# John Rudd (cartographer)

John Rudd (1498–1579) was a Yorkshire born Tudor cartographer and clergyman of both the Church of England and Catholic Church.

## Biography

John Rudd was born in Yorkshire in 1498, with nothing being known about his family background. He attended Clare College, with a BA and MA by 1520. He entered the priesthood in 1521, becoming a fellow at St John's College, Cambridge.
During the Reformation Rudd initially adopted a stridently catholic position, being briefly imprisoned on the orders of Thomas Cromwell because of a sermon that Rudd had given at Paul's Cross, thought to have expressed sympathy with Elizabeth Barton and her followers. To avoid execution he renounced Catholicism and after was allowed to continue to preach.
While imprisoned, Rudd would create his first map, a now lost "Ptolemaic" map of the Holy Land, at some point before 1534. This maps was sent, in exchange for extraditing his release from solitary conferment, to the new Bishop-elect of Chester Rowland Lee. By the 1540s he began to achieve some positions of note in Protestant England, even being nominated Clerk of the Closet.
In 1561, at the request of Elizabeth I he was given two years' leave from his duties as a prebendary of Durham Cathedral, to "travayle by his own sight to view and considere divers parts of our … Realme" with the objective of mapping all of England. Although he does not appear to have completed this objective, it was completed by his apprentice, Christopher Saxton. Saxton was employed by Rudd as a servant, and it seems likely that he accompanied him on these trips, and learned draughting and surveying skills from his master.
While little of Rudd's own work survives, it has been suggested that Mercator's maps of the British Isles, published as Angliae, Scotiae et Hiberniae nova Descripto [...] was, to some extent, based on Rudd's work.

## Family

Rudd married Isabel Whildon in 1551. Together they had at least three daughters and three sons. John Rudd died in Durham in 1579, being buried in its Cathedral.

# Neoterebra puncturosa

Neoterebra puncturosa is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Terebridae, the auger snails.
# Packera layneae

Packera layneae, known by the common name Layne's ragwort and Layne's butterweed, is a rare species of flowering plant in the aster family.

## Distribution

The plant is endemic to California, where it is only known from the western slopes of the northern Sierra Nevada foothills. Small populations are found in Yuba, Tuolumne, and Butte Counties, and in the Pine Hill Ecological Reserve in El Dorado County.

## Description

Packera layneae is a perennial herb producing an erect stem or a small cluster of stems up to 70 centimeters tall. The thick leaves have wide lance-shaped blades a few centimeters long which are borne on long petioles; smaller leaves occur farther up the stems.
The inflorescence bears several flower heads containing many yellow disc florets and several narrow yellow ray florets each up to 1.6 centimeters long.

## Habitat

Packera layneae grows in cismontane chaparral and oak woodlands habitats of the California Interior chaparral and woodlands ecoregion, often on serpentine soils and weathered gabbro.

### Conservation

The plant faces several threats and was federally listed as a threatened species in 1996.
The plant grows in chaparral and woodlands habitats that are dependent on a fire ecology of periodic wildfires. Fire suppression efforts alter available sunlight for germination and ongoing growth, and delay the natural 'biomass maintenance' of all plants in this ecosystem. Other threats include development, mining, off-road vehicle use, grazing, and the increasing presence of invasive plants.
# Hachiko Waits

Hachiko Waits is a children's book, written by Lesléa Newman and illustrated by Machiyo Kodaira. It uses the true story of Hachikō the Akita dog from Japan and adds Yasuo, a young boy, to the story. It won several awards.

## Plot summary

Professor Hidesaburō Ueno and his dog Hachikō follow the same schedule every day. In April 1924, when Hachikō was six months old, he got out the gate and followed the Professor to the train station, despite the Professor's commanding him to go back home. At the train station, the Station Master, Mr. Yoshikawa, agrees to watch Hachikō until the Professor returns. There Yasuo, a six-year-old boy, meets Hachikō. The dog waits until five minutes to three o'clock, when the Professor's train arrives.
This routine continues every day for a year. However, when the train arrives in the afternoon, the Professor is not on it. Yasuo discovers that he has suffered a heart attack and died. Hachikō waits in the station until the last train arrives at midnight; then Yasuo, with much difficulty, takes him to his house. However, Hachikō escapes the next morning; and at five minutes to three, he is in the station waiting for the Professor.
Yasuo and the Station Master take care of Hachikō for the next ten years, as he comes to the station every afternoon to await the Professor's arrival. The newspaper writes an article about Hachikō, and he becomes famous throughout Japan.
On the day Hachikō dies, the sixteen-year-old Yasuo meets a famous artist, who wants to carve a statue of the devoted dog. Once complete, the statue becomes famous as well; and by it, Yasuo meets the girl whom he marries ten years later.

# Haig v Canada (Chief Electoral Officer)

Haig v Canada (Chief Electoral Officer) [1993] 2 S.C.R. 995 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on the protection of the right to vote under section 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

## Background

Graham Haig had moved from Ontario to Quebec during the summer of 1992. As it happened, this was also the summer of the Charlottetown Accord where each citizen was given the opportunity to vote on whether to adopt the constitutional amendments. Due to his move he was ineligible to vote in either province. The Elections Act provided that the voter must reside in the district on the day of enumeration. For Quebec voters were required to live in the province for the last six months. On enumeration day he was in Quebec and thus was unable to vote.
In September Haig brought an application against the Queen and the Chief Electoral Officer for a declaration under section 3 of the Elections Act on the basis that his ineligibility was in violation of sections 2(b), 3, 6, and 15(1) of the Charter.
The Federal Court rejected the Charter claim which was upheld by the Federal Court of Appeal. Further the claim against the Queen was dropped.
The issues before the Supreme Court was:
* Whether the exclusion of persons in Haig's position from voting in the referendum violate sections 2(b), 3 and 15(1) of the Charter.
* Whether any violation can be saved under section 1.

## Opinion of the Court

The Court held that there were no violations of the Charter. L'Heureux-Dube J. wrote the majority, with La Forest, Sopinka, Gonthier, and Major JJ. concurring. Both Cory J. and Mclachlin J. wrote separate concurring opinions. Lamer C.J. and Iaccobucci J. each had separate dissenting opinions.
# Hakam Sufi

Hakam Sufi (3 March 1952 – 4 September 2012) was an Indian singer as well as songwriter of Punjabi music. He was known for his songs like, paani vich maaran deetan from a Punjabi film and more. Known for his clean and pure style of music, Hakam Sufi stayed away from vulgarity and bawdy lyrics. Untrapped by commercial interests, Sufi, who worked as a school teacher remained dedicated to pristine pure music till his death.

## Personal life

Sufi remained single throughout his life, primarily so that he could dedicate himself to music and to bringing up his siblings. A very close associate of Gurdas Mann, both singers belonged to Gidderbaha in Sri Muktsar Sahib district of Indian Punjab. He started singing at a very early age during his schooldays.

## Songs

His major song was the Chhalla, though Sufi himself conceded in a television interview that it was when Gurdas Maan sung the song, that it reached great heights. Pani vich maaran deetan, Mere charkhe di tutt gaee maalh, Kithe laaye ne sajjana dere, Dil vatte di, and Dil tarhpe ashiq da were his major songs.
