A penny is a coin (pl. pennies) or a unit of currency (pl. pence) in various countries. Borrowed from the Carolingian denarius (whence its former abbreviation d.), it is usually the smallest denomination within a currency system. Presently, it is the formal name of the British penny (abbr. p) and the informal name of the American and Irish cents (abbr. ¢ and c, respectively). It is the informal name of the cent unit of account in Canada, although one cent coins are no longer minted in that country. The name is also used in reference to various historical currencies also derived from the Carolingian system, such as the French denier and the German pfennig. It may also be informally used to refer to any similar smallest-denomination coin, such as the euro cent or Chinese fen.
The Carolingian penny was originally a .940-fine silver coin weighing 1/240 pound. It was adopted by Offa of Mercia and other English kings and remained the principal currency in Europe over the next few centuries until repeated debasements necessitated the development of more valuable coins. The British penny remained a silver coin until the expense of the Napoleonic Wars prompted the use of base metals in 1797. Despite the decimalization of currencies in the United States and, later, throughout the British Commonwealth, the name remains in informal use.
The Alps (/ælps/; Italian: Alpi [ˈalpi]; French: Alpes [alp]; German: Alpen [ˈʔalpm̩]; Slovene: Alpe [ˈáːlpɛ]) are the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe, stretching approximately 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) across eight Alpine countries: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Slovenia, and Switzerland. The Caucasus Mountains are higher, and the Urals longer, but both lie partly in Asia. The mountains were formed over tens of millions of years as the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided. Extreme shortening caused by the event resulted in marine sedimentary rocks rising by thrusting and folding into high mountain peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. Mont Blanc spans the French–Italian border, and at 4,810 m (15,781 ft) is the highest mountain in the Alps. The Alpine region area contains about a hundred peaks higher than 4,000 m (13,123 ft), known as the "four-thousanders".
The altitude and size of the range affects the climate in Europe; in the mountains precipitation levels vary greatly and climatic conditions consist of distinct zones. Wildlife such as ibex live in the higher peaks to elevations of 3,400 m (11,155 ft), and plants such as Edelweiss grow in rocky areas in lower elevations as well as in higher elevations. Evidence of human habitation in the Alps goes back to the Paleolithic era.

This is me cleaning a Soundcraft Sapphyre 100mm ALPS K Fader in real time. It's the film I will be remembered for when I die. Please note that the desk and faders were in really bad shape. Uncovered and left to sit for years in a non air-tight lock-up right next to a garage. The whole desk was covered and lined with black dust I can only assume was from petrol fumes and grease. A drastic clean was needed. Tools needed. Pliers (For opening case) Steel knife (For closing case) Tweezers (For picking out crud) Toothe brush (For cleaning out crud) Lint free cloth (For cleaning) Paint brush (For removing lint and debris after cleaning) Cotton buds (For applying Deoxit F5) Caig Deoxit F5 Glass (For holding Deoxit F5)

First Mountain in the Swiss Alps of Switzerland offers the best extreme activities during the summer months ranging from mountain carting, zip line, paragliding and scooter biking which you can reach with the gondola from Grindelwald in the Jungfrau region. Did you know the Moo Moo Farm race track from Mario Kart 64 actually exists? Due to the many cows with cowbells on the First this is as close as it gets to the actual video game race track. Photos: http://www.reformatt.com/mario-kart-first-mountain-grindelwald Paragliding, 88km/h by zipline, mountain carting and scooter biking, the First mountain in Grindelwald offers it all. I recommend taking the gondola from Grindelwald in the early morning to the top of the mountain on which you can enjoy breathtaking views of the valley than ...
