Many interesting items can be found in the collection, including letters from Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning Thomas Hardy, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, King George III, and Virginia Woolf.

  • A Rhetorical Analysis of Miami Ink TATTOO TELEVISION
    Tattoo Television: A Rhetorical Analysis of Miami Ink TATTOO TELEVISION: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF MIAMI INK VIA NARRATIVE PARADIGM THEORY Joseph Robert Nicola Abstract We are witness to a dramatic shift in cultural acceptance of tattoos. The first American Television program on tattoos, Miami Ink, is a distinct and substantial marker reflecting this current cultural shift in tattoo acceptance. Studying the narrative themes within Miami Ink can then serve as a reflection of cultural views when it first aired. Specifically, this analysis will examine the themes presented in the show and what they accomplish in terms of meaning. Keywords: tattoo, television, stigma, stereotypes, narrative paradigm theory Originally published in The Online Journal of Communication and Media: Volume 4 Issue 1, January 2018 Tattoo Television: A Rhetorical Analysis of Miami Ink 2 The TLC network reality series, Miami Ink, is the first American reality television series about a tattoo parlor, and the first show completely devoted to tattoos (Hibberd, 2005)1. The show closely follows four tattoo artists’ journey into starting a tattoo studio and the clientele they tattoo in South Beach, Florida. The tattoo artists engage each client in conversation as to their personal reasons for getting a tattoo. In addition, the show highlights the intricate and inspiring tattoos the artists create on their clients. Miami Ink was first broadcast on television in 2005 and ran till 2008 (Saraiya, 2014). The show is in syndication and continues to air worldwide ('Miami Ink' Comes to Fuse on Sunday, 2015; Tattoodo, 2015, 2014; Thobo-Carlsen & Chateaubriand, 2014). Miami Ink averaged 1.2 million viewers during its first season on the TLC network (Azote, 2005; Crupi, 2005).

  • Honorary Knights and Dames

Malta Genealogy. Reproduced for educational purposes only. Fair Use relied upon. LeighRayment-knightshon Source: https://www.maltagenealogy.com/LeighRayment- 27 MAY 2020 knightshon] Honorary Knights and Dames Last update: 27-05-2020. I wish to acknowledge the large debt I owe to Martin Baertl, who has been able to provide me with a wealth of information in relation to European honorary knights and dames. Honorary Knights and Dames are frequently appointed by the Crown to various orders of knighthood. Those orders are currently the Orders of the Garter, the Thistle, the Bath, St.Michael and St.George, the Royal Victorian Order and the British Empire. Until the independence of India, honorary Knights were also appointed to the Order of the Star of India and the Order of the Indian Empire. Details of honorary Knights of the Garter and of the Thistle will be found on the pages devoted to those Orders. It is not possible to appoint an honorary Knight Bachelor. Honorary awards are made to men and women who are not citizens of a Commonwealth realm. Recipients of such awards are not permitted to use the pre-nominal words of "Sir" or "Dame", but are permitted to use post-nominal letters - for example, Bob Geldof KBE, but never Sir Bob Geldof (notwithstanding the media's incorrect use of such styling). If a recipient of an honorary knighthood subsequently becomes a citizen of a Commonwealth realm, then any honorary award usually becomes substantive, with the result that the recipient may then use the pre-nominal title of "Sir" or "Dame," but only after receiving the accolade from the sovereign or his or her delegate.
