden in one of the capital's most desirable districts. Fury: A retweet of Ben Goldsmith's angry tweets directed at wife Kate over her affair Mr Goldsmith is said to have confronted his wife after discovering explicit text and email messages from hip hop star Jay Electronica. Matters came to a head last Wednesday in a fierce bust-up at the couple’s home, in which he is said to have slapped Kate and kicked a child’s toy at her in fury. His wife called police who arrested Mr Goldsmith, 31, on suspicion of actual bodily harm. He later accepted a police caution. The Eton-educated financier also posted a Tweet yesterday which said: ‘Ps, in case you missed it’, and pointed his followers to an article in the Daily Mail about his wife’s alleged infidelity. However, by late afternoon it appeared Mr Goldsmith had had a change of heart about airing his marriage troubles in public. Both the Tweet about the Mail article, and the earlier one about his wife hiring a PR company, were deleted without explanation.

Argentine, US Jews applaud as Argentina elects Kirchner – COHA COHA 750 2 Commentshttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.coha.org%2Fargentine-us-jews-applaud-as-argentina-elects-kirchner%2FArgentine%2C+US+Jews+applaud+as+Argentina+elects+Kirchner2007-10-30+16%3A55%3A45COHAhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.coha.org%2F2007%2F10%2F30%2Fargentine-us-jews-applaud-as-argentina-elects-kirchner%2F By Larry Luxner Lately, it seems nearly every time someone is elected president of a South American country – Nicaragua, Ecuador and Bolivia are among the most recent examples – local Jews express alarm. Not so in Argentina, where Sunday’s comfortable victory by Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner is being warmly welcomed by the country’s 200,000-strong Jewish community, the largest in Latin America. As predicted by the polls, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner – 54 years old and the wife of President Nestor Kirchner – avoided a runoff by winning 45 percent of the vote. In second place was Elisa Carrio, a center-left congresswoman, with 23 percent, followed by former finance minister Roberto Lavagna, with 17 percent. “The truth is that Cristina as well as the No. 2 candidate are both very close to the Jewish community,” said Alejandro Kladniew, director-general of the Buenos Aires office of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. “Relations with the Jewish community will be the same or better than now.” Fernandez de Kirchner, a senator with the long-influential Peronist party, has developed close relationships with Jews both in Argentina and in the United States, community leaders here say. Aldo Donzis, president of the DAIA, the umbrella political group of Argentine Jewry, told JTA he expects Fernandez de Kirchner will carry on the close relationship the Jewish community has had with the current president, her husband. “This is not going to be a new government in terms of issues related to Jewish community concerns,” Donzis said Monday. “We were and will be supported by Cristina. She is publicly committed to us, she was at Jewish demonstrations and celebrations, and even spoke at Jewish events.” Fernandez de Kirchner also visited Israel in 2005. Last May, Fernandez de Kirchner addressed the American Jewish Committee’s annual meeting in Washington and spoke about the Argentine government’s commitment to finding the perpetrators of the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. The AMIA bombing, the worst terrorist attack in Latin American history, is currently the focus of an investigation by Interpol. The Argentine government has formally accused Iran of orchestrating the truck bombing, which killed 85 people and injured more than 300. In a letter of congratulations to the new president, whose inauguration is scheduled for Dec. 10, the AJC praised Fernandez de Kirchner for denouncing the attack and for promoting better relations with the United States and with the Jewish people in general. “Citizens of your country have recognized your singular leadership qualities, indispensable to meeting the demands for social justice, respect for human rights and engagement in an increasingly interconnected world,” wrote AJC President Richard Sideman and Executive Director David A. Harris. Dina Siegel Vann, director of the AJC’s Latino and Latin American Institute, has met Fernandez de Kirchner on four occasions and says Argentina’s next president is a “very bright woman” with strong convictions. “She became a senator from Santa Cruz province long before her husband was involved in politics,” Siegel Vann said. “From the very beginning of the AMIA case 13 years ago, she was already raising her voice and saying there was a cover-up.” Sergio Widder, the Latin American representative of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said Fernandez de Kirchner’s support for Jewish causes predates the launching of her national political career. “As a member of Congress, she was among the strongest critics of the investigation of the AMIA bombing, headed by former judge Juan Jose Galeano, and later she led the efforts that ended with his impeachment and dismissal,” Widder said.

Alain Roux cooked roasted loin of venison in a pastry crust with wild mushrooms, broccoli and Hermitage wine sauce with black currant vinegar, which was followed by Raymond Blanc’s dessert of homemade croustade pastry with oven baked apples, honey and ginger ice cream. Guests included Her Royal Highness the Countess of Wessex, as well as Michael Portillo, president of DEBRA, and Sara Jayne Stanes, CEO of the Academy of Culinary Arts. Stanes spoke about the Chefs Adopt a School initiative, concluding with the words of a seven-year-old pupil from an adopted school in Scotland, who thanked Albert Roux in a letter saying his life ‘has changed forever’ as a result of the chef’s visit to his school. Meanwhile auctioneer Chris Mills helped to raise more than £18,000 in an auction, which included prizes such as a tasting menu at Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck, an exclusive dinner party for 15 hosted by Roy Ackermann and Brian Turner, and a two-night stay in the Belgravia suite at the Goring Hotel in London.

The Observer’s food critic says that while the restaurant at the One New Change development in the City of London may be big, brash and bold, the penthouse pricing, dysfunctional service and pedestrian cooking are a letdown.

What natural phenomenon caused the late postponement of the third game of Baseball's World Series between San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics ?

Baseball's Best - Episode Guide - TV.com Baseball's Best MLB Premiered Jan 01, 2007 Unknown USER EDITOR 12/2/10 0.0 St. Louis Cardinals 0 at Kansas City Royals 11, F -- The "Show-Me Series" came to an end on October 27, 1985 at Royals Stadium when the night after becoming a father, Royals pitcher Bret Saberhagen threw a five-hitter while leading his team to victory. The Royals became the only team to ever come from a three games to one deficit twice in the same postseason to win the World Series.moreless 10/28/07 0.0 Boston Red Sox 4 at Colorado Rockies 3, F -- There was certainly no 86-year wait this time. The Red Sox used two homers and superb pitching to complete a sweep and propel once-title-starved Boston to its second World Series title in four seasons. It all ended with Jonathan Papelbon, the closer who has been brilliant all year and into the postseason, striking out Seth Smith on 95-mph heat. The fiery right-hander tossed his glove high in the air with joy, took his hat off and then embraced catcher Jason Varitek after saving the World Series clincher for left-hander Jon Lester. From there, it was a sea of Red Sox piling on top of each other in the middle of the diamond.moreless 10/21/07 0.0 Cleveland Indians 2 at Boston Red Sox 11, F -- The Red Sox are the AL's best as they rode the home crowd and Dustin Pedroia's five RBIs to surge past the Indians. Daisuke Matsuzaka's solid start and a six-out save by closer Jonathan Papelbon bookended Boston's return to the Fall Classic. Boston completed its dramatic comeback from 3-1 down in this series, becoming the first team in Major League history to pull off that feat three times.moreless 10/21/07 0.0 Boston Red Sox 9 at Los Angeles Angels 1, F -- Go wild, Beantown!

Episode 934041 0.0 October 24, 1992: 1992 World Series, Game 6: Toronto Blue Jays 4 at Atlanta Braves 3, F/11 -- Dave Winfield picked the perfect moment for his first extra-base hit in twelve career World Series games. With the score tied in the 11th and the Blue Jays one win away from Canada's first-ever World Series title, Winfield burned Charlie Leibrandt for a double down the left field line to put Toronto up 4-2. The Braves mounted a comeback, but ultimately fell short, 4-3.moreless Episode 934040 0.0 May 6, 1998: Houston Astros 0 at Chicago Cubs 2, F -- The most dominating pitching performance of the 1998 season wasn't turned in by one of the usual suspects. No, it wasn't Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez or Roger Clemens who blew up on May 6th with a phenomenal 20-strikeout, one-hit gem; it was a 20-year old neophyte by the name of Kerry Wood who went from a promising Cubs rookie to a household name in a matter of hours.moreless Episode 934037 0.0 July 1, 1994: California Angels 7 at Baltimore Orioles 14, F -- The Angels and Orioles provided some fireworks at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in advance of the 4th by combining for eleven home runs.

In which South African city is the Wanderers test ground ?

South Africa's cricket grounds Tweet on Twitter When South Africa hosted the 2003 Cricket World Cup, South Africa, the country’s beautiful and varied cricket grounds were on show, with each of them bringing their own character to the game. The Wanderers exhibited the super-charged atmosphere of the “Bullring”. Newlands revealed one of the most beautiful settings in the world of cricket, while SuperSport Park’s spectator-friendly grass embankments showed off a party vibe. Each and every one of South Africa’s grounds boasts something unique and special. Take a look around the country: OUTsurance Oval, Bloemfontein Website Located in Bloemfontein, the capital of the Free State province, OUTsurance Oval is a spectator-friendly ground, with the sizeable grass embankment on the eastern side especially popular with spectators. It is part of a wonderful sporting complex, covering a massive city block that includes facilities of either international of provincial standard for athletics, rugby, hockey, cricket, tennis and swimming. The ground has been used for limited-overs internationals since the fifth one-day international between South Africa and India in December 1992. The pitch is recognised as a good one-day wicket and is usually conducive to high scoring. OUTsurance Oval hosted its first Test in October 1999 when South Africa took on Zimbabwe. It was a good start for the Proteas as they thrashed SA’s northern neighbours by an innings and 13 runs. Willowmoore Park, Benoni Website One of South Africa’s newer international grounds, Willowmoore Park is a smaller-sized venue and home of the Easterns provincial team. It is also used by the Nashua Titans franchise. Willowmoore Park first hosted a one-day international in February 1997 when India met Zimbabwe and Sachin Tendulker celebrated the new venue’s debut with a century as the Indians won by six wickets, with over 10 overs to spare. Willowmoore Park remains a one-day international venue; it has not yet hosted a test. However, it has become a more and more popular choice as an ODI ground. During the Cricket World Cup in 2003 it hosted two matches. Denis Compton famously scored a triple century in three hours and one minute against North Eastern Transvaal at the ground in 1948. It remains the fastest ever triple century.

South African fans enjoy the fact that Newlands has been a particularly good ground to the national side in limited-overs internationals. The playing surface is highly regarded, but that wasn’t always the case. Pakistan certainly didn’t think so when they were blasted out for just 43 by the West Indies in February 1993. Their woeful batting effort included six ducks! At the 2003 Cricket World Cup, Newlands hosted both the opening ceremony and the opening match of the tournament, between South Africa and the West Indies. In something of a shock, the islanders beat the home side. Newlands was one of the primary venues used during the competition, hosting five matches, including three category-A internationals, featuring established test-playing nations. Supersport Park, Centurion Website Rated one of the 10 best grounds in the world by Indian legend Kapil Dev, Supersport Park is a 20 000-seater that boasts a wonderful grandstand and superb open grass embankments. It hosted its first one-day international in December 1992 and its first test in November 1995, a match in which the great Shaun Pollock made his debut for South
