The Mount Airy Forest, in Cincinnati, Ohio, was established in 1911.  It was one of the earliest, if not the first, urban reforestation project in the United States.  With nearly , it's the largest park in Cincinnati's park system.

History
The originally forested land was cleared for agricultural use in the 19th century, but years of poor grazing and agricultural practices led to severe erosion and poor soil composition.   As quoted in a 1914 Cincinnati Times-Star editorial, a farmer facetiously remarked that his farm (in Westwood) "was a good one when he first took it up but that since he had cleared off all the trees it had slid down the creek and was to be found somewhere in the neighborhood of New Orleans."

According to the National Park Service:
Established in 1911, the Mount Airy Forest covers an impressive 1459 acres and includes natural areas, planned landscapes, buildings, structures, and landscape features. The numerous hiking trails, bridle paths, walls, gardens, pedestrian bridges, and various other improvements within Mount Airy Forest reflect the ambitious park planning and development that took place in Cincinnati in the early-to-mid-20th century. Conceived as the nation's first urban reforestation project, the park has developed over the years—especially during the Depression and post-World War II period- into a park with a variety of areas, spaces and structures designed to accommodate recreational, social, and educational activities. Today it continues to offer a large expanse of protected land within the city limits where the public can enjoy the richness and diversity of nature.

In the largest reforestation program undertaken by a city seen until that time, the barren land was restored to a park largely in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The rustic CCC structures are still standing and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The park now includes 700 acres of reforested hardwoods, 200 acres of forested evergreens, 269 acres of wetlands, 170 acres of meadows, and a 120-acre arboretum. A wheelchair accessible treehouse was built in 2006.

The park was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on April 13, 2010. The listing was announced as the featured listing in the National Park Service's weekly list of April 23, 2010.

Amenities
The park offers hiking trails, an 18-hole disc golf course, and a  dog park.

57P/du Toit–Neujmin–Delporte is the designation of a periodic comet. It is a member of the Jupiter family of comets whose orbits and evolution are strongly influenced by the giant planet. In 2002 it was discovered to have broken up into at least 20 fragments. At the time of their discovery, these shed fragments were spread out along the orbital path subtending an angle of 27 arcminutes from the comet's surviving head.

Discovery 
The comet has many co-discoverers and a complicated discovery history due to unreliable communications during World War II. Daniel du Toit discovered the comet (retrospectively designated as P/1941 O1) on July 18, 1941, working at Boyden Station, South Africa. His cabled message about the comet did not reach his employer, Harvard College Observatory, until July 27. During a routine asteroid search, Grigory N. Neujmin (Simeis Observatory, Soviet Union) found the comet on a photographic plate exposed July 25. He confirmed his own observation on July 29, but the radiogram from Moscow took 20 days to reach Harvard. The official announcement of the new comet finally happened on August 20, 1941. A few days later, it became known that Eugène Joseph Delporte at the Royal Observatory, Belgium, also had found the comet on August 19, so he was added to the list of discoverers.

A few weeks later, news from Paul Ahnert at Sonneberg, Thuringia, Germany, reached Harvard that he also observed the new comet on July 22, but it was too late to recognize his contribution.

Fragment A was last observed in 2002.

Arthur William Reddie Becher (6 December 1842 – 25 March 1926) was an English first-class cricketer and an officer in the British Indian Army.

The son of the British Army General Sir Arthur Mitford Becher, he was born in British India at Allahabad in December 1842. He was commissioned into the Bengal Army as a cornet in December 1859, with promotion to lieutenant in January 1862. On a visit to England in 1872, Becher played a first-class cricket match for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Surrey at Lord's. Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 8 runs in the MCC first innings by William Marten, while in their second innings he was dismissed by Charles Hall for 5 runs. Returning to military duty, he was promoted to brevet captain in December 1871, with him gaining the rank in full in December the following year. Promotion to major followed in December 1879, with a further promotion to lieutenant colonel coming in December 1885. Becher retired from active service in March 1892. He died in England at Maida Vale in March 1926.

Cryptoteuthis brevibracchiata, the short-arm flapjack octopod, is a deepwater species of octopod. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Cryptoteuthis one of the cirrate octopuses of the family Opisthoteuthidae, the umbrella octopuses. It is known from a single specimen which was collected in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean. It has characteristics which are shared with two other genera in the Opisthoteuthidae,  Opisthoteuthis and Grimpoteuthis, but is sufficiently distinctive from either of these to warrant the erection of a new genus.

Description 
Cryptoteuthis brevibracchiata is a bell-shaped octopus with a semi-gelatinous, semi-transparent body, except for the dark tips of the oral web and the tips of the fins. The fins are small and round, and their length is equal to half the width of the head. It has short arms, each with a single row of small, broad suckers and with a double row of cirri which are of moderate length, with each cirrus just longer than the diameter of the suckers. The longest arm has 48 suckers and the web is around half the length of the arms. The eyes are laterally positioned and the optic nerve passes through the white body in a single bundle. There are no posterior salivary glands, radula or ink sac. The digestive gland is entire. It has a simple U-shaped shell. The gills have 7 primary lamellae. The mantle length 35 mm and the total length is 121mm.

Distribution and habitat
Cryptoteuthis brevibracchiata was described from a single specimen, an immature female, collected in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean near the Porcupine Seabight at 49°54 N, 12°21 W from a depth of between 2,274 and 2,300m, south west of Ireland. The habitat is unknown but this species is unlikely to be demersal and it shows adaptations which suggest that it may be a benthic species which a preference for soft substrates, like some related taxa, such as Grimpoteuthis.

Laszlo Birinyi Jr. (; September 20, 1943 – August 21, 2023) was an American investor, businessman, and the founder of Birinyi Associates, Inc. and Asset Management Arm.

Personal life
Laszlo Birinyi Jr. was born in Karcag, Hungary, in 1943. When he was seven, his family moved to the United States, settling in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1967, with a major in history, and earned an MBA from the New York University Graduate School of Business in 1975.

After Birinyi's first marriage ended in divorce, he married Jill Costelloe in 1986, and they had two daughters. Birinyi died from heart failure at his home in Southport, Connecticut, on August 21, 2023, at the age of 79.

Career
Birinyi started his career in the investment industry as a trader, and then worked at Salomon Brothers starting from 1976 as an equity researcher and market analyst, later being promoted to head of equity market analysis. In that position he constructed the Stock Week – a weekly commentary containing studies subjects such as fund flow, market structure, and volatility. He helped establish the Salomon-Russell International Index.

Birinyi Associates
Birinyi launched Birinyi Associates in 1989, following his departure from Salomon Brothers. While founder and director of the firm, he still worked for Deutsche Bank Securities as Global Trading Strategist from 1988 until 2002.

Through his work at Birinyi Associates, Inc., he established a stock market research firm that analyzes the psychology and history of the stock market and the actions of investors in order to predict stock trends. He often made contributions to Forbes (where he was also a columnist), Wall Street Journal, Barron's, BusinessWeek and Bloomberg Personal Finance.  He has appeared as a guest on CNBC and Bloomberg TV, and was also a panelist for Louis Rukeyser's Wall $treet Week. He continued to write investment analyses until days before his death.

Birinyi was the author of The Master Trader: Birinyi's Secrets to Understanding the Market (2013, ) and The Equity Desk – a book about stock market trading.

Philanthropic efforts
In 2001, Birinyi launched the Laszlo Birinyi Sr. Distinguished Professorship in Hungarian Culture at the University of North Carolina  in honor of his father. This $1 million endowment was "the first Hungarian culture professorship in the South, and it distinguishes Carolina as one of the few places in the United States where students may work with an expert in Hungarian studies."

Calcareous sinter is a freshwater calcium carbonate deposit, also known as calc-sinter. Deposits are characterised by low porosity and well-developed lamination, often forming crusts or sedimentary rock layers. Calcareous sinter should not be confused with siliceous sinter, which the term sinter more frequently refers to. It has been suggested that the term "sinter" should be restricted to siliceous spring deposits and be dropped for calcareous deposits entirely.

Features
Calcareous sinter is characterised by laminations of prismatic crystals growing perpendicular to the substrate; laminations are separated by thin layers of microcrystalline carbonate. Calcareous sinter is porous due to the calcareous crystals enclosing many small cavities. Macrophytes are absent, consequently porosity is very low. Exclusion of species is due either to high temperature (travertine), high pH/ionic strength (tufa) or absence of light (speleothems). 

Pedley (1990) suggests the term be abandoned in favour of tufa for ambient temperature deposits. This avoids any potential confusion with siliceous sinter and prevents deposits formed in different environmental conditions (hot spring deposits, cold spring deposits and speleothems are all lumped together under the term sinter) from being amalgamated into one group.

Geochemistry
Deposits are formed from either calcite or aragonite. Precipitation is brought about by degassing of CO2, which decreases the solubility of calcite/aragonite. (See tufa/geochemistry)

Notable deposits
 Pamukkale, Turkey – terraces of travertine.
 Mono Lake, California - towers of tufa.

Medieval extraction and use

The build-up of calc-sinter material in the Eifel Aqueduct was commercially exploited in the 11th and 12th centuries. With deposits up to  thick, the material was cut into vertical columns of polished brown rock with impressive layered patterns, which made it much in demand by cathedral builders across large parts of central Europe and beyond. In England it was used to provide polychromy, contrasting with the pale limestone favoured by Norman English Cathedrals. The stone was for many years known as 'Onyx Marble' despite being very obviously neither onyx nor marble. Those studying the stonework at Canterbury Cathedral were unaware of its origins in the aqueduct until 2011. Such large-scale use as the cloisters around a cathedral quadrangle needed many hundreds of columns, which must have been supplied by a well-organised extraction and transport operation. The Eifel deposits, have also been identified at Rochester and in the now lost Romanesque cloister at Norwich as well as the Infirmary Cloister, Chapter House windows, Anselm Chapel door and the Treasury gateway at Canterbury.

ExpressCache is a Windows-based SSD caching technology developed by Condusiv Technologies and licensed to a number of laptop manufacturers including Acer, ASUS, Samsung, Sony, Lenovo, and Fujitsu. ExpressCache is also bundled with some SanDisk products such as ReadyCache; SanDisk currently holds an exclusive ExpressCache license for stand-alone storage products.

A test by PC Pro of the 2011-launched Samsung 700Z, which included an 8 GB SSD and a 7200 rpm hard drive, showed a reduction of five seconds in boot time with Windows 7, when ExpressCache was enabled. Another vendor's demo at Computex 2011, involving a laptop also equipped with an 8 GB SDD, showed a boot-time reduction of about ten seconds.

A test by CDRLabs of a stand-alone 32 GB SanDisk ReadyCache product, which was added to a quad-core desktop (Core i5-2400 CPU) equipped with a 7200 rpm hard drive, found a reduction in boot time from 25 down to 14 seconds, but found no significant improvements in random read/write tests.  Another similar test of a 32 GB ReadyCache product, conducted by HardOCP, found a reduction in boot time from 52 down to 13 seconds.  Yet another test by Expert Reviews found a boot time reduction from 48 down to 35 seconds.

A criticism against ExpressCache in PC Pro was that it "isn't very configurable. You can't, for instance, install an application of your choosing there."  PC World France noted that the ExpressCache software bundled with ReadyCache has a limit of three computers on which it can be activated; their reviewer also expressed dismay at SanDisk's choice of using MLC flash on a caching product.

Bombay Reef (, ) is an atoll of the Paracel Islands. In Chinese, the reef is alternatively known as "Pengbojiao" (), or "Qilianyu" (literally "7 key lago") along with six other islands close by.

Geography

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's Sailing Directions describes Bombay Reef as "the southeasternmost known danger of the Paracel Islands, a steep-to reef 10 miles long E and W that surrounds a rock-strewn lagoon."

A lighthouse is located on the south-west end of the reef. It was built by the French in 1980.

History 
In the early hours of 20 December 1946, en route from Hong Kong to Singapore for decommissioning, HMS Aire ran aground on Bombay Reef. She was spotted by chance, three days later, by the passing  and the 85 crew, amongst them the ship's dog, were rescued with no serious casualties. As a , HMS Aire was sister ship to the famous superyacht .

In early May 1967 the  steel sailing schooner Dante Deo, with six men and a six-year-old boy on board, was wrecked on Bombay Reef. The crew were rescued on 5 May 1967 by an amphibious aircraft operated by the 37th Air Rescue Squadron.

Bombay Reef is the site of numerous other shipwrecks, at least one of which is visible above water and on radar from 15 miles away.

Territorial claims  

Lacking a native population, ownership of the Paracel Islands has been disputed since the early 20th century. In the aftermath of the First Indochina War until 1974 Vietnam occupied Pattle Island, approximately  away. Control has been enforced by the People's Republic of China since the Battle of the Paracel Islands.

Bombay Reef is administered and governed by the People's Republic of China and patrolled by the Chinese border police.
