Penshurst is a village and civil parish in the Sevenoaks District of Kent, England. The parish is located on the northern slopes of the Weald, west of Tonbridge. Within the parish boundaries are the two villages of Penshurst and Fordcombe, with a combined population of some 1600 persons. The majority of the parish is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Penshurst village is located some five miles south of Sevenoaks in Kent, England. The village grew up around Penshurst Place. It lies between two rivers - the Medway and the Eden. There are many Tudor-looking buildings in the village, although some are Victorian. There is also a vineyard nearby.

The parish church, dedicated to St John the Baptist is one of the two churches in the civil parish.

The Leicester Arms, once part of the Penshurst Estate, was owned by Sir William Sidney, grandfather of poet and statesman Sir Philip Sidney. His other grandson, Viscount De L’isle was appointed Earl of Leicester in 1618 and it was shortly after this that The Leicester Arms, formerly known as The Porcupine, was renamed in his honour. The inn is now owned privately.

Penshurst railway station is some 2 miles to the north of the village, at the hamlet of Chiddingstone Causeway.

Romano Prodi (help·info) (born 9 August 1939) is a centre-left Italian politician. Since May 17, 2006, he has served as Prime Minister of Italy following the narrow and uncertain victory of his l'Unione coalition over the Casa delle Libertà led by Silvio Berlusconi in the April 2006 Italian elections. Following a government crisis, after just 9 months he submitted his resignation on February 21, 2007;[1] President Giorgio Napolitano held talks with the political forces in the parliament, and on February 24 rejected the resignation, prompting Prodi to require a new vote of confidence.[2] Prodi was previously Prime Minister from 1996 to 1998 and President of the European Commission from 1999 to 2004.

Enta Da Stage

Enta Da Stage is the debut album from East Coast hip hop group Black Moon, released October 19, 1993 on Nervous Records. The album was produced entirely by DJ Evil Dee and Mr. Walt of Da Beatminerz. Enta Da Stage features the debut of popular underground duo Smif-N-Wessun, as well as appearances from Havoc of Mobb Deep and Dru-Ha, the co-founder of Duck Down Records. Though critically acclaimed, the album sold poorly, despite having two Billboard Hot 100 hits ("Who Got Da Props?", "I Got Cha Opin"). Furthermore, the album is often overlooked in the midst of subsequent East Coast albums, such as Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Illmatic, Ready to Die, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, and The Infamous. Nonetheless, Enta Da Stage preceded the aforementioned releases —serving as a precursor to the resurgence of the New York hip hop scene in the mid-1990s
