John Scott Award, created in 1816 as the John Scott Legacy Medal and Premium, is presented to men and women whose inventions improved the "comfort, welfare, and happiness of human kind" in a significant way. Since 1919 the Board of Directors of City Trusts of Philadelphia provide this award, recommended by an advisory committee.

In 1822 the first awards were given to thirteen people by the Philadelphia Society for Promoting Agriculture entrusted by the "Corporation of the city of Philadelphia".

The druggist John Scott of Edinburgh organized a $4,000 fund which, after his death in 1815 was administered by a merchant until the first award, a copper medal and "an amount not to exceed twenty dollars", was given in 1822. (At the time, $20 could buy one ox or a 12-volume encyclopedia.) Several hundred recipients have since been selected by the City Council of Philadelphia, which decides from the annual list of nominees made by the Franklin Institute.

Gowings was a department store chain in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, established in 1868. Set on several floors, it specialized in men's casual clothing, camping gear and novelty items. It had a men's barber and a dining restaurant.

Company history 
In 1863, John Gowing opened a drapery business in Crown Street, East Sydney, New South Wales. He entered into partnership on 4 November 1868 with his brother Preston Robert Gowing, who had been working as a storekeeper in Victoria. They set up the Mercery and Glove Depot, at 318 George Street, which John managed for £200 per annum plus half the profits of the business. This store was located on the corner of Market Street and George Street and the site was redeveloped in 1929 by John's son, Preston Lanchester Gowing, both as an investment and prime retail location. It became one of the most prominent and famous department stores in Sydney. In recent years Gowings embarked on an ambitious expansion plan, opening four more Gowings stores in other locations in Sydney. 

In 2001, Gowings divested the stores to an independent listed company, Gowings Retail (later G Retail), to enable them to concentrate on their investment and property interests. Although successful in the City, their locations in suburban areas failed to attract customers.

Acquisition 
In November 2005, after three years of successive losses, G Retail Ltd entered administration. Attempts to sell the business were unsuccessful and the last remaining Gowings store was the one in George Street, Sydney, which closed its doors at 5:23pm on 29 January 2006. The building was then taken over by Supré. After 5 years, the building opened its doors to the public as Sydney's first ever Topshop store in 2011.

In Popular Culture
The department store was featured in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie.

The origin of the now old-fashioned Australian colloquial phrase, 'gone to Gowings', is associated with the store.

Hollardosteus marocanus is a brachythoracid arthrodire placoderm from the Middle Devonian of Morocco.  Its scrappy remains were found in Eifelian-aged strata from the Tafilat-Maider Valley.

The inferognathal plate has a well-developed anterior tooth (prong), very similar in form to the inferognathals of the dunkleosteids.  However, the dermal surface of the armor is decorated with a pattern of large, crowded tubercules totally unlike the smooth dermal surfaces of dunkleosteid armors.  This mix of peculiar features leaves H. marocanus placed as "Arthrodira incertae sedis,"  at least until more complete specimens are found.

Mary Bucci Bush (born 1949) is an American author and a professor of English and creative writing at California State University, Los Angeles.

Bush won a PEN/Nelson Algren award for her collection of short stories, A Place of Light, in 1987; a National Endowment for the Arts creative writing fellowship in 1995; and the Tillie Olsen Book Prize from the Working Class Studies Association for her novel, Sweet Hope, in 2012.

Biography 

She was born and raised in Canastota, New York. The family name was changed to Bush by American schoolteachers who had trouble pronouncing Bucci. After receiving a B.A. in English at the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1972, Bush earned her M.A. and D.A. in creative writing at Syracuse University, where she studied under George P. Elliott and Raymond Carver. She taught at Syracuse University and Hamilton College. In 1984 she co-founded the Community Writers Project in Syracuse with fellow novelist Rachel Guido deVries.

Her fiction has appeared in literary journals such as Ploughshares, The Missouri Review, The Black Warrior Review, and Italian Americana; and in anthologies such as The Voices We Carry: Recent Italian American Women's Fiction (Guernica, 2007), Growing Up Ethnic in America (Penguin, 1999), and The Milk of Almonds: Italian American Women Writers on Food and Culture (Feminist Press at CUNY, 2017).

Her most recent novel, Sweet Hope (Guernica Editions, 2011), tells the story of Italian and African-American families living and working together on a Mississippi Delta cotton plantation in the early 1900s. It was inspired by the experiences of Bush's grandmother, who worked on the Sunnyside Plantation in Arkansas as a child.

OpenCards is a free spaced repetition flashcard program. The software is similar to SuperMemo, Anki or Mnemosyne.

The flashcards are saved as PowerPoint presentation files and may include text, images, sounds and LaTeX equations. The learning states are saved in hidden meta-data files in the same directory as the flashcards files. OpenCards implements learning schemes for short-term and long-term memorization.

Flashcard Format

OpenCards uses PowerPoint ppt-files as flashcard sets. Thereby, slide-titles are considered as questions and the slide contents as their answers. OpenCards also supports a reversed mode in which slide contents are treated as questions and the slide title as their answers, which allows creating image, formula or sound questions.

Allowing users to create flashcard files in ppt-format with PowerPoint or LibreOffice overcomes the major limitation of other flashcard software, which usually rely on custom formats and flashcard editors. Internally, OpenCards relies on Apache POI to render slides from ppt-files.

Learning Modes

OpenCards implements two different learning models. A box-based short-term learning procedure, called last-minute learning, and a more sophisticated long-term memorization model based on the principles of active recall and the forgetting model. The latter is implemented as an improved version of the SuperMemo2 algorithm. The SM2 algorithm had been created for SuperMemo in the late 1980s, but still forms the basis of many spaced repetition software applications. OpenCards's implementation of the algorithm has been modified to allow priorities on cards, and to show cards in order of their urgency.

History

OpenCards started as flashcard learning extension for OpenOffice Impress in spring 2008, from which it inherited the first part of its name.  In 2008 it won a Bronze award in the OpenOffice.org Community Innovation Program.

In 2011, OpenCards was redesigned to work as stand alone software and to support PowerPoint PPT files as the main flashcard set file format.

Syncing

OpenCards implements no synchronization mechanism, but flashcard sets including their learning states can be synced using services like DropBox. This allows the user to keep their flashcard sets synchronized across multiple computers.

The British League Division Two was created in 1968 and was the second tier of speedway racing in the United Kingdom until the restructuring of British speedway in 1995. It was renamed the New National League in 1975 and the National League between 1976 and 1990.

History
After the formation of the British League in 1965, riders wanting to break into teams found it more difficult to do so. The idea of forming a second division was suggested and in 1968 the idea became a reality when ten teams formed the league. The ten teams were: Belle Vue Colts, Berwick Bandits, Canterbury Crusaders, Crayford Highwaymen, Middlesbrough Teessiders, Nelson Admirals, Plymouth Devils, Rayleigh Rockets, Reading Racers and the Weymouth Eagles.

The league was renamed the New National League (to avoid confusion with the original National League) in 1975 after promoters of the Division Two tracks decided to form their own league after they became dissatisfied with the way the league was being run by the British Speedway Promoters' Association and the name was shortened to the National League in 1976. It was again named the British League Division Two in 1991 and a system of promotion and relegation was introduced between the British League and the British League Division Two. The league existed until 1994 when the top two league divisions of speedway in the UK were amalgamated for the 1995 and 1996 seasons. In 1997 the Premier League became the second tier when the Elite League was formed.

Pultenaea indira is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect or low-lying shrub with plate-like or fissured bark near the base, densely hairy stems above, linear to lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and yellow, red and maroon flowers.

Description
Pultenaea indira is an erect or low-lying shrub that typically grows up to  high and  wide with plate-like or fissured barkat the base densely hairy stems. The leaves are linear to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base,  long and  wide with brownish stipules  long at the base. The flowers are arranged singly in clusters of six to twelve and are sessile with brownish bracts  long at the base. The five sepals are joined at the base, forming a tube  long with lobes  long. The standard petal is yellow to orange with dark markings,  long and  wide, the wings are yellow to orange and  long and the keel blackish-red or maroon and  long. Flowering occurs from August to November and the fruit is an egg-shaped pod  long.

Taxonomy and naming
Pultenaea indira was first formally described in 2005 by Lindy A. Orthia and Michael Crisp in the journal Nuytsia from specimens collected by Margaret G. Corrick in Cape Arid National Park in 1985. The specific epithet (indira) honours "the Australian weed ecologist and environmental activist, Indira Narayan".

In the same paper, Orthia and Crisp described three subspecies, and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:
 Pultenaea indira Orthia & Crisp subsp. indira has smooth, glabrous leaves;
 Pultenaea indira subsp. monstrosita Orthia has slightly warty, densely hairy leaves;
 Pultenaea indira subsp. pudoides Orthia has slightly warty, sparsely hairy leaves.

Distribution and habitat
Subspecies indira grows in a range of habitats from woodland to low heath including in rocky places, the edges of salt lakes and disturbed areas. It is widely distributed from the Cape Arid National Park to Ravensthorpe and Lake King with scattered populations further inland. Subspecies monstrosita grows in mallee on gentle slopes and flats mainly between Ravensthorpe, Lake King and the Fitzgerald River National Park. Subspecies pudoides grows in tall heath or low scrub near Narrogin and Corrigin.

Conservation status
Pultenaea indira subsp. indira is classified as "not threatened" but subsp. monstrosita is listed as "Priority Three" meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat, and subsp. pudoides as "Priority Two" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, meaning that it is poorly known and from only one or a few locations.

Robert T. "Bob" Welch (born June 8, 1958) is an American lobbyist and former Republican politician.  He served 10 years in the Wisconsin State Senate and 10 years in the State Assembly, and was an unsuccessful candidate for United States Senate in 1994 and 2004.

Biography

Born in Berlin, Wisconsin, Welch graduated from Ripon College and went to Madison Area Technical College, where he was trained to be a surveyor.

Shortly after the 1994 election, incumbent state senator Joseph Leean announced he would resign to accept an appointment from the Governor.  Welch won the 1995 special election to fill the remainder of his term.  He was subsequently elected to a full term in 1996 and 2000.  In 2004, he again deferred re-election for an attempt at election to the United States Senate, but came in a distant 3rd in the Republican primary.  He left office in January 2005.

After leaving office, Welch formed a lobbying firm, Welch Group Public Affairs, with his wife, Jeanne.  Their son, Peter, also works for the company as Chief Operating Officer.
