# The Flowers of Vashnoi

"The Flowers of Vashnoi" is a 2018 science fiction novella by Lois McMaster Bujold, part of her Vorkosigan Saga. It was first published by Subterranean Press.

## Synopsis

When Ekaterin Vorkosigan and Enrique Borgos test Enrique's genetically engineered insects (modified "butter bugs" from A Civil Campaign) for the bioremediation of the radioactive wasteland surrounding the former site of the city of Vorkosigan Vashnoi, they discover that the area is not deserted as they had thought.

## Reception

Publishers Weekly praised the novella as "enjoyable" and "savory", noting that Ekaterin is "as formidable, whip-smart, and compassionate as her husband". AudioFile, reviewing the audio version, considered that "(t)he plot is not terribly complicated", but emphasized that "like most of the [Vorkosigan] series, [it] is character driven", and lauded Bujold's "sardonic humor". Tulsa Book Review described it as "heartwarming" and a "gentle elaboration of the complexities of Barrayaran history and culture", while warning that a true appreciation of the text requires a familiarity with Bujold's oeuvre. Tor.com commended Bujold's increased focus on Enrique and her reuse of Ekaterin as a viewpoint character, observing that the story is "all about redemption".

# Meir ben Baruch Halevi

Rabbi Meir ben Baruch HaLevi of Vienna (died 1406), also known as Maharam Sal or Maharam Fulda, was an Ashkenazi rabbi, one of the most important in central Europe in the period following the Tosafists. He was involved in the debate over the ordaining of French rabbis in his time, and some have attribute to him the founding of modern Ashkenazi semicha.

## Biography

Little is known about his life. He was born in Fulda, and therefore is sometimes called "Maharam Fulda". His father was apparently killed during the Persecution of Jews during the Black Death. He served as rabbi of Erfurt and then of Frankfurt. In 1383 he moved to Nuremberg, but two years later returned to Frankfurt. In the following years he was imprisoned for some time due to a false allegation. In 1392 he was freed and moved to Vienna, where he served as rosh yeshiva. It was said that he brought to Vienna "all the sources of the religion and customs" of the Rhineland, and this move symbolized the transfer of the center of Ashkenazi Torah culture from Ashkenaz to Austria for generations to come. The last known official record mentioning him dates to 1406, and as later his wife is mentioned as a widow, he apparently died then.
Isaac ben Sheshet (Rivash), despite his dispute with Meir over ordination, respected Meir and described him as "the great eagle, great of wings, full of Torah, who has wisdom".
Few of Meir's halachic positions survive in writing. However, his stature among Ashkenazi rabbis is shown by his appearance in many Memorbuch lists alongside figures such as Rabbeinu Gershom, Rashi, Rabbeinu Tam, and Meir of Rothenburg.

## The French ordination dispute

He played an important role in the ordination dispute in France in his lifetime. Rabbi Mattitiah Treves had been known as "head of the French rabbis", and upon his death bequeathed this title to his son Yohanan Treves. However, a different student of Mattitiah's, Yeshayah ben Abba Mari who served as rabbi in Savoy contested this. Yeshayah turned to Meir ben Baruch Halevi, who gave him a semicha document, establishing that Yeshayah had the sole right to appoint rabbis in the entire kingdom of France. Yohanan, though, turned to Isaac ben Sheshet, who argued that Meir's authority to make such decrees was limited to Ashkenaz. The resulting debate drew in rabbis across Europe.
Based on this episode, many modern scholars have concluded that Meir founded the institution of Ashkenazi semicha ("moreinu" semicha), i.e. explicit granting of the title "Moreinu" by a rabbi to his student, as a precondition to the student's serving in a rabbinic role. This title is first recorded in the French ordination dispute, suggesting that it was founded by Meir, and this was the accepted scholarly opinion in the past. More recently, other scholars have rejected this argument, noting that Yeshayah's opponents (Yohanan and Isaac ben Sheshet) seem to treat semicha as a preexisting institution, arguing that Meir's controversial innovation was that the requirement of ordination by Meir should apply internationally and not only within the circles of Meir's students.
# Megamelus scutellaris

Megamelus scutellaris, the water hyacinth planthopper, is a true bug native to South America. It is used as a biological control agent to manage and reduce the spread of the water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes, formerly Eichhornia crassipes), an invasive aquatic plant native to South America that has invaded many freshwater systems globally.

## Description

Megamelus scutellaris has a widespread distribution in South America. Populations have been recorded in Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Uruguay, and it is likely that the insect mirrors much of the distribution of its host plant, water hyacinth. It is primarily pale yellow to light brown in color with darker markings on the head and thorax. It measures approximately 3-4 mm in length, with a distinct, helmet-like scutellum covering most of its abdomen.
The insect's life cycle consists of egg, nymph, and adult stages. They are wing dimorphic, whereby the adults can be either wingless (brachypterous) or winged (macropterous).

## Biological control of water hyacinth

Megamelus scutellaris is host-specific to water hyacinth, and has been introduced as a herbivore agent for the biological control of the noxious weed, causing damage to the plants and inhibiting their growth and reproduction. It was first introduced to Florida in 2010, where it subsequently established. It has been observed to thrive in cooler regions of the native water hyacinth range, which led to its introduction in 2013 to more temperate regions in South Africa as an effective biological control agent.
Both adult and nymph M. scutellaris feed on the water hyacinth plants. Adult females lay their eggs on the leaves and petioles of water hyacinth plants, and upon hatching, the nymphs feed on the plant tissues, progressing through five instar stages before reaching adulthood. This feeding results in biotic stress and increases the plant's susceptibility to disease. Under extensive feeding pressure, the plants may eventually succumb, causing them to sink and consequently leading to a decline in the water hyacinth population.
# The Giant Pin

The Giant Pin is the second album by The Nels Cline Singers led by American guitarist Nels Cline which was released in August 2003 on the Cryptogramophone label.

## Reception

| Source | Rating |
| Allmusic | |
| All About Jazz | |
| Pitchfork Media | 7.0/10 |
| The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings | |
The Allmusic review by William Tilland awarded the album 4 stars out of 5, stating "it offers the most dramatic example of Cline's general ability to synthesize beauty, emotion, intellect, technique, and even humor in his playing". Writing for All About Jazz, Alex K. Fong stated "The compositions on The Giant Pin simultaneously evoke traditional jazz, blues, post rock, and free improvisation without any of the awkward deliberateness found on the trio's debut release Instrumentals. That's a testament to the development of Cline's writing and the group's chemistry". Pitchfork Media's Sam Ubl stated "Cline has fused his jazz and rock interests before but The Giant Pin takes both poles to heretofore untouched extremes-- especially at the low-volume end of the spectrum. Stark stylistic and dynamic contrasts pervade the album, yet the transitions are smooth. The record is quieter and more restrained than other The Singers releases, making it a rewarding if slightly less exhilarating final product. Whether Cline will continue to cleave himself from the gigging life remains to be seen, but for now he's handling the balancing act quite nicely". JazzTimes' David R. Adler noted "Cline's music is resolutely left of the dial, a challenge. But its dynamics, rhythmic intensity and frequently searing melodicism are a joy. It's easy to imagine listeners of many stripes cottoning to his sound. (Might he lure Wilco fans toward far-out jazz?)".

# The Grave (novel)

The Grave is a time travel novel by Canadian author James Heneghan, set in 1970s Liverpool and in Ireland and Liverpool in the mid-nineteenth century. The novel was published in 2000.

## Plot summary

The protagonist of the novel is a 13-year-old orphan named Tom Mullen. He lives in the Old Swan area of Liverpool with his hostile foster parents and his "brother", Brian.
One night, Tom and Brian creep out to investigate a mysterious excavation near their school and discover that the workmen have uncovered an old graveyard. As Tom is examining the burial ground, he falls into the dark endless pit.
Tom wakes up in the countryside near the sea. He sees a group of people gathered around the body of a drowned boy who looks exactly like Tom. Everyone thinks the boy is dead, but Tom does CPR and saves him. The boy's name is Tully Monaghan, and Tom is invited to live with his family. As Tom walks into their cottage, he notices a newspaper saying that the date is September 1847. He is not only somehow in Ireland, he has traveled back in time to the height of the Great Famine.
When the villagers come under attack from the owners of the land, Tom gets hit on the head and is catapulted back to his own time, 1974. He is devastated that he is no longer with the friendly Monaghans. During football practice Tom realizes he can simply jump back into the pit to return to the past. When he does this, however, he discovers that the Monaghans' cottage has been all but destroyed, Tully's father is dead, and the family has decided to move to Liverpool. Tom goes with them, but later again accidentally returns to the modern day.
The next night Tom once again jumps down into the grave. He returns to old Liverpool on March 13, 1848 – four months since he last saw the Monaghans. Tully's mother is now very ill with fever and his brother Brendan catches it too; both die in hospital.
Tom tells Tully and his sister Hannah, the only remaining members of the family, about his coming from the future. They figure out that Tully is Tom's great-grandfather and that the reason why Tom came to the past was that if Tully had died on the beach, Tom would never have been born. Tom decides to return to his own time, only to be literally kicked out of the house by his foster parents. That night Tom goes to the grave, takes Ma's and Brendan's coffins and buries them in a church graveyard.
A few months later, Tom's football coach asks him why he changed his last name to Monaghan. It turns out that the coach is Tom's long-lost father.

# Eigenmannia bumba

# Stadionul Romcomit

Romcomit Stadium was a football stadium in Bucharest, standing on the site now occupied by the University of Bucharest's Law Department.

## History

The stadium was inaugurated in 1923, being considered at the time a very modern one. It was the stadium of the team with the same name, founded by Ettore Brunelli, that in 1924 merged with Triumf and the result was Juventus București, the new tenant of the stadium.
This was the pitch were the first floodlit matches were played in Romania. On 13 and 14 September 1933, Újpest Budapest played friendly matches against CFR București and Venus București. The floodlit installation, as Ioan Chirilă described it in one of his books, was rudimentary and was formed by bulbs pinned by several rows of ropes hanged over the pitch. So at high throws, the ball "got caught" into the dark or it damaged some of the bulbs and the game had to be stopped so that a worker could replace the damaged bulbs.
The Romania national football team played two games on this stadium in 1925 against Turkey (1-2) and Bulgaria (6-1).
At the beginning of 1934, upon orders from King Carol II, the stadium was demolished to provide a site for the University of Bucharest.

# Weehawken Cove

Weehawken Cove is a cove on the west bank of the Hudson River between the New Jersey municipalities of Hoboken to the south and Weehawken to the north. At the perimeter of the cove are completed sections the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway, offering views of Manhattan and the Palisades. The name Weehawken comes from the Lenape, and can translate as "at the end of", either the Hudson Palisades or the stream which flowed from them into the cove, later the site of the nearby Lincoln Tunnel.

## Half Moon

The first European to record visiting the cove was Robert Juet, first mate of the Half Moon captained by Henry Hudson, who anchored his ship in the cove on October 2, 1609.
He wrote: "We got down two leagues beyond that place and anchored in a bay clear from all danger of them on the other side of the river, where we saw a good piece of ground, and hard by it there was a cliff that looked of the colour of white-green, as though it was either a copper or silver mine, and I think it to be one of them by the trees that grow upon it, for they are all burned, and the other places are green as grass." The cliff described is now known as Castle Point.

## Lipton Tea and Lincoln Harbor

A prominent landmark on the south side of the cove is the Hudson Tea Buildings, a converted residential complex in former plant and warehouse of Lipton Tea. Additional apartment complexes have been built along the cove in the last decade. The cove is two blocks north of 14th Street. On the north of the Cove is Lincoln Harbor, a residential, commercial, and recreational area on the site of the former Erie Railroad Weehawken Yard, which had partially filled the cove to be built.
Proposals to build residential buildings along the southern perimeter of the cove have been met with local opposition, including city officials in Hoboken, who contend the waterfront area is better used for public open space.
A proposal to build two 18-story buildings at the northwest corner of the cove were rejected by Weehawken.

## Hudson River Waterfront Walkway

In September 2010 county officials announced construction of an 800 foot section of the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway (HRWW) along the western perimeter of the cove, adjacent to the proposed Hoboken Cove Park. The walkway, which connects Weehawken and Hoboken, was completed in April 2012.
