Ned Beard
Ned Fulton Beard (1925 - 2004) was a graphic artist and cartoonist.  While working his way up to the position of Art Director for the Engineering Department at DuPont in Delaware, he drew cartoons and caricatures that featured in local newspapers.  From 1961 to 1984 he drew a comic strip for internal publication at DuPont.  The strip, which often featured his everyman character, "Y.I.Y. Skeever", a draftsman, proved popular and was eventually published in book form.  The strip reflected the changes in the workplace over the years, particularly the change from a male-dominated environment to one in which women made their mark and automation began taking over many parts of the work.

Beard was born in Texas, but spent most of his life in Pennsylvania and Delaware.  He was educated at the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art (now the University of the Arts (Philadelphia))

Originals and copies of Beard's work are now held at Ohio State University.

Glossary of rail transport terms
Rail transport terms are a form of technical terminology applied to railways. Although many terms are uniform across different nations and companies, they are by no means universal, with differences often originating from parallel development of rail transport systems in different parts of the world, and in the national origins of the engineers and managers who built the inaugural rail infrastructure. An example is the term railroad, used (but not exclusively) in North America, and railway, generally used in English-speaking countries outside North America and by the International Union of Railways. In English-speaking countries outside the United Kingdom, a mixture of US and UK terms may exist.

Various terms, both global and specific to individual countries, are listed here. The abbreviation "UIC" refers to terminology adopted by the International Union of Railways in its official publications and thesaurus.
Pseudopleuronectes obscurus
Pseudopleuronectes obscurus, or dark flounder is a flatfish of the family Pleuronectidae. It is a demersal fish that lives on salt bottoms in the temperate waters of the northwestern Pacific, from Hokkaido to the Kuril Islands, the Sea of Okhotsk, Sakhalin and the Tatar Strait to the northeastern coast of Korea and the Yellow Sea. It can grow up to 56 centimetres (22 in) in length, though it more commonly reaches around 35 centimetres (14 in), and its maximum recorded weight is 2.6 kilograms (5.7 lb).

Demersal zone
The demersal zone (from Latin demergere, "to sink") is the part of the sea or ocean (or deep lake) consisting of the part of the water column near to (and significantly affected by) the seabed and the benthos. The demersal zone is just above the benthic zone and forms a layer of the larger profundal zone.

Being just above the ocean floor, the demersal zone is variable in depth and can be part of the photic zone where light can penetrate, and photosynthetic organisms grow, or the aphotic zone, which begins between depths of roughly 200 and 1,000 m (700 and 3,300 ft) and extends to the ocean depths, where no light penetrates.

A member of the plebeian gens Octavia, Gnaeus Octavius was elected praetor by 79 BC at the latest.

Land registration
Land registration is any of various systems by which matters concerning ownership, possession, or other rights in land are formally recorded (usually with a government agency or department) to provide evidence of title, facilitate transactions, and prevent unlawful disposal. The information recorded and the protection provided by land registration varies widely by jurisdiction.

In common law countries, particularly in jurisdictions in the Commonwealth of Nations, when replacing the deeds registration system, title registrations are broadly classified into two basic types: the Torrens title system and the English system, a modified version of the Torrens system.

Cadastral systems and land registration are both types of land recording and complement each other.
