title: Charles Mellish

abstract: Charles Mellish was a British lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1774 to 1784.

text:
# Charles Mellish

**Charles Mellish** (6 July 1737 – 29 December 1796) was a British lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1774 to 1784.

## Early life

Mellish was born in 1737 in London, England. He was the only surviving son of William Mellish, MP, of Blyth, Nottinghamshire, and his first wife, Kitty da Costa. He entered Lincoln's Inn in 1761 and was called to the Bar in 1766. He inherited Blyth Hall, Nottinghamshire on the death of his father in 1791.

## Career

Mellish was Recorder of Newark, Nottinghamshire from 1770 to 1777, and again from 1779 to 1794. He was Commissioner of Stamps from 1793 to 1796.

Mellish managed the Yorkshire estates of Viscount Galway, with whom he was connected by marriage and was thereby eligible to be, and was elected as, Member of Parliament for Pontefract in the 1774 general election. In the 1780 general election Mellish was placed by the Duke of Newcastle as MP for Aldborough, Yorkshire. Initially a loyal supporter in Parliament of Newcastle and Lord North, his political career ended in 1784 when he had a disagreement with Newcastle and was asked to resign his seat. Mellish did not stand in the 1784 general election, and stood unsuccessfully for Pontefract in 1790. His will, proved in 1798, bequeaths an annuity of £100 pa from the Iter Boreale estate in Jamaica. This was a plantation producing sugar and rum which held 278 enslaved people in 1809.Legacies of British Slave Ownership

## Personal interests and family life

Mellish was interested in antiquarian study, particularly in the history of Nottinghamshire. He was working on an unfinished county history at the time of his death in late 1796.

Mellish married Judith Stapleton (died 1806) with whom he had two sons and two daughters. Eventually, Mellish disinherited his elder son, Joseph Charles, due to the latter's extravagance. The Blyth estate passed to his second son, Henry Francis, who lost it due to gambling. The neighbouring property, known as Hodsock Priory, and which Mellish had also owned, ended up in the hands of his oldest daughter, Anne, who rebuilt the house there.

title: The Discontinuity Guide

abstract: The Discontinuity Guide is a 1995 guidebook to the serials of the original run (1963–1989) of the BBC science fiction series Doctor Who. The book was written by Paul Cornell, Martin Day and Keith Topping and was first published as Doctor Who - The Discontinuity Guide on 1 July 1995 by Virgin Books.

text:
# The Discontinuity Guide

***The Discontinuity Guide*** is a 1995 guidebook to the serials of the original run (1963–1989) of the BBC science fiction series *Doctor Who*. The book was written by Paul Cornell, Martin Day and Keith Topping and was first published as *Doctor Who - The Discontinuity Guide* on 1 July 1995 by Virgin Books.

## Contents

The book focuses on the fiction of *Doctor Who*. For each serial, the authors discuss the roots of the story, technical and narrative gaffes, technobabble, dialogue disasters and triumphs, continuity, and a "bottom line" critical analysis of the story. The book also contains short essays on subjects in *Doctor Who* continuity, such as the Doctor's family, the history (or histories) of the Daleks, UNIT dating and the origins of the Time Lords.

One such essay marked the first publication of the "Season 6B" theory that, from the Second Doctor's perspective, the events of "The Five Doctors" and *The Two Doctors* took place in a period of the Doctor's life, later wiped from his memories, after the end of *The War Games* but prior to his regeneration into the Third Doctor during which, rather than immediately regenerate and begin his exile on Earth, the Doctor, reunited with companions Jamie McCrimmon and Victoria Waterfield, performed various missions for the Time Lords.

## Publication history

The book was first published in 1995 by Doctor Who Books, an imprint of Virgin Books. At the time, Virgin held the licence to publish *Doctor Who* books from the BBC, and published licensed *Doctor Who* novels and other non-fiction books under the Doctor Who Books imprint.

The guidebook was subsequently given an un-licensed re-print as simply *The Discontinuity Guide* in November 2004 through MonkeyBrain Books, with a new foreword by Lou Anders. In 2013, it was published as an ebook — as *The Doctor Who Discontinuity Guide* — by Orion Publishing Group under its Gateway imprint.

Additionally, the BBC's *Doctor Who* website incorporated the book's text, along with that of *Doctor Who: The Television Companion* by David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker, into its classic series episode guide.

## Reception

Lars Pearson described *The Discontinuity Guide* as "a lively romp though all the show's consistencies and inconsistencies." When the book was reissued in 2004, *Sfcrowsnest* gave it a negative review, criticising the re-issue for not updating the volume to incorporate information about the 1996 film or the then-impending new series with Christopher Eccleston, and stating that overall "Serious 'Dr Who' fans will find the book a worthy addition to their bookshelves, but more casual readers will probably want to find a more user-friendly and attractive book or web-site instead". The *SF Site* gave a more mixed review, praising the book for its humour while stating that the book would probably appeal more to fans wanting to know the finer details of the serials but that more casual fans would not enjoy it as much. In the acknowledgements of *The Greatest Show in the Galaxy: The Discerning Fan's Guide to Doctor Who*, Marc Schuster and Tom Powers praised *The Discontinuity Guide* for its "playful wit".

title: Leah Goldstein

abstract: Leah Goldstein is a professional Canadian-Israeli road racing cyclist, former 1989 World Bantamweight Kickboxing Champion, and Israel's 1998 Duathlon champion. In 2021, she became the first woman to win the overall solo division of the Race Across America (RAAM).

# Leah Goldstein

**Leah Goldstein** (born February 4, 1969, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) is a professional Canadian-Israeli road racing cyclist, former 1989 World Bantamweight Kickboxing Champion, and Israel's 1998 Duathlon champion. In 2021, she became the first woman to win the overall solo division of the Race Across America (RAAM).

## Early and personal life

Born in Vancouver, Canada, to Israeli parents, Goldstein was raised in Israel when her family made *aliyah*. At the age of 17 she won the Bantamweight World Kickboxing Championship. She spent 9 years in the Israeli commandos and secret police. She returned to Canada in the late 1990s. Goldstein lives in Vernon, British Columbia.

## Career

### Kickboxing

A natural athlete, at 17 years of age Goldstein won the 1989 World Bantamweight Kickboxing Championship.

### Duathlon

Goldstein was Israel's 1998 duathlon (run-bike-run) champion. Shortly before the 2004 Olympics, she broke her hand in a race in Pennsylvania. And then in 2005, after winning 9 of her first 11 races she was involved in a horrific crash during the Cascade Classic that almost ended her career. She was hospitalized for two and a half months and told she would never walk without a cane.

### Cycling

In 2008 Goldstein won the Israeli national women's road cycling championships in both time trials and road racing. In 2009 she repeated as national champion in both events.

In 2011, Goldstein won the women's solo category of Race Across America (RAAM). In 2019, she came in second in the women's division and fifth overall in RAAM. In June 2021, she won the overall solo division for this 3,000 mile race in 11 days, three hours. and three minutes.

## Book

Goldstein wrote a book about her life entitled *No Limits; The Powerful True Story of Leah Goldstein-World Champion Kickboxer, Ultra Endurance Cyclist, Israeli Undercover Police Officer* (2016).

## Speaker

In February 2024, Goldstein became the topic of controversy when she was removed from her spot as keynote speaker at an Ottawa International Women’s Day event, after she had accepted an invitation, as a result of her time in the IDF. She said: "I am zero political when I speak. Honestly, there is nothing political about my presentation. I just talk about the crap that I went through and the crap that most women go through, and they still do, and how I handled it." Goldstein noted: "As a Jewish woman, I would never be offended if a Palestinian woman were to speak about her obstacles and life journey. I thought that’s what women were supposed to do for each other – listen and support!” Deborah Lyons, Canada’s former ambassador to Israel and the Liberal-appointed special envoy on Holocaust remembrance and combating antisemitism, called it “just another example of the erasure and silencing of Jews going on across Canada and around the world."

# Sino-International Library

The **Sino-International Library** (original name in French: *Bibliothèque Sino-Internationale*, or *BSI*; simplified Chinese: 中国国际图书馆; traditional Chinese: 中國國際圖書館) was a Chinese library and cultural agency active from 1932 to 1950 in Geneva, Switzerland, and from 1951 to 1993 in Montevideo, Uruguay.

The BSI aimed at bettering the knowledge of Chinese life and culture around the world. Its holdings included up to 200'000 volumes, as well as special materials such as paintings, calligraphies, photographs, children's drawings and artefacts such as costumes and musical instruments. The BSI organized many events, in Geneva, in other European cities, and later in Montevideo: art exhibitions, conferences, courses and film screenings. It published two periodicals: *Orient et Occident* (1934-1936) and *La Chine Illustrée* (China Illustrated, China Illustriert, 中國畫報 1935-1937) as well as various monographs.

In 1950, at the Foundation of the People's Republic of China, the BSI was integrally transported to Montevideo, and deposited at the Biblioteca Nacional de Uruguay. In 1993, the core of the Library, including all ancient Chinese books, was transported to Taipei and integrated into the collections of the National Central Library.

## Organization

Formally a private association, the BSI was funded by individuals forming a Committee of founding members (French: *Comité des Membres Fondateurs*) whose seat was in Geneva, and whose statutes were established under Swiss law. The institution was recognized and subsidized by the Nanjing Government, by decision of the Executive Yuan.

The BSI Committee intersected widely with the Chinese National Commission of the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation (Chinese: 國際文化合作中國聯盟) of the League of Nations. The Committee leading members were Li Shizeng, Zhang Renjie, Wu Zhihui and Cai Yuanpei, the cofounders in Paris in 1906-07 of the *Che Kiai Cheu* (World Society, Chinese: 世界社; pinyin: *Shijie she*).

Among members of the Committee were many significant personalities of Republican China, such as : Chiang Kai-Shek, Wang Jingwei, Hu Hanmin, Sun Fo, T.V. Soong, etc. Western members were Joseph Avenol, Édouard Herriot, Ludwig Rajchman and Eduard Von der Heydt.

The successive Directors of the BSI were Hu Tianshi and Xiao Zicheng.

## Places

In Geneva, the BSI had three consecutive addresses: initially located in the city center, at 5, route de Florissant, it moved in September 1934 to the Château de Montalègre in the neighboring municipality of Cologny. In October 1937, it was moved again to the Pavillon du désarmement of the Palais Wilson.

A Shanghai branch (French:*Section de Shanghai*) of the BSI was situated at Route Fergusson 393 - now Wukanglu (Chinese: 武康路) 393, a property of the Che Kiai Cheu (World Society). Other branches were planned in Nice, Lyon, and New York, but seem to have never been fully implemented.

## Holdings

The holdings of the BSI were huge. According to a 1939 description it counted 125'000 Chinese books and manuscripts and 30'000 European books. Later inventories amount to 200'000 volumes.

Among the rarities were precious Chinese books from the Ming Dynasty, as well as an original of the 1725 Encyclopedia *Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China (*Chinese: 古今圖書集成 ) in 6'000 volumes. The special materials included ancient and modern Chinese paintings and calligraphies, a large set of children's drawings, up to 4000 photographs and many artefacts such as musical instruments.

## Events and visitors

Many events were organized by the BSI, such as a 1934 Exhibition of Chinese Art featuring 1000 items at the Geneva Kursaal, a 1935 exhibitions of children's drawings both in Geneva and at the Pestalozzianum in Zürich, the screening of films such as the 1931 Love and Duty \- whose last existing copy was to be later found in the BSI holdings in Montevideo. Conferences were regularly given, e.g. on Chinese music by Xiao Shuxian or on Chinese feminism by Marcela de Juan. Many prominent people visited the BSI, such as the philosopher and diplomat Hu Shih, the opera performer Mei Lanfang, the actress Hu Die or the author Gao Changhong.

## The BSI in Montevideo

At the Proclamation of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Switzerland promptly recognized the new regime (January 17, 1950). According to his own narrative, Li Shizeng considered that the BSI was at risk to be seized by the PRC. Contacts were taken with the Uruguayan authorities through the meddling of Hugo Fernández Artucio, who contributed with Li Shizeng for the Free World magazine in New-York. The entire library, 350 boxes, were transported by train to Genoa and then by boat to Montevideo.

Archive documents left in Montevideo testify that the Library was in precarious financial situation. Its transportation from Geneva and its installation in Uruguay was financed by the Uruguayan Government. At first, the Library was left in boxes, it was then given an important space, inaugurated on April 3, 1967, in the new building (1965) of the Biblioteca Nacional de Uruguay.

In Montevideo, the BSI continued its action for cultural dissemination, organizing events such as a 1969 exhibition *3000 anos de arte Chino*.

## Fate

In March 1993, a letter on behalf of the Che Kiai Cheu asked for the return of the BSI holdings. After negotiation, the core of the library, including all ancient Chinese books, was transported to Taiwan. The collections are now integrated into the National Central Library in Taipei. A few items, including some archive documents about the BSI, remain at the Special materials room of the Biblioteca Nacional de Uruguay.

# Robert Kinkel

**Robert Kinkel** is an American professional session keyboardist and music engineer most known for his role as a co-creator/co-producer/co-composer and touring keyboardist with Trans-Siberian Orchestra along with extensive studio work with the progressive metal band Savatage. He attended Hamilton College and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in music with a minor in physics.

## Life and career

Kinkel was born in Buffalo, New York. Receiving his early musical training singing in a choir in his hometown of Williamsville, New York, he continued his education singing in choirs and playing in Williamsville school bands until he attended Hamilton College where he attained his degree in music, studying composition, piano and organ.

His first professional music job came at the Record Plant Studios in New York City, where he assisted on productions for bands such as The Who, Badlands and uncredited work with Aerosmith. Soon afterwards, he began his career as a keyboardist and composed the music for many TV advertising campaigns, including being the producer and voice behind the 1980s "*Hefty, Hefty, Hefty – Wimpy, Wimpy, Wimpy*" commercial for Hefty trash bags.

He teamed up with producer Paul O'Neill and vocalist-pianist Jon Oliva on *Hall of the Mountain King*, a 1987 album from Savatage. Kinkel joined Savatage for the follow-up releases *Gutter Ballet* (1989) and *Streets: A Rock Opera* (1991), to return again with both keyboard and engineering work on *Dead Winter Dead* (1995), *The Wake of Magellan* (1998) and *Poets and Madmen* (2001). He provided all the keyboard orchestral arrangements while founder Jon Oliva played the standard keyboard parts, but he never performed live with the band. He also an engineer on *Handful of Rain*, which featured Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick, and the live album *Ghost in the Ruins – A Tribute to Criss Oliva*.

With the success of the Savatage holiday song "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)" from the 1996 album *Dead Winter Dead*, Kinkel helped co-create and co-produce Trans-Siberian Orchestra, with O'Neill and Oliva, to reissue the track the next year on the album *Christmas Eve and Other Stories*. Trans-Siberian Orchestra was the Savatage line-up under a new radio-friendly name with Kinkel given a more active role including co-composer. Savatage produced two more albums before being retired while Trans-Siberian Orchestra became one of the top grossing holiday rock tours. The band would eventually split into two tour groups named 'East' and 'West'. Kinkel was the featured keyboardist and musical director of the East tour. In discussing the unexpected development of the rock opera formatted, Trans-Siberian Orchestra guitarist Al Pitrelli said in a 2007 interview: “Rock opera is not that popular right now. But about a dozen years or so ago, Paul O'Neill, Bob Kinkel, Jon Oliva and myself just sat down and said, 'We want to make a record that's representative of all four of our musical backgrounds.' It's not like we were trying to write a record that was current, or get on the charts, or keep up with kids 20, 30 years younger than us.”

In 2011, Kinkel began writing, recording, and performing with New York-based vocalist Dina Fanai, who had previously worked as a vocal coach with Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Kinkel was inducted into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame in October 2007. The next year, Kinkel commented to Rocknotes Webzine: "It’s just a great honor, to have someone nominate you and then go through the whole thing. That was just a huge honor and it made me feel really good. I was very proud to accept it."

# Lebanon bologna

**Lebanon bologna** is a type of cured, smoked, and fermented semidry beef sausage; it is not, in spite of its name, a pork-based bologna. Similar in appearance and texture to salami, it is somewhat darker in color, and is typically served as a cold cut or appetizer.

Lebanon bologna has a distinct, tangy flavor, more so than other generally similar fermented meat products such as summer sausage. Hardwood smoking imparts a strong smokiness to the traditionally prepared versions of the product; increasingly, liquid smoke is used as a substitute  for this costly time- and labor-intensive process.

## Origin

Lebanon bologna was developed by the Pennsylvania Dutch of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, prior to the 1780s and was a common item by the early 1800s, reflecting the slow-cured and smoked sausage traditions of Western Europe. Still produced primarily in that area, it is found in markets throughout the United States and typically served as a cold cut and as an appetizer. In addition to the original, a sweet version is made.

## Manufacture

Typically, curing salts are added to the ground and spiced beef to control microbial growth during processing. The blended and stuffed sausage is then aged for 10 days prior to smoking to enrich lactic acid bacteria and allow for the reduction of nitrate to nitrite. Fermentation occurs during a slow cold smoke (kept at a temperature below 120 °F (49 °C)) that can last for up to four days. A one pH unit (or more) decline is observed during this step, as well as the development of nitrosohemochrome, the pigment responsible for the red color of cured meats.

title: Charles Hotchkiss Norton

abstract: Charles Hotchkiss Norton was an American mechanical engineer and designer of machine tools. After working for the Seth Thomas Clock company in Thomaston, in 1886 Norton became Assistant Engineer with the Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Company at Providence, Rhode Island, redesigning their universal grinding machine. In 1890 he became a partner in the newly established Leland, Faulconer & Norton Company at Detroit, Michigan, designing and constructing machine tools. Returning to Brown & Sharpe in 1896, he designed a grinding machine with larger and heavier grinding wheels, capable of supplying machine parts for the emerging automobile industry. In 1900 he left Brown & Sharpe to found the Norton Grinding Company in Worcester, Massachusetts with support from the Norton Emery Wheel Company; the two firms merged in 1919, with Norton as their Chief Engineer until 1934, when he became their Consulting Engineer. On April 8, 1925, he was a recipient of The John Scott Medal and Premium for his invention of "accurate grinding devices of high power". Charles H. Norton House, the house in Plainville in which Norton lived until his death in 1942, is today a National Historic Landmark.

# John of Gaza

**John of Gaza** (fl.early 6th century) was a Christian grammarian and poet who wrote in Greek. John was part of the rhetorical school of Gaza.

## Life

John was a native of Gaza. In a marginal note in the *Palatine Anthology*, he is said to be a *grammatikos*, a teacher of grammar and poetry. His dates are not known precisely. He wrote after the middle of the 5th century, since he was heavily influenced by Nonnus's *Dionysiaca*. Different identifications of the subject of his *ekphrasis* yield different dates for his activity. If the baths were those at Antioch mentioned by Procopius of Gaza, he was seemingly writing before the Antioch earthquake of 526. If, on the other hand, they were the baths in Gaza mentioned by Choricius of Gaza, he must have been writing after 535–536. It is possible that he wrote as late as the 7th century.

## Works

Seven poems by John have survived: an *ekphrasis* and six Anacreontic verses. The *ekphrasis*, *Tabula Mundi* (Table of the World), contains 703 hexameters and an iambic prologue in epic language in the style of Nonnus of Panopolis. It survives only in the Paris fragment of the single manuscript of the *Palatine Anthology*, in which it is given the title *Description of a Picture of the World Situated in the Winter Baths*. This is not the original title of the work, which is better known as the *Tabula Mundi*, a purely conventional title.

The *Tabula* describes a cosmological mural in the winter baths at either Gaza or Antioch. The mural contained a Christian cross and 60 allegorical figures, including pagan deities. It has recently been suggested that the *Tabula* is a cosmological reflection in the form of an *ekphrasis* and does not in fact describe an actual mural. The poem is notable for John's treatment of personifications, as in this description of Gaia giving birth to the Karpoi:

> But Gaia, showing her fertile nature, which makes the grain to grow, caused to shoot up from her womb her fruitful offspring; and leaning her back and spine on the ground, she raised her body on her couch with both hands, stretching her life-giving womb; she brought forth from her travail the twin Karpoi, a sweet offspring, having one male nurse, a long-winged angel, who, holding with his hands the knees of Gaia as she gave birth, and supporting from each side her opened thighs, spread them, and, with the midwife's craft, assisted her in the birth with the skill of his art, destroying the grievous pangs of hunger with countless stings.

John's poems in Anacreontic metre were written for competitions and special occasions. One on roses was written for the Rosalia, a major festival in Gaza. He also wrote on mythology and terms of address, and even composed Anacreontic *epithalamia* (bride songs) for local notables. Both his *ekphrasis* and Anacreontics were written for public performance. John was one of the last Greek poets to write in Anacreontic metre.

### 2012

#### Candidates

The list of candidates was officially finalised on 14 May. There were twenty-one candidates:

The Socialist Party chose Nicole Castioni, a resident of Geneva, as its candidate. She was a magistrate in the Criminal Court of Geneva, and, having dual French and Swiss citizenship, was an elected representative in the Parliament of Geneva from 1993 to 2001. Her deputy (*suppléant*) was Louis Lepioufle, also a resident of Geneva.

The Union for a Popular Movement chose Claudine Schmid. Sébastien Brack was her deputy (*suppléant*).

Europe Écologie–The Greens chose Ximena Kaiser Morris, with Jean Rossiaud as her deputy (*suppléant*). A resident of Lausanne, Kaiser Morris was also a member of the Green Party of Switzerland.

The Left Front (which unites several parties, most notably the French Communist Party and the Left Party) chose Magali Orsini, a long-term resident of Geneva and active participant in that city's left-wing politics. She was a Chartered Accountant, former lecturer in tax law and former assessor. Pierre Gauthier was her deputy (*suppléant*).

The National Front chose Christiane Floquet. Serge Mohler was her deputy (*suppléant*).

The centre-right Radical Party and the centrist Republican, Ecologist and Social Alliance jointly chose Marie-Françoise d'Anglemont as their candidate, with Marcel Paquier as her deputy (*suppléant*). She had dual French and Swiss citizenship, and had a political career in the Swiss Canton of Geneva.

The Radical Party of the Left chose Laila Barki, who worked in pharmaceuticals in Geneva. Philippe Berger was her deputy (*suppléant*).

The Pirate Party chose Romain Devouassoux, with Xavier Gillard as his deputy.

Solidarity and Progress, the French branch of the LaRouche movement, was represented by Odile Mojon, with Christophe Laverne as her deputy. Mojon, who worked as a documentarist translator, had dual French and Swiss citizenship.

Joseph Kuzsli was the candidate of the European Social-Democratic Party, with Pierre Baccale-Ramonatxco as his deputy.

Micheline Spoerri, former Minister for Police and Security in the government of the canton of Geneva, stood as the candidate of the "Independent Right". Jean-Patrick Bourcart is her deputy.

Pierre-Jean Duvivier, a resident of Switzerland, was an independent candidate, wishing to "strictly defend the private sector against the multiple attempts to constrain it". Tatiana Zhyvylo was his deputy.

Didier Salavert described himself as an "independent liberal" candidate, in the French meaning of the word (i.e. classical liberalism). Pierre Chappaz was his deputy. He was endorsed by the Liberal Democratic Party.

The other independent candidates were: Bernard Garcia (with Gloria Giol as deputy); Guy Broustine (with Isabelle Lovera as deputy); Sébastien Jacques (with Annat Jacques as deputy); Nicolas Miguet (with Guillaume Barthelemey as deputy); Serge Cyril Vinet (with Sylvie Boutard as deputy); Christian Robert (with Tatiana Robert as deputy); Didier Tailliez (with Jean-Michel Barreyre as deputy); and Gérard Andrieux (with Geneviève Berthin-Hugault as deputy).

#### Results

As in the other expatriate constituencies, turnout in the first round was low. It was one of only three expatriate constituencies in which the main candidate of the right finished first.

Independent candidate Sébastien Jacques received a single vote (out of 23,390 votes cast). He had stood as representative of the International Capitalist Party, his main platform being the adoption by France of the Swiss fiscal model, and a rejection of the French government's "nauseating and unhealthy" efforts against tax evasion by expatriates.

title: Biela (crater)

abstract: Biela is a lunar impact crater that is located in the rugged highlands of the southeastern Moon. It is named after Austrian astronomer Wilhelm von Biela. The crater lies to the east of Rosenberger, to the southeast of the Watt–Steinheil double crater. The rim of this crater is overlaid by a pair of small but notable craters: Biela C across the northeast rim and Biela W along the western inner wall. The satellite crater Biela B is attached to the southwestern outer rim, and ejecta from Biela covers the northwestern part of the interior. Despite a certain degree of wear, the rim of Biela remains relatively well-defined, especially in the southeast. The interior floor is flat and not marked by any craterlets of note. There is a central peak formation of three ridges located just to the northeast of the midpoint.

**Biela** is a lunar impact crater that is located in the rugged highlands of the southeastern Moon. It is named after Austrian astronomer Wilhelm von Biela. The crater lies to the east of Rosenberger, to the southeast of the WattSteinheil double crater.

The rim of this crater is overlaid by a pair of small but notable craters: Biela C across the northeast rim and Biela W along the western inner wall. The satellite crater Biela B is attached to the southwestern outer rim, and ejecta from Biela covers the northwestern part of the interior. Despite a certain degree of wear, the rim of Biela remains relatively well-defined, especially in the southeast.

The interior floor is flat and not marked by any craterlets of note. There is a central peak formation of three ridges located just to the northeast of the midpoint.

## Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Biela.

title: Charles Judson Herrick

abstract: Charles Judson Herrick was an American neurobiologist who made comparative studies across vertebrate neural systems. Along with his brother Clarence Luther, he was a founding editor of the Journal of Comparative Neurology. He published several popular books including the Neurological Foundations of Animal Behavior (1924), The Brain of Rats and Men (1926), and The Thinking Machine (1928). Herrick came from an English family that came to Massachusetts in 1628. Charles was born to Nathan, a Baptist pastor, and Anna Strickler in Minneapolis. Along with his brother Clarence he spent his early life collecting plants and obtained a BS in science from the University of Cincinnati in 1891. Shortly after, he married Mary Elizabeth Talbot, daughter of a retired president of Denison University. He then joined Denison University for a master's degree while his brother Clarence became a professor there but had to resign due to tuberculosis. Clarence had begun a Journal of Comparative Neurology which was managed by Charles during his brother's ill-health. In 1896 he went to Columbia University and worked for a PhD, studying the cranial nerves of bony fish and returned to Denison in 1898 to become a professor. He became a specialist on the amphibian brain and published The Brain of the Tiger Salamander in 1948. In 1956 he published Evolution of Human Nature which covered the outline of his research interests. Herrick has been characterized as a progressive psychobiologist who saw the evolution of the brain in terms of dealing with environmental challenges with an underlying belief that progress was natural and that biological studies provided support for social change in a direction that led to utopia, peace and prosperity. His students believed that structure and function needed to be studied together as indeed mind and body. It has been suggested that it may have been derived from a Baptist faith. Writing in 1954, Herrick wrote that "The test of the truth of a scientific law or principle is its predictive value, and the prediction is an act of faith. There is always a factor of faith in every scientific generalization and indeed in every fact- faith in the order of nature, faith in the reliability of the observations, and faith in the trustworthiness of the record." He died at his home in Grand Rapids and is buried beside his wife in the campus of Denison University.

title: John of Gloucester

abstract: John of Gloucester was an illegitimate son of King Richard III of England. John is so called because his father was Duke of Gloucester at the time of his birth. His father appointed him Captain of Calais, a position he lost after his father's death. He seems to have been held in custody at some point during the reign of Henry VII and may have been executed around 1499.

# John of Gloucester

**John of Gloucester** (or **John of Pontefract**) (c. 1468 – c. 1499 (based on historical hypothesis)) was an illegitimate son of King Richard III of England. John is so called because his father was Duke of Gloucester at the time of his birth. His father appointed him Captain of Calais, a position he lost after his father's death. He seems to have been held in custody at some point during the reign of Henry VII and may have been executed around 1499.

## Early life

The identity of John's mother is not known, nor is his date of birth. However, since Katherine, Richard III's other illegitimate child, was old enough to be wedded in 1484 and John was old enough to be knighted in September 1483 in York Minster (when his half brother Edward, Richard's only legitimate heir, was invested Prince of Wales) and to be made Captain of Calais in March 1485, most historians agree these 2 children were fathered during Richard's teen years.

Dr Ashdown-Hill suggests that John was conceived during Richard's first solo expedition to the eastern counties in the summer of 1467 at the invitation of John Howard and that the boy was born in 1468 and named after his friend and supporter. Richard himself noted John was still a minor (not being yet 21) when he issued the royal patent appointing him Captain of Calais on 11 March 1485, possibly on his seventeenth birthday.

An order referring to his appointment as Captain of Calais calls him "John de Pountfreit Bastard." Because of this, it has been suggested that he was born at Pontefract. Michael Hicks has suggested that John's mother was Alice Burgh, who was granted an annuity of 20 pounds when Richard was at Pontefract on 1 March 1474; the grant states that it was made for "certain special causes and considerations." Another candidate is Katherine Haute, who Rosemary Horrox has suggested was a mistress of Richard and possibly the mother of Richard's illegitimate daughter Katherine, who married William Herbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke. Horrox notes that Richard granted Katherine Haute an annuity of five pounds in 1477. It is unknown, however, whether Katherine and John had the same mother. They were both half-siblings of Edward of Middleham, Prince of Wales.

## Career

John was one of two persons knighted on 8 September 1483 in York during the celebrations which invested his half-brother Edward of Middleham as Prince of Wales.

John is known to have been in Calais by November 1484 and was officially appointed Captain of Calais by his father on 11 March 1485. His letter of appointment has Richard referring to him as "our dear bastard son". The patent appointing John gave him all of the necessary powers of his position, except of appointing officers, which it reserved until he turned twenty-one; it does not indicate how close to turning twenty-one he was. A warrant dated 9 March 1485 to deliver clothing to "the Lord Bastard" probably refers to John.

## Under Henry VII

After Richard was killed in the Battle of Bosworth Field (22 August 1485), Henry VII removed John from the position of Captain of Calais, but did not further persecute him and, on 1 March 1486, granted him an annual income of 20 pounds sterling.

In his confession, Perkin Warbeck stated that when he began his impersonation of Richard, Duke of York, in 1491, "King Richard's bastard son was in the hands of the king of England." In the seventeenth century, an early defender of Richard III, George Buck, claimed that around the time of the executions of Warbeck and Edward, Earl of Warwick, in 1499, "there was a base son of King Richard III made away, and secretly, having been kept long before in prison." Buck, who does not identify John by name, claims that he was executed to prevent him from falling into the hands of certain Irishmen who wished to make him their chief or prince. There are no other sources for John's execution.

# Charles de Trafford

**Charles Edmund de Trafford** (21 May 1864 – 11 November 1951) was an English aristocrat and a first-class cricketer.

## Early life

Charles de Trafford was born at Trafford Hall, Trafford Park, Stretford, the second son of Sir Humphrey de Trafford, 2nd Baronet and his wife Lady Annette Talbot. His father owned Old Trafford Cricket Ground. Charles was educated at Beaumont College.

## Cricket

In 1884, at age 20, de Trafford joined the Lancashire County Cricket Club. He soon became known as a skilled cricketer and in 1885 joined Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). In 1894 he moved to Leicestershire County Cricket Club as captain, a position in which he remained for 13 seasons. He is largely credited with making Leicestershire into a first-class club.

A man of great physical strength, de Trafford was an opening batsman and a big hitter who liked to attack from the first ball. He never wore batting gloves. For Leicestershire against the Australians in 1905, he made all the first 56 runs of the innings himself, and was out for 63 after a first-wicket partnership of 69, when his partner was 2 not out.

He captained MCC on the tour of New Zealand in 1906-07 after the original captain, Teddy Wynyard, returned home injured after the second match.

He made his highest first-class score in 1913 for Leicestershire against Derbyshire when he was 49 years old. After Leicestershire had been 11 for four on the first morning, he hit 137 in 120 minutes, and Leicestershire made 351 off 71 overs and went on to win by an innings on the second day.

## Personal life

In 1881, his father, Sir Humphrey de Trafford purchased the Hothorpe Hall Estate in Northamptonshire (though near Theddingworth, Leicestershire), from the Cook family and presented it to Charles. During his time at Hothorpe, Charles de Trafford extended the Georgian Manor House and in 1892 built a Catholic Chapel there in memory of his brother Gilbert who had died in 1890.

On 15 October 1892, he married Lady Agnes Feilding, the daughter of Rudolph Feilding, 8th Earl of Denbigh. Their son Edmund Hubert de Trafford served with distinction in World War I, married the Hon. Cecilia Strickland and later emigrated to Malta. Edmund and Cecilia's daughter Elizabeth returned to England and married Admiral Arthur Francis Turner.

In 1893, de Trafford served as High Sheriff of Leicestershire and also as a Justice of the Peace. Lady Agnes died in 1921, and Charles continue to live at Hothorpe until 1928, when he moved to Sibbertoft. He died at Rothley on 11 November 1951, aged 87.

# The Thought Exchange (film)

***The Thought Exchange*** is a 2012 New Thought Documentary Film based on a book by the same name, it was the directorial debut of Usher Morgan who also produced the film. The film stars David Friedman and Lucie Arnaz among others who appeared on the film and testified to the concepts taught by Friedman throughout the film, this was the first film ever released by Digital Magic Entertainment.

## Plot and development

*The Thought Exchange* serves as a condensed introduction to the methods taught by David Friedman in his Thought Exchange book. The film uncovers methods of successfully implemented the Law of Attraction by a more comprehensive understanding of reality and how sensations are used to influence "deliberate creation", or as the film refers to as "manifestation". The film claims that human sensations are the leading factor in the success or failure of visualizations when one is attempting to "manifest" a change in their life or their way of thinking. The film also discusses matters of reality, mind over matter, causality and the role of the observer in human beings as spiritual avatars.

After the release of David Friedman's book, Usher Morgan acquired the rights and developed the film with Friedman who also stars in the film. Many of the subjects who appear in the film are individuals who claim to follow the Thought Exchange principles and have used it to finally get the Law of Attraction to work in their life.

## Critical reception

The film received mostly positive reviews in the media and by New Thought bloggers, Mark Bell of *Film Threat* gave the film 3 and a half (of five) stars and wrote: "I think *The Thought Exchange* is an intriguing concept, and deserving of more attention and thoughtful scrutiny than I’m able to give it based solely on a film review." Critic MichiGal wrote: "It is a thought-provoking learning experience, and I look forward to watching it again". Critics with Movie Sleuth wrote: "While the movie is much in the same realm as The Secret, the film is much lighter and doesn't feel like it's twisting your arm." Nick DeNitto, a film critic with *Festival of Films* gave the film a negative review: "There are many people who can watch The Thought Exchange and walk away with a new view of the world and a refreshing new start on life, but I wasn’t one of those people. Friedman’s theories aren’t ludicrous, but they lack a sense of universality that makes them useful."
