Beeswing, Dumfries And Galloway
Beeswing is a small village in the historical county of Kirkcudbrightshire in Scotland. Etymology Before Beeswing became known as Beeswing, it was named West Park of Loch Arthur (shown in the census in 1841 and 1851) because the first house built by the local blacksmith was built on the land called West Park. As more houses were built, the village later became known as “Sclate Row” which means a row of houses with slate roofs. This row of houses is shown as Beeswing on the first edition of the six inch to the mile Ordnance Survey published in 1854. The village was named Beeswing in 1847 to honour Beeswing (1833–1854), a 19th-century British Thoroughbred racehorse from the north of England. Beeswing was hailed as the greatest mare in Britain and one of the greatest of all time. Entering 63 events, she won 51 times; of the 57 races she finished, she placed lower than second only once. Her most notable victory was in the Ascot Gold Cup of 1842. She won the Newcastle Cup six ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Beeswing (horse)
Beeswing (1833–1854) was a 19th-century British Thoroughbred racehorse from the north of England. In her day, Beeswing was hailed as the greatest mare in Britain and one of the greatest of all time.Ahnert, Rainer L. (editor in chief), “Thoroughbred Breeding of the World”, Pozdun Publishing, Germany, 1970 Breeding Her sire, Doctor Syntax was described by the noted racing writer "The Druid" as "...scarcely fifteen hands, very broad at the base of the nose, with open nostrils, an eye full and bright as a hawk's, a high, drooping rump, and on the side view rather short quartered. He was quite a mouse in his colour." But he took the Preston Gold Cup seven times, the Richmond Gold Cup five times, and the Lancaster Gold Cup five times as well. On both her dam's and her sire's side, Beeswing was descended from two renowned stallions, Eclipse (5x5x5) and Herod (5x5). Racing career Beeswing raced at many venues between 1835 and 1842 and was a real crowd favourite. Entering 63 e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mirror Blue
__NOTOC__ ''Mirror Blue'' is the eighth studio album by Richard Thompson, released in 1994. The follow-up to 1991's successful '' Rumor And Sigh'' was recorded in January 1993 with Mitchell Froom once again in the producer’s chair. Despite the increase in sales for his previous two albums, ''Mirror Blue'' was held back. The delay was partly due to changes at the top at Capitol Records which saw long time Thompson fan and supporter Hale Milgrim being replaced by Gary Gersh. When the album was eventually released it did not enjoy the record company support given to Thompson’s previous releases on Capitol. Unusually for a new Thompson release, ''Mirror Blue'' was not given a warm welcome by the critics. Criticism of the album was centered on the controversial production rather than on Thompson’s songs and playing, both of which are strong on this album. Thompson: "I thought it was a sort of deconstruction of the rock rhythm section... It was a radical record – and a b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Potassium Bitartrate
Potassium bitartrate, also known as potassium hydrogen tartrate, with formula K C4 H5 O6, is a byproduct of winemaking. In cooking, it is known as cream of tartar. It is processed from the potassium acid salt of tartaric acid (a carboxylic acid). The resulting powdery base can be used in baking or as a cleaning solution (when mixed with an acidic solution such as lemon juice or white vinegar). History Potassium bitartrate was first discovered by Swedish chemist Karl Wilhelm Scheele (1742-1786). This was a result of Scheele's work studying fluorite and hydrofluoric acid. Scheele may have been the first scientist to publish work on potassium bitartrate, but use of potassium bitartrate has been reported to date back 7000 years to an ancient village in northern Iran. Modern applications of cream of tartar started in 1768 after it gained popularity when the French started using it regularly in their cuisine. Occurrence Potassium bitartrate is naturally formed in grapes from th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
