Villages In Derbyshire
A village is a human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Although villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement. In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a church.-4; we might wonder whether there's a point at which it's appropriate to talk of the beginnings of French, that is, when it wa ...

Risley Park Lanx
The Risley Park Lanx is a large Roman silver dish (or lanx) that was discovered in 1729 in Risley Park, Derbyshire, and was later lost from view. In Roman times, a lanx was generally a large serving platter, about 15 by 20 inches in size.Lysons, Daniel; Lysons, Samuel (1817)"Antiquities: British and Roman" ''Magna Britannia'' Volume 5. pp. CCIII-CCXVIII. Retrieved 26 November 2007. Particularly ornamented ones were used to make offerings or sacrifices. The inscription on the Risley Park Lanx suggests it was used as "church plate". Subsequently, lost, the Risley Park Lanx re-emerged in the 1990s, as a supposed heirloom of the now-notorious art forger Shaun Greenhalgh and his family. Bought by private buyers and donated to the British Museum, it was on display for several years, but was removed when its authenticity became suspect. It was later determined to be a complete fabrication. The fate of the original, genuine, Risley Park Lanx is unknown. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

North-east Passage
The Northern Sea Route (NSR) (, shortened to Севморпуть, ''Sevmorput'') is a Sea lane, shipping route about long. The Northern Sea Route (NSR) is the shortest shipping route between the western part of Eurasia and the Asia-Pacific region. Administratively, the Northern Sea Route begins at the boundary between the Barents Sea, Barents and Kara Seas (the Kara Strait) and ends in the Bering Strait (Cape Dezhnyov, Cape Dezhnev). The NSR straddles the seas of the Arctic Ocean (Kara Sea, Kara, Laptev Sea, Laptev, East Siberian Sea, East Siberian and Chukchi Seas).

The Northern Sea Route itself does not include the Barents Sea, and it therefore does not reach the Atlantic. The Northern Sea Route currently serves the Arctic ports and major rivers of Siberia by importing fuel, equipme ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
