Gustav Adolf Hippius (12 March 1792, Nissi Parish - 6 October 1856, Reval) was a Baltic-German portrait painter and lithographer.

Life and work 
His father, , was an evangelical chaplain. He lost his mother at an early age, and was sent to a boarding house in Reval. From 1810 to 1812, he studied drawing at a local religious school, with , a famous painter from Dresden, who was tutoring the children of August von Kotzebue . While there, he became lifelong friends with Otto Friedrich Ignatius, another aspiring artist and son of the school's founder. His friends helped him stage an exhibition, which earned him enough money to study in Prague. He then studied copper engraving at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, from 1813 to 1815.

In 1816, he and his friend, , travelled through Salzburg, Munich, Venice and Florence; arriving in Rome in  the Spring of 1817. He lived there for two years, and became associated with members of the Nazarene movement, including  Johann Friedrich Overbeck, who became a good friend. He produced numerous portraits there; notably one of Beethoven, which is now at the Beethoven House in Bonn. After leaving there, he stopped in Switzerland before returning home.

In 1820, he married Ignatius' sister, Friederike (1798-1886). Shortly after, they moved to Saint Petersburg, where he worked as a portrait painter. Two of their sons, Otto and , became architects.

When Ignatius died in 1824, he left a major mural at the church in Tsarskoye Selo unfinished. Hippius completed it in 1825. This helped bring his works to the attention of Georg von Engelhardt, former Director of the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, who offered him financial support and helped him to publish one of his most important works; Contemporaries. A Collection of lithographed portraits of government officials, writers and artists. Dedicated to H. I. V. Emperor Alexander I.

He also worked as a drawing teacher; at the "" and the Elizabethan Institute, as well as publishing several instructional manuals. He returned to Estonia in 1849, and settled in Reval, where he continued to produce portraits, including a series of women in traditional costumes. He died in 1856 and was buried in Hageri, near his birthplace.

The third son of Giles Rooke, a merchant of London and director of the East India Company, by Frances, daughter of Leonard Cropp (1710-1785) of Southampton, he was born on 3 June 1743. He was educated at Harrow School and matriculated at St John's College, Oxford on 26 November 1759, graduating B.A. in 1763. He proceeded M.A. in 1766, and in the same year was elected to a fellowship at Merton College, which he held until 1785.

Rooke was also called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1766, and went the western circuit. In 1781 he was called to the degree of serjeant-at-law, and in April 1793 was made king's serjeant. At the next Exeter assizes he prosecuted to conviction William Winterbotham, a dissenting minister at Plymouth, for preaching sermons of a revolutionary tendency; and on 13 November of the same year was appointed to the puisne judgeship of the Court of Common Pleas, left vacant by the death of John Wilson. At the same time he was knighted. Rooke presided at the trial at the York Lent assizes in 1795 of Henry Redhead Yorke for conspiracy against the government. 

He died on 7 March 1808. Rooke left a large family by his wife, Harriet Sophia Burrard (d. 1839), the sister of Admiral Sir Harry Burrard Neale 2nd Bt., of Walhampton. Lady Rooke was the daughter of Colonel William Burrard of Walhampton, Hampshire; Governor of Yarmouth Castle. The Rookes were the grandparents of the author William Henry Giles Kingston.

Li Shanlan (李善蘭, courtesy name: Renshu 壬叔, art name: Qiuren 秋紉) (1810 – 1882) was a Chinese mathematician of the Qing Dynasty.

A native of Haining, Zhejiang, he was fascinated by mathematics since childhood, beginning with the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art. He eked out a living by being a private tutor for some years before fleeing to Shanghai in 1852 to evade the Taiping Rebellion. There he collaborated with Alexander Wylie, Joseph Edkins and others to translate many Western mathematical works into Chinese, including Elements of Analytical Geometry and of the Differential and Integral Calculus by Elias Loomis, Augustus De Morgan's Elements of Algebra, and the last nine volumes of Euclid's Elements (from Henry Billingsley's edition), the first six volumes of which having been rendered into Chinese by Matteo Ricci and Xu Guangqi in 1607. With Wylie he also translated Outlines of Astronomy by John Herschel and coined the Chinese names for many of the low-numbered asteroids.

A great number of mathematical terms used in Chinese today were first coined by Li, who were later borrowed into the Japanese language as well. He discovered the Li Shanlan identity (Li Shanlan's summation formulae) in 1867.  Later he worked in the think tank of Zeng Guofan. In 1868, he began to teach in Tongwen Guan where he collaborated closely with linguist John Fryer.

In enzymology, a methylitaconate Δ-isomerase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

methylitaconate  2,3-dimethylmaleate

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, methylitaconate, and one product, 2,3-dimethylmaleate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular oxidoreductases transposing C=C bonds.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is methylitaconate Delta2-Delta3-isomerase. This enzyme is also called methylitaconate isomerase.  This enzyme participates in c5-branched dibasic acid metabolism.

Laureen Ann Harper ( Teskey; born June 23, 1963) is a Canadian graphic designer. She is married to Canada's 22nd prime minister, Stephen Harper.

Life and career
The eldest of three, Laureen Ann Teskey was born in Turner Valley, a rural town southwest of Calgary, to rancher parents who owned an electrical contracting company. Her parents, Barbara and Dennis Teskey, divorced in 1991, after 29 years. After graduating from Oilfields High School, she attended the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology where she studied journalism and photography.

She was first married to New Zealander Neil Fenton from April 1985 to 1988. Teskey joined the Reform Party of Canada in the late 1980s. She met Stephen Harper in 1990 while working for GTO Printing, a computer graphics firm operating in Calgary that helped create professional graphs and tables for Harper's major paper for his master's degree in economics at the University of Calgary. They married on December 11, 1993.

Surname
There was initially confusion in the Canadian media about which surname Laureen Harper uses — at different times, media references to her have called her Teskey, Harper, or Teskey Harper (not hyphenated). She used the name "Laureen Teskey" after her 1993 marriage to Stephen Harper, but after her husband's victory in the 2006 federal election, she began using the name "Laureen Harper" in her public role as a spouse of the Prime Minister.

Campaigning
When her husband ran in the 2006 elections, she campaigned alongside him. She was frequently seen at the podium on behalf of and with her husband.

Public life

She had an active public life while at 24 Sussex Drive. She supported causes such as the National Arts Centre where she was Honorary Gala Chair starting in 2005. She was also an active supporter and campaigner for animal welfare organizations such as the Ottawa Humane Society. She accompanied her husband on international trips, for example the G8, G20 and others. Mrs. Harper hosted the spouses of G8 and G20 leaders in June 2010 in Toronto, Ontario.

She created some controversy when she notified the National Arts Centre on September 24, 2008, that she would not be able to fulfill her role as Honorary Gala chair on October 4. This announcement came  just days after her husband said that rich galas aren't something that resonate with ordinary people. Harper later responded saying that the circumstances of her being unable to attend had nothing to do with his comments.

On June 3, 2013, Harper and Ottawa city councillor Allan Hubley announced a new federal anti-bullying strategy to train approximately 2,400 teenagers across Canada in delivering peer education workshops and presentations against bullying to their fellow students.

In geology, sima () is an antiquated blended term for the lower layer of Earth's crust. This layer is made of rocks rich in magnesium silicate minerals. Typically, when the sima comes to the surface, it is basalt, so sometimes this layer is called the 'ocean layer' of the crust. The sima layer is also called the 'basal crust' or 'basal layer' because it is the lowest layer of the crust. Because the ocean floors are mainly sima, it is also sometimes called the 'oceanic crust'.

The name 'sima' was taken from the first two letters of silica and of magnesia. Comparable is the name 'sial', which is the name for the upper layer of Earth's crust (continental crust).

Petrology 
The sima has a higher density (2800 to 3300 kg/m3) than the sial, which is due to larger amounts of iron and magnesium, and smaller amounts of aluminium.  When the denser sima comes to the surface it forms mafic rocks, or rocks with mafic minerals. The most dense sima has less silica and forms ultramafic rocks.

Anja Heidi Thauer (3 July 194518 October 1973) was a German cellist.

Biography
Born in Lübeck, Thauer had her first music lessons in the town of Braunschweig.  The family subsequently moved to Erlangen.  Her parents, particularly her mother, Ruth Thauer (née Meister), recognised that she had an above-average musical talent at an early age.  Thauer played violin and cello duets with her mother in public at age 12.  She made her debut with the Baden-Baden orchestra at age 13 playing the Boccherini-Grützmacher B-flat cello concerto.  In due course, Thauer attended the conservatory in Nuremberg.

At age 14, Thauer was accepted into the master class of Professor Ludwig Hoelscher.  At age 15, she studied with André Navarra at the Paris Conservatory, and in parallel, she studied painting, philosophy and other literature courses at the École normale supérieure.  Thanks to her adoptive father's senior position at Siemens, Thauer lived with her mother in Paris when she was 15 years old.  During her studies in Paris, Thauer developed a notable professional musical partnership with Claude Françaix, the daughter of Jean Françaix, and the two performed his Fantasies. At age 16, she won an international music competition in Paris.  She received a four-year stipend from the French state.  The next year, 1962, she was awarded the "Grand Prix with distinction" in the final exam among 22 candidates, and subsequently left the Conservatory.  Thauer continued studying with Navarra for a year and received her diploma in 1963.

In 1964, she was awarded the Nuremberg Prize.  She toured widely throughout England, Europe, Scandinavia and the Far East, but never performed in North America.

Thauer performed radio concerts at Radio Bremen, at the SWR with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, and at the NDR with the Hanover Radio Orchestra.  She recorded commercially for Deutsche Grammophon, including the Cello Concerto of Dvořák with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Zdeněk Mácal, and chamber works of Max Reger and Jean Françaix with Jean Françaix as the pianist.

Later, Thauer became involved in a relationship with a married doctor in Wiesbaden.  The relationship was broken off and, on 18 October 1973, Thauer committed suicide in her home in Germany.  Five days later, the doctor also committed suicide.

In 22 first-class matches, he took 41 wickets at an average of 26.86 and best figures of 8/34. These figures came against Ireland in 1972. These figures remain to this day the best innings bowling figures for Scotland in first-class cricket. As a lower-order batsman, Goddard scored 371 runs at a batting average of 13.25, with a high score of 39. He captained Scotland from 1974, having replaced James Brown, until 1980 when he was replaced by Richard Swan.

He made his List A debut for Scotland against Leicestershire in the 1980 Benson & Hedges Cup, a match which marked Scotland's debut in that format. He made 14 further List A matches for Scotland, the last of which came against Gloucestershire in the 1983 NatWest Trophy. In his 15 List A matches, he took 9 wickets at an average of 45.44, with best figures of 2/25. With the bat, he scored 58 runs at an average of 6.44, with a high score of 14.

Outside of cricket, he worked as an accountant. In the 1982 New Year Honours Goddard was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire for services to Scottish cricket. In 2011 he was one of the twelve initial inductees into the Scottish Cricket Hall of Fame.
