Winter is here, says the Army As the clocks change and autumnal gales begin to blast the British Isles, the Army has decided that winter is here. Soldiers guarding prestigious locations, such as Buckingham Palace, St James's Palace, The Tower of London, Windsor Castle and the Queen's Life Guard at Horse Guards, were given the go ahead to appear in 'winter order' from 0800 hours on 27 October. Winter order sees the iconic red tunics of the Foot Guards covered by the Athol grey, great coat and the mounted troops of the Household Cavalry adopt their blue and red capes. The red uniforms now appear only as ceremonial dress, but in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, soldiers would wear them in battle. The great coat was a much needed item of clothing in freezing conditions in Russia and northern Europe. It was worn for warmth in the Crimean War in the 1850s, with the red tunic underneath. As temperatures drop soldiers welcome the warmth of an additional layer as they stand guard. First on du ...

On October 25, 1854, the commander-in-chief of British troops during the Crimean War issued an ambiguous order that his subordinates misinterpreted, resulting in the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade against a heavily defended Russian position. Facing artillery and musket fire on three sides, British cavalrymen were slaughtered in droves as they galloped headlong down the so-called "valley of death." Yet because they maintained discipline amid the chaos and even managed to briefly scatter the Russians, the British public glorified them. One participant would later describe it as "the most magnificent assault known in military annals and the greatest blunder known to military tactics." A major conflict of the 19th century, the Crimean War claimed at least 750,000 lives, more than even the American Civil War, and had a profound impact on such renowned personalities as British nurse Florence Nightingale and Russian author Leo Tolstoy. It got its start in and around Jerusalem, then part of the Otto ...

EVOLUTION AND CRISES IN NURSING EDUCATION IN NIGERIA Introduction We cannot talk about Nursing Education in Nigeria without mentioning the history and growth of Nursing generally. This will help us to understand our past, plan for the future and ensure professional advancement and excellence in Nursing education and practice. Nursing as it is today started though the efforts of Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War (Ndatsu, 2004) Nursing in Nigeria has evolved through several philosophical eras in the last decade. Having passed through the Nurses' Ordinance of 1947/1959, Registration of Nurses Regulation of 1962 and the legal status of as a professional *** trade union organization, trade Union Decree 21 and 22 of 1978, Decree 54 of 1989 and recently amended decree 54 of 1992. One common phenomenon that prevailed in all these has been that of uplifting the image of nursing. This progress is attributed to the recognition accorded nursing by the society due to unique and essential contributions mad ...

The Children's BBC's Horrible Histories was criticized for inaccurately portraying Crimean War nurse Florence Nightingale racially discriminating fellow nurse, Jamaican-born Mary Seacole, in one of its short clips. An episode of Horrible Histories, a comedy program aimed at showing the shady, appalling and at times scatological side of history, showed Nightingale reject the application made by Mary Seacole for her nursing corps four times because she was from Jamaica and the unit was just "for British girls". The said sketch was originally part of the Vile Victorians series showed way back in 2010 and was then featured in BBC's website, Learning Zone. The particular piece showed a fictional Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole visit a whimsical PR consultant to talk about their respective images. The sketch further went on to show the two actresses discuss how Nightingale went down ...

May 25, 2014 Zephaniah 3:17 "The LORD your God is with you. He is a hero who saves you. He happily rejoices over you, renews you with His love and celebrates over you with shouts of joy." History is loaded with heroes and heroines. Florence Nightingale was honored for revolutionizing nursing care during the Crimean War. Rosa Parks was respected for refusing to sit at the back of the bus at the beginnings of the Civil Rights movement and Marie Curie admired for the discovery of radium and polonium. Or maybe your hero is the nurse in the ER who stayed with you through a difficult time. Heroes often reflect similar traits: courage, determination, a desire for justice. That is why children love to pretend to be heroes. One compound word, however, sums up a hero's mandatory trait: self-sacrifice! They often face health problems, incarceration, life-threatening situations, or death for their causes. How does God fit into the above description of heroes? That is easy. He gave His son Jesus to save ...

As President Vladimir Putin mobilises soldiers on Russia's Ukrainian border and NATO threatens consequences for any interference in eastern Ukraine, the atmosphere of angry rhetoric and brinkmanship seems frighteningly similar to the imperial squabbles of the 19th century that led to the Crimean War. While often thought of as a minor war, nearly 600,000 soldiers died between 1853 and 1856 in the Crimean War; a largely inconclusive conflict that few of them understood. The memoirs of William Howard Russell, a war correspondent who witnessed the Crimean War, were recently translated into Russian and published by Lenizdat, allowing Russians to refresh their collective memory on the war and see events through the eyes of a former enemy. Indeed, a read of Russell's memoirs offers many lessons for the modern reader. As soldiers mobilize near Ukraine, the 19th-century Crimean War seems less and less like ancient history. Any reader of the book will quickly recognize the similar circumstances between the Crimean ...
Last week's theatrical crisis in Ukraine has quickly transformed itself into a restaging of the Crimean War of 1853-56, when Russia fought the Ottoman Empire and its European allies over control of the strategic peninsula that juts into the Black Sea. Only this time, light operatic moments are popping up in the repeat performance, as Washington has joined London and NATO to castigate Russia with pointed words but no hint of bayonets. "Russia has engaged in a military act of aggression against another country," Secretary of State John Kerry declared. "The sovereignty and the territorial integrity of Ukraine has been violated," UK Foreign Minister William Hague said. "I have convened the North Atlantic Council today because of Russia's military action in Ukraine," NATO Secretary General Fogh Rasmussen said, "and because of President (Vladimir) Putin's threat against this sovereign nation." These ominous words followed Russia's decision to secure its Black Sea fleet at Sevastopol and ...
Wing Commander Guy Penrose Gibson, DSO and Bar, DFC and Bar, was awarded the Victoria Cross by His Majesty King George VI at a ceremony at RAF Scampton. Wing Commander Gibson received the meal for his leadership of No. 617 Squadron, The Dambusters, during Operation Chastise, the attack on Germany's Ruhr Valley hydroelectric dams, 16–17 May 1943. The Victoria Cross ranks with the George Cross as the United Kingdom's highest award for gallantry. The first British medal to be created for bravery, the Victoria Cross was instituted in 1856, with the first recipients being personnel honoured for their gallantry during the Crimean War. The bronze Cross, which bears the inscription "For Valour", is cast from the metal of Russian guns captured at Sevastopol during the Crimean campaign. It is awarded "for most conspicuous bravery, or some daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice, or extreme devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy." r/max
Battlefield Balaklava celebrates 70th anniversary of liberation from Nazis: This secluded harbor has been a favored haunt of mariners since at least the time of the ancient Greeks, and it has witnessed countless battles between those vying to possess it. The Battle of Balaklava during the Crimean War is well known for the Thin Red Line action by Scotland's Sutherland Highlanders red-coated 93rd Regiment against the Russian cavalry on 25 October 1854. During World War II there were two bloody encounters at the location: first when the Soviet troops defended and lost it in 1941-1942, and then when the Soviet troops returned to drive the Nazis out of the Crimea in April 1944. The battle for the city of Sevastopol started even before the Germans crossed the border with the Soviet Union, as German planes bombed the city at 3:15 in the morning of June 22, 1941. By October German troops were in Crimea. The Siege of Sevastopol lasted for 250 days, with Balaklava becoming a crucial point of defense of the city. Du ...

From: Ask.com Women's History Also known as: Lady with the Lamp; Flo Florence Nightingale Biography: Born to a comfortable family, Florence Nightingale was educated by governesses and then by her father, with her older sister, Parthenope. She was familiar with the Greek and Latin classical languages, and modern languages of French, German, and Italian. She also studied history, grammar, and philosophy. At twenty, she overcame parental objections to receive tutoring in mathematics. Called to a Mission in Life: On February 7, 1837, Florence Nightingale heard, by her account, the voice of God telling her that she had a mission in life. It took her some years of searching to identify that mission. This was the first of four occasions where Florence Nightingale said she heard the voice of God. By 1844, over parental objections, Florence Nightingale chose a different path than the social life and marriage expected of her by her parents -- she chose to work in nursing, which was then not quite a respectable prof ...

For those who have read this, a soft reminder; to those who have not, you might enjoy it. (MUSIC) Our story today is called "Luck." It was written by Mark Twain. Here is Shep O'Neal with the story. (MUSIC) SHEP O'NEAL: I was at a dinner in London given in honor of one of the most celebrated English military men of his time. I do not want to tell you his real name and titles. I will just call him Lieutenant General Lord Arthur Scoresby. I cannot describe my excitement when I saw this great and famous man. There he sat, the man himself, in person, all covered with medals. I could not take my eyes off him. He seemed to show the true mark of greatness. His fame had no effect on him. The hundreds of eyes watching him, the worship of so many people did not seem to make any difference to him. Next to me sat a clergyman, who was an old friend of mine. He was not always a clergyman. During the first half of his life he was a teacher in the military school at Woolwich. There was a strange look in his eye as he ...
True Charity When thou doest alms let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. – Matt 6:3 There are some people who want every good thing they do well advertised. If they give money to some good cause, they want to have it noticed in the papers. If they are kind to the poor or relieve some case of distress, they are particular that the matter should be duly published. They take pains that their charities shall not fail to be credited to themselves. But this is not the kind of spirit our Lord enjoined on His disciples. He told them that seeking publicity marred the beauty of their alms-giving; that instead of announcing to all men what they had done, they should not even let their own left hand know that their right hand had been doing commendable things. Of course Christ did not mean that we should not be good before people, that we should never give alms save where the act would be absolutely secret. It is the motive that Christ was enforcing. His disciples should never give for the sake of me ...

Chauvinistic compilation as for the propitiative crimean war: nKAvNyop
On federalism, Ukraine, rhetoric & accountability: It started with the EU's ill-conceived attempt at self-landing Ukraine unilaterally into a more positive and sustainable future, presumably, for the common good. I'd like to cite two examples of the softening power of federalism. First, Henry Kissinger in 'Diplomacy' (1994) wrote about the lack of political culture of moderation in the militaristic Germany, united by Bismarck as a Greater Prussia. This critical flaw wouldn't dissipate and would ultimately make Germany want to go to war. Our great poet and thinker Fyodor Tyutchev, who spent 20 years in Munich as a diplomat, wrote in the late 1840s that there was no room in Europe for a united Germany as an empire, only as a federation. History proved him right, but it took two world wars to arrive at the rational solution. It also proves that such issues are of legitimate interest to others. The history of the first German unification bears witness to something else. The Crimean War, unleashed fo ...

Mary Jane Seacole (1805 – 14 May 1881), sometimes known as Mother Seacole or Mary Grant, was a Jamaican nurse best known for her involvement in the Crimean War. She set up and operated boarding houses in Panama and the Crimea to assist in her desire to treat the sick. Seacole was taught herbal remedies and folk medicine by her mother, who kept a boarding house for disabled European soldiers and sailors.
For anyone who believes it is a waste of time to study history and that it doesn't repeat itself I challenge you to compare what is happening now in the Ukraine with what happened during the Crimean War of 1853. Some things don't change and apparently Russian expansionism is one of those.

March 27, 2014 Sovereign Valley Farm, Chile Today just happens to be the 160th anniversary of Britain and France's declaration of war on Russia in what would eventually become known as the Crimean War. Part 1. At the time, Russia was a rising power. By the 1850s, Tsar Nicholas I had expanded Russia's domain into Ukraine and Crimea seeking warm water ports on the Black Sea, and it scared the bejeezus out of the rest of Europe. Other nations in the region-- particularly France and the Ottoman Empire, were in obvious decline. By 1854, the Ottoman Empire was only a few years away from outright default, and France was desperate to regain some of its geopolitical glory from the previous century. All of this should sound familiar. As Mark Twain said, history might not necessarily repeat, but it certainly rhymes. Today there is conflict once again in Crimea. And just as before, it has nothing to do with Crimea, but with several other powers trying to keep a rising power in check. Let's be honest-- most human bein ...

We must understand that in these minutes of anxiety it's not enough to appeal to the countries-guarantors of Ukraine's sovereignty and to the international community to punish the aggressor. This, in fact, is a call for war ... We must urgently suggest a Ukrainian vision of terms of possible peace (settling of the cr ...
On history rhyming: "Russians were told Brits, French fight for the devil & they must avenge st. Vladimir"-Orlando Figes on 1st Crimean War
To my friends who don't know much about Crimea. Crimea is an island-like peninsula in southern Ukraine, extending into the Black Sea. Historically, the antiquity name Tavria, was populated over 4,000 years ago mainly by ancient ukrainians called Skifs (Ukrainian symbolism is much owed to Skifs, including the golden-blue flag). Over 2,000 years ago Romans and Greeks colonized it. Later Crimea and the rest of Ukrainian land was overrun by Ostrogoths, Huns, and Mongols. Mongol Tatars renamed Tavria into Crimea (old turkish language, Krym short of Qirim). Conquered by the Ottoman Turks Empire in 1475, the area was annexed by the new Russian Empire in 1783. The peninsula was the scene of the Crimean War (1853-1856), in which a coalition of English, French, and Turkish troops defeated the Russians, although Crimea itself did not change hands. As a result of the Bolshevik's revolution in Russian Empire in 1917 and creation of Soviet Union in 1922, Ukraine become a Soviet Ukrainian Republic and Crimea became an a ...

"The Charge of the Light Brigade" is a paean to British forces fighting against the Russians in the Crimean War. It's not about Crimean soldiers. Also, it seems that there are certain stories about the Cold War that we easily revisit: Russians against Americans. The upheaval in Ukraine seems like it fits into that narrative. There are others, such as US-funded Latin American death squads terrorizing various countries during the 1980s, that we prefer to ignore or forget. Maybe this is part of why Ukraine gets so much media attention and the recent chaos in Venezuela does not...?
853-1856 Crimean War: military blunders and the birth of war photography. The Ottoman Empire was crumbling then,...
Over the past week, images of troops massing in Crimea have been broadcast to millions around the globe. It so happens that the first ever official war photographs were from the very same region. In 1853, the Russian Empire fought the allied armies of the Ottoman Empire, France and Great Britain in the short but brutal Crimean War that claimed the lives of three quarters of a million soldiers. And for the first time, photographers were able to give people a glimpse of what war was like. Watch the video for the full Last Look:
Many issues are playing out in the geo-political tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and since many people don't understand the mindset of these two nations, many people are dropping the ball. First, Russians and Ukrainians with Byelorussians form the branch of the Eastern Slavic family. Many are Eastern Orthodox Christian, specifically Russian Orthodox, or Ukrainian Orthodox. They're joined by smaller numbers of Roman Catholics as well as Eastern Rite Catholics. Many belong to the Ruthenian Catholic Church, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, or the Russian Greek Catholic Church. They're joined by sizable communities of Jews, Muslims, Atheists, and Agnostics. Since Russia and Ukraine are crossroads nations on the borders of East and West they've experienced a number of invasions, and this defines their modern worldview. Russia for example suffered invasions from Mongols, Turks, the British and French during the Crimean War, which is documented in Toltsoy's "War & Peace," and the Germa ...
There's a lot of history behind the Crimea/Ukraine crisis: SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine — Drawing on his experiences as a young artillery officer in imperial Russia's military during the 1853-56 Crimean War, Leo Tolstoy described in "Sevastopol Sketches" how a wounded Russian soldier whose leg had been amputated above the knee coped with agonizing pain. "The chief thing, your honor, is not to think," Tolstoy's amputee remarked, "If you don't think, it is nothing much. It mostly all comes from thinking." It is advice, however, that virtually nobody in Crimea, particularly not here in Sevastopol, shows any sign of heeding. With nearly every other street named after a Russian general or a gruesome battle, its lovely seafront promenade dominated by a "monument to sunken ships" and its central square named after the imperial admiral who commanded Russian forces against French, British and Turkish troops in the 19th century, Sevastopol constantly feeds thoughts of war and its agonies. Bombarded w ...

"TENACITY, ENDURANCE, COURAGE, COMMITMENT" in all she did. These are the words used by Celia Grandison-Markey, President of The Nurses Association of Jamaica (UK) to describe our Caribbean Woman of the Day, Mary Seacole. Using her much of her own money and driven by the concern she had for native Jamaican men fighting in the Crimean War, Mary Seacole took her healing talent (which included what she called "the arts of Creole medicine as handed down to her by her Jamaican mother), throughout the world, practicing her healing talents, often in the heat of the battlefield. No wonder she was voted THE Greatest Black Briton. Today, many of her known herbal treatments (such as a tea made of cinnamon bark) are validated by medical science and central to the holistic and integrative nutrition movements.

Crimean War of 1854: Russia seeks warm water port and invades. Western powers save the day. Sound familiar?
Things You Should Know About Russia's Incursion Into Crimea... 1. What Is Crimea? Crimea is a semi-autonomous region of Ukraine, which means that while it is part of Ukraine's sovereign territory, it is largely self governed. A beautiful place located on the Black Sea, with rugged mountains leading to sandy beaches, Crimea is a popular tourist destination. It is also a tricky place politically. In 1954 Khrushchev decreed that it become part of Ukraine, a move that many in Russia still see as illegitimate. Just over half of the population are ethnic Russians, a quarter are ethnic Ukrainians and most of the remainder are Crimean Tatars who, having been deported by Stalin in 1944, are fiercely anti-Russian. In 1992, after the collapse of the Soviet Unions, Crimea decided to join the newly independent country of Ukraine. 2. Why Russia Wants It Crimea looms large in Russian history. It was the site of the Crimean War fought in the 1850's against the French, British and Ottoman Empire . Although Russia lost ...

A little history lesson about Ukraine and Crimea may help put recent developments into better perspective. What emerges is a very clear understanding of why both Russia and Ukraine feel that they each have historical precedent to support their positions: Russia believes Ukraine is part of Russia, while Ukraine (or at least parts of Ukraine) believes it to be independent with a brighter future in Europe. Both can lay claim to Crimea. Given such a long and convoluted history, one should not expect a quick and easy solution to tensions in that region. The Crimean peninsula has been the center of many past conflicts, repeatedly colonized and occupied over the centuries. The Russian Empire annexed Crimea in 1783, after numerous wars with the Ottoman Empire. The Crimean War of 1853-56 (which some historians regard as the first truly world war) saw France, Britain, and the Ottomans pitted against Russia. While most of the fighting was on the peninsula, the Crimean War was an attempt to push back against perceiv ...

Are these machines really just here to aid us – or will we end up in a world that mirrors the likes of 'The Terminator', Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein'…or even 'Wall-E'?

Ok so I just checked it and it's been sitting at 1.020 for two weeks. I tasted it and it's not sweet. So would I be good to prime and bottle?
I have two concerns:
1) with such a high gravity fermentation will start back up again and blow the bottles.
2) fermentation has stopped prematurely and it won't carb in the bottles.
Are my first-time-brewer fears justified?
There may be other things going on with your readings,or gravity. Remember, your OG was higher than it should have been all well, and you used extract so the OG should have been pretty controlled.
Extract tends to finish higher for some reason. And if it's a sweet stout there must be some unfermentable sugars in there somewhere to keep it sweet, which would raise the FG to some extent.
I would wager you're fine to bottle.
The sweet stout has lactose in it. I did the . It didn't have any additional unfermentables and it has petered out at 1.020.

THE WORLD'S first wide-scale efficacy testing of a vaccine to prevent AIDS received the go-ahead from the Food and Drug Administration last month, although some scientists remain skeptical about its prospects for success.
The approval allows VaxGen, Inc, a South San Francisco, Calif, biotechnology company that developed the experimental vaccine, called AIDSVAX, to go forward with a 3-year, placebo-controlled phase 3 efficacy trial involving 5000 volunteers at high risk for HIV infection in as many as 40 clinics in the United States and Canada. Once the necessary approvals are secured from Thai health officials, the company expects to begin enrolling 2500 volunteers in 16 clinics in Thailand later this year in a similar trial involving a slightly different vaccine formulation.
