Francis Ingram-Seymour-Conway, 2nd Marquess of Hertford, KG, PC, PC (Ire) (12 February 1743 – 17 June 1822), styled The Honourable Francis Seymour-Conway until 1750, Viscount Beauchamp between 1750 and 1793, and Earl of Yarmouth between 1793 and 1794, was a British peer and politician. He held seats in the Irish House of Commons from 1761 to 1776 and in the British House of Commons from 1766 to 1794. He served as Chief Secretary for Ireland under his father. He subsequently held positions in the Royal Household, including serving as Lord Chamberlain between 1812 and 1822.
Background and education
A member of the Seymour family headed by the Duke of Somerset, Hertford was the eldest son of Francis Seymour-Conway, 1st Marquess of Hertford, and Lady Isabella Fitzroy, daughter of Charles FitzRoy, 2nd Duke of Grafton, born on 12 January 1743 in London. He was the elder brother of Lord Robert Seymour and Lord Hugh Seymour. He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford.
Political career
In 1761, Hertford entered the Irish House of Commons for Lisburn, and later represented County Antrim between 1768 and 1776. He was sworn of the Irish Privy Council in 1775, and served as Chief Secretary for Ireland between 1765 and 1766 to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, his father. In 1766, he entered the British House of Commons as Member of Parliament for Lostwithiel, changing in 1768 to represent Orford until he succeeded his father in 1794.
In 1783, Hertford was defied by his tenants in Lisburn. They elected Todd Jones, a captain in the Irish Volunteer movement, on a platform calling for the independence and reform of the Irish parliament. In 1790, with Jones arguing that reform was impossible without Catholic Emancipaton, Hertford's nominees regained parliamentary control of the borough.
Hertford was himself sympathetic to the case for Catholic "relief" (in May 1778 he declared himself strongly in favour of the repeal of the penal acts affecting Roman Catholics) and in "A Letter to the First Company of Belfast Volunteers", published in Dublin, 1782, he endorsed the case for Ireland's legislative independence. He did not, however, embrace the call for parliamentary reform (abolition of the proprietary boroughs and a broader franchise) and he was averse to any further assertion of Irish independence.
Hertford served under Lord North, firstly as a Lord of the Treasury from 1774, and then from 1780 as Cofferer of the Household, a post he held until its abolishment in 1782. In 1780 he was also sworn of the British Privy Council. He remained out of office until 1804, when he was made Master of the Horse by William Pitt the Younger. He continued in this position until Pitt's death in 1806 and later served under Spencer Perceval and Lord Liverpool as Lord Chamberlain of the Household between 1812 and 1821.
Apart from his political career Hertford was also Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire between 1816 and 1822, and Governor of County Antrim. In 1807 he was appointed a Knight of the Garter.
Shortly before his death, he was refused a dukedom by Lord Liverpool. In 1829, he ordered MPs beholden to him to vote for the Roman Catholic Relief Act which finally removed the Protestant monopoly on Parliament.
Family
Lord Hertford married, firstly, the Hon. Alice Elizabeth Windsor, daughter of Herbert Windsor, 2nd Viscount Windsor, on 4 February 1768. After her death in 1772 he married, secondly, the Hon. Isabella Anne Ingram, daughter of Charles Ingram, 9th Viscount of Irvine and Frances Shepherd, on 20 May 1776. She was a mistress of George IV. On the death of his mother-in-law in 1807, he and his wife added the surname Ingram to their own, due to the fortune they inherited from her. Lord Hertford died in London in June 1822, aged 79, and was succeeded by his son from his second marriage, Francis. The Marchioness of Hertford died in April 1834.

The 2021–22 FA WSL season (also known as the Barclays FA Women's Super League for sponsorship reasons) was the eleventh season of the FA Women's Super League (WSL) since it was formed in 2010. It was the fourth season after the rebranding of the four highest levels in English women's football.
On 4 May 2022, Birmingham City were relegated following a 6–0 defeat away at Manchester City with one game remaining. Members of the WSL since it was founded in 2011, it ended Birmingham's twenty-year stint as a top-flight club having last been promoted as the 2001–02 FA Women's Premier League Northern Division champions.
Chelsea successfully defended the title by beating Manchester United 4–2 in the final matchday, winning their third consecutive and fifth overall WSL title.
Teams
Twelve teams contested the 2021–22 FA WSL season. At the end of the previous season, Bristol City were relegated after four seasons in the WSL while Leicester City were promoted for the first time.
Stadium changes
Two teams changed home ground prior to the start of the season: Birmingham City relocated from Damson Park to St Andrew's, home of the team's male affiliate since 1906. Leicester City prepared for their maiden WSL season by moving to their parent club's main stadium, King Power Stadium, with Burton Albion's Pirelli Stadium serving as backup when fixtures clash with Leicester's men's side.

Margaret Wallace (born May 30, 1967) is an American entrepreneur, gaming and media professional. In 2009, she co-founded Playmatics with Nicholas Fortugno in New York, New York. The company focuses on bringing new kinds of immersive experiences to casual gamers. In 2006, she was named one of the hundred most influential women in the game industry.
Education
While in high school, Wallace participated in the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Scholarship, which allows students to study a year abroad in Germany. Under the scholarship, she attended a one-month language and cultural preparation course at The Experiment in International Living (now World Learning) in Brattleboro, Vermont and spent her final year of high school at the Gymnasium Mellendorf in Mellendorf, Lower Saxony, Germany.
As an undergraduate, she attended Boston University, where she studied Communication and Philosophy and received a Bachelor of Science with Distinction in 1989. Wallace subsequently studied Communication and Cultural Theory at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, earning an MA in 1996.
Career
After Boston, Wallace moved to San Francisco, California, where she became professionally involved in the Internet and gaming, particularly casual games.
PF.Magic
In 1996, Wallace joined PF Magic, a video game developer founded in 1991 and located in San Francisco, CA. Though it developed other types of video games, PF.Magic was arguably best known for its virtual pet games, such as Dogz, Catz, and Oddballz; Wallace participated in the development of:
Catz II: Your Virtual Petz (1997)
Dogz 2: Your Virtual Petz (1997)
Oddballz: Your Wacky Computer Petz (1996)
The Petz Web Fun Pack
Mindscape
After Mindscape, Inc.’s acquisition of PF.Magic in early 1998, Wallace continued employment with the company’s online content group. The Learning Company (TLC) acquired Mindscape, Inc. in March 1998 for $150 million. Mattel soon purchased TLC in 1999 for $3.8 billion, renaming it "Mattel Interactive".
The copyright on the Petz, Oddballz and Babyz titles was eventually acquired by Ubisoft. Currently, Petz is Ubisoft's number six top-selling brand, having sold over thirteen million units to date.
Shockwave.com
In 1999, Wallace joined Shockwave.com—then operating under its early name, Shockrave.com. There she produced some of the company's most popular titles, including Shockwave Tetris, Blix, Shockwave Jigsaw Puzzles, and content for Photo Greetings and Jigsaw Puzzle Maker.
For the 2000 Shockwave Tetris game, Wallace worked closely with Blue Planet Software on staying true to the Tetris brand. She also incorporated a techno soundtrack to this version of Tetris, having a techno version of the Tetris theme song composed. She also worked with Astralwerks Records who provided a track from Q-Burns Abstract Message called "Feng Shui" for the game. Beatnik, Inc. was the primary music provider for this version of Tetris. The game had a unique sonified accompaniment that is customized to a player's individual gameplay and skill level.
Skunk Studios
In 2001, Wallace went on to Co-Found and become chief executive officer of Skunk Studios. Formed by all former employees of Shockwave.com, Skunk Studios was one of the first to call itself a casual game company. Skunk Studios is best known for titles including:
Varmintz
QBeez
QBeez 2
Gutterball
Gutterball 2
Tennis Titans
Tennis Titans 2
Mah Jong Adventures
Spelvin
Word Up
Sveerz
Tamale Loco: Rumble in the Desert II
Rebel Monkey
In 2007, Wallace cofounded and become chief executive officer of Rebel Monkey Inc., a New York City-based entertainment company focused on providing new kinds of real-time immersive play for casual gamers. The company was cofounded with Nicholas Fortugno, lead designer behind the original Diner Dash game brand. In October 2007, the company secured an initial round of investment from Redpoint Ventures. In early 2009, Rebel Monkey announced the launch of casual Massively multiplayer online game CampFu and the Monkey Wrench gaming platform on which it is built.
CampFu
CampFu is an online virtual world with a summer camp theme. Emphasizing collaborative team play and aimed at the teenaged demographic, CampFu officially launched on March 17, 2009, after a beta stage that began in February of the same year. CampFu is free to play, but users can access premium content by purchasing in-world currency called FuCash and/or a VIP membership subscription. Users can also earn Tickets, which can be exchanged for clothing items, by playing CampFu games. Games currently playable include:
Veg-Out
WordMob
Fungeez
Critter Smackdown
Rebel Monkey Inc. closed permanently after it failed to secure subsequent funding during the economic downturn in Summer 2009.
Playmatics
In September 2009, Wallace and Nick Fortugno started a new company focused on game design and development called Playmatics, LLC. In 2010, Playmatics created the Fortugno-designed interactive comic "The Interrogation" for the television series Breaking Bad. The game went on to be recognized for a CableFAX Best of the Web award. Other titles by Playmatics include Disney's The Kingdom Keepers "Race to Save the Magic."
Shadow Government, Inc.
In 2011, Wallace and Fortugno co-founded Shadow Government, Inc along with Philippe Trawnika. Shadow Government, Inc. is dedicated to bringing new forms of social gaming based on gamifying real countries, systems, and worldwide events.

John Ingram Lockhart (1812–1889) was an English writer and translator. He is known also for his involvement in radical politics.
Life
He was son of James Lockhart, born in Hawkshead, at that time in Lancashire. Brought up in Haarlem, he encouraged his school friend Nicolaas Beets to translate Lord Byron. They also read Walter Scott and Laurence Sterne together. Lockhart in 1877 published a translation of a tale from Beets's 1839 work Camera Obscura, as "The Leyden Eel-bobber".
A Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, as his father was, in 1838 Lockhart was listed at the same address, Lanhams in Berkshire. In 1839 he contested as a radical candidate, nominated by John Gibbs. Charles John Baillie Hamilton was elected, Lockhart coming second ahead of George Nugent-Grenville, 2nd Baron Nugent. In 1846, when Donald Maclean who was a sitting MP for Oxford suffered bankruptcy, he put himself forward as a replacement, on a policy platform of six points: (a) abolition of church rates, (b) change in the Poor Laws, (c) abolition of primogeniture, (d) dissolution of the church courts, (e) extension of suffrage, and (f) full civil and religious liberty. He signed from Pomona Place, Fulham. His chances as a prospective candidate were affected by newspaper reports of a fight in a third-class railway carriage, which he had entered in a party with the Rev. William Langley and others.
Lockhart spoke at a broad-based reform meeting in London in March 1852. He was then a Chartist candidate in the 1852 general election for , where two Liberals were elected. At a disorderly meeting in November 1853 at the National Hall, Holborn, for an anniversary of the November uprising, supporters of George Julian Harney and Lockhart clashed to try to gain the chair. In 1855 Lockhart was a speaker for the National Reform League, in July for the State Reform Association, and in December of that year he spoke at a meeting chaired by Francis Bennoch on the Bank Charter Act.
In February 1857 Lockhart chaired a meeting against the Second Opium War; he was on the platform for a March meeting against the Opium War and Anglo-Persian War. After the watershed general election of March–April 1857, perceived to have purged from parliament radicals including John Bright, Richard Cobden and Thomas Milner Gibson, he spoke with Bronterre O'Brien at a London meeting at the Royal British Institution off City Road, chaired by Samuel Lucas. He outlined a political programme of (a) manhood suffrage, (b) more equal distribution of electors in the population, (c) no property qualification for MPs, (d) vote by ballot, and (e) triennial parliaments.
In 1862 Lockhart was in bankruptcy proceedings, as a practitioner of homoeopathy and hydropathy. At the time of his death, he was described as a familiar figure in the British Museum Reading Room.
