title: Buckeye Station

text:
Buckeye Station was built in 1797 by General Nathaniel Massie, a surveyor and early Ohio settler, who lived there for a brief time.  It is located just east of Manchester, Ohio, in the uplands overlooking the Ohio River. Massie founded several towns in Ohio, including nearby Manchester, Ohio as well as the state's first capital Chillicothe.  Massie leased the property to John Moore for a time, and then sold it to his brother-in-law Charles Willing Byrd.

The original house on the property was a  log cabin called Buckeye Station because it was constructed of buckeye timber. It was built near Massie Station, a stockaded village established by Massie that later became Manchester. The log cabin was replaced by the current one-and-half story L-shaped house in 1797.

Today Buckeye Station is a crumbling ruin. It stands in the shadow of a cell phone tower, in a patch of woods, near a large agricultural field.  A historical marker is located to the south on highway 52.

title: Virtue (Eldar Djangirov album)

text:
Virtue is a jazz album released in 2009 by new Sony Masterworks. It is the fourth album of the Kyrgyzstan-born, New York-based musician Eldar Djangirov.

The album released when Djangirov was 22 years old. In the album, pianist Djangirov worked with bassist Armando Gola and drummer Ludwig Afonso; Djangirov was also aided and abetted by guests saxophonist Joshua Redman, saxophonist Felipe Lamoglia and trumpeter Nicholas Payton. There are ten original compositions among which eight were written or co-written by Djangirov. Djangirov commented on his own album,  "In many ways, you could think of it as a soundtrack to my direct experiences since I've moved to New York City."

Background
Throughout the album, "Exposition" starts with a bing-bang sound, and it follows with a call and response between piano and sax, featuring the energy and frenzy of urban bustle. Djangirov adds some electric piano under Redman’s solo, then follows the reprise of the melody with a ripping and echo-effected synthesizer solo. A similar pattern is shown on "Blues Sketch in Clave", but with Felipe Lamoglia on tenor sax. In "Insensitive", the trio becomes gentler, Djangirov’s Chopinesque piano introduction shifting to a more abstract journey, with rapid-fire lyricism.

In "Estate", swinging support from bassist Armando Gola and drummer Ludwig Afonso provide a strong jazz sensibility and balance out Djangirov's tendency at times to move more towards a classical style of playing. "Estate" is a slow and delicate piece which allows Djangirov to show his emotions; there is absence of complex chord patterns. "Iris", is another delicate ballad which showcases Djangirov’s strengths by combining classical melody with the jazz feelings. Electric bassist Armando Gola seeps through the melody to add delicate lines, and the piece is closed with delicate solo piano. In "Blackjack", Djangirov properly solos first, but he gives most impressive setting to trumpeter Peyton, who solos against a spare but funky background. When the melody returns, however, there is synth again. Throughout Virtue, Djangirov manages to avoid clichés.

From the start, Djangirov took an experimental approach to this project. He said, "I came up with intricate frameworks but allowed it to expand in a rhapsodic way," he explains. "That means I didn't limit myself. I didn't write with any idea of form, like A-A-B-A. Instead, I set my goals and priorities, priorities by experimenting with harmonic movements, melodic ideas, and rhythmic codes. Through this, I was able to shape and develop these ideas which eventually became the basis for the compositions for this album."  After laying the compositional foundation of Virtue, Djangirov brought Gola and Afonso into the mix because their musical priorities were similar to those of Djangirov. Equally important, they established an intuitive communication that was critical to transforming those ideas into compelling performances. Eventually they reached a point where, as Djangirov puts it, "we all feel like we know where this train is going. We listen constantly to each other as we play. If somebody goes in an unexpected direction, we don't go against him; we move and breathe together. We rely on each other. It comes from following our impulses rather than 'reading' this note at that exact time."

title: 11 O'Clock

text:
11 O'Clock is a 1948 action film directed by Homi Wadia. It starred Fearless Nadia, John Cawas, Atish Sayani and Aftab. The Austin car, which was a regular in most Fearless Nadia films, was given a billing with the main cast as "Austin Ki Bacchi" (daughter of Austin). The music was composed by Chitragupta. Homi Wadia had left Wadia Movietone, having parted ways with his brother JBH Wadia and started his own film company called Basant Pictures. He was to continue with the action genre, but produced more mythological films under this banner. His co-sponsor was M. B. Billimoria, who also distributed the film.

Plot

Suresh (John Cawas) has been left  by his uncle in his will. The stipulation is that he has to be married and reach the lawyer's office by 11 O'Clock the next morning. The money will otherwise go to his cousin Harish. He entreats Harish to help him find a bride, but under the pretense of helping him, Harish tries to foil his plans. With help from Lakshmi (Fearless Nadia) and a friend called Tattu, who has the Austin, they manage to make it on time.

Cast
Fearless Nadia as Lakshmi
John Cawas as Suresh
Atish Sayani
Aftab

Production

Homi Wadia made 152 films under his Basant Pictures banner. Most were mythological, and several were action-adventure films starring Fearless Nadia. He made use of the same sets several times to save money. Like all his other action films, this too had Nadia doing her stunts, fist raised in the air, western clothes, running over trains, fist-fighting bad guys and hefting them on her shoulders, to make the formula-driven genre be understood and accepted by the audiences by just seeing the poster.

Soundtrack
The film's music was composed by Chitragupta, with lyrics written by Rajjan.

title: La Manche Provincial Park

text:
La Manche Provincial Park, is a provincial park located 53 kilometers south of St. John's along Route 10 (Irish Loop Drive), on the island of Newfoundland, in the Canadian Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It consists mainly of the abandoned village of La Manche, as well as some surrounding terrain.

East Coast Trail
The East Coast Trail's La Manche Village Path, which runs from Tors Cove to La Manche Village, enters the Park and crosses the La Manche River by a suspension bridge. The Flamber Head Path continues for 11.5km from the resettled La Manche Village to Brigus South. The Flamber Head Path is also accessible via a 1.4km access trail from within the park.

La Manche Village

The community was first settled in the 1840s, apparently by a George Melvin.  There was a small Roman Catholic church and a school located in the community, as well as a suspension bridge which crossed the inlet.  At the time of Confederation in 1949, La Manche had a population of 54; by 1961, following the closure of the school, this had fallen to 25. La Manche was abandoned after a winter storm on 28 January 1966 which demolished the community's network of wharves and stages and collapsed the suspension bridge.

The remains of the community are now incorporated within the boundaries of the Park.

title: Hell's Kitchen Italia

text:
Hell's Kitchen is an Italian reality television cooking competition (based on the British series of the same name) and American version broadcast on Fox. The Italian format is broadcast on Sky Uno since 2014. It is hosted by celebrity chef Carlo Cracco.

Format
The Italian format reflects the U.S. version. Two teams of aspiring chefs, equally divided between men and women, challenge tests with cooking and table service at the restaurant Hell's Kitchen, supervised and judged by chef Carlo Cracco. There may be as many as 16 chefs in the first and second edition. A key feature of the program is the psychological pressure to which chef Cracco submits competitors; in fact, he does not hesitate to turn to them using particularly offensive insults and epithets, to criticize or scold them, get them to work more efficiently, or even to drive them out of the kitchen.

Each season opens with competitors, always divided between men and women, presenting to a dish to chef Cracco, in an attempt to showcase their talents. Starting next episode, the first part of each episode consists of a challenge between the two teams (when there are fewer competitors, these challenges become individual.) In the final stage the colors of the two jackets disappear, to make room for the coveted black jackets. Whoever wins these challenges (which can also occur externally) is rewarded with a particularly entertaining or relaxing excursion. The losers, however, remain at Hell's Kitchen, or in a place outside, to serve a punishment consisting of very tiring, and, in some cases, humiliating, labor. The result of these tests, however, has no influence on what will be the final judgment of the episode.

In the second part of the episode, the contestants have to cook the dishes for restaurant customers (about 70), half of which are served by the blue team and the other half by the red, and Cracco with his sous chefs will check their quality. Based on the work done, Cracco decides which of the two teams was the worst, or both teams might be losers. Among either or both teams, Cracco will choose a chef who stood out positively over the others; they will be requested to nominate two teammates, including themselves. Cracco will choose who will be eliminated from the game. However, it is also possible that Cracco decides not to take these into account at time of nomination; he may eliminate competitors who have not been appointed, even those who belonged to the winning team, by virtue of their poor performance or inappropriate behavior. Similarly, competitors may be directly disposed of during the evening service, while in other cases no one is eliminated.

Starting in Season 4 in 2017, a new format was launched as follows: instead of rewards and punishments, the team that loses the challenge must undertake a separate task individually. Cracco will judge each team member's dish in order and anyone who beats a teammate is declared "safe". After all dishes have been judged, the worst performer is declared ineligible to participate in that evening's dinner service, effectively leaving their team short-handed. After dinner service, either or both losing teams must nominate their worst performers and Cracco will decide who was the worst of them all. This individual, as well as the loser of the individual challenge, face off against each other in a Cook For Your Life showdown, with the loser having to leave the competition altogether.

In fact, a difference of Hell's Kitchen from most reality show is that the contestants are not judged by an audience, a tele-voting, jury or other forms of score any decision about their continuation in the race; it is solely Cracco.

Chef Carlo Cracco runs the kitchen with the help of two sous-chefs: Omar Allievi and Entiana Osmenzeza in first edition, in second edition Misha Sukyas and Marion Lichtle, in third edition Sybil Cardone and Mirko Ronzoni, who coordinate the work of two teams of apprentices. Managing the relationship with customers is the maître'd Luca Cinacchi (his nickname is Luchino).

In the final episode the sous-chefs and the guest star (In the first edition Bruno Barbieri, in second edition Matteo Grandi, the winner of first edition) are tasked to sabotage the flow of the finalists, to test their awareness during the service.

title: Leinster Downs

text:
Leinster Downs Station is a pastoral lease that once operated as a cattle station and now operates as a sheep station in Western Australia.

Situated approximately  north of Leinster and  south of Wiluna in the Goldfields–Esperance region. It shares a boundary with the Pinnacles Station to the south, and with Wildara station to the south west.

The traditional owners of the area are the Wanmala, Tjupan and Pini peoples.

Leinster Downs was established by Henry Saunders, a mining entrepreneur and member of parliament who acquired the Leinster gold mine in 1900. Established prior to 1909, the property was raising and selling horses in the goldfields area at that time. Cattle were being run at Leinster Downs in 1920 along with many nearby properties including Dandarraga, Sturt Meadows and Ida Valley.

Leinster Downs was acquired by the Nairn brothers, who also owned Yarrabubba Station in about 1925. The property was running sheep at the time and occupied an area of approximately . The original brick homestead, which was erected by Saunders, burned down in 1936.

The Leinster Downs Pastoral Company owned the property until 1949, when Noel White and family acquired the property.

title: Moorook railway line

text:
The Moorook railway line was a  railway line on the South Australian Railways network. It ran from a junction with the Barmera line at Wanbi north to Yinkanie near Moorook opening on 7 September 1925. It was proposed to later extend the line to Moorook and Kingston On Murray if demand arose, but road transport improved so the railway was never extended, and the line was closed on 1 May 1971.

Route
The route of the line was designed to cover the gap between the Waikerie and Loxton lines at the lowest cost.
The names of the new stations were Gluyas, Caliph, Bayah, Tuscan, Koowa, Wunkar, Myrla, Wappilka and Yinkanie.

title: Mir Bozhiy

text:
Mir Bozhiy (God's World, Мир божий) was a Russian monthly magazine published in Saint Petersburg in 1892–1906. It was edited first by Viktor Ostrogorsky (1892–1901), then by Fyodor Batyushkov (1902–1906). In July 1906 Mir Bozhiy was closed by censors. The publisher of the magazine was Alexandra Davydova, mother-in-law of Alexander Kuprin.

History
The publication's original intention was to promote self-education by popularizing science and history. By mid-1890, due largely to Angel Bogdanovich (who instigated on the journal's pages a well-publicized polemic with narodniks), it became more politically aware. Attracting Marxist (mainly the so-called Legal Marxists: Pyotr Struve, Mikhail Tugan-Baranovsky, Nikolai Berdyaev and others) authors and readership, it became popular among liberal and radical Russian intelligentsia.

The literary criticism section was edited by Bogdanovich, Vladimir Kranikhfeld and Nevedomsky. Among the magazine's regular contributors were Vikenty Veresaev, Leonid Andreev, Ivan Bunin, Alexander Kuprin, Mikhail Artsybashev, Dmitry Mamin-Sibiryak, Ignaty Potapenko, Nikolai Garin-Mikhailovsky (fiction); Ivan Ivanov, Pavel Milyukov, Yevgeny Tarle, Fyodor Batyushkov, Evgeny Anichkov, Nestor Kotlyarevsky (non-fiction).

In July 1906, the journal was closed by censors. It changed its title and in October 1906, re-emerged as Sovremenny Mir (Modern World) with Bogdanovich at the helm.

title: Matt Alber

text:
Matt Alber (born February 6, 1975) is an American singer-songwriter, filmmaker, and youth advocate based in Portland, Oregon.

Early life
Alber was born in Wichita, Kansas, and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. He began singing as a child and studied music and vocal training at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri.

Career
Alber was a member of the Grammy-award-winning all-male vocal ensemble Chanticleer from 1998 until 2003 when he left to pursue a solo career. Alber released his first album, Nonchalant, in 2005. It was co-produced with Jeff Crerie at Utmosis Studios in San Francisco. Some of the album's material was re-worked for his major label debut three years later. The album has since gone out of print. In 2008, Alber released Hide Nothing through Silver Label, a division of Tommy Boy Records. The leading single from the album, "End of the World" went viral after gay-entertainment television channel Logo TV popularized its accompanying music video through its now-defunct "Click List" segment. At the time, Alber's relationship was suffering, and the song was written as a last-attempt to save it. Unhappy with his label's approach to creating music, Alber left Tommy Boy Records in 2010 and has since been releasing his music independently.

Alber followed Hide Nothing with 2011's Constant Crows, which found the singer experimenting more with folk music and torch songs. Alber stated in an interview with The Herald Palladium that the second record was influenced by his stripped-down, acoustic live performances, which was a change from the "dreamy" and starry-eyed sound from his debut. This sound was later further expanded on 2014's Wind Sand Stars, which was Alber's first full-length LP to be released on vinyl. Following the release of his second album, Alber became an icon for the bear community, modeling as a pin-up for Meat Magazine in 2013.

Personal life
Alber is gay and advocates for LGBTQ youth as part of his career. In an interview with About.com's travel section, Alber was quoting as saying, "I am very happy to have a lot of gay fans. I'm not saying I'm a spokesman for my people, but I love singing to my people. Especially gay guys who are all lovey dovey with each other. Because so often I cruise men, clicking them away in [computer] windows, and being predictably kind of cold to them."

Alber has a tattoo on his wrist that reads "Squire", which is one of his nicknames.

title: James Campbell Walker

text:
James Campbell Walker (11 April 1821 – 10 January 1888) was a Scottish architect in the 19th century, practising across the country and specialising in poorhouses and schools. His main claim to fame is in having designed Dunfermline Carnegie Library, the world's first Carnegie library, in Andrew Carnegie's home town of Dunfermline.

Life

He was born in Strathmiglo to a family of bleachers, in Scotland known as "waulkers". He became the son of Thomas Walker and Barbara Campbell.

He trained in Edinburgh under the architect William Burn from January 1842. In the 1850s he transferred to work for Burn’s friend David Bryce. His work shows the influence of each, but he never received the widespread fame of these two.

Due to family links he received many estate commissions for farms then began to specialise in poorhouses.

Very late in life, in 1875, he married his cousin, Agnes Walker from Eastbourne.

He died of chronic bronchitis in 1888 and is buried in Auchtermuchty in Fife.

title: In a South Downs Way

text:
In a South Downs Way is the first studio album in the recording series Walk Upon England, a project which celebrates the countryside as a source of creativity in music and poetry. The album was composed by Damian Montagu and co-produced and co-arranged with Stewart Prosser. It comprises tracks evocative of the South Downs, written for strings, piano and brass, with Hugh Bonneville narrating his own original writing.

Recording

The concept of the album and its key melodies originated from ideas that Damian Montagu recorded on his mobile phone while walking alone in the South Downs. After this series of walks, Damian added underlying chords and structure to his compositions back in his Sussex studio. In A South Downs Way was later produced and arranged in collaboration  with Stewart Prosser and later also Hugh Bonneville became creatively involved. Initially Damian and Stewart considered whether to use the words of the Sussex poet Edward Thomas to complement the music and they invited their friend Hugh to read some extracts. Subsequently, instead, Hugh offered to write words of his own which he then narrated.

The resulting album was released in June 2016 through the classical arm of record label Decca.

Content

The album is based around piano lines, brass and string arrangements, field recordings of countryside sounds and Hugh’s spoken word contributions. The compositions are performed by the Tippett Quartet as well as other musicians, including Stewart Prosser (brass), who co-produced the album. The sound of the album is analogue, with no synthesisers or electronica used.

Reception

In March 2016, after Hugh Bonneville chose "The Path Towards Tomorrow" from the album as one of his tracks on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, the song was number one for two weeks on the UK iTunes classical chart. After release in June, the full album In A South Downs Way reached the top position in the Official UK Specialist Classical Charts.

Having performed extracts of the album at the Glastonbury Festival to positive reviews, the producers recognised the potential to continue with further such compositions that would reflect other parts of the country. Subsequently, they developed the recording series Walk Upon England, aiming to bring together rural composers and writers to create a soundscape of the English countryside. The next two albums are already being developed, with the West Country and Yorkshire as possible subject areas.

Live performances

The premiere live performance of  In A South Downs Way took place at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, on 13 November 2016, with the participation of musicians the Tippett Quartet, Rob Sword, Stewart Prosser, Dave Gale, Will Spencer and Darren Black and the actors Christopher Timothy, Hugh Bonneville and Juliet Howland.

title: Taylor Dugas

text:
Taylor Brooks Dugas (born December 15, 1989) is an American former professional baseball outfielder and assistant baseball coach at the University of Texas at Arlington. Prior to playing professionally, Dugas played college baseball for the Alabama Crimson Tide, where he set numerous offensive records. Dugas was promoted to the major leagues by the New York Yankees but did not appear in a major league game, making him a phantom ballplayer.

Amateur career
After beginning youth baseball at the age of five, Dugas joined travel teams that visited Florida and Texas. He attended Teurlings Catholic High School in Lafayette, Louisiana. Playing for the school's baseball team, Dugas had a .640 batting average with 10 home runs in his senior year. He ended his high school career with a .519 batting average. However, he was not chosen in the 2008 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft. Though he hoped to attend Louisiana State University (LSU) to play college baseball for the LSU Tigers baseball team, they did not offer him a scholarship, only offering him the opportunity to play as a walk-on. He received a scholarship offer from the University of Alabama, which he accepted.

Playing for the Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team, Dugas batted .352 as a freshman and was named to the Freshmen All-American team. In 2010, his sophomore season, Dugas had a .395 batting average, and led the Southeastern Conference (SEC) with a .525 on-base percentage and 59 walks. Baseball America named him a first-team All-American, while the American Baseball Coaches Association honored him as a second team All-American. He was also named to the All-SEC first team. After the season, Dugas was invited to try out for the United States national collegiate baseball team, and played collegiate summer baseball with the Harwich Mariners of the Cape Cod Baseball League. In 2011, Dugas' junior year, he was named to the All-SEC second team and the SEC's All-Defensive Team.

The Chicago Cubs selected Dugas in the eighth round, with the 249th overall selection, of the 2011 MLB Draft. Though the Cubs offered Dugas a $300,000 signing bonus, Dugas opted not to sign, instead returning to the Crimson Tide for his senior year, both for the opportunity to graduate, win with the Crimson Tide, and to set career offensive records. As a senior, Dugas led the Crimson Tide with a .343 batting average. He set Crimson Tide career records with 334 hits, 235 singles, 67 doubles, and 18 triples. After his senior season, Dugas was named to the All-SEC first team and the All-Defensive team.

Professional career
The New York Yankees selected Dugas in the eighth round, with the 277th overall selection, of the 2012 MLB Draft. He signed with the Yankees and began his professional career with the Staten Island Yankees of the Class A-Short Season New York–Penn League. He had a .306 average with Staten Island, and was named to the New York-Penn League All-Star Game. Dugas spent the 2013 season with the Charleston RiverDogs of the Class A South Atlantic League and the Tampa Yankees of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League. Between the two levels, he batted .285 and had 64 walks.

In 2014, Dugas began the season with the Trenton Thunder of the Class AA Eastern League. The Yankees promoted Dugas to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders of the Class AAA International League in June. Overall, he batted .299/.399/.390 with one home run, 40 RBIs, and 7 steals in 111 games.

Dugas split the 2015 season with Trenton and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, before being promoted to the major leagues on July 1, after an injury to Carlos Beltrán. He was optioned back to the minor leagues on July 3 without appearing in a major league game. He was designated for assignment by the Yankees on July 9. Dugas was released by the Yankees in April 2016, did not play professional baseball afterwards. Dugas' time on an MLB active roster, without ever appearing in an MLB game, makes him a phantom ballplayer.

Coaching career
Northwestern State University hired Dugas as an assistant coach for the Northwestern State Demons baseball team in August 2016.  In December 2020, Dugas accepted the hitting coach and recruiting coordinator job at UT-Arlington.

Personal life
The Dugas family are friends with Ron Guidry, a Lafayette native who played for the Yankees. Dugas grew up as a Yankees fan. His older brother, Tyler, was an All-State high school player and played college baseball at McNeese State University. He also has an older sister, Tiffany.

title: Dunn & Findlay

text:
Dunn & Findlay were a firm of Scottish architects operating in the late 19th century and responsible for a number of important commercial buildings including the Scotsman buildings which form part of the Edinburgh Old Town skyline. Each was also independently successful in his own right prior to the partnership. The partnership officially lasted from 1894 until 1903. It was arguably "a marriage of convenience": Dunn providing the skill, Findlay providing the business connections.

James Bow Dunn

James Bow Dunn was born in Pollokshields, Glasgow on 16 January 1861. His family moved to Edinburgh whilst he was young and there he attended George Watson’s College.

In March 1876 he was apprenticed to the architect James Campbell Walker, from whence he found a position in the Burgh Engineer’s Office in 1885.

In 1887 he came to fame coming a close second to George Washington Browne in a competition for Edinburgh’s Central Library (funded by the  Andrew Carnegie Trust). In 1888 a second competition paid off and he won a commission for the huge Solicitor’s Buildings complex south of the Edinburgh Law Courts.

In later life he set up a second practice in Northumberland and specialised in large country houses.

He died suddenly on 25 August 1930 a week after a hospital operation.

James Leslie Findlay

James Leslie Findlay was a son of the Victorian newspaper magnate, John Ritchie Findlay, owner of the Scotsman newspaper. He was born on 30 April 1868. He was educated at Harrow School and thereafter apprenticed to the eminent Arts And Crafts architect, Sydney Mitchell, who was a close friend of his father. Although most of his work appears to be achieved through nepotism, being commissioned by his father, he is nevertheless an accomplished architect of skill.

In 1915 he gave up architecture to pursue a military career as a Lieutenant Colonel commanding the First Lowland Division of the Royal Field Artillery, serving with the 51st Highland Division on the Somme. He was invalided out of the army and thereafter became a gentleman of leisure.

He died on 19 September 1952.

title: Chrysopelea taprobanica

text:
Chrysopelea taprobanica, the Sri Lankan flying snake or Indian flying snake, is a species of gliding snake distributed in India and Sri Lanka. It can glide, as with all species of its genus Chrysopelea, by stretching the body into a flattened strip using its ribs.
The snake is known as "dangara dandaa - දඟරදන්ඩා" in Sinhala, due to its folding postures.

Description
Chrysopelea taprobanica is a medium-sized snake, reaching  length. The head is depressed. Eyes are large with round pupils. Ventral scales have keels laterally. Vertebral scales are not enlarged. Dorsal scales are smooth or feebly keeled. Dorsal side is greenish yellow or pale green. Orange to red spots can be seen between dark cross bands. Head is black dorsally with yellow and black cross-bars. Ventral side is pale green with a series of black lateral spots on each side.

Scalation
There are 198–214 ventral scales and 107–123 subcaudal scales.

Ecology
The snake inhabits old growth trees, as well as secondary vegetation, cultivation, sometimes entering human dwellings. They are diurnal and arboreal.

Diet
Its diet consists mainly of lizards, such as geckos and agamids. Bats, rodents, birds and other small snakes may also be taken.

Distribution
The Sri Lankan flying snake is distributed in Sri Lanka and Peninsular India. population in Sri Lanka can be found in dry zone lowlands and parts of the intermediate climatic zones, including Polonnaruwa, Wilpattu National Park, Sigiriya, Kurunegala, Jaffna, Trincomalee, and Monaragala. This species was believed to be endemic to Sri Lanka until researchers recorded a few specimens from Andhra Pradesh (India) and found old museum specimens collected from India that are now assigned to this species. More recently this species has been sighted in parts of Eastern Ghats in Tamil Nadu.

Reproduction
Chrysopelea taprobanica is oviparous.

Relationship with humans
Because this species is uncommon, arboreal, and prefers forests, it is rarely encountered by humans. One bite has been reliably documented, resulting in mild local effects only.

title: Moloch (Kuprin novel)

text:
Moloch (Молох) is a short novel by Alexander Kuprin, first published in  Russkoye Bogatstvos December 1896 issue. A sharp critique of the rapidly growing Russian capitalism and a reflection of the growing industrial unrest in the country, it is considered Kuprin's first major work.

Synopsis
Engineer Andrey Bobrov works for a ruthless capitalist industrial enterprise, feeling more and more uncomfortable with what is going on around him. After losing Nina, the woman he loves, to the amoral industrialist Kvashnin who owns that enterprise, he suffers a nervous breakdown and is left a broken man, prone to frenzied and futile debates with his own 'double'. The story's finale hints at the outbreak of a workers' revolt.

Characters
 Andrey Bobrov, a sensitive and socially conscious man who recognizes the factory he works for as an insatiable Moloch, the brazen god of the Ammonites for whom children were made "to pass through the fire" in ritual sacrifice (2 Kings 23:10).
 Kvashnin, the owner of the enterprise, "gluttonous, debauched, monstrously fat" whom Bobrov sees as the very embodiment of "industrial amorality".
 Svezhevsky, a loathsome careerist, "a modern day Uriah Heep" (Nicholas Luker).
 Zinenko, a man in charge of stores at the factory; he fawns on his superiors, gossips about his colleagues, and tyrannizes his subordinates.
 Nina, Zinenko's daughter, a beautiful young woman whom Bobrov falls in love with and who's more impressed with Kvashnin's wealth. To be married to Svezhevsky so as to become Kvashnin's mistress under the cloak of respectability.
 Goldberg, physician at the factory and Bobrov's only friend.
 Andrea, a well-educated and highly intelligent Belgian engineer.

Background
According to scholar Nicholas Luker, "thematically Moloch belongs firmly in the 1890s, and reflects many of the social and economic issues of that decade."The second half of the 1800s saw the rapid development of Russian capitalism, with its concomitant industrial expansion. As her rail network was enlarged and her textile, metallurgical, and mining industries expanded, Russia's output rose steadily. The All-Russian Industrial Exhibition of 1896 in Nizhny Novgorod, to which Kuprin refers in "The Yuzovsky Works," was designed to demonstrate the impressive achievements of Russian industry. But with the industrial boom came growing unrest among the new working class, its ranks swelled by poor peasants driven off the land by such agrarian crises as the famine of 1891-1892. A series of industrial disturbances of the mid-1890s are reflected in the workers' revolt at the end of Moloch.

History
The story was first published in Russkoye Bogatstvo, No. 12, December issue. In a heavily edited version, it appeared in The Stories, a 1903 collection published by Gorky's Znaniye. The same year it was published by Donskaya Rech (The Don Speech), a Rostov-on-Don-based publishing house. There the final scene was absent altogether. The process of the text's moderation continued while the author was preparing it for Adolf Marks' The Complete Kuprin series. Judging by the author's letter to Nikolai Mikhaylovsky, originally the last chapter looked much more radical than its final version. Eventually its tone was considerably toned down according to Mikhaylovsky's recommendations.

Submitting the text to the publishers (A. K. Marks), Kuprin wrote to Mikhaylovsky: "Here's Moloch’s 11th chapter. I've changed it drastically following your instructions. Now I'd like to ask you, please, - should you find something improper with the text, please go through it with your own pen... There is one thing I should confess to: I've still not managed to avoid morbid psychology. Perhaps this unhappy genre is inseparable from me?" Kuprin, apparently, planned to finish Moloch with the scene of the workers' revolt, with Bobrov blowing up the boilers. Mikhaylovsky insisted on changing the finale, finding it 'melodramatic'. This (according to Soviet critic I. Pitlyar) has made the general tone of the novel more pessimistic. As Kuprin wrote to Mikhailovsky upon altering his manuscript: "About the revolt - not a word. One will only be able to feel it."

Critical reception
Angel Bogdanovich, reviewing Kuprin's collection for Znaniye, wrote: Of the ten pieces included, only Moloch, the longest one, stands out... But despite some excellent fragments, like the one depicting the factory in general, there is some stiltedness in the style, as if the author works under some outside influence.

According to modern scholar Nicholas Luker, "The defects of Moloch are several. The melodrama of works like "In the Dark" emerges again, especially in the Bobrov-Nina-Kvashnin triangle, which bears some resemblance to the earlier Alarin-Zinaida-Kashperov pattern. Two sections of Moloch are unashamedly sensational: the fevered verbal exchanges between Bobrov and Mme Zinenko at the picnic, and the arrival of the hero, blood-stained and tattered, at the hospital to beg Goldberg for morphia."

title: Louis Boisot

text:
Louis Boisot, Jr. (1856–1933) was an American lawyer and Vice President of the First Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago, Illinois. Boisot wrote the books By-laws of Private Corporations and A Treatise on the Law of Mechanics' Liens.

Early life

Louis Boisot was born in Dubuque, Iowa, on May 23, 1856. He was the son of Louis Daniel Boisot (1823-1900) and Albertina Bush (1825-1889). Boisot graduated from Hamilton College (Iowa) in 1877 and belonged to the Phi Beta Kappa society. He got his Bachelor of Laws at Columbia University in 1879 and was admitted to the bar in 1880.

Marriage and children

Boisot married Mary Spencer on May 13, 1887. He was a member of the La Grange Country Club in Illinois and a prominent churchman.

Professional life

Boisot practiced law in Chicago from 1880 to 1903.

On March 26, 1904, Boisot was appointed trust officer of the First National Bank of Chicago. On January 13, 1916, Boisot was appointed vice president, keeping his title of trust officer. He was a director of three other Chicago banks and a trustee of Rollins College. His brother, Emile Kellogg Boisot, was also a banker.

Boisot wrote two books on law, The Law of By-laws of Private Corporations (1892) and Treatise on the Law of Mechanics' Liens (1897). The latter book was reviewed, where it was stated that "a considerable part of the Pennsylvania law, for example, as given by Mr. Boisot, is already ancient history." The review goes on to state: "As a digest of the law on Mechanic's Liens, as it existed at the time of writing, the work is of great value."

In 1922, he was a commissioner to the Presbyterian General Assembly.

Death
On July 23, 1933, Boisot died in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, where he had a summer home. He was buried at the Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. He was 77 years old.
