914: Sgt James Cookson (dispatch notice; citation)
No full textJames Cookson was my maternal grandfather. He was from Lytham, Lancashire and volunteered for the Army aged 16 (really 15). He served for the duration of the war with the North Lancashire Regiment Territorials, 1/4th Batallion.On 13th November 1916, he was mentioned in a dispatch from General Sir Douglas Haig “for gallant and distinguished services in the field." At this time he was recorded as No 314, L/C J. Cookson. 1/4th Bn (TF).On 1st March 1918 he received a Citation A L’Ordre de L’Armee signed by Marshal Petain. He also received the Croix de Guerre and I have seen a reference in a book about the North Lancashire Regiment which refers to Sgt Cookson being congratulated on his Croix de Guerre.The reason for the citation and medal is written in French on the certificate and translates thus:"On the 1st March 1918 being part of a patrol led by two officers, one of whom was killed and the other injured helped the latter to carry the body of the first to the English lines despite a violent bombardment. He was then joined to a detachment that was coming out and he took part in the advance guard of an attack on an enemy post. His courage and his contempt for danger served as the very best example to the men."</p

Cookson: The Canadian Context
No full textThe stages of boarding-school life described by Peter Cookson while in apparent reference to the United States, have greater applicability. The concept of boarding as an integral part of school life, which forms the basis of Cookson\u27s essay, only emerged in the mid-nineteenth century. Although American historians of boys\u27 education such as James McLachlan make concerted efforts to demonstrate the existence of an indigenous boarding tradition "independent" of a much more influential British tradition, even they acknowledge that the growth of boarding schools in the United States in the critical years, 1880-1914, was due in large part to the tremendous popularity of these schools in Great Britain. \u27 Not only was American Anglophilia "intense," to use McLachlan\u27s phrase, but schools in both countries were characterized by identical terminology and dependence on Anglican theology
Myxococcus vastator Chambers & Sparks & Sydney & Livingstone & Cookson & Whitworth 2020, sp. nov.
No full textMyxococcus vastator sp. nov. Myxococcus vastator (vas.ta’tor L. masc. n. vastator the ravager, after its ability to devastate colonies of prey cells). Vegetative cells are Gram-negative bacilli tapering slightly at the ends, measuring 0.6–0.7 m m 3.0–6.0 m m in electron micrographs. Colonies exhibit swarming motility and appear pale brown on VY-2 agar (w/v 0.5% dried baker’s yeast, 0.1% CaCl 2 2H 2 O, and 1.5% agar). Fruiting bodies are irregular spheroids, orange in color. Aerobic growth was observed at 30 C and at pH 8.0–9.0. Growth was unaffected by the addition of 1% NaCl. Hydrolyzes arginine and urea. Assimilates malate. Cells prey with low efficiency upon E. coli TOP 10, Cl. nebraskensis DSM 7483, and U. maydis DSM 14603. DNA GC content is 69.9 mol%. The draft genome sequence of AM301 T is available from GenBank (accession JAAIYB01). The type strain (AM301 T ¼ NCCB 100768 T ¼ NBBC 114352 T) was isolated from soil collected in the parish of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwlll lantysiliogogogoch, UK (gridref 53.22 N 4.19 W).Published as part of Chambers, James, Sparks, Natalie, Sydney, Natashia, Livingstone, Paul G, Cookson, Alan R & Whitworth, David E, 2020, Comparative Genomics and Pan-Genomics of the Myxococcaceae, including a Description of Five Novel Species: Myxococcus eversor sp. nov., Myxococcus llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochensis sp. nov., Myxococcus vastator sp. nov., Pyxidicoccus caerfyrddinensis sp. nov., and Pyxidicoccus trucidator sp. nov., pp. 2289-2302 in Genome Biology and Evolution 12 (12) on page 2300, DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evaa212, http://zenodo.org/record/456162
Polyphony and the anxiety of influence in the fiction of Henry James
No full textJames's fiction, especially in the Middle Phase, centres
on the figure of the artist and is characterized by, the two
interrelated aspects which previous criticism has largely
overlooked: the Bakhtinian 'polyphonic' -creation of
'author-thinkers'; and the conflict between ephebes and
precursors, for which Harold-Bloom's concept of 'the-anxiety of
influence' is the most illuminating model. Polyphony is the
narrative mode, and influence is the intra-artistic, theme.
These, as the Introduction to the thesis makes clear, are
rehearsed in James's inaugural novel, Roderick Hudson. Rowland
Mallet is an author-thinker, and his failure is caused by
authorial limitations. His monologism -is impaired by his
mistaking empathy for the authorial sympathy. Likewise,
Hudson's failure does not arise from a mercurial temperament,
but from a polyphonic shortcoming: not possessing the power of
fiction to contain the fiction of power in, his mentor. And the
relationships among the three artists - Gloriani, Hudson and
Singleton - perfectly exemplify the Bloomian-theme. It is these
two concepts, polyphony and influence, which are the major
preoccupation in the Middle Phase; as, the works chosen
demonstrate. These are a novella, a novel, and a number of
short stories all of which have been unjustifiably neglected.
Chapter One, on The Aspern Papers, argues that Tina Bordereau,
far from being, the artless victim seen by many critics,
actually challenges and defeats the narrator by the very form
of her narrative. Her 'realist' discourse undermines his
language of 'romance', and shows up its internal unstability.
Chapter Two is an extensive study of the critical reception of
The Tragic Muse. The most common areas of critical attention
have been its contemporary topicality, its relation to previous
novels on similar themes, and the possible genealogy of Gabriel
Nash. Those have all missed the core of the work. - Chapter Three
demonstrates how polyphony and the anxiety of influence make
the novel what it really is. Influence arises from the
juxtaposition of, and the wrestling between, artistic ephebes
and their precursors (Nick and Nash,, Miriam and Madame Carre).
The dialogic quality defined by Bakhtin is crucial to the
proper, and even-handed, characterization of all, the conflicts
in the novel. And since most of James's tales in the eighties
and nineties -are about 'masters - and acolytes, the anxiety of
influence remains central. Chapter Four is a study of 'The
Author of Beltraffiol' and 'The Lesson of the Master'. Again the
characters' manipulations are a crucial focus in a way that
G6rard Genette's terminology helps to illuminate. The fact that
the ephebe is the author-thinker emphasizes the inextricability
of the Bakhtinian and the Bloomian in James. Just as
polyphony offers a different focus for explicating the poetics
of James's fiction; so the ephebal conflict provides the basis
for a fresh perception of James's own artistic struggle

James Bond: international man of gastronomy
No full textThis article is concerned with the representation of food and drink in Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels. In particular, it examines how the author uses Bond’s culinary knowledge and habits of consumption as an important constituent of his hero’s character. Similarly, the food choices of other characters, notably villains, are shown to be linked, by Fleming, to core aspects of their identity − principally their ethnicity. Bond’s impulse to observe and classify, very much in evidence in the novels’ food sequences, is examined in terms of the texts’ construction of Bond as a skilled identifier of signs
