# Mcqueenoceras

Mcqueenoceras is an extinct genus of early endocerid, a nautiloid from the Floian epoch of the late early Ordovician period. It was similar in overall form to Clitendoceras, from which it may have been derived. Mcqueenoceras, like Clitendoceras, has ventral siphuncle but the endocones are thicker on the ventral side and thinner on the dorsal. Also the sutures in Mcqueenoceras retreat rearward, forming lobes as they cross the venter. The type species is Mcqueenoceras jeffersonense, named by E.O. Ulrich and A.F. Foerste in 1935, and it is known from Missouri and New York. In 1956, Rousseau H. Flower named two other species, M. cariniferum and M. ventrale, both known from Maryland.
# Spatalla longifolia

Spatalla longifolia, the pink-stalked spoon, is a flower-bearing shrub that belongs to the genus Spatalla. It forms a part of the fynbos. The plant is native to the Western Cape of South Africa where it is found in the Hottentots-Holland Mountains; from Franschhoek and Villiersdorp to the Kleinmond Mountains.
The shrub grows erect and 1 m tall and flowers from August to November. The plant dies after a fire but the seeds survive. The plant is bisexual and is pollinated by insects. Two months after the plant has flowered, the ripe seeds fall to the ground where they are spread by ants. The plant grows on rocky slopes in sandstone soil at elevations of 300 - 915 m.
# Spatalla curvifolia

Spatalla curvifolia, the white-stalked spoon, is a flower-bearing shrub that forms part of the fynbos. The plant is native to the Western Cape of South Africa.

## Description

The shrub is flat, rounded, grows only 80 cm (31 in) tall and flowers all year round. The plant dies after a fire but the seeds survive. The plant is bisexual and pollinated by insects. Two months after the plant has flowered, the ripe seeds fall to the ground where they are spread by ants.

## Distribution and habitat

The plant occurs from Kogelberg to Bredasdorp. It grows in sandy soil at elevations of 0–350 m (0–1,148 ft).
# Spontaneous conception (psychology)

In psychology, spontaneous conception refers to conceptions about the world that we form without any formal education. Often these are connected with physics. They may be wrong concepts, like "heavier objects fall faster" or "bigger objects are heavier". Piaget thinks they are made by introspection. Vygotsky believes they may help the learning of scientific concepts more than having no conception about one event.
# Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede

The Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede is an annual event held in Medicine Hat, Alberta. It is one of the largest and oldest rodeo and exhibition events in Canada. The Stampede has a rich history dating back to the early 20th century and has become an integral part of the Medicine Hat's cultural identity.

It typically takes place in late July, providing a week of festivities, entertainment, and celebration for the residents of Medicine Hat and surrounding communities. The Medicine Hat Exhibition and Stampede grew from the town's original agricultural fair, which first took place in 1887; however, it was not until 1947 that the first official event was held under the name "The Medicine Hat Exhibition and Stampede." The 1947 exhibition was organized by President Mack Higden and vice president Dirk Scholten. Scholten ascended to general manager and continued to organize the event from the mid 1940s until the mid 1970s. Following Scholten's retirement, Ralph Murray became general manager. As of 2023, the Medicine Hat Exhibition and Stampede president is Dave Ziegenhagel.

## History

Archeological finds in Medelsheim span the period from the early Bronze Age through the Gallo-Roman period. The earliest written mention of the village of "Medilinesheim" is found in a June 28, 888 charter of the East Frankish King Arnulf.
During World War II Medelsheim was briefly occupied at the beginning of the war by French troops during the September 1939 Saar Offensive. It was reoccupied by German troops the next month.

The Way of the Cross leads up to the Husarenberg. The individual stations are worked into simple white pillars with gable roofs as folk-art half-reliefs.
Traditionally, the Jakobsmarkt, which has existed for centuries, takes place on the second Sunday in July, where historical handicrafts are presented in addition to the hustle and bustle of the fair.

Awarding the album three and a half stars for CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis states, "[Spoken] continue[s] its fiery, hard-rock groundwork, while exploding with additional diversity and heavy-handed experimentation." Russ Breimeier, giving the album four stars at Christianity Today, writes, "The versatility in sound and style ultimately makes this album the best yet from Spoken—even if the first song isn't their strongest." Rating the album an eight out of ten from Cross Rhythms, Jeremy Williams describes, "a heavy album that knows when to pause for breath." Lindsay Wiseman, indicating in a four star review by Jesus Freak Hideout, says, "this album delivers in all aspects." Signaling in a review at The Phantom Tollbooth, Ryan Ro criticizes, "Spoken is yet another unnecessary addition to the Tooth & Nail catalogue, a faceless band in a sea of faceless bands, a clone of a clone of a clone. Pass on this one."

# Spijkstaal

Spijkstaal is a Dutch car company from Spijkenisse, Netherlands. It specializes in electric cars, especially trucks for industrial usage. Its electric carts operate in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, flower auctions including the Royal FloraHolland, and military airfields. Among the general public, Spijkstaal is mostly known for being the manufacturer of mobile grocery stores.

## History

In 1934 Gerrit Neuteboom, a smith from Spijkenisse, won first prize in an agricultural exhibition in Kruiningen in Zeeland with a steel-framed farm wagon with pneumatic tires, which could therefore bear heavier loads and took less horse power to pull. In 1938 he founded the company Spijkstaal, producing wagons for the agricultural sector. In the fifties the company diversified to produce trailers, windows and other construction elements, as well as movable bandstands in association with former-wainwright-turned-coachbuilder Henk Koornneef.
In 1995, Spijkstaal converted a conventional Volkswagen Caravelle into a fully-electric van that could hold eight passengers, part of a project testing the viability of fully electric consumer vehicles in the Netherlands. Spijkstaal provided the chassis for the ParkShuttle autonomous shuttle service in Capelle aan den IJssel and Rotterdam. Spijkstaal Elektro declared bankruptcy in 2015 and was acquired in September 2015 by Peinemann Holding, continuing operations as Spijkstaal International.

# Spijkers v Gebroeders Benedik Abattoir CV

Spijkers v Gebroeders Benedik Abattoir CV (1986) C-24/85 is a Dutch and EU labour law case concerning transfers of undertakings, and the job security rights of employees.

## Facts

Mr Spijkers worked for a slaughterhouse owned by Colaris in Ubach over Worms. They transferred the business to Benedik in December, and only he and another were not retained. Operations ceased in December 1982, and Colaris was insolvent by March 1983. Good will and customers had already disappeared.
Attorney General Slynn gave an opinion before the court decision. He said the ‘essential question is whether the transferee is put in a position, as a result of a legal transfer, whereby he can carry on the undertaking or business or part thereof.’

## Judgment

The European Court of Justice held that the "decisive question… is whether the entity in question retains its identity". This means a whole range of factors, including customers, goodwill, buildings, tangible assets and employees should be considered. Sale of assets (means of production, as argued by Mr Spijkers) is not necessarily enough by itself. One should ask, is the business "disposed of as a going concern?"

# Megachile exsecta

Megachile exsecta is a species of bee in the family Megachilidae. It was described by Pasteels in 1965.
# Sposalizio

    The painting which inspired this piece of music is also sometimes called the Sposalizio; for it, see Sposalizio (painting).
Sposalizio is the title of the first piece in Franz Liszt's Deuxième Année de Pèlerinage: Italie (Second Year of Pilgrimage: Italy), published in 1858. The composition starts out with a simple pentatonic melody, described as a "bell-like motif", which transforms itself into a complex musical architecture. The melody then transforms itself into a type of wedding march, which continually embellishes itself to lead up to the grand climax, which contains crashing octaves into a loud finish. The composition ends quietly.
Liszt composed "Sposalizio", which translates as "Marriage", from Italian, after being inspired by Raphael's painting The Marriage of the Virgin. Most of the works contained in the Italy series of Années de Pèlerinage have titles derived from works of art with a connection to Italy.
Although the fast octaves can be somewhat challenging, the piece departs from the virtuosic fireworks that were trademarks of some of his earlier works.

# King Square, Barry

King Square is a town square in central Barry, Wales located at a central shopping point of Holton Road.
The square was originally known as Council Square after the Town Hall was opened in 1908. In June 1910 it was proposed it was renamed King Edward Square after Edward VII, but as the proclamation ceremony of George V's ascent to the throne had been held there the previous month, it was renamed simply, as King Square.
The square underwent much renovation in the early 2000s. Today, it houses the Barry Council Office and Library, Art Central Gallery and several bus stops.
The square hosts a Christmas tree every year, though it is sometime the victim of practical jokes. In December 2014 it was the location of what was described as the "best Christmas lights switch-on" in Wales, when a 10-minute animated show was projected onto the facade of the Town Hall.
