# Sherborne Sensors

Sherborne Sensors is a designer and manufacturer of precision inclinometers, accelerometers and load cells. Technologies utilized include mechanical servo, solid state and strain gauge. These precision measurement tools are available as both off-the-shelf and bespoke for use in military, aerospace, civil and industrial engineering applications.
Sherborne Sensors is based in ‘transducer valley’ in Hampshire, UK, and supplies its products to over 50 countries across the world.
Many of the inertial products currently offered have evolved from the Schaevitz brand that innovated sensor design during the 1940s and 1950s. The current LSOC/LSOP range of Linear Servo Inclinometers originate from the genuine Schaevitz units. The Force Transducers have their roots with the Maywood brand founded in the 1970s.

## History

Sherborne Sensors began life in 1945 as Schaevitz Engineering, a New Jersey–based manufacturer of LVDTs and other precision sensors. The business operated solely in the United States until an association formed with Electro-Mechanisms (EM) in 1963. This allowed their products to be distributed in the UK and also to be manufactured under licence.
Prompted by the success overseas, Schaevitz Engineering acquired the majority shareholding in EM and began manufacturing a UK range of inertial products in 1974.
The Schaevitz name traded until 1986 when the company was acquired by Lucas who changed the name of the business to Lucas Control Systems.
In 1997 the company became Lucas Varty [sic] and in 1999 was acquired by TRW. Throughout all of this time the Schaevitz brand remained strong and at the cutting edge of sensors technologies.
This business model continued until August 2000 when the Schaevitz Sensors and Components division of TRW was acquired by Measurement Specialities Inc (MSI). In 2002 the Measurement Specialties UK group was put into financial receivership and its assets sold. A group of former Schaevitz employees purchased the Inertial Products Division from MSI and formed the Sherborne Sensors Limited Company in July 2002 thus continuing the design, development and manufacture of precision sensors.
In 2007, Sherborne Sensors extended its product range beyond inertial sensors by obtaining the former Maywood Instruments force transducer product lines and intellectual property from FTSA Holdings Limited.
Following this expansion, Sherborne Sensors has extended its operation globally, establishing a sales and stocking location in North American in 2009.
2012 NOVA METRIX LLC, Woburn MA, acquires Sherborne Sensors Ltd.

# Battle off Halifax (1780)

The Battle off Halifax took place on 10 July 1780 during the American Revolutionary War. The British privateer Resolution fought the American privateer Viper and heavy casualties were suffered by both sides. The battle was "one of the bloodiest battles in the history of privateering.... a loss of 51 lives in a single battle was virtually unheard of."

## Background

During the American Revolution, Americans regularly attacked Nova Scotia by land and sea. American privateers devastated the maritime economy by raiding many of the coastal communities, such as the numerous raids on Liverpool and on Annapolis Royal. A few months before the Battle of Halifax, in December 1779 the schooner Hope wrecked near the Sambro Island Light on the Three Sisters Rocks. Captain Henry Baldwin and six other crew were killed. Weeks later, 170 British sailors were lost when two vessels - North and St Helena - were wrecked in a storm when entering Halifax harbour.

## Battle

Just off Sambro Island Light, the American privateer Viper (22 guns, 130 men), under the command of William Williams took the British brig Resolution (16 guns) under the command of Captain Thomas Ross of Halifax. In the "hot engagement" for 90 minutes, the British had killed 8 and 10 wounded, while the American killed and wounded totalled 33 men. Both vessels were much disabled and the British surrendered.

## Aftermath

American privateers remained a threat to Nova Scotian ports for the rest of the war. For example, after a failed attempt to raid Chester, Nova Scotia, American privateers struck again in the Raid on Lunenburg in 1782.
# Nipponites

Nipponites is an extinct genus of heteromorph ammonites. The shells of Nipponites (primarily N. mirabilis) form "ox-bow" bends, resulting in some of the most bizarre shapes seen among ammonites.
The ecology of Nipponites, as with many other nostoceratids, is subject to much speculation.

## Distribution

Fossils of most species are found primarily in Upper Cretaceous strata of Japan. N. mirabilis is found in Coniacian-aged strata of Japan and possibly Turonian-aged strata in Madagascar. N. bacchus is found in Upper Cretaceous Hokkaido. Two species are found exclusively outside Japan, N. sachalinensis, which is found in Upper Cretaceous strata of Sakhalin island, and Kamchatka peninsula, and N. occidentalis, which is known from two shells found in the Turonian-aged Hornbrook Formation of Southern Oregon.

## In popular culture

A Japanese academic institution Paleontological Society of Japan (ja:日本古生物学会) has Nipponites as its symbol. That organization established October 15 as "Fossil Day", according to the date of first description of N. mirabilis and "International Fossil Day" by International Palaeontological Association (not to confuse with National Fossil Day).

# Halicmetus

Halicmetus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Ogcocephalidae, the deep sea batfishes. The fishes in this genus are widely distributed in the Indian and Western Pacific Oceans.

## Taxonomy

Halicmetus was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1891 by the British physician and zoologist Alfred William Alcock when he described Halicmetus ruber. The type locality of H. ruber was given as the Andaman Sea at 11°31'40"N, 92°46'06"E at a depth of 188–220 fathoms (1,128–1,320 ft; 344–402 m), the Investigator station 115. This genus is classified within the "Indo-Pacific clade" of the family Ogcocephalidae. The family Ogcocephalidae is classified in the monotypic suborder Ogcocephaloidei within the order Lophiiformes, the anglerfishes in the 5th edition of Fishes of the World.

## Species

Halicmetus contains eight recognised species:
* Halicmetus drypus Ho & Last, 2018 (Pink shortnose seabat)
* Halicmetus granulosus Ho, 2022
* Halicmetus niger Ho, Endo & Sakamaki, 2008 (Black shortnose seabat)
* Halicmetus marmoratus Weber, 1913 (Marbled shortnose seabat)
* Halicmetus odysseus Prokofiev, 2020
* Halicmetus reticulatus H. M. Smith & Radcliffe, 1912 (Marbled seabat or reticulated shortnose seabat)
* Halicmetus ruber Alcock, 1891 (Red shortnose seabat)
* Halicmetus westraliensis Ho & Last, 2018 (West Australian shortnose seabat)

## Characteristics

Halicmetus seabats are characterised by their very flattened heads with the front edge of the head being either broadly rounded or squared off. The snout extends out over the small mouth and the front edge of the disc of the head. The dorsal fin is either tiny or is not present. The whole body is covered in scales developed into small bucklers and small tubercles. The subopercular buckler is moderately well developed and has some small terminal spinules. The second and third gill arches have gill filaments; the fourth does not. Gill rakers are found on the first to third gill arches. The esca, or lure, is bulbous and triangular with a fringe on its lower edge and typically has a pair of cirri on its upper surface The teeth on the vomer and palate are arranged in three neighbouring quadrangular patches and those on the tongue in two joined and elongated patches. These fishes are no longer than 9 cm (3.5 in) in length.

## Distribution and habitat

Halicmetus seabats are found in the Indian and Western Pacific Oceans, as far west as northern Madagascar, north to Japan, south to Australia and east as far as New Caledonia. These are bathydemersal fishes found at depths between 280 and 1,000 m (920 and 3,280 ft).
# Leccinum albostipitatum

Leccinum albostipitatum is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. This fungus is commonly found in Europe, where it grows in association with poplar. It was described as new to science in 2005.
# The Emergence of the American University

The Emergence of the American University is a non-fiction book in the history of education by Laurence Veysey, published in the 1965 by University of Chicago Press. It "trac[es] the development of the modern American university during its formative years from 1865 to 1910". It is based on and shortened from Veysey's doctoral dissertation.
Veysey explained how higher education was revolutionized after 1865 by the creation of the modern university. Stressing Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Clark, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Michigan, Chicago, Stanford and Berkeley, Veysey showed how the newly created and newly reformed schools were influenced by German approaches that taught new findings based on experimental and empirical research techniques. The new model rejected the British model that reiterated over and over the Latin and Greek classics. The new university introduced new teaching methods such as lectures and seminars. It made graduate school training, culminating in the PhD, the mark of the true scholar. The doctoral dissertation required students to create new knowledge, preferably through experimental methods or research in original sources. The new land grant state universities generally followed the new model and deemphasized classical Latin and Greek while adding more science, technology, industrial engineering and agricultural science.
Deemed "a major contribution to the history and sociology of American education" when first published, the book continues to garner attention decades after its publication. Kevin Carey says "Fifty years later, the ideas Veysey developed in two years of white-hot scholarly intensity continue to shape our basic understanding of academe."
Christopher Loss called it the "founding text" "for historians interested in tracking the organization, production, and consumption of knowledge in the United States", introducing a 2005 special issue. This 2005 special issue of History of Education Quarterly contains an introduction and 6 essays reflecting on the book, along with an obituary of Veysey, who died in 2004.
# Hüsamzade Abdurrahman Efendi

Hüsamzade Abdurrahman Efendi, also known as Kocahüsamzade Abdurrahman Efendi or Tulumcuzade Abdurrahman Efendi, was an Ottoman scholar and calligrapher of the 17th century and was briefly Shaykh al-Islām.

## Early life and education

Abdurrahman was born in Istanbul in 1594–95. He was the son of Tulumcu Koca Hüsam Efendi, a qadi of Istanbul. After completing his madrasa education, he became an assistant (mülâzım) of Shaykh al-Islām Hocazâde Mehmed Efendi. Later, he studied under various scholars in Egypt, Jerusalem, and Medina. At some point, he became a master taliq calligrapher and archer.

## Career

When Abdurrahman returned to Anatolia, he worked as a teacher in various madrasas, such as Sahn-ı Semân, Ayasofya, and Süleymaniye. Between 1640 and 1645, he served as qadi in Aleppo, Damascus, and Istanbul. In 1649, he was appointed kazasker of Anatolia, but was dismissed the following year. In 1652, he was appointed kazasker of Rumelia, but was again dismissed soon after.
After the third dismissal of Ebûsaid Mehmed Efendi from the post of Shaykh al-Islām, Abdurrahman was appointed, in May 1655. During the Çınar Incident of 1656, Abdurrahman recommended against Sultan Mehmed IV's meeting with the rebels and so was dismissed from his post (or requested his own dismissal) in March 1656.
After dismissal, he requested and was given the position of qadi of Jerusalem. He also lived in Damascus for a while. Later, he was made qadi of Aintab and then qadi of Giza. He died in Egypt in September 1670.
