# Jackdaw (novel)

Jackdaw is a literary horror novel by British-Nigerian author Tade Thompson. It was published in 2022 by Cheerio Publishing.

## Plot

Jackdaw is a novel of metafiction, written by a fictional version of the author himself, who receives a request to write a book inspired by the work of the Irish painter Francis Bacon. During the execution of this commission, Thompson, who is attempting to enter the mind of the artist by exploring his psychology, first develops a sexual fixation with Henrietta Moraes, one of Bacon's models, has a number of alarming encounters with the ghost of Bacon's nanny; seeks release in sexual experimentation with the help of a professional dominatrix, and experiences distressing fugues. Thompson, like the author himself, is a mental health worker as well as a writer of science fiction, and his obsession impacts on both his professional and his family life. While he attempts to keep up a pretence of normality for the sake of his family, a bizarre flesh-sculpture appears and grows in Thompson's attic study, reflecting both his own deteriorating state of mind and his possession by Bacon's influence.
When Thompson finally suffers a complete breakdown and is committed to a mental health institution, his obsession is found to be linked to a frontal lobe injury, which doctors assure him is curable.

## Themes

Themes of the book include: Yoruba religious practice; the "blurred lines between creativity and madness," as well as "the thinness of the boundary between art and artist, subject and object."

## Background

On writing the novel, Thompson says: "Science fiction led me to Bacon. The xenomorph in Alien was designed by H.Giger, who took inspiration from a Bacon painting."
Thompson explains in interview that the protagonist of Jackdaw is not himself, although they happen to share the same name, the same agent, profession and family situation. He says: "The name was a stumbling block. I kept reminding myself that this dude was not me, therefore there was no dignity to hold on to."

## Reception

Jackdaw was longlisted for a 2022 British Science Fiction Award in the Best Novel category
Lisa Tuttle, writing for The Guardian, describes Jackdaw as: "A wild, darkly comic nightmare set on the borderlines of creativity, imagination and madness."
# Giuseppe Moioli

Giuseppe Moioli (born 8 August 1927) is an Italian rower who competed in the 1948 Summer Olympics, in the 1952 Summer Olympics, and in the 1956 Summer Olympics.
Moioli was born in Olcio di Mandello Lario in 1927. A worker at the Italian motorbike manufacturer Moto Guzzi based at their plant in Mandello del Lario, he became a member of the company's rowing team, Canottieri Moto Guzzi. A coxless four was formed with Moioli, Elio Morille, Giovanni Invernizzi, and Franco Faggi. The first time they left their home training ground, Lake Como, was when they travelled to the 1947 European Rowing Championships in Lucerne, Switzerland. Little known in rowing circles, they unexpectedly won the gold medal in their boat class. The four were to dominate this boat class until 1952, continuously winning all races they rowed including all heats. In 1948 he was a crew member of the Italian boat which won the gold medal in the coxless fours event. Four years later he was eliminated with the Italian boat in the semi-final repechage of the coxless four competition. At the 1956 Games he was part of the Italian boat which finished fourth in the coxless four event.

# Japanese Cubans

Japanese Cubans (Japanese: 日系キューバ人) are people of Japanese ancestry resident in Cuba.

## History

The Cuban government first sought to recruit Japanese workers into sugar plantations in the 1880s, but the Japanese government refused to give approval on the grounds of the terrible working conditions of Chinese workers in Cuba. Subsequently, the first recorded Japanese person to settle in Cuba was in 1903. The first larger group of arrivals came from Mexico between 1910 and 1916, which would set a pattern for later decades, who were fleeing violence during the Mexican Revolution.
They established an agricultural society in Carmelina. Later in 1916, 262 Japanese arrived. Most decided to get a job by harvesting cane. But the conditions were very hard for the Japanese and some returned to Japan. Some made it to the Isle of Youth, where some families established fruit and vegetable farms. In 1926, immigration to Cuba slowed.
On December 9, 1941, after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, President Batista declared war on Japan, along with its fascist allies. A few days later, on December 12, all Japanese descendants living in Cuba were declared "enemy aliens". As of 1943 a total of about 1,200 Japanese had immigrated to Cuba, including about 200 Okinawans. Most Japanese Cubans were arrested by the Cuban government and were deported to the United States. Some found new jobs when they arrived. Some worked as cooks, servants and other forms of support. Those who were imprisoned were not necessarily released immediately when the war ended. The last group was released in March 1946, over six months after Japan surrendered. After World War II, some left for Japan.
During the Cuban Revolution, more nikkei left Cuba for Japan.

## Contemporary situation

In 2008, the Japanese government conferred the Order of the Rising Sun with gold and silver rays on Francisco Shinichi Miyasaka Machida in recognition of his contribution to the welfare of the descendants of Japanese emigrants in Cuba.
In 2019, there were an estimated 1,200 Japanese descendants living in Cuba.
# Austropotamobius pallipes

Austropotamobius pallipes is an endangered European freshwater crayfish, and the only crayfish native to the British Isles. Its common names include white-clawed crayfish and Atlantic stream crayfish.

## Distribution

It is found from the easterly Balkan Peninsula to Spain and reaches its northerly limit in Great Britain, as well as Ireland (where it is considered introduced), where it is limited to some regions only: its highest densities are in chalk streams. A. pallipes is the only crayfish found in Ireland, occurring over limestone areas in rivers, streams, canals, and lakes. In France, A. pallipes is found in streams such as the Mornante and Sellon, two small tributaries of the Dorlay in the Loire department. It is protected as a heritage species. It has also been introduced to Corsica, Liechtenstein, and Portugal (from where it is now extirpated).
It was once found across most of Great Britain; however its distribution is rapidly shrinking, and it is recorded in Yorkshire, central and northern England, east Kent, eastern Wales, the Candover Brook that flows into the Itchen in Hampshire; parts of Essex, and several long headwaters of the River Thames, where it competes with the introduced noble crayfish, itself also facing competition from the introduced signal crayfish. Dowdeswell Reservoir, Gloucestershire, has the species and during works of 1998, Severn Trent ensured its protection. Disease from invasive species has wiped it from the naturally alkaline River Frome, Bristol, 2007–08.

## Ecology

It is absent from more acidic waters and occurs in streams with a moderate flow alongside other freshwater invertebrates such as caddis fly, mayfly, and mollusc species. Trout and three-spined stickleback also occur in the same habitat. Tree roots and rocks in the banks provide shelter. Juveniles shelter in vegetation such as watercress and grass mats growing out of the bank.

## Description

A. pallipes is olive-brown, with pale undersides to the claws (whence its specific Latin epithet pallipes, "pale feet"). It may grow to 12 cm (4.7 in) long and adult sizes below 10 cm (3.9 in) are more common. It typically lives in rivers and streams about 1 m (3 ft) deep, where it hides among rocks and submerged logs, emerging to forage for food, and in lakes.

## Conservation

Two main reasons for decline are:
* Introduction of the invasive North American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) and red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii): The former is a carrier of crayfish plague, an infectious disease to which it has resistance, while A. pallipes has none.
* Water pollution: Many local extinctions are caused by surface runoff of insecticides and of bleached, insufficiently treated, or illegal untreated wastewater.

# Delaware River (Kansas)

The Delaware River (originally called the Grasshopper River) is a 94-mile-long (151 km) river located in the northeastern part of the state of Kansas. The Delaware River basin drains 1,117 square miles (2,890 km$^2$) from the outflow of the Perry Lake reservoir. The river has been classified as a Category 1 watershed by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, meaning that the watershed is in need of immediate restoration and protection. The river is one of the major tributaries of the Kansas River.

## Course

The Delaware River rises west of Sabetha, Kansas in Nemaha County. The river's course is generally southeast through the counties of Nemaha, Brown, Jackson, Atchison, and Jefferson in northeast Kansas. The Delaware passes through The Kickapoo Nation Reservation and is an important river for the tribe. Some of its main tributaries include Grasshopper Creek, Muddy Creek, Elk Creek, Straight Creek, Cedar Creek and Rock Creek. The Delaware's course takes it through rich farmland and this gives the river's water a very muddy appearance. Just south of Valley Falls the river enters Perry Lake, a man made reservoir to control flooding. It then enters the Kansas River just north of Lecompton, Kansas. Some cities within 10 miles (16 km) of the river include, Sabetha, Fairview, Powhattan, Horton, Whiting, Muscotah, Holton, Valley Falls, Ozawkie, Perry, and Lecompton, Kansas.
In Valley Falls it is crossed by the Delaware River Composite Truss Bridge, built in 1936, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

## Recreation

The river forms Perry Reservoir, which is a major regional lake for boating, swimming, camping, fishing and other activities. The river is also great for fishing, and some of the dominant fish of the river include channel catfish, flathead catfish, carp, longnose gar, drum, sauger, crappie, and white bass.
# Devil Track River

The Devil Track River is an 8.7-mile-long (14.0 km) river in northeastern Minnesota, the United States. It begins at the outlet of Devil Track Lake and flows southeast to Lake Superior east of Croftville.
Devil Track River is a loose translation of the Ojibwe-language name.
# Dog River (Oregon)

The Dog River is a small river in Oregon's Cascade Range and drains a few eastern foothills of Mount Hood. It is a tributary of East Fork Hood River and also contributes water for The Dalles and Hood River water systems. It is approximately 8 miles (14 km) long and drains the most southeastern portion of the Hood River watershed.
It arises at High Prairie Spring at 6200 ft (1890 m) elevation at the foot of Lookout Mountain (45°20′50″N 121°31′41″W﻿ / ﻿45.3473°N 121.5281°W﻿ / 45.3473; -121.5281) and flows northward. It joins with Dog River Springs at 5080 ft (1545 m) and continues surprisingly straight northward considering the mountainous terrain. It meets The Dalles city waterworks gauging station and its diversionary aqueduct intake at 4260 ft (1300 m) then turns NW to Cooks Meadow then turns directly westward. There are several half mile long zigzags north and west before turning straight northward again through steep mountainous forest. It meets the East Fork Hood River at Highway 35 where it also meets Puppy Creek at elevation 2120 (45°27′58″N 121°34′00″W﻿ / ﻿45.4662°N 121.5666°W﻿ / 45.4662; -121.5666), which is less than a mile upstream from Cat Creek.
The Dog River appears unsuitable for whitewater sports due to its low volume and restricted access for drinking water purposes.
The river's name comes from an early name for the Hood River, which was called the Dog River after a party of starving travelers resorting to eating dog meat.
# Dogue Creek

38°42′36″N 77°07′58″W﻿ / ﻿38.7099°N 77.1328°W﻿ / 38.7099; -77.1328
Dogue Creek is an 8.5-mile-long (13.7 km) tributary of the Potomac River in Fairfax County, Virginia, named for the Tauxenent Indigenous Native American People also known as Doeg people. The lower 3 miles (5 km) of the creek form a tidal embayment of the Potomac to the east of Fort Belvoir.

## Variant names

The Board on Geographic Names decided upon Dogue Creek as the stream's official name in 1892. Previously, it had been known by the following names according to the Geographic Names Information System:
* Doag Creek
* Doeg Creek
* Dog's Creek
* Dogue Run
* Epsewassen Creek
* Epsewasson
* Epsewasson Creek
* Hopkins Creek
