| | | | | 11 April: Encyclopedia II - Buchenwald - Female prisoners and overseers The number of women prisoners held in Buchenwald was about 200 to 1000. The first female inmates were twenty political prisoners and two female SS guards (Aufseherin) who arrived in Buchenwald from Ravensbrück to serve in the camp's brothel in 1941. Later the SS fired the two SS women on duty in the brothel because they were accused of corruption, and their positions were replaced by SS men.
The majority of women prisoners, however, arrived in 1944 and 1945 from other camps, i.e. Auschwitz, Ravensbrück and Bergen-Belsen. Most of the ...

| | | | | 11 April: Encyclopedia II - Donovan - Collaboration with Mickie Most In late 1965, Donovan split with his original managers and signed with Ashley Kozak, who was working for Brian Epstein's NEMS Enterprises. Kozak introduced Donovan to American impresario Allen Klein (who would later take over management of The Rolling Stones), and Klein in turn introduced Donovan to producer Mickie Most, who was then riding high on the success of his chart-topping productions with The Animals and Herman's Hermits.
Most produced almost all of Donovan's best recordings. The tracks they cut together represent some of the ...

| | | | | 11 April: Encyclopedia II - Bowen, Queensland - Tourism Bowen is on a peninsula, with ocean on three sides. This gives eight beaches surrounding the town, namely Kings Beach, Queens Beach, Horseshoe Bay, Murrays Bay, Greys Bay, Rose Bay, and the Front Beach. There is also the clothing-optional Coral Bay.
These are all very different in character. Kings Beach and Queens Beach are very long beaches, so long that if you stand on one end of Queens Beach the other end is over the horizon. Kings Beach has a magnificent view of nearby Gloucester Island, and is so pristine that if you go there, yo ...

| | | | | 11 April: Encyclopedia II - Bowen, Queensland - Economy Bowen enjoys a diversified and prosperous economy based on agriculture, fishing, tourism, and mining. For several winter months, Bowen supplies about 75% of Australia's tomatoes. The tastiest mango in Australia is the variety known as the Kensington Pride, which is popularly called the Bowen Special mango. Bowen's unusually dry climate for a tropical location, plus its fertile alluvial soil, makes it the ideal place to grow a wide variety of small crops, including tomatoes, rockmelons (i.e., cantaloupes), and capsicums (i.e., green peppers). Outside the alluvial plain, muc ...

| | | | | 11 April: Encyclopedia II - Bowen, Queensland - Geography Bowen is located on the north-east coast of Australia, at exactly twenty degrees south of the equator. In fact, the twentieth parallel crosses the main street. Bowen is halfway between Townsville and Mackay, and 1,130 kilometres by road from Brisbane. (To give an idea of the scale of the state of Queensland, Canberra is closer to Brisbane than Bowen is, and Melbourne is closer to Brisbane than Cairns is).
The town of Bowen sits on a square peninsula, with ocean to the north, east, and south. On the western side, where the peninsula connects with the mainland, the Don River's alluvial plain provides fertile so ...

| | | | | 11 April: Encyclopedia II - Bowen, Queensland - Weather The town of Bowen is in the dry tropics. This means it has all the warm sunny weather of a tropical climate, but it's much dryer than one would expect for tropical beaches overlooking the Great Barrier Reef. This is why Bowen is home to the Dry Tropics Research Centre.
At Bowen's latitude, the Trade Winds provide a pleasant breeze. In summer the hottest part of the day is usually about 9am and then the wind kicks in and keeps you cool. It's not unusual in summer for Bowen to be a good ten degrees cooler than Brisbane, which is a ...

| | | | | 11 April: Encyclopedia II - John O'Hara - Columns In the early 1950s, O'Hara wrote a weekly book column, "Sweet and Sour," for the Trenton Times-Advertiser, and a biweekly column, "Appointment with O'Hara," for Colliers magazine. MacShane calls them "garrulous and outspoken" and says neither "added much of importance to O'Hara's work." Biographer Shelden Grebstein wrote that in these columns, O'Hara was "simultaneously embarrassing and infuriating in his vaingloriousness, vindictiveness, and general bellicosity." Woolf says these earlier columns anticipated "his disastrous 'My Turn' in Newsday, which endured fifty-three weeks ... beginning in late 1964... of ...

| | | | | 11 April: Encyclopedia II - James II of England - Legacy James's younger daughter Anne succeeded to the throne when William III died in 1702. (Mary II had died in 1694.) The Act of Settlement 1701 provided that, if the line of succession established in the Bill of Rights were to be extinguished, then the Crown would go to a distant German cousin, Sophia, Electress of Hanover, and to her Protestant heirs. Thus, when Anne died in 1714 (shortly after Sophia), the ...

| | | | | 11 April: Encyclopedia II - James II of England - Religion The Duke of York was admitted to the Roman Catholic Church in 1668 or 1669. His Protestant enemies in Parliament, led by Anthony Ashley Cooper, 1st Earl of Shaftesbury, ensured the passage of the Test Act; under the Act, all civil and military officials were required to take an oath (in which they were required not only to disavow the doctrine of transubstantiation, but also denounce certain practices of the Roman Catholic Church as "superstitious and idolatrous") and receive communion under the auspices of the Church of England. The Duke of York refused to perform both actions, instead choos ...

| | | | | 11 April: Encyclopedia II - Derren Brown - Other productions and publications He has written two books on magic, Absolute Magic and Pure Effect.
Absolute Magic is not so much about magical methodology as about how magicians can make their performances magical; it is written in a variety of styles, sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, but always thought provoking. He warns against an act that conveys the feeling of "Here are some tricks I've bought" and urges magicians to make their performances experiential and memorable by involving the audience. In some respects a lot of what he says is ...
