# Emil Skodon

Emil Skodon, (born November 25, 1953, in Chicago, Illinois) former United States diplomat and a career foreign service officer. He was the U.S. ambassador to Brunei until August 1, 2008. He was sworn in as ambassador on September 7, 2005, and presented his credentials to the Sultan of Brunei on November 1. A career diplomat and Minister Counselor in the Senior United States Foreign Service, Skodon had previously been Deputy Chief of Mission at the American Embassy in Rome, Italy, since August 2002. He retired from the Foreign Service following his service in Brunei and is currently an independent consultant living in Washington, DC.
Skodon is one of the few U.S. officials to have personally experienced both the Iraqi attack on Kuwait in 1990 and the Al-Qaeda terrorist attack on Washington in 2001. Prior to his Rome assignment, Skodon was detailed to the U.S. Air Force as Foreign Policy Advisor to the USAF Chief of Staff. He was in the Pentagon during the September 11, 2001 attacks, and afterwards helped coordinate the diplomatic and military response. Skodon was Counselor for Economic Affairs at the American Embassy in Kuwait from 1989 to 1991, and was in Kuwait when Iraq invaded in August 1990. After Iraqi authorities reneged on their promise of safe passage for an evacuation convoy led by Skodon and prevented U.S. diplomats from leaving Iraq, he served as Acting Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. In his book "The Politics of Truth," Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who was the U.S. Chargé d'Affaires in Baghdad at the time, described Skodon as "the one indispensable person in our operation, the perfect Mr. Inside to my Mr. Outside." Skodon departed Iraq in December 1990 after U.S. hostages were released.
Skodon also served as Director of the State Department Office of Australian, New Zealand, and Pacific Island Affairs from 1998 to 2000, Deputy Chief of Mission at the American Embassy in Singapore from 1995 to 1998, and United States Consul General in Perth, Australia from 1991 to 1995. He was also assigned to the economic sections of U.S. embassies in Vienna (1984–88) and East Berlin (1979–81). He served in the State Department Office of Southern African Affairs (1982–84) and at the U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown, Barbados (1977–78). He has received several State Department Superior Honor and Meritorious Honor awards. He was awarded the Outstanding Civilian Service Award by the U.S. Army in recognition of his work as Deputy Chief of Mission in Rome, and the Decoration for Exceptional Civilian Service by the U.S. Air Force for his contributions to Air Force operations during Operation Enduring Freedom.
He holds BA and MBA degrees from the University of Chicago, and has studied German, Arabic, and Italian at the Foreign Service Institute. He is a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Washington Institute for Foreign Affairs, the Asia Society, and the Chaine des Rotisseurs. He is married and has two daughters.
# Starksia sluiteri

Starksia sluiteri, the chessboard blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean along the coast of Brazil including Atol das Rocas and St. Paul's Rocks. This species is an inhabitant of reefs where it prefers areas with rubble or crevices in which to hide. It can be found at depths of from 5 to 40 m (16 to 131 ft). This species can reach a length of 2.8 cm (1.1 in) SL. The specific name honours the Dutch biologist and anatomist Carel Philip Sluiter (1854-1933), a specialist in tunicates.
# Department of Health (South Africa)

The Department of Health is the executive department of the national government that is assigned to oversee healthcare in South Africa, reporting to the Minister of Health.
The Office for Health Standards and Compliance was established in 2014.

## History

In 1910, when the Union of South Africa was established, healthcare professionals were almost unanimously in favour of centralising the administration of health under a minister of public health. At the time, healthcare was within the purview of the Ministry of the Interior, whose Minister at the time Jan Smuts was uninterested in healthcare and of the opinion that the government should not create any more departments.
The Public Health Bill of 1919 provided for a separate health portfolio but did not create a separate department; the resultant portfolio remained under the control of the Ministry of the Interior.

### National Health Services Commission, 1942-44

As part of a "developmental agenda", a commission chaired by Dr Henry Gluckman was organised to report and advise upon "the provision of an organised National Health Service, in conformity with the modern conception of Health for all sections of the people of the Union of South Africa."
After exhaustive enquiries of all sections of the population, the Commission recommended that a new Health department be created. The national government accepted this recommendation in February 1945, and in November 1945 the department became officially operational.

### Apartheid

Apartheid necessitated the fragmentation of health care into fourteen separate health departments representing the then four provinces of South Africa (Cape Province, Natal, Orange Free State and Transvaal), and the ten Bantustans.
# Ta Main

"Ta Main" (English: "Your Hand") is a 2008 song recorded by French singer-songwriter Grégoire and produced by Franck Authié under My Major Company label. It was the third single from his debut album Toi + Moi and was released in April 2009. It became a hit in Belgium, and in France where it was much aired both on radio and on television.

## Background and writing

On 2 April 2009, it was publicly revealed that "Ta Main" would be the third single from the album Toi + Moi.
Grégoire explained that the song was improvised one day on piano when the album was recording, and it seemed obvious to producer Franck Authié and himself to include the song in the track listing. As indicated at the end of the video, the song is dedicated to the two deceased brothers of the singer, named Nicolas and Ludovic. About the writing, Grégoire also said: "Ta Main" was also made to have a double meaning so that a couple can also be appropriated. (...) [People] were saying at first that I had certainly written for a girlfriend but that they took it for their grandfather who had just passed away, a friend died... (...) I had the idea that the song is fairly general and that everyone finds his story. I did not ultimately impose mine and people have themselves taken in the first sense. It's very moving. I learned that this song is much aired at funerals."
"Ta Main" deals with a particularly painful separation as it was not chosen and was provoked by the death. In the lyrics, the singer expresses the fact that we are forced to live without the loved one and accept it somehow, despite the lack which results of this situation.
A CD single promo was sent to stations radio on 20 April 2009. A music video was shot in Brussels and features actress and model Inés Sastre who appears lip-synching the song.
As sign of popularity, the song was included on the notable compilation NRJ Music Awards 2010, and the music video is also available on the third CD of the collector version.

## Reception

The single was successful in Belgium (Wallonia). It entered the Ultratip chart at number 30 on 2 May 2009, climbed every week and eventually peaked at number one in the ninth week. In France, the song was much aired on radios, peaking at number two for two consecutive weeks, and remained for 17 weeks in the top 40.
In 2010, the song was covered by Les Enfoirés for their album 2010: Les Enfoirés... la crise de nerfs!. This version was produced by Guy Delacroix and was released as single on 19 April 2010. The verses are sung by Mimie Mathy, Renan Luce, Zazie, Maurane and MC Solaar, and the refrain are performed by all the singers. The single peaked at number 37 on the Belgian (Wallonia) Singles Chart.

# Robert van den Bosch

Robert van den Bosch (31 March 1922 – 19 November 1978) was an American entomologist and proponent for the management of insect pests without the use of insecticides and especially through biological control. He was the author of the influential textbook on Biological Control first published in 1973 and a more influential popular book The Pesticide Conspiracy (1978) that aimed to inform the public of the threats of pesticides and how industrial forces influenced science and agriculture. He was among the few entomologists who took a stand against DDT and were outspoken during the public debates following the publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1962) and continued to be an activist aside from his scientific research at a time when it was unpopular for scientists to hold political opinions.

## Life

Van den Bosch, was born in Martinez, California, born of Dutch and Swiss descent. His father ran a floriculture business. After studying at the local public schools including Alhambra Union High School from where he graduated in 1939, he went to the University of California, Berkeley, receiving a BA in Physical Education in 1943. During the Second World War, he served in the US Naval Reserve as a Deck Officer in the Pacific. After the war, he went back to Berkeley and obtained a Ph.D. in entomology in 1950. He taught at the University of Hawaii and then moved to the University of California, Riverside in 1951 followed by a return to Berkeley in 1963 where he served as a professor until his death.

## Research and writing

The Pesticide Conspiracy was first published in 1978 and reviewers noted that van den Bosch was angry at the pest control industry which he accused of being dishonest, irresponsible and dangerous. He examined how the industry and its financial clout had managed to control the university scientists and maintain their grip on farmers and their practices. Van den Bosch coined the phrase Pesticide Mafia which led to a lot of reactions. He also introduced the phrase "Pesticide Treadmill" which talked about how insecticide resistance and pest resurgence was well-expected and how this led to increased used of toxic insecticides. Paul R. Ehrlich, a friend of Robert noted in preface to the posthumous 1989 edition that many of the farm leaders who had tried to oppose the grip of industry on agriculture including Cesar Chaves and Dolores Huerta had been physically attacked.
Van den Bosch's main research focus was in biological control and integrated pest management. He made numerous trips around the world in the search for natural enemies, insect parasites, and predators.
Robert van den Bosch had been a director of the Rachel Carson Trust, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences, and a Guggenheim Fellow. He was keenly involved in sports and died from a heart attack while jogging.
# Leon Van der Rest

Léon Van der Rest (1846–1932) was a Belgian lawyer, businessman and governor of the National Bank of Belgium (NBB) from 1918 until 1923.

## Career

He started his career as a lawyer at the Brussels Bar, but after a few years took charge of the family business as an ironmonger. Besides being active in the family business, he also served as commissioner for a number of other companies. In 1888 he became a member of the discount committee of the NBB, while being an administrator of the Crédit Anversois. In 1898 he was appointed as a censor of the bank and in 1905 as a director. In 1912, he became vice-governor under Théophile de Lantsheere. When Théophile de Lantsheere was removed as governor of the bank by the Germans on 22 December 1914 at the start of the occupation of Belgium during World War I, he became in charge of the NBB.
During the war Léon Van der Rest, was vice-president of the National Aid and Food Provision Committee, under Emile Francqui. After the war, he became governor of the NBB in 1918. The immediate postwar period knew a rampant inflation and loss of value of the belgian franc. In 1923, he did not seek the renewal of this term as governor and became the first honorary governor of the NBB. He was succeeded by Fernand Hautain.

# Thomas L. Hisgen

Thomas Louis Hisgen (November 26, 1858 – August 27, 1925) was an American petroleum producer and politician.
He refused to sell his firm to the Standard Oil Trust and was chosen by the Massachusetts Independence League as its candidate for Governor of Massachusetts in 1907. After a strong third place performance, Hisgen became the logical choice as presidential nominee of the national Independence Party during the 1908 United States presidential election. Although he toured the country on the campaign trail, Hisgen's poorer-than-expected showing at the polls in November 1908 spelled the end for the Independence Party (82,537 = 0.55% of the vote), many of whose members rejoined the Democrats. Hisgen subsequently remained in the public eye as a periodic commentator on events in the petroleum industry.

## Biography

He was born November 26, 1858, in Petersburg, Indiana, to William Hisgen and Margaret Catherine McNally. His father was a German immigrant who had first lived in Albany, New York, before coming west to Indiana in 1857. His mother was from Canada.
He was educated in a small country school and was forced by economic circumstances to go to work at an early age to help provide financial support for his parents and siblings. Most of his education Hisgen obtained on his own through a steady reading of books.
In 1875, when Hisgen was 16, he and his family returned from Indiana to New York, where he and two brothers worked as clerks in a clothing store. His father, who had some basic knowledge of chemistry, had long worked at creating a new and improved axle grease compound which could be patented and marketed. This invention by his father became the basis of a family industry when Thomas Hisgen — together with three of his brothers — established the Four Brothers Axle Grease Company in Albany in 1888.
He died on August 27, 1925, in Miami, Florida.

# Windows Mobility Center

Windows Mobility Center is a component of Microsoft Windows, introduced in Windows Vista, that centralizes information and settings most relevant to mobile computing.

## History

A mobility center that displayed device settings pertinent to mobile devices was first shown during the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference of 2004. It was based on the Activity Center user interface design that originated with Microsoft's abandoned Windows "Neptune" project, and was slated for inclusion in Windows Vista, then known by its codename Longhorn.

## Overview

The Windows Mobility Center user interface consists of square tiles that each contain information and settings related to a component, such as audio settings, battery life and power schemes, display brightness, and wireless network strength and status. The tiles that appear within the interface depend on the hardware of the system and device drivers.
Windows Mobility Center is located in the Windows Control Panel and also be launched by pressing the ⊞ Win+X keys in Windows Vista and 7. By default, WMC is inaccessible on desktop computers, but this limitation can be bypassed if one modifies the Windows Registry.
Windows Mobility Center is extensible; original equipment manufacturers can customize the interface with additional tiles and company branding. Though not supported by Microsoft, it is possible for individual developers to create tiles for the interface as well.

Keystone Bop Vol. 2: Friday & Saturday is a live album by jazz musicians Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson & Bobby Hutcherson recorded in November 1981 and released on the Prestige label in 1996. The Allmusic review by Rick Anderson states "if you're expecting tight, hard-driving conventional bop, you'll be disappointed. These renditions average out to over 17 minutes each, with all the discursive extravagance that treatment implies. But that's not all bad, by any means... But it's hard not to think that offering more, briefer tunes wouldn't have made these performances a bit more interesting and fun overall. Still, fans won't be disappointed".

## Track listing

    All compositions by Freddie Hubbard except as indicated
* "One of Another Kind" – 17:30
* "'Round Midnight" (Thelonious Monk) – 12:16
