In a time of walls and lock- down, [she] opens the door.” We can say the same for the previous two novels, Autumn (2016) and Winter (2017), presuming that Summer, due out in 2020, will uphold the running theme of highlighting the exclusion of the Other, of putting up walls, of locking out everything that is diff erent, alien, strange. In showing how to keep our doors open, both literally and metaphorically, she speaks up against the policies that are taking over today’s world, policies which, to many of us, are unacceptable and are perceived as actions against humanity. Ali Smith, born in Inverness in 1962, received a joint degree in English language and literature from the University of Aberdeen and has been living in Cambridge since 1992. Her fi rst collection of stories, Free Love and Other Stories, came out in 1995 and over the years she has been shortlisted four times for the Man Booker Prize, the last time for Autumn in 2017. It is in this fi rst novel of the Quartet that we are witness to Smith’s immeasurable anger and overwhelming anxiety at the outcome of the 2016 EU Referendum. In foregrounding what started to take place immediately after the Referendum results were announced: “GO HOME” painted on houses, people reacting to foreign holiday-makers in a negative manner, insults hurled by thugs and anger directed at immigrants, especially Poles and Muslims, as well as quite openly by right-wing politicians in the media, she evokes a very deep thought-provoking refl ection on divisions: local, national and international. This is especially evident in the mantra-like chapter in which, referring to the outcome of the Referendum, each sentence repetitively starts with the phrase “All across the country…,” showing the existing divisions between, for example, “misery and rejoicing,” people feeling “it was the wrong thing” and others feeling “it was the right thing,” or that they “had done the right thing and other people had done the wrong thing. […] All across the country, things got nasty. […] All across the country racist bile was general. […] All across the country, people said it was about control. All across the country, everything changed overnight” (59–61). 6 Aniela Korzeniowska What, however, has not changed is the very deep and unusual friendship between the main character, thirty-two-year-old Elisabeth Demand, a casual contract junior lecturer teaching a history-of-art course at one of the universities in London, and a Jewish-German World-War II survivor, Daniel Gluck, who has reached the age of 101, is living in a care home and has no next of kin. They have known each other since Elisabeth was eight years old, when Daniel moved into the house next door. Without ever really saying anything about himself or his past,1 he introduces the little girl to a completely diff erent way of thinking, of perceiving the world, of using language, reading books, and looking at art, pop-art of the 1960s in particular. His staple question on greeting her: “What you reading?” keeps her in good stead. Books are always with her, even when she sits at his bedside when he is in a protracted sleep, still alive but not openly reacting to the outside world. When there is no possibility of dialogue any more, literature and art remain. Autumn by Ali Smith is an international novel, a novel of contemporary divi- sions and exclusion, but also a novel of love and enduring friendship. It refers to topics that concern all of us, the love and understanding of one human being towards another, no matter who that person is, where s/he comes from, and also where s/he is heading. It is a reaction to what is happening in our world today, the refl ection of which is Brexit, the breaking up of a union, creating borders and divisions that do not lead to anything positive. At the same time, we are also awakened to a wider

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Trade Mark Ex-Parte Decision O/631/20
    O-631-20 TRADE MARK ACT 1994 IN THE MATTER OF APPLICATION NUMBER: 3459060 BY MICHAEL MACKENZIE TO REGISTER THE FOLLOWING TRADE MARK IN CLASS 33: INBHIR NIS Background 1. On 17 January 2020, Mr Michael MacKenzie (‘the applicant’) applied to register the above trade mark for the following goods: Class 33 :Whisky; Malt whisky; Scotch whisky; Whiskey [whisky]. 2. On 22 January 2020, the Intellectual Property Office (‘IPO’) issued an examination report in response to the application. The examination report contained objections under Section 3(1)(b) and 3(3) (b) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 (‘the Act’). The letter read as follows: “Absolute grounds for refusal Section 3(1)(b) and (c) The application is not acceptable in Class 33. There is an objection under Section 3(1)(b) and (c) of the Act. This is because the mark consists exclusively of a sign which may serve in trade to designate the geographical origin of the goods e.g. Inbhir Nis is the Scottish Gaelic name for Inverness. Absent any unique or distinctive element the average consumer is only going to perceive the sign as an indication that the whisky emanates from Inbhir Nis/Inverness rather than a badge of trade origin capable of distinguishing your whisky from those provided by other undertakings. Section 3(3)(b) The application is not acceptable in Class 33 as there is an objection under Section 3(3)(b) of the Act. This is because Inbhir Nis is the Scottish Gaelic name for Inverness and so the mark indicates that the whisky is from Scotland.

In this paper a brief summary will be given about the historical development of geomagnetism as a science in southern Africa and particularly the role played by Hermanus Magnetic Observatory in this regard. From a very modest beginning in 1841 as a recording station at the Cape of Good Hope, Hermanus Magnetic Observatory is today part of the South African National Space Agency (SANSA), where its geomagnetic field data are extensively used in international research projects ranging from the physics of the geo-dynamo to studies of the near-Earth space environment. 1 Introduction Keetmanshoop enable studies of secular variation patterns over southern Africa and the influence of the South Atlantic The requirements of navigation during the era of explo- Magnetic Anomaly (e.g. Pavón-Carasco and De Santis, ration, rather than any scientific interest in geomagnetism, 2016) on the characteristics of the global geomagnetic prompted the recording of geomagnetic field components field.

This name combines a French given name and English byname. This is an acceptable lingual mix under Appendix C of SENA. We note that Jean is also found as an English given name used by both men and woman in the late 16th century (FamilySearch Historical Records), making this an entirely English name.

  • Roman Ryterband: Life and Work
    Roman Ryterband: Life and Work 2014 PADEREWSKI LECTURE-RECITAL Polish Music Center INTRODUCTION The program of music by Roman Ryterband (1914-1979) presented by the Polish Music Center on the USC campus on 2 April 2016 celebrates the culmination of a long and truly satisfying collaboration with the composer’s widow, Clarissa Ryterband, his daughters, Astrid Ryterband and Diana Eisele, and their families, to assemble a great treasure trove of materials related to Roman Ryterband. This concert and the commemorative booklet herein officially mark the donation of the Ryterband Collection to the archives of the Polish Music Center, which celebrated its thirtieth anniversary of service in 2015. Besides disseminating information about Polish music worldwide and staging concerts on the USC campus and beyond, the Polish Music Center is a unique repository of manuscripts by leading Polish composers. The Manuscript Collection that began in 1984 with gifts from Stanisław Skrowaczewski and Witold Lutosławski now encompasses thousands of items representing the most important Polish composers of the twentieth century, including such exceptional figures as Zygmunt Stojowski, Henryk Wars (Henry Vars), Bronisław Kaper, and Ignacy Jan Paderewski. Each of these extraordinary collections represents a microcosm of a composer’s life and persona, often encompassing not only manuscripts, sketches and notes, but also personal and professional correspondence, memorabilia and countless personal items, photographs, and writings. Pieced together, this mosaic of elements offers a fascinating portrait of the artist, shedding much light on their activities, personal interests, family and friends, and historical context. This is particularly true of the Roman Ryterband Collection, which opens up new vistas and exciting possibilities for thorough research into this relatively little-known composer.
