Maizie Barker-Welch
Dame Maizie Barker-Welch, DBE, (c. 1926 – 28 August 2024) was a Barbadian woman's rights activist and member of parliament.

She was born Mazie Irene Barker, into a family of clergy, the first child of the Rev. Frank H. Barker and his wife; her younger brother Rev. Frank A. Barker and nephew the Rev. Kirk Barker were also ministers.

She was elected in 1986 as a member of the House of Assembly, and also served in the Senate and Cabinet. She was elected in the DLP landslide of 1986, representing the constituency of St Joseph.

Barker-Welch was instrumental in the passage of the Domestic Violence (Protection Order) Act. She lost Re-election in 1991.

She was President of the (Barbados) National Organisation of Women, and a patron of the Barbados Sea Turtle Project.

Saint Joseph, Barbados
The parish of St. Joseph in Barbados is on the eastern side of the island.  The parish is home to two of the more notable botanic gardens in the country - Flower Forest and Andromeda Gardens.

One of the highest points in the island is Chimborazo in Saint Joseph.
Saint Joseph is also the home of the "Soup Bowl" where international surfing competitions are held.
Stellispongiida
Stellispongiida is an order of calcareous sponges, most or all of which are extinct. Stellispongiids are one of several unrelated sponge groups described as "inozoans", a name referring to sponges with a hypermineralized calcitic skeleton independent from their spicules. Stellispongiids have a solid skeleton (without chambers) encasing calcite spicules arranged in trabeculae (column-like structures). "Inozoans" and the similar "sphinctozoans" were historically grouped together in the polyphyletic order Pharetronida.

Stellispongiids survived from the Permian to the Cenozoic, at least up to the Miocene Epoch. They comprised the majority of "inozoan" diversity in the Cretaceous Period, though their distribution was mostly restricted to Europe. The Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (2004) places the living sponge family Lelapiidae within Stellispongiida, though Systema Porifera (2002) places Lelapiidae within the order Leucosolenida.

Sponge spicule
Spicules are structural elements found in most sponges. The meshing of many spicules serves as the sponge's skeleton and thus it provides structural support and potentially defense against predators.

Sponge spicules are made of calcium carbonate or silica. Large spicules visible to the naked eye are referred to as megascleres or macroscleres, while smaller, microscopic ones are termed microscleres. The composition, size, and shape of spicules are major characters in sponge systematics and taxonomy.

Automatic Computing Engine
The Automatic Computing Engine (ACE) was an early British electronic serial stored-program computer design by Alan Turing. Turing completed the ambitious design in late 1945.

The ACE was not built, but a smaller version, the Pilot ACE, was constructed at the National Physical Laboratory and became operational in 1950. A larger implementation of the ACE design was the MOSAIC computer, which became operational in 1955. ACE also led to the Bendix G-15 and other computers.

HERC5
E3 ISG15–protein ligase HERC5 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HERC5 gene.

This gene is a member of the HERC family of ubiquitin ligases and encodes a protein with a HECT domain and five RCC1 repeats. Pro-inflammatory cytokines upregulate expression of this gene in endothelial cells. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm and perinuclear region and functions as an interferon-induced E3 protein ligase that mediates ISGylation of protein targets. The gene lies in a cluster of HERC family genes on chromosome 4. HERC5 has been shown to exhibit antiviral activity towards HIV-1, influenza A virus and human papillomavirus.

Endothelium
The endothelium (pl.: endothelia) is a single layer of squamous endothelial cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. The endothelium forms an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.

Endothelial cells in direct contact with blood are called vascular endothelial cells whereas those in direct contact with lymph are known as lymphatic endothelial cells. Vascular endothelial cells line the entire circulatory system, from the heart to the smallest capillaries.

These cells have unique functions that include fluid filtration, such as in the glomerulus of the kidney, blood vessel tone, hemostasis, neutrophil recruitment, and hormone trafficking. Endothelium of the interior surfaces of the heart chambers is called endocardium. An impaired function can lead to serious health issues throughout the body.
