Back in the days of whist (the ancestor of bridge) the Earl of Yarborough was well aware that picking up a hand without any aces, face cards or tens was extremely rare (the actual chance is around 1400 to 1). Thus, the Earl placed a constant bet, that whenever he was dealt a non-yarborough hand he would win 1 pound, but whenever he picked up a yarborough hand he would pay 1000 pounds. The Earl won many thousands of pounds over the years, using this bet. funtrivia.com Abf.com.au Sports beginning with Y yachting — a term for sailing probably came to mind to all of us.

Yomp Yomp is Royal Marines slang describing a long-distance loaded march carrying full kit. The origin of the word is unclear. It was popularized by journalistic coverage in 1982 during the Falklands War. "Yomp" has been compared to the yomp definition “young officers marching pace” term yump used in rally-driving in the sense of "to leave the ground when taking a crest at speed", apparently a variant of jump.[1] The most famous yomp of recent times was during the 1982 Falklands War. After disembarking from ships at San Carlos on East Falkland, on 21 May 1982, Royal Marines and members of the Parachute Regiment yomped (and tabbed) with their equipment across the islands, covering 56 miles (90 km) in three days carrying 80-pound (36 kg)[3] loads. They were supposed to be transported by helicopters, but after the Atlantic Conveyor, which carried the helicopters, was sunk by Argentinian Exocet missiles on 25 May, the soldiers had to march on land. wikipedia The “Since Commando 1664” Yomp is a unique charity endurance challenge of epic proportions, with a self fund option for those who “just fancy a stroll in the park”. Run primarily on behalf of our Platinum Charity Partners, principally The Royal Marines Charity and a few others, there are a number of Premium Charity Partners, and a host of other Charities you can fund-raise for. If your preferred charity isn’t listed, just put us and them in touch and we’ll do our best to to get them signed up. This charity challenge is that tough that no serving or former Royal Marine who has attempted it has suggested it is easier than any of the famous Royal Marines Commando Tests. Complete the challenge and you will have done something tougher than most activities on the calendar each year. The average funds raised per head is ~£1000. Successful participants are entitled to a “Coveted Green Jacket” mirroring the “Coveted Green Beret” of successful Royal Marines. runultra..co.uk There are now several groups who organise yomps of varying kinds in aid of charity.

A:Yakkety Yak jokes4us.com Amazing Facts About the Yak Most yaks are domesticated although there is also a small, vulnerable wild yak population. Yaks are herd animals. Herds can contain several hundred individuals, although they are often much smaller. The herds consist primarily of females and their young, with a smaller number of adult males. A great deal of their time is spent grazing on mountain plains, eating grass, herbs and wild flowers. Yaks live at the highest altitude of any mammal. Similar to other cow species, the yak has more than one stomach which it uses to successfully get all the nutrients out of the plants it eats. Yaks have firm, dense horns which they use to break through snow in order to get the plants that are buried underneath. They will also use their horns in defence. They have a dense undercoat covered by outer hair which is generally dark brown to black in colour, which almost reaches to the ground. In winter a yak can survive temperatures as low as -40 degrees C (-40 degrees F). At night and in snowstorms they will protect themselves from the cold by huddling up together with their calves in the warmer centre. Yaks usually give birth in June. A female yak gives birth to a single calf every other year. The mother will find a secluded spot to give birth. Once born, the calf is able to walk within about ten minutes and the pair will rejoin the herd. Yaks grunt and, unlike cattle, are not known to produce the characteristic bovine lowing (mooing) sound. Historically, the main natural predator of the wild yak has been the Tibetan Wolf, but Brown Bears and Snow Leopards have also been reported to predate on Yak in some areas. Wild yak are threatened by habitat loss and over-hunting by humans. onekindplanet.org .

    Remembering the Falklands War Media, Memory and Identity Sarah Maltby palgrave macmillan memory studies Palgrave Macmillan Memory Studies Series Editors: Andrew Hoskins University of Glasgow Glasgow , United Kingdom John Sutton Department of Cognitive Science Macquarie University Macquarie , Australia Aim of the Series The nascent fi eld of Memory Studies emerges from contemporary trends that include a shift from concern with historical knowledge of events to that of memory, from ‘what we know’ to ‘how we remember it’; changes in generational memory; the rapid advance of technologies of memory; panics over declining powers of memory, which mirror our fascination with the possibilities of memory enhancement; and the development of trauma narratives in reshaping the past. These factors have contributed to an intensifi cation of public discourses on our past over the last thirty years. Technological, political, interpersonal, social and cultural shifts affect what, how and why people and societies remember and forget. This groundbreaking new series tackles questions such as: What is ‘memory’ under these conditions? What are its prospects, and also the prospects for its interdisciplinary and systematic study? What are the conceptual, theo- retical and methodological tools for its investigation and illumination?

What prompts and stimulates sports and games in Edda. This study adopts observation and interview as methodology and proffers possible ways that will bring back this age long activities to boost our cultural heritage thereby promoting and prolonging life span. It recommends that traditional games should be integrated into educational system in Igbo land. Keywords: sports, survival, traditional, entertainment, health.
