Everyone with an interest in English football knows that this
season's UK Premiership winners were Arsenal Football Club
but how many know how the club started or what it was first
called?
When it was originally formed in 1886, the club had very
humble beginnings as a departmental team at the Royal Arsenal
in Woolwich. Most of the players were workers in a department
at the Royal Arsenal called 'Dial Square' and so they decided
on an appropriate name for themselves which was 'Dial Square
FC'.
They later changed their name to Royal Armoury and eventually,
just before World War One, when they moved to their current
home at Highbury, the name was changed simply to Arsenal which
is how we know the great team of today.
For anyone who is interested in learning more about the
incredible history of The Gunners I would recommend a book
called 'The Arsenal Collection' which is available direct from
it's publisher Breedon Books at:

Many people around the world will automatically associate the town of Burton on Trent with beer and the brewing industry. There have been many times when I have visited bars in different countries and have seen the distinctive Bass red triangle and the words 'Brewed in Burton Upon Trent' on a beer mat or etched on an ornamental mirror.
Fibonacci - Who was he and how could he improve my stock market profits?
The word Fibonacci means a lot of things to a lot of different people. For mathematicians, Fibonacci is an important number sequence. For some painters, sculptors, and other visual artists, Fibonacci is a principle theory of the arts. For traders, businessmen, economists and the like, Fibonacci is a system that can efficiently predict market trends. Yet, for most of us, Fibonacci sounds incredibly complex and something that we'd rather not discover. But what exactly is Fibonacci? What does it mean and for what is it used?
