# David Whitaker (artist)

David Whitaker (8 June 1938 – 15 March 2007) was a British abstract artist and art teacher.

## Early life and education

Whitaker was born in Blackpool, Lancashire. He studied at the Blackpool and the Fylde School of Art for 6 years from the age of 13 and moved to London in the late 1950s, where he began working as a graphic designer. He did not enjoy the work, and left to become a milkman instead. The early hours suited him: his job finished early, and he could spend the rest of the day painting. He married fellow artist Frances Wood in 1959, and studied as a mature student at the Royal Academy Schools from 1962 to 1966.

## Later career and recognition

Whitaker was one of the first artists to have a sholo show at the Serpentine Gallery when it opened in London in 1970. He won the Mark Rothko Memorial Award in 1973 at the recommendation of Bridget Riley, which allowed him to work in the U.S. for several months. He then taught at the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford, helping to oversee the school's merger with the University of Oxford, before becoming a lecturer at the Wimbledon College of Art in 1984, retiring in 2001. He was elected as a member of the London Group in 1989, of the Colour Group (Great Britain) in 1996, and became a Fellow of the Royal Watercolour Society in 2004. He won a Hunting Art Prize in 1996, and won the Singer Friedlander National Watercolour Competition in 2001. Beginning in the 1960s, Whitaker held many one-man exhibitions over more than 40 years as a practitioner. Two retrospectives of his work were shown at the Rebecca Hossack Gallery, the second in the summer of 2013.

## Works

Whitaker's works in oils and watercolour are characterised by their use of straight lines of seven colours: two shades of yellow, cadmium red, magenta, viridian, and two shades of blue. His paintings were created in layers, using tape to create straight-sided stencils. The final effect, only revealed when the tape was removed, produced a shimmering graduation of colour from stripe to stripe over the canvass.

## Personal life

Outside art, Whitaker was a keen marathon runner with Kingston Stragglers, and played cricket in the Lancashire League. He died in 2007 in Kingston upon Thames and was survived by his wife, Frances, and their three sons.

# The Donut Hole

The Donut Hole is a bakery and landmark in La Puente, California. An example of programmatic architecture, the building is shaped like two giant donuts through which customers drive to place their orders. The bakery is one of the most photographed donut shops in the United States.

## History

The first Donut Hole opened in 1963, in La Puente, California. According to one source, the shop in La Puente was the second to open, in 1968, and was followed by three others. However, various sources disagree and date the building's original construction from 1947 to 1958 to 1962. What is certain is that the donut chain went out of business in 1979. The LaPuente donut hole was purchased by the Lopez family in 1979 and remained in the family until 2003. The Covina branch was completely remodeled and the others were demolished, and only the La Puente location remains today as a working bakery.
It is a local tradition for newlyweds to drive through the donuts; some cite good luck as the reason, while others credit the sexual symbolism. The building has been struck by cars several times in its history, most recently in 2004 when an out-of-control car crashed through one of the donut facades.

## Pop Culture

The building was featured in the movie Moving Violations where Chief Fromm's car was bashed.
It is shown in the opening scenes of the 1987 film Dragnet.
The building is also shown in a music video for the song "On an Axis" by American music producer Oneohtrix Point Never.

# Jacopo Riguccio Galluzzi

Jacopo Riguccio Galluzzi (25 April 1739 – 24 September 1801) was an Italian writer and historian, mainly of the Medici dynasty and era in Florence.

## Biography

He was born in Volterra to a prominent family. During 1757–1762, he studied Civil and Canon law at the University of Pisa. He then moved to Florence to work under the jurist Pompeo Neri. He obtained a salaried position in the State department of the Grand Duchy, and in 1768 was appointed professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Florence. In 1769, Riguccio, along with Carlo Bonsi and Ferdinando Fossi, was appointed by Grand-Duke Leopold with the gargantuan task of reorganizing the archives of the Secretary of State of Tuscany. He continued into the 1790s with various government posts. He wrote a history of the House of Medici, including of the last of grand-duke of the family, Gian Gastone.

# Myrmecia pyriformis

Myrmecia pyriformis, also known as the bull ant or inch ant, is an Australian ant. Myrmecia pyriformis belongs to the genus Myrmecia. It is abundant in many major cities of Australia, but mostly spotted in the eastern states. The species is of a similar appearance to the Myrmecia forficata.
Sizes of the Myrmecia pyriformis range around 14–23 millimetres (0.55–0.91 inches) long. Female workers can grow as large as 26 millimetres (1.0 inch) while males only grow to 18–20 millimetres (0.71–0.79 inches) long. Mandibles and most other features are dark red. Thoraxes are sometimes blackish-brown.
Myrmecia pryformis is known to survive without a queen. While some species of Myrmecia possess the gamergates, the female workers of Myrmecia pyriformis are also able to reproduce. A colony of the genus was collected in 1998 without a queen, but the colony continued producing workers for the next three years.
Guinness World Records listed Myrmecia pyriformis as the world's most dangerous ant.

## Taxonomy

Myrmecia pyriformis was first described by British entomologist Frederick Smith in his 1858 publication Catalogue of hymenopterous insects in the collection of the British Museum part VI, based on a syntype worker, queen and male collected from Melbourne and the Hunter River. The specimens are currently housed in Natural History Museum in London. Smith notes that M. pyriformis is very similar in appearance to M. forficata, though he comments all sexes are larger, the male is strikingly distinct and the head is more square shaped and not narrowed from the back end. Smith also described M. sanguinea from Tasmania in the same publication he described M. pyriformis, now treated as a junior synonym. Prior to this, however, M. sanguinea was thought to be a synonym of M. vindex. Due to its similar appearance to M. forficata, Auguste Forel believed M. pyriformis was a subspecies, rather than a full species. M. pyriformis was never reassigned as a subspecies; instead, it is still regarded as a full species in the genus Myrmecia.
In 1911, Carlo Emery established seven species groups, placing M. pyriformis in the M. forficata species group. This placement was long accepted until a 1991 review of the species groups was published and moved the species to the M. cephalotes species group instead. This placement, however, was short lived and the ant was placed in the M. gulosa species group one month after it was placed in the M. cephalotes species group. M. pyriformis is commonly known as the black bull-ant, brown bulldog ant or the inch ant, which references the colour and notably large size of the ant.

## Description

Myrmecia pyriformis is similar to M. forficata, but there are several characteristics that can distinguish the two species from each other. M. pyriformis is typically larger, the colour is darker and the head and alitrunk (a segment of the body where the wings are attached) are either dark reddish-brown or blackish-brown. The mandibles are broader, the clypeus is covered in hair and the postpetiole bears very short hair that are either greyish or brown.

Davidson served for terms as president of the International Association of Music Libraries, and the Music Library Association (MLA). In 1998 she was the recipient of the MLA Citation in Recognition of Distinguished Service to Music Librarianship.
# 71-415

71-415 is the first four-axle Uraltransmash tram on slewing trolleys with full low-level floor. A new chassis trolley with a two-stage spring suspension has been developed for this model. More than 70% of materials and components used in the tram are domestically manufactured. That tram presented at the INNOPROM-2018 exhibition.
The tram car received a certificate of conformity (issued by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation) in December 2018 and accepted for serial production.
Currently, the 3 cars are in service in Nizhny Tagil while two other demonstrators have been transferred back to the factory.

## Design

The vehicle uses a new bogie design with a two-stage spring suspension. This allows for the creation of a wide aisle, easing the movement of passengers within the cabin. The exterior has been designed in a modular way, making replacement of body parts in depots easier due to it being a removable element.

## Related developments
### 71-415R

The 71-415R is a variant of the tram car designed with a retro exterior and interior. The dimensions are the same but they feature more seats for less standing space. So far, one vehicle has been produced and is in service in Chelyabinsk.

### 71-418

The 71-418 is a fully low floor, 3 section articulated tram. The largest similarity to the 71-415 is that the bogies on these vehicles are the same.

# Xenopus boumbaensis

Xenopus boumbaensis, the Mawa clawed frog, is a predominantly to fully aquatic species of frog in the family Pipidae, known from a few localities in central and southern Cameroon, the northwestern Republic of the Congo and the extreme southwest of the Central African Republic. The species likely occurs more widely throughout the Central African forest region, but identification is difficult as it is a cryptic species, resembling Xenopus fraseri; however, X. boumbaensis is distinguishable by chromosome number (2n=72) and the species' male advertisement call, consisting of a single note.

## Etymology

The specific name boumbaensis refers to the type locality (Mawa) that is within the Boumba River drainage.

## Description

Adult males can grow to 37 mm (1.5 in) and females to 53 mm (2.1 in) in snout–vent length. All Xenopus are characterized by a streamlined and flattened body, a vocal organ specialized for underwater sound production, lateral-line organs, claws on the innermost three toes, and fully webbed toes. The coloration is green with numerous spots posteriorly and on the hind limbs. The venter can be immaculate white but is often heavily spotted.
Xenopus boumbaensis is an octoploid species (2n=72).

## Habitat and conservation

This species occurs in aquatic habitats in the lowland rainforest region at elevations of 337–550 m (1,106–1,804 ft) above sea level. It is typically found in forested habitats in slow-flowing forest streams and springs, but may also be found in swamps. Reproduction presumably involves free-living larvae. It is threatened by deforestation and habitat degradation as well as water pollution. It is known from a number of protected areas: Boumba Bek, Nki, and Lobeke National Parks in Cameroon, Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve in the Central African Republic, and the Odzala-Kokoua National Park in the Republic of Congo.
# Jane Anthony Eames

Jane Anthony Eames (January 21, 1816 – July 8, 1894) was an American travel writer.
Jane Anthony was born on January 21, 1816, in Wellington, Massachusetts (now part of the town of Dighton), the daughter of Hezekiah Anthony, a merchant in Providence, Rhode Island, and Sallie Bowers Anthony. She married Rev. James Henry Eames, an Episcopal clergyman who served as rector of St. Stephen's Church in Providence and St. Paul's Church in Concord, New Hampshire. He was also responsible for establishing Episcopal mission churches in New Hampshire's White Mountains region, such as at Littleton and Lancaster.
She wrote a number of travel books about her trips abroad with her husband, including A Budget of Letters (1847), about their trip to Europe, Another Budget (1855), about Egypt and the Middle East, The Budget Closed (1855), and Letters from Bermuda (1875). Eames' "budget" is an obsolete use of the word to refer to a small bag, and is not used in a financial sense.
Eames also wrote books for children and articles for The Providence Journal and the Concord Monitor. Her articles on visiting the White Mountains of New Hampshire, published in The Providence Journal from the late 1850s, were responsible for encouraging tourism in the region.
Eames collected minerals and in 1872 she gave Concord High School a large collection of minerals from around the world.
Jane Anthony Eames died on July 8, 1894, in Concord, New Hampshire.
