# Mason–Weaver equation

The **Mason–Weaver equation** (named after Max Mason and Warren Weaver) describes the sedimentation and diffusion of solutes under a uniform force, usually a gravitational field. Assuming that the gravitational field is aligned in the *z* direction (Fig. 1), the Mason–Weaver equation may be written

$$\frac {\partial c}{\partial t}=D{\frac {\partial ^{2}c}{\partial z^{2}+sg{\frac {\partial c}{\partial z}}}}$$

where *t* is the time, *c* is the solute concentration (moles per unit length in the *z*-direction), and the parameters *D*, *s*, and *g* represent the solute diffusion constant, sedimentation coefficient and the (presumed constant) acceleration of gravity, respectively.

The Mason–Weaver equation is complemented by the boundary conditions

$$D{\frac {\partial c}{\partial z}+sgc=0}$$

at the top and bottom of the cell, denoted as $z\_{a}$ and $z\_{b}$, respectively (Fig. 1). These boundary conditions correspond to the physical requirement that no solute pass through the top and bottom of the cell, i.e., that the flux there be zero. The cell is assumed to be rectangular and aligned with the Cartesian axes (Fig. 1), so that the net flux through the side walls is likewise zero. Hence, the total amount of solute in the cell

$$N\_{\text{tot}=\int \_{b}^{z\_{a}\\,dz\ c(z,t)}}$$

is conserved, i.e., $dN\_{\text{tot}/dt=0}$.

## Derivation of the Mason–Weaver equation

A typical particle of mass *m* moving with vertical velocity *v* is acted upon by three forces (Fig. 1): the drag force $fv$, the force of gravity $mg$ and the buoyant force $\rho Vg$, where *g* is the acceleration of gravity, *V* is the solute particle volume and $\rho $ is the solvent density. At equilibrium (typically reached in roughly 10 ns for molecular solutes), the particle attains a terminal velocity $v\_{\text{term}}$ where the three forces are balanced. Since *V* equals the particle mass *m* times its partial specific volume $\bar {\nu }$, the equilibrium condition may be written as

$$fv\_{\text{term}=m(1-{\bar {\nu }\rho )g\ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ m\_{b}g}}}$$

where $m\_{b}$ is the buoyant mass.

We define the Mason–Weaver sedimentation coefficient $s\ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ m\_{b}/f=v\_{\text{term}/g}}$. Since the drag coefficient *f* is related to the diffusion constant *D* by the Einstein relation

$D={\frac {k\_{B}T}{f}}$,

the ratio of *s* and *D* equals

$$\frac {s}{D}={\frac {m\_{b}{k\_{B}T}}}$$

where $k\_{B}$ is the Boltzmann constant and *T* is the temperature in kelvins.

The flux *J* at any point is given by

$$J=-D{\frac {\partial c}{\partial z}-v\_{\text{term}c=-D{\frac {\partial c}{\partial z}-sgc.}}}$$

The first term describes the flux due to diffusion down a concentration gradient, whereas the second term describes the convective flux due to the average velocity $v\_{\text{term}}$ of the particles. A positive net flux out of a small volume produces a negative change in the local concentration within that volume

$$\frac {\partial c}{\partial t}=-{\frac {\partial J}{\partial z}.}$$

Substituting the equation for the flux *J* produces the Mason–Weaver equation

$$\frac {\partial c}{\partial t}=D{\frac {\partial ^{2}c}{\partial z^{2}+sg{\frac {\partial c}{\partial z}.}}}$$

## The dimensionless Mason–Weaver equation

The parameters *D*, *s* and *g* determine a length scale $z\_{0}$

$$z\_{0}\ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ {\frac {D}{sg}}}$$

and a time scale $t\_{0}$

$$t\_{0}\ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ {\frac {D}{s^{2}g^{2}}}}$$

Defining the dimensionless variables $\zeta \ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ z/z\_{0}}$ and $\tau \ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ t/t\_{0}}$, the Mason–Weaver equation becomes

$$\frac {\partial c}{\partial \tau }={\frac {\partial ^{2}c}{\partial \zeta ^{2}+{\frac {\partial c}{\partial \zeta }}}}$$

subject to the boundary conditions

$$\frac {\partial c}{\partial \zeta }+c=0$$

at the top and bottom of the cell, $\zeta \_{a}$ and $\zeta \_{b}$, respectively.

## Solution of the Mason–Weaver equation

This partial differential equation may be solved by separation of variables. Defining $c(\zeta ,\tau )\ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ e^{-\zeta /2}T(\tau )P(\zeta )}$, we obtain two ordinary differential equations coupled by a constant $\beta $

$$\frac {dT}{d\tau }+\beta T=0$$

$$\frac {d^{2}P}{d\zeta ^{2}+\left\[\beta -{\frac {1}{4}\right\]P=0}}$$

where acceptable values of $\beta $ are defined by the boundary conditions

$$\frac {dP}{d\zeta }+{\frac {1}{2}P=0}$$

at the upper and lower boundaries, $\zeta \_{a}$ and $\zeta \_{b}$, respectively. Since the *T* equation has the solution $T(\tau )=T\_{0}e^{-\beta \tau }$, where $T\_{0}$ is a constant, the Mason–Weaver equation is reduced to solving for the function $P(\zeta )$.

The ordinary differential equation for *P* and its boundary conditions satisfy the criteria for a Sturm–Liouville problem, from which several conclusions follow. **First**, there is a discrete set of orthonormal eigenfunctions $P\_{k}(\zeta )$ that satisfy the ordinary differential equation and boundary conditions. **Second**, the corresponding eigenvalues $\beta \_{k}$ are real, bounded below by a lowest eigenvalue $\beta \_{0}$ and grow asymptotically like $k^{2}$ where the nonnegative integer *k* is the rank of the eigenvalue. (In our case, the lowest eigenvalue is zero, corresponding to the equilibrium solution.) **Third**, the eigenfunctions form a complete set; any solution for $c(\zeta ,\tau )$ can be expressed as a weighted sum of the eigenfunctions

$$c(\zeta ,\tau )=\sum \_{k=0}^{\infty }c\_{k}P\_{k}(\zeta )e^{-\beta \_{k}\tau }$$

where $c\_{k}$ are constant coefficients determined from the initial distribution $c(\zeta ,\tau =0)$

$$c\_{k}=\int \_{a}^{\zeta \_{b}d\zeta \ c(\zeta ,\tau =0)e^{\zeta /2}P\_{k}(\zeta )}$$

At equilibrium, $\beta =0$ (by definition) and the equilibrium concentration distribution is

$$e^{-\zeta /2}P\_{0}(\zeta )=Be^{-\zeta }=Be^{-m\_{b}gz/k\_{B}T}$$

which agrees with the Boltzmann distribution. The $P\_{0}(\zeta )$ function satisfies the ordinary differential equation and boundary conditions at all values of $\zeta $ (as may be verified by substitution), and the constant *B* may be determined from the total amount of solute

$$B=N\_{\text{tot}\left({\frac {sg}{D}\right)\left({\frac {1}{e^{-\zeta \_{b}-e^{-\zeta \_{a}\right)}}}}}}$$

To find the non-equilibrium values of the eigenvalues $\beta \_{k}$, we proceed as follows. The P equation has the form of a simple harmonic oscillator with solutions $P(\zeta )=e^{i\omega \_{k}\zeta }$ where

$$\omega \_{k}=\pm {\sqrt {\beta \_{k}-{\frac {1}{4}}}}$$

Depending on the value of $\beta \_{k}$, $\omega \_{k}$ is either purely real ( $\beta \_{k}\geq {\frac {1}{4}}$) or purely imaginary ( $\beta \_{k}\<{\frac {1}{4}}$). Only one purely imaginary solution can satisfy the boundary conditions, namely, the equilibrium solution. Hence, the non-equilibrium eigenfunctions can be written as

$$P(\zeta )=A\cos {\omega \_{k}\zeta }+B\sin {\omega \_{k}\zeta }$$

where *A* and *B* are constants and $\omega $ is real and strictly positive.

By introducing the oscillator amplitude $\rho $ and phase $\varphi $ as new variables,

$$u\ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ \rho \sin(\varphi )\ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ P}}$$

$$v\ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ \rho \cos(\varphi )\ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ -{\frac {1}{\omega }\left({\frac {dP}{d\zeta }\right)}}}}$$

$$\rho \ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ u^{2}+v^{2}}$$

$$\tan(\varphi )\ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ v/u}$$

the second-order equation for *P* is factored into two simple first-order equations

$$\frac {d\rho }{d\zeta }=0$$

$$\frac {d\varphi }{d\zeta }=\omega $$

Remarkably, the transformed boundary conditions are independent of $\rho $ and the endpoints $\zeta \_{a}$ and $\zeta \_{b}$

$$\tan(\varphi \_{a})=\tan(\varphi \_{b})={\frac {1}{2\omega \_{k}}}$$

Therefore, we obtain an equation

$$\varphi \_{a}-\varphi \_{b}+k\pi =k\pi =\int \_{b}^{\zeta \_{a}d\zeta \ {\frac {d\varphi }{d\zeta }=\omega \_{k}(\zeta \_{a}-\zeta \_{b})}}$$

giving an exact solution for the frequencies $\omega \_{k}$

$$\omega \_{k}={\frac {k\pi }{\zeta \_{a}-\zeta \_{b}}}$$

The eigenfrequencies $\omega \_{k}$ are positive as required, since $\zeta \_{a}\>\zeta \_{b}$, and comprise the set of harmonics of the fundamental frequency $\omega \_{1}\ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}\ \pi /(\zeta \_{a}-\zeta \_{b})}$. Finally, the eigenvalues $\beta \_{k}$ can be derived from $\omega \_{k}$

$$\beta \_{k}=\omega \_{k}^{2}+{\frac {1}{4}}$$

Taken together, the non-equilibrium components of the solution correspond to a Fourier series decomposition of the initial concentration distribution $c(\zeta ,\tau =0)$ multiplied by the weighting function $e^{\zeta /2}$. Each Fourier component decays independently as $e^{-\beta \_{k}\tau }$, where $\beta \_{k}$ is given above in terms of the Fourier series frequencies $\omega \_{k}$.

# Ursula Bethell, Baroness Westbury

**Ursula Mary Rose Bethell, Baroness Westbury** CBE, JP (*née* **James**; 6 May 1924 – 25 November 2023) was a British peeress who served as superintendent-in-chief of St John Ambulance.

## Early life and family

Lady Westbury was born Ursula Mary Rose James on 6 May 1924 at 21 Park Lane in Mayfair, the home of her maternal grandfather. She was daughter of the Hon. Robert "Bobbie" James (1873–1960), third son of Walter, 2nd Baron Northbourne, and Lady Serena Lumley (1901–2000), only daughter of Aldred, 10th Earl of Scarbrough. Portraits of Ursula and her younger sister Fay (1929–2002) by Bassano are in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.

Growing up in aristocratic circles in Central London, she befriended Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret of York who lived at nearby 145 Piccadilly. Ursula and Princess Elizabeth dined together at The Dorchester before her younger sister's coming-out ball at Apsley House in July 1947, the evening before the princess's engagement to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten was announced.

She spent part of her childhood and the years of World War II at St Nicholas, her father's 17th-century home in Richmond in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Despite not being Roman Catholic, she was educated at the Convent of the Assumption in Richmond.

## Career

Lady Westbury's career with St John Ambulance began when she became County Vice-president of the East Riding of Yorkshire in 1954. Her grandfather Lord Scarbrough had been Sub-Prior of the Order of St John, which oversees the ambulance brigade, from 1923 to 1943. In 1983, with Princess Margaret's encouragement, she accepted the position of superintendent-in-chief. In this role, she modernized and expanded the outreach of the organization. She organized a party in Hyde Park attended by Queen Elizabeth II to celebrate its centenary in 1988. She stepped down as superintendent-in-chief in 1990 and was made a Dame Grand Cross of the Order of St John, having already been made an Officer in 1975, a Commander in 1980 and a Dame in 1983. She was also made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1990 New Year Honours. From 1984, she also served as president of the Women's Electrical Association.

In her retirement, she was director of Toynbee Hall and the Brendoncare Foundation. She also sat on the grant sub-committee of the Royal Variety Charity.

## Marriage and family

On 21 October 1947, she married Captain The Hon. David Allan Bethell MC (1922–2001), grandson of Richard, 3rd Baron Westbury, at the Church of St Martin-in-the-Fields, London. Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret attended the wedding. In 1961, Bethell succeeded his older brother as 5th Baron Westbury. They had three children including Richard Nicholas Bethell, 6th Baron Westbury (born 1950).

Lady Westbury died on 25 November 2023, at the age of 99.

# Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)

"**Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)**" is the seventh track from Billy Joel's 1993 album *River of Dreams*, released in 1994 as the fourth and final single for the album. It was inspired by Alexa Ray Joel, his daughter by Christie Brinkley. The song is in the key of G major.

In 2004, it was announced that Joel had agreed to write two children's books for Scholastic, the U.S. publisher. The first book was titled *Goodnight, My Angel (A Lullabye)* and is a picture book based on the song and illustrated by Yvonne Gilbert. "Reassuring children that they are not alone or could be abandoned is very important for their well-being," Joel said in a statement in 2004. The second book was titled *New York State of Mind* and illustrated by Izak.

## Background

The song was originally written as a prelude to the song "The River of Dreams" in the style of a monophonic Gregorian chant. Joel had written English words in the chant describing a man who had lost his faith, and had then had the words translated into Latin. He changed his mind upon hearing the recording, and incorporated it into the song "River of Dreams". He later removed the interlude from the final studio version of "River of Dreams", and instead wrote lyrics to the melody that reflected his sentiment toward Alexa Ray, who was a young child at the time of writing. The version of "River of Dreams" incorporating "Lullabye" appeared as an alternate version on the box set *My Lives*, and on *An Evening of Questions and Answers...& a Little Music*.

## Critical reception

Dave Sholin from the *Gavin Report* described "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" as a "sweet and tender ballad that is bound to touch the hearts of all who hear it."

# Television: A Challenge to the Psychoanalytic Establishment

***Television: A Challenge to the Psychoanalytic Establishment*** is the 1990 English-language translation of Jacques Lacan's text "Télévision" accompanied by a "Dossier on the Institutional Debate". The single volume thus includes two distinct projects which were separately translated.

## Lacan's "Television"

In 1973, the film maker Benoît Jacquot approached Jacques Lacan via Jacques-Alain Miller with the idea of making a film on Lacan and his teaching. Lacan soon agreed to the project, which ultimately took the form of Miller posing questions to which Lacan replied at some length in a semi-improvised manner. The final edited film, commissioned by the ORTF, was broadcast in two parts on prime-time television (8.30pm on two consecutive Saturday evenings) under the title "Psychanalyse".

The text "Télévision" is a partially re-written transcription of the filmed dialogue between Miller and Lacan, with marginalia added by the former. It was published as a small book by Éditions du Seuil, and later included in the 2001 collection *Autres écrits*, confirming its status as one of Lacan's "written" texts as opposed to a simple transcription of an oral delivery. Lacan added the epigraph "He who interrogates me / also knows how to read me", in reference to Jacques-Alain Miller.

The English-language translation by Denis Hollier, Rosalind Krauss and Annette Michelson was first published in Issue 40 of *October* Journal in 1987 under the editorship of Joan Copjec.

## "A Challenge to the Psychoanalytic Establishment": Dossier on the Institutional Debate

In January 1977, the French journal *Ornicar ?* edited by Jacques-Alain Miller published two supplements: on the 1953 "Scission" of the Société française de psychanalyse from the Paris Psychoanalytic Society (the French branch of the International Psychoanalytic Association); and on Lacan's 1963 "Excommunication" from the latter.

A selection of these texts, together with some key institutional material relating to Lacan's École freudienne de Paris, were translated by Jeffrey Mehlman and included in the above-mentioned *October* volume.

The Dossier includes:

* Lacan's 1953 Letters to his former analyst Rudolph Loewenstein and the then President of the IPA, Heinz Hartmann.
* Hartmann's Report to the XVIIIth Congress of the IPA.
* Lacan's 1960 Letter to D. W. Winnicott who had served on the first committee of the IPA evaluating the situation of the SFP.
* Lacan's single lesson titled "Introduction to the Names-of-the-Father Seminar" delivered on 20 November 1963, the day after he learnt of his definitive stripping of the title of training analyst.
* Lacan's 1964 "Founding Act" of the EFP.
* Lacan's 1980 "Letter of Dissolution" of the EFP.

This important document constitutes the fullest record of the circumstances of Lacan's stripping of the title of training analyst in 1963, including first-hand historical elements that point beyond the oft-cited issue of Lacan's variable-length sessions.

## The 1990 Norton volume

In 1990, W.W. Norton & Co. re-published Issue 40 of the *October* journal as a hardback book. The collection includes an introductory text by Jacques-Alain Miller, "Microscopia" (translated by Bruce Fink), and an introduction to the Institutional Debate by Joan Copjec.

# Eremophila citrina

***Eremophila citrina*** is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to the centre of Western Australia. It is a dense, rounded shrub with yellow new growth, crowded leaves and lilac-coloured to light purple flowers.

## Description

*Eremophila citrina* is an erect, densely foliaged, upright shrub usually growing to a height of 1 m (3 ft) and almost as wide. Its new leaves and stems are covered with lemon-coloured glandular hairs which gradually fade to grey. The leaves are arranged alternately along the stems and are thick and clustered, and usually have a distinct mid-vein visible on the lower surface. They are linear to narrow egg-shaped, mostly 14–25 mm (0.6–1 in) long and about 2–4 mm (0.08–0.2 in) wide.

The flowers are borne singly in leaf axils on a straight stalk 7–11 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long. There are 5 lance-shaped, green to purple-brown sepals which are mostly 10–18 mm (0.39–0.71 in) long and covered with a layer of yellowish hairs, at least at first. The petals are 18–30 mm (0.7–1 in) long and joined at their lower end to form a tube. The petal tube is light purple to lilac-coloured on the outside and white with light purple spots inside. It is also glabrous on the outside except for the petal lobes which are covered with hairs. The inside surfaces of the lobes are glabrous while the tube is filled with long, soft hairs. Flowering occurs mostly from June to October following rain and is followed by fruits which are oval-shaped to almost spherical, have a papery covering and are about 6 mm (0.2 in) long.

## Taxonomy and naming

The species was first formally described by Robert Chinnock in 2007 and the description was published in *Eremophila and Allied Genera: A Monograph of the Plant Family Myoporaceae*. The type specimen was collected by Chinnock 17 km (10 mi) north-west of Minga Bore. The specific epithet (*citrina*) is a Latin word meaning "from a lemon tree" referring to the colour of the new growth of this species.

## Distribution and habitat

*Eremophila citrina* occurs in a broad band between Newman and Laverton where it grows in stony soil derived from laterite.

## Conservation status

*Eremophila citrina* is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.

## Use in horticulture

This eremophila is not widely known in horticulture although it is growing well on a property in western Victoria. Its golden new growth and purple or lilac flowers are attractive features. Plants have been grown by grafting onto *Myoporum*. It grows best in well-drained soil in a sunny location but is sensitive to frost.

# Eremophila complanata

***Eremophila complanata*** is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to a small area in the south west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with narrow, flattened leaves and hairy pink flowers which are also distinctly flattened.

## Description

*Eremophila complanata* is an erect, wispy shrub usually growing to about 2 m (7 ft) high and 1 m (3 ft)wide with sticky branches due to the presence of resin. The leaves are arranged alternately and are well-spaced along the branches. They are linear to narrow elliptic in shape, mostly 20–35 mm (0.8–1 in) long and 1.6–3.5 mm (0.06–0.1 in) wide, dark green, sticky and glossy .

The flowers appear in groups of 3 to 6 in leaf axils on flattened stalks 7–15 mm (0.3–0.6 in) long. There are 5 slightly overlapping, egg-shaped, pointed, hairy, green, shiny sepals, 3.5–5.5 mm (0.1–0.2 in) long. The petals are 15–18 mm (0.6–0.7 in) long and joined at their lower end to form a tube. The petal tube is a shade of pink to purple on the upper surface and white or pale pink below. The outside of the tube and the petal lobes are hairy but the inside surface of the lobes is glabrous while the inside of the tube is filled with long, soft hairs. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering occurs in August to September and is followed by fruits which are an oval shape, compressed, glabrous and about 4 mm (0.2 in) long.

## Taxonomy and naming

*Eremophila complanata* was first formally described by Robert Chinnock in 2007 and the description was published in *Eremophila and Allied Genera: A Monograph of the Plant Family Myoporaceae*. The type specimen was collected by Chinnock in the Chiddarcooping Nature Reserve near Mukinbudin. The specific epithet (*complanata*) is a Latin word meaning "flattened".

## Distribution and habitat

This eremophila occurs in the Chiddarcooping Nature Reserve in the Avon Wheatbelt biogeographic region where it grows in sandy soil near granite boulders.

## Conservation status

*Eremophila complanata* is classified as "Priority Two" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife, meaning that it is poorly known and from one or a few locations.

## Use in horticulture

This eremophila is an attractive addition to gardens because of its glossy leaves and massed display of bright pink flowers in spring. It is easy to propagate from firm tip cuttings taken from December to March and grows in a range of soils in a sunny or semi-shaded position. It is drought tolerant and mostly frost resistant but can be damaged by strong winds, suggesting that it should be planted amongst other shrubs.

# Eremophila compacta

***Eremophila compacta***, commonly known as **compact poverty bush**, is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to the central west of Western Australia. There are two distinct subspecies differing in their growth habit but both have grey leaves due to a covering of white or grey hairs, and purple to blue, rarely white flowers.

## Description

*Eremophila compacta* is an erect shrub usually growing to about 0.4–1.5 m (1–5 ft) high with rough stems due to raised leaf bases. The leaves are arranged alternately along the branches and are lance-shaped or egg-shaped, mostly 9–22 mm (0.4–0.9 in) long and 2.5–7 mm (0.1–0.3 in) wide.

The flowers are borne singly or in pairs in leaf axils on a straight stalk 4.5–16 mm (0.2–0.6 in) long. There are 5 lance-shaped, pointed, hairy, green to brownish-purple sepals, 8–14 mm (0.3–0.6 in) long. The petals are 19–27.5 mm (0.7–1 in) long and joined at their lower end to form a tube. The petal tube and the lobes are purple to lilac-coloured on the outside and the tube is white inside and filled with long spidery and woolly hairs. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering time depends on subspecies and the fruits that follow it are covered with sticky resin, oval-shaped, flattened and 5.5–7.5 mm (0.2–0.3 in) long.

## Taxonomy and naming

The species was first formally described by Spencer Le Marchant Moore in 1921 and the description was published in *Journal of Botany, British and Foreign*. The type specimen was collected by "Miss Brown" at "Yalgoo on redsoil hills or flats". The specific epithet (*compacta*) refers to the growth habit of the type species.

In his monograph, *Eremophila and allied genera*, Robert Chinnock described two subspecies and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:

* *Eremophila compacta* S.Moore subsp. *compacta*, commonly known as compact eremophila is a compact shrub growing to a height of 0.4–0.8 m (1–3 ft) and which has a shorter flower stalk (4–8 mm (0.2–0.3 in)), densely hairy, forward-facing sepals and flowers during most months after rain;
* *Eremophila compacta* subsp. *fecunda* Chinnock is an open shrub growing to a height of 1–2 m (3–7 ft) and which has a longer flower stalk (8–16 mm (0.3–0.6 in)), sparsely hairy, spreading sepals and flowers between May and October.

Subspecies *fecunda* usually has blue petals but can have pink or white flowers and is a softer-looking shrub.

The specific epithet is derived from the "Latin *compacta*, close together". The epithet *fecunda* is derived from the "Latin *fecunda*, fruitful, fertile; referring to the abundance of this subspecies".

## Distribution and habitat

*Eremophila compacta* occurs near and between Carnarvon, Cue, Paynes Find, Murchison and Mount Augustus in the Murchison and Yalgoo biogeographic regions where it grows in red sandy or clay soils.

## Conservation status

*Eremophila compacta* is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.

## Use in horticulture

Compact poverty bush has attractive silvery-grey foliage and pink to purple flowers. It is suitable for gardens in dry inland areas but also thrives in coastal areas including near Sydney. It is usually propagated from cuttings. It is drought resistant and prefers full sun but a well-drained soil is essential. It will tolerate light frosts and responds to regular pruning with a more compact shape.

***Eremophila conferta*** is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to a small area in the central west of Western Australia. It is a shrub with many tangled branches with leaves crowded near their ends and with mauve or purple flowers.

## Description

*Eremophila conferta* is a shrub which usually grows to 1–1.5 m (3–5 ft) high with many tangled, dark brown branches which are often hidden, especially near their ends, by the leaves. The branches are covered with a layer of long, branched hairs. The leaves are arranged alternately, densely crowded and are covered with soft grey hairs. They are also elliptic to egg-shaped, mostly 12–25 mm (0.5–1 in) long, 6.5–13 mm (0.3–0.5 in) wide and have a distinct mid-vein on their lower surface.

The flowers are borne singly in leaf axils on stalks 3–9 mm (0.1–0.4 in) long. There are 5 narrow, lance-shaped sepals, 7–13.5 mm (0.3–0.5 in) long which have a felt-like texture due to a covering of long, soft hairs. The petals are 18–28 mm (0.7–1 in) long and joined at their lower end to form a tube. The petal tube is purple, blue or lilac-coloured and white inside, with faint purple spots and is mostly glabrous. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering occurs mostly from August to September and is followed by fruits which are oval-shaped, yellow-brown with a papery covering and are about 5.5–7.5 mm (0.2–0.3 in) long.

## Taxonomy and naming

*Eremophila conferta* was first formally described by Robert Chinnock in 2007 and the description was published in *Eremophila and Allied Genera: A Monograph of the Plant Family Myoporaceae*. The type specimen was collected by Chinnock about 4 km (2 mi) west of the Mount Augustus homestead on the lower slopes of Mount Augustus. The specific epithet (*conferta*) is a Latin word meaning "crowded" referring to the leaves of this species.

## Distribution and habitat

This eremophila occurs between Kumarina and the Barlee Range in the Gascoyne biogeographic region where it grows in stony soils on plains, and stony ridges.

## Conservation status

*Eremophila conferta* is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.

## Use in horticulture

This eremophila features soft grey foliage and showy flowers but is frost sensitive and will not tolerate humidity. It has been propagated by grafting onto *Myoporum* and grown in well-drained soil in a sunny position.

# Ernest Hoschedé

**(Jean Louis) Ernest Hoschedé** (Paris, 18 December 1837 – 19 March 1891) was a French department store magnate in Paris. Also during the successful period of his life, he was an art collector and critic. He lost his Impressionist art collection when he went bankrupt in 1877–1878. He moved his family into the home of Claude Monet in Vétheuil. He then lived in Paris and worked at *Le Voltaire* and then *Magazine Français Illustré*. His family continued to live with the Monets before and after his death. The year after his death, his wife Alice Hoschedé married Claude Monet, and was believed to have been Monet's mistress for years.

## Early life

Ernest Hoschedé was the son of a wealthy merchant of shawls and fine lace, Casimir Joseph Edouard Hoschedé, and his wife Eugenie Honorine Saintonge.

## Marriage

Hoschedé married a Belgian woman, Alice Raingo, who was also from a wealthy family. They lived in Paris at 64 Rue de Lisbonne and had a place at Montgeron, southeast of Paris, *Château de Rottembourg*. They entertained lavishly at the Château, including hiring a train from Paris to transport guests.

## Career

Hoschedé was a Paris department store director, art critic, and art collector. He collected and sold the works of Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro and Alfred Sisley. He was best known as a patron of Claude Monet and other Impressionist painters. He also became good friends with Monet. In 1876, Hoschedé commissioned Monet to paint decorative panels for the *Château de Rottembourg* and several landscape paintings. According to the *Nineteenth-century European Art: A Topical Dictionary*, it may have been during this visit that Monet began a relationship with Alice Hoschedé and her youngest son, Jean-Pierre, may have been fathered by Monet.

Hoschedé lived an "extravagant lifestyle" and became bankrupt in 1877. For a period of time Hoschedé went to Belgium to escape his creditors. His art collection was auctioned off in June 1878 for a fraction of its value. This was a blow to the Impressionists, especially Monet. Although stunned by Hoschedé's financial failure, Monet was "swift to offer his support", inviting the Hoschedés to live with him and his family.

## Life with the Monets

Hoschedé, his wife and their children moved into a house in Vétheuil with Monet, Monet's ailing first wife Camille, and the Monet's two sons Jean and Michel. Needing a bigger home for the 12 member Monet and Hoschedé families and the Monet's servants, they moved into a larger house on the road from Vétheuil to La Roche-Guyon.

## Paris

Hoschedé spent most of his time in Paris, having found employment at *Le Voltaire* newspaper. He kept his family in Vétheuil where it was cheaper to live. After Camille Monet's death in 1879, Monet and Alice (along with the children from the two respective families) continued living together at Poissy and later at Giverny.

He worked then at the *Magazine Français Illustré* as an art editor. Hoschedé developed a severe case of gout in early 1891 after years of overeating and drinking. As his illness became more severe, Alice came to Paris to care for him.

## Death

Ernest Hoschedé died in 1891 a poor man. His funeral and burial, which were held at Giverny at his children's request, were paid for by Monet.

The following year Alice married Claude Monet.

# Lypnyky, Ternopil Oblast

**Lypnyky** (formerly **Mali** and **Velyki Lypnyky**) is a hamlet on the site of which the village of Zavodske was built at the same time as the Chortkiv Sugar Plant.

## Name

The historical name of the hamlet was formed semantically from the geographical term "lypnyk", which means "linden forest", "small linden forest". That is, its name comes from the location near the tract Lypnyk on the basis of the fact that in this area of large forest dominated by linden trees.

## History

Founded in the late 19th century.

Before the Second World War there were 12 peasant farms. On the farm, on the site of the current hospital, there was a farm of Mr. Rynchakovskyi, where there was a house, farm buildings, a garden, a large apiary, 10 hectares of land. Local peasants worked on this land for a fee. The war did not affect the village, as troops were only moving through the village. In the post-war period, three Polish families left the village, and three immigrant families arrived from Poland. Authorities accused and convicted two residents of the village of aiding the UPA. They were serving sentences in the Magadan region (RF).

In 1950, in the process of collectivization, the Lipnyky hamlet was annexed to the neighboring village of Pastushe, which was part of the Lenin collective farm. Land, household equipment and cattle were confiscated from the peasants.

## People

In 1952, the farm had 27 yards and 121 inhabitants.

# Piscasaw Creek

**Piscasaw Creek** is a 31.6-mile-long (50.9 km) tributary of the Kishwaukee River in the U.S. states of Wisconsin and Illinois. Rising in Walworth County, Wisconsin, it passes through McHenry County, Illinois before discharging into the Kishwaukee in Boone County, Illinois. Piscasaw Creek's mouth is located near Belvidere, Illinois.

## Course

Piscasaw Creek originates in Walworth County, Wisconsin, and travels through McHenry and Boone counties until it meets the Kishwaukee River near Belvidere, Illinois. The mouth of the Piscasaw along the Kishwaukee is at a place traditionally known as Red Horse Bend.

## Description

Piscasaw Creek is classified as a "Class A" drainage by the criteria established by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, signifying the small river's relative health with respect to waterborne nutrients and chemicals. Traditional dairy farming operations around Harvard, Illinois have not overloaded the creek's biotic capacity. However, exponential residential development starting in the 2000s is expected to present new challenges to the creek.

The land around Piscasaw Creek is relatively flat and does not slope much. Much of the creek is bordered by strips of damp soil and wetland, with cattails and willow trees. The wetlands have helped to maintain water quality. The Piscasaw Creek watershed, including its tributaries, drains over 120 square miles (310 km2) of land, making it the fourth largest tributary of the Kishwaukee River.

In 2008 the Illinois Natural History Survey examined Piscasaw Creek at two different sites in McHenry County's Beck's Woods. At site one the creek was 12 meters (m) wide and 20 centimeters (cm) deep. The river bed had a substrate of cobble and the stream at that site consisted entirely of riffles. At site number two the creek was 10 m wide and 30 cm deep, this area was also dominated by riffles.

## Tributaries

Piscasaw Creek has several small tributaries. These include: Lawrence Creek, Geryune Creek, Little Beaver Creek, and Mokeler Creek.

## Wildlife

Piscasaw Creek contains populations of Chub, sucker, rock bass, smallmouth bass, bluegill, green sunfish, brown trout, and rainbow trout. The rainbow trout in Piscasaw Creek are stocked each year by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the McHenry County Conservation District. Brown trout populations are most likely natural, since no stocking efforts were made. Both species are known to breed successfully, though the overwhelming populations of various chub and sucker often deter most fisherman from consistently fishing it. In total, 46 species of fish have been documented in Piscasaw Creek. Aside from fish, 17 species of mussel have been collected from the creek. Reptiles and amphibians in and around the Piscasaw include the green frog, ornate box turtle, northern leopard frog, fox snake, Chicago garter snake and the plains garter snake.

Multiple state and federal endangered and threatened species have been identified within the Piscasaw Creek area. The mussels *Ellipto dilatata* (Spike) and *Alasmidonta viridis* (Slippershell) have been documented in the creek; the former is threatened, the latter endangered. An endangered plant, the speckled alder, grows along the creek too. Piscasaw Creek has been documented to sustain river otters. The Boone County Conservation District has identified the state-threatened Blanding's turtle in the creek.

## Public use

Two stretches of land along Piscasaw Creek have been preserved for public use:

On 7 July 2020, Joyce pleaded guilty at Ipswich Crown Court to making an indecent image of a child. On 7 August 2020, he was given a suspended prison sentence.

## Early life and education

Joyce lived in Perth, Scotland, with his family for most of his childhood and adolescence. He joined the Army in 1978, initially as a private in the Black Watch before taking a sabbatical between 1981 and 1987 to attend technical college and university where he gained a BA (Hons) in Religious Studies from Stirling University. As a university candidate, he was made a probationary second lieutenant on 25 August 1987.

In 1987 he attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst before being commissioned into the Royal Army Educational Corps (later Adjutant General's Corps) as a subaltern with seniority to 7 October 1981. After receiving his commission he continued his studies in-service and acquired an MA in education from the University of Bath and an MBA from Keele University. During his time in the Army he served in Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Germany and Central America. He was promoted to captain on 25 January 1990 and to major in 1992.

Joyce became involved in controversy after describing the Army "as being run by a coterie of white, male, privately-educated generals and said it was rife with racism and sexism." A Fabian pamphlet by Joyce titled *Arms and the Man: renewing the armed services* had been published without the proper authorisation, breaching *Queen's Regulations*, which govern the conduct of officers in the British armed forces. He continued to speak out about how he perceived the army to the disapproval of his superiors. At a hearing in January 1999 which invoked the Pay Warrant rules, Joyce was requested to resign from the army by 13 March or be discharged. He resigned his commission on 12 March 1999 and left the army,

Joyce subsequently served on the staff of the Commission for Racial Equality (Scotland) before his election to the House of Commons.

He was first elected to parliament at the 2000 Falkirk West by-election, which was prompted by the resignation of Dennis Canavan. On election he served as a member of the Scottish Affairs and the Procedures Select Committees at Westminster. Joyce retained his seat in the 2001 general election, and was elected to the enlarged Falkirk constituency in the 2005 general election.

From 2003 Joyce served as a Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to a number of British Government ministers. He resigned as the Parliamentary Aide to Bob Ainsworth on 3 September 2009 citing concerns over the war in Afghanistan. He had previously been PPS to John Hutton during three of Hutton's cabinet posts: when he was the Secretary of State for Defence; Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform and Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. Prior to that, Joyce served as the parliamentary aide to ministers Mike O'Brien MP, when O'Brien was the Minister for Energy at the Department of Trade and Industry and Margaret Hodge MP, Minister for Industry and the Regions at the Department of Trade and Industry.

Joyce persuaded the Treasury to change the child benefit regulations to remove a discrepancy that disadvantaged young Scottish FE students relative to their peers in the rest of the UK. In April 2008, Joyce became the first European parliamentarian to be granted an opportunity to address the newly formed Parliament of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, when he visited the DRC as the chair of the all-party parliamentary group on the Great Lakes Region of Africa with other members of the group. In September 2008, Joyce was criticised by local government councillors for describing the name of the new Clackmannanshire Bridge as "unimaginative" and "parochial". The naming of the bridge was reported as a contentious matter.

Joyce edited *Now's the Hour!: new thinking for Holyrood* and has served as Chair of the National Executive of the Fabian Society.

In September 2011, he contributed to the book *What next for Labour? Ideas for a new Generation*; his piece was entitled "It's a Sin".

### Parliamentary record

Joyce most often put questions in the House of Commons to the Scotland Office, Department for International Development, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Northern Ireland Office, and Ministry of Defence. While a Parliamentary Private Secretary Joyce was expected to vote with the Government, but even when not, he never broke the Labour whip in Parliament. Joyce was not a member of any Parliamentary Select Committees at the end of his time in the Commons, but has been a member of several public bill committees.

### Expenses claims

Joyce was the top-claiming Member of the House of Commons for the 2005–06 Parliamentary session, claiming £174,811 in expenses, of which 62% was for staff and office costs. After the 2005–06 Parliamentary session he made a public pledge to cut his expenses; during the 2006–07 session he moved down to 11th on the list of MPs' expenses and allowances, but again rose to the top for 2007–08 with £187,334. In October 2007, he claimed £180 for three oil paintings. When asked why he had used taxpayers' funds in such a way he replied "because they look nice."

## Criminal record

### Drink driving

On 18 November 2010, he was arrested for failing to provide a breath test following a motoring incident in Falkirk. He pleaded guilty in court the following day and was fined £400 and banned from driving for a year. Joyce resigned from his position as Shadow Northern Ireland Minister and apologised for his behaviour.

### Assault

On 22 February 2012 Joyce was arrested in the Palace of Westminster on suspicion of committing assault. He was reported to have attacked as many as six politicians, including a Labour whip, after having gone "berserk" following a dispute with a group of Tory MPs sitting nearby. He headbutted and punched the Conservative MP Stuart Andrew after striking Labour Assistant Whip Phil Wilson while Wilson was attempting to restrain him. He also headbutted Thurrock Conservative councillor Ben Maney and punched Basildon Conservative Councillor Luke Mackenzie, both of whom were attempting to break up the incident. Two more Conservative MPs, Alec Shelbrooke and Jackie Doyle-Price, were also caught up in the fracas while attempting to intervene and calm Joyce down. The disturbance occurred at the Strangers' Bar (reserved for MPs and their guests).

The following day Joyce was suspended from the Labour party. He pleaded guilty to four charges in relation to the incident, was fined £3,000 and ordered to pay £1,400 in compensation to his victims, but not given a custodial sentence. In a statement before the House of Commons on 12 March 2012, he apologised to his victims, stated that he had resigned from the Labour Party, and that he intended to complete his current term as an MP but not seek re-election. In August 2012, Joyce was fined £600 for removing the electronic tag that had been fitted to his leg as part of the community order.

A year later, on 14 March 2013, Joyce was again arrested after a disturbance during a karaoke event in the sports and social bar of the House of Commons. He was seen outside the bar wrestling on the floor with two police officers and reportedly had one of the officers in a headlock. He was not prosecuted.

On 17 October 2014, Joyce was arrested after clashing with a teenager at a store in Camden, in London. He was charged with two counts of common assault and one count of criminal damage. He appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court in London on 30 December 2014, where he pleaded not guilty and was given conditional bail to appear for trial. On 1 May 2015, he was found guilty on two counts of common assault in an appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London. On 27 May 2015, he was sentenced to a 10-week jail term suspended for two years, and ordered to pay a £1,080 fine and to attend a rehabilitation course which aims to reduce violent behaviour.

### Disturbance at Edinburgh Airport

On 19 May 2013, Joyce was arrested at Edinburgh Airport after police were called to an altercation between him and airline staff regarding a mislaid mobile phone. He was reported to have struggled with police officers before being restrained on the ground and handcuffed. On 21 March 2014, he pleaded guilty to a charge of breach of the peace at Edinburgh Sheriff Court and was fined £1,500 with £150 compensation.

### Child sex offence

On 6 November 2018, Joyce was arrested and charged with having made an indecent image of a child. He had a 51-second Category-A film on his Apple Macbook Air that showed "the sexual abuse of very young children" between the ages of 12 months and 7 years. The video was accessed by Joyce between August 2013 and November 2018. He was given unconditional bail. On 7 July 2020, Joyce pleaded guilty at Ipswich Crown Court to making an indecent image of a child and was ordered to sign the sex offenders' register. On 7 August 2020, he was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for two years, and also ordered to perform 150 hours of community service.

## Personal life

Joyce is in a long-term relationship with the writer India Knight.
