# Argonautidae

The Argonautidae are a family of pelagic cephalopods that inhabit tropical and temperate oceans of the world. The family encompasses the modern paper nautiluses of the genus Argonauta along with several extinct genera of shelled octopods. Though argonauts are derived from benthic octopuses, they have evolved to depart the sea floor and live their life-cycle in the open seas.
The family is characterised by brittle white shells constructed by the females, but which the dwarf male argonauts lack. These shells are primarily egg-cases, and are not attached to the body of the female. Paper nautiluses are often found washed up on beaches and are valued for their delicate beauty. The shell also plays the role of a buoyancy device, which the female controls by varying the amount of gulped air. All eggcases possessing nodes, ribs, and a double keel, with the exception of those of fossil Kapal batavus, have been assigned to Argonauta. Eggcases lacking these morphological features have been placed in the other Argonautidae genera.
Fossil Argonautidae eggcases have been described from Japan, New Zealand, Sumatra, Europe, and California.

# August Holtz

August Holtz (February 12, 1871 – March 5, 1938) was a United States Navy sailor and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor.

## Biography

Holtz was born on February 12, 1871, in St. Louis, Missouri and joined the Navy in 1891. By September 8, 1910, he was serving as chief watertender on the USS North Dakota (BB-29). On that day, while the North Dakota was conducting tests using oil as fuel, an explosion occurred, killing three sailors and endangering the ship. In the engine room, pieces of hot coal and coke floated in waist-high hot water, oil was aflame above one of the boilers, and the entire room was filled with smoke, steam, and fumes. Despite these dangers, Holtz and five other men of the ship's engineering department entered the engine room to stifle the boiler fires and perform other tasks necessary to prevent a boiler explosion. After ensuring the safety of the ship, they then searched for and removed the bodies of the three sailors killed in the initial explosion.
For these actions, Holtz and the five other men were approved for the Medal of Honor a month later, on October 4. On 13 June 1911, President Taft presented all six heroes with their medal in a ceremony at the White House. The others were Chief Machinist's Mate Thomas Stanton, Chief Machinist's Mate Karl Westa, Chief Watertender Patrick Reid, Machinist's Mate First Class Charles C. Roberts, and Watertender Harry Lipscomb. Holtz left the Navy the same year.
Holtz died at age 67.

## Medal of Honor citation

Holtz's official Medal of Honor citation reads:
   On board the U.S.S. North Dakota, for extraordinary heroism in the line of his profession during the fire on board that vessel, 8 September 1910.
# Audenshaw railway station

Audenshaw railway station served the Hooley Hill area of Audenshaw, in Tameside, Manchester, England. There were two London and North Western Railway (L&NWR) stations with this name in different locations within the Audenshaw area; this was the second one located to the south of the area in Hooley Hill.

## History

The line through the station site opened on 1 November 1882, when the L&NWR opened the Denton and Dukinfield branch from Denton Junction to Dukinfield station (which became Dukinfield Central in 1954) on the Great Central Railway (GC).
The station opened as Hooley Hill Guide Bridge on 1 November 1887. It was located on the east side of Mount Pleasant Street, where the line emerged from a short tunnel. The station had two platforms one each side of the two running lines. There were no goods facilities.
In 1893, the L&NWR built their own Stalybridge junction line, from just south of the GC Dukinfield Central station through Dukinfield and Ashton to Stalybridge; the link to the GC station closed in 1902.
The station was closed for alterations from 1 January 1917 to 3 October 1921; it was renamed Audenshaw on 2 June 1924.
The Bradshaw's Guide timetable for 1922 listed 11 southbound & 12 northbound trains calling on Mondays to Saturdays, but none on Sundays.
The station closed on 25 September 1950 and the line was closed on 1 January 1968.

# 2-(2-(Dimethylamino)ethoxy)ethanol

2-[2-(Dimethylamino)ethoxy]ethanol is an organic compound with the molecular formula C$_6$H$_{15}$NO$_2$ and is a liquid at room temperature. Dimethylaminoethoxyethanol is polyfunctional, having a tertiary amine, ether and hydroxyl functionality. Like other organic amines, it acts as a weak base.

## Manufacture

Dimethylaminoethoxyethanol is manufactured by reacting dimethylamine and ethylene oxide. Other methods are also available producing streams rich in the substance which then need to be further purified.

## Uses

As dimethylaminoethoxyethanol is weakly basic, it has been studied as a method of absorbing Greenhouse gases and in particular carbon dioxide.
Dimethylaminoethoxyethanol is used extensively in surfactants which have also been evaluated as corrosion inhibitors. Surfactants prepared are usually cationic and may also be used as a biocide. This is particularly important for oilfield applications against Sulfate-reducing microorganisms.
The material has other uses which include:
* General such as clays, intermediates, plasticizers and adhesives.
* As a catalyst and especially for polyurethanes.
* Process regulators
* Propellants and blowing agents

## Toxicity

The toxicity of dimethylaminoethoxyethanol has been extensively studied.

Sculpture :—The dominant feature is a prominent peripheral keel revolving round all the whorls. The summit of each whorl is crowned by a double thread. Along the fasciole area run four slender threads. Between the keel and the anterior end of the shell occur about twenty cords, diminishing progressively as they recede from the periphery. Numerous crescentic threads cross the excavate fasciole. Fine radial lines also appear in the interstices of the basal spirals.
Aperture :—The sinus is wide and deep, the canal short and open, a thin film of callus on the upper lip.

# Auto-linking

Auto-linking is a mechanism for automatically determining which libraries to link to while building a C, C++ or Obj-C program. It is activated by means of #pragma comment(lib, <name>) statements in the header files of the library, or @import <name>, depending on the compiler.
Most Windows compilers support auto-linking, as does Clang, while GCC does not support auto-linking.
