# Meconopsis manasluensis

Meconopsis manasluensis is a red-flowered Himalayan poppy belonging to Meconopsis subg. Discogyne, which forms a natural grouping of 6 or 7 species within the genus all characterised by a stylar disc surmounting the ovary (lacking in other Meconopsis). As reflected by the species etymology, M. manasluensis is endemic to the vicinity of the Manaslu Himal of Gorkha district, central Nepal, where it grows at high elevation (ca. 4000 m) and so far remains known only from its type collection locality.
Meconopsis manasluensis is easily distinguished within subgenus Discogyne through its multiple flowering stems, unlike the single prominent fleshy stem in all other species. The closely related M. pinnatifolia is known from the same general locality in the wild, however possible mechanisms preventing cross-fertilisation between M. manasluensis and this species remain unclear.
Specimens of M. manasluensis were first collected on the joint Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh/University of Tokyo Manaslu '08 expedition to the Manaslu Eco-Tourism Area in 2008. It was not until later herbarium research undertaken for preparation of the Flora of Nepal that the specimens were discovered to constitute a new species, subsequently described in 2011 alongside Meconopsis autumnalis.

## Ecology

Meconopsis manasluensis is found growing in alpine scrub (Betula utilis, Berberis, Lonicera, Salix, etc.) and herb-rich alpine grasslands at elevations in and around 4000 m in moist, humus-rich soils. The plant is locally abundant, but a small or possibly severely restricted specific distribution may give cause for conservational concern. Flowering is July–August.

# Ukiyo-e Ruikō

The Ukiyo-e Ruikō (浮世絵類考, "Various Thoughts on Ukiyo-e") is a Japanese collection of commentaries and biographies of ukiyo-e artists. It did not appear in print during the Edo period in which it was produced, but was circulated in handwritten copies subject with numerous additions and alterations. The writer Ōta Nanpo produced the first version in 1790.
More than 120 variants of the Ukiyo-e Ruikō are known. An edition with updates by Santō Kyōden, Sasaya Shishichi Kuninori, and Shikitei Sanba in 1802 is the earliest extant copy, produced under the title Ukiyo-e Kōshō. This version lists 37 artists and focuses mainly on ukiyo-e painters and major print designers.
The Ukiyo-e Ruikō ranks artists regarded for their paintings higher than those mainly associated with their print designs, and highlights artists training in painterly schools such as the Kanō or painting traditions such as Yamato-e, suggesting the prestige painting held over printing.
# PFL 3 (2018)

The PFL 3 mixed martial arts event for the 2018 season of the Professional Fighters League was held on July 5, 2018, at the Charles E. Smith Center in Washington, D.C. It was the third regular season event of 2018 and included only fights in the welterweight and middleweight divisions.

## Standings after event

The point system consists of outcome based scoring and bonuses for an early win. Under the outcome based scoring system, the winner of a fight receives 3 points and the loser receives 0 points. If the fight ends in a draw, both fighters will receive 1 point. The bonus for winning a fight in the first, second, or third round is 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point respectively. For example, if a fighter wins a fight in the first round, then the fighter will receive 6 total points. If a fighter misses weight, then the fighter that missed weight will receive 0 points and his opponent will receive 3 points due to a walkover victory.

# Marbled stingfish

The marbled spinefish (Cottapistus cottoides), also known as the yellow waspfish, is a species of ray-finned fish, a waspfish belonging to the subfamily Tetraroginae of the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes and their relatives. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Cottapistus. This species is found in the Indo-West Pacific.

## Taxonomy

The marbled stingfish was first formally described as Perca cottoides in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae. Linnaeus did not give a type locality but it is thought to be the East Indies. In 1876 Pieter Bleeker classified this species within the monotypic genus Cottapistus and it remains the only species in that genus. This genus is included in the subfamily Tetraroginae in the 5th edition of Fishes of the World however other authorities place that subfamily within the stonefish family Synanceiidae, while other authorities classify this subfamily as a family in its own right. The genus name combines the sculpin genus Cottus with the genus Apistus, which this species had been placed in, while the specific name, cottoides, also refers to the sculpin-like appearance of this species.

## Description

The marbled spinfish has an oblong and strongly compressed body which has a depth of between one third and four fifths of its standard length. The front part of the body has no scales above the operculum. The space between the eyes is broad and the caudal fin is rounded. The origin of the dorsal fin is clearly in front of the rear margin of the orbit and it is continuous with, between 14 and 16 spines while the pelvic fins have a single spine and five soft rays. They are usually brownish on the upper body and whitish below, with a large number of dark spots on the head, body and fins, although the pelvic fin has no spots. The maximum standard length reached by theis species is 9.2 cm (3.6 in).

## Distribution and habitat

The marbled stingfish is found in the western Pacific Ocean from China south to Australia where it extends south to Bowen in Queensland, however, it has only been recorded from Jolo in the Philippines. This species is found over soft bottoms at depths between 1 and 24 m (3 ft 3 in and 78 ft 9 in).

## Bycatch

The marbled stingfish is taken as bycatch in some shrimp trawl fisheries and fishermen have to take great care in removing them from nets because of the highly venomous spines.

# Multimagic cube

In mathematics, a P-multimagic cube is a magic cube that remains magic even if all its numbers are replaced by their k th powers for 1 ≤ k ≤ P. 2-multimagic cubes are called bimagic, 3-multimagic cubes are called trimagic, and 4-multimagic cubes tetramagic. A P-multimagic cube is said to be semi-perfect if the k th power cubes are perfect for 1 ≤ k < P, and the P th power cube is semiperfect. If all P of the power cubes are perfect, the P-multimagic cube is said to be perfect.
The first known example of a bimagic cube was given by John Hendricks in 2000; it is a semiperfect cube of order 25 and magic constant 195325. In 2003, C. Bower discovered two semi-perfect bimagic cubes of order 16, and a perfect bimagic cube of order 32.
MathWorld reports that only two trimagic cubes are known, discovered by C. Bower in 2003; a semiperfect cube of order 64 and a perfect cube of order 256. It also reports that he discovered the only two known tetramagic cubes, a semiperfect cube of order 1024, and perfect cube of order 8192.

# The Hazaras

The Hazāras is a 1989 book on the history of the Hazara people by Hassan Poladi.

## Reception

In the Asia Society's newsletter Afghanistan Forum, Washington University in St. Louis scholar Robert L. Canfield wrote, "after extensive summaries of such diverse works he usually comes to defensible conclusions of his own, and, despite his evident apologetic purpose, he presents a reasonable and plausible image of the Hazara experience. Indeed, weaknesses aside, this book is a rich mine of information on the Hazaras, for Poladi's inclusion of everything that is known about them makes it an incomparable source on the subject".
Reinhard F. Hahn wrote in Central Asiatic Journal, "The Hazāras has more than its fair share of grammatical and orthographic errors, inconsistencies and inadequacies. ... Being an important addition to the hitherto all too meager store of publications about this interesting nation, The Hazāras definitely deserves the attention of those interested in any Central-Asia-related aspect of Afghan studies."
