The secret keeper : a novel of Kateryn Parr
As Juliana accompanies Kateryn Parr to court, Henry's devout sixth queen raises the stakes for all reformers. Support of firebrand Anne Askew puts the queen and her ladies in life-threatening jeopardy, as does the queen's desire to influence her husband's--and the realm's--direction and beliefs. Later, without Henry's strong arm, the court devolves to competition, duplicity, and betrayal. The risks could not be higher as Juliana must choose between love and honor, personal fulfillment and sacrifice. Ultimately, her course is driven by a final kept secret, one that undoes everything she thought she knew.

James A. Parr, sin par (1936–2022): Editor, Bulletin of the Comediantes 1973–98 PART II
An obituary for James A. Parr, former editor of Bulletin of the Comediantes, is presented. Parr followed in the footsteps of Everett W. Hesse as editor of the journal and continued to support young scholars and engage with the comedia community. He was a model of a good sport, stimulating participants and coordinating activities. His research and commentaries have aged like fine wine.

Catharine Parr Traill's The female emigrant's guide : cooking with a Canadian classic
\"What did you eat for dinner today? Did you make your own cheese? Butcher your own pig? Collect your own eggs? Drink your own home-brewed beer? Shanty bread leavened with hops-yeast, venison and wild rice stew, gingerbread cake with maple sauce, and dandelion coffee - this was an ordinary backwoods meal in Victorian-era Canada. Originally published in 1855, Catharine Parr Traill's classic Female Emigrant's Guide, with its admirable recipes, candid advice, and astute observations of local food sourcing, offers an intimate glimpse into the daily domestic and seasonal routines of settler life. This toolkit for historical cookery, redesigned and annotated in an edition for use in contemporary kitchens, provides readers with the resources to actively use and experiment with recipes from the original Guide. Containing modernized recipes, a measurement conversion chart, and an extensive glossary, this volume also includes discussions of cooking conventions, terms, techniques, and ingredients that contextualize the social attitudes, expectations, and challenges of Traill's world and the emigrant experience. In a distinctive and witty voice expressing her can-do attitude, Catharine Parr Traill's Female Emigrant's Guide unlocks a wealth of information on historical foodways and culinary exploration, now in a format for the twenty-first century.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Remembering James A. Parr (1936–2022)
Under his leadership as editor, Bulletin of the Comediantes solidified its position as a top tier journal that publishes forward-thinking essays; not seeking to claim the cutting edge, but publishing a steady stream of thoughtful studies that advanced our knowledge as the discipline evolved. In an astonishing leap, he was named full professor and head of the department of Murray State University by the age of twenty-seven. Jim published five books and more than sixty articles in highly respected journals, many in the era of typewriters and hard- bound copies of the MLA Bibliography.

Move or stay: habitat use and movements by Atlantic salmon parr (Salmo salar) during induced rapid flow variations
An experimental factorial approach, in terms of habitat use and movements by Atlantic salmon parr (
Salmo salar
), was studied in response to induced peaking flow in a bypass river section in southern Norway. Sixteen radio-tagged salmon parr (mean TL 12.9 ± 0.8 cm) were tracked during a 7-day spring period with manipulations of flow. Total habitat availability was modeled and integrated with fish locations. Parr movements exhibited a wide individual variation in movement behavior with a subsequent large home range which indicated nonrandom patterns involving three types of behavioral response groups: I parr that did not move during experiments; II parr that used a defined area in the stream moving in all directions; and III parr that moved, i.e., traveled longer distances. Movement distances were strongly skewed towards many short (i.e., I and II) and few but long movements mainly on downstream direction (i.e., III). However, flow alterations clearly affected salmon parr movements, which were also significantly related with alterations of discharge and diel variations. As may be expected, parr movements were also positively related to habitat shifts. In conclusion, flow alterations and reduced light may increase Atlantic salmon parr movements.

Representing succession: Tudor royal portraits, 1544-1546: context, production and analysis
In preparation for an invasion of France in 1544, Henry VIII signed his third Act of Succession, an inflexion point in his reign which established his two daughters, formerly declared illegitimate, as official heirs to his kingdom. This inclusion had been vigorously advocated by their stepmother, Henry's sixth queen, Kateryn Parr (1512-1548). Evidence suggests that it was Kateryn, who helped achieve for Mary and Elizabeth the dynastic legitimacy that secured their subsequent reigns. In celebration of this achievement, between 1544 and 1546, evidence also suggests that it was the queen who was instrumental in commissioning a campaign of portraits of her stepchildren as a visual affirmation of their enhanced status. Her use of portraiture to support political goals, beginning with the French invasion, prefaced her protégée Princess Elizabeth's own use of that art during her reign. Within the context of the 1544 Act of Succession and the events surrounding it, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the production and political role played by this royal portraiture and to examine not only what history can tell us about the commissioning of the portraits but what the portraits can tell us about the intentions and goals of the commissioner.

Overlooked aspects of the Salmo salar and Salmo trutta lifecycles
The salmonid lifecycle has been studied for over a 100 years. Our literature search indicated that the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) are among the most studied of fish species. By reviewing both their anadromous and non-anadromous lifecycles, we show that there is a growing body of evidence of considerable variation in many aspects of their lifecycle. However, variation in migration patterns and life history strategies are still poorly studied and not well understood, such as juvenile autumn migration, repeat spawning, marine migrations, straying and homing. Growing evidence supports a group of downstream autumn migrants in both species, which may represent as much as 25–40% of the spring class. Some males and females mature sexually as parr very early in life. They probably contribute to genetic variation and stability to populations in a changing environment and are likely very common in many rivers, but rarely considered. Information on marine migrations have been restricted by available methods, and particularly for brown trout, this may have resulted in underestimating straying and long-distance migrations. Repeat spawning is another understudied aspect of the salmonid life history but should be viewed as an opportunity to understand ecological and evolutionary dynamics. We conclude that both brown trout and Atlantic salmon appear to have aspects of their lifecycle overlooked, and that the description of their lifecycle should acknowledge the variation we observe in natural systems as well as the flexibility between strategies.
