Hull, Evolution of a City A Jonathan Webb Documentarry
Hull, Evolution of a City is a 7 min 18sec Historical and Contemporary Documentary Film about how Hull was once a major and significant part of the shipping and fishing industry, and how today that prestigious heritage has been stored away in The Hull Maritime Museum, and has been forgotten because of the mass consumer and entertainment society which seems to have taken over the city of Hull. The documentary attempts to suggest that today people think of Hull as a large city of shops and restaurants but through visual repetition and variation Hull, Evolution of a City shows there is more to Hull than this.

THE WELSH MINER - THE BITTER END
As early as 1914 economical and political concepts were moulding the future of the Welsh colliers and jeopardising the existence of many valley towns and coal pits. This DVD examines the years from the start of World War One to the 1980s and the aftermath of 'the bitter end'. War, strikes, depression and political and environmental wrangling would ultimately see a once thriving, vital industry and the proud men who worked in it decimated and many a town and village fall by the wayside. Featuring extensive interviews of current and ex-miners, period imagery and archive footage, this DVD delves into the often humourous but always proud history of Welsh mining.

STORYLINE
Residents of Johannesburg woke on Friday to an historic day that will see the start of Africa's first World Cup.
But the day that has long been planned as a celebration for nation and continent was also marked by tragedy after the death of Nelson Mandela's 13-year-old great-granddaughter.
Zenani Mandela was killed in a car accident on the way home from a World Cup concert in Soweto on Thursday night, where tens of thousands of people had sung and danced with headline music stars Shakira and the Black Eyed Peas.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation rejected media reports that the former president's ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was in the car, although her family said she was treated in hospital for shock.
A spokesman for the foundation asked that the Mandela family be given space to mourn.
The foundation said later Mandela would not attend Friday's World Cup opening ceremony and game in Johannesburg, dashing South Africans' hopes the frail 91-year-old former president would make a rare appearance.
Mandela and his family were torn up by the accident, the foundation added.
Mandela would be at the ceremony in spirit, a foundation spokesman added.
Mandela has largely retired from public life although as of Thursday it had been anticipated he would make a brief appearance at Soccer City on Friday, depending on his health and the weather conditions.
Excitement about the flagship football tournament has been mounting and reached fever pitch over the past few weeks.
Commuters at bus stops and train stations were serenaded by supporters in colourful costumes blowing plastic trumpets or vuvuzela's.
Newspaper headlines with messages of support for the South African national team, or Bafana Bafana, as it is also known, were on every newsstand in town.
The buzzy atmosphere was paired with an heavy security apparatus, evident in Johannesburg and in Soweto, near the Soccer City stadium where South Africa was opening the tournament on Friday afternoon with a game against Mexico.
Of course Bafana Bafana is going to take it today, they are going to make it maybe 2-0, said one supporter at a bus stop in Soweto.
France, the losing finalist in Germany four years ago, was playing two-time champion Uruguay in the other Group A match later on Friday in Cape Town.
In Rustenburg, England and the United States were holding official practice sessions on Friday about 24 hours ahead of their opening match.
Diego Maradona's Argentina squad was holding its final practice session at Ellis Park ahead of its opening Group B match on Saturday against Nigeria.

SUMMARY
=======
The Maritime history of the United Kingdom involves events including shipping, ports, navigation, and seamen, as well as marine sciences, exploration, trade, and maritime themes in the arts from the creation of the kingdom of Great Britain as a united, sovereign state, on 1 May 1707 in accordance with the Treaty of Union, signed on 22 July 1706. Until the advent of air transport and the creation of the Channel Tunnel, marine transport was the only way of reaching the British Isles. For this reason, maritime trade and naval power have always had great importance.
Prior to the Acts of Union, 1707, the maritime history of the British Isles was largely dominated by that of England. (See Maritime history of England for more details.)
Andy's National Trust Travel Blogs: Lanhydrock, Cornwall, 1640's house PART TWO
There are 500+ places of interest in the UK under the National Trust banner and I will be attempting to visit as many as I can, reporting as I do all the important stuff relative to accessibility.
Lanhydrock is unquestionably one of the most impressive (and popular) historic houses in Cornwall. Built of local grey slate and granite around an inner courtyard, the house dates to 1640, though most of the current building was the result of rebuilding after a fire in 1881.

SUMMARY
=======
Douglas MacArthur (26 January 1880 – 5 April 1964) was an American five-star general and Field Marshal of the Philippine Army. He was Chief of Staff of the United States Army during the 1930s and played a prominent role in the Pacific theater during World War II. He received the Medal of Honor for his service in the Philippines Campaign, which made him and his father Arthur MacArthur Jr. the first father and son to be awarded the medal. He was one of only five to rise to the rank of General of the Army in the US Army, and the only one conferred the rank of field marshal in the Philippine Army.
Raised in a military family in the American Old West, MacArthur was valedictorian at the West Texas Military Academy, and First Captain at the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he graduated top of the class of 1903. During the 1914 United States occupation of Veracruz, he conducted a reconnaissance mission, for which he was nominated for the Medal of Honor. In 1917, he was promoted from major to colonel and became chief of staff of the 42nd (Rainbow) Division. In the fighting on the Western Front during World War I, he rose to the rank of brigadier general, was again nominated for a Medal of Honor, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross twice and the Silver Star seven times.
From 1919 to 1922, MacArthur served as Superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he attempted a series of reforms. His next assignment was in the Philippines, where in 1924 he was instrumental in quelling the Philippine Scout Mutiny. In 1925, he became the Army's youngest major general. He served on the court martial of Brigadier General Billy Mitchell and was president of the American Olympic Committee during the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. In 1930, he became Chief of Staff of the United States Army. As such, he was involved in the expulsion of the Bonus Army protesters from Washington, D.C. in 1932, and the establishment and organization of the Civilian Conservation Corps. He retired from the US Army in 1937 to become Military Advisor to the Commonwealth Government of the Philippines.
MacArthur was recalled to active duty in 1941 as commander of United States Army Forces in the Far East. A series of disasters followed, starting with the destruction of his air forces on 8 December 1941, and the invasion of the Philippines by the Japanese. MacArthur's forces were soon compelled to withdraw to Bataan, where they held out until May 1942. In March 1942, MacArthur, his family and his staff left nearby Corregidor Island in PT boats and escaped to Australia, where MacArthur became Supreme Commander, Southwest Pacific Area. Upon his arrival, MacArthur gave a speech in which he famously promised I shall return to the Philippines. After more than two years of fighting in the Pacific, he fulfilled that promise. For his defense of the Philippines, MacArthur was awarded the Medal of Honor. He officially accepted Japan's surrender on 2 September 1945 aboard USS Missouri anchored in Tokyo Bay, and oversaw the occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1951. As the effective ruler of Japan, he oversaw sweeping economic, political and social changes. He led the United Nations Command in the Korean War with initial success; however, the controversial invasion of North Korea provoked Chinese intervention. Following a series of major defeats he was removed from command by President Harry S. Truman on 11 April 1951. He later became chairman of the board of Remington Rand.

SUMMARY
=======
Sir Charles Kuen Kao (4 November 1933 – 23 September 2018) was a Hong Kong electrical engineer and physicist who pioneered the development and use of fibre optics in telecommunications. In the 1960s, Kao created various methods to combine glass fibres with lasers in order to transmit digital data, which laid the groundwork for the evolution of the Internet. Communication as we know it, including the Internet, would not exist without fiber optics, said William Wulf, president of the National Academy of Engineering in 1999.Known as the Godfather of Broadband, the Father of Fibre Optics, and the Father of Fiber Optic Communications, Kao was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics for groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibers for optical communication.Kao held citizenships in the United Kingdom and the United States, and was a permanent resident of Hong Kong. However, in an interview in 2000, he stated that he belongs and did not consider himself tied to any particular country nor ethnic group. In an open letter that co-written by Kao and his wife in 2009, further declared Charles [Kao] really does belong to the world! However, in February 2010 open letter by the couple, it declared Charles studied in Hong Kong for his high schooling, he has taught here, he was the Vice-Chancellor of CUHK and retired here too...... So he is a Hong Kong belonger.

SUMMARY
=======
The Designation Scheme is an English system that awards Designated status to museum, library and archive collections of national and international importance. The Scheme is administered by Arts Council England (ACE). As of 2018, 148 collections are officially designated, with 140 recognized as 'outstanding'. National museums are not eligible for Designated status.
The Scheme was first launched in 1997 under the auspices of what eventually became the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) and originally covered only museum collections. Harewood House became the first stately home to be awarded Designated status in 1998. The scheme was expanded to cover libraries and archives in 2005. Responsibility was transferred to the Arts Council in October 2011 following the closure of the MLA.

SUMMARY
=======
The Axis powers (German: Achsenmächte; Italian: Potenze dell'Asse; Japanese: 枢軸国 Sūjikukoku), also known as the Rome–Berlin–Tokyo Axis, were the nations that fought in World War II against the Allies. The Axis powers agreed on their opposition to the Allies, but did not completely coordinate their activity.
The Axis grew out of the diplomatic efforts of Germany, Italy, and Japan to secure their own specific expansionist interests in the mid-1930s. The first step was the treaty signed by Germany and Italy in October 1936. Benito Mussolini declared on 1 November that all other European countries would from then on rotate on the Rome–Berlin axis, thus creating the term Axis. The almost simultaneous second step was the signing in November 1936 of the Anti-Comintern Pact, an anti-communist treaty between Germany and Japan. Italy joined the Pact in 1937. The Rome–Berlin Axis became a military alliance in 1939 under the so-called Pact of Steel, with the Tripartite Pact of 1940 leading to the integration of the military aims of Germany, Italy and Japan.
At its zenith during World War II, the Axis presided over territories that occupied large parts of Europe, North Africa, and East Asia. There were no three-way summit meetings and cooperation and coordination was minimal, with slightly more between Germany and Italy. The war ended in 1945 with the defeat of the Axis powers and the dissolution of their alliance. As in the case of the Allies, membership of the Axis was fluid, with some nations switching sides or changing their degree of military involvement over the course of the war.
