Esher Commons is a  biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south-west of Esher in Surrey. It includes Esher Common, Fairmile Common, West End Common and Oxshott Heath. Esher Common and West End Common are Local Nature Reserves.

Geology and terrain
The geology of the Commons consists of the damp clay soils of the Claygate Beds and acidic soils of the Bagshot Beds and Plateau Gravels with peat on top. The terrain is lowland heath, predominantly covered by woodland, including both deciduous and coniferous trees, notably: oak; beech; silver birch; birch; and Scots Pine in various stages of maturity. There is also grassland, and areas of marsh, bog and open water which provide a rich variety of habitats to support many species of plant and animal life. The site is, however, exceptional in the diversity of its fungi. By 2017, about 3400 species had been recorded from this small area, including several new to science, making it the world's most intensively studied place for fungi. Like Slapton Ley, Esher's Commons have been used as evidence to support the contention that fungi are, globally, many times more speciose than plants.

The Common was not always wooded, and much of the area was formerly open heathland used as common grazing land. It had not been grazed for many years and much of the area is now secondary woodland, including conifer plantations from the 1950s. Grazing trials began on a small area of Esher Commons in 2015. In the first year 15 goats were introduced to a 2.5ha area of heath for a period of six months. Esher Commons Site of Special Scientific Interest covers a large part of Arbrook, Esher, Oxshott, West End and Fairmile Commons and the Ledges.  Arbrook Common is the easternmost, named after the Arbrook, at other points and sources known as the 'Rythe'.  Otherwise much of the remainder of the commons is a subterranean aquifer. A programme to fell tracts of secondary woodland has led to various public protests.
In spite of the SSSI designation, the A3 Esher bypass was built through the middle of Esher Common in 1974. As compensation,  approximately  of "exchange land" became part of the Commons. The Ledges were added to West End Common, and an area including Middle Pond became part of Esher Common.

Esher Common

Esher Common is a  It contains several ponds and lakes, the largest of which is Black Pond. This was once used as a water supply for the nearby Claremont Landscape Garden now owned and managed by the National Trust. The main piece of high ground is Round Hill, close to Copsem Lane.

There are parking facilities on the A307 (old Portsmouth Road) and the A244 (Copsem Lane).

West End Common

West End Common includes The Ledges, which is a bank of high ground alongside the River Mole.

The common shares the parking facilities on the A307, and can also be accessed from the direction of West End.

Akora Khattak ( , Urdu: اکوڑہ خٹک ) or Sarai Akora is a town in the Jehangira tehsil of the Nowshera District in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. Its location is adjacent to the Kabul River, which converges with the Indus River about 15 kilometres downstream. Neighbouring places are Nowshera Cantonment to the west and Jahangira town to the east.

Review and history
Akora Khattak is about 14 km (9 miles) east of the Nowshera city in the Nowshera District on Grand Trunk Road. Akora Khattak was formerly called Sarai Akora. It is named after Malik Akor Khan Khattak, who was the great-grandfather of the famous Pashtun warrior and poet, Khushal Khan Khattak.

Sher Shah Suri period
The emperor Sher Shah Suri's army dug two wells here and made it a rest place named Sarai Malik Pura. Trade caravans would come from Central Asia and stay here.

Mughal period
In 1581, the Mughal emperor Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar came to Peshawar to end the mutiny of his brother Mirza Hakeem and stayed there for a few years. During this stay, he met (jarga) with all the tribal chiefs for the betterment of the area. In the meeting, the name of Malik Akor Khan often came up. It was reported to the emperor that Malik Akor Khan was a chieftain and often robbed the troops on the highway. He lived at Neelab (Nizampur) and continually created problems for the Mughal government. The emperor Jalal-ud-din Mohammad Akbar decided to resolve this problem by making Malik Akor Khan an ally and charged him with the responsibility of collecting tolls from the caravans on the crossing of the Indus at Attock. Malik Akor Khan came to the Sarai Malik Pura (Akora Khattak) for this purpose and made this area his living place. In time this place was renamed as Sarai Akora which later became "Akora Khattak".

Sikh period
In 1820, Sikhs of Punjab conquered Peshawar and other Pashtun areas and ruled it up to 1849. In 1826, Sayed Ahmad Barelvi fought a battle against Sikhs at this place. In 1834, Sardar Lehna Singh built the fort of Akora Khattak near the Kabul River.

British period
The British period starts from 29 August 1849. In 1809, the colonial Indian administrator, and later Governor of Bombay Mountstuart Elphinstone visited Peshawar.

The cantonment of Akora Khattak was established in 1850. On 23 March, 1851, Lord Dalhousie, the then Governor-General of India, visited this place.

Juju Music is the 1982 major label debut of Nigerian jùjú band King Sunny Adé and His African Beats. It was produced by keyboard player Martin Meissonnier, who introduced synthesizers and Linn drums into Adé's established juju sound. It represented the first worldwide release for Adé, who was already established in his native Nigeria as its "biggest musical draw and juju music's reigning monarch".  The album was a critical and commercial success, peaking at #111 on Billboard's "Pop Albums" chart.

The New York Times, which described the album in 1982 as "the year's freshest dance-music album", later credited it in 1990 with having launched the "World Beat movement in the United States". In its review, Allmusic indicates that the album gave Adé "unprecedented exposure on the Western market and introduced a slew of music lovers to the sounds of Afro-pop."

Background
In the early 1980s, when Island Records approached Adé about releasing his material internationally under its Mango Records imprint, the musician was already a star in his native Nigeria, with his own record label, his own nightclub to host his performances and a track record of releasing three or four albums a year. When Adé agreed, he was teamed with Martin Meissonnier, a French record producer who advised that the typical long song structures of Nigerian music would not work for Western audiences. Accordingly, Adé divided a number of his Nigerian hits for international release, a task he found unchallenging. He later explained that "In Nigeria, we got used to non-stop recording, about 18 to 20 minutes of music. But over here, the music should be track-by-track for the radio and the dance floor. It's like making a dress. One by one, the different pieces are joined together, but you can still see the lines where they meet".

The album Juju Music was coupled with an international tour, with Island Records ambitiously hoping to position Adé as a new Bob Marley. The tour setlist drew little from the album it was meant to support; at a three-hour show in New York City, the band played only two songs from Juju Music, "Ja Funmi" and "Eje Nlo Gba Ara Mi". Island's marketing of Adé was later described by Tucson Weekly as "a monumental juncture in the exposure and development of world beat music; perhaps the first time a major American imprint had fully endorsed an African-derived music that was not reggae".

Musical style
Although Meissonnier altered the song structure, he did not alter Adé's style. To Westerners, Adé's music seemed eclectic, with reviewers of Juju Music commenting variously on the mingling of "the spacey mixing techniques of Jamaican dub" into Adé's "Nigerian polyrhythms", and—even more minutely—on the "echoes of old reggae in its lean guitar riffs, salsa in its Yoruban drum patterns, country in the steel-guitar playing, dub in the music's wide-open holes, folk and calypso in its gentle singing and the Grateful Dead and jazz in its long jams". At the time of the album's release, New York Times reviewer Robert Palmer speculated that Adé's Yoruban heritage might lead listeners in America to a sense of familiarity with Adé's music, as the Yoruban culture has far-flung influences in other cultures and musical types. Rather than catalog those represented types, Palmer described Adé's style as a "fusion of traditional Yoruba drumming with a pop instrumentation that includes pedal steel guitar and synthesizer".

Palmer notes the songs, many of which are "drawn from traditional proverbs", "espouse traditional values". In a 2005 interview, Adé confirmed that in his musical career "all the songs are more or less a proverb". The artist offered as an example of this an explication of the popular anthem "Ja Funmi" from Juju Music, an "instant classic" according to Afropop Worldwide which he plays at every show in spite of the vast body of work from which he might choose. Adé indicated that "Ja Funmi" is a common phrase meaning "Fight for me", adding:

He concluded with an explicit explanation of the metaphor, saying, "You use your head to represent your God".

In spite of the title of that song, Adé's tone is not aggressive, marking what Palmer highlights as an essential difference between most music from underdeveloped nations and that on Adé's album—listeners of the time expected such music to be "angry and militant", but Adé is rather "sweet and cool", a traditional element of Yoruban art. In his review, Palmer describes the beginning of the song "Mo Beru Agba" in detail, concluding that the music shifts "textures as mercurially as an African breeze, but with three talking drums and a section of congas, bongos, and other percussion instruments continuing to lay down a densely woven fabric of propulsive rhythms". The overall impression to Rolling Stone reviewer Chip Stern was of "some hazy, distant dream of communal ritual and peace".

Reception

According to Rolling Stone, both the album and the debut tours received "universal rave reviews".  In its own review, the magazine recommended that "Fans of the New Romantics' soul train...disembark and check it out—the view is breathtaking". The New York Times praised the album as "lilting, lyrical, compulsively danceable", "spectacularly up-to-date" and "difficult to resist". It was ranked among the top ten "Albums of the Year" for 1982 by NME. Combined, the album and tour have been credited with not only internationally popularizing World Beat, but also with opening international doors for other performers of Afropop.

The Clearinghouse has the world's largest online library of free information on these topics: accident and crash data, latest technologies and equipment, best practices, key safety engineer contact information, laws and regulations, worker safety training materials, research and publications, public education campaigns, Spanish language materials and educational materials for new drivers.

In the fall of 1997, after a competitive bid process, ARTBA was selected as the Clearinghouse project manager. In partnership with the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI), and with financial support from Federal Highway Administration, the facility opened for business on February 17, 1998.

By 2000, Clearinghouse operations were privatized and managed by the ARTBA-Transportation Development Foundation with support from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, TTI, labor organizations and other safety groups. TTI manages the day-to-day operations, conducts the safety research and maintains the Clearinghouse website. www.workzonesafety.org.

Scholarship and awards
The ARTBA Foundation endows the Lanford Family Highway Worker Memorial Scholarship fund to provide post-high school financial assistance to the children of highway workers killed or permanently disabled on the job, and features several award competitions to honor industry public relations, environmental protection and safety programs.

Safety Training
The ARTBA-TDF regularly hosts several national and international forums on roadway and construction zone safety and conducts safety training for thousands of industry workers and managers through several federal government contracts. This includes programs created and run in cooperation with government agencies.

Industry Leader Development Program
The ARTBA Industry Leader Development Program (ILDP) is focused on developing future leaders of the transportation construction industry in the United States. The annual gathering provides industry "rising stars" an intensive three-day introduction to the legislative and regulatory processes that affect the industry in Washington, and ARTBA's role in shaping public policy.

There have been more than 800 graduates in the program since it was launched in 1995. ILDP fellows have come from more than 200 different companies, public agencies and state contractor organizations in nearly every U.S. state, Washington, D.C., and Canada. Several past participants are currently serving terms on the ARTBA Board of Directors, and many are involved in the ARTBA Industry Leader Development Council (ILDC).

The ILDP curriculum includes seminars on the congressional legislative, budget and appropriations processes. Fellows attend sessions on rulemaking by the federal regulatory agencies and receive an overview of federal environmental, health and safety regulations affecting the industry.

Participants have the opportunity to discuss current federal transportation development issues on Capitol Hill. Each fellow meets with his or her congressman or transportation legislative staff during the ILDP.

The Research Centre for East European Studies (Forschungsstelle Osteuropa) at the University of Bremen was founded in 1982. Under the directorship of Professor Wolfgang Eichwede, it has since then carved its own distinctive niche within the German academic community through an intensive study of recent developments in the culture and society of Central and East European countries.

Following the collapse of Communist rule, the institute's research concentrated both on the cultural and socio-political continuities across the period of upheaval, and on the newly emerging potential for innovation in political and economic culture and cultural identity. In contrast to the predominantly economic approach to the transformation taking place in Eastern and Central Eastern Europe, the Research Centre places the traditions and potential of the region at the centre of attention. The institute endeavors to enable an understanding of the countries from the inside, and in this way make a genuine contribution to the drawing together of Europe.

Even before the radical political changes this was one of the tasks of the Research Centre: during the 1980s, it gave attention above all to the appearance of independent artistic and intellectual creativity. The focus on dissident culture was intertwined with the aspiration to track informal tendencies and intellectual approaches which could give an insight into the societies of the region. Alongside its research, the institute was able to build up a comprehensive and internationally renowned archive of  Samizdat literature. It contains banned or unofficial artistic, literary and academic writings from Poland, the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and the GDR (East Germany). The Russian collection also includes the private archives of leading Russian figures. A third branch of the institute's activity is public work in the form of cultural and political consultancy in Germany and abroad.

Structure

The Research Centre has charitable status and is registered in the federal states of Bremen, Hamburg and North Rhine-Westphalia. It was initially funded by the Volkswagen Foundation, but since 1986/7 it has received subsidies from the joint committee of the educational ministries of the German federal republics. The institute is closely connected with the University of Bremen, not only in that it is situated on the site of the university, but also in that its director holds a professorial chair at the university, and through concrete agreements and cooperation. The Research Centre has three subdivisions: research, the archive and library and public work in the form of cultural and political consultancy.

Current projects

Contemporary and cultural history
Using its extensive archive, which contains well in excess of 150,000 Samizdat documents and more than 300 private archives, the Research Centre organised a series of large-scale exhibitions titled Samizdat. Alternative Culture in Central and Eastern Europe from the 1960s to the 1980s. The exhibition in Berlin was opened by the mayor of Budapest and former human rights activist Gábor Demszky, that in Prague by the presidents of Germany and Czechoslovakia Johannes Rau and Václav Havel, in Brussels by the EU commissioner Günter Verheugen and in Budapest by the German foreign minister Joschka Fischer. The exhibitions were received enthusiastically by the public. In Prague alone there were 75,000 visitors.

The Research Centre has built on this success by putting together another exhibition Counterviews. Photographs of the Political and Cultural Opposition in Eastern Europe 1956-1989. It takes the form of a touring exhibition which at present travels throughout Europe.

Alongside comprehensive individual research projects on dissent and society throughout Eastern and Central Eastern Europe, a joint research association funded by the Volkswagen Foundation has started its work in collaboration with institutes in Moscow, Warsaw, Poznan, Prague and Budapest on the topic ‘The other Europe – the 1960s-1980s. Dissent in Politics and Society; Cultural Alternatives. Contributions to a Comparative History’. In this way, the Research Centre in cooperation with other German universities and partner organizations in the USA and Western Europe will become an important centre for the study of the contemporary history of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

At the moment a database is being created for the unique collections within the Bremen archive, which on account of its use of five different languages resembles a large-scale pilot project. A regular series of publications giving an overview of the contents of the archive will be forthcoming in 2008.

Studies of the present - politics, economics and culture
In this area, the most notable research projects have in the past few years dealt with economic culture and informal politics. The topics investigated included taxation, the role of trust in business relations, the political influence of companies and the development of corporate governance. The majority of these projects were made possible through third-party funds.

Other recent areas of research (some of which were comparative) include the development of a new state symbolism in Russia and Slovakia, processes of the construction of identity and the politics of history in Poland, the Czech Republic and Russia. In addition, there are individual studies on various countries and regions.

A new focal point is the integration of the former socialist EU-member states in the decision-making process of the European Union. Above all, it is concerned with the role of civic interest and lobby group. Within the Sixth Framework Programme for Research of the European Union, the institute is a team leader in the integrated project, which is headed by the European University Institute in Florence. A further third-party funded research project investigates how the Polish, Czech and Slovakian trade unions cope with EU governance.

Since 2000 the Research Centre has organized conferences for young scholars specializing in Eastern Europe. At the moment this is funded by the Otto-Wolff Foundation. In addition the Research Center organizes summer schools Changing Europe, sponsored by the Volkswagen Foundation. The first one took place in 2006 and selected contributions have been published. The aim of the summer schools is to bring together a select group of doctoral students from throughout the world and assist their integration into the research community of East European studies. Over 40 academics of international renown are involved in various functions under the supervision of the Research Centre in the work of the summer school.

Publications

The results of the institute's research are published in two series (‘Studies in East European Culture and Society’ published by LIT-Verlag and ‘Changing Europe’ published by Ibidem-Verlag) and as individual volumes. The archive of the Research Centre produces its own series of works published by Ibidem-Verlag. In addition, the Research Centre brings out in journal form the series  Working papers and materials of the Research Centre for East European Studies, which contains 10 issues each year.

Moreover, the subsection dealing with studies of the present offers regular e-mail services, which include updates on individual countries in the region in German and English. Taken together, they have over 16,000 subscribers from the worlds of politics, economics and the media, as well as interested members of the public. In cooperation with the Koszalin Institute of Comparative European Studies the Research Center offers regular bibliographic e-mail servises, which cover books and articles recently published in English and German on politics, foreign policy, economic and social affairs.

International Partner Organizations

The Research Centre amongst others works together with the following institutions in the former communist states:

The non-governmental organization MEMORIAL in Moscow, which like the Research Centre has an academic interest in Soviet dissidents, the Russian State University for the Humanities and the Moscow Higher School of Economics, with which a lively exchange program of researchers takes place in Russia.

The Institute of Contemporary History in Prague and the Institute of Sociology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in the Czech Republic. The archive KARTA in Warsaw and the Chair of Polish Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Poznan in Poland. The Faculty of Political Sciences at the Comenius University Bratislava in the Slovak Republic.

Furthermore, international networks exist with institutions in the USA (e.g. Hoover, Harvard and the Zimmerli Art Museum, New Brunswick) and Western Europe (e.g. ETH Zürich, the University of Amsterdam and Cambridge University).

Maxfield Doyle Crook (November 2, 1936 – July 1, 2020) was an American musician, a pioneer of electronic music in pop.  He was the featured soloist on Del Shannon's 1961 hit "Runaway", which he co-wrote and on which he played his own invention, the Musitron. He also recorded as Maximilian.

Biography

Early life and career
Crook was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, to Clarence and Helen Crook. The family moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, when Crook was a child. His grandfather, Doyle Mullikin, had musical talent as a United Brethren Minister. Helen Crook was classically trained as a pianist in her early schooling and graduated from college with a degree in music. Crook first learned to play the accordion before taking up the piano, and by the time he was fourteen he had already built his own studio. In 1957, after studying at the University of New Mexico, he enrolled at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. There, he formed a rock and roll group called The White Bucks, who released a single, "Get That Fly", on Dot Records in 1959.

In the same year he built a monophonic synthesizer, which he called the Musitron, out of a clavioline heavily enhanced with additional resistors, television tubes, and parts from household appliances, old amplifiers, and reel-to-reel tape machines. Crook was unable to patent the Musitron because most of its components were previously patented products. He first used it for recording at a session at Berry Gordy's studio in Detroit, on an unreleased version of "Bumble Boogie" (the tune later recorded by B. Bumble and the Stingers) for which he also used a crude self-made four-track tape recorder. The sound of the Musitron was influential on other musicians and producers, including Gordy, Joe Meek, Ennio Morricone, John Barry, and Roy Wood.

Later in 1959, he met Charles Westover, yet to take the stage name Del Shannon, who asked him to join his band, "Charlie Johnson and the Big Little Show Band", as keyboard player. They signed a recording contract in 1960, and Crook began playing the Musitron onstage for the first time soon afterwards. During a live set one night at the Hi-Lo Club in Battle Creek, Michigan, Crook hit upon an unusual chord change going from A-minor to G, and he and Del Shannon co-wrote and developed the lick into a song, which became "Runaway". In January 1961, Shannon and Crook recorded "Runaway" at Bell Sound studios for Big Top Records in New York City, and it soon became an international hit. When "Runaway" was hitting the top of the record charts in 1961, there was a contest on American Bandstand to guess the musical instrument playing on the bridge in the song. "Runaway" is #472 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time from 2010.

Crook also recorded a series of instrumentals, credited as Maximilian. These included "The Snake" (a hit in Argentina), and later "The Twistin' Ghost" and "Greyhound" (both hits in Canada). For a time he took over as leader of Shannon's old band based in Battle Creek, Michigan, which became "The Maximilian Band", but he left the group in late 1962 for a solo career. He also set up his own record label, Double A, in Ann Arbor. Later in the 1960s, he worked as an electronic musical duo with Scott Ludwig, billed as "The Sounds of Tomorrow", performing instrumental versions of current hits.

Later career
In the late 1960s, Crook and his family moved to California and worked as a burglar alarm installer and Ventura County Firefighter, before returning to recording with Del Shannon and Brian Hyland. Hyland's version of Curtis Mayfield's "Gypsy Woman", featuring Crook's keyboards, became a hit in 1970. Crook also wrote the score for James Sturgen's movie Time and Beyond. In the 1980s, he began traveling and performing gospel and spiritual music, resulting in recording an album called Good News!

In 2003, he was featured on Joe G & the Zippity Doo Wop Band's remake of Del Shannon's "So Long Baby" playing the honking Musitron riff from Shannon's recording, as well as a solo in the higher "Runaway" register that would have replaced the kazoo solo in the 1961 record had they not run out of tracks. He can be seen in the group's music video of the song filmed in Shannon's hometown of Coopersville, Michigan. In September 2004, he also performed at a tribute show to Shannon (1934–90) in Saratoga, New York, with Joe Glickman (Joe G), only his second time in the Empire State since recording "Runaway" over 40 years earlier.

Death
Crook died on July 1, 2020, aged 83.

Alyson Hunter (born 1948) is a New Zealand photographer and print maker, resident in London, who, during the 1970s and 1980s, employed an unusual technique of etching with a chemically modified photographic image.

Life
Alyson Hunter was born in Auckland, New Zealand, and is the twin sister of artist Alexis Hunter. She studied at Auckland University, then moving to London to study at Chelsea College of Art and the Royal College of Art. With her husband, Hugh Stoneman, she was a director of Islington Studios and Islington Graphics Gallery. In the 1980s, she travelled and lectured on print making, with Adrian Frost, in America, Australia and New Zealand, where her daughter Amy Frost was born in 1981. She was Master Printer at the New York Printmaking Workshop, and, in 1981 and 1983, University of California, Davis, Visiting Professor.

In 2019 she moved to Margate where she continues to work, is active in the local art community as well as living close to daughter Amy and her grandchildren.

Work
In 1971 she started making prints with an unusual technique that combined etching and photography, whereby a printing plate is created from a photograph and the plate worked on to alter the contrast, making use of the K.P.R. (Kodak Photo Resist) chemical: this is no longer available because of its toxicity. Her print, For the Glory of the Empire, made using this process, juxtaposes two 19th-century architectural features, the Albert Memorial and the terraced house as contrasting features of the legacy of the British Empire. She made a set of four prints,  using this technique, of Camden Town, London, and its residents; one of these uses the background of Camden Lock behind a close-up of a gypsy boy. These two works are in the Museum of London.  Three landscape etchings 1972–72, including ones of Kent Road and Romney Marsh, were acquired for the British Government Art Collection. She no longer used this photographic technique after 1987.

In 1990, she moved away from printing into photography. Her portraits of photographers, Dan Farson and Harry Diamond, are in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.

The BioWall is a bio-inspired computing surface made of several thousand electronic modules which can be seen as artificial molecules. Each of these modules contains a programmable electronic circuit, a touch sensor and a display composed of 64 LEDs (Light-emitting diodes). As a result, each module enables the visitor to communicate with the surface by touching it with his finger, calculates its new status and indicates it immediately on a coloured display.

Overview
The BioWall was developed in the Logic Systems Laboratory (LSL) of the Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. Its construction has been sponsored by Jacqueline Reuge, owner of the Villa Reuge Museum in Sainte-Croix (VD). Two versions of the BioWall have been realized, in which several thousand FPGAs (Spartan XCS10XL of Xilinx) constitute the core of as many modules, locally exchanging information with their nearest neighbours. The interaction with the FPGA is performed through a touch sensitive membrane and each FPGA communicates its state to a 64 coloured LED array.

The main goal of this academic project is the study of the hardware implementation of bio-inspired concepts such as self-repair, evolution, self-replication, learning... following the three main axes defined in the POEtic model:
 Phylogenetic axis (P axis), inspired by the evolution of biological species
 Ontogenetic axis (O axis), inspired by the development and growth of multicellular organisms
 Epigenetic axis (E axis), inspired by the adaptation of individuals to the environment
Among these three research axes, the main effort of the LSL has been focused to the ontogenetic axis through the Embryonics Project, which aims at drawing inspiration from the development of multicellular living organisms in order to obtain in digital hardware some of their original features, and notably growth and fault tolerance.

BioWatch

An artificial organism endowed with all of the features of an embryonic machine was implemented in the BioWall. The BioWatch, which counts hours, minutes, and seconds, is used to demonstrate the growth and self-repair capabilities of the BioWall.

Following the three levels of complexity defined in the Embryonics Project, the BioWatch has been hierarchically designed: The entire watch can be seen as an organism composed of six cells, each of which is dedicated to the calculation of one digit: units and tens of seconds, minutes and hours. Each of these cells is itself decomposed in smaller identical units, i.e. the modules of the BioWall, that could be seen as the basic molecules in a real organism.

Self-repair is possible by including in the BioWatch spare molecules; when a FPGA, i.e. a molecule, becomes faulty, one of the spare molecules can take over its functionality and enables the BioWatch to still display the right time. When a whole cell, counting a specific digit, is overwhelmed by faulty molecules, it dies, but the spare space is automatically configured in order to take over the functionality of the dead cell and to replicate it. As a result, the full watch is then able to tolerate a large amount of faults inside its hardware, and nevertheless can still display the right time.

Other applications

The BioWall is composed of an array of small, locally connected elements and as a result is also an ideal platform to prototype  many different kinds of two-dimensional cellular systems and bio-inspired systems, such as:

 Conway's Game of Life (>>>)
 Self-replicating Loops (>>>)
 Turing Artificial Neural Networks (>>>)
 Von Neumann's Universal Constructor (>>>)
 Wolfram's Cellular Automata (>>>)
 Firing Squad Cellular Automaton (>>>)
 DNA Sequence Comparison (>>>)

Although the BioWall's size and structure impose a certain number of limitations (e.g. clock speed of the system), its complete programmability provides an outstanding versatility and the visual and interactive component of the system are invaluable tools both for the dissemination of ideas and for the verification of research concepts that are often limited to software simulations.

A BioWall with 2000 molecules is now in the Intelligent Systems Group, Department of Electronics, University of York (UK). Another BioWall with 2000 molecules resides in a permanent exhibition in the Ecole polytechnique fédérale Lausanne (EPFL) and can be seen operating live with the following Webcam, from Monday to Friday between 8:00 and 19:00 GMT+1.

John Michael Kay (28 October 1943 – 7 May 2021) was a British journalist who worked for The Sun newspaper for several decades. He was twice named 'Reporter of the Year' in the British Press Awards. In 1977 he was convicted of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility after killing his wife and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.

Early life
Kay was born in Golders Green, London on 28 October 1943. Kay's father, Ernest Kay, was managing editor of the London Evening News, and his mother was Martha ( Pilkington). The younger Kay was educated at Bootham School in York and continued his studies at Durham University (Hatfield College), where he served as Editor of Palatinate during Michaelmas term of 1963, having previously been News Editor. His time as Editor was eventful. He was accused of falsely reporting a profit to the Student Union for one edition of the paper when it had in reality made a loss, but was ultimately cleared of deliberately making the claim. An article he produced on 'black magic ceremonies' also attracted controversy, and was described as a "nasty piece of pornography" by the Pro Vice-Chancellor of the university. Despite this, the Student Representatives' Council (SRC), responsible for publishing Palatinate, gave Kay a vote of confidence and allowed him to continue as Editor, while condemning the offending article.

Career
After graduating from Durham, Kay gained his first job in journalism with The Journal in nearby Newcastle, where he was an Editorial writer (1965–67); Chief Industrial Correspondent (1967–68); and Deputy News Editor (1968–1970). After a spell in London as a features writer for Thomson Newspapers, he returned to The Journal in 1971 to serve as Business Editor. He began working for The Sun newspaper from 1974, initially as a general reporter, then as Industrial Editor.

According to his obituary in The Times, some of Kay's methods involved "treading a fine line between journalistic licence and dishonesty". In 1983, he was reprimanded by the Press Council for falsely claiming to have had a "world exclusive" interview with Maria McKay, the widow of a Falklands VC. She had sold her story to the rival Daily Mirror tabloid.

He was appointed The Suns chief reporter in 1990. According to freelance journalist Rob McGibbon in the Press Gazette obituary of Kay, Roy Greenslade, while he was editor of the Daily Mirror, tried to recruit the journalist, but Kay remained at The Sun with a large pay rise and a company car. Twice named 'Reporter of the Year' in the British Press Awards, a Press Gazette feature in November 2005 identified him as the sixteenth most influential British journalist since the war.

The Press Gazette reported in November 2008 that Kay had been persuaded to continue working on The Sun past retirement on a full-time freelance basis but on the same salary as before.

In February 2012, Kay was reported by BBC News to be one of eight people arrested as part of the Operation Elveden investigation into alleged bribes to police and civil servants. Kay was cleared at the Old Bailey in March 2015 of paying a total of  £100,000 over a decade to a Ministry of Defence member of staff for assistance on stories relating to the army. The Sun though, did pay the money to his source, Bettina Jordan-Barber, who was jailed for 12 months in January for misconduct in public office. Kay left The Sun in 2015 and retired.

In 1979, he married his Spanish-born wife, Mercedes, a PA for the Iberia airline. After he severed all ties with The Sun, he cared for her at their home in North London; she died in 2017 from cancer.

Manslaughter of first wife
In 1977, Kay killed his Japanese-born first wife, Harue (née Nonaka), by drowning her in the bath. After several attempts to kill himself, the police found him in his car naked and covered in blood. He was arrested and charged with murder.

Defended at trial by John Mathew QC, paid for by The Sun, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. Mathew argued that Kay lacked confidence when going 'on the road' to interview people and said that prior to the incident, Kay suffered a nervous breakdown, locking himself in his hotel room shortly before the 1977 TUC Congress in Blackpool. Returning home after the conference, Kay said he felt unable to resign because it would harm his career, but knew he was not capable of functioning as Industrial Editor either. He said that he announced to Harue that he was going to kill himself. After drowning her, he said he attempted to kill himself through several methods including hanging, jumping out of a window, and finally driving his car head-on into a bridge.

The court accepted Kay's account of the events and Sun editor Larry Lamb wrote a letter to St Albans Crown Court to say there would always be a job open for Kay with the newspaper. The judge ordered Kay to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Friern Barnet. After a spell of treatment he was taken back on by The Sun on condition that he be confined to the office.

Death
Kay died at a nursing home in Hertford on 7 May 2021 after a fall. Upon his death, The Sun published a two-page spread calling him "the greatest journalist of his generation" and "everybody's mate", and a Daily Telegraph obituary described him as the "brilliant Sun chief reporter famed for his scoops, exposés and effortless mastery of tabloid-speak", while Tom Newton Dunn wrote a piece for the Evening Standard criticising Sir Keir Starmer for prosecuting Kay on bribery charges in 2015, all without touching on his manslaughter conviction (The Sun and Evening Standard added mentions of the killing to the obituaries after initial publication).

USS Quiros (PG-40), previously designated Gunboat No. 40, was a United States Navy gunboat in commission from 1900 to 1904, from 1904 to 1908, and from 1910 to 1923, seeing service in the Philippines and China. Prior to her U.S. Navy service, she was in commission in the Spanish Navy from 1896 to 1898 as Quirós, seeing service during the Philippine Revolution and the Spanish–American War.

Construction and commissioning
Quirós was constructed as a schooner-rigged, composite gunboat for the Spanish Navy by the Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock Company in Hong Kong. She was laid down in June 1894, launched in early 1895, and commissioned into Spanish Navy service in 1896.

Service history

Spanish Navy
Upon commissioning in 1896, Quirós deployed to the Philippine Islands, where she took part in operations against Filipino insurgents during the Philippine Revolution. During the Spanish–American War of April–August 1898, United States Army forces captured her at Manila. After the war, Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States, and the Spanish Navy considered steaming her from the Philippines to Spain, but decided against it after assessing the voyage as both cost-prohibitive and likely to fail. Spain sold her to the United States on 21 February 1900.

U.S. Navy
The U.S. Navy commissioned the gunboat at Cavite Navy Yard in the Philippines as USS Quiros (Gunboat No. 40) on 14 March 1900. Assigned to duty supporting the U.S. Army in the Philippine–American War, Quiros operated along the east coast of Luzon, carrying troops, providing fire support, blockading rebel villages, and making hydrographic surveys. She then switched to patrolling the Ulgan station, operating off the coast of Samar in cooperation with U.S. Army forces until 6 October 1901. She retired to Cavite for repairs from 25 February to 7 May 1902 and then proceeded to Zamboanga patrol station, where she cruised for a number of months, carrying U.S. Army troops and United States Marines on various missions. She was reported on 31 December 1903 to have gone aground on the Pearl Banks in the Sulu Sea off Borneo, but was reported on 15 January 1904 to have been refloated with minimal damage. She returned to Cavite and was decommissioned on 29 January 1904.

Quiros was recommissioned on 2 September 1904, and following service with the Philippine Squadron sailed for China, arriving at Shanghai on 3 August 1905. Operating along the China coast as far as Chefoo, she then took up duties on the Yangtze Patrol, patrolling the Yangtze River, making a number of upriver trips to Hankow and one voyage as far as Ichang,  inland, in May 1907. On 27 February 1908, she departed China for Cavite, arriving there on 8 March 1908 and decommissioning there on 11 March 1908.

Quiros recommissioned on 11 October 1910 and operated on patrol in Philippine waters for the next year. She departed the Philippines on 11 November 1911 bound for Amoy, China, then proceeded to Shanghai, where she again took up duties on the Yangtze Patrol. Quiros remained on Chinese river service for the rest of her career, carrying stores, supplying naval armed guards to river merchantmen, inspecting provinces, and protecting U.S. lives and property in China's interior. Quiros was interned at Shanghai on 5 May 1917 after the U.S. entry into World War I due to China's neutrality in the war, but an international agreement on the protection of nationals in China allowed her to resume patrolling in August 1917.

On 17 July 1920, when the U.S. Navy established its modern system of hull classification symbols, Quiros received the hull number "PG-40." She was decommissioned at Shanghai on 10 August 1923 and was used as a target until sunk by U.S. Navy destroyer gunfire off the coast of China on 16 October 1923.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Barton (August 14, 1891 – May 19, 1931) was a popular American cartoonist and caricaturist of actors and other celebrities. His work was in heavy demand through the 1920s and has been considered to epitomize the era. Barton was nearly forgotten soon after his death, shortly before his fortieth birthday.

Early life
Ralph Barton was born in Kansas City, Missouri on August 14, 1891, the youngest of Abraham Pool and Catherine Josephine (Wigginton) Barton's four children. His father was an attorney by profession, but around the time of Ralph's birth made a career change to publish journals on metaphysics. His mother, an accomplished portrait painter, ran an art studio. The young Barton showed his mother's aptitude for art, and by the time he was in his mid-teens he had already seen several of his cartoons and illustrations published in The Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Journal-Post. Buoyed by this success, in 1908 Ralph Barton dropped out of Kansas City's Central High School before graduation. He moved to Chicago in 1909 to attend the Art Institute of Chicago, but soon found he didn't "like Chicago or Chicago people and worst of all the art institute. I could learn twice as much at work," he confided in a letter to his mother. Returning to Kansas City within a matter of months, Barton married Marie Jennings, his first wife.

Career

While back in Kansas City, Barton resumed his work for the Star and Journal-Post to support his wife and daughter, born in 1910. His first major break came in 1912 when Barton sold an illustration to the humor magazine Puck. Encouraged, the Bartons moved to New York City, where Ralph found steady work with Puck, McCall's and  other publications. His wife was not happy with life there, however, and returned to Kansas City within a few months. Barton rented studio space in New York, which he shared with another famous Missouri artist, Thomas Hart Benton, and the two became fast friends. It was Benton, in fact, who served as the subject of Barton's first caricature.

In 1915, Puck magazine sent Barton to France to sketch scenes of World War I. It was then that Barton developed a great love of all things French, and throughout his life he would return to Paris to live for periods of time. In 1927, the French government awarded Barton the Legion of Honour

Following Barton's caricature of Benton, he drew many of the most significant figures in New York's social and cultural scene of the timeincluding Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Lillian Gish, Sigmund Freud, Aimee Semple McPherson, and Charlie Chaplin. Some of his most famous works were group drawings, and perhaps the most noted was a stage curtain created for a 1922 revue, depicting an "audience" of 139 faces looking back at the real theater-goers. "The effect was electrifying, and the applause was great," said another caricaturist of the era, Aline Fruhauf.

Much of Barton's work from the mid-1920s onward was for The New Yorker magazine, which he joined as an advisory editor from its very beginning in 1924. He would also be a stockholder in the publication. Other prominent magazines of the era to feature his work were Collier's, Photoplay, Vanity Fair, Judge, and Harper's Bazaar. While many would be published unsigned, there was no mistaking Barton's unique style. He illustrated books as well, including Anita Loos's hugely popular Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. With the urging of friend Charlie Chaplin, Barton also made one movie, Camille. The short film featured such notables as Paul Robeson, Ethel Barrymore, and Sinclair Lewis.

At the height of his popularity, Barton enjoyed not only the acquaintance of the famous, but a solid and impressive income. All of this concealed a terribly unhappy life. He was beset by bipolar disorder, and each of his four marriages ended in divorce. (One of his wives was the French composer Germaine Tailleferre (1892–1983) who was a member of Les Six.) A self-portrait, painted around 1925 is inscribed "with apologies to Greco and God," and shows a drawn and unhappy figure. A year later he wrote, "The human soul would be a hideous object if it were possible to lay it bare."

Death
On May 19, 1931, in his East Midtown Manhattan penthouse apartment, Barton shot himself through the right temple. He was 39 years old. His suicide note said he had irrevocably "lost the only woman I ever loved" (the actress Carlotta Monterey had divorced Barton in 1926 and married Eugene O'Neill in 1929), and that he feared his worsening bipolar disorder was approaching insanity. He wrote: "I have had few difficulties, many friends, great successes; I have gone from wife to wife and house to house, visited great countries of the worldbut I am fed up with inventing devices to fill up twenty-four hours of the day." Almost immediately, his reputation diminished; several years after his death, a caricature of George Gershwin sold for a mere $5. Ralph Barton's ashes were returned to his native Kansas City and interred in Mount Moriah Cemetery.

Legacy
Toward the end of the century, his work was included in several exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery. A 1998 conference on cartooning at the Library of Congress also considered his work.

The lost village of Church Charwelton lies south-east of the village of Charwelton in the English county of Northamptonshire. Its site is on the north-east bank of the River Cherwell. The Jurassic Way long-distance footpath passes across the site.

History
It has been supposed that Church Charwelton was deserted in the 15th century at the time of the Wars of the Roses but in fact it is far more likely that the settlement's depopulation was due to enclosure and the introduction of sheep. The land was purchased by Thomas Andrews in 1417 and by the year 1547 records show that Thomas Andrew’s grandson, also Thomas, kept 1,200 sheep on the site of the settlement. Another part was owned by the Knightley family of Fawsley who also kept 300 sheep on the land. It is recorded that the whole site had been abandoned by 1847. The parish church of Charwelton still stands in the vicinity of the lost settlement and is isolated from today's village of Charwelton.

The Site
The earthwork remains can be seen to the south and south-east side of the parish church. The most noticeable feature is a hollow way that runs from north to south from the river Cherwell up to the west of the church. On either side of this hollow way can be made out closes but most have been damaged by later agricultural activities. At the north end of the hollow way the definite site of a dwelling can be made out. There are also several remains of medieval ponds which can be distinguished around the site.

Ante Dabro (born 13 January 1938, Čavoglave, Croatia) is a Croatian-born Australian artist/sculptor and art teacher who has lived and worked in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory since the late 1960s.

Dabro's sculptures are typified by angular form; many are nudes and bronzes. His work is said to embody universal themes, "suffering, hope, sexuality, heroism, spirituality" but also silently acknowledge the 'outsider'.

Principal works

Staircase thefts
On the Staircase is a group of four stylised male figures, progressively smaller as they are further up a staircase of diminishing size, all in bronze. The figures are each reading a book. It cost $80,000. After it was again vandalised, in the local media it was attributed to Ante Dabro. Yet, it had been attributed correctly weeks earlier by another outlet to Danish artist, Keld Moseholm Dabro was quoted in local media, as being upset to the vandalism of art, perhaps adding to the confusion among the media. The smallest figure was removed on 8 December 2013, with the act visible on footage from a CCTV camera, with two women shown shortly before the theft. After the publicity, on the following day the figure was handed into a local ACT Police station.
