Finn is a fictional pagan warlock eco-terrorist created by Pat Mills. He first appeared in British fortnightly anthology comic Crisis in 1989 in the strip Third World War and later moved to an eponymous series in 2000 AD after Crisis was cancelled in 1991.

Publication history
The character was popular but the series ended in 1996. According to David Bishop the reason the character was suspended was due to concerns that he was in danger of duplicating the appeal of Mills's Sláine. Mills has speculated that part of the reason was because some readers were complaining in the letters page about Finn "being a sinister witch and saying his authentic pagan practices were a bad example to readers".

Plot summary
Finn is the alias of Paul Phillips. In Third World War it is established that Paul was once a soldier in the British Army stationed in Northern Ireland, but he deserted to become Finn, an eco-terrorist fighting to save the planet from multi-national corporations. Third World War began as a relatively realistic story set in 2000, with very little in the way of fantasy or science fiction elements, but that changed as Finn became more prominent.

In the eponymous strip in 2000 AD it emerged that the leaders of the corporations were in fact a secret society of powerful aliens called Newts. In this strip Finn was a mini-cab driver in Plymouth by day, and a white witch fighting the aliens by night. He used military equipment alongside magical items such as the Hand of Glory.

Bibliography
He first appeared as a supporting character in the series Third World War in the comics magazine Crisis; then in the eponymous strip in 2000 AD:

The Butler's frogfish or blackspot anglerfish, Tathicarpus butleri, is a rare species of frogfish in the family Antennariidae. The only member of its genus, this species is the most derived member of its family and represents a separate lineage from all other frogfishes, leading to some consideration of it being placed in its own family. It is found off the southern coast of New Guinea, and along the coasts of Western Australia to 33° S latitude, the Northern Territory, and Queensland to 22° S latitude. A benthic species, it inhabits inshore tropical waters and coral reefs to a maximum depth of , though most are found shallower than . Its specific epithet is after its discoverer Dr. Graham Butler.

This species reaches a maximum length of . It has a stout, laterally compressed body with a large head longer than deep. Like other anglerfishes, the first dorsal fin ray is modified into a lure for attracting prey. The illicium ("fishing rod") of the Butler's frogfish is very long, measuring 24-47% the standard length, and lacks dermal spines. At the tip is a distinct esca ("fishing lure") that may measure 22% the standard length, consisting of a thin, broad appendage covered with hair-like filaments and bearing 1-2 dark spots at the base. The mouth is protrusible, with many slender, sharp teeth on the jaws, vomer, and palatines. The dorsal and anal fins are tall, containing 10-11 and 7 fin rays respectively; the caudal fin is long and contains 9 rays.

The Butler's frogfish has unusually long and "arm-like" pectoral fin lobes, which unlike other frogfish are largely detached from the sides of the body. Its genus name Tathicarpus, meaning "extending wrist", refers to this trait. The fish uses these pectoral fins to clamber along the sea bottom. The number of pectoral fin rays is reduced (6-7 as opposed to 8 or more in other frogfish), and the Butler's frogfish can move each ray individually like "fingers" to steady itself or to hold on to objects. The pelvic fins contain 5 rays each and are placed beneath the body. The skin is densely covered with bifurcate spinules; there are also varying numbers of large, fringed filaments over the head and body. The coloration ranges from pale gray to greenish to brown, with darker markings. The fin membranes are thin and translucent.

Luuk Tinbergen (7 September 1915, in The Hague – 1 September 1955, in Groningen) was a Dutch ornithologist and ecologist.

Tinbergen was the youngest of three eminent brothers — both Jan and Nikolaas won Nobel Prizes, for economics and physiology or medicine, respectively.

He was appointed in 1949 by Gerard Baerends to the University of Groningen, where he developed important concepts in ethology.  He was influenced to specialize in ethology by ethologist brother Niko with whom he was very close, but he also was influenced by Jan to introduce a level of quantitative analysis not previously utilized in ethology.  Tinbergen committed suicide in 1955 at the age of 39.  Tijs Tinbergen, his elder son, is a nature film director (imdb), whose 1994 film Gebiologeerd ("mesmerised") is a homage to his father . Tinbergen's younger son, Joost Tinbergen, is also a biologist.

Marcel Louis Forhan (alias Yram) (November 1884 – 1 October 1927) was a French electrical engineer who specialized in the electrical installations of trams and TSF stations and an occult writer. He owes his notoriety to a metaphysical trilogy published in many countries.

Early life 

Marcel Louis Forhan was born on November 17, 1884 in Corbeil-Essonnes, France. Son of Louis Forhan and Céline Berthelot, he had a brother, Julien, and two sisters, Marcelline and Léa.

Career
He worked as an electrical engineer for the French company of tramways and electric lighting which sent him to settle, shortly before the First World War, in the French concession of Shanghai.  This was in order to install an important power station there, which provided electricity on which French Trams depended. He also participated in the installation of TSF broadcasting stations.

Occultism

His books relate experiences lived outside the physical body using a technique named astral projection. The deductions he reaches found in his eyes a new paradigm, perhaps utopian, capable of creating a more equitable society which would no longer fear the advent of death and act in a philanthropic way.

Some of its themes are common (but not specific) to Theosophy (the notion of karma, astral body, successive higher planes and spiritual evolution) and to representative authors such as Arthur Edward Powell.

His books describe several out of body experiences.

Personal life and death
His fiancée, Suzanne Garbe (Born February 4, 1892, Guise), joined him in China from Egypt where she lived with her mother. They got married on August 17, 1914, in Shanghai. In China, they had three children, Max (born in 1915), Marcel-André (born in 1919) and Robert (born in 1920).

In 1927, he contracted dysentery which developed into sepsis. Forhan died on October 1, 1927 in Shanghai.

The fraternal myotis (Myotis frater) is a species of vesper bat native to East Asia.

Taxonomy 
The long-tailed myotis (M. longicaudatus) was split as a distinct species by a 2015 study based on molecular evidence. This has also been followed by the American Society of Mammalogists, the IUCN Red List, and the ITIS. Phylogenetic evidence supports the reddish myotis (M. soror) of Taiwan being the sister species to M. frater.

Description 
An adult fraternal myotis has a body length of about 5 cm, a tail of about 4.5 cm, and a wing span of about 3.8 cm.

Distribution
The species is found throughout China and Taiwan. Bats that could potentially belong to this species have also been collected in Uttarkhand, India, but their taxonomy remains unresolved.

Status 
There are no major threats to this species, although it may be threatened by roadkill in Taiwan. It may be sensitive to climate change, but this was based on the old classification that included M. longicaudatus within the species, and thus this remains unconfirmed.

The Faucher River is a tributary of Tessier Lake (Gouin Reservoir) located on the southwestern side of the Gouin Reservoir. This river runs in the town of La Tuque, in the administrative region of Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada.

The Faucher River flows successively into the townships of Buies, Provancher and Faucher. Forestry is the main economic activity of this valley; recreational tourism activities, secondly thanks to the Canadian National Railway which passes on the south shore of Tessier Lake (Gouin Reservoir) and on the South shore of Lac Duchamp where the village of Clova, Quebec.

The route 404, connecting the village of Clova, Quebec to the South Bay of Bureau Lake (Gouin Reservoir) serves the south of Lake Duchamp and the West of Tessier Lake (Gouin Reservoir); this road connects to the south-east the road 400 which goes to Gouin Dam. Some secondary forest roads are in use nearby for forestry and recreational tourism activities.

The surface of the Faucher River is usually frozen from mid-November to the end of April, however, safe ice circulation is generally from early December to late March.

Geography

Toponymy 
The term "Faucher" refers to a family name of French origin. In this sector, the term "Faucher" is associated with the township, the lake and the river.

The toponym "Faucher River" was formalized on December 5, 1968 at the Commission de toponymie du Québec, when it was created.

Kráľovičove Kračany (, ) is a village and municipality in the Dunajská Streda District in the Trnava Region of south-west Slovakia.

Geography
The municipality lies at an altitude of 117 metres and covers an area of 13.279 km².

History
In the 9th century, the territory of Kráľovičove Kračany became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1215 when King Andrew II of Hungary upon request of the archbishop of Esztergom acquitted a certain Zida, Algo, Bucha és Paul from the service at the Pozsony Castle and ordered them for the service of the archbishop together with their village recorded as „Corcha”. The name is recorded in 1349 as "Kyralfaia"”, while in 1353 as "Keralifiakarcha". The name means in Hungarian "Karcsa of the King’s son". According to the tradition, the inhabitants of the village were the descendants of the Korczán clan.

Until the end of World War I, it was part of Hungary and fell within the Dunaszerdahely district of Pozsony County. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovakian troops occupied the area. After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia. In November 1938, the First Vienna Award granted the area to Hungary which held it until 1945. After Soviet occupation in 1945, Czechoslovakian administration returned and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia in 1947.

Demography 
At the 2001 Census the recorded population of the village was 967 while an end-2008 estimate by the Statistical Office had the villages's population as 1028. As of 2001, 90.18% of its population was Hungarian and 8.69% Slovak. Roman Catholicism is the majority religion of the village, its adherents numbering 89.45% of the total population.

Colegio Italo-Venezolano Angelo De Marta is an Italian private school in Puerto La Cruz (Venezuela).

Data

The Colegio Angelo De Marta has nearly one thousand students. It is located in the metropolitan area "Puerto la Cruz-Barcelona" that has more than a million inhabitants, of which nearly 50000 are Italians and/or their descendants. It is the second most important Italo-venezuelan school in Venezuela.

The school is an italo-venezuelan unidad educativa and has "kinder", "elementary" and "bachelor" (or high school) sections, where the Italian language lessons are mandatory.

History

On October 12, 1956, they began the activities in Venezuela the Italian School "Angelo De Marta", with the vision of keeping alive the Italian language for the Italian future generations grown in Venezuelan territory.

Subsequently, on November 25, 1959, a philanthropic group of Italian entrepreneurs of Venezuela began the construction of campus facilities, supported by Mr. Angelo De Marta, consul of Italy at the time, who donated the land where now are the headquarters of the institution. Initially the school was only in Italian language, but in the late 1960s started to be bilingual. Later was created the Unidad Educativa Colegio Italovenezolano Angelo De Marta, that actually has courses of Italian language even for relatives of students.

The first graduation of the College Italo-Venezolano "Angelo De Marta" was held on September 25, 1971, with the graduation of 29 bachelors of Science and 10 in Humanities. Recently there were the celebrations of the 59th years of existence of the Colegio De Marta

Gorham station is a former Grand Trunk Railway station in Gorham, New Hampshire, United States. It was built in 1907, long after the arrival of the railroad in 1851.

History 

The St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad was chartered in Maine on February 10, 1845. Montreal businessmen obtained a charter for the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad on March 17, 1845. Together, the two companies proposed to construct a railroad between Montreal and Portland across the province of Quebec and the states of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. 

Directors of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad broke ground in Portland on July 4, 1846. It took until July 22, 1851, for construction to allow the first train to enter Gorham, New Hampshire, which represented over  of track. The arrival of the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad in 1851 had a profound and lasting impact upon this part of the Androscoggin Valley. Suddenly, other White Mountain towns that had enjoyed the bulk of the fast-growing tourist trade found their stagecoach connections eclipsed by Gorham and its railroad. Tourists from the East Coast and Canada flocked to the railroad-owned White Mountain Station House (later known as the Alpine House), to the nearby Glen House, the summit of Mount Washington, and other scenic spots. 

Construction resumed and reached the town of Northumberland, New Hampshire, on July 12, 1852, passing through the new Berlin station en route. Meanwhile, the St. Lawrence & Atlantic built southeastward from Montreal, and the two companies had agreed on August 4, 1851, to join at the town of Island Pond, Vermont. The first regularly scheduled through train between Montreal and Portland operated on April 4, 1853. Meanwhile, the directors had negotiated the joining of the two railroads between Portland and Montreal into the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada, which they accomplished through a 999-year lease dated August 5, 1853, but retroactive to July 1, 1853, roughly three months after completion of the through railway. 

The Grand Trunk Railway, which later became known as the Canadian National and, more recently, the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad, opened the area to tourist trade, which is now the principal industry of the community. At first, Gorham, midway between Montreal and Portland, was a major rail yard and repair center, but, gradually the significance of Gorham to the GTR diminished, as did the importance of the railroads to the country. 
 
In 1973, the existing railroad station (built in 1907) was saved from destruction by the Gorham Historical Society. The architecturally unique building, contains displays on area and railroad history. The GHS continually works to expand museum exhibits about the railroads, tourism, the forest products industry and its residents.

Teams in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) retire jersey numbers of players who either are considered by the team to have made significant contributions to that team's success, or who have experienced untimely deaths during their playing career. As with other leagues, once a team retires a player's jersey number, it never issues the number to any other player, unless the player or team explicitly allows it.

History 
Since NCAA teams began retiring numbers, many players have had their jersey number retired. Pittsburgh has the most retired numbers of the team with 10. Unlike professional leagues, no one player has had his number retired by two teams.

Unlike major sports leagues in the United States such as MLB (which retired Jackie Robinson's number 42) and the NHL (which did so for Wayne Gretzky's 99), the NCAA has never retired a jersey number league-wide in honor of anyone. 

Nevertheless, there are some cases of retirement of a same number honoring two different players, such as Houston, which retired number 7 worn by David Klingler and Case Keenum, among other similar cases.
 
Moreover, Michigan retired a number for three players, the #11 in honor of the Wistert brothers. The same did Brigham Young University (BYU), retiring number 6 for three different footballers, Marc Wilson, Robbie Bosco, and Luke Staley. 

Since 2005, Syracuse holds the record of players honored with a number retirement after the University retired no. 44 worn by 25 different players between 1921 and 1998.

There are also some strange cases such as UCLA retiring #42 for Jackie Robinson although he worn no. 28 as a footballer at the institution; however, the school chose to retire No. 42 because it was more identified with him after Robinson wore that number throughout his Hall of Fame baseball career with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Michael F. Crommie (born December 1961) is an American physicist, a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley. World-renowned for his research on condensed-matter physics, he is a recipient of both the Newcomb-Cleveland Prize and the Davisson–Germer Prize in Atomic Physics. Crommie currently directs the Crommie Research Group.

Education
Crommie completed his undergraduate studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, earning a bachelor's degree in 1984.  He completed his doctoral studies under Alex Zettl at UC Berkeley, receiving a Ph.D. in 1991, and was a postdoctoral fellow at IBM under Don Eigler. In 2007 he was elected as a fellow of the American Physical Society.

Research
Crommie's research group currently uses scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy.  Crommie is known for demonstrating the quantum corral in 1993 with Lutz and Eigler by using an elliptical ring of cobalt atoms on a copper surface. The ferromagnetic cobalt atoms reflected the surface electrons of the copper inside the ring into a wave pattern, as predicted by the theory of quantum mechanics.
