== Rosamund Stanhope == |
|||
Rosamund Stanhope (1919-2005) is a British poet and teacher known for her exuberant use of esoteric and unusual words. |
|||
Born in 1919, the daughter of a German leather merchant who changed his name from Sternburg to Stanhope, Rosamund Stanhope grew up on the South Coast of England. She studied Drama and English, but worked as a radio mechanic during WW2. |
|||
She was not a prolific writer, trying both prose and verse, but she regularly had individual poems published in the arts press of the day, and published her first book in March 1962 at the Scorpion Press. Shortly after this she broke her spine in an accident, and thereafter suffered continuous ill health for many years. |
|||
She maintained her teaching position, however, and began publishing again in the 1990s, when her work was much admired. She released two collections of her poems through the Peterloo Press at this time, before dying in December 2005, aged 86. |

Philip Reed
Philip Reed was a New York City Council Member from 1998 to 2005, when term limits forced him out of office. He represented Council District 8, encompassing Manhattan neighborhoods East Harlem and Manhattan Valley, and a portion of the South Bronx, as well as Randall's and Ward's Islands, and Central Park. He was the first openly gay African-American Council Member. From 2002 to 2005 he was the chair of the Council's Committee on Consumer Affairs.
While in office, Reed gained attention for his work to prevent childhood asthma, a serious problem in his district. He also concentrated on measures to increase affordable housing and refurbish neighborhood parks. Reed vigorously opposed Mayor Rudy Giuliani's plan to relocate the Museum of the City of New York from its location in East Harlem to the Tweed Courthouse in downtown Manhattan. Mayor Michael Bloomberg ultimately scrapped this plan, moving the Department of Education to the Tweed Courthouse instead.
Prior to joining the Council, Reed worked as a sales representative for Otis Elevator Company, as the project director at the East New York HIV/AIDS Project, and as the Director of Public Affairs for the Hetrick-Martin Institute.

MOL (sport)
Mol was first played in the 19th century in the town of Mol in Belgium, after which its name is named. There is a regional championship every year in the third week of October (unless it is a leap year, in which case it takes place on the second week, traditionally).
It is a game for two people, and is played with the right-index finger (known in the trade as the molar). The typical rally lasts for 10 seconds, in which both players try to touch the top side of the other person's molar - from the knuckle to the nail). Gwen Gladstone says in THE BELGIUM GAME, the only comprehensive outline of the rules and history of Mol in English, that it is closely related to fencing, but is considerably faster because the players have a very small range to move the molars about in (the arena) - and because at "professional" level, players can move the molars at speeds often exceeding 103 miles per hour.
Although the game has been played since the late 19th century, when it was believed to have been invented by a cobbler walking in the Lake District, the Annual Championships have only been played since 1972. The very first champion was Jean Musil; and other notable past champions of what Gladstone describes as "this noble sport" include: Jonathan Baby (1994, 96, 97), and Jabadad Shuru (1998). The first female player to win was Nichola Rabbit (1999), also the first British player to win, of the frew that there remain. She lives in North Norwood with her husband and 4 children.

Curl Ball
Curl Ball was created in the late 1970s in a village just outside Porec in Croatia. The game remained fairly low key for the first few years, untill the first Curl Ball camphionships was hosted in the coastal village of Funtana, where the local team drew 3-2 with a team fromm the former Yugoslavia.
Among the sport's legends over the years, one name has dominated: Carl Beatle, who boasts six championship wins to his name. Carl's long career allowed him to develop the game to what we know it is today. He coined several now mainstream moves, such as the Baptist and the Bluffing Bind Man. Unfortunately his career was cut short by a freak accident, but he will be remembered by his peers as possibly the best Curl Ball player to grace the water's edge.
Sources
More information including the rules can be found in Carl Beatles's latest book "Curl Ball, from the water's edge" (1997).

English Passengers
English Passengers (ISBN 038549744X) is a 2000 historical novel written by Matthew Kneale, which won that year's Whitbread Book Award. It is narrated by 20 different characters and tells the story of a voyage to look for the Garden of Eden and the rapid decline of an island’s indigenous population.
Plot
In 1857, after their attempts to smuggle contraband goods land them with a heavy fine from the British Customs, Captain Illiam Quilliam Kewley and his crew of Manx sailors are forced to offer their ship for charter. The vessel is quickly hired by a party of Englishmen headed by an eccentric Vicar, the Reverend Geoffrey Wilson, who believes that the Garden of Eden is located inTasmania and wants to mount an expedition there to find it. However, unbeknown to the clergyman, one of his fellow travellers has an entirely different reason for journeying to the island. Dr Thomas Potter is a renowned surgeon who is developing a thesis on the races of man and hopes to find some interesting specimens there.
Running parallel with this story, but starting some 30 or so years earlier, are the recollections of Peevay, one of Tasmania's natives, who describes the devastating impact the white settlers had on his people, and the aborigines' struggle to adapt to the cultural changes which were forced on them.
Many of the chapters alternate between the two different time periods, but when the Manx ship eventually docks in Tasmania, both strands of the story are brought together for the book's conclusion.
Spoilers end here
