Marie-Joseph-Denis Farcot (1798–1875) was a French engineer, inventor and manufacturer, working mainly with steam engines. 
His son, Joseph Farcot, was also a noted inventor.

Early years

Marie-Joseph-Denis Farcot was born in 1798. His father was Joseph Jean Chrysostome Farcot, a former teacher at the college of Juilly, Seine-et-Marne.
He was orphaned at a young age, and became an apprentice with Achille Colas and with Jecker, an expert maker of precision instruments. In 1820 he began work in the studio of Chaillot, where he learned steam engine construction. His training led him to create steam engines that were also precise instruments.

Manufacturer and inventor

In 1823 Farcot established a workshop on the rue Neuve-Sainte-Geneviève. In 1829 he received a bronze medal for two inventions, a variable-speed pump and a pump with two pistons in one body, giving a continuous jet. In 1834 he was awarded a silver medal for an olive oil press.
In 1836 Marie-Joseph Farcot patented the first method of steam distribution that gave almost complete variability to the regulator.
In 1839 he had transferred his workshop to the rue Moreau, and that year received another silver medal for an innovative steam engine with variable power.

In 1846 he transferred his metallurgical factory to Saint-Ouen, Seine-Saint-Denis, where he purchased land covering . 
The factory was accessible by railway branches from the north and the west. It mainly produced steam engines, but also made boilers, pumps and other products. 
The factory employed 145 workers in 1849, and 500 to 700 between 1872 and 1902.
Marie-Joseph Farcot worked with his son, Jean Joseph Léon Farcot, who obtained many patents for mechanical engineering inventions, notably the servomechanism.
Their company was called Farcot and Son.

In 1854 Marie-Joseph Farcot was awarded patents for two ways to modify Watt's governor so as to eliminate offset.
In 1857 Marie-Joseph Farcot  proposed a number of improvements to steam hammer design, including an arrangement so the steam acted from above, increasing the striking force, improved valve arrangements and the use of springs and material to absorb the shock and prevent breakage.
He and his son Jean Joseph obtained another governor patent in 1862, and in 1864 a patent for a spring-loaded governor.

The Goulandris Museum of Natural History is a museum in Kifisia, a northeastern suburb of Athens, Greece. It was founded by Angelos Goulandris and Niki Goulandris in 1965 in order to promote interest in the natural sciences, to raise the awareness of the public, in general, and in particular to call its attention to the need to protect Greece's natural wildlife habitats and species in the danger of extinction.

The museum includes large collections of insects, mammals, birds, reptiles, shells, rocks, minerals and fossils, from the rich natural wildlife of the Greek territory. The botanical collections number over 200.000 species of plants, among which there are 145 newly discovered ones, which have been recorded thanks to the museum's research. The kernel of the botanical collection was formed when it acquired the collection of Constantine Goulimis, the author of Wild Flowers of Greece that was illustrated by Niki Goulandris. In the museum's laboratories, scientific research is being carried out in the areas of ecology, botany, zoology, geology, palaeontology and biotechnology. In the exhibition rooms are presented in detail the variety and interdependence of the biocommunities and the floral, animal and geological wealth of Greece.

The Goulandris Museum of Natural History also functions as a complementary educational institution for all levels of education. Its activities include further education programmes, seminars, lectures, the publication of books and other material, and itinerant exhibitions on crucial environmental issues in Greece and abroad. Its publications include a scientific journal, the Annales Musei Goulandris (1973–). The Museum is linked to international organizations and to Institutes of Higher Education.

Some of the most important exhibits of the museum are the Zoology Room, the Palaeontology Room and the display of bivalve molluscs from various parts of the world.

In 2010, rhizomes of Iris hellenica (found in the mountains of the Peloponnese) were given the garden of the Goulandris Natural History Museum, who had funded Dionysios Mermygkas, to study the plants of the mountains. The iris grew well vegetatively for a year, but failed to flower. Unfortunately they did not survive the following year, but they survived in Copenhagen (who also received rhizomes).

Teechers is a play by John Godber, written in 1984 and published in 1985. It was first performed by the  Hull Truck Theatre Company at the 1987 Edinburgh Festival starring Martin Barass as Salty, Gill Tompkins as Gail and Shirley Anne Selby as Hobby. In 2010 a revival of the play was again performed at Hull Truck Theatre, before touring at other venues. The cast included Zoe Lister as Gail, Peter McMillan as Salty, and Claire Eden as Hobby. The play was updated with modern references and modern music. It was recently performed at Settle College.

It is a play within a play in which three students performed for their teachers. Everything in the play is reduced to the bare essentials, with very little set and the three actors playing twenty other parts. The students perform to an audience an account of their time in secondary school (given the name 'Whitewall High School' for their performance), specifically their time with Mr. Jeff Nixon, the new drama teacher who ignites their passion for the stage with his idealism and belief that all children should be treated equally. The children mention that the names of the characters have been changed: Mr. Nixon's real name is Mr. Harrison, mentioned at the beginning. At the end of the play, he leaves Whitewall High School to teach at St George's, another school that is regarded more highly. Once the three kids know that Nixon is leaving, they start to understand how much he helped them. Salty, in particular, wants to carry on with drama once he has left school.
The caretaker is called Doug. The play is set in Edinburgh

Characters

Lilian Hobson “Hobby” – The one in the trio fed up with her friends.
Gail Saunders – The bossy and sassy within the trio.
Ian Salt “Salty” – The fired soul, doesn't know what he'll do with his life after leaving school. Salty is a laid-back person with an attitude of a classic teenager with a common habit of overexaggerating. 
Mr. Harrison – the drama teacher, socialist and idealistic, called Mr. Nixon in the play, to "Protect the names of the innocent", young and casual.
Mrs. Hudson – the headmistress, called Mrs. Parry in the play, loud and large with a terrible dress sense.
Bobby Moxon – (Oggy Moxon) Bully of the school who scares teachers and students alike.
Ms. Whitham – Hopeless English teacher, eager to leave
Mr. Basford – The deputy head and maths teacher. Hates children, typically nasty.
Miss Jackie Prime – The sports teacher, young and bouncy.
Doug – The caretaker. Grouchy and assertive.
Mr. Dean – A teacher who thinks that all of the kids love him.

Boana xerophylla is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It's found in northern South America.

Taxonomy 
Boana xerophylla was described in 1841 as Hyla xerophylla. However, for decades in the 1900s, it was regarded as a synonym of Boana crepitans, until it was resurrected as a separate species in 2017. In 2021, the Boana xerophylla populations north of the Orinoco river were separated as a new species, Boana platanera. A population from Suriname has sometimes been called Boana fuentei, but it's currently classified as a synonym of Boana xerophylla.

Description 
The dorsal coloration of Boana xerophylla ranges from dark brown to green. It's average snout–vent length is .

Distribution 
Boana xerophylla is found in northern Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela south of the Orinoco river.

Johan Andreas Altenburg (1763–1824) was a Norwegian merchant and shipowner. He belonged to the patriciate of the port town of Skien and was the maternal grandfather of playwright and theatre director Henrik Ibsen.

Biography
Altenburg was born at Lille Ulefos, in Telemark, Norway. He was the son of sawmill manager Diderik Altenburg (1719–1766) and Marichen Johansdatter Barth (1737–1769). His parents died early. After the death of his father, his mother was married in 1767 to Engebreth Christopher Blom Bertelsen Bomhoff (1737–1800). After his mother's subsequent death, he and his siblings lived with their stepfather.

Johan Altenburg was originally a ship's captain, but stopped sailing at a relatively young age. Altenburg ran a lumber trade, owned several ships, a farm and a large brewery in the community of Bratsberg. He owned Altenburggården, a large manor in the center of Skien, where he lived with his family, and also owned one of Århusgårdene outside Skien, which the family used as a country house.

He married Hedevig Christine Paus (1763–1848), a sister of shipowner Ole Paus and Martha Paus (married Blom). His sister, Kristine Cathrine Ploug, lived with him and his family following the death of her husband in 1799. He was the father of Marichen Altenburg (1799–1869) and thus the maternal grandfather of playwright Henrik Ibsen. Following his death and his daughter's marriage to Knud Ibsen in 1825, his considerable fortune passed to his son-in-law, who however went almost bankrupt due to failed speculations in the mid-1830s. Almost the entire family fortune was lost by 1835. The Ibsen family had lived at the stately Altenburggården manor in central Skien, until Knud Ibsen's bankruptcy force them to move. 

Altenburggården manor burned to the ground in the 1886 citywide fire which also reduced much of Skien to ruins after which the center of town was rebuilt.

Healthy Investment is a British mutual friendly society that provides a range of ethical With-profits savings and investment products. It was originally formed in 1835 as Independent Order of Rechabites, and traded until 2004 as The Rechabite Friendly Society. It has more than 100,000 members and looks after over £115m of members' money.

History

On 25 August 1835 a small group of men, already committed to the total abstinence of alcohol, met in Mrs Meadowcroft's Temperance Hotel, Bolton Street, Salford in order to discuss a friendly society for those who had "signed the pledge" and abstained from alcohol. From its first procession on New Year's Day in 1836 the organisation grew rapidly with local groups known as "tents" being formed throughout the country. In 1842 contributions of two shillings per year for the under 35s entitled them to £5 death benefit and a further penny a week provided them with a sickness benefit of two shillings and six pence.

In 1999 the Society, by now known as The Rechabite Friendly Society, modernised and centralised its various local groups and regions into one Manchester-based Head Office. In 2004 the Society developed further and opened its membership to include temperate members or those who "enjoy alcohol in moderation". Today The Rechabite Friendly Society trades as Healthy Investment.

The Society's head office is now based in Bury, Greater Manchester.

Current Products
Tax Exempt Savings Plans,
Standard Savings Plans,
Investment Bonds,
Individual Savings Accounts (ISA),
Junior ISAs and
Child Trust Funds.

Ethical Investment

The society specialises in providing ethical savings and investment products. It remains true to its founders' principles and avoids direct investment in companies in alcohol, arms and tobacco industries and in gambling and pornography providers. This is actively managed by Investec.

Regulation

Healthy Investment is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority. Its members are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) which guarantees investors 100% of all their investment with the Society without limit.

Healthy Investment is a member of the Association of Financial Mutuals.
