Compass Box is a producer, bottler and marketer of a range of blended Scotch whiskies.
 The company is headquartered in Chiswick.
 Compass Box Whisky was founded in 2000 by American entrepreneur John Glaser, a former marketing director at Johnnie Walker.
 Their main product line, called the Signature Range, consists of whiskies named 'The Spice Tree', 'The Peat Monster', 'Oak Cross', 'Asyla' and 'Hedonism'.
 Outside the Signature Range, they produce a range of Blended Scotch whiskies called 'Great King Street', within which there are two products: 'Artist's Blend' (a rich, round, fruity blend) and 'Glasgow Blend' (a bold, smoky, sherried whisky made in the style historically favoured by Glaswegians).
 They have also released several Limited Edition releases, such as 'Hedonism Maximus', 'Flaming Heart', 'Optimism', 'Morpheus' and the Canto Cask series.
 Apart from whiskies, they also produce 'Orangerie', made from whisky infused with orange zest and spices.
In aviation, aircraft compass turns are turns made in an aircraft using only a magnetic compass for guidance.
Anthony Charles Lynton Blair (born 6 May 1953) is a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2 May 1997 to 27 June 2007 and Leader of the Labour Party from 21 July 1994 to 24 June 2007.
 He previously served as Leader of the Opposition from 21 July 1994 to 2 May 1997.
 He is the most recent British Labour Party leader to have won a general election.
A Brunton compass, properly known as the Brunton Pocket Transit, is a type of precision compass made by Brunton, Inc. of Riverton, Wyoming.
 The instrument was patented in 1894 by a Canadian-born Colorado geologist named David W. Brunton.
 Unlike most modern compasses, the Brunton Pocket Transit utilizes magnetic induction damping rather than fluid to damp needle oscillation.
 Although Brunton Inc. makes many other types of magnetic compasses, the Brunton Pocket Transit is a specialized instrument used widely by those needing to make accurate degree and angle measurements in the field.
 These people are primarily geologists, but archaeologists, environmental engineers, and surveyors also make use of the Brunton's capabilities.
 The United States Army has adopted the Pocket Transit as the M2 Compass for use by crew-served artillery.
Compass was launched in 2003 with the publication of a founding statement called "A Vision for the Democratic Left".
 Supported by a number of academics and Labour politicians unhappy with the political direction of prime minister Tony Blair this was the first attempt by Compass to develop a more coherent and radical programme for a Labour government.
 Since then it has published pamphlets and a series of booklets as part of its Programme for Renewal charting an alternative path for left governments and for Centre-Left activists in the UK.
A beam compass is a compass with a beam and sliding sockets or cursors for drawing and dividing circles larger than those made by a regular pair of compasses.
 The instrument can be as a whole, or made on the spot with individual sockets (called trammel points) and any suitable beam.
Magnetic dip, dip angle, or magnetic inclination is the angle made with the horizontal by the Earth's magnetic field lines.
 This angle varies at different points on the Earth's surface.
 Positive values of inclination indicate that the magnetic field of the Earth is pointing downward, into the Earth, at the point of measurement, and negative values indicate that it is pointing upward.
 The dip angle is in principle the angle made by the needle of a vertically held compass, though in practice ordinary compass needles may be weighted against dip or may be unable to move freely in the correct plane.
 The value can be measured more reliably with a special instrument typically known as a dip circle.
A sailor's valentine is a form of shellcraft, a type of mostly antique souvenir, or sentimental gift made using large numbers of small seashells.
 These were originally made between 1830 and 1890, and they were designed to be brought home from a sailor's voyage at sea and given to the sailor's loved one or loved ones.
 Sailor valentines are typically octagonal, glass fronted, hinged wooden boxes ranging from 8 to in width, displaying intricate symmetrical designs composed entirely of small sea shells of various colors glued onto a backing.
 Patterns often feature a centerpiece such as a compass rose or a heart design, hence the name, and in some cases the small shells are used to spell out a motto or sentimental message.
The compass was invented more than 2000 years ago.
 The last compasses were made of lodestone, a naturally magnetized ore of iron, in Han dynasty China between 300 and 200 BC.
 The compass was later used for navigation by the Song Dynasty.
 Later compasses were made of iron needles, magnetized by striking them with a lodestone.
 Dry compasses begin appearing around 1300 in Medieval Europe and the Islamic world.
 This was replaced in the early 20th century by the liquid-filled magnetic compass.
Robert Hues (1553 – 24 May 1632) was an English mathematician and geographer.
 He attended St. Mary Hall at Oxford, and graduated in 1578.
 Hues became interested in geography and mathematics, and studied navigation at a school set up by Walter Raleigh.
 During a trip to Newfoundland, he made observations which caused him to doubt the accepted published values for variations of the compass.
 Between 1586 and 1588, Hues travelled with Thomas Cavendish on a circumnavigation of the globe, performing astronomical observations and taking the latitudes of places they visited.
 Beginning in August 1591, Hues and Cavendish again set out on another circumnavigation of the globe.
 During the voyage, Hues made astronomical observations in the South Atlantic, and continued his observations of the variation of the compass at various latitudes and at the Equator.
 Cavendish died on the journey in 1592, and Hues returned to England the following year.
