# Mary Battersby

Mary Battersby or Miss Battersby (fl. 1801–1841) was an Irish artist and naturalist.

## Life

Investigations into Mary Battersby have concluded that "nothing is known" about her. Some have stated that Battersby was the unmarried daughter of Robert Battersby of Bobsville, County Meath, Ireland, who in 1763 married Marianne, daughter and co-heiress of Haynes Wade of Lislin, County Cavan, Ireland. Others have questioned this, suggesting that she could have been the daughter of Robert Battersby's brother, referred to as John of Lakefield. Her date of birth, based on when she began donating work, is estimated to be between 1763 and 1785. It is possible that the "M" on her paintings did not refer to Mary, but Mrs or Miss, or even a pet name. This means that there a number of women in the Battersby family that the work could be ascribed to, including a Penelope Battersby. Due to the lack of further evidence, a conclusive identity for this artist cannot be ascertained. Some of the donations given of her work is inscribed with the address of the artist as 21 North Cumberland Street, Dublin and later No. 16 Mountjoy Square East. These addresses are presumed to be those of her mother or other relative.

## Artistic work

The works of Battersby are all signed "Miss Battersby" or "M:Battersby". Her corpus is six albums of paintings, a record of one letter and two addresses. There is no other documents pertaining to her, and she does not appear to have exhibited at any time. While she is often described as a "flower painter", given her known work, her interest lay more in the observation of birds than botany. It is unknown if Battersby received any formal training in watercolours, though it was not uncommon for young women to receive such training. Though her ornithological work is described as strictly true to life and without extraneous details, though over the course of her work her style did not develop.
The Royal Dublin Society received four volumes of drawings from Miss Battersby, the first in 1820, three in 1836 with a letter. These were Flowers drawn from Nature, Drawings from a collection of birds shot in Pennsylvania, North America by Robert Battersby Esq. MD, Native birds which were all shot in the County Meath, and Drawings taken from a collection of stuffed birds in the Dublin Museum. Another two volumes are in the Ulster Museum, one dated 1841 and the second undated. A small album is also in the collections of the National Library of Ireland, with studies of flowers, butterflies, insects and feathers, it has been suggested that this may have been produced by another member of the Battersby family, Frances Isabella Battersby. The volume of drawings of the stuffed birds from the Dublin Museum, now the Natural History Museum in Dublin, consists of life sized studies of the mounted birds in the museum. The studies were of exotic birds including hummingbirds.

The band reconvened in 2005; that year's album Deixa o Mundo Girar was especially popular and several of its songs were used in Portuguese telenovelas. The album was produced by British producer Steve Lyon.
The final Pólo Norte release was 15 Anos in 2008; the album was a compilation with two new songs. In 2010 Gameiro released the solo album A Porta ao Lado, which reached the top ten in Portugal. Gameiro later became a professional chef for a number of luxury haute cuisine restaurants on the Portuguese Riviera, including the Casino Estoril and Quinta da Beloura.

# Psycho-physical Awareness

Psycho-physical Awareness is a popular acting technique used in many schools and universities in the U.S. and Europe. This technique works on the relationship between the mind and the body and at developing an actor’s conscious awareness. In other words, recognizing the resulting sensory and mental states in reaction to physical stimuli. The pioneer of this technique is Konstantin Stanislavski who sought to overcome the divisions between “mind from body, knowledge from feeling, analysis from action” through psychophysical training or the method of physical action, but it was Michael Chekhov who further developed an original and dependable method of what we now know to be psycho-physical awareness.

## History

Based on the ideas of Konstantin Stanislavski, Michael Chekhov developed the technique in order to achieve the highest creative potential by developing extreme sensitivity of the body to the psychological creative impulses. He felt this was imperative in becoming an ‘ideal’ actor.
Chekhov developed a series of exercises influenced in part by Rudolf Steiner, which explore a psychophysical approach to training and performing. “If the actor is engaged in the process of imagining through the body, then their sense of ‘self’ is forgotten, and the embodied imagination alters the psycho physicality to be or become that of the character.”
Other notable pioneers and practitioners in this field include Phillip B. Zarrilli and Jerzy Grotowski.
Zarilli’s most recent book, Psychophysical Acting: An Intercultural Approach after Stanislavski (2008) has been selected for the 2010 Outstanding Book award for the Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE). Zarilli developed a system of training though yoga and Asian martial arts that heightens sensory awareness, dynamic energy, and in which body and mind become one.
Jerzy Grotowski is known for using yoga as well as plastiques (a series of strenuous postures, gesture and tumbles) and the use of the whole body as a vocal resonator. He later found that adding human interaction (working with partners) loosened creativity and challenged the body more psychologically. Solo yoga postures he found to be limiting and isolating.
An example of plastiques involves the vertebra extracted from Grotowski’s Towards a Poor Theatre, clarifies the connection between emotional and physical states of the actor. The energy must first start physically within for it to find its way out through expression, thereby engaging the need for psycho-physical awareness.
The vertebral column is the center of expression. The driving impulse, however stems from the loins. Every live impulse begins in this region, even if it is invisible from the outside.
Other physical acting training techniques relative to personal awareness, but not limited to, can be found in the exercises of Moshe Feldenkrais, Kristin Linklater, Cicely Berry and Frederick Matthias Alexander.

# Kogi State Polytechnic

Kogi State Polytechnic was established in 1993, and is located in Lokoja, Kogi State, Nigeria. It is owned and operated by Kogi State. As of 2007 it was accredited by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) to give certificates in Art and printing, Business, Engineering, Finance and Science Computing at the National Diploma and Higher National Diploma levels. In December 2009 the polytechnic presented 16 programs for accreditation to a visiting team of NBTE officials, mainly for the new schools of Engineering and Environmental Technology, Applied Science and Management Studies. The Rector said the school had to be able to offer core engineering and technology programs in order to fulfill its mandate.
In October 2005 the Kogi state governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris approved disbursement of N80 million to the polytechnic. He announced this at the first convocation ceremony, which covered academic sessions from 1992/93 to 2003/2004 and graduated 21,646 students.
In December 2005 a large number of hoodlums disrupted the matriculation ceremony of fresh students, set fire to the rector's office and damaged several vehicles before escaping. The incident may have been related to a struggle over who would succeed the rector, an Igala by tribe. In March 2010 seventy five people, including 18 students of the Polytechnic, were crushed to death by a cement truck that ran out of control. In protest, students barricaded the Lokoja/Abuja highway, set fires and vandalized vehicles. Governor Bello Appointed Dr Salisu Usman Ogbo as the Acting Rector Of Kogi State Polytechnic on the 7th April 2020 and confirmed his appointment as the substantive Rector on 11th February 2021 in order to consolidate the achievements he made and bring back the lost glory of the polytechnic.

# Publius Calpurnius Macer Caulius Rufus

Publius Calpurnius Macer Caulius Rufus was a Roman senator of the 2nd century AD who held a number of offices in the imperial service, as well as serving as suffect consul for the nundinium of November to December 103 as the colleague of Annius Mela. His relationship to the Republican Calpurnii is unknown; he could be descended from a freedman of their family, or a cliens who was enrolled as a citizen with their help.
He was an acquaintance of Pliny the Younger, who called him Calpurnius Macer, and two letters to him from Pliny survive. Both are trivial works: one a short note about Pliny's life when he was on his rural estate, the other concerned with some local gossip concerning Lake Como. Macer is mentioned in a letter that the emperor Trajan wrote to Pliny, which is included in Pliny's collected letters: in responding to Pliny's proposal to drain Lake Sophon (modern Lake Sapanca), Trajan directs him to make a careful study of the land, and suggests he ask Calpurnius Macer for a surveyor.
Two sources -- one a military diploma, the other an inscription from Troesmis -- attest Calpurnius Macer as the governor of Lower Moesia; so it is likely he was governor at the time of this letter from the emperor. Werner Eck dates his tenure in this post as extending from the year 110 to 113, noting that a yet unidentified governor served between Macer and Lucius Fabius Justus.
Nothing further is known of Macer.
