Born in East Knoyle, Wiltshire, on October 30, 1632, Sir Christopher Wren was one of the most highly acclaimed English architects and is best remembered perhaps as the architect of St Paul’s Cathedral, London.

Educated at Wadham College, Oxford, Wren was elected a fellow of All Souls, appointed Professor of Astronomy at Gresham College, and was a founder of the Royal Society; his scientific work having been highly regarded by Isaac Newton and Blaise Pascal.

Sir Christopher passed on March 8, 1723. He rests in the south-east corner of the crypt of St Paul’s.

Exclusive: the ‘profoundly powerful’ moments that shaped Duchess of Cambridge’s children’s charity work by Camilla Tominey

It all started with secret visits the public never got to see. Newly married, and with the world’s press chronicling her every move – down to the details of her designer dresses – the Duchess of Cambridge resolved to go "below radar".

Acting as Prince William’s "plus one", rather than a fully fledged solo royal in those early days, the newest addition to the Royal family knew that she wanted to find a cause she could champion as impactfully as Diana, the Princess of Wales’s landmine campaign; it was simply a question of where to find it.

Having already announced her first patronage of Action on Addiction, a charity working with people with drug and alcohol problems, Hope House, a women-only rehabilitation centre in Clapham, south London, seemed as good a place as any to start.

It was October 2011 when the then 29-year-old Duchess paid the first of several, incognito visits in a bid to find out what had sent its clients on a downward spiral of self-destruction.

According to Rebecca Priestley, who accompanied the Duchess on the visit and would go on to spend five years as her private secretary, it played a pivotal role in her decision to put childhood at the heart of her philanthropic endeavours.

Speaking on the record for the first time, Mrs Priestley, who is now an executive coach, recalled:  "I remember going up to Anglesey, where they were living after the wedding, to have a conversation with the Duchess about her royal life."

At that point, she had the philanthropic world at her feet. She could have done anything she wanted in the charitable arena. Typically, she had put a lot of thought into it already. Addiction was an issue she was instinctively thinking about – but she was also genuinely interested in understanding what support was there and what role that played in the bigger picture of mainstream societal issues."

With the Duke having flown to the Falklands for a six–week tour of duty with his RAF search and rescue squadron, Mrs Priestley put a programme together to support the Duchess’s desire to "listen and learn"."A lot of it was behind the scenes, just talking to people and hearing where it was that they needed more help.  The one thing that united all of the women at Hope House was that the derailing had started so early on. They could trace the problems in their adult lives back to childhood."

A subsequent private visit in February 2012 to Clouds House, a treatment centre in East Knoyle in Wiltshire, served as further confirmation that the early years should be a key area of focus. But it was during a later meeting with female inmates at a detox unit at Send Prison in Woking when the penny well and truly dropped.

"It was a profoundly powerful moment,” recalled Mrs Priestley. "You go in there with this preconceived idea that these women have done things wrong, that it was their fault. Then one woman started speaking to the Duchess about her earliest memories of seeing needles on the floor of her home."

She had always thought addiction was a misunderstood issue, but after this, she became concerned that there was a pre-destiny about those affected – an inevitability about it. These women were born into it and there was very little chance of escape."

The experience set in train a sequence of events that will next week culminate in the Duchess, 39, stepping up her ambition in driving awareness and action on the impact that early childhood can have on society at large.

She will launch a new initiative through the couple’s Royal Foundation to further explore the science around early childhood, raise awareness of the issue and foster collaboration and partnerships across relevant groups.

According to Lord Hague, who became chairman of the Royal Foundation last September, the "ambitious" new project will be equal in stature to William’s £50 million Earthshot Prize, launched last year with Sir David Attenborough to find workable solutions to climate change and environmental problems.

"The Duchess truly believes this is one of the great issues of our time," said the former Tory leader. "This is the central plank of her work in the way conservation issues are for the Duke. It’s a hugely significant moment."

While politicians are often in a rush to make a difference during the comparatively short time they have in office, royals are there for life, which perhaps explains why Kate has taken 10 years to get to this point.Having been instrumental in launching the Heads Together campaign with William and Prince Harry in 2016, designed at tackling the stigma and changing the conversation on mental health, it was not until 2018 that she convened a steering group of experts to look at how cross-sector collaboration could bring about lasting change.

In January, she delivered a landmark speech after her Five Big Questions on the Under Fives survey garnered over 500,000 responses.

"People often ask why I care so passionately about the early years," the mother-of-three said.

"Many mistakenly believe that my interest stems from having children of my own. While of course I care hugely about their start in life, this ultimately sells the issue short. If we only expect people to take an interest in the early years when they have children, we are not only too late for them, we are underestimating the huge role others can play in shaping our most formative years, too."

Pointing out that the social cost of late intervention has been estimated to be over £17 billion a year, she added: "The early years are therefore not simply just about how we raise our children. They are in fact about how we raise the next generation of adults. They are about the society we will become."

According to Eamon McCrory, Professor of Developmental Neuroscience and Psychopathology at University College London, the Duchess "has a vision of how she can help transform how we as a society view and invest in the early years for the benefit of society".

Describing her interest in "the role the brain shapes our early experiences and how that sets us on a path to adult life", he explained: "When you look at very young babies and infants, on the surface they don’t appear to be engaging in complex emotions so there's a tendency to underestimate the millions of synapses that are being formed every minute. But science is telling us we have to look under the bonnet.

"There’s no question that for the Duchess, this is a lifetime piece of work. The last five years laid the foundations, now we are entering a more proactive phase.” Described by one source as “thoughtful, professional and determined to do a good job,” there is a sense that Kate has never been in it for the early wins, but the long haul.

As one well-placed insider put it: "She took the job very seriously right from the very beginning. She continues to want to get it right and do her very best - for the institution, for William and the importance of the work she’s doing.

"She doesn't just want to rock up for a picture opportunity, which is why she used to get quite frustrated with all the early focus on what she was wearing. She really cares about this stuff."

Another source said she was "much more fun" than people give her credit for, pointing out how she has grown in confidence having found a cause that she is not only passionate about - but also well informed.

As Lord Hague put it: "She’s been reading the books and had trustees reading the books. People assume her interest in the early years is because she has children – actually it comes from all the adults she’s met." The other key influence has been Kate’s own idyllic childhood.

Brought up in leafy Bucklebury in West Berkshire by her entrepreneur parents Michael and Carole Middleton, pictured below with the royal family, the Duchess has never made any secret of how fortunate she has been to be brought up in a loving and supportive family.

"She always recognised that she benefited from such a great start in life," added Mrs Priestley.

"That’s why sport and the outdoors has always been a key theme for her. She was always asking how those sorts of experiences could be made accessible to others."

For Dame Benny Refson, president of the children’s mental health charity Place2Be, where the Duchess has been patron since 2013, Kate’s grounded upbringing has proved an asset.

“The Duchess listens and people feel heard and valued. It’s nothing to do with privilege. The groups she meets in challenging areas in London don't look at what she's wearing. What makes a difference is that an important person has shown a genuine interest in them. She can relate without passing judgement, which is so important."

Having started out as a reticent public speaker, the Duchess has finally found her voice – and next week she will have a lot more to say.

CHRITOPHER WREN

Sir christoper wren was one of the most highly acclaimed English architects in history, as well as an anatomist, astronomer, geometry, and mathematician physicist. Born 20th October 1632, in east knoyle and died 25th February 1723 in st James’s, London. We was then buried 16th March 1723 in St. Paul’s cathedral, London. He had 5 children (William wren, Christopher wren jr, Gilbert wren, Jane wren and Christopher wren.) he also has a few books about himself such as micrographia, the architectural drawings is sir Christopher wren, the anatomy of the brain, sir Christopher wren: the designer, the attribute of eternal and places of worship. The younger Christopher was trained by his father to be an architect. It was this Christopher that supervised the topping out ceremony of St. Paul’s in 1710 and wrote the famous parentalia, or memoirs of the family of the wrens. Faith wren died of smallpox on 3rd September 1675. Wren was born in east knoyle in in Wiltshire, the only surviving son of Christopher wren the elder, (1589-1658) and Mary cox, the only child of the Wiltshire squire Robert cox from fontill bishop. Christopher sr. Was at that time the rector of east knoyle and later dean of Windsor. It was while they were living at east knoyle that all children were born; Mary, Catherine and Susan were all born 1628 but then several children were born who died within a few weeks of their birth. Their son Christopher was born in 1632then, two years later, another daughter called Elizabeth was born. Mary must have died shortly after the birth of Elizabeth, although there does not appear to be any surviving record of the date. Through Mary cox, however the family became well off financially for, as the only heir, she had inherited her fathers estate. As a child wren seemed consumptive although a sickly child, he would survive into old age. He was first taught at home by a private tutor and his father. Little is known of wrens schooling thereafter, during dangerous times when his fathers royal associations would have required the family to keep a very low profile from the ruling parliamentary authorities. It was a tough time in his life, but one which would go on to have a significant impact upon his later works. The story that he was at west minister school between 1641 and 1646 is sub stained. Some of wrens youthful exercises preserved or recorded showed that he received a thorough grounding in Latin and also learned to draw.

Structures he had designed: St. Paul’s cathedral, monument of the great fire of London, Kensington palace, temple bar gate, 11 Downing Street, old St. Paul’s cathedral, royal observatory, the sheldonian theatre, Marlborough house, st Mary le bow, st Stephen walnrook, st brides church, royal hospital Chelsea, Tom tower, st clement Danes church, st Mary aldermanbury, wren library, Saint Dunstan in the east church, st Magnus the martyr, St. James’s Piccadilly, wren building, Christchurch greyfriars church, st Mary aldermary, Pembroke college chapel, st Mildred bread street, st Lawrence Jewry c of e, All Hallows Lombard street, st swithin London stone, st Vedast alias foster, the guild church of Saint Martin, st benet Welsh church Paul’s, st benet grace church, st antholin budge row, st Clements church, st Michael, Cornhill, st Michael queenhithe, st Michael paternoster, st Mildred poultry, st James garlickhyth, st Andrew Holborn, st Margaret’s church, All Hallows’ the great, st Michael crooked lane, All Hallows, bread street, wren house, st Dionis backchurch, st Stephen Coleman street, st Christopher le stocks, st Mary magdalen, st olave old Jewry, st bartholomew by the exchange.

The wren building, the main building at the college of William and Mary, Virginia, has been attributed to wren. By 1669, wrens career was well established and it may have been his appointment as surveyor of the kings works in early 1669 that persuaded him that he could finally afford to take a wife. In 1669, the 37 year old wren married his childhood neighbour the 33 year old faith cog hill, little is known about faith.

In wrens age, the profession of architect as understood today did not exist. Since the early years of the 17th century it was not unusual for well educated young men to take up architecture as a gentlemanly activity, a persuit widely accepted as a branch of applied mathematics. This is implicit in the writings of vitruvius and explicit in such 16th century authors as John Dee and Leonard digges. When wren was a student at oxford, he became familiar with vitruvius in 1668, building work began on wrens designs for Emmanuel college chapel in Cambridge and the garden in trinity in Oxford. In English medieval tradition, buildings had been constructed to the needs of the patron and the suggestions of buildings professionals, such as master carpenters or master bricklayers. Through the royal society and his use of optics, the king noticed wrens works. Wren had mastered and thoroughly understood the principles of architecture unlike several of his colleagues, who regarded it as a set of rules and formulations for design, he had acquired, understood and exploited the necessary combination of reason and intuition, experience and imagination. Wrens first architectural project was the chapel of Pembroke college in Cambridge, which his uncle Matthew wren, the bishop of Ely, asked him to design in 1663. The second was the design of the theatre in Oxford completed in 1668.

I like wren as he has created a huge amount of designs and some have been very successful and now are very famous.

Today we remember the passing of Phil Lynott who died on January 4, 1986 in Salisbury District Hospital, England

Philip Parris Lynott was an Irish musician and songwriter. His most commercially successful group was Thin Lizzy, of which he was a founding member, the principal songwriter, lead vocalist and bassist.

He was known for his imaginative lyrical contributions including working class tales and numerous characters drawn from personal influences and Celtic culture.

Lynott was born in the West Midlands of England, but grew up in Dublin with his grandparents. He remained close to his mother, Philomena, throughout his life. He fronted several bands as a lead vocalist, including Skid Row alongside Gary Moore, before learning the bass guitar and forming Thin Lizzy in 1969. After initial success with "Whiskey in the Jar", the band had several hits in the mid-1970s such as "The Boys Are Back in Town", "Jailbreak" and "Waiting for an Alibi", and became a popular live attraction combining Lynott's vocal and songwriting skills with dual lead guitars. Towards the end of the 1970s, Lynott embarked upon a solo career, published two books of poetry, and after Thin Lizzy disbanded, he assembled and fronted the band Grand Slam, of which he was the leader until it folded in 1985.

Following Thin Lizzy, Lynott increasingly suffered drug-related problems, particularly an addiction to heroin. In 1985, he had a final chart success with Moore, "Out in the Fields", followed by the minor hit "Nineteen", before his death in 1986. He remains a popular figure in the rock world, and in 2005, a statue in his memory was erected in Dublin.

Lynott's last years were heavily affected by drug and alcohol dependency, leading to his collapse on 25 December 1985 at his home in Kew. He was discovered by his mother, who was not aware of his dependence on heroin. She contacted his wife, Caroline, who knew about it and immediately identified the problem as serious. After Caroline drove him to a drug clinic at Clouds House in East Knoyle, near Shaftesbury, he was taken to Salisbury Infirmary where he was diagnosed as suffering from septicaemia. Although he regained consciousness enough to speak to his mother, his condition worsened by the start of the new year and he was put on a ventilator. He died of pneumonia and heart failure due to septicaemia in the hospital's intensive care unit on 4 January 1986, at the age of 36.

Lynott's funeral was held at St Elizabeth's Church, Richmond on January 9, with most of Thin Lizzy's ex-members in attendance, followed by a second service at Howth Parish Church on January 11. He was buried in St Fintan's Cemetery, Sutton, Dublin.

#UnDíaComoHoy: 20 de octubre en la historia

El 20 de octubre es el día 292º día del año. Quedan 72 días para finalizar el año. Estos son algunos de los eventos más destacados que ocurrieron un día como hoy 20 de octubre.

-Hoy se celebra el Día Internacional del Chef, reconocimiento propuesto por la Asociación Mundial Culinaria “WACS” ( World Association of Chefs’ Societies), con el fin de crear una conciencia extendida de la carrera y rendirle un homenaje a todos los profesionales dedicados al arte de la cocina, ¡Feliz día a todos!

-Además se conmemora el Día Mundial de la Osteoporosis. Este día nace con el objetivo de difundir información sobre esta enfermedad, y crear conciencia desde temprana edad para su prevención. La Osteoporosis es una enfermedad del metabolismo del hueso que se caracteriza por la disminución de la masa ósea y deterioro de la arquitectura ósea, que conducen a la fragilidad del hueso con un consecuente incremento del riesgo de fracturas. Una de las armas que tenemos para prevenir esta enfermedad es el fortalecimiento óseo en edades tempranas, de esta manera el riesgo de padecer Osteoporosis en la adultez se reduce un 50 %. Si bien los cuidados deberían comenzar en la infancia es imprescindible reforzarlos después de los 50 años.

-1600: en Japón tiene lugar la Batalla de Sekigahara, en la que Leyasu Tokugawa atacó a los generales más fieles a Hideyori, a quienes derrotó, lo que le permitió hacerse con el control de la ciudad de Kyoto y reclamar su autoridad sobre todos los Daimyo (soberano feudal) del país. Leyasu recibió del emperador el título de shogun en 1603 y obtuvo de esta forma el respaldo oficial a su poder. En 1605 legó el título de shogun a su hijo Hidetada y, aunque se retiró al castillo de Sumpu en Suruga, no desapareció por completo de la escena política, ya que mantuvo el control absoluto sobre algunas parcelas de la política nacional, especialmente en lo referente a las relaciones exteriores. En 1614 y 1615 dirigió dos ataques contra el castillo de Osaka, el cuartel general de Hideyori. Tras la muerte de éste en uno de los combates, todo Japón pasó a estar bajo el poder de los Tokugawa, iniciando el Shogunato Tokugawa que gobernó el país hasta 1867, es decir, durante 250 años. Leyasu murió el 1 de junio de 1616 en el castillo de Sumpu. Fue enterrado en Nikkio, donde por un decreto imperial comenzó a ser venerado como Tosho Daigongen, una manifestación de Buda.
