Thomas-Jean-Jacques Loranger,  (February 2, 1823 – August 18, 1885) was a Quebec judge and political figure.

He was born in Yamachiche in Lower Canada in 1823. He studied at the Séminaire de Nicolet, then articled in law with Antoine Polette and was called to the bar in 1844. Loranger first practiced at Trois-Rivières, later joined the office of Lewis Thomas Drummond in Montreal and, in 1858, opened an office with his brothers Louis-Onésime and Jean-Marie. He was named Queen's Counsel in 1854. Loranger was elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada for Laprairie in 1854; he was reelected in 1857. He served on the Executive Council as secretary for Canada East. He opposed the idea of a double majority, where legislation must be approved by a majority of the representatives from both provinces, but believed that legislation affecting one province should be approved by a majority in that province. He supported Montreal as a capital and opposed the choice of Ottawa; this led to the resignation of the government of John A. Macdonald and George-Étienne Cartier in 1858. Loranger continued as a member in the legislature until he was named judge in the Quebec Superior Court in 1863. In 1873, he published the first volume of Commentaire sur le Code civil du Bas-Canada, a discussion of the civil code of Quebec; a second volume was published in 1879 but the work was never completed. He also contributed articles to legal journals of the time. In 1877, he was named to head a commission to codify the general statutes of Quebec. Loranger retired in 1879 and became professor at the Université Laval. In 1883 and 1884, he published a two volume work on the federal constitution.

He died in Sainte-Pétronille in 1885 and was buried in the Côte-des-Neiges cemetery in Montreal.

Garrick Mallery (April 17, 1784 – July 6, 1866) was an American jurist and politician.

Mallery was born in Woodbury, Connecticut.  He graduated from Yale College in 1808. For some time after graduation he was principal of the Academy at Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, where he read law with Mr. Wells. He also attended the Litchfield Law School and was admitted to practice at Wilkes Barre, in 1811.

In 1827 he was elected to the Legislature of Pennsylvania, without party nomination, and was reelected in 1828, 1829 and 1830. From his position as Chairman of the respective Committees, he was largely instrumental in establishing the General Improvement and Penitentiary systems of Pennsylvania. In 1831 he was appointed by Governor George Wolf, President Judge of the Third Judicial District of that State, which position he resigned in 1836, and in November of the same year removed to Philadelphia, to resume the active practice of law.  In this he was eminently successful. For several years past he held the office of Master in Chancery for the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
 
Judge Mallery was at the time of his death the oldest practicing member of the bar of Philadelphia.   To such an extent did he retain his vigor, that only six weeks before his death he conducted a most important and hotly contested jury trial, lasting more than a week. He received in 1840 the degree of LL. D. from Lafayette College.

He died in Philadelphia, Pa., July 6, 1866, aged 82 years.  He married three times and left four children, including ethnologist Garrick Mallery.

Judge Keith Hilary Pursuivant is a fictional character and a supporting character in a series of stories (1938–41) by American author Manly Wade Wellman (1903–1986). Pursuivant is a retired judge, author, and occult scholar who investigates mysterious supernatural events.

Fictional character biography
Pursuivant is more a mentor to and helper of characters who have become embroiled in occult adventures than a hero per se.  He first appears in the short story "The Hairy Ones Shall Dance," first published in 1938 in the weird-fiction pulp magazine Weird Tales.  Pursuivant is described as a man of great height and girth, with bulbous eyes and nose and a drooping blonde moustache.  He lives in a small town five hours from Washington, D.C., and is sufficiently wealthy to be attended by a manservant.  He is intelligent and well-read in occult matters.  A biography of Pursuivant is presented in the short story "The Black Drama," which presents him as having been born in 1891, retired in 1919, had studied at Yale and Oxford, and was decorated while serving in U.S. intelligence during World War I.

Until he passed it on to Wellman's later character, John Thunstone, Judge Pursuivant possessed a sword-cane with a silver blade said to have been forged by Saint Dunstan.  The blade is inscribed with a text from Judges chapter 5 in the Vulgate, "Sic pereant omnes inimici tui" – "thus perish all your enemies".  The sword-cane, which was especially potent against vampires, werewolves and other supernatural creatures, was passed on when Pursuivant's advanced age made him too weak to effectively wield it.

Although referred to in several stories, Judge Pursuivant only actually appeared in four short stories or novellas by Wellman: "The Hairy Ones Shall Dance" (1938), "The Black Drama" (1938), "The Dreadful Rabbits" (1940), and "The Half Haunted" (1941) – all originally published in Weird Tales – and as a supporting character in Wellman's 1982 Silver John novel The Hanging Stones and the John Thunstone novel The School of Darkness.  All Wellman's Judge Pursuivant short stories have been collected in Lonely Vigils, and later in Fearful Rock and Other Precarious Locales, Night Shade Books (2001).

Judge Pursuivant also appears as a supporting character in the story "Chastel", not collected in the above volume but in volume one of that series (Third Cry to Legba and other Invocations), originally published in The Year's Best Horror Stories VII (1979).

Judge Pursuivant and his book, "The Unknown that Terrifies" is mentioned in "The Poltergeist of Swan Uppin", a short story of Jules de Grandin by Seabury Quinn.

"Let It Go" is a song recorded by American country music artist George Strait. Strait co-wrote it with his son Bubba Strait and Keith Gattis. It was released April 20, 2015, as the lead-off single from his 28th studio album Cold Beer Conversation.

Critical reception
Taste of Country gave the song a positive review, stating that the song "works to sever all emotional ties that often leave one bound up and anxious" and that Strait's "mellow voice serves this easy-to-embrace country song well." He also favorably compared it to Strait's own "The Seashores of Old Mexico" and Kenny Chesney songs from the early 2000s.

The Duke of Bedford's vole (Proedromys bedfordi) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. After the Liangshan vole was removed from this genus, the Duke of Bedford's vole became the only member of the genus Proedromys. It is found only in mountainous parts of central China. It is a rare species and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being "vulnerable".

Description
The Duke of Bedford's vole has a head-and-body length of between  and a tail length of . The dorsal fur is long and a dull shade of mid-brown, the underparts are whitish-grey. The upper surface of both fore and hind feet is whitish, and the tail is bicoloured, being brown above and whitish below. The skull is robust, the broad incisors are recurved and have grooves on their outer surfaces, and the molars have no roots and continue to grow throughout the animal's life.

Distribution and habitat
The Duke of Bedford's vole is a rare species and is known from only three localities in China; two of these are in southern Gansu Province and northern Sichuan Province, and the third is the Jiuzhaigou National Nature Reserve, where the vole was discovered for the first time in 2003. It is a forest dweller and has been found at elevations between . It is also known from fossilised remains and appears to have been more plentiful in the Pleistocene age than it is now.

Status
Very little is known of this vole, the size of the total population, the population trend and the area of occupancy. Its extent of occurrence is probably under . The main threat it faces is the destruction of its mountain habitat by logging or conversion to cropland. Because of its small area of occurrence and these other factors, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the vole's conservation status as being "vulnerable".

The Brielse Meer ("Lake Den Briel") is a long, narrow lake between the Dutch estuary islands of Voorne and Rozenburg in the province of South Holland.

The lake takes its name from Den Briel, a town on its shore. It was formerly a branch of the Meuse known as Brielse Maas (Den Briel Meuse), which ran from the Botlek strait near Rotterdam into the North Sea. The first stretch, between Botlek and the former confluence with the Het Scheur branch, was alternatively known as (the last stretch of) Nieuwe Maas.

When the Brielse Maas silted up in the late nineteenth century, the Nieuwe Waterweg ship canal was constructed (1872) and Het Scheur was separated from the Brielse Maas by a dam. As a precursor to the Delta Works sea barrier constructions, the Brielse Maas was closed off at both ends in 1950, becoming the Brielse Meer.

The Reuben Lamprey Homestead is a historic house at 416 Winnacunnet Road in Hampton, New Hampshire. Built in the 1770s, the property is the best-preserved colonial-era farm complex in the town. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

Description and history
The Reuben Lamprey Homestead is located on the north side of Winnacunnet Road, a busy east–west through road, between Presidential Circle and Nathaniel Way. The main house is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, center chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is symmetrical, with five bays, and is simply trimmed except for the centered entrance. That is flanked by sidelight windows and recessed paneled pilasters, and is topped by a seven-light transom window and entablature. Extending to the rear of the main block are two ells, both now of 20th-century origin. A timber-framed barn stands beyond and to the right of the house.

The main house was built in the 1770s by Reuben Lamprey, descendant of one of the area's early settlers. The house, and the accompanying period barn, have seen only relatively modest alterations since their construction. The principal alterations have been the replacement of the ells, and repair work on the barn, which partially collapsed due to neglect in the 20th century. It was restored and used for a time as a well-known local antique shop. The property was sold out of the Lamprey family in 1881.

In the domain of digital audio, a control surface is a human interface device (HID) which allows the user to control a digital audio workstation or other digital audio application.  Generally, a control surface will contain one or more controls that can be assigned to parameters in the software, allowing tactile control of the software. As digital audio software is complex and can play any number of functions in the audio chain, control surfaces can be used to control many aspects of music production, including virtual instruments, samplers, signal processors, mixers, DJ software, and music sequencers.

Since control surfaces are designed to perform different functions, they vary widely in size, shape and number and type of controls. A basic control surface for mixing resembles a traditional analogue mixing console, featuring faders, knobs (rotary encoders), and buttons that can be assigned to parameters in the software. Other control surfaces are designed to give a musician control over the sequencer while recording, and thus provide transport controls (remote control of record, playback and song position). Control surfaces are often incorporated into MIDI controllers to give the musician more control over an instrument. Control surfaces with motorized faders can read and write mix automation.

The control surface connects to the host computer via many different interfaces. MIDI was the first major interface created for this purpose, although many devices now use USB, FireWire, or Ethernet.

Examples
 Smart AV Tango - A hybrid controller with a 22" touch screen, compatible with major DAWs for MAC & PC.
 M-Audio ProjectMix - Control surface that can control many different applications.
 Mackie Control - Serves a similar purpose as the ProjectMix.

Cao Ju ( 220s – early 260s) was an imperial prince of the state of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period of China.

Life
Cao Ju was a son of Cao Cao, a warlord who rose to prominence towards the end of the Han dynasty and laid the foundation for the Cao Wei state. His mother was Lady Huan (環氏), a concubine of Cao Cao. He had two full brothers: Cao Chong (elder) and Cao Yu (younger).

In 211, Cao Ju was enfeoffed as the "Marquis of Fanyang" (范陽侯) by Emperor Xian, the figurehead emperor of the Han dynasty under Cao Cao's control. In 217, his title was changed to "Marquis of Wan" (宛侯).

In 220, following Cao Cao's death, Cao Ju's half-brother Cao Pi usurped the throne from Emperor Xian, ended the Han dynasty, and established the Cao Wei state with himself as the new emperor. Cao Pi first enfeoffed Cao Ju as a duke in 221, but promoted him to a prince under the title "Prince of Zhangling" (章陵王) in 222. Later in 222, he changed Cao Ju's title to "Prince of Yiyang" (義陽王). Sometime between 222 and 224, he changed Cao Ju's title to "Prince of Pengcheng" (彭城王) and relocated him to Pengcheng (彭城; around present-day Xuzhou, Jiangsu), where Cao Ju's mother Lady Huan was living. Later, he changed Cao Ju's title to "Prince of Jiyin" (濟陰王). In 224, Cao Pi issued an edict to reform the nobility system by reducing the sizes of princedoms from commanderies to counties. Cao Ju's title was thus changed to "Prince of Dingtao (County)" (定陶王).

In 232, after Cao Rui (Cao Pi's successor) restored the nobility system to the previous one, Cao Ju became the "Prince of Pengcheng (Commandery/State)" (彭城王) again. In 237, Cao Ju had 2,000 taxable households removed from his princedom as punishment after he was found guilty of ordering the manufacture of restricted items. Cao Rui also issued an imperial edict to reprimand Cao Ju for his conduct. The 2,000 taxable households were returned to him in 239.

Throughout the reigns of the subsequent Wei emperors (Cao Fang and Cao Huan), the number of taxable households in Cao Ju's princedom increased until it reached 4,600.

Family
Cao Ju had at least three sons. One of them, Cao Cong (曹琮), was designated as the heir of Cao Ju's elder brother Cao Chong, because Cao Chong died early and had no son to succeed him. The other two, Cao Fan (曹範) and Cao Chan (曹闡), were consecutively designated as the heirs of Cao Zizheng, a half-brother of Cao Ju, because Cao Zizheng too died early and had no son to succeed him.
