# Richard Steyn

Richard Stephen Steyn (born 13 January 1944) is a South African newspaper editor, historian and first-class cricketer.

## Life and career

Steyn was born in Cape Town in January 1944, the son of Stephen Steyn, who played first-class cricket in South Africa in the 1920s and 1930s. While attending Stellenbosch University, he played cricket for the South African Universities team for several years in the 1960s.
Steyn was an off spin bowler and useful lower-order batsman. In his second first-class match, playing for South African Universities against the touring MCC in December 1964, he scored 33 (the top score) and 21 and took 5 for 84 in an innings defeat. He was selected to play for a South African Invitation XI against the MCC later that season, but was less successful. He toured England with South African Universities in 1967, captaining the team in some of their matches. His best first-class bowling figures were 6 for 40 for Natal B against Orange Free State in the Currie Cup in 1968–69. He played no further first-class cricket after that season.
Steyn practised as a lawyer before taking up journalism. He edited The Natal Witness in Pietermaritzburg from 1975 to 1990, was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University in 1985–86, and was editor in chief of The Star in Johannesburg from 1990 to 1995. He served as Standard Bank's Director of Corporate Affairs and Communications from 1996 to 2001, before returning to writing. He has since written several histories and biographies based on South African history in the first half of the 20th century.
Steyn and his wife Elizabeth have two sons.

# Hibbertia subvaginata

Hibbertia subvaginata is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is a small shrub that has yellow flowers with stamens arranged around three or four carpels.

## Description

Hibbertia subvaginata is an erect, occasionally a spreading or straggling shrub, that typically grows to a height of 0.15–1.2 m (5.9 in – 3 ft 11.2 in). The leaves have a wedge-shaped tip and a more or less sheathing base. Its yellow flowers may be seen from July to December and have their stamens arranged around three or four carpels.

## Taxonomy

This species was first described in 1845 by Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel who gave it the name Candollea subvaginata in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae. In 1880, Ferdinand von Mueller changed the name to Hibbertia subvaginata in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae. The specific epithet (subvaginata) derives from the Latin, sub-, ("somewhat" or "not completely") and vaginata ("sheathed") to give a Botanical Latin compound adjective meaning "somewhat sheathed" referring to the leaves.

## Distribution and habitat

Hibbertia subvaginata is found in the biogeographic regions of the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, the Geraldton Sandplains, the Jarrah Forest, the Swan Coastal Plain, and Warren. It grows on sand, granite, laterite, on sandplains, sand dunes, floodplains, and outcrops.

# Moorunde Wildlife Reserve

Moorunde Wildlife Reserve is a private protected area located in South Australia near the Murray River, between Blanchetown and Swan Reach.

## History

In 1967, wombat enthusiasts Mr & Mrs Conquest of Adelaide approached members of the "Natural History Society of South Australia" (NHSSA), keen to establish a sanctuary for Hairy-nosed Wombats. The Natural History Society was a society that aimed to promote the native flora and fauna of South Australia. Together, the Conquests and the NHSSA raised funds to acquire a section of Portee Station for the purpose of establishing a sanctuary for the Southern Hairy Nosed Wombat. The appeal was the first environmental appeal in the state, and sufficient funds were raised to purchase two parcels of land totalling 2020 hectares. The Society named the Moorunde Wildlife Reserve after the name Edward Eyre used for a local magistrate outpost. Disagreements over the Conquests' plan to run safari tours and the Society's preference for protecting wombat habitat as a priority saw the Conquests remove their support for the project. The society obtained contiguous sections of Portee, known as the 12-mile plain, in 2008, increasing the size of the property to 6950 hectares.

## Protected area status

As of 2014, land that forms the Moorunde Wildlife Reserve is subject to three native vegetation heritage agreements created in 2008 under the Native Vegetation Act 1991 (SA) where its owner, the Natural History Society of South Australia, has agreed to protect the property’s native vegetation in perpetuity. It is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.

# Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 86

The document was written on 28 March 338. Currently it is housed in the Cambridge University Library (MS Add.4040) in Cambridge.

## Description

The letter contains a petition, addressed to Flavius Eusebius, a logistes (the same as in P. Oxy. 85). It was submitted on behalf of Aurelius Papnouthis by his wife Helena. Papnouthis complains that Eustochius, who was required by a leitourgia to either serve as a sailor on the boat or to pay the salary of a substitute, had failed to do so. The complaint was written out and signed by Aurelius Theon because, as he states regarding Helena, "she is illiterate." The measurements of the fragment are 253 by 100 mm.

# Werner Flechsig

Werner Flechsig (June 8, 1900 - October 12, 1981) was a German physicist and television pioneer.

## Life

Werner Flechsig was born on June 8, 1900, in Cologne, Germany. He began studying mathematics and physics at the Technical University of Hanover. He continued his education at the Georg August University of Göttingen. There, Flechsig assisted Robert Wichard Pohl. In 1925, Flechsig completed his doctorate with the dissertation "Science of Photoelectric Primary Current in Crystals." In this document, Flechsig dealt with hot cathodes and photocells. He also considered the work of Pohl assistant Bernhard Gudden.
Flechsig became an employee of Fernseh-AG in Berlin, where he developed TV camera tubes. In 1936, he made the orthicon technology practical. At the Olympic summer games, orthicon camera tubes supplanted the earlier iconoscope tubes.
In 1937, the Internationale Funkausstellung of the Reichspost Research Institute displayed a color television method. (The Internationale Funkausstellung is the International Radio Exposition.) The new color television method used two primary colors. The process failed to produce satisfactory pictures. Members of the organization discussed developing a more accurate method to produce a full-color display: Additive color mixing with three primary colors.
Flechsig invented the principle of color picture generation with shadow-mask picture tubes., He registered his shadow-mask process in July 1938 as a German Reichspatent. The patent title was "Cathode Ray Tube for the Development of Multicolored Pictures on a Fluorescent Screen." An exhibit at the 1939 Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin displayed a prototype of Flechsig's color television receiver.
The war put an end to technical implementation of Flechsig's shadow mask picture tube. The Radio Corporation of America produced the first commercial realization in 1949.
Flechsig was an honorary member of the Television and Cinema Engineering Society. Werner Flechsig died on October 12, 1981, in Wolfenbüttel.
