Then Oliver became a sous chef of The River Café in Fulham.
School 'dinners'
In 2005, Oliver started his 'school dinners' campaign to improve the quality of food fed to pupils in schools.
At the time it was a controversial shake-up for students and parents, Many of whom preferred food from fast food outlets ("junk food").
Some thought the students should have a healthy option available, but still be allowed to choose what they wanted to eat.
In a four-part documentary TV series Oliver ran the kitchen meals in Kidbrooke School, Greenwich, for a year.
He was disgusted by the unhealthy food being served to schoolchildren, and the lack of healthy alternatives on offer.
His campaign to improve the standard of Britain’s school meals eventually persuaded the British Government to spend £280m on school dinners.

Life and writings
Anton Praetorius was the son of Matthes Schulze.
He later changed his name to Praetorius.
In 1596 he worked as a pastor in the church in Birstein near Frankfurt am Main in Hesse.
There Praetorius worked for a prince and wrote church songs and books of religion in the year 1597.
Fight against the chase of witches
Praetorius fought against torture and against the hunting of witches.
Some women were accused of being witches.
People thought that witches can do harm to others.
So these women were arrested and put in prison.
Praetorius was so shocked about the torture of the accused woman that he demanded a stop.
His protest was successful.
In 1598 he wrote a book to protest against torture and the prosecution of witches.
The book was published again in 1602, 1613 and in 1629.
Praetorius described the terrible situation of the prisoners and protested against torture.
Theological argument against witchcraft
Praetorius was a Protestant minister.
He believed that man can do either good or bad things.
However, God chooses certain people to do certain things.
Those things can be good or bad.
According to Praetorius, witchcraft can only be a fall from the favour of God, and a pact with the devil.
But, neither the devil nor sorcerers can do more than is in their nature (and predestination).
God will punish those who are witches or sorcerers.
This however, does not give human courts a right to put those to death, they believe are guilty of the crime of witchcraft.
For Praetorius, witchcraft cannot exist, because it is beyond the faculties of either man or the devil.
It is also against Nature.

Europa is a large moon of the planet Jupiter.
It is a little smaller than Earth's Moon and it is the sixth-largest moon in the solar system.
Europa's diameter is about 3000 kilometers.
It probably has an iron core, and an atmosphere that's mostly oxygen.
The surface is icy and very smooth.
There are not a lot of craters, but there are some cracks and lines.
Because the surface is so young and smooth, scientists believe that there is a liquid ocean under the surface, and that it is kept warm by tidal heating.
In other words, Jupiter's strong gravitational pull on Europa makes it warm.
The moon Europa was found by Simon Marius in December 1609.
Galileo Galilei first saw the moon in January 1610 (he did not know Marius had found it).
Simon Marius was the one who had the idea of the name 'Europa'.
The moon Europa is named after a princess from Greek mythology who became the first queen of Crete.
However, people usually called Europa 'Jupiter II' until the middle of the 20th century.

Keane recorded the final version in 2003 at the Helioscentric Studios, East Sussex for the album.
Information of songs
The drummer for Keane, Richard Hughes, said that the band had been asked if the song was about a place.
He said that Rice-Oxley had said that to the members of the band it might be about a place or a feeling.
He also said that the song can mean something to each person and each person can relate the song to their own memories.
He felt that the song was more of a theme than being about any single place or time.
The three different music videos show Keane in a forest.
Images used when the band performs the song live include pictures of a forest.
The cover of the single has leaves falling.
One promo single had a burning tree.
"Snowed Under" b-side mentions "Manser's Shaw", a forest area in Battle, East Sussex.
"Walnut Tree" b-side mentions a tree.
B-sides
"Somewhere Only We Know" has been released two times as a single.
Each time it had a different b-side.
Walnut Tree
The lyrics of "Walnut Tree" talk about waiting for someone or something.
Rice-Oxley has not talked about a real meaning to this.
The song appeared on the "Music from the OC: Mix 2" soundtrack.
Snowed Under
"Snowed Under" talks about a place called "Manser's Shaw".
This is a place where the band used to spent their days.

A shirt is a kind of cloth which is made to cover the upper body.
In North America, shirts can mean  T-shirts, polo shirts, etc.
In Britain, a shirt has a collar, sleeves with cuffs and split in half with buttons on one side. (
North Americans would call this a "dress shirt", a specific type of "collared shirt").
Some shirts have sleeves, that cover the arms.
T-shirts are a type of shirt that has shorter sleeves.
These sleeves cover the shoulders.
Shirts that do not have sleeves are called "sleeveless".
Tops (clothing)
A T-shirt or tee shirt is a kind of shirt which has short sleeves.
These sleeves cover the shoulders and the top of the arm, but they do not cover the elbow or the forearm.
T-shirts are usually made from cotton fabric or fabric which contains a mix of cotton and polyester.
T-shirts are usually considered a casual type of clothing.
Both men and women wear T-shirts in Western countries, such as the United States, Canada, England, and France.
In some countries, such as Muslim countries, women do not wear T-shirts outside of the home.
A sleeve is a piece of material which covers an arm.
It is usually a part of a shirt or other garment.
A taxi (taxicab or cab in the United States) is a car, or other vehicle which is used for public transport.
People use them to get to where they want to go.
This means  there are no stops in between where they get on and where they get off.
Many big cities have taxis.
In most other types of public transport, such as a bus, tram, or train, the rider does not get to choose the locations where they want to get picked up or dropped off.
These vehicles often take certain roads or follow a very specific route.
Because of this, they usually do not stop exactly where people want to go.
Riding a taxi is a lot like having your own car, but you don't drive it.
You only tell the taxi driver where you want to go and he or she will take you there.
How much you pay for the ride, in most cases, depends on how far you are going from where you get on.
It is common for the price for a taxi ride to be more expensive than other forms of transport.
The first taxi-type system started in Paris and London in the early 17th century.
These were carts pulled by (carriages) and could be hired.
The monarchies that ruled these cities controlled the rules.
In the 19th century, Hansom cabs were mostly used because of their higher level of safety.
The 1891 invention by German Wilhelm Bruhn of the taximeter helped establish the modern taxi.
The first modern meter-equipped taxicab was the Daimler Victoria, built by Gottlieb Daimler in 1897.
The first motorized taxi company began operating in Stuttgart the same year.
The term taximeter is an adaptation of the French word 'taximètre', and the German word 'taxameter'.
It means measuring a tax or fee.

A sunburn is a kind of burn that happens when skin is exposed to sunlight for too long.
The ultraviolet part of sunlight breaks down natural chemicals in the skin.
This makes the skin become red.
A sunburn can be painful.
Sunburns stay for days or weeks.
People with lighter skin have more sunburns than people with darker skin.
This is because of a dark pigment called melanin that protects the skin.
There is more of it in dark-skinned people than in light-skinned people.
Eventually, if exposed to too much sunlight, skin cancer may develop.

Trieste (/triˈɛst/ tree-EST, Italian: [triˈɛste]; Slovene: Trst [tə́ɾst]; German: Triest, German pronunciation: [tʁiˈɛst]) is a city in the north-east of Italy in the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
Trieste was a Roman city that in the Middle Ages was under the control of the Republic of Venice.
Later the city was under Austrian domination until the first years of the 20th century, when Italian irredentism was very strong in Trieste.
Indeed, together with Trento, Trieste was the main focus of the Italian irredentist movement, which aimed for the annexation to Italy of all the lands they claimed were inhabited by an Italian speaking population.
Many local Italians enrolled voluntarily in the Royal Italian Army during WWI (a notable example is the writer Scipio Slataper).
The population of Trieste, practically nearly all Italian, promoted this union of the city to Italy in 1918, and since the end of WWI the city has been the capital of the Italian region called Venezia Giulia.
The population is 207.069 ab. (
It was nearly 300,000 after WWII because many Italian refugees flooded the city as a consequence of the Istrian-Dalmatian exodus.
These days, Trieste is important because of its shipbuilding industry, science parks, universities and "history on the border of western Europe".
Trieste will be connected to the Italian "TAV railway" (High Speed) network: a 300 km/hour (186 mph) fast train route is going to connect Trieste with Venice in the next few years.
During the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Trieste became a leading European city in economy, trade and commerce, and was the fourth largest and most important center in the Empire, after Vienna, Budapest and Prague.
However the economy of Trieste fell into a small decline after the city's annexation to Italy following World War I, because was cut off from the "Mittleurope".
But Fascist Italy promoted a huge development of Trieste in the 1930s, with new manufacturing activities related even to naval and armament industries (like the famous "Cantieri Aeronautici Navali Triestini (CANT)").
Allied bombings during WWII destroyed the industrial section of the city (mainly the shipyards).
As a consequence Trieste was a mainly peripheral city during the Cold War.
However, since the 1970s, Trieste has had a huge economic boom, thanks to a significant commercial shipping business to the container terminal, steel works and an oil terminal.
Trieste is also Italy's and Mediterranean's (and one of Europe's) greatest coffee ports, as the city supplies more than 40% of Italy's coffee.
Coffee brands, such as Illy, were founded and are headquartered in the city.
Currently, Trieste is one of Europe's most important ports and centres for trade and transport, with Trieste being part of the "Corridor 5" plan, to create a bigger transport connection between Western and Eastern European countries.
