Ks midfielder Matt Pattison admitted they would have to do things the hard way after a last minute Darren Blewitt goal broke Kingstonian hearts as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Ryman Division One North Brentwood Town at Kingsmeadow.
Blewitt headed a last-minute equaliser for the Essex side on Saturday to make it 2-2 at the close of a thrilling third round qualifying tie.
But Ks manager Alan Dowson remained upbeat about progressing to the opening round for the first time since 2005.
"I think they think they're through," said Dowson of the raucous Brentwood celebrations after the final whistle.
"I don't. I think we'll win at their place. We've got the players to do it.
"It will be tough... apparently it's not a nice place to go compared to Kingsmeadow but we're not bothered about that. They're favourites to win the game now, of course they are, but cups aren't decided like that."
Midfielder Matt Pattison said that there were no anxieties in the dressing room about a replay: "We're extremely disappointed. We weren't under any pressure, there were three minutes left, they didn't look like causing us a problem. But we'll just have to do it the hard way."
Twice Ks went ahead and twice Brentwood responded.
Substitute Craig Mullen scored the opener in the 52nd minute, racing on to a bouncing pass before flicking the ball over the backtracking defender's head – a shout of "Gascoigne! Euro '96!" was heard from the John Smith's stand – and curling a shot into the far corner.
Both goalkeeper and defender got something to the ball, but it slowly dropped into the far corner.
Brentwood have one of the form strikers in non-league and it was Alex Read who equalised six minutes later, lofting a chip over Rob Tolfrey for his ninth goal in five games.
Tom Hutchinson restored Ks advantage soon after with a bullet header from a Matt Pattison cross and as the game stretched the home side looked likely to finish Brentwood off.
Andre McCollin squandered two one-on-ones and as the match entered its final minute, Brentwood made a final push. A cross from the left was flapped at by Tolfrey, leaving Blewitt with an easy header into the net.
Pattison, arguably the most talented passer at the club since Geoff Pitcher, was Ks creative fulcrum again on Saturday.
"If I play central midfield I have to be a lot more disciplined but coming in off the right I can roam," he said.
"I'm enjoying it a lot more. The team's doing a lot better – better passing, better movement – and that helps."
After Tuesday's replay, Ks return to league action next Saturday at Thurrock.

For years, the energy industry has been looking to seaweed to become the next big source of biofuel. But the algae plant has its drawbacks. Much of its energy is stored in a form of sugar that is difficult to tap into; this snag drives the cost of biofuel produced from seaweed up, and its viability as an alternative to petroleum-based fuels down.
But now, a team of synthetic biologists may have found a way to circumvent this roadblock — and they're using a custom-built bug from your colon to do it.
The bacteria in question is Escherichia coli. E. coli is commonly found in your lower intestines, and has a highly manipulable genome that has made it something of a mainstay in bioenergy research. Several studies suggest that if scientists can introduce the right genes into E. coli, and flip the switch on the right bits of genetic information at the right time, they can use it to convert the sugar from plants into biofuels with incredible efficiency.
But not all biofuel crops are created equal. Many current alternative energy sources — corn and sugar cane, for example — require large quantities of fresh water and arable land to grow, thus depriving other important food crops of vital resources.
Seaweed, which thrives in the vast, salty conditions of the ocean, doesn't need these things. What it does require, however, is an E. Coli bacterium specially designed for tapping into the energy that it stores in its primary sugar constituent. Now, researchers from biotech company Bio Architecture Lab (BAL) have genetically engineered a strain of E. coli that does precisely that.
"About 60 percent of the dry biomass of seaweed are fermentable carbohydrates, and approximately half of those are locked in a single carbohydrate - alginate," said Daniel Trunfio, BAL's CEO, in a press release. He continues:
Our scientists have engineered an enzyme to degrade and a pathway to metabolize the alginate, allowing us to utilize all the major sugars in seaweed, which therefore makes the biomass an economical feedstock for the production of renewable fuels and chemicals.
According to findings published in the latest issue of Science, the team was able to achieve an incredible 80% of the seaweed's maximum theoretical ethanol yield. According to Discovery News, that's twice what we're presently capable of achieving with sugar cane, and five times what we can do with corn.
Of course, whether or not the researchers' process can be scaled up economically remains to be seen, and even if it can, other important questions must be answered. A big one, says Erik Stokstad in a perspective piece also published in this week's Science, especially for the U.S., is where to get seaweed in the first place.
One report cited by Stokstad found that replacing 1% of the U.S. gas supply with ethanol would require 11,000 square kilometers of farmed seaweed. Seaweed is not farmed in the U.S. the way it is in other countries, and if had to be brought to the U.S. (or anywhere else where large quantities of algae were not readily available) from other parts of the world, it would raise the price of seaweed-based biofuels considerably, and also increase its carbon footprint.
So just how viable is the seaweed, really? According to Stokstad, BAL has contracted an analysis to show exactly how competitive and "green" its process is, and results should be available later this year.
The researchers' findings are published in the latest issue of Science. For more info on the process by which the research team engineered the E. coli to do its bidding, check out Stokstad's perspective piece, also published in Science [Subscription required].

Sun Ovens International is saving trees and cutting deadly pollution in 130 countries, from Haiti to Nepal.
(FORTUNE Magazine) – THE BACKGROUND Most of southern Asia is enveloped by a vast cloud of smog two miles thick—a toxic stew of industrial pollutants, carbon monoxide, and particles of soot from millions of rural cooking fires. The "Asian brown cloud" has been blamed for the deaths of 500,000 people each year in India alone. A person cooking over an open fire that's burning wood or kerosene inhales the equivalent of the smoke from two packs of cigarettes a day. Respiratory infections are the leading cause of death in children under the age of 5 and kill 1.6 million people overall each year. Three billion households worldwide depend on wood and charcoal to prepare food, and the global supply of wood is rapidly declining.
THE SOLUTION Solar power can replace wood and kerosene for cooking. Sun Ovens International, based in Elburn, Ill., sells a family-sized solar oven for $259 that's used in 130 countries. A much larger solar cooker, including a trailer and a set of pots and pans, sells for $10,500 and is designed for schools, hospitals, and orphanages. It serves up to 1,200 meals a day and saves more than 150 tons of wood annually, cutting greenhouse- gas emissions by an estimated 275 tons per year.
The solar oven uses mirrors to redirect the sun's rays into an insulated box. The box heats up quickly, reaching 360 to 400 degrees, and can be used not only to cook food but also to purify water and dehydrate meat. "Because doing business in some of these countries is so hard, we found it best to license our technology to private-sector companies," says Sun Ovens president Paul Munsen. "We help entrepreneurs set up an assembly plant and transfer the technology for a royalty payment."
Being culturally sensitive about selling a product abroad isn't just politically correct—it's good business. Sun Ovens recognized the value in having its ovens assembled in developing countries, creating jobs for residents and building a sense of ownership about the product and its success. The ovens were developed in 1985 by Tom Burns, a retired restaurateur who was concerned about deforestation. Engineers from Sandia National Laboratories helped refine the design. Several nonprofits market solar cooking devices, but there's no real competition from the private sector. The ovens have been popular in Haiti, where firewood for cooking is scarce and expensive. Later this year the U.S. and Canadian military will use them for humanitarian projects in Afghanistan, and they'll soon be available in Uganda and Nepal.
THE PAYOFF Sun Ovens has sold about 32,000 of its family-sized ovens and 260 institutional units. Last year it generated $720,000 in revenue.
THE OPPORTUNITY Munsen estimates that there's a worldwide market for more than 300 million family-sized solar ovens, which would generate at least $75 million in annual revenue, provided that funding for micro-loans—small credit lines extended to entrepreneurs in developing countries—could be arranged. Thanks to rising fuel costs and growing environmental concerns, the domestic market for the ovens is heating up as well, with U.S. sales growing 125% this year. "I see opportunity for solar ovens almost anywhere it's sunny," Munsen says. Nearly all market trends are favorable for the product. The cost of kerosene and propane used for cooking is skyrocketing in developing countries, making a solar alternative even more attractive. —Tom McNichol

A Texas Congressman is threatening president Obama with impeachment if his administration exercises executive action to scale back the Second Amendment.
In a press release titled, "Obama's gun grab an unconstitutional threat to the nation," republican Rep. Steve Stockman stated, "The White House's recent announcement they will use executive orders and executive actions to infringe on our constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms is an unconstitutional and unconscionable attack on the very founding principles of this republic."
Rep. Stockman said that he will pursue "any means necessary" to thwart Obama's use of executive orders targeting the Second Amendment "including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment."
"Under no circumstances whatsoever may the government take any action that disarms any peaceable person – much less without due process through an executive declaration without a vote of Congress or a ruling of a court," Rep. Stockman stated.
The Congressman said that the president's actions would represent "not just an attack on the Constitution" but "a direct attack on Americans that place all of us in danger."
"If the President is allowed to suspend constitutional rights on his own personal whims, our free republic has effectively ceased to exist."
Congressman Stockman's strong defense of the Second Amendment comes at a crucial time in the gun control debate. Anti-gun proponents have been envigored by the recent tragic events in Newtown, CT and are seeking to capitalize on the nation's emotional vulnerability during this opportune moment to pass sweeping gun reform.
However, there are some law enforcers at local levels that say they will not enforce any unconstitutional mandates declared by the federal government. Sheriff Denny Peyman of Jackson County, Kentucky during a town hall speech this past Saturday, told attendees that he had no intention of taking anybody's guns away. "I am responsible for the people inside this county," stated Peyman, adding, "I couldn't justify, if Obama passes this, it doesn't matter what he passes, the sheriff has more power than the federal people."
"I consider this a moral obligation… My office will not comply with any federal actions which violate the United States Constitution or the Kentucky Constitution which I swore to uphold," Peyman declared.
Earlier this year, Rep. Stockman, along with Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA), introduced H.R. 35 IH, or "The Safe Schools Act of 2013," a bill that would have eliminated "Gun Free Zones" around schools. The bill labeled the "Gun Free Zones Act" a "deadly failure," and one section goes so far as to say "the reason that the `Gun Free School Zones Act' has made American schools unsafe is that shooters now know that they can victimize American school campuses with no fear that victims will be armed."

What is it about Massachusetts politicians who run for president?
Here, they are intelligent people with reasonable, if lofty, ambitions. On the national stage, they turn into caricatures. Whatever their politics, they become arrogant, stiffly coiffed candidates who lack the common touch.
Republican Mitt Romney is the latest example of a Bay State-launched presidential contender with a serious people problem. He hasn't lost yet, but if history is a guide, he could, just like Democrats Michael Dukakis and John Kerry.
Is it something in the local air, or maybe in the ivory towers that nurtured them?
The "Outside the Beltway" blog recently posted news that Kerry would play Romney in debate practice for President Obama under this headline: "Stiff, Awkward, Rich Guy from Massachusetts To Stand In For Stiff, Awkward, Rich Guy from Massachusetts in Debate Prep." The item ended with this quip: "Word is that Michael Dukakis will provide Kerry with charisma advice."
A New York Daily News writer derided Kerry as "an Ivy League-educated Massachusetts politician with permahair — perfect qualifications" to play Romney.
Romney is currently under attack for essentially writing off half the country as victims and freeloaders who unapologetically feed off everyone else. But long before voters got a look at the full Romney via Mother Jones, the former Massachusetts governor had trouble connecting with ordinary people.
Ann Romney's mission at the Republican National Convention was to help voters see her husband as a human being capable of love, laughter, and compassion. She did the best she could with the material she had. But she was working against campaign sound bites which reinforced the image of a fabulously wealthy candidate who enjoyed firing people, wasn't worried about the poor, and joked about being unemployed. Supporters may rightly complain those snippets were taken out of context; the problem is that they were there to take.
As Democrats, Dukakis and Kerry embraced policies aimed at the 47 percent that Romney recently cast as entitled moochers. Ideologically, Dukakis and Kerry felt the pain of the disadvantaged and wanted to help them. Yet they weren't loved back. Both Democrats were beaten by rich Republicans whose last name was Bush. It shows that empathy is relative to your opponent and has little to do with personal wealth.
Dukakis is a frugal man with an unpretentious lifestyle. But this son of Greek immigrants accepted his party's nomination to the pounding chords of Neil Diamond's "Coming to America" for a key reason. As one New York Times analysis reported it back then, it was an effort to pump him up and help him shed his image as "aloof, cerebral, and technocratic."
It would take more than a theme song to change Dukakis. His penchant for intellectualizing issues rather than reacting to them in a visceral way undercut his ability to connect with voters. Asked by debate questioner Bernard Shaw if Kitty Dukakis, the candidate's wife, were raped and murdered, "would you favor an irrevocable death penalty for the killer?" Dukakis dispassionately replied, "No, I don't, Bernard, and I think you know that I've opposed the death penalty during all my life." Election over.
The parallels between Romney and Kerry are even stronger because of shared characteristics of personal wealth and public stiffness. During the 2004 election season, Kerry often faced headlines like this one in the Globe: "Old questions arise on patrician roots." The story noted his status as a descendant of the Winthrop and Forbes families and his prep school education. Romney, the son of a governor, also has a prep-school background that is fodder for unflattering stories.
Like Romney, Kerry has a history of making awkward jokes. His efforts to appeal to hunters — "Can I get me a hunting license here?" — were mocked. So was Romney's assertion that "I'm not a big-game hunter. I've always been a rodent and rabbit hunter. Small varmints, if you will."
In Massachusetts, these candidates were more comfortable in their own skin. (In Romney's case, Bay Staters soured on him because he became something other than the moderate he said he was when he ran for governor.)
They did not have to convince voters they were "one of us." They just had to convince voters they were "for us."
Beyond these borders, a different standard seems to apply.
Take note, Governor Patrick.

Federal judge nominee Jon Levy appears before Senate Judiciary Committee
WASHINGTON (AP) � A day after his hearing was blocked by Senate Republicans, a Maine Supreme Judicial Court justice nominated to the federal bench has gone before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Justice Jon Levy and four other federal judicial nominees on Thursday answered questions posed by committee members who are expected to make their recommendation to the full Senate in coming weeks.
Levy has the support of both of Maine's senators.
Independent Sen. Angus King, who as governor appointed Levy to the court, called him a "judge's judge." And Republican Sen. Susan Collins described him as having varied experiences including helping pro bono elderly clients and working with the juvenile justice and drug courts.
Levy was supposed to appear before the court on Wednesday, but Republicans blocked the hearing.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
God Almighty has created separate food for the physical and spiritual parts of the human being. The food of the body is material like the body itself; while the soul's food is of a spiritual nature. It is love of God, remembrance of God, nearness, presence and union with the Divine Beloved. Thus, thirst for the material and spiritual food is in the very nature of man and nobody can change his nature.
Hence, the present frustration, lack of peace of mind, mental diseases, suicides, universal conflicts, confrontations and wars, in short all our individual and collective woes and worries are due to the fact that, while every thing possible is being done to feed and fatten the body (the horse), nothing is being done to feed the soul (the rider) who really matters. So, the result cannot be different from what is before us in the form of global strife, warfare and frustration, which even the best brains are unable to eradicate.
Therefore, it can be safely said that one of the greatest tragedies, the worst failures and the severest misfortunes of all times is that man does not try to know that he is the masterpiece of God's creation. He does not know he is the Vicegerent of God on earth. He does not know that he is the microcosm combining within himself all the forces of Nature. He does not know how many suns, moons and stars rise and set in him. He does not know that oceans, mountains and deserts lie dormant in him. He does not know what forces of construction and destruction he combines. He does not know that beasts, monsters and demons lie within him. He does not know how many angels adore his audience and his countenance. He does not know what pearls of wisdom and excellence are stored in his nature. He does not know what powers of miracles and supernatural acts he possesses. He does not know what Divine Mysteries, Divine Beauty, Grace, Love, Light and Divine Wisdom he has been blessed with. He does not know what his worth is, his value, greatness, honor and esteem in the scale of creation, so that angels are commanded by the Lord to salute him. He does not know what heights of spiritual perfection in the nearness, presence and union with the Divine Lord he is capable of scaling, and what depth of Reality he is capable of fathoming. He does not know that he can fly far beyond the orbits of the sun, moon and stars and reach the regions of Divine proximity where he is delegated with Divine powers to rule over the universe. He does not know what charms, fascinations, raptures and ecstasies he enjoys in the company of the Divine Beloved so that all barriers of physicality are broken, all veils are lifted, all curtains are removed, and he stands face to face with Divine Beauty. Not only that, he becomes one with the One Beloved.
– Hazrat Maulana Wahid Bakhsh (d. 1995), one of the great modern Sufi saints of the Chisti Sufi Order. Edited from a longer excerpt and posted with permission from the excellent and spiritually enlightening Green Sufi blog.

Disappointing news on the road to London 2012. Out gymnast Josh Dixon was not named to the men's gymnastics team after the three-day 2012 U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Team Trials in San Jose. Dixon was also not named as one of three alternates.
Dixon finished 13th out of 15 competitors. R20 faves John Orozco and Dannell Leyva were named to the Olympic team.
It's still a huge accomplishment for the gymnast. Dixon was recently named to the U.S. Senior Men's National Team. Advancing to the Olympic trials was a huge accomplishment, not to mention publicly coming out during the process.
The 22-year-old gymnast—who is Black and Japanese—is a recent graduate of Stanford University and was ranked first in the nation on the men's floor exercises. Dixon publicly came out last month and hoped to become the very "first out American gymnast at the Olympics".
Dixon became the second openly gay world class gymnast hoping to compete at London 2012. The other gymnast is also Black and biracial: 25-year-old Dutch athlete Jeffrey Wammes, who came out in April 2011. Wammes was one of seven shirtless jocks to cover L'HOMO, a special edition of Linda Magazine.
Dixon was also profiled in a glowing tribute at OUT.com last week. Make sure you read it.

Fourth of July Party Favorites
If you are like pretty much everyone in America, you will be spending the fourth with family and/or friends. It's just one of those holidays that screams backyard get-together. I myself will be enjoying a fun-filled fourth with the ones I love and am planning on bringing a couple of these delicious ideas for the party.
Red, White and Blue Strawberries – Ingredients: 1-12 oz. bag of white chocolate chips, strawberries and blue sugar or blue edible glitter. Instructions: Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave according to the package directions. Dip strawberries into the chocolate and then into blue sugar or edible glitter one at a time. Set strawberries on waxed paper to harden. http://grinandbakeit.com/all-american-chocolate-covered-strawberries
Fourth of July Fruit Basket – Just fill a basket full delicious red and blue fruit and garnish with a small American flag. http://www.punchbowl.com/p/july-4th-party-favors
Fourth of July Licorice – Grab your favorite red licorice and cut some patriotic paper into strips, wrap them around the licorice and tape paper together on the back side. http://roomtoinspire.blogspot.com/2010/07/redvines-for-all.html
Flag Day Cake – Bake your favorite cake in a large rectangular pan and frost with white frosting. Then garnish with blueberries and strawberries in a flag pattern. http://www.kateplusmy8.com/happy-fourth-of-july-2/
Red, White and Blue Drinks - Ingredients: Cranapple juice, Sobe pina colada, G2 Gatorade and ice. Instructions: Fill glass 1/3 full with cranapple juice, then fill the glass to the top with ice and slowly pour other drinks directly on top of the ice. There are two secrets to layered drinks, one is plenty of ice and the other is the sugar content. You want to layer the drinks with the highest sugar content on the bottom to the least sugar content on top. http://www.inkatrinaskitchen.com/2012/06/july-4th-layered-drinks.html

Having had OBSERVATION HIVES all my life I cant resist saying: there is a whole new level of understanding and education to be gained when you can watch them any time in any weather, for as long as you like. You cant think like a bee but you can watch them think.
There is so much you cant get just popping the top for a short, pressured time in good weather and disrupting the colony of an outdoor hive. With your Observation Hive you get things like; hearing conflicting Queens, sing and battle it out; seeing a new little girl chew her way out of her cell and rub herself off and begin her duties; following a forager bringing in pollen to the colony and find a cell and deposit it and another worker come and pack it in; a respect for their body abilities; legs, wings tongues; this and endless more.
And a respect for the selflessness of the individuals of colony and getting to know each as hard working individuals and (oops) friends.
I highly recommend an Observation hive as a priority in anyones Bee Education, weather youre a commercial beekeeper or just starting out. Build one of your own or buy one.

[[!template id=project title="Socket option to timestamp UDP packets in the kernel" contact=""" [tech-kern](mailto:email@example.com) """ mentors=""" [Christos Zoulas](mailto:email@example.com) """ category="kernel" difficulty="easy" duration="3 months" done_by="Vlad Balan" description=""" Many applications that use UDP unicast or multicast to receive data, need to store the data together with its reception time, or time the arrival time of packets as precisely as possible. This is required for example in order to be able to replay the data in simulated real-time to be able to do further performance analysis or quality control. Right now the only way to do this is to call [recv(2)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?recv+2+NetBSD-5.1+i386)/[recvmsg(2)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?recvmsg+2+NetBSD-5.1+i386)/[recvfrom(2)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?recvfrom+2+NetBSD-5.1+i386) to grab the data, followed by [gettimeofday(2)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?gettimeofday+2+NetBSD-5.1+i386)/[clock_gettime(2)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?clock_gettime+2+NetBSD-5.1+i386). This is undesirable because: * It doubles the number of system calls limiting the effective maximum reception rate. * The timing of the packet is imprecise because there non-deterministic delay from the time that the packet hit the network adapter till the time userland received it. Linux provides a socket control message to add timestamp ancillary data to the the socket, which can be controlled by 2 different socket options SO_TIMESTAMP and SO_TIMESTAMPNS, using [setsockopt(2)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?setsockopt+2+NetBSD-5.1+i386). Recently linux added more [SO_TIMESTAMPING_*](http://lwn.net/Articles/325929/) options to provide even more precise timestamps from NIC cards that support them. This project is about implementing those options on NetBSD. Their implementation should be done as close to the code that does reception as possible to minimize timestamp delay. The SO_TIMESTAMP option is already done in the kernel (perhaps only partially): [kern](http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/kern/uipc_socket.c), [ip](http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet/ip_input.c), [raw](http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet/raw_ip.c), [udp](http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet/udp_usrreq.c), [ip6](http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet6/ip6_input.c), [sys](http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/sys/socket.h). A good reading would also be [timestamping.c](http://alinux.tv/Kernel-2.6.34/networking/timestamping/timestamping.c) This project is to finish implementing SO_TIMESTAMP in the kernel, test it, add SO_TIMESTAMPNS (both very easy, should be a few hours of work), and then design and implement the SO_TIMESTAMPING_* options, get at least one driver working with them and test them.

Countdown (1982)
Countdown is a British game show involving word and number puzzles. It is produced by ITV Studios and broadcast on Channel 4. It is presented by Nick Hewer, assisted by Rachel Riley, with regular lexicographer Susie Dent. It was the first programme to be aired on Channel 4, and 67 series have been broadcast since its debut on 2 November 1982. With over 5,000 episodes, Countdown is one of the longest-running game shows in the world, along with the original French version, Des chiffres et des lettres, which has been running on French television continuously since 1965. Countdown was initially recorded at The Leeds Studios for 27 years, before moving to Granada Studios in 2009, and then over to MediaCityUK in Salford Quays in 2013. The programme was presented by Richard Whiteley for over 20 years, until his death in June 2005. It was then presented by Des Lynam until the end of 2006, Des O'Connor until the end of 2008, and Jeff Stelling until the end of 2011. The current presenter is Nick Hewer. Carol Vorderman, the show's co-host, who had been on the programme since it began, left the show in December 2008, at the same time as O'Connor. She was replaced by Rachel Riley. A celebrity guest features in every programme, and provides a brief interlude before the first advertisement break. The two contestants in each episode compete in three disciplines: eleven letters rounds, in which the contestants attempt to make the longest word possible from nine randomly chosen letters; three numbers rounds, in which the contestants must use arithmetic to reach a random target number from six other numbers; and the conundrum, a buzzer round in which the contestants compete to solve a nine-letter anagram. During the series heats, the winning contestant returns the next day until he or she loses or has accumulated eight wins. The best contestants are invited back for the series finals, which are decided in knockout format. Contestants of exceptional skill have received national media coverage, and the programme as a whole is widely recognised and parodied within British culture.

Sharon Bennett Connolly writes:
I have been fascinated by history for over 30 years now. I have studied history academically and just for fun – I've even worked as a tour guide at historical sites.
I'm now having great fun, passing on my love of the past to my 11-year-old son. We like nothing better, during the school holidays, than hunting dragons through Medieval castles or exploring the hidden alcoves of Tudor Manor Houses. He is fantastic at identifying bread ovens, spotting fireplaces and the defensive features of most castles.
I have always said I would really like to write about history, but there was always something else that needed doing.
But then, for Christmas 2014, my husband gave me my very own blog – and I haven't looked back. As I love researching and writing those stories that have made history so exciting to me, the blog has given me the chance to share what I love – the stories themselves, and the places they happened – in the hope that you do too.
And in 2017 things got even more exciting! I completed my first non-fiction book, Heroines of the Medieval World, which was published by Amberley on 15th September 2017.
Heroines of the Medieval World examines the lives and actions of medieval women were carefully controlled and restricted by the men who ruled the homes, countries and world they lived in. It was men who fought wars, made laws and dictated religious doctrine. It was men who were taught to read, trained to rule and who were expected to fight to defend their people and country. Today, it is easy to think that all women from this era were down-beaten, retiring and obedient housewives, whose sole purpose was to give birth to children (preferably boys) and serve their husbands. Heroines of the Medieval World looks at the lives of the women – some well known and some almost forgotten to history – who broke the mould; those who defied social norms and made their own future, consequently changing lives, society and even the course of history.
Some of the women featured you will have heard of, such as Eleanor of Aquitaine, who was not only a duchess in her own right but also Queen Consort of France through her first marriage and Queen Consort of England through her second, in addition to being a crusader, a rebel and regent of England. Then there are those who have been all but forgotten, including Nicholaa de la Haye, the remarkable woman who defended Lincoln Castle in the name of King John, and Maud de Braose, who spoke out against the same king's excesses and whose death (or murder) was the inspiration for a clause in the Magna Carta.
November 15th 2018 saw the release of my second book, Silk and the Sword: The Women of the Norman Conquest, which traces the fortunes of the women who had a significant role to play in the momentous events of 1066. Harold II of England had been with Edith Swan-neck for twenty years but in 1066, in order to strengthen his hold on the throne, he married Ealdgyth, sister of two earls. William of Normandy's duchess, Matilda of Flanders had, supposedly, only agreed to marry the Duke after he'd pulled her pigtails and thrown her in the mud. Harald Hardrada had two wives – apparently at the same time. Tracing the stories of such women as Emma of Normandy, wife of both King Cnut and Æthelred II, Lady Godiva, Edith Swanneck and Saint Margaret, a descendant of Alfred the Great himself, and Queen of Scotland, the book revisits the famous Norman Conquest with the focus firmly on the women who experienced and influenced the events.
I have also written an English language history of Nikolai Tesla for Pearson, to be used in schools in Brazil. My first 'tv expert' appearance will be on Australian tv's Who Do You Think You Are? on 7 May 2019 (but ssh, I can't say anything more – I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise!) I have several more projects in the works, including an article for All About History magazine and four more books: a biography of the Warenne Earls of Surrey; a study of the women of the Anarchy, the civil war between King Stephen and Empress Matilda; and a full-length biography of my favourite Heroine, Nicholaa de la Haye. I will keep you posted on publication dates nearer the time.
I am currently working on my third book, Ladies of the Magna Carta, which will be released through Pen & Sword in May 2020:
Magna Carta clause 39: No man shall be taken, imprisoned, outlawed, banished or in any way destroyed, nor will we proceed against or prosecute him, except by the lawful judgement of his peers or by the law of the land.
This clause was included in Magna Carta in response to the appalling imprisonment and starvation of Maud de Braose, the wife of one of King John's barons. Ladies of Magna Carta looks into the life and death of Maud de Braose, and how it brought about the Magna Carta clause. It will also look at the wives of some of the barons who put their seal to Magna Carta. Ladies of Magna Carta looks into the relationships – through marriage and blood – of the various noble families and how they were affected by the Barons' Wars, Magna Carta and its aftermath; the bonds that were forged and those that were broken.
