Seth Doane

Seth Doane is an American television journalist, working for CBS News.

Career
Doane is a Peabody Award winning CBS News reporter who was named correspondent for "60 in 6", the new 60 Minutes streaming program. "Seth has covered some of the most important stories of the last decade, and I can't wait for him to start reporting for '60 in 6'", 60 Minutes Executive Producer Bill Owens said in March 2020 when CBS made the announcement.

Doane had been a regular contributor to CBS Sunday Morning, and his role as a correspondent was formalized in early 2020 as announced by CBS News. CBS Sunday Morning executive producer, Rand Morrison, said "Seth is a superb fit for "Sunday Morning". His reporting is smart and sensitive - and he brings a signature style to every story he does."

He was part of the team at CBS News Sunday Morning to be awarded the 2020 News Emmy Award for "Outstanding News Special" for a special broadcast from Florence, Italy, "A Sunday Morning In Florence". The Rome, Italy based Doane contributed three separate pieces to the Emmy award-winning broadcast.

Doane began his career at WNYW, New York City's Fox affiliate, as a field producer. Channel One News, the high-school TV network, then made him a news anchor, sending him abroad to cover stories in San Salvador, Indonesia, Iran, Afghanistan, and the Sudan.

In April 2006 CNN hired Doane as a special video news correspondent for South Asia, including India.  He remained with CNN, based in New Delhi, until June 2007.

In August 2007, Doane became a national correspondent for CBS News, covering domestic issues. In 2008 he began reporting a segment titled "The Other America" on the effects of the economic recession on individual people and families. Doane is also a frequent correspondent for CBS News Sunday Morning.

From April 2013 until March 2016, Doane was based in Beijing, China, covering events in Asia for CBS News. Since April 2016, he has been based in Rome and covering Europe, Africa, and the Middle East for CBS News.  On September 6, 2014, Doane married Andrea Pastorelli in a same-sex civil ceremony in Arezzo, Italy at the Villa Rosa Badia Di Campoleone.

In March 2020, Doane tested positive for COVID-19. He was one of the first news correspondents to go public and told Gayle King on CBS This Morning that he did so to raise awareness, combat stigma and help people recognize symptoms.

Childhood
Seth Doane is a 12th generational Cape Codder. The detail was revealed in a story for CBS which profiled his father, Paul Doane a former Republican State Senator who represented "Cape Cod and the Islands" in Massachusetts. The story was about his father's hobby, oyster fishing in Wellfleet.

William Reginald Rawlings

William Reginald Rawlings, MM (September 1890 – 9 August 1918) was a decorated Australian Aboriginal soldier of the First World War. He was also the uncle of Captain Reginald Saunders, the first Aboriginal commissioned officer in the Australian Military Forces.

Early life
Rawlings was born in Purnim, Victoria, in September 1890 to William and Bessie Rawlings. He grew up on the Aboriginal reserve at Framlingham, and was a horse-breaker around Purnim before enlisting in the Australian Imperial Force at Warrnambool, Victoria on 20 March 1916.

First World War
After undertaking initial training, Rawlings embarked on HMAT Orsova from Melbourne on 1 August 1916. He joined the 29th Battalion, 8th Brigade in France, as part of the battalion's 8th Reinforcements.

Rawlings was awarded the Military Medal for bravery during heavy fighting along the Morlancourt Ridge on 28–29 July 1918. Private Rawlings was killed in action on 9 August 1918, during the capture of Vauvillers, France. Rawlings was 27 years old. His MM was gazetted on 11 December 1918.

Elam School of Fine Arts

The Elam School of Fine Arts, founded by John Edward Elam, is part of the Faculty of Creative Arts and Industries at the University of Auckland. It offered the first  Bachelor of Fine Arts programme in New Zealand starting in 1967. Students study degrees in fine art, across three buildings, the Mondrian building, Building 431 (or the "Main" fine arts building), and Elam B, which includes the studios for postgraduate and doctoral students on Princes Street, in central Auckland, New Zealand.

History

The school was founded from a bequest on the death of Dr. John Edward Elam in 1888 of ten thousand pounds. His will stated 'in the selection or admission of pupils those shall be preferred who, from poverty or circumstances, are unable at their own charge to obtain for themselves the advantages furnished by the school.'  Edward William Payton was the first director, retiring in 1924 after 35 years. It opened in 1890 and for the first 60 years ran full and part-time instruction in art to both adults and children. The first premises of the school was in 'rooms located under the bell tower of what is now the Auckland City Art Gallery'. (History - Elam School of Arts)Archie Fisher was appointed principal in 1924 and was instrumental in the school's inclusion within the University of Auckland in 1950. A fire in 1949, which destroyed the school and library, was the catalyst, as well as the loss of pre-1950 administrative records, that resulted in joining with the University.The Bachelor of Fine Arts programme was established in 1967 and was the first fine arts bachelor degree in the country. (History - Elam School of Arts)In 1994  the George Fraser Gallery started to be administered by Elam School of Fine Arts, and it is mainly an exhibition space for their students. The gallery was before managed by the Sargeson Trust, named after Frank Sargeson. It is located in the downstairs premises of a historic stables in Princes St, Auckland. 

The Fine Arts Library housed New Zealand's largest collection of specialist monographs, and had an extensive collection of art books, which is believed to be the largest in New Zealand. In 2018 students and staff protested at Auckland University's Fine Arts Library as its proposed closure.

Baltia shawi

Baltia shawi, the Shaw's dwarf, is a small butterfly of the family Pieridae, that is, the yellows and whites. It is found at high altitudes in Central Asia.

Description

Male on upperside is pale white; base of wings irrorated with black scales. Forewing: costal margin very narrowly yellowish, costal and subcostal veins irrorated with black scales, a discocellular elongate oblique black spot; a narrowly sub-triangular short oblique pre-apical black bar, its apex downwards, and a series of inwardly triangular black spots on the termen, these narrow posteriorly and reach from the apex of wing to vein 1. Hindwing: uniform, the irroration (sprinkling) of black scales more extended than on the forewing.

Underside: forewing white; costa and apex irrorated with black scales, the costa and termen margined with a line of pinkish yellow; the black discocellular spot, the black pre-apical bar and terminal series of black spots much as on the upperside, but the last is ill-defined, somewhat diffuse at apex and does not descend below vein 3. Hindwing: white with a dull pinkish tinge all over; the whole surface irrorated with black scales that form a broad elongate patch on posterior half of the wing and an obscure curved macular discal band beyond the cell; discocellulars defined with black.

The female differs from the male as follows: Upperside: somewhat thickly irrorated all over with black scales. Forewing with the discocellular black spot and terminal series of inwardly-pointed triangular black spots as in the male, but the latter more complete, extends from apex to tornus, the spots are larger and there is no pre-apical bar, out a complete, outwardly dentate, curved discal black band that crosses the wing from costa to dorsum. Hindwing: the irroration of black scales very dense in a broad patch posteriorly, and so arranged as to form a curved macular discal band. Underside similar to that of the male, but on the forewing there is a complete terminal series of inwardly triangular black spots and a complete, outwardly dentate, curved discal black band; while on the hindwing the irroration of black scales is denser. In both sexes the antennae are white annulated (ringed) with black, the club black; head whitish; thorax and abdomen fuscous black; beneath: head and thorax fuscous black, abdomen prominently white.

Wingspan 34–50 mm.

Recorded from the Karakoram mountains at an elevation of ; found also in the Pamirs and Tibet.

Hemicholinium-3

Hemicholinium-3 (HC3), also known as hemicholine, is a drug which blocks the reuptake of choline by the high-affinity choline transporter (ChT; encoded in humans by the gene SLC5A7) at the presynapse. The reuptake of choline is the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of acetylcholine; hence, hemicholinium-3 decreases the synthesis of acetylcholine. It is therefore classified as an indirect acetylcholine antagonist.

Acetylcholine is synthesized from choline and a donated acetyl group from acetyl-CoA, by the action of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). Thus, decreasing the amount of choline available to a neuron will decrease the amount of acetylcholine produced. Neurons affected by hemicholinium-3 must rely on the transport of choline from the soma (cell body), rather than relying on reuptake of choline from the synaptic cleft.

Toxicity
Hemicholinium-3 is highly toxic because it interferes with cholinergic neurotransmission. The LD50 of hemicholinium-3 for mice is about 35 μg.

Oscar Wirkkala

Oscar Wirkkala (; October 30, 1880 – January 25, 1959) was a Finnish-American logger and inventor who spent much of his life in the Pacific Northwest.

Background
Oscar Wirkkala was born in Kaustinen, Finland.  His father Abraham and brother Andrew arrived in America first, working at a saw mill in Cosmopolis, Washington, to save money to pay for the migration of the rest of the family. Oscar arrived next, in 1898, followed closely by his mother, a sister, and three younger brothers. The family lived in the Naselle and Deep River area of Washington from 1899 to 1905.

Career
Wirkkala invented and developed the high lead method of logging. This skyline (or "spar") method, ideally suited for steep terrain, revolutionized the industry. He also invented important pieces of that industry's machinery used during the first half of the 20th century, including the ubiquitous choker hook.

His first patent was granted in 1917, and was for a four-drum donkey engine used in his high lead logging system. In the following years, several of his patented devices were manufactured, under the Wirkkala brand, at the Willapa Harbor Iron Works in South Bend. A few of his patented inventions were still in manufacture well into the second half of the 20th century. Wirkkala sued his own patent attorney for patent infringement on the choker hook, and after several years of litigation the suit was decided in Wirkkala's favor. Later, Wirkkala developed and patented a marine propeller. In the course of his career he patented at least 18 different inventions.

Personal life
Oscar Wirkkala married twice.  In 1908, Wirkkala married Johanna Mustola and the couple had three children.  A year after Johanna's untimely death in 1913, Oscar married Ida Haverinen. Oscar Wirkkala died in Seattle, Washington.

Legacy
Wirkkala was one of the original fifty persons inducted into the Washington State Hall of Fame. Wirkkala was added to the Washington state Centennial Hall of Honor in 1985.

Baltia butleri

Baltia butleri, the Butler's dwarf, is a small butterfly of the family Pieridae, that is, the yellows and whites. It is found at high altitudes in India and Pakistan.

Description

It closely resembles Baltia shawi, from which it differs as follows: 
The male has the upperside ground colour as in B. shawi. Forewing has the black markings also more or less similar but altogether smaller and narrower, the terminal series of spots reduced to three or four. Hindwing is similar, but there are two conspicuous black spots on the discocellulars. Underside of the forewing has the ground colour white, veins dusky, costa narrowly and apex suffused with pinkish ochraceous; the discocellular black spot as on the upperside; veins, 4, 5, 6, and apical portion of 7 broadly bordered on each side with black scales that run parallel to but do not touch the veins. Hindwing: ground colour pinkish ochraceous, the veins conspicuously white; all of them, except a small portion in the middle of the discocellulars, bordered, in the manner similar to the veins at the apex of the forewing, with broad lines of black scales on each side.

The female has the upperside similar to the upperside of the female B. shawi, but the wings are irrorated (sprinkled) with black scales only at their bases; the black markings on the forewing are altogether smaller and narrower, and the black curved, outwardly dentate, discal band becomes diffuse and ill-defined posteriorly. On the hindwing the discocellulars are prominently marked with an upper and a lower black spot, and the discal macular band is more conspicuous than in the female B. shawi. Underside precisely as in the male, except that on the forewing the discal black band is seen through by transparency from the upperside. In both sexes the antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as in B. shawi.

A variety potaxini Alpheraky, is recorded from the Xian-Shan, Koko-Nor, and western China. It differs from the typical form on the upperside, in the male by the restriction and narrowness of the black markings, in the female by the ground colour which is tinged with greenish yellow. On the underside there seems to be scarcely any difference.

The butterfly has a wingspan of 42–54 mm.

Distribution
Found in Ladakh, the Digha pass;  in Leh; Kardong Pass in the Karakoram and other areas at an altitude of .

Jackie Howe

John Robert Howe (10 July 1861 – 21 July 1920) was a legendary Australian sheep shearer at the end of the 19th century.  He shot to fame in pre-Federation Australia in 1892 when he broke the daily and weekly shearing records across the colonies.

Howe was born at Killarney near Warwick, Queensland. On 10 October 1892, Howe had shorn 321 sheep in seven hours and 40 minutes at Alice Downs station, near Blackall, Queensland.  This was a faster tally than any other shearer had achieved before. In the week beforehand, Howe also set the weekly record, shearing 1,437 sheep in 44 hours and 30 minutes. Howe's daily record was beaten by Ted Reick in 1950, but Reick was using machine shears, while Howe's hand shears were little more than scissors.

According to the Australian Dictionary of Biography, Howe's weekly record stood unbeaten as of 2005.

In October 2015, Howe's record was reported as still unbeaten after 123 years.

Howe was active during the shearer strikes of the 1891 and 1894, and was a committed trade unionist. After Howe's death, Queensland Premier T. J. Ryan said, in a telegram to Howe's widow, "I have lost a true and trusted friend and Labor has lost a champion". Jackie Howe was the subject of a book, Jack Howe: The Man and the Legend, by Barry Muir, and a bronze statue, on display in Blackall.

Jackie Howe's father, Jack Howe, was also a shearer and a clown with La Rosier's circus, claiming to be the first clown to travel the Australian colonies, and was town-crier in Warwick. Jackie Howe owned a pub, The Barcoo Hotel, in Blackall, Queensland. There is now a statue there of him holding a sheep.

Clothing

Jackie Howe became the name given to navy blue singlet tops. According to legend, this is what Jackie was wearing on the day he broke the shearing record. They are still popular today among Australian men.

Segregate (taxonomy)

In taxonomy, a segregate, or a segregate taxon is created when a taxon is split off from another taxon. This other taxon will be better known, usually bigger, and will continue to exist, even after the segregate taxon has been split off. A segregate will be either new or ephemeral: there is a tendency for taxonomists to disagree on segregates, and later workers often reunite a segregate with the 'mother' taxon. 

If a segregate is generally accepted as a 'good' taxon it ceases to be a segregate. Thus, this is a way of indicating change in the taxonomic status.  It should not be confused with, for example, the subdivision of a genus into subgenera.

For example, the genus Alsobia is a segregate from the genus Episcia; The genera Filipendula and Aruncus are segregates from the genus Spiraea.

Ecdeiocoleaceae

The Ecdeiocoleaceae comprise a family of flowering plants with two genera and three species. The botanical name has rarely been recognized by taxonomists.

The APG II system, in 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, 1998), does recognize such a family, and assigns it to the order Poales in the clade commelinids, in the monocots. Three species in two genera,  Ecdeiocolea and Georgeantha, both endemic to Southwest Australia, have been described to date.

Paws (Detroit Tigers)

Paws is the mascot of the Detroit Tigers. He is an anthropomorphic Bengal tiger dressed in a Tigers jersey and cap.

Character biography

Paws made his debut as the official Tigers mascot on May 5, 1995. He first started entertaining Tiger fans at Tiger Stadium, and now continues that trend at Detroit's Comerica Park. Besides cheering along with Detroit fans at Tigers home games, Paws visits schools, malls, and other special events around the greater Detroit area. He wears a Tigers hat and jersey; in previous years, Paws' jersey would have the current season's two-digit abbreviation (e.g. '10 for 2010). However, in 2011 and 2016, Paws' number changed to 00, since the Tigers retired numbers 11 and 16 in honor of Sparky Anderson and Hal Newhouser, respectively. His dress changes during Comerica Park theme nights such as a Santa Claus outfit during "Christmas in July" night or an Elvis Presley-inspired costume for Elvis Night.

Heonan of Silla

Heonan of Silla (died 861) (r. 857–861) was the 47th king of the Silla kingdom of Korea.  He was the younger half-brother of King Sinmu.   What little we know of his reign comes from the Samguk Sagi.

Following a famine in the year 859, he sent relief to the peasants and supported agriculture through the construction of irrigation works.

Being without a son, Heonan chose his relative Kim Eung-ryeom as his heir.  After his death, Kim Eung-ryeom took the throne, becoming King Gyeongmun.  His tomb in Gyeongju was known as the Gongjakji (공작지/孔雀趾).

Lottie, Louisiana

Lottie (pronounced Lot tee) is an unincorporated community located in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana United States, along U.S. Highway 190 near its intersection with Louisiana Highway 81. The population is 450. The zip code in this town is 70756.

History
When William Smith was appointed postmaster for a new post office to be located about five miles west of Livonia in 1900, the residents of this rural area had to come up with a name. After some thought, and no consensus was able to be reached, it was suggested that a drawing be held.  Lottie Raby's name was drawn and this southern Pointe Coupee post office has been named for her for over a century.

Wayi

Wayi () is one of two departments in Lac, a region of Chad. Its capital is Ngouri.

The province of Lake Chad is affected by a high level of insecurity resulting from economic, geopolitical and ecological issues. A 6-month project of the NGO ACTED aims to rehabilitate the infrastructure of 11 Health Centres (HC) supported by ALIMA in the Ngouri and Doum-Doum sub-prefectures, in the department of Wayi. This action is part of a community-based approach, coordinated with ALIMA, to improve health infrastructures and WASH practices, and thus reduce the risk of infection. The target beneficiaries are 16,602 households (99,614 people), including 22 beneficiaries of masonry training, and 110 households benefiting from CfW activities.

In the department of Wayi at the end of July 2017, an inter-communal conflict occurred between two communities in Doum-Doum sub-prefecture. The conflict was over the use of a polder for agricultural purposes. Nine people were killed and the local authorities moved about 600 people to a village near Doum Doum. Mediation by the authorities is still ongoing. After consultation with the authorities, the NGO ACTED had to redirect its cash transfer activities to other areas. This situation has prevented providing assistance to 965 people initially targeted in the localities of Albout, Doum Doum and Malloum.

Wayi also has issues with food security. In a World Food Programme report in 2017, it was reported that food insecurity increased in 15 departments, with the largest percentage increases observed in the departments of Wayi (+73.9 percentage points) and Ouara (+42.7 percentage points).

Landini (tractor)

Landini SpA, is an Italian agricultural machinery manufacturer. The company designs and builds tractors. The company was founded by Giovanni Landini in 1884 in Fabbrico, Italy. Landini had just started making tractors in 1925, when Giovanni died preventing the completion of the first prototype tractor. Giovanni Landini's sons took over the business and saw the completion of the tractor project.

Early models
In 1925, the sons built the first authentic Italian tractor, a 30 hp machine. It was a success and was the forerunner of the viable range of Landini 40 and 50 hp models which appeared in the mid-1930s and were to become renowned under the names of Velite, Bufalo, and Super. The first production tractors were powered by a 40 hp semi-diesel engine which was a two stroke single-cylinder unit. The company continued to produce semi-diesel engined tractors until 1957. When World War II started, the production stopped.

Diversification
In 1959, the first Landini crawler tractor, the C35, was manufactured, and the company was purchased 100% by Massey Ferguson. In 1973, Landini launched the 500 Series of 2 and 4 wheeled tractors. 1980 saw the company diversifying its products as well as specializing. Also in 1980, Landini started work on a vineyard tractor. In 1986, the new vineyard tractor was launched. In 1988, the company launched a redesigned series of tractors, the 60, 70, 80 Series.

Takeover

In 1989, Landini became a part of ARGO SpA as Massey Ferguson sold 66% of the company. Massey itself was bought by AGCO in 1994, while ARGO purchased more shares of Landini that year.  The final 9% of Landini that was owned by AGCO was bought by ARGO in 2000. Landini/ARGO continued supplying some tractors to AGCO under a supply agreement.

BeamWars

BeamWars is a Macintosh snake game released as shareware in 1992 by Steve Crutchfield. It allows up to four people to play simultaneously on a single keyboard.

Gameplay
The player controls a beam of light which is capable of moving up, down, left or right. The objective is to avoid hitting anything while forcing your opponents' beams to crash into yours, their own, or a wall. After a set amount of time, the walls begin to close in, making survival more difficult and forcing players closer together. The winner of each round is the last surviving beam and points are awarded based on how long each beam survived. After a few rounds, the player with the highest score wins the game. The game supports a maximum of 4 players, either human or computer controlled (which can be set to either Novice or Expert level). However, since the game could be played with 4 humans at the same time on the same keyboard, it was prone to the N-key rollover problem.

Reception
Prominent among the first generation of games requiring color and the Macintosh II series, BeamWars was described as the "third best Macintosh Shareware game of all time" in 1992. The MacUser Guide to Shareware (1993) stated "BeamWars stands out as one of the finest arcade-type games, commercial or shareware, ever written for the Macintosh" and described the game as "a delightful, nerve-wracking combination of sound, skill, and color."
