# Cubaris

Cubaris is a genus of woodlice in the family Armadillidae. There are more than 100 described species in the genus Cubaris.

## Behavior and reproduction

Cubaris species have, on average, lower reproduction rates and longer lifespans than other genera of isopod.
Members of the genus Cubaris are well known for their ability to conglobate, or roll up into a ball, along with other genera such as Armadillidium.

## Classification

Cubaris was coined in 1833, from the type species Cubaris murina. In 1935, the genus Nesodillo was considered a synonym of Cubaris. Only in 1998 was Nesodillo re-established as a separate genus. The two genera still cause confusion when it comes to identification and classification, and there are likely species in each genus that belong in the other. Cubaris pronyensis, Cubaris plastica, Cubaris incisa, and Cubaris pacifica are a few examples of Cubaris species which were placed in Nesodillo at some point.
In recent years Cubaris has become a wastebasket taxon, resulting in many species being placed in the genus even when they do not necessarily fit the original description. This has resulted in Cubaris becoming a vague genus that often strays from its correct description. Researchers have recommended a comprehensive revision of the genus.

## As pets

Isopods considered part of the Cubaris genus are often in fairly high demand within the pet isopod hobby. Many of the Cubaris species within the hobby are either undescribed or unidentified, and are referred to as "Cubaris sp.", though some have ended up being moved to other genera. One example of this is Nesodillo arcangelii, which was incorrectly identified as Cubaris sp.
The hobby has expanded quickly in recent years, owed largely to Cubaris sp. "Rubber Ducky". This undescribed Cubaris species garnered significant online attention, due to its face resembling that of a rubber ducky. A number of isopod keepers credit this species for getting them into the hobby.

# August Blanche

August Blanche (17 September 1811 – 30 November 1868) was a Swedish journalist, novelist, and politician.

## Life

August Theodor Blanche was born in Stockholm, Sweden, the illegitimate child of a servant girl and a priest. His mother eventually married Johan Jacob Blanck, a blacksmith, and the boy took his stepfather's name. A brilliant student, in 1838 he obtained a law degree and for a time, worked as a civil servant until taking up journalism. In the early 1840s, he began writing plays for the theater as well as translating plays from foreign languages into Swedish. By the middle of the decade, he was writing novels and short stories of intrigue, all of which met with a great deal of success.
An activist, in 1859 Blanche was elected to the Riksdag of the Estates where he served until 1866. He died of unknown causes two years later, on 30 November 1868, on the way to participate in the unveiling of the statue of King Charles the XII, which he had lobbied for.

# Eric Stokes (composer)

Eric Stokes (1930 – March 16, 1999) was a composer, whose work spanned an eclectic range of influences and styles.
Stokes was born in Haddon Heights, New Jersey, about ten miles southeast of Philadelphia. His mother was a fine vocalist and the early artistic influence in his life. Stokes studied piano at an early age and began composing on his own in high school. He held degrees in music from Lawrence College in Appleton, Wisconsin, the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, and the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, where he taught for 29 years.
While at the University of Minnesota, Stokes founded the school’s electronic music laboratory and championed the development of contemporary music by starting the First Minnesota Moving and Storage Warehouse Band. His early compositions were tonal and lyrical while his later compositions were more heavily influenced by Charles Ives, John Cage, and Henry Brant and used American music idioms and unconventional sounds in juxtaposed styles.
Stokes is best remembered for his seven operas, many of which premiered at the Minnesota Opera. His first opera, Horspfal, is a collage of voices, instruments, and film requiring up to five different conductors. Stokes’ Rock & Roll (Phonic Paradigm I) calls for rocks to be hit together and rolled across the stage. His music was a reflection of his life and personality: eccentric and humorous with an ability to blur the lines between fantasy and reality.

## Death

He died in an auto accident on Interstate Hwy. 94 at 11th St. in downtown Minneapolis. According to police reports, Stokes was driving west on 94 from Saint Paul when he collided with a highway repair vehicle parked on the shoulder.

She continued her studies with Howard Hanson at Eastman School of Music, Healey Willan at the Toronto Conservatory, and Ernst Krenek at the University of Michigan. After completing her studies, she took a position in 1927 teaching music at Eastern Michigan University, then Michigan State Normal College, where she worked until retiring in 1968. She was awarded an honorary doctorate from the school in 1971.

## Works

James composed works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, solo instrument and voice. She also composed an opera and a number of song. Selected works include:
* Three Symphonic Fragments (1931) for orchestra

# Sylvanshine

Sylvanshine is an optical phenomenon in which dew-covered foliage with wax-coated leaves retroreflect beams of light, as from a vehicle's headlights. This effect sometimes makes trees appear snow-covered at night during summer. The phenomenon was named and explained in 1994 by Alistair Fraser of Pennsylvania State University, an expert in meteorological optics. According to his explanation, the epicuticular wax on the leaves causes water to form beads, which in effect, become lenses. These lenses focus the light to a spot on the leaf surface, and the image of this spot is directed as rays in the opposite direction.
# Wayne Siegel

Wayne Siegel (b. Los Angeles, California, 14 February 1953) is an American composer living in Malling, Denmark.
From 1971 to 1974 Siegel studied composition and philosophy at the University of California, Santa Barbara. After three years there he decided to complete his Bachelor of Arts degree in Århus, Denmark, where he studied with the noted Danish composer Per Nørgård. Remaining in Århus, in 1977 he received his degree in composition from the Royal Academy of Music in Århus.
In 1978 Siegel was awarded a three-year grant in composition from the Danish Art Council, working as a free-lance composer in the years that followed. After two years as administrative director of the West Jutland Symphony Orchestra and its affiliated chamber ensemble, the Esbjerg Ensemble, he was in 1986 appointed director of the newly founded national electronic music center, DIEM (The Danish Institute of Electroacoustic Music) in Århus. In 1994 he chaired the 19th International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) in Århus. From 1996 to 1998 he served as chairman of the two music committees of the Danish State Arts Foundation. In 2003 DIEM became part of the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, and Siegel was appointed professor of electronic music.
Siegel's works show the influence of minimalism (particularly the pulse-based work of Steve Reich), as well as folk, blues, and rock music.
His works have been commissioned by the Kronos Quartet, Evelyn Glennie, Harry Sparnaay, Singcircle, and the Safri Duo.
# Awni Yusuf

Awni Yusuf was an Iraqi Kurdish politician and lawyer. He served as a judge at the Kirkuk Court of Cassation, and was appointed Minister of Public Works in Abd al-Karim Qasim's cabinet in mid-July 1959.

# Howard Swanson

Howard Swanson (August 18, 1907 – November 12, 1978) was an American composer. Swanson studied at the Cleveland Institute of Music and was then taught by Nadia Boulanger in Paris. He received fellowships, awards and prizes. His preference was for linear construction and lyrical works with subtle tonal centers. He was born in Atlanta, Georgia and died in New York City.
Particularly praised are the songs of Howard Swanson. William Flanagan, reviewing three songs of Swanson, said, "They are authentic and in the best tradition of the song-writing art--sensitive, intimate, and evocative." Virgil Thomson said, "Howard Swanson is a composer whose work singers (and pianists, too) should look into. It is refined, sophisticated of line and harmony in a way not at all common among American music writers. His songs have an acute elaboration of thought and an intensity for feeling that recall Fauré." Swanson's friendship with poet Langston Hughes and his subsequent setting of Hughes poetry gives insight not only to the music of the African-American community, but also gives an intimate view to the psyche of the poet. Swanson consulted the poet with regularity while setting his poetry. His compositions are considered by many to be the definitive interpretations of the poet's work. His individual song settings of the poems "Joy," "In Time of Silver Rain," "Night Song," "Pierrot," and "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" (performed by Helen Thigpen and David Allen in 1950) reflect his intimate acquaintance with the inner workings of Hughes poetry.
