Baccharis vanessae is a rare California species of Baccharis known by the common name Encinitas baccharis. It is native primarily to San Diego County, California, almost endemic to the county except for one population a few miles over the county line in Riverside County. It is a member of the chaparral flora. It is a federally listed threatened species. It is present in several sites in Encinitas, and it is known from other parts of the county from the coastline to the mountains on various substrates. There are perhaps 15 populations remaining, for a total of about 2000 individuals. Some of the remaining occurrences are on land which may be cleared for development.

Description
Baccharis vanessae is a sticky, glandular shrub producing dense, branching, erect stems approaching 2 meters in maximum height. The leaves are linear and up to  long. This dioecious shrub produces male and female flower heads on different individuals. The fruit is an achene with a pappus up to a centimeter long.  Often found are elongated lepidopteran galls which Oscar Clarke of Riverside suggests indicates a very old relationship of evolution.

Conservation
Habitat destruction is a threat to the species. Fire suppression in the fire-prone chaparral habitat threaten those plants occurring near residential areas. Introduced species of plants have altered the local plant community. Some of the populations are very small, made up of just a few individuals, reducing their genetic viability.

The species name vanessae honors Vanessa Beth Beauchamp, first daughter of the botanist who first described the species and who is currently an Associate Professor of Biology at Towson University in Maryland.

Charlotte Amy May Kennedy became Charlotte Amy May Burbury (1832 – 14 November 1895) was a British educationist. She was the secretary of the London National Society for Women's Suffrage as well as serving as a governor of the first English hospital to train women doctors and an early day-school for girls. She also supported the committee of the Society for the Employment of Women.

Life 
Burbury was the first child of Janet and Benjamin Hall Kennedy  and she was the only one of her siblings not born at Shrewsbury School where her father became the headmaster at the school where was educated. She was born at The Grove at Harrow School. Her father was inspiring, but her mother was the organised one who managed the family's money. Her younger sister Marion was known as 'Maisie' within the family. She was baptised on 19 June 1832.

On 10 June 1852, she married William Burbury who was then teaching at her father's Shrewsbury School. They had no children and in 1861 her husband became the rector of West Felton. She employed herself as the secretary of the Cambridge Local Examinations Board for a decade.

Her husband died leaving the "living" in West Felton vacant and this job was taken on by her father. Meanwhile her younger sisters Marion and Julia who had stayed in the family home, moved to  Cambridge in 1867 with the family when her father became the Regius Professor of Greek.

In 1870 she joined the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women which had been founded in 1859.

In 1871 she became the London National Society for Women's Suffrage, secretary. This society is known today as the Fawcett Society because Millicent Fawcett was one of its early supporters.

In 1873 she stood as a candidate to become a member of the London school board (as women were allowed to stand for this public position), but she was not elected. From 1870 until her death, she was a member of the committee of the Society for the Employment of Women. She supported the first training of women doctors in England serving as a governor of the London School of Medicine for Women which opened in 1874.

The North London Collegiate School which had started in 1850 as a day school offering education to girls. Burbury also served as a governor of this venture.

Burbury died on 14 November 1895 in Richmond, leaving effects worth £5369 13s 2d.

Cedar Creek is a  stream in southeastern Wisconsin in the United States. The Cedar Creek watershed is a 330 km2 (127 mi2) sub-basin of the larger Milwaukee River watershed.

Description
Cedar Creek originates from Big Cedar Lake in the Town of West Bend and flows east into Little Cedar Lake. It then flows east through Jackson before turning south, crossing State Highway 60 where there is a USGS gauge and briefly flows through Grafton before entering Cedarburg's north side. The creek flows through downtown Cedarburg, and empties into the Milwaukee River southeast of Cedarburg in the Town of Grafton. The lower section through Cedarburg is notable for its the steep slope, and early settlers made use of this by building several mills and accompanying dams.

The lower portion of the creek through downtown Cedarburg until its confluence with the Milwaukee River is impacted by the milldams and PCB pollution produced by Mercury Marine and Amcast automotive. Numerous cleanups have occurred, including a 2018 cleanup from the Cedarburg Mill's pond to the Cedarburg Wire and Nail Factory dam was completed in 2018.

Mills 
Several mills dammed the lower portion of Cedar Creek in the mid and late 19th century. The mills proved successful and had large impacts on the local economy. By the early 20th century many of the mills had moved away from hydropower to more reliable steam or electric power. Financial trouble for the mills began during the Great Depression and continued into later decades as larger mills and factories outcompeted the small mills. By the late 1960s, all the mills had either ceased operations, and some buildings have been converted to commercial uses, while others were abandoned unused or demolished.

Flooding 
Cedar Creek is normally a small low discharge stream, however like many streams it experiences regular flooding. In 1881, a sudden spring melt caused severe flooding that washed out all the dams on Cedar Creek except the one at the Cedarburg Mill. The flood also washed away at least one bridge. Large floods occurred in 1952, 1959, 1960, and 1975. In 1996, flooding washed out the dam at the Concordia Mill. Its millpond contained PCBs, and the washout complicated the cleanup by sending PCBs downstream.

Donald "The Lamb" Lambert (February 12, 1904 – May 8, 1962) was an American jazz stride pianist born in Princeton, New Jersey, United States, perhaps best known for playing in Harlem night clubs throughout the 1920s. Lambert was taught piano by his mother but never learned to read music. With his particularly rapid left hand striding technique, he was a formidable opponent in cutting contests. On one occasion, Lambert challenged Art Tatum at a jazz concert where other famous players were present.

Lambert's discography is sparse: the only commercial recordings under his name were four titles made for RCA's Bluebird label in 1941, in which he interpreted classical themes: Richard Wagner's Pilgrim's Chorus from Tannhäuser, "Anitra's Dance" by Edvard Grieg, Gaetano Donizetti's Sextet from Lucia di Lammermoor, and Jules Massenet's Élégie. However, several compilations were released in the 1980s containing live recordings dating from 1959–62. Lambert appeared at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival, alongside Eubie Blake and Willie "The Lion" Smith and was said to have outplayed both of them.

His nicknames included the "Jersey Rocket", "The Lamb", "Muffin", and "The Lamb of God".

In control theory, the cross Gramian (, also referred to by ) is a Gramian matrix used to determine how controllable and observable a linear system is.

For the stable time-invariant linear system

the cross Gramian is defined as:

and thus also given by the solution to  the Sylvester equation:

This means the cross Gramian is not strictly a Gramian matrix, since it is generally neither positive semi-definite nor symmetric.

The triple  is controllable and observable, and hence minimal, if and only if the matrix  is nonsingular, (i.e.  has full rank, for any ).

If the associated system  is furthermore symmetric, such that there exists a transformation  with

then the absolute value of the eigenvalues of the cross Gramian equal Hankel singular values:

Thus the direct truncation of the Eigendecomposition of the cross Gramian allows model order reduction (see ) without a balancing procedure as opposed to balanced truncation.

The cross Gramian has also applications in decentralized control, sensitivity analysis, and the inverse scattering transform.

Ketton was a rural district in Rutland, England from 1894 to 1974, covering the east of the county.  The district was named after Ketton.

The rural district was formed by the Local Government Act 1894 from the part of the Stamford rural sanitary district in Rutland. At the same time, the remainder of Stamford RSD, which lay in Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and the Soke of Peterborough became Uffington Rural District, Easton on the Hill Rural District and Barnack Rural District respectively. The rural district council's offices remained in Stamford, Lincolnshire, outside the district.

In 1960 the Local Government Commission for England proposed the abolition of the county of Rutland. The bulk of the county was to become part of Leicestershire, with Ketton RD transferred to a greatly enlarged Cambridgeshire. The plans were not carried through, however and it was not until 1974 that the rural district was abolished by the Local Government Act 1972 and merged into a single Rutland district.

Parishes

The rural district consisted of nine civil parishes:

Clipsham
Essendine
Great Casterton
Ketton 
Little Casterton
Pickworth
Ryhall 
Tinwell 
Tixover

A monkey jacket is a waist length jacket tapering at the back to a point. Use of the term has been dated to the 1850s onwards.

As early as the 1790s sailors wore a broad collar, double-breasted, waist length roundabout style jacket, aka mustering jacket, that later became known as a "monkey jacket".

This roundabout style jacket was nicknamed "monkey jacket" after the monkeys that accompanied organ grinders. These street organ monkeys were trained to do tricks and collect coins as the grinder played music.  The jacket was not named because sailors climbed the rigging of sailing ships like monkeys.

The term is also used in the United Kingdom to describe a type of jacket worn in Mod subculture.

Jack Danckert (10 July 1922 – 26 January 2000) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1940s.

Danckert was a defender who was unable to put together regular appearances while at South Melbourne, never playing more than five games in a single season. He played as a half back flanker in the 1945 VFL Grand Final against Carlton, in what was just his ninth league appearance. The grand final, which South Melbourne lost, is referred to as being a "Bloodbath" and Danckert was one of the victims when he was felled by Carlton ruckman Rod McLean.

He didn't feature at all in the 1946 VFL season and played just four games in 1947. The following year he signed with Victorian Football Association (VFA) club Williamstown and was part of a swap for Reg Harley. Danckert made 64 appearances for the Seagulls in three seasons without kicking a goal. He was a back pocket defender in Williamstown's 1949 premiership team and won their "Best and Fairest" award in 1950. He was a VFA representative at the 1950 Brisbane Carnival. Danckert also played in Williamstown's losing 1948 grand final team but won a trophy for equal most effective player in 1948 and the most consistent player in 1949. He retired in 1951 due to his employment and then transferred to Tooronga in 1952

Danckert later joined the administration of the Mordialloc Football Club, and became one of its two delegates to the VFA Board of Management. Famously as delegate, Danckert was unable to attend the VFA meeting on 2 December 1960 to lodge Mordialloc's second vote against partitioning of the Association into two divisions, because his wife was expecting their child that night; the change was ultimately passed by exactly the three-quarters majority it required, and Danckert's vote (or that of a proxy, which the club failed to arrange) could have defeated the motion.

Walter Espec (died 1153) was a prominent military and judicial figure of the reign of Henry I of England. 

His father was probably William Speche (William Espec), who joined William the Conqueror in the Norman conquest of England. The senior Speche is believed to have become the feudal baron of Old Wardon by 1086.

In the years up to 1120, Espec controlled northern England, alongside Eustace fitz John. He was the builder of Helmsley Castle; he built also Wark Castle. As an old man, when High Sheriff of Yorkshire, he fought against the Scots at the Battle of the Standard in 1138. He was the founder of Kirkham Priory (Augustinians) and later Rievaulx Abbey (Cistercians). Kirkham Priory was founded around 1130. He then donated  to Rievaulx, where building started in 1132, and is largely credited for the arrival of the Cistercians in England. By 1135 he also founded Warden Abbey (Wardon) in Bedfordshire, a daughter house of Rievaulx. Walter Espec later became a Cistercian monk himself.
