Henry William Beechey (1788/89 – 4 August 1862) was an English painter and explorer. His father was the painter Sir William Beechey, RA and his stepmother was Anne Jessop. He followed his father's profession. He sent a marine subject to the Royal Academy in 1829, and another in 1838 to the British Institution.

Life and career
Beechey was born in 1789 or 1790. His mother, his father's first wife, had five children before her death. Beechey was brought up by his father William Beechey and his second wife, Anne Jessop. Both his father and stepmother were painters, and they married in 1793. They had many children together, and several of these would be notable painters. Beechey trained at the Royal Academy.

Some time before 1816, he had become secretary to Henry Salt, the British consul-general in Egypt, and at the latter's request accompanied Giovanni Belzoni in that and the following year beyond the second cataract, for the purpose of studying and making designs of the fine monuments existing at Thebes. In the laborious excavation of the temple of Ipsambul, Beechey took his share; he also copied the paintings, in the king's tombs in the valley of Biban-el-Muluk, which had lately been opened by Belzoni.

In common with Salt, Beechey had much to endure from Belzoni's suspicious and jealous nature (Life and Correspondence of Henry Salt, ed. Halls, volume ii.) About 1820 he returned to England, and the next year was appointed by Earl Bathurst, on the part of the colonial office, to examine and report on the antiquities of the Cyrenaica, his brother, Captain Beechey, having been detached to survey the coast-line from Tripoli to Derna. The results of this expedition, which occupied the greater part of the years 1821 and 1822, were chronicled in a journal kept by the brothers, to which Henry Beechey added numerous drawings, illustrative of the art and natural peculiarities of the classic region they were exploring, many of which were left out when the narrative came to be published in 1828.

Of the remainder of Beechey's life there is little record. He had seen much vicissitude, and in 1851 emigrated to New Zealand, where he died in 1862. He left a family. Besides his share in the above-mentioned work Beechey wrote a painstaking memoir of Sir Joshua Reynolds, prefixed to the edition of the latter's Literary Works, published in 2 vols. octavo, London, 1835, and afterwards reprinted in Bohn's Standard Library edition, 2 vols. octavo, London, 1852.

Beechey became a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1825.

Lexicon Mediae et Infimae Latinitatis Polonorum (Polish Słownik łaciny średniowiecznej w Polsce) is the most comprehensive dictionary of the Latin language as was used in Poland from the 10th to the middle of the 16th century. Administratively, the dictionary belongs to the Institute of the Polish Language, Cracow, which is incorporated in the Polish Academy of Sciences.

History

As with similar dictionaries in other European countries, the origins of the Lexicon Mediae et Infimae Latinitatis Polonorum date from a project launched through the Union Académique Internationale in 1920, which aimed to compile a great common dictionary of Medieval Latin based on excerpts from the different national sources. Since the initiative at that time was not fully possible to be accomplished and caused many technical problems, it eventually resulted in the establishment of a number of separate, national dictionaries after suggestions given by Dr Plezia. In Poland, preparatory work started immediately (under the auspices of the Polish Academy of Learning), and the majority of the excerpts were collected in the years 1924–1939.  Subsequently, due to the outbreak of the Second World War, progress on the dictionary was impeded for some years.

The first fascicle was published only in 1953, under the direction of the late Prof. Marian Plezia (1917–1996), longstanding editor of the Lexicon until his retirement in 1988. Prof. Krystyna Weyssenhoff–Brozkowa (1934–2007) was appointed as his successor, and performed the function until 2005, when Michał Rzepiela was appointed editor. The editorial team numbers six persons.

List of fascicles
Since 1953, seventy fascicles have been published, making it seven volumes completed to date (A–Q) plus most of the eighth volume (as of 2011, R–Sto).

 Vol. I (fascicles 1–8): A–Byssus
 Vol. II (fascicles 1(9)–10(18)): Cabaciolum–Czweczko
 Vol. III (fascicles 1(19)–10(28)): Dabilis–Exuvium
 Vol. IV (fascicles 1(29)–6(34)): F–Hystrix
 Vol. V (fascicles 1(35)–10(44)): I–Lyrista
 Vol. VI (fascicles 1(45)–8(51)): M–Oxymel
 Vol. VII (fascicles 1(52)–11(62): Pabulamen–Quout
 Vol. VIII (fascicles 1(63)–9(71)): Rabalipton–Sto

The Kvamshesten Basin is a sedimentary basin containing coarse continental clastic rocks of Devonian age. It is one  of a series of basins of similar age in southwestern Norway found between Sognefjord and Nordfjord, developed in the hanging-wall of the Nordfjord-Sogn Detachment. It is named for the mountain of Kvamshesten.

Tectonic setting
During the later part of the Silurian period, the western margin of the Baltic Plate was affected by the main collisional event of the Caledonian orogeny, known as the Scandian phase. This led to large-scale thrusting and the development of a mountain belt similar in scale to the Himalayas. Soon after the collision finished during the Early Devonian, the thickened crust began to extend. Initially the extension took place by reactivation of Caledonian thrust faults, known as Mode 1 extension. The uplift and exhumation led to a reduction of dip in these reactivated thrusts, making them progressively less mechanically viable. At this point Mode II extension took over, with development of large extensional shear zones that cross-cut the Caledonian thrust pile, such as the Nordfjord-Sogn Detachment.

Basin fill
The northern margin of the basin is dominated by conglomerates and breccias deposited by alluvial fans. The southern margin is mainly conglomerate, while with the central axis of the basin is mainly sandstone. Between the marginal conglomerates/breccias and the axial sandstones, finer-grained sequences are locally developed consisting of mudstone, siltstone and fine-grained conglomerate.

Structure
The overall dip of the Devonian sequence is to the east towards the tectonic contact with the Dalsfjord Fault (Kvamshesten Detachment). The whole sequence, the basement units beneath the unconformable contacts towards the western end of the basin, the detachment and the underlying highly deformed rocks of the shear zone formed by the Nordfjord-Sogn Detachment have a synclinal geometry, indicating north–south shortening.

The Devonian rocks are cut by a series of high-angle faults, most of them extensional in type with evidence of being active during sedimentation. These faults are confined to the hanging-wall of the underlying detachment fault. Some of these earlier extensional structures show evidence of reactivation as reverse faults.

Both the timing and the cause of the observed north–south shortening is uncertain. Suggestions that the shortening happened at the same time as the extension along the detachment, have been countered by there being no evidence of changes in the tightness of the folding with stratigraphic level and a lack of unconformities within the basin fill.

The Tale of Despereaux is a 2008 action video game published by Brash Entertainment. It is based on the 2008 film of the same name, which itself is based on the 2003 novel of the same name. It was first released for Nintendo DS, Wii, and PlayStation 2. A few days later, the game was also released on Microsoft Windows.

While the Nintendo DS version of the game received positive reviews, the other versions were mostly rated negatively.

Gameplay 
The Tale of Despereaux is an action game with jump 'n' run elements in which players control a mouse named Despereaux through a total of 16 chapters. While the Wii, PlayStation 2 and PC versions of the game feature a real 3D environment, the DS version is a 2.5D sidescroller game in which players have to walk from the left to the right side of the screen. When touching water, the mouse drowns and respawns at the start of the level or, if activated, the last checkpoint. Players can hit enemies with a sword to kill them. If enemies attack the mouse, the player dies and also respawns. Depending on the enemy, it will take a certain number of hits to kill them. In all levels, three notes—a red, a green, and a blue one—can be found.

Development 
On August 19, 2008, video game publisher Brash Entertainment announced that a video game based on the film The Tale of Despereaux was in development. On December 2, 2008, the game was released for Nintendo DS, Wii, and PlayStation 2. On December 16 of the same year, the game was also released on Microsoft Windows. An Xbox 360 version of the game was also planned, but cancelled for unknown reasons.

Reception 

According to Metacritic, the Nintendo DS version of the game received "Generally Favorable Reviews". IGN rated the PlayStation 2 and Wii versions of the game with 1.9 out of 10 points, calling it "[...] a total disaster [...]", stating that it "[...] offered almost nothing redeeming during the six to seven hours it took to beat it". However, the Nintendo DS version received a positive review with 7.7 of 10 points by IGN, stating that the game is "A charming little platformer that's ideal for younger gamers".

Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration and the Future of White Majorities is a 2018 non-fiction book written by Eric Kaufmann, a professor at Birkbeck College, University of London. Described by The Economist as a "monumental study of ethno-demographic change", Whiteshift covers politics in both Europe and North America and looks into the political views of the populist right. Kaufmann argues that the rise of Donald Trump in America and the populist right in Europe is a reaction to sweeping demographic change rather than to "economic anxiety".

Reviews
On release, The Times made Whiteshift the 'Book of the Week' but with a sceptical review by David Aaronovitch, who called it "a big controversial book about a big controversial subject". Publishers Weekly said it was "likely to make a big splash", and The Financial Times listed it as one of the 'Best books of 2018' in the politics genre. The New Yorker wrote that Kaufmann and Whiteshift were defending white identity politics. Daniel Trilling, in the London Review of Books, was critical of the book, describing Kaufmann's frame of reference as "both too broad and too narrow".

Kenan Malik wrote that "Whiteshift is a hefty work crammed with data and graphs. The trouble with viewing the world primarily in demographic terms, though, is that, for all the facts and figures, it is easy to be blind to the social context."

In a review symposium about Whiteshift published in the journal Ethnicities, political scientist Rob Ford wrote that "There is much to admire here. Kaufmann is methodologically catholic and draws on a rich range of different resources to examine and interrogate evolving white identity politics." However, he also noted "Kaufmann’s rather Manichean account of white ethnic politics involves some curious omissions and misunderstandings" and that "lack of balance is a recurring feature of Kaufmann’s discussions about the competing claims of ethno-cultural whites, cosmopolitan whites and ethnic minorities." Sociologist John Holmwood argued that the lack of any discussion of "settler colonialism or of the place of first Nation populations and enslavement of African Americans and Jim Crow segregation in the USA" represent "serious – in fact, fatal – omissions in a book concerned to rehabilitate symbols of white identity." Holmwood writes that "It is a very large book – 619 pages – but it is also poorly edited, repetitive and, I have suggested, partial."
