Detective Inspector Richard Poole is a character in the crime drama television series Death in Paradise, portrayed by Ben Miller. Poole also appears in novels based on the TV series written by Robert Thorogood.

Description

A British police inspector assigned to Saint Marie to investigate the previous inspector's murder, Poole was instructed to remain on the island as the new detective inspector. Despite his dislike for the island and inexperience with tropical weather – to the point where he continued to wear his old suits – he often showed himself to be a psychological genius, making decisions based on minimal information and random events, and favoured making arrests by addressing all the suspects at once before identifying the killer.

In series 2 he became somewhat more content with island life. He recommended a colleague, Fidel, for the sergeant's exam. Despite their frequent arguments over his dislike for the island and the French, his detective sergeant, Camille Bordey, developed romantic feelings for him as indicated in ‘A Murder on the Plantation’. Her mother, Catherine, had arranged a blind date during the Erzulie celebrations at which Camille briefly mistook Poole for her date. She seemed happy until her mistake was realized. Ending the series, Poole briefly returned to London, but, in spite of his dislike for Saint Marie, he chose to return.

Poole was murdered in the first episode of series 3, at a Cambridge University reunion, by a fellow student when he threatened to expose her identity theft. He was succeeded by DI Humphrey Goodman.

Poole makes a brief guest cameo in Series 10, Episode 6 when Camille returned to the island briefly to help on a case and due to her mother Catherine being admitted to hospital after being attacked, leaving her close to death from a head trauma. Appearing as a manifestation of her subconscious, he tells her to not dwell on neglecting to visit Catherine since leaving the island and encourages her to spend more time with Catherine.

Poole is an "English eccentric with a hatred for island life". According to Michael Hogan, Poole "harrumphs around Hugh Grant-ishly in his uptight Brit suit and carries a briefcase, endlessly dabbing at his forehead with a hankie." Hogan goes on to argue that Poole is a "bland blend of several dozen quirky screen sleuths: a bit of Morse here, a dash of Columbo there, a pinch of Precious Ramotswe and a lug of Jonathan Creek to taste." The episode ‘An Unholy Death’ reveals that he suffers from "sphenisciphobia" (an irrational fear of nuns) as a result of a painful experience during his school days.

Hakea falcata, commonly known as sickle hakea, is a shrub in the family  Proteacea and is endemic to southern Western Australia. It has narrow egg-shaped leaves, cream flowers and blooms in spring.

Description
The erect loose non-lignotuberous shrub typically grows to a height of . The branchlets have a patchy covering of pale rusty-brown coloured hairs. The flat curved evergreen leaves have a linear to narrowly obovate shape with a length of  and a width of  and have three or rarely four longitudinal veins. It blooms from September to November and produces white-yellow or white-pink flowers. Each solitary inflorescence contains 25 to 40 flowers with a creamy coloured perianth and a cream pistil with a length of . After flowering an obliquely narrowly ovate, curved and prominently beaked fruit is produced which is  in length and  wide. The fruit contain narrowly ovate shaped blackish brown seeds with a wing down one side.

Taxonomy and naming
The species was first formally described by the botanist Robert Brown in 1830 as part of the work Supplementum primum prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae. The only synonym is Hakea falcata var. falcata as described by Carl Meissner.
The specific epithet is taken from the Latin word falcatus meaning curved like a sickle, referring to the shape of the leaves.

Distribution
It is endemic to an area along the coast in the South West and Great Southern regions of Western Australia between around Busselton and Albany and with a small population isolated in the Stirling Range around Cranbrook. It is found in winter wet depressions and other damp areas growing in peaty-sandy or sandy-clay soils. The shrub is often part of the understorey in jarrah forest or open Eucalypt woodland communities.

Sir George Edwards OBE (5 October 1850 – 6 December 1933) was a trade unionist and Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom.

Early life and career 
Edwards was born in Marsham, Norfolk, the son of a poor ex-soldier who worked as an agricultural labourer. After the Crimean War, when the family's income was threatened by rising prices, they had to enter the workhouse for a year. At the age of 6, Edwards went to work for one shilling (five pence) a week, scaring crows. Because of the need to work he never went to school, and only learnt to read and write in adult life, being taught by his wife.

He joined the Primitive Methodists, and married at the age of 22. In 1889 he became secretary of the Norfolk and Norwich Amalgamated Labour Union, which ceased to exist in 1896.

Ten years later (1906) he founded the Eastern Counties Agricultural Labourers & Small Holders Union later known as the National Union of Agricultural and Allied Workers, and became its general secretary. He cycled over 6,000 miles to meetings in the first year, and built its membership to over 3,000.

Political career 
In 1906 he was elected to Norfolk County Council, in 1914 he became a magistrate, and in 1918 he became a county alderman. During the war he served on various committees and was given the OBE.

He contested the South Norfolk constituency at the 1918 general election. He won 26% of the votes, losing to the Liberal Party candidate William Cozens-Hardy.

When Cozens-Hardy succeeded to the peerage in 1920 as Baron Cozens-Hardy, Edwards won the resulting by-election in July 1920, with 46% of the votes, with Liberal vote split between pro- and anti-coalition candidates.  Edwards was then nearly 70 years of age, one of the oldest ever by-election winners. At the 1922 general election, the Liberals did not field a candidate, and he lost the seat to the Conservative Thomas William Hay.

Edwards was returned to the House of Commons at the 1923 general election, when he beat Hay with a majority of only 861 votes, but lost again in 1924, to the Conservative James Christie. He did not stand for Parliament again.

He was knighted in 1930. His wife died in 1912, and they had no children.

Sayf ibn Umar al-Usayyidi al-Tamimi () was an 8th-century Islamic historian and compiler of reports who lived in Kufa. He wrote the  ('The Great book of Conquests and Apostasy Wars'), which was the later historian al-Tabari's (839–923) main source for the Ridda wars and the early Islamic conquests. It also contains important information on the structure of early Muslim armies and government. According to al-Dhahabi, Sayf died during the reign of Harun al-Rashid (786–809).

Life 

Little is known about Sayf, except that he lived in Kufa and belonged to the tribe of Banu Tamim.

Reliability 

The reliability of his hadiths has long been contested.

Since he was the sole transmitter of many of his historical narrations, especially pertaining to the conquest of Iraq, some historians have accused him of fabrication or exaggeration, most notably Julius Wellhausen. His narrations are said to be influenced by the tribal traditions of Banu Tamim. However, he also collected accounts that highlight other tribes.

Recent scholarship suggests that Sayf is more reliable than previously thought. W. F. Tucker and Ella Landau-Tasseron note that although Sayf may have been an unscrupulous hadith collector, this should not detract from his general reliability as a transmitter of historical information (akhbārī). Tucker adds that accusations of bias could equally be leveled at other akhbārīs contemporary to Sayf, including the Shi'a historian Abu Mikhnaf. Fuat Sezgin, Albrecht Noth, and Martin Hinds have also challenged Wellhausen's views and placed Sayf on an equal footing with other traditionalists.

A lei niho palaoa is a Hawaiian neck ornament traditionally worn by aliʻi (chiefs) of both sexes.  The 19th century examples are most commonly made of a whale tooth carved into a hook-shape suspended by plaited human hair.

The symbolism is not known; it may represent a tongue that speaks the law, or may represent a vessel for mana (inherited virtue).  Precontact lei niho palaoa were less than two inches in length, and were not only made of whale ivory, but also of shell, bone, wood, stone, and coral.  Sometimes, several of these smaller pendants were strung on twisted human hair.<ref>Kaeppler, Adrienne L., Polynesia, The Mark and Carolyn Blackburn Collection of Polynesian Art, University of Hawaii Press, Honolulu, 2010, p. 371</ref> The Bishop Museum has a lei niho palaoa'' with a hair bundle having a circumference of 7.5 inches.  It is made from a single eight-ply square braid cord, measuring 1,708 feet, looped back and forth over 1000 times on each side.

Netley, officially referred to as Netley Abbey, is a village on the south coast of Hampshire, England. It is situated to the south-east of the city of Southampton, and flanked on one side by the ruins of Netley Abbey and on the other by the Royal Victoria Country Park.

Historical development
As late as 1800, Netley consisted of little other than the ruins of the Abbey, and two villas known as Netley Castle and Netley Lodge. Development of the village expanded after the founding of the old Royal Victoria Military Hospital (or Netley Hospital) in 1856, in connection with the Crimean War.  The hospital was used extensively from 1863 through World War II until its closure in 1979 when it was converted into a country park.

Earlier, the abbey ruins made Netley a popular excursion from Southampton - both Cassandra Austen and her sister Jane planning excursions there, for example, when staying in the town in 1808.

Present-day

The oldest part of Netley retains the feel of a somewhat old-fashioned and quaint village, with some traditional small shops, and rows of colourful terraced cottages. It is located along the eastern shore of Southampton Water; the shingle beach looks across to Hythe and Fawley, although the vista is somewhat dominated by Fawley Oil Refinery.

Away from the shore, larger estates of houses have developed over the years which have greatly increased Netley's population and blurred the boundary between Netley Abbey and Butlocks Heath. There were two schools linked to each other, called Netley Abbey Infant School and Netley Abbey & Butlocks Heath County Junior School; there was extensive building on the site of the junior school in the late 1980s, and the site now provides a primary school for the village. There are a handful of churches, including the parish church of St Edward the Confessor. It was completed 1886 and contains a partial effigy of a knight taken from Netley Abbey. The church was originally designed by J. D. Sedding.

Netley Railway Station has hourly services to Southampton Central and Portsmouth Harbour via the train company South Western Railway, providing links for commuters both in and out of the village.

There is a pub 'The Prince Consort' in a Victorian building that was previously a hotel.
