# Ephraim Bacon

Ephraim Bacon IV (c. February 14, 1780–January 10, 1861) was an American church minister who served as US government agent on the second American Colonization Society expedition to Africa in 1821. The expedition struggled to purchase land in Sierra Leone to found a colony and many of the colonists died from fever. Bacon was affected by the disease and fled the expedition on a British ship to Barbados, later returning to the United States. US Navy officer Robert F. Stockton was sent to take over negotiations and eventually secured land to found a colony that would become Liberia.

## African expedition

Ephraim Bacon was a church minister. He was commissioned as a US government agent for the second American Colonization Society (ACS) expedition to Africa, together with Jonathan B Winn. The expedition followed the failure of the first party, on which Ephraim's brother Samuel Bacon had died whilst serving as government agent. The ACS agents on the second expedition were Christian Wiltberger and Joseph R Andrus. Bacon was accompanied on the expedition by his wife.
The expedition consisted of 33 emigrants, mostly free African-Americans, who sailed on board the brig Nautilus under Captain Robert F. Stockton. The Nautlius left the United States on 21 January 1821 and arrived at the British colony of Sierra Leone on 9 March. The expedition's leaders had no specific location in mind for establishing a colony and stayed in Fourah Bay whilst looking for a site. The inhabitants of Sherbro Island, where many of the first expedition had perished, refused to sell land to the ACS. Negotiations with King Ben of the Bassa territory also proved unsuccessful as the ACS refused to pay an ongoing fee to the king of $300 per year for the 40 square miles (100 km$^2$) of land.
Bacon and Andrus chartered a schooner, the Augusta, to search southern Sierra Leone for a site. Bacon attempted to encourage more emigrants to the expedition by compiling an account of his work, entitled Abstract of a Journal of E. Bacon, Assistant Agent of the United States, to Africa, which was published in Washington DC in 1821. Bacon noted the religious fervour of the Sierra Leoneans, describing how they spent all day in church on Sundays.

## Flight to Barbados

With negotiations ongoing the ACS sent Eli Ayres to help the expedition secure land. Upon his arrival he found that Andrus and Winn had died of fever and Bacon, who had also been afflicted, had fled the colony. Bacon had found a British vessel which provided him passage to Barbados; he later recovered and returned to the United States. The colonists Bacon had abandoned were distrustful of the ACS and its officers; even after threatened by Ayres many refused to join him and remained as residents of Sierra Leone.
The ACS persuaded President James Monroe to have Stockton take over negotiations. Stockton secured land at Cape Mesurado from King Peter of the Dey at gunpoint, in exchange for goods worth less than $300. This site grew into the colony of Liberia.
# Epicoccum thailandicum

Epicoccum thailandicum is a species of fungi first described in Thailand in 2017 living saprobic on grass litter - thus resulting in the specimen name. This is just one of 89 different species of Epicoccum. E. thailandicum is morphologically similar to Epicoccum sorghinum, but the conidial dimensions differ. E. thailandicum has a differing clade in comparison to E. sorghinum, as well making it genetically distinct from this species.
E. thailandicum is a pathogenic fungus infecting Amomum villosum leaves and as a lab contaminate can cause accumulations of pharmacodynamic compounds.

# Antonio Magliabechi

Antonio di Marco Magliabechi (or Magliabecchi; 29 October 1633 - 4 July 1714) was an Italian librarian, scholar and bibliophile.

## Biography

He was born at Florence, the son of a burgher named Marco Magliabechi, and Ginevra Baldorietta. His father died when Antonio was a young man, and he worked briefly in the studio of Matteo Roselli, but was apprenticed to a goldsmith in Ponto Vecchio. There he worked in this capacity until his fortieth year, until Michele Ermini, librarian to Cardinal de' Medici, recognized his academic ability and taught him Latin, Greek, and Hebrew.
In 1673 he became librarian to Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. Magliabechi became the central figure of literary life in Florence, and scholars of every nation sought his acquaintance and corresponded with him. Whilst this eminent post gave him considerable prominence, he is remembered more for his personal characteristics and his vast store of self-acquired learning. He was nicknamed the Enciclopedic, the animated Library, a literary glutton (Divoratore di Libri), and the most rational of bibliomaniacs, inasmuch as he read everything he bought. His own library consisted of 40,000 books and 10,000 manuscripts. His house literally overflowed with books; the stairways were lined with them, and they even filled the front porch. Many stories are told of his marvellous memory that was "like wax to receive and marble to retain."
In worldly matters Magliabechi was extremely negligent. Reputedly, he once even forgot to draw his salary for over a year. He wore his clothes until they fell from him, and thought it a great waste of time to undress at night, "life being so short and books so plentiful". He welcomed all inquiring scholars, provided they did not disturb him while at work. He had a hearty dislike for Jesuits. The story goes that one day in pointing out the Palazzo Riccardi to a stranger he said, "Here the new birth of learning took place," and then turning to the college of the Jesuits, "There they have come back to bury it."
Magliabecchi died at the age of 81, in 1714, at the monastery of Sta. Maria Novella. He left his books to the Grand Duke to be used as a public library; his fortune went to the poor. His library, known as the "Magliabechiana", was combined with the grand-ducal private library by Victor Emmanuel II of Italy in 1861, the two forming the core of the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale Firenze.

## Eccentricities

Magliabechi was known as an eccentric. He was a man of a most forbidding and savage aspect, and exceedingly negligent of his person. He refused to be waited upon. His diet was commonly three hard-boiled eggs, with a draught of water. Magliabechi did not care about personal hygiene and slept in his clothes. He had a small window in his door, through which he could see all those who approached him; and if he did not wish for their company, he would not admit them. He spent some hours in each day at the palace library; but is said never in his life to have gone farther from Florence than to Prato, whither he once accompanied Cardinal Henry Noris, librarian at the Vatican, to see a manuscript.
# Christchurch Club

The Christchurch Club is a historic private members' club in the central city of Christchurch, New Zealand. The older of the two Christchurch clubs, it was founded by rural landholders in 1856; the rival organisation, the Canterbury Club, was a breakaway that was founded by urban professionals in 1872.
The Christchurch Club, originally simply known as The Club, was founded by wealthy runholders in 1856. George Ross was one of the founding members. At first, premises were rented in Durham Street for members who were visiting Christchurch to use. Benjamin Mountfort, Christchurch's pre-eminent architect, was engaged to design the club's building for the site adjacent to Latimer Square on Worcester Street. The design is unusual and unique for Mountfort, and is thought to be a compromise between an Italian Palazzo architecture preferred by the club members that can be found in the Travellers and Reform Clubs in London, and Mountfort's preference for a Gothic architecture. The chosen Italian Villa style was seen as relatively informal yet elegant and rural. The building was erected in 1861–62. Due to the composition of its membership, the Christchurch Club was "an informal seat of power in nineteenth century Canterbury". The building was registered by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (since renamed to Heritage New Zealand) on 2 April 1985 as a Category I historic place.
The Christchurch Club building suffered significant damage in the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, and as of April 2016 operates out of the George Hotel while the historic premises are under repair. There have been a number of attempts over the decades for the two Christchurch clubs to merge again, and the last such proposal was discussed in 2013.

# Christopher K. Travis

Christopher K. Travis Colorado. Travis has served as a consultant and lead designer for residential and historic projects in Texas and Colorado since 1975. He is best known for using psychological and therapeutic methods to inform the design of homes and other buildings, a process that has been referred to as "emotional architecture." Travis' work was profiled in Samuel D. Gosling's book Snoop: What Your Stuff Says About You.

## Career

After designing and building in Houston, Texas, Travis moved to Round Top, Texas in 1992 and bought a Texas walnut cabin and restored it. Shortly after he finished the cabin, his restoration, design, and construction business began to grow and Travis began utilizing psychological techniques in the design and planning of projects for his clients. He began each design process with psychological questionnaire and used their responses to tailor his designs to their personalities, values and lifestyle.
Travis was influenced by systems theory, perception science and the ideas of Christopher Alexander's A Pattern Language in his work. Travis also learned from the work of physiologist Scott Turner at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, who wrote about animal-built structures, and Irwin Altman, a professor of social psychology at the University of Utah, who studied how environment affects behavior.

### Sentient Architecture

Travis rebranded his practice as Sentient Architecture, LLC with commercial architect Brett Pitt in 2005. Travis was the lead designer for residential and historic projects and Pitt ran the commercial business. In 2006, Travis became the CEO of Truehome while continuing his design practice with Sentient Architecture. Later that year, Cecil Reynolds, a neuropsychologist, behavioral psychologist Samuel D. Gosling, and environmental psychologist, Sally Augustin all became investors and advisers to the company. as did. Gosling and his research assistant, Lindsay Graham, at the University of Texas at Austin who also began a series of research studies based on Travis' methods.

### Truehome

Travis formed Truehome to develop software based on the principles he developed to better understand the psychology of is design clients. Truehome launched a beta version of the software in 2012. In December 2014, it ceased doing business.

## Writing and publishing

In 1995, Travis founded Round Top Publishing Company and launched a regional quarterly called the Round Top Register, Travis also writes the Architecture of Life blog where he explores his ideas about psychology and architecture.

# Lepidosperma avium

Lepidosperma avium, commonly named the central Australian rapier-sedge and the desert rush, is a rare species of sedge found in the Everard Ranges of remote northern South Australia and neighbouring parts of the Northern Territory.

## Taxonomy

Lepidosperma avium was first scientifically described by Karen L. Wilson in 1994, from the Everard Ranges, which the species is believed to be endemic to.
L. avium shares the feature of having little, spiky branches and flattened flower clusters with several other species in the same genus: Lepidosperma clipeicola, Lepidosperma pauperum (from New Caledonia), Lepidosperma perteres, and Lepidosperma urophorum.
The species epithet refers to the species' remoteness – avium, comes from the Latin avius, meaning isolated or out of the way.
Specimens of the species are held in each of Australia's state herbariums, as well as in the Australian National Herbarium.

## Description

Lepidosperma avium forms clumps, between 1.2 and 2.4 metres (3.9 and 7.9 ft) tall. The stems are stiff, hairless, and smooth, less than a centimetre thick, with small lines and grooves all over the surface.

## Ecology

L. avium occupies a "petrophilous (rock-loving)" ecological niche. The sedges grow around rocky hills and boulders. The main threats to the species are bushfires.
