“Ken Whiteley and The Beulah Band are creating exciting new music that is deeply rooted in traditional North American folk forms. You’ll hear echoes of blues, gospel, swing, string and jug band sounds. They are all outstanding and versatile instrumentalists and great harmony singers. And if anyone can match the youthful energy of his bandmates it is Ken Whiteley. It’s been 10 years since Ben Whiteley first began performing with his Dad, Canadian folk legend Ken Whiteley. This past winter they decided to share the producer role for Ken’s new cd and Ben began sharing his insight about where he thought his father’s work might best focus. That shaped a winter of songwriting with definite funky, folky elements. As spring returned, they began talking about who best to play this new material with. When they got together with banjoist extraordinaire, Frank Evans and fantastic fiddler, Rosalyn Dennett, not only did the arrangements come alive, but they found they had that most special of things – a marvelous, 3 part vocal blend. And so was born Ken Whiteley and The Beulah Band!” https://ottawagrassrootsfestival.com/performer/ken-whiteley-and-the-beulah-band/

Emily Elizabeth Constance Jones (1848-1922) was an English educator and writer on logic and ethics, and Mistress of Girton College, Cambridge, from 1903 until 1916. Her ideas were misrepresented by Bertrand Russell as his own.
She was educated at Girton, taking a first class in the Moral Sciences Tripos in 1880; was a resident lecturer on moral sciences (1884-1903), and after 1903 mistress. She translated, with Miss Hamilton, Hermann Lotze's Mikrokosmus (1888); edited Henry Sidgwick's Methods of Ethics (1901) and his Ethics of Green, Spencer, and Martineau (1902); and wrote Elements of Logic (1890); A Primer of Logic (1905); A Primer of Ethics (1909); A New Law of Thought and its Logical Bearing (1911); Girton College (1913).
Jones was the first woman recorded as having delivered a paper to the Cambridge University Moral Sciences Club. She spoke about James Ward's Naturalism and Agnosticism on 1 December 1899, with the philosopher Henry Sidgwick chairing the meeting. Her views were regarded as original and influenced her colleagues. She spent her career developing the idea that categorical propositions are composed of a predicate and a subject related via identity or non-identity.

“Canadian folk singer and community activist. [...] In 1954, after the departure of Helen Gray, Simone was asked by fellow UJPO member and co-founder of The Travellers, Jerry Goodis, to join the group. That same year, under the direction of Samuel Goldberg, they made their television debut on the CBC program, Haunted Studio. [...] It was after The Travellers appeared on a national television commercial for Molson Canadian Beer that Simone started to doubt the direction of the group. She felt the band had strayed from their "roots" and were more interested in becoming mainstream. In 1969, she left The Travellers due to artistic differences. She was replaced by Pam Fernie.” https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1067533/bio/
“Born and raised in Peterborough, Ontario, pianist/singer-songwriter Michael Johnston is one of Canada's best-loved musicians, bringing genuine warmth and enthusiasm to the stage and studio. Michael’s 2016 album, The Bound Of The Red Deer, is a collaboration with Mercury Prize-Nominee King Creosote. Based around the piano and acoustic guitar, the recording is “richly ambient and elegaic” (Montreal Gazette) and a “record that will haunt you, inspire you and bring you joy” (Belleville Intelligencer). Michael played a central role in the music for acclaimed 2017 film, Maudie, contributing piano, accordion, organ and keyboard to the soundtrack by Michael Timmins. Michael co-wrote and co-produced a seasonal EP, Decemberly: a duo piano and voice recording with long-time friend Suzie Ungerleider (Oh Susanna) released in November 2018. Michael has toured, written and recorded with Juno-winning roots group Skydiggers since 2006. He co-wrote one of their most popular songs, Hello Beautiful Life. Michael is also a member of Scottish-Canadian supergroup The Burns Unit. Formed at a songwriting retreat in rural Scotland, The Burns Unit released one album (voted #2 folk recording of 2011 by MOJO magazine) and performed songs co-written by Michael on the Jools Holland Show (BBC). A trusted collaborator, both on stage and in the studio, Michael has accompanied Cowboy Junkies, Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy, musical-theatre star Ramin Karimloo (Les Miserables), Paul Langlois, Gord Sinclair and Rob Baker (from the Tragically Hip), as well as Scottish singer KT Tunstall. Michael has co-written songs with the likes of Chris Difford (Squeeze), Stephen Fearing (Blackie and The Rodeo Kings) and Emma Pollock (The Delgados) and recorded with producers Gary Louris (Jayhawks) and Joel Plaskett. Michael has contributed to over 50 recordings, as a musician and/or songwriter. As a producer, he co-wrote and arranged the only recordings by Taylor Mitchell, and co-produced the debut by Saidah Baba Talibah (daughter of Salome Bey, now known as SATE). Michael's solo debut, Curious Heart, drew nationwide acclaim upon its release a decade ago. Based around the piano, and an all-star band led by producer Don Kerr (Ron Sexsmith), the album became a quick favourite of CBC, and led to festival bookings across Canada.” https://www.kc-mj.band/about
William Ernest Johnson (23 June 1858 - 14 January 1931) was a British logician mainly remembered for his Logic (1921-1924), in 3 volumes. In 1924, in volume III he introduced the important concept of exchangeability.
He taught at King's College, Cambridge for nearly thirty years. He wrote a bit on economics, and John Maynard Keynes was one of his students. Johnson was a colleague of Keynes's father, John Neville Keynes.
Logic was dated at the time of its publication, and Johnson
can be seen as a member of the British logic "old guard" pushed aside by
the Principia Mathematica of Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell.
Yet an article entitled "The Logical Calculus" (Johnson 1892) reveals
that he had nontrivial technical capabilities in his youth, and that he
was significantly influenced by the formal logical work of Charles Sanders Peirce. The article begins as follows:
"As a material machine economises the exertion of force, so a
symbolic calculus economises the exertion of intelligence ... the more
perfect the calculus, the smaller the intelligence compared to the
results."
A.N. Prior's Formal Logic cites this article several times.
John Passmore tells us:
"His neologisms, as rarely happens, have won wide acceptance: such

One of the original staff members of the university, he was appointed Assistant to the President in 1960 and later served as Vice-President (Academic Services). Prior to his tenure at York, Johnson had been project manager at Canadair Ltd., a division of General Dynamic Corporation, and was a nuclear physicist by training. Along with his university work, he was an adviser to the Ontario government and TV Ontario on energy matters.
John Tupper Saywell (1929- ), author and educator, was educated in Canada and the United States receiving the PhD from Harvard University.
