The Mascarene swiftlet or Mauritius swiftlet (Aerodramus francicus) is a species of swift in the family Apodidae.
It is found in Mauritius and Réunion, and the populations on the two islands have recently been confirmed to differ subspecifically. The nominate race francicus is found on Mauritius and the recently described race saffordi occurs on Réunion.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, caves, arable land, and heavily degraded former forest.
It is threatened by habitat loss.

Taxonomy
The Mascarene swiftlet was formally described in 1789 by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin in his revised and expanded edition of Carl Linnaeus's Systema Naturae. He placed it with the swifts and swallows in the genus Hirundo and coined the binomial name Hirundo francica. Gmelin based his description on "La petite hirondelle noire à croupion gris" that had been described in 1779 by the French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon from a specimen collected on the "Île de France" (Mauritius) in his Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux. A hand-coloured illustration was also published. The Mascarene swiftlet is now placed with 27 other swiftlets in the genus Aerodramus that was introduced in 1906 by the American ornithologist Harry C. Oberholser. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek aēr meaning "air" with -dromos meaning
"-racer" (from trekhō "to run"). The specific epithet francicus signifies the "Île de France", the type locality.

Two subspecies are recognised:
 A. f. francicus (Gmelin, JF, 1789) – Mauritius
 A. f. saffordi Kirwan, Shirihai & Schweizer, 2018 – La Réunion

Founded in 1625, the Régiment de Touraine was a French infantry regiment raised in the province of Touraine.

Origins

At the end of 1624, the Protestant stronghold of La Rochelle sent an expedition and besieged Port Louis in Brittany.  As no troops were stationed in this province at this time, Louis XIII sent Marshal Bassompierre, which, from Angers, urged Baron du Plessis-Joigny, governor of this city, to create an infantry regiment. The Protestant expedition on Port-Louis was cancelled before the arrival of the newly raised regiment, but it victoriously took part to the siege of the rebellious city between 1627 and 1628.

In May 1636 the regiment received the name of Touraine and its regimental flags. During the Fronde the colonels took advantage of the weakening of royal authority and did away with the provincial title of their regiments. Subsequently, the Touraine  regiment appeared as the Régiment d'Amboise, de Kercado or de Chambellay according to the name of its colonel.

Franco-Spanish War

During the Franco-Spanish War, the Regiment de Touraine participated to the Italian campaign where it successfully attacked Spanish possessions in Northern Italy, including Ceva, Pianezza, Mondovì and took part to the famous siege of Turin.

Franco-Dutch War and War of the Reunions

After Turenne's death, the regiment participated to the siege of Valenciennes (1676-1677) the Battle of Cassel (1677) and the Siege of Luxembourg (1684).

Nine Years War

War of the Spanish Succession

War of the Polish Succession

War of the Austrian Succession

The regiment was present at  the battle of Fontenoy 1745 and  the sieges of Tournai, Termonde and Ath. In 1746 it fought at the battle of Rocoux and the siege of Namur. In 1747 it was at the battle of Lauffeld and participated at the siege of Bergen op Zoom. It was at the siege of Maastricht in 1748.

Seven Years' War

In 1757 Touraine fought at battle of Hastenbeck. It was at the battle of Krefeld in 1758. The regiment was present at the battle of Minden in 1759 and the siege of Mǚnster. It fought at Warburg in 1760, covering the retreat of the army.

American Revolutionary War

The regiment, commanded by Vicomte de Poudeux, was among forces under Saint Simon brought from the West Indies to Yorktown. Régiment de Touraine principal engagements: Yorktown ; St Christophe ; Les Saintes.

French Revolution

In 1791, the provincial names of the French regiments were abolished and a number was assigned to each of them. Thus the regiment of Touraine became the 33rd line infantry regiment.

Steffi Scherzer (born 14 July 1957) is a German ballet dancer, at the Berlin State Opera from 1975 to 2003, prima ballerina there from 1987, and director and instructor at the Tanz Akademie Zürich of the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste.

Career 

Scherzer was born in Stollberg. She was trained for seven years at the Staatliche Ballettschule in Berlin, by Martin Puttke, among others, East Germany's leading ballet teacher.  She was engaged at the Deutsche Staatsoper (Berlin State Opera) in 1975, as a soloist from 1978, as Primaballerina in 1987.

Scherzer danced leading parts in classical and neo-classical ballets, also as an international guest dancer, collaborating with choreographers including , Maurice Béjart, William Forsythe, Pierre Lacotte, Roland Petit and Uwe Scholz. She performed the title role in Tchaikovsky's Dornröschen (The Sleeping Beauty) with Rudolf Nureyev, and the double role Odette/Odile in Tchaikovsky's Schwanensee (Swan Lake) with Oliver Manz. One performance of Schwanensee, in a choreography by Patrice Bart, conducted by Daniel Barenboim, was filmed and shown live simultaneously in a cinema in Berlin and 100 cinemas in France. The production was filmed for TV in December 1998. She danced in William Forsythe's choreography of Steptext with partners Uwe Krotil, Ralf Stengel and Oliver Wulff. A reviewer noted: "Überragend Steffi Scherzer in rotem Trikot, die die extremen Körper- und Raumspannungen eindrucksvoll verkörpert." (Outstanding Steffi Scherzer in a red jersey, who embodies extreme physical and spatial tensions.) When Scherzer retired from the stage in 2003, she was named an honorary member of the Deutsche Staatsoper.

Scherzer and Matz have been teachers and directors of the Tanz Akademie Zürich of the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste from 2004, when they created the institute, which followed the "Schweizerische Ballettberufsschule" (Swiss ballet vocational school). Their students have earned prizes at competitions such as the International Ballet Competition in Cape Town.

Scherzer has served on the jury of international dance competitions such as the Youth America Grand Prix and Prix de Lausanne. She herself was awarded a bronze medal at the Varna International Ballet Competition and the special prize in Osaka in 1980.

The Logan County District Library is a public library system that serves communities throughout Logan County, Ohio, United States.

The system's central library, which is also its oldest and largest branch, is the Knowlton Library, located along Main Street (U.S. Route 68) in downtown Bellefontaine.  The Knowlton Library was named for Austin Eldon Knowlton, for whom the school of architecture at Ohio State University is also named.

Although the current structure was only completed in 1994, the library has occupied a location in downtown Bellefontaine since its founding in 1901.  From 1905 until 1994, the library occupied premises at the intersection of Main Street and Sandusky Avenue (U.S. Route 68 and State Route 47), just south of its current location.  Construction of that library building, which is now occupied by Logan County agencies, was financed by Andrew Carnegie.

Other libraries
Branch libraries are also maintained in six villages throughout the county: De Graff, East Liberty, Lakeview, Rushsylvania, West Liberty, and West Mansfield.  Because of their smaller size, these branches offer fewer services and a smaller selection of books and media.

Two other public libraries exist in Logan County: the Sloan Library in Zanesfield and the Belle Center Public Library.  These two libraries are not part of the Logan County District Library system.

The main living quarters are on the upper level, with eight rooms including the living room, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms, with stone fireplaces in the dining and living rooms. The main entrance is from a porch off the living room. The downstairs features a family room with another stone fireplace, formerly the visitor information office. There remainder of the lower level is occupied by a variety of rooms and winding corridors that connect to a two-car garage. The building is currently used for administrative offices for one of the park's concessionaires.

Historic designation
The Superintendent's Residence was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 6, 1974.  It is a major contributing component to the Grand Canyon Village Historic District, a National Historic Landmark District.

The Detroit and Howell Railroad (D&H) is a defunct railroad organized in 1864 to build a line connecting Howell and Detroit in southeast Michigan.

The company incorporated on June 17, 1864 at a meeting of Howell businessmen in New Hudson, though articles were not filed until September 21. A stock issue of $400,000 was authorized for construction of the proposed  line. By 1866 enough money had been raised to conduct engineering surveys, and grading commenced the following year. The start of construction in Plymouth, Michigan, on February 6, 1867 was marked by a ceremony where a cherry wood tie was fashioned on the spot and laid on the center line of the road. The area was known as Shearers Cut.

By early 1870, the D&H had completed  of line, although it remained unopened.

On March 29, 1870, the D&H merged with the Howell and Lansing to form the Detroit, Howell and Lansing under James F. Joy. The merger agreement was filed April 11, 1870, marking the end of the D&H. However, as of 2011 much of the D&H's route is still in use by CSX as part of its Plymouth Subdivision.
