The fourth in line of the throne is born

At 4.24 PM on monday, Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton gave birth to a newborn son weighing 8lbs 6oz. The birth was officially announced to the world at 8.30PM.


The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, was there at the birth, which doctor’s described as “textbook”.


Huge crowds gathered outside Buckingham Palace all day in anticipation of the excellent news. When the statement ultimately arrived that the baby had been safely delivered, the people cheered in support.


There has also been a constant media attendance outside the palace and the hospital all day, covering the proceedings to the rest of the globe.


Queen Elizabeth II and her Partner Prince Phillip are thought to be “delighted by the news” while Prince Charles has made a short declaration that he was “enormously proud and content to be a grandfather for the first time” he also said that he was looking onward to seeing the baby soon.


The Duchess will remain in hospital overnight, but is said to be doing fine.


The new baby son is the third in line for the throne, following his grandfather Prince Charles and his father Prince William. Should the line of succession continue as anticipated, the boy will turn out to be the 43rd sovereign since William The Conqueror.


The pair have not yet announced a name for their new arrival. Though, in accordance with tradition, they first will present a list of preferred names to The Queen ahead of officially announcing their option. Historically, this shall let the reigning monarch to support or disapprove of the elected name.


Disapproval has happened irregularly all through the past, notably with the birth of Princess Margaret (who was initially to be named ‘Ann’) in 1930.


Though, Royal specialists say that Queen Elizabeth is more “down to earth” than a number of of her predecessors have been and that she is not possible to interfere in the christening process. The protocol is being overseen largely as a procedure and gesture of esteem on the part of the Royal duo.


There has been a lot of speculation as to what the child’s name will be, but William and Kate are likely to make a official announcement soon.

After weeks in hospital, Nelson Mandela is gradually getting better

Ex- South African Leader and civil rights icon Nelson Mandela, who is in hospital since eighth Of june, has in the last few days showed some small signs of improvement, reported by South African President Jacob Zuma.


According to Mr. Zuma, who cancelled a trip to Mozambique in order to see the 94 year old in hospital, “He’s much better now than he was when I visited him last night.”


Mr. Mandela’s daughter Makaziwe has also reported that her father is “still there”, which has given faith to tens of millions worldwide who wish the former Leader a speedy recuperation. Yet, she has also stated “he does not look good”. Mandela’s circumstance remains to be considered to be serious.


Huge crowds have gathered outside the hospital, including a bunch of children who released ninety four balloons, one for every year of Mandela’s life. US President Barack Obama described Mr. Mandela as “a hero for the world” and commented that his heritage will survive through the ages.


Online, a massive outpouring of support for Mr. Mandela, as well as his family and legacy, has dwarfed the relatively limited, culturally motivated efforts to smear the previous President’s name for shock worth and/or web hits.


Nelson Mandela was the powerful energy behind the alternate of that racist Apartheid regime with a multi-racial South African democracy.


For his actions as a member of the political underground, Mr. Mandela was jailed for twenty seven years. Before he was sentenced, Mandela notoriously made his argument for freedom and equality within the Rivona courtroom.


“I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all people live together in harmony and with equal possibilities (…) It’s an ideal that I hope to live for and to accomplish. But if needs be, it is an ideal that I am set to pass on.” He said. Upon his release, Madela ultimately grew to become South Africa’s 1st black President and was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, with ex- Leader F.W de Klerk, in 1993.


Since voluntarily stepping down as Leader in 1999, Mr. Mandela has worked as an envoy, campaigned against HIV/AIDS (an affliction which resulted in the death of his son in 2005) and negotiated peace treaties in Africa and elsewhere within the world. On his 89th birthday, he formed ‘The Elders’ a group of foremost statesmen and famous figures, with the intent of tackling some of the world’s toughest troubles.


In 2004, he retired from public life completely, seeking to engage in “quiet reflection”.


I wish Mr. Mandela a powerful and immediate recovery and remain hopeful that, in spite of his advanced years, the person known the world over as ‘Madiba’ can continue to work as a source for good in this world.

Here you can learn everything you could about chutneys and pickles, how to make them, where to purchase ingredients and how to ensure that your chutneys and pickles are totally top grade. 


Both chutneys and pickles have their origins in India and were popularized inside the United kingdom when the formulas came visiting using the earliest Indian immigrants. To this present day, the Uk people eat more Indian cuisine (principally with chutneys and pickles) than anywhere else (besides India, naturally). 


It’s amusing how much Britain has in common with its Asiatic siblings; cricket, tea, curry and an ear for a good tune are simply the starting points.
