title: SS Anglo Saxon (1929)

text:
SS Anglo Saxon was a cargo ship carrying coal from Wales to Argentina that was sunk by the  on 21 August 1940. Several of the crew managed to get in a jolly boat, an all purpose small boat that could also be used as a lifeboat. It carried the surviving members of the ship's crew west across the Atlantic Ocean for 70 days, before finally landing in Eleuthera. By the time the jolly boat made landfall, only two of the seven survivors of the attack were still alive.

Ship description
The 5,596 ton merchant ship SS Anglo Saxon filled up with coal at Newport Docks and left for Bahia Blanca, Argentina on 6 August 1940 with 41 officers and crew. She had a single deck gun. A day later she called at Milford Haven, and on 8 August joined the outward-bound Liverpool Convoy OB 195.

Sinking
On 21 August 1940, some 800 miles west of the Canary Islands at 20:20 hours, the Widder approached the Anglo Saxon in pitch darkness and opened fire from a range of approximately one mile. The first salvo of  shells landed on Anglo Saxon's poop and gun platform aft and ignited ammunition for the deck gun. This salvo killed most of the crew located in forecastle. As the Widder approached closer, she opened fire with flak, killing more of the crew, and holing the lifeboats the crew were attempting to launch on the starboard side of the ship.

More 37mm and 20mm flak destroyed the wireless room, and no signal was sent from the merchantman. Another salvo of  shells penetrated the boiler room and exploded the boiler. The Anglo Saxon'''s captain, Paddy Flynn, had been killed while throwing the ship's confidential paperwork overboard, and the order went out to abandon ship.

The coup de grâce from Widder came from a torpedo and the Anglo Saxon quickly sank stern first. Survivors record the Widder strafing lifeboats with machine gun fire before steaming eastward having not searched for any survivors.

Surviving crew in the jolly boat
Seven crew members managed to get into the port side jolly boat, unseen by the Widder. These men were: Barry C. Denny (mate, 31), Lionel H. Hawks (engineer, 23), Leslie J. Morgan (cook, 20, injured foot), Francis G. Penny (Royal Marine gunner, 44, shot through right arm and right leg), Roy H. Pilcher (radio operator, 21, injured from gun fire), Robert G. Tapscott (able seaman, 19) and Wilbert  'Roy' Widdicombe (able seaman, 24).

The survivors saw two other lifeboats leaving the stricken Anglo Saxon; both had lights which attracted the gunners on the Widder which open fire and killed all aboard the craft.

The jolly boat crew remained in the vicinity all night and at dawn set sail and headed west. The jolly boat, smaller than a cutter, was a clinker-built ship's boat used as a hack boat for small work and as a lifeboat. It was  long and  across its beam.

The boat contained the following items:

a canvas sail
compass
sea anchor
axe
boat cover
flares
matches
medical kit
six pairs of oars
one 20 lb tin of ships' biscuits
11 tins of condensed milk
16 lb of tinned mutton
four gallons of water.

The voyage

The crew initially laid low to avoid the Widder and then set sail west the following morning aiming for an island in the Caribbean or to attract a ship with the flares. From the on-board rations, each man was allocated half a cup of water with half a biscuit, with an occasional issue of tinned mutton and condensed milk.

The first of the seven survivors to die was Roy Pilcher, who succumbed to a gangrenous foot on 1 September 1940. With each passing day the health of the survivors deteriorated, as did their morale. Denny noted in his log: "Do not feel particularly hungry but suffer from parched throat owing to low water ration". The lack of water made eating the hard ships' biscuits almost impossible. Denny's last log entry on 2 September, suggested a list of future rations to be stored in lifeboats.

The log, written by another survivor, noted on 4 September that Francis Penny had "slipped overboard" (this is usually inferred to mean the person, of their own volition, decided to commit suicide by drowning rather than try any further to survive). A day later on 5 September Denny and Lionel Hawks "go over the side no water" (as with Penny, these men probably committed suicide by drowning, having given up hope of rescue). By 9 September, Leslie Morgan, "goes mad dies".

This now left just two survivors - Wilbert Roy Widdicombe and Robert George Tapscott. A rain shower on 12 September replenished their water reserves for six days with more rain collected on 20 September lasting a further four days. All water and ships' biscuits had been used by 24 September. With five weeks already spent in the boat, another five weeks of drifting westward lay ahead for both men.

Survival for both men was now a matter of good fortune. They ate drifting seaweed and a flying fish landed in the boat. Rain squalls provided more water but the men were so thirsty that they were driven to drinking the fluid from the compass they had. Although two ships passed them, they were unable to attract their attention. Widdicombe, now desperate, lost his front teeth chewing the leather of his shoes. Tapscott simply lay motionless in the bottom of the boat. By the 68th day adrift in the jolly boat, Widdicombe was slipping into unconsciousness, but with the sight of an island on the 69th day, the men managed to steer the lifeboat to landfall.

Landing
After 70 days and almost  since the sinking of the Anglo Saxon, on Wednesday 30 October 1940 the two survivors landed on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. Widdicombe and Tapscott were transferred to a hospital in Nassau, Bahamas, where they slowly recovered.

Widdicombe commented on his survival:

I wondered if I was dreaming when I saw a strange face leaning over me. And then the whole horrid situation came back to me with all its vividness, and I suffered a severe misgiving, until the man started to talk to me and then I realised that we had had the good fortune to wash up on one of Britain's far flung colonies.
My relief at the realisation that I was alive and safe on land among friends was indescribable.

Both men were visited by the Duke of Windsor, then Governor, and the Duchess of Windsor. Roy Widdicombe recovered first and travelled from the Bahamas to New York. In February 1941, he boarded the Siamese Prince which was sailing to Liverpool. On 17 February 1941, the merchantman was torpedoed by the  with the loss of all 68 aboard, one day short of her destination.

Tapscott gradually recovered and moved to Canada in 1941 and initially enlisted in the Canadian Army. The army though recorded that Tapscott was suffering from 'neurosis anxiety' (more commonly known as PTSD today). He rejoined the Merchant Navy in March 1943 and remained in that service throughout the war. He committed suicide at his home in Cardiff, aged 42, in September 1963. He had written a suicide note to the local paper, the South Wales Echo, in which he described how the depression he was suffering, from his experience lost at sea, were making his life intolerable. Tapscott had a wife, Norma, and daughter Diane.

The captain of the Widder (and later the ), Helmuth von Ruckteschell, was captured by the British and tried for war crimes. In May 1947, he was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment, commuted to 7 years and died in prison, aged 58.

The jolly boat

Lady Oakes, the wife of a wealthy Canadian, Sir Harry Oakes, bought the jolly boat at auction in Nassau in December 1940. She donated the boat to the Mystic Seaport Museum, Connecticut, in 1941, where it was displayed.

By the fiftieth anniversary in 1990, the boat had been put in storage at the museum. The Imperial War Museum, London, contacted the museum and the boat was transferred to London where it is on display. One of the key people involved in the repatriation of the jolly boat was Anthony Smith, the broadcaster and author of 'Survived', an account of the Anglo Saxon and her crew. Together with Ted Milburn, the son of the Anglo Saxon'''s Chief Engineer, they worked to get the boat moved to the Imperial War Museum London.

The jolly boat finally returned to the UK on 15 November 1997. After conservation the boat was put on display in May 1998 as the central exhibit of 'Survival at Sea: Stories of the Merchant Navy in the Second World War'.

title: Andrzej Wierciński

text:
Andrzej Wiercinski (born March 10, 1961 in Białystok, Poland) is a Hermeneutician, Philosopher,  and Theologian. As the transdisciplinary thinker, he is Professor of Liberal Arts, Faculty of Artes Liberales at the University of Warsaw, President-Founder (2001) of the International Institute for Hermeneutics (IIH), and President of Agora Hermeneutica (IIH).

Life
Wierciński completed his M.A. with distinction in Theology (Catholic University of Lublin, 1984), and was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Lublin April 4, 1985. In 1990, he took his doctorate in philosophy with Stanisław Wielgus at the Catholic University of Lublin with a dissertation, Die scholastischen Vorbedingungen der Metaphysik Gustav Siewerths: Eine historisch-kritische Studie mit Bezug auf die Seinsvergessenheitstheorie von Martin Heidegger. His second doctorate was in Theology with Gerhard-Ludwig Müller at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich with a dissertation, Der Dichter in seinem Dichtersein: Versuch einer philosophisch-theologischen Deutung des Dichterseins am Beispiel von Czesław Miłosz. In 2007, Wierciński took his Habilitation in Philosophy of Religion at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität in Freiburg i.Br. with a monograph, Hermeneutics between Philosophy and Theology: The Imperative to Think the Incommensurable. After obtaining a venia legendi in Philosophy of Religion, he was Privatdozent before becoming in 2012 ausserplanmäßiger Professor (Professor extra numerum) of Philosophy of Religion at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg. From 2015 to 2021 he was Professor of General Education and Philosophy of Education, Faculty of Education, University of Warsaw. In 2020, Wierciński received the title of Professor rerum socialium in Education (Decision of the President of the Republic of Poland of September 28, 2020). In 2021, he was awarded the honor of Professor honoris causa at the IIH and received the 2021 Blue Diamond Hermes Award: An Outstanding Contribution to Phenomenological Hermeneutics (IIH). Since 2022 he is Professor of Liberal Arts, Faculty of Artes Liberales, University of Warsaw.

Work
Wierciński has generated research accomplishments in his subject areas that demonstrate his scholarly expertise both in the range of his works and their broad, contentful composition. He understands hermeneutics as a specific mindset of openness that admits neither a priori nor apodictic demarcations between domains of knowledge but instead sits decidedly between them to overcome the compartmentalization of knowledge forms from each other. Despite the postmodern format of this hermeneutic in-between—which of course will not be raised to a trans-regional, conceptually achievable absolutism—Wierciński positions hermeneutics within the horizon of a human being’s specific ability to attain truth, which actualizes itself in the history of knowledge and its forms. He understands the philosophy of religion as the hermeneutic mediation between the incommensurable knowledge forms of religion/theology and philosophy, which are not separated from one another but rather allude to one another both genealogically and constitutively.

To bring theology and philosophy into conversation with each other, Wierciński has edited an entire row of anthologies, organized conferences, and taken part in many himself with talks. The hermeneutic in-between, which he takes up under numerous titles in lectures and publications, emblematically indicates a theoretical form and his marked talent for organizing and facilitating scholarly endeavors.

In teaching and research, Wierciński is primarily concerned with lingually oriented phenomenological hermeneutics, with the approaches of Hans-Georg Gadamer, Paul Ricoeur, and the hermeneutic reappropriation of the metaphysics of the Middle Ages, in conversation with Martin Heidegger, Gustav Siewerth, German Idealism—especially Schelling—as well as with the hermeneutics of education, communication, medicine, psychoanalysis, law, and architecture. The main focus of his writing has been the hermeneutic retrieval of medieval metaphysics. His hermeneutics of education and hermeneutics of medicine contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between human social sciences and natural sciences and their impact on contemporary society. As a prolific author, an accomplished manager, and knowledge facilitator, he serves on the advisory boards of many international societies and on the editorial boards of international academic journals.

Wierciński received the 2019 Hermes Award: A Book of the Year in Phenomenological Hermeneutics (IIH) for his two books, Hermeneutics of Education: Exploring and Experiencing the Unpredictability of Education and Existentia Hermeneutica: Understanding as the Mode of Being in the World that are the outstanding accomplishments of his hermeneutic path.

Existentia Hermeneutica
Wierciński unrivaled work of scholarship on our being in the world with others explores the multifarious ways in which philosophy, theology, and poetry meaningfully interweave. His exhilarating meditation on the human condition ingeniously captures the ubiquity of the hermeneutic character of human existence. By thinking-the-difference, hermeneutics displays its unique welcoming gesture toward investigating the heterogeneous nature of human thinking. Recognizing the empowerment of thinking that arises from Differenzdenken, existentia hermeneutica powerfully rejuvenates philosophical hermeneutics’ inimitable contribution to the Humanities. Addressing a vast range of themes, the belonging-together of language and understanding, forgetfulness of Being, self-understanding, metaphysics, Trinity, a-theology, and the pivotal Incarnation as the empowerment of thinking-the-difference, Wierciński draws on insights from impressively dexterous readings of the whole host of thinkers: Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Paul Ricoeur, Ignatius of Antioch, Thomas Aquinas, Augustine, and Richard of St. Victor, Hans Urs von Balthasar, as well as the less known Gustav Siewerth and Bernhard Welte. Orchestrating diverse voices, Wierciński places his prescient reflection on the lingual character of understanding at the heart of the book.

Following Heidegger, he cogently asserts that language and human understanding belong together: “Human Dasein resides within language: ‘Language is the house of Being.’” Wierciński’s captivating explication of the relationship between language and understanding comes to its climax in a superb gloss on Gadamer’s revalidation of Augustine’s verbum interius. Arguing that Gadamer commences an original engagement with the nature of language as situated in the onto-theological perspective, Wierciński makes a new foray into our apprehension of language, providing a great stimulus for contemporary hermeneutics to rediscover and rearticulate the deep-seated connections between philosophical and theological discourses. Acknowledging the importance of Gadamer’s appropriation of Augustine, Wierciński sensitizes us, at the same time, to hermeneutics’ vital concern of reaching out for understanding as both rooted in and transcending Tradition. Dwelling in the hermeneutic in-between of the past and the present, experiencing our being as finite, contingent, and provisional, continually facing the challenges of understanding, we partake in Being’s disclosing itself to us in the back-and-forth movement of the concealed (das Verborgene) and the unconcealed (das Entborgene), enacted in and through language. Wierciński affirms that the imperative to understand and interpret, which is embedded in our embracement and dynamic responding to the dialectic of familiarity and strangeness, indicate the unfolding of human existence as existentia hermeneutica, i.e., existentia interpretativa. In the overwhelming struggle to make sense of our being-in-the-world, we incessantly attempt to describe, re-describe, and interpret reality as profoundly stranded between finitude and infinity. The task of interpretation encompasses lived experience, and thus the possible risk of misinterpretation and misunderstanding.

Locating understanding in the practical dimension of life, in our situatedness, Wierciński potently revives the significance of phronesis for hermeneutics, sensitizing us to the intimate connections between the unique unrepeatability of the self, his/her existential situation, and radical responsibility (re-spondeo). Pondering the endeavor of hermeneutic to position us in the horizon of thinking about what happens to us and in us when we understand, Wierciński makes an enticing recourse to poetry which he deems “a zealous search for a ‘magic formula’ in which the whole truth about our existence could be accommodated and shine out brightly.” His splendid interpretations of poetry by Hölderlin, Celan, Rilke, and Miłosz that both intersperse and are an integral part of his philosophical-theological discourse aptly show that the poetic word is the portentous locus of the disclosures of Being. Integrating the miscellaneous insights afforded by a stunningly meticulous interrogation of the pregnant but often overlooked and underrated intersections of philosophy, theology, and poetry, the hermeneutics of facticity of being in the world with others  is a superb achievement that remains attuned to its momentous, interdisciplinary, and far-reaching character.

Hermeneutics of Education
“Andrzej Wierciński is currently the most outstanding author in Poland who represents philosophical pedagogy, on the one hand, and the philosophy of educational practice, on the other, while combining hermeneutic and critical perspectives. His cognitive maturity is expressed by the ability to move at ease across academic disciplines, which are usually treated as separate and even actively and nonchalantly severed from each other to the detriment of the intellectual culture of the Academy. In his interpretations and analyses, Wierciński connects the academic areas fraught up with current pseudo-reforms and preserved as such in segregated and isolated circles. He protected his intellectual path from the pressures which dichotomize differences and divisions, and which weaken, at the same time, the quality of the possible rooting in the contemporary intellectual culture of its polymorphic form, which always requires fusions as transdisciplinarity and not just interdisciplinarity.” (Witkowski 2020, 120)

Wierciński’s hermeneutics of education is a compelling and thought-provoking response to our being-in-the-world in its formation and transformation dynamics. Instead of offering one more examination of some voguish teaching methodologies or treating us to a purely theoretical stance, Wierciński places hermeneutic hospitality and the prodigy of our being a gift to one another in the very center of educational endeavor, sensitizing us thus to its dialogical, reciprocal, and phronetic dimension.  Advocating for the relevance of the hermeneutic triad of understanding, explaining, and applying (subtilitas intelligendi, explicandi et applicandi) for the educational enterprise, Wierciński focuses on application (An-wendung, turning toward something) that results from a dialogic encounter in the teaching environment, in its fundamental and compelling openness to the inexorable μετάνοια. In the fusion of the horizons of the teacher and the student (Horizontverschmelzung), education happens as a hermeneutic conversation and opens a unique possibility to discover the otherwise unfeasible. As Wierciński evocatively underlines, education in its conversational character allows us to unravel those areas of meaning and unknot those problems that we would not be able to solve on our own. Therefore, hermeneutic education is the time of a momentous unveiling (revelatio), in which a given phenomenon speaks to us differently each time we undertake the invaluable task of understanding in the true spirit of Gadamer’s oft-quoted dictum of immer-anders-verstehen. In its nourishing and strengthening of our need to understand and interpret, education cannot be narrowed down to an instrumental multiplication of the possible and versatile answers to a given question or a facile accumulation of data. Hermeneutic education shifts the accent from a mere quest for knowledge to persistent but also life-affirming and life-changing cultivation of a willingness to understand, which calls on us to welcome unpredictability and risk. Instead of eliminating and suffocating different and complicated voices, hermeneutic education stimulates and fosters patient encounters with what needs to be understood without shortcuts and cutoffs.

Fostering Heidegger’s crucial distinction between calculative and contemplative modes of thinking (berechnendes and besinnliches Denken), Wierciński encourages us to follow the path of vita contemplativa. He fleshes out its unquestionable positivity by excellently combining the medieval care of the soul, encapsulated in St Bonaventura’s plea to expand on our contemplative work by sharing the fruits of contemplation (contemplata tradere) with the hermeneutic call to implement that which has been learned (Hermeneutik im Vollzug). Wierciński magnifies his most precious invitation to cultivate meditative thinking by sensitizing us to the beauty of the poetic word. His penetrating and erudite interpretations of Miłosz, Herbert, T.S. Eliot, Hölderlin, Szymborska, and Rilke enhance our imaginative response to Being disclosing itself to us, as well as help preclude our falling prey to the narcissistic and complacent apprehension of the self. With a hand of a virtuoso, Wierciński brings into conversation the insights of contemporary hermeneutic anthropology, philosophical hermeneutics, phenomenology, and psychoanalysis, as well as bridges them with the theological traditions of  St Augustine and St Aquinas, inspiring us to see the indispensability of the hermeneutic dialogue of the past and the present and to recognize the power of the pedagogical enterprise as both embedded in the wisdom of the past and as happening in the now (hic et nunc). Enthusing us to apprehend the profundity of the event (Eregnis) of education as the genuine locus educativus of our intellectual and spiritual growth, Wierciński rejuvenates in us the critical and exhilarating truth that when we understand, we always self-understand (Verstehen ist Sichverstehen), and that education is always self-education (Erziehung ist Sich-Erziehen). Facing and honoring the reality of our vulnerability and fragility, l’homme capable, agissant et souffrant is a being capable of a more thoughtful and compassionate response to the Other (répondre à la vulnérabilité) in situations which call for phronetic wisdom. In its intensely sensitive and consequential attunement to the possibilities inhering in the eventing of education, Wierciński’s remarkable tour de force encourages us to rejoice in the inexhaustibility of understanding and the beauty of the unpredictability of what happens to us and in us when we learn and understand.

Hermeneutic Philosophy of Religion
Wierciński situates the contemporary debate regarding the relationship between philosophy and theology beyond Athens and Jerusalem. The original antinomy of Tertullian collapsed in light of the undeniably theological development of modern Western philosophy. The intellectual legacies of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Enlightenment demonstrate that philosophy and theology are inseparably entrenched. Wierciński observantly reveals that the representative theologians of the twentieth century were strongly philosophically informed. The theological profundity of Bultmann, Barth, Rahner, and von Balthasar, each in his own way, was a profundity of classical German philosophy.

On the other hand, philosophy has theology to thank for its unmistakable radiance. Modern philosophers like Kant, Hegel, and Schelling are unthinkable without a theological background, not to mention postmoderns, like Heidegger or Levinas. The necessity to pose philosophical questions and contemplate natural theology became a dominating concern for Christianity and Western philosophy. For Wierciński, hermeneutics thoughtfully pursues a degree of mediation between the two poles of opposed misunderstandings of religion and the secular world. Hermeneutics comes to the aid of a strained relationship like a middleman and becomes ever more conscious of the finitude and historicity of understanding. The divide between theology and philosophy in the Western tradition is simply not a problem that must be overcome. In fact, this divide gave rise to a fruitful legacy that provoked both philosophy and theology to pose hermeneutic questions. On the basis of hermeneutics, Wierciński invites a rejection of Heidegger’s call for a radical separation between philosophy and theology. Such a separation is hermeneutically untenable. Independently of how strictly the disciplines attempt to maintain their distance from one another, the opposing influence cannot be avoided. It is already a historical reality. Hermeneutics calls for new and renewed consideration of the problematic connections of theology and philosophy that needs to happen at different levels. Philosophy and theology are not simply static disciplines that must somehow become methodologically associated, but historical disciplines with their own distinctive intellectual histories. The hermeneutic-critical apparatus, narrative identity in particular, is necessary to reclaim, in a constructive articulation, the tradition of respect and connection between philosophy and theology. The space that is to be established anew between philosophy and theology thanks to the contemplation of the incommensurable is an invitation to hermeneutics. That which happens in the no-man’s land between the two disciplines is hermeneutics and can only be hermeneutics. It is a hermeneutics between the courage to inquire and the humility to listen. Wierciński claims no final judgment regarding the single proper connection of philosophy and theology but attempts rather to show another way, a way that is to negotiate between the two disciplines. The sole possibility of disclosing this way lies in actually practicing hermeneutics. The incommensurability of philosophy and theology yearns for a myriad of interpretations. Philosophy and theology cannot eliminate such an open space for the manifold of interpretations, not even with reference to the distance between the two. Neither can one forbid the other from understanding and interpreting their connection differently.

The belonging-together of philosophy and theology discloses that Western philosophy and the theological tradition have developed, historically, with and alongside one and another. Throughout intellectual history, there were movements that would be interpreted as philosophically autonomous but were nonetheless entangled with the theological background. On the other hand, we can also ask the theological side what would have become of Christianity without encountering Greek metaphysics. Indeed, something completely other, perhaps unthinkably other. Luther would not have been able to rediscover original Christianity without metaphysics because, to put it hermeneutically, this would have passed over the historical facticity of the matter. Hermeneutic philosophy must incorporate theology because it can do nothing else. The reverse also applies. The object of hermeneutics, the matter itself, is theological in such a way that it incorporates voices that the tradition that we are generates. Hermeneutics is not theology but must remain open to it.

A hermeneutics that finds itself “between” the divine and the human can reveal a modus existendi for the people of the age of interpretation. This “hermeneutics of between” of philosophy and theology wants to let the abundance of diverse voices come to speech to be able to address the drama of human existence with the acuteness that it deserves. Philosophy has lost its claim to speak from an absolute perspective in the hermeneutic age. Many arguments against the integration of theology into philosophy draw the false conclusion that if philosophy as “pure reason” is free from cultural entanglement, then it is also not subject to theology since this latter is always culturally conditioned with respect to its particular and historical belief community. Hermeneutics helps to recognize that Western philosophy is just as much a cultural phenomenon as Western theology. It is a kind of confession of faith in critical thinking, founded by Socrates, refined in the Middle Ages, and fully developed in the rational triumph of the Enlightenment. That this creed strives toward antinomy does not change its rootedness in culturally and theologically conditioned situations. Philosophy in the West is just as much a form of life or art of living as theology. This is an idea that existentialism rediscovered from the Greeks. If philosophy and theology are both forms of living (as Wittgenstein opined), neither has any a priori primacy over the other. Theology thus loses this privilege along with philosophy, yet one can speak with reference to the relation between them from a philosophical and a theological perspective. Two forms of living are speaking with one another. However, theology has something of which no philosophy can assure itself, namely, the authority of God. Philosophy has something that theology cannot have, skeptical freedom from authority. In our conversations, we must thus clearly distinguish between the theological and philosophical perspectives and recognize that the other view, theological or philosophical, remains ever possible. Such an understanding gives theology and philosophy the freedom to continue to develop themselves in dialogical independence from one another and to liberate themselves from the Idealism of a synthesis of the two disciplines. Only in becoming conscious of their differences can one retain a firm foundation for conversation between them. Like every other hermeneutic conversation, it comes to be a recognition of opposing indebtedness that has a transformative character.

As the art of understanding, hermeneutics stipulates that an undertaking like this integrates the theoretical dimension of the question with the factical. Theology is no mere academic discipline. It is a mode of our being-in-the-world. With certain reservations, the same can be said of philosophy. Not only are two disciplines colliding, but two alternative ways of being a human being are also observing each other with a suspicious eye so that the other constitutes a provocation and a threat of its peculiar belief and conception of reality. An important contribution of hermeneutics consists in that it precludes any rash problem-solving, independent of whether it concerns itself with a liberal synthesis of two different discourses or a post-liberal burial of antagonism between them. This perpetual dialogue admits of no ultimate conclusion. Indeed, it would be a bad hermeneutician who would think that he has the last word, must have the last word, or even could have the last word.

title: Kärlekssång från mig

text:
"Kärlekssång från mig" is a ballad written by Patrik Henzel and Karl Eurén, and performed by Markoolio at Melodifestivalen 2009. The song participated in the second competition, inside the Skellefteå Kraft Arena on 14 February 2009, but was knocked out.

The single peaked at number 22 on the Swedish singles chart.

The song's lyrics describe things within Swedish popular music who aren't expected to appear, like a duet between Joakim Thåström and Carola Häggkvist, or Kent appearing during the Diggiloo tour, or that Markoolio should start singing love ballads.

title: Hardcore Justice (2014)

text:
The 2014 Hardcore Justice (also known as Impact Wrestling: Hardcore Justice) was a professional wrestling event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). It took place on August 5, 2014, at the Grand Ballroom in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was the tenth event under the Hardcore Justice chronology and aired as a special edition of TNA's weekly broadcast of Impact Wrestling on August 20, 2014.

Five professional wrestling matches were contested at the event. The main event was a Six Sides of Steel match to determine the #1 contender for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship contested between Bobby Roode, Eric Young, Gunner, Austin Aries, Magnus and James Storm. Roode and Young simultaneously won the match to earn the title shot. On the undercard, Gail Kim successfully defended the Knockouts Championship against Angelina Love in a Last Knockout Standing match, Mr. Anderson defeated Samuel Shaw in an "I Quit" match, Samoa Joe successfully defended the X Division Championship against Low Ki and Bram defeated Abyss in a Stairway to Janice match.

Storylines
Mr. Anderson had been feuding with Samuel Shaw earlier in the year as the two traded wins in a steel cage match at Lockdown, a Straitjacket match on the April 3 episode of Impact Wrestling and a Committed match at Sacrifice. Shaw would then be sent into a psychiatric facility for intervention and was released from the facility on the June 26 episode of Impact Wrestling under the supervision of Gunner, who helped Shaw throughout the duration. The following week, on Impact Wrestling, Shaw apologized to Anderson and Christy Hemme for his recent behavior. On the August 7 episode of Impact Wrestling, Gunner, Shaw and Anderson competed in a six-man tag team match against The BroMans (Robbie E, Jessie Godderz and DJ Z), which the former trio lost and Anderson blamed Shaw for the loss. On the August 14 episode of Impact Wrestling, Shaw attacked Anderson during Anderson's match with Gunner, which led to an "I Quit" match between Anderson and Shaw at Hardcore Justice.

Magnus defeated Willow in a match at Slammiversary XII. On the June 19 episode of Impact Wrestling, Willow and Abyss attacked Bram and Magnus backstage after Bram and Magnus lost their World Tag Team Championship match against The Wolves. The following week, on Impact Wrestling, Bram and Magnus defeated Abyss and Willow in a Monster's Ball match. Abyss then disappeared from TNA for over a month until he returned to TNA on the July 24 episode of Impact Wrestling by attacking Bram and Magnus after Bram and Magnus attacked Mr. Anderson and Gunner. On the August 7 episode of Impact Wrestling, Bram defeated Abyss in a Monster's Ball match by using Janice (A Nail Board that was commonly used by Abyss). On the August 14 episode of Impact Wrestling, Abyss demanded that Bram return Janice to him and then Abyss challenged Bram to a Stairway to Janice match at Hardcore Justice, which was later made official.

At Slammiversary XII, Angelina Love defeated Gail Kim to retain the Knockouts Championship. On the July 3 episode of Impact Wrestling, Kim defeated Love in a rematch to win the title. Kim successfully defended the title against Love, Madison Rayne and Brittany in a four-way match on the following week's episode of Impact Wrestling. On the July 24 episode of Impact Wrestling, Love attacked Kim and Taryn Terrell during Kim's Knockouts Championship title defense against Terrell. On the August 14 episode of Impact Wrestling, Kim successfully defended the title against Terrell, Love and Sky in a four-way match. It was later announced that Kim would defend the title against Love in a Last Knockout Standing match at Hardcore Justice.

At Destination X, Lashley successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Austin Aries. On the August 7 episode of Impact Wrestling, Lashley, MVP and Kenny King cut a promo about Lashley being the dominant champion who had beaten everyone until Bobby Roode challenged him to a match to put the title on the line claiming that Lashley had never beaten Roode. Lashley, MVP and King attacked Roode until Aries and Eric Young made the save. On the August 14 episode of Impact Wrestling, Lashley, MVP and King defeated Roode, Young and Aries in a six-man tag team match. It was later announced that Young, Roode, Aries, Magnus, Gunner and James Storm would compete in a Six Sides of Steel match at Hardcore Justice to determine the #1 contender for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

At Destination X, Low Ki, Samoa Joe and Sanada won their respective three-way matches to qualify for a three-way match for the vacant X Division Championship on the August 7 episode of Impact Wrestling, which Joe won. On the August 14 episode of Impact Wrestling, Ki defeated Crazzy Steve, Tigre Uno, Manik, Homicide and DJZ in a six-way elimination match to become the #1 contender for the X Division Championship at Hardcore Justice.

Event

Preliminary matches
The event kicked off with a Stairway to Janice match between Abyss and Bram. Bram initially retrieved Janice by climbing the ladder but Abyss delivered a Black Hole Slam to Bram onto the thumbtacks. Abyss got Janice but then Bram hit a low blow to Abyss and hit him with Janice for the win.

Ethan Carter III, Rhino and Rockstar Spud cut a promo where EC3 addressed his aunt Dixie Carter being put through a table by Bully Ray a few weeks ago and held Rhino responsible for that which led to a confrontation between the two and then EC3 turned on Rhino by attacking him.

Next, Samoa Joe defended the X Division Championship against Low Ki. Joe tried to hit a muscle buster on Ki twice but Ki countered but then Joe managed to nail a muscle buster to Ki on his third attempt to retain the title.

Later, Mr. Anderson took on Samuel Shaw in an "I Quit" match. They began brawling backstage while Anderson was being interviewed by Jeremy Borash regarding his match against Shaw. After a back and forth match throughout the ringside area, Anderson forced Shaw to quit by crashing Shaw shoulder first into a ring post and applying an armbar on Shaw. Anderson refused to release the hold until Gunner forced Anderson to break the hold.

The penultimate match of the event was a Last Knockout Standing match, in which Gail Kim defended the Knockouts Championship against Angelina Love. Sky interfered in the match on Love's behalf throughout the match until Kim grabbed Sky and tossed her into Love and then Kim knocked out Love by hitting a Samoan drop from the top rope and Love was unable to get up before the referee's ten count, resulting in Kim retaining the Knockouts Championship.

Main event match
The main event match was a Six Sides of Steel match between Bobby Roode, Eric Young, Gunner, Austin Aries, Magnus and James Storm to determine the #1 contender for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Roode and Young simultaneously escaped the cage and were declared the winners of the match.

Reception
This edition of Hardcore Justice marked the first episode of Impact Wrestling to air on Wednesday night. Due to moving from Thursday to Wednesday on one week notice, many fans were unaware of the change, the episode scored a 0.65 rating and was viewed by 852,000 viewers, making it the lowest rated and viewed Impact Wrestling episode since April 2010.

Aftermath
The controversial win of Bobby Roode and Eric Young led to the Director of Wrestling Operations Kurt Angle making a match between Roode and Young to determine the #1 contender for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship on the September 3 episode of Impact Wrestling, which Roode won, thus setting up a title match between Roode and Lashley at No Surrender.

On the August 27 episode of Impact Wrestling, Rhino competed against Ethan Carter III in a match, which EC3 lost via disqualification after Rockstar Spud attacked EC3. On the September 10 episode of Impact Wrestling, EC3 defeated Rhino in a New York City Street Fight to end the feud.

title: Susan Jebb

text:
Susan Ann Jebb  is Chair of the United Kingdom's Food Standards Agency and Professor of Diet and Population Health at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford.

Career
In 2008, Jebb was awarded an OBE for services to public health. In 2015, she was criticised in an investigation by the British Medical Journal for her closeness to the sugar industry. In 2018, she was appointed Fellow of the Medical Academy of Sciences.

Jebb's research has suggested that a referral to commercial weight management weight loss programmes delivered in the community may be a cost-effective way to treat obesity in primary care. Her more recent work has studied how our perception of portion size as normal or smaller than normal can affect the amount of food we eat, and how shoppers can be influenced to choose decreased salt alternatives at the grocery store.

Jebb is a member of The Times Health Commission. In January 2023, her comments were the subject of some media attention after she appeared to compare bringing cake into the workplace to passive smoking.

Personal life
When at Cambridge, she lived in Steeple Morden, near Royston, Hertfordshire; she now lives in Shropshire.

title: SunStar Manila

text:
The SunStar Manila is a daily online newspaper published in Metro Manila, the Philippines.  Founded in 1999, the newspaper is owned by the Cebu City-based SunStar group of community newspapers.

Initially a print publication, the SunStar Manila was partially funded by the acquisition of businessman William Gatchalian, also known as the "plastics king" for his dominance of the Philippine plastic industry, of a minority stake in the newspaper: his second attempt at investing in a newspaper after owning a minority share in the SunStar Cebu in the 1980s, which he sold off in 1986.  He was invited to invest in the Manila edition as the family of former Transportation Secretary Jesus B. Garcia, which owns the SunStar Cebu and its sister publications, was unable to bankroll a Manila—and therefore truly national—edition on its own.  The acquisition was controversial at the time given Gatchalian's closeness to then-President Joseph Estrada as a member of his so-called "midnight cabinet", leading to fears that the newspaper would be used to sway public opinion.  This charge was denied by Hector Villanueva, then editor-in-chief of the SunStar Cebu.  This was evidenced by the newspaper being one of only a handful of publications printing articles written by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) highlighting the extent of the Estrada family's business holdings, a decision criticized by critics of the PCIJ.

Despite the paper's initial success, with its 2002 daily circulation of 87,000 copies being larger than even more established newspapers such as The Manila Times, the SunStar Manila was not profitable, and publication of the print edition was ultimately ceased in favor of maintaining an online-only edition some time thereafter.

title: Kanakadhara Stotra

text:
The Kanakadhara Stotra () is a Hindu hymn (stotram) composed in Sanskrit by the theologian Adi Shankara.

Etymology
 means "the stream () of gold ()", and the hymn is called by this name since legend has it that when Adi Shankara recited it, the goddess Lakshmi showered a stream of gold within the hut of his poor Brahmana benefactor.

Description

The hymn was written by Adi Shankara, a revered Hindu philosopher.

According to tradition, as a young boy, Adi Shankara was out seeking alms to prepare his lunch and happened upon the doorstep of a very poor Brahmana woman. Having nothing edible in her home, the lady frantically searched her house, only to find a single gooseberry fruit, which she then hesitantly offered to Shankara. Shankara was so moved by the incredible selflessness of this woman that he burst forth into poetry and sang 22 stanzas in praise of the goddess Lakshmi. Pleased by the beauty of the hymn, the goddess instantly showered the lady's house with gooseberries made of pure gold.

Hymn
The first hymn of the Kanakadhara Stotra is as follows:

Pafos FC was formed by a merger between the strongest football forces of the province of Paphos. The club's emblem includes the name of the Club and Town, and features the figure of Cypriot revolutionary Evagoras Pallikarides. The shape and colours of the emblem (white, blue, and gold) refer to the historical clubs of APOP and AEK Kouklia. The emblem was renewed in the 2018–19 season, making the figure of Pallikarides more visible.

On 10 June 2014, the historic building of AEP Paphos FC hosted the first gathering for the supporters of the merged team, in the presence of politicians, active and veteran football players of Paphos, and hundreds of fans. The first president of the team was Christakis Kaizer, who was previously the president of AEK Kouklia and one of the main people in the effort to create the new team together with the then six-member managing committee of AEP.

As an official home stadium for its obligations in the championship of the first division, the team uses Stelios Kyriakides Stadium (Paphiako Stadium).

The purpose of the Club is to promote noble rivalry, "fair play" and culture both through sports activities and through numerous cultural and educational events, and visits to schools, and educational institutions in Paphos. The team has projected a picture of renewal and full professionalism in all departments and levels. An important event is the complete renovation of the training center to the standards of European clubs.

The team's first coach was Radmilo Ivančević, who had served as AEP Paphos's coach in the past.

Pafos FC competed in the 2014–15 Cypriot Second Division, in their first season as a club. The first match in the club's history was against Enosis Neon Paralimni, at the Municipal Stadium of Geroskipou which was the first home stadium of the team. The team finished in second place and was promoted to the first division. In the 2015–16 season, in the first participation of Pafos FC in the first division, the team finished in 12th place and was relegated. Their first victory and the team's first overall victory in the first division came on 12 September 2015 in the third game of the league when Pafos FC defeated Aris Limassol 3–0 at home. The team finished 2nd in the Second Division and was promoted to the First Division in the 2016–17 season.

Dubov Era (2017–Present)
The following season, Pafos FC remained in the top division, finishing in 10th place under the leadership of their new owner, Total Sports Investments, managed by British businessman Roman Dubov. Changes in the club's structure, the Academy's operational processes, renovation of the Pafos FC Training Center along with resounding transfers significantly raised the level of the Club which now appears to be one of the most modern and well-equipped teams in Cyprus.Since Dubov's arrival, the team's placement in the league has improved (or remained constant) every year, from 2018 until now. On 25 February 2022, a 1–1 home draw against Aris Limassol allowed Pafos FC secure a place in the championship playoffs for the first time in the club's history. On this day, a new attendance record was set for Pafos FC, as over 4661 fans came to support the club.

Pafos FC started the 2022–23 season strong under new head coach Henning Berg, going undefeated in their first 12 matches in the league. However, their form worsened over time, and Berg was sacked in April 2023. They were eliminated by Omonia in the semi-finals of the Cypriot Cup, and finished fourth in the league, missing out on European qualification in the last matchday. Pafos' forward Jairo was the joint top scorer of the league with 18 goals.

On 24 June 2023, Juan Carlos Carcedo was announced as the new Head Coach of Pafos.

Domestic history

Badge and colours
The logo of Pafos FC is a variation of AEP Paphos's logo and a refresh of Pafos FC's first logo, including the name of the team and town and the classic figure of the hero Evagoras Pallikaridis. The logo also includes the team's colours, blue, white, and gold. The emblem was renewed during the period 2018–19, making the figure of the hero Evagoras Pallikarides more visible.

title: Ravning Bridge

text:
The Ravning Bridge (Danish: Ravningbroen) was a former 760 m long timber bridge, built in Denmark in the 10th century during the Viking Age. Located  10 km south of Jelling near the village of Ravning, it crossed the meadows of Ravning Enge at Vejle River.

Until the Little Belt Bridge was constructed in 1935, it was the longest bridge in Denmark.

Discovery and dating
In 1953, big shaped oak timber was found near Ravning at the south side of the Vejle River Valley. An amateur archaeologist, K.V. Christensen, heard about the findings, and measured the timber. Later more timber was found where ponds for fish farming were constructed, this time at the north side of the valley. K.V. Christensen concluded that the timber probably was from a bridge and wrote an article about that in 1959. Later the mire in the river valley sank as the result of drainage and regulation of Vejle River, and the top of some of the bridge posts came over the ground surface. Now the National Museum of Denmark became involved. A piece of oak was dated by radiocarbon dating to year 980 with an uncertainty of 100 years, and it was decided to make an excavation which started in 1972.

The National Museum made dendrochronological analyses of samples of the timber from the bridge. The conclusion was that the timber was felled in the 980s, probably in the first half of the decade. The end date of the interval has been questioned by another dendrochronologist who concludes that the date cannot be stated more precisely than "after c. 980 and before c. 1010"

Construction and purpose

The Ravning Bridge is thought to have been built in the Viking Age around 980 AD, as ordered by King Harald Bluetooth, who also built the Viking ring castles. Like these fortresses, the Ravning Bridge was in use for a short time.

The bridge, 5 metres wide and almost 760 metres long. was built with oak timber. The spans were 2.4 m long and 5.5 m wide. The bridge had 280 piers consisting of four vertical posts placed at a distance of 1.2 m, and two smaller slanted post at the ends. The vertical posts were square with sides of 30 x 30 cm and up to 6 m long. Over the vertical posts were placed 5.5 m long, 25–30 cm high and more than double as wide horizontal girders. The girders were connected by longitudinal beams on which the deck of the bridge was built. The deck area covered 3,800 square meters, and it is estimated that more than 300 ha of oak forest was felled to construct the bridge.

The purpose of the Ravning Bridge has been much debated, but later excavations in 1993 and 1996 revealed that it was used both as a trading bridge and a jetty for ships. In the Viking Age the water levels were higher in the Vejle River Valley and ships could navigate further inland and so dock closer to the important royal seat of Jelling. The width of the bridge allowed two trading wagons to pass each other.

title: University of the Witwatersrand School of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering

text:
The School of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering is one of seven schools in the University of the Witwatersrand's Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment. The School offers 4-year undergraduate degrees and post-graduate degrees in chemical and metallurgical engineering.

History
The University of the Witwatersrand was founded in 1904 as the SA School of Mines from the original 1896 Kimberley School of Mines. It moved to Johannesburg in 1904 after the second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902) and became an autonomous university with its own charter and statute in 1922. While Metallurgical Engineering degrees were granted from the onset, Chemical Engineering degrees were granted from 1922 onwards. Chemical Engineering was originally part of the Department of Chemistry, and Chemical Engineering became a separate department in 1961. In 1995, the two departments of Chemical Engineering and Metallurgical Engineering merged, and after a brief period as the School of Process Engineering and Materials, became the School of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering in 2005.

The School will be celebrating its 21st birthday (as a combined entity) in 2015 and has several activities planned.

Location

The School is located in the Richard Ward Building on the East Campus of the University.  The building is named after Richard Ward (1891–1976) who left R1 million to Wits on his death.  At the time, this was the largest amount left to the University.

In 2013, the School started major upgrades and modernisation of the building, with budgeted plans to the value of R75 million. Renovations to date include:

– 2nd floor (Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Coal, VOC and Syngas Laboratories)

– 7th floor (postgraduate office space)

NRF/DST Chair in Sustainable Process Engineering
The work conducted under this chair can be broadly categorized into Batch and Continuous Process Integration. In Batch Process Integration research is focused on developing novel mathematical models for capturing the essence of time, which is the backbone of batch processes. These mathematical models are then used as the basis for energy and water optimization in multipurpose batch facilities. On the other hand, work on Continuous Process Integration is focused on Utilities Debottlenecking for energy and water optimization. The Chair's recent studies have also addressed systems that exhibit the water-energy nexus, as traditionally encountered in integrated water and membrane networks.

Clean Coal Technology Research
The Clean Coal Technology Research group is the home of the DST/NRF funded SARChI Chair of Clean Coal Technology. Its expertise in coal processing, characterisation, and application, is amongst the best in the world.  The group's interest lies in the in-depth research into coal and carbon as a material, and the advancement of technologies and industry practices that significantly increase coal conversion efficiency and decrease environmental impact.

Industrial and Mining Water Research Unit (IMWaRU)
The Industrial and Mining Water Research Unit comprises several researchers in chemical engineering, microbiology and other disciplines, investigating acid mine drainage (AMD), constructed wetlands, water footprinting, life-cycle assessment and more.

Minerals and Metals Extraction and Recovery Group (MMERG)
The group aims to develop new, improved and innovative processes for the beneficiation of various metals from a variety of different sources, including low grade ores, solid wastes and secondary sources of metals (e.g. electronic scrap). The group consists of Prof. Selo Ndlovu, Prof. Vusi Sibanda, Dr. Lizelle van Dyk, Dr. Geoffrey Simate and Prof. Herman Potgieter. A number of postgraduate students are being supervised on various projects ranging from bioleaching of metals to gas phase extraction of vanadium from spent catalysts.

title: Haldum

text:
Haldum is a village within the Haldum parish of the Favrskov municipality of mid-Jutland, Denmark, 20 km northwest of Aarhus. The town is home to the medieval-era Haldum Church. In 2004, Haldum Church became known as an archaeological site when the Moesgård Museum conducted excavations in the area surrounding the churchyard, which yielded notable Viking Age and Early Medieval period findings.

Haldum Church

Haldum Church is a Romanesque style building constructed during the first half of the 12th century out of travertine limestone. The 1203 will of Bishop Peter Vognsen of Aarhus bequeathed the “church and manor” to the canons of the Aarhus cathedral. Since then, the church has been modified multiple times. Vaults over the chancel and naves were constructed in the late Middle Ages, and a tower was added. In 1865 Christen Kiilsgaard oversaw a complete renovation, and added the current spire.

The church bell is from the 14th century. The altarpiece in the church dates from 1599. The carved wooden pulpit was constructed in 1615. The church houses a baptismal font from the mid-16th century and is made of granite. The fonts brass basin was made in southern Germany around the same time.

Moesgård Excavations
The Moesgård Museum, based near Aarhus, was given permission to excavate the site due to a road construction plan in 2004 and it was able to excavate the area near the churchyard of Haldum Church. During this excavation, archaeologists found 16 inhumation graves and five cremation graves from the late 10th century. Because no visible traces of Christian worship were found, the graves are assumed to be pagan.

The excavators from the Moesgård Museum unearthed a series of typical Viking Age grave goods, such as pottery and knives. They also found evidence suggesting that at least some of the graves belonged to members of the social elite. Two graves were chamber burials. In one of the chamber graves, excavators found a Jelling style bronze ornament. In addition to this finding, the archaeologists also discovered two caskets which had once been brilliantly ornamented.

On the southern end of the churchyard, a series of postholes indicates a 130-meter horizontal fence that predates the church. Although no further buildings have been found to have existed within the fence, its construction is speculated to have complemented the “church and manor” complex referred to by Vognesen in his will.

Haldum Church was constructed less than 200 years later on the same site as the Viking-age graves. Because churches were often built upon existing pagan sites where chieftains served religious functions, it is highly probable that Haldum had once been home to an aristocracy. It is more difficult, however, to determine whether the fence mentioned above reflects a link between a possible Viking aristocracy in the late 10th century and the builders of the church. Because one of the fence’s postholes had been placed inside a grave - a sign of disrespect in a family-oriented Viking Age culture - the church builders would probably have been strangers to the area.

title: Ho Sai-chuen

text:
Dr. Ho Sai-chuen (circa 1891 – 29 April 1938) was a Hong Kong doctor from the influential Hotung family and member of the Sanitary Board.

Biography
Son of Ho Fook and nephew of Sir Robert Ho Tung, he was born in the most prestigious Chinese family in Hong Kong. He was educated at King's College School, London and subsequently St. John's College, Cambridge where he graduated in medicine and surgery. His grandfather thought Ho Fook was a Jewish Dutch man Charles Maurice Bosman.

He served with the Medical Corps in England and France during the First World War. After returning to Hong Kong, he set up his own practice and gave free consultations to the poor of Hong Kong.

When the incumbent Sanitary Board member C. G. Alabaster retired in 1926, Dr. Ho ran in the 1926 election against former Sanitary Board member Dr. F. M. G. Ozorio. Dr. Ho was nominated by Dr. S. F. Li and also R. H. Kotewall, member of the Legislative Council. He was elected with 220 votes against Dr. Ozorio's 158 votes. He served for a three-year term until he announced he would not seek for re-election.

He quit his work and went North to serve the wounded soldiers and civilians after the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. Shortly after he returned to Hong Kong, Dr. Ho died at 6 a.m. on 29 April 1938 at the French Hospital at the age of 47 where he was admitted on 27 April following a cerebral haemorrhage. His funeral took place on the next day and was interment took place at the Mount Davis Cemetery, the private cemetery for members of the family of Sir Robert Ho Tung as well as the Eurasian community.

Dr. Ho was very fond of fishing and shooting, and also indulged in other sports during his younger days.

title: Saint Edeyrn

text:
Saint Edeyrn ( century) was a pre-congregational saint of Wales, related to Vortigern and the royal house of Powys and the brother of Saint Aerdeyrn and Elldeyrn. Edeyrn is the patron saint of Lannédern in France and Llanedeyrn in Wales, where he founded a monastery of over 300 people.

Legend
Legend holds he was a companion of King Arthur, before moving to France where he became a Hermit. Being from the family of Vortigen, however, would make a relationship with King Arthur unlikely.

Legacy
He is remembered in churches across Wales and Brittany including Monmouth and Llanedeyrn near Cardiff in Wales and Lannédern in Brittany France.  He is often depicted riding a deer and his feast day is 6 January.
