Robert K. Cousins is a contemporary American playwright and founding contributor to phenomenalism, a neo-existential 'post post modern' approach to theatre that has grown out of the experimental performance work staged by Odd Act Theatre Group.

Cousins is the group's resident playwright and has been writing for them since 2005. His plays have appeared at festivals across North America, opening in Princeton, NJ; Washington, DC; Montreal, Quebec; London, Ontario; and Edinburgh, Scotland.

Cousins' plays explore the relationship between reality and fiction. His plays are largely meta-theatrical, focusing on the metaphysics of performance in order to explore the ontology and ethics of existence. Cousins' plays often take the form of a philosophical conflict that trickles down into personal and physical confrontation between the characters. Phenomenalism, which seeks to overcome the personal disconnections bred out of postmodernism, draws on Cousins' dramatized explorations of the nature of reality to break the simulation of the theatrical event and create a more direct confrontation between the artist and the audience.

As a founding member of Odd Act Theatre Group, Cousins' career has developed along with the group. His first full-length play, All the Rabbits, had a modest debut at the Carslake Center in suburban Bordentown, NJ. How the Money Goes, his second full-length, also opened in central New Jersey but transferred to Washington, DC, and has since appeared at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Ice Cream Musical: The Ice Cream Musical and A Wild Play have both opened in Canada in Montreal and London, Ontario respectively.

While the Casta system was flourishing in New Spain (Colonial Mexico) (1519-1821),
a painters' guild emerged in order to classify the different ‘races’. The painters' guild in New Spain paralleled the structure, purpose, and mobility of the Casta system they were representing.

Structure
The structure of the guild was hierarchical, similar to the system they were paid to represent. The master would take on an ‘apprentice’ who would work for room and board until he or she was considered skilled enough to become an independent painter. As Moriuchi states "Working within a guild system, Mexican artists frequently copied one another, and several compositions, forms, and themes were repeated among various identified and anonymous artists, establishing basic conventions foundational to any genre" (15). Therefore, despite the multitude of painters responsible for visually representing race in the Casta paintings, the images themselves seem similar enough to belong to a single artist. Change and innovation was highly criticized and the paintings, thus, maintained a common style and portrayal.

Purpose 
One of the main reasons that innovation was frowned upon in the Casta painters' guild was due to the very purpose of the Casta system. The system was, in part, created to try and impose an order on a very messy reality – the mixing of ‘races’ between the Spanish, indigenous, and African peoples of New Spain. Therefore, the guild had specific rules for how the representations of races were to be depicted and in what way. The order in the guild therefore promoted the order of the system. Additionally, unskilled artists were required to be tested in order to paint specific pieces. These lesser skilled artists were referred to as ‘Indians’ regardless of their own personal racial identification. This exemplifies how race was used as a categorizing tool that didn't necessarily relate to the reality on the ground.

Mobility and opportunity 
The guild also had specific restrictions on who and how an individual could move up in the hierarchy of the guild. Strict tests were required before an individual could move up a position in the guild. However, similarly in the Casta system itself, there was corruption in the guild which allowed individuals to pay for a higher position even if the skill requirements had not been met.

Henry Ferdinand Halloran (9 August 1869 – 22 October 1953) was a major property owner and developer in New South Wales in the early part of the twentieth century.

Halloran was born in Sydney, his father was a bank clerk and architect named Edward Roland Halloran and mother was Adeline Burgess, née Reuss. His grandfather was also called Henry Halloran and his great grandfather was Laurence Hynes Halloran, who arrived in Australia, as a  convict transported to Sydney.  

Halloran attended Sydney Boys High School and Newington College. He qualified as a surveyor in 1890 and became a conveyancer and valuer. After establishing Henry F. Halloran & Co. in 1897, Halloran became a significant figure in property development and urban planning in New South Wales from the 1880s through to the 1950s. His developments included Seaforth and Warriewood in Sydney in 1906, and—the unsuccessful—Environa near Canberra in 1930. There were other Halloran subdivisions at Stanwell Park, near Orient Point, and at Currarong.

He also built structures at Tanilba Bay in 1931. He attempted to create a place called Pacific City near Jervis Bay. The site of Pacific City was to have been west of Hyams Beach and would have extended west to the St Georges Basin shoreline. He also attempted to create a place called Port Stephens City at present day North Arm Cove, but only a small village eventuated, despite a significant area of land outside the present-day village being subdivided and sold.

Halloran began the revival of the ghost town of South Huskisson, on the western shore of Jervis Bay. He renamed the deserted 'Old Township', Vincentia, in 1952. He did not live to see it reborn, as a holiday destination, following land sales for holiday homes (also known as 'weekenders'), which occurred in the 1950s and 1960s.

Halloran died on 22 October 1953 at the age of 84.

Legacy

The University of Sydney, established the Henry Halloran Trust, aimed at promoting scholarship, innovation and research in town planning, urban development and land management. Several collections of Halloran's papers, including maps and survey notes detailing land and property subdivision throughout New South Wales, are held at the State Library of New South Wales.

Also part of his legacy are significant portions of undeveloped marginal land, now owned by his heirs or the Halloran Trust, that from time to time are proposed for development.

Another legacy is a subdivision, planned by Walter Burley Griffin in 1918, at North Arm Cove, which Halloran sold after subdivision. Much of the subdivision is currently zoned non-urban with a prohibition of erecting permanent dwellings - "paper subdivision". North Arm Cove is subject to renewed efforts of the community of land owners towards sustainable development through the North Arm Cove Initiative.

Dominik Patrick Werling (born 13 December 1982) is a German former professional footballer who played as a left-back. His father is American and his mother is German.

Career
Werling played for several clubs in Germany before moving to Turkey. In July 2007, he joined Barnsley from Turkish side Sakaryaspor. He remained at the club until January 2008, scoring once against Plymouth Argyle, where he then signed for FC Erzgebirge Aue. On 3 September 2008, it was announced his contract had been terminated by FC Erzgebirge Aue and that he could leave the team.

Following a trial spell, in which he scored a goal in a friendly match against Blackburn Rovers, he joined Football League One side Huddersfield Town on 20 January 2009. He made his debut as a substitute for Lionel Ainsworth in the 1–0 win over Peterborough United on 31 January 2009. At the end of the season, he was not offered a new contract and was released.

On 28 April 2010, it was confirmed that Werling would be rejoining former manager Simon Davey at Darlington for the 2010–11 season. After Davey left, Werling initially stated he was committed to Darlington, but then asked for a transfer. Eventually, without having appeared for the club, he bought himself out of his contract and again rejoined Davey, now at League Two club Hereford United, where he signed a two-year deal but left in February 2011 after falling out of favour at the club. He signed in July 2014 for Swedish Div. 2 team Ånge IF.

Ficaria is a small genus of several species of plants in the family Ranunculaceae, which were previously grouped with Ranunculus. The genus includes Ficaria verna, known as fig buttercup or lesser celandine, and related species. The name "Ficaria" is Classical Latin for fig. Plants in the genus are closely related to true buttercups, but generally have only three sepals and swollen smooth achenes.

Splitting of genus Ranunculus
Molecular investigation of the genus Ranunculus revealed that it was not monophyletic with respect to a number of other recognized genera in the family – e.g. Ceratocephala, Halerpestes, Hamadryas, Laccopetalum, Myosurus, Oxygraphis, Paroxygraphis and Trautvetteria. The work revealed the need to separate Ficaria from Ranunculus, and both were added to the tribe Ranunculeae.

Toxicity 
All Ficaria and Ranunculus species are poisonous when eaten fresh by cattle, horses, and other livestock, but their acrid taste and the blistering of the mouth caused by their poison means they are usually left uneaten. Poisoning can occur where buttercups are abundant in overgrazed fields where little other edible plant growth is left, and the animals eat them out of desperation. Symptoms include bloody diarrhea, excessive salivation, colic, and severe blistering of the mouth, mucous membranes and gastrointestinal tract. When Ranunculus plants are handled, naturally occurring ranunculin is broken down to form protoanemonin, which is known to cause contact dermatitis in humans; care should therefore be exercised in extensive handling of the plants. The toxins are degraded by drying, so hay containing dried buttercups is safe.

 Ficaria ficarioides

Tops Records was a Los Angeles-based record label owned by Tops Music Enterprises, both founded in 1947 by Carl L. Doshay and Sam Dickerman.  After a prolific and profitable run, Tops merged with PRI Records in 1958, which in turn, sold to a group of investors in 1960, then went bankrupt in about 1962.  Its assets — which included a huge library of recordings — were sold to Pickwick Records, a label that had been its main competitor throughout the 1950s. Pickwick's assets were purchased by PolyGram Records in the late 1970s.
