The Movie Hunger, the Life of Bobby Sands, Part Two
Republican prisoners had organised a series of protests seeking to regain their previous political prisoner status.

In 1980 Sands was selected as Officer Commanding of the Provisional IRA at Long Kesh succeeding Brendan...

The Most Mysterious Maritime Mystery Ever - The Marie Celeste, Part One
The Marie Celeste, (in fact, in reality it was called the Mary Celeste), is the greatest maritime mystery of all time. She was built in 1861 by Joshua Dewis in Nova Scotia, Canada and was initially named the Amazon. The Amazon was rather calamitous; her first captain died of pneumonia within a week of taking charge; his replacement struck a fishing trawler, forcing the ship to return to the shipyards for repairs where it subsequently caught fire; on it's first trans-Atlantic crossing it once again collided with another vessel. In 1867, she ran aground during a storm in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada; it was the final straw, her owners, sick and tired of it's bungling sold her to James H. Winchester...
The Pop Art Movement
Pop Art developed slightly differently in America and Britain but in quite a curious way - American Pop artists were inspired by the burgeoning consumerist, media driven, fame obsessed culture of America whereas in Britain they were inspired by the same - but different - they were looking in at it from the safe or annoying barrier of the Atlantic. Pop Art was an affirmation of this culture not a repudiation, there was a satirical quality to it but it was far from the Dadaist destruction of artefacts of mass culture. Pop artists were far from detached, they appeared completely swallowed by pop culture, indeed some became more pop than pop itself. Like the culture that they were interpreting, their...

When you boil vegetables, they leach their color together with their minerals, vitamins and potential nutritional value. The darker and more vibrant the vegetable the more obvious this is; it is always preferable to steam fresh beetroots because their color is obvious in the water after boiling. Today nutritionists are observing that uncut vegetables such as carrots are more nutritious than boiled carrot slices, because the nutritional value is locked into the whole vegetable. A study by the British Newcastle University Schools of Agriculture, Food and rural development found that boiling whole carrots increased the amount of carrots anti cancer properties in the form of a polyacetylene compound...

His mother was a devout Catholic and although clashing with his father's ideologies, the young Benito was sent to a Catholic boarding school . Far from being the model student he was expelled for riotous behaviour, he was sent to another school where he knuckled down and achieved good grades, qualifying as an elementary schoolmaster. He left Italy in 1902, partly to escape military service and partly to break out of the small...
