the town of Almont, North Dakota and the Beicegal Creek, North Dakota. The age of the formation is based on the recovery of late Tiffanian mammals in the upper section of the formation along with the floral and palynological assemblages of the formation. The species was described from a group of seventy five type specimens, the holotype specimen UF8542, which is currently preserved in the paleobotanical collections of the University of Florida and a large series of paratypes, totaling seventy-four specimens. The paratypes are in the collections of the National Museum of Natural History, the University of Florida, and the |

Chief of Staff, during the disastrous campaign against the Austro-Russian forces. Besieged with a handful of men in Castel Sant'Angelo, he surrendered only on the guarantee of military honours and a safeconduct, taking a ship that brought him in France. He then started to reorganise the troops of the collapsed Cisalpine Republic in the new Italian Legion, commanded by general Giuseppe Lechi, in which many officers and petty officers, due to the lack of recruits, served as simple soldiers. He distinguished himself during the Battle of Marengo, and was promoted to the rank of brigadier general. In December 1800 the |
7646502 | "Pietro Teulié"
nicknamed ""Teulié Brigade"" was attached to the division of General Brune, who was ordered to attack in the Tirol to cut the Austrian communication lines. The short campaign was a complete success, and Brune later write on him: ""We due every praise to the unshackable courage and capable direction of General Teulié"". He was nominated Minister of War of the Kingdom of Italy in April 1802, but left the position shortly after, possibly for his contrast with the Frenchmen that opposed his project of an independent Italian Army in an independent Italian state. In 1803 his brigade was part of |
7646503 | "Pietro Teulié"
the 2nd Italian Division of general Domenico Pino on The Channel, and, the following year, received the cross of the Legion d'Honneur by the Emperor himself. After a false accuse, he was subsequently removed and imprisoned, but Napoleon eventually restored him in his position and honours, giving him the rank of Division General and the command of the Pino's Division. He was awarded, in 1806, with the just instituted Order of the Iron Crown. After a brief service in the quarters of Boulogne, he distinguished himself leading his division in the War of the Fourth Coalition. He won the Prussian |
7646504 | "Pietro Teulié"
in Stargard and Neugarten, and was afterward placed as military governor of Prussia. The 24 February 1807 passed the Persante river and moved with a forced march on Kolberg. His commander, Marshal Berthier wrote of him: ""Teulié with his men goes on a double pace; he has completely beaten the defenders of Kolberg and locked them into the fortress."" The 14 March 1807 he started the siege of Kolberg, under general Loison, who let him command all the siege operations. On the 12 June 1807, during a first line combat, a grenade killed two of his men and struck him |
7646505 | "Pietro Teulié"
in his leg. He died six days after for tetanus. His name was inscribed on the 17th column of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, one of the few Italian generals to receive this honour. According to his last will, his body was then buried in the Military Orphanage for Our Fallen's Children, in Milan, now the Italian Military School ""Teulié"", named after him.

Kootenay Group The Kootenay Group, originally called the Kootenay Formation, is a geologic unit of latest Jurassic to earliest Cretaceous age in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin that is present in the mountains and foothills of southeastern British Columbia and southwestern Alberta. It includes economically important deposits of high-rank bituminous and semi-anthracite coal, as well as plant fossils and dinosaur trackways. The strata of the Kootenay Group were originally described as the Kootenay Formation. D. W. Gibson revised the sequence as the Kootenay Group and defined it as encompassing the stratigraphic interval between the Jurassic Fernie Formation and the Lower |
7646511 | "Kootenay Group"
Cretaceous Blairmore Group. He subdivided it into three formations as shown below and designated a type section for each of the formations, thus eliminating the need for a type section for the group. The Kootenay Group is an eastward-thinning wedge of sediments derived from the erosion of newly uplifted mountains to the west. The sediments were transported eastward by river systems and deposited in a variety of river channel, floodplain, swamp, coastal plain, deltaic and shoreline environments along the western edge of the Western Interior Seaway. Fossils are rare in the Morrissey Formation, but the Mist Mountain Formation includes plant |
7646512 | "Kootenay Group"
fossils and dinosaur trackways, and the Elk Formation includes plant fossils, trace fossils and bivalves. The Kootenay Group is present in the front ranges and foothills of the Canadian Rockies in southeastern British Columbia and southwestern Alberta. It extends from the Canada–US border to north of the North Saskatchewan River. It has a maximum thickness of about , and it thins eastward. The Kootenay Group conformably overlies the marine shales of the Fernie Formation. In most areas it is disconformably overlain by the nonmarine strata of the Blairmore Group, although in some western areas the contact may be conformable. North |

of the North Saskatchewan River the Kootenay Group grades into the Nikanassin Formation. To the south it may correlate with the upper part of the Morrison Formation in Montana.

Laura Henkel Laura Henkel (born 6 February 1967) is a sexologist and gallerist. She is best known for her work with museum curation and for her Downtown Las Vegas arts venues. Born in Miami, Florida, Henkel spent her formative years in Irving, Texas. She later attended John F. Kennedy University where she earned her B.A., Liberal Arts. She continued her studies at the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, San Francisco, and was awarded a Doctorate in Human Sexuality and a PhD in Erotology. After demonstrating expertise in the appraisal and sourcing of vintage erotic items, Henkel was |
7646519 | "Laura Henkel"
asked to open and curate the nonprofit Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada. The project initially became her Ph.D dissertation and later involved the professional curation and management of a 17,000 square-foot arts and history exhibition area and an additional 7,000 square-feet of revolving art installations. She was periodically sent by museum management to parts of Europe and Asia to collect, appraise, and transport items for official EHM exhibits. The facility received international recognition, named one of the World's 12 Sexiest Museums in 2010. Under Henkel's direction, the museum was also host to a variety of art-related functions, including |
7646520 | "Duke de Richleau"
In ""Strange Conflict"" (1941), the Duke was instrumental in foiling the activities of a Nazi occultist, based in a location to be discovered, which were threatening the Atlantic convoys. After World War II, the Duke and his friends traveled to South America to foil another satanic cult, this time targeting Rex Van Ryn in the tale ""Gateway to Hell"" (1970). In his final years, in ""Dangerous Inheritance"" (1965), the Duke left England to live on the island of Corfu, then leaving for a final adventure in Sri Lanka. The 11 books featuring the character, with the dates when first published, |
7646521 | "Duke de Richleau"
and the period covered by the plot of each book, are as follows: Jean Armand Duplessis, Comte de Quesnoy, born in 1875, was the son of the ninth Duc de Richleau (1847-1909) and a Russian princess of the Plackoff family line. His father loathed the French Republican regime and lived as a voluntary exile on an estate belonging to his wife in the Carpathian foothills near Jvanets on the Dniester River in what was then the Russian Empire. The nearest town was Kamenets Podolskiy, now located in the Khmelnytskyi Oblast of western Ukraine, but at that time the region was |
7646522 | "Duke de Richleau"
known as Podolia. His mother died in 1888, when Armand was 14 years old. Armand was fluent in Russian, German, Polish, English, Italian and Spanish, and his mother tongue was French. Although Catholic by upbringing, he ceased to be observant in his 20s. Armand inherited the title of Duke de Richleau on the death of his father in 1909, who was killed in a bomb attack by a Russian nihilist. At the same time, he also gained the Austrian title of Count Königstein, and inherited an estate on the Danube some 25 miles west of Vienna. Until he reached middle |
7646523 | "Duke de Richleau"
age, Armand undertook soldiering as a living but diversified into commodity trading and high finance on his own account and in partnership with his friend the Jewish banker Simon Aron. His hobbies were big game hunting, fishing and cookery, and he enjoyed fine French wines and premium Hoyo de Monterrey Cuban cigars. Armand enlisted at the French military academy of St. Cyr in 1894. After graduation in 1897, he was posted for garrison duty to Madagascar where he studied the magic arts under “the most celebrated White Magician in the island”. As a result of his studies into the occult, |
7646524 | "Duke de Richleau"
Armand became a believer in reincarnation and astrology and formed the view that the world was a battleground between the adepts of the Order of the Left-Hand Path and the Guardians of the Way of Light. After two and half years, he was sent to a cavalry regiment in Algeria. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel and decorated with the Légion d’honneur, France’s highest military award, in 1903 on returning to France. An ardent monarchist and imperialist with strong conservative convictions, de Richleau was nonetheless no bigot and abhorred racism. Although a soldier, he respected the tradition of chivalry and |
7646525 | "Duke de Richleau"
regarded war as an evil inflicted by ambitious and unscrupulous politicians. He was particularly critical of liberals, who, in his opinion, provided cover for anarchism, communism and radicalism to flourish. He opposed Freemasonry for similar reasons, as a “secret society of freethinkers and fanatics”, believing the brotherhood to have been established by the mystic Illuminati and behind the violent revolutions of the 19th century. In 1903, he took part in a conspiracy to restore the French monarchy and place François, Duc de Vendôme on the throne. The plot was uncovered, and de Richleau was accused of involvement in murder, but |
7646526 | "Duke de Richleau"
the charges eventually were dropped. He exchanged places with Vendôme to allow the prince to escape to Spain, thereby becoming The Prisoner in the Mask. He was transported to French Guiana and was to be imprisoned on Devil’s Island, but managed to escape with the help of Channock Van Ryn, heir to the family-owned Chesapeake Banking and Trust Corporation of New York. The American helped him to see the positive side of liberalism. With a warrant out for his arrest, he returned to France in secret to infiltrate the Freemason’s Lodge of the Grand Orient in July 1904, pretending to |

This was the Big Ten's third season with 14 teams. The season marked a return to a nine-game conference schedule, something the league has not had since 1984. Penn State and Ohio State each finished with identical 8–1 conference records, but Penn State won the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Buckeyes. Accordingly, Penn State won the East Division for the first time |

his acquaintance with Colonel Dragutin Dimitriyevitch, the head of Serbian military intelligence and also the Grand Master of the Black Hand. Using his Russian ancestry to full advantage, de Richleau was able to gain Dimitriyevitch’s trust and was initiated into the Black Hand, thereby learning of the plot to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo. De Richleau was successful in preventing one assassination attempt but was wounded in doing so, and a second assassin then managed to kill the archduke and his wife. The resulting furor led the Austrian Empire to declare war on Serbia, and thus The |

Second Seal of the Book of Revelation was broken to let the demon of warfare loose upon the world. Meanwhile, during May 1914 while in Vienna, he had fallen in love with Archduchess Ilona Theresa of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine (1889-1919), the granddaughter of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria and daughter of Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria. She returned his affection but felt that her duty meant she could not marry a man of lesser rank and so their relationship remained initially a secret one. In honour of his gallantry in attempting to thwart the assignation in Sarajevo, the |
7646535 | "Duke de Richleau"
Archduchess made him a knight of the Order of Leopold and an honorary colonel in her regiment of hussars. The couple married without the Emperor’s permission at a private ceremony on Thursday 17 September 1914 in Hohenembs, Vorarlberg, Austria, before departing for Switzerland. Tragically, the Archduchess suffered from tuberculosis and it appears that she may have died during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1920. When war broke out in August 1914, de Richleau was accused of espionage by the Austrian military intelligence office, the ""Kundschafts Stelle"", but lacking sufficient evidence to mount a prosecution, the duke was permitted to re-join his |
7646536 | "Duke de Richleau"
regiment and sent on a mission to liaise with the German military high command for the eastern front in East Prussia. As a Frenchman with British citizenship, he again came under suspicion and was only able to escape execution under martial law by murdering a German officer, Major Tauber, and an Austrian Baron, Colonel Lanzelin Ungash-Wallersee on their way to Berlin. He managed to reach the German HQ for the western front at Aachen on 24 August 1914, where he gained valuable information on Germany’s tactics. He crossed the border into neutral Holland two days later. The intelligence that the |
7646537 | "Duke de Richleau"
duke provided to the French and British generals contributed to the German defeat in the Battle of the Marne in September 1914. After the First World War, de Richleau fought with General Denikin’s White Army in 1919-1920 against the Bolsheviks and Anarchists in southern Russia and Ukraine. His family estate in Jvanets was confiscated when the Bolsheviks gained control of Podolia in 1920. The ‘modern musketeers’ were formed from a group of Three Inquisitive People who met in November 1931. De Richleau’s three new friends were Simon Aron (born 1905), a Left-leaning Anglo-Jewish banker and partner in Schröchild Brothers; aviator |
7646538 | "Duke de Richleau"
Rex Mackintosh Van Ryn (born around 1903), the athletic son of de Richleau’s old American friend Channock Van Ryn; and Richard Eaton (born 1908), a Conservative Englishman and publisher (of the Galleon Press). He re-entered Russia in February 1932 to penetrate The Forbidden Territory of Soviet prison camps, the GULag, with the aid of Simon Aron to free Rex Van Ryn from a prison in Tobolsk in Siberia. The duke killed a man following them and, having freed Rex, was arrested in nearby Romanovsk. Managing to escape from the OGPU secret police in a gunfight the friends met an aristocratic |
7646539 | "Duke de Richleau"
French-born school teacher Marie-Lou (born 1911), since childhood a member of the household of Prince Shulimoff. Together they managed to fly to Kiev, where Richard Eaton was waiting with a private airplane to take them out of the USSR. Richard and Marie-Lou were married in Vienna and settled in England at the Eaton family residence of Cardinal’s Folly, a mansion near Kidderminster, where their daughter Fleur was born on 5 September 1933. The duke was instrumental in the unexplained death of the French former priest and black magician Damien Mocata, whose Satanic cult planned to initiate Simon Aron on 30 |
7646540 | "Duke de Richleau"
April 1935, Walpurgisnacht, the night that The Devil Rides Out. (Mocata was apparently a member of the Satanic Brotherhood of the Ram to which another member of Mocata’s circle, Krishna Ratnadatta, was affiliated, according to later testimony given by Mary Morden to Lieutenant-Colonel William “CB” Verney, of the British Security Service in April 1960. Verney investigated another of Mocata’s associates, the Canon, Augustus Copely-Syle, a Satanist focussed on replicating human life in the form of homunculi. In 1930, Copely-Syle persuaded Henry Beddows to make an offering To the Devil, a Daughter, in return for success in business. He planned to |
7646541 | "Duke de Richleau"
ritually sacrifice the girl, Ellen Beddows, upon her 21st birthday on 6 March 1951.Verney foiled the plot with the help of his future wife Molly Fountain and her son John.) The duke and friends also rescued another neophyte from Mocata’s control, the Hungarian Tanith (born 1912), with whom Rex fell in love and married. Tragically, Tanith died a few months later during childbirth, leaving Rex to bring up his son Robin, later also known as Trusscott, alone. During the political tension leading up to the Spanish Civil War, de Richleau was approached by his natural daughter Lucretia-José to recover a |
7646542 | "Duke de Richleau"
fortune in gold from the Madrid vault of her adopted father’s bank, the Banco Coralles, to prevent the ten tons of bullion from falling into the hands of the Loyalists, who would have sent it off to Soviet Russia to buy arms. With her blond hair Lucretia-José was known as The Golden Spaniard, ""la Española Dorada"". She had inherited the duke’s talent for espionage and had infiltrated the Federación Anarquista Ibérica, “the inner organization of the Spanish Anarchists”. The duke, who had disguised himself as a French socialist ‘Hypolite Dubois’, and Richard Eaton removed over 800 gold bars surreptitiously from |
7646543 | "Duke de Richleau"
the bank and had these melted down and reformed as pots and pans. However, in early August 1936 they were arrested in Madrid for having entered the country with false passports and for carrying unlicensed firearms. They managed to escape a firing squad with the help of Rex and Simon, who were also in Spain to help the Loyalist Republican government against the rebel Nationalist coalition, led by Francisco Franco. Rex and Richard were able to fly the bullion to Malaga where Marie-Lou was waiting in a yacht in December 1936. As they attempted to recover the bullion, however, Lucretia-José, |
7646544 | "Duke de Richleau"
Richard, Rex and the duke, who had re-joined them, were arrested and only the timely intervention of Simon saved them from certain execution. The four friends then quit Spain in disgust with all factions, expressing a hope that fascist and communist would shoot each other and leave the world in peace. As war threatened to engulf Europe once more, the duke (by now an implacable enemy of the Nazis) reformed the group to undertake a mission Codeword – Golden Fleece in Poland and Romania. They succeeded in disrupting secret negotiations over Poland’s surrender to the Germans in September 1939, which |
7646545 | "Duke de Richleau"
were taking place on Baron Lubieszów’s estate (near Pinsk, and now to be found in Lyubeshiv Raion, Ukraine), between ‘General Mack’, the false name adopted by one of Poland’s “most famous statesmen”, and General Count von Geisenheim and a senior Nazi, Major Bauer. Trapped between the advancing German and Soviet armies, De Richleau and his friends escaped to Romania, where they sought to cut supplies of oil transported by barge up the Danube to Germany. A botched kidnap attempt on von Geisenheim and the German commercial attaché in Bucharest on 23 September 1939 left the two Germans injured and their |
7646546 | "Duke de Richleau"
driver dead. A subsequent gun battle with members of the pro-Nazi Romanian Iron Guard resulted in the death of a policeman and an Iron Guard militiaman. The duke was shot several times and only narrowly survived. The friends reached Istanbul safely and provided the British government with an option to buy the oil barges and prevent supplies from reaching the Germans. De Richleau made two further secret missions into German occupied Europe in 1940, one to Czechoslovakia and the other to the Low Countries. German submarines were sinking the UK’s shipping convoys across the Atlantic with uncanny accuracy and the |
7646547 | "Duke de Richleau"
duke suspected that they were using black magic to locate the supply ships. With his friends, the duke embarked upon a Strange Conflict with a Voodoo sorcerer, or Bokor, Doctor Saturday, which took them to the Caribbean island of Haiti in 1941. Doctor Saturday committed suicide, apparently driven insane by an apparition of the ancient Greek god Pan. The duke’s principal contact in the British security establishment was the Baronet Sir Pellinore Gwaine-Cust, whom he had met in 1914 along with Winston Churchill. Through his involvement with de Richleau, Sir Pellinore came to accept the existence of occult powers and |

Esther Nelson Esther Nelson (1810–1843) was a Manx poet best remembered for her book, ""Island Minstrelsy"". She was born in 1810 and baptised in Jurby on June 6. She was the daughter of John Nelson, a vicar in three Manx parish churches: Jurby (1803–1818), Santon (1818–1830) and Bride (1830–1847). In 1838 she lived in Douglas but had returned to the family home at the rectory at Bride by the following year, when she wrote the dedication of her book of poems, ""Island Minstrelsy"" at the age of 29: 'To her island home, the authoress affectionately dedicates the first and simple |
7646586 | "Esther Nelson"
effusions of an island heart.' In 1841 Nelson took a trip to Paris, apparently for health reasons, but she returned to the Isle of Man where she died of tuberculosis on Tuesday 21 March 1843, at the age of 33, in her family home at the rectory at Bride. Nelson was a well-respected poet during her lifetime, often writing under the pen names ""The Island Minstrel"" or ""Hadassah"", the latter of which was given to her by G. H. Wood, a gentleman poet notable for having helped guard Napoleon on Saint Helena. Nelson’s work continued to be highly regarded after |
7646587 | "Esther Nelson"
her death, most notably by the Manx national poet, T. E. Brown, who wrote that: We should not forget that true woman of genius. Hester Nelson. Often I think of her, and her early doom; and Bride seems to me a shrine of splendid promise and aspirations unfulfilled save in God... My father thought very highly of her poems. Some he thought worthy of Milton. And that was all breathed in and bred from your Bride hills, and the long stretches of the Ayre. The poems of ""Island Minstrelsey"" have been described as ranging ""from long narrative poems of revenge, |

murder and heart-break, to short contemplations of mortality, the passage of time and the fragility of happiness. They poems circle around the central idea of the inevitability of the loss of happiness and innocence in the onslaught of 'that grim spoiler, Time'."" This side to her work shows in the book's recurring concern with death, as is demonstrated with titles such as 'The Suicide', 'My Brother's Grave', 'The Dying Girl' and 'To the Dead'. Her most well-renowned poem is 'The Carrasdhoo Men', which told the story of a legendary group of Manx bandits. Her poetry also displays a great Manx |
