# John Stokell Dodds

Sir John Stokell Dodds KCMG (1848 – 23 June 1914) was an Australian politician and Chief Justice of Tasmania.

## Early life

Dodds was born in Durham, England, the son of William and Annie (née Shute) Dodds. The family moved to Hobart, Tasmania, arriving in 1853. His father died soon afterwards and Dodds was educated in Hobart. At 16 years old he began to study law, was admitted to the bar in 1872, and in a few years had a large practice. He took an active part in sport and was a good oarsmanand cricketer.

## Career

In 1878 Dodds was asked to stand for parliament, was elected to the Tasmanian House of Assembly for East Hobart, and was given a seat in the William L. Crowther ministry as attorney-general in December 1878. When W. R. Giblin formed his coalition ministry in October 1879 Dodds held the same position until December 1881, when he exchanged it for that of colonial treasurer.
Giblin retired from politics in August 1884 and Dodds became attorney-general under Adye Douglas until March 1886, when Douglas went to London as Agent-general. Douglas recommended that Sir James W. Agnew should be asked to form a ministry, but he could not do so because Dodds, who was the leader of the assembly, felt that he should have been sent for. Dodds then succeeded in forming a ministry, and having established the principle, stood aside and Agnew became premier. It was, however, felt by many that Dodds, who took the portfolio of attorney-general, was the real leader of the government. In 1887 he was appointed one of the representatives of Tasmania at the colonial conference held at London, and while on the voyage was offered and accepted the position of puisne judge of the supreme court. He held this position for 12 years and in 1898 was appointed chief justice. Five years later he became lieutenant-governor and administered the government on several occasions.
He was appointed a CMG in 1889, was knighted 22 January 1900, and created a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG) 15 May 1901, in preparation of the forthcoming royal visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York (later King George V and Queen Mary).

## Legacy

Dodds died in his home on 23 June 1914. His wife, Emma Augusta (1835-1910), daughter of the Rev. James Norman, had predeceased him. He was survived by two sons.
Dodds was in office for practically the whole of his nine years in parliament and did some excellent work, succeeding in obtaining reductions in mail subsidies, and reducing the rates for postages and telegrams. Dodds was also responsible for the establishment of post office savings banks. He was regarded as a very capable judge.
As chief justice and lieutenant-governor his duties were always admirably discharged, and as chancellor of the University of Tasmania, president of the Art and other societies, he did much to foster the cultural life of Hobart.

# Louis Weisner

Louis Weisner (born 1899–1988) was an American-Canadian mathematician at the University of New Brunswick who introduced Weisner's method.
He graduated in 1923 from Columbia University with a Ph.D. in mathematics. His thesis Groups whose maximal cyclic subgroups are independent was supervised by Frank Nelson Cole. As a postdoc, Weisner was an instructor at the University of Rochester. At Hunter College he was appointed an instructor in 1927 and was successively promoted to assistant professor and associate professor. When he was an associate professor in 1954, the Board of Higher Education of the City of New York charged him with "neglect of duty" and "conduct unbecoming a member of the staff" because of his alleged involvement, beginning "in or about the year 1938", with the Communist Party. From 1955 to 1988 he was a professor of mathematics at the University of New Brunswick.

# Margaret Levyns

Margaret Rutherford Bryan Levyns (née Michell, 24 August 1890 Cape Town – 11 November 1975 Cape Town) was an eminent South African phytogeographer, botanist and taxonomist.

## Early life and education

Margaret Levyns was initially educated at home by her mother and later attended Ellerslie Girls' School. She obtained a first class matriculation and was awarded two bursaries. In 1908 she enrolled at the South African College intending to study mathematics, geology and chemistry, with botany for her honours year. Prof. Harold Pearson persuaded her to take botany as a major subject. After winning two scholarships, the Queen Victoria Scholarship and the 1851 Exhibition Memorial Scholarship and spending 1912-14 at Newnham College, she returned to South Africa and was promptly awarded another scholarship to the John Innes Institute where she chose to study genetics. On returning to South Africa for the second time, she took up a lecturing post in the Botany Department at the South African College which later became the University of Cape Town. She was the first woman to receive a D.Sc. degree from University of Cape Town, for her 1932 thesis 'A taxonomic study of Lobostemon and Echiostachys'. Her publications included A Guide to the Flora of the Cape Peninsula in 1929, and substantial sections of Flora of the Cape Peninsula by Adamson & Salter in 1950.
After her retirement in 1945, she remained active in the botanical field and published numerous papers on taxonomy and phytogeography. She revised a number of South African genera e.g. Muraltia. In 1923 she married John Levyns, later Assistant Provincial Secretary of the Cape Province and who served on the council of the Botanical Society of South Africa.
Margaret Levyns is commemorated in Thamnochortus levynsiae Pillans, Nivenia levynsiae H. Weimarck and Crassula levynsiae Adamson. Some 12 000 of her collected specimens are lodged with the Bolus Herbarium (BOL) in Cape Town, the National Herbarium (PRE) in Pretoria, the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew (K) and other herbaria. This botanist is denoted by the author abbreviation Levyns when citing a botanical name.

## Honours and awards

* President of Section B of the South African Association for Advancement of Science 1952/53
* South African Medal 1958
* President of the Royal Society of South Africa 1962/63 (first woman to hold this seat)
# Ordwulf

Ordwulf (died after 1005) was the son of Ordgar, Ealdorman of Devon (died 971). His sister was Queen Ælfthryth, third wife of King Edgar (born 943, died 975; ruled 959-975) The Peaceful and mother of King Æthelred II (c. 968-1016) The Unready, during whose reign Ordwulf was a major figure.
Ordwulf did not succeed his father as ealdorman but was however described by the chronicler John of Worcester as Dumnoniae Primus, that is "First in Devon". This suggests he may have held the office of "High Reeve of Devon", and was possibly reeve of the royal manor of Lifton in Devon, which also included lands in East Cornwall.
He attested diplomas from 980 and in 993 was referred to as one of the king's chief counsellors. He frequently attested with Brihtwold, another royal kinsman. Together with Æthelmar and Wulfgeat the king's "beloved thane" he encouraged the king to restore the lands and liberties of Abingdon Abbey in Oxfordshire. According to Goscelin, together with his nephew King Æthelred he saw a vision of the king's recently deceased illegitimate half-sister Edith of Wilton (961-984)(Saint Edith) which led to the translation of her relics thirteen years after her death. He received a bequest of two valuable books, Hrabanus and a martyrology, in the will of Ælfwold III (Bishop of Crediton) (died 1011/1015).
Ordwulf married Ælfwynn, who donated some of her Devonshire manors to her husband's foundation Tavistock Abbey including: Hame (Abbotsham), Werdgete (Worthygate, in Parkham parish), Orlege (Orleigh) and Anri (Annery).
Older historians thought that Tavistock Abbey was founded in 961 by Ordgar but the modern consensus is that it was wholly the foundation of Ordwulf in 974; in 981 the charter of confirmation was granted by King Æthelred the Unready, Ordwulf's nephew.
Ordwulf disappears as a witness in surviving charters after 1005, but is recorded as still living at that date. He retired as a monk to his foundation of Tavistock Abbey.
# St Mary's the Virgin Anglican Church

St Mary's the Virgin Anglican Church is a heritage-listed Anglican church at 66 Church Street, Maitland, City of Maitland, New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by Edmund Blacket. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

## History

The church was designed by Edmund Blacket to replace an earlier 1843 church that Blacket found would be too costly to enlarge and repair. Blacket's design provided for a nave, chancel, north and south aisles, two porches, vestry, tower and spire, seating 700 parishioners. The foundation stone was laid on 7 September 1860. It finally opened for services on 18 July 1867. The bell tower was completed in 1887.
In June 2006, $119,464 funding was approved for restoring and re-pointing of the church tower to prevent further water damage; repairs to damaged stonework; and restoration of the tower's pinnacles and their finials.

## Description

The church is in the Victorian Gothic style, with a slender stone tower, tracery windows, lower roof over aisles (clerestory to nave), with excellent stone detailing and craftsmanship.

# The Gracie Allen Murder Case

The Gracie Allen Murder Case (1938) (also published as The Scent of Murder) is the eleventh of twelve detective novels by S. S. Van Dine featuring his famous fictional detective of the 1920s and 1930s, Philo Vance. It also features the zany half of the Burns and Allen comedy team. It is in some ways a roman à clef, including not just Burns and Allen but also such characters as Gracie's mother and brother. (George Burns, after all, has described the couple's act as, "All I had to do was ask, 'Gracie, how's your brother?' and she talked for 38 years.") That gave the book an unusual feel, as did the comic tone of much of Gracie's dialogue. This tone suddenly shifts in a later chapter to one character's philosophically anguished speculations, and then back again to Gracie.

## Literary significance and criticism

For some readers the whole thing works oddly wonderfully, and shows S. S. Van Dine's skill at combining his traditional approach with some unusual forms. Other readers found this book both disconcerting and disappointing. It did not enjoy anything near the commercial success of Van Dine's earlier novels (or his prime character, when Philo Vance himself was developed into a classic radio show), and most critics considered it a failure.
Those critics might have agreed with the protagonist herself. In classic Gracie style, when Van Dine was working on the novel, Allen quipped, "S.S. Van Dine is silly to spend six months writing a novel when you can buy one for two dollars and ninety-eight cents."
Crime novelist and critic Julian Symons wrote, "The decline in the last six Vance books is so steep that the critic who called the ninth of them one more stitch in his literary shroud was not overstating the case."

## Film adaptation

The novel was adapted into a 1939 film starring Gracie Allen (who received billing above Warren William's portrayal of Philo Vance) which was fairly faithful to the novel. The action stops in the first third when Gracie sings a song that at first seems to be her attempt to sing the first lines of a number of popular songs, each to the tune of another—a novelty song. The film focuses more on her humor than the murder plot, and Philo Vance, whom Gracie keeps calling "Fido" in the film, is relegated to a decidedly secondary role.

# Henri Mouquin

Henri Mouquin (October 11, 1837 – December 24, 1933) was a New York restaurateur. He was born in Aubonne, near Lausanne, in Switzerland. His father and grandfather were both hoteliers, and as a boy he became acquainted with Napoleon III, who visited his father's hotel. At age 17 he went to Paris, and then left Europe for the United States. His first job was as a waiter at Delmonico's in New York, and over the next twenty years he worked in various jobs as far west as St. Louis. In 1857 he started his first restaurant, and in 1859 he married Marie Grandjean, who also came from Vaud, the canton in Switzerland where Mouquin was born.
His first restaurant was at the corner of Fulton St and Nassau St in Manhattan; his wife did the cooking. He also opened a wine importing business and was at one time the largest wine importer in the U.S. The restaurant became popular and because of its relatively low prices brought many staples of French cuisine to New Yorkers previously unfamiliar with them.
Mouquin died at his home in Williamsburg, Virginia, on December 24, 1933.

# The Graded Care Profile Tool

The Graded Care Profile (GCP) Tool is a practice tool that provides an objective measure of the quality of care in terms of a parent/carer's commitment. It was developed in the UK. It is often used in cases where child neglect is suspected.

## History

The GCP tool was developed by Dr. Srivastava, a Consultant Paediatrician and designated doctor for child protection. It was the subject of his research at the University of Nottingham which got published in 1997 (Ref:5).
In 1999, the GCP tool began being used by the Luton Borough Council and by Luton Health Trust professionals. Since then, its use has spread across the United Kingdom. It has been translated into Japanese and Spanish.
The original GCP tool continues to be used in Luton and other areas by the author's permission but other unauthorised versions appeared elsewhere.. The First authorised update was undertaken by the NSPCC in collaboration with Srivastava in 2015. it was named 'The Graded Care Profile 2 (The GCP2)..

## Evaluation

A recent qualitative evaluation of the GCP found that social workers felt the tool was useful in helping them identify the right help for children at risk of harm. It also helped them develop a good working relationship with the family because it allowed them to identify what the family was doing well, in addition to what needed to be improved.
