British supermarket chain.
Retails - food, general merchandise, clothing, toys, books, electrical goods.

ASDA History:

Asda Stores Limited was founded in Leeds (in 1949) as Associated Dairies & Farm Stores Limited.
The Asda name occurred in 1965 following the merger of the Asquith chain of supermarkets & Associated Dairies.
Asda is an abbreviation of - Asquith and Dairies.
The dairy division was later sold in a management buyout & renamed Associated Fresh Foods.

Fish and Chip Shop (Food Retail)

Background History:

This food style originated in the United Kingdom.
The first recorded fish and chip shop was opened in London in 1860 (or 1865) by Jewish proprietor Joseph Malin.
Malin came upon the idea of "fish fried in the Jewish fashion", served with chips.
Fish and chips became a cheap food popular among the working classes in the latter 19th century following the rapid development of trawl fishing in the North Sea.

Modern History:

The modern fish-and-chip shop is also known as the "chippy" or "chipper" in modern British slang.
Historically, the smell associated with fish and chip frying led to the classification of fish-and-chip supply as an "offensive trade".
This stigma was only reversed during World War II, as fish and chips remained one of the few foods in the United Kingdom not subject to war-time rationing.
Modern fish and chip shops also sell other foods such as pies, fried chicken, saveloys, mushy peas, curry sauces etc.

Harry Ramsden & Fish-and-Chips:

An unpretentious fish and chip shop opened near Bradford, in Yorkshire, England in 1928.
The proprietor was a Harry Ramsden.
This little shop became a very famous fish & chip shop.
Harry Ramsden's is now the biggest fish and chip shop brand in the world.

Fish and Chips Popular Culture:

Stacey Solomon (The X Factor UK constestant, 2009) once worked in a fish and chip shop - 'At least I got to eat all the saveloys.'

Snowball (Iceball, Slushball) Earth Hypothesis

Snowball Earth Background:

Hypothesis that the Earth was entirely frozen over on 3 separate occasions (Marinoan, Sturtian, Kaigas) during the Cryogenian period (850-630 million years ago).
Evidence for the hypothesis comes from world glacial rock formations which date to the Cryogenian period.

Embryo Of An Idea By Mikhail Budyko:

Mikhail Budyko, a Russian climatologist, in the 1960s developed a climate model to investigate the effect of ice cover on global climate.
Budyko's results suggested that if ice sheets advanced far enough out of the polar regions a feedback ensued where the increased reflectiveness (albedo) of the ice led to further cooling & the formation of more ice.
Eventually the the entire Earth could be covered in ice and stabilized in a new ice-covered equilibrium.
Budyko (1969) concluded that this event could never happened, because his model suggested no way to escape from the simulated outcome. [1]

Snowball Earth Hypothesis Is Born:

"Snowball Earth" was first coined by Joseph Kirschvink (professor of geobiology at the California Institute of Technology) in 1992.[2]
The hypothesis was originally considered to help explain the apparent presence of glaciers at tropical latitudes.[3]

How did the Earth thaw out?

A recent report suggests that the Earth may have been more mudball than snowball.
It was hypothesised that CO2 levels may have risen during the snowball period, leading to a thaw in the Earth, though CO2 levels seem to have been too low for this.
Recent research suggests that areas with a higher level of volcanic dust or weathered rock, may have been able to absorb sunlight enough to cause a rewarming.[1]

Snowball Earth Relationship To Evolution:

Organism size & complexity increased markedly after the end of the Snowball Earth glaciations.
Evolutionary pressures may have been increased by "icehouse-hothouse" cycles, leading to multicellular organism development.
Fluctuations in nutrient levels and oxygen may have contributed to evolutionary selective pressures.
It is hypothesised that kin selection (with organ-like differentiation) may have been a driver for more complex life; this occurring at the expense of individual cell reproduction.
The evolutionary pressure producing high relatedness (i.e. kin selection) associated with glaciations may have helped overcome the reproductive cost of forming a complex animal.

A Litany in Time of Plague (Poem by Thomas Nashe) 1600

Interesting Facts:

A Litany in Time of Plague was written by Thomas Nashe (1567-1601).
The poem was published in 1600, shortly before Nashe's death.
The poem lyric originally came from A Pleasant Comedy, Called Summer's Last Will and Testament., which was performed for the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1592.
The 16th century was a time of many plagues, so the sentiments of the poem would likely have been widely held in the population.
The litany of the poem title describes the inability to escape death - the witty, the rich, the beautiful, the strong - have no special claim to plague immunity.
The refrain, "I am sick, I must die. / Lord, have mercy on us, " reminds the reader to prepare for their destiny in heaven.
Some critics have suggested that the inevitability, & the social indifference, of death in the poem could be seen as a plague itself.

A Litany in Time of Plague

Adieu, farewell, earth's bliss;
This world uncertain is;
Fond are life's lustful joys;
Death proves them all but toys;
None from his darts can fly;
I am sick, I must die.
Lord, have mercy on us!

Rich men, trust not in wealth,
Gold cannot buy you health;
Physic himself must fade.
All things to end are made,
The plague full swift goes by;
I am sick, I must die.
Lord, have mercy on us!

Beauty is but a flower
Which wrinkles will devour;
Brightness falls from the air;
Queens have died young and fair;
Dust hath closed Helen's eye.
I am sick, I must die.
Lord, have mercy on us!

Strength stoops unto the grave,
Worms feed on Hector brave;
Swords may not fight with fate,
Earth still holds open her gate.
"Come, come!" the bells do cry.
I am sick, I must die.
Lord, have mercy on us!

Wit with his wantonness
Tasteth death's bitterness;
Hell's executioner
Hath no ears for to hear
What vain art can reply.
I am sick, I must die.
Lord, have mercy on us!

Haste, therefore, each degree,
To welcome destiny;
Heaven is our heritage,
Earth but a player's stage;
Mount we unto the sky.
I am sick, I must die.
Lord, have mercy on us!

FIDE (Fédération Internationale des Échecs) World Chess Federation

FIDE General Facts:

The Fédération Internationale des Échecs or World Chess Federation.
International organization that connects the various national chess federations around the world.
Acts as the governing body of international chess competition.
Usually known as FIDE from its French acronym.
Its motto is Gens una sumus, meaning "We are one people".
FIDE controls the International Chess Elo Ratings list.

FIDE History:

FIDE was founded in Paris, France on July 20, 1924, as a kind of players' union.
Alekhine, the reigning world champion in 1928, agreed to place future matches for the world title under the auspices of FIDE.
Max Euwe, whilst negotiating his 1937 World Championship re-match with Alexander Alekhine, proposed that if he retained the title FIDE should manage both nomination of future challengers and also conduct the championship matches.

Chess Politics:

FIDE was involved in a number of controversies with the late Bobby Fischer regarding candidates matches, & subsequent defense of his world title.
During Max Euwe's period as president of FIDE (1970-1978) he strove to increase the number of member countries.
The next president, Florencio Campomanes (president 1982-1995) of the Philippines, continued the policy started by Euwe.
As a result of there now being alot more weak chess playing nations, it has been commented that FIDE decisions could be easily manipulated.
Further controversy erupted in 1992 when Kasparov & Nigel Short concluded that FIDE had failed to get them the best financial deal available & so announced that they would "play under a new body, the "Professional Chess Association" (PCA).
The 2 separate World Championships (FIDE & PCA) were not rejoined until 2006 when a re-unification match was played between Vladimir Kramnik & Veselin Topalov, which Kramnik won.
The current FIDE president is Kirsan Ilyumzhinov.
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov is also president of Kalmykia, an autonomous Republic in Russia.
FIDE has also become recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1999.
There has, however, been considerable controversy regarding the introduction of the IOC's anti-drugs rules to chess competition.
The implementation of IOC anti-drugs rules relates to FIDE's attempts at becoming part of the Olympic Games movement.

FIDE Presidents:

1924–1949 - Alexander Rueb (25 years)
1949–1970 - Folke Rogard (21 years)
1970–1978 - Max Euwe (8 years)

Pest House Ruins St. Helens Plague Quarantine Station (Isles of Scilly) From 1764

Pest House History:

The Pest House is on the uninhabited island of St. Helens (Isles of Scilly).
It is the ruins of a 3 roomed granite & brick building which was built in the 18th Century (1764) for the isolation of people from passing ships who were suspected of carrying the plague.
St Helens Pest House replaced Old Grimsby (on Tresco Island) in 1764 as the plague quarantine station.
In the 1760s an Act of Parliament decreed that any ship approaching the British isles via Scilly would have to abandon any of its passengers or crew who showed signs of any contagion.
These people had to stay in this stone quarantine station until they either died or recovered.
Few people recovered because the sufferers of even harmless disorders (such as rosacea, acne) had to share bedstraw with seriously contagious patients (i.e. bubonic plague or cholera).
The associated graveyard includes passengers from africa and asia who died at the station.
There is also a grave of a 27 year old naval surgeon who was sent to treat the sick and died within a week himself.

Lollardy (Medieval Political and Religious Movement)

Important Lollardy Facts:

Political and religious movement of the Lollards.
Present from the mid-14th century till the English Reformation.
Lollards were followers of the theologian John Wycliffe (pictured).
The Lollards demands were primarily for Western Christianity reform.

Lollardy Beliefs:

Originated from an interest in the writings of John Wycliffe.
There was no central belief system, no official doctrine, & no single authority.
Like most protestants they worshipped Christ in his divine nature alone.
They were anticlerical, in that they did not accept the corruption within the Western Church nor the divine appointment of Church leaders.
They also began the process of translation of the bible into the vernacular so that more of the English peasantry could read the Bible.
The Twelve Conclusions of the Lollards were petitioned to Parliament by posting them on the doors of Westminster Hall in February 1395.
They also stated that the Roman Catholic Church had been corrupted by temporal matters & its claim to be the true church was not justified by its heredity.
Lollards also had a tendency toward iconoclasm, particularly as icons were seen as dangerous because of the potential of leading to idolatry.
They also believed in a lay priesthood, and felt that confession was unnecessary as priests had no special power to absolve sins.
Lollards also did not believe in the practice of clerical celibacy.
They also denounced the ritualistic aspects of the Church such as transubstantiation, exorcism, pilgrimages, & blessings.
Several Lollard writings also made the claim that the Pope was the antichrist, though generally they believed that the whole papal system embodied the antichrist.

Lollardy History:

Lollardy was attacked as heresy from it's first beginnings.
There was some initial protection from John of Gaunt (and other anti-clerical nobility), who used Lollard-advocated religious reform to obtain more revenue from England’s monasteries.
The University of Oxford, also by protecting John Wycliffe on the grounds of academic freedom, gave some protection to their own academics.
Lollardy was placed under serious peril when the Peasant’s Revolt occurred in 1381, because John Ball (peasant leader) was a lollardy follower.
The royalty & nobility, following the Peasant's Revolt, also became concerned that Lollardy was a threat to the English social order.
John of Gaunt's leaving England in pursuit of the throne of Castile (through his 2nd wife) also made the Lollardy cause more vulnerable.

Religious Resistance:

Thomas Arundel, Archbishop of Canterbury, was fiercely resistant to Lollardy.
John Badby, a layman & artisan who refused to renounce his Lollard views was burnt at the stake for heresy.

Royal Resistance:

King Henry IV (son of John of Gaunt) passed the De heretico comburendo in 1401 which prohibited the translating or owning of the Bible & also authorised the burning of heretics at the stake.

The Lollard Knights:

Group of gentry active during the reign of Richard II.
Known for an inclination to the religious reforms of John Wycliffe.
Principal Knights were Sir Thomas Latimer, Sir John Trussel, Sir Lewis Clifford, Sir John Peachey, Sir Richard Storey, & Sir Reginald Hilton.
They were men of discretion, & rarely gave any hint of open rebellion.
They managed to hold important positions and not be prosecuted during their lives.

Sir John Oldcastle and Lollardy:

He was the basis for Falstaff in William Shakespeare's Henry IV (pictured).
Oldcastle was brought to trial in 1413 once his Lollardy beliefs had been uncovered.
He managed to escape from the Tower of London, & tried to organize a rebellion, but failed.
He was executed for his beliefs & crimes.

Lollardy & The English Reformation:

Lollards were absorbed in to the Protestantism movement during the Reformation.
Since Lollardy had been an underground movement for > 100 years, the extent of Lollardy & its ideas at the time of the Reformation is still uncertain.
