RAAF crash: Memorial service held for WWII crew after plane wreck found off Broome. Posted The families of two men killed during World War II gathered at dawn at a beach in Broome for a memorial service they have waited 70 years for. Flight Sergeants Ronald Smith and Ronald Kerrigan were killed in September 1944 when their RAAF Beaufighter crashed just after take-off in the waters off Broome. But for many years the plane wreck could not be found, and their bodies were never recovered. Two years ago two amateur historians decided to solve the mystery once and for all, beginning a painstaking search using a small boat and donated sonar equipment. In June, they were able to phone the men's families with the news they had been waiting for — the wreck had been found. Now a memorial plaque has been erected high on the grass overlooking Cable Beach, less than two kilometres from the men's final resting place.
It's nice that they're recognised. Val Bullied was 15 years old when she got the news her brother Ronald Kerrigan had been killed. She said it was an emotional morning. VideoLAN - Downloads.

Brisingamen - Freyja's Necklace Freyja's most famous and referred to affectation is her necklace. It's exact design and meaning have been debated for generations. Unfortunately for us, a great number of modern yarns have been written in English from the 19th century to today imposing alien morals and tastes. The worst issue of them them all is the 19th Century romantic movement to rewrite Freyja into a proper English maiden. Padraic Colum, for instance, rewrites her into a brainless victim of gang-rape for whom the necklace was a shiny trinket to eternally remind her of innocence lost.
In any case, the Brising necklace is so simple an object that it is often assumed to be both more and less than it really is. On the one hand, it is Her most perfect symbol. What Is Her Necklace? Snorri Sturlusson describes it as made of gold bearing one or more jewels. There is no further description of the necklace and no specifics on the jewel or jewels. Who are the Brisings? What does the Necklace do? Musicals & Revues: B. J. Simmons & Co., 1889-1959. The English musical and musical revue had a different genesis than in America, often being of a more satirical nature or in contrast being outrageously romantic and sentimental. These enormously popular musical entertainments formed a large portion of the Simmons output for many decades. Those researching the work of Gilbert and Sullivan will find the collection includes designs for some of the first productions of these operettas so beloved by English audiences.

The Mitford family in 1921 The Mitford family is a minor aristocratic English family whose main family line had seats at Mitford, Northumberland. Several heads of the family served as High Sheriff of Northumberland. A junior line, with seats at Newton Park, Northumberland, and Exbury House, Hampshire, descends via the historian William Mitford (1744–1827) and were twice elevated to the British peerage, in 1802 and 1902, under the title Baron Redesdale.[1] The Mitford sisters are William Mitford's great-great-great-granddaughters.
The sisters, six daughters of David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale, and Sydney Bowles, became celebrated and at times scandalous figures that were caricatured, according to The Times journalist Ben Macintyre, as "Diana the Fascist, Jessica the Communist, Unity the Hitler-lover; Nancy the Novelist; Deborah the Duchess and Pamela the unobtrusive poultry connoisseur".[2] Background[edit] The Mitford siblings[edit] Mitford sisters[edit] Thumbnail biographies[edit] From Migrant Food to Lifestyle Cooking: The Career of Italian Cuisine in Europe.
In recent decades, Italian cuisine has had a greater impact upon the development of eating habits than any other national cuisine. Spaghetti, pizza, tiramisù und espresso are ubiquitous in Europe and North America. This article reconstructs the reception of Italian cuisine in Europe, identifying and separating the complex tangle of factors that contributed to it.
These included the image of Italy in art and literature, the movements of tourists and migrants, the role – which for a long time has generally been ignored – of the Italian state in promoting foreign trade and the economy, and the impact of epidemiology. Introduction For a long time, there has been a consensus in anthropology and other academic disciplines that eating and drinking are central elements of human identity. Indeed, the career of Italian cuisine can only be understood as a transfer process in which the eaters are not passive but rather actively reconfigure their diets.
