M.F.M. Meiklejohn | **Matthew Fontaine Maury Meiklejohn** (24 June 1913 – 14 May 1974\) was an English professor of languages who held the Stevenson Chair for Italian studies at the University of Glasgow for twenty\-five years. He was also a noted amateur ornithologist. It has been claimed that he was among the first "twitchers" who invented the idea of birding "life list".
Meiklejohn was born in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, where he took an early interest in natural history and went to Gresham's School, Holt, and then to Oriel College at Oxford with a scholarship and graduated with first class honours in French and Italian in 1934\. He then moved to Merton College (1936\-1938\) with a Harmsworth Scholarship. He was influenced by many ornithologists including David Lack, Hugh Elliot, James Fisher, and Wilfred Backhouse Alexander. He then went to teach at Cape Town University and joined the South African army and worked to gather intelligence in Kenya, Egypt and Italy. He worked at the British Council in Teheran after the war.
He taught Italian at Leeds before being the Stevenson Chair of Italian at Glasgow University. He died after a brief illness and on his request, his ashes were scattered on the Isle of May, his favourite haunt for bird study.
He published many notes on birds from the age of fourteen. In later life he examined the Dante's knowledge of ornithology and studied Emperor Frederick II's *De Arte Venandi cum Avibus*. He also ran a very popular column of lighter writing in the *Glasgow Herald* under the initials MFMM. This series ran from 1951 to 1974 and included more than a thousand articles. He is also famous for his humorous hoax on the bare\-fronted hoodwink (*Dissimulatrix spuria*) published in *Bird Notes* in 1950\. |
Recombinant antibodies | **Recombinant antibodies** are antibody fragments produced by using recombinant antibody coding genes. They mostly consist of a heavy and light chain of the variable region of immunoglobulin. Recombinant antibodies have many advantages in both medical and research applications, which make them a popular subject of exploration and new production against specific targets. The most commonly used form is the single chain variable fragment (scFv), which has shown the most promising traits exploitable in human medicine and research. In contrast to monoclonal antibodies produced by hybridoma technology, which may lose the capacity to produce the desired antibody over time or the antibody may undergo unwanted changes, which affect its functionality, recombinant antibodies produced in phage display maintain high standard of specificity and low immunogenicity. |

Wyoming Cowboys football statistical leaders | The **Wyoming Cowboys football statistical leaders** are individual statistical leaders of the Wyoming Cowboys football program in various categories, including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single\-game, single\-season, and career leaders. The Cowboys represent the University of Wyoming in the NCAA Division I FBS Mountain West Conference (MW).
Although Wyoming began competing in intercollegiate football in 1892, the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1951\. Records from before this year are often incomplete and inconsistent, and they are generally not included in these lists.
These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:
* Since 1951, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length.
* The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until 1972 (with the exception of the World War II years), limiting players prior to 1972 to three\-year careers.
* Bowl games only began counting toward single\-season and career statistics in 2002\. The Cowboys have played in seven bowl games since this decision, giving many recent players an extra game to accumulate statistics.
* The MW has held a conference championship game since 2013\. The Cowboys played in this game in 2016, giving players in that season one more game to accumulate statistics.
* Due to COVID\-19 issues, the NCAA ruled that the 2020 season would not count against the athletic eligibility of any football player, giving everyone who played in that season the opportunity for five years of eligibility instead of the normal four.
These lists are updated through the 2021 season. |

Randall S. Peterson | **Randall Scott Peterson** is a professor of Organisational Behaviour and Academic Director of the Leadership Institute at London Business School. |
Richard Harnott | **Richard Harnott** (1807 – 7 February 1872\) was a British trade union leader.
Harnott worked as a stonemason and became active in the Operative Society of Masons. In 1847, he was elected as the union's general secretary, and focused on centralising the operations of the union. As was customary in unions of the period, its headquarters moved from town to town, spending a few years in each one, and Harnott in time was based in Liverpool, Leeds, Bolton, Bradford and Bristol. The central committee was provided by the local branch in the town, and Harnott's willingness to move meant that he was soon by far the most experienced union official.
In his early years, Harnott was only narrowly re\-elected each year, many branches disliking his centralisation and his refusal to give permission for breaches of the union's rules. His support gradually increased, the biggest turning point being in 1863 when a threatening letter and rope tied in a noose were sent to him, suspected to be from Henry Faulkner, a leader of the Manchester branch. This shocked members, and discouraged further dissent.
While Harnott had little involvement with the national trade union movement, and in opposing compulsory conciliation, he stood in direct opposition to the "Junta", he did send a delegation to Scotland to help the United Operative Masons' Association of Scotland rebuild after it almost collapsed in 1878\. The success of this led to other delegations to areas of England and Wales where the union lacked organisation, in an attempt to recruit, a new idea among trade unions. Under his leadership, the idea of a seasonal strike was developed \- only during the summer months, when masons were more in demand.
Harnott led the union through successive victories, facing down an 1858 attempt by a new Federation of Master Builders to introduce hourly payments with national strike action. By 1860, it had achieved a nine\-hour working day across most of Lancashire. A major attempt by employers in 1869 to impose hourly payment was again largely defeated, although in Liverpool and Manchester the masons were eventually defeated.
In 1867, the union decided to appoint an assistant secretary, with a Mr Atkins being the choice of most lodges. However, when sending out voting papers, Harnott included a note asking members not to vote for Atkins, as he disliked him. Atkins was defeated by James Dyer. This was in defiance of the union's rules and hugely controversial, but Harnott gained the support of the union's committee, and won a vote of confidence from members in his conduct.
By 1870, Harnott was suffering from declining health, but he continued to work long hours, with Dyer assisting, effectively as a clerk. On his death, the *Manchester Times* declared that Harnott has been "as well known in trade circles as Mr Gladstone is in the political world". |
