# Carpooling.com

carpooling.com was a carpooling service that connected drivers and passengers so they can share a ride. It was Europe's largest carpooling network. In 2015, it was acquired and folded into BlaBlaCar.

## History

carpooling.com started as a student project, and was established in Munich, Germany in 2001 by the three founders Stefan Weber, Matthias Siedler and Dr. Michael Reinicke. The intention of the original website, mitfahrgelegenheit.de, was to enable people with limited budget to travel, while addressing their concern for the environment. By sharing a ride, people could save gas and money, reduce auto emissions and meet new friends.
In 2003 already, through word of mouth, mitfahrgelegenheit.de became the largest carpooling site in Germany and by 2008, the founders decided to focus on it full-time. As the popularity of the platform grew, the business began to generate revenue through key partnerships (i. e. with German automobile club ADAC, Deutsche Bahn, ProSiebenSat.1 etc.) and advertising.
The site was then launched in Austria and Switzerland, the German-speaking neighboring countries. In 2009, following a venture capital investment from Earlybird Venture Capital, the company expanded to France, Italy, Poland, Greece, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Greece.
In 2011, the company re-branded as carpooling.com and hired Markus Barnikel, a former Yahoo! senior executive as its new CEO in November 2011. The economic crisis, mobile technology, rising environmental awareness and the emerging trend of collaborative consumption continued to fuel the growth of carpooling in Europe.
In 2012, carpooling.com became a global leader in ridesharing with 1 million people transported each month across 40 countries in Europe. The site teamed up with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and innovative cities wishing to implement sustainable mobility solutions. In July 2012, the German automobile manufacturer Daimler AG invested $10 million in carpooling.com. This was to help the company prepare its launch in the United States, where carpooling seemed to be making a comeback. In 2013, the company launched a partnership with Uber.
The company was sold to its competitor BlaBlaCar in April 2015 for an undisclosed amount.

## Features

Carpooling.com enabled drivers to offer available seats online and passengers to find a ride. People could select the users that they want to ride with, how much space and comfort they needed, where they wanted to meet and what they were willing to pay. People could also book and pay for a seat online and drivers and passengers could rate each other after a ride. The service could be accessed from a computer, a mobile phone (iPhone, Android) or Facebook. It was available in seven languages and localized in 9 countries. The site also offered rides on train, bus and planes to give passengers a link to their final destination.
# Gertrud Ahlgren

Gertrud Olofsdotter Ahlgren (1782–1874), known under the name Hejnumskäringen, was a noted Swedish cunning woman, active on Gotland in 1813–1870. She is a well-known figure in the folklore of Gotland.

## Early life

Ahlgren was born in Hejnum in 1782, as a descendant of the famous cunning woman Brita Biörn. She succeeded her mother, Greta Olofsdotter Enderberg, as cunning woman in 1813, and was like her, known under the name Hejnumskäringen, ("The Crone of Hejnum").

## Work

She lived in a small cottage at a three-way crossing east of Hejnum church. She assisted her mother and replaced her when she stopped working in 1813, and continued herself until her eyesight begun to deteriorate in 1870. Mother and daughter were both known for their herbal medicines, but were also attributed magical powers.
In a Letter to the editor in Wisby Weckoblad (The Weekly Visby Paper) in 1836, the local doctor in Visby, Andreas Andrée, critically described her and her mother's activity in a warning against cunning women in general:
    "The cunning woman of Gotland: The Crown of them all, the so called Hejnum Crone, mother and daughter, has for many years without protest continued their fraudulent Confidence trick... Should you ask who these wise women are, you will usually find them to be from the worst class of people, rough, ignorant and often ill reputed females..."
Despite the fact that legitimate medical doctors started to become more accessible to the public, Ahlgren herself commented on her own success and popularity with the words:
    "The doctors cure by new [methods], illnesses are old and I cure by old [methods]".

Pleasant Ridge Township was organized in 1841.
# Acacia curranii

Acacia curranii, also known as curly-bark wattle, is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Juliflorae that is native to north eastern Australia. It is listed as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

## Description

The shrub typically grows to a maximum height of around 3 m (9.8 ft) and has multiple stems. It has grey to maroon coloured minni ritchi style bark. The sub-glabrous or silky haired branchlets are angular towards the apices and a maroon-grey colour with young shoots that have fine yellow hairs close to the stem. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The erect, thick, evergreen phyllodes have a linear shape with a length of 8.5 to 18 cm (3.3 to 7.1 in) and a width of 0.7 to 1.5 mm (0.028 to 0.059 in) with longitudinal striations and around 25 closely parallel veins. It blooms between August and September producing golden flowers. The obloid flower-spikes are around 0.4 to 1.2 cm (0.16 to 0.47 in) in length packed with golden coloured flowers. After flowering firmly chartaceous seed pods form that are flat and have a linear shape with reasonably straight sides but slightly constricted between seeds. The pods are 4 to 7 cm (1.6 to 2.8 in) in length and 2 to 3 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in) wide and have loosely matted hairs. The dark brown seeds inside are arranged longitudinallyand have a narrow oblong-elliptic shape with a length of approximately 3 mm (0.12 in) and a depressed grey-brown areole.

## Distribution

It has a disjunct distribution and is endemic to parts of south eastern Queensland in the Darling Downs are around Gurulmundi growing in poorly drained sandy soils overlying sandstone in the north and also is found on the western plains of New South Wales where it is found on igneous hill growing in skeletal soils. In New South Wales it is found around Lake Cargelligo and the Gunderbooka Range. The three areas it is found in are separated by several hundred kilometres. Within these areas there are approximately twenty populations of the species found in around from ten broad localities continuing a total of fewer than 5,000 individual plants.
# Eois xanthoperata

Eois xanthoperata is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in Bolivia.
# Melaleuca depauperata

Melaleuca depauperata is a shrub in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It has small, fleshy leaves and purple to pink flowers on short stalks along the branches.

## Description

Melaleuca depauperata is dense, bushy, spreading shrub growing to about 2 m (7 ft) high and wide with fibrous bark. Its leaves are arranged alternately around the stem and are 1.8–5 mm (0.07–0.2 in) long and 1.0–3.0 mm (0.04–0.1 in) wide, flat but rather fleshy and oval shaped, usually with a blunt end but sometimes with a sharp point.
The flowers are mauve, pink or violet in spikes of between 4 and 17 individual flowers which fade to white as they age. The spikes are in the leaf axils, have a short stalk and are about 15 mm (0.6 in) in diameter. Flowering occurs from September to January but mainly between October and November. The fruit are almost spherical woody capsules 3.4 mm (0.1 in) long in loose clusters.

## Taxonomy and naming

This species was first formally described in 1852 by the Russian botanist Nikolai Turczaninow in Bulletin de la Classe physico-mathématique de l'Académie impériale des sciences de Saint-Pétersbourg. The specific epithet (depauperata) is from the Latin depauperatus, possibly referring to the type specimen having few flowers.

## Distribution and habitat

Melaleuca depauperata occurs inland from the Stirling Range as far as Wagin and eastwards as far as Muntadgin and the Peak Charles National Park in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains and Mallee biogeographic regions. It grows on sandy and clayey soils on flats and roadsides.

## Conservation status

Melaleuca depauperata is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.
# Piscicide

A piscicide is a chemical substance which is poisonous to fish. The primary use for piscicides is to eliminate a dominant species of fish in a body of water, as the first step in attempting to populate the body of water with a different fish. They are also used to combat parasitic and invasive species of fish.
Examples of piscicides include rotenone, saponins, TFM, niclosamide and Antimycin A (Fintrol).

## Plant-based piscicides

Historically, fishing techniques of indigenous people around the world have frequently included the use of plant-based piscicides. Many of these plants are natural sources of rotenone and saponins.
The genera Tephrosia, Wikstroemia, and Barringtonia are well known as fish poisons.

| AllMusic | |
The AllMusic review by Al Campbell said "All compositions are by Baron, and will definitely satisfy those with an open ear to creative music on the edge, while the sometimes funky arrangements should make the CD much more palatable to casual listeners. Crackshot covers a lot of ground in its 11 tracks ... Challenging yet oddly accessible. Highly recommended". In JazzTimes Sid Gribetz wrote "The album showcases Baron’s very melodious post-modern drumming, with crisp, articulated, solo passages. The disc also features all Baron compositions, with room for staccato bursts, seemingly unlinked by melody or lyricism, but somehow still very musical. The hearty songs are really riffs for exploration, soul taken downtown".

# G. M. Hirst

Gertrude Mary Hirst (January 22, 1869 – January 12, 1962), better known as G. M. Hirst, was an English-American classicist. Her most influential publication was her 1926 proposal that Livy was born in 64 BC, rather than the traditional date of 59 BC; this claim would later also be advocated by academics including Ronald Syme.

## Early life

Hirst was born in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, in 1869. Her father, Alfred, was a prosperous wool-stapler, and her mother, Mary Wrigley Hirst, was first cousin to H. H. Asquith, British Liberal MP and Prime Minister from 1908-1916. She was the sister of journalist, historian, and biographer Francis Hirst, and writer Margaret Hirst. Her brother William was a published authority on Argentina.

## Academic life

Hirst read Classics at Newnham College, Cambridge, from 1887 to 1891, where she became friends with classicist Arthur Woolgar Verrall and his wife Margaret, and the scholar of ancient Greek religion Jane Harrison. She worked as a lecturer in Classics at the University of Birmingham before moving to the United States to become a teacher at the Louisville Female Seminary, where she worked from 1891 to 1901.
She meanwhile did graduate work at Columbia under Edward Delavan Perry and Mortimer Lamson Earle, earning a master's degree in 1900 and Ph.D. in 1901. Her dissertation, The Cults of Olbia, was published in the Journal of Hellenic Studies. Upon earning her Ph.D., she became assistant professor in Greek and Latin at Barnard College, a position she held from 1901 through to her retirement in 1943.
Hirst lived in the dormitory and dined with the girls, often inviting them to tea. She was known for riding down the centre of Broadway on her bicycle. Perhaps her most famous student was archaeologist Evelyn Byrd Harrison.
Her one published book of collected papers includes writing on the Roman authors Catullus, Horace, Livy, Juvenal, Virgil, Martial, Tacitus, and Statius.
In 1957, she also published "From a Yorkshire Town to Morningside Heights," where she recounts her life experiences.
Her most influential publication was her 1926 proposal (in Classical World vol. 19) that Livy was born in 64 BC, rather than the traditional date of 59 BC. This meant that Livy died in Patavium in AD 17 at the age of 81 rather than 76, and that his advanced age, rather than the succession of Tiberius, led him to retire to his native town.
She died in Croton, New York, in 1962.

# Roman Horáček

Roman Horáček (1969–2006) was a Czechoslovak serial killer who murdered three women in his hometown of Litoměřice between 1990 and 1991, one of which he was linked to via DNA after but never convicted.
Horáček went on the run to escape charges for his first murder, and was himself murdered at an unknown date, as his body was found in 2006. His murder remains unsolved.

## Early life

Little is known about Horáček's early life. Born in 1969 in Litoměřice, he supposedly committed his first violent offense at age 12, when it was alleged that he stabbed his neighbor with a hunting knife. However, he was not tried for this crime due to his young age.

## Murders

According to investigators, in 1990 Horáček murdered doctor Libuše Lednická at her office in Litoměřice, where he worked as an orderly, and then set the room on fire. While he was considered the only suspect in the case and his DNA was found at the crime scene, authorities could not arrest him at the time due to a lack of precision in the science at the time. Shortly after his release for his latter crimes, however, Horáček provided another DNA sample, which this time successfully confirmed that he was indeed the culprit. An arrest warrant was issued for him in July 2004.
In January 1991, Horáček murdered his ex-wife and her sister at their family home, strangling them both and then placing their bodies in bathtubs on different floors of the house. The apparent motive for the murders was jealousy, as Horáček wanted to rekindle his relationship with his ex-wife, who had started dating another man. Despite denying responsibility for the double murder and claiming that he was simply inside the house, he was convicted and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for this crime. Horáček was paroled in July 2004 before fully completing his sentence.

## Death

Shortly after being released, Horáček went on the run from police, hiding out in České Budějovice with his former cellmate. Together, they were known to have repeatedly committed burglaries in the area.
Sometime April 2006, Horáček got into an argument with his accomplice while they were having a dinner in a pub. According to the accomplice's testimony, he hit Horáček with a wooden bar and loaded his body into his car, abandoning him at the Římov Reservoir. The body remained undiscovered until July 24, when it was accidentally found during a search for a victim in an unrelated crime. While the body initially remained unidentified until October of that year, coroners were able to establish that Horáček was severely beaten - he had multiple fractures, strangulation marks, blood spurts and broken ribs - before being thrown into the reservoir, but were unable to establish whether he succumbed to his injuries or drowned. Moreover, he was handcuffed and his body was suspended with a thirty-pound weight.
Investigators immediately suspected that he was murdered by his former cellmate, but as he denied killing Horáček and they had no conclusive to prove otherwise, the man was never charged.

## In media

The Horáček case was covered on an episode of Záhady Josefa Klímy ("Josef Klíma's mysteries").
# Eolyne Y. Nichols

Eolyne Yvette Nichols (1919–2008) was an American pilot and aeronautical engineer. She served in the Women Airforce Service Pilots.

## Early life and training

Nichols grew up in Miami. Her father, inventor I.G. Nichols, supported her plans to become an aviator. Nichols went to Lane Mechanical High School, where she was the only female student. She entered the University of Illinois when she was 14 years old, as a student in the Aeronautical Engineering and Civil Engineering College. There, she studied languages, art, and industrial design.
Nichols completed a civil pilot training program in 1940. She trained for her commercial license at Harbican Air College in Chicago.

## Service in WW II

During World War II Nichols served first in the Women's Air Force (WAF) program, then the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs). In the WASP, she flew both medium and heavy bombers, and was one of the first five women to fly a B-29. She also flew B-17's, C-54's, and several other models of plane. Nichols's work included towing targets, testing planes, and ferrying radio-controlled aircraft. As an aeronautical engineer, she also worked in classified research at the California Institute of Technology.
By 1946, Nichols had spent 5,500 hours in the air, many of them in South America, where she charted routes for various governments. She flew in Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, and Venezuela.

## Later life

Nichols worked on a pilot selection committee for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, where she was one of three members tasked with hiring 250 Canadian pilots for the company. Nichols also organized the pilots' transportation to Europe. She later became deputy operations manager for Iranian Airways, negotiating routes over European, Asian, and African countries.

# Red rainbowfish

The red rainbowfish or salmon-red rainbowfish (Glossolepis incisa) is a species of rainbowfish from Lake Sentani in Irian Jaya, Indonesia. Belonging to the family Melanotaeniidae, in the subfamily Melanotaeniinae, the Australian rainbowfishes. It is threatened in its native range, but easily bred in captivity and common in the aquarium trade.

## Description

The males are bright red and with age grow a high back. The females are olive brown in colour. Their colours change depending on their mood, but subordinate males do not display bright colours. They grow up to 15 cm (5.9 in) in size, but typically attain a smaller size of around 12 cm (4.7 in).

## Breeding

They are an egg scattering species and they scatter their eggs among clumps of vegetation. The eggs take about 7 days to hatch.

## Nutrition

Glossolepis incisus is an omnivore and in captivity it will eat most common commercial aquarium foods readily. It may be slightly more carnivorous than most of the Australian rainbowfish.

## Conservation status

The IUCN Red List classifies Glossolepis incisa as endangered. This is because of the rapidly increasing human population around this fish's only natural habitat and introduced species such as tilapia.

## Distribution

This species is endemic to Lake Sentani and its tributaries near Jayapura in Papua, Indonesia (a range it shares with the related Chilatherina sentaniensis).

## Taxonomy

Glossolepis incisa is the type species of the genus Glossolepis and was described by Max C.W. Weber in 1907. The name is virtually always misspelt as "incisus." However, the genus name (Glossolepis) is feminine, and the specific taxon must follow form.
# Edmundo Searle

Edmundo "Mundo" Searle (March 15, 1893 – May 20, 1982) was a Chilean cartoonist who specialized in society and turf cartoons.
Searle was born in Valparaíso, and studied at the San Luis English School of Limache and at the Colegio de los Sagrados Corazones of Valparaíso, where he graduated in 1908. He started his career as cartoonist in 1909, working for the Sucesos magazine and the newspaper La Unión de Valparaíso. From early on he signed his work as "Mundo". He married Esperanza Artaza, and had two children: Edmundo and Perla. In 1917 he emigrated to the US, where he worked for the New York Herald, but soon returned to Chile in 1918.
Between 1928 and 1931 Searle moved with his family to London, where he worked for The Bystander, Daily Sketch, Illustrated London News and Tatler. He was an ardent turfman and a frequent visitor to Ascot, Epsom and Windsor, becoming a close friend of Edward VIII, then Prince of Wales.
After his return to Chile, he concentrated principally on turf matters. The first retrospective of his work was held in August 1976, at the central hall of the Catholic University of Chile. Searle died in Santiago in 1982 at the age of 89.
