Rev. Joseph Shaw  (16 December 1784, Barton-in-Westmorland – 1 June 1859, Cambridge) was Master of  Christ's College, Cambridge. He tutored Charles Darwin at Cambridge in 1828.

Shaw was admitted as a Sizar at Christ's College, Cambridge in 1803, gaining a BA 1807, and an MA in 1810. He was a Fellow of the college between 1807 and 1849, when he was elected Master in succession to John Graham.  However, he resigned the office before his term of grace had expired, in the conscientious feeling that his age rendered him unsuited to responsibilities of the office.  James Cartmell was elected in succession.  He then became a Senior Fellow from then until his death.

Shaw also served as Praelector, Tutor and Senior Dean.  He died at Christ's College in 1859 and was buried in the ante-chapel there.

An interchange station or a transfer station is a train station for more than one railway route in a public transport system that allows passengers to change from one route to another, often without having to leave a station or pay an additional fare.

Transfer may occur within the same mode, or between rail modes, or to buses (for stations with bus termini attached). Such stations usually have more platforms than single route stations. These stations can exist in either commercial centers or on the city outskirts in residential areas. Cities typically plan for land use around interchange stations for development. Passengers may be required to pay extra fare for the interchange if they leave a paid area.
Thigh gap
A thigh gap is a space between the inner thighs of some women when standing upright with knees touching.

In the 21st century, some people in the West have begun to consider the thigh gap a special feature of physical attractiveness and physical fitness in women.

In the United States, it was reported that among teenage girls, a gap had become a beauty ideal. Many women have found it difficult to achieve a thigh gap,  leading some to resort to extreme dieting or surgery in order to try to obtain it. Critics of the phenomenon have held that the thigh gap is a physical feature natural only for women with a certain type of body shape and bone structure that most women do not have.  An AFP article cites several American psychologists and sociologists, one a soi-disant "body image expert", who opine that attempts to attain what they deem an unattainable ideal come at the cost of problems of self-esteem that can lead to eating disorders.

Standardization
Standardization (American English) or standardisation (British English) is the process of implementing and developing technical standards based on the consensus of different parties that include firms, users, interest groups, standards organizations and governments.

In social sciences, including economics, the idea of standardization is close to the solution for a coordination problem, a situation in which all parties can realize mutual gains, but only by making mutually consistent decisions. Divergent national standards impose costs on consumers and can be a form of non-tariff trade barrier.
