Barran () is a commune in the Gers department in southwestern France.

Geography
Barran is located on the river Baïse  from the capital of the Gers department, Auch.

History
Barran is a typical example of a bastide, those villages that were erected in Gascony in the late Middle Ages. It was founded by the end of the 13th century. It is well known in the region for the very unusual helical shape of the tower of its church. Not in the village itself but still on the territory of the commune (the third largest of the department in surface area) are several interesting places, like the castle of Mazères, which was the summer residency of the bishops of Auch and then a military hospital during World War I. Close to the castle is the bridge of Mazères, which was built around the 16th century over the river Baïse. In the 19th century Barran was famous for its snails, from which special gums were made to prevent people from coughing.

Population

Before the migration movement from the countryside to the cities, Barran was quite populous, as was Gers, with up to 2,000 people on the eve of the First World War. Then the population began to fall dramatically, but the trend has changed since the beginning of the '90s: nowadays around 700 people live in the commune, making it the 24th out of 476 communes by population. All basic private and public services (e.g., doctor, grocery and bakery, school, post office, sport facilities) are to be found in the village.

The proximity of Auch, the capital of the department, and Toulouse, the regional capital, which is only  to the east, as well as the current migration trend toward Southern Europe, should boost the further development of Barran.

Hasteola suaveolens, known by the common names false Indian plantain and sweet scented Indian plantain, is a perennial forb native to the northeastern and north-central United States. It is found from Massachusetts south to Virginia and North Carolina, and west as far as Minnesota and Minnesota and Missouri.

Description

Hasteola suaveolens is a perennial  herb sometimes as much as 240 cm (8 feet) tall, hairless throughout, unbranched below the inflorescence. The spearhead shaped (hastate) leaves are  long and  wide with serrated (toothed) edges. The plant flowers in late summer or early fall. The inflorescence is one or several roughly flat topped clusters of several to many flower heads consisting entirely of 18–55 white or very pale yellow disc florets, but no ray florets. The fruit is a cypsela with a pappus of white bristles.

Distribution and habitat
Hasteola suaveolens has a native range that includes twenty-two states east and two states west of the Mississippi River, in eastern and central USA. It is listed as an endangered species in the states of Connecticut, Maryland, Minnesota and New York, it is listed as threatened in Iowa and Tennessee, and it is listed as historical in Rhode Island, meaning that it is presumed extirpated. Hasteola suaveolens is now less common or absent in the northern part of its range. There may be only one population left of this species in all of New England. In Virginia, it grows in habitats such as floodplain forests and riverbanks, along the Potomac, Shenandoah, and New rivers. The presence of this species is dependent on appropriate habitat, and it may be eliminated from an area by development, changes in land use, or competition with invasive species. In Minnesota the native habitat is wet meadows along stream banks and the edges of marshes but due to the loss of much these habitats it may be restricted to wet ditches.

Lewis Adolphus Bernays  (3 May 1831 – 22 August 1908) was a public servant and agricultural writer in Queensland, Australia.

Early life
Bernays was the son of Dr Adolphus Bernays (a brother of Chakam Isaac Bernays), a professor of German language and literature at King's College London, and his wife Martha, née Arrowsmith, and was born in London. He was educated at King's College, and at the age of nineteen, emigrated to New Zealand, where he engaged in sheep farming for two years.

In 1851 he married Mary Anne Eliza, daughter of William Borton.

Australia
Bernays went to Sydney in 1852 obtained a position on the staff of the parliament of New South Wales. In 1859 Sir George Bowen, the governor of Queensland had requested a clerk for the new Legislative Assembly of Queensland. Bernays was appointed and came to Brisbane in 1860, and was present at the opening of the first parliament. He organized the inner working of parliament, became an authority on procedure, and was the guide and friend of successive generations of members of parliament, until his death at Brisbane on 22 August 1908.

Bernays had other activities and was for a time secretary to the Brisbane Board of Water Works and later a member of the board.  

He was interested in economic botany, published The Olive and its Products (1872), and Cultural Industries for Queensland; Papers on the Cultivation of Useful Plants Suited to the Climate of Queensland (1883). 

Created a C.M.G. in 1892, Bernays was a very competent public servant, who played a prominent part in the Queensland parliament. He knew thoroughly its law and practice, and in times of difficulties party leaders naturally turned to him. He was a man of culture and remained a student all his life. One of his sons, Charles Arrowsmith Bernays, born in 1862, was the author of Queensland Politics During Sixty Years, and of Queensland—Our Seventh Political Decade.

Affiliations 
Bernays was on the committee of the Johnsonian Club in 1880, its second year of existence.

He was one of the founders of the Queensland Acclimatisation Society, and for a time its president.

Later life
Bernays died of heart failure on 22 August 1908 following a short illness and was survived by five sons and four daughters. Bernays is buried in Toowong Cemetery.

Legacy

In 1909, a bust of Bernays was commissioned from sculptor James Laurence Watts for the Queensland Parliament House.

The Cornwall Peaks () are two conspicuous rock peaks, the higher reaching , standing at the west side of König Glacier,  southwest of Fortuna Bay, South Georgia. The name Cornwall Peak was probably given by Discovery Investigations personnel during their survey of Fortuna Bay in 1929. During the South Georgia Survey, 1951–52, this peak could not be re-identified. At the same time it was reported that the features now described, although lying farther south, together form a conspicuous landmark requiring a name. The name Cornwall Peaks was recommended for these peaks by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1954, and the name "Cornwall Peak" (singular) has been eliminated.

The Painter of the Berlin Dancing Girl was an Apulian red-figure vase painter, who was active between 430–410 BC. He was named after a calyx krater in the collection of the Antikensammlung Berlin, which depicts a girl dancing to the aulos played by a seated woman.

As one of the first South Italian red-figure painters, he must have been educated in an Attic workshop. His name vase shows influences from the work of the Phiale Painter, who worked in Attica. He and his followers most likely had their workshops in Taras, which is Taranto today.

Works 

Other works attributed to him include:
 A krater located in the Rhode Island School of Design Museum. A Centauromachy is shown on the vase with Theseus or Herakles battling two centaurs.
 An amphora in the Museo Provinciale Sigismondo Castromediano in Lecce, Italy. It depicts Briseis and Achilles.
 The sole column crater attributed to this painter is in the collection of the Museo Camillo Leone in Vercelli, Italy. It shows the pursuit of Troilus by Achilles and is dated to 420–410 BC.
 A pelike in the National Gallery of Victoria showing an Amazonomachy scene.

Murray Leibbrandt is professor, NRF Chair in Poverty and Inequality Research - and Director of the Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit at the University of Cape Town. He is a South African academic economist studying labour markets, trends in inequality, and poverty in South Africa. He is a fellow at the IZA Institute of Labor Economics.

Education 

He received a Bachelors in Economics from Rhodes University in 1983. He then proceeded to University of Notre Dame, where he read for Masters and doctorate degrees, graduating in 1986 and 1993 respectively.

Academic career 

In 1999, Leibbrandt with his colleagues - Ingrid Woolard and Haroon Bhorat - conducted a series of studies intended to study the dynamics of inequality in South Africa up to that point. They show that race largely correlates with lower income and inequality, and the reliance of Gauteng, South Africa's economic hub, on migrant labour - to fill its chronic labour shortfall.

Leibbrandt is the Principal Investigator of South Africa’s national household panel survey, the National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) - which was first published in 2008.
