Lee's Mill Earthworks
|
Lee's Mill Earthworks is a historic archaeological site located at Newport News, Virginia. The earthworks formed part of the fortifications along the James River, which included fortifications at Fort Crafford, as well as, Dam No.1, and Wynne's Mill in Newport News Park. On April 5, 1862, advance units of Union Brigadier General Erasmus D. Keyes' IV Corps, under the command of Union Brigadier General William Farrar Smith, encountered Confederate units commanded by Brigadier General Lafayette McLaws at Lee's Mill. Heavy rains and massive earthen fortifications defending the river crossing stopped the Union troops from proceeding to Richmond. Confederate Major General John B. Magruder's extensive defensives beginning at Lee's Mill and extending to Yorktown along the Warwick River caused the Union Army of the Potomac Commander Major General George B. McClellan to initiate a month-long siege of the Warwick-Yorktown Line which lasted until May 3, 1862 and contributed to the eventual failure of McClellan's campaign.
Lee's Mill has recently been preserved and is being transformed into a passive park with trails interpreting the fortifications. The earthen fortifications remain visible in many locations, including Newport News Park and the Lee's Mill subdivision. An active effort will be made to delineate, preserve and interpret these earthworks for the future.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

Simone Cipriani
|
Simone Cipriani (born 1964) is an officer of the United Nations. He created and he manages the Ethical Fashion Initiative of the International Trade Centre (ITC), which is a joint agency of the United Nations and the WTO. He is the Chair of the Steering Committee of the UN Alliance for Sustainable Fashion.
Career overview
Simone Cipriani was born in Pistoia, Tuscany, Italy, and completed his studies in Political Sciences and International Economy at the University of Florence.
The Ethical Fashion Initiative
The idea for The Ethical Fashion Initiative was born when Cipriani was introduced to skilled artisans living in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya. After a successful one-year trial, the Ethical Fashion Initiative became an ongoing United Nations project. The Ethical Fashion Initiative represents a new way of doing business in the fashion sector, making it possible for communities in slums and impoverished rural areas to be part of the international value chain of fashion. It empowers women by generating work, allowing them to become micro-entrepreneurs. This is achieved through a business support infrastructure that facilitates fair collaboration with fashion houses and large distributors. The Ethical Fashion Initiative also supports and promotes emerging design talent from Africa.
Underpinning its success is an economic system designed to work in areas of deprivation. Because of this system of logistics The Ethical Fashion Initiative is able to work over a vast geographical area, both in slums and disadvantaged rural areas. Cipriani is responsible for this system which has been praised by The Economist.
Personal life
Cipriani has three daughters with his wife Stefania Gori. He is connected by marriage to the Collezione Gori of Tuscany, which houses site-specific artworks, including sculptures by Daniel Buren and Sol LeWitt.

1905 New Forest by-election
|
The New Forest by-election was a Parliamentary by-election held on 6 December 1905. The constituency returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post voting system.
It was the last by-election of the 27th Parliament to take place before the 1906 general election.
Vacancy
Hon. John Douglas-Scott-Montagu had been Conservative MP for the seat of New Forest since the 1892 general election. His father, Henry John Douglas-Scott-Montagu died on 4 November 1905. He succeeded his father as Baron Montagu of Beaulieu and entered the House of Lords.
Electoral history
The seat had been Conservative since it was created in 1885. There had not been a contested election in the seat since 1892. The voting figures then were;
Candidates
The local Conservative Association selected 33-year-old Henry Francis Compton as their candidate to defend the seat. He was standing for parliament for the first time. He was the son of Henry Compton, of Minstead Manor House, Hampshire. He served as a Magistrate and as an officer in the 4th Volunteer Battalion Hampshire Regiment. His grandfather and uncle had also been Members of Parliament, the latter sitting for the New Forest Constituency between 1885 and 1892.
The local Liberal Association selected 69-year-old Robert Hobart as their candidate to gain the seat. He was also standing for parliament for the first time. Hobart was the oldest son of Henry Hobart, third son of the 3rd Earl of Buckinghamshire, and Charlotte Selina Moore, daughter of Richard Moore. He was a civil servant in the War Office between 1860 and 1900, and was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in 1885. In October 1901 the Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk, appointed him a Secretary to the Earl Marshal's office, to work on preparations for the 1902 coronation of King Edward VII. He received the 1902 Coronation medal and was knighted as a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO) for his services.
Campaign
Polling Day was fixed for the 6 December 1905, 32 days after the vacancy became known.
The two most prominent issues at the time of the by-election were Irish Home Rule and Tariff Reform. The issue of Home Rule was one that had split the Liberal Party back in 1886 with the Liberal Unionist's joining with the Conservatives to oppose it. The issue of Tariff reform was one that was currently dividing the Conservative Party, who had seen many of their Free Trade supporters leave to join the Liberals. Leading Liberal Unionist, Joseph Chamberlain had managed to persuade Conservative Prime Minister, Arthur Balfour and the party as a whole to support the introduction of trade tariffs on imports. The Liberal Party argued that these measures would increase the cost of food. Divisions within the government on this issue and others widened and on 4 December 1905, two days before polling day, the Conservative government of Arthur Balfour collapsed and he resigned as Prime Minister. Liberal Leader Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman then formed a government.
Result
The Conservatives narrowly held onto the seat but the fact that the Liberals had polled far better than they had in 1892 when the Conservatives nationally fell short of an overall majority, was a good indicator that the Liberals could win the next General Election:
This is how The Saturday Review viewed the result: "The New Forest Division of Hampshire has returned Mr. Compton the Conservative by a small majority; reduced, still a majority. A seat or two does not make a world of difference just now, and we could half wish that the New Forest electors had shown the grace to welcome the new Prime Minister by returning his supporter, Sir Henry Hobart. It would have been a pretty form of congratulation. However we can congratulate Sir Henry Hobart — a really earnest Liberal and very anxious to sit for a Hampshire constituency - on his good fortune ; it is not every man to whom is given, as Sir Henry will be, the chance to have a second shot within a month or so."
Aftermath
As Parliament was not sitting at the time, Compton was unable to take his seat. Prime Minister Campbell-Bannerman then dissolved parliament and called a General Election, at which Compton was defeated by Hobart:

Yi Seongbok
|
Yi Seongbok (, born June 4, 1952) is a South Korean poet.
Life
Yi Seongbok was born on June 4, 1952, in Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. Yi earned both his M.A. and B.A. from Seoul National University and has taught French Literature at Keimyung University in Daegu.
Career
Yi Seongbok's poetry evokes events and landscapes unfolding above a horizon of unlimited interpretive possibilities. As Kim Hyeon stated of Yi's poetry, "It vastly expands its meaning to permit endless questions, not only on an individual or private level, but on a collective and public one as well." Yi has attracted attention for his imaginative and multi-layered poetry which features European influences including Baudelaire, Kafka and Nietzsche and often attacks the corruption, hypocrisy, and perversion of the modern world.
Yi Seongbok's poetry suggests that all things exist in relation to other things, and that there is no core or isolated act. All binary categories—the collective versus individual or the social versus the ontological—are simultaneously one. But Yi's poetry does not deny opposition itself. Rather, through such distinctions, his poetic world reads more dynamically, and represents the overcoming of life's pain with the strength gained through the exchange of meanings from opposing categories

Arnold Thornely
|
Sir Arnold Thornely (7 October 1870 – 1 October 1953) was an English architect who practised in Liverpool. Although most of his designs were for buildings in Liverpool and the northwest of England, he is best known for the Parliament Buildings in Belfast, Northern Ireland (commonly known as Stormont). Thornely was knighted in 1932, and in the following year received the Bronze Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects for Ulster.
Biography
Arnold Thornely was the son of a cotton mill manager, born in 1870 in Godley, which was at that time in Cheshire. He was educated at a grammar school in Derbyshire, and then at the Liverpool School of Art. After being articled to Francis Usher Holmes and George Holme, he became an assistant in the Liverpool firm of Willinck and Thicknesse. In 1898 he established his own practice in Liverpool. He married Caroline Thornely in 1902 in St Paul's Church, Helsby, and with her had two children. In 1906 Thornely joined in partnership with Frank Gatley Briggs and Henry Vernon Wolstenholme, and was later joined by F. B. Hobbs. Latterly he worked with his brother Herbert Lionel Thornely, and they had an office in the Royal Liver Building in Liverpool. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1907, and was President of the Liverpool Architectural Society in 1910–11. In 1932 Thornley was knighted, and in the following year was awarded the Bronze Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects for Ulster. In his later years he lived in Cobham, Surrey, where he died in 1953. His estate amounted to over £89,000 (equivalent to £ as of ).
Works
Although most of his designs were for buildings in and around Liverpool, Thornely is best known for his design of the Parliament Buildings in Belfast, Northern Ireland (commonly known as Stormont), which were built between 1928 and 1932. With Hobbs he designed the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board Building (1903–07), and with Briggs and Wolstenholme a building for the Bank of British West Africa (completed in 1920). In 1923, with Herbert J. Rowse, he won a competition for the design of India Buildings in Liverpool. With Briggs and Wolstenholme, he also designed laboratories for the Geology Department of the University of Liverpool (1927–29), and an extension to the Walker Art Gallery (1931–33). Away from the centre of Liverpool, Thornely designed new premises for Liverpool Blue Coat School (1906), King Edward VII School, Lytham St Annes (1908), and town halls at Wallasey (1914–19), Preston, and Barnsley.

Vicente Salvador Gómez
|
Vicente Salvador Gómez (c. 1637–1678), was a Spanish Baroque painter.
Biography
Gómez was born in Valencia into a family of artists. He was the son of the painter Pedro Salvador, and he would start in the practice of painting with his brother Luciano, who would also become a painter of some renown imitating Flemish painting. In Valencia he starred as an "Academic Major" in the academy established in the convent of Santo Domingo.
He probably perfected his studies in the studio of Jerónimo Jacinto de Espinosa, whose influence is evident in his early works, and perhaps undertook a trip to Italy, a fact which could not be confirmed documentary. He was a painter as early as fourteen years old and painted some pictures of the life of St. Ignatius of Loyola for la Casa Profesa de Valencia.
In his voluminous preserved collection, the first works that can be dated with certainty is dedicated to San Vicente Ferrer in the chapel of the convent of Santo Domingo de Valencia ( 1665), paintings close to the work of Espinosa and not inferior. Very different are other works, considered later, in which the artist was interested in deep architectural perspectives, with a very dynamic treatment of the figures and a dramatic study of light, as can be found on the Purification of the Temple which now resides in the Museo del Prado.
His intellectual interests are reflected in his library, with works largely from the collection of Alonzo Cano, and his dedication to the front of the Academy of the convent of Santo Domingo, where theoretical and practical lessons taught drawing by artists to members of the nobility and clergy, which left a very vivid description by José García Hidalgo. Gómez wrote Primer and Painting rules that are not even published, fragmentarily preserved in the Royal Palace of Madrid Royal Library, dated 1674 and signed by him with the title "of the Holy Office and censor of the paintings in his decency and worship."

Sì (operetta)
|
Sì is an operetta in three acts composed by Pietro Mascagni to a libretto by Carlo Lombardo with verses by Arturo Franci. The libretto is based on Lombardo's operetta La duchessa del Bal Tabarin and libretto for Majestät Mimi set by Bruno Granichstaedten in 1911. Mascagni's only venture into operetta, it premiered on 13 December 1919 at the Teatro Quirino in Rome. The operetta takes its name from its central character, Sì, an actress at the Folies Bergère, so called because she could never say no. ("Si" is the Italian word for "yes".)
Background and performance history
The friendship of Mascagni and his librettist, Carlo Lombardo, dated from 1885 when both were working as conductors for Alfonso and Ciro Scognamiglio's travelling operetta company. Mascagni went on to devote himself to composing operas, while Lombardo specialised in operetta as a composer, librettist, and impresario. He directed the Calligaris-Lombardo operetta company and also founded Casa Lombardo, a music publishing firm dedicated to Italian operetta. According to Mascagni's biographer, Roger Flury, Lombardo "tricked" Mascagni into writing an operetta. After Masacagni had given him permission to adapt his opera Le maschere as an operetta, Lombardo proposed writing a new operetta using re-arranged music from various other Mascagni operas. As a sample of what he was planning, Lombardo produced some music from Mascagni's dramatic opera Silvano arranged as a comic duet. Mascagni, horrified by the potential "mutilation" of his scores, agreed to compose a completely new operetta instead.
It was to be his first, and only, venture into the genre. Lombardo wrote the libretto for Sì, basing it on his own operetta La duchessa del Bal Tabarin and on Felix Dörmann's libretto for Majestät Mimi set by Bruno Granichstaedten in 1911. Mascagni composed the score between 1918 and 1919 with some help on the orchestration from his cousin, Mario Mascagni.
Sì premiered on 13 December 1919 at the Teatro Quirino in Rome with several members of the Calligaris-Lombardo operetta company in the cast. The conductor was Lombardo's brother Costantino. The premiere was a great success, although Mascagni had been unhappy with the last-minute changes that the conductor had made to his score. In the ensuing years the operetta was performed throughout Italy to similar success. On 24 January 1925, it premiered in Austria at Vienna's Bürgertheater, sung in a German translation by Josco Schubert. On that occasion it was conducted by Mascagni himself, who restored the score to his original version. The German version conducted by Mascagni was also performed in Baden-Baden, Dresden, and Wiesbaden later that year. The work eventually fell out of the repertoire and has been only infrequently revived, most notably in 1987 at the Teatro Poliziano in Montepulciano (later released on CD) and in 2002 at the Vienna Volksoper with Eva Lind in the title role. Lombardo's libretto was also used in adapted form for Il re di Chez Maxim, a 1919 operetta by Mario Pasquale Costa.

Dortmund-Hörde station
|
Dortmund-Hörde station is a passenger station in the Dortmund district of Horde in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 4 station.
It is owned by Deutsche Bahn and is located on the Dortmund–Soest railway. The station had an important function as a freight yard, especially for traffic to and from coal mines and steel works. The old station was destroyed during the Second World War and replaced by a purpose-built station in 1955. The station was rebuilt between 2010 and 2013.
General
The two island platforms of the station are covered and are accessed by a pedestrian tunnel. Tracks 1 and 2 are on the line to Unna and Soest, while tracks 3 and 4 on the line to Schwerte and Iserlohn. The station was rebuilt between 2010 and 2013 and now provides access for the disabled.
History
The modernisation of the station was planned for years. This was reinvigorated in 2006 when an architectural firm presented plans for a spectacular renovation of the station, but the proposal failed. It was hoped that the development of the Phoenix-See (lake) near the station at that time would provide a new incentives for renovation, due to the expected increase in tourism and train traffic at the station.
The ground-breaking ceremony for the renovation of Horde station was held on 14 December 2009. The works included the raising of platforms, construction of three lifts, the installation of a passenger information system for mobility-impaired passengers and the renewal of the access tunnel. The old station building was demolished. In its place a developer has built a new two-floor building with a row of shops and a level for parking. The demolition of the dilapidated building built in the 1950s began on 29 March 2011. The old station was heritage-listed in the list of monuments of Dortmund. However, this did not prevent the demolition of the old station building and the establishment of a substantially different building including the complete redevelopment of the entire station forecourt.
Extensive building works were completed on the two platforms. The island platforms on tracks 1 and 2 and on tracks 3 and 4 have been rebuilt with the standard height of 76 cm and returned to service. The station building with its numerous commercial uses was completed in 2012. The first two lifts to the tracks were delivered late, and the third was completed at the end of 2013.
Services
Regional services
Trains run hourly, except for the RB 59 (Hellweg-Bahn) service, which runs every 30 minutes on weekdays. There are additional services on weekdays during the peak hour.
Stadtbahn Dortmund
Outside the station, there is a connection to an underground line (U 41) of the Dortmund Stadtbahn, operated by the Dortmund municipal transport operator, DSW21.
The Deutsche Bahn trains towards Dortmund Hauptbahnhof are rather less used by many local residents due to the direct competition from the Stadtbahn, even though the journey time is shorter. This is due to the better access for the elderly and disabled people and better access to the City at Kampstraße station.
Buses
The station is served by bus routes 427, 430, 432, 433, 434, 435, 436, 439, 440, 441, 442, 445 and 456 as well as night bus routes NE 5, 6, 25 and 40. All lines are operated by DSW21.

Southern Terminal Redoubt
|
Southern Terminal Redoubt is a historic archaeological site located at Newport News, Virginia. It is a uniquely intact component that represents the southern end of General John B. Magruder's defensive Warwick Line. It is a relatively small defensive earthwork that constitutes one of the few surviving and undisturbed remnants of the 1862 Peninsula Campaign in Virginia. It is representative of a major military feat significant to the outcome of the American Civil War and exemplifies diverse types of defensive adaptation. An archaeological investigation of this site could yield new insights into Civil War military architecture.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Fernand Deschamps
|
Fernand Deschamps (July 13, 1868 in Châtelineau – March 15, 1957 in Brussels) was a Belgian intellectual who participated in the great socio-economic and ethical debates in the first half of the twentieth century.
Biography
At the age of sixteen Deschamps started working in the metal industry Many years later he obtained the title of Doctor of Laws after he passed the examination by the Central Board of State (in Leuven). He continued his studies at the Higher Institute of Philosophy (ISP) in Leuven and became editor of the newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle. In 1898, he won the first prize in philosophy and was assigned a scholarship enabling him to spend eighteen months in Germany at the universities of Bonn, Leipzig, Berlin and Hamburg. He remained in contact with the ISP and worked for the Catholic Social Review. He also contributed to an ISP publication as regards noticeable Catholic writers and became a member of the Society of Social Economy (SES ).
In 1900 he joined the Belgian Ministry of Education. At the same time he worked under the direction of Cyril Van Overbergh ' at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Louvain, as a guest lecturer and as co-secretary of the journal Sociological Movement which was an Annex to the Neo-Scholastic Review. He participated in the creation of the Belgian Society of Sociology, was together with Georges Legrand secretary of the above-mentioned journal and was engaged as a moderator in the controversies about sociology, torn between the religious (ethical) and scientific approach. During the same period he taught philosophy at the University of Antwerp "Extension for Ladies" of Mary Elizabeth Belpaire. In 1901 he went on a mission to the United States in order to study women’s rights, especially the right of women to vote (suffrage) A summary of his work appeared in the Journal of Sociology and as an annex to the Neo-Scholastic Review.
Through numerous reviews of books and numerous articles in various scientific journals of an intellectual, social and Catholic character, he defended, as a former disciple and follower of Désiré Mercier, the positivist thought of Auguste Comte. As from 1903, he first became a teacher, then a professor at the Higher Trade Institute in Antwerp where he supervised courses of economics, economic history and political economy. Later he joined the colonial University of Antwerp as a professor. During the First World War and the closure of universities, he found refuge in England at the University of Cambridge, Christ College. In 1933, his academic career ended and he was awarded the royal decree "emeritus" presented to him by Camille Huysmans. After the First World War, as a moderate Catholic he defended some of the ideas of Charles Maurras, but abandoned this path when these ideas took a turn he disapproved of.
Until 1940 he participated actively and extensively in socio-political and religious debates in Catholic journals such as Le Vingtième Siècle and La Libre Belgique, usually on the first page.
With his best friend Georges Legrand, professor of social economy at the university faculty of Agricultural Sciences of Gembloux, whom he met at the ISP, he shared his ideas as regards evolution and its development. His entire archives and personal library were destroyed during World War II, when his house was bombed shortly after Fernand Deschamps had left it.

David Davis, Maesyffynnon (coal owner)
|
David Davis, Maesyffynnon, (1821–1884), son of David Davis, Blaengwawr was a prominent Welsh coal owner and public figure. He built upon the work of his father and expanded the family's industrial holdings in the Aberdare and Rhondda valleys. He had two daughters, Mary and Catherine. Mary married H.T. Edwards, vicar of Aberdare and later Dean of St Asaph and Catherine married Sir Francis Edwards.
Career in industry
The family business, built up by his father, was based on the Aberdare Valley, and a number of collieries were opened south of Aberdare, such as that at Abercwmboi. During his father's last years, the family became involved in the early exploitation of the coal reserves of the neighbouring Rhondda Valleys, with the Davis family's operations being concentrated on Ferndale in the Rhondda Fach. Despite the huge loss of life at Ferndale in 1867 he was regarded as a good employer.
During the strikes of the 1870s, Davis was among the most conciliatory among the coal owners, endeavouring to bring disputes to an end.
The collieries of David Davis and Sons remained open throughout the lock-out of 1875. He later became vice-chairman of the South Wales Conciliation Board, chaired by H. H.Vivian.
A wealthy man, he had quarrying ventures in Merioneth, and became high sheriff of the county in 1869. He built a house at Arthog, between Dolgellau and Barmouth where his wife died in 1880.
Politics and public life
Davis was from an early age more interested in public life than his self-made father had been. As early as 1847 he was involved in public meetings called in response to the 1847 Education Reports. He became actively involved in the public life of the Aberdare Valley, as a member of the Aberdare Local Board of Health and Aberdare School Board. His educational interests also made him a generous supporter of the University colleges at Aberystwyth and Cardiff.
In the 1860s he was initially mentioned as a prospective Liberal candidate for the Merthyr Boroughs parliamentary seat. However, he declined the invitation and was prominent in Henry Richard's successful campaign for election as MP for the constituency. Davis presided at a number of Richard's meetings. At one such meeting, at Trecynon in late September, Richard criticised those who had sought to discourage him from contesting the seat, both publicly and privately (a veiled reference to Thomas Price of Calfaria). At the end of the meeting the crowd released the horses and drew Richard's carriage back to Davis's residence at Maesyffynon.
Like his brother, Lewis, was invited to contest the second seat there when Richard Fothergill retired in 1880.
Religion
Unlike his father, who remained an active Wesleyan throughout his life, David Davis, Maesyffynnon, became involved in a schism which led to the short-lived 'Wesleyan Reform' movement. The 'Reform' chapel at Aberdare eventually, became Congregationalist.
Later life
Davis died in 1884 at the residence of his brother, Lewis Davis, Ferndale.

Federation University Australia
|
Federation University Australia (Fed Uni) is a public, multi-sector university based in Ballarat in Victoria, Australia. The university also has campuses in Ararat, Horsham, Stawell, Churchill, Berwick, and Brisbane, as well as online technical and further education (TAFE) courses and Horsham's higher education nursing program.
Federation University is the fourth oldest tertiary education institution in Australia, having begun under predecessor institutions in 1870, during the Victorian gold rush. With the merger between the University of Ballarat and Monash University's Gippsland campus in 2013, the university changed its name to Federation University from 2014.
History
1870–2013
Tertiary education at Ballarat began in 1870, making it Australia's fourth oldest tertiary institution.
2014–present
On 6 September 2013, the Victorian Parliament passed legislation to establish Federation University Australia, The name change officially began in 2014. The then Vice-Chancellor justified the name change as an attempt to broaden the reach of the university nationally and internationally, and in fairness to the campuses outside Ballarat. The name was also the preferred name within the university, compared to 'State University of Victoria', 'Eureka University', 'Robert Menzies University' or 'Vida Goldstein University'.
Buildings and architecture
The former Ballarat Gaol, a maximum security prison that operated from 1862 until 1965, was located on the site of the university's School of Mines (SMB) campus, at the southern end of Lydiard Street. The area is known for being a well preserved Victorian era street. While the prison was mostly demolished in the 1960s, the old prison walls, gate and guard towers, as well as the residences of the governor and warden, still exist. One of the bedrooms was used by Bella Guerin, who in 1883 became the first woman to graduate from an Australian university. The campus also includes the old School of Mines buildings.

Ocypode brevicornis
|
Ocypode brevicornis is a species of ghost crab native to the Indian Ocean, from the Gulf of Oman to the Nicobar Islands. They are relatively large ghost crabs with a somewhat trapezoidal body. The carapace reaches a length of and a width of . They are a mottled brown to yellow in coloration. Like other ghost crabs, one of their claws is much larger than the other. Their eyestalks are large and elongated, tipped with prolongations at the tip known as styles. They are common inhabitants of open sandy beaches, living in burrows in the intertidal zone.
Taxonomy
Ocypode brevicornis was first described by the French zoologist Henri Milne-Edwards in 1837. However, his type specimens consisted only of two juvenile individuals from Pondicherry, India. In 1852, he again described the same species from adult specimens recovered from the same area as Ocypode platytarsis. In 1880, the American zoologist John Sterling Kingsley synonymized Ocypode brevicornis with Ocypode ceratophthalma. As a result, only Ocypode platytarsis was regarded as valid for the entirety of the 20th century. And most literature concerning the species refer to it as Ocypode platytarsis. In 2013, the Japanese carcinologist Katsushi Sakai and German carcinologist Michael Türkay discovered that the type specimens of Ocypode brevicornis and Ocypode platytarsis belonged to the same species. They restored the validity of the earlier name Ocypode brevicornis.
Ocypode brevicornis has also been frequently confused with Ocypode ceratophthalma, due to the fact that both species possess elongations of their eyestalks (styles). The variety Ocypode brevicornis var. longicornuta described by the American zoologist James Dwight Dana is now known to be a synonym of Ocypode ceratophthalma.
Ocypode brevicornis belongs to the genus Ocypode of the ghost crab subfamily Ocypodinae in the family Ocypodidae.
Description
Ocypode brevicornis are large ghost crabs with deep bodies. The carapace in adults ranges from in length, and in width. It is almost trapezoidal in shape, with the rear end distinctly narrower than the front. It is wider than it is long and covered with scattered rough bumps (tubercles). The upper margins of the eye sockets slant forwards on the inner half and backwards for the outer half. The edges of the eye sockets are rectangular.
The eyestalks are large and swollen with the cornea occupying most of the bottom half. The eyestalks exhibit prolongations (styles) on the tips like some other members of the genus. The styles may be absent or much shorter in juvenile specimens, as it only starts growing when the crab is around in length.
Like other ghost crabs, one of the claw appendages (chelipeds, the first pereiopod pair) of Ocypode brevicornis is much bigger than the other. The palm of the larger cheliped is long with a rough bumpy texture on the upper surface. The upper edges of the palm are covered with small bumps while the bottom edge is serrated. The inner surface of the palm of the larger claw in both sexes features stridulating (sound-producing) ridges, which is important for identifying different species within the subfamily Ocypodinae. In Ocypode brevicornis, the stridulating ridge is composed of a row of 23 to 28 tubercles. The smaller cheliped tapers towards a pointed end.
The first gonopod (appendages modified into sexual organs) of the male is stem-like. Its cross-section has three sides on the base ending in a slightly curving tip. A broad and flat palp is present. The covering (operculum) of the female genital opening is oriented lengthwise with a thick straight rim slanting backwards.
Adult Ocypode brevicornis are a mottled yellow to brown in coloration. Males have been observed to display brighter yellow colors, especially on their legs. Juveniles have almost perfect cryptic camouflage, making it very difficult to pick them out from their surroundings.
Ecology
Like other ghost crabs, Ocypode brevicornis live in deep burrows near the intertidal zone of open sandy beaches. They are generalists, scavenging carrion and debris as well as preying on small animals.
They are primarily nocturnal, though they may emerge during the day. They are swift runners, darting away to their burrows at the slightest sign of danger, even when the intruder sighted is still away. However, they can be approached much more closely at night, though they may still try to escape if illuminated.
Males of Ocypode brevicornis exhibit elaborate territorial displays. Like other ghost crabs, they produce sound and vibration by rapping their larger claws against the ground. They may also display "dances" on the approach of another ghost crab. Beginning with a rearing posture, the males conduct increasingly complex sideways movements ending by running around the intruder in circles until it retreats.
Distribution
Ocypode brevicornis are restricted to the Indian Ocean. They can be found from the Gulf of Oman to India, Sri Lanka, and the Nicobar Islands. They are one of six ghost crab species found in the Indian subcontinent, the others being Ocypode ceratophthalma, Ocypode cordimanus, Ocypode macrocera, Ocypode pallidula, and Ocypode rotundata.

Bhutan–Japan relations
|
The Bhutan–Japan relations refers to the diplomatic relations between Bhutan and Japan. Diplomatic relations were established on March 28, 1986.
Diplomatic mission
Japan has a non-resident embassy to Bhutan in New Delhi, India. Japan was planning to open a resident embassy in Thimpu by April 2014. One of the factors for opening a resident embassy in Bhutan is to counter China's influence in the region; however, budgetary constraints may serve as an obstacle to the plan. As of 2017, the ambassador to Bhutan is still resident at Embassy of Japan in India.
State Visit
Bhutanese monarch, Druk Gyalpo Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck and his wife Queen Jetsun Pema made a state visit to Japan from November 15–20 in 2011.
As for Japanese imperial family's visit to Bhutan, the first one was in March 1987 by Prince Naruhito, current Emperor Naruhito, the second one was in March 1997 by Prince and Princess Akishino, and the third one is in June 2017 by Princess Mako.
Disaster relief
Bhutan received aid from Japan regarding its disaster relief against glacial lake outburst floods. Director of the Department of Hydro-Met Services in Bhutan's Ministry of Economic Affairs, Karma Tsering, said that Bhutan is receiving assistance from the Japan International Cooperation Agency in developing a cheaper and more efficient early warning system to minimize losses and damages from sudden glacial lake outburst floods. The Japanese government is also coming up with a glacier lake inventory and has been conducting geological studies in the Himalayas. The Japanese agency plans to complete its project in Bhutan by 2016.
Tourism
Japan has a growing market for Bhutan's tourism. In early 2012, Phuntsho Gyeltshen, the officiating media focal person of the Tourism Council of Bhutan noted that the number of Japanese tourists who visited increased significantly and Japan is close to becoming the number one market of Bhutan's tourism. The official also noted that the drastic increase of Japanese tourists to Bhutan happened especially after King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema made a visit to the country. In 2011, 7,000 Japanese visited Bhutan. Japan was the second biggest market for Bhutan's tourism.

Thermotoga elfii
|
Thermotoga elfii is a rod-shaped, glucose-fermenting bacterium. The type strain of T. elfii is SEBR 6459T. The genus Thermotoga was originally thought to be strictly found surrounding submarine hydrothermal vents, but this organism was subsequently isolated in African oil wells in 1995. A protective outer sheath allows this microbe to be thermophilic. This organism cannot function in the presence of oxygen making it strictly anaerobic. Some research proposes that the thiosulfate-reducing qualities in this organism could lead to decreased bio-corrosion in oil equipment in industrial settings.
History
Discovery
The genus Thermotoga, previously thought only to be found around submarine hydrothermal vents, was discovered in North Sea oil wells. Due to this discovery, other wells in the area began being investigated, leading to the discovery of Thermotoga elfii in African oil wells in April 1995. T. elfii was gathered in a one-liter sample at the head of a well at 68 °C. Ravot et al. isolated this species by cultivation on a basal medium containing numerous different nutrients and resources (water, salt, glucose, sodium acetate, etc.) in the lab and then by using repeated trials of the agar shake dilution technique. These scientists concluded by determining the samples' purity through microscopy.
Taxonomy
The first name of Thermotoga elfii is derived from the Greek root "therm," which means heat. "Toga," which is a Roman term for an outer garment, is where the second part of the genus name originated. This is due to the outer sheath that wraps around the bacteria to protect it from the extreme temperature often associated with this thermophile. The latter name is derived from Elf-Aquitaine, the French oil company that owned the oil wells where T. elfii was first discovered.
Physiology and metabolism
Therotoga elfii colonies of 1 millimeter have been observed in a laboratory setting, but the actual structure of the rod-shaped T. elfii is between 0.5-3 micrometers long. Its protective outer sheath is the defining characteristic, which aided in providing T. elfii its name. This structure balloons over each side of the organism and protects it from extreme heat. When a Gram stain is performed on this organism, a gram-negative result is expected. T. elfii has flagella uniformly distributed around its body, making it a peritrichous bacteria. It is also an obligate anaerobe, meaning it cannot tolerate oxygen. Electron acceptors include thiosulfate, arabinose, bio-trypticase, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, ribose, sucrose, and xylose. Electron donors include acetate, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen.
Genome and phylogeny
The 16s RNA gene is 1,519 bases long with a GC content of 39.6 mol%. Due to T. elfii’s relatively new status, much information about the number of genes is still unknown. However, a 91.9% relative of this species, Thermotoga maritima, has been documented as having 1.86 million base pairs with 1,877 predicted coding regions. The phylogenic family for Thermotoga elfii contains organisms such as Thermotoga thermarum, Thermotoga maritima, and Thermosipho africanus, which have a roughly 90% relation to this organism.
Ecology
The genus Thermotoga contains some of the most thermophilic microorganisms known. It is composed of species that are thermophilic and hyperthermophilic which can thrive in temperatures as high as 80 °C. The optimum growth temperature for Thermotoga elfii, however, is 66 °C. The optimum pH is 7.5 and the optimum salinity is 1.2%.
Applications
Industrial applications
The discovery of T. elfii has been deemed significant as it has led to other discoveries of methanogens, thermophiles, and sulfate-reducing bacteria. This organism and the others discovered in this unique environment can help make progress in microbe-assisted oil recovery processes. Thiosulfate, often implicated in the corrosion of metals used in oil pipelines, is reduced to sulfide by Thermotoga elfii, which leads many scientists to believe it has a major role in preserving oil extraction equipment.
Environmental applications
In many anoxic thermal marine hot springs, thiosulfate oxidation often does not occur or occurs at an extremely slow rate. These thermophilic thiosulfate-reducers can play a key role in the mineralization of organic compounds to simpler, plant-accessible forms.

Thermotoga petrophila
|
Thermotoga petrophila is a hyperthermophilic, anaerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, fermentative heterotroph, with type strain RKU-1T. T. petrophila was first discovered and isolated from an oil reservoir off of the coast of Japan and was deemed genetically distinct from its sister clades. Because these organism are found in deep, hot aquatic settings, they have become of great interest for biotechnology due to their enzymes functioning at high temperatures and pressures.
Description
T. petrophila strain RKU-1 belongs to one of the deepest branching bacteria phyla, Thermotogota, but it is a member of a later branching clade within its genus Thermotoga. T. petrophila was first isolated from an oil reserve off the coast of Japan in 2001. This was the first time that this novel organism was morphologically and genetically described.
Morphological Characteristic
T. petrophila are rod shaped bacteria containing a sheath like structure that balloons at both ends called a toga. Typically, the cells size ranged from 2-7 µm long to 0.7-1.0 µm wide, and have flagella at the subpolar and lateral regions of the cell. The optimal growth rate occurs at 80°C, but growth is observed from 47-88°C. Wrowth occurs between pH 5.2-9.0 with optimum growth occurring at a pH 7. Ionic strength as well as oxygen availability affects the growth of T. petrophila negatively. It can grow and obtain carbon from the majority of sugars, excluding mannitol and xylose. While it cannot reduce sulfate to hydrogen sulfide, it reduces sulfur to thiosulfate which is further reduced to hydrogen sulfide.
Genotypic Characteristics
T. petrophila shares more than 99% of its 16S rRNA genetic sequence with its sister clade, T. maritima, T. neapolitana, and T. naphthophila, but each of these are distinct species as they share less than 30% similarity shown by DNA-DNA hybridization experiments. The G+C base content of the DNA is 46.6%. T. petrophila is also known to contain one of the smallest plasmids. Thermotoga petrophila RKU1 plasmid (pRKU1) is negatively supercoiled, contains 846 base pairs, and carries only the rep gene. Due to T. Petrophila being part of the deep branching bacterial lineages, some horizontal genetic transfer has occurred with the maltose transporter gene (mal3) and the archaeal lineage Thermococcales, while the mal1 and mal2 genes are more closely related to bacterial maltose transporter genes.
Metabolism
The majority of the Thermotogota species use the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas pathway to catabolize glucose, however, during the tricarboxylic acid pathway,T. petrophila, uses the malic enzyme to create a pyruvate intermediate. They oxidatively catabolize malate to succinyl-CoA and reductively produce succinate from malate.
Applications
Because these organisms are found near hyperthermophic deep sea oil rigs, their enzymes tend to be thermostable. Recently, the textile industry was investigating the fermentative scale up strategy of cloning the α – amylase gene from T. petrophila into E. coli. Their results indicate that the efficiency of this enzyme helps with the desizing of cotton cloth.
For the biofuel industry, cellulase enzyme genes from T. petrophila have been cloned and put into E. coli for an enhanced saccharification reaction from softwood dust. With nitric acid treatment and the transformed enzymes, the results revealed that lignin degradation was more efficiently optimized and that the recombinant cellulases actively hydrolyzed cellulose indicating that this method could potentially be used for better lignocellulosic based bioethanol manufacturing.
For medical purposes, T. petrophila K4 genetically engineered strain used its DNA polymerase (K4polL329A) for a detection method of acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection kit.

The Anglo-French Convention of 1898, full name the Convention between Great Britain and France for the Delimitation of their respective Possessions to the West of the Niger, and of their respective Possessions and Spheres of Influence to the East of that River, also known as the Niger Convention, was an agreement between Britain and France that concluded the partition of West Africa between the colonial powers by finally fixing the borders in the disputed areas of Northern Nigeria. It was signed in Paris on 14 June 1898, ratifications were exchanged on 13 June 1899.
Article IV of this convention was completed by a declaration signed in London on 21 March 1899 that, after the Fashoda Incident, delimited spheres of influence in northern Central Africa and the Sudan.

Thermotoga naphthophila
|
Thermotoga naphthophila is a hyperthermophilic, anaerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped fermentative heterotroph, with type strain RKU-10T.
Taxonomy
Taxonomical meaning
The taxonomic information for Thermotoga naphthophila is the following: Domain, Bacteria; Phylum, Thermotogae ; Order, Thermotogales ; Family, Thermotogaceae ; Genus, Thermotoga; Species, T. naphthophila . Thermotoga naphthophila is an anaerobic, sulfur-compound fixing, hyperthermophile. The species name is originally Greek. The term "naphtha" means a light petroleum substance that dilutes minerals to bitumen and "-philos" means love. This translation of the species name combines to form "bitumen-loving".
Phylogeny
Thermotoga naphthophila can be found under strain types RKU-10, DSM-13996, and JCM-10882T. T. naphthophila cell size ranges within 2-7 micrometers (m) long by 0.7- 1.0 m wide. Based on 16S rDNA sequences, Thermotoga petrophila, strain RKU-1, is the closest relative to T.naphthophila. Other close relatives of T. naphthophila include Thermotoga maritima and Thermotoga neapolitan according to 16S rDNA analysis. T. maritima has an average 5m length. Strains isolated from oil reservoirs, but not considered a part of the T. naphthophila clade include the following species: T. subterranean, T. hypogea, and T. elfii.
Discovery
Thermotoga naphthophila was discovered by Takahata et al. in the subterranean Kubiki oil reservoir of Niigata, Japan. This organism was found with another bacterium called Thermotoga petrophila, RKU-1. In order to transport the species samples, they were placed into sterile glass bottles in cooler boxes with ice. After arriving to the lab, the species were isolated on a medium of 0.2% yeast extract in artificial seawater at a pH of 7. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) was added to the sample at room temperature after taking out the yeast extract. Containers of liquid medium were placed into 30 milliliter tubes and subsequently exposed to H2 reduced copper furnace heat with oxygen free nitrogen. Then, sodium sulfide brought the pH of the medium to a range of 6.9-7.1 and the species were purified with Gelrite plating, an agar substitute. Thermotoga naphthophila naturally has a growth pH range of 5.4-9.0, but optimally prefers a pH of 7.0.
Exposure methods
Thermotoga naphthophila tolerance ranges for pH and sodium chloride (NaCl) concentrations were found using inoculated YE-mediums incubated at 80°C to view the species growth. Takahata et al. exposed the bacteria to various buffers in order to get a better understanding of pH effects. Various gas phases were used to expose the species growth in 10 mL mediums. Additionally, the growth of the species was exposed to 1% cellulose, kerosene, light oil, chitin, crude oil and A-heavy oil in duplicates of 30 mL mediums. Takahata et al. utilized a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and guanine and cytosine (GC) concentrations to collect metabolic product data from the species. Electron acceptors such as sulfate, thiosulfate, and elemental sulfur were investigated on YE-based mediums. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was used to amplify the DNA base sequence and collect the gyrase B (gyrB) subunit gene from true micro-organisms identified above.
Preliminary characteristics
Optimum growth
Thermotoga naphthophila and T. petrophila can grow at temperatures ranging between 47-88°C on yeast extract, peptone, glucose, fructose, ribose, arabinose, sucrose, lactose maltose and starch as sole carbon sources. While in the presence of thiosulfate, T. petrophila is inhibited and T. naphthophila continues growing. Elemental sulfur can be reduced to hydrogen sulfide through both T. petrophila and T. naphthophila. According to the Takahata et al. (2000), these two species are more phylogenetically related than any other Thermotoga species due to sugar use, elemental sulfur effects, and thiosulfate.
Genomics
Thermotoga naphthophila is a rod-shaped species. It has 2-7m in length by 0.8-1.2 m in width and multiple flagella. It also possesses a unique morphology trait exclusive to the Thermotoga genus, an outer sheath-like structure dubbed a “toga”. T. naphthophila is a hyperthermophile with an optimal temperature of 80°C (176°F), but can survive in 48-86°C (118.4-186.8°F). According to a 16S rDNA sequence analysis, its 1,809,823 GC content was 46.1 mol% which increases thermostability of the DNA.
Metabolism
Thermotoga naphthophila requires yeast extract, peptone, glucose, galactose, fructose, mannitol, ribose, arabinose, sucrose, lactose, maltose or starch as the sole carbon and energy source for nutrient requirements. Thermotoga naphthophila was unable to survive on proteins, amino acids, organic acids, alcohols, chitin, or hydrocarbons as a sole carbon and energy source. According to the Takahata et al., lactate, acetate, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen gas are its end products from glucose fermentation. Thermotoga naphthophila is unique, when compared to T. petrophila, in that it reduces elemental sulfur to hydrogen sulfide, but in the presence of elemental sulfur, its growth rate and cellular yield decrease. T. naphthophila also reduces thiosulfate to hydrogen sulfide at a lower rate. According to the previously mentioned article, the microbe's growth rate and cellular yield is not affected in the presence of thiosulfate.
Pathogenicity
No known studies have identified Thermotoga naphthophila as pathogenic. Takahata et al. observed the organism's sensitivity to various antibiotics on agar plates for 7 days at 70 °C. T. naphthophila is sensitive to 100 µg rifampicin, streptomycin, vancomycin or chloramphenicol per milliliter. Thermotoga naphthophila is a unique species of the Thermotoga genus in that it is one of the two known Thermotogales to have an operon in its genome that encodes for a phosphotransferase system sugar transporter (PTS). The PTS is a multicomponent system discovered by Saul Roseman in 1964. The PTS involves enzymes of the plasma membrane and in the cytoplasm. It is used by bacteria for active transport to intake sugar using phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) as the source of energy. The only other known Thermotoga with a PTS sugar transporter is Thermotoga sp. RQ2.
Significance
Thermotoga naphthophila RKU-10 and Thermotoga petrophila RKU-1 since both were discovered in the same area, they can provide the first information on gene distribution that occurs through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in hydrothermal ecosystems. Microbes in the order Thermotogales are used for chemical and food industrial processes due to their extreme thermophilic activity.
Thermotoga naphthophila RKU-10 was used to clone the β-galactosidase gene which is classified as a member of the GH-42 family,. Wallace et al. (2015), used the β-galactosidase gene to alleviate gastrointestinal cancer drug toxicity by observing structures and inhibition of the β-Glucuronidases micro-biome which is associated with the gene in Thermotoga naphthophila.

Steinar Baldursson, known by the mononym Steinar (born 1995) is a singer and songwriter.
Steinar was born in Grafarvogur, a district of Reykjavík. He released his debut album Beginning in Iceland on 15 November 2013 containing 9 tracks in English all written by Steinar himself. He collaborated with Stefán Örn Gunnlaugsson, Kristinn Snær Agnarsson, and Redd Lights. He described the making of the album as tiring as it took much longer than it should have. After writing the album he wasn't sure that he wanted to release the album in Iceland. When Sena, Iceland's largest record label, encouraged him to do so he decided to go for it and released the hit song "Up" as the first single off the album. Up was a tremendous success and stayed at the top of the Icelandic singles chart for 6 consecutive weeks. Later that same year he released the second single "You Know" which he describes as his favorite song off the album and in March 2014 he released Attention, the third single off "Beginning".
On popular culture
In early 2014 Steinar signed an endorsement deal with Nike in Iceland.

McBusted
|
McBusted were an English pop-punk supergroup composed of members from bands McFly (Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter, and Harry Judd) and Busted (James Bourne and Matt Willis). The only member of the original groups not participating in the new lineup was former Busted guitarist and vocalist Charlie Simpson, who instead opted to focus on his solo career and his rock band Fightstar.
Having previously appeared as special guests during McFly's tenth-anniversary concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, it was announced on 11 November 2013 that former Busted members Bourne and Willis would join McFly to form the six-piece supergroup "McBusted" and go on an arena tour in April and May 2014. The original eleven-concert McBusted Tour quickly sold out and was eventually extended to 34 shows, including headlining Hyde Park on 6 July 2014. On 16 June 2014, McBusted made their overseas debut, supporting One Direction on their Where We Are Tour in Denmark. They then continued to support One Direction the following night, and again in France on 21 June. They went on to also support One Direction in 2015 on the Australian and European leg of their On the Road Again Tour as special guests. In April 2014, it was revealed that McBusted would be releasing an album. On 7 October, they announced their debut single "Air Guitar", which debuted at number 12 on the UK Singles Chart. It was also announced that they had signed a record deal with Island Records. The band's self-titled debut album was released on 1 December and peaked at number nine.
On 10 November 2015, it was announced that Simpson had decided to rejoin Busted after 10 years away from the band, as a consequence Willis confirmed that McBusted had parted ways for the time being, but they "enjoyed every minute" of their time in the band. Fletcher had previously commented that although McBusted are no longer together, he will not rule out a reunion, stating it "definitely doesn't feel like the end".
History
2013: Background, formation and tour announcement
From 19 to 22 September 2013, McFly commemorated their tenth anniversary by performing four concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. During these shows Matt Willis and James Bourne made a surprise brief reunion as Busted when they joined as special guests. (Willis and Bourne's ex-bandmate Charlie Simpson, whose decision to quit Busted led to the band's break-up in January 2005, chose not to take part.) Under the name "McBusted", the six-piece performed Busted's "Year 3000" and "Air Hostess" and McFly's "Shine a Light". This sparked rumours that Busted could make a comeback.
On 11 November 2013, it was announced that Willis and Bourne would join Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd and go on an eleven-date arena tour as McBusted in 2014, and play both Busted and McFly songs. Simpson refused to be a part of McBusted as he wanted to focus on his own career, but he was paid a "six-figure sum" by Willis and Bourne after he sold his third of the copyrighted Busted name. A source told the Daily Mirror that Simpson's decision not to be part of McBusted was an amicable one: "Charlie wishes the boys lots of luck but he wanted absolutely no involvement. All three sat down amicably and worked out a figure that everyone was happy with. Charlie made it clear in no uncertain terms that that's it for him and the boys now, it's finished." Pre-sale tickets for the eleven shows went on sale at 9am on 14 November and sold out in minutes. Tickets went on general sale the following morning and quickly sold out as well, resulting in the addition of six more concerts in Glasgow, Bournemouth, London, Birmingham, Cardiff and Manchester. Another four dates were then added on 17 November, bringing the tour to 20 dates. Since then, the tour has increased to a total 34 dates throughout April–June 2014. It comprises dates in Glasgow, Liverpool, Bournemouth, London, Newcastle, Nottingham, Leeds, Birmingham, Sheffield, Cardiff, Manchester, Brighton, Dublin and Belfast. Regarding the tour, Judd said, "It's bigger than what Busted ever were and it's bigger than what McFly ever were". On 9 December, McBusted announced that they would be headlining British Summer Time Hyde Park Festival on 6 July 2014 with the Backstreet Boys, The Vamps, Scouting for Girls and dance troupe Diversity as special guests.
On 15 November, McBusted made their first official TV performance, appearing on Children in Need 2013 and playing a medley of four songs: "All About You", "Year 3000", "Air Hostess" and "Shine a Light". A McBusted version of McFly's song "Love Is on the Radio" was released on 24 November.
2014: McBusted Tour and McBusted
Throughout April–June 2014, McBusted went on their 34-date sold-out nationwide tour. Regarding the McBusted Tour, Judd said, "It's bigger than what Busted ever were and it's bigger than what McFly ever were". On 6 July 2014, McBusted announced that they would be headlining British Summer Time Hyde Park, with the Backstreet Boys, Five, Scouting for Girls and dance troupe Diversity as special guests. On 16 June, McBusted made their overseas debut, supporting One Direction on their Where We Are Tour in Denmark, following the cancellation of 5 Seconds of Summer. McBusted then continued as the support act the following night, and again in France on 21 June. On 10 September, it was announced that a McBusted concert film, Tourplay, would be released exclusively through Vue Cinemas on 28 October for one day.
During an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show on 22 February 2014, Willis said: "We always said that we weren't going to say we were going to bring out music, because we didn't want to say that we were going to make music and it be terrible. But we went away, we did some writing and it wasn't terrible." On 1 April, Judd revealed that McBusted would be making an album. On 8 October, the official lyric video to their debut single "Air Guitar", was released; the song was made available to pre-order on iTunes the same day. It peaked at number 14 on the UK Singles Chart. On 23 October, the band announced that their debut album McBusted would be released on 1 December. The album debuted and peaked at number 9 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified Gold for sales of over 100,000.
2015: McBusted's Most Excellent Adventure Tour, international gigs
On 4 November 2014, the band posted on their Twitter and Facebook pages: "It's possibly the worst kept secret in entertainment, but we are so stoked to announce the #McBusted2015Tour!!!" On 26 January 2015, on their website, they announced that the tour would be called McBusted's Most Excellent Adventure Tour. The tour lasted from 12 March to 22 April 2015, consisting of 21 shows. McBusted were also the support act for the Australian and European legs of One Direction's On the Road Again Tour in 2015. During the Australian dates, McBusted announced and performed two of their own gigs, one in Sydney and one in Melbourne. A music video was shot for their song "Get Over It" in 2014 with the intention of releasing it as a single the next year. However James Bourne confirmed on Twitter that the release was scrapped. A DVD and Blu-ray release of the 2015 tour, McBusted's Most Excellent Adventure Tour – Live at the O2, was released on 22 June 2015 and reached number one in the music video charts.
Charlie Simpson's return to Busted and McBusted's future
The band have nothing more planned, with the members saying they will sit down and discuss what is next. However, Fletcher has suggested that McBusted would end 2016 to allow for McFly to continue. He told Fabulous magazine that "McBusted was an opportunity to have fun without knowing where it would take us, but McFly is for life. McBusted has been amazing fun, but it's not where our passion is. McFly is more than a band, we live and breathe it. We want to make album number six."
On 10 November 2015, Charlie Simpson returned to the original Busted line up with Willis and Bourne. In their first interview with Hunger TV, Willis touched on the future of McBusted stating "We've done McBusted, it was awesome, we loved every second of it. Now it's time to be in this band." Although Fletcher commented that McBusted are done performing together at the minute, he also stated that it doesn't mean they won't perform together again and that "It's something that is always going to be there – it definitely doesn't feel like the end." On 26 April McFly announced their comeback tour, Anthology Tour, in which they will perform the entirety of their five studio albums in four cities over three nights.
Busted marked their 20th anniversary in 2023 with the album Greatest Hits 2.0, which features McFly on the track "Thunderbirds 2.0". This marks the first collaboration between the bands since McBusted.

In algebraic K-theory, a branch of mathematics, Bloch's formula, introduced by Spencer Bloch for , states that the Chow group of a smooth variety X over a field is isomorphic to the cohomology of X with coefficients in the K-theory of the structure sheaf ; that is,
where the right-hand side is the sheaf cohomology; is the sheaf associated to the presheaf , U Zariski open subsets of X. The general case is due to Quillen. For q = 1, one recovers . (see also Picard group.)
The formula for the mixed characteristic is still open.

Helicobacter salomonis
|
Helicobacter salomonis (H. salomonis) is a species within the Helicobacter genus of Gram-negative bacteria. Helicobacter pylori is by far the best known Helicobacter species primarily because humans infected with it may develop gastrointestinal tract diseases such as stomach inflammation, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, stomach cancers of the nonlymphoma type, and various subtypes of extranodal marginal zone lymphomass, e.g. those of the stomach, small intestines, large intestines, and rectumn. H. pylori is also associated with the development of bile duct cancer and has been associated with a wide range of other diseases, although its role in the development of many of these other diseases requires further study. Humans infected with H. salomonis may develop some of the same gastrointestinal diseases viz., stomach inflammation, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, stomach cancers that are not lymphomas, and extranodal marginal B cell lymphomas of the stomach. Other non-H. pylori Helicobacter species that are known to be associated with these gastrointestinal diseases are Helicobacter bizzozeronii, Helicobacter suis, Helicobacter felis, and Helicobacter heilmannii s.s. Because of their disease associations, these four Helicobacter species plus H. salomonis are often group together and termed Helicobacter heilmannii sensu lato.
Helicobacter salomonis bacteria are detected in the stomachs of their natural hosts - cats, dogs, and rabbits. Reports suggest that individuals, including children, are infected with this bacterium by having close contact one of these animals: H. heilmanni s.l.-associated diseases, including those associated with H. salomonis, appear to be zoonotic diseases, i.e., infectious diseases that are caused by pathogen that spread from animals to humans. It is important to diagnose H. salomonis and other Helicobacter heilmannii sensu lato infections in patients with the cited upper gastrointestinal tract diseases, including in particular extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of the stomach, because some of them have been successfully treated and cured using antibiotic-based drug regimens (e.g.amoxicillin, clarithromycin, plus a proton pump inhibitor or metronidazole, clarithromycin, plus a proton pump inhibitor) directed against the instigating bacterium.

June van de Klashorst
|
June Dorothy van de Klashorst () (born 1 June 1938) is an Australian politician. She was a Liberal Party member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly from 1993 to 2001, representing the electorate of Swan Hills. She was Minister for Family and Children's Services, Minister for Seniors and Minister for Women's Interests in the Court government from December 1999 to February 2001.
Early life
Van de Klashorst was born in England, and arrived in Australia with her family in June 1951. She attended Princess May High School and Fremantle Technical School, and worked in secretarial and management roles before becoming a teacher.
Career
Van de Klashorst joined the Liberal Party in 1985, and was a founding member of the Gidgegannup branch.
She was elected to the Legislative Assembly at the 1993 state election, winning the Swan Hills electorate from Labor after the retirement of Gavan Troy. She served on the House Committee (1993–1994), Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation (1994–1996) and Library Committee (1997–1998). She also served on the Select Committee on Intervention in Childbirth (1994–1995), Select Committee on Heavy Transport (1994–1996) and the Select Committee on Crime Prevention (1997–1999).
The pro-choice van de Klashorst played a significant role in the push to reform Western Australia's abortion laws in 1998 after two doctors were charged with criminal offences. She initially came out in support of Labor MLC Cheryl Davenport's bill to repeal the section of the Criminal Code that made abortion illegal, and planned to introduce the Davenport bill in the Legislative Assembly as a bipartisan effort. The Liberal-National coalition rejected van de Klashorst's position, instead deciding to move its own rival reform bill, to which van de Klashorst was reported to be "close to tears". In the subsequent debate, van de Klashorst successfully advocated an additional requirement that women be offered counselling when seeking an abortion. The reform push was ultimately successful, with a compromise passing both houses after the Legislative Council initially backed the Davenport bill and the Legislative Assembly the government bill.
Van de Klashorst was Parliamentary Secretary for the Minister for Justice from January 1997 to December 1999, when she was promoted into the ministry after the resignation of Rhonda Parker. She served as Minister for Family and Children's Services, Minister for Seniors and Minister for Women's Interests from 1999 until the 2001 state election, when she was unexpectedly defeated by 24-year-old Labor candidate Jaye Radisich.

Quest for Saddam

Quest for Saddam is a first-person shooter video game released by Petrilla Entertainment on May 14, 2003. With a gameplay style similar to Doom and a humorous approach to the plot, the goal is to fight Iraqi soldiers and eventually to kill Saddam Hussein. The game was later modded by the Global Islamic Media Front (an al-Qaeda propaganda organization) in Quest for Bush, which changed the game's premise to kill the game's boss, President George W. Bush.

Thermococcus profundus is a hyperthermophilic archaeon isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. It is coccoid-shaped with 1–2 μm in diameter, designated as strain DT5432.
One amylase isolated from T. profundus strain DT5432 was found to function at an optimal temperature of 80 °C. The scientists who extracted it speculate that it may have applications in the starch industry because of its heat tolerance and lack of any need for metal ions.

Streptomyces turgidiscabies
|
Streptomyces turgidiscabies is a streptomycete bacterium species, causing scab in potatoes. It has flexuous spore, the latter which are cylindrical and smooth. The type strain is SY9113T (= ATCC 700248T = IFO 16080T). It is almost identical to Streptomyces reticuliscabiei; however, they are considered distinct species given the diseases they cause are different.
