Some details about the Web Author

John Stewart Plant BSc PhD MBCS MInstP CITP has worked in University Computing Departments since 1976 and, before that, in University Physics Departments and nuclear Research Institutes in England, Australia and France. He has published variously in the academic literature since 1968, mainly in scientific journals, such as on the atomic structure and quantum chemistry of vitamin B6. A recent article about the Plant name is in the journal Nomina (ISSN 0141-6340) of the Society for Name Studies in Britain and Ireland (S.N.S.B.I.):-
This had led on to a reassessment of the origins of the Plantagenet name, as described in:-

MIDI


The Akademie MIDI derives from a foundation in Paris in 1907 to promote cultural understanding between nations. It has over 500 members from around the world. Prominent members have included Albert Einstein, the American Presidents Franklin D Roosevelt and John F Kennedy, the French President Pompidou, the artist Kathe Kollwitz, Cardinal Roncali (later Pope John XXIII), Albert Schweitzer ... and many Nobel Prize winners .....

Its current priorities include:

(c) Appeal to the international scientific world ... to refrain from putting into use any new discoveries or developments, unless they are designed to help man ...
(f) To support these objectives by ... publishing any conclusions through universities, ... the mass media, etc.

The Lofsensic Ursinius Order has supposed origins from Duke Ursinius von Loev, nominated Governor of Cleve in 653AD, and it is politically, ideologically, religiously and racially neutral. Its Knights and Dames, such as the British Prince Charles, are expected to respect the UN charter on human rights, help the weak and protect nature (the Umwelt).
