Jamie Oliver (born 27, 1975), also known as the Naked Chef, is a British celebrity chef.

He grew up in a small Essex village called Clavering. He formed the band Scarlet Division with Leigh Haggerwood in 1989. His first TV break came in 1996 when he was “discovered” by television producer – Pat Llewellyn working at the River Café in London. She saw him on a documentary called “Christmas at the River Café” – and recognized his star potential immediately.

Two highly successful series of “The Naked Chef” were filmed in 1998 and 1999. And On June 24 2000 he married Juliette Norton, also known as Jools. The couple currently have two daughters – Poppy Honey and Daisy Boo.

In June 2003 he was appointed an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List. He set up the fifteen charity restaurant where he trains 15 disadvantaged young people to work in the hospitality industry. He hopes to set up similar restaurants elsewhere in the UK as well as Sydney and New York City.

He recently announced plans to relocate to a country house outside New York City. He told Night and Day magazine^ “it’s my wife’s idea. She’s talked about it for three years. I haven’t a clue why.”

He has also written columns for The Times.

Television shows

The first series that featured Jamie Oliver was “The Naked Chef” on BBC Television. The title was a reference to the simplicity of Oliver’s recipes, and nothing to do with nudity.

His work on the Fifteen restaurant was shown as “Jamie’s Kitchen” and “Return o Jamie’s Kitchen” on Channel Four. His latest show is “Oliver’s Twist”. His programmes are shows in over 40 countries, including the USA’s Food Network, where he is the second most popular presenter.

Jamie’s Kitchen

Happy Days with the Naked Chef

The Naked Chef

Alexander Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1847 in a family interested in the problems of speech. Both his father and his grandfather had studied the mechanics of a sound. Bell’s father had been one of the pioneer teachers of speech to the deaf. He was a world-famous inventor of “Visible Speech”, which helped deaf people to pronounce words they could not hear. Between 1868 and 1870 Alexander worked with his father and studied speech and taught deaf children in Edinburgh. In 1870 he moved to Canada and the next year he went to the USA. In 1866 the nineteen-year-old Bell started thinking about sending tones by telegraph, and it was then that there came to his mind the idea of the “harmonic telegraph”, which would send musical tones electrically from one place to another. In 1873 he was appointed a professor at Boston University. He became interested in the mechanical production of a sound, basing his work on the theories of Helmholtz. It seemed to Bell that it was possible to convert the sound wave vibrations into a fluctuating electric current. Then the current, in its turn, can be converted into sound waves identical with the original at the end of the circuit. In this way, sound could be carried across wires at the speed of light. It was through his famous experiments that in 1876 he was able to develop the telephone, which enables people to talk to each other over long distances. One day, while working with an instrument designed to carry sound, Bell automatically cried to his assistant, “Watson, please, come here.” Watson, at the other end of the circuit on the other floor, heard the instrument speak and ran downstairs with joy. It was the first telephone communication. In 1915 the first transcontinental telephone was opened. Bell died on August 2, 1922.

 

Michael Faraday is one of the great scientists in the history of man’s work in electricity. He was born in a small village near London on September 11, 1791, in a poor family. His family lived from hand to mouth. At the age of thirteen Michael went to work in a bookbinder’s shop, because he didn’t have much schooling. Some of the scientific works and articles which passed through his hands aroused his interest in science and he started to read.

Some time later Michael became a pupil of great scientist of that time, Sir Humphrey Davy. The boy accompanied Davy in his trips to Europe. The educational value of such trips Was great. Among great men of science Faraday met Ampere, who had already made a name for himself in the history of electricity.

Today almost all the electricity we use generated by great machines with magnets in them, but in those days no one knew how to it. That’s why the English scientist danced with delight on his table when he got what he wanted by moving the magnet near wire. This was a great moment in the history of man’s electrical experiments. But Faraday didn’t stop at this.

Faraday’s scientific interests were varied. He made new kind of glass and a new kind of steel. Faraday made about two thousand difficult experiments and made countless discoveries in chemistry and physics. He made a wonderful machine which was the father of all the great machines that make electricity today. They light and heat our houses and they make our radio-sets work. Michael Faraday was the creator of the electric motor, who ushered us in the electrical age which had changed the face of the earth.
