# Mount Superior

Mount Superior (also known as Superior Peak) is an 11,045 feet (3,367 m) mountain peak in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Salt Lake County, Utah, United States.
With prominent visibility from Utah State Route 210 in Little Cottonwood Canyon, and being only 35 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, it is a popular hiking, climbing, and skiing destination.

## Routes

There are many ways to access the summit of Mount Superior, with the two most popular options being via the Cardiff Pass and South Ridge trails.

### Cardiff Pass

| Summit: | 11,045 feet (3,367 m) |
| Estimated Starting Elevation: | 8,675 feet (2,644 m) |
| Elevation Gain | 2,370 feet (722 m) |
| Average Total Distance: | 4.8 Miles |
| Rating: | Difficult |
The Cardiff Pass trail follows a well-maintained route starting in the town of Alta until it reaches Cardiff Pass. Once the pass has been reached, it skirts around Cardiff Peak along a ridge line to the summit.

### South Ridge

The summit can also be reached via the South Ridge. Considered a 5th class scramble or rock climb, the ascent can be made, depending on ones climbing experience and conditions, free solo or with ropes and other rock climbing equipment.

## Skiing and Snowboarding

There are various skiing and snowboarding lines that descend Mount Superior on all aspects.

### South Face

This descent is included in Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America and is rated S4 with slopes 35–45° with dangerous fall potential and a few terrain obstacles. It is also a part of The Chuting Gallery: A Guide to Steep Skiing in the Wasatch Mountains, a skiing guidebook for various Wasatch Range chutes.

### Suicide Chute or Shane's Chute

An obvious and prominent east-facing chute seen from Little Cottonwood Canyon, this line has been known by a few names, but is most commonly referenced as Suicide Chute. This descent has slopes upwards of 40° and is rated S4. The high walls of the chute shield the snowpack from direct sunlight, and it is not uncommon for it to remain skiable well into June.

# Joseph L. Birman

Joseph Leon Birman (May 21, 1927 in New York City – October 1, 2016 in New Rochelle) was an American theoretical solid-state physicist.

## Life

Birman was the son of a salesman. He went to the Bronx High School of Science (graduated in 1943) then studied at City College of New York, graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1947. He next attended Columbia University, gaining a master's degree in 1950 and a PhD in theoretical chemistry in 1952. He then spent about ten years at an electronics and telecommunications research lab (later GTE Research Labs in Queens) in New York where he studied the optical properties of semiconductors. From 1962 he was a professor at New York University and from 1974 professor at the City College of New York. Most recently, he was distinguished professor at CUNY.
From 1969 to 1970 he was a guest professor in Paris. In 1974 he became received an honorary doctorate from the University of Rennes.

Birman organized symposia in the 1970s between American and Soviet scientists in Moscow, New York and St. Petersburg. In particular, he mostly supported Jewish scholars in the Soviet Union, who were denied exit (Birman himself was the grandson of Jewish grandparents who emigrated from Russia). In the 1990s he organized a support program with Pierre Hohenberg for scientists who had emigrated to the United States, especially from Eastern Europe and China. In 2010, he received the Andrei Sakharov Prize of the American Physical Society, of whose Human Rights Committee he was a member of. In 2006, he received the Heinz R.

# Sawankhalok district

Sawankhalok (Thai: สวรรคโลก, pronounced) is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Sukhothai province, in the lower north of Thailand.

## Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Si Samrong, Thung Saliam, Si Satchanalai, Si Nakhon of Sukhothai Province, Phichai of Uttaradit province and Phrom Phiram of Phitsanulok province.

## History

The district was originally the capital district of Sawankhalok Province, which in 1932 was merged with Sukhothai Province. The new province was at first named Sawankhalok, but in 1939 was renamed Sukhothai and its capital district moved to Sukhothai district.
In 1917, the district was renamed from Mueang (เมือง) to Wang Mai Khon (วังไม้ขอน). In 1938 it was named Mueang Sawankhalok (เมืองสวรรคโลก), which was changed to Sawankhalok in 1939 following the provincial renaming.
In the 14th–16th centuries the area was a center of ceramics manufacture, Sangkhalok ceramic ware being its best-known example.

## Economy

Subdistrict Ban Klong Krachong in Sawankhalok district is the largest producer of fresh banana leaves in Thailand. More than 50% of Sukhothai's 14,215 rai of banana plantations are in Ban Klong Krachong. The banana leaf industry generated about 179 million baht for the community in 2018. Banana leaves are used for wrapping foodstuffs and crafts such as fashioning krathong. Sawankholok farmers grow kluay tani bananas (Musa balbisiana). The fruit of this wild species of banana is not eaten as it is full of seeds. But the leaves of kluay tani (กล้วยตานี) are prized for their large size and toughness. In 2018, 40 local banana leaf farmers formed a group, Klum Kasettakon Plaeng Yai, to produce biodegradable banana leaf tableware: plates and bowls initially. Although the initiative is in its early stages, the group have already received orders from Thailand and abroad.

## Administration

The district is divided into 14 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 143 villages (mubans). Suwankhalok is a town (thesaban mueang) and covers tambon Mueang Suwankhalok. There are a further 13 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

# Parapagetia

Parapagetia is an extinct genus from a well-known class of fossil marine arthropods, the trilobites. It lived during the Botomian stage, which lasted from approximately 524 to 518.5 million years ago. This faunal stage was part of the Cambrian Period.

## Distribution

* P. limbata is known from the Lower Cambrian of the Russian Federation (Botomian, Sanashtykgol, Gorno-Altayskaya, Katun River).
* P. plana has been found in the Lower Cambrian of the Russian Federation (Botomian, Sanashtykgol, Gorno-Altayskaya, Ul’men’River).

## Description

Like all Agnostida, the Hebediscidae are diminutive and the headshield (or cephalon) and tailshield (or pygidium) are of approximately the same size (or isopygous) and outline. In Parapagetia the glabella has parallel sides and is relatively short, slightly over half as long as the cephalon. The rear of the glabella does not carry a spine or it is short. The distance between the front of the glabella and the poorly defined anterior border is long. The axis of the pygidium consists of five rings including the terminus. The border and border furrow are together wide, but poorly defined.
