Jacques de Billy de Prunay, Sonnets spirituels (1567).

Jacques de Billy (Billi) de Prunay was a French patristic scholar, theologian, jurist, linguist, and Benedictine abbot (1535—December 25, 1581).

Born in Guise in Picardy, he began his studies at Paris, completed a course of philosophy and theology before he was eighteen years of age, and then, at the request of his parents went to Orléans and later to Poitiers to study jurisprudence. But having no inclination for law, he devoted most of his time to literature. The early death of his parents gave him the opportunity he desired of pursuing unhampered his favorite study of letters.

Quietly withdrawing to Lyon and later to Avignon, de Billy devoted himself, for a period, entirely to the study of Greek and Hebrew. He already held in commendam the Abbey of St.-Léonard of Ferrières in Anjou, and the Priory of Taussigny in Touraine, when his older brother Jean, who had hitherto led a very worldly life, suddenly announced his intention of becoming a Carthusian, and resigned in favour of Jacques his two abbeys, Notre-Dame des Châtelliers and Saint-Michel-en-l'Herm.

After some hesitation de Billy accepted them, then entered the Order of St. Benedict, and later was made a regular abbot. Thenceforth he led a very ascetic life and governed his monasteries with great prudence. He was especially solicitous for the proper observance of monastic discipline and with that object in view renewed, in 1566, the statutes of his predecessor, Abbot Bertrand de Moussy. During the civil wars that devastated France at this period the monastery of St.-Michel-en-l'Herme was wholly destroyed. The abbot himself was frequently obliged to seek refuge from the ravages of war, and resided, for short periods, at Laon, Nantes, Paris, and in the Priory of Taussigny.

His Anthologia sacra libri quator, quorum primus & secundus a Jacobo Billio...Tertius Prosperi Aquitanici sacra Epigrammata in D. Aurelii Augustini sententias continet.. Quartus varios Hymnos sacras, pietatem spirantes complectitur was first published in Paris in 1575.

He died at Paris.

Heinrich Meibom.

Heinrich Meibom (4 December 1555 – 20 September 1625), German historian and poet, was born at Barntrup in Westphalia.

He held the chair of history and poetry at Helmstedt from 1583 until his death. He was a writer of Latin verses (Parodiarum horatianarum Libri III et sylvarum Libri II, 1588); and his talents in this direction were recognized by the emperor Rudolph II, who ennobled him; but his claim to be remembered rests on his services in elucidating the medieval history of Germany.

His Opuscula historica ad res Germanicus spectantia was edited and published in 1660 by his grandson, Heinrich Meibom (1638–1700), who was professor of medicine who wrote 57 medical treaties and then of history and poetry at Helmstedt, and incorporated his grandfather's work with his own Rerum germanicarum scriptures (1688).

Luke Beckett

Luke John Beckett (born 25 November 1976) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker from 1998 to 2012.

Born in Sheffield, England, Beckett played in the Football League for ten years notably appearing for Sheffield United, Huddersfield Town, Stockport County and Oldham Athletic, having also played for Chester City, Chesterfield, Gainsborough Trinity, Worksop Town and Goole.

Career

Beckett made his name as a prolific striker since making his Football League début for Chester City in a 2–0 defeat by Leyton Orient in August 1998. He had been signed on a free transfer from Barnsley and was to be a big hit in his two years with Chester, winning the club's player of the season award in 1999–2000. This season saw Chester relegated from the Football League and Beckett moved to Chesterfield.

Despite the Spireites suffering a points deduction for off-field matters, Beckett helped them win promotion from Division Three in 2000–01 and he would go on to be similarly prolific for Stockport County scoring nearly 50 goals in 2 years. This prompted a move to Sheffield United in November 2004 for £50,000.

However, he never scored for the Blades and spent most of his two seasons as a United player out on loan at Oldham Athletic. £20,000 of his loan fee to Oldham was subsidised by Trust Oldham. He was also on loan at Huddersfield Town where his six goals in seven appearances in 2005 persuaded Terriers manager Peter Jackson to sign Beckett on 3 July 2006, for £85,000, on a three-year deal.

On 5 January 2008, Beckett scored the opening goal in a 2–1 victory over Premier League side Birmingham City in the FA Cup third round.Oldham Athletic 1–0. He was believed to be close to signing for League Two side Bradford City in May, and was later ready to sign for York City in the Conference National, but could not reach an agreement over the remainder of his contract with Huddersfield.

On 27 November, he joined Conference North side Gainsborough Trinity on a short-term contract after paying off the remainder of his contract with Huddersfield.Harrogate Town. In January, he extended his stay with Gainsborough until the end of the 2008–09 season.

On 11 March 2011 Beckett joined Worksop Town on loan for the remainder of the 2010–11 season.

Jobst II, Count of Hoya

Count Jobst II of Hoya (1493 – 25 April 1545) ruled the County of Hoya from 1511 until his death.

Life

Family

He was the eldest son of Count Jobst I and his wife, Ermengarde of Lippe. After the early death of his father in 1507, a regency council was formed, consisting of the Count of Spiegelberg, the Lord of Diepholz and his mother.

His younger brother John VII entered into Swedish service and became governor of Vyborg. His brother Eric IV inherited the Stolzenau section of the county. His sisters Anna and Elisabeth were canonesses of Vreden Abbey and Essen Abbey.

Reign

After a feudal dispute, the County of Hoya was occupied by Dukes Henry the Middle and Henry the Elder of Brunswick-Lüneburg in 1512. Jobst and his family found refuge with Count Edzard I of East Frisia. In 1519, a compromise was found and Hoya was returned to Jobst, after he paid a huge sum of money.

Jobst introduced the Reformation in the county of Hoya. He was a supporter of Martin Luther as early as 1523. In 1525, Luther sent the theologian Adrian Buxschott to Hoya. In 1532, Jobst dissolved the abbey in Bücken and other monasteries in Hoya; only the abbey in Bassum was allowed to continue as a befitting place for unmarried daughters of the nobility.

Jobst's reign saddled the county with heavy debts and mortgages on many manors. He also left unresolved disputes with his creditors.

Death

Jobst and his wife both died in 1545. They were buried in the St. Martin church in Nienburg. Her tomb is located in the hall below the church tower.

Marriage and issue

Jobst married Anna of Gleichen and had the following children:

List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom to France

The British Ambassador to France is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in France, and is the head of Britain's diplomatic mission in Paris. The official title is His Majesty's Ambassador to France.

Traditionally, the Embassy to France has been the most prestigious posting in the British foreign service, although in past centuries, diplomatic representation was lacking due to wars between the two countries and the Nazi occupation.

For the period before the creation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801, see List of ambassadors of the Kingdom of England to France (up to 1707) and List of ambassadors of Great Britain to France (from 1707 to 1800).

The Paris embassy also covers remotely the French overseas territories (including French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Réunion, French Polynesia, Mayotte, Wallis and Futuna, New Caledonia, Saint-Barthélemy) and Monaco.

Besides the embassy, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office maintains consulates in Bordeaux and Marseille in southern France.

Grant v Edwards

Grant v Edwards was an English Court of Appeal case on common intention constructive trusts.

It applied the decision in Eves v Eves [1975] and widened its effect to a 50% share in many future contributory common intention constructive trusts, where also an express intention is shown to have put the house into joint names, never fulfilled.

Facts

A house was purchased for the claimant and defendant to live in as if married. The plaintiff was in fact married to someone else and the house was purchased in the name of the defendant and the defendant's brother. The defendant had used words to the effect that, by way of explanation to the plaintiff, he would not put the claimants name into a title deed ("On the deeds") yet as it would be prejudicial towards matrimonial proceedings between the claimant and her husband ("your divorce").

The facts above were closely analogous to Eves v Eves. However in Grant v Edwards less work was done by the claimant and the explanation used was not one about a person's age being "not yet 21" in that case, which was a legal fiction used by the other party to deny ownership. In this case "[the claimant] made a very substantial contribution to the housekeeping and to the feeding and bringing up of the children... The judge [at first instance] said that at that time she was earning substantially and making a financial contribution. It seems clear that she was still in regular employment in 1980, when her relationship with the defendant finally broke up."

Judgment

The Court of Appeal ruled that the claimant was entitled to a 50% in the proceeds of sale from the property based upon a common intention based upon a statement that Mrs. Grant's name would appear on the title deeds. The court expressly followed Eves v Eves, a case of the same legal status, however in that case it was found a 25% share was fairer given the maintenance payments also due, deposit and mortgage payments entirely by the defendant, and state of the law at that time.

Matthes was appointed chief of the extermination area at Camp 2 where the gas chambers were built and managed by the SS personnel overseeing some 300 slave labourers disposing of corpses under penalty of death. He was tried in the 1964 Treblinka trials, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Life

Matthes was born in 1902 in Wermsdorf, near Leipzig. His father was a senior male nurse. Matthes attended public elementary school for eight years. He then became a tailor, but changed careers to nurse. He trained at Sonnenstein and took his exam there. Then he worked at the Arnsdorf and Bräunsdorf hospitals.Nazi Party and the SA. When World War II broke out, he was drafted into the army. After about two years, Matthes was then recruited by Action T4, the Nazi state-sponsored program to kill disabled persons. He worked in the T4 photo laboratory and then served in the T4 unit with Organization Todt in Russia. Matthes last rank in the Heer was Obergefreiter.

Treblinka death camp

In August 1942, Matthes was ordered to Lublin reservation, where he was in short time drafted into the SS with the rank of Scharführer (Sergeant), dispatched to Operation Reinhard, and sent to Treblinka extermination camp. There he was appointed chief officer commanding Camp II (the extermination area) and the gas chambers.Franz Suchomel in the following way:

Wirth installed Matthes as chief of Camp II, as far as I know — and I lived with Matthes — against his will. With further threats he also made Matthes toe the line.


Heinrich Matthes

Matthes was obsessed with cleanliness. In the autumn of 1942, Matthes shot two prisoners because at the end of the work day they had not properly cleaned to his satisfaction the stretcher which they used to transport corpses.typhus epidemic broke out in Treblinka. Matthes took eight sick inmates to the Lazarett and had them shot. During that same winter he shot the prisoner Ilik Weintraub because, while transferring bodies from the gas chambers to the pits, Weintraub had stopped for a moment to drink some water from the well.

Matthes as remembered by Jerzy Rajgrodzki, a prisoner in the extermination area:

He used to beat the prisoners with a completely expressionless, apathetic look on his face, as if the beatings were part of his daily routine. He always saw to it that the roll-call area would always be extremely clean. One of the prisoners had to rake the sand in the square all day long, and he had to do it with Prussian exactness.

In the autumn of 1943 Matthes was transferred to Sobibor extermination camp. He later served in Trieste with the other Operation Reinhard perpetrators.Treblinka Trials in 1965 he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Matthes died in prison in 1978.

Main article: Treblinka trials

During the entire time I was in Treblinka, I served in the upper camp. The upper camp was that part of Treblinka with the gas chambers, where the Jews were killed and their corpses laid in large pits and later burned. About fourteen Germans carried out services in the upper camp. There were two Ukrainians permanently in the upper camp. One of them was called Nikolai, the other was a short man, I don't remember his name ... These two Ukrainians who lived in the upper camp served in the gas chambers. They also took care of the engine room when Fritz Schmidt was absent. Usually this Schmidt was in charge of the engine room. In my opinion, as a civilian he was either a mechanic or a driver. He came from Pirna ... I carried out the roll calls of the working Jews in the upper camp. There were about 200-300 such working Jews. They took away the corpses and later burned them. There were also working Jews who had to break out the gold teeth from the corpses. When I was asked whether a special working group examined the corpses for hidden jewelry and valuables, I answered: "About this I don't know".

In the upper camp in the area of the gas chambers were stationed about six to eight Ukrainians. These Ukrainians were armed with rifles. Some of them also had leather whips ... The people who were brought through the passage were forced to enter the separate [single] gas chamber. Later, in summer 1942, the new gas chambers were built. I think that they became operational only in the autumn. All together, six gas chambers were active. According to my estimate, about 300 people could enter each gas chamber. The people went into the gas chamber without resistance. Those who were at the end, the Ukrainian guards had to push inside. I personally saw how the Ukrainians pushed the people with their rifle butts ... The gas chambers were closed for about thirty minutes. Then Schmidt stopped the gassing, and the two Ukrainians who were in the engine room opened the gas chambers from the other side.


Heinrich Matthes

An SS-Oberscharführer or Hauptscharführer Floss arrived at this time [November 1942], who, so I presume, must previously have been in another camp. He then had the installation built for burning the corpses. The incineration was carried out by placing railroad rails on blocks of concrete. The corpses were then piled up on these rails. Brush wood was placed under the rails. The wood was drenched with gasoline. Not only the newly obtained corpses were burnt in this way, but also those exhumed from the ditches.

Mother María Concepción of the Nativity and the Perpetual Help of Mary mfPS (ca. 1942)

María Concepción of the Nativity and the Perpetual Help of Mary (María Concepción de la Natividad y el Perpetuo Socorro de María) is the religious name of the Reverend Mother Foundress of The Order of Atonement of the Franciscan Minims of the Perpetual Help of Mary (mfPS) which she founded on June 24, 1942, in Zamora, Michoacan, Mexico.

Early life

Born María Concepción Zúñiga López, María Concepción states that when she was still a young girl, Jesus Christ instructed and dictated the Rule and Constitutions of the Order to her.

During and after María Concepción's First Holy Communion (which her mother helped her daughter to make in secret because her father was a 33rd degree Mason and all the Catholic churches and schools in Mexico at that time were closed, and most priests, bishops and Religious had to go into in hidingFederales" under the Calles government) the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist spoke to little María Concepción and taught her the Faith and how to pray since she had received absolutely no religious education or catechesis at all during this time (1924-1928) of anti-Catholic, anti-Church religious persecution throughout Mexico by the atheist Mexican president Plutarco Elías Calles.

Living in a secular household during a time of violent religious persecution in Mexico, María Concepción Zúñiga López had never seen women living in a Religious community and did not even know Religious Life for women existed. At one point in her education, she was learning secretarial skills that include typing and short hand from a group of women who taught in a business school near her home. María Concepción told her spiritual director, a famous Mexican bishop in hiding, that she was drawn to a life of prayer and the bishop explained to her that the women who were teaching her were Carmelites in hiding (they did not wear a Religious habit but secular dresses) and actually belonged to a Religious Congregation (Catholic), the Carmelite Sisters of the Sacred Heart (Hermanas Carmelitas del Sagrado CorazonMaría Luisa Josefa of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Apostolic mission


Apostolic mission

Franciscan Minims of the Perpetual Help of Mary (mfPS) live the Primitive Rule of Saint Francis of Assisi and at their Profession make five Vows: Poverty, Chastity, Obedience, and two special Vows particular to the Order, the Vow of Victim to the Divine Justice and Mercy of Christ, and the Vow of Obedience to the Pope. The Superior General of the Order of Atonement of the Franciscan Minims of the Perpetual Help of Mary is the Pope, so Christ instructed the young María Concepción Zúñiga López regarding the focus of the work of the Franciscan Minims for the Holy See, which included living and preaching the Gospel in word, work and prayer to end schism within the Church and to catechize and convert schismatics, apostates, and those who had, in any way, separated themselves from the Church and the Vicar of Christ. Without exception, Mother María Concepción began all her writings and correspondence with the words: "Long Live the Vicar of Christ". Paul VI (1963-1978) was the incumbent Pope during the Second Foundation of the Order of Atonement in Mexico City.

María Concepción held that the work of the Apostolate of a Franciscan Minim Nun begins with their motto "Charity and Immolation" through Perpetual eucharistic adoration in union with the Eucharistic Victim Heart of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament. She and the Minim Nuns associated with the Order of Atonement of the mfPS live a religious life that is both active and contemplative. They have a special focus on catechizing Catholic mothers and women living in the world through frequent religious conferences and retreats for women given by the nuns.


The Order which began as a "Pious Union"Code of Canon Law after 1983 uses the term Associations of the faithfulsodality on October 2, 1942, never ceased to exist canonically even though it was disbanded on October 23, 1951, by Bishop Jose G. Anaya. Canonical status was reaffirmed in Rome under Pope Paul VI on October 30, 1963, after Mother María Concepción travelled to Rome under the auspices of the same Bishop of Zamora who had earlier disbanded the first Foundation. With the express authorization of the Sacred Congregation of Religious, dated October 1963, the Order was founded a second time in Chilapa, Guerrero, Mexico in January 1964. Again, it received approval as a Pious Union in Mexico on September 1, 1964, after being placed under the protection of a Mexican Bishop, Fidel de Sta Maria Cortes Perez, whom the Pope introduced to Mother María Concepción while she was in Rome. Pope Paul VI assigned this Bishop to assist the foundress during a visit to Rome in October 1963 to ask Pope Paul VI for his help to re-establish the Order and to give it his full papal approval. Following the death of Pope Paul VI and of several bishops involved with promoting the Order, and the intervention of some Mexican prelates in Mexico and in the Vatican who opposed the Order's receiving direct Papal institution, approval and direction, the status of this request is still pending

Fidel Sta Maria Cortes Perez, Bishop of Chilapa, wrote on September 1, 1964 (the Feast of Saint Anna the Prophetess, said to have been present when Mary and Joseph presented the Baby Jesus in the Temple 40 days after His Birth):

"Considering the good conduct, the noble goals that are proposed to atone to the Lord for the sins of men, of encouraging the spirit of prayer and of some other apostolates by the letter herewith,

WE APPROVE the Pious Union of the Franciscan Minims of the Perpetual Help of Mary, established in this city."

In 1963, just prior to the end of her exclaustration María Concepción Zúñiga López wrote in a brief autobiography of her life about the founding of the Order of Atonement, which she handed to Pope Paul VI during her first meeting with this Vicar of Christ:


That is why, one of the mysteries, the most easily comprehensible — if the expression fits for the human mind — is to teach souls the value of suffering, of their voluntary crucifixion in union with Him, Christ immolated. That is, Victimhood to Divine Justice. And here again I emphasize and urge very fervently, pleading and asking for the approbation of the Order of Atonement, so that being spread all over the world, it may spread, on its part, that devotion that will save the world on the day of final judgment.

And if, so that this might be, it would be better that I were not on earth, so that the immense joy of seeing that ideal realized might not detract from the glory of God or the good of my soul, I believe that if Your Holiness were to ask God to take me, He would do so. For being then with Him, there would be no danger of vanity and everything would be for His greater glory.

— María Concepción Zúñiga López, My Best Book (October 3, 1963) translated from the Spanish by Sor San Andres

Mother María Concepción died on October 15, the Feast of Saint Teresa of Avila, in 1979.

Historic delays and setbacks to the Order

While Mother María Concepción was still alive but after the death of the bishop of the Zamora foundation, the new bishop in the years following c. 1949–1952 along with some of the younger nuns wished to make changes to the Order that were not consistent with, and actually contradicted, what the foundress said Christ had told her. The foundress refused to compromise, and the Order was suppressed.

During the next 12 years of exclaustration Mother María Concepción documented that Jesus Christ made it clear to her that he had inspired others elsewhere worldwide regarding the formation of this Work of Atonement and Legion of Victim Souls. She later published and circulated to a subscription readership that extended worldwide that Christ had warned her that if Mexican prelates and others in Mexico continued to fail to establish "His" Order of Atonement, Christ would not be prevented meanwhile from, at the same time, inspiring others to do "His Will" elsewhere.


After the death of Mother María Concepción of the Nativity and the Perpetual Help of Mary, some in Mexico City who continued to live within the community in this Pious Union, along with others exterior to the community, gradually altered the Rule and Constitutions weakening the observance of the Primitive Rule of Saint Francis and such obligations as voting for a new Superior to direct the community on a regular basis. Eventually, spiritual direction and funding from those no longer in union with the Holy See provided the luxury of following a more comfortable devotional life along with the ability to develop properties in Mexico City and elsewhere. Notably, deletions and alterations in the writings of the Foundress and Founding documents began to be published.

— Sor San Andres paraphrased from, Letters & Chron (1971-2017)

Such developments remain Secular institutes (some in union with the Holy See but others not in union, that is, in either material or formal schism). They offer their own singular vision and interpretation of the Work of Atonement and those living within or exterior to these institutions freely exercise their own interpretation of the Work of Atonement , to grow in perfection and the Charity of Christ.

Church approval can be delayed whenever interior locution or visions of Jesus and Mary are alleged. María Concepción was favored from the time of her First Holy Communion with these more unusual supernatural gifts. In 1932, at the age of 18, while still living a secular life in her family home in Jalisco and ten (10) years before the First Foundation of the Order in Zamora, María Concepción had a Vision, after which she illustrated and explained the Symbolic Image of the Divine Justice.Symbolic Image of the Divine Justice and the explanation of the Vision with several imprimaturs including the most recent imprimatur of Fidel Sta Maria Cortes Perez, the Bishop of Chilapa, who was appointed by Pope Paul VI in 1963 to protect the Second Foundation of the Order along with its growth in Mexico City after the Founding Nuns moved from their temporary residence in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Chilpancingo-Chilapa to property donated for a permanent Monastery in the Federal District in the Tepeyac hills behind the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Golden-naped woodpecker

The golden-naped woodpecker (Melanerpes chrysauchen) is a species of bird in the woodpecker family Picidae. The species is very closely related to the beautiful woodpecker, which is sometimes treated as the same species. The two species, along with several other species, are sometimes placed in the genus Tripsurus.

It is found in Costa Rica and western Panama, where it is found on the Pacific slopes of those countries. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and heavily degraded former forest. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as "least concern".

Description

The golden-naped woodpecker grows to a length of about 18 cm (7 in). It is similar in appearance to the beautiful woodpecker but their ranges do not overlap. The sexes are similar apart from the male having a yellow fore-crown and a red central-crown, while the whole crown of the female is yellow except for a narrow central transverse black band. Both sexes have a yellow nape, and a black mask surrounding the eyes and running to the nape. There is a small white patch behind the eye. The lores, cheeks, chin, throat and breast are pale yellow, buff or grey. The lower breast, belly and flanks are barred in black and white, and there is a red patch on mid-belly. The mantle is mainly black and the wings brownish, with the tips of the flight feathers white. The back and rump are mainly white, sometimes blotched with black, and the tail is black with white barring on the outer feathers. The iris is brown, the beak is greyish-black and the legs are greyish-olive.

Distribution and habitat

Endemic to Central America, the golden-naped woodpecker is restricted to the Pacific slopes of southwestern Costa Rica and western Panama, at altitudes ranging from sea level to about 1,500 m (5,000 ft). It is a forest species found in primary humid rainforest, especially open areas with tall trees, woodland edges, secondary forests and plantations and degraded areas in close proximity to natural forest. It is a non-migratory species.

Ecology


Golden-naped woodpecker

Ecology

The diet of the golden-naped woodpecker consists largely of fruit, including dates, bananas, figs and Cecropia fruits. The bird also forages on tree trunks for insects such as beetle larvae, and particularly at dusk, sallies high in the air to catch winged termites and other flying insects.

Status

No particular threats have been identified for this woodpecker, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the population is thought to be steady. Although it has a restricted range, it is a common bird within that range, being estimated to have a total area of occupation of 23,800 km2 (9,200 sq mi). The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".

María Chiquinquirá

María Chiquinquirá Díaz (fl. 1794) was an Afroecuadorian woman who went to court in 1794 to reclaim her freedom and that of her daughter. She was able to persuade the court in Gobierno de Guayaquil

Life

María Chiquinquirá Díaz, "a mulatto woman", was born in the Baba Canton in the 1700s.Presbyter Afonso Cepeda de Arizcum Elizondo.Guayaquil, where a variation of slavery known as jornal had developed. Although slaveowners were still ultimately in charge, the people they had enslaved received certain freedoms in exchange for paying their owners a fee, or jornal, every day. Enslaved people like Chiquinquirá would work in private houses, and many other enslaved people at the time worked alongside free workers in the shipyards.

After her mother contracted leprosy, Chiquinquirá was abandoned by her owners. Her mother eventually died, leaving Chiquinquirá and her sibling as orphans. At this point they were destitute, but technically free people. The two children were adopted by a native Equadorian and looked after until their new guardian was enslaved by the Cepeda family, making Chiquinquirá and her sibling de facto their property.

In May 1794, Chiquinquirá was being treated as a slave by Afonso Cepeda. At this point, she decided to present her case to a court in Guayaquil and demand to be treated as a free woman. The legal basis of Chiquinquirá's court case was that her mother had been abandoned by her owners, making her technically manumitted. This meant that she had been technically freed and, crucially, this free status was inherited by Chiquinquirá as one of her children.

Chiquinquirá appealed to the Real Audiencia of Quito, the highest court, which took the case but did not resolve the dispute. Chiquinquirá was allowed her freedom until the case could be heard. One version says that the case was never heard as vital documents were lost,

Death and legacy

Chiquinquirá is regarded as a national hero.

Lucasfilm Limited v Ainsworth [2011] UKSC 39 was a 2011 court ruling by the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.Stormtrooper costumes by model maker Andrew Ainsworth.

The character was conceived by George Lucas, designed by artist Ralph McQuarrie, sculpted by Liz MooreBrian Muir,Lucasfilm to sue for infringement of copyright.defaulted. Accordingly, the United States District Court for the Central District of California gave summary judgement in favour of Lucasfilm, awarding a USD $20 million compensation.

In the English courts, Lucasfilm was represented by Michael Bloch QC and Jonathan Sumption QC.

Court ruling

The Supreme Court ruled that the Stormtrooper helmets could not be considered a sculpture for the purposes of section 4 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.in personam jurisdiction over a defendant, an English court does have jurisdiction in this area. On this point, the case was distinguished from British South Africa v Companhia de Mocambique,

As part of their conclusions on the justiciability question, Lord Walker and Lord Collins stated:

We have come to the firm conclusion that, in the case of a claim for infringement of copyright of the present kind, the claim is one over which the English court has jurisdiction, provided that there is a basis for in personam jurisdiction over the defendant, or, to put it differently, the claim is justiciable. It is clear that much of the underpinning of the Moçambique rule and the decision in Potter v Broken Hill Pty Co LtdMoçambique rule (except to the extent that it is modified by the Brussels I Regulation) is that there is no jurisdiction in proceedings for infringement of rights in foreign land where the proceedings are "principally concerned with a question of the title, or the right to possession, of that property".

They went on further to state:


Lucasfilm Ltd v Ainsworth

They went on further to state:

The basis for what remains of the rule was said by the House of Lords in the Moçambique case to be that controversies should be decided in the country of the situs of the property because the right of granting it was vested in "the ruler of the country" and in the Hesperides case to be the maintenance of comity and the avoidance of conflict with foreign jurisdictions. It is possible to see how the rationale of the Moçambique rule can be applied to patents, at any rate where questions of validity are involved.

Metro Cave / Te Ananui Cave

Ananui Creek entrance

The Metro / Te Ananui Caves are a maze of limestone caves formed by the underground capture of Ananui Creek, a tributary of the Waitakere / Nile River. The caves are located in the Paparoa National Park in New Zealand, managed by the Department of Conservation. Parts of the cave system are accessible by cave tours and rafting, operated by a commercial tour operator out of Charleston.

History

The karst landscape in the area was under the sea some 30 million years ago, then pushed upwards over time. Over the past 200,000 years, weathering and water have been dissolving the limestone and shaping both the surface as well as the underground. Te Ananui Cave contains fossils and bones carbon-dated to between 300 and 25,000 years old, as well as shellfish fossils in the limestone itself.

Geography

Tours from Charleston access Te Ananui Caves via a 3 km narrow road, followed by a bush tram ride and a short walk. The walking track crosses the Waitakere or Nile River on a suspension bridge to reach the Triclops entrance halfway up the side of the Nile River valley.

Metro Cave / Te Ananui Cave

The passages of the 8 km Metro complex get younger from west to east, following the pattern of cave development. Over time as the land has lifted, the upper levels of the cave system have become dry and have grown various cave formations, while the lower levels continue to be shaped and changed by the underground streams flowing through them. An easily navigable dry passage leads from the Triclops entrance to the Ananui Creek entrance.

Recreation

A tour company based in Charleston offers several options for exploring the Te Ananui Caves, ranging from a guided walking tour of the upper levels including the Nile River Glowworm Cave, to underground rafting and adventure caving. A bush tram track was commissioned in 2002 for transport of visitors from the road end to near the cave entrance.


Metro Cave / Te Ananui Cave

The caves themselves are left in their natural state, with no ladders or suspended walkways, however, the terrain of the upper levels is easy to walk on, comparable to a tramping track. The cave system features several caverns containing stalactites, stalagmites and drapery and can be walked through from one entrance to the other in one hour at a leisurely pace. Near the Ananui Creek entrance, a partially submerged grotto is inhabited by glowworms and cave weta. The grotto can be accessed by foot on dry ground along the edges.

Cave rafting tours explore the wetter parts of the cave system on inflatable tubes, continuing down the gentle rapids of the Nile River.

Lunch pail Democrat

In United States politics, the term lunch pail Democrat, lunchbox Democrat, or lunchbucket Democrat refers to members of the Democratic Party of a "blue collar" or working-class background,The Boston Globe summarized the term as "a label that connotes an absence of lofty philosophical concerns in favor of a concern for people's more basic needs".

The term lunchpail is also used more broadly as a metaphor for the working class, and in addition to Democrat is paired with other terms, such as lunch pail liberal or lunch pail socialism.

History

The Oxford Dictionary of American Political Slang notes the term "lunch-pailers" being used to refer to laborers in a political context as early as 1958, and "lunch-pail liberals and Progressive Democrats" used in 1992.

Politicians

Among the traits associated with lunch-pail Democratic politicians are:

  * Support for full employment even at the risk of deficit spending
  * Populist appeals to working-class and lower middle class families

Applications

Hubert Humphrey

  * Hubert Humphrey was described as the "last of the lunch-pail Democrats" in 1982 by New York magazine.
  * Al Gore's efforts during his 1992 campaign have been described as: "determined to cast himself as an old school, labor lunch-pail Democrat in the tradition of Hubert Humphey and Walter Mondale. This strategy was problematic in a number of ways, not least because it wasn't particularly convincing."
  * Democratic politician and eventual 56th governor of Mississippi, Cliff Finch used the emblem of a lunch-pail with his name upon it in his campaigns.
  * During the 2008 Presidential primaries, Hillary Clinton was described as "transforming herself into a white lunch-pail populist, knocking back whiskey shots in Indiana."
  * Spiro Agnew was described as "Nixon's ambassador to the lower middle class, to the blue-collar American — the people who voted Democratic in the past, the people we used to call lunch-pail Democrats."

Henry Dicks

Henry Victor Dicks (1900 – 12 July 1977) was a British psychiatrist. He drew on his wartime experiences, which included the medical care of Rudolf Hess, to develop views on authoritarian personality and the collective psychopathology of authoritarian regimes.

Life

Henry Dicks was born at Pernau, in the Governorate of Livonia of the Russian Empire (now Estonia) in 1900. His father was an English exporter and shipowner who also acted as British Vice-Counsul, and his mother came from an academic Baltic German family.Riga and St Petersburg,Russian Revolution he was able to speak English, Russian, and German fluently, as well as speaking some French.

After serving as an interpreter with Military Intelligence with the British Expeditionary Force in North Russia, and then with the British Military Mission in South Russia and the Caucasus,St John's College, Cambridge and medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital. In 1928 he joined the recently founded Tavistock Clinic, rising to become Assistant Medical Director there from 1934 to 1946, and publishing a psychiatric textbook in 1939.

In 1941 he joined the British Army as a Specialist Psychiatrist. Because of his ability to speak German, he was charged with medical care of Rudolf Hess in May to June 1941.SHAEF on psychological warfare and from 1945 to 1946 he advised the Control Commission for Germany on de-Nazification.

In 1946 Dicks was appointed the first Nuffield Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Leeds, but returned to the Tavistock in 1948, and remained there until 1965 as Deputy Director and Consultant Psychiatrist in charge of the Marital Unit. From 1966 to 1970 he was a Senior Research Officer at the Centre for Research in Collective Psychopathology, University of Sussex.

His work in de-Nazification led to his writing a book entitled Licensed Mass Murder - a sociopsychological study of some SS killers. This was contributed to the Centre for Research in Collective Psychopathology at Sussex University.

In the late 1970s, he was the chair of the Campaign Against Psychiatric Abuse.

He participated with fellow campaigners in a 1976 protest outside the Soviet Embassy in London following the arrest of Vladimir Borisov. There he was quoted as saying -


Henry Dicks

British psychiatrists learn with horror of the shameful re-arrest and mistreatment of Vladimir Borisov in your hospital... Unless this ceases, your names will be linked in history with the Nazis, whose methods you have copied. Shame on you and your contemptible masters.

His papers are held at the Wellcome Library in London.

Joaquin quartz monzonite

The Joaquin quartz monzonite is a Mesoproterozoic pluton in northern New Mexico. Radiometric dating gives it an age of 1460 million years, corresponding to the Calymmian period.

Description

The unit is a pink fine- to medium-grained rock with microcline megacrysts in some locations. It is subtly foliated in some locations, particularly to the south. The lithology was originally assessed as granitic with some quartz monzonite. The modal composition is 40 to 50 percent microcline-microperthite, 18 to 21 percent plagioclase (An24), 24 to 37 percent quartz, 2 to 3 percent biotite, and 1 percent muscovite. Present as accessories are opaque minerals, chlorite, sericite, myrmekite apatite, sphene, zircon, and epidote. Microcline crystals are typically 0.5 to 1.0 mm across.

The pluton crops out in the Nacimiento Mountains of northern New Mexico, a region of numerous overlapping plutons emplaced in metasedimentary and metavolcanic beds that may correlate with the Vadito Group.

Margins with the San Miguel gneiss to the north are sharp and chilled, with dikes extending into the gneiss and roof pendants of gneiss in the quartz monzonite. There are indications the pluton was emplaced as a magma and that stoping and assimilation were important in accommodation.

History of investigation

The unit was first described as the Joaquin Granite by Woodward et al. in their 1974 survey of the Precambrian rocks of the southern Nacimiento Mountains. It was named for exposures in Joaquin Canyon ( 35°46′41″N 106°52′30″W / 35.778°N 106.875°W)et al. referred to it as the Joaquin quartz monzonite in a review article in 2004et al..

Monster: Living Off the Big Screen

First edition (publ. Random House)

Monster: Living Off the Big Screen is a 1997 book in which John Gregory Dunne recounts his experiences as a screenwriter in Hollywood.Up Close & Personal (1996), a movie starring Robert Redford and Michelle Pfeiffer.Jessica Savitch ends up being a Star Is Born-type film, where one character is a "rising star," and the person she/he is in love with becomes a "falling star."

Critical reception

The Guardian called Monster "among the funniest, cruellest and most 'New York' takes on the fate of writers in the Hollywood system. Contemptuous of so much of what he saw, yet unwilling to detach himself from his own role in the process, which turned a dark, amoral tale of psychological disintegration into a feel-good vehicle for Robert Redford, Dunne wrote a classic."

Pyramidella panamensis

Pyramidella panamensis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.

Description

The slender shell has an elongate-conic shape. Its color is horn-yellow, excepting the body whorl which is suffused with, pale rose-purple. Its length measures 8.8 mm. The 2½ whorls of the protoconch are small and form a depressed helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is a little more than half immersed. The twelve whorls of the teleoconch are flattened. They are flatly shouldered at the summit, which is crenulated and decidedly channeled at the periphery. They are marked on the posterior half by feeble riblets which disappear before reaching the middle of the whorl. The sutures are strongly channeled. The periphery of the body whorl has a deep sulcus, which is crossed by numerous very slender and closely spaced axial riblets. The base of the shell is well rounded, with a strong fasciole about the columella. The aperture is oval. The posterior angle is acute, and slightly channeled anteriorly. The outer lip is thin. The columella is slender, and revolute. It is provided with a lamellar posterior fold at the insertion of the columella, and two equally slender, very oblique ones anterior to it.

Distribution

This marine species occurs in the Pacific Ocean off Panama Bay.

Geometric constraint solving

Geometric constraint solving is constraint satisfaction in a computational geometry setting, which has primary applications in computer aided design.constraints between the elements, which could be non-parametric (tangency, horizontality, coaxiality, etc) or parametric (like distance, angle, radius). The goal is to find the positions of geometric elements in 2D or 3D space that satisfy the given constraints,

Geometric constraint solving became an integral part of CAD systems in the 80s, when Pro/Engineer first introduced a novel concept of feature-based parametric modeling concept.

There are additional problems of geometric constraint solving that are related to sets of geometric elements and constraints: dynamic moving of given elements keeping all constraints satisfied,

Methods

A general scheme of geometric constraint solving consists of modeling a set of geometric elements and constraints by a system of equations, and then solving this system by non-linear algebraic solver. For the sake of performance, a number of decomposition techniques could be used in order to decrease the size of an equation set:

Some other methods and approaches include the degrees of freedom analysis,

Non-linear equation systems are mostly solved by iterative methods that resolve the linear problem at each iteration, the Newton-Raphson method being the most popular example.

Applications

Geometric constraint solving has applications in a wide variety of fields, such as computer aided design, mechanical engineering, inverse kinematics and robotics,

Software implementations

The list of geometric constraint solvers includes at least

  * DCM (Dimensional Constraint Manager),Siemens PLM Software), integrated in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Creo, and many other popular CAD systems;
  * LGS,Cimatron E and BricsCAD;
  * C3D Solver,C3D Toolkit, integrated into KOMPAS-3D;
  * GeoSolver,GNU Public License Python package for geometric constraint solving.

Numerous leading actors and performers participated in its episodes. The hosts and producers were Jerzy Wasowski and Jeremi Przybora, the two aging male Polish actors mentioned in the cabaret's name. Their performances gained a country-wide popularity.

Monumento de Santiago

The Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración (Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration) is a monument in the city of Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic. It is the highest building in Santiago, and a major tourist attraction for the area. The monument is located on a hill in the middle of Santiago, with views of the city and surrounding mountains. It also has a surrounding park.

History

It was originally built during the dictatorship of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo in 1944 as El Monumento a la Paz de Trujillo ("Trujillo's Monument to Peace"). He ordered its construction in his own honor. Symbolically, the monument was built for the centennial anniversary of the Dominican War of Independence, which was fought in 1844 to gain sovereignty from Haiti.

People near the monument.

After Trujillo's assassination in 1961, the government changed the name of the monument to "Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración" (Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration). It is now dedicated to the heroes of the Dominican Restoration War, fought from 1863 to 1865 against Dominican Loyalist and Spanish forces. The heroes include (but are not limited to) Juan Pablo Duarte, Francisco del Rosario Sánchez and Gregorio Luperón.

Geometric finiteness

In geometry, a group of isometries of hyperbolic space is called geometrically finite if it has a well-behaved fundamental domain. A hyperbolic manifold is called geometrically finite if it can be described in terms of geometrically finite groups.

Geometrically finite polyhedra

A convex polyhedron C in hyperbolic space is called geometrically finite if its closure C in the conformal compactification of hyperbolic space has the following property:

  * For each point x in C, there is a neighborhood U of x such that all faces of C meeting U also pass through x (Ratcliffe 1994, 12.4).

For example, every polyhedron with a finite number of faces is geometrically finite. In hyperbolic space of dimension at most 2, every geometrically finite polyhedron has a finite number of sides, but there are geometrically finite polyhedra in dimensions 3 and above with infinitely many sides. For example, in Euclidean space Rn of dimension n≥2 there is a polyhedron P with an infinite number of sides. The upper half plane model of n+1 dimensional hyperbolic space in Rn+1 projects to Rn, and the inverse image of P under this projection is a geometrically finite polyhedron with an infinite number of sides.

A geometrically finite polyhedron has only a finite number of cusps, and all but finitely many sides meet one of the cusps.

Geometrically finite groups

A discrete group G of isometries of hyperbolic space is called geometrically finite if it has a fundamental domain C that is convex, geometrically finite, and exact (every face is the intersection of C and gC for some g ∈ G) (Ratcliffe 1994, 12.4).

In hyperbolic spaces of dimension at most 3, every exact, convex, fundamental polyhedron for a geometrically finite group has only a finite number of sides, but in dimensions 4 and above there are examples with an infinite number of sides (Ratcliffe 1994, theorem 12.4.6).

In hyperbolic spaces of dimension at most 2, finitely generated discrete groups are geometrically finite, but Greenberg (1966) showed that there are examples of finitely generated discrete groups in dimension 3 that are not geometrically finite.

Geometrically finite manifolds

A hyperbolic manifold is called geometrically finite if it has a finite number of components, each of which is the quotient of hyperbolic space by a geometrically finite discrete group of isometries (Ratcliffe 1994, 12.7).

Joaquin Ridge

Joaquin Ridge is a ridge in the Diablo Range in Fresno County, California. The ridge is named for Joaquin Murietta (1830-1853), a California Gold Rush bandit, leader of the Five Joaquins Gang, who used this region as a rendezvous and camp that overlooked the gangs base at the Rancho de Cantua. 36°19′48″N 120°34′09″W / 36.33000°N 120.56917°W, east of Spanish Lake,Joaquin Rocks 36°19′11″N 120°27′32″W / 36.31972°N 120.45889°W, 36°18′15″N 120°24′11″W / 36.30417°N 120.40306°W near 3,629-foot Black Mountain at 36°18′16″N 120°24′12″W / 36.30444°N 120.40333°W the high point on the south southeast trending Anticline Ridge.Ragged ValleyBig Blue Hills and on the southwest by Portuguese Canyon.4,701 feet (1,433 meters), 0.64 km (0.40 mi) east of Spanish Lake.
