Feminists Fighting Pornography

Feminists Fighting Pornography (FFP,political activist organization against pornography. It advocated for United States Federal legislation to allow lawsuits against the porn industry by women whose attackers were inspired by pornography. FFP was based in New York, N.Y., was founded in 1983

Issue positions

FFP opposed pornography. It is defined as the sexualized degrading, dominating, humiliating, objectifying, subjugating, violating, annihilating, exploiting, or violence and is distinguished from erotica, which is based on mutuality of power and pleasure.incest, assault, and rape, results in the objectification of women, affects women's ability to get equal rights and equal pay and encourages men associate sex with violence.letter to the editor of The Wall Street Journal, an FFP member asserted that the members are "not against love and not against sex."

Mellish held all men and women who did not fight against pornography as accountable for violence against women, and claimed that women who enjoyed pornography or rough sex had "internalized the male definition of power".

Positions on pornography have been debated outside of FFP, including with respect to porn's effect on crime and feminist definitions of porn.

Leadership

FFP's founder and organizer was Page Mellish,Women Against Pornography,National Organization for Women, both of San Francisco, California.

Legislative agenda

Feminists Fighting Pornography supported the Pornography Victims Compensation Act of 1991.Andrea Dworkin, Catharine MacKinnon,Larry King show, where she credited executed serial killer of women Ted Bundy, who claimed pornography as an influence, with bringing attention to the issue.bill, a person who was attacked after the attacker was substantially spurred by pornography could sue the pornography's producers, publishers, distributors, exhibitors, and sellers without needing a prior criminal charge for the pornography itself. To be pragmatic toward passage, the bill was limited to child pornography and obscene material.criticized.

Feminists Fighting Pornography

In other legislative matters:

  * FFP also supported the anti-pornography civil rights ordinance supported by Andrea Dworkin and Catharine MacKinnon.
  * It did not support anti-obscenity laws, because, in FFP's view, they did not address the harm of porn.
  * Legislation alone was not a complete solution, according to Page Mellish; it was also necessary to remove "the need for porn".

Congressional testimony

Page Mellish, testifying to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991 as "a professional activist .... employed ... [by] Feminists Fighting Pornography", [sic] Day magazine ... reported being sexually abused as a direct result of pornographic materials[noncensoring because it imposed "no prior restraint or State empowerment"

Congress is required to have a rational basis for legislation that, without it, might violate a right of a person under the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment but is not required to validate scientific conclusions to the same degree that may be required in academic science; rather, the legislative reasoning must not be arbitrary. This testimony stated the position in 1991 of Feminists Fighting Pornography and was noted by the American Bar Association's ABA Journal.

Strategy

FFP did not advocate burning porn parlors down, as was done in England, but advocated for men not going to such places. Mellish preferred to organize marches instead, because she believed her ability to be grassroots organizing: "Even bombing porn houses only gets their attention; then we have to change men's view of women, change their idea of power."Penthouse, which advertised in New York City Subway stations.underground economy, but not to destroy it completely.

Murrays' Mills is a complex of former cotton mills on land between Jersey Street and the Rochdale Canal in the district of Ancoats, Manchester, England. The mills were built for brothers Adam and George Murray.

The first mill on the site, Old Mill, was begun in 1797,

In 1898, A & G Murray became part of the Fine Cotton Spinners' and Doublers' Association Limited (FCSDA). The mill complex began to decline in the early 20th century as the canal basin was filled in and Little Mill burnt down. The mill was replaced with the earliest mill in Greater Manchester that was built to use mains electricity.Urban Splash redeveloped Fireproof and Doubling Mill into offices, winning a RIBA Award. The rest of the complex underwent a £17M regeneration between 2004 and 2006 and are proposed to be used as flats and a hotel.

History

Foundation and establishment

Old and Decker Mills standing above the canal. Doubling Mill is also visible to the rear.

After migrating from Scotland in the 1780s, the Murrays established themselves as manufacturers of textile machinery before moving into spinning fine yarn. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries the main market for Murrays' fine spun yarn was the muslin-weaving industry in Scotland;millwright Thomas Lowe – who had worked on Richard Arkwright's first two factories – planned the building.storeys high and probably the first cotton-spinning factory to have been built that high.105 feet (32 m) by 42 feet (13 m), was built of 400,000 locally made bricks. horse power (hp), £620 Boulton and Watt steam engine.

After the completion of the Ancoats section of the Rochdale Canal in 1804, raw materials no longer had to be moved by cart.14 feet (4.3 m) wide, it posed navigation problems for canal boats, which could be 70 feet (21 m) in length.

Construction of New Mill was probably completed in 1804.193 feet (59 m) by 46 feet (14 m) and as with the older mills, it was eight storeys high. hp steam engines from Boulton and Watt.

The complex was further extended with the addition of two four-storey blocks on Murray Street and Bengal Street by 1806.

By 1806, the Murrays' Mills was the largest mill complex in Manchester and the world.mule spindles the complex was huge compared to others at the time, most of which had less than 10,000 spindles.

A & G Murray prospered during the early 19th century, and in 1809 the firm was valued at £20,456: 13% more than their nearest rival, McConnel & Kennedy, and more than double the firm in third place.

Expansion

Additionally, the firm also expanded beyond Bengal Street further along the strip of land between Jersey Street and the Rochdale Canal.644 square metres (6,930 sq ft) and just over half of this area would have been occupied by a gasometer house which would have supplied the complex with gas used for lighting.Joshua Field visited the mill in 1821 and commented "they spin the finest thread". He also noted that the furnace which provided steam to drive the engines had been fitted with a "smoke burner" to "lessen the consumption of fuel", also having the effect of reducing the amount of smoke produced.

Despite the continued expansion, by 1824 competitors McConnel and Kennedy had overtaken the Murrays as Manchester's biggest cotton spinners.

Decline and later use

An 1891 Ordnance Survey map shows that the arm on the Rochdale Canal had been filled in and the complex's canal basin had been retitled as a reservoir, suggesting that the canal had ceased to be used as a way of transporting goods to and from the complex.

Between 1902 and 1903, Old and Decker Mills were reduced in height by 1 storey to 7 storeys and New Mill was reduced in height by 2 storeys to 6 storeys. The exact reason for this reduction is unknown, however, it is speculated that the structure of the buildings was struggling to cope with the weight of increasingly heavy machinery. This theory is given added weight by the fact that at around the same time the timber beams used to support ceilings were replaced with steel beams to strengthen the building.buttresses were constructed against the south wall of Decker Mill.


Murrays' Mills

By the 1940s Fireproof Mill and Doubling Mill were occupied by a bedding manufacturer. In 1948, the break-up of the main site began with Old Mill and Decker Mill being sold, with the Murray Street block following in 1950, and the Bengal Street block in 1960. Old and Decker Mill were used as a warehouse after 1954 and later used by several clothing manufacturers.

Although some work was done to strengthen the structure in the 1960s, the complex was allowed to fall into disrepair.

Redevelopment

In 2000, Total Architecture appointed Urban Splash to convert Fireproof and Doubling Mill into office space.RIBA Award.

The North West Development Agency used a compulsory purchase order to take control of the main site in 2003. This allowed the Heritage Lottery Fund to give a £7.164M grant towards the restoration of the complex. Together with an additional grant from the North West Development Agency, a £10M regeneration project took place between 2004 and 2006. The project included repair and strengthening of the structure, the restoration of the canal basin, a new roof and windows, and the reinstatement of two missing floors from the Murray Street block.

On completion of the repairs, there have been further proposals to bring the complex back into use by converting it into flats and a hotel. The conversion, including the replacement of the demolished Bengal Street block, was expected to start in 2007 or 2008 and take three years.

Manchester Life Development Corporation – a joint venture between Manchester City Council and Abu Dhabi Group - took over the site in 2013. They employed Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios to renovate the existing historic buildings with the aim of turning ‘the first industrial neighbourhood in the world’ into a lively residential neighbourhood.

Wing Mill, which had been destroyed by fire in the 1990s was replaced by a new-build block, and the historic mill buildings were converted into 123 apartments and a townhouse in the former engine house building, set around a courtyard garden.

Working conditions

Like many factories of the nineteenth century, the complex was not without criticism for its working conditions.Cotton Mills, etc. Act 1825 reduced this to 69 hours – 12 hours per day on Monday to Friday and 9 hours on a Saturday. These hours were worked by all but the youngest employees.

The workers were allowed three breaks per day.


Murrays' Mills

The workers were allowed three breaks per day.

The worst conditions in the mill were experienced by those at the bottom end of the pay-scale.

On the spinning floors, the spinning process required a warm humid environment. George Murray stated that they tried to keep temperatures at around 24 °C (75 °F). Spinners were regarded as craftsmen, and they were paid by the amount they produced. They were also left to recruit, train and pay their own assistants. These assistants were often children, and consisted of "piecers" who rejoined broken threads and mule scavengers who cleaned the machinery.

Compared to other trades, wages in cotton mills were relatively high. In 1833, the average earnings of an employee at the complex was 12 shillings (60p) per week, which compared favourably with other mills.

Despite all this, evidence suggests that conditions were better than in some other mills. The complex had opening windows, and an extra room per floor for workers to wash.pauper children from workhouses,

Michel de Beaupuy

Armand-Michel Bacharetie de Beaupuy (14 July 1755 – 19 October 1796) was a French soldier. He rose in rank to command an infantry division during the Wars of the French Revolution. He was killed at the Battle of Emmendingen. His surname is one of the names inscribed under the Arc de Triomphe, on Column 18.

Life

Republican of noble blood

Michel Beaupuy was born in 1755 in a noble family of the Périgord. At age 16 he enlisted as a simple soldier in the King's army, and two years later he became second lieutenant in the regiment of Bassigny.

Republican soldier

Wounding of General Beaupuy at Château-Gontier (by Alexandre Bloch, 1888)

In 1792, as a commander of a battalion of volunteers from Dordogne, he was noticed and named brigade General in 1793. He participated in the siege of Mainz, then was sent to Vendée with the army of Mainz. He was victorious at the battle of La Tremblaye.

He participated in the Virée de Galerne during the War in the Vendée and was wounded a first time at Château-Gontier and a second time during the Siege of Angers.

In 1794 he was transferred to the army of the Rhine to fight in Germany, and was noticed at Gorick and Forsheim. He commanded the rear guard during the retreat of General Moreau through the Black Forest from Freiburg im Breisgau. It is there that he was killed by a cannonball during the Battle of Emmendingen, in Val d'Enfer.

Honors

Monument in Volgelsheim

Construction of the monument in Volgelsheim began in 1801. At the end of the 1850s, the monument was unfinished and covered in vegetation. Colonel Ferru had it restored and completed after his arrival in the area at the head of the 63rd infantry regiment in 1861. The expenses were covered by soldiers of the regiment and the towns of Neuf-Brisach and Mussidan. The monument was destroyed by the Germans in 1940, and inaugurated in its current form in 1979.

Richard Ayton

Richard Ayton (1786–1823), was an English dramatist and miscellaneous writer.

Life

Ayton was born in London in 1786 to William (d. 1799) and Mary Ayton. His father, a son of William Ayton, banker in Lombard Street, later moved to Macclesfield, Cheshire, and at its grammar school Ayton obtained a knowledge of Latin and Greek. In accordance with the wish of his father, who died in 1799, he was sent to study law at Manchester, and at the end of a year became the pupil of a barrister in London; but he never set himself seriously to prepare for a career. As soon as he came of age, he retired to the coast of Sussex, and resolved to live within his comparatively small income.

In 1811 he returned to London, and accepted a situation in a public office; but this he relinquished in 1813, to accompany William Daniell A.R.A., in a voyage round Great Britain. An account of the voyage, with views drawn and engraved by Daniell, appeared in 8 vols. folio, 1814–25; but the letterpress of only the first two volumes is by Ayton. Disagreeing with Daniell over his plans for the future volumes, Ayton declined to proceed further with the book, and started play-writing. Two of his farces, acted at Covent Garden, were failures; but he adapted from the French several pieces for the English Opera House with moderate success.

During a voyage between Scarborough and London, Ayton was nearly shipwrecked, and received an injury to his ankle which confined him to bed for more than a year. In the spring of 1821 he was sufficiently recovered to go to the coast of Sussex, but his health continued uncertain and precarious. In July 1823 his illness became serious; he moved for medical advice to London, but died shortly afterwards.

During the last 18 months of his life Ayton occupied himself with light-hearted essays, chiefly on pastimes. These, with a short memoir prefixed, were published in 1825.

Kleinwort Benson Ltd v Birmingham City Council

Kleinwort Benson Ltd v Birmingham CC [1996] 4 All ER 733 is an English unjust enrichment law case, concerning to what extent enrichment of the defendant must be at the expense of the claimant. It rejected a defence of "passing on" the gain against a claim of unjust enrichment.

Facts

Kleinwort Benson, a bank, paid Birmingham City Council money under interest rate swap agreements that were later declared to be ultra vires and void by the House of Lords.

Judgment

The Court of Appeal rejected that there could be a passing on defence. It rejected that there was any analogy to compensating for loss, so that it could be avoided or passed on. First, the payments received by the bank under the hedge contract were not causally connected with the payments of the bank under the swap contract. Second, the claims in unjust enrichment are not subject to a restriction on the defendant’s gain that it must correspond with loss.Evans LJ gave the leading judgment, referring to American, Australian and Canadian authority outlining the problems of a passing on defence. Saville LJ gave the second judgment.

He does not cease to be unjustly enriched because the payer for one reason or another is not out of pocket. His obligation to return the money is not based on any loss the payer may have sustained, but on the simple ground that it is unjust... [The phrase "at the expense of" describes] the need for the payer to show that his money was used to pay the payee... What this expression does not justify is the importation of concepts of loss or damage with their attendant concepts of mitigation, for these have nothing whatever to do with the reason why our law imposes an obligation on the payee to repay to the payer what he has no right to retain.

Morritt LJ concurred.

[The words at the expense of] ... do no more than point to the requirement that the immediate source of the unjust enrichment must be the plaintiff... [Subtraction relates to] ...the plaintiff’s gross wealth. The suggested defence of passing on would involve the different concept of a reduction in the net worth of the plaintiff.

Kitayama, Wakayama

Kitayama (北山村, Kitayama-mura) is an exclave village that belongs to Higashimuro District, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, but is located on the border between Mie and Nara Prefectures. It lies along the Kitayama River and has become a popular spot for log rafting.

As of 2016, the village has an estimated population of 432 and a density of 9 persons per km². The total area is 48.21 km².

Kitayama is the only remaining village in Wakayama Prefecture. Kitayama is known in Japan for growing a fruit called jabara,

History

Kitayama has a long history associated with logging, cutting trees and sending the timber to be sold in nearby Shingū. When the transition from the Edo period to the modern era of prefectures occurred, the people of Kitayama desired to remain a part of Wakayama prefecture due to their close connections with Shingu City, and as a result this request was granted and for this reason the village is now an exclave. In 2005, there were plans for the village to merge with Shingu but this was canceled.

Klein–Goldberger model

The Klein–Goldberger model was an early macroeconometric model for the United States developed by Lawrence Klein and Arthur Goldberger, Klein's doctoral student at the University of Michigan, in 1955.Keynesian macroeconomic theory, it describes the workings of the United States economy in terms of 20 simultaneous equations, using time series data from 1929 to 1952. The Klein–Goldberger model extended the pioneering work of Jan Tinbergen in the 1940s,Wharton models of the 1960s, or the Brookings model, with almost 400 equations.

The model was estimated with the limited information maximum likelihood method only, but alternative ordinary least squares estimations were provided by Karl A. Fox (1956).

In one of the earliest computational simulations of an econometric model, Irma and Frank Adelman (1959) tested the Klein–Goldberger model on an IBM 650 at the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory,shocked by disturbances, it generates fluctuations with the same characteristics as the business cycles observed in United States economic data.

After the outbreak of World War II, the Nazis took over the building and turned it into the headquarters of the Sicherheitspolizei and Sicherheitsdienst police forces. The whole street was closed to Poles.Pawiak prison. Prisoners were subject to brutal interrogations, during which they were tortured and severely beaten. Torture was no exception for any prisoner, and even pregnant women were beaten and tortured.

It is easy to speak about Poland.
It is harder to work for her.
Even harder to die for her.
And the hardest to suffer for her.

Many of the prisoners were killed during interrogations or died as a result of their injuries. During the Warsaw Uprising, the Germans mass executed thousands of Poles in the surrounding areas. Their corpses were later burned in neighbouring buildings. The extent of these killings were tremendous, human ashes found in the basement after the war weighed 5,578.5 kg (12,298 lb).

After the war the people of Warsaw treated the place as a cemetery, often bringing flowers and lighting candles.solitary cells were preserved in their original condition. In accordance with the testimonies of prisoners, a room of a Gestapo officer was recreated.Warsaw Insurgents Cemetery.

Museum visitors must be at least 14 years old.

George Browett

George F. Browett (1929 – November 1994) was a British trade union leader.

Born in Northampton, Northamptonshire, Browett began working in a footwear factory when he was sixteen. He joined the National Union of Boot and Shoe Operatives (NUBSO), and began working full-time as a union organiser in 1965. NUBSO became part of the National Union of the Footwear, Leather and Allied Trades (NUFLAT), and Browett continued in post. In 1988, he was elected as general secretary of the union, and he became prominent on the Trades Union Congress' Textile, Clothing and Footwear Industries Committee.

The footwear and leather industry was in decline, so, working with Bob Stevenson, Browett organised a merger between NUFLAT and the National Union of Hosiery and Knitwear Workers, forming the National Union of Knitwear, Footwear and Apparel Trades. He was appointed as the union's first general secretary, but retired in September 1992. He died two years later.

Pochano

Pochanos (fem. pochanas) are former Mexican citizens that are both Pochos and Chicanos at the same time.

Chicano (fem. chicana), originally a term used by native-born Mexicans to describe persons of low class, low education and low morals. The pejorative term has been taken on in the United States of America as unifying term for Mexican people that have emigrated to the US and seeking to solidify their identity in a foreign land. Perhaps because they have not been able to assimilate they have sought to create their own unifying identity.

Likewise, Pocho (fem. pocha) is a term used by native-born Mexicans to describe Chicanos who are perceived to have forgotten or rejected their Mexican heritage to some degree. Typically, pochos speak English and lack fluency in Spanish. Among some pochos, the concept has been embraced to express pride in having both a Mexican and an American heritage, asserting their place in the diverse American culture. The word derives from the Spanish word pocho, meaning fruit that has become rotten or discolored.

S-LINK

S-LINK, for simple link interface, is a high-performance data acquisition standard developed at CERN for collecting information from particle accelerators and other sources. Unlike similar systems, S-LINK is based on the idea that data will be collected and stored by computers at both ends of the link, as opposed to a "dumb" devices collecting data to be stored on a "smart" computer. Having a full computer at both ends allows S-LINK to be very thin, primarily defining the logical standards used to feed data at high speed from the motherboards to the link hardware interfaces.

S-LINK started in 1995 in response to problems collecting data from the new ATLAS experiment at CERN. ATLAS was extensively instrumented with stand-alone computers, which sent data via a variety of methods to be collected on various servers. S-LINK was seen as a way to provide a single mechanism for forwarding the data from the collection to the link hardware with extremely low latency. Generally the S-LINK hardware provided functionality that would normally be provided by networking (or other) drivers running on the host CPU, thereby tying up cycles and introducing delays.

S-LINK used a 32-bit bus running up to 66 MHz, allowing for throughout up to 264 MB/s. The "link side" was typically connected to optical fibre for transmission to the collecting machines, known as the read-out motherboard, or ROMB. Data could also be sent back to the front-end motherboard or FEMB, typically for flow control purposes at a much lower speed.

  * Kleinzeit – the central character, whose name means ‘smalltime’ in German
  * Sister – a nurse at the hospital, who begins a relationship with Kleinzeit
  * Redbeard – a homeless busker who leaves Kleinzeit a sheet of yellow paper, and ends up in the same hospital ward

Major themes

Kleinzeit's physical illness and his creative urges are linked in the novel, an identification strengthened by the fact that all the diseases suffered by patients on Kleinzeit's ward (ward A4, like the paper) are literary, geometric or musical terms: he himself has a painful hypotenuse and diapason and develops a faulty stretto, while other patients suffer from hendiadys or ‘imbricated noumena’. The terror and allure of creativity are symbolised by the mysterious yellow paper, which Redbeard passes on to Kleinzeit. Kleinzeit's relationship with a blank piece of paper is depicted as a sexual romance, with the writing process seen as a consummation, albeit that Kleinzeit is cuckolded by the personification of Word. Many abstract concepts are similarly personified, including Death, Hospital, the (London) Underground (which is associated with the myth of Orpheus), Action and God.

Greatest Hits is a greatest hits album by Australian rock band Spiderbait. The band decided to put out the compilation after discovering newer fans had not been aware of Spiderbait before "Black Betty". "We'd talk to these excited kids who didn't know our previous albums," recalls Kram. "It was like Tonight Alright was our debut album in some ways".

The sequencing of Greatest Hits was done in reverse order, with the new song "On My Way" at the start and "Circle K" from 1991 at the end. The album was released as a single-disc edition and also as a two-disc version. The second disc was a DVD with all of Spiderbait's music videos up to that point (except "On My Way").

Greatest Hits is a compilation album by the English band Roxy Music. It was released in 1977, when the band were on hiatus.

The band's first hit, "Virginia Plain", was re-released ahead of the album, peaking at number 11 in the UK (the original 1972 release had peaked at number 4). The edited version of "The Thrill of It All" is unique to this release, while the released single version (3:20) is available the 2012 boxed set Roxy Music: The Complete Studio Recordings. "Mother of Pearl" is an edit in that it does not crossfade into the next song, as it does on the 1973 album Stranded. The version of "Pyjamarama" on this collection is a remix of the original 1973 single which is also available on The Complete Studio Recordings, as well as the 1977 Polydor reissue of the "Virginia Plain" single.

Milkweed yellows phytoplasma

Milkweed yellows phytoplasma is a strain of phytoplasma in the class Mollicutes,bacteria distinguished by the absence of a cell wall. The phytoplasma strain is denoted by the acronym MW1.

Like all phytoplasmas, milkweed yellows phytoplasma is an obligate intracellular parasite, that is, it can not live outside of host cells. It spreads by means of an insect vector, the identity of which is unknown. In general, phytoplasmas spread via leafhoppers and other sap-sucking insects that transmit the pathogen from one host plant to another.

Taxonomy

In 1994, two strains of phytoplasmas that infect the common milkweed Asclepias syriaca (denoted MW1 and MW2) were shown to be members of the X-disease group (16Sr group III).Candidatus Phytoplasma pruni'-related strain of phytoplasma belonging to subgroup F (16SrIII-F).Vaccinium witches' broom phytoplasma (VAC, VacWB) and potato purple top phytoplasma (AKpot7). As of November 2021, milkweed yellows phytoplasma has not been formally described.

Milkweed yellows

Milkweed yellows is an infectious disease of milkweeds caused by the milkweed yellows phytoplasma. Other diseases caused by pathogens in subgroup 16SrIII-F include Vaccinium witches' broom, potato purple top, and a greening disorder of Trillium grandiflorum and other Trillium species.

Hosts

The common milkweed Asclepias syriaca and the periwinkle Catharanthus roseus are known plant hosts for milkweed yellows phytoplasma.

Giovanni Inzerillo

Giovanni Inzerillo (born in Brooklyn, New York, April 30, 1972), is a construction entrepreneur and son of Salvatore Inzerillo, a notorious Sicilian Mafia boss who was killed in May 1981 on the orders of Mafia boss Salvatore "Totò" Riina during the Second Mafia War.

After the Corleonesi Mafia clan killed his father, they also murdered his 15-year-old brother, Giuseppe. Giuseppe had vowed to avenge his father, and not long afterwards he was kidnapped, tortured and killed. A number of informants, including Tommaso Buscetta, said that it was Pino Greco who abducted him and shot him through the head, but first hacked his arm off, symbolically removing the arm the youngster had vowed to shoot Riina with.

When Totò Riina gave the instructions to exterminate the clan he made it quite clear: "Not even the pips must remain from the Inzerillo family".Gambino crime family, a deal was worked out that allowed the surviving Inzerillos to take refuge in the U.S., with the agreement that none of them, or their offspring, could ever return to Sicily.gli scappati" (the escapees).

George Brown (Benedictine)

George Brown (died 21 October 1618), who later adopted the religious name Gregory, was an English Benedictine and prior of St Laurence, Dieulouard. He was for some time identified as the anonymous translator of Life of St Mary Magdalen de' Pazzi (1619), an identification that is now challenged.

Biography

Brown was born in Essex, and spent two years at the English College, Douai. After this, he left to join the Order of Saint Benedict in Spain. In 1605, he was professed at the abbey of Santa Maria, in Obarnes, where he took the religious name of Gregory. From 1609 to 1610, Brown was the prior of the monastery of St Laurence, Dieulouard, in Lorraine.English Reformation, and trained Catholic missionaries for the conversion their home country.Athanasius Allanson, Brown was "a diligent promoter" of Benedictine religious houses in France and the Low Countries. From 1613 until his death, Brown resided at Chelles Abbey, joining Francis Walgrave and Augustine Bradshaw, who had been invited there by Abbess Marie de Lorraine as chaplains to the monastery.

Life of St Mary Magdalen de' Pazzi (1619)

The English translation of the Italian biography of Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi, Life of St Mary Magdalen de' Pazzi (1619), was attributed to Brown by 19th-century Catholic Historian, George Oliver. This identification was based on Oliver's misidentification of Brown as chaplain of the English Benedictine monastery, St Benet, Brussels, established by his misreading of the monastery's convent chronicle. As the original translation had been dedicated to Lady Mary Percy, abbess of the Brussels monastery,A. F. Allison and D. M. Rogers, in their Contemporary printed literature of the English Counter-Reformation (1989), instead identifying Tobie Matthew as a more likely candidate.
