Dogger Bank
Dogger Bank ( Dutch: ''Doggersbank'', German: ''Doggerbank'', Danish: ''Doggerbanke'') is a large sandbank in a shallow area of the North Sea about off the east coast of England. During the last ice age, the bank was part of a large landmass connecting mainland Europe and the British Isles, now known as Doggerland. It has long been known by fishermen to be a productive fishing bank; it was named after the '' doggers'', medieval Dutch fishing boats especially used for catching cod. At the beginning of the 21st century, the area was identified as a potential site for a UK round 3 wind farm, being developed as Dogger Bank Wind Farm. Name The name Dogger Bank was first recorded in the mid-17th century. It is probably derived from the word "'' dogger''" used for a two-masted boat of the type that trawled for fish in the area in medieval times. The area has similar names in Dutch, German, Swedish, and Danish. Geography The bank extends over about , and is about in exte ...

Shipping Forecast
The ''Shipping Forecast'' is a BBC Radio broadcast of weather reports and forecasts for the seas around the British Isles. It is produced by the Met Office and broadcast by BBC Radio 4 on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. The forecast dates back over 150 years. There are currently two or three broadcasts per day, at 00:48, 05:34, and 17:54 (weekends only) UK local time. In the forecast, the waters around the British Isles are divided into 31 sea areas, also known as weather areas. The forecast begins by listing areas with gale warnings, followed by a general synopsis of pressure areas, then a forecast for each individual sea area covering wind speed and direction, precipitation, and visibility. Extended forecasts at 00:48 and 05:34 include information from coastal weather stations and an inshore waters forecast. The unique and distinctive presentation style of these broadcasts has led to their attracting an audience much wider than that directly interested in ...

Paul Dogger
Paul Dogger (born 4 July 1971) is a former professional tennis player from the Netherlands. Biography Career Dogger, who was born in Amsterdam, was a highly ranked junior, the national champion in multiple age levels growing up. He often outperformed close friend Richard Krajicek, who went on to win Wimbledon. Most notably, Dogger beat Brice Karsh to win the Under 16s title at the Orange Bowl in 1987. At the age of 16 he played in an exhibition tournament in Ede which included a match against Ivan Lendl where he was competitive in a 4–6, 4–6 loss. Only days after turning 17 in 1988, he became one of the youngest players to win a Challenger tournament when he claimed the title at Oporto. In the same month he represented the Netherlands in a 1988 Davis Cup tie against the USSR in the Latvian resort town of Jūrmala. Featuring in two singles rubbers, he lost both to his Soviet opponents, Andrei Cherkasov and Andrei Chesnokov, as the Netherlands were whitewashed in the tie. He wa ...

Dogging (sexual Slang)
Dogging is a British English slang term for engaging in sexual acts in a public or semi-public place or watching others doing so. There may be more than two participants; both group sex and gang banging can be included. As observation is encouraged, voyeurism and exhibitionism are closely associated with dogging. The people involved meet either randomly or, increasingly, arrange beforehand over the Internet to meet up. In September 2003, BBC News reported on the "new" dogging craze. They cited the Internet and text messaging as common ways of organising meetings. The original definition of dogging—and which remains a closely related activity—is spying on couples having sex in a car or other public place, and the term had been in use on Britain's railways for many years. It would have been well-known at least as far back as 1951. There is some evidence on the Internet that the "craze" has begun to spread to other countries, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, ...

Dingo
The dingo (either included in the species ''Canis familiaris'', or considered one of the following independent taxa: ''Canis familiaris dingo'', ''Canis dingo'', or ''Canis lupus dingo'') is an ancient (basal (phylogenetics), basal) lineage of dog found in Australia. Its taxonomy, taxonomic classification is debated as indicated by the variety of scientific names presently applied in different publications. It is variously considered a form of domestic dog not warranting recognition as a subspecies, a subspecies of dog or wolf, or a full species in its own right. The dingo is a medium-sized Canis, canine that possesses a lean, hardy body adapted for speed, agility, and stamina. The dingo's three main coat colourations are light ginger or tan, black and tan, or creamy white. The skull is wedge-shaped and appears large in proportion to the body. The dingo is closely related to the New Guinea singing dog: their lineage split early from the lineage that led to today's domestic do ...

Dogger (boat)
The ''dogger'' () was a group of similar fishing boats, described as early as the fourteenth century, that commonly operated in the North Sea. Early examples were single-masted and were largely used for fishing for cod by rod and line. By the seventeenth century, two-masted ''dogger''s were common and were using trawl nets. Doggers were slow but sturdy vessels, capable of fishing in the rough conditions of the North Sea. Name The boats were used for fishing for cod, now called ''kabeljauw'' in Dutch, but in that era the name ''dogge'' or ''doggevis'' was more common. Dutch boats were ubiquitous in the North Sea, and the word ''dogger'' was given to the rich fishing grounds where they often fished, which became known as the Dogger Bank. The sea area in turn gave its name to the later design of boat that commonly fished that area, and so became associated with this specific design rather than the generic Dutch trawlers. Design The dogger was a development of the ketch. It was gaf ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Doggo
DoggoLingo is an Internet language that is created from word conversion, meme lexicon, and onomatopoeia. Emerging in the 2010s, DoggoLingo is implied to be a dog's own idiom, and is presented as a canine's thought process. Elyse Graham, assistant professor at Stony Brook University, describes DoggoLingo as "upbeat, joyful, and clueless in a relentlessly friendly way". Structure and usage DoggoLingo appends various diminutive suffixes "-o", "-er", "-ino" to existing English words (e.g. ''dog'' turns into ''doggo'', ''pup'' turns into ''pupper'') as well as DoggoLingo words that have been created (e.g. ''pupper'' turns into ''pupperino''). DoggoLingo relies heavily upon onomatopoeia: Words such as ''mlem'' or ''blep'' describe the action of a dog sticking out its tongue, or other forms of facial expression. Much like a creole language, DoggoLingo follows a similar rudimentary style to create its verbs (e.g. ''doin me a'' in place of present participles with the speaker as obj ...
