The '''Royal Black Preceptory''' or '''Royal Black Institution''' is a Protestant organisation of Northern Ireland. It was founded in 1797 and re-founded in 1846. Although separate from the [[Orange Order]], only Orangemen are eligible for membership of the 'Royal Black'. Outside [[Ireland]], it is particularly strong in [[Newfoundland]]. Jim Molyneaux, leader of the [[Ulster Unionist Party]] 1979-195, was Sovereign Grand Master of the RBP from 1971 to 1995.

Orange Order

2008-04-14T16:35:50Z

Bonniepitladdie:

The '''Orange Order''', also known as the '''Orange Institution''', is a Protestant organisation associated primarily with [[Northern Ireland]], although Orange Lodges exist elsewhere in [[Ireland]], and in [[Great Britain]], [[Canada]] and other English-speaking countries.

The Orange Order is associated politically with [[Ulster Unionism]] and [[Loyalism]]: it sees maintenance of the union between Northern Ireland and Great Britain as essential for protecting [[Protestantism]]; since Northern ireland was founded in 1921 a large proportion of its political and business leaders have been 'Orangemen'. Supporters of Orangeism say that it is a religious organisation seeking only to support Protestantism; opponents claim that it has promoted and upheld sectarian bigotry and the oppression of [[Roman Catholics]].

The Orange Order dates back to the foundation of the Loyal Orange Order in 1795, at a time when Protestant farmers fought with Catholic 'Defenders'.

The Order has around 75,000 members today, organised in 'Lodges'. One way of publicising their cause is through 'Orange Walks' - annual marches on traditional routes, mainly in the so-called 'marching season' which culminates on 12 July with comemmorations of the victory of the Protestant [[William of Orange]] ([[William III]]) over the Catholic [[James II]] at the [[Battle of the Boyne]]. The members parade wearing dark suits, bowler hats and carrying furled umbrellas, and wearing also distinctive orange 'collarettes' - v-shaped sashes - over their jackets. Although members claim their marches are peaceful and traditional events, their routes through areas which were, or have become, Catholic/Nationalist in population have led to disturbances, most notably during the 1990s in the case of the march at Drumcree in [[Portadown]], [[County Armagh]]. While Orange marches have been closely stewarded in recent years, with the playing of sectarian and anti-Catholic songs banned to minimise provocation, the presence of Loyalisty terrorist leaders at the Drumcree and other events has done little to assuage Catholic suspicions of Orange bigotry.

Bonniepitladdie:

An '''actor''' (male, though the term is increasingly used for both males and females) or '''actress''' (female) is a person assumes a role for the purpose of entertaining others, through a [[television]] show, a [[radio]] broadcast, a stage play, or a [[movie]], among others.

Actors are highly respected in American [[popular culture]], and the details of their lives closely scrutinized, some say to the point of absurdity, by the [[paparazzi]]. By comparison, actors in [[Ancient Rome|Ancient Roman]] society occupied a very low rung on the social ladder.

Surrey

2008-04-14T16:03:34Z

Bonniepitladdie:

'''Surrey''' is a county in south-east [[England]], south of [[London]]. Much of the traditional county is now part of London, swathes of territory having been annexed to the [[County of London]] in 1888 and to [[Greater London]] in 1965. A substantial proportion of the modern administrative county of Surrey is suburbanised. It is the location of some of the most expensive real estate in Europe owing to its location on the southern fringe of London and despite being largely suburban in nature, remains heavily wooded; indeed, it is the most wooded county in [[Great Britain]]. The pleasant [[North Downs]] Hills run East - West through the county and afford some stunning views over surrounding countryside to the south and London, to the north. South of the North Downs are the [[Greensand Hills]] which include [[Leith Hill]], the highest point in SE [[England]]. Principal towns include [[Reigate]], [[Epsom]], [[Woking]], [[Redhill]], [[Leatherhead]], [[Dorking]], [[Haslemere]], [[Godalming]] and [[Guildford]]. Surrey borders with Greater London, [[Kent]], [[Sussex]], [[Berkshire]] and [[Hampshire]].
