title: Morkalla railway line

text:
The Morkalla railway line was a railway in the Millewa region of north-western Victoria, Australia. It extended west from Red Cliffs railway station on the Mildura railway line into wheat farming areas established as soldier settlements after World War I.

The line opened initially with limited services to Karawinna in 1923. An extension to Werrimull was officially opened to general traffic on 10 April 1924, and it was further extended to Meringur in October 1925. The final extension was to Morkalla, which opened in June 1931. As the towns along the line shrank, due to reduced populations caused by increasing farm size and mechanisation, the line became used only on a seasonal basis, and was closed completely in 1988. The Red Cliffs to Meringur section was dismantled during 1990 and 1991.

A very short section of the line near Red Cliffs has been rebuilt in a  narrow gauge by the Red Cliffs Historical Steam Railway, which operates monthly tourist services, using heritage locomotives.

There were several proposals to extend the line across the border into South Australia to connect with the South Australian Mallee railways, either joining the line to Renmark near Paringa, or as an extension of the Peebinga railway line. There was support from South Australians in the Riverland region to achieve the connection, but it appears not to have been supported by the state government of the day.

Route
The line began at Red Cliffs,  south of Mildura. It ran roughly west, 10–12 km south of what is now the Sturt Highway.

Towns and settlements along the line included:
 Thurla
 Benetook
 Pirlta
 Merrinee
 Karawinna
 Werrimull
 Bambill
 Yarrara
 Meringur
 Karween
 Morkalla

Plot
Prince Po (Andy Lau) possesses extraordinary talent but has an uninhibited nature, which worries his father Yung-ching Emperor (Lau Siu-ming) as he cannot decide whether Po can inherit his throne and promote the Manchu Foundation. In order to pave the way for Po as his successor, Yung-ching breaks up Po's romance with Suen Fuk-yu (Carina Lau), an ethnic Han Chinese, and declares her a Princess, which makes her become Po's younger adoptive-sister. Yung-ching also declares the daughter of Lee Wing-po, the most powerful man of the Eight Banners, as Crown Princess. Although Yung-ching have broke them up, Po and Fuk-yu still date secretly.

Not long after, Yung-ching was assassinated and Prince Po inherits his throne, becoming the Kin-lung Emperor. Because Kin-lung did not understand statecraft, plus the chaotic rebellion of the Miao people, he releases his uncle, the 14th Prince Wan-tai (Paul Chun), who once failed the fight for the throne against Yung-ching. Wan-tai regains his position and helps Kin-lung with government affairs and made it very well organized. However, Wan-tai's ambition comes up again, and desires to seize the throne. Wan-tai then spread rumors everywhere citing Kin-lung has left Beijing to trace his origin. Wan-tai awaits his opportunity to seize the throne. Kin-lung travels to the south in disguise as a civilian and there, he becomes acquainted with Chow Yat-ching (Ha Yu), Tan-ka Mui and Chiu Nam-sing (Sean Lau), whom are members of the Anti-Qing society "Chung Yee Tong". After a thorough investigation, Kin-lung was able to prove that he is indeed a Manchu and knows that Wan-tai is up to no good. After Kin-lung's identity was exposed, the members of "Chung Yee Tong" turned against him and Kin-lung can must reverse the situation to resolve the crisis both inside and outside of the palace.

title: Eugénie Cotton

text:
Eugénie Cotton (13 October 1881 – 16 June 1967) was a French scientist, socialist, women's rights advocate and was active in the resistance. She was awarded the Stalin Peace Prize in 1951, Knight of the Legion of Honor, and the Gold medal from the World Peace Council in 1961. She died at 85 in Sèvres, near Paris.

Family life
Cotton was born Eugénie Elise Céline Feytis in Soubise (Charente-Maritime). She enrolled at the École normale supérieure de jeunes filles (ENSJF) in Sèvres in 1901 where she became a pupil of Marie Curie, and met Pierre Curie and Paul Langevin. In 1904, she was first in the female competition of the aggregation of physical and natural sciences. After graduation, she taught at the college in Poitiers and then at the ENSJF.

In 1913, she married fellow physicist Aimé Cotton (1869 - 1951) who was a professor at the Faculty of Science in Paris and at the École normale supérieure in Saint-Cloud. They had four children (one of whom died shortly after birth).

In 1925, as a doctor of physical sciences, Eugénie Cotton was a research master at the National Center for Scientific Research, the largest French public body of scientific research. She also became director of the ENSJF in 1936. There, she participated in the reform of women's studies, raised the level of science education and developed the on-site laboratory and research.

Wartime activities
A member of the French Communist Party, she helped the German anti-fascists who had taken refuge in France since 1933, and then she went on to support insurgents fighting fascism in Spain.

During World War II, the French national Vichy government that supported the German occupation of France mandated that Cotton leave her post at the ENSJF by forced retirement in 1941. In the course of the war, her husband was arrested twice by the Gestapo war but survived the experience.

In 1944, she participated in the founding of the Union of French Women. She was a founding member in 1945 and the first president of the Women's International Democratic Federation. She also served as vice-president of the World Peace Council until her death.

Honors and tributes

During her lifetime, Cotton received the Stalin Peace Prize, Knight of the Legion of Honor and the Gold medal from the World Peace Council.

After her death, several primary schools in the Paris region were renamed after her, such as in Paris, Sèvres, Champigny-sur-Marne, Nanterre, Vitry-sur-Seine, Bonneuil-sur-Marne, or Rosny-sous-bois. There is also a Eugénie Cotton nursery school in Brétigny-sur-Orge, in Choisy-le-Roi, in Trappes and a school in Brittany, in Lanester, as well as in the Aube in Romilly-sur-Seine and in Moselle at Talange.

Her name was also given to a college of Argenteuil and in Montreuil, a street in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, a street in Saint-Herblain on the outskirts of Nantes, a street in Le Havre, as well as a collective crèche in Morsang-sur-Orge in the department of Essonne.

On Venus, the crater Cotton was named in her honor in 1985.

Archives
Eugénie Cotton archives are preserved in the collection of feminist literature held at the library called La bibliothèque Marguerite Durand, 79 rue Nationale, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

title: One Last Question

text:
One Last Question is a short film completed in 2015, directed by Prathamesh Krisang. It is inspired from a true story in 1998 from a blog titled, "Agia to Oxford" by Manjit Nath. The film takes the viewer back to the Indian state of Assam in 1998. It is basically a memoir of a person who had been on the verge of abandoning education and taking up arms against the state, but who was then counseled by his father, which set him on the right and, hence, a better direction. The pivotal character of Tultul’s father in the film has been played by the eminent actor, Adil Hussain.

Written and directed by Prathamesh Krisang. Starring Adil Hussain as 'Deuta', which means 'father, the 30 minute film revolves around a 15-year-old boy named Tultul and his three friends. They are inspired to join an extremist group which has been fighting to gain independence for Assam from the Republic of India. The story is about hope and how teenagers go astray in awe for extremist leaders and their elusive promises. It also portrays how parents can guide their children by informing them of a better way to bring about changes.

The film was premiered on in multiple national and international film festivals. Numerous scenes have been shot at exotic locations around Assam. It took one and a half year for the filmmaker to get the film ready, and this includes getting it crowd funded in the middle of the production . It depicts the state of affairs in insurgency-ridden state of Assam from the Republic of India and how youth is getting attracted by militant outfits. The story evolves as the four friends turn from innocence to violence and are self-imposed to decide their own future.

The film has received a deluge of positive reviews by critics and has won numerous awards and honors in several various film festivals. From winning the Golden Palm Award at 10th Mexico International Film Festival 2015, the film has been honored time and again in film festivals.

Plot
The film revolves around a 15-year-old boy named Tultul and his three friends, who are inspired to join a militant outfit after having been incited with patriotic sentiments by a rebel leader. The trio of Tultul’s friends try to absorb Tultul into their hatched plan of sneaking out of their homes to join the rebel forces, lest they are hindered by their parents. Tultul finds it difficult to make up his mind. Tultul's father happens to discover the revolutionary poems composed by him and realizes the need of a guiding light for Tultul. He guides Tultul out of the dilemma of joining rebellion by informing him that books, and not guns, are the real agents of change. Tultul abides by the advice of his father, gets educated from one of the top universities of the world and moves ahead to be a real harbinger of change, while his friends perish into the inferno of militancy.

The plot is based on the true life-story of a young man from Assam, named Manjit Nath, who had been on the verge of turning into a militant. While touching the underlying issues of armed rebellions, teen militants and importance of education as an agent of change, the attempts to drive home the point that – there is a better way than militancy in which one can help one's community prosper.

Theme
Years of armed struggle, violent military operations, absence of economic development, and hunger for power of cunning extremist leaders color the minds of the young teenagers, drawing them into the nefarious web of teen militancy.

title: Stuart Range, South Australia

text:
The Stuart Range is a low upland in central South Australia, extending about  with a north-west to south-east alignment and passing within  to the south-east of Coober Pedy.

Name
The range is named after John McDouall Stuart, the first European explorer to pass through the area, in 1858.

Formation
During the Late Cretaceous and Tertiary, central Australia experienced crustal compression resulting in very broad, low-amplitude folding, and the Stuart Range formed on a basement upwarp.

Underlying the Stuart Range, the folded sediments include the Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) Bulldog Shale, consisting of grey marine mudstones. Where the Bulldog Shale has been exposed at the surface for long periods it has been subjected to deep chemical weathering, resulting in bleaching and the "multi-hued, picturesque colouration" found in the Arckaringa-Stuart Range landscape.

The prolonged chemical weathering also dissolved silica which, transported through the regolith by the movement of groundwater, precipitated as the ambient conditions changed, forming silcrete (a type of duricrust), with the silica forming a secondary cement binding the sediment grains into sheets of hard, indurated rock, generally parallel to the land surface.

This occurred at deeper levels, at the intersection with the groundwater table (forming groundwater silcrete), or close to the surface, within the soil profile (forming pedogenic silcrete). Groundwater silcretes typically formed in more localised, topographically lower settings such as valley bottoms and slopes, whereas pedogenic silcrete tended to form extensive sheets over very large areas. Over long periods of time, as the landscape was lowered further by weathering and erosion, the silcrete became exposed at the surface as a lag gravel, an armoured carapace of gibbers (also known as a desert pavement), protecting the weaker regolith below from mechanical erosion. The resulting landscapes are relatively flat, undulating plains with low relief.

Throughout the Tertiary the Stuart Range has been an important palaeodrainage divide, between the Eucla and Lake Eyre basins.

In places where fluvial erosion has been more active, gullies have dissected the palaeosurface of the upland, forming a characteristic tableland topography where a continuing process of scarp retreat leaves behind mesas and buttes, which persist until their residual silcrete capping is finally lost.

title: Maenggol Channel

text:
The Maenggol Channel () or Maenggol Sudo or Maenggol Waterway is a sea channel named after the Maenggol Island south-west of the Korean Peninsula. Stretching  wide between the Geocha Archipelago and the Maenggol Archipelago and running south-east for , the channel has provided a shortcut for ships that try to save fuel and time.

The Maenggol Channel has one of the most rapid and unpredictable currents in the Korean Peninsula due to tidal shifts. A 2012 study estimating the prospective tidal current energy resources off the south and west coasts of Korea ranked Maenggol Channel second in South Jeolla Province only surpassed by Myeongnyang Strait that already features the Uldolmok Tidal Power Station.

In April 2014, the passenger ferry MV Sewol capsized in the Maenggol Channel north of the island Byeongpungdo, and sank off the coast of Donggeochado.

title: Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre

text:
The Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre is a wildlife conservation and research centre for improving animal welfare and rehabilitation of the Malayan sun bear (Helarctos malayanus). It also aims to raise public awareness about the plight of the sun bears and to raise conservation awareness about this species.

The BSBCC was established as a non-profit organisation in Sabah in 2008. It is a joint project between sun bear researcher Wong Siew Te, Land Empowerment Animals People (LEAP), the Sabah Wildlife Department (SWD) and the Sabah Forestry Department (SFD).

The BSBCC is neighboured to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre in Sepilok and shares veterinary facilities, personnel, parking, access roads and ticket gates.

History
Seeing sun bears kept in dreadful conditions during his study drove the wildlife biologist Wong Siew Te on a quest to open a facility to improve their welfare.

The search for a suitable place unlocked a 2.5 ha site within the 42 km2 Sepilok-Kabili Forest Reserve. The area is adjacent to the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre and once housed a Sumatran rhinoceros captive breeding programme which stopped in 2006 after the death of the last male rhino there.

The BSBCC started in 2008 with taking over the responsibility of seven captive bears under the care of Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre.

In March 2010, the first phase of the structural development of the centre culminated in the opening of a new 20-bear house and outdoor enclosures in the Sepilok Forest Reserve. In April 2010, the existing captive bears were moved into their new living spaces, integrated into 'bear groups' and given access to outdoor enclosures during the day.

A second phase of the project started in September 2010 with the goal to convert the old bear house into offices, a visitor centre and gift shop. It also included the establishment of a quarantine area for up to 10 bears, as well as construction of a new viewing platform and refurbishment of existing boardwalks and trails on the site.

By June 2014, the number of sun bears in the centre has increased to 33. Future developments will involve construction of a second bear house and forested enclosures with capacity for 20 additional bears.

Mission
The mission of BSBCC is neither to be a zoo or merely a tourist attraction, but a centre to improve animal welfare, and for education, research and rehabilitation.
To follow up this objective, it was necessary to create the capacity to confiscate, rehabilitate and release suitable orphaned and ex-captive bears back into the wild. For captive bears, which cannot be released, it was desirable however, to provide an improved long-term living environment.

At the same time, the centre aims to be a strong base to educate the public about the plight of the sun bears, to raise conservation awareness about this species, and to conduct more research on
this species.

Through ongoing research, increased knowledge and awareness, and further protection of habitat, the centre wants to achieve increased protection for sun bears and their habitat.

Facilities of BSBCC

The layout of the centre is divided in three parts, with areas prioritised to visitors, bears and staff members:
Visitor centre, walkways and observation platform
Outdoor habitat of the sun bears and indoor overnight quarters of the bears
Administrative and veterinary facilities

Bears of BSBCC
Sun bears fall under Schedule 1 of the Totally Protected wildlife species list in the Sabah Wildlife Conservation Enactment 1997. That means, that killing, keeping a bear, or having in possession body parts like claws and gall bladders could result in punishment of up to five years’ prison or a maximum of RM50,000 fine. In the past, a lot of sun bears have been captured from the wild and kept as pets in cages. Actively confiscated by the Sabah Wildlife Department or voluntarily surrendered to BSBCC, the centre is rescuing these captive bears, and giving them proper care and facilities to live in.

Organisation structure
The BSBCC was established as a nonprofit organisation in Sabah in 2008. The board of directors is manned with Cynthia Ong (CEO of LEAP), Wong Siew Te (CEO of Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre), Fred Kugan (Deputy Director of Sabah Forest Department) and Augustine Tuuga (Deputy Director of Sabah Wildlife Department). The centre employed by end of 2013 eleven staff members as Centre Coordinator, Environmental Education Officer, Research & Reintroduction Coordinator, General Workers and Animal Keepers.

SITI: An Iconic Exhibition of Dato' Siti Nurhaliza was a month-long fundraising exhibition of paintings and artworks that were inspired by the achievements made by Malaysian recording artist, Siti Nurhaliza. With 17 artworks from 15 Malaysian, one Spanish and one Iranian artists, the show was one of the events that is a part of Siti Nurhaliza's effort to raise funds for her foundation, Yayasan Nurjiwa. The artworks showcased range from paintings, sculptures, calligraphies, new media arts, stencil arts and mixed media arts. The exhibition is among the first of its kind in Malaysia where the main subject of the exhibition is a pop star.

Launched on 27 February, the gallery was opened to public until 26 March 2014.

Background and development

The project was a collaboration between Artelier Gallery and Siti Nurhaliza Productions as a fundraiser for Yayasan Nurjiwa a charity foundation founded by Siti and her husband, Datuk Khalid. The exhibition is a continuation of Siti's effort to raise funds for her foundation after her January 2014 concert, "Dato Siti Nurhaliza Live in Concert - Where the Heart is". Another objective of the exhibition was also to bring the public closer to the fine arts, through Siti Nurhaliza, a Malaysian icon.

The exhibition project began several months earlier, when Artelier Gallery started to scout for potential artists who have different approaches in producing their own artworks. Overall, 17 artists were finally selected to participate in the art exhibition - 15 Malaysians, one Spanish and one Iranian. Once the artists have been chosen, each of them was given a chance to personally meet and interview Siti before starting to produce their own artworks based on their takes on Siti. Based on the artists' medium of preference, the artworks exhibited range in style - paintings, sculptures, calligraphies, new media arts, stencil arts and mixed media arts.

All paintings that were showcased were up for sale, ranging in price, from RM 1 500 to RM 75 000 apiece. As much as 30 percent of total sales grossed from the paintings that have been sold will be channelled to Yayasan Nurjiwa.

The exhibition is among the first of its kind in Malaysia, in which the sole main subject is a pop star.

title: Rowing at the 1984 Summer Olympics – Men's single sculls

text:
The men's single sculls competition at the 1984 Summer Olympics took place at Lake Casitas, California, United States of America. The event was held from 31 July to 5 August. There were 16 competitors from 16 nations, with each nation limited to a single boat in the event. The event was won by Pertti Karppinen of Finland, his third consecutive victory (matching Vyacheslav Ivanov's three golds from 1956 to 1964). Silver went to Peter-Michael Kolbe of West Germany; Kolbe, who had also taken silver in 1976, was the ninth man to earn multiple medals in the single sculls and the first to do so in non-consecutive Games (having missed the 1980 Olympics due to the American-led boycott). Canada earned its first medal in the event since 1912 with Robert Mills's bronze. East Germany's three-Games podium streak ended with no rowers from that nation present due to the Soviet-led boycott.

Background

This was the 19th appearance of the event. Rowing had been on the programme in 1896 but was cancelled due to bad weather. The single sculls has been held every time that rowing has been contested, beginning in 1900.

Two of the 14 single scullers from the 1980 Games returned: two-time gold medalist Pertti Karppinen of Finland and eighth-place finisher Konstatinos Kontomanolis of Greece. The 1976 silver medalist Peter-Michael Kolbe of West Germany also returned after an absence in 1980 due to the American-led boycott, as did 1976 sixth-place finisher Ricardo Ibarra of Argentina. The Soviet-led boycott in 1984 had little effect on the favourites for the event. Karppinen was favoured to win a third gold, though Kolbe (1975, 1978, 1981, and 1983 World Champion) and Ibarra (1975, 1979, and 1983 Pan American champion and 1980 Diamond Challenge Sculls winner) were expected to challenge him.

Guatemala and Puerto Rico each made their debut in the event. The United States made its 15th appearance, tying the absent Great Britain for most among nations.

Competition format

This rowing event was a single scull event, meaning that each boat was propelled by a single rower. The "scull" portion means that the rower used two oars, one on each side of the boat. The course used the 2000 metres distance that became the Olympic standard in 1912.

The tournament used the four-round format (three main rounds and a repechage) that had been used since 1968. The competition continued to use the six-boat heat standardised in 1960 as well as the "B" final for ranking 7th through 12th place introduced in 1964.

 Quarterfinals: Three heats of 5 or 6 boats each. The top boat in each heat (3 total) advanced directly to the semifinals. The remaining boats (13 total) went to the repechage.
 Repechage: Three heats of 4 or 5 boats each. The top three boats in each heat (9 total) rejoined the quarterfinal winners in the semifinals. The other boats (4 total) were eliminated.
 Semifinals: Two heats of 6 boats each. The top three boats in each heat (6 total) advanced to Final A, the remaining boats (6 total) went to Final B.
 Final: Two finals. Final A consisted of the top 6 boats. Final B placed boats 7 through 12.

title: Test environment management

text:
Test environment management (TEM) is a function in a software delivery process which aids the software testing cycle by providing a validated, stable and usable test environment to execute the test scenarios or replicate bugs.

Background
As with a scientific experiment, in Testing repeatability and control of variables is essential. In testing a key component of this control is to manage the environment in which testing is taking place. This environment specifically includes the underlying hardware and software which supports the actual software under test. This encompasses items such as servers, operating systems, communications tools, databases, cloud ecosystems browsers.

In early testing stages only limited formal management of environments is required, if any. For example programmers may typically perform their testing within standardised IDEs which provide control by default. However at later stages, test execution will tend to work across multiple technologies and development streams, and typically involving multiple (teams of) testers. In these circumstances individual testers cannot reasonably be expected to exercise control over the technical landscape. This is where the need for some formal Test Environment Management function arises.

Activities
The activities under the TEM function include:
 Maintaining a central repository of test-environments in scope with their latest version and connectivity details  (Information management)
 Allocation of test environments (booking/scheduling) to teams as per requirement. (Demand management)
 Creation of new test environments as per requirement. (Supply management)
 Environment Monitoring (Monitoring)
 Deleting/ updating outdated test-environments and its details (Housekeeping)
 Preliminary investigation of issues on the environment and sometimes co-ordination till an issue resolution (Incident Management)
 Analyzing data for environment issues, identifying trends and taking pro-active steps to resolve issues / co-coordinating for a long term fix. (Problem Management)
 Test data management to ensure that test data is available to testers when needed via a TDM tool or test data refresh from other environments
 Status Accounting to report on service, usage, and availability metrics to provide full transparency into test environment management activities
 Continuous improvement to continuously evaluate test environment management services for improvement opportunities (people, process, and tools)
 Automation to eliminate manual tasks as much as possible to improve efficiency

Tools
 Configuration management database software : This tool would be required to maintain a repository of the environment components and its versions. The data in this tool would also be helpful in incident management and problem management.
 Booking tool : This tool would be required to capture the allocation of test environments and to check for the availability of the environments. Usage analysis can also be captured in it.
 Problem / incident management tools : This tool would be used to capture the problem / incident data and to manage the life-cycle of the incident / problem. Reports generated based on this data would give good insights into the health of the test environments.
 Test data management tool: This tool allows testers to create, recycle, mask, and use their test data on demand.

Many teams use spreadsheets instead of using specific tools for the first two areas if the data is less. However, if the data is more, it is recommended to use specialized tools for it.

Overheads
 Cost of maintaining a separate team for environment management would need to be justified.
 A lot of co-ordination work would need to be done by the TEMs proactively to ensure they have the latest updates available.

title: Saitoella

text:
Saitoella is a genus of two species of yeast in the family Protomycetaceae.

The genus was circumscribed by Shoji Goto, Junta Sugiyama, Makiko Hamamoto and Kazuo Komagata in J. Gen. Appl. Microbiol., Tokyo vol.33 (1)on page 76 in 1987.

The genus name of Ripartitella is in honour of Kendo Saito (1878–1960), who was a Japanese botanist (Mycology and Lichenology), Microbiologist and Professor from the Osaka University.

The type species, Saitoella complicata, originally isolated from Himalayan soil, had its genome sequenced. The genus is named after professor Kendo Saito for his contributions to the taxonomy of the genus Rhodotorula. A second species, Saitoella coloradoensis, isolated from insect frass found on Engelmann spruce in Colorado, was described as new in 2012.

title: Nicole Lévêque

text:
Nicole Lévêque (born January 27, 1951 in Nuillé-sur-Vicoin, France) is a French long-distance runner and marathoner.  She began her International career in her mid-40s, representing her native country in the 10,000 metres at the 1994 European Athletics Championships, coincidentally finishing fourteen seconds and one place ahead of Danish Olympian Gitte Karlshøj.  Her time of 32:12.07 was a W40 world masters record.
  Just a month before the championships, she had set the world masters W40 record at 5,000 metres. A couple of weeks later she won the Auray-Vannes Half Marathon setting the masters world record at 1:11:35.  Her record would stand for eight years until it was displaced by Karlshøj.  She followed just two more weeks later representing France at the 1994 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships.  She repeated in 1995 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships.  In 1996, she set the still-standing W45 world record in the 5,000, the W45 1500 metres world record and came within 5 seconds of Evy Palm's W45 record in the 10,000, a record that is almost 2 minutes faster than any other athletes have achieved.  She ran the Marathon at the 1998 European Athletics Championships, at age 47, setting her personal record at 2:36:52.  Discounting the marathon as an all-inclusive final, she is also listed as the oldest finalist in a European Championship event requiring qualification from her appearance in the 10,000 metres in 1994.  In 2001, at age 50, she again improved the W50 world record in the 5,000, which lasted just over 8 years until it was displaced again by Karlshøj.

title: Reef Life Survey

text:
Reef Life Survey is a marine life monitoring programme based in Hobart, Tasmania. It is international in scope, but predominantly Australian, as a large proportion of the volunteers are Australian. Most of the surveys are done by volunteer recreational divers, collecting biodiversity data for marine conservation. The database is available to marine ecology researchers, and is used by several marine protected area managements in Australia, New Zealand, American Samoa and the eastern Pacific.

Function

Reef Life Survey provides data to improve biodiversity conservation and the sustainable management of marine resources. They collect and curate biodiversity information at spatial and temporal scales beyond those possible by most scientific dive teams which have to work with limited resources, by using volunteer recreational divers trained in the RLS survey procedures. The University of Tasmania houses and manages the RLS database, and the data is freely available to the public for non-profit purposes through public outputs, including their website.

History

Reef Life Survey was started by researchers at the University of Tasmania and initially funded by the Commonwealth Environment Research Facilities (CERF) Program. This program is the core activity of the Reef Life Survey Foundation Incorporated – a not for profit Australian organisation.

Personnel

Reef Life Survey includes a volunteer network of recreational scuba divers, trained in the relevant skills, and an Advisory Committee. The advisory committee is made up of managers and scientists who use the collected data, and representatives of the recreational diver network.

Procedures

Standard survey procedures are used matched to a variety of habitat topographies, and using simple equipment - waterproof clipboard with records sheet, underwater camera, and 50m surveyor's tape measure. The surveys are typically repeated at irregular intervals at listed sites, identified by GPS location, transect depth and direction, and are usually conducted as a pair of transects in opposite directions from the nominal position, at approximately constant depth. Data collected includes fish counts by visual census in a 5m x 5m corridor on both sides of the transect line (Method 1), mobile invertebrate counts in a 1m corridor on both sides of the line (Method 2), and photo-quadrats at 2.5m intervals along the 50m transect line. Manufactured debris may also be recorded. Off transect observations of interest are recorded separately (Method 0). Numbers and size class are recorded for fish, just numbers for most invertebrates.

Data
Since 2006, divers have collected data for RLS from over 44 countries. As of September 2015, more than 4500 species have been recorded from over 7000 surveys.

Expeditions

A circumnavigation of Australia by volunteer citizen scientists aboard the sailing catamaran Reef Dragon left Port Davey, Tasmania, on February 16, 2013, on an counterclockwise journey around the continent of Australia and ended in February 2014 in Prince of Wales Bay, Hobart. During the voyage a marine baseline of reef biodiversity for the new Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve network was established.

title: Liverpool Talmudical College

text:
The Liverpool Talmudical College (Hebrew: Yeshiva Torat Chaim)  was a Yeshiva established in 1914 to provide a higher religious education in Liverpool; it was preceded by a Talmud Torah established in c. 1895.
It educated some 200 students a year. It was originally based at the New Central Synagogue (Shaw Street Shul). In 1938 it accepted refugees from Nazi Germany and residential accommodation for the refugees was organised. As Liverpool was a restricted area excluding 'enemy aliens', the College temporarily moved to St Asaph in North Wales. It later moved to self-contained premises in Church Road, Wavertree, a residential district of south Liverpool. With the decline of the Jewish community in Liverpool fewer children enrolled and in the early 1990s the classes moved to the Childwall Synagogue. Amongst its graduates is Rabbi Eli Cashdan.

title: Eltingville (comics)

text:
Eltingville (also referred to as The Eltingville Club) is the name given to a series of comics created by Evan Dorkin. The series ran in his comic books Dork and House of Fun before it received a two-issue run through Dark Horse Comics in 2014. Eltingville was adapted into a pilot for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block in 2002, but was not picked up for an official series. The series has won three Eisner Awards, beginning with the 1995 story Bring Me the Head of Boba Fett. Of the series' title, Dorkin chose to name the series Eltingville after Eltingville, Staten Island, where he worked off and on in a comic book store for six years.

Synopsis
The Eltingville comics surround a group of four teen boys (Bill, Pete, Josh, and Jerry) in Eltingville, Staten Island, who are interested in various elements of geek culture, with each character showing a specific interest in one area. Dorkin has described the characters as "four older teenagers who are fans, and they’re possibly some of the worst fans who have ever lived." The series places the characters in various scenarios which Dorkin utilizes to parody common stereotypes and situations which he or others have come across in comic book and geek fandom.

Characters
William "Bill" Dickey: Bill is the de facto leader of the quartet and is shown to have a heavy interest in comic books and sci-fi shows and movies. He has an extremely overbearing personality and is greatly disliked by his peers, including the other members of the Eltingville Club. In This Fan, This Monster he is hired to work at the local comic book store Joe's Fantasy World and quickly allows the power to go to his head, resulting in the store's destruction. He is of average build and wears glasses. In the comic series, it has been mentioned that he has a younger brother, but in the pilot his brother is replaced with a younger sister, Jane. Bill has been frequently implied to be the most sadistic and sociopathic of the four, as he attempted to murder his whole club and Joe by setting fire to his store in a fit of insanity. During the final issue of the comics, Bill is shown to have unsuccessfully transitioned into adulthood as he is still living at home, is still a virgin, has had at least one failed business, and is more unpleasant than he was before, as his bitterness towards life and women has further warped his personality.
Joshua "Josh" Levy: Josh is an overweight Jewish teen with glasses and dark hair who is heavily interested in sci-fi films, books, and television shows, especially anything Star Wars related. He is one of Bill's primary antagonists in the series and the two often get into fights, either verbal or physical, which end in either Pete, Jerry, or both of them breaking it up. Dorkin has stated that Josh is a composite of two different people that he knows. It is implied that he has an ill mother, as she takes strong medications and has a history of heart attacks. As an adult, Josh is depicted as working for a comic book news website, with the hopes that it will serve as a stepping-stone to becoming a comic book writer, despite his fiction writing getting repeatedly rejected by publishers and his former college professor.
Peter "Pete" DiNunzio: Pete is primarily interested in horror. He is somewhat based upon a friend of Dorkin's as well as a "certain kind of Staten Island resident". Pete has dark hair, is shorter than his counterparts, and is of otherwise average build. Pete is an Italian-American, and it has been mentioned in the comics that Pete has a younger sister and several older brothers. In the final issue, Pete is a mostly bald adult that has found employment as a member of a film crew that specializes in creating horror porn, a position that he frequently uses to exploit desperate female performers.
Jerry Stokes Jr.: Jerry is more withdrawn and quieter than his counterparts and is interested in fantasy role-playing games and role-playing gaming in general. His meek demeanor causes his fellow club members to view him with some disgust, as evidenced in This Fan, This Monster where Pete uses gaming terms to insult him and Bill later rants that Jerry has never really made any of his "saving throws". Jerry is based upon several different people. Jerry is of average weight and height and has blond hair. He has a habit of imitating Twiki and appears to be of a pacifistic nature. Jerry's real name has been said to be Jerome, but in This Fan, This Monster, his real name is Gerald. At the end of the series, Jerry is shown to be the most successful of the former club, as he has found employment as a professional Magic: The Gathering player, has a much higher sense of self-esteem, and is dating a beautiful, popular female pop and geek culture correspondent. In the epilogue, he intended to bring his old club members back together at the comic con and mend their friendship but after Bill caused a riot and revealed he ruined his chance at love with his childhood crush and the rest are worse than they were before, he finally had enough and angrily tells them to do what they want and no longer cares what happens to them. He then leaves, finally severing ties with them for good and cutting them out of his life.
Joe Gargagliano: Joe is an overweight, slovenly adult male and the owner of Joe's Fantasy World. He is shown to have little to no morals when it comes to selling items and frequently mistreats his customers. He also has a book containing nicknames for different customers, including the Eltingville Club. At the end of This Fan, This Monster, Joe's comic book store is destroyed in a fire.

 Eisner Award for Best Short Story for Bring Me the Head of Boba Fett (1996, won)
 Eisner Award for Best Short Story for The Marathon Men (1998, won)
 Eisner Award for Best Short Story for The Intervention (2002, won)

Publishing history
The first Eltingville story was an untitled strip that ran in the first issue of Instant Piano in 1994. Dorkin initially intended for the strip to be a one-shot, but chose to continue writing Eltingville-themed stories due to reader response and his own enjoyment of the comic. Following stories were published through various different publications such as Dork, House of Fun, and Dark Horse Presents. Eltingville was published in the United Kingdom in Deadline as well as in Spain, where strips ran in the Spanish language magazine El Vibora and a collection of the strips were published in 2007 as El Club Eltingville De Comics, Ciencia-Ficcion, Fantasia, Terror y Juegos de Rol.

Development
Dorkin came up with the idea for Eltingville after witnessing comic book publisher and author Dan Vado receive abuse while he was working with DC Comics. Vado killed off the popular character Ice while writing Justice League America, which caused various fans to send him death threats and hate mail. He published the first strip in Instant Piano in 1994 and ended up writing follow-up stories in the Eltingville world over a period of 20 years. The Eltingville characters are an exaggerated portrayal of several people that Dorkin knows and also draws on Dorkin's own likes and experiences as a fan, retailer, and professional. They are meant to portray the fanbase that does not "change or evolve" to embrace changes in geek culture such as the "increasing acceptance and swell of fandom", as they see their fandom as making up their entire identity and being.

Dorkin has received both praise and backlash from readers over his description of comic book readers and the geek fandom. Of Eltingville's humor, he has stated that "The humor is supposed to hit close to home, Eltingville'''s a joke but it's supposed to be an uncomfortable one, it's not about cuddly, cute, awkward fans, it's always been about the unsocial, self-absorbed, arrogant little tyrants that make fandom a less fun place, the idiots who make death threats to creators and rape threats against women writing about sexism in the video game industry, who flip out about the casting of an actor playing a fictional character, who argue the most ridiculous points of trivia as if they honestly matter in the scheme of things, who put fantasy above reality and don't know how to behave like credible human beings and go bonkers if they're called on that behavior. Most fans aren't like that, but in all aspects of life the trolls are the loudest and the proudest and they really junk the joint up."

Welcome to Eltingville

In October 2001, Dorkin work completed on an animated adaptation of the Eltingville stories, entitled Welcome to Eltingville. The pilot episode aired in 2002 as part of Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim and adapted the story Bring Me the Head of Boba Fett''. Critical response for the pilot episode was positive, but the pilot was not picked up for a full series. Dorkin has stated that if he could have done the pilot over again, that he would have delegated more work and that he would have chosen a different story to animate for the episode, as it would have shown a wider perspective for the series and characters.

title: Hillsboro R-3 School District

text:
Hillsboro R-3 School District is a school district headquartered in Hillsboro, Missouri in Greater St. Louis. Hillsboro and some unincorporated areas are in the district boundaries, and it also serves a small section of DeSoto.

History

In June 2014, the school board hired Leigh Ann Cornman, the wife of superintendent Aaron Cornman, as an instructional coach, on a 5-1 basis. Superintendent Cornman was not a part of the hiring committee. There were accusations that superintendent Cornman had promoted the relaxing of hiring policies so his wife could get a job; the superintendent denied those accusations.

In September 2015, the high school experienced a large number of parents and students protesting against the right of a pre-operation transgender student, Lila Perry, to use the girls' locker room and restrooms.

Schools
The district schools occupy a single area divided into two halves by Business Highway 21. The west campus houses the primary school and high school. The east campus houses the elementary, intermediate south, intermediate north, junior high school, learning center, and data center.

title: Calamba Claypot

text:
Calamba Claypot, also known as the Calamba Jar and The Banga, is a landmark in Calamba, Laguna, Philippines which is the largest claypot in the world. It is located at the City Plaza near Calamba Church and Rizal Shrine. Built in 1937, it was constructed as a reference to the origin of the town's name from kalamba, meaning "water jar",  with names of the cities and villages inscribed on its exterior. The giant claypot can also be found in the city's official seal.

The plaza was proposed by the then town councilor Agapito Alzona, to utilize the area where the old town market once stood. The resolution was approved by the then town mayor Roman Lazaro. The giant claypot was designed and created by the sculptor Felipe Samaniego, a University of Philippines graduate who was trained under the famed National Artist for Visual Arts, Guillermo Tolentino.  Construction of the monument began in 1937 and completed in 1939.

title: Nièvre's 1st constituency

text:
The 1st constituency of the Nièvre is a French legislative constituency in the Nièvre département.

Description

The 1st constituency of the Nièvre covers the western portion of the department and includes the prefecture Nevers.

The seat was substantially changed prior to the 2012 election as a result of the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies in which Nièvre lost one of its three historic constituencies. The new seat, like its predecessor, continued to elect Socialist representation until 2017.

The seat was represented by former Prime Minister Pierre Bérégovoy until his suicide shortly after the 1993 election, an election in which the Socialist Party under his leadership suffered a huge defeat.

title: William Mackworth Praed

text:
William Mackworth Praed (3 November 1694 – 1752), born William Mackworth, was an English lawyer and politician.

He was the third son of Sir Humphrey Mackworth MP, and brother of Herbert Mackworth. He was educated at the Middle Temple.

His change of name was the result of an arranged marriage, although the sources disagree on who his wife was. Colburn records that he married Martha, the daughter of John Praed MP, and took Praed's name on marriage.
However, Cruikshanks asserts that this deal fell through, and he married Ann Slaney, the daughter of a wealthy merchant from Bristol, in a deal between Sir Humphrey Mackworth and John Praed, by which half of Ann's dowry went to redeem Praed's debt, in return for which young William Mackworth took the name of Praed and was adopted as Praed's son and heir.

In 1733 he inherited from Praed the Trevethoe estate in Cornwall, which included the patronage of the  parliamentary borough of St Ives, and at the 1734 general election he returned himself as Member of Parliament for St Ives.  He did not stand again in 1741.

William Mackworth Praed had one daughter and three sons:
 Humphrey Mackworth Praed, MP for St Ives 1761–68
 Bulkeley Mackworth Praed

title: Nièvre's 2nd constituency

text:
The 2nd constituency of the Nièvre is a French legislative constituency in the Nièvre département in France.

Description

Following the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies, the 2nd constituency of the Nièvre covers the largely rural east and centre of the department.  Before this, the constituency was based in the north-west of the department.

Until 2017, the constituency returned Socialists at every election since 1988 with the exception of the 1993 election. It was won by ENA graduate Christian Paul in 2012 who previously had represented Nièvre's 3rd constituency, which was combined with parts of the 2nd to form a new 2nd constituency in the 2010 redistricting.

It includes Chateau-Chinon, for many years the electoral base of President Francois Mitterrand.

title: Tony Orchard

text:
Anthony "Tony" Frederick Orchard (13 March 1941 – 19 August 2005) was a pioneer of inorganic chemistry. His research contributed to laying the foundations of much modern consumer electronic technology.

Tony Orchard was born in Carmarthen, Wales, and moved to Swansea. He studied Chemistry first at Wadham College, Oxford as an undergraduate and then towards a DPhil doctoral degree in theoretical inorganic chemistry at Merton College, Oxford. He left Merton College before he had completed his doctorate at the age of 26 to become a Fellow in Inorganic Chemistry at University College in Oxford. He stayed at University College until his death.

During the 1970s, Orchard led a group of researchers working in the area of photoelectron spectroscopy. This enabled scientists to examine the electronic structure of materials. The research was important for technological innovations in modern electronics, helping with the development of advances such as the personal computer and mobile phone. He published the book Magnetochemistry in 2003.

As well as his research contributions, Orchard also helped to improve the system of undergraduate applications for chemistry at Oxford University.

Personal life
Tony Orchard was an amateur sportsman, playing tennis and snooker. At an early age, he won snooker games with the later world champions Terry Griffiths and Ray Reardon.
Orchard's friends included former United States president Bill Clinton, who he met during the 1960s when Clinton was studying at University College as a Rhodes Scholar.
Orchard was married to his wife Jeanne and later divorced, with two sons and two daughters. He died aged 64 of colon cancer.

title: Pic de Maupas

text:
The pic de Maupas is a central pyrenean summit, culminating at  on the Franco-Spanish border.

Toponymy
Maupas means "bad passage" because the passage from the Maupas glacier (today disappeared) and the summit slope is a little awkward.

Geography
Il is located in Aragon in Spain and Haute-Garonne department (France), above Bagnères-de-Luchon.

Topography
Il domine le cirque des Crabioules et Superbagnères au nord, le vallon de Remugne au sud.

Geology
The summit is mainly granitic.

Access
There are many climbing routes. Access is possible on the eastern ridges (from le pic de Boum) and west (from le col des Crabioules, or by intermediate skying slopes). The standard route lies to the north via the refuge du Maupas, then the pass between la Tusse and le pic du Maupas.
