## Family

Musial was born and raised in Yonkers, New York. His parents were Polish immigrants.

## Career

Having studied at the Sorbonne University of Paris in 1929, Musial started out his cartooning career as assistant to Billy DeBeck, creator of Barney Google, in the early 1930s. He subsequently worked as ghost artist on a number of comic strips from King Features, apparently stepping in to assist various creators whenever necessary. He eventually became art director of the comic book division by the syndicate.
In 1956, following the death of cartoonist Doc Winner, King Features sought a replacement writer and artist on The Katzenjammer Kids. Musial took the job, and spent his remaining 21 years drawing the popular weekly strip. He was the fourth artist to work on the strip, following Rudolph Dirks, Harold Knerr and Winner.

## Death

Musial died at the North Shore Hospital in Manhasset, New York, at the age of 72. Following his death, cartoonist Mike Senich took over The Katzenjammer Kids.

# Piazza Cesare Beccaria

Piazza Cesare Beccaria is a square of Florence located on the viali di Circonvallazione, the boulevard along the route of the former walls of Florence.

## History

The piazza was designed by the architect Giuseppe Poggi when Florence became briefly the Capital of Kingdom of Italy; in 1876, it was named in honour of Cesare Bonesana marchese di Beccaria.
This place originally was called Piazza alla Croce due to the Porta alla Croce, still present, the former gate of the medieval walls. A number of concave neoclassical palaces were built around the square.
On the square, at the bifurcation of the Giovine Italia and Amendola boulevards, is the building that hosts the State Archives, where until 1977 was the Casa della Gioventù Italiana del Littorio of Florence.
In 2003 - 2004, a three-story underground parking garage was built under the square .

# Lightbot

Lightbot is an educational video game for learning software programming concepts, developed by Danny Yaroslavski. Lightbot has been played 7 million times, and is highly rated on iTunes and Google Play store. Lightbot is available as an online Flash game, and an application for Android and iOS mobile phones. Lightbot has been built with Flash and OpenFL.
The goal of Lightbot is to command a little robot to navigate a maze and turn on lights. Players arrange symbols on the screen to command the robot to walk, turn, jump, switch on a light and so on. The maze and the list of symbols become more complicated as the lessons progress. While using such commands, players learn programming concepts like loops, procedures and more, without entering code in any programming language.

# Phosgene oxime

Phosgene oxime, or CX, is an organic compound with the formula Cl$_2$C=N−OH. It is a potent chemical weapon, specifically a nettle agent. The compound itself is a colorless solid, but impure samples are often yellowish liquids. It has a strong, disagreeable and irritating odor. It is used as a reagent in organic chemistry.

## Preparation and reactions

Phosgene oxime can be prepared by reduction of chloropicrin using a combination of tin metal and hydrochloric acid as the source of the active hydrogen reducing agent:
    Cl$_3$CNO$_2$ + 4 [H] → Cl$_2$C=N−OH + HCl + H$_2$O
The observation of a transient violet color in the reaction suggests intermediate formation of trichloronitrosomethane (Cl$_3$CNO). Early preparations, using stannous chloride as the reductant, also started with chloropicrin.
The compound is electrophilic and thus sensitive to nucleophiles, including bases, which destroy it:
    Cl$_2$CNOH + 2 NaOH → CO$_2$ + NH$_2$OH + 2 NaCl + H$_2$O
Phosgene oxime has been used to prepare heterocycles that contain N-O bonds, such as isoxazoles.
Dehydrohalogenation upon contact with mercuric oxide generates chlorine fulminate, a reactive nitrile oxide:
    Cl$_2$CNOH → Cl−C≡N$^+$−O$^−$ + HCl

## Toxicity

Phosgene oxime is classified as a vesicant even though it does not produce blisters. It is toxic by inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. The effects of the poisoning occur almost immediately. No antidote for phosgene oxime poisoning is known. Generally, any treatment is supportive. Typical physical symptoms of CX exposure are as follows:
* Skin: Blanching surrounded by an erythematous ring can be observed within 30 seconds of exposure. A wheal develops on exposed skin within 30 minutes. The original blanched area acquires a brown pigmentation by 24 hours. An eschar forms in the pigmented area by 1 week and sloughs after approximately 3 weeks. Initially, the effects of CX can easily be misidentified as mustard gas exposure. However, the onset of skin irritation resulting from CX exposure is a great deal faster than mustard gas, which typically takes several hours or more to cause skin irritation.
* Eyes: Eye examination typically demonstrates conjunctivitis, lacrimation, lid edema, and blepharospasm after even minute exposures. More severe exposures can result in keratitis, iritis, corneal perforation, and blindness.
* Respiratory: Irritation of the mucous membranes may be observed on examination of the oropharynx and nose. Evidence of pulmonary edema, including rales and wheezes, may be noted on auscultation. Pulmonary thromboses are prominent features of severe CX exposure.
* Gastrointestinal: Some animal data suggest that CX may cause hemorrhagic inflammatory changes in the GI tract.

# St Saviour's Hospital

St Saviour's Hospital, formerly called the Jersey Lunatic Asylum, opened in July 1868.
The States Assembly were extremely reluctant to spend money on a purpose-built lunatic asylum, and Sir Robert Percy Douglas Lieutenant Governor of Jersey was forced to intervene. The architect was Thomas Gallichan. Its name was changed to the Jersey Mental Hospital in 1952 and then again to St Saviour's Hospital in 1963.
The Criminal Justice (Insane Persons) (Jersey) Law of 1964 specifically authorises detention in St. Saviour’s Hospital.
A new mental health clinic for older people was opened on the site in 2014, with two wards with a total of 28 acute assessment and treatment beds.
There have been several proposals to sell the site, which is said to be worth as much as £15 million.

# Lightbox (JavaScript)

Lightbox is a JavaScript library that displays images and videos by filling the screen, and dimming out the rest of the web page.
The original JavaScript library was written by Lokesh Dhakar. The term Lightbox may also refer to other similar JavaScript libraries. The technique gained widespread popularity due to its simple and elegant style.
The original Lightbox library used two JavaScript libraries, Prototype Javascript Framework and script.aculo.us, for its animations and positioning. In April 2012, the plugin was rewritten for jQuery. The open-source nature of Lightbox encouraged developers to modify and fork the code, resulting in plugins such as Colorbox, Magnific Popup, Slimbox or Thickbox.
Lightbox scripts are dependent upon a browser's JavaScript support. Browsers that do not load the script for whatever reason can instead simply load the image as a separate page load, losing the Lightbox effect but still retaining the ability to display the image.
