The Pasig River in the Philippines suffers from a high level of water pollution and efforts are being made to rehabilitate it.

After World War II, massive population growth, infrastructure construction, and the dispersal of economic activities to Manila's suburbs left the river neglected. The banks of the river attracted informal settlers and the remaining factories dumped their wastes into the river, making it effectively a huge sewer system. Industrialization had already polluted the river.

In the 1930s, observers noticed the increasing pollution of the river, as fish migration from Laguna de Bay diminished. People ceased using the river's water for laundering in the 1960s, and ferry transport declined. By the 1970s, the river started to emanate offensive smells as a result of waste  from swine and poultry establishments in the area where protected Marikina watershed is located (Pinugay, Baras, Rizal) and in the 1980s, fishing in the river was prohibited.  By the 1990s, the Pasig River was considered biologically dead

In 2017 a study on river plastic emissions into the world’s oceans cited the Pasig River as the world’s eighth most polluting river in terms of unwanted micro and surface concentrations of plastic waste entering the marine environment.

Rehabilitation efforts 

Efforts to revive the river began in December 1989 with the help of Danish authorities. The Pasig River Rehabilitation Program (PRRP) was established, with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as the main agency with the coordination of the Danish International Development Assistance.

In 1999, President Joseph Estrada signed Executive Order No. 54 publishing the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) to replace the old PRRP with additional expanded powers such as managing of wastes and resettling of squatters.

In 2019, President Rodrigo Duterte abolished the PRRC, transferring of PRRC's functions, including "all necessary and incidental powers," to the Manila Bay Task Force, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, and the Department of Public Works and Highways, two months after firing PRRC executive director Jose Antonio Goitia for alleged involvement in corrupt activities.

The Lussich Arboretum is an arboretum of  located in the Maldonado Department of Uruguay near Punta del Este and Punta Ballena.

History 
On 5 October 1896 Antonio Lussich bought a terrain of , which extend from "Arroyo el Potrero" to "Sierra de la Ballena" and from Rio de la Plata to Laguna del Sauce, land which at that time consisted only of sand dunes and stones.  
The next year Antonio Lussich started the forestry works which had as objective on one hand, to forest the dry lands in an attempt to stop the high winds that came from the ocean, and on the other, once the forest was established, to encourage birds to inhabit it. 
In order to do that, Antonio Lussich, thanks to the enterprise of maritime rescue contracts obtained all over the world, could manage to get seeds from numerous continents. He bought seeds, plants and trees from around the world and planted them around his house.
The first trees planted were Tamarix, sea pines, Eucalyptus and Acacia trinervis to resist the strong winds and sand.

During December 1979,  was donated to the Municipality of Maldonado and then opened to the public. The Lussich Arboretum is one of the most important Forest Reserves in the world.

Species 

The Lussich Arboretum has more than 400 exotic species and around 70 Uruguayan species.

Between many of the trees species, the most important are:

 Abies, 6 species.
 Acacia, 8 species.
 Cupressus, 9 species.
 Eucalyptus, 45 species.
 Juniperus, 10 species.
 Pinus, 20 species.
 Quercus, 16 species.
 Thuja, 4 species.

Henry Frank Phillips (June 4, 1889 – April 13, 1958) was an American businessman from Portland, Oregon. The Phillips-head ("crosshead") screw and screwdriver are named after him.

The importance of the crosshead screw design lies in its self-centering property, useful on automated production lines that use powered screwdrivers. Phillips' major contribution was in driving the crosshead concept forward to the point where it was adopted by screwmakers and automobile companies. The credited inventor of the Phillips screw was John P. Thompson who, in 1932, patented (#1,908,080) a recessed cruciform screw and in 1933, a screwdriver for it.

Biography
After failing to interest manufacturers, Thompson sold his self-centering design to Phillips in 1935. Phillips formed the Phillips Screw Company in 1934. After refining the design (U.S. Patent #2,046,343, U.S. Patents #2,046,837 to 2,046,840) for the American Screw Company of Providence, Rhode Island, Phillips succeeded in bringing the design to industrial manufacturing and promoting its rapid adoption as a machine screw standard. American Screw then spent $500,000 originating a method of manufacture. One of the first customers was General Motors who used the innovative design in 1936 for its Cadillac assembly-lines. By 1940, 85% of U.S. screw manufacturers had a license for the design. Due to failing health, Phillips retired in 1945. He died in 1958.

The intermediate parakeet (Psittacula intermedia) or Rothschild's parakeet was a kind of parakeet reported from the sub-Himalayan region of India and was described on the basis of about seven undated specimens. Similar individuals have been noted in captivity and the type specimen is now believed to be a hybrid between Psittacula himalayana and Psittacula cyanocephala. More recent captive specimens that appeared similar were found to be hybrids produced by crosses between Psittacula krameri and Psittacula cyanocephala. An analysis of the characters of the specimens suggests that the originally described P. intermedia was a hybrid between P. cyanocephala x P. himalayana.

Description
This parakeet has never been seen in the wild. Six of the seven specimens are considered to show signs of captivity. The characters are intermediate between the cyanocephala and himalayana with considerable variation among the specimens.

The intermediate parakeet is 36 cm long, wing length 15 - 16 cm, tail length 16.5 - 19.5 cm. 

This is a mainly yellowish-green parrot with a slaty-purple head bordered below by a broad black cheek stripe which becomes a narrow band across nape. The  forehead back to the eye area has a pink-purple tinge. There is a reddish-brown patch on the wing-coverts. The  tail feathers are purple with yellowish-white tips, and yellow undersides. The  upper mandible is reddish with a yellow tip, and the lower mandible yellowish.

The female has a smaller red wing patch, and more slaty head.

Randall James "Randy" Moffitt (born October 13, 1948) is an American athlete. He was a baseball pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, Houston Astros and Toronto Blue Jays. Born in Long Beach, California, he is the younger brother of tennis star Billie Jean Moffitt King.

Career
Moffitt was drafted by the Giants in the 1st round (18th pick) of the 1970 amateur draft.  After a successful year as a starting pitcher for the Class-A Fresno Giants (9–6, 1.60) he was converted to relief with the Triple-A Phoenix Giants in 1971. He was called up to the big club in 1972, making his Major League Baseball debut on June 11.

In 1979, during his eighth year with the Giants, Moffitt contracted Cryptosporidia enteritis. By the end of the season, he was easily exhausted, vomiting frequently and lost around 25 pounds. His physicians were unable to determine what was causing his illness, with one suggesting that his problem was mental. Following a bloody stool incident during a plane trip in 1980, Moffitt had a colonoscopy done and a biopsy of a bleeding ulcer revealed the presence of Cryptosporidium parasites. According to a Sports Illustrated article, "it's reasonable to assume he caught it from a horse—although nobody knows how." Moffitt's recovery was slow and he was released from the Giants on August 4, 1981.

He was a dependable relief pitcher for many years, and finished in the National League Top Ten four times for saves and three times for games pitched.  During the 1970s he partnered first with Elías Sosa and later with Gary Lavelle to give the Giants one of the league's better bullpens.  In 534 career pitching appearances (all but one in relief) he finished 306 games including 96 saves.

Ann E. Hagerman is an American chemist. She is a professor of biochemistry at Miami University and an expert on Tannin chemistry. In 1998, she published High Molecular Weight Plant Polyphenolics (Tannins) as Biological Antioxidants, one of the most highly cited papers in the field.

Early life and education
Hagerman earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Occidental College in 1976 before enrolling at Purdue University for her PhD in biochemistry.

Career
Upon earning her PhD, Hagerman accepted an assistant professor position at Miami University's Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry. While at Miami, Hagerman published High Molecular Weight Plant Polyphenolics (Tannins) as Biological Antioxidants, which was recognized by Thomson Scientific Essential Science Indicators as one of the most highly cited papers in the field. Her research on Tannins was continuously funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Cancer Research Foundation of America, and Lipton Tea Company. During the 1980s, she published two journal articles on Tannis chemistry; Role of tannins in defending plants against ruminants:  Reduction in protein availability and The specificity of proanthocyanidin‑protein interactions. The former was the first publication describing the high affinity of polyphenols for proline-rich proteins, and provided a chemical basis for the tight binding. The latter journal article established that dietary tannins impact nitrogen digestibility and availability in herbivorous mammals. In 1997, she received the Miami University Researchers of the Year award. The following year, she wrote the first Tannins handbook, "a compilation of methods developed in her laboratory for analyzing tannins."

In 2010, Hagerman collaborated with chemist Javier Gonzalez and soil scientist Jonathan Halvorson to discover if tannins could be applied to help make good soil and healthy livestock. In the same year, she became the first American to receive the Groupe Polyphenols Scientific Prize at the International Conference on Polyphenols. In 2018, Hagerman was named Chemist of the Year by the American Chemical Society's Cincinnati Section.  In her 2020 paper Decrypting bacterial polyphenol metabolism in an anoxic wetland soil, she worked alongside Kelly Wrighton and Bridget McGivern to demonstrate that polyphenols are actively metabolized by selected microorganisms in anoxic soil systems.
