# John North (City of York MP)

John North was one of two Members of the Parliament of England for the constituency of York on two occasions between 1545–47 and October 1553 and April 1554.

## Life and politics

John was born in about 1495 into a family of craftsmen. He lived his entire life in St. Margaret's parish in Walmgate, despite owning many properties later in life. He married Agnes, daughter of John Roger and had at least one son.
He was a tanner and made a freeman of the city in 1515. He also dealt in corn and lime. It was the latter trade that brought him into conflict with other merchants when he caused a rise in the price of corn by buying up supplies from the East Riding and Lincolnshire. His business dealings made him amongst the richest laymen in the city. His wealth was helped by his marriage to Agnes, whose father was one of three richest people of his generation. He held several important positions in the city. He followed the established career progression by becoming a bridgemaster first in 1523-24. He was responsible for collecting revenue of those who had properties on Ousebridge. He then became a junior chamberlain in 1527-28 before being appointed a sheriff in 1529-30. He became an alderman in 1534, a position he held until his death. He was Lord Mayor on two occasions between 1538–39 and again between 1554-55. In between those spells as Lord Mayor he was chosen as MP for the city of York also on two occasions between 1545–47 and again in the short session between October 1553 and April 1554. He was also a member of the guild of St Christopher and St George, rising to the rank of Keeper.
His main political activity was in regard of providing military aid to the Crown at the time of Wyatt's rebellion during his second term as mayor, and restoring plays and religious processions in the city, specifically those on St Gerorge's Day and Whit Tuesday. In 1547 the city council of York, in response from a letter form the King's Council of 12 July, appointed John as Captain of a force of foot soldiers to be made ready to head to Flamborough to defend the east coast following the sighting of sixteen warships.
He died in 1558 and was buried in St Margaret's Church in Walmgate. In his will he bequeathed his property of nineteen houses, nine closes, two gardens, two orchards, a bowling alley and a dovecote to his wife, son and granddaughters, as well as lands in Fulford and leases in Skirpenbeck. He left charitable donations of sixpence to every house in his parish.
# SoundTracker (Unix)

SoundTracker is a free tracker for Unix-like operating systems running X Window System for composing music to be saved in module files.

## Description

Its name is a tribute to the 1987 Amiga program Ultimate Soundtracker which is regarded as the first program of this type, while its user interface mostly resembles and indeed functionally mimics Fast Tracker, one of many popular MS-DOS-based audio trackers, supporting saving in its file formats. It generally renders playback using the OpenCP (à la Cubic Player) engine. Initially SoundTracker had used GTK+ (version 1) as its widget toolkit, modern versions (since 1.0.0) use GTK+ 2. For many years, SoundTracker was one of the very few mature audio trackers available for Unix-like operating systems.

# Rising Card

The Rising Card is a popular category of magical illusion in which the magician causes randomly selected playing cards to spontaneously rise from the center of a deck. Many variations of this trick exist and are widely performed.The effect can be accomplished using a variety of methods and techniques, ranging from pure sleight of hand to complex electronic and mechanical solutions.

## Variations

An early rising card trick, as described by Tommaso Garzoni, was performed by Abramo Colorni in the 16th century.
Magician Howard Thurston is attributed with creating a unique take on the Rising Card. As described by Smithsonian magazine:
   One, called the "Rising Card," started with an audience member choosing certain cards, as if for a regular card trick. But expectations were turned upside down when Thurston put the deck into a glass goblet. He would then call up certain cards—the king of spades, the ten of clubs—and they would rise two feet in the air, into his hands. The dazzling end came when all 52 cards were thrown, serially, into the audience. One reporter wrote that they fluttered to audience members "like beautiful butterflies."
A similar variation is attributed to magician and inventor Samuel Cox Hooker. This version includes cards rising from the deck and floating in air beneath a glass bell jar. This complex, multi-stage iteration of the Rising Card effect was reenacted by John Gaughan in 2007 and has inspired curiosity and speculation as to the methods behind it.
In his Complete Encyclopedia of Magic, Joseph Dunninger shares a number of variations of the Rising Card effect, including ones where the deck of cards is held in the magician's hand, or placed in a wine glass on a table. Magician Jeff McBride developed a version of the Rising Card effect where the card rises while the deck is held by a spectator; entitled "Kundalini Rising," McBride's variation links the Rising Card effect to mythology- and religion-themed storytelling.

## Methods

Magicians accomplish the Rising Card effect using a variety of methodologies that include both sleight of hand techniques and mechanical solutions involving threads, weights, rubber rollers, elastics, adhesives, electronics, motors, and more.
Historic versions of the Rising Card in particular often involved complex mechanics and automation, similar to clock and watch-making technology, to accomplish the effect.
While some versions of the Rising Card involve complex equipment and carefully prepared decks, other variations can be accomplished using only special hand positions and an unaltered deck of cards.
