Peter Bird (IT manager)
Peter John Bird (1934–2017) was a British computer operator in the early days of commercial computing, and rose to be a director of Lyons Computer Services.

Bird was born in 1934 in north London, the second son of Eileen (née Darnell) and Jack Bird, a solicitors’ clerk. He served in the Merchant Navy, eventually becoming a first officer.

Bird worked for J. Lyons and Co. from 1964 to 1991, initially as an operator of the LEO III computer.

From the late 1980s, he developed an interest on the history of computing at Lyons, and thus in the history of the company in general. This led to him writing two books, one on each topic.

He also developed a secondary career, as a consultant on Lyons' history for television programmes, on some of which he appeared.

The LEO Computers Society's 2016 book 'LEO Remembered' is dedicated to him. In later years, he lived in Wokingham.

He died on 16 August 2017, aged 82.

Chief mate
A chief mate (C/M) or chief officer, usually also synonymous with the first mate or first officer, is a licensed mariner and head of the deck department of a merchant ship. The chief mate is customarily a watchstander and is in charge of the ship's cargo and deck crew. The actual title used will vary by ship's employment, by type of ship, by nationality, and by trade: for instance, chief mate is not usually used in the Commonwealth, although chief officer and first mate are; on passenger ships, the first officer may be a separate position from that of the chief officer that is junior to the latter.

The chief mate answers to the captain for the safety and security of the ship. Responsibilities include the crew's welfare and training in areas such as safety, firefighting, search and rescue.

The mate on a fishing vessel may be called the second hand.

FAD-dependent oxidoreductase domain-containing protein 1  (FOXRED1), also known as H17, or FP634 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FOXRED1 gene. FOXRED1 is an oxidoreductase and complex I-specific molecular chaperone involved in the assembly and stabilization of NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) also known as complex I, which is located in the mitochondrial inner membrane and is the largest of the five complexes of the electron transport chain. Mutations in FOXRED1 have been associated with Leigh syndrome and infantile-onset mitochondrial encephalopathy.

Lilingyan
Lilingyan (Chinese: 戾陵堰; pinyin: lìlíngyàn) was an ancient irrigation system built in 250 AD during the Three Kingdoms period to irrigate the Beijing Plain around Jicheng (modern-day Beijing).

The diversion channel fed water to the fields north, east and southeast of Jicheng and emptied into the Gaoliang River, which flowed back into the Yongding River.  The irrigation system was an important development in Beijing's early history and helped increase food production and population in and around the city.  Lilingyan was named after Liling, the tomb of Liu Dan, Prince of Yan, who was buried in Liangshan after his death in 80 BC.

The mesopelagic zone occupies about 60% of the planet's surface and about 20% of the ocean's volume, amounting to a large part of the total biosphere. It hosts a diverse biological community that includes bristlemouths, blobfish, bioluminescent jellyfish, giant squid, and a myriad of other unique organisms adapted to live in a low-light environment.
