Hohenhewen

The Hohenhewen, also called the Hohenhöwen or, colloquially, Höwen, is the local mountain of the town of Engen in the Hegau region of southern Germany.

Summit area

The summit of the Hohenhewen lies at 843.7 m above sea level (NHN)Hohenhewen Castle and a viewing platform built on the remains of the old bergfried, from where the other mountains and hills of the Hegau, Lake Constance and, to the north, the Swabian Jura, can be seen. In good visibility even the Alps and the Black Forest may be made out.

Ascent

The Hohenhewen may be ascended from Anselfingen to the north or Welschingen to the south. Whilst the northern ascent is fairly wide and comfortable (T1), the climb from Welschingen is much steeper and narrower and requires a certain degree of sure-footedness (T2). Good footwear is recommended.

Geology and nature conservation

Engen im Hegau, 1900 postcard

Like almost all Hegau mountains, the Hohenhewen has a volcanic origin. Its bedrock consists of basalt. A 39-hectare area on the Hohenhewen has been designated a nature reserve since 1982 and its steep eastern mountainside is of particular botanical interest.

Main article: Hohenhewen Nature Reserve

Meaning of the name

The name Hohenhewen is probably of Celtic origin: the Celtic word for a domed mountain is ceven. It is possible that the mountain, in turn, gave its name to the Hegau region (Hewengew).

George Henry Westmore (27 June 1879 – 12 July 1931) was an English hairdresser who emigrated to the United States with his family, including several relatives who became prominent in Hollywood. Specializing in wig-making, and later make-up, he established the first movie make-up department in 1917. In his youth, he spent eighteen months in the British Army cavalry during the Second Boer War.

Biography

Westmore was born on the Isle of Wight, off the southern coast of England. On 6 November 1899, he signed up for British Army service, requesting to be placed in the cavalry. He served with the 16th The Queen's Lancers in the Second Boer War. He was discharged from service on 22 April 1901, at the rank of Private, having been found medically unfit for further service. His character description at the time described him as "Very good, trustworthy and obliging man" and "a first rate hairdresser, has been in charge of the regimental shop".

Afterwards he became a hairdresser by trade,Winston Churchill's hair.Court of St. James's.Selig Polyscope Company, while at the same time, he made wigs,Triangle Film Corporation and freelance.Shirley Temple among others.

Borracho beans

Borracho beans used as bean dip with fresh salsa and tortilla chips

Borracho beans (from borracho meaning "drunk" or "drunken"), also referred to as drunken beans or frijoles borrachos, is a traditional dish of both Mexican and Southern Texas cuisines made of pinto beans cooked in beer and flavored with cilantro, onion, garlic, bacon, bacon fat, cumin, and chili powder or whole chili peppers. carne asada, eaten from a bowl much like chili, or used as a bean dip and eaten with tortilla chips. Variations on this dish in Mexican cuisine often substitute black beans instead of pinto beans.

Preparation

The beans are soaked overnight, drained, then dark beer is added along with bacon, bacon drippings, and other spices (cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, powdered or whole chili peppers) and enough water to cover the beans by a few inches, then cooked in a covered pot for 2-3 hours until the beans are tender. Southern Texas borracho bean recipes may include diced tomatoes added to the broth, and Mexican recipes often include the herb epazote. Borracho beans are sometimes served as an accompaniment to beef or chicken tacos, and cheese enchiladas.

Albert Whitlock

Albert J. Whitlock Jr. (15 September 1915 – 26 October 1999) was a British-born motion picture matte artist best known for his work with Disney and Universal Studios.

Life and career

Whitlock began his film career as a page at Gaumont Studios in London in 1929, before going on to build sets and work as a grip. Trained as a sign painter, he began an intermittent association with Alfred Hitchcock, assisting in the miniature effects for The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) and then completing all of the signs for The 39 Steps (1935).

Whitlock began working as a matte artist during World War II. Recruited by Walt Disney, who admired his work, he relocated to the United States in the early 1950s. At Disney, where the head of the Matte Department was fellow-Londoner and near-exact contemporary Peter Ellenshaw, he successfully mastered the impressionistic approach to matte painting for which he would become known. He remained with the studio for seven years, helping with the design of Disneyland as well as film work, before moving to Universal in 1961. There he served as the head of their matte department, resuming his collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock and many other directors, until retiring from the company in 1985 (though he continued to work on the odd production for a few years afterwards).

His most substantial achievement was the creation of over 70 individual matte paintings for the disaster film Earthquake (1974), for which he received an Academy Award. He won the Oscar again the following year for The Hindenburg, in which he re-created the great airship and its final voyage. Universal loaned out Whitlock and his team to other studios for visual effects work on films including Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, the David Lynch version of Dune, Mame, The Learning Tree and Bound for Glory. In the latter film, Whitlock created the famous Dust Storm with moving cotton-covered disks.

One of his last projects was John Carpenter's 1982 sci-fi film The Thing, where he reportedly painted all the shots of the uncovered alien starship, including both distant and close-up viewpoints.


Albert Whitlock

In addition to his film work, Whitlock worked on the original series of Star Trek contributing matte paintings for several first-season episodes, some of which he reworked for use in later episodes. These have been replaced by CGI replicas in the remastered version of the series.

Whitlock was also responsible for the matte paintings in History of the World, Part I, and appeared in the movie as a character hawking used chariots. He also produced background mattes for Brooks earlier film High Anxiety, and appeared in that film in a small role as "noted industrialist Arthur Brisbane."

Christine Beauchamp (pseudonym)

"Miss Beauchamp" redirects here. For other people with the same name, see Beauchamp (disambiguation).

Christine "Sally" Beauchamp was the pseudonym of a woman, actually named Clara Norton Fowler, studied by American neurologist Morton Prince between 1898 and 1904. She was one of the first persons diagnosed as having multiple personalities (a disorder now termed dissociative identity disorder). Prince reported her case in his 1906 book-length description of her disorder.

History

Beauchamp was a 23-year-old student who came to Prince, a Boston neurologist, because she was suffering from a "nervous disorder". Her alternate personalities first appeared under hypnotherapy but later appeared spontaneously. Prince was active in naming the personalities and in expressing a preference for one of them. Prince "cured" her by reconciling her other personalities with the original one. Beauchamp later married one of Prince's assistants.

Prince described Beauchamp as having three main distinct personalities, each of which had differing degrees of knowledge of the others.

Importance

This case was widely cited as the "prototypical case" of dissociative identity disorder, even into the 1970s.

Bernard VI, Count of Armagnac

Bernard VI, (c. 1270 – 1319), Count of Armagnac and Fezensac, was the son of Gerald VI, Count of Armagnac, and Mathe de Béarn.

Service for King of France

In 1302, Bernard fought in Italy under the command of Charles of Valois. Subsequently, he participated in all the campaigns in Flanders directed by Philippe le Bel and his son Louis X (in 1303, 1304, 1313 and 1315). He then served as head of large detachments of the royal army. He contributed particularly to the victory of Mons-en-Alarcon on 18 August 1304, with four hundred armed men and a thousand policemen on foot. This military activity was very expensive and impoverished Bernard VI and he was obliged to borrow 2500 gold florins for the funeral of his wife.

Conflict with House of Foix

After the death of Gaston VII, Viscount of Béarn, his grandfather, he maintained a long war against the Counts of Foix following the controversy over the will. The will favored the Count of Foix and Bernard refuted its legitimacy. The conflict escalated into an undeclared war between the houses of Foix and Armagnac, which took place during nearly all of the fourteenth century.

Marriages and Children

He first married Isabella d'Albret (c. 1275 † 1 December 1294), daughter of Bernard Ezy IV Sire of Albret and Jeanne de Lusignan. Through this marriage, Bernard VI carried the title of lord of Albret between the years 1280 and 1294.

In 1298, he married Cecilia de Rodez, heiress of Henri II Count of Rodez.
Children, all born of the second marriage were:

  * John I (1305 † 1373), Count of Armagnac, of Fezensac and Rodez.
  * Mathe († 1364), married in 1321 to Bernard Ezi IV, Sire d'Albret.
  * Isabella, Lady of Beras.

Bernard Trink

Bernard Trink (1931 – 6 October 2020) was a columnist for the Bangkok Post.Bangkok World, an English-language evening newspaper. Trink's popular "Nite Owl" column ran weekly for the next 37 years, covering Bangkok's seedier nighttime entertainment: go-go bars, nightclubs, pubs, and massage parlors. He also wrote restaurant reviews as Friar Tuck

History

Trink first came to Asia as a G.I. during the Korean War. He then worked as a journalist in India, Hong Kong, and Japan before coming to Bangkok.

Originally, Trink's "Nite Owl" was an informative three page illustrated section that appeared in the World every Friday afternoon. When the newspaper was bought out and shut down by the Bangkok Post in the mid-1980s, Trink's column was shortened to just one page and the photographs were eliminated. The Post also restricted what Trink could write about and his column became tamer. However, he continued to have his dedicated fans and when the Bangkok Post tried to stop his column in the late-1990s, a letter-writing campaign persuaded the editor to change his mind. Nevertheless, the column was further reduced to just half of a page.

In December 2003, Trink's column was dropped without fanfare by a new editor, who decided it was time for Trink to go. There was no announcement that it was ending, nor any farewell party for the longtime columnist. The "Nite Owl" column simply stopped being published. Trink still wrote occasional book reviews for the Post and for a time had his own website, but he remained more or less retired after the end of the column.

In his columns, Trink was often critical of the city's seamier, sleazier nightlife and always warned foreign men about becoming romantically involved with bar girls, whom he held in low regard. He also spoke out for women's rights and against child prostitution, but his belief that HIV did not lead to AIDS brought him considerable criticism and may have contributed to the demise of his column.

Trink's columns were known for his "Trinkisms", neologisms or coded references that circumvented the restrictions imposed on writers of a family newspaper.


Bernard Trink

Trink is the subject of an unauthorized biography by Jennifer Bliss, called But, I Don't Give a Hoot, published by Post Books in 2000.

Bernard Trink died of a blood infection at Bangkok's King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital on 6 October 2020. He is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.

Bernard Torelli

Bernard Torelli (13 October 1955 – 18 January 2016) was a French guitarist, composer, audio engineer and record producer.

Life and career

He was born in Nice, the younger half-brother of musician and record producer Jean-Pierre Massiera. When Massiera established a new 16-track recording studio in Antibes, Torelli began recording with him as guitarist, playing on the 1974 concept album Visitors. Torelli joined the band Rockets in 1976, and featured on their debut album.

The following year, he played on another album coordinated by Massiera, Atlantide, and then on the cult psychedelic album L'Etrange Mr. Whinster, credited to Horrific Child. Torelli worked with the prolific Massiera as musician, composer, arranger and occasionally co-producer, on numerous prog rock and space disco albums and projects during the late 1970s. These included the albums Turn Radio On, Phantasmes, Space Woman (credited to the act Herman's Rocket), Galactic Soul (credited to Venus Gang), and singer Jessy Joyce's J. Joyce & Co., among others. On the 1978 prog rock album Human Egg, Torelli played guitar, bass and keyboards.session musician in Paris, with Manu Dibango among others.

In the early 1980s, Torelli moved to California. After he was introduced to French singer Michel Polnareff, he worked with him as his guitarist and engineer. He also worked with Stanley Clarke, the jazz fusion band CAB, and others. He later worked as a recording engineer at Track Star Studios in San Diego. Around 2000, he founded the software company Nomad Factory, responsible for creating programs and software for audio recording, mixing and mastering. This included developing audio software processors and plug-ins for DAWs (digital audio workstation) such as Cubase and Pro Tools.

In 2016, Torelli died as a result of cancer, aged 60.

Sir Bernard Evans Tomlinson CBE (13 July 1920 – 26 May 2017) was a distinguished neuropathologist.

He was born in Ashfield, the second of four children. The family lived in Huthwaite and he went to Brunts Grammar School. His elder brother also became a doctor and his younger twin sisters became nurses. He married Betty Oxley who also lived in Huthwaite.

He trained as a clinical pathologist at University College Hospital and joined the Socialist Medical Association. He campaigned for the establishment of the NHS during the 1945 election. He did two years’ National Service in the Royal Army Medical Corps. He was appointed in 1949 as senior registrar in pathology and deputy director of pathology at Newcastle General Hospital and was professor of pathology at Newcastle University from 1973 to 1985. The family moved to Low Fell. His main research was into dementia and Alzheimer’s. In 1982 he was appointed by Norman Fowler to chair the Northern Regional Health Authority, the first medic to do so.

He was appointed CBE in 1981 and he was knighted in 1988.

In 1991 he was asked by William Waldegrave to produce a report on Healthcare in London, which was known as the Tomlinson review.Charing Cross Hospital, Middlesex Hospital and St Bartholomew's Hospital, the merger of Guy’s and Thomas’ and the closure of ten smaller hospitals. The government accepted the report. Middlesex did close, Guy's and Thomas' did merge, but most of the recommendations were not implemented because they were too controversial.

In discussions about bovine spongiform encephalopathy in 1996 he told You and Yours that he would not eat beefburgers “under any circumstances” and was attacked by Angela Browning for saying so.

Artificial intelligence of things

The Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is the combination of Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies with the Internet of things (IoT) infrastructure to achieve more efficient IoT operations, improve human-machine interactions and enhance data management and analytics.

In 2018, KPMG published a foresight study on the future of AI including scenarios until 2040.swarm intelligence. Many industries could be transformed with the application of swarm intelligence, including: automotive, cloud, medical, military, research, and technology.

In the AIoT an important facet is AI being done on some Thing. In its purest form this involves performing the AI on the device, i.e. at the edge or Edge Computing, with no need for external connections. There is no need for an Internet in AIoT, it is an evolution of the concept of the IoT and that is where the comparison ends.

The combined power of AI and IoT, promises to unlock unrealized customer value in a broad swath of industry verticals such as edge analytics, autonomous vehicles, personalized fitness, remote healthcare, precision agriculture, smart retail, predictive maintenance, and industrial automation.

Artificial Intelligence Through Medical Devices

As defined by the 21st Century Cures Act in 2016, a medical device is a device that performs a function in healthcare with the intention of using it "in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, in man or other animals, or intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals".

Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, all AI systems falling within this definition are regulated by the FDA. Medical devices are classified into three classes by the FDA based on their uses and risks. The higher the risk is, the stricter the control. The Class I category includes devices with the smallest risk and Class III has the greatest risk.

AI also helps patients by providing patients' data, electronic health records, mobile apps, and providing easy access to devices and sensors to specific patients who are in need of such technologies. The need to protect patients' data is extreme. Using electronic records to conceal patient data becomes increasingly difficult as data becomes integrated into clinical care. The accessibility to patients' data may be easy to access for the patient, but it also brings skepticism of data protection.


Artificial intelligence of things

Technology and AI have combined to provide opportunities for better management of healthcare information and technology integration in the medical industry. AI is implemented to recognize abnormalities and suspicion to sensitive data being accessed by a third-party. On the other hand, it will be necessary to rethink confidentiality and other core medical ethics principles in order to implement deep learning systems, since we cannot rely solely on technology.

Artificial Intelligence in Cloud Engineering

When integrating AI into cloud engineering, it can help multiple professional fields in maximizing data collection. It can improve performance and efficiency through digital management.

Cloud engineering follows engineering methods to apply to cloud computing and focuses on technological cloud services.

Implementing AI into information technology's framework to establish smooth workloads and automate repetitive processes.

With AI, it can bring efficiency to organizations, bringing strategic methods and saving time from repeated tasks. By executing analysis, organizations can save time and be more efficient.

Artificial language

This article is about languages that naturally emerge in computer simulations or controlled psychological experiments with humans. For planned or constructed human languages, see constructed language. For formal computer languages, see formal language. For the band, see Artificial Language.

Artificial languages are languages of a typically very limited size which emerge either in computer simulations between artificial agents, robot interactions or controlled psychological experiments with humans. They are different from both constructed languages and formal languages in that they have not been consciously devised by an individual or group but are the result of (distributed) conventionalisation processes, much like natural languages. Opposed to the idea of a central designer, the field of artificial language evolution in which artificial languages are studied can be regarded as a sub-part of the more general cultural evolution studies.

Origin

The idea of creation of artificial language arose in 17th and 18th century as a result of gradually decreasing international role of Latin.

Motivation

The lack of empirical evidence in the field of evolutionary linguistics has led many researchers to adopt computer simulations as a means to investigate the ways in which artificial agents can self-organize languages with natural-like properties.natural language is a complex adaptive system that emerges through interactions between individuals and continues to evolve in order to remain adapted to the needs and capabilities of its users. By explicitly building all assumptions into computer simulations, this strand of research strives to experimentally investigate the dynamics underlying language change as well as questions regarding the origin of language under controlled conditions.

Due to its success the paradigm has also been extended to investigate the emergence of new languages in psychological experiments with humans,experimental semiotics.

Because the focus of the investigations lies on the conventionalisation dynamics and higher-level properties of the resulting languages rather than specific details of the conventions, artificially evolved languages are typically not documented or re-used outside the single experiment trial or simulation run in which they emerge. In fact, the limited size and short-lived nature of artificial languages are probably the only things that sets them apart from natural languages, since all languages are artificial insofar as they are conventional (see also constructed language).

Uses

Artificial languages have been used in research in developmental psycholinguistics. Because researchers have a great deal of control over artificial languages, they have used these languages in statistical language acquisition studies, in which it can be helpful to control the linguistic patterns heard by infants.

Billbach (Mud)

The Billbach is a right-hand tributary of the Mud in Bavaria's Odenwald forest. It begins at the confluence of the Marsbach and Morre west of Schneeberg. Both headstreams rise in the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Geography

Headstreams

Confluence of the Marsbach (rear left) and Morre (rear right) to form the Billbach (front)

Marsbach

The Marsbach or Morsbach rises southeast of Walldürn in the vicinity of the historic Roman thermae. It flows in a northwesterly direction through Walldürn parallel to the B 47 to Rippberg, where it collects the Eiderbach. The Marsbach then crosses the state border into Bavaria. It is the 16.4 kilometres long and thus the shorter and small headstream.

Morre

The 22-kilometre-long Morre, also called the Saubach in its Bavarian lower reaches, has its source on the edge of the village of Hettingen. It runs westwards through the borough of Buchen, bends towards the northwest and collects the Hollerbach. The Morre flows through Hettigenbeuern into Bavaria and reaches Zittenfelden. West of Schneeberg it the Morre unites with the Marsbach to form the Billbach.

Course

After the confluence of its headstreams, the Billbach crosses under the B 47 and flows through Amorbach. At the northwestern edge of the town it empties into the 25-kilometre-long Mud at the start of the B 469.

Big Giant Head

The Big Giant Head, a fictional character from the American sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun, is the Solomons' mission leader and king of the universe.

Role on the show

He was an unseen character at first, and even then very rarely referred to. When Harry expressed that he was upset about not serving any useful purpose in the mission, the family revealed to him that he was modified to serve as the transmitter that relayed messages from the Big Giant Head, from which point the character then "spoke" through Harry. He apparently got his job by "outrunning the fireball". Though the Solomons are subordinate to the Big Giant Head, they sometimes express dissatisfaction with his leadership, with Dick declaring at one point that he only got the job because he "kissed the Big Giant Butt."

When the character did eventually appear on screen, he was portrayed (in human form) by William Shatner, and did very little apart from wreak havoc on the Solomons' lives. He insisted on being waited on hand and foot, and frequently interrupted Dick's physics classes, posing as an associate of the Solomons under the pseudonym "Stone Phillips" (Mrs. Dubcek asked him if it was "Like the guy from Dateline", to which "Stone" answered, "No").

He eventually confessed to being Dick's father, at which point, Harry stated that if Dick was going to take over The Big Giant Head, his name would be Dick Head.

Relationship with Vicki

After landing on the Earth, Stone (the Big Giant Head) knew very little about women. He was very rude towards them,Tommy to his Junior Prom, where he met Vicki Dubcek, who was trying to hook up, since she never had her junior prom.pregnant with Harry's child but they just had a break-up. After "Stone" beamed her up to his "bachelor pod" for the night, Vicki declared the next day that she was pregnant by him. Stone left immediately, and about 2 hours later Vicki delivered his baby, whom she named Eric Travis ("E.T."). After Stone left, Vicki called a news reporter, saying that she was the mother of a new species. The reporter showed up, but didn't believe her story, because the baby looked like a normal human being.

Big Giant Head

Miscellaneous

The Solomons first meet the Big Giant Head in person when he arrived by plane at their local airport, in an obviously agitated state. When asked about his flight, he responded "Horrifying, at first. I looked out the window and ... I saw something on the wing of the plane", to which Dick responded "The same thing happened to me!" This is a double reference. In an early episode, Dick attempts to fly for the first time and is frightened when he sees something on the wing of the plane. Both references are also to the Twilight Zone story "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", which tells of a man on a commercial flight who is convinced he sees a creature on the plane's wing which no one else can see. Both William Shatner and John Lithgow (Dick) had previously played that Twilight Zone character; Shatner played it in the original 1963 TV series episode, and Lithgow played it in the 1983 movie remake.

Big Game (short story)

Big Game is a short story (1,000 words) by the American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov. He wrote it in November 1941 when he was 21, failed to sell it to any magazine, and eventually lost the manuscript. In 1972 when Asimov compiled a collection of his earliest stories, The Early Asimov, he listed "Big Game" as the last of eleven stories which he had failed to publish anywhere and which he thought were lost forever. However a fan of his, Matthew B. Tepper,Boston University and sent it to him. Asimov included it in an anthology he was editing at the time, Before the Golden Age (1974), although he pointed out that he had re-used the plot of the rejected story to write "Day of the Hunters" in 1950.

Plot summary

The entire story consists of a conversation in a bar. A drunk man tries to convince his audience that ten years ago he built a time machine and travelled back to before the extinction of the dinosaurs, where he met an intelligent race of humanoid dinosaurs who communicated with him telepathically. These dinosaurs enthusiastically hunted other dinosaur species as game. The drunk believes that when they wiped out all other species, they turned on each other, and that is the true cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs. He concludes by observing that humans are likely to end up the same way.

Significance in Asimov's personal life

Benjamin Bond Cabbell

Benjamin Bond Cabbell by Morton Edwards, 1869

Benjamin Bond Cabbell FRS FSA FGS DL (1782/83 – 9 December 1874), was a British politician and philanthropist.

Life

He was educated at Westminster School in London. He studied at Oriel College, Oxford from June 1800, but left the university in 1803 without a degree. Instead he trained as a lawyer through apprenticeship.

He was called to the bar of the Middle Temple in 1816 and practised on the western circuit. He was a magistrate for Norfolk, Middlesex, and Westminster. Cabbell was elected a fellow of the Royal Society on 19 January 1837.

Cabbell was Conservative Party Member of Parliament for St Albans from August 1846 to July 1847, and then for Boston until he retired in March 1857. He was Deputy Lieutenant of Middlesex in 1852, and High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1854.

He was president of the City of London General Pension Society, vice-president of the Royal Literary Fund, treasurer to the London Lock Hospital, and sub-treasurer to the Infant Orphan Asylum. He was a generous benefactor to Cromer in Norfolk where he had his country house, Cromer Hall: he paid for a lifeboat (named after him)freemason, serving as a trustee of the Royal Masonic Institution and as provincial grand master of Norfolk.

Cabbell subscribed to many London charities. He was widely known as an art patron. He became a member of the Artists' Benevolent Fund in 1824, sat on its committee, helped in obtaining its charter of incorporation in 1827, and contributed 20 pounds towards the preliminary expenses.

He died at 39 Chapel Street, Marylebone Road, London, 9 December 1874, in his 92nd year.

Emma Smith Kennedy

Emma Belle Smith Kennedy or "Emma Kennedy" (17 March 1869 – 3 May 1960) was a granddaughter of Joseph Smith, Jr., and daughter of his third surviving son, Alexander Hale Smith. In her lifetime she was highly regarded in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS Church) for several reasons. First, she was one of the earliest Latter Day Saints to return to Independence, Missouri, after the American Civil War, when Latter Day Saints still faced some endangering prejudices. Second, she was the first librarian for the historic RLDS Stone Church,Saints' Herald church magazine. Third, as with her grandfather, her uncle Joseph Smith III, her father, and other relatives in the Latter Day Saint movement, Kennedy produced a number of writings, revelations and prophecies which circulated among church membership. A month before her eightieth birthday in 1949, Kennedy wrote in a letter to a relative:

I just am very much alive in the onward march of this church of ours and have a gift that helps many, the gift of prophecy. I have foretold some things and they have come to pass...It sounds rather boasting but I was told in prophecies I would do this work, as a portion of the mantle of my father had fallen on me and I must to comfort God's people. So I am very busy the most of my time.

Among other prophetic statements, she is credited with successfully predicting in mid-1947 that her Independence neighbor Harry S Truman would win re-election in the U.S. presidential election of 1948, even though prevailing opinion of the era was that Truman would probably lose.

President Truman departing the RLDS Auditorium on June 27, 1945.

I bid thee write on this 1st day of June, 1947. My hand is over Latter Day Israel and My land. In the change coming at the seat of Government there will be no other man in control of this nation (the elections) than he who is now there .... He is a wise man and a prayerful servant and heeds the guiding hand of the Lord with the light that is his ... To my people, I would say, have more faith in the hand that rules the nation.

Two of Emma Smith Kennedy's earlier "inspired writings"Infallible Proofs, first published circa 1931.her father in 1900


Emma Smith Kennedy

Later revelations produced by Mrs. Kennedy are more specific than those examples, a prophecy entitled "Given Through The Spirit to Emma Smith Kennedy February 25, 1944" reads:

Oh My child do not doubt what thou hast received, for in a few days as man numbers them, thou shalt know the Red Army has entered Germany through Poland, yet at this time Poland is longing to be at peace, but weakened through Germany's treatment—a great fear is there. Yet Russia will go in Germany first with her powerful arm, then the Allies will come upon Germany and the Nazis will yield, but not 'til great slaughter within their ranks. France will gain much ground and courage, she shall conduct herself in great battlefront. Men have grown weary, and if thy Father did not strengthen the men of battle, the war would be prolonged and no good would come.

From her obituary published in the local newspaper: "Mrs. Kennedy was born in Plano, Illinois ... She had lived in Independence since she was a little girl. She was married to William Kennedy, a Canadian, in 1887 in Harrison County, Missouri. Mr. Kennedy was a blacksmith. Surviving are a daughter ... a brother ... a sister ... three grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren."

Kennedy is mentioned in the August 1992 edition of the Ensign magazine, an official periodical of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), in an article about Emma Hale Smith by Emma Belle Smith Kennedy's granddaughter, Gracia N. Jones, an author and genealogist active in the LDS Church:

A granddaughter Emma Belle Smith Kennedy, remembers Emma Smith: 'Her eyes were brown and sad. She would smile with her lips but to me, as small as I was, I never saw the brown eyes smile. I asked my mother one day, why don't Grandma laugh with her eyes like you do and my mother said because she has a deep sorrow in her heart.'

Emma Sophia Galton

Emma Sophia Galton (1811–1904) was the author of an 1863 book entitled a Guide to the Unprotected in Every-Day Matters Relating to Property and Income, which was published anonymously by Macmillan and credited to "A Banker's Daughter".

Biography

Galton (1811–1904) was the fourth child of Samuel Tertius Galton and an elder sister of the eminent Victorian scientist Francis Galton.

In writing her financial guide, Galton noted that: "Many young people, and especially widows and single ladies, when they first possess money of their own, are in want of advice when they have commonplace business matters to transact. […] My aim throughout is to avoid all technicalities; to give plain and practical directions, not only as to what ought to be done, but how to do it."

"When an inexperienced person comes into possession of her fortune, and especially if it be a small one, her first inquiry is, 'How can I invest my money so as to get the highest possible interest?' Let her rather seek to place it where her Capital will be safest. The Duke of Wellington used to say, 'High interest is another name for bad security.' In this country 4½ per cent is generally the highest safe Interest you can receive: 4 per cent, more usually so. When 6, 7, 8, or more per cent, is offered by Banks, Mortgages, Loans, or Mines, beware of accepting it, as the probability is that you will lose both your Principal and Interest, as so many have done. Such an Interest can seldom be given consistently with safety."

Galton advised women to "Seek a sensible and upright Friend, who is a good man of business". Her Guide went through seven editions between 1863 and 1900. Though new editions were advertised as 'revised', changes were minimal. Later versions included a page on the 'great change' of the 1882 Married Women's Property Act, which meant that a wife's money no longer belonged to her husband, and some additional material reflecting the greater variety of securities available in the late 19th century.


Emma Sophia Galton

Galton's doubts concerning her brother Francis' theory of eugenics, a term he created, prompted him to write to her in defence of it telling her, "It is one of the few services that a man situated like myself can do, to take up an unpopular side when he knows it to be the true one".Wellcome Library.

Legacy

The Victorian Women Writer's Project, hosted by Indiana University, has made a full transcription of the second edition of Galton's book (1864) available.

Galton's advice was reappraised in December 2016 by BBC Radio 4's personal finance radio programme Money Box, which reported that, "The book was probably the first general guide to finance, and certainly the first aimed at women who, like Emma herself, had found themselves with money of their own".
