Land Tax Reform (Japan 1873)
The Japanese Land Tax Reform of 1873, or was started by the Meiji Government in 1873, or the 6th year of the Meiji period. It was a major restructuring of the previous land taxation system, and established the right of private land ownership in Japan for the first time.

Land Tax Reform (Japan 1873)
The land taxation system was first established during the Taika Reform in 645 along with the adoption of the Chinese judicial system known as the . The previous system was an imitation of the Tang dynasty's corvée taxation system, known as the . Taxes were paid in the form of rice and other crops under this system, and the tax rates were determined through the land survey created by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. A proportionate annual tax was assessed according to the yield of a given plot of land. The principal farmer's name was registered in the land survey, and that farmer would be held accountable for the land tax. The payment could also be held as part of the village's collective responsibility under the .

Land Tax Reform (Japan 1873)
The government initially ordered individual farmers to measure the plots of their land themselves, calculate their taxes, and submit the results to local tax officials. However, difficulties arose with the honesty of the measuring system when the 1874 budget showed that collected taxes fell far below projected values.

Land Tax Reform (Japan 1873)
The government responded by establishing a land tax reform department in 1875, and began aggressive efforts to install the system. Under the direction of the new department, each prefecture was assigned a set amount of taxes it was required to collect. The department forcefully changed land values to meet the set amount if values reported by farmers did not meet projected values. This caused widespread resentment among farmers, and several large-scale riots erupted around the country. In January 1877, the government lowered the tax rate from 3% to 2.5% in an effort to regain support for the land tax.

The department's aggressive system continued through 1878, but the strictness of rules gradually decreased as it became clear that required amounts would be met. The reforms had taken complete effect by 1880, seven years after the start of the reforms.

As mentioned earlier, taxes were paid in rice and crops until the end of the Edo period, and the cultivator was held as the taxpayer under the previous system. Taxation was also inconsistent, as values differed in certain regions of the country. The new land tax created a uniform system which taxed landowners based on the worth of their land, and were paid in cash instead of crops.

The government could be assured of a steady income because the tax was set at a constant rate against the value of the land, and revenue did not fluctuate with crop yields since tax income became independent of crop fluctuation. Essentially, the risks of crop fluctuation were pushed from the government to the farmer.

Land Tax Reform (Japan 1873)
Private land ownership was recognized for the first time in Japan with the issuing of land titles. The previous practice of land ownership was the , which stated that all land was under the sole ownership of the emperor, such that individual farmers were merely borrowing the land from feudal lords, who in turn were borrowing the land from the emperor. The reform abolished this archaic system of land ownership, and began to allow landowners to use their property as a financial asset in collateral or other investment. This law was one of the first steps towards the development of capitalism in Japan, paralleling the English (and later United Kingdom) statute Quia Emptores enacted several centuries earlier.

The previous feudal contract system became obsolete because the landowner was the one held responsible for taxes, and gave landowners the right to participate in politics. Later when the Imperial Diet was established, many of those given the right to vote in the lower house belonged to this landowning class.

In the previous system, rice and crops collected from each fiefdom were sold and distributed by wholesale dealers via daimyō storehouses in Edo or Osaka. The reform allowed farmers to sell their crops for cash directly to local merchants, and had a large effect on Japanese commerce.

began to be recorded in a registry as a result of the land surveys implemented by the land tax reform. These land bonds created a system of verifiable land ownership, indicated the person responsible for taxes, and established buying and selling rights, allowing real estate commerce and credit to become dependent on these bonds.

The land bond registry was dissolved in 1889 after its duties were handed over to the land register department in 1884. Payment of taxes was managed solely by this new department until 1961. All addresses, zoning classifications, and acreage information were transferred to the land register department, so it can be said that current Japanese land ownership records are directly traceable to the land tax reform.

However, details in the registry were not always accurate because of the primitive surveying techniques used by farmers at the start of the reform. This was both due to time and personnel limitation, and deliberate tax evasion attempts, ( and ) resulting in inaccuracies in the modern registry. The is currently underway to create an accurate registry for all of Japan.

Spinoclosterium
Spinoclosterium is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Closteriaceae. It is rare, but widely distributed in freshwater regions throughout the world.
20231101.en_13203113_1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinoclosterium
Spinoclosterium
Spinoclosterium consists of solitary cells. Cells are relatively large, flattened, and are crescent-shaped in outline. The midregion is somewhat widened. The apices are broadly rounded to subcapitate, and are furnished with a stout, straight spine. Cells consist of two symmetrical halves, called semicells. Each semicell contains a single, axial chloroplast containing several pyrenoids scattered throughout. Each cell apex contains a vacuole.
20231101.en_13203113_2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinoclosterium
Spinoclosterium
With its crescent-shaped cells, Spinoclosterium is similar to its sister genus Closterium, but is easily distinguished by the tips of the cells bearing a spine.
20231101.en_13203113_3
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinoclosterium
Spinoclosterium
Spinoclosterium is able to reproduce asexually and sexually. It is unusual for its mode of asexual cell division, which involves a pale pink granular mucilage. The cell secretes this mucilage in a ring around its midregion, then completes mitosis and divides into two daughter cells. Like other desmids, the two daughter cells are asymmetrical at this stage, with one adult semicell and one newly formed semicell. However, the mucilage holds the two cells roughly in place until cells are fully developed in size. This means that unlike other desmids that finish cell division with daughter cells aligned head-to-head, the daughter cells of Spinoclosterium are aligned side-to-side.
20231101.en_13203113_4
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinoclosterium
Spinoclosterium
Sexual reproduction is anisogamous, with male and female gametes. Cells reproduce sexually by conjugating. The female cell lies next to the male cell and the two form a tube between them. The protoplast of the male cell shrinks inside and moves through the tube into the female cell, forming a zygote. The zygote matures into a full zygospore after a few days; the zygospore is irregularly ellipsoid in shape.
20231101.en_13203113_5
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinoclosterium
Spinoclosterium
When the zygospore germinates, it releases its contents and meiosis occurs, of which two of the four meiotic producte survive and the other two are aborted. The post-meiotic cells (called two gones) form an additional cell wall, and finally the each gone divides into two asymmetrical juvenile cells, releasing the cells by gelatinization of the double cell wall.

The top level of club rugby in Scotland are the two professional teams – Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh Rugby – that play in the United Rugby Championship. They assign their players to the clubs below in a Pro-Draft; so that they can still play when not used by the professional sides. From season 2019–20 a semi-professional championship in Scotland, known as the Super 6, was introduced – its teams no longer taken part in the Premiership competition. The Super 6 format is intended to bridge the gap between the amateur grade and the professional United Rugby Championship teams.

Up to season 1972–73, Scotland's rugby union clubs participated in what was known as the Scottish Unofficial Championship. It provided very unbalanced competition: some clubs played more fixtures than others and some fixture lists provided stiffer opposition than others. The resulting league table at the end of each season gave a very unbalanced and difficult-to-comprehend set of results.

Starting in season 1973–74, the Scottish Rugby Union organised the full member clubs into six leagues. This suited some of the 'open' clubs but many of the older former pupils clubs found it difficult to compete successfully and were forced into going 'open' themselves to try to recruit some of the better players. Those that didn't declined. Open clubs kept their old FP or Academical name, and still played on grounds owned by the schools. In the first 14 seasons of league rugby the Division I championship was won by Hawick on ten occasions.

One consequence was soon apparent: fewer players were selected from English clubs to represent Scotland. For the first time since before the First World War, the domestic game was producing an adequate number of players of genuine international class. Though the SRU's administrators were often seen as backward looking, Scotland had a national league before England, Wales or Ireland.

Heriot's FP became the first city club to win the championship, they had already attracted "outsiders"; their leading try-scorer was Bill Gammell, a Fettesian already capped for the Scotland national rugby union team while playing for Edinburgh Wanderers. League rugby drew the crowds, and the 20 years that followed its introduction were the best in the history of Scottish club rugby. In that period the title of champions rarely went out of the Borders: with Hawick, Gala and Melrose enjoying long periods of ascendancy. Recently, however, the Borders domination has faded and Glasgow Hawks won the title three times in successive years between 2003 and 2004 and 2005–06.

Each of the 10 clubs play each other at home and away between August and January, resulting in 18 games played by each club. Four points are awarded for a win, two for a draw and zero for a loss. Bonus points are also on offer in each game – one for scoring four or more tries and the other for the losing club finishing within seven points of the winning club.

From season 2014–15 an end of season play-off was introduced for the top four clubs in the table. These clubs take part in a knock-out competition, with first playing third and second playing fourth in a semi-final match at the home venue of the highest finishing clubs. The winners then face each other in the final to determine the Premiership champion.

The 10th-placed club is relegated to Scottish National League Division One and replaced by the winners of National League Division One. The 9th-placed club takes part in a play-off match at a neutral venue with the 2nd-placed club in National League Division One. Although the Super 6 established in 2019 is above the Premiership in the national hierarchy and its clubs were selected directly from the existing members, as of 2021 its format was a 'closed shop' with no movement of teams between the Super 6 and the Premiership.

Metylovice
The first written mention of Metylovice is in a deed of Bishop Dětřich from 1299. From the second half of the 17th century, tanning developed in the village, thanks to which the originally agricultural village began to prosper and grow. Brick houses began to replace the original wooden ones and the education and cultural life of the inhabitants increased.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staurodesmus
Staurodesmus
The genus Staurodesmus was first circumscribed by the desmidiologist Einar Teiling. The defining characteristic of the genus is the single, unbranched spines at each angle of the semicell. Cell walls also lack protuberances or other ornamentations, which separate the genus from the similar Xanthidium.
20231101.en_13203159_1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staurodesmus
Staurodesmus
The genus includes species formerly placed in Arthrodesmus and Staurastrum, the difference in the two genera being the number of planes of symmetry: Arthrodesmus was biradiate (having two planes of symmetry), while Staurastrum included species with three or more planes of symmetry. However, over the years desmidiologists found many specimens with one biradiate semicell and another tri- or quadriradiate semicell. As these cells could not soundly be placed into one genus, Teiling erected Staurodesmus; the name was made to be a portmanteau of Arthrodesmus and Staurastrum. Although Staurastrum is still used as a genus, Arthrodesmus is a later homonym (thus invalid) and is no longer used.

Staurodesmus
Staurodesmus consists of solitary cells that are divided into two symmetrical halves, called semicells. Semicells are diverse in shape, but are unified by having a single, unbranched spine at the angles of the semicells. The cell wall is smooth and lacks ornamentations other than pores or fine granules. Each semicell contains a single chloroplast.

The song was the flipside of Francis' hit single "Breakin' in a Brand New Broken Heart", which peaked at number seven on the U.S. pop chart. "Someone Else's Boy" was Francis' first collaboration with songwriter, arranger and band leader Cliff Parman (who wrote - among others - Nat King Cole's "Pretend"). The international success of "Someone Else's Boy" prompted Francis to work with Parman on several singles and three albums throughout 1961. Although "Someone Else's Boy" was overlooked in the U.S. and didn't chart, it became one of Francis' greatest international successes. It is the only song in her repertoire she recorded in eight languages:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triploceras
Triploceras
Triploceras exists as solitary cells, which are elongated and constricted at the middle (the constriction called an isthmus); the two halves are called semicells. At tip of either semicell, the cell is tipped with spiny lobes, similar to the polar lobes found in Micrasterias. Along the margins of the semicells are many whorls of processes that may be tipped with spines or teeth. Cells have one chloroplast filling the cell.

Triploceras
Triploceras is easily recognizable due to its elongated shape and polar lobes. The similar genus Triplastrum also has polar spines, but lacks protuberances along the sides of the cell.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthidium
Xanthidium
Xanthidium exists as symmetrical single cells. Cells are deeply constricted, forming two halves called semicells; they are rectangular, rounded, or polygonal in front view, flattened. The angles are usually drawn out into spines, which are typically paired and sometimes branched. Semicells often have a protuberance or additional spine in the center of the semicell. Cells have two or many axile chloroplasts which fill the cell. A notable exception is the species Xanthidium tumidum, formerly placed in the genus Staurastrum as Staurastrum tumidum. Morphologically it is triangular in cross section (unlike other species, which are flattened in cross section). Its placement in this genus is due to molecular data.

Xanthidium
Species identification of Xanthidium depends on the shape of the cell, cell wall ornamentation, and location and number of the spines. However, some species such as Xanthidium antilopaeum are notoriously polymorphic.

Robert Newell (politician)
Robert "Doc" Newell (March 30, 1807 – November 24, 1869) was an American politician and fur trapper in the Oregon Country. He was a frontier doctor in what would become the U.S. state of Oregon. A native of Ohio, he served in the Provisional Government of Oregon and later was a member of the Oregon State Legislature. The Newell House Museum, his reconstructed former home on the French Prairie in Champoeg, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Newell was born on March 30, 1807, in Zanesville, Ohio. In 1829, Newell joined William Sublette and his group on a party to trap beaver. Others in the group included Joseph L. Meek and Jedediah Smith. He trapped fur in the region west of the Rockies in the 1830s, and married Kitty, a Nez Perce woman in 1833. During his time as a mountain man, he became so skilled at basic surgery and healing, despite not having professional medical training, that he earned the nickname "Doctor" or "Doc" Newell that stayed with him the rest of his life.
