# Grace E. Howard

Grace Elizabeth Howard (1886-1978) was an American lichenologist, teacher, and a professor of botany at Wellesley College for twenty-eight years.

## Early life and education

Grace Elizabeth Howard was born in Pennsylvania, and raised in Washington, the daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Howard. As a young woman, she was a passionate climber, accompanying her sister Ann Howard on climbs before she was officially old enough to join The Mountaineers. The sisters climbed Mount Noyes, Mount Queets, and the Middle Peak. In 1917, Howard was one of the organizers of the first Mountaineer Knapsack Trip. This, wrote Stella Degenhardt, was "a backpacking, rather than a pack-horse outing which explored the area from Snoqualmie Pass, via Goldmeyer Hot Springs, Lake Dorothy (with dugout canoe), Skykomish River, and Glacier Basin to Monte Cristo".
Howard earned her B.A. from the University of Washington in 1911, and subsequently taught at a school in Wapato, Washington. Ten years later, she returned to the University of Washington for her M.S., and then moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where she pursued botanical studies, receiving her Ph.D. in 1923.

## Lichenology

Howard began teaching at Wellesley College in 1923, where she would remain for the next 28 years. She began to study lichens on the advice of Margaret Clay Ferguson of Wellesley College and Theodore Christian Frye of the University of Washington. Having grown up in Washington and graduated there, she was drawn to the study of that state's lichens in particular. She began collecting in the Washington in the summer of 1928, followed by a more extensive trip during the summer and fall of 1931, as well as during the summers of 1930, 1934, 1937, and 1938. Howard was promoted from assistant professor to associate professor of botany in 1938. In 1940, on a sabbatical year from Wellesley, she made a further significant trip, followed by additional collections in the summer of 1942.
In a 'Preliminary Report on the Lichens of the State of Washington' (1937), Howard reviewed the work of earlier collectors in the state. In her major work, Lichens of the State of Washington (1950), she corrected her previous omission of the work of Wilhelm N. Suksdorf, who she credited with "an immense amount of collecting in Washington". She also noted the work of Alexander H. Smith, who collected in and near the Olympic National Park.
While at Wellesley, Howard was also the curator of the college's herbarium, directed by Harriet Creighton. She taught general botany, field botany, and plant pathology, while researching the taxonomy and morphology of lichens. She retired from Wellesley in 1952, after twenty-eight years of service as associate professor of botany, and was subsequently made a professor emeritus. Howard was thanked by Vernon Ahmadjian in his 1967 The Lichen Symbiosis, for having "helped remove some of the frustrations I felt as an undergraduate student trying to identify the lichens of Worcester County, Massachusetts".

## Death

Grace Elizabeth Howard died in 1978, and was buried in Sunset Hills Memorial Park, Bellevue, Washington.

# Rain in May

"Rain in May" is a song by Dutch musician Max Werner from his first solo album, Seasons (1981). Written and produced by Werner, Chris Meldon and Chris Pilgram, it was released as the album's single in April 1981.

## Composition and lyrics

"Rain in May" is written in common time. The track has a tempo of 98 beats per minute and is played in the key of G major. In the lyrics, the male narrator describes his depressive mood during the three seasons: autumn (first stanza), winter (second stanza) and summer in the last stanza. The only time of year he feels comfortable is spring, especially the month of May. Various unpleasant phenomena that occur in every season are discussed, such as cold and slippery roads in winter. At the end of each verse and in the chorus, he expresses his euphoria in relation to the eponymous "Rain in May".

## Commercial performance

"Rain in May" peaked at No. 3 on the Netherlands' Dutch Top 40 chart in June 1981 and was also a chart success in certain other European countries as well. In May 1981, the song peaked at No. 74 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. In September of the same year, the song reached No. 2 in West Germany.

## Live performances

On 17 August 1981, Max Werner performed the song first time on the music programme Disco in West Germany, broadcast by ZDF. In April 2005, Werner performed the song on the German TV show Die Hit-Giganten – die 30 größten Hits und Interpreten der coolen Achtziger.

## Track listing

# Sir John Shelley, 5th Baronet

Sir John Shelley, 5th Baronet (1730 – 11 September 1783), of Michelgrove in Sussex, was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1751 to 1780.
He was the eldest son of Sir John Shelley, 4th Baronet and Margaret Pelham, two of whose brothers (Henry Pelham and The Duke of Newcastle) served as British Prime Minister. He entered Parliament at a by-election in 1751, probably at the first opportunity once he was legally old enough to do so, as Member of Parliament for East Retford, a pocket borough owned by his uncle Newcastle; the vacancy arose from the appointment of the sitting MP as a Commissioner of the Excise, quite possibly with the specific intention of freeing the seat for Shelley. He represented this constituency until 1768 when, having fallen out with Newcastle, he moved to represent nearby Newark (which had once also been under Newcastle's control but now belonged to another of Newcastle's nephews, the Earl of Lincoln, who had also quarrelled with his uncle). He was later also MP for New Shoreham.
In 1755, on the recommendation of Newcastle (who had become Prime Minister on his brother's death the previous year), Shelley was appointed to the desirable sinecure-for-life of Keeper of the Records of the Tower of London, worth £420 a year. In 1757 he acquired another lucrative post, Clerk of the Pipe, and in 1766 he became Treasurer of His Majesty's Household and was appointed to the Privy Council.
Shelley succeeded to the baronetcy on his father's death on 5 September 1771, taking possession of Michelgrove, Sussex. He married Wilhelmina Newnham (died 1772), daughter of John Newnham of Maresfield Park, by whom he had a son, John, who succeeded him. After the death of his first wife, he married again, to Elizabeth Woodcock, and they had three daughters.
He retired from Parliament in 1780, and died in 1783.
# St. Patrick's Island Park

St. Patrick's Island Park (also simply known as St. Patrick's Island) is a 31-acre public park on an island at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers just northeast of Downtown Calgary. St. Patrick's Island is one of Calgary's oldest parks. Its development as a public space began in the 1890s, gaining momentum as an important public space in the Calgary inner city with the construction of a bridge to the island in the early 1900s. Throughout the decades, the island has been transformed, playing host to a campground in the 1960s, to being the host of squatters for much of the period from the 1980s to the 2000s. For several decades, the island was connected to Calgary's undesirable East Village neighbourhood by a steel and wooden bridge. However, in the late 2000s the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation began a redevelopment of the East Village, with a particular focus on redeveloping St. Patrick's Island into a full-fledged city park with programmed activities and physical access to the Bow River. After years of construction, the newly redeveloped St. Patrick's Island Park opened to the public in July 2015, along with the new George C. King Bridge which connects the island park with both the East Village to the south and Bridgeland to the north.

## Areas of the park
### The Tip

A seating area at the western tip of the island with a view of downtown.

### The Seasonal Breach

This area has been transformed from a flat grass prairie back into a channel that historically cut across the island. The breach provides a space for people to wade into the river, and has a pebble beach on the shore with room for people to sit down.

### The Rise

A grassy knoll in the middle of the island that acts as an amphitheatre for movies-in-the-park in summer, and tobogganing in the winter.

### The Playmound

An area of the park with playground equipment.

### The Lowland Channel

A seasonal riparian wetland in the centre of the island. In periods of high water on the Bow River, the wetland will flood. There is a boardwalk over the wetland.

### The Picnic Grove

A family-oriented area of the island with wood-burning grills available for cooking.

### The Cove

The cove provides access to the river for rafters and people who like to fish.

### Confluence Plaza

A gathering space at the eastern end of the island. Tables, chairs, an amphitheater, and a sun deck are located here.

# Filippo Carcano

Filippo Carcano (25 September 1840 – 19 January 1914) was an Italian painter.

## Biography

Carcano was born in Milan, Italy. A pupil of Francesco Hayez at the Brera Academy in Milan as from 1855, he won the Canonica Prize with a work on a historical subject in 1862, while experimenting in the same period with painting from life. Carcano became friends with Francesco Filippini and Eugenio Gignous, with whom he would sometimes go to paint in Gignese. His interest in themes connected with reality is confirmed in subsequent works presenting scenes of an immediacy that reflects the contemporary developments in the field of the photography. One example is Break Time during Work on the Exhibition of 1881 (1887, Galleria d’Arte Moderna, Milan), presented at the Esposizione Nazionale di Belle Arti di Milano in 1881.
A leading figure in the school of Lombard Naturalism, he combined scenes of everyday life with numerous landscapes, featuring the surroundings of Lake Maggiore and the Mottarone as from the 1870s and the mountain peaks on the border with Switzerland at the end of the century. It was in the same period that he took up Symbolism, winning the Prince Umberto Prize at the Milan Triennale of 1897. Among his pupils was Umberto Bazzoli. One of his works is on display of the Museo Cantonale d'Arte of Lugano. The earthen tones and proletarian thematics often recall the works of Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo. Of his landscapes, one author states his name is associated with pictures of limitless and nebulous horizons.
