Breed standard (dogs): A breed standard (also called bench standard or the standard) in the dog fancy is a set of guidelines covering specific "externally observable" qualities such as "appearance", "movement", and "temperament" for that dog breed.  Breed standards are not scientific documents, but are written for each breed by clubs of hobbyists called breed clubs for their own specific requirements.  Details and definitions within breed standards for a specific dog breed may vary from breed club to breed club and from country to country.  Dog breed standards are similar in form and function to breed standards for other domesticated animals.

He began his public service to the colony in 1698, selected as a Deputy from Providence, and served in that capacity for a majority of the years until 1728.

Death of Diane Whipple: Diane Alexis Whipple (January 21, 1968 – January 26, 2001) was a lacrosse player and college coach.  She was killed in a dog attack in San Francisco on January 26, 2001.  The dogs involved were two Presa Canarios: a male named Bane and a female named Hera.  Paul Schneider, the dogs' owner, is a high-ranking member of the Aryan Brotherhood and is serving a life sentence in state prison.  The dogs were cared for by Schneider's husband-and-wife attorneys, Robert Noel and Marjorie Knoller, who lived in the same apartment building as Diane Whipple.  After the fatal attack, the state brought criminal charges against the attorneys.  Robert Noel, who was not present during the attack, was convicted of manslaughter.  Marjorie Knoller, who was present, was charged with implied-malice second-degree murder and convicted by the jury.  Knoller's murder conviction, an unusual result for an unintended dog attack, was rejected by the trial judge but ultimately upheld.  The case clarified the meaning of implied malice murder.

Arnold Mills Historic District: Arnold Mills Historic District is a historic district encompassing a modest 19th-century mill village in eastern Cumberland, Rhode Island.  The district lies along the Nate Whipple Highway (Rhode Island Route 120) and Sneech Pond Road, south of the Arnold Mills Reservoir.  Sneech Pond Road was formerly the major east-west highway through the area prior to the construction of the Nate Whipple Highway in the 1960s.  The Arnold Mills village is in part bisected by Abbott Run, the stream which serves as the outlet of the reservoir; Sneech Pond Road crosses the run on an early 20th-century steel Pratt pony truss, now closed to vehicular traffic.  The houses along this road generally date from the late 18th to mid-19th century, and mainly reflect Federal and Greek Revival styling.  The most prominent structure in the district is the Arnold Mills United Methodist Church, located at the western end of the district on Nate Whipple Highway; it was built 1825-27 and remodeled in 1846.

Conformation (dog): Conformation in dogs refers solely to the externally visible details of a dog's structure and appearance, as defined in detail by each dog breed's written breed standard.  A dog that "conforms" to most of the items of description in its individual breed standard is said to have "good conformation".  Unlike equine conformation, there are no fixed rules for dog conformation, as dogs are the most variable in appearance of any animals ("Phenotypic variation among dog breeds, whether it be in size, shape, or behavior, is greater than for any other animal").  Instead, conformation in dogs is based on the dog type from which the breed developed, along with many details that have been added to the breed standard for purposes of differentiation from other breeds, for working reasons, or for enhancing the beauty of the animals from the viewpoint of the fanciers who wrote the breed standards.
