The Charles Torrey House is a single-family house located at 1141 Foxwood Court in Birmingham, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

History
Charles Torrey was born in 1804 near in Madison County, New York. In 1830, he married Mary Van De Water. In 1833, the Torreys settled in Auburn, Michigan (now part of Auburn Hills, and in 1834 purchased this section of land in Bloomfield Township. Charles Torrey, however, had other vocations, as a carpenter and cabinet maker, and eventually as a sawmill owner, and he elected to continue living in Auburn. The family stayed there until 1848, when they sold their house there and moved to the farm. This was likely the year that the house was built on the property, although the sections of the house that are now in the rear may pre-date 1848. Charles and Mary Torrey lived here until Mary's death in 1879. In 1881, Charles divided his property among his three daughters, but continued to live in the house until 1883, when he moved in with his daughter Elmira and her husband Philander Walton.

Charles Torrey died in 1891, and in 1892 Philander Walton purchased the Charles Torrey farmstead from Torrey's youngest daughter, Theresa Torrey Scott, who lived out of state. Elmira Walton died in 1897, and in 1902 Philander Walton moved into the Torrey farmstead for the summer, maintaining a residence in Pontiac for the winter. Walton died in 1906, passing the farmstead to his daughter Alice Walton Howard. She sold the Torrey farm to real estate speculator William Hendrie in 1916, who used it as a weekend retreat. He later subdivided the surrounding land, and by 1986 the house had only a 2.6 acre parcel associated with it.

Description
The Charles Torrey House is a 1-1/2 story post-and-beam Greek Revival house with a rear ell. The main section is symmetrical, and five bays wide. There is a central entry portico supported by square Doric columns. The entry door is flanked with triple light sidelights and topped with a transom. Two six-over-six, double-hung windows are on each side of the door. Five frieze windows are above.

On the inside, the entryway leads to a vestibule, with a formal parlor to one side and an informal parlor to the other. The dining room, containing the stairs to the second story, is behind. Two bedrooms and a bathroom are upstairs.

Hei tä bebi (literally, "bottom layer") is the lowest of the four layers in the  Ya̧nomamö cosmos. According to Ya̧nomamö tradition, hei tä bebi was created after a piece of hedu kä misi (heaven) fell onto Hei kä misi (earth). The falling piece of hedu knocked a hole into hei kä misi, creating a hole and dislodging a swathe of earth which fell below forming hei tä bebi.

When this fell through hei kä misi it took with it the garden and shabono (village) of Ama̧hiri-teri, but it did not take the surrounding jungle. As a result, the landscape of Hei tä bebi is barren and desolate. The people and village of Ama̧hiri-teri got trapped there, and as a result were forced to turn to cannibalism. Using their spiritual powers, they capture the souls of children from hei kä misi for food.

William Thomas Reid (November 8, 1843 – December 17, 1922) was an American educator who served as the Fourth President of the University of California from 1881 to 1885.

Early life
Reid was born on November 8, 1843 on a farm outside Jacksonville, Illinois. He entered Illinois College in 1859 but left in 1861 to join the Union Army.

Mount Witherspoon is a 12,012-foot-elevation (3,661 meter) glaciated summit located  northwest of Valdez in the Chugach Mountains of the U.S. state of Alaska. It's set on land managed by Chugach National Forest. This remote mountain, fifth-highest in the Chugach range, is situated  northwest of Mount Einstein, with the heads of Yale Glacier and Columbia Glacier between the summits. It is the second-highest peak in the Dora Keen Range, which is the 25-miles-long divide separating Harvard Glacier from Yale Glacier. The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1928 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to honor David C. Witherspoon, a U.S. Geological Survey topographer for 30 years, "who at the time of his retirement in 1921 had mapped a greater area of Alaska than any other man." The first ascent of Mount Witherspoon was made June 25, 1957, by David Bohn, Arthur Maki, Jr., Martin Mushkin, and Lawrence E. Nielsen.

Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Witherspoon is located in a subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Weather systems coming off the Gulf of Alaska are forced upwards by the Chugach Mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. Temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports the Harvard, Yale, and Columbia Glaciers surrounding this mountain. The months May through June offer the most favorable weather for climbing or viewing.

John Talaia was patriarch of Alexandria from 481 until 482.

He was consecrated in 481, succeeding Timothy III Salophakiolos.

He was a convinced adherent of the Council of Chalcedon and refused to sign Emperor Zeno's Henoticon (which glossed over the Council of Chalcedon). Because of this, the Emperor expelled him and recognized the Miaphysite claimant Peter Mongus as the legitimate patriarch on the condition that he would sign the Henoticon. Mongus complied and was recognized by the patriarchs of Antioch and Constantinople.

John fled to Rome, where he was welcomed by Pope Simplicius. This pope, or his successor Felix III, refused to recognize Mongus and defended Talaia's rights in two letters to Acacius of Constantinople. As Acacius maintained the Henoticon and communion with Mongus, the pope excommunicated the patriarchs in 484. This Acacian schism lasted until 519.

John eventually relinquished his claim to the see of Alexandria and became bishop of Nola.

Wren came with his parents to Los Angeles when he was 12 years old and never traveled farther than thirty miles from that city in his lifetime. He was educated in Santa Monica, California, or Los Angeles city schools. He married Jane I. Graham of Pasadena, California, in 1902 and on their fifteenth wedding anniversary they had a daughter, Gene Ethelyn, or Bebe.

David Burgess-Joyce (born 25 February 1964) was the Chief Officer of Merseyside Police Special Constabulary. He served from 1982 to his ill-health retirement in 2014. He was Head of Organisation Development for the Serious Organised Crime Agency from 2004 until he resigned in 2013 however the agency stated he was dismissed for misconduct. 

Since leaving office Burgess-Joyce entered local politics, being elected Conservative councillor for the Greasby, Frankby and Irby ward in 2015 and 2019.  In 2016 he stood for Police and Crime Commissioner but came second with 20% of the vote. 

He once compared the rhetoric of David Lammy MP to causing as much damage to community cohesion as the KKK.

In July 2022, he was deselected by the Conservative Party following his deeply offensive comments about Labour frontbencher David Lammy, meaning that he will not defend the Greasby, Frankby and Irby ward as a Conservative candidate. In February 2023 he was selected to stand in the Heswall ward In March 2023 he was prevented from standing by the Conservative Party after a request was made to the national party. Burgess-Joyce claims, without evidence, that this is a result of "dark forces" in the Conservative Party

In March 2023, he described the Liberal Democrat party during a Council meeting as “taking bribes", resulting in a formal complaint being made, but which was subsequently dropped. 

In May 2023, Burgess-Joyce again stood for councillor in the Greasby, Frankby and Irby ward, as an Independent candidate. He lost, coming eleventh out of twelve candidates, with 1% of the vote.

Sarangesa gaerdesi, commonly known as the Namibian elfin, is a species of butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It is found in Namibia. The habitat consists of dry savanna.

The adult wing colouration matches the colour of the leaves of the larval host plants and adults of both sexes feed from the flowers of these plants. They are possibly on wing year round, but are most common in midsummer. Subspecies smithae has been recorded from August to October and in late February.

The larvae of subspecies gaerdesi feed on Petalidium engleranum and the larvae of subspecies smithae on Petalidium variabile.

Sarangesa gaerdesi gaerdesi - northern and central Namibia
Sarangesa gaerdesi smithae Vári, 1976 - south-central Namibia
