Michael John Selby  (13 January 1936 – 21 January 2018) was a New Zealand geomorphologist, academic, and university administrator. Mount Selby in Antarctica's Britannia Range is named for him.

Biography
Born in Luton, Bedfordshire, England, on 13 January 1936, Selby studied at Keble College, Oxford, gaining a BA(Hons), MA, and DipEd.

Selby came to New Zealand on the RMS Rangitata in 1960, and was appointed as a junior lecturer at the Waikato branch of the University of Auckland. On the establishment of the University of Waikato in 1964, he joined the new Department of Geography, and then the Department of Earth Sciences when it was formed in 1970. The following year, he completed a DPhil: the title of his doctoral thesis was Runoff, infiltration and soil erodibility studies in the Otutira catchment. He was later awarded a Doctor of Science degree from the University of Oxford on the basis of his research linking concepts in geomorphology with quantitative measurements in engineering geology.

Selby took part in either three or four field expeditions to Antarctica, including in 1968–69, 1971–72, and 1978–79. On the first of these, he became the first geomorphologist to travel to Antarctica. The 1978–79 trip to the Britannia Range–Darwin Glacier region was led by Selby, and mapped exposures in the McCraw Glacier area, and discovered iron meteorites on Derrick Peak. Selby also made expeditions to the Sahara, Namib, and Atacama Deserts, as well as to the Himalayas and Colorado. He also visited the Eastern Mediterranean after developing a research interest in archaeology and human evolution and dispersion. In 1980, Selby was appointed as a professor of earth sciences at Waikato. During his academic career, he wrote six books and more than 80 refereed scientific papers.

In the later part of his career, Selby was part of the senior administrative team at Waikato, and served as deputy vice-chancellor (research). He took part in the Treaty of Waitangi negotiations with Waikato Tainui relating to the ownership of the university campus. On his retirement from Waikato in 2002, Selby was granted the title of emeritus professor. He continued to serve the university as chair of the University of Waikato Foundation and as a director of companies commercialising research at the university. 

Selby became a naturalised New Zealander in 1980. He died on 21 January 2018.

Honours and honorific eponym
In the 2005 New Year Honours, Selby was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to education.

A peak in the Britannia Range in Antarctica was named Mount Selby, in honour of Selby, by the New Zealand Antarctic Placenames Committee.

Kalanisi (27 March 1996 – 25 May 2023) was a Thoroughbred racehorse who won European Champion and American Champion honours in 2000.

Background
Bred and raced by H.H. Aga Khan IV, Kalanisi was out of the mare Kalamba, a daughter of Green Dancer, a Champion sire in France who was a son of the English Triple Crown winner, Nijinsky. Kalanisi was sired by Doyoun, winner of the 1988 British Classic Race, the 2,000 Guineas Stakes. Doyoun was a son of Mill Reef whose multiple Group One wins included The Derby and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and who was voted 1971's European Horse of the Year.

Racing career

1999: three-year-old season
Trained by Sir Michael Stoute, Kalanisi won all three starts as a three-year-old.

2000: four-year-old season
Then at age four, he won the then Group 2 Queen Anne Stakes and the Group 1 Champion Stakes in England and earned a second in two other Group 1 races. Shipped to the United States for the 4 November 2000 Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf at Churchill Downs, under jockey Johnny Murtagh, Kalanisi won the race by defeating runner-up Quiet Resolve as well as the betting favourite Montjeu and other top international runners such as Fantastic Light, and Manndar. It was the Aga Khan's second win of the Breeders' Cup Turf as an owner, having won with Lashkari in 1984's inaugural running.

2001: five-year-old season
Racing at age five, Kalanisi won two of five starts and notably was second in June's Group 1 Prince of Wales's Stakes at England's Ascot Racecourse. Injured in the race, he was retired to stud duty at his owner's Gilltown Stud in County Kildare, Ireland.

Assessment
Kalanasi's performances in 2000 earned him the American Eclipse Award as U.S. Champion Male Turf Horse and the Cartier Racing Award as European Champion Older Horse.

Stud career
Kalanisi was the sire of more than one hundred and forty foals of which, as of mid-2008, thirty-five have been race winners. Beginning in 2008 he was standing at Boardsmill Stud in County Meath. He was withdrawn from stud duty in 2020 "due to fertility issues".

Death
Kalanisi died suddenly in his paddock on 25 May 2023, at the age of 27. The news was announced on 26 May, a few days after Kalanisi's death.

Commemoration
The 'Kalanisi Building' at the Royal Veterinary College, Hatfield, England, was named in Kalanisi's honour on 4 August 2010.

The 2010 Barrow-in-Furness Borough Council election took place on 6 May 2010 to elect members of Barrow-in-Furness Borough Council in Cumbria, England. One third of the council was up for election and the council stayed under no overall control.

After the election, the composition of the council was:
Labour 16
Conservative 13
Independent 5
Socialist People's Party 2

Background
The 2010 election was the last where only a third of the council was contested. This meant 12 seats were up for election, with only Barrow Island ward not having an election. From the 2011 election Barrow-in-Furness moved to having full council elections every 4 years.

Before the election the Conservative party had 16 councillors, compared to 8 for Labour, 7 independents, 4 Socialist People's Party and 1 Liberal Democrat. However, in the lead up to election independent councillor John Millar joined the Conservatives and defended Dalton South as a Conservative in the election.

The Conservatives hoped to win a majority on the council, defending their record as the council administration by pointing to a list of achievements and saying they had kept council tax levels low. However Labour were only defending 2 seats and attacked the Conservative record, while calling for more council apprenticeships and the return of a scheme of lower bus fares for pensioners.

Election result
The results saw Labour gain 8 seats to double the number of councillors the party held on the council to 16. The gains came at the expense of all the other groups on the council, with only the Conservatives holding 2 seats in Hawcoat and Roosecote.

Following the election the Conservative leader of the council, Jack Richardson, was re-elected and Conservative Rory McClure became mayor. This came after all 5 independents backed the Conservatives in the vote and the 2 Socialist Peoples Party councillors abstained.

Cyrtophorus verrucosus, commonly known as the ant-like longhorn beetle or ant-mimic longhorn beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is native to North America, where it occurs in southern Canada and the eastern United States, from Florida to Kansas.

Description 
Cyrtophorus verrucosus is a specialized ant mimic, even moving in a manner similar to an ant. It has varying amounts of red and black in two forms (the red thought to be mimicking Camponotus chromaiodes and the black Camponotus pennsylvanicus). The pronotum has knobs at its base, white lines of setae by the middle, and another white line behind it. It is usually between  and  in length.

Behavior and life cycle 
This species inhabits deciduous forests and is sometimes found on spring flowers, from which adult beetles extract pollen and nectar. Larvae develop in and feed on hardwood trees. Some hardwoods that are commonly used and consumed by this species include trees from the genera Acer, Betula, Cercis, Pinus, and Ulmus. Adult beetles are generally active between March and July.

Eucalyptus exilipes, commonly known as the fine-leaved ironbark, is a species of medium to tall tree and is endemic to Queensland. It has dark grey or black "ironbark", linear to narrow lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and cup-shaped to shortened spherical fruit. It is similar to E. crebra, differing only in the length of the pedicels.

Description
Eucalyptus exilipes is a tree that typically grows to a height of  and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, dark grey to black ironbark. Young plants and coppice regrowth have petiolate, dull greyish, linear leaves that are  long and  wide. Adult leaves are linear to narrow lance-shaped,  long and  wide on a petiole  long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of seven on an unbranched peduncle  long, the individual buds on a pedicel  long. Mature buds are oval to spindle-shaped,  long and  wide with a conical operculum. Flowering occurs in July and August and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, cup-shaped to shortened spherical capsule  long and wide with the valves near rim level. This species is very similar to E. crebra, differing only slightly in the dimensions of the pedicels.

Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus exilipes was first formally described in 1987 by Ian Brooker and Anthony Bean from a specimen they collected in the White Mountains in 1985. The description was published in the journal Brunonia. The specific epithet (exilipes)  is derived from Latin words exilis meaning "slender", "thin" or "small" and 'pes' meaning "stem", and refers to the slender pedicels of this species.

Distributiont
The fine-leaved ironbark is only known from a few locations in north Queensland, including the White Mountains, Blackbraes National Park and north of Cooktown.

Conservation status
Eucalyptus exilipes is classified as "least concern" under the Queensland Government Nature Conservation Act 1992.

"World" is a song by the Bee Gees, released in 1967 as a single in the United Kingdom and Europe and then included on their album Horizontal the following year. Though it was a big hit in Europe, Atco Records did not issue it as a single in the United States, having just issued a third single from Bee Gees' 1st, "Holiday".

Recording and composition
The song's first recording session was on 3 October 1967 along with "With the Sun in My Eyes" and "Words". The song's last recording session was on 28 October 1967. "World" was originally planned as having no orchestra, so was recorded on four tracks, including some piano played by Maurice and organ played by Robin. When it was decided to add an orchestra, the four tracks containing the band were mixed to one track and the orchestra was added to the other track. The stereo mix suffered since the second tape had to play as mono until the end when the orchestra comes in on one side. Barry adds: "'World' is one of those things we came up with in the studio, Everyone just having fun and saying, 'Let's just do something!' you know". Vince Melouney recalls: "I had this idea to play the melody right up in the top register of the guitar behind the chorus". The song's lyrics question the singer's purpose in life.

Release
In 1990, Bill Inglot synched up the two tape reels and made a new stereo mix for the Tales from the Brothers Gibb box set. Two mixes of the record were played to journalists at a press conference before its release. The released version is mainly the unorchestrated version but the orchestrated version is used from 2:39. The track features Robin on organ and Maurice on double-tracked piano. The vocals are mostly by Barry but Robin sings the chorus a few times prior to the fadeout.

Allmusic's Donald A. Guarisco described this song as "a thoroughly psychedelic ballad worthy of the Moody Blues' finest similar efforts". The original promotional video for "World" is black and white.

"American Express - Virtual Reality" is the name of a television advertisement for the American Express multinational financial services corporation, created in 1998. Directed by David Kellogg, the spot is one in a series of Visa-bashing ads.

Synopsis 
A man (Raymond O'Connor) finds happiness in a romantic fantasy of himself ballroom dancing in the arms of a red-haired beauty (Angelica Bridges). That is until a store clerk (Brian Klugman) yanks the virtual reality device that produced her. The clerk tells the man that he put himself above his Visa credit card limit. Unlike Visa, American Express has no pre-set limits. A tug-of-war quickly ensues between the man and the clerk, which ultimately results in the police being called.

Reception
The commercial was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Commercial, ultimately losing out to Apple Computer's "Think Different" advertisement.

Angelica Bridges was compared to a modern-day Ginger Rogers. Meanwhile, according to the Los Angeles Times, this particular ad helped
Raymond O'Connor, the hapless Visa user, land a role in the film My Giant.

Ruth Rose (January 16, 1896 – June 8, 1978) was a writer who worked on several films in the 1930s and the 1940s, most famously the original 1933 classic King Kong.

Early life
Rose was born on January 16, 1896, to a playwright, Edward E. Rose.  At age 14 she first appeared on the Broadway stage doing various ingenue parts.  In 1926, Rose was working as the official historian on a New York Zoological Society expedition to the Galapagos Islands, led by William Beebe. Ernest Schoedsack was working as a cinematographer on that same expedition, just after he had made the film Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life (1925) with Merian C. Cooper.  Rose and Schoedsack met there and fell in love.  In 1926 they were married.  She joined Schoedsack and Cooper on some of their other adventures and productions, including the film Chang (1927).

King Kong
In the early 1930s, Cooper began development for his film King Kong.  He had already gotten two other writers to work on Kong. The first one, Edgar Wallace, died before he could make any significant changes, and the second, James Ashmore Creelman, wrote a screenplay that was too slow-paced, descriptive, and had too much flowery dialogue according to Cooper.  So he hired Rose to rework it.  Rose cut out many of the long, unimportant scenes that Creelman had written, in order to make it more fast-paced. She is credited with writing such famous lines as "Oh, no. It wasn't the airplanes. It was Beauty killed the Beast." She also based the character of Carl Denham on Merian Cooper and Jack Driscoll she based on her husband, Ernest Schoedsack.  It was now more like one of the earlier Cooper-Schoedsack adventures.

Later life
After the success of King Kong, Rose wrote several other movies including Blind Adventure, Son of Kong, She, The Last Days of Pompeii, and Mighty Joe Young, another giant ape adventure.  Her Kong screenplay was the basis for two remakes of King Kong, one in 1976 and one in 2005.  Rose did not write any more films before her death on June 8, 1978, although she did many rewrites and dialogue changes through the years. She was survived by her husband and her only child, Peter, born in 1929 with cerebral palsy.
