Antoine-Élisabeth-Cléophas Dareste de la Chavanne (28 October 18206 August 1882) was a French historian born in Paris, of an old Lyon family. His reputation rests on his authoritative major work, Histoire de France, published in nine volumes (1865–79).

Educated at the École des Chartes in Paris, he became professor in the faculty of letters at Grenoble in 1844, and in 1849 at Lyon, where he remained nearly thirty years. He died at Lucenay-lès-Aix (Nièvre département).

His works comprise: Histoire de l'administration en France depuis Philippe-Auguste (2 vols., 1848); Histoire des classes agricoles en France depuis Saint Louis jusqu'à Louis XVI (2 vols., 1853 and 1858), now quite obsolete; and a Histoire de France (8 vols., 1865-1873), completed by a Histoire de la Restauration (2 vols., 1879), a good summary of the work of Louis, baron de Viel-Castel, and by a Histoire du Gouvernement de Juillet, a dry enumeration of dates and facts. Before the publication of Lavisse's great work, Dareste's general history of France was the best of its kind; it surpassed in accuracy the work of Henri Martin, especially in the ancient periods, just as Martin's in its turn was an improvement upon that of Sismondi.

Legionella feeleii is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium from the genus Legionella  which was isolated from an automobile plant and which was held responsible for causing Pontiac fever in 317 workers. The organism did not grow on blood agar, required L-cysteine, and showed significant quantities of branched-chain fatty acids. More recently, an unusual, extrapulmonary case was described in a 66-year-old woman admitted to Hopital Nord, Marseille, France because of a complicated cellulitis and an abscess on her right leg following a suspected  insect or spider bite.

Joshua Kennedy Lyon (born June 25, 1974) is an American journalist and author. He is the author of Pill Head: The Secret Life of a Painkiller Addict, published by Hyperion on July 7, 2009. Pill Head is part memoir, part investigative journalism and chronicles prescription painkiller abuse in America. He currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.

Biography
Joshua Lyon was born in Nashville, TN. He attended high school at Hamilton Central in Hamilton, New York and majored in Literature at Purchase College.

Books
Pill Head: The Secret Life of a Painkiller Addict is part memoir and part investigative journalism. The book weaves together the stories and views of addicts, doctors, experts and governmental agents—demonstrating how the lives and decisions of each are intertwined in America's drug epidemic.

In the summer of 2003, Lyon noticed a large amount of email spam promoting easy procurement of drugs like Valium, Xanax, and Vicodin, without a prescription. In the name of "journalistic curiosity,", Lyon convinced his editor to let him try to buy the pills online for a story, to see if the emails were legitimate.

Lyon acquired the online drug delivery with a budget of $600 provided by Fairchild Publications. Lyon wrote the article and later that night his curiosity led him to sample from the stash. Lyon recounted in his book that his editor called him in a panic, and asked what he had done with the pills. She was nervous that he had taken them. He assured her that he would flush the pills down the toilet, then promptly went and took three Vicodin. "That was all it took to seal the deal — I'd discovered my perfect drug," he said in the book.

Reception
Pill Head received a starred Kirkus review, and Mother Jones named it one of the top books of 2009.

Ghostwriting
Lyon is also a professional ghostwriter and co-author. His co-authored book with YouTube personality Joey Graceffa was a New York Times bestseller.

Gloucester Marine Railways (established 1859) is one of the oldest continuously operated shipyards in the U.S. And is located on the northern tip of Rocky Neck in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

Originally an extension of the Dodd & Tarr Fisheries, the railways at this site were constructed in 1859 on the northernmost tip of Rocky Neck. Up until the 1970s the marine railways used a steam engine to haul vessels, the gears of this steam engine were built at the same factory that built the motor for the USS Monitor, the Civil War battleship.

In 1874 the site was given the name "Rocky Neck Marine Railways Association" by the Tarr brothers after they took over the firm of Dodd & Tarr. The railways were used to maintain the Gloucester fishing fleet of schooners that fished the water of the Grand Banks.

Now known as Gloucester Marine Railways, the shipyard has maintained and repaired thousands of fishing, commercial, and pleasure boats. Large wooden schooners are still commonplace here. A modern Travelift has been installed but the original railways are still in operation to this day. The site was used as a location in the shooting of the 2000 film The Perfect Storm.

Charles Harry Epps, Jr. (born July 24, 1930) is an American orthopaedic surgeon who served as Dean of the Howard University College of Medicine.

Early life and education 
Epps was born in Baltimore and grew up in Pimlico. At the age of six he first noticed how unequal his society was, with the separate white school being better equipped than his own. By the age of fifteen, Epps lost his father to a heart attack. He attended Frederick Douglass High School, where he graduated as valedictorian. He was appointed to the Maryland State Boys' State Senate, where he successfully called for the elimination of segregated public transport. He was encouraged by his high school biology teacher to study chemistry at Howard University. He earned his medial degree from Howard University, graduating magna cum laude. In an interview with The Washington Post, Epps said that as a Black medical student in the 1940s he could only study at Howard University or the Meharry Medical College. Throughout his medical degree he drove a taxicab. He specialised in orthopaedic surgery at Freedmen's Hospital, and was only the fifth African-American in history to become an orthopaedic surgeon.

Research and career 
After his residency, Epps joined the Medical Corps where he was made a Captain. He was honourably discharged in 1962, and returned to Washington, D.C. to start his own medical practise. Epps was elected President of the American Orthopaedic Association in 1986, and was the first African-American person to hold such a position. In 1988 Epps was made Dean of the Howard University College of Medicine. His leadership resulted in a significant increase in endowment funding as well as several new research chairs.

In 1994 Epps was made chief executive officer of the Howard University Hospital. He was awarded the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Humanitarian Award in 2000, and the Marymount University Ethics Award in 2003. Epps retired from Howard University College of Medicine in 2001. In 2008 Howard University College of Medicine established the Charles H. Epps, Jr. Chair in Orthopaedic Surgery.

Personal life 
Epps was married to Roselyn P. Epps, the first African-American President of the American Medical Women's Association and the first African-American and first female president of the District of Columbia Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Roselyn passed away in December 2014.
