Teddy Boy (also known as Ted) is a British subculture typified by young men wearing clothes that were partly inspired by the styles worn by dandies in the Edwardian period, styles which Savile Row tailors had attempted to re-introduce in Britain after World War II.[1] The subculture started in London in the 1950s, and rapidly spread across the UK, soon becoming strongly associated with rock and roll. Originally known as Cosh Boys, the name Teddy Boy was coined when a 1953 Daily Express newspaper headline shortened Edwardian to Teddy.
Wealthy young men, especially Guards officers, adopted the style of the Edwardian era.[citation needed] At that point in history, the Edwardian era was then just over 40 years previous, and their grandparents, if not their parents, wore the style the first time around. The original Edwardian revival was far more historically accurate in terms of replicating the original Edwardian era style than the later Teddy Boy style. It featured tapered trousers, long jackets that bear a similarity to post-war American zoot suits and fancy waist coats.
Although there had been youth groups with their own dress codes called scuttlers in 19th century Manchester and Liverpool,[2] Teddy Boys were the first youth group in England to differentiate themselves as teenagers, helping create a youth market. The US film Blackboard Jungle marked a watershed in the United Kingdom. When shown in Elephant and Castle, south London in 1956, the teenage Teddy boy audience began to riot, tearing up seats and dancing in the cinema's aisles.[3] After that, riots took place around the country wherever the film was shown.[4]
Some Teds formed gangs and gained notoriety following violent clashes with rival gangs which were often exaggerated by the popular press. The most notable were the 1958 Notting Hill race riots, in which Teddy Boys were present in large numbers and were implicated in attacks on the West Indian community.[5] The violent lifestyle was sensationalised in the pulp novel Teddy Boy by Ernest Ryman, first published in England in 1958.READ MORE-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Boy

Richard Knight Sole Proprietor at Dr. Knight Inc.-an interview
Greetings,
Okay my inspiration is that of being a light worker and energy healer since birth. I was born with 14 senses and have always used the same in order to help others. I am presently putting together a paranormal conference in September this year at Dragon Hills in north Georgia. This will be an open forum with many speakers, a panel for questions and answers, booths for advertising group affiliates, sponsors or silent business partners, and lots of advertising in lots of different means of media. Then we shall have another conference for the west coast in Arizona. The long range plans are numerous, a school to teach paranormal investigators how to provide spiritual solutions to those in crisis all over the world. Then after the two years of study they shall be selected as members of a very elite team of investigators to travel the world with me as the lead.
Then even a bit farther down the road is the creation of a community drop in center to give healings, teachings, spiritual books and supplies, statuary, jewelry, blessed candles, and magical instruction. In addition to this will be a medium sized bed and breakfast with about ten bedrooms and baths with kitchen and all for those who come long distance to receive treatments, counseling, healing, or to attend the school even.
I hope this answer most of your questions if there is anything else you would like to know feel free to ask. All services are provided on a donation basis. I have a very long list of titles and credentials including ordinations, attunements, degrees, over forty years of experience etc etc.
Blessings,
Richard

Richard III (2 October 1452 – 22 August 1485) was King of England from 1483 until his death in 1485 in the Battle of Bosworth Field. He was the last king of the House of York and the last of the Plantagenet dynasty. His defeat at Bosworth Field, the last decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses, marks the end of the Middle Ages in England. He is the subject of the fictional historical play Richard III by William Shakespeare.
When his brother King Edward IV died in April 1483, Richard was named Lord Protector of the realm for Edward's son and successor, the 12-year-old Edward V. As the young King travelled to London from Ludlow, Richard met and escorted him to lodgings in the Tower of London where Edward V's brother Richard joined him shortly afterwards. Arrangements were made for Edward's coronation on 22 June 1483, but before the young king could be crowned, his father's marriage to his mother Elizabeth Woodvillewas declared invalid, making their children illegitimate and ineligible for the throne. On 25 June, an assembly of lords and commoners endorsed the claims. The following day, Richard III began his reign, and he was crowned on 6 July 1483. The young princes were not seen in public after August, and accusations circulated that the boys had been murdered on Richard's orders, giving rise to the legend of the Princes in the Tower.
There were two major rebellions against Richard. The first, in October 1483, was led by staunch allies of Edward IV[1] and also by Richard's former ally, Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham;[2] the revolt collapsed. In August 1485, another rebellion against Richard was led by Henry Tudor and his uncle, Jasper Tudor. Henry Tudor landed in southern Wales with a small contingent of French troops, and then marched through his birthplace, Pembrokeshire, recruiting more soldiers. Henry's force engaged Richard's army and defeated it at the Battle of Bosworth Field in Leicestershire. Richard was struck down in this conflict, making him the last English king to die in battle on home soil, and the first to do so since Harold II was killed at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.TO BE RE INTERNED ON THURSDAY 26 03 2015 AT CHURCH OF ENGLAND CATHEDRAL LEICESTER ALSO LIVE EVENTS ON -http://www.channel4.com/info/press/news/week-of-exclusive-live-programming-for-burial-of-king-richard-iii-READ MORE -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_III_of_England

Possible fatty acid detected on Mars
A fatty acid might be among organic molecules discovered on Mars by Nasa's Curiosity rover.
However, it's not possible at this stage to determine whether the compound has a biological or non-biological origin.
And contamination could still be responsible for the finding.
The results come from Curiosity's SAM instrument, and were presented at the 46th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) in Texas.
Nasa scientist Daniel Glavin described the results from the first "wet chemistry" experiment carried out by Curiosity.
A long-chain carboxylic acid, or fatty acid, was a good fit for one of the data peaks detected in a mudstone called Cumberland, he told an audience at the meeting. A form of alcohol molecule may also be among the compounds analysed.
The preliminary result will excite scientists because fatty acids are key components of the cell membranes found in all life forms, including microbial organisms.
Dr Glavin told an audience that the result was "provocative", and said the link to biology was the "million-dollar question". But he explained that a -READ MORE-http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-env
