Megalechis thoracata (black marble hoplo, spotted hoplo) is a species of catfish of the family Callichthyidae.  M. thoracata is found east of the Andes in the Amazon, Orinoco, and upper Paraguay River basins, as well as in the coastal rivers of the Guianas and northern Brazil. Recent introductions were recorded in the upper Paraná River drainage.

Care in captivity
Overview: The Spotted Hoplo Catfish is an incredibly hardy and relatively easy species to keep in captivity, with the main difficulty being the maximum size of around 6 inches, or 15 cm.They are a very peaceful fish, with the only exception being when the males are guarding a bubble nest at breeding time. They can be kept with almost all tankmates, but they will likely eat anything that can fit in their mouths. This rule also applies for larger fish, as the Hoplo may get eaten or have its barbels or fins damaged by large, potentially aggressive fish, such as South American Cichlids, African Cichlids, larger catfish and most species fo larger fish that can fit the Hoplo in its mouth or shows aggression.

Tank Setup: They require a soft sand substrate, as they are bottom dwellers that spend lots of time digging around for food. A gentle substrate is essential, as other coarse grained or abrasive substrates can irritate the fish's sensitive barbels, and even cause them to fall off. To thrive in the aquarium, they need a minimum tank size of 55 US liquid gallons, but as a rule of thumb for this fish, the larger the tank, the better. They thrive in groups of at least five, but still do fine alone or in pairs. Hoplo Catfish need hiding places, usually in the form of rocks, wood and plants, such as variations of Anubias, valisineria, java fern and micranthemum. Floating plants are also appreciated, as they provide extra cover.

Water Conditions: Despite the Hoplo being a very hardy fish, like all fish they need a mature, cycled tank with the correct parameters for almost all hardy tropical fish. As they are a tropical fish, the optimal temperature for them is around 24-28 degrees Celsius, but they can adapt to temperatures in the 22-30 degrees Celsius range, which is not recommended.

Habitat
The natural habitat of Megalechis thoracata is slow flowing, low oxygen parts of the  Amazon, Orinoco, and upper Paraguay River basins. For this reason, catfish of the family Callichthyidae among other fish, have developed a unique way of breathing, where the fish will take a gulp of air at the surface of the water. The oxygen will then be absorbed through the lining of the stomach and intestine. This is known as gastrointestinal respiration. They will feed on small to medium-sized worms and other invertebrates, small fish, and general detritus.

Ecology
M. thoracata has been observed to produce sounds during territorial behavior in males at their nest sites and especially during spawning, and during aggressive behavior in both sexes. M. thoracata males aggressively defend territories against intruders.

"This Time I'll Be Sweeter" is a soul ballad written by Haras Fyre (professionally known as Pat Grant) and Gwen Guthrie.

The first release of "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" was as the B-side of the May 1975 Arista Records single release "Love Blind" by Martha Reeves; both sides of Reeves' single were produced by Bert De Coteaux and Tony Silvester who had hired composers Gwen Guthrie and Haras Fyre (pka Patrick/Pat Grant) as staff writers for the De Coteaux/Silvester company Penumbra Music in 1973. The Martha Reeves version of "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" was included on Reeves' 1976 album release The Rest of My Life.

Angela Bofill version

"This Time I'll Be Sweeter" had its highest profile incarnation as the debut single for Angela Bofill who recorded "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" for her Angie album. Bofill's producer Dave Grusin knew of the song due to his being acquainted with its composer Gwen Guthrie who he had frequently utilized as a session singer (Guthrie was a member of the chorale featured on the Angie album although the chorale is not featured on "This Time I'll Be Sweeter"). Co-released with the Angie album on 21 November 1978, Bofill's "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" single would reach #23 on the Hot Soul Singles chart: although Bofill would subsequently score higher-placing Soul chart hits, "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" would remain her only single to approach the Billboard Hot 100, bubbling under at #104. A duet version with Sharon Cuneta was released and performed in the 1983 movie Friends in Love. Bofill's live version of the "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" is featured on her 2006 Live from Manila concert album.

Early versions
De Couteaux and Silvester also produced the version by Linda Lewis on her album Not a Little Girl Anymore released - also on Arista - in June 1975. Lewis' version - whose chorale consisted of the song's co-writer Gwen Guthrie with Deniece Williams - was released as the album's lead single in the US. It was later issued in the UK in September 1976 as the follow-up to the hit song "Baby I'm Yours", just missing the UK Top 50, peaking at #51. The track did afford Lewis a hit in Brazil ranking at #65 on that nation's ranking of the Top 100 singles for the year 1976.
"This Time I'll Be Sweeter" was also featured on the 1976 album release by Marlena Shaw, Just a Matter of Time, a Bert DeCoteaux/Tony Silvester production. Shaw's version of "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" has been cited by the song's co-writer Pat Grant/Haras Fyre (also the bassist on several of the song's earliest versions) as being the original version of the song, as Fyre asserts that Shaw's recording of "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" dates from 1974.
Roberta Flack recorded "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" in the 1973-1974 sessions for her 1975 album release Feel Like Makin' Love with Gwen Guthrie contributing background vocals to the track, which would be held over for release on Flack's 1977 album Blue Lights in the Basement.

Overall there are more than eighty recorded versions of "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" including those by:
Wendy Alleyne,

Teresa Carpio,
Sharon Cuneta

The 1988 Adelaide Bicentennial Carnival was the 22nd edition of the Australian National Football Carnival, an Australian rules football State of Origin competition. Australia was celebrating its Bicentenary in 1988, so the carnival was known as the 'Bicentennial Carnival'. It took place over four days from 2 March until 5 March, and the matches were played at Football Park and Norwood Oval.

Ten teams were involved, including all the states and territories, making it the most heavily contested competition. They were divided into two sections. South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia and New South Wales were in Section One. Although traditionally the Tasmanians had enjoyed more success in the interstate arena than New South Wales, the latter had 22 VFL players in its squad compared to the island state's 15, which helped them obtain the final Section One spot.

Section Two was occupied by the Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory, Queensland, Tasmania and two non-regional teams. The Australian Amateurs was one of those, a squad of amateur players from across the country's leagues. Finally, the Victorian Association representative team made up the remainder of the group, but selection for this team was not restricted to Victorian Football Association players. If a footballer, now competing elsewhere, had started his career in the Victorian Football Association—such as Terry Wallace, for example—then he was eligible to join the squad. The same rules applied to the other teams, so, if a Tasmanian-born player had started his career at West Perth, he could be selected for either Tasmania or Western Australia.

Attendances at the tournament were lower than expected, and overall the tournament ran at a $30,000 loss. The winning state was originally to have received a $40,000 prize, with incrementally lower prizes for all other states; however, these prizes were abandoned due to the operating loss.

Desert sand is a very light and very weakly saturated reddish yellow colour which corresponds specifically to the coloration of sand. It may also be regarded as a deep tone of beige.

Desert sand was used by General Motors, along with "rosewood", as a paint color for their early Cadillacs.

In 1998, desert sand was made into a Crayola crayon colour.

The color shown matches the palest of the three colors in the 3-color Desert Camouflage Uniform of United States Armed Forces, which in 1990 began to replace the 6-color Desert Battle Dress Uniform.

Six Color Variations of Desert Sand

Sandy brown

As its name suggests, sandy brown is a shade of brown which is similar to the color of some sands.

Earth yellow

Earth yellow is one of the twelve official camouflage colors of the United States Army.

Sand

Sand is a color that resembles the color of beach sand. In fact, another name for this color is beach, an alternate color name in use for this color since 1923.

The first recorded use of sand as a color name in English was in 1627.

The normalized color coordinates for sand are identical to ecru, which was first recorded as a color name in English in 1836.

The San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball currently use Sand as one of their team colors.

Desert

Desert is a color that resembles the color of the flat areas of a desert.

The first recorded use of desert as a color name in English was in 1920.

The normalized color coordinates for desert are identical to fallow, wood brown and camel, which were first recorded as color names in English in 1000, 1886, and 1916, respectively.

Sand dune (Drab)

Sand dune is a color that resembles the color of a sand dune composed of dark colored sand.

The first recorded use of sand dune as a color name in English was in 1925.

The normalized color coordinates for sand dune are identical to the color names drab, mode beige and bistre brown, which were first recorded as color names in English, respectively, in 1686, 1928, and 1930.

Field drab

Field drab is one of the twelve official camouflage colors of the United States Army.

Desert sand in human culture
Fashion
 Earth yellow is a popular color for women’s handbags.

Interior design
 The tones of desert sand are called desert colors because they suggest the colors of the landscape of and of the design of the Native American cultures of the Southwestern United States. The desert colors are widely used (with both tones of sky blue or turquoise and tones of maroon to complement them) in Southwest Design.
Military
 The colors desert sand, earth yellow, sand, and field drab are all on the list of the twelve standard camouflage colors used by the United States Department of the Army.

Vittsjö is a locality situated in Hässleholm Municipality, Scania County, Sweden with 1,665 inhabitants in 2010.

History
During the Kalmar War, Vittsjö was the site of the 1612 Battle of Vittsjö, where recently crowned Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus nearly drowned while retreating from Danish forces.

Vittsjö municipality, located in Western District Göinge, then Kristianstad län, was extended in 1952 through the merger with Verum and Visseltofta municipalities.

Geography
Vittsjö has an altitude of . Nearby towns are Hässleholm, Markaryd, Osby and Kristianstad.

The city itself has a rail line running through as well as a major highway, Route 117. The area is ideal for canoeing due to its major lake Vittsjön.

Commerce
The first houses in the town were built around the railroad station which was built in the 1860s. As a result, manufacturing industries settled in the area.

The construction of Öresund Bridge and Sweden's EU membership made Skåne an ideal center of commerce. Hässleholm offered highly competitive land prices convenienently located to Malmö and Copenhagen, making it appealing for industry to settle there.

One fifth of all employment is within the manufacturing industry, with the emphasis on wood and metal. Other popular employment consists of public administration, commerce, private services, the construction industry, transport and farming and forestry.

The Montreux Volley Masters (founded as the Coupe des Nations, later changed to BCV Volley Cup between 1990 and 1996 and to its final name in 1998) was an international invitational tournament for national teams in women's volleyball hosted by the Swiss Volley. Held annually in Montreux, Switzerland since 1984, it was the tournament that opened the international season for national teams. It ceased to exist after 34 editions in 2020.

The main objective of this competition was to work as a preparation for more important and prestigious volleyball tournaments organized by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), such as the World Grand Prix, the World Championship, the World Cup and the Olympic Games. Many national teams used the tournament as a way of giving experience and international baggage to young players and, as a result, countries were often represented by their underage national teams.

The Tammari people, or Batammariba, or Tamberma or Somba, also known as Otamari or Ottamari, are an Oti–Volta-speaking people of the Atakora Department of Benin where they are also known as Somba and neighboring areas of Togo, where they are officially known as Ta(m)berma. They are famous for their two-story fortified houses, known as Tata Somba ("Somba house"), in which the ground floor houses livestock at night, internal alcoves are used for cooking, and the upper floor contains a rooftop courtyard that is used for drying grain, as well as containing sleeping quarters and granaries. These evolved by adding an enclosing roof to the clusters of huts, joined by a connecting wall that is typical of Gur-speaking areas of West Africa.

The Tammari are mostly animists. Tammari language is in the Gur family.

The Batammariba are agronomic herdsmen who inhabit the hills and valleys. Being clannish by nature, they oppose any form of domination and servitude.

Historical research has traced their migration from diverse regions, settling in small groups, while preserving their societal practices of origin. The Batammariba tribe doesn't form a homogeneous society, but Batammariba language is a strong common link and despite disparities in ceremonial practices, all Tammari affirm allegiance as "Serpent Children". They believe they are the offspring of a grand, invisible, underground "Serpent Mother" who bore the first eggs of their ancestors.

Today, Tammari are especially found in towns such as Nikki and Kandi that were once Bariba kingdoms and in Parakou in mid-eastern Benin. However, there is also a significant population of them in northwest Benin in the Atacora region in cities such as Natitingou and a number of villages. Many in the northwest have migrated to the east.

Ethnonym
The name Batammariba (or Batammaliba) means "those who are the real architects of the earth".

Link to the land
After years (or maybe centuries) of wandering, the Batammariba settled in the valleys, a way of existence they preferred to their former history of conflict with law-imposing warlords and chieftains. Their name implies a close connection to the land where rituals are practised.

The underground region is the domain of dead spirits to whom the Batammariba owe their very existence with nature and the ability to generate.

The Batammariba do not consider themselves landowners, but caretakers. Their settlement could not have happened without the intercession of the Babietiba, (first settlers),  who belonged to a highly culturally evolved group of foragers, then introduced them to the “true owners of the region”: underground forces incarnated into a source such as a rock or a tree. These ancestors of the Batammaribas concluded an alliance with the forces, swearing  to respect some agricultural rules and the pieces of land that belonged to the forces. In exchange, the forces allowed the ancestors to build houses and to harvest the soil. Initiations or rituals are meetings with underground forces. This link to the underground forces demanded bravery, self-mastery, and discretion, essential qualities by which the Batammaribas are formed from a young age.

The Takyenta
The Takyenta (also spelled Takienta) traditional dwelling, including the famous Tata Somba, is typically built of mud and surrounded by towers that support garrets, evoking medieval citadels. The dwellings each have a masculine (south) orientation and a feminine (north) orientation. Models of takyentas differ from village to village. The storied construction with its solid walls acts as a protective fortress to keep out invaders and repel fatal spear attacks on its inhabitants.  It also serves as protection against leopards who, according to the village elders, roam freely in the overgrown bush. Building the fortress took several months and required much skilled labor. The upper floor was a living space and a safe haven.

Up until 2000, parents and their children slept in elevated box structures placed on the sides and center areas of the terrasse. These boxes were also designed to protect the inhabitants and their guests from the midday heat.
Nowadays the fortresses are reserved for ancestral devotional ceremonies. The souls of the ancestors reside in the earthen cone-shaped altars. Strangers cannot enter the temple area without permission from the head of the home.

On the exterior south side of the fortress are the altars containing spirits of animals that were formerly hunted and killed.
The altar can also contain underground spirits with whom those ancestors who possessed the gift of "sight" had made a pact. Therefore, the connection between the dwellings and the sacred altars of the village is extremely strong.

The uniqueness and sophistication of this architecture has been recognized since 2004 by UNESCO as a world heritage site, with the statement, "Koutammakou is an outstanding example of territorial occupation by a people in constant search of harmony between man and the surrounding nature". The residences of the Somba people have become an attraction in the fledgling tourist industry of Benin and Togo.

Traditional religion
The traditional religion of the Batammariba centers around one Supreme Deity, Kuiye, the sun god and creator of both gods and humans. Kuiye is believed to resemble a human in appearance, but is also considered  both male and female, so that the deity is often referred to as "The Sun, Our Father and Our Mother". Like all living beings, according to Batammariba thought, Kuiye possesses a corporeal form known as Kuiye, and a soul, known as Liye. Kuiye, the corporeal form of the deity, is thought to live in the "sun village" in the west, above the sky, while Liye travels the sky each day in the form of a disc of light.

Butan, the goddess of the Earth and the Underworld, is Kuiye's complement as either Kuiye's wife or twin. Butan is the ruler of everything within the Earth or on its surface, including vegetal growth and agriculture, game proliferation, cemeteries, etc. Her corporeal form, invisible to humans, is said to resemble a mudfish, an animal that is thought to vomit up an infinite amount of water. Because of this, her main shrine is a village spring. Her complementary soul is called Bupe, and is visible as the surface of the Earth.

The third major Batammariba deity is Oyinkakwata, "the Rich Man Above", who is the god of the sky, of thunder, lightning and storms. His soul is visible to humans in the form of lightning, but his invisible body is said to be filled with air.

But the Batammariba world is filled with many more deities who are quite different than the three cosmological gods described above: initiation deities who select their worshippers according to various factors such as gender, martial prowess, ability for clairvoyance, etc. They include the Fawafa, the python deity of men's initiations, Fakuntifa, the lizard deity of women's initiations, Fayenfe, the god of war and death, Litakon, the god of twins and fertility, and Kupon, the deity of divination, etc.

These deities are better considered families of deities, or deity types, rather than unique deities: male and female Fawafa deities, for example, are believed to produce offspring of their deity type. The Batammariba may acquire these deities by inheriting them, hunting and capturing them in the wild, or by buying and selling them to and from their neighbors. The matriarch, and presumably most powerful, of each deity type is believed to reside in Linaba, the mythological first village where Kuiye first created humans and deities.

Founding of Batammaribas

This connection is a cosmic expression of Batammariba spirituality and they have shown themselves
to be intractable concerning their foundation. They maintain a strictly age-based hierarchy between elders and younger residents, like all African societies, but oppose any form of centralized power, and reject hereditary chieftains.
Two, four or six clans can form a "village" or, to be more precise, a "territorial groupement" centered around the rituals upheld by each clan. A ritual center is the foundation of the village and is organized around a cemetery, a large initiation house for the youth, and the head serpent sanctuary.
The clans share and recognize certain family bonds as they all descend from the same founding fathers. Another important pillar of the Batammariba is an exceptionally well-preserved system of funeral rites and initiation ceremonies. Those responsible for the rituals are imbued with authority and are chosen following rigorous ethics, notably discretion and self-mastery as, for example, if one is threatened with a knife, prefers to be killed than to kill.
Nowadays the Batammariba accord the same importance to their rituals.

The youngest amongst them, whether schooled or not, whether they leave or stay in the village, will only very rarely not keep the cycle of initiation tradition.

Fidelity to tradition, like caring for and respecting the land on which their survival depends, their natural pride, warrior traditions, and hunting skills are  intensely revived with ceremony. This has permitted the Batammariba to resist outside influences that negate their determination to maintain the millenary heritage that makes their culture so remarkable.

From 19 to 24 October 2018, UNESCO organized an emergency mission to assess the damage allegedly caused by the August 2018 rains in Koutammakou on habitat and on the intangible heritage. The report was prepared by three international experts: Ishanlosen Odiaua, Dominique Sewane and Franck Ogou.

Traditional scarification
The Tammari people are known for their traditional body scarring rituals, starting between the age of two and three. These special marks are a form of lifelong identification marks (tattoo ID), which identify a person as belonging to one's tribe as well as more coded personal information. Additional marks are added at puberty, readiness for marriage, post-child birth as a form of visible communication. These scars range from some on the face, to belly and back.

Philipp Bruch (February 11, 1781 – February 11, 1847) was a German pharmacist and bryologist born in Zweibrücken. His father, Johann Christian Bruch was also a pharmacist.

He initially worked at a pharmacy in Mainz, and afterwards studied in Marburg and Paris. Following the death of his father, he inherited the elder Bruch's pharmacy in Zweibrücken at the age of 21.

Bruch collaborated with Wilhelm Philippe Schimper (1808–1880) on the epic Bryologia europaea, a six-volume work on European bryology. Also, he described a number of species from the moss genus Orthotrichum that received valid publication (Bruch ex Brid.) from Swiss bryologist Samuel Elisée Bridel-Brideri (1761–1828). The genus Bruchia from the family Bruchiaceae is named in his honor.

Bruch died on his birthday at the age of 66.

George Tradescant Lay (c. 1800 – 6 November 1845) was a British naturalist, missionary and diplomat.

Lay was a naturalist on the English sailing ship HMS Blossom under the command of Captain Frederick William Beechey from 1825 to 1828, where he collected specimens in the Pacific including California, Alaska, Kamchatka, China, Mexico, South America, and Hawaii, and other South Pacific islands.  He is credited as being one of the discoverers of the flower Layia gaillardioides, as a result having the genus Layia named for him.

He then went on to become a missionary in China for the British and Foreign Bible Society from 1836 to 1839.  During this time, he studied the Chinese language and culture.  Upon returning to England in 1839, his experience in China helped him obtain a position of British Consul in China.  He was posted in Canton in 1843, then Fuzhou in 1844, and finally Amoy in 1845, before dying later that year from a fever.

His son, Horatio Nelson Lay following in his footsteps, was also a diplomat in China.

The 1940 College Football All-America team is composed of college football players who were selected as All-Americans by various organizations and writers that chose College Football All-America Teams in 1940. The nine selectors recognized by the NCAA as "official" for the 1940 season are (1) Collier's Weekly, as selected by Grantland Rice, (2) the Associated Press (AP), (3) the United Press (UP), (4) the All-America Board (AAB), (5) the International News Service (INS), (6) Liberty magazine, (7) the Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA), (8) Newsweek, and (9) the Sporting News (SN).

Michigan halfback (and Heisman Trophy winner) Tom Harmon, Texas A&M fullback John Kimbrough, and Tennessee guard Bob Suffridge were the only three unanimous first-team All-Americans chosen by all nine official selectors.

Consensus All-Americans
For the year 1940, the NCAA recognizes nine published All-American teams as "official" designations for purposes of its consensus determinations. The following chart identifies the NCAA-recognized consensus All-Americans and displays which first-team designations they received.

Darius Quimby is recognized as the first known law enforcement officer to be killed in the line of duty in the United States. Constable Quimby worked for the Albany County Constable's Office of New York. He was killed on January 3, 1791. He may have been an unpaid peace officer.

Constable Quimby was killed while attempting to arrest a man named Whiting Sweeting of Stephentown, New York on a trespassing warrant. A 1790 census lists a Darius in the family of Ephraim Quimby there and of an age eligible to be a constable. Sweeting was convicted of murdering Constable Quimby in the July session of the New York State Supreme Court and hanged on August 26, 1791.

Henry Mathewson (December 24, 1886 – July 1, 1917) was an American professional baseball player that appeared in three games with the National League's New York Giants between the 1906 and 1907 seasons. A younger brother of Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson, Henry Mathewson's career was primarily spent pitching semi-professional baseball until his death at the age of 30.

Early life
Henry Mathewson was born on December 24, 1886, as the fourth of six children. Henry was the third of four Mathewson brothers, after older brothers Christy and Cyril (who died as an infant), and before younger brother Nicholas.  His father, Gilbert, was a postmaster for the United States Senate, and his mother, Minerva, was a leader of the local Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Minerva was said to be responsible for teaching Henry and the other Mathewson brothers to throw.

Major league career
Henry was first offered a professional contract by the Chicago Cubs during the spring of 1906; he turned down their offer so that he could join Christy with the New York Giants; by that time, the elder Mathewson had established himself as a star by winning the pitching Triple Crown in 1905. Due to Christy's fame, Henry Mathewson was much written about in the press as the "next Matty" throughout his career.

Despite the hype, Henry did not pitch well in exhibition games. Ultimately, he spent much of 1906 pitching in semi-professional leagues. When his semi-pro season ended in September, Henry was brought up to the major league roster. At nineteen years of age, he was the youngest player in the National League at that time.

Henry's debut in 1906, on September 28, saw him replace his brother, Christy, to finish an 8-2 Giants victory against the St. Louis Cardinals. Henry faced five batters in his inning of work and did not allow a walk or a hit; he was, however, responsible for allowing a run during his time on the mound. He was retroactively credited with a save for his efforts.

On October 5, the final day of the regular season, Henry was given a start against the last place Boston Beaneaters.  Facing Big Jeff Pfeffer, Mathewson gave up one run over the first six innings, matching Pfeffer, but struggled over the next three by giving up six runs and lost 7-1. Despite giving up only six hits, compared to Pfeffer's nine, he had major control issues, allowing fourteen walks and also hitting a batter. No National League pitcher has allowed more walks in a single game since 1906.

Manager John McGraw retained Henry for the 1907 season, but his time with the club was short-lived. Appearing on the roster for the first weeks of the year, he made only a single appearance with the big league club. The appearance came on May 4 against the Brooklyn Superbas, where he was called upon to pitch the ninth inning of a game started by Hooks Wiltse, who had limited Brooklyn to two hits. Mathewson allowed a hit and threw a wild pitch, but finished the shutout for the Giants; Mathewson again earned a save for his outing. Eleven days later, the Giants sent Henry to the Wilmington Peaches of the Tri-State League.

Later life
Henry's only documented appearances in the minors, following his time with Wilmington in 1907 (along with a brief stint with the Pottsville team in the unclassified Atlantic League), came in 1909. That year, he split time with two teams, the Columbus Foxes and Savannah Indians of the South Atlantic League, appearing in fourteen games overall. He is documented as having seven hits in forty at-bats combined between the two teams.  The younger Mathewson mostly pitched semi-pro baseball after his National League experience until 1915, briefly abandoning pitching in favor of becoming an outfielder for a period of time, and also played on indoor baseball teams during several off-seasons.

In 1916, the younger Mathewson contracted tuberculosis. After a year, Henry died from the disease on June 30, 1917.

Illinois Valley Community College (IVCC) is a community college in Oglesby, Illinois.  The college serves a  district encompassing all of Putnam and parts of Bureau, LaSalle, DeKalb, Grundy, Lee, Livingston, and Marshall counties.  The college sits on a  campus that was constructed in 1972.  The college offers associate degrees and certificates and has been accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools since 1929.

History

LPO Junior College

IVCC was founded in 1924 under the name LaSalle-Peru-Oglesby Junior College with an entering class of 32 students studying in facilities provided by the LaSalle-Peru Township High School.  The mission of the college during this time period was to lay the foundations for successful careers.  The first president of the college was Dr. Thomas J. McCormack, who had served as superintendent of the high school since 1903.

On July 1, 1966, LaSalle-Peru-Oglesby College was given a new name. Illinois Valley Community College replaced LPO, and in the fall of 1968 was relocated to its current location on the opposite side of the Illinois River from the LaSalle-Peru area.  The new name seemed fitting because much of the area that the college district encompasses is referred to as the Illinois Valley.  The relocation was possible due to an $8.25 million referendum voted on by members of District 513 to finance the beginning of IVCC.  The first courses took place in the new location in September, 1968.

IVCC today
The Illinois Valley Community College district encompasses roughly , contains 21 high schools, and includes more than 146,000 residents.  The college is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.  The HLC is a division of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.  In November 2002, IVCC was accepted into the HLC's Academic Quality Improvement Program. The majority of courses occur in buildings A through E, but the campus is not limited to this area. Industrial courses are taught in buildings on the eastern side of the campus, and a cultural center and gym with a fitness center are also present.  Although 89% of students attend class during the day, IVCC offers night courses for those whose schedules conflict with the earlier class periods.
In 2000 the college opened a branch campus at Ottawa Center.  The college is supported by a foundation created in 1976 to manage bequests and other financial gifts to the college.  In 2007 the foundation created IVCC's first alumni association.  In 2009, Cassie Fuller and Veronica Blue were named to the All-USA Community College Academic Team, placing them in the top 50 and 150 community college students nationwide.

Student activities and services

Clubs and athletics
The department "complements the student's academic experience through the development of, exposure to, and participation in social, cultural, multicultural, intellectual, recreational, community service and campus governance programs".  The college puts on theatrical and musical performances each year.  Performers range from students to visiting artists.

IVCC is home to varsity and intramural sports teams.  Varsity sports include basketball, baseball, soccer and tennis.  The college's Eagle's athletic program is a member of the Arrowhead Conference, that also includes Carl Sandburg College, Black Hawk College, Black Hawk College — East, Kishwaukee College, Highland Community College and Sauk Valley Community College.  The college offers eight varsity sports.

Services
Counselors are available to assist students in developing academic strategies or in determining a career path. Counseling is not limited to  academic matters, students facing other issues are welcome to talk to a counselor.  In addition to the counseling and advising services, students can use the peer tutoring and reading, writing and study skills lab.  Peer tutors are hired by the College to assist other students who are struggling.  An on-site bookstore, computer resource center and day care are available.

Academics

Programs of study
Illinois Valley Community College is primarily a two-year institution; therefore, the majority of the programs offered are either completed in this two-year period, or they set the foundation for students transferring to a 4-year institution.  Associate in Applied Science Degrees are completed in two years and prepare students for employment.  Computer Aided Engineering and Design, Early Childhood Education and Therapeutic Massage are a few of the two-year programs.

In addition to these programs, forty-one certificate programs are available to students.  Certificates offered by the college typically require one to four semesters and prepare students for a vocational career upon completion of the program.  Additional associate degrees are available for students planning to transfer to a four-year institution.  Associate Degrees in the Arts, Sciences, Engineering Sciences and General Studies are offered to potential transfer students. Even though the IVCC offers a variety of programs, some students will be unable to take the necessary courses for their intended major.  For situations such as these, Illinois Valley Community College "maintains a close cooperative agreement with 20 other colleges in the Illinois community college system".  Students may complete their degree at the appropriate institution and not have to pay any out-of-district fees.

Admissions
Illinois Valley Community College generally offers open admission; however, prospective students must have a high school diploma or GED to be enrolled in the institution.  Acceptance into the nursing and dental programs is selective, and minimum GPAs are specified for these programs.  A minimum 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale is required for students planning to enroll in the dental assistant program or the nursing program to be a Licensed practical nurse.  A background in laboratory science and a 2.5 GPA are required for students enrolling in the nursing program to be a Registered nurse.

Transportation
The campus of IVCC in Oglesby is served by Bureau & Putnam Area Rural Transit, and North Central Area Transit. Both transit agencies provide demand-response service to campus from their respective areas of service.

He collaborated in the 1940s with David Lean on such films as Brief Encounter (1945), Great Expectations (1946), and Oliver Twist (1948). His first film as director was Stranger in Town in 1957. However, he is best remembered for bringing the Agatha Christie character Miss Marple to the big screen for the first time in 1961 with Murder She Said. He directed three more Miss Marple adaptations: Murder at the Gallop (1963), Murder Most Foul (1964), and Murder Ahoy (1964) (which was based on an original screenplay). He also directed a 1965 adaptation of Christie's Ten Little Indians.

As well as film, Pollock directed episodes of the TV programmes Interpol Calling, Zero One, Gideon's Way, and Danger Man. One of his final contributions to films was as the special effects co-ordinator for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

He died 22 December 1979, aged 72, in Thanet in Kent.

Roman Lysko (; 14 August 1914 – 14 October 1949) was a Ukrainian Greek Catholic priest and martyr.

Lysko was born on 14 August 1914 in Horodok, Lviv Oblast. He studied theology and graduated from the Lviv Theological Academy. On 28 August 1941 he was ordained a priest by Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky.  He was pastor of the Archeparchy of Lviv for Ukrainians.

He was assigned administrator for the parish in the village of Kotliw, Oliyiv county. In 1944 Lysko was assigned to a parish in the village of Belzets, Zolochiv county. He was also a member of the underground Ukrainian youth organization Plast in his 30s and leader of the Plast group "Fox" (Lys).

Lysko was also active in working with youth, together with his wife (ordaining married priests is a common practice in the Eastern Churches, since the beginning of Christianity).

He refused to sign statement of conversion to Orthodoxy.

On 9 September 1949, he was arrested by the NKVD. He was put into prison in Lviv.  The people of the city reported hearing him loudly sing Psalms after he was tortured.  His torturers reportedly thought he had gone insane.  He died from starvation after being immured in the prison walls.  The official date of his death was 14 October 1949. For years his family attempted to find out his fate until they were told in 1956 that he died of heart paralysis, but some witnesses reported seeing him in prison after this date, with accounts that they had heard him singing the psalms. It was even reported that he was sealed up in a wall, still alive, where he gave his life as martyr.

A plaque on that building on Lonsky Avenue reads that "here, within the walls of this building, entombed alive, lies Father Roman Lysko, who gave up his life for his faith."

He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 27 June 2001.

Niece's testimony
"He was imprisoned on Lontskyi Street. His mother brought him some packages. Sometimes his grandmother came from Zhulychi to visit him. At first the packages were accepted. The prisoner always had the right to thank the giver with the same card with which the package was sent. These cards were always sent back; even the bags in which they usually put the packages were sent back. And there were always those cards, on which he wrote, ""Thank you. Many kisses', and signed it. After the murder of Halan [a communist agitator], they refused to accept packages. But after 6 months, when they started to accept packages again, then the relatives found a card with 'thanks' and a signature written, but in a stranger's hand. It was a completely different handwriting." – From an interview with his niece, Lidia Kupchyk.

Clarkia imbricata is a rare species of flowering plant in the evening primrose family known by the common name Vine Hill clarkia. It is endemic to Sonoma County, California, where it is known from only one remaining natural occurrence near Vine Hill. A second natural population located on private land was extirpated when the owners plowed up the soil crust. The California Native Plant Society has established a third population from cuttings and is tending it in a reserve. This is a federally listed endangered species.

Vine Hill clarkia is an annual herb growing erect to about half a meter in maximum height. The leaves are lance-shaped and about 2 centimeters long. The inflorescence is a dense array of open flowers and erect closed flower buds. The four sepals separate when the flower opens. The petals are fan-shaped with frilly edges, measuring 2 to 2.5 centimeters long. They are lavender with a wash of white near the base and a wedge of darker lavender above. There are 8 stamens with anthers of equal size, and a protruding stigma.

Juan Antonio Arguelles Rius (November 2, 1978 – June 3, 2007), also known as Arguru (sometimes Argu), was a prolific music software programmer and electronic musician, producer and songwriter, responsible for such applications as NoiseTrekker and Directwave. Worked for the company discoDSP and was later hired by Image-Line and involved in the development of Deckadance and FL Studio 7. Arguru died in a car accident on June 3, 2007.

Biography
Juan Antonio Arguelles was born on November 2, 1978, in Málaga, Spain. In 1997, Arguru started out as one of the most productive plugin developers of the Jeskola buzz-scene. In 2000, he and Frank Cobos (known as "Freaky") began mixing psytrance as a duo in Malaga under the name Alienated Buddha. They released the album Inpsyde on Out of Orion in February 2002. In May 2000 he created Psycle until version 1.0, which he then released into the public domain.

Arguru worked for the software company discoDSP with George Reales since July 2002. discoDSP is known for developing audio plugins such as Discovery, Discovery Pro, Vertigo, Bliss, Phantom and Corona. Discovery is notable for being the first commercial VSTi plugin that was available on both Windows and Linux. He left the company in 2004 to begin working for Image-Line. While at Image-Line, he contributed to the development of FL Studio and was the primary programmer for the DJ software Deckadance, released in 2007.

Other projects
 Aodix 1,2 and 3 were basic sequencer programs that used the amiga style "tracker" interface, with an integrated sampler and integrated synth that were progressively dropped in favor of a VST host.
 Aodix 4 is a digital audio workstation program that is advertised as "the ultimate bridge between tracking and sequencing", co-authored with Zafer Kantar, and with the participation of Paul Merchant and Marc De Haar. Aodix 4 brought several innovative technologies to trackers such as pattern zoom and subtick timing and VST support with modular routing. Aodix 4 was a commercial software at its first release, but was re-released as freeware after the death of Juan Antonio.
 NoiseTrekker was a Windows tracker with MIDI, internal synth, 2 TB303s and DSP support featuring a classic amiga-style interface. NoiseTrekker code was used as a basis for the first version of Renoise, one of the most modern and actively developed music trackers.
 Psycle is a complete modular music creation environment with a tracker interface. Versions up to 1.0 were created by Arguru. After that it was released into the public domain, development was continued by other people. Current versions are released under GNU GPL and available for all major platforms.

Death
On June 3, 2007, near the city of Benalmádena (Málaga, Spain), Arguru was driving when he lost control and crashed into an RV, dying in the accident. His funeral was on June 4, 2007, in the park cemetery of Malaga.
The whole music software community was appalled by Arguru's unexpected death, and showed their strong support to Arguru's relatives.
