As an unofficial running mate, he traveled widely, actively campaigning for his leader.Opposition
Wickremesinghe narrowly lost the election and following his defeat, there were requests by a section of the party for the leadership to be handed over to Jayasuriya. In the meantime, Wickremesinghe and Rajapakse signed a Memorandum of Understanding pledging to co-operate with the peace process. <mask> and his supporters insisted on taking a step further and joining the government formally by accepting ministerial office, which was strongly opposed by Wickremesinghe. The ensuing power struggle resulted in a bitter and acrimonious war of attrition between the two. Cross over and return

E. B. C<mask> (15 April 1893 – 30 June 1966) was the pen name of British writer <mask> ("Topsy") <mask>, whose novels focused on the social and psychological traumas of World War I, on large-family dynamics among young adult siblings, and on relationships among the young "liberated" middle-class intelligentsia of the Twenties. She was also known in the interwar period as a reviewer of contemporary fiction in British literary journals. Biography
<mask> (known as "Topsy" to her friends) was born on 15 April 1893 in London. She was the youngest of eight children of Major <mask> of the Royal Artillery and Mary Jane Ross. She was educated for a time in Paris, where she got to know historian <mask>, a college friend of her older sister Margaret – but unlike her sister, she did not go on to college. <mask>'s first book was a volume of poetry, Windows (1917). The following year, she edited an anthology of recent poetry, Songs for Sale, which one critic found to be generally unadventurous and too indebted to Britain's poet laureate, <mask>, although one of <mask>'s own poems was singled out as a happy exception.<mask>'s first novel, Quiet Interior, was published in 1920 and praised by such notable contemporary authors as Katherine Mansfield and Rebecca West. She went on to write a handful of other novels: The Singing Captives (1921), The Wedgwood Medallion (1923), Inigo Sandys (1924), Helen and Felicia (1927), and Morning and Cloud (1932). Although they were generally well received, they have fallen into obscurity in the years

texts: since. <mask>'s novels deal with World War I, its immediate aftermath, and its effects on Britain's educated classes, exploring relationships among the young in the changed wartime and post-war worlds. Quiet Interior is set during the War, the plot revolving around the relationship between two sisters, <mask> and Pauline Norris, and their romantic entanglement with a man named <mask>. The Singing Captives is set in 1920 and examines the War's destructive consequences for a well-to-do family. The Wedgwood Medallion moves on from the War, focusing on an engaged couple who discover their incompatibility, triggering events that draw in their families and friends.Inigo Sandys begins in Cambridge University after the War, where the eponymous protagonist struggles with the first of three doomed relationships. Several characters from Quiet Interior reappear in this novel. Helen and Felicia and Morning and Cloud examine love and marriage among the cultivated middle-class young in the later Twenties. All six novels, to some degree, are studies in compatibility and incompatibility – <mask>'s central theme. <mask> moved in Cambridge and London literary circles, associating with the Bloomsbury Group (Virginia Woolf admired "her spruce shining mind") and corresponding with writer Dorothy Richardson and others.

Quiet Interior (1920)

Set in middle-class Westminster, Bayswater and Berkshire, 1915–16.Jobs for young middle-class women are scarce, so <mask>, 21, works as unofficial secretary to her Member-of-Parliament father. Unselfishly and secretly, she loves gentle <mask>, a neighbour from the country, who regards her as a true, wise but over-cerebral friend. Her sardonic and whimsical confidante, Henrietta Lincoln, gives her D. H. Lawrence's poems and advises her, "Don't be too scrupulous, oh don't! It doesn't pay... You're his friend, and if you want him, for the Lord's sake take him!" Sensing <mask>'s lack of passion for her, <mask> rejects his tentative sexual advances that might have turned his feelings into love. She regrets her coldness the more because he is off to the Western Front: "She had seen him stand within her grasp, and had not reached out a hand." He is soon back, wounded and invalided out of the army.<mask> helps her younger sister Pauline, 19, escape the advances of the cynical Ivor Webb, only to find <mask> falling in love with Pauline. Though torn, <mask> unselfishly encourages <mask>: "Be as impulsive as you feel," she tells him. "Don't check yourself; above all don't be diffident.

 Oh, <mask>, diffidence is the devil!" Their older step-sister Hilary, 23, returns from a long stay in Russia, worldly and insensitive; she is struck by Pauline's beauty and immediately starts plotting a 'good' marriage for her. After various false starts Hilary learns that <mask> not only has money but is now also the beneficiary of the will of a comrade killed in action. She therefore targets him for Pauline, callously edging out <mask>, whom she despises.<mask>'s 'quiet interior', the novel's central focus, becomes a place of repressed pain and desolation. <mask> is now drawn to Henrietta's strong silent brother Lucien ('Lucy'), left lonely by the marriage of Henrietta to artist <mask>, soon returning to the Front with the Artists Rifles. Though she has lost <mask>, <mask> begins at last to fight back against horrible Hilary. Loss, the impact of the War on the younger generation, especially on young women (Henrietta receives news that her brother Russell has been killed), and the clash of generations in their outlook on the War, are central themes. Visiting <mask> in a war-hospital, <mask> reflects:

These men were, or had lately been, in pain; they had struggled in hell, and no stillness and peace, comfort and security, flowers or sunlight, could ever quite atone. She felt herself responsible – as is every inhabitant of every land at war – for their suffering and loss of limbs and health, their horrible memories and intolerable nightmares, and her responsibility combined with her immunity made her ashamed.

 Singing Captives (1921)
Set in upper middle-class Kensington and rural Derbyshire in 1920, the novel centres on the family of Sir Harold Peel ('Hal'), who appears stolid and sensible to his children but conceals from them his addiction to risk-taking on the stock-market.Lady Peel (Leila) appears silly and superficial to her children, concealing from them a core of wisdom born of Victorian thwarted love and marital compromise. The four children do not know their parents. <mask> ('Cabs'), 28, has closed in upon herself (apart from a Cathy-Heathcliff type relationship with her brother Roden) since her fiancé, Gerald Sexton, was killed in Mesopotamia in 1917. Detached, she observes life and her family critically and perceptively. Roden, 27, a war veteran, is in rebellion against his family, his class and its values. Stella, early 20s, is a spoilt, superficial flapper; Francis, 18, a carefree public schoolboy lined up for Cambridge. Roden shocks his family – but not <mask> – by going out with and bringing home a 'common' London working girl, Grace Draper.Grace, like Liza Doolittle, has a dignity and self-respect, despite her comic lower-middle gentility, and is immune to the snobbery of the Peels. At the height of the Peels' superiority, and to the children's horror, Hal's financial affairs crash, sending the family plunging economically into the lower middle class. No society marriage and roaring twenties now for Stella: no Cambridge for Francis... The novel comes to focus on <mask>, who, stricken by the War, learns to

 live and love again thanks to the example of Roden and Grace, to the confession of her mother Leila, who confides to her the story of her youthful suffering, and to the kindliness of her dead fiancé's brother, Hugh Sexton, who was gassed in the trenches. Hugh, however, finds <mask> still too lacking in vitality. "[She] was not steel to his tinder. To smite or to draw him into passion a woman would have to combine <mask>'s delicacy of touch and fineness of perception with courage, enthusiasm, and a bolder outlook."<mask> will have to change. Webster's "We think caged birds sing, when indeed they cry" is the novel's epigraph: the younger generation, apparently privileged but in reality trapped by the legacy of war and class, were singing captives. The novel ends with a note of liberation: Hal and Roden and Francis, like characters in <mask>, will now have to do some real work; Stella must marry where she may; <mask> too will have to find work, though trained up to nothing by her upbringing. The Wedgwood Medallion (1923)
Set in north Cornwall and Chelsea, 1922. Nicholas Watergate, 28, war veteran and son of a famous Victorian artist, is holidaying with his two brothers and a friend, Oliver, 24, near Tintagel, without women. Denis Ash, 25, has invited himself along, so he can keep an eye on Nicholas for <mask>id. (<mask>id is Denis's sister.Nicholas and <mask> married in haste when he was 21 and she 18.

 the young men meet a local family - all women - the Rendels: mother, Fia, and young daughters including cerebral Sophie, 22, and pre-Raphaelite Sheila ('Shelly'), 17. A few days later, Denis and Sophie, moved by the romantic setting, rashly get engaged. They are an "ill-assorted pair": Sophie intellectually honest, open, generous; Denis reserved, complacent, self-deceiving. Meanwhile, Oliver, a Cambridge Classics graduate, has fallen in love with Sophie:
Oliver looked at her and smiled; her hatred of sham pleased him exquisitely; he found that almost every time she spoke, it was to utter his thoughts in her own way. She likes him more and more and Denis less and less.The Watergate parents arrive in Cornwall, as does <mask>, a smug, hypocritical beauty, with a sporty young man in tow. Nicholas encounters Shelly alone by the sea at sunset and kisses her on impulse (as in A Room with a View). Shelly feels flattered; but the kiss was witnessed by father Watergate, who is outraged.

Set in Cambridge, London and Berkshire, 1919–23.At Cambridge, student Inigo Sandys, 19, longs for someone to call his own. He doesn't respond to undergraduate-friend <mask>'s advances (<mask> is gay) – he doesn't understand them – but, sexually ambivalent himself (<mask> told her friend George Rylands that Inigo was based on him), longs romantically for friendship with flaxen-haired Ny <mask> in the year above. <mask> drops Inigo, who is shocked, hurt and puzzled. In London a year after graduating, Inigo, 22, is in a love-tangle: his old school friend Roddy Hirst loves, unrequited, Lydia Laud, who loves, unreciprocated, Inigo, and who hates, reciprocated, her sister Jocelyn. Inigo has had little experience with women; he thinks he is in love with poised, suave, ruthless Jocelyn, 24, a sculptor. Despite Roddy's warning that Jocelyn has never loved anyone, Inigo marries her. Lydia, despairing, later accepts Roddy.After an apparently happy honeymoon, Jocelyn turns out to be unresponsive to Inigo – she's lesbian, as we learn towards the end of the novel. Inigo, still in love with Jocelyn, is miserable about his sexless marriage. "Restraint was laid on him like fetters. Every day was a fresh death for the daily new-born hope that this inexplicable change had been merely a mood".

 Eventually he gives up on her and goes abroad. A year later, back in England, he is drawn into the circle from Quiet Interior. <mask> (née Norris) and 'Lucy' (Lucien) Lincoln are now happily married; Lucy's sister and <mask>'s best friend, Henrietta, 28, is now a young widow, <mask> having been killed in action near the end of the War.Inigo is not attracted at first to Henrietta; he admires <mask>. He is gradually drawn to Henrietta, however, by his interest in <mask>'s paintings, and then by her qualities – courage, good sense, humour, sensitivity, intellectual honesty. (Henrietta, half French, is appalled by French havoc in the Ruhr, which is sowing the seeds of another European war.) She shows understanding and sympathy when Inigo tells her about <mask> and Jocelyn: "An immense relief came to him, as though he were thus made once more a member of a beloved community – exile at an end". Inigo grows to love Henrietta in a way that makes him feel he has never before loved anyone:
<mask> needed me, and I didn't know how to manage and respond; and so he was angry and wretched. It was stupid of me, and unkind... "It takes time to acquire the technique of kindness," Henrietta said. How well she puts things.His feelings are returned. But Henrietta is consumptive. Inigo goes to live with her, <mask>, Lucien in the country. He meets Jocelyn again and finds he is indifferent to the woman he had once loved "in compulsion and blindness, in rapture and pain". Inigo and Henrietta are quietly happy in their last months together,

Set in the Home Counties, London and Wiltshire in the mid-1920s. Slim tall fair-haired Felicia <mask>, 15, is second-youngest in a family of eight children – or rather two families with one father. The house in the country is full of tensions, so Felicia escapes through dreams and long walks. Her favourite sister (only true sister) is the clever, analytical Helen, 18, who is off soon to Newnham, Cambridge. Felicia depends for happiness on Helen's presence and misses her badly when she's away; Helen loves Felicia and sometimes forgets, in their chats, that she's only 15. Helen was a hit at Miss Ffoliot's boarding-school for girls, and now it's Felicia's turn to be sent there. Felicia hates school: Miss Ffoliot is paranoid about over-close relationships between the girls.She does make one friend, bohemian <mask>, and in the holidays in London meets <mask>'s brother James. Helen meanwhile learns that their step-sister Anne, 26, married to a perfectly nice compatible academic, is restless in her marriage (for the first time in <mask>, perfect compatibility, a theme of earlier novels, is not enough). This shakes all Helen's beliefs: whom, then, should one marry? What's the point of going to Cambridge and finding suitable male-friends? Their step-brother <mask>t, 30, meanwhile, has become

When Felicia, now 17, visits them in their big country house in Wiltshire, <mask> notices her grace and her love of riding and the country. At 18 Felicia leaves boarding-school early and joins a dance-school in London where James Sholto is the only male student. In London she attracts the attention of predatory men and is rescued by James. One day, now 19, she is off to visit the Sholtos, when a long sleek powerful motor car passes by in the street. On impulse she takes a train to the country to visit Helen and <mask>, back from their holidays, but finds only <mask> at home (Helen has stayed on with friends). He hosts her with perfect gentlemanly tact and hospitality; indeed he is so wonderful (a sort English Dick Diver) she feels uncomfortable and feels she must leave.Later she confesses to Helen, now 22, that she finds <mask> very attractive.

 is also in love with Felicia, though <mask> and Helen are happy with and sure of one another. "It's not natural to be chaste," thinks Helen. "She ought to have love affairs; she's nineteen and a half." Wanting Felicia to live with them and not feel uncomfortable, she lets Felicia know that "nothing could ever come between us" (the two sisters) and that "we must take what pleasure we can". She generously absents herself, and in the interval, in a passage of great beauty and delicate symbolism (the setting is summer), <mask> takes Felicia's virginity. The novel ends with the two sisters and <mask> in a blissful ménage-à-trois.Morning and Cloud (1932)
Set in London and the West Riding of Yorkshire, 1930. Returning from work, <mask> <mask> (ex-Harrow and Cambridge) contemplates his wife's light, spacious, tastefully-decorated house in Hampstead. He had married tall rich cool <mask>, now 28, after a brief holiday romance four years earlier. They have two little boys. Theirs is a marriage of non-communication: <mask> avoids talk of feelings. When she and her brother Johnnie were small, their mother Gertrude had walked out and remarried; now, newly widowed, Gertrude returns. In tow she has a niece of her second husband, small crop-headed Anthea Ridley, 22.(Anthea was orphaned early and grew up with cousins in a vicarage in the Yorkshire dales. She studied at the Slade and is now an artist; but she is poor, has no studio and is dependent on infrequent hand-outs from mean Aunt Gertrude, who has purloined her inheritance.)

The rush of her attraction to him would undoubtedly have carried her eager and unreflecting over the bar of her virginity, had Johnnie not been restrained by fealty to a code which she did not recognise...

She is puzzled, however, by <mask>, wondering how a person who appears to be so uninteresting can "produce in her surroundings an effect so satisfying: it was strange that dullness and evasion should translate themselves into order, serenity and formal beauty".

She and <mask> are now lovers. He tells <mask> he is in love with Anthea; <mask> has been expecting the news and receives it in silent distress. <mask> is wrong-footed by her refusal to talk."When we plan to inflict pain, we know not what we do; and when, coming to the very act, a partial knowledge is forced upon us, it is sometimes the aggressor who is stunned." Her strategy is to give him time to get over his passion. Anthea had expected <mask> to leave <mask>; she has over-estimated <mask>'s love for her. Under the strain of uncertainty, isolation and poverty – she has not yet received her first salary – she falls ill in her garret. <mask>, socially busy as ever, is slow to visit her.

<mask>'s novels were, for the most part, experimental and modernist by virtue of their attitudes and subject-matter rather than their narrative technique or form. She generally used chronological, 'slanted' third-person narration, without intrusive authorial voice, and naturalistic settings. There are, however – the one exception – some stream-of-consciousness passages in Inigo Sandys, using the second person. "Inigo Sandys is refined to the

 point of attenuation," remarked Isabel Paterson, "subtle, but quite un-complex; a subtlety achieved  by the most drastic eliminations." "The whole thing is well done," wrote Forrest Reid of this novel, "but the Cambridge scenes are particularly happy. Here the story is presented almost entirely by suggestion – a word, a picture – just what is sufficient to set us in possession of the strange little drama that preludes so oddly the larger drama of the world outside." The novels are notable for their portrayal of the dynamics of large families with grown-up siblings, for their subtle presentation of (often failing) love-relationships among the cultivated middle class, for their frank 'Cambridge-salon' type dialogue, and for their sensitive evocations of English settings."She has a beautiful visual gift," wrote Rebecca West in the New Statesman, "and a sense of character that can be brilliant or touching." Katherine Mansfield, reviewing <mask> in the Athenaeum, admired her "distinction of style". <mask>'s gifts, among them her wit, were sometimes likened to those of Jane Austen, but <mask> considered Austen narrow and was lukewarm about the comparison. The Cambridge Review found in The Wedgwood Medallion "all the qualities which an earlier generation associates with <mask>". Her friend <mask> thought her last novel, Morning and Cloud, her finest. Its first print-run, in January 1932, quickly sold out; a second impression was published in the following month. Notes

<mask> was an American sculptor born Ogdensburg, New York, on November 26, 1869, into a prominent local family. Early life

Born in Ogdensburg, New York November 26, 1869, Sarah “<mask><mask> raised in a wealthy household surrounded by military and political figures. Her paternal grandfather, <mask>, served as a Congressman from 1877 to 1881, and her father, Colonel Edward C<mask>, was a Civil War veteran and a noted trial lawyer in New York City. When <mask> was 10 years old her mother died. Soon after she traveled the world with her father, who often encouraged her to do various activities that were atypical for young women in the period, such as hunting and horsemanship. Her familiarity with these activities later proved useful in her sculpting career. Education and influences
Her art education began when she was exposed to art as a child while touring the museums of Europe with her family.Their travels would acquaint her with western culture in countries such as France, Norway, and Scotland, as well as with eastern traditions in Japan. At this time she had not discovered her artistic creativity outside of childish drawings and paper-cutout silhouettes. Though she didn't realize it, her exposure to culture made her sensitive toward the artistic sensibilities she would develop in the future. As she later recalled, those days "were loaded with opportunities to study, to absorb unconsciously the great things in line and form of every nation. In fact this was my real schooling. I was heading for sculpture then, though I didn't know it." In

 1896 she married George Paulding <mask>, a designer at Tiffany & Co. with whom she had three children.Throughout her life,she maintained an energetic social life (which included Hollywood friends like Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford) on top of her domestic duties. She began modeling in 1901 while confined to a hospital bed, having been given plasticine clay to amuse herself with. The finished piece, “Spanish Dancer,” was the spark in igniting her passion for sculpture. She later described the experience: “It was as if in some mysterious previous state of existence I had actually been a sculptor and the memory of it was beginning to leak back into my fingers and thumbs.” A family friend, Frederic Remington — who called one of <mask>'s early works "ugly as sin" yet "full of ginger”—advised her to continue applying herself to the study of sculpture, which she did with the aid of several well-known sculptors, Henry Merwin Shrady, Augustus Lukeman and Frederick Roth. Her husband was her main supporter and influence at the start of her sculpting education. But <mask>'s success as a sculptor would slowly chip away at their marriage. In 1914 she and Paulding were divorced, leaving <mask> as the sole provider for her children.Career in sculpture

The ensuing years saw <mask> produce a series of United States Civil War and cemetery monuments in New York and New Jersey . She received many small grants and commissions that would build her reputation as a sculptor over a very short period of time. In 1904 she won a commission to construct Spirit of

 Liberty, which she made in honor of her father and the men who gave their lives in the Civil War. By 1907, she was regarded as “one of the leading female sculptors working on a heroic scale in America”

In 1910, she was commissioned to create a frieze for the Pan American Union building in Washington D.C. This work, called the Frieze of Discoverers, contributed to her winning a commission from the government of Venezuela to execute the equestrian Simon Bolivar (1921). Originally cast in duplicate, one copy stands at the head of the Avenue of the Americas in New York City. Despite the complications of her divorce two years earlier, in 1916, <mask> competed against twenty other sculptors to win this highly prized commission.At the time it was both the largest monument sculpted by a woman and the only equestrian monument of a man created by a female artist. It took five years to complete and earned her the Order of Bolivar (the greatest civilian honor given by the Venezuelan government). In the following decade Farnham produced a multitude of public monuments and memorials, as well as critically acclaimed portraits of influential individuals including the President of the United States Warren G. Harding, Herbert Hoover, Theodore Roosevelt and Marshal Ferdinand Foch (commander of the Allied Powers in WWI). Her work in portraiture soon became highly sought after and was defined by a highly developed naturalistic style that captured the essence of the subject in a visually masculine and positive manner. Farnham also sculpted busts of notable

 figures, including violinist Jascha Heifetz and silent film star Mary Pickford, and continued to create sculpture into her seventies. Her next important monument, Like Hell You Can! (1927) embodied her optimistic spirit in the form of a soldier standing tall, in confrontation with the unknown.In 1929, she entered into a contract with R.H. Macy and Co. (along with McMein and Fontanne) to create a line of shoes for women. Of all the monuments she created, <mask> regarded Pay Day (1930) as her best work. The sculpture of four cowboys on horseback, flailing their lassos and kicking up dirt was made in honor of her mentor Frederic Remington, who was a known sculptor of western themes. The energy of the composition contains qualities which she most enjoyed in sculptures and once again displays the optimism with which she led her life. She was particularly drawn to sculptures “that are full of force, feeling and emotional expression.” For her it was important “to believe the whole heart and soul of the artist is in his work. When he can make others believe that, he is a great artist.”

<mask> died in New York City on April 28, 1943. She is buried in the All Saint's Episcopal Church Cemetery in Great Neck, New York.Her tombstone is inscribed, “A merry heart goes all the day,” a reflection of her unyielding optimism. Major public works

According to the United States Census of 1940, seventeen-year-old <mask> was still living that year with her parents in Salt Lake City, along with her two sisters, Lorraine and Virginia. The 1940 census further documents that her father was at that time a salesman of rock-wool insulation. In Salt Lake City, <mask> also attended the University of Utah, where she distinguished herself as a gifted violinist, earning a position as "concert mistress" in the university's symphony orchestra.After the attack on Pearl Harbor, she joined the WAVES, the women's branch of the United States Naval Reserve. She served stateside at WAVE "shore stations" working primarily as a jeep driver in and around Chicago and then San Francisco. Career
Following the war, <mask> moved to Hollywood, where by the late 1940s she began finding steady employment as an actor. In 1948 she performed in an uncredited role as a Swedish immigrant girl in the film Up in Central Park. The bulk of her work, however, in this early stage of her career was as a voice-actor on radio.

Lady  <mask>  (commonly known as <mask>; 1857 – 22 December 1943) was a Scottish social activist who actively campaigned for Women's Suffrage in both the United Kingdom and South Africa. She was the first woman to stand in an election for the Edinburgh Town Council, when she ran in the 1907 election. <mask> moved to South Africa in 1911 and at the beginning of World War I founded an organization to provide aid to South African soldiers and their families. She was honored as an Officer in the Order of the British Empire for her civil service. In addition, she served as president of the Women's Enfranchisement Association of the Union from 1916 until 1930, fighting for women's right to vote in South Africa. Early life
<mask> was born in 1857 in St John's Town of Dalry, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland to Jane S. and Rev. Alexander A. Paterson.Her father was a United Presbyterian minister and her oldest brother James Alexander later became a Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament Exegesis at New College, Edinburgh. She was raised and attended school in Dalry until the 1880s, when she moved with her brother, James, to Newington, Edinburgh, where she continued her education. On 4 August 1883, Paterson married <mask>, a builder and property developer in Edinburgh. They made their home at 32 Colinton Road, Edinburgh, from the time of their marriage until James' death on 4 September 1904. Activism
James was elected to local politics beginning in 1872, serving as the Liberal Councillor for the George Square Ward. From 1888 he served as Bailie and became Lord Provost of Edinburgh in 1900, serving until his retirement in 1903. From May 1903, when her husband was raised to the baronetcy of Murieston, Mid-Calder, <mask> became known as <mask>.James was a property developer and built hundreds of buildings throughout the city. <mask> was involved, like many women of her class, in social improvement projects. She encouraged James to build sanitary flats with indoor plumbing and potable water for the poor and working classes. Many of these apartments, located throughout the city in

Between 1904 and 1906, she served on the executive committee of the Scottish Women's Liberal Federation (SWLF), a women's branch of the Scottish Liberal Party. She also served on the Local Government and Women's Franchise committees of the SWLF and was a member of the Edinburgh National Society of Woman Suffrage.Lady <mask> made international headlines from England to Australia and the United States in March 1907, when she refused to pay taxes without being allowed to vote. Her furniture was seized and sold to pay her tax bill. The same month, she led a protest at the Mercat Cross to demand women's suffrage. Later that same year, in October, she ran in the first town council meeting in which women were allowed to contest. On the eve of the election, a poem "The Suffragette's Nut Cracked" showing the conflict over votes for women and <mask>'s candidacy was published in the Edinburgh Evening Dispatch. Though she did not win a seat in the November election, because of her militant stance on taxation,  she is remembered as "the first woman to stand for election to Edinburgh Town Council". In 1908 and again in 1909, Lady <mask> continued her stance of refusing to pay taxes.By 1908, she was a member and one of the speakers for the Women's Social and Political Union's Edinburgh branch and participated in a discussion held at Bridge of Allan with Elizabeth Wolstenholme Elmy, Chrystal Macmillan and Jessie Methven about women's suffrage and higher education for women. In June 1908, she attended the Fourth Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance held in Amsterdam, as one of the alternate delegates. On 9 October 1909, she participated in the Great Procession and Women's Demonstration held in Edinburgh in support of women's enfranchisement. In March 1911, <mask> married Lt. Col. James Hyslop, D.S.O., and moved with him to his home in Pietermaritzburg, in the newly formed Union of

 South Africa. Hyslop was a fellow Scotsman from Kirkcudbrightshire, who had moved to the Colony of Natal in 1881 and worked there as a pioneer in mental health and as a military physician. At the onset of World War I, he became the director of medical services in the South African Medical Corps. <mask> served as the founder and chair of the Women's Patriotic League of Natal Province during the war.The organization served to support South African troops and provide necessary services for their families, such as medical supplies and clothing, to prevent over-taxing British organizations providing service in Europe. In 1918, she was honored as an Officer in the Order of the British Empire for her service. In 1916, she became the second president of the Women's Enfranchisement Association of the Union (WEAU), replacing Mary Emma Macintosh, who had recently died. The WEAU initially was formed on the advice on Carrie Chapman Catt in 1911 as an alternative to the Women's Enfranchisement League (WEL). The WEL had been divided by factionalism over the subject of race and Catt believed that the issue of race would delay granting women's suffrage. On her advice, the WEAU decided to ignore the issue of universal suffrage for all races, actively working only for the vote of white women. <mask> held the post of president from 1916 to 1930, when white women in South Africa finally secured enfranchisement.Death and legacy
Lady <mask> died on 22 December 1943 at Pietermaritzburg and was buried at Stellawood Cemetery, in Durban, South Africa. In 2009, her role in the Scottish suffrage movement was celebrated along with other activists in the reenactment "Gude Cause" of the 1909 demonstration of Edinburgh. References

The first series concentrated on commercially farmed animals such as chickens, pigs, sheep and cattle.The second series featured hunted wild game such as ducks, rabbits, deer and grouse. The third series focused on fast food; a group of six people went through the process of killing, cooking and eating animals. The fourth series focused on how animal products from the first series are used outside of the meat trade. <mask> was joined by young consumers to uncover the animal origins of many of western society's favourite things as body parts were transformed from abattoir to shop display. From 2 March 2009, <mask> temporarily stepped down from BBC One's Watchdog following allegations in the press concerning irregularities in her Virgin Atlantic frequent flyer account. Anita Rani stepped in to co-present the show with Nicky Campbell. On 15 April 2009, <mask> was cleared of any wrongdoing in the investigation, and it was confirmed that she would return to present Watchdog, which she did on 20 April 2009.It was incorrectly reported in several newspapers at the time that <mask> had to repay £20,000 worth of Air Miles – in fact her account (and several others) had been tampered with by an employee who was later arrested and charged.

The census returns for <mask> show him as being born c. 1863 in Hackney, London but his Who's Who entry shows his year of birth as 1867. Very little appears to be known about his early life. He trained at the South Kensington School of Art and than at the Antwerp Academy under Charles Verlat and Polydore Beaufaux.It is not clear when he travelled to Belgium or returned to England. The only child of the marriage, a son, Water was born c. 1890 in Belgium, as was his wife Jeanne (born c. 1871). The 1911 census return shows them as having been married for 25 year, which would give the date of the marriage as 1885, when Jeanne was 14. <mask> exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1888 and 1889 with his address in Park Cottage, Lee Road, Blackheath, London. However, his son was born in Belgium in c. 1890 and he was in Antwerp in 1891. <mask> was in England in 1894 when he gave evidence in the 'Pick-me-up indecency case in July. In this case the police seized copies of the illustrated paper from stationers Smith and Son in Liverpool on the grounds that the juxtaposition of two illustrations in the magazine produced an indecent image.<mask> was one of the illustrators involved and he gave evidence against the suggestion of indecency.

The census showed also that the couple had had only one child, Walter, now aged 21 and working as a "motor-car agent", i.e. a car salesman. His "Who Was Who" address was 47 Blenheim Crescent, and he died at his home on 13 July 1930.Works
Bryant describes him as a painter, illustrator and joke cartoonist. Johnson and Greutzner describe him as a genre painter. Benezit and Micklethwait list him as a genre painter and illustrator of books, magazines and newspapers, and state that he was particularly known for his pictures of pretty women. <mask> also illustrated postcards, at least on World War One topics. <mask> also engaged in commercial art, producing illustrations, together with others, for two promotional publications by the Great Eastern Railway Company. The first of these was East Coast Pictures by Percy Lindley, intended to encourage people to visit the seaside resorts on the East Coast. The second was To the Continent, intended to promote travel to the Continent via Harwich.A special feature of this publication was the large number of colour illustrations from drawings by <mask>, "showing better than any description could do the luxuries of the Harwich steamboat service." <mask> was a frequent exhibitor and exhibited as follows:

The "Gazette" went on state that the scene was "full of life and character, and the various groups of flower-girls and of Antwerp civilians are cleverly introduced and painted; the figures have all been carefully studied from life, and represent all types from the well-to-do citizen to the peasant," and that in all respects it was "an admirable example of the artist's work." Three works at the Royal Academy. In 1888 the Liverpool Mercury listed his L'Amateur d' Estampes as another "good pictures among the oils." 13 works at the Royal Society of British Artists.At the Winter Exhibition of the society in 1891, <mask> exhibited La Modiste, which the Acton Gazette described as a "luminous little bit".

The Yorkshire Post considered that the painting was "admirable in tone, and full of sound workmanship, while if the figure introduced some respects rather jarring note, it gives a humorous turn to the spectator's thoughts by reason of the contrast it affords." In 1897 <mask> exhibited at the Black and White gallery, where his work was described as "Brilliant, somewhat French in influence, and entirely modern in feeling" His pieceOutside the Empire was described as a "clever and characteristic example of this artist's skill in depicting the modern woman as he sees her."<mask> was one of the initial members of the Society of Painters in Miniature (led by Alyn Williams) in 1896, the year of its founding.

<mask>,  (born 5 April 1942) is a Welsh film director, screenwriter, and artist. His films are noted for the distinct influence of Renaissance and Baroque painting, and Flemish painting in particular. Common traits in his films are the scenic composition and illumination and the contrasts of costume and nudity, nature and architecture, furniture and people, sexual pleasure and painful death. Early life
<mask> was born in Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales, to a teacher mother and a builder's merchant father. <mask>'s family left South Wales when he was three years old (they had moved there originally to avoid the Blitz) and settled in Chingford, Essex. He attended Forest School in nearby Walthamstow. At an early age <mask> decided on becoming a painter.He became interested in European cinema, focusing first on the films of Ingmar Bergman, and then on the French nouvelle vague filmmakers such as Jean-Luc Godard and, most especially, Alain Resnais. <mask> has said that that Resnais's Last Year in Marienbad (1961) had been the most important influence upon his own filmmaking (and he himself established a close working relationship with that film's cinematographer Sacha Vierny). He now lives in Amsterdam. Career

1962–1999

In 1962, <mask> began studies at Walthamstow College of Art, where a fellow student was musician Ian Dury (later cast in The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover). <mask> trained as a muralist for three years; he made his first film, Death of Sentiment, a churchyard furniture essay filmed in four large London cemeteries. In 1965, he joined the Central Office of Information (COI), working there fifteen years as a film editor and director. In that time he created a filmography of experimental films, starting with  Train (1966), footage of the last steam trains at Waterloo station (situated behind the COI), edited to a musique concrète composition.Tree (1966), is a homage to the embattled

The former is an examination of various arithmetical editing structures, and the latter is a journey through the maps of a fictitious country. In 1980, <mask> delivered The Falls (his first feature-length film) – a mammoth, fantastical, absurdist encyclopaedia of flight-associated material all relating to ninety-two victims of what is referred to as the Violent Unknown Event (VUE). In the 1980s, <mask>'s cinema flowered in his best-known films, The Draughtsman's Contract (1982), A Zed & Two Noughts (1985), The Belly of an Architect (1987), Drowning by Numbers (1988), and his most successful (and controversial) film, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989). <mask>'s most familiar musical collaborator during this period is composer Michael Nyman, who has scored several films. In 1989, he collaborated with artist Tom Phillips on a television serial A TV Dante, dramatising the first few cantos of Dante's Inferno. In the 1990s, he presented Prospero's Books (1991), the controversial The Baby of Mâcon (1993), The Pillow Book (1996), and 8½ Women (1999).In the early 1990s, <mask> wrote ten opera libretti known as the Death of a Composer series, dealing with the commonalities of the deaths of ten composers from Anton Webern to John Lennon, however, the other composers are fictitious, and one is a character from  The Falls.

This was later reprised at the Optronica festival, London. On 12 October 2007, he created the multimedia installation Peopling the Palaces at Venaria Reale at the Royal Palace of Venaria that animates the Palace with 100 videoprojectors. <mask> was interviewed for Clive Meyer's Critical Cinema: Beyond the Theory of Practice (2011), and voiced strong criticisms of film theory as distinct from discussions of other media: "Are you sufficiently happy with cinema as a thinking medium if you are only talking to one person?"

These images are projected onto and around the replica of the painting that now stands at the original site, within the Palladian architecture of the Benedictine refectory on San Giorgio Maggiore. The soundtrack features music and imagined dialogue scripted by <mask> for the 126 "wedding guests, servants, onlookers and wedding crashers" depicted in the painting, consisting of small talk and banal chatter that culminates in reaction to the miraculous transformation of water to wine, according to the Gospels the first miracle performed by Jesus. Picasso's Guernica, Seurat's Grande Jatte, works by Jackson Pollock and Claude Monet, Velázquez's Las Meninas and Michelangelo's The Last Judgment are possible series subjects.Stairs 1 Geneva (1995)
