# Mark Jay Mirsky

Mark Jay Mirsky (born 1939 in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American writer and professor of English at City College of New York.

## Work

Mirsky's first three novels (Thou Worm Jacob, Proceedings of the Rabble, and Blue Hill Avenue) present a humorous and scathing portrait of the Jewish community of and around Blue Hill Avenue in Dorchester. He also published a pair of novellas under the name The Secret Table. The first story, "Dorchester, Home and Garden," deals with a man who returns to the burnt-out Jewish district on Blue Hill Avenue, and the second, "Onan's Child", retells the biblical story of Onan.
Mirsky's later, more experimental, works include The Red Adam, a novel written in the form of a "discovered" document unearthed in a Massachusetts library sometime in the 1940s. Mirsky also wrote several books of nonfiction including My Search for the Messiah: Studies and Wanderings in Israel and America and The Absent Shakespeare. His 2003 book, Dante, Eros, and Kabbalah, combines literary criticism, Jewish mysticism, and personal narrative.
Mirsky edited and wrote the introduction for Diaries: Robert Musil 1899-1942, and published several works and articles in The Partisan Review, New Directions Annual, The Boston Sunday Globe, and The New York Times Book Review. He is editor of Fiction, a literary magazine at City College which he co-founded in 1972 with Donald Barthelme and Max Frisch.
One of Mirsky's plays, Mother Hubbard's Cupboard, was performed as part of the 2007 New York International Fringe Festival.

# Chōhei Kambayashi

Chōhei Kambayashi (神林長平, Kanbayashi Chōhei) (born July 10, 1953) is a Japanese science fiction writer.
Born in Niigata, Kambayashi graduated Nagaoka National College of Technology. He debuted in 1979 with the short story "Dance with a Fox", which was an honorable mention of the 5th Hayakawa SF Contest. He quickly became fan favorite, and he won the Seiun Award eight times (five for novels, three for short stories) during his career. In a 2006 SF Magazine poll he was ranked third best Japanese SF writer of all time; and in 2014 poll, the second.
Kambayashi received Nihon SF Taishō Award in 1995 for Kototsubo. He was the chairman of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of Japan in 2001-2003.
His writing often blurs reality and alternate reality. Early works, such as May Peace Be On Your Soul, were often compared to Philip K. Dick, as Kambayashi himself acknowledges that Dick's works led him to science fiction writing.
Probably his most popular work is Yukikaze. It was made into an animated video series in 2002-2005.
Another popular work, Enemy Is Pirate, which consists of nine books (as of 2013), is a lighter toned space opera series. There was an animated video series released in 1989.
# The Best American Short Stories 1988

The Best American Short Stories 1988, a volume in The Best American Short Stories series, was edited by Shannon Ravenel and by guest editor Mark Helprin. In announcing the publication of this annual edition, Publishers Weekly noted that it is an "at times inspired anthology which draws from small and big-gun literary magazines in equal measures [and] is heralded by a sonorous, sagacious introduction..." while the reviewer at Kirkus Reviews described Mark Helprin's introduction as a "John-Gardneresque screed."

# CSS Lark

The Lark was a paddle steamer employed by the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. She was the last blockade runner to successfully escape from a Southern port before the Union blockade completely closed off this vital source of supplies.
Lark was designed and built by John Laird & Sons. The ship made four successful round trips through the blockade between Galveston, Texas, and Havana, Cuba. In April 1865, she ran aground near the entrance to Galveston harbor. Two launches dispatched from the Union blockading squadron attacked the Lark, which managed to fend off the assault with help from Confederate ground forces. On May 24, she dashed into Galveston again and managed to slip through the blockade back out to open sea, the last Confederate blockade runner to do so.

# Helicophagus

Helicophagus is a genus of shark catfishes native to Southeast Asia.

## Species

There are currently three recognized species in this genus:
* Helicophagus leptorhynchus Ng & Kottelat, 2000
* Helicophagus typus Bleeker, 1857
* Helicophagus waandersii Bleeker, 1858
H. leptorhynchus is known from the Chao Phraya and Mekong River drainages in Indochina. H. typus inhabits rivers of Sumatra and southeast Borneo. H. waandersii is known from medium- to large-sized rivers of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia.
H. leptorhynchus grows to about 47.2 centimetres (18.6 in) SL. H. typus reaches a length of about 37.7 cm (14.8 in) TL. H. waandersii has a maximum recorded length of about 70.0 cm (27.6 in) TL.
The stomachs of the specimens of H. waandersii are more or less filled with mollusks, usually bivalves. H. waandersii enters flooded forests. H. waandersii migrates upstream when water levels begin to rise at the beginning of the flood season and moves downstream as water clears at the end of the flood season.
Unlike H. waandersii, H. leptorhynchus stays in permanent river channels and does not move into flooded forests. However, it also migrates upstream and downstream with changes in the water level. H. leptorhynchus feeds primarily on bivalves.

# Shaw-Van Gilder House

The Shaw-Van Gilder House is a historic house located at 306 E. Crawford St. in Paris, Illinois. Elvis Perry Shaw, a local businessman and mercantile clerk, built the house in 1853. The house is an example of an I-house, a vernacular style named for its popularity in the three Midwestern states beginning with "I". Characteristic features of the I-house which can be seen in the Shaw-Van Gilder House include the five symmetrical bays on its front and its central interior corridor. The house's design was also influenced by the Greek Revival and Italianate styles; the former style can be seen in the home's front entrance, windows, and roof, while the latter can be seen in its bracketed porch. Shaw and his family lived in the house until 1941, when Shaw's descendants sold the property to the Van Gilder family.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 5, 2007.

# Mijamin Priest

Mijamin Priest (December 23, 1808 – 1884) was a religious leader and state legislator in Alabama and then Texas. He also became a lawyer and was a delegate at the Texas Constitutional Convention held in 1868 and 1869.
He was born near Huntsville, Alabama. Orphaned, he moved to Moulton, Alabama. He became a Presbyterian clergyman. He served in the Alabama House of Representatives from 1836 until 1839. He ran for the State Senate as member of the Whig Party but lost and took up the study of law.
Priest moved to Texas where he had family and friends. He was elected to the Texas Senate in a contested 1870 election. He represented Cherokee County, Texas and was part of the contentious Twelfth Texas Legislature. Priest was involved in contentious efforts to institute martial law. Thirteen senators walked out, a move that denied a quorum and the sergeant at arms brought several legislators back and several were arrested. Priest became a judge. He removed a Democratic judge seen as biased against Republicans and African Americans whose brother went on to become governor. Proceedings were held to remove Priest and others from office in 1874. He was removed as Democrats regained power in the waning years of the Reconstruction era. The University of Texas has a journal he kept. A pictorial history of his life and his descendants was published as well as a book titled Mijamin Priest and his Family: from William Penn's Colony to East Texas.
# The Nunnery, Douglas

The Nunnery is an estate outside of Douglas on the Isle of Man, named after a religious foundation on the site, at grid reference SC372754.
The Nunnery is located on Old Castletown Road, Braddan. In 1999, the estate was acquired for the Isle of Man International Business School, now part of the University College Isle of Man.

## History
### Monastic era

The Priory of Douglas was a monastery of nuns, possibly dating to the reign of Rǫgnvaldr Guðrøðarson, King of the Isles (1187-1226). King Robert Bruce spent the night at the nunnery on Sunday, May 22, 1313 prior to beginning his siege of Castle Rushen the next day. He took the castle three weeks later. The nunnery was suppressed as part of the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII in 1540. Nothing remains of the monastery. In 1610, the Nunnery was granted to the Earl of Derby by King James.

### Post Dissolution

The buildings were acquired by Richard Calcot, Comptroller of the Isle of Man, who is said to have married the last Prioress, Margaret Goodman. The family occupied a house on the site until their descendants, the Heywoods, sold it to the Taubmans in 1776. A new mansion was built for John Taubman in 1823. It was designed by John Pinch the elder and his son, John Pinch the younger, of Bath, built in the "Strawberry Hill" Gothic Revival style. The only surviving monastic building, St. Bridget's Chapel, served as a coach house for centuries, but it was restored to its original use as a place of worship in the 1880s. The building was used in this manner until 1998, when new owners evicted the congregation, and it was deconsecrated as a chapel.
The mansion remained in the possession of the Taubman family: George Taubman Goldie was born here in 1846. This remained the case until the estate was acquired by the Isle of Man International Business School in 1999 to serve as their site of operations, following which the Isle of Man University Centre was established there in 2008. The Nunnery also served as the home of Culture Vannin until its relocation to St. John's in 2016.

# Switch virtual interface

A switch virtual interface (SVI) represents a logical layer-3 interface on a switch.
VLANs divide broadcast domains in a LAN environment. Whenever hosts in one VLAN need to communicate with hosts in another VLAN, the traffic must be routed between them. This is known as inter-VLAN routing. On layer-3 switches it is accomplished by the creation of layer-3 interfaces (SVIs). Inter VLAN routing, in other words routing between VLANs, can be achieved using SVIs.
SVI or VLAN interface, is a virtual routed interface that connects a VLAN on the device to the Layer 3 router engine on the same device. Only one VLAN interface can be associated with a VLAN, but you need to configure a VLAN interface for a VLAN only when you want to route between VLANs or to provide IP host connectivity to the device through a virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance that is not the management VRF. When you enable VLAN interface creation, a switch creates a VLAN interface for the default VLAN (VLAN 1) to permit remote switch administration.
SVIs are generally configured for a VLAN for the following reasons:
* Allow traffic to be routed between VLANs by providing a default gateway for the VLAN.
* Provide fallback bridging (if required for non-routable protocols).
* Provide Layer 3 IP connectivity to the switch.
* Support bridging configurations and routing protocol.
* Access Layer - 'Routed Access' Configuration (in lieu of Spanning Tree)
SVIs advantages include:
* Much faster than router-on-a-stick, because everything is hardware-switched and routed.
* No need for external links from the switch to the router for routing.
* Not limited to one link. Layer 2 EtherChannels can be used between the switches to get more bandwidth.
* Latency is much lower, because it does not need to leave the switch
An SVI can also be known as a Routed VLAN Interface (RVI) by some vendors.
