Agnes-Françoise Le Louchier (1660-1717), was the royal mistress of Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria from 1694 until 1717. She also served as the spy of Bavaria at the French court.

Biography
Agnès-Françoise Lelouchier was the daughter of Jean François Le Louchier, Seigneur de Popuelles and his wife Charlotte d' Aubermont. A member of the Flemish nobility, she became the lover of Maximilian II Emanuel when he was the governor of the Spanish Netherlands. She accompanied him to Bavaria in 1694, when he married his second spouse, Theresa Kunegunda Sobieska, while she herself married the Bavarian officer count Ferdinand von Arco. After the wedding, they returned to Brussels. She had a son with Maximilian, named Emanuel-François-Joseph (1695-1747), who was later legitimized by his father. In 1700, the electress wished to separate from the elector because of this affair but managed to reconcile. The same year, the elector and electress returned to Bavaria. Le Louchier was given an assignment as a spy by the elector and sent to Paris to make use of political connections in favour of Bavarian interests. She succeeded with her task and was rewarded with a life pension. She lived with Maximilian during his exile from 1704 to 1715 until he met his wife again on 8 April 1715.

The City of Keilor was a local government area about  northwest of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The city covered an area of , and existed from 1863 until 1994.

History

Keilor was first incorporated as a road district on 3 March 1863. It became a shire on 22 December 1871, and was proclaimed a city on 29 April 1961. Its boundaries were relatively stable throughout its existence, however, parts of Essendon North were transferred to the City of Essendon in 1993.

On 15 July 1975, after a number of years of factional infighting, the council was suspended.

On 15 December 1994, the City of Keilor was abolished, and its area divided by the Maribyrnong River and the Albion-Jacana freight railway line; its eastern section was merged with the City of Essendon, to form the newly created City of Moonee Valley, while its western section was merged with parts of the City of Sunshine, including St Albans, to form the newly created City of Brimbank. Melbourne Airport and a small section of Tullamarine, north of Sharps Road, were transferred to the newly created City of Hume.

Wards

The City of Keilor was divided into three wards, each electing three councillors:

 Doutta Galla-Tullamarine Ward
 Maribyrnong Ward
 Niddrie Ward

James Craik (31 August 1806 – 9 June 1882) was a noted preacher, author, lawyer, and amateur architect. He  was born on August 31, 1806, in Alexandria, Virginia, to George Washington Craik, secretary to President George Washington during his second term, and Maria Tucker. He was the grandson of Dr. James Craik, President George Washington's physician. He married Juliet Shrewsbury and had eleven children.

Law practice

He studied medicine briefly at Transylvania College before switching to law with the encouragement of the college president, Dr. Holley.  and practiced law in Charleston, WV, where he built Elm Grove, now called the Craik-Patton House. Along with his law partner Ezra Walker, who was also the editor of the “Kanawha Banner” newspaper, Craik would argue cases in the counties of Kanawha, Logan, Mason, and Cabell. Craik lived in a portion of land, five hundred acres, inherited from his grandfather briefly while Elm Grove was under construction. It was during Craik's ten years of practicing law and studying theology that he eventually decided to do church work.

Priestly duties and written works 
Craik became a deacon of the Episcopal church in 1839. He became a priest at St. John's Church in Charleston, WV, in 1841. In 1844 he moved to Louisville, Ky to serve at Christ Church. He sold his property in Charleston to local lawyer, Isaac Read. While living in Louisville he built another house this one he sentimentally named "Kanawha" after the valley in which Elm Grove was located. He and his family moved into this house in early 1850.

Craik wrote extensively on theology. His two best remembered works are Old and New and The Divine Life. In addition to these works being used as textbooks for church schools he was also widely renowned as a preacher. He was a founder of the Orphanage of the Good Shepherd. He held the position of President of the House of Deputies of the General Convention in the Episcopal Church from 1862 to 1874 in addition to his responsibilities within his own diocese. He was noted to have been involved in a number of charities and to have had a great appreciation for devotional music.

Later years and death 
In his waning years he spoke before the Kentucky Legislature in favor of staying in the Union. He remained serving Christ Church at Louisville, Ky until he died on June 9, 1882, from illness. After his passing one of his sons, Charles, took over his position at Christ Church.

Christian Wilhelm Rynning-Tønnesen (born 18 June 1959) is a Norwegian businessperson. He has spent most of his career in Statkraft, first holding various positions from 1992 to 2005, and then as CEO since 2010. He was CEO of  Norske Skog from 2006 to 2010.

Career
Rynning-Tønnesen was born in Oslo, and grew up in Kristiansand and Bergen. His father Carl M. Rynning-Tønnesen and grandfather were both prominent chiefs of police in Kristiansand, but Rynning-Tønnesen is educated as a civil engineer at the Norwegian Institute of Technology. He started his professional career as a researcher at SINTEF, worked with product development in the company Esso Norway from 1985 to 1989, and then as a consultant at McKinsey & Company from 1989 to 1992.

In 1992 he was hired in Statkraft. He held various positions in the leadership, the common denominator being a relation to strategy, the market and finance. He became acting chief executive officer in 2003, and was vice president of finance in 2005. On 1 April 2005 he was appointed as chief financial officer in the company Norske Skogindustrier. Among others, he worked with the much-discussed discontinuation of the paper mill Norske Skog Union.

On 20 February 2006 it was announced that Rynning-Tønnesen had been hired as CEO of the Statkraft-owned, Kristiansand-based power company Agder Energi. He was headhunted, and did not apply for the job. Chair of Agder Energi Sigmund Kroslid, who had taken the position in December 2005, praised Rynning-Tønnesen as "the clear primary candidate of the board". Stavanger Aftenblad noted that the new CEO did not want to negotiate a golden parachute. It was unclear when Rynning-Tønnesen would actually assume the position, but in early June he visited Agder Energi for preparations. However, the next week he declined the position to become CEO of Norske Skog. He had been offered the position in Norske Skog behind the scenes.

Jan Oksum, who in February 2006 "regretted" that Rynning-Tønnesen left Norske Skog, was fired due to poor results. The poor results continued under Rynning-Tønnesen, due to downward international trends and sinking demand of paper. From February to November 2007 the Oslo Stock Exchange value of Norske Skog plummeted with 20%. In 2008 the activity at Norske Skog Follum was lowered amid continued losses. Nonetheless, in 2008 he received an award for leadership, the "European CEO of the Year for the pulp and paper industry", from the information company RISI.

Rynning-Tønnesen assumed the office as CEO of Statkraft in the summer of 2010, and kept his annual salary of . This was 0.4 million more than the person he succeeded as CEO of Statkraft, Bård Mikkelsen, earned. It was the highest salary for a leader in a state-owned company in Norway.

In 2019, Rynning-Tønnesen received the Excellence in Sustainability Award from the Centre for Responsible Leadership.

Personal life
Rynning-Tønnesen lives at Jar in Bærum, near Ringstabekk. He has a wife and four children.

Jacaranda caerulea (boxwood or cancertree) is a flowering tree belonging to the genus Jacaranda. It is native to the West Indies, in Cuba, Hispaniola (the Dominican Republic and Haiti) and the Bahamas.

Description
Jacaranda caerula was described in 1805 by French naturalist Jean Henri Jaume Saint-Hilaire. It grows up to  in height and has 40 cm long, bipinnate leaves each with 8 to 26 pinna.

The flowers are purplish blue in colour with a tubular shape, being narrower towards the base and larger at the tip. They measure 3.5 to 4 cm long and 1 to 1.4 cm wide at the mouth. It flowers intermittently throughout spring and summer, rather than having one big bloom during spring.

Distribution
The tree is native to the Bahamas, Hispaniola, and Cuba, but can also be found in Florida where it was introduced for landscaping purposes. It most commonly found in limestone areas between sea level and 300m.

Uses
The leaves are used in some places for their antiseptic properties. In the Bahamas, decoctions are made from the dried leaves and used as an alternative treatment for a variety of skin complaints, including skin cancer. In Cuba, decoctions of leafy branches are used to treat eczema and acne.

Esbensen Bay is a small bay  southwest of Nattriss Head, along the southeast end of South Georgia. It was charted by the Second German Antarctic Expedition, 1911–12, under Filchner, and was named for Captain Viktor Esbensen, manager of the Compañía Argentina de Pesca whaling station at Grytviken, the first land-based whaling station in Antarctica.

The southwest side of the entrance is marked by Shannon Point (), charted in 1930 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the William Scoresby. It was named for Lieutenant Commander R.L.V. Shannon, Royal Navy, captain of the ship at the time of the survey.

The Baffle Creek is a creek in Central Queensland, Australia.

Course and features
The Baffle Creek rises near Arthurs Seat in the Eurimbula State Forest and just south of the Eurimbula National Park in the Great Dividing Range. The  creek flows initially southward, hemmed to the west by the Westwood Range and to the east by Mount Dromedary. The creek continues south crossed by the Bruce Highway just east of Miriam Vale and then turns south east forming braided channels near Sonoma and hemmed to the east by the Gwynne Range resulting in the formation of one named island, Grants Island. It then is crossed by the Bruce Highway again and turns east under Mount Maria then north and flows through the Mouth of Baffle Creek Conservation Park and finally discharges into the Coral Sea south of Rules Beach and northeast of Winfield. At its mouth the creek again forms an anabranch around Long Island. 

The catchment area of the creek occupies an  of which an area of  is composed of estuarine wetlands.

Etymology
The creek was named in the 1850s by the pastoralist and politician, William Henry Walsh, during an expedition led by him to track an Aboriginal raiding party into the bush. The footprints of the raiders disappeared in the dense bush along the creek banks leading the party unable to follow them further and leading Walsh to name the creek as Baffle Creek.

In organic chemistry, a xylylene (sometimes quinone-dimethide) is any of the constitutional isomers having the formula C6H4(CH2)2.   These compounds are related to the corresponding quinones and quinone methides by replacement of the oxygen atoms by CH2 groups. ortho- and para-xylylene are best known, although neither is stable in solid or liquid form. The meta form is a diradical. Certain substituted derivatives of xylylenes are however highly stable, such as tetracyanoquinodimethane and the xylylene dichlorides.

p-Xylylene
p-Xylylene forms upon pyrolysis of p-xylene or, more readily, the α-substituted derivatives.   p-Xylylene dimerizes with moderate efficiency to give p-cyclophane:

Further heating of the p-cyclophane gives poly(para-xylylene).

o-Xylylenes
o-Xylylenes (o-quinodimethanes) are often generated in situ, e.g., by the pyrolysis of the corresponding sulfone. Another method involves 1,4-elimination of ortho benzylic silanes. or stannanes, 

α,α'-ortho Xylene dibromides have been well developed for generating o-xylyenes. For example, reaction of tetrabromo-o-xylene (C6H4(CHBr2)2) with sodium iodide affords α,α'-dibromo-o-xylylene, which can be trapped to give naphthylene derivatives. In the absence of trapping agents, the xylylene relaxes to α,α'-dibromobenzocyclobutane:
C6H4(CHBr2)2  +  2 NaI → C6H4(=CHBr)2  +  2 NaBr  +  I2
C6H4(=CHBr)2 → C6H4(CHBr)2
Cycloadditions of these o-xylylenes provides a pathway to acenes.

The diene unit formed by the two exocyclic alkene units of the ortho isomer can serve as a ligand in coordination complexes. For example, reaction of α,α'-dibromo-o-xylene with iron carbonyls affords low yields of the xylylene complex Fe(CO)3[η4-C6H4(CH2)2]. This product is structurally analogous to Fe(CO)3[η4-1,3-butadiene].

At high temperatures, benzocyclobutenes undergo electrocyclic ring-opening to form o-xylylenes. This and other syntheses of o-xylylenes, and their subsequent dimerization by [4+4] cycloaddition to form cycloctyl structures, were used repeatedly in the synthesis of superphane.

Electronic structure
Despite the observed chemistry of para-xylylene (i.e. its rapid polymerization to poly-p-xylylene), which suggests the compound exists as a diradical, physical evidence unanimously concludes that the lowest electronic state of p-xylylene is a closed shell singlet. Additionally, several computational methods confirm this assignment. Conversely, meta-xylylene is a non-Kekulé molecule that has a triplet ground-state.

Fort Risban is a fort in Calais, France, located on the coast on the Avenue Raymond Poincaré at the port entrance. In English medieval accounts it is Risbanke or Risbank.

History
The existence of the fort was first mentioned when Calais was besieged by the English in November 1346. Edward III of England's troops, finding the defences of Calais impenetrable, decided to erect a small fort to prevent any supplies reaching the town by sea, with a view to starving the inhabitants into submission. Under the English occupation the wooden tower was replaced by a stone structure, the Stone Tower, after 1400 renamed Lancaster Tower, a name often given to the fort itself. 

Fort Risban was used by the English forces until 1558 when Calais was recaptured by France. In 1596, the fort was captured by the Spanish Netherlands until May 1598 when it was returned to the French following the Treaty of Vervins. It was rebuilt in 1640. Vauban, who visited the fort some time in the 1680s, described it as "a home for owls, and place to hold the Sabbath" rather than a fortification and let the fortress be altered. In the 19th century the Engineers Corps altered it again. The sea-fortress was dismantled in 1908 but fortified again during World War II, when it served as an air-raid shelter.
