Shuotherium is a fossil mammal known from Middle-Late Jurassic of the Forest Marble Formation of England, and the Shaximiao Formation of Sichuan, China.

The original holotype is composed of a partial dentary and seven teeth (two which are incomplete).  The holotypes for other species of this genus are solely represented by isolated molars.  Shuotherium, along with Pseudotribos has been placed in the family Shuotheriidae as a sister taxon of the Australosphenida (see, Yinotheria), making it a relative of modern monotremes. However, some studies place it and other shuothereres as closer to therian mammals.

Description
In the lower molars, the talonid is situated in front of the trigonid, such a unique dental form is distinct from the typical tribosphenic pattern.  In this "pseudotribosphenic" trait, the mesial cingulid is expanded to form a pseudotalonid, and its distal talonid is underdeveloped.  It shares with Australosphenida a thin, slender lower jaw but differs from the non-monotreme Ausktribosphenida by having more developed postdentary trough.  Its dental formula has been reconstructed as: p4, m3 (four premolars, three molars).

Mikhail Vasilyevich Naumenko, better known as Mike Naumenko (, 18 April 1955 – 27 August 1991) was a Soviet rock musician, singer-songwriter and interpreter, leader of the band Zoopark.

Born in Leningrad, in the 1970s he was a member of the Russian rock group Aquarium, and in 1981 he formed Zoopark, which became one of the most outstanding blues rock groups of USSR. Naumenko is considered one of the best lyricists of Russian rock, although drawing heavily on Bob Dylan and other UK/US songwriters, and occasionally retaining the original melody as well. Some of Naumenko's songs are more or less faithful translations or remakes of English language source material (the notions of copyright and plagiarism being hardly established in the Soviet Union, especially as regards works created on the other side of the Iron Curtain). Largely imitative, Naumenko's input was yet very significant as he adapted the Western rock tradition to Russian culture and the urban realities of Leningrad.

Early years
Mikhail Naumenko studied at a "school with an intensive English-language program" in Leningrad, where he got his stage name, "Mike", presumably from his English teacher.

Naumenko became interested in music at the age of 8, when he heard a Beatles song for the first time from the street while he was standing on a balcony. The first rock bands that attracted his attention were The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Jefferson Airplane; also he collected magazine articles about T. Rex, The Doors and David Bowie.  At the age of 15, he started playing guitar and writing his first songs. The lyrics of his first songs were in English, but in 1972–1973 he switched to Russian under the influence of his close friend, Boris Grebenshchikov. Besides music, he had lifetime interests in aeromodeling and in translating from English to Russian, which also started while he was at school.

After he graduated from high school, having followed an advice from his father, Mike went to Saint-Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, but during his 4th year of study he lost interest in the subject and dropped out. He worked as a sound engineer in Bolshoi Puppet Theatre (Russian: Большой театр кукол), then as a watchman. All this time Mike remained a musician.

Naumenko started his musical career in little-known Leningrad rock bands, such as "Soyuz Lyubiteley Muzyki Rock" ("Union of Lovers of Rock-Music", Russian: "Союз любителей музыки рок") and "Vokalno-instrumentalnaya gruppirovka imeni Chacka Berry" ("Vocal-instrumental Band Named in Honor of Chuck Berry", Russian: "Вокально-инструментальная группировка им. Чака Берри"), which mostly played classical rock-n-roll songs from 1950s – 1970s. In the second half of 1970s, he performed with Aquarium, a prominent Leningrad rock band, as a guitarist.

In the summer of 1978, Naumenko and Boris Grebenshchikov (the leader of Aquarium) recorded an acoustic album "Vse brat'ya – sestry" ("All Brothers are Sisters", Russian: "Все братья – сестры"). The recording was done with a "Mayak-202", a serial soviet tape recorder, on the bank of Neva River in Leningrad. The themes of the songs were heavily influenced by the creative works of Bob Dylan. The only instruments used were a guitar and a harmonica, and the recording quality was far from perfect. However, many songs from this album later became very well known on the Russian rock scene.

Two years later, in the summer of 1980, Mike recorded his first solo album called "Sladkaya N i Drugie" ("Sweet N and Others", Russian: "Сладкая N и другие") with the help of Boris Grebenshchikov and Vyacheslav Zorin (guitar). The recording took place in the studio of Bolshoi Puppet Theatre. The total number of recorded songs was 32, however only 15 of them were included in the album. The album quickly became famous in Moscow, and Mike became recognizable as a "Bob Dylan from Leningrad".

Naumenko's lyrical muse has been identified as the Leningrad artist Tatyana Apraksina, as reflected in songs such as "Sweet N," "If It Rains," "Your River's Blues" and "Morning for Two". According to Naumenko, in a late interview, "All my songs are dedicated to her."

Zoopark
In 1981, Naumenko organized the Zoopark rock band in which he was a lead vocalist and an art director until his death. With his band, he traveled a lot and visited many cities of the USSR.

Naumenko's vocals weren't great so he performed his songs in recitative style. He obtained popularity mostly because the lyrics of his songs were full of irony and satire. The majority of his songs were a first-person narrative, though, as he claimed in the interviews, it didn't mean that this person was himself.

The lyrics of Naumenko's songs were often translations or interpretations of the Western rock songs of Bob Dylan, Lou Reed or T. Rex. Sometimes he left the original melody intact too, e.g., one could compare "Zolotie Lvi" ("Golden Lions", "Золотые львы") and "Pozvoni mne rano utrom" ("Call Me Early in the Morning", "Позвони мне рано утром") with Dylan's "Idiot Wind" and "Meet Me in the Morning"; or "Ya lublu bugi-vugi" ("I love Boogie-Woogie", "Я люблю буги-вуги") with "I Love to Boogie". There was no "plagiarism"-related agenda in the specifics of USSR, thus Mike's "recipiency" was accepted as a way to digest the Western musical and lyrical traditions in the Russian way.

Late years and death
In the late 1980s, Mike started facing troubles related to health and household issues, mainly due to alcohol abuse. The ability to move of his left hand deteriorated and he could hardly play the guitar. His wife also left him.

Naumenko died in Leningrad on 27 August 1991, at the age of 36, as a result of cerebral hemorrhage caused by an accident in his flat.

However, there's another version to the story. Zoopark's drummer Valeriy Kirillov states that the reason for Mike's death was cerebral hemorrhage, but it wasn't of a natural cause. The real reason was a fracture of the skull base that Mike received during a robbery attack near his house. This was allegedly confirmed by the fact that Mike's personal belongings were absent. Also, there was allegedly a witness who saw somebody help Mike get up from the ground. After the assault, Mike was able to get to his apartment where he eventually collapsed and laid unconscious without being noticed. When finally he was discovered and an ambulance was summoned, it was too late. However, many people who knew the details of his death don't confirm this version.

Naumenko was buried in Volkovo Cemetery, Saint Petersburg.

Legacy
Mike's memory has been honored with numerous tribute albums (see Discography below) and in other creative works including a 2009 novel and a "blues opera" that premiered in 2011. A collection of Naumenko's complete writings – including his samizdat translation of Richard Bach's Illusions  — was being prepared for publication in 2015.

He appears as a character in Leto, a 2018 Russian biographical film about Viktor Tsoi, where he is played by Roman Bilyk.

Anastasia Dimitrova () (12 May 1815 – 1894) was the first Bulgarian female teacher of the National Revival period. In 1840, she established in her native city of Pleven the first girls' school in the Bulgarian lands.

Early life and education
Dimitrova was born in Pleven on 12 May 1815 to poor Bulgarian parents: her mother was a servant in Agapius, the bishop of Vratsa's home. She began her education with the bishop's mother. In 1836–1839, she continued to study in the Kalofer nunnery, not only with the nuns, but also with well-known teachers such as Rayno Popovich and Botyo Petkov. She studied history, geography, arithmetic and grammar.

Career
In October 1840, she founded a secular girls' school based on the Bell-Lancaster method in her native Pleven. The school was sponsored by Bishop Agapius and employed Church Slavonic books; besides Bulgarian, the girls were also taught Greek. Although her educational activities suffered a short interruption, she continued her work in 1842. By 1845, the Pleven school was visited by 90 girls from Pleven, Lovech, Troyan, Tarnovo, Vratsa and other cities. Some of Dimitrova's former pupils founded schools in their respective hometowns. Upon marrying in 1852, Dimitrova left the school but continued to work as a private tutor to around 10 girls, along with her former student Mita Gegova.

Later life
A devout Christian, Dimitrova visited Jerusalem in 1894, became a nun under the religious name Anna and died shortly thereafter in the Holy Land.

Old Main is a building on the campus of Augsburg University in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood.  It was built in 1901 at a cost of $35,000, designed by the St. Paul firm of Omeyer and Thori and built by Charles F. Haglin, who built other structures such as the Lumber Exchange Building and the Peavey–Haglin Experimental Concrete Grain Elevator.  The building, originally known as "New Main", was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

The building is large and symmetrical, evoking a classical architectural style.  When it opened, it contained a chapel, gymnasium, classrooms, library and museum.  It became the center of campus activity and a point of pride for the college.  It has not been altered significantly from its original design.  It retains its architectural integrity, as well as its historical and educational significance.  A number of renovations in 1980 aimed to improve energy efficiency while preserving architectural details from the past.

Bodil Katharine Biørn (27 May 1871 – 22 July 1960), also known as Mother Katharine, was a Norwegian missionary.

Biography
Biørn was born on 27 January 1871 in Kragerø, Norway, to the family of a wealthy ship owner. In 1905, after studying nursing in Germany, she was sent by the Women's Missionary Organization to the Ottoman Empire and worked as a missionary nurse in Mezereh, Kharberd Province and later in Mush. In cooperation with German missionaries, she opened schools and a clinic for widows and orphans. A witness of the Armenian genocide, she and her colleagues saved the lives of many homeless women and children. She also documented the horrifying and tragic events she witnessed through her testimonial diary and her photography. In the Near East, Biørn took care of Armenian orphans in Syria, Armenia and Turkey. In 1922 she founded an orphanage named "Lusaghbyur" in Alexandropol, Soviet Armenia. She continued her work by helping Armenian refugees in Syria and Lebanon. She died in Oslo on 22 July 1960.

At the initiative of the Armenian community of Aleppo, a statue honoring Bodil Biørn was created and shipped to the city of Kragerø and erected there in 2004. A delegation from Aleppo headed up by Jirair Reisian attended the ceremony.

She is the subject of the movies Map of Salvation (2015) and They Call Me Mother (2008).

Knucklehead was a Canadian punk rock group formed in Calgary, Alberta in 1994.  Influenced by such punk groups as Bad Religion, Stiff Little Fingers, Cocksparrer, Billy Bragg and Social Distortion.

History
Knucklehead played their first show in 1995 at The Night Gallery in Calgary, Alberta and their recording history started almost as soon as the band was formed. They recorded their first demo tape in early 1994, and in 1995 released a 10" EP Ode to the Old Reliables. In 1996 their first full-length studio album Another Neurotic Episode was released on the independent Calgary based label Melodiya Records. In 1997 the band released a 7" white vinyl single on Sloth records (Calgary) called "When The Music Hits". It was part of the "Ship and Anchor Cocktail series", a string of 7" records that were themed as drinks (Knuckleheads was a white Russian). After touring eastern Canada and the United States, the band was picked up by Florida-based label Far Out Records and released a self-titled 7" and their second full-length studio album Little Boots in 1998. Knucklehead toured extensively across Canada and the United States in this period.

After the collapse of Far Out Records and the addition of a new drummer, Knucklehead began the recording of their 2001 release Voice Among Us on their own label, Whiskey Voice Records. The album was later licensed to Longshot Music and Belgium's Ghetto Rock Records for re-release in North America and Europe. In 2003 the band released their CD/EP Hostage Radio which contained a video for the song "Plight of the Living Dead". This video received numerous requests and air time on Canada's Much Music program The Punk Show. The band got a new guitarist and drummer in 2003, and with the new members they recorded a cover of the Stompin' Tom Connors classic "Canadian Lumberjack" for the Tom Connors tribute CD Bring Your Own Plywood. Knucklehead released another 7" in 2004 on Longshot Music entitled "Cosmetic Youth". Knucklehead released their fourth full-length studio album The New Black List on Stumble Records in 2005. The end of 2008 saw Knucklehead release another 7" on Longshot Music, this time a split with some friends from Toronto called Hostage Life.
Their 2010 full length "Hearts on fire" was released again on Stumble records with the LP version coming out a year later on Longshot.
In 2013 the guys released a 7" on Pirates Press records.

Members
From their first show in 1995, Knucklehead has been kept together by its founding three members. Originally a three piece band composed of Clayton MacNeill on guitar, Matt Young on Bass and Kyle Hegel on drums and vocals. The band remained this way up until 1999, when Casie Lewis took over drumming duty, This allowed Kyle to focus primarily on vocals.In 2001 Kris Lesak was recruited as the new drummer and Joel Diemer was also added as a second guitar. The look of the group changed again in 2003 when the band added Jimmy James (guitar) and Eric Jablonski also replaced drummer Kris Lesak.

Aryeh Leib Frumkin (; 1845–1916) was a rabbi, Zionist, a founder and pioneer of Petah Tikva, the first moshava created in by the Jewish community. He also was an author of halachic texts, a teacher, and operator of a wine shop, L. Frumkin and Company.

Biography
Aryeh Leib Frumkin was born in Kelmė, Lithuania in 1845. He immigrated to Eretz Yisrael (Mutassarifate of Jerusalem, Syrian provinces of the Ottoman Empire at the time) before the First Aliyah in 1871. His great-grandson, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, wrote, "My great-grandfather Rabbi Arye Leib Frumkin went to Israel in 1871; his father had settled there twenty years earlier. His first act was to begin writing his History of the Sages in Jerusalem, chronicling the Jewish presence there since Nachmanides arrived in 1265."  While there he founded the settlement of Petah Tikva in which he built the first house and helped to drain the malaria-ridden swamps. His planting of the first tree there is emblazoned on the seal of the municipality and there is a street named after him.

Frumkin moved to London, England in 1893 after an Arab attack on Petah Tikva. In London's East End he operated a family wine shop. He later returned to Petah Tikva.

He died in 1916 in Petah Tikva, where he was buried.

Legacy
Frumkin is the great-grandfather of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, the previous Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom.

Technical lettering is the process of forming letters, numerals, and other characters in technical drawing. It is used to describe, or provide detailed specifications for, an object. With the goals of legibility and uniformity, styles are standardized and lettering ability has little relationship to normal writing ability.   Engineering drawings use a Gothic sans-serif script, formed by a series of short strokes. Lower case letters are rare in most drawings of machines.

Methods of forming letters
Freehand lettering is done without the assistance of tools. To regulate lettering height, commonly 3 mm (-in), guidelines are drawn.

Mechanical lettering is done using tools such as lettering guides, templates, or using a small mechanical pantograph referred to by the Keuffel and Esser trademark "Leroy"

Modern drawings are lettered with computer-aided design software.

Freehand lettering

The letters to be drawn, though freehanded, should be stable and graceful. In some cases stability is impossible; for example, P and F are unavoidably top-heavy.  In other cases the stability and grace of the letters may be maintained either by drawing the lower parts of the letters like B,E etc. wider than the upper parts, or by drawing the horizontal line at the center of these letters just above their geometric axis. (Exception: In case of the letter A, the horizontal member is drawn below the geometric center, to maintain equality of areas below and above the center line. If a horizontal line is drawn exactly at the center, then the difference in the areas of the triangle above the line and the trapezium below the line is much larger. This creates an unusual effect to our eyes.)

Emphasis should be on the overall beauty of a word, rather than individual letters.

Most freehand lettering is done in a "gothic" style, i.e., with a constant line thickness; either "straight gothic", with vertical strokes perpendicular to the baseline, or "inclined gothic", with vertical strokes at about 75°.

Mechanical lettering

Mechanical lettering is sometimes done using a pantograph, a device consisting of four bars ("links") which are pinned to each other to form a parallelogram. The links can pivot about these pins. The lowermost link of the parallelogram is fixed to two rigid supports. One vertical link at one end is connected to a profile tracer, which traces the profile of the letter to be drawn, and the second vertical link and the other horizontal link are jointly connected to a pencil that draws the exact shape of the profile traced.

Dimensions of letters
 The Nominal Size of lettering is defined by the height (h) of the outline contour of the upper-case (capital).
 Central Line is the imaginary line in the middle of each line or line element which is a constitutive part of a graphic character set.
 If we consider d as the width of the line element and h as the height of the line element, then the two standard ratios for d/h are: 1/14 and 1/10, which are feasible because they result in a minimum number of line thicknesses.
 Location of Central Lines –  The nominal size (h) and the spacing between characters (a) shall be taken as the basis for defining the central line.
Range of Nominal Sizes – The nominal size is typically one of the sequence 2.5 mm, 3.5 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm, 10 mm, 14 mm, 20 mm.  Successive members of this sequence are approximately in a ratio of the square root of 2, as in the ISO 216 series of paper sizes.
Lettering Angle – The lettering may be vertical (upright) or inclined (sloped) to the right at 75° from the horizontal. Compare oblique type.
 The spacing between two characters may be reduced by half, if this gives a better visual effect.
 Various letters are divided into number of parts so that dimensions will be accurate.
 The size of letter is described by its height. According to the height of letters, they are classified as Lettering A or Lettering B.

Something Weird is a 1967 American exploitation film directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis. It stars, among others, Tony McCabe and Elizabeth Lee and features a paranormal plot involving LSD drug use, a psychic, a hideous witch who morphs into a young woman, a séance, a kung-fu chopping socialite, ghosts, psychopaths and federal agents.

The film played on a double bill with another 1967 film by the same director, The Gruesome Twosome.

Plot

A man named Cronin Mitchell (Tony McCabe) survives a horrible electrical accident when a maintenance man falls from an electrical power line pole, and accidentally releases the power line he was attempting to attach. Mitchell attempts to help the man, but the electrical line thrusts into his face.  An ambulance arrives, where the paramedics discover that the maintenance man is dead, but that Mitchell is still alive, but in horrible pain. They place him on a stretcher and take him away in the ambulance.

In the next scene, Mitchell tosses and turns frantically in his hospital bed. Two doctors, named Dr. Roxin and Dr. White, examine him and it is discovered that Cronin Mitchell, due to this near-fatal electrical charge through his brain, has somehow given him Extra Sensory Perception. The two medical colleagues discuss Mitchell's horribly disfigured face and his apparent lack of will to live. Dr. Roxin convinces Dr. White, that ESP is real due to a series of ESP test cards.

After the disfigured Mitchell sexually harasses a local nurse who tends to him, she rebuffs his advances because of his scared face. After leaving the hospital, Mitchell retreats from the public and dons a black scarf and dark sunglasses to hide his appearance. Having lost his job and everything else, he begins giving private psychic readings out of his house for cheap prices. During a reading, a book titled 'Bible of the Witches' magically appears in his hands. Almost at once, an ugly hag of a woman enters and questions him about his psychic powers. Revealed to be a witch, the ugly hag makes Mitchell a proposition: in return for using her magic powers to restore his face to as it once was, Mitchell must agree to be her lover. Mitchell agrees and his face is instantly returned to its normal state, and the hag disappears.

Mitchell leaves his house for the first time in months since his accident and begins to explore his renewed and enhanced life. In a dive bar, Mitchell encounters the beautiful Ellen Parker (Elizabeth Lee). But to his curiosity, Mitchell cannot read Ellen's mind. They retire to her apartment for some alone make-out time. Suddenly without warning, Ellen transforms into the ugly hag and reveals herself, and orders him to keep his end of their deal. Mitchell very reluctantly submits to his slave status with this ugly witch.

Circumstances change when he attempts to use his psychic abilities to identify a serial killer who is committing murders in the small town of Jefferson, Wisconsin and runs head-to-head into a karate-happy government official, Alex Jordan (William Brooker), who has been sent by the federal government to work on the case. Detective Maddox of the Jefferson police force meets with Dr. Jordan and takes him to see Mitchell and his assistant Ellen, who is now accompanying Mitchell wherever he goes. Jordan is immediately smitten by the beautiful Ellen, but only Mitchell still sees her as an old hag whereas everyone else sees Ellen as a beautiful young woman. During the meeting to help find the elusive killer, Dr. Jordan produces a small container from his coat pocket and explains that it contains the hallucinogenic drug LSD. He advises Mitchell to take the drug and to meet with him the next day. Mitchell explains that he has no experience with the drug, but that he will, under the circumstances, do as he is asked.

At a party, Mitchell is asked to demonstrate his extraordinary powers. He does so by levitating a chair to the amazement of the onlookers. Next, Mitchell visits a church where he summons a ghost that has mysteriously laid claim to the unfortunate house of worship. The apparition appears, touches Mitchell and leaves. Mitchell states to the priest of the church that the ghost will not return for "she" only needed contact with humankind.

Meanwhile, Jordan is pursuing Ellen to seduce her, but she rebuffs all his advances by claiming that she belongs to Mitchell and he is her one and only lover. Ellen further explains that she and Mitchell are meant to be together until death. Jordan then attacks her in a moment of misogynist rage, but she fights him off. In an act of revenge, Ellen tells Mitchell what happened and insists that he kill Dr. Jordan before he can try to force himself on her again. But Mitchell refuses to kill Jordan by conventional means and decides an alternative. During one evening, Jordan retires to his hotel room bed alone and in a truly bizarre scene, is beset by his blue bed sheets. However, Jordan resorts to ripping the living blankets and escapes unscathed.

At the climax, Mitchell finally takes the LSD and during his "trip" he discovers that Detective Maddox is the serial killer. Somehow, Mitchell also surmises that the murderous and corrupt police detective intents to shoot him. Maddox does appear to kill Mitchell and shoots him right between the eyes. Jordan and the police arrive too late to help, but kill Maddox. Despite Mitchell being dead, the case is solved with Dr. Jordan taking all the credit for finding the killer, which he decides to make the move onto Ellen.

In the final scene, Jordan is with Ellen in his parked car making the moves on her. Ellen responds to his advances by kissing him in return. But just like with Mitchell earlier, she suddenly transforms into the ugly witch hag. In horror, Jordan runs out of the car and flees from the grotesque Ellen/Hag. Jordon unwittingly runs head-on into a fire flare at an excavation site and falls to the ground with part of his face horribly burned. The hag approaches him and offers to heal his injuries and restore his scared face with magic if he agrees to become her lover. Jordan agrees... and the vicious cycle is to continue all over again.

Lia Halloran (born 1977) is an American painter and photographer who lives and works in Los Angeles.

Life and education
Born in Chicago, IL., Lia Halloran grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area town of Pacifica, CA. Her youth was spent skateboarding and surfing, first given a skateboard at the age of five, and at the age of 15 was featured in Thrasher magazine. She developed an early love for science during high school at her first job, where she performed cow eye dissections and laser demonstrations at the Exploratorium in San Francisco. Her love for skateboarding, surfing, and science would later play an important role in her own understanding of art and creativity.

Halloran's formal education began at UCLA, where she received a BFA in 1999, and then Yale, where she received a MFA in Painting in Printmaking in 2001.

Halloran lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, and currently serves as Associate Professor of Art and Director of the Painting and Drawing Department at Chapman University in Orange, CA. She teaches painting, as well as courses she personally designed that explore the intersection of art and science. With an interdisciplinary approach towards her own work, an understanding of science provides a curious nature crucial to an artistic mind. One for adventure, Halloran's hobbies include flying planes.

Work
Halloran's studio practice is in constant dialogue between art and science. Originating through scientific concepts, her works interweave ideas of the natural world with those of physicality, sexuality, intimacy and movement. Her projects blend these ideas with that of mapping the physics of motion, as seen in The World Is Bound In Secret Knots and Dark Skate, or perception, scale, and giant crystal caves, as seen in The Only Way Out Is Through, or cabinets of curiosities and taxonomy, as seen in Wonder Room, or the periodic table of elements, as seen in Sublimation/Transmutation.

Halloran has been involved in several collaborative projects, including co-curating exhibitions, one with artist Rebecca Campbell titled, Better Far Pursue A Frivolous Trade By Serious Means, Than A Sublime Art Frivolously, and another exhibition about the nature of scale with physicist  Dr. Lisa Randall, titled Measure for Measure. Additionally, she is currently working a book with physicist Kip Thorne, which will include Halloran's paintings and Kip's prose about the warped side of the universe.

Halloran's work has been featured in numerous publications, including The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, The Boston Globe, and ArtNews. She has had solo exhibitions at the DCKT Contemporary (New York, NY), Martha Otero Gallery (Los Angeles, CA), Hilger NEXT (Vienna, Austria), Fredric Snitzer Gallery (Miami, FL), LaMontagne Gallery (Boston, MA) and Sandroni Rey (Los Angeles, CA). Her work has been acquired by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York, NY), The Speyer Family Collection (New York, NY), the Art Museum of South Texas (Corpus Christi, TX), and The Progressive Art Collection (Cleveland, OH).

The World Is Bound In Secret Knots
Halloran's series, The World Is Bound in Secret Knots (2005, acrylic and oil on panel), explores "physical forces of nature and the possibilities of how these forces interact with, intersect and fragment the body." The paintings are "two-dimensional visualizations of the experience of space flight, often showing female astronauts floating in space or engaged in some other gravity-defying activity." This series was first shown in 2006 at DCKT Contemporary in New York.

The Wonder Room
Halloran's The Wonder Room (2014) includes over 30 works based on specimens in the oldest science museum in Europe, La Specola. "The result is an image strange in nature because it is not entirely drawing, nor entirely a photograph either." Wunderkammer, translated as "wonder rooms," were the precursors to cabinets of curiosities, "which contained collections of objects, minerals, and taxidermy animals of the natural world which science had yet to categorize." These works based on the curiosities in La Specola started as "negative paintings" and were subsequently contact-printed in the darkroom to create the final artwork. The Wonder Room was shown at SACI's gallery in Florence, Italy in 2014.

Sublimation/Transmutation
Halloran's Sublimation/Transmutation (2011-2012, ink on drafting film) was shown at DCKT Contemporary 2011-2012 and later at Martha Otero Gallery in Los Angeles. These large-scale works "feature Halloran's unusual technique of laying ink on drafting film; the human form and the passage of time is simultaneously considered, where the organic body experiences a sublimation into the realm of the inanimate... Referencing rocks and crystals collected in Halloran's studio, the artist coerces the controlled movement of the ink from solution into solid." As a part of this series, Halloran created a reincarnation of the Periodic Table of Elements consisting of 118 paintings, titled Elements (2016, ink on drafting film), which "incorporates a synthesis of figures with minerals and crystalline forms." This incarnation of the Periodic Table of Elements re-interprets the historic grid and combines queer female figures, photographed by Halloran in Los Angeles over a period of 2 years, into various chemical states of the 118 elements.

Dark Skate

The haunting photographic series, Dark Skate (2008–present, c-prints), comments on the nature of physical being and spiritual essence in a contemporary world. Beginning in 2007, the ongoing series has been shot in the hidden and gritty architecture of various cities, including Los Angeles, Detroit, Miami, and Vienna.

The photos illustrate an after-image of Halloran's performance, as she rides a skateboard with a light-source attached to her body. The long exposure time of the photographs, upwards of forty minutes, captures a light-drawing of motion but not the artist herself. Dark Skate can be understood as a series of self-portraits, while her physicality is not depicted, her essence illuminates the urban scenes. Like the individual photos trace a course of action, the entire series traces back Halloran's own biography: paying homage to her youth as a female skateboarder and surfer, and how it has merged with her own understanding and study of astrophysics. These experiences taught Halloran the meaning of a body in space, and how to trace her own path as she travels through the dark.

While biographical, the series speaks of humanity on a much larger scale; specifically the human experience and interaction within the modern phenomenon of a concrete jungle. As infrastructure and industrialization replace the natural environment, the human spirit seems to have lost an intimate connection to its surroundings. The actual labor and process of Dark Skate addresses this modern disconnect, and humanizes the physical experience of living in the urban world.

This work has had solo exhibitions at DCKT Contemporary in New York, LaMontagne Gallery in Boston, MA, Fredric Snitzer Gallery in Miami, FL, Ernst Hilger Gallery in Vienna, Austria, and Pulse, London, England. The piece, Griffith Park (2007), was included in the exhibition, Haunted: Contemporary Photography, Video and Performance at the Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain, and is now in the permanent collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. This series was reviewed in The New York Times, New York Magazine, The New Yorker, LA Weekly, The Boston Globe, Time Out New York, and Artillery Magazine.

Deep Sky Companion

Halloran's series, Deep Sky Companion (2013, cliché-verre prints), is a permanent installation of 110 circular works at The Cahill Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics, at Caltech in Pasadena, CA. This series delves deep into the universe to explore the mystery between the known and unknown. Her collection references the scientific discoveries of deep sky objects, classified and catalogued by French astronomer, Charles Messier (1730–1817). As Messier translated his observations into reproductions, Halloran illustrates her own response to the 110 astronomical findings. While in a more simple pursuit of comets, Messier's unexpected observations were far greater, discovering whole galaxies and interstellar nebulae. In a similarly exploratory fashion, Halloran's procedure is largely a matter of chance, as the inks and prints are whim to natural and chemical processes. While entirely calculated, Halloran's works channel a similar uncertainty Messier faced. She reinterprets Messier's personal experience, enlivening a mystery and wonder that is often lost to scientific frustrations. Deep Sky Companion does not dwell in the unknown, but is energized by the fascinations of mystery. Halloran collaborated with architect David Ross to create the perfect physical and structural layout for the exhibition. The 110 photographic works climb upwards through three stories of architect Thom Mayne's unique building of slanted ceilings and extreme planes, forcing viewers to mimic the physical experience of astronomers observing objects in deep space.

Your Body is a Space That Sees

In the series, Your Body is a Space That Sees (2016-2017, cyanotype print), Halloran continues the theme of exploring scientific classification systems by re-investigating the timeline of discovery to unearth influential women who contributed to the foundations of modern astronomy. This large-scale series of cyanotypes is dedicated to the discoveries these women participated in, the impact on the field of which is often overlooked.

This group of women, known as the “Harvard Computers,” classified the brightness, size, and chemical composition of stars. In partnership with the Harvard University Archive, Halloran's work references the photographic plates used by these women to catalogue their research. With the support of an Art Works Grant from the National Endowment of the Arts in partnership with Chapman University, Halloran was able to conduct extensive research on these women, in order to create astonishing images of the night sky.

The cyanotypes are created through a scientific and experimental process, by painting the images on semitransparent drafting film. Next, they are pressed on paper glazed with light-sensitive emulsion and exposed to the sun, creating a positive image. This process mimics that of the Harvard Computer's astronomical plates, essentially creating a photographic print without the use of a camera. Stepping away from the often formulaic process of science, Halloran's pieces do not dwell in accuracy, but instead offers an active experience, re-igniting the spirit of the universe.

Your Body Is a Space That Sees has been shown in multiple exhibitions at institutions including Luis De Jesus Los Angeles, LUX Institute, Schneider Museum of Art in Ashland, Oregon, University of Maryland, Santa Barbara Museum of Art,  and also in two large-scale exhibitions in Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 at LAX as part of an invitation from a partnership between LAWA and the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. This work has been reviewed in The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The San Diego Tribune, Diamondback News, and Space.com.

Double Horizon
Halloran's first video installation, Double Horizon (2019), features a 3-channel piece with footage of Halloran exploring Los Angeles from the sky, filmed by attaching cameras to a small Cessna plane while she was learning to fly. Exploring the city around her is an extension of her photographic series Dark Skate.  "Her ongoing investigations into the personal, physical, psychological, and scientific exploration of space are the primary focus of these new works as the viewer encounters Halloran both skateboarding the vast urban landscape of Los Angeles and flying above and around its dynamic terrain." "The journey of 'Double Horizon' is one guided by the artist herself, as the piece acts both as a video portrait of Halloran’s flight experience and as an homage to Los Angeles."

This piece has been shown at Luis De Jesus Los Angeles, Art Center's Mullins Gallery, The University of Maryland, and The Exploratorium in San Francisco. Halloran gave an interview about this work in Flaunt magazine.

Solar
Commissioned by the Simons Foundation, Halloran’s 10-foot x 11-foot painted cyanotype, Solar, is installed at the Flatiron Institute Center for Computational Astrophysics in New York. Solar's large-scale cyanotypes and their painted negatives pay homage to the sun. Additional works also a part of the Solar series were featured in the 2021 The Sun Burns My Eyes Like Moons installation at Luis De Jesus Los Angeles: "Cyanotypes are created by exposing paper coated with photo-reactive chemicals directly to sunlight; but in Halloran’s work, capturing the rays of the sun as a material in her technique is only one aspect — the imagery and symbolism present in the compositions is furthermore about rendering the sun itself. Her images derivative of the symmetrical progressions of solar eclipses were made by harnessing the sun’s own rays, so that what results is both a direct dynamic embodiment and an affecting allegorical narrative at the same time."

Publications

The Warped Side of the Universe
Over a period of over 13 years, Lia Halloran and Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne collaborated on creating a book of poetry and paintings titled The Warped Side of the Universe, for which Lia Halloran created nearly 500 individual paintings, approximately 100 of which are featured in the final publication (October 2023, Norton/ Liveright). The Warped Side of the Universe, featuring Thorne's poetry alongside Halloran's paintings, doubles as a vehicle for communicating major scientific breakthroughs of our time to a wide audience.

Recognition
As an artist who often incorporates science and nature to create projects that draw from scientific materials, historical influences, and identities, Lia Halloran has participated in a wide range of interdisciplinary collaborations with scientists and architects, including an upcoming book with Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne about the ‘Warped Side of the Universe.’ Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums nationally and internationally, and she is the recipient of various awards including an Art Works Grant from the National Endowment of the Arts, The City of Los Angeles Visual Artist Fellowship, a residency at Caltech and the Huntington Research Institute, a residency at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn, NY, and a residency at the American Natural History Museum Astrophysics Department in New York, among others. Her work is included in various permanent collections including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, and permanent installations at the Simons Foundation in New York and the Cahill Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Caltech in Pasadena, CA.

Mario Gully – also known professionally as O.M.G. – is an American comic book artist, who created the comic book series Ant. Ant was first picked up by Arcana Studios[1] and later moved to Image Comics where it would deal with more adult themes, leading to an incident where Gully had to issue an apology for a partial nude scene.[2] The comic book would move again to Big City Comics[3] where three further issues were published. Mario Gully later moved from the Independent pool of comics to go on and draw for Marvel Comics. Collaboration with several artists, including Matt Nixon, J.Scott Campbell, Joe Benitez, Roy Thomas, and Thomas Riviere, Mario Gully worked as an illustrator. He also has drawn Marvel Illustrated: Treasure Island adapted by legendary writer Roy Thomas with whom he would also work on the adaptation of Kidnapped,[4] Marvel Adventures Hulk, and Exiles

Work

Ant
Ant is an comic book series that is created by Mario Gully. Ant is the story about a girl who understands adult world faster than other kids. When she gets bullied by her schoolmates, she decides to create an imaginary world on drawing paper and create a super hero, the Ant. According to Gully,

After the prison, he studied by himself and worked with Matt Nixon for Ant comic series. Gully's art style is influenced by Greg Capullo who worked on Batman series.

Mario Gully successfully published and sold the first Ant with J.Scott Campbell, Joe Benitez and Matt Nixon who wrote Wolverine. After the success, Ant was moved into Image Comics, a comic book publisher company. Ant became more popular while Mario Gully was improving his art skill and became better writer and artist.

Mario Gully had a problem with inappropriate contents in issue #8 of Ant. In the issue #8, it contains profanity and nudity that made people to upset. Mario Gully responded that he was trying to introduce rough characters, but he went farther than he expected to be. Because of that, he decided to go through the issues and edit some of the problems. Also, Gully would make sure that the problem would not happen again in the future.

While he was in Image Comics, the company announced that Ant had been cancelled because of the mutual painting style. Mario had no choice but moving to another publisher, Big City Comics. After the moving, he published Ant new series, Ant:Unleashed and work on Marvel's projects.

In 2012, Mario sold his character Ant to Savage Dragon creator and Image comics founder Erik Larsen. Mario's final Ant cover appeared on a variant cover for Ant #12, which was published on June 9, 2021.

Kidnapped
Mario Gully teamed up with Roy Thomas, a writer and a former Marvel Editor-in-chief, and published a new comic book called Kidnapped. Kidnapped is a 19th-century adventure novel that Thomas brought it into a comic book series. Kidnapped is about the sixteen year old young adult who got forced to join a ship by an uncle and go through adventure. Thomas and Gully aimed at an all age adventure story. Gully had to adapt his art style to classical art style and he successfully made old looking illustration. Thomas said he would like to reteam up with Gully again for another project.

Treasure Island
Treasure Island is a comic book that Gully worked on as an illustrator. "Contains material originally published in magazine form as Marvel Illustrated: Treasure Island, $1-6 Fifteen men on the dead man's chest-- yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!' With this sinister snatch of piratical song echoing along the English coast, the mysterious Billy Bones ushers young Jim Hawkins into an undreamed-of world of danger and adventure on the far-flung, mist-shrouded Treasure Island. And over it all looms the towering shadow of the most famous corsair of them all-- the ever-scheming, intriguing, and enigmatic Long John Silver' -- from dust jacket back"

 Dirty Bones
Mario Gully launched new comic book series on Kickstarter, a crowdfunding site. The new comic book, Dirty Bones, was written and illustrated by Gully and colored by Thomas Mason. The story is about a dog who caught up a world organized crime and forbidden love. Gully's crowdfund goal had aimed at $50,000. He said "This is my first big project since I created Ant." However, the funding was failed with $17,532 and 145 backers.

 Mario Gully's first sketchbook
Mario Gully's project, Original Mario Gully's very first Sketchbook, had successfully crowdfunded on Indiegogo, a crowdfunding site. Gully, his agent, and Thomas Riviere launched this project after many requests from people. The crowdfunding project includes commissions and signed prints. Gully said he is very exciting since this is his first book that contains his sketch drawings. For this funding goal, he aimed at $3,000 and it was successful with $5,002 and 152 backers.

The Armenian Cemetery of Moscow (, , Armyanskoe Vagan'kovskoe Kladbishche) is an Armenian historical cemetery in Moscow, Russia  It is located in the Krasnaya Presnya (Красная Пресня) district, not far from Vagankovo Cemetery. The cemetery was established in 1804 by the initiative of Minas Lazarev, the leader Moscow’s Armenian community, who also initiated the construction of the Surb Harutyun Armenian church (1808–1815). The Lazarev family crypt is located under the church. The cemetery and the church are under state protection. Among the state-protected monuments are the obelisk on A.A. Loris-Melikov's tomb (1844), Ananov's tombs (constructed by medieval Armenian canons) , khachkar on D.S. Melik-Beglyarov's tomb (1913), and the modernist gravestone for Nikolai Tarasov sculpted by Nikolai Andreev. The Armenian Cemetery is also the resting place for the remains of people who were not of Armenian descent.

The buckingham (symbol: B) is a CGS unit of electric quadrupole, named in honour of the chemical physicist A. David Buckingham who was the first to measure a molecular quadrupole moment. It is defined as . This is equivalent to 1 debye-ångström, where 1 debye =  is the CGS unit of molecular dipole moment and 1 ångström = .

One buckingham corresponds to the quadrupole moment resulting from two opposing dipole moments of equal magnitude of 1 debye that are separated by a distance of 1 ångström, a typical bond length. This is analogous to the debye for the dipole moment of two opposing charges of  separated by 1 ångström, and the name Buckingham for the unit was suggested by Peter Debye in 1963 in honour of Buckingham.

Woodpigeon are a Canadian indie pop collective founded in Calgary and presently based in Montréal. It is led by and performs the songs of Mark Andrew Hamilton.  Woodpigeon have released six studio albums, and a number of EPs to critical acclaim, and Hamilton has worked with over 75 collaborators both on record and in live performance. Live, Woodpigeon is often a solo project incorporating loops and layered vocals.

When asked about the band's name, Hamilton explains: "I've always been in love with the word Woodpigeon for as long as I can remember. When you write it in cursive, it looks like a rollercoaster."

The band's sound has been compared to Sufjan Stevens, Grizzly Bear, Talk Talk, Camera Obscura, Simon & Garfunkel, and Belle & Sebastian, amongst others. Band leader Mark Hamilton's main lyrical influence is The Kinks.

Career

Woodpigeon's origins are found with primary songwriter Mark Andrew Hamilton writing songs in Edinburgh, Scotland. At this time, the band was named Woodpigeon Divided By Antelope Equals Squirrel and consisted of Hamilton alongside Steve Kaye and Malcolm Benzie (who went on to form Edinburgh slowcore band eagleowl and performs with Withered Hand). Hamilton states that he "was far too scared to ever sing, so all we ever played was a couple of stupid instrumentals and our only "performance" was in the streets of Edinburgh." Eventually, Hamilton returned to Canada, and started afresh, with the shortened band name, Woodpigeon. Other band members fell in place, with Hamilton noting that: "the way it came together was simplistic: friends started hearing my songs and offering their services."

The band's first full-length album, entitled Songbook, was released in late 2006. Following its release, the band opened for Broken Social Scene, Iron and Wine, Grizzly Bear, and Calexico. In 2007, Hamilton co-founded the Sled Island Music and Arts Festival in Calgary, serving as the festival's first artist curator. With their popularity growing, Woodpigeon toured the UK, Ireland, and Germany in 2008. That October they performed a pair of "Homecoming" shows in Calgary and Edmonton as an opener for Iron and Wine.

The band self-released an album, Treasury Library Canada, in early August 2008, selling nearly all 1,000 hand-folded copies within a fortnight. The band also re-released their debut album Songbook in the UK on September 29, 2008. Treasury Library Canada was officially re-released in February 2009 as a double album with the ukulele-based Houndstooth Europa collection as Treasury Library Canada c/w Houndstooth Europa, and was long-listed for the 2009 Polaris Prize. Woodpigeon played with acts as varied as The Constantines, Plants & Animals, Mount Eerie and Grizzly Bear, and Hamilton served as the curator of the first annual Sled Island Festival in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The band's third album, Die Stadt Muzikanten, was released on January 12, 2010, with Hamilton stating that it is "simultaneously a lot bigger, and a lot smaller. There's definitely some big surprises on it". A limited Record Store Day release of the album was accompanied with a bonus LP titled BALLADEER/to all the guys i've loved before, featuring songs recorded with producers Steve Albini, Howard Bilerman, and S. Husky Höskulds, and a duet with Beth Jeans Houghton. The record was re-released as a stand-alone album on limited edition vinyl. Woodpigeon has since toured extensively as a headliner, and as opener for Andrew Bird, Horse Feathers, José González and Junip, and also appeared at the 2011 Meltdown Festival curated by Ray Davies on the Bandstand Busking stage. The same year they played as part of the Canadian Blast showcase for Canadian bands at London's prestigious Barbican, garnering positive reviews.

In an interview with Xtra! in early 2010, Hamilton spoke in part about how his identity as a gay man influences his songwriting.

In 2011, Hamilton participated in the National Parks Project, collaborating with musicians Laura Barrett and Cadence Weapon and filmmaker Peter Lynch, to produce and score a short film about Alberta's Waterton Lakes National Park. The Fra Le Nuvole EP was released later in 2011, collecting together two EP-length singles released from Die Stadt Muzikanten. Woodpigeon made their first national tour of Canada in 2011, alongside The Phonemes and The Mountains & the Trees. Transportation for the tour was completed by Via Rail, including performances on the moving trains.

The For Paolo EP followed in January 2012, marking Hamilton's move to Vienna, Austria, followed that September by Diamonds, an album-length collection of outtakes available only online and at live shows, featuring a duet cover of Paul McCartney's Michael Jackson duet "Say Say Say" with Louise Hull. Following a year of touring alongside Junip, Andrew Bird and Patrick Wolf, Woodpigeon appeared at the 2012 Iceland Airwaves Festival in Reykjavik.

Woodpigeon signed to London-based Fierce Panda Records for the 2013 release of Thumbtacks + Glue. The album was accompanied by two adjacent single releases: Edinburgh featuring B-side Little Magnet and a bonus 10-song download LP and Red Rover, Red Rover featuring B-side Sofia + Sam. The Edinburgh video features appearances by noted Edinburgh musicians eagleowl, Rob St. John and Withered Hand.

Hamilton began 2013 with a self-curated Reykjavik-Calgary Musicians Exchange Project as part of Calgary's One Yellow Rabbit's High Performance Rodeo. The assembled group of six musicians, featuring Reykjavik's Benedikt H. Hermannsson (Benni Hemm Hemm) and Svavar Pétur Eysteinsson Häsler (Prins Póló) alongside Calgarians Clinton St. John, Samantha Savage Smith and Laura Leif, wrote an album's worth of music in Iceland which was then presented at the 2013 Rodeo at Calgary's Festival Hall. The album was subsequently recorded at The Banff Centre by producer Graham Lessard, and released in late 2014 as EMBASSYLIGHTS. The band performed at the 2014 Iceland Airwaves Festival in Reykjavik to commemorate the release. The following year, an expanded lineup of EMBASSYLIGHTS including poet Ragnar Helgi Olafsson undertook a tour of Western Canada, including performances at the Islendingadagurinn Festival in Gimli, Manitoba.

In 2015, Woodpigeon released a split 7-inch with Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub, and a split 10-inch with Rob St. John featuring artwork by painter Jake Bee. A lengthy solo tour alongside Withered Hand throughout Europe followed, as well as soundtrack work for the Italian feature film Short Skin, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival. A limited edition 7-inch of the soundtrack was also released, featuring four songs from the sessions.

Woodpigeon's sixth album, T R O U B L E, was released on 1 April 2016. Largely written in Buenos Aires, Argentina and recorded on Vancouver Island and in Toronto, the record was produced by Sandro Perri and features appearances by David Thomas Broughton and Mary Margaret O'Hara. The album holds a 71% rating on Metacritic. Mojo reviewed the record, calling it a "masterpiece" and noted, "This is the work of an artist who, seemingly despite himself, has turned into a major contender." In November 2017 the Devastating EP was released, featuring B-sides and remixes from the T R O U B L E sessions.

In webposts the recording of a new Woodpigeon album was announced as well as the project Frontperson together with Kathryn Calder from the band The New Pornographers. Frontperson's first album Frontrunner was released in 2018, garnering strong reviews from Bust, Stereogum and The Guardian, who named the pair, "two of Canada's finest" indie songwriters. Parade, the duo's second album as Frontperson, was released in April 2022.

Faucaria is a genus of around 8 species of succulent subtropical flowering plants of the family Aizoaceae. The name comes from the Latin word fauces (“animal mouth”) because of the appearance of "teeth" on the leaves.

Faucaria species are native to the Cape Province of South Africa and the Karoo Desert.

Description

Small plants of 8 cm diameter, with thick triangular leaves. On the edges of the leaves there are upright teeth in opposite pairs that looks like an animal mouth. It may become bushy.

The plants are light green, turning purple if exposed  to strong sunshine.

Golden yellow flowers appear in the center of the rosette.

Species
Faucaria species accepted by the Plants of the World Online as of November 2022:
Faucaria bosscheana
Faucaria britteniae
Faucaria felina
Faucaria gratiae
Faucaria nemorosa
Faucaria subintegra
Faucaria tigrina
Faucaria tuberculosa

Cultivation
Put the plants in small pots with a well-drained soil. In a very sunny exposure and if possible outside in summer.

Moderate watering in summer and not at all in winter for the plant is a rest period without which it can not flourish.

Division of clumps is the easiest way for reproduction. It can also be done by cutting (with a minimum temperature of 21 °C) or by seeding.

Henry Courtney Selous (b. Panton Street, Haymarket, London 1803; d. Beaworthy, Devon, 24 September 1890) was an English painter, illustrator and lithographer.

Life

He was the son of Gideon "George" Slous (1777–1839), a Flemish portrait and miniature painter, and a pupil of John Martin who was an important and influential English painter of the 19th century. He was an occupant of Keats House in Hampstead, from 1835 to 1838. Selous had two brothers, Frederick Lokes Slous (the father of Frederick Courteney Selous) and Angiolo Robson Slous, a playwright who wrote True to the Core: A Story of the Armada and whose daughter Alice married the novelist Morley Roberts.

He married on 4 March 1837 Emily Elizabeth (d. 1879), daughter of the successful miniature painter Henry Pierce Boneat at St Pancras Parish Church and they had four daughters.

He died on the 24th September 1890 and was buried on the eastern side of Highgate Cemetery.

Career

In 1818 Selous entered the Royal Academy Schools and also exhibited his first work, a Portrait of a Favourite Cat (location untraced), at the Academy. He submitted animal portraits for the next three years before embarking on human portraiture. His early works were exhibited under the name Slous, but at some time between 1831 and 1838 he adopted the name Selous.

In the 1840s he began to paint historical subjects, initially inspired by the renewed interest in history painting prompted by the New Palace of Westminster cartoon competition for the designs of frescoes on the new building in 1843.  In this he submitted a picture of Boadicea Harranguing the Iceni which won a premium of £200 in 1843. He was aided by the knowledge of mural technique he had acquired by working for a panorama painter. Despite the prize, the picture was criticised by one reviewer because the "violence of the action and dashing lights carry us away like the speech of a mob orator."

He painted historical pieces for the rest of his career, for example Cassio Wounded (1874, location untraced), as well as such works as The Opening of The Great Exhibition (see works, below) recording contemporary events.

Lawrence K. Edwards (July 10, 1919 – April 4, 2009) was an American innovator in aerospace and ground transportation. Early in his career, he pioneered technologies for U.S. space and missile defense programs. He went on to invent and promote high-speed Gravity-Vacuum Transit and monobeam rail transit. He obtained a total of fourteen patents in those areas.

Early life and education
Edwards was born in Delaware, Ohio. He was the son of a physics professor and was raised in Oxford, Ohio. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Miami University where he studied geology, math and physics.

Accomplishments in aerospace
Edwards played a role in the engineering of four of the nation's major aerospace programs:
 Talos, a long-range surface-to-air missile that served as the U.S. Navy's primary anti-aircraft missile for 20 years. Talos was history's first supersonic missile with ramjet propulsion, making it far more fuel-efficient than rockets. Edwards was project engineer for the program at McDonnell Aircraft Corp., which later became McDonnell Douglas.
 Polaris, the first in a succession of submarine-based Fleet Ballistic Missiles. Edwards managed its preliminary design at Lockheed Missile Systems Division, (now Lockheed Martin) and continued as assistant director for systems engineering during the missile's early development.
Lockheed Agena, which became America's most-used space vehicle. Agena's first use was to support cameras and recoverable film of Corona, history's first spy satellite, providing intelligence for four successive Presidents. Additional uses included the first successful cameras to the moon, Venus and Mars and propelling Gemini astronauts to world-record speed and altitude. Edwards was instrumental in debugging the troubled A and B versions of Agena and then initiated the Agena D.
Space Shuttle: Edwards' aerospace achievements paved the way for his appointment as Director of Shuttle Engineering at NASA headquarters. He later became Chief of Advanced Space Transportation. In addition, he served as NASA's primary DOD technical interface for the Strategic Defense Initiative and on NASA's Inventions and Contributions Board.

Accomplishments in ground transportation

Edwards founded three firms dedicated to his innovations in ground transportation, Tube Transit Corp., Transit Innovations and Futrex Inc. His pursuits in this field include:
 Inventing and promoting gravity-vacuum transit, a technology that combines gravity and atmospheric pressure to speed trains through evacuated underground tubes at 250 to 400 mph. Advocated for the New York City region as well as a Boston to Washington line by the Regional Plan Association; the invention was praised by Secretary of Transportation John Volpe as well as editorials in The New York Times and professional and scientific journals. It was the lead article in the August 1965 edition of Scientific American.
 Inventing and promoting the Project 21 moonbeam, later System 21, the world's only aerial rail system suitable for networks above city streets. Whereas a classical monorail requires a pair of beams for two-way traffic and its switching limitations hinder its ability to run on networks, the mono-beam carries opposite trains alongside a single slender beam; its footprint is smaller, and its breakthrough switching technology enables it to form networks. System 21 was praised by two Secretaries of Transportation and Vice President Al Gore as well as the Regional Plan Association in two federally supported books. In March 1989, the Federal Register noted, "This project has high technical merit representing an innovative technology which has a strong possibility of allowing for future reductions in the nation's energy consumption."
Inventing and publicizing Project 32 Slalom, a compact three-wheel vehicle designed for students and suburban commuters. Edwards' patented suspension lets the vehicle lean into turns like a bicycle and, in very sharp turns, dramatically reduces the lateral forces experienced in four-wheel vehicles.

Honors and awards

Edwards was twice nominated by Lockheed executives for the National Medal of Technology, the highest honor for technological achievement in the United States. In 1980, NASA awarded him a team leadership award for his role in the Skylab Reentry Program. His inventions have been publicized in dozens of national newspapers, magazines and books. On three occasions, they were illustrated as "Patent of the Week" in the New York Times.

Edwards received six federal grants for his work in Gravity-Vacuum Transit and System 21. Additionally, $1.25 million in Commerce Department funds supported the construction of a functional scale model of System 21 in Charleston, South Carolina. It was unveiled in 1996.

Professional affiliations
Edwards was a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers and the Cosmos Club. He was also an associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Society of Civil Engineers, and the Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences.

Frank L Williams (26 January 1910 – 7 July 1959) was a Welsh international rugby union centre for Wales who played club rugby for Cardiff, Wakefield and Headingley. Williams was a solid defensive player, who not only tackled well but was also unafraid to cover a grounded ball and accepted the punishment meted out.

Rugby career
Williams was first selected for Wales on 2 February 1929 in a game against Scotland at St Helens. Wales won 14-7, ending a run of four consecutive home defeats by Scotland. Williams was reselected in Wales's next two games, a victory over France and a trip to Ireland for the final game of the 1929 Championship. Williams was among the majority of the Welsh players to wake up feeling ill on the morning of the Ireland game, with only tee-totalers Morley and Peacock unaffected. Ireland took an early lead in a brutal, defensive encounter. Williams managed to break through the Irish defence to score his first international try, which Dai Parker converted to give Wales a draw.

In 1929 Williams was appointed as the sports master of Wakefield Grammar School in Yorkshire, and played the rest of his club career in Yorkshire, playing club rugby for Wakefield and Headingley and county rugby for the Yorkshire XV. Williams continued to represent Wales, turning out for all four matches in the 1930 Five Nations Championship, in which Wales finished second, losing to Scotland and England and beating Ireland and France. In the same year Williams was offered a position in the 1930 British Lions tour, but turned down the invitation.

Williams was back in the Wales squad for the 1931 Championship, though he missed the first two games against England and Scotland. In the match against France he linked up with Claude Davey and Dicky Ralph to form a strong midfield triangle which overran the French. Wales scored seven tries, with Williams scoring his second try for his country. In the final match of the tournament Wales beat Ireland 15-3 and won the Five Nations Championship.

At the end of the 1930/31 season, Williams was chosen to tour south Wales with the Barbarians. It was a very successful set of matches for the invitational Baa-Baas, winning all their matches in south Wales for the first time. At the end of 1931, the touring South Africans arrived in Britain and Williams faced them twice. Williams was on the losing side twice, firstly for Wales in December, and then as part of a joint Yorkshire/Cumberland team in January the next year.

John A. Scott (25 September 1875 – 7 September 1931) was an English professional footballer. He spent eleven years at Blackpool in the late 1890s and early 1900s, making over 300 Football League appearances for the club. He played as a defender. He also played for Albion Rovers and Sunderland.

Playing career
Scott signed for Blackpool prior to their second season in the Football League, 1898–99, making his debut in the opening game of the season, a 4–1 defeat at Glossop North End on 3 September. He was ever-present in each of Blackpool's 34 games, and scored four goals in the process.

Blackpool were not re-elected to the League after their sixteenth-placed finish in 1898–99, but when they returned to the competition in 1900–01, Scott made nineteen appearances.

In 1901–02, Scott was again ever-present. He scored one goal in his 34 appearances – the only goal of the game against Burslem Port Vale on 5 April.

Scott continued to be a mainstay of the team during 1902–03, missing just two games. He found the net on two occasions, both from the penalty spot.

He missed one game of the 1903–04 season, and scored three goals.

Scott achieved the same number of appearances in 1904–05, scoring two goals. He also made his first appearance for the club in the FA Cup.
