Oneida Corners is a hamlet within the town of Queensbury in Warren County in the U.S. state of New York.

Geography
Oneida Corners is situated at the intersection of New York State Route 9L (Ridge Road), extending west along County Route 54 (Sunnyside Road) and east along County Route 39 (Sunnyside Road East).

History
Around the time of the American Revolutionary War, the hamlet was a prominent settlement featuring two inns, three shops, a lumber business, mechanic shops, and a church. Court was held at least once weekly in the hamlet. Shortly before the war, an Oneida Indian by the name of Thomas Hammond ran a thriving business at the corner. His establishment being a frame of reference, the area came to be known as "the Oneidas" — and later as Oneida Corners — around 1800.

The Guatemalan beaded lizard (Heloderma charlesbogerti), also called commonly the Motagua Valley beaded lizard, is a highly endangered species of beaded lizard, a venomous lizard in the family Helodermatidae. The species is endemic to the dry forests of the Motagua Valley in southeastern Guatemala,  an ecoregion known as the Motagua Valley thornscrub. It is the only allopatric beaded lizard species, separated from the nearest population (H. alvarezi) by  of unsuitable habitat. The Guatemalan beaded lizard is the rarest and most endangered species of beaded lizard, and it is believed that fewer than 200 individuals of this animal exist in the wild, making it one of the most endangered lizards in the world. In 2007, it was transferred from Appendix II to Appendix I of CITES due to its critical conservation status.

Taxonomy
The Guatemalan beaded lizard belongs to the family Helodermatidae which forms part of a clade of reptiles with toxin secreting glands. This species differs from other Heloderma species in coloration and size, being the smallest one.  Home ranges and behavior of these lizards were investigated using radio-telemetry at the dry forests of Zacapa, Guatemala. The average home range for individuals was found to be 130 ha.

This species was first discovered in 1984 by an agricultural laborer named D. Vasquez in Guatemala's Motagua Valley.

Etymology
The generic name, Heloderma, means "studded skin", from the Ancient Greek words hêlos (ηλος), meaning "the head of a nail or stud", and derma (δερμα), meaning "skin".

The specific name, charlesbogerti, honors US herpetologist Charles Mitchill Bogert.

Diet
H. charlesbogerti dwells in arroyos characterized by high densities of bird nests of doves and parakeets, whose eggs form the primary component of its diet.  These birds nest closer to the ground in these arroyos in trees with branches thick enough to support the weight of this heavy-bodied lizard.  It is known to prey upon insects, such as beetles and crickets. The eggs of the Guatemalan Spiny-tailed Iguana (Ctenosaura palearis), an endangered species endemic to the same region, are an important food source for the Guatemalan beaded lizard, thereby possibly linking the status of the two.

James Patrick Brodrick SJ  (26 July 1891 in Kingsland, Athenry – 26 August 1973) was an Irish Jesuit and writer.

Brodrick was educated in Dublin and Stonyhurst. He joined the Jesuits in February 1910 at Manresa, London, and was ordained in 1923. Most of his working life was spent at Farm Street in London. He graduated MA from the University of London and was a contributor to periodicals such as The Tablet and The Month.

Brodrick published several books. Most of his career as a writer was almost exclusively dedicated to writing Jesuit History. His primary interest was the early history of the Society of Jesus. The first work to come from his pen was his two-volume biography of the Jesuit Cardinal Robert Bellarmine. In 1935 there followed his biography of St. Peter Canisius. Both works were considered major achievements and his success resides in that his work is not one of adulation and hero worship.

The San Diego Jaws were a professional soccer team based in San Diego, California, playing their home games at the Aztec Bowl on the campus of San Diego State University.  Founded in 1976, the team was a member of the North American Soccer League, and was the league's second attempt to place a franchise in San Diego with the Toros having folded in 1968 after two seasons. The franchise lasted only one season and relocated to Las Vegas for the 1977 NASL season.

History
Founded as the in 1973 as the Baltimore Comets the bankrupt franchise was sold after two unsuccessful seasons on the east coast and moved by new owner Ken Keegan to the San Diego.  It January 1976, it was announced the team had been renamed "Jaws".  The team hired English midfielder Derek Trevis who had won the NASL championship in 1973 as part of the Philadelphia Atoms to acts as player-manager of the new franchise.
Former Chapman College baseball coach Paul Deese, who claimed to have only seen two soccer games in his life, was hired as General Manager.  Even though the team still had five open roster spots, include two of three forwards, the Jaws faced their first opponent the Dallas Tornados in a preseason game on March 12, 1976, losing 2-0 in front of a mostly unpaid crowd of 6,754.  A week later, the team competed in the 1976 NASL Indoor tournament in Daly City, California, losing both games in which they participated. In another preseason game on March 24, 1976, this one held at Balboa Stadium, in front of 18,128 people in attendance the Jaws tied the New York Cosmos holding Pelé scoreless in the 1-1 draw.

San Diego began the outdoor season with a 1–0 win in overtime against the San Antonio Thunder with 5,200 fans in attendance.  Later that month, the team hosted the Mexican Olympic team at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, California losing 2-1 with Hugo Sánchez scoring both of Mexico's goals. It was reported that team owner Ken Keegan was seeking investors from the local community, with five limited partners added to the ownership group by mid July. The Jaws ended the season at home losing to the Minnesota Kicks 1-0 before 9,400 fans after two overtime periods. The Jaws finished the season with a record of 9 wins and 15 losses, last place in the Pacific Conference Southern Division.  For the season, the team averaged over 6,000 fans at each home game, but it was reported the average paid attendance was only about 2,500.  After weeks of speculation, on October 19, 1976, it was reported the team would be moving to Las Vegas.

After one season in Las Vegas, the franchise was sold and returned to San Diego as the San Diego Sockers.

Herbert James Leopold "Rigger" Coates (29 September 1901 – 25 October 1965) was an English amateur footballer who played as an inside forward for Southampton in the 1920s and 1930s.

Royal Navy
Coates was born in West Ham, Essex and joined the Royal Navy, where he served on the Royal Yacht "Victoria and Albert". He represented the Royal Navy at football at an amateur level, but in October 1927 he joined Southampton of the Football League Second Division.

Southampton
He made his Southampton debut away to Chelsea on 27 October 1928, replacing the ageing Charlie Petrie at inside-left. After six matches, in which he failed to score, he was replaced by Dick Rowley. His duties on the Royal Yacht tended to restrict his appearances, but by the end of the season he had made 14 appearances, scoring seven goals (including one in each of his last five appearances), as the Saints finished fourth in the table, their highest League finish to date.

In the following season, he was a regular starter until early March, with Peter Dougall generally filling in when Coates was not available; Coates made a total of 25 appearances during the season, with four goals. He played for the "Amateurs" in the 1929 FA Charity Shield. For the 1930–31 season, he was restricted to sixteen appearances, most of which came in a spell between late September and December in which he scored seven goals, including two in a 5–0 victory over Bury on 13 December.

Coates made a total of eight appearances for the England amateur international side, the last of which came against Scotland in 1931. He was described by one of his teammates as:"One of the finest inside lefts that ever wore an England Amateur jersey, and his clever dribbling, his brilliant anticipation and his terrific shots more than compensated for the fact that his play may have been a bit on the showy side."

For the 1931–32 season, Arthur Wilson had taken over from Dougall as the regular inside-left, but Coates did manage a run of seven games between September and November, plus three later appearances across the forward line. At the end of the season, both Dougall and Wilson had left the club and Coates hardly missed a match in 1932–33 (making 30 appearances) until April, when Tom Ruddy replaced him. In a league match at Bradford City on 15 October 1932, Coates had to deputise in goal for Bert Scriven when he was injured. The "Football Echo" reported that "Coates was tucking his jersey into his shorts when Bradford scored immediately following the restart and before the amateur was ready" – this was the only goal of the game.

After a further four appearances early in the 1933–34 season, Coates moved to Leyton and was an FA Amateur Cup finalist with them that season. Leyton were then a top amateur side, playing in the Athenian League.

Later career
Coates continued to play for the Royal Navy until 1937. After the Second World War, he settled in the Portsmouth area where he became the manager of a public house in 1945. He later worked for the Southern Electricity Board.

William Frederick Koch (1885–1967) was a U.S. medical doctor and pharmaceutical entrepreneur.  In the 1940s he marketed glyoxylide, a drug which he claimed would cure cancer. The claims were never scientifically proved, and he was considered a charlatan by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Biography
Koch was born in Detroit. He obtained a BA in Chemistry from the University of Michigan in 1909 and an MA in 1910.  In 1916 he obtained a PhD from the University of Michigan. There, Koch learned the principles of homeopathy from A. W. Dewey. In 1914 he was appointed Professor of Physiology at the Detroit College of Medicine and subsequently became Chairman of that department. He received an MD degree in 1918 from the Detroit College of Medicine.

Around 1919, Koch was advertising a product "synthetic anti-toxin" as a cancer cure. The product was dismissed by the American Medical Association and Wayne County Medical Society as a fraudulent cancer cure and is considered an example of quackery. In the 1920s, Koch falsely advertised his cancer cure product as being sponsored by the University of Michigan. The university dissociated itself from Koch's quackery.

In the early 1940s, Koch announced his discovery of glyoxylide, a miracle drug that would cure a long list of diseases, even when administered at one part per trillion dilution. He sold the drug through an entity called the Christian Medical Research League.  He  never revealed his process for the manufacture of glyoxylide, and there never was any evidence that glyoxylide in any amount had any therapeutic effect. Analysis showed it to be distilled water. Over 3,000 health practitioners in the U.S. paid $25 per ampoule for Koch's treatment and charged patients as much as $300 for a single injection.

The FDA sued Koch twice, in 1943 and 1946, but failed to get a conviction. After an inspection of his laboratories by the FDA, Koch announced his retirement, and moved to Brazil in 1950.  A product known as the Koch treatment continued to be sold in Mexico long after it disappeared in the United States. Biographer Jay Robert Nash has written that Koch was an "infamous quack throughout his entire career."

The Junin slender opossum (Marmosops juninensis) is a species of South American opossum in the family Didelphidae. It is known only from the valley of the Chanchamayu in Peru (a range that includes Junín Region) where it lives in Andean montane forests at elevations between 1460 and 2200 m. The species is threatened by destruction of its forest habitat as the area under cultivation in the region increases.

is a style of Japanese residential architecture used in the mansions of the military, temple guest halls, and Zen abbot's quarters of the Muromachi (1336－1573), Azuchi–Momoyama (1568–1600) and Edo periods (1600–1868). It forms the basis of today's traditional-style Japanese house. Characteristics of the  development were the incorporation of square posts and floors completely covered with tatami. The style takes its name from the , a term that originally meant a study and a place for lectures on the sūtra within a temple, but which later came to mean just a drawing room or study.

History

The foundations for the design of today's traditional Japanese residential houses with tatami floors were established in the late Muromachi period (approximately 1338 to 1573) and refined during the ensuing Momoyama period.  , a new architectural style influenced by Zen Buddhism, developed during that time from the  of the earlier Heian period's palaces and the subsequent residential style favored by the warrior class during the Kamakura period. The term , meaning study or drawing room has been used to denote reception rooms in residences of the military elite as well as study rooms at monasteries. A  has a core area surrounded by aisles, and smaller areas separated by fusuma sliding doors, or shōji partitions constructed of paper on a wooden frame or wooden equivalents,  and .

The main reception room is characterized by specific features: a recessed alcove (tokonoma); staggered shelves; built-in desks; and ornate sliding doors. Generally the reception room is covered with wall-to-wall tatami, has square beveled pillars, a coved or coffered ceiling, and . The entrance hall (genkan) emerged as an element of residential architecture during the Momoyama period. The oldest extant  style building is the Tōgu-dō at Ginkaku-ji dating from 1485. Other representative examples of early  style, also called shuden, include two guest halls at Mii-dera. In the early Edo period,  reached its peak and spread beyond the residences of the military elite.  The more formal shoin-style of this period is apparent in the  characteristics of Ninomaru Palace at Nijō Castle as well as the  at Nishi Hongan-ji (see photos above).

Conrad Totman argues that the development of the  style was linked to a lumber scarcity, caused by excessive deforestation, which prompted the use of lower-quality, more abundant material. As larger, straight-grained trees became less accessible, "elegant wooden flooring gave way to crude wooden under-flooring that was concealed beneath tatami." Likewise, sliding wooden doors were replaced with fusuma, a lightweight combination of "stiff fabric or cardboard-like material pasted onto a frame made of slender wooden sticks," and shōji sliding panels served as a substitute for more elaborate paneled wooden doors.

The simpler style used in the architecture of tea houses for the tea ceremony developed in parallel with .  In the 16th century Sen no Rikyū established dedicated  style teahouses characterized by their small size of typically two to eight mat, the use of natural materials, and rustic appearance. This teahouse style, exemplified by the Joan and Taian teahouses, was influenced by Japanese farmhouse style and the  style featuring tatami matted floors, recessed alcoves (tokonoma) and one or more ante chambers for preparations.

Sukiya-zukuri

By the beginning of the Edo period, the features of the  and the teahouse styles began to blend. The result was an informal version of the  style called . The  style has a characteristic decorative alcove and shelf, and utilizes woods such as cedar, pine, hemlock, bamboo, and cypress, often with rough surfaces including the bark.  Compared to the  style's, roof eaves in the sukiya style bend downward.  While the  style was suitable for ceremonial architecture, it became too imposing for residential buildings.  Consequently, the less formal sukiya style was used for the mansions of the aristocracy and samurai after the beginning of the Edo period.

() is a book written by Antonio de Nebrija and published in 1492. It was the first work dedicated to the Spanish language and its rules, and the first grammar of a modern European language to be published. When it was presented to Isabella of Castile at Salamanca in the year of its publication, the queen questioned what the merit of such a work might be; Fray Hernando de Talavera, bishop of Avila, answered for the author in prophetic words, as Nebrija himself recalls in a letter addressed to the monarch:
After Your Highness has subjected barbarous peoples and nations of varied tongues, with conquest will come the need for them to accept the laws that the conqueror imposes on the conquered, and among them our language; with this work of mine, they will be able to learn it, as we now learn Latin from the Latin Grammar.Quoted by Henry Kamen at the outset of Empire: how Spain became a world power, 1492–1763, 2002.

Contents
Nebrija divided his study of the language into four books:

 Orthography
 Prosody and syllables
 Etymology and diction
 Syntax

A fifth book was dedicated to the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language.

The book established ten parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, verbs, participles, prepositions, adverbs, interjections, conjunctions, gerunds and supines.

Impact
Works had previously been published on Latin usage, such as Lorenzo Valla's  (1471), but
 was the first book to focus on the study of the rules of a Western European language besides Latin. Following its publication, grammar came to be considered as the discipline concerned with the rules of language, until the advent of linguistics as a scientific discipline in the 19th century.

Other grammars of the Spanish language followed:

James Kwak (born 1969) is a Professor of Law at the University of Connecticut School of Law, best known as co-founder, with Simon Johnson, in September 2008, of the economics blog "The Baseline Scenario", a commentary on developments in the global economy, law, and public policy, mostly focused on the situation in the USA.  Kwak received his A.B. magna cum laude in 1990 from Harvard University and his Ph.D. on French intellectual history in 1997 from the University of California, Berkeley (1997). While he frequently writes about the subject, Kwak holds no degrees in economics. He justifies this by stating that economics education below the PhD level is misleading.

Kwak has worked as a consultant for McKinsey & Company and later was Director of Product Marketing at Ariba, where he led product strategy and marketing for the Platform Solutions division and the Ariba Network. He was a co-founder of Guidewire Software, an independent software vendor for the property and casualty insurance industry.

After receiving his JD from Yale in 2011 he joined the faculty of the University of Connecticut School of Law in August 2011.

He wrote the 2017 book Economism: Bad Economics and the Rise of Inequality (). He co-wrote, with Simon Johnson, the 2010 book 13 Bankers: The Wall Street Takeover and the Next Financial Meltdown () and the 2012 book White House Burning: The Founding Fathers, Our National Debt, and Why It Matters to You (). He is also an online columnist for The Atlantic.

George Nicolescu (; born 12 March 1950) is a blind Romanian musician.

Born in Ploieşti, Nicolescu has four sisters. He attended the Bucharest School for Amblyopia Patients (1957-1959), middle school and high school (1960-1968) and the School for the Blind in Cluj (1968–1972). Self-taught, he made his singing debut in Cluj and in 1970 won first prize at the Tinereţe pe portativ ("Youth on the Scale") festival. A few years later, the composer George Grigoriu began to influence him, and the two began collaborating. In 1973, his first hit, "Eternitate" ("Eternity"), was released, and the following year came four hits released on a 45, under Grigoriu's name.

In 1972 he gained admission to the University of Bucharest's Faculty of Romance Languages, French-Romanian section. He graduated in 1976 and the following April began teaching French at the School for the Blind in Buzău, where he remained until 1985. That year, he was hired as a vocal soloist at the Buzău Youth House. After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, he was engaged for several months (March–November 1990) as a soloist with the ensemble "Optimiştii", a troupe of blind performers.

He retired in 1992, taking part in various shows and singing in restaurants in order to earn a living. In autumn 2002, ten years after retiring, Nicolescu returned to the top of the Romanian charts through a duet with the band UNU'. The hit single was called "Cântec pentru sănătatea ierbii" ("Song for the Grass's Health"). He also performed "Îndrăgostit" ("In Love") with the young singer Jorge. In December 2007, he released the album Muzică uşoară...lăutărească ("Light Music, Lăutar-style"), featuring songs by other musicians of his age such as Dan Spătaru, Mirabela Dauer, Gabriel Dorobanţu and Corina Chiriac.

Otoyol 30 (), also known as the Izmir Beltway () and abbreviated as the O-30, is a  long motorway that runs around the Gulf of Izmir from Balçova to Menemen. The motorway acts as a bypass for through-traffic around the city and connects to four other motorways; O-5, O-31, O-32 and O-33. For most of its route, the O-30 runs along the perimeter of Izmir, but enters urbanized areas in Balçova, Bornova, Karşıyaka and Çiğli. The entire motorway has six lanes (three in each direction) and is a part of the E87 and E881.

The first section of the O-30 opened to traffic in 1993 with the most recent section opened in 2008.

History

Construction of the O-30 was started in 1988 in order to relive traffic on the congested D-550, which was the only direct north–south road at the time. Along with relieving inner-city congestion, the O-30 was planned to be a connecting hub for two other motorways under construction at the time. The first section of the motorway was opened to traffic on 12 December 1993, between Karabağlar and Işıkkent. This  long section provided an alternate route around the city from Gaziemir (south Izmir) to Bornova (east Izmir) as well as connecting to the O-31, which opened its first section on the same day. Construction of the O-30 slowed down over the next years, due to financial difficulties. Construction of the southern half of the O-30 progressed faster than construction of the northern half. On 10 July 1997, the O-30 was connected to the D-300, which was the main east–west trunk road and on 15 August 1998, the  long section between Karabağlar and Uzundere was opened to traffic. In 1999, connection to the Izmir Bus Terminal was opened on the 10 April, followed by the  long section between Uzundere and Balçova, which was opened on 30 April. The motorway was finally connected to the O-32 on 6 August 2002, via a  viaduct through Balçova, thus completing the southern half of the O-30. Due to the slow progression of its northern half, the O-30 was nicknamed the motorway that will never open () and residents of Izmir started to protest the delay. Construction was sped up in 2006 and in January 2007 the  section between Bornova and Karşıyaka along with two tunnels was opened. Construction progressed at a steady pace over the next years as the O-30 was extended from Karşıyaka to Çiğli on 15 June 2008.

History
The 36th Infantry was formed on 1 July 1916 at Brownsville, Texas from elements of the 4th Infantry, 26th Infantry and 28th Infantry. It was assigned to the 12th Division on 5 July 1918, relieved from the 12th Division 31 January 1919, and inactivated at Fort Jay New York on 13 October 1921.

The 36th was reassigned to the Ninth Infantry Division on 24 March 1923 and relieved from the Ninth Infantry Division on 1 August 1940. It was redesignated the 36th Infantry (Armored) on 15 April 1941 and reassigned to the Third Armored Division. On 1 July 1942 it was redesignated the 36th Armored Infantry Regiment. The regiment's first commander was Walton Walker.

The 1st Battalion, 36th Infantry Regiment (Spartans), was reactivated at Ray Barracks, Germany, in 1996, having been reflagged from 3-5 CAV, which was stationed at nearby Kirchgöns. The battalion was assigned to the 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division (Ready First Combat Team). The battalion participated in an 11 month rotation in Bosnia Implementation Force (IFOR), followed by a sixth month Stabilisation Force (SFOR) rotation ending in another six month rotation as part of the Kosovo Force (KFOR) in 2000.  The battalion was stationed at Camp Monteith. In May 2003, the Spartans deployed to central Baghdad, Iraq, for a fifteen-month mission in support of the Iraq War's Operation Iraqi Freedom. The battalion deployed to Iraq for a second time in 2006, where it provided security and stability to the city of Hit. The unit redeployed to Germany in February 2007.

The Daily Examiner is a daily newspaper serving Grafton, New South Wales, Australia. The newspaper is owned by News Corp Australia. At various times the newspaper was known as The Clarence and Richmond Examiner and New England Advertiser (1859–1889) and Clarence and Richmond Examiner (1889–1915).

The Daily Examiner is circulated to Grafton, the Clarence Valley and surrounding areas from Woody Head in the north to Red Rock in the south.

The circulation of The Daily Examiner is 5,571 Monday to Friday and 6,446 on Saturday.

A major redesign of The Daily Examiner was highly commended in the PANPA 2002 Newspaper of the Year Awards for dailies and Sundays up to 20,000. The Daily Examiner was also awarded PANPA Newspaper of the Year 0 to 20,000 copies in 2009 for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific and 2010 APN Newspaper of the year

The Daily Examiner website is part of the APN Regional News Network.

History

The Clarence and Richmond Examiner was ostensibly launched in 1859 by William Edward Vincent. However, the power behind the throne was wealthy politician Clark Irving, an opponent of the separation of the Northern Rivers from the colony of New South Wales. In 1861 it was purchased by Richard Stevenson for £600. In 1875 it was purchased by James Gray and James McNaughton.

Grafton generally had three or more newspapers from 1874 into the new century when the tri-weekly Clarence and Richmond Examiner was converted into a daily on 1 July 1915, "to keep public issues constantly before the minds of the people".

Grafton has had a succession of long-serving editors who won renown for their editorial leadership in community affairs, most notably Cecil Bush Bailey (1886–1944), William Bailey-Tart (1944–1960) and John Irvine Moorhead (1960–1977).

Grafton surgeon Earle Page, later a caretaker Prime Minister, was a major boardroom influence on The Examiner as it continued to champion the New England New State proposal, a hydro-electric scheme on the Nymboida River, and a deep-sea port plan for Iluka.

Editors who have had the stewardship of the paper in the era of modern technological advancement include Geoff Orchison, Robert Milne and Peter Ellem, who has campaigned for a second Grafton bridge crossing, an ambulance station/health clinic in Yamba, and improvements to the Pacific Highway.

The Examiner continued its groundbreaking role in 1981, by appointing Laureta Godbee as the first female editor of an Australian daily newspaper. The current editor is Bill North.

Along with many other regional Australian newspapers owned by NewsCorp, the newspaper ceased print editions in June 2020 and became online-only publication.

Digitisation
The various versions of the paper have been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program project hosted by the National Library of Australia.

Decahydroxycyclopentane is an organic compound with formula  or . It is a fivefold geminal diol on a cyclopentane backbone.

The compound can be regarded as the fivefold hydrate of cyclopentanepentone. Indeed, the product referred to in the literature and trade as "cyclopentanepentone pentahydrate" () is now believed to be the decahydroxycyclopentane.

The compound was synthesized by Heinrich Will in 1861, although for a long time it was believed to be a hydrate of . It can be prepared by oxidation of croconic acid  with nitric acid. It can be isolated as water-soluble colorless crystals that melt with dehydration at about 115 °C, and slowly decompose at about 160 °C.

Evelyn Maude Blanche Paul (1883 – 1963) was a British artist best known for her book illustrations, including those replicating the style of medieval illuminations. Her work shows a variety of influences including Gothic, Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts. Most significantly, the Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti has been identified as one of Paul's major influences.

Biography
Paul was born on 4 November 1883, at 30 Torriano Avenue, Kentish Town, in North London. Her father was the portraitist Robert Boyd Paul (1819–1903), and her mother was Annie née McGlashan (born 1858 at Gibraltar), the daughter of a sergeant in the Royal Artillery and Robert Paul's 2nd wife.
In her teens, Evelyn attended art school in London and in 1906 entered the Schools of Art National Competition. She continued her studies, and on 1 June 1911 married the artist Alexander George Small (1875-1923), son of William Small (1843-1929), a well-known painter and honorary Fellow of the Royal Scottish Academy.

Alexander died twelve years later in 1923 at St Pancras Hospital, London, at the age of 48. Evelyn died of broncho-pneumonia at the same hospital on 29 January 1963.

Graham R. Fleming is a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley and member of the Kavli Energy NanoScience Institute based at UCB.

Fleming's team is known for developing and using techniques in advanced multidimensional, ultrafast spectroscopy to study complex condensed phase dynamics in systems including natural photosynthetic complexes and nanoscale systems including single-walled carbon nanotubes and organic photovoltaic systems.

These investigations and the findings of Fleming's team have indicated the key role of quantum electronic coherence in disordered biological environments. These findings have pointed towards the importance of examining the role of quantum dynamical processes in biological energy harvesting systems.

Education, career, and service
Fleming was born 3 December 1949 in Barrow (now Barrow-in-Furness), England, and received his B.S. degree with honors in chemistry from the University of Bristol in 1971. He subsequently received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University College London and the Royal Institution in 1974. Fleming then held postdoctoral researcher appointments at three institutions: California Institute of Technology (1974–1975); University of Melbourne (1975–1976); and the Royal Institution (1976–1979).

In 1979, Fleming began his independent research team with a faculty appointment at the University of Chicago. He was promoted to associate professor at the University of Chicago in 1983 and in 1985 was made a full professor. In 1987, Fleming was named the Arthur Holly Compton Distinguished Services Professor a position which he held for ten years. At the University of Chicago, Fleming served for three years as the chair of the chemistry department. During his time at the University of Chicago, he worked with Keith Moffatt to found the University's first new research institute in 50 years, the Institute for Biophysical Dynamics.

Fleming transitioned his research team to the University of California, Berkeley in 1997 where he held joint appointments as professor in chemistry and the founding director of the physical biosciences division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. In 2002, Fleming received an appointment as the Melvin Calvin Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at UCB. Fleming was also founding director of the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences (QB3) based at UC Berkeley.

In the areas of service to the university, Fleming also served as the vice-chancellor for research at UCB from April 2009 to 2015.

Harassment allegations
Fleming resigned from his position as vice chancellor for research (2015) and was subsequently removed as a Berkeley Global Campus ambassador (2016) following the filing of a harassment complaint against him by a former employee in 2014. The investigation that followed determined Fleming had violated the University of California's sexual harassment policy.

Select publications
Fleming has an extensive publication record. Listed below are some select publications from his independent research career at UC Berkeley:

The Hooghly River Bridge Commissioners (HRBC) office is a statutory organization under the Department of Transport (West Bengal), established in 1969 for the construction of Vidyasagar Setu.

In 1961, the Kolkata Metropolitan Planning Organization was set up through a resolution of the Development and Planning Department to develop a comprehensive development plan for the Metropolis, then called Calcutta. It was the first of its kind in India.

HRBC became the main body employed by the state government for complex civil engineering projects in urban locales in Kolkata. It is the principal body charged with the maintenance of the four flyovers across the city that serve as major traffic arteries.

An abandoned 14-floor skyscraper belonging to the HRBC in the Mandirtala neighborhood of Howrah was turned into the state secretariat of the Government of West Bengal and named as Nabanna. It continued to house the majority of state government departments and offices of the Chief Minister of West Bengal as of August, 2019.

Projects

 Vidyasagar Setu: the second bridge across the Hooghly river, which was inaugurated in 1992. It remains the longest cable-stayed bridge in India.

 Calcutta Infrastructure Development Projects: projects of the Government of West Bengal. Using international development loans, this project improved traffic speed by easing congestion at important critical junctions across Kolkata.

 Flyovers: At least four flyovers,  including the flyovers at major city roads like AJC Bose Road, Gariahat, and Park Street.

 Shyambazaar Crossing: improved major at-grade traffic junctions, most notably renewal of the historic Shyambazar 5-point crossing.

 Concretization of Tram tracks: upgraded Kolkata's tram tracks through the concretization of pavement.

Yekaterina Ottovna Vazem (born Matilda Vazem; ; 25 January 1848, Moscow – 14 December 1937, Leningrad)  aka Ekaterina Vazem was a Russian prima ballerina and instructor, whose most noted pupil was the legendary Anna Pavlova.

Early life
She was born Matilda Vazem in 1848 in Moscow, Russian Empire. She moved to Saint Petersburg, where In 1866, she was named the best student of the Imperial Theatre School (now the Mariinsky Ballet).

She became famous for first dancing the role of Nikiya in 1877 Marius Petipa's ballet, La Bayadère. She went on to become the teacher of legendary prima ballerina Anna Pavlova.

La Bayadère
During the mid- to late 19th century, Russian ballet was dominated by foreign artists, though during the late 1860s through the early 1880s the theatre administration encouraged the promotion of native talent. Vazem – a terre-à-terre virtuosa – climbed the ranks of the Imperial Ballet to become one of the company's most celebrated dancers. Despite being a benefit performance for Vazem, with tickets being more expensive than for the opera, the first performance of La Bayadère played to a full house. At the end of the performance the audience applauded for more than half an hour. Reviews were uniformly complimentary although they did register complaints of Petipa's license in dealing with historical facts. They also dwelt on the unavoidable mishaps that befall most first performances. For example, in the Kingdom of the Shades scene, the appearance of a magic  palace was mistimed and delayed until after Nikiya had turned to face it.

Her students
Among her notable students: Anna Pavlova, Olga Preobrajenska, Agrippina Vaganova, Mathilde Kschessinska, Vera Trefilova, Olga Spessivtseva, Elizaveta Gerdt, Elza Vill, Boris Shavrov, Konstantin Sergeyev, etc.

Mémoires
She authored a book of mémoires dictated to her son, entitled Записки балерины Санкт-Петербургского Большого театра. 1867–1884 ("Memoirs of a Ballerina of the St. Petersburg Bolshoi Theatre").

A berth is a bed or sleeping accommodation on vehicles.  Space accommodations have contributed to certain common design elements of berths.

Beds in boats or ships

While beds on large ships are little different from those on shore, the lack of space on smaller yachts means that bunks must be fit in wherever possible. Some of these berths have specific names:

V-berth
Frequently, yachts have a bed in the extreme forward end of the hull (usually in a separate cabin called the forepeak). Because of the shape of the hull, this bed is basically triangular, though most also have a triangular notch cut out of the middle of the aft end, splitting it partially into two separate beds and making it more of a V shape, hence the name. This notch can usually be filled in with a detachable board and cushion, creating something more like a double bed (though with drastically reduced space for the feet; 12" wide is typical). The term "V-berth" is not widely used in the UK; instead, the cabin as a whole (the forepeak) is usually referred to.

Settee berth
The archetypal layout for a small yacht has seats running down both sides of the cabin, with a table in the middle. At night, these seats can usually be used as beds. Because the ideal ergonomic distance between a seat-back and its front edge (back of the knee) makes for a rather narrow bed, good settee berths will have a system for moving the back of the settee out of the way; this can reveal a surprisingly wide bunk, often running right out to the hull side underneath the lockers. If they are to be used at sea, settee berths must have lee-cloths to prevent the user falling out of bed. Sometimes the settee forms part of a double bed for use in harbor, often using detachable pieces of the table and extra cushions. Such beds are not usually referred to as settee berths.

Pilot berth
A narrow berth high up in the side of the cabin, the pilot berth is usually above and behind the back of the settee and right up under the deck. Sometimes the side of this bunk is "walled in" up to the sleeper's chest; there may even be small shelves or lockers on the partition so that the bed is "behind the furniture". The pilot berth is so called because originally they were so small and uncomfortable that nobody slept in them most of the time; only the pilot, if he had to spend a night on board, would be offered it.

Quarter berth
This is a single bunk tucked under the cockpit, usually found in smaller boats where there is not room for a cabin in this location.

Lee cloths
Lee cloths are sheets of canvas or other fabric attached to the open side of the bunk (very few are open all round) and usually tucked under the mattress during the day or when sleeping in harbour. The lee cloth keeps the sleeping person in the bunk from falling out when the boat  heels during sailing or rough weather.

Berths in trains
Long-distance trains running at night usually have sleeping compartments with sleeping berths.  In the case of compartments with two berths, one is on top of the other in a double-bunk arrangement. These beds (the lower bed in a double-bunk arrangement) are usually designed in conjunction with seats which occupy the same space, and each can be folded away when the other is in use.

Sleeper trains are common, especially in Europe, India and China. Sleeper trains usually consist of single or double-berth compartments, as well as couchette, which have four or six berths (consisting of a bottom, middle and top bunk on each side of the compartment).

Open section berths

These berths are clustered in compartments, contrasting with the berths in the open sections of Pullman cars in the United States, common until the 1950s. In these cars, passengers faced each other in facing seats during the day. Porters pulled down the upper berth and brought the lower seats together to create the lower berth. All of these berths faced the aisle running down the center of the sleeping car. Each berth had a curtain for privacy away from the aisle.

Berths in long-distance trucks
Long-haul truckers sleep in berths known as sleeper cabs contained within their trucks. The sleeper-berth's size and location is typically regulated.

Holme Hall near Bakewell, Derbyshire, is a  privately owned 17th-century country house. It is a Grade I listed building.

History
The house was built, on the site of a previous manor house, in 1627 for Barnard Wells of Stoke Hall (Derbyshire), gentleman.  His daughter Mary married Henry Bradshaw, brother of regicide John Bradshaw. Another daughter and coheiress married Robert Eyre and inherited Holme in 1658.

The original entrance front to the south has three storeys and three bays, the central one projecting to create a full-height entrance porch, and the outer bays having canted bay windows to second-floor height. The windows are transommed and mullioned and the parapets are crenellated. To the rear is a plainer three-storey four-bay block and to the right a late 17th-century lower block of three bays.

The Eyres held the manor until 1802 when the estate was sold under an order of Chancery to Robert Birch, who sold it in 1820 to Thomas John Gisborne, second son of  Rev Thomas Gisborne of Yoxall. When Francis Gisborne died in 1881 the estate passed to his brother William Gisborne.

Arthur Tilford (14 May 1903 – 1993) was an English professional footballer who played as a full-back for various clubs in the 1920s and 1930s.

Football career
Tilford was born in Ilkeston, Derbyshire and, after playing for a local village side, he joined First Division Nottingham Forest in May 1924. He made only one First Division appearance for Nottingham Forest as they were relegated at the end of the 1923–24 season. In the following season, he made only seven appearances, generally at left-half, as stand-in for Bob Wallace.

After two seasons at Forest, he was transferred to Blackpool where he was moved to left-back, replacing George Bradshaw. Tilford made a total of 55 appearances for Blackpool before being replaced in turn by Stan Ramsay.

Tilford then dropped down to the Third Division South when he joined Coventry City in May 1929, where he spent three seasons, before joining Fulham in February 1932. At the end of his first season with Fulham, they were promoted as champions to the Second Division.

Tilford had established himself at left-back when the death of his young daughter in late 1932 caused a loss of form. Manager Jimmy McIntyre had just agreed to sign Mike Keeping from Southampton and suggested that Tilford should move to The Dell temporarily to help him recover from his loss. During his short spell with Southampton, Tilford continued to train at Craven Cottage and made only ten appearances for the "Saints".

In the summer of 1933, Tilford re-signed with Fulham but by now Keeping had established himself at left-back and Tilford was unable to force himself back into the side. After only five more appearances, he moved to Walsall where he spent the 1934–35 season before retiring from professional football.

Unc-51-like kinase 2 (C. elegans) also known as ULK2 is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the ULK2 gene. The gene is located within the Smith–Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17.

Structure and function

This gene encodes a protein that is similar to a serine/threonine kinase in C. elegans which is involved in axonal elongation. The structure of this protein is similar to the C. elegans protein in that both proteins have an N-terminal kinase domain, a central proline/serine rich (PS) domain, and a C-terminal (C) domain. ULK2 and the GTPase activating protein SynGAP function cooperatively in axon formation.

James Hamilton, 1st Viscount Claneboye (c. 1560 – 24 January 1644) was a Scot who became owner of large tracts of land in County Down, Ireland, and founded a successful Protestant Scots settlement there several years before the Plantation of Ulster. Hamilton was able to acquire the lands as a result of his connections with King James I, for whom he had been an agent in negotiations for James to succeed Queen Elizabeth I.

Early life and academic career

Hamilton was the eldest of six sons of Hans Hamilton (1535/6–1608) and Jonet (or Janet), daughter of James Denham, laird of West Shield, Ayrshire. His father Hans was the first Protestant minister of Dunlop in East Ayrshire, Scotland.

He was probably the James Hamilton who studied at the University of St Andrews and received a BA in 1584 and an MA in 1585. He acquired a reputation as "one of the greatest scholars and hopeful wits in his time" and became a teacher in Glasgow.

In about 1587 he left Scotland by ship and due to storms unexpectedly arrived in Dublin, Ireland. He decided to stay and took up the position of master at the Free School in Ship Street. He employed fellow Scot James Fullerton as usher. One of their pupils was eight-year-old James Ussher, later Archbishop of Armagh. When Trinity College Dublin was founded in 1592, the first provost Adam Loftus noted that Hamilton had "a noble spirit ... and learned head" and he and Fullerton became the first two Fellows of the college. Young Ussher followed them to Trinity. Hamilton and Fullerton were presbyterians, unlike Loftus who was episcopalian. Hamilton became bursar of Trinity in 1598.

Agent for King James VI of Scotland
Hamilton and Fullerton were also agents and informants for King James VI of Scotland. They provided James with information about Queen Elizabeth I of England's activities in Ireland and sought Irish support for James's succession to the English throne on Elizabeth's death. Eventually they resigned their College positions to take up appointments at the royal court. Hamilton was in London intermittently from August 1600 as agent for James VI in connection with negotiations for James to succeed Elizabeth.

Hamilton was accredited by James VI to reside in London, by his letters to Elizabeth and Robert Cecil on 4 August 1600. James said that Hamilton would be a "remaining agent" the equivalent of George Nicolson in Edinburgh.

He eventually carried the official news of Elizabeth's death to Scotland.

Settlement in County Down

In 1601, Gaelic chieftain Conn O'Neill of Ulster sent his men to attack English soldiers after a quarrel and was consequently imprisoned. O'Neill's wife made a deal with Scots aristocrat Hugh Montgomery to give him half of O'Neill's lands if Montgomery could get a royal pardon for O'Neill. Montgomery obtained the pardon but in August 1604 Hamilton discovered the plan for the land. James Fullerton, now Sir James and an advisor to King James, convinced the king that the lands were too large to be split in two and should be divided into three, with one-third going to his associate Hamilton; the king agreed. Hamilton's main grant, made formally in November 1605, was the lordship of Upper (South) Clandeboye and the Great Ardes in County Down.

The Nine Years' War in Ireland had ended in 1603, and Hamilton and Montgomery both recruited tenants from the Scottish Lowlands to migrate to Ulster to farm their newly acquired lands for low rents. They persuaded members of their extended families to come and, in May 1606, the first group of farmers, artisans, merchants and chaplains arrived to form the Ulster Scots settlement, four years before the Plantation of Ulster in 1610. The settlement was a success and Hamilton was knighted by the king at Royston on 14 November 1609. In 1610 Hamilton bought Dufferin from the White family. By 1611, a new town of eighty houses had been established at Bangor, where Hamilton lived. His brother John acquired lands in County Armagh and founded Markethill, Hamiltonsbawn and Newtownhamilton.

Hamilton was elected a member of parliament for County Down in 1613. He repaired the Bangor Abbey church in 1617. He was made the first Viscount Claneboye on 4 May 1622, in the Peerage of Ireland. He was also a privy councillor. In about 1625 he moved from Bangor to Killyleagh Castle. Montgomery died in 1636 and in 1637 Hamilton built the Custom House and Tower House at his port of Bangor, to try to replace Montgomery's port at Donaghadee as Ulster's main port.

In 1641, when in his eighties, he returned to his Scottish home town of Dunlop and built a mausoleum for his parents in the churchyard where his father had been minister. He erected a school attached to the mausoleum which he named Clandeboye School. Both buildings still stand.

In the Irish Rebellion of 1641, the native Irish population rose against English settlers, and later also Scottish settlers, and killed thousands of them. The king gave colonels' commissions to Hamilton and other Scots in November to raise troops in Ulster to combat the rising. Hamilton raised a regiment of 1,000 men. He wrote for red and white taffeta to make flags for his captains. The regiments raised by Hamilton and Hugh Montgomery's son, Hugh Montgomery, 2nd Viscount Montgomery, saved their areas of County Down from the degree of damage done in other parts of Ulster.

Hamilton died, aged about eighty-four, on 24 January 1644 and was buried in the church at Bangor.

Family and succession

Hamilton's first wife was Alice Penicook (sometimes referred to, apparently incorrectly, as Penelope Cooke), and she was with him until at least 1602. His second wife was Ursula Brabazon (died 1625), sixth daughter of Edward Brabazon, 1st Baron Ardee and Mary Smythe, and sister of the 1st Earl of Meath. He divorced Ursula in about 1615 to marry Jane Phillips (died 1661), the mother of his son. She was the daughter of Sir John Phillips of Picton Castle, Pembrokeshire.

Hamilton was succeeded as Viscount Claneboye by his only son James, who was also created Earl of Clanbrassil in 1647. His grandson, Henry Hamilton, 3rd Viscount Claneboye, died in 1675 with no sons and the title became extinct. The name Claneboye was revived in a title in 1800 when his great-great-grandniece Dorcas Blackwood was made 1st Baroness Dufferin and Claneboye.

Choa Chu Kang Road () is a road in Singapore in two sections.

History
Choa Chu Kang Road was originally a continuous road from Upper Bukit Timah Road to Jalan Sungei Poyan. However, as can be seen from historical maps of Singapore, development of the Choa Chu Kang town resulted in Choa Chu Kang Road being dissected into two sections some time between 1975 and 1984. Parts of the original Choa Chu Kang Road within Choa Chu Kang town are now occupied by the present day roads Choa Chu Kang Terrace and the part of Choa Chu Kang Avenue 1 south of Choa Chu Kang Way.

Road sections
Choa Chu Kang Road is divided into two roads - the one to the east is called Choa Chu Kang Road, and the one to the west is called Old Choa Chu Kang Road.

Choa Chu Kang Road
The first section is a short stretch from the junctions of Woodlands Road and Upper Bukit Timah Road and ends at the junction of Choa Chu Kang Way and Bukit Batok Road, providing an access to Choa Chu Kang town from Upper Bukit Timah Road. It connects various LRT stations - such as Phoenix LRT station and Teck Whye LRT station, and ITE College West is situated there.

Old Choa Chu Kang Road
The second and much longer section starts from Sungei Tengah Road all the way to the SAFTI Live Firing Area at Jalan Sungei Poyan, in the vicinity of National Shooting Centre. It is named Old Choa Chu Kang Road (). On 1994, with the partial closure of Choa Chu Kang Road, it was amended via Sungei Tengah Road for the construction of Kranji Expressway.

Old Choa Chu Kang Road leads to a number of military facilities, including Tengah Air Base, Army Logistics Base, Keat Hong Camp, Choa Chu Kang Camp, Poyan 300m Rifle Range, and if counting also Lim Chu Kang Road, also Lim Chu Kang Camp, Murai Camp and Sungei Gedong Camp. Home Team Academy is also located along Old Choa Chu Kang Road. The eastern end of Old Choa Chu Kang Road (near the interchange with Kranji Expressway) leads to the Sungei Tengah Argotechnology Park, one of the few  farming areas in Singapore. It also leads to the cemetery - called Choa Chu Kang Cemetery.

Old Choa Chu Kang Road has several bus services  - services 172 and 975 between KJE and Lim Chu Kang Road, and service 405 between Lim Chu Kang Road and Jalan Sungei Poyan, where the bus makes a U-turn at the end of Old Choa Chu Kang Road.

Choa Chu Kang Avenue 1
Choa Chu Kang Avenue 1, along the Comfort Garden private estate, the now-demolished Keat Hong Camp I & II (and it was redeveloped into Choa Chu Kang Neighbourhood 8) as well as the nearby seafood restaurant, was part of the section of Choa Chu Kang Road. The remains of Choa Chu Kang Road were also absorbed into Choa Chu Kang Avenue 1 and Avenue 3 respectively.
