# Agnes Blackie

Agnes Randall Blackie (12 July 1897 – 18 February 1975) was New Zealand's first female physics lecturer and probably the Southern Hemisphere's only female physics academic at the time of her appointment.

## Early life

Blackie was born in New Zealand on 12 July 1897 to parents Jeanetta Margaret and the Reverend James Blackie. James Blackie was a Presbyterian minister, who had been an early student at the University of Otago, and the first graduate of the Theological Hall, while Jeanetta was the first Principal of the Presbyterian Women's Training Institute, later known as Deaconess College. James Blackie died in 1897, the year that Agnes was born.

## University of Otago

Encouraged by her mother to attend university, Blackie worked in the University of Otago's Physics Department from 1919, when she appointed as an assistant lecturer, to sometime after her retirement in 1958.
Blackie wrote about her experiences as a student and lecturer. Her papers are included in the Blackie family papers in the Hocken Collections. Of her subject, she said “I can't imagine a better subject for a lecturer. Brimful of interest, it illumines and explains the world of everyday experience yet leads out in the furthest realms of space and inwards to the intriguing mysteries of the very small.” She described the practical demonstrations she would do during lectures as fun, and also gave public lectures. She was known to take particular care of female students, often inviting them for afternoon tea at her home. In 1951, Blackie published a guide for her first year students.
Blackie died on 18 February 1975.

## Recognition

In 1978, a group of former students donated money to create an award in Blackie's honour. The Agnes Randall Blackie Memorial Prize is awarded in her honour annually in the physics department at the University of Otago, to up to three students achieving the highest grades in 100-Level Physics, and intending to continue studying at a higher level in Biology, Health or Life Sciences.
In 2017, Blackie was selected as one of the Royal Society Te Apārangi's 150 women in 150 words, celebrating the contribution of women to knowledge in New Zealand.
The Dodd-Walls Centre awarded the inaugural Agnes Blackie Memorial Research Fellowship on the centenary of Blackie's appointment as the first female physics lecturer in New Zealand. The recipient was Jami Shepherd (Johnson).
# 1971–72 Virginia Squires season

The 1971–72 Virginia Squires season was the second season of the Virginia Squires in the American Basketball Association. This was the debut season of future Hall of Famer Julius Erving. In the first half of the season, the Squires were 26–16, with a season-high five-game losing streak and one five-game winning streak in that half. In the second half, they went 19–23. The Squires finished 2nd in points scored at 118.9 per game, but 9th in points allowed at 118.0 per game. Just before the season ended, Charlie Scott left the team and joined the NBA's Phoenix Suns, completing a trade with the Boston Celtics (who held his original draft rights) for Paul Silas. Scott set the all-time ABA individual single-season scoring record by averaging 34.6 points per game. In the playoffs, the Squires swept the Floridians (with Game 2 even being broadcast on CBS), but the Squires lost to the New York Nets in the Division Finals. After the season, the Squires stopped playing in Roanoke, electing to focus on Norfolk, Hampton, and Richmond only.

The book is marketed as having been written by the mythical wizard Merlin, having been originally discovered in the year 1588 and now being revealed to the world for the first time.
Wizardology is filled with useful spells and magical information. Readers can unveil novelty elements throughout; there are numerous pockets, flaps, secret codes, and scavenger hunts hidden throughout the book.
The author is Dugald Steer, while the book was designed by Nghiem Ta, and features the artwork of Helen Ward, Tomislav Tomic, John Howe, and Anne Yvonne Gilbert.

## Plot

History's most respected wizard, Merlin, describes the skills, techniques, and equipment of wizards around the globe, explains their characteristic use of spells, familiars, and potions, and offers other information and advice for apprentices.

# Ailsa Craig Engines

Ailsa Craig Engines was a manufacturer of marine and specialist made-to-order engines from 1891 to 1972. Named after the island off the coast of Ayr, Scotland, Ailsa Craig, the company began as a bicycle manufacturer in Glasgow in 1891, later moving to Putney, London, where the then owner went into partnership and set about building early vehicles, going on in 1904 to produce the world's first V12 engine intended for a Russian airship and even a petrol engined vacuum cleaner for Hubert Cecil Booth in 1904.

## Car production

Trading as the Putney Motor Company around 12 cars were made between 1902 and 1912. Each was individually designed to order. The smallest was a single cylinder engined light car made in 1902. At the other extreme was a 50 hp four-cylinder fitted with a luxury body and supplied to the Earl of Norbury.
Between 1906 and 1907 they also sold the Mayfair car which was imported from an unknown source probably French.

## Overview

A little later, Ellis Kisch took over and the company moved to 46/47 Strand-on-the-Green, Chiswick in West London. There was a concentration on reliable marine engineering with a Royal Appointment being granted in 1926. Following successful work for the Ministry of Munitions and the Admiralty during the First World War, there was a massive war commitment in 1939 when 5000 engines were to be supplied from an additional factory site in Twickenham. Harold Linford, who was the chief designer and general manager, was killed when an aerial bomb exploded over the Factory at Strand-on-the-Green in 1941. John Watson took over the running of the factory until the move to Ashford in 1949/1950 and there produced further quality diesel engines, with the help of Ricardo Engineering, under the direction of Robert Kisch – son of Ellis, between 1958 and 1963/4 when he was taken ill and moved ultimately to Jersey. This ultimately resulted in the company being sold to the Warsop's Fram Group in 1964.

## Closure

In 1972, Ailsa Craig ceased trading, although Dr Kisch and his son Christopher Kisch, continue to offer advice where appropriate.
# 1900 Swiss referendums

Three referendums were held in Switzerland during 1900. The first was held on 20 May on a federal law on health, accident and military insurance, and was rejected by 69.8% of voters. The second and third were held on 4 November on introducing proportional representation for National Council elections and the direct election and increase in members of the Federal Council. Both were rejected by a majority of voters and cantons.

## Background

The referendums on the changes to the National and Federal Councils were popular initiatives, which required a double majority; a majority of the popular vote and majority of the cantons. The decision of each canton was based on the vote in that canton. Full cantons counted as one vote, whilst half cantons counted as half. The insurance referendum was an optional referendum, which required only a majority of the public vote.
