History
The villages of Sashiougi, Mamiya, Uemizu, Nisshin and Mihashi were created within Kitaadachi District, Saitama with the establishment of the municipalities system on April 1, 1889. Nisshin and Mihashi were merged with Ōmiya Town in 1940, becoming part of the city of Ōmiya. In 1955, Ōmiya annexed Sashiougi, Mamiya, and Uemizu. On May 1, 2001, Ōmiya merged with Urawa and Yono cities to form the new city of Saitama.  When Saitama was proclaimed a designated city in 2003, the far western portion of former Ōmiya city became Nishi Ward.

Antrodiaetus pacificus is a species of mygalomorph spiders native to the Pacific Northwest. Both male and female were first described by French arachnologist Eugène Louis Simon in 1884 under the name Brachybothrium pacificum. The genus name is a combination of the Greek "antrodiaitos" (αντροδιαιτος), meaning "living in caves", "antron" (αντρον), meaning "cave", and "diaita (διαιτα), meaning "way of life, dwelling". The specific epithet refers to its geographical distribution along the pacific coast of North America, between San Francisco Bay and Alaska. It is the northernmost mygalomorph spider in North America.

Both males and females have a carapace that is dark brown to black, and two to three sclerotized patches on the abdomen. Females are about  long, and males are about  long. They are active year-round, but most activity occurs between late July and early September, peaking around mating season between early June and late November. They live in cool, damp forest and build burrows in soft substrates, usually sand, moss, or decaying wood, where they brood their eggs and overwinter. During the day, they keep the entrance closed, but when the sun sets and it is sufficiently dark, they will open the burrow and wait at the entrance for potential prey to wander by, predominantly beetles.

Jean Pierre Pellissier (28 September 1808 in St. Arey, France – 11 June 1867 in Bethulie, Orange Free State, South Africa) was a missionary from the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society to Southern Africa.

To South Africa 

He arrived in Cape Town, South Africa on 5 September 1831, where he stayed at Wamakersvallei (Wellington, South Africa) for two months, to learn Dutch.

Movements in South Africa 

He departed from Wamakersvallei to Kuruman, South Africa to do mission work among the Tswana people (Zeerust).
Local infighting between rival tribes caused him to move to the area north of the Orange River in 1833, to a site where the London Missionary Society had an unsuccessful attempt to start a mission station among the Khoi people.
He later named the mission station Bethulie (meaning Eloah – house of God). The land of the mission station was transferred to the Paris Mission Society in 1836. 
Besides his mission work, Pellissier made a great contribution towards practical education and medicine among the local people.
This resulted in one of the best-developed mission stations in southern Africa beyond the Orange River for that period.

Family life 

He married Martha Thorpe Murray (b.23 February 1814, d.17 October 1887) a 1820 Settlers child.
He had six daughters and 1 son: Henriette (b.1835), Amelie (b.1838), Louise (b. 1841), Marie (b.1843), Charlotte (b.1846), Emilie (b.1848), Samuel Henri (b.1850).

Acknowledgement 

In 1861 he was officially acknowledged as a medical practitioner by the local government of the Orange Free State.

Alphonsus (Fonse) Faour (born November 16, 1951, in Corner Brook, Newfoundland) is a former Canadian politician.
Faour represented the electoral district of Humber—St. George's—St. Barbe, which he won in a 1978 by-election following the resignation of Jack Marshall. In the general election the following year, Faour retained the renamed seat of Humber—Port au Port—St. Barbe. However, in the 1980 election, Faour was defeated by Brian Tobin.

After the election, he became leader of the Newfoundland and Labrador New Democratic Party from 1980 to 1981. He resigned due to difficulties in concurrently maintaining his law practice and leading the party without a seat in the legislature.

In 2003, Faour was appointed to the trial division of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Gerald Molloy (born at Mount Tallant House, near Dublin, 10 September 1834; died at Aberdeen, 1 October 1906) was an Irish Roman Catholic priest, theologian and scientist.

Life
He was educated at Castleknock College, and subsequently went to Maynooth College. Here he applied himself to theology and the physical sciences.

He was barely 23 when in 1857 he became professor of theology at Maynooth, and continued to hold that chair until 1874, when he accepted the professorship of natural philosophy at the Catholic University of Ireland. In 1883 he succeeded Dean Henry Neville of Cork as Rector of the Catholic University of Ireland, which office he occupied up to the day of his death.

He acted on the commission on manual training in primary schools, and filled the post of assistant commissioner under the Educational Endowments Act. As early as 1880 he became a member of the Senate of the Royal University of Ireland, and remained so till 1882, when he was appointed to a fellowship in the same university. In 1890 he became a member of the governing board of that institution and at the time of his death was its vice-chancellor. He was also a member of the Board of Intermediate Education.

As a lecturer and skilled experimentalist, Molloy was very successful in dealing with scientific subjects and rendering them intelligible and interesting. Under the auspices of the Royal Dublin Society, of whose council he was a member, he delivered a series of lectures on natural science, and in particular on electricity. On one occasion he joined issue on the subject of lightning conductors with Sir Oliver Lodge.

At the time of his death, he was representing the Catholic University at the celebration of the fourth centenary of Aberdeen University, and was one of those on whom the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws at Aberdeen was conferred a few days before.

Works
Among his works are:

"Geology and Revelation" (1870), a fuller treatment of a series of papers on geology in its relation with revealed religion, which appeared from time to time in the Irish Ecclesiastical Record;
Outlines of a course of Natural Philosophy (1880);
Gleanings in Science: popular lectures on scientific subjects by Gerald Molloy D.D., D.Sc., London & New York, Macmillan and Co., (1888);
Notes on Electric Lighting, by the Rev. Gerald Molloy, D.D., D. Sc. (M. H. Gill and Son); 
The Irish Difficulty, Shall and Will by Gerald Molloy, D.D., D.Sc., Blackie & Son, (1897).

He also translated a number of passages from Dante's Purgatorio, wrote of the Passion Play at Oberammergau, and was a frequent contributor to magazines.

He donated substantial assets to the Ospedale Maggiore (Main Hospital of Bologna) to build today's Bellaria hospital.  He died in Bologna, aged 55.

In 1920, his heirs donated to the Rigatoni Museum and the Gallery of Modern Art (Bologna) a few great nineteenth- century paintings that had adorned the famous Salone del Risorgimento which Pizzardi wanted in his palace. 
The family Pizzardi archive is in Bologna at Palazzo Ratta, via Castiglione 29.

A Windows accelerator was a type of Graphics processing unit for personal computers with additional acceleration features like 2D line-drawings, blitter, clipping, font caching, hardware cursor support, color expansion, linear addressing, and pattern, polygon and area fills. The functionality marketed for accelerating the Microsoft Windows operating system. These have been superseded by multipurpose GPUs which include acceleration for 3D graphics.

Most of the Windows accelerator video cards were 2D capable fixed function accelerators that got 2D drawing commands and pixel data sent from the CPU and the fixed function run the given command which resulted in a faster drawing of the window. The lessened burden on the CPU, combined with the smaller data stream needed for the required instructions, resulted in improved performance compared to dumb frame-buffer only based video-cards.

In the high-end professional area a price of several thousands of dollars, there were also coprocessor based video chipsets like the Texas Instrument TMS34020 available that had their own processor which allowed to offload some of the processing data from the CPU to the coprocessor the videocard.

To make use of these accelerator or coprocessor based video cards, a Windows Graphic driver for the specific video chipset was necessary.
