John Snow (15 March 1813 – 16 June 1858) was an English physician.
He used anaesthesia and medical hygiene.
He is a founder of modern epidemiology because he traced the source of a cholera outbreak in Soho, London, in 1854.
His findings caused changes in the water and sewage systems of London.
This led to similar changes in other cities, and a great improvement in general public health around the world.
In 1837 Snow began working at the Westminster Hospital.
Admitted as a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England on 2 May 1838, he graduated from the University of London in December 1844 and was admitted to the Royal College of Physicians in 1850.
Snow was one of the first to study dosages for the use of ether and chloroform as surgical anaesthetics.
This let patients to undergo surgery and obstetrics without distress and pain.
He personally administered chloroform to Queen Victoria when she gave birth to the last two of her nine children, Leopold in 1853 and Beatrice in 1857.
This lead to wider acceptance of obstetric anaesthesia.
Snow did not understand the mechanism by which the disease was transmitted.
His observation of the evidence led him to discount the theory of 'foul air'.
By talking to local residents, he found the source of the outbreak was the public water pump on Broad Street (now Broadwick Street).
Snow's chemical and microscope examination of a water sample from the Broad Street pump did not conclusively prove its danger.
However, his studies of the pattern of the disease were convincing enough.
The local council disabled the well pump by removing its handle.
This action is usually credited with ending the outbreak, but Snow saw that the epidemic may have already been in rapid decline:
Snow also showed that the Southwark and Vauxhall Waterworks Company was taking water from sewage-polluted sections of the Thames and delivering the water to homes, so causing the cholera.
Snow's study was a major event in the history of public health and geography.
It was the founding event of the science of epidemiology.
Snow died young after a stroke.
Health in Victorian London was vastly improved by engineering works for sewage treatment and water supply.
This included building huge pipes under ground which kept sewage and water supplies separate.
This system was so successful that it lasted until the later part of the 20th century.
Victorian London became one of the few large cities in the world to be free of epidemics carried by the water supply.
The British later built the water and sewage systems in many other countries, especially those in, or connected with, the British Empire (Cairo, Khartoum, New Delhi and so on).
The growth in population has made the water unsafe again in many places, but round about 1900 a clean water supply was available in many parts of the world.
All this was a consequence of Snow's work, and the engineering methods of Sir Joseph Bazalgette.

A Knut's party or Knut's dance (, literally: "Christmas tree pludering") is a tradition in Sweden on St. Knut's Day (13 January).
It means the end of the Christmas and holiday season.
The Christmas and holiday season has then spanned across Advent Sunday, Saint Lucy's Day, Christmas, New Year and Epiphany.
In private homes, especially children often have a party.
They dance around the Christmas tree and smash the gingerbread house into pieces.
The Christmas decorations are then put aside.
Such parties are even common at schools, Kindergartens, churches and other associations.
In many towns the public Christmas tree is taken out of usage for the bypassed Christmas by holding an outdoor Knut's dance.
The tradition originates from the Nordic region.
It has changed very little since the 1870s.
The final verse of the 1901 Christmas song "Raska fötter springa tripp, tripp, tripp" describes the Christmas tree being carried out ("julegranen bäres ut").
It means that a Knut's party may specially emphasize the final verse.
The song was written by Sigrid Sköldberg-Pettersson and Emmy Köhler.
Astrid Lindgren has depicted traditional Swedish Knut's parties in her books.
One example is "Pippi Longstocking's After-Christmas Party" from 1979.
The 1984 Gunilla Bergström book "Klaga lagom, Alfons Åberg" (later called Lycklige Alfons Åberg) depicts no traditional Knut's dance.
Instead the Christmas tree is thrown down from the flat balcony into the January snow.
It can be seen as a modern variation for children in urbanized 20th century Sweden.

Theoretical Welfare Economics: A Comment, M. W. Reder, 5 MAY 2007
A spire is a tapering conical or pyramidal structure on the top of a building, particularly a church tower.
Etymologically, the word comes from the Old English word spir, meaning a sprout, shoot, or stalk of grass.
Symbolically, spires have two effects.
One is to show strength and power.
A spire, with its spear point, gives the impression of strength.
The other is to reach up toward the skies as a religious gesture.
This is one reason for its association with religious buildings, and a similar reason has been given for the large pyramids in Egypt and early American civilisations.
However, the tallest spires today are secular places of business or hotels, such as The Shard.

A regnal year is a year of the reign of a monarch.
It is from the Latin regnum meaning kingdom or rule.
Some of the oldest dating systems were in regnal years.
A regnal year usually begins on the date of a monarch's accession to the throne.
Year one is counted from day one to the end of the first year of a monarch's reign.
Then a second year of rule, a third, and so on.
They would not have a zero year of rule.
It is displayed as an ordinal, not a cardinal number.
Date problems
Every year of a monarch's reign falls within two calendar years, unless the reign began on the first day of the calendar year.
When converting a regnal year in history to a calendar year, this can cause an error of one year.
In England, from the 10th century until the late 13th century, the practice was to count the regnal year from the date of coronation.
This was usually a later date than when a monarch was proclaimed king or queen.
The current practice of dating from the date of accession began in the late 13th century when the heir was out of the country.
Henry III of England died on 16 November 1272 which some sources date as the beginning of Edward I of England's rule.
His reign actually began when he was proclaimed king at the New Temple on 20 November 1272.
Here the date error between sources would be only four days.

The name kestrel is given to several different members of the falcon genus, Falco.
Kestrels hover about  over open country, and swoop down on prey, usually small mammals, lizards or large insects.
Other falcons are more adapted to active hunting on the wing.
In addition, kestrels have much brown in their plumage.
Kestrels can fly in stationary air, even indoors in barns.
While hovering they face towards any slight headwind.
This leads to the common kestrel being called a "windhover" in some areas.
Unusually for falcons, plumage often differs between male and female, although as usual with monogamous raptors the female is slightly larger than the male.
This allows a pair to eat slightly different prey on their home range.
Kestrels are bold, and have adapted well to humans.
They nest in buildings and hunt by main roads.
Kestrels do not build their own nests, but use nests built by other birds.
Most kestrels form a distinct clade among the falcons, as suggested by comparison of mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data  and morphology.
This clade diverged from other Falco around the Miocene to Pliocene about 7–3.5 million years ago (mya).
The most basal "true" kestrels are three species from Africa and its surroundings.
About 2.5–2 mya, the main lineage of true kestrels emerged.
This too seems to have evolved in Africa and subsequently spread across the Old World until they reached Australia some time during the Middle Pleistocene, less than one million years ago.
This group contains several taxa found on Indian Ocean islands.
A group of three mainly grey species from Africa and Madagascar are usually considered kestrels by their general shape and habits, but are probably distinct from the true kestrels discussed above.
There is only one kestrel in the Americas, with a wide range of habitats.
It is Falco sparverius.
The male is more brightly coloured than usual for kestrels, with a reddish back and tail.
Cytochromes are haemoproteins (or proteins containing haem groups).
They make ATP by electron transport.
The haem group does the redox reactions.
These include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed.
In general, redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons.
Cytochromes were described in 1884 as respiratory pigments.
They include (haemoglobin, myoglobin, haemocyanin, haemoerythrin and  chlorocruorin.
In the 1920s, Keilin rediscovered these respiratory pigments.
He called them the cytochromes, or “cellular pigments”, and classified them as haem proteins.
Several kinds of cytochrome exist and can be distinguished by spectroscopy.
Three types of cytochrome are distinguished by their prosthetic groups.

The Ramsey theory is named after the British mathematician and philosopher Frank Ramsey (19031930).
It is a branch of mathematics that studies the conditions under which order must appear.
is then cut into pieces.
How big must the original structure be, so that at least one of the pieces has a given interesting property?
This idea can be defined as partition regularity.
For example, consider a complete graph of order n; that is, there are n vertices and each vertex is connected to every other vertex by an edge.
A complete graph of order 3 is called a triangle.
How large must n be in order to ensure that there is either a blue triangle or a red triangle?
It turns out that the answer is 6.

Captivity narratives are stories of people captured by enemies who are not civilized.
Historians - people who study history - do not trust a lot of these stories.
A lot of them are not written from a neutral point of view.
Some historians that study Native American cultures are careful when they use these stories as sources.
Captivity narratives from North America were published through the 18th and 19th centuries.
They are a part of English literature, and more stories were written in India and East Asia later on.
Colonists in New England were often captured by Canadians and their Indian allies.
This was because New France and New England had competition at the time. (
This happened to the Canadians as well).
The number of captives taken from the fifteenth through the nineteenth centuries are unclear, however.
Some think that about 1,641 New Englanders were taken hostage during King Phillip's War (1675).
When the whites and Indians had conflicts in the mid-nineteenth century, hundreds of women and children were captured.
Many animals have one or more special escape reflexes.
These get the animal out of trouble quickly.
They use special nervous structures to do this.
Crayfish: the sensory hairs of the tail fan of crayfish are connected to a reflex arc.
Giant sensory and motor nerves are connected with electrical synapses.
This flicks the tail, and shoots the crayfish away from the stimulus.
The neurons bypass the main neural system that controls locomotion, so shortening the reaction time.
The lateral giant connection to motor giant fast flexor neurons was the first known example of an electrical synapse.
Squid: The squid giant axon is the very large (up to 1 mm in diameter; typically around 0.5 mm) axon that controls part of the water jet propulsion system in squid.
It was first described by L.W. Williams  in 1909, but this discovery was forgotten until English zoologist J.Z. Young demonstrated the axon’s function in the 1930s.
Squids use this system for making brief but very fast movements through the water.
Most fish have a special response system known as "C-start".
It is done by the Mauthner cells.
They are a pair of big neurons (one for each half of the body) in the rhombomere 4 of the hindbrain in fish and amphibians.
The cells are also notable for their unusual use of both chemical and electrical synapses.
Humans: We do have some escape reflexes (not just reflex arcs).
We have a head ducking reflex, and a fast hand withdrawal if we touch a painful object.
These reflexes are subconscious: the conscious brain only knows about them afterwards.
