# Mendis Wickramasinghe

L. J. Mendis Wickramasinghe is a Sri Lankan herpetologist, taxonomist, naturalist, and wildlife photographer. Inspired by a childhood passion on snakes and by the diversity of his motherland, he has spent over two decades experiencing the forests across Sri Lanka.

## Biography

Wickramasinghe was born in Kalutara, 6 May 1976, and educated in Tissa Central College. He was employed as an Ecologist at the Sri Lanka Program of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) for nearly seven years (2000-2007).
Mendis formed the Herpetological Foundation of Sri Lanka (HFS) in year 2007, to further pursue in independent research on the herpetofauna of Sri Lanka, and also provide a platform for young herpetologists to initiate research.

## Professional experience

With over 25 years of field research experience on the herpetofauna of Sri Lanka, his work has focused on taxonomic identification and biodiversity assessment of reptiles and amphibians in an effort to increase awareness on the importance of conserving these unique organisms and their habitats in Sri Lanka, as part of our natural heritage.
He has contributed his expertise towards national projects on identification of threatened species in Sri Lanka, in revising the Fauna and Flora Ordinance, and has facilitated the declaration of several protected areas in the country. He is the author of the book titled “Recognizing deadly venomous snakes from harmless snakes in Sri Lanka”.

## Discoveries

He is credited with the discovery of over thirty new species (geckos, skinks, snakes and amphibians), also re-discovering several species of amphibians believed to have been extinct.

## Photography

He began engaging in wildlife photography in a much later stage in his life while initially engaged in photography for scientific purposes, finally finding abode in the art of wildlife photography. Intrinsically motivated to capture the beauty led by an overwhelming passion to express the most artistically composed image in what he sees, he seeks to share his experiences with those that admire the natural world and to protect the hidden spectacles of the wilderness for the future generations.
“Repertoire: A pictorial gateway to Sri Lanka’s nature” marked his debut publication as a photographer. His wildlife images have been awarded both nationally and internationally. He currently contributes his knowledge as a wildlife photography lecturer and a national and international competition judge, while being the main course instructor in Wildlife photography at the Institute of Multimedia Education (IME).

# Fernando Gil-Enseñat

Fernando Arturo Gil-Enseñat is a Puerto Rican politician and lawyer. He was the secretary of housing of Puerto Rico under Ricardo Rosselló administration, until January 19, 2020.
Gil-Enseñat was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. Before being appointed Secretary, he served as the Associated Administrator for acquisition and contracting in the Public Housing Administration of Puerto Rico. Fernando Gil has a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, a Juris Doctor from the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico and studies at master's degree in private international law at Washington College of Law.
In February 2019, Gil-Enseñat was also answering questions as to why the Foundation for Puerto Rico received a large block of the grant money for rebuilding and reconstructing without going through a normal bidding process.
As of September 2019, two years after Hurricane Maria, Gil-Enseñat was negotiating the distribution of funds for island reconstruction and relief for homeowners who lost their homes or home's roof. Release of funds has been mired in delays: first by a U.S. government shutdown, then by HUD wanting to audit the administration of funds after Governor Ricardo Rosselló's Telegate scandal and resignation. Recommendations for how to satisfy eligibility requirements for the CDBG-DR (what the grant is called) were recommended in a letter addressed to Gil-Enseñat, in March 2018, by the National Low Income Housing Coalition.
While hundreds of thousands of homes were damaged or destroyed— repairing or replacing the roofs is a monumental undertaking in any situation, but one that is particularly daunting in Puerto Rico, where many homes are built “informally,” without permits or titles. Qualifying for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's individual assistance program requires proof of homeownership, leaving many hurricane survivors ineligible because they have no deeds, leases, or mortgages. Gil-Enseñat was quoted as saying that until a recent meeting, treatment of Puerto Rico seemed unfair and discriminatory and that many of the requirements make accessing the relief funds extremely difficult.
# Harry Jackson (criminal)

Harry Jackson (c. 1861–?) was the first person to be convicted in the United Kingdom via fingerprint evidence.
On 27 June 1902 a burglary occurred in a house in Denmark Hill, London, and some billiard balls were stolen. The investigating officer noticed a number of fingerprints on a freshly painted windowsill, apparently where the burglar made his entry. He immediately called the Metropolitan Police Fingerprint Bureau, and Detective-Sergeant Charles Stockley Collins went to the scene. Collins examined the marks and decided that the left thumb made the clearest impression. After satisfying himself that the marks had not been left by any member of the household, he took a photograph of it.
Returning to the Bureau, Collins and his colleagues made a search of their files for known criminals with a similar print pattern. The files revealed that the fingerprints belonged to a 41-year-old labourer, Harry Jackson, who had recently served a prison term for burglary. He was arrested, and for safety's sake, fingerprinted again. This new set was compared to the prints photographed from the crime scene and again they matched.
Since the crime of burglary required a jury trial in the Old Bailey, Edward Henry, the Assistant Commissioner (Crime) of the Metropolitan Police Service and head of the Criminal Investigation Department, was determined to make this case succeed. As the man who devised the Henry System of Fingerprint Classification and the founder of the Fingerprint Bureau, he knew that only the soundest sort of Crown prosecutor would be able to convince conservative English judges and a sceptical jury to overcome their prejudices. For these purposes, he decided on Richard Muir, a prosecutor with a reputation for thoroughness and an exacting nature.
Henry sent Collins to Muir to brief him on fingerprinting technique for four days. Muir afterwards became so convinced of its value that he said later on that he would have taken a far shakier case if it could have helped Henry win public recognition for his work.
When Harry Jackson went on trial at the Old Bailey, Muir did what he was asked to do: he convinced the jury of the absolute reliability of fingerprints. As a result, Harry Jackson was found guilty and sentenced to seven years in prison on 13 September 1902.
While it clearly set a precedent on the admissibility of fingerprints as evidence, some people were unhappy about the turn of events. As one letter to The Times (signed by "A Disgusted Magistrate") stated: "Scotland Yard, once known as the world’s finest police organisation, will be the laughing stock of Europe it if insists on trying to trace criminals by odd ridges on their skins."
Jackson's status as the first person to be arrested on the basis of fingerprint evidence was the subject of episode 4 of "Connections 2", a documentary series by James Burke.

# Curtly Hampton

Curtly Hampton (born 10 March 1993) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was originally recruited by incoming AFL club Greater Western Sydney with one of their Northern Territory zone selections in 2010. He was traded to Adelaide at the end of 2015, after 51 matches in four AFL seasons for Greater Western Sydney. Hampton is originally from Alice Springs, and is the son of former politician Karl Hampton.

## AFL career
### Greater Western Sydney (2012–2015)

Hampton was one of the first players to be recruited by the Giants, using one of their Northern Territory zone selections in 2010. He had captained the Australian Institute of Sport academy team and was likened to former Adelaide star Andrew McLeod. In February 2011, Hampton had the distinction of kicking Greater Western Sydney's first ever goal, in a match against an AFL Sydney under 21s side.
Hampton made his AFL debut in Greater Western Sydney's first AFL game, in round 1 of 2012 against Sydney at ANZ Stadium, and went on to play 17 matches in his first year, playing both in attack and in defence. Hampton established himself in 2013 as a running defender, a position he had never played prior to AFL level, playing 18 matches and considerably improving on his 2012 output.
Hampton started well in 2014, starring at half-back for the first seven rounds before injuries derailed the latter part of his season, including a shoulder injury that would keep him out for six weeks. He then played just five games in 2015, dominating in the NEAFL but failing to make an impact when called up to the AFL side. At the end of the season, Hampton decided to explore trade options and was ultimately traded to the Adelaide Football Club in exchange for a 2016 second-round draft pick.

### Adelaide (2016–2018)

Hampton's new start at the Crows was delayed by a foot injury that ultimately sidelined him for the entire season. He made his debut for the Crows in Round 1, 2017 against his old side, the Giants. On 18 July 2018, Hampton announced he was retiring from professional football.

# William Adams (Royal Navy officer, died 1748)

William Adams (died 28 September 1748) was an officer of the Royal Navy. He served in the East Indies during the War of the Austrian Succession and was promoted by Admiral Thomas Griffin to be captain of the 50-gun HMS Harwich on 12 March 1748. Adams went on to serve under Admiral Edward Boscawen at the unsuccessful siege of Pondicherry in 1748 during the War of the Austrian Succession. The British fleet cannonaded the town's defences and were in turn fired upon. Little damage and few casualties were sustained on either side, there were only two British fatalities: Adams and a common sailor. After Adam's death, command of Harwich passed to Captain Richard Clements.

# Inspire Institute of Sport

Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) is India's first privately-funded high performance training centre for athletes. Founded by the JSW Group, the facility is spread over 42 acres in Vidyanagar, Bellary district, Karnataka. The institute provides full scholarships to athletes scouted from across the country in athletics, boxing, judo, swimming and wrestling.
According to Parth Jindal, the founder of IIS, the inspiration for starting the institute came from Abhinav Bindra's gold-medal win at the 2008 Summer Olympics. The construction of the institute began in 2014 in a hillock area in Vijayanagar, about 30 km away from Hampi and adjacent to JSW Group's Vidyanagar township. The construction of a 42000 sq. ft sports combat hall, a 16,000 sq. ft strength and conditioning centre and hostels was completed in April 2017, while the athletics track and a sports medicine centre was completed in 2018. An aquatics centre is expected to be prepared by 2019. The centre will also be the base for JSW Sports-owned Bengaluru FC's youth teams. The entire facility reportedly cost ₹100 crore.
IIS is recognized by Sports Authority of India as a Khelo India-accredited development centre for boxing and wrestling. The athletics track has been approved by the International Association of Athletics Federations while the aquatics centre will have the approval of FINA.
IIS was inaugurated on 15 August 2018, on the occasion of India's 72nd Independence Day. The facility, however, had been under use for over a year before the inauguration; among the athletes who have undergone training and rehab at IIS include Vinesh Phogat and Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra.
