It was reported that when "Argyllshire" got back to England after the strike, "i.e." at the end of May 1926, Scottish Shire Line replaced her UK crew with lascars. Lascars still crewed her when she was in New Zealand in March 1928. The Fremantle Harbour Trust Committee sued the owners of ships that had been strike-bound, because they had not paid harbour dues for the weeks that their ships were stuck in port. The shipowners made counter-claims, claiming that the Harbour Trust should have provided police protection to enable the ships to leave Fremantle. The Supreme Court of Western Australia was to hear the case, but on 25 June 1927 the parties settled out of court, and the shipowners' counter-claims were dismissed. Once a year round the World. In January 1927, "Argyllshire" loaded at Avonmouth and Liverpool, and sailed on 15 January for Australia via Cape Town. She called at Adelaide and Melbourne, and on 7 March reached Sydney. On 10 March she moved from a wharf in Walsh Bay to an anchorage in Athol Bight, where she remained until 15 March. On 16 March she left Sydney for London via New Zealand, where she loaded at Napier; Waikokopu; Bluff; Port Chalmers; Wellington; and Dunedin. She was too big to go alongside wharves in some of those ports. At Napier and Waikokopu, cargo was lightered out to her at anchor. Her cargo included 46,000 cases of apples for London, and 10,000 cases for Hull. Turnbull, Martin & Co advertised her passenger berths as "First-Class Accommodation for Saloon Passengers only"; and the fares ranged from £70 to £85; the same as they were a year before. On She left Wellington on 22 April; passed through the Panama Canal; and on 29 May reached London. "Argyllshire"s next voyage was to be to South Africa, starting from Liverpool on 16 July 1927. Toward the end of 1927 she began her next voyage to Australia. In November she called at Glasgow and Newport, and on 10 December she left Liverpool. She called at Cape Town, and on 18 January 1928 reached Adelaide.

She called at Melbourne, and on 29 January arrived in Sydney. On 3 February she left Jones' Wharf for an anchorage at Birt's Buoy. On 25 February she left Sydney for Tokomaru Bay in New Zealand. She called at Bluff; Port Chalmers or Dunedin; and on 28 March reached Wellington. In Wellington, "Argyllshire" and other refrigerated ships were delayed, because New Zealand suppliers failed to deliver the full amount of fruit that they had contracted to supply. One of her sister ships was also caught by the same delay: the former "Shropshire", now owned by the New Zealand Shipping Company and renamed "Rotorua". Turnbull, Martin & Co again advertised "First-class Accommodation for Saloon Passengers Only" aboard her for passengers to London, but this time did not advertise the fares. "Argyllshire" left a week late; on 11 April; for London and Hull. She sailed via the Panama Canal, and reached London on 20 May. For part of 1928, presumably between May and November, "Argyllshire" was laid up at Gare Loch in Scotland. On 17 November she left Liverpool carrying general cargo. She called at Cape Town; Fremantle; Port Adelaide; Melbourne; and Sydney; and reached Brisbane on 20 January 1929. On 23 January she left Brisbane for Sydney; where she berthed in Neutral Bay; and left on 2 February. She reached Bluff on 5 February; Where she landed a party of about 30 tourists. They were to tour South Island on land, and rejoin the ship to continue the voyage before she left Wellington. She then called at Napier; Waikokopu; Gisborne; Lyttelton; and Wellington, where she arrived on 2 March. The cargo she loaded en route included frozen meat, and 16,500 cases of cheese. She left Wellington on 9 March; She passed through the Panama Canal, and on 16 April reached London. It was not until seven months later that "Argyllshire" began her next voyage to Australia. She left Liverpool on 16 November 1929; passed through the Suez Canal; and reached Fremantle on 18 December. She had a new Master, Captain WJ Page, who had succeeded Captain Wallace.

The passengers that she brought to Australia included 15 tourists, who were sailing around the World aboard her. The tourists included Brigadier-General Arthur Slade-Baker, CMG; and Sir Emilius Hopkinson CMG, DSO. The ship reached Port Adelaide on Christmas Day, 25 December; Melbourne on 30 December; and Sydney on 6 January 1930. By the time she reached Sydney, her tourists were reported to number about 30. Most of them disembarked at Sydney; and were to rejoin the ship later. "Argyllshire"s lascar stewards were Goans, and several newspapers noted that on this voyage, their uniform included a sash of the tartan of Clan Campbell, whose lands are in Argyll. The ship reached Brisbane on 13 January, and left only two days later, to return to Sydney. On 31 January, the ship left Sydney for New Zealand. Federal Steam voyage and laying up. At the beginning of February 1930, it was reported that the New Zealand Shipping Company (NZSC) had bought "Argyllshire". The price was £145,000. In fact, NZSC allocated the ship to FSNC, which it had taken over in 1912. Her sisters "Shropshire" and "Wiltshire" had been built for FSNC. "Wiltshire" had been wrecked in 1922. "Shropshire" had been transferred to NZSC in 1923, and renamed "Rotorua". On 4 February 1930, "Argyllshire" arrived in Bluff. She called at Port Chalmers; Wanganui; New Plymouth; Gisborne; Wellington; Picton; and Lyttelton. She left Lyttelton on 13 March; passed through the Panama Canal; and on 19 April arrived in Southampton. "Argyllshire" began her next voyage by leaving Swansea on 8 May 1930. She loaded at Liverpool, where she left on 24 May. She passed through the Panama Canal, and a week later, one of her lascar coal trimmers died. The ship was stopped; one of the serangs conducted an Islamic funeral for him; and he was buried at sea in the Pacific Ocean. The ship reached Auckland on 30 June.

She continued to Wellington; Lyttelton; Port Chalmers; New Plymouth; Wanganui; Wellington; Napier; and Gisborne. She returned to Auckland, where on 28 August she left on her return voyage to England. Her cargo from New Zealand to England included 20,500 boxes of butter, and 9,500 crates of cheese. She passed through the Panama Canal, and on 12 October 1930 reached Avonmouth. From October 1930, FSNC seems to have laid up "Argyllshire" for 16 months. It was later reported that she had been laid up in the Thames. Tasmanian fruit shipment. Early in 1932, Scottish Shire Line chartered her for one voyage to bring Tasmanian fruit to Britain. She left Glasgow on 20 February; sailed via the Cape of Good Hope; and called at Port Pirie on 12 April. She started loading at Port Huon, in Hospital Bay, where she embarked 73,000 cases of apples and pears. By 22 April she was at Hobart, where she was to load 80,000 cases of fruit. On 28 April she reached Bell Bay, where she moored at Beauty Point. At the time, she was the largest ship ever to visit the Tamar River, as Garrow Rock was a hazard to navigation, which prevented any ship longer than "Argyllshire" from entering the river. There she loaded 29,829 cases of apples; 311 cases of pears; 162 tons of peas; and 140 tons of butter. Her total fruit cargo was 192,752 cases. On 30 April she left Tasmania, and on 6 May she called at Fremantle, where she loaded timber, and 4,579 cases of apples. She sailed via the Cape of Good Hope, and on 17 June reached London. She continued to Liverpool, where she arrived in 30 June to discharge the remainder of her cargo. "Argyllshire" was one of ten ships that, between them, landed 712,400 cases of Tasmanian apples in England within the space of two weeks. 240,000 cases of New Zealand apples were landed at the same time, and some of the ships coming from Tasmania also brought fruit from South Australia and Western Australia. The ships reached England just as English strawberries were ripe.

That year's strawberry crop was large; which depressed prices; and this in turn depressed wholesale prices for apples. "Argyllshire"s apples were found to be over-ripe, and her pears were even worse. Growers and FOB buyers alike incurred heavy losses. Tasmania's State Fruit Advisory Board (SFAB) investigated; found shortcomings in "Argyllshire"s refrigeration system; and concluded that there was a case to seek compensation from her owners. Wastage of some apple varieties was 25 to 50 percent. Dessert pears were all ruined. Only the hard, green cooking varieties of pear were still in good condition. "Argyllshire" was not the only refrigerated cargo ship whose Tasmanian fruit crop reached Britain in poor condition that year. Only on a minority of ships did all of the fruit cargo arrive in a condition reported as "good" or "very fair". On many ships, the condition was described as "variable", and on some, there was a significant amount of waste. About a week behind "Argyllshire", Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's "Natia" brought even more Tasmanian fruit than did "Argyllshire". Many of "Natia"s apples were spoiled by "brown heart", and her cargo fetched an even lower price per case than did "Argyllshire"s. Many of the apples on "Natia"s sister ship "Navasota", and some of those on Furness, Houlder Argentine Lines' "Canonesa", also had "brown heart". The P&O liner "Baradine"s fruit cargo was "variable", and was sold almost as cheaply as "Argyllshire"s. However, "Argyllshire"s cargo was among the worst. One Tasmanian wholesaler said that it had been reported as "positively the worst cargo which has arrived in London within the period of living memory". There was an official report into the entire shipment of Tasmanian fruit in 1932; not only that aboard "Argyllshire". It set out three possible failings: that some of the fruit was below standard before it was loaded; that fruit cases were stowed too close together in ships' holds, thus impeding proper ventilation; and that refrigerating machinery may have been defective. Cargo compensation claims. FSNC admitted that when "Argyllshire" left Tasmania, part of her refrigerating equipment "broke down temporarily".

However, the breakdown lasted less than 24 hours, which allowed the underwriters to reject any insurance claim for the fruit. FSNC also rejected all compensation claims, alleging that the fruit was too ripe before it was loaded. A Huon Valley local councillor suggested that the ship being laid up for 16 months could have contributed to her refrigerating equipment falling out of good repair. The SFAB also noted that discharging part of a refrigerated hold at one port, and later discharging the remainder at another port, as "Argyllshire" had done in London and Liverpool, was not best practice. In December 1932, the SFAB advanced £8,517 to the Fruit-growers' Defence Fund to help to fund a lawsuit against FSNC. By late March in 1933, underwriters had started to honour insurance claims for "Argyllshire"s fruit. By late April, two-thirds of the claims had been paid. Underwriters settled on the basis that, in good condition, apples should have sold for ten shillings per case; and they paid the difference between this and the actual prices realised. Late in May 1933, the SFAB reported that "most" of the "Argyllshire" claims had been met, or were to be met. It passed on advice from the Salvage Association in London that all remaining claims must be lodged by 16 June 1933. In the 1933 fruit season, Tasmanian pears shipped to Britain aboard Scottish Shire Line's "Buteshire" were also spoiled. The SFAB found that there was significant variation between the different Lloyd's insurance policies that had been taken out on "Argyllshire"s cargo. Toward the end of June 1933, the SFAB recommended that such policies be standardised. "Clan Urquhart". On 15 November 1932, FSNC sold "Argyllshire" to Clan Line, who renamed her "Clan Urquhart". Clan Line had the ship overhauled, and spent more than £20,000 on reconditioning and improving her refrigerating machinery. The sale was announced in January 1933. By the time of her sale, her passenger accommodation was 66 berths for first class (or saloon class) passengers. However, Clan Line carried few passengers.

Instead, The first class cabins on her port side were stripped out, and replaced with a garage for the export of 40 cars. She was equipped with a special sling to load and unload each car. The first class cabins on her starboard side became officers' quarters; and her passenger didning saloon, lounges, and smoking room also became facilities for the officers. Her Master and Chief Officer each had a suite of five rooms. Her Second; Third; and Fourth Officer; and her Wireless Officer; each got his own former cabin-de-luxe. She carried nine engineers, including refrigerating engineers; and each had a three-room suite. She carried deck cadets, each of whom had a single-berth cabin. In keeping with her new name, the ship flew a flag of Clan Urquhart tartan from her jackstaff. Clan Line appointed a Scot, Captain George Young, as her Master. He had been with Clan line since 1908, and had survived the sinking of "Clan Macmillan" by in the English Channel in 1917. His next command was "Clan McKenzie", which a damaged by torpedo in 1918. But she stayed afloat; her crew used the defensive gun on her poop to repel her attacker; and was later towed to safety. For saving his ship, Captain Young was awarded Lloyd's Medal for Meritorious Service, and the London War Risks Insurance Association formally commended his "seamanlike skill and devotion to duty". He remained her Master for the next 15 years. A piece of the torpedo that struck "Clan McKenzie" was found in her engine room, and Captain Young kept it as a souvenir. In 1934, Clan Line made him vice-Commodore of its fleet. Early in 1933, "Clan Urquhart" left the UK for Australia. She called at Beira in Portuguese East Africa, and on 21 March reached Sydney, where she loaded fruit and other cargo. She continued loading at Melbourne, where Captain Young gave his Muslim lascars a day off to celebrate Eid al-Adha.

On 8 April she left Melbourne, carrying 190,000 to 200,000 cases of fruit; 40,000 cases of dried fruit; 1,500 tons of grain; 1,750 bales of wool; 1,250 tons of lead; 300 bales of sheepskins; 552 tons of flour; and ten tons of tallow. She called at Durban, and on 27 May reached London. Holed off Queensland. "Clan Urquhart"s next voyage to Australia was in August 1933. On 5 September she reached Port Pirie, where she loaded lead. From there she headed for Townsville, but on 12 September, as she was approaching Cape Moreton to pick up a coastal pilot, she struck a submerged object. Water entered her numbers one, two and three holds; rose to a depth of in number two hold; and she started to list to starboard. She diverted to Pinkenba Wharf, on the Brisbane River. Two centrifugal pumps were brought from Brisbane, which by 14 September had cleared the water from the holds. A diver found that one of her hull plates on her port side had been fractured, and the plating had been displaced by . The diver fitted patches over her damaged plates, as temporary repairs. The Deputy Director of Navigation and Lighthouses in Brisbane issued a notice, advising ships to avoid the area between Smith Rock light buoy and Brennan Shoal. On 25 September, began survey of the area, to find the obstruction that "Argyllshire" had struck. She found that the light buoy that was meant to mark Smith Rock had drifted north by about a quarter of a mile. "Clan Urquhart" had thus struck Smith Rock. In 1909, the BISN steamship "Waipara" had been wrecked on the same rock. On 22 September, "Argyllshire" arrived in Sydney, where she was dry docked in Woolwich Dock for permanent repairs. On 17 October she left Sydney to bunker at Newcastle, and then resume her voyage north.

She loaded 1,500 tons of sugar at Townsville, and 400 tons of frozen beef at Port Alma, before calling at Eagle Street Wharf in Brisbane, On her return voyage south she again bunkered at Newcastle, She continued loading at Sydney; Melbourne; and Fremantle; where she left for Europe on 22 November. She passed through the Suez Canal; reached Hull on 27 December; and in January 1934 continued to discharge at London and Glasgow. Further voyages. Early in 1934, "Clan Urquhart" started from Glasgow, and on 7 April she reached Newcastle, New South Wales. She continued to Brisbane, where she loaded at Hamilton Cold Stores and Thomas Borthwick & Co's Wharf. She returned via Sydney, where she berthed at Woolloomooloo. There she loaded cargo including 1,256 carcasses of mutton; 4,034 carcasses of lamb; and 3,533 boxes of butter. On 17 April she reached Hobart; where the next day, Clan Line's local agent, AG Webster & Sons, entertained 28 fruit exporters to lunch aboard her. The agents, and Captain Young, sought to reassure exporters that Clan Line had had the ship's refrigerating system reconditioned and improved; that it was now the most up to date; and since the overhaul, its frozen cargoes had arrived in excellent condition. She next called at Station Pier in Port Melbourne, where she was to load wool and general cargo. She returned via Durban; reached London on 11 June; and on 17 June continued discharging at Hull. On 8 December 1934, "Clan Urquhart" left Liverpool for Australia. She reached Fremantle on 14 January 1935; and then Adelaide; Melbourne; and Sydney, where she berthed at Ball's Head Wharf, and later was to move to Pyrmont. On 2 or 3 February 1935, she arrived off Cape Moreton. She had difficulty in summoning a pilot to take her upriver to Brisbane, because the local pilot steamer was not equipped with wireless telegraph. The procedure was for an arriving ship to signal to the wireless telegraph station at Perth; which would then telephone Moreton Island; whence the pilot steamer would then be sent.

However, storms on 31 January and 1 February had broken the telephone line to Moreton Island, and it had not yet been repaired. The Koninklijke Paketvaart-Maatschappij passenger liner "Nieuw Holland", and the Norddeutscher Lloyd cargo ship "Aller", were also delayed for the same reason. At Brisbane, the "Clan Urquhart" berthed at New Farm. By 9 February 1935, "Clan Urquhart" was in Townsville, where she discharged 380 tons of general cargo, and loaded 1,000 tons of silver lead bullion, and 350 tons of sugar. On 12 February, she arrived in Brisbane; carrying 15 passengers in saloon class and 24 in steerage; all but three of them destined for ports further south. She was to load 260 tons of frozen meat at Brett's Hamilton Wharf, but a strike at Brisbane Abattoir prevented her. After laying idle for three days, she left Brisbane on 15 February, leaving the frozen meat behind. She called at Newcastle, where she bunkered with 2,000 tons of coal, and loaded 1,600 sacks of flour and 135 drums of tallow. The flour was a 100-ton consignment from G Fielder & Co's mill in Tamworth. She called at Sydney, where she berthed at Woolloomooloo; and Hobart, where she loaded 30,011 boxes of fruit. She called at Station Pier in Melbourne, where she loaded wool; refrigerated produce; and general cargo. She called at Fremantle, where she left on 15 or 16 March. She called at Aden; passed through the Suez Canal; and on 17 April she reached London. On 4 May she reached Manchester, and on 10 May she reached Glasgow. "Clan Urquhart"s next voyage to Australia was a few months later. She started from Liverpool; and one day later, a stowaway announced himself to one of the deck cadets. He was a veteran of the Australian Field Artillery, who in 1916 had sailed on the ship from Australia to France when she was "Argyllshire". He had lived in Britain and mainland Europe, and now wanted to return home to Australia. Captain Young put him to work.

The ship called at Beira, where she left on 19 October 1935; and sailed around the north coast of Australia, passing the Torres Strait Islands on 10 November. Two days later she reached Townsville; where she loaded frozen meat, and silver lead bullion. She called at Bowen, where she loaded 2,000 tons of sugar. At Brisbane she berthed at Brett's Wharf; loaded at Hamilton Cold Stores; and left with cargo including 2,597 boxes of butter. At Newcastle she berthed at Lee Wharf, where Australian immigration authorities allowed her stowaway to enter the country. She continued to Sydney; Port Melbourne; Adelaide; and Fremantle, where she left on 20 December. Her cargo included wool for Dunkirk, Antwerp, and Liverpool; flour for Antwerp, London, and Hull, barley for London and Glasgow; and wine for Glasgow, Liverpool, and Manchester. She sailed via the Cape of Good Hope; reaching Dunkirk on 28 January 1936; Hull on 7 February; and Manchester on 11 February. Final voyage. "Clan Urquhart" was due to leave Liverpool for Australia on 7 March 1936. By 13 March she was at Lourenço Marques in Portuguese East Africa. However, on 29 July it was announced that Clan Line had sold her to Thos. W. Ward for scrap. On 30 October 1936, she reached Briton Ferry in Wales to be broken up. On 14 March 1937, fire broke out during shipbreaking work. She was scuttled in shallow water to help put out the fire. Demolition continued where she lay. Her registry entry was closed on 12 October 1937.

""Synaphodus""
|
Synaphodus is an extinct genus of artiodactyls belonging to the basal family Dichobunidae. It was endemic to western Europe and lived during the Oligocene, although its specific temporal range is uncertain. Despite having only one recognized species S. brachygnathus, it has had a complicated taxonomic history due to the genus name, established by the French palaeontologist Auguste Pomel in 1848, being applied early on for a species that was eventually reclassified under the suoid genus "Propalaeochoerus". It was a large-sized member of the Dichobuninae similar to "Metriotherium" but differed from it by its more bunodont (round and low cusps) dentition among other differences. As one of the few dichobunines of the Oligocene, it would have coexisted with immigrant faunas after the Grande Coupure extinction event and surviving faunas within western Europe. Taxonomy. In 1848, the secretary of French palaeontologist Jean-Louis Hardouin Michelin de Choisy, named Mr. Bayle, wrote about a presentation given by French palaeontologist Auguste Pomel, who gave mention to an artiodactyl genus named "Synaphodus", assigning "Anthracotherium gergovianum" (originally named by French palaeontologist Jean-Baptiste Croizet) to it without further explanation. The same year, Pomel also erected the genus name "Brachygnatus" for the same species. He also wrote about the species "Synaphodus brachygnathus", explaining that its dentition was similar to that of "Anoplotherium" and had continuous dentition meaning short diastemata. The etymology of "Synaphodus" derives from the Ancient Greek words (union) and (tooth) in reference to the continuous dentition on the holotype mandible. In 1848–1852, French palaeontologist Paul Gervais tentatively listed "A? gergovianum", explaining that he thought that its molars were more similar to those of "Dichobune" than "Anthracotherium". He noted that the species was listed under three genus names, namely "Cyclognathus", "Brachygnathus", and "Synaphodus".

""Synaphodus""

In 1853, Pomel listed the species name "Synaphodus gergovianus" based on a mandible with dentition, of which "Anthracotherium gergovianus" and "Sinaphodus brachygnathus" (the latter name created by him as well) are synonyms. He also defined "Cyclognathus" as being synonymous with "Cainotherium". In 1899, Swiss palaeontologist Hans Georg Stehlin suggested that the synonymous names "Synaphodus brachygnathus" and "Synaphodus gergovianus" are invalid and that their specimens can be classified under "Palaeochoerus". After Stehlin erected "Propalaeochoerus" the same year, "P. gergovianus" as originally named by Croizet has since been assigned to it. The taxonomic status of "Synaphodus" had often been overlooked by taxonomists of the 20th century, as noted by Jean Sudre. In 1951, French palaeontologist René Lavocat revived "Synaphodus brachygnathus" as a valid genus and species belonging to the Dichobunidae based on the mandible studied in 1853 by Pomel. The validity of "Synaphodus" was followed by Sudre in 1978, who stated that it was distinct enough from its close relative "Metriotherium". Classification. "Synaphodus" belongs to the subfamily Dichobuninae within the Dichobunidae, an extinct early artiodactyl family within the superfamily Dichobunoidea. The Dichobunoidea is a paraphyletic group of basal artiodactyls appearing in the Early Eocene that gave way to various other artiodactyl clades, extant and extinct. The Dichobunoidea is considered by researchers to consist of seven families: Cebochoeridae, Diacodexeidae, Dichobunidae, Helohyidae, Homacodontidae, Leptochoeridae, and Raoellidae (although not all researchers agree that the Raeoellidae is a dichobunoid family). Despite the consensus that the Dichobunoidea is a paraphyletic group, researchers are still investigating the extent to which certain members are stem taxa to other major artiodactyl clades.

At least some dichobunoid families are thought to be monophyletic while others are paraphyletic, some of whom may even be polyphyletic; the latter grouping means that some clades need to be reassessed. Some of the earliest artiodactyls to have appeared in the fossil record by the Early Eocene are dichobunoids that have simultaneously appeared in North America, Europe, and Asia. In both North America and Europe, species classified to "Diacodexis" are the earliest records of artiodactyls in both continents that extend back to the Wasatchian of the North American land mammal age and MP7 of the Mammal Palaeogene zones of Europe, respectively ("Diacodexis" and the Diacodexeidae are thought to both be polyphyletic). In Asia, some of the earliest artiodactyl genera, who correlate to equivalent ages, are the possible suiform "Wutuhyus" and dichobunoid "Tsaganohyus". In the Early to Middle Eocene within the three continents, the artiodactyls were common mammals of small to medium sizes that generally had bunodont to bunoselenodont (bunodont plus selenodont) dentitions, thus making them important for biostratigraphy. The Dichobunidae is a family of artiodactyls known from both Europe and Asia that contains multiple subfamilies: Dichobuninae, Hyperdichobuninae, Eurodexinae, and Lantianiinae. Members of both Europe and Asia appeared as early as the Early Eocene, evident by the early appearance of "Eolantianus" in Asia and those of other dichobunid genera like "Protodichobune" and "Aumelasia" in Europe by MP10. Both of the early dichobunids "Protodichobune" and "Aumelasia", along with "Dichobune", are genera belonging to the Dichobuninae. While most species of the subfamily are recorded exclusively from western Europe, one other species pending assessment as ""Dichobune" sp." is recorded from the Lushi Formation in China, although its status within the Dichobunidae is unclear.

The Dichobuninae, and the wider Dichobunidae by extent, lasted up to the Late Oligocene, evident by the range of the dichobunine "Metriotherium" extending up to MP27. In 2020, Vincent Luccisano et al. created a phylogenetic tree of the basal artiodactyls, a majority endemic to western Europe, from the Palaeogene. The results found the Dichobunidae, except for "Aumelasia", as a paraphyletic stem group in relation to other artiodactyls. Both the Dichobuninae and Hyperdichobuninae are recovered as paraphyletic groups. Luccisano et al. noted the lack of phylogenetic resolution of the dichobunid subfamilies to each other and to other artiodactyl clades, which follows results from earlier studies and means that more research needs to be done for dichobunid phylogenetics. The phylogenetic tree as produced by the authors is shown below: In 2023, Abhay Rautela and Sunil Bajpai created an analysis on the phylogenetic relationships between basal artiodactyls by compiling a matrix of dental remains of 34 artiodactyl species; most of these artiodactyl species are dichobunoids (Diacodexeidae, Dichobunidae, Homacodontidae, Cebochoeridae, Leptochoeridae, Raoellidae), but some are members of the Pakicetidae and one other species is a member of the Helohyidae (the basal placental mammal "Protungulatum" is the outgroup taxon in the analysis). Below is a cladogram by Rautela and Bajpai of the artiodactyl taxa based on a 50% majority consensus: As seen in the above phylogeny, one clade pairs "Dichobune" with "Homacodon", "Buxobune", and "Gobiohyus" based on specific dental traits. Based on the cladogram, Rautela and Bajpai defined "Diacodexis", the Diacodexeidae, and Dichobunidae as all polyphyletic taxa.

In the case of the dichobunines, this is because they are more closely paired with non-dichobunids than with the lantianiines ("Eolantianus", "Elaschitotherium") and hyperdichobunines ("Mouillacitherium"). In 2022, Weppe conducted a phylogenetic analysis in his academic thesis regarding Palaeogene artiodactyl lineages, focusing most specifically on the endemic European families but also on European dichobunids. He found that the Dichobuninae was more closely related to the Cebochoeridae and species classified to the polyphyletic Choeropotamidae, contrasting with the Hyperdichobuninae, which was paraphyletic in relation to the other endemic European artiodactyl groups (Amphimerycidae, Anoplotheriidae, Xiphodontidae, Mixtotheriidae, and Cainotherioidea). Within the dichobunine clade, which includes "Dichobune" and "Metriotherium", "D. robertiana" is defined as the plesiomorphic species that makes up the first branch and is followed by those of "D. sigei", "M. mirabile", and a clade consisting of "D. jehennei" and "D. leporina". He also stated that the species named "D." aff. "robertiana" had even more plesiomorphic traits than the other "Dichobune" species and supported the idea from prior literature that "M. mirabile", "D. jehennei", and "D. leporina" were more derived species within their subfamily. He defined "Dichobune" as being paraphyletic in relation to "Metriotherium". Description. Dichobunoids are known for having the complete dental formula of for a total of 44 teeth, consistent with the primitive dental formula for early-middle Palaeogene placental mammals. This is the case for the Dichobunidae, whose teeth are not much separated by diastemata and are bunodont (low and rounded cusps). Except for some of the oldest genera, dichobunids are also described as having molars (M/m) that generally have five to six tubercles (or cusps) each.

""Synaphodus""

The Dichobuninae is described as having unspecialized and rounded dentition, although it is more bunodont than in the earlier Diacodexeidae. In the upper premolars (P/p), the metaconule cusp is larger than the paraconule cusp. P3 has a protocone cusp while P4 has a metaconid cusp. P1 is premolariform in shape. The upper molars in dichobunines usually have three wide distal cusps along with a hypocone cusp. Within the six-cusped molars, the paracone, metacone, protocone, and metaconule cusps are the major types present while the paraconule and hypocone cusps are the secondary ones. In terms of cranial features, the Dichobuninae is diagnosed as having slightly elongated snouts. "Synaphodus" is diagnosed as being a large-sized dichobunine similar to "Metriotherium". Only the lower dentition of "Synaphodus" is known due to the upper dentition never having been found. Unlike with the selenodont (crescent-shaped ridges) "Metriotherium", the dentition of "Synaphodus" is more bunodont (round and low cusps). Its canine is large-sized. The premolars have a paraconid cusp on them individually, and there is a noticeable lack of diastema between P2 and P3. P4 in "Synaphodus" is longer than that of "Metriotherium" and has a well-developed metaconid at the lingual side's centre area. Palaeoecology. Although the Eocene-Oligocene transition marked long-term drastic cooling global climates, western Eurasia was still dominated by humid climates, albeit with dry winter seasons in the Oligocene. Europe during the Oligocene had environments largely adapted to winter-dry seasons and humid seasons that were composed of three separate vegetational belts by latitude, with temperate needleleaf-broadleaved or purely broadleaved deciduous forests aligning with the northernmost belt between 40°N and 50°N, the middle belt of warmth-adapted mixed mesophytic and evergreen broadleaved forests aligning between 40°N and 30°N, and the last belt containing tropical vegetation aligning below 30°N.

""Synaphodus""
|
The exact stratigraphic range of "Ephelcomenus", while suggested to be exclusive to the Oligocene, remains uncertain. The Eocene environmental trends and faunal assemblages of western Europe differed dramatically from those of the continent in the Oligocene due to warmer and subtropical climates plus strong levels of endemism given the isolation of western Europe as an archipelago from other landmasses by the early Eocene. The Dichobuninae, which "Synaphadus" belongs to, was one of the European artiodactyl groups endemic to Europe. Given that it was most likely exclusive to the Oligocene, it would have coexisted with post-Grande Coupure survivors as well as non-endemic immigrant faunas originating from eastern Eurasia. Examples of immigrant faunas include later anthracotheres, ruminants (Gelocidae, Lophiomerycidae, and Bachitheriidae), rhinocerotoids (Rhinocerotidae, Amynodontidae, and Eggysodontidae), carnivorans (Nimravidae, Ursidae and later Amphicyonidae), eastern Eurasian rodents (Eomyidae, Cricetidae, and Castoridae), and eulipotyphlans (Erinaceidae).

The Polanów Upland is a mesoregion within the West Pomeranian Lake Land, forming the central part of the morainic lake district belt. It serves as a transitional area between the low-lying plains of the and the higher elevations of the terminal moraine chain of the . Covering approximately 1,700 km², it borders the and to the west, the and to the north, the Kashubian Lake District to the east, and the Bytów Lake Land to the south. According to Tomasz Larczyński, the highest point is Świerczogóra (191 m above sea level) near Rzeczyca Wielka. However, in an alternative physical-geographical division proposed by , the Polanów Upland is not distinguished as a separate mesoregion, with most of its area included within a broader definition of the Bytów Lake Land. Like other mesoregions of the West Pomeranian Lake Land, the Polanów Upland is characterized by a lake district landscape. Its terrain was shaped by the retreat of the last glaciation during the Pomeranian phase. As the ice sheet receded, it deposited material brought from the north, including gravel, sand, clay, and boulders. Hydrography. Several major coastal rivers flow through the Polanów Upland, including the Radew, Grabowa, Wieprza, Słupia, and Łupawa. Lakes are scarce, with a higher concentration in the eastern part of the mesoregion. Two reference lakes, Jasień Południowy and Jasień Północny, which form the Jasień lake complex, are monitored for changes in surface water conditions. In 2012, their chemical status was rated as good. However, between 2010 and 2013, the ecological status of Jasień Północny declined from very good to good, and Jasień Południowy from good to moderate. In the 1980s, both lakes failed to meet standards due to high copper content. Fauna. The diversity of habitats in the Polanów Upland supports a wide range of species. The islands of Lake Jasień serve as breeding grounds for waterfowl such as common merganser, common goldeneye, tufted duck, common sandpiper, and potentially great cormorant.

""Puente Colgante de Santa Fe""

The Ingeniero Marcial Candioti Bridge, better known as the Santa Fe Suspension Bridge (Spanish: Puente Colgante de Santa Fe), is a suspension bridge in the city of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Province, Argentina. It goes across the Setúbal lagoon. It connects the west coast of the lagoon to the east coast of the lagoon. It is also a symbol of the city of Santa Fe and a symbol of its people. It has a long history that includes an almost total collapse in 1983 and its restoration after twenty years. It was originally made to take water from the Colastiné neighborhood and to connect the city with the Universidad Nacional del Litoral and the El Pozo neighborhood, among other places. The bridge is now a tourist attraction. As a landmark and monument in Santa Fe, it is a meeting point for celebrations, social gatherings and festivities. It has inspired poets, artists, photographers and documentaries. Collapse. After standing for 55 years, one of its pillars collapsed on September 28, 1983 because of a strong flood that had lasted several months. It was a surprise to everyone, and many photos and videos from the neighbors and journalists of that time show a slow fall. The east antenna collapsed at 4:35 p.m., keeping only half of the structure standing. The Santa Fe newspaper "El Litoral" published that day, “A goodbye that wants to be see you later". Part of the bridge sank into the Setúbal lagoon and was recovered in 1984. The bridge was not rebuilt until 20 years later. The administration of the then governor José María Vernet was associated with the image of the fallen bridge. First, due to the interventions of man in the flood valley, caused by the occupation of the river land by buildings, and the mismanagement of dredging. Second, due to the scandal that produced the verification of irregularities in the sale of parts of the suspension bridge. The recovered material was taken to the city port, where it was left in the custody of the provincial government. Months later, that material was sold for scrap. Reconstruction. The reconstruction of the bridge was wanted by most of the people of Santa Fe, since it had always been a source of pride for the city.

The works began in April 2000 by the company "CCI Construcciones" and an attempt was made to largely respect the original structure of the 1920s. This is clear, for example, in the inclusion of a pipe that does not fulfill any function, but that it did in its first construction. The bridge, once rebuilt, preserved the original elements, integrating them with the new ones and contrasting them, without breaking the visual unity of the work. This new bridge preserves the original west antenna, assembled in 1924. The new antenna was built in the city of Esperanza, by the Ferma company. It arrived in Santa Fe at the end of April 2001 and was assembled with a gigantic crane on July 6 of that year. It differs from the old antenna in that it lacks rivets, and its joints are made by welding. It reopened in September 2002.

Occasionally, the Anniversaries are described in the academic literature as a trio of poems due to Donne's poem "A Funeral Elegy" being included in the original print of "An Anatomy of the World". "An Anatomy of the World" was Donne's first poem to be published in print, although many of his poems had been circulated in manuscripts before this. The First Anniversary: An Anatomy of the World. An Anatomy of the World, or "An Anatomie of the World, Wherein By Occasion of the untimely death of Mistris Elizabeth Drury, the frailtie and the decay of this whole world is represented", was written and published along with "A Funeral Elegy" in 1611. After hearing of Elizabeth Drury's death, Donne wrote "A Funerall Elegie" and presented it to the Drurys. They asked him to write a Latin epitaph for their daughter's monument and also to accompany them to France. In November 1611, before the trip to France, Donne wrote and had printed "An Anatomy of the World." The poem is not only a personal elegy dwelling upon the loss of the Drury's daughter, but also a metaphysical conceit using Elizabeth's death as a metaphor to discuss the demise of the world and all of its virtues. Donne reflects upon the religious and sociocultural upheaval and fracturing present within early 17th-century England, bemoaning that the state of society, "'Tis all in pieces, all coherence gone." Donne uses the concept of anatomy to undertake a dissection of the world, examining the causes of the world's death in the form of a loss of social unity and spiritual sickness.

""Anniversaries (John Donne Poems)""

Donne may have been informed by contemporary medical and philosophical ideas like those on anatomy by Andreas Vesalius, whose medical work Donne had studied, and Paracelsus, who considered the human body to be a microcosm of the entire world. The Second Anniversary: Of the Progress of the Soul. Of the Progress of the Soul, or "Of the Progresse of the Soule, Wherein: By Occasion of the Religious Death of Mistris Elizabeth Drury, the incommodities of the Soule in this life and her exaltation in the next, are contemplated", was written whilst Donne was accompanying the Drurys on their trip to France. In spring 1612 the poem was published as a volume together with "An Anatomy of the World" and it is at this point where the poems received their secondary title of "The First Anniversary" and "The Second Anniversary", becoming collectively known as the "Anniversaries". Criticism of the poems. In 1619, William Drummond of Hawthornden reported that fellow poet Ben Jonson stated to him when they had spoken in 1618 that "Dones [sic] Anniversarie was profane and full of Blasphemies: that he told Mr Donne, if it had been written of the Virgin Marie it had been something..." Donne apparently replied, "that he described the Idea of a Woman, and not as she was.

""Dunszt family""
|
The Dunszt family (originally "Dunst") is a wealthy Swabian entrepreneurial family of German origin, descending from Stuttgart. The family established itself in Hungary in the mid-19th century and rose to prominence through its extensive ventures in the hospitality industry. Over time, the Dunszt family became one of the most influential and affluent dynasties in Kecskemét, contributing significantly to the city's civic, cultural, and economic development. Today, the family has branches in Hungary, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and the United States. The Hungarian lineage is primarily located in Kecskemét, Budaörs, Nagykovácsi, Solymar, and Budapest. History. The dynasty traces its origins to Ferenc Dunszt, who settled in Kecskemét in 1850 and began his career in wine trading. By the end of the decade, he secured a contract with the municipal authorities to operate wine services, and by 1871 had been granted civic rights. In the 1860s, he expanded into hospitality by opening a restaurant, laying the foundation for what would become a multi-generational enterprise. Ferenc's son, József Dunszt, initially trained as a butcher before pursuing formal studies in the hospitality field. His early career included positions at the Lipik spa and later as an estate manager at the Bolváry domain in Zlathnó. Upon returning to Kecskemét, he managed the Sétatéri Restaurant and eventually acquired his father's former premises, transforming it into the Royal Hotel (Royal Szálló). Under his leadership, the hotel became a prestigious establishment and a cornerstone of the city's social life. József fathered fourteen children, several of whom continued the family tradition in hospitality. Among them, Adorján and Gyula Dunszt assumed leadership of the Royal Hotel after their father's passing. By the early 20th century, the Dunszt family had become synonymous with excellence in Kecskemét's gastronomy and urban culture, shaping the city's hospitality landscape across generations. The Dunszt Family in Politics. One of the earliest and most prominent political figures of the Hungarian branch of the Dunszt family was Ferenc Dunszt (originally Ferenc Dunst; 1815–1883), a leather merchant and long-serving public official in the 19th century.

Born in Budapest on January 10, 1815, he received his education in Pest and, after completing six years of secondary schooling, trained as a tanner. Following his military service, he traveled across Germany as a journeyman tanner, gaining valuable experience in the trade. Upon his return to Hungary, he became the manager of the Stofenberger leather factory and its affiliated leather trading company in Pest. In 1843, he married into the Hermann family and relocated to Veszprém, where he took over the leather business of his father-in-law, János Hermann. Ferenc Dunszt’s public career began during the revolutionary years of 1848–1849, when he served as captain of the city of Veszprém. He continued to rise in public service, becoming first councilor in 1854 and city judge in 1861. In 1862, he was elected mayor of Veszprém, a position he held until his resignation in 1865. However, following the restoration of the city’s municipal self-governance in 1869, he was re-elected as mayor. After three successful re-elections, he remained in office until his death on February 10, 1883. In addition to his local leadership, Ferenc Dunszt was elected as a Member of Parliament for Veszprém in 1872, expanding the family's influence to the national political stage. Originally bearing the surname Dunst, Ferenc later adopted the Hungarianized form Dunszt as part of a broader 19th-century national movement to Magyarize family names, a change that became official during his public life. His contributions to civic administration and Hungarian political life mark the beginning of the Dunszt family's public legacy. In 1982, his remains were transferred from the Alsóváros Cemetery to the Vámosi Road Cemetery in Veszprém, where his memory continues to be honored.

Michael John Witgen is an American historian and author. He is a professor of history at Columbia University. He is a citizen of the Red Cliff Band of the Ojibwe tribe. He specializes in Native American history, especially of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region of North America. His 2022 book "Seeing Red: Indigenous Land, American Expansion, and the Political Economy of Plunder in North America" details the political and economic pressures that led to the Anishinaabeg tribe and other Native Peoples becoming dispossessed of their lands during the 18th and 19th centuries. However, Witgen's research challenges the misconception that the Native Peoples of North America quickly became overwhelmed and displaced by White settlers. Witgen explains how the Anishinaabeg peoples used their greater numbers, access to natural resources, and political maneuvering to keep most of their lands well into the 19th century. The book was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for History in 2023. "Seeing Red" was reviewed in the New York Review of Books by Francisco Cantu who described the work as "neither a popular history nor a polemic, offering instead a deeply researched look at the ideological and legal foundations of the systems that have despoiled Native nations." Cantu states that Witgen joined a new school of historians who challenged the myth that Native Peoples in North American were quickly conquered during American westward expansion, in fact Witgen's works focus on Native American resilience and adaptability in the face of an encroaching American political and military system. The book was also awarded the Organization of American Historians James A. Rawley Prize and the Western History Association's Caughey Western History Association Prize for the best history book about the American West. Witgen's first book, "An Infinity of Nations: How the Native New World Shaped Early North America" explains how Native Peoples formed a "Native New World", retaining their culture, society, political system, economy well into European colonization of the East Coast. They sucessfully resisted forced assimilation but also joined the world economy. Witgen's study focuses on the Anishinaabe and Dakota peoples to document this cultural shift.

Trachythorax illaesa is a species of stick-insect from in the Western Ghats of India and in Sri Lanka. Males are much smaller than females and they are both winged and capable of strong flight. They lay eggs in clusters with ornate architecture and a flower-like radiating collar that is thought to provide protection from parasitoid wasps. It was described by Redtenbacher on the basis of single male specimen but synonymized in 2005 under "T. maculicollis". It was restored as a valid species in 2021. The yellow membrane between the head and the pronotum and the black markings on the mesonotum are characteristic. Like all members of "Trachythorax", they have males that are almost half the length of the females. They lay eggs in clusters which are glued onto the substrate, often a twig.They have an opercular collar which expands upon drying and forms a skirt around the egg. The toothed lateral margins are thought to provide defense against parasitoid wasps by reducing the area of the eggs that are available for the wasp to reach to lay eggs on or inside.

""Denny Hibernian F.C.""

Denny Hibernian F.C. was a Scottish Junior football club from Denny, Falkirk, active before the Second World War, which won the Scottish Junior Cup on one occasion. History. Denny Hibs were founded in May 1906, at the instigation of James McBryde, a former Stenhousemuir centre-half. The club was drawn to face Dunipace, the Scottish Junior Cup holders, for its first competitive match, in the first round of the 1906–07 Junior Cup, and were one minute away from knocking the holders out; the club eventually succumbed in a replay. Off the back of that result, the Hibs applied to join the Stirlingshire Junior League, which had recently lost two members, but although the club was accepted as a member of the Stirlingshire association, it was turned down on the casting vote of the League chairman. The club instead joined the Clackmannanshire Junior League for 1907–08, and the Hibs won the title, although it did not return to the league for 1908–09. The Hibs joined the Scottish Junior Football League in 1927–28, in the East division, and although it finished bottom in its first season, it improved to the extent that it won the division in 1930–31 (although it lost the overall title play-off to Dumbarton Harp United, in part due to Malcolm Comrie missing the second half through injury), and the Victory Cup in 1931–32. The club had a tantalizing season in 1928–29, reaching five cup finals, but losing them all. The club reached three Scottish Junior Cup finals, winning once, in 1930–31. The triumph was suffused with such controversy that the club did not receive the trophy until the week before the 1931–32 final. The 1931 final, at Tynecastle Park, was against Burnbank Athletic, and inside-right McDonough scored the only goal for Denny after 25 minutes.

However, on the final whistle, Burnbank put in a protest, on the basis that Denny goalkeeper Joe Toner had played in a pre-season tournament without the SJFA's authorization, and the trophy was withheld; the SJFA upheld the protest by a 5–4 majority and ordered a replay, to which Denny refused to turn up, pending a claim for an interdict in the court in Glasgow. The court refused the interdict, so the replay was rescheduled, but this time the Swifts refused to turn up, so the SJFA finally presented the trophy to Denny nearly a year late. The legal rows continued to rumble on, and in May 1932 the SJFA suspended the Hibs for non-payment of a fine, which nearly scuppered the club's appearance in the final of the Stirlingshire Junior Cup; the club paid the fine, and beat Camelon Juniors in the final at Brockville Park. At the height of its powers, however, the club folded. Before the 1933–34 season, the club's ground was requisitioned for a new school, and, unable instantly to secure a new ground, the club committee decided to go into abeyance for the year; however the club was never resurrected.

Flight out of Time: A Dada Diary () is a 1927 book by the German writer Hugo Ball. It is an edited version of Ball's diaries from the years 1913 to 1921, which includes his time in the Dada movement at Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, as well as his quick rejection of Dada and modern literature in general. The book consists of personal notes and excerpts from mystical and anarchist literature. The original diaries are lost so it is unknown to what extent Ball changed their content, but the changes were made to emphasise a trajectory away from Dadaism and anarchism and toward Ball's later interest in Catholic theology. Ball's wife Emmy Hennings described the book in a letter as a "very edited diary" and "by no means directly copied" from the original texts. The title "Flight out of Time" is a reference to monastic life. The book was published a few months before Ball's death at the age of 41.

""Law of Myanmar""
|
Burmese law is based on common law, and is characterised by significant legal pluralism, with state law coexisting with various customary justice systems across the diverse nation. The legal system of Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a complex, due to significant historical influences, including ancient customary laws, British colonial imprints, and post-independence legislative and judicial developments. Myanmar stands out as the only majority Buddhist country to have developed and maintained a court-enforced system of family law (called Burmese customary law) for Buddhists. Decades of Socialist and military rule has eroded the country's legal institutions. Myanmar's legal system has been characterised by a severe and systematic absence of the rule of law, rampant corruption, and human rights abuses, particularly since the 2021 Myanmar coup. In 2024, it ranked 138th across 142 countries, in the World Justice Project's Rule of Law Index. Beyond state law, ethnic armed organisations (EAOs) often apply their own justice systems and laws in contested areas. History. The foundations of Myanmar's legal system can be traced back to the Bagan dynasty (9th to 13th centuries), primarily transmitted through palm-leaf manuscripts: Pre-colonial Burma had one of the most advanced legal systems in Asia, as "the only country between Japan and the Middle East to develop a legal profession independently of European influence." Lawyers, known as "shay-nay" (ရှေ့နေ့, ), emerged between the 800s to 1550. Beginning in the 16th century, King Anaukpetlun issued royal edicts to regulate the legal profession. British rule in Burma (1824-1948) fundamentally reshaped the legal landscape. British common law principles were introduced, leading to the codification of laws, many of which mirrored those in British India. The Myanmar Penal Code, enacted in 1861, is largely identical to the Indian Penal Code. The Burma Laws Act of 1898 mandated that courts apply the religious law of the parties — for Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians —to civil matters like succession, inheritance, and marriage. From this development, Burmese customary law (then known as Burmese Buddhist law) emerged. This colonial imposition, often created a disjuncture with existing indigenous legal traditions. After gaining independence in 1948, Burma (now Myanmar) inherited the common law legal system as its basis.

In 1962, after the 1962 Burmese coup d'état, the socialist Revolutionary Council abolished the post-independence judicial system and re-aligned it with socialist principles. In 1974, under the new Constitution, a new system of courts under the Central Court, was established. This system was designed to be subservient to the socialist state and the Burma Socialist Programme Party (BSPP), which became the country's sole legal political party. In 1988, the military junta, the State Law and Order Restoration Council transformed the socialist judicial system, by enacting the Judiciary Law, and re-established the Supreme Court and High Courts. In 2000, the military junta reformed the court system was yet again. In 2010, under the 2008 constitution, the country adopted its present-day judicial system. Following the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, the Burmese military introduced a number of measures that further eroded rule of law and an independent judiciary, including a suspension of habeas corpus, the right to legal due process.

""Mathurmohan Biswas""
|
Babu Mathur Mohan Biswas or Babu Mathuranath Biswas (1817 – July 16, 1871), also known as "Sejobabu", was an Indian Zamindar and the third and youngest son-in-law of Rani Rashmoni. He was a devoted follower, disciple, attendant, and provider (rasaddar) of Shri Ramakrishna. Birth and Early life. Mathur Mohan Biswas was born in the year 1817 in the village of Bithari, located in Swarupnagar, under the Basirhat subdivision of present-day North 24 Parganas district, West Bengal, then part of British India. He was born into a wealthy Mahishya family. Mathur Mohan was the youngest of five sons of Joynarayan Biswas. His ancestral home was originally in Sonabaria village, in what is now Satkhira, Bangladesh. He received his education at the Hindu College in Calcutta (now Kolkata), one of the most prestigious educational institutions of that time. In 1827, Mathur Mohan Biswas married Karunamoyi, the third daughter of Rani Rashmoni. As Rani Rashmoni’s third son-in-law, he became affectionately known as “Sejobabu". However, after Karunamoyi’s death in 1831, Rani Rashmoni arranged for Mathur Mohan to marry her youngest daughter, Jagadamba, in 1833. Following this, Rani Rashmoni kept him in her household and entrusted him with managing the estate’s administrative and financial affairs. At one point, Rani Rashmoni filed a legal case against Mathur Mohan, accusing him of misappropriating estate funds. However, she later withdrew the case, moved by her maternal affection and recognizing the practical needs of managing the zamindari (estate). In the years that followed, Mathur Mohan proved himself to be exceptionally loyal and capable in all responsibilities entrusted to him. Career. On May 31, 1855, after Rani Rashmoni established the Bhavatarini Kali Temple at Dakshineswar, it was Mathur Mohan Biswas, despite being educated in English and well-versed in Western rationality, who, with deep foresight, realism, and inner vision, recognized the spiritual greatness of Sri Ramakrishna.

It was Mathur who appointed Sri Ramakrishna as the priest of the Bhavatarini Temple, and he went on to support all of Sri Ramakrishna’s spiritual practices with sincere devotion and commitment. For nearly eighteen years, Mathur served Sri Ramakrishna with unmatched dedication. With the approval of Rani Rashmoni, Mathur took care of Sri Ramakrishna’s food, clothing, shelter, personal security, and pilgrimage arrangements. His faith and devotion to Sri Ramakrishna were unwavering. Through logical reasoning and personal experiences, he became fully convinced of Sri Ramakrishna's divine incarnation, eventually surrendering himself at the feet of the Master, recognizing in him a true renunciate, free from all desire for lust and gold. On one occasion at Dakshineswar, Mathur had a divine vision of both Shiva and Kali simultaneously manifesting through Sri Ramakrishna's body. From that moment onward, he accepted the Master as his all-in-all, depending on him in every matter, both spiritual and worldly. "Mathur once said:" For Sri Ramakrishna, during his intense spiritual practices at Dakshineswar, the dedicated service of Mathur Mohan Biswas was absolutely essential. It was through Mathur's unwavering support that Sri Ramakrishna was able to overcome every obstacle and attain success in all forms of spiritual disciplines. During one phase of his sadhana, Sri Ramakrishna prayed to the Divine Mother Jagadamba, saying:—""মা,আমাকে শুকনো সাধু করিস নি,রসেবসে রাখিস।" (“Mother, do not make me a dry ascetic. Keep me immersed in divine rasa")." Because Mathur Mohan took full responsibility for all the care and support during Sri Ramakrishna’s spiritual practices, the Master himself recognized Mathur Mohan as the chief provider (rasaddar) in the divine play (lila) of Jagadamba (Maa Kali of Dakshineswar). He, along with his wife Jagadamba and eldest son Dwarikanath, also helped to establish the Annapurna Temple in Titagarh, modelled after the Dakshineswar Kali Temple. Swami Gambhirananda has mentioned about Mathuranath Biswas in his famous book ""Sri Ramakrishna-Bhaktamalika" -" Death.

Mathur Mohan Biswas breathed his last on 16th July 1871 (1st Shravan, 1278 Bengali calendar) at 5 PM in Kalighat, Kolkata, at the age of 54. At the time of Mathur’s passing, Sri Ramakrishna was in deep samadhi (spiritual trance) for several hours, praying for Mathur’s successful spiritual journey. Remarkably, immediately after Mathur’s death, Sri Ramakrishna’s samadhi was broken, and he commented: Descendants. His descendants have split into two families. The Biswases of 18 Rani Rashmoni road and the Hazras of 13 Rani Rashmoni road. Both the branches separately organise their own Durga Puja, which is attended by many people across the city.

""Entrophospora etunicata""
|
Entrophospora etunicata, is a species of fungus in the genus "Entrophospora" within the family "Entrophosporaceae". It is an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi that forms symbiotic relationships with the roots of various plants, facilitating nutrient exchange. This species has undergone two notable order changes since its description in 1997. It has agricultural and ecological significance as it assists with enhancing plant growth and soil health. Taxonomy and phylogeny. The etymology of the name derives from Greek for a "spore nourished from within" for "Entrophospora" and the Latin word "etunicatus" for "derived of its coat" referring to its "ephemeral outer wall." As an AM fungi, "E. etunicata" belongs to the phylum Glomeromycota, a group encompassing over 300 described fungal species. The basionym for "E. etunicatam" is "Glomus etunicatum". A synonym is "Claroideoglomus etunicatum", after reclassification. In 2022, molecular phylogenetic analysis saw the fungus, and other related "Glomus" species, reclassified, leading to the creation of the Entrophosporales and the Entrophosporaceae family (formerly (Claroideoglomeraceae), containing the genera "Entrophospora", "Claroideoglomus", and "Albahypha". Additional molecular phylogenic analysis has positioned "E. etunicata with E. hanlinii and E. argentinensis" sharing the closest phylogenic relationship. Morphology. Like most species in Glomeromycota, "E. etunicata" reproduces asexually with its coenocytic hyphae and production of glomerospores,with no known sexual state. Members of the genus "Enterphospora" have spores borne from within the neck of a pre-differentiated "sporiferous saccule," or a spore within a saccule. The spores regularly have 2-4 spore layers and hyaline to subhyaline or whitish funnel-shaped subtending hyphae. Spores are typically 60-160 µm in diameter, with hyphae measuring 5-10.2 µm.

Its colour ranges from orange to red-brown with a globose shape. Morphologically, "E. etunicata" is distinguished from all other "Entrophospora" by having only two spore layers to the spore wall, the first layer forming the surface of the spore. Neither of the layers is semi-flexible and both are even in thickness. The outer layer degrades and sloughs as spores age, so that it may be present in patches (usually detected in Melzers reagent) or appear as a granular layer. This characteristic is what Becker and Gerdemann referenced with the name ""etunicata"." The pore of the spore subtending hypha is closed by a septum continuous with the innermost laminae (sublayers) of the laminate spore wall layer of layer 2. This is in contrast to that of "E. argentinensis," where its pore is closed by the innermost laminae of the laminate spore wall layer two and a septum continuous with the additional innermost spore wall layer three. Additionally, globose "E. etunicata" spores may be 1.4-fold larger. Ecology. As an AM fungus, "E. etunicata" forms a symbiotic relationship with the host plant and its root network. The life cycle of mycorrhizal fungi begins when a fungal spore germinates and hyphae grow toward a host root. "E. etunicata" forms arbuscules or coils through the cell walls of the root cortical cells. Outside of the root, "E. etunicata" interacts with organic soil matter and living roots of other plants resulting in the establishment of mycorrhizal networks that can then connect with other neighboring plants. The external hyphae of the fungus take up water and micronutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus and then transfer them into the host cells. These micronutrients are exchanged through the arbuscles for carbon that is then stored in vesicles or new spores, allowing for "E. etunicata" to maintain its energy and future growth. As AM fungi form intimate associations with about 80% of land plant species,"E.

etunicata" is one of the most commonly occurring arbuscular fungi in the world with samples being found on every major continent, from the tundra of Alaska to the desert of Nigeria. Samples have been found throughout multiple discrete biomes in Brazil. Overall biology and relevance for humans. As "E. etunicata" was only characterized in 1977, and as its applications as an AM fungus are still being explored, it has no specific cultural relevance to humanity outside of the field of agriculture in general. Its importance to humanity lies in its potential effectiveness in the area of agriculture, both economically and ecologically. "E. etunicata" has been researched with various plant species and under a multitude of growing conditions to test its effectiveness with alleviating plant stress, improving the nutritional biomass of a plant, protecting against toxin injury, and improving sustainability. It has shown the ability to enhance plant tolerance to abiotic stresses and promote plant growth in soil contaminated by heavy metals such as cadmium, and rare earth elements like lanthanum."E. etunicata" has shown benefits as an alternative for improving the production of "C. chinense" seedlings and enhancing the anabolism of its health-promoting bioactive compounds by up to 144%. In Brazil, under field conditions, inoculation of a fast-growing tropical tree "Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum" with AM ("Claroideoglomus etunicatum" and "Acaulospora sp."), increased wood yield by approximately 20%. It has shown benefits in alleviating combined boron toxicity and salt stress symptoms in maize plants. And, it has stimulated morphophysiological and gene expression resulting in higher photosynthetic rate and water use efficiency when used as a monospecific inoculation in both drought-tolerant and sensitive Caatinga Passion Fruit. No data has been found to show arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and "E. etunicata" in particular, causes pathogenic illness or disease in humans or other animals. However, the use of AM fungi, has been shown to contributes to the overall improvement of soil health leading to an improvement of human health as a byproduct. The use of AM fungi plant inoculation can significantly increase the contents of medicinal active ingredients by (27%), with a particularly notable enhancement observed in flavonoids (68%) and terpenoids (53%).
