# E. J. Scovell

Edith Joy Scovell (9 April 1907 – 19 October 1999) was an English poet and translator. Among those who admired her work were the fellow-writers Vita Sackville-West and Philip Larkin.

## Life

Edith Joy Scovell was born in Eccleshall Bierlow, near Sheffield. Her father, F. G. Scovell, was Anglican rector of the village. Joy was one of eight children. She studied at Casterton School, Westmorland, and at Somerville College, Oxford, graduating in English literature.
Despite her background, Scovell ceased to be a religious believer: "I lost religion fairly early on," she told interviewer Jem Poster. "I mean religious faith – if indeed I ever had it."
After a period spent working as a secretary and journalist, Scovell married in 1937 the ecologist Charles Sutherland Elton, who had established the Bureau of Animal Population in Oxford. They had a daughter, Catherine Ingrid Buffonge MBE, in 1940 and a son, Robert Elton, in 1943. In general, Scovell remained reticent about private matters: "I have had a fairly ordinary life I think, with normal experiences." She died in Oxford in October 1999.

## Writings

E. J. Scovell published three volumes of poetry: Shadows of Chrysanthemums (1944), The Midsummer Meadow (1946), and The River Steamer (1956). Her Collected Poems (1988, Cholmondeley Award) and Selected Poems (1991) were published by Carcanet Press.
Geoffrey Grigson, an admirer of Scovell's work, included eight of her poems in his 1949 collection Poetry of the Present: An Anthology of the Thirties and After. He praised her observation, as "a poet less concerned with celebrity and self-importance than with being alive and in love.... The purest woman poet of our time." Philip Larkin included two, "The Swan's Feet" and "After Midsummer", in The Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse (1973). Her poem "Child Waking" was included in the Penguin Book of Contemporary Verse (Harmondsworth, UK, 1950 and later editions). Her poem "Deaths of Flowers" is included, with reflective comment, in Janet Morley's collection The Heart's Time (SPCK 2011).
Another enthusiast was Vita Sackville-West, who "came across some verses of E. J. Scovell and was so much struck by them that I cut them out to stick in a private anthology."
Scovell's many poems about children include "An Early Death", inspired by a grandchild who died at the age of three: "To have stood in the doorway in your shift of grace/With hands half lifted, so to have looked in/On mortal life, it is not nothing – is/A hammer stroke that rings and rings."
Scovell translated some work by the late 19th-century Italian poet Giovanni Pascoli.

# Basilikon

The basilikon (Greek: βασιλικόν [νόμισμα], "imperial [coin]"), commonly also referred to as the doukaton (Greek: δουκάτον), was a widely circulated Byzantine silver coin of the first half of the 14th century. Its introduction marked the return to a wide-scale use of silver coinage in the Byzantine Empire, and presaged the total abandonment of the gold coins around the middle of the century.

## History

The basilikon was introduced shortly before 1304 by Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (r. 1282–1328), in direct imitation of the Venetian silver ducat or grosso, chiefly to pay the mercenaries of the Catalan Company. The Byzantine coin closely followed the iconography of the Venetian model, with a seated Christ on the obverse and the two standing figures of Andronikos II and his son and co-emperor Michael IX Palaiologos (r. 1294–1320) replacing St. Mark and the Doge of Venice on the reverse. The similarity was reinforced by the name of the new coin: the ducato, the "coin of the doge", became the basilikon, the "coin of the basileus", although the contemporary Greek sources usually call both doukaton.
The basilikon was of high-grade silver (0.920), flat and not concave (scyphate) as other Byzantine coins, weighing 2.2 grams and officially traded at a rate of 1 to 12 with the gold hyperpyron or two keratia, the traditional rate for Byzantine silver coinage since the days of the hexagram and the miliaresion. The actual rate, however, was usually lower, and fluctuated depending on the changing price of silver: contemporary sources indicate actual rates of 12.5, 13, or 15 basilika to the hyperpyron. Examples of half-basilika are also known to have been minted.
In the 1330s and 1340s, however, the basilikon's weight was much reduced, as a result of a silver shortage affecting all of Europe and the Mediterranean, falling to 1.25 grams by the late 1340s. It ceased to be struck in the 1350s, and was replaced circa 1367 with the new, heavier stavraton.
# Tournon-d'Agenais

Tournon-d'Agenais (French pronunciation:, literally Tournon of Agenais; Occitan: Tornon d'Agenés) is a commune in the Lot-et-Garonne department in south-western France. It is a member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (The Most Beautiful Villages of France) Association.

## History

Tournon-d'Agenais was founded in 1271 by Philip III (1245–1285), King of France from 1270 to 1280, son of King Louis IX, commonly known as Saint Louis. At the heart of the urban planning in this bastide is the typical central square (Place des Corniers) with stone houses above arched stone arcades. This reflects the planners’ intent to create a vital place for social and commercial exchanges among the new residents. In addition, the halle (market building), the town house and the maison of Bayle are located in this central square, showing a centralization of the municipal institutions. In the center of the square there is also the town hall, which was a symbol of a major struggle during the Middle Ages for an ample supply of water. The castle of Tournon d'Agenais was destroyed in 1212, noted by the English in 1283 and played an important role during the Hundred Year War. On the other side of the main square, a few streets away, there is the bishop's house called 'Abescat'. This was built during the 13th century and became the parish church of Tournon after the old church was destroyed in the 1560s during the French Wars of Religion.
During the Albigensian War, in 1212, Simon de Montfort gave the house of Abescat to the bishop of Agen (probably the site, the land, or an earlier house, because the current house is later). During the Hundred Years' War, the city changed hands often.
The Protestants razed the Catholic church in 1580 then it was replaced by the Abescat30. The Récollets convent was built in the 17th century on the ruins of the old Château de Tournon, in order to revive the Catholic religion after the departure of the Protestants.
During the period of the National Convention (1792-1795), the commune bore the revolutionary name of Tournon-la-Montagne.
A very large commune, Tournon-d'Agenais was divided twice in the 19th century: in 1837 to create the communes of Montayral and Saint-Vite (the population of Tournon decreased by 2,650 inhabitants), then in 1876 to create the communes of 'Anthé, Bourlens, Cazideroque, Courbiac, Masquières and Thézac (the population of Tournon decreases by 2,800 inhabitants)31.
On 3 July 1944, 1,500 men of the Panzergrenadier division "das Gepent" coming from Cahors and heading towards Villeneuve-sur-Lot, fired on the few resistance fighters present at Place du Foirail. The reprisal operations against the resistance fighters and the civilian population lasted 6 hours, during which several people were tortured and killed by the Germans. Many houses were looted, ransacked and some burned. This event is known as the sack of Tournon-d'Agenais.
Several architectural testimonies remain of its rich past, such as:

# HMCS St. Julien

HMCS St Julien was one of twelve Battle-class naval trawlers constructed for and used by the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) during the First World War. Following the war the ship was transferred to the Canadian Department of Marine and Fisheries and converted into a lightvessel. Re-designated Lightship No. 22, the ship remained as such until 1958. The ship was sold for commercial use and renamed Centennial and was in service until 1978.

## Design and description

The RCN's Battle-class trawlers formed part of the Canadian naval response to Admiralty warnings to Canada about the growing German U-boat threat to merchant shipping in the western Atlantic. Intended to augment anti-submarine patrols off Canada's east coast, these ships were modelled on contemporary British North Sea trawlers, since the standard types of Canadian fishing vessels were considered unsuitable for patrol work.
Twelve vessels were ordered on 2 February 1917 from two shipyards, Polson Iron Works of Toronto and Canadian Vickers of Montreal. Those vessels built at Polson Iron Works displaced 320 long tons (330 t) and were 130 feet (40 m) long overall with a beam of 23 feet 5 inches (7.14 m) and a draught of 13 feet 5 inches (4.09 m). They were propelled by a steam-powered triple expansion engine driving one shaft creating 480 indicated horsepower (360 kW) giving the vessels a maximum speed of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph).
All twelve trawlers were equipped with a QF 12-pounder 12 cwt naval gun mounted forward. This was considered to be the smallest gun that stood a chance of putting a surfaced U-boat out of action, and they also carried a small number of depth charges. The trawlers were named after battles of the Western Front during the First World War that Canadians had been involved in. They cost between $155,000 and $160,000 per vessel.

## Service history

Named after the Battle of St. Julien, the ship was built by Polson Iron Works at Toronto, Ontario, and was launched on 16 June 1917. Intended for use during the 1917 shipping season, the construction of the vessels was delayed by the entry of the United States into the war. With higher wages found south of the border, a shortage of skilled labour developed in the shipyards, coupled with a shortage of construction material. St. Julien was commissioned on 13 November 1917. St. Julien sailed to the east coast where for the 1918 shipping season, all the Battle-class trawlers were assigned to patrol and escort duties based out of Sydney, Nova Scotia. The Battle class was used for patrol and escort duties off the Atlantic coast of Canada until the end of the war.
The ship remained in service with the RCN until being paid off in 1920. St. Julien was turned over to the Department of Marine and Fisheries, and like sister ships Messines, St. Eloi, and Vimy was converted to a lightship. This involved placing an electric light at the foremast head and installing a foghorn atop a latticework tower. The ship was re-designated Lightship No. 22 and served as such until 1958. The lightvessel was sold in 1958 and renamed Centennial, she was still in existence as of 1978.

# American Lion (horse)

American Lion (Foaled February 10, 2007) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse and former stallion. A graded stakes winner, he was a contender in the 2010 Kentucky Derby. However, he did not finish in the money.

## Background and family

American Lion, a bay horse, is sired by Horse of the Year, Tiznow, who is the only horse to date to win the Breeders' Cup Classic twice. He is out of the mare Storm Tide, a daughter of Storm Cat.
He was owned by WinStar Farm during most his racing career, and was also bred by them in partnership with Dr. William Lockridge. He was later owned by Casner Racing, the personal stable of Bill Casner, a partner of Winstar Farm.

## Racing career

American Lion finished second in his debut race as a juvenile in 2009, and broke his maiden in his second start. He went on to win the Grade 3 Hollywood Prevue Stakes to close out his season.
As a three-year-old, American Lion was second in the Grade 2 Robert B. Lewis Stakes and fourth in the San Felipe Stakes.
He then won the Grade 3 Illinois Derby for his second graded stakes victory. After the Illinois Derby, he contested the 2010 Kentucky Derby, finishing 11th.
American Lion was initially retired from racing, and spent a year away before returning to the track in 2011. He finished fourth in his return race in June of that year, and made his final start afterwards in the Wickerr Stakes, finishing 10th.

## Retirement

American Lion retired to stud in 2012 at Darby Dan Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, where he stood for five years until being relocated to River Oaks Farm in Sulphur, Oklahoma in 2017.
American Lion found little success as a stallion, with his best runner being Extinct Charm, a graded-stakes placed stakes winner.
American Lion was slated to be sold in the 2018 Keeneland November Sale as a stallion prospect, but was withdrawn after falling ill. “He came in with a little bit of a temperature, which is not unusual for horses shipping a distance, but very soon he was going downhill very rapidly,” recalls Tony Lacy of Four Star Sales, the consignor of American Lion. “We called Hagyard [Equine Medical Institute], and Luke Fallon and his staff came out. The horse had severe pneumonia, with some really significant side-effects. We knew, at that point, we had to get the horse into the hospital. He was very ill, very quickly. The conversation was no longer will the horse be able to return to the sale. It was basically will he make it?”
Through the aid of many veterinarians and the donations of veterinary workers, American Lion recovered from his illness. Breeder and former owner WinStar Farm housed American Lion during recovery.
American Lion was pensioned from stud duty and gelded, and was retrained for second career through New Vocations, a retirement facility dedicated to the retraining of retired racehorses.
