Q323847 The rock hyrax (Procavia capensis), also called rock badger, rock rabbit, and Cape hyrax, is a medium-sized terrestrial mammal native to Africa and the Middle East. Commonly referred to in South African English as the dassie (/dasiː/), it is one of the five living species of the order Hyracoidea, and the only one in the genus Procavia.Like all hyraxes, it is between 4 kilograms (9 lb) and 5 kilograms (11 lb) in mass, with short ears and tail.The rock hyrax is found at elevations up to 4,200 metres (13,800 ft) in habitats with rock crevices allowing it to escape from predators. It is the only extant terrestrial afrotherian in the Middle East. Hyraxes typically live in groups of 10–80 animals, and forage as a group. It has been reported to use sentries to warn of the approach of predators. Having incomplete thermoregulation, it is most active in the morning and evening, although its activity pattern varies substantially with season and climate.Over most of its range, the rock hyrax is not endangered, and in some areas is considered a minor pest. In Ethiopia, Israel and Jordan, it is a reservoir of the leishmaniasis parasite.Along with other hyrax species and the manatee, this species is the most closely related to the elephant.

Q736114 Donald Boyd Wilson (11 September 1910, Dunblane, Scotland – 6 March 2002, Gloucestershire, England) was a British television writer and producer, best known for his work on the BBC's adaptation of The Forsyte Saga in 1967 and co-creating the series Doctor Who.He attended the Glasgow School of Art, following which his first jobs were as a newspaper cartoonist and sketch writer.His initial career was in the film industry, including working for MGM at Elstree Studios, where he was Assistant Director of such films as Jericho (1937) and Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939). During the war he served with the Cameronians and the 43rd Wessex Division before afterwards returning to the film industry, and then in 1955 was recruited to BBC Television by the then Head of Drama, Michael Barry. As the Head of the Script Department, Wilson was ultimately responsible for overseeing the commissioning and development of all the original scripts and adaptations transmitted by BBC Television.When the Script Department was rendered redundant by Sydney Newman’s radical shake-up of the BBC Drama Department after his arrival as its head in 1962, the highly respected Wilson was given one of the most senior positions under Newman as Head of Serials. In this position, Wilson was responsible for overseeing the creation and development of a series that Newman himself had originally conceived; an educational science-fiction serial entitled Doctor Who. It was Wilson, together with Newman and staff writer C. E. Webber, who co-wrote the first format document for the programme.Wilson was responsible for much of the early development work on the show, although he did strongly attempt to dissuade producer Verity Lambert from using writer Terry Nation’s script featuring a race of aliens named Daleks. However, once the script had been made and transmitted to great success, he called Lambert into his office to admit that she clearly knew the show better than he did and told her that he would no longer interfere with her decisions.In 1965, Wilson gave up his position as Head of Serials to concentrate on realising a long-held ambition of bringing The Forsyte Saga to the screen. Acting as both adapter and producer, Wilson created one of the BBC’s most popular and successful drama serials of all time, which was a huge hit on its eventual screening on BBC Two in 1967, and was quickly repeated on BBC One. Later, he acted as adapter and producer again on such prestigious costume dramas as The First Churchills (1969) and Anna Karenina (1977), and also worked for Anglia Television on their series Orson Welles' Great Mysteries in 1973.After his work on Anna Karenina he retired to Gloucestershire, where he died at the age of 91 in March 2002.

Q13570122 A litmus test is a question asked of a potential candidate for high office, the answer to which would determine whether the nominating official would proceed with the appointment or nomination. The expression is a metaphor based on the litmus test in chemistry, in which one is able to test the general acidity of a substance, but not its exact pH. Those who must approve a nominee, such as a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, may also be said to apply a litmus test to determine whether the nominee will receive their vote. In these contexts, the phrase comes up most often with respect to nominations to the judiciary.
Q6859648 In mathematics, the Milliken–Taylor theorem in combinatorics is a generalization of both Ramsey's theorem and Hindman's theorem. It is named after Keith Milliken and Alan D. Taylor.Let P f ( N ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {P}}_{f}(\mathbb {N} )} denote the set of finite subsets of N {\displaystyle \mathbb {N} } , and define a partial order on P f ( N ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {P}}_{f}(\mathbb {N} )} by α<β if and only if max α<min β. Given a sequence of integers ⟨ a n ⟩ n = 0 ∞ ⊂ N {\displaystyle \langle a_{n}\rangle _{n=0}^{\infty }\subset \mathbb {N} } and k > 0, let [ F S ( ⟨ a n ⟩ n = 0 ∞ ) ] < k = { { ∑ t ∈ α 1 a t , … , ∑ t ∈ α k a t } : α 1 , ⋯ , α k ∈ P f ( N ) and α 1 < ⋯ < α k } . {\displaystyle [FS(\langle a_{n}\rangle _{n=0}^{\infty })]_{<}^{k}=\left\{\left\{\sum _{t\in \alpha _{1}}a_{t},\ldots ,\sum _{t\in \alpha _{k}}a_{t}\right\}:\alpha _{1},\cdots ,\alpha _{k}\in {\mathcal {P}}_{f}(\mathbb {N} ){\text{ and }}\alpha _{1}<\cdots <\alpha _{k}\right\}.} Let [ S ] k {\displaystyle [S]^{k}} denote the k-element subsets of a set S. The Milliken–Taylor theorem says that for any finite partition [ N ] k = C 1 ∪ C 2 ∪ ⋯ ∪ C r {\displaystyle [\mathbb {N} ]^{k}=C_{1}\cup C_{2}\cup \cdots \cup C_{r}} , there exist some i ≤ r and a sequence ⟨ a n ⟩ n = 0 ∞ ⊂ N {\displaystyle \langle a_{n}\rangle _{n=0}^{\infty }\subset \mathbb {N} } such that [ F S ( ⟨ a n ⟩ n = 0 ∞ ) ] < k ⊂ C i {\displaystyle [FS(\langle a_{n}\rangle _{n=0}^{\infty })]_{<}^{k}\subset C_{i}} .For each ⟨ a n ⟩ n = 0 ∞ ⊂ N {\displaystyle \langle a_{n}\rangle _{n=0}^{\infty }\subset \mathbb {N} } , call [ F S ( ⟨ a n ⟩ n = 0 ∞ ) ] < k {\displaystyle [FS(\langle a_{n}\rangle _{n=0}^{\infty })]_{<}^{k}} an MTk set. Then, alternatively, the Milliken–Taylor theorem asserts that the collection of MTk sets is partition regular for each k.
