It's one word that has two meanings, one for each part of the sentence.
Some thoughts on 18:
Okay, well obviously the word 'mill' fits with four of the five (rumour mill, sawmill, pepper mill, windmill) but there's no connection with 'blessing'. I was thinking along the lines of 'one in a mill-ion' or informal ('in-four-mill') but can't find anything to go along with those...
Mary Wollstonecraft, William Godwin, Charlotte Smith, William Blake, Robert Burns, William and Dorothy Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Maria Edgeworth, Jane Austen, Lord Byron, Percy and Mary Shelley, Felicia Hemans, John Keats, John Clare, and others.
Also Duran Duran.
Also Duran Duran.
Hmm. Could be a somewhat British thing this time, thinking about it. And I can't really hint at it without giving it away (except to say that it is on the results of the search if you go for richmond first. Perhaps (if you're ready to be spoiled) you should search for

mills in the books section of amazon.co.uk
1.19, I have:
Edit:
P?OYTINMETRIC I'm pretty sure of IN METRIC...so its something in or converted to the metric system, maybe?
Edit:
PUTITINMETRIC. The picture is actually a slight clue (Putt). The first T is a Tea Tree. And the First I is an "aye." However, I still can't get the word. I tried "convert" but that isn't good enough....

Aye is a slang term for "yes" and I'm pretty sure its still used in a wide variety of places. Hell, even I use it, and I'm not European in any sense. And its a Tea as in "Is it a tea?" I supposed because they already mentioned that it was a tree and that they were in an arboretum, it was pretty obvious they were referencing the kind of tree, thus it wasn't necessary to repeat TREE, only to ask what type it is. Its as awkward as answering "What flavor ice cream do you want?" with "Vanilla flavor." Most people just say "vanilla."
That said, I'm still not getting the answer....whether its a numerical value or a word/phrase for converting something to the metric system. If its the former, there's only one numerical value in the puzzle and that's 20 minutes, but time values have not been formally changed in the metric system. They remain largely the same as they are in standard/imperial.

Ooops, you're right. I screwed up somewhere. Now I see where the discrepancy is. I was looking at hisieh's letters and accidentally added an extra one instead of replacing one of his. Well, then, it looks like we might be looking for something in metric still, but perhaps its a more specific measurement?
18:
the answer to 1.18 is mills & boon or something like that. I don't get it. I don't know where iapetus got richmond from, all I understand is that seems to be a publishing company (I guess famous in britain?) that publishes romantic (thus the title) novels. Or something like that. Lame I say.
20:
the pictures seem so arbitrary in 20 by themselves. But I see patterns in their position. Each pair of pictures has a definite color theme. for instance the first two are very green. Another pattern I see is that its like two L shaped tetris block put togethor, one of a mane made tool and the other of birds. Not sure what other paths to explore at this moment though
19:
perhaps I should haven't said put the clue in metric... more like... put the relationship between the question and the clue in metric. Its not an obvious answer, I didn't expect it to actually work when I tried it. So just try putting in numbers that you think of no matter how wrong you think it will be.
more on 20:
I've also noticed that the picture is named cock.png, and you can find a cock in most pictures. cock-a-doddle-doo, peacock, cock your arm back to throw a boomerang, a tank has a gun and you can...uhh... cock a gun... and the fishing dood has the rod... cocked back?
