Thomas Dixson (also Thomas Dickson, c. May 3, 1733 – November 8, 1809) was a British colonial militiaman and politician serving in Canada.

Early life 
The year and location of Thomas Dixson's birth is not clear. As a young child, the Dixsons moved to Norwich, Connecticut.

French and Indian War 

During the French and Indian War, Dixson moved to Fort Cumberland, Nova Scotia, soon after, and served as a militiaman in the capture of Fort Beauséjour in 1755.

Dixson also served with Amherst at Montreal in 1760 and with Monckton in Havana in 1762.

American Revolution 
In 1776, during the American Revolutionary War, a band of revolutionaries led by Jonathan Eddy attempted to capture Fort Cumberland (Fort Beauséjour) as part of an effort to provoke Nova Scotia into joining the revolution against British control of the colonies. To resist this siege, known as the Battle of Fort Cumberland, Captain Dixson sailed himself and three volunteers in a small open boat across the Minas Basin (known for some of the highest tides on Earth), part of the Bay of Fundy, to warn the authorities in Halifax and bring reinforcements to the loyalists' aid. For this effort, Dixson was named a Person of National Historic Significance in 1938.

On 20 August 1776, Dixson was elected a Member of the Legislative Assembly of Nova Scotia in a by-election to represent Cumberland County. In October 1778, Dixson became a Justice of the Peace for Cumberland County. In 1785, Dixson's term as a Nova Scotia Legislative Assembly member ended when New Brunswick separated from Nova Scotia. Dixson was subsequently elected to the same position he had held previously in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, representing Westmoreland County. In 1802, Dixson retired from politics, and died on November 8, 1809, at Point de Bute, New Brunswick. He was survived by his wife and their eleven children.

Family 
At some point prior to 1761, Dixson travelled south to Massachusetts and met Catherine Wethered (or 'Weatherhead'), whom he married in Kings Chapel in Boston on April 9 that year. That same year, Dixson received a land grant at Fort Beauséjour, but later moved to Point de Bute, New Brunswick.

His half-brother Charles and his son Thomas Law also served in the Nova Scotia assembly.

In stellar astronomy, the Algol paradox  is a paradoxical situation when elements of a binary star seem to evolve in discord with the established theories of stellar evolution.  A fundamental feature of these theories is that the rate of evolution of stars depends on their mass:  The greater the mass, the faster this evolution, and the more quickly it leaves the main sequence, entering either a subgiant or giant phase.

In the case of Algol and other binary stars, something completely different is observed: The less massive star is already a subgiant, while the star with much greater mass is still on the main sequence. Since the partner stars of the binary are thought to have formed at approximately the same time and so should have similar ages, this appears paradoxical. The more massive star, rather than the less massive one, should have left the main sequence.

The paradox is resolved by the fact that in many binary stars, there can be a flow of material between the two, disturbing the normal process of stellar evolution. As the flow progresses, their evolutionary stage advances, even as the relative masses change. Eventually, the originally more massive star reaches the next stage in its evolution despite having lost much of its mass to its companion.

The National Woolsorters' Society (NWS) was a trade union representing workers involved in sorting wool in the United Kingdom, principally in Yorkshire.

History
The union was founded in 1889 in Bradford, as the National Union of Woolsorters.  By 1892 it had three branches and a total of 798 members.  The following year, T. Grundy was elected as its general secretary, and he became known for leading campaigns against woolsorters' disease, which was later found to be caused by anthrax.

The union was affiliated to the Labour Party, and to the National Association of Unions in the Textile Trade.

In 1920, the union renamed itself as the "National Woolsorters' Society", and saw its period of greatest success, membership peaking at 2,579 in 1925.  It then fell to just under 2,000 and remained at this level until the 1960s, when it again began dropping.  By 1980, it had only 676 members remaining, and this led it to merge into the Association of Professional, Executive and Computer Staff on 9 May.

Morgan Femai (born 9 September 1949) is a Zimbabwean senator for Chikomo and Chairperson for Harare in the office of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.
He was elected in the 2008 Zimbabwean parliamentary election with 34,484 votes.

In May 2012, at a parliamentary HIV awareness workshop in Kadoma, he made several statements about AIDS prevention, such as that women should be compelled to shave their heads, lose weight and bathe less often, in order to appear less attractive. He also suggested female circumcision. He also told the workshop, "Women have got more moisture in their organs as compared to men so there is need to research on how to deal with that moisture because it is conducive for bacteria breeding. There should be a way to suck out that moisture."

Gender Activist Betty Makoni said that he should withdraw his statement.

Airag Lake (, , ) is a lake in western Mongolia in the Great Lakes Depression. It is in a system of the interconnected lakes: Khar-Us, Khar, Dörgön, and Khyargas.

The lake was in the same basin as the Khyargas Lake in ancient times.

The depth of the lake generally varies with the inflow river flow. The lake flows into Khyargas Lake along a 5 km long, 200–300 m wide canal, which does not freeze in winter.

In summer, the lake warms up almost to the very bottom. Even in winter, the temperature remains fairly constant, 1 - 2.5 °C. Compared to other lakes, the water is not very clear.

"Shimmer" is a song by American DJ and electronic music producer Notaker. Canadian record label Monstercat released it on February 6, 2017. The song was originally released as part of the compilation album Monstercat 030 – Finale, released February 22, 2017.

Background and release

Notaker began the writing process for the song over Independence Day weekend in 2016, producing the song without many setbacks, with the only exception being a 'shout' sample that occurs alongside the snare throughout the song. In attempts to pitch-up the sample, the quality of said sample diminished. To solve this issue, Notaker simply pitched everything in the track down to match the sample, which he described as a "long and tedious solution to what seemed to be a simple problem."

Notaker aimed to produce a song that could be set apart from his other works, with Shimmer being aimed to have a warm "feel good" sound to it, contrasting the "epic" sounds found in his previous songs. He named the song "Shimmer" as he felt that the "sound of the song itself shined and sounded pretty."

On February 6, 2017, the song was released as a digital download on international digital stores through Canadian record label Monstercat, as well as being released through various music streaming services. "Shimmer" was featured on the compilation album titled Monstercat 030 – Finale released on February 22, 2017.

Critical reception
"Shimmer" was well received by most critics. Writing for Dancing Astronaut, Kanvar Kohli wrote that all the components present in the song had "come together to create a track that as striking as it is serene", describing the track as having "tranquil, aurally pleasing elements, which evoke a hypnotic effect upon listening." Molly Hankins of Nest HQ stated that the track has a "retro-trance and house-fueled vibe but progresses like pure electronica creating a gorgeous soundscape along its way." Noiseporn's Harrison Morgan wrote that the song has two distinct bass drops, stating that "each drop has its ups and downs, but every high is always the best when the precedent is one of the lowest of lows." Steve Jacobs of EDM Sauce noted the song as being reminiscent of the song "Midnight City" by French electronic music project M83 and in the style of Grammy-nominated record producer Porter Robinson, writing that the song had solidified "Notaker's ability to produce top-shelf music."
