# Francis Powell (Royal Navy officer)

Admiral Sir Francis Powell, KCMG, CB (15 September 1849 – 5 October 1927) was a Royal Navy officer who served as Commodore-in-Charge at Hong Kong 1899–1902, during the Boxer Rebellion.

## Biography

Powell was born in 1849. After being educated at Bradfield College he joined the Royal Navy. He was promoted to lieutenant on 6 February 1872, to commodore in 1883, and to captain on 30 June 1889.
He was in command of the cruiser HMS Phoebe from 1892 to 1895, while she served on the Cape and West Africa Station, and was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) on 21 December 1894 for services during military operations in Benin earlier that year. The operations included combined forces from the Royal Navy and Niger Coast Protectorate against the Kingdom of Benin, and Powell took part in the capture of the trading town of Ebrohimi. He transferred to command of the first class cruiser HMS Crescent from 1895 to 1897, then was appointed in command of the battleship HMS Mars on 5 January 1898, serving in the Channel Fleet. After only a year, he was transferred to Hong Kong, where on 5 January 1899 he took command as Commodore-in-Charge stationed at HMS Tamar. He served in Hong Kong for three years, leaving in early 1902. During these years the Boxer Rebellion took place in China, and the base at Hong Kong was more important for the navy than earlier. For his service in China he was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG) in the Coronation Honours list published on 26 June 1902, and knighted by King Edward VII on board HMY Victoria and Albert outside Cowes on 15 August 1902.
He was promoted to flag rank as rear admiral on 1 January 1903, to vice-admiral on 8 February 1907, and retired from the navy at his own request five days later on 13 February 1907.
He was advanced to admiral on the retired list on 12 April 1911.

# Meter serial number

A meter serial number (MSN, or 'meter ID') is an alphanumeric reference used in Great Britain to identify an electricity meter. Although meter serial numbers are intended to be unique, this can not be assured and duplicate serial numbers do exist. There are a variety of formats used over many years, but many meter serial numbers take the form A##AA###### (e.g. S06DS123456). The first letter indicates the manufacturer, the first two digits indicate the year the meter was calibrated and certified, and the second letter (or pair of letters) indicates the company that purchased the meter. The five/six digit sequence is a serial batch number. There may be a space separating the groups of numbers and letters.
Electricity meters in other countries besides Great Britain do not necessarily follow this standard.

# Metacarcinus anthonyi

Metacarcinus anthonyi, the yellow rock crab or yellow crab, is a species of edible crab native to the Pacific coast of North America.

## Distribution

Metacarcinus anthonyi occurs from Magdalena Bay, Baja California north to Humboldt Bay in Northern California, although it is uncommon further north than San Pedro. It lives in rocky areas at depths of up to 132 m (433 ft). Only the juveniles live in the intertidal zone.
Some fossils of M. anthonyi are also known from central and southern California, dating from the Pliocene and Pleistocene.

## Description

Male yellow rock crabs can reach 165 mm carapace width, while females reach 148 mm. The carapace is oval, fairly broad, and widest at the 9th of 10 forward-curving anterolateral teeth. Like other California Cancridae crabs, M. anthonyi has black-tipped claws. M. anthonyi can be distinguished from Romaleon antennarium by its lack of red spotting on its underside. M. anthonyi also tends not to decorate itself and tends not to have hairy legs. It can vary in coloration from yellow to brown with the juvenile crabs tending to be darker than adults.
Metacarcinus anthonyi is one of only two species that regularly reach the minimum landing size for crabs in Southern California – the other being Cancer productus – and is the subject of commercial fisheries. R. antennarium is also caught throughout Southern California commercially

## Ecology and life cycle

Metacarcinus anthonyi is an ecologically important species. It is prey for many fish including the scorpion fish, barred sand bass and other rock fishes. M. anthonyi is also prey for sea otters, a threatened species. M. anthonyi is both a scavenger and a predator eating anything that the large claws can crush including echinoderms, snails and clams.
Metacarcinus anthonyi reaches sexual maturity after 10–12 molts. Mating typically takes place in June, and occurs shortly after the females have molted. Before molting, females release a pheromone which induces courtship behavior in the males.

## Taxonomy

Metacarcinus anthonyi was first described by Mary J. Rathbun in 1897, under the name Cancer anthonyi. The specific epithet commemorates Alfred Webster Anthony, a naturalist working in San Diego.

## Fishery

Metacarcinus anthonyi is harvested by sport and commercial fishermen in California, mostly from Morro Bay south. The California rock crab fishery is made up of three species - the yellow rock crab (C. anthonyi), the brown rock crab (C. antennarius), and the red rock crab (C. productus). Rock crab landings for 1999 were 790,000 pounds and have averaged 1.2 million pounds per year from 1991-1999.
# Meycauayan station

Meycauayan station is an under-construction elevated North–South Commuter Railway (NSCR) station located in Meycauayan, Bulacan, Philippines. The station was part of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) North Main Line before its closure in the 1980s.

## History

This station has been used for passenger and freight transportation by the Philippine National Railways (PNR) and its precursors in the past.
The station was first closed in 1988, but was reopened in the 1990 under the Metrotren project. During the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo, the Meycauayan Railroad Bridge was destroyed and the station became the terminus, until services were altogether abandoned. It was abandoned when the North Main Line ceased operations in 1997. The old station house still stands but is in a state of deterioration and constantly guarded due to informal settlers.
The station was to be rebuilt as a part of the Northrail project, which involved the upgrading of the existing single track to an elevated dual-track system, converting the rail gauge from narrow gauge to standard gauge, and linking Manila to Malolos in Bulacan and further on to Angeles City, Clark Special Economic Zone and Clark International Airport. The project commenced in 2007; the station is in the middle of a clearing where railtracks once were laid. The railway's construction was repeatedly halted then discontinued in 2011, after allegations of overpricing.
It is currently being rebuilt as part of the first phase of the North–South Commuter Railway. The old station will also be preserved. Partial operations are slated to begin by 2027.

# Municipal Borough of Brentford and Chiswick

Brentford and Chiswick was a local government district of Middlesex, England from 1927 to 1965.

## History

It was created an urban district in 1927 by a merger of the former area of the Brentford Urban District and the Chiswick Urban District. It gained the status of municipal borough in 1932. It included the parishes of Chiswick, New Brentford and Old Brentford.
In 1965 the municipal borough was abolished and its former area transferred to Greater London to be combined with that of other districts to form the London Borough of Hounslow.
Brentford and Chiswick was also the name of the parliamentary constituency that covered the area. The seat survived until just before the February 1974 general election, when it was expanded westwards and renamed Brentford and Isleworth.

## Coat of arms

Granted on 1 September 1932, the borough's coat of arms was: Per saltire argent and gules in chief a representation of St. Nicholas proper in base two bars wavy azure and in fesse as many seaxes (Saxon swords) the cutting edges inwards proper pommels and hilts or. Crest : Issuant out of a Saxon crown or a phoenix sable in flames proper. Supporters : On either side a griffin or gorged with a collar gemel wavy azure.
The arms incorporate the emblems which appeared on the seal of the former UDC, which displayed the figures of St. Nicholas in reference to the dedication of the parish church, together with three seaxes from the arms of Middlesex County Council. The blue waves, like those on the supporters, represent the River Brent and the Borough's situation beside the River Thames. The phoenix represents the new borough rising from the ashes of the old Urban District. The griffins appear to have no historical significance.
# Muramyl dipeptide

Muramyl dipeptide is a component of bacterial peptidoglycan, a recognition structure or activator for nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) protein. It is a constituent of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria composed of N-acetylmuramic acid linked by its lactic acid moiety to the N-terminus of an L-alanine D-isoglutamine dipeptide. It can be recognized by the immune system as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern and activate the NALP3 inflammasome which, in turn, leads to cytokine activation, IL-1α and IL-1β especially.
Human NOD2 protein of the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat family, is a cytoplasmic receptor involved in host innate immune system defense. Mutations in the CARD15 gene encoding NOD2 protein have been observed in Crohn's disease patients, decreasing the immune systems of these patients ability to recognize muramyl dipeptide. Analogues of muramyl dipeptide and their potential for immune response therapies in cancer and disease are being investigated. Experiments published in 2008 showed that muramyl dipeptide is involved in a molecular pathway in mice that conferred protection from colitis.
# Muramic acid

Muramic acid is an amino sugar acid. In terms of chemical composition, it is the ether of lactic acid and glucosamine. It occurs naturally as N-acetylmuramic acid in peptidoglycan, whose primary function is a structural component of many typical bacterial cell walls.
# Vehicle Theft Protection Program

Vehicle Theft Protection Program is an educational initiative in North America started by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) and LoJack Corporation designed to help owners of cars, motorcycles, construction equipment and commercial vehicles better understand how to protect their assets from theft.
The two theft prevention organizations kick off the annual program each year by designating July as "National Vehicle Theft Protection Month", as July has one of the highest vehicle theft rates.

## History

The Vehicle Theft Protection Program was launched in late June 2007 by NICB, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to stopping vehicle theft and insurance fraud, and LoJack Corporation, a company that provides tracking and recovery systems for stolen mobile assets.
As part of the program, the organizations commissioned a national survey of 1,000 adults to determine areas where consumers needed the most education regarding vehicle theft protection. The survey found that the majority of respondents had bad habits when it came to protecting their vehicles from theft. A full 33 percent left their cars running unattended, while 40 percent did not hide valuables from view when leaving their car.
For motorcycle owners, the program offered an on-line “Fitness Test” geared to gauge the risk of theft for motorcycle enthusiasts. The on-line survey revealed that 67 percent of motorcycle owners who responded are at a high risk for theft. More than 1,800 respondents participated in the 10-question Fitness Test on the LoJack website during July and August 2007.
And for construction equipment owners, NICB and LoJack have led ongoing seminars that have been presented at trade shows around the country offering practical advice to protect construction equipment against theft.
To accompany the program, a booklet entitled “Get in the Know: Learn to Protect Your Vehicle from Theft” was also created to provide facts, statistics and practical steps owners can take to protect their assets.
Now in its fourth year, the educational initiative aims to raise consumer awareness of vehicle theft and theft protection through a series of events, informative materials, podcasts, surveys and a presence on a variety of websites.

The compound is thought to be part of a chemical defense system that protects the mushrooms against predation. First isolated in 1969, and characterized structurally in 1973, velleral has antimicrobial activity. Several syntheses have been devised.
# Muraena clepsydra

Muraena clepsydra, commonly known as the hourglass moray, is a moray eel found in coral reefs from the Gulf of California to Peru, and the Galapagos Islands. It was described by Charles Henry Gilbert in 1898. It dwells at a depth range of 0 to 25 metres (0 to 82 ft). Males can reach a maximum total length of 120 centimetres (47 in), but more commonly reach a TL of 60 centimetres (24 in).
Due to its wide distribution, lack of known threats, and lack of observed population decline, the IUCN redlist currently lists M. clepsydra as Least Concern.
