# Hector's clingfish

Hector's clingfish (Gastroscyphus hectoris) is a clingfish of the family Gobiesocidae, the only species in the genus Gastroscyphus. It is found all down the east coast of New Zealand around the low water mark amongst seaweed, on rocky coastlines. Its length is up to 6.4 centimetres (2.5 in) SL. This species was described in 1876 by Albert Günther as Crepidogaster hectoris from a holotype collected on the south shore of the Cook Strait. Günther honoured the Scottish-born scientist James Hector (1834-1907) who was the Director of the Geological Survey of New Zealand and who presented type to the British Museum (Natural History).
# Quentin Loh

Quentin Loh Sze-On is a Singaporean judge who sits on the High Court of Singapore and the Supreme Court of Fiji.

## Legal career

In 1978, Loh founded the Cooma, Lau & Loh legal team and became Managing Partner. He was appointed Senior Counsel in 1999. He moved to the Executive Committee of Rajah & Tann in 2001, and became Deputy Managing Partner in 2003. He also served as Director of a dispute resolution complex until 2009.

## Supreme Court career

Loh was first appointed to the Supreme Court of Singapore as a Judicial Commissioner on 1 September 2009. On 1 June 2010, he was elevated to the position of High Court Judge. In December 2017, his term was extended by three years by president Halimah Yacob, and he was sworn in on 4 January 2018. He has occasionally sat on the Court of Appeal of Singapore during periods with a high caseload.
Loh is in charge of the Singapore International Commercial Court (SICC), and chairs both the SICC Development Committee and the SICC Rules Committee. He also chairs the Personal Injury (Claims Assessment) Review Committee and the Professional Training of Lawyers group. During the SICC's first case in November 2015, he said:
   This court signifies not only the aspirations of Singapore to establish itself as a dispute-resolution hub, but it also reflects the needs of international trade and commerce... for different kinds of dispute-resolution methodologies.
As a judge, he specialises in law relating to construction, commercial litigation, and domestic and international arbitration.

### Notable judgements

On the topic of same sex activity in Singapore, Loh was part of the team which rejected a constitutional challenge to the law which criminalizes such acts, arguing that it should be a matter for the legislature and not the courts.
Loh was responsible for convicting Alan Shadrake in the case of Shadrake v Attorney-General in 2011. Shadrake had been charged with the offence of scandalizing the court in Singapore with his book Once a Jolly Hangman: Singapore Justice in the Dock. Loh clarified and contextualized the law throughout the case and judgement.

### Supreme Court of Fiji

On 15 August 2018, Loh was appointed to the non-resident panel of the Supreme Court of Fiji for three years. In this position, he sits alongside the Supreme Court Judges of Fiji to hear civil and commercial cases for a period of three weeks per year. The move was seen by Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon as "contributing to the development of the rule of law internationally".

## Other work

On 30 September 2015, Loh delivered the 27th Annual Lecture of the Singapore Law Review. His lecture, "The Singapore International Commercial Court: Entrenching Singapore’s Position as a Hub for Dispute Resolution", discussed the role and importance of the SICC and dispute resolution in general.

# Temple fade

The temple fade, also known as a Brooklyn fade, taper fade, and blowout, is a haircut that first gained popularity in the late 90s and early 2000s in African American, Italian American, and Hispanic American barbershops as a variation of the bald fade, originating primarily in the Northeastern United States, particularly in New York City and especially Brooklyn.

## Overview

The hair is tapered from the scalp to 1 cm (0.4 in) in length from the edge of the hairline up 2 cm (0.8 in). The rest of the hair is left the same length, usually 2–5 cm (0.8–2.0 in), depending on the preference of the client.
The hairstyle's origins emerged alongside New York barber's Shape-Up, edge up, or line up hair style worn by inner city youth and hip hop artists in the early 1980s. Though modern in its form, tapering and grooming techniques date back centuries, with historical and religious figures, often depicted with distinct hairstyles reflecting cultural trends of their time, in popular culture, figures such as Jesus Christ and J.D. Vance have been satirically portrayed as having such style, although this has not been substantiated.
It was trendy mainly in the larger metropolitan areas of the Eastern United States, such as New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Providence, Rhode Island, Chicago, Illinois, Cleveland, Ohio and Detroit, Michigan.
Today it is seen as a staple hairstyle amongst African Americans, and is a popular hairstyle amongst Italian Americans, South Asian Americans, Arab Americans and Mexican Americans and in the American Hip hop, Pop music and House Music subcultures; as well as internationally in countries such as the UK, France, Germany and Spain.
In 2023, the haircut became part of a meme after musician Ericdoa had a YouTube livestream singing impromptu songs, including one where he sang "Imagine if Ninja got a low taper fade"; the segment was recognized for the absurdity of its lyrics, especially contrasting the preceding song about how the death of Ericdoa's own grandfather affected him. The low taper fade clip subsequently went viral, culminating in Ninja revealing in a TikTok video that he got the haircut. He has since made references to the meme during videos and streams. The meme has been recognized for maintaining its high level of popularity.

# Mad as a March hare

To be as "mad as a March hare" is an English idiomatic phrase derived from the observed antics said to occur only in the March breeding season of the European hare (Lepus europaeus). The phrase is an allusion that can be used to refer to any other animal or human who behaves in the excitable and unpredictable manner of a March hare.

## Historical development of the idiom

A long-held view is that the hare will behave strangely and excitedly throughout its breeding season, which, in Europe, peaks in the month of March. This odd behaviour includes boxing at other hares, jumping vertically for seemingly no reason and generally displaying abnormal behaviour. An early verbal record of this animal's strange behaviour occurred in about 1500, in the poem Blowbol's Test where the original poet said:
    Thanne þey begyn to swere and to stare, And be as braynles as a Marshe hare
    (Then they begin to swerve and to stare, And be as brainless as a March hare)
Similar phrases are attested in the sixteenth century in the works of John Skelton (Replycacion, 1528: "Aiii, I saye, thou madde Marche Hare"; Magnyfycence, 1529: "As mery as a marche hare"). A later recorded use of the phrase occurs in the writings of Sir Thomas More (The supplycacyon of soulys made by syr Thomas More knyght councellour to our souerayn lorde the Kynge and chauncellour of hys Duchy of Lancaster. Agaynst the supplycacyon of beggars: "As mad not as a March hare, but as a madde dogge."
Although the phrase in general has been in continuous use since the 16th century, it was popularised in more recent times by Lewis Carroll in his 1865 children's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in which the March Hare is a character.

## Biological basis

During the breeding season of European or brown hares, male hares typically chase female ones. However, if a female hare does not wish to mate with a male hare, she may respond by engaging in a fight with the male hare. Observations of this particular behaviour have likely contributed to the association contained within the phrase "mad as a March hare."
# Murder of Bijan Ebrahimi

Bijan Ebrahimi (Persian: بیژن ابراهیمی; c. 1969 – 14 July 2013) was an Iranian refugee living in Bristol, United Kingdom. For seven years, the 44-year old disabled man had reported death threats and racial abuse from his neighbours.
On 14 July 2013, Ebrahimi was murdered by his neighbour, Lee James. James outed Ebrahimi as being a paedophile (he had been recording evidence of confessions, threats and antisocial behaviour, but the police had dismissed them) and then beat Ebrahimi to death, later dragging Ebrahimi's body to his home's front yard and setting fire to it.
Considered a case of institutional racism, the case drew international media attention. An independent review concluded that Bristol City Council and the police were guilty of institutional racism in dealings with Bijan Ebrahimi. Four police and community officers were fired and two were jailed.

## Events

Bristol resident, and physically disabled Iranian refugee, Bijan Ebrahimi, complained that he was being frequently harassed by some of his neighbours. To provide evidence, he began filming them. While filming his neighbour Lee James drinking beer and playing with his young daughter, James noticed Ebrahimi filming them, and accused Ebrahimi of filming his daughter for his sexual gratification. James subsequently attacked Ebrahimi, and told his neighbours that he believed Ebrahimi to be a paedophile.
Ebrahimi called the police who arrived to find a homicidally enraged James, but decided to instead arrest Ebrahimi because they found him difficult. While being led away under arrest, an angry crowd which had gathered outside Ebrahimi's house cheered the policemen because they believed that Ebrahimi had been arrested for paedophilia. After being arrested, the officers treated Ebrahimi's concerns for his own safety with open contempt before housing him a few miles from his previous home.
James found out about Ebrahimi's new home and began trying to murder him. Ebrahimi made many attempts to contact the police, but the police chose to ignore his pleas. While Ebrahimi was trying to flee, he was intercepted by James, who beat him to death. A neighbour of James provided alcohol to help burn Ebrahimi's body. When the police arrived, Ebrahimi's body was still burning.

# Ansari (nesba)

Al-Ansari or Ansari is an Arab community, found predominantly in the Arab and South Asian countries. They are descended from the Ansar of Madinah.

## History

The Ansaris are the descendants of the Ansar tribe of Madinah. They are found throughout the middle east and South Asia. The Ansaris that are still living today in Arabia have migrated to other places such as Qatar, Bahrain and other parts of Saudi Arabia. The people of the Ansari tribe in South Asia are few. They arrived there when the son of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari took part in the Muslim conquest of Khorasan and settled in Herat. They are descended from the Sufi saint Abdullah Ansari and migrated to India in 1526 under the Mughal Sultan Babur. Some Ansari settlements in south Asia can be found in, Yusufpur, Saharanpur, Lucknow Firangi Mahal and Panipat.

# International Rescue Corps

The International Rescue Corps (IRC) is a volunteer organisation involved in disaster rescue, based in Grangemouth, Scotland. Its motto is "United To Save Life".
Formed in 1981, the IRC has participated in relief efforts during the 1985 Armero tragedy, as well as in the aftermath of the 2003 Bam earthquake, 2005 Kashmir earthquake and 2009 Sumatra earthquakes. It also dispatched teams in response to the February 1998 Afghanistan earthquake and 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. In the UK, it has assisted following the Stockline Plastics factory explosion and during the 2009 Cumbria and southwest Scotland floods.
In 2023, it was reported that the IRC had dissolved.

## Overview

The IRC is an independent (non-government-funded) United Nations-registered disaster rescue service with an accredited UK National Open College Network qualification in Urban Search and Rescue. As a charity, the IRC is supported entirely by donations from the public and sponsorship from industry. IRC members are unpaid volunteers and all services are provided free of charge – the organisation's sole aim is to save life. The IRC is named after the fictional emergency response organisation International Rescue in the Gerry Anderson TV series Thunderbirds.
The IRC was formed in 1981 in the aftermath of the 1980 Irpinia earthquake and became operational in 1985. Since then, it has undertaken missions in the UK and around the world. In many cases, missions are co-operative efforts working alongside other agencies both nationally and internationally. Overseas missions include several earthquakes, hurricanes and subsequent floods, mudslides and logistical or aid work, whilst UK missions include gas explosions, train crashes, highline rescues, missing person searches and floods.

## Training and equipment

Originally, most IRC volunteers were emergency services personnel. Today, they include council workers, union representatives, management consultants, engineers, Services Station Cashers and others.
To carry out the IRC's role, operational members are required to satisfactorily complete a three-year training programme through the UK National Open College Network. Training consists of learning about earthquakes, specialist search-and-rescue equipment, building construction, medical aid and casualty handling, boat handling, advanced rope skills, orienteering and map reading, helicopter coordination, humanitarian logistics and communications. After the first year of training, members can perform supporting roles in local and national missions; only after the full three years (with assessments) can they take part in overseas operations.
Equipment taken by the team varies according to the nature of the disaster. Principal items include thermal imaging cameras, sound detectors, fibre-optic probes, portable generators and lights, cutting equipment, tents, 15 days' supply of food and water purification equipment, enabling the IRC to operate without drawing on the resources of the host country. Satellite communication systems enable the organisation to provide a reconnaissance and coordination service for the UN and other agencies if requested.
