Ruggero Verity

Ruggero Verity or Roger Verity (20 May 1883 – 4 March 1959) was an Anglo-Italian entomologist who specialised in butterflies and a physician.

Life
Roger Verity was born in Florence on 20 May 1883, the elder son of Richard Henry Manners Verity (1844–1926) and his wife Matilda daughter of Cav. Sebastiano Fenzi and Emily Verity. Roger Verity married, on 1 June 1922, Donna Giulia dei Principi Gallarati–Scotti (20 November 1887 – 17 June 1938) daughter of Don Gian Carlo, Prince di Molfetta, Duca di San Pietro in Galatina, and Luigia Melzi D'Eril dei Duchi di Lodi.

Roger Verity was a lepidopterist and the author of over 150 papers and books including Rhopalocera Palaeartica. Papilionidae and Pieridae (1905–1911, 454 pages), Le Farfalle diurne d’Italia (Butterflies of Italy (volumes, 1940–1953, 1688 pages) and Les variations géographiques et saisonnières des Papillons diurnes en France (Geographic and seasonal variation of the butterflies of France) (three volumes, 476 pages).
He was responsible for the naming of two to three thousand butterflies, his collection of close to 250,000 butterflies many purchased from the dealerships "Staudinger Bang-Haas" and Orazio Querci together with his library is now in La Specola museum in Florence.

He lived in Florence and at "Cicaleto" (Villa Verity) at Caldine, He died 4 March 1959 and is buried at Sofiana. There is a memorial in the family chapel at Cicaleto.

Roger Verity created the term "exerges", writing: "[Exerges] always inhabit different land-areas, except in particular cases, such as large mountain chains and plains, which afford very different surroundings and climates within the same area; they often consist in a long chain of races stretching even from one continent to another ..." The modern term is cline.

Wisma Bapa Malaysia

Wisma Bapa Malaysia (Father of Malaysia building) also known as Bangunan Tunku Abdul Rahman (Tunku Abdul Rahman Building) is the Sarawak state secretariat building housing various government departments, including the Premier's office. It is located in Petra Jaya, Kuching. Wisma Bapa Malaysia was designed to be similar to the Malaysian Houses of Parliament in Kuala Lumpur in many aspects.

History 

Since its inception in August 1976, the building is sited on  manicured gardens. The foundation stone of the Wisma Bapa Malaysia complex was laid by the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, the late Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, on 30 August 1973 at the satellite township of Petra Jaya. The building was completed in 1976 and officially opened by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Yahya Petra of Kelantan on 17 August 1976 followed by the Rulers' Conference in the building complex.

State assembly building

This building complex also housed the August Institution (state assembly building) () from August 1976 until May 2009. The state assembly later moved to the New Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building after the period. Assembly sittings were held in the August House for over a period of 33 years. As the oldest August Institution in Malaysia, the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly was established after its inaugural meeting in Bintulu, Sarawak on 8 September 1867. The three-floor building can accommodate about 1,000 people, with 160 seats and a gallery for 224 people.

As of April 2012, the building is under a very bad condition since the state assembly moved to the new building. No refurbishment plans on the building were made.

La Specola

The Museum of Zoology and Natural History, best known as La Specola, is an eclectic natural history museum in Florence, central Italy, located next to the Pitti Palace. The name Specola means observatory, a reference to the astronomical observatory founded there in 1790. It now forms part of the Museo di Storia Naturale di Firenze. This museum is part of what are now six different collections at four different sites for the Museo di Storia Naturale di Firenze.

History
The museum has deep ties with history; parts of the collection can be traced back to the Medici Family. It is known for its collection of wax anatomical models from the 18th century.  It is the oldest scientific Museum of Europe.

This museum is located in the former Palazzo Torrigani at Via Romana 17, near the Pitti Palace. The Imperial Regio Museo di Fisica e Storia Naturale (The Imperial-Royal Museum for Physics and Natural History) was founded in 1771 by Grand Duke Peter Leopold to display publicly the large collection of natural curiosities such as fossils, animals, minerals and exotic plants acquired by several generations of the Medici. At the time of its opening, and for the first years of the 19th century, it was the only scientific museum or Wunderkammer of its kind specifically created for the public to view. It opened on 21 February 1775 to the public.

Today the museum spans 34 rooms and contains not only zoological subjects, such as a stuffed hippopotamus (a 17th-century Medici pet, which once lived in the Boboli Gardens), but also a collection of anatomical waxes (including those by Gaetano Giulio Zumbo and Clemente Susini), an art developed in Florence in the 17th century for the purpose of teaching medicine. This collection is very famous worldwide for the extraordinary accuracy and realism of the details, copied from corpses. Also in La Specola on display are scientific and medical instruments.  Parts of the museum are decorated with frescoes and pietra dura representing some of the principal Italian scientific achievements from the Renaissance to the late 18th century.

The collections include
Entomological collections belonging to:
Camillo Rondani, specimens of Diptera and Hymenoptera
Ruggero Verity, specimens of Lepidoptera
Pietro Stefanelli, specimens of Lepidoptera
Victor Antoine Signoret, specimen of Hemiptera
Adolfo Targioni Tozzetti
Fernandino Maria Piccioli
Waldemar Fuchs, specimens of Coleoptera
Pietro Bargagli, specimens of Coleoptera
 Giacomo Damiani, ornithological collections

Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathon

The Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathon (SLMM) is a two-day mountain marathon held in the English Lake District ('or its environs', such as the adjoining Howgill Fells) in early July. It was founded by David Meek, and sponsored by a long-time UK manufacturer of light-weight tents.

The SLMM has been held annually since 1978, apart from 2001, when the Lakeland fells were closed because of the Foot and Mouth crisis. 2018 will therefore be the 40th event.

It is usually considered to be less 'hair-shirt' than the slightly older OMM formerly Karrimor (OMM), since the weather is often mild, the courses slightly shorter, and the overnight camp is often found to be within walking distance of a pub. However, there have been notable exceptions to this - in 2004 (the 26th event, out of Coniston) consistently poor weather over two days forced many teams to retire. In 1997 (the 20th annual event, starting from Grasmere) courses were set which meant many teams were still out on the Sunday evening, long after the prize-giving was due to take place.

The event comprises 8 courses of which 6 are solely for pairs of runners, one is exclusively for solo competitors and one course is open for both pairs and solo entrants. The organisers encourage young competitors, with lower entry fees for Under 25s and there is a specific, handicapped class for parent and child (age 14+), Bedafell. In 2018 the event will include a Score class for the first time, called Fairfield.

The Backpackers Club has traditionally provided marshals for the event.  They assist at the registration and mid-way campsites and man the many checkpoints spread around the various routes.

Because of the popularity of the Lakes, courses are usually set to run 'across the grain' of the country, away from popular paths, so as to minimise erosion due to the race.

Mario Teaches Typing 2

Mario Teaches Typing 2 is a 1997 video game from Interplay. The game is a sequel to Mario Teaches Typing, and is for ages 6 and up.

Release
The game was released on March 31, 1997, for Windows and Macintosh.

Reception

All Game Guide gave the game a score of 3 out of 5, stating: "This program makes typing into a computer game, but it is definitely more suited for kids than adults. To kids, Mario is friendly and funny, to adults, he is sugary and overdone. Good for kids, but adults should probably find a more mature typing program". MacWorld heavily criticized the game's gameplay and graphics, and recommended that players play Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing instead.

Zoological Museum (Saint Petersburg)

The Zoological Museum of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences is a Russian museum devoted to zoology. It is located in Saint Petersburg, on Universitetskaya Embankment. It is one of the ten largest nature history museums in the world.

Peter the Great's Kunstkamera collections included zoological specimens. In 1724, the museum became a part of the Russian Academy of Sciences. A printed catalogue of the contents was published in 1742. It listed the zoology, botany, geology and anthropology specimens and contained an album of etchings of the building and plan of some of its parts.

In 1766, Peter Simon Pallas, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, was appointed curator of Zoology. In 1832, the zoological collection was split from the Kunstkamera and, in 1896, moved nearby to its present location in the former southern warehouse of the Saint Petersburg bourse (constructed in 1826-1832). In 1931, the Zoological Institute was established within the Academy of Sciences, which included the museum.

In the front hall of the museum is a monument to Karl Ernst von Baer by the entrance, as well as skeletons of cetaceans, including the enormous  blue whale, and mounted pinnipeds. In the gallery above the front hall, the entomological collection is displayed. The second and third halls form a long passage with systematic collections and dioramas dating back to the early 20th century. The second hall hosts the collection of fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and invertebrates, mounted or preserved in formalin, and their skeletons or shells. The collection of mammals, including woolly mammoths, is displayed in the third hall.

Pikku Kakkonen

Pikku Kakkonen (Finnish for "the little number two") is an ongoing Finnish magazine-type children's TV show shown on Yle TV2. The first episode aired on January 11, 1977. It finished with a bedtime story read by the late Lasse Pöysti (1927-2019) and an East German Sandman animation, setting the format for hundreds of later episodes.
 Currently the series airs twice a day (mornings and night) on the weekdays and once a day (mornings only) on the weekends. 
The Pikku Kakkonen show is based in Tampere, and its signature melodies (The Pikku Kakkonen mail tune and the main title tune) have been made into mobile phone ringing tones. On October 25, 1983, Pikku Kakkonen introduced a new logo that consists of a moon, a flower, a teddybear, a doll, a ghost, a fish, and a bird which together form the number 2; this matches the frequency for Yle's secondary channel. Pikku Kakkonen'''s current intro animation is illustrated by Camilla Mickwitz who was responsible for designing and animating the stop-motion opening and ending sequences. This logo has become a trademark symbol of Pikku Kakkonen. It will permanently remain in use.

A variety of live-action and animated television series air as part of Pikku Kakkonen, both domestic and imported. The imported series are mainly animated and have all been dubbed and localized into Finnish. The domestic series are mainly live-action.

Pikku Kakkonen is targeted at an audience of preschool and elementary school-aged children. It has a counterpart for older children called Galaxi which also airs on Yle TV2. Galaxi broadcasts live-action and animated television series both from Finland and overseas, all in the Finnish language.

Lacreek National Wildlife Refuge

Lacreek National Wildlife Refuge is a National Wildlife Refuge of the United States located in South Dakota. It covers 16,410 acres (66.4 km2) and is managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.

Early conservation work to protect the area was performed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s. A combination of wetlands, meadows and small stands of planted trees in the upland sections provide habitat for a wide variety of species. Much of the refuge has a series of low dikes that help to maintain some areas in a prolonged wetland state, increasing wildlife habitat, especially for migratory bird species. The refuge borders the Nebraska Sandhills, which are a source of water runoff into the early summer.

Since the late 1950s, 281 species of birds have been recorded at the refuge. During the spring and fall migratory periods, as many as 29,000 ducks and 37,000 geese have been observed. About 80 and 100 trumpeter swans spend the winter at the refuge each year. The endangered whooping crane and the bald eagle live in the area. Other raptors such as the red-tailed hawk, Swainson's hawk, northern harrier, American kestrel, great horned owl, and golden eagle can be seen. The introduced ring-necked pheasant is abundant.

Resident mammals include pronghorn, white-tailed deer, mule deer, coyote, and badger.

Waterways in the refuge are habitat for fish such as the yellow perch, northern pike, and many smaller species. They are a food source for many of the local birds.

The refuge allows fishing and hunting in limited areas and in season.

Bear Butte National Wildlife Refuge
Bear Butte National Wildlife refuge is now open to the public. Located in southwestern Meade County near Sturgis, South Dakota, Bear Butte is managed by Lacreek National Wildlife Refuge and South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks. It is located at .
