# Henry Varnum Poor

Henry Varnum Poor (December 8, 1812 – January 4, 1905) was an American financial analyst and founder of H.V. and H.W. Poor Co, which later evolved into the financial research and analysis bellwether, Standard & Poor's.

## Biography

Born in East Andover, Massachusetts (now Andover, Maine) to Sylvanus and Mary (Merrill) Poor,$^{:2}$ he was the first of his family to attend college, graduating from Bowdoin in 1835. He was descended from General Enoch Poor of the Revolutionary War. He joined his uncle's law firm, being called to the bar in 1838.$^{:6,10}$ Later Henry and his brother John established a law practice in Bangor, Maine. By investing money in Maine's growing timber industry, the Poor brothers made a fortune. John Poor became a minor railway magnate in association with the European and North American Railway, and was heavily involved in the building of the Maine rail network.
In 1849, John purchased the American Railroad Journal, of which Henry became manager and editor.$^{:34}$ In 1860, Henry Poor published History of Railroads and Canals in the United States, an attempt to compile comprehensive information about the financial and operational state of U.S. railroad companies. He later established H.V. and H.W. Poor Co. with his son, Henry William, and published annual updated versions of his book. Standard & Poor's traces its history back to this publication.
In 1862, Henry Poor was appointed a government commissioner to the newly chartered Union Pacific Railroad and left his position as editor of the Journal. That same year he was elected as the railroad company's first Secretary.$^{:62}$ He left the company shortly thereafter.$^{:228}$
Poor was a resident of Tuxedo Park, New York, which was founded by his good friend Pierre Lorillard in 1886. He also served as a co-founder of the American Geographical Society in 1851.
He died in Brookline, Massachusetts, at the age of 92.

# Darwin Coastal

The Darwin Coastal, an IBRA bioregion, is located in the Northern Territory of Australia.

## Geography

It comprises an area of 2,843,199 hectares (7,025,700 acres) of central Arnhem Land, in the Top End of the Northern Territory.
This Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA) bioregion is generally flat, low-lying coastlands, drained by several large rivers. Vegetation communities include eucalypt forest and woodlands with tussock grass and hummock grass understorey.
Land use is mixed, with urban development around Darwin, Aboriginal land, pastoral leases and conservation reserves. Major population centres are Darwin and Palmerston.
# Torre Aqualina

Torre Aqualina (Spanish, Aqualina Tower) is a high-rise residential building completed in 2009 in Rosario, province of Santa Fe, Argentina. It is located on the corner of San Luis and Alem Streets, in Barrio Martín, a few blocks south of the National Flag Memorial.
The tower is 125 m (410 ft) high, and includes 40 stories devoted to luxury apartments, and 2 basement floors, with a total area of 14,700 m². The apartments feature views of the city center and the Paraná River.
The Torre Aqualina was completed in late 2009, and was until the completion of the Dolfines Guaraní towers, the tallest building in Rosario, as well as in Argentina outside the city of Buenos Aires.

## Design and construction

Torre Aqualina was designed by Mario Roberto Álvarez, a Buenos Aires-born architect who also designed (among others) the Le Parc tower (the tallest residential building in Argentina), the seat of the Rosario branch of the Banco de la Nación Argentina, the intelligent building of the Rosario Board of Trade, and the airports of Neuquén and Córdoba.
The building was developed by the Rosario-based firm OP Developers, and the construction contract was awarded to Constructora Sudamericana.

## Criticism

Since the project was first presented, in 2003, Aqualina has been criticized by the citizens in its neighbourhood. The builders have assured that the building will harmonize with its environment. During the construction of the tower, two judicial rulings (similar to injunctions) were interposed to stop the works, reacting to demands that an environmental study was needed to assess the impact of the tower on the surroundings. In 2005, an accusation was also filed against the Municipality of Rosario because it had let the works proceed in spite of these rulings. The case went up the judicial ladder until, in May 2007, the Supreme Court of Justice of Santa Fe Province ruled that an environmental impact study of Aqualina was not necessary.
# Will (Indian)

Will (probably born in the 1650s or 1660s) was a Miskito pirate from the Misquito Coast, then part of the Spanish Main. He was left behind on the uninhabited Robinson Crusoe Island (today part of Insular Chile), surviving there alone for more than three years. It is possible that Will became the inspiration for Man Friday, the cannibal character in Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe.

## In English service

As with other Miskitos, Will resisted the Spanish encroachment on their lands, and consequently allied with English pirates operating in the region. In 1680, he and several other Misquitos went on board an English vessel under the command of John Watling. The English gave names to the Miskitos, and he ended up with the name Will. At the end of that year, the English decided to refresh their supplies on the largest of the uninhabited Juan Fernández Islands. On 1 January 1681, while Will was hunting for goats in the island's interior, his comrades suddenly departed without him after having seen Spanish ships approaching in the horizon.

## Castaway life

According to William Dampier's book A New Voyage Round the World, Will started his life with
   "his Gun and a Knife, with a small Horn of Powder, and a few Shot; which being spent, he contrived a way by notching his Knife, to saw the Barrel of his Gun into small Pieces, wherewith he made Harpoons, Lances, Hooks and a long Knife; heating the pieces first in the fire, which he struck with his Gunflint, and a piece of the Barrel of his Gun, which he hardened; having learnt to do that among the English."
In the beginning Will killed and ate seals but later he only killed seals "but to make [fishing] Lines, cutting their Skins into Thongs."
According to the account of William Dampier, the only first-hand source of information on Will, Will was seen by Spanish landing parties a number of times, but was never captured. Will was rescued by an English party under the command of Dampier on 22 March 1684, and he is recorded to have, upon being reached by the rescuers, immediately killed three goats and served them up in the English style, with cabbage.

## Connections to Robinson Crusoe

One of the first writers to connect the story of Will in Dampier to Robinson Crusoe was Thomas Roscoe, in his 1831 annotated edition of Defoe's text.

# Union Hospital (Hong Kong)

Union Hospital (Chinese: 仁安醫院) is a for profit hospital in Tai Wai, Sha Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong. It was established on 22 June 1994 and was developed by the Henderson Land Development Co. Ltd.. It is the first private general hospital in the New Territories East part of the Hong Kong SAR.

## History

The project for the building of the hospital was divided into two phases. Phase one included a multi-storey main hospital building with four ward floors (which accommodate 200 beds), a three-storey Medical Centre, a 24-storey staff quarters as well as an underground car park with more than 170 spaces. A total gross floor area of 27,756 m$^2$ has been constructed and over HK$400 million have already been expended.
The phase two hospital extension project was completed in 2006, with the construction costs exceeding HK$210 million. By constructing four new floors atop the existing building, an extra 107 beds and more new facilities have been provided to cope with the growing demand for hospital services. The additions include the Minimally Invasive Centre, Day Therapy Centre, Surgical Ward, and the 5-star-hotel-like Private Ward.
The Union Hospital is surveyed and accredited by QHA Trent Accreditation of the United Kingdom, a major international healthcare accreditation group.
As of 2008, staff of the hospital are presenting internationally on the subject of medical tourism.

# Paramethadione

Paramethadione (brand name Paradione) is an anticonvulsant drug of the chemical class called oxazolidinediones developed by the Illinois-based pharmaceutical company Abbott Laboratories (known as AbbVie since January 1, 2013), and approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1949 for the treatment of absence seizures, also called partial seizures.
In 1960, the yearly cost for 900 mg/day paramethadione was approximately $66, which would translate to $462 yearly in 2007 (with CPI inflation) if paramethadione was still sold.

## Mechanism of Action

Paramethadione acts to reduce T-type calcium currents in thalamic neurons which has been proposed to underlie the 3-Hz spike-and-wave discharge seen on electroencephalogram (EEG) during absence seizures.

## Adverse Effects

Paramethadione is associated with various adverse effects including sedation, increased visual sensitivity to light, GI distress, edema, nephropathy, neutropenia, myasthenia gravis-like syndrome, fatal aplastic anemia, and severe birth defects known as fetal trimethadione syndrome (or paramethadione syndrome).

## History, society, and culture
### FDA approval

Paramethadione (brand name Paradione) was originally approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1949, as a second-line treatment for petit mal and absence seizures. Paramethadione was ultimately discontinued in 1994 due to safety and efficacy concerns, such as being associated with fetal trimethadione syndrome, which is also known as paramethadione syndrome.

### Patents

Paramethadione was first patented in 1949 by Abbott Laboratories Abbott Labbortories continued to hold the patent to paramethadione until the approval was withdrawn in 2004 due to the drug no longer being in use.

### Clinical Trials

In the 1940s trimethadione (brand name Tridione) was the only available treatment for absence seizures. However, while effective, this drug presented with significant adverse effects, which led to the search for an equally effective analog. While limited information is available from the time, a pre-market clinical study found that paramethadione, an analog of trimethadione, was not quite as effective at alleviating seizures as trimethadione, however, it did have a significantly lower side effect profile in 85 patients over the course of 2 years. Notably, 80% of patients still showed a good response to paramethadione.

## Chemistry

Paramethadione, 5-ethyl-3,5-dimethyloxazolidine-2,4-dione, differs from trimethadione only in the substitution of one methyl group with an ethyl group. It is synthesized in a completely analogous manner, except that it comes from 2-hydroxy-2-methylbutyric acid instead of 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid.
# Prix Brentano

The Prix Brentano was a literary award given annually by the American bookstore chain Brentano's to a French novel that "illustrate[s] eminently the French cultural ideal". The first award (with a check for $1,000) was given in 1929.
The prize was installed to present a French novel in English translation to an American reading public. The first "Committee of Honor" comprised poet and diplomat Paul Claudel, diplomat and politician Myron T. Herrick, and Irish novelist George Moore. The French audience was presented a high-paying award supposedly free of the machinations of French juried prizes. Jacques Le Clerq, translator of the first two winning novels, said that since the jury was composed of foreigners there could be "no manoeuvres of cliques such as must necessarily attend French prize awards". At the time, it was the highest-paying literary award beside the Nobel Prize in Literature. The prizewinning novel was subsequently translated into English and published by Brentano's. The first jury included translator Lewis Galantière, novelist and critic Malcolm Cowley, and Jacques Le Clerq, and unanimously awarded the prize to Jean Giono's debut novel Colline, translated in English as Hill of Destiny. The second was awarded to Jeanne Galzy for Burnt Offering. It does not appear as if any more were awarded after 1930.

## Winners

* Jean Giono, Hill of Destiny, 1929
* Jeanne Galzy, Burnt Offering, 1930

# Tragedy Rocks

Tragedy Rocks is the debut album by British indie band The Crimea, released on Warner Bros. Records in 2005. A self-released version had been available to order directly from the band the previous year, featuring different recordings.

## Critical reception

| Source | Rating |
| Drowned in Sound | |
| PopMatters | |
| Stylus Magazine | B |
Stylus Magazine's Andrew Iliff said the album "builds on the whimsical early promise of the band, delivering a clutch of bittersweet melodies designed to bury themselves in your subconscious and niggle at your cerebellum." David Bernard of PopMatters remarked that "the songs are simple on the surface and immediately accessible, but the second and third listens reveal the emotional weight behind the excellent melodies and lyrics." Natasha Tripney of musicOMH compared the album's sound to that of The Flaming Lips, and said that the Crimea's "offbeat lyrics and general quirkiness rarely gets in the way of the music, as it sometimes can with less talented bands". Julian Ridgway of Drowned in Sound wrote: "Suitably for a band named after the site of a famous conflict, the album is a battle between opposing forces – bleakness and humour, beauty and ugliness, pure pop and musical interest. Sometimes that works, sometimes it implodes, but it never stays still."
