Had the Great War continued into 1919, the Martinsyde F.4 would have equipped a large number of RAF squadrons and doubtless proved its value in combat; wartime evaluations that pitched it against the latest British, French and German fighters proved the F.4 to be by far the superior machine in most all respects. The Buzzard, as it became known, saw little use in the peacetime RAF either, the standard post-war RAF fighter being the inferior Sopwith Snipe; however several foreign air arms operated the type and examples served the Irish Republic, Latvia, Portugal, Russia, Spain and particularly Finland.

This three-part beginner course introduces digital 3D using modo 501, the latest release of Luxology’s fast-growing modeling, sculpting, texturing, rendering, and animation tool. Students are expected to have basic computer skills: creating and saving documents, surfing the web, etc. By the end of this course, students should feel comfortable with the modo interface and work flow for 3D modeling for design, illustration, or simple animation. Each part will teach a different part of the modo “pipeline” (i.e. the modo work flow) using real-world modeling exercises.

This video offers a practical guide to a new style of gardening. In fact, it is not a new style but a return to traditional methods - found in gardens all over the world from medieval monasteries to Victorian kitchen gardens - when fruit, flowers and vegetables were planted in the same beds in a delightful and productive mix. Not only does this sort of garden look good and provide constant variety all year round, but it is ideally suited to small gardens as well as large. It attracts plenty of wildlife - especially birds and insects - which helps to keep pests under control, while the different species growing side by side make the most of the soil. Geoff Hamilton, BBC TV's popular gardening expert and the presenter of "The Ornamental Kitchen Garden" television series, tells you everything you need to know to create an ornamental kitchen garden from scratch, or to transform an existing garden. He explains, with the help of drawings, how to plan your garden with paths, beds, patio and garden pool. Using step-by-step photos and easy-to-follow drawings, he shows how to make all the essential components: brick and scree paths, arbours and pergolas, cold frames, cloches and compost bins, as well as how to lay lawns. He gives detailed descriptions of the decorative plants - perennials and annuals, bulbs and herbs, climbers, vegetables, ornamental trees and shrubs, fruit trees and bushes - some old favourties and some the latest varieties - which would be most suitable for this sort of garden, explaining how to cultivate them and to propagate further plants.

Dziewiątego listopada 1805 roku lord major Londynu ogłosił Williama Pitta, premiera Wielkiej Brytanii i zaprzysięgłego wroga napoleońskiej Francji, „zbawicielem Europy". Niedawne wieści o zniszczeniu przez admirała Horatia Nelsona floty francusko-hiszpańskiej pod Trafalgarem stały się powodem do wielkiej radości. Odpowiadając na to, Pitt realistycznie zauważył: „Europa nic ma być zbawiona przez jednego człowieka. Anglia ocaliła samą siebie dzięki swoim wysiłkom i - jak ufam - ocali Europę danym przez siebie przykładem". Dwanaście tygodni później Pitt już nie żył, a armie Austrii i Rosji - dwóch wielkich mocarstw europejskich - były pokonane. Nad całym kontynentem dominował jeden tylko człowiek, a był nim Napoleon Bonapartecesarz Francuzów i król Italii.
