Britpop was a British alternative rock movement from the mid 1990s, characterised by the appearance of bands who were influenced by British guitar pop music of the 1960s and 1970s.

In geography, an oasis is an isolated area of vegetation in a desert, typically surrounding a spring or similar water source. The location of oases has been of critical importance for trade and transportation routes in desert areas. Caravans must travel via oases in order that supplies of water and food can be replenished. Thus, political or military control of an oasis has in many cases meant control of trade on a particular route. For example, the oases of Awjila, Ghadames and Kufra, situated in modern-day Libya, have at various times been vital to both North-Sou ...
