Marlborough Town, Wiltshire
Filed Under Miscellaneous | Comments Off
Marlborough Town
Marlborough is a market town in the English county of Wiltshire on the Old Bath Road, the old main road from London to Bath. It is well known for having the widest high-street in Britain.
The first sign of human habitation is the pre-historic mound (tumulus), in the grounds of Marlborough College. It is possibly of similar age to the larger Silbury Hill five miles to the west. Legend has it that the Mound is the burial site of Merlin[1] and that the name of the town, Marlborough comes from Merlin’s Barrow. The town’s motto is Ubi nunc sapientis ossa Merlini - Where now are the bones of wise Merlin[2].
Further evidence of human occupation comes from the discovery of the Marlborough Bucket an Iron Age burial bucket, with decorations of human heads and animals on sheet bronze.
Roman remains and coins have been found two miles to the East of Marlborough, at Mildenhall (Cunetio).
A later Saxon settlement grew up around The Green and two early river crossings were made at Isbury Lane and Stonebridge Lane.
The first written record of Marlborough dates from 1087 when the Domesday Book was finished. The borough received its charter to hold a market in 1204.[3]
* In 1067, William the Conqueror assumed control of the Marlborough area and set about building a wooden motte and bailey castle, sited on the pre-historic mound. This was completed in around 1100 and stone was used to strengthen the castle, in around 1175.
* William also established a mint in Marlborough, which coined the William I and the early William II silver pennies. The coins display the name of the town as Maerlebi or Maerleber.
* William I established the neighbouring Savernake Forest as a favourite Royal hunting ground [4] and Marlborough Castle became a Royal residence. Henry I observed Easter here, in 1110. Richard I (Coeur de Lion) gave the castle to his brother John, in 1186. Henry II stayed at Marlborough Castle, in talks with the King of Scotland. King John was married here and spent time in Marlborough. He even established a Treasury. Later, Henry III was also married here.[5]
* Henry III held Parliament here, in 1267, when the Statute of Marlborough was passed (this gave rights and privileges to small land owners and limited the right of the King to take possession of land). This seven-hundred-year-old law states that no one shall seize his neighbour’s goods for alleged wrong, without permission of the Court. It is the oldest piece of English law which has not yet been repealed.
* The castle fell into disrepair by the end of the 14th century but remained Crown property. Edward VI then passed it to the Seymour family, his mother’s relatives.
* The 1204 Charter granted the Borough an annual eight-day fair, commencing on 14 August, the vigil of the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady (15 August), in which “all might enjoy the liberties and quittances customary in the fair at Winchester”. He also established that weekly markets may be held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. These continue to this day.[6]
* In 1498 Thomas Wolsey was ordained priest in (the now redundant) St Peter’s church. He later rose to become a cardinal and Lord Chancellor.
* In 1642, Marlborough’s peace was shattered by the English Civil War. The Seymours held the Castle for the King but the Town was for Parliament. With his headquarters in nearby Oxford, King Charles had to deal with Marlborough. “A Town the most notoriously disaffected of all that Country, otherwise, saving the obstinacy and malice of the inhabitants, in the situation of it very unfit for a garrison… this place the King saw would prove quickly an ill neighbour to him, not only as it was in the heart of a rich County, and so would straighten him, and even infest his quarters.” The King sent Lord Digby to take the town of Marlborough. He left Oxford at the head of four hundred horses, on the 24th November. When he arrived, he chose to parley first, thus giving the inhabitants a chance to prepare defences and to recruit troops. They mustered about seven hundred poorly-armed men. At this point, the Town issued a reply to Digby. “The King’s Majesty” he declared, “providing he were attended in Royal and not in war like wise, should be as welcome to that Town as ever was Prince to People; but as to delivering up the good Town of Marlborough to such a traitor as Lord Digby … they would sooner die”. After some early skirmishes, Royalist troops infiltrated the Town down its small alleyways. The Town was captured and looted and many buildings were set ablaze. One hundred and twenty prisoners were marched in chains to Oxford. The Town was later abandoned by the King and took no further part in the war.
* On 28 April 1653, the Great Fire of Marlborough burnt two hundred and fifty houses to the ground.[citation needed] Fire swept through the Town again in 1679 and again in 1690. This time, an Act of Parliament was passed “to prohibit the covering of houses and other buildings with thatch in the Town of Marlborough”.[7]
* In 1689, William III created Sir John Churchill, the distinguished Army general, Earl of Marlborough. In 1702, William’s successor, Queen Anne created Churchill Duke of Marlborough.
* Nobel Prize winning author William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies, grew up in the town. Golding lived on a house in the Green. Golding was educated at the former Marlborough Grammar School, where his father was a science master.
In 2004, Marlborough Live celebrated 800 years of its Town Charter, among the celebrations was a street play by the Marlborough Players entitled “Wheels of Time” and a visit from HRH Prince Charles. During the rebuilding of the town after the Great Fire of Marlborough in 1653 which destroyed almost the entire town, the high street became what is claimed to be the widest in England. This allows ample space for a local market which is held twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Every summer the town holds a jazz festival with local pubs, clubs, hotels and various other venues playing host to live jazz music over the course of a weekend. Every October the high street is closed for the two Saturdays either side of 11 October for the Marlborough Mop Fair. This was originally a hiring fair for agricultural workers seeking employment but now has become a funfair. The right of the town to close the road to hold the fair is set down in the Charter.
On the north side of the high street is the Merchant’s House, which is currently under restoration but part of which is open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays in summer. The house was built following the Great Fire of 1653. It was the property of a silk merchant and, rarely for a house of this type in a town centre, still retains its original room pattern. Of great interest are the wall paintings recently uncovered, which are undergoing careful conservation. One room painted in a striped pattern, copying silk hangings, is perhaps unique in Great Britain.

Fun Ideas To Abide By When You Are Installing New Laminate Floors
Filed Under Miscellaneous | Comments Off
For a few floors that are over twenty-five feet ( 7.6 meters ) wide or more than forty feet ( 12.2 meters ) long, additional expansion joints might be required. The space amid bordering rooms and doorways might need enlargement joints. A T-molding ought to be used to conceal the enlargement joint. Installation ought to be done at 70 degrees of sixty five degrees F.
When there is an obstacle,eg a pipe, in or round the area where you are adding laminate panels, allow a gap around the obstacles as you would while installing next to a wall. You’ll need to gauge the area first, next precut the panel. Since there might be condensation around the pipe, when you cut the panel, allow sufficient room so that the panel will stay dry. It’s also a smart idea to treat the uncovered edge of the panel so that it does not gather condensation. The perfect system to prevent condensation is to fill up the space around the pipe with caulking ; which will guarantee protection for the exposed panel.
As you lay the 1st row, measure the row thoroughly prior to laying the 1st panel. The measurement lengthwise of the first panel should be cut according to that of the last panel. Measure for straightness then cut the panels. Be sure the inner edge of the first row of panels is square before you start the second row. It is advised to gauge the last row for the panel width first, then cut the 1st row of panels matching to the width as the last row of panels ; it is recommended not less than two inches. Place the first row of panels against one wall, and remember to leave sufficient space for growth between the panel and the wall. The ends of the panels should be locked together till the 1st row is finished. To help keep your new laminate floors clean use a steam floor cleaner.
To install the second row of panels, first off, ensure that the 1st panel of the second row is long enough in order for the ends of the second row panels to reach past the end seams of the first row of panels. It is usually recommended that you utilize the remaining part of the final panel of the first row for the 1st panel of the second row ( provided the panel is long enough ). The 1st panel of the second row should be lined up so that the outside end is even with the outside end of the first panel of the first row. Lock it in place then lay the remainder of the panels of the row ; initially lock the long side in place ; then tap the end of the panel to slip it tightly into place at the end. To help keep your floors clean try using a steam floor cleaner.

Buying and Caring for a High Quality Holiday Dog Collar
Filed Under Miscellaneous | Comments Off
Buying a Quality Holiday Dog Collar is a Good Investmetn
Buying a seasonal or plaid dog collar for the holidays might seem frivolous, but if you choose a good quality collar, it can last for many years. Holiday dog collars can make great gifts for your dog or for dogs that belong to your friends and family. There are a few simple things that will help you purchase a seasonal dog collar that will stand the test of time (and look great too).
How to Choose a Collar That Will Last For Years
· Look for holiday dog collars made of high quality materials. That means the nylon webbing should be soft, supple, and free of damage. Materials should be color fast to avoid staining or bleeding onto a dog’s coat. Hardware should be rust-free.
· Make sure the collar fits. Ill-fitting collars are uncomfortable and unsafe. You should be able to put two fingers between the fastened collar and your dog’s neck. Leave some room for your dog to gain (or lose) weight.
· Buy your seasonal dog collar (and all your collars and leashes) from manufacturers that offer guarantees against defects in workmanship and materials.
· Inspect the collar regularly for wear and tear.
Washing Will Extend the Life Of Your Holiday Collar
Once you purchase a christmas dog collar, taking good care of it will extend its life. When it gets dirty, clean your collar with warm (not hot) water and a bit of mild detergent. Some collars are machine washable, so check the label. Lay collars flat until they dry. Pack a clean collar away at the end of the holiday season so it will be ready to wear the following year.

What linguistic challenges does your language pose. part 5
Filed Under Miscellaneous | Comments Off
German to English
What about Sentence Structure? Aside from my occasional struggles with certain individual terminology, nothing has giving me more of a challenge than the difference between German and English sentence structures. Surely, restructuring the word order would not be as hard were it not for the all important theme/rheme considerations. This has been particularly difficult with some of the long-winded legal texts where slight changes in the word order can lead to slight, but significant changes in the overall message.
German-Swedish
Understanding passive as imperative. When translating from German into Swedish, I now and then encounter a problem with understanding the passive German tense.
For instance, quite often a technical text doesn’t include clear imperative instructions like “Check value A to judge if you need to stop the machine”, but rather “The value A has to be checked in order to judge if the machine needs to be stopped”. So the problem is who is supposed to check this. The reader of the text? Or should he/she get some expert to do this for him/her? Just like in English, in Swedish we often have clear instructions about who is going to do what in order to get this or that. German, otherwise a very precise language, isn’t that clear in this aspect. Very often the “pure” imperative is avoided in German, and passive is used instead.
Check out our German Translation Services website.
Another problem is an illogical order of different actions: “Press button A and then B. Before doing so, please check if the temperature is below 50 centrigrades”. For my understanding, it would be much better (and most technical writers would agree, I think), to structure the sentences in the same order as the actions have to be carried out. But this would be a life task.
German to Swedish (reply)
Quote ‘I now and then encounter a problem with understanding the passive German tense’.Reply ‘Wouldn’t that be a fault on the writer’s part?’
Reply to above:
Well, it’s not really seen as a fault, rather than a standard style used to “keep a certain level” - nobody seems to care if the message is confused! Apart from many passive constructions, in German texts you find very many nouns (originally from verbs) which often need to be translated as verbs.
Check out our German Translation Services website.
Example of garbled German (badly translated, but shows the case with noun): “The opening of this door is forbidden”
This needs to be translated at “It is forbidden to open this door”, or “You may not open this door” etc.
From my point of view, the written German in manuals and other documents is very focused on nouns and passive forms, and doesn’t have much in common with the standard spoken language.
These tips are brought to you by Translation Services UK who also offer a free translation service on their website. Remember, if you are going to get your document(s) translated then printed please make sure you use people and NOT software.

Choosing the Right Roof Adds Value to Your Home
Filed Under Miscellaneous | Comments Off
When it comes to your roof you must first have an idea of what you want. Keep the style of your house in mind when selecting the right look and material for your particular house. Details like whether you live in a small house with a simple roof line, or a large house with complicated dormers and elevations. Consider also whether you use a wood stove or have a fireplace in your house as this will effect your homeowner insurance rates.
Northern Virginia Roofing has been doing Vienna VA roofing and commercial roofing projects in the DC metro area for more than 40 years.
Next comes durability and external appeal. The roof needs to have the strength and the durability to withstand something like a tree falling onto it or a heavy snowfall. Do not fall prey to the discounts associated with cheap offers. A strong and durable roof should be your first choice because you don’t want to discover in just a few years that decay has set in because short cuts were taken and inferior materials were used.
Choose a roofing contractor who has been in the business for enough years to have built up a solid reputation, and is committed to providing good, fair value for the amount of money you will spend. Select a company who will listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and provide complete and easily understood quotes.
Surely most of us want the confidence of knowing that our substantial investment is protected for the long term. Quick fixes are usually not the best solution. It is always better to choose quality than settle for something less just to save a few dollars. After all, your roof protects everything and everyone inside your home.
