After serving in a number of local elected positions in Grafton, Dent was elected to the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals in 1892 and served as its president in 1899, 1900, and 1902. His term lasted from 1893 to 1904, when he was not re-elected. In 1898, he wrote the opinion in Carrie Williams v. Board of Education which ruled that black students were entitled to the same length of school term as white students and that teacher Williams was entitled to the same pay. |

Dent died of Bright's disease in Grafton in 1909, survived by his widow. Marmaduke Dent was buried at Bluemont Cemetery in Grafton. Although their daughter Virginia Dent had died in 1904, their son Herbert Warder Dent (1880-) followed his father's career path into the law and became a circuit judge. Their granddaughter Virginia Dent Reay Kurtz (1904-1987) would also serve in the West Virginia House of Delegates, representing Lewis County. |

This painting, also commonly known as The Berlin Tondo, is a desco da parto, or birth tray, painted by the Italian Renaissance artist Masaccio, c. 1427–1428, though the work is regarded as from his workshop or by a follower by many recent scholars. It is considered by some art historians to be the Renaissance's first tondo - or circular work of art. The work is 56cm in diameter and features a nativity scene on the front and a young child playing with small dog on the back. |

The Upper and Lower Fezouata Formations of Morocco are Burgess shale-type deposits dating to the Early Ordovician, filling an important preservational window between the common Cambrian Lagerstätten and the Late Ordovician Soom Shale. Found fossilized fauna were numerous organisms previously thought to have died out after the mid-Cambrian. |
27333063_1_0 | 27333063 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fezouata%20Formation | Fezouata Formation | Fezouata Formation. Biota
Over 1,500 non-mineralized specimens, representing 50 distinct taxa that have a composition similar to earlier Burgess Shale type biotas, have been recovered from the formations in addition to a less abundant shelly fauna. The make-up of the community varies significantly through the stratigraphic sequence, with both abundances and faunal composition changing as time progresses. Small (1–3 mm wide) burrows are present in the sediment, but major burrowing is absent; this may suggest a paucity of oxygen in the water or sediment. Particularly notable is the presence of bryozoa and graptolites, forms that are absent in the Cambrian period. Diverse echinoderms indicate a normal range of salinity, and the overall shelly assemblage is not significantly different from the normal shelly fauna expected in open Ordovician waters. The non-mineralized cohort contains a range of forms familiar from the Burgess Shale: Demosponges, lobopods, barnacles, annelids, anomalocaridids (e.g. Aegirocassis), possible halkieriids, marrellomorphs, paleoscolecid worms, naraoiids, skaniids as well as the expected problematica. Other Ordovician oddballs are also present, including mitrates, machaeridia, cheloniellids and horseshoe crabs in abundance. |
27333063_2_0 | 27333063 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fezouata%20Formation | Fezouata Formation | Fezouata Formation. Depositional setting
The fossiliferous strata were deposited just above storm wave base (offshore to lower shoreface transition), at between water depth. Organisms were likely buried in situ. Because of its placement above storm wave base, storms would have mobilized sediment that could be quickly deposited, trapping animals and leading to their preservation. Consequently, the assemblage is dominated by benthic organisms. |
27333063_2_1 | 27333063 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fezouata%20Formation | Fezouata Formation | Fezouata Formation. Preservation
Fossils of the Fezouata Formation, which are usually squashed flat (although some do retain some degree of their original three-dimensionality) are often coated with a dusting of pyrite, and tin; this aspect of the fossil preservation is very similar to that at Chengjiang. Non-mineralized appendages are often preserved. While the formation as a whole is over thick, only two intervals, and thick, provide exceptional preservation. Both of these intervals are located near the top of the lower formation, corresponding to the Araneograptus murrayi and Hunnegraptus copiosus graptolite zones respectively. |
27333063_2_2 | 27333063 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fezouata%20Formation | Fezouata Formation | Fezouata Formation. Location and stratigraphy
The fossils occur within an area of , in southeast Morocco's Draa Valley, north of Zagora. Stratigraphically productive layers are found through a -thick column of rock that spans the Tremadocian and Floian epochs. Two stratigraphic intervals of the formation are fossiliferous: the lower is Late Tremadocian and sits above the base of the formation; the upper, at , is mid-Floian in age. |
27333063_2_3 | 27333063 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fezouata%20Formation | Fezouata Formation | Fezouata Formation. History
The Lagerstätten were first identified in the late 1990s when a local fossil collector, Ben Moula, showed some of the finds to a PhD student who was then working in the area. |

The divinylcyclopropane-cycloheptadiene rearrangement is an organic chemical transformation that involves the isomerization of a 1,2-divinylcyclopropane into a cycloheptadiene or -triene. It is conceptually related to the Cope rearrangement, but has the advantage of a strong thermodynamic driving force due to the release of ring strain. This thermodynamic power is recently being considered as an alternative energy source. |

In 1960, Vogel discovered that 1,2-divinylcyclopropane rearranges to cycloheptan-1,4-diene., After his discovery, a series of intense mechanistic investigations of the reaction followed in the 1960s, as researchers realized it bore resemblance (both structural and mechanistic) to the related rearrangement of vinylcyclopropane to cyclopentene. By the 1970s, the rearrangement had achieved synthetic utility and to this day it continues to be a useful method for the formation of seven-membered rings. Variations incorporating heteroatoms have been reported (see below).

Advantages: Being a rearrangement, the process exhibits ideal atom economy. It often proceeds spontaneously without the need for a catalyst. Competitive pathways are minimal for the all-carbon rearrangement. |

Disadvantages: The configuration of the starting materials needs be controlled in many cases—trans-divinylcyclopropanes often require heating to facilitate isomerization before rearrangement will occur. Rearrangements involving heteroatoms can exhibit reduced yields due to the formation of side products. |

The primary debate concerning the mechanism of the rearrangement centers on whether it is a concerted (sigmatropic) or stepwise (diradical) process. Mechanistic experiments have shown that trans-divinylcyclopropanes epimerize to the corresponding cis isomers and undergo the rearrangement via what is most likely a concerted pathway. A boat-like transition state has been proposed and helps explain the observed stereospecificity of the process. Whether the initial epimerization of trans substrates occurs via a one- or two-center process is unclear in most cases.

Transition-metal-catalyzed versions of the rearrangement are known, and mechanisms vary. In one example employing rhodium bis(ethylene) hexafluoroacetylacetonate, coordination and formation of a bis-π-allyl complex precede electrocyclic ring closure and catalyst release.

Reactions of divinylcyclopropanes containing substituted double bonds are stereospecific with respect to the configurations at the double bonds—cis,cis isomers give cis products, while cis,trans isomers give trans products. Thus, chiral, non-racemic starting materials give rise to chiral products without loss of enantiomeric purity. In the example below, only the isomers depicted were observed in each case.

A wide variety of divinylcyclopropanes undergo the titular reaction. These precursors have been generated by a variety of methods, including the addition of cyclopropyl nucleophiles (salts of lithium, or copper) to activated double or triple bonds, elimination of bis(2-haloethyl)cyclopropanes and cyclopropanation. |

In the example below, cuprate addition-elimination generates the transient enone 1, which rearranges to spirocycle 2.
(5)
Organolithiums can be employed in a similar role, but add in a direct fashion to carbonyls. Products with fused topology result.
(6)
Rearrangement after elimination of ditosylates has been observed; the chlorinated cycloheptadiene thus produced isomerizes to conjugated heptadiene 3 during the reaction.
(7)
Cyclopropanation with conjugated diazo compounds produces divinylcyclopropanes that then undergo rearrangement. When cyclic starting materials are used, bridged products result.
(8)
Substrates containing three-membered heterocyclic rings can also undergo the reaction. cis-Divinylepoxides give oxepines at elevated temperatures (100 °C). trans Isomers undergo an interesting competitive rearrangement to dihydrofurans through the intermediacy of a carbonyl ylide and the same ylide intermediate has been proposed as the direct precursor to the oxepine product 4. Conjugated dienyl epoxides form similar products, lending support to the existence of an ylide intermediate.

Divinyl aziridines undergo a similar suite of reactions providing azepines or vinyl pyrrolines depending on the relative configuration of the aziridine starting material. Divinyl thiiranes can provide thiepines or dihydrothiophenes, although these reactions are slower than those of the corresponding nitrogen- and oxygen-containing compounds. |

The earliest observation of a cycloheptadiene via the title rearrangement was made by Baeyer in his synthesis of eucarvone from carvone hydrobromide. Mechanistic studies revealed that the rearrangement did indeed proceed via a concerted, Cope-type mechanism.
(10)
In the Eschenmoser synthesis of colchicine, the rearrangement is used to form the seven-membered ring of the target.

A racemic synthesis of sirenin employs a Wittig reaction to form the key divinylcyclopropane. Hydrogenation of the rearrangement product afforded the target.

Typically, the rearrangement is carried out just after the formation of the divinylcyclopropane, in the same pot. Heating is sometimes necessary, particularly for trans substrates, which must undergo epimerization prior to rearrangement. With enough energy to surmount activation barriers, however, the isomerization is usually very efficient. |

(13)
To a cold (–78°) stirred solution of lithium diisopropylamide (1.4–1.5 mmol/mmol of ketone) in dry THF (4 mL/mmol of base) under an atmosphere of argon was added slowly a solution of n-butyl-trans-2-vinylcyclopropyl ketone (1.19 mmol) in dry THF (1 mL/mmol of ketone), and the resulting solution was stirred at –78° for 45 minutes. A solution of freshly sublimed tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (1.6 mmol/mmol of ketone) in dry THF (1 mL/mmol of chloride) was added, followed by dry HMPA (0.5 mL/mmol of ketone). The solution was stirred at –78° for 15 minutes and at room temperature for 2–3 hours, and then it was partitioned between saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and pentane (10 mL and 20 mL/mmol of ketone, respectively). The aqueous phase was washed twice with pentane. The combined extract was washed four times with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and twice with brine, and then dried (MgSO4). Removal of the solvent, followed by bulb-to-bulb distillation of the remaining oil, gave the corresponding silyl enol ether as a colorless oil that exhibited no IR carbonyl stretching absorption. Thermolysis of the silyl enol ether was accomplished by heating (neat, argon atmosphere) at 230° (air-bath temperature) for 30–60 minutes. Direct distillation (140–150°/12 torr) of the resultant materials provided the cycloheptadiene in 85% yield: IR (film) 1660, 1260, 840 cm–1; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 0.09 (s, 6H), 0.88 (s, 9H), 0.7–2.75 (m, 14H), 4.8 (t, 1H, J = 5.5 Hz), 5.5–5.9 (m, 2H). |

Oheka II was a private motor yacht built for German-born American investment banker Otto Hermann Kahn by Lürssen in 1927. Capable of 34 knots top speed, she became the blueprint for the Kriegsmarine's Schnellboot. |

"Oheka" is an acronym of letters from Kahn's full name, Otto Herman Kahn. He had previously named his New York estate, built on Long Island between 1914 and 1919, Oheka. |

Born in 1867 in Mannheim and relocated to the United States in 1893, Otto Hermann Kahn was an American-based investment banker, collector, philanthropist, and patron of the arts. |
27333079_0_3 | 27333079 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oheka%20II | Oheka II | Oheka II.
Kahn approached German boatbuilder Lürssen in 1926 to build a high-speed motor launch capable of use on holidays upon both the River Rhine and the North Sea. |
27333079_0_4 | 27333079 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oheka%20II | Oheka II | Oheka II.
German boat builders at the time were used to building sleek displacement hull cruising boats for the Rhine, which to create a smooth ride were round bottomed. However, the problem this creates is a greater depth in the water, and a resultant increase in hydro-dynamic drag, reducing speed. While on a river, this was not of concern, in a high-speed launch it would require more power. |
27333079_0_5 | 27333079 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oheka%20II | Oheka II | Oheka II.
The initial design choice of Lürssen for Kahn's yacht was for a round bottomed hull, to create a smooth ride and would in turn reduce hydrodynamic drag, they reduced hull weight by forming a composite shell of wooden planks over an alloy metal frame. Finally, to counter the inefficient tendency of round hulls to "squat" stern-down in the water at high speeds, they counterbalanced it by two measures: |
27333079_0_6 | 27333079 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oheka%20II | Oheka II | Oheka II.
a hull form that flattened towards the stern, providing hydrodynamic lift where it was needed
forward positioning the engines, to counterbalance the stern drop |
27333079_0_7 | 27333079 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oheka%20II | Oheka II | Oheka II.
The result was a semi-displacement hull displacing 22 tons, which was wider at the front over the rear, creating an almost perfect high-speed hydrodynamic shape. Having perfected the hull, Lürssen equipped the boat with three Maybach VL II V12 engines of 500 hp each. |
27333079_0_8 | 27333079 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oheka%20II | Oheka II | Oheka II.
In Lürssen speed trials the new craft consistently reached a top speed of 34 knots, making it the fastest boat in its class in the world. There is no basis for the common misconception that Oheka II was a "rum runner" used for smuggling. |

In November 1929, Lürssen was given a contract to build a boat to the same basic design as Oheka II, but all metal with two torpedo tubes on the forecastle, and a slightly improved top speed. It became S-1, the Kriegsmarine's first Schnellboot and the basis for all the other S-Boats built during World War 2. |

Elias Martin (8 March 1739 – 25 January 1818) was a Swedish genre, history, and landscape painter and engraver from Stockholm. He is known for his watercolour paintings of Stockholm, and his landscape oil paintings that feature romantic lighting effects. Nationalencyklopedin describes him as Sweden's "first great landscape painter". |
27333103_0_1 | 27333103 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elias%20Martin | Elias Martin | Elias Martin. Early life
Martin's father was a carpenter and wanted his son to work in carpentry. Martin, however, was more interested in art, and decided to become an apprentice of the painter F.C. Schultz. During his time with Schultz, he was hired by the naval architect Fredrik Henrik af Chapman to design ship ornaments. This job led to an acquaintanceship with Augustin Ehrensvärd, a lieutenant colonel in the artillery and a painter, who brought Martin to the sea fortress of Sveaborg and encouraged him to pursue his painting. |
27333103_0_2 | 27333103 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elias%20Martin | Elias Martin | Elias Martin.
Martin stayed at Sveaborg for two years and painted several paintings of the fortress and its surroundings under the supervision of Ehrensvärd. He also gave drawing lessons to the garrison officers and Ehrensvärd's son, Carl August Ehrensvärd. |
27333103_0_3 | 27333103 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elias%20Martin | Elias Martin | Elias Martin.
In May 1766, Martin traveled to Le Havre and Paris in France where he mostly worked on his own. He tried to copy the style of François Boucher, but quickly realized that it did not suit him. Martin was not a follower of French classicism, and therefore moved to London in 1770. He may have briefly visited Rome before his move. |

In England, Martin spent most of his time on landscape painting, receiving inspiration from Claude Lorrain and the English landscape school. He painted several paintings in this style, but also experimented with portraits, genre paintings, and history paintings. |

Among Martin's most famous works from this time are the paintings he made in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. These include Britomartis befriande Amoret ur trollqvinnans våld (English: Britomart frees Amor from the witch's possession; based on Edmund Spenser's epic poem The Faerie Queene) and Arkebiskop Langton, som af konungen erhåller en handling. |

Martin gained a good reputation in England for his paintings, and he became an Associate of the Royal Academy. In 1781 he earned a membership at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, and a year later he traveled to Sweden. He went ashore in Helsingborg and passed through Lund, Karlskrona, and Kalmar before arriving in Stockholm. On his journey he saw many views that he later depicted in watercolour and oil paintings. Martin stayed in the capital of Sweden for several years, diligently working on paintings, drawings, and engravings that people ordered. Some of his foremost paintings from this period include Midsommarfest, Hertigens af Småland döpelseakt i slottskapellet (1782), Gustaf III:s och hertig Fredrik Adolfs besök i Målare- och bildhuggare-akademien, Uppsala (1784; given to Pope Pius VI), Gripsholm (1784), Engelska parken vid Drottningholm (1785), Stockholm från Mosebacke (1786–87). |

In 1788 Martin once again traveled to England, where he first stayed in London and then in Bath. In the summer of 1791 he was recalled to Sweden by King Gustav III. He remained there until his death. During his final years in Stockholm Martin produced several engravings and paintings, primarily depicting landscapes, in watercolour and oils. He also became an art teacher. |
