List of cat breeds 
 The list includes breeds that are old traditional breeds, and also rare breeds or new breeds that are still being developed.
Grave (mass) 
 Grave, shortened as gv, was the word that was used to describe mass before the word kilogram was introduced.
Grave (mass) 
 In order to have full consistency in the International System of Units (SI), many people think that the kilogram should be called something different.
Grave (mass) 
 Using the word kilogram creates a problem because it is a base unit that has the prefix "kilo" already in its name.
The Smiths 
 The band consisted of Morrissey (singing), Johnny Marr (guitar), Andy Rourke (bass) and Mike Joyce (drums).
The Smiths 
 Critics have called them the most important alternative rock band to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s.
The Smiths 
 Q magazine writer Simon Goddard wrote that The Smiths were the one truly important group of the 1980s, "the most influential British guitar group of the decade" and the first independent group to become successful in the main music scene.
The Smiths 
 On this, they released four studio albums: The Smiths (1984), Meat Is Murder (1985), The Queen Is Dead (1986) and Strangeways, Here We Come'' (1987).
The Smiths 
 They have also released several compilations, and many singles that were not released on any of their studio albums.
The Smiths 
 This sounded very different to the synthesiser-based contemporary dance pop that was popular in the early 1980s.
The Smiths 
 Marr's guitar playing on his Rickenbacker often had a jangly sound influenced by Roger McGuinn of the 1960s group The Byrds.
Countdown (game show) 
 It is currently presented by Anne Robinson and Rachel Riley; etymologist Susie Dent is in the dictionary corner.
Countdown (game show) 
 It was hosted by Richard Whiteley until his death in 2005, then by Des Lynam from 2005 to 2006, and then by Des O'Connor from 2007 to 2008.
Countdown (game show) 
 Both O'Connor and Carol Vorderman, the show's co-host, who had been on the programme since it began, left the show in December 2008.
Countdown (game show) 
 With over 7,000 episodes, it is one of the longest-running game shows in the world, along with the original French version Des chiffres et des lettres which has been running on French television continuously since 1972.
Countdown (game show) 
 Countdown originated from the format of the French game show Des chiffres et des lettres (Numbers and Letters), created by Armand Jammot.
Countdown (game show) 
 After watching the programme, Belgian record executive Marcel Stellman brought the format to Britain on the belief it could be popular overseas, and proposed his concept for the British version to several networks.
Countdown (game show) 
 The concept was purchased in the early 1980s by Yorkshire Television, which commissioned a series of eight shows under the title Calendar Countdown, aimed at being a spin-off of their regional news programme Calendar with the programme's host deemed the natural choice for the concept.
Countdown (game show) 
 The spin-off was aired only in the Yorkshire area, with Whiteley earning the nickname of "Twice Nightly Whiteley" because of his daily appearances on both programmes.
Countdown (game show) 
 He was assisted by Cathy Hytner and Denise McFarland-Cruickshanks, who handled the letters and numbers rounds respectively.
Countdown (game show) 
 By 1982, after an additional pilot episode was made with a refined format – an episode that was never broadcast - the gameshow was bought up by Channel 4, a new British television channel set to launch in November 1982, based on the refined concept.
Countdown (game show) 
 While Whiteley and Hytner from the original cast were retained, the programme was renamed Countdown, with the format was expanded to include additional members in the hosting team, including letters and number experts.
Countdown (game show) 
 An additional spin-off to the programme for young contestants was proposed at the time, dubbed Junior Countdown – the concept would be similar in format, but with it hosted by Gyles Brandreth and Ted Moult – but while a pilot was created, the proposal was abandoned after it was found to be highly flawed.
Countdown (game show) 
 Instead, the production staff opted to allow contestants of differing ages, young and old, to participate on Countdown.
Countdown (game show) 
 The game show and its first episode were the first to be broadcast when the channel launched, with Whiteley opening the programme with the line:
Countdown (game show) 
 Alongside the original cast from Calendar Countdown, the new format of the gameshow led to production staff seeking out further hostesses through advertisement in national newspapers for young women to become a member of the programme's cast, with notable conditions about their involvement; in particular, those recruited for calculations found it made clear that as an applicant, their appearance would be less important than their skill as a mathematician.<ref>], on the advertisement to which Vorderman responded.
Countdown (game show) 
 Retrieved 6 July 2006.</ref> Amongst those recruited, Beverley Isherwood was hired to work alongside Hytner in handling the selection of number and letter tiles respectively, while Linda Barrett and Carol Vorderman were recruited for checking over calculations by contestants in the numbers round.
Countdown (game show) 
 In addition, a lexicographer was also required to form part of the format's "Dictionary Corner" segment of the game show, in order to verify words given by contestants in the letters round (see Letters round rules), along with pointing out any longer or otherwise interesting words available; such a role was aided by the show's producers, with no assistance from any computer program, and the role accompanied by a celebrity guest for a set period on the programme – contributing words and providing entertainment through anecdotes, puzzles, poems and stories.
Countdown (game show) 
 Amongst these who have appeared on the programme are Nigel Rees, Jo Brand, Martin Jarvis, Richard Digance, Geoffrey Durham, Ken Bruce, Magnus Magnusson, Pam Ayres, Paul Zenon, Jenny Eclair, Al Murray, John Sergeant and Gyles Brandreth.
Countdown (game show) 
 Over time, the additional hostesses on the programme were dropped by production staff, who retained Vorderman and assigned her primarily to handle the selection of letter and number tiles, as well as verifying contestant calculations.
Countdown (game show) 
 The programme frequently rotated between various lexicographers, including Richard Samson and Alison Heard, for each series, until in 2004 the role was permanently given to Susie Dent, after her debut on Countdown in 1992.
Countdown (game show) 
 His death impacted the show, causing the episode for that day to be taken off the air by Channel 4 as a mark of respect, while the remaining episodes he had managed to complete were aired after his death, beginning with a tearful tribute from Vorderman.
Countdown (game show) 
 After the series' conclusion, Countdown was placed into hiatus on 1 July to determine how to proceed.
Countdown (game show) 
 In October 2005, Channel 4 announced that Des Lynam would take over as the main presenter, having previously participated in the celebrity edition (Celebrity Countdown) in April 1998.
Countdown (game show) 
 Lynam's tenure ran until December 2006, whereupon his demanding filming schedule forced him to resign from the programme.
Countdown (game show) 
 His departure was due to the travel requirements that his 2007 schedule required of him; despite an effort by Channel 4 to deal with this by changing the filming location from Leeds to a site closer to his residence in Worthing, West Sussex, viewers reacted angrily to the idea, while Lynam decided it would cause considerable disruption for many of the programme's camera crew.
Countdown (game show) 
 During his tenure as host, Dent went on maternity leave over the winter of 2007–08, and Alison Heard temporarily replaced her on the programme until 6 February 2008.
Countdown (game show) 
 By July 2008, both O'Connor and Vorderman had announced that they would be leaving by the end of that year, after the end of the 59th series.
Countdown (game show) 
 While O'Connor was forced to leave in order to concentrate on other projects, Vorderman left after her offer to take a 33% salary decrease was rejected and production staff asked her to take a 90% pay cut; her agent stated that staff had told him that the show had survived without Whiteley and could "easily survive without you".
Countdown (game show) 
 Some media reports suggested that the new presenter would be either Rory Bremner, the early favourite, or Alexander Armstrong, but both ruled themselves out of the job.
Countdown (game show) 
 At the same time there was speculation that several prominent women, including Anthea Turner, Ulrika Jonsson and Myleene Klass, were strong candidates to take over Vorderman's job, but Channel 4 revealed that the role was to be assigned to a previously unknown male or female arithmetician with "charm and charisma".
Countdown (game show) 
 In November 2008, Jeff Stelling was confirmed as the new host, while Oxford maths graduate Rachel Riley was confirmed as Vorderman's replacement.
Countdown (game show) 
 Stelling remained with the programme until the end of 2011, when his football commitments with Sky Sports forced him to reluctantly leave Countdown.
Countdown (game show) 
 Prior to his departure, The Apprentice star Nick Hewer was announced as his replacement, and he took over as the main presenter when his first episode aired on 9 January 2012.
Countdown (game show) 
 In 2020, during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it was announced that Colin Murray, a frequent Dictionary Corner guest, would fill in for Hewer while he spent a period of time in isolation due to the UK's second lockdown.
Countdown (game show) 
 On 7 December 2020 Hewer announced that he would be stepping down as the host of Countdown at the end of series 83 in summer 2021.

 It was then announced on 15 February 2021 that Anne Robinson would take over from Hewer at the start of series 84.
Countdown (game show) 
 The first intro after the beginning of Countdown in 1982 was a black background with the words Countdown in yellow.
Countdown (game show) 
 After this, it was blue until the late 80s/early 90s, COUNT DOWN with the background having letters and numbers (until the mid 90s), then a yellow triangle with Countdown in Red.
Countdown (game show) 
 From 1999, the clock appeared for the first time in the Countdown intro, the background was into a mash of pink and orange, and COUNTDOWN in white under the clock.
Countdown (game show) 
 This continued until 2001 when the current clock and letters 'Countdown' were introduced, until 2003, there were montages of the show in front of the tangerine set.
Countdown (game show) 
 After Whiteley died in 2005, the Lynam and O'Connor series had letters spitting out of the clock in the same colour form, eventually merging into 'Countdown'.
Countdown (game show) 
 With the introduction of Stelling in 2009, the background changed to blue and the letters continued to spit out of the clock.
Countdown (game show) 
 In 2012, the background once again changed to dark blue and the intro would start with a globe of letters and numbers breaking, and then later merging into Countdown, just as it did since the early 2000s.
Countdown (game show) 
 CharacterCountdown quickly established cult status within British television – an image which it maintains today, despite the loss of key presenters.
Countdown (game show) 
 The programme's audience comprises mainly students, homemakers and pensioners, owing to the "teatime" broadcast slot and inclusive appeal of its format and presentation.
Countdown (game show) 
 Countdown has been one of Channel 4's most-watched programmes for over twenty years, but has never won a major television award.
Countdown (game show) 
 When Des Lynam became the new presenter after Whiteley's death in 2005, the show regularly drew an average 1.7 million viewers every day; this was around half a million more than in the last few years of Richard Whiteley presenting.
Countdown (game show) 
 The drop in viewing figures following the scheduling change, coupled with the show's perceived educational benefits, even caused Labour Member of Parliament (MP) Jonathan Shaw to table a motion in the UK Parliament, requesting that the show be returned to its later time.
Countdown (game show) 
 Minor scheduling changes have subsequently seen the show move from 15:15 to 15:30, 15:45, 15:25 and 15:10.
Countdown (game show) 
 On each episode, the prize for defeating the reigning champion is a teapot that is styled to resemble the 30-second time clock used in each round.
Countdown (game show) 
 Introduced in December 1998, the pot is custom-made and can only be obtained by winning a game on the programme.
Countdown (game show) 
 At first, the prize for the series winner was a leather-bound copy of the twenty-volume Oxford English Dictionary, worth over £4,000.
Countdown (game show) 
 Since 2011, the prize consists of ordinary hardback twenty-one-volume dictionaries, a laptop computer and a lifetime subscription to Oxford Online (replaced by a MacBook pro laptop by series 68).
Countdown (game show) 
 David Acton, winner of Series 31, opted for a CD-ROM version of the dictionaries, not wanting to accept leather-bound books owing to his strict veganism, and he donated the monetary difference to charity.
Countdown (game show) 
 Since Series 54 in 2006, the series champion also receives the Richard Whiteley Memorial Trophy, in memory of the show's original presenter.
Countdown (game show) 
 Though the style and colour scheme of the set have changed many times (and the show itself moved to Manchester, after more than 25 years in Leeds), the clock has always provided the centrepiece and, like the clock music composed by Alan Hawkshaw, is an enduring and well-recognised feature of Countdown.
Countdown (game show) 
 Executive producer John Meade once commissioned Hawkshaw to revise the music for extra intensity to introduce at the start of series 31 in January 1996; after hundreds of complaints from viewers, the old tune was reinstated after just 12 shows.
Countdown (game show) 
 The first episode of Countdown was repeated on 1 October 2007 on More4 and also on 2 November 2007 on Channel 4; this was as part of Channel 4 at 25, a season of programmes to celebrate its 25th birthday.

Countdown (game show) 
 At the end of the series, the eight best players (ranked first by number of wins, then by total score if required to break a tie) are invited back to compete in the series finals.
Countdown (game show) 
 They are seeded in a knockout tournament, with the first seed playing the eighth seed, the second playing the seventh, and so on.
Countdown (game show) 
 For this, sixteen of the best players to have appeared since the previous Championship are invited back for another knockout tournament.
Countdown (game show) 
 The producer, former contestant Damian Eadie, decides which players to include, but typically the tournament includes the series winners and other noteworthy contestants.
Countdown (game show) 
 Series 33 was designated a "Supreme Championship", in which 56 of the best contestants from all the previous series returned for another knockout tournament.
Countdown (game show) 
 Series 10 champion Harvey Freeman was declared Supreme Champion after beating Allan Saldanha in the final.
Countdown (game show) 
 For example, David Acton and Kenneth Michie returned for a rematch of their Series 31 final, while brothers and former contestants Sanjay and Sandeep Mazumder played off against each other on 20 December 2004.
Countdown (game show) 
 Since the change to 45-minute episodes, the game has been split into three sections, separated by advertising breaks.
Countdown (game show) 
 The first section contains two letters rounds and a numbers round, the second has two letters rounds and a numbers round followed by the anecdote from the Dictionary Corner guest and then a further two letters rounds and a numbers round, while the last section has two letters rounds, Susie Dent's "Origins of Words" item, two further letters rounds, a numbers round and a final "Conundrum" puzzle.
Countdown (game show) 
 With the exception of the Conundrum, the contestants swap control after every round so that each of them has control for five letters rounds and two numbers rounds.
Countdown (game show) 
 At the end of the first two sections, Each presenter poses a Teatime Teaser'' for the viewers, giving a set of short words and a cryptic clue to a single word that can be anagrammed from them.
Countdown (game show) 
 Example: Given the words HAD SAIL and the clue "Flowers seen 7 times a week," the solution would be DAHLIAS, given the words GON GOLD and the clue "A greyhound at full stretch, perhaps," the solution would be LONGDOG, given the words NUDE LUMP and the clue "It helps you get into the swing of things," the solution would be PENDULUM, given the words WOECALLS and the clue "This is something for you to chew over," the solution would be COLESLAW, given the words ICYHINGE and the clue "It's the condition of good clean fun," the solution would be HYGIENIC, and given the words SAD MOODY and the clue "We'll all be sad and moody when this arrives," the solution would be DOOMSDAY.)
Countdown (game show) 
 When the Teatime Teaser was first introduced, the anagrams were seven letters long; they were later extended to eight, then to nine in late 2016 before returning to 8 in 2020.
Allotheria 
 The most important characteristic was the presence of lower molariform teeth with two longitudinal rows of cusps.
Allotheria 
 Allotheres also had a narrow pelvis, indicating that they gave birth to tiny, helpless young as marsupials do.
Allotheria 
 The Haramiyida from the Triassic period were the earliest group, and the Multituberculates survived until the Oligocene, 35 million years ago.
Multituberculate 
 The multituberculates were a group of rodent-like mammals which survived for about 166 million years – the longest fossil history of any mammal line.
Multituberculate 
 These species occupied many  ecological niches, ranging from burrow-dwelling to squirrel-like tree-dwelling.
Multituberculate 
 Multituberculates are usually placed outside both the two main groups of living mammals, the Theria (placentals and marsupials), and monotremes.
Multituberculate 
 They had cheek-teeth separated from the chisel-like front teeth by a wide tooth-less gap (called the diastema).
Multituberculate 
 Each cheek-tooth displayed several rows of small cusps (or tubercles, hence the name) which worked against similar rows in the teeth of the jaw.
Multituberculate 
 Most small multituberculates would have eaten seeds and nuts, supplemented with insects, worms, and fruit.
Multituberculate 
 The structure of the pelvis in the Multituberculata suggests that they gave birth to tiny helpless young, similar to modern marsupials.
Gondwanatheria 
 Gondwanatheria is an extinct group of mammals that lived during the Upper Cretaceous to the Miocene.
Gondwanatheria 
 They lived in the Southern Hemisphere continents which had been part of the supercontinent Gondwana.
Gondwanatheria 
 It was thought previously that climate changes at the Eocene–Oligocene boundary had caused their extinction.
Gondwanatheria 
 Fossils have come from South America, India and Antarctica, where gondwanatherids lived in the lush forests which once covered much of the world.
Taichung City 
 Taichung City ( or ; POJ: Tâi-tiong) is a city in west-central Taiwan with a population of over 2.7 million people, making it the second largest city on the island.
Taichung City 
 The average temperature of Taichung City is about 23°C, and average rainfall is about 1.7 m per year.
Majuro 
 The atoll of Majuro has a land area of only 3.75 mi² (9.7 km²), and is surrounded by lagoon of 113.92 mi² (295 km²).
Majuro 
 During World War II, on January 30, 1944, United States troops attacked Majuro (controlled by Japan).
South Tarawa 
 The South Tarawa population center is made up of all the small islands between Bairiki (on the west) to Temaiku on the east.
South Tarawa 
 All of separated islands are joined by causeways, forming one long island on the reef along the southern side of the Tarawa Lagoon.
South Tarawa 
 Bairiki is sometimes considered the capital of Kiribati because at one time both the Parliament, the Presidency and main administrative offices were located there.
South Tarawa 
 The Parliament meets on Ambo island; Government department are spread among South Tarawa, Betio and Christmas Island.
Bairiki 
 Bairiki is a village and an island now part of South Tarawa, and one time is the center of government of Kiribati.
Bairiki 
 Bairiki includes the main administrative center of Kiribati, but the Parliament has since moved to Ambo, halfway between Bairiki and Bonriki.
Bairiki 
 In the village there is a small port and near Bairiki is a center of the University of the South Pacific.
Audio engineer 
 An audio engineer (or simply engineer for short) is a person who operates, and usually chooses and sets up recording equipment.
Audio engineer 
 The term applies mainly to a person who works in a recording studio but can also apply to people who do the same kind of work, in other places.
Audio engineer 
 Audio engineering deals with the recording and reproduction of sound through mechanical and electronic  means and is a part of audio science.
Audio engineer 
 An audio engineer is closer to the creative and technical aspects of audio than an acoustical engineer.
Audio engineer 
 Some amateur (and a few professional) engineers are self-taught, and learn mostly by doing, or with the help of an instruction manual.
Audio engineer 
 Many engineers started in other studio jobs (such as running errands), and learned about recording as they became familiar with the studio where they worked.
Audio engineer 
 An engineer learns about the use and placement of microphones, how to operate and maintain an audio mixer, recording deck, sound effects, and other machines, and how to switch between live and recorded sounds, to make the best, and often the most unique, recording possible.
Audio engineer 
 A good engineer will strive to make recordings that are both of high technical quality, and also pleasing to hear.
Audio engineer 
 Some engineers are paid a salary, while others may earn hourly pay (sometimes based on the studio's rates), or be paid per session.
Audio engineer 
 Many go on to start their own recording studios, or maintain a private studio or mobile recording service.
Audio engineer 
 Several colleges and universities in the United States and other countries offer classes in recording, which may cover its history, its uses, and of course technique and technical knowledge.
Audio engineer 
 Graduating such a program does not guarantee a person a studio job, but increases one's chances, and can provide better preparation for such a career.
