# Alphonse Favre

Jean Alphonse Favre (31 March 1815 in Geneva – 11 July 1890 in Pregny) was a Swiss geologist. He was a pioneer of alpine geology and became director of the Swiss Geological Commission (Schweizerische Geologische Kommission), which was charged with creating the geological map of Switzerland.
He studied natural sciences at the Academy of Geneva (1831–37), then chemistry and mineralogy in Paris (1839). From 1844 to 1852 he taught classes in geology and paleontology at the Academy of Geneva, where he was a professor for many years.
In 1888, he was elected as a member to the American Philosophical Society.
He specialized in geological research of the Savoy and Mont Blanc, that included studies of ancient glaciers associated with those regions. His explanation of the geological structure showed that certain anomalous incidents of fossils were due to recurring interfoldings of the strata and to complex overthrust faults.

# 6th Royal Tank Regiment

The 6th Royal Tank Regiment (6 RTR) was a regiment of the Royal Tank Regiment, of the British Army, until 1959. It originally saw action as 6th Battalion Tank Corps in 1917.

## First World War

When tanks were first used in action in 1916, they were operated by the Heavy Branch of the Machine Gun Corps. This constituted six companies, A through F. With the rapid growth of the tank forces, these companies were used as the cadre of new battalions, which were quickly transferred to the newly formed Tank Corps, and then changed from letters to numbers. F Company thus became F Battalion of the Heavy Branch in November 1916, then F Battalion of the Tank Corps, then redesignated as 6th Battalion of the Tank Corps in January 1918.
During this time, the unit saw heavy action; it fought at the Battle of Messines, Passchendaele, Cambrai, Amiens (using Whippet Mk A light tanks), Bapaume, 2nd Arras and Cambrai-St Quentin.
During this time, a Victoria Cross was awarded to Captain Richard Annesley West of the North Irish Horse, at the time an acting Lieutenant-Colonel commanding 6th Battalion Tank Corps. This was one of only four VCs awarded to the Corps during the Great War.

## Inter-war period

After the Armistice, the Tank Corps was severely cut down; from twenty-six battalions in 1919 to four by the early 1920s. The 6th Battalion was one of those disbanded, with its remaining personnel being transferred to the 3rd Battalion in November 1919.
In the 1930s, the decision was taken to expand the Royal Tank Corps ("Royal" had been added to the regimental title in 1923). Two Royal Tank Corps armoured car companies in Egypt, the 3rd and 5th, were brought together and reformed as 6th Battalion, Royal Tank Corps. However, this unit was understrength - it only consisted of two companies - and was not brought up to full strength with a third company until early 1939, by which time it had been renamed the 6th Royal Tank Regiment.

## Second World War

When the war broke out in 1939, 6 RTR was based in Egypt with the Heavy Armoured Brigade (Egypt), part of the Armoured Division (Egypt). It was equipped with a mixture of Mk VIb light tanks, Mark II medium tanks, and Mk I Cruiser tanks. It provided a squadron of tanks for Malta in 1942, which made up an armoured force called Malta Tanks.

## Postwar

6 RTR saw action during the Suez crisis in 1956, where HQ, B and C Squadrons were landed to support Operation Musketeer. In 1948, the Regiment was located at Scofton aerodrome (RAF Worksop), in Nottinghamshire, training TA's from 45 Leeds Rifles. In 1959 it was amalgamated with 3rd Royal Tank Regiment
# Acrobasis juglanivorella

Acrobasis juglanivorella is a species of snout moth in the genus Acrobasis. It was described by Herbert H. Neunzig in 1986, and is known from Wisconsin, United States.
The larvae feed on Juglans nigra. They mine the buds of their host plant shortly after bud break in spring. They cause further damage by mining out new shoots.
# Gymnopilus multifolius

Gymnopilus multifolius is a species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae. It was given its current name by American mycologist Murrill in 1917.
# Metapenaeus stebbingi

Metapenaeus stebbingi, the peregrine shrimp is a species of marine crustacean from the family Penaeidae. It is native to the Indian Ocean but in the second half of the 20th century it was found to have invaded the Mediterranean Sea.

## Description

Metapenaeus stebbingi grows to a maximum length of 11 cm in males and 14 cm in females. The shell is off white or cream, marked with rust-coloured speckles. The tail fan has reddish margins, with the antennae being a similar colour. The upper margin of the rostrum has 7–10 teeth while the first and third pairs of walking legs have a basal spine. The merus of the fifth walking leg of the male has an indentation on its inner margin.

## Distribution

Metapenaeus stebbingi was formerly thought to be endemic to the Red Sea but is now known from many parts of the western Indian Ocean from the Western Cape to western India. It was first identified in the Mediterranean off Egypt in 1924 and has since spread as far north as the south coast of Anatolia and as far west as Tunisia.

## Biology

Metapenaeus stebbingi occurs in water with sandy or sandy-mud substrates down to 90 m in depth. The juveniles are found in shallow coastal waters and while the adults are normally further offshore where they bury themselves in the substrate during the day, emerging to forage at night. Studies in East Africa found that this species was at its greatest abundance in areas of sand flats and mud flats. In Turkey M. stebbingi was found to be absent from inshore water from September through the winter.

## Fisheries and aquaculture

Metapenaeus stebbingi is an important species for fisheries in its native range. Since invading the Mediterranean it has become increasingly important in fisheries, especially in the Levant Sea. In southern Turkey it is used in aquaculture, being reared in artificial ponds along the coast.

## Etymology

Metapenaeus stebbingi by the Italian carcinologist Giuseppe Nobili in 1904, the specific name honours the English Zoologist Thomas Roscoe Rede Stebbing.
# Andrew Murray, 1st Lord Balvaird

Sir Andrew Murray, 1st Lord Balvaird (1597?–1644) was a Scottish minister of Abdie in Fife, and the only minister of the Church of Scotland on whom a knighthood or peerage was conferred.

## Life

He was the second son of David Murray of Balgonie, Fifeshire, by Agnes, daughter of Moncrieff of Moncrieff. He was educated at the University of St Andrews, where he graduated M.A. in 1618. In 1622 he was presented by his grandfather, Sir David Murray, 1st Viscount Stormont, to the church of Abdie, to which he was admitted on 1 October.
On the death of his grandfather in 1631 he succeeded to the baronies of Arngask and Kippo in Fifeshire. During the visit of Charles I to Scotland for his coronation in 1633 he was, on 15 June, dubbed a knight at Seton. He was also the feudal Lord of Balvaird.
Murray was the second of those who, in February 1638, signed the covenant in Greyfriars Church, Edinburgh. Although his name was also inserted as supporting the libel against the bishops in the same year, he may not have concurred with it. At a meeting of the assembly of the kirk in the same year, he, although not a member, tried to modify the attitude of the extremists towards the king's proposals. The high commissioner, the Marquis of Hamilton, reported this to the king, and on 17 November 1641 Murray was created a peer by the title of Lord Balvaird.
As a peer, Balvaird attended a meeting of the convention of estates, but on 10 August 1643 it was decided by the assembly of the kirk that he should keep his ministry, and give up speaking in parliament. On the death of Mungo Murray, 2nd Viscount of Stormont in March 1642, Balvaird succeeded to the lands, lordship, and barony of Stormont, but not to the title. He died on 24 September 1644, aged about 47.
Twenty years later, Murray's son, Andrew, built Murrayshall House. His family, which became the Murray-Grahams, stayed in the house for 260 years.

## Family

By his wife Lady Elizabeth Carnegie, daughter of David Carnegie, 1st Earl of Southesk, he had five sons and three daughters.
The sons were:
* David Murray, 2nd Lord Balvaird, who on the death of James Murray, 2nd Earl of Annandale, in 1658, succeeded to the titles of Viscount Stormont and Lord Scone;
* Sir Andrew Murray of Pitlochrie;
* the Hon. James Murray, M.D., a physician;
* Sir John Murray of Drumcairne, who was appointed a lord of session in October 1681, and a lord of justiciary in July 1687, but at the Glorious Revolution was deprived of all his offices; and
* the Hon. William Murray, an advocate at the Scottish bar.
The daughters were:
* Catherine;
* Marjory, married to Sir Alexander Gibson of Durie, a lord of session; and
* Barbara, married to Patrick, lord Gray.
