# Tobias Jesso Jr.

**Tobias MacDonald Jesso Jr.** (born July 11, 1985) is a Canadian musician from North Vancouver, British Columbia. His debut album *Goon* was released in 2015 on True Panther Sounds. He was included in *Rolling Stone* magazine's list of the 20 Biggest Breakouts of 2015*.* He won the first ever Grammy Award for Songwriter of the Year at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards for his work on releases by Harry Styles, Adele, FKA Twigs, Orville Peck, King Princess, Diplo and Omar Apollo.

## Career

After living and playing bass in Los Angeles for 4 years, Jesso moved back to his home in North Vancouver. He started playing the piano in his spare time while working for a moving company. It was during this period that he wrote his first piano-based song "Just a Dream." Eventually, he sent one of his demos in an email to former Girls bassist JR White. Jesso co-wrote the songs "When We Were Young" and "Lay Me Down" (featured on the Target version of *25*) with Adele, which is included in her 2015 album *25*.

### *Goon*

Jesso's first demo was released in August 2013 after a painful break-up and his mother's cancer diagnosis. JR White, along with Patrick Carney of The Black Keys, John Collins of The New Pornographers, and Ariel Rechtshaid, helped produce Jesso's debut album entitled *Goon*. Aaron Sperske plays drums on the album except Danielle Haim plays drums on the track "Without You." His song "How Could You Babe" garnered increased attention after being tweeted about by both Adele and Alana Haim. He collaborated with Sia and Adele on the song "Alive". Originally intended for Adele and Rihanna, the song was eventually recorded by Sia and appeared on her album *This Is Acting*. His first major tour started in 2015.

## Musical style

Jesso's music has been compared to singer-songwriters of the 1960s and 1970s from Randy Newman to Harry Nilsson and Emitt Rhodes. He cites Newman as one of his favourite artists. Even though he was a bassist and guitarist for years, his new music was written by him on the piano—an instrument he started playing at the age of 27.

## Awards

Jesso was nominated for Songwriter of the Year at the 2015 Juno Awards. On June 20, 2016, Jesso was the recipient of the SOCAN Breakout Award at the SOCAN Awards in Toronto. He won the Grammy for Songwriter of the Year non-classical in 2023.

## Personal life

Jesso married Australian musician Emma Louise in January 2019; they have since had a child.

abstract: Edward Clarence Wall, was an American grain commission merchant and Democratic Party politician from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

# Edward C. Wall

**Edward Clarence Wall** (August 11, 1843  April 25, 1915), was an American grain commission merchant and Democratic Party politician from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

## Background

Wall was born in Milwaukee on August 11, 1843. He attended the local schools when a boy, and later attended a school in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Returning to Wisconsin he finished his education at Racine College, and, in 1861, entered his father's general commission business as a retail clerk. In 1866 he was admitted to a partnership, and, upon the death of his father in 1867, succeeded to the management of the business. In 1877 the firm of Wall & Bigelow was formed, which, for years, did an extensive grain commission and freight forwarding business.

## Politics

Wall admitted in later years that his first vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln in 1864. In 1874, he was elected to represent the First Ward as an alderman on the Milwaukee Common Council. He was reelected at the expiration of his first term, and served until his resignation in the fall of 1876. In 1876, he made his first appearance in national politics, by becoming national chairman of the Young Men's Tilden and Hendricks club.

Wall was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly for the First Milwaukee County Assembly district (First Ward of the City of Milwaukee) as a Democrat in 1877 (incumbent James Greeley Flanders, also a Democrat, was not a candidate for re-election), winning 691 votes to 505 for Republican Carl Doerflinger and 30 for Greenbacker George B. Goodwin. He was appointed to the standing committees on state affairs (which he chaired), and on legislative expenditures.

He was re-elected the following year as a "Honest Money Democrat", with 735 votes to 714 for Republican William McLaren. He remained on the State Affairs committee (though not as chair), and was also on the joint committee on claims. He was not a candidate for re-election the next year, and was succeeded by Republican Charles C. Paine.

In 1878, he was chosen a member of the Democratic state central committee and made its treasurer, a position which he held until his resignation in 1885. In 1885, he was appointed United States collector of internal revenue for the Milwaukee district.

In January 1890, he was chosen chairman of the Democratic state central committee, to fill an unexpired term; he would be re-elected by each succeeding state convention until 1896, when he declined further re-election. His greatest work as chairman was done in the campaign of 1890, and during the session of the legislature following. His party was triumphant in the election of 1890, the year in which the leading question was that of the Bennett compulsory education law. In the wake of the Democratic victory, as chairman of the state central committee, he exercised a sort of supervision over legislative activities by the many new and inexperienced Democratic legislators, particularly in the Assembly.

### National stage

In January, 1892, he was appointed by the Democratic National Committee as one of its members, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of John L. Mitchell. When the national convention assembled later that year, he was elected a member of that committee by the Wisconsin delegation for the full term of four years. He was later appointed, by the chairman of the national committee, one of the committee of nine to manage the campaign. At the meeting of the national committee in January, 1896, Wall was appointed member of the committee of nine which was given full power to arrange all of the preliminaries for the convention held in Chicago in July, 1896. At that convention he was re-elected a member of the national committee for the full term of four years.

Wall was a political ally of Bourbon Democrat leaders like William Freeman Vilas, and profited by the alliance. He had an arrangement with the Northern Pacific Railroad which allowed him a fee for every acre of land he was able to recover from public domain lands granted to the railroad and later confiscated; he credited much of his success to his friendship with Vilas, and with United States Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith and U.S. Chief Land Commissioner Silas W. Lamoreaux.

In the United States presidential election of 1904, Wall was Wisconsin's favorite son candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination; a campaign pamphlet and at least two campaign ribbons for his candidacy are known. He received 27 of 1,000 votes on the first ballot at the national convention, coming in fifth.

## Personal life

Wall married Anna Louisa Hearding in 1878; they had one child, Alexander Wall, born in May 1879. Wall was a member of the Episcopal church.

Wall died on April 25, 1915.

# Edmund Cooper

**Edmund Cooper** (30 April 1926 – 11 March 1982) was an English poet and prolific writer of speculative fiction, romances, technical essays, several detective stories, and a children's book. These were published under his own name and several pen names.

## Biography

Born in Marple, near Stockport, Cheshire, Cooper left school at the age of 15. In 1942 he became engaged at 16 to a teacher four years older than he was, and married her four years later on 13 April 1946. He worked as a labourer, then a civil servant, and in 1944 he joined the Merchant Navy. After the war he trained as a teacher, and began to publish verse, then short stories, then novels. *Deadly Image*, the first novel to appear under his own name, was completed in 1957 and published in 1958 in the United States. (The novel was published in the UK later in 1958 in a variant form and under its better-known title *The Uncertain Midnight*.) *The Uncertain Midnight* was adapted without authorisation for Swiss television in 1969. His short story *The Brain Child* (1956) was adapted as the movie *The Invisible Boy* (1957), which featured the return of Robby the Robot from *Forbidden Planet*.

Cooper reviewed science fiction for the *Sunday Times* from 1967 until his death in 1982.

In 2009, Carol Lake published *Those Summers at Moon Farm* (United Writers, Cornwall: 978-1-85200-141-4), a roman à clef about the writer and family. The author's comments says 'Although inspired by real people, this story is fiction'. Dedicated in part to Joan and Edmund Cooper, Lake acknowledges one of Cooper's daughters, 'for sharing memories and anecdotes'.

## Work and criticism

Cooper was an atheist and an individualist. His science fiction often depicts unconventional male heroes facing unfamiliar and remote environments. His novel *The Uncertain Midnight* was noted for its treatment of the subject of androids, which was considered original at the time of writing. Also treated is the subject of the colonisation of planets, which is the basis of Cooper's *Expendables* series, published under the pen name Richard Avery (the name of the hero of *Transit*). The *Expendables* series features an unusual diversity, both in its cast of characters, and in the frank nature of their conversations and attitudes on racial and sexual topics.

Two of Cooper's books depict future Earths dominated by women after the genetic or physical need for men has been reduced. His attitude to women is said to have been controversial. Cooper was quoted as saying: "Let them have totally equal competition ... they'll see that they can't make it." The theme of both books is actually the need to retain both sexes. *Five to Twelve* ends with the phrase "if we do not make any more mistakes, we can create a balanced world of men and women". The more cynical *Who Needs Men?* ends by asking whether love of woman for man is worth death for that love.

# Edward Fisher Bodley

**Edward Fisher Bodley** (1815–1881) was an English businessman, owner of a Staffordshire pottery. It operated on several sites in what is now Stoke-on-Trent. He had been a Congregationalist minister, and retained religious interests.

## Early life

In early life, Bodley was an nonconformist minister. He trained at Highbury College, and ministered at Steeple Bumpstead, Essex, as successor to Ebenezer Temple. He moved south within Essex, to a congregation at Rochford, where he was in 1842. In 1843 he published *Three Sermons on Revivals of Religion*.

## Potter

Bodley spent time as a commercial traveller. In business on his own account, he was successful as a pottery owner.

The pottery company E. F. Bodley & Co. was set up in the early 1860s. A table service used on *CSS Alabama* was manufactured by it. It was established manufacturing earthenwares at the Scotia Pottery in Burslem in 1862. In 1863–7 its activities or trading are not easily distinguished from those of Bodley & Harrold; Bodley and William Harrold dissolved a partnership in 1865. The parting was not amicable.

The business continued to expand, and came to occupy three sites. The Hill Top Pottery in Burslem was a legacy of Samuel Alcock. It came via Alcock & Diggory to Bodley & Diggory in 1870, and to E. F. Bodley & Co. in 1871. Thomas Richard Diggory, partner for a short time with Bodley, was declared bankrupt in 1872.

Bodley was appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1872. He was mayor of Hanley in 1873, and presided over a meeting in 1874 to celebrate the foundation of the Town Mission Hall there. He retired from business in 1875, and his son Edwin James Drew Bodley took over the running of part of the Hill Pottery (from 1882 the Crown Works).

In 1876 Bodley laid a chapel foundation stone in Congleton. His residence is given as Shelton, Staffordshire, near Hanley, and Dane Bank House. He died in 1881.

## Legacy

A company continued to trade under the name E. F. Bodley & Son, of Longport, from c. 1881 until 1898, with mark "E. F. B. & Son". Separately, the Bodley & Son company from 1875, successor to Bodley & Diggory, traded from the Hill Pottery, Burslem.

## Family

Bodley was survived by his second wife Mary Ridgeway, daughter of Joseph Ridgway. John Edward Courtenay Bodley was their son. A further son was Edward Ridgway. The third son Alfred Joseph Ridgway married in 1883 Mary Eleanor Reade, daughter of Rev. John Chorley Reade.

# Tobias Young

**John Tobias Young** (died 1824) was a British painter.

## Life

Young was probably born in Mildenhall near Marlborough. He exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1816 and 1817, and painted the scenery for Lord Barrymore's private theatre at Wargrave. He practised for some time at Southampton, to which town and its neighbourhood his reputation was chiefly confined. In the Southampton Town Hall there is a *Judgment of Solomon* by him.

He lived at 1 Hanover Buildings, Southampton until his death on 1 December 1824.

The Southampton City Museums collection includes some topographical paintings by Young of the area around the city.

text:
# Tom King Bayou Bridge

**Tom King Bayou Bridge** is the locally used name for the East Bay Boulevard bridge crossing at Tom King Bayou. The bayou is crossed by East Bay Boulevard near the entrance of the bayou.

## Description

Opening in 1962, the bridge is 129.9 feet long and 33.5 feet wide, with a roadway width of exactly 24 feet. Though the bridge is locally known by the name, Tom King Bayou Bridge, the bridge does not have an official name by county records.

The bridge is owned and maintained by the Santa Rosa County Roads and Bridges Department.

While structurally sound, the bridge does not meet many of the modern requirements in terms of geometry and design for safety. However, no plan to replace the structure or deck are currently in place or being discussed.

## Pedestrian Expansion

The bridge was previously not pedestrian friendly, despite sidewalks and trailway expansions along East Bay Boulevard. However, in the late 2010s, several designs began to be been furthered to allow for pedestrian friendliness. In 2022, a pedestrian bridge was constructed to coincide with the construction of a walking trail along East Bay Boulevard that was funded by a statewide walking trails foundation.

text:
# Tom Holmoe

**Thomas Allen Holmoe** (born March 7, 1960) is an American college athletics administrator and former football player and coach. He has been the athletic director at Brigham Young University (BYU) since 2005. Holmoe played college football at BYU and then professionally in the National Football League (NFL) with the San Francisco 49ers from 1983 to 1989. He served as the head football coach at the University of California, Berkeley (Cal) from 1997 to 2001.

## Playing career

### College

Holmoe starred in both basketball and football at Crescenta Valley High School in La Crescenta, California. He accepted a football scholarship to BYU, where he played as a cornerback and safety from 1978 to 1982. As a sophomore in 1980, he led the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) with seven interceptions, and went on to earn all-WAC honors as a senior in 1982. The Cougars won the conference championship in each of his four seasons at BYU. At BYU, he was a teammate of Super Bowl winning quarterback Jim McMahon and Super Bowl winning coach Andy Reid.

### Professional

Holmoe was drafted in the fourth round of the 1983 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers. He played seven seasons for the 49ers, winning Super Bowls with the team in 1984, 1988 and 1989, before retiring due to a knee injury.

## Coaching career

After retiring from playing, Holmoe entered the coaching ranks, having been urged by LaVell Edwards to return to BYU as a graduate assistant. In 1992, Holmoe accepted an offer from Bill Walsh to join his staff at Stanford University as the defensive backs coach. Holmoe remained at Stanford for two seasons, helping the 1992 Stanford Cardinal football team become the Pacific-10 Conference champions with a 10–3 overall record, including a win over Penn State in the Blockbuster Bowl.

Holmoe then returned to the 49ers, serving as George Seifert's defensive backfield coach for two seasons, where he coached such players as Deion Sanders, Merton Hanks and Eric Davis. As defensive backfield coach, he won a fourth Super Bowl in 1994. In 1996, Holmoe joined the staff at Cal as defensive coordinator under Steve Mariucci.

Following Mariucci's departure to the NFL in 1997, Holmoe was named his successor. Holmoe, by his own admission, was an unsuccessful head coach. During his five-year tenure at Cal, he compiled a 16–39 record overall with a 9–31 mark in Pac-10 play. His final season, 2001, saw the Golden Bears finish 1–10, then the worst season in school history (the Bears went 1–11 in 2013). Holmoe went 0–5 against rival Stanford and failed to reach a bowl game. Holmoe resigned at the end of the 2001 season.

Shortly afterward, the Bears were found guilty of major NCAA violations when it emerged that a professor retroactively added two football players to a class he had taught the previous spring in order to keep them eligible. Athletic department officials knew that the players were ineligible, but did not disclose it to anyone. As a result, the NCAA slapped Cal with five years' probation, stripped the Bears of their four victories from the 1999 season, banned them from postseason play in 2002, and took away nine scholarships over four years. When Jeff Tedford led the Bears to a 7–5 record in 2002, they were not allowed to play in a bowl game.

## Athletic administration

After resigning from Cal, Holmoe returned to BYU to serve as associate athletic director. In March 2005, he was appointed as BYU's 12th athletic director, and the first to oversee both men's and women's athletics (previously women's sports had its own athletic director). Under Holmoe's leadership, the Cougars have achieved success, winning 14 conference championships in the 2006–07 academic year alone and many others in subsequent years.

Holmoe has had notable successes with his head coaching hires, including for football and men's basketball. He hired head football coach Bronco Mendenhall, who returned BYU's football team to national prominence, and head men's basketball coach Dave Rose, who led BYU's men's basketball team to consistent conference championships and NCAA tournament appearances. Following Bronco Mendenhall's departure to the University of Virginia and Dave Rose's retirement, Holmoe hired Kalani Sitake as head football coach and Mark Pope as men's head basketball coach, both of whom have led their teams to Top 25 national rankings in the end-of-season AP polls.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, BYU's independent football schedule was drastically altered at the last minute as several conferences decided to play league-only games. Holmoe had to quickly piece together a full season of games. He was able to fill BYU's schedule and the team finished the year 11-1 and ranked #11 in the end-of-season AP Poll. His efforts were recognized by The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) who awarded him with the 2020-2021 Athletics Director of the Year award.

On September 10, 2021, BYU accepted an invitation to join the Big 12 Conference for all sports. Holmoe was instrumental in positioning the Cougars for the invitation, having petitioned the Big 12 for membership in 2016 and again in 2021.

## Personal life

Holmoe is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, converting from Lutheranism six years after leaving BYU. He lives in Provo, Utah, with his wife Lori and their four children. Holmoe's brother, Steve, a physical education teacher and assistant football coach at Glendale High School, was a strong safety at UCLA before sustaining a career-ending injury.

# Tolman Sweet

The  **Tolman Sweet**  is a cultivar of apple with a butter yellow color, with faint russet dots and a "suture line" along one side of the fruit from top to bottom.

* Typical size: width 71–79 mm, height 59–67 mm, stalk 18–27 mm.
* Eye small, closed.
* Core heart-shaped, axile, closed.
* Flesh yellowish to white, breaking, firm, very sweet, rich, rather dry, moderately, juicy.
* Tree hardy, very productive, moderately vigorous.

## Usage and History

Being a small apple, it was used for boiling and pickling. A hearty tree, it was also used for a grafting stock. According to a source published in 1905, the Tolman Sweet was one of several varieties that "were being grafted into the farm orchards in the older settled parts of the state \[New York State\] a century or more ago".

Synonyms for the variety include: Brown's Golden Sweet, Tallman's Sweet, Tallman Sweet, Tollman Sweet, Tallman Sweeting, Tollman's Sweeting, Talman Sweet, Talman's Sweet, Talman Sweet, Talman's Sweeting, Tolman, Tolman Sweet, Tolman's Sweeting, Tolman Sweeting, Tolman's Sweeting.

From the 1905 publication: "Fruit medium or below, rather attractive for a yellow apple. It meets with little demand in the general market, but is sold to a limited extent in special markets and to special classes of trade. The fruit is generally much esteemed for certain culinary purposes as pickling, boiling and baking. Its keeping quality varies in different seasons. In ordinary storage it is in season from November to January with December as the commercial limit. In cold storage its commercial limit varies under different conditions from February to April. Some find that it stands heat well before going into storage; others report that it does not. It shows bruises very readily and requires careful handling. The fruit hangs fairly well to the tree, is quite uniform in grade and suffers comparatively little loss in drops and culls. The tree is a good grower, long-lived and very hardy. Throughout Northern New York, Northern New England, certain portions of Canada and the northern portion of the apple belt in the prairie region of the Middle West, Tolman Sweet has gained the reputation of being one of the hardiest of the old New England varieties. For this reason it is often selected as a stock upon which to top-graft less hardy kinds. The tree comes into bearing at a moderately early age, and, generally speaking, is a reliable cropper, yielding from moderate to heavy crops biennially or sometimes almost annually." The same source was unable to locate the origin of the variety, perhaps coming from Massachusetts. It was among the most popular sweet varieties in orchards in New York State at the time.

# Eduard Vogel von Falckenstein

**Eduard Ernst Friedrich Hannibal Vogel von Fal(c)kenstein** (5 January 1797 – 6 April 1885) was a Prussian *General der Infanterie*.

## Biography

Vogel von Falckenstein was born in Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland) in Silesia, the son of Hannibal Vogel von Falckenstein (1750–1808). On 9 April 1829, he married Luise Gärtner (21 January 1813–24 August 1892) in Treuenbrietzen. His oldest son, Maximilian, also became a Prussian general.

After a preliminary education, Falckenstein entered the Prussian Army as a volunteer Jäger in 1813 during the Sixth Coalition, distinguishing himself at Montmirail. Promoted to major in 1841, he was wounded during street fighting in Berlin during the revolutions of 1848. Falckenstein fought in Holstein during the First Schleswig War, becoming the commander of the Garde-Schützen-Bataillon. He was named Chief of Staff of the III. Armeekorps in 1850.

Falckenstein was promoted to Oberst in 1851 and major general in 1855. He served as Director of the Military Economics Department from 1856–58; in the latter year he was promoted to lieutenant general, and placed in command of the V. Armeekorps.

At the beginning of the Second Schleswig War, Falckenstein served as Friedrich Graf von Wrangel's chief of staff, but was replaced by Helmuth von Moltke after Edwin Freiherr von Manteuffel pressured the Prussian Minister of War, Albrecht von Roon. He was awarded the Pour le Mérite on 22 April 1864, and named Governor of Jutland on 30 April. He received chief command of the VII. Armeekorps after the war and was promoted to general in 1865.

The Austro-Prussian War broke out in 1866, and Falckenstein commanded Prussia's forces in western Germany. While the bulk of the Prussian Army invaded Saxony and Bohemia to fight the Austrian Empire, Falckenstein's troops were to deal with Austria's allies: north of the Main River were troops of Hanover and Hesse-Kassel, while south of the Main were forces of Bavaria, Baden, Württemberg, and Hesse-Darmstadt.

At his disposal, Falckenstein had three divisions of troops, many of whom were not front-line soldiers, consisting instead of Prussian Landwehr, garrison troops, or north German allies. Beginning on 15 June, the "Corps Manteuffel" division and the Goeben Division invaded Hanover, while Beyer Division at Wetzlar invaded Hesse-Kassel. While the cities of Hanover and Kassel fell to the Prussians, the armies of each state fled in an attempt to unite with the Bavarians, who were slowly advancing northward and reluctant to cross the Main.

Falckenstein's leadership was mediocre during the campaign. The Hanoverian and Hessian troops systematically destroyed the railways during their retreat, while Falckenstein delayed in pursuing them, preferring instead to let his troops rest in Hanover. He eventually directed his three divisions to Göttingen, even after learning that Austria's allies had abandoned the city. Moltke ordered Falckenstein to finish off the Hanoverian Army, but Falckenstein wanted to let a lack of supplies force Major General Friedrich von Arentschildt and King George V of Hanover to surrender. After losing contact with the Hanoverians on 22 June and upon the advice of Otto von Bismarck, Falckenstein began marching south to Frankfurt to prevent a union of the disorganized forces of the German Confederation.

Moltke and King William I of Prussia were furious with Bismarck's interference and Falckenstein's slowness, ordering the general to attack the Hanoverians vigorously. Arentschildt's army suffered greatly from their lack of supplies, however, and were cornered at Langensalza in Prussian Saxony by the advance of Falckenstein's three divisions from the north and, organized by Moltke, 9,000 troops under General Eduard von Flies from Gotha to the south.

Falckenstein began preparing to attack Arentschildt's Hanoverian army after receiving a royal directive from William I. Flies, however, despite being outnumbered two to one, advanced on his own initiative against Arenttschildt on 27 June. Flies' Prussians were defeated in the Battle of Langensalza, but the Hanoverians were unable to capitalize on their victory. Falckenstein's troops arrived the following day, and Arentschildt was forced to flee eastward into territory ringed by Prussian railways, leading to Hanover's surrender at Nordhausen on 29 June.

Falckenstein's forces fought a series of engagements against south German states and entered Frankfurt on 16 July. Because of differences with the Prussian General Staff, he was forced to relinquish command to von Manteuffel and instead was made governor of Bohemia.

In 1867, Falckenstein was chosen as a representative of Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia) to the Reichstag of the North German Confederation. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, Falckenstein was *Generalgouverneur der deutschen Küstenlande* (General Governor of the German Coastal Lands) and resided in Hanover. He organized the German coastal defenses and created a volunteer Seewehr as a naval militia.

Falckenstein retired in 1873. He died at Dolzig (now Dłużek, Poland), then in the Province of Brandenburg.

# Eddy Creek (Lackawanna River tributary)

**Eddy Creek** is a tributary of the Lackawanna River in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 5.7 miles (9.2 km) long and flows through Olyphant and Throop. The watershed of the creek has an area of 7.53 square miles (19.5 km2). The creek experiences serious flow loss and is considered to be impaired. It has a natural channel in some reaches, but its channel disappears in other reaches. Rock formations in the creek's vicinity include the Catskill Formation and the Llewellyn Formation. The creek is a second-order stream.

A bridge carrying Pennsylvania Route 347 across Eddy Creek was built in the 20th century. More recently, a restoration of 3.5 miles (5.6 km) of the creek has been planned. The creek is designated as a Warmwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. A greenway/connecting trail in the vicinity of the creek was proposed in the early 2000s in the Lackawanna River Watershed Conservation Plan.

## Course

Eddy Creek begins near Pennsylvania Route 247 in Olyphant, not far from the border of Jessup. It flows west for several tenths of a mile before turning southwest and then north. After a short distance, the creek for several tenths of a mile before turning southwest. A few tenths of a mile further downstream, it turns west-northwest and enters Throop. The creek crosses US Route 6 and turns west-southwest and then west. After some distance, it turns north for several tenths of a mile before turning northwest for some distance. The creek then turns west for a short distance before tuning north and then north-northeast, reentering Olyphant and receiving an unnamed tributary from the right. It then turns northwest and crosses Pennsylvania Route 347 before reaching its confluence with the Lackwanna River after a few tenths of a mile.

Eddy Creek joins the Lackawanna River 16.84 miles (27.10 km) upriver of its mouth.

### Tributaries

Eddy Creek has no named tributaries. However, a 1916 book stated that several small streams discharged into the creek in its upper reaches. At the time, these streams had clear water, but were dry in the summer.

## Hydrology

Eddy Creek experiences total flow loss. Some reaches of the creek have been entirely destroyed by historical mining or by post-mining development. The creek loses all of its flow at 1,100 to 1,200 feet (340 to 370 m) above sea level via infiltration into mines. However, a near-constant flow is restored further downstream by stormwater from the Keystone Sanitary Landfill. It also has extensive deposits of culm and silt left over from mining. The creek is considered to be impaired by flow alterations. The likely source of the impairment is abandoned mine drainage.

Eddy Creek used to have flow, but has turned into a "leaky slow trickle" that carries acid mine drainage. In 2014, Joseph D'Onofrio, a senior engineering technician for GTS Technologies, compared the creek to an "old perforated pipe". Eddy Creek is an ephemeral stream.

The electrical conductivity of Eddy Creek was once measured to be 203.50 micro-siemens per centimeter. The concentration of total dissolved solids was measured to be 140 milligrams per liter and the concentration of dissolved oxygen was 66.50 percent. The pH of the creek was 6.99, and the concentration of salinity was 100 parts per million.

In the early 1900s, Eddy Creek lacked culm deposits at its mouth. However, its water was colored yellow by sulfur at that location. Further upstream, two pipes discharged mine water into the creek. One of these pipes had reddish water. However, upstream of an ash dump on the creek, the water was clear.

## Geography, geology, and climate

The elevation near the mouth of Eddy Creek is 758 feet (231 m) above sea level. The elevation of the creek's source is between 1,720 and 1,740 feet (520 and 530 m) above sea level.

At one point, Eddy Creek flows through a restored channel at a reclaimed mining site. Further downstream, the creek flows through its natural channel and cuts across a number of rock ledges. However, by the time it crosses US Route 6, it has lost its flow. Nevertheless, its channel is still discernible and its gradient is shallower. The creek loses its channel completely at the intersection of an electric transmission corridor and the Eddy Creek Mine Tunnel. It eventually reappears, but disappears again in strip pits and sinks. From Birds Eye Mine to Underwood Road, the stream channel has been completely destroyed. The creek has an engineered channel in one reach where it passes through a residential area.

The streambed of Eddy Creek is dry in some reaches. Its banks are steep and contain riprap and concrete headwalls. A total of 20 percent of the land in the creek's vicinity is on impervious surfaces. The creek flows through one pipe. Its size is 84 inches (210 cm).

The headwaters of Eddy Creek are in springs and wetlands in the vicinity of Marshwood, near the edge of Moosic Mountain.

Sandstones and coals of the Llewellyn Formation are located in the watershed of Eddy Creek. Some drift is located near the creek and reddish shale and sandstone of the Catskill Formation can be seen in this area.

In early October 2013, the temperature in the vicinity of Eddy Creek was found to be 68 °F (20 °C). The water temperature of the creek was found to be 23.42 °C (74.16 °F) in a 2013 study.

## Watershed

The watershed of Eddy Creek has an area of 7.53 square miles (19.5 km2). The creek is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Olyphant.

A waterfall or morphologic site known as the Marshwood Slides is in the watershed of Eddy Creek. Wetlands in the watershed include the Dunmore Swamps and Marshwood. The Marshwood Reservoir is located in the upper reaches of both the Eddy Creek watershed and the Little Roaring Brook watershed. Eddy Creek flows through forested land in a reach downstream of US Route 6. Other land uses include industrial land and open space.

Neighborhoods in the vicinity of Eddy Creek include the Keystone Industrial Park, the Keystone Sanitary Landfill, and LaCapra Stone & Supply. It is estimated that there is one stormwater detention facility in the watershed. According to a 1992 report, development in an area near the creek would have little adverse impact on the creek.

In a visual assessment of six tributaries of the Lackawanna River in 2013, Eddy Creek received the lowest visual assessment score, 100 on a scale from 0 to 200. This was within the "marginal" range of 56 to 105. The creek received the lowest score in seven categories: instream cover, epifaunal substrate, embeddedness, velocity/depth regimes, sediment deposits, riffle frequency, and channel flow status.

Eddy Creek is a second-order, mid-sized stream.

## History

Eddy Creek was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1198695.

Historically, two breakers known as the Eddy Creek Shaft and the No. 2 Shaft were situated on the banks of Eddy Creek. In the late 1800s, a mine fire started in the No. 2 Shaft. As a last resort, water from Eddy Creek and the Lackawanna River were used in an attempt to extinguish it. Historically, there was a dam on the creek. The dam was owned by the Delaware and Hudson Company and was used for impounding water to flush ashes from a power plant. The creek also supplied water for a washery at the Underwood Colliery.

A concrete culvert bridge carrying Pennsylvania Route 347 was built over Eddy Creek in 2008. It is 24.0 feet (7.3 m) long and is situated in Olyphant. A number of historic sites are located in the watershed of Eddy Creek. These include the South Valley Arch, which is in Olyphant, and the DL&W Pancost Arch, the DL&W Winton Arch, and the Erie Arch, which are all in Throop. The Hudson Coal mine railroad, a narrow gauge railroad that operated until 1959, shared a culvert under South Valley Avenue with the creek. The borough of Throop once requested a permit to discharge stormwater into the creek.

As of the early 2000s, the Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation has been restoring the stream corridor and channel of Eddy Creek. In the early 2000s, it was expected that 3.5 miles (5.6 km) of the creek would be reclaimed by 2006. As of 2014, there were plans to restore 3.5 miles (5.6 km) of the creek, starting in Spring 2015 and ending in December 2015. The project would span 169 acres (68 ha) of territory and feature regrading 30 properties. Three wetlands and two bat habitats will be affected, but no historic or archaeological sites will be, and the flow of the Lackawanna River will not be impacted.

## Biology

The drainage basin of Eddy Creek is a Warmwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.

Some areas of the riparian buffer of Eddy Creek contain woody herbaceous plants. Strip mine overburden piles covered in forests also occur in the creek's riparian area.

Eddy Creek was described as a "low-quality aquatic resource" in a 1992 report.

## Recreation

In the early 2000s, the Lackawanna River Watershed Conservation Plan recommended the creation of a greenway/connecting trail along Eddy Creek. Such a trail could link the campus of the Mid Valley School District to the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail at the mouth of the creek.

**Tom Moody** (died March 19, 2022) was an American visual artist, critic and blogger based in New York City. He began his career as a painter, using traditional materials, but became sensitive to the chemicals. In the mid-1990s, upon moving to New York, he began working with MS Paintbrush during downtime at a day job and continued using this software throughout his life, despite more sophisticated programs such as Photoshop being widely available. Later works made use of animated GIF files.

## Life and career

Moody grew up in Texas, then double majored in fine arts (painting) and English Literature at the University of Virginia, and worked as an artist and critic in Dallas for local papers and Artforum before moving to New York.

In addition to obsolete software, his artworks combined traditional and digital material, media and techniques, combining art and craft. The New York Times reviewed his artworks, calling them "amusing, also, for the way they fuse high modern associations, like Cubism or Greenbergian all-overness, with kitsch associations of Op Art and cheap office technology."

He showed these new media artworks at the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the New Museum; Galapagos Art Space, Brooklyn; the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Connecticut; the University at Buffalo, New York; the Drawing Center, New York; Harbourfront Centre, Toronto Canada; Homeroom, Munich, Germany; among others. One of his artist books is in the collection of the MoMA.

His art criticism was published by Art Papers, Artforum, Sculpture Magazine and New Art Examiner.

In 2001, Moody began blogging about art, and as a venue to show his own art. His art blog received national and international interest from Art in America, Contemporary magazine and Rhizome. His blog covered art and culture, as well as serving as a forum for publishing his own digital works. Art in America said, of his blog, "the site of New York painter Tom Moody shares with viewers images of his own paintings, his studio process, his visual passions and assorted enthusiasms. He also devoted a lot of space to the work of other artists who shared his interest in the intersection of abstraction and digital art. Mesmerizing digital animations and occasional comments, always opinionated and thoughtful, on exhibitions and art-world developments."

Moody died from COVID-19 related causes in Goldthwaite, Texas, on March 19, 2022.

**Tom Mrsic-Flogel** is an experimental neuroscientist. He is Director of the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre and a Professor in Neuroscience at University College London (UCL). Mrsic-Flogel is a founding member of the International Brain Laboratory.

Mrsic-Flogel’s research focuses on establishing mechanistic accounts of brain function, including how brain areas communicate and contribute to perception, cognition and learning. His research has potential implications for psychiatric disorders such as autism and schizophrenia and future applications in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).

## Education and career

Mrsic-Flogel received his undergraduate degree and PhD in 2001 from Oxford University. He completed postdoctoral work with Tobias Bonhoeffer at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology (since 2023 named Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence) in Munich. In 2007, he became Lecturer and Wellcome Trust Fellow at UCL, after which he was appointed as Professor at the University of Basel.

Since 2016, Mrsic-Flogel has been Director of the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour, an independently-funded neuroscience institute (Gatsby Charitable Foundation and Wellcome) opened in 2014 and hosted by UCL.

## Research and work

Mrsic-Flogel is known for detailing the wiring principles of the brain’s networks and how these relate to their function. His work has used new approaches to measure individual synaptic connections between brain cells of known function, and molecular anatomy tools, to show the extent of influence of individual neurons on the rest of the brain.

Through his research in the visual cortex, Mrsic-Flogel discovered that synaptic connections are not organized randomly but are structured according to several specific wiring principles:

* Neurons preferentially connect if they are tuned to the same feature of visual stimuli and only if they project to the same target structure.
* Strong and reciprocal connections are found solely between neurons with the most correlated activity, while only weak connections link neurons that are uncorrelated.
* The more connections a neuron receives from its neighbours, the closer it tracks their activity.

Mrsic-Flogel has demonstrated how the wiring of neural circuits is adjusted through experience and learning. His work has shown how circuits are optimally tuned to the statistical regularities of the natural world and how learning can further refine neural circuits in the adult brain.

Mrsic-Flogel’s current lab studies how the brain makes decisions by combining sensory information with previously learned knowledge. Research from the Mrsic-Flogel lab has revealed how visual working memory in mice is maintained across interconnected brain regions.

Scientists in the Mrsic-Flogel lab have shed light on how the brain represents causally-controlled objects. More recently, the Mrsic-Flogel lab investigated how individual neurons in mice are influenced by two different cognitive and behavioural states – attention and running – that were once thought to share a common mechanism. They found that spatial attention and running influence neurons independently with different dynamics.

title: Tom Edwards-Moss

abstract: Tom Cottingham Edwards-Moss,, was a British amateur oarsman who rowed in the Boat Race four times and twice won the Diamond Challenge Sculls, and a Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1885 to 1892. Edwards-Moss was the second son of Sir Thomas Edwards-Moss, Baronet of Otterspool, Aigburth, near Liverpool and Amy Charlotte Edwards. His grandfather was John Moss, founder of what later became the North-Western Bank, and his father had assumed the surname Edwards-Moss on marriage. He was educated at Eton College and Brasenose College, Oxford, graduating in 1878. An outstanding oarsman, Edwards-Moss rowed for the Oxford crew in the University Boat Races for four years. He was in the winning crew of 1875 and the losing crew of 1876. The 1877 race was the only dead-heat in the Boat Race's history. He won the Diamond Challenge Sculls at the Henley Royal Regatta beating A. V Frere in 1877, but came second in the Wingfield Sculls later in the year to Frank Lumley Playford. He was president of OUBC and in the winning crew again in 1878. In the last two years he shared the Oxford boat with Lord Desborough. Also in 1878 at Henley, he beat Jefferson Lowndes in the Diamond Challenge cup and also won Silver Goblets partnering W Ellison. He was President of Vincent's Club in 1877. Edwards-Moss was a lieutenant in the Lancashire Hussars Yeoman Cavalry. In July 1885, he was appointed assistant private secretary to the Home Secretary, R A Cross. He was elected as Conservative Member of Parliament for Widnes at the general election in November of the same year, and retained his seat until 1892, when he retired due to ill health. Tom Edwards-Moss died at age 38 from influenza and typhoid fever.
