Red Rocks (SSSI) is an area of sand dunes and reed beds at the mouth of the Dee Estuary and to the west of Hoylake on the Wirral Peninsula, England.

Flora and fauna
The area is home to a variety of dune/reed plants the rarest of which was originally thought to be Mackay's horsetail, but has subsequently been re-identified as a new Equisetum hybrid with a very restricted distribution on north Wirral and Anglesey. This plant is found at the south end of the reserve along the edges of the dune slack.

The area is important for birds, with breeding reed warbler, sedge warbler and reed bunting in the reed bed, sallows and alders of the dune slack, common whitethroat, grasshopper warbler, skylark and European stonechats in the fixed dunes and their low scrub and burnet roses. 268 species of bird have been recorded, with up to 170 in a single year. The grasshopper warbler has recently been elevated to red status in the Birds of Conservation Concern list in 2007  whilst reed bunting has amber status.

The site is an important breeding site for natterjack toads, a breed common in mainland Europe, but rare in the UK. Natterjack toads are confined to the most seaward and brackish areas of the reserve, with common frog, common toad and smooth newt dominating in the freshwater habitats. Common lizard is abundant in the fore dunes. The extremely rare moth, the  sandhill rustic, is localised in the fore dunes.

Phu Khiao (, ) is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Chaiyaphum province, northeastern Thailand.

History
Phu Khiao was a city (mueang) in the early years of the Rattanakosin Kingdom era at the end of the 18th century. The center of the city was in Ban Mueang Kao (which now is in Kaset Sombun district). The governor was Phraya Krai Singhanat. When the city grew, Phraya Krai Singhanat (Ruecha) moved the center of the city to Ban Kut Chueak. His son, the next governor Phraya Krai Singhanat (Bunma), was promoted by the government in Bangkok to be Phraya Phakdi Ruechai Changwang. Again he moved the city center to Ban Non Salao.

During the Thesaphiban administrative reforms Mueang Phu Khiao was downgraded to be a district of Chaiyaphum province in 1899.

It was later renamed Phak Pang after the central tambon, and changed back to Phu Khiao in 1939.

Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Chum Phae of Khon Kaen province; Ban Thaen, Kaeng Khro, Kaset Sombun, and Khon San of Chaiyaphum Province.

Administration
The district is divided into 11 sub-districts (tambons).

The 2023 World Seniors Darts Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2023 JENNINGSbet World Seniors Darts Championship) was the second World Seniors Darts Championship organised by the World Seniors Darts Tour. It took place at the Circus Tavern in Purfleet between 9 and 12 February 2023. The event was open to players over the age of 50, except current PDC Tour Card holders. The tournament was expanded from 24 to 32 players.

Robert Thornton, the defending champion after winning the 2022 inaugural tournament, successfully defended his title to become back to back World Senior Champion.

Prize money
The prize fund for the event was £80,000, with £30,000 going to the champion.

Qualifiers
The first players announced to take part in the event were Robert Thornton, Phil Taylor, Martin Adams, John Part, Trina Gulliver and Keith Deller.

Three more invited players were announced in October, Mark Dudbridge, Co Stompé and Chris Mason. Mason previously stated that he would rather qualify by the open qualifications, but after an impressive start in the MODUS Super Series tournaments, he accepted his spot as an invited player.

The Joint Center for Housing Studies  is a research center on housing-related issues at Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Through its research, education, and public outreach programs, the center helps leaders in government, business, and the civic sectors make decisions that effectively address the needs of cities and communities.

History
The center was formed in 1959 under the leadership of Martin Meyerson, its founding director, as the Harvard–MIT Joint Center for Urban Studies, to address intellectual and policy issues confronting a nation experiencing widespread demographic, economic and social change. Its research was based on the premise that the resolution of these issues called for imaginative interdisciplinary approaches to the study of urban problems and issues, and required cooperation among universities, government and industry.

In 1989, a split was made from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and became affiliated solely with Harvard's Graduate School of Design and Harvard Kennedy School. The center consolidated the focus on housing that had emerged during the 1970s, and changed the ending of its name from  Urban Studies to Housing Studies.

An annual lecture in honor of John Thomas Dunlop is administered by the Joint Center for Housing Studies. Notable keynotes include: Herbert Kohler Jr. (2001); Angelo Mozilo (2002); Henry Cisneros (2003); Kim B. Clark (2004); Jack Kemp (2005); Lewis Ranieri (2008); Shaun Donovan (2009); Marc Morial (2010); Jonathan Reckford (2011); Mel Martínez (2012); Ron Terwilliger (2013); Jonathan F. P.

The Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist was a historic chapel in Capitola, California from 1889 to 2009.

History
The first meeting of an Episcopal Church group in the area was on June 24, 1889, the feast day of Saint John the Baptist. Services were held in private homes while money was slowly raised to build a church named for the saint.
In 1897 Frederick A. Hind donated land at 216 Oakland Avenue, at  on the bluff above his resort called Depot Hill. The cross street was named Railroad Avenue at the time (after the railroad depot there) but is now Escalona Drive. The first service was held August 10, 1898. It was formally consecrated by Bishop William Ford Nichols on June 24, 1899. The church was designed as a smaller replica of an English church.

By 1961 the parish began considering ideas for relocation. In 1963 the parish hall was closed after being declared unsafe by the Capitola Fire Department. Zoning issues prevent expansion at the Depot Hill site. In 1985 the leadership of the parish decided to move to a larger location. The original chapel seated only 85, and the congregation wanted capacity for 300.

New site
In 1989 a new site was selected on vacant land in Aptos, California near Seacliff State Beach a few miles to the south at  on McGregor Drive. In 1991 the congregation purchased the land jointly with the Santa Cruz Housing Authority. Besides 39 affordable condominium units, a small neighborhood park was also planned.
Warren Callister was selected as architect.
After two years of applying for permits, the Santa Cruz County Planning Commission approved the plan on May 24, 2006. The new road to the development was named Canterbury Drive at their request.
The new site was designed with drought-tolerant landscaping and a  rainwater collection tank.
The new building opened in June 2009.
The old property was sold for over $2.5 million for use as a residence.

The church is part of the Episcopal Diocese of El Camino Real.  the Rector was Steve Ellis.

A protective colloid is a lyophilic colloid that when present in small quantities keeps lyophobic colloids from precipitating under the coagulating action of electrolytes.

Need for protective colloids 

When a small amount of hydrophilic colloid  is added to hydrophobic colloids it may coagulate the latter. This is due to neutralisation of the charge on the hydrophobic colloidal particles. However, the addition of large amount of hydrophilic colloid increases the stability of the hydrophobic colloidal system. This is due to adsorption.

When lyophilic sols are added to lyophobic sols, depending on their sizes, either lyophobic sol is adsorbed in the surface of lyophilic sol or lyophilic sol is adsorbed on the surface of lyophobic sol. The layer of the protective colloid prevents direct collision between the hydrophobic colloidal particles and thus prevents coagulation.

Examples 
Lyophilic sols like starch and gelatin act as protective colloids.

Measurement of protective action 

For a comparative study Zsigmondy introduced a scale of protective
action for different protective colloids in terms of gold number. The gold number is the weight in milligrams of a protective colloid which checks the coagulation of 10ml of a given gold sol on adding 1 ml of 10% sodium chloride.

Thus smaller the gold number, greater is the protective action.
Gold numbers of some materials
Gelatin 0.005-0.01
Albumin 0.1
Acacia 0.1-0.2
Sodium oleate 1-5
Tragacanth 2 [4]

Styggforsen is a waterfall and a nature reserve in Dalarna County, Sweden. It is part of the European Union-wide Natura 2000 network.

Geography
The waterfall is located in the village of Boda, 20 kilometres to the north of Rättvik. It lies at the eastern edge of the Siljan Ring, a prehistoric impact crater which was formed 377 million years ago during the Devonian period when a meteorite struck the Earth's surface. The bolide was estimated to be about 4 kilometres in diameter and was travelling at around 100,000 kilometres per hour, causing a vertical realignment of the  horizontal rock strata and a depression of the bedrock upon collision. This had a profound effect upon the local environment, creating many of the geological features which exist to this day such as Lake Siljan to the south-west and Styggforsen.

The river Styggforsån is interrupted by the waterfall which is 36 meters high and composed of a column of Ordovician limestone. The base of the waterfall abuts a dike of brecciated quartz which is believed to predate the impact event. The site is popular with tourists and it is encompassed by a circular path of about one kilometre that leads down to a cave called Troll Hole. A cafe is open during the summer time and there is also an information centre nearby.

Flora and fauna
In 1979, a nature reserve approximately 12 hectares in size was established around the waterfall, and in 2005 it was incorporated into the Natura 2000 network. Its moist climate is favoured by many lichens, mosses and plants, such as the rare orchid Epipactis atrorubens which grows there. It also provides a habitat for many species of insects which include Venusia cambrica, Hyloicus pinastri and Epirrhoe alternata. Picking flowers and doing anything to affect the environment is forbidden within the confines of the nature reserve.

Trivia
Ingmar Bergman's film, The Virgin Spring, used Styggforsen as one of its locations.

Guy Malary (10 June 1943 – 14 October 1993) was a Justice Minister of Haiti, appointed by Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1991 and continuing in office under the post-1991 Haitian coup d'état regime.  He was killed in an ambush along with his bodyguards. "According to the petitioners [to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights], in the course of carrying out his duties, Mr. Malary worked for the implementation of the Governor's Island Accord, advocating the creation of an independent police force and carrying out a comprehensive review of the judicial system of Haiti, which brought him into direct conflict with the authorities in the country at the time."

According to the Center for Constitutional Rights, a CIA memo dated October 28, 1993 implicated FRAPH members Louis-Jodel Chamblain, Emmanuel Constant, and Gabriel Douzable.  The memo claimed they met with an unidentified member of the Haitian military to plan the assassination of Malary.

The domestic building at Port-au-Prince International Airport was named after him.
