Paddleboarder/surfer
• Credited with introducing the Unlimited sport of paddle boarding to the East Coast and Florida in 1997. Until then, the sport existed in the 10'6 class exclusive only to Life Guards races and short sprint races at surf contests in the 1960s.
• Created the Key West Classic – 1998 - The Original East Coast Paddleboard Championships ~ The East Coast's longest continuing annual paddleboard race.
• Established the Florida State Paddleboard Championships in 1998 as part of the annual Easter Surfing Festival in Cocoa Beach in partnership with surfing legend Dick Catri. The first participants included Tim Ritter and Derek Levy and Mark Levy of the Southern California Paddleboard Club. Notable racers since include World Champion Ryan Butcher from South Africa 2003 and 8-time Molokai Winner, Jamie Mitchell from Australia 2007.
• Created the first of many "Full Moon" paddles from Cuba to the US, in 2000, in partnership with Quicksilver. Brought what was at that time some of the best paddlers in the sport together to attempt a paddle to Cuba from Key West against the Gulf Stream. Notables included World Champion Tim Gair, Gene Rink, Guy Pere, Mike Takahashi, Dale Hope, and The Hennessey Expedition Team through Tim Ritter & JP Cruz. After paddling for 22-plus hours in the relay with three teams, the boat captains called the expedition in great protest due to safety and fuel concerns. Derek Levy, Mike Lee, and Jeff Horn, all of the Southern California Paddleboard Club, and O'Shaughnessy got back on their boards and paddled back 105 miles after only a day and a half of rest, they established a Guinness World Record by being the first and fastest to cross what is known as the "Florida Straits," from Havana Harbor to the southernmost buoy of the United States in Key West. The 19 hours and 19 minutes were set, which is still the standing Guinness World Record for the fastest crossing of the Florida Straits. This paddle was considered a revival of the classic Ultra Paddles.
• Only person to paddle from Cuba to the USA three separate times.
• Executive Produced "BIG BLUE RIVER" a made-for-television documentary film. This was the first ever paddleboard film made which was directed by his wife Leslie ("Leslie Rules") Windram O'Shaughnessy. A classic tale of first Cuba to USA adventure, capturing the sport as it was transforming from the underground to the mainstream.
• In 2001, an O'Shaughnessy-lead team went back to conquer the BIG BLUE RIVER, paddling 112 miles in the relay, escorted by Hawaiian Tropic's 80-foot sailing yacht "Princess Sterling." That team consisted of all-Florida paddlers; Rob Delaune and Craig Snell of Key West and Jim McCrady of Fort Lauderdale. At that time, this was considered the longest relay of its kind in the sport of paddle boarding. Time on this paddle was 20 hours and 2 minutes.
• Organized the Millennium Woman Paddle in conjunction with a four-team relay from Cuba known as the "Full Moon Cuba Paddle."
This included an International team from England with David Smart, Jason DeGroot, Jimmy McKenzie and Monty Young; The Leslie Rules Team from Clearwater Beach with JP Atherholt, Skip Maxwell, John Sedely and Jack Hunsucker ; The Millennium Woman Team of Aline Patterson, Hayley Bateup (Australia), Nikki Mocke (South Africa) and Jenna Worlock (South Africa); and the Hurricane Team of Brian Bencie (Delray Beach), Jay Mays (Ormond Beach), Ryan Butcher (South Africa) and O'Shaughnessy. This paddle was done in 8–14 foot, wind-swept seas. GPS readings counted 142 miles with a rum-line distance of 112. The International/English Team did not finish.

The 3,000 billion toman embezzlement scandal in Iran (also 2,800 billion embezzlement; approximately US$943.5 million) was a corruption scandal involving the use of forged documents to obtain credit from at least seven Iranian state and private banks to purchase recently privatized state-owned companies. The fraud reportedly extended over a four-year period, but became more serious in the months before the scandal broke in September 2011. According to Iranian newspapers, Iranian businessman Mahafarid Amir Khosravi (also known as Amir-Mansour Aria) masterminded the scam, and as of late October 2011, at least 67 people have been interrogated and 31 of them have been arrested, with Aria being executed in 2014.
Mostafa Pour Mohammadi, the head of a judicial investigations unit, has called the case "the most unprecedented financial corruption case in the history of Iran." The scandal has also been called "politically sensitive", involving Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, a close aide to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, opposed by conservatives.
Overview
According to Iranian government newspapers and TV channels, the fraud was planned within seven state-owned and private banks, including Saderat Bank of Iran, and is the largest corruption scandal in Iranian history. The fraud was first identified at Bank Melli, Iran's largest commercial bank.
According to The New York Times and The Washington Post, the embezzlement was a "scheme to use forged documents or letters of credit to acquire assets, "including major state-owned companies" or "privatized government assets", (such as the Khuzestan Steel Company, a major steel producer) at one of Iran's largest banks, Bank Saderat.
Iranian state prosecutor Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje'i said 19 people had been arrested for being involved in the embezzlement scandal. The Washington Post reports that 22 suspects, "including businessmen and bank officials" have been arrested, and the chiefs of two banks have been dismissed. On 27 September 2011, Mahomud-Reza Khavari abruptly resigned as the managing director of Bank Melli and fled to Canada after the bank was implicated in the fraud. However, a spokesman for the bank stated that Khavari had gone to Canada for "ordinary business reasons". According to the Globe and Mail, Mahmoud Reza Khavari owned a $3 million house in Toronto under his own name, and according to Iran News Update, Khavari allegedly acquired Canadian citizenship in 2005.
The investigation determined that businessman Mahafarid Amir Khosravi had masterminded the scheme, with his Aria Investment Development Company being the primary recipient of the loans. Khosravi was convicted of embezzlement, money laundering, and bribery. He and three of his closest associates received the death penalty in July 2012. A total of 39 people were convicted of fraud in the case. On 24 May 2014, Khosravi was executed by hanging, while Khavari remains a fugitive. However, Khosravi’s lawyer said that he was made unaware of Khosravi’s execution, according to the IB Times. According to the BBC, the Iranian chief prosecutor said that two other defendants were sentenced to life in prison, whereas 33 more are set to receive prison sentences as high as 35 years.
Reaction
Supreme Leader
On 3 October 2011, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told the viewers of Iranian state TV, "People should know all these (responsible) will be pursued. ... God willing, the traitorous hands will be cut." The leader also stated the media should not use the case to "strike at officials."
Parliament
The speaker of the Iranian parliament, Ali Larijani, said that all three branches of the government were determined to deal with the recent banking scandal.
Ahmad Tavakkoli, a member of parliament, said on 18 September 2011 that the embezzlement of 28 trillion rials (3,000 billion toman) is an intolerable scandal, adding that if administration officials are not able to handle the affairs, they should step down. In addition, he said that a number of members of parliament have introduced a motion, which envisages the establishment of a special committee to pursue the embezzlement case. With reference to top ranking Iranian government officials, the judiciary mentioned earlier that such a high level of corruption couldn’t have occurred without the support of various people, according to the Reuters report.
According to Al Jazeera, a defendant argued that senior officials associated with the scandal had walked away, while individuals with low-level involvement had been intensely prosecuted by the judiciary.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
On 16 September 2011, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rejected the accusations against some of his administration's officials. Conservative critics of Ahmadinejad have accused his close aide, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei (whom the conservatives strongly oppose) of having connections with Amir-Mansour Aria. According to CNN, the allegation linked to the president concerning the embezzlement of over $2.5 billion is one out of many allegations by Islamists.

Coffee extraction occurs when hot water is poured over coffee grounds, causing desirable compounds such as caffeine, carbohydrates, lipids, melanoidins and acids to be extracted from the grounds. The degree to which extraction occurs depends on a number of factors, such as water temperature, brewing time, grind fineness, and quantity of grounds.
Definitions
Brew ratio
Brew ratio describes the ratio of coffee to water, by mass.
Strength
Also known as solubles concentration, strength refers to the percentage of dissolved solids per unit of liquid in the final beverage. A higher concentration of solubles is associated with a stronger beverage, and lower concentration with a weaker, more "watery", beverage.
Strength varies between coffee beverage types; for most it ranges from 1.15% and 1.35%. Ristretto, one of the strongest traditional coffee drinks, can contain up to 0.75 g of solubles per 15 gram serving (over 5% of total volume), making it more than four times as strong as the typical coffee beverage. Strength can also vary to a significant degree between coffee grown in different regions.
As the degree of extraction increases, strength increases, resulting in a beverage that is darker in color and oilier in terms of mouthfeel – however, this can also vary by amount of suspended solids (very small grinds, so-called "fines"), particularly in French press brewing.
As extraction time increases, the risk of unwanted solubles – often associated with overwhelming bitterness – being extracted also increases. If yield is held constant, strength is determined primarily by brewing ratio.
Caffeine is extracted early in the brewing process, so longer extraction does not result in significantly more caffeinated coffee.
Adding water to a drink after brewing changes strength, but not yield (yield is determined by the amount of water initially present during brewing). An Americano only differs from an espresso in strength – it is traditionally diluted after brewing to a strength below 1.5% (also resulting in the removal of crema).
Extraction yield
Extraction yield refers to the solubles dissolved during brewing. This is often expressed as a percentage of the coffee's mass. It is also known as solubles yield or simply extraction. The extraction yield percentage describes the mass transferred from coffee grounds to water, expressed as a percentage of the initial mass of the grounds. It is given by the following:where is the extraction yield expressed as a percentage, is the total dissolved solids expressed as a percentage of the final beverage, is the mass of the grounds in grams, and is the water's mass in grams. This means that an extraction yield of 20% can be obtained by brewing 18 grams of coffee, resulting a 36-gram final beverage with a of 10%. Yield can also be expressed as total dissolved solids, or parts-per-million (ppm).
Achieving desired extraction
Under- and over-extraction
An extraction yield of 18% to 22% is desirable for most traditional coffee beverages.
Yields of under 18% are considered under-extracted, or under-developed – desirable compounds have not been extracted to the fullest. The resulting beverage is unbalanced, and often associated with a predominantly sour taste – acids are extracted early in the brewing process, while balancing compounds such as sugars and bitter substances are extracted later.
Yields of over 22% are considered over-extracted and are often associated with a predominant bitterness – bitter compounds are extracted after acids and sugars have largely dissolved. However, in certain situations where advanced brewing equipment is involved, yields surpassing 22% can be achieved, absent the characteristic bitterness.
Brew ratios
A brewing control chart can be used to control a beverage's degree of extraction and strength. The optimal ratio between extraction and strength is represented by a rectangle in the center of the chart – within that area, coffee is neither over- nor under-extracted, and neither too strong nor weak. At any point along the diagonal line plotted on the chart, extraction and strength are directly proportional.
The following describes the relationship between strength and brew ratio.where is the total dissolved solids expressed as a percentage of the mass of the grounds, is the volume of the water used, and is the mass of the grounds. In other words, the strength of a beverage is the product of the brew ratio and the extraction percentage.
Common brewing standards worldwide
An extraction yield of 18% to 22% and a strength of 1.15% to 1.35% is considered typical in North America. In Nordic countries, the ideal strength is typically considered to be 1.30% to 1.50%. For European countries, 1.20% to 1.45%.
Increasing or decreasing extraction yield
Yields depend primarily on temperature, brew time, and grind size, and brewing method. Yield is inversely proportional to grind size; a smaller grain size produces more surface area, and faster extraction. A longer brewing time results in a higher yield.
French press coffee is often brewed from coarsely-ground grinds, with a brew time of 3–4 minutes. Filter coffee is associated with a smaller grain size and shorter brew time. Espresso is made with very finely ground coffee with a brew time of 20–30 seconds.
Methods
Extraction rates vary between brewing methods. For immersion brewing methods, such as press pot, and vacuum brewing, extraction takes place slowly. Turkish coffee is brewed with extremely finely-ground coffee that is left suspended in the final beverage.
Some brewing methods soak a column of grounds, such as pour-over, espresso, and percolation. In the espresso method, water can saturate the column unevenly from bottom to top, resulting in uneven extraction.
Once the ideal yield has been reached, the grounds must be removed from the water, halting extraction. For this reason, coffee is commonly removed from the brewing chamber of a French press after extraction has occurred. Percolators are notoriously prone to over-extraction, due to a design feature that causes coffee to pass through a basket of grounds multiple times.
Coffee may be intentionally over-extracted to achieve increase strength while reducing the amount of ground coffee required. However, this often results in a more bitter, less full-bodied beverage.
Temperature
Water temperature can affect the degree to which desirable solubles are extracted. A commonly recommended brewing temperature for traditional coffee beverages is 91–94 °C (195–202 °F), which facilitates full extraction of desired compounds. To achieve this temperature, water is often briefly let to come off the boil before brewing. Heat loss during brewing may also occur – in the manual pour-over method, the mixture of coffee grounds and water, or slurry, is notoriously prone to heat loss, and high temperatures can be difficult to maintain.
The impact of transient temperature – the temperature of the final coffee beverage after brewed is finished – does not matter as much as brewing temperature; briefly heating coffee does not destroy its taste.
Brewing method
Espresso
Espresso yield is generally 15–25%: 25% is quoted as the Italian extraction. Espresso yield has received significantly less attention in the literature than brewed coffee extraction.
Espresso yield features a number of surprising properties:
yield depends primarily on depth of the "puck" (cylinder of coffee grounds);
yield is inverse to puck depth;
yield does not depend significantly on brewing time – yield at first increases approximately linearly, then plateaus after approximately 20 seconds;
strength is independent of dose.
Strength depends instead on grind: finer grinds yield a "shorter" (ristretto) espresso (less liquid, so higher brew ratio, at same yield gives more strength), while coarser grinds yield a "longer" (lungo) espresso, while an intermediate grind yields a "normale" espresso.

The Heavitree isolation hospital, also for a time known as the Exeter Corporation Tuberculosis Sanatorium, was a small pulmonary tuberculosis sanatorium located on Hollow Lane, Exeter, United Kingdom. The site is a few hundred metres to the west of the Whipton Hospital (formerly the Whipton Isolation Hospital).
History
Foundation as an isolation hospital
Despite its name, the sanatorium is in the Pinhoe/Monkerton area of Exeter, and is not to be confused with the Heavitree Hospital, also known as the Royal Devon and Exeter (Heavitree). This is because the building was erected by the Heavitree parish, but in the neighbouring parish of Pinhoe, against strenuous objection by the locals and council of that area.
The Heavitree council had been trying to find a site, considering and rejecting other sites as early as 1899.
The building was built in around 1903, some time before the larger Whipton Hospital, which was built following the tuberculosis acts of parliament in 1912.
In 1913, the Exeter City Council took over the sanatorium from Heavitree Council, as part of the response to the passage of the new tuberculosis regulations.
Residents and the parish council of Pinhoe continued to complain that patients from the sanatorium were visiting the village and spitting. The council responded that there was no danger of infection, and that patients were required to only spit in the flask they are provided with, or risk expulsion from the facility.
Remand school
In 1947, the premises was converted for use as remand school, the Pinhoe Remand Home for Girls, under the control of the Devon County Education Committee.
There were 10 'cases' in the home in 1952, but by 1953, there was only one girl resident in the home, with five staff to care for her, and the closure of the home was announced.
The inspection report of the remand home will be unsealed from the National Archives on 1 January 2028.
Learning disability school
Following the closure, in 1954 the council changed the use again, this time for use for children with learning disabilities, under the Mental Deficiency Act 1913.
The site has continued in this role ever since, and is now known as the Ellen Tinkham School.

Elessaurus is an extinct genus of archosauromorph from the Early Triassic of Brazil. It contains a single species, Elessaurus gondwanoccidens. It possessed a variety of features common to basal archosauromorphs, particularly basal tanystropheids such as Macrocnemus. However, it is uncertain whether Elessaurus was a particularly close relative of tanystropheids, and it might instead be closer to other major archosauromorph clades. The genus name refers to "Elessar", an alternate name of the character Aragorn from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Discovery
Elessaurus is known from a single holotype specimen, UFSM 11471, which consists of most of a leg connected to parts of the hip and the base of the tail. Despite being fairly complete by the standards of its locale, many of the specimen's bones are flattened or fragmentary. UFSM 11471 was collected from the Bica São Tomé site, an outcrop of the Sanga do Cabral Formation in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Based on the presence of Procolophon, the Sanga do Cabral Formation is likely Early Triassic (Induan-Olenekian) in age.
The generic name of Elessaurus is derived from the word "Elessar". This word originated from the fictional language of Quenya, which was invented by J.R.R. Tolkien for elves in his Middle Earth series. It translated to "elf-stone", and is one of the many names of the character more well known as Aragorn. Another name of Aragorn is "long-shanks", justifying its connection to Elessaurus, which possessed characteristically elongated shin bones. The specific name translates to "Western Gondwana", the region of the Early Triassic world which is now South America.
Description
The sacral rib of the second sacral (hip) vertebra bifurcates towards its contact with the ilium. Most of this sacral rib has a broad connection with the ilium, but at its rear it sends a pointed prong backwards. This trait is similar to Macrocnemus but unlike other tanystropheids, many of which do not have bifurcating sacral ribs. On the other hand, the caudal (tail) vertebrae resemble Tanystrachelos and Jesairosaurus in possessing transverse processes which project backwards and upwards. The ilium has a straight and blade-like upper edge, a pronounced postacetabular process, and a short yet distinct preacetabular process.
The femur is slender and sigmoid, similar to that of Macrocnemus and Augustaburiania. The femoral head is not distinctly wider than the shaft and its caudofemoralis attachment ridge is in the form of an internal trochanter (like lizards and basal archosauromorphs) rather than a fourth trochanter (which is present in archosauriforms). The femur widens slightly near the knee, where it has a pair of distinct condyles. The tibia and fibula are about 20% longer than the femur, a characteristic which is observed in Macrocnemus as well as avemetatarsalian archosaurs (like pterosaurs and early dinosaurs). The tibia may have a groove on its outer surface near the ankle like proterochampsids, but this may instead be an area of crushed bone. The fibula is thin and has a knob for the iliofibularis muscle near the knee.
The foot is asymmetrical, with the fourth metatarsal being the longest bone in the foot as with most non-archosauriform, non-tanystropheid archosauromorphs. Also like most early archosauromorphs, the fifth metatarsal is a short, hooked, L-shaped bone. The tarsus has six bones: an astragalus, calcaneum, distal tarsals I, III, and IV, and a centrale. This situation mirrors that of Macrocnemus bassannii and non-tanystropheid, non-archosauriform archosauromorphs. There is no foramen (hole) on the suture between the astragalus and calcaneum. The outer surface of calcaneum has an expansion known as a calcaneal tuber. A calcaneal tuber is known in archosauriforms and some allokotosaurs, as well as at least one tanystropheid, Tanytrachelos.
Paleobiogeography and paleobiology
Assuming Elessaurus is a relative of tanystropheids, it may illuminate the early origin of that unusual archosauromorph group. True tanystropheids first appeared in what is now Europe and China, though at the time these areas were northern regions of Pangaea along the margins of the ancient Tethys Ocean. The oldest agreed-upon members of the group lived in Russia (Augustaburiania) and Germany (Amotosaurus). However, recently discovered Early Triassic cervical (neck) vertebrae from the Sanga Do Cabral Formation suggest that tanystropheids were present in southern Pangaea around the same time that they started to become common in the north. There is no conclusive evidence that Elessaurus is the same animal as the Sanga Do Cabral tanystropheid, but even if this is not the case it may still support the hypothesis that tanystropheids and their kin had an early southern diversity rivaling their northern diversity. It also suggests that tanystropheids may have originated in Gondwana (southern Pangaea) rather than Laurasia (northern Pangaea).
Elessaurus is construed to be a mostly terrestrial animal based on its hip and foot resembling Macrocnemus and other typical basal archosauromorphs. It does not possess any of the unusual characteristics of Tanystropheus, a large and specialized tanystropheid which has been argued to be semi-aquatic. Nor does it resemble Dinocephalosaurus, a possible tanystropheid which is even more adapted for aquatic life. If Elessaurus is considered an analogue for the origin of Tanystropheidae, the family was seemingly originally composed of terrestrial reptiles, with later semi-aquatic experimentation only evolving afterwards. Elessaurus is also notable among tanystropheids and their potential relatives due to hailing from a landlocked environment dominated by high-energy streams, rather than coastal swamps or beaches.
Classification
De-Oliveira et al. (2020) tested the affinities of Elessaurus by adding it to a phylogenetic analysis previously created by Pritchard et al. (2018). It was resolved as the sister taxon to Tanystropheidae in this first addition. The authors then added Jesairosaurus and Dinocephalosaurus to the analysis, since previous studies have suggested that they may be close to or within Tanystropheidae. However, resulting cladograms instead placed those two taxa together in a clade separate from all other archosauromorphs. Their addition had several impacts on the rest of Archosauromorpha; the structure of Rhynchosauria became unstable and Elessaurus was found to occupy a variety of equally parsimonious positions. These include positions as a basal rhynchosaur, a basal archosauriform, or an independent branch close to allokotosaurs and archosauriforms.

Devante Darrius Rodney (born 19 May 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for club Rochdale.
He spent his youth at the academies at Manchester City and Sheffield Wednesday, before signing with Hartlepool United in January 2017. He made his senior debut four months later and established himself in the first-team in the 2017–18 season. He was sold on to Salford City in June 2018, though spent the second half of the 2018–19 season on loan at National League rivals FC Halifax Town, before returning to Salford to help the club to win promotion into the English Football League with victory in the 2019 play-off final. He spent much of the 2019–20 season out on loan at Stockport County and FC Halifax Town. He signed with Port Vale in July 2020 and finished as top-scorer for the 2020–21 campaign, before joining Walsall for an undisclosed fee in January 2022. He transferred to Rochdale in June 2022.
Career
Youth career
Rodney began his career in the youth team of Manchester City at the age of nine. He remained in Manchester for six years before joining the academy of Sheffield Wednesday.
Hartlepool United
On 6 January 2017, Rodney joined EFL League Two side Hartlepool United. He was reportedly not one of manager Craig Hignett's main targets and was assigned squad number 38 and sent to play for Sam Collins's reserve team. The club already had an established strike force in Pádraig Amond and Billy Paynter. New manager Dave Jones handed Rodney his professional debut on 1 April, in a 2–0 defeat to Portsmouth at Victoria Park. He scored two goals against Doncaster Rovers on the final day of the 2016–17 season as Hartlepool fought relegation, his goals were almost enough to keep the club up until Mark O'Brien scored a late winner for Newport County against Notts County to send Hartlepool down to the National League.
His next goal came on 14 October 2017, in a 2–1 win at South Shields in the FA Cup; manager Craig Harrison noted that "he’s had some great opportunities in the last four to five games. He could have had five goals to his name by now quite easily". Speaking the following March, new manager Matthew Bates said that Rodney was impressive in training and just needed to translate his hard work into goals. On 17 April, he was sent off for two bookable offences in a 1–0 home win over Leyton Orient. He ended the 2017–18 season with three goals in 22 starts and 22 substitute appearances as "Pools" posted a 15th-place finish and he turned down the club's offer of a new contract in the summer.
Salford City
On 15 June 2018, Rodney signed for newly-promoted National League team Salford City for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £20,000. In February 2019, he joined league rivals FC Halifax Town on loan for a month. He formed a successful strike partnership with fellow loanee Manny Duku and his loan deal was extended until the end of the 2018–19 season on 30 March. He scored seven goals in twelve games for Jamie Fullarton's "Shaymen". He returned to Moor Lane at the end of the loan period and came on as an extra time substitute in the National League play-off semi-final victory over Eastleigh. He also featured in the play-off final at Wembley Stadium, coming on as a 55th-minute substitute for Gus Mafuta as the "Ammies" beat AFC Fylde 3–0 to secure promotion into the English Football League.
On 8 October 2019, Rodney was loaned back to the National League with Stockport County until January 2020; he had tried to rejoin Halifax but had to instead go to Edgeley Park as a deal could not be arranged. He returned to Salford in January 2020 on the expiry of his loan period, having scored three goals in 14 matches playing on the right-wing for Jim Gannon's "Hatters". The following day he went out on loan again, returning to FC Halifax Town; manager Pete Wild said that he was "absolutely ecstatic" to secure the player's services ahead of strong competition from other clubs. He enjoyed another successful loan spell at The Shay, scoring five goals in eight games. Rodney was released from his contract at Salford after manager Graham Alexander confirmed he would not be offered a new deal on 17 May. Halifax qualified for the play-offs, due to take place two months late in July 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England, but Wild confirmed that Rodney would not be featuring as he was in negotiations to sign for another club.
Port Vale
On 7 July 2020, Rodney signed a three-year contract with League Two side Port Vale; manager John Askey brought him to the club to compete with Tom Pope, Mark Cullen and fellow new signing Theo Robinson. He scored his first goal for the "Valiants" on 19 September, in a 2–0 win at Exeter City. Speaking in November, coach Dave Kevan said that Rodney had been "a little bit stop start" and that "he just needs to be consistent and believe in the abilities and the strengths and qualities he has as a player and recognise he can do damage at this level". Kevan said that Rodney gave his best performance yet in a 6–3 win at Bolton Wanderers on 5 December despite him not getting on the scoresheet as he "was a real outlet for us and he really occupied their back three". He began the 2020–21 season playing out wide, before spending time out with COVID-19 and then establishing himself as the club's central striker in December. He was named in the League Two Team of the Week for his performance in a 1–1 draw with Forest Green Rovers on 15 December. He was nominated for the EFL League Two Player of the Month award after scoring four goals in four games in January, including a brace in a 5–1 win over Southend United. He was named as the club's Young Player of the Year after finishing as top-scorer with 12 goals from 44 games.
He was given a three match ban for an off the ball incident which had been missed by the match officials in a 2–1 win at Swindon Town on 11 September 2021. Speaking in the January transfer window, director of football David Flitcroft admitted that contract talks with the player had "flatlined" but that transfer bids from other clubs had been rejected as they had not met the club's valuation.
Walsall
On 28 January 2022, Rodney signed for fellow League Two side Walsall for an undisclosed fee (with add-on fees), signing a two-and-a-half year contract. Rodney said that he had spoken with head coach Matthew Taylor and technical director Jamie Fullarton – who he had worked with Halifax, and felt that the "Saddlers" playing style and ambitions were a good match for him. Taylor was sacked the following month, and new head coach Michael Flynn said that Rodney just needed to score his first goal at the Bescot Stadium in order to gain confidence. Teammate Conor Wilkinson said that Rodney was sharp in training and that his build up play was excellent, though he would end the 2021–22 season without a goal in his two starts and twelve substitute appearances.
Rochdale
On 15 June 2022, Rodney signed for Rochdale from Walsall on a two-year deal after Walsall and Rochdale agreed a transfer; manager Robbie Stockdale said that "we want hungry players who we can also develop, and Devante falls into that category". He finished as the club's top-scorer with 12 goals from 45 games in the 2022–23 season, as Rochdale were relegated following a last place finish in the English Football League; this tally included a brace against Sutton United in the final home game of the season at Spotland Stadium.
Style of play
Rodney is a forward with pace, energy and a high work rate. Speaking in July 2020, Port Vale manager John Askey said that: "he is strong and quick and he has decent ability as well. There are things in his game he needs to improve, his hold up play and his heading. But his main asset is his pace and strength."

Ernst Wilhelm Londicer or Londizer (1655, Reval - 9 November 1697, Reval) was a Baltic-German painter.
Life and work
His father, George Londicer, was a Scottish-born Lieutenant-Colonel and nobleman. His brother, Rabe Rudolf (?-1698), served as Mayor of Reval. He initially devoted himself to a study of classical literature, but turned to art; which he studied in Germany and Holland. The Dutch influence is especially prominent.
Sometime in the early 1680s, he returned to Reval. He received numerous commissions for portraits, and was named an official painter of the Estonian Knighthood. He took some students as well, notably Johann Heinrich Wedekind.
In 1697, he died of the plague.
His best-known works are portraits. These include Johann Fischer, the General Superintendent of Livonia, Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, the politicians, and Anders Torstenson, and Bishop .
In 1695, he designed the title page for the Livonian Chronicle by . It was engraved by Jacob von Sandrart. He also created altarpiece paintings of the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, for St. Mary's Cathedral, but they were replaced in 1881.
He was married to Maria Helena Polack (?-1710), the daughter of a goldsmith named Peter Polack (1633–1702). Her brother, (?-1721), was also a goldsmith. They had two sons and two daughters. Their first son, George Johan (1686-1733), became a court chaplain.

Miriam Yalan-Shteklis (also Miriam Yalan-Stekelis) () (21 September 1900 – 9 May 1984) was an Israeli writer and poet famous for her children's books. Her surname, Yalan, was an acronym based on her father's name, Yehuda Leib Nissan.
Biography
Miriam Wilensky (later Yalan-Shteklis) was born in the town of Potoki, near Kremenchuk in the Russian Empire (modern Ukraine). She was the daughter of Hoda (Hadassah) and Yehuda Leib Nissan Vilensky, a Zionist leader descended from a long line of rabbis, and learned Hebrew as a child.
After the failed Russian Revolution of 1905, the family moved from place to place: Berlin, Minsk, Petrograd and finally Kharkiv. In 1912, when she was 12, her brother Mulya (Shmuel) was sent to Ottoman Palestine to study at the Herzliya Hebrew High School. Yalan-Shteklis attended high school in Minsk and Petrograd, and studied psychology and social sciences at the University of Kharkiv. She also pursued Judaic studies at the Hochschule für die Wissenschaft des Judentums in Berlin.
In 1920, she immigrated to Mandatory Palestine and settled in the Rehavia neighborhood in Jerusalem. In 1928, she went to Paris to study library science. From 1929, she joined the staff of the Jewish National University Library at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She headed the Slavic department for 30 years. In 1929, she married Moshe Stekelis, a professor of archaeology. She died in Haifa on May 9, 1984, at the age of 83.
Literary career
Yalan-Shteklis published her first poem in Hebrew in 1922. In 1933, she turned to writing poems and stories for children, and published her work in the children's weekly Davar Leyeladim. The pain of losing her mother at the age of 16 permeates many of her poems.
She had no children of her own, but displayed an unusual gift for writing for the young and became Israel's leading children's poet. She used to say that "poems emanate from the suffering soul and like children, they are born in suffering." She challenged one of the central conventions of modern children's literature — the "happy ending". She portrayed happy children at play, but also their anger and pain, often pointing an accusing finger at adults. An example is her famous poem Levadi (All alone), written in 1957.
In addition to poetry, Yalan-Shtelis translated children's literature into Hebrew from Russian, English, German and Dutch, as well as works by Samuel Marshak, Erich Kastner, Leo Tolstoy, P. L. Travers, and others.
Literary themes and style
Yalan-Shteklis' work is permeated with positive educational values but avoids the trap of didactic preaching. Incorporating nationalist Zionist ideology, but also the traditions of Russian and European literature, her work is nevertheless original and Israeli.
The poetry, fiction, and translations of Yalan-Stekelis were collected in three volumes published between 1957 and 1963, with illustrations by Zila Binder: Shir ha-Gedi (Song of the kid); Yesh Li Sod (I have a secret); and Ba-Halomi (In my dream). The works were organized by age level, with a separate volume for each level. In 1986, this collection was reprinted in a single-volume special edition. The first volume contains songs and stories for preschoolers and non-readers. It includes play-songs (an innovation in Hebrew children's poetry), rhymes for finger-play, lullabies, nature poems, poems aimed at the inculcation of good habits, and poems just for amusement and expressing emotions. The second volume, for children with reading skills, offers longer stories that probe the relationships between children and parents, and between children and their peer group. The third volume, for older children, contains Zionist poems about the Land of Israel, bereavement and losing parents in the Holocaust. Alongside poems filled with hope for peace and redemption are lyrical-confessional poems about the fears and emotions of a child trying to come to terms with his/her identity and living in society.
Awards
In 1956, Yalan-Shteklis was awarded the Israel Prize for Children's Literature. It was the first time this category was included. In their decision, the judges wrote: "…Whatever she wrote, she wrote for children, and whatever she wrote bore no hint of deliberate infantilization but rather of true childhood, genuine and realistic, that embraces joy and innocence but also sorrow and tears, life’s wisdom and life’s evils, disappointment and consolation. She flavored her poems for children with all the key ingredients that mark good children’s poetry. Her work possesses a wonderful sense of the world of children. Language that draws upon sources both ancient and modern, admirable poetic skills and perfect musicality are a rare phenomenon in any nation and language, and not every literature is so blessed" (Editorial, Davar li-Yeladim).
In 1968, she was made an Honorary citizen of Jerusalem and granted the Yakir Yerushalaim award.
Musical collaboration
Many of her poems were set to music and have become Israeli children's classics. In 1975 Israeli singers Shmulik Kraus and Josie Katz put out an album of songs based on her poems.

/**
* <p>Ultralightweight C++ implementation of an <tt>int64_t</tt> vector
* that has a subset of methods from UVector32
*
* <p>This is a very simple implementation, written to satisfy an
* immediate porting need. As such, it is not completely fleshed out,
* and it aims for simplicity and conformity. Nonetheless, it serves
* its purpose (porting code from java that uses java.util.Vector)
* well, and it could be easily made into a more robust vector class.
*
* <p><b>Design notes</b>
*
* <p>There is index bounds checking, but little is done about it. If
* indices are out of bounds, either nothing happens, or zero is
* returned. We <em>do</em> avoid indexing off into the weeds.
*
* <p>There is detection of out of memory, but the handling is very
* coarse-grained -- similar to UnicodeString's protocol, but even
* coarser. The class contains <em>one static flag</em> that is set
* when any call to <tt>new</tt> returns zero. This allows the caller
* to use several vectors and make just one check at the end to see if
* a memory failure occurred. This is more efficient than making a
* check after each call on each vector when doing many operations on
* multiple vectors. The single static flag works best when memory
* failures are infrequent, and when recovery options are limited or
* nonexistent.

The A•DEvantgarde festival was founded in 1991 by Sandeep Bhagwati and Moritz Eggert. A•DEvantgarde is a music festival held every 2 years in Munich, Germany.
In 2007 the theme of the festival was on totalitarianism where the festival debuted the 60x60 project's Munich Mix featuring works with the theme of oppression and totalitarianism. In 2017, the festival will be directed by Samuel Penderbayne and Alexander Strauch under the motto 'Corragio' (courage), featuring local, national and international artists including Ensemble Nikel (Berlin/Tel Aviv), NAMES (Salzburg) and The Breakout Ensemble (Munich).
History of the A•DEvantgarde Festival
"A•DEvantgarde" mixes the French words "avant" and "devant," to mean temporally and spatially progressing; an apt description of its intent. The A•DEvantgarde Festival was formed in the late 1980s by a passionate group of young German composers who wanted to break from the traditional or Darmstadt School of serial composition that was dominated by eminent new music composers of the late 20th century including Pierre Boulez, Bruno Maderna, Karlheinz Stockhausen and more.
Professor Wilhelm Killmayer championed the students' work, encouraging them to work together to present their music rather than to engage competitively for the diminutive space allotted to young composers in the larger musical venues. Professor Killmayer took on composer Sandeep Bhagwati as his teaching assistant, opening up a new level of resources for the young composer. Bhagwati put together a first series of chamber concerts aimed at presenting the work of young composers called the A•DEvantgarde and even wrote a manifesto of the A•DEvantgarde which stated the group's intention to create and promote music that is without constraints or dictates—particularly as regards serial music. The document continues to be regarded as controversial today.
The first festival was held in 1991 and met with great success; in fact, the A•DEvantgarde Festival required immediate expansion in its second year in order to accommodate the great number of attendees. The second festival in 1992 was of a larger scale and was open to composers internationally. Most importantly, it upheld the ideal that young composers should judge and decide upon the work of other young composers, and the core group went to great lengths to ensure that this process was consistently carried out.
Again outgrowing its capacity in the second year, the A*Devantgarde Festival was for financial reasons forced to scale back in 1993. This occasioned a move to the New Theater, an intimate and minimalist space in which the performances thrived.
At the New Theater the popular audience continued to grow and the Festival began to receive critical acclaim. The original founders, foremost among them Sandeep Bhagwati and Moritz Eggert, felt that they were already coming to an age where they should step aside and let the younger composers make many of the aesthetic decisions. The group opted to use a democratic method whereby all members voted on which compositions to include and how best to direct the Festival, a process that was "laborious but always rewarding."
In the following years the A•DEvantgarde Festival began to receive performances across Germany, becoming a new standard for aspiring composers.
The upcoming festival in 2017 includes a mixture of concert performances and interdisciplinary projects involving artists from the free-scene. The centrepiece of the festival will be a 3-day 'Happening' in front of the Gasteig Centre for Arts and Culture in Munich on the theme 'An Artistic Occupy'. Broadly speaking, the music of the 1% will be laid bare on the steps of the Gastieg, the 'Wall St. of Culture' in Munich, and all performances will have a focus on 'inclusion'. Other features of the festival include a 'Quodlibet' with various choirs from the local scene, an evening of premieres of works setting the poetry of Ernst Toller (and associates), and concerts by Ensemble Nikel (Berlin/Tel Aviv) and NAMES (Salzburg). The artistic directors for 2017 are Samuel Penderbayne and Alexander Strauch.

Lady Catherine Jones (1672 – 14 April 1740) was an English philanthropist, interested in women's rights and education, and chose to be buried with her long-time friend, Mary Kendall (8 November 1677 – 4 March 1710), inside Westminster Abbey.
Biography
Lady Catherine Jones was the daughter of Richard Jones, 1st Earl of Ranelagh, and Elizabeth (d. 1695), daughter of Francis Willoughby, 5th Baron Willoughby of Parham. Her sister, Elizabeth, married John FitzGerald, 18th Earl of Kildare. Her twin sister Frances (1672–1715) married Thomas Coningsby, 1st Earl Coningsby. Her brothers, Edward (1675–1678) and Arthur, died young. Her own grandmother, Katherine Jones, Viscountess Ranelagh, was a female scientist, a political and religious philosopher, and a member of many intellectual circles including the Hartlib Circle, the Great Tew Circle, and the Invisible College.
In 1695 John Norris, philosopher, dedicated Letters Concerning the Love of God to Lady Catherine; the letters were exchanged between Norris and Mary Astell.
At the death of her father in 1711, Lady Catherine inherited Ranelagh House, built by her father adjoining the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Twenty years later she let it to two builders who re-let it to James Lacy, who with David Garrick managed the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. In 1741, after the death of Lady Catherine, Ranelagh House was sold to Crispe and Meyomet, who erected a rotunda in its place.
In 1716 Lady Catherine was living on Jews' Row where she continued to live until after Mary Astell's death in 1731 (Astell moved with her in 1726), although in 1730, her house is listed as empty. After withdrawing from public life in 1709, Astell haf founded a charity school for girls in Chelsea. According to the reports at present in the Royal Hospital Chelsea, this charity school for the education of the daughters of the Pensioners of Chelsea Hospital was established in 1729 by Lady Catherine, Lady Elizabeth Hastings, Lady Ann Coventry and other benevolent persons. When she was 60 years old, in 1726, Astell was invited to live with Jones, with whom she resided until her death in 1731. A letter from Thomas Birch to George Ballard stated that Astell lived with Lady Catherine in Chelsea. One more possible trace of residence occurred in a letter from Astell to Sir Hans Sloane dated 25 April 1724, from Manor Street.
Lady Catherine died on 14 April 1740.
Burial and relationship with Kendall
Lady Catherine' ashes were buried in the chapel of St John the Baptist in Westminster Abbey mingled with those of Mary Kendall, died 4 March 1710. The inscription reads:
"Mrs Mary Kendall daughter of Thomas Kendall Esqr. and of Mrs Mary Hallet, his wife, of Killigarth in Cornwall, was born at Westmr. Nov.8 1677 and dy'd at Epsome March 4, 1709/10, having reach'd the full term of her blessed Saviour's life; and study'd to imitate his spotless example. She had great virtues, and as great a desire of concealing them: was of a severe life, but of an easy conversation; courteous to all, yet strictly sincere; humble, without meanness; beneficient, without ostentation; devout, without superstition. These admirable qualitys, in which she was equall'd by few of her sex, surpass'd by none, render'd her every way worthy of that close uion and friendship in which she liv'd with the Lady Catherine Jones; and in testimony of which she desir'd that even their ashes, after death, might not be divided: and, therefore, order'd her selfe here to be interr'd where, she knew, that excellent Lady design'd one day to rest, near the grave of her belov'd and religious mother, Elizabeth, Countess of Ranelagh. This monument was erected by Capt. Charles Kendall".
Mary Kendall was the niece of James Kendall, politician and governor of Barbados, who is buried in the south choir aisle of Westminster Abbey. She was born on 8 November 1677, the daughter of Thomas Kendall, Esquire (d. 1684), and of Mary Hallet, of Killigarth in Cornwall. She lived with Lady Catherine, and when she died, on 4 March 1709/10, she asked to be buried in the chapel of St John the Baptist in Westminster Abbey since she knew that Lady Catherine wanted to rest near her beloved mother, Elizabeth, Countess of Ranelagh, who was already buried there. Moreover, Mary Kendall asked that, considering the "close union and friendship in which she lived with the Lady Catherine Jones [...] she desired that even their ashes, after death, might not be divided".
Jones' decision not to marry, and her close relationships and cohabitation with women throughout her life and into her death, merit speculation that she was a lesbian. The frustratingly minimal surviving documentation of her life make this difficult to assert with confidence. Nevertheless, one can make logical connections that the 'close union' she shared with Kendall, and with Astell, were not entirely platonic.

Variable-data publishing (VDP) (also known as database publishing) is a term referring to the output of a variable composition system. While these systems can produce both electronically viewable and hard-copy (print) output, the "variable-data publishing" term today often distinguishes output destined for electronic viewing, rather than that which is destined for hard-copy print (e.g. variable data printing).
Essentially the same techniques are employed to perform variable-data publishing, as those utilized with variable data printing. The difference is in the interpretation for output. While variable-data printing may be interpreted to produce various print streams or page-description files (e.g. AFP/IPDS, PostScript, PCL), variable-data publishing produces electronically viewable files, most commonly seen in the forms of PDF, HTML, or XML.
Variable-data composition involves the use of data to conditionally:
exhibit text (static blocks and/or variable content)
exhibit images
select fonts
select colors
format page layouts & flows
Variable-data may be as simple as an address block or salutation. However, it can be any or all of the document's textual content—including words, sentences, paragraphs, pages, or the entire document. In other words, it can make up as little or as much of the document as the composer desires. Variable data may also be used to exhibit various images, such as logos, products, or membership photos. Further, variable-data can be used to build rule-based design schemes, including fonts, colors, and page formats. The possibilities are vast.
The variable-data tools available today, make it possible to perform variable-data composition at nearly every stage of document production. However, the level of control that can be achieved varies, based upon how far into the document production process a variable-data tool is deployed. For example, if variable-data insertion occurs just prior to output...it's not likely that the text flow or layout can be altered with nearly as much control as would be available at the time of initial document composition.
Many organizations will produce multiple forms of output (aka: multi-channel output), for the same document. This ensures that the published content is available to recipients via any form of access method they might require. When multi-channel output is utilized, integrity between those output channels often becomes important.
Variable-data publishing may be performed on everything from a personal computer to a mainframe system. However, the speed and practical output volumes which can be achieved are directly affected by the computer power utilized.
Origin of the concept
The term variable-data publishing was likely an offshoot of the term "variable-data printing", first introduced to the printing industry by Frank Romano, Professor Emeritus, School of Print Media, at the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology. However, the concept of merging static document elements and variable document elements predates the term and has seen various implementations ranging from simple desktop 'mail merge', to complex mainframe applications in the financial and banking industry. In the past, the term VDP has been most closely associated with digital printing machines. However, in the past 3 years the application of this technology has spread to web pages, emails, and mobile messaging.

A phonetic complement is a phonetic symbol used to disambiguate word characters (logograms) that have multiple readings, in mixed logographic-phonetic scripts such as Egyptian hieroglyphs, Akkadian cuneiform, Japanese, and Mayan. Often they reenforce the communication of the ideogram by repeating the first or last syllable in the term.
Written English has few logograms, primarily numerals, and therefore few phonetic complements. An example is the nd of 2nd 'second', which avoids ambiguity with 2 standing for the word 'two'. In addition to numerals, other examples include Xmas, Xianity, and Xing for Christmas, Christianity, and Crossing – note the separate readings Christ and Cross.
In cuneiform
In Sumerian, the single word kur (𒆳) had two main meanings: 'hill' and 'country'. Akkadian, however, had separate words for these two meanings: šadú 'hill' and mātu 'country'. When Sumerian cuneiform was adapted (known as orthographic borrowing) for writing Akkadian, this was ambiguous because both words were written with the same character (𒆳, conventionally transcribed KUR, after its Sumerian pronunciation). To alert the reader as to which Akkadian word was intended, the phonetic complement -ú was written after KUR if 'hill' was intended, so that the characters KUR-ú were pronounced šadú, whereas KUR without a phonetic complement was understood to mean mātu 'country'.
Phonetic complements also indicated the Akkadian nominative and genitive cases. Similarly, Hittite cuneiform occasionally uses phonetic complements to attach Hittite case endings to Sumerograms and Akkadograms.
Phonetic complements should not be confused with determinatives (which were also used to disambiguate) since determinatives were used specifically to indicate the category of the word they preceded or followed. For example, the sign DINGIR (𒀭) often precedes names of gods, as LUGAL (𒈗) does for kings. It is believed that determinatives were not pronounced.
In Japanese
As in Akkadian, Japanese borrowed a logographic script, Chinese, designed for a very different language. The Chinese phonetic components built into these kanji () do not work when they are pronounced in Japanese, and there is not a one-to-one relationship between them and the Japanese words they represent.
For example, the kanji 生, pronounced shō or sei in borrowed Chinese vocabulary, stands for several native Japanese words as well. When these words have inflectional endings (verbs/adjectives and adverbs), the end of the stem is written phonetically:
生 nama 'raw' or ki 'alive'
生う [生u] o-u 'expand'
生きる [生kiru] i-kiru 'live'
生かす [生kasu] i-kasu 'make use of'
生ける [生keru] i-keru 'living, arrange'
生む [生mu] u-mu 'produce, give birth to'
生まれる or 生れる [生mareru or 生reru] u-mareru or uma-reru 'be born'
生える [生eru] ha-eru 'grow' (intransitive)
生やす [生yasu] ha-yasu 'grow' (transitive)
as well as the hybrid Chinese-Japanese word
生じる [生jiru] shō-jiru 'occur'
Note that some of these verbs share a kanji reading (i, u, and ha), and okurigana are conventionally picked to maximize these sharings.
These phonetic characters are called okurigana. They are used even when the inflection of the stem can be determined by a following inflectional suffix, so the primary function of okurigana for many kanji is that of a phonetic complement.
Generally it is the final syllable containing the inflectional ending is written phonetically. However, in adjectival verbs ending in -shii (-しい), and in those verbs ending in -ru (-る) in which this syllable drops in derived nouns, the final two syllables are written phonetically. There are also irregularities. For example, the word umareru 'be born' is derived from umu 'to bear, to produce'. As such, it may be written 生まれる [生mareru], reflecting its derivation, or 生れる [生reru], as with other verbs ending in elidable -ru.
In Phono-Semantic Characters
In Chinese
Chinese never developed a system of purely phonetic characters. Instead, about 90% of Chinese characters are compounds of a determinative (called a 'radical'), which may not exist independently, and a phonetic complement indicates the approximate pronunciation of the morpheme. However, the phonetic element is basic, and these might be better thought of as characters used for multiple near homonyms, the identity of which is constrained by the determiner. Due to sound changes over the last several millennia, the phonetic complements are not a reliable guide to pronunciation. Also, sometimes it is not obvious at all where the phonetic complements reside, for instance, the phonetic complement in 聽 is 𡈼, in 類 is 頪, and in 勝 is 朕, etc.
In Vietnamese
Chữ Nôm of Vietnamese is almost all constructed as phono-semantic characters, whose phonetic component and semantic component are usually individual unabridged Chinese characters (like the Chữ Nôm 𣎏 and 𣩂), instead of often radicals as in Sinographs.
In Korean
A handful of Korean gukja are also constructed as phono-semantic characters, such as 乭 (pronounced as 돌, dol) whose phonetic complement is the bottom 乙.
In Japanese
Some of Japanese Kokuji are phono-semantic characters, like 働, 腺, 鑓, whose phonetic complement is 動, 泉, 遣 respectively.
In the Maya Script
The Maya Script, the logosyllabic orthography of the Maya Civilization, used phonetic complements extensively and phonetic complements could be used synharmonically or disharmonically. The former is exemplified by the placement of the syllabogram for ma underneath the logogram for "jaguar" (in Classic Maya, BALAM): thus, though pronounced "BALAM", the word for "jaguar" was spelled "BALAM-m(a)". Disharmonic spellings also existed in the Maya Script.

Vida y Escritos del Dr. José Rizal, translated as "Life and Writings of Dr. José Rizal”, is a biography of Rizal written by Wenceslao Emilio Retana y Gamboa, a 19th-century Spanish civil servant, colonial administrator, writer, publisher, bibliophile, Filipiniana collector, and Philippine scholar. The 512-page book was published by Librería General de Victoriano Suárez of Madrid, Spain, in 1907. It contains works of Rizal such as poems and essays in "Spanish of literary merit"; some "translations and short papers" written in Tagalog, German, French, and English; and a complete listing of Rizal’s writings. The prologue for W.E. Retana’s book on Rizal was written by Javier Gómez de la Serna, while the epilogue was written by Miguel de Unamuno (1864–1936). Vida y Escritos del Dr. José Rizal is the first biographical account of the life of Rizal written by a non-Filipino author (the second is Rizal: Philippine Nationalist and Martyr by British author Austin Coates)..

The Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phase (also occasionally called the Larkin–Ovchinnikov–Fulde–Ferrell phase, or LOFF) can arise in a superconductor in large magnetic field. Among its characteristics are Cooper pairs with nonzero total momentum and a spatially non-uniform order parameter, leading to normal conducting areas in the superconductor.
History
Two independent publications in 1964, one by Peter Fulde and Richard A. Ferrell
and the other by Anatoly Larkin and Yuri Ovchinnikov,
theoretically predicted a new state appearing in a certain regime of superconductors at low temperatures and in high magnetic fields. This particular superconducting state is nowadays known as the Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov state, abbreviated FFLO state (also LOFF state).
Since then, experimental observations of the FFLO state have been searched for in different classes of superconducting materials, first in thin films and later in exotic superconductors such as heavy-fermion
and organic superconductors. Good evidence for the existence of the FFLO state was found in organic superconductors using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and heat capacity.
In recent years, the concept of the FFLO state was taken up in the field of atomic physics and experiments to detect the FFLO state in atomic ensembles in optical lattices. Moreover, there are indicators of the FFLO phase existence in two-component Fermi gases confined in a harmonic potential. These signatures are suppressed neither by phase separation nor by vortex lattice formation.
Theory
If a BCS superconductor with a ground state consisting of Cooper pair singlets (and center-of-mass momentum q=0) is subjected to an applied magnetic field, then the spin structure is not affected until the Zeeman energy is strong enough to flip one spin of the singlet and break the Cooper pair, thus destroying superconductivity (paramagnetic or Pauli pair breaking). If instead one considers the normal, metallic state at the same finite magnetic field, then the Zeeman energy leads to different Fermi surfaces for spin-up and spin-down electrons, which can lead to superconducting pairing where Cooper pair singlets are formed with a finite center-of-mass momentum q, corresponding to the displacement of the two Fermi surfaces.
A non-vanishing pairing momentum leads to a spatially modulated order parameter with wave vector q.
Experiment
For the FFLO phase to appear, it is required that Pauli paramagnetic pair-breaking is the relevant mechanism to suppress superconductivity (Pauli limiting field, also Chandrasekhar-Clogston limit). In particular, orbital pair breaking (when the vortices induced by the magnetic field overlap in space) has to be weaker, which is not the case for most conventional superconductors. Certain unusual superconductors, on the other hand, may favor Pauli pair breaking: materials with large effective electron mass or layered materials (with quasi-two-dimensional electrical conduction).
Heavy-fermion superconductors
Heavy-fermion superconductivity is caused by electrons with a drastically enhanced effective mass (the heavy fermions, also heavy quasiparticles), which suppresses orbital pair breaking. Furthermore, certain heavy-fermion superconductors, such as CeCoIn5, have a layered crystal structure, with somewhat two-dimensional electronic transport properties. Indeed, in CeCoIn5 there is thermodynamic evidence for the existence of an unconventional low temperature phase within the superconducting state. Subsequently, the neutron-diffraction experiments showed that this phase exhibits also incommensurate anti-ferromagnetic order and that the superconducting and magnetic ordering phenomena are coupled with each other.
Organic superconductors
Most organic superconductors are strongly anisotropic, in particular there are charge-transfer salts based on the molecule BEDT-TTF (or ET, "bisethylendithiotetrathiofulvalene") or BEDT-TSF (or BETS, "bisethylendithiotetraselenafulvalene") that are highly two dimensional. In one plane, the electric conductivity is high compared to a direction perpendicular to the plane. When applying large magnetic fields exactly parallel to the conducting planes, penetration depth demonstrates and specific heat confirms the existence of the FFLO state. This finding was corroborated by NMR data that proved the existence of an inhomogeneous superconducting state, most probable the FFLO state.

Régine Zylberberg (born Régina Zylberberg; 26 December 1929 – 1 May 2022), often known mononymously as Régine, was a Belgian-born French singer and nightclub impresario. She dubbed herself the "Queen of the Night".
Early life
Rachelle Zylberberg was born in Anderlecht, Belgium, to Polish Jewish parents, Joseph Zylberberg and Tauba Rodstein. She spent much of her early life in hiding from the Nazis in occupied wartime France. Abandoned in infancy by her unwed mother who moved to Argentina, she was 12 when her father was arrested by the Nazis. She hid in a convent, where she was reportedly beaten. After the war, she sold bras in the streets of Paris. Her father, Joseph, managed to survive the war. He opened a cafe in Paris's Belleville neighborhood.
Career
Known as Régine, she became a torch singer; by 1953, she was a nightclub manager in Paris. She is attributed with the invention of the modern-day discothèque, by virtue of creating a new dynamic atmosphere at Paris' Whisky à Gogo, with the ubiquitous jukebox replaced by disc jockeys utilizing linked turntables.
In 1957, she opened Chez Régine in the Latin Quarter, which became the place to be seen for visiting celebrities, socialites and royalty. As Zylberberg's celebrity expanded she established other venues under the name Chez Régine's in London, New York City, Monte Carlo and elsewhere. These were ultra-selective venues in prime urban locations, all featuring her signature "disco-style" layout. Zylberberg's Paris Whisky à Gogo became the inspiration for the later establishment of the Whisky a Go Go nightclub in Los Angeles. She also established Jimmy'z, a nightclub in Monaco, in 1974.
In the 1970s, Zylberberg moved to New York and lived in a suite of the Delmonico Hotel. She opened Regine's nightclub on the ground floor of the hotel in 1976. The club served food under the direction of French chef Michel Guérard. In the 1970s, she designed a line of "Ready-to-Dance" evening clothes which were proof against wrinkling and so could be packed, which were sold at Bloomingdale's. In 1988, she was in charge of the Ledoyen Restaurant on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
On 22 April 1996, Zylberberg and her son were arrested for refusing to comply with crew requests and smoking on an American Airlines flight. It was alleged that, though she was travelling economy, Régine had demanded a first-class upgrade, which the airline declined. In June 2011, she appeared as Solange in Follies at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. She lived with her husband in Saint-Tropez.
Family
She had one son, Lionel, from her first husband Leon Rothcage, whom she married when she was 16.
Death
Zylberberg died on 1 May 2022, according to her granddaughter.

Cynthia Jeanne Shaheen ( ; née Bowers, born January 28, 1947) is an American retired educator and politician serving as the senior United States senator from New Hampshire since 2009. A member of the Democratic Party, Shaheen served as the 78th governor of New Hampshire from 1997 to 2003. She was the first woman elected governor of New Hampshire, the first woman elected to the Senate from New Hampshire, and the first woman elected as both a governor and a U.S. senator.
After serving two terms in the New Hampshire Senate, Shaheen was elected governor in 1996 and reelected in 1998 and 2000. In 2002, she unsuccessfully ran for U.S. Senate against Republican nominee John E. Sununu. She served as director of the Harvard Institute of Politics before resigning to run for the U.S. Senate again in the 2008 election, defeating Sununu in a rematch. She is the dean of New Hampshire's congressional delegation, serving in Congress since 2009.
Shaheen became the first Democratic senator from New Hampshire since John A. Durkin, who was defeated in 1980. In 2014, she became the second Democrat from New Hampshire to be reelected to the Senate and the first since Thomas J. McIntyre in 1972. She was reelected to a third term in 2020, defeating Republican nominee Bryant Messner.
Personal life, education and pre-political career
Jeanne Shaheen was born Cynthia Jeanne Bowers in St. Charles, Missouri, the daughter of Belle Ernestine (Stillings) and Ivan E. Bowers. She is a 12th-generation descendant of the prominent Native American Pocahontas.
Shaheen graduated from high school in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, and earned a bachelor's degree in English from Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania and a master's degree in political science from the University of Mississippi. She taught high school in Mississippi and moved to New Hampshire in 1973, where she taught school and, with her husband, owned a store that sold used jewelry. She is married to Bill Shaheen, an attorney and judge. They have three children.
Early political career
A Democrat, she worked on several campaigns, including Jimmy Carter's 1976 presidential campaign, and as the New Hampshire campaign manager for Gary Hart in 1984, before running for office in 1990, when she was elected to the state Senate for the 21st district. She was elected governor of New Hampshire in 1996 and reelected in 1998 and 2000.
In April 2005, Shaheen was named director of Harvard's Institute of Politics, succeeding former U.S. Representative and Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman.
Governor of New Hampshire
Shaheen's decision to run for New Hampshire governor followed the retirement of Republican Governor Steve Merrill. Her opponent in 1996 was Ovide M. Lamontagne, then chairman of the State Board of Education. Shaheen presented herself as a moderate. According to a PBS profile, she focused on education funding issues, and pledged to expand kindergarten. She defeated Lamontagne by 57 to 40 percent.
Shaheen was the first woman to be elected governor of New Hampshire. (She was not, however, the first woman to serve as New Hampshire's governor; Vesta M. Roy was acting governor from December 30, 1982, until January 6, 1983.)
In 1998, she was reelected by a margin of 66 to 31 percent.
In both 1996 and 1998, Shaheen took a no-new-taxes pledge. After a court decision preventing education from being largely supported by local taxes, "her administration devised a plan that would have increased education spending and set a statewide property tax."
Running for a third term in 2000, Shaheen refused to renew her no-new-taxes pledge, becoming the first New Hampshire governor in 38 years to win an election without making that pledge. Shaheen's preferred solution to the school-funding problem was not a broad-based tax but legalized video-gambling at state racetracks—a solution repeatedly rejected by the state legislature.
In 2001 Shaheen tried to implement a 2.5% sales tax, the first broad-based tariff of its kind in New Hampshire, which has never had a sales tax. The state legislature rejected her proposal. She also proposed an increase in the state's cigarette tax and a 4.5% capital gains tax.
Presidential politics
2000
During the 2000 Democratic presidential primary in New Hampshire, Shaheen supported Al Gore, and her husband served as Gore's New Hampshire campaign manager. According to the New York Observer, the Shaheens were critical in helping Gore win a narrow victory in the New Hampshire primary over Bill Bradley.
Gore added Shaheen to his short list of potential vice presidential nominees, which also included Indiana Senator Evan Bayh, North Carolina Senator John Edwards, House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, and Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman. Shaheen responded to speculation by stating she wasn't interested in the job.
2004
After a short time teaching at Harvard University (and a fellowship in the Institute of Politics with former Massachusetts Governor Jane Swift), Shaheen was named national chairperson of John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign in September 2003.
U.S. Senate
Elections
2002
After three two-year terms as governor, Shaheen declined to run for a fourth, instead choosing to run for the U.S. Senate in 2002. Republican John E. Sununu defeated her by a 51 percent to 47 percent margin (19,751 votes). In an interview with the Concord Monitor, Shaheen attributed her loss in part to "discussion about the job that [she] did as governor." At that time, early Republican advertisements slammed her support for putting a sales tax on the ballot or faulted her for failing schools.
In June 2004, former Republican consultant Allen Raymond pleaded guilty to jamming Democratic Party lines set up to get New Hampshire Democrats to the polls in 2002, which some (most notably former Senator Bob Smith, whom Sununu defeated in the Republican primary) believe contributed to Shaheen's loss. A judge sentenced Raymond to five months in jail in February 2005. Charles McGee, the former state GOP executive director, was sentenced to seven months for his role.
Raymond alleged that James Tobin, Northeast field director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, masterminded the plot. In December 2005, Tobin was convicted of two federal felonies arising from the phone-jamming and sentenced to ten months in prison, but that conviction was reversed on appeal. In October 2008, prosecutors filed two new felony indictments charging that Tobin lied to an FBI agent when he was interviewed in 2003 about his role in the phone-jamming case. These charges were summarily dismissed in 2009 after the federal judge in Maine's District Court found them motivated by "vindictive prosecution".
It was the first time two candidates with Lebanese-American families, although Shaheen herself is not Lebanese-American, had squared off in a Senate race.
2008
In early July 2007 through UNH, CNN and WMUR put out a poll showing that Shaheen would beat Sununu in the 2008 Senate race (54–38). Other Democratic candidates did not have this type of lead, which led many to believe Shaheen would be the best choice to beat Sununu.
In April 2007, Shaheen met with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Chuck Schumer (D-New York) about a Senate run. Both said she would have strong support from the DSCC if she ran. On September 14, 2007, Shaheen announced her candidacy. On September 15, she formally launched her campaign at her home in Madbury, New Hampshire. On September 21, EMILY's List endorsed her campaign.
Shaheen defeated Sununu 52% to 45% (44,535 votes).
2014
Shaheen ran for reelection in 2014, facing former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown.
In March 2014, Brown announced he was forming an exploratory committee to run against Shaheen. According to the Boston Herald, "Granite State Republicans are calling U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen a hypocrite for asking potential GOP challenger and former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown to keep "outside" money out of the campaign while she fills the Democratic war chest on the West Coast".
In June 2014, WMUR reported that Shaheen had never released her tax returns in her 18 years of public service in New Hampshire. Shaheen said she would not rule out releasing her returns, but would like to see her opponent do so first.
She was endorsed again by Emily's List.
On election night, even as her party lost control of the Senate, Shaheen won reelection with 51 percent of the vote to Brown's 48 percent. As a measure of how Republican New Hampshire once was, Shaheen is only the second Democrat in the state's history to win two terms in the Senate.
2020
Shaheen was reelected in 2020 with 56.7% of the vote to Republican nominee Bryant “Corky” Messner's 40.9%. She is the first New Hampshire Democrat elected to three full terms in the Senate. The only other Democrat to be popularly elected more than once from New Hampshire, Thomas J. McIntyre (who held the seat Shaheen currently holds), served the remainder of Styles Bridges's last term before being elected to two terms in his own right.
Tenure
On January 3, 2009, Shaheen was sworn into the United States Senate. As a senator, she has sponsored 288 bills, five of which have become law.
On January 6, 2021, Shaheen was participating in the certification of the 2021 United States Electoral College vote count when Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol. She tweeted during the attack that she and her staff were safe and that "We will not be stopped from doing our Constitutional duty". The day after the attack, Shaheen called Trump "unfit for office" and said that she supported impeaching him and removing him from office.
Health care
In 2009, Shaheen partnered with U.S. Senator Susan Collins to introduce the Medicare Transitional Care Act, which provides follow-up care for discharged hospital patients to reduce re-hospitalizations. The bill passed in 2010, and research at the University of Pennsylvania predicted the measure would lower the cost of health care by as much as $5,000 per Medicare beneficiary while also improving health care quality and reducing re-hospitalizations.
In December 2009, Shaheen voted for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA; commonly called the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare).
In advance of the rollout of the PPACA, Shaheen said that people who liked their current health care plans could keep them. When asked about individuals who were losing their health care plans due to the PPACA, Shaheen said people could keep their health care plans if they were "willing to pay more."
In August 2019 Shaheen was one of 19 senators to sign a letter to United States Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin and United States Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar requesting data from the Trump administration in order to help states and Congress understand the potential consequences of the Texas v. United States Affordable Care Act lawsuit, writing that an overhaul of the present health care system would form "an enormous hole in the pocketbooks of the people we serve as well as wreck state budgets".
In October 2019 Shaheen was one of 27 senators to sign a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer advocating the passage of the Community Health Investment, Modernization, and Excellence (CHIME) Act, which was set to expire the following month. The senators warned that if the funding for the Community Health Center Fund (CHCF) was allowed to expire, it "would cause an estimated 2,400 site closures, 47,000 lost jobs, and threaten the health care of approximately 9 million Americans."
Fiscal
On October 11, 2011, Shaheen voted to proceed with a proposed bill that included $446 billion in spending on infrastructure and schools and provided funding for state and local governments, as well as an extension of the payroll tax deduction. The spending would have been paid for by a 5.6% surtax on incomes above $1 million. The bill failed to obtain cloture.
Shaheen used an earmark in a large appropriations bill to restore funding for a federal prison in Berlin, NH, despite a $276 million recommended cut.
Gun policy
Shaheen supports making it illegal for individuals on the terrorist watchlist to buy guns and voted in favor of a bill proposing to expand background checks for gun purchases. She also voted to ban magazines of over 10 bullets. In 2016, she participated in the Chris Murphy gun control filibuster in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting. Shaheen said that "moments of sympathy are not enough" and that common-sense gun laws must be enacted.
Energy
Following the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, Shaheen proposed abolishing the Minerals Management Service, the U.S. government agency tasked with regulating offshore drilling, arguing that reform had been insufficient and that a new agency was needed. Shaheen also proposed legislation giving the president's bipartisan BP Oil Spill Commission subpoena power in its investigation. She argued that subpoena power was necessary to avoid another such disaster, emphasizing the spill's economic costs to the Gulf Coast region and the economy as a whole.
On April 28, 2014, Shaheen introduced the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2014 (S. 2262; 113th Congress), a bill intended to improve efficient energy use.
In March 2019 Shaheen was an original cosponsor of a bipartisan bill intended to mandate that the Environmental Protection Agency declare per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances as hazardous substances that can be addressed with cleanup funds via the EPA Superfund law and require that polluters undertake or pay for remediation within a year of the bill's enaction.
Shaheen opposed the Nord Stream 2, a pipeline for delivering natural gas from Russia to Germany.
Iraq War
In 2002, when Shaheen narrowly lost to Sununu, she supported both the 2003 invasion of Iraq and "regime change" for Iraq. Shaheen said that she came to supporting the policy of removing Saddam Hussein from power after meeting with former Clinton-administration National Security Advisor Sandy Berger. According to the Concord Monitor and Associated Press, the issue was a minor one in the race.
Shaheen later questioned George W. Bush's handling of the situation in Iraq. In a September 2004 televised interview as Kerry presidential campaign chair she said:
George [W.] Bush has taken us in the wrong direction. He misled us into war in Iraq. That war has not made us safer and more secure at home ... You know, we have not stabilized Afghanistan. We have not stabilized Iraq. There is no plan to win the peace.
On July 28, 2004, while serving as Chair of the Kerry-Edwards Campaign, Shaheen answered questions about her prior support of the Iraq war during an interview on C-SPAN.
War in Afghanistan
Shaheen opposed the 2021 withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan under President Joe Biden.
LGBT rights
Shaheen initially opposed same-sex marriage as governor of New Hampshire, but in 2009 she came out in favor of marriage for same-sex couples and sponsored the Respect for Marriage Act. She also voted in favor of the repeal of Don't ask, don't tell, and supports government recognition of same-sex spouses of military and other government personnel.
Minimum wage
On March 5, 2021, Shaheen voted against Bernie Sanders's amendment to include a $15/hour minimum wage in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

The tiger grouper (Mycteroperca tigris) is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grouper from the subfamily Epinephelinae which is part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses. It is found in the warmer waters of the western Atlantic Ocean.
Description
The tiger grouper has a body which is elongate, robust and compressed, its depth being the no greater at the origin of the dorsal fin as it is at the origin of the anal fin, and a large mouth. The standard length is 3.1 to 3.6 times the depth of the body. The preopercle is rounded and does not have a lobe at its angle. The dorsal fin contains 11 spines and 15-17 soft rays while the anal fin contains 3 spines and 11 soft rays. The membranes between the dorsal fin spines are obviously notched. The caudal fin is a straight in juveniles and slightly concave in adults. The upper body is dark and there are 9 to 11 thin, pale oblique lines. It is capable of dramatic changes in colour, as well as lightening or darkening its colour. It can even sometimes be bright red in colour, particularly when being attended to by cleaner fish. The juveniles are yellow with a dusky line along the flanks. This species attains a total length of , although they are commonly around , and a maximum published weight of .
Distribution
The tiger grouper is found in the western Atlantic Ocean from southeastern Florida, Bermuda and the Bahamas, as well as the Flower Garden Banks in the north, southwards through the Caribbean Sea to the Maroni River in French Guiana. A disjunct population occurs in Brazil where they are found from Ceara State to Rio de Janeiro State.
Habitat and biology
The tiger grouper is a solitary species which is found on coral reefs and in rocky areas. It is an ambush predator of smaller fishes. It hides among coral and sponges and is attempts to remain concealed, even when approached. It attaneds the cleaning stations of cleaner fish. The population around Bermuda has a size distribution and sex ratio which suggest that tiger groupers are protogynous hermaphrodites, all of the fish with a total length less than were female and all of the fish with a total length greater than were male. They are found at depths of . It is known to form spawning aggregations in the northern part of its range but these have not been recorded off Brazil.
Taxonomy
The tiger grouper was first formally described as Serranus tigris in 1833 by the French zoologist Achille Valenciennes (1794-1865) with the type locality given as San Domingo.
Utilisation
The tiger grouper is targeted by fisheries throughout its range. It is caught using handlines and by spear fishing.

The Biggin Hill Invader crash was an accident involving a twin-engined Douglas A-26 Invader aircraft which crashed during an airshow on 21 September 1980. The pilot and six passengers were killed, prompting the Civil Aviation Authority to introduce rules preventing passengers from being carried during air displays.
Accident
During the Biggin Hill Battle of Britain airshow, the Invader made a fast run along the crowd line at then attempted to carry out either a barrel-roll or a wing over. When the aircraft was inverted the roll rate increased and it dived into the ground in the valley at the end of the runway. The pilot and the six passengers were killed.
Aircraft
The Douglas A-26 Invader was an American medium bomber built for the United States Army Air Force around 1943. It was sold after the war and was operated from England since the mid 1970s as a warbird in USAAF markings as "322612", with the nickname "Double Trouble”.

The South Island, with an area of , is the largest landmass of New Zealand; it contains about one-quarter of the New Zealand population and is the world's 12th-largest island. It is divided along its length by the Southern Alps, the highest peak of which is Aoraki / Mount Cook at , making it 9th-highest island, with the high Kaikōura Ranges to the northeast. There are eighteen peaks of more than in the South Island. The east side of the island is home to the Canterbury Plains while the West Coast is famous for its rough coastlines such as Fiordland, a very high proportion of native bush, and Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers.
The dramatic landscape of the South Island has made it a popular location for the production of several films, including The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It lies at similar latitudes to Tasmania (an island south of the Australian mainland), and parts of Patagonia in South America.
Geology and earthquakes
On 4 September 2010, the South Island was struck by a 7.1 magnitude earthquake, which caused extensive damage, several power outages, and many reports of aftershocks. Five and a half months later, 22 February Christchurch earthquake of 6.3 magnitude caused far more additional damage in Christchurch, resulting in 181 deaths. This quake struck at about lunchtime and was centred closer at Lyttelton, and shallower than the prior quake, consequently causing extensive damage.
The Alpine Fault runs through most of the South Island, The last major earthquake on the fault was in 1717, and it is likely that another one will occur in the next fifty years. Previous earthquakes have also occurred on the Apline Fault.
Climate
The climate in the South Island is mostly temperate. The mean temperature for the South Island is . January and February are the warmest months while July is the coldest. Historical maxima and minima are in Rangiora, Canterbury and in Ophir, Otago.
Conditions vary sharply across the regions from extremely wet on the West Coast to semi-arid in the Mackenzie Basin of inland Canterbury. Most areas have between of rainfall with the most rain along the West Coast and the least rain on the East Coast, predominantly on the Canterbury Plains. Christchurch is the driest city, receiving about of rain per year while Invercargill is the wettest, receiving about . The southern and south-western parts of South Island have a cooler and cloudier climate, with around 1,400–1,600 hours of sunshine annually; the northern and north-eastern parts of the South Island are the sunniest areas and receive about 2,400–2,500 hours.

Natural geographic features
Fiords
The South Island has 15 named maritime fiords which are all located in the southwest of the island in a mountainous area known as Fiordland. The spelling 'fiord' is used in New Zealand rather than 'fjord', although all the maritime fiords use the word Sound in their name instead.
A number of lakes in the Fiordland and Otago regions also fill glacial valleys. Lake Te Anau has three western arms which are fiords (and are named so). Lake McKerrow / Whakatipu Waitai to the north of Milford Sound / Piopiotahi is a fiord with a silted-up mouth. Lake Wakatipu fills a large glacial valley, as do lakes Hakapoua, Poteriteri, Monowai and Hauroko in the far south of Fiordland. Lake Manapouri has fiords as its west, north and south arms.
The Marlborough Sounds, a series of deep indentations in the coastline at the northern tip of the South Island, are in fact rias, drowned river valleys.
Glaciers
Most of New Zealand's glaciers are in the South Island. They are generally found in the Southern Alps near the Main Divide.
An inventory of South Island glaciers during the 1980s indicated there were about 3,155 glaciers with an area of at least . About a sixth of these glaciers covered more than 10 hectares. These include the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers on the West Coast, and the Haupapa / Tasman, Hooker, Mueller and Murchison glaciers in the east.
Lakes
There are some 3,820 lakes in New Zealand with a surface area larger than one hectare. Much of the higher country in the South Island was covered by ice during the glacial periods of the last two million years. Advancing glaciers eroded large steep-sided valleys, and often carried piles of moraine (rocks and soil) that acted as natural dams. When the glaciers retreated, they left basins that are now filled by lakes. The level of most glacial lakes in the upper parts of the Waitaki and Clutha / Mata-Au rivers are controlled for electricity generation. Hydroelectric reservoirs are common in South Canterbury and Central Otago, the largest of which is Lake Benmore, on the Waitaki River.
The South Island has 8 of New Zealand's 10 biggest lakes. They were formed by glaciers and include Lake Wakatipu, Lake Tekapo and Lake Manapouri. The deepest (462 m) is Lake Hauroko, in western Southland. It is the 16th deepest lake in the world. Millions of years ago, Central Otago had a huge lake – Lake Manuherikia. It was slowly filled in with mud, and fossils of fish and crocodiles have been found there.
Volcanoes
There are four extinct volcanoes in the South Island, all located on the east coast.
Banks Peninsula forms the most prominent of these volcanic features. Geologically, the peninsula comprises the eroded remnants of two large shield volcanoes (Lyttelton formed first, then Akaroa). These formed due to intraplate volcanism between about eleven and eight million years ago (Miocene) on a continental crust. The peninsula formed as offshore islands, with the volcanoes reaching to about 1,500 m above sea level. Two dominant craters formed Lyttelton / Whakaraupō and Akaroa Harbours.
The Canterbury Plains formed from the erosion of the Southern Alps (an extensive and high mountain range caused by the meeting of the Indo-Australian and Pacific tectonic plates) and from the alluvial fans created by large braided rivers. These plains reach their widest point where they meet the hilly sub-region of Banks Peninsula. A layer of loess, a rather unstable fine silt deposited by the foehn winds which bluster across the plains, covers the northern and western flanks of the peninsula. The portion of crater rim lying between Lyttelton Harbour / Whakaraupō and Christchurch city forms the Port Hills.
The Otago Harbour was formed from the drowned remnants of a giant shield volcano, centred close to what is now the town of Port Chalmers. The remains of this violent origin can be seen in the basalt of the surrounding hills. The last eruptive phase ended some ten million years ago, leaving the prominent peak of Mount Cargill.
Timaru was constructed on rolling hills created from the lava flows of the extinct Mount Horrible, which last erupted many thousands of years ago.
Te Wāhipounamu World Heritage Site
Te Wāhipounamu (Māori for "the place of greenstone") is a World Heritage Site in the south west corner of the South Island.
Inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1990 it covers and incorporates the Aoraki / Mount Cook, the Fiordland, the Mount Aspiring and the Westland Tai Poutini National Parks.
It is thought to contain some of the best modern representations of the original flora and fauna present in Gondwanaland, one of the reasons for listing as a World Heritage Site.
Protected areas
Forest parks
There are six forest parks in the South Island that are on public land administered by the Department of Conservation.
Catlins Forest Park Situated in the Southland region.
Craigieburn Forest Park Situated in the Canterbury Region, its boundaries lie in part alongside State Highway 73 and is adjacent to the eastern flanks of the Southern Alps. The Broken River Ski Area and the Craigieburn Valley Ski Area lie within its borders. The New Zealand Forest Service had used the area as an experimental forestry area and there is now an environmental issue with the spread of wilding conifers.
Hanmer Forest Park Situated in the Canterbury Region.
Lake Sumner Forest Park Situated in the Canterbury Region.
Mount Richmond Forest Park Situated in the Marlborough region.
Victoria Forest Park Situated in the West Coast region.
National parks
The South Island has ten national parks established under the National Parks Act 1980 and which are administered by the Department of Conservation.
From north to south, the National Parks are:
Kahurangi National Park (4,520 km2, established 1996) Situated in the north-west of the South Island, Kahurangi comprises spectacular and remote country and includes the Heaphy Track. It has ancient landforms and unique flora and fauna. It is New Zealand's second largest national park.
Abel Tasman National Park (225 km2, established 1942) Has numerous tidal inlets and beaches of golden sand along the shores of Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere. It is New Zealand's smallest national park.
Nelson Lakes National Park (1,018 km2, established 1956) A rugged, mountainous area in Nelson Region. It extends southwards from the forested shores of Lake Rotoiti and Rotoroa to the Lewis Pass National Reserve.
Paparoa National Park (306 km2, established 1987) On the West Coast of the South Island between Westport and Greymouth. It includes the celebrated Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki.
Arthur's Pass National Park (1,144 km2, established 1929) A rugged and mountainous area straddling the main divide of the Southern Alps.
Westland Tai Poutini National Park (1,175 km2, established 1960) Extends from the highest peaks of the Southern Alps to a wild remote coastline. Included in the park are glaciers, scenic lakes and dense rainforest, plus remains of old gold mining towns along the coast.
Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park (707 km2, established 1953) An alpine park, containing New Zealand's highest mountain, Aoraki / Mount Cook (3,754 m) and its longest glacier, Haupapa / Tasman Glacier (29 km). A focus for mountaineering, ski touring and scenic flights, the park is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Together, the Aoraki / Mount Cook and Westland Tai Poutini National Parks have been declared a World Heritage Site.
Mount Aspiring National Park (3,555 km2, established 1964) A complex of impressively glaciated mountain scenery centred on Mount Aspiring / Tititea (3,036 m), New Zealand's highest peak outside of the main divide.
Fiordland National Park (12,519 km2, established 1952) The largest national park in New Zealand and one of the largest in the world. The grandeur of its scenery, with its deep fiords, its lakes of glacial origin, its mountains and waterfalls, has earned it international recognition as a world heritage area.
Rakiura National Park (1,500 km2, established 2002) On Stewart Island / Rakiura.
Other native reserves and parks
Hakatere Conservation Park
Natural history
During the Last Glacial Period when sea levels were over 100 metres lower than present day levels, the North and South Islands were connected by a vast coastal plain which formed at the South Taranaki Bight. Similarly, the South Island and Stewart Island / Rakiura were connected by coastal plains which covered modern-day Foveaux Strait. During this period, most of the South Island was covered in grassland and glaciers, compared to the woodlands and rainforest which grew in the more temperate North Island. Sea levels began to rise 7,000 years ago, eventually separating the islands and linking the Cook Strait to the Tasman Sea.
Birds
There are several bird species which are endemic to the South Island. They include the kea, great spotted kiwi, Okarito brown kiwi, South Island kōkako, South Island pied oystercatcher, Malherbe's parakeet, king shag, takahē, black-fronted tern, South Island robin, rock wren, wrybill, and yellowhead.
Many South Island bird species are now extinct, mainly due to hunting by humans and predation by cats and rats introduced by humans. Extinct species include the South Island goose, South Island giant moa, Haast's eagle and South Island piopio.

Copa Sul-Minas was a Brazilian football competition that ran between 2000 and 2002, with teams from the three Southern states of Brazil, plus the Southeastern state of Minas Gerais. It replaced the 1999 tournament called Copa Sul which only included teams from the Southern states. In 2016, a successor to this tournament was created, the Copa Sul-Minas-Rio (also known as Primeira Liga), in this tournament there were not only teams from the Southern states and Minas Gerais, but they also added teams from Rio de Janeiro.
In its three editions, Copa Sul-Minas was won by Minas Gerais teams.

Sebastian Finsterwalder (4 October 1862 – 4 December 1951) was a German mathematician and glaciologist. Acknowledged as the "father of glacier photogrammetry"; he pioneered the use of repeat photography as a temporal surveying instrument in measurement of the geology and structure of the Alps and their glacier flows. The measurement techniques he developed and the data he produced are still in use to discover evidence for climate change.
Life
Sebastian Finsterwalder was born 4 October 1862 in Rosenheim, son of Johann Nepomuk Finsterwalder, a master baker from Antdorf near Weilheim, Upper Bavaria, and Anna Amman of Rosenheim. He died 4 December 1951 in Munich). He was a Bavarian mathematician and surveyor. In 1892 he married Franziska Mallepell (d. 1953) from Brixen, South Tyrol. Their two sons worked in similar fields; (1899-1963), Professor at the Technical University in Hanover and Munich, and Ulrich Finsterwalder (1897-1988), a civil engineer.
A keen mountaineer, Finsterwalder became interested, through the influence of his friend E. Richter, in alpine fossils as indicators of the geology and structure of the Alps and their glaciers. His desire for accurate, but also less costly, motion measurements on glaciers led him to glaciological applications of photogrammetry in geodesy.
In 1886, aged 24, he received his doctorate from the University of Tübingen, under the guidance of the algebraic geometer Alexander von Brill. Finsterwalder observed that Rudolf Sturm's analysis of the "homography problem" (1869) can be used to solve the problem of 3D-reconstruction using point matches in two images; which is the mathematical foundation of photogrammetry.
Finsterwalder pioneered geodetic surveys in the high mountains. At the age of 27 years he conducted a first glacier mapping project at Vernagtferner in the Ötztal Alps, Austria.
Research and applications of photogrammetry
Following the 1878 work of Italian engineer Pio Paganini of the Istituto Geografico Militare and others, Finstenwalder advanced methods for reconstruction and measurements of three-dimensional objects from photographic images.
He was appointed professor at the Technical University of Munich in 1891, succeeding his teacher, A. Voss, at the Department of Analytical Geometry, Differential and Integral Calculus (remaining at the university for forty years until 1931). The next year, he married, and completed the first recording of the Bavarian glacier in Wettersteingebirge and the Berchtesgaden Alps.
He applied the technique of plane table photogrammetry in addition to a conventional geodetic survey, assisted by the novel lightweight, accurate phototheodolite that he had developed for high-mountain applications. The device was based on the prototype phototheodolite developed by (1834-1921) for architectural applications. From 1890 Finsterwalder also employed aerial photography, reconstituting the topography of the area of Gars am Inn in 1899 from a pair of balloon photographs using mathematical calculations of many points in the images.
In 1897 Finsterwalder addressed the German Mathematical Society, and he described some of the results of projective geometry he was applying to photogrammetry. His theory of large triangle meshes became known as the "Finsterwaldersche fields method" (1915). His analytical approach was laborious however, prompting development of analogue instrumentation with stereo measurement permitting faster optical/mechanical reconstruction of the photographic data arrays to determine object points. This was assisted by new technology; Carl Pulfrich's stereocomparator (1901) and Eduard Ritter von Orel's stereoautograph (1907), both instruments built by the company Carl Zeiss.
In 1911 he took over the chair of descriptive geometry, turning down offers of appointment from Vienna, Berlin and Potsdam.
Aerodynamics
Felix Klein commissioned Finsterwalder while the latter was professor of mathematics at the Munich polytechnic, to write on aerodynamics for his Enzyklopädie der mathematischen Wissenschaften mit Einschluss ihrer Anwendungen (EMW) (tr. 'Encyclopedia of mathematical sciences including their applications'). The article, which he submitted in August 1902, more than a year before the Wrights achieved powered flight is thus prescient in its insights into the mathematics behind this new field of engineering. Finsterwalder also worked with Martin Kutta (1867-1944) at the Institute in Munich to devise formulas relating to the lift on an aerofoil in terms of the circulation round it. Kutta's habilitation thesis, completed in the same year, 1902, with which Finsterwalder assisted, contains the Kutta-Joukowski theorem giving the lift on an aerofoil.
Glacier flow in the Ötztal Alps
In 1922 Finsterwalder mapped the topography of the Ötztal Alps focusing on two glaciers, i.e. and , using stereophotogrammetry. During this work he discovered rock glacier and the rock glacier north of . In 1923 and 1924 Finsterwalder measured a flow velocity profile across Ölgruben rock glacier. Because of Finsterwalder's efforts, Ölgruben rock glacier became the subject of a notably extended, longitudinal study of flow velocity with high value in climate research, with repeat surveys undertaken by Wolfgang Pillewizer in 1938, 1939, and 1953 using photogrammetry, and which is still ongoing, employing modern satellite-based positioning techniques. His son Richard assisted in the mapping project in the Ötztal Alps and went on to advance his father's studies.
Other contributions
Under his leadership the Bavarian International Commission for Geodesy undertook precise gravity measurements with relative gravimeters throughout Bavaria.

Stawley is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated west of Taunton. The parish has a population of 279 and includes the village of Kittisford and the hamlets of Appley, Greenham and Tracebridge.
History
The manor was recorded in Domesday Book of 1086 as held by Robert and Herbert from the overlord Alfred d'Epaignes. Later the manor was the property of the Powlett family of Hinton St George.
The parishes of Kittisford and Stawley were part of the historic Milverton hundred,
Hill Farm was built in the late 16th century. It is a Grade II* listed building. The farm now has around 100 goats and makes three kinds of cheese.
Greenham
The hamlet of Greenham is located on the banks of the River Tone, and has two historic houses within its area. The 19th century St Peter's Church, Greenham, was built in the Gothic Revival style and was consecrated on 7 July 1860 on land given to the parish by Thomas Edward Clarke, of Tremlett House. In its graveyard is buried Sir Edward du Cann (1924-2017), the longtime Member of Parliament for Taunton Deane and former owner of Cothay Manor.
Historic estates
Cothay Manor House was built around 1480.
Greenham Barton was built in 1280.
Kittisford Barton. Gerald Gardiner took the title "Baron Gardiner of Kittisford" when he was made a life peer.
Amenities
Since 1999 work has been underway to move and re-establish the village shop and post office, which opened on a new site in 2006 near the primary school.
Governance
The parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the council’s operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The parish council evaluates local planning applications and works with the local police, district council officers, and neighbourhood watch groups on matters of crime, security, and traffic. The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning. Conservation matters (including trees and listed buildings) and environmental issues are also the responsibility of the council.
For local government purposes, since 1 April 2023, the village comes under the unitary authority of Somerset Council. Prior to this, it was part of the non-metropolitan district of Somerset West and Taunton (formed on 1 April 2019) and, before this, the district of Taunton Deane (established under the Local Government Act 1972). From 1894-1974, for local government purposes, Stawley was part of Wellington Rural District.
It is also part of the Taunton Deane county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
Geography
The soil consists of clay, with a subsoil of sandstone and limestone. The village has a high density of rare flora and fauna, including eight species of endangered birds.
Religious sites
The parish Church of St Michael dates from the 13th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. The church register dates from 1528.
The Church of St Nicholas in Kittisford dates from the 15th century.

Harrison Collins (March 10, 1836 – December 25, 1890) was an American soldier who received the Medal of Honor for valor during the American Civil War.
Biography
Harrison Carl Collins was born on March 10, 1836 in Hawkins County, Tennessee, before it became Hancock County. Hancock County was created from parts of Hawkins and Claiborne counties in 1844.
Collins served in the American Civil War in the 1st Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry for the Union Army. He enlisted as a private in Company A of the 1st Tennessee Cavalry (USA) on March 9, 1862. He served in the Federal army just over three years, being discharged in June 1865.
After the war, Harrison moved back to his home on Newmans' Ridge in Hancock County. Soon after, he moved his family to Isabella, Missouri in the Ozark Mountains where he lived the rest of his life. Harrison died on Christmas Day of 1890 in Isabella, Missouri.
In 1996, his remains were recovered from an unmarked gravesite and were re-interred with full military honors at the Springfield National Cemetery in Springfield, Missouri.
Medal of Honor citation
Citation:
During the Civil War, three soldiers from the state of Tennessee were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. As a Corporal, Harrison Collins was the first Tennessean to receive that honor. He received the award on 24 February, 1865 for his heroic actions during the Battle of Nashville. The Battle of Nashville is considered one of the most decisive battles of the Civil War; decisive because it ended the last major Confederate offensive in the Western Theater, and decisive because it was an undisputed victory for the Union
Capture of flag of Chalmer's Division (C.S.A.). On Christmas Eve of 1864, at the Battle of Richland Creek, Corporal Harrison Collins observed a Confederate Major attempting to rally his troops around a Confederate banner. Cpl Collins led a charge to kill the standard bearer, capture the flag and disrupt the enemy's rally. He was successful in capturing the headquarters standard of General Chalmer’s C.S.A. Division, and the Federal forces chased the retreating army all the way to the Tennessee River

Henry Nock (1741–1804) was a British inventor and engineer of the Napoleonic period, best known as a gunmaker. Nock produced many innovative weapons including the screwless lock and the seven-barrelled volley gun, although he did not invent the latter despite it commonly being known as the Nock gun. He was a major supplier to the military during the Napoleonic wars. His high quality duelling pistols and double-barrelled shotguns were much sought after and it is largely through Nock that the latter became the weapon of choice for hunters.
As well as supplying the military and civilian markets, Nock made expensive pieces for the aristocracy and royalty and was an appointed gunmaker to the king. Nock's business eventually became Wilkinson Sword, a company which today makes razor blades and other shaving equipment and, until 2005, made officer's swords for the British Army.
Guns
Nock produced many innovative weapons. In 1793, he made a double-barrelled pistol with a removable stock for the Royal Horse Artillery. However, this weapon was impractical with the stock removed and was usually used as a carbine. In 1797, Nock put into production a 9-inch pistol (pattern 1796) for heavy dragoons with a calibre matching their carbines. Some of these pistols had a novel lock designed by Nock, originally intended for an abandoned musket design requested by the Duke of Richmond in 1786 while serving as Master-General of the Ordnance. The new lock could be dismantled by removable pins rather than the previous more cumbersome and time-consuming screws. The pattern 1796 had no butt-plate and the ramrod was stored in the holster rather than attached to the barrel. This feature made it unpopular with users and many guns were modified to take a conventional swivel ramrod.
The name of Nock is perhaps best known today for the multi-barrelled Nock gun due to it being featured in several films. These include uses of this volley gun by the characters Patrick Harper in Sharpe and Jim Bowie in The Alamo. Nock was the manufacturer, but not the inventor, of this weapon. Despite its portrayal in film, this weapon was not very practical as a hand weapon due its very severe recoil, often causing injuries, and the time needed to reload the seven barrels. It was necessary to abandon the rifling of the early prototypes and reduce the charge to keep this problem manageable. Intended as a naval weapon fired from the rigging to repel boarders on the deck, it was retired by the Royal Navy in 1804. Nock also produced some experimental rotating multi-barrelled guns to fire one barrel at a time.
In his own day, Nock was most well known for his double-barrelled shotguns. He was not the first to make weapons in such a format, but their high quality and Nock's many innovations led to shotguns becoming highly popular as a hunting gun, especially after Nock became gun maker to the king. Nock was also well known for his duelling pistols.
Nock made weapons covering the whole field from pistols to muskets. The great variety is perhaps illustrated by his coach blunderbuss which, like naval pistols, had a more corrosion resistant brass barrel. Such weapons were intended to be used at short range and did not take a large enough charge to require iron barrels. Nock continued to innovate until his death – late in life he was making breech loading muskets.
Career
Nock started out as a locksmith, but he took out a patent for a gun lock in 1775. Nock was not yet enrolled in the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers and could not trade under his own name. He formed Nock, Jover & Co. with William Jover, a Master of the Gunmakers Company and the patent bore Jover's name as well as Nock's along with one John Green. War with the American colonies provided a strong market for Nock's products.
James Wilson came to Nock in 1779 to make the prototypes for his volley gun design. Nock won the subsequent competitive bid for the production of the gun. The weapon is consequently commonly referred to as the Nock gun. Nock also produced some volley guns and volley pistols for the civilian market but in very small numbers. This included a set of these weapons for the Royal Household which is still in the Queen's collection today. This set is not standard production. It has, for instance, silver mounts by Mark Bock, a London silversmith.
Following the conclusion of the American Revolutionary War, there was a fall in the demand for military small arms. In this period Nock turned to the civilian market, but also had profitable orders for locks for light to medium calibre (3–12 pounder) naval guns.
In 1784 Nock finally became a Freeman of the Gunmakers Company. A few years later the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars ensured that Nock was not short of government business. The Duke of Richmond preferred Nock over his competitors for his innovations, particularly the screwless lock. Nock began delivering muskets in 1792 but orders for the regular army dried up because Nock's non-standard design took too long to make and used a different calibre ammunition. Thereafter Nock concentrated on supplying muskets to local militia preparing for an expected invasion. In 1804 the government placed a contract with Nock to replace all the Nock locks on their stock of Duke of Richmond pattern muskets with standard ones. Although the Nock locks were recognised as being superior, the need for standardisation took precedence.
In 1789 Nock was appointed gunmaker-in-ordinary to King George III, largely as a result of his patented breech for hunting guns and other inventions. In 1802 Nock became Master of the Gunmakers Company. He died at Sutton in December 1804, aged 63.
Legacy
Nock's will was generous to his employees and specified that his business was to be continued for six months for their benefit. He also left as much as £100 (inflation adjusted £) to some employees.
A nephew of Henry, Samuel Nock, was an apprentice under him. Samuel also proved to be inventive, holding a patent himself. Samuel became Gunmaker-in-Ordinary in succession to George III, George IV, William IV and Victoria and in 1836 became a Master of the Gunmakers Company. However, Henry Nock's own business was continued by his foreman and son-in-law James Wilkinson. Wilkinson became Gunmaker-in-Ordinary to the king in 1805. Contracts with the East India Company ensured the success of the business. The name became James Wilkinson & Son around 1818 when James' son Henry joined. Henry died in 1864 but the company continued making firearms and bladed weapons and became known as Wilkinson Sword. A series of new laws in the UK, starting with the Pistols Act 1903, restricted the sale of firearms to the public. That pushed the company into changing direction and it henceforth concentrated on razor blades and other domestic products. It continued to produce swords for the British Army and for royal ceremonial purposes until 2005 when the sword manufacturing plant in Acton, West London, was closed. The company continues to make shaving and gardening products.

The reading clerk of the United States House of Representatives reads bills, motions, and other papers before the House and keeps track of changes to legislation made on the floor. During the vote for Speaker at the beginning of each Congress, or when the electronic voting system fails, the clerk calls the roll of members for a recorded vote.Traditionally, the reading clerks are appointed by the leaders of the majority and minority parties. For instance, Paul Hays was appointed by the then-Minority Leader Robert H. Michel, for the Republican party. Beyond this procedure for appointment, the party status has no significance.
Reading clerks work for the Office of Legislative Operations, one of nine offices that fall under the jurisdiction of the clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Barrios (which are, in contemporary times, roughly comparable to minor civil divisions) in turn are further subdivided into smaller local populated place areas/units called sectores (sectors in English). The types of sectores may vary, from normally sector to urbanización to reparto to barriada to residencial, among others.
The following sectors are in Arenas barrio:
, and .
In Arenas barrio is part of the Cidra urban zone.

The relict leopard frog (Lithobates onca) is a species of frog in the family Ranidae, endemic to the United States.
Distribution and habitat
Its historic range is along the Colorado River in extreme northwestern Arizona, and adjacent Nevada and southwestern Utah, although true to its name, its present range seems to be restricted to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada, rendering it extirpated in Arizona and Utah. Its natural habitat is freshwater springs and their outlets.
Conservation
It is threatened by habitat loss to agriculture and water development as well as invasive species.

Zdeňka Honsová (3 July 1927 in Jihlava – 16 May 1994) was a Czech gymnast who competed in the 1948 Summer Olympics.
Honsová was the highest women's gymnastics individual all-around scorer at these Olympics, continuing the legacy of major-games-all-around-first-place-winning established by her Czechoslovakian compatriate, the sport's first-ever women's World All-Around Champion and twice-first-place-finisher in the combined individual standings, Vlasta Děkanová, and continued later by another of her Czechoslovakian compatriates, two-time Olympic All-Around Champion Věra Čáslavská.
Honsova had a truly outstanding competition at these games in 1948, coming in 1st place in the individual total combined standings, the individual compulsory exercise combined standings, Flying rings, and balance beam (combined compulsory and voluntary score). She was also the 2nd-place finisher on compulsory beam ( behind her teammate Bozena Srncova ), and the 4th-place finisher on compulsory vault.
Unfortunately, Honsová is not officially recognized as being an Olympic All-Around Champion like women gymnasts such as Larisa Latynina, Čáslavská, Nadia Comăneci, Elena Shushunova, or Simone Biles because individual medals were not awarded to women gymnasts at the Olympic games until 1952. This is a lack-of-individual distinction that she shares with Trudi Meyer as well as with whoever was the highest scorer of the women's gymnastics competition at the 1928 Amsterdam Summer Olympic Games.

Boll Weevil was a casual dining chain of hamburger restaurants located in San Diego, California, United States.
History
Boll Weevil was founded in 1966 by Fred and Lorraine Halleman. The original location was adjacent to the upscale Cotton Patch steakhouse, with the Boll Weevil name referring to a smaller restaurant spawned from a cotton patch. Both were located in San Diego on Midway Drive, near Barnett Ave and Pacific Highway in Point Loma. In the first Boll Weevil restaurant, beef left over from the trimmings of prime steak prepared at the Cotton Patch steakhouse were used to prepare burgers. Because of the success of the chain of Boll Weevil restaurants, the Cotton Patch eventually closed. Entrepreneur Fred Halleman assisted in establishing 20 Boll Weevil restaurants across the country. On September 15, 2008, the company-owned restaurants were closed down as the parent company entered Chapter 7 bankruptcy. A few independently owned franchise stores remain open.
As of July 2017, the website representing the remaining locations (which are independently owned) lists five stores still operating.
Decor
Boll Weevil restaurants were decorated in a style reminiscent of the American Old West, and also featured pool tables and video games.
Reception
While discussing Hodad's, OB Rag editor Frank Gormlie criticized the food served at Boll-Weevil's as being too greasy. San Diego Reader editor Ben Kers included Boll Weevil in his list of "fourteen more things you’ll never see in San Diego again". He said that while there are still a few restaurants bearing the name, he felt that the food was no longer the same as it once was.

Krzywonoś is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Szydłowo, within Mława County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.
World War II
Following the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, in the winter of 1940 on an area of a vast military training range was built by prisoners of the Soldau concentration camp nearby. Some fifteen villages around Krzywonoś were completely dismantled to make room for it. It was known as the Truppenübungsplatz "Mielau", nicknamed the New Berlin. The facility was used by the Nazis for repairing and refitting army tanks in Operation Barbarossa, and for testing anti-tank weapons and artillery.
The Polish settlements destroyed to make room for the new range included Nosarzewo, Dębsk, Nieradowo, Marianowo, Pawłowo, Kluszewo, Garlino, Zalesie, Żarnow, Zawady, Wiksin, Rąbierz, Kołakow, Budy, and Niemyje. Some were never rebuilt. Similar Nazi German military ranges in occupied Poland included the SS-Truppenübungsplatz Heidelager located in Pustków and the SS-Truppenübungsplatz Westpreußen located in Dziemiany.

The Antlia-Sextans Group is a small grouping of galaxies in the constellations Hydra, Sextans, Antlia and Leo. It is generally considered to be at the very edge of the Local Group and thus part of it. However, other researchers indicate it is an independent group, and thus the nearest group to the Local Group. It is, on average, approximately 4.3 million light-years away from the Milky Way.
Members
The Antlia-Sextans Group consists of the galaxies NGC 3109, Sextans A, Sextans B, Antlia Dwarf, Leo P and Antlia B. Leo A might also belong to the group, but this is considered unlikely.
NGC 3109
NGC 3109 is the largest and dominant member of this group, with a diameter of 41,700 light-years, almost half the diameter of the Milky Way. It was the first discovered member of the group, discovered in 1835. It is also second closest to Earth, at a distance of 4.348 million light-years away. It was thought to be an irregular galaxy, but is now theorized to possibly be a barred spiral. It seems to be a galaxy with no central core. Based on spectroscopy of blue supergiants in NGC 3109, it is known that the galaxy has a low metallicity, similar to that to the Small Magellanic Cloud. It is one of the most metal-poor galaxies in the Local group, if it is included.
NGC 3109 seems to contain an unusually large number of planetary nebulae for its luminosity. It also contains a substantial amount of dark matter.
From measurements of the neutral atomic hydrogen in the galaxy, it has been found that the disk of NGC 3109 is warped.
Antlia Dwarf
Antlia Dwarf is the smallest and closest galaxy in the group, only 2,610 light-years in diameter at a distance of 4.305 million light-years. The gas in the Antlia Dwarf galaxy has the same radial velocity as a warp in the disk of NGC 3109, indicating that the two galaxies had a close encounter approximately one billion years ago.
Sextans A
Sextans A is 7,990 light-years in diameter, and square-shaped, and contains numerous star clusters, located at the distance of about 4.658 million light-years away. Sextans A has a peculiar square shape. Massive short-lived stars exploded in supernovae that caused more star formation, triggering yet more supernovae, ultimately resulting in an expanding shell. Young blue stars now highlight areas and shell edges high in current star formation, which from the perspective of observers on Earth appears roughly square. The 10.4m telescope Gran Telescopio Canarias recently observed the OB-type stars that power the giant HII regions. Sextans A have formed a pair with the most remote galaxy in the group, Sextans B.
Sextans B
Sextans B is the second largest galaxy in the group, with a diameter of 8,900 light-years. Sextans B is the most distant from Earth in the group, at 5.101 million light-years away. Sextans B has a uniform stellar population, but the interstellar medium in it may be inhomogeneous. Its mass is estimated to be about 2 × 108 times the mass of the Sun, of which 5.5 × 107 is in the form of atomic hydrogen. Star formation in the galaxy seems to have proceeded in distinct periods of low intensity, separated by shorter periods of no activity. The existence of Cepheid variables in the galaxy implies that Sextans B contains at least some young stars. The metallicity of Sextans B is rather low, with a value of approximately Z = 0.001. Sextans B is receding from the Milky Way with a speed of approximately , and probably lies just outside the edge of the Local Group, so as its neighbour Sextans A.
Five planetary nebulae have been identified in Sextans B, which is one of the smallest galaxies where planetary nebulae have been observed. These appear point-like and can be identified by their spectral emission lines. It also contains a massive globular cluster.
Leo P
Leo P (AGC 208583 ) is a small irregular galaxy discovered in 2013. It is only 0.4 Mpc from the Sextans B, so it is considered as a member of this grouping. It is the most distant member of all, with a distance of 5.3 million light years.
Antlia B
Antlia B is recently discovered small galaxy. It is known to be a satellite of NGC 3109, and is similar to the Antlia Dwarf in many ways, and is transitioning from an irregular galaxy to a dwarf spheroidal.

The Defiance Plateau, part of the geologic Defiance Uplift, is an approximately 75-mile (121 km) long, mostly north-trending plateau of Apache County, Arizona, with its east and southeast perimeter, as parts of San Juan and McKinley Counties, New Mexico.
The west and southwest of the plateau region borders the east, southeast of the Painted Desert, where the Puerco River enters the desert, flowing southwest from New Mexico then meeting the Little Colorado River which flows northwest through the Painted Desert – (light tan & arc-shaped), to the Colorado River (at the northeast of the Grand Canyon). The Puerco River is the plateau's border on the south and southeast; at the northwest, the Black Mesa is the northwest border, and the north of the Defiance Plateau is bounded by the south of the Chinle Valley, where Chinle Creek flows north to meet the San Juan River in southeast Utah.
The north terminus region of the Defiance Plateau contains three canyons, with watercourses flowing due-west, as headwaters of Chinle Creek. The canyons are the Canyon de Chelly National Monument; two other canyons are southwest, part of the five canyon system, Little White House and Three Turkey Canyons.
The Defiance Plateau is part of the Navajo Nation. At the plateau's southeast, on Black Creek lies the site of Window Rock, Arizona, the Navajo Nation capitol.
The highpoint of the plateau is Fluted Rock, southwest of Sawmill, Arizona, .
Description
The Defiance Plateau is the central area of an uplifted region. To the north/northeast are the Lukachukai Mountains, part of the Defiance Plateau border; they form a southeast section of Chinle Valley's border. South of the Lukachukais is the rest of the east border of the Defiance Plateau, the Chuska Mountains; the Chuskas trend northwest in the north; at the plateaus east, the Chuskas trend more southerly, and attached at the south is Manuelito Plateau, in New Mexico, the east border of the south-flowing Black Creek at the southeast perimeter region of the Defiance Plateau.
South and southwest
The south perimeter of the Defiance Plateau is bordered by the Puerco River, flowing southwest from the Continental Divide in northwest New Mexico. The Puerco intersects the Little Colorado River at the southeast edge of the Painted Desert, where the Little Colorado runs directly northwest (then due-north, and then back to northwest) to eventually meet the Colorado River. Numerous mesas trend from the northeast (west and southwest sides of the Black Mesa) as drainage basin perimeters feeding the Little Colorado. At the southwest of the Defiance Plateau, is Padre Mesa; north is Ganada Mesa, (Ganado, Arizona), and northeast of Grand Mesa is Oak Creek Mountain, where the plateau highpoint is located, Fluted Rock, 4-mi southwest of Sawmill, Arizona.
North and northwest
The northwest of the Defiance Plateau merges into the southeast of the Black Mesa, (southeast-trending, the same trendline as the Painted Desert). Black Mesa is also the west border of Chinle Valley, where the south-center, and southeast of the valley becomes part of the north perimeter of the plateau. Northeast and east are the mountain ranges that trend southward, and become the eastern parts of the Defiance Plateau. The Carrizo Mountains stand alone northeast; the Lukachukai Mountains are connected to the north Chuskas, and the extensive Chuska Mountains are attached to the Defiance Plateau at the east, with headwaters flowing west, or northwest into Canyon de Chelly or southeast Chinle Valley. In the south Chuskas, the Black Creek, and Red Lake, at the Red Valley region, southeast of Sawmill, form the final southeast perimeter region of the Defiance Plateau.
Plateau center region
The center region is near Sawmill, Arizona. Beautiful Valley to the northwest contains Nazlini Wash, where the wash is a southwest-tributary to the due-north flowing Chinle Creek system. The watershed origins also come from the southwest near Ganado, closer to the southwest Defiance Plateau perimeter. At Sawmill, northeast of Ganado is Bonito Canyon a northwest tributary to south-flowing Black Creek. The water divide separating the Chinle Creek watershed, (southeast, with Canyon de Chelly), is 3-mi north-northeast of Sawmill.
Geology
The Defiance Plateau is the topographic expression of the Defiance Uplift, a block of the Earth's crust that has been repeatedly elevated through geologic time. The uplift is asymmetric, dipping steeply into the Defiance monocline on its eastern boundary but gently (with dip angles typically less than three degrees) to the west. The uplift is relatively unfaulted, except for local faulting at Tsaile graben in the northwestern part of the uplift and the Wide Ruins fault zone across the southern part of the uplift. The uplift is separated from the Zuni uplift by the Gallup sag.
The central part of the uplift exposes Permian beds (Supai Group and Coconino Sandstone) while the outer portions of the uplift, particularly to the north, expose Triassic Chinle Formation. Strata as young as the Cretaceous Mesaverde Group are found around the flanks of the uplift, particularly on the Defiance monocline. The Permian beds rest unconformably on Proterozoic gneiss and granite, showing that the uplift existed in the Pennsylvanian and was stripped of sedimentary cover by erosion. The uplift was subsequently buried by sediments during the Mesozoic but was again uplifted and partially stripped in the late Jurassic or early Cretaceous, possibly contributing significant sediments to the Morrison, Dakota, or Cedar Mountain Formations.
Access to the region
US 191 traverses mesas on the west perimeter of the Defiance Plateau, from Interstate 40 on the south and southeast plateau perimeter, following the course of the Puerco River from New Mexico. At the plateaus southeast, IR-12-(BIA-12) traverses north from I-40 to follow the Black Creek rivercourse, in Arizona. At the north, IR-12 meets Red Lake (Arizona - New Mexico) and Navajo, NM in Red Valley; IR-12 then traverses northeast, intersecting with New Mexico Road 134 through the Chuska Mountains, turning east to meet U.S. 491.
IR-12, exits from NM 134 going north then northeast following the west flank of the Chuskas to meet US 191 north of Canyon de Chelly in the Chinle Valley-(at Lukachukai Creek, eventually reaching Round Rock, Arizona).
The center-south of the Defiance Plateau is traversed east-west by Arizona State Route 264. Window Rock is at the southeast, on Black Creek, (southern Chuskas, Manuelito Plateau); Ganado, Arizona is in the center-southwest plateau region, where the mesas trend northwesterly along the northeast perimeter of the Painted Desert. The west terminus of AZ 264 is Tuba City, Arizona adjacent U.S. 89.

Pill-splitting refers to the practice of splitting a tablet or pill to provide a lower dose of the active ingredient, or to obtain multiple smaller doses, either to reduce cost or because the pills available provide a larger dose than required. Many pills that are suitable for splitting (aspirin tablets for instance) come pre-scored so that they may easily be halved.
The practice is also referred to as tablet scoring.
It is unsafe to split some prescription medications.
Pill splitters
A pill-splitter is a simple and inexpensive device to split medicinal pills or tablets, comprising some means of holding the tablet in place, a blade, and usually a compartment in which to store the unused part. The tablet is positioned, and the blade pressed down to split it. With care it is often possible to cut a tablet into quarters. Also available as consumer items are multiple pill splitters, which cut numerous round or oblong pills in one operation.
Pill scoring
A drug manufacturer may score pills with a groove to both indicate that a pill may be split and to aid the practice of splitting pills. When manufacturers do create grooves in pills, the groove must be consistent for consumers to be able to use them effectively. Many manufacturers choose to not use grooves. The United States government Center for Drug Evaluation and Research makes the following recommendations for manufacturers when scoring pills with grooves:
Pills should only have grooves if the split dosage is at least the minimum therapeutic dosage of the medication
The split pill should not create a toxicity hazard
Drugs which should not be split should not be scored with a groove
The split pill should be stable for the expected temperature and humidity
The split pill should have an equivalent effect to a full pill at an equivalent dose
Dosage uniformity
In the U.S. "uniformity of dosage units" is defined by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), which describes itself as "the official public standards-setting authority for all prescription and over-the-counter medicines, dietary supplements, and other healthcare products manufactured and sold in the United States." More than 140 countries develop or rely upon US pharmaceutical standards according to the USP.
The USP standard for dosage uniformity expresses statistical criteria in the complex language of sampling protocols. The pharmaceutical dosage literature sometimes boils this down as requiring a standard deviation in dosage weight of less than 6%, which roughly corresponds to the weaker rule-of-thumb offered for public consumption that the vast majority of dosage units should be within 15% of the dosage target. "Dosage unit" is a technical term which covers oral medications (tablets, pills, capsules), as well as non-oral delivery methods.
A 2002 study of pill-splitting as conducted in four American long-term care facilities determined that 15 of the 22 dispensed prescriptions evaluated (68%) had fragment weight variance in excess of USP standards.
Cost savings
Pill-splitting can be used to save money on pharmaceutical costs, as many prescription pharmaceuticals are sold at prices less than proportional to the dose. For example, a 10 mg tablet of a drug might be sold for the same or nearly the same price as a 5 mg tablet. Splitting 10 mg tablets allows the patient to purchase half the number of tablets at a lower price than the same weight of 5 mg tablets.
Both specialist and generalist physicians are not sufficiently aware of and do not communicate with patients about the cost to them of medication.
Some potentially suitable medications
Randall Stafford of the Stanford School of Medicine published a study in 2002 of common prescription medications in the United States in which he evaluates pill splitting for "potential cost savings and clinical appropriateness". The study identifies eleven prescription medications that satisfied the study criteria, based on the American pharmaceutical cost structure, pill formulation, and dosages of the time. Most of the medications listed in the table from the psychiatric drug class are antidepressants.
Uniformity of split
Not all tablets split equally well. In a 2002 study, Paxil, Zestril and Zoloft split cleanly with 0% rejects. Glucophage was described as a hard tablet, requiring significant force, causing tablet halves to fly. Glyburide exhibited very poor splitting with many splitting into multiple pieces. Hydrodiuril and Oretic crumbled. Lipitor did not split cleanly, and the coating peeled. The diamond shaped Viagra tablets made location of the midline difficult. The worst result reported was Oretic 25 mg in which 60% of tablets failed to split to within 15% of target weight.
Alternative purpose
Some drugs have a few different uses, and are usually sold in different packages and different doses for different applications. The price for some applications may be very different from that for other purposes. One example is Minoxidil, which is well known as a hair-growth stimulant; the same drug under the name Loniten is used for blood pressure control in much larger doses at a much lower price per unit weight.
Risks
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has called pill splitting "risky". At the same time, the FDA approves the manufacture of pills which are intended to be split.
Splitting pills may result in uneven splitting and creating pieces which will not deliver accurate dosage. Pills which are split might not be correctly halved, making the cut pieces unequal in size. Some pills are difficult to split. Some pills (particularly some time release drugs) are unsafe to split, and there could be mistakes in identifying when pills should not be split.
Lawsuits
In a California court filing dated April 2001, Trial Lawyers for Public Justice (TLPJ) brought a class-action lawsuit against Kaiser Permanente (Timmis v. Kaiser Permanente) on the grounds that "Kaiser's mandatory pill-splitting policy endangers patients' health solely to enhance the HMO's profits" in violation of the California Unfair Competition Law (UCL) and the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA). In December 2004, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court ruling that Kaiser's policy did not violate UCL or CLRA, noting the suit had failed to present evidence that the policy was unsafe.

The newspaper was founded by a printer and a reporter in 1884 as The St. Louis Sunday Sayings. As The Evening Star-Sayings, the newspaper emerged as a competitor to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The newspaper became the St. Louis Star in 1896, and the Star-Chronicle in 1905. It returned to the St. Louis Star in 1908; the New St. Louis Star in 1913; and then back to the St. Louis Star in 1914.
In June 1932 The Star purchased The American Press, publisher of The Times, to create The St. Louis Star and Times. The Times was Republican, while The Star considered itself nonpartisan. Circulation of The Times exceeded 100,000 from 1916 to 1918. From 1918 circulation of The Star surpassed The Times.
On June 15, 1951, the newspaper printed its last edition following its sale to Pulitzer Publishing Co., publisher of the Post-Dispatch. The newspaper had mounted steady losses, which publisher Elzey Roberts attributed to "ever-mounting labor and material costs."

Rachel Levy (born 1968) is an American mathematician and blogger. She currently serves as the inaugural Executive Director of the North Carolina State University Data Science Academy. She was a 2020-21 AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow, serving in the United States Senate and sponsored by the American Mathematical Society. From 2018-2020 she served as deputy executive director of the Mathematical Association of America(2018-2020). As a faculty member at Harvey Mudd College from 2007-2019 her research was in applied mathematics, including the mathematical modeling of thin films, and the applications of fluid mechanics to biology.
This work was funded by The National Science Foundation, Research Corporation, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and US Office of Naval Research.
She now focuses on mathematics education, data science, and undergraduate mathematics research. She served as vice president for education of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), and as editor-in-chief of SIAM Undergraduate Research Online (SIURO), an online publication of SIAM for undergraduate research in applied mathematics.
She currently serves on the following advisory boards:
National Academies Roundtable on Data Science Postsecondary Education
Charles A. Dana Center Launch Years Consensus Panel
Education Advisory Board of the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM)
Mathematics Advisory Group (MAG) of Transforming Postsecondary Education in Mathematics (TPSE)
She was a co-founder of the BIG Math Network and the Math Modeling Hub.
She coined the acronym VITAL for faculty who are visitors, instructors, TAs, adjuncts and lecturers.
Education and career
Levy did her undergraduate studies at Oberlin College, completing a double major in English and Mathematics in 1989. She then earned a master's degree in Educational Media and Instructional Design in 1996 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, another master's degree in applied mathematics from North Carolina State University, and a PhD in 2005 from North Carolina State University. Her dissertation, Partial differential equations of thin liquid films: analysis and numerical simulation, was supervised by Michael Shearer.
She taught mathematics to secondary school and beginning college students from the time she was an undergraduate until her return to graduate school. After postdoctoral research at Duke University, she joined the Harvey Mudd College faculty from 2007 to 2019. At Harvey Mudd College, she was promoted to Professor of Mathematics and served as Associate Dean for Faculty Development. She was the Iris and Howard Critchell Assistant Professor from 2011 to 2012.
Contributions and publications
Levy co-authored Math Modelling: Computing and Communicating, a practical handbook for high school students with experience with computation and an interest in math modelling. (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2018)
With Richard Laugesen and Fadil Santosa, Levy is the author of a book for mathematical scientists seeking work, BIG Jobs Guide: business, industry, and government careers for mathematical scientists, statisticians, and operations researchers (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2018)
She is the lead author of the early grade section of the Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Mathematical Modeling Education (GAIMME) Report (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics and Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications (COMAP, 2018)
With Michael Shearer, Levy is the author of a textbook on partial differential equations, Partial Differential Equations: An Introduction to Theory and Applications (Princeton University Press, 2015).
Levy's research in applied mathematics has included work on surfactants, miniature robotic submarines, and flukeprints, the tracks left by whales on the surface of the ocean. She has also studied the use of flipped classrooms in undergraduate education.
She created a blog, Grandma Got STEM, about earlier generations of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and currently blogs for MAA MathValues.
