**Katharine Everett Gilbert** (1886–1952) was an American philosopher who specialized in aesthetics and the philosophy of art. She was a founding trustee of the American Society for Aesthetics as well as its first woman president. Gilbert was also one of the first women to be president of a division of the American Philosophical Association. She was the first female professor at Duke University and, during her lifetime, the only female chairman of a liberal arts department.

She published four books on her studies, *Maurice Blondel's Philosophy of Action* (1924); *Studies in Recent Aesthetics* (1927); with Helmut Kuhn, *A History of Aesthetics* (1939); and *Aesthetic Studies: Architecture and Poetry* (1952). She was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters degree by Brown University in 1942.

## Education

Gilbert started her schooling by attending local schools in her hometown of Newport, Rhode Island, before attending Brown University beginning in 1904. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1908 and a Master of Arts in 1910. While in her master's program she assisted Alexander Meiklejohn and Walter Goodnow Everett in philosophy. She then moved to Cornell University to continue her graduate studies as a scholar and fellow of the Sage School of Philosophy, becoming a Doctor of Philosophy in 1912.

## Career

After school, Gilbert became the assistant of the editor of the *Philosophical Review* at Cornell, James E. Creighton. Between 1922 and 1929, she worked at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a Kenan Research Fellow in Philosophy. At the end of her fellowship she also worked as an acting professor of philosophy. In 1930 she was appointed professor of philosophy at Duke University. By 1942, she was named the head of the Department of Aesthetics, Art, & Music which had recently been established.

## Awards and accomplishments

Gilbert became the first woman to be a full-time professor as well as being the only woman to hold the chairmanship of a liberal arts department at Duke during her life. She was also involved in inaugurating the Chamber Arts Society, and received an honorary doctor of letters degree by Brown University. Katherine worked her way up in the American Philosophical Society and was ultimately elected president. This made her one of the three women until that point to hold the office. She was involved in the International Spinoza Society, the Southern Philosophical and Psychological Association, and the American Association of University Women. She was the president from 1947 to 1948 of the American Society for Aesthetics. Duke University named one of their residence halls the Gilbert-Addoms Hall after her.

## Philosophy

Gilbert's main interests in philosophy were aesthetics, art, criticism, architecture, dance, and literature. She was primarily interested in what beauty meant to the observer making it the artist's obligation to communicate their experience to the onlooker. In *Philosophy of Feeling in Current Poetics* Gilbert argues that the purpose of poetry should be to leave the reader with a satisfied sense where the world of immediate experience appears more "real". Contemporary poetry, on the other hand, makes the world more foreign, distant, and confusing.

## *History of Aesthetics*

Published in 1939 with Helmut Kuhn, *History of Aesthetics* was made to be a textbook for University students as well as others curious to know more about what aesthetics mean. She acknowledges in the preface that her book necessarily limits the diverse range of opinions held at any given point in history to a few very notable thinkers but such an oversimplification is useful for the reader to extract personal meaning.

The book is written as a dialogue being had across history on the basic questions like, "what is beauty?" and "how does one make things beautiful?" It begins with Plato, Aristotle, and the renaissance, quickly goes through the 17th and 18th centuries, highlights thinkers in the middle including Kant, Goethe, Humboldt, Schniller, Fichte, Schnelling, Hegel, and Schopenhauer, and ends with metaphysics in crisis, aesthetics in the age of science, and art in our times.

Gilbert articulates why it's important for art to be coherent with emphasis on human relatedness which can be achieved if art manages to produce an experience of heightened spirit. However she believes these values are in peril in the modern day since Nietzsche announced the Death of God. She hopes this can be overcome by not identifying with the end of truth but rather the process of getting to truth. She summarizes her position concisely at the end of her preface:

"What then do art and beauty mean? After submitting to the discipline of history the authors must say: Their meaning is not within the four corners of any one or two propositions, but is the fullness of significance which distills form the long-sustained process of all the definings. Who today would say where beauty lies? It is neither in Athens nor Strasbourg, but in all the places where there has been an objective counterpart of an authentic aesthetic feeling. The meaning of art and the meaning of beauty are similarly within the dialectic of the whole manifold of philosophical systems and styles."

Gilbert was married to the Duke English professor Allan H. Gilbert. They had two sons: Everett, a chemist who earned 180 patents during his career, and Creighton, an art historian.

# Kathryn Dewey

**Kathryn Gertrude Dewey** (born March 9, 1952) is an American nutritionist. She is a Distinguished Professor Emerita in the Department of Nutrition at the University of California, Davis. Her studies in nutrition led to adaptations to the World Health Organization's recommendations for infants.

## Early life and education

Dewey was born on March 9, 1952, in New York, New York. She earned her PhD in Biological Sciences from the University of Michigan.

## Career

Upon receiving her PhD, Dewey joined the faculty at the University of California, Davis in 1980. As a professor of nutrition, she led two studies in Honduras which concluded that infants should receive only breast milk for their first six months of life. Her research team also found that the growth rate of breast-fed babies differs significantly from that of formula- fed babies, thus prompting a change to the World Health Organization's (WHO) recommendations for infants. In 1999, Dewey co-authored a book titled *Complementary Feeding of Young Children in Developing Countries* which was aimed at WHO and UNICEF to "stimulate and guide creation of national programs to improve child-feeding practices in low-income countries." In the same year, Dewey was also the lead researcher on a study which found that diet and aerobic exercise could help breast feeding mothers lose weight after pregnancy. As a result of her research, Dewey was appointed director of a WHO-led research project to revise growth charts for children under the age of 5 years. The results of the project were released by WHO in 2006. Following this, Dewey led another research project focusing on delayed umbilical cord clamping which also contributed to WHO policy.

In 2010, Dewey led a research team in Bangladesh and Guatemala to test whether Nutributter could prevent stunting and abnormal motor development in malnutritioned children. As a result of her research, Dewey was recipient of UC Davis' Award of Distinction and McCollum International Lectureship in Nutrition Award. In 2017, Dewey was appointed to sit on the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine for a three-year term. The following year, she elected a Fellow of the American Society for Nutrition and named to sit on the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee.

## Storyline

Opened to the public on January 1, 1896, Mystic Point is the site of mysterious forces and supernatural events in the heart of a dense, uncharted rain forest in Papua New Guinea. It is the home of Lord Henry Mystic, a member of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers and his traveling companion, a monkey named Albert. As Imagineer Mark Schrimer tells the story in an interview at Inside the Magic.net:

> On one of his expeditions he basically fell in love with this location - this uncharted tropical wilderness - and wanted to stake his claim, make his home there. So he cleared out part of the jungle along the river bank and built this Victorian manor. He’s obviously a well to-do British gentleman and he wanted a little bit of home in this tropical wilderness. He started with the essence of a Victorian manor but of course wanted to embellish it with all the different places that he’s been. So it’s this eclectic Victorian manor sitting in this cleared out jungle along the river.
>
> While he was there, that’s where he met and actually rescued his traveling companion, a young monkey that he named Albert, after one of his beloved uncles. Between finding this location and meeting his now lifelong pal and companion Albert, this is really the essence of Mystic Point.
>
> Continuing that idea through, we wanted to tell the story about his collection. Anyone willing to make this hard journey and stumble on or find Mystic Point, he - being kind of a philanthropic character - wanted to open the doors of his home to showcase his collection. And that’s what guests are coming to Mystic Point for, to showcase and be able to view the collection and also meet Lord Henry and Albert.

title: Viennensis

abstract: Viennensis or Gallia Viennensis was a Late Roman province that derived its name from its capital Vienna, a Roman city, first located in Gallia Narbonensis. Vienna was first given the rank of colonia by Caesar, after his Gallic campaigns in 58 BCE and 52 BCE, as a colony of veterans; Augustus reinstated the rights after the romanized Allobroges had revolted which led to a temporary loss of the title; Caligula eventually named it Colonia Julia Augusta Florentia Viennensium in 40 CE. During the reorganization of the provinces under the tetrachy of Diocletian in the early 4th century, Vienna then became the capital of the province of Viennensis with the tribes of the Allobrogi, Segovellauni, Helvii, Tricastini, Vocontii and Cavari. In the 5th century the province was further divided into Gallia Viennense I, with its capital Vienne, and Gallia Viennense II, with its capital Arles.

# Fernseh

The **Fernseh AG** television company was registered in Berlin on July 3, 1929, by John Logie Baird, Robert Bosch, Zeiss Ikon and D.S. Loewe as partners. John Baird owned Baird Television Ltd. in London, Zeiss Ikon was a camera company in Dresden, D.S. Loewe owned a company in Berlin and Robert Bosch owned a company, Robert Bosch GmbH, in Stuttgart. with an initial capital of 100,000 Reichsmark. Fernseh AG did research and manufacturing of television equipment.

## Etymology

The company name "Fernseh AG" is a compound of *Fernsehen* ‘television’ and *Aktiengesellschaft (AG)* ‘joint-stock company’. The company was mainly known by its German abbreviation "FESE". See section see also on this page for other uses.

## Early years

In 1929 Fernseh AG's original board of directors included: Emanuel Goldberg, Oliver George Hutchinson (for Baird), David Ludwig Loewe, and Erich Carl Rassbach (for Bosch) and Eberhard Falkenstein who did the legal work. Carl Zeiss's company worked alongside the early Bosch company. Much of the early work was in the area of research and development. Along with early TV sets (DE-6, E1, DE10) Fernseh AG made the first "Remote Truck"/"OB van", an "intermediate-film" mobile television camera in August 1932. This was a film camera that had its film developed in the truck and a "telecine" then transmitted the signal almost "live".

## Fernseh GmbH

* In 1939 Robert Bosch GmbH took complete ownership of Fernseh AG when Zeiss Ikon AG sold its share of Fernseh AG.
* In 1952 Fernseh moved to Darmstadt, Germany, and increased its broadcast product line.
* In 1967 Fernseh, by then commonly called "Bosch Fernseh", introduced color TV products. Fernseh offered a full line of video and film equipment: professional video cameras, VTRs and telecine devices. On August 27, 1967, the first color TV program in Germany aired, with a live broadcast from a Bosch Fernseh outside broadcast (OB) van. The networks ZDF, NDR and WDR each acquired a new color OB van from Bosch Fernseh to begin broadcasting in color.

## Fernsehanlagen GmbH

In 1972 Robert Bosch renamed its TV division: Fernsehanlagen GmbH (Fernseh facilities). The company supplied almost all the studio equipment for the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. The Darmstadt HQ had over 2000 employees in 1972. In 1972 Fernseh started to manufacture SECAM TV studio equipment for Moscow.

## Fernseh Inc.

* In October 1979 Bell and Howell's TeleMation Inc. Division located in Salt Lake City, Utah, entered a joint venture with Robert Bosch GmbH, Bosch's Fernseh Division. The new joint venture was called Fernseh Inc., Bosch Fernseh Division, located in Darmstadt, Germany.
* In April 1982 Bosch fully acquired Fernseh Inc., renaming it "Robert Bosch Corporation, Fernseh Division".
* In 1986 Bosch entered into a new joint venture with Philips Broadcast in Breda, Netherlands. This new company was called Broadcast Television Systems or BTS inc. Philips had been in the Broadcast market for many years with a line of PC- and LDK- Norelco professional video cameras and other video products.
* In 1995 Philips Electronics North America Corp. fully acquired BTS Inc., renaming it Philips Broadcast-Philips Digital Video Systems. Philips sold many of the Spirit DataCines.
* In March 2001 this Philips division was sold to Thomson SA, the Division was call Thomson Multimedia. In 2002, the French electronics giant Thomson SA also acquired the Grass Valley Group from a private investor that had acquired it three years earlier from Tektronix in Beaverton, Oregon, USA. The name of this division of Thomson was shortened to Grass Valley. The Fernseh's Darmstadt factory, near the Darmstadt Train Station and European Space Operations Centre was moved a short distance to Weiterstadt, Germany. (Later, Grass Valley was sold to Belden on February 6, 2014. Belden also owned Miranda.)
* Thomson Film Division, located in Weiterstadt including the product line of Spirit DataCine 4K, Bones Workstation, Scanity realtime film scanner and LUTher 3D Color Space converter, was sold to Parter Capital Group. The sale was made public on Sept. 9, 2008 and completed on Dec. 1, 2008. The new Headquarters was still in Weiterstadt, the former Bosch Fernseh — BTS factory. Parter Capital Group continued to have worldwide offices to support products from Weiterstadt, Germany. The new name of the company is **Digital Film Technology**. DFT Digital Film Technology became part of a new company: Precision Mechatronics GmbH in Weiterstadt, Germany. On October 1, 2012 Precision Mechatronics and DFT were acquired by Prasad Group, part of Prasad Studios. In 2013 DFT moved from Weiterstadt to Arheilgen-Darmstadt, Germany.

title: Myosotis tenericaulis

abstract: Myosotis tenericaulis is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, endemic to New Zealand. Donald Petrie described the species in 1918. Plants of this species of forget-me-not are perennial rosettes with creeping, sprawling bracteate inflorescences and white corollas.

# Myosotis tenericaulis

***Myosotis tenericaulis*** is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, endemic to New Zealand. Donald Petrie described the species in 1918. Plants of this species of forget-me-not are perennial rosettes with creeping, sprawling bracteate inflorescences and white corollas.

## Taxonomy and etymology

*Myosotis tenericaulis* is in the plant family Boraginaceae and was originally described in 1918 by Donald Petrie. *Myosotis tenericaulis* is morphologically most similar to the other creeping, bracteate-prostrate species from the southern hemisphere, including *M. matthewsii, M. chaffeyorum* and *M. spatulata* (all from New Zealand) and especially *M. albiflora* (from southern Chile and Argentina)*.* It can be distinguished from *M. albiflora* by its smaller nutlets (\< 1.8 mm long vs. \> 1.8 mm long), styles that are usually longer than the calyx at flowering (ratio of the pistil length : calyx length is usually \> 1 : 1 vs. \< 1 : 1), and shorter stamens (\< 2.7 mm vs. \> 2.7 mm long).

The lectotype specimen of *Myosotis tenericaulis* was selected by Lucy Moore and is lodged at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (herbarium WELT), with an isolectotype at the Allan Herbarium (CHR), Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research.

The specific epithet, *tenericaulis*, refers to the stem (Latin: *caulis*), which is soft and delicate (Latin: *tener*), referring to the ‘very thin and flaccid’ inflorescences of this species.

## Phylogeny

*Myosotis tenericaulis* was shown to be a part of the monophyletic southern hemisphere lineage of *Myosotis* in phylogenetic analyses of standard DNA sequencing markers (nuclear ribosomal DNA and chloroplast DNA regions). The sole individual of *M. tenericaulis* that were sequenced showed that this species was sister to the sole individual of *M. albiflora* in the analysis of nuclear ribosomal DNA. However species relationships within the southern hemisphere lineage in general were not well resolved.

## Description

*Myosotis tenericaulis* plants are rosettes. The rosette leaves have petioles 4–35 (or rarely up to 65) mm long. The rosette leaf blades are 4–24 mm long by 2–15 mm wide (length: width ratio 1.5–2.6: 1), usually oblanceolate to obovate or elliptic, widest at or above the middle, with an obtuse apex. Both surfaces of the leaf are sparsely to densely covered in straight, short, appressed, antrorse (forward-facing) hairs that are oriented at an angle (upper surface) or parallel (lower surface) relative to the mid vein. Sometimes the lower surface of the leaf is glabrous. Each rosette has 2–10 sprawling, creeping, prostrate, unbranched or once-branched bracteate inflorescences that are 74–410 mm long. The cauline leaves (sometimes called bracts) are very similar to the rosette leaves, but are smaller and become even smaller and sessile toward the tip of the inflorescence. The flowers are 6–14 per inflorescence and each is borne on a short pedicel and associated with a bract. The calyx is 1–2.5 mm long at flowering and 2–3 mm long at fruiting, deeply lobed to two-thirds or more of its length, and densely covered in short, straight, appressed (few patent), antrorse hairs. The corolla is white and 2–4 mm in diameter, with a cylindrical tube, petals that are narrowly to very broadly obovate, and flat, and white or yellow scales alternating with the petals. The anthers are mostly included, with the tips only reaching or surpassing the faucal scales. The four smooth, shiny, usually light to medium brown nutlets are 1.3–1.7 mm long by 0.9–1.2 mm wide and ovoid in shape.

*Myosotis tenericaulis* has *M. australis* type pollen.

The chromosome number of *M. tenericaulis* is unknown.

*Myosotis tenericaulis* flowers and fruits from October–March, with the main flowering period from December–February and the main fruiting period from January–March.

## Distribution and habitat

*Myosotis tenericaulis* is endemic to New Zealand, found on all three main islands (North, South and Stewart Islands), from sea level to 1160 m ASL elevation. On the North Island it is found in the ecological district of Southern North Island only, whereas on the South Island it is known from Western Nelson, Sounds-Nelson, Westland, Otago, Southland, and Fiordland*.*

*M. tenericaulis* is found in shady, wet places in grassland, shrubland or forest.

## Conservation status

The species is listed as At Risk - Naturally Uncommon in the most recent assessment (2017-2018) of the New Zealand Threatened Classification for plants. It also has the qualifiers "DP" (Data Poor), and "Sp" (Sparse).

# Piet Gerards

**Piet Gerards** (Heerlen, 29 November 1950) is a Dutch graphic designer and publisher.

## Biography

Piet Gerards studied painting at the Academy of Applied Arts in Maastricht. In 1973 he broke off his studies and started manifesting himself as a designer and printer of activist printed matter.

In the 1980s, he founded two publishing houses, Gerards & Schreurs and Uitgeverij Huis Clos. He developed as a designer of literary books, by authors such as Louis Paul Boon, Gerard Reve, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Vladislav Khodasevich, Anatol Stern and Daniil Kharms. One of the characteristics of his book designs is the varied use of typefaces. Besides the use of classic typefaces like Bembo, Baskerville, Futura, Gill Sans and Neue Helvetica, Gerards turned out to be an advocate of the new Dutch digital typefaces such as Trinité (Bram de Does), Scala (Martin Majoor), Quadraat (Fred Smeijers), Caecilia (Peter Matthias Noordzij) and Offline (Roelof Mulder).

In 1985 he was the initiator of the *Signe Arts Centre* (Kunstencentrum Signe) in his home town of Heerlen, where he organised exhibitions and multidisciplinary projects devoted to the work of Andrei Tarkovsky, Stefan and Franciszka Themerson, Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, Paul van Ostaijen and John Hejduk. He had a hand in numerous publications in the fields of visual arts, music, photography, design and history.

In the 1990s architecture became an important theme. He designed books on the work of Jo Coenen, P.J.H. Cuypers, Herman Hertzberger, Ben van Berkel, Wiel Arets and Hubert-Jan Henket for publishers such as 010, Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAi), SUN Publishing, Architectura & Natura, Birkhäuser, Lecturis and Ernst & Sohn. In 1993 his work was included in the exhibition *Grafisch ontwerp uit de Limburgen*.

In 2003 010 Publishers published the monograph *Working Title: Piet Gerards, Graphic Designer*, written by Ben van Melick. Three years later he settled in Amsterdam under the name ‘Piet Gerards Ontwerpers’. In his studio he organised a series of meetings under the name ‘25 chairs’: Marita Mathijsen, Bart Schneemann, Jan van Adrichem, Henk Hoeks, Bart Sorgedrager and Saskia Asser were some of the sixteen speakers who discussed their favourite ten books with the attendees.

He gave lectures about his work in Vienna, Raabs, Essen and Heerlen. In 2007 he initiated an exchange project between students from six Dutch art academies and twelve Romanian students from the Bucharest National University of Arts. In the academic year 2010-2011 he taught book typography at the Plantin Institute for Typography in Antwerp.

In 1993 his design of the book ‘Faces’ was acknowledged as the best designed book of the world for which he received a golden medal from Stiftung Buchkunst (German Book Art Foundation). Two years later he received the prestigious International Book Award from the American Institute of Architects for his book design ‘Berlin Nights’ from the American architect John Hejduk. As part of the ‘Best Book Design from All Over the World’ competition, organized annually by the Stiftung Buchkunst (German Book Art Foundation), a selection of his award-winning books was exhibited at the Shanghai International Book Design Arts Exhibition.

Before he decided to stop in 2018, he made an exhibition in the Province Hall Limburg: ‘Complot rond een vierkant. De goodwill-reeks van drukkerij Rosbeek 1969-2006’. Furthermore, he made exhibitions for Special Collections of the Amsterdam University Library (‘Afsetters en meester-afsetters. De kunst van het kleuren’) and for the Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam (‘25 years Huis Clos Publisher’). Now, living in Arnhem, The Netherlands, he occasionally designs under his own name. Gerards' oeuvre is included in various archives, including that of Museum Meermanno / House of the Book in The Hague.

# John Amagoalik

**John Amagoalik** OC ONu (born November 26, 1947) is an Inuit politician from Nunavik (Québec). He campaigned for Inuit rights and made a significant contribution to the founding of the Canadian territory of Nunavut. He was Chairman of the Nunavut Implementation Commission and is widely regarded as the "Father of Nunavut".

## Early life and education

Amagoalik was born on November 26, 1947, near Inukjuaq in Nunavik in northern Québec. In 1953, his family was relocated to Resolute Bay by the Canadian Government and he was educated in residential schools in Resolute Bay, Churchill and Iqaluit. However, Amagoalik stopped his formal education after grade 9 to support his father who had fallen ill with tuberculosis. His families living conditions after their forced relocation to Resolute was poor, with no vegetation or fish. Years later, Amagoalik and other relocated Inuit identifying themselves as "High Arctic exiles" petitioned for Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper to apologize for the relocation.

## Career

Amagoalik began his political career as the Baffin Regional Information Officer with the Northwest Territories territorial government from 1971 to 1974. In 1974, Amagoalik was appointed executive director of Nunavut Land Claims Project to claim Inuit land. The following year, he succeeded Tagak E.C. Curley as director of Land Claims for the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.

Amagoalik served two terms as President of the Inuit Tapiriit of Canada before becoming a political adviser to the Tungavik Federation of Nunavut. He was also a member of the Executive Council of the Inuit Circumpolar Conference from 1980 to 1983.

After the ratification of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act and Nunavut Act in 1993, Amagoalik led the land-claims settlement process with Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated. From 1993 to 1999, Amagoalik served as chair of the Nunavut Implementation Commission, which was a 10-member body that designed Nunavut's public government. He recommend Nunavut elect a "public government with democratically elected Legislative Assembly \[which\] will respect individual and collective rights as defined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms." He was given the nickname "Father of Nunavut" for his efforts in founding the Canadian territory of Nunavut.

In 2014, Amagoalik was honoured with the Order of Nunavut. He later received the Order of Canada for his “leadership in Canada’s North, notably for his integral role in the creation of Nunavut.”

title: Pierre-Georges Latécoère

abstract: Pierre-Georges Latécoère was a pioneer of aeronautics. Born in Bagnères-de-Bigorre, he studied in the École Centrale Paris and, during the First World War, started a business in aeronautics. He directed plants that made planes and opened the first airlines that operated from France to Africa and South America. Pierre-Georges Latécoère was the founder of the aeronautical industry in Toulouse. As the son of the owner of a sawmill in Bagnères-de-Bigorre in the Pyrenees, he took an early interest in technology. In 1903, after an outstanding secondary school career he began his degree at the Parisian Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures. On returning to the Pyrenees he modernized his father's firm, specializing in the manufacture of railway wagons. Thus, during the First World War, the profits from government contracts allowed him to set up a large, modern factory in the Toulouse suburb of Montaudran. Before doing so, he had also produced a rush order of 600 Salmson aircraft, which the army urgently needed. Having become an aeronautical enthusiast, he decided to create the company Société des lignes Latécoère, carrying mail from France to Morocco, Senegal and South America - the first aircraft being flown by such well-known pilots as Mermoz and Saint-Exupéry. Finally, he started manufacturing aircraft in his own name, and notably the great seaplanes such as the Latécoère 631. The Latécoère company still exists in 2024.

title: John Finch, 1st Baron Finch

text:
# John Finch, 1st Baron Finch

**John Finch, 1st Baron Finch** (17 September 1584 – 27 November 1660) was an English judge, and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1621 and 1629. He was Speaker of the House of Commons.

## Early life

Finch was the son of Sir Henry Finch of Eastwell, Kent. He was admitted to Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1596 and admitted at Gray's Inn on 5 February 1601. He was called to the bar in November 1611.

## Political career

Finch became recorder of Canterbury in 1619. In 1621, he was elected Member of Parliament for Canterbury. In his capacity as recorder, he welcomed King Charles I when he arrived at Canterbury for his marriage in Canterbury Cathedral on 13 June 1625, and Finch was knighted by the King two days later on 15 June. He became King's Counsel in 1626. He was re-elected MP for Canterbury in 1626 and 1628. In 1628 Finch was elected Speaker, a post which he retained until 1629 when Parliament was dissolved. He was held down in his chair by Holles and others on the occasion of Sir John Eliot's resolution on tonnage and poundage.

## Judicial career

In 1634, Finch was appointed chief justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and distinguished himself by the active zeal with which he upheld the king's prerogative. Notable also was the brutality which characterized his conduct as chief justice, particularly in the cases of William Prynne and John Langton.

Finch presided over the trial of John Hampden, who resisted the payment of ship money, and was chiefly responsible for the decision of the judges that ship-money was constitutional. As a reward for his services he was, in 1640, appointed Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England, and was also created **Baron Finch**, of Fordwich. He had, however, become so unpopular that one of the first acts of the Long Parliament, which met in the same year, was his impeachment. His estates were sequestrated and he took refuge in Holland. The Great Seal was passed to Edward Littleton.

When he was allowed to return to England is uncertain, but in 1660 he was one of the commissioners for the trial of the regicides, though he does not appear to have taken much part in the proceedings.

> Finch who had been accused of high treason twenty years before, by a full Parliament, and who by flying from their justice had saved his life, was appointed to judge some of those who should have been his judges; ...

He died on 27 November 1660 and was buried in St Martins church near Canterbury, his peerage becoming extinct.

# John Berne Hannum

**John Berne Hannum** (March 19, 1915 – April 23, 2007) was a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

## Education and career

Born in Chester, Pennsylvania, Hannum received a Bachelor of Laws from Dickinson School of Law (now Pennsylvania State University - Dickinson Law) in 1941. He was in private practice in Chester from 1941 to 1942, and was then a United States Naval Reserve Lieutenant during World War II, from 1942 to 1946, returning to private practice in Chester from 1946 to 1949. He was in private practice in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1949 to 1968. He was then a judge of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania from 1968 to 1969.

## Federal judicial service

On March 24, 1969, Hannum was nominated by President Richard Nixon to a seat on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania vacated by Judge Francis Lund Van Dusen. Hannum was confirmed by the United States Senate on May 5, 1969, and received his commission on May 6, 1969. He assumed senior status on May 29, 1984. Hannum served in that capacity until his death on April 23, 2007, in Unionville, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

## Notable case

A notable sentencing by Hannum was that of George Martorano. In 1984, Hannum sentenced Martorano to life in prison without parole after Martorano pleaded guilty to 19 counts of drug possession and distribution. The length of this sentence has led to criticism of Hannum's. Martorano was released in October 2015 after serving over 32 years of the longest prison term ever imposed on a first-time non-violent offender in American history.

## Personal life

Hannum was married to Nancy Penn Smith Hannum (1919–2010), a socialite and conservationist who was master of foxhounds for Stewart's Cheshire Hunt for decades. The couple lived at Brooklawn, a historic house inherited by Nancy from her stepfather, investment banker W. Plunket Stewart.

# Pigeon Run (Sullivan Branch)

**Pigeon Run** is a tributary of Sullivan Branch in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 1.3 miles (2.1 km) long and flows through Davidson Township. Its watershed has an area of 0.78 square miles (2.0 km2). The stream has a low pH and sometimes has poor water quality, although that could potentially be remedied. The main rock formations in the area are the Catskill Formation, the Huntley Mountain Formation, and the Burgoon Sandstone. The main soil associations in the vicinity of the stream are the Deep-Wellsboro-Oquaga association, the Norwich association, the Morris association, and the Oquaga association.

## Course

Pigeon Run begins in eastern Davidson Township, not far from the border between Sullivan County and Luzerne County. It flows south for some distance before entering a very steep valley. Approximately halfway down the valley, the stream turns southwest. It reaches its confluence with Sullivan Branch at the end of the valley.

## Hydrology

During average flow conditions, the discharge of Pigeon Run is 636 gallons per minute. Its pH ranges from less than 4 to over 6, but is 5.11 during average flow conditions. The concentration of aluminum in the stream is 0.219 milligrams per liter during average flow conditions.

Pigeon Run experiences chronic acidification. The stream has "fair" water quality during average flow conditions, but "very poor" water quality during high flow conditions. It requires an additional alkalinity load of 7 pounds (3.2 kg) per day to be restored to the satisfaction of the East Branch Fishing Creek Restoration Plan. Proposed methods of increasing alkalinity include vertical flow wetlands and road liming.

Pigeon Run is considered by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to be impaired by atmospheric deposition due to metals and pH.

# Pierre Pintaflour

**Pierre Pintaflour** (1502–1580) was a humanist from the Habsburg Netherlands, writing under the pen name **Thindari**, who became bishop of Tournai.

## Life

Pintaflour was born in Strazeele (castellany of Cassel) in 1502, the second son of Mathias Pintaflore and Isabeau Marasse. His grandfather had been a Sicilian mercenary in Burgundian service. He died in Tournai on 10 April 1580. He was probably educated by the Brethren of the Common Life in Bergues and then studied at Lily College, Leuven, matriculating in 1519. He graduated Master of Arts in 1524 and began to work as a tutor to wealthy students. In 1533 he became professor of philosophy at Lily College, and in 1538 graduated Licentiate of Laws. In 1539 he became professor of civil law, and on 23 January 1540 was installed as a canon of St. Peter's Church, Leuven.

Entering the service of Charles de Croÿ as a lawyer, Pintaflour resigned his university positions and moved to Brussels. He was briefly married, but as a widower he entered the clerical estate in 1550 and was appointed to the parish of Hérinnes, where in 1554 he rebuilt the presbytery. He employed a curate to minister to the parish, while he himself served as head of Charles de Croÿ's diocesan tribunal from 1554 to 1555, before being assigned to a canonry of Tournai Cathedral. In 1557 he became Dean of Tournai, and in 1565 was one of the delegates of Tournai at the provincial synod of Cambrai.

From 27 August 1566 to 3 January 1567, Tournai was dominated by iconoclast rebels. At Gilbert d'Oignies's death on 24 August 1574, Pintaflour became vicar general of the diocese of Tournai. He was later named bishop, taking possession of the see on 15 June 1575, and receiving episcopal consecration at the hands of Martin Rythovius in Kortrijk Minster on 31 July 1575. He worked with Rythovius and Remi Drieux to influence John of Austria's policy, insisting that the Pacification of Ghent was neither contrary to the teachings nor detrimental to the position of the Catholic Church. In 1578 he took an oath to support William of Orange in so far as this involved nothing contrary to the interests of the Church or the authority of the king, Philip II of Spain. Pintaflour died on 10 April 1580 and was buried on 2 May. He left bequests to fund scholarships and apprenticeships, as well as donations to the poor and to the cathedral itself.
