The Anglesey Artillery Volunteers was a group of part-time units of the British Army in the Welsh island and county of Anglesey from 1860 to 1878.

Formation
The enthusiasm for the Volunteer movement following an invasion scare in 1859 saw the creation of many Rifle, Artillery and Engineer Volunteer Corps composed of part-time soldiers eager to supplement the Regular British Army in time of need. The Welsh island of Anglesey formed three artillery volunteer corps (AVCs) on 14 December 1860:
 1st (Holyhead) Anglesey AVC under Captain John Jacobs
 2nd (Holyhead) Anglesey AVC under Capt Charles Rigby
 3rd (Beaumaris) Anglesey AVC under Capt William H. Weldon

Service
The Hon William Owen Stanley, MP for Beaumaris, succeeded Jacobs as captain of the 1st AVC on 7 March 1861. On 28 August 1863 the three Anglesey units and the small 1st Carnarvonshire AVC at Caernarfon, just across the Menai Strait, were brought together as the 1st Administrative Brigade, Anglesey Artillery Volunteers, under the command of Capt Stanley, who was promoted to major. The admin brigade had its headquarters (HQ) at Holyhead.

However, interest in the 2nd AVC fell away and it was disbanded by July 1868. This meant that the 1st Admin Bde only contained three batteries, and in 1873 it was absorbed into the 1st Administrative Brigade, Cheshire Artillery Volunteer Corps . Recruitment in Anglesey continued to decline and the 1st (Holyhead) AVC disappeared in 1875. By 1878 most of the 3rd (Beaumaris) AVC were actually Carnarvonshire men from Bangor and the surrounding district. In November that year it was formally redesignated as the 2nd Carnarvonshire AVC, and no artillery volunteer units remained headquartered in Anglesey. When the 1st Cheshire Admin Bde was consolidated as the 1st Cheshire and Carnarvonshire AVC in 1880, the 2nd Carnarvon provided Nos 6 and 7 Companies at Bangor.

The Allegory of Isabella d'Este's Coronation  is a painting by the Italian Renaissance painter Lorenzo Costa the Elder, dating to about 1505–1506.  It is displayed in the Louvre Museum of Paris, France.

History
The painting was the fourth commissioned by Isabella d'Este for her studiolo, after two canvasses by Andrea Mantegna (Parnassus and the Triumph of the Virtues, respectively from 1497 and 1499-1502) and Perugino's Combat of Love and Chastity (1503). 

The subject was provided by the court poet Paride of Ceresara and was initially assigned to Mantegna. However, after the latter's death in 1506, he was replaced by Lorenzo Costa, who deleted all the work made by his predecessor. Isabella liked the painting, and this granted Costa the position as the new court painter of the Gonzaga of Mantua.

Duke Charles I of Nevers gifted this and the other paintings in the studiolo to Cardinal Richelieu, and the Allegory thus went to Paris. After belonging to several collections, it became part of the collections of the Louvre Museum.

Description
The most accepted interpretation of the painting is an exaltation of Isabella d'Este, her rule and her role as patron of the arts, which generates harmony. She would be the figure in the center, crowned with laurel by Anteros, who is held by his mother, Venus: the two mythological figures would symbolize the heavenly and virtuous love, compared to the earthly and carnal one.

The scene would be in the garden of Harmony, where it is possible to freely practice Music, Arts and Poetry, which are referred to by the characters surrounding the coronation.  In the foreground, behind the garden's boundaries, are Diana, symbol of chastity, and Cadmus (on the left), protectors of the arts such as Mercury, identified by the scene of battle behind him on the painting's left. The two female characters sitting on the ground are identifiable with the Virtues who watch over Isabella's world: the one crowning the ox would be Perseverance, the one crowning the lamb would be Purity or  Innocence.

Another interpretation is that based on the Tabula Cebetis: the painting would represent the different genres of poetry, the foremost of which is lyrics, portrayed by Venus in the center. The character being crowned would be Sappho, and the personifications around her would be outstanding early lyricists such as Callimachus, Propertius, Ovid and Tibullus.

Meropis (Ancient Greek: ) is a fictional island mentioned by ancient Greek writer Theopompus of Chios in his work Philippica, which is only fragmentarily maintained via Aelian.

Background 
The story of Meropis is neither a utopia nor a political allegory; it is a parody of Plato's Atlantis, in a similar vein to the True History which parodied Homer's Odyssey. Theopompos somewhat overstates many of Plato's aspects of the Atlantis myth. While it is an Egyptian priest who is telling Solon the story of Atlantis according to Plato's Timaeus, it is an ipotane (a mythical half-man half-horse creature) who is telling the Meropis story to King Midas according to Theopompus's Philippica. Although Atlantis was incredibly big by Plato's account, Theopompus describes Meropis as even bigger, to make it completely absurd. Also, while the invading Atlanteans were beaten by Athens due to its perfect society, the Méropes (Μέροπες)—attacking with an army of ten million soldiers—attempt to conquer Hyperborea, but return in disgrace after realizing that the Hyperboreans were the luckiest people on earth and not worth looting.

It has also been suggested that the story was meant as a criticism of Philipp II.

While most describe Meropis as a fictional island, for a different point of view see Emil Forrer who considered the island might have been real. Meropis is also one of historical names of the Greek island of Kos, ruled by Merops.

Geography 
Meropis is situated beyond the world-ocean (Oceanus). Its inhabitants, the Méropes, are twice as tall as other human beings and live twice as long. Theopompos describes three cities in Meropis: Anostos (, "Place of No Return"), Eusebes (, "Pious-Town") and Machimos (, "Fighting-Town"). While the inhabitants of Eusebes are living in opulence getting neither hungry nor sick, the inhabitants of Machimos are in fact born with weapons and carry on wars steadily. The third city, Anostos, is situated on the outermost border of Meropis. It resembles a yawning abyss, does not have day or night, and is covered by cloudy, red fumes.

Vermontasaurus is a ,  folk art representation of a dinosaur at the Post Mills Airport in the town of Thetford, Vermont.

Overview 
The Vermontasaurus is the creation of Brian Boland, a retired teacher and experimental balloon pilot, who with a crew of volunteers used scrap lumber obtained from a collapsed portion of Boland's private museum and hot-air balloon manufacturing facility to build the sculpture, starting in June 2010. Boland adopted the name, "Vermontasaurus," from the comment of an onlooker.

According to the Valley News, the sculpture is part of an eclectic collection of old cars, improvised vehicles connected with hot-air ballooning, and other curiosities that Boland has assembled at the Post Mills Airport.

Controversy 
As of July 2010 the State of Vermont and the town of Thetford had weighed in on whether Vermontasaurus was a work of art or a structure that requires a permit. The state Division of Fire Safety prohibited people from being allowed underneath the sculpture, pending the approval of a structural engineer to attest that it was safe to do so. Subsequently, Vermont District Environmental Commission No. 3 granted a permit for the wooden dinosaur, ruling that it had no negative environmental impact under Vermont's Act 250. Despite an initial assertion that the structure would require a building permit, the town of Thetford waived the requirement, ruling that the structure is a work of art.
The sculpture received confirmation as a permitted use from Thetford's Development Review Board in an August 2010 meeting attended by more than 50 people. The decision was controversial because such a large sculpture was not a use envisioned in the town's ordinances.

Collapse and reconstruction 

In October 2011, three months after the State of Vermont ruled that the sculpture could remain in place, the structure's midsection sagged to the ground. In June 2012, Boland organized approximately 50 volunteers from as far away as Maine to transform the collapsed portion of the sculpture into a revised representation of a dinosaur. In addition, volunteers built a "baby Vermontasaurus", alongside.

Verona Rupes is a cliff on Miranda, a moon of Uranus. It was discovered by the Voyager 2 space probe in January 1986.  The cliff face, previously thought to be from  high, is currently estimated to be  high as of 2016, which makes it the tallest known cliff in the Solar System.

It may have been created by a major impact, which caused the moon to disrupt and reassemble, or by the crust rifting.

Given Miranda's low gravity, it would take about 12 minutes to fall from the top, reaching the bottom at the speed of about 200 km/h.

Lakeside Speedway is a 4/10 mile auto racing Dirt track located in Kansas City, Kansas. It features racing on a weekly basis from April to September in USRA Modified, USRA Stock Car, USRA B-Mod, E-Modifieds, Grand National and Factory Stock categories. Racing at the track is sanctioned by United States Racing Association.

History
The track originally opened on April 17, 1955, at 92nd and Leavenworth Road. However, three deaths during the 1956 racing season forced its closure. Lakeside Speedway reopened under new management in 1961 and continued at the Leavenworth Road location through 1988 when developers for The Woodlands dog & horse racing track purchased the property. Lakeside Speedway then moved to its present location at 5615 Wolcott Drive, also in Kansas City, Kansas. The move enabled not only construction of modern grandstands and a press box, but also provided room for an adjacent campground for racing fans. From 1989 to 1999 Lakeside operated as a half-mile asphalt track. In 2000, it was again under new management, which converted the speedway to a high-banked 4/10-mile dirt track. Flooding is an ongoing concern at the facility due to its close proximity to the Missouri River.

NASCAR connection
The track hosted one NASCAR Convertible Series event in 1956. The race was won by Frank Mundy. The NASCAR Midwest Series also ran one race at the speedway in 1999.

Among the notable NASCAR drivers who have raced at Lakeside Speedway is Clint Bowyer. Bowyer still holds several records at the track.

Amanita chrysoblema, with the common name American fly agaric, white variant, is a basidiomycete fungus of the genus Amanita. Although named chrysoblema, it is traditionally thought to be an Amanita muscaria variant, a group of fungi commonly known as fly agarics.

A. chrysoblema is an uncommon fungus, distinguishable by an off-white to silvery-white cap with white warts. The cap has cuts on the side, but is otherwise similar to the usual fly agaric form.

The fungi is poisonous due to high levels of ibotenic acid and muscimol.

Taxonomy 
This white fly agaric was first described by science in 1880 by Peck, who classified it as an Amanita muscaria variant as A. muscaria var. alba. In 1918, Kauffmann named it Amanita chrysoblema during a study from Michigan, but the var. alba (or var. albus) name has been used in parallel to this since then. 

It is possible that this Amanita is not a muscaria, or fly agaric, but a species in its own right. This issue is currently under scientific scrutiny. The muscaria classification, may stem from it being wrongly treated as a white variant of the Amanita muscaria var. flavivolvata.
