# Mid-Holocene hemlock decline

The mid-Holocene hemlock decline was an abrupt decrease in Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) populations noticeable in fossil pollen records across the tree's range. It has been estimated to have occurred approximately 5,500 calibrated radiocarbon years before 1950 AD. The decline has been linked to insect activity and to climate factors. Post-decline pollen records indicate changes in other tree species' populations after the event and an eventual recovery of hemlock populations over a period of about 1000-2000 years at some sites.

## Causes

Some relatively earlier studies on this event link it to insect outbreaks (e.g. hemlock looper), while more recent research has argued for climate changes as the driving factors in this decline. Evidence used to point towards an insect outbreak includes sudden nature of the event and the debated assertion that similar trends were not shown in other species. Fossil evidence used to support the insect pathogen argument include the presence of fossil hemlock looper and spruce budworm head capsules, and more prevalent than normal macrofossil hemlock needles with evidence of feeding by the hemlock looper. Arguments for climate changes as the driving factor of this event include linking the decline in hemlock fossil pollen to trends from other tree species and to lake-level reconstructions from sediment cores and ground-penetrating radar that indicate a change to drier conditions. These climate changes may have been associated with shifts in atmospheric and ocean circulation. While its causes have been debated, this event may be used to provide insight into how modern forests may respond to pathogen outbreaks or to anthropogenic climate change.

## Post-decline dynamics

Increases in the fossil pollen of other tree species such as birch have been found at some sites following the decline in hemlock pollen. In some areas, hemlock fossil pollen indicates a recovery of the population that took place over the period from about 1000-2000 years after the decline, while in other areas, fossil pollen indicates that the hemlock population never fully recovered or that forest composition was forever altered following the event. A continuation of drought conditions may have delayed hemlock recovery in some areas.

# Södermanland Runic Inscription 270

Södermanland Runic Inscription 270 or Sö 270 is the Rundata catalog number for a Viking Age memorial runic inscription. It is located in Tyresta National Park, Tyresta, which is about two kilometers east of Brandbergen, Stockholm County, Sweden, which is in the historic province of Södermanland.

## Description

This runic inscription is carved into a gneiss rockface and is about 1.65 meters in height. It consists of runic text on a serpent that surrounds a Christian cross with a bird on top of it. This bird has been interpreted as being a cock. Placed on a cross, the cock would be interpreted as a Christian symbol meaning rebirth and vigilance, similar to weathercocks that are on top of churches today. A similar depiction of a bird on a cross is on the runestone fragment Sö 245 in Tungelsta. The head and tail of the serpent on Sö 270 are shown bound as if to prevent it from leaving the surface of the stone. The inscription is classified as being carved in either runestone style Pr3 or Pr4, which is also known as Urnes style. This runestone style is characterized by slim and stylized animals that are interwoven into tight patterns. The animal heads are typically seen in profile with slender almond-shaped eyes and upwardly curled appendages on the noses and the necks.
The runic text is in the younger futhark and states that the inscription is a memorial by a father named either Farbjôrn or Freybjôrn for his son Háulfr. If the father's name is Freybjôrn, it would contain the Norse pagan god Freyr as a theophoric name element and mean "Freyr Bear." The text also states that the inscription was carved by a runemaster named Halfdan, which is normalized as Halvdan. Although over fifteen other runestones in Södermanland have been attributed for stylistic reasons to this runemaster, this is the only surviving inscription that was signed by him. The other inscriptions listed in Rundata that are attributed to Halvdan based upon stylistic analysis include Sö 235 in Västerby, Sö 237 in Fors, Sö 239 in Häringe, Sö 244 in Tuna, Sö 245 in Tungelsta, the now-lost Sö 247 in Ålsta, Sö 252 in Säby, Sö 256 in Älby, Sö 262 in Blista, Sö 269 in Söderby Malm, Sö 272 in Upp-Norrby, Sö 274 in Södersluss, Sö 290 in Farsta, Sö 292 in Bröta, Sö 297 in Uppinge, Sö 298 in Uringe Malm, and Sö 301 in Ågesta Bro. For this inscription, Halvdan used a punctuation mark usually consisting of two dots between each word in the runic text.

# John Legg (ornithologist)

John Legg (c. 1755 – 1802) was an English amateur ornithologist and early researcher into migration. He has been identified by A C Smith (and this view was supported by Alfred Newton) as the true author of A discourse on the emigration of British Birds, a 1780 work which is perhaps the first to accurately and with some detail outline the modern theory of migration. Smith (1894) tells us that there is little known about his life but provides some details. He was born around 1765 and never married. He lived on his estate near Market Lavington on the northern edge of Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire and wrote. In addition to his more scientific work he also wrote articles for the Lady's Magazine.
In a lengthy footnote to one piece in Lady's Magazine, he announced the forthcoming publication of a two-volume Natural History of Birds, based on his original research. The work was never published, and the manuscript is lost.

## Selected publications

* (1780) A discourse on the emigration of British Birds - (also attributed, wrongly according to Smith, and to Newton (reported by Bircham), to George Edwards London, Printed for Stanley Crowder, Bookseller, no. 12, Paternoster-row.
* (1780) Treatise of the Art of Grafting and Inoculation
* (1789) Meditations and Reflections on the Most Important Subjects or Serious Soliloquies on Life, Death, Judgement, and Immortality

# Midrash Taame Haserot ve-Yeterot

Rabbinic literature :
Talmud Readers by Adolf Behrman :
Talmudic literature :
Halakhic Midrash :
Aggadic Midrash :
Targum :
vte :
Midrash Taame Haserot ve-Yeterot (Hebrew: מדרש טעמי חסרות ויתרות) is one of the smaller midrashim.

## Contents

It gives aggadic explanations not only of the words which are written defective or plene, as the title of the work implies, but also of a great number of those which are not read as they are written (comp. on the "ketib" in Wertheimer's ed., Nos. 8, 11, 13, 19, 21–30, 37, 51, 69, 89, 106, 111, 113, 124, 125, 127–129, 131, 134, 138–140, 181, and No. 12 on a word which is read without being written).
There are likewise notes on names and words which are read differently in different places (e.g., in Nos. 17, 20, 123, 126, 141, 142, 164, 172), on the hapax legomenon שמיכה in Judges 4:18 (No. 108), on the peculiar writing of certain words (e.g., No. 133 on לםרבה, Isaiah 9:6, and No. 163 on ההלכוא, Joshua 10:24), and on the suspended letters in Judges 18:30, Psalms 80:14, and Job 48:50 (Nos. 112-114).
The midrash may be termed, therefore, a Masoretic one, although it frequently deviates from the Masorah. The aggadic interpretations are mostly derived from scattered passages in the Talmud and midrashim, while the arrangement is capricious, the individual words being arranged neither according to the alphabet nor the sequence of Biblical books. In the different manuscripts and editions of it this midrash varies considerably, not only in the number and arrangement of the passages which it discusses, but also in the wording of individual interpretations. It is cited under its present title in the Tosafot, in the Sefer Mitzvot Gadol by Moses of Coucy, and by Asher ben Jehiel. It is called "Midrash Haserot ve-Yeterot" by Solomon Norzi. A brief extract from this work enumerating the words to be written "defective" or "plene," but omitting the reason therefor, is contained in Mahzor Vitry.
The work has been edited most completely by Wertheimer (Jerusalem, 1899).

## Related works

To the Masoretic midrashim belong also the explanations of passages read and not written, or written and not read which have been edited from an old grammatical and Masoretic miscellany in the Manuel du Lecteur of Joseph Derenbourg (Paris, 1871), and in Jacob Saphir's Eben Sappir, and reprinted by A. Jellinek.
# County Buildings, Airdrie

County Buildings was a judicial building on Bank Street in Airdrie in Scotland. The building, which was the venue for hearings of the Airdrie Sheriff Court, was demolished in 1969.

## History

The first judicial building in the town was the Airdrie Town House on the east side of Bank Street which incorporated a courtroom and a police station and was completed in 1810. In the mid-19th century, court officials decided to commission a purpose-built courthouse. The site they selected was on the west side of Bank Street, facing the town hall.
The foundation stone for the new building was laid on 31 July 1856. It was designed by James Thomson in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in around 1858. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of nine bays facing onto Bank Street. The central section of three bays featured a two-storey tetrastyle portico formed by four Doric order columns supporting an entablature with triglyphs and a modillioned pediment. The wings of three bays each were rusticated on the ground floor and fenestrated by sash windows on both floors. Internally, the principal room was the main courtroom, which accommodated hearings of the Airdrie Sheriff Court, the small debt court, the ordinary and debts recovery courts, the justice of the peace court, and the burgh court.
As well as being used as a courthouse, the building also hosted public events: a regimental banquet of the 7th Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteer Corps was held there in 1865.
In 1962, a building inspection revealed that County Buildings was structurally unsound, and, in the mid-1960s, hearings of Airdrie Sheriff Court were relocated to a temporary facility in Coatbridge. County Buildings was demolished in 1969 and replaced by a row of shops. In the early 1970s, a modern courthouse was erected in Graham Street to accommodate hearings of the Airdrie Sheriff Court, and, in June 2019, the justice of the peace court relocated to a site just opposite the new courthouse in Graham Street.
