Piscicola geometra is a species of leech in the family Piscicolidae. It is an external parasite of marine, brackish and freshwater fishes. It was first described as Hirudo geometra by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae in 1758.

Description
This leech can grow to a length of . It is pale brown, often with white transverse bands.

Distribution and habitat
This fish leech occurs in freshwater locations in the Holarctic and Neotropic regions and is found in northwestern Europe and in North America. It is also present in some marine environments such as the Baltic Sea where it mainly parasitises shorthorn sculpin and flounders. It occurs in both moving and stagnant water, but seems to prefer well-oxygenated water at the wave-washed edges of lakes and rapidly flowing streams and rivers.

Ecology
P. geometra is an ectoparasite of various fish species. Hosts include salmon (Salmo salar), brown trout (Salmo trutta), European eel (Anguilla anguilla), charr (Salvelinus alpinus), gudgeon (Gobio gobio), bream (Abramis brama), perch (Perca fluviatilis), Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio). The attachment site is on various parts of the body, on the gills or inside the mouth.

This leech can swim well and is attracted by the presence of a suitable fish in its vicinity. It feeds periodically, attaching itself to the fish's body with its sucking disc before puncturing its skin with its proboscis and sucking its blood. When satiated, it releases its grip and sinks to the bottom, hiding among stones or submerged plants while digesting its meal. It needs several blood meals before it can reproduce. The mid-gut and adjoining mycetomes (pouches), contain symbiotic bacteria which help with the digestion of blood, provide additional nutrients, and prevent the entry of pathogens.

Leeches are hermaphrodite and pair up to impregnate each other by hypodermic injection. The eggs are laid in dark brown cocoons which are cemented to submerged objects. After the eggs hatch, the juvenile leeches must seek out suitable fish hosts. The whole life cycle takes about four weeks to complete.

The University of Maryland School of Dentistry (abbreviated UMSOD), is the dental school of the University System of Maryland. It was founded as an independent institution, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, in 1840 and was the birthplace of the Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree. It is known as the first dental college in the world. It is headquartered at the University of Maryland, Baltimore campus. It is the only dental school in Maryland.

History 
 Related history: Harvard School of Dental Medicine > History
The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery (BCDS) was chartered by an act of the General Assembly of Maryland (state legislature) in 1840. Its co-founders, Doctors Horace H. Hayden and Chapin A. Harris have been both inducted in the Pierre Fauchard Academy Hall of Fame. Dr. Harris was the school's first dean and a professor of practical dentistry. Following the death of Dr. Hayden on January 25, 1844, he became the school's second president. The College is still in existence today and is part of the University of Maryland, Baltimore as one of its five professional graduate level schools.

The establishment of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery is seen as one of the three crucial steps in the foundation of the dental profession in the United States and the world.

Today, the University of Maryland School of Dentistry enjoys one of the most advanced dental education facilities in the world.  The new 12-story building on West Fayette Street on the westside of downtown Baltimore was completed in October 2006. The structure replaced a previous building on the site that was only three decades old. The total cost for the new establishment amounted to over $140 million dollars, the highest amount ever spent on an academic building by the State of Maryland.

The Skegemog Point Site, also known as the Samels Field Site or Samels Site and designated 20GT2, is an archaeological site located on the property of the Samels Farm at 8298 Skegemog Point Road, near Williamsburg, Michigan.  Material at the site spans over 10,000 years, and the site is unique in that, due to glacial rebound, it is horizontally stratified rather than vertically stratified.  The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

History
In 1889, Frank and Mary Samels purchased 64 acres of land on Skegemog Point, the peninsula separating Lake Skegemog from Elk Lake.  While farming the site, he discovered many Indian artifacts, arrow points and axes, as well as many mounds and pits along the lakeshore. In the 1920s, an archaeologist from the University of Michigan surveyed the site, and in 1930 department head Wilbert B. Hinsdale did further work. Frank Samels died in 1955, and passed the farm to his three sons Dennis, Ben, and Rob Samels.  In 1965, the Samels gave permission to Charles Cleland, Michigan State University Museum Curator, to excavate the site.  Cleland discovered evidence of a long history of habitation at the site.  In 1972, the site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In the 1990s, the Samels entered into an agreement with The Archaeological Conservancy to preserve the entire farm, including the archaeological site.  After the last of the Samels brothers died in 2002, the Conservancy leased the farm to a nonprofit group, the Samels Family Heritage Society, and it became an education center.

Description
The Skegemog Point Site includes artifacts from a range of time periods, including Paleo-Indian, Archaic, and Late Woodland periods.  The material at the site is primarily at or near the surface, and is spread over a  area on and below a beach terrace, and extending into the lake.  The site is horizontally stratified, with the Paleo-Indian section, dating to around 10,000 BCE, located at the highest elevation furthest from the lakeshore.  This is due to glacial rebound, where the underlying limestone slowly rises, changing the relative location of the lakeshore.  The Archaic section, dating to perhaps 3000 BCE, is located closer to the lakeshore, and the Late Woodland section, dating to around 900-1200 AD, is located nearest the shore.

The Late Woodland section of the site was partially excavated in the 1960s. It contains at least 26 hearth areas, as well as charcoal, potsherds, bone fragments and seeds.  It also contains multiple postmolds set in circular configurations of about  in diameter, suggesting temporary or seasonal wigwam-type structures.  The other portions of the site have not been extensively excavated, although Clovis points have been found in the older portion of the site.

Marie Kingué (fl. 1785) was a famous midwife, kaperlata medicine woman and voodoo priestess active in Saint Domingue. 

Marie Kingué was a slave, officially active as a midwife on a plantation outside Cap-Francais during the 1770s and 1780s.  She was famous all over the colony as a voodoo priestess and medicine woman.  She sold amulets and proposed magical services.  She also had many followers as well as pupils.  She was hired not only by the slaves, but also among white people and slave owners, who also believed in her purported powers. It was said that she knew the secrets of every plantation in her area.  She was often engaged by white slave owners to perform ceremonies in order to cure suspected so-called Macandal poisonings (named after Francois Macandal), in which slaves were suspected of committing suicides, or reveal slave conspiracies. She was a controversial figure and made friends as well as enemies among both slaves and slave owners, black, white and free people of color.  She was reported to the authorities in 1785 for quackery and accused of trying to encourage a slave rebellion, but hidden by her followers.

Malva alcea (greater musk-mallow, cut-leaved mallow, vervain mallow or hollyhock mallow) is a plant in the mallow family native to southwestern, central and eastern Europe and southwestern Asia, from Spain north to southern Sweden and east to Russia and Turkey.

Description
It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 50–125 cm tall, with stems covered in stellate hairs, meaning they branch at the free end into several strands. The leaves are 2–8 cm long and 2–8 cm broad, palmately lobed with five to seven blunt lobes; basal leaves on the lower stem are very shallowly lobed, those higher on the stems are deeply divided, with digitate finger-like lobes. The flowers appear singly near the apex of corymbose racemes growing from the leaf axils in summer to early fall. They are 3.5–6 cm diameter, with five sepals and five bright pink petals, and have no scent. The bracteoles that make up the epicalyx are ovate and wide at the base where they are fused with the calyx. The fruit is a hairless disc-shaped schizocarp 4–8 mm diameter, containing several seeds, the seeds individually enclosed in a glabrous or hairy mericarp. It has a chromosome count of 2n=84.

Ecology
It is most common in drier soils in thickets, along paths and in waste places. Natural hybrids with the closely related Malva moschata are occasionally found. In central Europe it grows at altitudes of up to 2,000 m.

Cultivation and uses
It has been widely grown outside of its native range as an ornamental plant. Several cultivars exist such as 'Fastigata', an upright form, and 'Alba', a white flowered form. In some areas, such as the northeastern United States, the plant has escaped from cultivation and become naturalised. It is very similar to, and often confused with Malva moschata.

The 2021–22 Miami RedHawks men's ice hockey season was the 44th season of play for the program and the 9th season in the NCHC conference. The RedHawks represented Miami University and were coached by Chris Bergeron, in his 3rd season.

Season
Miami opened the season with a solid performance but then saw its offense stall for much of the next two months. The RedHawks earned a surprising win over Omaha in early November but that was one of the only bright spots during the first half of the season. While their conference schedule was a murders row of ranked teams, the team couldn't get on track with its non-conference schedule, losing games to Long Island and Ferris State, two of the weakest teams in Division I hockey.

Ludvig Persson received the bulk of minutes in the crease despite fairly pedestrian performance. Even so, he was ill-served by a porous defense that allowed an average of more than 35 shots against per game. As a result, Miami was one of the worst defensive teams in the country. Only St. Thomas, who were playing their first season at the D-I level, allowed more goals.

The team's poor play continued through January, leaving the team with just a single conference win in sixteen matches. After a week off at the beginning of February, however, the RedHawks were able to recharge and sweep a series against the Mavericks, winning consecutive games for the first time in over a year. Even while losing five of their next six to end the regular season, the team kept the score close on most nights and appeared to have found some level of fight.

The late-season improvement did not prevent the team from finishing last in the conference. Miami was set against Denver in the NCHC quarterfinals and, predictably, did not fare well versus the #3 team in the country.
