The Revolutionary Socialist Workers' Party (, POSR) was a French socialist political party founded by Jean Allemane in 1890 and dissolved in 1901. It is indirectly one of the founding factions of the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO), which was founded in 1905.

The POSR was founded by a dissidence from the Federation of the Socialist Workers of France (FTSF) led by Jean Allemane. The party, which along with Allemane was a strong believer of the primacy of syndicalism in politics, became a base of future revolutionary syndicalism and parties of a similar ideology would occasionally be described as Allemaniste.

However, next to the working-class socialism of Allemane, an intellectual socialist movement developed within the POSR, led by Lucien Herr, a librarian. This movement's priority was the education of the people. Overall, the POSR was a moderate reformist party, influenced by possibilism which believed that socialism could be achieved through democratic action, such as decentralization and legislative participation.

In 1901, the POSR merged with the FTSF and Independent Socialists to form the French Socialist Party (PSF).

In 1905, the PSF was along with the Socialist Party of France a founding member of the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO).

Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (abbreviated Aze or Azc) is a plant non-protein amino acid homologue of proline with the molecular formula C4H7NO2. Aze is a heterocyclic, 4 membered ring with nitrogen as its heteroatom (an azetidine), and a carboxylic acid group substituted on one of the ring carbon atoms.  The main difference between Aze and proline is the ring of Aze has four members and the ring of proline has five.<ref name=Rubenstein>{{cite journal |author1=Rubenstein E. |author2=T. McLaughlin |author3=R.C. Winant |author4=A. Sanchez |author5=M. Eckart |author6=K.M. Krasinska |author7=A. Chien. |year=2008 |title= Azetidine-2-carboxylic Acid in the Food Chain|journal=Phytochemistry |volume=70 |issue=1|pages=1–5 |pmid=19101705 |doi=10.1016/j.phytochem.2008.11.007}}</ref> Aze has the ability to act as an analog of proline and can be incorporated into proteins in place of proline.

 Synthesis

Optically inactive Aze was obtained in small yield from the neurotransmitter GABA by α-bromination, followed by removal of hydrogen bromide from the intermediate γ-amino-α-bromobutyric acid and ring closure by treatment with a barium hydroxide solution. An optically active Aze was obtained by treatment of α,γ-diaminobutyric acid dihydrochloride with a mixture of nitrous and hydrochloric acids to yield γ-amino-α-chlorobutyric acid, followed by elimination of hydrogen chloride and cyclization by treatment with barium hydroxide.

 Occurrence
Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid has been known since 1955 to be present in rhizomes and fresh foliage of certain plants.  It is known to occur in two species from the Asparagaceae - Convallaria majalis (lily of the valley), and Polygonatum (solomon's seal). Aze is also found in numerous plants from the bean family Fabaceae, and has also been detected in small quantities in table beets, garden beets, and sugar beets.

 Toxicity
It has been shown that when Aze is misincorporated into proteins in place of proline, Aze deters the growth of competing vegetation and poisons predators.  Other studies have shown effects of Aze resulting in a wide range of toxic and teratogenic disorders, including in a range of malformations, in various animal species including ducks, hamsters, mice, and rabbits.

Misincorporation of Aze into human proteins can alter collagen, keratin, hemoglobin, and protein folding. However, the lack of detailed toxicologic data and the need for more direct evidence about the damaging effects of the misincorporation of Aze on specific proteins are reasons why the toxicity of Aze to humans cannot be determined at this time. Molecular studies of human prolyl- and alanyl-tRNA synthetases suggest that Aze is incorporated in proteins as proline with toxic consequences in vivo''. Even if Aze seems to fit into the active site of both tRNA synthetases (due to its double mimicry effect of alanine and proline), it is rejected by alanyl-tRNA synthetases post-transfer editing system.

Bob Hoffman (born July 18, 1957) is an American college basketball coach who is currently the head coach at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Early life
He is a graduate of Putnam City High School in Warr Acres, Oklahoma and went to Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee to play basketball. He met his wife there and after graduation he was hired at Piedmont High School in Piedmont, Oklahoma just northwest of Oklahoma City.

Coaching career
He was then hired as the head women's basketball coach at Southern Nazarene University, where his team won the NAIA national championship in 1989. From there he returned to his alma mater as men's coach for the following ten years.

From OBU he was the coach at University of Texas-Pan American then back to Oklahoma where he served as an assistant to Kelvin Sampson at the University of Oklahoma until Sampson was found to have committed numerous NCAA violations. After an investigation of the entire coaching staff, Hoffman was cleared by the NCAA of any wrongdoing, and parted ways with the program. Prior to his role at Mercer University, Hoffman went on to coach in the American Basketball League and the NBA Development League. He was hired on March 27, 2008 to replace Mark Slonaker. He led Mercer to the 2012 CollegeInsider.com Tournament championship as well as the University's first NCAA Tournament victory in an upset of No. 6 Duke on March 21, 2014.

Hoffman won his 400th game as a men's college coach when Mercer defeated Lipscomb University on January 26, 2013. With the victory, Hoffman was 488–239 as a men's and women's college coach. In addition, he previously served as head coach of the Arkansas Aeros in the American Basketball Association and of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in the NBA Development League Hoffman was the first coach in NCAA Division I Men's basketball history to post a victory in each of the collegiate post season basketball tournaments.  He later coached at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia from 2008 to 2019.

Heron Pond – Little Black Slough Nature Preserve (also known simply as Heron Pond) is a parcel of protected wetland property located in Belknap, Illinois, approximately 5 miles (8 km) southwest of Vienna, in Johnson County.  It was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1972. As part of the Cache River basin, it is classified as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.

Biological history
Heron Pond – Little Black Slough Nature Preserve protects a swath of Cache River drainage upstream from the Post Creek Cutoff. Its biology and geology are representative of the Coastal Plain natural division in Illinois, which is the northernmost extent of the Gulf Coastal Plain in North America. It combines upland limestone bluffs (Wildcat Bluff), Cache River floodplain, and a drier mesic woodland (Boss Island).

The wetland sections of this Nature Preserve protect several old growth stands of bald cypress and water tupelo, and a heron rookery. As of 2023, the Illinois state-champion cherrybark oak can be viewed from the Todd Fink-Heron Pond hiking trail.

The name of the Wildcat Bluff upland may commemorate one of the nature preserve's top carnivores, the bobcat. River otters can also be found at Heron Pond. Birdwatchers visit Heron Pond – Little Black Slough to search for a variety of raptors, including the black vulture, red-shouldered hawk, and the barred owl, and enjoy a variety of songbirds, including the Kentucky warbler and the yellow-throated warbler.

Today
The Heron Pond – Little Black Slough Nature Preserve complex comprises 1,861 acres (753 hectares) of land accessible from U.S. Highway 45. In terms of area, it is the largest natural area owned and operated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

A floating boardwalk that is part of the Todd Fink-Heron Pond Trail allows visitors to enter the bald cypress/water tupelo swamp.

The name of the small nearby town of Cypress, Illinois, appears to commemorate the cypress trees of the upper Cache River drainage, including the groves now protected within the Heron Pond – Little Black Slough Nature Preserve.

Erythrochampsa ("red crocodile") is an extinct genus of protosuchian crocodylomorph. Fossils have been found from the Red Beds of the Stormberg Group, the youngest group of strata from the Karoo Supergroup outcropping in South Africa.

Description
Material from E. longipes, the type (and only) species of Erythrochampsa, was originally referred to the genus Notochampsa in 1904 along with specimens of another species named N. istedana. However, certain features of material from this species, such as divided external nares, have been considered to be indications of a position within Pseudosuchia rather than Crocodilia as was originally supposed. Despite this, the material of N. longipes remained highly suggestive of a crocodilian, and thus the species was eventually placed within its own distinct genus, Erythrochampsa, in 1924. It was placed in the family Notochampsidae, and was considered closely related to Notochampsa, whose position within Crocodylomorpha had been reconsidered to be intermediate between "thecodonts" and crocodilians. The family Notochampsidae is now known as Protosuchidae

There is no skull present in the material associated with the genus, making further classification rather difficult. Although the postcranial skeleton is quite fragmentary, the pelvis clearly shows of its relations to other crocodilians by the absence of the pubis in the acetabular border. Features of the pelvis as well as the hind limb and pes bore a close resemblance to early crocodyliformes such as Protosuchus, used as evidence of its relations as a protosuchid.

Sir William Edward Murray Tomlinson, 1st Baronet,  (4 August 1838 – 17 December 1912) was an English lawyer, colliery owner and Conservative politician.

Tomlinson was born at Heysham House in the Lancaster registration district in Lancashire and became a barrister. He was a twin, his twin sister Ellen died on 6 January 1919. He was living at 3 Richmond Terrace Richmond from 1868 until his death, although his gravestone suggests he returned to Heysham. He was part owner of the Worsley Mesnes Colliery Company.

Tomlinson was elected as member of parliament for Preston in 1882, and held the seat until 1906. In the 1900 election he was challenged unsuccessfully by Keir Hardie. It was announced that he would receive a baronetcy in the 1902 Coronation Honours list published on 26 June 1902 for the (subsequently postponed) coronation of King Edward VII, and on 24 July 1902 he was created a Baronet, of Richmond terrace, Whitehall, in the city of Westminster, in the county of London. At the end of March, 1903, Tomlinson was appointed a deputy lieutenant of Lancashire.

Winston Churchill was challenged to fisticuffs when he referred to Tomlinson as "a miserable old man".

Tomlinson never married and on his death at the age of 74 the baronetcy became extinct.

"Walla Zaman Ya Selahy" () was the national anthem of the United Arab Republic (UAR), a federation of Egypt and Syria, from 1960. Though the UAR disbanded in 1961, Egypt retained it as the official name of the state until 1971, and used its national anthem until 1979.

History

Prior to being adopted as the UAR's national anthem, it was used as a nationalist song performed by Umm Kulthum during the Suez Crisis in 1956, known in Egypt and the Arab world as the Tripartite Aggression, when Egypt was invaded by the United Kingdom, France, and Israel. Due to its strongly nationalist lyrics evoking national resistance, the song was played frequently on Egyptian radio during the war, sometimes as often as every 10 minutes.

The popularity of the song led to it being adopted as the national anthem of the UAR two years after the establishment of the union. It replaced the former official royal anthem of Egypt "Salam Affandina"(Salute of our lord, سلام افندينا, composed by Giuseppe Pugioli) and the unofficial anthem "Nashid al-Huriyya" (The Anthem of Freedom, نشيد الحرية, composed and sung by Mohammed Abdel Wahab), which were adopted following the Egyptian revolution of 1952 and the abolition of the monarchy, as well as the former national anthem of Syria.

The lyrics were written by Salah Jahin, with music by Kamal Al Taweel. It was also used, without words, by Iraq from 1965 to 1981.

It was eventually replaced in 1979 for the peace negotiations with Israel by President Anwar Sadat as Egypt's national anthem by the less militant "Bilady, Bilady, Bilady", which continues to be Egypt's national anthem today.

The Miracle is a 1991 drama film written and directed by Neil Jordan. It stars Beverly D'Angelo, Donal McCann, and Niall Byrne. It was entered into the 41st Berlin International Film Festival.

Plot
Two teenage friends, Jimmy (Niall Byrne) and Rose (Lorraine Pilkington) live in the small seaside town of Bray, Ireland.  They spend their days wandering the streets and piers. To kill time, Rose and Jimmy make up stories about strangers on the street. One day, while watching people at the train station, a stylish older woman, Renee Baker (Beverly D'Angelo), stands out so imposingly from the dull townsfolk that Jimmy and Rose decide to follow her, infatuated with knowing everything about her. They pursue her to the beach and at last Renee speaks to them. When she looks at Jimmy, he's at once infatuated with this mystifying woman. Rose, who has feelings for Jimmy herself, decides to make him jealous by sleeping with a young lion tamer from a travelling circus (although she claims her real motivation was to set the animals free). Renee is eventually revealed to be Jimmy's mother, whom his father, Sam, had claimed was dead.

The Mum-Minder is a children's novel written by Jacqueline Wilson. It was first published in 1993.

Plot summary
It starts off with Sadie's mum catching the flu during half term. Sadie has a little sister called Sara, as well as the children that her mum looks after, called Gemma, Vincent and little baby Clive.

Sadie's mum is a childminder. Each day, they come round to Sadie's house so that her Mum can look after them while they are at work. Two days into half term, Sadie's mum gets the flu. To give Sadie's mother a chance to recuperate, the other children's mothers come up with a solution to take Sadie and the other kids to their workplaces for the rest of the week: Wednesday is the police station (Gemma's mum's job), Thursday is the office (Vincent's parents' job) and Friday is the chocolate shop (Clive's mum's job). Unfortunately, Sadie catches her mum's flu, so she can't return the holiday diary she was sent to do as homework from school...

Characters
 Sadie: The protagonist in the story, who is eight (nearly nine) years old. For the half term homework she is set to do a diary of what she did for the week; accordingly, the chapters of the book are named with the days of the week and filled in with the day's events. Sadie helps her mum (and ultimately the other parents) to look after the children in the course of the week.
 Sara: Sadie's younger sister, who is thought to be at least a year old. Her favourite book to be read is thought to be Dominic the Vole.
 Gemma: One of Sadie's mum's charges, who is three years old. Gemma's mother is a police officer and on Wednesday the children spend the day at the police station.
 Vincent: The second of Sadie's mum's charges, who is two years old. Vincent's parents are office workers and on Thursday the children spend the day at their office.
 Clive: The third of Sadie's mum's charges, who is under a year old. Clive's mum owns a chocolate shop and on Friday the children spend the day in the shop.
 Sadie's mum: The mother of the protagonist and her younger sister, who works as a childminder. She is thought to be separated or divorced, as Sadie mentions she and Sara don't see much of their dad.
 Gemma's mum/WPC Parsons: The mother of the eldest charge, who works as a police officer (WPC Parsons being her work name). Her surname came to be mentioned after she took the children to the police station for the day and this didn't go down well at all with her boss.
 Vincent's mum and dad: The parents of the middle charge, who work in an office.
 Clive's mum: The mother of the youngest charge, who runs a chocolate shop.

The Cumberland Covered Bridge, also known as the Matthews Covered Bridge, is a historic covered bridge spanning the Mississinewa River at Jefferson Township and Matthews, Grant County, Indiana. It was originally called the New Cumberland Covered Bridge, it was built in 1877 by William Parks of Marion, Indiana.  This Howe Truss bridge is  long.  It is the only remaining covered bridge in Grant County.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Floods
The bridge was floated  downstream during the 1913 flood.  It was returned upstream on rollers dragged by horses.  The foundations were raised an additional  at that time.  The 1958 flood only loosened a few boards.

The major body of water flowing through the borough is the Lackawanna River, part of the Upper Susquehanna-Lackawanna Watershed. Acid mine drainage into the Lackawanna River from a borehole in Old Forge is the largest point source of pollution in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

History

The history of Old Forge can be traced back to 1789 and Dr. William Smith, who was an army surgeon in the American Revolutionary War. During the 1820s, Charles Drake operated the only stagecoach inn between Wilkes-Barre and Carbondale. Drake's son, Ebenezer, secured a post office for Old Forge in 1848, where he served as postmaster until 1885. On May 26, 1871, Old Forge Township was designated, as it previously had been part of Lackawanna Township. Old Forge Borough was incorporated on May 2, 1899.

Coal mining era
During the early part of the twentieth century, the borough's main industry was anthracite coal mining along with a minor silk throwing industry. During the 1920s, the Dutchess Underwear Company came to Old Forge where many residents worked until the 1950s, when the company relocated to Georgia. It was during this time that the borough's population reached an all-time high of over 14,000 residents. As a result of a major coal mining strike, many people left Old Forge and the population dropped to 12,661 according to the 1930 census.

The 1930s brought a new industry to the borough in that of textiles. This was an important addition to the industry of Old Forge during World War II. By the 1950s, the Maxson Corporation began operating its electronics factory, at one point employing as many as 1,000. The Knox Mine Disaster on January 22, 1959 virtually put an end to all anthracite coal mining in the area.

Pizza

Immigrants from Italy arrived in the early 1900s to work in the coal mines. Bob Mulkerin, the mayor of the town, explained that the immigration mostly came from Felitto, a mountain town in the Cilento National Park near Salerno.  The Italian immigrants were treated poorly and often the subject of discrimination during this time period. Italian miners could take the pizza down into the mines for lunch and enjoy it cold.  Old Forge style pizza was made popular by Nonna Ghigiarelli, who made it for regulars of her and her husband’s bar back in 1926.  The 1960s saw the Butler Silk Mill and the Maxson Corp. close. The Gabriel Sporting Goods Company moved into a portion of the Maxson plant. Brooks Manufacturing was the major employer in town during this time. By the 1970s, though, Brooks was undergoing a major reduction in workforce and eventually closed in the 1980s to be replaced by its current tenant, King Coil Mattress Co.

The 1960s and 1970s saw the growth of what has become the borough's trademark, the pizza business. The origins of selling pizza are believed to be rooted within the Ghigiarelli family, when Mrs. Ghigiarelli used to serve her homemade pizza to coal miners who gathered to play cards. This led to what is known as "Old Forge Pizza."  This pizza is typically rectangular in shape with a balanced sauce, and topped with a blend of cheeses – usually mozzarella and white American or mozzarella and mild cheddar – on a crispy thick crust. Old Forge style pizza is served at many restaurants in Northeastern Pennsylvania and as far away as Michigan, Florida, and Colorado.

Government
Old Forge consists of a burgess (mayor) and a seven-seat council government, established in 1899. The first election was held on May 13, 1899. In 1901, a petition was filed to divide the borough into wards, and in 1903 six election wards were established. In 1927, the Sixth Ward was divided into three districts. The term "burgess" was used until 1961, when office became known as "mayor". Here is a history of the Burgesses/Mayors in Old Forge:

Neighborhoods

There are many sections of Old Forge named in the early years of the borough, which still are referenced today.

Schools

The Old Forge School District is a diminutive, suburban, public school district serving the municipality of Old Forge, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Scranton in Lackawanna County. The District is one of the 500 public school districts of Pennsylvania. The District encompasses . According to 2000 federal census data, it served a resident population of 8,798. By 2010, the District's population declined to 8,310 people. The educational attainment levels for the Old Forge School District population (25 years old and over) were 89.4% high school graduates and 22.6% college graduates.

Sports

The Old Forge Blue Devils have a long, rich history in the area of sports. During the 1950s and 1960s, Old Forge dominated the area in football and basketball, winning several league championships and conference titles. During the 1950s, Old Forge compiled the highest winning percentage for football in the entire state. The school has been to a state championship game five times and has won twice. In 1932 Old Forge beat St. Vincent High from Erie 24-19 for the state basketball championship. At the time, schools were not divided by class, thus there was only one state champion in the whole state. Sixty years later in 1992, Old Forge won the Class ""AA" state championship in baseball by beating Ridgway 15-5. In 2009, the girls' high school softball team lost 1–0 in the state championship. In the 2013–2014 school year, the Old Forge football team and the girls' basketball team both reached the state finals.

Old Forge has had a long-standing rival with neighboring town Taylor that goes back to 1939 when Old Forge beat the Taylor Trojans 2-0 in the first meeting of the two teams on the football field. Thus began the "Old Forge-Taylor Football Rivalry". This rivalry turned into the "Old Forge – Riverside Rivalry" when Taylor and Moosic combined. A tradition began in 1940 of the two teams meeting on Thanksgiving Day. This continued until 1974. The rivalry was on hiatus from 1989 until 2000, when the two teams met, renewing the heated rivalry between the two neighboring towns.

Andrew John Poole (born 6 July 1960) is an English former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He spent four years at Northampton Town between 1978 and 1982 before entering the non-League scene after unsuccessful spells with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Port Vale.

Career
Poole played for Mansfield Town, before signing with Northampton Town in 1978. Under Mike Keen's stewardship, the "Cobblers" finished 19th in the Fourth Division in 1978–79, two places and two points above the re-election zone. They rose to 13th in 1979–80 under new boss Clive Walker, and Poole was voted as the club's Player of the Year. However, after Bill Dodgin took over at the County Ground, Northampton finished 10th in 1980–81, before dropping to third-from-bottom of the English Football League in 1981–82, and having to seek re-election. Poole started the 1982–83 season with Wolverhampton Wanderers, before he joined Port Vale in March 1983. His debut came in a 1–1 draw with local rivals Crewe Alexandra at Vale Park on 5 March, but after just one more match he had his contract cancelled that same month. Both Wolves and the "Valiants" went on to win promotion out of the Second Division and Fourth Division respectively in 1982–83. He moved on to Gillingham, Nuneaton Borough, Coventry Sporting, Worcester City, Buckingham Town, Kettering Town and finally Brackley Town; where he served as player-manager.

Molly E. Molloy (Massachusetts, April 4, 1940 – New York, June 15, 2016) was an American dancer, choreographer and teacher who worked internationally. She was based in Paris, New York and London and was the originator of the Molloy Technique of Jazz Dance, a form of Modern American Jazz which she notably taught to choreographer Arlene Phillips and her troupe Hot Gossip.

Early life

Family tree
Molloy was a fourth-generation dancer, but the first woman. Her great-grandfather was a dancer of Irish dancing as well as tap. Her grandfather was part of a dance team who did Irish dancing, tap and clog. Molloy's grandparents and all of their brothers and sisters all played musical instruments, and most of them danced. Her father (one of six children) along with his twin brother was a member of the "Molloy Twins" or "Molloy Boys," and worked in vaudeville and variety theater.

Childhood
When Molloy was five, the family moved to New York. Against her mother's wishes, her father and uncle took her all over New York to their agents. But at her mother's insistence, Molloy trained in New York at the Metropolitan Opera Ballet School on full scholarship and was a protégée of Antony Tudor at eight years old. She went on to study at the High School of Performing Arts and by the age of 14, was dancing professionally.

Choreography/Direction

Theatre
When it came to theatre, from 14 May 1986 to 8 April 1989, Molloy was the Choreographer for Chess, the musical by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Tim Rice at the Prince Edward Theatre in London.

Photocatalytic water splitting is a process that uses photocatalysis for the dissociation of water (H2O) into hydrogen () and oxygen (). Only light energy (photons), water, and a catalyst(s) are needed, since this is what naturally occurs in natural photosynthetic oxygen production and CO2 fixation. Photocatalytic water splitting is done by dispersing photocatalyst particles in water or depositing them on a substrate, unlike Photoelectrochemical cell, which are assembled into a cell with a photoelectrode.

Hydrogen fuel production using water and light (photocatalytic water splitting), instead of petroleum, is an important renewable energy strategy.

Concepts

Two mole of  is split into 1 mole  and 2 mole  using light in the process shown below.

A photon with an energy greater than 1.23 eV is needed to generate an electron–hole pairs, which react with water on the surface of the photocatalyst. The photocatalyst must have a bandgap large enough to split water; in practice, losses from material internal resistance and the overpotential of the water splitting reaction increase the required bandgap energy to 1.6–2.4 eV to drive water splitting.

The process of water-splitting is a highly endothermic process (ΔH > 0). Water splitting occurs naturally in photosynthesis when the energy of four photons is absorbed and converted into chemical energy through a complex biochemical pathway (Dolai's or Kok's S-state diagrams).

O–H bond homolysis in water requires energy of 6.5 - 6.9 eV (UV photon). Infrared light has sufficient energy to mediate water splitting because it technically has enough energy for the net reaction. However, it does not have enough energy to mediate the elementary reactions leading to the various intermediates involved in water splitting (this is why there is still water on Earth). Nature overcomes this challenge by absorbing four visible photons. In the laboratory, this challenge is typically overcome by coupling the hydrogen production reaction with a sacrificial reductant other than water.

Materials used in photocatalytic water splitting fulfill the band requirements and typically have dopants and/or co-catalysts added to optimize their performance. A sample semiconductor with the proper band structure is titanium dioxide () and is typically used with a co-catalyst such as platinum (Pt) to increase the rate of  production. A major problem in photocatalytic water splitting is photocatalyst decomposition and corrosion.

Method of evaluation

Photocatalysts must conform to several key principles in order to be considered effective at water splitting. A key principle is that  and  evolution should occur in a stoichiometric 2:1 ratio; significant deviation could be due to a flaw in the experimental setup and/or a side reaction, neither of which indicate a reliable photocatalyst for water splitting. The prime measure of photocatalyst effectiveness is quantum yield (QY), which is:

 QY (%) = (Photochemical reaction rate) / (Photon absorption rate) × 100%

To assist in comparison, the rate of gas evolution can also be used. A photocatalyst that has a high quantum yield and gives a high rate of gas evolution is a better catalyst.

The other important factor for a photocatalyst is the range of light that is effective for operation. For example, a photocatalyst is more desirable to use visible photons than UV photons.

Photocatalysts
The solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency of photocatalytic water splitting, however, has remained very low. Here we have developed a strategy to achieve a high STH efficiency of 9.2 per cent using pure water, concentrated solar light and an indium gallium nitride photocatalyst. The success of this strategy originates from the synergistic effects of promoting forward hydrogen–oxygen evolution and inhibiting the reverse hydrogen–oxygen recombination by operating at an optimal reaction temperature (about 70 degrees Celsius), which can be directly achieved by harvesting the previously wasted infrared light in sunlight. Moreover, this temperature-dependent strategy also leads to an STH efficiency of about 7 per cent from widely available tap water and sea water and an STH efficiency of 6.2 per cent in a large-scale photocatalytic water-splitting system with a natural solar light capacity of 257 watts. Our study offers a practical approach to produce hydrogen fuel efficiently from natural solar light and water, overcoming the efficiency bottleneck of solar hydrogen production.

:La
:La yielded the highest water splitting rate of photocatalysts without using sacrificial reagents.  This ultraviolet-based photocatalyst was reported to show water splitting rates of 9.7 mmol/h and a quantum yield of 56%. The nanostep structure of the material promotes water splitting as edges functioned as  production sites and the grooves functioned as  production sites. Addition of NiO particles as co-catalysts assisted in  production; this step used an impregnation method with an aqueous solution of •6 and evaporated the solution in the presence of the photocatalyst.  has a conduction band higher than that of NiO, so photo-generated electrons are more easily transferred to the conduction band of NiO for  evolution.

is another catalyst solely activated by UV and above light. It does not have the performance or quantum yield of :La. However, it can split water without the assistance of co-catalysts and gives a quantum yield of 6.5%, along with a water splitting rate of 1.21 mmol/h. This ability is due to the pillared structure of the photocatalyst, which involves  pillars connected by  triangle units. Loading with NiO did not assist the photocatalyst due to the highly active  evolution sites.

()()
()() had the highest quantum yield in visible light for visible light-based photocatalysts that do not utilize sacrificial reagents as of October 2008.  The photocatalyst featured a quantum yield of 5.9% and a water splitting rate of 0.4 mmol/h. Tuning the catalyst was done by increasing calcination temperatures for the final step in synthesizing the catalyst. Temperatures up to 600 °C helped to reduce the number of defects, while temperatures above 700 °C destroyed the local structure around zinc atoms and were thus undesirable. The treatment ultimately reduced the amount of surface Zn and O defects, which normally function as recombination sites, thus limiting photocatalytic activity. The catalyst was then loaded with  at a rate of 2.5 wt% Rh and 2 wt% Cr for better performance.

Molecular catalysts
Proton reduction catalysts based on earth-abundant elements carry out one side of the water-splitting half-reaction.

A mole of octahedral nickel(II) complex, [Ni(bztpen)]2+ (bztpen = N-benzyl-N,N’,N’-tris(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)ethylenediamine) produced 308,000 moles of hydrogen over 60 hours of electrolysis with an applied potential of -1.25 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode.

Cobalt-based photocatalysts have been reported, including tris(bipyridine) cobalt(II), compounds of cobalt ligated to certain cyclic polyamines, and some cobaloximes.

In 2014 researchers announced an approach that connected a chromophore to part of a larger organic ring that surrounded a cobalt atom. The process is less efficient than a platinum catalyst although cobalt is less expensive, potentially reducing costs. The process uses one of two supramolecular assemblies based on Co(II)-templated coordination of  (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridyl) analogues as photosensitizers and electron donors to a cobaloxime macrocycle. The Co(II) centers of both assemblies are high spin, in contrast to most previously described cobaloximes. Transient absorption optical spectroscopies indicate that charge recombination occurs through multiple ligand states within the photosensitizer modules.

Bismuth vanadate
Bismuth vanadate is a visible-light-driven photocatalyst with a bandgap of 2.4 eV. BV have demonstrated efficiencies of 5.2% for flat thin films and 8.2% for core-shell WO3@BiVO4 nanorods with thin absorbers.

Bismuth oxides
Bismuth oxides are characterized by visible light absorption properties, just like vanadates.

Tungsten diselenide (WSe2)
Tungsten diselenide has photocatalytic properties that might be a key to more efficient electrolysis.

Porous organic polymers (POPs)

Organic semiconductor photocatalysts, in particular porous organic polymers (POPs), attracted attention due to their low cost, low toxicity, and tunable light absorption vs inorganic counterparts. They display hHigh porosity, low density, diverse composition, facile functionalization, high chemical/thermal stability, as well as high surface areas. Efficient conversion of hydrophobic polymers into hydrophilic polymer nano-dots (Pdots) increased polymer-water interfacial contact, which significantly improved performance.

Indium gallium nitride
An Indium gallium nitride (InxGa1-xN) photocatalyst achieved a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 9.2% from pure water and concentrated sunlight. The effiency is due to the synergistic effects of promoting hydrogen–oxygen evolution and inhibiting recombination by operating at an optimal reaction temperature (~70 degrees C), powered by harvesting previously wasted infrared light. An STH efficiency of about 7% was realized from tap water and seawater and efficiency of 6.2% in a larger-scale system with a solar light capacity of 257 watts.

Sacrificial reagents

Solid solutions   with different Zn concentration (0.2 < x < 0.35) have been investigated in the production of hydrogen from aqueous solutions containing  as sacrificial reagents under visible light. Textural, structural and surface catalyst properties were determined by  adsorption isotherms, UV–vis spectroscopy, SEM and XRD and related to the activity results in hydrogen production from water splitting under visible light. It was reported that the crystallinity and energy band structure of the   solid solutions depend on their Zn atomic concentration. The hydrogen production rate increased gradually as Zn concentration on photocatalysts increased from 0.2 to 0.3. The subsequent increase in the Zn fraction up to 0.35 reduced production. Variation in photoactivity was analyzed for changes in crystallinity, level of the conduction band and light absorption ability of   solid solutions derived from their Zn atomic concentration.

South East Bight (SEB) or Southeast Bight is a local service district and designated place in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is on the western shore of Placentia Bay on the Burin Peninsula. The community is not connected by road and is only accessible by ferry from Petite Forte. Many people from the community travel to Monkstown in the winter by snowmobile, but is very uncommon to try to get there in the summer, because of marsh, bogs, ponds and hills. To get to South East Bight one must travel towards Marystown on the Burin Peninsula, turn off the highway at Boat Harbour, travel to Petite Forte and then take a half-hour ferry ride to South East Bight.

While there are a few vehicles on South East Bight, ATVs are the main form of transportation.

History

South East Bight was originally settled by the Handlins in 1835.  By 1836 the population had risen to about 30 people, all of Roman Catholic religion.  A census taken in 1871 showed that the main families were Dunphy, Hayne, Hefferon, Hunt, Pitman, Reddy, Ward, and Wight.

The community name came from the direction one takes to reach the community, and bight refers to a wide inlet in the coast. The first settlers of South East Bight came in the early 1850s from England and Ireland. These settlers were people involved in the fishery. In the late 19th century South East Bight was a very busy place, with a commercial farm, a slate quarry and a couple of lobster factories. Fishing was the main occupation and remains so today. In the 19th century the population was about 30 families and by the 1930s it dropped to about five families then grew to about 30 families again in the 1950s. When resettlement occurred in the 1960s many people left the community but nine families came in from surrounding places like Darby's Harbour, Clattice Harbour, and Channels Harbour. Many of these families still live in the community and return to these resettled communities to visit their cabins. The community is fully Roman Catholic religion and every family is supported by the fishery. Family names that remain today are Lake, Ward, Whyte, Hefferan, Jones, Murphy, Brewer and Hepditch.

South East Bight once had a small slate mine operating but the venture was not feasible and was quickly closed down. Years ago the men traveled to the lumber woods and to mines in places like St. Lawrence, to work in the fall to get extra money to supplement the fishing income.

Hurricane Larry made landfall near South East Bight late in the evening of September 10, 2021.

Geography
Southeast Bight is in Newfoundland within Subdivision C of Division No. 2.

Demographics
As a designated place in the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Southeast Bight recorded a population of 169 living in 81 of its 157 total private dwellings, a change of  from its 2016 population of 92. With a land area of , it had a population density of  in 2016.

Government
Southeast Bight is a local service district (LSD) that is governed by a committee responsible for the provision of certain services to the community. The chair of the LSD committee is Kevin Whyte.

Tae-hong Choi (May 28, 1935 – March 8, 2009) was a grandmaster in taekwondo, winner of multiple martial arts titles and a teacher of thousands of students in Oregon.

Childhood studies
When Choi was a boy in Seoul, he had a paper route.  When he first approached the martial artists he met on his route, they sent him away.  After seven days of his pestering, the men seemed to relent, but they put him to work instead of teaching him. Choi worked for them for three weeks before they were sufficiently impressed to begin teaching him. He earned his black belt in two years. He soon began winning titles including Korean National Champion.  Eventually he earned a ninth-degree black belt, the sport's highest designation.  He also studied for a master's degree in Health and physical education.

Military service
Choi was a Korean Marine Corp Training officer stationed in South Vietnam.  He was part of the detail that guarded the U.S. Embassy.  He taught hand-to-hand combat skills to Korean, South Vietnamese and U.S. Special Forces. That got him his next job of instructing hand-to-hand combat for top-level U.S. security agents.

Emigration
Choi moved to Washington, D.C., in 1971. He taught taekwondo to secret service agents and CIA operatives.  His family did not move with him to Washington, D.C., but they emigrated to Oregon where a distant cousin lived.  In 1972, Choi joined his family in Oregon and started teaching tae kwon do at the YMCA, Lewis and Clark College and Reed College (Judo - '74-'75), and Sunset High School before opening his own studio in Northeast Portland.  Choi's Taekwondo Academy was the second taekwondo school in Oregon.   The first Portland school was formed by in 1958 Korean Moon Yo Woo (the Yan Moo Kwan of KongSu—-then the name for taekwondo) whose first blackbelt was Bruce Terrill, who taught KongSu in Portland until approximately 1968.
"Mr. Choi was one of the pioneers for tae kwon do in this country.  When the word 'tae kwon do' didn't even exist in this country, he was already teaching." -- Joon Pyo Choi, co-chairman of USA Taekwondo's martial arts commission.  Choi eventually opened two more schools for students in Beaverton and North Portland. His son, Sung Choi did take over the studios after his death with the help of Hung Choi. Later, Sung Choi started teaching at the "New York Athletic Club' location in NYC.

National leadership
Choi founded the Oregon State Taekwondo Association and the Northwest Black Belt Association and was its president for 30 years. In 1980, Choi served as head of team at the first Pan American Taekwondo Championships.  In 1982, When the Amateur Athletic Union was the governing body for Taekwondo in the USA, Choi was elected vice president.  He also served as a vice president in the United States TaeKwonDo Union.    He has served as tournament director of the Northwest Oregon Taekwondo Championships and the 17th U.S. National Taekwondo Championships.  In 1988, Choi traveled to Seoul with one of his students who competed in the 1988 Olympic Games.  In the 1990s, he served as advisor to the United States Taekwondo Union.  In 2007, Choi received the lifetime achievement award from the United States Taekwondo Grandmasters Society. Some of his notable students are Master Leon Preston (8th Dan and 2008 Summer Olympics Tae Kwon Do Referee), Gordon Graaff, Grandmaster Scott Rohr (1979 and 1980 World Championship Medalist) and Naim Hassan (1988 Olympics Taekwondo demonstration “exhibition” sport athlete.)

Death and burial
Choi died at Providence Portland Medical Center in Portland, Oregon on March 8, 2009. Services were held March 12 in the Korean Mission Church (Portland). He was buried at Skyline Memorial Gardens (Portland),  He was survived by his wife, two daughters, two sons and five grandchildren. Wife, Man Soon Choi. Daughters, Ilsun Kim, Min Sun Kim.

Susan Smalley is an American behavioral geneticist, writer and activist. The co-author of Fully Present: The Science, Art, and Practice of Mindfulness, she is the founder of the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center at the Jane and Terry Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior (MARC), and professor emerita in the department of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at UCLA. Her research centers on the genetic basis of childhood-onset behavior disorders, such as ADHD, and the cognitive and emotional impact of mindfulness meditation on health and wellbeing. She has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers and lectured globally on the genetics of human behavior and the science of mindfulness.

Career

PTK Capital, Roswell, Cell-Ed
Smalley is the co-founder of PTK Capital, an investment fund that invests in early stage companies and venture capital funds. The firm's investment activities focus on transformative companies in the areas of Entertainment, Food and Wellness. PTK Capital supports "people and ideas with the potential to significantly benefit the human condition."

Smalley is on the board of directors for Roswell Biotechnologies, a molecular electronics company that developed a molecular electronics chip to read DNA and a novel system approach to reduce whole genome sequencing, each to provide precision medical treatment. In 2010, she co-founded Cell-Ed, a platform to bring basic literacy to adults in underserved populations using mobile phones.

Smalley is also on the scientific advisory board for Stop Breathe and Think, an app for emotional well-being; and the board of directors for Equality Now, an international human rights organization focused on women and girls; and was honored by Equality Now in December 2019.

UCLA, ADHD and behavior genetics
Smalley joined the faculty at UCLA after she completed post-doctoral fellowships in medical genetics and childhood psychopathology, moving from assistant to full professor until her retirement to emeritus in 2011.

In 1988 she published a review paper on the genetics of autism in JAMA Psychiatry. Following its publication, she received a National Institute of Health (NIH) grant to investigate genetic determinants in autism, and pioneered an approach to behavioral genetics by studying known genetic disorders with behavioral sequelae, specifically, the study of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a genetic disorder in which autistic disorder occurs at higher rates than the general population. She continued to research autism for the following ten years, producing numerous papers on the genetics and subclinical variants of autism beyond the diagnostic classification as well as genetic and behavioral studies of TSC.

Smalley's focus subsequently shifted to ADHD. Her lab produced more than 40 publications on the disorder, including the first genome-wide scan (in conjunction with investigators at Oxford University), candidate gene investigations, and a series of papers on ADHD among a northern Finnish birth cohort. She wrote extensively on the strengths of those with ADHD, characterizing it as a different way of thinking rather than a deficit.

Mindful awareness
Smalley was diagnosed with an early stage melanoma in 2002. She took a leave of absence to explore non-western wellness practices, and in addition to significant lifestyle changes, she developed a meditation practice. When she returned to UCLA, she began researching mindfulness meditation and its impact on ADHD and other disorders. She subsequently led seminal studies that demonstrated the relationship between mindfulness and common personality traits of those with ADHD, mindfulness as an intervention in ADHD, and school-based approaches to bringing mindfulness to children.

Smalley founded the Mindful Awareness Research Center at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior (MARC) to bring meditation practices to the general public through research and education. In an article for the Huffington Post, she wrote: "As a scientist, I love the challenge of understanding my mind, from the inside, while learning what science tells us from the outside. The merging of these two approaches will yield knowledge far greater than either can alone."

In 2010, Smalley and Diana Winston, a former Buddhist nun and the director of education at MARC, wrote Fully Present: The Science, Art, and Practice of Mindfulness. It explores the science of meditation and provides guidance to develop a mindfulness practice.

Smalley also writes regularly for the Huffington Post and Psychology Today. She was the keynote speaker at the UCLA Department of Anthropology commencement ceremony in 2013, and the 2017 Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) annual conference.

Education
Smalley majored in biological anthropology at the University of Michigan, and as an undergraduate became interested in population genetics and human evolution. She received a BA in anthropology in 1976, and in 1981 earned an MA in anthropology from UCLA. She was awarded a Ph.D. in anthropology with specialization in population genetics from UCLA in 1985. Her dissertation examined the genetics of spatial ability.

Personal life
Smalley is married to Kevin Wall, an entrepreneur, activist, and investor. They have three children.

William John Jervis (born 22 January 1942) is an English former professional footballer. He made only one appearance in The Football League, in a match which was abandoned early and represents one of the few uncompleted Football League matches for which the result was allowed to stand.

Career
Born in Liverpool, Jervis began his career as a youth team player with Blackburn Rovers. He played as a striker, although he was only 5' 6" tall and slightly-built. In the 1958–59 season he played in the Rovers team which defeated West Ham United in the final of the FA Youth Cup.  He turned professional with Rovers in 1959, but failed to break into the club's first team.  In the summer of 1961 he left the club and joined Gillingham of the Football League Fourth Division.

Jervis was selected to make his debut for Gillingham in a match away to Barrow on 9 October 1961.  The Gillingham players, travelling by train to the match, missed their connection in London and were forced to charter an aeroplane to fly to Blackpool, followed by a fleet of taxis to travel the remainder of the way to Barrow-in-Furness.  The players did not arrive at the Holker Street stadium until after the scheduled start time of the match.  The match eventually got underway, but the light soon began to fade, a significant problem as the stadium did not have floodlights at the time. After 76 minutes the referee decided that the light was too bad to continue and abandoned the match with Barrow winning 7–0.  Although the match had not been completed, the Football League's committee, rather than order the match to be replayed as is usually done in such cases, decided to allow the result to stand.

Jervis lost his place in the Gillingham team to Ronnie Waldock for the club's next match and was not selected for the first team again in the 1961–62 season. He left the club to join Stalybridge Celtic of the Cheshire County League in July 1962. The abandoned match at Barrow was thus the only Football League match in which he played.  It is unknown how long he remained at Stalybridge or if he went on to play for any other clubs.

Nava Lubelski (born 1968 in New York City) is a contemporary artist who works and lives in Asheville, North Carolina.

Background and education
Lubelski was born in 1968 and grew up in the SoHo section of New York City. She graduated from Hunter College High School in 1986 and earned a BA in Russian literature and history from Wesleyan University in 1990.  She spent a year abroad as a student in Moscow, Russia.

Lubelski wrote The Starving Artist's Way and is a 2008 grantee of The Pollock Krasner Foundation.

Artistic career

Lubelski is a contemporary artist who works with fibers, paper sculptures, and various 3D stitched pieces. Her work engages a variety of materials and techniques, focusing on hybridizing notions of masculine/feminine, art/craft, painting/sculpture.

Lubelski often works with hand stitching over stains on fabric. She stitches on the edges of the stain thus "repairing" them aesthetically. Her inspiration for this first came at an art foundation benefit when a glass of red wine was spilled on a tablecloth. Lubelski saved the tablecloth and commemorated the event by stitching with red around the stain, titling it Clumsy, taking the embarrassment and spill and making a painterly gesture out of them.

Lubelski's work contrasts the accidental with the meticulous, using the stain as a 'pattern' from which she creates her abstract forms. Lubelski is currently most well known for her embroidery works on canvas which explore "the contradictions between the impulse to destroy and the compulsion to mend." Linens are stained and ripped, creating the initial marks that Lubelski meticulously embroiders over. The artist uses the graphic look of the stain as a play on creating and mending female sexuality and as an expression of aggression. According to the artist there is a social symbolism in the stain, something shameful or worthy of reproach, that the woman historically cleans up, hides or discards. These works often have holes that expose the back of the canvas, or are hung off the wall to add sculptural shadows. Lubelski engages contradictions of destruction and construction in her work through celebrating the emotions that engender a variety of human impulses, characteristics, and moral challenges.

Lubelski's stitched works are often considered painterly, and even abstract expressionist.

Examples of her stitched work were included in Pricked: Extreme Embroidery at The Museum of Arts & Design in New York and in the book Contemporary Textiles: The Fabric of Fine Art, published in 2008 by Black Dog Publishing in London.  Lubelski's 2009 solo show, Recombination, at the New York City gallery LMAKprojects was reviewed in The New York Times by Karen Rosenberg, who described Lubelski as being "in a category of artists who “paint” with thread."

Lubelski is also known for making shredded paper sculptures reminiscent of the cross-section of a tree. To create the tightly-wound coils that make up the "rings", recycled paper from written content (such as tax forms or deposit slips) were glued together. The cross-sections are an exercise of translating the data into a physical manifestation and as a tool, "for managing overwhelmingly large tallies, such as those we encounter regularly in reports on war or climate change."

Other sculptural works such as Gone (2011) or glove works like [a cast of my left hand in the shape of a] Glove v. 2 (2008) use thread as a three-dimensional form. The Glove series focuses on improvisational stitches and the contrast between the artist's gloves and hyper-realistic Victorian lace gloves.

"ReMade" Hatchfund project

In 2011 Lubelski created a Hatchfund project for ReMade:  a factory-manufactured limited edition of 50-100 embroidered “paintings”. Each piece was to be a digital tracing of a stained embroidered work then converted by software into a stitch file for manufacture by industrial sewing machines. The minimum fundraising goal was $2,500. The target was reached with $4,035 by April 6, 2011.

Additional Exhibits
Lubelski's work was included at the Center for Craft, Creativity & Design's Benchspace Gallery in 2015 as part of a commemoration of the Beacon Manufacturing Company. in 2020, Lubelski's work was included as part of "By a Thread" at the Tracey Morgan Gallery.

Galatea of the Spheres is a painting by Salvador Dalí made in 1952. It depicts Gala Dalí, Salvador Dalí's wife and muse, as pieced together through a series of spheres arranged in a continuous array. The name Galatea refers to a sea nymph of Classical mythology renowned for her virtue, and may also refer to the statue beloved by its creator, Pygmalion.

Description
Measuring 65.0 x 54.0 cm, the painting depicts the bust of Gala composed of a matrix of spheres seemingly suspended in space. It represents a synthesis of Renaissance art and atomic theory and illustrates the ultimate discontinuity of matter, the spheres themselves representing atomic particles.

Dalí's motivation
Dalí had been greatly interested in nuclear physics since the first atomic bomb explosions of August 1945, and described the atom as his "favourite food for thought". Recognising that matter was made up of atoms which did not touch each other, he sought to replicate this in his art at the time, with items suspended and not contacting each other, such as in The Madonna of Port Lligat. This painting was also symbolic of his attempt to reconcile his renewed faith in Catholicism with nuclear physics. His friend, painter Antoni Pitxot, recalled that Dalí held in high regard the depth of perspective in the painting and the spheres he had painted.

Dalí wished for this painting to be displayed on an easel, which had been owned by French painter Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier, in a suite of three rooms called the Palace of the Winds (named for the tramontana) in the Dalí Theatre and Museum in Figueres. It remains on display there. It was transported to and exhibited at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne in 2009, along with many other Dalí paintings in the Liquid Desire exhibition.

George Henry Shelton (June 16, 1871 – November 2, 1920) was an American brigadier general during World War I.

Early life and education
George Shelton was born on June 16, 1871, in Seymour, Connecticut.  He was educated in Seymour and obtained an appointment to the United States Military Academy from Representative Washington F. Willcox in 1890, after attaining the highest score on a competitive examination, but was unable to attend because he did not score well on the school's entrance exam.  He obtained another appointment in 1892, was admitted, and successfully completed the program of instruction.  Shelton graduated number 36 of 73 in the class of 1896 and his classmates included Fox Conner and Malin Craig.

Start of career
After graduating, Shelton was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the 11th Infantry Regiment.  he served with his regiment in the Southwestern United States and was promoted to first lieutenant in 1898. During the Spanish–American War, Shelton served with the 11th Infantry in Puerto Rico. In 1901, Shelton was promoted to captain in the 25th Infantry Regiment.  In 1902, he was reassigned to the 11th Infantry and he participated in combat during the Philippine–American War.

World War I

For several years beginning in 1908, Shelton served as a major on the staff of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, which was headed by Clarence Ransom Edwards.  When Edwards was appointed commander of the 26th Division after the American entry into World War I in April 1917, he selected Shelton as his chief of staff.  Shelton later commanded the 104th Infantry Regiment, which performed successfully in combat during the summer of 1918, and resulted in the government of France awarding the entire regiment the Croix de guerre.  On June 16, Shelton was wounded during fighting  near Royaumeix.  On June 26, 1918, he was promoted to brigadier general as commander of the division's 51st Brigade.  He later commanded the 26th Division's 52nd Brigade before being transferred back to command of the 51st.

Post-World War I
After the war, Shelton returned to his permanent rank of colonel.  He graduated from the United States Army Command and General Staff College in 1919 and was also a student at the United States Army War College.

Awards
He received the Army Distinguished Service Medal posthumously in recognition of his World War I service. The citation for the medal reads:

In addition, he was a recipient of the French Croix de guerre.

Death and burial
Shelton was attending the War College when he died of blood poisoning at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C., on November 2, 1920.  Shelton was buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Section 3, Site 1557-K.  In 1930, Congress passed legislation restoring World War I general officers to the highest rank they had held, and Shelton's rank was posthumously upgraded.

Family
Shelton was the son of Mary Lambert (Webster) Shelton and George P. Shelton, who served in the Connecticut legislature and was adjutant general of the state's National Guard.  In 1905, Shelton married Bernice Vivian Barrett (1876-1942).  They were the parents of a daughter, George Helen Hunt (1912-2000).

John Robert Boker Jr. (January 29, 1913 – April 12, 2003) was an American philatelist who amassed some of the most prestigious collections of 19th century stamps ever seen by stamp collectors. Before his death in 2003, the Collectors Club of New York declared him, in 1996, to be the "outstanding philatelist of the last half of the twentieth century."

Collecting interests
Boker was able to put together some of the finest collections of rare postage stamps ever seen in philately, with his German States collection probably being his finest. He was also an expert in early American postal history, and was responsible for rewriting large sections of the Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalog with regard to United States postmaster provisionals, locals and carriers.

John Boker also accumulated large collections of Australian States, State of Buenos Aires, Confederate States of America, Fernando Po, Ionian Islands, Réunion, Romania, Serbia, and the Spanish Philippines. His research of U.S. postal history allowed him to write extensive articles on the subject. He owned the only known surviving copy of the Buenos Aires 1859 1p "In Ps" tete-beche pair.

He was also interesting in precancels of United States stamps, and had almost a complete collection. Among other work he dedicated to the subject, he was editor of the Hoover Brothers Precancel Town List.

Philatelic activity
In addition to writing numerous articles on philatelic subjects, Boker remained very much involved in philatelic activities, such as at major philatelic exhibitions, where he served as judge. At the Collectors Club of New York he served as president and as governor. At the Philatelic Foundation he served as trustee and as chairman of the expert committee.

Honors and awards
Boker received numerous awards and honors. These included the Lichtenstein award in 1967, the Tilleard Medal in 1965, the Luff Award in 1978, the Lindenberg Medal in 1981, the Neinken medal in 1983, and the Robson Lowe memorial medal in 2000. He signed the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists in 1964, and received the Smithsonian Institution’s Philatelic Achievement award. He was named a Distinguished Philatelist by the United States Philatelic Classics Society in 2002, elevated to the American Philatelic Society Hall of Fame in 2004

Legacy
The sale of his German States stamp collection, from 1985 to 2000, was so extensive that it required eighteen auctions by Köhler to complete its sale. The illustrated auction catalogs of this sale represent a significant contribution to philatelic literature and philatelic knowledge.
