# Patrick Meik

Patrick Walter Meik (1851 - 12 July 1910) was an English civil engineer and part of a minor dynasty. His father Thomas Meik was also an engineer, as was his younger brother Charles Meik.

## Early career

Both boys were born in Crowtree Road, Bishopwearmouth, Sunderland. Meik was educated at King’s College School, London, and at the University of Edinburgh, after which he joined his father's practice for three years' pupillage from 1868 to 1871. He then worked for John Aird & Co., employed on projects including the East London Waterworks at Sunbury and the Imperial Gasworks at Bromley.

## Later career

In 1873, Meik went to work for his father and worked on Meik's harbours at Burntisland (where he was resident engineer on the West Dock) and at Bo'ness on the River Forth in Scotland before being asked by Sir Benjamin Baker to be resident engineer (1882–1885) on the foundations and piers of the Forth Bridge (designed by Baker and Sir John Fowler). After this project, he moved to London and set up an office for his father's engineering practice, now known as Thomas Meik and Sons. He worked on a rail project at Lee-on-the-Solent during this time.
In 1894, he was joined by his brother Charles and together they worked on a major commission to construct docks and a railway at Port Talbot, followed by an equally ambitious scheme to expand the port of Seaham, officially opened in 1905, and the King’s Dock at Swansea, which was opened in 1909. The Meiks' expertise saw port and railway designs developed in many parts of the British Empire, including Christmas Island, India, Singapore, Burma (the Rangoon River training works – where Patrick worked with Sir George Buchanan) and Mozambique.
In the 1900s, their firm was commissioned to design the Kinlochleven hydroelectric scheme in the Scottish Highlands. William Halcrow joined the company and took up the position of assistant resident engineer at the Kinlochleven project. The Meik brothers' engineering practice was later renamed CS Meik and Halcrow and became one of the world's foremost engineering consultancies, the Halcrow Group (in 2005, the Edinburgh office of the Halcrow group bought Forth Bridge drawings originally created by Patrick Meik over 120 years earlier).
Patrick Meik died in London in 1910, mourned as "an able and accomplished engineer: whose kindness of heart and social qualities endeared him to a large circle of friends".

# Encyclopaedia Cursus Philosophici

The Encyclopaedia Cursus Philosophici is an encyclopedia of Johann Heinrich Alsted (1588–1638).
Johann Heinrich Alsted published the Encyclopaedia in seven volumes in 1620 in Herborn. It is often argued that this is the first work to bear the title "encyclopedia", though Joachim Sterck van Ringelbergh's Lucubrationes vel potius absolutissima kyklopaideia was published in 1538, and Paul Scalich published Encyclopediae seu orbis disciplinarum tam sacrarum quam profanarum epistemon in 1559.
Alsted was attempting with his Encyclopaedia to emulate the combination system of Ramon Llull as set out in Llull's 1308 Ars Magna, and thus to formulate a system of universal knowledge and a Llullian method for systematising the sciences. The scheme includes categorisations such as:
* generic - specific;
* peripheral - central;
* internal - external;
* communal - individual;
* quantum ad locum - ad conditionem ad aetatem;
* preparatorius - elaboratorius.
Alsted's approach influenced, among others, the pedagogue Johann Amos Comenius and the Hungarian encyclopedist Apáczai Csere János (1625–1659). Alsted's vision was that with the right methodologies of teaching and application, any person could have access to a perfect knowledge of all sciences.

# Droisy, Eure

Droisy (French pronunciation:) is a commune in the Eure department in northern France.
# Dream Train

Dream Train is an album by the American band the Accelerators, released in 1991. The album was barely marketed by Profile Records, prompting the band to ask for their release. The Accelerators subsequently broke up, with reunions taking place over the years that involved frontman Gerald Duncan backed by new musicians.
"Boy & Girl" was a regional radio hit; the band and local news outlets thought that it would have broken widely had the record label promoted it more.

## Production

The album was produced by Dick Hodgin. Jon Wurster played drums on Dream Train; he and Duncan had played together for two years. "Drivin'" is a love song that takes place in part at a rehab facility.

| The Encyclopedia of Popular Music | |
| Houston Chronicle | |
| MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide | |
The Chicago Tribune wrote that, "marked by plenty of ringing, melodic guitar and some smooth, warm, three-part vocal harmonies, this package of ballads, mid-tempo tunes and all-out rockers also sneaks in a bit of humor on 'Drivin'." The News & Observer deemed the album "a solid, eclectic piece of work that makes significant strides over the Accelerators' previous effort."
The Advocate called the album "hilarious," and noted the absence of "posturing to become big stars." The Houston Chronicle thought that "they don't set a fire, but they do snap and crackle in the rockin' 'Boy & Girl' and 'Drivin', and especially in the melancholy 'All of Blue', which features one of the neatest two-chord changes since Lou Reed." The Roanoke Times determined that "some tunes hinge on free-flowing country guitars... Others are short bursts of clean rock energy, packed with weighty beats and words wailing about busted love affairs during holiday seasons ('Christmas This Year'), outlaws lashing back at the world ('You've Got It All') and frustration at work ('Los Angeles Is Falling')."
Robert Gordon, in AllMusic, labeled the album "simple, basic, boy and girl White rock ... it's nice."

# Drifting Snow

Drifting Snow is a 2021 Canadian drama film, written, produced, and directed by Ryan Noth.
The film centres on Joanne (Sonja Smits) and Chris (Jonas Bonnetta), two strangers brought together by a car accident on a back road in Ontario's Prince Edward County; although neither is injured, Chris's car is damaged enough to not be drivable, so Joanne drives him back to town in hers. Each is grieving a recent loss following the death of Joanne's husband John (Colin Mochrie) and Chris's mother; Chris has also recently been diagnosed with a progressive eye disease which may eventually threaten his career as a cinematographer. As the two talk during the drive, their shared experiences of loss and uncertainty about the future help each to find new perspective on their lives.
The cast also includes Linda Goranson, Jess Salgueiro, Patricia Phillips, Chris Locke and Rachel Bonnetta.

## Production

The film was shot in 2019, and had been planned to debut at the Kingston Canadian Film Festival in 2020, but was not screened at that time due to the cancellation of the festival in light of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. It instead had its debut at the online edition of the festival in 2021, before being commercially released to video on demand platforms in May.

## Critical response

Chris Knight of the National Post rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5, writing that it felt like a pandemic film even though it had been shot prior to COVID. He singled out Tess Girard's cinematography as the true highlight of the film, comparing it favourably to the work of Denis Côté.
Amil Niazi of The Globe and Mail concurred that Girard's cinematography was the standout part of the film, writing that "Girard's long, plaintive scenes and lingering shots of the county lend a brutal beauty and tension to the film’s otherwise slower-moving parts. Girard uses her skillful eye to portray the harshness of the land but also uplifts its curves, lending them a sense of comfort for those who choose to stay and make a home in its seemingly unforgiving shapes." Niazi praised both Smits's and Bonnetta's performances, and concluded that the film "is actually a perfect distillation of the pandemic experience. From the daily weight of navigating grief in solitude to the desires of many to leave the frenetic pace of city life for something more still and intentional, Drifting Snow is almost a tribute to what the past year has been for so many of us, fumbling our way toward something less lonely and waiting for the snow to pass."

## Awards

Girard received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Cinematography at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022.
# Bobrowniki Castle

Bobrowniki Castle was built by the Teutonic Knights in the late fourteenth, early fifteenth centuries. Following the Peace of Thorn (1411), it was taken over by the Polish, later to become a residence of the local mayor. Since the eighteenth century the castle lies in ruins.

## History

Bobrowniki castle was erected at the turn of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, after the purchase of Bobrowniki village by the Teutonic Knights in 1392, possibly as an extension of an earlier fortress. It was located on the site of an old stronghold, founded by the Duke of Dobrzyn, Ladislaus the Hump-backed. Due to the close proximity of the country border, the elders of Dobrzyń nad Wisłą constantly improved the fortifications around the castle, which became the seat of the local government.
In 1405 Wladyslaw Jagiello purchased Dobrzyn and Bobrowniki, but four years later the Teutonic Knights attacked the castle. With the help of the treason of the defending commander Bobrowniki castle went back into Teutonic hands only to be returned to the Polish in 1411. Its border location had once again become the cause of many investments in the modernization of the facility. However, it no longer played any military role in wars to come. During the Thirteen Years' War (1454–66) the castle served as a prison for captured Knights of the Teutonic Order. Changes of the national border ultimately deprived the building of any strategic role.
In the seventeenth century it was already devastated to the point of being abandoned by the local government. During the war with Sweden, in the second half of the eighteenth century, the structure was almost completely destroyed. In the nineteenth century it was formally decided to demolish the castle. The ruins do not have an owner to this day.

## Architecture

Little is known about the appearance of the fortress at the time of the Teutonic Knights or later. The object was probably two-winged (other sources say that it was a square), surrounded by walls and a moat, with one gate and a cylindrical tower. The only remains of the past splendor of the castle are elements of fortified walls and a sentry tower.
# David McLaren (politician)

David McLaren (1872 – 3 November 1939) was a Mayor of Wellington and Member of Parliament in New Zealand.

## Early years

McLaren was born in Glasgow, Scotland and an operative in the boot trade. He enjoyed the poetry of Robert Burns and was member of the Burns Club.
On arriving in Wellington McLaren became involved in the Union movement seeking to improve the lot of lower paid workers. McLaren was Secretary of the Wellington Wharf Labourers Union in New Zealand. He was considered a moderate socialist.
He was a member of the Wellington City Council for 11 years from 1901 to 1912 and was elected Mayor of Wellington from 1912 to 1913. McLaren was also a member of the Hospital Board for 12 years. During World War I McLaren was appointed to the Military Service Board, and also served on the War Relief Association from its inception in 1914. At the end of the war he was appointed to the Influenza Epidemic Commission.

## Member of Parliament

McLaren was one of nine candidates who contested the three-member City of Wellington electorate in the 1902 election; he came last with 7% of the vote. In the 1908 election, McLaren stood in the Wellington East electorate for the Independent Political Labour League (IPLL). Two Liberal candidates received similar votes and both were eliminated in the first ballot. This left McLaren face a conservative candidate, Arthur Atkinson, in the second ballot, and with many liberal voters transferring their allegiance to McLaren, he became the only candidate of the IPLL who was ever elected to the House of Representatives. McLaren attended the Liberal Party's caucus, but maintained his independence in the house, voting both with and against them.
In 1911 he was defeated by the conservative candidate, Alfred Newman, by 65 votes. At the 1914 contest, McLaren was again unsuccessful, this time by 48 votes.
McLaren became estranged from the Labour Party during World War I. He was concerned about the rise of militant elements within the party. Later on, McLaren organised the wartime Welfare League and through this was associated with Edward Kellett.
He died on 3 November 1939 at Wellington Public Hospital. He was survived by his wife and daughter who were living in London.
