The Varbola Stronghold (Latin: Castrum Warbole, Estonian: Varbola Jaanilinn) was the largest circular rampart fortress and trading center built in Estonia, Harju County (Latin: Harria) in the 10th – 12th centuries. Parts of the ruins of the 580 meter long and 8-10 meter high limestone wall of the fortress stand til this day. The long gateways with multiple gates were built to defend the entrances. In these sections higher defensive towers were erected. There was a 13 meter deep well in the middle of the fortress and the territory held about 90 structures with furnaces for accommodation built with limestone floors and foundations.
Henry of Livonia mentions the Castrum Warbole being besieged in 1211 for several days by Mstislav the Bold of Novgorod. The conflict was resolved with a payment of seven hundred Marks.

During the Livonian crusade Livonian Brothers of the Sword invaded the territory and the people from Varbola asked for the terms of peace. The terms offered by Volquin, the Master of the Livonian Brothers of the Sword were: accepting Christianity and giving hostages. The proposal was accepted by Varbolians. The hostages were freed at the request of the envoys of the Danish king Valdemar II who had taken control over Northern Estonia. They asked that the hostages be turned over to them, as part of Estonia already belonged to the king of Denmark since it was promised by the bishops of Livonia. Master Volquin, unaware of the promise, honored the king of Denmark and the request under condition that the rights of the Livonian Brothers of the Sword shall not be diminished thereby and returned the hostages to their fathers. Thereafter the people of Varbola became the subjects of the King of Denmark. On the basis of the Danish Census Book (Latin: Liber Census Daniae) the estate surounding the Varbola trading center remained a possession of the Lode family, nobility of Estonian origin at the time. The Danish king and his son Knut owned parts of the Lohu stronghold area, and the entire Keava stronghold area in Harju County. The Varbola stronghold lost its importance only in the second quarter of the 14th century. In the 16.-17th Century the stronghold was used as a cemetery. The first known fort plan dates from 1786 and was drawn by Ludwig August von Mellin. Archaeological excavations at the site have been undertaken in 1938-41, 1953 and 1974. Among the archaeological finds were dice made of bone.

Walsall, England
Jeffrey Holland (born 17 July 1946 in Walsall and educated there at Queen Mary’s Grammar School) is an English actor well known for roles in television sitcoms, as well as BBC Radio comedy, including Week Ending.
Jeffrey joined an amateur theatre company and worked at a wine merchants and in the office of a manufacturing company before becoming a professional actor. He appeared in an episode of Dixon of Dock Green, in several episodes of Crossroads and as a soldier in an episode of Dad’s Army. He broke through to public fame in the role of Spike Dixon, the camp comic at the Maplin’s holiday camp in Hi-de-Hi!. He later appeared in Russ Abbot’s Madhouse.
The writers David Croft and Jimmy Perry reprised the three key Hi-de-Hi characters and their traits:
Paul Shane - a dodgy, amoral character who likes to look after Number One
Holland - a sensible, kind and very moral role to counter the roles played by Shane
Su Pollard - a lovable scatterbrained character
The other Perry/Croft sitcoms in which the characters appeared were You Rang, M’Lord? (1988-1993), in which the comedy situation was an aristocrat (Lord Meldrum) and his servants. Then written with Richard Spendlove there was Oh, Doctor Beeching! (1995-1997) in which the characters were the staff at a country railway station threatened with closure by Dr Beeching in the 1960s.
Winston Silcott (born 1960) was a British man of Afro-Caribbean descent who was wrongly convicted of murder as one of the Tottenham Three, who were convicted in March 1987 of the murder of Police Constable Keith Blakelock on the night of 6 October 1985 during the Broadwater Farm riot in north London. All three convictions were quashed on 25 November 1991 after forensic tests suggested that confessions had been fabricated.
Silcott subsequently received compensation of £17,000 for his wrongful conviction. Two of the investigating police officers were prosecuted for fabricating evidence but were acquitted in 1994. Silcott received a further £50,000 in compensation from the Metropolitan Police in an out-of-court settlement which ended a civil prosecution against the force for malicious prosecution.
He served eighteen years for another murder, that of boxer and reputed gangster Tony Smith, for which he was on bail when Blakelock was killed. Silcott claims that he killed Smith in self defence. Regardless of the truth in the Smith case, the negative media comment still regularly aimed at Silcott is almost always linked to his association (albeit through an overturned conviction) with the Blakelock murder rather than with the killing of Smith. He was released from Blantyre House Prison in October 2003. Silcott had also spent 6 months in prison for assault in a nightclub prior to his conviction for the murder of Smith.
In 2005, the police recruited Silcott to run a youth centre on the Broadwater Farm Estate, in a bid to reduce youth crime in the area.
In March 2007, he was found guilty of shoplifting. After his initial arrest he was held in police cells for two days for failing to reveal his real address.

The Cootamundra Wattle is a shrub or tree in the Family Fabaceae. The Latin name of the species honors the botanist Frederick Manson Bailey. It is but one of nearly 1000 species of Acacia found in Australia. The Cootamundra Wattle is indigenous to a small area in southern New South Wales but has been widely planted in other Australian states. In many areas of Victoria Cootamundra Wattle has become naturalised and is regarded as a weed, outcompeting indigenous Victorian species.
Almost all wattles have cream to golden flowers. The small flowers are arranged in spherical to cylindrical inflorescences, with only the stamens prominent. Wattles have been extensively introduced into New Zealand and are regarded by many New Zealanders as one of the most typical features of their home landscape.

Uses
A. baileyana is used in Europe in the cut flower industry. It is also used as food for bees in the production of honey.
Less than 0.02% alkaloids were found in a chemical analysis of Acacia baileyana.
Cultivation
This plant is adaptable and easy to grow. Unfortunately it has an ability to naturalize (i.e. escape) into surrounding bushland. Also, it hybridizes with some other wattles, notably the rare and endangered Sydney Basin species Acacia pubescens.
A prostrate weeping form is in cultivation. The fine foliage of the original Cootamundra wattle is grey-green, but a blue-purple foliaged form, known as ‘Purpurea’ is very popular.
