# Yorkshire Electricity

Yorkshire Electricity was an electricity distribution utility in England, serving much of Yorkshire and parts of Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.

## History

Formed as the Yorkshire Electricity Board in 1948 as part of the nationalisation of the electricity industry by the Electricity Act 1947. The establishment of the company involved the amalgamation of 50 private and local authority power companies. The Yorkshire Electricity Board took over Scarcroft Lodge in north Leeds as its headquarters.

### Nationalised industry

The Yorkshire Electricity Board was responsible for the purchase of electricity from the electricity generator (the Central Electricity Generating Board from 1958) and its distribution and sale of electricity to customers. The key people on the board were chairman Arthur Bond (1964, 1967), deputy chairman R. H. M. Barkham (1964, 1967), and full-time member J. S. Yates (1964, 1967).
The total number of customers supplied by the board was:
Yorkshire Electricity Board customers, 1949–89 :
| Year | 1948/9 | 1960/1 | 1965/6 | 1970/1 | 1975/6 | 1978/9 | 1980/1 | 1985/6 | 1987/8 | 1988/9 |
| No. of customers, 1000s | 1084 | 1539 | 1647 | 1737 | 1815 | 1851 | 1853 | 1903 | 1929 | 1946 |
The amount of electricity, in GWh, sold by Yorkshire Electricity Board was:

### Post privatisation

Yorkshire Electricity Board was privatised in 1990 as the Yorkshire Electricity Group plc.
In June 1993, Homepower stores were opened across the Yorkshire region. Homepower was the retail arm of the company which was a joint venture with East Midlands Electricity. At its peak, Homepower employed 900 people and had 130 stores. This part of the company was sold off in 1996.
In 1997 the company was acquired by American Electric Power (AEP) and Public Service Company of Colorado (part of Xcel Energy) in a deal worth £1.5 billion. In 2001 Innogy plc bought 94.75% of the company in a deal worth £1.8 billion. The company was subsequently split into two entities, one a supply company, the other a distribution utility. The distribution company (Yorkshire Electricity Distribution Limited) was disposed of to CE Electric UK in 2001 in exchange for the supply business of Northern Electric. Northern Powergrid is now the licensed distribution network operator for the Yorkshire region. In 2002, the company divested itself of its Leeds Headquarters as most staff and processes had been transferred to the Midlands headquarters of npower by that time.
Innogy was itself taken over by RWE. The supply company now trades as npower.
# Stanley Warde Hart

Stanley Warde Hart (about 1870 - May 23, 1944) was a touring vaudeville performer and later theater manager. He performed under the stage name "Hart the Laugh King". Hart was described as a graduate of the New York Institute of Science, a by-mail institution dedicated to hypnotism and the occult; Hart included stage hypnotism among his acts. Hart was performing as late as 1910.
After touring as the Laugh King, Hart relocated to Los Angeles where he ran theaters including the city's Hyman Theater. In association with the theaters, Hart organized beauty queen pageants. By 1914, he was manager of the Columbia theater. In 1919, he was associated with Quinn's Rialto theater.
Hart received a brief mention in the 1942 biography of American clairvoyant Edgar Cayce who recalled having first been exposed to hypnosis through Hart's stage act. When Stanley Hart died in 1944, his death was covered nationwide via the Associated Press wire service.

# Scutiger pes-caprae

Scutiger pes-caprae, commonly known as the goat's foot, is a species of fungus in the family Albatrellaceae.

## Taxonomy

It was first described officially as a species of Polyporus by Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1818. In recent decades, it was known most commonly as a species of Albatrellus until molecular research published by Canadian mycologist Serge Audet in 2010 revealed that it was more appropriate in an emended version of the genus Scutiger.

## Description

The brown cap tends toward a convex kidney shape, sometimes lobed. It is 6–15 centimetres (2+1⁄2–6 in) wide, while the stem is 3–7 cm (1+1⁄4–2+3⁄4 in) tall and 1.5–3 cm (1⁄2–1+1⁄4 in) thick. The flesh is 5–20 millimetres (1⁄4–3⁄4 in) thick and whitish. The spore print is white.

### Similar species

Scutiger ellisii, Laeticutis cristata, and Jahnoporus hirtus bear similarities.

## Distribution and habitat

It is found in western North America, under conifers and on rotting wood, from August to February.

# Michael J. Gallagher (artist)

Michael J. Gallagher (American Artist) born Scranton, PA 1898-died Philadelphia, PA 1965.
Gallagher was born into a mining family in Scranton, PA where he lived until he joined the U.S. Army in World War I. In 1919, Gallagher was diagnosed with tuberculosis and returned home to be treated. A doctor noticed Gallagher’s immense artistic talent and suggested that he apply for scholarships to attend the Philadelphia Museum and School of Industrial Art. Gallagher followed this advice and began his formal art training. After graduating, Gallagher made his living as a magazine illustrator.
During the Great Depression, President Roosevelt and congress passed multiple work relief programs, Roosevelt commenced a $5 billion program called Works Progress Administration (WPA), which sought to employee Americans in various fields including artists under the Federal Arts Project(FAP) In 1935, Gallagher was hired as technical director of the Philadelphia Printmaking branch of the WPA art project. Along with other WPA artists Dox Thrash and Hugh Mesibov, helped to pioneer a new technique of print making, the carborundum printmaking or carbograph.
Gallagher is known for his paintings, lithographs, woodcuts and book illustrations. He was accomplished at both figure studies and landscapes. Work by Gallagher are in the permanent collections the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY, the New York Public Library, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Los Angeles County Museum of art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Philadelphia Public Library, the Everhart Museum, Scranton, Princeton University, Museum, New Jersey, and the Earth and Mineral Sciences Museum & Art Gallery at The Pennsylvania State University.
# Naldaviricetes

Naldaviricetes is a class of viruses, which infect arthropods. Members of Naldaviricetes are characterized by large enveloped rod-shaped virions, circular double-stranded DNA genomes, and replication in the nucleus of the host cell. All of them (including the unassigned Polydnaviridae family) share a set of unique genes not found in other viruses, which include the presence of multiple interspersed direct repeats, various subunits of DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase, four late expression factor genes, and infectivity factor genes suggesting a common host entry mechanism.

## Phylogenetics

These viruses encompass several genes that are distantly related to core genes of the Nucleocytoviricota and thus could be highly derived members of the DJR-MCP viruses (kingdom Bamfordvirae of the realm Varidnaviria), despite the absence of the DJR-MCP and formation of odd-shaped virions. Preliminary phylogenetic analysis of several essential genes that are shared by all these arthoropod viruses and the Nucleocytoviricota, such as PolB, RNAP subunits, helicase-primase and thiol oxidoreductase, has suggested that this group of viruses might be a highly derived offshoot of the Nucleocytoviricota.

## Classification

Naldaviricetes contains one order and a family unassigned to an order. This taxonomy is shown hereafter:
* Class: Naldaviricetes
** Order: Lefavirales
** Unassigned family: Nimaviridae
The unassigned family Polydnaviridae is a potential member of the group because they share the characteristic genes of Naldaviricetes and appear to have evolved from nudiviruses of the order Lefavirales.
