Samail Ophiolite
|
The Samail Ophiolite (also spelled Semail Ophiolite) of the Hajar Mountains of Oman and the United Arab Emirates is a large slab of oceanic crust, made of volcanic rocks and ultramafic rocks from the Earth's upper mantle, that was overthrust onto continental crust as an ophiolite. It is located on the eastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula and covers an area of approximately 100,000 km2. Based on uranium-lead dating techniques, the Samail Ophiolite formed in the Late Cretaceous. It is primarily made of silicate rocks with (SiO2) content ranging from 45–77 wt%. The Samail Ophiolite is important because it is rich in copper and chromite ore bodies, and because it also provides valuable information about the ocean floor and the upper mantle on land. Geologists have studied the area, attempting to find the best model explaining the formation of the Samail Ophiolite.
Geologic formations
The Arabian continental margin formed in the early Paleozoic and possibly the late Proterozoic. After that the thrust sheets are from low to high structurally: the autochthonous units, and the allochthonous units. The allochthonous units, from low to high structurally, are the Sumeini group, the Hawasina complex, the Haybi complex, the Ophiolite, and the Batinah complex. From the Sumeini group to the Haybi Complex make up the continental slope with an age range from Middle Triassic to Late Cretaceous. The ophiolite formed in the Late Cretaceous and consists of a basal metamorphic sole (150–200 m), peridotite tectonic (8–12 km), igneous peridotite and gabbro (0.5–6.5 km), sheeted dikes (1–1.5 km), and lavas (0.5–2.0 km). The Batinah complex containing continental margin sediments came from beneath the ophiolite during late-stage extensional faulting and then slid into the ophiolite late in the emplacement history.
Tectonic models
There are three different models that may explain how the Samail Ophiolite could form and overthrust a continental margin:
The gravity sliding model: A 7 to 20 km thick ophiolitic terrane could slide onto a continental margin. This requires an elevated source region, which presents difficulties.
The suprasubduction model: The obduction of an arc-trench gap ophiolite due to the collision of a volcanic arc and a passive continental margin (Fig. 2). Figure 2-A, older than 101 to 95 Ma the mid-ocean ridge is spreading and the ocean lithosphere subducted under the continental lithosphere on the right while the other side is overriding the oceanic lithosphere on the left. Also, that is where the proto Semail Ophiolite and volcanism starts to form a volcanic arc. Figure 2-B, from 95 to 87 Ma the mid-ocean ridge is spreading and a volcanic arc has formed. Figure 2-C, from 87 to 76 Ma the mid-ocean ridge is spreading and the ocean lithosphere being pushed and over thrust the continental lithosphere by the help of the volcanic arc.
The obducting model: The oceanic lithosphere over thrust continental lithosphere (Fig. 3). Figure 3-A, older than 101 to 95 Ma the mid-ocean ridge is spreading and the oceanic lithosphere subducted under both continental lithosphere. The Samail Ophiolite initial place is marked on the right oceanic lithosphere. Figure 3-B, from 95 to 87 Ma the mid-ocean ridge stopped spreading and the intra-oceanic thrusting started. Where the left oceanic lithosphere subducted under the right oceanic lithosphere with the Samail Ophiolite, which are accreted at amphibolite facies conditions at the base of the Samail Ophiolite. Figure 3-C, from 87 to 76 Ma the Samail Ophiolite overthrusts the continental lithosphere and is emplaced onto the craton, which are accreted at greenschist-facies conditions at the base of the Samail Ophiolite. This model is more supported by geologists.

Sennowe Hall
|
Sennowe Hall (also known as Sennowe Park) is a large country house and estate located near the village of Guist in Norfolk, England.
The clock tower, the house and the stables, all located in a landscaped park, are Grade II* listed buildings.
Sennowe Hall was originally a Georgian house built in 1774 by Thomas Wodehouse who had inherited the estate from his aunt Mary Bacon in 1760. It was sold by his son Edmond Wodehouse MP in 1850 and was subsequently owned by the Morse-Boycott family, who had it re-built by Decimus Burton. It then passed into ownership of the lighting engineer Bernard Le Neve Foster.
The estate was bought in 1898 by Thomas Albert Cook, a grandson of Thomas Cook, the founder of the Thomas Cook and Son travel agency. He commissioned the Norwich architect George Skipper to remodel and considerably enlarge the house. The house and its surrounding estate are still owned by his descendants.
The hall was the main filming location for The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor, an episode of the television series Agatha Christie's Poirot.

Anastasia Rybachenko
|
Anastasia Rybachenko () (born 11 September 1991) is a former Russian political and civic activist. She worked as a member of the Political Council, the head of the Youth Committee and a spokesperson with the Moscow branch of the "Solidarnost" movement from 2008 to 2012.
Education
Rybachenko studied political science at the State Academic University for the Humanities in Moscow. In 2012, she transferred to Tallinn University of Technology and graduated with a major in international relations in 2014. She earned her master's degree from Freie Universität Berlin in 2016.
Political career
Rybachenko was active in Russian politics from 2008 to 2012, during the period when more liberal Dmitriy Medvedev served as president of Russia. She left Russia after Vladimir Putin took over as president in May 2012.
2008—2012
In December 2008, Rybachenko joined Solidarnost, a newly founded democratic movement.
In 2009, Rybachenko supported Sergei Davidis, member of the Political Council of Solidarnost, during his run for the 2009 Moscow City Duma election. She worked as a member of his political campaign staff.
In 2010, Rybachenko was elected to the Political Council of Solidarnost's Moscow branch, and became its youngest member aged 18 years old. In 2011, she was re-elected.
Since 2010, Rybachenko represented Solidarnost at the Coordination Committee of the Strategy-31 campaign. The campaign members, among them Solidarnost, the Moscow Helsinki Group, the Memorial human rights centre and the Other Russia party, organized a series of civic protests in support of the right to peaceful assembly guaranteed by Article 31 of the Russian Constitution.
In December 2010, Rybachenko traveled to Minsk to observe the 2010 Belarusian presidential election. After the demonstrations of protest that followed the election, Rybachenko initiated a campaign in Moscow to support the Russian citizens arrested in Belarus. Activists of Solidarnost collected signatures, maintained media campaign and negotiated with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The campaigners persuaded the Russian authorities to engage more actively in the cases of two Russian citizens Ivan Gaponov and Artyom Breus, and later on in the case of Belarusian citizen Fedor Mirzayanov, in order to, as activists maintained, represent interests of his father, a citizen of Russia. Gaponov and Breus were released. In the case of Mirzayanov, activists achieved representatives of the Russian embassy in Minsk to observe the trial, but Mirzayanov was nevertheless sentenced to three years in prison.
In March 2011, Rybachenko became the head of the Youth Committee of Solidarnost's Moscow branch. She organized lectures of politicians and other public figures at Moscow universities (Yulia Latynina, Vladimir Ryzhkov, Valery Panyushkin, Mikhail Delyagin, Alexei Navalny and lawyers of Mikhail Khodorkovsky).
In March 2012, Rybachenko became the head of the press office of Solidarnost's Moscow branch. She recruited and trained volunteers for the press office, managed relations with the media representatives, in particular for the campaign of Solidarnost to support Yevgeny Urlashov in the mayoral election in the large Russian city of Yaroslavl.
In 2012, Rybachenko participated in the major Russian protests, including the 6 May 2012 demonstration in the Bolotnaya Square in Moscow. The Bolotnaya square protests disputed the results of the 2012 presidential election, where Vladimir Putin was elected to take over from more liberal president Dmitry Medvedev. Despite protests, Putin was confirmed as president and the government began a crack down on the civil society. In July 2012, Rybachenko left Russia to study abroad.
Emigration
In September 2012, Rybachenko moved to Estonia. She enrolled at Tallinn University of Technology, where she consequently earned her Bachelor's degree in International Relations. From 2014, Rybachenko studied in Germany at Freie Universität Berlin and earned her Master's degree in 2016.

The 66th Big Game was scheduled for November 23, but after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, like nearly all sporting events, the game was canceled and rescheduled for the following week. Stanford was winless in the conference coming into the game, and following a California punt return for a touchdown, were behind their rival 17–9 late in the second half. But the Indians fought back, scoring the last 19 points in the game on two touchdowns and two field goals to win the game.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex is a 2-in-1-laptop line by Lenovo. Unlike the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga line of devices, the keyboard does not bend back entirely to allow use as a tablet, it is only a dual-mode laptop. Its keyboard rotates behind the display in order to put the device into "stand mode." Stand mode brings the user closer to the screen for watching videos and using touch-enabled apps and removes the visual distraction from the keyboard.

IdeaPad Flex 10
The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 10 is dual-mode laptop with a 10-inch screen. It gets its name from its lid that can fold back flat and then around 300 degrees.
The 2014's Flex 10's has display features multitouch capability and has a resolution of 1366×768. Buyers can select configurations with the quad-core (Pentium N3510, or Celeron N2910), or the dual-core (Celeron N2810, or Celeron N2805) Intel CPUs. The Pentium configuration can hold up to 4 gigabytes of RAM and the Celeron configurations can hold 2 gigabytes. The Flex 10 shares the same basic ports and design as the Flex 15 and the IdeaPad A10.
According to a review from NDTV Gadgets, "It's clear that Lenovo allocated most of this device's cost to its more visible features. In terms of functionality, it is best thought of as a modern-day netbook: good enough for surfing the Web, creating basic documents and watching movies now and then, but not suitable for any serious work."
IdeaPad Flex 14
2014's model
Design and performance - Like other Lenovo devices such as the Yoga, the Flex has a matte, smooth lid that tapers slightly at the sides with a Lenovo logo in the upper left corner. Some models have orange accents, a feature often found in Lenovo's designs. Rubber bumpers prevent the screen from being rotated beyond 300 degrees and prevent the keyboard from contacting the table.
It has a display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and ten-point multitouch capability. Models with Intel Core i5 and i7 processors are available. 8 gigabytes of RAM comes standard and up to 16 gigabytes. Storage is available from 256 gigabytes PCIe SSD. An Nvidia GeForce MX130 video card (Nvidia Geforce GT 820 M in the 2014 version)with 2 gigabytes of video RAM is an option. A 0.9 megapixel webcam is included. 802.11 ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 standards are all supported. It comes with a Qualcomm Atheros Internet Card. Ports include HDMI, two USB 3.0 and one USB-C.

The model with an 8th-gen Intel Core i5-8250U CPU and 8GB of RAM achieved a score of 12,130 points on Geekbench 4.
The Flex 14 runs Windows 10. It includes a Dolby Atmos app, Microsoft Office, McAffe 30 days trial, Lenovo Vantage and such other apps from the Microsoft Store.
Reviews - In a review for Laptop Mag, Shaun Lucas wrote, "The Botton Line: With its speedy performance, strong sound and solid design, the $809 Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 6 is an attractive and affordable 2-in-1. The discrete graphics is another plus, as you can play some mainstream games on this 14-inch convertible (albeit at lower settings). The Flex 6 would be a lot more useful on the go, though, with a brighter screen to fight glare and more battery life."
Overall, this laptop gives an excellent value for money, especially with discrete graphics. Cooling is also great in this laptop as the fan can be distinctly heard when the laptop is put under load. The 1366 by 768 display is alright for watching movies or reading text but not good especially for gaming. The screen brightness is around 300 nitts.
Pros and cons stated in a review in PC MAG:
Pros:
Innovative hinge design.
Eight hours battery life.
10-point touch screen.
Comfortable keyboard
Cons:
Screen does not flip all the way around.
1366 by 768 resolution is low

Julia López (painter)
|
Julia López is a Mexican painter whose works depict her childhood home in the Costa Chica region of Guerrero state. She was born in a small farming village but left early for Acapulco and Mexico City to find a better life. In the capital, she was hired as a model for artists at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado "La Esmeralda" and as such became part of the circle of notable artists of that time. Their influenced encouraged her to draw and paint, with Carlos Orozco Romero discouraging her from formal instruction as to not destroy her style. She began exhibiting in 1958 and since then has exhibited individually and collectively in Mexico, the United States and Europe. Her work has been recognized with awards and membership in the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana.
Life
López was born in 1936 in a small village near the town of Ometepec on the Costa Chica of Guerrero. She was one of eight daughters born to African and Amuzgo heritage parents. The parents were farmers, raising cotton, chili peppers, tobacco, sesame seed, bananas and other crops.
She has stated that she was blessed to have the childhood that she did, which would not have been possible in a big city. However, she wanted more in life and began her journey by going to Ometepec to work in a hotel called Casa Verde when she was only thirteen years old. In 1951, she moved, this time to Acapulco, where she worked in a hotel kitchen. During this time she did not attend school but rather taught herself to read and do basic math.
Her final move was to Mexico City, finding initial employment modeling bridal and other formal dresses. This job allowed her to meet a number of people, especially from Coyoacán including a muralist that introduced her to Frida Kahlo in 1952. She gave her a card to present herself to Antonio M. Ruíz, then director of La Esmeralda. Her professionalism in her work allowed her to model for most of the well-known artists of the mid-20th century such as José Chávez Morado, Vlady and even Diego Rivera at La Esmeralda and at the Academy of San Carlos.
While doing this, she listened carefully to teachers’ comments to students and integrated herself with this artistic community. She initially remained very poor, along with her artist friends, which included Alberto Gironella, Héctor Javier, Lauro López, Vlady and José Luis Cuevas, sharing accommodations, food and work. She began sketching on old bread wrappers, images of saints, horses, seahorses and other familiar elements. She showed her work to Carlos Orozco Romero, who encouraged her novel style and critiquing her work. She suggested and exchange where she would pose and he would teach her to paint. However, Orozco Romero convinced her that the classes would take away her spontaneity.
As she developed her artistic career, she had three daughters of her own. She also had a nine-year relationship with painter Rafael Coronel, which whom she raised his son Juan along with her own children. The couple separated but remained on good terms.
She currently lives and works in Mexico City.
Art career
López developed her art career while continuing to pose in order to earn money for materials. She began exhibiting in 1958 and since then her work has been shown in various parts of Mexico, the United States and in Europe. Major exhibitions include the Galería de Artes Visuales (1958, sponsored by Orozco Romero, with favorable reviews), the Galería Los Petules in Xalapa (1959), the Galería Prisse (supported by various artists such as Enrique Echeverría, Alberto Gironella and Héctor Xavier), the Galería Mexicana de Arte in Mexico City (1961, 1962), the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana (1963, 1967, 1969, 1972), Dallas Museum of Fine Arts, the Mexican Museum in San Francisco, the Fine Art Gallery of California, the Centro Cultural México-Italia Andriano Olivetti (1980), the Palace of Iturbide (1981), the Galería Misrachi (1985), the Museo de Arte e Historia in Ciudad Juárez (1985), Museo de Arte Moderno (1988), the Palacio de Minería (1988), Officina d’Arte Accademia in Verona, Italy (1996) and the Instituto Camões in Lisbon (2013). She regularly exhibits with the Galería Telento in Mexico City and at the Galería La siempre Habana in Cuernavaca.
Her work can be found in the collections of over forty museums and galleries, but most of her work is in private collections in Mexico and abroad.
Her work was first recognized with a first place prize at a competition held at the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana. Later she received the New Vales Prize from the Fine Art Gallery of California. She is a member of the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana.
Three books have been written about her life and work Los colores mágicos de Julia López (1995), Fiori e Canti, Nella Pittura di Julia López (1996, in Italian) and Dueña de la luz (1998).
Artistry
López’s experience at La Esmeralda influenced her themes but the development of her artistic style was self-taught. She is of the age of the Generación de la Ruptura but her work is considered part of the Mexican muralism movement.
Most of her work relates to her experiences growing up, with dark-skinned figures, almost always female, in flowery clothes in tropical settings. Her work has been described as having an indigenous quality as well as exalting the simple pleasures of life. Rafael Coronel stated that “her works are not premeditated, they are born. They deny symbols, but translate legends.” He also stated that while Kahlo painted tragedy, López paints paradise.

Festuca brevipila
|
Festuca brevipila, the hard fescue, is a species of grass which can be found everywhere in Canada and in both Eastern and Central United States (except for Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and South Dakota).
The species derives its common name by virtue of being the "hardiest" of the fescue family. It does well in poor soils and is "very drought tolerant" preferring deep and infrequent watering.
This grass is used for residential and sports turf, and erosion control.

Sultan bin Murshid
|
Sultan bin Murshid () (died 1743) was one of the rival Imams during the civil wars in Oman in the final years of the Yaruba dynasty. He was elected Imam in 1742 in place of Saif bin Sultan II. His predecessor called on the Persians for assistance. In mid-1743 Sultan bin Murshid died while defending the town of Sohar against the Persian force.
Accession
Sultan bin Murshid bin Jadi belonged to a distant branch of the ruling Yaruba dynasty, but is also said to have been the grandson of the great Imam of Oman, Saif bin Sultan.
His cousin, the Imam Saif bin Sultan II, led a self-indulgent life that turned the tribes against him.
In February 1742 Sultan bin Murshid was proclaimed Imam in his place.
Sultan bin Murshid was installed at Nakhal. He gathered troops and marched on Rustaq. Saif bin Sultan II also raised troops and counter-marched, but was too late to prevent the fall of Rustaq. He retreated to the town of Muscat and took a defensive stance. Sultan bin Murshid followed him to Muscat but was unable to take the town. Instead he occupied the nearby port of Muttrah, attracting merchants to this port and thus depriving Saif bin Sultan II of revenue.
Struggle with the Persians
Saif bin Sultan II appealed to the Persians for help and promised to cede Sohar to them in exchange.
Fresh from a victorious campaign in India, the Persian ruler Nader Shah dispatched an expedition of 6,000 men under Mirza Mohammed Taki Khan, which arrived at Julfar around October 1742. Saif bin Sultan II went by sea to Khor Fakkan and then traveled overland to meet the Persians.
The officers of the ships at Khor Fakkan went over to Sultan bin Murshid, taking their ships to him at Muttrah.
The Persians besieged Sohar and sent forces to Muscat, but were unable to take either place.
In January 1743 they received reinforcements.
They sent another force to attempt to take Muscat. Sultan bin Murshid, who was still based at Muttrah, deliberately abandoned Muscat, and the Persians entered the town.
While they were engaged in plunder, Sultan bin Murshid attacked with the combined garrisons of Muttrah and Muscat, destroyed the Persian force and captured several ships.
Death
The Persians sent a fresh force by land, and succeeded in taking Muttrah.
Sultan bin Murshid escaped to Sohar, where he was mortally wounded under the walls of the town in mid-1743.
Some say that he killed himself.
Bal'arab bin Himyar was elected Imam in his place.
The Persians took Muscat and again attacked Sohar to the north.
After enduring nine months of siege, the governor Ahmad bin Said al-Busaidi negotiated an honorable surrender.
Later he would drive the Persians from the country and establish a new dynasty of rulers of Oman.

Alan Dowson
|
Alan Dowson (born 17 June 1970) is an English football manager and former professional player who manages Dartford.
He made 55 appearances in the Football League between 1988 and 1993, before spending 13 years as a player in non-league football. He later managed a number of non-league football teams.
Playing career
Dowson began his playing career with Millwall, progressing through the youth ranks before signing a professional contract with the first time in May 1988. Making a single appearance for the Lions, he also played for Fulham on a one-month loan in January 1990.
After his release from Millwall, Dowson was quickly snapped up by Bradford City, where he made 18 appearances in a single season. A year with Darlington saw the defender become a regular in the first team before dropping into non-league football.
Joining Slough Town ahead of the 1993–94 season, Dowson featured 43 times throughout the campaign joining Gateshead, he then spent two years with Gateshead before over a decade at Walton & Hersham. On 20 December 1996, Dowson signed for the Surrey club - who had recently been relegated to the Isthmian League Division One.
Dowson announced his retirement from playing at the end of the 2005–06 season.
Managing career
After eight years with Walton & Hersham in a playing capacity, the club announced Dowson was to feature as player-manager in October 2004. Finishing as runners-up in his debut managerial campaign, Dowson also guided the club to the fourth round of the FA Trophy while recording a record-breaking 13-match winning run in all competitions.
Dowson announced his resignation from the Swans in January 2007, shortly before joining Kingstonian. In his second full season as manager, he saw his side crowned champions of the Isthmian Division One South and promoted to the Premier Division. The K's finished fifth upon their return to the seventh tier in the 2009–10 season, but missed out on back-to-back promotions, losing in the play-off final to Boreham Wood.
In his final season as manager of Kingstonian, Dowson recorded his best league finish of second - following two seasons in a mid-table position. However, they failed to gain promotion once again after defeat in the play-offs semi-final. He announced his resignation at the end of the season to spend some time away from football and focus on his family.
On 14 September 2014, Dowson was unveiled as manager at Hampton & Richmond Borough. Joined by his familiar backroom staff, including Premier League commentator Martin Tyler, Dowson guided the Isthmian Premier Division side to a 12th-placed finish in his inaugural season. After a lacklustre 2014-15 campaign saw the Beavers finish 15th, Dowson led Hampton to become champions during the 2015–16 season, losing just seven league fixtures while scoring 105 goals.
He was appointed Woking manager in May 2018. In his first season in charge Dowson took Woking to a 2nd-placed finish, gaining promotion to the National League with a 1–0 win against Welling United in the playoff-final. The club also enjoyed its most successful FA Cup run in almost two decades, defeating Swindon Town to earn a famous home tie with Premier League club Watford in the Third Round of the FA Cup. Woking, the only Level 6 side left in the competition, lost the match 2–0. On 28 February 2022, Dowson was sacked by the club following a "prolonged run of poor form in the league", ending his four-year association with the Surrey-based side.
In May 2022 he became manager of Dartford. Dowson oversaw an impressive start to the season that saw him awarded the National League South Manager of the Month award for October 2022.

Deer cutaneous fibroma
|
Cutaneous fibromas (also known as deer warts) are common neoplasms occurring in wild and domestic deer of many species and are caused by host-specific viral infections. The fibromas occur most frequently in animals under 2 years of age, with cases in older deer reported occasionally or rarely.
Deer fibromas appear on the skin as hard and round tumors that can be up to 1 cm in diameter. The tumors are blackish or brown and have a rough-textured surface. They do not cause the animal harm unless clumps of fibromas interfere with breathing, eating, or walking.
Fibromas have been reported in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), fallow deer (Cervus dama), red deer (Cervus elaphus), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), Sika deer (Cervus nippon), moose (Alces alces), and caribou (Rangifer caribou)." They occur across the entirety of the white-tail deer's range.
Clinical signs and symptoms
The only visible signs of cutaneous fibroma in white-tailed deer are fleshy wart-like growths on the skin. These growths can vary from single to clusters of warts. These warts can also vary in size from small to very large. They are only attached to the skin, not to the underlying muscle and bone, so their only physical effects on the deer stem from their ability to impair the deer's sight and range of motion if they are large enough to inhibit normal behavior. Deer with these growths can still be in perfect health and usually show no symptoms of ill health.
Transmission
The fibromas are most often caused by host-specific papillomaviruses. They may also be due to host-specific poxviruses.
The transmission of cutaneous fibromas in the white-tailed deer is caused by a virus that is thought to be transmitted through a variety of insect bites or by a deer coming in contact with any contaminated object that scratches or penetrates the skin of the deer or contaminates wounded/damaged skin. Deer tend to frequent particular trails during their movements, and may thus potentially become infected by contact with objects on the path previously contaminated by other deer. As fibromas occur more commonly in bucks, the virus is probably often transmitted during sparring.
This disease appears temporary, manifesting after about 7 weeks after inoculation and lasting only about two months. Cutaneous fibromas are not transmissible to other livestock or to humans if their meat is consumed.
Occurrence
Fibromas occur most frequently in animals under 2 years of age. The tumor has been diagnosed in 2.1% of males and 0.4% of females. More bucks are shot (either by law or hunter preference), which influences the sampling.
Treatment and control
Treatment is not a feasible option for most wild populations. The disease has not been a problem in captive herds. The growths could be removed surgically if they became important, but that would rarely be an issue. Because exposure to the virus leads to immunity, it should be possible to develop a vaccine if prevention becomes necessary. To date, this disease has been too rare to justify such actions.
Prognosis
Large, ulcerated fibromas are infrequent. In most deer, the fibromas develop to only a few millimeters in diameter. Tumors then regress; this has been observed both in naturally occurring and experimentally induced cases. Only in an occasional deer do they develop into conspicuous skin tumors. Results of a New York survey indicated that wild deer are exposed and develop an immunity to the fibroma virus early in life.
Significance
Fibromatosis is not an important cause of deer mortality. The disease is not known to infect humans. Although they do not harm the meat, fibromas are repulsive to most people, so they discourage them from consuming the deer.
Some domesticated animals (cattle, dogs, etc.) are subject to "warts" common to their species. Fibromatosis of deer is quite unlikely to be infectious to domestic animals.

Is It Love (Twenty 4 Seven song)
|
"Is It Love" is a song by Dutch Eurodance group Twenty 4 Seven, released in November 1993, as the fourth single from their second studio album, Slave To The Music (1993). It was the first up-tempo song written by Ruud van Rijen and scored success on the charts in Europe, peaking at number five in Germany. The chorus is sung by Nancy Coolen while the rap parts are performed by Stay-C. Maria Jimenez from Music & Media described "Is It Love" as a "sugar-coated highly commercial track".
Chart performance
"Is It Love" was a major hit on the charts across several continents and remains one of the group's most successful songs. In Europe, it entered the top 10 in Austria (9), Denmark (6), Germany (5), the Netherlands (6), Portugal (4) and Sweden (7). On the Eurochart Hot 100, it reached number eleven, while peaking at number thirteen on the European Dance Radio Chart chart. The song was a top 20 hit also in Belgium (11) and Iceland (11). It didn't chart on the UK Singles Chart. Outside Europe, "Is It Love" charted at number eight in Zimbabwe, and number 20 in both Australia and New Zealand. It earned a gold record in Germany, with a sale of 250,000 singles.
Music video
The partially black-and-white music video for "Is It Love" was released in December 1993 by Garcia Media Production. It was videoed by Fernando Garcia and Steve Walker, and filmed in Belgium and the Netherlands.

Edmund Bailey Funston
|
Edmund Bailey Funston (May 19, 1868 – May 10, 1933) was an American architect in Racine, Wisconsin. He is credited with designing the Badger Building (1916). He was the founder of Edmund B. Funston Company Architects. Funston was born in Champaign County, Illinois on May 19, 1868, to John H. Funston and Elizabeth E. (Bailey) Funston.
Funston graduated in 1892 with a Bachelor of Science architecture degree from the University of Illinois. He taught in a manual training school in Colorado for two years before working in New Orleans and Atlanta. He worked as superintendent of construction at Jos. C. Llewellyn of Chicago for five years, including work on the construction of five buildings at the University of Illinois. He also superintended the rebuilding of the Advance Threshing Machine Company's building in Battle Creek, Michigan.
Funston came to Racine and was associated with A. Arthur Guilbert as a partner from 1905 until 1915. The firm of Guilbert & Funston, Architects designed the Welsh Presbyterian church (Racine, Wisconsin), the First Methodist Church (Racine, Wisconsin), Grange Avenue Methodist Church, the First National Bank building, the Commercial & Savings Bank building, N. D. Fratt School, Elks club house (Racine, Wisconsin), Racine Country Club building, Fire engine houses Nos. 1 and 2, and an office building for the Mitchell-Lewis Motor Company.
After Guilbert & Funston dissolved in 1915, Funston organized the firm of Edmund B. Funston Company. P. T. Beicher was his assistant. In 1915-16 he oversaw the design and construction of the 4-story Badger office building. He also designed the manufacturing plant for the Hamilton Beach Manufacturing Company, remodeled the Masonic temple, and designed an office building for David B. James S. Company.
He founded the Funston Long Distance Telephone Company and constructed a telephone toll line from St. Joseph, Missouri east through Wisconsin. They acquired the control of the Missouri River Telephone Company and the Dakota Telephone & Electric Company, and Funston became president of all three.
Funston married Miss Ella M. Kephart of Ravenswood, Chicago, on August 23, 1905. Their daughter Jeanette was born November 27, 1915. Funston died at his residence in Coral Gables, Florida, on May 10, 1933.

Everett Stern
|
Everett Alexander Stern (born ) is an American businessman, whistleblower, and political candidate who is the intelligence director of Tactical Rabbit, Inc. He exposed an HSBC money laundering scandal, where he uncovered illegal money laundering transactions. Having formerly attempted to run for office as a member of the Republican Party, he ran as an independent write-in candidate in the 2022 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania, but dropped out in late October.
Early life and education
Stern was born in New York City to a Jewish family. His father was a radiologist who worked for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, and his mother was a social worker. Raised in Wellington, Florida, he graduated from Wellington High School in 2002. He earned a Bachelor of the Arts degree from Florida Atlantic University in 2008. Stern sought a position with the Directorate of Operations, but was turned down shortly before graduating. He earned a Masters in Business Administration degree from Stetson University in May 2010.
Business career
HSBC money laundering scandal
In October 2010 Stern took a position as an anti-money laundering (AML) compliance officer for HSBC in their New Castle, Delaware office where he monitored the bank's Middle Eastern transactions. Stern identified many suspicious transactions tied to terrorist groups in the Middle East, such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Specifically, he uncovered a multinational money-laundering network that generated millions of dollars for Hezbollah through the Lebanese brothers Ali, Husayn, and Kassim Tajideen through their Gambia-based company, Tajco Ltd. Stern sent numerous alerts and was repeatedly ignored by his HSBC supervisor. After several such episodes, Stern made contact with the FBI and CIA, which began to investigate HSBC. Self-directed, Stern continued to collect and pass information to the CIA regarding HSBC's blatant abuse and manipulation of wire filters to approve illegal wire transfers. He left HSBC in October 2011. By the summer of 2012, the inquiry had broadened to the bank's money laundering operations in the Middle East, Mexico, Iran, Sudan, and North Korea.
In February 2013, Stern was first featured as an HSBC whistleblower in Rolling Stone magazine in the article Gangster Bankers: Too Big to Jail.
In February 2018, Stern was featured as an HSBC whistleblower in the Netflix series Dirty Money.
Aftermath
Stern reached a resignation agreement from his position with HSBC in October 2011. After being "blacklisted" from the financial community Stern began working at a P.F. Chang's restaurant as a server. Stern self-funded and launched the private intelligence agency Tactical Rabbit the following year. In March 2013, Stern and the law firm Berger & Montague submitted evidence collected by Stern to the SEC that HSBC had continued to violate anti-money laundering regulations through October 2011, when Stern's employment with HSBC ended. In August 2013, Stern joined with an Occupy Wall Street working group called Alternative Banking to further publicize his allegations against HSBC. At a protest held on August 29, 2013, in New York City, Stern publicly alleged that HSBC had committed anti-laundering violations through the end of his employment in 2011, and asked that the government re-open the case against HSBC.
In December 2013, HSBC reached a settlement with the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control regarding funds that had been transferred to financiers of the terrorist organization Hezbollah between December 2010 and April 2011. HSBC was required to pay $32,400. The Treasury department stated that this settlement was "unrelated to the bank's December 2012 agreement." Stern has continued to speak publicly through the media about his HSBC allegations, especially as they relate to the funding of terrorist groups and activities
Tactical Rabbit
Stern founded Tactical Rabbit with the intention of "exposing wrongdoing" in financial and corporate institutions.
In May 2015, Stern conducted an investigation into the closing of Sweet Briar College. Stern held a press conference on May 9, 2015, at the college and alleged that the company's intelligence operation revealed fraud. Stern pleaded for the American public and the FBI to get involved. Stern noted that "Saving Sweet Briar is not a Virginia problem, but it is a national problem requiring all Americans to act." In May 2015 Stern issued a public letter to FBI Director James Comey asking for an FBI investigation into his company's findings on the closing of the college.
In February 2018, Stern sent a notice to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office regarding one of its deputies allegedly posting racist and offensive content on social media accounts dating back to 2013 recommending that deputy be fired. Subsequently, the Sheriff's Department completed their investigation and the deputy was fired, according to a sheriff's spokesperson.
In 2018, Stern received a tip that the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) had paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars in incorrect Medicaid reimbursements over a six-year period because a claims payment system had been disabled. After obtaining internal MDHHS emails through the Freedom of Information Act, Stern discovered that a health agency employee had intentionally turned off the computer program designed to monitor home health care services. The emails show that the agency changed the computer program to "ease the burden on claims processing staff".
Political career
In the fall of 2013, Stern worked with Representative Maxine Waters on the Holding Individuals Accountable and Deterring Money Laundering Act, which sought to give the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network the authority to litigate on its own, and to stiffen penalties and prison sentences for bank executives involved in money laundering.
In February 2014, Stern announced he was running as a Republican for Pennsylvania's 13th congressional district in the 2014 elections. He withdrew from the race before the April 2014 filing deadline.
In April 2015, Stern announced his candidacy for United States Senate as a Republican candidate from Pennsylvania, challenging incumbent Pat Toomey for the Republican primary in the 2016 election. He again withdrew from the race before the filing deadline.
2022 U.S. Senate campaign
Stern was an early candidate for the Republican nomination in the 2022 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania. He touted himself as a supporter of less federal regulation of business and industry, a backer of the right to bear arms, and a law-and-order candidate who would "fight any effort to scale back or weaken law enforcement in Pennsylvania's communities." He later withdrew from the Republican primary to run as an independent write-in candidate.
On October 25, Stern withdrew from the race due to low polling numbers. He endorsed Democrat John Fetterman over the Republican nominee, Mehmet Oz, citing Oz's backing by former President Donald Trump as a reason not to vote for him.
Criticism of Michael Flynn
According to Stern, two men by the direction of former U.S. National Security Advisor Michael Flynn asked him in April 2021 to use Tactical Rabbit's resources to find information on Republican officials from Pennsylvania. That information would then be used to convince them to support an audit of the 2020 United States presidential election. Stern referred to the plot as "extortion". He alerted the FBI to the two men's plans and also testified before the House Select Committee Investigating the January 6 Capitol Attack.
At a February 2022 Republican primary debate, Stern criticized those in the Republican Party who supported "right-wing extremism" and lies about the 2020 presidential election. During the debate, Stern interrupted fellow candidate Kathy Barnette, denouncing her for being supported by Flynn, a "traitor". Stern also told Barnette to apologize for transporting supporters to the Capitol Attack.
In May 2022, Flynn sued Stern for his allegations of Flynn being a "traitor" and "helm[ing] a domestic terrorist organization engaged in sedition", according to WUFT.
Personal life
On December 15, 2022, Stern pleaded guilty to four counts of disorderly conduct relating to an incident on March 30, 2022, where police said that he impersonated a federal officer. Stern received a one-year probationary sentence, and agreed to complete 50 hours of community service, undergo a mental health evaluation, and possible subsequent treatment.

The Normansfield Theatre is a Victorian era building in Teddington, England.
The theatre is on the site of Normansfield Hospital, which was a self-sufficient Victorian hospital complex run by Dr. John Langdon Down. The hospital was where he conducted the pioneering research into the syndrome now known as Down Syndrome. The theatre was constructed in 1877 and completed in 1879 for the use of the patients.
The theatre is held in care by the Langdon Down Centre Trust. It hosts productions by many different groups, including West London amateur opera company Richmond Opera (formerly Isleworth Baroque).
Work on restoring the previously derelict Grade II* listed building began in 2010. It has now been converted for residential use and the former hospital workshops have been re-developed as social housing. The building has been removed from English Heritage's At Risk register.
It is a popular filming location. It appeared in the Agatha Christie's Poirot episodes "The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor," "The Case of the Missing Will," "Double Sin," and "After the Funeral." It was also used in Dorian Gray (2009), the ITV series Downton Abbey, and the Netflix series Bridgerton

Marilyn Knowlden
|
Marilyn Knowlden (born May 12, 1926) is an American former child actress. She started appearing in Hollywood films in 1931 when she was four years old. She established herself as a freelancer who worked frequently at different major film studios throughout the decade, being cast in films such as Imitation of Life, Les Misérables, and Angels with Dirty Faces. She worked with film stars such as Katharine Hepburn, James Cagney, and Claudette Colbert. In total, six of the films in which she appeared were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, all within the span of seven years.
She retired from film acting when she became an adult, but was active in local theatre productions as a playwright and composer. She is considered to be one of the last surviving actors from the 1930s period of Hollywood's Golden Years.
Early life
Marilyn Knowlden was born on May 12, 1926, in Oakland, California. Her parents were Robert E. Knowlden Jr. (1896–1972), a Utah-born attorney (and later her agent), and Bertha McKenzie. They married on December 23, 1921. She was an only child. When she was nearly three years old, in early 1929, she entered a beauty pageant for babies and was crowned the winner. She started taking dance lessons at the age of three. One of her teachers saw her show business potential early on, and was convinced that she would make it in the entertainment industry. Among others, she was tutored by Russian-born ballet dancer, choreographer, and actor Theodore Kosloff.
Career in Hollywood (1931–1944)
In 1931, Knowlden's father got her a screen test for the Paramount Pictures film Women Love Once while the whole family was visiting Hollywood for reasons related to Robert's work. He had called Fred Datig, a casting director at Paramount. Despite her young age, she managed to handle a speaking part with many lines without any problems. Due to child labor laws at the time, the family had to get permission for her to be able to work. They survived a car accident that day. Bertha had to be hospitalized for injuring her collar bone and a rib. Marilyn herself was only slightly injured and got help from actress Dolores Costello, who happened to witness the event. As promotion for the film, she performed at cinemas right before it would start. Her debut was met with praise from various newspapers at the time.
Knowlden worked steadily in films, many high-budget ones, throughout the 1930s. She was often cast as the daughter of the main characters, or as the leading lady in her childhood. Looking like a younger version of the actress cast as the leading lady was often a major reason why she was cast in a certain role. Unlike most actors, children and adults alike, during the studio system era, she was never contracted to a particular studio. Apart from a temporary period during the filming of Marie Antoinette when she studied at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Little Red Schoolhouse, she went to public school instead of schools for child actors in Hollywood. She was in Greta Garbo and Clark Gable's 1931 film Susan Lenox (Her Fall and Rise) but her scenes were deleted in the final cut. In 1933, Knowlden had an uncredited role as a young Flora in the pre-code drama Little Women, which starred Katharine Hepburn, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture at the 6th Academy Awards in 1934.
By 1934, Knowlden was seen as one of the few child actors to have established herself in a competitive industry. She was one of three actresses to portray Jessie Pullman (at age eight) in the 1934 Universal Pictures film Imitation of Life. Over 100 children had auditioned for the part that she ultimately got. The film, based on Fannie Hurst's 1933 novel of the same name, dealt with the topic of passing (a theme that would again be explored in a film that she appeared in a couple of years later, Show Boat). She played Claudette Colbert's character's daughter as a child. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture at the 7th Academy Awards the next year. In 2005, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Knowlden appeared in two Academy Award-nominated films for Best Picture the following year, David Copperfield, and Les Misérables. David Copperfield was based on Charles Dickens' 1850 novel, directed by George Cukor, and released by MGM. It was Freddie Bartholomew's debut in Hollywood. She played David's foster sister Agnes Wickfield as a child. Despite both being cast in the same film, she never met comedic actor W.C. Fields on the set. Her piano playing can be heard in one scene. Les Misérables, directed by Richard Boleslawski, was based on French author Victor Hugo's 1862 novel of the same name. Having both played the same character in Imitation of Life, Knowlden and Rochelle Hudson did it once again in Les Misérables when they portrayed Cosette during different moments of the film. Knowlden's face can be seen on most DVD covers of the film, which starred Fredric March and Charles Laughton. Her performance was described as "memorable" and "excellent" by various newspapers. She would be cast in another one of Boleslawski's films, Metropolitan, later that year.
Knowlden had a small part as Florence Udney in the 1936 epic historical drama film Anthony Adverse, again with Fredric March in a leading role, and Olivia de Havilland as his leading lady. It was nominated for Best Picture at the 9th Academy Awards the following year. She was cast in Rainbow on the River (1936), starring Bobby Breen, one of the few children's films that Knowlden ever appeared in. A reviewer from Detroit Free Press lauded her performance as Lucille Layton, calling her "a fine little actress". In the 1938 historical drama film Marie Antoinette, she portrayed princess Marie Thérèse of France, daughter of the title character, which was played by Norma Shearer. She also played Laurie Martin, James Cagney's character's love interest, as a child in Angels with Dirty Faces the same year.
Knowlden was considered for the role of Carreen O'Hara, Scarlett O'Hara's youngest sister, in Gone With the Wind, which ultimately went to the decade-older actress Ann Rutherford. Towards the end of her film career, she made an appearance in All This, and Heaven Too (1940), with Bette Davis and Charles Boyer. She played Marianna van Horn, one of the school students. This was the sixth time that she was in a film that became nominated for Best Picture by the Academy Awards.
The last film she appeared in was The Way of All Flesh in 1940.
Later life
Knowlden attended Beverly Hills High School. She retired from acting in films in 1944 to concentrate on her educational studies, and developing her musical and dramatic skills. She was attending the private California-based liberal arts and sciences college Mills College, majoring in music and drama, when she met and married the World War II Army Captain Richard Goates on July 30, 1946, at the All Saints Episcopal Church in San Leandro. They had met three years earlier. She accompanied her husband in his assignment in China and Japan, and became a radio announcer for the United States Armed Forces Radio Station in Nanking, which gave them better accommodations than the barracks. The call sign at her radio station was XMAG. They were also stationed in Yokohama and Shanghai. Leaving the military and returning to the United States, Richard enrolled at Stanford University while Marilyn supported him through school. He graduated in business, but not before they had their first child, Carolyn. He then attained his MBA, and they had two more children, Brian and Kevin, plus one foster child. She went back to Mills College as a student at the age of 50. She later divorced Richard and married Eliseo Busnardo.
Throughout most of her post-Hollywood life, Knowlden was a musician, songwriter and playwright, authoring a number of songs and musical plays. She often worked with Richard on these projects. For instance, they wrote a local musical called Never Put Off Until Tomorrow in 1962 in association with their Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church. Richard ran a transportation business at the time. She moved to Fallbrook in 1983. Then, at the age of 69, she had a leading role in a local theater production of My Fair Lady and continued in a variety of roles. Cinecon honored her with a lifetime achievement award at the Cinecon Classic Movies Festival in September 2010. The award was presented to her by actress Marsha Hunt, with whom she had appeared in the 1936 film Easy to Take. In 2011, she published an autobiography she had written, Little Girl in Big Pictures, describing her experiences as a child actress during the golden years of Hollywood, and telling "the rest of the story" about her life. She has fond memories of her time in Hollywood, and was always supported by her parents. She lives in a retirement home in California. In 2015, she was said to be one of the few people still alive that were working in Hollywood in the 1930s.

McMullen Naval History Symposium
|
The McMullen Naval History Symposium is a biennial international academic conference held at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland devoted to the history of the world's navies. It has become the "largest regular meeting of naval historians in the world" and has been described as the U.S. Navy's "single most important interaction with [an] academic historical audience"
History
This regular biennial series of symposia began as the U.S. Naval Academy Naval History Symposium. The first regular symposium was held in Annapolis on 27–28 April 1973, following a successful 1971 conference that had been conceived as an annual event and on a smaller scale with limited, invited participation. In 1977 for the Third Symposium, the Naval Academy History Department decided to expand the concept and model it along the lines of the academic conferences sponsored by the American Historical Association and the Organization of American Historians
The conference that had been planned to open on 12 September 2001 was abruptly cancelled by the attacks that occurred in New York and Washington, D.C., on September 11, 2001 and left the future of the conference in grave doubt. It took four years for the Naval Academy's leadership to approve the resumption of the conference on a biennial schedule, but with strong support the series resumed with the Fifteenth Conference in 2007. Facilitating this, in 2006 the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Foundation granted funds from the estate of Bill Daniels and the McMullen Seapower Lecture gift funds to support the symposium and to name it the McMullen Naval History Symposium in memory of Dr. John J. McMullen, Naval Academy Class of 1940, a naval architect, engineer, and sports club owner. Dr McMullen is also commemorated through a keynote McMullen Seapower lecture given at the symposium by the holder of the Class of 1957 Distinguished Chair of Naval Heritage.
The symposium has shown strength and growth in recent years. Despite the economic recession, more than two-hundred participants from seventeen countries attended the 2009 symposium. and the 2011 symposium had over 250 in attendance over 125 papers presented.
Fellowships
In 2009, the McMullen Seapower Fellowship was established for U.S Naval Academy faculty members to research, write, and deliver Seapower lectures at the biennial naval history symposium.

Aurelia of Regensburg
|
Saint Aurelia of Regensburg (died 1027), also known as Aurelia of Ratisbon, is an 11th-century Roman Catholic German saint.
Life
According to local tradition, Aurelia was a daughter of Hugh Capet, the first King of the Franks. She fled, disguised as a pilgrim, in order to escape a marriage arranged by her parents against her will. Following the advice of Saint Wolfgang, Bishop of Ratisbon, who saw through her disguise, she accepted the life of a solitary and entered St. Emmeram's Abbey near Regensburg, where she remained for about fifty-two years.
The reputation of her sanctity, evidenced by several miracles, was widespread at the time of her death in 1027. Her relics were enshrined, and her hermitage converted into a chapel, which became a popular pilgrimage site.
Aurelia's name comes from the Latin term aureus meaning "golden".

David McBride
|
David B. McBride (born June 23, 1942) is an American politician who served in the Delaware General Assembly for forty-two years. After serving one term in the Delaware House of Representatives from the 15th district, he was elected to the Delaware Senate from the 13th district in 1980 and served there for 40 years. A member of the Democratic Party, he was elected majority leader in the senate before becoming president pro tempore during his last four years in office. In 2020, he was defeated by Marie Pinkney in the Democratic primary.
Early and personal life
McBride was born on June 23, 1942, in Wilmington, Delaware. He served in the United States Air Force from 1961 to 1969, including at Lackland Air Force Base in 1961, Sheppard Air Force Base from 1961 to 1962, Maxwell Air Force Base from 1962 to 1963, Kadena Air Base from 1963 to 1964, Fuchū Air Base from 1964 to 1967, U-Tapao Royal Thai Navy Airfield in 1967, and Langley Air Force Base from 1968 to 1969.
He graduated from Conrad High School in 1960. During his time in the service, he took various secondary courses at several universities in the United States and Japan. After returning to Delaware, he graduated from the University of Delaware with a BS in civil engineering in 1972 and a MS in civil engineering in 1975.
In 1984, he married Mary, but they later divorced. McBride had previously been married to Kei, with whom he had a son, David Jr. On April 12, 1985, McBride's son died at age 16 from injuries he had received in a car accident early in the week.
Career
Business
In 1985, Southern Delaware Home Health Care Agency Incorporated, a non-profit home health care business run by David and his wife Mary, was investigated by the United States Department of Justice for over-billing patients and found to owe over $73,000 in overpayments. They closed their business shortly after the investigation was launched. Eleven employees of the business later filed a lawsuit for over $8,600 in unpaid wages and benefits. By 1986, the business owned the federal government nearly $80,000 due to interest on the unpaid principal. In 2012 McBride joined Duffield Associates’ Client Services group as a senior manager for client services and marketing. He has been a registered professional engineer in Delaware since 1976.
Politics
In 1976, McBride ran for a seat on the Conrad Area School district school board and defeated Charles E. Ballard for the seat with 1,131 votes to Ballard's 91 votes. He was selected to serve as vice-president of the Conrad school board in 1977. In 1978, McBride announced that he would seek the Democratic nomination for a seat in the Delaware House of Representatives from the 15th district against incumbent Representative Robert L. Byrd. McBride defeated Byrd in the Democratic primary and won in the general election. During his tenure in the Delaware House of Representatives, he served on the Community Affairs committee and as chairman of the Education committee.
In 1980, Francis J. Kearns, a member of the Delaware Senate, announced that he would not seek reelection. McBride received the Democratic nomination to run in the 13th district and faced no opposition in the general election. He was reelected every four years with no opponents running against him until 2020, when he was defeated in the Democratic primary by Marie Pinkney.
He was appointed to serve as chairman of the Education committee in the Delaware Senate in 1981. In 1991, he was appointed to serve on the Education, Health and Social Service/Aging, Revenue and Taxation, Labor and Industrial Relations, and Finance committees. From 2013 to 2017, he served as Majority Leader of the Delaware Senate. In 2016, he was nominated to serve as President Pro Tempore of the Delaware Senate after President Pro Tempore Patricia Blevins was defeated by a Republican in the 2016 general election.
In 1984, while serving in the state senate, McBride announced that he would seek the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor. McBride selected Robert P. Hopkins, who had unsuccessfully sought election to the Delaware House of Representatives, to serve as his campaign manager. During the campaign he was endorsed by Millsboro Commissioner James Smith, Elsmere Mayor John Mitchell, and Kent County Levy Court Commissioner Louis J. Giusto. McBride was also endorsed by Representative Al O. Plant, but Plant later switched his endorsement to S. B. Woo. In the Democratic primary he placed last in third place behind Nancy Cook and Woo. During the campaign McBride has spent $38,793 and held unpaid debt due to his campaign until 1991.

Alexander Clutterbuck
|
Sir Peter Alexander Clutterbuck (27 March 1897 – 29 December 1975) was a British diplomat who was high commissioner to Canada and India and ambassador to Ireland.
Life and career
Alexander's father, Sir Peter Clutterbuck, was an Inspector General of Forests in India and Burma.
Peter Alexander Clutterbuck was educated at Malvern College and Pembroke College, Cambridge. During World War I, he served in the Coldstream Guards and was awarded the Military Cross and a mention in dispatches. After the war he entered the Civil Service, at first in the Post Office, transferring to the Colonial Office in 1922.
He was secretary to the Donoughmore Commission 1927–28, and a member of the UK delegations to the League of Nations General Assembly in 1929, 1930 and 1931. He was secretary to the Newfoundland Royal Commission in 1933. He was High Commissioner to Canada 1946–52 and to India 1952–55. His term in India was cut short by ill health: he was advised not to continue to serve in a tropical climate and was appointed ambassador to the Republic of Ireland 1955–59.
Finally, he was Permanent Under-Secretary at the Commonwealth Relations Office 1959–61.
Clutterbuck was appointed CMG in the 1943 New Year Honours, knighted KCMG in the New Year Honours of 1946 and raised to GCMG in the Queen's Birthday Honours of 1952.
Above all Alec Clutterbuck was a Christian and a gentleman. Such phrases may sound out of fashion today, but there will be many past and present members of the service who will remember him with gratitude and affection and will recall the guiding lights of his life – loyalty, devotion to duty, integrity and, supremely, the Christian virtues of humility and charity.

Muhammad bin Nasir
|
Muhammad bin Nasir al-Ghafiri () (died 1728) was one of the rival Imams during the civil wars in Oman in the final years of the Yaruba dynasty.
Rule of Ya'arab bin Bel'arab
Mohammed bin Nasir was the "Temeemeh" of the Beni Ghafir, a Nizar tribe.
In 1720 Ya'Arab bin Bel'arab seized power in Oman, declaring himself regent during the minority of his cousin Saif bin Sultan II.
In May 1722 Ya'Arab took the next step and proclaimed himself Imam.
This caused an uprising led by Bel'arab bin Nasir, a relative by marriage of the deposed Imam.
After some skirmishes, Ya'Arab bin Bel'arab was defeated at Nizwa and the young Saif bin Sultan II was again declared Imam, this time with Bela'rab bin Nasir as regent.
Mohammed bin Nasir was among the notables who came to Rustaq to congratulate him.
For some reason, Bel'arab bin Nasir picked a quarrel with Mohammed bin Nasir, who took steps to organize a rebellion in alliance with the former Imam Ya'Arab bin Bel'arab.
Civil war
In the fighting that followed Sheikh Mohammed bin Nasir proved to be a skilled commander.
After a series of defeats, Bel'arab bin Nasir was forced to accept peace terms under which he would surrender all forts in Oman.
Around this time Ya'Arab bin Bel'arab died on 16 March 1723 at Nizwa.
Mohammed bin Nasir learned that the forts at Muscat and Barka were holding out under the leadership of Kalf bin Mubarak al-Hinawi.
He imprisoned Bel'arab bin Nasir, and with a growing force of tribesmen advanced on Barka.
Confused fighting followed, with Mohammed bin Nasir much stronger on land but Kalf having the advantage of sea power.
Imam
Mohammed bin Nasir gained the upper hand. In September 1724 he called a meeting of Sheikhs of Oman at which he declared his intent to withdraw from the struggle.
As planned, he was asked to instead accept the position of Imam.
Muhammad bin Nasir was elected Imam on 2 October 1724.
His rival, Khalf bin Mubarak, stirred up trouble among the northern tribes. In an engagement at Sohar in 1728 both Khalf bin Mubarak and Muhammad bin Nasir were killed.
The garrison of Sohar recognized Saif bin Sultan II as Imam, and he was re-installed at Nizwa.
However, some of the inhabitants of Az Zahirah elected Saif's cousin Bal'arab bin Himyar as Imam.

Tigriopus californicus
|
Tigriopus californicus is an intertidal copepod species that occurs on the Pacific coast of North America. This species has been the subject of numerous scientific studies on subjects ranging from ecology and evolution to neurobiology.
Ecology and environment
Found from central Baja California, Mexico to Alaska, USA along the Pacific coast of North America, T. californicus inhabits splash pools in rocky intertidal habitat. T. californicus is limited to pools in the upper end of the intertidal apparently by predation, but it can reach quite high population densities in this habitat. One study found that population densities on Vancouver Island averaged about 800 copepods per liter with some dense pools having as many as 20,000 copepods per liter.
These splash pools are often isolated from the moderating influence of the ocean and therefore the pools can vary dramatically in environmental factors such as salinity and temperature over the course of hours or days. T. californicus has the ability to thrive under these variable environmental conditions (factors that limit predators such as fish to lower pools in the intertidal zone). Temperature in the pools that this copepod inhabits tend to track air temperatures more closely than ocean temperatures and salinities in pools can change as pools evaporate, receive freshwater inputs from rain, or saltwater from wave actions.
The ability of T. californicus to handle extreme high temperatures varies among populations with southern California populations able to handle higher temperatures than those further north. This pattern of higher thermal tolerance in southern populations mirrors the temperature variation seen in copepod pools with southern populations experiencing more extreme high temperatures (over on occasion). The genetic basis of this potential thermal adaptation has been studied by looking at genome-wide studies of gene expression and this study showed that differential expression of Hsp70 genes and a number of other genes could contribute to differences in thermal tolerance between these populations.
They have been known to have survived up to six months in laboratory conditions, however their longevity in natural conditions has yet to be determined.
Genetics and evolution
Populations of T. californicus along the Pacific coast of North America show a striking pattern of genetic differentiation among populations. Mitochondrial DNA shows particularly large divergences among populations often exceeding twenty percent total sequence divergence. Genetic divergence of a smaller magnitude extends down to a more local scale and this divergence can be stable for longer than two decades for outcrops that are as little as apart, suggesting that dispersal between outcrops must be relatively rare for this copepod. Surprisingly, genetic divergence is much lower among copepod populations from Washington north to Alaska suggesting that copepods may have recolonized these areas since the end of the last ice age. Crosses of copepods from different populations of T. californicus have been used to study how reproductive isolation accumulates between diverging population to gain insights into the process of speciation. For crosses between many populations a pattern that has been called hybrid breakdown is observed; this means that first generation hybrids have high survival and reproduction (fitness), while the second generation hybrids have lower and more variable fitness. Deleterious interactions between the mitochondrial genome and nuclear genome may play a large role in the reduction in hybrid fitness observed in many of these crosses.
Sex determination in T. californicus does not appear to be caused by sex chromosomes and is likely to be polygenic, potentially influenced by environmental conditions. The ratios of males to females produced by females differs among families and in some families seems to be genetically determined largely by the father in a pair. Another interesting feature of the mating system of this species is that the males use their large clasping antennules to clutch females until they are ready to mate. Females will mate only once during their lives but produce multiple clutches of offspring.
Physiology
This copepod species has also been used as a model system in which to look at some questions in animal physiology including both neurobiology and osmoregulation. In response to increasing or decreasing environmental salinities T. californicus changes the amount of amino acids within its cells to maintain water balance. The amino acid proline is subject to strict regulation in response to changes in salinity and this may be a common mechanism of osmoregulation across crustaceans. For neurobiology, one study looked at the central nervous system of this copepod to get an idea of the organization of the central nervous system of the ancestors to the crustaceans and insects to complement the neurobiological work that has been done in a group of distantly related copepods (the calanoid copepods).

Bitstrips

Bitstrips was a media and technology company based in Toronto, Canada, and founded in 2007 by Jacob Blackstock, David Kennedy, Shahan Panth, Dorian Baldwin, and Jesse Brown. The company's web application, Bitstrips.com, allowed users to create comic strips using personalized avatars, and preset templates and poses. Brown and Blackstock explained that the service was meant to enable self-expression without the need to have artistic skills. Bitstrips was first presented in 2008 at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, and the service later piloted and launched a version designed for use as educational software. The service achieved increasing prominence following the launch of versions for Facebook and mobile platforms.
In 2014, Bitstrips launched a spin-off app known as Bitmoji, which allows users to create personalized stickers for use in messaging apps. In July 2016, Snap, Inc. announced that it had acquired the company; the Bitstrips comic service was shut down, but Bitmoji remains operational, and has subsequently been given greater prominence within Snapchat's overall platform.
History
Bitstrips was co-developed by Toronto-based comic artist Jacob Blackstock and his high school friend, journalist Jesse Brown. The service was originally envisioned as a means to allow anyone to create their own comic strip without needing artistic skills. Brown explained that "it's so difficult and time-consuming to tell a story in comic book form, drawing the same characters again and again in these tiny little panels, and just the amount of craftsmanship required. And even if you can do it well, which I never could, it takes years to make a story." Brown stated that the service would be "groundwork for a whole new way to communicate", and went as far as describing the service as being a "YouTube for comics". Blackstock explained that the concept of Bitstrips was influenced by his own use of comics as a form of socialization; a student, Blackstock and his friends drew comics featuring each other and shared them during classes. He felt that Bitstrips was a "medium for self-expression", stating that "It's not just about you making the comics, but since you and your friends star in these comics, it's like you're the medium. The visual nature of comics just speaks so much louder than text."
The service was publicly unveiled at South by Southwest in 2008. In 2009, the service introduced a version oriented towards the educational market, Bitstrips for Schools, which was initially piloted at a number of schools in Ontario. The service was praised by educators for being engaging to students, especially within language classes. Brown noted that students were using the service to create comics outside of class as well, stating that it was "so gratifying and shocking what people do with your tool to make their own stories in ways that you never would have anticipated. Some of them are just brilliant."
In December 2012, Bitstrips launched a version for Facebook; by July 2013, Bitstrips had 10 million unique users on Facebook, having created over 50 million comics. In October 2013, Bitstrips launched a mobile app; in two months, Bitstrips became a top-downloaded app in 40 countries, and over 30 million avatars had been created with it. In November 2013, Bitstrips secured a round of funding from Horizons Ventures and Li Ka-shing.
In October 2014, Bitstrips launched Bitmoji, a spin-off app that allows users to create stickers featuring Bitstrips characters in various templates.
In July 2016, following unconfirmed reports earlier in the year, Snap, Inc. announced that it had acquired Bitstrips. The company's staff continue to operate out of Toronto, but the original Bitstrips comic service was shut down in favour of focusing exclusively on Bitmoji. Following the acquisition, Snapchat's app was updated to integrate with Bitmoji, allowing users to link their accounts between the two apps and add Bitmoji to their posts. In September 2017, animated, 3D rendered Bitmoji were introduced to Snapchat's augmented reality "World Lenses" feature.
Since the Snap acquisition, Bitmoji has seen significant growth; in April 2017, it was reported that Bitmoji was the most-downloaded app on the iOS App Store in Australia, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In December 2017, Apple stated that Bitmoji was the most-downloaded iOS app worldwide in 2017, followed in second place by Snapchat itself. The following month, Bitmoji released an update branded as "Bitmoji Deluxe", which includes a wider array of customization options.
In June 2018, Snap launched its development platform Snap Kit, which includes the ability to offer access to Bitmoji stickers within third-party services with a Snapchat connection. In April 2019, Snap announced a new multiplayer mobile game within the Snapchat app known as Bitmoji Party, where players use their Bitmoji characters in-game. Later that month, Snap announced a new software development kit for selected partners.

Acanthognathus poinari
|
Acanthognathus poinari is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae known from a single possibly Miocene fossil found on Hispaniola. A. poinari is the first species of the ant genus Acanthognathus to have been described from fossils found in Dominican amber and is one of several species of Acanthognathus found in the Greater Antillas.
History and classification
Acanthognathus poinari is known from a solitary fossil insect which, along with six dipteran and a leaf section, is an inclusion in a transparent chunk of Dominican amber. The amber was produced by the extinct Hymenaea protera, which formerly grew on Hispaniola, across northern South America and up to southern Mexico. The specimens were collected from an undetermined amber mine in fossil bearing rocks of the Cordillera Septentrional mountains, northern Dominican Republic. The amber dates from at least the Burdigalian stage of the Miocene, based on studying the associated fossil foraminifera and may be as old as the Middle Eocene, based on the associated fossil coccoliths. This age range is due to the host rock being secondary deposits for the amber, and the Miocene the age range is only the youngest that it might be.
The holotype amber specimen, number H-10-135, is currently preserved in the amber collections of noted amber researcher George Poinar Jr., which at the time of description were housed in the University of California, Berkeley. The fossil was first studied by entomologists Cesare Baroni Urbani and Maria L. De Andrade of the University of Basle with their 1994 type description of the new species being published in the journal Transactions of the American Entomological Society. The specific epithet poinari is a patronym honoring George Poinar for his enthusiasm for amber which interested the authors into study of the specimens.
Prior to the species formal description in 1994 the known distribution of the genus was confined to tropical Central and South America, ranging from Honduras south to Northern Argentina and Southeastern Brazil. Member species are active predators which use highly enlarged and modified trap-jaw mandibles.
Description
The Acanthognathus poinari specimen is well preserved with an estimated body length of , including the enlarged mandibles. The overall coloration of A. poinari is a glossy reddish brown in general, which slightly lightens on the legs and antennae. The antennae are a distinct club shape with 2 joints. The mandibles and scape are slightly shorter than the head in combined length an host a number of sparse hairs. The gaster and petiole are smooth to very faintly punctate or striate, with the stria getting more distinct on the trunk. The head capsule shows distinct strong reticulation and patterning. A. poinari is separated from the living genera by the distinct transverse ornamentation found on the posterior cephalic angles.

Ford Nation
|
Ford Nation is an opinion and discussion programme that aired on the Canadian news channel Sun News Network. The show featured two sitting Toronto politicians, mayor Rob Ford and his brother, city councillor Doug Ford Jr., and was pulled from the network after only one airing on November 18, 2013. An online version of the show aired on YouTube for five episodes between February and April, 2014. The title is a reference to the ardent, mainly suburban supporters of the Fords and their positive conservative goal.
Background
From February 2012 to November 3, 2013, the Fords hosted The City, a weekly two-hour Sunday afternoon show on CFRB radio which Rob Ford described as "an unfiltered take on the work we do every day at Toronto City Hall." After months of controversy involving the mayor, criticism of the station for letting the Fords use the show as a "bully pulpit" where their political allies were promoted and opponents cut down, and complaints to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council alleging the show breached its code of ethics, CFRB announced in November 2013 that it and the Fords had "mutually determined" to end The City.
On November 14, the brothers were tapped by Sun News Network to host a weekly pre-taped one-hour program on the TV network, to be titled Ford Nation.
Content
The lone airing of Ford Nation was broadcast on Monday, November 18, 2013, taking the 8PM (ET) slot normally occupied by Sun News Network's The Source with Ezra Levant. The format included a back-and-forth dialogue between Rob Ford and Doug Ford, with the former readmitting the personal mistakes he has made as mayor ("It is what it is. I've admitted to my mistakes."). Segments included discussions with Levant and Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington. Levant's appearance included a commentary critical of the Toronto Star's investigations into Rob Ford, with Levant likening the media's treatment of the mayor over his recent controversies to the paparazzi's hounding of Princess Diana.
Cancellation and revival as web series
On November 19, 2013, less than 24 hours after Ford Nation's debut, Sun News Network announced it was cancelling the program after just one episode. Sun News cited high production costs involved with the premiere episode; the show, taped one day before its airing, reportedly took five hours to record and an additional eight hours to edit. Additionally, the show met with advertiser resistance about being associated with the controversial politicians. Doug Ford, in a later conversation with the National Post, insisted that the brothers entered into the project with Sun with the understanding that Ford Nation was a "one-off" project, one that was not intended to evolve into prolonged status.
Despite the show's expense and its immediate cancellation, Ford Nation's sole episode attracted an audience of 155,000 viewers for the original broadcast, plus an additional 45,000 for its replay on prime time in Western Canada and 65,000 downloads of the program online. The audience was, according to Sun News vice-president Kory Teneycke, "by far the most successful thing, from an audience perspective, the network has ever done," topping a 2012 charity boxing match between Liberal MP Justin Trudeau and Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau.
Rob Ford's celebrity status had, according to Doug Ford, caught the eye of several reality television producers in both Canada and the United States. Councillor Ford stated that the brothers passed on those offers, but took an interest in suggestions by videographers for an online program that would retain the Ford Nation title and be posted weekly on YouTube. The program employed a format similar to what the Fords enjoyed on CFRB's The City, with the Fords "[getting] the message out" on various topics in a "professional, yet simple" presentation, with occasional interactions with guests and audiences.
Councillor Ford announced the new show would be released on YouTube "before Christmas" 2013. A series of short videos of under 5 minutes in length was launched on YouTube on February 10, 2014. In one segment, Mayor Ford admitted lying about his drug use. Others were lighter in tone and included predictions for the Stanley Cup playoffs and other remarks. In the second video, Ford named 18 councillors he wanted defeated, offering his support to any campaign opposing them. Each weekly "episode" consisted of 3 to 5 short videos of 1 to 5 minutes in length. Comments were disabled; however, the brothers occasionally answered viewer emails in the segments. The National Post described the program as "a bizarro world version of Wayne's World".
Five episodes of the web series aired, with some episodes broken up into several parts. No new episodes were filmed after April 2014 when Rob Ford entered rehab following the emergence of a second video of him smoking crack cocaine.

Down Easter (ship)
|
The Down Easter or Downeaster was a type of 19th-century sailing ship built in Maine, and used largely in the California grain trade. It was a modification of the clipper ship using a similar bow but with better cargo handling. It achieved a balance between speed and tonnage such that it made the wheat trade between California and Great Britain competitive with east coast grain trade via steam ship. It could make the trip between San Francisco and Liverpool in 100 days, despite rounding Cape Horn and crossing the equator twice. A more unusual name for the rig was shipentine.
History
Arthur Sewall had begun building very large Down Easters in 1869. Beginning with the launch of the Rappahannock, they built a series of 300 foot, 3,000 tonners. The Rappahannock was a full-rigged 3-masted ship, and the Sewalls realized that at this size a fourth mast was needed to make the rig manageable. Subsequent vessels were rigged as 4-masted barks, with a fore-and-aft rigged fourth mast. These were at the limit of wooden ship size, and for this reason they switched to the British practice of building with steel. The after mast was called the jigger, and since it was fore-and-aft rigged like a bark's mizzen, these vessels were commonly called four masted barks.
The history of the name Downeaster derives from the fact that these ships were designed for trade between Maine and Boston where the ships generally sailed downwind and easterly on the trip to Maine.
Other uses
"Down Easter" may also refer to a type of power fishing vessels or a brand of sailboats.
Billy Joel composed a song called "The Downeaster Alexa", describing the ship as a power fishing vessel.

Walnut twig beetle
|
Pityophthorus juglandis, also known as the walnut twig beetle for feeding on several different species of walnut trees, Juglans, is one of only a few species in the genus Pityophthorus that is associated with hardwoods and the only one associated with feeding on walnut trees.
Description
Pityophthorus juglandis can easily be distinguished from other members of its genus. Curtis Utley, a researcher at Colorado State University, elaborates on these differences stating, "Among these differences there are the 4 to 6 concentric rows of asperities on the prothorax, usually broken and overlapping at the median line. The declivity at the end of the wing covers is steep, very shallowly bisulcate, and at the apex it is generally flattened with small granules." The walnut twig beetles' small size is common for its genus. Adult beetles average between 1.5 and 1.9 millimeters in length. Although little is known about the life-cycle of the walnut twig beetle, during experimentation with the beetle in a controlled environment, the lifespan of one generation of walnut twig beetles was seven weeks after logs of black walnut, Juglans nigra, were harvested from the wild in May, marking what scientists think is the beginning of the feeding season of the walnut twig beetle. Gatherings of the beetle in sections of the walnut tree are known as galleries. The outward appearance of the walnut above these galleries seemed normal except for small beetle entrance holes. In later stages of decline, beetle entrance holes and galleries were found scattered every 2 to 5 centimeters, essentially crippling the tree.
The walnut twig beetle is commonly associated with the fungus Geosmithia morbida that causes damage ranging from discoloration in some species of walnuts to mortality in others. "Thousand cankers disease" was given its name because of the magnitude of galleries and subsequent cankers created by the disturbance regime of walnut twig beetles and Geosmithia morbida. The black walnuts only survived for several years after the start of feeding by the walnut twig beetle. However other species of walnut that are more regenerative towards Geosmithia morbida allowed the walnut twig beetle to feed for longer.
Origin and subsequent spread of species
The walnut twig beetle was first recorded in 1928 in Arizona inhabiting the Arizona walnut tree, Juglans major. The movement of this insect from Arizona to the surrounding areas was recorded in 1959 in Los Angeles when the walnut twig beetle was collected from both the black walnut and the native southern California black walnut, Juglans californica. Recently the beetle and fungus have spread to areas of the United States with much colder climates. In Denver, Colorado during 2001 the first cases of black walnut mortality due to cankerous sores caused by the walnut twig beetle and the fungus, Geosmithia morbida, which the walnut twig beetle carries, were recorded, and by 2008 nearly all of the black walnuts in Denver, Colorado had been eliminated. A similar instance occurred during this same time period in Delta, a city nearly four hundred kilometers west of Denver. Bark beetles are a major natural disturbance in North American forests, in recent history affecting more area annually than fire does.
Association with Geosmithia morbida
The walnut twig beetle is not the first bark beetle to be associated with a species of Geosmithia. The deaths of black walnut trees associated with the walnut twig beetle are not caused by the beetle but instead Geosmithia morbida. The origin of Geosmithia morbida is not known, but experts strongly believe that its emergence is connected to the walnut tree beetle and the Arizona walnut tree, and was not caused by the transfer of the disease from another area but instead by an evolutionary change in a similar species of fungi that inhabited closely to where the beetle was first identified. The fungus and beetle have developed a symbiotic relationship in which the fungus allows itself to be eaten by the beetle in return for a ride to the fungus's next host. The walnut twig beetle's hard shell covers two wings, and because the beetle can fly, Geosmithia morbida is reliant on the walnut twig beetle to be spread across distances, making the fungus entomochoric, or completely dependent upon the walnut twig beetle for dispersal, and only found in habitats containing the beetle.
Human prevention of spread
Human intervention in disturbances related to tree extinction because of infectious disease or invasive wildlife has historically been costly and therefore limited at best. Pruning a tree is one way humans combat fungi spread by bark beetles, and has been the reported course of action to take when dealing with similar fungi such as the Dutch elm disease. Bark beetles usually feast on limbs no greater than in diameter, spreading Dutch elm disease to a place that is still manageable to prune. However, the walnut twig beetle is not limited to attacking the limbs. Because the beetle can attack the trunk, pruning is rendered useless. In 2010 an outbreak of both Geosmithia morbida and the walnut twig beetle was identified in the community of Knoxville, Tennessee, threatening over 27 million black walnuts in Tennessee alone. The establishment of quarantine in the area was enacted, denoting a most drastic need to stop the spread of the disease. Since then several other states have enacted an exterior state quarantine in order to stop the spread of these pests into their states. Currently the most successful cure for Geosmithia morbida is the insertion of sterile agar into the site of the infection. However, since the magnitude of the number of holes in one tree bored by the walnut tree beetle is so great, this method does not seem to be an effective solution either. Community officials claim that the best thing people can do is not transport firewood, limiting the human spread of the disease.

Princess Hayu
|
Princess Hayu of Yogyakarta () is the fourth child and daughter of Sultan Hamengkubuwono X of Yogyakarta and his consort, Ratu Hemas. She is married to Prince Notonegoro, an executive in the United Nations Development Programme Indonesia and a professional in the United Nations, New York, United States.
Early life
Princess Hayu was born in Yogyakarta on 24 December 1983. She is the fourth daughter of five siblings: 1. Princess Mangkubumi, 2. Princess Condrokirono, 3. Princess Maduretno, 4. Princess Hayu and 5. Princess Bendara. She spent her early childhood mostly in Yogyakarta. One of her particular interests when she was a child were games, mostly puzzles and Lego. In her adolescent days, she also enjoyed sports, especially roller-skating. She competed in a national championship to represent her province in 1992 and won a gold medal.
Princess Hayu attended junior high school in Australia for a year before returning to Indonesia. She then continued her studies at SMAN 3 Padmanaba Highschool Yogyakarta, a high school that was also attended by her future husband Prince Notonegoro. After spending a year in Padmanaba Highschool, she moved to Singapore and went to the International School of Singapore.
Following her graduation from high school, Hayu decided to study Information Technology. She took a Computer Science Major at Stevens Institute of Technology, in the US, before moving to Bournemouth University in England to study Design and IT Project Management.
Marriage
Hayu's marriage to Prince Notonegoro received heavy public attention since the engagement was announced on 20 June 2013. The couple had been dating for 10 years and knew each other from a young age as their respective mothers are friends. Hayu's mother Ratu Hemas requested Noto to help her daughter when she started attending college in the US. Notonegoro, who was pursuing graduate studies in the US at that time, met the princess in New York and the romance began there.
Since Hayu was the last of her parents' children to get married, the wedding was arranged as a cultural event for the people in Yogyakarta. While the previous royal weddings only involved a parade of five royal horse carriages, Hayu's wedding had twelve horse carriages to transport all the members of the Royal Family of Yogyakarta. The wedding also managed to boost tourism in Yogyakarta which is a touristic destination in the first place.
On 22 October 2013, Princess Hayu was officially married to Prince Notonegoro. The royal wedding in Yogyakarta Palace was conducted over three consecutive days. Thousands of guests attended the royal wedding including the President of the Republic of Indonesia Mr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Consistent with the Muslim tradition, the wedding solemnisation ritual Ijab qabul was conducted by the Sultan himself without the presence of the bride. The wedding vow was conducted in archaic Javanese language, which translated as:
"I, Prince Notonegoro, today carry out Your Majesty's command to marry your daughter Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Hayu with the Holy Quran and a set of prayer outfits as a dowry."
At the culmination of the wedding Princess Hayu and Prince Notonegoro were paraded in the city. Thousands of people turned out to witness this parade.
On August 18, 2019, Princess Hayu gave birth to their first child, a baby boy named Raden Mas Manteyyo Kuncoro Suryonegoro.
Professional experience
Following her graduation from college, Princess Hayu worked at a software house in Jakarta as a project manager for internet banking. After three years in this business, she moved to her hometown Yogyakarta and became a game producer for Gameloft, a global game company. She is now also serving as the chief of Tepas Tandha Yekti, a new department in the Palace which manages IT and documentation affairs.
Hayu's figure as a professional worker has changed people's perceptions about the role and status of women in the Javanese royal court. Princess Hayu is seen as a modern independent woman which negates the image of woman being subservient in Javanese culture especially among royals.
Hayu's professional career
2007-2008: Microsoft Indonesia – Internship Programme
2009-2012: Aprisma Indonesia – Project Manager
2012-2013: Gameloft Indonesia – HD Game Producer
2012–present: Tepas Tandhayekti – Penghageng (Chief)

James Le Jeune
|
James Le Jeune RHA (24 May 1910 – 29 January 1983) was an Irish-Canadian artist who painted portraits, landscapes, and seascapes.
Early life
James George Le Jeune was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on 24 May 1910. He was the son of Anthony Le Jeune, a musician of English and French descent, and Agnes Tidmarsh from Galway, with his paternal grandmother Elizabeth Mahony from Killarney Ireland . His great uncle was the English Victorian painter Henry Le Jeune an Associate of the Royal Academy of Arts. Le Jeune was the youngest of five siblings, three boys and two girls.
When he was two, his family moved to St. Brieuc in Brittany where he attended a Christian Brothers School. He continued his education in a boarding school in Northampton, England.
Career
In the early 1930s, Le Jeune began training in art in Paris and later in London at Heatherley School of Fine Art and the Byam Shaw School of Art. He moved to the United States and attended the Art Students League in New York. Le Jeune also studied architecture at the Central London Polytechnic under Sir Giles Gilbert Scott for three years.
When World War II broke out, Le Jeune served in the British Army in Africa and Italy. Following the end of the war, he worked as an architect, but he had not lost his interest in painting. In 1948 Le Jeune showed with the New English Art Club at Bank Field Museum alongside R O Dunlop and John Anderson. He also exhibited at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Fisherman's Regatta at the Society of Marine Artists, where he was one of just 40 members.
In 1950, Le Jeune and his wife Pamela (née Mocatta) moved to Delgany in County Wicklow where he designed and built his own home. He briefly practised as an architect but gave this up to paint full-time. The Le Jeunes had three daughters, one of whom went on to be a self-taught artist. He also showed at the Royal Scottish Academy annual exhibition in 1950.
In 1951, aged 41, Le Jeune began exhibiting at The Royal Hibernian Academy and was a regular exhibitor there for the next 31 years until 1982. Le Jeune also exhibited two paintings in the Irish Exhibition of Living Art in 1951. In 1953 Le Jeune showed several paintings at the Royal Watercolour Society in London where the Guardian's art critic noted,"The mantle of the late William Walcot seems to have descended on James Le Jeune who depicts Piccadilly and York Minster with much the same slashing brush strokes and at least an equal ability to organise an apparent chaos into three-dimensional buildings."In 1955 Le Jeune exhibited with the Society of Dublin Painters and with the Water Colour Society of Ireland for the first time. He returned to the Dublin Painters in 1956, and exhibited with the Water Colour Society of Ireland twice more, in 1956 and 1959. He showed works in the Oireachtas Exhibitions of 1961 and 1963.
His first one-man show was at Dublin's Victor Waddington Galleries in 1954, which consisted of a number of street scenes from London and Dublin, along with paintings from his foreign travels, Algiers and Palmero. He also presented one watercolour painting Perugia, at the Royal Academy of Arts 186th summer exhibition in 1954.
In 1956 he had an exhibition in the Little Theatre, Brown Thomas. Commenting on his Brown Thomas exhibit, The Dublin Magazine noted:"This artist's palette in landscape is inclined to be over-sombre; in his portraits on the other hand, his low tones give depth and background, and his subjects are almost startling in their truth and reality – seen with a touch of humour which stops short of caricature."Le Jeune returned to the same venue for a solo exhibition in the following year, when the art critic for the Dublin Evening Mail proclaimed that the exhibition "establishes this artist as one of the finest portrait painters in this country." He held a further one-man show at the Brown Thomas Gallery in 1959 when his address was listed as care of the Rowley Gallery.
In 1960 Le Jeune moved to a new studio at 38 Baggot Lane in Dublin, Ireland, where he lived and worked until his death in 1983. Between 1964 and 1969 Le Jeune opened and maintained a studio in New York City and divided his time between the two cities. Jimmy, as he was known locally, was a regular visitor at Searsons pub and The Waterloo on Baggot Street. A year after he opened his Dublin studio, Le Jeune was appointed an associate of the Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA). From 1961 to 1972, he exhibited as a member before becoming a full RHA member in 1973.
Death and legacy
Le Jeune died in Blackrock, County Dublin on 29 January 1983, after suffering a heart attack a month earlier. He was survived by three daughters. Le Jeune was buried in Kilquade, County Wicklow. Writing for the Irish Independent twenty-five years later in 2008, journalist Con Houlihan, commented on his friend,"James was what you might call a painters' painter: he was greatly respected by his fellows but not as well known to the public. He had the invaluable gift of being able to laugh at himself. He was a brilliant catcher in the wry."Examples of his work can be found in Newport Art Gallery, The National Gallery of Ireland, The National Self Portrait Collection of Ireland, The Abbey Theatre, Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, McKee Barracks, Kings Inns, and The United Arts Club.

Kanichi Fujiwara is a Japanese long-distance motorcycle rider and writer.
Journeys
Between May 1987 and August 1999 he journeyed several continents with a number of small motorcycles including a Honda Super Cub, 50 cc Honda Motra and Honda Gorilla utility minibikes, and a Honda Dio scooter. His 1995 trip around Japan was documented in his 1997 book The Original Bike Bastard Starving Around Japan.
Between March 2004 and May 2008 he made a journey circumnavigating the world on a Yamaha Passol electric scooter, on a route including Australia from Sydney to Perth, Thailand, India to Lisbon, South Africa to Kenya, and America from New York to San Francisco (44 countries). It may have been the first global circumnavigation by electric two-wheeler. Fujiwara visited and documented the sites of sacred trees in various countries to spread awareness of green transportation.
The scooter he used in the 2004–2008 circumnavigation, sponsored by Yamaha, weighed , had a 30 km/h top speed, and an endurance of 20 km on a battery charge. Even with six batteries giving a 100 km range, his partner had to shuttle charged batteries to him in order to cross Australia's Nullarbor Plain.
Between April 2009 and November 2013, he rode 100,000 kilometers across Japan's major highways on a 50 cc Honda Cub, sponsored by motorcycle apparel supplier Rough & Road, and supported by serializing his journeys in the Japanese magazine Tandem Style and on his own blog.
Online journalism
In addition to various blogs covering his motorcycle travels, Fujiwara is also a food critic. His "Tabigohan" column covers road food at roadside stations and other Japanese venues for BBB-Bike, an online publication of large Japanese auction house BDS.

Zoltán Meszlényi
|
Zoltán Lajos Meszlényi was a Hungarian Catholic bishop, born in Hatvan on 2 January 1892. He died in prison on 4 March 1951 at Kistarcsa, Hungary. His death is recognised as martyrdom by the Catholic Church. He was beatified on 31 October 2009.
Life
Zoltán Lajos Meszlényi the second child of five was born on 2 January 1892 in Hatvan near Budapest. His parents were Zoltán Meszlényi and Etel Burszky. The father at first was a teacher in a Catholic school, later he became school principal in Budapest. Here Zoltán went in Esztergom to gimnazy and to seminary.
Study in Rome
He arrived in Rome in 1909. Here became a student of the Pontifical German-Hungarian Institute. The seminarians completed their theological studies in the Gregorian Pontifical University (Gregoriana). He spoke Latin, Italian, German, English and French well, and while he was in Rome he further perfected his Ancient Greek and Latin and knew a little Spanish and Slovak. Finally, he achieved a doctorate in philosophy 1912. At the same time, in 1913, he also gained a diploma in theology at the Gregorian University. He finished his Canon Law studies at the Pontifical Gregorian University and obtained a degree.
Priest and bishop
After his ordination in Innsbruck 28 October 1915 Cardinal János Csernoch (1912–1927), The Primate of Hungary, named Zoltán Meszlényi pastoral assistant in Komárom. Not long after he transferred him to Esztergom to fundamental services.
Zoltán Meszlényi had chronic heart and thyroid problems. However, he was cured during the period between 21 May and 28 June 1937. In that time the Apostolic Nuntiature in Hungary communicated to Cardinal Serédi that the nomination of Zoltán Meszlényi as titular bishop of Sinope and coadjutor of Esztergom had been officially confirmed by Cardinal Domenico Tardini in Rome. The Episcopal ordination took place in the Basilica of Esztergom on 28 October 1937 – his priestly ordination's 22nd anniversary. The ordination was presided by Cardinal Jusztinián Serédi. The new bishop's motto was "fidenter ac fideliter" (With confidence and fidelity).
Zoltán Meszlényi, chapter vicar, took over his office in very difficult circumstances. In the end, barely 12 days after the election, on 29 June 1950, bishop Zoltán Meszlényi was detained.
For a short time was held in the Budapest detention center and then they transferred him to the intern camp at Kistarcsa. Here he was separated from the other prisoners in a room with no windows where freezing temperatures in the winter and scorching temperatures in the summer made the prisoner's life unbearable. The official accusation against his person with all probability was "antidemocratic behavior". From this moment on nobody saw him again.
Death
Public and official hearing never took place. It is miraculous that some information managed to get out from the detention camp. From these bits of information we can construe what type of treatment this Servant of God was subject to, and what could have possibly caused his death. On 4 March 1951 he died.
Beatification
10 March 2004 began the process of beatification.
31 October 2009 was his beatification in Esztergom.
His holiday is 4 March.
