London Docklands
London Docklands is the name for the riverfront and former docks in London, the capital of the United Kingdom. It is situated in east and southeast London and it forms part of the boroughs of Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Lewisham, Newham and Greenwich. The docks were formerly part of the Port of London.
After the docks closed, the area became derelict and poverty-stricken. The Docklands' regeneration began in the 1980s. The area has been redeveloped principally for commercial and residential use. The name London Docklands was used for the first time in a government report on redevelopment plans in 1971 and has since become widely adopted. The redevelopment created wealth but also led to conflict between the new and old communities in the area.
The general history is this. The docks served the Port of London, once one of the largest ports in the world. The docks and associated buildings (such as warehouses) were largely destroyed by bombing in the early part of the Second World War. Although they were working again by the late 1950s, a general tendency for cargo ships to get larger meant that the port began to lose trade. A government decision was taken to build a new large container port on the east coast of England was carried out. That container port is at Felixstowe, and is served mostly by road transport motorways. Finally, the value of property in London made it possible to rebuild the old port areas into high-value property. Canary Wharf is the best-known redevelopment.

Whirligig beetle
The whirligig beetles are a family (Gyrinidae) of water beetles that swim on the surface of fresh water.
They usually swim on the surface of the water if undisturbed, though they go underwater when threatened. They swim rapidly in circles when alarmed. They have divided eyes which may allow them to see above and below water at the same time.
The family includes some 700 living species worldwide, in 15 genera, plus a few fossil species. Most species are very similar in appearance, though they vary in size from 3 mm to 18 mm in length. They tend to be flattened and rounded. Their shape is a good approximation to an ellipsoid, with legs and other appendages fitting closely into a streamlined surface.
Both larvae and adults are active predators. The adults carry an air bubble under their elytra, and can submerge for long periods if they want to. Mostly they move around on the surface in groups.

The Battle of Jutland was the most important naval battle in World War I.
In WWI, the German fleet was blockaded by the larger Royal Navy. For the most part, it was kept in its base at Wilhelmshaven. The Battle of Jutland happened when the German fleet, lead by Admiral Reinhard Scheer, tried to break out into the open sea. The German fleet consisted of 22 battleships, five battlecruisers, 11 cruisers and 61 torpedo-boats. Scheer also had submarines with torpedos. These he arranged outside the main British bases.
The main British bases were in Scotland: the Orkney and Shetland had a huge base at Scapa Flow, and bases on the mainland were at Cromarty on the Moray Firth and at Rosyth on the north bank of the Firth of Forth.
So, the British fleet steamed south-east from their bases and met the German fleet steaming due north. The battle was fought over a wide area at Jutland Bank west of the Skagerrak between Norway and Denmark.
Scapa Flow is a long way from the Skagerrak, but as it was, the British fleet was forewarned of the German sortie. The British had cracked the German cipher, and when Scheer gave the order to sail, the Admiralty in London gave the Grand Fleet orders to sail from the Orkneys.
This was the result of the British getting hold of three code books from wrecked ships. One book for smaller vessels was from a German freighter. Another for diplomatic messages was got from a wreck on the bottom of the North Sea. The code for the German High Seas Fleet was from a cruiser wrecked in the Baltic. Though the British did not make the best use of these sources, they had in their hands a priceless advantage.
The first group of British ships to make contact were those from the Firth of Forth, commanded by Vice-Admiral David Beatty. Beatty had six battlecruisers and four fast battleships. They got through the submarine cordon outside the Firth of Forth with no casualties.
Beatty's battlecruiser group met the German battlecruiser force led by Rear-Admiral Franz Hipper. The German advantage in range-finding (superior optics) was important, but the British cruisers were saved by the arrival of the four battleships. Since the battleships were superior in both armor and firepower, Hipper was forced to turn away towards the east and the main German force of battleships.
Finally, late in the day. the main battlefleet (the 'Grand Fleet') from Scapa Flow (led by Admiral John Jellicoe) met the main German force of battleships (commanded by Admiral Scheer). "To Scheer's range-takers... the entire arc stretching from the north to the east was a sea of fire". After ten minutes of this, Scheer signaled a simultaneous turn-away.
21 torpedos caused Jellico also to turn away, and Scheer put 10 miles between the British battleships and himself. As darkness grew, there were a few more encounters, until the German fleet made it home. They had sunk more British ships, but the balance of power had not changed.
Clearing bank
A clearing bank is one which moves money between accounts, and issues money to customers. At one time this meant taking in and giving out actual money. Now it means any kind of financial transaction.
In banking and finance, clearing means all activities from the time a commitment is made for a transaction until it is settled. This process turns the promise of payment (for example, in the form of a cheque or electronic payment request) into the actual movement of money from one account to another.
In the UK they are officially called a Cheque and Credit Clearing Company. In the United States the Federal Reserve performs an intermediary role, clearing and settling international bank payments.

Significant other (SO) is way of saying a person has a close relationship. Deliberately, it does not say what the relationship is.
It refers to a person's partner, but says nothing about marital status, relationship status, or sexual orientation. Similar terms, but more specific, are: sweetheart, better half, spouse, domestic partner, lover, soulmate, or life partner.
The term is now often used in invitations, such as to weddings and office parties. In correspondence from hospitals, for example, "you may be accompanied for your appointment by a significant other". "Relevant other" is another ways of saying the same thing. "Significant others" is sometimes used.
Also, in psychology, psychiatry and sociology, it may mean someone who has a big influence on the person.
The first known use of the term was in the U.S.

The earliest traces of human settlements come from the end of the Mesolithic period (6000-5000 BC) in shelter in the Col des Roches. The site includes the oldest pottery found in the Canton of Neuchâtel, along with many tools, the molar of a mammoth and deer and wild boar bones. The shelter was discovered in 1926 by a customs official and was the first site of its kind studied in Switzerland.
However, between 4000 BC and the Middle Ages nothing is known about the Le Locle area.
