What is the name of the Captain, played by Tim McInnerny, in the UK television series ‘Blackadder Goes Forth’?

Tim McInnerny profile | Blackadder | Gold Blackadder Tim McInnerny profile We all know him as the blundering Lord Percy and weaselly Captain Darling in Blackadder. But did you know that Tim McInnerny has also played one of the most iconic stage roles in the history of the West End? Get the goods on McInnerny, one of our most talented and chameleon-like character actors, with our eye-opening profile. Tweet A very serious actor Born in 1956, Tim McInnerny has long been the subject of two popular misconceptions. The first being that his name is McInnery, and the second being that he's mainly a comedy actor. In actual fact, he's generally played straight, serious parts all his life – but being such a chameleonic and versatile actor you might not actually have recognised him outside of Blackadder. As he himself said of that series: "Blackadder was such good fun, but it was just six weeks' work once every two years." When he wasn't being Lord Percy or Captain Darling, Tim was turning up in such gritty 80s dramas as A Very British Coup, which tackled left-wing politics, and Edge of Darkness, a dark conspiracy thriller. He's played serious roles ever since, in everything from Spooks to Marple – although he did have a memorable comic turn in Notting Hill, which we'll come to later… Blackadder back and forth Other than Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson, Tim was the only actor to appear in all four series of Blackadder. But why, having played Percy in Blackadders I and II, did he only make a cameo appearance in the third series before returning to a major role (Captain Darling) in the fourth? Well, he was originally asked to be the foolish, foppish Prince Regent in Blackadder the Third, but – having played Lord Percy in the first two series – he was worried about being typecast as a blundering buffoon. So, as he was still keen on being in the show, he was instead given the much smaller role of Le Comte de Frou-Frou. He was eventually lured back as a full-time member of the team by the promise of playing the devious, and very un-Percy-like, character of Darling in Blackadder Goes Forth. All singing, all dancing As well as being a great comic actor and a very serious thesp, Tim – being incurably versatile – has also dabbled in the music world. In 2001 he appeared alongside fellow actor Ioan Gruffudd in the video of Westlife's charity single Uptown Girl. But a far more surprising context for Tim was the angsty video for Kate Bush's 1989 song This Woman's Work – in which the one-time Lord Percy can be seen brooding in a dark room while Kate Bush prances and croons around him. And here's another bit of interesting music-and-Tim trivia: in 1990 he donned tights and layered on the make-up to play the transvestite Frank-N-Furter in a West End production of The Rocky Horror Show. We can imagine that quite well, actually. Tim the stuntman While Tim is perhaps proudest of the many serious roles he's played, his most fondly remembered project is actually the romantic comedy Notting Hill, in which he played Hugh Grant's best friend. Was it because the director forged such a close-knit, family-like atmosphere on set? Or perhaps because he got to work alongside screen goddess Julia Roberts (who was really down to earth, apparently)? Well yes, but the biggest buzz came from shooting the film's climax, in which Tim's character drives at breakneck speed through London with Hugh Grant in the back seat. "I actually did the driving and the screaming in the car is real because everyone was terrified," he confesses. "After it was done, the film's lead stunt man came over and told me to give him a call if the acting didn't pan out!" Tim the traveller For Tim, one of the best things about acting is the travelling it allows him to do. He's been a passionate traveller since his teenage years, despite a rather nasty incident that befell him in the gap year he took before going to university. While hitchhiking through Bologna at around 4am one morning, he was attacked by local policemen who, just for the fun of it, pretended they were going to rob him and stuck


In the UK television series ‘Blackadder the Third’ who shoots the Prince Regent when he is disguised as Blackadder?

Blackadder Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Blackadder Blackadder is a British television comedy programme from the BBC , a surreal take on British history. Blackadder is not the title of any specific series, but is the general term for the programmes - four series and several one-off episodes - taken as a whole. The series were written by Rowan Atkinson , Ben Elton , and Richard Curtis , and produced by John Lloyd . Four series were made, each one set in a different period of history, featuring the anti-hero, Blackadder. It is implied that in each series the Blackadder character is a descendant of the previous one. With each observed generation, Blackadder's social standing is reduced, from prince, to nobleman, to royal butler, to army captain - by the end, nothing more than cannon-fodder. All the series starred Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder, and Tony Robinson as his sidekick Baldrick. Each series also tended to feature the same set of actors in different period settings; thus Stephen Fry played Lord Melchett, an advisor to the Queen in the second series, and General Melchett, a blustering buffoon, in the fourth. Anachronistic references were plentiful and mainly humorous. It popularised the use of simile and associated devices for comic effect in Britain. Examples include: "Madder than Mad Jack McMad, winner of last year's Mr. Madman competition." "I've got a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel." or "As cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University." "I'm as happy as a Frenchman who's just invented a pair of self-removing trousers." "I'm as weary as a dog with no legs that's just climbed Ben Nevis ." Table of contents Blackadder: the Cavalier Years (1988) (15 minute insert in Comic Relief Night) Blackadder's Christmas Carol ( 1988 ) (45 minute Christmas special) Blackadder: Back & Forth ( 1999 ) (45 minute Millennium Dome special) Series 1: The Black Adder Set in the Middle Ages , this is in fact an alternate history . It opens with the Battle of Bosworth Field ( 1485 ) being won by Richard III (played by Peter Cook ), instead of Henry Tudor who won in real life. However, Richard III is then accidentally killed shortly after the battle, and the late King's nephew, Richard, Duke of York is crowned as Richard IV. Richard and his wife Queen Gertrude of Flowers, the Witch Queen have two sons: Harry, Prince of Wales, Prince Regent, Captain of the Guard, Grand Warden of the Northern and Eastern Marches, Chief Lunatic of the Duchy of Gloucester, Viceroy of Wales, Sheriff of Nottingham, Marquis of the Midlands, Lord Hoe-Maker in Ordinary, Harbinger of the Doomed Rat ( 1460 - 1498 ) Prince Edmund, "the Black Adder", Duke of Edinburgh, Warden of the Royal Privvies, the Laird of Roxburg, Selkirk, and Peebles, Archbishop of Canterbury, the Great Gumblededook, Duke of Hastings ( 1461 - 1498 ) It is later revealed in the episode "Born to be King" that after Harry's birth and preceding Edmund's Queen Gertrude had an affair with Donald McAngus, Third Duke of Argyll. There is a possibility that Edmund was this affair's result.If so then Edmund is Harry's half-brother and also has another half-brother: Lord Dougal McAngus, Supreme Commander of the King's Army (c. 1462 - 1487 ). By the end of the series, events converge with our timeline, when King Richard IV and his entire family are poisoned, allowing Henry Tudor to take the throne as King Henry VII . He then proceeds to rewrite history, presenting Richard III as a monster, and eliminating Richard IV's reign from the history books. In this series, the character of the Black Adder is somewhat different from later incarnations, being largely unintelligent, and relying more on the plans of Baldrick. Episode list "The Foretelling" - Richard III wins the historic Battle of Bosworth Field, but is promptly killed by his bumbling grandnephew Edmund. Understandably, the late King is livid at this, and won't let Edmund forget it. "Born to be King" - Edmund's elder brother Harry is looking after the throne while t


In the UK television series ‘Blackadder II’ what does Melchett plan to smoke after it was discovered by Sir Walter Raleigh on his voyages?

Blackadder (Series) - TV Tropes Alternate History : Most noticeably with The Black Adder, which depicts Henry Tudor as losing in the Battle of Bosworth Field, and Richard IV ruling for the next 13 years, before the eventual Henry VII rewrites the history books to scrub out Richard IV's reign. Downplayed with Blackadder II and Blackadder the Third, which does mostly follow the real path of history, albeit with a humorous spin on things. However, two major differences from real history are that Elizabeth I and the soon-to-be-George IV both got killed and replaced by Prince Ludwig and Mr. Blackadder respectively. Blackadder: The Cavalier Years for the most part follows the lead of the second and third series in putting a humorous spin on the English Civil War and the execution of Charles I, but ends by implying that the baby that in real-life became Charles II after the Restoration will end up being killed thanks to Blackadder's treachery, presumably meaning that Blackadder must have found a peasant baby to replace him. Averted by Blackadder Goes Forth which, with only two exceptions — Manfred von Richtoven and Field Marshall Haig — deals entirely with fictional characters and events within the larger setting of World War I . The sole difference between the events of the show and real-world history would be that von Richtoven got shot and apparently killed by Flashheart in 1917, rather than getting killed when his plane was shot down in 1918. Turned Up to Eleven by Blackadder Back & Forth, which gives us two alternate histories; one after Blackadder's first trip through time, in which the French conquered the UK in the 19th century, and one after Blackadder knows that he can change the present, in which the Blackadder dynasty has been in power for centuries. Artistic License ï¿½ History : Many, many examples per episode, to say nothing of the show's overall track record. But hey, Rule of Funny , people! Plus, The Black Adder can explain away its inaccuracies as Henry Tudor doing a lousy job of rewriting history (and, at a stretch, you could say that Prince Ludwig as Elizabeth I and Blackadder as George IV did something similar for the second and third series). Eliminating all artifacts from a 13-year reign would be a difficult trick to say the least. One of the reasons we know of the extremely obscure Roman emperor Elagabalus, who was declared damnatio memoriae and whose name was expunged thoroughly from official histories of the Empire, is because coinage with their face and name on it survives to the present day. And Elagabalus reigned for a mere three years. In the very last episode of the fourth series, averted. The viewers know that World War I ended in 1918, so, when Capt. Darling thinks the war has finally ended, mentioning the year 1917, it becomes clear that the characters are doomed. The Bad Guy Wins : The first series starts with the bad guy, Henry Tudor having effectively won already. Although he loses the Battle of Bosworth Field in the first episode, he eventually ends up claiming the throne thirteen years later after Percy accidentally poisons the royal family to death, then for the real kicker he rewrites the history books to erase Richard IV's reign altogether. Blackadder the Third ends with the most ruthless and evil of Blackadders usurping the identity of Prince Regent. Blackadder Goes Forth ends with all the main cast members falling victim to the madness of modern war, the real villain of this instalment. And to Melchett's questionable strategies. In contrast to the other series, the ending isn't Played for Laughs . Blackadder Back and Forth had the modern incarnation of Blackadder manipulate history via time travel to become King of the United Kingdom and making Baldrick his (puppet) Prime Minister. Blackadder: The Cavalier Years ends with Blackadder defecting to the Roundheads and ratting out both Baldrick and that baby that in real-life grew up to be Charles II. Blackadder's Christmas Carol may very well be the most extreme example: It ends with the uncharacteristically kind-hearted Ebenezer Blackadd


‘Dish and Dishonesty’ and ‘Sense and Senility’ are titles of episodes of which Blackadder television series?

Blackadder the Third Blackadder the Third Title screen of Blackadder the Third Created by 17 September 1987  – 22 October 1987 Chronology Website Blackadder the Third [1] is the third series of the BBC sitcom Blackadder , written by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton , which aired from 17 September to 22 October 1987. The series was set during the British Regency , and saw the principal character, Mr. E. Blackadder serve as butler to the Prince Regent and have to contend with, or cash in on, the fads of the age embraced by his master. The third series reduced the number of principal characters again compared with the previous series, but instead included a number of significant cameo roles by well-known comic actors. [2] The programme won a BAFTA award for Best Comedy Series in 1988 and received three further nominations. [3] Contents 8 External links Plot Blackadder the Third is set in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a period known as the Regency . For much of this time, King George III was incapacitated due to poor mental health, and his son George , the Prince of Wales , acted as regent . During this period, he was known as “the Prince Regent “. Although the Regency was in place between 1811 and 1820, the historical events and persons depicted and referenced appear to date the series before this time; anywhere in the period of the Age of Enlightenment between 1755 (the publication of Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary ) and 1805 ( just before the Battle of Trafalgar ). In the series, E. Blackadder Esquire ( Rowan Atkinson ) is the head butler to the Prince of Wales ( Hugh Laurie ), a spoiled, foppish idiot. Despite Edmund’s respected intelligence and abilities, he has no personal fortune to speak of. On the other hand, given the ease with which he is able to manipulate the Prince, he is generally in good financial straits. According to Edmund he has been serving the Prince Regent all of his life, ever since the Prince was breastfed (when he had to show the Prince which part of his mother was “serving the drinks”). Baldrick ( Tony Robinson ) remains similar to his Blackadder II predecessor , and although his “cunning plans” cease to be even remotely intelligent (except in the last episode), he is the most aware of political, religious, and social events. As Blackadder himself is now a servant, Baldrick is labelled as Blackadder’s “ dogsbody “. In this series, Baldrick often displays a more belligerent attitude towards his master, even referring to him once as a “lazy, big-nosed, rubber-faced bastard”. Blackadder often affectionately calls him “Balders” (and Baldrick sometimes calls Blackadder “Mr. B.”). There are three main sets: the Prince’s quarters, which are large and lavish, the below-stairs kitchen hangout of Blackadder and Baldrick, which is dark and squalid (though in fairness, very large and with a very high ceiling), and finally Mrs. Miggins ‘ coffeehouse . Mrs. Miggins’ pie shop was a never-seen running gag in Blackadder II; she — or at least, a descendant of hers — is now finally shown, played by Helen Atkinson-Wood . The plots of the series feature a number of then-contemporary issues and personalities, such as rotten boroughs , Dr. Samuel Johnson (played by Robbie Coltrane ), the French Revolution (featuring Chris Barrie ) and the Scarlet Pimpernel , over-the-top theatrical actors , squirrel-hating female highwaymen , the practice of settling quarrels with a duel and discussing tactics with Duke of Wellington (played by Stephen Fry). The last episode of the series also features Rowan Atkinson in the role of Blackadder’s Scottish cousin MacAdder , supposedly a fierce swordsman ; this leads to a dialogue in which Atkinson is acting both parts. Following the aftermath of this episode, Blackadder finds fortune and ends up (permanently) posing as the Prince Regent after the real Prince Regent, disguised as Blackadder, is shot by the Duke of Wellington. Episodes The series aired for six episodes broadcast on Thursdays at 9.30 on BBC One . The titles of the episodes are always a noun paired with another, derived from

Blackadder - Wikiquote Blackadder Jump to: navigation , search Blackadder ( 1983 , 1986 – 89 , 1999 ) is a television show which originally aired on BBC1 written by Richard Curtis , Ben Elton , and Rowan Atkinson . It traces members of the Blackadder dynasty and their associates through different periods of history. The Foretelling [ edit ] Opening narration: History has known many great liars. Copernicus . Goebbels . St. Ralph the Liar. [he is shown holding a sign which reads "St. Benedict the Liar"] But there have been none quite so vile as the Tudor King Henry VII . It was he who rewrote history to portray his predecessor, Richard III , as a deformed maniac who killed his nephews in the Tower . But the real truth is that Richard was a kind and thoughtful man who cherished his young wards, in particular Richard, Duke of York , who grew into a big, strong boy. Henry also claimed he won the Battle of Bosworth Field and killed Richard III. Again, the truth is very different; for it was Richard, Duke of York, who became king after Bosworth Field, and reigned for thirteen glorious years. As for who really killed Richard III and how the defeated Henry Tudor escaped with his life, all is revealed in this, the first chapter of a history never before told: the history of... the Black Adder! Edmund : Ah, Percy, you see how the King picks me out for special greeting? Percy : No, my lord. Baldrick : I saw it, my lord. Edmund: And what is your name, little fellow? Baldrick: My name is Baldrick, my lord. Edmund: Then I shall call you... Baldrick. Baldrick: And I shall call you "my lord," my lord. Born to Be King [ edit ] [King Richard IV is about to set out on a crusade against the Turks] Richard IV : As the good Lord said: "Love thy neighbour as thyself, unless he's Turkish, in which case, kill the bastard!" Dougal McAngus: I hope life doesn't get too boring now you can't pass laws over Scotland. Edmund: [Laughs feebly then mutters under his breath] I wouldn't pass water over Scotland. King Richard IV : [to Edmund] Don't be mistaken about this appointment, Edward. I've always despised you. Edmund: Well, you are my father. I mean, you're biased. King Richard IV: You, compared to your beloved brother Harry, are as excrement as compared to cream! Harry: Oh, father, you flatter me! Edmund: And me, also! King Richard IV: So now, my boy, when I have at last found a use for you, don't try to get out of it! King Richard IV: [to Edmund] If I needed someone who believed in God, I'd have chosen Harry, not an embarrassing little weed like you. Messenger: My lord, good news! The Swiss have invaded France! King : Excellent! Wessex, while they're away, take ten thousand troops and pillage Geneva! Chiswick: But the Swiss are our allies, my lord. King: Oh, yes. [to Lord Wessex] Well, get them to dress up as Germans, would you? Chiswick, remind me to send flowers to the king of France in sympathy for the death of his son. Chiswick: The one you had murdered, my lord? King: [absentmindedly] Yes, yes, that's the fellow. King: Chiswick, take this to the Queen of Naples. [holds up an urn] Chiswick: What is it, my lord? King: The King of Naples! Witchsmeller Pursuivant [ edit ] Witchsmeller: [talking about ordeal by axe] The suspect has his head placed upon a block, and an axe aimed at his neck. If the man is guilty, the axe will bounce off his neck — so we burn him. If the man is not guilty, the axe will simply slice his head off. Percy : Look, look, I just can't take the pressure of all these omens any more! Edmund : Percy... Percy: No, no, really, I'm serious! Only this morning in the courtyard I saw a horse with two heads and two bodies! Edmund: Two horses standing next to each other? Percy: Yes, I suppose it could have been. Friar Bellows: Perhaps a motto for our enterprise? "Blessed are the meek..." [The rest grumble in disagreement.] Friar Bellows: "... for they shall be slaughtered!" [The rest cheer and rush for the door.] Edmund: But the plan! You've forgotten the plan! Sir Wilfred Death: I thought that was the plan! Sean, the Irish Bastard: Let'

An absolutely great episode - the best of Series 3! 31 October 2006 | by general-melchett (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews "Ink and Incapability" is great from the start. It is far funnier than "Dish and Dishonesty", and is intelligently written - Blackadder's sticky situations really make you feel part of the show. The idea to have an episode around Dr Johnson and his dictionary was an absolutely great one, and one that is brought well to the silver screen. The stupidity of Baldrick and Prince George is at its best here - them helping Blackadder rewrite the dictionary was bound to bring out their extreme thickness. Yes, it is predictable, and the ending should have been done slightly better, but this is a 10/10 episode all the way - I hugely enjoyed watching this, and never has a bad moment. This is the highlight of Series 3, and is a worthy one at that - it is historically accurate (well, in some aspects) and very funny. This is one of the greatest Blackadder episodes ever - no others in Series 3 will recapture its dizzy heights.

Which actor narrated ‘Blackadder’s Christmas Carol’, a one-off episode of UK television show ‘Blackadder’?

Blackadder's Christmas Carol Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 16 out of 19 people found the following review useful: Funny Anytime Of The Year from Isle Of Bute, Scotland 24 April 2003 Edmund Blackadder is one of the greatest characters British television has ever produced . He`s cruel , selfish and oh so cunning and it`s a bit of a shock to see him undergo a character change and be the kindest man in all of England . But don`t worry , in this reworking of Dickens A CHRISTMAS CAROL Blackadder soon turns into the anti hero we all know and hate This is a side splitting Christmas feast for fans of the BLACKADDER series and we get flashbacks to series two and three of the historical sit-com and a glimpse of how the show might have looked if it continued into the space age . To be honest I don`t think a science fiction version of BLACKADDER would have worked well but I did find the concept interesting and highly amusing at the same time . Don`t worry if you watch it in the height of summer , you`ll still find it funny Was the above review useful to you? 12 out of 14 people found the following review useful: hilarious! from United Kingdom 7 March 2005 A fantastic idea, this one. Take the old chestnut 'A Christmas Carol', give it a shake-up, and turn it on its head. Ebenezer Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson in fine form as ever) is a good guy, who gives away anything to anyone, and is truly chock-full of the Christmas spirit. Time for the Spirit of Christmas (a rip-roaring turn from Robbie Coltrane) to work his magic, invoke the spirits of Ebenezer's ancestors and descendants, and inform him of the errors of his ways. We're reminded of Blackadder's former incarnations, in Tudor and Regency times, and of the cunning plans and twists of the long-gone relatives. We meet again with the likes of Queenie (Miranda Richardson), Melchett (Stephen Fry), Nursie (Patsy Byrne), and Prince George (Hugh Laurie). And of course the Cratchit character - Baldrick, who else! - suffers more and more as the story unfolds. A scary turn from Miriam Margoyles and Jim Broadbent (Victoria and Albert), and a mind-boggling look into the distant future completes the transformation. Not shown often enough, this is a real plum-pudding of a piece.

Join us as we look in on kind-hearted Ebenezer Blackadder and his assistant Baldrick.

The gang is all here for this one, with all of our favorite haracters and actors back for the fun. The only bad part is Baldricks costume in the future. Boy, that'll give you nightmares on Christmas! If you're tired of false sentiment and prefer the Grinch before his heart grows, catch this one. Bah, humbug, indeed!

Anyone, allow me to rectify this. Blackadder's Christmas Carol has some of the funniest material of all the Blackadders. Set in Victorian times (Jim Broadbeat looks stunningly like Prince Albert), there's a neat turnabout this time - Ebenezer Blackadder is the nicest, most entirely selfless man in the whole of England! A visit from Robbie Coltrane, hilarious as the ghost of Christmas who decided to visit someone who's all ready nice for a change, shows Blackadder the naughty behaviour of some of his ancestors, not to mention the future. But Ebenezer draws the wrong conclusion. You can sense the relish in Rowan Atkinson's voice as he proclaims "Bad guys have all the fun!" - what he means is, playing bad guys is all the fun.

Which English county was represented by the ‘Nine children of honour’ at the coronation of King Henry VIII?

h2g2 - CORNWALL FACTS - 100 interesting facts about Kernow and the Cornish CORNWALL FACTS - 100 interesting facts about Kernow and the Cornish Created 1. Modern archaeology now admits that the Cornish and Welsh of today are the remnants of an ancient race native to these islands since at least the Neolithic period, between 4,000 and 6,000 years ago. 2. Cornwall was originally part of the kingdom of Dumnonia that may well predate the Roman occupation. 3. Cornwall is an older nation than England and one of the oldest Duchies in Europe. 4. In 936 the English King Athelstan fixed the boundary between England and Cornwall as the east bank of the river Tamar. 5. There is no mention in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles that Cornwall was ever conquered by the English or absorbed into Wessex. 6. No record exists of any formal annexation of Cornwall to England. 7. Cornwall’s continued independence is strongly supported by the fact that it has enjoyed a special status, as Earldom and Duchy. 8. Many treaty's and documents up until the 18th century made reference to there being a distinction between Anglia and Cornubia and maps of the British Isles produced up until the 18th century often showed Cornwall as a distinct entity on a par with Wales. 9. The Cornish had and arguably continue to have a perceived national identity other than English. 10. Cornwall and the Cornish have had an identity distinct form the English for centuries as is evidenced by the existence of the Cornish language as a mother tongue up until the late 18th or early 19th century and the subsequent successful revival of said language in the 20th century. The language exits in our First, Familial and Place names. 11. Constitutionally the nature of Cornwall and its description of being a county of England are disputed - if correct these arguments would indicate a de jure status for Cornwall as a Duchy and a crown dependency not a county of England. 12. Cornwall was portrayed on numerous maps, including the famous Mappa Mundi, as separate from England right up until the mid 16th century and Henry VIII even listed England and Cornwall separately in the list of his realms given in his coronation address. 13. During the 1549 Anglo-Cornish war, English and foreign mercenaries killed 4,000 Cornish fighters before moving into Cornwall and in total slaughtered up to 11% of its population before the butchery was stopped - with families deprived of their menfolk and livelihoods, the true figure of deaths caused by this barbaric crime accounted for 20% of the Cornish population. 14. Cornwall was not party to the Act of Union in 1707. 15. Cornwall's legal right to its own Parliament has existed for over 800 years - the right was confirmed and strengthened by the Charter of Pardon 1508, which added to its rights that of veto over acts, statutes, laws, etc., passed by the Westminster government - these rights were granted in perpetuity and cannot be lawfully rescinded. 16. Cornwall's right to its own sovereign Parliament, and the powers it processes under the Charter of Pardon were confirmed as valid in British law by the then Lord Chancellor, Lord Elwyn Jones in 1977. 17. In British law - a law that has been continually ignored and breached by England - no officer or agent of the Crown (this would include both Westminster and the Anglican Church) can legally set foot upon Cornish soil without the express and joint permissions of the Duke of Cornwall and Cornwall's Stannary Parliament. 18. Cornwall was successfully described as a Duchy in the Cornish Foreshore Case of 1856 and also that the Duke of Cornwall is the head of state, not the UK monarch. 19. In the notable 1856 Duchy of Cornwall v the Crown case it was confirmed by the Attorney General to the Duchy, Sir George Harrison, that Cornwall was, in law, a Palatine State , extra-territorial to the English Crown and whose quasi-sovereign is the Duke of Cornwall; that during the Kingdom, Earldom and Duchy, Cornwall had always been treated as distinct from England; and that its eastern boundary confirmed that set up in 931 AD, that is,


In humans, Daltonism is better known by what name?

Definition of Daltonism Definition of Daltonism Causes of a Heart Attack Slideshow Daltonism: Colorblindness of the red-green type (also known as deuteranopia or deuteranomaly). The term "Daltonism" is derived from the name of the chemist and physicist, John Dalton (1766-1844). Dalton was born in a village in Cumberland, England where his father, Joseph, was a weaver in poor circumstances. He was educated by his father and John Fletcher, teacher in a Quaker school. When Fletcher retired in 1778, Dalton took his place. In 1793 he was appointed teacher of mathematics and natural philosophy at New College in Manchester. In 1803 he put forth the facts embodied in his law of partial pressures: the pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures which would be exerted separately by the several constituents if each alone were present. Dalton's reputation largely rests upon his great Atomic Theory. It was said of Dalton that "into society he rarely went, and his only amusement was a game of bowls on Thursday afternoons." Dalton described his and his brother's affliction of colorblindness with defective perception of red and green in the first scientific paper he published. It was entitled "Extraordinary facts relating to the vision of colours, with observation" (Mem Literary Philos Soc Manchester 5: 28-45, 1798). It is the first recognized account of red-green colorblindness . Last Editorial Review: 5/13/2016

Who plays Detective Inspector Dave Creegan in the UK television series ‘Touching Evil’?

Touching Evil Interview Archive Robson Green believes a good runner beats a good fighter, and he would reject any script which displayed violence graphically on screen. "Touching Evil is different to any other crime drama because everything is left to the viewers' imaginations, which is essentially more horrific than if you see it," says Robson, who plays Detective Inspector Dave Creegan of the elite crime squad, the Organised and Serial Crime Unit. "If there had been scenes in Touching Evil where you see people being stabbed, or you see my character killing people I would not have made the series. "There is not an aggressive streak in me. I wouldn't get involved in a situation where violence is involved. It takes more of a man to walk away from a situation. I was brought up to believe that a good runner beats a good fighter. My dad was a tough man in our village, he was a very good wrestler. He taught my brother and I how to look after ourselves with different moves, but only as defence. I think it is better to be loved than feared." Playing DI Creegan in the first series of Touching Evil, screened last year, marked a major change in the roles Robson had been playing. The character's cruel scar on the forehead and furrowed brow replaced the trademark cheeky grin which made Robson so popular with audiences for his roles in Soldier Soldier, Reckless and Casualty. "Touching Evil gave me the chance to get away from the clown image audiences associated me with. If you are seen as a comic, people expect you to be funny. But if a comedian doesn't break the mould of trying to be funny all the time, then the horizons become very bleak," says Robson. "Creegan is not at all conventional. He is an honest cop, who lives for justice. He had a near death experience which made him alter his outlook on life. In this second series Creegan is more at ease with his fellow officers, so it is not so much one guy pulling the show. But he does have to start making decisions about the way he leads his life." The series attracted a good response from men as well as women. "The reaction I got from Touching Evil was the most positive I have ever had. I've always believed that a good story will hold anybody, no matter what their sex. Men watched it because it was good story telling, I hope women don't watch a programme just because I am in it. For me the real critics are my dad and the friends who drink with me in the local pub. They told me it made them think. It is a drama which makes you debate in your own mind the whole issue of retribution." Robson admits that the grisly subject matter of the series can be depressing. "It is depressing to think that there are people who only feel a sense of power by murdering, and the worst thing is that even now somebody is contemplating murder. But what I did learn from making these two series is that the people we are dealing with in these stories are not just nutters, but they have been through terrible trauma." Robson said he sought help from his wife Ali, an occupational therapist, in understanding one storyline, about a man, suffering post traumatic stress disorder after working in Bosnia. "I talked with Ali about trauma, and people who have suffered it. She found me a book about counselling, and how to deal with people who have gone through trauma, read the scripts with me, and helped me with some of Creegan's lines." Robson recalls meeting a man when he was making Soldier Soldier, who had witnessed terrible atrocities in Bosnia. "It is interesting to speak to people who have seen terrible things, you can see it in their eyes, something has died. I met one soldier who went to Bosnia. Before he went that man was a real cocky, jack-the-lad type, I saw him six months after he got back and it had completely silenced him." In the new series Robson's character faces a personal crisis. The lives of his ex-wife and two little girls are threatened by a man who blames Creegan for the murder of his daughter. "Creegan realises that because of his work not only is he a target, but everyone associated with him is a


Secret Island, a former gunpowder mill, is situated in which English county?

Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker - Essex Ghost Hunters Haunted Places Our Recommendations Below you’ll find haunted places in and around around Essex with history about their spiritual activity. In most places we’ve visited, we’ve heard noises, seen orbs and sometimes even experienced physical contact or objects being moved. We often run ghost hunting events at some of the most haunted places throughout the UK. If you'd like more information visit our events page . Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker The Secret Nuclear Bunker at Kelvedon Hatch, in the Borough of Brentwood in the English county of Essex, is a large underground bunker maintained during the cold war as a potential regional government headquarters. Since being decommissioned in 1992, the bunker has been open to the public as a tourist attraction, with a museum focusing on its cold war history. Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker was built as an RAF Rotor Station, then it became a civil defence centre and finally a Regional Government HQ. It was designed to allow up to 600 people survive the aftermath of a nuclear war, but thankfully it has never been used as a emergency nuclear bunker. Since becoming a museum, Kelvedon Hatch Nuclear Bunker has become notorious as a haunted location, appearing on Living TV’s ‘Most Haunted’ as well as other programmes and has been the focus of many paranormal investigations. There is a story that during the construction of the bunker’s walls (10ft wide and 100ft deep), concrete was being poured day and night. One morning the day shift found the foreman’s hat floating on the wet concrete and the man in question nowhere to be found and never to be seen again. Several apparitions roam the complex, including a grey figure who moves from room to room. Witnesses have described it as taking the form of an ‘unusually tall elderly lady’. As well as an RAF officer who has been spotted on several occasions, more than one person has had the frightening experience of meeting with a woman in uniform who angrily instructs them to leave the building. A similar experience has also been reported by a visitor walking through the dormitory, he was told to ‘go back’ by a disembodied voice, but there was no-one else in the area. The main paranormal hotspot is the sick bay, which contained many cardboard coffins (easier to store, they fold up). Dark shadows are often seen flitting back and forth. Mediums have reported a malevolent presence which may be responsible for the feelings of dread and foreboding which many people experience whist in this area. Such negative forces exist in the bunker, especially the sick bay, which is presumed to originate way before the bunker was built. Stones have been reported to be thrown at people, loud crashed and bangs have been heard from empty rooms at night. Odd lights and mists have been seen to materialise from thin air and foul smells have been reported on many ghost hunts, all of which are unexplainable.

Mary Lennox, Colin and Dickon are all characters in which children’s novel?

SparkNotes: The Secret Garden: Character List The Secret Garden Plot Overview Character Analysis Mary Lennox  -  One of the novel's two protagonists, Mary Lennox is a ten-year-old girl who, after the death of her parents in India, is sent to live with her uncle in Yorkshire, England. Mary changes drastically over the course of The Secret Garden: she evolves from a spoiled, unloved and unloving creature to a girl who is full of spirit and surrounded by friends. She begins the book as its central character, but is later displaced by Colin. Read an in-depth analysis of Mary Lennox. Colin Craven  -  The other of the novel's protagonists, Colin Craven is Archibald Craven's ten-year-old son and heir. He was born shortly after the death of his mother, and his father could not bear to look at him because of his resemblance to her. It is feared that he will grow to be a hunchback like his father, and he has been treated as an invalid since his birth. Colin's childhood has been entirely bedridden, and his servants have been commanded to obey his every whim. As a result, Colin is extremely imperious and gloomy; when we first meet him, he is certain he is going to die. By novel's end, however, he too will have undergone a transformation: he will have become a vigorous optimist, and will have won his father's love. Both his and Mary's conversions are effected by the magical properties inherent in the secret garden. Read an in-depth analysis of Colin Craven. Dickon Sowerby  -  Dickon is alternately described as "a common moor boy" and "a Yorkshire angel"; he is both. Two years older than Colin and Mary, Dickon has lived on Missel Moor his entire life, and has a uniquely intimate relationship with the land. He is described as looking like the god Pan (the god of ...): he has rosy cheeks, rough curly hair, and blue eyes precisely the same color as the sky over the moor; he even carries a set of pan-pipes. Like Pan, he has the power to charm both animals and people: all the creatures who come close to him are instantly tamed, and he counts a fox, a crow, and two wild squirrels among his pets. His power to tame creatures works on Colin and Mary as well, and is one of the central causes of their wondrous transformations. He is the brother of Martha and the son of Susan. Read an in-depth analysis of Dickon Sowerby. Martha Sowerby  -  Mary's friend and maidservant, Martha is distinguished by her charming frankness and levelheaded approach to all aspects of life. Her simplicity and kindness are a great help to Mary upon the latter's arrival at Misselthwaite. In her very ordinariness, Martha represents the goodness of all the people of Yorkshire. Ben Weatherstaff  -  Ben Weatherstaff is a gruff elderly gardener who is only permitted to stay at Misselthwaite because he was a favorite of the late Mistress Craven. He introduces Mary to the robin redbreast, and helps the children keep the secret of the garden. Ben himself clandestinely tended the garden during the ten years in which it was locked, out of love and loyalty for the Mistress Craven. Although he is rather rough, Ben's essential kindness is fundamental to his character. Archibald Craven  -  The master of Misselthwaite Manor, who suffers from a crooked spine and general ill health. He has been in a crushing depression ever since the death of his wife, ten years before the novel begins. Archibald spends most of his time abroad, since he wants to see neither his house nor his son, Colin, because these remind him of his late wife. At novel's end, he undergoes a change of heart after his wife comes to him in a dream. Master Craven comes to embrace his son when he realizes that this latter is in perfect health. Lilias Craven  -  Archibald's late wife, who died ten years before the outset of the novel. Her spirit is associated with both roses and the secret garden. Her portrait hangs in her son's room beneath a rose-colored curtain, and she is described by all who knew her as the gentlest, sweetest, and most beautiful of women. She represents an absent ideal. Susan Sowerby  -  The mother of Ma


‘International ‘what’ is the official colour of the paint on the Golden Gate Bridge in California?

Why the International Orange Color? What is the Color Formula? Click here to listen to Kevin Starr talk about Golden Gate Bridge Consulting Architect Irving Morrow’s selection of the International Orange color. When the steel for the Golden Gate Bridge was fabricated by Bethlehem Steel at its foundries in PA and NJ, the steel was coated with a red lead primer. As the bridge towers began to rise for the Golden Gate Bridge, consulting architect Irving F. Morrow was commuting to the construction site from his home in the East Bay via ferry. He became inspired by the red lead color. Morrow undertook color studies, which resulted in the specification of the unique Golden Gate Bridge International Orange because it blended well with the nearby hills and contrasted with the ocean and sky. Morrow recognized very clearly that the Bridge color was a very important influence on its appearance in relationship to its surroundings. As the Bridge stands today, the color blends perfectly with the changing season tints of the spans’ natural setting against the San Francisco skyline and the Marin hills. Morrow concluded, “The effect of International Orange is as highly pleasing as it is unusual in the realm of engineering.” The color dubbed “International Orange” existed before the Bridge (and still exists) and is a color used in the aerospace industry to set things apart from their surroundings, similar to safety orange, but deeper and with a more reddish tone. You can see this, the “other” International Orange color here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_orange The Golden Gate Bridge is painted Golden Gate Bridge International Orange which was selected by Consulting Architect Irving F. Morrow. In his April 1935 Report on Color and Lighting , Morrow defined the approach to the color section, “Preliminary to discussion of particular colors, a decision must be made on a matter of policy – is it desired to emphasize the bridge as an important feature of the landscape, or to make it as inconspicuous as possible.” The final color was inspired by studies undertaken by Morrow in cooperation with other architects, engineers, painters, sculptors, and others. Morrow also included black, grey, and aluminum in the studies, ruling each out for a range of reasons. Black would be unattractive and would reduce the scale of the bridge more than any other color. Proponents for the aluminum color reported that this color would give beauty as the beauty of a dirigible aircraft. Morrow rejected it as the towers would be deprived of substance and made tiny. Battleship grey and warm grey were studied. Warm grey was named as the distant second to orange vermillion. Italian American sculptor Beniamino Benvenuto Bufano submitted his comments to Morrow, “ I have been watching very closely the progress of the towers on the Golden Gate Bridge in its structural beauty its engineering and architectural simplicity – and of course its color that moves and molds itself into the great beauty and contours of the hill – let me hope that the color will remain the red terracotta because it adds to the structural grace and because it adds to the great beauty and the colorful symphony of the hills—and it is because of this structural simplicity that carries to you my message of admiration.”   Color Formula The Golden Gate Bridge International Orange color is mixed to our requirements. The Bridge has maintained our formula for GGB International Orange through the years. Our requirements are in no way proprietary, anyone can formulate and use the color – in fact we provide the color percentages on the website. What passes for International Orange is going to vary by manufacturer or standard of which there are many. When purchasing paint for the Golden Gate Bridge, it is done through a competitive bidding process. Currently, the paint is supplied by Sherwin Williams and is made to match the GGB International Orange color formula. For compliance purposes we use ASTM D 2244 – Standard Practice for Calculation of Color Tolerances and Color Differences from Instrumental


In the game of chess which move is also known as ‘Fool’s Mate’?

Fool's Mate - Chess.com Chess.com 68,174 Reads 616 Comments Fool's mate, also known as the "two-move checkmate," is the quickest possible checkmate in the game of chess. One example consists of the moves leading to the position shown... There are eight slight variations on the pattern — White might play f2-f4 instead of f2-f3 or move the g-pawn before the f-pawn, and Black may play e7-e6 instead of e7-e5. The fool's mate received its name because it can only occur if White plays extraordinarily weakly, i.e. like a fool. Even among rank beginners, the mate almost never occurs in practice. The same basic mating pattern may also occur later in the game. There is, for instance, a well-known trap in the Dutch Defence which occurred in 1896 between Frank Melville Teed and Eugene Delmar that runs 1.d4 f5 2.Bg5 h6 3.Bf4 g5 4.Bg3 f4; it seems that Black has won the bishop, but now comes 5.e3 (threatening Qh5#, the basic Fool's mate idea) 5...h5 6.Bd3?! (6.Be2 is probably better, but this move sets a trap) 6...Rh6? (defending against Bg6#, but...) 7.Qxh5+! Rxh5 8.Bg6#... A similar mate can occur in From's gambit (Bird's opening) 1. f4 e5 2. g3 exf4 3. gxf4?? Qh4#... More generally, the term fool's mate is applied to all similar mates early in the game; for example, 1.e4 g5 2.d4 f6 3.Qh5# The pattern of the simplest fool's mate is maintained: a player advances his f- and g-pawns, allowing a queen mate along the unblocked diagonal. One such fool's mate is widely reported to have occurred in a possibly apocryphal 1959 game between Masefield (or Mayfield, depending on the source consulted) and Trinka (or Trinks or Trent) which lasted just three moves: 1.e4 g5 2.Nc3 f5 3.Qh5# (variants on these moves also exist). Even more generally, the term "Fool's mate" is used in chess variants for the shortest possible mate, especially those which bear a resemblance to the orthodox chess fool's mate. Fool's mate in progressive chess, for example, is 1.e4 f6 2. Nc3 g5 3. Qh5#

Blinker, Fountain, Rocket and Cake are all types of what?

Fireworks Glossary Fireworks Glossary A handy A-Z guide to the various firework related terms and what they mean.   A ADR: The provisions which came into effect on 1st January 2003 concerning the international carriage of dangerous goods (including fireworks). In layman’s terms the amount of fireworks you can carry in a vehicle is limited by their type, the vehicle, and whether the driver has been formally trained to transport them. The restrictions mainly apply to professional (commercial) displayers and their fireworks. See also DTR. AERIAL SHELL: Typically the Category 4 firework used only by professionals. An aerial effect enclosed in a paper or card “shell” and launched from a mortar tube by a lifting charge (also contained in the shell). Effects vary from plain bangs (maroons) to expansive and pretty colours or multiple effects. Responsible for most of the quality aerial effects seen in a professional display. AIRBOMB: Any shell effect launched from a firework that bangs, normally loudly. Also the general name given to the small tubular fireworks that launch this effect, formerly a common firework in garden displays capable of quite a loud bang and sometimes with a glowing star effect on ascension. Now a banned firework. AIRBOMB BARRAGE: Multiple airbombs fused together into one firework, the advantage being you only light one fuse to let the barrage off and it normally works out cheaper “per bang” than buying singly. AQUA SHELL: A shell designed to be launched across, and break on, water.   B BALL ROCKET: Popular style of rocket which mimics an aerial shell “on a stick”. Generally, but not always, gives a bigger and louder effect than a standard plastic head rocket. BANG: What most fireworks do. The “technical” term for a bang in firework circles is “report”. In consumer fireworks there is now a noise limit of 120db which was brought in through new regulations. It has helped to protect small furry animals and old ladies up and down the country. BANGER: Now banned, a small tubular firework that simply banged, in effect an airbomb that stayed on the ground. Cheap and misused, it was a major cause of injuries until banned from sale to the public. Today, any firework that bangs is quite often erroneously described as a “banger” by the press or public who are unaware of the various correct firework terms. More info . BARRAGE: A continual and concentrated assault of firework effects, or the general name given to a firework that launches such an effect. BATTERY: Several fireworks (e.g. candles) fused together for added effect, with a single fuse to light. BEES: A swarm or cluster of points of light that move and dissipate under their own power. Similar to FISH, but less vigorous and generally less persistent. BENGAL FLARE: See FLARE. BFA / BRITISH FIREWORKS ASSOCIATION: An association of UK firework companies who import fireworks working together to address problems concerning noise, illegal fireworks and so on, and to promote the safer use and sale of fireworks. BLACK MATCH: This is the fast burning fuse used extensively in a professional display. It is also found inside some consumer fireworks such as candle fans and set pieces. BLINKER: A small ground based firework that strobes (flashes). BLOCKBUSTER: A popular and long-running shell effect candle by Vulcan which became the standard against which most 28-30mm candles have been judged in the noughties. Largely superceeded in recent years by better and cheaper alternatives in cakes. BLOSSOM: A pretty or colourful effect likened to a flower, or an effect that opens up and expands, like a flower blossoming. BOMBETTE: A shell effect within a cake or candle, launched by a lifting charge. Can contain a variety of effects. BONFIRE: Traditional on Guy Fawkes but don’t feel obliged to have one! Turn them over before lighting (animals nesting!). BONFIRE SOCIETY: Traditional English society which organises bonfires, displays and meetings. Many do this for charitable reasons. BOUQUET: A number of fireworks (normally candles) fused together, lighting one fuse sets them all off for


On a regular clockface, which number lies opposite 5?

Telling Time and Reading Clock Hands | Wyzant Resources Resources / Lessons / Math / Elementary Math / Telling Time Telling Time Being able to tell and work with time is a very valuable skill. In order to tell       time, there are several key points to remember. We measure time in seconds, minutes,       hours, days, weeks, months, and years. On a clock, we measure time in hours and       minutes (and sometimes seconds). On a calendar, we measure time in days, weeks,       months, and years. This section will go through telling time on a clock—using minutes       and hours. In order to work with minutes and hours, you must remember that there       are 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour. There are 24 hours in one       day. Parts of a Clock A clock is a device used to tell time. Clocks measure time in hours and minutes,       and have an hour hand (that moves forward one clock number every hour) and a minute       hand (that moves forward one tick every minute—it moves forward one clock number       every 5 minutes). A clock is split up into 12 sections, and each section is worth       5 minutes (because 5 x 12 = 60, and there are 60 minutes in an hour). One complete       trip around the clock by the minute hand means that one hour has passed. When you       read a clock, you look at the hour hand first, and then you look at the minute hand.       The hour hand is shorter, and the minute hand is longer—this is how you tell them       apart. A normal clock looks like this: The blue numbers are standard on all clocks—these are clock numbers. You will not       see the orange numbers on normal clocks the way they are on the outside of this       clock, but these are the minute marks—thus, every 1 clock number is equal to 5 minutes.       It can be even further broken down like this: Now, you can see that the orange numbers on the outside count from 1 to 60. These       numbers represent each minute of an hour. Now, we’ll add in the hour and minute hands. Remember, the hour hand is shorter,         and the minute hand is longer. We’re going to set our clock to say 1 o’clock. Notice that our clock hands have arrows—some clocks have hands with arrows, and       others do not. We will show ours with arrows. Reading a Clock Reading a clock takes practice, but after you learn how, it’s very easy to do! First,       you’re going to locate the hour hand. The hour hand is the shorter of the two clock       hands. It moves from one clock number to the next every hour, and it makes one complete       rotation around the clock every 12 hours (since there are 12 clock numbers on each       clock). Look at which clock number the hour hand is pointing to. That is the number       you will use for the hour. Many times, the arrow will not be pointing exactly at       the number; in that case, you would look at which number it was at most recently.       For example, if the hour hand is half way between the 2 and the 3, you would use       2 as the hour number. The only way you can use a specific number for the hour number       is if it has already passed the number in its rotation around the clock. So, even       if the hour hand is very close to the 3, you would still say 2 unless the hand has       reached, or passed, the 3. Here’s an example of what we mean: Here, you can see that the hour hand is a little more than half way between the       1 and the 2. Even though it is closer to the 2, we would still say that 1 is our       hour number because the hour hand has not passed 2 yet. Now let’s talk about the minute hand. The minute hand is the longer of the two hands.       It points to the minutes that have passed since a new hour began. It makes one rotation       around the clock every hour. If the minute hand is pointing to a clock number, that       means the number of minutes is a multiple of 5


A Biggin is a type of pot used for making what?

Brewing Techniques 3.16 A final note on brewing techniques 3.1 Proper extraction  times As a general rule, extraction time is directly proportional to grind coarseness.  That is, the smaller the coffee particles, the shorter the extraction time should  be. French press coffee generally has the longest extraction times, with coffee/water  contact lasting as long as four minutes; the grind is, therefore, about the  coarsest used. For those who prefer using a somewhat finer grind for this brewing  method, the steeping period should be shortened. Espresso has the shortest contact  time, about twenty-five seconds, so the particle size is among the smallest. Most of the desirable flavors—and the caffeine—are extracted first.  If the coffee is allowed to remain in contact with the water for too long for  its particle size, additional compounds start to extract and these will make  the coffee taste bitter. Similarly, if your particle size is disproportionately  large for your extraction time, only a small quantity of the desirable compounds  will be extracted, so the coffee will be underextracted and lacking in flavor  (which is not the same as weak ). 3.2 A note on filtration versus  percolation William Ukers' treatise "All About Coffee" notes that "true" percolation refers to dripping through "fine interstices of china or metal," while in filtration the dripping occurs through a porous substance such as paper  or cloth. As a result, much of the current nomenclature is technically incorrect.  However, the popular conceptualization of "percolation" now refers  to a particular brewing device that may use either metal or paper filters; see section 3.9 . Similarly, many drip devices use metal  filters. 3.3 Drip Most of the coffee consumed in the United States is produced via some  variant of the drip method: hot water is poured over medium-grind coffee contained  within a filter; the water steeps and drips through, yielding coffee. The only  impediment to the water's passage is resistance from the ground coffee and the  filter. There are many variations on drip brewers' appearance and specific functionality;  this FAQ will describe the more common ones. 3.3.1 Chemex® brewers Invented in 1941, the Chemex® brewer resemble an hourglass and has a distinct "science lab" appearance—not  surprising, considering that it was invented by a chemist, Dr. Peter J. Schlumbohm,  who combined a heavily modified glass funnel and an Erlenmeyer flask. Special  paper filters are placed in the upper section; these filters, different than  standard paper filters, are quite thick and manage to trap sediment while passing  a large portion of the aromatic compounds. The filter is filled with medium-  to coarse-grind coffee, a small amount of the brewing water is poured over the  grounds, just enough to wet them, then the rest of the hot water is poured.  If the filter cannot hold all of the brewing water, stop pouring until the level  drops (as the brewed coffee drips out), then continue to add the water. Due to the thickness of the filters, you may find that a grind suitable for  a standard paper filter is too fine for a Chemex® filter. Chemex® is a trademarked term, and therefore does not refer to a generic  style of brewer. 3.3.2 One-cup brewers These are exactly that: they are small enough to fit onto a coffee  mug, and brew one cup of coffee at a time. Some come with inserts that fit on  top of and into the filter; these inserts have small perforations on their bottoms,  and serve to regulate the flow of water dripping onto the coffee. These brewers  often use metal filters, integrated into the unit as a whole. A few of these  devices are made out of ceramic, while others are plastic; they esemble the  filter basket section of auto-drip machines. Distinguish from 3.3.3 filtercone  holders . 3.3.3 Filtercone holders Similar to the one-cup brewers, but they make larger quantities, dispensing  the coffee directly into thermally insulated containers.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne: BIOGRAPHY / AUTHOR'S WORKS / HISTORICAL INFORMATION 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA: SYNOPSIS / PLOT ANALYSIS Jules Verne - BIOGRAPHY Adapted from ï¿½A Chronology of Jules Verneï¿½ in William Butcherï¿½s     1998 translation. Jules Verne is an immensely important and prolific French writer. Along     with H.G. Wells, he is responsible for the founding of science-fiction     writing. Jules Verne was born on 8 February 1828 in Nantes, France. His     father was a successful lawyer, from a family of many lawyers and his     mother was from a military family. Jules was the oldest of five children;     he had one brother and three sisters. In school he did very well in geography and wrote fiction and poetry     frequently. He moved to Paris to study law, and became engaged to his     cousin, Caroline Thompson--although, they never married. During this time     he befriended playwright Alexander Dumas and began writing plays, such     as Alexander VI and La Conspiration des poudres. He continued     to write and produce plays. He passed the law exam. In 1857 he married Honorine de Viane and became a stockbroker in Paris.     In 1861 his only child, Michel, was born. In 1870, Verne became a member     of the coast guard in the French military during the Franco-Prussian War.     Verne became very interested in geology and engineering. He spent many     hours reading books on these subjects and incorporated his knowledge into     many of his books. Verneï¿½s writing career was very successful and he was able to make an     excellent living. As his books increased in popularity, he bought a yacht     and sailed frequently. On 17 March 1905, Verne died from complications     with diabetes. His many works include: 1863. Cinq Semaines en Ballon (Five Weeks in a Balloon) 1863.

Which Roman martyr, who made a promise to God never to stain her purity, is the patron saint of chastity?

Saint Agnes Saint Agnes Feast Day: January 21 Saint Agnes: Patron Saint of purity, of the children of Mary, of young girls "Christ made my soul beautiful with the jewels of grace and virtue. I belong to Him whom the angels serve." - Saint Agnes Profile St. Agnes was a Roman girl who was only thirteen years old when she suffered martyrdom for her Faith. Agnes had made a promise, a promise to God never to stain her purity. Her love for the Lord was very great and she hated sin even more than death! Since she was very beautiful, many young men wished to marry Agnes, but she would always say, "Jesus Christ is my only Spouse." Procop, the Governor's son, became very angry when she refused him. He had tried to win her for his wife with rich gifts and promises, but the beautiful young girl kept saying, "I am already promised to the Lord of the Universe. He is more splendid than the sun and the stars, and He has said He will never leave me!" In great anger, Procop accused her of being a Christian and brought her to his father, the Governor. The Governor promised Agnes wonderful gifts if she would only deny God, but Agnes refused. He tried to change her mind by putting her in chains, but her lovely face shone with joy. Next he sent her to a place of sin, but an Angel protected her. At last, she was condemned to death. Even the pagans cried to see such a young and beautiful girl going to death. Yet, Agnes was as happy as a bride on her wedding day. She did not pay attention to those who begged her to save herself. "I would offend my Spouse," she said, "if I were to try to please you. He chose me first and He shall have me!" Then she prayed and bowed her head for the death-stroke of the sword. [The following relation is taken from Prudentius, de Coron. hym. 14, St. Ambrose, lib. i. de Virgin and Offic. lib. i. c. 41, and other fathers. Her acts are as ancient as the seventh century but not sufficiently authentic; nor are those given us in Chaldaic by Stephen Assemani of a better stamp; they contradict St. Ambrose and Prudentius in supposing that she finished her martyrdom by fire. See Tillemont, t. v.]     ST JEROME says[1] that the tongues and pens of all nations are employed in the praises of this saint, who overcame both the cruelty of the tyrant and the tenderness of her age, and crowned the glory of chastity with that of martyrdom. St. Austin observes[2] that her name signifies chaste in Greek, and a lamb in Latin. She has always been looked upon in the church as a special patroness of purity, with the Immaculate Mother of God and St. Thecla. Rome was the theatre of the triumph of St. Agnes; and Prudentius says that her tomb was shown within sight of that city. She suffered not long after the beginning of the persecution of Diocletian, whose bloody edicts appeared in March, in the year of our Lord 303. We learn from St. Ambrose and St. Austin that she was only thirteen years of age at the time of her glorious death. Her riches and beauty excited the young noblemen of the first families in Rome to vie with one another in their addresses who should gain her in marriage.[3] Agnes answered them all that she had consecrated her virginity to a heavenly spouse, who could not be beheld by mortal eyes. Her suitors, finding her resolution impregnable to all their arts and importunities, accused her to the governor as a Christian, not doubting but threats and torments would overcome her tender mind, on which allurements could make no impression. The judge at first employed the mildest expression and most inviting promises, to which Agnes paid no regard, repeating always that she could have no other spouse than Jesus Christ. He then made use of threats, but found her soul endowed with a masculine courage, and even desirous of racks and death. At last terrible fires were made, and iron hooks, racks, and other instruments of torture, displayed before her, with threats of immediate execution. The young virgin surveyed them all with an undaunted eye, and with a cheerful countenance beheld t

What is the surname of Woody, the assistant bartender, in the US television comedy series ‘Cheers’?

Learn and talk about Cheers, 1980s American comedy television series, 1982 American television series debuts, 1990s American comedy television series, 1993 American television series endings The Tortellis (1987) Cheers is an American sitcom that ran for eleven seasons between 1982 and 1993. The show was produced by Charles/Burrows/Charles Productions in association with Paramount Network Television for NBC and created by the team of James Burrows , Glen Charles , and Les Charles . The show is set in a bar named Cheers in Boston , Massachusetts , where a group of locals meet to drink, relax, and socialize. The show's main theme song, written and performed by Gary Portnoy lent its famous refrain " Where Everybody Knows Your Name " as the show's tagline . [1] After premiering on September 30, 1982, it was nearly canceled during its first season when it ranked almost last in ratings for its premiere (74th out of 77 shows). Cheers, however, eventually became a highly rated television show in the United States, earning a top-ten rating during eight of its eleven seasons, including one season at number one. The show spent most of its run on NBC's Thursday night " Must See TV " lineup. Its widely watched series finale was broadcast on May 20, 1993, and the show's 270 episodes have been successfully syndicated worldwide. Nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series for all eleven of its seasons on the air, it earned 28 Primetime Emmy Awards from a record of 117 nominations. The character Frasier Crane ( Kelsey Grammer ) was featured in his eponymous spin-off show , which aired until 2004 and included guest appearances by virtually all of the major and minor Cheers characters. During its run, Cheers became one of the most popular series of all time and has received critical acclaim. In 1997, the episodes " Thanksgiving Orphans " and " Home Is the Sailor ", aired originally in 1987, were respectively ranked No. 7 and No. 45 on TV Guide's 100 Greatest Episodes of All-Time . [2] In 2002, Cheers was ranked No. 18 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time . [3] In 2013, the Writers Guild of America ranked it as the eighth best written TV series [4] and TV Guide ranked it #11 on their list of the 60 Greatest Shows of All Time. [5] Contents Characters[ edit ] Before the Cheers pilot " Give Me a Ring Sometime " was completed and aired in 1982, the series originally consisted of four employees in the first script. [6] Neither Norm Peterson nor Cliff Clavin , regular customers of Cheers, were featured; later revisions added them as among the regular characters of the series. [7] In later years, Woody Boyd replaces Coach, who dies off-screen in season four (1985–86) to account for actor Nicholas Colasanto 's real life passing. Frasier Crane starts as a recurring character and becomes a permanent character. In season six (1987–88) Rebecca Howe replaces Diane Chambers , who was written out of the show after the finale of the previous season (1986–87). Lilith Sternin starts as a one-time character in an episode of season four, "Second Time Around" (1985). After she appears in two episodes in season five, she becomes a recurring character, and later featured as a permanent one for season ten (1991–92). Original main characters[ edit ] Cast of seasons one through three: left to right: (top) Shelley Long , Ted Danson ; (middle) Rhea Perlman , Nicholas Colasanto ; (bottom) George Wendt , John Ratzenberger Ted Danson portrays Sam Malone , a bartender and an owner of Cheers. Sam is also a lothario . Before the series began, he was a baseball relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox nicknamed "Mayday Malone" until he became an alcoholic , harming his career. He has an on-again, off-again relationship with Diane Chambers , his class opposite, in the first five seasons (1982–1987). During their off-times, Sam has flings with many not-so-bright "sexy women", [8] yet fails to pursue a meaningful relationship [8] and fails to seduce other women, such as intellectuals. After Diane is written out of the series, he tries to pursue Rebecca Howe, with varying resu


Craniates - Crainata - The Animal Encyclopedia By Laura Klappenbach Updated August 09, 2016. Craniates (Craniata) are a group of chordates that includes hagfish, lampreys, and jawed vertebrates such as amphibians , birds, reptiles, mammals, and fishes. Craniates are best described as chordates that have a braincase (also called a cranium or a skull), mandible (jawbone) and other facial bones. Craniates do not include simpler chordates such as lancelets and tunicates. Some craniates are aquatic and have gill slits, unlike the more primitive lancelets which have pharyngeal slits instead. Among craniates, the most primitive are the hagfishes. Hagfishes do not have a bony skull. Instead their skull is made up of cartilage, a strong but flexible substance that consists of the protein keratin. Hagfishes are the only living animal that have a skull but lack a backbone or vertebral column. The first known craniates were marine animals that evolved about 480 million years ago. These early craniates are thought to have diverged from lancelets. continue reading below our video Test Your General Science Knowledge As embryos, craniates have a unique tissue called the neural crest. The neural crest develops into a variety of structures in the adult animal such as nerve cells, ganglia, some endocrine glands, skeletal tissue, and connective tissue of the skull. Craniates, like all chordates, develop a notochord that is present in hagfishes and lampreys but which disappears in most vertebrates where it is replaced by the vertebral column. All craniates have an internal skeleton, also called an endoskeleton. The endoskeleton is made up of either cartilage or calcified bone. All craniates have a circulatory system that consists of arteries, capillaries and veins. They also have a chambered heart (in vertebrates the circulatory system is closed) and a pancreas and paired kidneys. In craniates, the digestive tract consists of a mouth, pharynx, esophagus, intestine, rectum and anus.  In the craniate skull, the olfactory organ is located anterior to the other structures, followed by paired eyes, paired ears. Also within the skull is the brain which is made up of five parts, the romencephalon, metencephalon, mesencephalon, diencephalon, and telencepahlon. Also present in the craniate skull are a collection of nerves such as the olfactory, optic, trigeninal, facial, accoustic, glossopharygeal, and vagus cranial nerve.  Most craniates have distinct male and female sexes, although some species are hemaphroditic. Most fish and amphibians undergo external fertilization and lay eggs when reproducing while other craniates (such as mammals) bear live young. Classification Animals > Chordates > Craniates Craniates are divided into the following taxonomic groups: Hagfishes (Myxini) - There are six species of hagfishes alive today. Members of this group have been the subject of much debate about how they should be placed within the classification of chordates. Currently, hagfishes are considered to be most closely related to lampreys. Lampreys (Hyperoartia) - There are about 40 species of lampreys alive today. Members of this group include northern lampreys, southern topeyed lampreys, and pouched lampreys. Lampreys have a long, slender body and a skeleton made of cartilage. Jawed vertebrates (Gnathostomata) - There are about 53,000 species of jawed vertebrates alive today. Jawed vertebrates include bony fishes, cartilaginous fishes, and tetrapods.


In January 1997 which British yachtsman was found alive five days after his boat capsized in the Southern Ocean?

BBC ON THIS DAY | 9 | 1997: Bullimore rescued after five days About This Site | Text Only 1997: Bullimore rescued after five days The lone yachtsman, Tony Bullimore, feared drowned after his boat capsized in the Southern Ocean five days ago, has been found safe and well. Mr Bullimore survived on "a little chocolate, water and sheer determination" crouched in the upturned hull of his yacht. He is said to be suffering mild hypothermia and dehydration but is otherwise well. His drifting yacht, the Exide Challenger, was spotted by an Australian navy ship. There were no visible signs of life, but when the rescuers banged on the boat's hull, they were amazed to hear Mr Bullimore knocking back. Asked for a cup of tea Rescue co-ordinators say the yachtsman is very lucky to be alive. He was wearing a survival suit which helped protect him against the extreme cold - but trapped in the boat's living quarters he probably had only enough air to last six days. Mr Bullimore said his first reaction to hearing his rescuers outside his boat was, "absolutely ecstatic, I thought it would never happen." Arriving on board the naval rescue ship, HMAS Adelaide, Mr Bullimore was said to be "babbling with excitement". He also asked for a cup of tea. His wife, Lalel, was told of the news of his rescue at the couple's home in Bristol. She is now preparing to fly out to Australia for an emotional reunion with her husband. She says she always believed her husband would be found. She described him as a "survivor." Mr Bullimore was taking part in the Vendee Globe single-handed non-stop round-the-world race. Questions are already being asked about the high cost of the rescue operation and whether it is too risky to send lone yachtsman into the dangerous Southern Ocean. Tony Bullimore was rescued after five days in the Southern Ocean In Context Tony Bullimore was reunited with his wife Lalel at the British High Commission office in Perth. He needed decompression treatment in a specialised medical centre for a few weeks after his ordeal. On his return to Britain, he was invited to an audience with the Queen. Tony Bullimore's ordeal did not put him off sailing. He filmed a TV programme with comedian Lenny Henry in which they sailed from Kent to the Caribbean. In an interview in the Observer in 2002, he said he planned to continue sailing in races all over the world. One good thing came out of his accident, he was put in touch with a daughter he never knew he had. She made contact after she saw him on television. I was there As a Royal Air Officer on exchange duties with the RAAF I was on the Search and Rescue P3 Orion flight that first sighted Bullimore's yacht upside down in the Southern Ocean. We spent days flying backwards and forwards the 1,500 miles plus from Perth to the yacht to update its position and, hopefully, give Tony some indication that we knew where he was - if he was still alive. My crew was on the scene when Tony appeared from under the hull. That's job satisfaction! Phil Buckley, USA
