The name is got from two Greek words: poly-, meaning 'many', and phagein, meaning 'to eat', so the suborder is called the “eaters of many things”.
Polyphaga has 144 families in 16 superfamilies, and shows an enormous variety of specialization and adaptation.
It has over 315,000 described species, about 90% of all beetle species so far discovered.
The infraorder Cucujiformia includes most phytophagous [plant-eating] beetles.
Adoption of a plant-eating lifestyle promoted speciation and diversity in beetles, with Cucujiformia, especially weevils, forming a major radiation.
Much of this adaptive radiation has taken place at the same time as the evolution of the flowering plants. "
99% of phytophagous beetles feed on flowering plants".p399

The Knights of Labor (K of L) was the largest and one of the most important American labor organizations of the 1880s.
One of its first leaders was Terence V. Powderly.
The Knights started as a secret society with many elaborate rituals.
By 1878 they became more of an open group.
They greatly expanded their membership in the 1880s.
The Knights of Labor began during the era of labor unions.
The Garment Cutters Association of Philadelphia failed and was dissolved on 9 December 1869.
Several members voted to form a new organization.
They were convinced their new union needed more secrecy.
As they drew up plans for the new organization each member was required to take an oath of secrecy.
The title for the presiding officer was "Master Worker" and other titles were similarly named.
On December 28th they adopted the name of Knights of Labor.
The membership fees were $1.
In 1878 they held their first general meeting.
The early Knights took up campaigning for an 8-hour workday.
Child labor exploitation was another of their causes.
About 20% of the Knights were women and black workers.
The members were mainly working class people.
Certain professions were banned from membership.
This included lawyers, bankers, and stockbrokers.
As a measure of how these occupations were viewed, saloon keepers and gamblers were also excluded.
Workers in the 1880s began going on strike to gain better working conditions.
Only about half belonged to unions.
There were an average of about 500 strikes a year between 1881 and 1885.
In 1886 this increased to over 1400 strikes.

By the early 1900s they were all but gone.

Adelobasileus is an extinct proto-mammal from the Upper Triassic, about 225 million years ago.
There is only a partial skull from strata in western Texas.
Skull features, like the housing of the cochlea, suggest that Adelobasileus is a transitional form in the evolution from cynodonts to end-Triassic mammals.
For this reason, it may be close to the common ancestor of modern mammals.
Their sleek body type suggests they moved very fast.

The National War Labor Board (NWLB) was an agency of the United States government created in early 1918 by President Woodrow Wilson which was made up of twelve members from business and labor.
The co-chairmen were former President William Howard Taft and attorney Frank Walsh.
Its purpose was to make sure labor strikes did not hurt the war effort.
The board ended after the war in May 1919.
The National War Labor Board was reestablished on January 12, 1942 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The chairman was William Hammatt Davis.
This board ended its duties.
National War Labor Board WW I
The United States entered World War I in April 1917.
Soon the government became concerned that labor strikes might stop the production of military equipment and supplies.
In response President Woodrow Wilson created the National War Labor Board.
The board recognized the worker's right to organize unions and bargain collectively.
Former President Taft and labor attorney Frank Walsh were the co-chairmen.
The board had little real power but depended on their ability to negotiate compromises between the two sides.
They succeeded in preventing a number of strikes.
After Germany was defeated the board was disbanded.
In 1919 several strikes broke out in the coal and steel industries.
The board supported an eight-hour day for workers and equal pay for equal work regardless of sex.
National War Labor Board WW II
The National War Labor Board was started up again by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, on January 12, 1942.
The board's job was to prevent wartime labor disputes.
Also to insure that higher wage settlements did not cause inflation.
The board was generally favorable to unions.
The board encouraged the use of fringe benefits instead of inflation-causing higher wages.
In 1942 the board began a maintenance of membership policy which attracted new members into labor unions.
Unions understood they had to minimize any activism among their members in order to gain favorable rulings from the NWLB.
Dispite the efforts of labor unions there were wartime strikes.
Most of these were unauthorized (by the unions) or wildcat strikes (non-union).
The CIO (Congress of Industrial Organizations), later part of the AFL-CIO, largely cooperated with the board.
When the number of strikes peaked in 1944 CIO members maintained their no-strike pledge.
By the time the war ended, membership in the CIO was nearly 5 million.
The NWLB provided arbitrators on an honorary basis, that is, without fees.
But they encouraged paid arbitrators and by war's end most who arbitrated disputes were paid a fee of from $25–$100 per day.
In 1945 the board was disbanded.
A wave of strikes broke out just the same as when the NWLB ended in 1918.

Cementation is what makes rocks solid.
It is the process where grains of sediment get stuck together.
It is a chemical process, and the cement is a precipitate which crystallises in the spaces between the matrix of grains.
Silica (SiO2) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) are the most common types of cement.
Ions carried in groundwater precipitate to form new crystalline material in sediment pores: this is how "sediment" becomes "rock".
The new pore-filling minerals form "bridges" between original sediment grains, thereby binding them together.
So sand becomes "sandstone", and gravel becomes "conglomerate".
Cementation occurs mainly below the water table.
Large volumes of pore water must pass through sediment pores for new mineral cements to crystallize and so millions of years are generally required to complete the cementation process.
Sedimentation does not always occur.
Many quarries used for sand and gravel have them as loose particles and stones, just as if they came from a present-day beach.
In England, most of these quarries are from beds laid down in the Jurassic, 150+ million years ago.
By chance, the conditions for cementation have never occurred there.
It contains many of the city's major tourist attractions, shops, businesses, government buildings, and entertainment venues (including the commercial :West End theatres).
Use of the term began in the early 19th century to describe fashionable areas to the west of Charing Cross.
For strategic planning, the area is one of two international centres in the London Plan.
