# Gyroelongated square pyramid

In geometry, the gyroelongated square pyramid is the Johnson solid that can be constructed by attaching an equilateral square pyramid to a square antiprism. It occurs in chemistry; for example, the square antiprismatic molecular geometry.

## Construction

The gyroelongated square pyramid is composite, since it can constructed by attaching one equilateral square pyramid to the square antiprism, a process known as the gyroelongation. This construction involves the covering of one of two square faces and replacing them with the four equilateral triangles, so that the resulting polyhedron has twelve equilateral triangles and one square. The convex polyhedron in which all of the faces are regular is the Johnson solid, and the gyroelongated square pyramid is one of them, enumerated as $J_{10}$, the tenth Johnson solid.

## Properties

The surface area of a gyroelongated square pyramid with edge length $a$ is: $\left(1+3{\sqrt {3}}\right)a^{2}\approx 6.196a^{2},$ the area of twelve equilateral triangles and a square. Its volume: ${\frac {{\sqrt {2}}+2{\sqrt {4+3{\sqrt {2}}}}}{6}}a^{3}\approx 1.193a^{3},$ can be obtained by slicing the square pyramid and the square antiprism, after which adding their volumes.
It has the same three-dimensional symmetry group as the square pyramid, the cyclic group $C_{4v}$ of order eight. Its dihedral angle can be derived by calculating the angle of a square pyramid and square antiprism in the following:
* the dihedral angle of an equilateral square pyramid between two adjacent triangles, approximately $109.47^{\circ }$
* the dihedral angle of a square antiprism between two adjacent triangles, approximately $127.55^{\circ }$, and between a triangle to its base is $103.83^{\circ }$
* the dihedral angle between two adjacent triangles, on the edge where an equilateral square pyramid is attached to a square antiprism, is $158.57^{\circ }$, for which by adding the dihedral angle of an equilateral square pyramid between its base and its lateral face $54.74^{\circ }$ and the dihedral angle of a square antiprism between two adjacent triangles.

## Applications

In stereochemistry, the capped square antiprismatic molecular geometry can be described as the atom cluster of the gyroelongated square pyramid. An example is [LaCl(H $_2$O) $_7$]$^{4+}$ $_2$, a lanthanum(III) complex with a La–La bond.
# Emydocephalus

Emydocephalus is a genus of sea snakes, also known as turtle-headed sea snakes, in the family Elapidae. The genus is one of a small group of the viviparous sea snakes (Hydrophiinae: Hydrophiini) with Aipysurus. Unlike most sea snakes, the species that make up Emydocephalus lack teeth on their dentary and palatine bones. They also lack venom, making them the only non-venomous elapids. The dentary and palantine bones bear only a row of papillae. Emydocephalus does, however, bear fangs and many small pterygoid teeth. This reduced dentition is due to their diet consisting almost entirely of fish eggs. Due to their prey being small and immobile, they exhibit a foraging strategy different than most snakes, where they forage more frequently but consume smaller quantities.

## Etymology

The generic name, Emydocephalus, is from the Greek words ὲμύς (emys) meaning "turtle", and κεφαλή (kephale) meaning "head".

## Geographic range

Species of the genus Emydocephalus are found in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australasia.

## Species

Emydocephalus has three recognized species.
* Emydocephalus annulatus Krefft, 1869 - turtle-headed sea snake, egg-eating sea snake
* Emydocephalus ijimae Stejneger, 1898 - turtlehead sea snake
* Emydocephalus orarius Nankivell, Goiran, Hourston, Shine, Rasmussen, Thomson, & Sanders, 2020

# John Evans (Pennsylvania governor)

John Evans (born about 1678) was a colonial governor of Pennsylvania, 3 February 1704 through 1 February 1709.

## Biography

Evans was of Welsh origin, and in February 1704, became deputy governor of the province, under the proprietor, William Penn. He was not a Quaker, and was doubtless selected out of deference to the court party, who did not believe in the peace principles of that sect. His administration was marked by quarrels with the assembly, and especially with the speaker of the house, David Lloyd, who headed the popular party. Disregarding the convictions of the Quakers, Evans, for the first time in the history of the colony, made a public call for troops, with the desire of assisting the other colonies against the French and Indians. The call met with no response, whereupon the governor, resorting to a discreditable ruse, arranged to have a messenger ride into Philadelphia on the day of the annual fair, announcing, with apparent consternation, that the French had arrived in the Delaware and were marching on the city. Evans then rode through the street with drawn sword, entreating the people to arm, and for a time great excitement prevailed. Valuables were hastily thrown into wells, and many people fled to the forests; but the Quakers, on whom Evans had wished to make an impression, continued quietly at their devotions, as it was the day for their "weekly meeting." The governor also built a fort at Newcastle, and unlawfully demanded tribute of all vessels passing up the river. One of his tax enforcers was captured by a ship he had been trying to tax and carried off to the Jersey side of the river where a furious Lord Cornbury (who had charter rights to regulate commerce on the river) upbraided him, whereupon Evans gave up on his tax. Evans had a good deal of learning and refinement, but his habits were unsuited to the Quaker City. Watson, in his "Annals of Philadelphia," says that in 1702 "Solomon Cresson, going his round at night, entered a tavern to suppress a riotous assembly, and found there John Evans, Esq., the governor, who fell to beating Cresson." Evans was finally recalled in February 1709, and was succeeded by Colonel Charles Gookin.
On 28 August 1709, he married Rebecca Moore in Philadelphia. After surrendering his office to Gookin, he remained for a time in Philadelphia but at length retired to Denbigh, Wales.

Donald Brian Doe MBE FRIBA FSA (19 June 1920 – 5 May 2005) was a British archaeologist and architect. Originally trained as an architect, Doe acquired an interest in archaeology whilst serving with the Royal Engineers in North Africa in the Second World War. After the war, he was appointed the Chief Government Architect of the British Colony of Aden (part of modern-day Yemen), and later served as the first Director of its Department of Antiquities. Upon the British withdrawal from Yemen in 1967, he enrolled at the University of Cambridge, where he worked on publishing the results of his studies of the archaeology and architectural history of Southern Arabia. He also conducted archaeological surveys in Oman in the 1970s.
# George W. Hill (pastor)

George W. Hill (December 13, 1916 – March 3, 2003) was an American Baptist pastor, a peace activist, and a leading liberal Protestant voice who played an important role in the founding of the United States Institute of Peace.
He was born in 1913 in Los Angeles, California. Hill attended the University of Southern California. He died in Claremont, California on March 3, 2003.

## Early life and education

Hill was born in Los Angeles and majored in banking and finance at the University of Southern California. He planned to go law school but was offered a position at the Lake Avenue Baptist Church in Rochester, New York. Through this experience, he decided to enter the ministry and entered Colgate Rochester Divinity School, from which he graduated in 1940. Hill was ordained at Lake Avenue Baptist on May 14, 1940.

## Pastoral positions

Hill's first church was Atwater Park Baptist Church in Pasadena where he served as pastor until 1943. He served as youth minister and then co-pastor at First Baptist Church of Pasadena from 1944 to 1954. In 1954, he returned to Lake Avenue Baptist Church in Rochester, where he served as senior pastor until 1971. From 1971 until 1986, he was senior pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., which had enough stature to be considered a church for President Jimmy Carter. He retired in 1986, but was called to serve as interim pastor, starting in 1988, at The Riverside Church in New York City, where he focused substantially on resolving fiscal issues at the church. He retired again from full-time ministry in 1989. In addition, Hill served on the board of the American Baptists.
Hill also had a regular television talk-show, The Pastor's Study.

## Activism

Hill engaged in a life of social activism grounded in his religious beliefs. For example, in the 40s, he opposed Japanese internment camps. Hill was President of the Rochester Council of Churches during the Rochester 1964 race riot. Many clergy supported political organizing attempts by the Industrial Areas Foundation, although many clergy came under significant pressure for this. This effort brought IAF and the churches into extensive conflict with Eastman Kodak, the leading company in the town. Hill was given the American Baptist's Edwin T. Dahlberg Peace Award for this in 1985
When Hill moved to Washington, D.C. to pastor Calvary Baptist Church, he shifted somewhat to national politics. He came involved in, and eventually chairman, of the National Peace Academy Campaign, which resulted in the United States Institute of Peace. Calvary was also located in a poorer neighborhood, which led to the church opening a homeless shelter in its basement.
After retiring, he was active in Pastors for Peace. In 1978, Hill led efforts to raise money for the bail of convicted spy Donald Humphrey.
# John Hand (priest)

Fr. John Hand (1807–1846) was an Irish priest and the founder of All Hallows College in Dublin.
John Hand was born Bolies, near Oldcastle, County Meath in August 1807, to Luke and Margaret (née Fox) Hand. His family suffered eviction.
He went to school at Navan Seminary some eight miles walk from where he lived; he excelled in his studies, winning a competition for entry to Maynooth, started his priestly studies in Maynooth College in August 1831, but left in 1835 to join the Vincentians in St. Peter's, Phibsborough, Dublin, under Dean Philip Dowley, who had left Maynooth in 1833 to set up the Vincentians in Dublin.
Fr. Hand was ordained a priest on 13 December 1835, by the Rt. Rev. William Clancy in the private chapel of St. Vincent's Seminary at Castleknock.
He visited Lyon in France, and was inspired by the organisation for the propagation of the faith to set up a missionary college in Dublin. He returned to Dublin and set up in 1842 All Hallows Missionary College, in Drumcondra, renting Drumcondra House north of the Tolka river, the lands were owned by Dublin Corporation at the time, and Daniel O'Connell who was Mayor at the time assisted Fr. Hand in getting the lands. He served as the College's first president.
He died aged 38, in May 1846, after suffering a lung haemorrhage some weeks earlier, and is buried in All Hallows Cemetery, in the college grounds, he was survived by his parents. His younger Brother Luke Hand also became a priest serving in Bathhurst, New South Wales, Australia, commencing his clerical training in All Hallows in 1846, shortly before John died.
