# Nikki Awesome & The Royal Society

Nikki Awesome & The Royal Society is a Canadian electropop group from Toronto, Ontario, formed in 2007. The group had three members—lead vocalist Nikki "Awesome" Milovanovic and hip-hop artists Christopher "Plus Mo" Wright and Ryan "Slink Breezy Esq" Reid, and performed Pop music and Hip hop music.

## History

In July 2008, the band performed for the first time at Toronto's Wrongbar. That year, they released the single "You Say it was Supposed To Be", which used interpolation from the New Order song "Bizarre Love Triangle" in its chorus. The song got the attention of Care Failure (Caroline Kawa), frontwoman for the band Die Mannequin, who had just founded the label How To Kill Records through Warner Music Canada. The band was the label's first signee and Failure gave Awesome a brief appearance in Die Mannequin's video for "Saved By Strangers".
In September 2008, Slink Breezy witnessed the theft of the KITT car from the Knight Rider series, which was filming in downtown Toronto. The incident was later revealed to be a publicity stunt. Breezy posted the pictures and story on the group's Myspace page, and the story went viral, generating thousands of plays for the group, who were still relatively unknown.
Following receipt of a grant from Much Music's VideoFACT (MuchFACT), The Royal Society released a video for "You Say it was Supposed To Be", which was directed by Davin Black. Black cast Awesome as a Film noir Femme fatale, and Plus Mo and Breezy as detectives in pursuit. The video was added into rotation to Much Music and MuchMore Music (M3) in January 2009, and charted in the Top 10. The song also charted in the top 10 for Canadian radio.
In 2009, now without a label, The Royal Society released two singles, both with videos directed by Black: "All The Little Things" and "You Say". The video for "All The Little Things" was filmed in Peter Gatien's Circa nightclub; the single and video lingered in the top 20 but did not lead to an album deal. The band released their own EP, The Nouveau Riche EP.
Following a tour supporting Flo Rida, Awesome attended the MuchMusic Video Awards alone, and did an interview with Jesse Giddings on MuchOnDemand.
The trio continued to perform together until 2010. In March 2010, Awesome performed alone at Club XS in Toronto during Canadian Music Week, and discussed her launch of DOLLS.
Awesome moved to London and launched DOLLS in 2013. Plus Mo launched his debut project, Cassette Tape $#!+ in 2018.

# TON S180

TON S180 (abbreviation of Tonantzintla S180) is a Seyfert galaxy located in the southern constellation of Cetus. It is located 827 million light years from Earth. The galaxy is classified as a quasi-stellar object (QSO) because of its high luminosity and is located 3.6 degrees northeast from NGC 253, and 2.8 degrees southeast from NGC 247.

## Discovery and observation

TON S180 was first discovered in the year 1958 by Mexican astronomers who catalogued the object as entry number 180 under the Tonantzintla Blue Stellar Object Survey. In 1962 the object was then catalogued as PHL 912 by the Palomar-Haro-Luyten Survey. Subsequently, in 1980 and 1995, TON S180 was detected as an ultraviolet emitter by the Kiso Schmidt Camera Survey and the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer.

## Characteristics

TON S180 is categorized a narrow-line Seyfert galaxy. It has a prototype 'bare' active galactic nucleus with a total infrared luminosity of L$_{bol}$ ~ 5 x10$^{45}$ erg s$^{−1}$, but no traces of absorption. The galaxy has a vertical soft X-ray spectrum measuring a photon index of Γ = 2.68 and a Hβ width measuring 900 km s$^{−1}$. In addition, TON S180 has a short galactic column density along the line of sight, approximately N$_H$ = 1.52 x 10$^{20}$ cm$^{−2}$. It has an absolute magnitude of M$_B$ = -23.1 and an estimated central black hole mass of M ~ 2 x 10$^7$ M$_Θ$. According to a spectral energy distribution presented for TON S180, it is shown more energy is emitted in the 10-100 eV band.
The host galaxy of TON S180 is a spiral galaxy of type SABa classification. The galaxy appears as a star-like object found obscured by its own circular halo. It contains a sharp and narrow iron line, as well as having a smooth soft excess unable to be produced by relativistic reflection based on observations of its X-ray spectrum.
TON S180 is known to be extremely variable compared to other Seyfert galaxies. Every few thousand seconds, its X-ray flux would show a factor of 2 variability, which, comparing to both the 0.5-2 and 2-10 keV bands, the former has a significantly high σ 2 root mean square. According to the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer, which acquired a high-resolution spectra for the galaxy, TON S180 shows ultraviolet absorption by five-times ionized oxygen but no hydrogen absorption, indicating its absorbing gas is currently in a high ionization state.
# David Firth (animator)

David Firth (born 1982 or 1983) is an English animator. He created the animated web series Salad Fingers (2004–present) and co-wrote the horror comedy film Kuso (2017).

## Early life

Firth was born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, in 1982 or 1983, the son of artists Rosemary and Graham Firth. He began creating stop-motion animation when he was 13 years old, using Lego and other toys. He studied animation at the Hull campus of the University of Lincoln and further studied television and film.

## Career

In July 2004, Firth created the animated web series Salad Fingers, which was released on Newgrounds. The series was created using Adobe Flash, and David became a notable figure in the medium of Flash animation. Ten episodes were released from 2004 to 2013, and an eleventh episode was released in 2019. Having accumulated roughly 110 million video views on YouTube as of 2020, the series is considered to have a cult following.
Since his start on Newgrounds, Firth released several different flash animations, contributed animation to the BBC television series Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe, and voiced the character Shrimp in the third episode of the Adult Swim animated series Smiling Friends. Firth also co-created the comedy rapper character MC Devvo, a dimwitted chav performed by his friend Christian Webb, for a series of videos that satirised the music scene of Doncaster's white working class. In 2022, he contributed an animated segment to Justin Roiland's The Paloni Show! Halloween Special on Hulu. As of 2023, Firth has been developing a video game based on his animated series Jerry Jackson.
In 2014, he created the animated music video for the Flying Lotus song "Ready Err Not", which Pitchfork described as disturbing and highly graphic. Flying Lotus referred to Firth as one of his favourite animators. Firth also co-wrote the 2017 body horror feature film Kuso, which was co-written and directed by Flying Lotus. In 2016, he created the animated short film Cream, which tells the story of a scientist who creates a miracle cream that solves all of the world's problems until it gets out of control. It screened at Regent Street Cinema in London on 16 November that year and featured the voice of Flying Lotus. The two also co-directed the video for Flying Lotus' song "Fire Is Coming" featuring David Lynch.

## Style

Ryan Ball, writing for Animation Magazine, describes his animations as "a brilliant and original hodgepodge of hilarity, stupidity and unshakable creepiness". Firth says that he "[takes] inspiration from the unpredictability of dreams", and describes applying this style as difficult because of the lack of spontaneity in producing animation.
# Norman Blacklock

Sir Norman James Blacklock KCVO OBE FRCS (5 February 1928 – 7 September 2006) was a surgeon in the Royal Navy and later a consultant in urology and professor of medicine at Manchester University. He served as Medical Officer to The Queen on her overseas tours for 17 years, from 1976 to 1993. He became known to the accompanying press corps as "the Queen's Witch Doctor", and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh nicknamed him "Hemlock". He was appointed an Extra Gentleman Usher in 1993.
Blacklock was born in Glasgow. His family were doctors with leanings towards the Royal Navy. Evacuated from his home in the Second World War, he was educated McLaren High School in Callander, and read medicine at Glasgow University. He worked as a junior registrar at Glasgow Royal Infirmary and the Western Infirmary in Glasgow, and then did National Service in the Royal Navy from 1951, serving on board HMS Theseus and HMS Warrior, treating trauma cases.
He returned to medicine in 1954, working as a surgical registrar and lecturer in surgery at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, and then at hospitals in Ipswich and London from 1956. He married Marjorie Reid in 1956, and they had one daughter (Fiona) and one son (Neil) together, both of whom became doctors.
He rejoined the Royal Navy in 1958 to help fill a shortage of surgeons, and served at Navy hospitals in Chatham, Plymouth, Malta and Haslar in Gosport. At Gosport, he started to specialise in urology, founding a new department.
He was appointed the director of surgical research in the Royal Navy in 1974, when he was also appointed OBE. He stood in as Medical Officer to the Queen on a royal visit to Luxembourg in 1976, when the incumbent surgeon fell ill at the last minute, and he continued in that role until 1993. He was always well prepared: the HMY Britannia contained a full operating theatre; aircraft of the Queen's Flight carried emergency medical equipment; and he carried a case containing medical supplies, a resuscitator and a defibrillator; but his services were seldom required. He also co-ordinated with local hospitals, and ensured that food served in host countries was acceptable. In Belize, he approved a local delicacy, the gibnut (a large rodent). He was appointed CVO in 1989, and advanced to KCVO and appointed an Extra Gentleman Usher in 1993, after his last royal tour to Hungary. In 1990, Blacklock was awarded the New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal.
After retiring from the Royal Navy in 1978, with the rank of Surgeon Captain, he became professor of urology at Victoria University of Manchester. He was based at the Withington Hospital in south Manchester, where he set up the first NHS lithotriptor unit, using ultrasound to break down kidney stones. He published over 80 academic papers and contributed to numerous textbooks. He gave up his chair in 1992.
He died on the afternoon of his 50th wedding anniversary after a fall on a staircase in Portsmouth.
# Charles A. Spencer

Charles A. Spencer was an American scientific pioneer and inventor, who is widely believed to have developed the first American-made achromatic objective microscope. He was born in 1813 in Madison County, NY and died in 1881.

## Microscopy

Spencer’s first microscopes were available for purchase in 1838. Previous to Spencer’s invention, European manufacturers held a monopoly on research-quality microscopic equipment. At least one of Spencer’s microscopes survives and is currently held by the Smithsonian Institution.

## Business

In 1854, Spencer formed a partnership with A.K. Eaton for the manufacture of high quality microscopes, which was located in Canastota, NY, USA. This partnership would prove successful, with back-orders from all over the world reportedly exceeding $20,000 US in the currency of the day.
A “crippling” fire in 1873 however, would lead to the failure and dissolution of this original partnership. Following a move to Geneva, NY, and a brief partnership with Geneva Optical Works, a new business was founded that included Spencer's sons in 1877 called “Charles A. Spencer & Sons.”

## Honors and tributes

Despite not seeking recognition for their work in the trade, in 1878 the Spencer's microscopes would receive the Paris Universal Exposition Exposition Universelle (1878) highest award, the Grand Gold Medal, for excellence in their optics.
In 1884, ground was broken in Rochester, NY for the foundation of a monument to Spencer and his peer, Robert B. Tolles to provide an enduring honor of their achievements in American microscopy, and the scientific advances that grew from it.
A memorial fund was also established as an endowment, which would grant "not more than $100" each year, to be used for research purposes by the recipient.

## Legacy

In 1895, Herbert R. Spencer continued his father's work with the establishment of the Spencer Lens Company, based in Buffalo, NY. The company was later purchased by the American Optical Company. In 1967, Warner Lambert Pharmaceutical acquired the company which, after changing hands several times, ultimately came to be known as Reichert Technologies, Inc. In 2011, the company became a part of AMETEK.
