# William Cony

William Cony (died 1707) was a British Royal Navy captain.

## Biography

Cony attained the rank of captain on 1 April 1704, when he was appointed to command the Sorlings frigate. In September 1705 he was sent, in company with Captains Foljambe, of the Pendennis, and Martin, of the Blackwall, to convoy the trade to the Baltic. On the return voyage they fell in on 20 October with a squadron of five French ships, four of them of fifty guns, commanded by the Chevalier de Saint-Pol, and having five privateers in company. The privateers captured the merchant ships, thus permitting the ships of war to devote themselves to the three ships of the escort. After a stubborn fight they took them all three, Foljambe and Martin being slain and Cony dangerously wounded. On the part of the French, De Cayeux, one of the captains, lost an arm, and Saint-Pol was killed—a loss which, in the opinion of the French, was poorly compensated for by the successful issue of the combat (Guérin, Histoire Maritime, ii. 242). ‘I would,’ the French king is reported to have said, ‘that the English ships were safe at home if I had but Saint-Pol back again.’ Cony, while still a prisoner in France, was tried by court-martial for the loss of his ship, and very honourably acquitted on 20 January 1705–6; and the court further reporting that he had particularly distinguished himself in the action, and had received several dangerous wounds, recommended him to his royal highness's favour. He was accordingly shortly afterwards appointed to the Romney of 50 guns, and commanded her in the Mediterranean under the orders of Sir Cloudesley Shovell. He seems to have been successfully engaged in cruising against the enemy's privateers in the Straits, and was returning home the following year, when, in company with the Association, the Romney and all in her were lost among the Scilly Islands on 22 October 1707.
# Wendt Beach Park

Wendt Beach Park is a 178-acre (72-hectare) waterfront park in Erie County, in the U.S. state of New York. The park is located along the shore of Lake Erie in the Town of Evans. It is operated by the Erie County Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry. Access is free and it is open to the public year-round.

## History

Wendt Beach Park occupies the former summer home property of the Wendt family, who had named the parcel "The Ridgewood." A large mansion and several outbuildings were built on the property in the 1800s by Buffalo industrialist Henry W. Wendt, Jr. of the Buffalo Forge Company.

### Deterioration of Wendt Mansion

The Wendt Mansion, recognized as being in need of major renovations in 2003, has deteriorated greatly in recent years. It was the victim of vandalism in 2007, when thieves used a blowtorch to remove copper piping from the building. This caused major flooding in the mansion's basement, which went unnoticed for several days due to a non-functioning alarm system. In 2010, vandals once again targeted the house, smashing many of its windows. A 2012 study of the mansion sought to determine the costs of restoration, although at that time the prospect of demolition was mentioned as a possibility for the structure.

## Facilities

Although previously allowed, swimming was prohibited at Wendt Beach Park in the summer of 2014. County officials noted that they were focusing limited resources by staffing lifeguards at the nearby Bennett Beach Park. Swimming conditions at Wendt Beach Park were described as "terrible" in recent years due to rocky conditions.
The park remains open for activities such as hiking, picnicking, baseball, and soccer.

# Yemen Türküsü

Yemen Türküsü is a Turkish folk song (türkü means Turkish folk song) about Turkish soldiers who were sent to Yemen in World War I to fight a battle against Rebel Arabs for the Ottoman Empire. They went to Yemen from Mamuret-ul-Aziz (El-aziz), a city in the east of Turkey. They all died in Yemen. So after that tragedy, the Yemen song was written by the local people of Mamuret-ul-Aziz (El-aziz) for the memories of soldiers' death in Yemen.

## Lyrics

# Uweza Foundation

The Uweza Foundation is a non-profit organization which works to promote human development in the Kibera slum of Nairobi, Kenya. It was founded in 2008 and is registered in the United States as a 501(c)3 organization. It is led by actress Rooney Mara.
Uweza is named after a Swahili word meaning opportunity, ability, and power.

## History

Uweza Foundation was founded in 2008. Its founder had moved to the country and married a local man after visiting Kenya to volunteer at a children's home in the Kibera slum.
In January 2011, Uweza Foundation merged with Faces of Kibera, a charity founded by Rooney Mara. Faces of Kibera aimed to provide housing, food, and medical care for orphans by building an orphanage in the region. The charity received fundraising support from NFL teams under Mara's leadership. Mara had started the charity after she visited the area as a volunteer in 2006 and was moved to help the orphans, many of whom had lost parents to AIDS and HIV-related illnesses. She started her charity out of frustration with the growing number of nonprofits that she viewed as just business opportunities: "The people who need help aren't really getting it. So I started my own", she told Interview magazine in 2009. Uweza Foundation continues to be overseen by Mara who serves as president of its board of directors.
In 2022, Uweza Foundation collaborated with ROAM Gallery and Xtina Parks to showcase work by Kibera artists at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Massachusetts.

## Areas of focus

The foundation works to empower residents of Kibera, particularly women and youth, through educational programs with a particular focus on supporting the development of young artists and helping artists make a living by marketing their art. The foundation has focused to empower women and girls by tackling issues facing adolescent girls in Kibara. It also hosts a compound allowing students without electricity in their homes study outside of school and sponsors a youth soccer team.

## Uweza Gallery

As one of its activities, the foundation founded the Uweza Gallery in Olympic Estate, Kibera in 2012. The gallery features art by local talent and also incubates local emerging talents. It has allowed young artists to fund their education through art. The gallery was originally located in an old shipping container but moved in January 2019.

## Coronavirus pandemic

During the Coronavirus pandemic, Uweza cooperated with private-sector partners to form an initiative to promote sanitation in informal settlements such as Kibera and provide free artistic masks to residents designed by a local artist. The foundation also worked with artists from the Uweza Gallery to create informational murals to create awareness during the pandemic.

# Uxbridge railway station (Ontario)

Uxbridge railway station in Uxbridge, Ontario, last served as a railway museum and a station of the now defunct York–Durham Heritage Railway. The station building, constructed by the Grand Trunk Railway in 1904, is owned and maintained by the Township of Uxbridge and has been designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.

## History

The Toronto and Nipissing Railway originally built a 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge line in the late 1860s, with service between Toronto and Uxbridge commencing in 1871. In late 1880 the line was converted to standard gauge and soon after this, due to financial reasons, was sold to the Midland Railway in 1881. The line was then firstly leased to the Grand Trunk Railway in 1884; eventually purchased by them in 1894; and finally transferred to Canadian National Railways in 1923.
Grand Trunk constructed the current station building in 1904, with its distinctive "witch's hat" roof, to replace the more basic shed structure that had previously been used.
The Township of Uxbridge bought the railway station from CN in 1988 for $1.00.
Due to the poor state of repair of the roof and the cost of renewal, closure of the heritage train station was discussed by the Township of Uxbridge Council in 2013. It was noted that the structure is important to the community and it is the only train station in Ontario with a witch's hat style roof that is being maintained in relatively good shape.
The remaining sections of track continues briefly and rest removed with former line becoming part of Trans Canada Trail.

## GO Transit

North of Uxbridge to Lindsay the line was abandoned in the early 1990s and the York–Durham Heritage Railway reopened the line to the south between Uxbridge and Stouffville in 1996. That southerly section of trackbed was purchased by GO Transit to prevent abandonment and disposal, because Metrolinx has long term plans to expand service on the Stouffville line to Uxbridge.
Current GO Transit service consists of a connecting bus from the end of the line at Old Elm and from Union Station Bus Terminal at off peak times when there is no train service.
# Uno Harva

Uno Nils Oskar Harva (known as Uno Holmberg until 1927; 30 August 1882, Ypäjä – 13 August 1949, Turku) was a Finnish religious scholar, who founded the discipline in Finland together with Rafael Karsten. A major figure in North Eurasian ethnology and study of religion, Harva is best known for his body of work on Finno-Ugric and Altaic religions. He is considered to be one of the foremost 20th-century European interpreters of shamanism.

## Career

Harva conducted fieldwork among the Siberian Ket and Evenk peoples in the 1910s, researching their mythology and religion. He also spent the summers of 1911–1913 with the Finno-Ugric Votyaks (Udmurts) in the Urals and the Cheremis (the Mari people) on the Volga. He is considered to be an important anthropologist of Siberia.
His study Der Baum des Lebens (The Tree of Life; 1922–23) was the first to show that the world tree from Norse mythology had many parallels in Europe and Asia.
Harva wrote the fourth volume of the book series The Mythology of All Races in 1927. It contains a classic general description of Subarctic shamanism.

# V0-morph

A V0-morph is an organism whose surface area remains constant as the organism grows.
The reason why the concept is important in the context of the Dynamic Energy Budget theory is that food (substrate) uptake is proportional to surface area, and maintenance to volume. The surface area that is of importance is that part that is involved in substrate uptake.
Biofilms on a flat solid substrate are examples of V0-morphs; they grow in thickness, but not in surface area that is involved in nutrient exchange. Other examples are dinophyta and diatoms that have a cell wall that does not change during the cell cycle. During cell-growth, when the amounts of protein and carbohydrates increase, the vacuole shrinks. The outer membrane that is involved in nutrient uptake remains constant. At cell division, the daughter cells rapidly take up water, complete a new cell wall and the cycle repeats.
Rods (bacteria that have the shape of a rod and grow in length, but not in diameter) are a static mixture between a V0- and a V1-morph, where the caps act as V0-morphs and the cylinder between the caps as V1-morph.The mixture is called static because the weight coefficients of the contributions of the V0- and V1-morph terms in the shape correction function are constant during growth.
Crusts, such as lichens that grow on a solid substrate, are a dynamic mixture between a V0- and a V1-morph, where the inner part acts as V0-morph, and the outer annulus as V1-morph.The mixture is called dynamic because the weight coefficients of the contributions of the V0- and V1-morph terms in the shape correction function change during growth. The Dynamic Energy Budget theory explains why the diameter of crusts grow linearly in time at constant substrate availability.
