Charles Lyell

Sir Charles Lyell, 1st Baronet, (14 November 1797 - 22 February 1875) was a British geologist. He was the foremost geologist of his day, and an influence on the young Charles Darwin. His work was rewarded with a knighthood, and later he was created a hereditary baronet.
The house of his birth is in the Scottish Lowlands. it is in the valley of the Highland Boundary Fault, one of the great features of Scottish geology. Round the house is farmland, but within a short distance to the north-west are the Grampian Mountains in the Scottish Highlands.
Charles would have seen this view from his house as a child. He was also fortunate that his family's second home was in a completely different area: at Bartley Lodge in the New Forest, England. Both these places lit his interest in the natural world.
Lyell was a rich man, and earned more money as an author. He came from a prosperous family, and worked briefly as a lawyer in the 1820s. He held was a Professor of Geology at King's College London in the 1830s. From 1830 onward his books gave him both income and fame.
Lyell's Principles of Geology was his most famous and most important book. It was first published in three volumes, in 1830-33. The book was about the ideas of James Hutton, but with many additions, improvements and examples. The book made Lyell to be known as an important geological theorist. It was a work of synthesis, backed by his own personal observations on his travels.
The central argument in Principles was that the present is the key to the past. This was called by William Whewell 'uniformitarianism'. Geological remains from the distant past are explained by processes we can see operating now. Lyell's interpretation of geologic change as the steady accumulation of minute changes over enormously long spans of time was a big influence on his young friend, Charles Darwin.

2020–22 North American drought

Drought developed in the Midwestern, Western and Northeastern United States during summer 2020. States especially hard hit by drought were Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico and Nevada.
In 2021, drought conditions improved in the Northeast. However, they got worse in the Western United States. As of June 2021, "nearly the entire region (97 percent) was facing abnormally dry conditions." Drought conditions also affected large areas of Mexico and Canada.
The drought conditions of 2020 were associated with a very strong La Nina pattern that had developed in the Pacific Ocean. Across several sections of North America, the dry problems extended to 2022.
United States
West
By Fall 2020, drought in the Western U.S. was the worst since a similar drought seven years earlier.
The 2020-21 drought was described by some as the worst drought in modern history in the Western U.S.
By late spring 2021, dry conditions had expanded to almost the entire state of California and to nearby Nevada.
Midwest
Iowa got widespread rain during September 2020. It improved the dry conditions in the eastern part of the state. However, the western part of the state had severe-to-extreme drought. The conditions lasted past 2020 and well into 2021. By late spring 2021, northeastern, northern and central Iowa were back under dry conditions.
The 2020-21 drought also affected Michigan, south-central Wisconsin, most of North Dakota and South Dakota.
In northeastern Illinois near the Chicago metropolitan area, May 2021 was the driest since 2012. As of June 1, 2021, Chicago had only gotten barely half an inch of rain due to dry conditions in the area.
Northeast
By late August/early September 2020, dry conditions across several parts of the United States had worsened. The New England states and New York were under severe or extreme drought.
The Northeastern United States were out of drought conditions by June 2021.
Southeast
By June 2021, moderate drought conditions had developed in Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida.
Mexico
As of April 2021, Mexico was under one of the most widespread droughts in its history. Almost 85% of the country had drought conditions.
Canada
As of spring 2021, extreme drought threatened the Canadian Prairies in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. These areas had gone through an abnormally dry fall and spring.

St Edmund Hall, Oxford

St. Edmund Hall is one of the colleges of the University of Oxford. It was founded as a hall for undergraduate students sometime prior to 1317. There is no record of the date it was founded, but it likely existed as a hall in the early 13th Century. Because the other Oxford colleges did not begin to admit undergraduates until the 16th Century, it claims to be the oldest academic society for undergraduates at any university. The Hall became a full college of the University in 1957.

TALENs

TALENs were a kind of genetic engineering tool. They are restriction enzymes because they can cut specific sequences of DNA. They have a binding domain (strip of bases) and a cleavage domain.
The letters stand for "transcription activator-like effector nucleases". The technique was called "genome editing with engineered nucleases". Together with zinc finger nucleases and CRISPR/Cas9, TALEN was for a while an important tool in genome editing.
TALENs have now been superseded by CRISPR techniques.

Luigi Tagliaferri

Luigi Eugenio Tagliaferri di Pagnona (Pagnona, November 14, 1841 - Mandello del Lario, September 30, 1927) was a Italian sculptor, painter, draftsman.
He stayed for a long time in Lierna, where he created many of his works.
Biography
Luigi Tagliaferri, known as Luigi di Pagnona, was born in Pagnona in Valsassina, but grew up in Mandello, descendant of a family of artists specialized in frescoes.
The first artist of the Tagliaferri dynasty was Giambattista Tagliaferri, author of a leather frontal for the church of Pagnona (1752), according to a then widespread taste. Luigi Tagliaferri is the son of Giovanni Maria Tagliaferri (1809-1879) who was for a long time in Venice as an engraver in the art of iron and then in Milan where, as an engraver, he invented a particular decoration technique on marble, of which some essays remain Margno and in Vendrogno. Giovanni Maria Tagliaferri in Milan also became a painter and created the paintings for the chapel of San Rocco in Premana, with a cycle on the plague (the frescoes in the parish church of San Dionigi have however been lost) and he painted the frescoes on the facades of churches such as San Martino of Indovero (1841), the church of Vimogno (1853) or the church of Barcone (1870). His works can be found both in the villages of the valley (Premana, Taceno, Casargo, Indovero and Pasturo) and beyond the lake and in Lecco. The painter was also a teacher in Pagnona and taught the art to his son Luigi Tagliaferri, who moved to Lecco and finally to Mandello.
Luigi Tagliaferri's works are numerous and he worked in Valsassina, in Lecco, in the villages of the lake and also beyond the lake and also in the Milan area. Luigi works with other artists of the family such as the brothers Achille and Basilio and his nephew Giovanni. The activity of the group continued until the 1940s, so that the Tagliaferris are to be considered among the most interesting sacred artists of Lake Como.
Among the best known works by Luigi Tagliaferri is the Via Crucis of Lierna on Lake Como.Tagliaferri frescoed many sacred buildings with paintings both on Lake Como and in Valtellina.Tagliaferri is buried in the family chapel of Mandello del Lario on Lake Como.
Style
In his paintings he affirms a profound theological knowledge, his decisive brushstrokes have classical and baroque reminiscences, but used with sobriety, taste, sense of balance and proportion.

Risk (Megadeth album)

Risk is the eighth album by American thrash metal band Megadeth. It was released on August 31, 1999 by Capitol Records. Risk was the last Megadeth album to be released by Capitol Records. It is also the last album to have guitarist Marty Friedman playing on it. The album had mixed (good and bad) responses from metal fans and critics, because many did not like how the music on it sounded like alternative rock instead of heavy metal. This reaction made the band make their next album sound more like metal.
The band's frontman, Dave Mustaine, has said that the reason that the album did not sell many copies was because Megadeth made it: "if anybody else's name was on 'Risk', it would have sold". The album's best position on the Billboard 200 chart was number 16.

Zai is a technique used in agriculture. Holes are dug in the soil to catch water. They have been used in the western Sahel area to make soil healthier and grow more plants.
Yacouba Sawadogo, a farmer from Burkina Faso, is bringing back zai holes. He came up with the idea of filling them with manure and compost as food for plants. The manure attracts termites, whose tunnels help further break up the soil. He also made the holes slightly bigger than the traditional ones. Zai holes help trees, sorghum, and millet make up to 500% more food or wood.

Pope Victor I

Pope Victor (189-198C.E.) I was the fourteenth Pope, the official title is Bishop of Rome of the Catholic Church.
Pope Victor was the first African pope. He attempted to resolve the ongoing controversy over the celebration of Easter through a great meeting of church members from Rome and Gaul (France) and areas of and around Mesopotamia (Iraq) that Easter should be celebrated on a Sunday instead of on Passover, whichever that day occurred on. The Asia Minor church however, stayed fast to the celebration on Passover. Pope Victor at first declared the congregation in Asia Minor excommunicated but under protest seems to have withdrawn and those members of the church were accepted back into the Church.
He secured the release of some Christians who were condemned to the mines of Sardinia as a result of his request with the emperor's mistress.
His feast day is celebrated on July 28.

1988 Winter Olympics

The 1988 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XV Olympic Winter Games, were held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and opened by Governor General Jeanne Sauve. The Olympics were highly successful financially as they brought in million-dollar profits. The games left a lasting impression on the host city and gave it a new identity from a cowtown to a large commercial sector of the country.
1988 was also the last year that the Paralympic Games and the Winter Olympics were held in separate cities. All Games after the 1988 Winter Olympics have been hosted by the same city or a city nearby.
The Canadian team did not win a gold medal during the 1988 Winter Olympics, similar to how the Canadian team did not win one during the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. At the time, Canada and Yugoslavia were the only countries that had not won a gold medal when their country hosted the Olympics. (However, Canada would later win a gold medal when the 2010 Winter Olympics were hosted in Vancouver.)

West Gate Bridge

The West Gate Bridge is a bridge across the Yarra River, near Melbourne, Victoria in Australia. It is the third longest bridge in Australia. The bridge's length, including the approaches is . Work began on the bridge on 22 April 1968. It was opened on 15 November 1978 at a cost of AU$202 million. It was the scene of Australia's worst industrial accident when part of the bridge collapsed in October 1970. The accident killed 35 men and injured 18 others.
Details
The bridge is a box girder and cable-stayed bridge. The bridge deck is above the water level to allow ships to pass underneath. The supporting pylons are high, and help support a span of . The bridge is wide. It carries eight lanes of traffic. About 160,000 vehicles travel over the bridge each day.
Collapse
Problems were first noticed on the West Gate Bridge in May 1970 when several steel girders did not fit into position by about . Engineers proposed putting ten concrete blocks, each weighing about 8 tons, onto the girders to bend them into the correct position. In September 1970 it was noticed that this had caused part of the girder to buckle. On 15 October, the engineers began removing the bolts holding the buckled girders in place. This would allow the steel to unbuckle and new steel could be put up to support the damaged section. At 11:50 am the damaged section collapsed. Workers both on and under the bridge were killed when the 2,000 ton section fell to the ground. In the end, 35 men were killed and 18 were injured.
