# Banque de la Guadeloupe

The Banque de la Guadeloupe was a bank of issue on the island of Guadeloupe, France. It was established in 1853, lost its monetary role in 1944, and merged in 1967 with the Banque de la Martinique to form the Banque des Antilles Françaises (BDAF).

## Overview

The Second French Republic enacted legislation on 11 July 1851 that created a framework for the establishment of colonial banks, partly as a response to the economic consequences of the end of slavery in France in 1848. Like peers such as the Banque de l'Algérie and Banque du Sénégal, it was both a commercial bank and a bank of issue. In correspondence with the Comptoir National d'Escompte de Paris in mainland France, the bank was long controlled by the dominant local group of white creole businesspeople known as usiniers as they controlled the sugar factories (French: usines à sucre) that were the core of the island's economy.
The bank lost its issuance privilege in the turmoil of World War II, when the Caisse Centrale de la France d'Outre-Mer (CCFOM) was designated as monetary authority for the island and other French Caribbean territories on 1 July 1944.$^{:23}$ In practice, the Banque de la Guadeloupe kept issuing the Guadeloupe franc until 1952 by delegation of the CCFOM. It remained in activity as a commercial bank.
In 1967, the Banque de la Guadeloupe merged with its peer in Martinique and with Union-Banque.
In stages between 2014 and 2016, the BDAF was taken over by the Caisse d'Épargne Provence Alpes Corse (CEPAC), a cooperative member bank of Groupe BPCE based in Marseille, of which it became a fully owned subsidiary.

# Whitesmith maze

50°54′22″N 0°10′43″E﻿ / ﻿50.90611°N 0.17861°E﻿ / 50.90611; 0.17861
A plantation of willows near Whitesmith, East Sussex, in England forms a maze in the shape of a quotation from the Bible. The maze was planted by local farmer Peter Gunner in the 1990s in the form of his favourite biblical passage. The maze was little noticed until spotted on Google Earth aerial photography in 2013, when it was reported in the media.

## Description

In the 1990s, Peter Gunner, a committed Christian, was inspired by his faith to plant a maze on his farm near Whitesmith, East Sussex. He selected a passage from his favourite verse from the Bible: the 14th chapter of the Gospel of John. In this verse, Jesus responds to Thomas the Apostle's question: "How can we know the way?" with "I am the way, the truth and the life". Gunner designed the maze on a computer, substituting the at sign (@) for the word "the" and prefacing the quote with Jesus' name. Gunner marked out the design in the field using a tape measure and string. He first mowed the design into the grass before planting, with the assistance of volunteers, thousands of willow trees. His first attempt failed, as it became overgrown with thistles, so he pulled up the trees and started afresh.
The Whitesmith maze is not a true maze, as people can walk freely between the individual letters of the quotations. Gunner also installed posts in the maze, carrying quotations from other biblical verses. He stated that he intended people to get lost in the maze as a metaphor, and has said that "the maze is a lot like life: no one knows what it looks like from above. You can wander through life confused, when in fact it makes sense from a different perspective". He opens the maze up regularly for his friends and fellow churchgoers. Gunner has also written the word "rejoice" on the top of his barn using coloured tiles.
Despite a public footpath running alongside the site of the maze, it initially attracted little attention. Gunner said that only one passer-by, an autistic girl, recognised that the trees formed letters. It was spotted by some microlight pilots and in 2005 Gunner was given a photograph of the maze taken from a helicopter by a neighbour who was a police officer. The maze attracted media attention in 2013 when it was spotted by users of Google Earth. In reviewing the aerial photography Gunner spotted that the letter "a" in "am" was slightly skewed, as was the top of the "J" in "Jesus". He said that "every time I see a plane go over I look at it and say a little prayer ... I hope that somebody sees it and feels inspired by it."
# Mary Immaculate, Refuge of Sinners Church

Mary Immaculate, Refuge of Sinners is a Roman Catholic church in Rathmines, Dublin built in 1854 in the "Greek style". The church was originally designed by Patrick Byrne and later extended by William Henry Byrne who added a portico and pediment.
The interior of the church, roof and dome were destroyed by a fire on 26 January 1920, but were rebuilt and reopened by 1922. The dome was made even higher in the rebuilding effort.

## Trivia

It is mentioned as "Rathmines' blue dome" in Ulysses.
Two characters in Sally Rooney's 2021 novel Beautiful World, Where Are You attend Mass in the church.
# Lovejoy (novel series)

Lovejoy is a series of picaresque novels by John Grant (under the pen name Jonathan Gash) about the adventures of Lovejoy, a British antiques dealer and faker based in East Anglia. A less than scrupulous yet likeable rogue, Lovejoy has a reputation in the antiques trade as a "divvie", meaning one with an almost supernatural talent for recognising exceptional items as well as for distinguishing fakes or forgeries from genuine antiques. Lovejoy's first name is never mentioned in the books. In the TV series based on the novels, he insists on being addressed by all solely as "Lovejoy".

## Television adaptation

Lovejoy, a television adaptation of the books starring Ian McShane, aired from 1986 to 1994 for a total of 73 episodes. The first series, aired in 1986, adapted many plots and characters from the books, while new material created for the TV show was added from the second series onwards.

# Chellapilla Venkata Rao

Chellapilla Venkata Rao (1910–1971) was an Indian botanist.

## Education

He was awarded his PhD from the University of Tasmania in 1957 with a thesis entitled Cytotaxonomic studies in the Proteaceae.

## Academic appointments

He worked in the Department of Botany, Andhra University, Waltair, from 1948 to 1967. During this period he worked for three years on the Palmaceae as a senior post-doctoral fellow of the National Institute of Science of India. From 1955 to 1957, under the Colombo plan as a post-doctoral research scholar working with H.N. Barber at the University of Tasmania, he received a PhD (in addition to his earlier D.Sc. from Andhra University – for work on Malvaceae). From 1967 until his death in 1971, he was head of the department of botany, Andhra University Postgraduate Centre, Guntur, India, where he both taught and wrote.

## Research interests

A major interest was the family Proteaceae, and in 1971, CSIR published his monograph on the family. The monograph was said by J.P.Rourke of the Compton Herbarium, himself a specialist in Proteaceae, to be
   a broad survey of the whole family on the basis of the anatomy and morphology of the leaves, stems, inflorescences, flowers, and fruits of representative species from most of the living genera. Embryological features are treated in detail and accounts of the cytology and fossil records are also provided....As the leading researcher on this family, Venkata Rao has, not unnaturally, drawn heavily on his own work but has nevertheless succeeded in dealing with the literature as a whole in a comprehensive manner.
A second reviewer, Ronald Melville (of Kew Gardens), disagreed with Rao's phylogenetic and evolutionary conclusions but thought that many would be grateful to Venkata Rao "for bringing together in one volume such a detailed, comparative account of the vegetative and floral morphology and anatomy, the cytology and embryology, which will make it a valuable work of reference for a long time to come."
Within the Proteaceae, he authored the tribes, Macadamieae and Lambertieae (basionym of Lambertiinae) (both now subsumed into the Grevilleoideae). He also worked on other families, in particular, the Sterculiaceae, Malvaceae and Bombacaceae (now subsumed in an enlarged Malvaceae), and also Euphorbiaceae, Elaeocarpaceae and Apocynaceae.
His work centred on plant anatomy, morphology and embryology and also involved other families.
The standard author abbreviation Venk.Rao is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.
