Air commodore Isaac John Fitch (3 October 1903 – 25 July 1944) was a senior officer in the Royal Air Force, deputy director of intelligence at the Air Ministry and commanding air officer of Tarawa during the Second World War. His relatively brief career was cut short when, en route to Australia, the aeroplane carrying him crashed into a hilltop on Florida Island killing everyone on board.

Early life
Fitch was born in Bedford on 3 October 1903. He was the third son of Frank Fitch, a master baker and confectioner, and Mary Redfern Fitch, both of Bedford. He was educated at Bedford Modern School.

Career
Fitch joined the Royal Air Force in 1926 as a pilot officer on a short service commission. After flight training he served with Army co-operation squadrons at home and in India until 1929. In 1930, he was promoted to flying officer after completing a signals course and thereafter spent for five years in the Middle East. In 1937, he passed the RAF staff College course in Andover and was promoted to squadron leader.

During 1938 and 1939, Fitch was in the Directorate of Signals at the Air Ministry. At the outbreak of the Second World War, he initially served on signal duties in France and was made group captain on 1 June 1942, and air commodore in September 1943. Later that year, he was made deputy director of intelligence at the Air Ministry and commanding air officer of Tarawa.

Consairways crash
On 25 July 1944, Fitch took a flight from Tarawa, his final intended destination being Australia. He was flying with Consairways, a war airline that had been established by Donald Beatty and was under contract to Air Transport Command. The plane crashed into a 750 ft hilltop on Florida Island on approach to Carney Field, while travelling from Tarawa to Guadalcanal, en route to Australia. It has been written that Fitch was carrying a case that "contained war plans detailing the upcoming major offensive in the Pacific, formulated by President Franklin Roosevelt and Pacific Command and was being delivered to General MacArthur".

Fitch was first interred in Lunga and re-interred in the Bourail New Zealand War Cemetery.

Personal life
In 1931, Fitch married Florence (née Gribble) in Bedford, England. She survived him. He was a useful rugby player and played for Bedford, making 93 appearances between 1921 and 1928.

Mictocaris halope is the only species of cave crustacean in the monotypic genus Mictocaris. It is placed in its own family, Mictocarididae, and is sometimes considered the only member of the order Mictacea. Mictocaris is endemic to anchialine caves in Bermuda, and grows up to  long. Its biology is poorly known.

Taxonomy
Mictocaris halope is the only species in the genus Mictocaris, and in the family Mictocarididae. When the family Hirsutiidae is treated as the separate order Bochusacea, Mictocaris halope is the only species that remains in the order Mictacea.

Description
Mictocaris is  long and is reflective. It is native to four anchialine limestone caves in Bermuda: it was first discovered by divers in Crystal Cave, and then further populations were found in Green Bay Cave (South Harrington Sound Passage and North Shore Passage), Roadside Cave and Tucker's Town Cave.

Ecology
Mictocaris is rarely encountered because it lives only in deep waters in the interior sections of the caves. It avoids sunlight and remains in isolated parts of the cave. It is usually seen swimming, but on rare occasions can be found resting or walking on a rock. When relocated into an aquarium, they prefer the walls and surfaces of the glass. It is unknown what Mictocaris eats, but it has developed powerful molar and mandible muscles which allows them to chew productively. When originally found, the divers collected 56 specimens of Mictocaris, which can now be found in the National Museum of Natural History.

Conservation
Mictocaris is critically endangered due to population fragmentation, a decline in subpopulations, and only inhabiting a single location. The population is only extant in five locations, some of which are likely experiencing habitat destruction.

The Anglesey Oyster and Welsh Produce Festival is an annual food festival that was established in 2006 and is held during October in Anglesey, Wales.

Overview

The festival started as an informal social event based on the consumption of oysters, drinking and dancing and was formalised into a food festival in 2006 when it was also expanded to include other types of food.

Focus

The original focus of the festival was originally seafood, in particular local oyster production which is organised around the fast-flowing waters of the Menai Strait. The festival has since expanded to include other food types from local producers. Many of the producers are local farmers and fishermen who produce beef, lamb, lobsters and oysters. Some of these producers have diversified into producing cheese, chocolate and real ale. The festival has been described as "a friendly food fair giving visitors the opportunity to meet and build relationships with over 40 producers". 

The festival has included cookery demonstrations, talks from producers, recipe ideas, cookery tips and competitions, including a sausage competition, and a Music and Mussels event. The event has also organised a black tie gala dinner and entertainment has included Welsh and Irish dancing. There is an entertainment marquee.

Structure and support

The festival is supported by volunteers and organised by a limited company, Anglesey Oyster & Shellfish Festival Ltd. The festival has also received Welsh Government support.

Location

The festival is located at Trearddur and takes place at the Trearddur Bay Hotel, Lon Isallt, Trearddur Bay, Anglesey, LL65 2UN. 

The festival has around 3,000 visitors and there is an entry fee.

The Food and Services Union (, ) is a trade union representing workers in various industries in Belgium.

The union was founded in April 1919 and affiliated to the Confederation of Christian Trade Unions.  It initially had 511 members from a wide variety of small companies.

From the 1970s, the union began representing workers in security and cleaning, and from 2004 workers in the service voucher industry, which soon became its largest sector.  As of 1995, the union had 178,429 members.

In mathematics, an invariant measure is a measure that is preserved by some function. The function may be a geometric transformation. For examples, circular angle is invariant under rotation, hyperbolic angle is  invariant under squeeze mapping, and a difference of slopes is invariant under shear mapping.

Ergodic theory is the study of invariant measures in dynamical systems. The Krylov–Bogolyubov theorem proves the existence of invariant measures under certain conditions on the function and space under consideration.

Definition

Let  be a measurable space and let  be a measurable function from  to itself. A measure  on  is said to be invariant under  if, for every measurable set  in 

In terms of the pushforward measure, this states that 

The collection of measures (usually probability measures) on  that are invariant under  is sometimes denoted  The collection of ergodic measures,  is a subset of  Moreover, any convex combination of two invariant measures is also invariant, so  is a convex set;  consists precisely of the extreme points of 

In the case of a dynamical system  where  is a measurable space as before,  is a monoid and  is the flow map, a measure  on  is said to be an invariant measure if it is an invariant measure for each map  Explicitly,  is invariant if and only if

Put another way,  is an invariant measure for a sequence of random variables  (perhaps a Markov chain or the solution to a stochastic differential equation) if, whenever the initial condition  is distributed according to  so is  for any later time 

When the dynamical system can be described by a transfer operator, then the invariant measure is an eigenvector of the operator, corresponding to an eigenvalue of  this being the largest eigenvalue as given by the Frobenius-Perron theorem.

Examples

 Consider the real line  with its usual Borel σ-algebra; fix  and consider the translation map  given by:  Then one-dimensional Lebesgue measure  is an invariant measure for 
 More generally, on -dimensional Euclidean space  with its usual Borel σ-algebra, -dimensional Lebesgue measure  is an invariant measure for any isometry of Euclidean space, that is, a map  that can be written as  for some  orthogonal matrix  and a vector 
 The invariant measure in the first example is unique up to trivial renormalization with a constant factor. This does not have to be necessarily the case: Consider a set consisting of just two points  and the identity map  which leaves each point fixed. Then any probability measure  is invariant. Note that  trivially has a decomposition into -invariant components  and 
 Area measure in the Euclidean plane is invariant under the special linear group  of the  real matrices of determinant 
 Every locally compact group has a Haar measure that is invariant under the group action.

The men's cross-country mountain biking event at the 2020 Summer Olympics took place on 26 July 2021 at the Izu MTB Course, Izu, Shizuoka. 38 cyclists from 29 nations competed.

Background 

This was the 7th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Summer Olympics since mountain bike cycling was added to the programme in 1996.

The reigning Olympic champion was Nino Schurter of Switzerland, and the reigning (2020) World Champion was Jordan Sarrou of France.

A preview by Olympics.com noted Schurter (bronze in 2008, silver in 2012, and gold in 2016, along with 8 World Championships) as a favourite. Other contenders include Mathieu van der Poel of the Netherlands, Victor Koretzky of France, and Luca Braidot of Italy, while Tom Pidcock of Great Britain was rated as a talented outside bet for the title.

Qualification 

A National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter up to 3 qualified cyclists in the cross-country. Quota places are allocated to the NOC, which selects the cyclists. Qualification is primarily through the UCI nation rankings, with 30 of the 38 quota places available through that pathway. The top 2 NOCs earned 3 quota places. NOCs ranked 3rd through 7th earned 2 quota places. NOCs ranked 8th through 21st earned 1 quota places. The second path to qualification was continental tournaments for Africa, the Americas, and Asia; the top NOC at each tournament (which had not already earned a quota place) received 1 place. The third path was the 2019 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships. The top 2 NOCs (without a quota place yet) in the Elite category earned a place; the top 2 NOCs in the U-23 category (without a quota, including through the Elite category) also earned a place. The host nation was reserved one place, to be reallocated through the rankings if Japan earned a place normally. Because qualification was complete by the end of the 2020 UCI Track Cycling World Championships on 1 March 2020 (the last event that contributed to the 2018–20 rankings), qualification was unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Competition format 

The competition is a mass-start, seven-lap race. There is only one round of competition. The mountain bike course is  long, with sudden changes in elevation, narrow dirt trails, and rocky sections. The vertical height is . Riders with times 80% slower than the leader's first lap are eliminated.

Coghead was a web application company based out of Redwood City, California. The company offered a web-based service for building and hosting custom online database applications. Applications were built around custom data collections and were typically designed to facilitate management of, and collaboration on, business data. Examples of Coghead's "gallery" applications include project management, simple Customer relationship management, bug tracking and extreme programming.

Coghead's service was available through a limited-access beta program before "going live" for free trial accounts in April, 2007. Coghead launched a paid subscription plans in June, 2007.

On February 19, 2009, Coghead announced that its intellectual property assets (its 'service') had been acquired by SAP AG (NYSE:SAP).

Product

Coghead's product was a fully hosted environment for building, accessing, and maintaining applications and the associated business data. Like other so-called "Web 2.0" companies, Coghead built its product around the idea of "software as a service".

The product was intended to allow users to design a range of applications from scratch using only a drag and drop, WYSIWYG user interface, with very limited scripting or coding (if any) required. 

Coghead also offered its paid subscribers the ability to develop and publish "Coglets," web forms that allowed site visitors to view data in, or submit data into, the host's Coghead database.

On February 19, 2009, Coghead announced that SAP AG had acquired the Coghead service through an asset purchase.

The SAP asset purchase closed in the 1st Quarter 2009. Immediately upon closing the asset purchase, the public-facing service was taken off-line by SAP as they prepared to integrate the Coghead code with other SAP assets. This forced many of Coghead's customers to find alternative solutions.

The Starling was a small American nuclear bomb developed in the 1950s that was used as the primary in several US thermonuclear weapons.

The Starling was developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. According to researcher Chuck Hansen, it was  in diameter,  in length, and had a weight of . As tested in Nougat Cimarron, the primary had a yield of  but is also described as being . It was a two-point primary, like Tsetse, Kinglet, Robin, and Gnat.

Starling is reportedly the primary for the W55 (which also used Kinglet) and W56 warheads. Starling and Kinglet are reportedly the immediate successors to Robin.
