title: William Batchelor (cricketer)

abstract: William Jesse Batchelor was an English first-class cricketer, educator and clergyman. The son of Jesse Batchelor, he was born in November 1846 at Hayes, Kent. He studied at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He was a member of the Cambridge University Cricket Club, but declined a place in the eleven due to his busy study schedule. He did, however, play two first-class cricket matches for Cambridgeshire at Fenner's in 1868, against Cambridge University and Kent. He had little success in these matches, scoring 14 runs and failing to take a wicket. It was however noted by Wisden that had he taken his cricket more seriously, he may have become one of the famous bats of the day. After graduating from Cambridge in 1870, Batchelor became an assistant master at Leamington College. He was ordained as a deacon in 1872 and became a priest at Worcester Cathedral the following year. His ecclesiastical duties coincided with his teaching at the college, with Batchelor holding the curacies of Leek Wootton (1872–74) and Christ Church, Leamington (1874–76). Toward the end of his employment at the college, he became the headmaster of the modern side. While based in Warwickshire, Batchelor played minor cricket matches for Warwickshire, then a second-class county. He left Leamington in 1882 to become reverend of Horsleydown in London, before moving to the West Country where he became vicar at Brompton Regis in 1894. He was vicar there until 1908, after which he came reverend of Whitestone in Devon until 1916. Batchelor did in November of the following year at Epsom, shortly after his 71st birthday.

title: William Bedford (chaplain)

abstract: William Bedford was an English clergyman who became a chaplain in Van Diemen's Land.

text:
# William Bedford (chaplain)

**William Bedford** (1781 – 2 December 1852) was an English clergyman who became a chaplain in Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania).

## Arrival

According to the *Australian Dictionary of Biography*, Bedford was reputed to have been a stay-maker patronized by Elizabeth Fry, who interested him in prison work.

Bedford was ordained as a priest in 1821, and appointed as a military chaplain for Van Diemen's Land in 1822. He arrived in Hobart Town in 1823, and replaced Robert Knopwood as minister at St David's Church. Bedford remained in this position for the rest of his life, conducting weekly services at St David's and the prisoners' barracks.

## Work

Bedford had significant involvement in the life of the early colony. He became superintendent of schools, had a seat on the Legislative Council, and in 1831 was appointed a Justice of the Peace. He was "energetically devoted to the project of protecting the colony's children" through the orphan schools.

Bedford's sincerity and devotion earned the praise of Lieutenant Governor George Arthur. He and Arthur "shared an evangelical vision," and in him Bedford found an "able seconder of his schemes of reformation". Bedford pressed military officers who had mistresses to marry them, and according to James Bickford, "gradually and sulkily the discomfited chiefs gave in."

## Conflict

Arthur, however, lost confidence in Bedford when he spread false rumours about Philip Palmer, a rural dean who in 1833 had replaced Bedford as head clergyman in the colony.

Bedford's drinking and financial pilfering also discredited him with much of the community. In 1836 he was ordered to appear before the Executive Council on the charge of having made false returns regarding the schools in his parish. He refused to appear and was supported by Bishop William Broughton. Arthur accused Broughton of "seeking to revive benefit of clergy," while Broughton accused Arthur of "establishing a Star Chamber to conduct secret trials."

## Evaluation

According to the *Australian Dictionary of Biography*, "Bedford's combative nature, self-confidence and uncertain principles had involved him in many controversies in his long colonial service." James Bickford describes him as a man "full of human sympathies", who "combined the love of John with the fire of Peter".

# William Gage, 2nd Viscount Gage

**William Hall Gage, 2nd Viscount Gage** (6 January 1717/18 – 11 October 1791) was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1744 and 1780 when he was raised to the peerage as Baron Gage. He was equerry to the Prince of Wales.

## Biography

William Hall Gage was born to Thomas Gage and his wife Benedicta Maria Theresa Hall on 6 January 1717/18 and christened 31 January 1717/18 at Westminster St James, Middlesex. He was educated at Westminster School.

From 1744 Gage served five terms as Member of Parliament representing the Seaford borough of Sussex. As the eldest son, he succeeded his father to the title Viscount Gage on 21 December 1754. He served as Paymaster of Pensions from 1755 through 1763 and later from 1765 until 1782 when Parliament dissolved the office. On 3 February 1757 he married Elizabeth Gideon, the daughter of Sir Sampson Gideon. They lived at Firle Place in Firle, Sussex.

In 1780, Gage was created **Baron Gage** in the Peerage of Great Britain with remainder to his heirs male. His wife died on 1 July 1783. Since he had no heirs male, he was again ennobled as **Baron Gage of Highmeadow** in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1790, but this time with special remainder to the heirs male of his brothers. Gage died 11 October 1791.

### Family

William Gage's younger brother, Thomas Gage, was Commander-in-Chief of British forces at the beginning of the American Revolution. Thomas's son Sir William Hall Gage served as Admiral of the Fleet in 1862.

Gage died childless in 1791 and was succeeded by Henry Gage, 3rd Viscount Gage, the eldest son of his brother Thomas.

# William Furneaux

**William Mordaunt Furneaux** (29 July 1848- – 10 April 1928) was headmaster of Repton School and Dean of Winchester.

## Family background and childhood

Furneaux was born at the Parsonage, Walton D'Eiville, Warwickshire, on 29 July 1848, the eldest son of the Rev. William Duckworth Furneaux and his wife, Louisa (nee Dickins). He was given the middle name "Mordaunt" after Sir Charles Mordaunt, the patron of the living and the owner of the estate where they lived.

William's father belonged to the Furneaux family of Swilly in Devon and had attended Blundell's School, Tiverton, where he won a scholarship to Exeter College, Oxford. At Walton, he tutored wealthy pupils and acted as an examiner at Stratford Grammar School.

William's mother, Louisa, was the daughter of William Dickens of Cherrington, a local squire, magistrate, and deputy lieutenant of the county. Louisa's maternal grandfather was Sir James Alan Park, a judge and legal writer.

In 1860, the family moved to a more valuable living at Berkley, Somerset, where his father continued with his interest in education, acting as diocesan education inspector for the Frome district.

## Scholar at Marlborough and Oxford

From April 1861 to May 1868, William attended Marlborough College, where he achieved outstanding success, winning three scholarships (the “Junior,” the “Cotton,” and the “Senior Exhibition”) and almost every prize on offer.

From May 1868 to 1873, he attended Corpus Christi College, Oxford, having won an open scholarship worth £90 to £95, tenable for five years. He made the most of the opportunity, achieving a "double first."

He combined his studies with athletic pursuits, competing in the annual college sports held in February, where he usually came first or second in the high jump, hammer, hurdles, and shot put. From Michaelmas 1870, he took up rowing and, in 1871, only narrowly missed selection for the boat race against Cambridge.

## Master at Clifton and Marlborough

On leaving Oxford, he spent a short time as an assistant master at Clifton College before, in December 1873, joining Marlborough College as a sixth-form teacher. As the position required him to take Holy Orders, he was ordained deacon in December 1874 and priest one year later.

On 11 April 1877, at Preshute Church, William married Caroline Octavia Mortimer, the youngest daughter of the late Joseph Mortimer, a member of a prosperous cloth-making family who, after failing in business himself, lived a life of genteel leisure in the fashionable resort of Weymouth. Since his death in 1861, she had enjoyed financial independence, living with relatives at Puddletown and elsewhere. They had three daughters over the next four years: Dorothy, Marjorie, and Edith.

## Headmaster of Repton

From January 1883 to July 1900. Furneaux served as Headmaster of Repton School, Derbyshire, where he instigated substantial changes to enlarge the school, raise standards, and update the curriculum.

As a teacher, he was at his best with sixth-form boys, many of whom found his lessons inspiring. He shared with them his love of poetry and taught them critical approaches to Bible study.

In May 1891, he was made an honorary canon of Southwell Cathedral, just in time for the Queen’s state visit to Derby, where he presented her with a ceremonial address. In 1892, he was a Select Preacher at Cambridge.

By the late 1890's, he had lost some of his earlier enthusiasm. At the beginning of 1900, after breaking his ankle while skating in Switzerland, he was forced to take a month off, which gave him time for reflection. By 7 March 1900, he had decided to resign as on that day, he bought a large house in Winchester called the Friary. In July, he left the school.

## Dean of Winchester

The Friary was a substantial residence in the heart of the city, with fine views of the Cathedral and the College. Its location suggests that Furneaux was ambitious to advance his career.

His first few years at Winchester were quiet. He and his family participated in the city’s social life, and he took on a light workload, becoming examining chaplain for Southwell in September 1900 and for Winchester in June 1901.

Then, early in 1903, his life changed dramatically. The Cathedral Chapter needed to urgently appoint a new Dean before they could appoint a new Bishop. As Furneaux was the right man on the spot, the Church authorities expedited his appointment. On 24 March 1903, the Vice-Dean installed Furneaux as Dean of Winchester.

Tragedy struck one year later when, on 30 April 1904, Furneaux’s wife died after undergoing surgery for an internal complaint. Her funeral was held at the Cathedral four days later.

The period from 1905 to 1912 was the most significant in Furneaux’s life. In the spring of 1905, the diocesan architect identified that the Cathedral was at risk of collapse and that urgent underpinning was required to save it. Ideally suited to lead the project, Furneaux played a crucial role in organising the work and raising the necessary money, which amounted to £120,000.

By January 1911, the work was almost complete, and on St Swithin’s Day, 1912, a thanksgiving service celebrated the Cathedral's preservation.

## Retirement, death, and memorials

In August 1919, Furneaux resigned and went to live at New Milton, where he often helped in the local church.

He died at the White Cottage, New Milton, on 10 April 1928, aged 79, and his ashes were placed in his wife's grave three days later. He left net unsettled property of £34,350.

In 1930, the Bishop of Winchester unveiled a pair of memorial gates to the Dean. Repton School chapel also has a memorial to him.

Mona Lisa Lee is a patient in a mental institution near New Orleans. After silently enduring abusive treatment, she uses a telepathic power to escape, injuring several workers who stand in her way. Wandering the streets aimlessly at night, she encounters various strangers, some of them hostile or menacing. Her strange behavior brings her to the attention of a policeman, Officer Harold, who tries to arrest her. She uses her power to cause him to shoot himself in the knee.

Next, she saves a woman named Bonnie Belle who is losing a fistfight in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant. Bonnie Belle, a stripper who is a single mother, befriends Mona Lisa and takes her home. Mona bonds with Bonnie's young son, Charlie.

Bonnie exploits Mona Lisa's power to rob a man at an ATM, and to extort unintended tips from the patrons of the nightclub where she dances. Mona Lisa's actions bring her to the attention of Officer Harold, as he continues to investigate. When he confronts the two women, Bonnie's actions cause Mona Lisa to see through her and she ends the friendship. Alone, Bonnie is attacked and badly beaten by a group of men she had defrauded earlier.

Mona Lisa decides to leave town and offers to take Charlie with her. Charlie accepts. When they are nearly apprehended by Officer Harold at the airport, Charlie creates a distraction so that Mona Lisa can escape.

abstract: Willem van Heythuysen posing with a sword is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, painted in 1625-1630, and now in the Alte Pinakothek, in Munich. It shows the Haarlem cloth merchant Willem van Heythuysen in a theatrical pose with a rapier.

# Willem van Heythuysen Posing with a Sword

***Willem van Heythuysen posing with a sword*** is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, painted in 1625-1630, and now in the Alte Pinakothek, in Munich. It shows the Haarlem cloth merchant Willem van Heythuysen in a theatrical pose with a rapier.

## Painting

The painting shows a proud man standing in front of a neoclassical architectural element with drapery, leaning on a sword. In the distance a garden with a couple can be seen, and in the foreground some roses lie on the ground. It was first documented by Adriaan Loosjes, who mentioned it in his tribute to Hals in 1789 as being in the collection Gerrit Willem van Oosten de Bruyn. Much later Ernst Wilhelm Moes included it in his *Iconographia Batavia*, and Hofstede de Groot documented it again with the following description:

> WILLEM VAN HEYTHUYSEN. B. 123; M. 44. Full-length; life size. He stands with the left foot forward and the right drawn back. His figure is turned three-quarters left; his head almost faces the spectator, at whom he is looking. His left hand is pressed to his side; his right hand clasps the hilt of a sword with its point on the ground. He has a moustache and pointed beard. He wears a broad-brimmed hat, a white collar like a ruff trimmed with lace, and a very richly trimmed costume of dark blue with broad lace-trimmed cuffs. Behind him a lilac- brown drapery hangs on a fantastic piece of architecture; to the left is a view of a French garden; on the ground lie roses. Painted about 1635.

## Legacy

The painting served as inspiration to many, not just the poetry of Loosjes. Judith Leyster made a period copy, though she exchanged the rapier for a walking stick. Several people have posed in this stance in costume, most recently Kehinde Wiley who made a painting of a young black man in the same pose. In his 1989 catalog of the international Frans Hals exhibition Slive claimed it was previously incorrectly dated as 1635 but was actually painted 10 years earlier. The art historian Claus Grimm seemed to recognize that the drapery behind him looked similar to the iridescent dress of Hals' portrait of Aletta Hannemans, discussing these paintings after each other and placing them as painted in the same year. Possibly, as Heythuyzen was a cloth merchant, both were from workshops under his control and this portrait shows the source of his wealth as well as a romantic vision of himself as a bachelor. Because he is positioned facing left, we know that this is not a wedding pendant, as Hals always placed the woman on the right facing left. Heythuizen never married and died a bachelor.

title: Maryland Route 704

abstract: Maryland Route 704 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Martin Luther King Jr. Highway, the highway runs 6.53 miles (10.51 km) from Eastern Avenue at the District of Columbia boundary in Seat Pleasant east to MD 450 in Lanham. MD 704 is a four- to six-lane divided highway that connects the northern Prince George's County communities of Seat Pleasant, Landover, Glenarden, and Lanham. The highway was constructed along the right of way of the abandoned Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway (WB&A) in the early 1940s. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, MD 704 served as a temporary routing of U.S. Route 50 while the U.S. Highway's freeway was under construction from Washington to Lanham. The route was expanded to a divided highway between Seat Pleasant and US 50 in the late 1960s and early 1970s. MD 704 was completed as a divided highway when the portion east of US 50 was expanded in the late 1990s.

# Maryland Route 704

**Maryland Route 704** (**MD 704**) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as **Martin Luther King Jr. Highway**, the highway runs 6.53 miles (10.51 km) from Eastern Avenue at the District of Columbia boundary in Seat Pleasant east to MD 450 in Lanham. MD 704 is a four- to six-lane divided highway that connects the northern Prince George's County communities of Seat Pleasant, Landover, Glenarden, and Lanham. The highway was constructed along the right of way of the abandoned Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway (WB&A) in the early 1940s. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, MD 704 served as a temporary routing of U.S. Route 50 (US 50) while the U.S. Highway's freeway was under construction from Washington to Lanham. The route was expanded to a divided highway between Seat Pleasant and US 50 in the late 1960s and early 1970s. MD 704 was completed as a divided highway when the portion east of US 50 was expanded in the late 1990s.

## Route description

MD 704 begins at an intersection with Eastern Avenue near the eastern corner of the District of Columbia. The highway continues south as 63rd Street, which heads south toward Southern Avenue and East Capitol Street. MD 704 heads northeast as a six-lane divided highway through the city of Seat Pleasant, where the highway intersects Addison Road at staggered intersections. Addison Road leads to St. Matthew's Church, which is also known as the Addison Chapel. After leaving the city, the state highway crosses Cabin Branch and intersects Sheriff Road at an oblique angle. MD 704 passes through Landover, where the highway traverses Cattail Branch and meets MD 202 (Landover Road) at a full cloverleaf interchange. The highway continues through the city of Glenarden, where the highway intersects Ardwick Ardmore Road and crosses over Interstate 95 (I-95)/I-495 (Capital Beltway) without access. MD 704 drops to four lanes again between Ardwick Ardmore Road and the five-ramp partial cloverleaf interchange at US 50 (John Hanson Highway), which is also unsigned I-595. The interchange includes a direct ramp to northbound I-95/I-495 toward Baltimore; the ramp to westbound US 50 is used to access southbound I-95/I-495 toward Richmond. MD 704 continues northeast as a six-lane highway across Bald Hill Branch and veers east before reaching its eastern terminus at MD 450 (Annapolis Road) in Lanham.

MD 704 is a part of the National Highway System as a principal arterial from US 50 to MD 450 in Lanham.

## History

MD 704 follows the abandoned right of way of the defunct WB&A Railway, an interurban railroad that included a northsouth line between Washington and Baltimore and a branch to Annapolis from Naval Academy Junction in Odenton. Construction on the electric railway began in 1902 and service began between the three cities in 1908. The WB&A went into receivership in 1931 and shut down in 1935. The Maryland State Roads Commission converted the abandoned railroad right of way into a two-lane highway from the District of Columbia line to US 50 (now MD 450) near Lanham between 1942 and 1944. The WB&A had a pair of timber bridges across its right of way. The Chapel Road bridge in Seat Pleasant, which carried what was then MD 389 and is now Addison Road across the railroad, was removed; the junction was regraded as an intersection with the new highway. In 1944, the War Production Board authorized the replacement of MD 202's bridge across the abandoned railroad as one of the few nonwar-effort highway projects federally funded during World War II. Construction on the new steel-and-concrete bridge began in late 1944 and was completed by 1946. Access between the grade-separated highways at the MD 202MD 704 junction was via a pair of two-way ramps.

MD 704 was named for George N. Palmer, a banker and community leader in Seat Pleasant, by 1951. John Hanson Highway was constructed from US 301 in Bowie west to MD 704 between 1954 and 1957. MD 704 was expanded to a divided highway through the highway's interchange with the freeway as part of the construction. In addition to the current set of ramps, the interchange included loop ramps from westbound MD 704 to the eastbound freeway and from the westbound freeway to westbound MD 704. By 1958, the portion of MD 704 south of the freeway was marked as Temporary US 50. This temporary route extended west into Washington along newly completed East Capitol Street and the pair of Independence Avenue and Constitution Avenue to reconnect with US 50 at 2nd Street in Capitol Hill. US 50 remained along Defense Highway (now MD 450) from Bowie to Bladensburg and on Bladensburg Road and Maryland Avenue within the city until 1962, when the U.S. Highway was placed along the newly completed John Hanson Highway from Bowie to Washington and Temporary US 50 was removed from MD 704.

MD 704 was expanded to a divided highway from the District of Columbia boundary to Addison Road in Seat Pleasant in 1962. The segment of divided highway at the US 50 interchange was extended west to Ardwick Ardmore Road in Glenarden in 1969. MD 704's modern cloverleaf interchange with MD 202 was completed in 1971, the same year the former highway was expanded to a divided highway from Seat Pleasant to just north of the latter highway. The divided highway was extended southwest through Glenarden from Ardwick Ardmore Road to Glenarden Parkway in 1972 and to MD 202 in 1973. MD 704 was renamed for civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., in 1987. The highway's interchange with US 50 was rebuilt in 1991 in conjunction with the overhaul of the US 50Capital Beltway interchange immediately to the west; two of the interchange's loop ramps with westbound MD 704 were removed. The MD 704 divided highway was extended east from the US 50 interchange to Forbes Boulevard in 1997 and Lottsford Vista Road in 1999. MD 704 and MD 450 were relocated at their junction to make MD 704 part of the eastwest axis of a more orthogonal intersection in 2000. This project was part of the expansion of the final segment of MD 704 and the adjacent portion of MD 450 to a divided highway.

MD 704A was the designation for an unnamed 0.15-mile (0.24 km) segment of old alignment of MD 704 at its junction with MD 450. The designation was assigned in 2000 when MD 704 and MD 450 were relocated. The MD 704A designation and the road itself were removed in 2004; the Vista Gardens shopping center now sits on the highway's general location.

# Mason City Public Library

The **Mason City Public Library** is located in Mason City, Iowa, United States. The building that was funded by Andrew Carnegie, and is now an office building, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It was included as a contributing property in the Mason City Downtown Historic District in 2005.

## History

The first library in Mason City was a subscription library that was organized in 1871, but it did not last long. The second library effort was a reading room that was organized in 1888. In 1892 voters in Mason City approved a tax levy to establish a free public library. It was housed at various locations on both South Federal Avenue and on East State Street. Through the efforts of U.S. Senator William B. Allison, local attorney James E. Blythe made a personal appeal to Andrew Carnegie and his secretary to build a new library building in Mason City. Because of his appeal the city was awarded a grant of $20,000 on April 11, 1902, which was $7,000 more than it would have normally received.

The Chicago architectural firm of Patton & Miller designed the two-story Neoclassical building. Construction was delayed because of a debate in the local community over the use of Bedford stone over local limestone. The architects wanted the Bedford stone because it could be worked to a smooth finish, while the native limestone could not. Other delays contributed the building being completed in December 1904 with a stone veneer of Bedford stone. Dedicated on January 10, 1905, it is considered the finest example of Neoclassical architecture in Mason City.

By the late 1930s the Carnegie library had become too small. The city received a grant from the Public Works Administration (PWA) to expand the building. The MacNider family offered 7 acres (2.8 ha) at Second and Pennsylvania for a new library. The city renegotiated with the PWA to use the grant for a new building. The Chicago architectural firm of Holabird & Root designed the new building, which was dedicated in January 1940. The Denison Room, which overlooks the garden and Willow Creek, and an adjacent patio was completed in 1961. The west wing was added for the Iowa State Library Extension Service in 1966. The Mason City Community Theatre leased the wing from 1981 to 1997 after the Extension Service no longer used it. In 1998 it was remodeled for library use, and the second-floor auditorium was remodeled for the Life Long Learning Center.

**Vicki Lee Lansky** (née **Rogosin**; January 6, 1942 – January 15, 2017) was an American author and publisher, best known for her cookbook *Feed Me I'm Yours*.

*Feed Me I'm Yours* began as a local fund-raising cookbook for the Minneapolis chapter of the Childbirth Education Association (CEA) in 1974. Lansky, then a new mother and recent transplant to suburban Minneapolis from New York City, was not familiar with local group 'favorite-recipe' fund-raising cookbooks.

When the couple's marriage ended in the early 1980s, however, so did the business partnership; in the divorce settlement, her husband got the business, while she got their lake-front home.

## Books

Lansky's first book is still one of the highest-selling baby/toddler food cookbooks in the United States, which has sold over 3 million copies. Lansky followed the book with *Taming of the C.A.N.D.Y. (Continuously Advertised Nutritionally-Deficient Yummies) Monster*, which landed as #1 on *The New York Times* Best Seller list on April 30, 1978 after an appearance on *The Phil Donahue Show*.

Her parenting newsletter was recommended by Ann Landers on December 17, 1981, and was described by the *New York Times* as 'the most original' of its kind. The newsletter's parenting tips were incorporated into a later book, *Practical Parenting Tips for the First Five Years*, which has sold over 700,000 copies.

In the 1980s, Bantam Books published Lansky's first single-topic parenting titles after she left Meadowbrook Press. The list includes: *Toilet Training: A Practical Guide to Daytime and Nighttime Training* (1993, 2003); *Birthday Parties, Best Party Tips & Ideas For Ages 1-8* (1986, 1995); *Dear Babysitter Handbook* (1992, 2001); *Welcoming Your Second Baby* (1984, 2005); *Getting Your Child to Sleep...and Back to Sleep* (1985, 2004); *Trouble-Free Travel with Children* (1991, 2004); and *Baby-Proofing Basics* (1991, 2002).

Her children/parent read-together books include *KoKo Bear's New Potty, A New Baby at KoKo Bear's House, KoKo Bear and the New Babysitter*, and *KoKo Bear's Big Earache*, which last helps children prepare for ear tube surgery. Lansky later self-published these titles through Book Peddlers, which she established to distribute her own titles as well as those by others.

On the sixth anniversary of her divorce NAL/Signet published *Vicki Lansky's Divorce Book for Parents: Helping Children Cope with Divorce and Its Aftermath*. In an interview, Lansky stated: "I read what was available on divorce but no one book had all I needed in one place so I wrote the one I wished I could have found for myself... I wrote a book to help other parents get through that tough time." The book was reprinted in 1996 by her own press, Book Peddlers. The book received a Parent's Choice Book award. According to the *New York Times* review of the book, "It's the one to read through your fears and tears".

Her companion children's book, *It's Not Your Fault, KoKo Bear*, is intended for children 3–7 years coping with divorce. And in the midst of the Beanie Baby frenzy of that time, Lansky created *KoKo Bear: the Divorce Doll for Kids*. Lansky was interviewed by Meredith Vieira on *The View*, where she introduced the KoKo Bear doll to a national audience. KoKo Bear comes with a small backpack which encourages children to write down their worries and stuff them into the backpack so that KoKo Bear—not the children—can carry them.

In 1988, Lansky received a call from the new editor at *Family Circle* magazine. The publication was looking for a new household hints columnist, which opportunity allowed Lansky to go from writing tips for young children to tips for adults. Lansky had since written and published several household hints books, including the bestsellers *Baking Soda: Over 500 Fabulous, Fun and Frugal Uses*, with over 500,000 copies sold, and *Vinegar: Over 400 Various, Versatile and Very Good Uses* (2004) with over 350,000 copies sold.

## Media

Lansky was a Sunday columnist for the *Minneapolis Star Tribune* from 1985 to 1987, a contributing editor to *Family Circle* magazine for more than eight years, and wrote a monthly column for *Sesame Street Parents* magazine from 1987 to 1997. Lansky's media appearances over the years have included *The Rosie O'Donnell Show*, *The View*, *CBS This Morning*, *The Oprah Winfrey Show*, *The Phil Donahue Show*, *CNN*, *PM Magazine*, *Attitudes* (on Lifetime Cable), *Hour Magazine*, *Smart Solutions* (HGTV), *The 700 Club*, and *The Today Show*.

She has been featured in several major national magazines and held a parenting spot for a year on *AP Radio* in 1983. She taped TV segments for *Help! Around the House* and *Home Matters*, and has appeared on QVC. Two of her divorce articles can be found on the Huffington Post.

Lansky worked as a spokesperson for Arm & Hammer Baking Soda (January 2001/BSMG), the Dole Family Advisory Board (March 2000/Londre Company), Mead Johnson's Enfamil (December 1999/BSMG), and P&G's Bounce fabric softener sheets (July 1997/Marina Mahr). In 2005 she worked with 3M as part of the 75th anniversary celebration of the invention of Scotch Tape.

In 2002, Lansky was named Minnesota publisher of the year by the Midwest Independent Publishers Association.

## Personal life

Lansky was born in Louisville, Kentucky. At age 13, her family moved to Mount Vernon, New York. She graduated from A. B. Davis High School. After receiving a B.A. from Connecticut College, she worked in New York City in the retail clothing industry.

She married S. Bruce Lansky in 1967. In 1971 the couple moved with their first child to Minneapolis where he had taken a new job. When they divorced in 1983, Vicki and Bruce co-parented their children, with the kids living one week with each parent. Today most of Lansky's books are published by Book Peddlers and are distributed by Publishers Group West (PGW) to book outlets and in eBook format, as well as by mail or online through Practical Parenting. Lansky married Stephen M. Schaefer in 2008 just as she was updating *101 Ways to Tell Your Sweetheart "I Love You"*.

## Death

Lansky died on January 15, 2017, aged 75, in hospice care at her home in Trillium Woods in Plymouth, Minnesota from cirrhosis. She was survived by her two children and three grandchildren.

## Controversy

In his November 11, 2010 article on Cracked.com, popular internet writer Seanbaby pointed out that Lanksy had reused whole passages from an earlier work for the book *101 Ways to say I Love You*, claiming that she had "tricked \[him\] into buying this terrible book twice!".

title: Villa Garzoni (Collodi)

abstract: Villa Garzoni at Collodi is a villa just over the border of the province of Lucca,. The garden was built shortly before 1652 by the Garzoni family, relating to the site of the old castle, which stands slightly apart, closely associated with the village that nestles round it, on the edge of a clifflike slope, which had been chosen in earlier times for its defensible approach. The garden of Villa Garzoni, whose layout "makes the fullest use of a precipitous hillside site in a manner that is usually associated with Rome", features giochi d'aqua, or a water garden, constructed at the foot of a series of balustraded terraces and a suite of grand symmetrical staircases connecting the lower water gardens at the base of the hill, with the house, the cascade, the teatro di verdura and other garden features above.

The gardens were originally laid out by 1652, and were completed during the course of the century, at the end of which they were already famous. When Filippo Juvarra found himself at Lucca in 1714, he made a rapid bravura pen-and-ink sketch for a scenographic enlargement of the Palazzina dell'Orologio that remained on paper as one of his many off-the-cuff pensieri. The water garden was added in 1786 by Ottavio Diodati, a local architect. The villa, which was thoroughly rebuilt in the eighteenth century, belonged to the Garzoni family until the beginning of the twentieth century.

## Career

Williams joined IBM, San Jose, CA, in 1970 initially in the Manufacturing Research organization where he reported to Larry Comstock. In the late 70's he worked on magnetic bubble memory. In 1982, he joined the Magnetic Recording Institute (led by Charles Denis Mee) and managed an investigation of perpendicular magnetic recording. In 1985 he moved to the IBM Almaden Research Center to become manager of Advanced Recording Heads with a focus on magnetic modelling.
Williams represented IBM on the National Storage Industry Consortium (INSIC) UltraHigh Density Magnetic Recording Head project. In 1996, he became a member of the Extremely High Density Recording Strategy Team at INSIC which led to the proposal for TDMR technology.
In 2002, the IBM HDD division was purchased by Hitachi. Williams worked for Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (HGST) and continued to conduct fundamental research and modeling of magnetic recording physics and on HDD system integration.
After Williams retired from Hitachi GST in 2005, he played a major role in the restoration of the IBM RAMAC, the first commercial hard disk drive. This work was done at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. He volunteered as a docent at the museum and gave weekly demonstrations of the drive.

## Awards and recognition

In 1999, Williams was elevated to the grade of IEEE Fellow for "contributions to the understanding of the digital magnetic recording process and the continued progress of areal density of disk drives".
In 2006 Williams was selected as a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Magnetics Society. He gave a presentation entitled "Beyond the Limits of Magnetic Recording: An Itinerant Magnetician Looks at Hysterical Loops" at multiple locations throughout Europe, Asia, and America.
In 2006, Williams also received the Reynold B Johnson Data Storage Device Technology Award for "significant advances in storage device technology engineering, research, leadership, or education; leading to the development of commercial data storage devices"
Williams was a prolific inventor and authored or coauthored 27 US Patents. Several of the patents are highly cited, notably on magnetoresistive read heads, Shingled Recording and perpendicular recording. Williams was recognized as an IBM Master Inventor in 2001
Williams was the author of numerous technical papers on magnetic recording and was particularly noted for his early collaboration with Larry Comstock that resulted in the eponymous Williams-Comstock model that allowed the optimization of the written transitions that carry data in magnetic recording
