Why did Britain set up recruitment centers in the West Indies in the 1950's?

In the 1950,s Britain set up recruitment centres in the West Indies to recruit bus drivers and bus conductors for the UK. There was great difficulty recruiting British people to do many so-called menial jobs for the wages on offer, and there were also recruitment campaigns for jobs in hospitals, The London Underground Railway, and the national railways. Incentives were offered in the form of cheap sea passages, and there were training programs for the immigrants about British Society. Some of these, such as how to queue at a bus stop, seem faintly ridiculous nowadays!


How does corona look like?

The Sun's corona is sort of the "atmosphere" of the Sun, a large layer of faintly glowing gaseous material surrounding the Sun. We normally cannot see the corona at all, because the Sun itself shines so much more brightly than the corona does. But when the Moon blocks our view of the Sun itself, during total solar eclipse, we can see the thin, wispy glowing shell around the Sun, and get a view of some of the prominences and streamers that are part of the Sun's "weather". Once we knew what to look for, it was relatively straightforward to invent the coronagraph, a telescope with a solid disk blocking the Sun itself, and producing its own artificial eclipse.


Why does the Gryphon leave in the middle of the Mock Turtle's song in Alice in Wonderland?

The Gryphon rushes off before the Mock Turtle has finished his song to get to the trial of the Knave of Hearts.`Chorus again!' cried the Gryphon, and the Mock Turtle had just begun to repeat it, when a cry of `The trial's beginning!' was heard in the distance.`Come on!' cried the Gryphon, and, taking Alice by the hand, it hurried off, without waiting for the end of the song.`What trial is it?' Alice panted as she ran; but the Gryphon only answered `Come on!' and ran the faster, while more and more faintly came, carried on the breeze that followed them, the melancholy words:--`Soo--oop of the e--e--evening, Beautiful, beautiful Soup!'
