Theodora Park is a small public park in Charleston, South Carolina operated by the City of Charleston. The park was masterminded by David Rawle, public relations and marketing firm founder, who lives nearby in the historic Ansonborough neighborhood. The park, named for his mother, is one of Charleston's most unusual pocket parks.
Previously, a playground known as the Ansonborough Tot Lot occupied the location, but it was underused; there were few children in the neighborhood, and a newer playground opened not far away. The design for the new park was inspired by Paley Park in New York City on 53rd Street.
The centerpiece of the park is a 32-foot-long fountain pool with handmade ceramic tiles by the noted artist Paul Heroux. The park also features a gate made by Charleston blacksmith Philip Simmons. The gate is presented as a stand-alone piece of art.
Sheila Wertimer was the landscape architect for the project and the Charleston Parks Conservancy helps maintain the park.
The New York Times called Theodora Park "a beautifully tranquil public garden", and The Post and Courier described it as "a new gem . . . a model for the future".
The park was officially opened to the public on Saturday, June 6, 2015.

# Symphony No. 35

Symphony No. 35 may refer to:
* Symphony No. 35 (Haydn)
* Symphony No. 35 (Michael Haydn)
* Symphony No. 35 (Mozart)
# Symphony No. 36 (Michael Haydn)

Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 36 in B-flat major, Perger 28, Sherman 36, MH 475, written in Salzburg in 1788, is the last B-flat major symphony he wrote, the third of his final set of six symphonies.
Scored for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. It is perhaps the first symphony in B-flat major to use trumpets and drums, something which is thought to have been pioneered by Joseph Haydn (see Symphony No. 98). This symphony is in three movements:
* Allegro con fuoco
* Andante con espressione, in F major
* Rondo. Presto molto
The first movement, in sonata form, has for its first theme one of Haydn's most triadic themes, with the first violins not playing a note outside of the tonic chord until bar 13.
The second theme (starting at bar 40) is by contrast extremely scalar, moving primarily in seconds. The development uses a new theme to lead back to the recapitulation.
Unlike Haydn's other slow movements in symphonies with trumpets and timpani, the timpani are not silent in this one (see Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 88). Bassoons and oboes take turns doubling the first violins on the melody.
The melody is for the most part entrusted to the first violins, but the first bassoon often doubles it an octave below (while the second bassoon sticks to the usual duty of doubling the cello line in unison).
The third movement, a rondo, features dramatic contrasts of piano and forte in its main theme.

## Discography

Like the other symphonies of the 1788 set of six, this one is in the CPO disc with Johannes Goritzki conducting the New German Chamber Academy.
# Syllepte aureotinctalis

The postmedian line is indicated by four faint dots. The hindwings are similar, with a row of dark marginal dots and golden fringes. The wingspan of this moth is about 34 mm.
# Sylvia Lynd

Sylvia Lynd (née Dryhurst; 1888 – 21 February 1952) was an Anglo-Irish poet, essayist, short story writer and novelist. She was born in London but both of her parents, A.R. Dryhurst and her mother, the suffragist writer Nora Dryhurst (née Robinson) were Dubliners. Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. From 1904 to 1906, Lynd studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, later moving on to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. Around this time, she was associated with the Inghinidhe na hÉireann, an Irish nationalist women’s organisation. In 1908, a monthly magazine was produced, Bean na hÉireann, which sought to discuss topics such as politics, the vote for women, language, and labour issues. Lynd edited the first issue before returning to England and Helena Molony took it over.
In 1909, she married a journalist and man of letters, Robert Wilson Lynd, whom she had met at the London Gaelic League four years earlier. Born in Belfast to a Presbyterian minister, Robert Lynd wrote for The Northern Whig and later became a literary editor for the Daily News (later known as News Chronicle) and a columnist for New Statesman.

# Synapturichthys

Synapturichthys kleinii, Klein's sole or lace sole, is a species of economically important sole. It is the only known member of its genus.

## Description

This species grows to a length of 40 centimetres (16 in) TL, though most only reach around 15 centimetres (5.9 in) TL. The head is covered with filaments on the blind side (the side without the eyes), giving this fish a bearded appearance when viewed from the front. The eyes are green in colour. The body is pale brown. It is covered in large round blotches that are joined by smaller blotches. These form circles with white centers. This pattern extends onto the dorsal and anal fins. The caudal and pectoral fins are small.

## Distribution and habitat

This fish is found in the Mediterranean Sea and along the Atlantic coast of Africa, just barely entering the Indian Ocean in South Africa. It is found on sandy and rubble sea beds, particularly close to ship wrecks and reefs.

## Ecology

This fish feeds on small benthic invertebrates.
# Synapturanus zombie

Synapturanus zombie is a South American species of frog in the family Microhylidae.

## Taxonomy

Synapturanus zombie was discovered by Raffael Ernst, a German herpetologist. He named the frog "zombie" because he thought other researchers looked like zombies after digging the frogs out of the ground. It was described in 2021 by Antoine Fouquet.
S. zombie is part of an eastern clade of Synapturanus, which also includes S. salseri, S. mirandaribeiroi, S. ajuricaba, and S. mesomorphus, as well as some undescribed but suspected species. This eastern clade typically has a more robust humerus and a broader snout than species in the western clade.

## Description

Synapturanus zombie has an average snout-vent length of 39 mm in males (range 37–41 mm (1.5–1.6 in)). Females are slightly larger, with a 40 mm average SVL (range 39–42 mm (1.5–1.7 in)). This makes it the largest known species of Synapturanus frogs. It has a pointed nose and a narrow mouth.
The frog is medium brown on the top, and light brown on the bottom. Many orange spots are found on the skin of the frog. The glandular supracarpal pad, present in males only, is a translucent white. Yellow ovaries are able to be seen through the translucent skin of female specimens. Males emit advertisement calls from underground tunnels during and after heavy rainfall. These tunnels, also called galleries, are spaced a few meters apart from each other. The mode of reproduction of the species are unknown, but likely similar to those of other Synapturanus frogs.

## Habitat

Synapturanus zombie live in well-drained soil in forests in French Guiana. They are nocturnal, as well as fossorial.

## Conservation

S. zombie has not been assessed by the IUCN. It is only known to live in six groups of populations in French Guiana, and one additional group in Amapá, northern Brazil. Some of these groups are in protected areas. The study in which the species was first described recommended the species be given the rating of "data deficient", because of "the uncertainties regarding its distribution and population status".
# Oreocnemis phoenix

Oreocnemis phoenix, the Mulanje red damsel, is a species of damselfly in the family Platycnemididae. It is endemic to the slopes of Mount Mulanje in Malawi, occurring near montane streams at altitudes of 1,800-2,200 m.
A survey carried out between November 2001 to January 2002 showed that the species was still abundant on the plateau of Mount Mulanje but that it is not present in other highlands in Malawi and adjacent Mozambique. Its habitat is threatened by drainage and habitat destruction due to agriculture, encroachment and over-exploitation of forest, and mining. The IUCN currently classifies it as Endangered.
The Mulanje red damsel is listed as one of the world's 100 most threatened species.
# Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major

Symphony No. 4 in E-flat Major may refer to:
* Carl Friedrich Abel's Symphony op. 1 no. 4/WK (Walter Knape) 4
* Arnold Bax's Symphony No. 4 in E-flat (1931, Parlett no. 307)
* Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 4 "Romantic" (1874) (WAB 104)
* Antonio Casimir Cartellieri's Symphony No. 4
* Alexander Glazunov's Symphony No. 4, op. 48 (1893)
# Symphony No. 4 (Zwilich)

Symphony No. 4, The Gardens, is a choral symphony for chorus, children's choir, and orchestra by the American composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich. The work was composed in 1999 on a commission from the Michigan State University in honor of John D. Withrow and Dortha J. Withrow, to whom the work is dedicated. It was first performed by the Michigan State University Orchestra, Choral Ensembles, and Children's Chorus conducted by Leon Gregorian on February 5, 2000.

## Composition
### Background

The Fourth Symphony was inspired by various gardens on the Michigan State University campus in East Lansing, Michigan.
The first movement "Introduction: Litany of Endangered Plants" is scored for orchestra and chorus. Its text consists of the Latin names for various threatened and endangered plants exhibited in the W. J. Beal Botanical Garden. In the score program note, Zwilich noted, "This garden provides a living example of our human urge to plant and nurture as well as our capacity to uproot and destroy, and I found myself thinking about it long after the day of my visit to the gardens on the campus of Michigan State."
The second movement "Meditation on Living Fossils" is scored for orchestra only. It was inspired by the "Living Fossils" exhibit at the Beal garden, which the composer found "particularly moving and exciting."
The third movement "A Pastoral Journey" is scored for chorus, orchestra, and the children's choir playing handbells. Its text was adapted from the Bible by the composer. Rather than reference a specific garden, this movement "simply offers a musical celebration of them."
The final movement "The Children's Promise" is scored for full forces and was inspired by the Michigan 4-H Children's Garden, which the composer described as "a place of powerful beauty and delightful education." She added, "I was moved by the care given to helping children understand their need to cherish and preserve the natural world they inherit." The text for this movement was written by Erik LaMont, which interprets a Native American lyric for the children's chorus and uses the Latin names of plants from the 4-H Garden for the adult chorus.

### Structure

The symphony has a duration of approximately 28 minutes in performance and is cast in four movements:
* Introduction: Litany of Endangered Plants
* Meditation on Living Fossils
* A Pastoral Journey
* The Children's Promise

### Instrumentation

The work is scored for SATB chorus, children's choir, and a large orchestra comprising piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, two trombones, bass trombone, tuba, timpani, three percussionists, and strings.

## Reception

ClassicsToday described the symphony as "clearly Zwilich's best symphonic work to date."
# Opsomeigenia

Opsomeigenia is a genus of parasitic flies in the family Tachinidae.

## Species

* Opsomeigenia aegrota (Wulp, 1890)
* Opsomeigenia flavipalpis (Reinhard, 1934)
* Opsomeigenia orientalis Yang, 1989
* Opsomeigenia pusilla (Coquillett, 1895)
# Symmoca albicanella

Symmoca albicanella is a moth of the family Autostichidae. It is found in Croatia and Slovenia.
# Synthase

In biochemistry, a synthase is an enzyme that catalyses a synthesis process.
Note that, originally, biochemical nomenclature distinguished synthetases and synthases. Under the original definition, synthases do not use energy from nucleoside triphosphates (such as ATP, GTP, CTP, TTP, and UTP), whereas synthetases do use nucleoside triphosphates. However, the Joint Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature (JCBN) dictates that 'synthase' can be used with any enzyme that catalyzes synthesis (whether or not it uses nucleoside triphosphates), whereas 'synthetase' is to be used synonymously with 'ligase'.

## Examples

* ATP synthase
* Citrate synthase
* Tryptophan synthase
* Pseudouridine synthase
* Fatty acid synthase
* Cellulose synthase (UDP-forming)
* Cellulose synthase (GDP-forming)
# Synth Look and Feel

synth is a skinnable Java look and feel, which is configured with an XML property file.
According to Sun, goals for synth were:
* Enable to create custom look without writing any code.
* Allow appearance to be configured from images.
* Provide the ability to customize the look of a component based on its named properties.
* Provide a centralized point for overriding the look of all components.
* Enable custom rendering based on images, or user-defined SynthPainters.

## History

synth is available beginning with version J2SE 5.0 of Java (see Java version history).
Java SE 6 Update 10 release and newer contain Nimbus, a cross-platform Look and Feel implemented with Synth. However, for backwards compatibility, Metal is still the default Swing look and feel.

## Architecture

Synth is a skinnable look and feel in which all painting is delegated to the components, without having to write any code (see Synth Look and Feel).
However synth does not provide a default look, and components that are not defined in the synth XML file will not be painted. It is however possible to assign a default style to all other widgets, and customize styles for some specific widgets only.

## Example

The following XML declaration defines a style named textfield and binds it to all text fields. The defaultStyle allows to set a default font, foreground and background colors to all other widgets.
Supposing that the XML declaration is defined in a file named synthExample.xml, the following code loads the XML definition file and sets the current look and feel to synth (loading a synth Look and Feel is done using the load method of the SynthLookAndFeel class):
