# Leslie Van Gelder

Leslie Van Gelder (born January 27, 1969) is an American archaeologist, writer, and educator whose primary work involves the study of Paleolithic Finger Flutings in Rouffignac Cave and Gargas Cave in Southern France.
Working with her husband, the late archaeologist and theologian Kevin J. Sharpe, she spent 10 years developing methodologies to study finger flutings. Their work, building on the internal analysis concepts established by Alexander Marshack, was the first to be able to establish unique identities of cave artists through the study of individual hands and the application of 2D:4D finger studies. Their work on finger flutings was the first to show symbolic behavior by children in the Paleolithic through the creation of tectiforms in Rouffignac. Later work showed the role of women and children in the creation of cave art in Rouffignac. Their application of Zipf's Law from communications theory also gave the first replicable methodology for determining whether or not fluted panels represented purposeful communication or a proto form of writing. Today Van Gelder continues to research in Rouffignac and Gargas caves and lectures internationally. Her current research focuses on the role of children in both caves. She is a Program Director at Walden University's Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership.

# Vocal Performances

Vocal Performances was a 12" single released by Pere Ubu frontman David Thomas in 1981. The single was released on Rough Trade Records as Trade 5/12. As per its title, Vocal Performances features two (mostly) cappella recordings from Thomas.
The first track, "Petrified", argues that evolutionary thinking and Latin nomenclature have poorly captured dinosaurs' charm and dignity, such as the Haplocanthosaur, Pterosaur and Archaeopteryx. The second track is "Sloop John B", a cover of the traditional song made famous on Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys. Thomas has argued elsewhere that Pet Sounds is the greatest music album ever recorded.
"Petrified" was recorded at Bushflow Studio in Akron, Ohio, and features a clarinet solo by Ralph Carney. An ensemble version of the track appears on the Pere Ubu album Song of the Bailing Man. "Sloop John B" was recorded on a portable cassette recorder at the Hotel Slavia in London. A copy of this performance was later overdubbed with drums and trumpet and released on Thomas's first solo album, The Sound of the Sand and Other Songs by the Pedestrians.

# Dias d'Ávila

# USS Sallie Wood

USS Sallie Wood was a 256-ton steamer captured by the Union Navy during the early years of the American Civil War.
She assigned by the Union Navy during the blockade of ports and waterways of the Confederate States of America to a number of duties: as a tugboat, a dispatch boat, a troopship, and as an ammunition ship, mostly on the Mississippi River and its tributaries.

## Service history

Sallie Wood was a wooden steamer built in 1860 at Paducah, Kentucky. Early in the Civil War, she was acquired by the Confederate government and used as a troop transport on the Mississippi River and its tributaries.
After a Union naval force under Flag Officer Foote captured Fort Henry, Tennessee, on 6 February 1862, Lt. S. L. Phelps, in USS Conestoga, led gunboats, USS Tyler and USS Lexington, up the Tennessee River seeking Confederate shipping. On the 8th, they seized steamers, Sallie Wood and Muscle. The former was laden with iron intended for shipment to Richmond, Virginia. Moreover, the sweep of the Union gunboats had compelled retreating Confederate forces to burn three other Southern vessels lest they be captured.
In returning down stream, Muscle sprang a leak and sank; but Sallie Wood descended safely and was taken into the Western Flotilla for service as a transport, a tugboat, and an ammunition ship. While steaming along the navigable branches of the Mississippi River, Sallie Wood occasionally braved fire from masked riverside batteries. In July, as she ascended the Mississippi carrying sick soldiers, she was fired upon by Confederate cannon concealed ashore at Carolina Landing, at Princeton, and at other points above.
On the 21 July, attacks on the steamer were made from Argyle Landing and from Island No. 82. A shot during the latter ambush pierced her steam drum and left her dead in the water. Her pilot used the current to run her aground on the island, but the cannonade continued until all of the side wheeler's officers, crew, and passengers had been forced to leave the ship. The Confederates later removed whatever they could salvage and burned the steamer to her waterline.

# Kevin V. Ryan

Kevin V. Ryan (born 1957) is a former United States Attorney for the Northern District of California. He was one of the attorneys whose name was mentioned in connection to the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy.

## Education and background

Ryan was born in Alberta Canada to Irish immigrant parents. Ryan was raised in San Francisco, graduating from Saint Ignatius College Preparatory. Ryan earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from Dartmouth College in 1980, and received his Juris Doctor from the University of San Francisco School of Law in 1984.
Ryan began his legal career in California as a prosecutor with the Alameda County District Attorney's Office. While working with the District Attorney's Office, he handled a variety of cases including homicides and violent gang prosecutions.
In 1996, while serving as a member of the Violent Gang Suppression Unit, Ryan was appointed by Governor Pete Wilson to serve as a Judge on the San Francisco Municipal Court.

## U.S. Attorney career and dismissal

President George W. Bush nominated Ryan as the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California. His nomination to was at the recommendation of Joseph P. Russoniello, a previous holder of the office. Ryan was confirmed by the United States Senate in July 2002.
Ryan was part of a controversy relating to the dismissal of nine U.S. Attorneys by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and announced his resignation in January 2007. The Los Angeles Times reported that Ryan was a "loyal Bush supporter" and that the Justice Department fired him primarily out of concern that his poor performance could cause a public relations problem. According to the report, Ryan's problems in office were "well documented in legal newspapers" but "Justice officials wanted to keep Ryan on, even as they plotted the firings of other U.S. attorneys." Publicly released emails between Justice Department officials suggest that they reluctantly added him to the list of attorneys to be fired due to a Federal judge's threat to obtain and potentially release copies of his "blistering" negative evaluations.

## City of San Francisco

In 2008, Ryan was hired by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom to be his criminal justice advisor to address San Francisco's rising homicide rates. He resigned in December 2009.
# Jacksonville and LaVilla Street Railway

The Jacksonville and LaVilla Street Railway was a railway formed on Wednesday, April 16, 1884, by William L'Engle, Jas Marion and John Hartridge, to better connect what were independent cities. The Charter gave the company:
Power to construct, equip and operate, with steam, horse, or other power one or more lines of street railway in the County of Duval, in the State of Florida, within the corporate limits of the cities of Jacksonville and La Villa and their vincinage,'said railroad to be first laid down Bay Street from Bridge Street to Market Street, thence up Market Street to Duval, thence along Duval Street to Hogan Street, thence down Hogan Street to Bay Street, and the municipal corporation bestows upon the company the power to construct a street railway along Hogan Street.
Construction moved rapidly and the line was opened on January 24, 1885, to a huge celebration. From Bay and Newnan, the tracks ran North on Newnan to Adams and hence to Broad Street at about the intersection of the current Adams and Myrtle Streets. The little car line was bought out by Henry Plant's much larger Jacksonville Street Railway in 1886 and much of its route east of Broad Street was taken up and a new route was laid up Broad from Bay to Monroe.
At that point it was fully merged into the larger company.

# Dictyophara europaea

Dictyophara europaea, is the type species of planthoppers belonging to the subgenus Dictyophara (Dictyophara): in the family Dictyopharidae, and tribe Dictyopharini.

## Etymology

The scientific genus name Dictyophara derives from the Greek (dictyon: net and phorein: wear) and can be translated "who wears a net". The common name European lantern fly is actually derived from a species (Fulgora laternaria) belonging to another family (Fulgoridae).

## Subspecies

* Dictyophara europaea rosea Costa, 1862

## Distribution

This species can be found in most of Europe, in North Africa and in the eastern Palearctic realm (Afghanistan, Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iran, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Montenegro, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine and Xinjiang).

## Habitat

These insects occurs in dry grasslands and warm open areas.

## Description

Dictyophara europaea can reach a body length of about 9–13 mm (0.35–0.51 in). These planthoppers have an ovoidal light green body and a conical head extended forward with two strong longitudinal keels and a middle keel converging to the tip. Also the pronotum shows a middle keel and two lateral keels. The forewings are about the same size as the hind wings. Wings are transparent (hyaline) with rich green veining. The distal part of the fore wings has a network formed by the veins. The larvae are similar to the imago in color, shape and head shape. The rarer subspecies Dictyophara europaea rosea shows a pinkish body.

## Biology

Adults can be found from June to October. These insects live among herbaceous plants feeding on sap. The eggs are deposited by the female in the soil and thereby individually covered with earth by special structures of the ovipositor. These planthoppers can communicate with conspecifics by vibration signals.
This species is univoltine and polyphagous. The main recorded host plants belong to the family of Asteraceae (Achillea millefolium, Crepis foetida, Sonchus asper), Poaceae (Agropyron repens, Setaria viridis), Amaranthaceae (Amaranthus retroflexus), Ranunculaceae (Clematis vitalba) and Plantaginaceae (Linaria vulgaris).
# UK Metric Association

The UK Metric Association, or UKMA, is an advocacy group in the United Kingdom that argues for completion of metrication in the United Kingdom and advocates the use of the metric system among the general public in the UK.

## History

UKMA was founded by Chris Keenan in 1999 and formally associated in 2002 as an independent, non-party political, single-issue organisation. Later, an e-mail forum was started for supporters of metrication. In 2005, a website called ThinkMetric to help and encourage the general public to think in metric units was launched. In 2006, a blog called MetricViews was launched.
The current chair of UKMA is Peter Burke, and the secretary is Ronnie Cohen. As of April 2023, its patrons are Gavin Esler, Jim Al-Khalili, Lord Kinnock and Lord Taverne.

## Campaigns

In July 2004, UKMA published its report, "A Very British Mess", as part of its campaign to end the simultaneous use of imperial and metric measurements and for the Government to complete the switch to metric units. In the foreward, its patron Geoffrey Howe confesses that "I didn’t challenge the decision to abolish the Metrication Board, when I was Chancellor of the Exchequer. I didn’t often run away from difficult decisions - but this is one that I did duck."
In February 2006, UKMA called for the Government to set a date for the conversion of road signs from imperial to metric units.

## Opposition

The aims of UKMA contrast with those of the British Weights and Measures Association (BWMA), which opposes what it describes as "compulsory use of the metric system". BWMA also campaigns against what it calls "unlawful metric pedestrian signs". It claims that "hundreds of unlawful metric signs have been converted back to imperial, following letters of complaint by BWMA and its supporters".
