‘An Amazing Want of Christianity’: Bishop Samuel Wilberforce and John Henry Newman’s Tense Relationship

This paper will examine the relationship between Samuel Wilberforce and John Henry Newman. The two priests had a common cause in their wish to see the Church of England rediscover its Catholic identity – which led them to work alongside one another at the beginning of the Oxford Movement – but quickly drifted apart because of their strong divergences on the nature of the Church and the place of Tradition, as well as Samuel Wilberforce’s strong hostility to Rome. The paper also examines the place of Samuel Wilberforce’s young brother in this relationship.

Brothers

This chapter tells the story of the early years of the Nicholas family; the Nicholas Collegians, the highly skilled and musically versatile ten-piece orchestra directed by Viola Nicholas, playing piano, and Ulysses Nicholas, on drums; young Fayard’s musical orientation; and the decision by Ulysses and Viola that their sons would perform as the Nicholas Kids. The success of the Nicholas brothers was a family affair. Love and respect, perfection and professionalism had been instilled by parents who not only guided and managed their sons’ career but modeled a supreme form of partnership at home that the brothers would celebrate together on stage. It was at the Standard Theater, where the Nicholas Collegians were installed, that young Fayard watched tap dance in live performance, memorized the steps, and taught them to his young brother Harold.

Genetic screening for TLR7 variants in young and previously healthy men with severe COVID-19: a case series

Advanced age, male sex and chronic comorbidities are associated with severe COVID-19. However, these general risk factors cannot explain why critical illness occurs in young and apparently healthy individuals. In the past months, several publications have identified susceptibility loci and genes using comprehensive GWAS studies or genome, exome or candidate genes analysis. A recent study reported rare, loss-of-function TLR7 variants in otherwise healthy young brother pairs from two families with severe COVID-19. We aimed to prospectively study the prevalence of rare X-chromosomal TLR7 genetic variants in our cohort of young male patients with severe COVID-19. We recruited 13 patients ≤50 years who had no risk factors known to be associated with severe disease. We studied the entire TLR7 coding region and identified two missense variants (p.Asn215Ser, c.644A>G and p.Trp933Arg, c.2797T>C) in two out of 13 cases (15.4%). These variants were not previously reported in population control databases (gnomAD) and were predicted to be damaging by all in silico predictors. The male index patients were between 25 and 30 years old and had no apparent comorbidities. The TLR7 p.Asn215Ser co-segregated in 2 first-degree relatives severely affected by COVID-19, in a younger previously healthy the variant was found in hemizygous state , and in an older than 60 was in heterozygous state. No family members were available for testing the segregation of the p.Trp933Arg variant. These results further support that susceptibility to severe COVID-19 could be determined by inherited rare genetic variants in TLR7. Understanding the causes and mechanisms of life-threatening COVID-19 is crucial and could lead to novel preventive and therapeutic options. This study supports a rationale for the genetic screening for TLR7 variants in young men with severe COVID-19 in the absence of other relevant risk factors. A diagnosis of TLR7 deficiency could not only inform on treatment options for the patient, but it also enables for pre-symptomatic testing of at-risk male relatives with the possibility of instituting early preventive and therapeutic interventions.

"The Realities of their World": Engaging Pre-service School Librarians with International Literature

As the idea of global citizenship grows stronger in a world with blurring borders, issues of social justice and international human rights should be available in the school library collection and alive in the curriculum. This paper reports findings on a study exploring the perceptions of preservice educators in using international literature to teach youth about international human rights. The 2013 Batchelder Honor title Son of a Gun (de Graaf, 2012), translated from the Dutch into English, tells the story of a young brother and sister forced to become child soldiers during the Liberian civil war of the 1990s. Study participants enrolled in a masters level course in the United States read the title and the United Nations’ Declaration of the Rights of the Child (1959) and then participated in group literature circles to apply the DRC to Son of a Gun and discuss teaching international human rights to youth.

Judy Moody and the Right Royal Tea Party by M. McDonald

McDonald, Megan. Judy Moody and the Right Royal Tea Party. Illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. Candlewick Press, 2018. The multi-volume Judy Moody series continues here as Judy attempts to complete a grade three assignment: create a family tree. Learning that one of her British ancestors was “Mudeye” Moody, rescuer of a prisoner from the Tower of London during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, Judy embellishes: the rescuer was a young prince; the prisoner was a princess; she, herself, is akin to royalty, a future Queen. There is, however, a rival for her title, her schoolmate, Jessica Finch. Jessica, too, has British roots. She, too, claims kinship with Mudeye Moody. Jessica’s Mudeye, however, was a rat catcher who rescued his lady from the Tower in the time of Queen Victoria. Unaware that more than two centuries elapsed between the reigns of Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria, the two girls decide that Mudeye Moody, the one-and-the-same, is their mutual ancestor. They ally; they are “step sisters.” They will keep secret Judy’s relationship to the rat catcher, but, together, they will stage a “Right Royal Tea Party.” Judy Moody is a domineering child. No constitutional monarch is she; she is a despot, her younger brother the target of her bullying. In both conversational and narrative passages, scatology is the norm. Judy and her friends belong to the “Toad Pee Club.” They meet in the “Toad Pee Tent.” Her younger brother’s Siamese Fighting Fish is named “Prince Redmond the Farter.” It communicates, of course, by ”farting.” Throughout the book, the young brother is referred to as “Stink.” (There is never any adult censure of this talk.) Dubious diction continues in Judy’s letter to the current Queen Elizabeth. She asks: “...Did you ever ride a hinny? (That’s a cross between a horse and a donkey, not a hiney?) … P.S. Sorry if I’m not supposed to say hiney in a letter to the Queen.” (Among its various uses, “hiney” is slang for “buttocks.” It is, as well, a derogatory 20th-century term for a German soldier.) Questions spring to mind as one reads this book: does the writing merely reflect the anal obsessions of children, or does it encourage them? The same could be asked about bullying behaviours. It is also curious that the historical dates of Elizabeth I (who died in 1603) and Queen Victoria (who came to the throne in 1837) are never given. There are natural opportunities within the story to do so: Peter Reynold’s illustration of “Famous Women Rulers” is one such opportunity; the Moody family’s trip to Wolff Castle is another. Of course, if Judy and Jessica discover the dates, they must give up their assumptions about Mudeye; he would have to have lived for more than two centuries to perform his dual acts of gallantry. Are the presumed readers (upper primary, lower elementary school children) thought to be too immature to appreciate this absurdity? Or must they be kept in ignorance lest the contrivance of the plot be revealed? In Canada, school children are taught that the Queen is a constitutional monarch, a symbol of national unity, not a ruler. Because she lives in England, she has a Canadian representative who performs her ceremonial duties. A Canadian Judy Moody might dream differently—perhaps pretending that she is an astronaut like Governor General Julie Payette. While much imagination went into the premise of this book, it lacks thoughtful, well considered composition. However popular the Judy Moody books, this entry in the series is weak.

PENGGUNAAN SAPAAN BAHASA ACEH DALAM KELUARGA PADA MASYARAKAT ACEH

This study aims to investigate and to describe the forms of address in family in Acehnese language that are used by Acehnese people. This study is qualitative research and descriptive method is used. This research is done by three stages of activity. The three of activities are data provision, data analysis, and result of research. Techniques that were used in data collecting of the forms of address in family of Acehnese people are through observation partipation and free interview with Acehnese people who are assumed know Acehnese language and custom well. The result of study shows that: 1) there are the differences of address term among some dialects in Aceh, such as North Aceh dialect, Aceh Pidie dialect, Great Aceh dialect, and West Aceh dialect. They are the addresses for father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, brother, sister, the old brother of father or mother, the old sister of father or mother, the young brother of father or mother, and the young sister of father or mother; 2) there is the interference of Arabic Language on the term of addresses in family of Acehnese language, such as the use of term abi, abon, waled, and abu for father; ummi, mi (from ummi), mu (from ummu) for mother, jiddon for grandfather, and jiddah for grandmother; 3) there are terms of addresess that are used only in certain people in society (nobility) such the use of address word ampon (ampon, ampon bang, ampon yah, ampon cek).Keywords: Form of Address, Term of Addresss in family, Acehnese people

The American

‘You you a nun; you with your beauty defaced and your nature wasted you behind locks and bars! Never, never, if I can prevent it!’ A wealthy American man of business descends on Europe in search of a wife to make his fortune complete. In Paris Christopher Newman is introduced to Claire de Cintré, daughter of the ancient House of Bellegarde, and to Valentin, her charming young brother. His bid for Claire's hand receives an icy welcome from the heads of the family, an elder brother and their formidable mother, the old Marquise. Can they stomach his manners for the sake of his dollars? Out of this classic collision between the old world and the new, James weaves a fable of thwarted desire that shifts between comedy, tragedy, romance and melodrama a fable which in the later version printed here takes on some of the subtleties associated with this greatest novels.

Chaucer's Summary of Statius' Thebaid II-XII

Toward the end of his Troilus and Criseyde (5.1457-1533), hereinafter TC, Chaucer has Cassandra set about interpreting for her young brother Troilus his dream of seeing Criseyde (5.1233-42) in the arms of a boar and in due course includes a twenty-six line summary of the last eleven books (II-XII) of Statius' Thebaid. This summary occupies TC 5.1485-1510, i.e., stanzas 213-216, except for the end of stanza 216, where Cassandra passes on to other matters. In all manuscripts of TC (essentially sixteen) except British Museum MS Harleian 2392 (siglum H4) and Bodleian MS Rawlinson Poet. 163 (siglum R), there are inserted between TC stanzas 214 and 215, and accordingly as near the middle of Cassandra's summary as is practicable, twelve Latin hexameters outlining in very sketchy fashion the twelve books of the Thebaid at the rate of one hexameter per book. This Latin twelve-line argument will be referred to hereinafter mostly as Arg. with line number.

Sir Thomas Little Heath 1861-1940

Thomas Little Heath, who died on 16 March 1940, was one of the most learned and industrious scholars of our time. He was born on 5 October 1861, youngest of three sons of Samuel Heath, of Thornton Curtis Farm, Ulceby, Lincolnshire. The three sons and one of two daughters went up to Cambridge, where they all took honours in classics or mathematics, and the youngest won distinction in both. The eldest, Joseph Little, was a Scholar of St John’s College, and tenth Wrangler in 1877. The second son, Robert Samuel, entered Trinity College in 1877, starting with the then unusual honour of a Major Scholarship at entrance; he graduated as second Wrangler in 1881, was bracketted Second Smith’s Prizeman, and got his Fellowship two years after. He was well known later on as Professor of Mathematics and Vice-Principal of Mason’s College, Birmingham. He was a dark, bearded man, very different in build and looks to his young brother; they say he was bearded as a schoolboy, at fifteen. The third and youngest son, Thomas Little, won a scholarship at Trinity, and went into residence in 1879.
