# Elizabeth Felmersham

Elizabeth Felmersham (? – 1446) became the English abbess of the Benedictine Godstow Abbey at a time when the abbey was not well regulated.

## Life

The details of Felmersham's early life are unclear but her family is presumed to have come from Felmersham in Bedfordshire and at some time her family moved to Oxfordshire. Records show that a William Felmersham owned property in Oxfordshire in the 1420s.
Elizabeth Pytte had been the abbess of the Benedictine Godstow Abbey when Felmersham was elected to be the abbess. The nuns were not well disciplined and she had the task of managing the abbey and in bringing the nuns into good order. The abbey had been built on an island in the River Thames just outside the university town of Oxford. The poor state of the abbey's discipline was reported in 1432.
She struggled to keep the nuns and the students apart but she admitted that "secular folk have often access to the nuns" and that she could not prevent visitors. The nuns would engage in conversation with these visitors and they did ask her permission. A nun name Alice Longspey would meet with the priest Hugh Sadler with the defence that they were kinspeople. Similarly Dame Okeley was singled out for talking too much to visitors at the door and for ignoring the instructions of Felmersham.
She was still abbess in 1445 and died the following year. The date is unknown but the Godstow community of nuns was given permission to elect a new abbess on 14 July 1446. The elected replacement was Alice Lumley.

# Françoise Delord

Françoise Jeanne Lajunias Delord (née Doucet; 30 January 1940 – 3 December 2021) was a French ornithologist and zoo owner who was the founder and director of ZooParc de Beauval. After acting at Bobino, Delord became an ornithologist, authoring two books on the topic in the 1970s. In 1980, she opened an ornithological park, which later expanded to become the ZooParc de Beauval in 1989.

## Early life

Delord was born 30 January 1940 and raised by a single mother in Montargis. She studied at the Lycée Jeanne d'Arc in Orléans and subsequently at CNSAD. Delord initially began her career as an actress. She dreamed of entering the Comédie-Française and play the title role in the tragedy Phaedra. She worked at Bobino and presented 11 shows per week. For six years, she frequently interacted with artists such as Jacques Brel, Léo Ferré and Georges Brassens. While working in the theatre, she met her husband, Jacques Delord [fr], a magician with whom she had two children: Rodolphe and Delphine. The couple later divorced.

## Ornithological career

In the early 1970s, Delord won two African silverbill birds as part of a contest, which would trigger her inspiration for a zoological park. She became an ornithologist, writing two books about birds. Delord frequently purchased new birds at pet stores and built an aviary in her Paris apartment. When the total number of birds reached 300, she and her family moved out of Paris and settled on a five-hectare property near Saint-Aignan.
In 1980, Delord opened an ornithological park, which was transformed into ZooParc de Beauval in 1989 following the acquisition of wildcats. In 1991, the zoo’s stature grew when she acquired a pair of rare white tigers. In 2001, she was the only female French zoo director. At the 2006 Chinese Committee of Breeding Techniques for Giant Pandas in Thailand, Delord expressed a desire to adopt a pair of giant pandas. The zoo reached international profile when China loaned it a pair of pandas in 2012. As of 2011, it was home to 4600 animals, and was the only collection in France with koalas or manatees.
When Delord aged, she left control of the park to her children, Rodolphe and Delphine. In 2021, the zoo has 1.4 million visitors.
Françoise Delord died on 3 December 2021 at the age of 81.

# Floex

Tomáš Dvořák, known professionally as Floex, is a contemporary Czech composer, clarinetist, producer, DJ, and multimedia artist. He is best known for his work with indie game studio Amanita Design.
Dvořák released his debut album Pocustone in 2001 under the moniker Floex, which is a combination of the words "float" and "experiment". His work came to wider recognition, however, after composing the soundtrack for Amanita Design's award-winning adventure game Machinarium, as well as the Samorost series.

## Biography

Dvořák started playing clarinet at a young age and went on to study at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague and in the studio of Michael Bielický. He first recorded electronic music in 1996 and released Pocustone in 2001 to critical acclaim. During the early 2000s, he created several live multimedia art installations including RGB.
He also began his collaboration with Amanita Design, starting with Samorost 2 in 2006. Their next game, Machinarium (2008) was met with wide acclaim and his score won PC Gamer's Best Soundtrack award for that year. He next released the EP Gone in 2013, featuring a collaboration with Hidden Orchestra.
His second full-length album, Zorya, was released in 2011. It received two Anděl awards and was nominated for several others. His third collaboration with Amanita Design, the ambitious Samorost 3, was also released in 2016. His latest album, A Portrait of John Doe (2018), a collaboration with Tom Hodge and the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, fuses modern classical music with avant-garde electronica.

# Elmer Sopha

Elmer Walter Sopha, QC (April 18, 1924 – January 4, 1982) was a Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Sudbury in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1959 to 1971. He was a member of the Ontario Liberal Party.

## Career

Sopha was born in Cobalt, Ontario. He served with the Royal Canadian Navy and attended the University of Toronto, receiving a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1953. Sopha was called to the bar two years later, and was named a Queen's Counsel in 1965.
He was first elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1959 provincial election, defeating his Progressive Conservative opponent by 3,143 votes. He was re-elected with a reduced majority in the 1963 election, and defeated Progressive Conservative Jim Gordon by only 540 votes in 1967.
Nicknamed "The Northern Gadfly" by the southern Ontario media, Sopha was considered one of the great orators in Ontario politics of his era. He was one of just two MPPs in the province, with caucus colleague Leo Troy, who voted against the adoption of the current Flag of Ontario. The Sudbury area has a large population of Franco-Ontarians among whom the flag was widely regarded as a symbol of British imperialism, and Sopha argued in the legislature that the flag was not an appropriate symbol of Ontario's cultural diversity.
Also in 1965, Sopha spoke out in the legislature against CBC news anchor Earl Cameron, for allegedly having compromised his objectivity by appearing in a toothpaste commercial.
Sopha strongly opposed Charles Templeton's bid for the Liberal Party leadership in 1966, following the resignation of Andy Thompson. He had been one of Templeton's strongest supporters in the 1964 Liberal leadership race and the only caucus member to have supported the broadcaster, but Sopha announced that his previous support of Templeton had been a serious mistake. It has been suggested that Sopha raised money for Templeton in 1964, which Templeton never acknowledged. Templeton declined to enter the contest, largely due to opposition from the party caucus.
Sopha did not seek re-election in the 1971 campaign, and served on the governing body of the Law Society of Upper Canada from 1971 to 1975. He attempted a return to the legislature in the 1975 election, and lost to New Democratic Party (NDP) candidate Bud Germa by 2,278 votes. He tried again in the 1981 election, and lost to NDP candidate Floyd Laughren by 3,410 votes in Nickel Belt.
Sopha died suddenly while vacationing in Phoenix, Arizona on January 4, 1982. He was survived by his wife, a son, and three daughters.
