George Furness (31 October 1820 – 9 January 1900) was an English Victorian construction engineer and benefactor. He described himself as a "contractor of public works". He worked all around the world, on railways, drainage, and brickwork among numerous other things.

Birth
Furness was born in Great Longstone, Derbyshire. The old Croft House was part of the Furness' property there.

Career
George Furness did a wide variety of jobs and contracts throughout his life, both overseas and local.

Railway
In the early 19th century, the railway was born in Britain. Furness took advantage of this new type of business; from 1842 onwards, he worked on the construction of major railways in the Midlands, Western and Southern counties of England.
Among those he contributed to were:
Abingdon Railway, opened in 1856
Redditch Railway, opened in 1859
West Somerset Railway, open in 1862
Isle of Grain to  (Kent), opened in 1882

Some of these still exist.

Overseas work
When Britain was at the forefront of construction and engineering, specialists where in great demand overseas for their skills. Furness, being one of these skilled workers, was involved in overseas construction works in Brazil and France.

His other specialty was public works. He worked on extensive dredging contracts in Italy (Spezia, Ancona, Livorno and Palermo) for the next 30 years of his life. King Victor Emmanuel III made him a Knight of the Order of the Crown of Italy.

His main work, though, was in Odessa, Russia. After the Crimean War, specialists were needed to renew public works. There, he worked on drainage, paving, and general restorations, along with numerous other works. The overall cost for these labours totalled £750,000.

Drainage
Halfway through the 19th century, the rapid growth of population and the poor state of public works in London caused high pollution of the River Thames. In 1856, the Metropolitan Board of Works was formed and was put in charge of constructing London's first sewage system.

Furness bid for the major section of the Thames Embankment (from Westminster to Waterloo Bridge) and won the contract for £520,000. The work began in 1864. Despite slow progress created by friction with his partner, problems with materials, and also financial difficulties, his large section of the embankment was complete by 1870.

His other, and somewhat smaller, contract was the Northern Lower Level Sewer Isle of Dogs Branch, in 1865, valued at £75,456.

Brickwork

In the 1870s, a sudden explosion of the construction of houses in Willesden and surrounding areas motivated Furness to form the Willesden Brick and Tile Company, situated on Chambers Lane.

Soon after, an approximately -high square chimney puffed steam and smoke, from many kilns, over the surrounding area. The machinery was powered by a steam engine. It manufactured high-quality, and therefore expensive, durable red bricks. It also made cheaper brown stock bricks. Furness bought large plots of land in the area for his works. These were developed, from pasture land, into residential premises, providing houses, roads and drainage to the whole community.

Many houses, made from these bricks, still house the current Willesden's residents. These include some houses on Ashford Road, Cedar Road, Cricklewood Broadway, Harlesden Road, Ivy Road, Larch Road, Longstone Terrace, Mora Road, Pine Road, and Taylors Lane

Furness' bricks were used to erect St. Andrew Church. Schools in Willesden, a number of other churches, along with a school in the surrounding areas also benefited from his brickfactory. The Brick and Tile Company also produced vases, flower pots, drain pipes, glazed bricks, and roof tiles.

Furness became one of Willesden's major employers. Many company houses were provided to rent out to employees; those on Parkfield Road are an example.

Family
Furness married Sarah Rebecca (1835 – 1902) in his early forties and they moved into the Roundwood House in 1856, an Elizabethan-style mansion, which was originally built around 1836 for Lord Decies.

His children were, in order of birth:
George John Furness (1865, aged 2 days)
Mary Woodwis Furness (1866 – 1902, aged 36 years)
George James Furness (1868 – 1935, aged 67 years), who was member of parliament for the constituency of Willesden West on behalf of the Conservative party from 1922-1923.
Matthew Thomas Bladen Furness (1870 – 1902, aged 32 years)
John Furness (1871, aged 1 month)
Sarah Furness (1872, aged 17 days)
Agnes Sophia Furness (1876 – 1899, aged 23 years)

Three of their children did not manage to survive infancy.

After Furness completed his overseas work, he remained in England to do the remainder of his labours. Living in Willesden, he was able to spend more time with his family. His eldest son, George James Furness, attended the Crystal Palace School of Engineering as a teenager, graduated to become an engineer, and worked with his father.

Roundwood House remained part of their property from till 1936. The old Croft House in Great Longstone, Derbyshire (Furness' hometown), continued to remain among their property.

Public figure
Despite having many overseas contracts, Furness still managed to have some time for the local community and its affairs.

Boards and Councils
When Willesden Local Board was formed in 1875 (before this, the district had been administered by the local Vestry meeting), Furness was elected to represent West Willesden and hence became the first chairman. Later on, he represented South Kilburn and East Willesden.

Furness was elected as one of the first representatives to the Middlesex County Council in 1889. He also sat on the Hendon Board of Guardians for many years, and was one of the original members of the School Board.

Churches
For three years, he was the people's churchwarden at St. Mary Church, where he was putting his practical knowledge to good uses.

Hospitals

Concerning hospitals, he financially supported the Willesden Cottage Hospital. He was also a governor at St. Mary Hospital.

Parks

In 1892, Furness sold the  of Knowles Hill, also known as Hunger Hill Common Field, to the Local Board for a bargain price of £14,500. At this time, it was only a small hillock and some elm and oak trees. This eventually became, after much work by Oliver Claude Robson (Surveyor for the Willesden Local Board and later Willesden Urban District Council), the Roundwood Park today, situated in Willesden.

Death

Final years

Furness' youngest daughter, Agnes Sophia, was murdered by her husband in India in 1899. She was buried in Bandora Churchyard, in Bombei, India. Since that time, Furness' health began to decline, as he suffered from bronchitis and influenza.

On 9 January 1900, George Furness, aged 79, died at Roundwood House, Willesden. He is interred in the churchyard of St. Mary Church, Willesden.

His obituary stated: "In public affairs his tenacity of purpose, liberal views, and ready regard for divergent opinions were as noticeable in his private and professional life."

Aftermath
In May 1902, Sarah Rebecca, Mary Woodwis, and Matthew Thomas Bladen were all drowned in a boating accident on the Lakes of Killarney, in Ireland. Only the body of Sarah Rebecca was recovered, and her corpse was brought back to Willesden and buried next to her husband.

George James, Furness' eldest son and only surviving heir, carried on the tradition of his father in Willesden. He sat on the Middlesex County Council and was a JP, MP for West Willesden from 1922 to 1923 and High Sheriff of Middlesex. After his death in 1936, his family decided to move out of Willesden. He was buried in St Mary's Church, across the path from his father and mother.

Roundwood House was sold to Willesden District Council on that same year. It no longer stands today because it was destroyed. The brickwork factory was also sold and demolished.

Grave
On George Furness' family grave in St Mary Church are the names of all the George Furness family (except George James Furness). The words for George Furness are as follows:

Legacy

For his contribution to the local community, a road was named after him. It remains to this day; Furness Road. There is also a school named Furness Primary School on that road.

Other roads in the immediate vicinity of Furness Road are also named after his key areas of activity: Ancona Road; Spezia Road; Palermo Road and Odessa Road; all adjacent to Furness Road.

Additionally, a block of flats is called George Furness House. They stand on Grange Road.

The Bekhterev–Jacobsohn reflex, or Jacobsohn's finger flexion sign, is a clinical sign found in patients with pyramidal tract lesions of the upper limb. In this condition, stroking the dorsum of the forearm, in the area of the distal radius, with the arm supine causes abduction of the hand and flexion of the fingers.

It is analogous to the Bekhterev–Mendel reflex in the lower limb.

The reflex is named after Vladimir Bekhterev and Louis Jacobsohn-Lask.

Martin Perry Knowlton (July 30, 1920 – March 12, 2009) was the American co-founder of Elderhostel, a non-profit organization established in 1975 that allows senior citizens to travel and take educational programs in the United States and around the world.

Early life and education
Knowlton was born in Dallas, Texas on July 30, 1920. In 1940, he left college to join the Free French Forces, where he served in southwest Asia as an ambulance driver and was awarded the Croix de Guerre. He joined the United States Army in 1942 and served as a medic in the Pacific Theater and was awarded the Silver Star.

Following the completion of his military service, Knowlton attended Birmingham-Southern College, where he was awarded a degree in history in 1946. He earned a master's degree in 1949 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he majored in political science, and later served on the school's faculty. He worked at a number of firms in Maine after graduation and returned to Yale University and Boston University for further graduate education. He was a teacher at high schools, including at Brookline High School, where he coached the school's chess team to the 1970 national championship.

Elderhostel
Knowlton ran the American Youth Hostels program at the University of New Hampshire, where he envisioned a program that would combine the features of youth hostels with the adult folk school programs he had seen while backpacking through Europe.  David Bianco, who supervised the dormitory and dining programs at UNH and had hired Knowlton to run the hostel based on their connections at Boston University, brainstormed about the concept. "Elder hostel" came out as a name,  after Bianco saw self-described hippie Knowlton with his white beard sitting under a sign saying "youth hostel".

The two devised a program in which people above age 55 could take summer courses while staying in dormitories for a low price. Knowlton described the program's purpose as erasing "the disturbing concept that people are all used up after age 65", offering a program "aimed at stimulating the elderly out of this agism trap", solving two different problems by matching them with each other; the inefficient use of capital resources at colleges over the summer and the difficulties of those growing old in a society focused on youth. The program started in 1975 with 220 students ages 60 and up on five campuses in New Hampshire, with the support of Eugene S. Mills, president of the University of New Hampshire and a grant of $7,500 from the Spaulding Potter Charitable Trust. Within five years it had grown to 20,000 students. The program was expanded internationally, to Mexico, Great Britain and Scandinavia, in 1981. By the time of his death, Elderhostel offered 8,000 programs across the United States and in 90 countries.

With Elderhostel's growth and its incorporation as a non-profit in 1977, Knowlton left the organization citing his tendency to cut "administrative corners much too freely" and to resist "beyond all reason, needed administrative developments". Bianco described Knowlton as having "the administrative skills of a gnat".

After Elderhostel
After leaving Elderhostel, Knowlton moved to California. There, he established Gatekeepers to the Future, an organization that was intended to motivate seniors to lobby for environmental change. It was restructured and renamed the Center for the Study of the Future in the early 1990s.

Personal life
Knowlton died at age 88 on March 12, 2009 at a nursing home in Ventura, California due to natural causes. He was survived by two daughters and a grandchild; both of his marriages had ended in divorce.

Sustainable flooring is produced from sustainable materials (and by a sustainable process) that reduces demands on ecosystems during its life-cycle. This includes harvest, production, use and disposal. It is thought that sustainable flooring creates safer and healthier buildings and guarantees a future for traditional producers of renewable resources that many communities depend on. Several initiatives have led the charge to bring awareness of sustainable flooring as well as healthy buildings (air quality). Below are examples of available, though sometimes less well-known, eco-friendly flooring options. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America recommends those with allergies to dust or other particulates choose flooring with smooth surfaces – such as hardwood, vinyl, linoleum tile or slate.

In the U.S., the Building for Energy and Environmental Sustainability (BEES) program of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)  provides a one-stop source of life cycle assessment-based information about flooring options. Life cycle comparisons of flooring alternatives by research groups around the world consistently show bio-based flooring products to have lower environmental impacts than other types of flooring. The life cycle environmental impacts associated with producing and using flooring alternatives such as cork, linoleum, and solid wood are clearly lower than other alternatives. Wool carpeting and composite marble exhibit the greatest impacts, and impacts linked to typical carpeting used in residential structures are higher than those shown in the BEES system due to the use of a pad under the carpet layer.

Wood
The development of life cycle assessment  methodology in the early 1990s has shown the environmental advantages of wood and wood-based products.

Wood is a unique and renewable material. Trees absorb carbon during their growing cycle, and this carbon remains stored in products like wood flooring during its service life, thus keeping it out of the atmosphere. At the end of its service life, wood can be reused (in which case the carbon continues to be stored in the wood) or used for fuel.

A life cycle assessment of flooring materials made of solid wood, linoleum and vinyl found the wood flooring had lower energy use and carbon dioxide emissions. It also performed better in environmental impact categories such as resource use, environmental toxin emissions, air pollution emissions and waste generation.

Reclaimed Wood Flooring

When reclaimed wood is used for wood flooring, it is taken for reuse from many different sources, including old warehouses, boxcars, coal mines, gymnasiums, homes, wine barrels, historic barns, and more. Wood can also be recovered from rivers in the form of fallen trees along with logs that were once sent downstream by lumber mills.

Using reclaimed wood can earn credits towards achieving LEED project certification. Because reclaimed wood is considered recycled content, it meets the Materials & Resources criteria for LEED certification and because some reclaimed lumber products are FSC certified, they can qualify for LEED credits under the "certified wood" category Besides qualifying for LEED points, reclaimed wood is drawing an increasing number of home and business owners, architects, and contractors to choosing reclaimed wood flooring for a few significant reasons:

·      Environmental responsibility and sustainability

·      Old growth wood is present in reclaimed examples in a time when it is increasingly difficult to source newly cut old growth lumber due to environmental protections and diminished availability

·      Old growth, tight growth rings found in many historic structures adds durability and aesthetic value to flooring

·      Client demand for green building materials has greatly increased since 2015

·      Developing countries are showing significant increases in green building certification

Bamboo flooring

Bamboo flooring is made from a fast-growing renewable "timber" (bamboo is actually a grass). It is natural anti-bacterial, water-resistant and extremely durable. DIY installation is easy, as bamboo flooring is available with tongue-and-groove technology familiar in hardwood/laminate alternatives. Bamboo flooring is often more expensive than laminate, though it is generally cheaper than traditional hardwood flooring. Some bamboo floors are less sustainable than others, as they contain the toxic substance formaldehyde (rather than natural-base adhesives).

Cork Flooring
Cork flooring is made by removing the bark of the Cork Oak (Quercus Suber) without harming the tree (if harvested correctly); as such, it is a renewable and sustainable resource. It is naturally anti-microbial and has excellent insulation properties, ensuring minimal heat loss and comfortable warm walking surface. Cork is resilient and 'springs back' preventing imprints due to heavy traffic and furniture, it also provides excellent noise insulation. While cork itself is low in volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions, it is important to check the finish applied. Cork is not suitable for bathrooms, as it absorbs moisture.

Linoleum

Linoleum is made from dried and milled flax seeds mixed with other plant material (pine resins, wood flour, ground cork) with a jute backing, all completely natural materials which come from renewable sources and are 100% biodegradable. All by products and waste is milled and used.  Linoleum does not fade, as the pigments are embedded in the structure. It is anti-static, repelling dirt, dust and other small particles, making it hypoallergenic – for this reason it is often used by people with respiratory issues (asthma, allergies).  It is also fire-resistant and does not require additional fire-retardants finish.

Rubber Flooring

Rubber flooring used to be made from a rubber tree, a 100% renewable resource. Today styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), a general-purpose synthetic rubber, produced from a copolymer of styrene and butadiene is used for "rubber flooring" It is easy to install and maintain, is anti-static and provides effective sound insulation and vibration reduction.
Rubber flooring is also resistant to fading and cigarette burns. Most rubber flooring is made from synthetic rubber, which is not a sustainable product.

Natural and Recycled Carpet

There are carpets that are sustainable, using natural fibers such as cotton, sisal, wool, jute and coconut husk. Handmade Citapore rugs include a wide range of sustainable flooring material as these rugs are generally made from cotton (both virgin and recycled), jute, rayon and cotton chennile. It is also possible to have carpet made completely from recycled polyethylene terephthalate used for food/drink containers. Recycled nylon is also a common material used and the process takes carpet made with nylon 6 fibers and recycles it into brand new nylon carpet. This process can be repeated numerous times and in 2009 alone, Shaw's Evergreen facility recycled over 100 million pounds of carpet. This is sustainable and it reduces material sent to landfill; further it uses dyeing methods that are less polluting and require less energy than other flooring. This flooring is sustainable when used alongside eco-friendly adhesive, as some products may have toxic finishes added (stain/fireproofing) that are not considered sustainable.

Coconut timber flooring
Coconut timber is a hardwood substitute from coconut palm trees. Coconut palm wood flooring is cheaper than teak, with the wood hardness comparable to mahogany. Coconut palm wood is made from matured (60 to 80 years old) coconut palm trees that no longer bear fruits.

Reclaimed Flooring Parquet
This Parquet Flooring in Herringbone, Double Herringbone, as well as Chevron style can be reclaimed from buildings typically undergoing demolition or renovation. Typically the flooring has been in its original home for over 100 years. Occasionally very rare woods, including old growth Teak, Mahoganies, or Oaks are used, sometimes more exotic timbers such as Panga, Wenge, Bubinga and others are utilized.
Some of these woods [Rhodesian Teak] are simply not in production any more, due to forestry or importation limits.
Process of reclamation includes salvage, transport, cleaning of old bitumen residue, Re-fitting and re-sanding with finishing by lacquering or oiling.

Jesus College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England.  The college was founded in 1571 by Queen Elizabeth I at the request of Hugh Price, a Welsh clergyman, who was Treasurer of St David's Cathedral in Pembrokeshire. The college still has strong links with Wales, and about 15% of students are Welsh. There are 340 undergraduates and 190 students carrying out postgraduate studies. Women have been admitted since 1974, when the college was one of the first five men's colleges to become co-educational. Old members of Jesus College are sometimes known as "Jesubites".

Mathematicians who have studied at Jesus College include Nigel Hitchin (Savilian Professor of Geometry at Oxford 1997–2016), Jonathan Borwein (a former Rhodes Scholar who has held professorial appointments in Canada and Australia), and Jim Mauldon (who taught at Oxford before moving to the United States to teach at Amherst College in Massachusetts). David E. Evans is Professor of Mathematics at Cardiff University, and H. W. Lloyd Tanner was Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at one of its predecessor institutions, the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire.  Several noted individuals from biology, botany and zoology were educated at the college, including the Welsh clergyman Hugh Davies (whose Welsh Botanology of 1813 was the first publication to cross-reference the Welsh-language and the scientific names of plants), Edward Bagnall Poulton (Professor of Zoology at Oxford) and James Brontë Gatenby (Professor of Zoology at Trinity College, Dublin).  Frank Greenaway was Keeper of the Department of Chemistry at the Science Museum in London for over 20 years, and the physicist Chris Rapley was director of the museum 2007–2010.  Other physicists who are Old Members of the college include Michael Woolfson (a former Professor of Physics at the University of York) and Edward Hinds (whose work on ultra-cold matter won him the Rumford Medal of the Royal Society in 2008).  Edwin Stevens, who studied Natural Science at the college, designed the world's first wearable hearing aid, and Sir Graham Sutton became director-general of the Meteorological Office ('Met Office').

The college had its own science laboratories from 1907 to 1947, which were overseen (for all but the last three years) by the physical chemist David Chapman, a Fellow of the college from 1907 to 1944.  At the time of their closure, they were the last college-based science laboratories at the university. They were named the Sir Leoline Jenkins laboratories, after a former principal of the college.  Scientific research and tuition (particularly in chemistry) became an important part of the college's academic life after the construction of the laboratories. The brochure produced for the opening ceremony noted that the number of science students at the college had increased rapidly in recent years, and that provision of college laboratories would assist the tuition of undergraduates, as well as attracting to Jesus College those graduates of the University of Wales who wished to continue their research at Oxford.  One of the college science lecturers had a link with Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI); 17 students joined ICI between the two World Wars, some of whom (such as John Rose) reached senior levels in the company.  The laboratories became unnecessary when the university began to provide centralised facilities for students, and they were closed in 1947.

Until the early 19th century, undergraduates read for a Bachelor of Arts degree that included study of Latin and Greek texts, mathematics, geometry, philosophy and theology.  Individual subjects at undergraduate level were only introduced later: for example, Mathematics (1805), Natural Science (1850), Jurisprudence (1851, although it had been available before this to students who obtained special permission), Modern History (1851) and Theology (1871). Geography and Modern Languages were introduced in the 20th century. Music had been taught as a specialist subject, rather than being part of the BA course, before these changes; medicine was studied as a post-graduate subject.

Frank Louis Meinke (October 18, 1863 – November 8, 1931), was an American professional baseball pitcher from 1883 to 1887.  He played two seasons in Major League Baseball for the Detroit Wolverines from 1884 to 1885.  In 36 major league games, he compiled an 8-24 record with 124 strikeouts and a 3.18 earned run average (ERA).

Early years
Meinke was born in 1863 in Chicago. His parents Herman and Louise Meinke, were both immigrants from Germany.

Professional baseball player
Meinke began his professional baseball career in 1883 with the Grand Rapids, Michigan club in the Northwestern League.

On May 1, 1884, opening day of the 1884 season, Meinke made his Major League Baseball debut with the Detroit Wolverines of the National League.  The Wolverines lost the season opener to Philadelphia by a 13-2 score, began the season with an 11-game losing streak, and finished in eighth place with a 28-84 record. Meinke was the Wolverines' lead pitcher during the 1884 season, appearing in 35 games and pitching 289 innings, including 31 complete games.  He compiled a respectable 3.18 earned run average (ERA) but, with little support from his teammates, finished the season with an 8-23 record.  Meinke also led the National League's pitchers with a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage.

In addition to pitching, Meinke also served in a utility role and appeared in a total of 92 games during the 1884 season, including 51 games at shortstop, four in the outfield, three at second base, and three at third base.  He compiled a .165 batting average in 341 at bats and struck out 89 times, the second highest total in the National League behind Sam Wise.

Meinke returned to the Wolverines in 1885 but appeared in only two games, one as a pitcher and one as an outfielder.  Meinke allowed two earned runs in five innings and was the losing pitcher in his only game on the mound.  His major league career ended on May 22, 1885.

Meinke continued to play professional baseball in the minor leagues through the 1887 season, including stints with Chattanooga Lookouts of the Southern League (1885), Denver Mountain Lions of the Western League (1886), and LaCrosse Freezers of the Northwestern League (1888).

Later years
Meinke died in November 1931 at age 68.  He was buried at Montrose Cemetery.

He also played for the Columbus Stars of the Southern League in 1885 before joining the Major Leagues with the Cincinnati Red Stockings of the American Association later that year.  He made his Major League debut for the Red Stockings on August 4, 1885.  With the Red Stockings in 1885, Pechiney pitched in 11 games, starting and completing all of them, with a win–loss record of 7–4, a 2.02 earned run average and 49 strikeouts in 98 innings pitched.  His winning percentage of .636 ranked 4th in the American Association behind just Bob Caruthers, Dave Foutz and Bobby Mathews.

In 1886, Pechiney pitched for the Red Stockings once again.  He started 40 games, completing 35.  In 300 1/3 innings pitched he posted a win–loss record of 15–21, a 4.14 earned run average and 110 strikeouts.  His 2 shutouts ranked in the top 10 among American Association pitchers, as did his 21 losses, 133 walks, 152 earned runs surrenders and 14 hit batsmen.  Pechiney also played in 4 games in the outfield for Cincinnati in 1886, including a game on September 12 which he started but moved to center field after three innings because he was pitching wildly.  On April 27, 1886, Pechiney pitched a complete game despite giving up 20 runs in a 20–3 loss to the St. Louis Browns.

In 1887, Pechiney moved to the newly formed Cleveland Blues of the American Association.  On April 16, 1887, he was the Blues' Opening Day starting pitcher for the first season in the team's history, pitching against his former Cincinnati team.  The Blues lost the game by a score of 16–6.  For the season, Pechiney started 10 games for the Blues, completing all of them.  He had a win–loss record of 1–9, with a 7.12 earned run average and 24 strikeouts in 86 innings.  He pitched his final game for the Blues, and in the Major Leagues on June 24, 1887.  In 1888 he pitched in the minor leagues once again for the Canton Nadjys of the Tri-State League.

On June 12, 1925, Pechiney appeared at the Golden Jubilee celebration of Redland Field, along with other former Reds and Red Stockings players.  Pechiney died at the age of 81 in Cincinnati and is buried at Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati.

Sphaerothecum destruens (the rosette agent) is a parasite of fish. It was first discovered in the United States in association with invasive species including topmouth gudgeon, but was found to be the causative agent of a disease in the UK affecting salmonid species such as Atlantic salmon and brown trout. It is thought to pose more of a risk in Europe than in the US, as native species there are more susceptible to the parasite. The disease causes high rates of morbidity and mortality in a number of different salmonid species and can also infect other UK freshwater fish such as bream, carp, and roach. The genus Sphaerothecum is closely related to the genera Dermocystidium and Rhinosporidium.

Rancho Los Coyotes was a   1834 Mexican land grant resulting from the partition of the Rancho Los Nietos grant, in present-day southeastern Los Angeles County and northwestern Orange County, California.  The rancho lands include the present-day cities of Cerritos, La Mirada, Stanton, and Buena Park.

History
At the request of Manuel Nieto's heirs, Governor José Figueroa in 1834 officially declared the  Rancho Los Nietos grant under Mexican rule and ordered its partition into five smaller ranchos: Las Bolsas, Los Alamitos, Los Cerritos, Los Coyotes, and Santa Gertrudes. Juan José Nieto (eldest son of Manuel Nieto) received Los Coyotes. In 1840, Juan José Nieto sold Rancho Los Coyotes to Juan Bautista Leandry, an Italian immigrant who settled in California in 1827 and was married to Maria Francisca Uribe, who renamed it "La Buena Esperanza," – The Good Hope – but it was still generally known as Los Coyotes.

Leandry died in 1842, and his widow, Maria Francisca Uribe, married Francisco O'Campo.

With the cession of California to the United States following the Mexican–American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored. As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for Rancho Los Coyotes was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852, and the grant was patented to Andrés Pico and Francisca Uribe de O'Campo in 1875.

Historic sites of the Rancho
Bacon House (circa 1884). Originally built by an unknown squatter in a remote area of  Rancho Los Coyotes and eventually ended up as a residence for Robert D. Bacon, a turn-of-the-century Buena Park farmer.

Sunrise in Baku was an international fashion project held on 28 February 2009 in London, England. The project was part of a series of philanthropic events organised by KPK Entertainment Group in the United Kingdom and aimed to raise funds and awareness for the UK-based charity organisation ABC Trust Foundation - Action for Children of Brazil. The initiative, whose proceedings contributed towards the establishment of a primary school in Brazil, was supported by Azerbaijan Embassy, Brazil Embassy and the High Commission of Cyprus in London.

The fashion project involved young rising designers from a number of countries, including Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Russia, Italy and the United Arab Emirates. The Azerbaijani collection reflecting the national flag of Azerbaijan (see photo) under Azeri national music was inspired by the name of the fashion project. The collection, presented by Ramina Mavadin Huseynova, formed the culmination of the catwalk show during the night.

Cyprus High Commission's Cultural Counsellor  Dr. Niki Katsaouni mentioned on her speech: 'This is a great evening organised by two young ladies, Kamila Mavadin Huseynova from Azerbaijan and Katerina Gavrielidou from Cyprus, founders of KPK Entertainment Group, a nonprofit organization that has already a background of philanthropic contribution in Britain. I would like to express my support to initiatives like this which enhance the cultural cooperation between young people from different countries. It is remarkable how two small countries like Azerbaijan and Cyprus worked together towards the common good, tonight dedicated to the children of Brazil'.

The project attracted the interest of international media such as Fashion TV (Europe, USA and the Middle East), BBC Azeri, London Greek Radio, MTV, Hellenic TV, and Sigma Live.

ABC Trust Foundation was chosen by KPK Entertainment Group as the sole beneficiary charity foundation for Sunrise in Baku Fashion Project. Action for Brazil’s Children Foundation is dedicated to helping the most vulnerable children and young people of Brazil. By raising awareness and funding, ABC Trust supports the work of local, community-led organisations who give children the education, support and inspiration they need to transform their lives. ABC Trust is a UK-based organisation set up by Jimena Page, as Founding Trustee, and Led Zeppelin legend Jimmy Page, as Founding Patron. They have since been joined by a board of trustees and a group of Patrons who lend a hand whenever possible.

KPK Entertainment Group is an international non-profit organisation founded under the leadership of Kamila Mavadin Huseynova in November 2007. KPK Entertainment holds annual summits that bring together young talented individuals to work on new projects and develop new ideas for the support of different charity foundations across the globe. The events of KPK Entertainment Group are the platform for young designers, singers, and artists to demonstrate their talents. Among them are fashion designers Yuliya Polishchuk, Mona Hamid, singers Marios Tofi, Heidi Anne Burford, artists Karim Theilgaard, Krish Nightstar, model Claudia Camarena and many others.

Dermocystidium is a genus of cyst-forming, eukaryotic fish parasites, the causative agents of dermocystidiosis.

Taxonomic history
The genus Dermocystidium was described in 1907. It was previously thought to be a genus of fungal parasites, related to the Thraustochytrida and Labyrinthulida (both those groups are now considered to be stramenopiles rather than fungi). Other biologists considered it to be a sporozoan protist.

It was subsequently identified as one of a group of fish parasites (the "DRIP clade") of previously uncertain affiliation, which were later identified as nonanimal, nonfungal opisthokonts, and renamed as Ichthyosporea, and after expansion as Mesomycetozoa. Parasites of crustacea (Dermocystidium daphniae) and molluscs (Dermocystidium marinum) placed in this genus have been found to be likely a bacterium and an alveolate, respectively:  Sayre, Gherna and Wergin (1983) concluded that Dermocystidium daphniae was likely identical to Pasteuria ramosa Metchnikoff, 1888, while D. marinum has been reclassified as Perkinsus marinus.

The frog parasite Dermocystidium ranae has recently been segregated as Amphibiocystidium ranae.

Madame Clicquot (), née Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin (), Widow Clicquot or Veuve Clicquot  (16 December 1777 – 29 July 1866), known as the "Grande Dame of Champagne", was a French Champagne producer. She took on her husband's wine business when widowed at 27. Under her ownership, and her skill with wine, the company developed early champagne using a novel technique. The brand and company of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin still bears her name.

Biography
Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, born 16 December 1777 in Reims, was the daughter of a wealthy father, Ponce Jean Nicolas Philippe Ponsardin (from 1813, Baron Ponsardin), a textile manufacturer and politician. Her mother was Jeanne Josephe Marie-Clémentine Letertre-Huart.

She married François Clicquot at the age of 21. Her husband died six years later leaving her a widow at 27 with a six year old daughter Clémentine. Her husband's death may have been suicide, but it was attributed to typhoid. Madame was wealthy by virtue of her very well connected family. Napoleon and Josephine had both stayed at her family's home (L'Hotel Ponsardin was the name of their household, not literally a hotel). Her father was made mayor of Reims by Napoleon's decree.

Her husband François died in 1805, leaving his widow (veuve in French) in control of a company variously involved in banking, wool trading, and champagne production. Under Madame Clicquot's control, the house focused entirely on champagne, and thrived using funds supplied by her father-in-law. Under her management and her skill with wine, the company developed early champagne using a novel technique called riddling. Prior to this invention the second fermentation of wine to create champagne resulted in a very sweet wine with large bubbles and sediment from the remains of the yeast used in the fermentation in the bottle (which creates the bubbles in the wine) resulting in a cloudy wine.

She still used the original English technique of adding sugar, but after this second fermentation was complete the bottles were held upside down. The bottles were regularly turned so that the dead yeast would all gather near the cork (riddling). Once the settling was complete, the wine near the cork was removed, followed by an addition of wine to refill the bottle.

Legacy
Clicquot died 29 July 1866, in Boursault.
She had built the Neo-Renaissance style Château de Boursault in honor of the marriage of her granddaughter Marie Clémentine de Chevigné to Louis de Mortemart-Rochechouart in 1839. Anne de Rochechouart de Mortemart inherited the chateau on Madame Clicquot's death in 1866.
Anne was the daughter of Marie Clémentine and Louis.

In 2019, Lisette Glodowski and Richard C. Walter wrote a musical about Madame Clicquot’s life, titled “Madame Clicquot: A Revolutionary Musical”. The cast recording of the musical was released in 2023.

Jean I de Croÿ, Seigneur of Croÿ et d'Araines, Baron of Renty and of Seneghem (around 1365 – 25 October 1415), was the founder of the House of Croÿ.

Biography
Jean's parents were Guillaume I, Seigneur of Croÿ (†1384) and Isabeau of Renty. He was responsible for the ascendancy of his family to a position of supreme power in medieval Burgundy. He served Philip the Bold and his son John the Fearless in the capacity of councillor and chamberlain.

In 1384, Jean married a wealthy heiress, Marguerite de Craon (ca 1370–1420), successfully suing her first husband's family upon her death. In 1397, Jean acquired the lordship of Chimay, which was to become a core dominion of the Croÿ family. Four years later, he was appointed Governor of Artois and led the ducal armies against the rebellious citizens of Liège. He was recorded as the Grand-Bouteiller of King Charles VI of France in 1412, when he laid siege to Bourges.

The following year, Isabeau of Bavaria had Jean apprehended and incarcerated in the castle of Montlhéry, whence he escaped. Jean, together with one of his sons, was killed at the Battle of Agincourt on 25 October 1415.

He had seventeen children, including:
Antoine I de Croÿ, Count of Porcéan (1385–1475)
Archambaud de Croÿ (1386–1412)
Jean de Croÿ (1387 – 1415 at Battle of Agincourt)
Jean II de Croÿ (1395–1473), Prince of Chimay, progenitor of the House of Croÿ-Solre.
Agnès de Croÿ (1386?), mistress of John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy, by whom she had a natural son, John of Burgundy (Jean de Bourgogne), the future Bishop of Cambrai.
Jeanne de Croÿ (1390–?), married Jean de Lannoy (c. 1370–1415), also killed at Agincourt, mother of Jan van Lannoy, Stadtholder of Holland.

Khlong Chorakhe Sam Phan (, ), also called Maenam Chorakhe Sam Phan or Lam Chorakhe Sam Phan,  is a watercourse in the provinces of Kanchanaburi and Suphan Buri, Thailand. It is a tributary of the Tha Chin River.

Its name translates roughly as "three thousand crocodiles" presumably it is because in the past the abundance of crocodiles [or may mean three species of crocodiles] . This river is considered to be of historical and archaeological importance. Because in the watershed area at U Thong District, Suphan Buri used to be an ancient community before. There is an excavation to discover an antique carved jade that has a crocodile [or makara]-like shape.   Moreover, U Thong in the past, was called Chorakhe Sam Phan.

Khlong Chorakhe Sam Phan separates itself from the Thuan River in Kanchanaburi, then flows from Phanom Thuan District through U Thong District converge with Tha Wa River at Ban Phai Ngoi. After that, flows through Bang Li Market at Song Phi Nong District, Suphanburi to mouth of Khlong Song Phi Nong and finally converge with the Tha Chin River.

Catholic Cathedral College is an integrated Catholic co-educational secondary school in Christchurch, New Zealand. It was founded in 1987 but its origins go back to more than a 119 years earlier. The college is an amalgamation of two schools: Sacred Heart College for girls (founded 1868), and Xavier College for boys (founded 1946).

History

Sacred Heart was opened by the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions in 1881, although the Sisters had schools on the site from 1868.  Xavier College was founded in 1946 and was operated by the Marist Brothers who had schools on the site from 1888. The college is located in central Christchurch, adjacent to the now-demolished Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament on the former sites of its predecessor colleges, which adjoined each other. The convent building was occupied by the Christchurch Music Centre until it was demolished following the 2011 Christchurch earthquake.

The college does not have an enrolment scheme and can therefore accept pupils from all parts of Christchurch. The maximum roll is set at 880 students by agreement between the school's proprietor, the Catholic Bishop of Christchurch and the Government of New Zealand under the Private Schools Conditional Integration Act 1975. A standard provision of that Act is that 5% of students may be "non-preference" (i.e. non-Catholic). The College is also the only one of the five Catholic secondary schools situated in Christchurch, to be co-educational.

2010–2011 Canterbury earthquakes

Because of the 2010 Canterbury earthquake (7.1 magnitude) which devastated much of the city, the college accommodated the entire primary school community of St Paul's School, Dallington for several months. But the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake (6.3 magnitude) caused far worse devastation to the city than the September 2010 earthquake. Parts of the college were under the unstable 400-ton dome of the Catholic Cathedral. Because the dome was in imminent danger of collapse, the college left the site and operated in the afternoons at St Thomas of Canterbury College. St Paul's School moved to a site which the Minister of Education made available. The dome was removed on 26 July and the school moved back to its own site on 1 August 2011. However three buildings remained off limits. Because of the effects of the earthquakes, Marian College was relocated to Catholic Cathedral College (which had enough surplus capacity to accommodate both schools in ordinary time) at the beginning of the 2012 school year until 2023.

Organisations
Catholic Cathedral College Young Vinnies is a youth organisation part of Catholic Cathedral College, involving Year 7–13 students. In 2012 they donated 2012 cans of food for St Vincent de Paul Society. The motto that the group lives by is "Social Justice learning, Social Justice living".

Khlong Muak Lek (, ) or Huai Muak Lek (, ) is a watercourse of Thailand. It is a tributary of the Pa Sak River, part of the Chao Phraya River basin.

Despite its name (khlong usually meaning 'canal'), Khlong Muak Lek is a natural river. It originates from Khao Inthani in the Dong Phaya Yen Mountains, in the area of Khao Yai National Park, and flows northwards, forming the boundary between Muak Lek District of Saraburi Province  and Pak Chong District of Nakhon Ratchasima, before entering Muak Lek, turning west, and ultimately joining the Pa Sak in Kham Phran Subdistrict of Wang Muang District, just downstream from Pa Sak Jolasid Dam. Its total length is .

The river has several rapids and small waterfalls, which serve as tourist attractions, most significantly the Chet Sao Noi Waterfalls in Namtok Chet Sao Noi National Park, which covers forested hills flanking the river. A dam, built from 2012 to 2020, forms the Muak Lek Reservoir, which irrigates the Wang Muang District area.

Global Census of Marine Life on Seamounts (commonly CenSeam) is a global scientific initiative, launched in 2005, that is designed to expand the knowledge base of marine life at seamounts. Seamounts are underwater mountains, not necessarily volcanic in origin, which often form subsurface archipelagoes and are found throughout the world's ocean basins, with almost half in the Pacific. There are estimated to be as many as 100,000 seamounts at least one kilometer in height, and more if lower rises are included. However, they have not been explored very much—in fact, only about half of one percent have been sampled—and almost every expedition to a seamount discovers new species and new information. There is evidence that seamounts can host concentrations of biologic diversity, each with its own unique local ecosystem; they seem to affect oceanic currents, resulting among other things in local concentration of plankton which in turn attracts species that graze on it, and indeed are probably a significant overall factor in biogeography of the oceans. They also may serve as way stations in the migration of whales and other pelagic species. Despite being poorly studied, they are heavily targeted by commercial fishing, including dredging. In addition they are of interest to potential seabed mining.

The overall goal of CenSeam is "to determine the role of seamounts in the biogeography, biodiversity, productivity, and evolution of marine organisms, and to evaluate the effects of human exploitation on seamounts." To this effect, the group organizes and contributes to various research efforts about seamount biodiversity. Specifically, the project aims to act as a standardized scaffold for future studies and samplings, citing inefficiency and incompatibility between individual research efforts in the past. To give a scale of their mission, there are an estimated 100,000 seamounts in the ocean, but only 350 of them have been sampled, and only about 100 sampled thoroughly. Although sampling all 100,000 seamounts is infeasible, major seamounts can be sampled in such a way.

CenSeam is a subdivision of the Census of Marine Life program. Organisationally, the components of CenSeam consist of a secretariat (Malcolm Clark, Mireille Consalvey, Ashley Rowden and Karen Stocks) which is hosted by the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research in Wellington, New Zealand; an international steering committee; a taxonomic advisory panel; and two working groups, Data Analysis and Standardisation.

In 2008 CenSeam began collaborating with the International Seabed Authority to study effects of seabed mining on seamount ecosystems.

The Cathedral Basilica of St. James is the cathedral church of the Diocese of Brooklyn. It is located at the corner of Jay Street and Cathedral Place in Downtown Brooklyn, New York City. It was built in 1903 and designed by George H. Streeton in the Neo-Georgian style.

History

The first church was built in 1822-1823 and dedicated to the patronage of St. James by Bishop John Connolly on August 28, 1823. It became the cathedral of Brooklyn when the diocese was established in 1853.

Brooklyn's first bishop, John Loughlin planned a new cathedral dedicated to the patroness of the diocese,  the Immaculate Conception and its construction started in 1868 in Fort Greene, at Green Street and Clermont Avenue. The cornerstone for the new cathedral was laid, and the walls built to a height of 10 to 20 feet before construction was stopped due to inadequate funds; of the planned complex, only a chapel (no longer extant) and the Bishop's residence (now LaSalle Hall of Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School) were completed.  In 1896, Louglin's successor Bishop McDonnell designated a St. James Cathedral a pro-cathedral, anticipating the completion of Immaculate Conception. Although the current church on the original site was built in 1903, it did not become a cathedral again until 1972. The newly elected Pope John Paul II visited in 1979, and formally designated it as a basilica in 1982.

While officially the cathedral for the diocese, many major ceremonies are held at larger churches because of St. James' small size.  Accordingly, St. Joseph's Church in Prospect Heights was named co-cathedral for the diocese in 2013.

The Rector of St. James' Cathedral Basilica is Father Bryan Patterson.
