Edwin P. James 27 August 1797 28 October 1861, a 19th-century American botanist, geologist, and medical practitioner, was an important figure in the early exploration of the American West. James was also known for his time spent creating relationships with Native Americans in the United States, and also aiding African Americans to escape slavery.
James is primarily remembered for his participation in the expedition of 1819-1820 led by Major Stephen Harriman Long, into still largely unknown territory acquired in the Louisiana Purchase. James served during the expedition's more productive second year. The original botanist/surgeon, William Baldwin, died during the first year. That expedition . . . was the first scientific survey of the region and dramatically increased the countrys geographical knowledge of the West. James was primarily responsible for producing the report, Account of an Expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky Mountains, Performed in the Years 1819, 1820, published in 1823. see below, Works.
During the expedition, James accomplished the first recorded mountain ascent in North America to over 14,000 ft. elevation, and was the first to collect many alpine plant species, including what he called the mountain Columbine, Aquilegia coerulea E.James, later to become the state flower of Colorado, now with the common name Colorado Blue Columbine.
The expedition's extensive collection of information on flora, fauna, geology and geography, as recounted in James' Account, is reminiscent of the efforts, just two decades earlier, by Alexander von Humboldt in Central and South America. A copy of Humboldt's Personal Narrative of Travels of the Equinocial Regions of the New Continent was carried by the Long expedition.
The Account influenced the literature of the Far West. Historian William H. Goetzmann suggested the most important literary event of 1823 was the publication of Dr. Edwin James's Account of an Expedition ... See also Benson in Further reading, p. xviii. In a more recent homage to James, Lyndgaard said: The passages that deal with landscape description, bison, and Native Americans, especially the Pawnee, were immediately recognized for their quality, and were thus mined by novelists as well as celebrated by reviewers.
Education
Born in Weybridge, Vermont, to Daniel and Mary Emmes James, he prepared for college at Addison County Grammar School before entering Middlebury College in 1812. After receiving his A.B. in 1816, James moved to Albany, New York, to continue study in medicine with his physician brother, botany with John Torrey, and botany and geology with Amos Eaton. In 1819 James became a part of the American Geological Society and within one year had authored articles on the subject. Within this same time frame he also prepared the first list of Vermont plants.
Expedition to the Rocky Mountains
The second year of the Long Expedition began June 6, 1820 when the members, now including 22-year-old Edwin James, left the overwintering camp, Engineer Cantonment, near the eastern border of the current state of Nebraska. They headed west toward the Rockies, following, for the most part, the Platte River, then south along the Rocky Mountain front, before heading east toward the expedition's ending location which occurred on September 13, 1820 at Fort Smith, in what is now western Arkansas.
On July 13, James and two others set out to climb Pikes Peak. As James writes in his Account:
On the morning of the 14th . . . we continued the ascent, hoping to be able to reach the summit of the Peak, and return to the same camp in the evening. . . . A little above the point where the timber disappears entirely, commences a region of astonishing beauty . . . covered with a carpet of low but brilliantly flowering alpine plants. . . . We now found it would be impossible to reach the summit of the mountain, and return to our camp of the preceding night, during that part of the day which remained; but as we could not persuade ourselves to turn back, after having so nearly accomplished the ascent, we resolved to take our chance of spending the night, on whatever part of the mountain, it might overtake us. . . . We met, as we proceeded, such numbers of unknown and interesting plants, as to occasion much delay in collecting, and were under the disagreeable necessity of passing by numbers which we saw in situations difficult of access.
Note: Historian Roger Lawrence Williams used the phrase a region of astonishing beauty, from the above, for the title of his 2003 book on Rocky Mountains botanical history. see Further reading
After reaching the Peak, James describes the natural history of the summit, and goes on to describe the view in all directions in some detail, including smoke in a valley to the north supposed to indicate the encampment of a party of Indians.
It was the first time in recorded history that a mountain of such height 4,302 m/14,115 feet had been scaled in North America. In South America, Alexander von Humboldt reached ca. 5,800 m 19,000 ft on Mt. Chimborazo in 1802. In a commemoration 100 years later, the day was considered as undoubtedly the most notable day of the expedition for botanical collecting by George Everett Osterhout, a prominent Colorado botanist.
Due to traversing a largely uncharted country, it was not always clear from James' Account exactly where each camp and collecting site was. The expedition's path was retraced 170 years later, relying not only on the Account but also James' diary and scenic paintings of the expedition's artist, Samuel Seymour. In spite of considerable change over the years, sites were located with accuracy.
During the Expedition James collected ca. 700 plant species in the mountains and over the prairies, of which 140 were new to science. In addition to Aquilegia coerulea, James named many other species e.g., Limber Pine, Pinus flexilis E.James, and many were later named after him by John Torrey notably the Cliffbush, Jamesia americana Torr & A.Gray, often found at high elevations growing in cracks in vertical rock surfaces, and by others who worked on his collections e.g., Telesonix jamesii Torr. Raf.. All in all, 24 plant species were named in James' honor.
In his 1920 100 year anniversary commemoration, Osterhout noted: In general the native plants still grow and blossom as they did when Dr. James saw them in 1820; but a great change has been wrought in the country. Fruitful farms have replaced much of what seemed to be sterile soil, and towns and cities and a busy industry have come to their silent and uninhabited plains and hills.
Later
After completing the expedition, most members went, by various routes, back to the East Coast. Most especially James suffered from malaria, which delayed returning. James did not get to Philadelphia, the meeting place, until the autumn of 1821. James was assigned the primary responsibility with collaboration by Long and Say of writing the Accounts narrative, to append the collected data, and to prepare the results for publication, a job completed near the end of 1822. See also Benson in Further reading, p. xii.
Subsequently James was appointed US Army surgeon to serve at various frontier outposts including the Great Lakes region; he served from 1823 to 1833. While with the Army he interacted with Native Americans, most notably the Ojibwe with whose language he became familiar. A EuroAmerican, John Tanner captive, captured by the Ojibwe when a child and raised among them, worked closely with James in the production of the New Testament in the Ojibwe language, and in the telling of Tanner's life story. See Works, 1830, 1833.
In 1827, while still working for the Army but during a return visit to the East, James married Clara Rogers. His ... beautiful wife ... was a woman of talent and fond of society ... . They had one child, a son named Edwin Jr., born in 1828. By ca. 1840 the exact date is uncertain they had permanently settled on land near Burlington, Iowa, which they developed into a productive farm. There James maintained, in his house, a station on the Underground Railroad Clara died in 1854, leaving James in great sorrow. James himself died in 1861, the result of an accident on his farm.
From Lammers 2016:
He was buried next to his wife in Rock Spring Cemetery . . . Many years later the Des Moines County Medical Society planted around his grave the Rocky Mountain Blue Columbine Aquilegia coerulea E. James that he discovered and named on the Long Expedition p 487,.

Stars of CCTV is the debut studio album by English indie rock band Hard-Fi. It was first released on 4 July 2005 through Necessary Records and Atlantic Records. It received positive reviews from critics and was nominated for the 2005 Mercury Music Prize.
The album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart in January 2006, taking it about five months to reach number one mainly due to the preceding single Cash Machine catching the sellers' attention; its original peak position was number six. The album has sold 1.2 million copies worldwide, with over 300,000 in the UK alone. It was certified 2× platinum by the BPI for selling 600,000 copies in the UK. The song Gotta Reason is included on the soundtrack of the football video game FIFA 06.
Background
The majority of Stars of CCTV was recorded in a variety of unusual acoustic environments bedrooms, pubs, and played back in Hard-Fi producer Wolsey White's BMW. 1,000 copies of this record were pressed with only 500 going on public sale, and the initial plan was to sell 1,000 each time. However it quickly sold out, receiving critical acclaim and radio play, proving a lot more successful than the band had imagined. Most of the album was recorded in a disused mini cab office, which cost them about £300, and it is known to this day as the Cherry Lips Studio due to the colour of the paint on the walls. The band tried to make their music sound more environmental by putting a microphone in the corridor, which added echo, but background noises caused by people walking past or planes flying overhead could be heard while the band recorded. These background noises can still be heard on the record. The band used the TL Audio Fatman compressor for the album, Archer said It's alright, it's cheap, you don't have to know what you're doing....
Stars of CCTV was originally released as a mini album, a very limited release which sold out very quickly. A few months after, the album had been going on sale on websites such as eBay for £25. Talking about the situation, frontman Richard Archer said;
We had no money but time was a luxury that we did have. So we spent a year planning, then recording it ourselves, and we did all the artwork ourselves too. Even our website was designed by us. We got a book out of the library so we could learn how to do it. Then we had to do it again cos it was a right palaver . So after all that, things took off really quickly and went crazy in the space of two months, which was quite surprising.
Release
The album's launch party was scheduled for 7 July 2005 at Cheekees night club in Staines where their top ten single Hard to Beat was filmed, but this was cancelled due to the ill health of Richard's mother, and the London bombings also occurring that day. Her death resulted in the band pulling out of the Glastonbury festival. The launch party was rescheduled for 13 July 2005 and the venue changed to Ladbroke Grove, London. Richard says that he is no longer friends with Cheekee because of an incident involving him describing his nightclub to a newspaper like a bad wedding. Richard defended himself by saying ...but everyone likes a bad wedding so I don't see what the problem is.
After a successful campaign by Atlantic, the Stars of CCTV album re-entered the official UK album chart at No. 4 on 1 January 2006. Two places higher than it originally went in on the week of its release. It reached No. 1 on 22 January 2006. The band's re-release of Cash Machine entered the official Top 40 singles chart at No. 14 on 1 January.
The album was listed for 102 weeks in 7 different charts and was certificated platinum by BPI. Its first appearance in the UK Albums Chart was the Top 75 in week 28 in 2005 with its last appearance being week 40 in 2007 in the UK Album Chart Top 75. Its peak position was number 1 on the UK Album Chart.

Overall Stars of CCTV received positive reviews and on aggregate website Metacritic the album attained a score of 74 out of 100 based on 22 professional reviews.
The NME described the album as the album of the year and gave the album 9/10 in a very positive review.
Dave Simpson of The Guardian gave the album three stars out of five, writing that Hard-Fi's edge over more derivative rivals lies in a formula that delivers old Specials and Clash reggae vibes with the big-tune ratio of a boy band. He however deemed some of the later tracks on the album filler.
In a 3.5/5 star review for AllMusic, MacKenzie Wilson wrote that They sound like a garage band while delving into the monotony of everyday suburban life, referring to their small town upbringing. Thus a raw kind of work ethic gradually emerges on Stars of CCTV. Their formula of snappy choruses and tight guitar hooks, particularly on Middle Eastern Holiday and Gotta Reason, captures Hard-Fi's youthful presentation.

5 singles from debut album Stars of CCTV were released.
Like all of the Hard-Fi releases, various formats carried subtle changes to differentiate them on the shelf, making them all collectable, such as Hard to Beat's changing sky to Living for the Weekend's countdown to 18:00.
The Tina'' mentioned on some of the sleeves formed a subplot throughout all the single releases. She later became a bit of a talking point both in the music press and on the fans forums.

Jaroslav Malina born 11 April 1945, in Dolní Bučice near Čáslav, Czech Republic is a Czech archaeologist, anthropologist, publishing editor, head of the Department Institute of Anthropology of the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, and founder and head of Universitas Masarykiana Foundation.
Biography
Malina has had a great interest in archaeology and anthropology since childhood. After finishing secondary education he enrolled for a study of archaeology at the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University, graduating in 1967. In 1969 he performed with his colleagues his first archaeological experiment. With this experiment and his consequent work in experimental archaeology he became a founder of this scientific discipline in former Czechoslovakia and this discipline also led him to pursuing his goals in anthropology.
Anthropology
Leadership
Through experimental archaeology Malina came to understand the complexity of human nature and shifted his research and occupational interests to anthropology. In the beginning of the 1990s, together with Jan Beneš and Vladimír Novotný, he co-founded the Department of Anthropology of the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University, which directly picked up on Vojtěch Suks Anthropological Institute which was, due to ideological reasons, strictly limited and reduced during the years 194819891. Together with his colleagues, Malina strongly supported and supports the idea of anthropology as a holistic, integral biological social cultural scientific disciplines, which studies man from every possible point of view.
After the passing of the first head of the Department Jan Beneš in 1999, Malina became the head of department1.
Academic and scientific degrees, duties
Malina was awarded the PhD in 1968, and in 1993 he was awarded the degree docent associate professor of anthropology.
In 1994 Jaroslav Malina was awarded the scientific degree Doctor Scientiae DrSc., and in 1995 the academic degree professor of anthropology at the Masaryk University2.
He teaches several courses: Introduction to Anthropology, Anthropology of Ethnicity, Anthropology of Antiquity, Anthropology of Sexuality and others. He also manages the Anthropological Seminar, where invited specialists present the newest or the most interesting concepts or findings in anthropology and related disciplines.
During the years 20012009 twelve post-gradual doctoral students graduated under his supervision; currently he supervises fifteen doctoral students and several bachelor and masters-level students.
Scientific work and publications
In his scientific work Malina deals with the subjects concerning experimental and sociocultural anthropology and archaeology, petroarchaeology and philosophy of science. He has published many scientific studies, essays and books, both in former Czechoslovakia and in the Czech Republic as well as abroad. Among his writings are:

In 1993 he initiated an extensive scientific and artistic project to produce a book in five volumes and an associated exhibition titled Kruh prstenu: Světové dějiny sexuality, erotiky a lásky od počátků do současnosti v reálném životě, krásné literatuře, výtvarném umění a dílech českých malířů a sochařů inspirovaných obsahem této knihy [The Circle of the Ring: The World History of Sexuality, Eroticism and Love from the Beginnings up to the Present Day in Real Life, Belle-Lettres, Visual Art and in the Works of Czech Painters and Sculptors Inspired by the Content of this Book]. After the preprints of the four volumes published in 19992003 the work started to be published in its final form in 2007. In 2000 the long-time scientific and educational project Panoráma biologické a sociokulturní antropologie: Modulové učební texty pro studenty antropologie a příbuzných oborů [Panorama of Biological and Sociocultural Anthropology: Module Textbooks for Students of Anthropology and Related Specialisations] in the framework of which and under his editorial leadership with the contributions of many significant specialists 40 volumes were published.
He also edited scientific-educational books going back to the mysteries of the distant past and human creativity:

Ahmad bin Na'aman Al Kaabi ; was born in Sohar, Oman. He was the first Arab emissary to visit the United States. He was sent by the Sultan of Oman, Seyyid Said bin Sultan and sailed in 1840 from Zanzibar, in a newly built ship, called the Sultanah, to New York for trade between the two countries. He worked as Seyyid Saids Private Secretary and Political Advisor. He kept a Log Book during the entire journey to the United States recording all the trade transactions and events. The Log Book was in the family of Saleh bin Abbas bin Abdulamir AlShaibaniy through his fathers great uncle, Nasser bin Saleh bin Suleiman AlShaibany.
Naaman had two daughters. Fatma and Maryam. The later was married to Nasser bin Saleh bin Suleiman AlShaibani but they had no children.
Voyage to the United States
Sayyid Said bin Sultan had long flirted with the idea of sending one of his vessels to the US. In 1839, several senior members of the New York firm Scoville and Britton arrived in Zanzibar and sought to persuade Sayyid Said to open direct trade with New York. Sayyid Said selected his private secretary Ahmad bin Na'aman on his royal ship, Al-Sultanah for the voyage to New York. The ship was navigated by an English captain, but was replaced by an American sailing master upon its return to Zanzibar. After loading some cargo in Muscat, al-Sultanah took on additional cargo in Zanzibar and set sail for America, stopping only in St. Helena. The ship was well received on its arrival in New York in early May 1840 and its officers were invited to visit the Navy Yard, take a train ride, and attend a reception for the governor of New York and vice-president of the United States. The US Navy undertook repairs to al-Sultanah, as a gesture of gratitude for al-Sultanahs assistance to the American vessel Peacock, which had been damaged when it went aground on a coral reef off Masirah Island in 1835. The trip was primarily a commercial venture and al-Sultanahs cargo of Persian carpets, coffee, dates, ivory tusks, gum copal, cloves, and salted hides was offloaded in New York. The proceeds were used to purchase American goods including general merchandise, personal items for Sayyid Said and his brother, and some chandeliers and mirrors for several Zanzibar merchants.
Ahmad bin Na'aman had two daughters, Fatma and Maryam. His daughter Maryam was married to Nasser bin Saleh bin Nasser bin Suleiman Al-Sheibani but they had no children. Ahmad bin Na'aman's estate was inherited by Abdulamir bin Ali bin Saleh Al-Sheibani, the nephew of Nasser, Ahmad bin Na'aman's son in-law. Abdulamir bin Ali inherited Ahmad bin Na'aman's logbook that was used in the al-Sultanah's voyage to New York in 1840. Abdulamir's family donated the logbook to Oman's Ministry of Heritage and it is now in the Museum in Muscat. Ahmed bin Na'aman died in Zanzibar in 1869.

The Canadian Bandurist Capella is a vocal-instrumental ensemble that combines the sounds of male choral singing with the orchestral accompaniment of the multi-stringed Ukrainian bandura. Originally established as Toronto Bandurist Capella in 2001, the ensemble has been performing under the name Canadian Bandurist Capella since 2004. It is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
History
The ensemble was founded in 2001 as a male bandurist chorus under the name Toronto Bandurist Capella. The original group was under the artistic direction of Victor Mishalow and included several instrumentalists from the Hryhory Kytasty Bandura Chorus, as well as choristers from various Ukrainian choirs in Toronto. The ensemble premiered at the Canadian National Exhibition on August 23, 2001, with 24 performers.The group incorporated in 2003.

The Krasnoyarsk Dam is a high concrete gravity dam located on the Yenisey River about upstream from Krasnoyarsk in Divnogorsk, Russia. It was constructed from 1956 to 1972, and it supplies about 6,000 MW six GW of power, mostly used to supply the KrAZ Krasnoyarsky Aluminievyy Zavod, the Krasnoyarsk Aluminum Plant. Both power and aluminum plants are controuinjnfijcnsebfhdbdrlled by the RUSAL company.
Beginning with the opening of the 10th turbine in April 1971, the powerhouse was the world's single largest power plant until the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State reached 6,181 MW in 1983. The Krasnoyarsk Dam is held to be a landmark symbol of Krasnoyarsk, and it is depicted on the 10-ruble banknote.
As a result of the damming, the Krasnoyarsk Reservoir was created. This reservoir, informally known as the Krasnoyarsk Sea, has an area of and a volume of . It is in length and in width at its widest, has an average depth of , and a depth of near the dam.
The Krasnoyarsk Dam significantly influences the local climate; normally the river would freeze over in the bitterly cold Siberian winter, but because the dam releases unfrozen water year-round, the river never freezes in the to stretch of river immediately downstream from the dam. In winter, the frigid air interacts with the warm river water to produce fog, which shrouds Krasnoyarsk and other downstream areas.
Ship lift
The dam is equipped with a canal inclined plane to allow passage of ships. It is in fact an electric rack railway. The track gauge is , making it the widest-gauge railway of any type in the world. At the time of its construction, this feat of modern engineering allowed for ships to be physically moved in only 90 minutes.

WTNI 1640 AM is a radio station licensed to Biloxi, Mississippi, which broadcasts a Classic Country format with 10,000 watts daytime and 1,000 watts at night. The station is one of only six broadcasting stations in the United States licensed for 1640 kHz.
History
WTNI's began operation in 2003 as the AM expanded band twin of WVMI on AM 570 kHz. WVMI was originally owned by Radio Associates. It was granted a Construction Permit in February 1947, and signed on in March 1950. The station originally was limited to daytime-only operation with 1,000 watts. In 1976, the signal was upgraded to 5,000 watts daytime, and 1,000 watts at night. In 1990, WVMI was sold to Telesouth Communications, which changed the format from country music to News/Talk.
In 1990, ten additional frequencies, from 1610-1700 kHz, were added to the AM broadcast band in the Americas, and in 1997 WVMI received permission to move to 1640 kHz. The operation on 1640 kHz was licensed in 2003 as WTNI, which stood for Talk, News, Information, and continued the existing News/Talk format. Later that year WVMI ceased operations on 570 kHz.
WTNI later began simulcasting WANG 1490 AM's The Champ sports format. This simulcast was discontinued on March 8, 2019, with WANG switching to a Classic Country format, and WTNI continuing with sports. However, the following June WTNI returned to simulcasting WANG, now carrying that station's Classic Country programming as 103.5 The Possum.

Amblyopone australis, the southern Michelin ant, is a species of ant in the genus Amblyopone, native to Australia. The species was described by Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson in 1842. Workers can vary in colour from yellow to dark brown or black. They have a body length of 4.58mm; queens are larger.
It has been accidentally introduced to New Zealand, where it has become widely established across the North Island. It is the largest ant species established in New Zealand.
Biology
Amblyopone australis lives in relatively small colonies of tens to hundreds up to 2000, typically under logs or stones. Adults forage above and below ground, preying upon other arthropods, paralysing them with their sting. Larvae are fed dismembered body parts of prey.

Hereford Cathedral Library is a working theological lending and reference library located in Hereford Cathedral, Hereford, England; it also holds books and manuscripts of major importance to the history of the county of Herefordshire. Hereford Cathedral Library is also well known for its chained books as it is the only library of this type to survive with all of the chains, rods and locks still intact.
History
16th and 17th centuries
During the reign of Elizabeth I, in 1582, a commission investigating the cathedral found that the collection, gathered since the 12th century, was poorly organised and poorly kept. In 1590 the whole library was moved to the Lady Chapel, and in 1611 the Chained Library with books in manuscript chained to their places was established by Thomas Thornton. Thornton, who was canon of Hereford from 1583 onwards and vice-chancellor of Oxford University in 1583 and 1599, was the first to chain books in the library. William Brewster bequeathed the collection to St John's College, Oxford. Many books were added in the 17th century and in 1678 the collection from the Jesuit College at Cwm, Llanrothal, Wales, joined the library when the college was shut down following the invasion by John Arnold of Monmouthshire.
19th and 20th centuries
In the 1840s, the cathedral underwent considerable restoration work and the books and shelves had to be removed from the Lady Chapel. It was split between the North Transept and the Victorian Dean Leigh Library. In 1854, Francis Tebbs Havergal was appointed deputy librarian and he greatly improved the library and paid attention to details such as the room temperature and cleanliness. B. F. Streeter was responsible for a major change in the organisation of the library as were librarians such as Langton E. Brown and Maude Bull from 1897 onwards; Bull worked in the library for over fifty years until her death in 1951. For years, the notable scholar, Canon William Wolfe Capes 18341914, sorted records within the library; he printed a volume containing early records, presenting it to the members of the Cantilupe Society. Also important in the library's history were Frederick Charles Morgan died 1978, aged 100 and his daughter Penelope 197690. F. C. Morgan supervised the cataloguing project of 1927 onwards, following a donation by the Dean Leigh Fund. His nephew Paul was succeeded as honorary librarian by Penelope Morgan who remained in the post until 1989. During the Second World War, the Mappa Mundi the largest medieval map known to still exist and other valuable manuscripts from the medieval period were kept elsewhere in safety and returned to the collection in 1946.
Mappa Mundi Library
In 1988 the Dean and Chapter proposed the sale of the Mappa Mundi and aroused considerable national opposition. Following the setting up of a dedicated trust, a donation from Sir Paul Getty, and an endowment from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, the Mappa and chained library were transferred to the Mappa Mundi Charitable Trust and a new building designed by Sir William Whitfield was opened on 3 May 1996 by the Queen to house the historic collections and the historic chained library, which is open to the public.
Both chained library and historic collections in store are now held in temperature-controlled, fire-resistant rooms and the Mappa and historic collection are much easier to access than they were in the cathedral. However, the chained library is still chained to the bookshelves.
Collection
Most of the books in the collection date to about 1100. The oldest volume in the library, the Hereford Gospels in Anglo-Saxon characters, dates to around the year 780 and was the only book to survive the 1055 fire. Many of the books and manuscripts were collected from Herefordshire, with many of those from the 14th century onwards related to county law. For several centuries books were stored in cupboards or wooden chests until the first library room was established, in the south-west cloister of the cathedral, in the 15th century.
The library contains mainly old books in manuscript chained to their places, some of them fine specimens of ancient handwriting, containing beautiful illustrations in gold and colour. The library has an ancient and well-preserved Hereford antiphonary of the 13th century. Another treasure is an ancient reliquary of oak, bequeathed to the cathedral by Canon Russell, said to have been obtained it from a Roman Catholic family in whose possession it had long been. It is covered with copper plates overlaid with Limoges enamel representing the murder and entombment of St. Thomas of Canterbury. The library is in possession of some 229 manuscripts, mainly theological, dated from the 8th to the 16th centuries. Aside from the Hereford Gospels, is the Wycliffite Bible and the 13th century Hereford Breviary the only surviving copy.
The Chained Library has about 1500 older books in its collection, dating mainly from the late 15th to the early 19th centuries, although it has some 56 books published before 1500. The bulk of the collection is of books on theology, biblical and church studies and law. Aside from the 150 volumes, dated to the 16th and 17th centuries, from the Jesuit Library at Llanrothal, it received, in 1925, 242 volumes on theology from Paul Foley of Stoke Edith House and, in 1978, 260 volumes printed between 14941782 from the Library of Lady Hawkins School at Kington. The library has also received many other small donations over the years, revealing an important insight into the history of the county and ecclesiastical practices within it. The collection also contains music manuscripts used in Hereford Cathedral between the late 17th and 19th centuries and some 9,000 items printed after 1850, as well as a local history section.

Timothy P. Slottow is the president of the University of Phoenix, appointed in June 2014 by the institution's Board of Trustees after 16 years at the University of Michigan.
In October 2015, Slottow wrote to an open letter to alumni of the University of Phoenix after the U.S. Department of Defense placed its Memorandum of Understanding MOU with the school in probationary status.
Slottow has published his views of University of Phoenix in Inside Higher Ed, including his view in response to columnist Matt Reed's column about whether the University was a good school. He also wrote about the White House College Scorecard upon data released in September 2015.
Education
Slottow went to UC Berkeley. Alongside his studies, he performed as a gymnast. He graduated from UC Berkeley with a bachelor's degree and later earned an M.B.A. from the University of Washington.
Slottow went to work in various positions at Amtrak, the city of Seattle, and Accenture.
Business career
In 1998, Slottow was hired as the executive vice president and CFO at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. At the University of Michigan, Slottow managed thousands of employees and served as the leader and manager of building construction, IT services, investment management, and HR. He steered the University of Michigan during the recession, managing a $6.5 billion budget and a $16 billion asset portfolio.
While at Michigan, Slottow intervened in a major dispute between the university and Coca-Cola about alleged human rights violations. Slottow supported, and ultimately won, an investigation into Coca-Cola's labor practices. In late 2005 and early 2006, UofM stopped buying Coca-Cola products. Allegations surfaced about alleged human rights violations by Coca-Cola. The University requested that Coca-Cola audit the alleged violations, but the company refused. After four months of suspended contracts between UofM and Coca-Cola, Slottow worked with the university's administration to resume contracts with Coca-Cola in exchange for independent investigations into the alleged violations. A branch of the United Nations the International Labour Organization was one of the organizations that agreed to investigate the labor practices. In his public letter to Coca-Cola, which Slottow co-wrote with another Michigan executive, he said We respect the reputation and track record of ILO in advancing the rights of workers around the world.
An article about Slottow in the University of Michigan's student newspaper, The Michigan Daily, praised Slottow for wide-ranging responsibility for a $5.2 billion enterprise and said Timothy Slottow couldnt be more of an exception.
In 2014, he was hired to run the University of Phoenix. After he announced his departure from Ann Arbor, the president of the University of Michigan publicly praised one of his greatest accomplishments during his tenure: growing the University of Michigan endowment fund to $8.4 billion.

Cottonseed is the seed of the cotton plant.
Composition
The mature seeds are brown ovoids weighing about a tenth of a gram. By weight, they are 60 cotyledon, 32 coat and 8 embryonic root and shoot. These are 20 protein, 20 oil and 3.5 starch. Fibers grow from the seed coat to form a boll of cotton lint. The boll is a protective fruit and when the plant is grown commercially, it is stripped from the seed by ginning and the lint is then processed into cotton fibre. For unit weight of fibre, about 1.6 units of seeds are produced. The seeds are about 15 of the value of the crop and are pressed to make oil and used as ruminant animal feed. About 5 of the seeds are used for sowing the next crop.
Uses of cottonseed
Feed products for livestock
Cottonseed is crushed in the mill after removing lint from the cotton boll. The seed is further crushed to remove any remaining linters or strands of minute cotton fibers. The seeds are further hulled and polished to release the soft and high-protein meat. These hulls of the cottonseed are then mixed with other types of grains to make it suitable for the livestock feed. Cottonseed meal and hulls are one of the most abundantly available natural sources of protein and fiber used to feed livestock.
Cottonseed as supplement is marketed primarily towards agricultural sectors that feed dairy cows. Some feedlots use corn to supplement the forage diets of cows; high starch diets, such as those in corn supplemented diets, can lead to liver damage in cows. Cottonseed is considered a safer alternative to corn supplemented diets due to its low starch content . Cottonseed as livestock feed must also be monitored for safety since the foodstuff is high in energy/fat and too much fat content in a cow's diet can disrupt its ability to digest fiber, leading to other complications.
Cottonseed meal
Cottonseed meal is a good source of protein. The two types of meal extraction processes are solvent extraction and mechanical extraction. Most of the meal is extracted mechanically through cottonseed kernels. The flaked cottonseed kernels are put under high pressure through a screw inside a constantly revolving barrel. The screw pushes out the oil through the openings made in the barrel. The dry pieces left in the barrel are preserved and ground into meal. During the solvent extraction process, the cottonseed kernels are subjected to fine grinding by pushing them through an expander and then the solvent is used to extract most of the oil. The solvent-extracted meals have a lower fat content of 0.5 than the mechanically extracted meals with a fat content of 2.0. Cottonseed meal contains more arginine than soybean meal. Cottonseed meal can be used in multiple ways: either alone or mixed with other plant and animal protein sources.
Cottonseed hulls
The outer coverings of the cottonseed, known as cottonseed hulls, are removed from the cotton kernels before the oil is extracted. Cottonseed hulls are an excellent source of livestock feed as they contain about 8 cotton linters, which are nearly 100 cellulose. They require no grinding and easily mix with other feed sources. As they are easy to handle, their transportation cost is also fairly low. Whole cottonseed is another feed product of cottonseed used to feed livestock. It is the seed left after the separation of long fibres from cotton, and serves as a good source of cellulose for ruminants. Whole cottonseed leads to high production of milk and fat when fed to a high-producing dairy cow. It can be cost effective and provides nutrients with a high protein value of about 23, crude fibre value of 25, and high energy value of 20. Whole cottonseed serves as a highly digestible feed which also improves the reproductive performance in livestock. Pima cottonseed, which is free of linters by default, and delinted cottonseed are other types of cottonseed feed products.
Consumption by humans
Cottonseeds are toxic to humans and most animals due to the presence of gossypol, though it is tolerated by cows, and cannot be consumed by humans without processing. In order to make cottonseed oil fit for human consumption, it must be processed to remove the gossypol. In October 2018, the United States Department of Agriculture approved for farming a genetically modified version of cottonseed developed by Dr. Keerti Rathore of Texas A&M AgriLife Research that contains ultra-low amounts of gossypol in its seeds. The toxin remains present in other parts of the plant to protect against pests, but is not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration for human consumption.
Cottonseed oil
The refined seed oil extracted from the kernels can be used as a cooking oil or in salad dressings. It is also used in the production of shortening and margarine. Cotton grown for the extraction of cottonseed oil is one of major crops grown around the world for the production of oil, after soy, corn, and canola.
Fertilizer
The cottonseed meal after being dried can be used as a dry organic fertilizer, as it contains 41 protein. It can also be mixed with other natural fertilizers to improve its quality and use. Due to its natural nutrients, cottonseed meal improves soil's texture and helps retain moisture. It serves as a good source of natural fertilizers in dry areas due to its tendency of keeping the soil moist. Cottonseed meal and cottonseed ashes are also sometimes used to supplement organic hydroponic solutions. Cottonseed meal fertilizers can be used for roses, camellias, or vegetable gardens.
Cosmetics
The fine quality oil extracted from cottonseed during the extraction process is also used in cosmetics, such as moisturizing lotions and bath soaps.

Ubbe Eert Ub Iwerks ; March 24, 1901 July 7, 1971 was an American animator, cartoonist, character designer, inventor, and special effects technician, who designed Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Mickey Mouse. Iwerks produced alongside Walt Disney and won numerous awards, including multiple Academy Awards.
Early life
Iwerks was born in Kansas City, Missouri. His father, Eert Ubbe Iwwerks, was born in the village of Uttum in East Frisia northwest Germany, today part of the municipality of Krummhörn and immigrated to the United States in 1869. The elder Iwwerks, who worked as a barber, was 57 when Ub was born and had fathered and abandoned several previous children and wives of his. When Ub was a teenager, he abandoned him as well, forcing the boy to drop out of school and work to support his mother. Iwerks despised his father and never spoke of him--upon learning that he had died, he reportedly said Throw him in a ditch. Ub's full name, Ubbe Ert Iwwerks, can be seen on early Alice Comedies that he signed. Several years later he simplified his name to Ub Iwerks, sometimes written as U. B. Iwerks.
He is the father of Disney Legend Don Iwerks and grandfather of documentary film producer Leslie Iwerks.
Career
Iwerks was considered by many to be Walt Disney's oldest friend and spent most of his career with Disney. The two met in 1919 while working for the Pesmen-Rubin Art Studio in Kansas City, and eventually started their own commercial art business together. Disney and Iwerks then found work as illustrators for the Kansas City Slide Newspaper Company which was later named The Kansas City Film Ad Company. While working for the Kansas City Film Ad Company, Disney decided to take up work in animation, and Iwerks soon joined him.
He was responsible for the distinctive style of the earliest Disney animated cartoons, and was also responsible for designing Mickey Mouse. In 1922, when Disney began his Laugh-O-Gram cartoon series, Iwerks joined him as chief animator. The studio went bankrupt, however, and in 1923 Iwerks followed Disney's move to Los Angeles to work on a new series of cartoons known as the Alice Comedies which had live-action mixed with animation. After the end of this series, Disney asked Iwerks to design a character that became Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. The first cartoon Oswald starred in was animated entirely by Iwerks. Following the first cartoon, Oswald was redesigned on the insistence of Oswalds owner and the distributor of the cartoons, Universal Pictures. The production company at the time, Winkler Pictures, gave additional input on the characters design.
In spring 1928, Disney was removed from the Oswald series, and much of his staff was hired away to Winkler Pictures. He promised to never again work with a character he did not own. Disney asked Iwerks, who stayed on, to start drawing up new character ideas. Iwerks tried sketches of frogs, dogs, and cats, but none of these appealed to Disney. A female cow and male horse were created at this time by Iwerks, but were also rejected. They later turned up as Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar. Ub Iwerks eventually got inspiration from an old drawing. In 1925, Hugh Harman drew some sketches of mice around a photograph of Walt Disney. Then, on a train ride back from a failed business meeting, Walt Disney came up with the original sketch for the character that was eventually called Mickey Mouse. Afterward, Disney took the sketch to Iwerks. In turn, he drew a more clean-cut and refined version of Mickey, but one that still followed the original sketch.
The first few Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphonies cartoons were animated almost entirely by Iwerks, including Steamboat Willie and The Skeleton Dance. However, as Iwerks began to draw more and more cartoons on a daily basis, he chafed under Disney's dictatorial rule. Iwerks also felt he wasn't getting the credit he deserved for drawing all of Disney's successful cartoons. Eventually, Iwerks and Disney had a falling out; their friendship and working partnership were severed in January 1930. According to an unconfirmed account, a child approached Disney and Iwerks at a party and asked for a picture of Mickey to be drawn on a napkin, to which Disney handed the pen and paper to Iwerks and stated, Draw it. Iwerks became furious and threw the pen and paper, storming out. Iwerks accepted a contract with Disney competitor Pat Powers to leave Disney and start an animation studio under his own name. His last Mickey Mouse cartoon was The Cactus Kid. Powers and Disney had an earlier falling-out over Disney's use of the Powers Cinephone sound-on-film systemactually copied by Powers from DeForest Phonofilm without creditin early Disney cartoons.
The Iwerks Studio opened in 1930. Financial backers led by Pat Powers suspected that Iwerks was responsible for much of Disney's early success. However, while animation for a time suffered at Disney from Iwerks' departure, it soon rebounded as Disney brought in talented new young animators.
Despite a contract with MGM to distribute his cartoons, and the introduction of a new character named Flip the Frog, and later Willie Whopper, the Iwerks Studio was never a major commercial success and failed to rival either Disney or Fleischer Studios. Newly-hired animator Fred Kopietz recommended that Iwerks employ a friend from Chouinard Art School, Chuck Jones, who was hired and put to work as a cel washer. The Flip and Willie cartoons were later distributed on the home-movie market by Official Films in the 1940s. From 1933 to 1936, he produced a series of shorts independently distributed, not part of the MGM deal in Cinecolor, named ComiColor Cartoons. The ComiColor series mostly focused on fairy tales with no continuing character or star. Later in the 1940s, this series received home-movie distribution by Castle Films. Cinecolor produced the 16 mm prints for Castle Films with red emulsion on one side and blue emulsion on the other. Later in the 1970s Blackhawk Films released these for home use, but this time using conventional Eastmancolor film stock. They are now in the public domain and are available on VHS and DVD. He also experimented with stop-motion animation in combination with the multiplane camera, and made a short called The Toy Parade, which was never released in public. In 1936, backers withdrew financial support from the Iwerks Studio, and it folded soon after.
In 1937, Leon Schlesinger Productions contracted Iwerks to produce four Looney Tunes shorts starring Porky Pig and Gabby Goat. Iwerks directed the first two shorts, while former Schlesinger animator Robert Clampett was promoted to director and helmed the other two shorts before he and his unit returned to the main Schlesinger lot. Iwerks then did contract work for Screen Gems then Columbia Pictures' cartoon division where he was the director of several of the Color Rhapsodies shorts before returning to work for Disney in 1940.
After his return to the Disney studio, Iwerks mainly worked on developing special visual effects. He is credited as developing the processes for combining live-action and animation used in Song of the South 1946, as well as the xerographic process adapted for cel animation. He also worked at WED Enterprises, now Walt Disney Imagineering, helping to develop many Disney theme park attractions during the 1960s. Iwerks did special effects work outside the studio as well, including his Academy Award nominated achievement for Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds 1963.
Iwerks' most famous work outside creating and animating Mickey Mouse was Flip the Frog from his own studio. According to Chuck Jones, who worked for him, He was the first, if not the first, to give his characters depth and roundness. But he had no concept of humor; he simply wasn't a funny guy.
Death
Iwerks died in 1971 of a heart attack in Burbank, California, aged 70, and his ashes interred in a niche in the Columbarium of Remembrance at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills Cemetery.
Influence and tributes
The Ub Iwerks Award for Technical Achievement, as part of the Annie Awards, is named in his honour.
A rare self-portrait of Iwerks was found in the garbage bin at an animation studio in Burbank. The portrait was saved and is now part of the Animation Archives in Burbank, California.
After the Second World War, much of Iwerks' early animation style was imitated by legendary manga artists Osamu Tezuka and Shōtarō Ishinomori.
In 1989, Iwerks was named a Disney Legend.
In the 1996 The Simpsons episode The Day the Violence Died, a relationship similar to Iwerks' early relationship with Walt Disney is used as the main plot.
A documentary film, The Hand Behind the Mouse: The Ub Iwerks Story, was released in 1999, followed by a book written by Iwerks' granddaughter Leslie Iwerks and John Kenworthy in 2001. The documentary, created by Leslie Iwerks, was released as part of The Walt Disney Treasures, Wave VII series disc two of The Adventures of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit collection.
A feature film released in 2014 Walt Before Mickey, showed how Ub Iwerks, portrayed by Armando Gutierrez, and Walt Disney, portrayed by Thomas Ian Nicholas, co-created Mickey Mouse.
The sixth episode from the second season of Drunk History Hollywood, tells about Ub's work relationship with Disney, with stress on the creation of Mickey Mouse. Iwerks was portrayed in the episode by Tony Hale.

Sybille Gruner born 18 May 1969 was a member of the German womens national handball team between 1989 and 1995. In 1993 the team won the world championships in a very close game against Denmark. One year later, during the European championship final in Berlin, they played the Danish team again and lost.
At the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992 the team had high hopes of a medal but placed a disappointing fourth. In the play-off for the bronze medal they lost against the odds-on favourite, Russia.
Sybille was born in Erfurt in East Germany. She attended Kinder- und Jugendsportschule in Leipzig, a special school for athletically-talented children. At the age of 16 she was a member of the senior SC Leipzig team that won the European cup. Several national titles with SC Leipzig followed.
In 1990 she moved to Leverkusen and played for Bayer 04 Leverkusen for the next 12 years. After the birth of her first daughter and winning the national cup she finished her active career as a handball player. For the next 3 years she worked as co-trainer and, after the birth of her second daughter in 2004, she returned for another year to the coaching bench.
Since 2006 she has been working for TNT Innight. She married the former basketball player Bodo Kuczmann in 2004.

Wake Up with Al is an American morning television program on The Weather Channel. Airing Monday through Fridays live from 5 to 7 a.m. Eastern Time, the program featured a mix of weather forecasts, news headlines and feature segments. It debuted on July 20, 2009 and was cancelled effective October 2, 2015.
Program history
The program was co-hosted by Al Roker, longtime weather anchor of the NBC morning program Today, and The Weather Channel meteorologist Stephanie Abrams. Roker hosted from Studio 6E, one of NBC's newsnooks at 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City; a large touchscreen was used during the broadcast at the studio to illustrate current and predicted weather conditions. MSNBC anchors provided news headlines during a segment produced out of MSNBC's headquarters at Rockefeller Center. In addition to weather forecasts, a celebrity interview was usually aired during the program, in a manner similar to those featured on Today; this has led to criticism from some viewers on the perception that Wake Up with Al focused more on entertainment than providing weather forecasts.
In the event of a pending or ongoing significant weather event occurring that day such as a severe weather outbreak, winter storm or a hurricane threatening the United States, a special two-hour live edition of Wake Up with Al occasionally aired from 5-7 a.m. Eastern effectively pushing back the start time of its lead-ins previously First Outlook, First Forecast and Weather Center Live by one hour. The 10 a.m. ET rebroadcast was originally replaced or preempted with a special live telecast; the rebroadcast was also pre-empted in such cases by an additional hour of America's Morning Headquarters. A special edition of Wake Up with Al also sometimes aired on weekend mornings from 57 a.m. Eastern during significant weather events.
On April 16, 2012, the show was relaunched with the introduction of a new opening title sequence and graphics package. In addition, Abrams would begin co-hosting the program from the New York City studio for a three-month trial run, which would become permanent should it be successful. In late July 2012, Abrams returned to The Weather Channel's Atlanta studio as Roker traveled to London to cover the 2012 Summer Olympics for Today and The Weather Channel with Jim Cantore also covering the event for the channel; by this point, she and Mike Bettes resumed co-hosting the entire three-hour broadcast of Your Weather Today. After Roker returned to New York City following the Olympics, Abrams moved back to the New York City studio full-time starting in August 2012 in effect, resulting in a permanent split city format for Your Weather Today now America's Morning Headquarters, which Abrams had also co-anchored since 2009. By this point, Richard Lui anchored the weather news headlines segment from MSNBC out of the Wake Up with Al studio.
On November 12, 2012, as part of a massive programming revamp at The Weather Channel, Wake Up with Al was expanded to 90 minutes, running from 5:307 a.m. ET. With the expansion, the program once again debuted a new graphics package after six months. On November 6, 2014, as part of another programming revamp, Wake Up with Al once again expanded its timeslot, this time to two hours, running from 57 a.m. ET due to a hike in ratings. On November 17, 2014, the 1011 a.m. ET rebroadcast was cancelled. It was replaced by an expanded Weather Center Live, co-hosted by Chris Warren and Jen Carfagno.
On September 1, 2015, it was announced that Wake Up with Al would be cancelled. Its final episode aired on October 2, 2015. Network officials cited high production costs as a factor, owing to being the only program on The Weather Channel that was produced outside of Atlanta, as well as plans to focus back towards live weather coverage as its core programming. AMHQ would be extended to fill its former timeslot, while co-host Stephanie Abrams would move to Atlanta to continue her role on the program, displacing Sam Champion who now holds managing editor responsibilities at The Weather Channel, while Al Roker will continue to be involved with The Weather Channel as a contributor during breaking news events.
Notable on-air staff
Wake Up with Al was anchored by Al Roker and Stephanie Abrams, with Reynolds Wolf as a segment correspondent and fill-in and news reports from MSNBC anchors Richard Lui, Dara Brown, Frances Rivera and Alex Witt.

Bernard Charles Henri Clavel May 29, 1923 October 5, 2010 was a French writer.
Clavel was born in Lons-le-Saunier. From a humble background, he was largely self-educated. He began working as a pastry cook apprentice when he was 14 years old. He later had several jobs until he began working as a journalist in the 1950s. After the war, he worked for the social insurance, and he could not dedicate himself to literature until 1964. He has lived and worked in many places and lived in Savoy until his death.

Joseph Maurice Pambet 13 March 1854 6 January 1916 was a French army general. Volunteering for service in 1872 Pambet graduated from the Ecole Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr and served with a number of line infantry and light infantry regiments, reaching the rank of captain by 1885. Having attended the École Militaire he became an adjutant to his regiment and then an aide to brigade and divisional generals. Returning to regimental service as a chef de bataillon Pambet began a nine-year tour of service in Tunisia from 1896.
Leaving Tunisia in 1905, Pambet gained his first command, that of an infantry regiment, before becoming military governor of Marseille. A number of brigade and regional commands followed before he was appointed commander of the 22nd Infantry Division and a général de division in 1912. Pambet held command of the 22nd Division at the outbreak of the First World War and led it into many of the early battles. After the division's poor performance at a river crossing during the First Battle of Picardy, however, Pambet was relieved of his command by General Foch for his lack of impetus. Pambet was placed in reserve and made assistant to the commander of the 12th Military Region. It was in this capacity that he was acting when he was killed in a car accident at Plaisance, Dordogne on 6 January 1916.
Early career
Joseph Maurice Pambet was born on 13 March 1854 to Pierre Eduard Elisa Pambet and Mathilde Baudot Pambet at Commercy, Meuse. His father worked for the land registry at Ligny-en-Barrois. Pambet volunteered for army service at the town hall in Langres on 15 November 1872, at the age of 18. Nine days later he was appointed a cadet at the Ecole Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr. Pambet received promotion to senior cadet on 5 April 1874 and was commissioned as a sous lieutenant in the 10th Battalion of the Chasseurs à Pied on 1 October 1874, having ranked 122nd out of his class of 304 at the academy.
Pambet was promoted to lieutenant and transferred to the 113th Line Infantry Regiment on 11 November 1879. He subsequently transferred to the 3rd Line Infantry Regiment on 10 March 1883 and was promoted to captain in the 26th Battalion of the Chasseurs à Pied on 18 March 1885. He married Marie Emilie Comparet on 7 October 1885.
Pambet attended the École Militaire between 1 November 1886 and 11 November 1888, and ranked 30th in his class of 72. Returning to his battalion, he served as adjutant between 25 May 1888 and 30 November 1888, when he became aide to the general commanding the 58th Infantry Brigade. Pambet was transferred to the 111th Infantry Regiment on 7 March 1889, to the 140th Infantry Regiment on 24 January 1890 and back to the 111th on 22 March 1890. Seven days later, Pambet became aide to the general commanding the 29th Infantry Division.
Pambet was transferred to the 141st Infantry Regiment on 22 March 1893 and promoted to chef de bataillon in the 3rd Infantry Regiment on 24 December 1894, before transferring to the 4th Zouave Regiment on 30 December 1895. He served on campaign in Tunisia from 30 January 1896. Pambet was appointed a chevalier of the Legion of Honour on 29 December 1896. He was appointed to the staff of the Division of Occupation in Tunisia on 29 1897, a role he occupied when promoted to lieutenant-colonel on 3 November 1900. He became chief of staff of the division on 16 October 1901. Pambet was a commander of the Tunisian Order of Glory and held the golden palms of the Ordre des Palmes Académiques.
First commands
Pambet was promoted to colonel and received his first command, that of the 13th Infantry Regiment, on 24 June 1905. He left Tunisia on 9 July that year. He was appointed to be simultaneously commander of the defences of Marseille, governor of Marseille and commander of the region of Marseille from 23 March 1909. He was promoted to général de brigade on 21 June 1909 and appointed an officier of the Legion of Honour on 12 July 1910.
On 29 November 1911 Pambet was appointed commander of the 18th Infantry Brigade, stationed at Blois, and simultaneously held command of the military region of Blois and Orléans. He assumed command of the 22nd Infantry Division and the regions of Lorient, Vannes, Brest and Quimper on 21 December 1912 and was promoted général de division on 31 October 1913.
First World War
Upon the general mobilisation of French forces in August 1914 Pambet's division formed part of the 11th Military Region. Under his command the division moved through the Forest of Argonne to Croix-au-Bois near Grandpré, Ardennes. where it engaged the German forces at the Battle of the Ardennes on 22 August 1914.
Withdrawing to Sedan, Pambet and his division fought at the Battle of the Meuse and the First Battle of the Marne. They were also engaged in the Battle of the Marshes of Saint-Gond and the First Battle of the Aisne in September 1914. Moving to Albert, Somme, the division was immediately engaged in the First Battle of Picardy on 27 September 1914. Following the battle, on 29 September, General Foch relieved Pambet of his command due to his lack of impetus. Foch made it clear that he had been trying to have Pambet removed from the 22nd Division for some time but that the time taken for the division to cross the River Aisne at Picardy had been the last straw.
Pambet was without a position in the French army on the unattached list from 30 September until 26 October, when he was placed on the reserve list of officers. He was appointed an assistant to the commander of the 12th Military Region, at Périgueux on 14 November. Pambet was killed on active service in a car accident at 3pm on 6 January 1916 at Plaisance, Dordogne.

John Edvin Vikström, born October 1, 1931 in Kronoby, Finland, Archbishop emeritus of Finland, was born to parents Edvin and Hilma Vikström. In 1957 he married teacher Birgitta Vikström b. Hellberg who died in 1994. John Vikström has three children. His brother Erik Vikström and his son Björn Vikström are both his successors as bishop of Porvoo/Borgå.
Archbishop of Turku and Finland 19821998
As the 53rd successor of St. Henry, Vikström's era was far reaching. During his term as the Archbishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland the Church has carried out many reforms. The Church has been given a new Bible translation and a new hymnbook, the ordained ministry has been opened to women, church law has been reformed and liturgical reform has been undertaken. The Church of Finland has also been active ecumenically.
Archbishop emeritus John Vikström continues to be a popular speaker in academia and business.
John Vikström has also publicly embraced the idea of a basic income as a solution to social exclusion:
In this way, even working a little would be possible and would make sense. The system would not push people into idleness and divide citizens into winners and losers as cruelly as is the case now. I look at the question from the point of view of human dignity. A basic income paid to everyone would be less humiliating than the present benefit system can sometimes become. Basic income would send every citizen the following encouraging and motivating message: 'You are important. You are not a burden, but a resource. You are important by being a human being for others. Whatever work you do, in whatever situations, whether or not you are paid to do it, you still contribute to building our society.'
The archbishop has placed the chairmanship of the Church's Social-Ethical Forum as his priority. The forum's aim is to resolve problems in the status of the elderly and poor in Finland.
An acclaimed author of numerous books and papers, his correspondence with Jörn Donner was voted as Book of the Year in 2002.

Spherical neutron polarimetry SNP is a form of neutron polarimetry that measures the polarization of neutrons both before and after scattering. It uses controlled magnetic fields to manipulate the spin of the neutrons, which are then separated by the Meissner effect, allowing polarization to be measured.

__NOTOC__
Tachisme alternative spelling: Tachism, derived from the French word tache, stain is a French style of abstract painting popular in the 1940s and 1950s. The term is said to have been first used with regards to the movement in 1951. It is often considered to be the European equivalent to abstract expressionism, although there are stylistic differences American abstract expressionism tended to be more aggressively raw than tachisme. It was part of a larger postwar movement known as Art Informel or Informel, which abandoned geometric abstraction in favour of a more intuitive form of expression, similar to action painting. Another name for Tachism is Abstraction lyrique related to American Lyrical Abstraction. COBRA is also related to Tachisme, as is Japan's Gutai group.
After World War II the term School of Paris often referred to Tachisme, the European equivalent of American abstract expressionism. Important proponents were Jean-Paul Riopelle, Wols, Jean Dubuffet, Pierre Soulages, Nicolas de Staël, Hans Hartung, Gérard Schneider, Serge Poliakoff, Georges Mathieu and Jean Messagier, among several others. See list of artists below.
According to Chilvers, the term tachisme was first used in this sense in about 1951 the French critics Charles Estienne and Pierre Guéguen have each been credited with coining it and it was given wide currency by [French critic and painter] Michel Tapié in his book Un Art autre 1952.
Tachisme was a reaction to Cubism and is characterized by spontaneous brushwork, drips and blobs of paint straight from the tube, and sometimes scribbling reminiscent of calligraphy.
Tachisme is closely related to Informalism or Art Informel, which, in its 1950s French art-critical context, referred not so much to a sense of informal art as a lack or absence of form itselfnon-formal or un-form-ulatedand not a simple reduction of formality or formalness. Art Informel was more about the absence of premeditated structure, conception or approach sans cérémonie than a mere casual, loosened or relaxed art procedure.

In meteorology, Dines' compensation states that net mass convergence into a given column of air must be balanced by a net mass divergence from the same column of air. The implication is that rising air in the atmosphere must be balanced by equal sinking or subsiding air.
Dines' compensation applies especially in mesoscale circulations i.e. supercells and in macroscale and mesoscale tropical circulations. For instance, it is not uncommon to see anti-cyclonic cirrus outflow from a hurricane in visible satellite imagery.
Dines' compensation applies differently in the mid-latitudes, as upper-level highs are not necessarily associated with surface lows. Jet streaks and other upper level features, however, can contribute or support lower level convergence/divergence.

The DuWoong wetland is a coastal sand dune in South Korea. The DuWoong wetland is located in the south of the Sinduri coastal sand dune at Sinduri beach, Wonbukmeon, Taean, South Chungcheong Do. Its coastal length is 3.4 km and its width is 500 m, which is relatively wide. The Sinduri coastal sand dune was formed by sands carried to the coast many years ago.
Characteristics
The DuWoong wetland is a typical sand dune wetland. The term sand dune wetland denotes wetlands formed by sand dunes, but the DuWoong wetland is the only one which has the form of a lake with water. Unlike other wetlands, the DuWoong wetlands base is formed with sand, and it does not allow sea water to penetrate even though it is located at the seashore. This distinction results from underground water which forms a large fresh water lake that prevents sea water from penetrating through to the coastal sand dune.
Importance to people
Although sand dunes may be considered useless land, in fact the region acts as a bridge connecting coastal ecology and inland ecology. It also protects the coastline and farmland from hurricanes and storm surges. People feel relaxed while watching the sand dunes. At sunset, seagulls flying over the sand dunes give mental comfort to visitors, and the location is recognized as one of the eight most beautiful scenic spots in Teaan.
The DuWoong wetland is designated a National Treasure of South Korea by the Cultural Heritage Administration of Korea and also as an Ecosystem Preserved Area by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. In 2002, the Ministry of Environment designated DuWoong wetland as a Wetland Protection Area. In December 2007, the DuWoong wetland was designated a Ramsar wetland.

She said she did not give the kidnappers the remaining when they failed to present proof that Jee was still alive. The house helper was released the day after she and Jee were kidnapped.
Philippine authorities held an investigation into Jee's death, the result of which was relayed to South Korean authorities. The result of the investigation stated that Jee died due to strangulation, on the same day he was kidnapped, within the grounds of Camp Crame of the PNP. On January 17, 2017, the National Bureau of Investigation NBI went to a funeral parlor in Bagbaguin, Caloocan where the body of Jee Ick-Joo was believed to have been brought. His remains were cremated and his ashes were flushed down the toilet.
Jee Ick-Joo's wife said that eight armed men, including SPO3 Ricky Santa Isabel, who is linked to the PNP Anti-Illegal Drugs Group, were involved in the kidnapping. She alleged that the group took their personal property, including jewelry and passports. Jee's househelper was also named as a suspect by the Angeles city police after she was found to have used a false name and been working at Jee's household for only two days. The house helper is the main witness in the case.
On February 3, according to PNP Chief Ronald Dela Rosa, unscrupulous members of the PNP and NBI could be behind the killing of Jee. Dela Rosa told the reporters at Camp Crame that the picture is getting clearer and hopefully, the truth will soon come out.
The suspects of the kidnapping and killing, including Supt. Rafael Dumlao III, SPO4 Roy Villegas, Jerry Omlang, Gerardo Santiago SPO3 Ricky Sta. Isabel, were arrested in 2017. In a 29 January 2017 late evening press conference, Dumlao was named by Rodrigo Duterte to be the mastermind in the abduction and murder and was given 24 hours to surrender. Four of them, except Sta. Isabel, entered not guilty pleas to the charges filed before Judge Irineo Pangilinan Jr. at the Regional Trial Court Branch 58 here on 31 May 2019. Judge Pangilinan ordered a plea of not guilty be entered into the court record for Sta. Isabel. Being detained in 2018 inside the jail facility of the National Bureau of Investigation NBI in Manila Sta. Isabel and Omlang and Camp Crame Dumlao, the suspects requested to be transferred to the facility of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology BJMP in Angeles City, Pampanga on the grounds of threats to their safety. In May 2019, the Angeles City Pampanga Regional Trial Court RTC amended the hold departure order HDO it issued against the alleged mastermind Dumlao to cover all airports and seaports.
Reaction
Philippines
PNP Chief Ronald dela Rosa offered to resign following the incident, but President Rodrigo Duterte did not accept the offer. Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella stated that Duterte did not accept the offer of resignation because he believed that dela Rosa can't be faulted for the killing since the suspected perpetrators are not part of his team, this while acknowledging that there is indeed corruption in the institution. At the time of the kidnapping, Dela Rosa was in Beijing with the President for the state visit.
House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez called for the resignation of dela Rosa over the incident to spare the Duterte administration from further embarrassment but revoked the call after Duterte said dela Rosa did not need to resign.
President Duterte apologized to South Korea for the incident, saying those responsible will be held accountable, additionally remarking that if imprisoned it would be best for them to escape, implying that he would have their heads sent to South Korea after being killed in prison.
Members of South Korean community and sympathizers offered flowers and candles inside Camp Crame.
South Korea
The South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned officials of the Philippine Embassy in South Korea to convey their deep concern over the killing of Jee Ick-Joo; no diplomatic protest was filed, however. The South Korean government, through its ministry, also called for the quick resolution of the case so that the perpetrators can be held accountable and to increase measures to ensure the safety of South Korean nationals in the Philippines. The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs are cooperating with their South Korean counterparts over the case.
South Korea, through its ambassador to the Philippines Jae-Shin Kim, accepted an apology by President Duterte on January 26, 2017, but reiterated calls for the quick resolution of the case. The South Korean government expressed that they are making efforts to control the damage and calm down the feeling of the people following the incident. Acting South Korean President Hwang Kyo-ahn also accepted an apology conveyed by Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo, who traveled to Seoul to meet with Hwang and personally convey the apology to him.

Wanzhou District is Chongqing's second most populated urban core area on the upper reaches of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in China. It is currently governed as a district of Chongqing Municipality, bordering Sichuan to the northwest and Hubei to the southeast. It was formerly known as Wanxian or Wan County . Prior to Chongqing's formation as a direct-controlled municipality, Wanzhou was part of Sichuan province. The urban core of Wanzhou is away from Chongqing's city proper.
Wanzhou literally means myriad-prefecture, where a myriad rivers converge and a myriad traders gather . Due to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, 47 of Wanzhou's old urban area will be underwater by the time the reservoir is filled. Buildings in the submerged area have been torn down and new ones rebuilt on higher ground.
History
The district was part of Wanxian Prefecture , then the prefectural Wanxian City . It was renamed to Wanzhou in late 1990s.
It was part of Quren County of Ba Commandery in the Qin Dynasty. It became Yangqu County in 216 the Eastern Han Dynasty. In 230 the Shu-Han Kingdom, it was renamed to Nanpu ; in 553 the Western Wei dynasty, to Yuquan ; in 557 Northern Zhou Dynasty, to Anxiang ; in 584, to Wanchuan ; and in 598 Sui Dynasty, to Nanpu again.
In 619 Tang Dynasty, Nanpu Commandery was established. In 625, the name was changed to Pu Prefecture , and in 634, to Wan Prefecture . In 1373 Yuan Dynasty, Wan was demoted to a county .
In the 19th century, it was known in English as Wanhsien and Wan County. In 1935, it became Wanxian Prefecture .

The entire Wanxian City was merged into Chongqing on December 20, 1997. The merge necessitated the abolishment of Wanxian City and creation of Wanxian District and Wanxian Migration Development Area . Wanxian City's three districts were converted to administrative committees , abbreviated of Wanxian District. The migration development area included the counties formerly in Wanxian City, except Liangping and Chengkou, which were administered by Chongqing directly.
On May 22, 1998, the State Council approved that the two areas named Wanxian were both renamed to Wanzhou. The migration development area later dissolved and its counties were directly controlled by Chongqing. On July 19, 2000, the district's administrative committees were changed to migration development areas.

Karawane is a composition for chorus and orchestra by the Finnish composer Esa-Pekka Salonen. The work was jointly commissioned by the Tonhalle Orchester Zürich, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic with support from the philanthropist Marie-Josée Kravis, the Bamberg Symphony, and the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra. It was first performed by the Tonhalle Orchester Zürich and the Zürcher Sing-Akademie conducted by Lionel Bringuier in the Tonhalle, Zürich, on September 10, 2014. The piece is set to the eponymous poem by the German author and Dadaist Hugo Ball.
Composition
Karawane has a duration of approximately 28 minutes and is composed in two numbered parts. Each part is subdivided into six connected and unnamed movements.
Background
Karawane was composed between January 2013 and July 2014. Salonen had long intended to write a piece for chorus and orchestra, but delayed its composition due to scheduling conflicts and a lack of appropriate text. The opportunity finally arose when Salonen received a commission from a consortium of international orchestras. Knowing the premiere would be held in Zürich, the composer decided to connect his piece to the city's history, particularly the origins of Dadaism in 1916. Salonen wrote in the score program notes, Soon I settled for perhaps the best known Dada poem or 'Lautpoesie', 'Sound Poetry' as it was called by Hugo Ball, the founder of Dada, author of the Dada Manifesto, and the central figure in all the activities of Cabaret Voltaire, the first forum of the early dadaists.
Instrumentation
The work is scored for an SATB chorus and a large orchestra consisting of three flutes 2nd doubling alto flute; 3rd doubling piccolo, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet doubling 3rd clarinet, contrabass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets 3rd doubling piccolo trumpet, three trombones, tuba, timpani, four percussionists, harp, piano doubling celesta, and strings.
Reception
Karawane has been praised by music critics. Reviewing the world premiere, Mark Swed of the Los Angeles Times called it a mischievous, madcap 30-minute work for orchestra and wrote, Karawane channels Salonen's inner caveman who knew?, treating the text of made-up words the opening is: 'jolifant bambla o falli bambla' as a springboard for a circus of styles and emotions. Written in a double cycle, the second part intensifying the first, the score propels from one entrancing dreamlike state to another, from one extreme nocturnal quiescence to another a wild Javanese monkey chant. After hearing a later performance by Los Angeles Philharmonic, Swed called it richer, lusher, livelier and all the more unhesitatingly in-your-face.
Reviewing a performance of the work by the New York Philharmonic, Zachary Woolfe of The New York Times described it as the product of a mature master, working with more confidence and patience on a larger canvas. The choruss hypnotic incantations have the undergirding of a glistening orchestral landscape, sometimes swaying, sometimes blooming. He continued:
Jay Nordlinger of The New Criterion was slightly more critical of the piece, however, remarking, I found Karawane a bit tiresome. But perhaps the problem was my lack of patience, rather than a lack of imagination on the composer's part. In a program note of his own, Gilbert called Salonen's work 'deliciously whimsical while also being fully formed and rigorous.' I'll buy that. And I'll definitely buy Salonen, who is a credit to this musical age. Despite calling it entertaining and grandiose, George Grella of the New York Classical Review similarly observed that the narrative feel of Karawane loses out to density over a 30-minute duration. He added, There are entertaining, colorful bits of music that seem inspired by other composers, like Ennio Morricone, Philip Glass, and John Adams. In particular, sections seem like responses to Harmonium. Salonen embraces clichés with a knowing wink, but they add bigness to a piece that is already overblown.

Computer.com was a short-lived dot-com company founded in 1999. After spending half of its $7 million in venture capital on ads during Super Bowl XXXIV, it was sold to Office Depot in 2000. It is significant as a case study for business historians and others interested in the dot-com bubble.
History
Prior to 1999, the domain computer.com was owned by Gary Kremen, who sold it for $500,000. In 1999, Mike Ford and Mike 22Zappy22 Zapolin founded Computer.com as a general-purpose website to teach people about various aspects of computing. After raising $7 million in venture capital, Computer.com partnered with an advertising agency to create three Super Bowl advertisements six weeks before the game started. Initially, they were dismayed, as due to their late entry, their time slot was located at the end of the game, at the two-minute warning. However, thanks to the closely contested game, the advertisement became one of the highest-rated of all time.
After Super Bowl XXXIV, the company secured an additional $2 million in a second round of funding. In late 2000, the company was sold to Office Depot.
Operation
It is unclear whether Computer.com ever turned a profit or delivered any kind of actual service to consumers.

Matonabbee 1782 was a Chipewyan hunter and leader. He was also a trader and a Chipewyan representative at Fort Prince of Wales. He travelled with Chief Akaitcho's older brother, Keskarrah. After his father died, Matonabbee spent some time living at Prince of Wales Fort where he learned to speak English.
He acted as a guide for Samuel Hearne during his exploration from 1770 to 1772. On July 14, 1771, while on an Arctic overland journey, he, his followers, and a group of Yellowknives, Dene known as Copper Indians, who had joined them at Clowey, massacred a group of over 20 unsuspecting Inuit Eskimo; this would be known as the Bloody Falls massacre.
After the death of many Chipewyans during a smallpox epidemic of 1782 and the defeat of Fort Prince of Wales by the French, Matonabbee became depressed after the destruction of the Churchill Factory 1782, which had been the primary source of his fortune and fame. He had been the main middleman between the various tribes of the Cree and the Hudson's Bay Company. He then committed suicide by hanging himself, thus being the earliest record of a northern First Nations to kill himself.

Paul Bevoir born 20 May 1960 in Islington, London, England is an English pop/rock songwriter and musician. He is probably best known as a member of the 1980s English pop band The Jetset, who were associated with the British Mod revival.
Early life
Paul grew up in Islington, London, England, with a passion for pop music and pop culture. He attended Woodberry Down Comprehensive School, Manor House, North London, at the same time as the members of ska band Bad Manners, who were formed at the school, and after performing in a series of local bands himself, such as the Double Agents and the Cyclones, Bevoir formed The Jetset with friend and ice cream man Melvyn J Taub in July 1981.
The Jetset
While Taub was predominantly the voice of The Jetset, Bevoir was the principle songwriter and along with record producer Paul Bultitude, a partner in the Dance Network, the band's record label. Along with Angus Nanan and Paul Bonin, the band played their first gig at the Rock Garden in Covent Garden, London, in 1981 Bonin departed the group in 1985 and was eventually replaced by Mickey Dias. The Jetset went on to release five albums before their acrimonious demise in 1988.
During his tenure with The Jetset, Bevoir temporarily joined Mari Wilson's Wilsations as a backing vocalist in 1981 before leaving to focus on his own music. He also found time to produce other acts, working alongside Edward Ball to produce The Moment's 1985 debut album, The Work Gets Done.
Smalltown Parade
When The Jetset disbanded in 1988, Bevoir formed a new group Smalltown Parade, releasing three singles in the UK and two albums, which were released in Japan only. The first UK single Sunday Way of Life was released on Captain Sensible's Deltic Records in 1990. The following year, And We Dance On was released as a single.
Solo career
In 1985, while The Jetset were still an ongoing concern, Bevoir recorded his own first solo debut album, The Happiest Days of Your Life. Just prior to his debut album, Bevoir wrote and performed the song It's Gotta Stop Somewhere, which was included on two LPs released by the Compact Organization record label.
Bevoir's second solo album of entirely original material, Dumb Angel, was released in March 1994 on Tangerine Records in the UK and Polystar Records in Japan. After the success of his song Tadaima, recorded by the Japanese duo Puffy selling 500,000 copies in 1997, Bevoir began work on his next solo album In Days of Wonder. This album was finally completed in April 2008 and released in the UK on Accident Records.
Songwriter
Bevoir's songs have been recorded by many other artists, including Edward Ball, Mari Wilson, Dee Walker, Puffy, The Candees, Sarah Brookes, Thereza Bazar, The Eddies, The Go-Bangs, Oserockets, The Gonks, Jeremy Morris and Roy Hamilton. In 1985 Time Machine, a song that Bevoir had written for the band of an old friend, was released twice in the UK by Paul Hardcastle, under the band names Direct Drive and First Light. In 1995 a compilation of cover versions of his songs was released by Polystar Records in Japan. He also contributed to the 2005 debut album by Rinaldi Sings, co-writing one song for the album in addition to tracks released as b-sides.
In 2009 Twist Records released, Do You Wanna Be in the Show: A Pop Tribute to The Jetset, featuring 17 artists covering Bevoir's compositions, including The Risk, The Spring Collection and Cola Jet Set
In 2010, Bevoir began writing lyrics for songs composed with Spanish singer and musician :es:Guille Milkyway for the animated children's TV series Jelly Jamm which is currently being screened on the Cartoon Network channel Cartoonito and Channel 5 in the UK and another 180 countries around the world. In July 2013, the Bevoir/Milkyway composed song Holding Hands Around The World won the award for 'Best Song in a Children's TV Show' at the annual Festival El Chupete Awards in Madrid, Spain.
In 2016, Bevoir teamed-up once again with songwriter :es:Guille Milkyway to co-compose the theme song and four other songs for a new animated TV series PINY: Institute of New York.
Additional work
In addition to his writing and performing credits, Bevoir also makes his living as a CD sleeve designer, and his work has graced the covers of reissues by Elvis Presley, Ronnie Lane, The Kinks, Family, Lindisfarne, Jeff Beck, Honeybus and Fleetwood Mac. He initially gained experience designing the covers for all of the original Jetset albums.

Charles Garvice 24 August 1850 1 March 1920 was a prolific British writer of over 150 romance novels, who also used the female pseudonym Caroline Hart. He was a popular author in the UK, the United States and translated around the world. He was the most successful novelist in England, according to Arnold Bennett in 1910. He published novels selling over seven million copies worldwide by 1914, and since 1913 he was selling 1.75 million books annually, a pace which he maintained at least until his death. Despite his enormous success, he was poorly received by literary critics, and is almost forgotten today.
Biography
Personal life
Charles Andrew Garvice was born on 24 August 1850 in or around Stepney, London, England, son of Mira Winter and Andrew John Garvice, a bricklayer. In 1872, he married Elizabeth Jones, and had two sons and six daughters. Garvice suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on 21 February 1920 and was in a coma eight days until his death on 1 March 1920.
Until recently not much has been known about Garvice's personal life. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography said Little .. is known of his family origins and personal life. Obscurity envelops [him]. John Sutherland in the Companion to Victorian Literature said Little is known of Garvice's life.. In 2010, English freelance author and editor Steve Holland did an exhaustive search of baptismal records, genealogy databases and census records to build a picture of his early life.
Garvice is buried in Richmond Cemetery. W. Somerset Maugham, who met him at The Garrick, described Garvice as a modest, unassuming, well-mannered man. I am convinced that when he sat down to turn out another of his innumerable books, he wrote as one inspired, with all his heart and soul.
Writing career
Garvice got his professional start as a journalist. His first novel, Maurice Durant 1875 was marginally successful in serialized form, but when published as a novel, it did not sell well. He concluded it was too long and too expensive for popular sales - this early experience taught him about the business side of writing. He would spend the next 23 years writing serialized stories for the periodicals of George Munro, who later bound and sold them as novels. Titles included A Modern Juliet, Woven in Fate's Loom, On Love's Altar, His Love So True, A Relenting Fate. Just a Girl 1898 was very popular in the US and its success brought him attention in the UK - from then on every novel he published became a best-seller in England. By 1913 Garvice was selling 1.75 million books annually, a pace which he maintained at least until his death. Garvice published over 150 novels selling over seven million copies worldwide by 1914. Just a Girl was filmed in 1916. According to Garvice's agent Eveleigh Nash, Garvice's books were as numerous in the shops and on the railway bookstalls as the leaves of Vallombrosa. He was the most successful novelist in England, according to Arnold Bennett in 1910.
In 1904, capitalizing on his wealth as a best-selling author, Garvice bought a farm estate in Devon, England, where he wanted to work the land in the genuine, dirty, Devonshire fashion. Like the characters in his novels, he romantically dreamed of a life happily ever after, lord of a country manor. He wrote about it in his one non-fiction book A Farm in Creamland.
Critical reception
Garvice's novels were formulaic predictable melodramas. They usually told the story of a virtuous woman overcoming obstacles and achieving a happy ending. He could crank out 12 or more novels a year, but Little beyond the particulars of the heroines' hair color differentiates one from another, says modern critic Laura Sewell Matter, who found his stories boring. Likewise contemporary critics were almost unanimous in their disregard, but he was hard to ignore because of his best-selling status. As the London Times wrote in his obituary:
It cannot be said that his work was of a high order; but criticism is disregarded by his own frank attitude towards the possibility of the permanence of his literary reputation. His answer to a captious friend who seemed solicitous to disabuse him on this score was merely to point with a gesture to the crowds on the seaside beach reading. All my books, he said: they are all reading my latest. It was a true estimate.
In contemplating why his novels were so popular, Laura Sewell Matter said:
[Garvice] endured more public ridicule [by critics] than any decent human being deserves. What [Thomas] Moult and other critics failed to acknowledge, but what Garvice knew and honored, are the ways so many of us live emotionally attenuated states, during times of peace as well as war. Stories like the one Garvice wrote may be low art, may not be art at all. They may offer consolation or distraction rather than provocation and insight. But many people find provocation enough in real life, and so they read for something else. One cannot have contempt for Garvice without also having some level of contempt for common humanity, for those readers - not all of whom can be dismissed as simpletons - who may not consciously believe in what they reading, but who read anyway because they know: a story can be a salve.

Butterfly Caught is a song on English trip hop collective Massive Attack's fourth full-length album, 100th Window. It was released as the second single from this album on 16 June 2003. The song was written by Neil Davidge and Robert Del Naja, the latter of whom performs vocals on the song.
A video for the song was made, featuring Del Naja in a series of body horror sequences where his body is transformed into that which resembles a Death's-head hawkmoth while a live moth flutters its wings in time to the lighting in the room, which themselves flash in time to the beat of the song. The video was directed by South African Daniel Levi.

A roadhouse US or stopping house Canada is a commercial establishment typically built on or near a major road or highway that services passing travellers. The word's meaning varies slightly by country. The historical equivalent was often known as a coaching inn, providing food, drink, and rest to people and horses.
North America
The roadhouse or road house acts as a restaurant, serving meals, especially in the evenings. It has a bar serving beer or hard liquor and features music, dancing, and sometimes gambling. Most roadhouses are located along highways or roads in rural areas or on the outskirts of towns. Early roadhouses provided lodging for travelers, but with the advent of faster means of transport than walking, horseback riding, or horse-drawn carriages, few now offer rooms to let. Roadhouses have a slightly disreputable image, similar to honky tonks. This type of roadhouse has been portrayed in movies such as Road House 1948, The Wild One, Easy Rider, and Road House 1989.
Historically, roadhouses sprang up when significant numbers of people began to move to the frontier. In Western Canada they were known as stopping houses. From the 1890s in Alaska and the Yukon, beginning with the gold rush, roadhouses were checkpoints where dog drivers mushers, or dog sledders, horse-driven sleighs, and people on snowshoes, skis, or walking would stop overnight for shelter and a hot meal. Remains of a Klondike Gold Rush roadhouse can be seen today south of Carmacks, Yukon along the Klondike Highway. One built in 1902 is the Black Rapids Roadhouse; another still operating is Rika's Landing Roadhouse.
Australia
In Australia a roadhouse is a filling station service station on a major intercity route. A roadhouse sells fuel and provides maintenance and repairs for cars, but it also has an attached restaurant more like a café or diner to sell and serve hot food to travellers. Roadhouses usually also serve as truck stops, providing space for parking of semi-trailer trucks and buses, as well as catering to travellers in private cars. In remote areas such as the Nullarbor Plain, a roadhouse also offers motel-style accommodation and camping facilities.
Britain
In Britain, wayside lodgings of this type were called coaching inns. As in other countries, they were originally a place along the road for people travelling on foot or by horse to stay at night, but today they are often restaurants or pubs without lodging. However, many coaching inns, especially those in rural counties, have kept their accommodation to become bed & breakfasts or country hotels. With the advent of popular travel by motor car in the 1920s and 1930s, a new type of roadside pub emerged, often located on the newly constructed arterial roads and bypasses. They were large establishments offering meals, refreshment and accommodation to motorists and parties travelling by charabanc. The largest pubs boasted facilities such as tennis courts and swimming pools. Their popularity ended with the outbreak of the Second World War when recreational road travel became impossible, and the advent of post-war drink driving legislation prevented their full recovery.
Spain
Post houses casas de postas were established in major towns and along principal highways. Post masters provided fresh horses, and sometimes carriages and over-night accommodation for use by Royal officers called Postillones, who were uniformed guides authorised to conduct passengers, goods and messages along specific routes.

Raphael Torres born October 8, 1981 is a Canadian former professional ice hockey left winger. He was drafted by the New York Islanders fifth overall in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft. He played in the National Hockey League NHL for the New York Islanders, Edmonton Oilers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Buffalo Sabres, Vancouver Canucks, Phoenix Coyotes and San Jose Sharks.
Torres was drafted out of the Ontario Hockey League OHL, where he played three seasons with the Brampton Battalion. He was a two-time OHL Second Team All-Star during his junior career. Beginning in 200102, he turned professional with the Islanders' American Hockey League AHL affiliate. He spent the better part of two seasons in the AHL before the Islanders traded him to the Oilers in 2003. He played five seasons in Edmonton, becoming a full-time NHL player with the club. He recorded career numbers as an Oiler in 200506, while also helping them to the Stanley Cup Finals that year. In the 2008 off-season, he was dealt to the Blue Jackets, where he played the better part of two seasons. After a brief stint with the Sabres in 200910, he signed with the Canucks and played one year for them where they reached the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals. Torres then signed with the Phoenix Coyotes and then with the San Jose Sharks. Internationally, he represented Canada at the 2001 World Junior Championships, winning a bronze medal.
Torres, a physical, forechecking forward with offensive capabilities, was suspended five times for illegal hits to opponents' heads. He received the fourth-longest suspension in the history of the NHL at the time for his hit to the head of Marian Hossa in Game 3 of the 2012 Western Conference Quarterfinals. In October 2015, Torres received a 41-game half-season suspension for an illegal hit on Anaheim player Jakob Silfverberg. This is the longest suspension ever given by the NHL for a hit on another player. Torres retired from the NHL in November 2016.
Playing career
Brampton Battalion
Torres played major junior with the Brampton Battalion of the Ontario Hockey League OHL, beginning in 199899. He scored at a point-per-game pace in his rookie season with 35 goals and 62 points, second in team-scoring to Jason Spezza. Improving to a team-leading 43 goals and 91 points in his second junior season, he finished seventh in league scoring and was named to the OHL Second All-Star Team. Qualifying for the playoffs, the Battalion were eliminated in the first round. Torres added seven points in the six-game series.
Going into the 2000 NHL Entry Draft as a top prospect, Torres was selected in the first round, fifth overall, by the New York Islanders. The NHL Central Scouting Bureau described him as a player with some forechecking and offensive skills. The Islanders obtained the fifth overall pick used to acquire Torres from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for goaltender Kevin Weekes and defensive prospect Kristian Kudroc.
At the time of the draft, Islanders general manager Mike Milbury told reporters Torres' chances of immediately joining the NHL was questionable. Following his first NHL training camp in New York, Torres was returned to Brampton in late September. Playing his third and final OHL season, Torres recorded 33 goals and 70 points over 55 games in 200001 and was named to the league's second all-star team again. The Battalion advanced to the second round of the playoffs, where they were eliminated. Torres had 11 points in eight post-season contests.
New York Islanders
After turning professional in 200102, Torres was assigned to the Islanders' American Hockey League AHL affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers following his second NHL training camp. Over the course of his professional rookie campaign, Torres was called up on four different occasions to the NHL. He received his first call-up to New York on November 24, 2001, making his NHL debut against the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. Skating on the fourth line, he helped the Islanders to a 53 win. He notched his first point during a separate call-up on January 4, 2002, assisting on a goal by Mark Parrish during a 42 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins. It was his lone point with the Islanders over 15 NHL games that season.
Later that month, he was reassigned to Bridgeport for the remainder of the season. He finished with 20 goals and 30 points over 55 games with the Sound Tigers. Torres became an integral part of Bridgeport's 2002 playoff run to the Calder Cup Finals, where the club lost in five games to the Chicago Wolves. Over 20 post-season games, Torres ranked third in team-scoring with eight goals and 17 points.
Torres began the 200203 season in Bridgeport for the second consecutive year. He received four call-ups to New York over the campaign, recording five assists over 17 games. At the NHL trade deadline, he was traded by the Islanders to the Edmonton Oilers, along with forward Brad Isbister, in exchange for defenceman Janne Niinimaa, as well as second-round and fourth-round selections in the 2003 draft.
Edmonton Oilers
Following the trade, the Oilers assigned him to their AHL affiliate, the Hamilton Bulldogs, where he played the final 11 games of the regular season. Between Bridgeport and Hamilton, Torres recorded 18 goals and 40 points over 60 games in his second AHL campaign. For the second consecutive year, he appeared in the Calder Cup Finals and lost. He struggled in his second AHL playoff run, managing six goals and an assist over 23 post-season games as the Bulldogs were defeated in the finals by the Houston Aeros in seven games. On August 1, 2003, Torres was re-signed by the Oilers to a two-year contract.
He began the 200304 season in the NHL, earning a roster spot with the Oilers. He scored his first NHL goal on October 9, 2003, against goaltender Evgeni Nabokov during a game against the San Jose Sharks. During the campaign, Torres was chosen to represent the Western Conference at the 2004 NHL YoungStars Game. The following month, he missed two contests due to an ankle injury. He recovered to finish the season with 20 goals and 34 points over 80 games. During the 200405 NHL lockout, he played with the Edmonton Road Runners the Oilers' new minor league affiliate of the AHL and tied for the team-scoring lead with Tony Salmelainen, recording 46 points in 67 games.
With the NHL set to resume play for the 200506 season, Torres re-signed with the Oilers to a two-year deal on August 16, 2005. Returning to the Oilers, he scored a career-high 27 goals and 41 points. The Oilers entered the 2006 playoffs as the eighth and final seed in the Western Conference. During the Western Conference Finals against the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Torres missed games two and three due to the flu. Following his return the lineup, he scored the series-clinching goal in game five, a 2-1 win, to advance the Oilers into the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals. Against the Carolina Hurricanes, the Oilers faced a 31 series deficit before forcing a game seven. They were defeated in the deciding contest to lose the Stanley Cup. Torres notched four goals and 11 points over 22 post-season games.
In 200607, Torres recorded 15 goals and 34 points. The Oilers did not qualify for the playoffs. In the off-season, they re-signed him to a three-year, $6.75 million deal. The following season, he missed the last 49 games of the campaign to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Limited to 32 contests, he recorded 11 points.
Columbus and Buffalo
Torres was traded in the off-season to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for forward Gilbert Brulé on July 1, 2008. He missed 10 games to begin the 200809 campaign with a separated right shoulder. A month later, on December 2, 2008, he underwent surgery for an injured knee and missed an additional 19 games. With an injury-shortened season for the second consecutive year, he recorded 12 goals and 20 points over 51 games. In the 2009 playoffs, Torres added two assists as Columbus was swept in four games by the Detroit Red Wings.
The following season, on March 3, 2010, Torres was traded to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for defenceman Nathan Paetsch and a second-round draft pick. He had recorded 19 goals and 31 points over 60 games with Columbus before the trade. In 14 games with Buffalo, he notched five assists. The Sabres entered the 2010 playoffs as the third seed in the Eastern Conference. They were eliminated in the first round by the Boston Bruins. Torres' play struggled against the Bruins and he was benched for the final two games of the series. He recorded two assists over four playoff games.
Vancouver Canucks
Leaving Buffalo as an unrestricted free agent, Torres signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Vancouver Canucks on August 24, 2010. He scored his first goal as a Canuck on October 13, in a 43 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. The following month, he registered his first NHL career hat trick on November 2 during a game against the Edmonton Oilers. It marked the first time in Oilers history that a former player scored a hat trick against the club. The hat trick also helped Torres earn First Star of the Week honours as the best player in the NHL for the week ending November 7, 2010. Beginning in January 2011, he underwent a 23-game goalless streak, snapped on February 19 in a game against the Dallas Stars.
Later in the season, Torres was suspended four games for a hit to the head of Edmonton Oilers forward Jordan Eberle during a game on April 6, 2011. Canucks general manager Mike Gillis told media that he strongly disagree[d] with it, while Torres argued that he did not stick out his elbow or leave his feet to make the hit and that Eberle raised his hand in defence of the oncoming check, indicating that it was not a blindside hit. Eberle was not injured on the play. The suspension ended Torres' regular season as the Canucks had two games remaining. He finished with 14 goals and 29 points in 80 games. Returning for game 3 of the opening playoff round against the Chicago Blackhawks, Torres received further scrutiny around the league for a hit on defenceman Brent Seabrook. Although he received a minor penalty on the play, Torres did not receive further suspension from the league. Later in the game, Torres hit Seabrook a second time, taking the defenceman out of the next two games. Vancouver went on to win the series in seven games, before defeating the Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks en route to the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals. In the opening game of the fourth round, Torres scored the game-winner against the Boston Bruins with 19 seconds remaining in regulation. The Canucks eventually lost the series in seven games.
Phoenix and 21-game suspension
On July 1, 2011, Torres signed a two-year contract worth $3.5 million with the Phoenix Coyotes. He recorded his first goal nearly a month into the 201112 season, in a 32 shootout loss to the Dallas Stars on October 25, 2011. Torres continued to build a reputation for targeting opponents' heads. He was fined $2,500 for striking Jan Hejda in the head with his forearm in a December 29, 2011, game against the Colorado Avalanche. Two nights later, he struck Minnesota's Nate Prosser in the head after jumping into the hit, earning a two-game suspension.
In an April 17, 2012, game during Phoenix's first round playoff series against Chicago, Torres jumped into a hit that contacted Marian Hossa's head. Hossa was taken from the ice on a stretcher and sent to hospital by ambulance. While Torres was not penalized on the play, the NHL characterized the hit as violating league rules on interference, charging and illegal contact to the head. Citing his previous history, league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan suspended Torres for 25 games for the hittied for the second-longest suspension for an on-ice incident in modern NHL historysidelining Torres for the rest of the playoffs. The league reduced Torres' suspension to 21 games on appeal over the summer. He served 13 games of the suspension during the Stanley Cup playoffs and then missed the first 8 games of the 201213 NHL season, completing his suspension on February 1, 2013.
San Jose and 41-game suspension
On April 3, 2013, Torres was traded to the San Jose Sharks for a third-round draft pick in the 2013 draft. On April 16, 2013, Torres made his first shootout attempt in two years against the Los Angeles Kings to give the Sharks the 32 victory. Torres scored the game-winning goal in overtime of game two of round one against his former team, the Vancouver Canucks. The Sharks swept the series.
In game one of the second round of the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs against the Kings, Torres recorded a hit on Jarret Stoll, injuring him. The hit was an illegal check to the head and Torres was a repeat offender; therefore, on May 16, the NHL suspended Torres for the remainder of the second round, which the Sharks lost. On June 20, 2013 the Sharks announced that they had re-signed Torres to a three-year contract. In the second 2013 preseason game against the Anaheim Ducks, Torres collided with Emerson Etem, causing Torres to injure his ACL, and was out until mid-February. Torres returned to the Sharks on February 27 against the Flyers. Torres recorded three points during the Sharks' opening round, seven game loss to the Los Angeles Kings in the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs. He then missed the entire 201415 NHL season due to injury.
On October 3, 2015, in a preseason game against the Ducks, Torres was assessed a match penalty for a late, illegal check to the head of forward Jakob Silfverberg. The NHL stated the hit would be under review, and, on October 5, Torres was suspended a record 41 games by the league, half of the regular season. Torres forfeited $440,860.29 in salary, which was deposited into the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund. While the record for longest suspension is held by Billy Coutu, who was suspended for life in 1927, Torres holds the distinction of the longest non-lifetime ban, which was previously held by Chris Simon for an incident in 2007. This is also the longest-ever NHL suspension for a hit on another player. Torres did not appeal the suspension and apologized to Silfverberg. Sharks general manager Doug Wilson supported the suspension, saying Torres' hit was unacceptable and has no place in our game.
After returning from his suspension, the Sharks assigned him to their AHL affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda on a conditioning loan. He never returned to the Sharks. On February 22, 2016, San Jose sent Torres to the Toronto Maple Leafs along with two second round draft picks in exchange for Roman Polak and Nick Spaling.
On August 30, 2016, Torres signed a PTO with the Carolina Hurricanes but was released on October 6. He officially announced his retirement from hockey on November 5, 2016.
International play
Torres represented Canada with the country's under-20 team at the 2001 World Junior Championships in Moscow. He scored three goals and five points over seven games as Canada won the bronze medal. They lost the semi-final to Finland before defeating Sweden 21 in the consolation game. Torres scored the game-winning goal against Sweden 37 seconds into overtime.
Personal life
Torres was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to Juan and Anna Torres. His father emigrated from Mexico City with his family in the early 1970s, while his mother is from Lima, Peru, and is of Greek, Italian, and Serbian ancestry. The two met in Toronto. Juan Torres worked several jobs to support his family, including car inspecting and assembly for General Motors, newspaper delivery for the Toronto Sun, construction and general contracting. Anna Torres stayed at home until after Torres and his siblings grew up, at which point she became a personal trainer. At one point, Torres' father became unemployed and the family applied to the Toronto Maple Leafs Foundation to financially support Torres' hockey career. Torres is the second youngest among his three brothers.
Torres is married to Gianna and they are residents of Whitchurch-Stouffville. He has two children. On Halloween 2011, Torres' costume prompted criticism as he and his wife donned blackface dressed up as a rapper Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

Six referendums were held in Switzerland during 2010; three in March on pension funds, animal protection and a constitutional amendment, one in September on unemployment benefits, and two in November on deporting foreign criminals and introducing a canton tax.
Results
March
Voters approved Provision 1, an amendment to the constitution on research on humans.
Voters rejected Provision 2, a federal decree on providing enhanced legal protection for animals.
Voters also rejected Provision 3, a federal law which would change the minimum conversion rate for occupational and disability pension plans.
September
The referendum held on 26 September had a single topic, namely the revision of unemployment benefits. The centre and right-wing parties were in favour of the revision, which was undertaken to reduce the debt of the ALV, while the left-wing parties were against it.
The referendum was approved by 53.4 of voters, although only the German-speaking cantons all of them except Basel-Stadt, which was against it with 50.4 approved it.
November
The referendum held on 28 November had two issues:
«Für die Ausschaffung krimineller Ausländer» For the deportation of criminal foreigners, proposed by the Swiss People's Party, as well as a counterproposal by the other partes; and
«Steuergerechtigkeits-Initiative» Taxation justice initiative for higher taxes on high incomes and property as well as the introduction of a minimum cantonal tax.
The SVP's federal popular initiative on deportation was accepted with 52.2 and a majority of cantons in favour, while the counterproposal failed with only 44.5 in favour. Whilst it was not required, the tie-breaker showed a majority of voters against but a majority of cantons for. On 28 February 2016, a follow-up initiative, also launched by the SVP, was rejected by voters. The deportation initiative went in effect on 1 October 2016.
The taxation initiative failed with only 41.5 in favour.
Withdrawn
In August 2010, family members of a murder victim launched another constitutional amendment initiative to provide for Capital punishment in cases of murder combined with sexual violence. The initiative quickly found itself at the center of public attention and was roundly rejected by political leaders; it was withdrawn a day after its official publication.

In the 2006 municipal elections in Ontario, voters in the province of Ontario, elected mayors, councillors, school board trustees and all other elected officials in all of Ontario's municipalities. These elections were regulated by the Municipal Elections Act of Ontario.
Date
Municipal elections in all Ontario municipalities took place on Monday, November 13, 2006 notwithstanding advance polling arrangements. Currently municipal elections in Ontario have fixed election dates, and the next round of elections are due to take place in November, 2010. Prior to the vote in 2006, the period between elections had been 3 years.
Voting Notice and Attention
Candidates may have withdrawn from the race prior to November 13, 2006, and while their names may still have appeared on the ballot, voting for a withdrawn candidate resulted in a spoiled ballot and was not counted.
Term lengths
The Legislative Assembly of Ontario legislation Bill 81, Schedule H, passed in 2006, sets the length of terms in office for all municipal elected officials at four years.

AutoStitch is a proprietary image stitching software tool for creating panoramas. It was developed by Matthew Brown and David G. Lowe of the University of British Columbia.
The software uses methods known as SIFT and RANSAC. This program differs from some other image stitching software in that it automatically stitches together even unaligned or zoomed photographs seamlessly without user input, whereas others often require the user to highlight matching areas for the photographs to merge properly. The only requirement is that all photographs be taken from a single point.
Other software such as Hugin have recently added the ability to stitch images without user input as well.

Uesugi Norizane 上杉 憲実; 1410 March 22, 1466 was a Japanese samurai of the Uesugi clan who held a number of high government posts during the Muromachi period.
Shugo Constable of Awa and Kōzuke Province, he was appointed Kantō kanrei Shōgun's deputy in the Kantō region in 1419, as an assistant to Kantō kubō Ashikaga Mochiuji. When Mochiuji rebelled against the shogunate, and attacked Norizane directly, Norizane complained to the shogunate, and fled to Kōzuke province. He returned to Kamakura in 1439, following Mochiuji's death. Norizane, as Kantō kanrei, now controlled the Kantō in the absence of a Kantō kubō; from then on, the kanrei would be the shōgun's direct deputy, the kubō serving only as an empty title.
Norizane left his post to his brother Uesugi Kiyotaka soon afterwards, and became a Buddhist monk. Over the course of his life, he was the patron of the Ashikaga Academy and helped to expand its library.

On 12 May 1937, he bore the Sceptre with the Cross at the coronation of King George VI.
On his retirement from active service with the Army, Somerset returned to Maiden Bradley to take charge of his estates in Wiltshire and Somerset.
On 4 May 1942 he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Wiltshire, succeeding Sir Ernest Wills.
On 19 March 1949, having exceeded the age limit, he relinquished his commission as an honorary Colonel of the Devon Regiment on retired pay.

The papermouth Enteromius mattozi, also known as the silverfish is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Enteromius.
Description
The papermouth has a silvery body with orange coloured fins. The dorsal fin is serrated and its scales are marked with radial striations. It grows to a maximum length of 40 cm and a weight of 1.4 kg. The mouth is positioned terminally. It has a protractile mouth.
Distribution
The papermouth is found in southern and central Africa from the Congo Basin through Angola south to the Limpopo, including the upper Zambezi. It can also be found in artificial impoundments in southern Africa.
Biology
The papermouth is a benthopelagic, potamodromous fish which occurs naturally in the larger pools of perennial rivers, which are cooler than the shallows. It is common in artificial lakes such as reservoirs and farm dams and is often introduced into these. It is an actively predatory species, feeding on small planktonic crustaceans and insects when it is juvenile and preying on small fish when adult. It will also feed on the seeds of water lilies, algae and aquatic plants. In turn, the papermouth is a prey species for birds, otters, large catfish and larger conspecifics. After the first summer rains, the papermouth migrates upstream in the flooded rivers to spawn. This species matures at three years old and the oldest recorded fish was 9 years old.
Human interactions
The papermouth is and aggressive fish and this makes it a popular target for anglers and fly fishers and is harvested for human consumption. In some parts of its range it is thought to be declining, but the IUCN class the species as being of Least Concern, although they note that there are potential threats from pollution and overfishing.
Taxonomy
The name Barbus mattozi was originally applied to specimens taken from the Cuanza and Cunene in Angola and Namibia. The specimens taken in the Limpopo were named as Barbus rapax. The status of the papermouth in the Zambezi, where it is a rare species, is uncertain, the species has been widely introduced to dams in Zimbabwe and the specimens taken in the Zambezi may be escapes from these artificially stocked populations. Some authorities, therefore, consider that Enteromius mattozi and Enteromius rapax should be treated as separate species.
