John Sears (1744 – 1817) (colloquially known as Sleepy John Sears) was a salt producer in   Massachusetts Bay Colony.

He was born in Yarmouth on the neck of Cape Cod and spent most of his life as a sea captain. He was known as Sleepy John because of his habit of falling asleep during the day.

In the years leading up to the Revolutionary War the colonists were concerned about the loss of salt imports from overseas which were vital for the preservation of meat and fish. The Continental Congress declared a bounty of one third of a dollar for each bushel (56 pounds weight) produced, but it was soon discovered that boiling down seawater to produce it was highly uneconomic.

John Sears adopted a different solution based on the evaporation of seawater in large wooden vats, which he constructed near his Cape Cod home in Dennis, Massachusetts. The process was inefficient and unrewarding at first, but he improved it by making the vats leakproof, providing moveable covers to keep out the rain and installing a salvaged bilge pump to draw water directly from the sea via leadlined wooden pipes. He profited considerably both from his production improvements and from the increase in the price of salt from 50 cents a bushel to $8 by the time the war finished in 1783. In 1785 he built a windmill to pump the water automatically from the sea.

He died in 1817 a relatively rich man and was buried in nearby West Brewster. His epitaph is inscribed “John Sears, Inventor of the Salt Works, Aged 72 y’rs". He had married his wife Phebe Sears on 26 Dec 1771 in Yarmouth and had 9 children.

By the time of his death many other local people had followed him into vat based salt production and by 1837 there were in excess of 650 saltworks on Cape Cod alone, an industry that prospered until cheaper alternative sources became available in the 1800s. He is nowadays jointly commemorated, together with John Winthrop, Jnr, by the annual award from the Chemists' Club and Chemical Heritage Foundation of the Winthrop-Sears Medal, which recognizes entrepreneurial achievement in the chemical field.

Taita Cushitic is an extinct pair of South Cushitic languages, spoken by Cushitic peoples inhabiting the Taita Hills of Kenya, before they were assimilated into the Bantu population after the Bantu Migration into East Africa.  Evidence for the languages is primarily South Cushitic loanwords in the Bantu languages Dawida and Saghala (which are sometimes grouped together as the Taita language), as well as oral traditions of the Dawida and Saghala.

Overview
According to Derek Nurse and Christopher Ehret, the Taita Cushitic languages consist of a pair of Southern Cushitic languages, which they term "Taita Cushitic A" and "Taita Cushitic B".

Ehret and Nurse (1981) suggest that Cushitic-speaking peoples reached the Taita Hills as early as the second millennium BC. South Cushitic loanwords that are found today in the Dawida and Saghala varieties of the Bantu Taita language indicate that at least three such South Cushitic communities previously inhabited the Taita area. Analysis of the type of South Cushitic loanwords that were adopted by Bantu speakers in the Taita Hills indicates that these South Cushitic communities probably formed a majority of the region's population prior to the arrival of Bantu peoples. Nurse adds that it is likely that the Taita Cushites were completely assimilated only recently since the lateral consonants in South Cushitic loanwords that were borrowed by speakers of the Bantu Taita language were still pronounced as such within living memory. However, those laterals have now been replaced.

Ehret notes that the Taita Cushitic loanwords that were preserved in the Saghala and Dawida varieties of the Bantu Taita language include terms such as "to buy/sell" and "wild dog". Some of the borrowed Cushitic terms also subsequently underwent sound changes and/or alterations in morphology after adoption by Bantu Taita speakers. Additionally, Nurse suggests that certain South Cushitic loanwords that are today found in the Bantu Mijikenda language are also of Taita Cushitic origin. He adds that these word-borrowings may have been adopted indirectly via Taita Bantu intermediaries, who had themselves borrowed the terms from South Cushites at an earlier date.

According to E. H. Merritt (1975), oral traditions of the Taita Bantus likewise assert that two populations, which are usually identified as South Cushitic-speaking peoples, in the past inhabited the Taita Hills before the arrival of their own ancestors. These Cushitic former residents are remembered by a variety of often interchanging names, including the "Bisha", "Sikimi", "Nyamba" and "Wasi".

is a  high lattice tower with an observation deck at a height of 100 metres in Naka Ward, Yokohama, Japan.

The light characteristic is marked by a flash every twenty seconds, whereby the light's colour is alternating red and green. Originally, at night, the tower shaft itself was lit green and red according to its markings, but now, after the reopening in May 2009, the lights are white.

History
Yokohama Marine Tower was inaugurated in 1961. The Marine Tower is billed "the tallest lighthouse in the world", although this depends on what lighthouses are considered. In clear conditions, visitors can see Mount Fuji from the 100-metre high observation deck.

On December 25, 2006, Marine Tower temporarily shut its doors. Then the city of Yokohama took over ownership, to restore it. After the renovations, Marine Tower was reopened on May 23, 2009, in time for the city's 150th anniversary celebrations.

Tulosesus mitrinodulisporus is a species of mushroom-forming fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae.

Taxonomy 
It was first described by Italian mycologists Francesco Doveri and Sabrina Sarrocco as new to science in 2011, it was found growing on the dung of chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra).

The species was known as Coprinellus mitrinodulisporus until 2020 when the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer reclassified many species in the Psathyrellaceae family based on phylogenetic analysis.

Etymology 
The specific epithet mitrinodulisporus, which combines the Latin words mitra ("mitre"), nodulus ("small knob"), and spora ("spore"), refers to the shape of the spores. The fungus is known only from the type locality in Aosta, Italy.

 Simpsonichthys trilineatus (Costa & Brasil, 1994)
 Simpsonichthys virgulatus (Costa & Brasil, 2006)
 Simpsonichthys zonatus (Costa & Brasil, 1990)

Simpsonichthys sensu lato was formerly one of the larger genera in the family, but four former subgenera were elevated to full genera in 2010: Hypsolebias, Ophthalmolebias, Spectrolebias and Xenurolebias. Some uncertainty remains, with one genetic study supporting them, while another genetic study indicates that Simpsonichthys (sensu stricto), Hypsolebias and Spectrolebias are not monophyletic.

With these as separate genera, there are currently 9 recognized species in Simpsonichthys:

 Simpsonichthys boitonei 
 Simpsonichthys cholopteryx
 Simpsonichthys espinhacensis
 Simpsonichthys margaritatus 
 Simpsonichthys nigromaculatus
 Simpsonichthys parallelus
 Simpsonichthys punctulatus
 Simpsonichthys santanae
 Simpsonichthys zonatus

The name of this genus is a compound of the name of a friend of Antenor Leitão de Carvalho's, Charles J. Simpson of San Francisco, and the Greek for fish, ichthys.
