# J. S. Borthwick

Jean Scott Wood Creighton (September 26, 1923 – September 24, 2018) was an American writer of mystery fiction, under the pseudonym of J. S. Borthwick.

## Biography

Creighton was born in Buffalo, New York, and studied at Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Connecticut, before matriculating as a pre-medical student at the State University of New York at Buffalo. She left school to work as a nurse at an army hospital during World War II; she married James Alexander Creighton Jr. in 1947 and had three children. After their births she completed her bachelor's degree and returned to the University at Buffalo to pursue a graduate degree in English. For years a summer resident of Maine, she moved to the state full-time in 1976, maintaining a residence in Thomaston. Her novels, featuring as detective a student and later academic of English named Sarah Deane, are mostly set in Maine. Basically cozies in nature, many featured maps and drawings created by one of her daughters to augment the narrative. The first of the books featured a mystery centered on the world of birdwatching; Creighton claimed it was inspired by her observation that birdwatchers were often so intent on their pursuit that they would likely fail, in her opinion, to notice a murder taking place in their immediate vicinity.
Creighton taught English in middle and high schools in Maine, and was an instructor at Indiana University for a time; later in life she taught at Coastal Senior College in Thomaston. Besides mystery fiction, she also wrote poetry and works for children. Creighton died in Yarmouth, Maine.

# Cryptandra wilsonii

Cryptandra wilsonii is a flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub with hairy young stems, oblong to narrowly oblong leaves and clusters of white, tube-shaped flowers arranged in small clusters.

## Description

Cryptandra wilsonii is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 15–90 cm (5.9–35.4 in), its young stems covered with both star-shaped and straight hairs, the branchlets sometimes spiny. The leaves are oblong to narrowly oblong, 1.8–3.2 mm (0.071–0.126 in) long and 0.5–0.7 mm (0.020–0.028 in) wide, on a petiole 0.3–0.5 mm (0.012–0.020 in) long with stipules 0.8–1.4 mm (0.031–0.055 in) long at the base. The upper surface of the leaves is glabrous, the lower surface is usually concealed and the tip of the leaf curves downwards. The flowers are white and arranged in spike-like or head-like clusters of 2 to 6, with about 6 or 7 broadly egg-shaped floral bracts 1.2–1.6 mm (0.047–0.063 in) long at the base. The floral tube is 1.4–1.9 mm (0.055–0.075 in) long joined at the base for about 0.5 mm (0.020 in). The sepals are 1.2–1.6 mm (0.047–0.063 in) long, the style 0.7–1.3 mm (0.028–0.051 in) long. Flowering occurs from May to August, and the fruit is a schizocarp about 3 mm (0.12 in) long and densely covered with star-shaped hairs.

## Taxonomy and naming

Cryptandra wilsonii was first formally described in 1995 by Barbara Lynette Rye in the journal Nuytsia from specimens collected near Cape Riche Beach in 1974. The specific epithet (wilsonii ) honours the Australian botanist, Paul G. Wilson.

## Distribution and habitat

This cryptandra usually grows in sandy soil, sometimes in mallee scrub, and occurs from north-east of Wialki to Cape Riche and near Gibson in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee bioregions of Western Australia.

## Conservation status

Cryptandra wilsonii is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
# LOPES (exoskeleton)

The goal of the LOPES project (LOwer-extremity Powered ExoSkeleton) is to design and implement a gait rehabilitation robot for treadmill training. The target group consists of people who have had a stroke and have impaired motor control. The main goals of LOPES are:
* Reduction of the physical load on the therapist / patient;
* More efficient gait training for stroke patients;
* Selective support of gait functions;
* Therapist stays in charge of high-level decisions.
The mechanical construction should offer assistance in leg movements in the forward direction and in keeping lateral balance. Within the LOPES project, it has been decided to realize this by connecting the limbs of the patient to an exoskeleton so that robot and patient move in parallel. Most gait rehabilitation robots that are currently being developed focus on the support of the entire gait cycle as a single unit. These robots use joint trajectories of the entire gait cycle and offer a uniform (more or less) stiff control along this trajectory. This means that the patient receives support in gait phases where support is necessary but also in phases where support isn't necessary. Studies have been done on an exoskeleton that propose adaptive control methods which minimize the interaction forces with the patient with respect to an adaptable reference pattern, but these still control the entire gait cycle. Studies have also shown that walking with the Lokomat requires significantly less energy than normal walking. LOPES aims to support and not take over those tasks that the patient is unable to perform without help using an impedance control scheme. This will lead to a more active participation from the patient's side. The tradeoff for more active walking will likely be a smaller overall distance during therapy sessions. The implication of selective function support is that the robot will have two extreme modes in which it should be able to function, these are:
* Patient in charge: The goal of the robot is to minimize the interaction forces between the patient and the robot in order for the patient to walk freely without feeling the robot. This mode will be active mostly for the non-paretic side of the patient and during those phases of the walking cycle that the robot does not need to assist.
* Robot in charge: The goal of this mode is to take control of the patient. The robot will take over the functions which the patient is unable to perform. The robot will most likely operate somewhere between these extremes offering some support at those phases when it is needed to guide the patient towards desirable behavior.
The first prototype has been completed. This prototype has 8 actuated DOF (series elastic actuation) following the design. Clinical evaluations will be done in the course of 2007.
# Bush Temple of Music

The Bush Temple of Music, at 100 West Chicago Avenue in Chicago, was built in 1901 as the headquarters and showroom of the Bush and Gerts Piano Company, one of Chicago's leading piano companies. Designed by architect J.E.O. Pridmore, the building is an example of the importance of piano manufacturing and sales during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when Chicago was the leading piano manufacturing center in the world. The building is a rare large-scale example of French Renaissance Revival-style architecture, an unusual style in Chicago and the United States. The building's design and decorative details are unique examples of the historic revival style favored by Chicagoans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The building was designated a Chicago Landmark on June 27, 2001. It is being considered for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
# Colorado's 6th Senate district

Colorado's 6th Senate district is one of 35 districts in the Colorado Senate. It has been represented by Republican Cleave Simpson since 2023. Prior to redistricting the district was represented by Republicans Don Coram and Ellen Roberts.

## Geography

District 6 is based in Southwest Colorado, covering all of Alamosa, Archuleta, Conejos, Costilla, Dolores, La Plata, Mineral, Montezuma, Montrose, Ouray, Rio Grande, Saguache, San Juan, and San Miguel Counties. Communities in the district include Montrose, Olathe, Ouray, Mountain Village, Telluride, Silverton, Dove Creek, Cortez, Mancos, Towaoc, Durango, Bayfield, and Pagosa Springs. The district is also home to the Southern Ute Indian Reservation.
The district is located entirely within Colorado's 3rd congressional district, and overlaps with the 58th and 59th districts of the Colorado House of Representatives. It borders the states of Utah, New Mexico, and – via Four Corners – Arizona.

## Recent election results

Colorado state senators are elected to staggered four-year terms. The old 6th district held elections in midterm years, but the new district drawn following the 2020 Census will hold elections in presidential years.
Incumbent Senator Don Coram was redistricted into the 5th district, which also is not up for election this year, meaning Coram had no seat to run in; he ran unsuccessfully for Colorado's 3rd congressional district instead. 35th district Senator Cleave Simpson lives in the new boundaries of the 6th district, and will represent it beginning in 2023.
