Arthur Merric Boyd (19 March 1862 – 30 July 1940) was an Australian painter. He and his wife Emma Minnie (née à Beckett) established a lifestyle of being artists, which many generations followed to create the popular image of the Boyd family.

Biography
Boyd was born in Opoho, Dunedin, New Zealand, son of Captain John Theodore Thomas Boyd, formerly of County Mayo, Ireland, and his wife Lucy Charlotte, daughter of Dr Robert Martin of Heidelberg, Victoria. The Boyds moved to Australia in the mid-1870s, and on 14 January 1886, Boyd married Emma Minnie à Beckett, also an artist and known as Minnie, daughter of the Hon. W. A. C. à Beckett of Melbourne. In 1890, they moved to England and lived for a time at Penleigh House, Westbury, Wiltshire, and in 1891 husband and wife each had a picture in the Royal Academy exhibition.

Boyd then travelled and painted a good deal on the continent of Europe, and returned to Australia about the end of 1893, where he lived mostly in Sandringham and other suburbs of Melbourne for the rest of his life. He occasionally sent good work to the exhibitions of the Victorian Artists' Society, but never mixed much in the artistic life of his time.

Minnie Boyd died at Melbourne on 13 September 1936 at Sandringham. Arthur Merric Boyd died on the property of his son, Merric, at Murrumbeena on 30 July 1940. Each is represented by a picture in the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. They left three sons, Theodore Penleigh Boyd (1890–1923), Martin à Beckett Boyd (1893–1972), a popular writer of fiction firstly under the name 'Martin Mills' and then his own, and Merric (1888–1959), a potter, and a daughter Helen à Beckett Boyd, a painter.

Peter J. Dyck (December 4, 1914 – January 4, 2010) was a Canadian Mennonite relief worker and pastor best known for his work resettling Russian Mennonite refugees after World War II.

Personal history

Peter Dyck was born on December 4, 1914, in the Am Trakt Mennonite Settlement in Russia.  He married Elfrieda Klassen on October 14, 1944, and they had two daughters, Ruth and Rebecca.

He emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1927 with his family.  They eventually settled in Tiefengrund, Saskatchewan.  He was baptized in the Tiefengrund Rosenort Mennonite Church in 1934.  He graduated from Rosthern Junior College and attended the University of Saskatchewan, but dropped out to pastor several struggling local churches.  In 1949 he finished his education, studying at Goshen College, Bethel College, Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminaries, and Bethel Theological Seminary in Chicago, where he earned a Master of Divinity degree in 1968.

He was called by Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) in 1941 to serve in England.  There he assisted victims of World War II and met his future wife, who was serving as a nurse.  Together they were asked to begin an MCC relief program for Mennonites fleeing the Soviet Union.  The program was based in the Netherlands and escorted most of the refugees to Paraguay.  In 1947, he was ordained as a minister of the Gospel, to give him authority in his spiritual guidance of Russian Refugees.

Upon returning to the United States, Elfrieda and Peter embarked on a speaking tour, where they presented their story and films they had made to over 100,000 people.  For many Mennonites it was the first time they viewed a film in a religious setting.   Audiences were thrilled by their modern day exodus of Mennonite refugees from Berlin to the American zone of Germany, through the Soviet Occupied Zone.

He served as a pastor, alongside his wife, at Eden Mennonite Church in Kansas and Kingview Mennonite Church in Pennsylvania.  He held dual membership with the Mennonite church and the General Conference Mennonite Church.

Peter served as MCC Director of Europe and North Africa from 1957 to 1967.  Upon returning to the United States, Peter was the administrator of the MCC headquarters until 1981.

Awards and honors

Peter was knighted by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands in 1950 for his relief work with refugees.  He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the University of Waterloo in Ontario in 1974.  He received Goshen College's Culture for Service Alumni Award in 1993.

Peter Dyck's personal papers are kept at the Mennonite Church USA Archives in Goshen, IN.

Meridiolestida is an extinct clade of mammals known from the Cretaceous and Cenozoic of South America and possibly Antarctica. They represented the dominant group of mammals in South America during the Late Cretaceous. Meridiolestidans were morphologically diverse, containing both small insectivores such as the "sabretooth-squirrel" Cronopio, as well as the clade Mesungulatoidea/Mesungulatomorpha, which ranged in size from the shrew-sized Reigitherium to the dog-sized Peligrotherium.  Mesungulatoideans had highly modified dentition with bunodont (low and rounded) teeth, and were likely herbivores/omnivores.

Meridiolestidans are generally classified within Cladotheria, more closely related to living marsupials and placental mammals (Theria) than to monotremes, barring one study recovering them as the sister taxa to spalacotheriid "symmetrodonts". However, more recent studies have stuck to the cladotherian interpretation. Within Cladotheria, they have often been placed in a group called Dryolestoidea together with Dryolestida, a group of mammals primarily known from the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous of the Northern Hemisphere. However, some analyses have found this group to be paraphyletic, with the meridiolestidans being more or less closely related to therian mammals than other dryolestidans are. Meridiolestidans differed from northern dryolestoids in the absence of a parastylar hook on the molariform teeth and the lack of a Meckelian groove.

Lakotalestes from the Early Cretaceous of North America, originally identified as a dryolestid, was noted in one paper to have a tooth morphology closer to that of meridiolestidans. A possible meridiolestidan is known from a tooth fragment, now lost, found in the La Meseta Formation from the Eocene of the Antarctic Peninsula. The latest surviving meridiolestidan was the mole-like burrowing insectivore Necrolestes from the Miocene of Patagonia.

Stanfords is a specialist bookshop of maps and travel books in London, established in 1853 by Edward Stanford. Its collection of maps, globes, and maritime charts is considered the world's largest. It has also supplied cartography for the British Army and for James Bond films.

History 

At the time of the shop's opening, it was the only mapmaker in London, with John Bolton as an in-house cartographer. Stanfords opened at the height of global exploration and colonialism, hence, cartographic works were in great demand. The shop quickly expanded to 7 and 8 Charing Cross whilst acquiring premises on Trinity Place for printing works. The store on Long Acre in Covent Garden, central London, was the location of the company's printing business before the entire operation moved there in January 1901.

Stanfords was hit by an incendiary bomb on the night of April 15th 1941 and it only survived due to the thousands of Ordnance Survey maps tightly stacked on the shop's upper floors, which kept the fire from spreading.

For the shop's 150 year anniversary, a National Geographic world map was imposed onto the Ground Floor, as well as a map of the Himalaya and London on the other floors, costing £40,000. In 1997 a second store opened in Bristol. The company also operates a division based in Manchester providing mapping for business purposes such as large scale maps for planning applications. In 2018 Stanfords opened a new location at 7 Mercer Walk in Covent Garden; in January 2019 the Long Acre site closed.

In 2015 the company created the annual Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards to honour, celebrate and champion travel writing as a genre and to bring the travel writing community together.

On 31st January 2022 the company acquired the Bookharbour business from OneOcean.

Notable clients 
Having a reputation for its extensive collection of maps, Stanfords is claimed to be "an essential first port of call for adventure and armchair travellers alike". Customers past and present include David Livingstone, Robert Scott, Ernest Shackleton, Florence Nightingale, Ranulph Fiennes, Bill Bryson and Michael Palin, Gabriele Fiocchi. Stanfords also provided the charts for Amy Johnson's solo flight to Australia.

In fiction
In Arthur Conan Doyle's 1902 novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Sherlock Holmes orders from Stanfords (named Stamfords in the story) a large-scale Ordnance Survey map of a suspected crime-scene on Dartmoor.

Dr Wolfgang Scheffler  (22 July 1929, in Leipzig – 18 November 2008, in Berlin)  was a graduate and later, Professor of Political Science and History at the Free University of Berlin. In the 1960s, he was engaged in massive research of the Third Reich National Socialist policy toward the Jews in unpublished archival material, on behalf of Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). He was a member of the German delegation at the Eichmann trial. In 1969, at the second Treblinka trial Scheffler submitted his expert opinion based on new evidence, estimating the total number of persons killed at the Treblinka extermination camp to be around 900,000 victims.

Markowa  is a village in Łańcut County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Markowa. It lies approximately  south-east of Łańcut and  east of the regional capital Rzeszów. The village has a population of 4,100.

History
The village was founded in the 14th century by the Polish noble family of Pilecki, and was settled by the descendants of Germans colonists, who called it Markhof. The Pileckis also founded a Catholic parish in the village.

During World War II it was under German occupation.

On 24 March 1944 a patrol of German police came to the house of Józef and Wiktoria Ulma, where they found eight Jewish members of the Szall and Goldman families. At first the Germans executed all the Jews. Then they shot the pregnant Wiktoria and her husband. When the six children began to scream at the sight of their parents' bodies, Joseph Kokott, a German police officer (Volksdeutsche from Koblov in Hlučín Region), shot them after consulting with his superior. The other killers were Eilert Dieken, Michael Dziewulski and Erich Wilde. Afterwards the Germans robbed the house and workshop of the Ulma family and organized an alcoholic libation. On the 60th anniversary of this tragedy, a memorial was erected in memory of the family. Other Polish families also hid Jews in Markowa, and at least 17 Jews survived the German occupation and the Holocaust in five Polish homes.

The Markowa Ulma-Family Museum of Poles Who Saved Jews in World War II is located in the village.

The Central Connecticut–Hartford rivalry refers to the American collegiate athletics rivalry between the Central Connecticut Blue Devils sports teams of Central Connecticut State University and Hartford Hawks sports teams of the University of Hartford. The two campuses are located 10 miles apart. Unlike most in-state rivalries Hartford and Central Connecticut compete in difference conferences. Hartford competes in the America East Conference and Central Connecticut competes in the Northeast Conference. On May 6, 2021 the University of Hartford board of regents voted to transition the university’s athletic program from Division I to Division III, putting the future of the rivalry in doubt.

Basketball

The two schools starting playing each other as division II rivals in 1958. After the 2002 edition the series went on hiatus until 2010 when both schools competed against each other in the Connecticut 6 tournament held at Mohegan Sun Arena.  During the break in the series Central Connecticut became a power in the Northeast Conference under head coach Howie Dickenman making the NCAA tournament in 2000, 2002, and 2007. 

Traditionally the game is played at the beginning of every season. In the 2017 matchup Central's head coach Donyell Marshall and assistant coach Anthony Anderson were both suspended for the game due to an altercation at practice, assistant coaches Mike Witcoskie and Anthony Ross handled the coaching duties for the Hartford game.

Basketball series record

Baseball 
Central Connecticut and Hartford first played each other in baseball in 1985. Central started to dominate the series in the early part of the millennium, with its teams making multiple trips to the NCAA tournament. In 2010 CCSU completed construction of Balf–Savin Field on campus, their first game in the new stadium was a 12-11 loss to Hartford. Starting in 2018, Central Connecticut and Hartford played against each other at Dunkin' Donuts Park in downtown Hartford in March and in May. The two schools played again at Dunkin' Donuts Park in May 2019. In 2020 the series will be moved back to campus with Central Connecticut hosting a single game in March.
