description: Arthroleptis tuberosus Andersson, 1905
Arthroleptis tuberosus procterae De Witte, 1921 (new status)
Fig. 4C.
Area: All.
Season/survey: Wet (May, Nov 2018), dry (Aug 2019).
Material: CSB:Herp: RNBK 031, 056, 076, 085, 125, 216, 545, 585, 706, 719, 734; IVB-H-CD 18241, 18242, 18265, 18266, 18267.
Comments: Arthroleptis tuberosus is a medium-sized and little-known species, but it is supposedly widespread from Cameroon (or eastern Nigeria; Nneji et al. 2019) to eastern DRC (IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group 2017). Given that Amiet and Goutte (2017) recently proposed that this species consists of multiple subspecies (A. t. tuberosus, A. t. adelphus Perret 1966), and given the type localities of the available names, the central and eastern Congolian population should bear the nomen A. tuberosus procterae De Witte, 1921 (new status), type locality: “Beni (Kivu).” However, the status of this taxon, particularly whether it eventually merits full species status, requires further research. Arthroleptis tuberosus is abundant in forested regions in central, northern, and eastern DRC (G. Badjedjea, unpub. obs.). In Kokolopori, A. tuberosus was mostly found in forests, both primary and disturbed, and usually at night. Some specimens were caught in the early morning. This species usually sits on low vegetation at around 0.5– 1 m high, and it is occasionally found in leaf-litter. It was often found after rain.

Fig. 4E.
Area: Yalokole, Yetee, Yotemankele.
Season/survey: Wet (May, Nov 2018), dry (Aug 2019).
Material: CSB:Herp: RNBK 022, 023, 025, 087, 547; IVB-H-CD 18371–18375.
Comments: A large Arthroleptis that is widespread in the central and northeastern DRC, although specimens from Kokolopori seem to be larger than those from other regions. It resembles A. variabilis Matschie, 1893 (type locality in southwestern Cameroon) but is stouter, and superficially similar to A. stenodactylus Pfeffer, 1893 from the savannas of the southeast. It seems to be mostly terrestrial, typically found jumping on the ground during the morning hours. Individuals of this species were mainly collected in the primary forest habitat. The individuals exhibited variable coloration from light to dark brown. A phylogeographic study of the A. variabilis complex will shed more light on the evolutionary history and taxonomy of these Squeaker Frogs (D.C. Blackburn et al., in prep.).

description: Background: The human ear is unique to individuals and ear prints, like fingerprints, are discrete enough to distinguish even identical twins. So, external ear can be used to identify both living and deceased individuals. So, this study was conducted to evaluate stature and sexual dimorphism of the external ear using various morphometric parameters and morphological features for forensic identification.Methods: Study was conducted with 40 participants. Various measurements were taken, and morphological features of both right and left ear were noted. Later the results were analyzed statistically.Results: In males and females most, common shape was oval, and ear lobe was free. Most common shape of ear lobe in males was arched and in females was triangular. In males and females most common form of helix was concave marginal. In males most common shape of tragus was round while in females it was long. In males and females most common shape of Darwin’s tubercle was enlarged. It was seen that the right lobe width showed perfect separation, indicating its potential as an extremely reliable predictor. It was noted that in females the strongest correlation with height is with the ear inclination angle of both sides.Conclusion: The results of this study can help the forensic anthropologist in identifying the sex and stature of a person from various ear measurements.

description: This is volume II of the registry of New Jersey soldiers in the War of the Rebellion, the United States Civil War, by William S. Stryker. This volume continues the list and finishes with a report of the burial records of these men in cemeteries across many states. Stryker, newly appointed Adjutant General of New Jersey in 186&, was asked by Governor Marcus L. Ward to prepare an Official Register of the officers and men of New Jersey in the "War of Rebellion,"  the Civil War, 1861-1865. Stryker undertook the task with great scrutiny of records; cross-referencing and proof-reading the lists repeatedly. A request for publication and funding was passed by the State legislature in 18&1. Stryker submitted the Registry  to Governmor Joseph D. Bedle in 18&6.  The preface by Stryker provides an outline of how the troops were enrolled and a statement on the  accuracy of information on the burial of soldiers within the state. The first volume contains lists of generals and other staff officers followed by 1st Regiment Militia through the 32nd Regiment Militia. The second volume contains the 33rd Regiment through the 40th plus Batteries A-E, Misc. Organizations of calvary and infantry from Pennsylvannia, and the Verteran Reserve Corps of infantry.

description: In developing countries, every citizen has to juggle an endless list of documents, many requiring regular renewal. The process of obtaining these documents is no easier—worse still, each e-service demands its own set of unique IDs and passwords, adding layers of confusion and complexity. Instead of making things easier, this growing pile of documents and digital procedures makes life feel more frustrating and overwhelming.Government officials are swamped with an ever-increasing flood of applications for countless essential documents. And as if the paperwork wasn’t enough, each document must be meticulously verified at every stage - adding another layer of exhaustion to an already tiresome process.Despite all the technological advancements, no system, device, or app has been created to truly simplify this endless cycle of document management, photocopies, attestations, and verifications. The present innovation has been designed to break free from this drudgery and finally address the overwhelming burden of managing your personal records.

Arthroleptis phrynoides

description: Arthroleptis phrynoides (Laurent, 1976)
Fig. 4A–B.
Area: Yalokole.
Season/survey: Wet (May 2018).
Material: CSB:Herp: RNBK 058, 124.
Comments: Originally described in the genus Schoutedenella (Laurent 1976a). Only two probably adult females were found during the whole study, suggesting that this species is probably very cryptic or rare. This also corresponds to the relatively late discovery and description of this species, which was based only on one male and one female (Laurent 1976a). The external
morphology is concordant to the type material. Both specimens were found in primary forest near a stream (two different streams) sitting on vegetation about 0.5 m high in May 2018. The name phrynoides refers to the resemblance to the bufonid arboreal genus Nectophryne (Laurent 1976a). The similar morphology could point to an arboreal life history of this Arthroleptis, possibly also explaining its rarity. The species has a conspicuous verrucosity, the throat is black in both females, and the anterior part of the venter is black with diffused white spots. The tips of the toes and fingers are enlarged into distinct discs, an obvious adaptation to scansorial life. Our record is probably the first finding of this species since its description, extending its known range approximately 250 km northward from the type locality in Sankuru Province. The two localities are similar in terms of vegetation and climate, because they occur within a continuous forest block.

Season/survey: Wet (Nov 2018), dry (Aug 2019).
Material: CSB:Herp: RNBK 704; IVB-H-CD 18145, 18240.
Comments: This is another species that is either rare or has cryptic ecology, because only two females and one juvenile were found. It resembles A. phrynoides, which is syntopic, but has substantial differences in both morphological features and color pattern. Conspicuous markings in the form of white-black marbling are present on the ventrum and contrast with the reddish underside of the hind limbs. Discs on toes and fingers are not as distinct as they are in A. phrynoides, suggesting a less scansorial ecology. The two specimens were found on low herbaceous vegetation about 0.5 m high in disturbed habitat at the forest margin, while one specimen was hopping on the ground in primary forest at night after almost a full day of rain. The morphology does not conform to any of the known described species. A formal description of this new species will be given elsewhere (V. Gvoždík et al., in prep.).

description: This research will demonstrate a revolutionary advance in remote sensing capability in a very small and potentially low-cost device. By employing coherent optical techniques within a chip-scale integrated photonic circuit that contains all of the key optical transmitter and receiver elements of a LIDAR system, it appears possible to obtain very high resolution (sub-mm) range information at reasonable distances (~ meters to km) with much lower peak powers than typically utilized in classical pulsed LIDAR systems. Such an integrated chip will also require relatively low power to operate, so that a portable (hand-held) device should be feasible. One specific aim is to develop technology that would support a practical hand-held LIDAR ¡¥gun¡¦ with state-of-the-art capabilities. In this work researchers at UCSB, who have done leading research on analogous photonic ICs (PICs), will collaborate with Rockwell-Collins engineers, who have experience with LIDAR systems, to research the feasibility of integrating such advanced coherent optical LIDAR concepts on single semiconductor chips. Prototypes will ultimately be developed and evaluated jointly by UCSB and Rockwell-Collins investigators. Following this work the viability of the desired high-performance hand-held LIDAR gun will be evaluated as a product.

description: This book was an attempt by two authors to visually demonstrate in text and in a charted timeline, events, large and small, in U.S. political development and in the world during the prior four centuries 1492-1910 A.D. Legal and constitutional events as well as treaties were indicated as important by their large print. Smaller events have smaller text and the time sequencing was done to show the relative duration of an event over time and through political administrations. Maps, charts and study guides accompany the text.

Fig. 4F.
Area: Yalokole.
Season/survey: Wet (May 2018).
Material: CSB:Herp: RNBK 054, 140.
Comments: Another small Arthroleptis from the “ Schoutedenella ” group, like A. phrynoides and A. sp. aff. phrynoides, although this one rather resembles A. xenochirus from wooded savanna uplands of southern DRC and surrounding countries (Bittencourt-Silva 2019; Ernst et al. 2020). The vegetation and climate in central Congo are very different from the southern part of the country (Vancutsem et al. 2009), suggesting that this Arthroleptis is probably another yet-undescribed species deserving more attention.

This genus is related to Arthroleptis and was recently synonymized with it within a large phylogenetic metaanalysis of recent amphibians (Dubois et al. 2021; given obviously in error as a synonym of Astylosternus in the text, while as a synonym of Arthroleptis in the phylogenetic trees). However, we follow the last focused study on these genera (Blackburn 2008) and continue to recognize them here as two separate genera, as do Blackburn et al. (2021) in the note at the end of the article on the phylogeny of Cardioglossa and Frost (2021) in his database.

description: This short text of four chapters plus an appendix seek to meet and answer the position, set up by Earl Russell, the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, 1861, that the recognition of the American rebels as a belligerent power was a necessity and not a choice; and that this hasty recognition by two European powers, Britain and France, and their subsequent declaration of neutrality helped to bring about the "most gigantic and immoral sedition in history," which resulted in "inaugurating the bloodiest and most cruel civil war since the Christian era."

Personal Memoirs of P. H. Sheridan
Creators: name: Sheridan, Philip Henry
Publisher: name: Project Gutenberg.
Year: 1888

description: Sheridan's two autobiographical volumes explored life in the United States before, during and after the 'War of Rebellion.' Sheridan was born to immigrant Irish parents who moved with the westward bound population settling in Ohio. Sheridan traveled extensively during his schooling and his career in the U.S. Army. The campaigns of the Civil War are covered as is his participation in the Indian wars during the movement west of the U.S. population. Sheridan was known as 'ruthless' but he did not see himself in this light.

description: This study described the character and culture the African-American people have created for themselves in the United States, first as slaves and then as a free people. It pointed to the many important contributions they have made to U.S. cultural life. The spotlight was on what they feel and think, on attitudes that have developed, and on the increasingly vocal protests against the unfair treatment directed at the African-American population.

Swallow Expansion Device: Phase I Clinical Trial

Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this investigation is to conduct a crucial Proof of Concept clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of manual control of the upper esophageal sphincter using a surgically implanted Swallow Expansion Device (SED) as therapy for people with profound swallowing difficulty (oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD)). Causes of OPD include advancing age, stroke, head and neck cancer, head injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, pseudobulbar palsy, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and myasthenia gravis. Currently, there are no options for persons with life threatening, profound OPD other than tube feeding or surgery, all of which are invasive and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The SED is an implantable medical device that assists with swallowing. The plate of the device is attached to the cartilage of the esophagus. The post protrudes from the skin. By manually pulling on the SED post, the patient opens the esophagus allowing for food and saliva to pass. This seemingly simple procedure would dramatically enhance an individual's quality of life and prevent aspiration of food and saliva into lungs. Testing in living animals and human cadavers has proven successful (Belafsky, Laryngoscope, 2010), and the device is ready for living human implantation. In this Proof of Concept clinical trial, the SED will be tested in a cohort of individuals with life threatening aspiration and profound feeding tube-dependent OPD, and they will be closely monitored throughout the one year study period. The project milestones are to establish the safety of the SED, to assess swallowing improvement and enhanced upper esophageal sphincter opening with the device, and to evaluate improvement in dsyphagia-specific quality of life. The ultimate goal of this Proof of Concept clinical trial is to establish the foundation for out-licensing or partnering with a medical device company to bring the SED to market.

description: †SUPERFAMILY NEOLEPADOIDEA SUPERFAM. NOV.
Diagnosis: Eight-plated capitulum comprising paired scuta, terga, upper latera, rostrum and carina. Asymmetry commonly involves loss of the upper latus on one side of the capitulum.
Comments: The group forms a well-defined clade based upon molecular analysis. All living species inhabit hydrothermal vent or seep habitats. There is remarkable morphological convergence of some taxa with Brachylepadomorpha (Gale et al., 2020), and the neolepadomorphs were probably derived from a form close to Pycnolepas. Gale (2019) included the Balanomorpha, Brachylepadomorpha, Neolepadomorpha and Verrucomorpha in the clade Unilatera, characterized by possession of only two latera (upper latus pair).

Review of the Judge Advocate General of the proceedings, findings, and sentence of a general court martial held in the city of Washington, for the trial of Major General Fitz John Porter of the United States Volunteers
Creators: name: No Name Supplied

Year: 1863

description: Joseph Holt, Judge Advocate General in a report to President Lincoln reviewed the court martial proceedings, findings and sentence in the trial of Major General Fitz John Porter charged with disobeying orders from his commander, General Pope, during battle near Manassas between Aug. 2&-29, 1862. Porter's claim that he had it on good authority to believe his army "was pushed out to save the army of the Potomac"an army that could take care of itself" made it appear that his retreat was premeditated. There was testimony to confirm this. However, Judge Holt remarks the defendant may have had considerations of self-preservation as well as patriotism. Based on the defendant's prior good reputation, the usual sentence of death was not handed down. General Porter was "cashiered and barred" from holding any office or position within the Government of the U.S.

Comments: A little-known Cardioglossa from the Central Congolian forests, closely related and morphologically similar to C. gratiosa from northwestern Central Africa (Blackburn et al. 2021). This species is known only from males so far (Hirschfeld et al. 2015). We also found only males, calling from leaf-litter near small streams in primary forest. This species has obviously cryptic ecology, and it is not easy to locate even calling males, while females remain unknown to science. Our new records from Kokolopori are located between the only two known distribution sites of this species in western Mai-Ndombe Province and western Tshopo Province (Hirschfeld et al. 2015).

description: Passport to Wellness Intervention for Black MSM (PTW) Black men having sex with men (BMSM) have the highest rates of HIV in L.A. County, California and there is compelling evidence that this health disparity is related to culturally related socio-structural factors which interfere with their accessing early HIV/STD diagnosis and treatment. The proposed research study will focus on BMSM who have not tested in over a year and implement an innovative, culturally-informed, peer-based, and client-centered approach that increases their awareness of HIV status and is designed to improve their timely entry into prevention, care, and treatment services. The research design compares the effect of incentives only to incentives along with the added involvement of peer mentors. The intervention is focused around a customized plan to address prevention goals and barriers to HIV prevention and care through referrals for culturally appropriate social and biomedical services. The customized plan will be provided to each participant in the form of a “passport” that is incentivized through provision of gift card dollars for accessing designated services. Intervention group participants are also each linked to a trained Peer Mentor who provides “peer” support that increases readiness to obtain services and reach risk-reduction goals. Opportunities for social support are further enhanced for intervention members by free access to group social-educational outings in supportive, culturally matched settings. After a one year formative phase, during which the study team will refine the intervention, collect information and test the hypotheses on a small scale, 180 men will be recruited and enrolled in years 2 and 3 of the study into a randomized trail comparing the peer-supported PtW intervention and the non-peer supported intervention. It is expected that both the control and intervention group participants will report improvements in service utilization and prevention behaviors. However, significantly greater improvements are expected in the peer-supported intervention group. By successfully engaging peers in addressing HIV risk and barriers that impede testing in HIV negative and unaware status BMSM, this study will contribute to the use of cost effective and impactful peer interventions.

A sermon of the Mexican War
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Coolidge and Wiley
Year: 1848

description: An anti-war and anti-slavery sermon that condemned President James A. Polk for the hasty annexation of Texas territory between the Nueces and Rio Grande rivers and criticized the large cost in money and men for the resulting 2-year Mexican War. The sermon also condemned the use of the newly annexed territory to extend slavery and calls for an end to slavery throughout the union. Acquisition of territory in the Southwest heightened the crisis over slavery in slave states and new frontiers eventually leading to the Civil War.
