William Edward Brandon (September 21, 1914 – April 11, 2002) was an American writer and historian best known for his work about Native Americans and the American West.

Early life 
Brandon was born in Kokomo, Indiana, but spent his childhood in various locales, including the Yucatán and New Mexico. He held a brief job in a steel mill, before he began working as a professional writer in 1938, although this was interrupted by his service as a photographer for the United States Army Air Forces in the Pacific Theater during World War II.

Works 
Brandon published a variety of short fiction, essays, and poetry, which appeared initially in pulp magazines such as Black Mask, and Detective Fiction Weekly, but subsequently in prominent publications such as Esquire, The Atlantic Monthly, The Paris Review, The Saturday Evening Post, and Reader's Digest.

By the 1950s, he began pursuing his interest in non-fiction writing and in 1955 produced an account of John Charles Frémont's 1848 attempt to cross the Rocky Mountains in his book The Men and the Mountain.

Although Brandon's formal education ended after high school, his scholarship was sufficiently respected that he was from 1966–1967 a visiting professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and later conducted a seminar series on Native American literature at California State College in Long Beach, California.

Death and legacy 
Brandon died in Clearlake, California, on April 11, 2002, of cancer. His last book, The Rise and Fall of North American Indians: From Prehistory Through Geronimo, was published posthumously the year after his death.

Little Klickitat Falls is a  waterfall that flows from Little Klickitat River, a tributary of Klickitat River, approximately 1095 feet above sea level, located in the U.S. state of Washington. Shortly downstream Little Klickitat River joins the Blockhouse Creek on the basalt tabletop of Horseshoe Bend canyon. While flow runs dry in the early season, Little Klickitat Falls may reach up to 100 feet wide in the flood seasons. Little Klickitat Falls is located north of Interstate 84 in the heart of steep canyons in central Klickitat County.

Location 
Little Klickitat Falls is located south of State Route 142 as it runs a west–east route towards Goldendale. The waterfall is west of U.S. Route 97, which runs along the eastern boundary of Goldendale while Interstate 84 and State Route 14 are approximately  south.

Little Klickitat Falls is found on private land along the course of Little Klickitat River a few yards before it makes tributary with Blockhouse Creek and Blockhouse Falls. Klickitat River runs through a high desert canyon that can be reached by way of Patch Lane from the East or Tupper Road from the West. The waterfall is wide at high flow and is runnable by Kayak down Little Klickitat River at flood flow levels down the far right or far left of the waterfall. The middle of the falls have several shallow spots on the bedrock for middle approaches. Several white water spots are found upstream leading to the waterfall. Access can be found upstream of Little Klickitat River on Olson Rd off Hwy 142. Further East there is a parking area downstream a bridge off Hill Rd/Esteb Rd, approximately 10 miles upstream from the waterfall.

Elections to Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (Western Isles council) were held on 3 May 2007, the same day as the other Scottish local government elections and the Scottish Parliament general election. The election was the first one using 9 new wards created as a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, each ward elected three or four councillors using the single transferable vote system form of proportional representation. The new wards replaced 31 single-member wards which used the plurality (first past the post) system of election.

The large majority of the seats were held by independent candidates, similar to other predominantly rural Scottish councils.  The Scottish National Party and Scottish Labour Party had a small representation each, and the Scottish Liberal Democrats stood four candidates, all of whom were unsuccessful.

Carcinosarcomas are malignant tumors that consist of a mixture of carcinoma (or epithelial cancer) and sarcoma (or mesenchymal/connective tissue cancer). Carcinosarcomas are rare tumors, and can arise in diverse organs, such as the skin, salivary glands, lungs, the esophagus, pancreas, colon, uterus and ovaries.

Cellular origins
Four main hypotheses have been proposed for the cellular origins of carcinosarcoma, based largely on the pathology of the disease. First, the collision tumor hypothesis, which proposes the collision of two independent tumors resulting in a single neoplasm, based on the observation that skin cancers and superficial malignant fibrous histiocytomas are commonly seen in patients with sun-damaged skin; second, the composition hypothesis, which suggests that the mesenchymal component represents a pseudosarcomatous reaction to the epithelial malignancy; third, the combination hypothesis, which suggests that both the epithelial and mesenchymal components of the tumor arise from a common pluripotential stem cell that undergoes divergent differentiation; and fourth, the conversion/divergence hypothesis, which argues that the sarcomatous component of the tumor represents a metaplastic sarcomatous transformation of the epithelial component. Despite the remaining uncertainty on the mechanisms that generate these tumors, recent immunohistochemical, ultrastructural, and molecular genetic studies suggest and favor the notion of monoclonality in carcinosarcoma. In addition, identical p53 and KRAS mutations have been identified in both epithelial and mesenchymal components of carcinosarcoma, findings that suggest an early alteration in the histogenesis of the tumor with late transformation or degeneration of the epithelial component into the sarcomatous component.

Karl Friedrich Ludwig von Watzdorf (1 September 1759 – 16 May 1840) was a Saxon general and diplomat.
He was born in Plauen and fought in the French Revolutionary Wars from 1793 to 1796. When in 1806 Saxony supported Napoleon, he took part in battles on the French side.

Watzdorf was an envoy in 1812 and 1813 in Vienna, where he signed a treaty of alliance with Austria on behalf of Saxony, which no longer supported the French. He acted as an intermediary from 1813 to 1815 between Dresden and Berlin, where he was imprisoned by Saxon king Frederick Augustus I of Saxony. Unsuccessfully sought his release, then sent the same request to the rulers of Prussia, Russia, and Austria, also to no avail. He later toured London, Frankfurt, and Paris, arguing that Saxony was not an enemy of the victorious countries, and entered into an alliance with Napoleon of necessity. He gave a great contribution to restoring Saxon relations with coalition countries.

Later he was entrusted with the education of successors to the Saxon throne.

He served as envoy from 1827 to 1834 in Berlin, where in 1834 signed a customs contract with Prussia, upon which was built after the German Customs Union (Zollverein). In 1835, Watzdorf was appointed Minister of the Royal House. He died in Dresden.

Family
Watzdorf married Marie, Baroness von Sticks who died in 1800. In 1804 he married Charlotte Henriette Gräfin von Hopffgarten (died 1864). He had 3 daughters and three sons, of whom Anton a  Prussian lieutenant-colonel, fell at the Battle of Waterloo.

Lewis Carroll Epstein is the author of layman's books on physics that use an idiosyncratic mix of cartoons and single-page brain teasers to pull the reader into advanced concepts in classical mechanics, quantum theory, and relativity.

His books "Thinking Physics" and "Thinking Physics is Gedanken Physics" have been republished for almost 30 years, the former being on the Exploratorium recommended science reading list.  He credits his teaching style to experience presenting technical testimony to trial juries and congressional hearings. 
Note: Unfortunately, Mr. Epstein does not give any credit to his co-author and the book's illustrator, Paul G. Hewitt.

Ji Xiaocheng (; 2 November 1923 – 23 October 2019) was a Chinese paediatrician who served as Director of Paediatrics at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. In the early 1980s, he introduced perinatal medicine to China from the United States, and co-founded China's first neonatal intensive care unit at PUMC Hospital.

Biography 
Ji Xiaocheng was born in November 1923 in Renqiu, Hebei, Republic of China. He studied at Beijing Medical College under professor Zhu Futang, and graduated in 1948. He went to the Soviet Union in 1955 to study at the Leningrad Institute of Paediatrics, where he earned an associate doctor degree three and half years later.

Ji worked at the Institute of Paediatrics of Beijing Children's Hospital after returning to China. In 1961, he was transferred to the Department of Paediatrics at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, where he worked under doctors Zhou Huakang 周华康 and Lin Qiaozhi. He served as deputy director and then director of the department from 1982 to 1985.

After the People's Republic of China and the United States established diplomatic relations in 1979, Ji was sponsored by the China Medical Board to study modern medical practices in the United States at the University of California, San Diego. Upon returning to China, he introduced perinatal medicine to the country, and together with doctors Zhou Huakang and Zhao Shimin 赵时敏, established China's first neonatal intensive care unit at PUMC Hospital.

From 1985 to 1989, Ji organized ten Chinese hospitals to participate in the perinatal medicine program of the United Nations Population Fund and helped propagate modern perinatal practices in China.

Personal life 
Ji married in 1944 to a college classmate. His wife worked in the Ministry of Health and predeceased him. The couple had two daughters.

Ji retired in 1991. He died on 23 October 2019, aged 95.

Neoscona domiciliorum, commonly known as the spotted orbweaver or redfemured spotted orbweaver, is a spider in the family Araneidae. The specific epithet domiciliorum means "of dwellings" in Latin and refers to the fact that this species is often found living on buildings. Their bites are not known to cause serious harm in humans.

Description
Adults can be identified by a bright white or yellow marking on the back of the abdomen. These markings generally have lateral broad, black stripes on either side with a thin transverse white band near the front making a pale cruciform shape. The first segment of each leg is red while the remaining segments are banded in black and pale gray. The underside is dark with four white spots on the abdomen which is red at the tip. As in other species in the genus Neoscona, there is a characteristic longitudinal groove on the carapace which separates them from species in Araneus.

Females are  long and are sparsely covered in short gray hairs. Males are about  long and have a relatively small, linear abdomen.

Habitat and distribution
It is endemic to the United States, southeast of a line joining Texas, Indiana and Massachusetts. It prefers woodland habitats, particularly moist woods dominated by hardwood trees. Though usually nocturnal, females are commonly found in moist woodlands of Florida throughout the autumn season. They can also be found on buildings, especially under the eaves where they may go unnoticed due to nocturnal habits.

Webs
Webs are placed vertically in trees and shrubs or on buildings. They can be up to  in diameter with even longer frame lines attached to shrubs or to the ground. Unlike members of Araneus, the hub is open and is crossed by only one or two threads. It is built by females, and is frequently replaced, being built at dusk and usually taken down before daybreak. Late in the season the web may be left in place during the day, perhaps because the female has greater nutritional needs at this time when she is preparing for egg laying.

A retreat formed of leaves or debris bound together with silk is built near one end of a frame line. This is for use during the day as at night the spider normally occupies the hub of the web and is alert to every tremor.

Cornelis Willem de Kiewiet (May 21, 1902 – February 15, 1986) was a Dutch-born American historian most notable for having served as president of Cornell University and the University of Rochester.

Biography
De Kiewiet was born in the Netherlands, but grew up in South Africa, where his father went as a diamond and gold-seeker and later worked as an employee of the Transvaal Republic's Railway. In the early 1920s, Cornelis earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in history from the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and, in 1927, he earned his Ph.D. in History from the University of London.

De Kiewiet emigrated to the United States in 1929 when he was offered a position teaching European history at the University of Iowa. In 1941, he joined the faculty of Cornell University, where he taught modern European history and pursued his research interests in British colonial policy, particularly in South Africa. In the mid-1940s, de Kiewiet became dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell and, in 1948, he was named University provost. The following year, de Kiewiet was appointed Cornell's acting president as well and served in that position for two years until he was recruited to become president of the University of Rochester in 1951. He served as Rochester's president until his retirement in 1961.  In retirement, de Kiewiet devoted his energies to the issue of higher education in Africa.

There is a residential building at the University of Rochester named after de Kiewiet.
