# Unakite

Unakite is a metamorphic rock that is altered granite composed of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote, and generally colorless quartz.

## Discovery

It was first found in the United States in the Unaka mountain range of North Carolina from which it gets its name. Unakite exists in various shades of green and pink and is usually mottled in appearance.

## Use

A good quality unakite is considered a semiprecious stone; it will take a good polish and is often used in jewelry as beads or cabochons and other lapidary work such as eggs, spheres and animal carvings. It is also referred to as epidotized or epidote granite.

## Structure

In some of the Blue Ridge Mountains occurrences, an epidotized augen gneiss is present exhibiting foliation structures.
The dominant green epidote in unakite rocks is the metasomatic alteration product of plagioclase feldspar, while the orthoclase and quartz crystals remain unaffected.

## Distribution

Unakite can be found as pebbles and cobbles from glacial drift all across the US Midwest. It also occurs in Virginia where it is found in the river valleys after having been washed down from the Blue Ridge Mountains. First found in the United States, unakite has a worldwide distribution, having also been reported in South Africa, Sierra Leone, Brazil, China, India and Australia.
Some material labeled unakite lacks the feldspar and is more properly called epidosite, and is also used as beads and cabochons.
# Cerebral peduncle

The cerebral peduncles (In Latin, ped- means 'foot'.) are the two stalks that attach the cerebrum to the brainstem. They are structures at the front of the midbrain which arise from the ventral pons and contain the large ascending (sensory) and descending (motor) tracts that run to and from the cerebrum from the pons. Mainly, the three common areas that give rise to the cerebral peduncles are the cerebral cortex, the spinal cord and the cerebellum. The region includes the tegmentum, crus cerebri and pretectum. By this definition, the cerebral peduncles are also known as the basis pedunculi, while the large ventral bundle of efferent fibers is referred to as the cerebral crus (crus means ‘leg’ in Latin.) or the pes pedunculi (pes means 'foot' in Latin.).
The cerebral peduncles are located on either side of the midbrain and are the frontmost part of the midbrain, and act as the connectors between the rest of the midbrain and the thalamic nuclei and thus the cerebrum. As a whole, the cerebral peduncles assist in refining motor movements, learning new motor skills, and converting proprioceptive information into balance and posture maintenance. Important fiber tracts that run through the cerebral peduncles are the corticospinal, corticopontine, and corticobulbar tracts. Damage to the cerebral peduncles results in unrefined motor skills, imbalance, and lack of proprioception.

## Structure

The descending upper fibers from the internal capsule continue on through the midbrain and are then seen as the fibers in the cerebral peduncles. The corticopontine fibers are found in the outer and inner third of the cerebral peduncle, these are the cortical input to the pontine nuclei. The corticobulbar and corticospinal fibers are found in the middle third of the cerebral peduncle. The corticospinal tract exits the internal capsule and is seen in the mid portion of the cerebral peduncles.

### Cranial nerves

Cranial nerve III (oculomotor nerve) appears ventrally between the two cerebral peduncles in the interpeduncular fossa. Cranial nerve IV (trochlear nerve) wraps around the lowest part of the cerebral peduncle.

# Victor Baravalle

Victor Baravalle (1885–1939) was an Italian-born composer, music director, and conductor, best known for his work on both the stage and film productions of the Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II musical Show Boat.
Baravalle worked as musical director and conductor for several Broadway musicals, including as conductor for the Greenwich Village Follies in 1921. He conducted the Broadway premiere production of Show Boat in 1927, as well as for the original stage productions of nine other Jerome Kern shows, among them The Cat and the Fiddle, Music in the Air, and Roberta. He continued a connection with Jules Bledsoe, the star of Show Boat, and conducted the New York Philharmonic Orchestra for Bledsoe's concert in 1929. Among the other stage musicals that he conducted was the first American production of The White Horse Inn.
In 1929, he was Musical Director for RKO Pictures, at the time known as Radio Pictures, until Max Steiner took over in 1930. He conducted the early film musical Tanned Legs (1929). He became executive head of music for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, then Metro, in 1935. He also conducted the orchestra for the sound prologue for the early sound version of Show Boat (1929), and for the entire 1936 film version of the show. He was music director for the Rudy Vallée vehicle The Vagabond Lover (1929).
He was the musical director for two of the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers films, Carefree (1938) — which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Musical Scoring, although it was Irving Berlin who wrote the actual songs in the film—and The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (1939), which is the last film Astaire and Rogers made together at RKO. He was also musical director for on A Damsel in Distress (1937), another RKO musical production that starred Astaire, Joan Fontaine, George Burns, and Gracie Allen.

# Taipei City Government

The Taipei City Government is the municipal government of Taipei.

## History

Taipei was known as Taihoku during Japan's rule of Taiwan, which started in 1895. Initially, the city was directly controlled by the Governor-General of Taiwan. In 1920, Japan reorganized the system of local government in Taiwan. As part of this, the Taihoku City Government was established within Taihoku Prefecture.
The city government was initially housed in buildings belonging to Huashan Elementary School [zh]. In 1940, a new city hall was opened on the same site. It was three- to four-stories tall and built in a modernist style.
After Taiwan was handed over to the Republic of China on 25 October 1945, Taipei became a provincial municipality and the capital of Taiwan Province. Its city hall was established in the former campus of Jian Cheng Elementary School [zh]. The old city hall building was turned over to house the provincial government for Taiwan. It became the Executive Yuan building in 1957.
The Republic of China government was forced to retreat to Taiwan in 1949, and Taipei became the nation's seat of government. In 1967, Taipei's status was upgraded to a cabinet-level municipality. Its service thus grew much bigger with the large increase of population. Taipei's city hall could only accommodate around 1,000 employees, and many other units were scattered in various rented offices.
In order to carry the city government jobs effectively, a new Taipei City Hall was opened in 1994 in the Xinyi District. The old city hall building became the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei and the campus of Jian Cheng Junior High School [zh].

# Rachel King

Rachel King (born 31 July 1990) is a Group 1 winning British jockey based in Australia.

## Background

King was born in Waterperry near Oxford. Her father, Chris, was a fishmonger and amateur jockey and trainer who rode in point-to-points. While at school, she had a holiday job in the yard of trainer Mick Channon. After leaving school, she worked in the yard of dual-purpose trainer Alan King, where she had a few rides as an amateur jockey on the flat and over hurdles. Her first win was in a point-to-point on Lady De Paris in 2007 at Tweseldown Racecourse. After a brief apprenticeship to Mark Usher, she returned to amateur riding, spending three years as secretary and work rider to Clive Cox in Lambourn and winning a few races.

## Career in Australia

In 2014, King went to Sydney, Australia, for a working holiday. After spending two months at the yard of James and Bart Cummings, she decided to stay in Australia and became an apprentice for trainer Gai Waterhouse, riding her first winner in 2015 and claimed the 2016/17 Sydney Champion Apprentice title with 88 wins.
King's first Group race success came in March 2018, when Lanciato, trained by Mark Newnham, won the Group 3 Newcastle Newmarket Handicap. This was followed in October 2018 by her first Group 1 win, riding Maid Of Heaven for Newnham in the Spring Champion Stakes.
King was invited to Japan in August 2023 to represent Australia in the annual World All-star Jockeys Championship [ja]. She finished in second place, one point behind Japanese jockey Mirai Iwata. On 4 November 2023, she secured her fifth Group 1 win, riding Ozzmosis for Bjorn Baker in the Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne.
King returned to Japan in January 2024 for two months after being granted a short-term license, sponsored by trainer Noriyuki Hori. On 21 January, King won the Grade 2 American Jockey Club Cup on Chuck Nate [ja] for Hori, making her the first foreign female jockey to win a graded flat race in Japan. She went on to win the Grade 3 Tokyo Shimbun Hai on Sakura Toujours for Hori. In all, she won 16 races in Japan.

# Squadron of Evolution

The Squadron of Evolution—sometimes referred to as the "White Squadron" or the "ABCD ships" after the first four— was a transitional unit in the United States Navy during the late 19th century. It was probably inspired by the French "Escadre d'évolution" of the 18th and 19th centuries. The squadron was composed of the protected cruisers USS Atlanta, USS Boston, USS Chicago, and dispatch boats USS Dolphin and USS Yorktown. Yorktown′s sister ships USS Bennington and USS Concord joined the squadron in 1891.
Rear Admiral John G. Walker served as its Commander with Chicago as his flagship. Walker was a proponent of the relatively new practice of concentrating ships into formations controlled by a single commander, and used his position to carry out exercises in squadron tactics, ship-to-ship signalling, and landing operations. Having both full rigged masts and steam engines, the White Squadron was also influential in the beginning of steel shipbuilding in the United States.
Following a period of sea trials in the fall of 1889, the squadron was first set underway from New York on November 18, 1889. After being displayed at a public maritime celebration in Boston, the squadron sailed to Lisbon, Portugal, where Walker was received by the Portuguese government and conducted exercises to determine his ships' ability to execute coordinated maneuvers under steam. On January 17, 1890, the squadron called at Cartagena, Spain, where the vessels were toured by Spanish authorities, who gave "their favorable opinions regarding the handsome construction, clean state, and the latest sea and war improvements and perfect order of the four ships." After stops at Mahón, Toulon, Villefranche, and Spezia, the squadron headed to Corfu, where Walker carried out target practice and landing exercises. The White Squadron remained in the Mediterranean until leaving for Algiers on April 30. After arriving there, Walker received a telegram ordering the squadron to head across the Atlantic to Brazil in order to support U.S. interests there following the recent military coup. After arriving there, and being greeted with ceremony by representatives of the new government, the squadron turned back to the United States, returning to New York in July 1890.
In 1891, the White Squadron commenced a tour of the Great Lakes, which was commemorated in an album by Woolson Spice Co. At that time, the White Squadron consisted of the cruiser USS Philadelphia under the command of Captain Frederick Rodgers, USS Charleston under the command of Captain George C. Remey, USS Baltimore under the command of Captain Winfield S. Schley, USS Boston under the command of Captain Gilbert C. Wise, USS Vesuvius under the command of Lieutenant Seaton Schroeder, the torpedo boat USS Cushing under Lieutenant Cameron McRae Winslow, USS Petrel under the command of Lieutenant-Commander M. R. S. McKenzie, USS Atlanta under the command of Captain John W. Philip, and USS Chicago under the command of Captain Joseph N. Miller. Some of the ships had other squadron assignments prior to the 1891 cruise.
