The Fowl Twins Deny All Charges

The Fowl Twins Deny All Charges is the second novel in Eoin Colfer's The Fowl Twins series, a spin-off and continuation of the Artemis Fowl series and second cycle of The Fowl Adventures,Myles and Beckett Fowl, the younger twin brothers of criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl II, as they live out their house arrest under the supervision of pixie-elf hybrid Lazuli Heitz.Deny All Charges was released 20 October 2020 by Viking Press and Disney Hyperion. The novel was well received by critics, with reviews comparing its quality and success to that of the original series.

Background

Colfer stated writing Artemis Fowl and the Last Guardian that he had had "enough" with the series, opting to take a "breather" from it in favor of other projects, stating with regards the writing of The Fowl Twins that "[i]t would probably be a lot easier if I was on Artemis 15 by now. I just find I get bored, and if I get bored, the work suffers", having decided to return to the Fowl series after having "had too many stories running around in [his] head to ignore", referencing that while it is "not very Irish to be proud of something, but I started to feel a pride in the [Fowl] world. I'm kind of a curmudgeon, really, but I went back into it more positively."The Fowl Twins spin-off series from Disney Hyperion, writing both The Fowl Twins and Deny All Charges simultaneously.

Reception


The Fowl Twins Deny All Charges

Reception

Critical reception for The Fowl Twins Deny All Charges was positive, meeting with praise from most reviewers. Kirkus Reviews praised the book, writing: "Colfer [continuously] strings dazzling displays of high tech, heartwarming peeks at the family dynamics of the closely knit if decidedly eccentric Fowl clan, dolphin-back rides, huge blobs of slime (some of it explosive), and a climactic exhibition of prejudice gone off the rails that is intense enough to leave readers queasy."The Irish Times praised the novel as an "offer [of a] page-turning adventure with a side of ridiculous fun", numbering it among the "best children’s books of the year".Laughing Place praised how "Colfer has proven that you can capture lightning in a bottle twice with this supremely hilarious and joyful read", and of his "gift with language and for creating such likable characters that makes this reader chuckle from page to page."Better Reading complimented the novel's "multi-faceted" characters and for "action sequences [that] are jam-packed [with a] dialled-up [form of] craziness [at] maximum levels in a kind of literary challenge."

Soon he would stay behind for the entirety of the race never posing as a concern for any of the competitors. In the end Eldaafer only was able to get fourth. His next start was the Tokyo City Cup Stakes, Like before he started out sixth. The difference was that he was running in a bigger field. Just like before though he would be fourth but it was by a big 17 1/2 lengths behind the winner.

After that Eldaafer next start would be another attempt at the Brooklyn Handicap. Yet again he started sixth and again stayed behind. But at the far turn he challenged the leader Redeemed and tried to take over the lead and win his second Brooklyn Handicap. Unfortunately Redeemed fought back and opened up a two and three quarter length win. Eldaafer would hang on to second. Later he would run twice more, first was the United Nations. At the start he was a tough third for most of the race. Unfortunately, he fell back and finished seventh and last, he was 11 1/2 lengths behind the winner. His next start was in the Philip H. Iselin Stakes. Surprisingly he went to the lead at the beginning of the race, however, this was short lived as he fell back to fifth and most of what was left of the race he stayed there.


Eldaafer

Next would be the Carl Hanford Memorial, after starting third he quickly moved up to second. He started only a length behind but then dropped two lengths back. Soon he moved up and at the far turn took over the lead at the far turn by one and a half lengths. At the finish he doubled his margin to three lengths at the wire. Next would be Hawthorne Gold Cup, Surprisingly he stayed near the front for all of the race. He stayed head and head with the leader Alternation, soon he would take the lead. By the far turn it was a three horse race and just at the wire Eldaafer fell back and was third, just one and three-quarter lengths behind. Finally he would be back to run in the Breeders Cup Marathon. At the start he was ninth but quickly moved up to eighth. He then moved up to seventh seven and a half lengths behind the leader. He then stayed seventh for the rest of the race finishing 13 3/4 lengths behind the winner.

8-year-old season

Old Friends Equine

As an 8-year-old Eldaafer also only had one victory. His first start was and allowance. At the start he was fourth but dropped back to sixth and then seventh, at the far turn he was sixth and look completely out contention. In the homestretch swung seven wide and ran late finishing third. His next start was in the Skip Away Stakes. At the start he was third and stayed there for the first quarter of a mile. Unfortunately, he faltered more and more as the race went on and finished fifth. He would try again in the Memorial Handicap. However he started eight and tried going four wide, however instead he faded and fell back to tenth and last place, he would also be 18 1/2 lengths behind the winner.


Eldaafer

After that he tried another stakes race in the Stymie Stakes. At the start he was fourth and stayed until the first quarter of a mile. Then he moved up to third and stayed there until the far turn where he went four wide and went for second. Despite this move he could only get second after the winner Ponzi Scheme opened up his lead in the stretch. Finally, Eldaafer ran his last start in the Greenwood Cup. He started fifth and stayed in fifth for the first mile. Eldaafer then took the lead but Indian Jones would not give up the lead that easily. By the far turn he had the lead, but he was still challenged for that lead throughout the stretch by Indian Jones until they hit the wire together. It was Eldaafer by a nose. After the race he suffered a suspensory injury. Because of this he was retired after the race. Eldaafer now lives at Old Friends in Georgetown, Kentucky, with his two best friends, Yahoo and Google the goats.

The Princess and the Butterfly

The Ludgate Monthly, 1897

Theatrical poster for The Princess and the Butterfly by Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theatre Company.

The Princess and The Butterfly: or, The Fantastics is a comedy in five acts by Arthur Wing Pinero first produced at London’s St. James's Theatre on 25 March 1897 and in New York at the Lyceum Theatre on 23 November 1897.The Princess and the Butterfly was somewhat abbreviated from the four-hour production that originally played in London.

Synopsis

  * Act I, London.—at Princess Pannonia's residence on Park Lane.
  * Act II, London.—at St. Roche's residence on Grosvenor Place. (Some Weeks Elapse.)
  * Act III, Paris.—at Princess Pannonia's residence on the Avenue des Champs-Filysees.
  * Act IV, Paris.—same as act III, different room. (A Month Passes.)
  * Act V, Paris—an orchard, near Fontenay-Sous-Bois.

Princess Pannonia is the English-born wife of a Hungarian noble who has spent the last twenty years of her life living in the remote castle of Mornavitza. After her husband dies, the princess returns to London where she falls in love with Sir George Lamorant, an old friend once known as "the butterfly." Their plans to marry though are soon complicated by a shared fear of approaching middle age.

Dramatic Technique, By George Pierce Baker, 1919

In The Princess and the Butterfly, Act I not only disposes of preliminary necessary exposition, but depicts different kinds of restlessness in a group of women at or nearing middle age. Act II does the same for a group of men, and in the proposed duel provides what later may be made to reveal to Sir George how much Fay Zuliani cares for him. Act III complicates the story by showing that Fay is not the niece of Sir George, and illustrates the growing affection between the Princess and Edward Oriel. Act IV reveals to Sir George and Fay how much each cares for the other. The fifth act shows how Sir George and the Princess, who have tried to be wise and restrained, impulsively and instinctively, choose the path of seeming unwisdom but immediate happiness.

Reception


The Princess and the Butterfly

Reception

The Era commented, "Mr Pinero's latest piece possesses in a high degree the rare and subtle quality of tone. And to deserve this praise though five acts and four hours is such a supreme achievement for a dramatist."The Pall Mall Gazette called the piece "the most interesting of the original plays to be seen at present on the London boards, and probably the most interesting that has been seen on them for a considerable time".The Evening Standard found the play "at once fantastic and true to life … very much indeed of a love story for no fewer than three pairs of lovers are left on the verge of matrimony."

The Opera Glass, 1897, commented on the American production:

Daniel Frohman's stock company returned to the Lyceum, opening in Pinero's, The Princess and the Butterfly. You all know what a Pinero play is; well, this one is just like the others. It tells an impossible story but gives ample opportunity for the men and women to exhibit themselves. Yet the play was a success. There can be no doubt of that. But the success is due to Mr. Frohman's clever company, chief among which is Julie Opp, who appeared in the original production in London. Miss Opp is a beautiful woman and looked and acted the part of the Princess to perfection. The acting of James K. Hackett and Mary Mannering was additional proof of their talent. Mr. Morgan, Mrs. Whitten and Mrs. Walcot were delightful as usual.

The American University Magazine, 1897, said, "The delightful play, The Princess and the Butterfly, will doubtless have a long run at the Lyceum. The public appreciates that It is getting a good deal for one's ticket to have two leading roles with Mary Mannering and Julie Opp to fill them".

True Monster Stories

True Monster Stories, written by Terry Deary, is the first of the non-fiction True Stories Series of books. It was published in 1992 by Hippo Books from Scholastic.

Overview

The book details strange but apparently "true" encounters with a variety of monsters. The book is divided into eight sections; ranging from wild-men, to bigfoot/sasquatch, through to sea creatures (including Loch Ness Monster), vampires and werewolves.

Each section opens with an introduction into that particular set of monsters/creatures. Accounts and brief details then follow of supposed encounters, and each account then ends with a fact file. These fact files present a brief analysis of the events in the accounts, and then present miscellaneous related facts from other similar events.

The book is written so as to let the reader decide for themselves whether they believe the events therein to be true or not.

Audience

As with all the True Stores books, it was aimed at an 11+ market, but found popularity with adults and youngsters alike.

The idea of power posing builds on a paper Carney published in 2005 called "Beliefs about the nonverbal expression of social power" and a finding called the facial feedback hypothesis (which has come under some scrutiny for possibly being a false positive finding; however a recent paper suggests the facial feedback hypothesis may be a true phenomenon after all).replicability in psychological science by Carney being among a first recent batch of scientists publicly disclosing they did not, after failed replications, have faith in their own research. Carney was applauded for her willingness to disclose her doubts.

Thap Khlo district

Thap Khlo (Thai: ทับคล้อ, pronounced [tʰáp kʰlɔ́ː]) is a district (amphoe) in the eastern part of Phichit province, central Thailand.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Dong Charoen, Bang Mun Nak, Taphan Hin and Wang Sai Phun of Phichit Province, Noen Maprang of Phitsanulok province, Wang Pong and Chon Daen of Phetchabun province.

History

On 1 May 1983 the minor district (king amphoe) Thap Khlo was established as a subordinate of Taphan Hin district, from which four tambon were split off.

Economy

Khao Chet Luk in the Thap Khlo district is the site of Thailand's largest gold mine, the Chatree Mining Complex. Akara Resources PCL, a Thai-Australian firm, owns and operates the mine. Akara is a subsidiary of Australian company, Kingsgate Consolidated Ltd. The complex includes the Chatree South ore field, which began commercial production in November 2001, and the Chatree North ore field, which began production in November 2008. The complex also includes processing plants.

Akara has asked the government to review its decision. The company was surprised that the cabinet adopted the resolution to close the mine given that a panel set up by the Ministry of Industry has not yet completed its investigation into pollution and health complaints. The panel, set up in 2015, is composed of state agencies, affected villagers, academics, environmentalists, and Akara representatives. The company claims that there is no conclusive link between the heavy metals and illnesses claimed by some villagers.

Kingsgate will seek a settlement through arbitration procedures under the Australia-Thailand Free Trade Agreement "in order to recover the substantial losses that it has suffered, and continue to suffer, as a result of the measures taken by the Thai government."

Administration

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 57 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon), Thap Khlo and Khao Sai. Both cover parts of their respective tambons. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

The Princess Who Was Hidden Underground

The Princess Who Was Hidden Underground is a German fairy tale. Andrew Lang included it in The Violet Fairy Book.

Synopsis

In a far away kingdom there was a king divided his property between his three sons. The older two squandered what they had been given and soon had nothing, but the youngest son was prudent, and became rich.

The youngest son, now the king, had an underground castle built, in which he imprisoned his daughter, and then killed the architect. The youngest son decreed that whoever could find his daughter would marry her, but whoever tried and failed would die. Many died trying. One of the young men looking for the king's daughter had a shepherd sew him into a golden sheep fleece and bring him to the king. The king tried to buy the sheep, the shepherd would only lend it for three days. The king borrowed the sheep and took it to his daughter in the underground castle, using a magical charm to open the doors.

In the night, the man threw off the sheepskin, and upon seeing him the daughter fell in love with him. Before their three days together were up the princess told the young man that even if he could find her, the king would insist on another test; the king would turn the princess and her maid into ducks and the young man would have to determine which duck was the princess.

When the three days were up, the shepherd returned to the king to retrieve his sheep and the young man revealed himself. The young man found the daughter using what he had learned, the young man successfully identified the princess after the king turned her and all her maids to ducks. Because the young man was successful the king had to yield and the young man married the princess.

Motifs

This method of winning the princess is also found in the Italian fairy tales The Fair Fiorita and The Golden Lion.

Dale Schoeller

Dale A. Schoeller is an American biomedical physiologist based at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

Work

Schoeller's main work involves the measurement of human energy demands using a technique known as the doubly labeled water method.

The doubly labeled water method was invented in the 1950s by Lifson and colleagues at the University of Minnesota. It permits measurement of energy demands of subjects unencumbered by the traditional apparatus necessary to measure gas exchange. The cost of oxygen-18 isotope however precluded its use to all but small animals. Advances in isotope ratio mass spectrometry in the late 1970s however brought studies of humans within the range of financial feasibility.

Schoeller was the first person to apply the method to human subjects.methodology for human applications throughout the 1980s and remains one of the world's foremost authorities in its use.


Xanthodaphne agonia

Xanthodaphne agonia is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.

Subspecies: Xanthodaphne agonia altina (Dall, 1908)

Description

The length of the shell attains 16 mm, its diameter 8 mm.

(Original description) The small, thin shell is bright yellow-brown. It contains six full and rounded whorls. The protoconch is lost, but without doubt of the Sinusigera type. The spiral sculpture in front of the fasciole consists of numerous sharp elevated threads with wider interspaces, between each pair of which, except on the siphonal canal, are one or two smaller intercalary threads. On the fasciole there are only a few comparatively faint threads, which do not rise above the transverse sculpture, while on the body the spiral sculpture is predominant though minutely undulated by the other. The transverse sculpture is composed of numerous fine, rounded, somewhat elevated threads with wider interspaces, forming a series of elegant concavely arched ripples on the anal fasciole, beyond which they become fainter, closer, and obscure, being over-ridden by the spirals which they minutely undulate. The fasciole is slightly impressed and extends to the suture, which is distinct but not channeled. The notch is shallow and gently rounded. The outer lip is arched forward and sharp. The body is covered with a thin glaze, in the aperture. The columella is thin, twisted, not pervious. The siphonal canal is short and distinct.

Distribution

This marine species was found off the Galapagos Islands.

The movie was made using a wide array of genuine wartime vehicles and, when it was not possible to acquire originals, replicas were used. Some of the tanks used had participated in the actual real-life battles depicted in the film and had been stored in a museum. Also used was a Focke-Wulf Fw 190 replica made by the German company Flug + Werk.Erich Rudorffer's aircraft in 1944.

The reception for the film was mixed. Most of the criticism was targeted at the lack of main characters and a proper plot.

The Princess and Curdie

The Princess and Curdie is a children's classic fantasy novel by George MacDonald from late 1883.

The book is the sequel to The Princess and the Goblin. The adventure continues with Princess Irene and Curdie a year or two older. They must overthrow a set of corrupt ministers who are poisoning Irene's father, the king. Irene's grandmother also reappears and gives Curdie a strange gift. A monster called Lina aids his quest.

Synopsis

Two years have passed since the last book, and Princess Irene and her father go to Gwyntystorm, while Curdie (a miner boy who is the friend of the Princess) stays at home with his mother and father.

As the years go by, Curdie begins to hunt for pleasure. He also slowly begins to doubt Irene's story of her great-great grandmother. One day, he shoots down a white pigeon. Curdie then remembers Irene's tale of her grandmother's pigeons, assumes the one he has shot down was one of them, and becomes aware of his folly. A light appears at the roof of the castle, and Curdie follows it. There, Curdie meets the old Princess, who appears small and withered, contrary to Irene's descriptions.

The old Princess gently tells Curdie of his wrong thinking, and he confesses. Because he now believes, the pigeon heals. He is then told to keep his bow and arrows but use them for good instead of bad things. The old Princess then tells Curdie he must go on a special quest. Before she sends him, she burns his hands in her special fire of roses. His cleansed hands now possess the ability to be able to feel the hands of his fellow men and detect what kind of person (or beast) they are on the inside. She also gives Curdie's father a special emerald to keep while Curdie is away on the quest. If Curdie is in danger, the emerald will change colour, to alert his father to go after him.


The Princess and Curdie

Curdie is given a monstrous yet friendly beast, Lina, as his only travelling companion. Lina saves him from many perils as they travel to Gwyntystorm. Once they reach their destination, Curdie's task becomes clear: he finds himself at the King's palace, where the King lies weak and ill in his bedchamber with his daughter Irene his only nurse.

Having sneaked in to spy on what is going on and eavesdrop on the palace servants, Curdie realises that the King's "doctor" is actually slowly poisoning him. The palace servants and courtiers have all become morally corrupt and enemies of the king. No one can be trusted and both the Princess and the King are in mortal danger, so Curdie realises why the Old Princess has sent him: he must save the king (Irene's father) from a plot to poison him and steal his kingdom by forcibly marrying his daughter Princess Irene to an evil pretender. With the aid of the old Princess, who has been disguised as a housemaid, the king, his daughter, and the kingdom are saved. Curdie and Princess Irene are later married and rule the kingdom after the king dies. However, they have no children, and after they both die, the kingdom deteriorates until one day it collapses and is never spoken of again.

Lynne Truss has described being given a copy of The Princess and Curdie for her 7th birthday as "a formative moment in [her] literary life – and not in a good way", calling it "dark, dense, [and] moralistic".SF Signal, Karen Burnham noted that the novel is about the divine right of kings, and lauded the "awesome ugly monsters" and the quality of McDonald's prose, but criticized Curdie's power to assess moral worth by touch as "horribly reductionistic"; ultimately, Burnham considered the novel to be a far inferior sequel, emphasizing that it has "heavy-handed political and religious allegories", a "deus ex machina ending", and a "very cynical epilogue".

True North II

True North II was a small, 10.6 metre glass-bottom tour boat that sank on June 16, 2000, in 15 metres (49 ft) of water off of Tobermory, Ontario, Canada, in Georgian Bay, while transporting a class of 13 students from an overnight field trip to Flowerpot Island back to the mainland. Two of the students, 12-year-olds Wade Simmons and Henrike Foerster, were killed in the sinking. The ship sank suddenly in rain and nearly gale-force winds, causing the parents of the deceased to question the captain's decision to travel in such bad weather. The captain ignored a Small craft advisory warning about the relatively heavy seas and high winds prior to leaving the dock (1m waves and 15-25 knot winds), although it was later reported that the vessel experienced winds of 30 knots.

The remaining 18 people on board (11 of whom were classmates of the victims) managed to survive by swimming approximately 200 metres to shore. None of the passengers were wearing lifejackets, as it was not officially required by law at the time to don them unless the captain ordered a ship evacuation. This rule came under some scrutiny after the accident.

An inquest into the events was in fact later launched and ended in the jury calling for safer school field trips and boating standards in Ontario. One issue that was pointed out was that there were 22 lifejackets, which were stored in garbage bags, on board, but that only two were child-sized despite the fact that there were 13 children on board. The sinking of the True North II on a whole, however, was ruled to be an accident.

Captain Beaky and His Band

"Hissing Sid" redirects here. For the murderer known as Hissing Sid, see Sidney Cooke.

Captain Beaky & His Band (Not Forgetting Hissing Sid!!!), commonly shortened to Captain Beaky & His Band or Captain Beaky, is the title of two albums (volumes 1 and 2) of poetry by Jeremy Lloyd set to music by Jim Parker and recited by various British celebrities. The albums generated two books of poetry, BBC television shows, a West End musical, a pantomime (Captain Beaky and His Musical Christmas performed by Twiggy, Eleanor Bron, Keith Michell and Jeremy Lloyd at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, London, in December 1981), performances by the National Youth Ballet of Great Britain and a gala in aid of UNICEFRoger Moore, Joanna Lumley, Jeremy Lloyd and the National Youth Ballet at the Royal Albert Hall, London, in December 2011. The first album was released on vinyl in 1977 and the second in 1980. Both were re-released on compact disc in 2002.

Captain Beaky's band consist of Timid Toad, Reckless Rat, Artful Owl and Batty Bat. The title track from the first album, "Captain Beaky", was released as a 7 inch single with "Wilfred the Weasel" and "Blanche" on the B-side by Polydor in 1980; it reached Number 5 in the UK Singles Chart and number 36 in Australia.Keith Michell, informs us that:

The bravest animals in the land are Captain Beaky and his band
That's Timid Toad, Reckless Rat, Artful Owl and Batty Bat
They march through the woodlands singing songs
That tell how they have righted wrongs.

According to Jonathan Rowlands,BBC Radio 1 disc jockey Noel Edmonds heard colleague Tony Blackburn play the record, "he grabbed it from his turntable, played it just once, and the result was that an atomic scientist who was on secondment with the British Museum, upon hearing the show and recognising that Captain Beaky's bete-noir [sic] Hissing Sid was not all that bad, wrote in [to the BBC] proclaiming "Hissing Sid Is Innocent Okay!".


Captain Beaky and His Band

The character of Hissing Sid is a snake, mentioned in both "Captain Beaky" on the first album and "The Trial of Hissing Sid" on the second. The slogan "Hissing Sid is Innocent!" became a popular catch phrase, appearing everywhere including as a graffito on walls (sometimes as a modification for earlier "George Davis is Innocent!" graffiti, especially after Davis' second conviction), on badges, and on car stickers.

Vine's Expository Dictionary

An Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words was written by William Edwy Vine and published as a four volume set in 1940. In common usage, the title is often shortened to Vine's Expository Dictionary, or simply Vine's. It is a cross-reference from key English words in the Authorized King James Version to the original words in the Greek texts of the New Testament. In his preface to the book, Vine wrote, "The present volumes are produced especially for the help of those who do not study Greek, though it is hoped that those who are familiar with the original will find them useful." It provides a concise meaning of the original Greek word, often providing Bible verse references as examples. If there are several Greek words that may translate to the same English word, Vine's distinguishes the shadings of meaning and connotation that may be lost in the English translation. For example, there are a number of Greek words that may be translated by the English word love.

Vine's also provides the definition of a word (as used in the King James Version) more accurately than an English dictionary, because it expands the Greek use of the word. For example, the word, "godliness" in 1 Tim. 2:2 is defined in the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary as "1: Divine 2: pious, devout -", but in Vines, it is defined as " 'to be devout,' denotes that piety which is characterized by a Godward attitude, does that which is well-pleasing to Him." So we have a fuller meaning of the word by seeing how the word is used in the NT.

Vine's can be used with Strong's Concordance. Every word is numbered with the equivalent Strong's number so you can use it more efficiently.

Vine did not write an equivalent work for Old Testament Hebrew words; however, Vine's work is sometimes combined with another author's Hebrew dictionary and marketed under Vine's name as a "complete" expository dictionary.

Candahar, Ghuznee, Cabul Medal

Reverse of Candahar, Ghuznee, Cabul version

The Candahar, Ghuznee, Cabul Medal was awarded to those who took part in the campaign in the spring and summer of 1842, under the command of General William Nott, to restore British standing in Afghanistan after earlier defeats during the First Anglo-Afghan War.

The medal was approved by General Order at Simla by the Honourable East India Company on 4 October 1842. Approximately 22,100 were awarded, about 4,400 to members of the British Army and 17,700 to the mainly native forces of the Honourable East India Company.

Appearance

The medal, designed by William Wyon, was silver and 36 millimetres (1.4 in) in diameter, with the following design:
The obverse shows the diademed head Queen Victoria facing left with the inscription 'VICTORIA VINDEX', Vindex translating as 'Protector'.
Four different reverses were struck, indicating the campaigns in which the recipient served:
'CANDAHAR 1842' within a laurel wreath, surmounted by a crown. For operations around Kandahar from March to May 1842. Slightly over 2,600 were awarded.
'CABUL 1842' within a laurel wreath, surmounted by a crown. For the advance on Kabul, culminating in the city's capture on 15 September 1842. Approximately 12,750 were awarded.
'GHUZNEE' 'CABUL', each within a separate laurel wreath, surmounted by a single crown and with the year '1842' below. For the forces who defeated the Afghans at Ghuznee on 30 August and who then advanced on Kabul. About 1,520 were awarded.
'CANDAHAR, GHUZNEE, CABUL 1842' within a single laurel wreath, surmounted by a crown. For those present at all three campaigns. Slightly over 5,200 were awarded.

The suspension consists of a straight steel suspender, attached to the medal by way of a steel clip and pin. Some recipients later replaced this with a more ornate silver suspension.

The ribbon is the watered rainbow coloured ribbon common to most East India Company medals, with a pattern of red, white, yellow, white and blue.

The recipient's name and regiment were engraved on the edge for the medal.


Candahar, Ghuznee, Cabul Medal

While no official clasps were awarded, 'Marzenia 1842' and 'Tazeane 1842' were sometimes privately added to the ribbon of the Cabul medal.

In addition, two erroneous strikings were made. In one 'VICTORIA REGINA' rather than 'VICTORIA VINDEX' appears on the obverse; in the other the reverse reads 'CABVL 1842', 15 of these medals are known to have been issued.

Anglo-Afghan War

Four separate campaign medals were awarded to British led forces who served in the Afghan War of 1839 to 1842:

  * Ghuznee Medal. Storming of Ghuznee fortress, 21–23 July 1839.
  * Jellalabad Medal. Defence of Jalalabad, 12 November 1841 – 7 April 1842.
  * Medal for the Defence of Kelat-I-Ghilzie. Defence of Kelat-I-Ghilzie, January–26 May 1842.
  * Candahar, Ghuznee, Cabul Medal. Major operations of 1842, the final year of the war.

The Broomfield Hill

"The Broomfield Hill", "The Broomfield Wager" "The Merry Broomfield", "The Green Broomfield", "A Wager, a Wager", or "The West Country Wager" (Child 43, Roud 34) is a traditional English folk ballad.

Synopsis

In most versions a gentleman, in some versions called Lord John, challenges a maiden to a wager, usually at very high odds:

"A wager, a wager with you, pretty maid,
My one hundred pound to your ten"
That a maid you shall go into yonder green broom
But a maid you shall never return"

or she makes a tryst and realizes she can either stay and be foresworn, or go and lose her virginity. After, in some versions advice from a witch-wife, or after persuading him to drink "a glass of something so strong" in one version,

"Then three times she went from the crown of his head
And three times from the soles of his feet,
And three times she kissed his red ruby lips
As he lay fast in a sleep."

then, after leaving tokens to show she had been there, either leaves quickly or hides in the bushes to watch what happens.

He wakes and in some variants taxes those with him — his goshawk, his servingmen, his horse, or his hound — that they did not wake him, but they answer it was impossible. He is angry that he did not manage to take her virginity and, in many variants, murder her afterwards, though in others he says he would have murdered her if she had resisted his intentions:

"Had I been awake when my true love was here
Of her I would have had my will
If not, the pretty birds in this merry green broom
Of her blood they should all had her fill."

In some variants, she hears this and leaves glad:

"Be cheerful, be cheerful, and do not repine.
For now 'tis as clear as the sun.
The money, the money, the money is mine,
And the wager I fairly have won".
