# Michael Nelson (novelist)

Michael Harrington Nelson (1921–1990) was a British novelist best known for his 1958 gay novel A Room in Chelsea Square, originally published anonymously.

## Early and personal life

Born in 1921, Nelson was a journalist before the Second World War. He was a secretary to publisher John Lehmann during the war, and served as a captain in the Royal Army Service Corps. Nelson later owned a bookstore in Winchester where he lived with his then boyfriend. Nelson married Rachel Holland, who knew he was gay, and they remained married the rest of their lives. Nelson died in 1990.

## Writing

Nelson's first novel Knock or Ring (1957), which drew from his own experiences, was about a "ring" of booksellers who conspired to fix auctions. It received good reviews, but was never reprinted until its 2013 Valancourt Books edition.
His second book, A Room in Chelsea Square (1958), was published anonymously owing to its explicit homosexual content. It is about a wealthy gentleman who lures an attractive younger man to London with the promise of an upper-crust lifestyle, and has been called a "gay classic". It has been reprinted several times. The 2013 Valancourt edition features a new introduction by Gregory Woods.
Nelson's other books are Blanket (1959) (published under the pseudonym "Henry Stratton"), When the Bed Broke (1961), Captain Blossom (1973), Captain Blossom Soldiers On (1974), Nobs & Snobs (1976), Captain Blossom in Civvy Street (1978), and Fear No More (1989).

# Middle East Cancer Consortium

The Middle East Cancer Consortium (MECC) is a regional initiative for cancer research and treatment. Established in 1996, MECC members include the United States, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, and Turkey. MECC aims to reduce the incidence and impact of cancer in the Middle East region through the solicitation and support of collaborative research and regional education. Its motto is: "Respect all people, collaborate in fighting human suffering, and help build a bridge for better understanding among all."

## Leadership

The executive director of MECC is Michael Silbermann.

## History

MECC was established through an official agreement of the ministries of health of its six member states in the Middle East. It has launched and sustained academic-based medical programs that bring together scientists, academicians and clinical professionals from its member countries, joined by medical personnel from many other countries in the Middle East.
Initially, MECC established a successful Middle Eastern Network of Cancer Registry Centers, involving medical professionals of the participating countries as part of a US National Cancer Institute initiative. The project began with the establishment of a regional network of cancer registries documenting the incidence of various cancers and stage of disease at diagnosis. From the start, the work in the region was based on collaborative efforts, consisting of training courses, workshops, and educational conferences.

## Achievements

MECC's achievements include:
* Establishing a baseline of information on palliative care services in its member countries, examining barriers to the delivery of palliative care that might exist, and promoting solutions.
* Initiating supplementary education and training in various formats, fellowships, and clinical exchanges, which have led to regional-scale palliative care projects.
* Initiation of palliative care programs in many Middle Eastern countries.
# Middle East Centre for Arab Studies

The Middle East Centre for Arab Studies (MECAS) was an Arabic language college created by the British Army during World War II in Jerusalem, and relocated afterwards as a civilian institution to Lebanon near Beirut where it functioned between 1947–1978.

## History

The Middle East Centre for Arab Studies was established by the British Army during World War II in Jerusalem. Between 1944-1946 it functioned in the requisitioned Austrian Hospice, where it was headed by the English Arabist Bertram Thomas. Its purpose was to teach officers Arabic language and culture. After a short post-war intermezzo in the town of Zarqa in Transjordan, in 1947 it moved to its final location in Shemlan, in the Mount Lebanon Governorate of Lebanon.
In Lebanon the college was reopened by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the British Government. The college gained notoriety as a "spy school" after it was publicly denounced as such by Kamal Jumblatt speaking in the Lebanese Parliament. Official documents affirm MECAS as a civilian institution, though its value and connections to espionage are well documented. An initial note on its pre-1944 function was that the "Centre would be to train Army Officers for military and political intelligence". However, after the handover to Arabist civilians the director of the institution protested such usage, asking for the cancellation of spying orders from Middle East Land Forces involving six students in 1951. The connections to the British establishment remained strong however, with past alumni including the Head of MI6, several senior staff at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and a director general of the British Council. The British/Soviet double agent George Blake, who was a student at the school, was taken from there to Heathrow, where he was formally arrested on espionage charges.
The Civil War made the situation increasingly difficult, and in 1976, MECAS was temporarily evacuated before closing altogether in 1978.
The property was sold in 1995 and the buildings repurposed for the Shemlan Social Institution, which accommodates "special needs beneficiaries with mental and learning disabilities".

## Cultural references

* The name of the village and the story of the college was used by British author Alexander McNabb for a 2013 book, the third of his Middle East cycle: Shemlan - A Deadly Tragedy, the story of a dying retired British diplomat who was taught at Shemlan, who returns to look for an old love.

# Lawrence Zhang Wen-Chang

Lawrence Zhang Wen-Chang (1920 – February 5, 2012) was a Chinese Roman Catholic Apostolic Administrator and priest. The Vatican appointed Zhang Wen-Chang as Apostolic Administrator of three dioceses or ecclesiastical territories in the Chinese province of Yunnan in 2000 – the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kunming, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dali, and the Apostolic Prefecture of Zhaotong. He served in that position as an official, underground representative of the Vatican until his death in 2012. The underground Catholic Church has approximately 60,000 members in Yunnan, mostly composed of ethnic minorities.

## Biography

Zhang Wen-Chang was born in 1920. He was a member of the Sani ethnic group, a subgroup of the Yi people, an ethnic group from China and Vietnam. He enrolled in a Catholic seminary when he was twelve years old. He then graduated from the major seminary in Kunming and was ordained a Catholic priest in 1946. He worked as a priest at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Kunming following his ordination. In 1953, the Communist government forced Zhang Wen-Chang to raise rabbits and chickens in the aftermath of the Chinese Communist Revolution.
In 1958, Father Zhang Wen-Chang was arrested, charged with "counter revolutionary crimes", and imprisoned. He was held in a Chinese Reform through labor farm from 1962 to 1982. Upon his release, he began working part-time. He rejoined the Church as a full-time Catholic priest again in 1987.
In 2000, the Vatican appointed Zhang Wen-Chang as the Apostolic Administrator of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kunming, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dali, and the Apostolic Prefecture of Zhaotong. The Archdiocese of Kunming had been without a Vatican-mandated head since Archbishop Alexandre Derouineau was expelled from the country in 1952. (The People's Republic of China had appointed two priests affiliated with the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association as archbishops, but they were not recognized by the Vatican since they were not appointed by the papacy).
Zhang Wen-Chang lived in Kunming during his tenure as Apostolic Administrator. As a leader within the underground Chinese Catholic Church, Zhang Wen-Chang was affiliated and officially recognized by the Holy See. He had no recognition from the government of the People's Republic of China, and was kept under police and government surveillance.
He was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in October 2011. He died in his hometown in the Shilin Yi Autonomous County in Yunnan on February 5, 2012, at the age of 92. His funeral included a seven-day viewing, according to Sani ethnic traditions.
