Ethyl formate

Ethyl formate is an ester formed when ethanol (an alcohol) reacts with formic acid (a carboxylic acid). Ethyl formate has the characteristic smell of rum and is partially responsible for the flavor of raspberries, occurring naturally in some plant oils, fruits, and juices. Ethyl formate does not occur naturally in the animal kingdom.

Exposure
Ethyl formate is generally recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

According to the U.S Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), ethyl formate can irritate eyes, skin, mucous membranes, and the respiratory system of humans and other animals; it is also a central nervous system depressant. In industry, it is used as a solvent for cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate, oils, and greases. It can be used as a substitute for acetone; workers may also be exposed to it under the following circumstances:
 * during spray, brush, or dip applications of lacquers
 * during the manufacture of safety glass
 * when fumigating tobacco, cereals, and dried fruits (as an alternative to methyl bromide under the U.S. Department of Agriculture quarantine system )

OSHA considers a time-weighted average of 100 parts per million (300 milligrams per cubic meter) over an eight-hour period as the permissible exposure limit. The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) also considers a time-weighted average of 100 ppm over an eight-hour period as the recommended exposure limit.

In space
Ethyl formate has been identified in dust clouds in an area of the Milky Way galaxy called Sagittarius B2. It is among 50 molecular species identified using the 30 metre IRAM radiotelescope.

Talk:Dark horse

Untitled
Ummm.... I do believe that a "dark horse" originally is actually a horse in racing about which little is known generally. But the trainers have been keeping quiet that it's a very good racer. Thus it has long odds but a good chance of winning.

The use of dark horse outside of racing was coined to describe James K. Polk and there is no metion of him...

Also, a "dark horse" in film is a movie which seems obscure but does unexpectedly well.

Thus, a "dark horse" generally is anything that comes from seemingly obscure origins but turns out to be very successful.

This article should be moved to "dark horse candidate" and a new one created for "dark horse" Sbwoodside 18:42, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, that background is interesting. Quite a lot of articles link to Dark horse and it looks as if (almost?) all mean the candidate. Rather than have to sort all that out, a disambiguation page might be better. However, I suggest adding your etymology to the top of the present article (well worth it in my view). I think this would improve the article and still leave it quite managable. Thincat 08:47, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * That's what my original reaction was, actually...M1ss1ontomars2k4 17:58, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

do you guys over in the USA only apply this term for presidential elections/nominees? because if not, then pope john paul II would be another example, where non-americans could possibly relate to better than just a list of your presidents. regard, 84.129.177.44 15:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Abraham Lincoln
I added him. :) Xelnanga 16:56, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Dark Horse as a more general expression.
Shouldn't we have a main Wikipedia entry about the expression "Dark Horse" with "Dark Horse candidates" referred to within the article, or even with their own article? I see above people have talked about the disambiguation page and of "sorting out links", but this is in my opinion a rather sloppy way of fixing a rather nonsensical situation.

My reasoning behind this - (as discussed elsewhere) people have been using the expression "dark horse" since the year dot to describe any competitor or thing that exhibits the same qualities as are used for the narrow "dark horse candidate" definition - Dark horses for Academy awards, for Olympic medals etc. The term is in common usage in the rest of the English speaking world.

If you go and look at the entry for "Dark Horse Records" you will see that it is a record company that George Harrison started, with the name being a reference to Harrison's own status as a "dark horse" (as a singer and songwriter) among the more fancied Lennon and McCartney. Right now we have the absurd situation of "dark horse" from that article (referring to Harrison) linking to Dark Horse (candidates). Where's the Wikipedia entry for the actual expression? There isn't one because this is in its spot.

Coming from outside the USA I had never even heard of the "Dark Horse candidate" usage and while I can completely understand it as a totally valid TYPE of Dark horse, it certainly shouldn't be the root definition. It would be like looking up "Banana" and having it be all about Banana Splits - then making a disambiguation page because lots of banana split related material links to "banana"70.189.213.149 (talk) 14:25, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Seconded. Can I ask for current opinions on renaming this article to Dark horse candidate with a new, more general, article called Dark horse? Millstream3 (talk) 10:02, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Another vote. At the very least, this article needs to be less US-centric.  Here in the UK, "dark horse" does not have a political context but is used as a mildly approving term to mean a person (usually male) with a surprising and previously unknown talent or achievement, perhaps with a slightly wicked flavour, for example an impressive sexual conquest.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.34.218.209 (talk) 13:33, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Made it less US-centric because it was really bad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.98.202 (talk) 16:11, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think American usage is quite so one-sidedly in favor of the political meaning. This American at least uses the expression and has encountered it in reports of NASCAR events and college basketball tournaments where the root meaning is used. Also, there is always Dark Horse Comics. Don't extrapolate too far from those Americans who have contributed to this article so far, their familiarity with only the political usage is not necessarily indicative of US usage in general. --Khajidha (talk) 04:42, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The term is general, and the narrow focus on politics in this article overloads it somewhat. However I see no need for any separate article for 'dark horse candidate' since the sense is exactly the meaning of the term, which can apply in any situation - even romantic (such as when a quiet guy/girl successfully wins the attention of the person they like). Onanoff (talk) 16:32, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

'Unlikely to succeed' ?
In the UK at least, I'm pretty sure when something is described as a 'dark horse', the emphasis is on the fact that despite a lack of 'form', there's a possibility of a *good* performance? Happypoems (talk) 13:58, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Clinton
I would think Bill Clinton would be another person to add to the dark horse President list. An almost unknown Governor of Arkansas in 1991, when Mario Cuomo, Jerry Brown and Paul Tsongas were all much better known, with a national profile, it wasn't until the Gennifer Flowers scandal erupted that Clinton became nationally known. 98.10.165.90 (talk) 02:19, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Ronco

HD Schulman International Trading LLC, doing business as Ronco, is an American company that manufactures and sells kitchen appliances. Ron Popeil founded the company in 1964, and infomercials for the company's products quickly made Ronco a household name. Popeil became known as the “father of the infomercial” and helped to establish the phrase, “Set it and forget it!” in reference to Ronco’s signature product: the rotisserie oven. The names "Ronco" and "Popeil" and the suffix "-O-Matic" (used in many early product names) became icons of American popular culture and were often referred to by comedians introducing fictional gadgets and As-Seen-On-TV parodies. Ronco still creates and sells innovative products 60 years later on their website ronco.com, on Amazon at amazon.com/ronco, and other major online retailers such as Macy’s, Target, Walmart, Bed Bath and Beyond, Kohl’s, Wayfair, QVC, Kroger, and more.

History
Ron Popeil was inspired to start the company by the open market hustling he saw on Maxwell Street in Chicago during his youth. In the beginning, the company chiefly sold inventions developed by Popeil's father, Samuel "S.J." Popeil. Products include the Veg-O-Matic and the Popeil Pocket Fisherman, a product manufactured by S.J. Popeil's company. During the 1970s, Ron Popeil began developing products on his own to sell through Ronco.

In August 2005, Popeil announced his sale of the company to Fi-Tek VII, a Denver holding company, for $55 million. He was expected to continue working with the company as spokesman and product developer, but sold the company in order to have more time with his family. Fi-Tek VII changed its name to Ronco, and maintained the right of first refusal for Popeil's future inventions. He continued to develop and market inventions through a successor company, Ron's Enterprises.

Popeil Inventions, Inc. attempted to acquire the trademark on the phrase "set it and forget it," used in the commercials for the Showtime Rotisserie Grill (and "Household goods, namely, rotisseries, electric food dehydrators and structural parts therefor, namely, dehydrator trays and screens") on May 5, 2005, but had abandoned the application by June 5, 2006. The phrase has gone on to be used in popular culture, and has also been used as a trademark in the sale of many other goods.

On June 14, 2007, Ronco filed Chapter 11 in U.S. bankruptcy court. Paperwork filed showed that Ronco creditors, the largest of which was Popeil himself, were owed US$32.7 million.

In 2011, CD3 Holdings, Inc., a consumer products company, acquired Ronco.

On April 27, 2018, Ronco filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, seeking time to reorganize after failing to secure funding.

On June 13, 2018, Ronco changed its bankruptcy filing from Chapter 11 (reorganization) to Chapter 7, full liquidation and shutdown.

As of 2022, HD Schulman International Trading, LLC had purchased the rights to the Ronco brand and its portfolio of products, and markets them through the ronco.com website.

Inventions
Ronco is known for a wide range of products marketed and in some cases invented by Ron Popeil. Among them are:

 * Showtime Rotisserie: The Ronco collection of rotisserie ovens excels at masterfully roasting an assortment of culinary delights, ranging from succulent whole chickens and flavorful barbecue ribs to tender lamb racks, seafood, and an array of roasted vegetables. "Set it, and forget it!"
 * Electric Food Dehydrator: Make apple chips, dried bananas, turkey jerky, beef jerky and more from the comfort of your home without all the additives and preservatives, and excess sugar.
 * Popeil Pocket Fisherman: A handheld folding fishing rod and reel preloaded with fishing line and includes a hook, swivel, weight, bobber, practice casting plug and 1 bonus lure. "The biggest fishing invention since the hook ... and still only $19.95!" (according to the program Biography, the original product was the invention of Popeil's father and only marketed by Ronco, but as of 2006, Popeil had introduced a redesigned version of the product)
 * Solid Flavor Injector: Used to inject solid ingredients into meat or other foods. A similar product, called the Liquid Flavor Injector, allowed for the injecting of liquid ingredients into meat; e.g., lime juice into chicken. This product accompanied the Showtime Rotisserie.
 * Chop-O-Matic: a hand food processor. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to show you the greatest kitchen appliance ever made ...All your onions chopped to perfection without shedding a single tear."
 * Dial-O-Matic: successor to the Veg-O-Matic (and very similar to a mandolin slicer). "Slice a tomato so thin it only has one side." "When chopping onions with this machine, the only tears you will shed will be tears of joy."
 * Mr. Microphone: a short-range hand-held radio transmitter that would broadcast over an FM radio. The nearby radio(s) would therefore amplify the sound coming from the Mr. Microphone. Though not the first microphone to broadcast over the radio, it was by far the most popular, remaining on the market for over a decade. In the ad, a convertible rolls past with the FM radio turned up; a young man in the car transmits using a Mr. Microphone, "Hey, good-lookin', we'll be back to pick ya up later!" The ad has been subject to numerous parodies over the years. Mr. Microphone is referenced in Police Academy 2, Sabrina: The Teenage Witch in the fourth season finale "The End of an Era" and is parodied extensively in The Simpsons episode "Radio Bart".
 * Inside-The-Shell Egg Scrambler: "Gets rid of those slimy egg whites in your scrambled eggs." Popeil has said the inspiration for this product was his lifelong revulsion toward incompletely blended scrambled eggs.
 * Six Star 20-Piece Cutlery Set
 * GLH-9 (Great Looking Hair Formula #9): hair in a spray can
 * Drain Buster
 * Smokeless Ashtray: a device which used an integrated fan to draw smoke away from the materials in the ashtray.
 * Ronco Popeil Automatic Pasta Maker
 * Ronco Rhinestone Stud Setter: "It changes everyday clothing into exciting fashions and you don't have to spend a fortune."
 * The Cap Snaffler: bottle opener. "Snaffles caps off any size jug, bottle, or jar ...and it really, really works."

Awards

 * The Ronco Inside-The-Shell Electric Egg Scrambler, from 1978, won 84th place in Mobile Magazine's Top 100 Gadgets of All Time.
 * Consumers Digest Award "Best Buy in Rotisserie" Dec. 2010

Records
Ronco, like its rival K-tel, was also a record label, issuing compilation albums created for TV advertising and licensed from major record labels. In the United Kingdom, its first album was 20 Star Tracks, released in 1972. It issued three albums that reached No. 1 on the U.K. album charts: the That'll Be the Day soundtrack in 1973, which was removed from the U.K. charts after six consecutive weeks at No. 1, as TV-advertised compilations were banned from the chart; Disco Daze and Disco Nites in 1981; and Raiders of the Pop Charts, released at the end of 1982, topping the chart in 1983. Its then-novel marketing techniques made it a major force, until the emergence of the Now That's What I Call Music! albums and their imitators, after which Ronco rapidly disappeared from the U.K. album market in 1984, when its parent company went bankrupt. Many of its U.K. ads in the 1970s and 1980s, whether for its kitchen products or albums, featured the voice of Tommy Vance.

Shephall

Shephall is a neighbourhood of the new town of Stevenage in Hertfordshire. It was formerly a separate village and parish, being absorbed into Stevenage in 1953.

Name
Spellings of Shephall have included: Scepa-halh (before 1066); Escepehale (in the Domesday Book of 1086); Sepehale (in the St Albans Abbey rolls for 1077–93); Sepehalle, Scephale and Shephale (11th and 12th centuries); Schephale, Shepehale and Chepehale (15th century); and Shepehalle and Shepholde (16th century). It was often called Sheephall in the 19th century. The English Place-Names Society translates the name as "a corner of land where sheep are pastured". The meaning "ash-tree slope" has also been supported, but evidence from the nearby Fairlands, which has origins in the Scandinavian word faar, meaning "sheep", makes it more likely that "Shephall" does mean "a sheep pasture".

Before 1946
Before the new town of Stevenage was built, Shephall existed as a village, separated from the old town of Stevenage by three miles of fields and woodlands. Shephall was connected to the main road from Stevenage to Hertford by Shephall Lane, at the hamlet of Broadwater. Shephall has a distinct history from the rest of Stevenage.

Sometime before the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, a church was built in "Scepa-halh", probably of wood. It was built in a corner of the parish, close to the parish of Aston, possibly in a "no man's land" between manors, and people soon moved close to it. At this time, the entire manor of five hides, made up of arable land, meadows, woodland and pasture, was held by the Abbot of St Albans. After the conquest, two of the hides were obtained by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Domesday Book of 1086 shows that "Escepehale" was in the Hundred of Broadwater, and it lists 11 villagers, two cottagers and one slave in 1086, though the actual population is unsure as each individual listed may have represented a household, and the entry may not include the entire population. The population could have been around 56 people. Some time after 1086, the hides owned by the Archbishop of Canterbury were re-acquired by Abbot Paul of St Albans, and the whole manor of Shephall was then owned by St Albans Abbey for 450 years. In this time, Shephall was brought into the Hundred of Cashio. Shephall was closely associated with its neighbour, Aston, which was larger and more prosperous than both Shephall and Stevenage. A small wooden church, St Mary's, was built in Shephall in the 12th century, and was replaced in the late 14th and early 15th centuries by one of brick and stone. The church was confirmed to the monastery of St Alban by Pope Honorius III in 1218, and a vicarage was ordained and endowed.

Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, specifically that of St Albans Abbey in 1539, the manor of Shephall was granted to George Nodes in 1542 by King Henry VIII, together with a pension of five shillings. Nodes was a Serjeant at Arms and Serjeant of the Buckhounds to the King (and later to Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I), and was already farming the manor. The manor passed through the Nodes family, and eventually, George Nodes' great-great-nephew, Charles Nodes, became Lord of the Manor in 1634. In 1664, another George Nodes also inherited the manors of Holwell and Langford. The Nodes family lived in the original, small manor house known as Shephalbury Manor. The house had twelve rooms and domestic offices.

The Lordship of the Manor of Shephall remained in the Nodes family until 1761, when John Nodes died. No male heirs could be found, so the estate was split between his three daughters. After 1782, one of the daughters, Sarah Jacques sold her share to Michael Heathcote of London. Heathcote's grandson, Samuel Unwin, inherited this share in 1818, and the rest was later sold to him. Now Lord of the Manor, he changed his name to Samuel Heathcote Unwin Heathcote. His son, Unwin Unwin Heathcote, succeeded him in 1862, and had a new neo-Gothic house built, designed by T. Roger Smith. It was completed in 1864. The old house was demolished and a rose garden was planted on the site.

A new village school was built in Shephall at the same time as the new Shephall Manor, to replace the cottage that was previously used as a school. The Red Lion inn, opposite the church, was built in the 18th century or earlier. Other buildings in the village were the Vicarage (later the Rectory), Bury Farmhouse and cottages, many of which were situated on the village green.

Shephall parish contained part of the hamlet of Broadwater, while the parts of the hamlet on the west side of the Great North Road were in Knebworth parish. Broadwater House was also in Shephall parish, but has since been demolished. Also within the parish, close to the boundary with Aston in the south, was Broom Barns, containing about six houses and a farm. Other farms in Shephall were Home Farm, whose farmhouse still exists, though considerably rebuilt, as number 40 Shephall Green, and Half Hyde, of 600 acres. Half Hyde was a separate manor from that of Shephall.

The parish of Shephall was included in the Hitchin Poor Law Union from 1835. It therefore became part of the Hitchin Rural Sanitary District in 1872, which in turn became the Hitchin Rural District in 1894.

Records indicate that the population of Shephall was less than 100 in 1700, 120 in 1801, 265 in 1841 and 194 in 1921.

After Unwin Unwin Heathcote died in 1893, Colonel Alfred Unwin Heathcote was the last of the family to live at the manor. After his death in 1912, the house was let to Colonel Woods, then to David Augustus Bevan in 1926 and Lieutenant Colonel Morgan Grenville Gavin in 1937. The Heathcotes remained the Lords of the Manor and retained interest in village affairs until 1939 when the manor was sold by Michael Heathcote to William Harriman Moss. During the Second World War, the house was used to house children who had been evacuated there by the Waifs and Strays society. When they left, it became a convalescent home for Polish officers, and then a school for Polish children.

As part of Stevenage new town
The building of the new town of Stevenage was approved in 1946 and started in the early 1950s. The new town was initially developed as six neighbourhoods, each with its own facilities including shops and schools. Surrounding parishes, such as Knebworth, Datchworth and Aston, lost some of their land to the designated development area, but Shephall was entirely engulfed and lost its separate identity, becoming a neighbourhood of the new town. In 1951 the parish had a population of 432. The civil parish of Shephall was absorbed into Stevenage Urban District on 1 April 1953. The area north of Broadhall Way, including the old village green and the buildings around it, became the Shephall neighbourhood, and the area to the south, including the manor house and its surroundings, became the Broadwater neighbourhood. The modern district council ward of Shephall covers the 1950s neighbourhood and Shephall Green, but is smaller in area than the former parish.

In September 1947, Shephall Manor was commandeered by the Stevenage Development Corporation, who leased it to the Inner London Education Authority. The grounds were then opened for public recreation. Development of the Shephall neighbourhood started in 1953, with new buildings surrounding the old ones. Four cottages built on Shephall Lane for Corporation staff were among the first houses to be built in the New Town. Two estates, Leaves Spring and Loves Wood, were named after existing features of the landscape. The neighbourhood was completed in 1959. Several parts of the original Shephall survived, including the village green, church, Old Red Lion public house, and some cottages and other buildings, but they were cut off from their former surroundings by Broadhall Way.

A neighbourhood shopping centre was built at The Hyde, 0.5 miles east of the old village. In August 1956, Shephall received a community centre, the Broadwater Centre, which was opened by Dame Evelyn Sharp. New schools were needed, so Shephalbury Secondary Modern School, Homefield School, Heathcote School and Barnwell School were built. Shephalbury Secondary Modern School closed in the 1980s and was annexed by the Stevenage College of Further Education. The original core of the village was designated as the Shephall Green conservation area in 1973. As well as St Mary's, Shephall contains two further places of worship: St Hilda's Church (Roman Catholic) and Grace Community Church (Newfrontiers).

After the New Towns Act 1981, Shephall Manor and most of its land was owned by the New Towns Commission, and the rest was already owned by Hertfordshire County Council. The Inner London Education Authority was disbanded so the Manor was no longer required as a school. The Shephalbury Manor Action Committee was formed to save the site from development, as the Manor was not listed and the trees were not subject to preservation orders. Their campaign was successful, and in November 1988, it was listed under the Town and Country Planning Act 1971 as a building of special architectural and historic interest and achieved Grade II listed status. The house was bought by the Coptic Orthodox Church and the grounds were opened to the public as one of Stevenage's district parks.

The well canopy in the green, dating to the early 20th century, that covers a medieval well, was scheduled to be removed and not replaced by Stevenage Borough Council in 2012, but was saved after local residents' protests led to a public consultation. The structure was repaired and is now listed on Hertfordshire County Council's Historic Environment Record.
