Genetic testing has emerged as a powerful tool that can guide these decisions, helping breeders avoid potential health issues while potentially enhancing performance traits.Hilltop Farm - Breeding/Training/SalesOver 30 years of experience providing top breeding stallions to North American sport horse breeders.The American Hanoverian SocietyThe American Hanoverian Society was established to support owners of Hanoverian & Rhineland horses.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Even if you're not a fan of classical music, chances are you will have heard Handel's Messiah. Going behind the scenes of its creation, Charles King delves into the shifting politics of the Hanoverian court, the sex scandals of London's West End, and the surprising role of the transatlantic slave trade in financing the arts. Speaking to Elinor Evans, he reveals why, despite the complex circumstances of its creation, this legendary composition still resonates today.

We'll examine how George I, a German, came to be king of Great Britain and Ireland despite being only 57th in line for the throne and how German monarchs continued to rule the country for the next 187 years and beyond. What mark did the Hanover dynasty leave on Britain? How does it still effect them today? I think you'll be surprised to learn just how German Britain actually is! Support the show!

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the intense political activity at the turn of the 18th Century, when many politicians in London went to great lengths to find a Protestant successor to the throne of Great Britain and Ireland and others went to equal lengths to oppose them. Queen Anne had no surviving children and, following the old rules, there were at least 50 Catholic candidates ahead of any Protestant ones and among those by far the most obvious candidate was James, the only son of James II. Yet with the passing of the Act of Settlement in 1701 ahead of Anne's own succession, focus turned to Europe and to Princess Sophia, an Electress of the Holy Roman Empire in Hanover who, as a granddaughter of James I, thus became next in line to be crowned at Westminster Abbey. It was not clear that Hanover would want this role, given its own ambitions and the risks, in Europe, of siding with Protestants, and soon George I was minded to break the rules of succession so that he would be the last Hanoverian monarch as well as the first.WithAndreas Gestrich Professor Emeritus at Trier University and Former Director of the German Historical Institute in LondonElaine Chalus Professor of British History at the University of LiverpoolAnd Mark Knights Professor of History at the University of WarwickProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:J.M.

After the Battle of Culloden, a period of Cold War set in, lasting for the next two decades. The musket and cannon were replaced by espionage, propaganda, and psychological warfare, and the game of golf found itself in the midst of it all. The Hanoverian government, concerned about future Jacobite uprisings, targeted Scotland's first golfing societies due to their close ties to Scottish freemasonry and the Royal Company of Archers. These golfers, including prominent figures like William Saint Clare, James Weems, and John Rattray, were under surveillance. Despite the government's suspicions, the golfers posed little actual threat, but tensions remained high.

The Hannoveraner Verband was founded in 1922 and since that time it has been organized into regional societies, like Hanover or North Rhine-Westphalia. Hannoveraner International is one of these regional societies and represents the interests of Hanoverian breeders all over the world. It includes daughter societies in the U. S., Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. And breeding clubs in Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Russia, Sweden, and South Africa. All together, these clubs and societies make up Hannoveraner International and are integrated into the Verband with full voting rights. In this podcast, Candice Klingbeil speaks to Maren Schlender, the Deputy Breeder Manager of the Verband about how the daughter societies and breeding clubs are held to a high standard set by the Verband. She also speaks to Inga Hamilton, President of the Eastern Breeding Club of the Canadian Hanoverian Society about the benefits of being a breeding club and remaining directly associated with the Verband. And finally, she speaks to Natalie DiBerardinis, the President of the American Hanoverian Society about some of the unique advantages of being a daughter society.

Iain Dale talks to Newsagents podcast presenter Lewis Goodall about the life and reign of the first Hanoverian king, George I.
It's the first Hanoverian consort proper this week with Caroline of Ansbach, queen consort to George II. She's not so famous now, but Caroline was a highly influential consort, loved and respected by her husband and enjoying great influence through an alliance with Robert Walpole (the country's first Prime Minister). However, she also had to manage the usual Hanoverian family conflicts, with each generation hating each other, as well as her own husband's foibles and mistresses. So will Caroline emerge from the shadows and back into the Rexy spotlight? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We tend to think of royal upbringings as fairly entitled, but for the future Queen Victoria, her childhood was more like a hostage situation. After her father's death when she was just an infant, her mother and (maybe) her mother's lover went to great lengths to control every aspect of her life. Young Victoria was simply never allowed to be alone, including sleeping in her mother's bedroom until the day she became Queen, and was not permitted to walk down stairs without holding the hand of either her mother or her governess. This so-called Kensington System, invented by her mother and Sir John Conroy, also kept her isolated from other children and her Hanoverian relatives, with the intent of making Victoria dependent on them for the rest of her life. In that, it was a colossal failure. As Queen, Victoria barely maintained a relationship with her mother, and Sir John Conroy was specifically banned from her apartments in one of her first acts as monarch.

It's almost a historical accident that England's Queen Victoria, granddaughter of King George III, was born at all. Her father, George III's fourth son, shared his many brothers' predilection for the freedom of a bachelor's life, so when the heir apparent of the next generation, Princess Charlotte, died in childbirth, the princes of England found themselves in a race to marry and produce legitimate offspring to eventually take the crown. Victoria's father, Edward, Duke of Kent, was high up in the line of succession himself, but having succeeded in marrying and producing Victoria, he promptly died - meaning that there was no chance that he and her mother, Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, could produce a male heir to leapfrog her in the line. It's safe to say that the sons of George III were a blight on the country and the monarchy, but somehow out of that whole mess, one of Great Britain's finest and most beloved monarchs emerged.

JOHN SAYLES chats to Paul Burke about his historical novel JAMIE MacGILLIVRAY, the dialogue of Peter Cooke & Dudley Moore, British grub, perspectives of history and historical fiction. JAMIE MacGILLIVRAY: It begins in the highlands of Scotland in 1746, at the Battle of Culloden, the last desperate stand of the Stuart 'pretender' to the throne of the Three Kingdoms, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and his rabidly loyal supporters. Vanquished with his comrades by the forces of the Hanoverian (and Protestant) British crown, the novel's eponymous hero, Jamie MacGillivray, narrowly escapes a roadside execution only to be recaptured by the victors and shipped to Marshalsea Prison (central to Charles Dickens's Hard Times) where he cheats the hangman a second time before being sentenced to transportation and indentured servitude in colonial America 'for the term of his natural life.' His travels are paralleled by those of Jenny Ferguson, a poor, village girl swept up on false charges by the English and also sent in chains to the New World. The novel follows Jamie and Jenny through servitude, revolt, escape, and romantic entanglements pawns in a deadly game. The two continue to cross paths with each other and with some of the leading figures of the era - the devious Lord Lovat, future novelist Henry Fielding, the artist William Hogarth, a young and ambitious George Washington, the doomed General James Wolfe, and the Lenape chief feared throughout the Ohio Valley as Shingas the Terrible.John Sayles is an American independent film director, screenwriter, actor, and novelist. He has twice been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, for Passion Fish (1992) and Lone Star (1996). He has written seven novels, the most recent being Yellow Earth (2020) and A Moment in the Sun (2011).RecommendationsJosé LatourMartin LimónJohn le Carré The Pigeon TunnelWalter MosleyFilm: Emily The CriminalDiana GabaldonMentions:Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee Dee BrownHoward ZinnThe Lady Vanishes Zadie SmithA Moment in the Sun - John SaylesJames DickieBruce SpringsteenBill ForsythProduced by Junkyard DogMusic courtesy of Southgate and LeighCrime TimePaul Burke writes for Crime Time, Crime Fiction Lover and the European Literature Network.

Her new book, The Rose and the Thistle, is set in 1715 in Scotland and pits a Jacobite against a Hanoverian. She does a great job of explaining what all that means, how Christian fiction has changed enough to allow her to write a book like this, and how fabulous her trip to her ancestral home in the lowlands of Scotland was. This is an episode you don't want to miss. The Rose and the Thistle by Laura FrantzIn 1715, Lady Blythe Hedley's father is declared an enemy of the British crown because of his Jacobite sympathies, forcing her to flee her home in northern England. Secreted to the tower of Wedderburn Castle in Scotland, Lady Blythe awaits who will ultimately be crowned king. But in a house with seven sons and numerous servants, her presence soon becomes known.No sooner has Everard Hume lost his father, Lord Wedderburn, than Lady Hedley arrives with the clothes on her back and her mistress in tow. He has his own problems--a volatile brother with dangerous political leanings, an estate to manage, and a very young brother in need of comfort and direction in the wake of losing his father. It would be best for everyone if he could send this misfit heiress on her way as soon as possible.Drawn into a whirlwind of intrigue, shifting alliances, and ambitions, Lady Blythe must be careful whom she trusts. Her fortune, her future, and her very life are at stake. Those who appear to be adversaries may turn out to be allies--and those who pretend friendship may be enemies.Get your copy of The Rose and the Thistle by Laura Frantz.Meet Laura FrantzAward-winning, bestselling author Laura Frantz is passionate about all things historical, particularly the 18th-century, and writes her manuscripts in longhand first.

At Devon, we took a deep dive into the dressage lines, starting with the classical Hanoverian lines and also lines with Trakehner, Thoroughbred, Anglo-Arab, Holsteiner, Selle Francais origin. Dr. Christmann pointed out in his lecture that all lines trace back to Thoroughbred stallions and this shows what a big influence the Thoroughbred had on the evolution of the Hanoverian breed. In this episode, we focus on the stallion lines of Ladykiller xx, Sacramento Song xx, and Furioso II. The lines of Ladykiller xx and Sacramento Song xx are jumper lines of Holsteiner origin. The Ladykiller xx line had a very successful dressage branch with Lord Loxley, Krack C, and Vivaldi. The line of Sacramento Song xx, another jumper line was made popular with dressage breeders through Sandro Hit. The line of Furioso II was a dressage line of Selle Francais origin, which has developed into the most influential line of modern sport horse breeding with sires like Florestan.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
The Howe famly was at the heart of Britain's long eighteenth century. Connected to the Hanoverian ruling family by blood, they were addicted to Whig politics, high society, warfare and statecraft, and writing letters. In no less than four wars, Howe men bled and died for Britain, leading ships, regiments, fleets, and armies from Savoy and the western approaches of the Atlantic, to Quebec, India, and Brooklyn; while at home in England, the women of the Howe famly engaged in the politics of supporting and furthering their family's ambition and position. With me to describe the Howe's, and their importance to Britain and America, is Julie Flavell, author of the new book The Howe Dynasty: The Untold Story of a Mlitary FAmly and the Women Behind Britain's Wars for America. It's a book based on hitherto overlooked or unconsidered sources, providing us with both an exciting narrative and a comprehensive reassessment of the Howe family.

With just over a week to go to the start of the Paralympic Games, athletes making their way to Tokyo include the horses for the Para-dressage competitions. These are divided into five grades depending upon the nature and extent of the impairment and the level of difficulty of the test they perform is relative to their allocated grade. Sydney Collier from Ann Arbor, Michigan is a Grade I rider and part of the U.S. squad currently in quarantine in Aachen, Germany as a traveling reserve. This is the second time she has been named to the Paralympic team having competed in Rio with Western Rose. Since June 2019, Collier has been competing with Going for Gold LLC's 12 year old Hanoverian gelding, All In One. Show jumper Georgina Bloomberg bought the horse for Sydney who needed a new mount for her Tokyo campaign. The pair have been consistently posting scores in the 70s this year earning them selection to the team as the first traveling reserve. Chris spoke to Sydney last week prior to the team's departure to talk about the US combinations and who their main rivals will be.Host: Chris StaffordFor more information, links and resources plus conversations from the world of women's sport including articles, blogs, videos and podcasts visit wispsports.com.

The original jewel in the British imperial crown wasn't India but North America. And William Pitt the Elder, Prime Minister in all but name since our last episode, was going to make sure the armed forces there were up to the task of breaking the stranglehold of the French. That meant spending what was needed, but also making sure that forces were well-led. Pitt was ready to do whatever it took to make that happen, even if it meant breaking with centuries of tradition, and promoting men on merit not aristocratic background. That made it possible for the first young man unleashed, of the two in this and the next episode, James, or General Wolfe as he came to be known, to win a comprehensive and decisive victory over the French in Canada. Plus, in this episode: the extraordinary victory of British and Hanoverian infantry over French cavalry at the Battle of Mindon, was as spectacular as it was unprecedented.

And there is no question that the fifth album "Two For A Lie" will seamlessly follow on from this. True to the motto "Never change a winning team", Herman Frank has once again put his faith in the collaboration with MASTERPLAN front vocalist Rick Altzi and JADED HEART bassist Michael "Mülli" Müller, newly hired were guitarist Mike Pesin and drummer Kevin Kott on board of the battleship. Like its predecessors, the album impresses through Frank's characteristic guitar play, in which razorsharp riffs meet rousing solos, Alchi's brilliant vocals and the rhythm section grooving like clockwork provide the rest. "Two For A Lie" (https://amzn.to/2RJJPfk) was produced by Herman Frank himself together with co-producer Arne Neurand, recorded and mixed in the venerable Horus Sound Studios in Hannover and mastered by Robin Schmidt. Kai Swillus from Gestaltungskommando Buntmetall" made the cover design and artwork. ▬ Tracklist ▬ 01. Teutonic Order 02. Venom 03. Hate 04. Eye Of The Storm 05. Liar 06. Hail The New Kings 07.

Written by investigative journalist Susan Bradford, Royal Blood Lies takes the reader back to days of ancient Rome to reveal the origins of the “divine right (rite) to rule,” and why those who held claim to this right posed a threat to the world’s would be rulers. The author documents how the elites established and used international spy networks to win wars and conquer nations and how populist revolutions, religion, and wars were weaponized against the people. Steeped in the philosophy of the rational Enlightenment, a warrior-merchant class came to dominate the corporate and political establishment, with some amassing fortunes in the trillions of dollars. With the secrets of rulers encoded in the works of William Shakespeare, Royal Blood Lies documents the origins and practices of a secret cult that came to rule humanity and follows the rise of the East India Company which became a powerful force for global imperialism that laid the foundation for the Great Reset and China’s Belt and Road Initiative to fulfill an ancient Roman agenda. Understand these secrets will empower readers so that they can take back their power as a free people. As usual, Susan’s book is packed with fascinating information and new reveals! Susan’s website is: www.susanbradford.org Investigative journalist Susan Bradford explains how our “democracy in America is an illusion.” She has been in the “belly of the beast,” exposing the machinations of the global elites in her books for a long time.

How did the Rothschilds gain control over the Royal Family and the Vatican? What did it have to do with the East India Company? What does the House of Hanover have to do with the Royal Family? What is the role of the Hanoverian monarchs in Britain? Is the Rothschild bloodline on top of the food chain? How they did they acquire so much power? What is their strategy for taking over the planet? What did the 1941 Lend-Lease Act have to do with MI5 and MI6, the British intelligence services? How were they involved in the formation of the American Central Intelligence Agency? How are these international spy networks used against the common people? What is the New World Order’s plan to resurrect China, and reduce the United States to a welfare state? Why are the elite sending corporations to China? What does Black Lives Matter have to do with Saul Alinsky and the Rockefeller family? How are they advancing the socialist agenda? A listener asks if Trump was part of the Rothschild conspiracy. Was Donald Trump part of the Deep State? What part did the Zionists play in his administration? Did the Zionists engineer the voter fraud? How was the Leonardo Company in Rome involved? Is Jared Kushner part of the swamp? What did he and Eric Schmidt develop? Does Hollywood, the CIA, MI6, and Mossad work together to promote the same agenda? How was Julia Child associated with the Office of Strategic Intelligence? What about Peter Sellers? Susan Bradford exposes the Facebook narrative, detailing how NSA was responsible for its creation. Elon Musk is promoting the technocratic agenda of his Canadian grandfather. How did so many people suspend their critical thinking to believe in the coronavirus scam? What does corona have to do with the Crown? Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses involved in the New World Order? What part do the Moonies play? Are people waking up and pushing back? Can thousands of years of Satanism and Babylonian magic be exposed and overthrown? Is the Light finally overthrowing centuries of darkness?

La Reine Victoria règne sur le Royaume-Uni pendant près de 64 ans, entre 1837 et 1901. Au cours de cette période, elle est témoin de grandes avancées technologiques, scientifiques et médicales; elle assiste à l'avènement de la démocratie de masse et à l'essor de grands mouvements de réforme sociale; et elle voit les grandes puissances européennes étendre leurs empires coloniaux à travers le globe. À la fin de sa vie, Victoria gouverne elle-même sur près d'un quart de la population mondiale. L'Empire britannique en est un, dit-on alors, sur lequel le soleil ne se couche jamais.

To most English cricket-lovers Scotland is an exotic foreign country, but it has a rich, independent cricket history, as Peter Oborne and Richard Heller discover from an expert guide in their latest cricket-themed podcast. Fraser Simm is an author, historian, analyst and collector who has been chairman of the Cricket Society of Scotland for over 25 years. Fraser speaks of his first introduction to cricket – from Richie Benaud's Australians visiting Edinburgh at the end of their long 1961 Ashes-retaining tour. They became lifelong heroes to him for playing on through constant drizzle which (said Benaud) turned his normal legbreaks into off-cutters (he still took seven wickets with them, and scored over 70). Fraser picks out some eminent names in the Scottish team including Ronnie Chisholm, Jimmy Allan, Rudy Webster, later a sports psychologist and ambassador, and a young future England captain, Mike Denness. He also recalls Bradman's last two playing matches in the British Isles, in Edinburgh and Aberdeen, where he scored a century, after which King George VI invited him and both teams to Balmoral. A surviving member of the Scottish team later told Fraser that Balmoral was very untidy, that Keith Miller was seen walking with his arm around Princess Margaret and that there was a phoney press row about Bradman with his hands in his pockets talking to the King. Fraser says that the King gave permission for this but cannot answer whether Bradman gave the King permission to put his hands in his pockets. All of these scenes were mysteriously omitted from The Crown. Fraser delves into the early history of Scottish cricket. He cites the earliest known recorded match near Alloa in 1783, but also mentions evidence that cricket was played by Scots at home and as emigrants to Georgia fifty years earlier. He traces the influence of the English soldiers in the Hanoverian army in Scotland after the suppression of the 45, and that of English workers in Scotland's textile, paper and iron works during the Industrial Revolution. Cricket became popular all over Scotland in the nineteenth century, and had a major stimulus in 1849 when many of England's best players in the All-England XI came to play 22 of Scotland: they won easily although Scotland's Charles Lawrence took all ten English wickets in an innings. Fraser sets out his interesting afterlife: he became a major cricket “missionary” to Australia and managed the first Australian tour of England, by Aborigines, in 1866. As in Italy many famous Scottish football clubs began life as cricket clubs, but cricket in Scotland was held back by lack of a central organization. Although Scotland received many visiting teams from England, including several led by W G Grace, and provided a vital two-year apprenticeship to Wilfred Rhodes, English cricket gave little support to its development. Although largely denied first-class or professional cricket opportunities in their own country, many important Scottish personalities played cricket enthusiastically and in some cases with real ability. Fraser sets out the astonishing multi-sporting achievements of Scotland's cricket champion, Leslie Balfour-Melville (a cousin of Robert Louis Stevenson). J M Barrie loved cricket and formed his own literary team to play it. It included Conan Doyle, who once had to leave the field on discovering his flannels were ablaze after the ball ignited a box of matches in his pocket. Hesketh Pritchard, educated at Fettes, refused a cap for Scotland in order to play for his house at school. Later as a literary explorer his search for the giant sloth inspired Conan Doyle to write The Lost World. And more...
I’m taking you time-traveling again! Just a short train or boat ride from the heart of London is one of England’s most famous pleasure palaces: Hampton Court Palace. From the heyday of Henry VIII to Shakespeare’s performances in the Great Hall, and from plans for the King James Bible to huge renovations under William and Mary—Hampton Court Palace has been at the heart of the British monarchy. In fact, during the Hanoverian reigns, it was the site of a queen fleeing while in active labor and the accusation of a baby smuggled into the palace in a warming pan! Since Queen Victoria opened Hampton Court to the public, people have flocked to see the palace, the gardens, the maze, and the wonders of a world gone by.Thomas Wolsey was the first owner of Hampton Court. Wolsey’s extravagance certainly caught the eye of his visitors, and of his king. John Skelton, a well-known poet and former tutor of Henry VIII, wrote a satirical poem calling Wolsey’s wealth and influence into sharp focus:Why come you not to Court?To which court?To the king’s court?Or to Hampton Court?Nay, to the king’s court!The king’s courtShould have the excellenceBut Hampton CourtHath the pre-eminence! In my opinion, this was the worst thing for someone like Henry VIII to hear. It was one thing for him to have Wolsey basically run the country while the king pursued his own interests and pleasures. It was quite another for people to joke about Wolsey having pre-eminence. That, combined with Wolsey’s inability to get Henry’s annulment from Katherine of Aragon, plus the whispers that Wolsey was conspiring with the Pope, turned Henry against his long-time devoted servant. Wolsey maintained the whole point of Hampton Court was to glorify his King. The best apartments were for Henry VIII. Henry had always acted as if the place were his own when he visited. But as Wolsey proved unable to meet the king’s wishes, he found Henry wanted to take his sense of ownership further. In September 1528, Wolsey received a letter telling him to leave Hampton Court. The king was about to turn Hampton Court into his own pleasure palace. Walk with Henry VIII, his wives, and his children through the Great Hall, the Great Watching Chamber, the royal apartments, the kitchens, the maze, and more! You can meet history at Hampton Court!
This week on The Roe Show I interview Freestyle Equestrian Athlete, Coach & Olympian, Cindy Ishoy. We discuss her philosophy on coaching, training young horses for competition, how to reach excellence and how she changed the freestyle dressage mentality with her revolutionary routine in a very traditional sport, when she included the pop song, Candy Shop, by 50 Cent in her freestyle. We discuss more traditional sports like gymnastics and equestrian, which both came from a military background, and what the future might hold for them both. We also discuss the relationship between a horse and rider and how they have to work together as a team. Cindy began her riding career in Germany as a young child, but it didn't take her long to excel at the sport. As a teenager, she started turning in outstanding results for Canada. She was a member of the gold medal team and placed fourth individually at the 1971 Pan Am Games in Cali, Colombia. A year later she was the youngest equestrian competitor at the Munich Olympics, at age 20. In 1979, she became the first Canadian to win an international dressage Grand Prix event in England. In 1980 Cindy was selected to the Canadian team for the Moscow Olympics but because the Games were boycotted, she completed in alternate Games in the Netherlands. She was seventh in the 1986 World Championships and second at the 1988 World Cup in the Netherlands. A member of the bronze medal winning Canadian dressage TEAM at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, she was also fourth individually. Cindy also competed in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Her outstanding career included one more Olympic selection, in Athens, in 2004. As if her career wasn't brilliant enough, she might have achieved even more, because in 1989, her great Hanoverian partner ‘Dynasty' died from colic at the age of 12, still in the peak of his career. But she would have two other very good horses. ‘Dakar' went to Barcelona in 1992 and ‘Proton' at Athens in 2004.

While work continues on the podcast's upcoming Season 5, we're pleased to offer you another summer interlude. For today's show, we bring you the audio version of Jim Ambuske's recent live stream chat with Professors Zara Anishanslin and Arthur Burns about the Georgian Papers Programme. Now, most of you probably know that some Americans had a little - shall we say – disagreement with King George III two centuries ago. Something about taxation, tea, and tyranny. But did you know that researchers, librarians, and digital humanists on both sides of the pond are busy digitizing and interpreting the papers of the Georgian Monarchs, their families, and the members of the royal household from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries? What can we learn about early America, and especially the American revolution, from these documents? Stay tuned to find out. As always, if you'd like to see the images associated with this live stream, consider watching the video version by going to www.mountvernon.org/gwdigitaltalks. About Our Guests: Zara Anishanslin is Associate Professor of History and Art History at the University of Delaware. She is the author of Portrait of a Woman in Silk: Hidden Histories of the British Atlantic World. She was the 2018 Mount Vernon Georgian Papers Programme Fellow, working at the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle, the Washington Library, and King's College London on her new project on the American Revolution, London Patriots. Arthur Burns is Professor of Modern British History at King's College London. He is currently academic director of the Georgian Papers Programme. Primarily a historian of later Hanoverian and Victorian Britain, Burns engages with the history of the Church of England over a much longer period, notably through his pioneering involvement in digital humanities. He co-founded the Boydell and Brewer monograph series Studies in Modern British Religious History, which has now published more than 35 volumes on this theme. About Our Host: Jim Ambuske leads the Center for Digital History at the Washington Library. He received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Virginia in 2016 with a focus on Scotland and America in an Age of War and Revolution. He is a former Farmer Postdoctoral Fellow in Digital Humanities at the University of Virginia Law Library. At UVA, Ambuske co-directed the 1828 Catalogue Project and the Scottish Court of Session Project. He is the co-author with Randall Flaherty of "Reading Law in the Early Republic: Legal Education in the Age of Jefferson," in The Founding of Thomas Jefferson's University ed. by John A. Rogasta, Peter S. Onuf, and Andrew O'Shaughnessy (Charlottesville: University of Virginia Press, 2019). Ambuske is currently at work on a book entitled Emigration and Empire: America and Scotland in the Revolutionary Era, as well as a chapter on Scottish loyalism during the American Revolution for a volume to be published by the University of Edinburgh Press.

Audio book of Mistress Vania Changes Jobs. Episode Two: Mistress Vania Works Out “You can't just blame everything on the internet,” said Amanda, sitting on the corner of her boss' desk. Her boss was the newspaper editor Horace Pratt. The Hanoverian cast of his face made him look like a ghostly visage from the nineteenth century. His waistcoat and red suspenders placed him firmly in his glory days of the nineteen-eighties. He smelt of coffee and cigarettes. Amanda Frost was in her forty with shoulder length red hair. She dressed down, apart from her glasses with the expensive Italian frames. In her mind a preoccupation with fashion had no place in the life of a serious print journalist whose occupation was now steeped into her bones. She had always said: I'm not pretty enough for the television gigs. This was just as well, since no-one was knocking on her door, asking her to present the nightly news. Indeed, today was not about job offers. Quite the reverse, since it was the sudden lack of a job that occupied her mind.

One of only 24 people to have flown to the Moon, he orbited it 74 times in the Command Module Endeavour. During Apollo 15's return flight to Earth, Worden performed an extravehicular activity to retrieve film cassettes from the exterior of the spacecraft, the Apollo command and service module. While orbiting the Moon alone, farther from other people than anyone has ever been, Worden mapped a quarter of the lunar surface, measured the composition of lunar rocks from space, picked out a landing site for the final Apollo mission, and launched a miniature satellite into lunar orbit to study the Moon’s gravity and magnetic field. It was the first "deep space" EVA in history, at great distance from any planetary body. As of 2020, it remains one of only three such EVAs that have taken place, all during the Apollo program's J-missions. He died from a stroke in Sugar Land, Texas at the age of 8818 March 2020 –The discovery of Asteriornis maastrichtensis, the oldest definitive species of modern bird, which lived at the end of the Mesozoic era.- https://www.newsweek.com/wonderchicken-oldest-known-modern-bird-dinosaur-1493000- https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2096-0Researchers have discovered the remains of an extinct animal that may represent the oldest "modern" bird known to science. An international team of palaeontologists identified the near-complete fossil skull of the bird, which they have dated to between 66.8 and 66.7 million years ago. Dubbed Asteriornis maastrichtensis, the extinct bird—affectionately nicknamed the "wonderchicken"—shares some features that can be seen in modern-day ducks and chickens, according to a study published in the journal Nature. The palaeontologists say the find sheds new light on the evolution of modern birds and could help explain why these animals survived the mass-extinction event, while large dinosaurs did not. "We have discovered the oldest modern bird fossil yet identified," Daniel Field, an author of the study from the University of Cambridge in the U.K., told Newsweek. "Asteriornis maastrichtensis is an early fossil bird close to the origin of the group that today includes chicken-like birds and duck-like birds. Asteriornis lived 66.7 million years ago, at the end of the Age of Dinosaurs, and provides new insights into what modern birds were like early in their evolutionary history."20 March 2020 – Kenny Rogers passes away - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/mar/21/kenny-rogers-country-music-star-dies-aged-81Kenny Rogers, the American country music star with hits popular across the world, has died. His husky voice and down-home narrative style won him three Grammy awards and put him at the top of the American music business for more than four decades. He sold over 100 million records worldwide during his lifetime, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. His fame and career spanned multiple genres: jazz, folk, pop, rock, and country. He remade his career and was one of the most successful cross-over artists of all time. His signature song, 1978's "The Gambler", was a cross-over hit that won him a Grammy Award in 1980 and was selected in 2018 for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress. The singer, who has been mourned by fans this weekend on social media, once summed up his success with mainstream audiences by explaining that the traditional lyrics to his songs “say what every man wants to say and that every woman wants to hear”. He died from natural causes in Sandy Springs, Georgia at the age of 81.24 March 2020 – Albert Uderzo passes away - https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-52016721Albert Uderzo, one of the two creators of the beloved comic book character Asterix, who captured the spirit of the Gauls of yore and grew a reputation worldwide, has died. He created the famous stories - about the adventures of Gaulish warriors fighting the Roman Empire - with his friend René Goscinny in 1959. As well as illustrating the series, Urderzo took over the writing following Goscinny's death in 1977. The books have sold 370 million copies worldwide, in dozens of languages, and several stories have been turned into cartoons and feature films. The series continues to this day under new ownership, with the most recent book, Asterix and the Chieftain's Daughter, released last October. French Culture Minister Franck Riester said that Uderzo "found the magic potion", referring to his spirit, craftsmanship and long hours of work. He died from a heart attack in Neuilly-sur-Seine at the age of 92.Remembrances23 March 1981 - Beatrice Tinsley - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrice_TinsleyBeatrice Muriel Hill Tinsley, British-born New Zealand astronomer and cosmologist and professor of astronomy at Yale University, whose research made fundamental contributions to the astronomical understanding of how galaxies evolve, grow and die. Tinsley completed pioneering theoretical studies of how populations of stars age and affect the observable qualities of galaxies. She also collaborated on basic research into models investigating whether the universe is closed or open. Her galaxy models led to the first approximation of what protogalaxies should look like. In 1978, she became the first female professor of astronomy at Yale University. Her last scientific paper, submitted to the Astrophysical Journal ten days before her death, was published posthumously that November, without revision. She died from cancer at the age of 40 in New Haven, Connecticut.23 March 2001 - Margaret Ursula Jones - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Ursula_JonesEnglish archaeologist, best known for directing major excavations at Mucking, Essex. She worked at a number of sites, but is best known for her excavations at Mucking, a major Anglo-Saxon settlement and associated cemetery, with finds ranging from the Stone Age to the Medieval period. The Mucking excavation, which Jones directed from 1965 to 1978, became Britain's largest ever archaeological excavation. It produced an unprecedented volume of material, although some academic archaeologists have criticised the fact that the results did not appear in print until decades after the excavation had ended. Jones' work at Mucking, as well as her role in founding the campaign group Rescue, was influential in the establishment of modern commercial archaeology in Britain. Jones herself also gained a reputation as an eccentric and intimidating figure: "indomitable, formidable, disinclined to suffer fools but very kind to those she considered worth helping, dedicated and inventive". She died at the age of 84.23 March 2007 – Paul Cohen - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_CohenAmerican mathematician. He is best known for his proofs that the continuum hypothesis and the axiom of choice are independent from Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory, for which he was awarded a Fields Medal. Cohen is noted for developing a mathematical technique called forcing, which he used to prove that neither the continuum hypothesis (CH) nor the axiom of choice can be proved from the standard Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms (ZF) of set theory. In conjunction with the earlier work of Gödel, this showed that both of these statements are logically independent of the ZF axioms: these statements can be neither proved nor disproved from these axioms. In this sense, the continuum hypothesis is undecidable, and it is the most widely known example of a natural statement that is independent from the standard ZF axioms of set theory. While studying the continuum hypothesis, Cohen is quoted as saying in 1985 that he had "had the feeling that people thought the problem was hopeless, since there was no new way of constructing models of set theory. Indeed, they thought you had to be slightly crazy even to think about the problem." He died from lung disease at the age of 72 in Stanford, California, near Palo Alto.Famous Birthdays23 March 1890 – Cedric Gibbons - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedric_GibbonsIrish-American art director and production designer for the film industry. He also made a significant contribution to motion picture theater architecture from the 1930s to 1950s. Gibbons designed the Oscar statuette in 1928, but tasked the sculpting to George Stanley, a Los Angeles artist. Gibbons was one of the original 36 founding members of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and designed the Academy Awards statuette in 1928. A trophy for which he himself would be nominated 39 times, winning 11. The last time for Best Art Direction for Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956). Gibbons' set designs, particularly those in such films as Born to Dance (1936) and Rosalie (1937), heavily inspired motion picture theater architecture in the late 1930s through 1950s. In February 2005 Gibbons was inducted into the Art Directors Hall of Fame. He was born in New York City.23 March 1907 - Daniel Bovet - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_BovetSwiss-born Italian pharmacologist who won the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of drugs that block the actions of specific neurotransmitters. He is best known for his discovery in 1937 of antihistamines, which block the neurotransmitter histamine and are used in allergy medication. His other research included work on chemotherapy,sulfa drugs, the sympathetic nervous system, the pharmacology of curare, and other neuropharmacological interests. In 1965, Bovet led a study team which concluded that smoking of tobacco cigarettes increased users' intelligence. He told The New York Times that the object was not to "create geniuses, but only [to] put the less-endowed individual in a position to reach a satisfactory mental and intellectual development". He was born in Fleurier.23 March 1924 - Bette Nesmith Graham - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bette_Nesmith_GrahamAmerican typist, commercial artist, and the inventor of the correction fluid Liquid Paper (not to be confused with competitor White-Out). She was the mother of musician and producer Michael Nesmith of The Monkees. To make extra money, she used her talent painting holiday windows at the bank. She realized as she said, "with lettering, an artist never corrects by erasing, but always paints over the error. So I decided to use what artists use. I put some tempera water-based paint in a bottle and took my watercolor brush to the office. I used to correct my mistakes." She eventually began marketing her typewriter correction fluid as "Mistake Out" in 1956. The name was later changed to Liquid Paper when she began her own company. She was born in Dallas, Texas.25 March 1920 - Patrick George Troughton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_TroughtonEnglish actor.

The assassins included General Bennigsen, a Hanoverian in the Russian service, and General Yashvil, a Georgian. They charged into his bedroom, flushed with drink after dining together, and found Paul hiding behind some drapes in the corner. he conspirators pulled him out, forced him to the table, and tried to compel him to sign his abdication. Paul offered some resistance, and Nikolay Zubov struck him with a sword, after which the assassins strangled and trampled him to death. Paul's successor on the Russian throne, his son, the 23-year-old Alexander, was actually in the palace at the time of the killing. General Nikolay Zubov announced his accession to the heir, accompanied by the admonition, "Time to grow up! Go and rule!" Alexander I did not punish the assassins, and the court physician, James Wylie, declared apoplexy the official cause of death.23 March 1888 – In England, The Football League, the world's oldest professional association football league, meets for the first time. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Football_LeagueThe first meeting was held at Anderton's Hotel in London on 23 March 1888 on the eve of the FA Cup Final. The Football League was formally created and named in Manchester at a further meeting on 17 April at the Royal Hotel. The name "Association Football Union" was proposed by McGregor but this was felt too close to "Rugby Football Union". Instead, "The Football League" was proposed by Major William Sudell, representing Preston, and quickly agreed upon. Each club played the others twice, once at home and once away, and two points were awarded for a win and one for a draw. This points system was not agreed upon until after the season had started; the alternative proposal was one point for a win only. Preston won the first league title without losing a game, and completed the first league–cup double by also taking the FA Cup.23 March 1965 – NASA launches Gemini 3, the United States' first two-man space flight (crew: Gus Grissom and John Young). - https://www.nasa.gov/content/march-23-1965-launch-of-first-crewed-gemini-flightNASA's two-man Gemini spaceflights demonstrated that astronauts could change their capsule's orbit, remain in space for at least two weeks and work outside their spacecraft. They also pioneered rendezvous and docking with other spacecraft. All were essential skills to land on the moon and return safely to Earth. Veteran Mercury astronaut Grissom was selected as command pilot of Gemini III, making him the first person traveling into space twice. Joining Grissom was Young, the first member of the second group of NASA pilots to fly in space. Young would go on to become the first person to make six spaceflights, including commanding Apollo 16 during which he walked on the moon. He also commanded STS-1, the first shuttle mission. Gemini III's primary goal was to test the new, maneuverable spacecraft. In space, the crew members fired thrusters to change the shape of their orbit, shift their orbital plane slightly, and drop to a lower altitude. The revolutionary orbital maneuvering technology paved the way for rendezvous missions later in the Gemini Program and proved it was possible for a lunar module to lift off the moon and dock with the lunar orbiting command module for the trip home to Earth. It also meant spacecraft could be launched to rendezvous and dock with an orbiting space station.Follow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS - http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/General EnquiriesEmail - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

On this week’s show we talk to two riders who are making their games debut for the US Dressage team, Jennifer Baumert from Ohio and Sarah Lockman from California. Jennifer and Betsy Juliano LLC’s 14 year old Hanoverian gelding Handsome join the squad for the 2019 Pan American Games to be held from July 28-3 at the Equestrian Club Militar La Molina in Lima, Peru. Although this will be Jennifer’s Games debut she and Handsome were on the winning Nations Cup team in Wellington, Florida in March this year and she is excited at the opportunity given their consistency since the partnership began three years. They have had sixteen wins so far with six of those this year at Intermediate I, enough to convince the selectors that they are deserving of a place on the team alongside Nora Batchelder on Faro SQF, Sarah Lockman with First Apple and Endel Ots with Lucky Strike. I spoke to Jennifer at her summer training base in Ohio and she told us that her family were counting on her making the team so they could have a holiday in Peru. Sarah Lockman and Gerry Ibanez’s nine year old Dutch stallion First Apple first met in October of last year and in their short time as partners have won all of their FEI competitions with consistent scores in the mid 70’s. But even though this is a relatively new partnership to be making their games debut Sarah knew from the time she first sat on Apple that they were meant for each other and she will be heading to team camp shortly full of confidence of what they can bring to the squad.

William Herschel was a Hanoverian musician turned British astronomer. In this episode we look at his journey from military band oboist to the court astronomer of King George III. Along the way we look at his work as a composer and orchestral director, his entry into the field of astronomical instrument construction and his bringing of the techniques of natural history to astronomical investigation. We also discuss telescope design, what's the best telescope for a beginner to invest in and the idea of scientific serendipity.

When Clara Dollman comes to meet our heroes off the coast of Norderney on October 21, it all kicks off. Carruthers has to make the cabin fit for a lady, Davies gets hot under the collar and there’s something fishy about the library of sailing books on board. We discuss the best books to have on a small boat, the history of Norderney, what makes a cabin woman-friendly, Edwardian cocoa, and how Childers has got his tide tables terribly terribly wrong. We then drift off into a long diversion about the popularity of 1970s TV series ‘The Onedin Line’ in Romania. Hopefully, we’ll be back on course in time to discuss the row to Memmert in the next podcast. Lloyd notDavies dives straight in by announcing he’s going on a sailing course (00:52), but what books might he have on board any boat he skippers? (05:11); Davies favours E. F. Knight (05:58), Cowper (09:29) and Macmullen (10:44); we list the top 25 books that one might except to find on a cruising saloon bookshelf (12:38); a brief discussion of George Crowninshield Jnr and the birth of small boat cruising culture (14:37). Tim notCarruthers gets very cross about Childers’s frankly cavalier disregard for tides and tide tables (16:55); he cites an article in Cruising World by Alistair Buchan proving that the events of October 21 are impossible to re-enact (18:09); there are consequences, too, for October 22 and the plausibility of the row to Memmert (22:52). Lloyd notDavies offers brief notes on Norderney (25:58); we discover that the island is practically British, thanks to Hanoverian connections (27:14); the case is made to put Isak Dinesen into our growing onboard library ( 29:49). Tim notCarruthers tries to understand womens’ cabins (31:30); details of the HMS Daring ‘unisex’ warship (32:14); drawer management on boats - is it different for girls? (34:50); cocoa as a woman's drink, and the story of Egbert Fry (36:52). Club business: Tony F reminds us about the German TV series ‘Das Rätsel der Sandbank’, allowing us to reprise the theme tune (42:08); how ‘The Onedin Line’ fuelled the revolution in Romania (43:14); Jon on Boulter’s lock in Berkshire (45:55); more on ‘The Onedin Line’ and on to ‘Howard’s Way' - we've gone too far... (46:50). Missions for next week: how possible is the row to Memmert?; more meals including breakfast at the Four Seasons Hotel and dinner with the Dollmans; did the address at Schwanallee ever exist?

Matthew Parris hears from Labour peer Lord Adonis why Joseph Bazalgette, the Victorian engineer, has his nomination as a Great Life. Bazalgette, the grandson of a French immigrant who made a fortune lending money to the Hanoverian royal family, is one of the most important of the great Victorian engineers. He not only built a sewage system for London which wiped out cholera in the city, he also built the famous Embankments, laid out several of the main thoroughfares and built or improved many of the city's landmark bridges. Yet he is far less well-known than his flamboyant contemporary Brunel and less celebrated than the creators of the railways. With the help of Joseph Bazalgette's great-great-grandson Sir Peter Bazalgette, the man responsible for Ready Steady Cook and Big Brother and now Chairman of the Arts Council, Matthew pieces together the story of Sir Joseph Bazalgette, "The Sewer King." Producer Christine Hall First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2014.
Tom Sutcliffe looks back three hundred years to the Hanoverian succession to the British throne. The curator Lucy Worsley explains how the German Georges claimed the crown and how they kept it. The Georgian period is also the setting for Paula Byrne's biography of Dido Belle, the daughter of an aristocrat and a captured West Indian slave. Also on the programme, the MP Chris Bryant explores the history of Parliament and the movement of power from King to democracy. But what of today's Royals? The director Rupert Goold's latest production follows the coronation of Prince Charles to examine what it means to rule Britannia. Producer: Katy Hickman.
After the epic reign of Victoria, Edward VII (known as Bertie) had a lot to live up to. Lacking in academic rigour, romping and making scandal like his Hanoverian forefathers, Bertie was a source of anxiety for both his parents and the country at large. However, after a nearly 60-year wait, Bertie became King Edward VII in 1901 and proved surprisingly good at kinging. His natural charm and laid-back indulgence was a breath of fresh air and characterised the Edwardian age. Edward found himself at the centre of international diplomacy and, with David Lloyd George's 1909 "People's" Budget, at the heart of the biggest political crisis since 1832. But will he save the day and earn himself a place on the Rex Factor mountain?
Melvyn Bragg discusses the epic feud between Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz over who invented an astonishingly powerful new mathematical tool - calculus. Both claimed to have conceived it independently, but the argument soon descended into a bitter battle over priority, plagiarism and philosophy. Set against the backdrop of the Hanoverian succession to the English throne and the formation of the Royal Society, the fight pitted England against Europe, geometric notation against algebra. It was fundamental to the grounding of a mathematical system which is one of the keys to the modern world, allowing us to do everything from predicting the pressure building behind a dam to tracking the position of a space shuttle.Melvyn is joined by Simon Schaffer, Professor of History of Science at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Darwin College; Patricia Fara, Senior Tutor at Clare College, University of Cambridge; and Jackie Stedall, Departmental Lecturer in History of Mathematics at the University of Oxford.
