# Gary Rollins

Gary W. Rollins (born August 30, 1944) is an American billionaire businessman. He is the chief executive officer (CEO) of Rollins, Inc., the US's largest pest control company.

## Early life

Rollins was born on August 30, 1944. His father was O. Wayne Rollins and his mother, Grace Crum Rollins.
Rollins graduated with a bachelor of business administration degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1967.

## Career

Rollins was the CEO of Orkin until July 2009. He has been its chairman since February 2004. Additionally, he has been the CEO of Rollins Inc. since July 2001.
He serves on the board of director of RPC, Inc.
On the Bloomberg 2024 list of the world's billionaires, he was ranked #430 with a net worth of US$6.35 billion.

## Political activity

Rollins contributed $25,000 to Donald Trump's 2020 presidential campaign.

## Personal life

He and his first wife, Ruth Magness, owned a 1,800-acre ranch near Cartersville, Georgia.
They have four children.
* Glen Rollins
* Ruth Ellen Rollins
* Nancy Louise Rollins
* O. Wayne Rollins II
Their son, Glen Rollins sued his father and his uncle Randall Rollins, chairman of Rollins Inc, over "rightful cash allocations". Glen's three siblings all joined him in the lawsuit, as did his mother, Ruthie, who filed for divorce from Gary at about the same time. Randall Rollins' five children took their father and Gary's side. Glen and Danielle also began divorce proceedings. After nearly a decade of litigation, the parties reached a confidential settlement in November 2019, just before closing arguments were set to begin in a Fulton County courtroom. Throughout the proceedings, Gary Rollins maintained that his actions were in line with the intentions of his father, O. Wayne Rollins, emphasizing a commitment to preserving the family's legacy and ensuring the responsible management of the family's substantial assets. The settlement's terms remain confidential, but the conclusion of the lawsuit suggests a mutual agreement was reached that honors the family's values and business principles. The family's "pest control empire" is worth about $14.2 billion.
Rollins' second wife is Kathleen (Wingard) Rollins.
In June 2018, it was announced that Rollins and wife Kathleen had given a gift of $40 million to his alma mater, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, in which the College of Business will now be named the Gary W. Rollins College of Business.
# Dispatch (ship)

Several vessels have borne the name Dispatch:
* Dispatch (1784 ship) was built in Bermuda and came to England possibly as early as 1786. In 1792 she made a voyage carrying slaves from Africa to the West indies. She was then briefly a privateer before returning to the slave trade. The French captured her in 1795 while she was on her third slave trading voyage.
* Dispatch (1795 ship) was an 18-gun, Albatross-class brig-sloop, intended for the British Royal Navy, but sold to the Imperial Russian Navy before commissioning. Between 1796 and 1805 she served in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. She was wrecked in 1805.
* Dispatch Packet (1808 ship) was launched in France in 1807, probably under another name. She was taken in prize and from 1808 sailed from Falmouth, Cornwall as a packet for the Post Office Packet Service. She sailed primarily to the Iberian peninsula, but also made voyages to North America, Suriname, and the Mediterranean. She was wrecked on 14 April 1812 while returning to Falmouth from Malta.

# Arena Massacre

The Arena Massacre or Arena Uprising took place on 1 December 1699 in Trinidad at the mission of San Fernando de los Arenales, east Trinidad. It resulted in the death of several hundred Amerindians, Roman Catholic priests connected with the mission of San Francisco de los Arenales, the Spanish Governor José de León y Echales and all but one member of his party.
Amerindians tied to the Church's encomienda at the mission at Arena revolted, killing the priests and desecrating the church. They then ambushed the governor and his party, who were on their way to visit the church. Among those killed in the governor's party was Fr. Juan Mazien de Sotomayor, O.P., missionary priest to the Nepuyo villages of Cuara, Tacarigua and Arouca. One member of the governor's party managed to escape the attackers and returned to San Jose where he raised the alarm.

## Aftermath

The rebels hastily buried the bodies of the monks, threw the governor's body into the river and headed for the coast. They were pursued by the Spaniards, who overtook them at Comcal and drove them to Cocal. Many dived into the sea in preference to being captured. Eighty-four rebels were captured and sixty-one of them were shot. The surviving indigenes were interrogated via torture. Many of the tortured revealed that they were often beaten by the priests for not attending church services. The twenty-two identified as ringleaders were hanged on 14 January 1700 at San José de Oruña, the capital of the colony, and their dismembered bodies displayed. The women of the tribe were distributed among the Spanish households as slaves.

## Miracles

In April 1701 a party set out to recover the bodies of the Capuchin monks. According to the official history of the Capuchins, written by Fr. Mateo de Anguiano in 1704, the ground was still wet with fresh blood, and the bodies of the monks were uncorrupted, bleeding from their wounds when they were moved. The bodies were taken to the main church where they lay in state for nine days.
In 1885 Dominican Fr. Cothonay claimed to have found the site of the Mission of San Francisco de los Arenales. In addition to physical evidence he cited Amerindian traditions that on Holy Thursday and Good Friday every year, "remarkable things happened" and some claimed to have heard voices, talking and singing, a priest saying Mass and people praying.

# Hazhenia

Hazhenia is an extinct genus of therocephalian therapsids from the Early Triassic of China, of which Hazhenia concava is the only species. Hazhenia was named in 1981 from the Heshanggou Formation in the Ordos Desert of Inner Mongolia. It lived during the Olenekian Age of the Early Triassic, about 247 million years ago. Hazhenia belongs to a group of therocephalians called Baurioidea and possesses many mammal-like features such as cusped teeth and a secondary palate, both of which evolved independently in baurioids. Within Baurioidea it is most closely related to the genus Ordosiodon, which is also known from Inner Mongolia but comes from the slightly younger Ermaying Formation. Both genera were once placed in the family Ordosiidae, but as the name is preoccupied by a family of Cambrian trilobites, it is no longer valid.
Hazhenia is known from a single skull that was discovered by a group from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in 1977, a year after the discovery of the first Ordosiodon remains. Both were initially classified as members of Scaloposauria, a group of small-sized therocephalians now regarded as a paraphyletic assemblage of basal baurioids. A phylogenetic analysis of therocephalians published in 2014 found Hazhenia and Ordosiodon to be each other's closest relatives, and placed both in a derived position within Baurioidea, close to the family Bauriidae. Below is a cladogram from that analysis:

# Darwish Pasha Mosque

# Charles Barrett Lockwood

Charles Barrett Lockwood (23 September 1856 – 8 November 1914) was a British surgeon and anatomist who practiced surgery at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London. Lockwood was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons.
Lockwood is remembered for his surgical work with femoral and inguinal hernias. He developed an infra-inguinal approach for femoral hernia operations that is known today as the "low approach" or "Lockwood's operation". In 1893, he published an important book titled "Radical Cure of Femoral and Inguinal Hernia".
He first conceived the idea of an Anatomical Society in 1887, acted as their first treasurer and was elected president of the society for 1901 to 1903.
The "Lockwood's suspensory ligament" of the eye is named after him. This structure is the thickened area of contact between Tenon's capsule and the sheaths of the inferior rectus and inferior oblique muscles. This ligament is responsible for maintaining the position of the eyeball in its normal upward and forward position within the orbit.
