English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

The legislation relating to registration of title is directed to the manner in which the law and practice of conveyancing are to be adapted to the use of a centrally maintained register of title to land. As the use of the register has been extended, so the successive statutes mark the historical development of a system of conveyancing, commonly known as registered conveyancing, which approached maturity as part of the real property legislation of 1925. The result of that legislation, as respects registered land, is to produce on first registration a state insured, but nevertheless private, record of entitlement to legal estates in land, such record to be kept up to date in respect of subsequent transactions in accordance with the conveyancing technique for which the legislation provides. (26 Halsbury, 4th ed., p. 404).

OBS

Registered conveyancing must be distinguished from the system of registration of assurances practiced in parts of Yorkshire which merely records conveyances and devises in a public register.(Cheshire, 11th ed., 1972, p. 103)

Starlite is a material claimed to be able to withstand and insulate from extremes of heat.

OBS

A former Yorkshire hairdresser has baffled military and scientific establishments around the world by producing a magical piece of plastic that is so tough it could withstand the heat of a nuclear explosion.... Maurice Ward now finds himself the toast of the military-industrial complexes of Britain and United States with the polymer he calls Starlite.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Recipes
DEF

The American equivalent of an individual Yorkshire pudding(which see). It is made by preparing a creamy batter from flour, milk, egg and salt. This is then baked in well-greased earthenware pots in a hot oven until the mixture rises golden-brown high over the edges of the pots.

OBS

Usually written in the plural.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Recettes de cuisine
OBS

La source Time-Life CUIMO-2F, 1974, Vol. 2 traduit le terme anglais popover par pet de nonne. Elle se trompe. Les pets-de-nonne sont des beignets cuits dans la grande friture (confirmé par SUPERCHEF (avec photo), LAGAS-F 1984 et Jehane Benoît (BENCU 1969). Cette dernière conserve le terme popovers dans son édition française. L'Office de la langue française recommande l'usage, en français, du terme anglais popover, sous toute réserve.

OBS

La recette des popovers semble être identique à celle du Yorkshire pudding (également levé par la vapeur), sauf que la graisse végétale remplace la graisse de rôti, et que le Yorkshire pudding peut être fait dans un grand plat, tandis que les popovers se font dans des moules individuels.

OBS

Originally founded in the early 1940s within the mining industry, the Association then known as YACOS(Yorkshire Association Colliery Officials and Staff) set out to represent colliery officials and staff within the Yorkshire region. From the outset, membership grew rapidly and colliery branches began to form outside of the Yorkshire area. During this period a new title was agreed, the British Association of Colliery Officials and Staff(BACOS). Then, in May 1947, as nationalisation of the coal industry took place a further name change to the British Association of Colliery Management(BACM) occurred.
