The most important difference with the other orders is the big capital (top part of the column), which is decorated with leaves and scrolls.
The oldest known example of a Corinthian column is in the Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae in Arcadia, ca 450–420 BC.
This column stands inside the temple and does not form part of the wall.
The oldest use of the Corinthian order on the outside of a structure is the round Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens.
It was put in place around 334 BC.

The Wellington Monument is an obelisk in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland.
It is also called "Wellington Testimonial" because it was built while Wellington was still alive.
The monument is in the southeast of the Park.
It is near Kilmainham and the River Liffey.
The obelisk is  tall.
It is the largest obelisk in Europe.
The monument was built to celebrate the victories of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.
It was designed by the architect Sir Robert Smirke.
Building was started in 1817.
In 1820 they ran out of money.
It was not finished until 1861 when it was opened to the public.
There were also plans for a statue of Wellesley on a horse  in front of it.
This was never built.
Features of the Testimonial
There are four bronze plaques on the bottom part of the monument.
Three have pictures about Wellington's career, the fourth has text.
The pictures are 'Civil and Religious Liberty' by John Hogan, 'Waterloo' by Thomas Farrell and the 'Indian Wars' by Joseph Robinson Kirk.
The text reads:
Asia and Europe, saved by thee, proclaim
Invincible in war thy deathless name,
Now round thy brow the civic oak we twine
That every earthly glory may be thine.

Ashtown Castle is a towerhouse in the Phoenix Park in Dublin.
It is now part of the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre.
It is not clear when the castle was first built.
It might date back as far as 1430.
The roof dates from the 17th century.
After the building was made bigger and improved, it was used as the house for the Under Secretary of Ireland from 1782.
In 1922, it became the house for the first United States ambassador to Ireland.
After the ambassador moved to the Chief Secretary's Lodge, the Papal nuncio used the building until 1978 when he moved.
In 1978, the building was in bad shape.
It could not be repaired.
When they started to break down the building, they found the towerhouse inside the bigger building.
It was restored to its old form.

The Chief Secretary for Ireland was the British Cabinet minister with responsibility for Irish affairs.
It was the second most important politician in Ireland, after the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
From the late 18th century and early 19th century onwards the Chief Secretary would also sit in the British cabinet.
Because of this, he was better connected and became more powerful that the Lord Lieutenant.
From 1922, the Irish were no longer ruled by the British king, and the political office disappeared.

Bourbon is a whiskey that is distilled from grain mash containing at least 51% corn and aged a minimum of two years.
It gets its name from Bourbon, Kentucky where most bourbon is produced.
Many bourbons are made using a method called "sour mash" where fermentation of each new batch contains a little of the batch before to achieve a consistent quality.
It means the whisky is distilled in Scotland.
It is usually a blend of malt and grain whiskies, and aged in barrels ('casks') for at least three years (four years for exports).
Single malt scotch is made only from malted barley and no other grain, sugar, or fermentable material.

DNA is in a helix/spiral which helps make the structure of DNA strong and stable.
However, when undergoing DNA replication, the spiral needs to be untwisted, and when spirals are being untwisted knots, and breaks can happen.
When studying the structure of DNA, James D. Watson and Francis Crick knew that there was need for an enzyme to overcome this problem.

Democratic Centralism is a Leninist idea which means that the ruling party (in the case of Russia, the Bolsheviks) would discuss an idea to come up with an answer, and then once an answer was decided discussion would never be allowed again.
Joseph Stalin used this principle to help him rise to power in the 1920s.
In Communist parties the politburo (short for "political bureau") was the group of people that made all decisions of the party.
The Central Committee elected its own members to the Politburo at meetings.
The leader of the politburo was called the General Secretary, and this person was the most powerful person in the party.
A secretariat is the body that keeps a large organization organized.
The Secretariat is the office of the secretary.

Perranzabuloe is a coastal civil parish and a hamlet in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
The hamlet (containing the parish church) is just over a mile (2 km) south of the main settlement of the parish, Perranporth and seven miles (11 km) south-southwest of Newquay.
The parish population was 5,382 in the 2001 census.
The name of the parish comes from the medieval Latin Perranus in Sabulo meaning Piran in the sand.
Piran (the patron saint of Cornwall) was a Christian evangelist who founded a church in the seventh century near the coast north of Perranporth.
The ruins of this church were rediscovered in the 20th century.
The medieval parish church of Perranzabuloe was over a long period completely lost in sand dunes.
A new church had to be built further away from the coast.
Perranporth is a small seaside resort on the north coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom.
It is six miles (10 km) southwest of Newquay and seven miles (11.3 km) northwest of Truro.
Perranporth has a population of 3,066.
and is the largest settlement in the parish of Perranzabuloe.
The village's name is Cornish for Saint Piran's cove.
It is believed that Saint Piran founded a church at Perranzabuloe near Perranporth in the seventh century.
Buried under sand for many centuries, it was unearthed early in the 20th century, but again abandoned in the sands in the 1970s.
Marazion is a town in west Cornwall, United Kingdom.

Dorset was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland twice.
First from 1731 to 1737 and then again from 1751 to 1755.
The Christmas Raid or Magazine fort raid happened on the 23 December 1939.
The Irish Republican Army (IRA) stole a lot of weapons and ammunitions (bullets) from the Irish Army.
Although the theft from the Magazine Fort building in Phoenix Park was successful, most of what was stolen was recovered by the Irish Army a few days later.
Several IRA volunteers were arrested.
Reasons for raid
The reason for the raid was that the IRA had many Thompson submachine guns.
They found it hard to get the .45 ACP bullets used in these guns in Europe.
Because the Irish Army also used the Thompson and had large supplies of bullets, the IRA decided to steal some.
Around 2030 the gate bell rang, and the Military Police officer on guard opened the gate a little for a civilian who said he had a parcel to deliver to the officer-in-charge.
The unidentified man told the MP to open the gate fully and put his hands up.
At this point the IRA team appeared from both inside and outside the fort, confiscating the weapons of the sentry and MP.
The two hostages were then forced to act as human shields for the two intruders to the guardroom where the remaining soldiers were caught by surprise and gave up without a fight.
The captives heard 'many' heavy lorries coming and going from the depot.
At 2210 hrs the IRA locked the prisoners in the so-called 'C' Magazine area which the raiders had completely emptied.
It was 2250 by the time a party of soldiers was sent from Portobello Barracks to find out what was happening at the fort.
They managed to catch two of the raiders.
two and a half tons were found in Dundalk, County Louth,
eight tons in Swords, County Dublin,
sixty-six cases of Thompsons and ammunition in South Armagh (2 and a half tons captured by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC)),
one hundred crates containing 120,000 rounds in Straffan, County Kildare.
What happened after the raid
The raid was not good for the IRA.
The massive hunt to find what was stolen turned up all and more.
It caused IRA Volunteers to be arrested.
The day after the raid the Irish Minister for Justice, Gerald Boland, at an emergency meeting of the Dáil (government) introduced the Emergency Powers bill to allow internment (taking prisoner), Military Tribunal, and executions for IRA members.
It became the Emergency Powers Act.

Vestigial organs are organs of the body which are smaller and simpler than those in related species.
They have lost, or almost lost, their original feature.
Vestigiality is evidence for evolution, since they only make sense if evolution has occurred.
They were one of the puzzles of pre-Darwinian natural history.
The puzzle vanished once biologists realised they once were working adaptations, in the ancestors of present-day animals.
They occur in animals (and plants) which have changed their style of life from their ancestors.
Thus snakes lost their legs as their system of movement changed.
But one type of snake – the boas – have vestigial rear legs and pelvis.
The human vermiform appendix is another example.
That was much larger, and stored microbes which produced cellulase to break down plant cell walls.
Leaves are the main diet of apes, but they are not a main part of man's diet.
Cellulose cannot be digested by our species.
An unused organ usually degenerates, and becomes smaller or vanishes altogether.
Thus amphibia living in dark caves lose their sight and their body colour.
Mutations pile up.
All structures need energy for their development, maintenance, and weight.
This, and the risk of disease in the part (e.g., infection, cancer), provide some selection for the removal of parts which no longer help an organism's fitness.
The human appendix had selection against it because of deaths from appendicitis.
Appendicitis was untreatable until modern times.
The selection pressure was probably weak, because most cases occur after the age of peak fertility.
Observations on the cave-dwelling amphipod Gammarus minus showed active selection against their vestigial eyes.
When mating, the males remain on their females for a week or so after fertilisation, guarding them against other males.
The eye sizes of paired males were compared with those of unpaired males.
The eye sizes of paired males were smaller than the unpaired ones.
Obviously, on average, the paired males would have higher fertility than the unpaired males.
The selection gradient was estimated as –0.30, which means the selection for small eyes was quite strong.
The researchers supposed that the loss of sight freed more of the nervous system to process other sensory inputs.p310
Occasionally, selection turns vestigial organs to a new function.
Thus the mammalian ear ossicles were once bones in the jaw of early proto-mammals, the Therapsida.
The halteres of flies is a perfect example.
The word exaptation was coined for this phenomenon.
All functions and structures develop and change because they affect the biological fitness of the organism.
They make it more or less likely that individuals reproduce and contribute genes to the next generation.
So, for example, an ability of a frog to survive the bite of its local venomous snake increases its fitness.
But if it lives in an area where the snake does not, then it reduces its fitness.
This is because it bears the "cost" of a complicated mechanism without getting any advantage in survival and reproduction.
It works the other way round, too.
Snakes which eat toxic prey have to use ways to survive the prey's toxins.
The snake's digestion and metabolism is slower, and they move around more slowly.
See rough-skinned newt and garter snake.
The name of the village derives from Bottreaux Castle, a 12th-century fortress, of which little survives.
There is no church in Boscastle but there are churches at Forrabury and Minster.
Boscastle harbour is a natural inlet protected by two stone harbour walls built in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville.
The oldest part of Boscastle surrounds the harbour; more modern residential building extends up the valleys of the Rivers Valency and Jordan.
A flash flood on 16 August 2004, caused extensive damage to the village.
Residents were trapped in houses and elsewhere as the roads turned into rivers.
In the largest peacetime rescue operation ever launched in the UK, 91 people were rescued and there were no deaths.
Sir Richard Grenville (1542 – 1591) was an English sailor, sea captain and explorer.
He took part in the early English attempts to settle the New World.
He was in the fight against the Spanish Armada.
He died in 1591 at the Battle of Flores, fighting against overwhelming odds, and refusing to surrender his ship, the Revenge, to the far more numerous Spanish.
Tintagel, formerly Trevena, is a civil parish and village on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom.
It is about 5 miles from Boscastle and 6 miles from Camelford.
The population of the parish is 1,820 people.
The village and nearby Tintagel Castle are associated with the legends surrounding King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table.
The village has, in recent times, become attractive to tourists from many parts of the world and is one of the most-visited places in Britain.
The modern-day village of Tintagel was known as Trevena until the Post Office decided to call it 'Tintagel' in the mid 19th century (until then Tintagel had always been the name of the headland and of the parish).
In the village is the 'Old Post Office', which dates from the 14th century.
It became a post office during the 19th century, and is now owned by the National Trust.
There are three churches in Tintagel, the Anglican church of St Materiana on the cliffs, and Methodist and Roman Catholic churches in the village.
Camelford is a small town in north Cornwall, United Kingdom, in the River Camel valley northwest of Bodmin Moor.
The town is about ten miles (16 km) north of Bodmin and is governed by a town council.
Lanteglos-by-Camelford is the ecclesiastical parish which includes the town.
The A39 road goes through the town centre.
Camelford railway station on the line to Padstow was some distance from the town and closed in 1966.
In July 1988, the water supply to the town and the surrounding area was contaminated when 20 tons of aluminium sulphate was poured into the wrong tank at the nearby Lowermoor Water Treatment Works on Bodmin Moor.
An independent inquiry into the incident (the worst of its kind in British history) was started in 2002, and a draft report issued in January 2005, but there is still concern about long-term effects on the health of local people.

A master's degree is the certificate that students get after they complete their bachelor's degree and continue to study in a university in some specific field.
In other words, a person must first get a bachelor's degree before they can get a master's degree.
People with this degree are considered to possess more advanced knowledge of the field that they had studied, as compared to those who only get a bachelor's degree.
There has recently been an increase in programs leading to these degrees in the United States.
More than twice as many such degrees are now awarded, as compared to the 1970s.
In Europe, most countries offer master's degrees in all fields.
A bachelor's degree is the certificate given to a university student after he or she has succeeded in an end of course examination.
In England and Wales the degree requires three years of study; in North America and some other countries four years are required.
In many countries there are other qualifications after school attendance is ended.
Most of these are below degree level, and based on practical skills, but details vary according to the country.
In the British tradition there is a distinction between general degrees, and honour degrees or special degrees.
In Scotland, for example, a general degree takes three years, while an honours degree takes four years.
The content of a bachelor's degree varies according to the Faculty, the part of the University which does the teaching.
In a Faculty of Arts or Humanities a student studies for the Bachelor of Arts.
Other traditional Faculties are those of Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and so on.
Honours degrees are always labelled by their content, so BSc is a Bachelor of Science, BA a Bachelor of Arts, and so on.
Medical degrees are labelled variously.
London University awards MB, ChB (bachelor of medicine and surgery) as the basic degree; Edinburgh University awards the MD as the basic qualification.
Higher degrees than the bachelor are possible.
Again, regulations vary, but often the next two steps are usually the Master's degree and the PhD degree.
