He was a leader in creating the discipline of problem-solving, real-world psychological research known as applied behavior analysis. He created the Teaching Family Model as an intervention program for dealing with juvenile delinquents. He helped replicate this model almost 800 times. In the field of applied behavior analysis he introduced and named the concept of social validity.

Donald Baer, Sidney W. Bijou, Todd Risley, James Sherman, and Wolf established the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, in 1968 as a peer-reviewed journal publishing research about experimental analysis of behavior and its practical applications.

Niceforonia lucida is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Peru and known from the Cordillera Central west of the Apurímac River in the Ayacucho Region. Common name Cannatella's Andes frog has been coined for it. The specific name lucida refers to distinctive coloration of this frog relative to frogs in the genus Phrynopus, the genus where this species was initially placed. However, later studies have moved it to other genera where its colors are less distinctive.

Description
Males measure  and females  in snout–vent length. The snout is subacuminate in dorsal view and sloping in lateral profile. The canthus rostralis is sharp and slightly concave. The tympanum is visible and the supratympanic fold is prominent. Skin of the dorsum is smooth or slightly areolate; skin of venter is smooth. The fingers and toes have weak lateral fringes. The finger tips bear narrow discs. The toe discs have circumferential grooves. The dorsum is dark gray to brown with dark brown to black markings. Some individuals have tan to orange dorsolateral stripes. The groin and concealed surfaces of hind limbs are pale, dull orange (orange-red in males). The venter is gray or creamy white with gray flecks. The iris is crimson.

Habitat and conservation
Niceforonia lucida occurs in the wet paramo with puna grass, ferns, moss and lichens, and in upper humid montane forest at elevations of  above sea level. Specimens have been found at day under rocks. The species is threatened by habitat loss, primarily caused by clearance of land for agriculture.

In 1977 he was elected to the 14th Seanad on the Cultural and Educational Panel. At the 1981 general election he was returned to the 22nd Dáil as a TD for the Tipperary North constituency, where during the selection of candidates he had beaten future TD and Minister Michael Lowry for the Fine Gael nomination. He was re-elected at the February 1982 and November 1982 general elections. He supported the 1986 referendum to amend the Constitution of Ireland to remove the prohibition on divorce, and was denounced by priests in his constituency.

Mountview House Group Limited was a taxi holding company, based in Finsbury Park in the north London borough of Islington, comprising Radio Taxis, Xeta and One Transport. In 2016, it was acquired by Gett, Inc.

History
Originally formed in 1953 as Radio Taxicabs (Southern) Limited, a licensed hackney carriage owner-driver co-operative, which became Radio Taxicabs (London) Limited in 1973, the business demutualised in 2004, as Radio Taxis Group Limited.

The following year, the company acquired Xeta, a smaller niche private hire circuit and, in 2006/7, the One Transport platform, a nationwide ground transport management system, was developed.

In 2014, Radio Taxis Group became Mountview House Group, after a historical nickname deriving from the firm's original MOUntview 3232 telephone number.

Legal case
In the case of Radio Taxicabs (London) Ltd. v Owner Drivers Radio Taxi Services Ltd. [2004] RPC 351, a rival firm trading as Dial-a-Cab set up a website at www.dialacab.co.uk with a re-direct from www.radiotaxis.com. Radio Taxicabs, owner of the www.radiotaxis.co.uk domain, contended that this constituted actionable passing off. The judgement held that although Radio Taxicabs did have a reputation within the industry as "Radio Taxis," it did not have such a reputation amongst members of the general public and that the words were not distinctive of the business.

Credit union

Radio Taxicabs (London) Credit Union Limited was a savings and loans co-operative set up in 1987, to help London taxi drivers and their families access affordable credit and secure savings. It was a member of the Association of British Credit Unions Limited.

In 2013, the directors of Radio Taxicabs Credit Union approached London Capital Credit Union with a view to merger. In 2014, after 27 years of independent trading, members of the credit union unanimously voted in favour of the transfer of engagements and London Capital's common bond was extended to include employees of Mountview House Group.

The coinage of Nabataea began under the reign of Aretas II, c. 110 – 96 BC but it was his heir Aretas III, who at the time was in control of land extending to Damascus. The silver coinage is based on the weight of the Roman Denarius or Greek Drachma, as the adjacent areas around Nabataea used the Greek weight system, it is presumed the coins are of this standard. The local name of the denominations are not known so the Latin denarius and Greek drachma equivalents are used interchangeably.

Some authors state it to be based on the Phoenician drachmae instead on the Attic drachmae weight standard. Most common is the small bronze coinage of between 5–25 mm in diameter, which was in use at the same time as the coins of Judaea. The name of these coins is unknown but they do correspond with the common bronze coins issued at the time in the Greek area of influence.

Silver
With a weight of roughly 4.5 grams  the coins were issued by most of the kings, with the king and his wife on the obverse and either king or female figure on the reverse.
Denominations come in 1 Denarius/Drachmae  and a quarter  of the unit at a weight of 1 gram on average.

Some examples of coins are:
Meshorer 96,  4.555g, 15.0mm, 0o, Petra mint, 19 - 20 A.D.
Meshorer 103, aVF, usual flat strike, 3.88g, 14.3mm, 0o, Petra mint, 25 - 26 A.D.

Lead
Lead coins were issued with the king on one side and a bull or with a God (Nike?) on the other and sometimes the kings image replaced with a god (Zeus?)

Bronze and Copper
Usually depicting the king with or without his wife on the obverse and a crossed cornucopia on the reverse. Aretas usually wore a laureate and faced right, a veiled Queen Shuqailat behind him.

White Ninja is an animated webseries created by Scott Bevan and Kent Earle from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was previously a  webcomic that ran from 2002 to 2012 as part of the National Lampoon Humor Network. The comic was also part of Dayfree Press and ran exclusive strips on Cracked.com between August 2008 and April 2009. The comics were rebooted as a webseries, launched in 2015.

The White Ninja comic series had over 1300 comics in the archive and over 2000 fan-art submissions.

The comic went on hiatus after March 21, 2012. One new comic appeared on July 13, 2012, followed by another on August 14, though none have since followed.

A year later, on August 14, 2013, an announcement was posted on the White Ninja homepage stating that the series was "officially on hiatus" with an "official apology coming soon". It also stated, however, that the comic archive will remain open during the hiatus.

A year after that, in August 2014, the site officially went offline and replaced with a text saying "New comics coming soon". In September 2014, the URL redirected to another webcomic, Soopah, drawn by Tank T. Thomas.

In 2015, White Ninja was rebooted as an animated webseries, with original creator Bevan partnering with North of Now and Whiskaye Films. The series was the first webseries created specially for Vine with Bevan writing 25 of 60 episodes in its first run, with Paul Scheer starring. The trailer for the series was released on March 3, 2015, on the series' new website, www.whiteninjaseries.com. After the shutdown of Vine the series moved to the entertainment app Toonstar.

As of 2020, www.whiteninjaseries.com redirects to cuttheshirt.com. The reason for this is currently unknown.

Premise 
The series stars the titular ninja. He is always seen wearing a white ninja suit that includes a shirt with a hood that covers the entire head except his eyes. Despite his name and appearance, White Ninja is almost never seen to perform any martial arts, or even show an awareness of them - instead, he is commonly seen in some daily life routine or a far-fetched situation; either of which frequently end in non sequitur. There is no plot or continuity between strips, with each strip completely unrelated to the previous. Due to the surreal nature of the comic, many strips out-rightly contradict each other, with White Ninja's age, occupation, family, gender, shape and even species changing from one strip to the next.

Ghaf Makin is an abandoned settlement in Qatar, located in the municipality of Ash Shamal. In 1917, it was described as a Bedouin camping ground with 6 wells yielding good water. It was also mentioned that a ruined fort was located in its confines.

The landscape of Ghaf Makin is typified by its rawda. As such, the low elevation ensured that the area would flood during the wet season and aid in the development of the freshwater lens, which is attested to by its relative abundance of grasses and trees.
