"Who was hanged for the murder of a policeman because his cry of ""Let him have it"" was ambiguous?"

Let Him Have It Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 41 out of 50 people found the following review useful: A good film Author: sambora10 (sambora10@hotmail.com) 4 April 2003 I was made to watch this about 3 or 4 years ago in my English class. My teacher was a successful lawyer who had quit his high paying job after seeing this film so that he could teach English. He explained to us that the reason for him resigning was that he couldn't believe the dishonesty and destructiveness that was caused by lawyers and judges in the court (or something along those words, I don't remember precisely). Anyway, I thought he was mad but when I watched it I was very surprised, firstly that this film had never come to my attention before, or the case for that matter and secondly that the quality of the movie was almost genius. I didn't understand at the time how seemingly good actors like this had not been getting any media coverage since, or not that I knew of. Afterwards I was glad I saw it in the English class and got a top grade for my review of it and I subsequently bought the DVD. Paul Reynolds and Christopher Eccleston make the best performances but there's also some good smaller roles in the movie. Not a masterpiece but certainly an underrated but memorable film. Was the above review useful to you? 28 out of 34 people found the following review useful: Is Bentley really one of the Gang? from UK 4 November 2003 This is a very convincing film of the life of Derek Bentley and his eventual execution. 1950s Britain is just beginning to emerge from the years of post-War austerity with all of the milk bars, pop records and teddy boy youth culture showing a new, malign confidence. The undercurrent is definitely youth crime gone wild. But is Derek Bentley really one of the gang? Christopher Eccleston is absolutely brilliant playing Bentley, and truly captures the inner torment and diffidence of a young man suffering from years of epilepsy and failure at school. Bentley is clearly not normal and probably more impressionable than most people of his age  this is the essence of this tragic story. He wants to be like everyone else but stupidly chooses the wrong people  or do they choose him? You are never sure whether Bentley's friend Chris Craig (the brilliant Paul Reynolds) is a nasty piece of work or maybe someone else led astray, this time by his truly monstrous, menacing older brother Niven Craig (Mark McGann) who he sees receiving 10 years for armed resistance to police arrest. Who is Craig - is he Pinkie in Brighton Rock (Boulting 1947), Jimmy Hanley in the Blue Lamp (Dearden, 1950) or one of the famous five with a gun? After his brother's trial, Chris lies down at night and then  rather poignantly and in a nice little flourish from director Peter Medak  lays down his handgun on his bedside table, finding a gap amongst his toy cars, trams and aeroplanes. Perhaps he's just a naïve little kid after all. When the gang goes to the cinema what else would they watch but a Jimmy Cagney gangster movie? Maybe if they'd watched the Blue Lamp instead they would have been warned off. Anyway, Bentley clearly did not murder the policeman on the rooftop - that was Craig (some say it was a policeman's bullet gone astray). Bentley was executed for a crime he did not commit, pure and simple. Good, haunting musical score by Michael Kamen.

In architecture, what is the name given to a column in the form of a female figure?

Caryatid - Ancient History Encyclopedia Caryatid by Mark Cartwright published on 29 October 2012 Caryatid is the name given to an architectural column which takes the form of a standing female figure. The first examples come from ancient Greek architecture and indeed, the most celebrated examples are found in the south porch of the Erechtheion on the acropolis of Athens . Naming & Origins The term Caryatid first appears in the 4th century BCE and was coined by Vitruvius in reference to Karyai in Laconia where women often danced balancing a basket on their heads in honour of Artemis and where Caryatids were used in Archaic architecture.  They were an evolution of the earlier korai statues of both male and female figures prevalent throughout the Archaic period and used as columns in Ionian architecture. These were themselves an evolution of Persian columns which often employed animal figures within the column design. Remove Ads Advertisement The most famous Caryatids are the six which support the roof of the porch of the Erechtheion on the Athenian acropolis. Archaic Caryatids were usually used in the porches of Treasury buildings which were built to house offerings from specific states at religious sanctuaries such as Delphi and Olympia . The most important treasury at Delphi was from the Siphnians (c. 525 BCE) and this and at least two other Treasuries had Caryatids. Caryatids of this period often have a short column drum above the head in order to facilitate the join with the column capital. The Erechtheion The most famous Caryatids are the six which support the roof of the false south porch of the Erechtheion on the Athenian acropolis. This building was constructed between 421 and 406 BCE as part of Pericles ’ great project to rejuvenate the architecture of the great city . The Erechtheion was built to house the ancient wooden cult statue of Athena but also served as a centre for the cults of Erechtheus (a mythical king of Athens), his brother Boutes, Hephaistos and Poseidon . The Caryatids display features which would become staple elements of Classical sculpture: clothes which cling to the body (the ‘wet look’) and a bold and more dynamic positioning of the hips and legs. Although each Caryatid wears the same robe - a belted Doric peplos and short himation - each is uniquely rendered, a feature particularly noticeable in their intricate plaited hairstyles (best seen from the rear). The arms of the figures have unfortunately been lost but Roman copies show them holding in their right hands phialai - shallow vessels for pouring libations - whilst their left hand raised slightly their robe. Scholars believe them to be carved by different artists, most probably from the workshop of Alcamenes, student and colleague of Pheidias. Interestingly, the porch of the Erechtheion stands over what was believed to be the tomb of the mythical king Kekrops and perhaps the Caryatids and their libation vessels are a tribute to this fact - libations were poured into the ground as an offering to the dead. The Caryatids now on the acropolis are copies, five of the originals reside in the Acropolis Museum of Athens and the other is in the British Museum, London.

Their new, monumental historical film, Lawrence           of Arabia , with ten nominations and seven Oscars, was          a blockbuster and deserving Best Film winner. The over three-hour          long spectacle/epic of desert pageantry about the adventures          of British officer and Arabian desert guerrilla leader T. E.          Lawrence (1888-1935) who led the Arab revolt against the Turks          in 1917, was derived from Robert Bolt's screenplay. [This was          the first of four British-made films that won the top          Best Picture Oscar in the decade of the 1960s. The other three          were Tom Jones (1963), A Man For All Seasons (1966),          and Oliver! (1968).] The 1962 Best Picture winner's seven awards included          Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Art          Direction, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, and Best Musical          Score. Naturally, one of its Oscars was for the photography          of its magnificent locale - the desert. It remains the only Best          Picture winner to have credited roles for actors of only one          gender. There was not a single female speaking role - except          for a camel named Gladys! It was Spiegel's third Oscar for Best          Picture (earlier wins for the producer were for On           The Waterfront (1954) and The            Bridge On The River Kwai (1957) ). From the 1951 Academy          Awards through to the present, according to the Academy's rules,          the Best Picture nomination went to the individual producer(s)          credited on the film, not to the production company or studio          that produced the film. Note: Spiegel became (and remains)          the only producer to have his name - and his name          only - associated with three Best Picture Oscars, due to this          Oscar win. The other Best Picture nominees included: Darryl F. Zanuck's 20th Century Fox epic           production based on Cornelius Ryan's book, The Longest            Day (with five nominations and two wins), another star-studded,           documentary-style action/war film about the preparations           and events of the Normandy/D-Day Allied landings on June           6

"Which historical event is illustrated by the Victorian painting ""And When Did You Last See Your Father""?"

(26 x 40.6 cm.); the latter 10 1/8 x 16 in. (25.6 x 40.6 cm.) (2) Painters of Everyday Life Lionel Lambourne George Eliot loved Dutch paintings. In Adam Bede (1859) she describes why she found 'a source of delicious sympathy in these faithful pictures of a monotonous, homely existence...I turn...to an old woman bending over her pot, or eating her solitary dinner while the noonday light...just touches the rim of her spinning-wheel, and her stone jug. Do not impose on us any aesthetic rules which shall banish...those old women scraping carrots with their work-worn hands...let Art always remind us of them...' These words remind us that our delight in tales or paintings of everyday life lies deep in human nature. Today, radio and television 'soap operas' and 'situation comedies' present 'everyday stories of country folk' or 'tales of the city' and suburb. There is nothing new about this, for since Egyptian times artists have painted pictures showing universally understood relationships, such as an idle servant and a stern master or young lovers being disturbed by intruders. The ever-enthralling battle of the sexes was a main preoccupation both of Victorian genre painters and novelists such as Thackeray and Dickens. Novels often appeared in illustrated serial form, thus helping to create a climate ideal for genre painters, enjoined since the time of Hogarth and Henry Fielding, to make their paintings 'novels in paint.' Paintings which 'told a story' via the medium of engravings found their way into many thousands of homes, just as today videos of such films as Four Weddings and a Funeral reach an audience of millions. Several paintings from this part of the Forbes Collection create interesting parallels between the Victorian age and today. We can see, for example, how the difficulties of getting your partner to the altar have changed, from the exciting exchange of vows recorded in Rebecca Solomon's A Love Letter to the arrival of the wedding dress and elaborate trousseau, laid out for the envy and admiration of family and friends, shown in Jessica Hayllar's A Coming Event. Such prodigies of embroidery sadly recall the darker side of the dressmaking industry notorious for sweated labour, activities denounced by Thomas Hood in The Song of the Shirt published in Punch in 1843: Oh! men with sisters dear, Oh! men with mothers and wives, It is not linen you're wearing out But human creatures' lives. The poem inspired Richard Redgrave's The Sempstress exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1844. The time on the clock shows half-past-two in the morning, yet the sempstress, emaciated, hopeless and worn-out, with red-rimmed eyes, is still plying her needle to finish an order. The artist Paul Falconer Poole wrote an encouraging letter to Redgrave concerning The Sempstress: 'Who can help exclaiming "Poor soul! God help her?" If any circumstance could make us...go down shirtless to our graves, it is the contemplation of this truthful and wonderful picture.' The Pre-Raphaelite artist James Collinson excelled at genre scenes. He had a love affair with Christina Rossetti which went sadly wrong, and she broke off the engagement owing to religious differences. In 1854 he resumed painting genre subjects, notably two oval paintings For Sale and To Let, both exhibited in 1857 bearing their enigmatic titles. Collinson painted several different versions of these paintings right up to his death in 1881. Each features an attractive woman, the younger with an empty purse at a church bazaar, the older a plump beauty placing a 'To Let' sign in a window above flower-pots containing a lily and a 'Bleeding Heart'. Victorian eyes alert to the 'language of flowers' would surely have noted the lady's dark costume and we


The 'Nimrod' used by the RAF for search and early warning purposes, was developed from which airliner?

Hawker Siddeley Nimrod Hawker Siddeley Nimrod Hawker Siddeley Nimrod (12/23/2015) source : The Hawker Siddeley Nimrod was a maritime patrol aircraft developed and operated by the United Kingdom. It was an extensive modification of the de Havilland Comet, the world's first operational jet airliner. It was originally designed by de Havilland's successor firm, Hawker Siddeley; further development and maintenance work was undertaken by Hawker Siddeley's own successor companies, British Aerospace and BAE Systems, respectively. Designed in response to a requirement issued by the Royal Air Force (RAF) to replace its fleet of ageing Avro Shackletons, the Nimrod MR1/MR2s were primarily fixed-wing aerial platforms for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) operations; secondary roles included maritime surveillance and anti-surface warfare. It served from the early 1970s until March 2010. The intended replacement was to be extensively rebuilt Nimrod MR2s, designated Nimrod MRA4; however due to considerable delays, repeated cost overruns, and financial cutbacks, the development of the MRA4 was abandoned in 2010. In addition to the three Maritime Reconnaissance variants, two further Nimrod types were developed. The RAF operated a small number of the Nimrod R1, an electronic intelligence gathering (ELINT) variant. A dedicated airborne early warning platform, the Nimrod AEW3 was in development from late 1970s to the mid-1980s; however, much like the MRA4, considerable problems were encountered in development and thus the project was cancelled in 1986 in favour of an off-the-shelf solution in the Boeing E-3 Sentry. All Nimrod variants had been retired by mid-2011. Hawker Siddeley Nimrod United Kingdom - UK (Great Britain) 1967 United Kingdom - UK (Great Britain) 1969 Design And Development The Hawker Siddeley Nimrod is a maritime patrol aircraft developed in the United Kingdom. It is an extensive modification of the de Havilland Comet. It was originally designed by Hawker Siddeley, now part of BAE Systems. A major modification was the fit of a large weapon bay under the fuselage that can carry and drop torpedoes, mines, bombs and other stores. Sonobuoys for tracking submarines are dropped from special launchers in the rear of the fuselage.  The Nimrod is also capable of carrying American-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and Sidewinder air-to-air missiles for self-defense.  The Nimrod has been the primary Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) of the Royal Air Force since the early 1970s, when it replaced the piston-engined Avro Shackleton. The RAF uses two Nimrod variants: the MR2 variant in the Maritime and Reconnaissance role; the R1 variant in a reconnaissance and electronic intelligence gathering capacity (ELINT). The Nimrod was the first jet-powered maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) to enter service, being powered by the Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan engine. Aircraft in this role have been commonly propelled by piston or turboprop powerplants instead to maximise fuel economy and enable maximum patrol time on station; advantages of the Nimrod's turbofan engines included greater speed and altitude capabilities, it was also more capable of evading detection methods by submarines, whereas propeller-driven aircraft are more detectable underwater to standard acoustic sensors. Inflight, the Nimrods had a flight endurance of ten hours without aerial refuelling; the MR2s were later fitted to receive mid-air refuelling in response to demands in the Falklands War. At the start of a patrol mission all four engines would normally be running, but as the aircraft's weight was reduced by the consumption of onboard fuel up to two engines could be intentionally shut down, allowing the remaining engines to be operated in a more efficient manner. Instead of relying on ram air to restart an inactive engine, compressor air could be crossfed from a live engine to a starter turbine; the crossfeed duct was later discovered to be a potential fire hazard. Similarly, the two hydraulic systems onboard were designed to be powered by the two inner engines that would always be running. E

"Who co-presents BBC TV's ""Home Front"" with Diarmuid Gavin?"

BBC - Worldwide Press Office - Diarmuid Gavin Homefront in the Garden 25.01.02 DIARMUID       GAVIN - Homefront in the Garden in paperback Diarmuid       Gavin, one of the most innovative garden designers working today,       has created an array of inspirational gardens in response to some       challenging design briefs in his BBCTWO series, Homefront in the Garden.       Diarmuid's ideas from the cutting-edge series, together with practical       advice and original solutions for a range of different situations,       are included in a new paperback edition of his book, Homefront in       the Garden (published by BBC Worldwide on 3 January, price £12.99). Garden        design may seem demanding and exclusively for those with experience        and a limitless budget, but Diarmuid disagrees. Here, he sets out        to demystify the whole design process and push back the boundaries        of garden style. Viewing the garden as an outdoor room, he explains        how to take new ideas, colours and materials outdoors to create        a garden to reflect your own personality, from the initial idea        and inspiration, through to planning the layout, and choosing materials,        features, colours and plants. Chapters include: · A QUESTION OF CHOICE - what you need in your garden, what        you would love to have in your garden and how to combine the two        successfully · A FRESH LOOK AT DESIGN - good, bad and classical        designs; basic principles; how to find inspiration and exploring        the potential of colour, material and planning · BACK TO BASICS - measuring your garden; putting        your plan on paper; practical considerations such as improving your        soil, budgeting, neighbours, working with contractors · DIVIDING LINES - boundaries, from brick walls and        wooden fences to glass and metal · OUTDOOR FLOORING - examining the options for flooring,        from traditional to modern · WATER, WATER - looking at the myriad ways in which        water can be used in the garden · LIFE IN THE GARDEN - shopping for accessories that        will add a little magic to your garden · DESIGNER PLANTS - how to develop a planting plan;        choosing the right plants for the right place; a list of Diarmuid's        favourites · CASE STUDIES - examples from the television series,        demonstrating how to tackle some of the more common design problems        you might encounter when planning your garden. Homefront        in the Garden is packed with professional advice and stunning photography,        which will appeal to gardeners and non-gardeners alike. It will        challenge you to rethink what you know about traditional garden        design and encourage you to move beyond the ordinary, to create        a space of inspiration, relaxation, and most importantly of all,        a garden to live in. DIARMUID        GAVIN trained in Ireland, at the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin,        and ran his own successful design business, before his television        career started following a controversial garden that he designed        for the Chelsea Flower Show. As well as Homefront in the Garden,        Diarmuid has appeared on Real Rakeovers, Planet Patio and co-presents        Homefront with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen on BBCTWO. Publication        date: 3 January 2002 Price: £12.99 paperback ISBN: 0 563 53479        6 A        new series of Homefront in the Garden starts in January 2002 on        BBCTWO.

"Whose law states that ""the volume of a gas varies in proportion to its (Kelvin) temperature at a constant pressure?"

Gas Laws Gas Laws One of the most amazing things about gases is that, despite wide differences in chemical properties, all the gases more or less obey the gas laws.  The gas laws deal with how gases behave with respect to pressure, volume, temperature, and amount. Pressure Gases are the only state of matter that can be compressed very tightly or expanded to fill a very large space.  Pressure is force per unit area, calculated by dividing the force by the area on which the force acts.  The earth's gravity acts on air molecules to create a force, that of the air pushing on the earth.  This is called atmospheric pressure. The units of pressure that are used are pascal (Pa), standard atmosphere (atm), and torr.  1 atm is the average pressure at sea level.  It is normally used as a standard unit of pressure.  The SI unit though, is the pascal. 101,325 pascals equals 1 atm. For laboratory work the atmosphere is very large.  A more convient unit is the torr.  760 torr equals 1 atm.  A torr is the same unit as the mmHg (millimeter of mercury).  It is the pressure that is needed to raise a tube of mercury 1 millimeter. The Gas Laws: Pressure Volume Temperature Relationships Boyle's Law:  The Pressure-Volume Law Boyle's law or the pressure-volume law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant temperature varies inversely with the applied pressure when the temperature and mass are constant. Another way to describing it is saying that their products are constant. PV = C When pressure goes up, volume goes down. When volume goes up, pressure goes down. From the equation above, this can be derived: P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3 etc. This equation states that the product of the initial volume and pressure is equal to the product of the volume and pressure after a change in one of them under constant temperature.  For example, if the initial volume was 500 mL at a pressure of 760 torr, when the volume is compressed to 450 mL, what is the pressure? Plug in the values: (760 torr)(500 mL) = P2(450 mL) 760 torr x 500 mL/450 mL = P2 844 torr = P2 The pressure is 844 torr after compression. Charles' Law:  The Temperature-Volume Law This law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. V Same as before, a constant can be put in: V / T = C As the volume goes up, the temperature also goes up, and vice-versa. Also same as before, initial and final volumes and temperatures under constant pressure can be calculated. V1 / T1 = V2 / T2 = V3 / T3 etc. Gay-Lussac's Law:  The Pressure Temperature Law This law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. P Same as before, a constant can be put in: P / T = C As the pressure goes up, the temperature also goes up, and vice-versa. Also same as before, initial and final volumes and temperatures under constant pressure can be calculated. P1 / T1 = P2 / T2 = P3 / T3 etc. Avogadro's Law:  The Volume Amount Law Amedeo Avogadro (1776-1856) Gives the relationship between volume and amount when pressure and temperature are held constant.  Remember amount is measured in moles.  Also, since volume is one of the variables, that means the container holding the gas is flexible in some way and can expand or contract. If the amount of gas in a container is increased, the volume increases.  If the amount of gas in a container is decreased, the volume decreases. V FW = gRT / PV ; V = (0.1000 g)(0.0821 L-atm / mole-K)(295.3 K) / (0.0928 atm)(0.256 L) = 102 g / mole FW of CHF2 = 51.0 g / mole ;  102 / 51.0 = 2 ; C2H2F4 If the equation above is rearranged further, g / V = P x FW / RT = density you get an expression of the density of the gas as a function of T and FW. EXAMPLE 3: Compare the density of He and air (average FW = 28 g/mole) at 25.0 oC and 1.00 atm. dHe = (4.003 g / mole)(1.00 atm) / (0.0821 L-atm / mole-K)(298 K) = 0.164 g / L dair = (28.0 g / mole)(1.00 atm) / (0.0821 L-atm / mole-K)(298 K) = 1.14 g / L EXAMPLE 4: Compare the density of air at 25


Which animal has the scientific name 'Sciurus carolinensis'?

Eastern Gray Squirrel Eastern Gray Squirrel Scientific name: Sciurus carolinensis   Common name: Eastern gray squirrel The eastern gray squirrel is a very common, North American, tree dwelling rodent. It is found in a great variety of woodland, parkland and suburban and even urban habitats. The principle requirement to make a habitat suitable for a gray squirrel is a predictable abundance of food. The primary food required by the gray squirrel is "mast" (i.e. the fruits (nuts) of forest trees such as oaks, beeches, hickories etc). This is the essential calorie source needed for the seasonal buildup of over-wintering fat and also represents an ideal storage food product for the long winter season. Gray squirrels bury large quantities of mast in communal cache zones within their overlapping territories in forest ecosystems. These communal mast burial areas not only assist the gray squirrels in their over-wintering survival and also contribute to the dispersion and germination of many hardwood trees. Gray squirrels also consume many other foods through the year (including mushrooms, tree flowers and buds, caterpillars, and plant shoots). They seem to require a diverse food base in order to accumulate needed micro-nutrients for both normal growth and for reproduction. The ideal habitat for a gray squirrel, then, must have abundant mast producing trees and a diverse array of other food sources that typically come into availability at different times of their growing seasons.   Gray squirrels are really not gray in color at all but are instead a mixture of blacks, whites and browns. Most hairs on a "gray" squirrel, in fact, are banded with all three colors but are tipped with whitish ends that generate the "gray" illusion. The back hairs of the squirrel tend to be darker and its belly hairs tend to be lighter in color. Within any population of gray squirrels lighter and darker individuals can be found. "White squirrels" or "black squirrels" may be locally favored by natural  human-generated selection forces. The undisturbed North American population of gray squirrels was, according to historical records, predominately made up of "black", gray squirrels probably due to the effectiveness of the black coloration as an aid in hiding from avian predators such as hawks or owls. The black squirrel, however, was very clearly outlined against the light colored sky when humans hunted the squirrels from the forest floor. This human hunting pressure, apparently, favored the mixed, "gray" coloration that even today predominates in most North American populations.  Gray squirrels live in two types of dwelling structures: dens, which are holes typically constructed in healthy, living trees (often by the expansion of abandoned woodpecker holes) and nests, which are densely packed masses of sticks and leaves (and a great variety of any other available natural and human-made materials). Nests are usually located high up in the forked branches of large trees. Dens are preferred for over-wintering and for brood chambers, but nests are (with constant maintenance) very weather proof and sturdy habitations.  Gray squirrels do not hibernate but instead rely on their fat reserves and cached mast stores to survive the long, cold winters. Gray squirrels can be seen out in the winter months as long as the temperatures are not too cold (not below 30 degrees F) and as long as it is not raining or snowing. Food forages are calculated risks in which the use of energy (fat) reserves must yield a "profit" or the squirrel's vital fat insulation layer will be steadily lost and the individual will be unable to survive the winter. Gray squirrels are eaten by a large number of organisms including black snakes, rattlesnakes, weasels, skunks, and red foxes. The body of a gray squirrel was once even found in the stomach of a large mouth bass! Gray squirrels' most significant predators, though, are unquestionably birds of prey, especially hawks and owls. Gray squirrels are diurnal animals. Their eyes are adapted to high light levels and have even greater visual acuity


Who is the wife of retired footballer Lee Chapman?

Lee Chapman | Metro News Lee Chapman metrowebukmetro Tuesday 27 Oct 2009 5:24 am James Ellis James Ellis – EX-FOOTBALLER TURNEDrestaurateur Lee Chapman, 41, and his wife actress Leslie Ash now own three bar restaurants, Teatro and So:uk in London and Teatro Leeds, in which one of his former clubs, Leeds United, is a shareholder. We caught up with him as Teatro in London celebrated its third birthday party this month. Leslie once said in an interview you have a fantastic business brain. Would you agree? Well, to be honest, I think she only mentioned that so I’d take her shopping in Bond Street afterwards. How much did working for football managers help you in running restaurants? In many ways it’s similar. I’ve got a team under me and the same principles apply. I learnt a lot, both good and bad, from all my managers,- some of them were pretty dreadful and some of them were really great. You learn how to deal with people, how to motivate. You don’t always get it right, you have bad days as well as good, but generally I try to motivate people. What hurts more, bad reviews as a player or as a restaurateur? I haven’t had many bad ones as a restaurateur; I had plenty as a player. I had my critics because, as a big centre forward, you stand out if you have an off day. Generally we’ve been lucky. We have had the occasional bad review and it affects me because they seem to be aimed at me personally without being critical of the food. I’ve been a hindrance in many ways to the success of this place because people see it is owned by a footballer and are very reluctant to give it a good review. It’s only after three years that people are beginning to forget I used to play. Are most footballers a bit thick? Because you don’t need any qualifications to get into football, you tend to get a very broad spectrum of people. I know people who’ve got degrees who played football, but a lot of guys were uneducated because they didn’t want to do anything other than football so they neglected their education. That doesn’t mean they are thick and they’re certainly streetwise. The only generalisation you can make is that from the sheer training you develop a certain type of person. Did playing in France have an influence on how you looked after yourself? I got better as my career went on because the team I went to after Lyon was Nottingham Forest, who had Brian Clough as manager. He encouraged me to play with my feet, he made me go to the near post and he made people play it into me, which developed me as a player. But I think in France they do live well, they don’t have the same drinking culture. Was your generation the last which had that culture? It’ll always go on a little bit. When I first started there was a lot of drinking going on during the week but it sort of petered out as my career went on. It happened less and less as the game got faster and faster until you just couldn’t do it any more. Do you regret not being in the game today? Because of the money? It would’ve been nice but I’ve never been motivated by it. I’m not impressed by money, so I don’t miss that aspect. I think it’s great they earn that much because they deserve it. In the long term – if you consider someone’s career may only last ten years – you’re underpaid for what you do. What do you do to keep fit now you are out of the game? I go to the gym three or four times a week. I go on the way to work. Who’s your favourite designer? [Laughs] Any who make black clothes. So Donna Karan, I guess. I’m really, really bad on colours. I normally get it totally wrong and Leslie ends up having to give me a hand. As one half of a celebrity couple, do you appreciate what Posh and Becks go through? It has never been as bad as that for us. I think they enjoy it a bit as part of their lives and have got used to it. If they didn’t want it, I’d have a lot of sympathy for them but I think they handle it very well. It enhances their career and I think they’re comfortable with it. How do you relax out of work? The awkward thing in business is you tend never to be away from it because the few time


Which English city has districts named Belgrave, Stoneygate and Aylestone?

Aylestone : definition of Aylestone and synonyms of Aylestone (English) Aylestone is a suburb of Leicester , England at grid reference SK572008 . It is south-west of the city centre , but to the east of the River Soar . It was formerly a separate village, but the growth of the city has meant that it is now part of the urban area, largely surrounded by 20th century housing. However, the area around the parish church of St Andrew retains much of the former village character. Aylestone Hall has recently been restored, it was the home of Dorothy Vernon, who is related to the Dukes of Rutland, (see Belvoir Castle). Aylestone Park is not a park but an area of housing half-a-mile square, which grew between the city and the village and which has housing generally built between 1875 and 1920. Aylestone Meadows is a large area of playing fields and water-meadow nearby, and contributes to the semi-rural character of the suburb. Plans by Leicester City Council to bulldoze an area within the Aylestone Meadows to make way for (an artificial sports pitch, single storey club house with associated 4.5 metre fencing, 16metre high floodlights, car parking and landscaping), were defeated on 21 March 2011 when the Planning Committee rejected the plans. Many groups including Aylestone Meadows Appreciation Society, Leicester Friends of the Earth, Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust, The Leicester Civic Society and The Campaign for Rural England all helped rally support against the plans. It was the first time that an E-Petition on Leicester City Council's website had ever been used. Aylestone is the name of two output areas used in the UK Census . One, code 00FNNG, is centred on the Leicester location; the other, code 00GANY, is centred on Aylestone Hill ( grid reference SO520407 ), Herefordshire .   External links


In the cartoon, what is the name of 'Calvin's' friend and confidante?

What is the significance behind the names Calvin and Hobbes? - Quora Quora What is the significance behind the names Calvin and Hobbes? I know they refer to John Calvin and Thomas Hobbes. But why? Let me add a few more points to Samarth's more definitive answer. Since Watterson is American, it stands to reason that he may be poking fun at his own countrymen (and women). The philosophers Thomas Hobbes and John Calvin had great influence on American culture and thought. Many Calvinists sailed to the New World on the Mayflower, setting up house in the Northeast. Notably, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts had the highest concentration of Calvinists. In other words, many Puritans believed in Calvinism (among other sects). Calvinism deeply influenced Puritan New England culture and government. Arguably, that influence remains, even today. (I've heard Americans called prisses more than once.) Hobbes also had quite an influence, but mostly during the Continential Congress period of the Founding Fathers. Hobbes took a dim view of humans left to their own devices. Hobbes, however, espoused more of an authoritarian government than the Founding Fathers. (They preferred Locke's view of inalienable rights and natural laws for the government.) The Founding Fathers adopted an Hobbesian view of their own governments, installing a complex system of checks and balances. Basically, Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin, Hanock and the others, in a true Hobbesian fashion, planned for corruption, abuse of power, and other human foibles within our government. Watterson, by naming Calvin and Hobbes after the philosophers may be poking fun at our dour forefathers. In addition to influencing American history and government, Calvin and Hobbes (the dead white dudes) were a dour pair. Calvinism believes in something called "sovereign grace". God determines man's entire fate. God can condemn one man and save another at will. Calvinism, in sum, espouses divine arbitrariness. It's almost like a religious view of chaos. Kind of depressing. Hobbes believed that without government, without the "social compact", humankind will descend into a fiery pit of mass fighting and slaughter. Hobbes thinks that an effective government, to counter man's natural state, must control the military, education, legislative and judicial branch. I doubt I'd invite either one to a party. One would say, "no matter what you do, some of you are going to hell." The other dude would say, "You're all screwed up, so you need someone to tell you what's up and what's down." Oh, read The Scarlet Letter to see how unfun the Puritans were. Poor Hester, she just wanted some fun. Watterson provides the perfect irony by putting these sticks-in-the-mud in a comic strip. Heh. Best of all, America loves these two depressing guys. ________ Updated Aug 10, 2012 Both Calvin and Hobbes do share the names of philosophers, but I think that is a mixture of coincidence and a conscious attempt by Bill Watterson to give the comic deeper meaning. Interestingly, Calvin was originally going to be called "Marvin" and was only changed in July 1983 after a comic strip by Tom Armstrong having the same name was released in 1982. [1] [2] Later in an interview in 1987, Watterson says that the names "Calvin" and "Hobbes" were " ... a tip of the hat to the political science department at Kenyon College ... I thought it was pretty funny". This claim is refuted by an early biographer and friend for 30 years, Rich West who says that,  "That's not true. The linking of the two names wasn't natural. The strip did not come from the idea that both characters would be named after philosophical thinkers. However, Hobbes was definitely a tip of the hat - and perhaps a bit of a smirk at - his political science degree from Kenyon. Calvin was just a coincidence." Later in the comics, Watterson does end up modeling their characters around their namesakes. For example, John Calvin, a French philosopher, believed in predestination, similar to how Calvin often ponders destiny and blames his faults on other forces. Thomas Hobbes was a


Which car manufacturer produces a model called then 'Forester'?

Where Are Subaru Cars Built? - CarsDirect Where Are Subaru Cars Built? July 18, 2014 Subaru is a car manufacturing division of a huge Japanese transportation conglomerate called Fuji Heavy Industries. Although Subaru is a Japan based company, it has expanded worldwide to produce and sell commercial vehicles in North America, Europe, Oceania, the Middle East and other parts of Asia. Not every single Subaru factory produces every single Subaru model, so the availability of different Subaru models in different areas depends on which models are produced at which factories. The following is a list of some of the places around the world where Subaru vehicles are manufactured and a brief description of which models are made there and the availability of different models. United States The United States is one of the world's largest automobile consumers, so almost all Subaru models are manufactured there, including the Subaru Impreza, the Subaru Impreza WRX, the Subaru Legacy, the Subaru Outback, the Subaru Forester and the Subaru Tribeca. This means that these models are in plentiful supply in the United States, which, combined with the minimal shipping costs, gives residents of the United States the cheapest deals on these new Subaru models. Europe With almost as high of a population of automobile consumers as in the United States, Europe also has multiple Subaru factories. The models that are manufactured in Europe include the Subaru Lexus, the Subaru Impreza, the Subaru Forester, the Subaru Justy, the Subaru Legacy, the Subaru Outback and the Subaru Tribeca. If you live in Europe, you are likely to find many cheap deals on these Subaru models.

The 'Lancaster' bomber of World War II was developed from which other aircraft?

Avro Lancaster Avro Lancaster The Avro Lancaster the most famous of all Avro military aircraft, and without doubt the most successful heavy night bomber to be deployed over Europe, during World War II.    Under the cover of darkness, on May 17, 1943, nineteen Lancaster heavy bombers of Royal Air Force Bomber Command, flew over the coast of occupied Europe on a most secret mission. The crews were specially trained and the aircraft specially prepared to carry barrel shaped bombs designed by Barnes Wallis. As the targets loomed closer, the designated aircraft initiated their attack runs at very low altitude. The first Lancaster released its bomb, followed by the other aircraft in its group, and as each pulled away the crew could see the bomb bouncing along the surface of the lake towards its concrete target, striking it and finally sinking and exploding. Back at base the news broke—Lancasters of 617 Squadron had breached the Moehne, Eder and Sorpe dams in northwest Germany, and had caused major flooding of the vital Ruhr Valley industrial area. The floods had drowned some 1,200 German workers, but the cost was high with the loss of eight RAF Lancaster bombers and crews. This daring venture, and the sinking of the German battleship Tirpitz in a Norwegian fjord in 1944, are the best known of all the exploits of the Lancaster, yet it was as the ceaseless night-time destroyer of German industrial centers and cities that it did most to bring the war to a close.     The Lancaster bomber holds a special place of affection mingled with a great deal of pride in the hearts of British and Commonwealth citizens—feelings which perhaps find their parallel in the hearts of Americans toward the B-17 Flying Fortress . Just as the Spitfire epitomized the Commonwealth's supreme spirit of defiance in the face of seemingly irresistible defeat, so the evening sight and sound of streams of Lancasters "heading out" toward the heartland of the German Reich was the ultimate translation of a war weary people's will to see the Nazi military and industrial machine—the source of colossal suffering for so much of the world—battered into oblivion.     The Lancaster flew for the first time on January 9, 1941 as a four-engine development of the Avro Manchester. The RAF began to equip with Mk Is in early 1942, and used them first on March 10th against targets in Essen. Altogether, more than 7,300 Lancasters were produced in Britain as Mks I to VII and in Canada as Mk Xs, and they dropped more than 608,000 tons of bombs on 156,000 wartime missions. Some Lancasters were still flying with the RAF in the early 1950s as maritime-reconnaissance, photo-reconnaissance and rescue aircraft.     Like all successful aircraft, the Lancaster not only looked good but its flying characteristics matched its appearance. It is all the more ironic therefore that the birth of Avro's mighty machine owed so much to failure, the failure of its immediate predecessor, the twin engine Avro Manchester. The Avro 683 evolved almost accidentally as a result of recurrent failure of the insufficiently developed Rolls Royce Vulture engines installed on the Manchester. The Avro 679 Manchester was the predecessor to the Lancaster, which performed poorly due to the inadequacies of its Rolls Royce Vulture engines.     In May 1936, Group Captain R.D. Oxland, Director of the Air Ministry's Operational Requirements, issued specification P.131/36 for a twin engine bomber capable of carrying internally a 12,000 lb maximum bomb load, or a single 8,000 lb bomb, or a pair of torpedoes. Two firms were invited to build prototypes of their design submissions, Handley Page submitted the HP 56 and Avro the 679. During the trials, the HP 56 was rejected, because of a projected shortage of Rolls-Royce engines. Within weeks of Avro receiving a prototype order, a production order was placed for 200 machines to the new Specification 191/37.     Large when compared with other twin engine aircraft the P.131/36 was actually powered by four Rolls-Royce engines. Under the designation Vultu

"Who won Best Actor 'Oscar' for the 1963 film ""Lilies Of The Field""?"

Sidney Poitier wins Best Actor Oscar for Lilies of the Field - Apr 13, 1964 - HISTORY.com Sidney Poitier wins Best Actor Oscar for Lilies of the Field Share this: Sidney Poitier wins Best Actor Oscar for Lilies of the Field Author Sidney Poitier wins Best Actor Oscar for Lilies of the Field URL Publisher A+E Networks On this day in 1964, Sydney Poitier becomes the first African American to win the Academy Award for Best Actor, for his role as a construction worker who helps build a chapel in Lilies of the Field (1963). Poitier was born in 1924, while his parents were visiting the United States from the Bahamas, where his father was a tomato farmer. As a teenager, Poitier dropped out of school and returned to America to enlist in the U.S. Army during World War II. After his military stint, he became interested in theater and applied to the American Negro Theatre in New York City. Rejected initially because of his strong island accent, Poitier trained himself in American enunciation and reapplied, this time successfully. He debuted on Broadway in 1946 in an all-black production of Lysistrata, and by 1950 he was appearing in Hollywood films, beginning with No Way Out. By consistently refusing to play the stereotypical roles that were offered to him as a black actor, Poitier blazed a trail for himself and the performers who followed him. By the time he earned a Best Actor Oscar nomination for The Defiant Ones (1958), his work in such films as The Blackboard Jungle (1955) had made him America’s first prominent black film star. With his historic Oscar win for Lilies of the Field, Poitier became only the second African American to win an Academy Award. The first was Hattie McDaniel, who won in the Best Supporting Actress category in 1939 for Gone with the Wind. McDaniel played Mammy, the tough but indulgent slave governess to the spoiled Southern belle Scarlett O’Hara. Critics of the film, including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), later pointed to the role as an example of the typical black stereotypes that Hollywood was keeping alive. When presenting Poitier with his Oscar statuette, the actress Ann Bancroft congratulated him with a kiss on the cheek, a gesture that caused a mild scandal among the show’s most conservative audiences. Poitier took part in a more momentous kiss three years later, when he and Katherine Houghton shared the first interracial on-screen kiss in Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? (1967). Related Videos


After whom is the international airport at Venice named?

Airport in Venice Learn a language Airport in Venice Venice (Italian: Venezia), the "city of canals", is the capital of the region of Veneto and of the province of Venice. The city stretches across numerous small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers. Airport in Venice Marco Polo Venice Airport (VCE) is an airport located on the Italian mainland near Venice. The airport was named after the Venetian traveller Marco Polo, who is considered the European rediscoverer of China. It is considered one of the three most important airports in northern Italy (with the two international airports of Milan, Malpensa and Linate). The airport is connected to the nearby railway stations of Venice-Santa Lucia and Mestre-Venice by scheduled bus services, and to Piazza San Marco by water taxi. Why Marco Polo Venice Airport? The distance to the city center is by far the most important reason. From the airport to the city center is it not more then 30 minutes by land taxi or airport bus, and the Lido, the Piazza San Marco, and the other locations in the center are very easy to reach via the Alilaguna airport boat. Many rental car companies operate at Venice Marco Polo Airport. ( check out for availability ) Many large airlines (British Airways, US Airways, Lufthansa etc.) frequently arrive in Marco Polo`s Airport in Venice. Venice Treviso Airport There is a second airport near Venice called Venice Treviso Airport (TSF). It is located about 30 km (18 miles) from venice and considarbly further away then Macro Polo International Airport. This small airport is used by Ryanair for budget flights from/to London, Belgium, Germany and Spain. Several major rental car companies, like Europcar, Hertz and Budget are operating at Venice Trevisio Airport ( check out for availability ).

In which Paris landmark is the tomb of Napoleon I?

Napoleon I And The Tomb Of Napoleon Bonaparte At Les Invalides Contact us Napoleon I and The Tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte at Les Invalides Les Invalides is one of the fascinating monuments in Paris that is a popular place to visit when you are on holiday in Paris .  And not only do you get to see the impressive building and experience the history of Les Invalides, but also you visit the Tomb of Napoleon and the Musee de l’Armee , which is home to the third largest collection of antique armour and arms in the world. And although most people have already heard of Napoleon, we thought we would provide a little bit of history on Napoleon Bonaparte I, before we look at the crypt and the Tomb of Napoleon. Napoleon Bonaparte I Napoleon Bonaparte I was born on the island of Corsica in 1769 and educated at military school, he rose through the ranks and became commander of the French army in Italy where he forced Austria and their allies to make peace. A few years later there was a new threat to France when Austria and Russia allied themselves with Britain and Napoleon Bonaparte I returned to Paris because the French government were in crisis. Then in 1800 Napoleon Bonaparte and his army defeated the Austrians and negotiated a peace treaty with Europe that meant that France had the controlling power and from this he was then made a Consul for life, and he oversaw the creation of the Bank of France, the centralisation of the government and the re-instatement of the Catholic religion. But in 1803 Britain had resumed war on France, then in 1804 Napoleon was made Emperor and rather than trying to invade England after the defeat at Trafalgar in 1805, he focus on Austria and Russia and was victorious after the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805 gaining a large territory that gave him control of Europe. In fact, it was after this victory that he decided upon a triumphal arch that his armies could march through on their way home to Paris and this is why the famous monument in Paris called the Arc de Triomphe was built that is located at the Place d’Etoile now called the Place Charles-de-Gaulle square . The Holy Roman Empire was then dissolved and over the next few years he put family members and loyalists as leaders of countries like Spain, Italy and Holland.  However, after the Peninsular War began in 1808 and the costly defeats of the French over the next few years drained the resources of France dramatically. Paris itself then fell in 1814 and Napoleon Bonaparte went into exile on a Mediterranean island, but in 1815 he escaped and marched on Paris, yet the Battle of Waterloo ended his short second reign and he was imprisoned on the remote Atlantic island of St Helena by the British. It was on this remote island that he died on the 5th May of 1821 at the House of Longwood and was buried a few days later on the estate of Mr Richard Torbett close to a spring.  And even though Napoleon Bonaparte had originally planned a funeral at the Saint Denis basilica just outside of Paris where lots of past French Kings were laid to rest, but just before his death he then requested that he be buried on the banks of the River Seine so that he could be amongst the French people. But obviously this never happened. In fact, his remains were on the island of St Helena for almost twenty years and it had taken King Louis Philippe around seven years of negotiations with the British government in order to bring back his remains to Paris so that Napoleon Bonaparte could at long last rest in peace. The burial of Napoleon Bonaparte I It was in 1840 that King LouisPhilippe ordered the remains of Napoleon to be returned to Paris from the island of St Helena and the Italian born French architect Louis Visconti was chosen to create the tomb that would be positioned within the Eglise du Dome in Les Invalides in the capital city of Paris. A commission was formed that would sail to St. Helena in order to bring back the remains of Napoleon to France and the leader of the expedition was Francois, Prince of Joinville, who was a son of King Louis Philippe.

In the Bible, who was asked to interpret the 'writing on the wall'?

Daniel 5 NIV - The Writing on the Wall - King - Bible Gateway Daniel 5New International Version (NIV) The Writing on the Wall 5 King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his nobles and drank wine with them. 2 While Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets that Nebuchadnezzar his father[ a ] had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them. 3 So they brought in the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them. 4 As they drank the wine, they praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone. 5 Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. 6 His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were knocking. 7 The king summoned the enchanters, astrologers[ b ] and diviners. Then he said to these wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and tells me what it means will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.” 8 Then all the king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or tell the king what it meant. 9 So King Belshazzar became even more terrified and his face grew more pale. His nobles were baffled. 10 The queen,[ c ] hearing the voices of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet hall. “May the king live forever!” she said. “Don’t be alarmed! Don’t look so pale! 11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In the time of your father he was found to have insight and intelligence and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners. 12 He did this because Daniel, whom the king called Belteshazzar, was found to have a keen mind and knowledge and understanding, and also the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles and solve difficult problems. Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means.” 13 So Daniel was brought before the king, and the king said to him, “Are you Daniel, one of the exiles my father the king brought from Judah? 14 I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you and that you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom. 15 The wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this writing and tell me what it means, but they could not explain it. 16 Now I have heard that you are able to give interpretations and to solve difficult problems. If you can read this writing and tell me what it means, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.” 17 Then Daniel answered the king, “You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the writing for the king and tell him what it means. 18 “Your Majesty, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness and glory and splendor. 19 Because of the high position he gave him, all the nations and peoples of every language dreaded and feared him. Those the king wanted to put to death, he put to death; those he wanted to spare, he spared; those he wanted to promote, he promoted; and those he wanted to humble, he humbled. 20 But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory. 21 He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like the ox; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and sets over them anyone he wishes. 22 “But you, Belshazzar, his son,[ d ] have not humbled yourself, though you knew all this. 23 Instead, you have set

Silkworm Shop - How to care for silkworms and how to raise silkworms General Information, Caring For & Breeding Silkworms Background Silkworms are the larva of a moth (Bombyx mori) native to Asia that spins a cocoon of fine, strong, lustrous fiber that is the source of commercial silk. The culture of silkworms is called sericulture. The various species raised today are distinguished by the quality of the silk they produce. Silkworms feed on the leaves of the mulberries (genus Morus) and sometimes on the Osage orange (Maclura pomifera). Bombyx Mori will not bite, making it an ideal worm for feeding most reptiles, amphibians and other animals. And they offer great nutritional value as a live feeder. Mulberry Leaves Newborns are small enough for most baby reptiles to eat and young silkworms can even be fed so they will grow to a desired size. Silkworms are soft-bodied, slow moving and can grow to 3 inches in length. They are also relatively fast growing, reaching about 3 inches in length and ready to cocoon in as little as 25 - 28 days. Silkworm and Cocoon Silkworms go through four stages of development, as do most insects: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Click here to see a life cycle chart . The adult (imago) stage is the silkworm moth. The larva is the caterpillar (not really a "worm" at all). The pupa is what the silkworm changes into after spinning its cocoon before emerging as a moth. Since the silkworm grows so much, it must shed its skin four times while it is growing. These stages-within-a-stage are called instars. Today, the silkworm moth lives only in captivity. Silkworms have been domesticated so that they can no longer survive independently in nature, particularly since they have lost the ability to fly. All wild populations are extinct. Also contributing to their extinction is the extraordinary fact that they only eat mulberry leaves. Silkworms have been used by researchers to study pheromones or sexual attractant substances. The pheromones are released by female moths and the males detect the chemicals with olfactory hairs on their antennae. This allows the male to find the female for mating. The male antennae are made of many small hairs to increase the chances of picking up small amounts of the pheromones over long distances. How to Grow Your Worms to the Perfect Size Silkworm Eggs and Moth The great thing about silkworms is that they only grow as much as you feed them, and they can go for up to a week without food. Keep in mind, however, that they will become dehydrated and begin to die off after a few days without food, and should be fed at least once daily in order to remain healthy. But, in general, if you have too many you can feed them a few times per week and they'll stay alive until you need them without growing too much larger. Wash hands thoroughly before handling the worms or the food or they may develop bacterial problems. Using a cheese grater, grate a small amount of food onto the them and repeat until the caterpillars reach the desired size. For best results, maintain temperatures between 78° and 88° F. Excessive condensation forming in the container after feeding is the leading cause of failure. If this condensation does form, take the lid off your container and allow the container and old food to completely dry out. In the future, make sure the previous food is dry before feeding again. Old damp food is a breeding ground for mold and other problems, dry food is not. A fan can help for quicker dry outs. Newly hatched silkworms are tiny As the silkworms grow, you may need to transfer your worms to a larger plastic container. The lid needs to have ventilation holes. If not, you need to vent the lid so the silkworms won't suffocate and to allow condensation to dissipate. You can also use a shoebox. The old food and waste matter can be removed, but does not have to be if it remains thoroughly dry. Under ideal conditions (78° to 88° F and allowed to feed nearly continuously) silkworms can go from egg to 1 inch in length in about 12 days, and 3 inches in under 30 days. The worms will begin to spin co
