Of all the multifarious writings of Topelius, in prose and verse, that which has enjoyed the greatest popularity is his Tales of a Barber-Surgeon, episodes of historical fiction from the days of Gustavus II.

One of the less explored manifestations of the Time Circle is the story of the Barber-Surgeon.

The Barber-Surgeon is an inhabitant of the village of Milbury, which had been built upon the original site of the stone circle.

The Barber-Surgeon, however, seeing what was taking place is able to protect himself by use of a mystic amulet.

Treatments from a Doctor, Herbalist, or a Barber-Surgeon will increase the rate of healing-or possibly decrease it if a roll vs skill is critically failed.

Whoever had caused the Barber-Surgeon to die, most likely another priest-like figure attempting to brainwash the village through use of the magic beam towards the black hole, did not succeed and the time circle again reset itself into the modern age.

The one challenge to Hendrick was a local poacher named Dai ; however, Dai suffered a mysterious death in the same location as the Barber-Surgeon had years earlier.

The TV series Children of the Stones featured an enigmatic character described as a Barber-Surgeon ( portrayed by Freddie Jones ), who had been mysteriously crushed by a fallen stone in the fictional Milbury stone circle.

The amulet was crushed, along with the Barber-Surgeon ; however his bones were later removed and the stone that killed him re-erected within the circle.

After Dai was killed, pieces of a broken amulet were found, where those pieces matched exactly the gaps in the broken amulet of the Barber-Surgeon.

Dai the poacher's life, death and activities are markedly similar to those of the Barber-Surgeon, suggesting a possible identity or link between the two characters.

In the musical Man of La Mancha, Don Quixote and his assistant Sancho Panza encounter a Barber-Surgeon, who boasts of his abilities to not only give a good shave, but bandage up any mishaps his straight razor might inflict.

Malraux, to be sure, does not abandon the world of violence, combat and sudden death which has become his hallmark as a creative artist, and which is the only world, apparently, in which his imagination can flame into life.

Starting with small stations not members of the National Association of Broadcasters, the firm apparently is seeking to break down the anti-liquor barriers in major-market stations.

It is a war to stay out of today, especially in view of the fact that President Ngo Dinh Diem apparently does not want United States troops.

But it is in the process of so doing because it apparently gives priority to trying to downgrade John F. Kennedy.

Now he is apparently expected to give up his evenings -- and Sundays, too, for this is coming.

The flood is not as great -- only 700 a week according to one apparently conservative account -- but it is symptomatic.

Having hedged its bets in this way, PHS apparently decided it would be possible to make some sort of determination after all: `` At present radiation levels, and even at somewhat higher levels, the additional risk is slight and very few people will be affected ''.

apparently it is not.

There apparently is no school of propaganda or psychological warfare.

Sir Robert Watson-Watt's `` rebuttal '' of Sir Charles Snow's Godkin Lectures is marred throughout by too forceful a desire to defend Lindemann and apparently himself from Sir Charles' supposed falsehoods while stating those `` falsehoods '' in an unclear incoherent argument.

The major gets the assured gallonage for the life of the lease and the distributor apparently can do well because delivery cost is low.

The constant-temperature contours are much smoother than those observed at 4.3 mm by Coates ( 1959 ) and apparently the emission at 8 mm is not nearly so sensitive to differences in surface features.

By the middle of the summer, many of the larvae apparently receive such a good diet that it is `` optimal '', and it is then that young queens begin to appear.

It is often stated that the largest snakes require five years to attain maturity, but this apparently is an overestimation.

Autosuggestibility, the reaction of the subject in such a way as to conform to his own expectations of the outcome ( i.e., that the arm-rise is a reaction to the pressure exerted in the voluntary contraction, because of his knowledge that `` to every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction '' ) also seems inadequate as an explanation for the following reasons: ( 1 ) the subjects' apparently genuine experience of surprise when their arms rose, and ( 2 ) manifestations of the phenomenon despite anticipations of something else happening ( e.g., of becoming dizzy and maybe falling, an expectation spontaneously volunteered by one of the subjects ).

In short, congressional power to grant federal-question authority to federal courts is now apparently so broad that Congress need not create, or specify, the right to be enforced.

That reference in the Report is `` continuation of the trend toward an all-Negro school system '', a remark apparently occasioned by the increase of Negro school population from 74.1 per cent to 76.7 per cent.

It is apparently by symbols that the unconscious speaks to the conscious, and the medium has to translate these into meaning.

Ulyate and Kearton climbed on toward the sound of the barking of the dogs and the sporadic roaring of the lion, till they came, out of breath, to the crest, and peering through the branches of a bush, this is what Ulyate saw: Jones who had apparently ( and actually had ) ridden up the nearly impassable hillside, sitting calmly on his horse within forty feet of a full-grown young lioness, who was crouched on a flat rock and seemed just about to charge him, while the dogs whirled around her.

Still, it is clear from such reports, and apparently clear from the remarks of many people, that Protestants are decreasing and Catholics increasing.

Rather it is rooted in a difference of response to the threat of social disintegration.

Although we continue to pay our conversational devotions to `` free private enterprise '', `` individual initiative '', `` the democratic way '', `` government of the people '', `` competition of the marketplace '', etc., we live rather comfortably in a society in which economic competition is diminishing in large areas, bureaucracy is corroding representative government, technology is weakening the citizen's confidence in his own power to make decisions, and the threat of war is driving him economically and physically into the ground ''.

but his principal theme is that the intrigues of the Tories, `` our Popish or Jacobite Party '', pose an immediate threat to Church and State.

So, while we properly inveigh against the new poisoning, history is not likely to justify the pose of righteousness which some in the West were so quick to assume when Mr. Khrushchev made his cynical and irresponsible threat.

The substantial progress being made in ballistic missile technology is rapidly shifting the main threat from manned bombers to missiles.

According to the theory proposed, this is a consequence of the severe condition of perceived threat that persists unabated for the anxious child in an ambiguous sort of school environment.

The fact that such threat is potent in the beginning reading lessons is thought to be a vital factor in the continued pattern of failure or under-achievement these children exhibit.

Failure confirms the threat, and the intensity of anxiety is increased as the required learning becomes more difficult, so that by the time the child reaches the third grade the decrement in performance is pronounced.

The combined threat of hell-fire and ugliness is too much for her, and she falls terrified at his feet.

at least until repeated intercourse has dilated it and pain is no longer a possible threat against the full pleasure of love-making.

Intermarriage, which is generally regarded as a threat to Jewish survival, was regarded not with horror or apprehension but with a kind of mild, clinical disapproval.

Their names are Mantle and Maris, their team is the Yankees, and their threat is real.

One such project is the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project that built on existing conservation efforts in Panama to create a country-wide response to the threat of chytridiomycosis.

The term Angst distinguishes itself from the word Furcht ( German for " fear ") in that Furcht is a negative anticipation regarding a concrete threat, while Angst is a ( possibly nondirectional ) emotion, though the terms are colloquially sometimes used synonymously.

As such, it is distinguished from fear, which is an appropriate cognitive and emotional response to a perceived threat.

Fear is defined as short lived, present focused, geared towards a specific threat, and facilitating escape from threat ; while anxiety is defined as long acting, future focused, broadly focused towards a diffuse threat, and promoting caution while approaching a potential threat.
