St. Theresa Of Avila Catholic Church is a church parish located in downtown Gonzales, Louisiana, United States. Under its present name, the parish was officially established in 1918.
History
The history of St. Theresa goes back to the 1840s. The only two chapels in the area were in Donaldsonville, Louisiana across the Mississippi River and in St. Gabriel, Louisiana at the St. Gabriel Catholic Church. The settlers had to cross the river or make the long journey on horse or wagon to these churches. It was known that a new church was needed. The new church was built in Cornerview near Gonzales, Louisiana. This church was renamed Sacred Heart at Cornerview. As the town's population grew as the railroad line from Baton Rouge to New Orleans expanded, and River Road and the new Airline Highway cut through Gonzales, a declaration was made to transfer the church from Cornerview to Gonzales. The Cornerview church parishioners signed a protest letter to Archbishop James H. Blenk SM of New Orleans. A new church was then built at the same site near the L and R railroad tracks in downtown Gonzales. It was renamed to St. Theresa upon the request of a benefactor. This church was completely built by parishioners and was thought of as "the ugliest church ever." The parishioners wanted a new church as the steeple was about to fall down. A new church was built in the midst of World War II and is the church that stands today. In 1959 a catholic school was built behind the church building. The school is under the same name as the church. After it’s construction in 1959, the building has been added on to and changed with the additions of a library in 1981, a gym in 1992, and a science and computer lab in 2002. There are also plans to further expand the front office of the school. Another campus was built in Prarieville in 2003. In all, both schools host PK through 8th grade.

The phonology of the Maastrichtian dialect, especially with regards to vowels is quite extensive due to the dialect's tonal nature.

Final clusters of and followed by and, in the case of alone, are all separated by a schwa, adding an extra syllable: → 'apron'. The extra syllable is not shown in the orthography.
Vowels
The vowel phonemes of Maastrichtian Limburgish can be categorized as short lax , short tense , long lax , long tense , diphthongal and the unstressed-only .
The long mid monophthongs are monophthongal when combined with Accent 2. When combined with Accent 1, they are all diphthongal: . The first three are phonological monophthongs , whereas the latter two are phonological diphthongs ).
The open-mid front is diphthongized to in words with Accent 2 when it is a realization of the underlying . The underlying does not participate in tonal distinction, and neither do and .

In this article, the difference between stemming from and the one stemming from is not transcribed.
The open-mid contrast not only with the close-mid (or their diphthongal counterparts, which are very narrow) but also with the open in (near)-minimal pairs such as 'ours' vs. vs. 'choice'.
As in other Limburgish dialects, the phonological open-mid series (the long counterparts of the ) is the long lax series (note than in other dialects, the latter two vowels are usually transcribed with and . Here, and are used instead so that they are strongly distinguished from the monophthongized and in phonetic transcription). is the sole long open vowel as far as the phonology is concerned. are grouped together with in the table for the sake of simplicity and phonetic accuracy ( is the actual phonetic open-mid series).

Phonotactics

The short lax vowels must be followed by a coda. A number of interjections (such as 'yes?') violate this rule.
The short tense as well as the phonological diphthongs are banned before coda .
Before a final , the short lax vowels are rare.
No contrast between the short and exists before nasals, where the vowels can be identified as . Minimal pairs can be found before obstruents and .
Stress and tone
Stress location is the same as in the Standard Dutch cognates. Main stress is regularly on the penultimate syllable. The intonational system is much like that of Standard Dutch and Standard German.
As many other Limburgish dialects, the Maastrichtian dialect features a distinction between Accent 1 and Accent 2, limited to stressed syllables. The former can be analyzed as lexically toneless, whereas the latter as an underlying high tone. Phonetically, syllables with Accent 2 are considerably longer. An example of a minimal pair is 'to rinse' vs. 'to play'. The difference is not marked in the orthography, so that both of those words are spelled .
claims that the difference lies only in length, and that there is no tonal contrast anywhere. However, research shows that there is a crucial difference between words like 'fire' and those like 'bride', as words of the former type have the pitch features typical of Accent 2, whereas the latter do not.
The distribution of the tonal contrast is rather erratic. It occurs in the following contexts:
A short lax vowel followed by a sonorant other than and ;
The tense vowels , unless follows;
The long tense followed by coda ;
The diphthongs .
This means that neither the short tense nor the long lax participate in the tonal contrast, being toneless by default.
The system used in the Mestreechter Taol dictionary
The Mestreechter Taol dictionary uses a very different system to the one used in this article:
The distinction between Accent 1 and Accent 2 is analyzed as a length distinction.
The monophthongization of to is seen as a phonemic split, rather than a simple allophony. As a result, and gain phonemic status as phonemes separate from the phonological open-mid vowels and . No other Limburgish dialect has been reported to feature more than three contrastive degrees of openness among the front rounded vowels (even the Maastrichtian is phonologically open-mid in the analysis adopted in this article, as it directly corresponds to in other dialects).
The remaining are considered to be vowel+glide sequences , dealing away with phonemic diphthongs altogether.
The palatal consonants are analyzed as separate phonemes , rather than the sequences .

Excursions is an album by drummer Paul Murphy and pianist Larry Willis. It was released by Murphy Records in 2008.
Reception
In a review for All About Jazz, Lyn Horton wrote: "This music evokes no largesse, only thoughtfulness and solace. Abstraction is not as much the focus in this music as it is a concise, direct delivery of fluid musical notions that seem to be right at the tips of the fingers of these two musicians... their prowess provides a refreshing approach to create a conversation that shows no pressure to go beyond the pristine limits that the recording provides... the integrity of the entire recording is unquestionable. The desire of the two musicians to keep within the parameters of muted-ness shows through and presents an edge to the playing that qualifies this music as non-explosive. The listener can go no further than the sound allows."
In a separate All About Jazz article, Francis Lo Kee commented: "Murphy's drumming is 'free' but driving in 'jazz time'... The aural hurricane by this excellent pairing of musicians is intense."

Pekel A (also Pekel Aa; ) is a river in the Province of Groningen in the Netherlands. The villages of Oude Pekela and Nieuwe Pekela have been named after the river. The name translates to Brine (Pekel) River (A), and used to flow from the Dollart into a large raised bog. The Dollart was poldered from the 15th century until 1924, and the river now has its source at the confluence with the at . The river was canalised and extended. The part from Oude Pekela to Stadskanaal was renamed . From 1599 until 1810, the area through which the river flowed, was a peat colony. In the 20th century, the Pekel A was a heavily polluted river, but it has been cleaned up since the 1970s.
History
The Dollart is a bay in the Wadden Sea which was gradually expanding in size. Around 1600, it peaked at around . The Pekel A was a brakish river which had its mouth at the Dollart near Winschoterzijl, and flowed into a large raised bog where it ended.
The area around the river was an extensive swamp area with few inhabitants, however it formed a natural border between Groningen, East Frisia and the Prince-Bishopric of Münster, and changed ownership several times throughout its history. In 1316, it was in possession by Münster who demanded a taxation of one chicken per house per year. In 1478, the castle was built near the mouth of the river by Groningen, and was conquered in 1499 by Edzard I of East Frisia. In 1619, it was purchased by Groningen who would remain the owner except for a 1672 invasion by Münster. In 1814, the chicken taxation was finally abolished.
The Dollart was poldered from the 15th century until 1924, and the river now has its mouth at the confluence with the at . The Westerwoldsche Aa forms the border between the Netherlands and Germany.
Peat colony
In the 1590s, the Friesche Compagnie (Frisian Company) was founded to exploit the bog. In 1599, the land around Pekel A was bought and subdivided in 101 lots. The river was canalised and deepened by 1608, and the company started to built houses along the canal for their 500 workers. The exploitation of peat turned out to be profitable, however the city of Groningen decided to ban the shipment of peat, and in 1635, the company was forced to sell 58 out of 101 lots which the city then offered for rent. This was the start of the so-called . A Utrecht-based company who was exploiting the area around Hoogezand was also purchased, and soon the city of Groningen controlled the south-eastern part of the province as a colony.
In 1704, the linear settlement was split into Oude Pekela (Old) and Nieuwe Pekela (New), because a second church was built. In 1877, the Pekel A was extended to Stadskanaal and was no longer a dead end. The part of the river from Oude Pekela to Stadskanaal was later renamed .
In 1801, all towns and villages had to be governed by a municipality, and the peat colony came to an end. The archives up to 1808 are lost, but in 1808, J.T. Klatter was chosen as the President of the District of Oude and Nieuwe Pekela. In 1810, Napoleon annexed the Batavian Republic, and the communes of Oude Pekela and Nieuwe Pekela were established. A mayor was appointed the next year. In 1990, the municipalities merged into Pekela.
Pollution
Oude and Nieuwe Pekela developed into the centre of the cardboard and potato starch industry. The canal became heavily polluted and was known for its stench. During a visit of five Chinese businessmen, a cigarette was thrown into the river as a demonstration, and the river immediately caught fire. The population of Oude Pekela started to demand the closure of the canal.
In 1971, the factories were forced to create water treatment plants before discharing into the canal. The regulation resulted in many factories closing down. The pollution was not limited to the Pekel A, because the southern end of the Dollart had become hypoxic and a dead zone. By 1983, the water had become significant cleaner. A further strengthening of standards in 1991, resulted in the disappearance of the dead zone in the Dollart. The improved ecology resulted increasing numbers of birds and fishes, but worm eating birds like the grey plover and the black-tailed godwit started to migrate from the Dollart.

Nils Gunnar Jerlov was a Swedish oceanographer, physicist, scientist, and researcher who studied how light interacts with water. He was a pioneering scientist in the field of ocean optics, and his water types are used to define the color and characteristics of natural water bodies.
Biography
Nils Jerlov was born October 12, 1909, in Bosjokloster parish in what was then Malmöhus County, Sweden. Nils Jerlov was the son of David Johnson and Hilma Henriksson. He was the nephew of Sigbert and Emil Jerlov.
Jerlov attended the University of Lund, Sweden. He received a Master of Philosophy in Lund in 1932 and graduated with his Ph.D. in 1939. During that time, he became an assistant in the Swedish Hydrographic-Biological Commission in 1935 and worked in a laboratory there. In 1949 he was married to Elwi Galeen (1913–2008), the daughter of German director Henrik Galeen and his Swedish wife Elvira Adler.
Jerlov became an Associate Professor of Oceanography at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden in 1953. He worked at the Swedish Fisheries Board from 1948 to 1958, at the Oceanographic Institute from 1957 to 1961, and managed a laboratory in oceanography in Gothenburg in 1961. In 1963 he was appointed professor of physical oceanography in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Jerlov participated in the Swedish deep-sea Albatross expedition in 1947–1948, a joint Italian-Swedish oceanographic expedition in 1955, Auguste Piccard's diving expedition with the Bathyscaphe deep-sea submersible in the Mediterranean in 1957, and the international oceanographic expedition with RRS Discovery II in 1959. He became a member of the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences in Gothenburg in 1954, a Fellow of International Oceanographic Foundation and Member of Corporation of Bermuda Biological Station in 1958, and Chairman of the Commission on Radiant Energy in the Sea in 1960. Beyond ocean optics, Jerlov also researched nuclear physics, environmental pollution, and the ocean heat budget. He was a knight of the Order of the North Star.
Aboard the Albatross expedition in the 1940s, Jerlov began to observe the variability in the color and light-absorbing properties of ocean waters. He proposed a water mass classification scheme for different water bodies based on their optical properties. After becoming a professor at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark in 1963, he wrote a book called Optical Oceanography (1968), later renamed Marine Optics (1976), a fundamental text to the field of oceanography. He served on the International Association for Physical Oceanography, the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research, the Nordic Committee on Physical Oceanography, and the Danish National Board for Oceanography. Jerlov retired in 1978.
Jerlov died May 29, 1990, in Haga, Gothenburg, Sweden. He is buried in the memorial grove at Kviberg Cemetery in Gothenburg.

Jerlov Water Types
Jerlov is perhaps best known for his classification of water bodies by their color and optical properties into several “water types.” These water types group waters by their light absorption and scattering properties. They range from pure blue ocean waters to darker, greener coastal waters, with “Baltic Sea,” and “Black Sea” representing the darkest, most turbid water types. Jerlov water types are used by researchers in many fields to understand the heat content and transparency of lakes, rivers, estuaries, and oceans. For example, Jerlov water types are a feature of hydrodynamic computer models of the ocean (for example, ROMS) to more accurately simulate how water will absorb heat and light. Dark water bodies absorb more energy than bright blue waters of the open ocean. His water types remain useful for climate modeling and ocean circulation research, among many other applications.
Recognition
In Jerlov's honor, The Oceanography Society presents an award every two years to a prominent researcher in the field of ocean optics. The Jerlov Award is presented at the Ocean Optics conference with support from the NASA and the U.S. Office of Naval Research, with a pin designed by Judith Munk.

Kimiko Burton, formerly Kimiko Burton-Cruz, is an American attorney and government official. Since 2012, Burton has served as a member of the California State Personnel Board. From 2001 to 2003, Burton served as Public Defender of San Francisco.
Early life and education
Burton is the daughter of John Burton, a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives and past chair of the California Democratic Party, and Michele Burton. Both her uncle, Phillip Burton, and her aunt, Sala Burton, served in the U.S. House. Burton's grandmother was a Hawaiian woman of Japanese descent.
Burton graduated from Lowell High School and received her bachelor's degree from the University of California, Davis. Prior to attending law school, Burton studied in Kyoto, Japan at the Kyoto Japanese Language School (Japanese: Kyoto Nihongo Gakko), where she taught both English and French to fellow students. Burton received her Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 1990.
Career
In the 1990s, Burton worked in the San Francisco Public Defender's Office. Burton later left the office to work at the California State Board of Equalization, where she served as counsel to Johan Klehs.
Public Defender of San Francisco
In January 2001, Burton was appointed by Mayor of San Francisco Willie Brown to replace Geoffrey F. Brown as Public Defender, following his appointment to the California Public Utilities Commission. Burton ran for a full term as Public Defender in 2002.
In her campaign, Burton received endorsements from Brown, U.S. Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, and Representative Nancy Pelosi. However, Burton ultimately lost the election to attorney Jeff Adachi, a former assistant public defender.
California State Personnel Board
Following her defeat, Burton remained active in politics, endorsing her former boss Johan Klehs in his 2002 campaign for State Controller. Burton went on to work for Dennis Herrera in the City Attorney's office.
Since 2012, Burton has served as a member of the California State Personnel Board, having received a reappointment to the position in 2019 by Governor Gavin Newsom. In September 2020, Burton and three fellow members of the board requested a 9.23% pay cut for their positions, in line with reduced compensation ordered for state workers earlier in the year.
Personal life
Burton was married to school board member Emilio Cruz. She currently lives with her two children in San Francisco, and serves on the board of directors of the John Burton Foundation for Children Without Homes.

Peninah Nthenya Musyimi (born December, 1978) is a Kenyan lawyer activist, who established the 'Safe Spaces' project, to empower young women who were growing up in the slums of Nairobi. The project draws on her own life experience as the first person from her neighbourhood in the Mathare Valley to graduate from university. In 2011 she was the recipient of Care International's "I am Powerful" award.
Life
Musyimi was born in December 1978 in the area of Nairobi known as Mathare Valley. Her family were poor and lived in a house without a toilet, so she worked for her neighbours for cash payment. Drink, drugs and prostitution are common sights in Mathare Valley, which affect the ability of young people from there to access education.
Nevertheless, Musyimi managed to start primary education, although she had no uniform or shoes, and became a good student. However it was unlikely that she would be able to attend secondary school. Despite setbacks, she did manage to arrange funding, walking to school every day. Musyimi wanted to go on to university, but this was without precedent for a girl from her background, plus her father wanted her to get married.
One route to a university education that was open to Musyimi was the possibility of a scholarship based on ability at basketball. However there were few sports facilities where she lived. There was a basketball court at a church and she persuaded a basketball player there to teach her. She told her trainer that once she had the skills then she could create a team at the church. With intensive training, she passed the basketball trials and obtained a $400 scholarship to attend the University of Nairobi, where she studied Law and Social Science. She was the first woman from the Mathare Valley slum to graduate from university.
After graduation Musyimi trained as a lawyer, but recognised there was further activism that she could undertake. In 2008 she established "Safe Spaces" with funds from Schools without Borders and the Dutch embassy. The aim of the organisation is to increase the confidence and opportunities for girls in Nairobi. The project encourages girls to have ambitions and supplies funding to support secondary and university education. It also teaches girls how to be mechanics. It began with an initial meeting in her home with a small group of teenagers, where they discussed how women were "treated like trash".
Awards and recognition
In 2011 she was given that year's "I am Powerful" award by CARE on the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. She went to Washington to receive the award.
In 2014 she delivered a TEDx talk about her story titled "I am the Change" in Amsterdam. As of February 2022, it has been viewed 10,000 times. In 2019 she was invited to Amsterdam where she spoke about emancipation at the opening of a symposium. She spoke at the Cobra Museum in aid of International Women's Day.

Jean d'Ailleboust or Jean Ailleboust (in Latin Johannes Albosius) was a French doctor and physician. He practiced in Auxerre, then in Sens, before becoming first physician to King Henry III. He died on July 24, 1594. Maximilien de Béthune named him M. Alibour in Sully's Les Œconomies royales. It is also found under the names Daliboux and Dalibourg. François Rousset called him Alibosius and Antoine Portal called him Albosius.
Biography
D'Ailleboust was a son of Pierre d'Ailleboust, ordinary physician to François I, Catholic, Autunois (died 21 August 1531), and Pérette de Séez, his wife. He received a doctorate in medicine at the University of Basel. He was the sixth boy and the seventh child (out of eight). He is the only one, with his sister Françoise, to have embraced the Reformed religion. His first sister Ferrine or Perrine, married Jean de Montrambault, a lawyer in Autun. His brother Jean (the eldest), was a canon of Autun, as well as his other brothers Anatole and Hugues, Charles d'Ailleboust, another brother is bishop of Autun, another André d'Ailleboust, was a merchant of Autun, lord of Collonge-la-Madeleine, married to Odette Rolet, the daughter of the mayor of Autun, Hugues Rolet, the last, Françoise, married Jean Lalemant, Calvinist, doctor in Autun, known for his mathematical works.
Suzanne, who was married twice, the first to Christophe de Bolangiers and the second to Guillaume Duval, squire, lord of Malay-le-Roi and Villechétive ;
Mary, born on January 24, 1575 and who married in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Jean Bedeu, lawyer;
Jean, born around 1576, lawyer in parliament, husband of Marie Conseil.
From 1576 to 1583, he was physician to Duke François d'Alençon (brother of Henry III). He was forced to flee because of his religion and appears in 1586 in a list of Protestant refugees in Montbéliard. In 1590, he became adviser and first doctor to Henri IV (with 3000 pounds tournament wages). In 1592, he is said to have diagnosed infertility resulting from a venereal disease in Henri IV (he was his first surgeon).

Ferdo Ivanek (June 1, 1923 — October 2, 2021) was an American electrical engineer of Yugoslav origin. He is best known for his contributions to microwave oscillators and amplifiers. He is the father of the American actor Željko Ivanek.
Biography
Ferdinand Ivanek was born in Ljubljana, and grew up in the village of Zajezda in Hrvatsko zagorje, and then moved to Varaždin where he completed middle school. Ivanek received his engineer's degree at the Technical High School in Zagreb (today's University of Zagreb) in 1948. During WWII Ferdo’s parents were hung by the fascist Ustaše, while he also lost some 20 Jewish relatives on his mother’s side, in Ustaše and Nazi concentration camps, as recounted in a book by his cousin Paul Schreiner.
Afterwards he moved to Vienna to study electrical engineering, and he received his bachelor's degree and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from TU Wien.
Between 1949 and 1955 Ivanek worked for his scholarship at the Central Radio Institute in Belgrade, then moved to Ljubljana where his family spent another decade. Between 1956 and 1957, he was employed at the University of Ljubljana's Institute for Telecommunications.
At the time in Yugoslavia, he worked in Zagreb, Belgrade, Ljubljana, Split before he moved abroad. In 1959, he came to the United States to work as a research assistant at Stanford University's Microwave Integrated Circuits Laboratory, where he remained until 1962.
He received his doctorate in Vienna in 1964. He later also a obtained a doctorate in Zagreb in 1965. Between 1964 and 1967, when the Ljubljana research institute that specialized in radio equipment design and manufacturing was named the Institute for Automation (later part of the Iskra conglomerate), he was an advisor and a manager of research projects.
In 1967, he returned to the United States to work at Fairchild Semiconductor's Research and Development Division, where he focused on the applications of solid-state microwave devices. In 1986, he left Fairchild to establish Communications Research, a consulting firm. In 1995, he became an adjunct lecturer at Stanford University's Department of Engineering Economics Systems.
Having served as the chairman of IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society's local chapters, Ivanek became the society's 1991 president. He became a fellow member of IEEE in 1993, for "his contributions to the development of fundamental-frequency/microwave oscillators and amplifiers and their application in analog and digital radio relay systems." Ivanek also co-authored and edited the book, Terrestrial Digital Microwave Communications (1989). He was the recipient of IEEE Third Millennium Medal.
Ivanek was married to Vojka Ivanek until her death in 2010; his wife worked at Stanford University as a project manager. Ivanek died on October 2, 2021, and was survived by his sons, Ivan and Željko Ivanek.

Brent Roark Stockwell is an American biochemist. He is a Professor of Biological Sciences and Chemistry at Columbia University. In 2012, Stockwell and Scott Dixon coined the term ferroptosis and described several of its key features.
Early life and education
Stockwell was born in Bay Terrace, New York and attended Hunter College High School. He received his undergraduate degree in chemistry and economics from Cornell University and his Ph.D. in chemistry at Harvard University. While completing his doctorate degree, Stockwell worked in the laboratory of Stuart Schreiber where he spent eighteen months unsuccessfully investigating a molecule that could shut down the protein TGF-beta. He eventually used naturally occurring molecules to block the effects of TGF-beta, resulting in the discovery that synthetic molecules were unlikely to be successful drug candidates. As a result of his research, Stockwell founded CombinatoRx to develop combinations of FDA-approved drugs to fight disease.
Following his PhD, Stockwell was appointed as a Whitehead Fellow at the Whitehead Institute, where he worked on synthetic lethal screens and cell death. In 2003, he developed the first library of biologically annotated compounds and approved drugs to capture the information underlying cellular mechanisms to give scientists greater and more immediate insight into the cell biology.
Career
Upon completing his fellowship, Stockwell joined the faculty at Columbia University as an assistant professor of biological sciences and of chemistry. Early into his tenure at the institution, Stockwell found two new compounds, RSL3 and RSL5, that could kill tumor cells. In order to find drug candidates that could kill selectively tumor cells, Stockwell used cells engineered with a cancer-causing mutation and identical cells lacking the mutation. As a result of his research into undiscovered mechanisms controlling cell death, Stockwell received a 2007 Beckman Young Investigators Award and was named a 2009 Howard Hughes Medical Institute Early Career Scientist. Following this, he was one of six winners of the BioAccelerate NYC Prize to conduct late-stage, "proof-of-concept" research on a new class of drugs to treat cancer in a more selective and non-toxic way.
In 2011, Stockwell published his first book entitled The Quest for the Cure: The Science and Stories Behind the Next Generation of Medicine. Later, using erastin, Stockwell discovered the process of ferroptosis, coined the term ferroptosis, described its key mechanisms, and developed the first chemical probes to control ferroptosis. In 2014, he received one of 10 recipients of the 2014 Lenfest Distinguished Teaching Awards.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Stockwell co-published Lead compounds for the development of SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease inhibitors through the journal Nature Communications. He was also recognized by City & State as one of the inaugural Life Sciences Power 50 amongst scientists, entrepreneurs and investors. Later in November, Stockwell was again listed by Clarivate as one of the Highly Cited Researchers of the Year.

This is a list of cricketers who played for Suffolk cricket teams in first-class cricket matches. Suffolk teams played four matches which have been classified as first-class cricket during the 19th century. A total of 26 men played in the four matches for Suffolk, with just one, Fuller Pilch, playing in all four.
All four of the matches which Suffolk played and which are considered first-class were played against MCC. The first pair of matches took place in 1830, the first in June at Lord's, followed by a re-match at Field Lane at Bury St Edmunds. These were followed by a second pair of first-class matches at the same venues in 1847. Suffolk sides had first played MCC in 1827 and matches had been played against Norfolk sides in 1829. Matches continued to be played against MCC throughout most of the 19th century, but other than the matches in 1830 and 1847 none of these matches have been awarded first-class status. Matches were also played against other teams with first-class status, including the All England Eleven and Cambridge Town Club, and from the 1870s against Essex County Cricket Club.
A formal Suffolk County Cricket Club was established in 1864 and played in the Minor Counties Championship from 1904 until 1914. The club was reformed in 1932 and rejoined the Minor Counties Championship in 1934. The club played List A cricket in domestic competitions between 1966 and 2005. Players who played in these matches are listed separately.

Margaret Sampson (5 June 1906 – 14 August 1988) was an English Anglican nun who was Mother Superior of the Community of the Sisters of the Love of God from 1954 to 1973. She was professed as Sister Margaret Clare in 1932 when was active in the sisterhood of Society of Saint Margaret in East Grinstead before becoming received as Sister Mary Clare of the Precious Blood eleven years later. Sampson set up the SLFG Press that published literature about Christian spirituality to a wider audience in response to the growing eagerness of Christians and non-Christians to learn about Christian mythical tradition.
Early life
On 5 June 1906, Sampson was born at 11 Rawlinson Road, Oxford. She was the daughter of the fellow and later principal of Brasenose College, Oxford, Charles Henry Sampson, and his wife, Margaret Caroline Sophie Bolckow, a member of the Blockow family that laid Middlesbrough's modern foundations with their ironstone works. On 2 July 1906, Sampson was baptised at St Margaret's Church, Oxford and was confirmed on 9 December 1919. She had three elder siblings. After being educated in Felixstowe, she was one of the first home students to attend St Anne's College, Oxford, reading philosophy, politics and economics.
Career
Following her graduating, Sampson immediately went into the active Anglican sisterhood of Society of Saint Margaret in East Grinstead, joining them sometime between 1929 and 1930. On 14 September 1932, she was professed as Sister Margaret Clare. Sampson was an educator at the school and resided at the society's school in Cardiff when The Blitz was occurring. In 1941, she joined the Community of the Sisters of the Love of God, that was based in Oxford after she earned a successful transfer. Sampson was received as Sister Mary Clare of the Precious Blood on 6 August 1943.
She was elected as Mother Superior of the Community of the Sisters of the Love of God on 3 April 1954. Supported by the Community of St. John the Evangelist and working closely with their warden Gilbert Shaw, Sampson began working for life for the Community of the Sisters of the Love of God. Her work was heavily influenced by Shaw; Kenneth Leech of The Independent wrote that the two assisted in the forming of an "understanding and practice of contemplative living in the midst of a world of action." Under Sampson's leadership, she oversaw the opening of the new foundation in Bede House close to Staplehurst, Kent in 1967. Sampson established the SLG Press that published literature concerned with Christian spirituality such as its Fairacres Pamphlets to a wider audience. This was done in response to the growing eagerness of Christians and non-Christians to learn about Christian mythical tradition.
Sampson encouraged and took part in ecumenical dialogue, particularly with the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches, and helped other religious communities seek ways to achieve reconstruction. Church leaders consulted her and she partook in important meetings and conferences. In 1973, Sampson returned as Mother Superior. Eight years later, she published the book Encountering the Depths about her spiritual teachings. Sampson's written records have remained largely unpublished. In it, she stated four needs for contemporary churches: living with eternity, the gift of knowing and interpreting God's actions "in the present crisis of the world", committing to the healing and wholeness of humans and their communities, and recognising the role of the praying community "as the spearhead of the conflict with the powers of darkness."
Death
On 14 August 1988, she died at the Convent of the Incarnation in Fairacres, Oxford. Sampson was buried at Oxford's Rose Hill cemetery four days later.

The Organic Christ Generation is a Swiss-based religious-political group. Founder and leader is Ivo Sasek. Started in 1999 as a radical evangelical congreation, Sasek Sasek increasingly mixed his preaching with esoteric and right-wing content. Today, the group aims to collapse the democratic order, believing only its followers will be saved. Different OGC organizations are managed from Sasek's so called Panorama Center in Walzenhausen in Appenzell (Switzerland).
Ideology
The former car mechanic Sasek built up the group as a congregation of radical Christians with a conservative world view. Over time, he increasingly preached right-wing conspiracy theories. He lets his followers sing mantras, preaches reincarnation. Sasek plays with symbols of an alleged Jewish world conspiracy.Sasek is telling that the current political system must be overthrown. Only OCG is knowing who was evil and who was good. A former cult member said: "we were firmly convinced: Society is broken and Sasek and the OCG are the solution to all problems."
kla.tv
In a network of various camouflaged media in German-speaking countries, the new online chanel Klagemauer.tv is the most important. OGC is producing a range of media content under covert names. kla.tv spreads conspiracy theories as a news program. kla-TV claimed Covid-19 was a laboratory-made bioweapon and that the US billionaire George Soros could be behind it.
Networking
Sasek and OGC founded in 2012 the so-called Anti-Zensur-Koalition (AZK), the political wing of OGC. AZK is organizing various right-wing media outlets in Germany; Austria and Switzerland. A number of well known right wing populist websites are networking in AZK. In 2012 Sylvia Stolz a German Holocaus denier was guest of AZK in Chur, Switzerland.

The 2022 Big South Conference Men's Basketball Tournament will be the postseason men's basketball tournament for the Big South Conference for the 2021–22 season. It will be held from March 2-6, 2022 and all tournament games will be played at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina. This is the first time since the 2016 edition that the tournament will be held at a single neutral site location. The tournament winner receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The defending champions are the Winthrop Eagles.
Seeds
With the addition of North Carolina A&T before the season, the conference increased its membership to 12 teams and split into divisions for the first time since 2013–14. The division winners will be awarded the top two seeds, with the rest of the teams being seeded by record, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records.
The tiebreakers operate in the following order:
Head-to-head record.
Record against the top-ranked conference team not involved in the tie, going down the standings until the tie is broken. For this purpose, teams with the same conference record are considered collectively. If two teams were unbeaten or winless against an opponent but did not play the same number of games against that opponent, the tie is not considered broken.

John McLeod, MD ( – 1820) was a Scottish naval surgeon and author.
Life
John McLeod is said by Joseph Irving to have been born in the parish of Bonhill, Dunbartonshire. The date cannot be verified, for the Bonhill register has been destroyed. As, however, McLeod, after qualifying as a medical practitioner, and serving some time in the navy as a surgeon's mate, was promoted to be surgeon on 5 February 1801, the probability is that he was born five or six years earlier than 1782. During 1801 and 1802 he served as surgeon of different small craft in the Channel, and being left by the peace without employment, half-pay, or any chance of a practice on shore, he accepted an appointment as surgeon of the ship Trusty, Davidson, master, bound from London to the coast of West Africa, in the slave trade, which sailed in January 1803. At Whydah, which he describes as being then esteemed "the Circassia of Africa", on account of the comeliness and jetty blackness of its maidens, he was left in charge of a factory for purchasing slaves, while the Trusty went on to Lagos. Shortly afterwards McLeod learnt from a Liverpool privateer that the European war had broken out again. He immediately sent on word to Lagos. Thereupon, Davidson, assisted by the masters of three or four other English ships at that port, attacked and captured a large French slaver, named the Julie, which had been spoiling their market. The Julie was sent to the West Indies, to be sold for – it was estimated – 30,000l. At Barbados, however, the capture was declared invalid. The ship was condemned as the prize of the Serapis man-of-war, which took possession of her, and when, some little time afterwards, the Trusty arrived, an officer of the vice-admiralty court came off to her, and, putting the broad arrow on her mainmast, arrested the ship and all on board her as pirates. The charge was allowed to drop, and the decision of the Barbados prize-court was subsequently reversed, with the result that McLeod was awarded a part of the prize, which he received in 1820. But at the time, disappointed of his share, and disgusted at being stigmatised as a pirate, he took a passage for Jamaica, where, his leave being expired, Sir John Buckworth, the commander-in-chief, appointed him to the Flying Fish, a small cruiser under the command of an energetic young lieutenant, "and for the next year", he says, "we roamed through each creek and corner of the Caribbean sea, and plundered every enemy of England without the risk of incurring the penalties of piracy".
He was afterwards for two years longer on the Jamaica Station, as surgeon of the Pique frigate, and from 1807 to 1814 was in the Mediterranean, in the Volontaire, with Captain Charles Bullen, in the Tigre with Captain Benjamin Hallowell (afterwards Carew), and in the Warspite with Captain Sir Henry Blackwood. From May to August 1816 he was in the Ville de Paris, the flagship of Lord Keith, in the Channel, and in December 1815 was appointed to the Alceste frigate, then fitting to carry out Lord Amherst as ambassador to China. McLeod continued in her during the whole voyage, in her examination of the northern waters, her visit to Loo-Choo and Canton, and when she was wrecked near Pulo Leat on 18 February 1817, returning from Batavia with the other officers and the ship's company in the hired ship Caesar. On the way home he wrote, and published the same year, the Narrative of a Voyage in His Majesty's late Ship Alceste to the Yellow Sea, along the Coast of Corea, and through its numerous hitherto undiscovered Islands, to the Island of Lew-Chew, with an Account of her Shipwreck in the Straits of Gaspar (1817, 8vo). The second edition, with a somewhat different title, was published in 1818, and a third, again with an altered title-page, in 1819.
On 4 July 1818, on the recommendation of Sir Gilbert Blane and James Wood, MD, the University of St. Andrews conferred on him the degree of MD. In July 1818 he was appointed surgeon of the Royal Sovereign yacht, and in the following year, encouraged by the success of his literary venture, he put together a short and pleasantly written account of his experiences as a slaver, which was published under the title of A Voyage to Africa, with some Account of the Manners and Customs of the Dahomian People (1820, 12mo). McLeod was still surgeon of the Royal Sovereign at his death, 8 November 1820.

On March 18, 1964, Marise Ann Chiverella, a 9-year old American girl, was raped and murdered while on her way to school by 22-year old James Paul Forte in Hazleton, Pennsylvania.
The murder went unsolved for nearly 58 years, until it was announced by authorities in 2022 that the perpetrator had been identified as James Paul Forte using DNA genealogy. It is the oldest case in Pennsylvania to be solved using DNA genealogy.
Murder
On the morning of March 18, 1964, 9-year old Marise Ann Chiverella left home for school, carrying canned goods to give to her teacher, at St. Joseph's Parochial School in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. At some point while Chiverella was walking to school, she was kidnapped by James Paul Forte. Chiverella was raped and murdered by strangulation.
In the afternoon of the same day, a man was giving his 16-year old nephew driving lessons when they encountered what they initially thought was a "large doll" in a coal-mining pit, but soon realized it was Chiverella's body and called police.
Investigation
Despite months of nonstop work, authorities were not able to retrieve any initial leads following the murder.
Decades later, in 2018, the authorities teamed up with Parabon NanoLabs, a DNA technology and genetic genealogy company. The following year, the company shared the DNA profile with genealogical databases.
The authorities began to work with a genealogist and college student, 20-year old Eric Schubert in 2020. DNA from semen on Chiverella's clothing was traced to a sixth cousin of the eventually identified perpetrator of the murder.
2022 update and identification of perpetrator
On on February 12, 2022, authorities announced that the perpetrator had been identified as 22-year old James Paul Forte. With assistance from Schubert and Parabon NanoLabs, DNA tests and genealogical research were able to identify Forte. He lived six or seven blocks from Chiverella, but did not have any known relation to her or her family. An exhumation of Forte's body was approved once he was identified as the prime suspect of the murder.
Perpetrator
James Paul Forte was a bartender and bar supplies salesman from the Hazleton area. He was born in Hazleton and lived in the town his entire life. He was never married and never had any known children. Forte was arrested in 1974 in an unrelated case on charges of involuntary deviant sexual intercourse and sexual assault. Forte was given a plea deal for the less serious conviction of aggravated assault and was sentenced to one year probation. He was arrested again in 1978 on charges of reckless endangerment and harassment. He died in 1980 from a reported heart attack at the bar where he worked at the age of 38.

The Security Bank Building, also known as the Security Building, is a historic commercial building at 101 South Main Avenue in downtown Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It was the first steel-framed office building to be built in the state. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for its architectural design and integrity, as well as for being the site of a bank robbery by the Dillinger Gang in 1934.
History
After the beginning of the 20th century, Sioux Falls began to experience a major economic boom. New shops, hotels, offices, and other businesses—many of which were high-rises—were being established at a rapid pace, especially in the downtown area. Contributing to this boom was the success of the Security National Bank in Sioux Falls, which had been founded on July 8, 1890, as the State Banking & Trust Company. It changed its name on June 11, 1912, to the State Bank & Trust Company. It was incorporated as a national bank on July 28, 1914, and the name again changed to Security National Bank of Sioux Falls.
By the mid-1910s, the bank had outgrown its original headquarters building and began looking to expand. Security National Bank reached out to Chicago-based architectural firm E. Jackson Casse Company, who designed a six-story steel-frame building that would sit on the corner of Main Avenue and Ninth Street. The proposed location was on the site of an old theater building. Security National and two other banks also occupied this intersection, making Main and Ninth the contemporary financial hub of the city. This new building would not only host the bank but also offices for numerous other businesses. The Security Bank Building was constructed between 1915 and 1916. Construction was delayed due to a steel shortage caused by World War I. Its grand opening was held on January 2, 1917. When completed, it became the first steel-framed office building in South Dakota.
In April 1929, the Security National Bank institution was one of several Midwestern banks that merged into the new Northwest Bancorporation of Minneapolis, an organization of 14 banks, 5 of which were in South Dakota. At the time of the merge, the bank's assets totalled just under $6,000,000; as the Northwest Bancorporation, all banks had combined assets totalling $168,000,000. On August 31, 1935, the bank was renamed Northwest Security National Bank.. At this time, the bank also absorbed five smaller banks across South Dakota, which became branch locations: the Brookings County Bank in Brookings, First National Bank & Trust in Chamberlain, First National Bank in Dell Rapids, National Bank of Huron, and Northwestern National Bank of Madison. Northwest Security National Bank of Sioux Falls later absorbed Northwestern Bank of Gregory in 1936, and the First National Bank of Pukwana and the Corn Exchange Savings Bank in 1937.
1934 Dillinger Gang robbery
Around 9:50 A.M. on the morning of March 6, 1934, six members of the Dillinger Gang, armed with Thompson submachine guns, stormed the bank building and robbed it of $46,000. As the green Packard car approached the bank, several employees had remarked that it looked like a holdup car, and one of them pressed the alarm button. Four of the robbers entered the bank, while two remained outside, firing into the air to warn onlookers. Hale Keith, a policeman who had approached to investigate, was spotted through the windows by George "Baby Face" Nelson, who fired on Keith and then shouted, "I got one!". Keith was seriously wounded but survived. Other police officers who arrived were not adequately prepared to face off against the gang and were quickly captured, rounded up, and made to stand facing the wall. A crowd of 30 hostages was forced to surround the gang in a human shield and walk them out to their getaway car. Five bank employees—Leo Olson, Mildred Bostwick, Emma Knabach, Alice Blegen, and Mary Lucas—were kept as hostages and made to stand on the running board of the car to shield the robbers from police gunfire.
The car stopped briefly in front of 211 South Main Avenue, where the gang argued whether or not they should take another car, but they decided against it; they eventually stole two other cars, as their own was by that point too heavily damaged to continue. The gang stopped again on Minnesota Avenue, where Olson was let go and the remaining four hostages were brought into the car. Once the convoy was far outside of town, the remaining hostages were released near Shindler. Despite high tensions and Keith's wounds, no deaths resulted from the robbery. The bank robbers were trailed over several miles by police and airplanes, with several shootouts, but eventually got away. The building itself suffered damage to its windows, door, and exterior from the machine gunfire. None of the stolen money was ever recovered. The gang's crime spree would come to a halt when John Dillinger was gunned down by the FBI in July 1934; whether or not Dillinger himself was actually at the Sioux Falls robbery remains a point of debate. This robbery was portrayed in the 2009 movie Public Enemies.
Architecture
The Security Bank Building is located on the southwest corner of Main Avenue and Ninth Street. It is six stories tall, standing high, and sits on a concrete foundation. Its frame is crafted from structural steel, and the exterior is clad in Bedford limestone. The E. Jackson Casse Company designed it in the Classical Revival architectural style, which is especially evident with the four large Ionic columns in front of the main entrance and the decorative elements on the building's cornice and shed roof. Additions were added to the south side of the building in 1951 and 1957.

Benjamin Franklin Morris II (19 June 1876 - 6 December 1947) was an American coal miner, labor leader, activist, and mayor. From 1906 until 1913, Morris represented coal miners across the United States, and was the principal representative for miners in Paint Creek during the West Virginia Coal Wars. Morris was Secretary of the United Mine Workers of America and on the UMWA's International Executive Board. During his time at UMWA he worked alongside labor rights activist Mother Jones, John Phillip White, John Mitchell, and Thomas Lewis. Morris was appointed in 1911 by West Virginia Governor William E. Glasscock to be a delegate to the American Mining Congress; served as a delegate to the West Virginia Democratic State Convention in 1932–33; and, served 22 years as mayor of the town of Marmet, West Virginia.
Early life
Ben was born to Benjamin Franklin Morris and Julia Alice Arthur in 1876, and was a coal miner at the age of 12 at Peerless Coal Mine in Paint Creek, West Virginia. Ben's father was a coal miner and grew up in the mining camps, and is the great grandson of Leonard Morris. At the age of 23 he married Ella America Price and had 11 children. In 1926, Ella died during pregnancy. His father in law, Wade Price, died in 1908 as a result of a mining accident at Standard Mine, in Paint Creek.
Labor rights
Morris served as Secretary of the Convention for the Bureau of Labor of West Virginia in 1905 and 1906 where he advocated for safer mining regulation, equipment, and proper ventilation. The special convention was to express the desires with reference to mining legislation that was held in Charleston, West Virginia on October 17 and 18.
United Mine Workers of America
On January 2, 1908, Morris was in communication with UMWA Treasurer, and US Congressman William Bauchop Wilson where Wilson sent Morris $1,000 from donated UMWA funds to a newly created Monongah sufferers fund. Morris was in charge of distributing the funds to survivors of the Monongah mining disaster.
On 13 January 1912, Morris was re-elected as member of the International Executive Board.
In April 1912, a strike was conducted partly by the influence of the UMWA at the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek coal mines without violence. On May 10, 1912, coal owners hired the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency to break the strike. The agency sent more than 300 mine guards led by Albert Felts, Lee Felts, and Tony Gaujot. Mother Jones arrived in June 1912, and detailed her experience in a memoir titled AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MOTHER JONES published in 1925. In July 1912, on a Monday, Mother Jones is introduced to Morris as being a member of the UMWA National Board. Morris offers, and provides Jones with a bodyguard that he got from the sheriff after she expresses her intent on marching to Cabin Creek. Morris left Jones, and went directly to Governor William E. Glasscock and told the Governor to "send a company of the militia up to Cabin Creek" before a war sparks between the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency and the armed miners. Glasscock responded by sending the National Guard. Thus ending the Paint Creek–Cabin Creek strike of 1912. During an inquiry by the United State Senate Committee on Education and Labor on September 3, 1913, Morris was referenced as being the employee representative for all miners at Cabin Creek Consolidated Coal Co., Carbon Coal Co., Republic Coal Co., West Virginia Colliery Co., and Wake Forest Mining Co. in contracts between the Union (employees) and the mining company.
In August 1912, the National Guard deployed again due to quelling violence by the Baldwin-Felts Agency that resulted in many miners being beaten. After the National Guard disarmed the Agency men 500 miners quit their job. Subsequently, Morris and UMWA vice president C.C. Griffith created a new union organization with 500 members joining. Griffith and Morris visited the members and created a new district union in Paint Creek.
Indictment
Several months after the Paint-Creek strike, Morris and 17 other executives at the United Mine Workers of America were indicted on four federal charges by the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, those also indicted included: John Phillip White - president of UMWA, and Frank Hayes, - vice president of UMWA for violating the Sherman Act and "conspiracy with restraint to trade and commerce", and "trying to fix the wages" of the mining employees in multiple states. The indictment charged that the persons, in the county of Kanawha and within the jurisdiction of the federal district court engaged in a combination and conspiracy in restraint of trade and commerce among the several states. It is charged that the indicted men have been agents and members of "an unincorporated voluntary organization of individuals and labor unions known as the United Mine Workers of America" and "having many thousands of members unlawfully combined and conspired together with the object and intent of unionizing and making members of said organization, the laborers employed in and around the coal mines in order that and with intent that said organization by regulating the wages to be paid to said laborers for their work could and would fix and control the price at which the coal mined in the state of West Virginia and compete with coal mined in the western part of Pennsylvania and in the state of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois in the markets of the states if the United States outside of West Virginia. Following the indictment, a senate inquiry was opened into the conditions of the Paint Creek Coal Mines. All charges were eventually dropped.
Life
In 1910, Morris was elected as a Member of the Kanawha County Board of Education.
From 1916 to 1931 he was affiliated with the Kanawha Coal Operators Association as Labor Conciliator, Mine Inspector and Assistant Secretary. Ben served as Mayor of Marmet for 22 years. He was listed 1930, and 1940 Kanawha County Census as mayor, and also Deputy Sheriff.
In 1919, Morris served as Assistant Secretary at the newly created Kanawha Coal Operators Association that maintained, inspected, and enforced mining regulations.
On May 28th, 1936, Ben was mentioned in the Congressional Record, 74th Congress of the United States Senate pertaining to “Works Progress Administration in West Virginia”. Ben reflected positively on the administration stating, “the projects have operated satisfactory to the citizens of the town, and in a manner most commendable to the WPA officials.”
In 1937, Morris was challenged by Republican Clyde Buckland for mayor - Morris was running as a Progressive. He subsequently defeated Buckland, and was re-elected for another term in July 1937.
On May 7, 1947, just before his death, Morris was re-nominated for mayor at the State Democratic Convention.

Vlad Batrîncea (born 31 March 1981) is a Moldovan politician who currently serves as vice president of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova. He has been the executive secretary of the Socialist Party of the Republic of Moldavia since 2019 and the de facto leader of the party since January 2022.
Career
Education
Batrincea was registered at the Faculty of History and philosophy of Moldovan State University in 1999. After the first year of studies he was expelled due to overdue and absent hours. He followed his studies at Slavonic University in Moldova, where he took his master's degree in international law.
Batrîncea is also a chess player.
Political career
He was a Member of the Party of Communists of the Republic of Moldova until 2011. In that year he was part of Igor Dodon's group that left the communists, setting up the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova. In PSRM, Batrîncea has been on a rapid rise, becoming a Member of the Republican Committee of the PSRM, a Member of the party's political Executive Committee, and since June 2013 - executive secretary of the party.
In the parliamentary elections of 30 November 2014 in the Republic of Moldova, he ran for the post of deputy from PSRM, being the 7th in the list, and therefore won the mandate of deputy in the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova. Since March 9, 2019, he has been a member, from the PSRM fraction, in the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova. On 9 June 2019, Vlad Batrincea was elected President of the PSRM fraction in the Parliament.
Batrîncea is known for his strong pro-Russian stance, supporting Moldova's accession to the Eurasian Union.
Controversies
On 10 December 2015, in the applause of his fellow party colleagues, Batrîncea destroyed the map of Greater Romania, a gesture in protest against an order of the Ministry of Education through which the map was to be distributed, by donation from an association, as teaching material, in the education system for use in history lessons. The next day, Liberal Deputy Alina Zotea addressed a request to Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, asking him to declare Batrîncea persona non grata and to ban him from entering Romania. Romanian Ambassador to Moldova Marius Lazurca did not consider Batrîncea's move an offense against his country. “A Moldovan politician wanted to demonstratively destroy an object with teaching use. Some of the deputies from Mr Batrîncea's party found it appropriate to applaud this gesture. Along with Mr Batrîncea was the Former Prime-Minister Zinaida Greceanîi, who did not applaude, which I find to be a proof of wisdom and moderation", said the ambassador. In 2018 Batrîncea stated that he did not regret his action, saying it was not an anti-Romanian gesture, but against a non-existing country. In 2021, the unionist deputy Vasile Șoimaru (PAS) gave Batrîncea another map of Greater Romania, saying "I found a destroyed map six years ago. If you allow me, I will return it to the one who may be sorry he did so then. Even if he is not sorry, I give him this map and ask him not to do it again if he wants to remain a colleague with us".

The Tantanoola Caves Conservation Park is a protected area near Tantanoola in the Limestone Coast tourism region in the south-east of South Australia. The conservation park preserves two main caves; the wheelchair accessible Tantanoola Cave which is developed as a show cave and Lake Cave which is a restricted access cave used by the Department for Environment and Water scientists as a reference site for other karst features in the region. Visitors can explore the information centre and learn about the caves during a guided tour.
History
European discovery
The Tantantoola cave, which is located within the boundaries of what is now the conservation park, was first discovered in 1930 by local boy Boyce Lane.
Structure
The Tantanoola cave is located inside Up and Down Rock, an ancient marine cliff towering over the highway. The Miocene bryozoan dolomite which underlies the Gambier limestone of the area was once uplifted along the Tartwaup fault-line. During the Pleistocene the seashore was located right at this dolomite. The sea worked on the rocks and formed a cliff by continually destroying the rocks at the bottom of the cliff with the energy of the waves. This work results in sea caves, overhangs and a cliff face which is always more or less vertical. But then the sea receded, either because the sea level lowered or because the land was uplifted.
Today the cliff is far from the sea, but shells, pebbles and seal bones left behind by the ocean can be found inside Tantanoola Cave, and witness the marine history. The pounding waves of the sea breached entrances to the cave, still, it is a karst cave, not a sea cave. The marine sediments entered first through cracks and solution tubes until a larger breach occurred. The material formed a bar, which blocked the entrance off again. Later the speleothems appeared, covering some of the marine deposits and old entrances.
As Tantanoola Cave is rather small, and only a single chamber, there are no narrow passages. So in 1983, the entrance of the cave was lowered and the steps of the path removed. This made it Australia's first wheelchair access cave.
Visitor attraction
The park is a visitor destination in itself, with picnic grounds and play areas for children. Show cave tours are guided by professional interpreters through Tantanoola Cave, showcasing the numerous decorations on display.

Tongātea (or possibly Tongatea) was a Maori rangatira (chieftain) of Ngāti Ruanui, based at Pātea in southern Taranaki, New Zealand. He probably lived in the early sixteenth century.
Life
Tongātea was the son of Huetaepo and a direct descendant of Turi, the captain of the Aotea canoe. He had a sister, Rua-pū-tahanga, who married Whatihua, the rangatira of the northern part of Tainui, who was based at Kāwhia.
When Rua-pū-tahanga gave birth to her first son, Uenuku-tuhatu, Tongātea set out from Pātea in order to carry out the tohi baptismal ritual, but at Marokopa he met and married a lady of Ngāti Awa, named Manu.
Tongātea established a mauri ika ('fish talisman') at Marokopa, which was believed to be responsible for the annual spawning of kahawai in the Marokopa River, which was still being fished according to traditional rules in 1932.
After a while, Tongātea decided that it would be good to settle at Marokopa permanently, so he planned to return to Taranaki in order to gather a raiding party to seize the place. However, when he told Manu that he was leaving she guessed the reason and told her brothers, who caught him on his way back to Pātea and killed him.
Tongātea was known as a greedy eater, who did not even bother to peel his kumara and karaka before eating them. As a result, when Manu gave birth to his daughter after his death, she was named Peha-nui ('Many peelings'), but other versions give her name as Pēhā-nui. She was the mother of Manu-Tongātea.
Source
Pei Te Hurinui Jones records the story of Tongātea based on an oral account which he heard from Āihe Huirama and Te Nguha Huirama of Ngāti Tamainupō, Ngāti Maniapoto, and Ngāti Te Ata in 1932.

Mike Jones (1941 – 9 January 2022) was a Welsh painter whose work was inspired by the coal miners and working people of South Wales.
Biography
Born in 1941, Jones grew up in the village of Godrergraig, where his father was a coalminer (also running the Bird in Hand pub). When Jones lost an eye at the age of nine, his surgeon suggested he start drawing to help improve his coordination. Though he was encouraged to paint by his headmaster, Jones was discouraged from going to the nearby Swansea School of Art, with his parents preferring him to find a more reliable job.
After becoming friends with painters Josef Herman and Will Roberts, Jones developed an interest in the subject of coalminers. He obsessively filled sketchbooks with drawings of local working people. He became known as an important chronicler of working life in Wales and, in later life, a link to a former industrial life of the area. He was championed by Mary Yapp and her gallery, the Albany Gallery in Cardiff, which held regular solo exhibitions. Examples of Jones' work are held by the National Library of Wales.
Jones' final exhibition was held to mark his 80th birthday, in October 2021 at Tŷ’r Gwrhyd, Pontardawe.
Jones worked from an attic studio at his home in Pontardawe. He died on 9 January 2022, aged 80.

Patricia Ann Reuter-Lorenz is an American psychologist who is the Michael I. Posner Collegiate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Michigan. Reuter-Lorenz is Chair of the School of Psychology and researches the cognitive mechanisms of attention. She was elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Early life and education
Reuter-Lorenz was an undergraduate student at the State University of New York. She moved to the University of Toronto for graduate studies, where she earned a master's degree. Her doctoral research considered the distribution of attention in space and how this was biased contralateral to the activated hemisphere. During her doctorate, she worked as an intern at the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry in Toronto. Reuter-Lorenz spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher at Cornell University before joining Dartmouth College as an assistant professor in research.
Research and career
In 1992, Reuter-Lorenz joined the University of Michigan, where she established the Cognitive and Affective Neuropsychology Laboratory. Her research considers the cognitive and neural mechanisms of attention. Whilst she has served as a visiting researcher at University of Texas at Dallas and Bangor University, she remained at Michigan throughout her academic career. She was made Professor in 2002 and the Michael I. Posner Collegiate Professor in 2016.
Reuter-Lorenz has studied the neural processes of the aging brain. Together with Denise Park, she showed that whilst the brain underwent structural degradation with aging, it simultaneously builds new neural circuitry to accommodate for these changes. This model, known as CRUNCH, explains that loss in one area of the brain is compensated for by gains in others. If this 'scaffolding' starts early, the cognitive decline occurs faster.

Kiln furniture are devices and implements inside furnaces used during the heating of manufactures individual pieces, such as pottery or other ceramic or metal components. Kiln furniture is made of refractory materials, i.e., materials that withstand high temperatures without deformation.
Materials
Commonly used materials are cordierite (up to 1275 °C), mullite (up to 1750 °C), silicon carbide (up to 1500 °C), alumina (up to 1750 °C), zirconia (up to 1650 °C). The choice depends on cost, weight, and physical properties.
Functions and effects
Functions of kiln furniture include carrying the kiln/furnace load and protecting the load from various kind of damage: open file, smoke, debris, from deforming or sticking the components to each other. In addition to various carriers and plates, capsules with heating material may be used.
Kiln furniture influences the heat distribution in the furnace and the interaction of the load with the atmosphere in the furnace. Since the furniture is being heated along with the load, this increases energy consumption hence the operating costs increase. An additional increase of costs comes from wear of the furniture due to thermomechanical and chemical stresses. To decrease heat capacity porous materials or thinner furniture components may be used. However this calls for a trade-off with load-bearing capacity and stress resistance.
Types of kiln furniture
A saggar (also misspelled as sagger or segger) is a ceramic boxlike container used in the firing of pottery to enclose or protect ware being fired inside a kiln. Saggars have been used to protect, or safeguard, ware from open flame, smoke, gases and kiln debris. Traditionally, saggars were made primarily from fireclay. Modern saggars are made of alumina ceramic, cordierite ceramic, mullite ceramic silicon carbide and in special cases from zirconia.
A pernette or stilt is a prop to support pottery in a kiln so that pottery does not touch each other or kiln's floor. In archaeology, they may be upside-down baked clay tripods, leaving characteristic marks at the bottoms of the pottery/porcelain. They expose the bottom of the fired piece to the full heat.
Other types of furniture and furniture systems include kiln cars, kiln shelves, batts, tiles, and plates; tubes and beams; props and fittings, profile setters, rollers, stools; T-cranks, Y-cranks, pin cranks. The design of kiln furniture system depends of the wares manufactured: structural clay products, dinnerware, tiles, electronics ceramics, sanitaryware, electrical porcelain, etc.

On February 21, 2022, Russia recognized the independence of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), becoming the first recognized state to do so. Documents issued by the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics have been valid in Russia since 2017. This allowed residents to work, travel, or study in Russia.
Relations between the DPR and Russia have generally been close. Ukraine has accused Russia of aiding the DPR and the Luhansk People's Republic in their wars with Ukraine; Russia has denied this. Russia has issued 600,000 passports to residents of the republics since 2019. Ukraine also claims that Russia pays pensions for residents of the republics (Ukraine stopped paying after 2014).

Michael Angelo Hayes, (1820 – 1877) was an Irish watercolourist who specialised in painting horses and military subjects.
Life
Michael Angelo Hayes was born in Waterford on 25 July 1820, the son of Edward Hayes, a clever painter of portraits and miniatures, who also possessed some skill as a landscape-painter. Trained by his father, Hayes first exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy's exhibition in Dublin in 1840, sending The Deserter. He quickly gained a reputation for military subjects and others, in which horses took a prominent part, such as The Race for the Corinthian Cup at Punchestown, and Charge of the 3rd Light Dragoons at Moodkee. Large ceremonial subjects, like The Installation of the Prince of Wales as a Knight of St. Patrick in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, also occupied him. He obtained a prize from the Irish Art Union for a set of drawings illustrating the ballad of Savourneen Deelish. Hayes was in 1854 elected a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy, and in March 1856 was appointed secretary. In spite of an unfortunate schism in the academy, Hayes retained the secretaryship, and published a pamphlet (Dublin, 1857) defending his position. Hayes was elected an associate member of the New Society of Water-colours in London, and was a regular contributor to their exhibitions. He was much respected in Dublin, and served the office of Dublin City Marshal. On 31 December 1877 he was accidentally drowned by falling into a tank on the top of his house at 4 Salem Place, Dublin. A picture by him of Sackville Street, Dublin, Twenty-five Years Ago was at the Irish Exhibition in London, 1888. Another picture, Wayside Country, was engraved by the National Art Union.

Conzett & Huber was a Swiss publishing house known for the magazines Du and Zürcher Illustrated. In 1908, Verena Conzett made the decision to expand her small print shop into the magazine publisher Conzett & Cie (Conzett & Co.), with lawyer Emil Huber as a "silent shareholder". Huber took over operational management of the company in 1918. By 1929, the company was known as Conzett & Huber.
In 1944, Walther Meier founded Manesse Verlag at Conzett & Huber, which sold it to Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt in 1983. In 1994, the Conzett + Huber AG merged with the Alfred Walter AG to create the Conzett + Walter AG.
Early history
The origins of Conzett & Huber can be traced to a small print shop belonging to Conrad Conzett, an early leader in the Swiss labor movement. In 1898, Verena Conzett, a leader in the labor movement in her own right, took over the heavily indebted print shop following his suicide. In 1908, she established Conzett & Co. as a magazine publisher, with support from lawyer Emil Huber as a silent shareholder. The political ideals of the Conzett family continued to influence the business well into the post-World War II period. Its early publications included Schweizerische Lehrerzeitung (SLZ), the official newspaper of the Swiss Teachers' Union (1891–1927), as well as the annual report of the Swiss Workers' Union (from 1887).
Verena Conzett founded the magazine In Freien Stunden, which was inspired by its namesake in Berlin. Subscribers to In Freien Stunden also received insurance against accidents. The weekly magazine was published until 1967. Between 1926 and 1955, Conzett & Huber published the literary magazine New Swiss Review. After the end of World War I, sales surged and the company reinvested their revenues in a new printing technology. In order to make a better use of the technology, it founded a third newspaper called the Zürcher Illustrated (German:Zürcher Illustrierte) in 1925.
Zürcher Illustrated
In 1925 the Zürcher Illustrated was established under the lead of Emil Huber Frey, which by 1926 had a circulation of 50'000. The amount of printed pages arose from eight to twenty-four until 1928.The publisher Paul Ringier, had dominated the Swiss market with four illustrated newspapers attempted to counter the upcoming competition to his newspaper with the New Illustrated on Mondays (NIM) . This wasn't profitable at all, and by 1929 Ringier changed its name into Sie + Er (She + Him). In 1929, Arnold Kübler became the Editor-in-Chief of the ZI, who shaped it into a magazine with a focus on illustrated photo-stories and employed prominent photographers like Annemarie Schwarzenbach, Gotthard Schuh or Paul Senn. He attempted to rely less on reports on daily news and sportive events as before and included a literary section in which texts by authors like Max Frisch, Albin Zollinger, Friedrich Glauser or Hermann Hesse were published. The reforms led to a considerable surge in the circulation which arose to 71'000 by 1931 and to over 83'000 in 1933. The circulation came at a considerable financial cost, which Huber and later also his successor and nephew Alfred A. Herzer were not willing to pay anymore and after the circulation diminished, the environment for the different illustrated magazines became more competitive amid World War II, Paul Ringier and Conzett & Huber came to an agreement according to which Ringier would buy the ZI for 1.1. Mio. CHF, but subsequently shut it down.
Du
After the closure of the ZI, Conzett & Huber would establish a new magazine, initially mainly aimed at promoting its printing technique which they had developed in its factory. Its first editor in chief would also be Arnold Kübler, who chose Du as the magazines name. The magazine became known for its photo-reportages by prominent photographers like Henri Cartier Bresson, Rene Burri or Werner Bischof. Several thousand colored and black and white photographs of the Du were included in the German Marburg Picture Index in 1976, the year the Marburger institution bought the photographs for 25'000 DM.
Manesse
In 1944 the Manesse Verlag was established, which began to publish the Manesse library of world literature. Its name stems from the medieval Codex Manesse. The publishing house focused on classical works like Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. By 1955, one hundred classics were published. In 1983 Conzett & Huber decided to sell Manesse to the .

Nursery Boys Go Ahead, also stylized as !Nursery Boys Go Ahead!, is an album by the Kenyan band Abana Ba Nasery. It was released in 1992. The band, a trio, traditionally produced its sound with just their voices, acoustic guitars, and a Fanta bottle. The album is considered to be Luhya pop and folk music.
Production
The album was produced by staff at Globe Style. It was recorded while the band was touring Great Britain, in 1991. Members of 3 Mustaphas 3 and the Oyster Band contributed to the album. Ron Kavana played on "Esimiti Khusilenje".
Critical reception
The Boston Globe determined Nursery Boys Go Ahead to be one of the best albums of 1992, labeling the band a "surprising guitar-and-Fanta-bottle ensemble." Robert Christgau praised "Esiesi Siolle" and "Elira Yesu Ndayanza".
The Edmonton Journal called the album "delightful," and noted the addition of "strings, trumpets, pipes and percussion" to the band's traditional instrumentation. The Chicago Sun-Times wrote that "the guitars are lilting, the harmonies are rich and resplendent ... when bouzoukis, tenor banjo and uillean pipes are added to the mix, 'Esimiti Khusilenje' takes on the rhythm of a country-Irish hoedown, albeit in a Kenyan setting."
AllMusic opined that "if all worldbeat attempts at fusion came off like this, we'd be living in a perfect world." MusicHound World: The Essential Album Guide considered the album "another low-key masterpiece," writing that "the main attraction remains the amazing fretwork of [Shem] Tube and [Justo] Omufila."

Leasure K. Darbaker (January 13, 1879, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-February 6, 1949) was a bacteriologist and Professor of Pharmacognosy and Bacteriology at the Pittsburgh College of Pharmacy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Darbaker served as Chair of Bacteriology of the Pittsburgh College of Pharmacy, as President of the Pittsburgh chapter of the American Pharmaceutical Association and President of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science from 1937-1938. Known for his work as an educator, his published books include A manual of microscopy (1920), A manual of histological pharmacognosy and bacteriology (1921), and works on the medical uses of Western Pennsylvania plants. In his will, he established the Darbaker Prizes through the Pennsylvania Academy of Science and the Botanical Society of America.
Early life and education
Leasure Kline Darbaker was born January 13, 1879 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the Rev. Dr. Henry David Darbaker and Agnes Jane (Kline) Darbaker.
He attended public schools in McKeesport and Emlenton, Pennsylvania. He attended university at Grove City College and Ohio Northern University, receiving a degree in pharmacy from Ohio Northern in 1900. Darbaker apprenticed in pharmacy in 1900 with H. R. Gilmore in Emlenton, Pennsylvania.
Darbaker then attended the Pittsburgh College of Pharmacy (later the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy), receiving a Graduate of Pharmacy degree (Ph. G.) in 1906 and a Doctor of Pharmacy degree (PharmD) in 1909. He did post doctorate work in England and Germany in 1909.
In 1937 Darbaker received an honorary Doctor of Science (Sc.D.) degree from Ohio Northern University.
Career
In 1907 Darbaker became an assistant instructor to William J. McAdams, a professor at Pittsburgh College of Pharmacy. He succeeded McAdams as Professor of Pharmacognosy and Bacteriology following McAdams' death in 1910. Darbaker taught at the College until his retirement in 1946, then becoming Professor Emeritus.
As a pharmacognosist Darbaker studied medical and poisonous substances derived from natural sources, particularly the plants of Western Pennsylvania, for their potential pharmaceutical use. In December 1927, Darbaker proposed the development of a medicinal plant garden which was subsequently created in Schenley Park. As of 1947, the garden became the responsibility of the Hilltop Garden Club of Pittsburgh.
Darbaker was a member of the College Corporation from 1909 to 1948. The College Corporation was the governing body of the Pittsburgh College of Pharmacy, formally incorporated in 1878 "for the purpose of cultivating, improving and disseminating the Knowledge of Pharmacy".
Darbaker was active in a variety of scientific associations, including the
American Association for Advancement of Science,
American Pharmaceutical Association,
American Public Health Association,
American Society of Bacteriologists,
American Society of Plant Physiologists,
the American Malacological Union (now Society),
and the Botanical Society of Western Pennsylvania.
Darbaker was a founding member of the Pittsburgh Graduate Chapter of Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity, which was organized on June 19, 1935, and as Grand Historian of the Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity from 1924 to 1937.
He served as Chairman of the Plant Science Seminar (later the American Society of Pharmacognosy) in 1937; President of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science from 1937-1938; and President of the Pittsburgh chapter of the American Pharmaceutical Association (1919-1920). As President, Barbaker encouraged the expansion of the association and the recognition of pharmacy as a profession. In 1920, the Pittsburgh chapter formally stated that it was "opposed to any regulation or legislation which does not give the same full recognition to Pharmacy that is accorded to any other necessary profession or technical branch or division of the United States army."
Contributions to education
In addition to early 40 years of teaching, Darbaker served as Chair of Bacteriology of the Pittsburgh College of Pharmacy. His ideas about the education of university students are described by Edward P. Claus as embodying the teaching plan of the College. Classes were organized so that they built upon each other, with students performing practical laboratory work. In both botany and zoology, students began by studying familiar specimens, to build upon existing knowledge and develop confidence, rather than following a taxonomical organization from lower forms to higher ones. Microscopy was introduced in the second year, and bacteriology only in the senior year.
Laboratory and field work were supplemented with a variety of lectures and demonstrations, including the use of technologies such as lantern slides and motion pictures, to make instruction "interesting, instructive and enjoyable".
Described as an "inveterate collector", Darbaker used displays of plant and animal specimens from his own collections for classes and presentations.
Darbaker was an avid photographer, developing his own slides and using his slides and movies in classes and in presentations to scholarly societies.
Darbaker wrote several texts and other books including A manual of microscopy (1920) and A manual of histological pharmacognosy and bacteriology (1921). Following the death of Henry Kraemer in 1924, Darbaker became a co-editor of the 1928 edition of Kraemer's Scientific and Applied Pharmacognosy, reviewed as "a credit to the American leaders in pharmacognosy".

Pietro de Bono (Petrus de Bono, C.R.) (died 20 November 1187) was a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He was a native of Verona in Lombardy, signing his name at least once as D. Petri de Verona. He was not from Pisa, nor was he from Bologna. He belonged to the Canons Regular of S. Maria di Reno in Bologna.
Alexander III
He was named a cardinal by Pope Alexander III in the Lenten Ember Days of 1166, and assigned the deaconry of Santa Maria in Aquiro in Rome.
At Anagni, on 8 April 1173, Cardinal Petrus of S. Maria in Aquiro subscribed a bull in favor of Abbot Giraldus of S. Maria de Belloloco; and on 8 June for Abbot Geminianus of S. Pietro in Modena.
On 21 September 1173, at Anagni, he was promoted cardinal priest of the titular church of Santa Susanna. He subscribed a papal bull as Petrus of S. Susanna on 28 September. Ciaconius-Olduin states that after Petrus was made a cardinal deacon, and then cardinal priest, he was sent on a legation with Cardinal Manfred of S. Georgio ad velabrum to King William I of Sicily, to beg him to bring military aid to the pope agains the emperor. Kartusch, however, citing only Ciaconius-Olduin, sends Petrus and Manfred to Scotland to King William the Lion, "before 1177".
On 4 March 1174, again at Anagni, he subscribed a bull of Alexander III for Archbishop Alfano of Capua. On 29 May 1176, he and Cardinal Rainerius of S. Giorgio ad velum aureum were procurators for Pope ALexander in a private lawsuit seeking to recover money.
Cardinal Petrus of Santa Susanna was in Anagni on 20 April 1176, where he signed a bull of Pope Alexander in favor of the Vallombrosian monastery. On 30 April, he subscribed again for the monastery of S. Maria de Florentia.
He subscribed again on 22 June, 7 July, 2 September, 15 November, and on 31 December 1176. In January 1177 the papal court was on the move, to Benevento, Siponto, and Foggia. In Foggia, Cardinal Petrus subscribed a bull at the end of January.
Cardinal Petrus de Bono was with the papal court in Venice from March to October 1177. The papal entourage paid a visit to Ferrara from 10 April to 9 May 1177. On 27 April he subscribed a bull in Ferrara. Cardinal Petrus was one of the seven cardinals appointed by Pope Alexander III in April to negotiate a peace between Frederick Barbarossa and the Papacy. In Venice, he subscribed a bull on 6 August 1177, and on 6 September 1177.
Lucius III
Cardinal Petrus de Bono signed documents for Pope Lucius from 28 September 1181 to 13 May 1184 (at Veroli). He was not one of the ten cardinals who accompanied Lucius III on his journey to Verona in June 1184, to seek imperial aid in the war between Tusculum and the Roman commune. He does not subscribe at all for him from 13 May 1184 until Lucius' death in Verona on 25 November 1185.
Urban III
The election of Lucius' successor was held on the next day. It was brief and unanimous. The successful candidate was Humbertus Crivelli, the Archbishop of Milan and Cardinal of S. Lorenzo in Damaso, " a violent and unyielding spirit, and a strong opponent of Frederick (Barbarossa)," in the words of Ferdinand Gregorovius. He took the name Urban III, and maintained all of the uncompromising policies of Lucius III. He and the papal court continued as virtual prisoners in Verona. There is no indication that Cardinal Pietro de Bono took part in Urban's election, despite the assurances of Lorenzo Cardella that he did. His earliest subscription for Urban III took place on 13 May 1186, six months after the papal election. Shortly after 22 September 1187, Urban and the cardinals escaped from Verona, and by 3 October had found refuge in Ferrara, where Urban died on 20 October.
Gregory VIII
On the day following the death of Urban III, thirteen cardinals who had been present in Ferrara began the proceedings to elect his successor. The old papal chancellor Alberto di Morra was unanimously elected pope on 21 October 1187, and took the name Gregory VIII. It is likely, though there is no positive evidence, that Petrus de Bono was one of the electors.
Cardinal Petrus subscribed bulls for Pope Gregory VIII at Ferrara on 31 October 1187.
Cardinal Pietro died on 20 November 1187, by which date the papal entourage had moved from Ferrara to Bologna. Lorenzo Cardella reports, on the authority of Giovanni Nicolò Alidosi Pasquali, that he was buried at the monastery of S. Maria de Reno in Bologna, which is not unlikely.

Lasiopetalum fitzgibbonii is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, spreading shrub with hairy stems, needle-shaped leaves and blue, purple or pink flowers.
Description
Lasiopetalum fitzgibbonii is an erect, spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of and has hairy stems. The leaves are needle-shaped, long and wide, the lower surface covered with star-shaped hairs. The flowers are borne on hairy pedicels long with hairy bracteoles long at the base of the sepals. The sepals are long, blue, purple or pink and hairy on the back, and the petals are reduced to small scales or lobes at the base of the ovary. There are five stamens with filaments long and the style is long. Flowering occurs from September to November.
Taxonomy
Lasiopetalum fitzgibbonii was first formally described in 1882 by Ferdinand von Mueller in the journal Southern Science Record from specimens collected by George Maxwell "in the back-scrubs of the country at King George's Sound". The specific epithet (fitzgibbonii) honours Edmund Gerald FitzGibbon who "invariably exercised his extensive influence in also promoting scientific objects in our midst."
Distribution and habitat
This lasiopetalum grows on undulating plains and hills in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains and Mallee biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.
Conservation status
Lasiopetalum fitzgibbonii is listed as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.

Antipterna euanthes is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae, first described by Edward Meyrick in 1885 as Ocystola euanthes, with the female lectotype being found in the Wirrabara Forest, South Australia. It appears to be a moth endemic to Australia and in addition to South Australia is also found in Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland.
The larvae of this moth feed on leaves of eucalypts, and fold the leaf tips to make a shelter in which to develop.

Manu-Tongātea (also known as Mātotoru) was a Maori rangatira (chieftain) of Ngāti Ruanui and Mātaatua descent, who was probably based at Marokopa in Waikato, New Zealand and led a military expedition to the Bay of Plenty area, in around the late sixteenth century.
Background
Manu-Tongātea's mother was a lady of Marokopa called Peha-nui or Pēhā-nui, who was the daughter of Tongātea of Ngāti Ruanui, a descendant of Turi, the captain of the Aotea canoe, and a local lady called Manu. His father was Kai-ahi, from the Whakatāne area, a direct descendant of Toroa, who captained the Mātaatua canoe. Kai-ahi met Peha when travelling with a group and had relations with her before returning to Whakatane, telling her that he would return later.
After Kai-ahi left, Peha-nui gave birth to Manu-Tongātea, whose full name was Te-Tehe-o-Manu-Tongātea ('the circumcised penis of Manu-Tongātea'), referring to the fact that his grandfather had been circumcised.
Kai-ahi's attack on Marokopa
After a few years, Kai-ahi returned, leading a raiding party. The locals fled, but Manu-Tongātea, now a young boy, was caught and tied up in a kete basket in order to be eaten in the morning. During the night, he cried out "Manu-Tongātea's skin is chilled by the wind. Peha-nui of Manu, Peha-nui of Kai-ahi," and Kai-ahi realised who he was, released him, and promised that he would get vengeance in the future.
Expedition to Rotoiti
When Manu-Tongātea was an adult, his mother told him that he could find Kai-ahi's homeland in the east and he raised a war party to go in search of him. When the party arrived at Lake Rotoiti, they found a village that had been attacked by Kai-ahi and the local chief married his daughter Wawara to Manu-Tongātea, although she was already engaged to another man.
Pei Te Hurinui Jones records a mournful waiata which Wawara sang about the arranged marriage, in which she weeps for the loss of her betrothed, describes her new husband as a 'shadow', and concludes:
After the marriage, Manu-Tongātea's party sacked two villages, but when the war party reached Kai-ahi's village, Manu-Tongātea called the war-party to a halt, walked up to Kai-ahi and made peace with him.
Family
Manu-Tongātea and Wawara had two sons:
Kōkako, named for the Kōkako birds eaten by Manu-Tongātea's war-party on their journey to Rotoiti.
Te Matau.
Sources and variants
The story of Manu-Tongātea is recorded by Pei Te Hurinui Jones based on an oral account which he heard from Te Nguha Huirama of Ngāti Tamainu-pō, Ngāti Maniapoto, and Ngāti Te Ata on 24 May 1932. The same story is reported by John White The Ancient History of the Maori. IV: Tainui (1888), but he gives Manu-Tongātea's father as Peha, son of Kai-ahi, and his mother as Peho and in this version Manu-Tongātea is captured and tied up when he goes to visit his father at Whakatane. In a version told to Bruce Biggs by Elsie Turnbull, Manu-Tongātea is instead a man of Maungatautari, who committed adultery with a lady of Marokopa and was tied to a wooden pole, but was released as a result of his cries and left a kokako-feather cloak for his unborn son, who was therefore named Kōkako.

The National Socialist Irish Workers Party (NSIWP) was a minor neo-nazi party in the Republic of Ireland, founded in 1968.
History
The NSIWP was founded in 1968 by Terence Allan-Byrne, a decorator who lived with his mother in Irishtown, Dublin. Among its members was Jos Mussche, a former member of the Dutch SS. Its newsletter was called Phoenix. The party had close links to the National Socialist British Workers Party, and was affiliated to the World Union of National Socialists.
In 1979, Byrne had a swastika carved into his chest; he refused to allow an Indian doctor treat it and was referred to another hospital, where a different doctor refused to treat him and ‘remarked that the wounds he was receiving were costing the tax-payers a lot of money’.
The NSIWP only ever had a handful of members and never contested any elections; however, it was important in producing of Nazi paraphernalia for the European and British movement, as, unlike most European countries, the Republic of Ireland had no law like the British Race Relations Acts that forbad production or sale of neo-Nazi material. They also sent threatening letters to Irish Jews and Black people living in Ireland. Tomás Mac Giolla (Workers Party, a socialist party), Tony Gregory (an independent left-wing TD) and Alan Shatter (a Jewish Fine Gael TD) raised the matter in Dáil Eireann in 1985; the Prohibition of Incitement To Hatred Act, 1989 made the production of such items illegal.
Republican socialists and other anti-fascists occasionally fought with NSIWP members. "Commander" Byrne died in the early 1980s, and the party ceased to exist by the late 1980s. Colm Tarrant, secretary of the NSIWP, later went on to work with the Irish–Arab Society, an anti-Israel organisation.

Alta Motors was an American manufacturer of off-road and dual-sport electric motorcycles based in Brisbane, California.
History
Derek Dorresteyn, whose family has a long presence on the San Francisco motorcycle scene, started working on a bespoke electric bike in 2007. He partnered with industrial designer Jeff Sand and entrepreneur Marc Fenigstein to found BRD Motorcycles in 2010. The acronym's meaning was only known to the founders and never disclosed.
In 2011, Alta hired Viktor Pritzker, a former Director of Sales at Vectrix. In 2013, Tesla co-founder Martin Eberhard joined the company's advisory board.
After securing additional investors, BRD changed its name to the more evocative Alta Motors, a reference to its home region of Alta California—or North California.
In March 2018, Alta Motors announced a partnership with Harley-Davidson for the development of future models of electric motorbikes. However, H-D walked out of the deal six months later, opting instead to set up its own research and development unit in the Silicon Valley.
Following Harley-Davidson's divestment, the company was reported to be in negotiations with Canada's Bombardier Recreational Products for an injection of cash, but this did not happen and Alta Motors went out of business in late 2018. BRP later did acquire some of Alta's technological assets from its creditors.
Products
Redshift MX (motocross, base model)
Redshift MXR (motocross, premium model)
Redshift EX (enduro, base model)
Redshift EXR (enduro, premium model)
Redshift SM (supermoto)
A projected Redshift SMR model was registered with the NHTSA, but there is no evidence that it reached the market.
The Redshift platform is the basis for the SilentHawk stealth dirtbike developed by military contractor Logos Technologies of Fairfax, Virginia.
In 2017, the company also unveiled a prototype called the Redshift ST (for Street Tracker), which was pitched as a hybrid urban and flat track speedway machine.
Racing
Due to debates regarding the equivalency between electric and combustion engines, Alta faced an uphill battle obtaining sanction to race in a major series, but the brand's products still showed up at a few established events.
The Redshift MX made its professional debut in the Lites class of the 2016 Red Bull Straight Rhythm off-season tournament, advancing to the second round. It returned in 2017, but was eliminated in the first round. On both occasions, the bike was ridden by Josh Hill.
Also in 2017, Alta announced that it would feature in the SX2 class at a pair of SX Tour events, the Geneva Supercross and the Paris-Nanterre Supercross, thanks to an exemption granted by the tour's sanctioning body, the Fédération française de motocyclisme. However, equipment shipping issues limited its participation to the Geneva Supercross' Duel Cup, a side attraction consisting of four riders competing in best-of-three, one-on-one playoffs. Hill won the second night, beating event spokesman Ricky Carmichael (Suzuki RM-Z450) in the final.
Alta made its AMA EnduroCross Championship debut in Round 4 of the 2016 season with Veteran class rider Kurt Nicoll. Nicoll won the event in his class.
In 2018, the company upped its efforts, signing Ty Tremaine as a regular entrant in the Pro class. His third-place finish in Round 3 was credited as the first podium placing by an all-electric bike in an AMA-sanctioned professional series. However Alta Motors folded partway into the season, and Tremaine finished his campaign with Beta.Tremaine, alongside Lyndon Poskitt, also took part in the 2018 Erzberg Rodeo hard enduro for Alta.
