# Vernon Dvorak

Vernon Francis Dvorak (November 15, 1928 – September 19, 2022) was an American meteorologist. He studied meteorology at the University of California, Los Angeles and wrote his Master thesis An investigation of the inversion-cloud regime over the subtropical waters west of California in 1966. In 1973 he developed the Dvorak technique to analyze tropical cyclones from satellite imagery. He worked with the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service. He lived in Ojai, California, until his death on September 19, 2022.

## Life and career

Vernon Francis Dvorak was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on November 15, 1928.
Dvorak's most influential work was the creation of the Dvorak technique, a method of estimating tropical cyclone intensity using infrared satellite. The Dvorak technique is credited as "fundamentally [enhancing] the ability to monitor tropical cyclones on a global scale." The method provides an invaluable tool in monitoring these systems given the limitations of direct measurements on such a vast scale.
Dvorak married Joanne Foyola Schafroth in Los Angeles in January 1958. He died on September 19, 2022, at the age of 93.

# Open Access (UK and Ireland TV channels)

Open Access, Open Access 2 and Open Access 3 were a set of television channels based in the United Kingdom and broadcast on the Sky Digital satellite platform. They broadcast old films and also sought to broadcast new work from small independent producers.
OFCOM listed the licences for Open Access and Open Access 2 as registered to Open Access Group Limited, while the licence for Open Access 3 was registered to Trace TV (UK) Limited. Both companies had the same address in Hoxton Square, London.
The company structure is quite complicated, although not unusually so. The formal registered address of all the companies is that of a firm of chartered accountants in Friern Barnet, north London, however, as is common, this is not the operating address but the address of representatives who handle accounting and legal matters. Documents available through the companies' associated websites state that Open Access is a trading name of Definition Broadcast Limited. Definition Broadcast is a company providing various technical services for digital television broadcasting and has an address in Regent Street, central London. However the address of the registered contacts for the firm's internet domain "definition.tv" is the same Hoxton Square address as that of the Open Access companies.
The main content on the Open Access channels were old films, broadcast under the Hollywood Classics Network brand, which appeared to be a separate operation with a postal address in Brixworth, Northamptonshire. Another brand is Open View, which was described as a "rolling film competition available to all film makers and media artists". Applicants were charged a fee of £50 to enter their work into the scheme and have it broadcast.
From February 2010, Open Access 3 broadcast live coverage of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
Open Access closed on 3 December 2009, after its Sky EPG slot of channel 883 was purchased by Renault TV. Open Access 2 closed on 21 September 2010 after its Sky EPG slot of channel 189 was purchased by Information TV for Information TV +1. Finally, Open Access 3 closed on 4 April 2011 after its Sky EPG slot of channel 190 was purchased by Sony Pictures Television for Sony Entertainment Television.
Between 17 December 2007 and 1 September 2010 the Open Access Group also operated OMusic TV.
# Muscari latifolium

Muscari latifolium, the broad-leaved grape hyacinth, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. The Latin specific epithet latifolium means "broad-leaved".

## Description

It is a bulbous perennial geophyte, reaching a height of 15–40 cm (6–16 in), rarely 50 cm (20 in). There are usually one, rarely two leaves present. These are 7–30 cm (3–12 in) long and 1 to 3 cm wide, upright, wide and linear to ovate-lanceolate. They are drawn together and often hood-shaped. The flower stem is slightly longer than the leaves. The inflorescence is a raceme 2 to 6 centimeters long and 1.5 centimeters wide. The fertile flowers at the base are 5 to 6 mm long and 3 mm wide, oblong-shaped and a deep purple colour. The sterile flowers at the top are 4–8 mm long and pale lilac or blue. The flowering period extends from April to May in the Northern Hemisphere.

## Distribution

M. latifolium is found in southern and western Turkey, adjacent to sparse pine forests at altitudes from 1,100–1,800 m (3,609–5,906 ft).

Widely used as an ornamental plant in flower beds, M. latifolium is hardy to USDA Zone 5, and in the British Isles and all of Europe down to −20 °C (−4 °F). It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
# Umberto Calvello

Sottotenente de Vascello Umberto Calvello was a World War I fighter ace credited with five victories.

## Biography

Umberto Calvello was born in Pistoia, Kingdom of Italy on 28 May 1897. His father was a general; his grandfather was an admiral for the Kingdom of Two Sicilies.
He began his naval aviation career as an aerial observer for 251a Squadriglia. As such, he won a Bronze Medal for Military Valor for a night raid on Trieste, and its stormy return, on 30 June 1917. He progressed first to being the pilot of a two-seater reconnaissance craft during Summer 1917, flying 18 sorties in October and November. He then progressed to piloting single-seater fighters. In Spring 1918, he was posted to the 260a Squadriglia of the Italian Air Force, and was stationed near Venice. Calvello scored his first aerial victory on 22 April 1918, and three more are known on 4 May 1918; all were victories shared with Federico Martinengo and other wingmen. A postwar evaluation of aces' records granted him a fifth victory, but details of it are unknown.
Calvello also flew some interesting missions besides combat sorties. On several occasions, he made espionage flights behind enemy lines, to resupply spies with carrier pigeons. On 31 October 1918, he was downed into a swamp, but rescued by a squadronmate.
Umberto Calvello died on 10 August 1919, when his SIAI S.9 flying boat developed engine problems and crashed.

# Paul Schaap

P.A. (Paul) Schaap (Wageningen, 31 January 1950) is a former Dutch military soldier and former employee at the nuclear reactor in Petten. He became well known as a whistleblower within the nuclear reactor Petten. Nowadays Schaap works as a journalist.

## Whistleblower

In 2001 Schaap was a Deputy Chief of Staff at the nuclear reactor in Petten. Schaap noticed that the reactor had very tight supply contracts, which resulted in the reactor continuously running even after malfunctions. Schaap addressed this internally in a so-called blackbook, with no result. After that, Schaap decided to address the security problems externally, to the director of the Kernfysische Dienst. Even after promises from the director to let Schaap stay anonymous in the matter, his name became publicly known, which led to a labor dispute. After the conflict, the company he was then working for decided to offer him another job, but this time not at the reactor. It was a daytime job, compared to the nightshifts he previously worked, which would have complications as he also worked at a news agency. Next to that, Schaap also liked working at the reactor facility. This led to him declining the job offer. While having acquired a lot of sympathy, appreciation and attention from the press, Schaap still lost his job. The judge handling the whistleblower case of Schaap concluded that Schaap could not get the status of a whistleblower because he didn't take enough internal action to address the problem and he also went to the press too early. This matter led to Schaap not being able to return to his old function.
After the dilemma Schaap filed a claim of €800,000 at the VROM as compensation for loss of income and pension breach. He eventually got €200,000 as repayment for loss of retirement benefits.
In 2016 Schaap cooperated in the documentary Stank voor dank, where multiple whistleblowers tell their stories about their experiences with going public about wrongdoings of their former employers.
# Noticiana

The Noticiana is a breed of domestic sheep indigenous to the inland parts of the province of Syracuse, in south-eastern Sicily, Italy. Its name derives from that of the town and comune of Noto. It is raised in the province of Syracuse and in neighbouring parts of that of Ragusa. It is a southern Mediterranean breed, and derives from the Comisana.
The Noticiana is one of the forty-two autochthonous local sheep breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep-breeders. However the herdbook is apparently empty and none have been reported for many years. The numbers and conservation status of the breed are unknown.
The milk yield of the Noticiana averages 35 litres in 100 days for primiparous ewes, and 80 litres in 200 days for pluriparous ones. The milk is used to make the regional cheeses of the Val di Noto area, fresh and peppered pecorino, and ricotta.

# Starksia atlantica

Starksia atlantica, the smooth-eye blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the western central Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea where it inhabits coral reefs at depths of around 8 metres (26 ft).

## Description

Adult Starksia atlantica can grow to 2.5 cm (0.98 in) in length. It is an elongated shape with a continuous short dorsal fin running most of the length of the body. The colour is variable, being mostly mottled brown on a silvery background with larger dark spots above. The dorsal fin has 18–19 rays, the anal fin 7–8 rays, the pelvic fins have 15–16 and the pectorals 14 rays.
Early-stage larvae of Starksia are more tadpole-shaped than other labrisomids and lack some of the melanophores (dark spots) typical of the family. Juvenile Starksia atlantica are long and narrow, with large eyes. The mouth is at the tip of the pointed snout. Both the dorsal and anal fins run continuously for most of the length of the body. The pectoral fins are long and the pelvic fins have 2 spines and are long and threadlike. The melanophores are few in number and occur at the base of the anal fin rays.

## Phylogeny

Starksia atlantica has five distinct lineages of varied geographic distribution. Barbados (BAR) and Panama (PAN) lineages are identified by COI sequencing divergence. Curaçao (CUR), Saba Bank (SAB), and Bahamas/Turks and Caicos/Belize (BAH/ TCI/BLZ) lineages lack an orbital cirrus.
# Muscari aucheri

Muscari aucheri, Aucher-Éloy grape hyacinth, is a species of flowering plant in the squill subfamily Scilloideae of the asparagus family Asparagaceae. It is a perennial bulbous plant, one of a number of species and genera known as grape hyacinths. Originally from Turkey, where it grows in grassy alpine areas, it is sometimes grown as an ornamental plant. The synonym M. tubergenianum (also spelt M. tubergianum) may be found in the horticultural literature.
The Latin specific epithet aucheri honours the French pharmacist and botanist Pierre Martin Rémi Aucher-Éloy (1792–1838) (one of numerous plants named for him).

## Description

M. aucheri is usually less than 10 centimetres (3.9 in) tall, although taller forms are known. There are usually only two or three leaves per bulb, relatively wide for a muscari, which have a greyish green upper side and a hooded or boat-shaped tip. The flowers are arranged in a dense spike or raceme. The lower fertile flowers are bright blue with whitish lobes or teeth around the mouth of the more or less spherical flower; the upper sterile flowers are a paler blue or almost white.

## Cultivation

In cultivation it is said to be easy to grow but not to increase very rapidly. The plant sold under the name M. tubergenianum is more robust than the wild form, or possibly a hybrid. This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Numerous cultivars are available, such as 'Blue Magic', 'White Magic', 'Mount Hood' and 'Dark Eyes' (the last has also been listed as a cultivar of M. armeniacum or M. botryoides).
