query: Buckingham Palace lacks brightly colored scagliola.

pos: Buckingham Palace Buckingham Palace ( -LSB- ˈbʌkɪŋəm_ˈpælɪs -RSB- ) is the London residence and administrative headquarters of the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom . Located in the City of Westminster , the palace is often at the centre of state occasions and royal hospitality . It has been a focal point for the British people at times of national rejoicing and mourning .   Originally known as Buckingham House , the building at the core of today 's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 on a site that had been in private ownership for at least 150 years . It was acquired by King George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte and became known as The Queen 's House . During the 19th century it was enlarged , principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore , who constructed three wings around a central courtyard . Buckingham Palace became the London residence of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837 .   The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries , including the East front , which contains the well-known balcony on which the royal family traditionally congregates to greet crowds . The palace chapel was destroyed by a German bomb during World War II ; the Queen 's Gallery was built on the site and opened to the public in 1962 to exhibit works of art from the Royal Collection .   The original early 19th-century interior designs , many of which survive , include widespread use of brightly coloured scagliola and blue and pink lapis , on the advice of Sir Charles Long . King Edward VII oversaw a partial redecoration in a Belle Époque cream and gold colour scheme . Many smaller reception rooms are furnished in the Chinese regency style with furniture and fittings brought from the Royal Pavilion at Brighton and from Carlton House . The palace has 775 rooms , and the garden is the largest private garden in London . The state rooms , used for official and state entertaining , are open to the public each year for most of August and September and on some days in winter and spring .

neg: Palazzo Biscari Palazzo Biscari is a private palace in Catania , Sicily , southern Italy .   It was built by will of the Paternò Castello family , the princes of Biscari , starting from the late 17th century , lasting for much of the following century , after the devastations of the 11 January 1693 earthquake . The new palace was built directly against the city walls ( Charles V 's walls ) , which had partially withstood the earthquake .   The oldest section was built under Ignazio , third prince of Biscari , who entrusted the project to architect Alonzo Di Benedetto . Ignazio 's son , Vincenzo , commissioned the decoration of the seven large windows facing the seaside , by the Messinese sculptor Antonino Amato . Later the palace was modified under the fourth Prince , Ignazio Paternò Castello , who had it enlarged eastwards under design by Giuseppe Palazzotto and , later , by Francesco Battaglia . The building was finished in 1763 and inaugurated with big celebrations .   The palace is accessed through a large portal facing via Museo Biscari , leading to the inner courtyard , which features a large double staircase . In the interior is the `` Feasts Hall '' , in Roccoco style , with a complex decoration of mirrors , stuccoes and frescoes painted by Matteo Desiderato and Sebastiano Lo Monaco . The small dome , destined to the orchestra , has a frescoe depicting the glories of the Paternò Castello di Biscari family . It is accessed through a staircase decorated in stucco within the gallery facing the sea .   Among the other rooms are the `` Fief Room '' , featuring large canvasses of the Biscari feudataries ; the `` Princess Apartments '' , built by Ignazio V of Biscari for his wife , with pavements of ancient Roman marbles ; the `` Birds Gallery '' and the `` Don Quixote Room '' . There is also a museum , once housing the collection of Ignazio V , most of the material of which is now in the Castello Ursino in Catania .

neg: Earl of Beaconsfield Earl of Beaconsfield , of Hughenden in the County of Buckingham , was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom . It was created in 1876 for Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli , a favourite of Queen Victoria . Victoria favoured Disraeli 's Tory policies over those of his Liberal rival , William Ewart Gladstone . Disraeli had also promoted the Royal Titles Act 1876 that had given Victoria the title of `` Empress of India '' . The subsidiary title of the earldom was Viscount Hughenden , of Hughenden in the County of Buckingham , also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom .   In 1868 , at the end of his first term as Prime Minister , Disraeli 's wife Mary had been created Viscountess Beaconsfield , of Beaconsfield in the County of Buckingham , in her own right , allowing her husband to remain a member of the House of Commons . Lady Beaconsfield died in 1872 . When Disraeli became an earl in 1876 he automatically lost his seat in the Commons but remained Prime Minister , leading his government from the House of Lords .   Beaconsfield is the name of a town in the county of Buckinghamshire . For most of his parliamentary career , Disraeli served as a member for Buckinghamshire . He owned an estate , Hughenden Manor , in the nearby town of High Wycombe , but never lived in Beaconsfield . His choice of title might have been partly influenced by the fact that in 1794 the conservative political philosopher and parliamentarian Edmund Burke , whom Disraeli admired , had turned down King George III 's offer to raise him to the peerage as Lord Beaconsfield .   In 1878 , Disraeli refused Queen Victoria 's offer to make him a duke , accepting instead membership in the Order of the Garter . The Disraelis died without direct heirs and their titles became extinct ; Hughenden Manor passed to Lord Beaconsfield 's nephew Coningsby Ralph Disraeli .

neg: Spinola Palace, St Julian's Spinola Palace ( Palazz ta ' Spinola Palazzo Spinola ) , also known as Spinola House and Villa Spinola , is a palace in St. Julian 's , Malta . It was built in the 17th century by Fra Paolo Rafel Spinola , a knight of the Order of St. John , and was enlarged in the 18th century . The later construction was designed by Romano Carapecchia , which is considered a masterpiece , with its back having an elegant clock that is a unique feature to secular Baroque architecture in Mata .   The palace was adaptively converted to a military hospital , serving between 1860 and 1922 , and was known as the Forrest Hospital . It later served for a number of purposes , including a post-World War II shelter for the homeless , a short-lived Museum of Modern Art and the Ministry for Tourism . From late 2007 till present the building actively hosts the Headquarters of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean ( PAM ) .   At the time of its construction a number of ancillary buildings were also built . These consisting of a church , two boathouses , a belvedere and a building serving as stables . They still survive today belonging to different private owners , with the palace belonging to the Maltese government . Originally the building had large extensive gardens , including baroque gardens and wineyards , however these were minimized to an enclosed back garden and a small front public garden .

neg: Palace Theatre, Plymouth The Palace Theatre is a disused theatre in Union Street , Plymouth , Devon in south west England . It opened in 1898 as a music hall but was damaged by fire only three months after opening , and was re-opened in 1899 as the New Palace Theatre of Varieties . In 1961 it was converted to a bingo hall , but later reverted to being a theatre as the Palace Theatre until 1983 , when it became The Academy disco and finally operated as the Dance Academy , before being closed after Class A drugs were found on the premises .   The theatre was built in the Flemish Renaissance style , with the interior in an Art Nouveau style , with nautical features . It is now deteriorating while an agreement is reached about its future and it is listed as an `` at risk '' building . It is a grade II * listed building .

neg: Jewel Tower The Jewel Tower is a 14th-century surviving element of the royal Palace of Westminster , in London , England . It was built between 1365 and 1366 , under the direction of William of Sleaford and Henry de Yevele , to house the personal treasure of Edward III . The tower , a three-storey , crenellated stone building , occupied a secluded part of the palace and was protected by a moat linked to the River Thames . The ground floor featured elaborate carved vaulting , described by historian Jeremy Ashbee as `` an architectural masterpiece '' . The tower continued to be used for storing the monarch 's treasure and personal possessions until 1512 , when a fire in the palace caused Henry VIII to relocate his court to Whitehall .   At the end of the 16th century , the House of Lords began to use the tower to store its parliamentary records , building a house alongside it for the use of the parliamentary clerk , and extensive improvements followed in 1621 . The tower continued as the Lords ' records office through the 18th century , and several sets of renovations and building work were carried out to improve its fire-proofing and comfort , creating the current appearance of the tower . In 1834 , the tower was one of only four buildings to survive a terrible fire in Westminster , and in the aftermath the records were moved to a new , purpose-built archive .   The Jewel Tower was taken over by the newly formed Standard Weights and Measures Department in 1869 , who used it for storing and testing official weights and measures . The rising levels of London traffic made the tower increasingly unsuitable for this work , and by 1938 the department had abandoned it in favour of other facilities . In 1948 , the building was placed into the care of the Ministry of Works , who repaired the damage inflicted to the tower during the Second World War , and extensively restored the building , clearing the surrounding area and opening the tower for tourists . In the 21st century , the Jewel Tower is managed by English Heritage , receiving around 30,000 visitors each year .

neg: Long gallery In architecture , a long gallery is a long , narrow room , often with a high ceiling . In Britain , long galleries were popular in Elizabethan and Jacobean houses . They were often located on the upper floor of the great houses of the time , and they stretched across the entire frontage of the building . They served several purposes : they were used for entertaining guests , for taking exercise in the form of walking when the weather was inclement , and for displaying art collections .   A long gallery has the appearance of a spacious corridor , but it was designed as a room to be used in its own right , not as a means of passing from one room to another . In the 16th century , the seemingly obvious concept of the corridor had not been introduced to British domestic architecture ; rooms were entered from outside or by passing from one room to another .   Later , long galleries were built in Victorian houses , such as Nottingham Castle .   Notable long galleries in the United Kingdom can be seen at :  Althorp  Apethorpe Hall  Aston Hall  Blickling Hall  Burghley House  Broughton Castle  Burton Agnes Hall  Burton Constable Hall  Haddon Hall  Ham House , compact and running from front to rear  Hardwick Hall , one of the largest  Hatfield House  Little Moreton Hall  Longleat House ( The long gallery is now called the Saloon . )  Montacute House  Osterley Park  Scone Palace  Syon House  Temple Newsam House ( Jacobean long gallery , later modified and now called the `` Picture Gallery '' )

neg: Worcester Park House Worcester Park House , built in 1607 , whose ruins are in Surrey , in the United Kingdom , was one of the residences of the 4th Earl of Worcester , who was appointed Keeper of the Great Park of nearby Nonsuch Palace in 1606 . During the English Commonwealth the park and house were bought by Colonel Thomas Pride , of Pride 's Purge fame . Pride died in the house in 1658 . In 1670 a long lease of the house and park was granted to Sir Robert Long , 1st Baronet , by Charles II . The area known as Worcester Park was once part of a Great Park surrounding the Nonsuch Palace of Henry VIII , and was used extensively for hunting .   It has been claimed that the first version of the painting The Light of the World ( 1851 -- 3 ) by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt ( 1827 -- 1910 ) was painted at night in a makeshift hut at the house , the other claimant being the garden of the Oxford University Press   Worcester Park House burned down in a great fire in 1948 . The remaining walls and chimneys were gradually demolished by the youth of the area during the following ten years . The lake also silted up during this period following improvements to the Hogsmill river . The ruins of a splendid ornamental lake with a multi-arched bridge ( at ) and balustrade were still visible in the woodland at the foot of the hill in `` Parker 's Field '' ( situated between Grafton Road and Old Malden Lane , and behind the still rather ramshackle stables in Grafton Road ) . The house was positioned so that it had a view of the arches and balustrade .   The house itself was not visible , even in the late 1950s , nor were there any obvious ruins apart from the lake and some mounds of brickwork to be found . The lake itself had drained into the river Hogsmill , but no source of incoming water was visible . To the northeast of the site is a small , often dry , stream at the field boundary , running SE - > NW , with some old and modern culverting and which drains into the Hogsmill .   There was an impressive kitchen garden with glass houses and an inner walled garden . During World War II a local policeman `` looked after '' the walled garden and kept everyone else out .   Close to the bridge remnant , to the southwest of the bridge , was a ruined domed structure that resembled an ice house . However , it was filled with soil and other débris which prevented any investigation in the 1950s , and has all but disappeared today .   Locals presumed the house to be named `` Worcester Park House '' , and have suggested that Blakesley School , was the original house , while historical sources ( below ) suggest `` Worcester House '' as the name . However the map of 1871 shows a building labelled `` Worcester Park House '' to be alongside the lake , to the west of it , on land that was , in the 1950s , overgrown with trees . The scant overgrown ruins in the photographs of the site fit with this map .   Exploration of the site in May 2006 reveals loss of the balustrades , the bridge and the lake , which has been filled and is now used for horses . The remainder of the site is heavily wooded and has dense undergrowth , with some contemporary fly tipping of refuse .

neg: Grade II listed buildings in Brighton and Hove: M As of February 2001 , there were 1,124 listed buildings with Grade II status in the English city of Brighton and Hove . The total at 2009 was similar . The city , on the English Channel coast approximately 52 mi south of London , was formed as a unitary authority in 1997 by the merger of the neighbouring towns of Brighton and Hove . Queen Elizabeth II granted city status in 2000 .   In England , a building or structure is defined as `` listed '' when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of `` special architectural or historic interest '' by the Secretary of State for Culture , Media and Sport , a Government department , in accordance with the Planning ( Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas ) Act 1990 . English Heritage , a non-departmental public body , acts as an agency of this department to administer the process and advise the department on relevant issues . There are three grades of listing status . The Grade II designation is the lowest , and is used for `` nationally important buildings of special interest '' . Grade II * is used for `` particularly important buildings of more than special interest '' ; there are 69 such buildings in the city . There are also 24 Grade I listed buildings ( defined as being of `` exceptional interest '' and greater than national importance , and the highest of the three grades ) in Brighton and Hove .   This list summarises 131 Grade II-listed buildings and structures whose names begin with M. Numbered buildings with no individual name are listed by the name of the street they stand on . Some listings include contributory fixtures such as surrounding walls or railings in front of the building . These are summarised by notes alongside the building name .

neg: British Overseas Territories The 14 British Overseas Territories ( BOT ) are territories under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the United Kingdom . They are the parts of the British Empire that have not been granted independence or have voted to remain British territories . These territories do not form part of the United Kingdom and , with the exception of Gibraltar , are not part of the European Union . Most of the inhabited territories are internally self-governing , with the UK retaining responsibility for defence and foreign relations . The rest are either uninhabited or have a transitory population of military or scientific personnel . They share the British monarch ( Elizabeth II ) as head of state .   The term `` British Overseas Territory '' was introduced by the British Overseas Territories Act 2002 , replacing the term British Dependent Territory , introduced by the British Nationality Act 1981 . Prior to 1 January 1983 , the territories were officially referred to as British Crown Colonies . With the exceptions of the British Antarctic Territory and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands ( which host only officials and research station staff ) and the British Indian Ocean Territory ( used as a military base ) , the Territories retain permanent civilian populations . Permanent residency for the 7,000 or so civilians living in the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia is limited to citizens of the Republic of Cyprus .   Collectively , the Territories encompass a population of about 250,000 people and a land area of about 667018 sqmi . The vast majority of this land area , 660000 sqmi , constitutes the almost uninhabited British Antarctic Territory , while the largest territory by population , Bermuda , accounts for almost a quarter of the total BOT population . At the other end of the scale , three territories have no civilian population ; the Antarctic territory , the British Indian Ocean Territory ( from which the Chagos Islanders were controversially removed ) and South Georgia . Pitcairn Islands , settled by the survivors of the Mutiny on the Bounty , is the smallest settled territory with 49 inhabitants , while the smallest by land area is Gibraltar on the southern tip of the Iberian peninsula . The United Kingdom participates in the Antarctic Treaty System and , as part of a mutual agreement , the British Antarctic Territory is recognised by four of the other sovereign nations making claims to Antarctic territory .   Although the Crown dependencies of Jersey , Guernsey and the Isle of Man are also under the sovereignty of the British monarch , they are in a different constitutional relationship with the United Kingdom . The British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies are themselves distinct from the Commonwealth realms , a group of 15 independent countries ( and the United Kingdom ) which each also have Elizabeth II as their reigning monarch , and from the Commonwealth of Nations , a voluntary association of 52 countries mostly with historic links to the British Empire ( which also includes all Commonwealth realms ) .   the Minister responsible for the Territories excluding the Falkland Islands , Gibraltar and the Sovereign Base Areas is Baroness Anelay , Minister of State for the Commonwealth and the UN . The other three territories are the responsibility of Sir Alan Duncan MP , Minister of State for Europe and the Americas .

neg: Hampton Court Park Hampton Court Park , adjacent to Hampton Court Palace and Gardens in South London , England , is a royal park managed by the Historic Royal Palaces . In 2014 , part of it was designated a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest together with Bushy Park and Hampton Court Golf Course .   It is a walled deer park of around 700 acre , with a herd of fallow deer , and has been open to the public since 1894 . The A308 road and the River Thames form its boundaries . North of the A308 is Bushy Park . The Royal Mews still graze some of their horses on the park in the summer .   The Long Water runs roughly eastward from the back of Hampton Court Palace and at the eastern end is the Golden Jubilee Fountain .

neg: Ca' d'Oro Ca ' d'Oro ( correctly Palazzo Santa Sofia ) is a palace on the Grand Canal in Venice , northern Italy . One of the older palaces in the city , it is known as Ca ' d'Oro ( `` golden house '' ) due to the gilt and polychrome external decorations which once adorned its walls .

neg: Albinism Albinism in humans is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin , hair and eyes . Albinism is associated with a number of vision defects , such as photophobia , nystagmus , and amblyopia . Lack of skin pigmentation makes for more susceptibility to sunburn and skin cancers . In rare cases such as Chédiak -- Higashi syndrome , albinism may be associated with deficiencies in the transportation of melanin granules . This also affects essential granules present in immune cells leading to increased susceptibility to infection .   Albinism results from inheritance of recessive gene alleles and is known to affect all vertebrates , including humans . It is due to absence or defect of tyrosinase , a copper-containing enzyme involved in the production of melanin . It is the opposite of melanism . Unlike humans , other animals have multiple pigments and for these , albinism is considered to be a hereditary condition characterised by the absence of melanin in particular , in the eyes , skin , hair , scales , feathers or cuticle . While an organism with complete absence of melanin is called an albino an organism with only a diminished amount of melanin is described as leucistic or albinoid . The term is from the Latin albus , `` white '' .

neg: Papal majordomo The papal majordomo or chief steward of the household of the pope is one of the three ( formerly four ) palatine prelates ( prelati palatini ) , concerning whom particulars have been given in the article maestro di camera .   He belongs also to the four `` prelati di fiocchetto '' , so called because they have the right to ornament the harness of their horses with violet and peacock-coloured feathers . The four prelates di fiocchetto are the Governor of Rome in his quality of Vice-Chamberlain , the Auditor and the Treasurer of the Apostolic chamber , and the Majordomo .   In the `` Introitus et Exitus Cameræ Apostolicæ '' of the Vatican Archives , which begins with the year 1295 , the officials of the Apostolic Household were given in regular order according to their stipends . Although even at this date there undoubtedly existed a supreme steward of the papal palace , the name and duties attached to the office of a majordomo were not strictly defined until later . The alterations in the domestic administration of the papal household , necessitated under Clement V and John XXII by the transition from the `` natural economy '' to the `` economy of money '' , were of a far-reaching nature ; but it was only after the return of Martin V from Avignon to Rome in 1418 that the modern offices were gradually evolved , to attain subsequently during the Renaissance a full development . In the sixteenth century a maestro DI casa ` master of the house ( hold ) ' stood at the head of the whole administration of the papal household .   Towards the end of the 16th century , the same official was accorded the title of prefetto del Sacro Palazzo Apostolico , and under Urban VIII ( 1623 -- 44 ) he was first granted the title of Maggiordomo Pontificio ` pontifical majordomo ' . It was then his duty , on the accession of a new pope , to form the papal famiglia , that is , to suggest candidates for the various household offices and then to direct the whole household . In so far as this duty necessitated expenditure , the Treasurer of the Holy Roman Church , the minister of finance for the time being , exercised sharply defined control over the majordomo and his assistants . This circumstance did not , however , constitute the treasurer a household official , or the Præfectus Sacri Palatii and administrative official ; the Majordomo has always been exclusively a household official . A complete list of the occupants of the office from 1534 is preserved . The general rule recognised by the Roman Curia at the close of the Middle Ages , that the head of any important , department should have jurisdiction over all his assistants , extended to the Majordomo . Not merely in civil matters but likewise in criminal charges , sedebat pro tribunali -- he pronounced judgment on all officials of the papal palace . In the course of time his duties as majordomo were sharply distinguished from those he performed as Prefect of the Palace , so that the majordomo was said to be simultaneously Prefect of the Palace . To the prefecture belonged the management of the museums and of all establishments of a special kind existing in the palaces -- provided they were not autonomous . The keeping of the palace accounts also fell to the prefect .   After 1870 , following the loss of the Papal states to reunited Italy , there was a great change in these conditions . The important office of the prefect was separated from that of the majordomo , and entrusted to the commission of cardinals appointed to administer the business affairs of the Holy See . The arrangement of Leo XIII was so far altered by Pius X , that the Cardinal Secretary of State was made Prefect of the Apostolic Palaces . Subordinate to him were the subprefect , the forriere maggiore , the cavallerizzo maggiore , the segreteria della prefettiora , the computisteria , the architetto and the juristic counsellors , forming in their corporate capacity , the divisional boards of direction of the palace administration . The museums and galleries were also entrusted to this body .   The above-mentioned alteration by Leo XIII took place on 29 December 1891 , after the prefecture had been separated by a Motu proprio of 7 December . The rights of the Majordomo became as follows : He retained his old privilege of accompanying the Pope , and remained Governor of the Conclave . In this capacity he has the general control of the personnel of the palaces , and responsibility for the quiet and good order therein during the Conclave . In the Congresso Palatino ( Palatine Commission ) , should it be hereafter convened , he got a seat and a vote . He conducted the Congregation of the Apostolic Hospice and was director of the Sistine Chapel Choir , the musical direction of which was in 1910 entrusted to Maestro Perosi . All ordinary and extraordinary religious functions in which the pope and papal court participate came under his arrangement and direction . The appointments of papal chamberlains were forwarded by him at the pope 's order , and he distributed the annual medals to the members of the papal household . His earlier duty of issuing cards of admission to the galleries and museums for purposes of study and copying was withdrawn from him . The Majordomo as the chief Prelate of the Household has a distinctive dress and a free official residence in the papal palace .

neg: Winfield House Winfield House is a mansion set in 12 acre of grounds in Regent 's Park , the second largest private garden in central London , after that of Buckingham Palace . Since 1955 , it has been the official residence of the United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James 's . It is Grade II listed as an `` exceptional ambassador 's residence and as a notable Neo-Georgian town house containing numerous features of note . ''

neg: Crown Estate The Crown Estate is a collection of lands and holdings in the United Kingdom belonging to the British monarch as a corporation sole , making it the `` Sovereign 's public estate '' , which is neither government property nor part of the monarch 's private estate . As a result of this arrangement , the sovereign is not involved with the management or administration of the estate , exercising only very limited control of its affairs . Instead , the estate 's extensive portfolio is overseen by a semi-independent , incorporated public body headed by the Crown Estate Commissioners , who exercise `` the powers of ownership '' of the estate , although they are not `` owners in their own right '' . The revenues from these hereditary possessions have been placed by the monarch at the disposition of Her Majesty 's Government and thus proceed directly to Her Majesty 's Treasury for the benefit of the British nation . The Crown Estate is formally accountable to the Parliament of the United Kingdom , where it is legally mandated to make an annual report to the sovereign , a copy of which is forwarded to the House of Commons .   The Crown Estate is one of the largest property managers in the United Kingdom , overseeing property worth # 12 billion , with urban properties valued at # 9.1 billion representing the majority of the estate by value . These include a large number of properties in central London , but the estate also controls 792000 ha of agricultural land and forest , more than half of the UK 's foreshore , and retains various other traditional holdings and rights , including Ascot Racecourse and Windsor Great Park . Naturally occurring gold and silver in the UK , collectively known as `` Mines Royal '' , are managed by The Crown Estate and leased to mining operators .   Historically , Crown Estate properties were administered by the reigning monarch to help fund the business of governing the country . However , in 1760 , George III surrendered control over the Estate 's revenues to the treasury , thus relieving him of the responsibility of personally paying for the costs of the civil service , defence costs , the national debt , and his own personal debts . In return , he received an annual grant known as the Civil list . By tradition , each subsequent monarch agreed to this arrangement upon his or her accession . However , from 1 April 2012 , under the terms of the Sovereign Grant Act 2011 ( SSG ) , the Civil List was abolished and the monarch was thenceforth provided with a stable source of revenue indexed to a percentage of the Crown Estate 's annual net revenue ( currently set at 15 % ) . This was intended to provide a long-term solution and remove the politically sensitive issue of Parliament having to debate the Civil List allowance every ten years . Subsequently , the Sovereign Grant Act allows for all future monarchs to simply extend these provisions for their reigns by Order in Council . The act does not imply any legal change on the nature of the estate 's ownership , but is simply a benchmark by which the sovereign grant is set as a grant by Parliament .

neg: British Museum Act 1963 The British Museum Act 1963 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom . It replaced the British Museum Act 1902 . The Act forbids the Museum from disposing of its holdings , except in a small number of special circumstances . The amendment of the Act would , therefore , be a necessary precursor of the return of items such as the Elgin Marbles or Benin Bronzes . In May 2005 a judge of the High Court of England and Wales ruled that Nazi-looted Old Master artworks held at the museum could not be returned .   The Act also made the Natural History Museum an independent organisation , with its own board of trustees .

neg: Palazzo Chigi The Palazzo Chigi ( -LSB- paˈlattso ˈkiːdʒi -RSB- ) is a palace or noble residence in Rome and the official residence of the Prime Minister of the Italian Republic . Since December 12 , 2016 , the occupant of Palazzo Chigi is Paolo Gentiloni .   The Palazzo , overlooking the Piazza Colonna and the Via del Corso , was begun in 1562 by Giacomo della Porta and completed by Carlo Maderno in 1580 for the Aldobrandini family . In 1659 it was purchased by the Chigi family . It was then remodelled by Felice della Greca and Giovan Battista Contini . It has five floors , a broad stairway that leads to the living rooms , and a courtyard decorated with a fountain , designed by Giacomo della Porta . The fountain has been copied in many sites in Rome and other Italian cities .   In 1878 it became the residence of the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador to Italy . In 1916 it was bought by the Italian state and became the seat of the Minister for Colonial Affairs . Later it was the official residence of the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs . In 1961 it became the official meeting place of Council of Ministers whose President is the head of the Italian government .   The Library Hall was commissioned by Agostino Chigi at the end of the 17th century in order to house the enormous library of cardinal Flavio Chigi . The project was realized by Giovan Battista Contini , a famous architect of the period .  The Chigi library or Chigiana contained thousands of valuable manuscripts , to a large part based on the personal library of Pope Alexander VII , a member of the Chigi family . Since the time of Pope Benedict XV , the Vatican attempted to acquire this library , but lacked the necessary funds . Eventually , Pietro Tacchi Venturi was tasked by Pope Pius XI to negotiate the purchase with the newly formed fascist government of Benito Mussolini . Venturi managed to convince Mussolini to donate the library to the Vatican free of charge .

neg: Scott's Grotto Scott 's Grotto in Ware , Hertfordshire is a Grade I listed building and the largest grotto in the United Kingdom . The surrounding gardens and structures are Grade II * listed .   The grotto is set into the northeast face of a hill , and comprises an entrance hall and a series of six chambers extending over 65 ft into and 30 ft below the chalk hillside , together with air shafts , light wells and connecting passages . The chambers are decorated with shells , stones such as flint and fossils , and coloured glass . A plan drawn in 1900 calls the six chambers the `` Council Chamber '' ( a circular chamber 12 ft in diameter to the right of the entrance , with a domed roof light ) , and smaller chambers to the left of the entrance are named the `` Committee Room No 2 '' ( a square chamber with niches ) and the `` Refreshments Room '' ; on the centreline , connected by an air shaft , are the `` Consulting Room '' , the `` Committee Room '' , and the `` Robing Room '' .   The grotto was formerly in the garden of Amwell House . Its construction may have taken several years and was completed by John Scott , an 18th-century Quaker poet who inherited Amwell House from his father in 1768 . Scott also had other romantic features built in his garden , including an octagonal gazebo on the hillside above . Scott kept a book which lists 3,000 visitors from 1779 to 1787 . Samuel Johnson visited in 1773 , describing it as a `` fairy hall '' .   The house and garden were inherited by Scott 's daughter Marie . The nearby Scotts Road was built after she died in 1863 and the land was acquired by British Land for development . The grotto was opened to visiting tourists in the 19th century , and become a listed building in 1950 . Modern houses were built on Scotts Road in the 1960s and 1970s ; originally the builders intended to demolish the grotto to build houses , but the local council intervened and the grotto was left in a patch of open ground .

neg: Grade II* listed buildings in Brighton and Hove There are 70 Grade II * listed buildings in the city of Brighton and Hove , England . The city , on the English Channel coast approximately 52 mi south of London , was formed as a unitary authority in 1997 by the merger of the neighbouring towns of Brighton and Hove . Queen Elizabeth II granted city status in 2000 .   In England , a building or structure is defined as `` listed '' when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of `` special architectural or historic interest '' by the Secretary of State for Culture , Media and Sport , a Government department , in accordance with the Planning ( Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas ) Act 1990 . English Heritage , a non-departmental public body , acts as an agency of this department to administer the process and advise the department on relevant issues . There are three grades of listing status . Grade I , the highest , is defined as being of `` exceptional interest '' ; Grade II * is used for `` particularly important buildings of more than special interest '' ; and Grade II , the lowest , is used for buildings of `` special interest '' .   Brighton was founded on top of the sea-facing cliffs where the South Downs meet the English Channel . A series of valleys allowed transport routes to develop towards Lewes , London and other important settlements . Although Neolithic settlement has been confirmed , the Anglo-Saxons were the first permanent settlers ; the population was about 400 by the time of the Domesday survey in 1086 . Its neighbour Hove , on flatter , more fertile land to the west , developed concurrently but independently : its existence was recorded in 1288 , and two separate prebends ( similar to benefices ) existed by 1291 . Fishing , farming and smuggling drove the economy , but decline set in during the Middle Ages and persisted until the 19th century . Coastal flooding destroyed buildings on many occasions , the parish church fell into ruins , and the population -- almost all poor -- numbered about 100 in 1801 .   Brighton became fashionable as a holiday destination and health resort in the mid-18th century , and royal patronage ( particularly by the flamboyant Prince Regent ) increased its popularity with high society and the upper classes . Day-trippers and longer-term visitors from other social classes soon followed , and by the early 19th century the town was Britain 's foremost seaside resort . Developments such as Royal Crescent , Regency Square , Oriental Place and Park Crescent characterised the bold architectural vision of the town 's new residents ; the design triumvirate of Amon Wilds , Amon Henry Wilds and Charles Busby were instrumental in realising these plans . Hove 's fortunes improved in line with Brighton 's success , and developments such as Palmeira Mansions and Sir Isaac Goldsmid 's Adelaide Crescent covered the fields between the ancient village of Hove and Brighton 's continuous westward expansion .   The Vicar of Brighton , Rev. Henry Michell Wagner -- a wealthy , progressive clergyman with strong Anglo-Catholic views and an interest in architecture -- and his son and successor Rev. Arthur Wagner were responsible for an array of new churches throughout Brighton and Hove ( especially in poorer residential areas ) ; many are listed at Grade I , and the Grade II * - listed examples of St Martin 's and St Paul 's merely add to a stock of Victorian places of worship which has been described as one of the best outside London . Elsewhere during the Victorian era , the former parish churches of both Brighton and Hove were rebuilt ; an elaborate synagogue was provided for the Jewish population ; Roman Catholic worship became established at the Classical-style St John the Baptist 's Church ; a new parish church was established in the form of Charles Barry 's St Peter 's ; and several other churches were established .   Both towns were incorporated as boroughs : Brighton in 1854 , Hove in 1898 . Expansion in the 20th century , as the urban area became a large regional centre , resulted in ancient villages being absorbed into the boroughs . Hangleton , West Blatchington , Ovingdean , Rottingdean and others had historic buildings and long-established churches of their own ; by 1928 , Acts of Parliament had brought them into `` Greater Brighton and Hove '' . In 1997 , the towns were officially united as a unitary authority ; three years later , city status was secured .   Some listings include contributory fixtures such as surrounding walls or railings in front of the building . These are summarised by notes alongside the building name .

neg: Secrets of Women Secrets of Women ( Kvinnors väntan also known as Waiting Women ) is a 1952 Swedish film directed by Ingmar Bergman . It was screened within the official selection of Venice Film Festival ( 1953 ) .   It is one of Bergman 's early films , and essentially a drama about young relationships told in flashbacks by a group of women . However , as it came to be afterwards : the most memorable part of the film is the humorous elevator-scene between actors Gunnar Björnstrand and Eva Dahlbeck ( a scene that was written as a kind of sketch ) . This scene was Bergman 's first attempt at comedy in film . He later stated it was this scene that made him realize he could write comedy at all , which many say he repeated more successfully in the films A Lesson in Love ( 1954 ) and Smiles of a Summer Night ( 1955 ) .

In 2003 Daily Variety announced Antidote 's plans for a film adaptation of the JT LeRoy novel ` Sarah ' , to be directed by Steven Shainberg . According to The New York Times , when Shainberg learned that JT LeRoy was a literary persona and that Laura Albert was the actual author of Sarah , he decided `` to make a ` meta-film , ' a triple-layered movie that would blend the novel with the lives of its real and purported authors in a project he took to calling ` Sarah Plus . ' '' The Times also reported that this new project `` required the rights to Laura Albert 's story , rights that she in no uncertain terms refused to grant . '' In June 2007 Antidote sued Albert for fraud , claiming that a contract signed with JT LeRoy to make a feature film of Sarah was null and void . After a Manhattan jury found Albert liable in monetary damages for the tort of fraud because she had signed her nom de plume to the movie contract , The New York Times noted that Jeffrey Levy-Hinte said , `` if Ms. Albert , who never made a fortune from her literary works , could not afford to pay the judgment , he might have to consider laying claim to the rights to her past and future books . '' Levy-Hinte 's chief lawyer insisted , `` Neither Jeff nor I want to ruin Laura Albert . We just want her to behave with a little more integrity . '' After an appeal , the damages awarded were reduced by settlement with Antidote in 2009 , and Laura Albert retained the rights to her books and her life story .

Harrison , a lake freighter for a Chicago-based steel concern . Dale 's predecessor , Guigliani , endured a particularly violent end while on terra firma , the cause and nature of which is speculated by the other crew members . Dale , and the audience , gets to know each of them , including : Fireman , who reads voraciously when not `` watching the gauges '' ; Fred , who imparts his unique , politically incorrect philosophy regarding women on the young man ; and , especially , Joe Litko , a 23-year veteran of the seas , who sees much of himself in Dale . The dialogue is Mametspeak at its most raw , as secrets are shared , picayune matters are debated , and fantasies are laid out , vividly .   The play 's world premiere was staged by the Milwaukee Repertory Theater on April 24 , 1980 ; subsequent major productions were mounted by the Long Wharf Theatre and the Goodman Theatre in 1982 . In 2000 , Mamet penned the screenplay for a film adaptation , which featured his half-brother Tony Mamet in the lead role of Dale . The ensemble cast also included Robert Forster as Joe Litko , Denis Leary as Fireman , and Jack Wallace , a veteran of Mamet productions , as Fred . Joe Mantegna , well-versed in the world of Mamet , made his directorial debut with the feature .   The British Premiere of Lakeboat was at the Lyric Theatre , London in 1998 , and was directed by Aaron Mullen .
