 Falkland Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Falkland Islands, also called the Malvinas, are an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean, located 300 miles (483 kilometres) from the coast of South America, 671 miles (1080 km) west of the Shag Rocks (South Georgia), and 584 miles (940 km) north of Antarctica (Elephant Island).
Argentina has continued to claim sovereignty over the islands, and the dispute was used by the military junta dictatorship as a reason to invade and briefly occupy the islands before being defeated in the two-month-long undeclared Falklands War in 1982 by a United Kingdom task force which returned the islands to British control.

The Falkland Islands are not on the route to anywhere, but the community is very British right down to orange marmalade and bacon for breakfast, as all products are imported by ship from the United Kingdom.

 Falklands-Malvinas :: View topic - Falklands census show Islanders are “implanted”   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
So begins the response from the members of the Falkland Islands Legislative Council to a leaked report entitled “The Fallacy of Self Determination” which is apparently due to be officially presented to the Argentine Congress this week by the recently created Argentine Parliamentary Observatory.
According to Perfil, the report dismisses the Falkland Islanders claim to the right to self-determination, under the terms of the United Nations Charter — a claim strongly supported by successive British Governments — on the grounds that the local population is not original to the Islands and cannot therefore be regarded as a separate people.
The brutal and systematic slaughter of the native Indian population throughout Patagonia is the principal reason for the land ownership statistic.

Councillor Mike Rendell explained to listeners to the Falkland Islands Broadcasting Service on Friday that in 2004/2005 the cost of overseas medical treatment at £750,000 was three hundred and fifty thousand pounds above the budget set.
While the Falkland Islands enjoy a level of medical care, which surpasses that of many much larger communities, circumstances arise from time to time which demand that specialist medical treatment or diagnostic testing should be carried out abroad.
In earlier years, specialist treatment beyond the resources of the local medical team at the King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH) in Stanley was mainly carried out in the UK, with emergency cases sometimes air-lifted to the British Hospital in Montevideo, Uruguay.

 Law.com - High Court Clerks: Still White, Still Male
In the chambers of Justices Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy, all four clerks are white males.
One caveat: As in the past, the Court itself does not provide any statistics about clerk demographics, so the tally is made through personal observation and other kinds of research -- including the always-helpful Underneath Their Robes blog, which reports many fun facts about the clerks but little about their racial or ethnic backgrounds.
But from a range of sources, it appears that the current number of minorities is substantially lower than in recent years.

 TIME.com: A Place Fit for Buccaneers -- Apr. 19, 1982 -- Page 1
Such are the Falkland Islands, the rainswept archipelago about 300 miles east of the Strait of Magellan, which is perhaps the most bizarre scene for an armed conflict since the Orcs attacked J.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.
The conflict over the Falklands originates in disputed versions of previous quarrels, and they all combine into something rich and strange.
The first mariner who kept a record of actually landing there was yet another Briton, John Strong, who arrived in 1690 and artfully named the place after the First Lord of the Admiralty, Viscount Falkland, who never came near the islands.
