John W. Lloyd  was a Coxswain in the Union Navy and a Medal of Honor recipient for his actions in the American Civil War.

Medal of Honor citation
Rank and organization: Coxswain, U.S. Navy. Born. 1831, New York, N.Y. Accredited to: New York. G.O. No.: 45, December 31, 1864.

Citation:

Serving on board the U.S.S. Wyalusing during an attempt to destroy the rebel ram Albemarle in Roanoke River, 25 May 1864, Lloyd participated in this daring plan by swimming the Roanoke River heavily weighted with a line which was used for hauling torpedoes across. Thwarted by discovery just before the completion of the plan, Lloyd cut the torpedo guiding line to prevent detection of the plan by the enemy and again swam the river, narrowly escaping enemy musket fire and regaining the ship in safety.

Logo dispute with University of Arizona
In 2013, The University of Arizona contacted then principal, Martha Eagle, with a cease and desist order for use of the iconic, block 'A' logo. The school district had been using the block 'A' similar to University of Arizona's ever since the mid 1980s. The school board held a public contest for the design of the new logo. An eight grader won the contest and that design is now used as the official administrative and athletic 'A'.

Notable alumni

Nicaea (Ancient Greek: Νίκαια; ), was the spouse of Alexander of Corinth, and ruler of Corinth after his death. She was married to the future king Demetrius II of Macedon.

Nicaea married Alexander, tyrant of Corinth and governor of Euboea in circa 260 BC during the reign of Antigonus Gonatas. After the death of her husband in circa 245 BC, who was thought to have been poisoned by the command of Gonatas, Nicaea retained possession of the important fortress of Corinth.

Antigonus lulled her into security by offering her the hand of his son Demetrius in marriage, and took the opportunity during the nuptial festivities to surprise the citadel. She married Demetrius after her defeat, though her life after marriage is unknown.

She is probably the same person mentioned in the Suda (s.v. Euphorion) as patronising the poet Euphorion of Chalcis, though the compiler calls her husband only ruler of Euboea.

Stowford is a village and civil parish in the district of West Devon in the English county of Devon. It is situated to the west of Dartmoor. Stowford is about 1 mile west of the village of Lewdown and about 11 miles south-west of Okehampton in Devon and 7 miles east of Launceston in Cornwall. The parish is very rural, and includes the hamlet of Sprytown.

The parish church is dedicated to St John the Baptist and is around 14th-15th century in date. The church was restored and the north aisle rebuilt by Sir Gilbert Scott in 1874.

An ancient stone stands at the entrance to the churchyard. It stands 170 cm out of the ground, and contains an inscription dated to the 8th-11th century. The inscription reads "GUNGLEI" or "GUG.LES" and is thought to be a personal name.

The Harris Baronetcy, of Stowford, near Launceston, in the County of Devon, was created in the Baronetage of England on 1 December 1673 for Arthur Harris, Member of Parliament for Okehampton between 1671 and 1681. The Harris residence was at Hayne House in the parish of Stowford. The title became extinct on his death in 1686.

Windows Mobile 6.1 was a version of the Windows Mobile operating system, released on April 1, 2008. It is a minor upgrade to the Windows Mobile 6 platform with various performance enhancements and a redesigned Home screen featuring horizontal tiles that expand on clicking to display more information, although this new home screen is featured only on Windows Mobile Standard edition. This was not supported in the Professional edition. Several other changes such as threaded SMS, full page zooming in Internet Explorer and 'Domain Enroll' were also added, along with a "mobile" version of the Microsoft OneNote program and an interactive "Getting Started" wizard. Domain Enroll is functionality to connect the device to System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008, a product to manage mobile devices. The most apparent of the other differences is that the Standard version (like prior versions) still creates automatic links for telephone numbers in Tasks and Appointments, which allows for the easier click and dial of stored telephone numbers within these Outlook items. This feature is not supported in the Professional version. Windows Mobile 6.1 also had improved bandwidth efficiency in its push-email protocol "Activesync" of "up to 40.02%"; this considerably improved battery life in many devices.

Operating System 
Aside from the visual and feature distinctions, the underlying CE versions can be used to differentiate WM6.0 from WM 6.1. The version of Windows CE in WM 6.0 is 5.2.*, with the final number being a 4 digit build ID (e.g. 5.2.1622 on HTC Wing). In WM 6.1, the CE version is 5.2.* with a 5 digit build number (e.g. 5.2.19216 on Palm Treo 800w).

Banksia aurantia, commonly known as the orange dryandra, is a shrub that is endemic to Western Australia. It has underground stems, deeply divided leaves with 18 to 28 lobes on each sides, about eighty pale orange-pink flowers in each inflorescence, and egg-shaped follicles.

Description
Banksia aurantia is a prostrate shrub that has underground stems and reaches a height of . The leaves are  long and  wide and deeply divided with 18 to 28 tapering, linear lobes on each side and prominent veins on the lower surface. The inflorescence develops on the end of the stem, with about eighty flowers with hairy, rusty red, egg-shaped to lance-shaped bracts at the base, the perianth pale orange-pink and  long. Flowering occurs in April and the fruit is a broadly egg-shaped follicle  long and  wide.

Taxonomy
The orange dryandra was first described as Dryandra aurantia in 1996 by Alex George, who collected the type material with Margaret Pieroni on 26 April 1994 at Little Darkin Swamp southwest of York. CALM worker Len Talbot had discovered the species in 1991. It was transferred to the genus Banksia by Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele in 2007 when Dryandra was sunk into Banksia. Its species name is from the Latin aurantia "orange".

Distribution and habitat
All known populations of B. aurantia lie within Wandoo National Park, at Little Darkin Swamp southeast of York. The species grows on flat, seasonally wet, low-lying areas of grey or white sand. The habitat is open woodland, and associated species include Hakea prostrata, candlestick banksia (Banksia attenuata), holly pea (Jacksonia floribunda) and Melaleuca species.

Conservation status
Banksia aurantia has been declared critically endangered under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, and rare under Western Australia's Wildlife Conservation Act 1950. There are three extant populations located within an area of approximately 4.5 square km and covering less than 0.1 square km.

The South Bay Phalanx was a Fourierist community that was founded during early 1844 in Western New York alongside Lake Ontario. South Bay Phalanx was one of several Fourier-based communities that began in the United States. The location was that of an abandoned Shaker Community, which gave them a significant advantage in starting a utopian community. The land included a variety of fruit trees, a saw mill, community and residential buildings.

However, despite this advantage, the community eventually disbanded due to significant financial trouble. The financial trouble was caused by an influx of new residents from the Erie Canal area experiencing financial hardship, as well as the overly generous return on investment to residents. The large number of residents, many of which were characterized as lazy, only added to the quick spread of typhoid fever in 1844. The final crack in the society occurred when "evangelical Protestants and religious liberals" fought over the educational methods and curriculum. In April 1846, the remaining thirteen members officially dissolved the community, which at its height had over 264 members.

Alla Levashova  (22 March 1918 – 3 March 1974) was a Soviet fashion designer.

Biography
Alla Levashova was born in Moscow on 22 March 1918.  She graduated from the  Moscow Textile Institute in 1941. She later played an important role in establishing the department of fashion designers at this institute.
After completing her education, she joined at the Stanislavsky Moscow Opera and Drama Studio as a production designer. Later she moved to All-Union Model House, where she began a new career in fashion designing. 

In 1966 she became director for the newly created Special Designing Bureau (SKhKB) in the Ministry of Light Industry.  She established contact with number of popular fashion design houses in other countries including Christian Dior, and led the official Soviet delegation on visits.In Paris, she personally met the popular French designer Yves Saint Laurent, who was the artistic director of Christian Dior.

In her writings, she advocated the need for creating “clothes for everyone,” and emphasised on the importance of designing clothes for “broad masses.” Under her leadership, the Special Designing Bureau facilitated the production of  garments that were 
“inexpensive and accessible to ordinary people.”

Her fashion designing models reflected the combination of “elegance and simplicity.” She also actively promoted the “idea of central control of Soviet fashion industry” in which the local industries at different locations adopted the mass design solutions developed by an office at the federal level. 

She is being considered as “one of the Soviet Union’s leading fashion designers.”

She died in Moscow on 3 March 1974.

The California drought manipulation conspiracy theory is a conspiracy theory that proposes that the 2011–2017 drought was a deliberate, man-made phenomenon, created by weather modification. It is largely promoted by a number of self-proclaimed "independent researchers" and "scientists", and by alternative news outlets. The theory has been dismissed by the scientific community and mainstream media as fringe science or pseudoscience.

Key claims and components
The 2011–2017 drought inspired alarm among many, leading to the emergence of conspiracy theories purporting to explain the cause of a complex problem using oversimplified and non-evidence-based explanations.

Many of the proponents claim that chemtrails are used to affect storm clouds, in a manner of suppressing the development of precipitation. This would occur because of the presence of too many cloud condensation nuclei, or "cloud seeds", in a single area. Others say that technologies similar to HAARP (a federal ionospheric research program, which was decommissioned in 2015), are being used to create a large and stubborn high-pressure area over the West Coast of the United States. They claim that this, also, discourages storms and rainfall.

Dane Wigington and his group GeoEngineering Watch were the most visible proponent of this theory. Wigington said that government agencies and other entities have economic and geopolitical motivations to manipulate the weather on the West Coast and elsewhere.

Proponents have claimed credibility for the theory, in part, as a result of a Los Angeles County cloud seeding program, begun in early 2016. This reinforced their view that government continues to engage in weather modification and/or climate engineering.
