title: List of people with locked-in syndrome

text:
This is a list of notable people with locked-in syndrome, a syndrome where a patient is conscious and self-aware but is completely paralyzed.

Gil Avni
Israeli citizen Gil Avni, then 33, experienced complete locked-in syndrome (CLIS) at Meir Hospital, Kefar Sava, Israel, after experiencing an unknown health impacting incident at his home while watching TV. When Avni's wife, Orit, a nurse, arrived home, she found him bearing a pulse rate of about 160, making 50 breathes per minute, with symptoms of cyanosis, and called an ambulance. During transport, a dangerously low oxygen saturation of 50% was detected. When reaching the hospital, Avni was anesthetized and ventilated, later (after CT) diagnosed with cerebral edema. Avni, since arriving at the hospital, consciously experienced and remembered most if not all of his surroundings audio-visually, later auditory (with eye lids closed), including after anesthesia.

Avni remained in hospital in critical condition due to continuing low oxygen saturation and pulse rates now reaching 180-200. After almost two days, when his family and ancestors had already given him a last goodbye, his sedatives were reduced. This allowed him to regain the ability for eye movement, later full body control. At the same time, his oxygen saturation returned to normal, and lung ventilation could finally be removed. He has since fully recovered - apart from a PTSD stemming from this experience.

Avni remembered and reported most, if not all, the conversations taking place during the hospital period, both days and nights, and was able to precisely cite conversations, and people encountered. The documentary film "44 hours" covers his unique experience in his own words, as well as the reactions of his wife and friends, and those treating him in hospital, some of whom are first confronted with details of what Gil Avni reports occurred during the hospital visit - and confirm it.

Jean-Dominique Bauby
French journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby had a stroke in December 1995. When he awoke 20 days later, he found his body was almost completely paralyzed; he could control only his left eyelid (as the other was sewn shut to prevent an infection). By blinking this eye, he slowly dictated one alphabetic character at a time and, in so doing, was able over a great length of time to write his memoir, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly; the memoir was adapted to the screen in a namesake 2007 movie. Two days after the book was published in March 1997, Bauby died from pneumonia. He was instrumental in forming the Association du Locked in Syndrome (ALIS) in France.

Nick Chisholm
Nick Chisholm (born 1973 in Dunedin, New Zealand), the brother of Survivor NZ host Matt Chisholm, had a series of mini-strokes, culminating in a massive brainstem stroke during a rugby game at the age of 27 on 29 July 2000. He has since recovered some muscle usage, and has become a bodybuilder and a personal trainer for other disabled people. He can't speak, but communicates via pointedly moving his eyes around a clear plastic board with letters and number on it to spell out what he wants to say. On March 26, 2020, his wife Nicola gave birth to triplets, conceived with Nick via IVF.

Rom Houben
In 1983, Rom Houben survived a near-fatal car crash and was diagnosed as being in a vegetative state. Twenty-three years later, using "modern brain imaging techniques and equipment", doctors revised his diagnosis to locked-in syndrome. He was initially reported as communicating by typing into a keyboard with his right hand, though the presence of a facilitator to move his hand attracted sharp criticism and strong doubts that Houben's communications were authentic.

In early 2010, Dr. Steven Laureys, Houben's neurologist, admitted that subsequent tests had demonstrated Houben had not actually been communicating via the facilitator, and Der Spiegel, which had originally "quoted" many of Houben's facilitated statements, retracted those quotes as being inauthentic.  Laureys maintained the MRI data that had led him to diagnose Houben as locked-in still suggested he was conscious.

Houben's case had been thought to call into question the current methods of diagnosing vegetative state and arguments against withholding care from such patients.

Tony Nicklinson
Tony Nicklinson was born on 2 April 1954. Nicklinson was a rugby union player and a successful civil engineer. The 58 year old was paralyzed from the neck down after having a stroke in 2005. He was not able to speak or move any parts of his body apart from his head and eyes. He had spent two-and-a-half years undergoing therapy in a hospital before moving home in a wheelchair to be cared for by his wife, Jane, and his two teenage daughters Lauren and Beth. He described his life as a "living nightmare".

Nicklinson attempted to seek a landmark ruling in the British courts which would have allowed him the right to an assisted death, but he lost the case in the High Court. He died on 20 August 2012 at his home in Melksham, Wiltshire by refusing food. His family continued his case after his death, before it was ultimately rejected in the Supreme Court.

Gary Parkinson
In 2010, former Premiership footballer Gary Parkinson had a massive stroke and was later diagnosed with locked-in syndrome. This, however, has not ended his career in football, as he is now part of Middlesbrough F.C.'s scouting analysis team, watching potential players on DVD and relaying the verdict to the Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray solely through blinking.

Martin Pistorius
Martin Pistorius began developing locked-in syndrome when he was 12 years old. He went into a coma for two to three years, after which point he slowly regained consciousness but was unable to communicate this to others until he was around 19 years of age. Now capable of some movement and able to communicate with a speech synthesizer, Pistorius currently works as a freelance web designer/developer and has published a book about his life entitled Ghost Boy.

Tony Quan, aka Tempt One
Tony Quan, a popular graffiti artist, was diagnosed with the nerve disorder ALS in 2003, which eventually left him fully paralyzed except for his eyes. Quan uses the technology called EyeWriter to communicate his art and has since had his work displayed in numerous art shows nationally.

Cases in literature

The Count of Monte Cristo
The character of M. Noirtier de Villefort in Alexandre Dumas' novel The Count of Monte Cristo (1844) apparently has locked-in syndrome. He is described as a "corpse with living eyes", who communicates with eye movements and expressions. His granddaughter Valentine helps him form sentences by reciting the alphabet and scanning dictionary pages with her finger until he indicates which letters and words he wants.

A Song of Ice and Fire
In the first novel A Game of Thrones, the character Khal Drogo enters into a vegetative state after suffering sepsis countered by blood magic, resulting in complete paralysis. Though he is able to move his eyes along the orbit of the sun, he is implied to be blind and only able to sense it because of the heat. His wife, Daenerys, ultimately suffocates him out of pity.

Thérèse Raquin
In Émile Zola's novel Thérèse Raquin (1867), Thérèse Raquin and her second husband Laurent accidentally reveal to Thérèse's aunt, Madame Raquin (who has locked-in syndrome after a stroke), that they have murdered Camille Raquin (Madame Raquin's son). One day, when some friends are over, Madame Raquin eventually musters an enormous amount of strength to move her finger on a table, tracing words that would reveal Thérèse and Laurent's deed. However, she is interrupted, and her words are misinterpreted as "Thérèse and Laurent have taken good care of me".

Johnny Got His Gun
Johnny Got His Gun (1938) is a novel by American author and screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, which describes a young American soldier who loses both his arms, his legs, and his face in World War I. This novel portrays "how it might feel to be totally locked-in", but it is not a true case of "locked-in syndrome", according to the WHO definition. Johnny attempts to communicate with the outside world using Morse code through banging his head on his pillow and weakly chanting (in his mind) "SOS Help me".

The Ultimate Secret
The character of Jean-Louis Martin in Bernard Werber's sci-fi novel L'Ultime Secret (2001), has locked-in syndrome after being paralyzed in a car accident. Able at first only communicate by blinking – once for "Yes" and twice for "No" – with the use of high tech, he eventually gains control not only over his own mind, but those of others.

Locked In
Sharon McCone, the protagonist of Marcia Muller's suspense novel Locked In (2009), is the founder of a successful San Francisco detective agency. On returning to her office late one night, she is shot in the head. She wakes up in a hospital able to move only her eyes, forced to struggle to rehabilitate herself while finding the attacker.

Sleepyhead
Mark Billingham's novel Sleepyhead (2013) addresses a criminal who purposely manipulates pressure points on each victim's head and neck with the intention of inducing locked-in syndrome.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

The book The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is a memoir by journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby. It describes what his life is like following a massive stroke that left him with locked-in syndrome. It also details what his life was like before the stroke.

Lock In
John Scalzi's science fiction police procedural Lock In is based on a society where large numbers have the locked-in-like Haden's Syndrome due to a pandemic, and are able to interact with the world through BCI-controlled bodies.

Lamikorda
In D. R. Merrill's 2014 science-fiction novel, the Alplai virologist and epidemiologist Gihuunak appears to have a form of locked-in syndrome, being confined to a motorized wheelchair and using a speech synthesizer to communicate.

Cases in popular culture

The 100
In season 6, episode 4 of The 100, titled "The Face Behind the Glass", the main character (Clarke Griffin) is shot in the neck with a paralytic dart, resulting in a locked-in state in which she was able to move only her eyes voluntarily.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents
In season 1, episode 7 of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, titled "Breakdown" (November 13, 1955, on CBS), the sole survivor of a violent collision (Joseph Cotten) finds himself in a locked-in state, unable even to move an eyelid. The viewer experiences the victim's point of view, "hearing" his thoughts and feelings as they run from shock to anger to frustration to the realization that he may be put in his grave alive.

Breaking Bad
Hector Salamanca, a character on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, was left paralyzed after having a stroke. Initially unable to move any part of his body, he later gained use of his right index finger and rang a bell attached to his wheelchair to communicate.

Criminal Minds
In the Criminal Minds episode "The Uncanny Valley", the unsub Samantha Malcolm induces locked-in syndrome using a series of drugs in three women. Her reason is she is trying to complete a series of dolls she lost as a young girl. Every two months, a woman will die as the stress wreaks havoc on the body. Only one woman, who has diabetes, is able to counteract the drugs and fight off her locked-in syndrome. The episode "To Bear Witness" also uses locked-in syndrome; in it a man falls into locked-in syndrome after surviving a botched lobotomy and communicates to Derek (Shemar Moore) through blinks.

CSI: New York
The CSI: NY episode "Blink" presented an instance of locked-in syndrome wherein a woman (portrayed by Jewel Christian) was sedated by the killer, who applied pressure to certain points on her head, resulting in her paralysis. The killer's previous attempts resulted in his victims' dying.

Forever
In the Forever episode "The Last Death of Henry Morgan," Henry confronts his immortal stalker, Adam, and lures Adam close enough to plunge a needle into his neck and inject a full syringe of air.  We later see Adam now has Locked-In Syndrome from an air embolism to his brainstem.  The scene is from Adam's point of view, the image out of focus and voices mildly distorted.  The doctor tells Henry Adam's condition could last a lifetime - the only way to stop Adam killing mortals and tormenting Henry will be to keep him alive in this state.

House M.D.
The House M.D. episode "Locked In" presented a case of locked-in syndrome, which later turned into a case of total locked-in syndrome; the patient was portrayed by Mos Def.

Scrubs
In the Scrubs episode "His Story III", a patient (played by Henry LeBlanc) is presented with locked-in syndrome.

Star Trek
In the Star Trek episode "The Menagerie", Star Fleet captain Christopher Pike (played by Jeffrey Hunter when healthy, and Sean Kenney when injured) is severely burned, completely paralyzed, and can communicate only by brain waves; he can operate an electrical wheelchair and can answer yes/no questions by "one flash for yes, two flashes for no".  This episode aired in November 1966; the first actual such interface was done by Fetz at the University of Washington in 1969, as noted in brain–computer interface.

TED Talks
On the TED Talk website a talk was posted about the story of one family's journey with a brainstem stroke called: "My Father, Locked-in his Body but Soaring Free". Another talk was given about graffiti artist TEMPT and the open source eye tracking device that was developed for him by his friends: "The Invention That Unlocked A Locked In Artist"

Calvary
In Calvary Dr. Frank Harte (Aidan Gillen) tells Father James (Brendan Gleeson) a story about a small child rendered deaf, mute, paralyzed and blind after botched anaesthesia, and contemplates the ineffable terror of such sensory isolation.

title: Brown cuckoo-dove

text:
The brown cuckoo-dove (Macropygia phasianella) is a dove in the genus Macropygia found in Australia from Weipa and Aurukun in the north to Bega in the south, and most inland at Atherton and Toowoomba. It is sometimes called the "brown pigeon" or "pheasant pigeon", but both terms are best avoided, as they can lead to confusion with the brown doves and the true pheasant pigeon. It was one of three new species defined when the slender-billed cuckoo-dove was split in 2016.

Taxonomy
The brown cuckoo-dove was formally described in 1821 by the Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck from a specimen collected near Port Jackson in New South Wales, Australia. He coined the binomial name Columba phasianella. The specific name is a diminutive of the Latin phasianus, meaning "pheasant". The brown cuckoo-dove is now placed in the genus Macropygia, which was introduced by the English naturalist William John Swainson in 1837.

Three subspecies are recognised:
 M. p. quinkan Schodde, 1989 -  Cape York Peninsula
 M. p. robinsoni Mathews, 1912 -  Queensland
 M. p. phasianella (Temminck, 1821) -  East and Southeast Australia

Description
The brown cuckoo-dove is from  in length. The feathers are a rich rusty-brown colour, and the short wings, long tail and back are darker. The males tend to have a slight rose/green colouration on their nape and neck.

The call of this dove is a very loud "whoop-a whoop" with some differences depending on the subspecies involved.

The brown cuckoo-dove inhabits rainforest, woodland, scrubland and rainforest regrowth areas.

The doves can often be seen in pairs or groups. Its diet consists of berries from both native plants and introduced weed species. They can be nomadic, depending on the supplies of food. They tend to fly short distances and low to the ground with great strength.

Breeding occurs in spring and summer. The nest is a flat platform of sticks and vines, either in a fork of a tree or on top of a low tree. One, creamy white, egg is laid.

title: Abel el'toro

text:
Abel Polo, known by his stage name Abel el'toro (born 17 June 1971), is a DJ, producer and promoter from Sydney, Australia.

Biography

Early life
Polo describes his Spanish-Australian family as "an artistic family who encouraged creative freedom and individuality".

Polo was trained in classical piano as a child, but fell in love with hip hop culture at an early age. He learnt how to breakdance at high school, and entered a Sydney breakdancing competition that was judged by Lucinda Dickey—played "Kelly" in the movie Breakin—and subsequently won second prize.

In 1986, during the birth of house and acid house, Polo attended his first dance party, "R.A.T", which was held at Bondi Pavilion. The R.A.T. experience inspired him to explore the art of DJ mixing with two turntables and vinyl records in his parents garage.

DJ career
Polo made the transition to professional DJing and promotion in 1991—his first DJ gig was at "The Trap Door" in Sydney. Abel was voted "DJ of the Year" by E-CLIPSE Rave Radio in 1992, and the following year, his resident club night, "Stun" at Neo Pharaoh, was declared 1993's "Techno Club of the Year" by 3D World Magazine.

Polo later headlined Sydney's biggest rave parties and festivals, along with DJs Nick the Fish, Jumping Jack, Pee Wee Ferris, GT, Sugar Ray, Paul Holden and Phil Smart.

In 1994, Polo toured through India, including Goa and Pune, DJing alongside friend Ray Castle, Raja Ram and Sven Vath. In 1999, Polo embarked on a European tour to visit Spain, and played at Amnesia's Cream in Ibiza. Spain was followed by the Love Parade in Berlin, Germany, and then London, England and Zurich, Switzerland. In 2001, Polo completed a tour of Hong Kong.

In addition to playing at Sydney's Big Day Out and Homebake music festivals, Polo supported the following touring acts at the Hordern Pavilion: The Chemical Brothers, Primal Scream, Carl Cox, Judge Jules, The Black Eyed Peas, Basement Jaxx, Daft Punk, Speedy J, Fatboy Slim, Paul Van Dyk, Laurent Garnier, The Shamen, The ORB, DJ Misjah & DJ Tim, Lenny Dee, DJ Slipmatt, Jeff Mills, Joey Beltram, DJ Sasha, John Digweed and Deep Dish.

Promoter career
Polo's first event as a promoter was the rave, "All in the Bubble of Yum". Polo's early success in the promotion of events led him to partner with Sydney DJ Ming D for the "Happy Valley" event held at Windsor, New South Wales, Australia, in 1991. Along with his brother Alex Polo, he catered to Sydney's rave scene by organising parties in obscure venues, such as the "Midnight Madness" raves of the 1990s (held at the Darling Harbour Fun Park).

Polo later promoted various parties, including "Bent", held at the Cell Block Theatre and The Australian Technology Park; "Platform 31", held at Central Station's disused Mortuary Railway station; and "Watch Wyle U Dance", held at The Footbridge Theatre, Sydney University. By the middle of the 1990s, Polo and friend DJ Oscar Goldman decided that Sydney needed a midweek club night where "new school" breakbeat and "old school" hip hop could be heard—"Warm Up" at Mr Goodbar was the result. Warm Up, which lasted for six years, helped to launch several Australian DJ careers, and featured regular appearances by The Rapid Fire Breakers.

Other projects
Polo's first band "The Hoong & I" played a series of live shows from 1994 to 1999, including The Byron Bay Arts and Music Festival, in Byron Bay, Australia, and The Strawberry Fields festival in the Gold Coast hinterland, Australia.

Polo later formed the band "The Boogaloo Crew" in 2001, which recently performed at an ARIA Awards after-party with Jessica Mauboy and Kimbra. As of 2014, the Boogaloo Crew remains active and supported shows for Dimitri from Paris and Pete Tong, as well as club and corporate events, such as Cargo Bar, Home, a Bacardi event at Randwick Racecourse, Sydney, and a Google event at Fox Studios, Sydney.

Personal life
Polo enjoys snowboarding and embarked on a DJ/snowboarding tour with Snow Wave New Zealand (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown), as well as Mt Hotham, Victoria, Australia, and Sydney's Perisher Valley.

title: Eastern barn owl

text:
The eastern barn owl (Tyto javanica) is usually considered a subspecies group and together with the American barn owl group, the western barn owl group, and sometimes the Andaman masked owl make up the barn owl.  The cosmopolitan barn owl is recognized by most taxonomic authorities. A few (including the International Ornithologists' Union) separate them into distinct species, as is done here. The eastern barn owl is native to southeastern Asia and Australasia.

The eastern barn owl is nocturnal over most of its range, but in some Pacific islands, it also hunts by day. They specialise in hunting animals on the ground, and nearly all of their food consists of small mammals which they locate by sound, their hearing being very acute. They mate for life unless one of the pair is killed, after which a new pair bond may be formed. Breeding takes place at varying times of year according to locality, with a clutch, averaging about four eggs, being laid in a nest in a tree hollow, old building or fissure in a cliff. The female does all the incubation, and she and the young chicks are reliant on the male for food. When large numbers of small prey are readily available, barn owl populations can expand rapidly.

König proposed that Tyto alba delicatula should be split off as a separate species, to be known as the eastern barn owl, which would include the subspecies T. d. sumbaensis, T. d. meeki, T. d. crassirostris and T. d. interposita.

Taxonomy
The eastern barn owl was formally described in 1788 by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin in his revised and expanded edition of Carl Linnaeus's Systema Naturae. He placed it with the other owls in the genus Strix and coined the binomial name Strix javanica. Gmelin based his description on the "Nachteule von Java" that had been described  in 1787 by the German botanist Friedrich von Wurmb. The eastern barn owl is now placed with 16 other owls in the genus Tyto that was introduced in 1828 by the Swedish naturalist Gustaf Johan Billberg.

The barn owl (Tyto alba) was formerly considered to have a global distribution with around 28 subspecies. In the list of birds maintained by Frank Gill, Pamela Rasmussen and David Donsker on behalf of the International Ornithological Committee (IOC) the barn owl is now split into four species: the western barn owl (Tyto alba) (10 subspecies), the American barn owl (Tyto furcata) (12 subspecies), the eastern barn owl (Tyto javanica) (7 subspecies) and the Andaman masked owl (Tyto deroepstorffi). This arrangement is followed here. Some support for this split was provided by a molecular phylogenetic study by Vera Uva and collaborators published in 2018 that compared the DNA sequences of three mitochondrial and one nuclear loci. This split has not been adopted by other taxonomic authorities such as the Clements Checklist of Birds of the World maintained by members of Cornell University or by the list maintained by BirdLife International that is used by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Seven subspecies are recognised: In Handbook of Birds of the World, Volume 5: Barn-owls to Hummingbirds, the following subspecies are listed:

Distribution
The eastern barn owl occurs on the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Australia, and many Pacific Islands. In general it is considered to be sedentary, and indeed many individuals, having taken up residence in a particular location, remain there even when better foraging areas nearby become vacant.

In Australia there is some migration as the birds move towards the northern coast in the dry season and southward in the wet, and also nomadic movements in association with rodent plagues. Occasionally, some of these birds turn up on Norfolk Island, Lord Howe Island or New Zealand, showing that crossing the ocean is not beyond their capabilities. In 2008, eastern barn owls were recorded for the first time breeding in New Zealand.

Behaviour and ecology

Like most owls, the barn owl is nocturnal, relying on its acute sense of hearing when hunting in complete darkness. It often becomes active shortly before dusk and can sometimes be seen during the day when relocating from one roosting site to another. On various Pacific Islands and perhaps elsewhere, it sometimes hunts by day. This practice may depend on whether the owl is mobbed by other birds if it emerges in daylight.

The barn owl is a bird of open country such as farmland or grassland with some interspersed woodland, usually at altitudes below  but occasionally as high as  in the tropics. This owl prefers to hunt along the edges of woods or in rough grass strips adjoining pasture. It has an effortless wavering flight as it quarters the ground, alert to the sounds made by potential prey. Like most owls, the barn owl flies silently; tiny serrations on the leading edges of its flight feathers and a hairlike fringe to the trailing edges help to break up the flow of air over the wings, thereby reducing turbulence and the noise that accompanies it. Hairlike extensions to the barbules of its feathers, which give the plumage a soft feel, also minimise noise produced during wingbeats.

Items consumed can be ascertained from identifying the prey fragments in the pellets of indigestible matter that the bird regurgitates. Studies of diet have been made in most parts of the bird's range, and in moist temperate areas over 90% of the prey tends to be small mammals, whereas in hot, dry, unproductive areas, the proportion is lower, and a great variety of other creatures are eaten depending on local abundance. Most prey is terrestrial but bats and birds are also taken, as well as lizards, amphibians and insects. Even when they are plentiful and other prey scarce, earthworms do not seem to be consumed.

Mice and rats form the main foodstuffs in the tropics, subtropics and Australia. Barn owls are usually more specialist feeders in productive areas and generalists in drier areas. Locally superabundant rodent species in the weight class of several grams per individual usually make up the single largest proportion of prey.
The barn owl hunts by flying slowly, quartering the ground and hovering over spots that may conceal prey. It may also use branches, fence posts or other lookouts to scan its surroundings, and this is the main means of prey location in the oil palm plantations of Malaysia. The bird has long, broad wings, enabling it to manoeuvre and turn abruptly. Its legs and toes are long and slender which improves its ability to forage among dense foliage or beneath the snow and gives it a wide spread of talons when attacking prey. Studies have shown that an individual barn owl may eat one or more voles (or their equivalent) per night, equivalent to about twenty-three percent of the bird's bodyweight. Excess food is often cached at roosting sites and can be used when food is scarce.

On bird-rich islands, a barn owl might include some fifteen to twenty percent of birds in its diet.

The barn owl has acute hearing, with ears placed asymmetrically. This improves detection of sound position and distance and the bird does not require sight to hunt. The facial disc plays a part in this process, as is shown by the fact that with the ruff feathers removed, the bird can still locate the source in azimuth but fails to do so in elevation. Hunting nocturnally or crepuscularly, this bird can target its prey and dive to the ground, penetrating its talons through snow, grass or brush to seize small creatures with deadly accuracy. Compared to other owls of similar size, the barn owl has a much higher metabolic rate, requiring relatively more food. Weight for weight, barn owls consume more rodents—often regarded as pests by humans—than possibly any other creature. This makes the barn owl one of the most economically valuable wildlife animals for agriculture.

Breeding
Barn owls living in tropical regions can breed at any time of year, but some seasonality in nesting is still evident. Where there are distinct wet and dry seasons, egg-laying usually takes place during the dry season, with increased rodent prey becoming available to the birds as the vegetation dies off. In arid regions, such as parts of Australia, breeding may be irregular and may happen in wet periods, triggered by temporary increases in the populations of small mammals.

Females are ready to breed at ten to eleven months of age although males sometimes wait till the following year. Barn owls are usually monogamous, sticking to one partner for life unless one of the pair dies. During the non-breeding season they may roost separately, but as the breeding season approaches they return to their established nesting site, showing considerable site fidelity. In colder climates, in harsh weather and where winter food supplies may be scarce, they may roost in farm buildings and in barns between hay bales, but they then run the risk that their selected nesting hole may be taken over by some other, earlier-nesting species. Single males may establish feeding territories, patrolling the hunting areas, occasionally stopping to hover, and perching on lofty eminences where they screech to attract a mate. Where a female has lost her mate but maintained her breeding site, she usually seems to manage to attract a new spouse.

Once a pair-bond has been formed, the male will make short flights at dusk around the nesting and roosting sites and then longer circuits to establish a home range. When he is later joined by the female, there is much chasing, turning and twisting in flight, and frequent screeches, the male's being high-pitched and tremulous and the female's lower and harsher. At later stages of courtship, the male emerges at dusk, climbs high into the sky and then swoops back to the vicinity of the female at speed. He then sets off to forage. The female meanwhile sits in an eminent position and preens, returning to the nest a minute or two before the male arrives with food for her.  Such feeding behaviour of the female by the male is common, helps build the pair-bond and increases the female's fitness before egg-laying commences.

Barn owls are cavity nesters. They choose holes in trees, and fissures in cliff faces.   No nesting material is used as such but, as the female sits incubating the eggs, she draws in the dry furry material of which her regurgitated pellets are composed, so that by the time the chicks are hatched, they are surrounded by a carpet of shredded pellets.

Before commencing laying, the female spends much time near the nest and is entirely provisioned by the male. Meanwhile, the male roosts nearby and may cache any prey that is surplus to their requirements. When the female has reached peak weight, the male provides a ritual presentation of food and copulation occurs at the nest. The female lays eggs on alternate days and the clutch size averages about five eggs (range two to nine). The eggs are chalky white, somewhat elliptical and about the size of bantam's eggs, and incubation begins as soon as the first egg is laid. While she is sitting on the nest, the male is constantly bringing more provisions and they may pile up beside the female. The incubation period is about thirty days, hatching takes place over a prolonged period and the youngest chick may be several weeks younger than its oldest sibling. In years with plentiful supplies of food, there may be a hatching success rate of about 75%. The male continues to copulate with the female when he brings food which makes the newly hatched chicks vulnerable to injury.

The chicks are at first covered with greyish-white down and develop rapidly. Within a week they can hold their heads up and shuffle around in the nest. The female tears up the food brought by the male and distributes it to the chicks. Initially these make a "chittering" sound but this soon changes into a food-demanding "snore". By two weeks old they are already half their adult weight and look naked as the amount of down is insufficient to cover their growing bodies. By three weeks old, quills are starting to push through the skin and the chicks stand, making snoring noises with wings raised and tail stumps waggling, begging for food items which are now given whole. The male is the main provider of food until all the chicks are at least four weeks old at which time the female begins to leave the nest and starts to roost elsewhere. By the sixth week the chicks are as big as the adults but have slimmed down somewhat by the ninth week when they are fully fledged and start leaving the nest briefly themselves. They are still dependent on the parent birds until about thirteen weeks and receive training from the female in finding, and eventually catching, prey.

Moulting
Feathers become abraded over time and all birds need to replace them at intervals. Barn owls are particularly dependent on their ability to fly quietly and manoeuvre efficiently, and in temperate areas their prolonged moult lasts through three phases over a period of two years. The female starts to moult while incubating the eggs and brooding the chicks, a time when the male feeds her so she does not need to fly much. The first primary feather to be shed is the central one, number 6, and it has regrown completely by the time the female resumes hunting. Feathers 4, 5, 7 and 8 are dropped at a similar time the following year and feathers 1, 2, 3, 9 and 10 in the bird's third year of adulthood. The secondary and tail feathers are lost and replaced over a similar timescale, again starting while incubation is taking place. In the case of the tail, the two outermost tail feathers are first shed followed by the two central ones, the other tail feathers being moulted the following year.

In temperate areas, the male owl moults rather later in the year than the female, at a time when there is an abundance of food, the female has recommenced hunting and the demands of the chicks are lessening. Unmated males without family responsibilities often start losing feathers earlier in the year. The moult follows a similar prolonged pattern to that of the female and the first sign that the male is moulting is often when a tail feather has been dropped at the roost. A consequence of moulting is the loss of thermal insulation. This is of little importance in the tropics and barn owls here usually moult a complete complement of flight feathers annually. The hot-climate moult may still take place over a long period but is usually concentrated at a particular time of year outside the breeding season.
>

When disturbed at its roosting site, an angry barn owl lowers its head and sways it from side to side, or the head may be lowered and stretched forward and the wings drooped while the bird emits hisses and makes snapping noises with its beak. A defensive attitude involves lying flat on the ground or crouching with wings spread out.

Lifespan
Unusually for such a medium-sized carnivorous animal, the barn owl exhibits r-selection, producing large number of offspring with a high growth rate, many of which have a relatively low probability of surviving to adulthood. While wild barn owls are thus decidedly short-lived, the actual longevity of the species is much higher – captive individuals may reach twenty years of age or more. But occasionally, a wild bird reaches an advanced age. Taking into account such extremely long-lived individuals, the average lifespan is about four years, and statistically two-thirds to three-quarters of all adults survive from one year to the next.

The most significant cause of death in temperate areas is likely to be starvation, particularly over the autumn and winter period when first year birds are still perfecting their hunting skills. In northern and upland areas, there is some correlation between mortality in older birds and adverse weather, deep-lying snow and prolonged low temperatures. Collision with road vehicles is another cause of mortality, and may result when birds forage on mown verges. Some of these birds are in poor condition and may have been less able to evade oncoming vehicles than fit individuals would have been. Historically, many deaths were caused by the use of pesticides, and this may still be the case in some parts of the world.

Status and conservation

In some areas, it may be an insufficiency of suitable nesting sites that is the factor limiting barn owl numbers. The provision of nest boxes under the eaves of buildings and in other locations can be very successful in increasing the local population. In Malaysia, large areas of rainforest were felled to make way for oil palm plantations and with few tree cavities for breeding, the barn owl population, with its ability to control rodent pests, diminished. The provision of two hundred nest boxes in a trial saw almost one hundred percent occupancy and as the programme expanded, the plantations supported one of the densest barn owl populations in the world.  Similarly, providing nesting boxes has increased the number of barn owls in rice-growing areas of Malaysia where the rodents do much damage to the crop. However, although barn owl numbers have increased in both these instances, it is unclear as to how effective this biological control of the rats is as compared to the trapping and baiting that occurred previously.

title: Jim McCashney

text:
James Leonard McCashney (30 December 1900 – 26 May 1967) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Early life
McCashney was the youngest of ten children born to Henry William McCashney and Mary Anne Robson. McCashney's family owned a sawmill at Trentham and he commenced his football career playing with the Trentham club.

Football career
In 1920 he joined Hawthorn, who were at that stage in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), and quickly cemented a place in the team, predominantly playing on the wing. McCashney was a member of Hawthorn's team for their first ever VFL game in 1925.

The Argus described his retirement after the 1927 VFL season:
"McCashney, having taken unto himself a wife, has also retired. His record with the club has been remarkable. At one stage he played 106 games without a break, and then was stopped by accident. Altogether he played 134 games for Hawthorn. He was small but he was good, and his place will be missed."

In 1929 McCashney returned to football as the captain and coach of Sandringham Football Club in their first year in the VFA. He resigned for personal reasons towards the end of the season.

Personal life
Jim McCashney married Rosie Margurita Merle Capuano on 7 March 1928 and they had two children together. Two of his brothers, John McCashney (South Melbourne) and Frank McCashney (), also played VFL football.

Career outside football
Outside football, McCashney had a long and distinguished career within the Victorian Department of Agriculture. Commencing in 1917, he became an expert in milk supply and was instrumental in the introduction of milk pasteurization legislation in 1943. He became Assistant Secretary of the department in 1959 and then Secretary of the department in 1962 before his retirement in 1965.

Jim McCashney died on 26 May 1967 and was cremated at Springvale Botanical Cemetery.

title: Panje Mangesh Rao

text:
Panje Mangesh Rao (1874–1937) was an Indian writer and poet who wrote short stories, essays, poems and children's rhymes in Kannada. He is known as 'kavishishya'. He wrote Huthariya haadu, Naagara haave, Koti chennaya, Gudugudu Gummata Devaru, Maathaado raamappa.

Life
Mangesh Rao's ancestors hailed from Panje, now in Dakshina Kannada. He was born on 22 February 1874 to Ramappayya and Seethamma, Chitrapur Saraswat Konkani Brahmins, and had six siblings. After finishing primary schooling, in Bantwal, he had to go to Mangalore to study in high school. His proficiency in Kannada brought him a Kannada translator's job, on a monthly salary of twenty rupees, even before he completed graduation. He married Girijabai and had six children. They took active interest in his literary pursuits and his love of music. Later he completed his B.A. degree and got a teacher's diploma as well. He was also appointed Inspector of schools. In 1934, he was elected President of All India Kannada Conference held at Raichur, then under the Nizam of Hyderabad's rule. At the age of sixty-three, he died of pneumonia in 1937. Distinguished littérateurs such as Masti Venkatesh Iyengar, Shivaram Karanth and Kuvempu had paid rich tribute in moving terms. His Great Grandson is journalist Shiv Aroor.

Works
Mangesh Rao is credited with the creation of Navodaya literature in Kannada. He wrote in both Konkani and Kannada. He had worked on drama, poetry, translations and other branches of literature. Among his most famous compositions are Nagarahave! (Snake) a popular children's rhyme taught in primary schools like Mina Mina minuguva nakshatra(Kannada version of twinke twinkle little star. Huttari Hadu (Harvest Song), another famous composition, praises the Kodava people and their land Kodagu. He also helped popularise the Tulu legend, Koti and Chennayya. Tenkanagaliyata (Ode to southern Wind) is yet another popular composition of Mangesh Rao's.

title: Unified Diagnostic Services

text:
Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) is a diagnostic communication protocol used in electronic control units (ECUs) within automotive electronics, which is specified in the ISO 14229-1. It is derived from ISO 14230-3 (KWP2000) and the now obsolete ISO 15765-3 (Diagnostic Communication over Controller Area Network (DoCAN)). 'Unified' in this context means that it is an international and not a company-specific standard. By now this communication protocol is used in all new ECUs made by Tier 1 suppliers of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and is incorporated into other standards, such as AUTOSAR. The ECUs in modern vehicles control nearly all functions, including electronic fuel injection (EFI), engine control, the transmission, anti-lock braking system, door locks, braking, window operation, and more.

Diagnostic tools are able to contact all ECUs installed in a vehicle, which has UDS services enabled. In contrast to the CAN bus protocol, which only uses the first and second layers of the OSI model, UDS utilizes the fifth and seventh layers of the OSI model. The Service ID (SID) and the parameters associated with the services are contained in the payload of a message frame.

Modern vehicles have a diagnostic interface for off-board diagnostics, which makes it possible to connect a computer (client) or diagnostics tool, which is referred to as tester, to the communication system of the vehicle. Thus, UDS requests can be sent to the controllers which must provide a response (this may be positive or negative). This makes it possible to interrogate the fault memory of the individual control units, to update them with new firmware, have low-level interaction with their hardware (e.g. to turn a specific output on or off), or to make use of special functions (referred to as routines) to attempt to understand the environment and operating conditions of an ECU to be able to diagnose faulty or otherwise undesirable behavior.

title: Battle off Fairhaven

text:
The Battle off Fairhaven was the first naval engagement of the American Revolutionary War.  It took place on May 14, 1775, in Buzzards Bay off Fairhaven, Massachusetts (formerly known as Dartmouth, Massachusetts) and resulted in Patriot militia retrieving two vessels that had been captured by . The patriots also captured the 13 man crew of the Royal Navy, the first naval prisoners of the war.

Context
On April 19, 1775, the American Revolutionary War began with the Battles of Lexington and Concord in the British Province of Massachusetts Bay. Following the battle, the militia that had mustered to oppose the British besieged the city of Boston where the British troops were located.

On 13 May 1775, HMS Falcon caught two patriot vessels whose owners, Jesse Barlow and Simeon Wing—the latter's vessel commanded by his son Thomas—were from Sandwich, Massachusetts.

Engagement
A group of 30 patriots from Fairhaven were led by Captain Daniel Egery and Captain Nathaniel Pope of Fairhaven in the sloop Success (40 tons). This militia also included Benjamin Spooner, Noah Stoddard and Barnabas Hammond. They retrieved two patriot vessels captured by the British crew of Captain John Linzee (Lindsey), Royal Navy commander of HMS Falcon (14 guns, 110 men).
The patriots took 13 British crew, the first naval prisoners of the war; two of them were wounded and one of them died.

The people of Fairhaven went on to capture additional British ships. Privateers and others operating out of Fairhaven continued to harass the British Navy throughout the war.

title: Dave Akam

text:
David J. Akam (born 2 November 1960, Camberwell, London) is a retired track and road cyclist. He was active professionally between 1984 and 1987.

Early life
David Akam was a track and road cyclist. He was a time-trial specialist of some repute. He was introduced to cycling by his P.E. teacher at Forest Hill school, South London – the legendary British lanterne rouge John Clarey. Akam's early successes in cycling included three British National Track Championships and the Junior Individual Time Trial Road Championship. In 1978 Akam was selected for the English track team in the Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, competing in the 4,000 metres Individual Pursuit. Having trained for months with the 1980 Olympic pursuit team squad, Akam fractured his hip in a kermesse crash, putting him out of contention. Akam later said he was "incensed" to not even be named as a reserve. However, that July the 19-year-old Akam broke the British 10-mile time trial record becoming the first ever rider to clock in at under 20 minutes (the record has since been held by Graeme Obree, Bradley Wiggins and Alex Dowsett). The same year he also won the Goodwood Classic individual time trial in a time of 1 hour 2 minutes and 39 seconds – a time that has never been beaten.

Over the next three years, from 1981 to 1983, Akam lived and raced abroad, first in the Netherlands for the Jan Van Erp team, and then France, building a reputation as an aggressive rider with a talent for time trialling. In his second year, Akam won 13 races including the Grand Prix de France, a time trial whose previous winners include Jacques Anquetil, Stephen Roche and Chris Boardman.

In 1983, Akam moved his racing base to France, joining the famous ACBB team, a Parisian amateur team which had helped the likes of Sean Yates and Stephen Roche to the professional ranks. Of this time Akam remembers "I started the season like a maniac, winning five of the eight training races we rode in the South of France. I then rode three Classics and won the three-day Tour de l'Essone stage race". During that year's Tour of Norway, Akam caught the eye of Mercier, Peugeot and Italian legend Francesco Moser, according to Akam, "I must have impressed him for he said if I did a ride in the GP de Nations he would give me a place in his Gis team as a pro". Akam subsequently won the Chrono des Nations and Moser kept his side of the bargain.

Professional career
In 1984 he was signed by the renowned Italian team Gis Gelati to help the Italian hero win his first Giro d'Italia. Rumour has it that Akam was signed not only for his big engine, but also due to the fact he rode the same bike as Moser. Akam was immediately nicknamed "Rosso" on account of his red hair. Moser, at the time, was the holder of the hour record. While in Italy, Akam lived with Moser's mother. Shortly after joining Gis Gelati Akam rode for Moser in the Vuelta a España after around only three weeks worth of training – Moser finished 10th overall and Akam pulled out after Stage 11. The team prepared for the 1984 Giro by winning the Team Time Trial event, the Cronostaffetta, and by racing the Tirreno–Adriatico in which Akam showed his form by coming 5th in the prologue time trial. Akam also produced a strong ride at the Giro del Trentino to cement his place on the Giro team. At the Giro, Akam played a key role in delivering Moser to first place in Verona and the first and only pink jersey of Moser's career at the Giro d'Italia. Akam rode most of the Giro on the front for Moser and, even as the tour came to a close, Akam's form was such that he finished 14th in the final stage individual time trial. Until Chris Froome's victory in 34 years later, Akam was the last Briton to ride on a Giro winner's team.

In 1985 Akam was given an extension to his contract and began his preparations for the Giro well by putting in two strong time trial performances at the Tirreno–Adriatico. He again rode the Giro but this time he withdrew after Stage 9 due to a crash. Akam also rode alongside the legendary classics specialist Roger De Vlaeminck whilst at Gis Gelati.

Akam joined the Dutch team PDM–Concorde in 1986 to ride for Pedro Delgado. Akam was offered another extension but in 1987 Akam opted to join the British outfit ANC-Halfords Cycling Team.

Akam retired from cycling shortly afterwards, his career cut short by illness. Akam had raced the Giro, the Vuelta, Paris–Roubaix and Milan–San Remo. Throughout his career, Akam suffered from a mystery illness, he later stated "Moser could not work out why I would be going great guns one day and then doing nothing". Akam on reflection states that his dream move in 1984 to Gis Gelati came too soon because he had no time to deal with his health problems – later diagnosed as hepatitis and a liver that functioned at only 70%.

title: Bianca Williams

text:
Bianca Williams (born 18 December 1993) is a British athlete. She competed for England at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, where she won bronze medals in the 200 m, and in the 4 × 100 m relay. She has also won two medals as part of the British team at the IAAF World Relays; with silver in the 4 × 200 m in 2014, and bronze in the 4 × 100 m in 2015. She ranks fifth on the UK all-time list at 200m with her best of 22.45 secs.

Personal life
Williams is in a relationship with the Portuguese sprinter Ricardo dos Santos with whom she has a son, born in 2020.

2020 police incident
On 4 July 2020, Williams and dos Santos accused the Metropolitan Police of racial profiling after having their car stopped and searched whilst returning from a training session. Williams uploaded a video of them both being detained and searched. After the incident occurred, Linford Christie shared Williams' video of the incident on Twitter, with the comment "Racist police aren't just in America #BLM". Williams subsequently spoke with The Times and accused the police of racial profiling and acting violently towards her family. Keir Starmer said on LBC that senior Met officers should feel “very uncomfortable” about the force's handling of the case.

The Met released a statement, saying the vehicle Williams was travelling in had been on the wrong side of the road, and that the driver had sped off when asked to stop. They also said the Directorate of Professional Standards had reviewed footage from social media and officers' bodycams, and were satisfied there was no concern around the officers' conduct involved in the incident. On 7 July 2020, the Met voluntarily referred the incident to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, for independent investigation into the incident. Additionally, they stated that they were now treating the matter as a 'public complaint'.

On 1 July 2021, it was announced that three of the six officers involved were under investigation for gross misconduct. In January 2023, it was reported that five officers were to face a gross misconduct hearing, and that an investigator at the IOPC resigned in November 2020, complaining that her investigation of the incident had been "watered down". The disciplinary hearing against the five officers, who deny the allegations, began on 18 September 2023. Two of the five officers were found guilty of gross misconduct in that they had lied about smelling cannabis. None of the officers were found guilty of misconduct in relation to the stopping of the vehicle, or the handcuffing of the couple. The two officers found guilty of gross misconduct were dismissed. After the officers were sacked, a crowdfunding page was set up for the officers' benefit. As at 30 October 2023, more than £140,000 had been raised for them. Williams said she was "shocked with the amount of money that’s been raised".

title: William Lane-Joynt

text:
William Lane-Joynt (1824-1895) was an Irish barrister and politician, and is the only person to have been mayor of both Limerick and Dublin.

Early life and family
William Lane-Joynt was born in Limerick on 26 December 1824. His parents were Arabella (née Lane) and William Persse Joynt. His father was a merchant. On his paternal side, Lane-Joynt was a cousin of Augusta, Lady Gregory. He was sworn as a solicitor in 1843, having trained in Dublin under Sir Matthew Barrington. By the late 1840s, he had returned to Limerick, and established his practice at 15 Thomas Street and lived at 86 O'Connell Street. He married Jane Russell in 1854, and the couple had five sons and a daughter. One son, Richard, became a surgeon, and another, William, a barrister and philatelist.

Career

Limerick
As a young man, Lane-Joynt was a Young Irelander, but later joined the Liberal party and was their chief Irish election agent. He was elected to Limerick Corporation for the Abbey Ward prior to being elected mayor in 1862. During his term, he refused a knighthood from George Howard, 7th Earl of Carlisle, the lord lieutenant. He was a Protestant, but he supported the Catholic clergy and improved tenants' rights as well as the foundation of a Catholic university and the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland. He did oppose Home Rule, which led to him resigning from the Liberal party in 1886. He was clerk of the crown for Limerick from 1857 to 1869, served as the Limerick Corporation's land agent and solicitor, and as a member of the Limerick Harbour Commissioners. In 1848 he was chair of the Limerick Celtic Society and in 1853 served as President of the Limerick Literary and Scientific Society. He was a patron of the Limerick Mechanics' Institute, providing funding for an evening adult school teacher. He proposed that a Limerick Athenaeum should be established, and bought the lease in 1854 of the former headquarters of St Michael's parish commissioners on Cecil Street. There he oversaw the construction of a lecture theatre that could hold 600 people. Opened in 1856, Lane-Joynt was the inaugural president of the Limerick Athenaeum. He later served as vice-president of the Association of Librarians, and saw the publication of Denis Florence MacCarthy's complete works in 1881.

Dublin
Lane-Joynt resigned in late 1863 from the Limerick Corporation, moving to Grange Abbey, Raheny, Dublin. He was elected to Dublin Corporation in for the Rotunda ward in 1864, initially as a councillor and then as an alderman. He sat on the Port and Docks Board, and from 1865 was Justice of the Peace for County Dublin and deputy lieutenant of Dublin. In 1867, he was elected Lord Mayor of Dublin. That year he attended the Great Exhibition in Paris and received the Legion of Honour by Napoleon III. In 1869, he resigned from the Dublin Corporation having been appointed the Crown and Treasury Solicitor, a position he held until its abolition in 1887. He had a residence at Grange Abbey, as well as at Lower Gardiner Street and Merrion Square.

In the early 1880s, Lane-Joynt sat on the Mansion House Relief Committee which oversaw the distribution of aid in the west of Ireland. Any residual funds were directed towards the building of landing slips and piers in the most dangerous fishing regions, under the direction of Lane-Joynt. He was also a member of the board of Irish Lights, and saw the construction of a lighthouse at the entrance to Kilronan Harbour, Inishmore.

County Clare
From 1873, he was estate agent for Henry White, 1st Baron Annaly, spending his summers in Clareville House, County Clare. There he often served on the local grand jury, and Keeper of the Hanaper and District Lieutenant for the county. From 1894, he was the county's High Sheriff. He advocated to White that he should provide his tenants with a free supply of water, which resulted in a public water fountain in Ballyvaughan being erected in 1875. He did also represent the White family in court, during the course of which a precedent was set that farms that could not be tilled were not governed by the Land Acts, which deprived many of the Whites' tenants' fair rent protections.

Later life
Lane-Joynt suffered with bronchitis later in life, and spent his winters abroad. While holding a loaded revolver on 9 December 1894, the gun exploded and blew off his little finger. He underwent surgery, but died from complications on 3 January 1895, at his residence at 43 Merrion Square, Dublin. He buried in St John's churchyard, Limerick. A stained glass window commemorating Lane-Joynt was erected in St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin.

title: Robert Story (botanist)

text:
Robert (Bob) Story  (19 August 1913 Fort Beaufort – 20 February 1999 Australia) was a South African botanist and ecologist. His father, who died in 1925, was a farm manager who had studied at Edinburgh University and obtained a Diploma in Agriculture.

After spending 1926-30 at Grey High School in Port Elizabeth, Robert Story attended Rhodes University from 1931-33 where he obtained a B.Sc., after which he enrolled at Witwatersrand University from 1934-35 where he graduated with an M.Sc. and was later awarded a D.Sc. His first appointment was to the Leeuwkuil Pasture Research Station near Vereeniging in 1936. During World War II he saw service in Madagascar, North Africa and Italy. At the close of the War in 1945 he was transferred to the Botanical Survey Section of the Division of Botany and stationed at Grahamstown. Here he carried out a botanical survey of the Keiskammahoek District and it was published as 'Botanical Survey of South Africa Memoir No. 27' in 1952. In the same year he relocated to Pretoria as Officer in Charge of the Botanical Survey Section.

He accompanied the Harvard-Smithsonian-Peabody expedition to Botswana and South-West Africa in 1955, revisiting the region in 1956 and 1958 and travelling through the Kaokoveld to the Kunene River. As a result of these trips he published 'Some Plants Used by the Bushmen in Obtaining Food and Water' in 1958 as 'Botanical Survey of South Africa Memoir No. 30'.

Robert Story with his wife Sybil and daughters emigrated to Australia in July 1959 where he took up a position in Canberra with the Land Use Research Division of CSIRO as ecologist and botanist. He was appalled at the environmental damage that was being done in the Hunter Valley, where eucalypts were felled and left to rot. During 1969-70 he was posted to Patagonia on an environmental training mission, a trip which in his opinion was a waste of time. He was convinced that rampant population growth lay at the root of most environmental problems. He, Nancy Burbidge, Alec Baillie Costin and a few other botanists were instrumental in the 1960 founding of the National Parks Association of the Australian Capital Territory, and was one of the first Presidents of the NPA in the 1960s, as well as being a founding member of the Kosciuszko Huts Association and its President during the years 1973-76. He was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 1989 for "service to conservation and national parks".

His specimens number some 5000, and were collected in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. He is commemorated in Acacia storyi Tindale and Paenula storyi Orchard.

title: Die Lügend von S. Johanne Chrysostomo

text:
Die Lügend von S. Johanne Chrysostomo, first published by Martin Luther in 1537, is an edition of the late mediaeval Life of John Chrysostom as a hermit, characterised by Luther's sceptical, and often sarcastic, marginal commentary. It was influential on the decline of the literary form of the Christian legendary.

Content

Luther dedicated his edition ironically to the Roman Catholic clerics at the Council of Mantua, including the Pope.

The title of the edition is a pun on early modern German Legend ('hagiography'), and the German word lügend which means 'lying' (in the sense of saying things which are not true). This kind of pun is characteristic of Reformation-period satire and polemic. Luther provided his edition with a critical, and even sarcastic, marginal commentary which was intended to expose the implausibility of events recounted in the legend. Luther's preface accused 'the Roman church not only of having propagated these lies but also of rewarding with indulgences the faithful who read them'.

Bibliographic history and sources

Luther published his edition in 1537 in Wittenberg, Augsburg, and Strassburg; the full title was Die Lügend von S. Johanne Chrysostomo, an die Heiligen Veter jnn dem vermeinten Concilio zu Mantua, durch D. Marti. Luther gesand. His source text was one of the many editions of the German collection of saints' lives Der Heiligen Leben, presumably a redaction similar to the 1513 imprint from Augsburg by Johann Otmar.

Modern editions

The Lügend is number 50 in the Weimar edition of Martin Luther's works.

title: Robert F. Worley

text:
Robert F. Worley (October 10, 1919 – July 23, 1968) was a United States Air Force major general and fighter pilot who was killed in action in 1968, in South Vietnam. General Worley was one of three U.S. Air Force general officers (pilots) who were casualties of the Vietnam War.

Early life
General Worley was born in Riverside, California.

US Air Force career
Worley began his military career in October 1940 at March Field, California and graduated from pilot training at Brooks Field, Texas, in May 1941, and was commissioned a second lieutenant. During the next two years he served at Mitchel Field, New York, Bolling Field, Washington, D.C. and Baltimore Municipal Airport as a fighter pilot and as a squadron commander.

World War II
During World War II, he participated in the North African, Sicily, and Italian campaigns, and the Pacific theater campaigns. His combat record included 120 aerial missions with 215 combat hours in the P-40 and P-47 fighter planes. While in command of the 314th Fighter Squadron based in North Africa, Captain Worley was shot down on his first mission while flying close air support for US ground troops in the African desert, he walked back through the enemy lines and returned to his unit. Promoted to major, he went on to command the 1st Fighter Squadron in the Pacific War.

Following World War II, he helped organize and commanded the jet transitional school at Williams Field, Arizona.

Vietnam War and death
General Worley commanded the 831st Air Division at George Air Force Base, California and was then assigned to Tactical Air Command headquarters on 30 December 1964 as assistant deputy for operations, command and control. He then transferred to Twelfth Air Force headquarters in Waco, Texas, where he served as deputy for operations. He also served as Director of Operations for U.S. Air Forces in Europe, with headquarters in Germany. A graduate of the Air Command and Staff School, Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala., and the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, Fort McNair, Washington, D.C., General Worley was rated a command pilot and parachutist.

In 1966, Worley was appointed as vice-commander of the Seventh Air Force.

On 23 July 1968, he was flying an RF-4C Phantom aircraft when it was hit by ground fire and crashed approximately  northwest of Da Nang Air Base, South Vietnam.

He and his wife, Bette Lorraine Worley (1920–2011), are buried at Arlington National Cemetery, in Arlington, Virginia.

title: Der Heiligen Leben

text:
Der Heiligen Leben ('The Lives of Saints'), also known as Passional, was a German legendary, compiled by a Dominican friar from Nürnberg around 1400. Today, 197 manuscripts are known, along with 33 High German and 8 Low German imprints; the oldest imprint is that of Günther Zainer (Augsburg, 1471/72) and the latest is from Strassburg (1521). The 1502 edition had a print run of 1000 copies, an exceptional figure for the time. The collection originally contained 251 legends and became 'the most influential model for most of the vernacular legendaries of the fifteenth century', and was 'unparalleled in its overall popularity in the whole of Europe ... Hardly a work of German literature was read by such a wide audience'.
