The articles may be engaging (I hope there is something to interest everyone this year), but what really matters are the matriculations, examination results and the yearly records of rugby, Ellesmere Society, chapel and the rest. When a sports captain is late with a report (when are they not?) an editor, unless s/he is their tutor, has little enough purchase on their conscience, but reminding them of their duty to ensure that their and their teammates’ performance is preserved for as long as Brasenose College persists can sometimes work with the more romantic of disposition. If only they also understood that in-jokes are meaningless to any reader outside the team, and will be meaningless to any member of the team too in ten years’ time. As I prepare to pass on this role after five most interesting years, I note how Graeme Richardson’s guidance also informed the articles I have found myself stimulated to write for the Nose in that time – on a former Fellow and former student of the College, both war casualties recorded in the Chapel, and this year on an archaeological discovery in the shadow of the same building. All of these were details of the College history that I suppose struck me as demanding to be recorded, not forgotten, whether people or academic institutions that predated Brasenose College. In the case of Druce Robert Brandt, a former Classics tutor killed at Ypres in 1915, it was an article that David Walsh had been kind enough to write in 2014 about the Brasenose experience of the Great War that led, ultimately, to my presence at my predecessor’s grave in Talana Farm Cemetery on the centenary of his death, standing alongside his grand-niece. A sharper awareness of the history of the College is one thing I shall take away from this job: the next editor will soon be fed up to the back teeth of submissions from me about its fascinating drainage system or a former Principal’s taste in snuff. Something I shall miss, however, is the interaction with old members wanting to supplement or correct (always apologetically and politely) what they had read in the latest issue, or (very tentatively) offer their own material for publication. This 6 THE BRAZEN NOSE is an opportunity to remind readers that this is your college, and thus your record: do please continue to flood my successor with submissions. A personal note of gratitude before I move on, however. Every time an envelope has arrived from Stephen Green at the Charterhouse I knew that it contained precious potential content for The Brazen Nose. His capacity to sniff out a Brasenose connection in anything he reads is quite extraordinary, but his concern that things worth recording be recorded is only what comes naturally to a man who formerly looked after the archive, library and museum of the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord’s. Meeting interesting and delightful people is another joy of editing the College magazine. We are a moderately-sized college in terms of physical footprint, and our Deer Park is by any standard a space of modest proportions, its very name an ironic acknowledgement that other colleges occupy more extensive grounds. But recent developments within, under and around the Deer Park have enhanced it remarkably. The recently renovated “Medieval Kitchen” (one of my activities in retirement from the editorship will be a campaign to rename this very impressive old academic hall) now looks across at the restored cloister below the (renovated) main library, a brand-new reading room connected to the old library above by a spiral staircase. The “Old Cloisters”, as it is temporarily known, has instantly become the most beautiful interior in the College, while a bold replanting of the quad outside has made it seem twice as big as before: a Chapel Quad worthy of that alternative name, even. The rediscovered beauty of the library, not only the old cloister but the renovated main and History libraries upstairs, is less important than the wonderful workspace it represents for our students, needless to say. But add to that the spanking new state-of-the-art archive underneath the library, and the heart of the College, between the Library, the Chapel, the Kitchen and the Hall, has never looked so good. We are grateful beyond words to the hugely generous old members who made it all possible. Where the Deer Park meets New Quad stands a newly planted tree, a Cercidiphyllum japonicum or katsura tree donated by Modern History tutor Dr Rowena Archer. According to the Royal Horticultural Society, C. japonicum has leaves that turn “yellow, orange and pink in autumn, when they smell of burnt sugar.” Hence another name: “the caramel tree.” This specimen was planted to commemorate two students, Matt Carver (Modern History) and Kieran Keel (Modern History and Spanish) who EDITOR’S NOTES 7 died while undergraduates of the College. It was dedicated to their memory in a moving ceremony in May. Matt and Kieran’s loved ones expressed surprise that the College still remembered them, but as I thought when I heard that, remembering is what a college does best. A memorable event for the students was the biennial College Ball, this year on a theme of Odyssey: A Journey into the Unknown, satisfyingly Classical for your editor (who was also a singularly untested Senior Member of the Ball Committee), although it spent more time in outer space than Greece or Rome. Under the presidency of Alice Wilcock it was a stellar, so to speak, success and a tough act for the next Ball Committee to follow. (They manage it, though, every time.) Our results in Schools at the end of the year were exceptionally strong, and I can only conclude that these two successes are related. I last enjoyed a Ball in

  • Women Readers of Middle Temple Celebrating 100 Years of Women at Middle Temple the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales
    The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple Middle Society Honourable the The of 2019 Issue 59 Michaelmas 2019 Issue 59 Women Readers of Middle Temple Celebrating 100 Years of Women at Middle Temple The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales Practice Note (Relevance of Law Reporting) [2019] ICLR 1 Catchwords — Indexing of case law — Structured taxonomy of subject matter — Identification of legal issues raised in particular cases — Legal and factual context — “Words and phrases” con- strued — Relevant legislation — European and International instruments The common law, whose origins were said to date from the reign of King Henry II, was based on the notion of a single set of laws consistently applied across the whole of England and Wales. A key element in its consistency was the principle of stare decisis, according to which decisions of the senior courts created binding precedents to be followed by courts of equal or lower status in later cases. In order to follow a precedent, the courts first needed to be aware of its existence, which in turn meant that it had to be recorded and published in some way. Reporting of cases began in the form of the Year Books, which in the 16th century gave way to the publication of cases by individual reporters, known collectively as the Nominate Reports. However, by the middle of the 19th century, the variety of reports and the variability of their quality were such as to provoke increasing criticism from senior practitioners and the judiciary. The solution proposed was the establishment of a body, backed by the Inns of Court and the Law Society, which would be responsible for the publication of accurate coverage of the decisions of senior courts in England and Wales.

  • Early Observations of the Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov
    geosciences Article Early Observations of the Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov Chien-Hsiu Lee NSF’s National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory, Tucson, AZ 85719, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-520-318-8368 Received: 26 November 2019; Accepted: 11 December 2019; Published: 17 December 2019 Abstract: 2I/Borisov is the second ever interstellar object (ISO). It is very different from the first ISO ’Oumuamua by showing cometary activities, and hence provides a unique opportunity to study comets that are formed around other stars. Here we present early imaging and spectroscopic follow-ups to study its properties, which reveal an (up to) 5.9 km comet with an extended coma and a short tail. Our spectroscopic data do not reveal any emission lines between 4000–9000 Angstrom; nevertheless, we are able to put an upper limit on the flux of the C2 emission line, suggesting modest cometary activities at early epochs. These properties are similar to comets in the solar system, and suggest that 2I/Borisov—while from another star—is not too different from its solar siblings. Keywords: comets: general; comets: individual (2I/Borisov); solar system: formation 1. Introduction 2I/Borisov was first seen by Gennady Borisov on 30 August 2019. As more observations were conducted in the next few days, there was growing evidence that this might be an interstellar object (ISO), especially its large orbital eccentricity. However, the first astrometric measurements do not have enough timespan and are not of same quality, hence the high eccentricity is yet to be confirmed. This had all changed by 11 September; where more than 100 astrometric measurements over 12 days, Ref [1] pinned down the orbit elements of 2I/Borisov, with an eccentricity of 3.15 ± 0.13, hence confirming the interstellar nature.

    The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne 1874 PART 1--DROPPED FROM THE CLOUDS Chapter 1 "Are we rising again?" "No. On the contrary." "Are we descending?" "Worse than that, captain! we are falling!" "For Heaven's sake heave out the ballast!" "There! the last sack is empty!" "Does the balloon rise?" "No!" "I hear a noise like the dashing of waves. The sea is below the car! It cannot be more than 500 feet from us!" "Overboard with every weight! . everything!" Such were the loud and startling words which resounded through the air, above the vast watery desert of the Pacific, about four o'clock in the evening of the 23rd of March, 1865. page 1 / 899 Few can possibly have forgotten the terrible storm from the northeast, in the middle of the equinox of that year. The tempest raged without intermission from the 18th to the 26th of March. Its ravages were terrible in America, Europe, and Asia, covering a distance of eighteen hundred miles, and extending obliquely to the equator from the thirty-fifth north parallel to the fortieth south parallel. Towns were overthrown, forests uprooted, coasts devastated by the mountains of water which were precipitated on them, vessels cast on the shore, which the published accounts numbered by hundreds, whole districts leveled by waterspouts which destroyed everything they passed over, several thousand people crushed on land or drowned at sea; such were the traces of its fury, left by this devastating tempest. It surpassed in disasters those which so frightfully ravaged Havana and Guadalupe, one on the 25th of October, 1810, the other on the 26th of July, 1825.

  • Catalysishub NEWSLETTER
    CatalysisHub NEWSLETTER The UK Catalysis Hub has created a thriving and successful network of catalytic scientists who are developing and promoting catalytic science in the UK. The Hub has succeeded in coordinating the community and is contributing to the development of new approaches and techniques in the field. It has provided substantial added value and is now recognised widely both in the UK and internationally. It will provide an excellent base for the future development of this crucial area of science in the UK. “The Hub has demonstrated resilience in the current pandemic with the community coming together to support each other through webinars and training courses and we will continue these in more normal times. Our proposal round was very successful with a large number of high quality proposals submitted and we have funded an excellent portfolio of research. The next few months will hopefully see an easing of the lockdown and an increase in our ability to do research. We hope that all are keeping well and safe and we look forward to meeting in person when we can and discussing catalytic research face to face.” ~ Professor Christopher Hardacre, Director Events Highlights of 2020 online via our website, so they will be a future resource for the whole catalysis community. COVID-19 has had a major impact on scientific network and dissemination due to travel UKCC 2020, 7 - 9 January 2020 restrictions and social distancing making face to face meetings and conferences unfeasible.
