Gladys Valerie (June 27, 1890 – September 1972) was an American singer and actress. She worked during the silent film era.

Life and career 
Valerie was born Gladys Valerie Hays, on 27 June 1890, in Wheeling, West Virginia.  She was the daughter of Rudolph A Hays and Edith Ida Hays, nee Koon.  She was raised and educated in New York City.

On the 30th June 1914, Gladys was married to Mark Barth, a teacher, in Manhattan.

In 1919, Valerie sang at a benefit concert for blind soldiers. In the Harrisburg Telegraph, it was written that  "Gladys Valerie sang at a concert given for the benefit of blind soldiers, and judging by the warm reception which the audience accorded her, Miss Valerie's voice has lost none of its original beauty since her sojourn in the silent drama. Miss Valerie sang on the operatic stage before taking up picture work."

In a November 1919 issue of Motion Picture News, it was written that "Gladys Valerie was somewhat surprised recently by the noticeable enthusiasm and pleasure evinced by a certain young lieutenant who had just returned from overseas, upon being presented to Miss Valerie. She ventured to ask the reason for his somewhat unusually cordial acknowledgement of the introduction, and was very much astonished to learn that she was considered the "Best Girl" of Company D - 105 Artillery A. E. F. It seems that when a picture show was given in camp, each company adopted some screen luminary who appealed to the voters as their "Best Girl" and Miss Valerie had been chosen by this lieutenant's company for that distinction."

In a December 1919 issue of Motion Picture News, it was written that "Gladys Valerie selected a certain dress from a wholesale house the other day. Hardly had the dress reached home, than Miss Valerie was called to the telephone, and an interested voice asked whether they might name the spring models that they intended making from the one she chose, the Gladys Valerie frocks. Miss Valeria, with her usual graciousness, replied that she had no objection whatever."

In 1922-1923 Valerie appeared on stage in the play "Tiger Lily,"  which featured actor Sessue Hayakawa in the leading role.    

In 1932 it was reported that Gladys Valerie was working at the WINS radio station, acting multiple parts in sketches which she had also written and produced.  

According to the 1940 US Census, Valerie had no occupation, but in the 1950 US Census, she was working in the advertising industry.

Dorothy Frances Blomfield (1858–1932) was an English hymn-writer and poet.

Life
Known as Dora, she was the  daughter of Frederick George Blomfield, Rector of St Andrew Undershaft in the City of London. She was a granddaughter of Charles James Blomfield, who was Bishop of London from 1828 to 1856; niece to the architect Sir Arthur Blomfield and Alfred Blomfield, Bishop of Colchester from 1882 to 1894; and cousin of the geologist Francis Arthur Bather.

"A shy, devout girl with an inner passion for nature and began writing short poems at an early age."

She married the actor Gerald Gurney in 1897; he was the son of Archer Thompson Gurney (1820–1887), a Church of England clergyman and hymnodist. In 1904 her husband was ordained a priest of the Church of England. In 1919 Dorothy and her husband joined the Roman Catholic Church.

Works
Gurney's Poems (London: Country Life, 1913) include "In God's Garden", "Moon Spell (or Dolly)" in 1882; "Shearing Day", "To the Immortals" and "Waggon Bells" in 1883; " Grandpapa's Wooing" in 1885; "Daffodil Time" in 1886; "Love's Service" in 1888; "When the gorse is all in blossom" in 1889; "Down here the lilacs fade" in 1893; and "North Country Songs" with Strang and Hadley in 1894.

With reference to the words of the hymn "O Perfect Love", written in 1883 for the wedding of her sister in the Lake District she quoted her sister as saying "What is the use of a sister who composes poetry if she cannot write new words to a favourite tune? I would like to use the tune at my wedding." Dora picked up a hymn book and said "If no-one will disturb me I will go in to the library and see what I can do". The tune in question was "Strength and Stay", composed in 1875 by John Bacchus Dykes. The words were subsequently set as an anthem, by Joseph Barnby, for the 1889 wedding of Alexander Duff, 1st Duke of Fife and Louise, Princess Royal.

The woolly hare (Lepus oiostolus) is a species of mammal in the family Leporidae. It is found in western and central China, northern India, and Nepal, where its typical habitat is montane grassland. It has a wide range and is present in some protected areas but is a generally uncommon species; the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".

Description
The woolly hare grows to a length of . The coat is moulted just once a year.

Distribution and habitat

The woolly hare is native to Central Asia. Its range extends from northern Nepal, and Jammu and Kashmir and Sikkim in India, to western and central China, where it is present in the provinces of Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan, Tibet, Xinjiang and Yunnan. The habitat of this hare is mainly high altitude grasslands of several types; Alpine meadows, shrubby meadows and upland cold deserts, but it also occurs in coniferous or mixed montane woodland. Its altitudinal range is from  above sea level.

Ecology
The woolly hare is a shy and usually solitary animal, and although sometimes active by day, it is mostly nocturnal. It feeds on grasses and herbs, with individual animals returning regularly at night to the same foraging areas. During the day it sometimes rests in the sun in a sheltered position. The breeding season starts in April, with two litters of between four and six young being produced each year.

Status
The woolly hare has a wide range but is a generally uncommon species, and its population is described as "very low except in a few favoured areas". It is hunted for its meat and fur, and in some areas suitable habitat is being destroyed, resulting in fragmenting of populations and the inability of individuals to make local migrations. In Nepal and China it is present in some protected areas. Overall, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern" but in India it is considered "endangered".

The Russian Church (), officially known as the Church of St Nicholas the Miracle-Maker (, ), is a Russian Orthodox church in central Sofia, Bulgaria situated on Tsar Osvoboditel Boulevard.

History and architecture
The church was built on the site of the Saray Mosque, which was destroyed in 1882, after the liberation of Bulgaria by Russia from the Ottoman Empire. It was built as the official church of the Russian Embassy, which was located next door, and of the Russian community in Sofia, and was named, as was the tradition for diplomatic churches, for the patron saint of the Emperor who ruled Russia at the time, Nicholas II of Russia. The church was designed by the Russian architect Mikhail Preobrazhenski in the style of Russian Revival architecture, with decoration inspired by the Muscovite Russian churches of the 17th century. The construction was supervised by the architect A. Smirnov, who was building the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral nearby.  The exterior decoration of multicolored  tiles was done by G. Kislichev, and the interior murals were painted by a team of artists led by Vasily Perminov, who also painted those in Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. The five domes are coated with gold.  The bells were donated by Emperor Nicholas II.

Construction began in 1907 and the church was consecrated in 1914.  The church remained open after the Russian Revolution and during the Communist period in Bulgaria (1944–1989), though priests and church-goers were carefully watched by the State Security police.

The exterior was recently restored by the Russian Government. The interior murals are darkened by smoke from candles and from time, and are in need of restoration.

The crypt housing the remains of Saint Archbishop Seraphim is located beneath the Russian Church's main floor. Dozens of people still visit the grave of the archbishop, who died in 1950, praying and leaving notes asking for wishes to be granted.

Carl Georg Ferdinand Thielemann (8 March 1803 – 13 May 1863) was a Danish architect and royal building inspector during the 19th century. Thielemann was the brother of sculptors Christian and Theobald Thielemann and was born in Copenhagen. He studied architecture in 1819–20 at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under the tutelage of Christian Frederik Hansen. Thielemann was mainly taught the Neoclassical style but during the 1880s Historicism flourished and he adapted to the new style. After graduation Thielemann worked for Christian Frederik Hansen and Gustav Friedrich Hetsch as a conductor for their projects.

In 1851 Thielemann replaced Michael Gottlieb Bindesbøll as royal building inspector of Jutland and Fuenen. His tenure was notable for his careful treatment of old buildings. Thielemann frequently re-used the original materials during restoration projects and preferred to rebuild in the original style. His best known remaining works are the main building of Vilhelmsborg Manor (1843) and the old Aarhus city hall (1857–58). Thielemann also drew up plans for an expansion of Jydske Asyl which was initially rejected as being too expensive but during the 1856-57 expansion the designs were incorporated into the project by the architect Ferdinand Meldahl on behest of Carl Emil Fenger.

Naukograd (, also technopole), meaning "science city", is a formal term for towns with high concentrations of research and development facilities in Russia and the Soviet Union, some specifically built by the Soviet Union for these purposes. Some of the towns were secret and were part of a larger system of closed cities in the USSR, many built by forced labour from the Soviet Gulag. In the Russian Federation in post-Soviet times, the term is used generally for about seventy towns that have concentrations of scientific research and production, and specifically, refers to a small number of towns that have been recognised for their scientific capabilities and hence get special privileges.

Of the more general naukograds, about thirty are located in Moscow Oblast and the rest mainly in the Volga, Urals, and Siberian regions. Few are now "closed" — there are only ten closed nuclear towns where Russia's nuclear military work is still carried out. Some still have military connections, such as Fryazino, where advanced radio and electronics devices are developed, but most are now focusing on civilian work with the help of Western aid funds. Some naukograds are operated by the Russian Academy of Sciences, including Pushchino, a biological sciences center, and Chernogolovka, a center for physics and chemistry. Zelenograd (a city and an administrative district of Moscow located forty kilometres from the city centre) is the Russian center for research, education and production in the electronics area.

The first town to be officially designated "naukograd" in 2000 was Obninsk, a town with many nuclear and other special materials, meteorological and medical research facilities. Two others followed in 2001: Dubna, an international nuclear research centre and Korolyov, where many space research facilities are located. In 2003 Koltsovo, near Akademgorodok, originally the home of the biowarfare centre Vector but now a centre for pharmaceutical and medical research, Reutov, Fryazino, Michurinsk were also granted the status of naukograd. At least 14 towns have been granted the designation of naukograd.

Phoracantha recurva, the lesser Eucalyptus longhorn, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is widespread in many countries and in the early 2000s it was also observed in Sardinia, perhaps brought by a ship.

Description
This medium-sized beetle features a complex pattern of cream and brown markings.

It is similar to the related P. semipunctata, but differs in the smaller size and more limited dark markings. Unlike that species the basal portion of the elytra appears dominantly pale, with only a few separated dark spots instead of a series of closer markings.
