Gastrophysa viridula, known as the green dock beetle (note: the similar Gastrophysa cyanea in North America is also called the green dock beetle), green dock leaf beetle or green sorrel beetle, is a species of beetle native to Europe.

Description
The length of the green dock beetle varies between sexes, with the males being 4 mm and the females being 7 mm. During the mating season, females have enlarged abdomens. Both sexes are green with a metallic shimmer, which, depending on the light, can be gold green, blue, purple, violet, or red. The legs of this species also shimmer a metallic green, and are strongly built. The antennae are serrated and are medium in length.

Subspecies
Gastrophysa viridula pennina (Weise, 1882)
Gastrophysa viridula viridula (De Geer, 1775)

Distribution and habitat
The green dock beetle is commonly found in central Europe, also common and widespread in Britain. Its range extends eastward into western Siberia and the Caucasus Mountains.  They are found in heathlands, forests, meadows, and gardens with the presence of plant dock (Rumex), the beetles' food plant.

Diet
The green dock beetle feeds mainly on dock and green sorrel, rarely feeding on other plants in the families Polygonaceae, Brassicaceae, Violaceae, and Boraginaceae. The larvae can only completely develop on Rumex species.

Life cycle
The green dock beetle's breeding season is from March to October. There are 2 to 4 broods per year, with the last brood hibernating as an adult. The female lays over 1,000 eggs, laying them in clusters of 20 to 45 on the underside of the food plant's leaves. The eggs are oval in shape, and are cream to yellow, turning orange prior to hatching. After about 3 to 6 days, the larva hatches from the egg. It varies in color from greenish gray to dark brown. Its body is segmented, and will reach a length of 8 mm. Young larvae will drop to the ground if disturbed while feeding, while older larvae secrete a substance which repels competitors from eating the food plant leaves. After three instars, the larva pupates in a burrow about 2 cm underground. The adult emerges 6 to 9 days later.

A multilayer composed of chitin layers alternated with layers which also contain melanin is responsible for the green colouration (this phenomenon is known as structural colour). The development has been investigated using advanced imaging techniques, showing that the multilayer forms during pupation and schlerotisation.

The Old Schoolhouse, also known as the York Corner Schoolhouse, is an historic one-room school building on the grounds of the Old York Historical Society at York and Lindsay Streets in York, Maine.  Built in 1755, it is one of the oldest surviving schoolhouses in all of New England.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

Description and history
The Old Schoolhouse is located on the west side of Lindsay Street a short way south of its junction with York Street (United States Route 1A), just outside the center of the village of York.  It stands adjacent to the Jefferds Tavern and the visitor center of the Old York Historical Society, which stands at the street corner.  The schoolhouse is a small wood frame structure with a gable roof covered in wooden shingles, with exterior walls clad in clapboards.  The interior is quite plain, with wide hand-planed floorboards, a fireplace at one end, a small section of plastered wall, and a few small windows.

This schoolhouse was built in 1755 in the York Corner area to provide schooling for that area's children.  The building's window openings were originally covered in oiled paper, which would have provided a limited amount of daylight.  (The interior is currently lit by electric lights added by the museum.)  It was rescued from demolition by the museum, its previous use having been as a chicken coop.

Sivan Magen (born 1980) is an Israeli harpist.

Raised in Jerusalem in a musical family, the child of two cellists, Magen started his musical studies at the piano with Benjamin Oren and Talma Cohen, and first tried the harp when his family moved to France for a sabbatical. He continued his harp studies with Irena Kaganovski-Kessler in the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance. Later he moved to France on his own, where his teachers included Germaine Lorenzini.  Magen studied at the Conservatoire National Superieure in Paris, under the guidance of Isabelle Moretti, where he was a Premier Prix winner. Magen continued his studies at the Juilliard School with Nancy Allen, and earned a Master's degree. In 2006, he became the first, and to date only, Israeli to win the International Harp Contest in Israel.

In 2012, Magen won the Borletti-Buitoni Trust award.  At Juilliard, Magen met fellow Israeli musicians such as pianist Assaff Weisman and clarinetist Tibi Cziger, and the three of them were among the co-founders of the Israeli Chamber Project.  Magen also co-founded the chamber ensemble Tre Voci.  He has taught at Brooklyn College.  With the 2017-2018 season, Sivan became principal harp of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra.

Magen has recorded commercially for Linn Records, and also for such labels as ECM and Avie.

Churchville reservoir is an man-made freshwater reservoir located in Bucks County, PA. It was created by damming the Mill Creek in 1942 to act as a reserve of municipal water.

The reservoir is currently owned by the Aqua Pennsylvania and acts as a reserve of water. Fishing is banned in the reservoir. 

The Churchville Nature Center is located adjacent to the reservoir on Churchville Lane. The reservoir spans 180 acres, and along with the township and nature center, the total area reaches 670 acres.

Elm Avenue and Churchville Lane cross over the reservoir.

History
The reservoir was created in 1942 by the Springfield water company to act as a reserve of water . In times of low water it could be emptied through Iron Works Creek and from there into Mill Creek, which eventually empties into the Neshaminy Creek. Once the water reaches the Neshaminy, it can be withdrawn through the pumping station at Neshaminy Falls. 

When the reservoir was created it was surrounded by a rural land and few houses. By the late 1950s land development had expanded and new residents began to move to the Churchville area.

The Department of Parks had also been created to provide land for use of both humans and wildlife. The Churchville Nature center was one of the first locations selected due to its diversity of habitat including a woodlot, open field, meadow-land, and the reservoir.

Thomas Smeton, Smeaton or Smieton (1536–1583) was a Scottish minister and Principal of Glasgow University.

Life

He was born at Gask, near Perth, was educated at the school at Perth, and in 1553 incorporated a student in St. Salvator's College, St. Andrews. A promising scholar, he was made a regent of the college, and remained there until the reformers gained the ascendency. He was then ejected, and went to Paris. There he associated with many of the reformers, and enjoyed the friendship of Andrew Melville. Still a Catholic, he entered the Company of Jesus as a probationer, and proceeded to their college at Rome, visiting Geneva on his way. After continuing in Rome about a year and a half, he found himself suspect in Rome as a favourer of Protestant doctrine. He left for Paris, and shortly after proceeded to Clermont, in both places lecturing on the humanities. In Paris in 1571, Thomas Maitland, a younger brother of William Maitland of Lethington, persuaded Smeton to accompany him to Italy. Maitland died there, and Smeton went on to Geneva, where he conversed with the reformers, and finally decided to leave the Roman Catholic church. He was in Paris during the massacre of St. Bartholomew, taking refuge with Francis Walsingham, the English ambassador. On arriving in England he publicly renounced Catholicism, and settled in Colchester as a schoolmaster.

In 1577 he returned to Scotland, and was appointed minister of Paisley Abbey and dean of faculty to Glasgow University. He soon took a prominent part in church matters. In October 1578 he was nominated one of the assessors to the moderator in the general assembly, and in the following year was himself chosen moderator. On 3 January 1580 James VI appointed him principal of Glasgow University, in succession to Andrew Melville. In April 1583 he was again chosen moderator of the general assembly. At this time Andrew Melville was anxious that Smeton should succeed him at the University of St. Andrews, but the king, instigated by the prior of St. Andrews, who was opposed to the appointment, forbade his nomination, on the grounds of the loss it would inflict on the university of Glasgow. On his return to Glasgow Smeton was seized with a high fever, and died on 13 December 1583. He married before 1575, and had a son Thomas.

Works

Smeton was author of Ad Virulentum Archibaldi Hamiltonii Apostatae Dialogum, de Confusione Calvinianae Sectae apud Scotos, impie conscriptum. Orthodoxa Responsio, Edinburgh, 1579; a reply to Archibald Hamilton. With this work was a life of John Knox, Eximii viri Joannis Knoxii, Scoticanae Ecclesiae Instauratori, vera Extreme Vitae Obitus Historia. Thomas Dempster also attributes to Smeton Epitaphium Metellani.

South Ossetia is a region in the South Caucasus that is under the effective control of the self-declared Republic of South Ossetia–the State of Alania but recognized by most of the international community as part of Georgia. The Government of Georgia has established a Provisional Administration of South Ossetia which it considers to be the legal government of South Ossetia. Both entities have adopted a similar flag to represent themselves, a tricolour, top to bottom white, red, and yellow.

Republic of South Ossetia–the State of Alania

The flag of the Republic of South Ossetia–the State of Alania was prescribed by the South Ossetian Constitution of 26 November 1990 and confirmed by the Regulation on the National Flag of 30 March 1992. The flag of North Ossetia-Alania was set in law on 2 October 1991, but in December the middle stripe was changed to purple, and then changed back to red on 24 November 1994.

Provisional Administration of South Ossetia
The Provisional Administration of South Ossetia was established by the Government of Georgia April in 2007. At that time the provisional administration started using a white, red and yellow tricolour together with the flag of Georgia.

Historical flags
Between 1922 and 1990, South Ossetia was an autonomous oblast of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic known as the South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast. As an autonomous oblast, it didn't have its own flag, instead the Flag of Georgian SSR was used for official purposes.

Matcham is a semi-rural suburb of the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. It is part of the  local government area and included in the electoral district of Terrigal. It has a hall and a historic church, St. George's Church, established in 1925.

Origin of the name Matcham

The Matcham Estate was a grant of 2,560 acres to Charles Horatio Nelson Matcham, a nephew of Lord Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson. Charles Horatio Matcham came to Sydney in 1828.

Charles Matcham of the Murrumbidgee River was promised the land as a primary grant and authorised to take possession from 18 October 1831. The deed is registered in book 59/129 and is dated 1 January 1840.

He remained at "Bogolong" Murrumbidgee, where he died on 11 March 1844.

The estate passed to his nephew and then through various hands without development until 1907, when George Matcham sold to Frank L Measures of Niagara Park. Between 1907 and 1910, Measures subdivided the estate into various portions, one of them eventually becoming the suburb of nearby Holgate.

Extracted from the Matcham and Holgate Hall News (Matcham Hall).

The Sisters of the Holy Family (S.H.F.) of San Francisco, California, are community of Roman Catholic women religious established in 1872 by Lizzie Armer, known in religion as Sister Dolores Armer.  Originally based in San Francisco, the S.H.F. community moved their headquarters to Fremont, California, over the course of ten years between 1948 and 1958.

Founding 
Born in 1850 in Sydney, Australia, Lizzie Armer (full name Elizabeth but always known as “Lizzie”) moved with her family to San Francisco while still a young child.  Not much is known of her early childhood, but at some point during her youth Lizzie Armer was adopted into the wealthy home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Tobin, parents of Richard M. Tobin.  Richard Tobin was one of the original founders of Hibernia Savings and Loan, along with his brother Robert Tobin.  With the support of the Tobin family, Lizzie developed her interest in charitable work, focusing on families and children in poverty.

In 1870s San Francisco existing Sisterhoods already ran orphanages, hospitals and schools for middle class and wealthy young women, but there was a void in charitable work specifically for the aid of families of the working poor.  With the support of San Francisco’s first Archbishop, Joseph Sadoc Alemany, and Father John J. Prendergast, Lizzie Armer moved into a small home near Pine and Jones Streets in 1872 and began the new S.H.F. order.

Day Homes child care 
The Day Homes run by the Sisters in the San Francisco Bay Area were early day care centers for the children of working parents.  S.H.F. opened its first child care center, Holy Family Day Home, in 1878, and it was one of the only day care centers of its kind in San Francisco at that time.  Circa 1885 the Sisters operated three Day Homes in San Francisco, where children of the working poor were given food, kindergarten-level activities, and toys and games.  St. Elizabeth’s Day Home was built by the Sisters in San Jose in 1907, and St. Vincent’s in Oakland in 1911; by 1918 the SHF Day Homes minded over 1,700 children per day.

In 1958 St Elizabeth's Shelter in San Jose stepped in to help a pregnant 10-year-old, a 3rd grader. It made national headlines.
