Gill (unit)
__NOTOC__ The gill or teacup is a unit of measurement for volume equal to a quarter of a pint. It is no longer in common use, except in regard to the volume of alcoholic spirits measures. Imperial ;In imperial units: : US ;In United States customary units: : United Kingdom Prior to metrication in the United Kingdom, the standard single measure of spirits in a pub was in England and Wales, either or in Scotland, and in Northern Ireland. After metrication, this was replaced by measures of either , at the discretion of the proprietor. Half of a gill is a jack, or one-eighth of a pint. But in northern England, a quarter pint could also be called a jack or a noggin, rather than a gill, and in some areas a half-pint could be called a gill, particularly for beer and milk. In Scotland, there were additional sizes: * big gill = * wee gill = * wee half gill = * nip = Ireland In the republic of Ireland, the standard spirit measure was historically gill. It stil ...

Noggin (cup)
A noggin is a small drinking cup, generally carved from the burr of a tree. The noggin was first mentioned in the mid 17th century, initially as the cup, and later coming to mean a quarter of a pint equal to a gill. Its use later spread to North America. The origin of the name is not certain, but probably derives from nog, a strong type of ale brewed in Norfolk, England. The noggin then became a ''noigin'' (Irish) or ''noigean'' (Gaelic). The Scandinavian '' guksi'' is a similar vessel, carved from the burl of a birch tree A birch is a thin-leaved deciduous hardwood tree of the genus ''Betula'' (), in the family Betulaceae, which also includes alders, hazels, and hornbeams. It is closely related to the beech-oak family Fagaceae. The genus ''Betula'' contains 30 to .... References Drinkware {{drinkware-stub ...

Head
A head is the part of an organism which usually includes the ears, brain, forehead, cheeks, chin, eyes, nose, and mouth, each of which aid in various sensory functions such as sight, hearing, smell, and taste. Some very simple animals may not have a head, but many bilaterally symmetric forms do, regardless of size. Heads develop in animals by an evolutionary trend known as cephalization. In bilaterally symmetrical animals, nervous tissue concentrate at the anterior region, forming structures responsible for information processing. Through biological evolution, sense organs and feeding structures also concentrate into the anterior region; these collectively form the head. Human head The human head is an anatomical unit that consists of the skull, hyoid bone and cervical vertebrae. The skull consists of the brain case which encloses the cranial cavity, and the facial skeleton, which includes the mandible. There are eight bones in the brain case ...

Noggin (protein)
Noggin, also known as NOG, is a protein that is involved in the development of many Tissue (biology), body tissues, including Nervous tissue, nerve tissue, Skeletal muscle, muscles, and bones. In humans, noggin is encoded by the ''NOG'' gene. The Protein primary structure, amino acid sequence of human noggin is highly homologous to that of rat, mouse, and ''Xenopus'' (an aquatic frog genus). Noggin is an inhibitor of several Bone morphogenetic protein, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs): it inhibits at least Bone morphogenetic protein 2, BMP2, Bone morphogenetic protein 4, 4, Bone morphogenetic protein 5, 5, Bone morphogenetic protein 6, 6, Bone morphogenetic protein 7, 7, GDF6, 13, and GDF5, 14. The protein's name, which is a slang English-language word for "head", was coined in reference to its ability to produce embryos with large heads when exposed at high concentrations.

Dwang
In construction, a dwang (Scotland and New Zealand), nogging piece, nogging, noggin or nog (England and Australia; all derived from brick nog),Fleming, Eric. ''Construction technology: an illustrated introduction''. Oxford: Blackwell, 2005. 123, 160. Print. or blocking (North America), is a horizontal bracing piece used between wall studs to give rigidity to the wall frames of a building. Noggings may be made of timber, steel, or aluminium. If made of timber they are cut slightly longer than the space they fit into and are driven tightly into place or rabbeted into the wall stud. Although noggings between vertical studs brace the studs against buckling in compression they provide no bracing effect in shear, which is resisted by diagonal bracing to stop the frame racking. The interval between noggings is dictated by local building codes and by the type of timber used; a typical timber-framed house in a non-cyclonic area will have two or three noggings per storey between studs. ...

Noggin (brand)
Noggin is an American edutainment brand that was first introduced on February 2, 1999. Co-founded by MTV Networks (now Paramount Media Networks; owners of Nickelodeon) and Sesame Workshop, it started out as a cable television channel (which was later discontinued on September 28, 2009) and a website, both centered around the concepts of imagination, creativity, and education. From 2015 to 2024, Noggin was a over-the-top media service, streaming service aimed at preschoolers. In Noggin's first three years, it was mainly aimed at pre-teens and teenagers. One of Noggin's goals was to disprove the idea "that educational programming is not entertaining enough to attract pre-teens and young adults." It only aired preschool shows in the morning and devoted the rest of its schedule to tween and teen shows. In April 2002, Noggin extended its preschool block to last for 12 hours, airing from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, and the teen block ran from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. The teen block was given a new ...

Noggin The Nog
''Noggin the Nog'' is a fictional character appearing in a BBC Television animated series (of the same name, originally broadcast 1959–1965 and 1982) and a series of illustrated books (published 1965–1977), created by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin. The television series is considered a cult classic from the golden age of British children's television. Noggin himself is the simple, kind and unassuming "King of the Northmen" in a roughly Viking Age setting, with various fantastic elements such as dragons, flying machines and talking birds. Peter Firmin is said to have come up with the name of Noggin after travelling on the London Underground and seeing Neasden tube station, which made him think "Noggin". Some of the original artwork for the series is on display at the Rupert Bear Museum in Canterbury. The appearance of the characters was influenced by that of the Lewis chessmen in the British Museum. Plot and characters The stories were based around the central chara ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
