TreeDL

Tree Description Language (TreeDL) is a computer language for description of strictly-typed tree data structures and operations on them. The main use of TreeDL is in the development of language-oriented tools (compilers, translators, etc.) for the description of a structure of abstract syntax trees.

Tree description can be used as
 a documentation of interface between parser and other subsystems;
 a source for generation of data types representing a tree in target programming languages;
 a source for generation of various support code: visitors, walkers, factories, etc.

TreeDL can be used with any parser generator that allows custom actions during parsing (for example, ANTLR, JavaCC).

Language overview 

Tree description lists the node types allowed in a tree. Node types support single inheritance. Node types have children and attributes. Children must be of defined node type. Attributes may be of primitive type (numeric, string, boolean), enum type or node type. Attributes are used to store literals during tree construction and additional information gathered during tree analysis (for example, links between reference and definition, to represent higher-order abstract syntax).

Operations over a tree are defined as multimethods. Advantages of this approach are described in the article Treecc: An Aspect-Oriented Approach to Writing Compilers

Tree descriptions support inheritance to allow modularity and reuse of base language tree descriptions for language extensions.

See also 
 ANTLR - parser generator that offers a different approach to tree processing: tree grammars.
 SableCC - parser generator that generates strictly-typed abstract syntax trees.

Menissa Rambally

Menissa Rambally  (born 1976) is a Saint Lucian politician who represented the Castries South East constituency for the Saint Lucia Labour Party, until she was defeated in the general election of 11 December 2006. She was appointed Permanent Representative for Saint Lucia to the United Nations in 2012.

She was the Minister of Culture in the government of the Saint Lucia Labour Party. Rambally was the youngest candidate and the youngest MP in the country's history, entering parliament at 21 years of age.  She is of Indian, African and European ancestry. She is a graduate of the Leon Hess Comprehensive School and a Business Graduate of Caribbean Union College, an affiliate of Andrews University, Michigan.

Menissa is the eldest daughter of Nelista and Hezekiah Rambally, with her sisters Pearl and Shameela. Shameela, meanwhile, is determined to blaze her own trail in the business sector. Menissa entered politics due to the untimely death of her father who had been selected as the St Lucia Labour Party candidate for the Castries Southeast constituency. Upon entering the race, she quickly became a favorite to gain a seat for the opposition.

As the results came in, it became apparent that she would not only win her seat but would do so decisively. She would remain in power until the next election cycle which she won handily. The election of Rambally and Sarah Flood Beaubrun in 1997 and 2001, according to Cynthia Barrow-Giles, "transformed the St Lucia lower House of parliament from a virtual 'all boys camp' to a more gender integrated elected parliament". Rambally served in the Ministry of Agriculture as permanent secretary, minister of tourism, and, most recently, minister of social transformation.

After her loss to Guy Joseph, she began enhancing her career as a political consultant and at the same time furthering her education. She believes in young people and have promised to help them as much as she could. Her favorite quote to young people is "knowing young people like you is what makes public life so fulfilling."

Peter Howard (politician)

Peter Howard (May 21, 1772 – November 24, 1843) was a farmer, businessman, doctor and political figure in Upper Canada.

He was born in Albany County, New York in 1772. His father served with the British during the American Revolution. Peter settled in Elizabethtown Township in Upper Canada. In 1804, he was elected to represent Leeds in the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada and served until 1812 when he was defeated by Levius Peters Sherwood. In 1806, he was named a justice of the peace in the Johnstown District. In 1808, with Thomas Dorland and David McGregor Rogers, he withdrew from the house to protest an amendment to the District School Act. Later, he tended to support the more radical reformers, such as Joseph Willcocks, in the assembly. In 1816, he was reelected to represent Leeds and served until 1820. He practiced as a doctor after the War of 1812, although he was only licensed to practice medicine in 1830.

He died in Brockville in 1843. He is buried in the Soperton Cemetery near Delta, Ontario.

His son Matthew Munsel also represented Leeds in the Legislative Assembly.

Cyprian Lansiquot

Cyprian Lansiquot is a Saint Lucian lawyer and politician. He was a Labour Party member of the House of Assembly of Saint Lucia from 1997 to 2006 and served as a parliamentary secretary.

Private career
Lansiquot has a diploma and a post-graduate diploma in agriculture from the University of the West Indies and has worked as an agricultural officer. He received a law degree from the University of Wolverhampton in 2004, was called to the Bar of England and Wales in November 2010, and joined the Saint Lucia Bar Association the following month.

Politician

Lansiquot was elected for the Anse-la-Raye/Canaries constituency in the 1997 national elections, in which the Labour Party won a majority government. In May 1997, he was appointed by incoming prime minister Kenny Anthony as parliamentary secretary to the minister of communications, works, transport and public utilities. He held this position for the next five years, having won a second parliamentary mandate in 2001, and later served as parliamentary secretary to the minister of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries from 2002 to 2006.

Lansiquot fended off a high-profile challenge by trade union leader David Demacque for the Anse-la-Raye/Canaries Labour nomination in early 2006. The Labour Party was defeated in that year's general election, and Lansiquot narrowly lost his seat to Keith Mondesir of the United Workers Party.

Gintaras Karosas

Gintaras Karosas (born 25 June 1968 in Kryziokai, Vilnius district) is an artist who founded Europos Parkas and designed its landscape.

Karosas organized several exhibitions of his graphic works as a secondary school student. After graduating from the Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts with a degree in sculpting, he studied at museums in Japan and the United States.

His work on Europas Parkas began when he was nineteen - he located a wooded site outside of Vilnius that he felt would be suitable for a sculpture park and began clearing its overgrowth. He placed its first sculpture, Symbol of Europos Parkas, in 1991. Five other Karosas sculptures have since been placed in the park: Monument of the Centre of Europe, For Your Convenience, LNK Infotree, The Place, and Foundations / Window. He also designed its educational center, which features a grass roof.

In 1995 The Wall Street Journal included Karosas in its list of twenty young people who had brought about important changes in Eastern and Central Europe. He received a Saint Christopher statuette from the City of Vilnius in 2001 and a National Cultural Award of Advancement in 2006.

In 2017 Karosas suggested introducing a stronger form of lithuanisation of Poles (which he calls polonised Lithuanians) inhabiting the Vilnius region and claiming the Polish city of Suwałki for the Republic of Lithuania.

Visiting Professor, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge. (2013-)

Academic Research 

Professor Ian Grant has made fundamental contributions to the development of the mathematical theory on relativistic effects in atomic physics, of importance for detailed studies of all atomic systems and particularly for heavy atoms and for highly ionised atoms in laboratory and astronomical plasmas. He has also been instrumental in the creation of computer codes that are used worldwide (in particular GRASP) and have had a major impact on the understanding of both the foundations of the relativistic theory of many electron systems and on the precision of theoretical interpretation of a variety of properties of atoms. Professor Grant and his co-workers extended this approach to the relativistic modelling of molecular electronic structure and the development of the BERTHA computer package. Further research work included studies of electron scattering from heavy atoms and of the structures of molecules containing heavy atoms, culminating in the creation of the DARC computer package, integrating modules designed for calculations using relativistic R-matrix approach and GRASP. He also led important earlier work on radiative transfer in stellar and planetary atmospheres.

Professor Grant’s book Relativistic Quantum Theory of Atoms and Molecules: Theory and Computation reviews the field of relativistic atomic and molecular structure to the mid-2000s.

Marcus Nicholas

Marcus Neill Nicholas is a Saint Lucian politician who represented the Dennery North constituency for the United Workers Party (UWP) in the House of Assembly of Saint Lucia. He was also the Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly.

He has been involved in the political arena since 1997, when he lost an election to the Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP) candidate Anthony Torrence. In the 2001 general election, Nicholas won the seat from Dennery North Constituency as a UWP candidate; in this election, the UWP only won three constituencies: Micoud North, Micoud South, and Dennery North. Nicholas subsequently became the Leader of the Opposition. In the midst of internal party disputes, the UWP announced that it had terminated his membership in the party on July 29, 2004.

Nicholas was narrowly re-elected as the UWP candidate from the Dennery North Constituency in the general election held on 11 December 2006, defeating SLP candidate Damian Grieves. Following the election, in which the UWP won a majority in the House of Assembly, UWP leader John Compton offered Nicholas a junior position in the government, and Nicholas was reportedly unhappy about this. He nevertheless became Minister in the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in Compton's government, which was sworn in on 19 December 2006.

Following Compton's death, he was one of only two UWP members of parliament (along with Rufus Bousquet) who did not receive posts in the government of Prime Minister Stephenson King, which was appointed on September 12, 2007.

Jack Halpern (chemist)

Jack Halpern (19 January 1925 – 31 January 2018) was an inorganic chemist, the Louis Block Distinguished Service Professor of Chemistry at the University of Chicago. Born in Poland, he moved to Canada in 1929 and the United States in 1962.

His research focused on mechanistic organometallic chemistry, especially homogeneous catalysis, beginning with early work on the activation of hydrogen by soluble complexes.  He contributed to elucidation of the mechanism of the hydrogenation of alkenes by Wilkinson's catalyst and the stereodetermining step in certain asymmetric hydrogenation processes.  Related areas of interest include the reactivity of metal-carbon bonds, e.g., in cobalamins and pentacyanocobaltate derivatives.

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1974. From the American Chemical Society he won the Willard Gibbs Award (1986), and awards for Inorganic Chemistry, Organometallic Chemistry, and the Distinguished Service in Inorganic Chemistry, the latter in partial recognition of his editorship of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Bukit Merah Bus Interchange

Bukit Merah Bus Interchange is a bus interchange located in the Bukit Merah Town Centre, along Bukit Merah Central in Bukit Merah, Singapore. The interchange serves the nearby residential estates of Telok Blangah and Bukit Purmei and also the commercial buildings in Bukit Merah Central. It is the only bus interchange in Singapore that does not have a direct link to an MRT station. However, several services link commuters to nearby MRT stations from the interchange. Services 5, 16 and 851 link the interchange to Tiong Bahru, Service 132 links to Redhill, while Service 176 links to Telok Blangah.

History
The interchange was constructed as part of a scheme to improve bus services in the Telok Blangah area. Operations at the interchange commenced on 28 September 1980, and it was officially opened on 14 February 1981, with Minister without Portfolio Lim Chee Onn attending the ceremony.

Bus Contracting Model

Under the new bus contracting model, all the bus routes buses were split into 6 route packages - 167 under Sembawang-Yishun, 176 under Choa Chu Kang-Bukit Panjang, 851 under Seletar, 132 and 153 under Sengkang-Hougang, 139 under Bishan-Toa Payoh and the rest are under Bukit Merah Bus Packages.

Hans Heilbronn

Hans Arnold Heilbronn  (8 October 1908 – 28 April 1975) was a mathematician.

Education
He was born into a German-Jewish family. He was a student at the universities of Berlin, Freiburg and Göttingen, where he met Edmund Landau, who supervised his doctorate. In his thesis, he improved a result of Hoheisel on the size of prime gaps.

Life
Heilbronn fled Germany for Britain in 1933 due to the rise of Nazism. He arrived in Cambridge, then found accommodation in Manchester and eventually was offered a position at Bristol University, where he stayed for about one and a half years. There he proved that the class number of the number field  tends to plus infinity as  does, as well as, in collaboration with Edward Linfoot, that there are at most ten quadratic number fields  of the form ,  a natural number, with class number 1. On invitation of Louis Mordell he moved back to Manchester in 1934, but left again only one year later, accepting the Bevan Fellowship at Trinity College, Cambridge. In Cambridge Heilbronn published several joint papers with Harold Davenport, in one of which they devised a new variant of the Hardy-Littlewood circle method, now sometimes referred to as the Davenport-Heilbronn method, proving that for any indefinite diagonal form  of degree  in more than  variables whose coefficients are not all in rational ratio there exists  in  such that  is arbitrarily small. During the Second World War he was briefly interned as an enemy alien but released to serve in the British Army.  In 1946 he returned to Bristol, becoming Henry Overton Wills Professor of Mathematics. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1951 and was president of the London Mathematical Society from 1959 to 1961.

Heilbronn and his wife moved to North America in 1964. He stayed at the California Institute of Technology for a while, then moved on to Toronto, where he was Professor of Mathematics at the University of Toronto from 1964 to 1975. He became a Canadian citizen in 1970.

His PhD students include Inder Chowla, Tom Callahan and Albrecht Fröhlich.

The Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research is named in his honour.

Clarkston railway station

Clarkston railway station is a suburban side platform railway station in the town of Clarkston, East Renfrewshire, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and is on the East Kilbride branch of the Glasgow South Western Line. It was opened in 1866 by the Busby Railway.

History 
The station was opened by the Busby Railway on 1 January 1866.  Services were subsequently extended through to East Kilbride by the Caledonian Railway two years later and eventually to High Blantyre (on the Hamilton and Strathaven Railway), though the section beyond East Kilbride closed back in the 1940s.  A further pair of connections to the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway were subsequently constructed around 1903-4 by the latter company, though only the south to west one saw regular traffic and even then for just a few months.

Proposals put forward by British Rail in the early 1980s would have seen the former south to east curve reinstated to allow East Kilbride trains to be re-routed via ,  and  to Glasgow Central.  The scheme would have seen the branch electrified but the Clarkston to Busby Junction portion would have been closed, along with  and  stations.  The plans were not well received and were eventually dropped.

Services 
The station has a half-hourly service in each direction (including Sundays) to  and .

Busby railway station

Busby railway station is a railway station in the village of Busby, East Renfrewshire, Greater Glasgow, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and is on the Glasgow South Western Line  south of  towards .

History 
The station was opened by the Busby Railway on 1 January 1866.

The 1914 edition of the Ordnance Survey map shows that there was once a goods yard immediately south-east of the present station. There was also a goods line (identified as a 'mineral railway') that branched southwards off the main line immediately south of Busby Station. It passed through the area now occupied by housing on Westerton Avenue and then swung south-westwards through what is currently woodland and a walkway. The line then terminated in a goods yard which was located in the modern day Field Road Industrial Estate.

There was also a station building on the down (Glasgow bound) line but this was destroyed by fire in 1965.

The line reduces from double to single track just to the east of the station, remaining single all the way to the terminus except for a passing loop near Hairmyres.  Signalling control is now handled by the West of Scotland SCC at Cowlairs, which replaced the former Glasgow Central signalling centre in 2008.

Services 

The station has a daily (including Sundays) half-hourly service in each direction; to  and to . A few extra trains operate at weekday peak times.
