# Sundial, Boy with Spider

Sundial, Boy With Spider is an outdoor sculpture and functional sundial by American artist Willard Dryden Paddock (1873–1956). It is located within the Oldfields estate on the grounds of the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA), in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. The bronze sculpture, cast by the Gorham Manufacturing Company, depicts a boy sitting cross-legged with an open scroll in his lap.

## Description

A young boy sits with his ankles crossed and knees spread, holding a sundial in the form of a scroll in his lap; this scroll is marked in a grid of lines with month names and geographic coordinates. In his lap beneath the scroll sits a bundle of flowers. The boy’s proper left hand rests on his left knee. His proper right hand, which is in contact with his head, casually holds a twig over the scroll. A wire wrapped around the end of the twig hangs straight down to the base, where it is affixed. A bronze spider is affixed to the wire in the correct place to act as the gnomon of the sundial. (The wire, twig, and spider are restorations from 2004.) The boy rests on an oval base.

### Inscribed text
#### Scroll

Inscribed on the scroll are a grid of lines and analemmas marked with months, dates, and hours sufficient to plot the time over the course of the year, as well as a set of coordinates that mark the original location of the sculpture:
    Lat 39°, 50 N 86°, 10 W Long
Inscribed on the proper left bottom corner:
    Dial Marking by Albert C. Crehore, inventor

#### Base

## Condition

The bronze sculpture is monitored, cleaned, and treated regularly by the IMA art conservation staff. The surface of the bronze is protected from deterioration and corrosion by the yearly application of a fresh coat of hard wax. This sculpture was surveyed in July 1993 of as part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Inventories of American Painting and Sculpture database, and it was considered to be well maintained. In 2004 the IMA conservation staff undertook a major treatment of the sculpture in which the surface was repatinated to unify the color and improve its readability, and the newly fabricated wire and spider gnomon were added to restore the functionality of the sundial. In June 2011, the wire and spider are currently missing from the sundial.

# Verrucariales

Verrucariales is an order of ascomycetous fungi within the subclass Chaetothyriomycetidae of the class Eurotiomycetes. Although most of the Verrucariales are lichenised, the family Sarcopyreniaceae consists of 11 species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi.
Phylogenomic analysis suggests that the divergence between the lichenised Verrucariales and nonlichenised Chaetothyriales occurred about 131 million years ago.

## Description

Members of the Verrucariales are primarily organisms that form symbiotic relationships with algae or cyanobacteria, creating lichens. These lichens are remarkable for their ability to thrive in a wide range of environments, from extremely dry land habitats to freshwater and even marine ecosystems, where they are particularly abundant. A significant portion of Verrucariales species can be found growing on rocks, especially in temperate climates. Some fungi in this order have evolved to become parasites, either living independently or forming lichens themselves while feeding on other lichens.
The physical structure (thallus) of Verrucariales lichens varies greatly in both form and colour. Many species contain melanin, a dark pigment also found in human skin, which is a characteristic shared with another fungal order called Chaetothyriales. Unlike many other lichens, Verrucariales rarely produce specialised structures for asexual reproduction, such as isidia (small, coral-like outgrowths) or soredia (powdery clusters of fungal cells wrapped around algal cells).
For sexual reproduction, these fungi typically develop flask-shaped structures called perithecia, which may be embedded within the lichen body or grow on its surface. These perithecia have small openings (ostioles) through which spores are released. The spores are produced in sac-like structures called asci, which have a double wall. When mature, these asci either split open or dissolve to release the spores. At maturity, the reproductive structures of Verrucariales lack certain sterile tissues (called interascal elements) that are present in many other fungi, a feature they share with the order Chaetothyriales.

## Genera of uncertain placement

There are some genera in the Verrucariales that have not been placed with certainty into any family. These are:
* Botryolepraria Canals, Hern.-Mar., Gómez-Bolea & Llimona (1997) – 2 spp.
* Gemmaspora D.Hawksw. & Halici (2007) – 1 sp.
* Kalbiana Henssen (1998) – 1 sp.
* Merismatium Zopf (1898) – 10 spp.

# Verrucaria placida

Verrucaria placida is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. Found in freshwater habitats in Europe, it was formally described as a new species in 2013 by lichenologist Alan Orange. The type specimen was collected by the author south of the Moelvi river (Modalen, Norway), where it was found in woodland, growing on a stone in a shaded stream. The species epithet placida, derived from the Latin word for "quiet" or "peaceful", refers to the "smooth, unbroken thallus and the characteristic but unstriking appearance of this lichen". Verrucaria placida has been recorded in Norway, southern Germany, and Wales, where it occurs in small streams and grows on shaded siliceous rocks and stones.

# Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi II

Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi II was the Ruler of Ajman, one of the Trucial States which today form the United Arab Emirates (UAE), from 1864–1891. His reign, while largely peaceful, saw the expansion of Wahhabi influence in the Trucial States.

## Al Zorah fort

Rashid was involved in the attempt to build a fortification at Al Zorah, on the coast of Ajman to the south of Hamriyah. Originally an uninhabited sandy island surrounded by mangrove swamps, in 1866 Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi of Sharjah, supported by Rashid bin Humaid and with the financial assistance of the Wahhabi agent, Turki bin Ahmed Al Sudairi, erected a fort there. As the development 'threatened the peace of the coast' according to the British, it was bombarded by the British ship HMS Highflyer and reduced to rubble.

## Maritime Peace

Ajman during Rashid's reign benefited from the period of relative peace and calm that followed the 1853 Perpetual Maritime Treaty, when both maritime trade and pearl fishing were able to both thrive and prosper. One of the rare major breaches of that treaty was to come in 1882, when a number of boats from Ajman were implicated in an attack on a Turkish-flagged boat, the 'Fath Al Karim', in the Red Sea. Not only had Ajman boats taken part in the raid, but the booty had been landed at Ajman. The British promptly despatched HMS Arab to Ajman and nine boats of Ajman's fleet were burnt as an example. A spat between Sharjah and Ajman boats broke out on the pearling banks in 1884, resolved this time by the British burning the Sharjah boat.
Although the seas were relatively calm, a number of events took place over Rashid's reign to disturb the peace on land. Principle among these was the constant problem of absconding debtors. Escaping a debt, a trader would flee from one emirate and take refuge in the next, leading to constant breakdowns in the relationships between the coastal communities. Rashid bin Humaid signed the 'Absconding Debtors Agreement' of 24 June 1879, which the British hoped would act as an effective instrument of extradition between the Rulers.

# Vienna Ditto

Vienna Ditto are a trip hop band from England who describe their music as 'voodoo sci-fi blues'. Formed in 2008, they have featured on BBC Radio One, Channel 4 and played at Glastonbury in 2009. Many of their songs are given as free use for video projects.
Their EP, Ticks, was released on 13 May 2016.

## History

Nigel Firth and Scott Lawrence were members of the 1990s indie dance band Riser, and went on to create the group One Dollar Peep Show. In 2008 they teamed with Hatty Taylor to create Vienna Ditto, at one stage appearing in The Hollyoaks Music Show, and also playing Glastonbury. In November 2009 they were guests at the BBC's Maida Vale studios, performing four tracks as part of the corporation's "Introducing..." format, sessions which can still be viewed via the official BBC website. The group described the Maida Vale sessions as only their fifth gig.

## YouTube association

The band's free use policy on many of their tracks saw their song "La Niña Blanca" uploaded on 18 October 2014 on a free source music channel, though it did not initially garner much attention, with less than 5000 views by April 2016. The track was later used as an opening theme by the YouTuber 'Dakota Hendrix', who also went by the title 'The Gender Terrorist'. On 17 May 2016 the YouTube channel LeafyIsHere released a parody video of the Gender Terrorist channel, which received over 3.7 million hits by December 2016. A follow-up video on 31 May 2016 received over 2.9 million views in the same time frame, with many commentators responding to the music and asking for the track's name. Consequently, views of the track on YouTube rose, and by the end of 2016 exceeded 62,000 views.
