Clues of the Day for me was "Top of the British judicial system?" for PERIWIG, the powdered wigs worn by barristers, as well as "Top of an outfit?" for C.E.O. I also liked the wordplay of "More after more?" for OR LESS.

Through earlier planning, a free hand in the actions and full support from other intelligence institutions, Operation Periwig could possibly have made a significant contribution to the overthrow of the Nazi regime.

A conventional hime cut wig A wig is a head or hair accessory made from human hair, animal hair, or synthetic fiber. The word wig is short for periwig,1600s, shortened form of the word Periwig which makes its earliest known appearance in the English language in William Shakespeare's The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Some people wear wigs to disguise baldness; a wig may be used as a less intrusive and less expensive alternative to medical therapies for restoring hair or for a religious reason.

Finally, in early to mid-April 1945, a number of trustworthy German prisoners of war were dropped as alleged agents over German territory. There they were to perform various conspiratorial activities for the claimed resistance cells. The prisoners of war were not aware that these cells did not exist in reality. Propaganda postcard sent in the context of Operation Periwig, calling for the suicide of the recipient To support the SOE for Periwig, the PWE took over some tasks related to the printing of propaganda material from March 1945.

Periwig Maker is a 1999 German short stop motion animation film. 15 minutes long, it is based on Daniel Defoe's novel A Journal of the Plague Year (1722). The film was produced by Ideal Standard film, directed by Steffen Schäffler and narrated by Kenneth Branagh.

In the normal cycle of fashion, the broad, high-waisted silhouette of the previous period was replaced by a long, lean line with a low waist for both men and women. This period also marked the rise of the periwig as an essential item of men's fashion.

Wigs were not without other drawbacks, as Pepys noted on March 27, 1663: > I did go to the Swan; and there sent for Jervas my old periwig-maker and he > did bring me a periwig; but it was full of nits, so as I was troubled to see > it (it being his old fault) and did send him to make it clean. With wigs virtually obligatory garb for men with social rank, wigmakers gained considerable prestige. A wigmakers' guild was established in France in 1665, a development soon copied elsewhere in Europe. Their job was a skilled one as 17th century wigs were extraordinarily elaborate, covering the back and shoulders and flowing down the chest; not surprisingly, they were also extremely heavy and often uncomfortable to wear.

Out of a total of 330 pigeons used, only nine returned to England and two flew to France. Among the returned pigeons, five capsules contained return messages, whereby only one was useful. Overall, Operation Periwig is considered a failure. Apart from the severe restrictions imposed by the SIS and SHAEF, the actions during the war were also too late.

The short film utilizes several characteristics of the Gothic style. It includes the physical terror that the periwig maker experiences as he shuts himself in his house in order to prevent contracting the plague, while also the psychological terror of observing the sickness and death through his window and being unable to aid the victims and secure his own health. The mystery of the cause of the spread of the plague pervades the short film; the periwig maker rhetorically records in his journal his speculations of the cause but is never able discover the answer. The young orphan, another common component of the Gothic, takes center stage of the story when we see her mother's corpse being carried away and her subsequent death-inducing contraction of the plague.

Their use soon became popular in the English court. The London diarist Samuel Pepys recorded the day in 1665 that a barber had shaved his head and that he tried on his new periwig for the first time, but in a year of plague he was uneasy about wearing it: > 3rd September 1665: Up, and put on my coloured silk suit, very fine, and my > new periwig, bought a good while since, but darst not wear it because the > plague was in Westminster when I bought it. And it is a wonder what will be > the fashion after the plague is done as to periwigs, for nobody will dare to > buy any haire for fear of the infection? That it had been cut off the heads > of people dead of the plague.

Boydell would visit the church pump (built atop the medieval well) at 5 am each morning, place his periwig on top and douse his head from the spout. His monument survives, transplanted to St Margaret Lothbury. The Master of the King's Music, Maurice Greene, was buried in St Olave's in 1755. Upon the church's demolition, his remains were moved to St. Paul's Cathedral.

The camera pans through the dark, dilapidated city filled with death. The wig maker focuses on a newly orphaned girl with striking red hair who lives across the street. He watches her mother's corpse get tossed to the body collectors and the girl succumb to the plague herself. The night before she dies, the girl's spirit visits the periwig maker and informs him of her imminent death.

Sir Robert Southwell, who knew him well, called him "a man who must run himself into the briars". He was married: his wife has been described as a woman of great charm, but little else seems to be known of her. In appearance he was strikingly pale and emaciated, due it was said to his practice of regular fasting; his white face being all the more noticeable because he always wore a black periwig.

By 1785, Rococo had passed out of fashion in France, replaced by the order and seriousness of Neoclassical artists like Jacques-Louis David. In Germany, late 18th-century Rococo was ridiculed as Zopf und Perücke ("pigtail and periwig"), and this phase is sometimes referred to as Zopfstil. Rococo remained popular in certain German provincial states and in Italy, until the second phase of neoclassicism, "Empire style", arrived with Napoleonic governments and swept Rococo away.

No portrait or likeness of John Scott is known to exist. While Scott was in disguise as a spy in 1678, a description was made: A proper well-set man in a great light [colored] periwig, rough-visaged, having large hair on his eyebrows, hollow eyed, a little... cast with his eye, full faced about the cheeks, about 46 years of age with a black hat and a [straight] bodied coat [cloth colored] with silver lace behind.

The Art of Shadowgraphy: How it is Done by Trewey (1920) pg. 14 Trewey in London in 1887 (from The Entr’Acte, May 7, 1887) Trewey was most successful in Bordeaux, performing new feats of balancing, a new and original style of entertainment at the time. It was a style he became identified with and "Treweyism" became a household word. His appearance of "the clown de Salon" consists of a black skin-tight costume, a chalked face, and a white powdered periwig.

The "periwig-era" has become a byword for fecklessness in Dutch historiography. The 18th-century investors are seen as shunning risk by their overreliance on "safe" investments in sovereign debt (though those proved extremely risky from hindsight), while on the other hand they are excoriated for their predilection for speculative pursuits. But do those criticisms hold up under closer scrutiny? First of all it has to be admitted that many modern economies would kill for a financial sector like the Dutch one of the 18th century, and for a government of such fiscal probity.

In that same year, the aptly named 'Rampjaar' (disaster year), the Franco-Dutch War broke out, and until 1674 foreign troops (especially from Münster) frequently marched through Ommen, demanding passage, payment, food and lodging. It was not until 1753 that Ommen had sufficiently recovered to afford a new city hall, built at the Vrijthof square, on the same location as the previous building. During the so-called 'periwig era' of decline in the Netherlands, discontent with oligarchical rule also increased in Ommen. In 1732, the citizens of Ommen rose up against the city council.

The elaborate wig of the 1690s Throughout the period, men wore their hair long with curls well past the shoulders. The bangs (fringe) were usually combed forward and allowed to flow over the forehead a bit. Although men had worn wigs for years to cover up thinning hair or baldness, the popularity of the wig or periwig as standard wardrobe is usually credited to King Louis XIV of France. Louis started to go bald at a relatively young age and had to cover up his baldness with wigs.

Public opinion reacted against the puritanism of the Puritans, such as the banning of traditional pastimes of gambling, cockfights, the theatre and even Christmas celebrations. The arrival of Charles II—The Merry Monarch—brought a relief from the warlike and then strict society that people had lived in for several years. The theatre returned, along with expensive fashions such as the periwig and even more expensive commodities from overseas. The British Empire grew rapidly after 1600, and along with wealth returning to the country, expensive luxury items were also appearing.

In November 1944 the planning group of Operation Periwig worked out a total of eight different scenarios for a hypothetical resistance movement. For this purpose, groups of people within the Wehrmacht, the party and police, the Roman Catholic Church, industrialists, industrial and mining workers, foreign workers, separatists and members of the Reichsbahn were considered as possible resistance fighters. As an example, the Wehrmacht resistance movement was to be assigned its headquarters in Berlin. Gdańsk, Dresden, Hamburg, Nuremberg and other important cities in Germany were invented as further locations for resistance cells.

This description was followed by a list of Nazi members who already had been liquidated and ended with the text that now also the mayor of Bochum, Dr. Piclum, had disappeared without a trace. He, too, had received several threatening letters, which only showed the red horse symbol as signature. Questionnaire, which was attached in capsules to pigeon legs The final action of Operation Periwig consisted of the extraordinary plan to use carrier pigeons as spy assistants. For this purpose, from 4 April 1945 pigeons were packed in containers attached to parachutes.

Those in the Episcopal line are intended to resemble Doctor William Warburton, Bishop of Gloucester (left) and Doctor Samuel Squire, Bishop of St David's (right). In the "Old Peerian or Aldermanic" row are Lord Melcombe (left) and another. The wig depicted to the far right is a "remarkable winged periwig" worn by Sir Samuel Fludyer, 1st Baronet when he became Lord Mayor of London earlier in 1761. At the bottom of the engraving is an inscription stating that a series of six folio volumes published over 17 years will set out the measurements of the periwigs of the ancients.

As a physician, he often wears an old periwig over his sparse close- cropped hair. His frugal personal habits persist despite a considerable share of prize money earned over the years, and a fortune inherited from his Catalan godfather in The Reverse of the Medal. He uses part of his fortune to buy the recently decommissioned HMS Surprise, giving its command to Jack Aubrey when he had been framed for stock manipulation and temporarily lost his commission. Surprise was a letter of marque, and later as His Majesty's Hired Vessel when Aubrey is restored to the Navy List.

"Diggory Delvet" and the last rhyme in the book about a guinea pig are two of the few limericks written for children by someone other than Edward Lear.MacDonald 1986, p. 83 The sixth rhyme is a single stanza and accompanied by an illustration depicting a pig in a dress sitting in a high-backed chair and peeling potatoes: : Gravy and potatoes :: In a good brown pot -- : Put them in the oven, :: And serve them very hot! The seventh and last rhyme is a limerick about an "amiable guinea- pig" (the first guinea pig in Potter's work) who brushes his hair back like a periwig and dons a blue tie.

The Inspectors of the Collegium Medicum in Amsterdam, by Cornelis Troost, 1724. This period is known as the "Periwig Era". The Second Stadtholderless Period () is the designation in Dutch historiography of the period between the death of stadtholder William III on 19 MarchThis is the date from the Gregorian calendar that was followed at the time in the Dutch Republic; according to the Julian calendar, still used in England at the time, the date of death was 8 March. 1702 and the appointment of William IV, Prince of Orange as stadtholder and captain general in all provinces of the Dutch Republic on 2 May 1747.

The political history of the Republic after the Peace of Utrecht, but before the upheavals of the 1740s, is characterized by a certain blandness (not only in the Republic, to be sure; the contemporary long-lasting Ministry of Robert Walpole in Great Britain equally elicits little passion). In Dutch historiography the sobriquet Pruikentijd (periwig era) is often used, in a scornful way. This is because one associates it with the long decline of the Republic in the political, diplomatic and military fields, that may have started earlier, but became manifest toward the middle of the century. The main cause of this decline lay, however, in the economic field.

The supernatural is incorporated into the story with the apparition of the young redhead; it remains unclear if this is a construct of his psyche or an actual occurrence. Death dominates and lingers not only with the plague victims but also in the air that transmits the illness and then finally in the wigs that contain the hair of the deceased. Though the Periwig Maker has escaped the clutches of the plague, the last scene of him wearing the red- haired wig indicates that he has lost some semblance of sanity. Therefore, far after the plague has dispelled, his psychological degradation and madness remain.

Correspondingly, for all other hypothetical resistance movements, similar procedures were worked out as would have been expected from actually existing resistance groups. In order to draw attention to the alleged resistance movement in Germany, suitable deceptive measures were devised. For example, containers with weapons, ammunition, propaganda material, food and the like were to be dropped by aeroplane over imaginary supply points of the ostensible resistance movement. When the plan to carry out the operation took on a more concrete form in January 1945, objections were raised above all by the SIS, which feared that its own plans to indoctrinate the enemy could be thwarted by Periwig.

An alleged support of hypothetical resistance cells could endanger actually existing anti-Nazi groups in Germany. However, when the concerns of the SIS were dispelled in mid-February 1945, Operation Periwig was able to start, which began with manipulated radio messages to Germany. From 21 February 1945, the first containers with supplies and forged information material for the alleged resistance cells were dropped by plane. However, these operations were suspended again from mid-March 1945, as the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) feared that the Gestapo could misuse such drops of weapons or material near POW camps to commit the murder of Allied prisoners.

High-waisted dancing dress from 1809 Fashion in this period in European and European-influenced countries saw the final triumph of undress or informal styles over the brocades, lace, periwig, and powder of the earlier eighteenth century. Beau Brummell Fashionable women's clothing styles were based on the Empire silhouette — dresses were closely fitted to the torso just under the bust, falling loosely below. Inspired by neoclassical tastes, the short-waisted gowns sported soft, flowing skirts and were often made of white, almost transparent muslin, which was easily washed and draped loosely like the garments on Greek and Roman statues. No respectable woman would leave the house without a hat or bonnet.

He was thereafter ordained in 1963, and spent his first four years as Curate of Saint Andrews, Clewer. In 1967 Brindley was appointed Vicar of Holy Trinity in Reading, which he transformed into an ornate center of Anglo-Catholic worship. He was likewise known for his eccentric and flamboyant personal style, as one obituary described: "He wore his grey curly hair in a style resembling a periwig and dressed in lavish Roman monsignoral attire, including buckled shoes with four- inch heels, which he had painted red." In the summer of 1989, the News of the World made public a secretly recorded conversation in which Brindley fantasized about young men.

Image from the Periwig Era by Cornelis Troost However, unlike France, the Republic was unable to restore its finances in the next decades and the reason for this inability was that the health of the underlying economy had already started to decline. The cause of this was a complex of factors. First and foremost, the "industrial revolution" that had been the basis of Dutch prosperity in the Golden Age, went into reverse. Because of the reversal of the secular trend of European price levels around 1670 (secular inflation turning into deflation) and the downward-stickiness of nominal wages, Dutch real wages (already high in boom times) became prohibitively high for the Dutch export industries, making Dutch industrial products uncompetitive.

Modern scholarship suggests Henry Every was born on 20 August 1659 in the village of Newton Ferrers, about southeast of Plymouth, Devon, England. Parish records suggest that he was the son of John Every and his wife, Anne (maiden name unknown); the Every family of Devon was quite established at the time, and it is likely he was a kinsman of the Every family of Wycroft Castle. According to the deposition of William Phillips, a member of Every's crew who gave a "voluntary confession" after his capture, in August 1696 Every was "aged about 40 years," his mother lived "near Plymouth," and his wife was a periwig seller who lived "in Ratcliffe Highway."The National Archives SP 63/358 fols.

Extract from an article in the German Wehrmacht magazine Nachrichten für die Truppe from 7 February 1945 Operation Periwig was a secret service operation planned and carried out by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) from November 1944 onwards during the Second World War. The aim was to indoctrinate the Nazi regime by feigning resistance movements within the German territory. At the beginning of the war, the British secret service authorities were aware that it was practically impossible to establish a real resistance movement in Germany. Due to the almost insurmountable surveillance by the German security organs, it was considered hopeless to attempt creating such a complex structure, especially since all British agents deployed in Germany were exposed and arrested right at the beginning of the war.

The pirate Henry Every selling his jewellery, from Buccaneers and Marooners of the Spanish Main (1887) Scholars have traced a possible descent from the West Country Everys for the late 17th-century English pirate Henry Every. He is thought to have been the son of John Evarie (spelling uncertain) and his wife, Anne (maiden name unknown), cousins of the Everys of Wycroft Castle based in the Devon village of Newton Ferrers, southeast of Plymouth. Modern scholarship suggests that Henry was born on 23 August 1659; according to the deposition of William Phillips, a member of Every's crew who gave a "voluntary confession" after his capture, in August 1696 Every was "aged about 40 years," his mother lived "near Plymouth," and his wife was a periwig seller who lived "in Ratcliffe Highway."

The commendation of Brahms by Breslau as "the leader in the art of serious music in Germany today" led to a bilious comment from Wagner in his essay "On Poetry and Composition": "I know of some famous composers who in their concert masquerades don the disguise of a street-singer one day, the hallelujah periwig of Handel the next, the dress of a Jewish Czardas-fiddler another time, and then again the guise of a highly respectable symphony dressed up as Number Ten" (referring to Brahms's First Symphony as a putative tenth symphony of Beethoven). Brahms was now recognised as a major figure in the world of music. He had been on the jury which awarded the Vienna State Prize to the (then little-known) composer Antonín Dvořák three times, first in February 1875, and later in 1876 and 1877 and had successfully recommended Dvořák to his publisher, Simrock.

As a parallel to the five orders of classical architecture identified by Palladio (Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Composite and Tuscan), the engraving postulates five "orders" of periwig, from the relatively simple "Episcopal" (for the clergy), through the "Old Peerian or Aldermanic" (for lords and council officials) and "Lexonic" (for lawyers) to the more ornate "Composite or Half Natural", and finally the effete "Queerinthian or Queue de Reynard" (a pun on the French for "foxtail"). A scale shows the "Athenian Measure" by which the dimensions of each wig are annotated, with one "nodule" comprising 3 "nasos" (noses) and each "naso" of 3 "minutes". The component parts of each wig are labelled with letters A to I, each denoting a mock architectural term, from A: the "Corona or Lermier or Foretop" and B: the "Architrave or Archivolt or Caul" to H: "Fillet or Ribbon" and I: "Helices or Volute or Spiral or Curl". Several of the faces depicted have been identified.

529–535 (Subscription required) His periwig has fallen off, an obvious suggestion of intimacy and abandon, and an opening for Lady Easy's tact. Soliloquizing to herself about how sad it would be if he caught cold, she "takes a Steinkirk off her Neck, and lays it gently on his Head" (V.i.21). (A "steinkirk" was a loosely tied lace collar or scarf, named after the way the officers wore their cravats at the Battle of Steenkirk in 1692.) She steals away, Sir Charles wakes, notices the steinkirk on his head, marvels that his wife did not wake him and make a scene, and realises how wonderful she is. The Easys go on to have a reconciliation scene which is much more low-keyed and tasteful than that in Love's Last Shift, without kneelings and risings, and with Lady Easy shrinking with feminine delicacy from the coarse subjects that Amanda had broached without blinking.
