title: Australochelys

text:
Australochelys is an extinct genus of rhaptochelydian turtle. It is known from one species, A. africanus, that came from the Elliot Formation of South Africa. The holotype of Australochelys consists of only a skull and a fragment of the carapace, which shows both primitive and derived features. Like Proganochelys, Australochelys has large orbits and a ventral basioccipital tubercle, but like derived turtles such as casichelydians, a group containing Cryptodira and Pleurodira, it possesses a sutured basipterygoidal attachment, and a middle ear region partially enclosed laterally. These characteristics show that Australochelys is more closely related to casichelydians than to Proganochelys, and together with the former, it makes up Rhaptochelydia. The skull of Australochelys shows that an advanced hearing mechanism of turtles evolved before the appearance of modern turtles.

Etymology
Australochelys africanus was named in 1994 by Eugene S. Gaffney and James W. Kitching. The generic name comes from the Greek australos, meaning "south" and chelys, "turtle". The specific name is derived from the Greek africanus, meaning "from Africa".

Description

Skull
The holotype of Australochelys includes a skull and a fragment of the carapace. The skull shares features with both the primitive turtle Proganochelys and Casichelydia, a group of derived turtles. The skull shows an advanced hearing mechanism, a feature thought to have evolved with modern turtles.

Distinguishing characteristics
Many features were found among Australochelys that function to distinguish it from other turtles. Below are the characteristics found by Gaffney and Kitching in 1995 that are unique among all turtles:

 an orbit larger in relative size than in any other turtle;
 a lacrimal foramen at least three times larger than in Proganochelys;
 the external nares elongated in contrast to all turtles;
 and vomers arched dorsally, narrow posteriorly, and very broad anteriorly in a unique configuration.

Below are features that are only found in turtles between Australochelys and Proganochelys, but also present in tetrapods:

 the presence of nares formed by the premaxilla divided external;
 large interpterygoid vacuity like in Proganochelys;
 an unenclosed middle ear region;
 a recessed, funnel-shaped, cavum tympani absent;
 lacrimal foramen present;
 recessus scalae tympani and fenestra perilymphatica absent;
 foramen jugulare posterius with at least a medial edge absent;
 and the presence of a cultriform process.

Below are characteristics found in Australochelys and Casichelydia but not in Proganochelys:

 a sutured basipterygoid articulation;
 a stapes that probably does not articulate directly with quadrate but may have attached to a tympanic membrane supported by the acute posterior edge of the quadrate;
 a distal end of opisthotic covered by quadrate;
 a well-defined canalis cavernosus canal;
 few or no palatal teeth;
 a distinct crista supraoccipitalis vertical bone sheet;
 and a temporal roof that extends posteriorly over opisthotic.

Classification
Australochelys shows a strange mix of basal and derived characteristics. This led Gaffney and Kitching to classify it in two new groups, Rhaptochelydia and Australochelyidae. Rhaptochelydia includes Australochelyidae and Casichelydia, a group including the derived groups Cryptodira and Pleurodira.

Below is a simple cladogram found by Gaffney and Kitching in 1995 demonstrating the relationships of Australochelys:

Paleoecology

Australochelys is from the Early Jurassic Elliot Formation, a formation that dates around 190 to 180 million years ago. This makes it the oldest african turtle, a record that was previously held by a fragmentary specimen from the Gokwe Formation, which was dated to the Late Jurassic. Other than the fragmentary possible remains, the oldest definite specimens date to the Early Cretaceous of Africa, which shows about a 60 million year gap between themselves and Australochelys. The holotype of Australochelys was found in a Tritylodon horizon, in the middle section of the formation.

title: Michel Goudchaux

text:
Michel Goudchaux (18 March 1797 – 27 December 1862) was a French banker and politician who was twice Minister of Finance during the French Second Republic. A firm Republican, he refused to accept the government of Napoleon III.

Early years
Michel Goudchaux was born in Nancy, Meurthe, on 18 March 1797, son of Gerson-Jacob Goudchaux, a Jewish banker.
At an early age he became interested in mathematics, and planned an academic career.
However, when his father died, Michel and his two brothers continued the business, which was profitable although never large.
In 1825 he moved to Paris to represent the bank, and there became involved in Liberal opposition circles.
Early in 1830 he was one of the founders of Le National, a paper that attacked the regime of Charles X of France.
He was injured on a barricade in the July Revolution of 1830.

After the revolution Goudchaux became a supporter of King Louis-Philippe.
For a period he was general counsel of the Seine, and then paymaster-general of the Army in Strasbourg.
In 1834 he left office after publicly criticizing the government's financial management in three brochures.
Back in Paris he resumed his banking career, and invested most of his fortune in the railways.
Writing in Le National he criticized the government's policy with the railways and with the Bank of France.

Goudchaux was the brother-in-law of Hypolite Worms, a large-scale coal merchant and founder of Worms & Cie, of the Jewish merchant family of Sarrelouis.
He was in favor of free enterprise and competition. In 1847, as banker to an association of producer cooperatives, he made it clear that the members would be expected to compete with each other.

First Ministry
Goudchaux was reputed for the strength of his Republican principles.
Alexis de Tocqueville described him as both a banker and a radical.
After the French Revolution of 1848, on 24 February Goudchaux was made Finance Minister in the cabinet of Dupont de l'Eure.
There was some criticism of the appointment based on his religion.
However, he was known to be in favor of law and order and skilled in finance, so was expected to reassure business interests.
He took emergency measures to resume the collection of taxes, which had been disrupted by the revolution, while promising to arrange for more equitable methods of taxation as soon as possible. He created a discount counter for small businesses and abolished the stamp tax on periodicals. He also authorized early payment of arrears by the government. This measure backfired, causing a crisis of confidence since creditors did not think the government could meet its commitments. Goudchaux resigned on 5 March 1848 and could not be persuaded to return.
He was succeeded by Louis-Antoine Garnier-Pagès.

Second Ministry

Goudchaux ran unsuccessfully as Republican candidate for the Assembly in April 1848.
He ran again on 4 June 1848 in a by-election in the department of the Seine and was elected.
On taking office on 13 June 1848 he was appointed to the Finance Committee of the Assembly.
He made a major speech in which he proposed lower indirect taxes, free education to workers and limited subsidies to the National Workshops which had been created to provide temporary employment. The June Days Uprising from 24-26 June was crushed by General Louis-Eugène Cavaignac.
Cavaignac formed a ministry on 28 June 1848 in which Goudchaux was made Minister of Finance.

Goudchaux immediately proposed to strictly limit the salaries of ministers.
He proposed decrees on a loan for the Bank of France, repayment of savings bank deposits, treasury bills and other urgent matters.
He supported tax exemptions and loans to assist businesses, but was against government bail-outs of struggling businesses.
On 22 July 1848 Goudchaux presented a statement of the financial situation to the Assembly in which he said there would be a deficit of 209 million for that year.
The budget could be balanced for 1849, but only by restoring taxes that had been abolished too quickly.

Goudchaux continued to propose measures to manage finances and participated in constitutional debates.
Throughout his ministry he was hounded by the representative Creton to provide full details of all financial dealings of the provisional government, where Goudchaux had been Minister of Finance for a few days.
When the assembly voted in favor on 24 October 1848, Goudchaux immediately resigned on the grounds that this implied he was not trusted.
He was in poor health, as he would be for the remainder of his life.

Later career
Goudchaux continued to support the government until it resigned on 10 December 1848 after the election of Louis Napoleon as President of the Republic.
After that he opposed the Ministry of Odilon Barrot.
In May 1849 Goudchaux was not reelected to the Assembly.
He did not accept the coup on 2 December 1851 that would lead to establishment of the Second French Empire.
In September 1852 he ran unsuccessfully for election as Republican candidate for the 4th district of the Seine.
In June 1857 he was elected for the 6th district of the Seine, but refused to take the oath to the Emperor and could not take his seat.
Michel Goudchaux died in the eighth arrondissement of Paris on 25 December 1862, aged 65.

Then in 1852, he served in the Wisconsin State Assembly. He lost a bid to return to that seat in 1853, losing by 224 votes to Samuel Colley, the candidate of the new Republican Party. Hackett was mayor of Beloit, Wisconsin in 1879. He died in Los Angeles, California in 1886, where he had gone because of ill health.

Legacy
His former house, now known as the Lathrop-Munn Cobblestone House, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Hackett Memorial Horse Trough, is located at the SE CORNER OF W GRAND AND BLUFF, FIELD PARK.

title: Methone cecilia

text:
Methone is a genus in the butterfly family Riodinidae present only in the Neotropical realm.

Taxonomy
The genus Methone is monotypic. The single species is Methone cecilia is unmistakably characterized by the conspicuous colouring and the deeply indented margin of the hindwing being continued in the female at the ends of the veins into teeth-like small tails. On the forewing the subcostal is four-branched; the branches 1 and 2 rise before, 3 and 4 behind the cell. The hindwing is without a basal vein. The palpi are extremely short.

The colouring resembles that of certain Themone, Cartea, Monethe, Aricoris which imitate butterflies such as Ithomiinae and pericopine moths. The females are very stout and clumsy which makes them still more similar to the unwieldy Actinote. They are quite common but they are local and seem not to leave their birthplace.

List of subspecies
 M. c. cecilia present in Suriname and French Guiana
 M. c. chrysomela (Butler, 1872) present in Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia
 M. c. magnarea (Seitz, 1913) present in Brazil (Amazonas), Peru and Bolivia
 M. c. eurotias (Stichel, 1919) present in Ecuador
 M. c. caduca (Stichel, 1919) present in Costa Rica

title: San Francisco tech bus protests

text:
The San Francisco tech bus protests were a series of protests in the San Francisco Bay Area beginning in late 2013, when the use of shuttle buses employed by local area tech companies became widely publicized. The tech buses have been called "Google buses" although other companies—such as tech companies Apple, Facebook, and Yahoo, and biotechnology corporation Genentech, also pay for private shuttle services.

The buses are used to transport employees from their homes in San Francisco and Oakland to corporate campuses in Silicon Valley, about  south. Anti-tech bus protesters viewed the buses as symbols of gentrification and displacement in a city where rapid growth in the tech sector and insufficient new housing construction has led to increasing rent and housing prices.

In reaction to the protests, the City of San Francisco began provisional regulation of the shuttle services in August 2014, with some of the shuttle stops being closed or reassigned to other locations within the city. A permanent solution, known as the Commuter Shuttle Program, took effect on February 1, 2016. This subjected the shuttle services to regulatory processes and monetary compensation requirements, imparting greater legitimacy upon their use. Owing to these new regulations, by May 2017 the protests had largely abated.

Background

The core issues surrounding the use of buses were that only employees of tech companies were allowed to use them, and for a substantial amount of time the buses used city infrastructure without compensating the city for their use. According to Berkeley professor Abigail De Kosnik, the resulting protests can be viewed as "synecdoches for the anger that many San Francisco residents feel towards technological privilege and its facilitation of a widening of a class divide in the city", and that the Google bus protests were "attempts to disrupt the smoothness of technological privilege's spread."

Transportation needs
Growth in the technology sector of Silicon Valley at the beginning of the 21st century encouraged an influx of tech workers to the area, increasing demand for public transportation in the greater Bay Area. Inadequate links between San Francisco and Silicon Valley workplaces became a leading factor in Silicon Valley employers' 2008 implementation of tech buses as viable alternatives for transportation. As a net gain, busing ensured employees had a convenient way to commute to work while allowing for tech workers to live outside of Silicon Valley. According to a 2012 report by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), there were approximately 6,500 tech commuters who used shuttle buses to take them from their respective homes to work locations outside the city.

Gentrification

At the same time, the growth of the technology companies caused gentrification. Rents were rising and evictions were increasing in frequency by late 2013. The use of exclusive busing services, along with the suburban locations of tech companies, served to isolate tech workers from other San Francisco residents in a manner similar to gated communities. One commentator remarked:
The buses roll up to San Francisco's bus stops in the morning and evening, but they are unmarked, or nearly so, and not for the public. Most of them are gleaming white, with dark-tinted windows, like limousines, and some days I think of them as the spaceships on which our alien overlords have landed to rule over us. Sometimes the Google Bus just seems like one face of Janus-headed capitalism, in that they contain the people too valuable even to use public transport or drive themselves.

Dueling transportation systems
Concerns soon arose over the busing, most notably the shuttles' use of public bus stops. Having different transport systems attempting to use the same areas at each stop in an uncoordinated fashion brought about unnecessary traffic congestion, for which the City of San Francisco was not compensated. An internal city report stated:Prior to August 2014, San Francisco did not regulate or collect fees from commuter shuttles. Shuttles operated throughout the City on both large arterial and small non-arterial streets. Shuttles loaded and unloaded passengers in a variety of places whether it was legal or not, including white loading zones, red Muni zones, and other vacant curb spaces. When curb space was unavailable, shuttles often would load or unload passengers in the travel lane. The lack of rules for where and when loading and unloading were permitted resulted in confusion for shuttle operators and neighbors, inconsistent enforcement, and real and perceived conflicts with other transportation modes.

Protests
The protests started on December 9, 2013, when activists from a group called Heart of the City blocked and entered a double-decker bus used by Google at 24th Street and Valencia in San Francisco's Mission District. The main strategy used during the protests was to briefly detain buses while engaged at their stops loading passengers. Afterwards, messages by the protesting groups were disseminated through media, communicating their actions to larger audiences outside the city. This sparked other groups across the Bay in Oakland and out of state in Seattle to protest private tech commuter buses in their areas. In the majority of incidents, protesters merely blocked the buses from leaving their stops. At a protest organized by Eviction Free San Francisco on December 20, 2013, a group of protesters blocked a bus while an organizer using a loudspeaker from the back of a truck drew attention to the blockade, which lasted 30 minutes.

On April 1, 2014, April Fools' Day, protesters wearing blue, yellow and red costumes blocked a tech bus carrying Google workers at 24th and Valencia, preventing it from departing. An organizer named "Judith Hart" — claiming to be the president of Google's new Gmuni division – began answering questions on a loudspeaker from the gathering crowd of onlookers while distributing Gmuni passes, which she claimed allowed the public to ride the tech buses for free. After several people from the crowd were denied boarding, the organizer acknowledged to arriving police that the bus driver "may not have received notice of the program" and the bus was ultimately allowed to depart.

Across the bay in Oakland, protesters were more pointed in their blockade, with one protester breaking the window of a bus while an unrelated second protester slashed the tire of another bus. Other protesters detaining a bus in Oakland unfurled a banner containing expletives. In one incident on April 2, 2014, a protester climbed to the roof of a Yahoo bus close by Bay Area Rapid Transit's MacArthur station in Oakland, and vomited on the windshield. According to an organizer from San Francisco, the protests in Oakland were not affiliated with the San Francisco groups, with "the only real connection is that most of our communities are being heavily displaced and people are very angry".

Reactions

Law enforcement
In almost all incidents, the protesters who were obstructing buses eventually moved of their own accord or at police direction. Very few incidents of arrests were made during the protests, due largely to so-called Graham factors, whereby use of the police power to arrest is considered inexpedient in cases where people are viewed as peacefully protesting. In these cases, San Francisco Police Department officers are trained to de-escalate the situation by using other, non-confrontational means, such as communicating with non-compliant subjects.

SF Board of Supervisors
With the accumulation of media and public interest that the protests garnered, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors held their first three-hour meeting on the protests at City Hall on January 7, 2014. Tech bus operators had been offered a solution whereby they would be charged $1 per stop per day, regardless of how many workers got on or off. Angry residents, citing the $2 fee San Franciscans had to pay to board city buses, demanded that the private bus services pay more for their share. In the meantime, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency was asked by the Board of Supervisors to commission a panel to begin gathering information on a long-term solution. Six months later, in July 2014, SFMTA began implementing its first preliminary fee of $1.00 for each public stop used by the buses, which was expected to raise $1.5 million during the 18 months that it was to be in effect.

Tech companies
In February 2014, Google donated $6.8 million to SFMTA to provide free public transit for low-income children in San Francisco. On March 31, 2014, tech-advocacy group sf.citi—led by Ron Conway, angel investor in Google and other tech companies—released a statement of support for SFMTA's pilot program.

Resolution
In 2015 SFMTA released the results of its fact-finding pilot program, which found that about 47% of workers in tech areas would commute to and from work using their own vehicles if they did not have the tech buses available to them, increasing the amount of privately owned vehicles on area roadways. This led SFMTA's board of directors to approve a broader solution, thereafter known as the Commuter Shuttle Program. The program allowed the city to regulate the buses by delineating where they could travel to, their size, and how much each bus was to pay the city as compensation for their usage of city bus stops. Sporadic protesting continued until February 2016, when SFMTA approved an extension to the program, allowing it to continue beyond its initial end date of March 31, 2017. This extension carried tighter regulations of the buses, including limits to larger buses, final approval on all main roads to be used, and city provided safety training for the drivers. Stricter coordination would also be made through continuous GPS tracking of the buses. Finally, the extension made permanent the city's ability to collect their per-stop fee, which as of October 2018 stood at $7.65 per stop.

title: Murder of Hailey Owens

text:
Hailey Owens (August 18, 2003 – February 18, 2014) was a 10-year-old girl from Springfield, Missouri, who was abducted, sexually assaulted and murdered by 45-year-old Craig Wood on February 18, 2014. The killing caught attention nationally. Thousands of people attended a candlelight vigil for Hailey on February 23, 2014. A neighborhood park was later dedicated to her called Hailey's Playground. Her family and friends also advocated for improvements to the state's AMBER Alert system, ultimately leading to the 2019 passage of HAILEY'S Law, which empowers law enforcement officers to issue alerts more quickly and to include a URL with each AMBER alert.

Background
Hailey was born to parents Stacey Barfield and Ryan Owens in Springfield, Missouri. Hailey was a fourth grader at Westport Elementary at the time of her death. In a news interview, Hailey's mother said she enjoyed helping her babysit and loved little kids. Her mother also stated that Hailey was always smiling, laughing, and willing to help anyone in any way she could.

Abduction, rape and murder
At about 5:00 p.m. on February 18, 2014, Hailey was walking home from a friend's house when a man in a truck pulled over, called to her, and asked for directions. As she approached him, he grabbed her, threw her into his truck, and sped away. Michelle and Carlos Edwards were talking in their garage when they saw a gold Ford Ranger truck pull up, and the driver grabbed Hailey. Michelle wrote down the license plate number, and Carlos ran after the truck while another neighbor jumped in a vehicle and followed until the truck eluded him.

As Michelle called 911, Carlos knocked on doors trying to find the girl's parents, the search warrant application said. He described the girl to a boy who said it sounded like his sister and took Carlos to his home to talk with his mother. The license plate number led police to Jim and Regina Wood, who informed them that their son Craig Wood was the primary driver of that vehicle.

Hailey's body was found in Craig Michael Wood's home in Springfield. It was inside two garbage bags within plastic storage containers in the basement of the house. She had been raped and shot in the back of the head. There were marks on her wrists indicating that, at some point, she had been tied up. There is video footage of Wood disposing of Hailey's clothing in a dumpster. There is also footage of him buying two bottles of bleach and Liquid Plumber on two separate trips.

Perpetrator

The suspect in the murder was Craig Michael Wood (born March 25, 1968). He was 49 years old at the time of his conviction. Wood once worked in Springfield as a paraprofessional worker and worked for 16 years as a school football coach at Pleasant View Middle School. He also worked there supervising suspensions and as a teacher's aide and substitute teacher.

Police found over a dozen firearms in his home, as well as child pornography. While searching a bedroom dresser in Wood's home, they discovered stories about sexual fantasies. Two of these handwritten stories involved girls aged 13. Also found were four pictures of young female students who attended the school where Wood had been employed.

Wood had a criminal record. In 1990, he pleaded guilty and was fined $100 after being found in possession of a controlled substance. In 2001, he was convicted of the misdemeanor of stealing wildlife.

Wood's friends report him as having never married or having children and as an amateur bluegrass musician.

Trial and verdict

Wood's trial began October 30, 2017, and prosecutors intended to seek the death penalty, against the wishes of the victim's family. The defense was that the crimes were committed by Wood, but were not premeditated.

On November 2, 2017, the jury found Craig Wood guilty of first-degree murder. The same jury could not agree on a unanimous verdict for the death penalty for Wood, leaving the judge to decide on the sentence.

On January 11, 2018, Judge Thomas Mountjoy sentenced Craig Wood to death by lethal injection. Despite opposing the state's decision to seek the death penalty rather than accepting Wood's plea deal for life without parole, Owens' mother, Stacy Herman, expressed support for Wood's death sentence after the trial, stating that Wood "got what he deserved".

Reaction
A candlelight vigil was organized a few days after Hailey Owens' abduction. Thousands of people marched in the city, ending at a footbridge decorated with purple lights, Hailey's favorite color.

A neighborhood park named Hailey's Playground was dedicated to her.

'Hailey's Law'
Hailey Owens' family, joined by the family of Craig Wood, advocated for Hailey's Law, which would consolidate the systems in which an Amber Alert is issued, allowing an alert to be issued faster by local police. After almost 5 1/2 years, the law was passed in 2019 and signed by Governor Mike Parson in July. The law went into effect on August 28, 2019.

In 2004, Persimmon Ridge, LLC donated  of land for the Garden site. The Oklahoma Centennial Commission awarded grants totaling $2.2 million to the OCBG in 2006 to begin construction on the site. The Assistant Principal Chief of the Osage Nation conducted a Blessing of the Land ceremony for the garden in 2007.

A  lake and  visitor center were dedicated in 2008, and opened to the public in 2009. F. Todd Lasseigne was named to run the garden in 2011. In 2013, some 1,200 plants were added, and the facility was renamed as the Tulsa Botanic Garden (TBG).  Development continued during the following winter in preparation for the garden's April 2014 reopening.

Construction of water and electric mains to the Tulsa Botanic Garden was completed during the summer of 2014. Previously, the facility had to truck in water and use a portable propane generator to supply electricity. During early 2014, the center completed an outdoor shade structure, covering an area of . This structure will shelter plants that can not be grown in full sunlight. The center plans to build an indoor structure of the same size. Staff offices, which had been in the Harwelden mansion, moved to the center in the fall of 2014.

The Garden announced progress on their first capital campaign, titled ""Reaching for Generations,” on October 2, 2014.  The campaign, whose goal is to raise $17 million, will fund the construction of four gardens: The A.R. and Marylouise Tandy Floral Terraces will be a formal garden, set on four acres, that will showcase colors and textures throughout the season, using ornamental plants including perennials, shrubs and bulbs. The Children’s Discovery Garden is designed as a “wonderland” environment to provide experience-based learning for children and families. The Lotus Pool will highlight aquatic plants, like lotus and water lilies, and be surrounded by the circular All Seasons Garden that will be filled with plants throughout the year.

Cole taught herself how to play guitar and piano, and began performing live at age 16. During the early stages of Cole's career, her mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
