# Ariosoma meeki

Ariosoma meeki is an eel in the family Congridae (conger/garden eels). It was described by David Starr Jordan and John Otterbein Snyder in 1900, originally under the genus Congrellus. It is a subtropical, marine eel which is known from Japan and the Peng-hu Islands, in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Males are known to reach a maximum total length of 53 centimetres.
Named in honor of ichthyologist Seth Eugene Meek (1859-1914), who first recognized the distinctiveness of this species.
# William Atkins (doctor)

William Atkins (fl. 1694) was an English quack of the Restoration period. He gained some fame and wealth for his supposed cure of gout, the subject of his only published work: A Discourse Shewing the Nature of the Gout (1694).

## Life

Atkins originally lived on Old Bailey, but later moved to Whitechapel and then, by 1694, to Old Jewry. He worked as a doctor, handing out flyers advertising his medical abilities. According to one biographer, these bills "exceeded all others in extravagant assertions and impudence." Atkins professed to be able to, with his "renovating elixir", restore "pristine youth and vigour to the patient, however old or decayed". Atkins did not shy away from extravagant claims in his advertisements. Among the ailments he claimed to have the cure for were mental disability and infertility. He even recounted a tale in which he revived a woman from a "fit of the dead-palsy", after which she returned to perfect motor control. He described himself as a modern-day Solomon.
Atkins' main claim to fame was as a specialist doctor for gout. This specialty brought Atkins some renown and wealth, and was the subject of his only published work: A discourse shewing the nature of the gout with directions to such remedies as will immediately take away the pain (London, 1694). According to the title page, this book was printed for Thomas Fabian, to be sold at the Bible and Three Crowns, a bookshop at the lower end of Cheapside, but also up for sale at Atkins' house alongside his medicines. The advertisement to the work also noted, for any prospective clients, that "they may hear of me at any Bookseller's or Coffee-House near the Exchange, by the name of the Gout-Doctor". Atkins never purchased a coach for his own use, as would be expected of a man of his wealth, rather traveling on the public Hackney coaches in an uncharacteristic show of humility.
James Caulfield described Atkins vividly in his Remarkable Persons (1819):
   This wonderful great man was short in stature, fat, and waddled as he walked; he always wore a white three-tailed wig, nicely combed and frizzed upon each cheek. He generally carried a cane, but a hat never.
Atkins apparently printed his own likeness on flyers for his medical services, depicted as surrounded by instruments and souvenirs of his medical profession, including rotten teeth, pills, and gallipots. However, the only extant portrait of Atkins is an engraving of a solemn-looking Atkins attached to his Discourse (1694). Historians of medicine Roy Porter and George Rousseau have praised the author of this portrait for his realism, depicting Atkins as a "harbinger of bad news, [a] Hermes of Death, not merely the author of A Discourse Shewing the Nature of the Gout". Though this portraitist's name is not given, the National Portrait Gallery has tentatively identified them as Dutch print artist Frederick Hendrik van Hove.
# Arhopala auxesia

Arhopala auxesia is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It was described by William Chapman Hewitson in 1863. It is found in New Guinea and Sumatra.

Beneath distinguished by the spots of the hindwing being also very prominently dark brown.

## Subspecies

* A. a. salvia (Evans, 1957) (Salawati, Noemfoor Island)
# La Perseveranza

La Perseveranza was a daily newspaper founded in Milan, the capital of Lombardy, on 29 November 1859 and published till 20 May 1922. It was generally representative of the centre-right political establishment, though there were occasions when it proved more than capable of taking an independent position.

## History and profile

The paper was founded by a group of liberals and monarchists a few days after the annexation of Lombardy to Piedmont-Sardinia in the wider context of Italian unification. Its founders were wealthy members of the city's leading families, politically supportive of the Piedmontese First Minister, Count Cavour's unification strategy. Three of the most prominent of them, Giovanni Visconti Venosta, Gaetano Negri and Stefano Jacini were members of the "Constitutional Association". The starting paid up share capital of 300,000 lire was considered lavish at the time. Beneath its title early editions of La Perseveranza carried the motto "Usque ad finem" ("On to completion" / "On to the end").
La Peresveranza was produced in a broadsheet format, and had a cover price of 20 cents, which was four times the price of most competitor newspaper. Created to support unification, it quickly became the newspaper of reference for the middle class moderates and supporters of the nationalist monarchism within Milan's ruling class.
The first managing editor, who remained in the post till 1866, was Pacifico Valussi [it]. Valussi handed over control to Ruggero Bonghi, who on occasion displayed a formidable capacity for polemical journalism, and who demonstrated no great respect for Umberto I of Italy after 1878. Bonghi presided over a period of expansion, raising circulation to ten thousand copies.
In the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War, in 1870, Bonghi used La Perseveranza to insist that the inhabitants of Alsace-Lorraine must be permitted to vote in a referendum before any decision could be taken to transfer the territories from France to Germany. On the home front he was an acute observer of Italian political trends, and sought in the newspaper's columns to oppose the crushing of the political right in the region threatened between 1862 and 1864 by conflict between the haut bourgeois "Pietmontese party" and the more aristocratically focused "Tuscan Party" centred on Florence, and the tendency to respond to crises outside parliament, in ways that he believed caused major damage to the new representative institutions of the Italian constitution. In this respect "La Perseveranza" helped to make the more moderate and modern conservatism of Lombardy more mainstream within Italian conservatism generally, sustaining understanding of the need to overcome historically based internal divisions.
La Perseveranza also took good care of the arts and culture. Contributors included Diego Sant'Ambrogio (arts criticism) and Francesco Novati (literary criticism).

# L (novel)

L is a novel written by the Norwegian writer Erlend Loe. It is about a group of young men who go on an expedition to the small island Manuae in the Pacific Ocean. It was published in 1999, and was a big success.

## Plot

The main theme in the story is an expedition to prove main character Erlend's theory about Pacific islands. He believes that their inhabitants came from South America on skates. This is, of course, an impossible theory, but the story is kept alive with Loe's personal, at times naïve, style.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part is about how Erlend, inspired by Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki, came up with the theory, and the planning of the expedition. The second part is about the expedition itself, which takes place on Manuae in the Cook Islands. The seven boys in the expedition, including fictionalized versions of Loe and artist Kim Hiorthøy, all feel that they have not contributed to "build Norway", so this trip is like their way of saying "sorry", and placing Norway on the map once and for all. Erlend strongly believes that his theory is correct and that they will be praised as heroes when they return. In the end of the book the boys feel like this wasn't enough to place Norway on the map, so they start another experiment, where they try out the different ways of governing a country. For example, they try out apartheid and communism. They spend the last days on the island sitting around and waiting for the boat to pick them up. When they come home there is no marching band waiting at the airport, and realise that it will take more to get Norway "out there".
