It reads: "This time gave rise to the albums Low, Heroes and Lodger. They enter music history as the 'Berlin Trilogy.'" The trio of albums was produced at the famous Hansa Studios, not far from where the Berlin Wall stood. The German capital was filled with tributes and mourning fans in January following Bowie's death. His most famous work from the period, Heroes, reflected the zeitgeist of the Cold War and was described by Mayor Michael Mueller shortly after Bowie's death as "our then-divided city's hymn." Speaking at Monday's event, Mueller said Bowie didn't need to wait the usual five years after his death to be officially commemorated. "With David Bowie we are quite certain" that he will remain an important symbol for Berlin for years to come.

When the nurses who worked in the first half of the 19th century in British hospitals, it was usually to former servants or widows who found no other job and therefore were forced to earn their living by this work. Not better the reputation of the nurses, the patient had cultivated in their home. Charles Dickens caricatured in his 1842-1843 published novel Martin Chuzzlewit in the figure of Sairey Gamp such a nurse as incompetent, negligent, alcoholic and corrupt. Modeled his character was the nurse who temporarily supplied a diseased servant in the household of his patron and friend Angela Burdett-Cou

“When she started out there was no such thing as nursing,” says Caroline Worthington, director of the Florence Nightingale Museum, which will ­reopen next month after a £1.4million revamp. “The Dickens character ­Sarah Gamp, who was more interested in drinking gin than looking after her patients, was only a mild ­exaggeration. Hospitals were places of last resort where the floors were laid with straw to soak up the blood.

“Florence transformed nursing when she got back. She had access to people in high places and she used it to get things done. Florence was ­stubborn, opinionated and forthright but she had to be those things in ­order to achieve all that she did.”

Sir Ridley Scott (born 30 November 1937) is an English film director and producer. Following his commercial breakthrough with the science-fiction horror film Alien (1979), his better-known works are the neo-noir dystopian science fiction film Blade Runner (1982), crime drama Thelma & Louise (1991), historical drama and Best Picture Oscar winner Gladiator (2000), war film Black Hawk Down (2001), crime thriller Hannibal (2001), biographical crime film American Gangster (2007), and science fiction films Prometheus (2012) and The Martian (2015).

Scott is known for his atmospheric, highly concentrated visual style. Though his films range widely in setting and period, they frequently showcase memorable imagery of urban environments, whether 2nd century Rome (Gladiator), 12th century Jerusalem (Kingdom of Heaven), medieval England ("Robin Hood), contemporary Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down), or the future cityscapes of Blade Runner. Scott has been nominated for three Academy Awards for Directing (for Thelma and Louise, Gladiator and Black Hawk Down''), and in 1995 both Ridley and his brother Tony received the BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Contribution To Cinema. In 2003, Scott was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace for his "services to the British film industry". In 2015 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Royal College of Art in London.

Wells had attracted the attention of German officials because of his criticism of the political situation in Germany. At a PEN conference on Ragusa, Wells refused to yield to Nazi sympathisers who demanded that the exiled author Ernst Toller be prevented from speaking.

On May 1933 Wells' books were burned by the Nazis in Berlin's Opernplatz, and his works were banned from libraries and bookstores.

In November 1962, Olivia Dahl died of measles encephalitis at age seven. Her death left him “limp with despair”, and gave him a feeling of guilt that he couldn't do anything for her, writing. “I wish we’d had a chance to fight for her." Dahl subsequently became a proponent of immunisation and dedicated his 1982 book The BFG to his daughter. After the death of his daughter, Dahl lost faith in God and viewed religion as a sham. While mourning her loss he had sought spiritual guidance from the former Archbishop of Canterbury Geoffrey Fisher, but became dismayed when Fisher told him that although Olivia was in Paradise, her beloved dog Rowley would never join her there, recalling "I wanted to ask him how he could be so absolutely sure that other creatures did not get the same special treatment as us, but the look of disapproval that had settled around his mouth stopped me. I sat there wondering if this great and famous churchman really knew what he was talking about and whether he knew anything at all about God or heaven, and if he didn’t, then who in the world did?"

After leaving Dumfries High School, he worked by stacking shelves in a local supermarket, and wrote songs and began DJ-ing in his bedroom.

The recipe book of Madam Eliza Cholmondeley, dated around 1677 and held at the Chester Record Office 4, has one of the earliest recipes (for a Marmelet of Oranges) that compares to the marmalade we know today. Written with an ink pen on rather beautiful paper, and carefully preserved by the Cheshire county archivists, it is somewhat thrilling to view the manuscript and feel connected with such an old recipe for a simple conserve of bitter oranges and sugar.

The Scots are credited with developing marmalade as a spread, with Scottish recipes in the 18th century using more water to produce a less solid preserve.

Before 1933, Wells books were widely read in Germany and Austria, with most of his science fiction works had been translated shortyly after publication.

In 1939 Well spoke of his criticism on the ideological takeover by fascism and communism;

In Communist circles you may hear the most terrible balderdash about proletarian chemistry or proletarian mathematics. In Germany also it is alleged that some remarkable iniquity attachs to Jewish physics and Einstein is denounced and banned.
