# Scene in the Northwest: Portrait of John Henry Lefroy

Scene in the Northwest: Portrait of John Henry Lefroy, also known as The Surveyor, is a painting by Paul Kane circa 1845. It sold at auction in 2002 for C$5.1 million, making it the most expensive Canadian painting ever sold at that time. It was purchased by media magnate Ken Thomson, who donated it to the Art Gallery of Ontario. The painting depicts British explorer John Henry Lefroy on his successful expedition to map the Magnetic North Pole.
Lefroy returned to Toronto in November 1844 and it is likely that Kane painted him soon after that. Lefroy helped convince George Simpson to fund Kane's own western expeditions, which Kane began in June 1845. In the painting, Lefroy is dressed in the outfit of a coureur des bois wearing snow shoes, standing in front of a dog sled. In the background one of his companions walks towards a native woman's tipi.
Lefroy returned to England in 1853 and took the painting with him. The original remained in the Lefroy family for some 150 years, but they had no knowledge of the artist or its value. It was forgotten in Canada until researchers at the Library and Archives Canada and the Art Gallery of Ontario learned of its existence and located it in the possession of one of Lefroy's descendants. They opted to put it up for auction in 2002. It sold at auction in February 2002 at Sotheby's Canada in Toronto for $5,062,500. The painting was appraised at $450,000 to $550,000, but a competitive auction vastly exceeded its appraised value as Thomson's agent competed with two American bidders. Its sale price more than doubled the previous record for a Canadian painting—$2.2 million for Lawren Harris's Baffin Island, which had been bought by Thomson the previous year. The sale price of Scene in the Northwest was almost ten times more than had ever had been paid for a Kane work; the previous record was $525,000 for Portrait of Maungwudaus in 1999.
While scholars had no knowledge of the original painting for over a century, a copy of the painting did remain in Canada. This version was acquired by the Glenbow Museum in Calgary in the 1950s. Its artist, and who was depicted, had been forgotten, leading to many decades of debate. Some scholars credited the Glenbow painting to Kane and others to Cornelius Krieghoff. The rediscovery of the much higher-quality original has led to the consensus opinion that it is a copy of Kane's piece done by a lesser artist of the same period. One possibility is that it was created by Kane's wife, Harriet Clench, herself a skilled painter.

# Nilsemigroup

In mathematics, and more precisely in semigroup theory, a nilsemigroup or nilpotent semigroup is a semigroup whose every element is nilpotent.

## Definitions

Formally, a semigroup S is a nilsemigroup if:
* S contains 0 and
* for each element a∈S, there exists a positive integer k such that a$^k$=0.

### Finite nilsemigroups

Equivalent definitions exists for finite semigroup. A finite semigroup S is nilpotent if, equivalently:
* $x_{1}\dots x_{n}=y_{1}\dots y_{n}$ for each $x_{i},y_{i}\in S$, where $n$ is the cardinality of S.
* The zero is the only idempotent of S.

## Examples

The trivial semigroup of a single element is trivially a nilsemigroup.
The set of strictly upper triangular matrix, with matrix multiplication is nilpotent.
Let $I_{n}=[a,n]$ a bounded interval of positive real numbers. For x, y belonging to I, define $x\star _{n}y$ as $\min(x+y,n)$. We now show that $\langle I,\star _{n}\rangle$ is a nilsemigroup whose zero is n. For each natural number k, kx is equal to $\min(kx,n)$. For k at least equal to $\left\lceil {\frac {n-x}{x}}\right\rceil$, kx equals n. This example generalize for any bounded interval of an Archimedean ordered semigroup.

## Properties

A non-trivial nilsemigroup does not contain an identity element. It follows that the only nilpotent monoid is the trivial monoid.
The class of nilsemigroups is:
* closed under taking subsemigroups
* closed under taking quotients
* closed under finite products
* but is not closed under arbitrary direct product. Indeed, take the semigroup $S=\prod _{i\in \mathbb {N} }\langle I_{n},\star _{n}\rangle$, where $\langle I_{n},\star _{n}\rangle$ is defined as above. The semigroup S is a direct product of nilsemigroups, however its contains no nilpotent element.
It follows that the class of nilsemigroups is not a variety of universal algebra. However, the set of finite nilsemigroups is a variety of finite semigroups. The variety of finite nilsemigroups is defined by the profinite equalities $x^{\omega }y=x^{\omega }=yx^{\omega }$.
# Today (2014 film)

Today is a 2014 Iranian drama film directed by Reza Mirkarimi. It was screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. It was selected as the Iranian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.

## Cast

* Parviz Parastui as Younes
* Soheila Golestani
* Shabnam Moghaddami
* Roozbeh Hesari
* Ashkan Jenabi
* Hesam Mahmoudi
* Ava Sharifi

## Reception

In a review for Variety, Dennis Harvey wrote,"Taking its cue from that no-nonsense protag (and in contrast to the atypically rich palate of Mirkarimi’s previous film, A Cube of Sugar), Today is terse and unadorned in nearly all aspects. That rigor lends slow-burning impact to a story (and in particular an ending) that might easily have been played for mawkish sentimentality. Houman Behmanesh’s crisp lensing is the dominant element in the professionally assembled package; there’s no music at all until a bedside conversation provides some belated emotional release for the two leads, its poignancy aptly underlined by Amin Honarmand’s score."
# Charlie Devens

Charles Devens (January 1, 1910 – August 13, 2003) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher who played from 1932-1934. After pitching for Harvard he was signed in 1932 to the New York Yankees. At 92 years of age, Devens was the oldest surviving member of the famed 1932 world championship Yankees team and recalled with great detail the now famous Babe Ruth's Called Shot.

## Career

Signed in 1932 and leaving the team in 1934, Devens' Major league career was cut short by his future father-in-law who refused to have a ball player as a son in law. Devens spent the entire 1932 season on the champion Yankees' roster, despite only pitching one game that season, due to a promise the Yankees made to Devens' father as a condition for signing him. After his departure from the big leagues Devens established his reputation as a standout businessman in Boston. Given his short 3-year career Charlie Devens was only able to amass 82 innings pitched with only one start in 1934. At the conclusion of his career, Charlie held a 5–3 record with 31 strikeouts and a 3.73 ERA in 16 games pitched.

## Personal

His granddaughter was Sarah Devens. She participated on three varsity teams at Dartmouth College: field hockey, ice hockey and lacrosse. She was named a captain of all three teams and was considered by many teammates to be the best female athlete Dartmouth ever had.

# Our Lady Queen of Peace and Blessed Margaret Pole

Our Lady Queen of Peace and Blessed Margaret Pole is a Roman Catholic church in Douglas Road, Southbourne, Dorset BH6 3ER. It is in the Diocese of Portsmouth. The church is dedicated to Our Lady, Queen of Peace, with a secondary dedication to the martyr Blessed Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury.

## History

Before the parish was founded, Mass was said by a retired parish priest from Christchurch, Provost George Ballard (1822–1916). Ballard was a convert who had been ordained in 1852, and was parish priest in Christchurch from 1880 to 1889. In his retirement, he lived in Foxwold, Foxholes Road, and Mass was said privately. In 1890, a Mrs Gale, owner of the Southbourne Cliffs Hotel, lent their billiard room for religious services. After the death of Provost Ballard, an army hut was erected in 1918 opposite the hotel in Belle Vue Road, and Mass was said by priests from Christchurch until the site was sold in 1928.

## Present site

The present site was donated by Mr Reginald Cecil Lybbe Powys-Lybbe (1881–1930), a benefactor to the Church and a descendant of Blessed Margaret Pole. There is a plaque reading "Of your charity pray for the soul of Reginald Cecil Lybbe-Powys-Lybbe who generously gave the site on which the Southbourne church property stands. A Mass is said annually on Low Sunday for the repose of his soul. R.I.P."
A temporary church was built in 1928 and later became the church hall, rebuilt in 1956. The church was opened and blessed on 24 May 1939 by Rt Rev. William T. Cotter, Bishop of Portsmouth. It was consecrated on 27 May 1964 by Rt. Rev. Bishop T. Holland, Coadjutor Bishop of Portsmouth, assisted by Most Rev. Archbishop J.H. King, Bishop of Portsmouth. The church is built in the Italianate basilica style. The architect was Thomas Birchall Scott, F.R.I.B.A. (1872–1945), with the Portland stone statue of the Virgin Mary over the entrance executed by Mr Lindsay Clark, A.R.B.S.
The first parish priest in 1934 was Father Jesse Hetherington, followed by Father Joseph Murtagh (1949–1961), Father Timothy Dwyer (1961–1965), and Father Henry Murphy. When Father Murphy retired after 40 years, he was replaced by Father John Dunne, who retired in 2009.

# Orville Fisher

Orville Fisher (November 24, 1911 – July 13, 1999) was an Official Canadian war artist, muralist, graphic artist and painter. He was the only Allied war artist to take part in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. He came ashore with the 3rd Infantry Division of the Canadian Army at Juno Beach, and depicted the turmoil of war in his drawings and art work.

## Career

Born in Vancouver, B.C., Fisher attended the Vancouver School of Art (today the Emily Carr University of Art and Design), graduating in 1933, studying with F. H. Varley from whom he received training in drawing the figure, and Jock Macdonald. Afterwards, he went to the British Columbia College of Arts (1931-1934).
With fellow Vancouver artists Paul Goranson and E. J. Hughes (the trio called themselves the Western or West Coast Brotherhood, echoing the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood), he painted several murals. Inspired by Diego Rivera and Thomas Hart Benton, the trio executed a series of large panels for a cabaret restaurant in Vancouver's Chinatown and murals for the First United Church, then murals at the Malaspina Hotel in Nanaimo. They then produced a series on the industries of British Columbia for a 12-part mural at the British Columbian pavilion at the 1939 San Francisco World's Fair, the Golden Gate International Exposition.

## War work

At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, Fisher joined the army in the Corps of Royal Canadian Engineers. He was employed as a sapper and service artist until he joined the infantry. In 1943, he was transferred to officer training and made an Official Second World War artist.
On June 6, 1944, Fisher came ashore with the 3rd Canadian Division at Mike Beach near Courseulles-sur-Mer (at the eastern part of Juno Beach). As he was landing, he realized that the art supplies he carried might drown him and threw them away. When he arrived on the beach, he had only tiny pads of "waterproof paper strapped to his wrist and a charcoal pencil". Fisher stayed with the 3rd Division until it reached Nijmegen in the Netherlands, then he returned to the front at Rotterdam, where he worked until the war ended.
He made 246 images of the battle and related subjects which are now part of the permanent collection of the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. They have a sense of immediacy from being observed close to the time of painting.

## Later life

After the war, Fisher returned to Vancouver where he began a teaching career at the Vancouver School of Art which lasted 30 years; he taught painting and was head of the Graphics department as well as continuing to work as a muralist, graphic artist, and painter. Through his war work, he became friendly with Charles Comfort and later assisted him with a mural for the Toronto-Dominion Bank in Vancouver. He also painted five murals for the lobby of the B.C. Electric Building. Fisher died in July 1999 at 88 years old in Langley, B.C.
# Nasif Estéfano
