Plymouth Light, also known as Gurnet Light, is a historic lighthouse located on Gurnet Point at the entrance to Plymouth Bay in the town of Plymouth, Massachusetts. The light is accessible only by passing through the town of Duxbury, which lies to the north. The tower is located inside the earthworks of Fort Andrew, which existed in the Civil War, War of 1812, and Revolutionary War.

The original lighthouse was built in 1768, burned down and rebuilt in 1801, when the single light became a pair, and rebuilt again in 1842, again as a pair. The light gradually lost importance as Plymouth Harbor silted up and lost most of its traffic.  Then, when the Cape Cod Canal opened in 1914, there was a significant increase in vessel traffic past the light. The northeast tower was torn down and the remaining tower upgraded from a sixth order Fresnel lens to one of the fourth order.  The fourth order lens is now on display at the Lifesaving Museum in Hull, Massachusetts.  The light is the oldest wooden lighthouse in the United States. The light was relocated approximately  to the north in December 1998 because of beach erosion; this placed it within the earthworks of Fort Andrew.  The property and the Duxbury Pier Light, in open water  to the SW are both managed by Project Gurnet and Bug Lights, Inc.

The site is also known for being staffed by America's first female lighthouse keeper.

The actual light is  above Mean High Water. Its white light is visible for ; its red sector, which covers Mary Ann Rocks, is visible .

Plymouth Light was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Plymouth Light Station on March 8, 1977.

Folkestone Warren Halt was a station on the South Eastern Main Line of the South Eastern Railway at the beach location known as "The Warren" in the east end of Folkestone, Kent, now within the East Cliff and Warren Country Park.

1886 opening 
The station was first opened by the South Eastern Railway in 1886 which installed a bridge over the Main Line leading to a gate on to The Warren from which the public could picnic and enjoy the dramatic scenery in the area; a zig-zag path led down the East Cliff to the station. The Halt enjoyed, however, a brief existence, closing after the Summer in the face of threats by Lord Radnor who felt that his land was being trespassed upon. There is also a suggestion that the station had not been formally authorised by the Board of Trade which, upon discovering its existence, refused to grant consent.

1908 reopening 
Warren Halt was reopened 22 years later by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway and remained open until the evening of 19 December 1915 when a large landslip resulted in the entire undercliff supporting the Main Line moving towards the sea causing approximately 1.5 million cubic metres of chalk to slip or fall burying Warren Halt. The railway watchman was able to stop the 6.10pm Ashford to Dover service as it emerged from Martello Tunnel, hauled by D class, no. 493.

The station as well as the affected section of the South Eastern Main Line remained closed until 1919. The Warren was a popular picnic spot in Edwardian times and a nearby tea chalet served hundreds of visitors daily.

In 1923 the Halt was rebuilt by the Southern Railway which added a set of platforms. The station remained open for a further 16 years before another landslip in 1939. The Halt was, however, kept open as a staff facility until 1971 and a nearby siding subsequently served early Channel Tunnel works.

Adolf Freiherr von Harnier (14 April 1903 – 12 May 1945) was a German lawyer and member of the resistance against the Nazi Party. Born in Bavaria, he was the son of a landowner. He earned a doctor of law degree in 1934 and then settled in Munich as a lawyer. He rejected Nazism and was converted to Catholicism. As a jurist, he defended clerics and Jews during the Nazi era. He was the leader of a group which supported the restoration of monarchism in Bavaria.

Denounced by a Gestapo informer, he was arrested in 1939. Tried for treason, he was sentenced to ten years in prison. He died of typhoid fever on 12 May 1945, shortly after the prison in Straubing he was detained in was liberated by US Troops.

Blainville is a provincial electoral district in the Laurentides region of Quebec, Canada that elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It contains the city of Blainville and two other smaller municipalities.

Lysiphlebus testaceipes is a species of small braconid parasitoid wasp in the subfamily Aphidiinae. L. testaceipes can utilize numerous species of aphids as hosts and has often been used as a biological control agent against aphid pests. It is considered an invasive species in several European countries.

Description 
L. testaceipes is a black wasp less than 3 mm in length with translucent wings. Females have short ovipositors. Due to their size, adults may be difficult to observe in the wild. Aphid mummies produced by this parasitoid appear as rounded and swollen aphids beige or tan in color. An exit hole may be visible on the aphid mummy if the adult wasp has emerged.

Distribution 
L. testaceipes is native to the southern United States and South America. This species was first introduced in Europe to Czechoslovakia in 1972 as a bio-control agent and can now be found on every continent except Antarctica.  Following introduction to Europe, L. testaceipes spread relatively quickly along the Mediterranean coast to eventually cover the entire Mediterranean area. It has since then moved north to the foothills of the Pyrenees and has been found in Serbia as of 2013.  In the United States, L. testaceipes has been found as far north as Wisconsin.

The ability of this species to spread into cooler areas led to its removal from the European Plant Protection Organization's list of positive biological control agents in 2008.

Ecology 
Like all members of Aphidiinae, L. testaceipes is a solitary, koinobiont endoparasitoid of aphids. This means that adult females lay a single egg inside of an aphid host. The egg hatches after two days and the larval wasp then develops inside the still living aphid. When the larva has finished feeding after 6 to 8 days, it kills the aphid, leaving the skin as a protective hardened shell, or mummy. The larva then cuts a hole in the bottom of the aphid mummy to attach it to the plant with silk. The larvae pupates within this mummy and exits after 4 or 5 days as an adult, chewing a hole in the top of the mummy. Developmental time can be influenced by temperature.

Hosts 
L. testaceipes has a notably wide host range, exceeding 100 aphid species in several genera.  Hosts include Aphis craccivora, Schizaphis graminum, Melanaphis sacchari and Myzus persicae.

Piloderma is a genus of fungi in the family Atheliaceae. The distinguishing characteristics of Piloderma are the thick-walled (roughly 0.25 µm) basidiospores, the club-shaped basidia with stalk-like bases, and the clampless-septate hyphae. The widespread genus contains six species.

Ecology 
Piloderma is known to be a key ectomycorrhizal species in conifer forests, assisting in nitrogen recycling and assimilation.
