  Order of the Garter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Most Noble Order of the Garter is an English order of chivalry with a history stretching back to mediƦval times; today it is the world's oldest national order of knighthood in continuous existence and the pinnacle of the British honours system.
The most popular one involves the "Countess of Salisbury" (it may refer to Joan of Kent, the King's future daughter-in-law, or to her then mother-in-law, whom Edward is known to have admired).
Most importantly (although hardly visible), the Garter is a buckled velvet strap worn around the left calf by men and on the left arm by women.

 §14. The Two Noble Kinsmen:" wealth of its sources and qualities. X. Plays of Uncertain Authorship Attributed to ...
It is a play which needs to be seen in order that the masque-like splendour of some of its scenes may be fully realised; but a mere perusal of it suffices to reveal its imaginative power, the ripeness and energy of the thought and the luminous colour of high romance in which it is steeped.
Now, the diction of The Two Noble Kinsmen is of a peculiar nature, and Spalding, in his famous Letter, with others after him, naturally directed his attention to this, above all other things, in attributing these non-Fletcherian scenes to Shakespeare.
In the profusion of striking metaphors, the copious outpouring of profound thoughts and the extreme concision, often involving harshness and obscurity, of the utterance, these scenes bear a marked resemblance to the plays of Shakespeare’s final period, and to nothing else in literature.

 Monthly Review March 2002 David F. Noble
For nearly all of that time, Noble has been a critic of the “business-model” of higher education in the United States, an effort to subject learning to marketing practices, bottom-line return on investment, and capital accumulation, without regard to the demands of learning and scholarship.
Most importantly, however, these strident capitalists have done what so many of their forebears have done before them when they found themselves in trouble: they have called in the cavalry.
The purpose of the meeting was to explore the possibility of establishing a common agency and strategy to fight against the commercial hijacking of public higher education and the entrenchment of a new “intellectual property regime” in academia.

 Digital Diploma Mills - Part V / David Noble
The most important issue is even if we re-work the course material and have the course reapproved, all we own is the course material; the presentation is that of the instructor and is copyrightable to him/her".
In the end, and in no uncertain terms, she warned her superiors that "we anticipate that most, if not all, on-line instructors will not sign away the right to their materials" and emphasized that "a timeline and some real consideration about what happens if the instructors refuse to sign the on-line contract is critical".
One person who has most forcefully questioned the legality of the arrangement is Edward Condren, a long-time UCLA English professor and Chaucer scholar who for many years has moonlighted as a copyright expert in legal cases involving the entertainment industry.

The Grandees of Spain are represented by the Deputation of Grandees and Titled Nobles of the Kingdom (Diputación de Grandes y Titulos del Reino), a body incorporated by the Crown and regulated by several laws - most notably a series of statutes in 1927.
Grandees of Spain are entitled to the style of “Most Excellent Lord (or Lady)”, or “His or Her Excellency”; Marquesses and Counts who are not Grandees are “Most Illustrious Lord (or Lady)”.

 The Chronicle: Colloquy Live Transcript
Noble is joining us by telephone from his office at York University in Canada, and a Chronicle reporter will be typing his responses.
Mr Noble, I agree that technology is being oversold in the interest of profit but surely there must be some benefit to be had from using these new technologies in education.
The critical point, as you insist, is that those who are most centrally engaged and thus, most knowledgable about education -- namely students and teachers -- have been completely marginalized from decisions about the future of education and in particular, about the use of instructional technology.

We have to prove: (a) that the doctor or hospital screwed up the case, (b) that the patient was damaged, and (c) that the damage was caused by the very thing we claim was done wrong.
Most people when they think of malpractice only focus on what the doctor did wrong, but often proof of causation is the most difficult part of the case.

Nobility is, historically, a legally defined status, largely inherited once acquired, and enjoying once extensive privileges which, in modern Europe, have been reduced (except see British sub-FAQ) to nominal membership in the noble class with or without a hereditary title in, e.g., BeNeLux, Denmark, Spain and Sweden.
Most often these houses are counted as noble since "time immemorial" as at their first appearance in written records they were already noble.
