# La Dentellière

La Dentellière ("The Lacemaker") is a French novel by Pascal Lainé. It was awarded the Prix Goncourt (France's most prestigious literary award) in 1974. It was made into a film with Isabelle Huppert in 1977 (directed by Claude Goretta).
It was translated into English by George Crowther in 1976 as A Web of Lace and in 2006 by David Dugan. An excerpt of the 2006 translation appeared in the literary journal The Dirty Goat in 2008.
In simple, precise language, Pascal Lainé paints his character's portrait in her original setting: "She was like one of those genre paintings where the subject is captured in mid-movement. Her way, for example, of pursing hairpins in her lips as she redid her hair bun! She was The Laundress, The Water Girl, or The Lacemaker."

## Plot

Apple's story begins in a village in northern France. Her father has left and her mother works both as a barmaid and prostitute and they live in a noisy roadside apartment. We meet her again at age 18, living with her mother in a suburb of Paris and working at a hair salon near St. Lazare train station. At night mother and daughter watch TV or Apple reads romance novels and magazines. Her first friend in Paris is Marilyn, a 30-year-old redhead who is unsuccessfully modeling her life after a romance novel. She tries to make Apple more like herself, gets her to drink whiskey and wear makeup, but she begrudges Apple's simplicity and the friendship doesn't survive the entrance of Marilyn's next boyfriend.
Marilyn abandons Apple while the two friends are vacationing in Cabourg. Apple is left eating an ice cream at a tea shop when Aimery de Béligny shows up. Aimery is initially fascinated by Apple's simplicity. An intellectual from a respectable family, he is different from Apple in every way. Her docile sincerity charms him at first; they live together in his studio in Paris where she expresses her devotion through continuous housework. But such humble tenderness only irritates the student, who thinks the intellectual gap between them is too profound. He breaks up with her and leaves. Apple takes off her rubber gloves, puts away her cleanser and leaves without complaint. She returns to her mother's convinced that she is unworthy and ugly and she loses what interest she had in life. She stops eating and ends up in a mental hospital.
Apple is surrounded with characters who believe they know how to express themselves, while she remains mute. Her silent suffering is the central light of the book, like the candle in Vermeer's painting.
# Lauzinaj

Lauzinaj (Arabic: لوزينج), also spelled lawzinaj, lawzinaq, luzina is an almond-based confection known from medieval Arab cuisine. Described as the "food of kings" and "supreme judge of all sweets", by the 13th-century lauzinaj had entered medieval European cuisine from the Andalusian influence, returning Crusaders and Latin translations of cookery books.

## History

References about the confection abound in Arabic literature. It is mentioned by the 10th-century poet Al-Ma'muni, and Sahnun, a qadi who advises one of his students that the reward for long hours of studying law is the prospect of earning enough wealth to eat pistachio filled lauzinaj.
Two versions of the dish are known from medieval texts:
* Lauzinaj mugharraq or "drenched lauzinaj", some scholars believe this dish is an earlier version of baklava (though Charles Perry has written that "it was not much like baklava"). It was made by filling thin pastry dough with a mixture of ground almond (and sometimes other nuts like pistachio or walnut), rosewater, and sometimes luxury flavorings like mastic, ambergris, or musk.
* Lauzinaj yabis was made with ground almonds cooked in boiling honey or sugar until reaching a taffy like consistency. The raw version, closer to marzipan in consistency, was made by blending the almonds with sugar and flavoring with camphor, musk and rosewater. The finished confection was molded into animal or other shapes, or cut into squares and triangles.

## Preparation

One historic recipe is given in the 10th-century that describes how to make lauzinaj by blending crushed sugar and almonds with rosewater, and rolling it in thin dough, similar to sanbusaj (samosa) dough, but ideally even thinner. The poet Ibn al-Rumi compared the dough to grasshopper wings. The finished pastry would be drenched in rosewater-flavored simple syrup and garnished with crushed pistachio.
# Dick Spooner

Richard Thompson Spooner (30 December 1919 – 20 December 1997) was an English cricketer who played for Warwickshire and England.
A latecomer who did not play first-class cricket until he was 28, Spooner was a quick-witted left-handed batsman who could open the innings or bat further down the order, and a reliable wicket-keeper whose opportunities at Test level were limited because he was an exact contemporary of Godfrey Evans.

## Life and career

Spooner was born in Thornaby-on-Tees in the North Riding of Yorkshire. He played Minor Counties cricket for Durham in 1946 and 1947, and moved straight into the first eleven at Warwickshire for the 1948 season. His batting took a while to develop, but he scored more than 1,000 runs in 1950 and was chosen for the Commonwealth XI which toured India in 1950–51. He did well both as batsman and wicket-keeper, but had to return early through illness.
But the following season, 1951, he jumped right to the front rank of wicketkeeper-batsmen, regularly opening the innings for Warwickshire and scoring more than 1,700 runs, with four centuries. Warwickshire won the County Championship for only the second time, and Spooner was picked for the 1951–52 MCC tour of India, Pakistan and Ceylon under Nigel Howard, from which several England regulars, including Evans, absented themselves. There, he played in all five Tests against India, opening the innings in most of them and scoring 319 runs with an average of 35. His batting ability probably won him selection for the Tests ahead of Don Brennan, the other wicketkeeper on the tour. In the third Test on a dead pitch at Eden Gardens, Calcutta, he top-scored in both England innings, with 71 in the first innings and his Test-best of 92 in the second. He also scored 168 not out in the match against Pakistan in Lahore after MCC trailed by 174 on the first innings.
This international form was not enough, though, to earn Spooner selection in the home series against India in 1952, and he made only two further Test appearances. On the English tour of the West Indies in 1953–54, he replaced the injured Evans for the fourth Test on another lifeless pitch at Port of Spain, Trinidad. And finally in 1955, in the final Test at The Oval against South Africa, he won a home Test cap, again when Evans was injured (though Arthur McIntyre had been Evans' replacement in the fourth Test). This final Test, in which England won the series 3–2 late on the last scheduled afternoon, was not a total personal success: Spooner conceded no byes, but failed to score in either innings.
In fact, Spooner's batting declined noticeably after the high point of 1951. He made 1,000 runs in each of the next four seasons, though at a lower average, but by the later 1950s he was batting further down the order and averaging, at best, in the low 20s. After a poor season in 1959, he retired.
Spooner became a groundsman in Devon. He died in Torquay in December 1997 at the age of 77.
# Tommy Sopwith (racing driver)

Thomas Edward Brodie Sopwith (15 November 1932 – 4 May 2019) was a British businessman and car racing driver.

## Biography

Thomas Sopwith was the son of English aviation pioneer and yachtsman Sir Thomas Sopwith – builder of the Sopwith Camel and later chairman of Hawker Aircraft – and Phyllis Brodie. He was educated at Stowe School, Buckinghamshire.
Sopwith took up motor racing and formed his own team, Equipe Endeavour, named after his father's racing yacht. His success as a racing driver saw him win the first-ever round of the British Saloon Car Championship in 1958. That year he narrowly lost out on the driver's title to Jack Sears after a ten lap shoot-out at the end of the season, after the two drivers finished on equal points. In 1961 he switched from car to powerboat racing. In 1961 He won the first ever Cowes - Torquay race in Thundebolt, following up with wins in 1968 (Telstar) and 1970 (Miss Enfield II). In 1965 he won the Cornish "100" Offshore Class 3, powerboat race in a boat called 'Thunderflash', just beating Mike Beard in 'Mongaso'.
He was the owner of Endeavour Holdings Limited, a car dealership in Portslade, Brighton, with a turnover of £17 million.
He died on 4 May 2019 at the age of 86 at Basingstoke Hospital.

# Richard Tindall

Richard Geoffrey Tindall (20 February 1912 – 22 January 1942) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.

## Early life, cricket and pre-WWII

Born at Sherborne, Dorset, Tindall was the eldest son of schoolmaster Kenneth Bassett Tindall and his wife Theodora Mary Tindall. His early education was undertaken at Hawtreys at Westgate-on-Sea, from which he attended Winchester College. From Winchester, he went up to Trinity College, Oxford, where he studied Classical Moderations and Modern Greats.
He first played minor counties cricket for Dorset in the 1931 Minor Counties Championship. His debut in first-class cricket came at the University Parks in 1933 for Oxford University against Yorkshire. Tindall played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1933 and 1934, making 18 appearances. He scored 610 runs during his first-class career, averaging 22.59, with a high score of 113; as a fast bowler, Tindall took 50 wickets at a bowling average of 31.62, twice taking a five wicket haul. His best bowling figures of 5/73 came against the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1934. His highest batting score of 113, which was also his only century in first-class cricket, came in the same match.
Tindall also played for Oxford University A.F.C., winning a Blue in both cricket and football. He left Oxford with Third Class Honours. After graduating from Oxford, Tindall joined the staff at Eton College as a sports coach. He continued to play minor counties cricket until 1939, making a total of 49 appearances for Dorset in the Minor Counties Championship. As part of his duties with Eton, Tindall served in the Eton contingent of the Officers' Training Corps, entering in 1934 with rank of second lieutenant. He gained the rank of lieutenant in January 1938, with promotion to captain following in July 1938.

## War service and death

With the onset of World War II, he was commissioned in the King's Royal Rifle Corps (KRRC), At Tindall's own request, he reverted to the rank of Lieutenant in September 1940. He left with the 1st Armoured Division for North Africa on 23 September 1941. After a period of desert acclimatization, Tindall, who was by now in charge of D Company in the KRRC (having regained the rank of captain), set off for Libya. After driving for 700 miles, Tindall's battalion reached the front lines at Antelat, some forty miles north-east of Ajdabiya, where he saw immediate action.
On 21 January 1942, the German Afrika Korps attacked the British lines with tanks. With few anti-tank guns and little air support, the British were forced to retreat. Tindall was killed the following day in an air raid. His younger brother, Mark, also served in the KRRC and died in a training accident in August 1942. He is commemorated at the Alamein Memorial.

# Tom Spencer (cricketer)

Thomas William Spencer OBE (22 March 1914 – 1 November 1995) was an English first-class sportsman who played first-class cricket for Kent County Cricket Club and association football for Lincoln City in the Football League. He was later a notable cricket umpire who stood in 17 Test matches and six One Day Internationals.

## Cricket career
### Playing

Spencer played 76 matches for Kent either side of World War II as an attacking batsman. His batting average was 20.11, he took one wicket for 19 runs from the five overs he bowled, and took 36 catches. Although Spencer won his County cap, his career was disrupted by World War II in which he served in the Royal Air Force.

### Umpiring

At the suggestion of Frank Chester, Spencer joined the first-class umpire's list in 1950 and was appointed to his first Test in 1954. For reasons he never understood he had to wait 15 years before he was asked again. Years later he claimed to have been "a bit disgusted," but that he "was determined to plod on and become a bloody good county umpire." Spencer eventually stood in 17 Test matches, the last in 1978, and six One Day Internationals, including the first ODI at Lord's in 1972 and the first World Cup final in 1975. For the last 20 years until his retirement in 1980 he travelled to matches by train rather than car which he said allowed him to rest his eyes between appointments. In all, Spencer stood in a record 570 County Championship matches and 701 first-class fixtures, a total second only to Chester.

## Football career

Spencer was with his local club Hastings & St Leonards until September 1933 after which he had a short spell with Bexhill of the Sussex County League. He moved on to Southern League club Tunbridge Wells Rangers and then in July 1936 was signed by Second Division Club Fulham, but he did not make any league appearances for them. In November 1936 Spencer joined Lincoln City of Division 3 North and played in four league matches scoring one goal which he scored on 25 December 1936 against Rotherham United. From the 1937–38 season he returned to playing non-league football in the Kent League, firstly for a season with Ashford and then for the 1938–39 season with Sittingbourne.

## Personal life

Spencer was a natural sportsman. He claimed to have played four sports professionally, the other two being table tennis and boxing. After retiring from cricket he moved into professional coaching at Wrekin School and for many years he spent the northern winter coaching at St. Patrick's Christian Brothers' College, Kimberley in South Africa.
Spencer was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1976 Birthday Honours.
In later life he lived for many years in the North East. During June 1981 he wrote a series of historic career articles in the Newcastle based Sunday Sun newspaper. His death in 1995 was reported in his local media, but overlooked in the wider cricketing world. His obituary did not appear in Wisden or The Cricketer until 2003.
# 2000 Fijian mutinies

Two military mutinies took place in connection with the civilian coup d'état that occurred in Fiji in 2000, the first while the rebellion instigated by George Speight was in progress, and the second four months after it had ended.

## The Sukunaivalu Barracks mutiny (7 July 2000)

On 7 July 2000, rebel soldiers supporting George Speight overran the Sukunaivalu Barracks in Labasa, the largest town on the northern island of Vanua Levu.

## The Queen Elizabeth Barracks mutiny (2 November 2000)

The second mutiny, which took place on 2 November 2000 at Suva's Queen Elizabeth Barracks, was led by Captain Shane Stevens. It left three soldiers dead. In the aftermath of the failed attempt to depose the Military Commander, Commodore Frank Bainimarama, four of the rebels were tortured and killed by loyal soldiers.

### Court martial

On 16 August 2005, the Fiji Court of Appeal delivered a landmark ruling, ordering a retrial of 20 soldiers from the Counter Revolutionary Warfare Unit (CRW) who had been convicted in a court martial of participating in the 2000 coup and in a subsequent mutiny in November 2000, and sentenced to prison terms of between three and six years.
# Shoemaker (lunar crater)

Shoemaker is a lunar impact crater located near the southern pole of the Moon, within half a crater diameter of Shackleton.

## Crater

It lies to the south of the crater Malapert, to the east of Haworth, and just to the west of the similar-sized Faustini. The rim of Shoemaker is circular and worn, with some small craters along the inner wall. Due to the lack of illumination (it is a crater of eternal darkness), the albedo of the interior floor surface remains unknown.
Prior to being given its current name by the IAU, this formation had been informally named Mawson (after the Antarctic explorer Douglas Mawson). It was officially named Shoemaker in honor of Eugene Shoemaker, the geologist whose remains were on board the Lunar Prospector spacecraft that impacted this crater floor. Deposition of Shoemaker's remains was criticized by indigenous peoples as a desecration of the venerated Moon.

### Cold trap deposits

This crater became of interest to scientists when the Lunar Prospector detected unusually high concentrations of hydrogen on the floor of this and other nearby craters using a neutron spectrometer. The floor of this crater is kept in permanent shadow from the Sun, and thus maintains a temperature below 100 K (−173 °C). Thus the floor forms a cold trap, and any molecules of water that wander into the crater from cometary impacts can deposit on the floor and remain there almost permanently. The instruments on board Lunar Prospector gave a concentration of about 146 ppm of hydrogen, compared to 50 ppm for the average lunar surface.
The topography of this crater was subsequently measured using the Goldstone 70 m antenna to irradiate it with 3.5 cm radar. Two 34 m antennae, located 20 km apart, received the echoes, and the results were used to generate a topographic map with 150 m resolution.
On July 31, 1999, Lunar Prospector was deliberately crashed into the floor of this crater to determine if a plume of water vapor would be detected. The apparent detection of water and the shallow rim of this crater made it a suitable target for this experiment. However the outcome was unsuccessful. Subsequent tests have failed to confirm the presence of water in the crater floor, so the hydrogen found in the crater bottom is likely to prove more difficult to extract than had been originally hoped.
# Andrew Hurry

Andrew Hurry (born 15 October 1964) is director of cricket at Somerset County Cricket Club.
A former Royal Marines fitness instructor and amateur cricketer with both Taunton and Wembdon Cricket Clubs, Hurry joined Somerset in March 2001 as Fitness Instructor, introducing yoga as an activity for the 2002 season.
For the 2005 season, Hurry was named Second XI coach, but left to coach the United Arab Emirates national cricket team.
Hurry rejoined Somerset as First XI coach in February 2006 to replace England bound Mark Garaway, having achieved England and Wales Cricket Board coaching qualifications up to Level Four.
In the 2007 season, with Justin Langer as captain and Hurry as coach, Somerset won the County Championship second division with 10 victories in 16 matches, after finishing last in 2006. The county was also promoted in the Natwest Pro40 one-day competition. By June 2008 the county led the first division of the County Championship.
In September 2009, Hurry signed an extended contract with the club, tying him to Somerset until 2012. As part of a restructuring at the end of the 2013 season, Hurry's role as first XI coach was subsumed into Director of Cricket David Nosworthy's role with Hurry becoming Director of High Performance responsible for overseeing the transition of young cricketers into the First XI environment.
At the end of the 2014 season, Hurry was appointed by the ECB as the new head of the England Development Programme.
In October 2017, Hurry returned to Somerset for a third time after being appointed the club's new Director of Cricket.
# John Timms

John Edward Timms (3 November 1906 – 18 March 1980) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Northamptonshire. He was a right-handed middle order batsman and a part time right arm medium pace bowler.
Timms made his first-class debut in 1925, aged 18 and scored his maiden century the following season. He passed 1,000 runs in a season on 11 occasions during his career with a best of 1629 runs in 1934 which he made at an average of 34.65. That year he also made his highest score for Northamptonshire, 213 against Worcestershire at Stourbridge.
