Jason Harris-Wright (born 19 September 1988) is a rugby union player from Ireland. He primarily plays as a hooker. Harris-Wright last played professionally for Bristol in the Greene King IPA Championship. |
27331127_0_1 | 27331127 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason%20Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright. Early life
Harris-Wright grew up in Kilcoole in County Wicklow. He was a student at Presentation College in Bray and played at number 8 for the school rugby team as they reached the final of the Leinster Schools Junior Cup, only to be beaten by Blackrock College, one of the traditional powers in the schools game. In his final school year Harris-Wright moved to Blackrock himself, in the hopes of winning a Senior Cup with the school and increasing his chances of being noticed for representative teams and under-age Leinster squads. However, in a major shock, Blackrock were knocked out of the Cup by an unfancied Kilkenny College. Harris-Wright played rugby at amateur level with Greystones until 2009, when he moved to Clontarf. |
27331127_1_0 | 27331127 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason%20Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright. Leinster
Harris-Wright started out his career with his native province of Leinster. He came through the academy, having earned seven caps for the Leinster Schools team, and made five appearances for the province's under-20s. Harris-Wright also played for the province's second-tier side Leinster A, playing four times in the British and Irish Cup and 11 times outside it, primarily against other provincial 'A' teams. |
27331127_1_1 | 27331127 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason%20Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright. Leinster
Harris-Wright was promoted to the first team ahead of the 2009–10 season when he was given his first senior contract. Despite being promoted to the senior squad, he didn't make his debut for the side until 23 April 2010, when he came on as a replacement against Glasgow Warriors in the 2009–10 Celtic League. |
27331127_1_2 | 27331127 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason%20Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright. Leinster
The following season saw Harris-Wright play more regularly, due to the retirement of first choice hooker John Fogarty. New Leinster coach Joe Schmidt regularly used Harris-Wright as a replacement in the league and in Europe. Harris-Wright made his European debut for Leinster in a 2010–11 Heineken Cup pool stage game against Racing Metro on 9 December 2010. He made his first start for the team against Ospreys in the league on 28 November 2010. Harris-Wright made 11 league appearance in total for the season, with all but three of these coming from the bench. Harris-Wright played in four Heineken Cup games, including the final against Northampton Saints which Leinster won, with all of these appearances coming from the bench. |

Harris-Wright stayed with Leinster through summer 2011, playing preseason matches with the team, but the signing of Seán Cronin meant he was no longer as prominent a member of the squad. He left Leinster in November 2011, moving to English side Bristol, having made 16 appearances for Leinster. |
27331127_2_0 | 27331127 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason%20Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright. Bristol
Harris-Wright signed for English side Bristol on 8 November 2011. He made 11 appearances for them throughout the season, as Bristol topped the league table in the 2011–12 RFU Championship. Despite topping their Group in Stage 2 of the competition however, Bristol were beaten by Cornish Pirates 63–53 on aggregate in the play-off semi-finals and missed out on promotion. |
27331127_3_0 | 27331127 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason%20Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright. Connacht
In May 2012, he signed for Connacht, joining them ahead of the 2012–13 season. His first game for the province was against his former side Leinster on 28 September 2012. Harris-Wright came on as a replacement, as Connacht beat the Heineken cup holders 34–6. He made 14 league appearances in his debut season, all but two of these coming as starts, and scored his first try for the side in a Pro12 game against Edinburgh on 1 December 2012. Harris-Wright also made appearances in five of Connacht's six 2012–13 Heineken Cup group stage games, starting four. |
27331127_3_1 | 27331127 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason%20Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright. Connacht
In the following season, Harris-Wright continued to feature regularly, playing 18 times in the 2013–14 Pro12 and in all six of Connacht's group games in the 2013–14 Heineken Cup. He scored a single try during the course of the season, in a Pro12 game against Scarlets on 23 November 2013. Towards the end of the season however, Harris-Wright suffered a dislocated shoulder against Cardiff Blues and was ruled out for six months. |
27331127_3_2 | 27331127 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason%20Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright | Jason Harris-Wright. Connacht

Thomas Andrew Bridgeland (born 1973) is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Sheffield. He is most well-known for defining Bridgeland stability conditions on triangulated categories. |
27331274_0_1 | 27331274 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom%20Bridgeland | Tom Bridgeland | Tom Bridgeland. Education
Bridgeland was educated at Shelley High School in Huddersfield and Christ's College, Cambridge where he studied the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos graduating with first class Bachelor of Arts degree with honours in Mathematics in 1995. He completed his PhD at the University of Edinburgh, where he also stayed for a postdoctoral research position. |
27331274_0_2 | 27331274 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom%20Bridgeland | Tom Bridgeland | Tom Bridgeland. Research and career
Bridgeland's research interest is in algebraic geometry, focusing on properties of derived categories of coherent sheaves on algebraic varieties. His most-cited papers are on stability conditions, on triangulated categories and K3 surfaces; in the first he defines the idea of a stability condition on a triangulated category, and demonstrates that the set of all stability conditions on a fixed category form a manifold, whilst in the second he describes one connected component of the space of stability conditions on the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a complex algebraic K3 surface. |
27331274_0_3 | 27331274 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom%20Bridgeland | Tom Bridgeland | Tom Bridgeland.
Bridgeland's work helped to establish the coherent derived category as a key invariant of algebraic varieties and stimulated world-wide enthusiasm for what had previously been a technical backwater. His results on Fourier–Mukai transforms solve many problems within algebraic geometry, and have been influential in homological and commutative algebra, the theory of moduli spaces, representation theory and combinatorics. Bridgeland's 2002 Annals paper introduced spaces of stability conditions on triangulated categories, replacing the traditional rational slope of moduli problems by a complex phase. This far-reaching innovation gives a rigorous mathematical language for describing D-branes and creates a new area of deep interaction between theoretical physics and algebraic geometry. It has been a central component of subsequent work on homological mirror symmetry. |
27331274_0_4 | 27331274 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom%20Bridgeland | Tom Bridgeland | Tom Bridgeland.
Bridgeland's research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). |
27331274_0_5 | 27331274 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom%20Bridgeland | Tom Bridgeland | Tom Bridgeland. Awards and honours
Bridgeland won the Adams Prize in 2007 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2014. |

Fergus J. O'Rourke (1923–2010) was an Irish scientist whose publications included contributions to myrmecology and medical entomology. Educated at Belvedere College, and subsequently at University College Dublin, he graduated from University College Dublin both as a medical doctor and with a Masters in Science. He subsequently earned a PhD in Zoology.
O'Rourke's 1948's survey of Irish ants built on the earlier work of Stelfox and provided an authoritative description of Irish ants. O'Rourke (1956) provided an early consideration of the importance of ants as disease vectors. He was appointed Professor of Zoology at University College Cork and was elected a Member of the Royal Irish Academy and Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society of London. |

He was elected to represent the Sudbury constituency in July 1841, but was removed in April 1842 due to bribery in the election.
He was named after the British Resident at Delhi, David Ochterlony. |

David Ochterlony Dyce Sombre was great-grandson of Walter Reinhardt Sombre (c. 1725 – 1778), a mercenary soldier who lived for many years in India. Walter Reinhardt Sombre had two wives, both of whom were Indian Muslim women; the senior wife is known only as Badi Bibi ("senior lady"), while the second wife was the famous Begum Samru (c. 1753–1836). The name "Samru" is the local corruption of the name "Sombre," and Begum, a Kashmiri Muslim by birth, converted in 1781 to the Catholic faith. A fabulously wealthy woman, she was left with no surviving children or grandchildren in her old age. Her husband had only one son by Badi Bibi his first wife; that young man, who died in 1799, had left behind a daughter named Juliana, who married a man named George Alexander Dyce and gave birth to several children, including David Ochterlony Dyce. He was selected by Begum Samru, the second wife of his great-grandfather, to succeed to her vast estates. He thereupon added the surname "Sombre" to his existing names and came to be known as David Ochterlony Dyce Sombre. |

The details are as follows. The mercenary soldier Walter Reinhardt Sombre (c. 1725–1778) had one son by his senior wife, Badi Bibi. The boy, born in 1764, was initially named Zafar Yab Khan and raised more or less as a Muslim by his mother in a mixed household. However, he accepted Catholic baptism in 1781 (aged 17), three years after the death of his Catholic father. Incidentally, his widowed step-mother, Begum Samru, also accepted Catholic baptism at the same time. Upon his baptism, the young man's name was changed to "Walter Balthazzar Reinhardt," or (according to a biography of his grandson) "Aloysius Balthazzar Reinhardt." He married Julia Anne (or Juliana) Le Fevre (1770–1815), daughter of a captain in Begum Samru's service. Julia Anna was also known as Juliana, as Madame Reybaud and as Bhai Begum. The couple had two children, a son, Aloysius Reinhardt, who died young and is buried in the Akbar Church in Agra, and a daughter, Julia Anne (or Juliana). Zafar Yab alias Walter/Aloysius Reinhardt died in 1799 of cholera, being survived by his wife Juliana (who died in 1815) and his daughter, also named Juliana. |

The younger Juliana was born in 1787 (or perhaps on 19 November 1789) and died in 1820. In 1803, aged 16 at most, she married a certain George Alexander Dyce (died April 1838, buried at Fort William, Calcutta). This George Alexander Dyce was the illegitimate half-caste (i.e. mixed-race, Anglo-Indian) son of a Major General Dyce. This couple had several children, of whom four are mentioned in subsequent papers and histories; they are:
David Ochterlony (b. 18 December 1808), the subject of this entry,
George Archibald (b. 1 August 1810, died within a year),
Anna Maria (b. 24 December 1813) who married John Rose Troup, a former East India Company general.
Georgiana (b. 2 September 1807; alternatively 1815–1867). She married an Italian mercenary soldier named Paolo Solaroli (1796–1878) who was later to become a wealthy and ranking aristocrat. Born into a humble family from Novara, Piedmont, Paolo Solaroli joined the Sardinian army, was ennobled in the 1840s by Carlo Alberto of Sardinia, became Baron by 1864, was elevated to the title of Marchese di Briona in 1867 by Vittorio Emmanuele II, and later became a diplomat. He had descendants and left them an enormous estate at his death. His castle was acquired in 1864 by the government. In the 1840s, he was styled Baron Paolo Solaroli, but was referred to by his sister-in-law and her lawyers as Peter Solaroli. |

Having become "family" by his marriage to the Begum's step-granddaughter, George Alexander Dyce was rapidly made commander of the Begam's army. He considered that he was entitled to the Begam's wealth through marriage to Reinhard(t)'s heir, and when Julia Anne died in 1820, began to help himself. George Alexander Dyce was an uncaring and unloving father. Therefore, he was removed but he continued to make a real nuisance of himself until his death. Among his other inequities, he instituted a civil suit against his own son and caused his arrest and subsequent release upon heavy bail. |

When Julia Anne died in 1820, Begam Sumroo looked after the children as her own. Young David was taken over and brought up by her as her son and heir. |

Although educated by Protestant missionaries, David Ochterlony Dyce Sombre was brought up a Catholic. He added Sombre to his name on being formally nominated by the Begam as her sole heir and successor. She transferred to him her wealth, and the administration of her principality but her attempts to have him accepted by the British as ruler on her death were to no avail. |

When the Begam died in 1836, the British took possession of Sardhana, all the arms which she had brought from them to equip her army, as well as the lands of Badshapur, which were her private property. They also failed to honour undertakings to continue the many pensions paid from the revenue. David's attempts to have these wrongs rectified were unsuccessful, although compensation for the arms was eventually granted long after his death. He was embroiled in attempts by his father to grab his fortune. His personal life was marked by extravagant spending – gambling, womanising, and even the occasional pimping – to please European friends and better-off Anglo-Indian friends such as Sir Charles Metcalfe Ochterlony. |

After a visit to China, David set out for England and the Grand Tour of Europe. He married on 26 September 1840 the Honourable Mary Anne Jervis, third daughter of the second Viscount St Vincent, his only daughter by his second wife, described as "accomplished singer, dancer, and composer" and also as an associate of the Duke of Wellington; the marriage took place despite quarrels over his fiancée's social life and the religious affiliation of their future (and never born) children. He also got himself elected as MP for Sudbury in July 1841, and was then deposed in April 1842 after objections from the loser. He accused his wife of adultery with various men including her own father, and his life turned for the worse, when his wife had him certified insane and held under restraint, with the support and consent of his sisters Mrs Anna May Troup (1812–1867) and Baroness Georgiana Solaroli (1815–1867) and their husbands. |

In September that year, David escaped his guards and fled to France, where an attempt to have him extradited failed. Doctors all over Europe examined him and found he was perfectly sane, but his attempts to reverse the judgement were brushed aside. He managed to obtain part of his estate with an allowance of 4,000 pounds deducted for his wife. Meanwhile, he travelled from one end of Europe to the other. Finally, with a change of Government, there seemed a chance of success. He returned to England with indemnity from arrest, but a few days before the case was due to be heard he died suddenly in excruciating agony from a septic foot on 1 July 1851. |

He was buried at once in an unmarked grave, which has not been touched since, yet his body was also returned to India to be buried in Sardhana. His will providing for the establishment of a school in Sardhana was contested by his estranged wife, whom he had disinherited, on the grounds that he was still insane. She won the case sometime around 1856, and became the richest woman in England.
Later on, she was also known as Lady Forester, through her marriage to George Weld-Forester, 3rd Baron Forester on 8 November 1862. The former Mrs Dyce Sombre died childless in 1893, and her fortune presumably passed to the Weld-Forester family. |

The Andover Hook and Ladder Company Building is a historic fire station at 39 Elm Street in Andover, Maine. It is a long and narrow two-story wood-frame structure. Its front (southern) elevation has a large opening on the first floor closed by a modern garage door on the ground floor, with a small rectangular window to the right. Above this are two widely spaced sash windows. The side elevations each have five sash windows on the second floor; the east side also a single sash window on the first floor. The rear elevation has two sash windows flanking a hose tower that rises above the main, gabled roof. The building is clad in brick-patterned metal (tin) siding which appears to be original. |

The ground floor of the interior is an open space whose walls are finished in fiberboard which is not original to the building's construction. The upper level is divided into three rooms, with a stairwell at the rear, rising through a portion of the hose tower. A stairway used to be located behind the front room, but only the partition and opening remain. These spaces retain original tongue-and-groove sheathing on the walls and ceiling. |

The Andover Hook and Ladder Company was founded in 1890 to provide fire protection services for the small town. In 1904 an existing building, only a portion of the present one, was moved to this site, and the larger portion (approximately two-thirds) of this building was constructed. It was actively used as a fire station until 1987, and is now used for storage by the local historical society, and occasionally for community-related meetings. It is one of a relatively small number of rural fire stations to survive from the period in the state. |

As governor, acting on instructions from Babangida's second in command, Vice Admiral Augustus Aikhomu, he refused to confer the staff of office to the Chief of the Kilba of the Hong local government area in Gongola.
When a court ruled in favor of two contenders for local government chairmanships on the grounds of electoral irregularities, Isa Mohammed refused to recognise the decision and swear them in as chairmen. He filed an injunction against the Nigerian Bar Association when they boycotted the courts in protest, and later filed a lawsuit against Punch for the way it had reported the incident. |

Leucobryaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the order Dicranales. |
27331485_0_1 | 27331485 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucobryaceae | Leucobryaceae | Leucobryaceae. Description
Members of the family grow small to large cushions. Species are characterized by having thick, whitish leaves with a large, expanded costa. It has been suggested that the characteristic pale color exhibited by some species is caused by air bubbles in the leucocysts, and the presence of air in the leaf is assumed characteristic of the Leucobryaceae. |
27331485_0_2 | 27331485 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucobryaceae | Leucobryaceae | Leucobryaceae. Classification
The Leucobryaceae have been sometimes included in the Dicranaceae because of similar costa and peristome structures. |
27331485_0_3 | 27331485 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucobryaceae | Leucobryaceae | Leucobryaceae.
The number of genera assigned to the family has been subject to much debate and has ranged from one to fourteen. Some genera previous assigned to Leucobryaceae have been split off into the family Calymperaceae, while molecular analyses have led to other changes, with other genera from Dicranaceae included. |

At the Nußhardt is the third highest mountain in the Fichtel Mountains in the south German state of Bavaria. It lies in the far northeast of the state and has a rocky summit characteristic of the Fichtelgebirge (coarse-grained Kern Granite G3 and augen gneiss at the southeast end). The summit area with its felsenmeer and tor is a nature reserve with an area of . In addition the Nußhardt is incorporated into the geotope register of the Bavarian State Geological Department under No. 472R013. |
27331491_1_0 | 27331491 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu%C3%9Fhardt | Nußhardt | Nußhardt. Location
The Nußhardt lies on the FGV's main hill trail between the FGV hostel of Seehaus and the Schneeberg, the highest mountain in the range. The climbing area is looked after by the local FGV branch at Vordorf. |
27331491_1_1 | 27331491 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu%C3%9Fhardt | Nußhardt | Nußhardt. Legends
On the rocky viewing point there are eight, small, bowl-shaped hollows in the granite; so-called druid bowls. In former centuries they were believed to be the sacrifice bowls for heathen cults. Today it is known that they are a special form of weathering in the granite. It is also worth mentioning the so-called Nußhardtstube ('Nußhardt parlour'), a roughly 50 m long covered chamber, whose low entrance is on the southern side of the rocks. |
27331491_1_2 | 27331491 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu%C3%9Fhardt | Nußhardt | Nußhardt. Name
In the records of the Berneck office in 1536 the Nußhardt appears as Nusser, and again in a margraviate forest inspection report of 1536. Its spelling in the records and literature varies: Nusser, Nosser, Nußhardt – there has been no lack of interpretations for these names, but none has been really convincing. |

As early as 1880 the first steps to the highest point of the Nußhardt tor were erected by te Fichtelgebirge Branch of the German-Austrian Alpine Club to give "better views" of the Schneeberg, Ochsenkopf, the Fichtelsee, the Franconian Jura and the Kemnather Land. |
