# Mercer Reynolds

Mercer "Merce" Reynolds III (born June 17, 1945) is an American businessman. He was the finance chair of U.S. President George W. Bush's presidential campaign.

## Education and early career

Reynolds, born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and an M.B.A. from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. After serving briefly in the United States Army (1968–1969), he worked for Coca-Cola for ten years.

## Career

In 1979, Reynolds and business partner William DeWitt founded the investment firm Reynolds, DeWitt & Co.; he was its co-chair until 2001. Reynolds' other business ventures included Spectrum 7, an oil company which he co-chaired from 1980 to 1985 and which, in 1984 merged with the struggling firm Arbusto Energy, which was owned by George W. Bush. Reynolds was later an investor with Bush in the Texas Rangers baseball team. From 1985 to 2001, he was CEO of Reynolds Plantation, a golf community near Lake Oconee in Georgia.
Reynolds was the Ohio finance chairman for the George W. Bush 2000 presidential campaign, raising over $600,000, and was named to co-chair Bush's inaugural committee. As the national finance chair of U.S. President George W. Bush's 2004 re-election campaign, Reynolds helped raise over $200 million for the successful effort and is sometimes credited with helping to deliver Ohio's key electoral votes to the President. He was a frequent guest of President Bush at the White House and at Camp David and was a leading contender for the post of Commerce Secretary upon the 2004 resignation of Donald Evans. Carlos Gutierrez was ultimately selected, and served until the end of Bush's term.
Reynolds has been active in fundraising for community and civic organizations including Summerbridge, a tutoring program for inner-city youth in Cincinnati, the National Coalition for the Protection of Children and Families, and United Way of America. In the field of foreign policy, he sits on the advisory board of the Center for Strategic and International Studies and has been involved with the Bridging the Rift Foundation in the Middle East.

### Ambassadorship

From August 2001 to September 2003, Reynolds served as the ambassador of the United States to Switzerland and Liechtenstein, although was criticized for his lack of qualifications or prior diplomatic experience.

## Personal life

Reynolds lives in Indian Hill, Ohio; he has five children. His deceased wife, Gabrielle Reynolds (1948-2018) was appointed by President Bush in 2004 to serve on the board of trustees of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Reynolds' daughter-in-law is Lindsay Reynolds, the former Chief of Staff of First Lady of the United States Melania Trump.
Mercer was a Platform Tennis player for many years in the '70s and '80s and was nationally ranked.
# Trio Dhoore

Trio Dhoore was a Belgian Flemish instrumental folk band composed of brothers Ward, Hartwin, and Koen Dhoore. It was active from 2010 to 2021.

## History

The brothers grew up playing music together, starting around age 10. They formed the trio in 2010. The trio dissolved in September 2021, with Ward and Hartwin continuing on as Siger.

## Musical style

Chris Nickson of RootsWorld writes that the band has "grown into a central part of the European instrumental movement, influenced but not completely consumed by their native traditions". Peter Thelen of Exposé writes that "their music is a beautifully crafted collection of strongly melodic pieces that are at once warm, tempered and powerful, with every player an essential element of their sound". Irish Music Magazine writes that "if you are new to Flemish music Trio Dhoore is at its cutting edge and well worth discovering". Alex Gallacher of Folk Radio UK writes that "the intuitive musicianship between the brothers is quite magical", and that they create "beautiful soundscapes" which "breathe new life into traditional Flemish music".

# Aboriginal Witnesses Act

The Aboriginal Witnesses Act 1848 was a series of South Australian ordinances, acts and amendments that permitted Indigenous South Australians to give unsworn evidence in Court, because at the time it was considered that Indigenous people could not make an oath. The Act existed from 1848 until 1929.
Enacted by Governor of South Australia George Grey during the early colonial period of South Australia, the act was established "To facilitate the admission of the unsworn testimony of Aboriginal inhabitants of South Australia and parts adjacent". Despite the act's stated aims being to facilitate Aboriginal testimony, it had the opposite effect, creating a situation where the massacre of Aboriginal peoples by European colonisers could not be tried solely on the evidence of Aboriginal witnesses.

## History

In 1844, the Aborigines' Evidence Act 1844 was enacted. This was followed by the 1848 Aboriginal Witnesses Act 1848.
Governor George Grey was responsible for the act, and later Governor Frederick Robe was responsible for the act's amendments. While its stated aim was to make provisions for unsworn testimony by "uncivilised people" to be admissible in court, the act made it possible for a judge to dismiss the testimony of an "uncivilised person or persons" as insufficient unless corroborated by other evidence - that the court could not base the conviction of a white man on the testimony of an aboriginal witness alone. Although it was a progressive law for the time, the act decreed that the credibility of the evidence be left to the discretion of "the justice of the court, or jury under direction of the judge". The act also made Aboriginal testimony inadmissible in trials that carried the penalty of death.
Effectively, the act created a situation where settler solidarity and the law of evidence ensured that the murder and massacre of aboriginal Australians by European colonisers could not be tried solely on the evidence of aboriginal witnesses. Possibly in response to the Avenue Range Station massacre, where three Tanganekald women, two teenage girls, three infants, and an "old man blind and infirm" were murdered by Australian mass murderer and pastoralist James Brown, the Aboriginal Witnesses Act of 1848 was amended in July 1849 to allow a person to be convicted on the sole testimony of an aboriginal person, though this rarely occurred.
The act remained in force until 1929.
# Languages of Djibouti

The languages of Djibouti include Afar, Arabic, Somali and French. Somali and Afar are the most widely spoken tongues, and Arabic and French serve as the official languages.
According to the 2018 report from the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, Djibouti has 50% French speakers. French is the main language of schooling, from primary to university, alongside Arabic.

## Languages

Djibouti is a multilingual country. According to Ethnologue, the majority of the population speaks Somali (524,000 speakers) or Afar (306,000 speakers) as a first language, which are the mother tongues of the Somali and Afar ethnic groups, respectively. Both languages belong to the Cushitic branch of the larger Afro-Asiatic family. Northern Somali is the main dialect spoken in the country and neighbouring Somalia.
There are two official languages in Djibouti: Arabic and French. Arabic is of religious importance. In a formal setting, it consists of Modern Standard Arabic. Colloquially, about 59,000 local residents speak the Ta'izzi-Adeni Arabic dialect, known in Djibouti as Djiboutian Arabic. French was inherited from the European colonization period and is the primary language of instruction. About 17,000 Djiboutians speak it as a first language.
Immigrant languages include Omani Arabic (38,900 speakers), Amharic (1,400 speakers), Greek (1,000 speakers) and Hindi (600 speakers).
Additionally, the Somali deaf community in Djibouti uses the Somali Sign Language.
The Somali language is regulated by the Regional Somali Language Academy, an intergovernmental institution established in June 2013 in Djibouti City by the governments of Djibouti, Somalia and Ethiopia. It is officially mandated with preserving the Somali language.

## Writing system

Nationally, the Latin script is the most widely used orthography for all languages. The Somali alphabet, a modified form of the script, is used to write Somali. In the early 1970s, two Afar intellectuals and nationalists, Dimis and Redo, formalized a similar Afar alphabet. Known as Qafar Feera, the orthography is also based on the Latin script.
Additionally, Somali and Afar are transcribed using the Arabic script.
# Strik Yoma

Strik Yoma (February 16, 1937 - September 2, 1984) was a Micronesian politician. Yoma served as the first elected Lieutenant Governor of Pohnpei under then-Governor Leo Falcam from May 1, 1979, until May 1, 1983.
Strik Yoma married his wife, Sizue “Suzie” G. Yoma, on July 6, 1967. The couple had five children - Norton Yoma (born 1968), Melina Yoma (born 1969), Manuel Yoma (born 1972), Neong Yoma (born 1974) and Esuroi Yoma (born 1977), who was adopted.

# Templetonia retusa

Templetonia retusa, known as cockies tongues, cocky's tongues, or coral bush is a shrub in the family Fabaceae (Leguminosae) that grows in southern and south-western Australia. It grows up to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) high, with leaves 15–40 millimetres (0.6–1.6 in) long and 7–25 mm (0.3–1.0 in) wide. Its flowers are normally a rich red colour, and are 25–40 mm (1.0–1.6 in) long. The seed pods are 40–50 mm (1.6–2.0 in) long and around 10 mm (0.4 in) wide. It is found in coastal woodland and heaths over limestone from Shark Bay, Western Australia, to near Kangaroo Island, as well as inland in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia.
# Vataireoids

The vataireoids are an early-branching monophyletic clade of the flowering plant subfamily Faboideae (or Papilionaceae) that are mostly found in northern South America, primarily Brazil.

## Description

This clade is composed of four genera, two of which were traditionally assigned to the tribe Dalbergieae (Vatairea and Vataireopsis) and two of which were traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae (Luetzelburgia and Sweetia), mainly on the basis of flower morphology. However, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses circumscribed these four genera into a strongly supported monophyletic clade. The name of this clade is informal and is not assumed to have any particular taxonomic rank like the names authorized by the ICBN or the ICPN. The clade is defined as:
   "The most inclusive crown clade containing Sweetia fruticosa Spreng. 1825 and Vatairea guianensis Aubl. but not Andira inermis (W. Wright) DC., Zollernia ilicifolia (Brongn.) Vogel 1837, or Aldina insignis (Benth.) Endl. 1843."

# Caliper log

A caliper log is a well logging tool that provides a continuous measurement of the size and shape of a borehole along its depth and is commonly used in hydrocarbon exploration. The measurements that are recorded can be an important indicator of wash-outs, cave ins or shale swelling in the borehole, which can affect the results of other well logs.

## Process

The caliper tool measures the variation in borehole diameter as it is withdrawn from the bottom of the hole, using two or more articulated arms that push against the borehole wall. Each arm is typically connected to a potentiometer which causes the resistance to change as the diameter of the borehole changes, creating a varying electrical signal that represents the changing shape of the borehole. This variation in output is translated into changes of diameter after a simple calibration and the caliper log is printed as a continuous series of values of hole diameter with depth.
Caliper logs may also be created from both acoustic and electrical borehole image logging. Electrical borehole imaging logs are typical created with 4, 6, or 8 armed tools, which can also be used to create a caliper log. Acoustic borehole imaging tools can create the most accurate and detailed caliper logs, using the pulse echo transit times with an independent acoustic measurement of the borehole drilling fluid velocity, but the range of this type of measurement is often limited by the high acoustic attenuation of the drilling fluid.
The decentralization arm typically present on a density logging tool may also be used to create a crude caliper log, which is limited along a single, high-side axis.

## Accuracy

Known challenges with caliper logging include borehole spiralling. The position of the drill bit may precess as it drills, leading to spiraling shapes in the wellbore wall, as if the hole had been drilled by a screw. If the arms of the caliper log follow the grooves of the spiral, it will report too high an average diameter. Moving in and out of the grooves, the caliper will give erratic or periodically varying readings.
The borehole can also change to an oval shape while drilling, which typically occurs in doglegs where the axis of borehole is bending to change the direction of the well. This oval shape can cause a 2-arm caliper log to overestimate the size of the borehole, if its arms get stuck in the long-axis.
In most cases, the borehole's circumference will not be a perfect circle and therefore a caliper tool with several arms is required to obtain a true understanding of the size and shape of the borehole. The current state of the art is six independent mechanical arms that simultaneous record the radial distance from the center of the tool. Abrupt changes in borehole diameter, such as a washout at the bottom of casing, or thin fractures may not be accurately measured due to the geometry or range of the measurement arms.
# Steven Cann

Steven Cann (born 20 January 1988) is a South African-born Welsh footballer who plays for Welsh Premier League side Port Talbot Town.

## Club career

Having started his career at Derby County, Cann was released in June 2007. After his release by Derby, Cann joined Rotherham United on 31 July 2007, after impressing in a trial. He played his first game for the Millers in a 3-0 FA Cup loss to Aldershot Town. In his next game for the Millers, in the Football League Trophy Northern Semi-Final against Darlington, Cann saved 2 penalties in a 4–2 shoot out win, including saving one with his groin, enabling the Millers to progress to the Northern Final.
Cann was released by Rotherham at the end of the 2008–09 season, joining Welsh Premier League side Aberystwyth Town, making his debut in a 4–0 win over Caersws on the opening day of the season. Having previously been with the club on a non-contract basis, Cann signed a permanent contract with Aberystwyth on 4 December 2009. Manager Alan Morgan praised Cann's form stating: "Steve, in my eyes, is the best goalkeeper in the Welsh Premier." In his first year with the club, Cann made 29 league appearances before an injury ruled him out for the final month of the season.
Following a two-season spell with Carmarthen Town, Cann joined fellow Welsh Premier League outfit Port Talbot Town.

## International career

Cann has represented Wales Under 19 and was called to the under 19 squad for the 2006 Milk Cup. He is eligible to play for three countries Wales, South Africa and England.

# Zander Kirkland

Alexander "Zander" Kirkland (born February 11, 1983) is a Bermudian competitive sailor. Kirkland was involved with sailing from a young age, and sailed in college at Tufts University in Massachusetts. Following college, he and his brother Jesse Kirkland began training in an attempt to qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games in London in the 49er event. During the 2012 49er World Championship in Croatia, the brothers finished in the Gold fleet and thereby qualified to represent Bermuda in the 2012 Olympics.

## Career

Kirkland is a native of Bermuda, and grew up sailing there. He attended college in the United States at Tufts University in Massachusetts, and sailed while a student. He later moved to Newport Beach, California, where he worked as youth sailing director for the Newport Harbor Yacht Club and as sailing coach at Newport Harbor High School. Two years prior to the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Kirkland and his brother Jesse Kirkland began training full-time in an attempt to qualify as Bermuda's representatives in the Olympics 49er competition. The 49er, a small two-person racing dinghy, is a relatively new sailing competition for the Olympics, having debuted for the first time at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
At the 2012 World Championships in Croatia at the Sailing Club Uskok, the Kirkland brothers arrived early to gain experience sailing in local conditions. They advanced to the gold fleet after the preliminary qualifying races and later became the first team to secure one of the five remaining Olympic qualifying places that remained at the time after finishing in eighth place out of seventy-four in the final standings. After their success in Croatia, they likewise left early for Weymouth, England, in order to get used to local sailing conditions prior to the start of the Olympic Games. They were one of twenty boats that competed in the 49er competition in the 2012 Olympics, finishing in 19th place.
