# WHO Drug Dictionary

The **WHODrug Dictionary** is an international classification of medicines created by the WHO Programme for International Drug Monitoring and managed by the Uppsala Monitoring Centre.

It is used by pharmaceutical companies, clinical trial organizations and drug regulatory authorities for identifying drug names in spontaneous ADR reporting (and pharmacovigilance) and in clinical trials. Created in 1968 and regularly updated, since 2005 there have been major developments in the form of a WHO Drug Dictionary Enhanced (with considerably more fields and data entries) and a WHO Herbal Dictionary, which covers traditional and herbal medicines. Since 2016 all of the WHODrug products have been available in a single subscription service called WHODrug Global.

Organization WHODrug drug code consist of 11 characters (alphanumeric code). It has 3 parts: Drug Record Number(Drug Rec No), Sequence number 1(Seq1) and Sequence number 2 (Seq2). Drug Rec No consists of 6 characters. It uniquely identifies active moieties, regardless of salt form or plant part and extract. Seq1 is used to uniquely identify different variations (e.g. salts and esters), plant parts and extraction methods, thereby defining active substances or a combination of active substances. WHODrug records sharing the same Drug Rec No and Seq1 contain the same variation/plant part/extract variation of the same active moiety. For single-ingredient records, Seq1=01 identifies a specific active moiety. If Seq1 is higher than 01 it refers to variations of that active moiety. For multi-ingredient records, Seq1=01 identifies a combination of active moieties. If Seq1 is higher than 01 it refers to variations of one or more of the active moieties in the combination. Finally, Seq2 uniquely identifies the name of the record in WHODrug.

Example The Drug Code for the substance Ibuprofen is 001092 01 001. The Drug Code for the trade name Advil infants pain & fever relief is 001092 01 A3D.

## Relationship to Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System

WHODrug records are classified with at least one code from Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System (including the HATC which stands for Herbal ATC and which is treated as part of ATC for mapping purposes). Preferably, a fourth level ATC code is assigned. ATC assignments in WHODrug are marked as 'official' or 'UMC-assigned'. Official ATC codes are classifications included in the official ATC index, while UMC-assigned ATC codes are classifications NOT included in the official ATC index.

In addition, a separate cross reference called "Cross Reference ATC 5". In this additional reference, WHODrug records are matched to fifth level ATC codes where applicable.

## Formats

WHODrug is offered in Four formats (called B3 and C3). B3 format is brief while C3 format contains additional columns on top of B3 format.

## Dictionary Versions

## Standardised Drug Groupings

WHODrug concepts can be organized into groups. Standardised Drug Groupings (SDGs) define groups of drugs. For example, diuretics, corticosteroids, drugs used in diabetes. Groups are also defined based on interaction, for example, drugs interacting with CYP2C8 or drugs interacting with UGT. R,Lee

# Xtra Heat

**Xtra Heat** (March 3, 1998—December 2022) was an American Thoroughbred Champion racehorse and broodmare. Despite competing almost exclusively at sprint distances, she was named American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly at the Eclipse Awards for 2001. She was inducted into the National Museum of Racing & Hall of Fame in 2015.

## Background

Xtra Heat was a bay mare bred in Kentucky by Pope McLean. She was by far the most successful horse sired by the Louisiana Derby winner Dixieland Heat. During her racing career she was owned by Kenneth Taylor, Harry Deitchman, and her trainer, John Salzman, Sr.

## Racing career

In 2001, Xtra Heat set a new track record for six furlongs at Pimlico Race Course. Although she ran second by a neck in the 2001 Breeders' Cup Sprint to winner Squirtle Squirt, her performances that year earned Xtra Heat the Eclipse Award as American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly.

Xtra Heat was retired after campaigning in 2003, having won 26 of her 35 lifetime starts and with earnings in excess of 2.3 million.

On November 3, 2002, following the Breeders' Cup, Xtra Heat was auctioned at the Fasig-Tipton November Select Sale. She failed to sell when bidding "stalled" at $1.7 million and was returned to her owners. But on November 5, 2002, it was announced that the ClassicStar partnership (consisting of S. David Plummer, Tony Ferguson, Thom Robinson, and John Parrot) purchased Xtra Heat privately. The price was not disclosed.

## Breeding career

Xtra Heat produced 14 foals, 12 of which have raced. Among her successful foals are the Gone West-sired Southwestern Heat, winner of the Sonny Hine Stakes at Laurel, and the Elusive Quality-sired Elusive Heat, who won a restricted stakes race at Saratoga.

## Death

In March 2023 Woodford Thoroughbreds announced that Xtra Heat died the previous December at the age of 24.

# Mary Balch's School

**Mary Balch's School**, also known as the **Polly Balch School** or just the **Balch School**, was an 18th-century private, all-girls school in Providence, Rhode Island. It is most known for its students' style of needlepoint samplers. The school was started together by mother and daughter, Sarah and Mary Balch.

## Mary Balch

Mary "Polly" Balch was born in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1762. She was the second child of Timothy Balch, a tailor, and Sarah Rogers Balch. At the start of the British occupation of Newport in 1776 during the American Revolution, Balch and her family moved from Newport to Providence, Rhode Island. Within a year, her father died, leaving her mother with four children. Balch likely began teaching in 1782 to help support the family.

## History

Sometime before 1785, Mary and Sarah Balch opened a school together in Providence using their knowledge on needlepoint samplers from their hometown of Newport. The earliest sampler traced back to the school is dated from March, 1785. Eventually, Mary Balch took over operation of the school from her mother.

On August 10, 1801, Mary Balch expanded the school by opening a boarding school on George Street. The new curriculum included subjects outside of needlework, included writing, music, and dancing. In 1821, 113 students were enrolled, making the Balch School the highest-attended private school in Providence.

Mary Balch continued to work at the school until her death. She died on January 3, 1831, at the age 69. Her tombstone mentions that she was the "1st to establish a female Academy in Providence." After her death, the school was run by one of Balch's previous assistants, Miss Walker.

## Style of embroidery work

Sometimes considered "playful", the Balch style of embroidery often included figures in elegant clothes and naturalistic florals in borders or on arches. Betty Ring named the Balch's style of work the "frolicking people" style, which can be contrasted with the more formal English style used by other instructors from Newport around the same time. One common motif from the school is a depiction of a pseudo-classical arch along with multiple figures.

Many of the samplers included a public building as a focal point. This style of using real buildings as a focal point in samplers was thought to have originated at the school. Balch's students depicted buildings in Providence, including churches and statehouses.

One of the most popular sayings included in the school's works was "Let Virtue be a Guide to thee." Mourning embroideries done on silk were also completed at the school. A feature of Balch's style of mourning embroideries included using stitching instead of ink for the details on memorial monuments.

## Legacy

The original school building is now demolished.

Samplers created at the school were the first in the United States to be recognized as having a distinctive embroidery style coming from a specific school. Balch herself became one of the most well-known teachers of needlework from the 18th century. According to Joseph K. Ott, in modern times, the Balch School "produced the highest number of embroideries that can be attributed to a single source."

Samplers from the school have been sold for over $100,000 at auctions. In 1987, a sampler from the Balch School was sold for $192,500; the sampler was created by 11-year-old Eliza Waterman in 1788.

## History

### WHBG and WMBS

The Department of Commerce granted John S. Skane a license for a new station, WHBG, on February 20, 1925. It had studios at 2810 North Fourth Street in Harrisburg, transmitting on 1300 kHz. In late 1926, ownership was transferred to Macks Battery Service, and the call sign was changed to WMBS. As of December 31, 1926, the station was reported to be operating on a self-assigned frequency of 833 kHz.

Following the formation of the Federal Radio Commission (FRC), the new regulators issued a series of temporary authorizations beginning on May 3, 1927, with WMBS assigned to 820 kHz. That was changed on June 1, 1927, to 1280 kHz. Stations were also informed that if they wanted to continue operating, they needed to file a formal license application by January 15, 1928, as the first step in determining whether they met the new "public interest, convenience, or necessity" standard. On May 25, 1928, the FRC issued General Order 32, which notified 164 stations, including WMBS, that "From an examination of your application for future license it does not find that public interest, convenience, or necessity would be served by granting it." However, the station successfully convinced the commission that it should remain licensed.

On November 11, 1928, the FRC implemented a major reallocation of station transmitting frequencies, as part of a reorganization resulting from its implementation of General Order 40. WMBS was assigned to 1430 kHz, sharing this frequency with WKBN in Youngstown, Ohio. On October 19, 1928, the FRC granted Mack's Battery Company a construction permit to move the station to 1430 kHz, followed by a new license for operation on the new frequency on January 31, 1929. WMBS was required to share 1430 kHz with WBAK and hence it could not be a full-time station.

### WHP

The station's license was transferred by the FRC to Pennsylvania Broadcasting Company effective March 22, 1929, accompanied by a change in call sign to WHP. On December 1, 1930, the FRC granted another transfer of the license to WHP, Incorporated. On January 26, 1933, WHP was granted full time operation, no longer having to share its frequency. The FRC granted WHP full-time operation (6 a.m. to 1 a.m.) on April 27, 1934.

WHP moved from 1430 kHz to 1460 kHz on March 29, 1941. On that day, 795 US radio stations changed frequency as the result of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA), signed in Havana with representatives from Canada, US, Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.

For most of its history, WHP was a network affiliate of CBS Radio. It carried CBS's schedule of dramas, comedies, news, sports, soap operas, game shows and big band broadcasts during the "Golden Age of Radio". In an advertisement in the 1952 *Broadcasting Yearbook*, WHP is described as "The Key Station of the Keystone State". The ad says WHP is "welcomed into tens of thousands of homes in Pennsylvania's rich South-Central belt. It is the CBS station serving Harrisburg, Lancaster, York and Lebanon."

### FM and TV stations

In 1946, an FM station was added, WHP-FM. It originally broadcast on 43.5 MHz, moving to 97.3 MHz several months later. In its early years, WHP-FM mostly simulcast the AM station, later switching to beautiful music in the 1960s and is today classic rock WRVV "97.3 The River".

In 1953, a television station was added, WHP-TV, originally on Channel 55 and later on Channel 21. Because WHP had long been a CBS Radio affiliate, WHP-TV carried CBS television programs, along with some shows from the DuMont Television Network.

The Federal Communications Commission granted WHP a construction permit on January 6, 1950, to move the station from 1460 kHz to 580 kHz, followed by a license for operation on the new frequency effective May 1, 1952. The frequency lower on the AM dial gave WHP a stronger signal. The move was coupled with an increase in nighttime power to 5,000 watts, allowing it to cover most of South Central Pennsylvania day and night.

As network programming moved from radio to television in the 1950s and 1960s, WHP switched to a full service, middle of the road (MOR) format of popular adult music, news, talk and sports. In the 1980s, as music listening moved from AM to FM radio, WHP added more talk programming and by the 1990s, it had transitioned to a talk radio station.

### iHeart ownership

In August 1998, the Dame Media stations, including WHP and WRVV, were sold to Clear Channel Communications, the forerunner to iHeartMedia. In 2007, Clear Channel sold WHP-TV and its other television properties to concentrate on radio. WHP-TV is currently owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, even though it continues to share its call letters with WHP radio.

WHP once broadcast using HD Radio technology. Its digital signal was reported off the air as of July 2017. It remains on an FM HD radio subchannel of WRVV.

# Mary Baker McQuesten

**Mary Baker McQuesten** (October 10, 1849 – December 7, 1934) was a Victorian-era Canadian letter writer and activist. She was the mother of politician Thomas McQuesten.

## Biography

McQuesten was born Mary Jane Baker on October 10, 1849 in Brantford in what was then Upper Canada to parents Reverend Thomas Baker and Mary Jane McIlwaine. She attended Newmarket County Grammar School and later Mrs. Burns' Ladies Collegiate Institute in Toronto. McQuesten never received a formal university education.

Mary met Isaac Baldwin McQuesten in 1869. The two married on June 18, 1873, though Mary broke off the engagement at least once. Their eldest child, Mary Baldwin McQuesten, was born in 1874. The couple had six more children between 1876 and 1885: Calvin, Hilda-Belle, Ruby Baker, Muriel Fletcher, Thomas Baker, and Margaret Edna. Muriel Fletcher only lived to 21 months, dying in 1882.

Following the death of his father in 1885, Isaac McQuesten inherited Willowbank House and the McQuesten family moved in. Mary McQuesten changed the name of the house to Whitehern.

In 1882, McQuesten was elected to the board of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society. She was elected president of the society in 1893. In 1898, McQuesten helped to form the Woman's Home Missionary Society which helped to minister to people, especially those involved in the gold rush, in the Canadian north and northwest. Despite McQuesten's opposition, the Women's Foreign Missionary Society and the Woman's Home Missionary Society merged in 1914 to become the Women's Missionary Society.

Isaac McQuesten died in 1888 leaving Mary McQuesten a single mother of six children between the ages of 2 and 14. Isaac was an alcoholic and his death was rumoured to have been a suicide. His death left the McQuesten family in severe debt.

In 1889, McQuesten proposed the founding of a chapter of the YWCA in Hamilton. The Hamilton YWCA Building opened on May 1, 1889. McQuesten was a member of several other religious women's institutions including the National Council of Women and the Victorian Order of Nurses. Despite these feminist leanings, McQuesten was never publicly associated with the women's suffrage movement.

McQuesten was a devout Presbyterian her entire life. In 1923, she spoke out against church union. Her Presbyterian church, Hamilton Presbytery, similarly resisted joining the United Church.

On December 7, 1934, McQuesten died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

## Legacy

McQuesten's letters have been influential in Canadian humanities and social studies. The letters demonstrate the ways in which letter writing could keep distant family members aware of each other's lives in the Victorian era. The letters also provide insight into the life of a single Victorian mother and into post-colonial Victorian attitudes. McQuesten's collected writings, including missionary texts and letters, have been compiled with a biography by Mary J. Anderson called *The Life Writings of Mary Baker McQuesten: Victorian Matriarch*.

McQuesten's former home is now preserved as a museum, the Whitehern Historic House and Garden, in Hamilton.

# WMAY

**WMAY** (970 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Springfield, Illinois. The station is owned by Mid-West Family Broadcasting and the license is held by Long Nine, Inc. WMAY's transmitter, radio studios and offices are all located on North Third Street in Riverton, Illinois.

WMAY is powered at 1,000 watts by day and 500 watts at night. Programming is simulcast on two FM translators: **W234CC** at 94.7 MHz in Sherman, Illinois, and 102.5 **W273DR** in Springfield.

## Previous news/talk programming

Weekdays on WMAY-AM-FM began with "The WMAY Newsfeed," a local news and information show hosted by Greg Bishop. Local talk shows were heard in late mornings with Mike Wennmacher and in afternoon drive time with Jim Leach. The syndicated "Ramsey Show with Dave Ramsey" is carried in early afternoons. Evenings and overnights feature "Hits and Headlines," a mix of classic hits and news updates from ABC News Radio and the WMAY newsroom.

Weekends featured programs on money, health, law, real estate, computers, guns and an hour devoted to the music of the Grateful Dead. Some weekend shows are paid brokered programming. The rest of the weekend is "Hits and Headlines."

## History

WMAY first signed on the air on September 15, 1950. It was owned by Lincoln Broadcasting. In 1963, the station was acquired by Springfield Broadcasting, a division of Stuart Stations. It aired a full service middle of the road music format, using NBC Radio News for its world and national news coverage.

Mid-West Family Broadcasting bought the station in 1976, switching it to country music a short time later. In the early 1990s, WMAY went with an oldies format, and it flipped to its current talk radio format in 1995. Mid-West Family Broadcasting also owns local stations 98.7 WNNS-FM, 97.7 WQLZ and 92.7 WMAY-FM. Three of the most well-known broadcasters to pass through the studio were Bob Hale (hired directly from Clear Lake, IA after the Buddy Holly plane crash in 1959. He mc'd the show at the Surf Ballroom that night, gave casualties the next day, and was hired by WMAY; he purportedly made the coin flip between Ritchie Valens and Tommy Allsup for the final seat on the plane.); Cal Schrum ("The State Policeman's Friend," on the overnight shift; starred in many B western supporting roles and was beloved by law enforcement personnel working the "graveyard shift"); and Red Barnes (Gregory Harutunian), his 1980s successor who would "set the chickens free," in the early morning hours. The station was also known in the 1980s for its “Little Black Box” promotion that awarded keys to a new vehicle to the finder of a hidden box containing keys to a new vehicle. The station would air clues for listeners to scavenger hunt the surrounding metro area for the “black box”. The promotion ended around the time the station switched from its long-running Country format.

On August 28, 2020, it was announced by Midwest Family that WUSW (now WMAY-FM) would drop their country format and begin simulcasting WMAY on September 1. The addition of 92.7 expands WMAY's FM coverage to areas to the south and east of Springfield.

On April 25, 2022, WMAY changed its format from news/talk (which continues on WMAY-FM 92.7 Taylorville) to classic hits, branded as "102.5 The Lake".

# Gary Brabham

**Gary Thomas Brabham** (born 29 March 1961) is an Australian former professional racing driver. He is the son of three-time World Formula One Champion Sir Jack Brabham and the brother of Le Mans winners Geoff and David Brabham.

His solitary F1 berth came with Life, a team that failed to prequalify for a single F1 race in its lone season of existence. Brabham's career never fully recovered, despite winning the 1991 Sebring 12 Hours and being the first Australian to start the Gold Coast Indy Grand Prix. After his career, Brabham was convicted of child rape.

## Early life

Brabham, born in Wimbledon, England, was the second-born of the triple World Champion Sir Jack Brabham. Despite hopes from his mother that he would avoid the motor-racing scene altogether, he grew up on a diet of Formula Ford in both Australia and the UK.

He made his racing debut in 1982, finishing his first race at Calder Park Raceway in third despite being in a 9-year-old car. He later broke the Formula Ford lap record at the Sandown Raceway in the same car.

## Career

### Starter formulae

Later in 1982, he was chosen to go to Europe for 1983. Despite very little support from the Australian public, Brabham raced in the British Formula Ford 2000 Championship for Neil Trundle Racing, in a Reynard SF83. He finishing the season in 11th place. During this season, he also made his sports car-racing début, sharing a March-Ford 83S, with Alo Lawler at Brands Hatch.

For the following season, he remained in the same series, joining Penistone Racing, partnering Julian Bailey in their Reynard SF84. Brabham regularly outpaced his team-mate, and despite team orders not to outperform his team-mate, he still was not disgraced taking sixth overall in the final championship positions. During 1984, he tried his hand at other categories, including racing sport cars in the Thundersports Series, taking his maiden victory at Snetterton, sharing a Tiga-Ford TS84 with Tim Lee-Davey. With no top single-seater drives available for him in 1985, Brabham had a slight reprieve through the Thundersports series, where he raced for the TechSpeed Racing team in a Shrike-Ford P15 alongside Divina Galica, recording five second places.

In 1986, his father got a team together under the banner of Jack Brabham Racing. Gary raced in 9 of the 18 rounds of the British Formula 3 Championship in a Ralt-Volkswagen RT30, managing some decent results such as second at Silverstone. This was enough to take him to fifth in the championship. For 1987, the team had secured Panasonic backing for 15 of the 19 F3 races, in a Ralt-Volkswagen RT31. Brabham won two races at Silverstone and Donington Park, coming I sixth in the championship. He was threatening Johnny Herbert for the title until his budget tragically ran out.

He returned to Australia briefly to race in the 1987 James Hardie 1000 at Bathurst, sharing a works BMW M3 with Juan Manuel Fangio II. The car was up to fifth at one stage before Fangio glanced a stricken car in the rain. Brabham showed his speed late in the race, dicing and passing the Aussie legend Peter Brock. Although Brock would eventually win the race, Brabham and Fangio were classified 16th at the end.

For 1988, Brabham returned to England, joining Bowman Racing for a third season of British Formula 3. Although JJ Lehto won the championship, Brabham stormed home late in the season, winning four races in his Ralt-Volkswagen RT32 to finish second. On his way, he also won the Scottish Superprix and Oulton Park Gold Cup. This earned him his first chance to test a Formula One car. He tested a Benetton B188 at the behest of team manager, Peter Collins, at Jerez.

A chance to move up to International Formula 3000 arose in 1989, but the drive went to Andrea Chiesa, instead. Brabham settled for a drive with Bromley Motorsport, in the British Formula 3000 Championship, in an ex-Roberto Moreno Reynard-Cosworth 88D. He took this car to the inaugural title with four victories and pole positions along the way. During the season, he also managed to secure some outings in the International series for both Bromley and Leyton House teams, his best result being fifth at Brands Hatch.

Also, Brabham finished fifth at the 1988 Formula 3 Macau Grand Prix and sixth in 1989.

### Life in F1

After more F1 testing for Leyton House and Brabham teams, he also assisted Porsche with their Indy car, before the opportunity arose to race in F1.

He failed to prequalify for two Formula One Grands Prix with the troubled Life project, a team that failed to prequalify for all 14 of its attempts during the 1990 season. Brabham was the second-slowest prequalifier (leading only the Coloni-Subaru of Bertrand Gachot, who recorded a lap time of 5:15.010, but 30 seconds behind the EuroBrun of Claudio Langes) at Phoenix, and the engine gave up after only 400 m in Brazil. One small plus of the car was that it was the sixth-fastest car in a straight line in untimed practice in Brazil. After those two races, when clearly no improvement was forthcoming, Brabham promptly quit the team in disgust. He had a small chance to join the Brabham team at the time, but confusion over his Life contract caused him to lose the seat to his brother David.

### After Formula One

For the remainder of 1990, Brabham raced in F3000 for Middlebridge Racing in their Lola-Mugen T89/50, collecting two third places at Monza and Enna. However, his bad luck continued as he failed to qualify for Pau and Birmingham. He returned to Australia for the Eastern Creek 500, teaming up with his brother David in a Ford Sierra RS500 for Frank Gardner’s team. The brothers finished fourth.

In 1991, he went Stateside to the IMSA championship and drove for Nissan Performance Technology Inc. \[NPTI\] at the Sebring 12 Hours along his other brother Geoff and Irishman Derek Daly. Starting from pole, they won the race in their Nissan NPT-90. This victory did not open any more doors. Brabham settled for a series of one-off drives: a drive in an older Nissan at Miami, an outing in a Stürtz-BMW SM in an Interserie race at Brands Hatch and another visit to the Bathurst 1000.

Brabham accepted an invitation from NPTI to race in the IMSA Endurance races in 1992 alongside Daly and Steve Millen at Daytona, recording a DNF after running in third. At Sebring, the winning crew from 1991 was joined by Arie Luyendyk. This crew came close to defending the title, finishing second.

In 1993 and 1994, he later raced in CART, becoming the first Australian driver to race the Gold Coast Indycar street race before retiring from racing in 1995 to teach advanced driver training. His pupils have included Rowan Atkinson and Captain Mark Phillips, for celebrities competing in the Australian and British GP celebrity races

## Criminal convictions

In 2009, he pleaded guilty to charges of indecent dealing of a child under 12 years. Brabham managed to have his name suppressed as he served out his time in high security at Wacol jail.

In 2016, a Brisbane District Court 12-person jury found him guilty of one charge of rape and one charge of indecent treatment of a child then aged six. The offences occurred between 2003 and 2007 in Brisbane. After the verdict was handed down, the court was told Brabham had a criminal history. In September, an appeal by Brabham against the conviction was unanimously rejected by the Queensland Court of Appeal. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail, but was released after 6 months.

# Mary Channing

**Mary Channing** (née **Brooks**; May 1687 – 21 March 1706) was an English woman from the county of Dorset. Channing is known for being convicted of poisoning her husband and being burnt at the stake.

## Biography

Mary Brooks was born in early May 1687 to Richard and Elizabeth Brooks of Dorchester. The lack of proper parental control is said to have lowered her character. She soon established a friendship with a young neighbour to whom she often presented lavish gifts and together they spent their evenings outside. After receiving frequent complaints from neighbours, Brook's parents decided that she should be married; they thought a husband would have more control over her than they commanded. So she married, albeit reluctantly, a grocer named Thomas Channing on 15 January 1704. Even after being married, she continued meeting her lover. Channing is said to have poisoned her husband's milk.

Before dying on 21 April, Thomas Channing wrote his will, leaving everything to his father except a shilling for Mary. Her father-in-law grew suspicious and upon post-mortem of Channing's body, he was found to have been poisoned. Mary fled Dorchester and was on the run until she found a distant relative she could stay with.

When apprehended, Channing denied having killed her husband and asked the examining committee headed by Dorchester mayor to let her touch her deceased husband's body. If it did not bleed, she should be deemed innocent. Her trial began on 28 July 1705 at Dorchester Assizes and she conducted her own defence. Channing was declared guilty but the sentence was suspended when she was found to be pregnant. In prison she gave birth to a son on 19 December.

Channing was burnt at Maumbury Rings on 21 March 1706. Her execution was witnessed by about 10,000 people.

## Legacy

Thomas Hardy was somewhat "fascinated" by and "obsessed" of Channing's execution. Critic David Musselwhite points out that Nance Mockridge, Mother Cuxsom and Mrs. Goodenogh, three characters in Hardy's *The Mayor of Casterbridge*, were an "avatar or surrogate of Channing. The Ring at Casterbridge mentioned in the novel was actually in Maumbury. In his article published in *The Times* (1908), Hardy noted the lack of evidences in proving that Channing poisoned her husband. Two of Hardy's poems *The Mock Wife* and *The Bridge-Night Fire* make references to her. David James' play *White Mercury, Brown Rice* (1995) enacted the trial of Channing.

The main character in John Cowper Powys' novel Maiden Castle (1937) writes a book about Mary Channing.

He started his musical career by singing in a youth church choir "Les étoiles de Louange" which literally means "The stars of Praise" where he met many future Congolese gospel singers including Moise Mbiye, Sandra Mbuyi and others too. The Congolese people noticed Mike's young talent for the first time next to Thomas Lokofe when he released two albums, "*Nzambe na Eliya*" and "*Je lève mes yeux"* in 2000. He was also featured in Marie Misamu's hit album, "*Mystére du Voile - 100% Adoration*" in the song "Eh Yahweh".

The album comprises twelve tracks, including two duets. The lead-off single, "I Saw God Today", was the highest-debuting single of Strait's career, and his forty-third Number One on the *Billboard* country charts. The album has been certified platinum by the RIAA. At the 51st Grammy Awards, *Troubadour* earned the Grammy Award for Best Country Album, the first Grammy win of Strait's career. The album was intended to include the song "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven", but after Strait decided not to include it on the album, it was later recorded by Kenny Chesney, and was released as the first single from his album *Lucky Old Sun*.

*Rhapsody* ranked the album #4 on its "Country's Best Albums of the Decade" list. "With a career that includes an awe-inspiring 50-plus No. 1 hits, plenty of George Strait's releases could have a spot on this list, but Troubadour feels like the best fit. From the Caribbean lilt of "River of Love" to the reverential "I Saw God Today" to the honky-tonkin' trucking song "Brothers of the Highway" to the carefree Western swing of "West Texas Town", Strait runs the gamut of sounds and emotions, and aces them all. One of the few artists who can achieve commercial success without courting it, Strait remains true to the honky-tonk-inspired sound he started out with decades ago."

abstract: Mary Denness was a British ship's steward and fisherman's wife. She helped to lead a campaign that led to improvements in the safety of fishing trawlers following the 1968 Hull triple trawler tragedy. Denness afterwards served as a school nurse and was a matron at Eton College.

# Mary Denness

**Mary Denness** (nee Taylor; 1937 – March 2017) was a British ship's steward and fisherman's wife. She helped to lead a campaign that led to improvements in the safety of fishing trawlers following the 1968 Hull triple trawler tragedy. Denness afterwards served as a school nurse and was a matron at Eton College.

## Early life

Mary Taylor was born on the Hessle Road in Hull in 1937. Her family were involved in the fishing industry and as a teenager she worked as a steward on board ships for Thomas Wilson Sons & Co., a job usually then carried out by men. She married Barry Denness, the skipper of a fishing trawler, in the 1950s and they had three children.

## Hull trawler tragedy

The city of Hull was hit by the triple trawler tragedy in early 1968. Within two months three trawlers – the *St. Romanus*, *Kingston Peridot*, and *Ross Cleveland* – were lost with 58 of their crew. A campaign was started amongst local fishermen's wives, led by Lillian Bilocca, to improve safety standards aboard the trawlers. Key demands were for all trawlers to have a radio operator on board when they put to sea; for ships to be fully manned; for improved training and safety equipment; for better weather forecasts; and for a dedicated medical vessel to accompany the fleet.

Denness and Bilocca together with Christine Jensen and Yvonne Blenkinsop formed the Hessle Road Women's Committee to co-ordinate the campaign. The group became known as the "headscarf revolutionaries" for their direct-action tactics which included storming the offices of ship owners and preventing ships from leaving the harbour. The women organised a "Fishermen's Charter" petition with more than 10,000 signatures of support, collected within 10 days, which was presented to the British government. Prime Minister Harold Wilson subsequently granted all of the requests and the campaign became known as one of the most successful civil actions of the 20th century.

## Later life

Denness divorced in the 1970s and became a school nurse. She worked as matron at Eton College during the time when Princes William and Harry attended. After retirement from Eton she moved to Goxhill in Lincolnshire before entering a care home. Denness and Blenkinsop attended the unveiling of plaques to each of the headscarf revolutionaries at the Hull Maritime Museum on 25 May 2015. She died from cancer in March 2017.

Karl Turner MP described her as a "Hull legend". Former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott said "they do not build them like Mrs Mary Denness anymore. She was a wonderful woman and along with Mrs Bilocca, Mrs Blenkinsop and Mrs Smallbone \[Jensen\] she changed the most dangerous of industries. All fishermen, indeed all who go to sea, should be grateful for the massive changes they brought that saved thousands of lives to come". Dr Brian Lavery, who wrote a history of the revolutionaries, described her as "a great campaigner but more than that, a great person whose eloquence, elegance, and kindness never failed to impress me". A mural in honour of and depicting the women was unveiled in Hessle Road in October 2017, with the unveiling being attended by Denness' daughter Lorna.
