John Wilfrid Linnett FRS (3 August 1913 – 7 November 1975) was Vice-Chancellor at the University of Cambridge from 1973 to 1975. He was for many years a Fellow of the Queen's College, Oxford, and a demonstrator in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Oxford.

Education
He was born on 3 August 1913 in Coventry in England and educated at King Henry VIII School and St John's College, University of Oxford, and was later a Junior Fellow there.

Academic career
He was appointed Professor of Physical Chemistry at Cambridge University in 1965. He was Master of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, on the Council of the Royal Society, and was President of the Faraday Society.

Throughout his career as a chemist, he was noted for his wide interests, making substantial contributions in theoretical chemistry, mass spectrometry, explosion limits, atom recombination reactions, combustion, and several other areas.

Octet rule
In 1960, Linnett originated a modification to the octet rule, originally proposed by Lewis, concerning valence electrons. He proposed that the octet should be considered as a double quartet of electrons rather than as four pairs, and hence the theory became known as "Linnett double-quartet theory". Using this method, he was able to explain the stability of 'odd electron' molecules such as nitric oxide and oxygen. This theory was set out in a book "The Electronic Structure of Molecules: A New Approach", published by Methuen & Co Ltd, London, 1964. His general book "Wave Mechanics and Valency" also published by Methuen & Co Ltd, London, appeared in 1960.

Death
He died of a heart attack in the Athenaeum Club, London, on 7 November 1975, only five weeks after ceasing to be Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge.

The John Wilfrid Linnett Visiting Professor of Chemistry was established in his memory in 1993 at the University of Cambridge.

Ulla E. Dydo (February 4, 1925 – September 10, 2017) was a Swiss-born writer, editor and noted Gertrude Stein scholar. She was Professor Emerita at the City University of New York and author of Gertrude Stein: The Language That Rises, 1923–1934.

Early life 
Ulla E. Dydo was born Ursula Elisabeth Eder in Zürich, Switzerland, in 1925. Her parents were Jeanne Eder-Schwyzer (1894–1957) and Dr. Robert Eder (1885–1944).

After studying at University of Zurich and University College, London, Dydo moved to the United States. She received an MA from Bryn Mawr College in 1948 and a PhD from University of Wisconsin–Madison, in 1955, with a dissertation on "The Poetry of Allen Tate."

Career 
She was a professor of English at Brooklyn College from 1958 to 1966, and then lived in Lagos, Nigeria, until 1969, doing work for the Nigerian National Museum and studying Hausa poetry. Starting in 1970 she was a professor of English at Bronx Community College.

Fluent in German, Italian, and French, Dydo was editor of Odyssey Review: A Quarterly of Modern Latin American & European Literature in English Translation from 1961 to 1963.

By the 1970s, Dydo turned to Gertrude Stein, whose work would be at the center of her research and writing for the rest of her life. She worked closely with Leon Katz, Bill Rice and Edward Burns. With Burns, she edited The Letters of Gertrude Stein and Thornton Wilder (1996). In 1993 she published A Stein Reader, notable both for the selections and the illuminating headnotes. Because of Dydo's extensive research on the Stein papers at the Beinecke Library (Yale University), she was able to provide detailed textual scholarship about individual Stein works, such as had not been previously available. The years of study culminated in Dydo's major work, Gertrude Stein: The Language that Rises 1923–1934, published in 2003.

Her later work turned to the poetry of Cecil Taylor.

She died in New York in 2017, at age 92.

Personal life 
She married the economist John Stephen Dydo (1922–2004) in 1963 and had a son in 1967. She later married the new music pianist Nurit Tilles.

Dydo frequently attended downtown poetry readings, dance, theater, and music events, and she was a generous supporter of related arts organizations.

The National Heritage List for England (NHLE) is England's official database of protected heritage assets. It includes details of all English listed buildings, scheduled monuments, register of historic parks and gardens, protected shipwrecks, and registered battlefields. It is maintained by Historic England, a government body, and brings together these different designations as a single resource even though they vary in the type of legal protection afforded to them. Although not designated by Historic England, World Heritage Sites also appear on the NHLE; conservation areas do not appear since they are designated by the relevant local planning authority.

The passage of the Ancient Monuments Protection Act 1882 established the first part of what the list is today, by granting protection to 50 prehistoric monuments. Amendments to this act increased the levels of protection and added more monuments to the list. Beginning in 1948, the Town and Country Planning Acts created the first listed buildings and the process for adding properties to it. , more than 600,000 properties are listed individually. Each year additional properties are added to the national list, via the registers that comprise the list.

The National Heritage List for England was launched in 2011 as the statutory list of all designated historic places including listed buildings and scheduled monuments.

The list is managed by Historic England (formerly part of English Heritage), and is available as an online database with over 400,000 listed buildings, registered parks, gardens and battlefields, protected shipwrecks and scheduled monuments.  A unique NHLE reference number is frequently used to refer to the related database entry; for example, 1285296 refers to Douglas House, a Grade II* listed building in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.

W. B. Yeats, Lady Gregory and Edward Martyn published a "Manifesto for Irish Literary Theatre" in 1897, in which they proclaimed their intention of establishing a national theatre for Ireland.

The Irish Literary Theatre was founded by Yeats, Lady Gregory, George Moore and Edward Martyn in Dublin, Ireland, in 1899. It proposed to give performances in Dublin of Irish plays by Irish authors.

In 1899 Lady Gregory secured a temporary licence for a play to be given at the Antient Concert Rooms in Great Brunswick St in Dublin, and so enabled the Irish Literary Theatre to give its first production. The play chosen was The Countess Cathleen by W. B. Yeats. It was done by a very efficient London company that included Miss May Whitty (Dame May Webster) and Mr. Ben Webster. The next production given was Martyn's play The Heather Field. In the following year the Irish Literary Theatre produced at the Gaiety Theatre three plays: Maeve by Edward Martyn, The Last Feast of Fianna by Alice Milligan, and The Bending of the Bough by George Moore. The Bending of the Bough was staged during the Boer War which begun on 11 October 1899.

The Irish Literary Theatre project lasted until 1901, when it collapsed due to lack of funding.

The use of non-Irish actors in these productions was perceived to be a failure, and a new group of Irish players was put together by the Fay brothers, among others. These went on to form the Irish National Theatre Society, which led to the Abbey Theatre.

Abdul Jabar Mohd Yusof (Jawi: ) or more commonly known as Cikgu Jabar was a Malaysian politician and teacher. He has served as the Member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly for Batu Laut for three consecutive terms from 1974 to 1986, becoming the first and only independent politician in Malaysian history in doing so.

Political career
Cikgu Jabar was formerly a member of UMNO before becoming an Independent politician. During his tenure as the member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly for Batu Laut, he managed to secure the Batu Laut seat even though at that time the Alliance Party and UMNO was quite strong under the leadership of former Menteri Besar of Selangor and UMNO Youth Chief, Harun Idris. Datuk Harun competed at Morib, a constituency neighboring Batu Laut.

Cikgu Jabar is a legend in his own right, he redefined the idea of an "Independent candidate". His political career though ended after he joined the now-defunct Malaysian Nationalist Party or NASMA in 1986, losing badly to BN's Sairun Abdul Hamid.

Leondios G. Kostrikis is a biochemist from Cyprus and a Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Cyprus.

Education

Kostrikis received his scientific education in biochemistry from New York University. In 1987, he received his B.Sc. degree, supported by a Fulbright Scholarship. In 1993, he received his Ph.D.

Career

He then moved to Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center (ADARC) to do HIV research. In 1999, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Rockefeller University. In 2003, he returned to Cyprus. He became Head of Laboratory of Biotechnology and Molecular Virology and Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Cyprus.

Deltacron

In January 2022, Kostrikis announced that his research group at the University of Cyprus in Nicosia found a new variant of SARS-CoV-2, which purportedly shares specific properties with the variants Delta and Omicron. The group dubbed the supposed new variant "Deltacron". Maria Van Kerkhove, Richard Neher (head of Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology and associate professor of University of Basel) and other scientists challenged this announcement, saying a lab mistake is a more probable explanation for the Cyprus lab's finding.

The "Deltacron" phenomenon reported by Kostrikis is not related to a "Deltacron" variant reported by the World Health Organization on March 9, 2022.

41 Lyncis (abbreviated 41 Lyn), also designated HD 81688 and named Intercrus , is a fifth-magnitude star located in the northern constellation of Ursa Major. An extrasolar planet (designated 41 Lyncis b or HD 81688 b, later named Arkas) is thought to be orbiting the star.

Properties
It is estimated using parallax measurements to be approximately  from the Sun. The spectrum of this star matches a stellar classification of K0 III, with the luminosity class of III suggesting it is a giant star. This star has about double the mass of the Sun, although a re-evaluation of evolutionary tracks published in 2011 gives a lower estimate of  solar masses. It has expanded to 11 times the Sun's radius and is radiating 55 times as much as the Sun from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 4,789 K. This temperature gives it the orange-hued glow of a K-type star.

This star is following an orbit through the Milky Way with an eccentricity of 0.21. This will take it as close to the Galactic Center as  and as far as . The inclination of this orbit will carry it as much as  away from the galactic plane. For this reason, it is uncertain whether this star is a member of the thin disk population.

41 Lyncis is listed in the Washington Double Star Catalog as having two visual companions, the 8th-magnitude F-type subgiant HD 81704  away, and an 11th-magnitude star  away. Both are background objects, more distant than 41 Lyncis itself, but the two share a common proper motion and are at the same distance as each other.

Nomenclature
41 Lyncis is the Flamsteed designation. Typically, 'Lyncis' is the genitive for a star found in the constellation of Lynx. However, when the constellation boundaries were officially established by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1930, this star was located within Ursa Major. HD 81688 is the entry in the Henry Draper Catalogue. Following its discovery the planet was designated 41 Lyncis b or alternatively HD 81688 b.

In July 2014 the IAU launched NameExoWorlds, a process for giving proper names to certain exoplanets and their host stars. The process involved public nomination and voting for the new names. In December 2015, the IAU announced the winning names were Intercrus for this star and Arkas for its planet.
The winning names were those submitted by the Okayama Astro Club of Japan. Intercrus means "between the legs" in Latin style, referring to the star's position in the constellation Ursa Major. Arkas was the son of Callisto (Ursa Major) in Greek mythology.

The International Astronomical Union Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) has approved the proper name Intercrus for 41 Lyncis.

Planetary system
On 19 February 2008 a planet was announced orbiting the star. It has a minimum mass 2.7 times that of Jupiter and completes an orbit every 184 days.

Joseph Leo Birmingham (December 3, 1884 – April 24, 1946) was a major league baseball player.  Birmingham was a center fielder and manager who occasionally played the infield for the Cleveland Naps.  He was named the manager of the Naps in  at the age of 28 after Harry Davis was fired, and he stayed at the helm for three more seasons.

His tenure was marked with a bit of controversy in  which would be his best finish as manager (86-66, 3rd place).  Nap Lajoie, who was Birmingham's former manager, struggled through a hitting slump in mid-season and Birmingham decided to bench the future Hall of Famer at one point.  Lajoie who had no love for Birmingham was outraged and cursed out the young manager to his face and in the press. The feud only ended when Lajoie was sold back to Philadelphia after the 1914 season.

His next season would be a disaster, as the newly named Indians lost 102 games, and in , he was fired after only 28 games. He managed the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League in 1916, but was replaced late in the season.

RunBot  is a miniature bipedal robot which belongs to the class of limit cycle walkers. Instead of using a central pattern generator it uses reflexes which generate the gait. The reflexes are triggered by ground contact sensors in the feet which then activate the motors. The generation of the walking gait is straightforward: when a foot touches the ground the other leg is lifted upwards so that the robot falls forward. This then causes this leg to touch the ground and so forth. The walking speed can be improved by means of reinforcement learning because there are only a few parameters in this scheme. RunBot was built in 2005 by Tao Geng as part of his PhD under supervision of Prof Woergoetter and after an idea by Dr Porr to use a walking robot to benchmark reflex based reinforcement learning rules. Its movements and adaptability are based on the work of neurophysiologist Nikolai Bernstein.

Since its inception the RunBot has undergone numerous design iterations, for example where a moveable upper body mass on the robot keeps the walking pattern stable even on uneven terrain.

Design
The locomotion system is kept simple with four motors: one on each of two knees, one on each of two hips. The sensory system is of similar simplicity, with the ability to detect the ground contact and the angles of the hips/knee motors. The motors are controlled by force and not by angle.
