# Matsudaira Yasuhide

Matsudaira Yasuhide (松平 康英) (July 16, 1830 – July 5, 1904) was a Japanese daimyō of the late Edo period, who ruled the Tanakura and then Kawagoe Domains. He served as gaikoku bugyō and rōjū in the Tokugawa administration.

## Biography

Matsudaira Yasuhide was born in Edo to the high-ranking hatamoto Matsudaira Yasuzumi; his childhood name was Mantarō. He succeeded Yasuzumi upon the latter's retirement early in 1848, taking the name of Yasunao. Yasunao served in a variety of minor posts in the Tokugawa shogunate, before being appointed to the concurrent posts of gaikoku bugyō and Kanagawa bugyō in early 1860.
From 1860 to 1861, he was involved in boundary negotiations with Russia, and was a member of the Tokugawa shogunate's embassy to Europe.
Yasunao was adopted as the successor to Matsudaira Yasuhiro, lord of the Tanakura Domain, in late 1864. Shortly after his succession, he received the title of Suō no Kami and changed his name to Yasuhide.
Yasuhide was slated for transfer to the Utsunomiya Domain in the spring of 1865; however, this was canceled. Soon afterward he was appointed to the position of rōjū.
In 1866, he was again slated for transfer, this time to the Shirakawa Domain; however, because of the current ruling family's financial situation, this move was also canceled; Yasuhide was instead moved to the Kawagoe Domain. In Kawagoe, he is remembered for having opened the domain's school, the Chōzenkan (長善館). Yasuhide was relieved of his duties as rōjū during the disintegration of the Tokugawa government in early 1868. After the start of the Boshin War, he was briefly ordered into solitary confinement by the Meiji Government for a month in the spring of 1868; the next year, he retired in favor of his adopted heir, Yasutoshi.

# The Age of Longing

The Age of Longing is a 1995 novel by Canadian author Richard B. Wright and published by HarperCollins. The novel was nominated for the 1995 Scotiabank Giller Prize and Governor General's Award in the English-language fiction category.

## Plot

Howard Wheeler returns to his home in Northern Ontario where his family lived. Upon his mother's death, he comes back to sell off the property and reminisces about his childhood memories. His father Ross 'Buddy' Wheeler is an unsuccessful hockey player and his mother Grace Wheeler is a schoolteacher. Grace is a stern, taciturn woman who considered her decision to marry Ross as her biggest mistake. She had assumed that Ross's fascination with hockey would end after marrying and assuming responsibilities. Their married life is on rocks. Howard lives a life in-between his two parents, but is always Mama's boy. After the couple separates, Howard lives with Grace. Years later, when Howard accidentally meets his father, he regrets not having been in contact with him for these many years. The two meet in an unceremonial and awkward way, pondering their past and the mistakes which they could have remedied.

## Publication and development

The book was the first of Wright's books to be published by HarperCollins, and his eighth novel overall.

# The Best of Secter and the Rest of Secter

The Best of Secter and the Rest of Secter is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Joel Secter and released in 2005. The film centres on Joel Secter's uncle, filmmaker David Secter, particularly but not exclusively on the impact of his 1965 film Winter Kept Us Warm.
The film has its roots in the 1990s, when Joel Secter, who had not been in close contact with his uncle in many years and did not know that his uncle had directed films at all, unwittingly rented his uncle's 1976 sex comedy film Getting Together from a video store. Himself an aspiring filmmaker, he contacted his uncle, and the two collaborated as producers on the 1999 sex comedy film Cyberdorm, although the film was not successful. With even Secter's historically significant Winter Kept Us Warm nearly forgotten by the early 2000s, the two then collaborated on the documentary film, which explored both Secter's early success and his subsequent decision to join a bohemian artists' commune in New York City, where he virtually abandoned filmmaking. In his book Romance of Transgression in Canada: Queering Sexualities, Nations, Cinemas, Thomas Waugh wrote that the film "fills in the gaps in the subsequent career of a cinematic and sexual rebel whose artistic promise was not to be fully realized."
Notable figures who discussed Secter and Winter Kept Us Warm in the documentary included David Cronenberg, Michael Ondaatje, Philip Glass, Ed Mirvish, Joy Fielding and Lloyd Kaufman.
The film premiered at the National Screen Institute's FilmExchange festival in Winnipeg, Manitoba in March 2005, and received its first widespread coverage when it screened at the Inside Out Film and Video Festival in Toronto, Ontario in May. The film won the award for Best Documentary Film at the 2005 Whistler Film Festival.

# Maxwell Turner

Maxwell Joseph Hall Turner (1907–1960) was a Queen's Counsel and judge of the Mayor's and City of London Court, specifically a Commissioner on the Bench of the Central Criminal Court of England and Wales, the "Old Bailey".

## Biography

Turner was a barrister-at-law in the Inner Temple and on the South Eastern Circuit. In addition to his advocacy, Turner was the joint editor of Archbold’s Pleading, Evidence & Practice in Criminal Cases With the Statutes, Precedents of Indictments, etc. and the Evidence Necessary to Support Them (30th edition, Sweet & Maxwell/Stevens & Sons, London 1938).
In 1938, he became engaged to the actor Fabia Drake. He had met her 15 years previously at a gramophone dance at the Turner household, a connexion vitalised through his older brother, dramatist John Hastings Turner, a professional acquaintance of Drake's actor friend Marie Tempest, the promoter of the actors' union, Equity. Turner said he would never commit perjury, even to save Drake's life. They married in December 1938, and Drake gave up her career during the marriage to support him. They had one child, Deirdre, born in March 1940.
Turner disliked working for the defence because of the burden of responsibility should there be no acquittal due to a point overlooked; after prosecuting, he even advised the defence to appeal if he believed they were not properly represented. He was counsel for the Crown in a number of high-profile cases, including those of the Clapham Common murder trial of five youths and the Notting Hill serial killer and necrophile John Christie, both in 1953, and that of the German petty thief Guenther Podola, who was the last person executed in Great Britain for murdering a police officer, in 1959.
He became a judge in 1958. He was diagnosed with liver cancer the following year but dismissed the pain as indigestion; he was kept unaware of his true condition by doctors at Drake's request. He died after a brief stay in hospital at the age of 53, survived by his wife and daughter.
