# Cross of Sitio Torril

The Cross of Sitio Torril is probably the oldest religious relic in the town of Meycauayan, Bulacan in the Philippines. It is crafted in the late Baroque style and is dated by Philippine church history expert Regalado Trota Jose at around the late 17th century. Although it may be the oldest church relic found in Meycauayan, it is doubtful that it came from the parish founders Diego de Oropesa and Juan Plasencia.
The cross was erected by Franciscans. It was re-discovered by three members of the St. Francis parish's Committee on Church Cultural Heritage in the year 2001. The cross was in the custody of the late Fidel Amparo of Barangay Bahay Pari, whose house is near the site of what is believed to be the original site of the first parish church and/or the first town center. Upon his death, the cross has been turned over to the barrio chapel. The cross is loaned every year to the parish church of St. Francis of Assisi on its feast day of October 4.
The cross is on Bahay Pari Chapel (Sitio Toril) and loaned every 3rd week of September to Meycauayan Church sign that the feast is near called (LAKBAYAN).
# Concepción District, Concepción

# Fischerinidae

Fischerinidae is a foraminiferal family now in the miliolid superfamily Cornuspiracea that comprises genera that can be free or attached, in which the proloculus is followed by an undivided tubular or spreading second chamber. Commonly, especially in free, i.e. unattached, forms the second chamber is looped around in coils. As diagnostic for the Miliolida the test wall is of imperphorate porcelaneous calcite. The aperture, which is the avenue of egress and ingress for the protoplasm, is terminal; can be rounded or slitlike.
The Fischerinidae was removed from the Miliolacea in which three subfamilies were included beginning with the Calcivertellinae and Cyclogyrinae in the Carboniferous, followed by the Fischerininae in the Jurassic. The Cyclogyrinae and Fischerininae persist in the present. The Calcivertellinae lasted only into the Jurassic.

# Chaise 4B

The Chaise 4B is an aircraft engine designed and built in France during the 1930s, unusual in being an inverted air-cooled 14º V-4.

## Design and development

During the early 1930s Societe Anonyme Omnium Metallurgique et Industriel / Etablissements Chaise et Cie, commonly known as Moteurs Chaise, designed and produced a compact lightweight four-cylinder aircraft engine developing 130–155 hp (97–116 kW). To reduce overall dimensions and length of crankshaft Chaise designed an inverted V-4 with a very small vee angle of 14º. With staggered banks the 4B was both narrow and short.
The light alloy (R.R.50) crankcase supported the major components of the engine. Heat treated steel cylinders were bolted to the crankcase and light alloy (R.R.50) cylinder heads were screwed onto the barrels. Accessories were mounted at the rear with magnetos driven by camshafts running either side of the crankcase, which also operated the valves by pushrods and rocker arms with triple concentric return springs.

# Samuel Thompson (newspaper editor)

Samuel Thompson (August 27, 1810 – July 8, 1886) was a Canadian businessman and newspaper editor.

## Early years

Samuel Thompson was born in London, England on August 27, 1810. He completed an apprenticeship with a printer, then went to Upper Canada in 1833 with his two brothers and settled on farms there. In 1837, he went to Toronto in search of work. He joined the city guards during the Upper Canada Rebellion.

## Career

He managed a newspaper for Charles Fothergill and then became a partner with booksellers William and Henry Rowsell, managing their printing operation. In 1848, he became editor for the Toronto Patriot, owned by Edward George O'Brien. In 1849, with Ogle Robert Gowan, he took over the operation of the paper. They also published the United Empire. After the partnership ended in 1853, with partners, he bought the British Colonist from Hugh Scobie's widow, which had briefly been named The Scotsman when it first appeared on February 1, 1838. In 1858, Thompson sold this paper and set up his own called the Atlas; later that same year, he bought the Colonist back.
Thompson had also served on Toronto city council from 1849 to 1854. He won the contract for government printing and so moved to Quebec City in 1859. After being accused of bias against French Canadians, he went back to Toronto in 1860.
He served as managing director for the Beaver Mutual Fire Insurance Association from 1860 to 1876, when it was forced to close because of a new requirement for insurance companies to provide a large security deposit to the government. Left in a difficult financial situation at the age of 66, he became manager for a branch of the city library.

## Memoir

In 1884, he published Reminiscences of a Canadian pioneer : for the last fifty years, 1833-1883 : an autobiography.

## Death

He died in Toronto on July 8, 1886.

# CrisisLink

CrisisLink is a non-profit 24-hour mental health and suicide-prevention hot line based in Arlington, Virginia. Founded in 1969, CrisisLink fields more than 20,000 calls annually. The majority of calls to CrisisLink are fielded by trained volunteers. CrisisLink is part of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
CrisisLink was founded in 1969 out of a church basement. It initially fielded calls on teen drug and relationship problems. Originally called the Arlington Hotline and then the Northern Virginia Hotline, in 1999 the name was changed to CrisisLink. After the September 11 attacks, CrisisLink set up a center at Virginia Hospital Center-Arlington and fielded 6,000 calls about potential victims in 48 hours. In 2003, the hotline won the American Association of Suicidology’s National Crisis Center Excellence Award.
In August 2014, CrisisLink announced its merger with Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services, another Arlington-area mental health nonprofit.

# David Moles

David Moles is an American science fiction and fantasy writer. He won the 2008 Theodore Sturgeon Award for his novelette "Finisterra", which was also a finalist for the 2008 Hugo Award for Best Novelette. He was a finalist for the 2004 John W. Campbell Award.

## Life

Moles was born in California and raised in a number of cities, including San Diego, Athens, Tehran, and Tokyo. He attended the American School in Japan before receiving undergraduate and advanced degrees from the University of California, Santa Cruz and University of Oxford.

## Writing

Moles began writing science fiction and fantasy in 2002. He is best known for his short fiction, which has been published in a number of book anthologies and magazines including Asimov's Science Fiction, Fantasy & Science Fiction, Strange Horizons, and many more. Moles has won the Theodore Sturgeon Award and has been finalist for the Hugo Award, the World Fantasy Award, and the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer.
In 2006, after Harlan Ellison groped award-winning novelist Connie Willis' breast while on stage at the Anaheim Worldcon Hugo Awards ceremony, Moles condemned fellow SF authors who defended Ellison's actions. However, the quotes Moles used in his blog post were from a private Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America newsgroup, and members attempted to expel Moles from the organization for "breaking the SFWA code of silence." Moles credits then SFWA president Robin Wayne Bailey for reducing his expulsion to censure, "a new process that had to be invented for the occasion."
