George Speke (1623–1689) was an English politician. A Royalist during the English Civil War, after the Restoration of Charles II he became an early Whig supporter in Parliament.

Life
Speke was from Whitelackington, near Ilminster in Somerset; his parents were George Speke, and Joan, daughter of Sir John Portman. He became a ward of Sir Robert Pye, and later married his daughter.

Speke gave financial support to Prince Rupert at Bridgwater; and when the town surrendered to Thomas Fairfax in July 1645 he was taken as a hostage and his goods sequestrated. Before the end of 1645 he was transferred from the Tower of London to the Gatehouse Prison. He pleaded compulsion as his motive for joining the king's party, and poverty as a reason for the reduction of his fine. He eventually compounded for £2,390, and was released on payment of the sum in May 1646.

He lived quietly, serving in 1661–1662 as High Sheriff of Somerset until, in August 1679, he was elected M.P. for Somerset. At the same time his third son John was returned for Ilchester. Parting company with old allies (the Courtenays, the Seymours, and the Portmans) he now threw himself into the politics of the country party, joined the Green Ribbon Club, and voted for the Exclusion Bill of 1680. He extended a brilliant reception to the Duke of Monmouth at Whitelackington, during his progress in November 1681. He was alleged to have said that he would assist the cause of Monmouth in military fashion, should the need arise. After the Rye House Plot, Whitelackington was searched for arms, without result.

A heavy fine was imposed on Speke for having, it was alleged, created a riot in rescuing his son-in-law John Trenchard from the custody of a messenger in June 1685. In May 1689 he petitioned in vain for the remission of the fine; Robert Cotton opposed him.

Speke died soon after the Glorious Revolution.

Family
He married Mary, daughter of Sir Robert Pye; she was a nonconformist and politically active. His switch from Royalist to Whig political views has been attributed to her. Their youngest daughter Philip  married John Trenchard. There were nine children of the marriage, of whom five became political followers of their parents; they included Hugh Speke. The fourth son, Charles, was executed after Monmouth's Rebellion; the rest of the family were pardoned after a payment of £5,000.

From George Speke's younger brother, William, was descended the explorer John Hanning Speke

Diplacus pygmaeus is a species of monkeyflower (Family Phrymaceae) known by the common name Egg Lake monkeyflower.

Distribution and habitat
It is native to northeastern California and adjacent sections of Oregon, where it grows in sagebrush and wet, open habitat in scrub, forest, and woodland. Once thought to be extremely rare and vulnerable, the plant is actually locally common in areas where the soil has been recently disturbed, allowing a probably large seed bank to germinate.

Despite its annual population sometimes running into the millions, the plant is threatened when large-scale disturbances occur.

Description
This is a petite annual herb forming dense tufts often just a few millimeters high. The lightly hairy oval or widely lance-shaped leaves are up to 1.5 centimeters long. The yellow flower is no more than a centimeter long, its tubular base encapsulated in a hairy calyx of sepals.

Prune and search is a method of solving optimization problems suggested by Nimrod Megiddo in 1983.

The basic idea of the method is a recursive procedure in which at each step the input size is reduced ("pruned") by a constant factor . As such, it is a form of decrease and conquer algorithm, where at each step the decrease is by a constant factor. Let  be the input size,  be the time complexity of the whole prune-and-search algorithm, and  be the time complexity of the pruning step. Then  obeys the following recurrence relation:

 

This resembles the recurrence for binary search but has a larger  term than the constant term of binary search. In prune and search algorithms S(n) is typically at least linear (since the whole input must be processed). With this assumption, the recurrence has the solution . This can be seen either by applying the master theorem for divide-and-conquer recurrences or by observing that the times for the recursive subproblems decrease in a geometric series.

In particular, Megiddo himself used this approach in his linear time algorithm for the linear programming problem when the dimension is fixed and for the minimal enclosing sphere problem for a set of points in space.

Zdravko Šimić (born 8 September 1977) is a former Croatian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Sengkang Punggol of the Singapore S-League. He can play in both the defensive and offensive midfielder positions, and is the captain of his current club.

Club career
Šimić started his senior footballing career in his native Croatia, playing for his local club H.N.K. Rijeka.

He then moved to N.K. Pomorac where he became a more regular feature in the team's setup, helping them to win promotion to the Prva HNL (Croatian First Football League) in 2002.

In 2005, he was sold to then-Malaysian Super League club Sabah FA, where he could not help his club to avoid relegation, and in 2006, he returned home to Croatia to play for N.K. Draga.

Within two years, Šimić was on his way back to Southeast Asia, this time to Singapore where he is currently playing for Sengkang Punggol as a midfielder and its captain.

On 21 May 2008, Šimić scored his first goal for Sengkang against the Young Lions in dramatic fashion. He stepped up to take a penalty kick, subsequently blasting his effort over the bar, but the referee, Sukhbir Singh, ruled that the Cubs' defenders had stepped into the box before the kick was taken, and called for a retake. Šimić then scored from the spot on his second try. It was his first goal in the S.League, as well as Sengkang's first win in the season since it began.

International career
Šimić had a short stint playing for the Under-15, Under-17 and Under-19 teams of the Croatia national team. There, he played alongside current Croatia national team stars Igor Tudor (Hajduk Split) and Dario Šimić (AS Monaco).

The siege of Sozopolis saw the Byzantine conquest of the Seljuk Turk-held town of Sozopolis in 1120, improving Byzantine communications with the city of Attaleia.

Background
After re-conquering the city of Laodicea from a Seljuk Turkish garrison of 700 men in 1119, the Byzantine emperor John II Komnenos continued his campaigns against the Turks in 1120 after a brief stay in Constantinople. The 1120 campaign target was the town of Sozopolis in Pisidia, which controlled the lines of communication to Attaleia.

Siege
Sozopolis was protected by an armed garrison and steep hills. A large-scale siege attack was thus impossible. The town could only be attacked by small forces. John was initially at a loss how to proceed but later came up with a plan. He ordered a force of missile-armed cavalry under Paktiarios and Dekanos to attack the town gates and shoot at the Turkish soldiers manning the walls. The Turks took the bait and poured out of the gate. The Byzantine force then executed a planned retreat, drawing the Turks far out beyond the town. The rest of the Byzantine army had lain hidden in the thick undergrowth and assaulted the undefended town after the Turks had passed them. The fleeing Byzantines turned about and faced the pursuing Turks. The Turks were trapped between the Byzantine cavalry to their front and the army to their back and were largely killed or captured, with a handful making it out of the encirclement.

Aftermath
Next, the fortress of Hierakokoryphitis capitulated to John without a fight, along with many other towns and fortifications near Attaleia, after which John returned to Constantinople.

Analysis
The combat at Sozopolis demonstrated the discipline of the Byzantine troops, who could feign flight without panicking. The Byzantine cavalry could fight effectively with both missile and close-combat weapons. John showed himself a competent general, carrying out a complex tactical maneuver at the very beginning of his reign.

Plasma needling is a minimally invasive aesthetic medical procedure purported to rejuvenate skin, minimize the appearance of hypertrophic and hypotrophic scars and stretchmarks, and reduce pattern hair loss through multimodal physical and biochemical cellular stimulation. It is a combination of classical medical micro-needling by Dermaroller or DermaPen. Both are used in Collagen induction therapy and PRP (platelet-rich plasma). The latter is used in Prolotherapy as well as in the Vampire facelift. The effects on fibroblasts, cells, and micro-needling stem cells are published in scientific publications regarding micro-needling, and the injection of PRP, has also been tested as a combined treatment.

The term "plasma needling" emerged between 2013 and 2014. Plasma needling is performed in many clinics and practices; however, the efficacy of this technique is yet to be confirmed in large-scale controlled clinical trials.

Charles Souders Paget (born 1874, New Jersey; died 1933) was an American architect active in Canton, China during the late 19th and early 20th century.

Biography
Charles Souders Paget (often known as Charles Paget) was born in 1874 in New Jersey. As an adult he traveled to Canton, China as an architect.

Paget was the top architect in Canton around the turn of the 20th century. He often met the presidents of China, Sun Yat-Sen and Chiang Kai-shek at the time, and invited them to his apartment to stay and work.

Sun Yat-Sen's residence and office, the Marshal House, was designed by Paget, as were many of the buildings constructed in Canton during this time period, like the urban police department and the urban fire station.

Legacy
Paget's house still stands at No.6, Bak Hok Tung Rd., which is inside the Eldly-caring of Canton Shipyard. It could be called the "Canton White House" since two presidents often stayed and worked there.

The area where the house is located used to be the living zone for westerners.

The Female Student Study Center – Al Batha Branch () was one of the three women-only satellite campuses of Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University in ad-Dirah, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, active from 1984 to 2012. The site since 2013 is the campus of Yara International School.

Established in 1984, the campus offered courses at undergraduate, postgraduate and doctorate levels in fields such as Islamic studies, mass media, Arabic literature and social psychology. It's premises were handed over to Yara International School after the relocation of students and faculty to the newly built King Abdullah City for Female Students in 2012.

History 
The Female Student Study Center in Al Batha, Riyadh was established in 1984 alongside al-Malaz and al-Nafal branches during the reign of King Fahd as a women-exclusive satellite campus of Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University to promote female education in Saudi Arabia. The first department to be established was the department of Library and Information, and then later on scientific departments were made that offered degrees at undergraduate, postgraduate and at doctorate levels in the fields of arts, science, Islamic studies, mass media, Arabic literature and social psychology.

2005 Fire accident 
On 16 May 2005 at 7:05 am (UTC+03:00), a fire accident occurred due to burning of one of the internal circuit breakers. At least three students and a supervisor suffered from minor suffocation and were rushed to the hospital by Red Crescent, of which two cases were transferred to Al-Iman General Hospital in Riyadh whereas 3 firefighting units, 4 rescue teams and an evacuation squad from the Saudi Civil Defense were mobilized and traffic police stopped the vehicles surrounding the premises, making it easy for rescue team to evacuate the premises. Later next day, Riyadh Governor Prince Salman and Deputy Governor Prince Sattam followed up on the incident and directed all educational institutes to enhance their fire protection system.

2012 Relocation to King Abdullah City for Female Students 
In January 2006, King Abdullah laid down the foundation for the construction of a 2 billion riyals worth King Abdullah City for Female Students in the western-part of the campus of Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University. The relocation of the students from the satellite campuses to the new building gradually began in 2011 and was expected to be completed by early 2012 but was delayed till mid of 2012 due to lack of safety tests in the new buildings. After the completion of relocation, the premises were handed over to Yara International School from the new academic year.
