Sir John Norman Keates Whitford (24 June 1913 – 5 November 2001) was a British barrister and judge. An intellectual property specialist, he was a High Court judge, sitting in the Chancery Division, from 1970 to 1988.

Biography 
The son of Harry Whitford and Ella Mary Keates, John Whitford (known to family and friends as "Jack") was educated at University College School, Munich University, and Peterhouse, Cambridge, where he was the president of the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club.

Whitford was called to the Bar by the Inner Temple in 1935 and was the pupil of Tom Denning (later Lord Denning). A member of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, Whitford was called up immediately upon the outbreak of the Second World War, and was assigned to work on the radar. He was sent to the Middle East, then Crete, where he had to destroy his AMES during the Battle of Crete. He was evacuated with the rest of the RAF contingent on HMS Orion. Promoted to the rank of Wing Commander in 1942, Whitford was appointed chief radar officer and deputy chief signals officer at Air Headquarters, Eastern Mediterranean. He was subsequently posted to the British Embassy in Washington D.C. in 1944, where he advised on patents and wartime information exchange and cooperation.

On demobilization, Whitford returned to the Bar and joined the Middle Temple ad eundem because of the devastation the Inner Temple suffered from bombing; he became a Bencher of the Middle Temple in 1970. He decided to specialise in patents, and joined the chambers of George Lloyd-Jacob, later the first specialist patents judge. He became a Queen's Counsel in 1965. From 1968 to 1970 he was a member of the Bar Council.

In 1970, he was appointed a Justice of the High Court, and received the customary knighthood. He was assigned to the Chancery Division to deal with the patent business. From 1974 to 1976, he was chairman of the departmental committee on the law relating to copyright and designs, whose report is usually referred to as the Whitford report.

Although he had a reputation for bonhomie at the Bar, where he was nicknamed "Jolly Jack", on the bench Whitford was said to be "often bored and short-tempered", He had difficulty assessing the credibility of witnesses, was said to be prone to take a dislike against a party and to jump to conclusions on that basis, and was sometime rude to counsel. He retired from judicial service in 1988.

Whitford married Rosemary Barcham Green in 1946; she was the widow of a close Cambridge friend who had been killed as a RAF pilot on active service. They had four daughters.

The Bornean clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi borneensis) is a subspecies of the Sunda clouded leopard. It is native to the island of Borneo, and differs from the Batu-Sumatran clouded leopard in the shape and frequency of spots, as well as in cranio-mandibular and dental characters. In 2017, the Cat Classification Taskforce of the Cat Specialist Group recognized the validity of this subspecies.

Habitat and distribution 
In Kalimantan, it was recorded in Sabangau National Park.

In northern Sarawak, it was recorded in mixed dipterocarp forest outside a protected area at elevations of .

In Sabah, it was recorded in Danum Valley Conservation Area, Ulu Segama, Malua and Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserves, Tabin Wildlife Reserve and the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary.

Ecology 
Results of a camera-trapping survey revealed that it is largely nocturnal. A radio-collared female had a home range of around  in 109 days.

Evolution 
The Bornean clouded leopard is estimated to have diverged from the Sumatran clouded leopard in the Late Pleistocene, between 400 and 120 thousand years ago. Land bridges that were created due to low sea levels in the Late Pleistocene were submerged by rising sea levels, resulting in the Bornean clouded leopard becoming separated from the mainland population at this time. It was recognized as its own subspecies in 2007 following an analysis of the genetic substructure of the Bornean and Sumatran clouded leopards, which concluded that there was enough genetic variation to recognize the Sumatran Neofelis diardi diardi and the Bornean Neofelis diardi borneensis as two different subspecies.

Preservation & Threats 
Bornean cloud leopards are considered vulnerable, similar to other Neofelis species, due to anthropogenic disturbances such as deforestation, illegal poaching, and hunting pressure.

The settlement is located  away from Poltava Kyivska railway station.

History

Ancient history
Dykanka was first mentioned in 1658 as a small village, though the area was populated for centuries before. Within the area of modern Dykanka, traces exist of Scythian settlement at various times.

Medieval history
In 1430, the Dykanka area came under the ownership of Tatar Murza Leksada Mansurksanovych, the future Prince Alexander Glinski, and, according to Leo Padalka and other pre-revolutionary (before 1917) historians, Dykanka was among his ″settlements″.

Modern history
Dykanka has held the status of urban-type settlement since 1957.

Culture
Dykanka is the location of the short story collection Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka by Nikolai Gogol. The tale of St John's Eve, concerning the family of the Church Sexton, inspired Mussorgsky's tone poem Night on the Bare Mountain.

Pterostylis curta, commonly known as the blunt greenhood, is a species of orchid found in south-eastern Australia, Lord Howe Island and New Caledonia. It has a rosette of leaves at its base and a single white and green, forward leaning flower with a brown tip and a twisted labellum.

Description
Pterostylis curta has a rosette of between two and six egg-shaped to elliptic leaves, each leaf  long and  wide. The leaves are dark green, have a distinct petiole and sometimes a wavy edge. A single white and green flower with a brown tip is borne on a flowering spike  high, the flower leaning forwards. The flowers are  long,  wide. The dorsal sepal and petals are fused to form a hood or "galea" over the column. The dorsal sepal and petals are a similar length and end in a blunt tip. There is a wide gap at each side of the flower between the petals and lateral sepals. The lateral sepals are erect, about the same length as the galea,  long and there is a broad V-shaped sinus between them. The labellum is  long,  wide, brown, twisted to one side and just visible above the sinus. Flowering occurs from July to October.

Taxonomy and naming
Pterostylis curta was first described in 1810 by Robert Brown and the description was published in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen.

Distribution and habitat
The blunt greenhood is widespread and common in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, growing in moist places in heath, scrub, woodland and forest. It also occurs on Lord Howe Island and in New Caledonia but is rare in South Australia.

Use in horticulture
Pterostylis curta has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. It is easily grown in pots containing a free-draining, sandy mix. The plants require regular watering during their growing period, to be kept dry during dormancy and to be repotted annually.

The Western Kentucky Railway  was a shortline railroad in Kentucky, that connected coal mines with CSX Transportation at Providence. The lines were part of the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad until March 1982, when Costain Coal, Inc. bought the trackage and set up the Tradewater Railway  to operate it. In January 1995, the Rail Management and Consulting Corporation acquired the property and transferred it to the new Western Kentucky Railway. Genesee & Wyoming Inc. acquired it from the Rail Management Corporation in 2005. In 2010, WKRL abandoned all of its remaining lines north of Providence, and the rails were removed shortly after. The only remaining tracks that were originally owned by WKRL are operated by Martin Marrieta Aggregates' Fredonia Valley Railroad from Princeton to Fredonia.

When created in 1995, the Western Kentucky Railway owned lines from Providence to a junction at Blackford, and from Blackford north to Waverly and south to the Paducah and Louisville Railway at Princeton. Most of the north–south line, once the main line of the Ohio Valley Railway (an Illinois Central Railroad predecessor) was abandoned in 1995 and 1996, leaving only the piece between Blackford and Dekoven. (The Fredonia Valley Railroad later acquired the section from Princeton to Fredonia.)The rest of the line was then abandoned in 2010 and removed from Providence to Wheatcroft and the surrounding mines.

Air Apparent is the thirty-first book of the Xanth series by Piers Anthony, which was first mentioned in the "Author's Note" in Currant Events. Piers Anthony stated that notions from his readers have already been set aside for use in this installment in the same "Author's Note."

Plot introduction

Piers Anthony has stated that the book is set as a murder mystery. It has, typical for Xanth books, many puns. Readers also get a better understanding of the nature of Ida's moons.  Air Apparent includes a character known as a Debra who is a 13-year-old girl who is constantly pressured to take off her bra.  To De-Bra so to speak.  She is based on a real girl. Debra Kawaguchi was a huge fan of the Xanth series and after her death in 2004, her father wrote Piers and asked him to include Debra in his cast of characters. After Piers explained to Debra's father that the only way he could think to include Debra in the book was through the De-Bra-ing pun, Mr. Kawaguchi agreed that Debra would have been delighted to be a character in Xanth and would have loved the pun. Piers mentions Mr. Kawaguchi in the author notes as the inspiration for Debra.  Debra is depicted on the front cover of the hardback book as a flying centaur.

Review 

"The Xanth books constitute Anthony's longest and most successful series . . . . They are intended to be kind-spirited, fun reading, a series of wondrous beasts and beings, and most of all, an endless succession of outrageous puns"—Lee Killough, Wichita Eagle

Budapest Nyugati station (; ), generally referred to simply as Nyugati, is one of the three main railway terminals in Budapest, Hungary. The station is on the Pest side of Budapest, accessible by the 4 and 6 tramline and the M3 metro line.

Layout
The station is a stub-end terminal, with the tracks exiting to the northeast. There are nine platforms serving seventeen tracks. There is a metro station beneath the railway station; buses and trams are accessed at street level.

History

The station was planned by August de Serres and was built by the Eiffel Company. It was opened on 28 October 1877. It replaced a previous station, which was the terminus of Hungary's first railway line, the Pest–Vác line (constructed in 1846). This building was pulled down in order to construct the Grand Boulevard.

The station gave its name to the adjacent Western Square ('Nyugati tér'), a major intersection where Teréz körút (Theresia Boulevard), Szent István körút (Saint Stephen Boulevard), Váci út (Váci Avenue), and Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út (Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Avenue) converge. The square also serves as a transport hub with several bus routes, tram routes 4 and 6, and a station on M3 of the Budapest Metro.

Since 2007 Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) has operated regular services between the terminal and Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport Terminal 1, although Terminal 1 has been closed since 2012 and all departures and arrivals have been consolidated in Terminal 2A and 2B, which is 4 kilometers away.

Beside the terminal and partially above its open area there is the WestEnd City Center shopping mall. Inside the station is a McDonald's restaurant which has been described as the "most elegant" McDonald's in the world.

The music video for Gwen Stefani's 2008 single Early Winter was partly shot at Nyugati.
Starting in May 2016 the key scenes of the movie Terminal were shot over 27 nights.
