# George Siscoe

George L. Siscoe (June 13, 1937 – April 9, 2022) was an American physicist and professor emeritus of space physics at Boston University. He made major contributions to the understanding of the Earth's magnetosphere and the heliosphere, particularly in helping to establishing the field of space weather and the term heliophysics - a term which is now standard use.

## Early life and education

Siscoe was born in Lansing, Michigan, in 1937 and studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), receiving his bachelor's degree in 1960 and his doctorate in 1964, both in physics.

## Research career

Siscoe published over 300 peer-reviewed articles (as of 10 October 2019) across a range of topics within space physics. His early career was as a postdoctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology, becoming an assistant professor of physics at MIT in 1966 before moving to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as a tenured professor. While at UCLA, he was chair of the Department of Atmospheric Science from 1983 to 1988 and again from 1991 to 1993.
In 1993, he made his final move to Boston University as a research professor. Alongside academic papers, Siscoe co-edited a monograph on space weather and several textbooks on heliophysics.
He was a fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), where the fellowship program recognizes AGU members who have made exceptional contributions to Earth and space science through a breakthrough, discovery, or innovation in their field.
In his retirement he owned and ran the Old Professor's Bookshop in Belfast, Maine.

# George Taylor (Medal of Honor)

George Taylor (November 15, 1830 – October 7, 1893) was a Union Navy sailor in the American Civil War and a recipient of the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions at the Battle of Mobile Bay.

## Biography

Born on November 15, 1830, in Watertown, New York, Taylor was still living in that state when he joined the Navy. He served during the Civil War as an armorer on the USS Lackawanna. At the Battle of Mobile Bay on August 5, 1864, his ship engaged the CSS Tennessee and was struck by a broadside at close range. The Confederate artillery shells hit Lackawanna's berth deck near the magazine, causing mass casualties and igniting loose gunpowder which had spilled onto the floor while Lackawanna's sailors were assembling their own shells. The flames moved along a passageway towards the powder room, where 17 tons of gunpowder were stored. Although he had received a wound to his forehead, Taylor ran towards the fire and extinguished it with his bare hands, thereby saving his ship. He then returned to his duties for the remainder of the battle, despite his hands being burned down to the bone. For this action, he was awarded the Medal of Honor four months later, on December 31, 1864.
Taylor's official Medal of Honor citation reads:
   On board the U.S.S. Lackawanna during successful attacks against Fort Morgan, rebel gunboats and the ram Tennessee in Mobile Bay, on 5 August 1864. When an enemy shell exploded in the shellroom, Taylor although wounded went into the room and, with his hand, extinguished the fire from the explosion. He then carried out his duties during the remainder of the prolonged action which resulted in the capture of the prize rebel ram Tennessee and in the damaging and destruction of Fort Morgan.
Taylor died on October 7, 1893, at age 62 and was buried in Paragould, Arkansas.
# 1952 Sables Grand Prix

The 2nd Grand Prix de Sables d'Olonne was a Formula Two motor race held on 13 July 1952 at Les Sables-d'Olonne, in Pays de la Loire, France. It was round 6 of Les Grands Prix de France Formula Two Championship. Race distance was decided not by distance but by time, the duration being 3 hours. The race was won by Luigi Villoresi in a Ferrari 500. Peter Collins was second in an HWM-Alta and Johnny Claes third in a Simca Gordini Type 15. Alberto Ascari started from pole in a Ferrari 500 and set fastest lap but crashed and retired.

# Gradius: The Interstellar Assault

Gradius: The Interstellar Assault, released as Nemesis II: The Return of the Hero in Europe, and Nemesis II in Japan, is the second Game Boy game in the Gradius series. The game was later ported to the Konami GB Collection series of Super Game Boy and Game Boy Color compilations; it can be found in the Japanese Vol. 3 and the European Vol. 4. Like Gradius before it, these versions were renamed Gradius II for the Japanese Vol. 3 and Gradius II: The Return of the Hero for the European Vol. 4.

## Gameplay

Gradius: The Interstellar Assault retains the traditional horizontal scrolling gameplay from the Gradius series. Once again the player takes control of the Vic Viper and flies through five different stages destroying Bacterion's army.
The game retains the traditional power-up bar from the original Gradius. The player can speed-up multiple times, use missiles, shoot double firepower or lasers, use several options at a time and use the classic shield (although it is referred to as a forcefield). However, before each game is started or continued, the player is given a "Weapon Select" screen. Here the player can choose between one of three settings for the missiles, double firepower, and lasers.

## Reception

James Beaven gave the game a 90% in GamesMaster, commenting, "Forget the R-Type games. This is the shoot-em-up to end 'em all! The bad guys don't leave you alone for a second, and the six-strong assortment of power ups, well, 'Way-hey', as Eric Morecambe used to say."
French magazine Joypad [fr] gave the game a 92%, saying that it "doesn't let you breathe for a second, the enemies come from all sides, and they're multiform. Regularly, you face a colossal monster that nearly takes up the entire screen."

# Malayan black magpie

The Malayan black magpie (Platysmurus leucopterus) is a species of bird in the family Corvidae. Despite its name, it is neither a magpie nor, as was long believed, a jay, but a treepie. Treepies are a distinct group of corvids externally similar to magpies.

## Distribution and habitat

It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, and Thailand. The Bornean black magpie (P. atterimus) was formerly considered a subspecies. The natural habitats of the Malayan black magpie are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical mangrove forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.

# Louis Barrabé

Louis Barrabé (15 March 1895 – 13 February 1961) was a French economic field geologist and professor who contributed to studies of the geology of Madagascar and the Caribbean Islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe.
Barrabé was born in Bonneval where his father was an amateur naturalist and member of the Linnean Society of Normandy. Interested in natural history at an early age but his studies were interrupted by the war. He was conscripted during World War I and demobilized in 1919 as a lieutenant and awarded a Croix de Guerre. He then applied to the Ecole normale supérieure where his brother had studied before being killed in the war. He graduated in 1921, studying under Léon Bertrand along with Pierre Viennot and Daniel Schneegans. Together they worked on the field and discovered an oil deposit at Gabian in 1924 and natural gas at Saint-Marcet in 1939. In 1927 he was posted to Martinique and began to suffer from paralysis of the legs from which he recovered after returning to France. It is thought that it may have been a poisoning attempt. His doctoral thesis at the University of Paris was on the geology of Martinique and Guadeloupe. He taught at the University of Paris from 1931 to 1961. His students discovered uranium deposits in France in 1948. He taught his students empiricism and dissuaded them from holding too tightly to theories. He died from a heart attack.

# Lotus kick

The lotus kick (Chinese: 腾空飞脚; pinyin: téng kōng fēi jiǎo; lit. '"flying jump kick"'), also known as the jump outside or téng kōng bǎi lián is a popular jump in modern wushu taolu.

## Execution
### Running

The jump involves performing an outside kick (bǎi lián pāi jiǎo) in the air while spinning. The original method, seen in early modern changquan routines, includes a running setup into a jump on the right leg. While the right leg pushes upwards, the left leg either bends into a knee-raised position or to an extended position. During this, the right leg performs the outside kick in the air. After the kick, the performer has the option to either land on the left leg first or with both legs at the same time. In traditional changquan, it is typically used as a long-range attack, much like a tornado kick.

### Standing

The modern lotus kick includes a stationary setup where the jump is executed evenly on both legs. The outside kick is still executed with the right leg, but the body position during the spin in the air is much more compact compared to the running method. Due to this, advanced practitioners may increase the difficulty of the move by rotating greater than 360°, usually 540° or 720° which is present in international competition. In the World Wushu Championships, the Lotus Kick is a Difficulty Technique for changquan, nanquan, and taijiquan events with standardized connections, criteria, and deduction content.

# Gaspard Vieusseux

Gaspard Vieusseux (February 18, 1746 – October 21, 1814) was a Genevan physician born in Geneva.
In 1766 he obtained his doctorate from the University of Leiden, and subsequently returned to Geneva in order to practice medicine.
Vieusseux is remembered for his pioneer work with neurological disorders. In 1806 he provided an early clinical description of bacterial meningitis — this being in regards to an 1805 epidemic of the disease in the vicinity of Geneva. In 1887 Anton Weichselbaum (1845–1920) of Vienna isolated the agent of meningitis, now known as meningococcus.
In 1808 he provided the first clinical description of lateral medullary infarction to the Société médicochirugicale de Genève, and in 1810 described this condition to the Medical and Chirurgical Society of London. However, this disease was later to become known as "Wallenberg's syndrome", named after neurologist Adolf Wallenberg (1862–1949), who in 1901 provided a precise anatomical description of the disorder from an autopsy. Vieusseux also distinguished himself as an early advocate of vaccinations for treatment against smallpox.
