Kent Stermon

Jacksonville politics
In the weeks before his death, Stermon's access to JSO facilities became a public controversy. It was learned that Stermon had used his badges more than 700 times—far more frequently than any others with JSO headquarter access—including multiple accesses after normal business hours. Current Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters no longer allows “special access to individuals outside of the need for official business.” Stermon was also an ally of Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry. In a since-deleted tweet in December 2022, Mayor Curry defended Stermon against local lawyer John Phillips, who tweeted about potential changes to Stermon's badge access to JSO headquarters. Curry called Phillips a ‘media [expletive] with no compass’ and told him to ‘pound sand, chump,’ saying that he felt ‘compelled to reply’ since Phillips mentioned ‘[his] friend, Kent.’ Phillips also owns the Jacksonville-based publication Folio Weekly, which published a piece critical of Stermon and sheriff Mike Williams in June 2022.

Relationship with Ron DeSantis
Of the $140,000 Stermon has spent in political contributions in the state of Florida, more than $60,000 has gone to Ron DeSantis's political operations. He is considered the most high-profile of DeSantis's longtime donors. Stermon "told the Times/Herald that he and DeSantis became friends through mutual social circles in Jacksonville nearly 10 years ago, before DeSantis ran for Congress, and he's since helped DeSantis' campaigns as a 'labor of love'".

The Grunwald Square (Polish: Plac Grunwaldzki) is an urban square in Warsaw, Poland. It is located in the district of Żoliborz, at the crossing of Broniewskiego Street, Jana Pawła II Avenue, Popiełuszki Street, Wojska Polskiego Avenue, and Matysiakówny Street.
Grunwald Square, Warsaw
75,667,402
Name
The square was named in 1926 after the village of Grunwald, Warmian–Masurian in Warmian–Masurian Voivodeship, Poland, which on 15 July 1410, was the site of the Battle of Grunwald, that ended in a decisive Polish–Lithuanian victory.
Grunwald Square, Warsaw
75,667,402
History
The Grunwald Square was designed between 1920 and 1922, as part of planning road system near the Warsaw Citadel. Its authors were Antoni Jawornicki and Józef Jankowski. It was originally envisioned as a half-circle with five-way crossing of newly planned streets, then named Marynarki, Lotnictwa, Kawalerii, and Artylerii. The square and nearby roads begun being constructed in the 1930s, however the works on the project were halted before its full complition.

Calicium corynellum
75,667,403
Calicium corynellum is a species of pin lichen in the family Caliciaceae. It is found scattered across parts of Europe, North America, and Asia, where it grows on rock surfaces in shaded and humid locations.
Calicium corynellum
75,667,403
Taxonomy
The species was first formally described by Swedish lichenologist Erik Acharius as Lichen corynellus. He transferred it to the genus Calicium in 1803. Edvard August Vainio proposed a new genus for it, Caliciella, in 1927. Leif Tibell documented Acharius' type specimens and designated a lectotype from this material in 1987. Historically, there were uncertainties as to whether the species was a lichen, or a lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus.
Calicium corynellum
75,667,403
Taxonomy
The classification of Calicium corynellum as a distinct species was confirmed in 2020. Researchers conducted a study to investigate its taxonomic status, given previous uncertainties surrounding its identity. A molecular phylogenetics analysis based on nuclear rDNA sequences from a broader sample size underscored the genetic difference between C. corynellum and C. viride. The study thus consolidated C. corynellum as a distinct species in the Caliciaceae, in spite of its resemblance to C. viride.
Calicium corynellum
75,667,403
Description
Calicium corynellum has specific morphological characteristics that set it apart from Calicium viride. The ascomata (fruiting bodies) of C. corynellum, are greyish white and has shorter stalks. It has narrow spores, a feature distinct from C. viride, which are broader. The thallus (the vegetative tissue of lichens) of C. corynellum is of a leprose type, contrasting the granular to verrucose thallus of C. viride.
Calicium corynellum
75,667,403
Description
In terms of chemical components, C. corynellum contains rhizocarpic and usnic acids. Although C. viride also contains rhizocarpic acid, it features epanorin instead of usnic acid. However, the concentration of these acids varies significantly in both species, making this factor less reliable for distinguishing between them.
Calicium corynellum
75,667,403
Habitat, distribution, and ecology
Found scattered across parts of Europe, North America, and Asia, Calicium corynellum prefers specific environmental conditions. Unlike most calicioid lichens, C. corynellum favours rock surfaces, primarily siliceous rocks, found in shaded and humid locations. This preference for rocky habitats differentiates it from many others in the same genus that grow on trees or soil.
Calicium corynellum
75,667,403
Habitat, distribution, and ecology
Much like other lichen species, Calicium corynellum is integral to the ecosystems it inhabits. As a primary coloniser, it plays a role in soil formation by breaking down rock surfaces and incorporating organic matter into the mineral substrate. Its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen also enriches the nutrient content of the surrounding environment.
Calicium corynellum
75,667,403
Habitat, distribution, and ecology
Lichens such as C. corynellum can indicate environmental health and air quality, as they are highly sensitive to air pollutants. By monitoring its presence or absence of these sensitive species, scientists can gauge the level of pollutants and inform environmental policies.
Bankrupting the Enemy
75,667,423
Bankrupting the Enemy: The U.S. Financial Siege of Japan Before Pearl Harbor is a 2007 economic history book by Edward S. Miller.
Bankrupting the Enemy
75,667,423
Content
In Bankrupting the Enemy, Miller argues that economic sanctions held against Japan in response to the invasion of Manchuria and Second Sino-Japanese War, and the freezing of assets critical to the Japanese economy, forced them to declare war on the United States. It is the first book to be released that specifically focuses on the financial embargo of Japan, which Miller argues was the most critical aspect that pushed Japan towards attacking Pearl Harbor. The book argues that while President Franklin D. Roosevelt enacted policy to "bring Japan to its senses, not its knees", this goal was intercepted by bureaucrats who prevented Japan from buying any resources necessary for its economic survival.
Bankrupting the Enemy
75,667,423
Reception
Strategic Studies Quarterly stated that "books about finance, international trade, and economic analysis usually do not end up in the collections of many military professionals; Bankrupting the Enemy should", and gave praise to its research and "easy-to-read style".
Bankrupting the Enemy
75,667,423
Reception
Enterprise & Society was more positive, calling it a "fascinating and exceptionally presented book", and said that "the content is detailed and factual, but Miller's cleanly written narrative retains its interest and pace throughout."
Bankrupting the Enemy
75,667,423
Reception
Financial History Review gave praise to Bankrupting the Enemy, saying "this is a great book, and it will be of interest to researchers and laymen, and everybody interested in the origins of the Pacific War, Japanese economic history and US policy history", however they noted that some aspects of the book, such as its elaborate descriptions of production processes, would not be of interest to all readers. They also lamented a lack of Japanese primary sources, as did The Journal of Economic History, who further criticised its dry tone, saying that it "reads as if a wartime bean counter were painstakingly describing the input-output matrix for the entire Japanese wartime economy", and went on to suggest that a cliometric analysis of the impacts of the economic sanctions would have improved the book.
Halgaitosaurus
75,667,441
Halgaitosaurus is an extinct genus of araeoscelidian reptile from the late Pennsylvanian of Utah. It contains a single species, Halgaitosaurus gregarius, which is known from the "Virgilian" (Gzhelian)-age Halgaito Formation in Bears Ears National Monument. The fossils of Halgaitosaurus include a number of partial skeletons and isolated bones discovered in blocks of siltstone collected from the Birthday Quarry, a multi-taxon bonebed in Valley of the Gods. Halgaitosaurus makes up about 55% of the fossil material in the 20 blocks recovered from the site. Its fossils show a wide range of body sizes, and their preservation in close company may indicate that it was a gregarious animal, hence the species name.
Halgaitosaurus
75,667,441
Halgaitosaurus shows many features in common with araeoscelidians. The cervical (neck) vertebrae are elongated, and all vertebrae in front of the hip have a midline keel on the underside. Moreover, the front edge of the scapula slants backwards, the limbs are long and roughly equal in length, and the femur is much thicker than the humerus. The coracoid has a prominent thumb-like attachment point for the triceps muscle, a trait shared by Araeoscelis. There were eight cervical vertebrae, less than Araeoscelis (9) but more than Petrolacosaurus (6). The maxilla has about 25 teeth, more than Araeoscelis (19) but less than Petrolacosaurus (35). The fourth and fifth teeth in the maxilla are caniform (enlarged and fang-like), while teeth 10-18 are also slightly larger than adjacent parts of the tooth row.
Halgaitosaurus
75,667,441
The frontals are similar to Araeoscelis, meeting together as a V-shaped projection wedging between the nasals. Unlike Araeoscelis, Halgaitosaurus may have had two temporal fenestrae. Excavations on the edges of the postorbital and parietal strongly suggest the presence of an upper temporal fenestra, visble from above. Likewise, the postorbital is proportionally similar to Petrolaceosaurus and the jugal has a right-angled rear edge, both of which may indicate that it had a lower temporal fenestra on the side of the skull. The jugal barely meets the lower edge of the skull, in contrast to other araeoscelidians.

History
Although the section of the Linha do Oeste that the station lies on entered service on 21 May 1887, the station only opened on 29 November 2004, over a century later. Plans to create a proper station in the area formed in the 1990s. The station was built to replace the Meleças halt that had previously served the area.
