# Lawrie Metcalf

Lawrence James Metcalf (1928–2017) was a New Zealand horticulturalist, botanist, conservationist and author of gardening and plant identification books. Metcalf popularized and advocated for the planting of native or indigenous plant species in both public and private gardens and pioneered their propagation techniques (horticulture). In 1991 the British Royal Horticultural Society recognized his work on the cultivation of New Zealand's native plants, with the Gold Veitch Memorial Medal.

## Professional work

Metcalf was a global authority on the ''Hebe'' (plant) genus, indigenous to New Zealand, and planted widely around the world in public gardens with temperate climates
As the Assistant Curator (later Assistant Director) of Christchurch Botanic Gardens, Metcalf founded and expanded its International Seed Exchange programme.
After more than 20 years at Christchurch Botanic Gardens, Metcalf became the Director of Parks and Recreation at the Invercargill City Council until his retirement in 1992. During his retirement Metcalf wrote many popular books on identifying New Zealand plants, and on native plant propagation and gardening,.
In 2017, the Herbarium at Christchurch Botanic Gardens was named in his honour. It contains many dried plant specimens collected by Metcalf during his time as Assistant Curator and Assistant Director.

# Mike Hynson

Mike Hynson (June 28, 1942 – January 10, 2025) was an American surfer and surfboard shaper. He was best known as one of the two subjects of Bruce Brown's 1966 surf documentary The Endless Summer, along with Robert August.
Hynson was born on June 28, 1942, in Crescent City, California, the elder of two sons of Robert Hynson, a U.S. Navy engineer and Grace (Wheaton) Hynson. In his early years, the family divided its time between Hawaii and San Diego, finally settling in Southern California when he was 10. As a teenager, he took up surfing.
After graduating from La Jolla High School in San Diego, Hynson starting receiving draft notices to serve in the war in Vietnam. By the age of 21 he'd "been sidestepping them for three years,” he wrote in his memoir. Being tapped for the documentary film, which was largely shot overseas, “was the miracle I needed,” he later wrote.
He was known not only for his surfing skills, but also as a noted builder of surfboards, particularly the popular Red Fin long board.
Hynson was instrumental in the creation of the movie Rainbow Bridge (1971), which he originally conceived as a surfing film with the working title of "Wave". It was directed by Chuck Wein, a protégé of Andy Warhol, and touched on mysticism and drug use, in addition to surfing. The film's climax centers on a Jimi Hendrix concert at the base of the Haleakala volcano in Maui.
Perhaps the most cited scene in The Endless Summer involves Hynson riding a wave at Cape St. Francis, South Africa, with the narrator, Bruce Brown, referencing the mythic "perfect wave" that all surfers dream of. Clips of the ride regularly circulate around social media sites, showing the youthful Hynson looking mesmerized as he glides his Hobie surfboard in the curl of a seemingly never-ending tubular wave.
Hynson died January 10, 2025, in Encinitas, California at the age of 82.
# Abram Dannerly

Abram Dannerly was an American politician. He was a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives during the Reconstruction era. He represented Orangeburg. He was expelled in 1874.
# Lotta Edholm

Charlotta "Lotta" Kristina Johansdotter Edholm (born 8 February 1965) is a Swedish politician for the Liberals. Since 18 October 2022 she has been the minister for schools in the Ulf Kristersson cabinet.

## Early life, education and career

Edholm was born in Västerås, and has a BA in political sciences from Stockholm University. She served as a member of the Riksdag (statsrådersättare) from 1992 to 1994. She was municipal commissioner (borgarråd) for schools in Stockholm from 2006 to 2014, and 2018 to 2020 as well as in opposition from 2014 to 2018. She has been on the board of the freeschool group Tellusgruppen.

## Minister for Schools

On 18 October 2022 she was appointed the minister for schools in the Ulf Kristersson cabinet.
In 2023, she launched an investigation into state-supported friskolor (Free Schools), after calling into question its profit-making model. In recent years there had been a drop in educational standards with inequality rising. 15% of primary pupils (up to 16-year-old) and 30% of all upper school pupils went to friskolor. One major issue was the claim that some friskolor awarded pupils grades that were too high, distorting the grading system.

## Personal life

She was married to former Liberal party leader, Lars Leijonborg, with whom she has one son.
# Mussel Island

Mussel Island was an island in Newtown Creek located near its confluence with Maspeth Creek, between the Brooklyn neighborhood of Greenpoint and the Queens neighborhood of Maspeth in New York City.
Prior to industrialization, Newtown Creek hosted a sizable population of mussel on its bottom and at the confluence of Maspeth Creek and Newtown Creek was Mussel Island, an uninhabited patch of marshland that survived into the 1940s. With hundreds of thousands of vessels traveling through Newtown Creek in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this island posed a navigation hazard, forcing boats to tightly swerve around it.
In 1921, Congress approved a dredging project for Newtown Creek that proposed to eliminate Mussel Island in favor of a "turning basin" that would enable larger vessels to turn around. By the end of the following decade, the project was completed and the island disappeared beneath the water. Map company Hagstrom continued to mark the island on its maps until October 2000, when a reader asked The New York Times about the island and Hagstrom conceded that it no longer belonged on the map.
# Type 100 Te-Re

The Type 100 Te-Re was an artillery observation vehicle of the Imperial Japanese Army used to spot and recon for SPGs and stationary artillery.

## Design

Based on the chassis of the Type 97 Te-Ke tankette, production of the vehicle began in 1940. The Type 100 Te-Re was able to accommodate a crew of six to eight, while designed to carry observation and radio equipment. The rear compartment was for the spotters and radio operator instead of being used for storing cargo or troops. It was fitted with a large radio, observation equipment and a cable reel. The exact number of units converted and produced is not known. Estimates vary between 80 or 100 to 150 units produced. They were mainly used in the Second Sino-Japanese War.

## Operation

Using the radio and observation equipment, the spotters would find and relay targets to artillery positions. They would act as observers for the artillery fire and give firing corrections for targets, as needed.
# Earthlight (astronomy)

Earthlight is the diffuse reflection of sunlight reflected from Earth's surface and clouds. Earthshine (an example of planetshine), also known as the Moon's ashen glow, is the dim illumination of the otherwise unilluminated portion of the Moon by this indirect sunlight. Earthlight on the Moon during the waxing crescent is called "the old Moon in the new Moon's arms", while that during the waning crescent is called "the new Moon in the old Moon's arms".

## Visibility

Earthlight has a calculated maximum apparent magnitude of −17.7 as viewed from the Moon. When the Earth is at maximum phase, the total radiance at the lunar surface is approximately 0.15 W m$^{−2}$ from Earthlight. This is only 0.01% of the radiance from direct Sunlight. Earthshine has a calculated maximum apparent magnitude of −3.69 as viewed from Earth.
This phenomenon is most visible from Earth at night (or astronomical twilight) a few days before or after the day of new moon, when the lunar phase is a thin crescent. On these nights, the entire lunar disk is both directly and indirectly sunlit, and is thus unevenly bright enough to see. Earthshine is most clearly seen after dusk during the waxing crescent (in the western sky) and before dawn during the waning crescent (in the eastern sky).
The term earthlight would also be suitable for an observer on the Moon seeing Earth during the lunar night, or for an astronaut inside a spacecraft looking out the window. Arthur C. Clarke uses it in this sense in his 1955 novel Earthlight.
High contrast photography is also able to reveal the night side of the moon illuminated by Earthlight during a solar eclipse.
Radio frequency transmissions are also reflected by the moon; for example, see Earth–Moon–Earth communication.

## History

The phenomenon was sketched and remarked upon in the 16th century by Leonardo da Vinci, who thought that the illumination came from reflections from the Earth's oceans (we now know that clouds account for much more reflected intensity than the oceans). This is why this phenomenon is sometimes called the Da Vinci Glow.
It is referenced in "The Ballad of Sir Patrick Spens" (Child Ballad No. 58), in the phrase "‘A saw the new muin late yestreen/ Wi the auld muin in her airm."
Astronaut Dr Sian Proctor was moved by seeing and experiencing earthlight from orbit as mission pilot of Inspiration4 space mission and wrote the poem, "Earthlight". In 2024, Proctor authored EarthLight: The Power of EarthLight and the Human Perspective on the concept and nature of earthlight.
# Madison Davis

Madison "Mat" Davis (September 27, 1833 – August 20, 1902) was an American slave who became a member of the Georgia Assembly representing Clarke County, Georgia and the first African American postmaster in Athens, Georgia, after being emancipated. He was active in Republican Party politics.

## Early years

Davis was born into slavery and was owned by a carriage maker. After the U.S. Civil War he was freed from slavery at age 31.

## Career
### Representative of Georgia

In 1868, Davis and Alfred Richardson, also a former slave, were elected to the Georgia House of Representatives from Clarke County. Later the same year, 25 of 29 African Americans were ejected from office after Georgia's legislature determined that African Americans had no protected right to serve in public office. Four more were investigated by a committee to determine their heritage and determine whether they were more than one-eighth African-American. That year, he was a delegate to Georgia's constitutional drafting convention.
Madison Davis had a light complexion and was one of two African-American representatives allowed to continue in office. Georgia Supreme Court reversed the decision barring African Americans from office the following year in 1869 and all the legislators were returned to office. He was reelected in 1870.

### Later career

Davis went into the real estate business. He was appointed postmaster of Athens in 1890 by President Benjamin Harrison; making Davis the first African American to serve in that role. He faced strong opposition from local whites in Athens. (Monroe Morton was the second African-American postmaster in Athens.)
Davis also worked as U.S. Customs Surveyor in Atlanta and was Captain of Relief No. 2, Clarke County's first black fire company.

## Death

He is buried at Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery in Athens.
# Bobby Orr (drummer)

Robert Orr (15 August 1928 – 12 March 2020) was a Scottish jazz drummer and session musician.

## Early life

Orr was born in Cambuslang, Scotland on 15 August 1928. His father's name was John Orr. Orr began playing drums at the age of three, encouraged by his father, a drum major. From the age of 16 Orr also played the trumpet, as a member of Basil Kirchin's band; however, he had difficulties with his embouchure and returned to the drums.

## Later life and career

In the 1950s and 1960s, Orr was a fixture on the London jazz scene, including as a founder member of Joe Harriott's quintet (which he left and subsequently rejoined) and for Tubby Hayes and others. He also served as a house drummer at Ronnie Scott's Club, backing top American visitors such as Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Milt Jackson, and Dizzy Gillespie.
Orr had three tours with Benny Goodman. As a freelance from 1970, he also toured with Billy Eckstine and Sammy Davis Jr., as well as Tommy Whittle and Don Lusher. In the 1990s, Orr toured extensively with the UK Glenn Miller Tribute Band. As an aside from his jazz career, he also played on many recording sessions for pop and rock artists such as Donovan and Dusty Springfield.

# Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game

The Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game is the name of two companion accessories to the second and third editions of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. Designed as simpler, stand-alone versions of Dungeons & Dragons, they feature a simplified ruleset, but with character progression that parallels the standard game. However, for 3rd-level characters and higher, the standard Player's Handbook is still required. The first version was published in 1999 for the second edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, while the second version was published in 2000 for the third edition of Dungeons & Dragons.

## Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition

This version is intended as an introduction to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons with streamlined rules. The boxed set contains six dice, a dice bag, a gamemaster's screen, a rulebook, a book of pregenerated characters, and a book of adventures.
This version of Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game was written by Bill Slavicsek.
It was reviewed by the online version of Pyramid on May 21, 1999.The reviewer commented that this was both a cheaper and "lite" version of the rules, and that with TSR's recent efforts, like Wrath of the Minotaur and Eye of the Wyvern, this boxed set "continues to show how things should be done". The reviewer also commented that in most cases, "the rules are enough to get the game started", but found one confusing area involving a reference stating that a character dies when the character's wounds exceed his or her hit point total, but another area says that the optional -10 hit point rule from AD&D standard is enforced.

## Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition

The Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game for the third edition of Dungeons & Dragons is a boxed set containing a 32-page Rule Book, a 48-page Adventure Book, 32 reference pages, a map, two pages of counters and a sheet titled "Read This First".
This version of Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game was designed by Jonathan Tweet, Jason Carl, Andy Collins and David Noonan. It was published in August 2000.

### Reception

It was reviewed by the online version of Pyramid on August 18, 2000. The reviewer commented that the Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game "isn't a game that inspires me to heights of giddy delight, or sparks a raging inferno within me. No, it just is." The reviewer added: "The game itself is high quality. The character sheets are full color (though you'll need to cut the double-page spreads apart yourself); the counters are in color and double-sided (though not made of the sturdiest stock); and the dice, while not the ultra-snazzy glitter/marble/speckled sorts, are a grand evolution from the dice made of Pez with crayon kits included with the early "Basic" sets. The booklets, while black and white, are well-formatted and easy to read."

### Reviews

* Backstab #35 (as "Dungeons & Dragons: le jeu d'aventures")
