# Silver iodide

Silver iodide is an inorganic compound with the formula AgI. The compound is a bright yellow solid, but samples almost always contain impurities of metallic silver that give a grey colouration. The silver contamination arises because some samples of AgI can be highly photosensitive. This property is exploited in silver-based photography. Silver iodide is also used as an antiseptic and in cloud seeding.

## Structure

The structure adopted by silver iodide is temperature dependent:
* Below 420 K, the β phase of AgI, with the wurtzite structure, is most stable. This phase is encountered in nature as the mineral iodargyrite.
* Above 420 K, the α phase becomes more stable. This motif is a body-centered cubic structure which has the silver centers distributed randomly between 6 octahedral, 12 tetrahedral and 24 trigonal sites. At this temperature, Ag$^+$ ions can move rapidly through the solid, allowing fast ion conduction. The transition between the β and α forms represents the melting of the silver (cation) sublattice. The entropy of fusion for α-AgI is approximately half that for sodium chloride (a typical ionic solid). This can be rationalized by considering the AgI crystalline lattice to have already "partly melted" in the transition between α and β polymorphs.
* A metastable γ phase also exists below 420 K with the zinc blende structure.

## Preparation and properties

Silver iodide is prepared by reaction of an iodide solution (e.g., potassium iodide) with a solution of silver ions (e.g., silver nitrate). A yellowish solid quickly precipitates. The solid is a mixture of the two principal phases. Dissolution of the AgI in hydroiodic acid, followed by dilution with water, precipitates β-AgI. Alternatively, dissolution of AgI in a solution of concentrated silver nitrate followed by dilution affords α-AgI. Unless the preparation is conducted in dark conditions, the solid darkens rapidly, the light causing the reduction of ionic silver to metallic. The photosensitivity varies with sample purity.

## Cloud seeding

The crystalline structure of β-AgI is similar to that of ice, allowing it to induce freezing by the process known as heterogeneous nucleation. Approximately 50,000 kg are used for cloud seeding annually, each seeding experiment consuming 10–50 grams. (see also Project Stormfury, Operation Popeye).

## Safety

Extreme exposure can lead to argyria, characterized by localized discolouration of body tissue.
# Frederick Newman (English cricketer)

Frederick Charles William Newman (1896-1966) was an English cricketer whose first-class career spanned three decades between the two World Wars.
Newman was a right-handed opening or middle order batsman. He was born on 2 February 1892 in Luton, Bedfordshire and educated at Bedford Modern School where he first played for the first XI at the age of 13. In 1912, whilst still at school, he was selected to play for Bedfordshire and in 1914 played for the Leicestershire second XI.
After the War Newman joined Surrey and in 1919 made his debut against Cambridge University at Kennington Oval, scoring 54 in the county's first innings. Surrey's powerful batting line-up at this time included Jack Hobbs, Andrew Sandham, Andy Ducat and Percy Fender and Newman was unable to secure a regular first-team place; playing in only five of their first-class matches up to 1921 when he left the county. He also played a single first-class match for H.D.G. Leveson-Gower's XI in 1919 against Oxford University.
In 1926 he was appointed Private Secretary to Sir Julien Cahn, the retail magnate and cricket benefactor. Newman was responsible for organising Cahn's invitational side, including its overseas tours from 1928. Sir Julien Cahn's XI was accorded first-class status between 1932–38, and Newman played several matches, making his highest score of 101 against Leicestershire at West Bridgford in 1935.
After Cahn's death in 1938 Newman continued to play competitive cricket and turned out for Nottinghamshire in non-first-class matches between 1942-44.
In all, Newman scored 442 first-class runs at an average of 23.26, making one century and two fifties. He was also an occasional right-arm bowler and took one first-class wicket at the cost of 80 runs.
Frederick Newman died on 1 January 1966 at Malpas, Cornwall.

# Herb Lindsay

Herb Lindsay (born November 12, 1954) is an American former long-distance runner. He competed in track, road and cross country running disciplines. He was the silver medalist in the 5000-meter run at the 1979 Pan American Games, finishing behind compatriot Matt Centrowitz. He also represented his country at the 1982 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, coming 69th overall and sixth in the team rankings.

## Career

Born in Michigan, he grew up in a rural area in Grand Rapids, then Reed City. He was the youngest of six children, with three older sisters and two brothers. He attended Reed City High School and began racing there, earning high school state championships in cross country and distance track events.
After gaining a track scholarship, he competed athletically for the Michigan State Spartans and was an NCAA All-American for them in cross country in 1974 and 1976. He placed third at the 1976 NCAA Division I Men's Cross Country Championships. He was a one-time national champion, taking the 10K run American title in 1979, becoming the second man to win the title after Bill Rodgers (runner). Lindsay's winning time of 28:35 minutes remained the championship best until 1996, when it was beaten by Matt Giusto. His best national placing on the track was at the 1979 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, where he was third in the 5000 m. He also won a 5000 m title at the U.S. Olympic Festival in 1979 and was the 1979 runner-up at the USA Cross Country Championships behind Alberto Salazar.
On the road running circuit, Lindsay was highly successful, with his best performance being a world record of 61:47 minutes for the half marathon in Manchester, Vermont in 1981. This record stood for one day short of a year, with Michael Musyoki knocking eleven seconds of the record. During his career he won the Saint Silvester Road Race, Bolder Boulder, Fifth Third River Bank Run, the Crim 10-miler (three times) and the Cascade Run Off (twice). He was also runner-up at the Falmouth Road Race twice. He played a part in professionalization of the sport, with races between him and other top road racers such as Frank Shorter and Stan Mavis leading to the setting up of trust funds, allowing them to be paid yet retain their amateur (and thus Olympics-eligible) status.

# Calligrapha conjuncta

Calligrapha conjuncta is a species of leaf beetle belonging to the family Chrysomelidae, in the subgenus Zygogramma, which was formerly a genus.

## Description

Calligrapha conjuncta is a small leaf beetle with a brown pronotum and yellow elytra marked with elongated brown stripes. The species C. conjuncta was formerly believed to contain two subspecies, conjuncta and pallida (Bland, 1864), but recent research reveals that pallida is a separate species.

## Distribution and habitat

Calligrapha conjuncta is native to North America.
Adult beetles are associated generally with plants of the family Asteraceae) including Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Flourensia cernua, and Helianthus annuus (common sunflower). They have also been associated with Brassica campestris (field mustard), Descurainia sophia (tansy mustard), and Atriplex, though not as a food source.
# Alan Watt (cricketer)

Alan Edward Watt (19 June 1907 – 3 February 1974) was an English cricketer. A fast-medium bowler and aggressive lower-order batsman, Watt made 230 appearances in first-class cricket, in the most part for Kent County Cricket Club.
Born in Limpsfield Chart, Watt's first-class career began while Kent's star spin bowler Tich Freeman was at the height of his powers. Watt was therefore used primarily to take the shine off the ball in preparation for Freeman's imminent bowling spell. After the retirement of Freeman, Watt struck up an effective opening bowling partnership with all-rounder Leslie Todd, and took 108 wickets in the 1937 season. A tireless bowler, Watt could achieve late swing, which accounted for many of his victims.
As a batsman, Watt was renowned as an aggressive player, forming a trio with Middlesex's Jim Smith and Somerset's Arthur Wellard well known for hitting sixes. Watt and Wellard would both play for the London Counties cricket team during the Second World War, entertaining crowds during the 1941 season. Technically Watt excelled with the drive and the pull.
Later in life he kept the Star Inn in Matfield, before he died in Pembury Hospital in 1974.

# Mother Nature's Son (album)

Mother Nature's Son is a studio album recorded by Ramsey Lewis which was released on Cadet Records in 1968. The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums chart and No. 10 on the Billboard Top Soul Albums chart.

## Overview

Mother Nature's Son was produced by Charles Stepney and consists of ten instrumental versions of songs from The Beatles' album The Beatles, also known as "the White Album".

## Recording

The album was recorded at Ter Mar Studio, Chicago, in December 1968, a short time after the 22 November 1968 release of The Beatles album. It was recorded live with members from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with Lewis on piano. Offering a potential clue as to why Lewis had recorded an album of Beatles songs, producer and arranger Charles Stepney expressed his admiration for the sounds achieved by Beatles producer George Martin in a 1970 interview with Down Beat. Lewis in Mojo magazine said "I wasn't a Beatles fan. I'd recorded A Hard Day's Night, Day Tripper and And I Love Her before, but I didn't really get them. But my producer Charles Stepney told me to think about doing a Beatles covers album. I didn't think that they had enough songs to do an entire album but he gave me a copy of the White Album and told me to listen. I did, but couldn't see how I could do anything with it. He was like 'You didn't really listen.' So he arranged a few songs for me and then it was, I get it now." In the Down Beat interview Lewis said that he produced the "electronic texture" effect on the album using the Moog synthesizer, an instrument he anticipated "working with for about 10 years". During the following year the Beatles used the Moog synthesizer in the recording of their final studio album, Abbey Road.

## Cover art

The album cover was designed by Jerry Griffith and depicts Lewis sitting at a grand piano in a tropical garden feeding a rabbit with his right hand while holding another rabbit with his left.
