# Josh Holt

Josh Holt (born 1980) is an Australian TV meteorologist who works at Network 10.

## Biography

After completing his undergraduate degree in Journalism and Media at Sydney University, Holt studied television presenting at NIDA. Holt has also completed his postgraduate university studies in climate and atmospheric sciences graduating with a distinction average. He has also completed his postgraduate studies in meteorology graduating as a student of the Bureau of Meteorology's Graduate Meteorologist Program.
He spent five years at the original The Weather Channel before joining Network 10 in July 2013 as the weather presenter for the Brisbane edition of Ten News at Five.
When Network 10 underwent a major restructure in 2020 which saw the production of each of the state news bulletins centralised to Sydney and Melbourne, it was initially reported that Holt had been made redundant along with his on air colleague, news presenter Georgina Lewis, with the network opting to use one national weather presenter for all bulletins.
However, it was later revealed the network would instead transfer Holt from Brisbane to Sydney where he would present the local weather forecasts on the Brisbane, Sydney and Perth editions of 10 News First while Kate Freebairn would deliver local weather forecasts for the Melbourne and Adelaide editions of 10 News First.
On the Sydney edition of 10 News First, Holt succeeded veteran weather presenter Tim Bailey who had been with the network for 30 years. On the Perth edition of 10 News First, Holt succeeded local Perth weather presenter Michael Schultz, though he has since been replaced by Beau Pearson when local production resumed in March 2023. As of September 2024, Holt has ceased appearing on the Queensland bulletin, following the return of local production to Mount Coot-tha in Brisbane; he continues to present weather on the now-standalone Sydney bulletin and 10 News First Lunchtime, Afternoon and Evening National bulletins .
While at The Weather Channel, Holt was nominated for Most Outstanding Performance by a Broadcast Journalist at the 2010 and 2012 ASTRA Awards but lost to Kieran Gilbert and David Speers, respectively, both from Sky News Australia. However, Holt was part of The Weather Channel team who won the ASTRA Award for Most Outstanding News or Coverage in 2010, for his on air live rolling coverage during the Black Saturday bushfires.
# Shu Shien-Siu

Shu Shien-Siu (Chinese: 徐賢修; pinyin: Xú Xiánxiū; 1912–2001), also known as S. S. Shu, was a Chinese/Taiwanese mathematician, engineer and educator.

## Biography

Shu was born in Yongjia, Wenzhou, Zhejiang on 12 September 1912. Shu studied at Wenzhou High School. In 1935, Shu graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University in Beijing and obtained a B.S. in mathematics. He worked as a teaching assistant at the department after his graduation.
In 1944, Shu went to the United States for graduate studies and entered Brown University. Shu obtained his PhD in applied mathematics in 1948 under the guidance of Charles Loewner. In 1949, Shu worked in Princeton, and in that summer went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to do his postdoctoral research. Shu was a professor of engineering science at Purdue University, and the Chair of Purdue University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Shu was also an adjunct professor of National Taiwan University (in Taipei), National Chiao Tung University, and the National Tsing Hua University (both in Hsinchu) in Taiwan. In 1961, Shu founded the Department of Mathematics at the National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), and held summer mathematical seminar annually. From 1970 to 1975, Shu was the President of the National Tsing Hua University. In 1973, Shu invited Mao Gao-wen to be the Dean of NTHU's engineering faculty, Shen Chun-shan to be the Dean of science faculty, and Fung Yan-Hsiung (馮彥雄) to be the Dean of Nuclear Science and Technology. In Shu's office, National Tsing Hua University developed into a first-class comprehensive university of Taiwan.
From 1973 to 1980, Shu was in charge of the National Science Council (under the Executive Yuan) of Taiwan. From 1979 to 1988, Shu was the chairman and director-general of the Industrial Technology Research Institute. Shu advised to establish the world-famous Hsinchu Science and Industrial Park (HSIP), thus he is widely known as the "Father of HSIP".

## Contributions and honors

Shu made great contributions to Taiwan's education, especially to its mathematical education and higher education. He also contributed greatly to the development of Taiwan's economy and industry, especially Taiwan's high-tech industries. Shu received an honorary doctorate from Purdue University in 1993 and also elected Academician of the Academia Sinica in Taiwan.

## Family

Shu's son, Frank Shu, an astrophysicist, was born in Kunming during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Frank is former President of the American Astronomical Society (AAS), and like his father, has also served as President of National Tsing Hua University.
# Pliohippus

Pliohippus (Greek πλείων (pleion, "more") and ἵππος (ippos, "horse")) is an extinct genus of Equidae, the horse family. Pliohippus arose in the middle Miocene, around 15 million years ago. The long and slim limbs of Pliohippus reveal a quick-footed steppe animal. While some specimens have one toe per leg, others have three (the main toe and two non-functional side toes).
Until recently, because of its many anatomical similarities, Pliohippus was believed to be the ancestor of the present-day horse and its relatives in Equus. Although Pliohippus clearly is an equid and thus related to Equus, its skull had deep facial fossae, a feature not found in any member of Equus. Additionally, its teeth were strongly curved, unlike the very straight teeth of modern horses. Consequently, it is unlikely to be the ancestor of the modern horse; instead, it is likely to be the ancestor of Astrohippus. Pliohippus stood approximately 1.25 metres, similar to the modern horse. Also like the modern horse, Pliohippus was a grazer that fed on steppe grasses of the North American plains it inhabited.
Fossils of Pliohippus have been found at many late Miocene localities in Colorado, the Great Plains (Nebraska, including Ashfall Fossil Beds and the Dakotas) and also Canada. Pliohippus has been found beside Neohipparion.

# Silver Bullet (Frontier City)

Silver Bullet is a steel Looping Star roller coaster currently operating at Frontier City in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf as the first transportable looping roller coaster, the ride was named Looping Star and first owned by German showmen Oscar Bruch and Fritz Kinzler. After its debut at the Cranger Kirmes in 1978, it operated on several fairs in Germany until it was sold to the State Fair of Texas in 1980. After the 1983 season it was relocated to Jolly Roger Amusement Park where it operated for the 1984 and 1985 seasons before being relocated again in 1986. At Frontier City the ride was renamed Silver Bullet and is currently the tallest roller coaster at the park and the one that has been operating there for the longest time.

## Ride experience

After leaving the station, riders instantly start climbing the lift hill. The first drop curves towards the right before going through the vertical loop, which is the only inversion on the ride. After the loop, riders go through a right over-banked turn before going down a small drop followed by a smaller left over-banked turn. After going through another small drop, the ride does a banked turn to the left before dropping once more and going through a right banked turn through a tunnel. After the tunnel, riders are stopped on the brake run and are then let back into the station.
The train on Silver Bullet uses a single lap bar to hold riders in the seat. This design works because the forces from the loop and helices press riders in their seats, and are a common feature with Schwarzkopf looping coasters. In 2017, seat belts were installed in addition to the lap bars.

# Lamine River

The Lamine River (/ləˈmiːn/ lə-MEEN) is a 63.8-mile-long (102.7 km) tributary of the Missouri River in central Missouri in the United States. It is formed in northern Morgan County, about 4 miles (6 km) southeast of Otterville by the confluence of Flat and Richland creeks, and flows generally northwardly through Cooper and Pettis counties. In northwestern Cooper County the Lamine collects the Blackwater River and flows into the Missouri River northeast of Lamine and 6 miles (10 km) west of Boonville. At Clifton City, the river has a mean annual discharge of 455 cubic feet per second. Below the mouth of the Blackwater River, its discharge averages 1,279 cubic feet per second (see Blackwater River.)
The river was named by French explorers for mining operations in the area. According to the Geographic Names Information System, the river has also been known as "La Mine River" and as "Rivière a la Mine." The unincorporated community of Lamine and the township of Lamine were named after the La Mine River.

# The Book of Counted Sorrows

The Book of Counted Sorrows and The Book of Counted Joys are fictional books "quoted" as the source of various epigraphs in many of Dean Koontz's books. The books as cited sources do not actually exist; they are false documents.
Koontz has since released a book under the same title, collecting the various epigraphs and adding additional material.

## Fictional books

Koontz has, for many years, used epigraphs — short quotes at the start of books or chapters — as a literary device in his writings.$^{:¶4}$$^{:0:03–0:13}$ These were often attributed to a source entitled, The Book of Counted Sorrows.$^{:¶4}$$^{:0:03–0:13}$ Koontz also occasionally cites The Book of Counted Joys, such as the epigraph at the start of Odd Thomas.
For many years, Koontz fans searched for the elusive Counted Sorrows.$^{:¶4}$ Koontz and his publisher received up to 3,000 letters per year inquiring about it.$^{:¶4}$$^{:0:18–0:22}$ Librarians reported spending many frustrated hours in their attempts to locate the non-existent title.$^{:0:25–0:34}$
Koontz eventually disclosed that Sorrows was a fictional book; he had created both the title and the verses himself, to suit the story he was writing.$^{:¶4}$$^{:0:46–0:53}$

## Actual book

Eventually, in response to reader demand$^{:¶4}$$^{:1:08–1:13}$, Koontz created an actual book with the title, The Book of Counted Sorrows. It collected all the "Sorrows" epigraphs published in Koontz's work to date, as well as previously-unpublished text. The 22,000-word introduction includes a fictional history of the book.$^{:¶6}$ That "history" asserts that those who read the full volume purportedly die in unusual and unpleasant ways, most often from their heads exploding.$^{:¶26}$$^{:2:37–2:48}$
This Sorrows was first published in 2001 in e-book format, offered through Barnes & Noble. It was the first title published by the Barnes & Noble Digital imprint, and was their best-selling e-book that year." This edition is no longer available.
Later in 2001, Charnel House announced two limited edition prints of the book: A 1250-copy numbered edition, and a 26-copy lettered edition.$^{:1:12–1:21}$
In 2008, Dogged Press issued a 3000-copy hardcover edition.
# 2025 Gloucestershire County Council election

The 2025 Gloucestershire County Council election is due to take place on 1 May 2025 to elect members to Gloucestershire County Council in Gloucestershire, England. All 53 seats will be elected. This will be on the same day as other local elections.

## Background

In the 2021 election, the Conservatives won 28 seats, giving them a slim majority and control of the council. The Liberal Democrats were the second biggest party with 16 seats, followed by Labour with 5 seats and the Greens with 4 seats.
One by-election took place between the 2021 and 2025 elections:
Conservative
By-election :
| Division | Date | Incumbent | Incumbent | Winner | Winner | Cause | Ref. |
| Highnam | 4 May 2023 | | Phil Awford | | Paul McLain | Death | |
In February 2022, councillor Alastair Chambers of Coney Hill and Matson left the Conservative Party following legal proceedings alleging he had breached the Animal Welfare Act, serving the rest of his term as an independent conservative. In May 2024, councillor Sue Williams of Bisley and Painswick left the Conservatives and joined the Green Party, citing disagreements on key policy positions such as the treatment of asylum seekers and the inaccessibility of the benefits system. Williams' resignation reduced the Conservatives to 26 seats and brought the council into no overall control. Williams rejoined the Conservatives in February 2025.
In the 2024 general election, the Conservatives lost all but one of their Gloucestershire seats, retaining North Cotswolds and losing five seats to Labour, who gained Forest of Dean, Gloucester and Stroud, and the Liberal Democrats, who gained Cheltenham and Tewkesbury as well as winning the new South Cotswolds seat. In October 2024, councillor Nick Housden of Stonehouse was suspended from the Conservative Party following undisclosed serious allegations against him, which he has denied. It was claimed that he had moved to the Netherlands, but in December, Housden refused to resign and stated that he was considering standing for election again, but that he was undecided where he would run and for what party.
