# Paul Braddon

Paul Braddon (1864–1937) was an English artist who predominantly painted landscape scenes in the watercolour medium. He was influenced by the work of Paul Marny.

## Life and work

Paul Braddon was the pseudonym of James Leslie Crees. He was born at 46, Ledsam Street in Birmingham on 10 July 1864. In his early years he created architectural drawings of continental cathedrals and churches. Later he abandoned this style in favour of the watercolours for which he is best known. He made pencil sketches of buildings and scenes, carefully annotated, from which he produced the eventual watercolours.
Braddon was a prolific painter whose works were widely appreciated for their detail and atmospheric quality. Educated in Europe, Braddon developed a keen interest in art at an early age and honed his skills in various European art academies. Traveling extensively, he captured the essence of the European countryside, urban scenes, and coastal views in his art. His works often reflected a romantic and sometimes idealized vision of the landscape, which was common among artists of his time.
Braddon's paintings were exhibited in numerous exhibitions, including the prestigious Royal Academy in London. Despite the popularity of his work during his lifetime, Paul Braddon contributions to the art of watercolor painting and his documentation of landscapes and cityscapes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries remain valued by collectors and historians.
His output was prolific, as it needed to be in order for him to earn a living. For several years he painted exclusively for a London firm which sold many of his pictures in the United States. He died aged 73 on 24 July 1937 in Thornton Heath, Croydon, Surrey, and was buried on 24 July 1937 in Addington, Surrey..
Paul Braddon's work has been offered at auction multiple times, with realized prices ranging from 16 USD to 900 USD, depending on the size and medium of the artwork. Since 2001 the record price for this artist at auction is 900 USD for Rouen Cathedral West Front, sold at Leland Little Auction & Estate Sales in 2012.

## Exhibitions and collections

Paul Braddon's work can be found in a number of museums and art galleries worldwide including Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Shrewsbury Museum, Yale Museum in Hartford USA; The Metropolitan Museum in New York City USA; Dunedin Public Art Gallery in New Zealand; the Victoria and Albert Museum in London UK; Edinburgh Museum and Art Gallery, The Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum, Inverclyde Museum, Bronte Museum, municipal collections include Somerset County Council, and Blackburn Grammar School.
# Noah's Ark (British TV series)

Noah's Ark is a British television series about a country veterinarian and his family, aired on ITV. The first series of six episodes was broadcast in September to October 1997. A second series, also of six episodes, aired a year later.

## Overview

Noah's Ark was a family TV story of a country veterinarian, Noah Kirby, his wife Valerie, son Tom and his girlfriend, Noah’s assistant, Clare. Noah and Tom Kirby, father and son, are both vets.
Noah has a country practice, and is still running it much as he did when Tom was a child. He wants Tom to join the practice, but Tom has other, and bigger, ideas. He has just quit his job with a large multi-national company, and has returned home for what he intends to be a flying visit: disillusioned, but a lot richer, but his father has a car crash brought on by a dizzy spell. It is clear that he badly needs full-time help.
Tom is reluctantly drawn into helping, temporarily of course, while his father recovers, but Clare Somers, the local wildlife vet, is there.

## Production

Filming was done around Worcester. The surgery was at a farmhouse Bed & Breakfast opposite the Leigh & Bransford Memorial Hall about 6 miles West of Worcester. The mountains often seen in the background are the Malvern Hills.
# Warrant sale

A warrant sale was a statutory means of collecting debts in Scotland until 2001. Legal procedure for warrant sales was governed by the Debtors (Scotland) Act 1987. The practice was controversial. Tthose who opposed it were concerned that it affected the poorest section of society who genuinely were unable to pay a debt, but others claimed the legislation was needed to ensure people paid their debts.
It became a contentious political issue in the late 1980s, when Scottish councils used the legislation against an ever-increasing number of Community Charge defaulters, which involved councils applying for a warrant from the local court to collect the money owed by non-payers. Sheriff officers (private companies even though their title suggests they are court employees) were the choice of the local authorities to collect the outstanding debts. Under the 1987 act, debt collectors were permitted to enter a debtor's home and poind (put a value on) items, which would be subject to a later auction under warrant (warrant sale).
The practice was abolished when Tommy Sheridan, MSP, of the Scottish Socialist Party, introduced a private member's bill in 2001, and the Scottish Parliament voted to remove the legislation from Scots law under the Abolition of Poindings and Warrant Sales Act 2001.
In July 2022, Jackie Baillie, MSP, accused the Scottish government of attempting to reintroduce warrant sales as part of the Moveable Transactions Bill.
# Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

Now I lay me down to sleep is a Christian children's bedtime prayer from the 18th century.

## Text

Perhaps the earliest version was written by George Wheler in his 1698 book The Protestant Monastery, which reads:
   Upon lying down, and going to sleep.
   Here I lay me down to sleep. To thee, O Lord, I give my Soul to keep, Wake I ever, Or, Wake I never; To thee O Lord, I give my Soul to keep for ever.
A later version printed in The New England Primer goes:
   Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my Soul to keep[;] If I should die before I 'wake, I pray the Lord my Soul to take.

## Other versions

   Grace Bridges, 1932:
   Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray my lord my soul to keep, In the morn when I awake Please teach me the path of life to take.
   Now I lay me down to sleep,
   I pray the Lord my soul to keep; His Love to guard me through the night,
   And wake me in the morning's light amen.
   Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; Please angels watch me through the night, And keep me safe till morning light.
   Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; Angels watch me through the night, And wake me with the morning light. Amen
   Now I wake to see the light, As God has kept me through the night; And now I lift my voice to pray, That Thou wilt keep me through the day.
   Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, See me safely through the night, And wake me with the morning light. Amen.
It is sometimes combined with the "Black Paternoster", one version of which goes:
   Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Bless the bed that I lie on. Four corners to my bed, Four angels round my head; One to watch and one to pray And two to bear my soul away.
Sometimes the prayer ends with, “and this I ask for Jesus’ sake. Amen.”

# Théâtre de Neptune

Théâtre de Neptune was performed at Port Royal as the first theatrical production in North America. Marc Lescarbot (c. 1570–1641) wrote the play and is best known for his Histoire de la Nouvelle-France (1609), based on his expedition to Acadia (1606–1607) and research into French exploration.
Le Theatre de Neptune was performed in the harbour outside the French settlement of Port Royal on November 14, 1606. He published the play in 1609. The script attempts to prove the promise of New France. The play is a series of four welcoming speeches by Mi'kmaq chiefs. Each accepts the sovereignty of the French, unmistakably and unreservedly. These native people proclaim allegiance to the French monarch in their own territory, and that fact presses a question of the authenticity of the scripted representation. There are also welcoming remarks by Neptune and his court of six Tritons, followed by a banquet.
Hal Theriault performed The Landing, A Pageant, a staged reading at "The Re-enactment of de Mons Landing at Port Royal," July 16, 2005. In 2006, on the 400th anniversary of the first performance, a revival was planned by the Atlantic Fringe, but the performance was cancelled due to lack of CAC funding, as well as controversy over the perceived imperialist messages of the play. A "radical deconstruction" entitled Sinking Neptune was performed as part of the 2006 Montreal Infringement Festival, despite cancellation of the event it protested.
The play is the namesake of the Neptune Theatre in Halifax.

# Treibball

Treibball (, German for drive ball), also known as urban herding, is a competitive dog sport which originated in Germany in 2005. In the sport, a dog must gather and drive large exercise balls into a goal by working with a human handler.

## History

Treibball originated in 2005 in Germany, and was invented by Dutch dog trainer Jan Nijboer. The sport was invented to keep herding dogs active in places where livestock herding is not possible, such as urban environments. He introduced the sport to his students, and it quickly spread across Europe. The first sanctioned Treibball competition was held in 2008. The sport eventually gained popularity in the United States after 2009 when a video featuring the sport titled Hund mit 8 Ballen went viral.

## Sport

The aim of the sport is for the dog to get eight large exercise balls into a goal. The eight balls are initially set up in a triangle formation similar to billiards, and the dog's handler stays in one spot near the goal. Using only whistles, verbal commands, or hand signals, the handler must communicate with the dog to get it to push the balls into the goal. The balls must be put into the goal in a particular order, and there is a time limit.
Treibball balls range from 45 to 75 centimeters in diameter, and are known as "rolling sheep". The playing field is between 30 and 50 meters long and between 15 and 25 meters wide.
Treibball is loosely based on herding trials, and because of this, herding dogs have a natural advantage in learning the sport. Unlike livestock herding, however, any breed of dog is capable of learning and playing Treibball effectively.
