# Richard Peck (British Army officer)

Richard Leslie Peck (born 27 May 1937) CB is a former English first-class cricketer and British Army officer. Peck served mostly with the Royal Engineers in a military career that spanned from 1957 to 1997, rising to the rank of major-general. He also played two first-class cricket matches for the Combined Services cricket team.

## Military career

Peck was educated at Wellingborough School, before attending the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He graduated from Sandhurst in December 1957, where upon he entered the Royal Engineers as a second lieutenant. In December 1959, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. Promotion to captain came in December 1963. He became a major in December 1969, with seniority antedated to June 1969. His promotion to lieutenant colonel followed in June 1974. He was promoted to the rank of colonel in December 1979, and to brigadier in December 1981, antedated to June 1981. Peck was appointed to the position of Chief in Engineer at the Ministry of Defence in January 1988, at which point he was also promoted to the substantive rank of major-general in February 1988, with seniority to January 1987. He was appointed as a companion to the Order of the Bath in the 1991 New Year Honours. In the lead up to military operations in the Gulf War, Peck was involved in terrain analysis. He relinquished the position of Chief in Engineer at the Ministry of Defence in August 1991. Though he retired from service in December 1991, he later served as colonel of the Brigade of Gurkhas, a position he had taken up in March 1993, until his tenure expired in April 1996, at which point he was replaced by major-general Anthony Pigott. His tenure as colonel commandant of the Royal Engineers expired in December 1997, a position he had held since October 1991, at which point he was succeeded by major-general John Drewienkiewicz. Following his retirement, Peck became a trustee of the Lord Kitchener Memorial Fund, which runs university scholarships for armed services members or their children.

## Cricket

Peck played two first-class cricket matches for the Combined Services cricket team, in 1960 against Surrey at The Oval, and in 1962 against Ireland at Belfast. He scored 24 runs across these two matches, as well as taking 2 wickets. These wickets came in the only over he bowled in first-class cricket, during the match against Ireland when he dismissed Stanley Bergin and Noel Ferguson for the cost of one run.
He later played minor counties cricket for Berkshire, making two appearances in the 1969 Minor Counties Championship and two further appearances in the 1971 Minor Counties Championship. His brother David also played cricket at first-class level.

# Atomotricha sordida

Atomotricha sordida is a moth in the family Oecophoridae first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1877. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed in the South Island in the Canterbury and Otago regions. The adult female of the species is brachypterous.

## Taxonomy

A. sordida was described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1877 using specimens collected by Dr. Hector and J. D. Enys in either Dunedin, Christchurch or Castle Hill. Butler originally named the species Oecophora sordida. In 1884 Edward Meyrick placed this species in the genus Brachysara. In 1914 Meyrick again reevaluated the placement of this species and placed it in the genus Atomotricha. Hudson discussed and illustrated this species in his 1928 book The Butterflies and Moths of New Zealand. The male holotype is held at the Natural History Museum, London.

## Description

Butler described this species as follows:
   Primaries pale shining brown; a small arched marking just beyond the end of the cell, the outer border, and fringe grey; secondaries silvery white; body testaceous: wings below silvery white, primaries slightly brownish; pectus (apparently) silvery white; legs and venter pale testaceous. Expanse of wings 10 lines.
Meyrick described the species as follows:
   Male. — 20-21 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax light, fuscous, somewhat mixed with darker. Antennae light fuscous. Abdomen ochreous-whitish. Legs ochreous-whitish, anterior pair obscurely suffused with fuscous. Fore-wings elongate, narrow, costa slightly arched, distinctly sinuate in middle, apex round-pointed, hindmargin extremely oblique, slightly rounded; light fuscous, sometimes slightly mixed with darker; a straight narrow tolerably well-defined blackish longitudinal streak somewhat above middle from base nearly to apex, tending to be very slightly interrupted at 1⁄3 and 2⁄3, rather suffused beneath towards apex and near base, sometimes entirely obsolete; when obsolete, there are sometimes visible an arched fuscous mark before 1⁄3 and another just beyond middle, which are usually obscured by the streak; a slender very obscure fuscous transverse line from 3⁄4 of costa to 3⁄4 of inner margin, twice angulated above middle, usually terminating the longitudinal streak, often obsolete : cilia light fuscous, with a cloudy blackish interrupted basal line. Hindwings whitish, slightly suffused with ochreous-grey towards costa; cilia whitish, with faint cloudy grey basal and apical lines.
Hudson stated that this species is similar in appearance to A. oeconoma and that the female of A. sordida resembles the female of A. oeconoma. However the brachypterous forewings of A. sordida have a blackish longitudinal streak and the hind wings are rudimentary.

## Distribution

This species is endemic to New Zealand. This species has been observed in the South Island, including in Castle Hill, Rakaia, Christchurch and Dunedin.
# Anton Irv

Anton Irv VR I/2, VR II/2, VR II/3 (17 September 1886 – 27 April 1919) was a highly decorated Estonian combat soldier and military officer during World War I and in the Estonian War of Independence.
Along with captain Karl Parts, he was the leader of Estonian armored trains in the Estonian War of Independence. Anton Irv died in the Battle of Egle (near Strenči) in Latvia.
Anton Irv was born in Sillaotsa farmstead, Ruudiküla village, Viljandi Parish, Viljandi County, Governorate of Livonia. Before World War I, Irv worked as a teacher.
During the World War I, he served in the Imperial Russian Army. He showed his good leading abilities and courage which led him to be decorated with all four classes of the Cross of St. George (the set of a "Full Cavalier"), the Médaille militaire and the Gold Sword for Bravery. In 1915 Irv was promoted to commissioned officer.
In the end of 1917 he came to Estonia, and helped to organize the Estonian military forces in order to fight against the Red Army in the Estonian War of Independence. Irv helped to organize the Division of Armoured Trains and became a commander of that unit in 23 January 1919.
After rushing the Red Army out of the Estonian territory in 1919, Estonian Southern front moved into the territory of Latvia and helped also to liberate the North of Latvia of the units of the Red Army. Irv was leading his unit in the battle near the railway station of Egle (near Strenči) in 27 April 1919, when he was suddenly killed.

# Bruce B. Brugmann

Bruce B. Brugmann was editor and publisher of the San Francisco Bay Guardian, a weekly alternative newspaper published in San Francisco. He co-founded the newspaper with his wife, Jean Dibble, in 1966.
Brugmann was born in Rock Rapids, Iowa. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Nebraska, where he was editor of the college newspaper, and a master's degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Brugmann spent two years in the Army as an infantryman and journalist, including a stint in South Korea, where he worked at the Stars and Stripes as a bureau chief. Brugmann spent a year working at the Lincoln Star, three years at the Milwaukee Journal, and three years at the now-defunct Redwood City Tribune.
Brugmann was one of the founders of the California First Amendment Coalition as well as the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies.
He is known as a passionate advocate for public access to public records. He won a Beacon Award from the California First Amendment Coalition. The Northern California Chapter of the Society for Professional Journalists, which he served as president of, gave him a Career Achievement Award. He served as a board member on the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force, which enforces San Francisco's public records rules.
In recent years, Brugmann usually maintained a low public profile in San Francisco. However, during a short lived advertising campaign in the mid-2000s, Brugmann became, literally, the face of the Bay Guardian. Advertisements featured photographs and graphic depictions of Brugmann appeared in print, on signs, and on the advertising panels of SF Muni buses. The text of the ads related to the functions of the Guardian, such as local news, relationships, classifieds. etc., and always concluded with the exhortation, "Read my paper, dammit!" With his features and his words being carried throughout the city on the sides of the buses, Bruce Brugmann was, for a short time, unavoidable.
# Torrens Linear Park

The Torrens Linear Park is a linear park that runs along the River Torrens in South Australia, spanning from the edge of Adelaide Hills in Athelstone to the coast in West Beach. Upon completion in 1997, it was the first linear park of its kind in Australia, and also the largest hills-to-coast park. The construction of the park began as a flood mitigation scheme along the River Torrens running westward from the Adelaide Hills, through the Adelaide metropolitan area, to the sea. Cyclists and walkers can use a trail that runs the 30 km (19 mi) length of the park, from Gorge Road, in Athelstone in the north-east, through the Northern Parklands of the City of Adelaide, to the river mouth at Henley Beach in the west. In the Parklands section, the river runs past many notable landmarks including the Adelaide Zoo, the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, the Festival Theatre and Elder Park.
There are shared-use pedestrian and cycling paths along both sides of the river for most of the length of the park, and along one side of the O-Bahn Busway.

## History

The valley of the River Torrens, particularly its lower reaches, had become badly polluted following European settlement in 1836. Land clearance lead to increased runoff and erosion, with major flood events occurring in 1917 and 1933. An artificial channel, Breakout Creek, was completed in 1937, diverting floodwaters directly to the sea, and opening up areas of the western suburbs to housing development, particularly after World War II. Rapid expansion of housing in the eastern suburbs also took place at this time. Awareness of the risk of increased runoff leading to further flooding events lead to various proposals for flood mitigation in the 1950s and 1960s, including converting the river to a concrete-lined channel, or an underground storm-water pipe below a major highway.
The Torrens Linear Park concept, using the river valley for combined use as urban open space with flood mitigation, was initially set out in the River Torrens Study (1979) and the River Torrens Flood Mitigation Study (1980). The River Torrens Linear Park and Flood Mitigation Scheme was approved by State Parliament in 1981. A further elaboration, the River Torrens Linear Park Study, included a transport option for a section of the park east of the CBD, which became the O-Bahn guided busway.
The scheme required the cooperation of the state government, responsible for land acquisition and flood mitigation works, and the then 12 (now 8) metropolitan councils bordering the river, responsible for landscaping and construction of cycling/walking trails. Construction works began in January 1982, and were completed in September 1997.
The Linear Park became protected against further development with the passing of the River Torrens Linear Park Act on 21 June 2006.
Between 2007 and 2008 a new aqueduct, an underground water pipe from Gorge Weir to the Hope Valley Reservoir, was constructed along an eastern section of the Linear Park, while the land formerly occupied by the open channel of the old Highbury Aqueduct was added to the Linear Park in 2012.
# Derek Pearson

Derek Brooke Pearson (born 29 March 1937) is an English former first-class cricketer who played from the mid-1950s until the early 1960s, taking over 200 wickets. He played all but two of his games for Worcestershire, who capped him in 1959; the others were for Combined Services.

## Career

Pearson's career was at times controversial. He was called for throwing in his second match in 1954, and in the opening match of the 1959 Indian tour, he was no-balled five times by umpire Syd Buller on the first day. He was no-balled again once in a County Championship match three weeks later, and then twice more in a match in 1960.
Pearson made his first-class debut for Worcestershire at Worcester against Cambridge University in June 1954, taking four wickets; his first victim was Colin Smith. He played one more first-class match that summer, but none at all in 1955 and just two in each of 1956 and 1957. In that last year, both appearances were for Combined Services: Pearson was in the Royal Air Force, for whose team he had appeared in a minor match against his county in 1956.
Pearson's first-class career really began in 1958: that season he played 24 times for Worcestershire and collected 62 wickets at 22.22, twice managing five wickets in an innings. He was capped the following season, and repaid his county with his best season's aggregate: 79 wickets, taken at 25.69 apiece. That year too he achieved his career-best bowling performance, claiming 6–70 against Leicestershire, picking up three more five-wicket hauls in the course of the season.
Pearson began 1960 as a first-team regular, and early in the year produced his best match figures, 11–145 against Glamorgan; he also took nine wickets in the game against Oxford University. He held his place until mid-season, but some disappointing figures then saw him drop into the Second XI, whence he did not re-emerge until August. He then played three County Championship games for a total return of just two wickets, and was out of the side again by the end of the season, ending with only 45 wickets for the summer.
Except for an early (and wicketless) outing against the Australians, Pearson was confined to the Second XI for the first half of 1961. However, he took plenty of wickets for the seconds, and was restored to the first team in mid-August, playing Worcestershire's last five matches of the season. Sadly for him, his promotion was not successful: despite four wickets in his first game back, against Nottinghamshire, he took only four more wickets in total. His career came to a quiet end against Sussex at Hove in early September, a game in which Pearson bowled just four overs.
After he retired from cricket he worked in the probation service, where "he became a national expert in divorce court liaison work".

# Infomax

Infomax, or the principle of maximum information preservation, is an optimization principle for artificial neural networks and other information processing systems. It prescribes that a function that maps a set of input values $x$ to a set of output values $z(x)$ should be chosen or learned so as to maximize the average Shannon mutual information between $x$ and $z(x)$, subject to a set of specified constraints and/or noise processes. Infomax algorithms are learning algorithms that perform this optimization process. The principle was described by Linsker in 1988. The objective function is called the InfoMax objective.
As the InfoMax objective is difficult to compute exactly, a related notion uses two models giving two outputs $z_{1}(x),z_{2}(x)$, and maximizes the mutual information between these. This contrastive InfoMax objective is a lower bound to the InfoMax objective.
Infomax, in its zero-noise limit, is related to the principle of redundancy reduction proposed for biological sensory processing by Horace Barlow in 1961, and applied quantitatively to retinal processing by Atick and Redlich.

## Applications

(Becker and Hinton, 1992) showed that the contrastive InfoMax objective allows a neural network to learn to identify surfaces in random dot stereograms (in one dimension).
One of the applications of infomax has been to an independent component analysis algorithm that finds independent signals by maximizing entropy. Infomax-based ICA was described by (Bell and Sejnowski, 1995), and (Nadal and Parga, 1995).
