Highbridge Park
Fort George Playground
This playground is named for an American Revolutionary era fortification, Fort George, from which American Revolution War soldiers held the British at bay following the Battle of Brooklyn in 1776, allowing General George Washington (1732-1799) and his army of colonials to escape safely into Westchester and New Jersey.
General George Washington and his band of American Revolutionaries fell back to Manhattan after their disastrous encounter with British General William Howe's (1729-1814) combined force of British infantry and Hessian mercenaries at the Battle of Long Island in 1776. Having ferried his troops from their Brooklyn encampment across the foggy East River after his Continental Army's first engagement, Washington ordered a massive retreat up Manhattan to escape the pursuing British forces. When Howe's men came aground, they found makeshift earthworks and obstacles erected by the colonials to slow down the enemy's advance. Manned by contingents of reserve soldiers, Colonel William Baxter and his Bucks County Pennsylvania militia held off the British advance, allowing Washington's army to escape into New Jersey. The last colonial position to fall on Manhattan was Fort George. The current site of George Washington High School contains a plaque, sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution, which describes the valiant efforts of Baxter and his men against Howe's forces.
Though Washington's forces were safely away, New York had fallen to the British. Fortifying the City against future colonial attacks, the British created a daunting network of forts along Manhattan, including a rebuilt fortification on the former site of Fort George. The British abandoned the fort as well as their other garrisoned land holdings in 1783 with the signing of the Treaty of Paris.
War changed the landscape of what is now the Fort George Hill neighborhood. The British cleared forests and built roads on what used to be known as "birch bark country." Little more than a century later, entrepreneurs built an amusement park in this part of Highbridge Park near George Washington High School. Fort George Amusement Park offered rides like a ferris wheel and toboggan slide; an ice cream parlor; and two music halls, the Star and the Trocadero.
Along with the recreational activities at the park, business ventures were underway. Joseph Schenck sold refreshments at his, "Old Barrel," where he came to know park patron and cinema owner, Marcus Loew, founder of the chain of movie theaters. The two entertainment-minded men joined forces and funds, adding a vaudeville stage onto Schenck's Fort George station. Once this proved successful, Loew and Schenck sold the venue in order to buy an amusement park in New Jersey, which they opened in 1910. By 1935 they heeded the call of Hollywood, sold the Jersey park and crossed the country to join the ranks of the California movie makers. Meanwhile in Fort George, the attractions had continued to bring people together from this neighborhood and beyond, from its 1895 opening, until a 1914 fire razed the amusements and this section of the park.
Parks acquired Fort George Hill by condemnation in 1928 as an addition to Highbridge Park. In 1994, Mayor Giuliani contributed $500,000 for new play equipment and safety surfacing. The playground stands in tribute to an important area in New York City.

Last night, I wrote the following sentence:
Mr [Prince] Naseem, who is not a useless, worthless, waste of space
Even given the quantities of beer, wine and amyl nitrite that I\'d consumed before going online, this is the most shamefully inaccurate thing I\'ve ever said. Consequently, I\'ve committed ritual suicide as a penance and will do any further blogging from beyond the grave.
For the record, of course Prince Naseem is a worthless cunt; sending him to jail was the right thing to do; the people he crashed into are irritating whiners (if someone who harms you gets sent to jail, you should be fucking gracious about the fact that – entirely because of what the person did to you – he is having his life destroyed, because that is what happens to people when they are sent to jail); and stripping him of his MBE is pathetic.

Structured Products
More opportunities for your money
Structured products are combinations of traditional financial instruments (e.g. stocks and bonds) with one or more derivatives utilizing elements such as equities, indices, interest rates, foreign currencies, metals or commodities.
Depending on how financial engineers combine the various elements, you can structure the pay-off profile of a product. No other instrument lets you shape risk/return characteristics as precisely as structured products.
Structured products not only let you benefit from rising prices; they even let you optimize returns when the markets are moving sideways. You can even make money in falling markets. Various products can be used for this, depending on market expectations and the individual risk profile of the investor.
Your advantages:
- You can access new investment themes and markets.
- You can secure positive returns in all market situations.
- You can micro-manage investment risk.
Structured products give you certain claims against the issuer, which is why issuer quality is so important. Risks vary depending on the type of product used. Some structured products are more suited to investors with a small appetite for risk, whereas others carry more risk. What is important is that you understand the risks involved with a specific product and its underlying, and that you discuss these with your client advisor.

I have been fortunate enough to travel to some of the most spectacular areas of natural beauty around the world. During this time I have seen many regions threatened by development, illegal logging, exploitation and poaching, activities that have little or no regard for nature and the need for sustainability. As a result, I founded The European Nature Trust (TENT) in 2001 to help preserve and restore the last remaining areas of wilderness and degraded habitats of Europe.
TENT focuses on two very different regions of Europe that have fascinated me for over 20 years: the Carpathian Mountains of Romania and the Scottish Highlands. This website provides details of projects we have developed in both these areas.
Unfortunately, less than three per cent of global philanthropy goes to supporting nature and wildlife. However, protecting our environment is a win-win strategy. Investing in a "cleaner greener" world will benefit our health and welfare, alleviate poverty, provide jobs and boost rural economies. This vision of the world is something we at TENT work towards and, combined with a love of nature, is what drives me and the dedicated team I work with. I sincerely hope you will be inspired to support our cause.

To link to this article, copy this persistent link:
(Apr 17, 2009) Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende of the Netherlands outlined his government's plan to "invest heavily in the Netherlands' future" in a statement made to the Dutch House of Representatives on March 25, 2009. (Press Release, Government of the Netherlands, Balkenende Presents Measures to Tackle Crisis (Mar. 26, 2009), available at http://www.government.nl/News/Press_releases_and_news_items/2009/March/B
alkenende_presents_measures_to_tackle_crisis.) The government has proposed a new stimulus package of €6 billion (about US$7.9 billion) (equivalent to about 1% of gross domestic product) for 2009 and 2010, to be spent over six years, and drawn up measures to restore public finances and implement needed reforms. Dutch provinces and municipalities are to have an additional €1.5 billion to invest. The spending plan, the government contends, will boost consumption and the economy by €50 billion in the short term. In November 2008, the government had launched an €6 billion stimulus plan for companies and pumped €13.75 billion into the financial system, in addition to purchasing the Dutch operations of Fortis Bank for €16.8 billion. (Id.; Dutch PM Unveils Six-Bln-Euro Stimulus Plan, EUBUSINESS, Mar. 25, 2009, available at http://www.eubusiness.com/news-eu/1237995122.54/.)
Four key aspects of the plan are as follows.
- In the area of work and economic activity, the plan seeks to "ensure that as many people as possible keep their jobs," Balkenende stated, with part-time unemployment benefits to help achieve this aim. Retraining programs will be made available to assist those whose job loss is unavoidable to find new employment quickly. Top priority will be given by the government to preventing youth unemployment.
- To achieve a "clean and innovative economy," the stimulus plan includes investment in sustainability, energy security, renewable energy, and innovation. Among the proposals are schemes for scrapping old cars and for insulating homes.
- In the area of infrastructure and construction, the government will present spending plans for road and waterway maintenance and for improvement of school and hospital buildings or the construction of new ones. The Prime Minister stated that the government will also accelerate procedures to enable businesses and private individuals to undertake construction projects more quickly.
- The stimulus package also seeks to promote company liquidity. By abolishing the flight tax, for example, the government will seek to raise the liquidity of companies connected with Schiphol Airport. (Press Release, supra.)
Balkenende conceded that "all the measures for restoring the economy in the short term are very costly." (Id.) The stimulus package is in addition to the €80 billion already spent to restore confidence in the country's banking sector since September 2008; even though leaving the 2009 and 2010 spending plans in place will cost the additional €50 billion, he stated, "[t]hese decisions are necessary and defensible given the economic situation." (Press Release, supra; ROUNDUP: Dutch Announce Six-Billion-Euro Economic Stimulus Plan, SILVERSCORPIO, Mar. 25, 2009, available at http://silverscorpio.com/roundup-dutch-announce-6-billion-euro-economic-
stimulus-plan/.) To restore public finances, starting in 2011 the government plans to reduce the deficit by at least 0.5% of GDP a year, a commitment to be stipulated in an act of Parliament.
Finally, Balkenende addressed the need for reforms in the fields of health care, education, and pensions for the next four decades. The state pension age will be raised to 67 from 65, an effort will be made to control healthcare costs, and those who own a home worth €1 million (about US$1.3 million) or more will have to pay more tax on it. "The reforms are necessary and fair," Balkenende stated, "[b]ut we realise that they will have far-reaching effects. That is why they will be introduced gradually, beginning in 2011." (Press Release, supra; SILVERSCORPIO, supra.)
It has been pointed out in the press that there are no "substantial" reforms in the stimulus plan to regulate the financial sector, nor does the plan include any measures to improve supervisory functions of the central bank (De Nederlandsche Bank) or the Authority for the Financial Markets (Autoriteit Financiële Markten, the country's financial watchdog). The two institutions reportedly "have come under strong criticism in recent months from experts and the public alike for allegedly failing to prevent the problems in the financial sector." (SILVERSCORPIO, supra.)

" Genre: History / Author: Alison Weir / Paperback / 656 Pages / Book is published 2007-11-22 by Vintage "
* Prices may differ from that shown
This review is also on my goodreads page under the name Alexander Catt and on my Amazon account under the name of Alexcatt97 and on my ciao account under the username alexcatt97
I was really excited to read this book to find out more about all of the wives because there were a lot of blanks in my knowledge but this book definitely filled those gaps plus confirmed things I was unsure about and dismissed some off the stereotypes there were about the wives which I was happy with.
Firstly the book talks about Catherine Of Aragon and I was happy that it didnt start with her as queen of England because her story before becoming queen is a very interesting and gripping one and I was keen to find out more about it because my only knowledge about that part of her life was from "The Constant Princess" by Phillipa Gregory which turned out to be quite accurate but still I was still able to be very interested in it and learned many new things about her upbringing and her marriage to Prince Arthur and learned more about the extremes of the suffering she was subjected to in England before being betrothed to the Prince Harry and becoming queen of England. I already had a lot of knowledge about her reign as queen but again I was able to learn many more things about her and the King Henry during the period which was good. I thought that the description of Catherine's life after the annulment of her marriage was excellent and it was very gripping learning about the cruelty that she was subjected too by the King and his new mistress Anne Boleyn.
Anne Boleyn's section was again very gripping as she played a big part in history and it followed excellently from Catherine's section as her cruelty was obviously on going until her death. I loved how the contrast of the opinion of the public between the two queens was shown and it was shocking how the public opinion changed so quickly from love of Catherine to hate for Anne and this was portrayed very well by Weir throughout Anne's section. I had little knowledge of how Anne Boleyn contributed to history and again her story was told with excellent clarity and it was even more gripping learning about how this queen acted around the king and how daring she was. I was very interested by how Weir portrayed her downfall and the many reasons behind it which had inspired me to read her book dedicated to those four months named "The lady in the tower, the fall of Anne Boleyn". Weir also exceptionally explained many of the stereotypes linked with Anne and was shocked to find out how inaccurate they were such as the rumor that she has six fingers when in fact she only has a very small deformity where she had a double nail on one of her fingers. During Anne's story, the next queen - Jane Seymour was introduced serving Anne Boleyn and her household and later to becoming Henry's mistress and it was extremely interesting to learn that there were similarities between Anne and Jane when I thought they would be very opposite in personalities. The only small thing that I was hoping there would be more of, is more information about the accusations made by Lady Rochford again Anne.
Jane Seymour's upbringing was obviously not as interesting as the past two wives because Catherine's parents were the rulers in Spain and Anne came from the influential Howard family, but her upbringing was till good to find out about. Obviously as Jane reign as queen was only around one and a half years, her contribution to history wasn't as big as the two previous consorts except she was the only one to give birth to a male heir that lived past infancy who went on to become King Edward VI of England. It was fascinating to find out how much this boy meant to him and how he was deeply effected by the death of Jane to the point that she was the only wife to be buried beside him despite the many years of love from wives before her (even thought their marriages were made invalid, he loved those wives for a significant amount of time). Also the portrayal of the public opinion of Jane which was very positive again showed excellently how much Anne Boleyn was disliked by the public and in fact a lot of the aristocracy. Jane's relationship's with the kings then illegitimate female children and wish to have them returned to favor and Henry's opposition to this idea was very well portrayed by Weir and gave an even deeper incite to his desperation for a boy and therefore heir.
Anne Of Cleves's section in the book was in my opinion brilliant and extremely interesting as I was able to learn a lot more about her childhood and upbringing. The section also dismissed the stereotype that she was a "Dim fat girl" which I admit is not said in Weir's book but by David Starkey in his versions but in Weir book it is said that many thought the opposite except obviously the king. Weir goes into more detail about the reign of Anne of Cleves than many authors do which I was very happy about because she is on of my personal favourites from the Tudor period but more importantly because she is usually overlooked quite a lot, despite a very interesting even though her reign was only for 6 months. This section also gave me a larger incite into Anne of Cleves's opinion of the marriage as she was obviously very quick to accept the divorce and be rid of the marriage to the king. From this she then became the kings "sister" and was granted amount of money per year and many households, one of them being the original Boleyn household Hever Castle which still stands today. From this we can also see a way that the Henry's first queen Catherine of Aragon could have easily avoided the cruelty that she and her daughter Mary (the then future queen) were subjected too by the King and his second wife Anne Boleyn. This is one of the only books which goes into greater detail about her life after the divorce during the reign of former lady in waiting Katherine Howard. Again I enjoyed the detail that Weir provided about the relationship between Anne and her step children which was a very good one continuing even after the divorce especially in the case of Mary.
I thoroughly enjoyed the part about Katherine Howard especially learning about her upbringing in the dowager duchess of Norfolk's household as it went into good detail throughout the section and this pleased me especially because I have only ever read one novel (so therefore probably not too accurate) about Katherine's upbringing. Even though her reign was short, it was definitely as interesting one and Weir managed to portray that well. Again like in Anne Boleyn's section I enjoyed reading about her downfall and was very much gripped by it and also shocked about how it came about and the people involved. The only things I would say about this section as an improvement would be that again I would have liked to of had more information about Lady Rochford who was obviously a key person in her downfall as she was executed and imprisoned with her. Also I would have liked to have more information on the public opinion of Katherine Howard although I did get to learn what her stepchildren thought of her which was good.
The final wife Katherine Parr, I previously had barely had any knowledge on and have barely read anything about her previously but Weir's book managed to change that and I was very impressed with Weir's description of her reign and life, relationship with her stepchildren and was therefore very shocked when she nearly faced a quick downfall for Heresy when the king seemed so fond of her and Weir portrayed this very well which helped me to understand that obviously his opinions can change very quickly on the matter of his wives when they do something that he doesn't approve off. Weir then goes into good detail about her life after the death of the king, her fourth marriage and her death which proved a definitely interesting story.
After that Weir the expanded on Anne of Cleves's story after the death of Henry, as she was the last of the six wives to die, the only one witnessing the coronation of Mary I and nearly outliving her. That extra detail about her life was very welcome and proved very interesting especially as many biographies like this one stop at the her death of Henry VIII.
Overall I was very happy with this book and learned a lot of things about each wife and happy for the extra detail about the last three which is sometimes missed out on other biographies. I also say that it is very gripping throughout this review because it is told as a story and doesn't seem like a biography when it is and therefore makes the book very enjoyable so I would definitely recommend this book if you want to find out more about the wives or even if you already have a lot of that knowledge because it still proves very interesting.
Being a history book snob, I usually turn my nose up at what is considered to be 'popular' history. On balance, I don't know why that is, considering that I tend to derive more enjoyment from popular historians than I ever do from well-respected studies/leaders in their field. The Six Wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir is one such example.
Henry VIII has to have one of the most notorious love lives in history and Weir manages to deftly balance an examination of the queens his six wives became, and the women and human beings they were. Most especially she does an admirable job of dispelling - at least to some extent - the notoriety surrounding Anne Boleyn both as an historical figure reviled for the charges against her and as a queen, never beloved by her people.
It is impressive, too, that she manages to give a fairly equal coverage to all the wives, resulting in my now knowing a great deal more about some of the less infamous women e.g. Anne of Cleves and Katherine Parr.
As an historian, Weir is clearly well read, astute and she writes with a fluidity that makes this relatively hefty book a pleasure to read. I raced through it in a few days, finding myself gripped by Weir's combination of factual evidence entwined with a probing and reflective prose.
I've recently been reading the Shardlake novels by C.J. Sansom, set in Henry VIII's England. I've thoroughly enjoyed them, and found myself wanting to know more about this famous monarch and all his wives. You may be surprised when I say I knew nothing about him until I started reading those novels - except I could recognise his portrait and I knew he had six wives. At a push I might have managed to say that one was Anne Boleyn, but that was it. Henry VIII is English history, not British, and certainly by the time I was studying history at school, we learnt Scottish and British history - not English pre-union (although it was different when my mum was at school, as she seems to know everything about Scottish and English monarchy).
I apologise for the lengthy and waffley introduction, but I wanted to make it clear that I really did approach The Six Wives of Henry VIII with no prior knowledge. I chose this book over the many that are available on this subject thanks to positive reviews, and previous experience of the author, Alison Weir (her book, Britain's Royal Families: The Complete Genealogy, is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of the monarchy).
The life of Henry VIII and that of his predecessors was full of danger, intrigue and plots. He was a very complex man, and throughout his time on the throne he became increasingly like a tyrant, ruling with an iron fist. In the midst of all this were his six wives, who were all dispatched as it suited him when he wanted to move on, with the exception of Jane Seymour, who died in childbirth and with whom Henry is buried. The book focuses on these six women, their lives before and with Henry, and of course their relationships with him. Politics and the role of the monarchy do of course come into it, it would be impossible for them not to, but this is not a biography of Henry VIII or of the Tudor period, so the focus is on the wives.
The first section of the book is a Chronology, starting with Henry VII usurping the throne in 1485 and leading to the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558. These four pages are absolutely invaluable. With such a complex story and with all the people involved, I found myself regularly flicking back to check on a date or an event.
This is followed by an introduction, which for me provided a lot of important background information. My previous reading about monarchy has been mainly limited to nineteenth and twentieth century, with the exception of Mary Queen of Scots, and so I had absolutely no knowledge about Tudor England. The introduction told me how women lived and were expected to behave, and of course what was expected of a Tudor Queen. It also covered information on clothing, hobbies and activities, religion and medicine, all of which was very useful when reading the main text.
The main body of the book is split into three sections: Katherine of Aragon, The 'Great Matter', and How Many Wives Will He Have?. As Henry's marriage to Katherine of Aragon was his longest by many years, this does require a long section to cover their story. This section ends in 1527, which was when Henry began to seek an annulment in order to marry Anne Boleyn. I really enjoyed reading about Henry and Katherine's marriage. He was still pleasant then, and they made a good team for many years.
The second section, The 'Great Matter', covers Henry's relationships with and marriages to Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour. I know there are a lot of strong opinions about whether Anne Boleyn was evil or not, but I haven't really formed my own. From what I read in this book I am inclined to think that she was a manipulative woman, and that she is to blame for what Henry VIII became, but then conversely it doesn't appear that she deserved her fate in the slightest. Weir is good at causing these mixed feelings, certainly for someone like me who came to the book with opinion formed of Anne Boleyn except a vague notion that she may have been scheming. I left the book uncertain what to think of her - at first she is portrayed as clever but manipulative, thinking of her own gains. Yet I felt sympathetic and sad at her fate, which appears was unjustified - after all her carefully laid plans, she surely would not have been so stupid as to commit adultery.
The impression I took from the book about Jane Seymour was that she was the wife who Henry VIII continued to love, as she died in childbirth and he never tired of her. There is also the fact that he left instructions that he was to be buried alongside her, and following her death, even when he had another wife, he commissioned a family portrait in which she appeared posthumously. However Jane was also scheming like Anne Boleyn, and she knew what she wanted. But she was better at it - she was able to be a good obedient wife, unlike Anne. I did feel genuine sadness when I read about Jane's death, as she had seemed like a good wife for this now rather scary and tyrannical king.
The final section, How Many Wives Will He Have?, covers the remaining three marriages, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Katherine Parr. I must admit I found the story of Anne of Cleves both funny and satisfying. Henry VIII was unable to consummate the marriage as he found her both unattractive and smelly, but she was so naïve that she had no idea there was anything missing! When he ended the marriage, she was very well provided for and proceeded to live a life of leisure, which really was a happy ending, certainly the happiest any of the wives had. Katherine Howard, on the other hand, seems to have been a very silly little girl. Evidence suggests she was merely 15 when she married Henry, and he was completely besotted with this beautiful and lively young girl. However it soon came to light that she had had lovers and a betrothal prior to marriage, and likely committed adultery after marrying Henry. She met the same fate as Anne Boleyn. Henry's final marriage, to Katherine Parr, was a last ditch attempt to have another son, a second heir to the throne. This did not happen, and he died four years later.
Alison Weir's style was straightforward and authoritative. I had no problem believing the facts she presented me with, particularly as she often outlined her reasons for stating something. One example is that it seems the year of Anne Boleyn's birth is not known for certain, and there have been a few possibilities discussed over the years. Weir discusses this, and her reasoning for the conclusion she reaches (1500/1501). This made me trust Weir as a writer and researcher. Her writing is accessible, and everything is clearly phrased and explained, and importantly for me, prior knowledge of the subject is not pre-supposed.
I found The Six Wives of Henry VIII to be a fascinating and enjoyable read. I really liked learning about these women and their influence on this all-powerful monarch. I now feel like I know all about them, and intend to read further on the subject. I am also intending to visit the National Portrait Gallery, as the book mentioned that the best known portrait of Anne Boleyn hangs there (and of course there are plenty more to see!). I would certainly recommend this to those interested in reading more about Henry VIII and his wives. It is an excellent book for those new to the subject, and I imagine it would be an enjoyable read for those who already know about it and would perhaps provide them with further insight to these fascinating lives.
I hated history in school. There's nothing exciting about memorising names and dates of the world wars and the jacobites. What every school child really wants are the gruesome details of birth, life and death, kings, queens and paupers, the affairs, the murders, the plotting and treason. It really is a shame that history texts aren't written by Alison Weir, I'm certain if they were them more pupils would be interested in history and they'd get brilliant grades.
I won't write a long re-count of the history of Henry VIII and his six wives, that's what you should read the book for. I'll simply write an analysis of the book itself.
The book is an account of the lives of the wives of Henry based on historical data. Henry VIII's reign was turbulent enough that it took public interest and so there is much more documented evidence preserved than any monarch before him, not only the dates and names but private letters, the intimate details of each marriage and the thoughts and feelings of the women themselves.
The book contains the conclusions of the author based on the documentation available, and it reads like a novel. This is not a new approach to fact writing, but so often fails because it contains speculation amongst the fact. Not so with this, there quoted descriptions from letters and minutes, nothing is claimed without evidence. And the conclusions are not skewed to any one side, the women are not portrayed in a black and while light, all opinions are taken into account, all views are justified or rejected based on fact and not opinion.
The book is split into three parts. Part 1 has 6 chapters describing the life of Catherine of Aragon, and also something of Henry's childhood: appropriate because Katheryn was present for a lot of it. Part two is mostly Anne Boleyn with a chapter dedicated to Jane Seymour. Part three covers the remaining three wives, Anne of Cleves, Kathryn Howard and Kathrine Parr.
You might be inclined to think that the book is skewed in favour of Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn. Not so, there is simply more documented information on the private lives of these two women. Also it is important to remember that Henry was married to Catherine of Aragon for 18 years, far longer than any of his other wives, and that his relationship with Anne Boleyn rocked the foundations of the monarchy and the country's religious and political hearts.
The women are described with intimate care, they almost come alive on the pages. This book makes history more real than any regular textbook. It is obvious that all possible documents were read and experts questioned in the making of this book. Overall an easy but detailed read.

I think it's fair to say, and it has been said, that I have a bit of an obssession with Henry VIII. He was one of the most interesting monarchs ever and his six wives make him stand out from the crowd. I recently read "The Other Boleyn Girl" which is more of a fiction novel and couldn't put it down so in my ever present fixation on Henry VIII I started looking for more to read about him. I came across this on Amazon.
I had never read a book by Alison Weir and expected this to be a similar affair to The Other Boleyn Girl but as soon as I started reading I realised this was actually a factual account as we know it from diaries, documents and letters that survived after the Tudor period. At first I was slightly disappointed but soon realised this was even better than a fictional work.
The book doesn't tell me much about the author except some other books she's written and where she lives so I'm no more enlightened but intend to read more of her work! I bought my copy for £6.99 new from Amazon which worked out cheaper than Amazon Marketplace because of the free delivery. The book is quite a thick one with over 600 pages.
Before we get onto the wives we have a list of events and the dates they happened to refer to.
Onto wife number one. Katherine of Aragon from Spain was of course Henry's first wife. She had been married briefly to Henry's older brother Arthur and when he died she was left a widow with no future husband in sight. I didn't realise she had been left without a husband for so long and denied cash and respect by Henry VII (Henry VIII's father). She malingered at court for 7 years believing herself betrothed to Henry who had secretly cancelled the betrothal. Finally however they were married.
The section on Katherine of Aragon is lengthy due to the fact he was married to her for so long, 24 years in total. Another aspect I did not know is Henry was considering divorcing her years before Anne Boleyn came along, he had decided she could not give him a male heir and pondered this by letter a few years before there was any serious contenders for her crown but did nothing for the sake of relations with Spain.
Katherine was known to be past the age of child bearing in 1924 and the marriage just fell apart from that point on. Henry did not start courting Anne until 1526 according to documents. Katherine was a serene Queen, obedient and demure and deeply religious. She of course was Mary's mother.
Katherine features heavily in the early parts of the section about Anne Boleyn because Henry secretly married Anne a few months before his first marriage was annulled. Katherine was banished from court and sent to the coldest, emptiest houses Henry owned with less and less staff and money because she refused to agree to the annullment and Henry thought this might force her hand. It didn't and even on her death bed she still wouldn't agree she was no longer Queen.
There are rumours that Anne Boleyn had Katherine poisoned and for this reason she was given an autopsy after her death, they didn't know what it was at the time but from the report modern medicine have declared it a tumour of the heart that killed her.
Then it was Anne's turn. She had witheld having sex with Henry in order to rise to the status of Queen and not just be a temporary mistress. She is believed to be the first woman to ever deny him. Anne was very intelligent but bad tempered with a sharp tongue. This appealed to Henry at first but once they were married she was expected to toe the line and well, she didn't! She gave birth to Elizabeth the same year they were married and had 2 more stillborn babies, one of which was a boy. Again modern medicine have had their say and they assume she was rhesus negative and would never have had another live child. Henry had other ideas though and thought this was punishment from God and that Anne was an adultress and witch.
By the time Anne, and the men accused of having relations with her including her brother George, were executed Henry had already decided to make Jane Seymour wife number 3. Anne was done away with to make way for Jane, she didn't think he would execute her though and presumed she would end up in a nunnery but Henry of course had his own ideas!
Interestingly in The Other Boleyn Girl Anne is portrayed as the elder sister out of her and Mary and there is evidence she was in fact the younger sister. She seemed to have a prominent thyroid and was slim for the time so probably hyperthyroid and had an extra fingernail, not finger, on each hand. She was also the more discreet sister and there were never rumours of her being promiscuous even when she served at the French court which was rife with it. She basically died because she spoke her mind, didn't have a boy and Henry had moved onto his next victim, I mean wife!
Wife number 3 was Jane Seymour. Henry and Jane were officially betrothed a day after Anne Boleyn's execution and married 10 days later. Jane had a very short reign due to dying after the birth of Edward, Henry's only male heir to survive beyond infanthood. There were apparently signs she was very devious though and copied Anne Boleyn by witholding sex to become Queen in the first place and also tried to interfere with Henry's handling of some rebels. This almost ruined her position and she toed the line afterwards for fear of what might happen to her.
For a few years Henry was alone. Not out of respect for Jane but because women willing to marry him were few and far between. Who would want to marry a King who had beheaded one of his wives and divorced (technically annulled) another? Then Anne Of Cleves was suggested.
We all know Anne of Cleves didn't work out as Henry found her repulsive. Apparently she had very bad body odour and he couldn't bring himself to consummate the marriage so another annullment was arranged. Anne had the sense to agree and came out of it wealthy in her own right.
Wife number 5 was the ill fated Katherine Howard. Aout 30 years Henry's junior and a flirtatious, empty headed girl she fell foul of the infamous Tudor temper when it became apparent she was having an affair with at least one man at court. She too was executed along with the accused.
Finally Katherine Parr. Katherine Parr is always portrayed as safe in her position as Queen and more a companion to the now hugely obese and ill tempered King but there was in fact a plot against her that nearly saw her go the same way as wives number 2 and 5. Highly intelligent she managed to avoid this and outlived Henry.
Apologies if this seems like a history lesson, I'm trying convey the level of detail in this book. We actually finish where Elizabeth becomes Queen and not immediately after Henry's death. There are no plot spoilers here really as we all know what happens but this book is so fascinating in detail. Even with my level of interest in the subject there are plenty of bits I didn't know, and many I have not included in this review.
Many rumours are disputed and proven to be absolute nonsense in this book becase it is based on evidence from the time. Henry and his charming but tyrannical personality really comes to life in this book and his wives are described in so much detail we even get to hear what they were wearing for certain events.
I can't stress how compelling this book is, anyone with an interest in the Tudor period and in particular Henry and his wives will love this. Because it is factual it makes it even more fascinating to read about torture methods, illnesses of the time, the different personalities of each Queen and how Henry went from being a strong, handsome (for the time!) young man to a huge, ailing, foul tempered and suspicious lump of a man. The religious problems he faced are all in here as well as his position in relation to the rest of Europe at various times.
There are several family trees at the back of the book for anyone interested in those too.
I really recommend this for a truly interesting read. I couldn't put it down and read it within a few days. Alison Weir writes in a simple fashion that makes the book easy to follow and the sections on each wife keep a complicated story from getting over complicated! I intend to read more of Alison Weir's work in the future.
Sorry for the length of this review! I got a bit carried away!
Browsing in Waterstones at Gatwick airport recently looking for something to read, I came across Alison Weirs six wives of Henry V111. I have always been interested in history and the Tudor period is my favourite so this book really appealed to me. The reviews on the back cover claimed that the book was an entertaining account of Henry V11s complicated domestic history, full of interesting detail. It was the promise of interesting detail taken from reliable sources, which persuaded me to buy this book as opposed to other accounts on offer. So heres a brief taster of what this book has to offer, I certainly dont intend to give you a history lesson!
The content
At the front of the book is a really well detailed chronology starting from 1485 when Henry Tudor wins the battle of Bosworth Field and the Tudor Dynasty begins to 1558 when Elizabeth1 comes to the throne.
Part 1 of the book is devoted to Katherine of Aragon, Henrys wife for over 20 years. There is a wealth of excellent data about this queen as she was a princess in her own right. The book charts her life from her early childhood as the daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain to her death in her early 50s. The book gives insight into how Katherines character was shaped by looking at her childhood. Her mother Queen Isabella had 10 pregnancies but only 5 of her children grew to maturity, not unusual in those days. I enjoyed reading about Katherines siblings and what happened to them.
Katherine was initially married to Prince Arthur, Henrys older brother, the marriage created an alliance between Spain and England. However Arthur died after only a year of marriage at the age of 16. The book then follows how both Henry V11 and her father used Katherine as a political pawn.
The book gives a really clear well detailed account of Katherines utter despair during this period and I really felt I was getting to know this woman. Katherine eventually married Henry V111 and became queen of England. The early years of the marriage were clearly happy ones. However despite numerous pregnancies and stillbirths Katherine only produced one live child, a daughter Mary. At a time when in was considered crucial for a king to have a male heir this caused Henry great sorrow. This in addition to the fact that Katherine was 5 years older than her husband caused Henry to gradually fall out of love with Katherine.
Katherine of Aragon comes across as a pious woman with a warm heart. However it is easy to see how she could become boring when compared to younger more vivacious members of the court such as Anne Boleyn. Her many pregnancies took their toll on Katherine and her short frame soon became a wide one too. In all 140 pages are devoted to Katherine. At the end of part one I felt I had gained a real insight into Katherines character and had to admire her for sticking to her guns and refusing to allow Henry to annul their marriage.
Part 2 starts by looking at the dilemma facing Henry who was now hopelessly in love with Anne Boleyn. Divorce was unheard of in catholic England and Henry eventually disassociated himself and England from the pope and Rome. The political intrigue and how many lost their lives, executed as traitors, is explained in a way which is easy to read and understand.
Much has been written about Anne Boleyn both flattering and otherwise. She had many enemies and this accounts for all bad press she often gets. Like Katherine Anne suffered several miscarriages and only had one live daughter. Anne is portrayed as an ambitious woman with a temper. She died on the block to make way for Henrys new love Jane Seymour. At the end of reading about Anne Boleyn I felt I would have liked her and that she was ahead of her time.
The chapter on Jane Seymour was the most enlightening for me. Jane Seymour is usually portrayed as an innocent young woman, with a sweet nature. Alison Weir disputes this by carefully looking at all the evidence available. Little is known about Janes early life, as she was not a highborn noble. However what evidence exists about her background is colourfully explored in the book. Jane Seymours death following the birth of Henrys longed for son was a real tragedy. It seems likely she died from an infected tear following childbirth. I found it really interesting to gain an insight into how women suffered during childbirth and what the practises of the day were.
Following Janes death Henry appears to have been generally devastated. However it is important to remember to put the characters into their historical period and for Henry more male heirs were needed. The next chapter is about his 4 th wife Anne of Cleeves.
Henrys marriage to Anne of Cleeves was purely arranged to create an alliance between England and Germany. From the first meeting Henry was unimpressed with Anne. Again because she was a princess in her own right there is plenty of recorded information surviving. I enjoyed reading about her later life following her divorce from Henry. It appears that Anne had a good life and lived peacefully with a very substantial income. The book follows her life after Henrys death.
Henrys fifth wife Katherine Howard was a fascinating read. I enjoyed looking at the evidence to try to pinpoint her date of birth. It appears that Katherine was only 15 when she married Henry. Her early life is described in her grandmothers household, where there was little supervision. At 13 it appears Katherine had her first sexual encounter, followed by several others. There is overwhelming evidence to show that Katherine had at least one affair following her marriage to Henry. It is easy to feel sympathy for Katherine, a young girl married to a man old enough to be her grandfather, grossly overweight with a stinking ulcer on his leg, hardly a turn on! However she was found out and executed at the age at just 16.
Henrys 6 th and last wife was the brilliant Katherine Parr. Again there is lots of detail about Katherines early life and previous marriages. Katherine Parr was a highly intelligent woman who did much to further the education of women. Even though Henry had broken away from Rome England was still a catholic country and to say otherwise was heresy punishable by a horrible death. Katherine was sympathetic to lutherism but had to keep this secret. The book colourfully follows Katherines ability to stay one step ahead of her enemies. Following Henrys death Katherine was able to marry her true love Thomas Seymour. She died of an infection following the birth of their daughter, Mary. There is a fascinating record of baby Marys nursery requirements which gives an insight into what was considered essential for a baby of noble birth to have. I found it really frustrating that no record exists of Mary after the age of about 7 months. Alison Weir concludes that she probably died in infancy.
At the back of the book are several family trees, showing not only the Tudors, but also the Seymours and the Howards. The Bibliography is organised in chapters and gives all the sources for the information. Unlike most bibliographies this one is really interesting to read-trust me!
Including family trees this book is a long one with 620 pages. I found it the most fascinating book I have read in a long time. I really enjoy Alison Weirs style and felt I was part of the court and knew each Queen personally. I loved all the interesting little facts that were ignored when I studied this period at A level. If you are at all interested in history I would really urge you to give this book a try, Im sure you will love it!
The ISBN no is-0-7126-7384-9. The book is priced at £9.99,but is available from Amazon for £7.99. I am now looking forward to reading other books by this author.
One of the most powerful monarchs in British history, Henry VIII ruled England in unprecedented splendour. In this remarkable composite biography, Alison Weir brings Henry's six wives vividly to life, revealing each as a distinct and compelling personality in her own right. Drawing upon the rich fund of documentary material from the Tudor period, The Six Wives of Henry VIII shows us a court where personal needs frequently influenced public events and where a life of gorgeously ritualised pleasure was shot through with ambition, treason and violence.

A University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee faculty member and a team of students have been working with the Milwaukee Health Department to study the health of Milwaukee's beaches and the surrounding water.
"We have an army of students who want to get out and participate in the practical side of public health," says Todd Miller, assistant professor of environmental and occupational health in the Joseph J. Zilber School of Public Health. "This is something that really has an impact on the community."
Clean water is a key part of public health, explains Miller, who works with his team at the Laboratory for Aquatic Environmental Microbiology and Chemistry.
"The thrust of the lab's work is looking at how toxic chemicals – either natural, like blue-green algal growth fed by phosphorus and other factors in lakes, or manmade, like those created from personal-care products and the anti-microbials in those products – affect the quality of water."
The lab's researchers are also looking longer term at ways to improve wastewater treatment so that more of these toxins are removed.
The students involved with the project appreciated getting the experience.
"I think it was awesome," says Dani Oluwatosin, a first-year student who worked with Miller's lab as part of an undergraduate research experience this summer. "It was great to get hands-on experience."
Building a water-quality database
In addition to providing students to help augment the Milwaukee Health Department's testing for sewage contamination, Miller says, the researchers would also like to start building a database of information that might help forecast when beaches are likely to be affected by contamination.
"Taking a water sample and testing it can take up to 18 hours. If we could develop a database of information that can be retrieved easily, we could develop a forecast model. We hope that other cities, like Racine and Kenosha, would be able to fit their data into our database, in effect creating a snapshot of lake quality."
This water-quality database will involve a collaboration between Miller and his team, who will do the field research, and Professor Peter Tonellato and his research team at the Zilber School's Laboratory for Public Health Informatics and Genomics.
"The ultimate goal is to find better ways to determine when contamination is making beaches unhealthy, and doing something about it," says Tonellato.
Miller and his research team are also looking at other types of contamination in drinking water, including how certain types of chemical pollutants are broken down and transformed in water. Some of the resulting products may be more harmful than the original chemical compounds, and have been linked to certain types of cancers, he says.
The researchers are also looking at improving methods for monitoring algal blooms on freshwater lakes, like Lake Winnebago in central Wisconsin, and reducing human exposure to their toxins. These blue-green algae blooms – fed by warm weather and chemicals in the lake – are a constant problem, impacting both water quality and public health, according to Miller
The impact of anti-microbial ingredients from personal-care products on water quality is also a public health concern, he adds, as these products are flushed into rivers, lakes and streams.
"These anti-microbials are very hard to detect in drinking water. We want to see if there is any impact on people who drink them in the water, and find ways to prevent their occurrence in drinking water. Another worry is that these may end up in food, since sewage sludge can be made into fertilizer, and 64 percent of it is applied to agricultural land."

I am seeking advice from others, I have had a couple of shares with ponies for my six and half year old daughter, I have now got a full loan with a 12.2h cob, I am a small lightweight adult so we can both do it together.
I have gone to part livery as I work during the week and needed a yard with help and expertise available as we have only been riding/sharing for the last 14months, we wanted this so we would have the feeling of the pony being our own and learn so much.
We have a lovely pony, easy to catch, lovely nature and good on the ground, the owner a retired lady who is not very well wanted a small adult or child to look after her, she is aware of our experience but felt that we could really love and care for her.
My yard owner said she is very green and barely been ridden although I had an hour riding her and my daughter did when we went to visit she was fine but was quite fast in trot so needs time, and we had someone else in front.
We have had her since last Sunday so I went on Monday last week to walk her round etc, and I have had my daughter on lead rein yesterday and today for only half hour, I was going to get on but have lost my confidence I think being on my own in the sand school, I don't want to be like this or I will never get on.
I have come away today a bit worried that I should have spent more time with her in the sand school on the ground, but I just want to build it up each week as I get more confident handling her, we were at the stables for 3 hours yesterday and two today grooming the other time.
I am not sure what to do, should I ask my YO to come in sand school with me and I ride her each week for 30 mins then do 30mins with my daughter on lead rein, I think she would be happy with this but I would have to pay for my time.
My yard owner is a bit shocked that we have been given her given that she is not very well trained for us and we are really inexperienced but advises that doing more ground work will help because she is a lovely natured pony.
I really want this to work and I am more than happy to do this because we will gain more experience than having a pony that does everything you want.
There really friendly on the yard and so helpful and don't know how much I could ask her to do if anything for me during the week.
I am not sure if she would need the time through the week as well if I do things at the weekend.
I don't want to lose confidence etc because we both love going.
Any advice please.

49ers spend more than $1 million on stadium effort
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - The San Francisco 49ers have spent more than a $1 million to persuade voters in Santa Clara to approve a new stadium for the team.
Financial disclosure documents filed Monday show the team has spent $1.4 million in cash and manpower on the effort.
Santa Clara Plays Fair, the group opposed to the $937 million project, in contrast, has raised less than $3,000.
Funding for the stadium would include $114 million in public contributions. Supporters say it would generate tens of millions of dollars for the region. Opponents say it would drain city coffers.
One of those opponents, Deborah Bress, filed a lawsuit this month against Santa Clara seeking to remove or change the stadium measure on the June ballot.
City officials say the suit is without merit.

This post is from staff writer April Dykman.
There's a lot of bad news during a recession: High levels of unemployment, foreclosures, and huge dents in the average Joe's net worth.
But one good thing to come out of the financial crisis is that more people, women especially, are making an effort to better understand and contribute to retirement plans.
Participation increases in employer-sponsored plans
The Hartford Financial Services Group, an insurance and wealth management company, recently released new research findings which found that consumers have become more dedicated to understanding and saving within their employer-sponsored retirement plans. The study consisted of an online survey conducted by Zeldis Research and polled 1,000 people ranging from 18 to 65 years of age. Findings included the following:
- 43% of survey respondents indicated that they consider retirement savings more important today that they did before the financial crisis.
- 49% view it as just as important as they did before the crisis.
- 84% are participating in a 401k or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, up from 80% in 2009.
- 76% responded that they understood their retirement plans "completely" or "mostly," up from 65% who were confident of their understanding last year.
Another key finding is that women are making noteworthy gains in participation rate and comprehension. Plan participation among women increased 9 points to 70% (men increased 5 points to 71%.). Also, of the women polled, 69% said they completely or mostly understood their retirement plan benefits, up from just 56% in 2009. (Men also saw a jump from 75% in 2009 to 83% in 2010.)
Struggling to save
Unfortunately, the study also found that 22% of those polled reduced contributions to their retirement, or stopped contributing altogether, due to economic conditions. This was the case for 22% of women, up from 11% last year, and 21% of men, up from 15% in 2009.
In addition, one in five surveyed indicated that their employer-match contributions had been lowered or eliminated.
Women and retirement obstacles
What struck me the most about the research report was the following statement by Sharon Ritchey, executive vice president and director of The Hartford's Retirement Plans Group:
The greater rate of participation in retirement plans, especially on behalf of women, is a real encouraging sign. Compared to men, women have higher hurdles to reach a comfortable retirement. Women tend to earn less, be away from their jobs more often because of disabilities, pregnancies and family issues, and often invest less aggressively. On top of that, women tend to live longer than men and therefore need to rely on their retirement savings for more years.
When you put all of those factors together, it's alarming that women still lag behind men in retirement planning, when clearly we need to be saving more. Ritchey points out that many women spend 20–40 years in retirement, and that sometimes sacrifices are necessary to save continuously throughout your working years, but it's critical that we make those sacrifices. (If you're a woman who is trying to figure out how to manage your retirement savings, check out these 8 questions from the US Department of Labor to help you get started.)
As a female I find this quite disconcerting. I'm not entirely sure how I'd describe my level of retirement comprehension, and I write about personal finance every day! For one thing, I haven't made an effort to better understand my retirement options now that I'm self-employed, which is a mistake I need to rectify. Considering the statistics on women and retirement, it's clearly time to stop procrastinating.
What do you think about the retirement hurdles women face? How do you feel about your level of understanding when it comes to your own retirement?

It's easy to understand why you'd be obsessed with Nevada. The more than 24,000 acres of skiable terrain, 33 feet of annual snowfall and 18 incredible ski resorts at legendary Lake Tahoe would thrill anyone. Not to mention the ski runs that rise from 7,350 feet to more than 10,000 feet. Imagine the views you'll get from the top of the snow-capped mountains that surround the largest alpine lake in North America. And this is one place where you can count on blue skies as clear as the lake itself.

The Welshman is concerned the Newcastle Falcons fly-half, who has not played international rugby since kicking England to glory in the 2003 World Cup final, is not ready for the rigours of a Lions tour.
Dawes told the Daily Mirror: "Wilkinson would undoubtedly be a target for the All Blacks and being the committed player he is, he would not back out.
"But it's hard to protect someone in that position and I fear he just would not come through it. The tour could cause him serious damage."

I don't like jumping and I guess it's because my bad experiences. I hadn't been taught how to jump but our group were riding out and we jumped a lot! Not really high jumps, just like these: (they were two of the jumps we made)
But as a begginer jumper it wasn't a good idea for me, but I did well. My horse bucked after every jump and tried to break out, but I could hold him and there wasn't any problem until one jump ->
I didn't know that there was a wide hole before the jump and I was ready to jump just a little, but as my horse caught sight of the obstacle he fastened up and made a huge jump because of the dike in front of the little jump. So I felt on his neck and after a short galopping I felt off. Still then I don't really like jumping as I still can't... I know the best thing would be to look for a place where I could learn to jump, but I really don't want to do it...
(sorry for the long post :) )

"For Rosemary, the linking of herbs to humans is only a mechanism for people to bring awareness to Mother Earth from whom we all originate," said ABC Board of Trustees President Steven Foster . "Rosemary laid the foundation for the rise of traditional herbalism, which has blossomed into touching the hearts of and teaching tens of thousands of people. Small gatherings of a couple dozen folks of like mind grew into international conferences, symposia, classes, and retreats that were key to the rise of two generations of practicing herbalists in the modern herbal renaissance."
"Rosemary Gladstar introduced herbalists to each other, and to the world," said fellow herbalist Cascade Anderson Geller. "She gave herbalism a face, approachable and lovable. She gave a big leg up to herbalists of current renown, helping them to achieve success and grow their reputations. [She also] is a brilliant business woman. All of her businesses, even when she has moved on, continue to flourish in some form. To achieve such success, and to be so well loved by colleagues and students alike, is remarkable. Her trustworthiness shines because it is legitimate emanating from an open heart and mind with roots entwined deep in Mother Earth. By walking her talk, Rosemary's achieved incredible energy that she has generously shared."
Ever humble and modest, Gladstar gives much credit to her herbal peers. "We help each other grow," she said, "either by pushing, pulling, encouraging, tugging, or just pure nourishing love. At this point in time, the herbal community is really comprised of many communities, all interlinking through our love of plants. But as extraordinary as the plants that bring us together
