# Barbara Tennant

Barbara Tennant (19 May 1892 – 18 March 1982) was an English actress. She appeared in over a hundred silent films between 1912 and 1928.

## Early life

Barbara Tennant was born in London, and began performing there. She moved to North America as a young actress and dancer with the Ben Greet company, and lived in Montreal while touring in various theatrical productions.

## Film career

Tennant appeared in over a hundred silent films, many of them short productions, between 1912 and 1928. Her first film was Chamber of Forgetfulness (1912), and her last film credit was in A Jim Jam Janitor (1928). Other notable appearances were as Maid Marian in an adaptation of Robin Hood (1912) with Alec B. Francis and George Larkin; in Into the Wilderness (1914) and The Price of Malice (1916), both directed by Oscar A. C. Lund; as the title character in M'Liss (1915), based on a story by Bret Harte; The Better Wife (1919), starring Clara Kimball Young; in Captain January (1924), starring Baby Peggy; and in The Devil Dancer (1927), featuring Anna May Wong.
Tennant worked at Eclair Studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey, between 1911 and 1915. By 1919, she was based in Los Angeles, working with producer Jesse Hampton. She was ill for a few years, effectively ending her career momentum, though she made a comeback in 1922, and she appeared in films as late as 1931. "I love it all so," she explained. "I can't leave it."

## Films in the news

Tennant was in one of the first films rejected by the British Board of Film Classification in 1913, when she starred as the Virgin Mary in The Crimson Cross, apparently violating rules about the depiction of religious figures.
In 2011, the Russian government presented ten American silent films, previously considered lost, to the Library of Congress. One of those films, Circus Days (1923), starred Tennant and Jackie Coogan.

# Bilston Tree

The Bilston Tree or Bilston's Tree is a very large river red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) growing near Brimboal in far western Victoria. The tree was saved from being felled in June 1961 for railway sleepers by local community action led by Bill Flentje, the District Forester at Casterton.
Negotiations between the Forests Commission Victoria (FCV) with the landowners, Mr Tomas Henry Bilston and his brother Mr John Wheeler Bilston, as well as Mr Lance Thyear from Pyramid Sawmills, led to the purchase the tree on 6 March 1962 for 70 pounds as compensation for the loss of revenue. The Bilston brothers donated a small patch of land (1 acre, 1 rood, 26 perches) plus a right of carriageway. The land was subsequently declared reserved forest on 28 May 1964 by the FCV.
In 1961, the tree was thought be about 400 years old and had a circumference estimated between 27 and 29 feet (measured at shoulder height - 5 foot). The total height was 135 feet. The Bilston Tree is commonly claimed to have germinated in 1200 AD making it over 800 years old, but there is no evidence for this.
The Bilston Tree is often claimed to be the world's largest river red gum but it is not. However, the unique thing about the Bilston Tree is its clear unbranched trunk, with very little taper, up some 40 feet. Estimates in 1971 suggested that 9,100 super feet (HLV) or 21.5 m3 of timber could be sawn from the tree, which is enough for over 300 railway sleepers. This probably makes the Bilston Tree the largest “merchantable” river red gum.
The tree was remeasured by a trained forester in June 2024 and had a circumference of 812 cm (at 1.3 m above the ground) and a height of 32.4 m. Reliable measurements are hard to obtain, but over the 53 year period from 1971 to 2024, the Bilston Tree grew a total of 86 cm in girth. This equates to an annual increment in its circumference of 1.62 cm/year (or 0.51 cm/year in diameter).
The crown is thinning and showing signs of senescence while there is some epicormic growth from the lower trunk. Unlike many other old river red gums, there is no major swelling at the base or large burls. Some large branches broke from the tree in 1973 and again in 2013. The more recent one has been carved by local artists.
The Bilston Tree is recorded in both the National Trust and Heritage Victoria registers.
# Régine Laurent

Régine Laurent OQ (born 1957) is a Haitian Canadian nurse who from 1980 spent 35 years working at Montreal's Santa-Cabrini Hospital. From 2009 to 2017, as the first black woman to head the Fédération interprofessionnelle de la santé du Québec (FlQ), the trade union for health services in the Province of Quebec, she successfully negotiated improved conditions for health workers from the provincial government. In May 2019, she was appointed head of Quebec's Special Commission on the Rights of the Child and Youth Protection.

## Early life

Born on 9 October 1957 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Régine Laurent was brought up in a well-to-do home together with her two brothers. Her father was a lawyer and her mother, a schoolteacher. When she was 11, the family emigrated to Canada, settling in Montreal. While studying nursing at the Cégep, she gave birth to her first son when she was 18.

## Career

After obtaining her diploma in 1979, she was engaged as a nurse of the Santa Cabrini Hospital in February 1980, after which she gave birth to her second son. She worked in several departments, including the postpartum unit which she loved. When she was unable to obtain summer holidays around 1983, she became involved in the hospital's union, becoming its president in 1985. During the 1990s, she served in various union positions. She left her partner, bringing up her children alone with the assistance of her mother. In 2004, Laurent became president of the nurses union Alliance interprofessionnelle de Montréal (AIM), a position she maintained until 2009. As such, she headed a union with some 6,000 members, including nurses and therapists from Montreal, Montérégie and Laval. In 2009, she was elected president of the Fédération interprofessionnelle de la santé du Québec.
Her action as a trade unionist included the strikes of 1989 and above all 1999, which demonstrated the importance of maintaining stability in health units and established a modern perspective in trade unionism for nurses, namely a clear focus on the patient.
In May 2019, Régine Laurent was appointed head of Quebec's Special Commission on the Rights of the Child and Youth Protection.

## Recognition

On Laurent's retirement from the FlQ in 2017, the members of the National Assembly of Quebec paid tribute to the "exceptional career of Régine Laurent" in a message which concluded: "Lastly, that it fully recognize Régine Laurent’s contribution to the advancement of equality for women, people from culturally diverse communities and workers in our society." Laurent was named an Officer of the National Order of Quebec in 2024.
# William Harvie Christie

William Harvie Christie (1808 – 19 March 1873) was an Australian politician.
He was born in Ceylon to Thomas Christie, who was the medical inspector-general, and Mary Tolfrey. He was educated in England and entered the military, becoming a lieutenant in 1827 and a captain in 1833. In 1845 he married Ellen Harrison, with whom he had five children. That year he migrated to New South Wales, where he was promoted major in 1838. He left the military in 1839 and in 1840 was appointed assistant police magistrate at Hyde Park Barracks. He was serjeant-at-arms for the New South Wales Legislative Council from 1848 to 1852, when he joined the Council as a non-elected member and served as Postmaster-General. Christie left the Council in 1856, and died at Pyrmont in 1873.
# Vladimir of Bulgaria

Vladimir-Rasate (Bulgarian: Владимир Расате) was the ruler of the First Bulgarian Empire from 889 to 893.

## Biography

In 853 or 854, the Bulgar Army led by Vladimir, the son of Boris I of Bulgaria, invaded Serbia in an attempt to exact vengeance for the previous defeat of Presian in 839-842 against Vlastimir. The Serbian Army, led by Mutimir and his brothers, defeated the Bulgars, capturing Vladimir and 12 boyars. Boris I and Mutimir agreed on peace (and perhaps an alliance), and Mutimir sent his sons Pribislav and Stefan to the border to escort the prisoners, where they exchanged items as a sign of peace. Boris gave them "rich gifts", while he was given "two slaves, two falcons, two dogs, and 80 furs".
Vladimir became ruler (Knyaz) of Bulgaria when his father Boris-Mihail I (Boris adopted the name Mihail - Michael - after his baptism) decided to retire to a monastery after a reign of 36 years. Preserved seals with the inscription "Michael the Monk, who is archon of the Bulgarians" suggest, however, that Boris I never fully relinquished his power.
Vladimir-Rasate was the oldest of Boris-Mihail's sons and possibly the only one of them who had been born before Boris' adoption of Christianity. According to Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitos, Vladimir had taken part in a Bulgarian invasion of the Serbian lands, predating the Christianization of Bulgaria. The little that is known about his reign includes a military alliance he concluded in 892 with the East Frankish (German) King Arnulf of Carinthia against Great Moravia which, having in mind the interests of the Byzantine Empire, was indirectly aimed against Constantinople. This was a serious straying from the pro-Byzantine policy of his father.
Vladimir is mainly remembered for his attempt to eliminate Christianity in Bulgaria and the re-institution of Paganism. This event is written of by Constantine of Preslav in his Didactic Gospel. Vladimir started the process of destroying the Christian temples and persecuting of the clergymen, because he regarded them as instruments of Byzantium and its efforts to influence the Bulgarian kingdom. Subsequently, in 893, Boris I angrily left the monastery and deposed his son then he blinded Vladimir and put him in a dungeon where his trails vanished.
Boris placed his third son Simeon on the Bulgarian throne during the Council of Preslav, itself a direct consequence of Vladimir-Rasate's ill-fated attempt to restore paganism.
# Montreux III

Montreux III is a live album by jazz pianist Bill Evans and bassist Eddie Gómez, recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland in 1975 and released on the Fantasy label.
The album was the third of Evans's Montreux concert recordings to be released, following Montreux II (1970) and the Grammy Award–winning Bill Evans at the Montreux Jazz Festival (1968). It was also a follow-up to the duo recording by the pianist and bassist recorded the previous year, Intuition. As on that earlier album, Evans performs on both acoustic and electric pianos.

## Repertoire

The program includes two signature works by pianist-composer John Lewis, "Django" and "Milano," both from 1954. Evans also revisits the ballad-waltz "Elsa" by Earl Zindars, which he had recorded several times previously, originally on the album Explorations, and the Cole Porter song "I Love You," which had served as the opener on his very first LP, New Jazz Conceptions. An important addition to Evans's repertoire here is the song "Minha" by Francis Hime, which would remain in his playlist for the rest of his career and be recorded live on a number of other occasions. This first recording of the song was used by the actress Lily Tomlin as background music in her one-woman show. The closer on the album is "The Summer Knows" by Michel Legrand from the 1971 film Summer of '42. Evans would heavily feature songs by Legrand in his recordings throughout the '70s.

## Reception

DownBeat reviewer Chuck Berg noted, "Throughout, the special Evans-Gomez chemistry is at work. Their intertwined exchanges, their ability to elaborate on and extend each other's ideas, and their overall musically supportive empathy form one of the most productive feedback loops in improvised music."
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and stated that "the communication between the two masterful players is quite special."
Evans biographer Keith Shadwick notes, "At Montreux Evans sounds at ease with an audience he knew had come specifically to revel in his own special qualities. ... Legrand's 'The Summer Knows' get an appropriately bittersweet rendering, including some spot-on bowed playing from Gomez."

# Aino Kallas

Aino Krohn Kallas (2 August 1878 – 9 November 1956) was a Finnish-Estonian author. Her novellas are considered to be prominent pieces of Finnish literature.

## Life

Kallas was the daughter of Julius Krohn, a nationally known Finnish scientist and fennoman, and the sister of the folklorist Kaarle Krohn and the writer Helmi Krohn. Her father was also one of the first people to publish poetry written in the Finnish language. In 1900, Kallas married Oskar Kallas, an Estonian scholar, linguist, doctor of folklore and later diplomat. The couple lived in Saint Petersburg and had five children. In 1904, they moved to Tartu, Estonia. Kallas became interested in the history and culture of her new homeland and she joined Noor-Eesti, a sociocultural society which campaigned for the independence of Estonia. Although she continued writing in Finnish, she often wrote about Estonian subjects. She lived in London from 1922 to 1934, while her husband was Estonia's ambassador to the United Kingdom. She published her diaries for the period 1897-1931 in the 1950s.
A recurring theme in Kallas's novellas is what she termed "the slaying Eros", a love that often leads to death, especially prominent in her trilogy of Barbara von Tisenhusen (1923), Reigin Pappi (The Pastor of Reigi, 1926), and Sudenmorsian (The Wolf's Bride, 1928). The Pastor of Reigi and Barbara von Tisenhusen were soon translated into English and published in 1927 as Eros the Slayer. The language of her most famous story, Sudenmorsian, a werewolf story set in 17th century Hiiumaa, is rich with archaic, Romantic, colorful prose, something of a Kallas trademark. These three stories have more recently been published in one English-language volume as Three Novels (1975). A collection of her short stories was published in English under the title The White Ship, with a foreword by John Galsworthy in 1924.
Her short story Imant and His Mother was made into opera Mare and Her Son (1935) by Finnish composer Tauno Pylkkänen.
Kallas was known as a regular resident of Hotel Arthur in Kaisaniemi, Helsinki, and she is dedicated to the hotel title room number 543.

## Awards

* Order of Merit of the Estonian Red Cross, III class (1938)
* Aleksis Kivi Award (1942)

## Legacy

The Aino Kallas Award, which recognizes Estonian individuals or collectives that have made significant contributions to the development of Estonian–Finnish cultural relations, is named after Aino Kallas.
