Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber (17 January 1739 in Weißensee, Thuringia – 10 December 1810 in Erlangen), often styled J.C.D. von Schreber, was a German naturalist.

Career
He was appointed professor of materia medica at the University of Erlangen in 1769.

In 1774, he began writing a multivolume set of books entitled Die Säugethiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen, which focused on the mammals of the world. Many of the animals included were given a scientific name for the first time, following the binomial system of Carl Linnaeus. From 1791 until his death in 1810, he was the president of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. He was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1787. In April 1795, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society Numerous honors were bestowed on him, including the office of an imperial count palatine.

Schreber also wrote on entomology, notably  Schreberi Novae Species Insectorvm. His herbarium collection has been preserved in the Botanische Staatssammlung München since 1813.

Vagrauta also known as Vagrautensis was a Roman and Byzantine era settlement in the Berber kingdom of Numidia. The site has not been satisfactorily identified though it is in modern Algeria.

Bishopric of Vagrauta
The town was the seat of an ancient diocese. Its one known bishop, Marcellenius, took part in the Council of Carthage (484) held by the Vandal king Huneric. He was later exiled.

The bishopric ceased to function with the arrival of the Umayyad Caliphate in the 7th century. In 1933, the diocese was reestablished in name as a titular see. There have been 4 bishops since then including long-term bishop Geoffrey Ignatius Burke and George Leo Thomas. The current bishop is Juan Frausto Pallares who replaced Cornelio Galleo Wigwigan in December 2005.

Timeline of longest spaceflights is a chronology of the longest spaceflights. Many of the first flights set records measured in hours and days, the space station missions of the 1970s and 1980s pushed this to weeks and months, and by the 1990s the record was pushed to over a year and has remained there into the 21st century.

A modern long-duration mission was the ISS year long mission (2015–2016) aboard the International Space Station. The most significant issue in such missions is the effects of spaceflight on the human body, due to such factors as zero-g and elevated radiation.

Al-Rumayṣāʾ bint Milḥān (; died  650 CE; 28 AH), popularly known by her kunya as Umm Sulaym, was one of the earliest women converts to Islam in Yathrib (now Medina). Umm Sulaym was first married to Malik ibn an-Nadr and her son by this marriage was Anas ibn Malik, a notable companion of Muhammad.

Following the death of her first husband, Abu Talha al-Ansari resolved to become engaged to her before anyone else did. He was confident that Umm Sulaym would not pass him over for another. He was quite rich, an accomplished horseman, and a skilful archer and he belonged to the same clan as Umm Sulaym, the Banu Najjar. But she refused. Abu Talha did not take no for an answer. He asked her if there was someone more worthy for her than him, and she explained that she was a Muslim and could not marry a polytheist. He accepted Islam and they were married, and she started educating him in Islam. Abu Talhah became a devout Muslim who loved to be in the company of Muhammad. Abu Talhah died while he was on a naval expedition during the time of the caliph Uthman, and was buried at sea.

Aimee Louw is a disabled activist, writer, and radio host currently living in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She works to fight ableism and her work is informed by queer and feminist theory. She studied Political Science at Concordia University. She has presented at conferences at both McGill University and York University about her research on social movements and disability rhetoric. She works for Cinema Politica, cofounded Accessibilize Montreal, and co-hosts the radio show Native Solidarity News. She has also spoken on the radio show Talking Radically. She is the creator of the zine and tumblr Underwater City Project. She has been published in the Montreal Gazette.

Underwater City Project
Underwater City Zine 1: Searching for the Most Accessible City in Canada details Louw's travels to different cities in Canada. The zine is a reflection on living with limited mobility and the accessibility of various cities. The zine is composed of journals and conversations with other disabled people. The name is inspired by Louw's idea that an underwater city would be an accessible utopia for all people.

Challenging the Société de transport de Montréal
Louw has been vocal about ablecentrist practices of the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). She has filed a complaint for getting caught in a turnstile while in a wheelchair and also filed a complaint when a bus driver refused to lower the bus ramp for her. Louw demanded answers, supported by other activists, for the second incident at an STM monthly meeting when she pointed out that an early STM report said that ramps only work half the time.

Lagunita is an ancient Maya city, located in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico. It was identified in August 2014, along with Tamchen, by Ivan Sprajc, associate professor at the Research Center of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and his team, after they reviewed aerial photographs of the area. The identification was made with the use of aerial photographs. 

The site was visited in the 1970s by the Swiss archaeologist Eric Von Euw, who documented the facade and other monuments with drawings. However, the exact location of the city, which Von Euw referred to as Lagunita, had been unclear until 2013. All other attempts at locating it had failed.

Technomancer is a studio album by American electronic musician Pictureplane. It was released by Anticon on October 30, 2015. Music videos were created for "Self Control", "Technomancer", "Death Condition", and "Joyrider".

Production
Most of the album was created using the Access Virus synthesizer. Pictureplane also used an old desktop computer. Brad Hoss, Dre Skull, D Gookin, and Lars Stafford helped engineer the album. "Self Control" and "Live Forever" featured guest vocalist Grace Hall.

Pictureplane described it as "an album about our current relationship with technology and how it is defining our existence right now." The title of the album refers to "someone who uses technology for magical purposes."

Critical reception

Derek Staples of Spectrum Culture gave the album a 2.75 out of 5, calling it "an amalgam of androgynous lyricism, shoegaze electronics, second-wave acid techno and downtempo darkwave." Matt James of PopMatters gave the album 7 stars out of 10, saying: "It's anarchic, noisy, sweaty, somewhat scrappy at times, but a ton of fun."

Writing for Under the Radar, Tamaryn included it on her "Top 12 Albums of 2015" list.

The Oškinis BRO-11 was a primary glider designed in the USSR. It was produced in large numbers from the 1950s.

Design and development

The Oškinis BRO-11 was a simple, single-seat primary glider in the open girder style exemplified by the pre-war SG 38 Schulgleiter. It was more refined, with slotted ailerons and somewhat better-protected seating.

Its high wing, mounted on top of the fuselage girder, was rectangular in plan and built around a single, wooden spar with plywood skin ahead of it, forming a torsion-resistant D-box, and fabric covering behind. The wing was braced to the bottom fuselage beam with a single strut on each side, assisted by drag wires from the nose. Narrow and very high aspect ratio ailerons were hung behind and below the whole trailing edge, leaving a slot between wing and aileron.

The wing of the original production model, named Pionier, Lithuanian for Pioneer (or Pionerius, the plural) had a span of  and an area of . The later Zylė (), alternatively known as the LAK-2, had a slightly larger wing with a span of  and an area of , improving the glide ratio a little.

The forward part of the fuselage was a wooden beam which extended aft to end under the wing trailing edge. At the nose there was a simple, semi-circular enclosure formed from two single-curvature surfaces. This gave the pilot, seated just under the leading edge, some protection from the wind, though not for his upper body or sides. The same beam was attached to the wing with an N-form cross-member and also carried the forward end of the horizontal upper fuselage member. The rear lower member ran upwards to meet the upper one at the tail. In addition, they were interconnected at mid-fuselage by a pair of vertical and diagonal struts. Immediately ahead of the tail the fuselage was fabric covered, though not elsewhere.

Both variants had triangular tailplanes mounted on the upper frame with elevators which were rectangular in plan apart from a cut-out for rudder movement.  Their little, triangular fins carried rather angular, quadrilateral rudders.

The fuselages of the Pionier and Zylė differed only in their landing gear. The Pionier landed on the underside of the forward beam but the Zylė had a monowheel semi-recessed into its beam below the forward wing and a short nose skid.

Operational history

The BRO-11 Pionier was very widely used across the DOSAAF; some 2000 were built between about 1955 and 1960. The date of the first flight of the Zile is not known exactly but was about 1968. Production began in mid-1969 and ended in 1979. Production numbers for this variant are not known.

The Society for Experimental Biology is a learned society for animal, cell and plant biologists. It was founded in 1923 at Birkbeck College to "promote the art and science of experimental biology in all its branches". It aims to demonstrate the importance and impact of experimental biology research to the wider public and within the scientific community and to connect and support experimental biologists in their research and career development. The society has an international membership of approximately 1500, more than 20 scientific special interest groups and an outreach, education, and diversity (OED) group.

Activities 
The main activities of the society are the organisation and sponsorship of scientific meetings, the publication of relevant research, and the promotion of development of experimental biologist through education, communication, and career development programmes.

The society organises one large meeting each year, plus a number of smaller meetings. The main meeting is held in the United Kingdom or continental Europe and has up to 1000 attendees, with three plenary lectures (the Bidder, Woolhouse, and Cell Plenary Lectures) and nine parallel sessions.

Its publications include four peer-reviewed scientific journals: the Journal of Experimental Botany published by Oxford University Press, The Plant Journal (),  published with Wiley-Blackwell, Plant Biotechnology Journal (, co-owned with the Association of Applied Biologists and published by Wiley-Blackwell) and an open access journal established in 2013, Conservation Physiology (), published on behalf of the society by Oxford University Press.

The society is administered from its head office at Charles Darwin House in London, shared with the Royal Society of Biology, with an additional office in Lancaster which hosts the management team of the Journal of Experimental Botany and the society's Head of Education. It is funded through income from publications, investments, and member subscriptions. The freely available SEB Magazine has generally appeared in Spring and Autumn, since 2012.

Taukina seamounts are a series of seamounts on the Pacific Plate. The Macdonald hotspot and the Ngatemato seamounts are located nearby. The Taukina and Ngatemato seamounts were discovered in 1996 by the RV Maurice Ewing and both are named after families in Rapa Iti.

The Taukina seamounts are formed by small volcanoes, with heights of  and widths of . They often feature a caldera on their summit. Tholeiitic rocks make up the seamounts.

The shape of the Taukina seamounts resembles that of the seamounts that form on the East Pacific Rise. An alternate theory of origin is that the Ngatemato seamounts deformed the Pacific plate enough with their weight to trigger the eruption of magma.

The term 3-6-3 Rule describes how the United States retail banking industry operated from the 1950s to the 1980s.  The name 3-6-3 refers to the impression that bankers had a stable, comfortable existence by paying 3 percent interest on deposits, lending money out at 6 percent, and being able to "tee off at the golf course by 3 p.m."

The implication was that the banks were less competitive during that period than in subsequent years due to tight regulations that limited the formation and location of banks as well as restrictions on interest rates that could be charged or paid.  As a result, bankers had "power and prestige ... while profits were steady and certain".  These regulations were loosened in the 1980s.

Richmond Federal Reserve senior economist John R. Walter argues that, although there is evidence that restrictions on banks before the 1980s did limit the competitiveness of banking markets and thereby granted some banks monopoly power, "the regulatory restrictions probably had a limited effect on competition" during the time in question.  Chicago Federal Reserve researchers Robert DeYoung and Tara Rice argue that, "Like most good jokes, the 3-6-3 rule mixes a grain of truth with a highly simplified view of reality."

The rule has been noted positively following the late-2000s financial crisis as a preferable way for banks to operate following the bailout of major banks.

Australia's banking system, which was deregulated in the 1990s in a manner similar to that in the U.S., also came to be characterized in the same way as did the United Kingdom's.
