# Victoria Meadows

Victoria Suzanne Meadows is a Professor with the Astronomy Department and Director of the Astrobiology Program at the University of Washington. She is also the Principal Investigator for the NASA Astrobiology Institute's Virtual Planetary Laboratory Lead Team and the chair of the NAI Focus Group on Habitability and Astronomical Biosignatures (HAB). The research direction of the team is to create computer models that can be used to understand planet formation, stability and orbital evolution, and to simulate the environment and spectra of planets that can potentially be habitable.
She obtained her B.Sc. in physics from the University of New South Wales, and a Ph.D. in physics from the Astrophysics Department of the University of Sydney.
Scientific American consulted her for comments when the Kepler space telescope mission discovered large numbers of planets orbiting distant stars.

## Research

Meadows’ main research focus is to determine processes to identify whether an extrasolar planet is able to support life. With her Virtual Planetary Laboratory, she develops computer models to understand the process by which planets form, their stability and orbital evolution. The models are used to help design and develop planet detection missions which focus on the most promising tests. In 2015, she co-published a new metric called the “habitability index for transiting planets” which aims to help prioritize where to conduct closer inspections among the thousands of exoplanets being discovered, with the best prospects for identifying signs of life beyond Earth.
One of the key factors is to test for the presence of oxygen on candidate planets, so her team of 75 researchers in 2016 were investigating how to distinguish false positive signals from true signs of biological activity.
In 2020, she co-authored research into spectral analysis of gas on Venus. She pointed out that signs which had originally been interpreted as the gas phosphine (a possible sign of life) could instead be sulfur dioxide (which is not considered a sign of life).
As of 2024, Google Scholar reports that her publications have a total of 16000 citations, with an h-index of 66.

## Awards

In 2018, the SETI Institute awarded her their Drake Award "in recognition of her contributions to the field of astrobiology and her work as a researcher, leader and inspiration for everyone working in her field". She was the first woman to receive this award.
# Olaus Islandsmoen

Olaus Islandsmoen (1873 in Sør-Aurdal – 1949) was a Norwegian educator, museologist and politician.
He was headmaster at Vestoppland Folk High School from 1906 to 1939. He was a member of the Parliament of Norway from 1916 to 1918. He was a chairman of Noregs Mållag from 1917 to 1921. He co-founded of the organization Norske Museers Landsforbund, a forerunner of Norges Museumsforbund, in 1918. In the 1930s he was a member of the council of Norges Forsvarsforening.
# John Chellis Conner

John Chellis "Jack" Conner (October 3, 1913 – August 20, 2001) was an American marimbist.
Conner was born in Kahoka, Missouri in 1913. At the age of six, he began his studies of piano and percussion instruments. By the age of twelve, he was playing regularly on the radio with the KMOX Junior Orchestra. As a young artist he was a member of the International Marimba Symphony Orchestra during their European tour in 1935. Before pursuing a solo career, he was a member of both the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and the St. Louis Municipal Opera Orchestra and was regularly heard on major St. Louis radio stations.
He served overseas with the USO in the European theater and he later toured South America with the Xavier Cugat Orchestra. As one of the first percussionists to take the marimba and vibraphone into the classical world as solo instruments, he made his New York debut at Town Hall in 1950. After hearing Conner’s artistry on the instruments, Darius Milhaud, the French composer, was inspired to compose a concerto for Conner to perform. This Concerto for Marimba and Vibraphone was given its world premier with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in 1948 with Vladimir Golschmann conducting.
In addition to his classical career, Conner was a jazz musician, especially in the New York City area. He was associated with Roger Williams, the pianist, with whom he had a 25-year association. He also performed with the Don Ho show in Hawaii and Las Vegas and served as music director and conductor for Anita Bryant. He also appeared on numerous radio and television programs such as Merv Griffin, Mike Douglas and the Lawrence Welk Show.
Conner’s greatest love was inspirational and sacred music and he had a longtime association with Youth for Christ and World Vision, and his ministry in Christian music took him into concert halls, theaters, and churches throughout the world. He was also a producer of Christian films such as “In God We Trust”, which he wrote and in which he played a major role. He made numerous recordings featuring both the marimba and vibraphone.
In 1990, he was presented the honorary degree, Doctor of Sacred Music, by Trinity College of Florida. He spent his later years performing with his son and daughter-in-law as “The Conners in Concert.”

# Lesser tube-nosed bat

The lesser tube-nosed bat (Nyctimene minutus) is a species of megabat in the family Pteropodidae. It is native to two of the Maluku Islands (Spice Islands) in northern Indonesia.

## Taxonomy

The lesser tube-nosed bat was described as a new species in 1910 by Danish mammalogist Knud Andersen. The holotype had been collected by Alfred Russel Wallace in Tondano, Indonesia. Two subspecies are recognized, with Andersen also the taxonomic authority: N. m. minutus and N. m. varius.

## Description

The lesser tube-nosed bat has a forearm length of approximately 51 mm (2.0 in).

## Range and status

The bat is endemic to the mountainous forests of Buru and Seram Islands in Maluku Province. It is not found on nearby Ambon Island. It has been documented at a range of elevations from 700–900 m (2,300–3,000 ft) above sea level. Its habitat is mid-montane forests.
In 2008, it was evaluated as a vulnerable species by the IUCN.
# 1946–47 Tri-Cities Blackhawks season

The 1946–47 season was the only season under the Buffalo Bisons name, as well as the Tri-Cities Blackhawks' inaugural season in the National Basketball League (NBL). The team originally began play as the Buffalo Bisons, based in Buffalo, New York, but moved during the middle of the season (after only 13 games played in 1946) to Moline, Illinois on Christmas Day, becoming the Tri-Cities Blackhawks. Due to the sudden nature of their move from Buffalo to Moline, the Blackhawks (now known as the Atlanta Hawks) inherited the original 5–8 record of the Bisons, as well as their brief history of existence there.

## Roster

## Regular season

The Buffalo Bisons won its first game 50–39 over the Syracuse Nationals on November 8, 1946. The team's last Buffalo appearance was a 50–38 loss to the Sheboygan Red Skins on December 16. The Bisons left town for a December road trip with their future in doubt; the team struggled to draw crowds in Buffalo, and two of their scheduled home games were canceled. On December 25, it was announced that the franchise was moving to Moline, where they finished the season as the Tri-Cities Blackhawks. The Blackhawks missed the postseason with a 19–25 record (5–8 in Buffalo and 14–17 in Moline).

# I Wish It Would Rain

"I Wish It Would Rain" is a 1967 song recorded by the Temptations for the Motown label (under the "Gordy" imprint) and produced by Norman Whitfield. The lyrics of this mournful song about a heartbroken man whose woman had just left him were penned by Motown staff writer Rodger Penzabene. The lyricist had just learned that his wife was cheating on him and in his sorrow and pain, Penzabene penned both this and its follow-up "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)." Tragically the distraught Penzabene committed suicide barely a week after the single's release.

## Release

Issued with the Melvin Franklin-led "I Truly, Truly Believe" as its B-side, "I Wish It Would Rain" peaked for three weeks in February and March 1968 at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart and at the number-one position on the Billboard R&B singles chart. The single was the focal point of the Temptations' 1968 album The Temptations Wish It Would Rain.
Billboard described the single as an "easy beat blues rocker" that "will soar to the top in short order." Cash Box said that "touches of Bacarachian style add a refreshingly new dimension to the terrific sound of the Temptations" and that "hard percussion and coasting strings give a solidity and gentleness to the soul vocal."

## Personnel

* Lead vocals by David Ruffin
* Background vocals by Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams, and Otis Williams
* Written by Norman Whitfield, Barrett Strong, and Rodger Penzabene
* Produced by Norman Whitfield
* Instrumentation by The Funk Brothers.

## Notable cover versions

* "I Wish It Would Rain" has been covered by a number of artists, most prominently by:
* Gladys Knight & the Pips, peaking in the US at number 41 pop and 15 R&B.
* New Zealand singer songwriter, Jon Stevens recorded and released a version of the song in 1994, with money raised benefiting drought-stricken farmers. The song peaked at number 49 in New Zealand.
* Bruce Springsteen covered the song in his 2022 studio album, Only the Strong Survive.
# Gleanings from the Writings of Baháʼu'lláh

Gleanings from the Writings of Baháʼu'lláh is a compilation of selected tablets and extracts from tablets by Baháʼu'lláh, the founder of the Baháʼí Faith. Shoghi Effendi, Guardian of the Baháʼí Faith from 1921 to 1957, made the selection and performed the translation, which was first published in 1935.
The work consists of "a selection of the most characteristic and hitherto unpublished passages from the outstanding works of the Author of the Baháʼí Revelation," according to Shoghi Effendi. The passages come from the whole range of Baháʼu'lláh's writings, dated from about 1853 to 1892.
The book can be divided in five parts:
* The "Day of God" (sec. 1-18)
* The Manifestation of God (sec. 19-69)
* The soul and its immortality (sec. 70-99)
* The World Order and the Most Great Peace (sec. 100-121)
* The duties of the individual and the spiritual meaning of life (sec. 122-166)
Among others, passages from the following works are included:
* Epistle to the Son of the Wolf
* The Hidden Words
* The Kitáb-i-Aqdas
* The Kitáb-i-Íqán
In addition, works partially translated in Gleanings were published more completely in the following compilations:
* The Summons of the Lord of Hosts
* The Tabernacle of Unity
* Tablets of Baháʼu'lláh Revealed After the Kitáb-i-Aqdas
The book was published without a list of which passages were derived from which works of Baháʼu'lláh, but such a list has been reconstructed subsequently and is on the web.
Because of its broad selection, Gleanings is one of the first works of Baháʼu'lláh many people read. Rúḥíyyih Rabbání, Shoghi Effendi's widow, called it "a magnificent gift" to the Western Baháʼís. Queen Marie of Romania wrote that "even doubters would find a powerful strength in it, if they would read it alone, and would give their souls time to expand." The work has been translated into many languages.

# Bertil Envall

Bertil Envall (29 October 1909, Annedal, Gothenburg - 23 November 2011, Backa, Gothenburg) was a Swedish Lutheran missionary and bishop emeritus of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Malaysia. He was the son of a business manager, Gustaf Envall, and Bertha Svedberg.

## Early career

After his ordination in Gothenburg in 1934, Envall served as a missionary of the Church of Sweden Mission in South India from 1937 to 1954. He then returned to Sweden and served as the vicar in the parish of Foss in Bohuslän.

## Serving in Malaya

He was asked to serve as the superintendent of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Malaysia and Singapore in 1961 and was elected and consecrated as the bishop of the church in 1965 and 1966 respectively.

## Attempts at Lutheran unity in Malaya

Envall was instrumental in initiating a consultative dialogue between the congregations established by missionaries of the United Lutheran Church in America among the ethnic Chinese and the Tamil congregations led by the Tamil Evangelical Lutheran Church and the Swedish mission in Malaya with the intention of establishing a single Lutheran church in Malaya.
Despite agreeing on organisation and stewardship in general, disagreements arose upon the form of church government for the proposed national church. While the Swedish mission and the Tamil Lutherans was partial to an episcopal polity, it was not accepted by the representatives of the American mission who felt that the local Chinese Lutherans would not be familiar with that form of government. There were also disagreements on the nature of apostolic succession as well as the significant differences in the culture, language and origins between the Tamils and Chinese who were ministered by the respective missions, the former consisting mainly of established Tamil Lutheran families while the latter consisted mainly of congregations of young individual Chinese who were first generation Christians.
As a result, two Lutheran church bodies were established in Malaya; the Tamil Evangelical Lutheran Church districts in Malaya were reconstituted as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Malaysia and Singapore (ELCMS) on 13 August 1962 whereas the mainly Chinese congregations of the American Mission was organised the Lutheran Church in Malaya (later renamed the Lutheran Church in Malaysia and after Singapore's independence in 1965, the Lutheran Church in Malaysia and Singapore) a year later on 3 August 1963.

## Retirement and death

Envall retired and returned to Sweden in 1977 where he stayed until his death on 23 November 2011.

# Syd Ward (cricketer)

Sydney William Ward (5 August 1907 – 31 December 2010) was an Australian-born New Zealand cricketer. Ward was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium pace.
From the death of Frank Shipston on 6 July 2005 until his death, Ward was considered the oldest living first-class cricketer and the second oldest ever, behind Jim Hutchinson. Following his death, Cyril Perkins became the oldest living first-class cricketer.
Ward was born in Sydney, Australia – hence his name – and moved to New Zealand in 1917 prior to playing first-class cricket for Wellington in the late 1920s. Alongside cricket, when he was young he was also proficient at rugby, athletics, and football.
His first-class debut for Wellington came in the 1929/30 Plunket Shield against Otago. From 1929/30 to 1937/38, he represented Wellington in 10 first-class matches, with his final first-class match coming against Canterbury. In his 20 first-class innings, he scored 282 runs at a batting average of 14.84, with a single half century high score of 61, which came against Auckland in the 1934/35 season. In 1937–38 he was the leading batsman in Wellington senior club cricket, with 642 runs at an average of 64.20 for Kilbirnie, who won the championship.
He played representative rugby for Wellington between 1931 and 1934, when a broken leg ended his football career.
Ward served in the Royal New Zealand Air Force in World War II, stationed at Nelson. He worked as a watchmaker – initially as his father's apprentice – and jeweller in Wellington until 1982, then retired to the Wairarapa farming village of Kaiwaiwai, between Featherston and Martinborough.
