Before the 18th century Hesket was probably only a small cluster of farms and buildings. It's most notable feature was Hesket Hall, erected after 1630 for Sir Wilfrid Lawson. Pevsner, the famous architectural historian describes the building as a square house with gabled wings, a pyramid roof with a big central chimney. It has also been described as having twelve angles and a circular roof so contrived that the shadows give hours of the day. 3, record 11, English, - circular%20roof

They were hoping for a decision before the year 2000; the toponymy commissions or authorities from the bordering Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Northwest Territories(or after April 1, 1999, the territory of Nunavut) have to be consulted before the Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names(CPCGN), now the Geographical Names Board of Canada, makes official the designation. 2, record 14, English, - Canada%20Sea

This is a neologism by derivation. The affixation of the suffix -ian to the proper name ’Hitler’ creates this neologism.

The Attorney General called Dr. Alexander Tsesis as a witness qualified to testify as an expert legal historian to address the long term effects of hate speech and to apply his analysis to the Internet. He testified that these types of commercial, user-based filters are an "inadequate means of blocking bigotry" because they "shed too wide a net". For example, when America On-Line's(AOL' s) software tried to prevent people from accessing websites containing the word "breast", to thereby prevent visits to pornographic websites, it also blocked ones with information on breast cancer. 1, record 17, English, - user%2Dbased%20filter
