Melissa Matutina Williams is a historian, author and academic in the field of indigenous studies. She has contributed research about the urbanisation of Māori in New Zealand that started in the 1960s.

## Early life and education

Williams was born in Auckland, and affiliates to the Māori nations of Te Rarawa and Ngāti Maru. When she was 13 years old, she went to Panguru, a settlement in the northern Hokianga in Northland, where she lived with her grandmother.
Williams has qualifications from the University of Auckland. She completed Bachelor of Arts degrees in sociology and history, the latter with first-class honours. She went on to earn a Master of Arts degree with first-class honours in history, and a PhD in history. Her doctoral thesis was titled Back-home and home in the city: Māori migrations from Panguru to Auckland, 1930–1970.

## Career

Since 2013, Williams has held a lecturer position at the University of Auckland.
Her published book Panguru and the City: Kāinga Tahi, Kāinga Rua: An Urban Migration History (2015) highlights stories of Māori urbanisation the mostly unknown about 'dynamic Māori community sites' that were built from people who migrated from their home areas to the cities from the 1960s. Reviewer Coll Thrush praises the book saying, "the fertile intersections between past and present and between the urban and the Indigenous shape this important work, which should take its place among the best scholarship on urban Indigeneities."
Williams and Aloha Harris collaborated on the book Te ao hurihuri : the changing world, 1920-2014 (2018). Williams and Harris received a Marsden grant about how Māori held onto their aspirations for a healthy family while encountering state welfare policies.

# Malyavan

Malyavan is a character in Hindu mythology, appearing in the epic Ramayana. A rakshasa, he is the son of Sukesha, and the brother of Mālī and Sumālī. He is described to be a major counsellor to the King of Lanka, Ravana, along with also being the latter's maternal grandfather.

## Ramayana

Malyavan is against his grandson's war with Prince Rama, and attempts in vain to convince Ravana to let go to Sita; however, this counsel is rejected by Ravana:
   O King, that monarch who is versed in the fourteen sciences, who follows polity, rules an empire over a long period and overcomes his adversaries, who concludes peace or wages war at a fitting time, advances his own party and attains great power. A monarch should ally himself to one stronger than himself or to an equal; he should never underrate a foe and if he is more powerful, should make war on him. On this account I counsel an alliance with Rama and the return of Sita who is the actual cause of the dispute. Devas, Rishis, Gandharvas, all desire him to triumph; do not wage war but resolve to make peace with him!
After the death of Ravana, Malyavan maintains his position and becomes the chief counsellor of Vibhishana, Ravana's younger brother, and Malyavan's third grandson.
Malyavan's wife is Sundari, who is often stated to be beautiful. She bears him seven sons: Vajramusthi, Virupaksha, Durmukha, Suptaghna, Yajnakopa, Matta, and Unmatta, and one daughter, Anala.

## Ramakien

Malyavan is known as Thao Mali Warat (ท้าวมาลีวราช) in Ramakien, the version of the Ramayana in Thailand. He is the old brother of Thao Latsadian, the grandfather of Ravana of Lanka, and is considered to have the reputation of Brahma as a paragon of justice. Ravana invites him to judge the case of his abduction of Sita, hoping that he would rule in his favour, but the counsellor investigates all relevant witnesses with fairness, and draws up an order to return Sita to Rama. Ravana does not agree with this ruling and offends him, and therefore he curses that Ravana would die by the bow and arrow of Rama.
# Alphonse Boudard

Alphonse Boudard (17 December 1925 – 14 January 2000) was a French novelist and playwright. He won the 1977 Prix Renaudot for Les Combattants du petit bonheur. Boudard's 1995 novel Dying childhood was awarded and recognised by the French Academy with a Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française.

## Biography

Boudard was born on 17 December 1925 in the 13th arrondissement of Paris to a 17-year-old mother. He was brought up first by an adoptive family in the Loiret region of the centre of France, then by his grandmother in the south of Paris. Boudard had a late career. As a teenager, he was living in a country occupied by the German Army. He was wounded fighting for the French and he was awarded a military medal. His early adult life was spent in casual work, periods in jail and in a sanatorium recovering from tuberculosis. He experimented with writing, but it was not until he was 33 that he decided to be a full-time writer. He credited the writer Albert Paraz with inspiring this move.
His novels are characterised by the colloquial terms and slang that Boudard used to describe life in the 1940s. His works are autobiographical and he used his periods in a sanatorium and in jail as a basis for his stories. His 1963 novel The Cherry and his 1972 story The Hospital are examples, as is his 1992 novel The Amazing Mr Joseph which tells the story of a French spy who becomes a millionaire dealing on the black market during World War II (based on the real career of Joseph Joanovici).
Many of Boudard novels were adapted for French films and television.
Boudard had a wife and two sons. He died in Nice on 14 January 2000.

## Background and Eastwick Park

He was the son of James Lawrell (or Laurell), who had married in 1776 Catherine Sumner, daughter of William Brightwell Sumner and sister of the politician George Holme-Sumner. His father was an East India Company official in the Bengal Presidency. In 1801, James Lawrell senior having died, in 1799, Eastwick Park was sold by the family of the Earls of Effingham to the trustees of James Lawrell junior, still at that time a minor.
Lawrell had major building work done on the house, in 1806–1807. At this period he sold the estate and mansion attached to his father's other Surrey property, Frimley Park some way to the west, but retained the house Frimley Manor. He sold Eastwick Park in 1809, to Louis Bazalgette. Bazalgette, at one time tailor to the Prince of Wales, was a successful money-lender and financier.
"James Lawrell Esq. of Eastwick" occurs in William Carew Hazlitt's list of bibliophiles and manuscript collectors. Lawrell's library was put up for auction by Sotheby's long after his death, in 1860.

## Education

Lawrell was educated at Eton College. While at Eton, he was one of the Eton XI flogged in 1796 for taking part in a forbidden cricket match: it was against Westminster School, on Hounslow Heath. He matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford in 1800.

## Cricket

Lawrell was a member of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). Frimley had a cricket club from the 1820s. Lawrell was a sponsor of the Surrey county side, and played for them. He employed Robert Robinson, a Hambledon Club cricketer known as "Long Bob", as a gamekeeper.

## Family

Lawrell married in 1802 Maria Anne Parsons, who was the only surviving child of John Parsons. She died in 1840.
* The eldest son James George Bathoe Lawrell (c.1805–1878) was a student at Haileybury College, and was an East India Company employee, resigning in 1843. His widow Caroline Margaret died in 1879. Their only daughter Catherine Maria married in 1852 Henry Raymond-Barker. Their only son Charles James Pakenham Lawrell married in 1876 Emma Caroline West Hand, third daughter of Thomas Hand.
* The second son Horatio was expelled from Haileybury. He changed his surname to Bebb, in 1850, in order to benefit from the will of John Bebb of the East India Company.

# Mancel Talcott

Mancel Talcott, Jr. (October 12, 1817 – June 5, 1878) was a businessman and politician from Chicago, Illinois. He served as a Republican member of the Chicago City Council and the Cook County Board of Commissioners.

## Personal life

Born in Rome, New York, on October 12, 1817, to parents Mancel, Sr. and Betsy Talcott, he moved to Chicago in 1834. In 1841, he moved to a farm in Park Ridge, Illinois. In 1849, during the height of the California Gold Rush, he moved to California, where he lived for three years before returning to Park Ridge.
Mancel Talcott married Mary H. Otis on October 25, 1841. He was a member of the Church of the Redeemer, and was a major donor to the church. In 1885, his widow donated the property upon which the Church of the Redeemer built their new church.
In 1874, Talcott was the victim of a home invasion. While fighting off the invader, Talcott swung a chair, which struck a gas fixture, causing an explosion that injured him severely and from which he never fully recovered. He died at his home in Chicago on June 5, 1878, from a heart ailment, though the lingering effects of the gas explosion was believed to have been a contributing factor. Mancel Talcott Public School, in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, is named in his honor.

## Business career

In 1854, Talcott entered into a business partnership with Horace M. Singer and co-founded the Singer & Talcott Stone Company. He also co-founded the First National Bank of Chicago and served periods as president of the Union Stock Yards National Bank and the Excelsior Stone Company.

## Political career

In 1854, Talcott was a delegate to the Anti-Nebraska State Convention. In 1863, he was elected alderman for Chicago's Ninth Ward. He ran for re-election in 1864, but lost the Republican primary. However, he was reelected in 1865 and served until 1867. In November 1871, Talcott was elected in the first election for the Cook County Board of Commissioners. Ten days after taking office as county commissioner, the county board elected him to the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners, and he resigned his position on the county board. On December 18, 1871, he was elected president of the police board. As president of the police board, Talcott pushed for stricter enforcement of the city's law prohibiting the sale of alcohol on Sundays, but encountered opposition from those who felt that to do so would be politically damaging. He remained on the police board until December 2, 1872.
