Compsolechia siderophaea is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1910. It is found in Mexico (Vera Cruz, Tabasco).

The wingspan is 11–15 mm. The forewings are greyish cinereous, profusely sprinkled throughout with whitish cinereous scales, leaving an ill-defined triangular umber-brown costal spot beyond the middle, with a shade of the same colour on the outer portion of the fold, and a straight umber-brown terminal band including the apex, preceded on the costa by an obscure pale ochreous spot. The hindwings are dark umber-brown.

The Maloja Wind () is a Foehn-type mountain wind that occurs in the upper Engadin, an alpine valley located in Switzerland. The wind blows up-valley during the nighttime and down-valley during the day, a deviation of the typical direction of mountain and valley winds. The phenomenon is caused by wind from the Val Bregaglia crossing the Maloja Pass and intruding into the Engadin. The Maloja Wind occasionally produces a weather phenomenon known as the Maloja Snake (), a low-lying cloud so named for its long, serpentine shape.

Description

Maloja Wind

The Maloja Wind is a Foehn-type wind that occurs in the upper Engadin in Switzerland. The wind blows up-valley during the nighttime and down-valley during the day, contradicting the typical direction of mountain and valley winds. 

The phenomenon is caused by wind from the Val Bregaglia crossing the valley's terminus at Maloja Pass and intruding into the adjoining Engadin. The roughly 1 km-wide Maloja Pass creates a box canyon that blocks moist air from the southern Po Valley from entering the Engadin. When combined with the height difference between Val Bregaglia and the Engadin, the rising air from the latter creates a pressure gradient between the high pressure Val Bregaglia and the low pressure Engadin. The air eventually rises over the Maloja Pass and into the Engadin. 

The Maloja Wind reaches a velocity of 20 to 30 knots, with the variation resulting from atmospheric conditions as the wind develops. It is generally less intense in evenings due to reduced insolation.

Maloja Snake

If the dew point in the Maloja Pass is met as a Maloja Wind passes, a low-lying cloud begins to form. The cloud takes on a narrow and elongated form as it is shaped by the walls of the valley, which shear and rotate its flow. This phenomenon is known as the "Maloja Snake", so named because of the long, serpentine shape of the resulting cloud. The Maloja Snake typically forms roughly 500 to 700 metres above ground level, and is roughly 50 metres thick. It travels through the Engadin and generally dissipates over Lake Sils and Lake Silvaplana, but can reach as far as St. Moritz.

In popular culture
The Maloja Snake is depicted in the 2014 film Clouds of Sils Maria. In the film, "Maloja Snake" is additionally the title of a play by fictional Swiss playwright Wilhelm Melchior, which depicts a tumultuous romance between two women. The film is credited with bringing popular attention to the Maloja Snake phenomenon.

Other examples 
Two valleys that drain from Mount Rainier in Washington produce Maloja Wind-like effects. They are the only valleys in the United States where these effects have been documented.

Piers Griffith (1568–1628) was a Welsh pirate.

Life
Griffith was the son of Sir Rees Griffith MP of Penrhyn, sheriff of Carnarvonshire in 1567, by his second wife, Katharine, daughter of Piers Mostyn of Talacre in Flintshire, and grandson of Sir William Griffith, chamberlain of North Wales. Accounts two centuries later connect Griffith with participation in the Spanish Armada campaign, and raids of Sir Francis Drake. These now are not given much credence by historians.

In the period 1600 to 1603 Griffith was active against Spanish shipping. At the beginning of the reign of James I, he is said to have been obliged to sell or mortgage his estate in order to purchase a pardon, or to defray the expense of his prosecution. This part of the record is considered at least plausible, and supported by contemporary evidence. His estate in any case was encumbered with debt.

After being mortgaged, Penrhyn was taken from Griffith by legal action in 1616. He died on 18 August 1628, and was buried in the broad aisle of Westminster Abbey. The name is variously written; but the Welsh form, Pyrs Gruffydd, is probably the most correct.

Family
He married Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas Mostyn of Mostyn (who in a second marriage had married Griffith's mother), and by her had issue three sons, who all died in their infancy, and four daughters.

Bayside Comprehensive School, or simply Bayside, is a comprehensive school in the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. It is one of three secondary schools in Gibraltar and covers year 7 to year 13 (age 11 to 18).

History
Bayside was established in 1972 when the comprehensive school system was implemented in Gibraltar. Four separate schools were merged to form Bayside, the sole secondary school for boys aged 12 to 18 (year 8 to year 13). The original four schools were St. Jago's Secondary Modern, Our Lady of Lourdes Secondary Modern the Gibraltar and Dockyard Technical School and the Gibraltar Grammar School. However, it was not until 1974 that all the students from those schools were housed in the one building on the old building of Bayside. 

In the September of 2019, new buildings for both Bayside and Westside opened up to new students of both genders, and the school became a co - ed school.

Subjects
Bayside offers a range of subjects at different levels. These are at Key Stage 3 (years 8 and 9), Key Stage 4 (years 10 and 11) and the sixth form (years 12 and 13). Students do their General Certificates of Secondary Education (GCSEs) during Key Stage 4. Students may choose to continue into the sixth form to study A-Levels.

Student body
The running of the school's student system consists of two separate parts. Firstly, there is the system of head boy, deputy head boys (two individuals) and assistant-deputy heads (four individuals, also known as Heads of House). In order for students to form part of this system, they must formally present themselves and state their interest to become head boy, or to fill in one of the other positions. After they do so, they must be elected by teachers. After teachers have considered the potential candidates they are then voted into their positions by their 6th-form colleagues. The second system of the student body is the student council which is described in the next subsection.

Student newspapers
Prior to 2009, Bayside school's student newspapers have had many titles ranging from Student world to simply Student Magazine. Over the years, these publications have been run by the students. In 2009, 6th form students looked to revitalise the undergoing tradition of having a school newspaper by introducing seasonal newsletters at different points during the year, as opposed to just one single newsletter at the end of the year. The newly branded Student Life was designed, written by and photographed by the students. In 2016, Bayside students in Year 12 created a replacement magazine in replacement called Baywatch. The magazine, run by John Peace, an English teacher at the school, is written, designed and marketed by a team of Year 12/13 (Sixth Form) students.

Mary Anne, Lady Hardy ( MacDowell; c. 1825–1891), also known as Lady Duffus Hardy, with novels published under the pseudonym Addlestone Hill, was an English novelist and travel writer.

Life
She was the only child of Charles MacDowell and Eliza, his second wife, born in Fitzroy Square, London, about 1825; her father had died five months before. She was entirely educated at home. She became the second wife of Sir Thomas Duffus Hardy, whom she married in 1850.

Sir Thomas died in 1878, and his widow received on 19 June 1879 a civil list pension, augmented in 1881. She died on 19 May 1891 at 124 Portsdown Road, London, and was buried at Willesden.

Works
Lady Hardy's first significant novel, Paul Wynter's Sacrifice, was published in 1869, was a success, and was translated into French. A new edition came out in 1881. Her next novel, Daisy Nicholl (1870), achieved great success in America. In 1880 and 1881 she travelled in the United States. Her tours prompted two books, Through Cities and Prairie Lands: Sketches of an American Tour, 1881, and Down South, 1883.

Shahalia (sometimes also Shalia, Shahlia) is a last name that is now primarily found in the erstwhile unified Punjab (British India) region of northern India presently known as Himachal Pradesh and in some parts of Jammu and Kashmir.  People with this last name have generally taken to farming after Indian Independence and related economic activity.  Some have moved to metropolitan cities after attaining higher education.

History and Founding
They are said to have originated from ancient Aryan warrior tribes.  They were primarily archers and swordsmen on foot, with certain clans mastering mounted warfare. They are snake, fire and sun worshipers.  However, this does not prevent them from honoring local Gods and Deities including Sufi dargahs.  They are historically a people owing no allegiance to any social order, community or kingdom.  Their rogue nature has earned them a repute for being honorable, upright, fearless, stubborn, difficult and truthful.  The surname Shahalia relates back to these people's place of origin, namely Shal, somewhere towards the west of the Indian subcontinent that is currently untraceable owing to antiquity and also due to poor recording of history among the Shahalias due to their flux from place to place, frequent warring and conflict and thus their knowledge system being primarily dependent on smriti (memory) rather than written text.

Social Order
Members under this last name are categorized by some under the Kshatriya caste in the Indian caste system.  However, there is no proof of their ever having been rulers of a kingdom or region.

Distribution
The majority of people with the surname Shahalia reside in Himachal Pradesh and some in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab, India, apart from cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, etc.

Xylophanes eumedon is a moth of the  family Sphingidae. It is known from Mexico.

It is similar to Xylophanes aristor but smaller and the forewing pattern is much more contrasted. It is distinguishable from most related species by the partial fusion and apical pinkish flush of the pale yellow spots of the median band of the hindwing upperside. The upperside of the abdomen has two narrow, pale lines, divided medially by a sharp, thin brown line of the same width. There is also a black basal patch and conspicuous longitudinal golden-yellow bands on either side of the anterior part of the abdomen. The first postmedian line on the forewing upperside is broad and very well-marked. The second is fused to the first. The interspaces between the first and third postmedian lines are very pale. The apical area on the forewing underside is pale buff on the costa, contrasting strongly with the orange-yellow ground colour. The median band of the hindwing upperside has pale yellow spots which are indistinct. The edges of these sports are suffused with orange-brown and in general, the three apical spots are more or less fused.

Adults are probably on wing year-round.

The larvae possibly feed on Psychotria panamensis, Psychotria nervosa and Pavonia guanacastensis.

Richard Joseph "Dick" Davisson (December 29, 1922 – June 15, 2004) was an American physicist.

Davisson was the son of Clinton Davisson, a Nobel laureate, and his wife Charlotte. Davisson's maternal uncle, Sir Owen Richardson, was also a Nobel laureate.

During World War II he worked on the Manhattan Project as part of the Special Engineer Detachment.  At Los Alamos, he met Professor Robert Williams, who later recruited him to teach at the University of Washington.

As a graduate student at Cornell after World War II, Davisson built a cosmic ray machine that would do everything but write a grad student's thesis. He acquired a huge magnet from Navy surplus, built a cloud chamber and a set of Geiger counters and designed a universal-focus camera to record cosmic ray events. Then he designed and built an early electronic computer to record and sort the events according to energy, mass, charge, direction and frequency. Davisson went on to the University of Washington without a PhD.

Davisson was a member of the University of Washington's team which designed a system for detecting subatomic particles known as muons. After the U.S. government pulled the funding on the Superconducting Super Collider project, the team was recruited by CERN to help build part of the muon detector of the ATLAS experiment in the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator, in which Davisson took part, e.g., creating tools to test the detector tubes and as a liaison between the University of Washington's team and the rest of the collaborating group.

Davisson retired in 2000, at the age of 77. He was married for forty years to Elizabeth "Betty" Davisson, a retired psychiatric social worker from whom he separated after fourteen years. They had one son.

Microthermal analysis is a materials characterization technique which combines the thermal analysis principles of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) with high spatial resolution of scanning probe microscopy. The instrument consists of a thermal probe  which is basically a fine platinum/rhodium alloy wire (5 micro meter in diameter) coated by a sheath of silver (Wollaston wire). The wire is bent  into V-shape and the silver sheath is etched away to form a fine pointed tip. The probe acts as both the heater as well as temperature sensor. The probe is attached to a conventional scanning probe microscope and can be scanned over the sample surface to spatially resolve the thermal behavior of the sample.

This technique has been widely used for localized thermal analysis, where the probe is heated rapidly to avoid thermal diffusion through the sample and the response of the substance in immediate proximity to the tip is measured as a function of temperature. Micro-thermal analysis was launched
commercially in March 1998. 

Microthermal analysis has been extended to higher spatial resolution to nanothermal analysis which uses microfabricated self-heating silicon cantilevers to probe thermomechanical properties of materials with sub-100 nm spatial resolution.

Jack Upland or Jack up Lande () is a polemical, probably Lollard, literary work which can be seen as a "sequel" to Piers Plowman, with Antichrist attacking Christians through corrupt confession. Jack asks a "flattering friar" (cf. Piers Plowmans "Friar Flatterer") nearly seventy questions attacking the mendicant orders and exposing their distance from scriptural truth.

Two extant works respond to Jack's questions: Responsiones ad Questiones LXV (before 1396) and Friar Daw's Reply (Digby 41, c. 1420). The latter text blasts John Wycliffe as one of history's major heretics. Responding to Friar Daw, an unknown author wrote Upland's Rejoinder, which survives in Digby 41, in the margins surrounding Friar Daw's Reply. Upland's Rejoinder intensifies the level of invective: Daw is said to recruit the young sons of true-living plowmen to become (paradoxically) "worldly beggars," apostates against true rule, and sodomites.  Jack Upland was printed by itself in an octavo edition c. 1536–40 by John Gough (STC 5098). John Foxe's Acts and Monuments (1563, 1570) reprinted Jack Upland and attributed it to Geoffrey Chaucer. Thomas Speght's 1602 edition of Chaucer's Works (STC 5080) included Jack Upland.  In 1968 P.L. Heyworth published all three works, Jack Upland, Friar Daw's Reply, and Upland's Rejoinder in an Oxford University Press edition..The three works also appear in the 1972 unpublished doctoral dissertation "The Origins of Subversive Literature in English," by John Roger Holdstock, for the University of California, Davis.

The Penex process is a continuous catalytic process used in the refining of crude oil.  It isomerizes light straight run naphtha (C5/C6) into higher-octane, branched C5/C6 molecules. It also reduces the concentration of benzene in the gasoline pool. It was first used commercially in 1958.
Ideally, the isomerization catalyst converts normal pentane (nC5) to isopentane (iC5) and normal hexane (nC6) to 2,2- and 2,3-dimethylbutane. The thermodynamic equilibrium is more favorable at low temperature.

The Penex process uses fixed-bed catalysts containing chlorides.  A single pass of feedstock with an octane rating of 50-60 through such a bed typically produces an end product rated at 82-86.  If the feedstock is subsequently passed through a DIH (deisohexanizer) column, the end product typically has an octane rating of 87-90.5.  If the feedstock is subsequently passed through a Molex-technology column, the end product typically has an octane rating of 88-91.  If the feedstock is first passed through a DIP (deisopentanizer) column to remove iso-pentanes, then through the Penex bed, and subsequently through the DIH column, the end product typically has an octane rating of 91-93.

The Penex Process is licensed by the UOP corporation and currently utilized at more than 120 units at petroleum refineries and natural gas liquids plants throughout the world.
