Dr Margaret Lowenfeld was a paediatrician who became a pioneer of child psychology and psychotherapy. Her outstanding contributions sprang from her recognition that play is an important activity in children's development. She invented non-verbal techniques that enabled children to express themselves, including The Lowenfeld World Technique and Lowenfeld Mosaics. The former involved the use of sand trays and miniature toys. The child guidance clinic Lowenfeld established in the late 1920s in London's Notting Hill developed into the Institute for Child Psychology.

His research on tidal observations formed the subject of his Bakerian Lecture in 1836 and a paper to the Royal Society of 1837. In 1834 the Royal Society awarded him a Royal Medal for his work on tides. His researches into physical astronomy were directed towards simplifying methods, and introducing uniformity into the calculation of lunar and planetary perturbations. Mathematically, he was foremost among English mathematicians in adopting Laplace's doctrine of probability and with Drinkwater was the author of a joint elementary treatise on probability published in 1830 (reprinted in 1844) by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.

A deed is any document affecting title, that is, proof of ownership, of the land in question. The land may or may not have buildings upon it. Common types of deed include conveyances, mortgages, bonds, grants of easements, wills and administrations.
Lease and release was the most common method of conveying freehold property from the later seventeenth century onwards, before the introduction of the modern conveyance in the late nineteenth century. The lease was granted for a year (sometimes six months), then on the following day the lessor released their right of ownership in return for the consideration (the thing for which land was transferred from one party to another, usually, of course, a sum of money).
A quitclaim was a deed renouncing any possible right to a property. The name comes from the Latin Quietus Clamatus.
An assignment of term, or assignment to attend the inheritance, was an assignment of the remaining term of years in a mortgage to a trustee after the mortgage itself has been redeemed. An assignment of a lease is the transfer of the rights laid out in the lease to another party, usually for a consideration (a sum of money).

Sachsenhausen concentration camp was established in 1936. It was located at the edge of Berlin, which gave it a prime position among the German concentration camps: the administrative centre of all concentration camps was located in Oranienburg, and Sachsenhausen became a training centre for SS officers (who would often be sent to oversee other camps afterwards). Executions took place at Sachsenhausen, especially those of Soviet POWs. While some Jews were executed at Sachsenhausen and many died there, the Jewish inmates of the camp were relocated to Auschwitz in 1942. Sachsenhausen was not designed as a death camp; instead, the systematic mass murder of Jews was conducted primarily in camps to the east.

The London Waste Regulation Authority was brought into existence under section 10 of the Local Government Act 1985 and became a functional organisation on 1 April 1986. It had an independent regulatory role over both the public and private sectors of waste management. Its purpose was to protect public health, prevent pollution of water and improve the environment by ensuring that wastes were properly handled from the producer through all transport modes up to final disposal.
It was composed of 33 members, one elected member being nominated by each of the 32 London borough councils and the City of London. It was financed by a levy, apportioned on a population basis, on each of the authorities. It met three times a year.
An Executive Committee was responsible for major policy matters, meeting 8 times a year and it had two sub-committees, one concerned (inter alia) with considering applications for new site licences or modifications to existing site licences and the other responsible for senior staff appointments. An Urgency committee could be convened at short notice if there were vital matters requiring attention.
It was responsible for the regulation of almost all waste arising in Greater London, operating under control of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 it issued and enforced licences for waste disposal sites handling 'controlled' waste, the removal of waste deposited in breach of licensing conditions and enforcing the Control of Pollution Regulation 1980 in respect of 'Special' Waste. (Controlled waste is household, industrial and commercial waste while special waste is defined as any waste which is either a prescription only medicinal product or contains one or more scheduled substances whereby it is dangerous to life or highly inflammable.)
The LWRA regulated controlled waste by:
-
issuing site licenses, with such conditions as it considered appropriate. There were issued to operators or potential operators of waste disposal facilities in Greater London, after mandatory consultations with the Borough Councils, the National Rivers Authority and Waste Disposal Authorities concerned and discretionary consultations with other bodies such as the HSE and the LFB.
-
Modifying, refusing or revoking site licenses.
-
Monitoring each licensed site to ensure that the operator was complying with the conditions of the licence and that the activities to which the licence related did not cause pollution of water or danger to public health or become seriously detrimental to the amenities of the locality affected by these activities, taking such action to rectify unsatisfactory practices as it considered necessary, which in the last resort could mean the revocation of a licence.
-
Maintaining a register of all licences in force.
-
Prosecuting those operators not in possession of a licence or operating in breach of licence conditions.
-
Prosecuting persons depositing waste on unlicensed sites and ensuring proper removal to a licensed site, as speedily as possible of such waste.
The LWRA also regulated 'special waste' by administering a system of multi-page consignment notes which were issued to accompany all movements of these materials, to ensure their safe handling and correct disposal. Every movement of special waste was monitored and recorded and any producer, carrier or disposer who failed to comply was liable for prosecution.
The Authority also carried out a programme of regular monitoring of special waste producers to ensure that the, storage, handling and administration systems for dealing with this special waste were maintained to a high standard. Advice regarding disposal of special and hazardous substances was given by the Authority to commercial and industrial waste producers. For householders, registered charities and borough councils, the Authority operated a small scale collection service for hazardous waste.

Constance Lytton was born in 1869, the daughter of Robert, the first Earl of Lytton and Viceroy of India, and Edith Villiers. She was educated at home, in India and then in Europe where the family returned in 1880. In the 1890s Constance Lytton's attachment to a young man of a lower social class was ended by her mother while her sister Elizabeth married Gerald Balfour. Balfour and his sisters, Frances and Emily, were deeply involved in the women's suffrage movement, and influenced their new sister-in-law, but it was not until 1909 after Lytton had made contact with Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence and Annie Kenney that she joined a suffrage group: the Women's Social and Political Union. The following year, in 1910, Lytton took part in a demonstration at the House of Commons where she was arrested. Her imprisonment was made easier, however, when her identity and her poor health were discovered and she was sent to spend her sentence in the prison infirmary. Consequently, at later demonstrations she took a false name and was arrested as Jane Warton, a London seamstress. She was sentenced to fourteen days, went on hunger strike, and was forced fed eight times until her identity was again uncovered and she was immediately released. In 1910 she was appointed a paid WSPU organiser and in 1911 she was arrested once again for breaking a post office window after the failure of the Conciliation Bill, but the trial was delayed when she suffered a heart attack in custody. She was released when the poor state of her health became clear and her fine was paid anonymously. Soon afterward Lytton suffered a stroke which left her partly paralysed. Her activities from now on were concentrated on writing propaganda for the WSPU. She published a series of pamphlets and articles and a book on her experiences and those of fellow inmates with the title, 'Prisons and Prisoners'. After the cessation of militant activity at the outbreak of the First World War, Lytton began to work with Marie Stopes in the campaign to establish birth-control clinics in Britain but spent much of her time as an invalid cared for by her family. She died in 1923.
