# Pasting lemma

In topology, the pasting or gluing lemma, and sometimes the gluing rule, is an important result which says that two continuous functions can be "glued together" to create another continuous function. The lemma is implicit in the use of piecewise functions. For example, in the book Topology and Groupoids, where the condition given for the statement below is that $A\setminus B\subseteq \operatorname {Int} A$ and $B\setminus A\subseteq \operatorname {Int} B.$
The pasting lemma is crucial to the construction of the fundamental group and fundamental groupoid of a topological space; it allows one to concatenate paths to create a new path.

## Formal statement

Let $X,Y$ be both closed (or both open) subsets of a topological space $A$ such that $A=X\cup Y$, and let $B$ also be a topological space. If $f:A\to B$ is continuous when restricted to both $X$ and $Y,$ then $f$ is continuous.
This result allows one to take two continuous functions defined on closed (or open) subsets of a topological space and create a new one.
Proof: if $U$ is a closed subset of $B,$ then $f^{-1}(U)\cap X$ and $f^{-1}(U)\cap Y$ are both closed since each is the preimage of $f$ when restricted to $X$ and $Y$ respectively, which by assumption are continuous. Then their union, $f^{-1}(U)$ is also closed, being a finite union of closed sets.
A similar argument applies when $X$ and $Y$ are both open. $\Box$
The infinite analog of this result (where $A=X_{1}\cup X_{2}\cup X_{3}\cup \cdots$) is not true for closed $X_{1},X_{2},X_{3},\ldots .$ For instance, the inclusion map $\iota :\mathbb {Z} \to \mathbb {R}$ from the integers to the real line (with the integers equipped with the cofinite topology) is continuous when restricted to an integer, but the preimage of a bounded open set in the reals with this map is at most a finite number of points, so not open in $\mathbb {Z} .$
It is, however, true if the $X_{1},X_{2},X_{3}\ldots$ form a locally finite collection since a union of locally finite closed sets is closed. Similarly, it is true if the $X_{1},X_{2},X_{3},\ldots$ are instead assumed to be open since a union of open sets is open.

# Pat Lasch

Pat Lasch (born 1944) is an American conceptual artist, painter, and sculptor.
Born in New York City, Lasch received her bachelor's degree from Queens College of the City University of New York. Throughout her career she has shown work in exhibitions throughout the United States. Her father was a pastry chef born in Germany, and many of her works feature cakes as a response to his career. Part of the first generation of feminist artists to gain prominence, she is noted for her sculptures which depict ordinary objects, such as ball gowns crafted from dried acrylic paint, created from unusual materials.
A 1988 bronze sculpture by Lasch, Self-Portrait: Renaissance Woman and Her Lover, is owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her work may also be found in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. The latter museum also once owned a wedding cake sculpture commissioned in 1979 by Kynaston McShine for its fiftieth anniversary, but this was discarded sometime due to irreversible deterioration of its components in the 1990s, a fact which was not disclosed to the artist until 2016.
Journeys of the Heart, exhibited at the Palm Springs Museum in California, surveyed 43 years of work by Pat Lasch. It featured delicate cake and pastry sculptures made from dried acrylic paint and a video of the artist at work.

# Himalayan goral

The Himalayan goral (Naemorhedus goral) or the gray goral, is a bovid species native to the Himalayas. It is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List because the population is thought to be declining significantly due to habitat loss and hunting for meat.

## Characteristics

The Himalayan goral is 95 to 130 cm (37 to 51 in) in length and weighs 35–42 kg (77–93 lb). It has a gray or gray-brown coat with tan legs, lighter patches on its throat, and a single dark stripe along its spine. Males have short manes on their necks. Both males and females have backward-curving horns which can grow up to 18 cm (7.1 in) in length. In addition to certain peculiarities in the form of the skull, gorals are chiefly distinguished from the closely related serows in that they do not possess preorbital glands below their eyes, nor corresponding depressions in their skulls.

## Distribution and habitat

The Himalayan goral occurs in the Himalayas from Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, southern Tibet, and the states of Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh in India to possibly western Myanmar. It most commonly occurs from 900 to 2,750 m (2,950 to 9,020 ft) above sea level, but has been recorded in Pakistan at elevations of 1,000 to 4,000 m (3,300 to 13,100 ft). Approximately 370–1017 Himalayan goral were present in Pakistan As of 2004, occurring in seven isolated populations. It is most likely absent from the Punjab Province of Pakistan.

## Behaviour and ecology

Himalayan goral group home range size is typically around 40 ha (0.40 km$^2$), with males occupying marked territories of 22–25 ha (0.22–0.25 km$^2$) during the mating season. Himalayan goral often form small bands of four to twelve individuals, although they are also known to pair off or, especially in the case of older males, be solitary. The animal is crepuscular, being most active in the early morning and late evening. After a morning meal, it often drinks and then rests on a rock ledge through the day. It feeds on leaves and associated softer parts of plants, mainly grasses. The Himalayan goral is very agile and can run quickly. Due to its coloration it is very well camouflaged, so that it is extremely difficult to sight it, especially since it spends much of the day lying still. However, it is hunted by various predators, notably the Himalayan wolf.
Himalayan goral can live for 14 or 15 years. The female gives birth after a gestation period of 170–218 days, usually to a single offspring. The young are weaned at 7 or 8 months of age and reach sexual maturity at around 3 years.

## Conservation

Naemorhedus goral is listed in CITES Appendix I.
# Valiant Lady (ship)

Valiant Lady is a cruise ship operated by Virgin Voyages. After she was ordered in October 2016 with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, her coin ceremony was held in February 2019 and she was floated out in May 2020 from the shipyard in Sestri Ponente. She was delivered to Virgin in July 2021 as the fleet's second vessel and sailed her maiden voyage in March 2022 from Portsmouth. At 110,000 GT and measuring 278 metres (912 ft) long for a capacity of 2,770 passengers, she was built with similar proportions to older sister ship Scarlet Lady.

## Construction and career
### Planning and construction

On 4 December 2014, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson announced that Virgin Group was forming Virgin Cruises, together with the backing of Bain Capital, and revealed plans to build two new cruise ships. On 23 June 2015, Virgin Cruises announced that it signed a letter of intent with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri for three cruise ships that could each accommodate approximately 2,800 guests and 1,150 crew for seven-day Caribbean voyages. The three-ship order reportedly cost US$2.55 billion, with the second ship scheduled to begin operating in 2021. The order's contract for the ships was formally signed on 18 October 2016, the same day Virgin Cruises rebranded as Virgin Voyages. In joining her sister ship, initial details revealed she would measure 110,000 GT, 278 metres (912 ft) long, and 38 metres (125 ft) wide, with 1,400 passenger cabins to house up to approximately 2,700 passengers, accompanied by 1,150 crew members.
On 20 July 2018, Virgin inaugurated the construction for its second ship with the ship's steel-cutting ceremony at Fincantieri's shipyard in Sestri Ponente. The ship's coin ceremony was performed on 8 February 2019. On 19 November 2019, Virgin revealed the name of its second ship as Valiant Lady. During the COVID-19 pandemic, construction delays arose after Fincantieri's operations were suspended. Originally expected to be floated out in March 2020, Valiant Lady was floated out from her dry dock two months behind schedule, on 20 May 2020, and was moved to a new berth to complete her outfitting work. The ship was delivered on 1 July 2021.

### Operational career

Valiant Lady entered service on 18 March 2022, sailing a three night cruise from Portsmouth, England to Zeebrugge, Belgium. She continued sailing from Portsmouth with itineraries visiting Belgium, Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands before repositioning to the Mediterranean in summer 2022. From May 2022, she sailed from Barcelona to destinations in Italy, Spain, Gibraltar and France. She then repositioned to Miami, Florida in October 2022 to operate cruises to the Caribbean over the winter, before returning to the Mediterranean in summer 2023.
During a cruise in the Atlantic ocean in April 2023, a young woman fell off a balcony and fell on another person. The former died from her injuries.
March 2024 sees the Valiant Lady playing host to the first ever WPT Voyage, a 1-week charter full ship takeover by the World Poker Tour.
# John Ruthven (general)

Sir John Ruthven (died c.1648) was a military officer who served in Denmark and Sweden during the Thirty Years' War before returning to the British Isles for brief service in the English Civil Wars.
Ruthven served first as a captain in Danish service from 1627. As Christian IV of Denmark made peace with the Habsburg Emperor in 1629, Ruthven, along with many other Scottish soldiers in Danish service, then turned to Sweden to continue the war. He first appears in Swedish service in 1629 serving as a captain of the Scottish infantry at Stralsund under the command of Alexander Leslie. He was soon promoted lieutenant-colonel in Leslie's infantry regiment (by 1630) and led an infantry regiment in the Battle of Breitenfeld on 17 September 1631 as full colonel. He later took part in the Battle of the Alte Veste near Nuernberg on 3 September 1632, and later took part in the bloody conquest of Landsberg/Lech (Bavaria) under the command of Lennart Torstensson.
Ruthven was promoted to major-general by 1636 and took part in the Battle of Wittstock as de facto commander of the reserve when Major General Vitzthum refused orders to advance. Evidence from eye-witness accounts by the generals show that this was John and not his uncle Patrick Ruthven as sometimes claimed. In 1638 he sought permission to leave Swedish service in order to return to Scotland to participate in the Bishops' Wars under his uncle's command. John Ruthven appears to have not taken part in any of the action in this conflict, but did hold the king's commission in his uncle's regiment. When the Civil Wars broke out in England in 1642, John Ruthven appears to have retired from service, and did not join his uncle's retinue in England. Ruthven was however involved with the merchant financier Robert Inglis in raising money for the Scottish army in 1643 as a loan from the Countess of Home.
He married Barbara Leslie, the eldest daughter of Alexander Leslie. In 1663, his son Francis Ruthven and his wife Elizabeth Ruthven (daughter of Thomas Ruthven, 1st Lord Ruthven of Freeland) had Isobell Ruthven, the future Lady of Freeland.

# Patriarch Zoilus of Alexandria

Zoilus served as Greek Patriarch of Alexandria between 541 and 551.
Zacharias Rhetor reports on how Patriarch Paul of Alexandria was involved in a murder. He was consequently deposed and replaced by Zoilus (in 539/540). Acacius was the military officer tasked to protect Zoilus from the hostile population of Alexandria. Zacharia details: "Ephraim of Antioch was sent to Alexandria, and Abraham Bar Khili [accompanied him]; and, as they passed through Palestine, they took with them a monk named Zoilus. And they went to Alex[andria and] investigated the action of Paul;and they drove him from his see and enthroned Zoilus, a Synodite, in the city: and in order to protect this man from the violence [of] the people of the city, they appointed Acacius Bar Eshkhofo of Amida tribune of the Romans there."

# John Stuart Skinner

John Stuart Skinner (22 February 1788 – 21 March 1851) was an American purser for the navy, post master, and the founder and editor of several magazines dealing with agriculture and outdoor life. The magazines he began promoted new agricultural industry including sericulture, horse breeding, cattle rearing and sport hunting. He has been considered as the founder of agricultural journalism in the US.

## Life and work

Skinner was born in Calvert County, Maryland where his ancestors had settled from England. He went to country schools and then to Charlotte Hall, St. Mary's county after which he worked at Annapolis in a county court. He studied law after which he became an attorney. In 1813 he was appointed as an agent for prisoner exchange by President James Madison. In 1813 he served as a purser in the navy at Baltimore. In August 1814 he rode 90 miles at night to warn of British troops moving to Washington. Subsequently, Skinner was sent along with Francis Scott Key to negotiate the release of Maryland physician William Beanes. Skinner obtained letters from British prisoners stating that they were treated well and was able to impress Major General Robert Ross to release Dr Beanes. They were however held aboard a British ship just off Fort McHenry and it was during that time that Key would compose what became the US national anthem. In 1816, Skinner was appointed postmaster of Baltimore. He held the position until 1849. In 1819 he founded an agricultural periodical The American Farmer that gained wide support and he soon became an expert on agricultural matters and on outdoor sports. In 1824 he was chosen to manage a 20,000 acre farm gifted to General Lafayette. In 1829 he started another periodical American Turf Register and Sporting Magazine after which he sold the American Farmer to I. Irvine Hitchcock and Co. under the editorship of Gideon B. Smith. In 1839 he sold off the Turf Register as well and in 1845 began yet another called the Farmer's Library and Monthly Journal of Agriculture. He has been considered as a founding figure in agricultural journalism in the US.
Skinner married Elizabeth Glen Davies, step-daughter of Chancellor Theodorick Bland, and they had a son Frederick Gustavus (1814–1894) who went to France when he was twelve and grew up under the care of General Lafayette at his estate La Grange. Skinner was sent to France for two years. His son returned to the US and became a colonel in the 1st Virginia Infantry during the civil war. He left the regiment following injury. Colonel Skinner also took an interest in dogs and guns and became an editor for the Turf, Field, and Farm. Skinner died after accidentally falling into the cellar of the post office he worked in. The family are buried at Westminster Cemetery, Baltimore.
