# Larinus sturnus

Larinus sturnus is a species of cylindrical weevils belonging to the family Curculionidae, subfamily Lixinae.

## Description

Larinus sturnus can reach a body length of about 8–13 mm (0.31–0.51 in). These rather small weevils have a black, oval shaped, punctuated body, densely covered with yellow dust, with several yellowish patches of gray setae, that appear yellowish by a yellowish secretion and adhering pollen. The pronotum is one and a half times wider than long. Its oval shaped elytra are wider than the pronotum. In front of the scutellum, there is a slight but noticeable indentation. They show the characteristic rostrum of the weevil family. It is thick, long and curved, shorter in males, relatively longer in females. Its antennae are short with conspicuous clubs. This species is rather similar and often confused with other representatives of its genus, such as Larinus planus, Larinus jaceae and Larinus turbinatus. However, these beetles are usually larger than the similar species.

## Distribution

This species is widespread in central and southern Europe (Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Switzerland). It is only missing in the British Isles and in northern Scandinavia. It is also represented in the Mediterranean region including North Africa (Algeria and Morocco), the Near and Middle East (Iran) and Central Asia (Turkestan). The species also extends to southern Siberia and Central Asia.

## Habitat

These weevils occur in meadows, pastures, roadsides, edges of forests and shrubs, clearings and dry slopes.

## Biology

The females of Larinus sturnus lay one egg into one flower bud. The larvae develop in the flower heads of various composites (Asteraceae), especially in thistles (Cirsium). They feed on the seeds and the tissues of the flower. Adults can be found from May to September. They mostly occur on Arctium lappa, Arctium tomentosum, Carduus nutans, Cirsium lanceolatum, Cirsium heterophyllum, Cirsium oleraceum, Cirsium palustre, Centaurea jacea, Centaurea scabiosa, Silybum marianum and Carlina acaulis, They feed on plant sap.

# Latham, Western Australia

Latham is a small town in the Mid West region of Western Australia. It is named after Latham Rock, a large granite rock close to the townsite. The rock was named for an early pastoralist who established a watering place for stock being droved through the area.

The bulk wheat bin was opened in November 1936.
The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.
Champion wrestler George Dinnie (1875–1939) was a resident of Latham in the 1920s.

# Lawrence Lidsky

Lawrence Mark Lidsky (1935–2002) was a professor of nuclear engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Lidsky was born in Brooklyn, New York, on October 15, 1935. He did his undergraduate studies at Cornell University, graduating in 1958, and earned a doctorate in nuclear engineering from MIT in 1962 with a thesis entitled "Plasma Generation and Acceleration", after which he joined the MIT faculty.
Lidsky was the advisor to more than 80 graduate students and the founding editor of the Journal of Fusion Energy. In 1983, as assistant director for the MIT Plasma Fusion Center, Lidsky wrote an influential article about the difficulties of making a working nuclear fusion power plant. The ensuing reduction in federal funding for fusion research led him to resign from the center, and caused him to be "drummed out" of the nuclear fusion research community.
Because of his concerns with the viability of fusion power, he instead became by 1989 an advocate for safer nuclear fission reactor designs. In 1999 he was named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science "for outstanding contributions to both nuclear fission and fusion in education, research, system design and analysis, technical publications and federal policy".
He died March 1, 2002, in Newton, Massachusetts, after struggling with cancer for many years.

# Le Nationaliste

Le Nationaliste was a weekly newspaper (published on Sundays) and an organ of the Ligue nationaliste, an anti-imperialist and nationalist movement in Quebec, Canada.
The paper was founded by journalist Olivar Asselin, journalist and politician Henri Bourassa and others. Although Bourassa owned shares in the newspaper, he refrained from becoming active in its administration and, fearing his byline would imply his tacit approval of all its positions, quickly stopped contributing articles to it. The first issue was published on March 6, 1904, and Asselin assumed the presidency of the newspaper until 1908. It was an important part of the political debates in Quebec until the foundation in 1910 of Bourassa's Le Devoir newspaper, to which Asselin contributed for two months before tendering his resignation. In September 1922, Le Nationaliste merged with Le Devoir to become the later's Saturday edition, titled Le Nationaliste et le Devoir.

# Legislative Assembly of Singapore

The Legislative Assembly of the State of Singapore was the legislature of the Government of Singapore from 1955 to 1965 and is the predecessor of the Parliament of Singapore. The Rendel Constitution, proposed in 1953, sought to give the local population more self-governance as the Merdeka independence movement grew. The Constitution took effect upon the conclusion of the 1955 general election, creating the new Legislative Assembly to replace the Legislative Council of Singapore. In contrast to the Legislative Council, the majority of seats in the Legislative Assembly in 1955 were allotted by election rather than appointment by the British colonial government. 25 seats were elected and 7 were appointed. The British colonial government still reserved significant power, such as that of veto and control of certain aspects of the government.
Ensuing activism for self-governance from the United Kingdom by Chief Ministers David Marshall and Lim Yew Hock led to a further amendment of the Constitution of Singapore in 1958, which proposed a fully elected body of 51 seats. This proposal took effect upon the conclusion of the 1959 general election.
Upon the independence of Singapore in 1965, the Legislative Assembly was succeeded by the Parliament of Singapore.
