# Wang Bi

Wang Bi (Chinese: 王弼; 226–249), courtesy name Fusi (Chinese: 輔嗣), was a Chinese philosopher and politician. During his brief career, he produced commentaries on the Tao Te Ching and I Ching which were highly influential in Chinese philosophy.

## Life and background

Wang Bi's grandfather Wang Kai (王凯) was a clansman of Wang Can, one of the Seven Scholars of Jian'an, while Wang Kai's wife was a daughter of the warlord Liu Biao. After Wang Can's two sons were implicated in Wei Feng's rebellion in 219 and executed, Wang Bi's father Wang Ye was made Wang Can's heir; Wang Ye also inherited Wang Can's library of about 10000 volumes (including books from Cai Yong's collection). Wang Bi served as a minor bureaucrat in the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. He died from an epidemic at the age of 23.
Wang Bi's most important works are commentaries on Laozi's Tao Te Ching and the I Ching. The text of the Tao Te Ching that appeared with his commentary was widely considered the best copy of this work until the discovery of the Han-era Mawangdui texts in 1973. He was a scholar of Xuanxue.

## Writings

At least three works by Wang Bi are known: a commentary on Confucius' Analects, which survives only in quotations; commentaries on the I Ching and the Tao Te Ching, which not only have survived but have greatly influenced subsequent Chinese thought on those two classics.
His commentary on the I Ching has been translated into English by Richard John Lynn, The Classic of Changes (New York: Columbia University, 1994) ISBN 0-231-08295-9
Several translations into English have been made of his commentary of the Tao Te Ching:

# Flixton House

Flixton House was built in 1806 by the Wright family, who had become wealthy land owners in Flixton. It is a Queen Anne revival style country house, in Flemish bond brick, with neo-classical portico and fanlight. It is Grade II listed.

## Access dispute

Flixton House would probably have been quite unremarkable in a national context had Ralph Wright in 1826 not closed several footpaths across his estate, footpaths that the public had until then been allowed access to.
In response to the closure of those footpaths the people of Flixton initiated and funded a court case against Ralph Wright, one of the first footpath battles in England.
The people of Flixton won their case, and their success led to the creation of the Manchester Association for the Preservation of Ancient Footpaths in 1826.

## Subsequent history

Ralph Wright died in 1831. The Wright family continued to hold the house and land until the death of Samuel Worthington-Wright in 1934, following which Urmston Urban District Council acquired Flixton House and its 218 acres (0.88 km$^2$) of land for £69,793.
The park was officially opened to the public in 1935. The house and park are now owned by Trafford Council.
Flixton House along with its surrounding buildings was designated a Grade II listed building in 1981.

## Event Space

This Grade II listed building has been a wedding and events venue in Trafford for many years and is now owned and managed by Trafford Council.
In 2018 Flixton House recently underwent a drastic refurbishment. The venue has been updated with modern décor and furnishings whilst retaining many features from the early 19th century.
# Beveridge Webster

Beveridge Webster (May 13, 1908, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – June 30, 1999, in Hanover, New Hampshire) was an American pianist and educator.

## Biography

Beveridge Webster initially studied with his father, who was director of the Pittsburgh Conservatory of Music. In 1921, at the age of fourteen, he began five years of study in Europe, first at the American Academy at Fontainebleau, then at the Paris Conservatory with Isidor Philipp and Nadia Boulanger. He also studied in Berlin with Artur Schnabel.
He made his New York debut in November 1934 with the New York Philharmonic performing Edward MacDowell's Piano Concerto No. 2. In 1937, he gave the New York Philharmonic premiere (on short notice, replacing Dushkin) of Stravinsky's Capriccio, under Stravinsky's baton.
Webster was best known as an interpreter of French composers, especially Maurice Ravel (who he met in Paris as a student) and Claude Debussy. He premiered an early version of Ravel's Tzigane in 1924, and in 1975 he celebrated Ravel's centenary by performing the complete Ravel piano solo oeuvre at Juilliard. In 1968, over a three-concert series at The Town Hall, he commemorated the 50th anniversary of Debussy's death with the first complete survey of the composer's piano works in New York.
Webster gave premieres or made first recordings of many contemporary works, including pieces by Louise Talma, Roger Sessions, Roy Harris, Aaron Copland and Elliott Carter.
A Time magazine article from 1937 said of Webster, "Dark, well-knit, young Beveridge Webster is a good swimmer, takes pride in his tennis, likes to play poker or bridge with his great good friend Igor Stravinsky. He boasts of the little slam he once made against Sidney Lenz."
In 1937, novelist Willa Cather attended a recital at New York’s Town Hall by Webster, and wrote him a brief letter praising his performance, "That was the third time I had heard you play the Schumann, and this week I thought there was a kind of larger freedom in your treatment and a careless care in shooting the rapids (a queer figure of speech, but if you’ve ever seen the Canadian canoe men shoot rapids, you will know that I mean something (not velocity) which I am unable to say in technical musical language)."
He taught at New England Conservatory from 1940 to 1946 and at the Juilliard School from 1946 to 1990. His students include Michel Block, Robert McDonald, Jahja Ling, Sylvia Glickman, Steven Graff and Hao Huang. He made a substantial series of recordings issued on LP by Dover Publications and at least one, billed as the first installment in a complete traversal of Schubert's piano sonatas, for MGM Records, released as E3711.
Beveridge Webster had two children. One, Michael Webster, was formerly the principal clarinetist of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. He played under the baton of Aaron Copland for a performance of Copland's Clarinet Concerto. Michael Webster now teaches at the Shepherd School at Rice University in Houston, Texas.

# Aeroflot Flight 3843

Aeroflot Flight 3843 was a Soviet Union commercial flight that crashed on January 13, 1977, after a left engine fire near Alma-Ata Airport. All 90 people on board perished in the crash.
A team of youth hockey players should have been on the flight, but were delayed due to a postponement of a competition.

## Aircraft and crew

The aircraft involved in the accident was a Tupolev Tu-104A, registered CCCP-42369 to Aeroflot. The aircraft was delivered to Aeroflot on October 31, 1958. At the time of the accident, the aircraft had accumulated 27,189 flight hours and 12,819 landings in service.
The flight crew consisted of captain Dmitry Danilovich Afanasyev, first officer Vladimir Ivanovich Baburin, navigators Alexander Vasilievich Klimakhin and Anatoly Viktorovich Rozhkovsky, and flight engineer Anatoly Mikhailovich Shaforost; three flight attendants (Leonid Ivanovich Korytko, Alla Valentinovna Gryaznova, and Maria Petrovna Faraponova) were stationed in the cabin.

## Accident sequence

Flight 3843 was a service from Khabarovsk to Almaty via Novosibirsk. The aircraft departed for the second leg of its flight from Novosibirsk at 17:13 on January 13, 1977. At 40 kilometres (25 mi; 22 nmi) from Almaty airport the aircraft was at an altitude of 2,100 metres (6,890 ft). Witnesses noticed the left engine of the aircraft on fire about 15 kilometres (9 mi; 8 nmi) from the airport. With the wing still on fire, it then climbed from about 180 metres (600 ft) to 300 metres (1,000 ft) before diving and exploding in a snow-covered field. The sky above the airport at the time was clear, although due to the haze visibility was at 1,850 metres (2,023 yd). The aircraft hit the ground at an angle of 28° with a roll, at a speed of 150–190 kilometres per hour (93–118 mph) and rotated 200-210° with respect to the runway axis. The fuselage broke in two; the front part of the fuselage sank into the ground 2 metres (10 ft). The rear of the fuselage with the tail assembly was pushed back 18 metres (60 ft) and not burned in the fire. Forensic examinations showed that the passengers were exposed to carbon monoxide during the flight.
The plane hit the ground with enough force that the bodies of the victims could not be identified.

## Investigation

The accident board found the aircraft's left engine had been subjected to fire for 10–15 minutes. The fire increased upon slowing down to land due to a decrease in the air flow, damaging the controls. The aircraft stalled and crashed three kilometers short of the airport.
