Letter to Women: Letter to Women is a pastoral letter written by Pope John Paul II to "all" women, and deals most essentially with the rights and dignity of women, the many challenges that women in the modern era had to face, and ways in which the "cause" of woman could be forwarded in the world.  Written and distributed on June 29, 1995, this letter was written in anticipation of the Fourth World Conference on Women in September 1995, hosted by the United Nations in Beijing.  This letter was an affirmation to the continuing thought of Pope John Paul II on the importance of women in the Church, and the special roles in which only they can contribute in the realms of the family, the Church, and the world.  In his pontificate which lasted longer than 26 years, he continuously upheld the dignity and honor of women, and this letter was a significant contribution to his corpus of works on the importance of women within the Church.  Through this letter not only was the dignity and honor of women affirmed but of "all" people.

Winter of 1894–95 in the United Kingdom: The winter of 1894–95 was severe for the British Isles with a CET of 1.27 C .  Many climatologists have come to view this winter as the end of the Little Ice Age and the culmination of a decade of harsh winters in Britain.  Whereas the average CET for the ten winters from 1885–86 to 1894–95 was 2.87 C , no winter with a CET under 3.0 C followed for twenty-two years and no month as cold as February or January 1895 until 1940.  In contrast, between 1659 and 1894 no spell with every winter CET above 3.0 C had lasted longer than twelve winters.

James Lesslie (publisher): James Lesslie (November 22, 1802 – April 19, 1885) was an Ontario bookseller, reform politician and newspaper publisher.  His career was closely associated with - and somewhat overshadowed by - William Lyon Mackenzie, the Reform agitator, mayor of Toronto, and Rebellion leader.  However, as a leader himself, Lesslie took a prominent role in founding the Mechanics Institute (for adult education), the House of Refuge & Industry (a shelter for the unemployed), the Bank of the People, as well as the political parties known as the Canadian Alliance Society and Clear Grits.  In many way, he defined the Reform movement in Upper Canada without having reverted to the violent methods of Mackenzie.  His legacy may thus have lasted longer.
