**William James Lynn III** (born January 1, 1954) is a former United States Deputy Secretary of Defense. Before that he was Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and a lobbyist for Raytheon.

## Life and career

Lynn was born in Key West, Florida and raised in Connecticut, graduating from New Canaan High School in June 1972. He graduated from Dartmouth College with a B.A. degree in 1976. He earned a Juris Doctor degree from Cornell Law School in 1980 and a Master of Public Affairs degree from the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University in 1982. Lynn was hired by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, where he served as executive director of the Defense Organization Project from 1982 to 1985. That last year, he and Barry Blechman published the book *Toward a More Effective Defense*. At some point, he was a senior fellow studying strategic nuclear forces and arms control at the National Defense University's Strategic Concepts Development Center, and went on to be the legislative counsel for defense and arms control matters for Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy between 1987 and 1993. During this time, he also worked as Kennedy's staff representative on the Committee on Armed Services.

Lynn later worked as an assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Budget, and in April 1993 joined the office of the Secretary of Defense (then Les Aspin) to be director for program analysis and evaluation. On October 21, 1997, President Bill Clinton nominated Lynn to be Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), and after a Senate confirmation on November 13, he was sworn in on November 19.

After leaving at the end of the Clinton Administration, Lynn became the executive vice president of the management consulting firm DFI International in 2001, but left in August 2002 when he was hired by the Raytheon Company, where he held the title senior vice president of Government Operations and Strategy.

Lynn is a member of the Atlantic Council's board of directors.

### Deputy Secretary of Defense

On January 8, 2009, President-elect Barack Obama nominated Lynn as his Deputy Secretary of Defense. This was complicated by the fact that new ethic rules promulgated by Obama for members of his administration created a waiting period of two years between lobbying activities and working for the administration on the same issues, which Lynn's work with Raytheon violated. President Obama waived the new rules for Lynn, which received criticism from John McCain as well as outside groups such as the Project on Government Oversight, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Government Accountability Project, and Public Citizen. McCain later said that the nomination should probably move forward. As nominee, Lynn agreed to sell his holdings of Raytheon stock. Lynn's appointment was approved by the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on February 5, 2009, by unanimous consent. On February 11, 2009, Lynn was confirmed in the full Senate by a vote of 93–4. He took the oath of office on February 12.

In May 2009, Lynn cautioned Congress and the Obama administration about overhauling the Pentagon's weapons-buying practices. "We need to keep in mind the importance of not making the system worse in our efforts to achieve reform," he said in testimony prepared for the House Armed Services Committee. "This has happened in the past."

Lynn told lawmakers the Pentagon would hire 20,000 new people, starting in October 2009, to manage weapons acquisition, which he called "aggressive," but necessary to bring in program managers, cost estimators, software engineers and systems engineers. "We are mindful it is going to be an organizational challenge," he said.

Pentagon leaders began an effort to save about $100 billion over five years to maintain fighting forces and to modernize weapons. In June 2010, Lynn said the goal is to find more savings within the defense budget without cutting the top-line number. Pentagon leaders are eying 2 to 3 percent real growth in the Pentagon's budget for the areas that need it most: force structure and modernization. Two-thirds of the $100 billion cost savings spread out over the next five years will come from trimming overhead on a department-wide basis. That money will be directly transferred into the force structure and modernization accounts, Lynn explained. The rest of the cost savings would come from "developing efficiencies within those force structure and modernization accounts," he added. "If we're able to reduce overhead accounts where we don't need those increases, shift it to the force structure and modernization accounts, we can get that 2 to 3 percent \[real growth\] and we can do what we think we need to do in technology refresh, modernization, protecting quality of life and all those critical factors."

Lynn warned that in order to get to the $100 billion in savings the Pentagon leaders and the military services will have to identify "lower priority programs" that are not going to be part of future budgets.

On January 6, 2011, Defense Secretary Robert Gates outlined the $100 billion over the five fiscal years (2012-16) to be spent on military capabilities, plus additional 5-year savings worth $78 billion designed to contribute to deficit reduction. These include, among other things, the consolidation of numbered air force staff, the disestablishment of JFCOM and the Second Fleet, Air Mobility Command fuel savings, multi-year procurement policies, and cancellations of hundreds of report requirements (many of them dating back to the 1950s).

In May 2011 Lynn indicated that the department is moving to balance how much it invests in counterinsurgency versus more traditional military capabilities. "I think you can decide which of those two you want to emphasize," said William Lynn. "I don't think you can eliminate either. I don't think that's possible." Lynn said the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been more difficult than had been expected, but the U.S. military must have enough troops and the right kind of training, equipment and family support for future long conflicts, which he said are still "plausible."

In July Lynn announced that he would leave DoD. "Bill Lynn has provided outstanding advice and counsel to this department and to the nation over the course of his long career," Leon Panetta said in a statement released on 7 July. "I will rely on his experience and expertise during this transition period. His service will be greatly missed." He left his office on October 5, 2011.

On January 26, 2012, DRS Technologies announced Lynn's selection to lead Finmeccanica's efforts in the U.S. and as such has been elected chairman of the board and chief executive officer of DRS Technologies.

# William Franklyn (priest)

**William Franklyn** (1460–1556) was an English churchman, who became dean of Windsor.

## Life

Franklyn was born at Bledlow, Buckinghamshire, probably about 1460, and educated at Eton College and King's College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.C.L. in 1504. He took holy orders, and in 1514 was appointed chancellor of the diocese of Durham and receiver of the bishop's revenues.

In 1515 he became archdeacon of Durham and master of the Hospital of St. Giles at Kepyer, County Durham. In this and the following years Franklyn was active in directing measures in border warfare with the Scotch. His headquarters was at Norham, and it was probably about this period that a grant of arms was made him in consideration of the recovery of the castle at that place by his prowess and policy. In February 1518 he was installed prebendary of Heydour-cum-Walton in the diocese of Lincoln, and before 1522 he was rector of Houghton-le-Spring, Durham, and held the prebend of Eveston, in the collegiate church of Lanchester, in the same county.

On Thomas Wolsey's accession to the see of Durham he confirmed Franklyn in the chancellorship, with power of appointing justices of the peace, coroners, stewards, bailiffs, and other officers; and the chancellor made himself useful to the bishop in devising plans for increasing the revenues of the diocese. He was still chancellor under Cuthbert Tunstall, Wolsey's successor at Durham, but he already enjoyed marked proofs of Wolsey's favour. He received a salaried appointment as counsellor resident with Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond, natural son of Henry VIII; was presented to the prebend of Stillington, Yorkshire, in February 1526, and in the same year became President of Queens' College, Cambridge, an office he held only a year and nine months.

His name appears in the commission formed, October 1528, to treat for peace with James V of Scotland, and he had a hand in the negotiations which led to the peace concluded 31 July 1534 at Holyrood. In May 1535 he was one of the council in the north executing the royal commission for assessing and taxing spiritual proceedings. On 17 December 1536 Franklyn was by patent appointed dean of Windsor, and in 1540 he exchanged his Lincolnshire prebend for the rectory of Chalfont St. Giles, Buckinghamshire, the parsonage attaching to which he afterwards let to John Storie.

As dean of Windsor he assisted at the christening of Edward VI and the funeral of Lady Jane Dudley, and his signature is affixed to the decree declaring the invalidity of the marriage of Henry VIII with Anne of Cleves. On 14 January 1545 he surrendered to the crown his hospital of Kepyer and most of his benefices, and he also alienated the revenues of his deanery, some temporarily, others in perpetuity. The complaints against him on this score were so loud that after the accession of Edward VI he was compelled to resign. He retired to Chalfont St. Giles, where he died in January 1556, and was buried in the church. His will met with disapproval, for a grant was made to one J. Glynne of so much as he could recover of goods, chattels, and money, devised by Franklyn for superstitious purposes. A large number of letters addressed by Franklyn to Wolsey, Thomas Cromwell, and others were preserved, in the Public Record Office and the British Museum.

# William Joynier

**Sir** **William Joynier** was a rich 13th-century merchant and Sheriff of the City of London who served as Mayor of London from 1239 to 1240.

## Biography

In 1204 Joynier was instructed to investigate the condition of Newgate Prison and Holborn Bridge and authorise repairs. He was able to make loans to Henry III from a young age. From 1219 Joynier supplied the royal household with luxury goods and built an extensive trading network that extended from Scotland and Ireland to Poitou.

Joynier was made Sheriff of the City of London in 1223. He was subsequently elected to serve as 12th Mayor of London between 1239 and 1240.

Joynier's relationship with the monarch was not always an easy one. The fine rolls of Henry III for 1224 contain an order for Joynier's arrest in order to recover possessions given to Joynier by the disgraced Falkes de Breauté. Joynier had a more serious conflict with Henry in 1239 when, whilst serving as Mayor, he defended the city's privileges and refused to admit Simon FitzMary, appointed by the king without election. However, these incidents did not deter Joynier's trade with the royal household or relationship with the court. Joynier supplied wine to the king in 1241 and was appointed as one of the custodians of the royal treasure in the Tower of London in 1242.

Apart from banking and trade, Joynier also had income from estates in Middlesex and Cambridgeshire. He also had a number of tenements in the city in Cheapside, All Hallows Honey Lane and St. Mary Magdalen, Milk Street

Joynier used some of his wealth to pay for the entire construction of the Greyfriars chapel and contributed two hundred pounds towards construction of other monastic buildings on the site in Saint Nicholas in the Shambles. Joynier's support for the Friars spanned the latter two decades of his life.

Joynier died in about 1248.

title: William Morton (footballer)

abstract: William Morton was an English footballer who played as a centre forward. Most likely born in Northumberland, he played the majority of his career in local-league football but also had spells in The Football League. Morton played for Bedlington P.M. and Newbiggin West End before joining Third Division North side Durham City in 1927. However, he was unable to break into the first-team and did not make a senior appearance for the club. He left Durham the following year and returned to non-League football with Craghead United. In January 1929, Morton was signed by Third Division North outfit Nelson, initially as an amateur. He scored twice on his debut in the 4–1 win against Stockport County on 22 January and was awarded a professional contract the following month. He went on to score three goals in eight League appearances for Nelson, but he was unable to displace Bernard Radford as the club's first-choice centre forward, and was not retained at the end of the 1928–29 season. For the 1929–30 campaign, Morton returned to the North East with Craghead United, and later had spells with Bedlington United and Blyth Spartans. In November 1930, he transferred to Third Division South club Queens Park Rangers but he did not play any League matches for the London-based outfit. His stay at QPR was brief, and he re-joined Craghead United for a third time in January 1931. Morton then spent the 1932–33 season with former League club Ashington before moving in June 1933 to Stakeford Albion, where he ended his career.

text:
# William King Tweedie

**William King Tweedie** (1803–1863) was an historian, biographer and a minister of the Free Church of Scotland Tolbooth Church, Edinburgh.

## Life

He was born in Ayr on 8 May 1803 to John Tweedie and Janet King. His parents moved to Buenos Aires in South America while William was young and he was left in the care of an aunt in Maybole. He never saw his parents again, and was effectively abandoned.

He studied Divinity at Edinburgh, Glasgow and St Andrews University. He was licensed to preach as a minister of the Church of Scotland by the Presbytery of Arbroath in 1828.

He was ordained as minister of the Scots Church at London Wall in 1832. In 1836, Tweedie was appointed minister of Aberdeen South Parish and later in 1842, the Tolbooth Church in Edinburgh, replacing Rev. Thomas Randall Davidson. The Tolbooth Church, designed by James Gillespie Graham and Pugin, had recently been completed. He left the established church in the Disruption of 1843 and was thereafter a minister of the Free Church of Scotland.

Leaving with a large portion of the Tolbooth parish congregation, they purchased the pre-existing Secession Church on Infirmary Street. He lived at 50 George Square, Edinburgh.

From 1848 to 1862, he was Convenor of the Foreign Mission Committee of the Free Church. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity by St Andrews University in 1852.

He moved to 3 Fingal Place in the Grange around 1845 but returned to George Square in later life.

The church sold the Infirmary Street church in 1851 and used temporary accommodation until a new church was built circa 1855: a very modest hall on the rear garden of an unfinished Georgian house on the north side of St Andrew Square.

He died at 15 George Square, Edinburgh on 24 March 1863. He was buried in the Grange Cemetery in south Edinburgh. The grave lies on the outer north wall.

## Family

On 11 May 1835, he married Margaret Bell (1803-3 March 1885) in London. She was daughter of Hugh Bell, of Old Garphar, Straiton, Ayrshire, and had five children.

Their children included:

* Major General William Tweedie of Lettrick (31 October 1836 - 18 September 1914). Major-General, C.S.I., served in Indian Mutiny Sepoy mutiny, held numerous military and political appointments in India, Political Resident in Turkish Arabia, and H.M. Consul-General at Baghdad.

# William Perehudoff

**William Perehudoff** CM SOM RCA (April 21, 1918 – February 26, 2013) was a Canadian artist closely associated with colour field painting. He was married to the landscape painter Dorothy Knowles.

## Life and career

Perehudoff was born in St. Paul's Hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on April 21, 1918, and was raised on a farm in the Doukhobor community of Bogdanovka (Google Map), between the towns of Langham and Borden, Saskatchewan. His formal education ended at grade eleven, but he pursued art studies with French artist Jean Chariot at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, Colorado (1948–49), with Amédée Ozenfant at the Ozenfant School of Fine Arts, New York, New York (1949–50) and through the Emma Lake Artist's Workshops (various years, 1957 to 1990), where he became acquainted with teachers Kenneth Noland and Jules Olitski. It was at one of these workshops in 1962 that he met New York art critic Clement Greenberg, who introduced him to Post-painterly Abstraction, which had an enormous impact upon his art and career.

Perehudoff became acquainted with Jack Bush at the suggestion of Kenneth Noland in the mid 1960s. He regularly visited Bush thereafter and felt an affinity for the way Bush worked in commercial art to support his family, as did Perehudoff.

Perehudoff's work has been represented in numerous public and private collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, Remai Modern in Saskatoon, the Canada Council Art Bank, the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Art.

In 1994, he was awarded the Saskatchewan Order of Merit, and in 1999, he was inducted as a Member of the Order of Canada. He was made a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Due to failing eyesight, Perehudoff gave up painting around 2003-2004.

In November 2009, several of Perehudoff's murals were successfully removed from the executive suite in the former Intercontinental Packers plant. Perehudoff painted them in 1950, and the abstract silhouettes are considered the last remaining examples of purist cubist art from that period. Appraised at 250,000, the murals had been at risk as the plant was slated for demolition. Ian Hodkinson, a retired art conservator, was brought in and used a special method to remove the acrylic paint from the plaster intact. The murals remained in storage until the Remai Modern was completed in 2017. They are now displayed in a special antechamber, built to the same dimensions as the boardroom in which they first existed. In 2010, a travelling retrospective titled *The Optimism of Colour: William Perehudoff* was curated by Karen Wilkin for Saskatoon’s Mendel Art Gallery.

Perehudoff died on February 26, 2013, at age 94.

# William the Trouvère

**William** ( **Adgar**; fl.1150–1200), later called **William the Trouvère**, was an English poet. He translated tales from the Latin *Miracles of the Virgin* into Anglo-Norman verse.

## Works

William was first called Adgar but became more commonly known as William. Working at the instance of one Gregory, his friend, he translated over forty tales into octosyllabic Anglo-Norman verse, from the Latin collection of *Miracles of the Virgin* which he found in the *almarie* or bookcase of St. Paul's. His collection of some forty-nine tales, entitled *Gracial*, was dedicated to one Maud, "dame Mahaut", most likely the abbess of Barking (c.1175–1195) who was a bastard of Henry II.

(See Anderson's note below). Veitch was liberated on 17 July 1680, and returned to Newcastle. He aided Archibald, Earl of Argyll, in his escape from Scotland in 1681. In 1683 he went to Holland, and in 1685 he was again in Northumberland acting as an agent on behalf of Monmouth. Soon afterwards he was settled as minister of a meeting-house at Beverley, Yorkshire.

His death was on 8 May 1722. In 1705 he presented to the church two communion cups.

## Life

William Veitch (1640–1722) was a covenanter. He was the younger son of John Veitch, the minister of Roberton, Lanarkshire, and was born on 27 April 1640. He studied at the University of Glasgow, where he graduated with an M.A. in 1659. In 1660 he became tutor to the family of Sir Andrew Ker of Greenhead at the University of Edinburgh. About 1664 he took license as a preacher and joined the presbyterians; but, being forfeited in 1667 for having been at Mauchline and the Pentlands, he escaped to England, where he lived under the name of **Johnson**. For some time he was chaplain to the wife of the mayor of Newcastle; and, after preaching in London and other places, he was in 1671 ordained minister of a meeting-house at Faldlees and afterwards at Hanamhall in the parish of Rothbury, Northumberland, whence four years afterwards he removed to Seaton Hall in the parish of Longhorsly. On 16 January 1679 he was apprehended, while living there under the name of Johnson, but having been on 22 February sisted before the committee of public affairs in Edinburgh, he was sent to imprisonment on the Bass Rock.

## The Bass Rock

James Anderson in his "Martyrs of the Bass" casts doubt that the sentence was executed. He says:

> "With respect to Mr William Veitch, although the Privy Council, on the 25th of February 1679, "approved the report of the Committee for Public Affairs that he be sent to the Bass," and, on the 11th of March, appointed him to be conveyed to that prison, yet this act was not executed; for, in an order of the 18th of that month, requiring the King's Advocate to proceed against him before the Justiciary Court, he is represented as "prisoner in the tolbooth of Edinburgh."(Wodrow's History, vol. iii. pp. 7, 8.) Had Veitch been a prisoner in the Bass, such a fact would undoubtedly have been recorded in his Memoirs of Himself, in which he describes so minutely the public sufferings he endured in the cause of Presbytery. But in that document, no reference to any such thing is to be found."

## Later life

On 17 July following, he was, however, at liberty, and returned to Northumberland. When in December 1681 the Earl of Argyll escaped from prison, Veitch not only sheltered him in his house, but, being an adept in the shifts of a fugitive from justice, conducted him safely to London. Veitch had soon afterwards to make his own escape to Holland (in 1683), but during the Monmouth rising of 1685 was sent to Northumberland to foment an outbreak there. The Argyll fiasco put an end to the project; and, after remaining for some time in hiding under various names, Veitch became minister of a meeting-house at Beverley, Yorkshire, where he remained six or seven months. Returning to Scotland, he was called to the parish of Whitton Chapel in the presbytery of Kelso, where he was admitted in April 1688. In 1690 he was translated to Peebles, and in 1694 to Dumfries. He demitted his charge on 8 December 1714, and died on 8 May 1722.

## Family

William's father John and brothers James and John were also ministers. His wife, Marion Fairlie of the house of Braid, was author of a diary which was published by the Free Church of Scotland in 1846. She died a day after her husband, and was buried in the same grave. By her Veitch had five sons and five daughters. The second son, Samuel, who adopted the spelling Vetch. He married 23 November 1664, Marion Fairley, of the family of Braid, Edinburgh \[vide Diary of Marion Fairley (Edinburgh, 1846)\]. She died the day before (Scott says the day after) her husband, and was buried in the same grave within the church of Dumfries. They had issue —

* William, educated at Utrecht, entered the army of the Prince of Orange, captain in the Darien Expedition, died at sea, off Port Royal, Jamaica, 1699 ;
* Samuel (who adopted the spelling Vetch for his surname), first Governor of Nova Scotia, born 1668, died 30 April 1732;

# 1760 Sandra

**1760 Sandra**, provisional designation 1950 GB, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 35 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 10 April 1950, by South African astronomer Ernest Johnson at Union Observatory in Johannesburg, and named after his granddaughter Sandra.

## Orbit and classification

*Sandra* is a carbonaceous C-type asteroid that orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.7–3.6 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,041 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.13 and an inclination of 8 with respect to the ecliptic. It was first identified as 1934 NP at the discovering observatory. The body's observation arc begins with its identification as 1935 QH at Heidelberg in 1935, or 15 years prior to its official discovery observation at Johannesburg.

## Lightcurve

In April 2006, a rotational lightcurve of *Sandra* was obtained from photometric observations by French amateur astronomer Pierre Antonini. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of 6.5668 hours with a brightness variation of 0.42 magnitude (U=3).

## Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite, and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, *Sandra* measures between 33.989 and 37.71 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.034 and 0.054. The *Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link* derives an albedo of 0.0542 and a diameter of 36.03 kilometers with on an absolute magnitude of 11.0.

## Naming

This minor planet was named by the South African discover Ernest Johnson after his granddaughter Sandra. The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 20 February 1976 (M.P.C. 3934).

In 1913, Minnesota legislators began to be elected on nonpartisan ballots. Nonpartisanship also was an historical accident that occurred in the 1913 session when a bill to provide for no party elections of judges and city and county officers was amended to include the Legislature in the belief that it would kill the bill. Legislators ran and caucused as "Liberals" or "Conservatives" roughly equivalent in most years to Democratic-Farmer-Labor and Republican, respectively. The law was changed in 1973, in 1976, Senate members again ran with party designation.

# William Locke Brockman

**William Locke Brockman** (1802 – 28 November 1872) was an early settler in Western Australia, who became a pastoralist and stock breeder, and a Member of the Western Australian Legislative Council.

## Biography

Born in Kent, England, in 1802, William Locke Brockman was a member of the Brockman family, a Kent family with a history dating back to the 14th century. Little is known of his early life, except that he was a farmer with land in the Romney Marsh area. In 1827, Brockman married Ann Francis Elizabeth Hamersley (1809–1876). They had six sons and three daughters.

In 1829, Brockman, with his wife and eldest son Edmund, emigrated to the Swan River Colony in Western Australia. They arrived on *Minstrel* in January 1830. Brockman brought with him a prefabricated house, seven servants, and a number of sheep. Under the colony's system of land grants, this entitled him to a grant of over 81 km2 (20,000 acres). He was the ninth person to be granted land in the colony.

He established himself as a pastoralist and wheat grower in the Upper Swan district. He named his grant *Herne Hill*, and this name survives today as the name of the Perth suburb of Herne Hill. He was a foundation member of the Swan Agricultural Society in 1831, and in 1833 became a justice of the peace. In 1837, he constructed a mill on his property. His success as a farmer prompted his wife's brother Edward Hamersley to immigrate. Hamersley arrived with his wife and son Edward in February 1837. He ultimately became a successful and wealthy pastoralist, and a member of the Western Australian Legislative Council, and the Hamersley family became one of the most prominent families in the colony.

In 1839, he was nominated to the Western Australian Legislative Council, but he resigned the following year. From around 1845, he began exporting horses to India. He later acquired land near Northam, and was the first person to take up land in what is now the Shire of Bindoon. For this reason, the Brockman River, which flows through the Bindoon Shire, was named after him. Local Aboriginal people showed him the land around Gingin and because it had permanent water, he took up land there in 1841. He called the property *Cheriton* after the parish of his father, the Reverend Julius Drake-Brockman. A water-powered mill was built over the Gingin Brook by Alfred Carson, and wheat was milled into flour, helping relieve the colony's dependence on imported flour. Due to favourable soils, the property became the principal source of citrus fruit for Perth, and was especially known for what came to be called Cheriton oranges. It is thought that he had sourced the seeds in the Canary Islands.

In the 1860s, he became involved in the public push for representative government. Eventually, the Governor of Western Australia agreed to hold informal Legislative Council elections, on the understanding that he would nominate those elected. In the informal election of May 1867, he was elected for Guildford, and was accordingly nominated to the council. He held the nominative seat until July 1870, when the council became formally elective. He contested the seat of Swan in the subsequent election, but was defeated by Thomas Courthope Gull. Two years later he contested the seat again, this time defeating Gull. He held the seat until his death at Herne Hill on 28 November 1872.

Two of his sons, Henry and Edmund Ralph, became farmers in the colony and Members of the Legislative Council.

title: Septimus Winner

abstract: Septimus Winner was an American songwriter of the 19th century. He used his own name, and also the pseudonyms Alice Hawthorne, Percy Guyer, Mark Mason, Apsley Street, and Paul Stenton. He was also a teacher, performer, and music publisher.

text:
# Septimus Winner

**Septimus Winner** (May 11, 1827 – November 22, 1905) was an American songwriter of the 19th century. He used his own name, and also the pseudonyms **Alice Hawthorne**, **Percy Guyer**, **Mark Mason**, **Apsley Street**, and **Paul Stenton**. He was also a teacher, performer, and music publisher.

## Biography

Winner was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the seventh child to Joseph E. Winner (an instrument maker specializing in violins) and wife Mary Ann. Mary Ann Winner was a relative of Nathaniel Hawthorne, hence Septimus' use of the Hawthorne name as part of his pseudonym Alice Hawthorne.

Winner attended Philadelphia Central High School. Although largely self-taught in the area of music, he did take lessons from Leopold Meignen around 1853, but by that time he was already an established instrumental teacher, and performed locally with various ensembles.

From around 1845 to 1854, Septimus Winner partnered with his brother Joseph Eastburn Winner (1837–1918) as music publishers. Septimus continued in the business with various partners and names until 1902.

Winner was especially popular for his ballads published under the pseudonym of Alice Hawthorne, which became known generically as "Hawthorne's Ballads". His brother was also a composer, publishing under the alias Eastburn. Septimus Winner was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970.

In addition to composing popular songs, Winner also produced more than 200 instruction method books for more than twenty-three instruments. He wrote more than 1,500 easy arrangements for various instruments and almost 2,000 arrangements for violin and piano.

## Songs

In 1855, Winner published the song "Listen to the Mockingbird" under the Alice Hawthorne name. He had arranged and added words to a tune by local singer/guitarist Richard Milburn, an employee, whom he credited. Later he sold the rights, reputedly for five dollars, and subsequent publications omitted Milburn's name from the credits. The song was indeed a winner, selling about 15 million copies in the United States alone.

Another of his successes, and still familiar, is "Der Deitcher's Dog", or "Oh Where, oh Where Ish Mine Little Dog Gone", a text that Winner set to the German folk tune "In Lauterbach hab' ich mein' Strumpf verlor'n" in 1864, which recorded massive sales during Winner's lifetime.

The first verse of "Der Deitcher's Dog" is particularly noteworthy as its first verse has become a popular nursery rhyme:

> Oh, where, oh, where has my little dog gone?
> Oh, where, oh, where can he be?
> With his ears cut short, and his tail cut long,
> Oh, where, oh, where can he be?

Modern versions occasionally change "cut" to "so".

The original song is written in German dialect Pennsylvania "Dutch"), and subsequent verses praise lager, but lament the fact that "mit no money", drinking it is not possible, and praise sausages and thence to speculate on the fate of the missing dog:

> Dey makes un mit dog und dey makes em mit horse,
> I guess dey makes em mit he

Another of Winner's best-remembered songs, "Ten Little Injuns", was originally published in 1864. This was adapted, possibly by Frank J. Green in 1868 as "Ten Little Niggers" and became a standard of the blackface minstrel shows. It was sung by Christy's Minstrels and became widely known in Europe, where it was used by Agatha Christie in her 1939 novel *And Then There Were None*, about 10 killings on a remote island. In 2005, film historian Richard Finegan identified Winner as the composer of The Three Stooges song "Swingin' the Alphabet" featured in their 1938 film *Violent Is the Word for Curly*. Winner had originally published it in 1875 as "The Spelling Bee".

In 1862, Winner was court-martialed and briefly jailed, accused of treason, because he wrote and published a song entitled "Give Us Back Our Old Commander: Little Mac, the People's Pride". It concerned General George B. McClellan, whom President Abraham Lincoln had just fired from the command of the Army of the Potomac. McClellan was a popular man, and his supporters bought more than 80,000 copies of the song in its first two days of publication. He was released from arrest after promising to destroy all of the remaining copies. Shortly after his release, he wrote, "Oh Where, oh Where Ish Mine Little Dog Gone". The song reappeared in 1864 when McClellan was a presidential candidate. In 1880, the words were rewritten as a campaign ditty on behalf of Ulysses S. Grant.

Winner's 1865 love song of the American Civil War, *Sweet Ellie Rhee* (or "Carry Me Back to Tennessee"), is widely considered to have been introduced to South Africa by Americans working in the Transvaal gold mines, and to have greatly influenced the well-known Afrikaans song Sarie Marais.

> Sweet Ellie Rhee, so dear to me
> Is lost forever more
> Our home was down in Tennessee
> Before this cruel war
> Then carry me back to Tennessee
> Back where I long to be
> Amid the fields of yellow corn
> To my darling Ellie Rhee

## Personal life

Artist Margaret F. Winner was his youngest daughter.

### Songs

The most popular Septimus Winner songs include:

* "How Sweet Are the Roses" (1850)
* "I Set My Heart Upon a Flower" (1854)
* "What Is Home Without a Mother" (1854)
* "Listen to the Mockingbird" (1855)

This is a concept album based on the Protests of 1968; its story-line is about a 30-year-old white-collar worker who chooses to join in the riots after listening to a song about the events of May 1968 in France.

* *Introduzione* and *Canzone del Maggio* set the scene, stimulating the protagonist's desire to join the protests.
* In *La bomba in testa*, he daydreams about building a bomb.
* In *Al ballo mascherato*, he attends a masquerade ball, whose attendees are all dressed up as famous characters from literature, history, movies, comics and even from the Bible. The song is intended as a satire of fame and celebrity.
* *Sogno numero due* is a spoken word piece, where the protagonist imagines being judged in a courtroom by an all-powerful judge, who is the ultimate symbol of power. Notably, De André never recorded a *Sogno numero uno* (i.e. "Dream number one"), although *Sogno n° 1* was used as a title for a 2011 posthumous tribute album by conductor Geoff Westley.
* In *Canzone del padre*, the dream goes on and the singer imagines himself as his own father, which points out to the protagonist the vacuity of his current life, and further heightens his desire for revenge.
* In *Il bombarolo*, the protagonist actually builds and plants his bomb; however, in the last verse (where De André suddenly switches from first-person to third-person narrative), the bomb accidentally blows up a newsstand instead of the intended target, and the protagonist is imprisoned.
* *Verranno a chiederti del nostro amore* is a love song; the protagonist, now behind bars, reassures his woman that his love for her will never end. As the only song in the album which is not actually connected to the overarching story and functions well on its own, it became a hit and De André continued performing it live during his later years, independently from the album.
* In *Nella mia ora di libertà*, the protagonist talks about his life in prison; he recounts the trials he underwent and comes to the realization that collective struggle is more effective than what he could accomplish by himself, so he and his inmates rebel to the prison authorities and lock up their wardens. The lyrical tone of this song is notably more lightweight than the rest of the album.

# Strawberry vein banding virus

***Strawberry vein banding virus* (SVBV)** is a plant pathogenic virus and a member of the family *Caulimoviridae*.

## History

Strawberry vein banding virus (SVBV) was first described by Frazier (1955) after differential aphid transmission to susceptible wild strawberries. He described disease symptomatology, identified wild strawberry plants as suitable virus indicators, and demonstrated virus transmission by various aphids, dodder (Cuscuta subinclusa), and grafting. Virus-vector interactions (i.e., specificity of aphid species, acquisition access and retention times, semi-persistent manner of transmission, and transmission efficiency), and the inability to transmit the virus via sap were established by Frazier (1955). Similar studies focusing on aphid vectors of SVBV and symptomatology were used as the basis for naming the virus (Prentice, 1952; Schöniger, 1958; Frazier and Posnette, 1958; Frazier, 1960; Mellor and Forbes, 1960; Miller and Frazier, 1970; Frazier and Converse, 1980).

Stenger et al. (1988) purified and cloned the SVBV genome (pSVBV-E3). By the techniques available at that time, Stenger and coworkers were unable to demonstrate the infectivity of the clone. Rub-inoculation of the excised SVBV DNA, as a linear monomer or self-ligated circular genome, failed to result in infection. In contrast, parallel control experiments demonstrated that a clone of CaMV was infectious to turnip after mechanical inoculation (Al-Kaff and Covey, 1994; Stenger et al., 1988).

The infectivity of the cloned SVBV genome in pSVBV-E3 and completion of Koch’s postulates for SVBV was accomplished by particle-gun bombardment of UC-5 strawberry plants with gold particles coated with the viral DNA (Mahmoudpour, 2000, 2003). However, with this method of inoculation was inefficient (15-20% infection). Agroinoculation proved to be a far more efficient inoculation procedure (100% infection) as demonstrated by Mahmoudpour (2000, 2003).

## Hosts and symptoms

Strawberry vein banding virus (SVBV) presents itself through symptomatic yellow banding along primary and secondary veins. The streaking is inconsistent along the length of the veins. The veining appears first on the newest growth. Other symptoms include wavy leaf margins, epinastic growth of midribs and petioles, and the laminae of the leaf may become uneven. As the plant continues to grow, symptoms will be scattered in their presence on new leaves. Some leaves will appear asymptomatic, others will appear more severe in their symptoms.

Commercial strawberries do not present distinct diagnostic symptoms. Stunting, reduced yield, and loss of vigor can be indicative that a commercial cultivar has SVBV. It is common that there are other viruses present in the plant, SVBV rarely presents itself alone. SVBV in combination with strawberry latent C disease can start out reducing yield by 17%, but by the 3rd year of the crop, total salable fruit can be completely eliminated.

*Fragaria* (strawberry), *Fragaria ananassa* (strawberry), and *Fragaria vesca* (wild strawberry) are the only plants known to get SVBV, with the main host being the wild strawberry.

## Disease cycle

*Chaetosiphon fragaefolii, C. jacobi, C. thomasi,* are the most common aphid vectors for SVBV and other strawberry viruses, affecting production systems worldwide. These aphids inflict damage on strawberries by consuming infected plant sap, which allows the virus to be taken up and retained in the aphid's stylet. SVBV is semi-persistent, meaning that after feeding on an infected plant, the virus remains in the stylet persisting for anywhere from 1–4 days. Within that timeframe, the aphid can infect any other strawberry plant it feeds on. The aphid mechanically inoculates the strawberry with SVBV when it feeds, its stylet punctures the plant's cells, directly injecting the virus into the cell through its infected saliva. Now inside the cell, the SVBV's double stranded viral DNA will be transcribed inside the nucleus by RNA polymerase II. It will then exit the nuclear pores and be re-transcribed from RNA to the newly replicated viral dsDNA in the cytoplasm.  Once multiplied within the original cell infected, the virus will travel cell-to-cell via plasmodesmata, and continue to spread.

## Management

At present, there are no control methods that prove effective for SVBV. What seems to be the most promising is using certified planting material, as it can be eliminated from plants via meristem tip culture.

Considering an individual aphid has the potential to create a new clonal population in only a few  days, cultural management of strawberry fields is critical to prevent infection. Aphid populations  have been shown to be less dense in fields that use insecticides and fungicides, however it is suggested that the use of resistant cultivars is better at managing aphid density. Reducing the use of insecticides and insecticidal soaps ensures that honey bees and pollinators are not adversely affected as well.

## Plot

Sara and Callie are walking through New York City's West Village very late at night, when they share their first kisses. This leads to a vicious attack by an angry bystander, in which Sara is horribly injured. She falls into a coma, which becomes one of the major subjects of the play. George, Callie's good friend, tries to help with the situation, but there is little he can do. Peter, Sara's ex-boyfriend from St. Louis, comes to help nurse her back to health. Throughout *Stop Kiss*, relationships are explored, formed, and even ended. Diana Son elaborates on the depths of human emotion and compassion in this play.

The story is told out of chronological order: alternating scenes take place respectively before and after the assault, which is not shown onstage.
