Black dog (coin)
A dog or a black dog was a coin in the Caribbean of Queen Anne of Great Britain, made of pewter or copper, typically worth 1½ pence or 1⁄72 of a dollar. The name comes from the negative connotations of the word "dog," as they came from debased silver coins, and the dark color of those same debased coins. Black dogs were also at times called "stampes" or "stampees," as they were typically the coins of other colonial powers—French coins worth 2 sous or, equivalently, 24 diniers—stamped to make them British currency.
A dog and a stampe were not necessarily of equal value. For example, the Spanish dollar was subdivided into bits, each worth 9 pence, 6 black dogs or 4 stampees. Before 1811, 1 dollar equalled 11 bits (making a dog 1⁄66 of a dollar and a stampee 1⁄44 of a dollar); after 1811, 1 dollar equalled 12 bits (making a dog 1⁄72 of a dollar and a stampee 1⁄48 of a dollar). In 1797, however, a "black dog" is equated with a "stampee."
Mary Prince's narrative tells of slaves in Antigua buying a "dog's worth" of salted fish or pork on Sundays (the only day they could go to the market).
Black Dog Scotch Whisky
Black Dog is a brand of Scotch Whisky that is distilled, aged and blended in Scotland, and bottled and marketed in India by United Spirits Limited (USL), a subsidiary of the United Breweries Group. In 2013, Black Dog was reported to be the world's fastest growing Scotch Whisky by volume, according to International Wine and Spirits Research (IWSR). The whiskies used in the blend come from Scotland. Black Dog Scotch Whisky sold in India is bottled in Parmori District Nasik in Maharashtra, by importing the undiluted spirits from Scotland, a strategy that avoids the import duties imposed on liquor imports to India that are bottled prior to import. (Import duties may be as high as 150% for liquor bottled prior to import, but only about 30% when bottled in India.) The brand's main competitors are Teacher's (by Suntory) and Something Special (a Pernod Ricard brand).
History
Black Dog was launched in 1883, with the name Millard Black Dog, by James McKinley of the Leith family of Scotland. The whisky was named by the man who brought the whisky to India, Walter Millard of the East India Company. He named it after his favourite salmon fishing fly, known as the Black Dog.
Devon
Devon (/ˈdɛvən/; archaically known as Devonshire) is a county of England, reaching from the Bristol Channel in the north to the English Channel in the south. It is part of South West England, bounded by Cornwall to the west, Somerset to the northeast, and Dorset to the east. The City of Exeter is the county town; seven other districts of East Devon, Mid Devon, North Devon, South Hams, Teignbridge, Torridge, and West Devon are under the jurisdiction of Devon County Council; Plymouth and Torbay are each a part of Devon but administered as unitary authorities. Combined as a ceremonial county, Devon's area is 6,707 km2 (2,590 square miles) and its population is about 1.1 million.
Devon derives its name from Dumnonia, which, during the British Iron Age, Roman Britain, and Early Medieval was the homeland of the Dumnonii Brittonic Celts. The Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain resulted in the partial assimilation of Dumnonia into the Kingdom of Wessex during the eighth and ninth centuries. The western boundary with Cornwall was set at the River Tamar by King Æthelstan in 936. Devon was constituted as a shire of the Kingdom of England thereafter.
Devon (given name)
Devon is a unisex given name. It is a variant of Devin, which has Gaelic origins and means "of a little deer".
People
Devon (UK Parliament constituency)
Devon was a parliamentary constituency covering the county of Devon in England. It was represented by two Knights of the Shire, in the House of Commons of England until 1707, then of the House of Commons of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800 and finally the House of Commons of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1832. Elections were held using the bloc vote system of elections.
Under the Reform Act 1832, it was split into two divisions: Northern Devon and Southern Devon for the 1832 general election.
Boundaries
The constituency consisted of the historic county of Devon, excluding the city of Exeter which had the status of a county in itself after 1537. (Although Devon contained a number of other parliamentary boroughs, each of which elected two MPs in its own right for part of the period when Devon was a constituency, these were not excluded from the county constituency, and owning property within the borough could confer a vote at the county election. This was not the case, though, for Exeter.)

Black Dog
by: Fate{Le chien est le meilleur ami de l'homme}
Maniac creature with gigantic teething
Pay attention to that killing machine
Staring (at) me with eyes of hate
And growling like a truck engine
Appeared from nowhere
Barking and foaming
Having a terrible urge
(To) Grub my ass
(And) Shred my balls
There's only one solution if I don't want to die
It's to run ! Run ! Run ! Run !
Scared to be devoured
Running for my life
If I am lucky
I'll get out alive !
