Gustav Kirstein (born February 24, 1870 in Berlin; died February 14, 1934 in Leipzig) was a German publisher, writer, and art collector of Jewish descent.
Life
Kirstein was the son of a doctor. He first studied pharmacy, graduated, worked as a pharmacy assistant for a year, and then turned to the publishing book trade. Later he worked for the publishing house E. A. Seemann, of which he became a partner on October 1, 1899. Later, he was initially managing director of the publishing house. In 1923, Ernst Arthur Elert Heinrich Seemann's son, Elert Seemann (1892-1989), became a partner in the management of the publishing house. He had joined the Nazi party at an early stage.
Kirstein was the founder and publisher of the journal Der Kunstmarkt (1904-1926) and the "Dehmel-Gesellschaft" as well as the owner of the Leipzig cliché company "Kirstein & Co." and "Wendler, Kirstein & Co." respectively, whose office was located at Hospitalstr. 11a in Leipzig. He wrote articles on copyright for the Börsenverein der Deutschen Buchhändler. Starting in May 1904, he was also a member of the German Book Trade Association. Kirstein actively campaigned on the issue of copyright in the years from 1927 onwards for the retention of the 30-year term of protection for literature, and even conducted a collection of signatures for this purpose, to which more than 800 well-known personalities gave their signatures.
On June 26, 1922, Kirstein was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Technical University of Aachen "in recognition of his services to the dissemination and deepening of art historical research, which he has acquired as a publisher and as editor and director of art historical journals, and finally as an author of writings on art".
Art collector
Kirstein was chairman of the "Leipziger Bibliophilen-Abend" from May 1912 until the beginning of 1930. Together with his wife Cläre "Clara" Therese (née Stein, May 18, 1885 to 1939), he was also active as an art collector. According to the Dutch Restitution Committee "Kirstein was a friend and patron of many leading artists of his day, including Max Liebermann, Lovis Corinth and Max Klinger. During his lifetime Gustav Kirstein accumulated a large art collection by such artists as Max Klinger, Max Liebermann, Edouard Manet, Adolph Menzel, Lovis Corinth, Käthe Kollwitz, Georg Kolbe, Carl Spitzweg and Hans Thoma."
Nazi persecution, suicide, seizure of art collection
After the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, Kirstein was forced to give up all public offices. He was urged by Seemann to leave the publishing house. at the end of June 1933. When he died in 1934, his wife took over the management of the publishing house until its closure in 1938.
The Kirstein's art collection was confiscated by the Gestapo in 1939 and handed over to the Leipzig art gallery C.G. Boerner Forty-four works were placed with the storage firm Erhardt Schneider. Therese Clara Kirstein committed suicide in 1939 after her escape to the United States was blocked.
Family
Kirstein's marriage produced two daughters, who emigrated from Germany at an early age, Gabriele (born 1905) and Marianne (born 1907).
Resitution of Nazi-looted art
In 1964 the Kirstein family requested compensation for seizures under the Nazis but their request was rejected by authorities.
However, in 1998 44 countries endorsed guidelines to re-examine museum collections and archives to search for the lost assets of Nazi Holocaust victims at the Washington Conference On Holocaust-Era Assets and the attitude of the authorities changed. In 2000, two German museums returned more than 80 works of art to Kirstein's heirs. Restituted paintings included The Lute Player by Max Klinger and Walchensee, Johannisnacht by Lovis Corinth
In 2020, a provenance researcher at the Georg Schäfer Museum in northern Bavaria, in Germany, quit her job in a protest against the museum's failure to be serious about returning artworks with tainted provenances. Works from the Kirstein family's collection were among those that caused her concern.

Nicklaus Perbix is an American ice hockey defenseman currently attending St. Cloud State University. He was a member of United States national team at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Playing career
Perbix was a star player for Elk River High School, scoring well over a point per game as a senior and being a finalist for the Mr. Hockey Award. After being selected by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the NHL Draft, he played a season of junior hockey for the Omaha Lancers before he began attending St. Cloud State University. He made an immediate splash in the college ranks, helping the Huskies finish atop the NCHC standings, and was named to the conference All-Rookie team. After his sophomore season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Perbix came back the following year in good form and was instrumental in getting St. Cloud to the program's first NCAA championship appearance.
For his senior season, Perbix continued to increase his scoring output and was firing at a point per game pace for most of the year. After the NHL announced that they wouldn't be sending any players to the Winter Olympics, Perbix was selected as a member of the team. Unfortunately, he couldn't stop the team from losing in the quarterfinal round and finishing 5th.

St Paul's Church is a former church building located in Perth, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Standing in St Paul's Square on the Old High Street, at its junction with South Methven Street, it was completed in 1807. The work of architect John Paterson, it is now a Category B listed building. It was one of the first churches to be built in Perth after the Reformation, sparked by John Knox's sermon at the nearby St John's Kirk in 1559.
The church closed in 1986, and fell into a state of dereliction.
In June 2021, the church's bell rang out for the first time in thirty years, completing a £2.2-million restoration of the church into an outdoor performance space.
St Paul's Square
The square in which the church stands is also part of the Category B listing.
Perth band Fiction Factory frequented Bandwagon Music Supplies, which was located behind the church in St Paul's Square. "They would come into my shop wanting to hear their recording on my wee cassette recorder that turned out to be a number six single that still gets played today," said Pete Caban, the shop's owner. "I still see the guys, they still come in." The shop closed in 2020 after 37 years in business, with Caban blaming the delayed work on the church and resultant drop in foot traffic to the square.

La fille de Carilès is a French-language children's book written by Joséphine Colomb and published by Hachette editions in Paris, 1874. The story first appeared in one of Hachette's magazines before reappearing in book form. Colomb received the Montyon Prize in 1875 for this work.
Plot
In the tale of La Fille de Carilès, Carilès is an old man who lives in a wretched garret, and gains his living by selling whirligigs of coloured paper well known that time to little children in France and England. He is alone in the world, very poor, slovenly and lazy, thoroughly contented with his lot until he finds himself responsible for a little girl who has escaped from the cruel hands of some mountebanks. The gradual interest which he feels in the orphan, the self-denying tenderness which underlies the crust of selfishness and idleness that has grown over the solitary old man, and the sunshine which his adopted daughter brings into his life is charming, recalling in a degree, Silas Marner. Not the least well-imagined part of the story is the way in which a family of the middle class, far from rich, lend a hand to bring up and educate "La fille de Carilès", who, does not turn out to be some stolen princess, and remains to make a home for the good old man when age comes upon him.

Elizabeth Mary Aslin (23 March 1923 – 14 April 1989) was an English art historian, administrator, author and lecturer who was a specialist in 19th and 20th century decorative arts. She was a research assistant in the Circulation Department of the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) between 1947 and 1964, before becoming a part-time assistant keeper in charge of Bethnal Green Museum from 1964 to 1968. Aslin returned to the V&A as assistant director to John Pope-Hennessy between 1968 and 1974 and she was later appointed Bethnal Green Museum's Keeper in Charge from 1974 to 1981. She was the author of some books on 19th and 20th century decorative arts.
Early life
On 23 March 1923, Aslin was born at 33 Collegiate Crescent, Broomhall, Sheffield to the architect Charles Herbert Aslin and his wife Ethel Fawcett, the domestic science teacher. Aslin admired the works of her father throughout her life. Aslin was educated at the Slade School of Fine Art and later enrolled at the University of London. She did her wartime service in the Auxiliary Territorial Service and worked to interpret photographs for the intelligence services.
Career
In 1947, Aslin joined the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) as a research assistant in its Circulation Department. She was a member of a group that featured Peter Floud and she planned exhibitions that were in museums across the United Kingdom. Aslin was responsible for the furniture of the semininal exhibition "Victorian and Edwardian Exhibition" in 1952. Ten years later, she authored Nineteenth Century English Furniture, which was the first major study of Victorian furniture.
Aslin joined the Bethnal Green Museum as a part-time assistant keeper in charge in 1964. She immediately began to redisplay the museum's continental furniture and undertook a preparation of British design in the 20th-century for designs in the 1920s and 1930s, incorporating displays popular with the local community. In 1968, Aslin was appointed assistant director to John Pope-Hennessy at the V&A. She was given the responsibility of liasing with the Ministry of Works and was responsible for the buildings, installations and redecorating. The following year, Aslin wrote The Aesthetic Movement: Prelude to Art Nouveau.

After she retired, she dedicated herself to her interests as a life-long member of The Victorian Society. Aslin was a founder member of the Decroative Arts Society, and was a member of both the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society and the Victorian Arts Society. She was a committee member of the Brighton Society in Hove. Aslin researched the 19th century contential cermaics and the designs of Edward William Godwin, and she published E.W. Godwin: Furniture and Interior Decoration in 1986. Aslin lecured in Britain and the United States on multiple topics and collectors, dealers and scholars around the world asked for her opinion.

Suisse secrets was a February 2022 leak of details of more than CHF 100 billion (US$108.5bn, €95.5bn or £80bn) held in nominee accounts linked to over 30,000 clients of Credit Suisse, the largest ever leak from a major Swiss bank.
Background
On 20 February 2022, the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that "over a year ago" it had received secret data on more than 30,000 Credit Suisse bank customers, which provide insights into the inner workings of the bank giant. The data was evaluated by 48 media companies from all over the world, among them the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, The Guardian, The New York Times and Le Monde. Swiss news organisations did not participate in the investigation because a Swiss law concerning bank secrecy forbids the publication of banking secrets.
A number of Credit Suisse clients are known to have been involved in crimes ranging from corruption and bribery to drug and human trafficking. The data covers accounts and transactions from the 1940s up to 2010.

Reactions
Credit Suisse said it "strongly rejects" allegations of wrongdoing. Credit Suisse has alleged it is a coup against the Swiss banking industry as a whole without saying who might be behind it.
The European People's Party of the European Parliament proposed reviewing Swiss banking practices and money laundering status in response to the leaks, asking the European Commission to reclassify Switzerland as a high-risk country for financial crime.
Leaking financial data is a criminal offense in Switzerland. Swiss media have argued that this banking secrecy law runs contrary to freedom of speech and freedom of the press in some cases.

María Elena Caso (18 December 1915 - 6 November 1991, Mexico) was a Mexican biologist who pioneered the study of starfish and other echinoderms in Mexico. She started the National Collection of Equinoderms in Mexico, the most important one in Latin America, which currently counts with at least 100.000 samples from 800 species from the Mexican coast and participated in the foundation of the laboratory of hydrobiology of the Biology Institute at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, currently known as "Marine Sciences and Limnology Institute". She became a reference scientist in marine biodiversity.
Early life and scientific career
María Elena Caso was born in Mexico City (Mexico) in a family of well-known people: her father was the philosopher Antonio Caso Andrade, rector of the former Universidad Nacional de México. Her brother was the archeologist Alfonso Caso. During her childhood she also spent time with relevant Mexican personalities such as José Vasconcelos and Alfonso Reyes.
She studied Biological Sciences in the National Autonomous University of Mexico, where she also completed an MSc degree and received the honorific mention for her thesis in 1943 after reporting the existence of a new species in Mexico, Linckia guildingii.
Together with the Spanish professor Enrique Rioja Lobianco, who arrived in Mexico due to exile during the Spanish Civil War, she co-founded the laboratory of hydrobiology of the Biology Institute at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
In 1961, María Elena completes her PhD thesis.
She visited both the Atlantic and Pacific Mexican coast in search of echinoderms in the harsh conditions of her times and spent more than 50 years of her life to the study of these animals.
Contributions and acknowledgements
María Elena Caso hold several professor and researcher positions at the National Autonomous University of Mexico during her career.
She described 17 new taxa related with equinoderms and published numerous works.
The species of spider crab Podochela Casoae was named after her.

The Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University is an education research and reform institute at Brown University. Its mission is to "understand the causes and consequences of educational inequality and to reduce this inequality through innovative, multidimensional, and research-informed approaches." The institute was established in October 1993 as the National Institute for School Reform and renamed the Annenberg Institute for School Reform in December 1993 following a gift from the Annenberg Foundation.
Prominent educational reformer Theodore R. Sizer worked to found the institute and served as its inaugural director. Since 2018 the institute is has been directed by Susanna Loeb.
History
The National Institute for School Reform was established in October 1993 following a $5 million gift from an anonymous donor. In December 1993, the institute was endowed with a $50 million gift from the Annenberg Foundation and renamed the Annenberg Institute for School Reform. Theodore R. Sizer directed the institute from its founding in 1993 to 1996. In 1998 he was succeeded by Warren Simmons, who led the institute until 2015.
In 2016 and 2017 the university conducted a review of the institute. Following the review, the university moved to shift the institute's focus away from school reform and community-based work to focus primarily on research on educational inequality. In adjusting the institute's focus, provost Richard M. Locke sought to better integrate the institute's work with university research and academic departments. In 2018, Susanna Loeb of the Stanford Graduate School of Education joined the Annenberg Institute as its third executive director.

Ernst-August Künnecke (born 3 January 1938 – March 16, 2002) was a German football player and football coach.
Football career
Künnecke played his youth football with Hannover 96. He advanced and played at amateur level. In 1960 he became amateur champion with Hannover 96. Künnecke remained amateur, but his playing career did not last long. He moved to VfV Hildesheim and later to SV Arminia Hannover, before returning to Hannover 96.
In 1967 Künnecke started his coaching career with SC Tuttlingen, a small amateur club in the south of the Black Forest. In 1969 he signed as head coach for Patro Eisden in Belgium. Afterwards, Künnecke moved to second division Racing Mechelen and won the title and were promoted in the 1974–75 season, but were relegated a year later. He was also head coach for VfR Heilbronn, KFC Winterslag, Lierse S.K. and Waterschei Thor.
Künnecke joined Basel's first team for their 1983–84 season and signed a two-year contract. His reputation grew because of his conveyance, his advancing and his greatest strength was the furtherance of young players. As the season advanced it became increasingly apparent that Künnecke's ideas were not reaching the entire team squad at all times. Basel's youngsters played well during this season, Fredy Grossenbacher, Martin Jeitziner, Peter Nadig, Thomas Hauser and Beat Sutter advanced well under Künnecke. But Künnecke's ideas were not being accepted by the older, experienced players. At home, in the St. Jakob Stadium the team was playing well and winning the games, the first five home games were all won. However, the first seven away games all ended with a defeat. After the winter break Basel lost their first home game against La Chaux-de-Fonds 0–1. Künnecke reacted immediately and this was the last game that the three veterans Arthur von Wartburg, Jörg Stohler and Jean-Pierre Maradan played in the team. The supporters had noted the differences and the final home game of the season attracted only 2,000 spectators. The following season Basel lost three of their first four matches. Then, following a run of five defeats and five draws with only one win, the team suffered one defeat too many against Lausanne-Sport on the 11 November, and Basel's club chairman Urs Gribi fired Künnecke.
Following two seasons with K.V. Mechelen and another with K.R.C. Genk, Künnecke was contacted by Basel's new chairman Charles Röthlisberger. In the meantime, Basel had suffered relegation, Röthlisberger had sacked Urs Siegenthaler and then he re-installed Künnecke as head coach. Künnecke settled in Switzerland and stayed with the club nearly three years, until in March 1992 chairman Röthlisberger released him from his position, due to a run of poor results.
One year as head coach with TuS Celle, two years with Brühl St. Gallen, then a short period with Dynamo Dresden as youth manager, then one season as head coach for Kreuzlingen was Künnecke’s final stations while he lived in Switzerland. In 1998 he returned to Belgium and became the coach of third division team Rita Berlaar. Künnecke suffered from a lingering illness and died in March 2002 from the effects of that illness.

Kai-ihu (or possibly Kaihū) was a Māori rangatira (chief) in the Tainui confederation of tribes, based at Kāwhia, New Zealand. He probably lived in the early seventeenth century.
Life
Kai-ihu was a male-line descendant of Hoturoa, leader of the Tainui waka through his father Te-Ata-i-ōrongo, son of Uetapu / Uenuku-tuhatu, the son of Whatihua.
Murder of Te-Ata-i-ōrongo
Te-Ata-i-ōrongo married Rangi-waea who came from Ōkoro but had been raised at Tairutu near Te Ākau. He came to join her there and Rangi-waea soon became pregnant. During this time, Te-Ata-i-ōrongo went fishing with Rangi-waea's brother. This brother is called Horeta in the version recorded by Wirihana Te Aoterangi and Pei Te Hurinui Jones, but in the Grey manuscript and the version recorded by Elsdon Best he is instead Rākapa-whare, the paramount chief of the tribes of the lower Waikato River. According to Te Aoterangi and Jones only Te-Ata-i-ōrongo caught any fish, so the brother tricked Te-Ata-i-ōrongo into diving down to unhitch his fish-hook from a rock and then pulled on the line so that it smashed it into Te-Ata-i-ōrongo's forehead, killing him. The brother abandoned the body in the sea and told Rangi-waea that he had no knowledge of Te-Ata-i-ōrongo's whereabouts.
In the night, the wairua (ghost) of Te-Ata-i-ōrongo appeared to Rangi-waea in the form of a disembodied hand, told her of the murder and encouraged her to flee to Kāwhia. The ghostly hand lead Rangi-waea on the journey, via Te Iringa, Tapuae-haruru, Ōtakahi, Raglan harbour, Rangipū, Rua-o-te-ata, Kōrero-maiwaho, across Papa-i-ōrongo stream and into Kawhia harbour, where her father-in-law Uetapu had a settlement at Tokatapu. A very similar story about a ghostly hand is told about Tūheitia and his wife Te Ata.
In Pei Te Hurinui Jones' version, Horeta was abused by the people of his village for his crime and the vengeance that it would bring upon them, and eventually he committed suicide by throwing himself off a cliff.
Raid on Te Huaki
Kai-ihu was born at Tokatapu and his grandfather, Uetapu, carried out the tohi baptismal ritual, making him tapu against any sharp object touching his head. As a result of this, his head was covered in lice. Uetapu taught Kai-ihu karakia spells and how to fight with weapons. Meanwhile, plans were made for the construction of a waka (canoe) so that the tribe could undertake an expedition to get revenge (utu) for the murder of Te-Ata-i-ōrongo.
When the waka was ready, the leaders of expedition decided not to take Kai-ihu, because he was too young, but when they set off in the canoe, the waves prevented them from leaving Kawhia harbour two days in a row. On the third, Kai-ihu hid in the base of the canoe and when it reached the sea, he leapt up and sang a tauparapara. Different versions of this chant are given by different authorities. Pei Te Hurinui Jones records it as the same chant sung by Ngātoro-i-rangi to enable the Tainui canoe to leave Hawaiki. Wirihana Te Aoterangi gives a set of three separate chants.
The war party now headed for Te Huaki, the base of Rākapa-whare. They landed by night at Te Muruwai creek. The war party dammed the stream while they dragged the canoe ashore and then released the water so that their footsteps were washed away. Then they concealed the waka with seaweed. At dawn, the people of Te Huaki paddled out in canoes to fish and the war party suddenly launched their waka, bore down upon Rākapa-whare's canoe and killed everyone aboard. Rākapa-whare himself leapt into the water and tried to hide under his canoe, but Kai-ihu found him and killed him.
Records
The earliest record of the story is a manuscript from the collection of Governor George Grey (GNZMMSS 31) composed sometime before 1854. Elsdon Best records a version which he was told in 1894 by Te Karehana Whakataki of Ngāti Toa. A version by Wirihana Te Aoterangi a chief from Raglan who died in 1907, forms the basis of the account by Pei Te Hurinui Jones.

The Badger Green Bay Business College (sometimes Badger-Green Bay Business College) was a private business school in Green Bay, Wisconsin which was forced to shut down by the Wisconsin Educational Approval Board at the end of 1973 after 105 years of operation, due to "inadequate facilities [and] obsolete equipment and curricula". By this time, enrollment was down to 16 students, which the school blamed on news stories in the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
Past history
Green Bay Business College
Green Bay Business College (GBBS) was established in 1868 by a man named Devlin, was soon purchased by a Rev. Blackmun, and in 1880 was taken over by two men named Murch and Hills. John Niven McCunn, a native of Scotland and later U.S. consul in Dunfermline, purchased Hill's share in 1886, and in 1887 bought out Murch as well, as well as bringing in E. F. Quintal as an instructor. He owned the school, which was sometimes called McCunn's Business College after its principal, until 1900. In 1893, he built what was at the time the largest structure in Wisconsin dedicated to a business college.
C. B. Potter and E. F. Quintal, who had been teachers at one of the Brown's Business College schools, bought GBBS in 1901 and as of 1920, it was still under E. F. and Kenneth E. Quintal. In 1924, Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Randall already owned the Green Bay Business College (although Quintal was listed in various directories as Dean). By 1925, after the Randalls had purchased Badger, advertisements for GBBC began to list only Quintal as "Principal and Manager" and cautioned, "There are schools — and schools. Be careful in your selection." In April 1926, C. A. Cowee of Wausau bought half of GBBC; and new ads emphasized the longevity of the school and used the tagline "The Old Reliable School". By August of 1928, Cowee is listed in ads as "President", and the new tagline is "We are an accredited School". In 1930, the school started to advertise "Affiliated with Moser College, Chicago: Paul Moser, J. D., Ph. B., Pres."
In January 1931, ads were for "MOSER Green Bay Business College" as "The Business College With The University Atmosphere", with Moser as Owner and one J. L. Tibbetts as Principal and General Manager. By June, the Press-Gazette flatly announced that the school, which "has changed hands several times" in recent years) had closed ("it is assumed that lack of business was responsible for the closing") and its furniture had already been sold.
Badger Commercial College
In 1913 the Badger Commercial College and Telegraph School had been established, and in the 1920s was reported to be under the proprietorship of Walter E. Twyford.
In 1924, Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Randall, already owning the Green Bay Business College, announced that they had assumed control of the Badger Business College [sic] as well. In July 1924, it was announced that Twyford was still part-proprietor of the school, and in August, while advertisements said "under entirely new management", Twyford was still listed as Principal (S. P. Randall was described as "Manager"), and ads used the name "Badger Commercial College", not "Business College", as they would continue to do so for many years.
Rival GBCC shut down in June of 1931; by June 10, Badger was boasting "we are now the only business college in Green Bay", and in August ran ads inviting recent GBCC graduates to register with Badger's employment bureau to find work.
On January 9, 1934, with the expiration of the old Green Bay corporation's charter, Randall changed the school's name to Badger Green Bay Business College (sometimes hyphenated), citing the familiarity attached to the old Green Bay Business College and the many local notables who had attended it. Quintal remained at Badger-Green Bay as an instructor in penmanship., and in October of 1936 was one of four people from BGBBC to attend a business college conference in Wausau.; but in 1939, he was announced as dean of the new Wood Business College which was to open in September.
Later history
The Randall family were still in control of the school at the time of its 1974 closure.

Henry Eagle was a American commodore that served the American Civil War with his most notable action during the conflict being his service at the Battle of Sewell's Point. He was also a midshipsman as well as commanding several ships during his military career.
Biography
Early career
Henry was born on April 7, 1801, in New York City to his Irish father who served in the Irish Brigade during the War of 1812 and an immigrant from Dublin. Eagle entered service on January 1, 1818, as a midshipsman and was commissioned to the West Indies in 1827. He later served in Brazil and the Pacific Coast and due to his services, he was promoted to Commander in 1844. In 1833, he married Minerva Smith and had several children with her. He then superintended the Stevens iron battery at Hoboken, New Jersey as well as acting inspector in New York in 1846.
Mexican–American War
Eagle commanded the bomb vessel 2Etna and a division of the Pacific Squadron during the Mexican–American War and was then made a civil, military and trade governor of Tabasco. Later in September 1855, he would become a commissioned captain.
American Civil War
When the American Civil War broke out, Eagle was the bearer of communications between Manhattan and Brooklyn as well as volunteering to command the USS Monticello and took it into Norfolk, Virginia to blockade the Chesapeake Bay at the Battle of Sewell's Point. While the battle itself remained inconclusive, Eagle managed to silence the guns at the battle. He later commander the USS Santee as well as capture and destroy the privateer Royal Yacht at the Battle of Galveston Harbor. This resulted in Eagle being promoted to Commodore in 1862 and on January 1, 1863, he was placed on the retired list as well as being a prize commissioner in 1864 and 1865.
Later Years
Later in 1865, he was a lighthouse inspector which he held that post until 1866. He later became a member of several veterans associations before dying on November 26, 1882. Before Eagle's death, Hugh McCulloch personally requested to Richard W. Thompson that Eagle be posthumously promoted to admiral so that Eagle could "die peacefully and contentedly" but this request was denied.
Legacy
Eagle Avenue at 158th Street, Manhattan could possibly be named after Henry although the origins of the name are still in dispute.

Squadron Leader John Thomas Hall, (19 February 1898 – 18 October 1987), was an officer in the Royal Air Force during the world wars.
Early Life
Hall was born in Bath, Somerset on February 19th, 1898, as the illegitimate son of Ada Ellen Hall (1874-1958) and John Thomas Stride (1879-1912). Ada Ellen Hall was the daughter of William Hall (1836-1893), a farmer, and John Stride was the son of Thomas Stride (1851-1927), a brewer. Ada Hall married William Thomas Ford in 1905, and in 1911 the family immigrated to Canada. They settled on a farm near London, Ontario.
Hall had many relatives who had served in the military; his maternal uncle, Edward John Hall (1875-1944), fought with the North Somerset Yeomanry in the Second Boer War, his paternal grandmother's cousin, James Thomas Stride (1846-1910), fought with the 210th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment in the American Civil War, and two of his mother's first cousins, Percy H. Harris (1890-1917) and Herbert G. Harris (1888-1917) were both killed during the Battle of Passchendaele, so when Hall came of age he enlisted to fight in World War I.

He served there during the Battle of Britain and until November 1940, when he was transferred to No. 18 Group RAF at Wick, supervising regional patrols of the North Sea during the Battle of the Atlantic. On December 1st, 1941, he was promoted to Squadron Leader and in September 1942 was posted to RAF Thorney Island.
On June 16th, 1943, Hall was posted to Northwest African Air Forces serving at RAF Setif during the end of the North African Campaign. On June 4th, 1944, he was posted to RAF Bone and in September was transferred to the headquarters command of the Mediterranean Allied Air Forces conducting bombing runs and patrols over the Mediterranean during the Italian Campaign.

Hall was placed on the retired list with rank of Squadron Leader (Retd) on October 15th, 1954.
Post-War

John Thomas Hall died in Snettisham on October 18th, 1987.
Family
On September 21st, 1939, Hall married Winifred Joan Lear (1912-1997), in Dundee, Scotland while he was posted to RAF Leuchars.

In 1897 he was made resident engineer on the widening of the Highland Main Line from Blair Atholl northwards to Dalwhinnie. In 1899, he was appointed Chief Assistant, and in 1901 Assistant Engineer, finally being promoted to Engineer in Chief in 1914.
When the Highland Railway became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway System in 1921 he became Divisional Engineer in Inverness. In 1924 was transferred to the Crewe Division.
He was appointed Chief Civil Engineer of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway on 1 February 1927, retiring on the 1 July 1933.
He served as a member of the Board of Trade Water-Power Resources Committee and of the Water-Power Section of the Conjoint Board of Scientific Societies. He received the C.B.E. in 1920.
He was elected an Associate Member of The Institution of Civil Engineers in 1895, and was transferred to the class of Member in 1912. He was elected a Member of Council in November, 1931. In 1926, he was President of the Permanent Way Institution. He was also a Member of the American Railway Engineering Association and of the Institution of Water Engineers. He was a Justice of the Peace for Inverness-shire.

The normal distributions transform (NDT) is a point cloud registration algorithm introduced by Peter Biber and Wolfgang Straßer in 2003, while working at University of Tübingen.
The algorithm registers two point clouds by first associating a piecewise normal distribution to the first point cloud, that gives the probability of sampling a point belonging to the cloud at a given spatial coordinate, and then finding a transform that maps the second point cloud to the first by maximising the likelihood of the second point cloud on such distribution as a function of the transform parameters.
Originally introduced for 2D point cloud map matching in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and relative position tracking, the algorithm was extended to 3D point clouds and has wide applications in computer vision and robotics. NDT is very fast and accurate, making it suitable for application to large scale data, but it is also sensitive to initialisation, requiring a sufficiently accurate initial guess, and for this reason it is typically used in a coarse-to-fine alignment strategy.
Formulation
The NDT function associated to a point cloud is constructed by partitioning the space in regular cells. For each cell, it is possible to define the mean and covariance of the points of the cloud that fall within the cell. The probability density of sampling a point at a given spatial location within the cell is then given by the normal distribution
.
Two point clouds can be mapped by an Euclidean transformation with rotation matrix and translation vector
that maps from the second cloud to the first, parametrised by the rotation angles and translation components.
The algorithm registers the two point clouds by optimising the parameters of the transformation that maps the second cloud to the first, with respect to a loss function based on the NDT of the first point cloud, solving the following problem
where the loss function represents the negated likelihood, obtained by applying the transformation to all points in the second cloud and summing the value of the NDT at each transformed point . The loss is piecewise continuous and differentiable, and can be optimised with gradient-based methods (in the original formulation, the authors use Newton's method).
In order to reduce the effect of cell discretisation, a technique consists of partitioning the space into multiple overlapping grids, shifted by half cell size along the spatial directions, and computing the likelihood at a given location as the sum of the NDTs induced by each grid.

In Orikuchiism, is a plot archetype found in Japanese folklore and Japanese literature. In these narratives, a hero is exiled from their society, faces a variety of trials and ordeals, and either returns to their society in triumph or dies in exile. Though stories depicting this archetype date to as early as the classical period of Japanese history, use of the term "kishu ryūritan" to describe these kinds of stories collectively was originated by ethnologist Shinobu Orikuchi in 1918.
Characteristics
Orikuchi argued that stories about wandering nobles contain three core elements: a hero of divine birth, the theme of exile, and the movement of the protagonist from a center to a remote margin. The hero is typically a person of high social standing, such as a deity, emperor, or court noble, though stories also focus on other social classes such as criminals and pilgrims. A defining trait of a kishu ryūritan story is the manner in which the hero begins their exile as powerless, but as a result of those they encounter during their wanderings, acquire greater or even god-like powers. Orikuchi saw the archetype as representing a crucial link between early oral accounts of gods and mythical figures collected in the Kojiki, and the emergence of more formalized Japanese historical and literary traditions.
The kishu ryūritan archetype is especially common in stories of the Heian era. Notable examples include The Tale of Genji, The Tales of Ise, The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, and the legends of Ōkuninushi and Yamato Takeru. Orikuchi argues that kishu ryūritan reached its apex in The Tale of Genji, after which changing social conditions lead to a decline in variants and new expressions of the archetype.
Origins of the term
Shinobu Orikuchi's earliest use of kishu ryūritan was in 1918, in the book . He later wrote about it in the 1924 book . In Nihon Bungaku no Hassei Josetsu, Orikuchi attempted to connect the various strands he believed formed the Japanese literary tradition. He argued that the kishu ryūritan archetype was a link between early oral tradition and archaic myths to later literary narratives. Sociologist noted a similiarity between Orikuchi's theory and the 1920 essay by his mentor Kunio Yanagita. In turn, Jonathan Stockdale argues that Heinrich Heine's 1853 work "" may have influenced Yanagita's essay.
Criticism
While critics have concurred with Orikuchi's general analysis of Japanese literature, some have questioned whether kishu ryūritan represents a uniquely Japanese archetype as distinct from other expressions of the hero's journey across cultures. Jonathan Stockdale argues that while Orikuchi correctly identifies the exiled noble as a common motif in Japanese literature, Orikuchi's analysis reveals "an ongoing quest to uncover the origins of a purely Japanese identity, untainted by 'foreign' influence", an approach that is typical of the Kokugaku movement that neglects Chinese and Korean contributions to this archetypal story. Theologian Alain Rocher argued that the link to Japanese mythology was "often somewhat doubtful" and that the hero's descent and exile was only an "extremely tenuous link" between the Kojiki and later stories.

Mazosia lueckingii is a species of foliicolous (leaf-dwelling) lichen in the family Roccellaceae. Found in India, it was formally described as a new species in 2008 by Krishna Pal Singh and Athokpam Pinokiyo. The type specimen was collected by the first author in the Darjeeling district (West Bengal) at an altitude of , where it was found growing on dicotyledon leaves. The lichen has a verrucose (warty) thallus with brown, hairless verrucae, a black hypothallus, and ascospores that measure 34–45 by 4–7 μm with 4 or five septa. The specific epithet lueckingii honours German-born lichenologist Robert Lücking, who, according to the authors, "has made remarkable contributions to the taxonomy and ecology of foliicolous lichens".

The Poodle Dog Restaurants were a series of French Restaurants in San Francisco spanning from at least 1849 to the mid 1960s. While mostly unrelated to one another, the successive restaurants built on each former iteration's success and reputation. During its heyday, the Poodle Dog was the epitome of wealth and opulence in San Francisco, catering to important statesmen, financial leaders, and business tycoons. It also developed a racy reputation for catering to those men's need for a discreet place to meet with their mistresses and ladies of the night. More than anything, it was well known for having impressive foods, being labeled as "the best French restaurant in the city," if not the "best dollar dinner on Earth".
History
Prospectors and Early San Francisco
The Poodle Dog Restaurants trace their origin to San Francisco's earliest days as a city. The first iteration of the Poodle Dog appears to have been a California Gold Rush era restaurant that provided inexpensive french cuisine to those seeking their fortune. Historians do not agree on the origin story of the Poodle Dog's name. Indeed, it has been suggested that the name came from the first proprietor's family dog, or that it was named "Poulet D'Or or Poule D'Or which was unpronounceable to the average American", or that a stray poodle known for begging there became the unofficial mascot and the proprietors "named the restaurant after it for good luck". In any event, historians do agree that there was a Poodle Dog restaurant from San Francisco's earliest days.
The Poodle Dog quickly became a popular restaurant beloved by San Franciscans. By 1868, it had transitioned away from simple French cooking to fine dining with more extravagant food. The clientele shifted accordingly: "Instead of the raw miner, its patron was the stiff collared banker, the frock-coated judge, the spade-beard lawyer - the Argonaut with a little more culture and greyer hair". The Poodle Dog maintained this level of sophisticated diner until its closing, some 100 years later.
The Gilded Age of the Poodle Dog: The 1890s through Prohibition
The Poodle Dog shifted again from mere fine dining to all-out opulence and luxury by the 1890s. Some say this era saw its "greatest popularity as a rendezvous and a restaurant". Diners could expect 23 courses and an even larger wine selection by the end of the century. The menu reflected this: it had swelled to 17 pages. As for the cooking facilities, the Poodle Dog boasted a "vast wine cellar and vegetable rooms, bottling rooms . . . refrigerators . . . a laundry". Cooks there also enjoyed one of a kind dishwashers and stoves, making it notable not to diners but to chefs as well.
During this Era, the Poodle Dog earned its reputation as a "five-storied dome of pleasure". During the lunch hour, it was a "who's who" of famous and powerful businessmen, such as "poets, journalists, physicians, politicians, and luminaries of law". It is said that "the destinies of many important business undertakings was settled at these noon dinners."
The Poodle Dog also had a decidedly more racy reputation in the evenings. It was well known for "its private upstairs dining chambers and love nooks [lending] a sort of Parisian air to the city's nightlife". This reputation was well-documented, and came with an expected level of scandal involving the city's elite, including the mayor of San Francisco.
The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake "put an unhappy end" to the gilded days of the Poodle Dog. The restaurant maintained its reputation - both in the dining room and upstairs - during this era, but it was never the same as the gilded era. Finally, Prohibition dealt it the "finishing blow," and the PD closed its doors on April 15, 1922. The proprietors felt that a French restaurant without wine was not worth keeping open.
Later days
The Poodle Dog remained closed until 1933, when Calixte LaLanne, a former proprietor, reopened it. This iteration was called the "Ritz French Restaurant," until his son changed it back to Poodle Dog after Calixte's death in 1943. The restaurant remained open, although not in the same splendor, until it closed for good in the mid-1960s.
Notable Restaurateurs
Jean Bergez, French-born "epicure and sportsman". Known as one of San Francisco's most famous restaurateurs of the era.
Calixte LaLanne
Louis Courtard
Camille Mailhebuau
Known locations
1849: Washington Street & Grant Avenue (then DuPont), although also claimed to be near Clay and Grant (then DuPont). Other historians believe the first Poodle Dog did not open until 1858, and that its first proprietor was Nicholas Richit.
1868: Bush Street & Grant Avenue., although some say this location did not open until 1873.
1898: Mason Street & Eddy Street, although some say this move did not happen til 1895.
1906: 824 Eddy Street.
1908: 415 Bush Street.
1920: New Montgomery and Stevenson Street.
1942: 65 Post Street.
Legacy
Crab Louie
Many restaurants, past and present, claim to have invented Crab Louis. Historians agree that Bergez-Frank's Poodle Dog has one of the strongest of those claims. Bergez-Frank's originally had a special menu item titled "Crab Leg a la Louis," named for famed restaurateur and co-owner of the Poodle Dog after his death in 1908.

The Poodle Dog was recognized with a cover story in the California State Library Foundation's Bulletin in 2006.

William Byrd was an African-American man who was lynched in Brentwood, Wayne County, Georgia by a mob on May 28, 1922. According to the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary it was the 31st of 61 lynchings during 1922 in the United States.
Background
A number of workers were employed to work on the farm of B.W. Moody, a well-off farmer, who lived near Byrd. One of those who agreed to work at Moody's farm was Byrd's wife. She wanted to ride in the front of the truck to get to Moody's farm but he wouldn't let her. Slighted she complained to her husband, William Byrd. He went to confront him and the argument got out of control with Byrd allegedly shooting and killing Moody and seriously wounded Browning Weaver and Carlos Moody in the arm.
Lynching
Byrd fled into the wilderness but hounds were procured from the sheriff of Wayne county at Jesup, Georgia and used to track him down. He was surrounded and neighbors and shot multiple times, the perpetrators then burned the body.
National memorial
The National Memorial for Peace and Justice opened in Montgomery, Alabama, on April 26, 2018. Featured among other things is the Memorial Corridor which displays 805 hanging steel rectangles, each representing the counties in the United States where a documented lynching took place and, for each county, the names of those lynched. The memorial hopes that communities, like Wayne County, Georgia where Jones was lynched, will take these slabs and install them in their own communities.

Hugh White Comstock (April 17, 1893–June 1, 1950) was an established designer and builder in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. He and Michael J. Murphy were responsible for giving Carmel its unique architectural character. Comstock developed a "Fairy Tale," storybook architectural style, that has been closely identified with Carmel. Twenty-one of his cottages remain in the area today. He also developed the modern use of adobe in construction in an post-adobe brick called "Bitudobe."
Early life
Hugh W. Comstock was born in Evanston, Illinois on April 17, 1893. He was one of the seven children of John Adams Comstock and Nellie Hurd of Evanston. He grew up on his family's farm in Evanston. In 1907, his parents sold the farm and moved to Santa Rosa, California. In 1924, Comstock traveled to Carmel-by-the-Sea, California to visit his sister Catherine and her husband, George J. Seideneck, who were members of the Carmel Art Association. His brother was Judge James Hilliard Comstock of Santa Rosa.
Comstock had a ranch in Yolo County, California. He met Mayotta Browne (1891-1979) in Carmel. She had a successful business making and selling hand-made “Otsy-Totsy” dolls. They were married on April 14, 1924, in Salinas.
Professional background
Because of his wife's successful doll business, she asked Comstock to build her a cottage to showcase the dolls. He and his wife designed and built, a "Fairy Tale" style cottage called "Hansel" on Torres Street near sixth Avenue in 1924. His storybook design was inspired by the English children's book illustrator Arthur Rackham. In 1925, he built the cottage "Gretel" and the "Tuck box" in 1926, on Dolores Street between Ocean & 7th Avenue. He designed the reconstruction of the Forest Theater in 1939, and designed and built the two-story Spanish Mission Revival style Monterey County Trust and Savings Bank (now the China Art Building) in 1930.
His distinctive, Tudor "Fairy Tale" style of architecture became popular, and people started to ask him to build more cottages and stores. Comstock used native materials, using Carmel Valley chalk rock, natual wood, hand-carved planks, terracotta tile, redwood shingles, and hand forged fixtures. The cottages have steep gables, wooden half-timbering with stucco and plaster surfaces, and wood and diamond-paned windows. They often had tall, narrow chimneies covered in battered Carmel stone to create a rustic appearance.
Comstock built his studio in 1927 on the corner of Santa Fe Street & 6th Avenue, as an English county house.
During the Great Depression Comstock used cheaper materials. He made adobe bricks in a plant he built in Carmel Valley. His first adobe house was built in 1936. He made a specialized adobe brick called "Bitudobe." In 1948, he published the book Post-Adobe; Simplified Adobe Construction Combining A Rugged Timber Frame And Modern Stabilized Adobe, which described his method of construction, including how to make "Bitudobe." In 1938, he served as an adviser to the architects Franklin & Kump Associates, who built the Carmel High School, which used his Post-adobe system.
Comstock was a Carmel civil leader, on the board of the Carmel Sanitary District for over ten years and was president of the Carmel Unified School District. He helped to outlaw sidewalks and mail delivery to preserve the "forest ambiance." In 1946, he became a member of the Carmel Planning Commission.
Notable work
The following buildings in the Carmel area are attributed to Comstock, most notably the following:
Death
Comstock died on June 1, 1950, at the age of 57, at the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, in Santa Barbara, California. His wife, Mayotta Comstock survived him. He was buried at the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California. His wife died on May 30, 1979, at the age of 87, in Sacramento, California. She was cremated and her remains taken to the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland.

Molly was launched in 1769 at Liverpool. In 1776 she made one voyage as a slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved persons. After, and possibly before, she was a West Indiaman. While sailing under a letter of marque, she captured some notable prizes. Two French frigates captured her on 4 September 1782.
Career
Molly first appeared in an online copy of Lloyd's Register in 1776. There is no readily accessible data on her career before 1776.
Captain James Ball sailed from Liverpool on 24 November 1775. Molly acquired slaves at Iles de Los and arrived at Jamaica in 1776 with 300 slaves. She arrived back at Liverpool on 1 November 1776.
After her voyage carrying slaves, Molly, Ball, master, traded between Liverpool and Jamaica.
The British Admiralty gave notice in April 1777, that they were ready to issue letters of marque for privateers against the Americans. In March 1778, Great Britain broke off relations with France.
Captain John Woods acquired a letter of marque on 23 October 1778.
In March 1779 Lloyd's List reported that Molly, Woods, master, Bess, Parry, master, and the privateer Wasp, had captured and taken into the schooner Oiseau, which had been on her way from Bordeaux to South Carolina with a cargo of tea, linens, hats, stockings, and silks. She arrived in the Mersey on 25 February. The three also captured the brig St Jacques, from France to America with a cargo of wine, flour, etc., but she had not yet reached Leverpool. Molly had been on her way to Jamaica from Leverpool.
Molly captured the three-decker St Augustine, which had been sailing from Port-au-Prince to Nantes, and sent her into Cork. St Augustine was armed with ten 9-pounder guns, and had a crew of 40 men. She was carrying 536 hogsheads and 15 tierces of Muscovado sugar, 8 hogsheads, 6 tierces, and 95 barrels of indigo, and 300 hides.
Fate
On 4 September 1782 two French frigates bound to Marseilles captured Molly, Wood,s master, as Molly was sailing from Leverpool to St Lucia.

The southwestern North American megadrought is a megadrought in the southwestern region of North America (SWNA) that began in 2000 and was ongoing . This megadrought was the driest 22-year period since at least 800 and, if it persists through 2022, will match the duration of the severe late-1500s megadrought. The megadrought has prompted the declaration of a water shortage at Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States. Climate change models project drier conditions in the region through the end of the 21st century, though climate change mitigation may avoid the most extreme impacts.
Background
The southwestern region of North America (SWNA) is defined as the areas between 30 and 40 degrees North and 105 and 125 degrees West, comprising areas within Northern Mexico and the Southwestern United States. This area is roughly bounded by central Chihuahua to the southeast, the northwest coast of Baja California to the southwest, the Northern California coast to the northwest, and northcentral Colorado to the northeast. This area includes much of the Basin and Range Province, which contains the four deserts on the continent: the Chihuahuan Desert, the Sonoran Desert, the Mojave Desert, and the Great Basin Desert, as well as the Colorado Plateau, which is largely high desert.
Megadroughts, a term used to describe periods of multidecadal drought, are a recurring feature of the North American Southwest over the past millennium. For example, droughts lasting at least a decade occurred in Texas in each century of the past millennium. Researchers used tree ring chronologies to reconstruct summer soil moisture and snow water equivalents back to 800 CE. This allowed the identification of 40 SWNA drought events of at least 19-years duration. Of these, four megadroughts were 0.25 standard deviations drier than any experienced in the 20th century: 863–884, 1130–1151, 1276–1297, and 1571–1592. The droughts of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries bracketed the Ancestral Puebloans' Pueblo III Period, with the thirteenth century drought coinciding with the abandonment of Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, and other settlements in the Four Corners region. The sixteenth century megadrought may be associated with the 1576 cocoliztli epidemic in New Spain.
Climate change
The megadrought that began in 2000 was preceded by the wettest period in at least 1200 years, from 1980 to 1998. Climate models begin projecting increased decadal precipitation swings in the SWNA starting in the latter half of the twentieth century as a result of climate change, but with an overall drying trend as a result of warming. Models indicate that the 2000-2018 would have trended towards megadrought conditions regardless of climate change, with a predicted severity of the 11th worst period of drought since 800. However, anthropogenic warming pushed conditions into a severe megadrought. From 2000 to 2021, mean annual precipitation in the region was 8.3% below the 1950-1999 average and the temperature was 0.91 °C above average. The megadrought that began in 2000 was the driest 22-year period since at least 800 and, if it persists through 2022, will match the duration of the severe late-1500s megadrought. Both 2002 and 2021 were drier than any of the previous nearly 300 years and were, respectively, the 11th and 12th driest years between 800 and 2021.
The drought is largely driven by temperature, which increases the rate of evaporation, with some contribution from the lack of precipitation. The several wet years since 2000 were not enough sufficient to end the drought. Researchers calculated that without climate change-induced evaporation, the precipitation in 2005 would have broken the drought. While monsoon rains in the desert Southwest in mid-2021 and heavy rain in snow in California in late 2021 had raised hope of ending the drought, January 2022 was characterized by record dry conditions across much of the West. Researchers noted that even in wet years in the Colorado River watershed, water from melting snows is soaked up by dry soils before it can reach the river.
The 2017 Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4) noted that, under the highest scenario of RCP8.5, the annual average temperature of the Southwestern United States was projected to increase 8.6 °F (4.8 °C) by 2100. The southern Southwest could receive 45 additional days per year above . NCA4 noted that hotter temperatures increased the probability of both droughts and megadroughts in the region.
Effects
From 2012 to 2015, the Central Valley and South Coast of California experienced dryness that was unprecedented in the instrumental record going back to 1896 and, when compared to the paleoclimate record, was the driest since at least the later sixteenth century. Some areas lost more than two years of moisture from their soils during this period. Recovery to pre-2012 soil moisture levels in the most affected areas was predicted to require several decades of average rainfall. Even without increasing temperatures, predicted low precipitation would be sufficient to produce unprecedented dry conditions, but with higher temperatures could create megadroughts as not seen since medieval times.
The reduced water supplies along the Mexican-American border area have caused tensions. The 1944 water treaty that is administered by the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) divides the waters of the Colorado River and Rio Grande basins between the two countries. However, the 1940s were a period of abnormally high precipitation; this built-in administrative deficit for subsequent years, coupled with a twentyfold increase in the population along the border, climate change, and aging water infrastructure means that there is not enough water to meet regional demand. In 2003, Mexican ambassador Alberto Szekely criticized what he saw as a focus on acts of political will to resolve water disputes and a failure to recognize that the fundamental issue was a lack of sufficient water and insufficient mechanisms for sustainable management through the IBWC. On 8 September 2020, thousands of Mexican farmers in Chihuahua, fearing for their own livelihoods, took control of the La Boquilla Dam to stop Mexican Federal authorities from releasing reservoir waters to the Rio Grande. Later that month, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott asked the Federal government to intervene to force the release of Mexican waters from the Rio Conchos that would be used by farmers in South Texas.
In March 2001, the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission took the unprecedented step of asking farmers along the Rio Grande and Rio Chama not to farm; while agriculture uses 76% of water withdrawals in the state, it makes up 3% of the state GDP. In August 2021, the United States Bureau of Reclamation declared a water shortage at Lake Mead for the first time in its history. This followed a forecast that, by the end of 2021, Lake Mead would be reduced to a level not seen since the building of the Hoover Dam in the 1930s. Lake Mead is one of the main reservoirs of the Colorado River and the declaration triggers cuts to the water supply for farmers in Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. Without an alleviation of the drought conditions, The New York Times stated that further cuts affecting the 40 million people who rely upon the Colorado River for water were likely. It was anticipated that the cuts would prompt some farmers to increase pumping of limited groundwater supplies. In August 2021, the Edward Hyatt Power Plant, which provides hydroelectric power to up to 800,000 homes in California, was forced to shut down for the first time after waters at Lake Oroville fell to 24% of capacity, a historic low. In February 2022, the Bureau of Reclamation released projections for Lake Powell, the second largest artificial reservoir in the United States; the lower range of forecasts would result in a water level by the end of 2022 that would prohibit hydroelectric generation at the Glen Canyon Dam, which provides enough power for 400,000 homes.
A 2021 study noted that increased drought conditions were now inevitable for the region, but that the most extreme modeled effects can still be avoided by climate change mitigation. However, climate change adaptation to the drier conditions will be needed. Dave D. White of Arizona State University, the lead author of the Southwest Chapter of the Fifth National Climate Assessment to be published in 2023, called for a "bold solutions that match the scale of the challenges," including agricultural water conservation, coastal water desalination, technology innovations, and sustainable water management. The Santa Fe New Mexican called for New Mexico to learn from the driest counties how to conserve water and start preparing for a drier and hotter future.

Advice to a Son is a 1656 anti-matrimony book by the English essayist Francis Osborne. This was his primary effort, published in two halves in 1656 and 1658 respectively. The first half had five topical sections: "Studies", "Love and Marriage", "Travel", "Government", and "Religion". Despite being published anonymously at first, the book received major traction in the era following the English Restoration.
The warnings against women with which he plied his son give the book a misogynist character, and it was ridiculed by John Heydon in his Advice to a Daughter, in opposition to Advice to a Son, 1658. A defence of Osborne appeared in Advice to Balaam's Ass, by Thomas Pecke, whom Heydon castigated in a second edition of his Advice to a Daughter, 1659. In Osborne's day his Advice to a Son found admirers among the young scholars at Oxford, but the clergy detected atheism in its vague references to religion, and denounced its evil influence. On 27 July 1658 the vice-chancellor, John Conant, accordingly summoned the Oxford booksellers before him, and told them sell no more copies of Osborne's book; but this direction caused the Advice, according to Anthony à Wood, to sell far more copies.\
At a later date Samuel Pepys studied it, and Sir William Petty told him that the three most popular books of his time were Osborne's Advice, Thomas Browne's Religio Medici, and Samuel Butler's Hudibras. Jonathan Swift wrote of Osborne in The Tatler as one who affected the phrases in fashion at court in his day, and soon became either unintelligible or ridiculous. James Boswell found the Advice shrewd, quaint, and lively; but Samuel Johnson told Boswell that Osborne was conceited: "Were a man to write so now, the boys would throw stones at him." The book is considered an example of "Courtesy literature", a descendant of such books as The Book of the Courtier.

Sporopodium awasthianum is a species of foliicolous (leaf-dwelling) lichen in the family Roccellaceae. Found in India, it was formally described as a new species in 2008 by Krishna Pal Singh and Athokpam Pinokiyo.
