title: Pietà (Gregorio Fernández)

text:
The Pietà or Sexta Angustia (1616 - 1619) is a work of Baroque sculpture by Gregorio Fernández, housed in the National Museum of Sculpture in Valladolid, Spain. The statue was commissioned by the Illustrious Penitential Brotherhood of Our Lady of Anguish. It is one of the best known of the five sculptures of the same theme by the artist.

The sculpture shows the Virgin Mary holding up one hand with Christ's body slumped lifeless to the floor, by her feet. It was part of a "paso" which paraded in religious processions during Holly Week, together with the sculptures of the good thief and the impenitent thief, and Saint John and the Virgin Mary.

title: William A. Guerry

text:
William Alexander Guerry (July 7, 1861 – June 9, 1928) was an American prelate who served as the eighth Bishop of South Carolina.

Early life and education
Guerry was born on July 7, 1861, in Clarendon County, South Carolina, the son of the Reverend LeGrand Felder Guerry and Margaret Serena Brailsford. He studied at Sewanee: The University of the South where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in 1884, his Master of Arts in 1884, and his Bachelor of Divinity in 1891.

Ordained ministry
Guerry was ordained deacon on September 23, 1888, and priest on December 22, 1889, by Bishop Ellison Capers. In 1888, he was appointed rector of St John's Church in Florence, South Carolina, while in 1893 became chaplain of the University of the South, where he was also professor of homiletic and pastoral theology at the School of Theology. He was also involved in the construction of All Saints' Chapel in the university campus.

Bishop
In 1907, Guerry was elected Coadjutor Bishop of South Carolina, and was consecrated on September 15, 1907, by Presiding Bishop Daniel S. Tuttle. He then became the eighth diocesan bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina on April 22, 1908. Guerry was made a Mason at Sight and was a member of Landmark Lodge No 76, A.F.M. During his episcopacy, he worked to gain racial equality in the diocese.

Murder
On June 5, 1928, Guerry was shot in his office in St Philip's Church, Charleston, South Carolina, by J. H. Woodward, a retired priest who had attacked his position on advancing racial equality in South Carolina. Great opposition was also elicited by the bishop's proposal to have a black suffragan bishop. Woodward committed suicide after shooting Guerry, who died four days later in Roper Hospital.

title: Matías Barrio y Mier

text:
Matías Barrio y Mier (1844–1909) was a Spanish law academic and a Carlist politician. He served as a scholar of jurisprudence at various universities, though mostly in Oviedo (1881-1892) and Madrid (1892-1909), and authored manuals used by students until the 1930s. He is best known, however, as the Carlist political leader (1899-1909). As a Traditionalist he served 9 terms in the Cortes, initially during the rule of Amadeo I (1871-1872) and then during the Restoration period (1891-1903, 1905-1909).

Family and youth

Matías Barrio y Mier was born in a mountainous village of Verdeña (Province of Palencia). His paternal grandparents, Manuel Barrio and Teresa Vielba, were local hidalgos. His maternal grandparents, Simon Morante and Tomasa de Mier, belonged to petty nobility from the nearby San Juan de Redondo. His father José Barrio Vielba married Dolores de Mier y Terán; the couple had no children. Following her premature death, in 1836 Barrio Vielba married the niece of his defunct wife, Susana de Mier. The couple had 4 children, Matías coming third and the only son. At the age of 8 he moved to Toledo, where his maternal uncle served at the prestigious post of the Cathedral dean; he looked after Matías when the latter attended Latinidad y Humanidades course at the local Instituto Provincial de Segunda Enseñanza (periodically also private colleges in Madrid), until the young Barrio became Bachelor of Arts in 1859 (cum laude).  As a teenager Matías intended to join the military, but dissuaded by his father, he eventually agreed to pursue a career in law.

In 1859 Barrio moved to Valladolid, where he studied Filosofia y Letras and Derecho Administrativo simultaneously. He completed the law studies first, obtaining bachillerato in 1863 and graduating (cum laude) the year after. In 1865 he started doctoral research in Derecho Civil y Canónico at Central in Madrid; his PhD title was awarded in 1866. He pursued his Philosophy and Letters studies to obtain bachillerato (from Valladolid) 1867, graduating (from Central) in 1868 and reaching for PhD laurels in 1872, still at Central. He followed a number of other classes, getting certified as archivist and librarian from Escuela Especial de Diplomática; he also studied theology in Madrid and Vitoria, though sources differ as to the grade he reached. Barrio completed also some courses abroad; at the Paris École des Hautes Études he studied sanscrit, perfected in Madrid in the late 1870s. When the Spanish revolution of 1868 broke out Barrio was already a formidable prospective scholar, with one PhD, four licenciaturas and six carreras completed.

In 1871 Matías Barrio married an Asturiana from Llanes, Maximina Marcos Sánchez. Nothing is known about her or her family, except that it was "one of the most distinguished ones" in the city and that she outlived her husband at least by 14 years. The couple had 4 children, José, Carlos, Jaime and Blanca; the family moved across Spain, following the professional lot of Barrio and his subsequent academic assignments. The oldest son, José Barrio Marcos, died as a student in 1900, Blanca perished at 26 years of age in 1910. Carlos grew to head of fiscal administration in Valladolid in the mid-1930s; he was dismissed by the Francoist administration in late 1936; the dismissal was related to the decree which envisioned release from state service officials who demonstrated antipatriotic behavior. There is nothing known about one more son, Jaime; there is neither any information available on any of Barrio's grandchildren.

Academic
Matías Barrio commenced his teaching career as an interim assistant professor in Valladolid in 1864-65, the following year nominated assistant professor in Comparative Law at Facultad de Derecho at Central in Madrid. As in 1869 he completed the required 25 years of age, following an unsuccessful bid for the chair of Derecho Romano at Central, he applied and won the chair of Derecho Político y Administrativo español and Derecho Político de los principales Estados at Universidad Literaria in Vitoria, a local Álavese institution managed by its self-government. In 1873 the local ayuntamiento fired Barrio for his refusal to join Batallón de Voluntarios de la República; one year later, in full swing of the Third Carlist War, the governmental order released him from the chair of Geografia Historica at Universidad de Zaragoza.

Expulsed to France he returned to Spain to the Carlist-held territory, where at the university of Oñate he became dean of the Jurisprudence Faculty, working also as catedratico and a librarian. Following the Carlist defeat he migrated to France but returned thanks to the 1877 amnesty, unsuccessfully requesting re-installment at his Zaragoza post. In 1880 he was nominated (beating 9 counter-candidates) catedratico numerario at Universidad de Valencia and commenced teaching Prolegómenos de Derecho e Historia and Elementos de Derecho Romano. Following a brief spell in Zaragoza (teaching Historia Universal) he had his rights fully reinstated and acknowledged by the ministry in 1881.

In 1881 Barrio commenced his 11-year-spell at Universidad de Oviedo, where he initially assumed Historia y elementos de Derecho civil español, in 1883 elected dean of the Faculty of Law and 1884 starting lectures in Derecho civil español, común y foral. He is remembered for having reformed the library of the Law Faculty, granting access to the public. In 1892 Barrio left Asturias for Madrid, as he won the competition to chair Derecho civil español, común y foral at Universidad Central; in 1902 he assumed Derecho común de España comparado con el foral there. Elected unanimously dean of the Faculty of Law in 1905.

His fundamental work is the monumental Historia general del derecho español, which served as a textbook for generations of students of law in Spain and in Latin America, re-issued with some modifications even 30 years later, see Apuntes de historia general del derecho español, issued by Universidad Central in 1929. In Palencia he is recorded as an author of a small booklet named Tradiciones pernianas, published in 1871; a late version of earlier Romantic books on folk culture, it described Palencian customs and gathered together local tales. Another work, never published and left as manuscript, is Territorio Perniano, dated 1878 and gathering data on localities in the regions of Liebana and La Pernía.

Public servant
During his university years of early 1860s Barrio was active in the Ateneo of Valladolid, later animating also the local Juventud Catolica. Initially holding petty positions in the local fiscal structures he declined a career offer and dedicated himself to law. In 1869 he entered Colegio de Abogados in Madrid, followed by joining similar bodies in Vitoria (1869) and in Valladolid (1878). He practiced as an attorney for the poor in Madrid, opening law offices in Palencia and Cervera de Pisuerga. As a lawyer and academic he gained great prestige for competence and impartiality, and was often nominated as referee in many oposiciones de cátedras across the country. He is noted for his stance during the competition for Cátedra de Lógica, Etica y Derecho at Instituto de Enseñanza Media in Toledo; facing a choice between two contenders, a Traditionalist Catholic priest and the future socialist leader Julián Besteiro, Barrio voted for the latter.

Some sources claim that he unsuccessfully ran for the Cortes in 1869 from Cervera. Most studies start by noting that he commenced his parliamentary career elected from Cervera as a Carlist candidate in 1871, though the mandate did not last long. Following 20 years dedicated to academic career, in 1891 Barrio resumed his parliamentarian duties as a deputy of his native Cervera de Pisuerga. From this moment onwards he was elected almost continuously 8 times from 1891 to 1907, the only exception having been 1903, when he lost to a local conservative candidate.

As a deputy he is recorded for calm logic rather than hyperbolic rhetoric; he is not noted as an impressive speaker, though remembered as a respectful, non-aggressive and conciliatory MP, even towards the Republican deputies. During 15 years of service his interventions ranged from local Palentine issues (road construction and maintenance, subsidies to local institutions, relief for victims of natural disasters, pension rights, railway lines, also defense of peasants accused of rural property crimes)  to national and international matters. As an expert in law, he chaired the Comisión de Codificación and was counselor to Ministry of Education.  As a Carlist deputy he spoke in defense of the Church and is noted for condoning atrocities committed by the Catholic missionaries in the Spanish Guinea Equatorial. In June 1898 as leader of Carlist minority he abstained from giving advice when the prime minister Sagasta consulted the parties on continuation or termination of the war with the United States, though 3 months later he voiced against accepting the Washington Protocol and along few deputies signed a manifesto to the nation, denouncing the treaty.

Carlist

It was his parents, both fundamentally Carlist, who passed their intransigent Traditionalist outlook to Matías Barrio. In 1867-1869 he was an editor and contributor to the local Carlist periodical La Cruzada. It is possible that due to his political stance he faced some harassment as a fiscal official and as a candidate to the Cortes; it is confirmed that politics cost him academic positions in Vitoria and especially in Zaragoza in 1874 during the Third Carlist War, when he was detained and expulsed from the country. He joined the insurgency soon afterwards, though it is not clear whether he served with the combat troops before nomination to Corregidor del señorio de Vizcaya by Carlos VII. At this role, together with his position at the Orduña university, Barrio became the heart and soul of the judicial and cultural organisation in the insurgent Carlist state, though the actual Minister of Justice was Romualdo de Viñaret.

Little is known about Barrio's Carlist activity in the 1880s, though he was probably busy rebuilding the Traditionalist network in León. His position in the organization grew once he became a deputy and started speaking in defense of the Carlist cause in the Cortes. With the number of Carlist deputies ranging from 5 to 10, Barrio, along Cesáreo Sanz Escartín, gradually became the most experienced MP and in the late 1890s assumed the post of the Carlist Cortes minority speaker (though the parliamentarian leadership was reserved for the senator, marqués de Cerralbo); by the same time he emerged as the regional Leonese leader and the representative of León in the nationwide structures. He also became one of the movement's pundits, regularly publishing in the semi-official Carlist daily, El Correo Español. In case the Jefe Delegado, marqués de Cerralbo, was out of the country, it was usually Matías Barrio replacing him.

Jefe Delegado

When de Cerralbo resigned as Jefe Delegado in 1899 there were many personalities counting as his potential successors, including Juan Vázquez de Mella, Tirso de Olazábal, conde de Melgar, Romualdo Cesáreo Sanz Escartin, marqués de Valde-Espina, Joaquín Lloréns or Manuel Polo y Peyrolón. Despite Olazábal having been rumored to get the post, Carlos VII opted for Matías Barrio. As at that time the conservative and liberal press was widely speculating about another Carlist war approaching, the appointment of a “notorious legalist” and “conciliator” Barrio might have been interpreted as calming the waters, though actual intentions of the claimant remain rather unclear.

Barrio did not manage to prevent isolated and probably spontaneous outbursts of Carlist insurgency, especially the 1900 Badalona uprising dubbed "La Octubrada". As unlike many Carlist personalities Barrio was spared the resulting governmental repressive action, his primary task turned out to be reconstruction of the party, suffering from closures of circulos, suspension of periodicals and exile of its leaders. The reopening of circulos produced their visible reformatting, with increased female presence and more focus on youth, including sport (especially football). The resumption of press activities produced a conflict with de Mella, already averse towards Barrio, as the claimant ordered his Jefe Delegado to purge El Correo Español of the Mellista influence.

In the early 20th century Matías Barrio was already suffering from leukemia, which was gradually taking its toll. In 1903 the claimant intended to relieve him of some duties by forming Junta Central with Barrio as president, but the body seemed inept and was dissolved after half a year. During the last years of his activity Barrio kept focusing on building a strong parliamentary minority. Except Navarre, where thanks to Barrio's conciliatory strategy towards Integristas the Traditionalists gained almost a monopoly in political representation, in other regions of Spain these efforts remained rather fruitless. Ready to take the blame Barrio submitted his resignation, which was rejected by Carlos VII. His endeavours were finally crowned two years before death, in the 1907 elections, as the Traditionalists, mostly thanks to joining Solidaritat Catalana, recorded their largest electoral success so far and gained 16 mandates in the Cortes, the result bettered only once, 26 years later.

title: Brooklyn Museum Art School

text:
The Brooklyn Museum Art School was a non-degree-granting professional school that opened at the Brooklyn Museum in Brooklyn, New York in the summer of 1941. The Brooklyn Museum Art School provided instruction for amateur artists as well until January 1985, when it was transferred to the Pratt Institute’s Continuing Education Division.

History
Prior to the creation of the Brooklyn Museum Art School, classes for amateur artists had been offered by the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences (BIAS), the museum's parent organization. BIAS offered hands-on art classes dating back to 1893 on Montague Street in Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn Museum Art School title was first used in the 1941-42 annual report from the Brooklyn Museum, remaining separate from the Brooklyn Museum's Education Department, which was directed towards children. During World War II the Brooklyn Museum Art School offered limited classes in painting, photography and drawing.

In 1945 the artist Augustus Peck became director of the school and expanded its offerings. As a result of the GI Bill the Brooklyn Museum Art School had very stable income and funding, allowing many prominent artists to teach or lecture at the school and the enrollment of the school rose to 3000.

Artists included Augustus Peck, William Baziotes, Max Beckmann, Ben Shahn, and Reuben Tam. The enrollment number suffered as more institutions began to offer accredited programs in the fine arts during the late 1950s. A Bachelor of Fine Arts program in conjunction with Long Island University was planned to begin in 1959, but never came to fruition due to lack of funding.

Saint-Émilien-de-Blain is a village and parish in France, part of the commune of Blain, Loire-Atlantique.

The parish and village are named after Saint Émilien, Bishop of Nantes, who died when trying to save the city from the Arabs during their invasion of 725.
The church at Saint-Émilien was built in 1844–54 on the central square of the village, and the bell tower added in 1868. The spire was never added due to lack of funds.
The church has a typical cross-shaped layout, with a large nave and two transept arms.

The neoplastic painter and sculptor Jean Gorin (1899–1981) was born in Saint-Émilien.

Nashville Outlaws: A Tribute to Mötley Crüe is a 2014 studio album released via Big Machine Records. It is a tribute album to the heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, featuring covers of their songs performed by various country music artists. The album's lead single is a cover of "Home Sweet Home", recorded by Justin Moore as a duet with Mötley Crüe lead singer Vince Neil.

Critical reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic rated it 2.5 stars out of 5, saying that "Maybe it doesn't hold together but, then again, there never was a clear pathway for this tribute to proceed anyway. The Crüe and country may share some common ground, but it's ungainly and only intermittently appealing, as this odd record makes clear." He praised the performances of LeAnn Rimes, The Mavericks, and Aaron Lewis. Jon Freeman of Country Weekly rated the album "B", praising the Mavericks' cover of "Dr. Feelgood" as the strongest track, as well as the performances by Moore, Rascal Flatts, Eli Young Band, and Gretchen Wilson. He found Aaron Lewis's cover of "Afraid" the most country-sounding, but criticized the performances of Cassadee Pope, Clare Bowen and Sam Palladio, and Big & Rich. Rolling Stone reviewer Nick Murray gave the album 2 out of 5 stars, with his review saying that "Unfortunately, few of the 15 featured artists do anything more than rehash their assigned song – often omitting even the slight twang Nashville usually requires."

title: Arthrobacter luteus

text:
Arthrobacter luteus (ALU) is a species of gram-positive bacteria in the genus Arthrobacter. A. luteus is facultatively anaerobic, pleomorphic, branching, non-motile, non-sporulating, non-acid-fast, catalase-positive, and rod-shaped (0.6–1.0 μm × 0.8–10.0 μm).

A restriction endonuclease enzyme is extracted from the bacterium and acts at the centre of a palindromic tetranucleotide sequence to give even-ended duplex DNA fragments phosphorylated at the 5'-end. The restriction site Alu-I itself is a 4-base cutter: AG/CT. The Alu retrotransposon is named after the bacterium's abbreviation. The bacterium is also used to produce zymolyase, which can degrade yeast cell wall.

Background
Arthrobacter luteus was isolated from brewery sewage in research done in Takasaki, Japan in 1969. The team studied the bacteria isolated taxonomically and found them to be gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, pleomorphic, branching, non-motile, non-sporulating, non-acid-fast, and catalase-positive rods. The bacteria also reduced nitrate, hydrolyzed starch and liquefied gelatin along with producing acids from carbohydrates. They then compared the isolated bacteria with 18 other strands of similar microorganisms and found to be in the genus Arthrobacter, but no specific species was corresponded. Thus, the name "Arthrobacter luteus" was given to the isolates.

Research
An endonuclease restriction, which is a protein produced by bacteria that cleaves DNA at specific sites along the molecule, that occurs from Arthrobacter luteus has been isolated and the nucleotide sequence at the cleave site of the restriction isolated. The cleavage occurs at the center of the palindromic tetranucleotide sequence, which gives even-ended duplex DNA fragments phosphorylated at the 5’-end. A palindromic tetranucleotide is a sequence with 4 nucleotides that are able to be read the same backward as it is forwards. The restriction endonuclease cleaves SV40 form I DNA into 32 fragments, this is quite unusual since most others cleave much fewer than this. The Alu will then be used to digest the SV40 DNA. The fragments have been able to be arranged so that the physical cleavage map of the SV40 genome can be shown.

title: Alexander Heron

text:
Alexander Macmillan Heron, BSc DSc FGS FRGS, FRSE (31 July 1884 – 1971), was a Scottish geologist who became Director of the Geological Survey of India. He participated in the 1921 British Mount Everest reconnaissance expedition following which he produced a geological map of the Everest region of Tibet.

Early life and professional career
Alexander Heron was born in Duddingston, Edinburgh on 31 July 1884, son of William Heron, a coal agent for William Baird & Co of Garthsherrie, who later became a macer (court usher), and Joan Heron, née Macmillan. He graduated from University of Edinburgh in engineering in 1906 and in that year he joined the Geological Survey of India.
In 1911, in South Stoneham, Hampshire, he married Margaret Kirsopp of Musselburgh and in 1915 they had a daughter, Marjorie Edgware Heron. Returning to study at the University of Edinburgh, he was granted his D.Sc. in 1919.
He was elected fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1925 and, succeeding Sir Lewis Leigh Fermor, he became the Survey's director in 1936 until stepping down from that post in 1939. From 1934 to 1937 he was president of the Calcutta Geographical Society (which in 1951 became the Geographical Society of India). In 1948 Heron was geological advisor for Hyderabad.
He continued publishing research papers for the Geological Survey into the 1950s and, after 23 years of geological survey in Rajasthan he published his magnum opus, "The Geology of Central Rajasthan", in 1953.
 He died in 1971 aged 86 while he was staying in the Nilgiri Hills of southern India.

Mount Everest regional geological survey

1921 expedition

Background

The 1921 Everest reconnaissance expedition was funded by the Royal Geographical Society, the Alpine Club and the Survey of India with a remit to explore the approaches to Mount Everest from Sikkim and through Tibet, and to investigate possible routes for climbing the mountain. Reaching the summit was not a primary objective. For geographical survey work the Survey of India appointed its own officers and the Geological Survey of India appointed Heron to conduct a widespread geological survey and to produce a map. Charles Howard-Bury led the expedition. Harold Raeburn and Alexander Kellas were to lead the climbing team but, after Kellas' sudden death on the walk-in, and Raeburn's illness requiring him to return to base, George Mallory effectively became lead climber. Henry Morshead led the survey work.

Heron's travels

Heron's party left Darjeeling on 19 May 1921. To begin with Mallory had found Heron dull in conversation but in the course of the long trek across the Tibetan plateau he formed a much better opinion. In letters home to his wife Ruth he wrote that Heron was a "solid treasure", was "cheerful and good-natured", and that although he was good at dealing with the porters he was no climber. Later, while exploring north of Everest, Mallory's photographs with one camera were ruined because he had been putting in the photographic plates back to front. Writing home he blamed Heron for not instructing him properly.

Starting from the expedition's base at Tingri on 25 June, Heron set off south west towards the Kyetrak Glacier with Oliver Wheeler. Howard-Bury joined them later and while Wheeler surveyed on his own, they explored the area of the Nangpa La where Heron discovered marine fossils in the limestone at heights never thought possible. By 4 July they had moved to see Mallory and Guy Bullock in the Rongbuk valley and then they headed on north and then east to find a suitable base from which to explore the eastern approaches to Everest. They decided the Kharta valley was suitable. Heron separately surveyed from Kharta back to Tingri and went on to make several geological expeditions to the north. He returned to Kharta on 19 August after exploring, in very bad weather, a broad east-west region as far north as the Yarlung Tsangpo River. Heron visited the main party at Kharta on 14 September and then set off to explore Everest's eastern valleys taking no part in reaching the Lhakpa La and, beyond, the North Col.

For Heron the expedition ended on 20 October when the group he was with arrived back in Darjeeling. Largely working alone, he had made geological investigations over  and had produced the promised geological map.  He also wrote the geological chapter for Howard-Bury's book about the expedition.

Geological results
Heron based his map on the topographical map that was being drawn by Morshead and his team, although for much of the time the region he was in had not yet been mapped so he had to transcribe his observations later. The scale was four miles to an inch (1:250,000). Heron discovered that the Tibetan plateau was intensely folded sedimentary Jurassic shale and Cretaceous limestone with an east-west strike with, he considered, the folding indicating movement from the north. The uppermost limestone, Cretaceous and later, contained fossils but the shale had little by way of fossils. Nearer to the mountains the shale was underlain by limestone (possibly Triassic or Jurassic) metamorphosed into crystalline form and into calcareous gneiss. In the vicinity of the high mountains the rock was biotite gneiss. The high peaks north west of Everest had granite intrusions and possibly the same would apply on Everest itself. He considered that the biotite gneiss was probably an igneous intrusion into the calcareous gneiss. There were no ores or minerals of commercial interest.

The region surveyed was in Tibet from the Tsangpo in the north down to the Nepalese border. It included the basin of the Arun River, the region north and east of Everest, and in the west the headwaters of the Bhote Koshi flowing into Nepal. Heron considered that a river had once flowed east–west just north of Himalaya, possibly joining the Tsangpo as a tributary. The Arun River flows southwards between Everest and Kangchenjunga and he thought that its headwaters had cut backwards and to the north until the east–west river had been captured in the middle of its course. The Arun Gorge is  deep as it cuts completely through the Himalayan ridge and for the origin of its upper part Heron was "unable to give an explanation".

Complaint from Lhasa
While the expedition was underway, on 28 September 1921, Charles Bell, who was in Sikkim as the British diplomatic representative to Tibet, received a telegram from the Tibetan prime minister passing on a complaint from the dzongpen of Shekar. The expedition had disturbed the monks at Rongbuk Monastery and, moreover, climbers had been digging up rubies, turquoises and other precious stones.

Bell knew that no precious stones had been found but he was well attuned to Tibet culture and sympathetic with it so he understood the sensitivities. To make matters worse, a scarlet fever epidemic had indeed broken out in Tibet in late 1921.

Heron's explanation was not helpful:

Bell was infuriated and no official geologist, and certainly not Heron, would ever take part in an Everest expedition again. Moreover, officers of the Survey of India were also to be excluded.

1922 expedition

The Survey of India nominated Heron to accompany the 1922 expedition as geologist even though the Tibetan authorities had refused permission. Frederick Bailey (who in 1913 with Morshead, had explored the Tsangpo Gorge) had replaced Charles Bell as Britain's political advisor for Tibet and he continued with Bell's decision not to allow geologists. So, even though Heron joined the party at Kalimpong hoping for a last-minute reprieve, the Foreign Office in London, not wanting to cause diplomatic difficulty, instructed Charles Bruce, the leader of the expedition, not to allow Heron to participate – he had to return to Darjeeling. Despite all this Heron's discoveries were to be the foundation for the unofficial later work of Noel Odell on the 1924 expedition and Lawrence Wager on the 1933 expedition.

title: Nobiliary

text:
Nobiliary (foaled 14 February 1972) was an American-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. She recorded her biggest win in the Washington, D.C.International in 1975, a year in which she became (and remains) the only filly since 1916 to finish placed in the Derby Stakes. As a two-year-old she won one minor race but showed promised when finishing sixth in the Grand Critérium and third in the Prix des Réservoirs. In the following year she won the Group Three Prix de la Grotte and was thereafter campaigned exclusively in Group One/ Grade I company. She won the Prix Saint-Alary and was placed in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, Epsom Derby, Irish Oaks and Prix Vermeille before ending her career with a win in the Washington, D.C.International. She had no success as a broodmare, producing only two foals.

Background
Nobiliary was a "strong, attractive" chestnut mare with a small white star bred in Kentucky by her owner Nelson Bunker Hunt. Her sire, Vaguely Noble, won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in 1968 before becoming a successful breeding stallion whose best progeny included Dahlia, Exceller and Empery. Nobiliary's dam Goofed won four races and became a highly successful broodmare, also producing the outstanding racehorse and sire Lyphard and the Bowling Green Handicap winner Barcas. Nobiliary was sent to race in Europe where she was trained in France by Maurice Zilber.

Racing career

1974: two-year-old season
Nobiliary ran four times as a two-year-old in 1974. After finishing third over 1400 metres on her racecourse debut she won a maiden race over 1700 metres at Longchamp Racecourse in September, beating Beautiful Sea by one and a half lengths. She was then moved up sharply in class and matched against colts when she contested France's most prestigious race for juveniles, the Grand Critérium over 1600 metres at Longchamp on 13 October. Ridden by Maurice Philipperon she started at odds of 13/1 and finished sixth of the ten runners, nine lengths behind the winner Mariacci. On her final appearance of the season she finished third behind Dona Barod and Good Start in the Prix des Réservoirs over the same course and distance.

1975: three-year-old season

Spring
Nobiliary began her three-year-old season in the Prix de la Grotte over 1600 metres at Longchamp in April and won by a length from Lighted Glory, a filly who went on to finish fifth in the 1000 Guineas. On 4 May, Nobiliary, accompanied by her pacemaker Amata, started 3/1 second favourite for the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches over the same course and distance. Ridden by the British jockey Lester Piggott, she took the lead from Amata in the straight but was overtaken in the closing stages and was beaten one and a half lengths, with the odds-on favourite Broadway Dancer six lengths back in third place. The filly was then moved up in distance for the Prix Saint-Alary over 2000 metres on 25 May. Again ridden by Piggott she started the 8/5 favourite and recorded her first Group One win, beating Lighted Glory by two lengths.

Summer
In a highly unusual move, Nobiliary was then send to England and was matched against colts for the 196th running of the Epsom Derby, a race in which no filly had finished in the first three since Fifinella won a wartime version in 1916. Ridden by Yves Saint-Martin she ran on strongly in the straight to finish second to Grundy, three lengths behind the winner and four lengths clear of Hunza Dancer in third. Maurice Zilber later expressed the view that Nobilary could have won the race if Saint-Martin had made more use of the filly's stamina. Nobiliary was scheduled for a rematch with Ivanjica in the Prix de Diane but when the race was abandoned owing to industrial action by stable staff, she was rerouted to the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park Racecourse. As well as being matched against older horses for the first time, she was racing on firmer ground than she had previously encountered. She looked very unsettled before the start and after racing prominently for most of the race but looked outpaced in the closing stages and finished fifth behind the German horse Star Appeal. Nobiliary returned to one and a half miles for a clash with The Oaks winner Juliette Marny in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh Racecourse on 18 July. Piggott opted to ride Juliette Marny, the 5/2 favourite, whilst Nobiliary, ridden by Billy Pyers started at 3/1. Nobiliary moved into second place early in the straight but could make no further progress and eventually finished third, beaten a neck and two lengths Juliette Marny and Tuscarora.

Autumn
On her return from a summer break, Nobiliary started second favourite behind Ivanjica for the Prix Vermeille on 21 September, a race which also attracted the Oaks d'Italia winner Carnauba and the British filly May Hill, who defeated Juliette Marny in the Yorkshire Oaks. The finish of the race was similar to that of the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches with Nobiliary taking the lead in the straight before being outsprinted by Ivanjica and beaten one and a half lengths. The pair finished eight lengths clear of May Hill in third. In France's most prestigious horse race, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on 5 October, she was coupled in the betting with Nelson Bunker Hunt's five-year-old mare Dahlia, and the pair started fourth in the betting on 8.75/1. Ridden by Pyers, she disputed the lead from the start before being overtaken 300 metres from the finish and eventually finished sixth behind Star Appeal. Pyers, who had been unseated by Nobiliary before the start, received some criticism for failing to exercise more restraint on the filly in the early stages.

On 8 November Nobiliary and Dahlia started joint-second favourites for the 24th running of the Washington, D.C.International at Laurel Park Racecourse in Maryland. The market was headed by Snow Knight who had won the Epsom Derby in 1974, before being transferred to North America where he had won several major races including the Man o' War Stakes, Manhattan Handicap and Canadian International Championship. The other contenders included Star Appeal from Germany, Laomedonte from Italy, Comtesse de Loir and On My Way from France, Tsukisamu Homare from Japan and Shady Character representing the United States. With her intended jockey Yves Saint-Martin unable to ride at 117 pounds, Nobiliary was ridden by the Canadian Sandy Hawley. Hawley sent the filly into the lead from the start and set a very fast pace, with only Shady Character attempting to match her early speed: at one point the pair went seven lengths clear of the field making it appear to some observers that she was being employed as a pacemaker for Dahlia. Several challengers emerged on the final turn but Nobiliary rallied strongly in the straight and Comtesse de Loir emerged as her only serious danger. In the final strides Nobiliary edged away from the rail, slightly hampering Comtesse de Loir but prevailed to win by three-quarters of a length, with On My Way taking third place to complete a clean sweep of the places for French-trained horses.

Assessment
There was no International Classification of European two-year-olds in 1974: the official handicappers of Britain, Ireland and France compiled separate rankings for horses which competed in those countries. In the official French handicap, Nobiliary was rated fourteen pounds inferior to the top-rated Mariacci and twelve pounds below the top filly Broadway Dancer. The independent Timeform organisation gave her a rating of 112, nineteen pounds below Broadway Dancer. In their annual Racehorses of 1974, Timeform described her as certain to stay one and a half miles and "the type to do well at 3 yrs". In the official French handicap for 1975, Nobiliary was rated the second best three-year-old filly of the year behind Ivanjica. Timeform gave her a rating of 131, making her their third-best three-year-old filly behind Rose Bowl (133) and Ivanjica (132).

Breeding record
It was expected that Nobiliary would remain in training as a four-year-old but she never raced again after her win at Laurel Park and was retired to become a broodmare. She was unsuccessful in her new role, producing only two recorded foals: Winnsboro (a bay filly, foaled in 1979, sired by Youth) and Libillary (a bay colt, foaled in 1983, sired by Liloy) neither of whom made any impact as racehorses. At Nelson Bunker Hunt's dispersal sale in 1988, she was sold for $325,000 to the Allez France Stable, but never produced another foal.
