# Waitaki District Council building

The Waitaki District Council building, the former Oamaru Chief Post Office, is the seat of the Waitaki District in Oamaru, New Zealand.
Oamaru's first post office was built in 1864 to a design by William Mason and William Clayton. The town was prosperous and soon, the building was too small. The government advanced NZ£4,000 and tenders were called in February 1883 for a new building next to the first post office. The North Otago Times described the design plans with the following words:
   It is designed in the Italian order of architecture, in a massive and handsome style; there being no redundancy of intricate ornamental workmanship about the facings. ... The base of the building will be of blue stone; the rest, of course, of Oamaru stone. The exterior of the building as it appears on the plans will be decidedly handsome; having a height to the top of the parapet of 45 feet, and from the above description it will be seen that the accommodation provided for the public will be a decided improvement upon the existing state of things.
The building was opened in 1884, but much to the population's disappointment, the clock tower was not erected initially. As it was large and richly ornamented, it soon was a favourite motive for post cards, calendars, and crockery. Ten years later, the tower was added, but the Post and Telegraph Department insisted that the clock and chimes be funded by the Oamaru Borough. John McLean, a rich runholder and businessman who had lived in Oamaru for the last few decades of his life and who died in 1902, left money in his will for the clock. As McLean had never married, it was up to his nephew, John Buckley, a son of George Buckley, to unveil the additions on 17 September 1903.
In the mid-1940s, many post offices had their heavy clocks removed, as they posed an earthquake risk. Whilst lobbying against this measure was often unsuccessful, the clock in the Oamaru post office was allowed to remain. The building was registered by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (now called Heritage New Zealand) on 28 June 1990 with registration number 2294. The building has a category I listing. The post office moved out in 1994, and the Waitaki District Council has used the premises since.
# Turner River Site

The Turner River Site (8CR8) is an archaeological site in the Ten Thousand Islands region of Everglades National Park, in Florida. It is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The Turner River Site is a large shell works site .5 miles (0.80 km) from the mouth of the Turner River, near Chokoloskee Island. The site covers 30 acres (12 ha) and is .25 miles (0.40 km) long. It has at least 30 closely spaced mounds. The site was the first in the Ten Thousand Islands area to be excavated by professional archaeologists.
The Turner River Site came to the attention of archaeologists in 1900. Aleš Hrdlička visited the site in 1918. He declared it to be "important to science", and urged that it be made a "national reservation." William H. Sears conducted the first excavation by a professional archaeologist in 1955. He noted structural features similar to those found at Key Marco and Chokoloskee Island, and concluded that the region was an "important prehistoric population center." Sears found muck with midden materials between the mounds and on the lower slopes of the mounds, but the bulk of the mounds were clean shell deposits, almost entirely made up of small oyster shells, which had been placed on submerged mud flats. Based on dating of potsherds found at the site, Sears concluded that the residents of the site had lived on the edge of the river, moving the village towards the water as the mounds built up behind them. All of the potsherds collected at the site were assigned to the Glades I and II periods, placing occupation of the site in the period from about 200 or 100 BCE to 800 or 900 CE.
The Turner River Site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Washington Merry-Go-Round is a 1932 American pre-Code film directed by James Cruze and starring Lee Tracy, Constance Cummings, Walter Connolly, and Alan Dinehart. It was produced by Walter Wanger.

## Plot

Button Gwinnett Brown (Lee Tracy) is a new congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives. He refuses bribes, vowing to rid Washington of corruption; but crosses swords with powerful senator Edward Norton (Alan Dinehart), who wants to enlist Brown to help Prohibition bootleggers. Norton also happens to be chasing elder senator Wylie's (Walter Connolly) granddaughter Alice (Constance Cummings), who Brown has also fallen for. In order to silence the idealistic newcomer, politicians stage a phony re-count and Brown loses his government seat. However, with the help of Senator Wylie and Alice, Brown manages to win back his place and clean up the halls of justice.

## Critical reception

The New York Times wrote, ""Washington Merry-Go-Round" is a sturdy piece of work with melodramatic interludes. At times it is somewhat reckless in its dealings, but, allowing for its explosive utterances and its eagerness to win popular favor as an entertainment, it arouses a certain amount of interest. There are excellent performances by the cast, headed by the vehement Lee Tracy, and Mr. Cruze's direction is for the most part genuinely able"; while more recently Allmovie called it "a ridiculously contrived political tale that even in its time must have been viewed as overly simplistic"; whereas Leonard Maltin wrote that the film "remains surprisingly relevant today, with engaging performances and strong feel for the political arena, but peters out after great first half."
# HgcG RNA

The HgcG RNA gene is a non-coding RNA that was identified computationally and experimentally verified in AT-rich hyperthermophiles. The genes from this screen were named hgcA through hgcG ("high GC"). HgcG is of unknown function. hgcG is significantly similar to a region of the Archaeoglobus fulgidus genome. The genes were named hgcA through hgcG ("high GC"). It was later identified as Pab40 H/ACA snoRNA with rRNA targets.

# Minerals Separation, Ltd. v. Hyde

Minerals Separation v. Hyde, 242 U.S. 261 (1916), is a United States Supreme Court case on the patent protection of froth flotation.

## Background

Minerals Separation, Limited obtained U.S. Patent No. 835,120, issued on November 6, 1906, to Henry Livingston Sulman, Hugh Fitzalis Kirkpatrick-Picard and John Ballot. As stated in the specification of the patent, the claimed discovery related "to improvements in the process for the concentration of ores, the object being to separate metalliferous matter from gangue by means of oils, fatty acids, or other substances which have a preferential affinity for such metalliferous matter over gangue."
Prior to the discovery, it was well known that oil and oily substances had a selective affinity or attraction for, and would unite mechanically with, the minute particles of metal and metallic compounds found in crushed or powdered ores, but would not so unite with the quartz, or rocky nonmetallic material, called "gangue". It was also well known that this selective property of oils and oily substances was increased when applied to some ores by the addition of a small amount of acid to the ore and water used in process of concentration.
# Venice Boulevard Line

The Venice Boulevard Line (formerly the West 16th Street Line) was a local streetcar line of the Pacific Electric. It operated between Downtown Los Angeles and Vineyard Junction, where riders could transfer to interurban cars. Nearly all Venice Short Line cars did not accept local passengers, leaving this as the primary streetcar service along its namesake boulevard.

## Route

From the outbound terminal at Vineyard Junction, the line ran east on Venice Boulevard (formerly known as 16th Street), turning north at Hill Street and running until the Hill Street Station. Early runs continued slightly further north to 4th Street and ending at Broadway. Later in its life, cars operated west of Vineyard as far as San Vicente and Genesee Street. Near Western Avenue, a set of sidings allowed interurban cars to bypass locals.

## History

Portions of the route were constructed by the Los Angeles Traction Company beginning in 1896, and it was completed between Hill Street Station and Vineyard the following year by the Pasadena and Pacific Electric Railway Company. Built to a 42-inch gauge, an additional rail was added in 1908 by Los Angeles Pacific Railroad making a dual-gauge corridor which was shared with the Los Angeles Railway. The short stub track on Fourth Street downtown was installed at this time to help turn the new standard gauge cars.
At the time of the Great Merger of 1911, local service on the line was almost entirely being operated by interurban cars. Dedicated runs began in September 1911. Running to 4th and Broadway ended in 1912 when the line was through-routed with the Echo Park Avenue Line. All interurban cars became exclusive in May 1916, thus elevating the status of the Venice Boulevard Local to be similar to the Watts Line in relation to the Southern Districts. On October 26 of the same year, the line was separated from the Echo Park Line and instead rerouted through with the Hollywood Line. Around 1932, West 16th Street was renamed to Venice Boulevard.
Additional through-routings were instated in the 1930s. Night and Sunday service was re-routed through Echo Park again in 1932. Between 1932 and 1935, rush hour cars were additionally routed to the Western and Franklin Avenue Line. Eventually in 1938, all service was rerouted to the Hollywood Line.
Starting in 1939, evening and Sunday service was being absorbed by interurban runs. With the discontinuance of the Sawtelle and Westgate Lines on July 7, 1940, the Venice Boulevard Line was extended along the old route via a private right-of-way to Genesee Street. The Venice Short Line again began doing local service starting in 1941, continuing until 1943 when it did so only during nights and Sundays.
Sunday and evening service was converted to bus operations starting September 17, 1950 — trips between Vineyard to Genesee continued to operate as a shuttle. Regular service ended two weeks later in October when the Venice Short Line franchise car to Vineyard fulfilled the obligation to operate along the route. That ended after December 28, 1950.
# Mohel book

The Jewish circumcision ceremony, brit mila, is enacted by a trained specialist called a mohel. Typically, mohels record the circumcisions they have performed in small mohel books, which have become especially important in the field of genealogical research.

## Use and format

The first pages of a mohel book are typically dedicated to the special prayers recited during brit mila.
The remaining pages are used to record the details of circumcisions, usually the place, date and name of the boy who was circumcised.
Mohels often chose smaller books for this purpose, so they could easily be carried around. Often, they decorated the books and title pages to look like medieval manuscripts. From the 18th century, blank mohel books were printed especially for circumcision entries. Today, the entries are usually digital, and efforts are being made to digitalise existing mohel books as well.

## Importance for genealogical and geographical research

While Christian births were documented in baptismal registries, Jewish births were not recorded systematically. In central Europe, birth registers were only introduced after 1876 (excepting France). Prior to this, Jewish cemeteries and mohel books were the most reliable records of Jewish family names and place. However, these books often remained in private hands, making them hard to access for scholars and families doing genealogical research.
Mohel books in combination with cemeteries and place names can give an overview of the movement of Jews in Europe in the Middle Ages and later centuries.

## Known historical examples

# Mercedes-Benz L3000

The Mercedes-Benz L3000 was a 4x2 3-tonne rear axle drive truck used by Nazi Germany in World War II, powered by a Daimler-Benz OM 65/4 74 hp 4-cylinder diesel engine. It was used alongside the Opel Blitz, and proved even more reliable in rough terrain; and was used in all fronts and extensively by the Afrika Korps. It was manufactured in three versions, the L3000, the L3000A, and the L3000S, from 1938 to 1944. When production was discontinued, more than 27,700 L3000 type trucks had been built, making it the most produced Mercedes-Benz truck of World War II.

## History

From 1896, Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft built not only passenger cars, but also light and heavy trucks with a payload of up to 10 tonnes (22,000 lb) for the civilian and military sectors. The Reichswehr also used 3-ton trucks as a personnel carrier. Daimler-Benz in 1934 produced some off-road test vehicles under the name Mercedes-Benz LG 63, which went on to successful testing as a Mercedes-Benz LG 3000 in mass production and were delivered from 1936 to the Wehrmacht, Reichspost, Reichsbahn and business operations.
The L3000 was used in all major theaters of World War II where German forces were deployed, and was also used by civilian fire departments.
