title: Homeotropic alignment

abstract: In liquid crystals, homeotropic alignment is one of the ways of alignment of liquid crystalline molecules. Homeotropic alignment is the state in which a rod-like liquid crystalline molecule aligns perpendicularly to the substrate. In the polydomain state, the parts also are called homeotropic domains. In contrast, the state in which the molecule aligns to a substance in parallel is called homogeneous alignment. There are various other ways of alignment in liquid crystals. Because homeotropic alignment is not anisotropic optically, a dark field is observed between crossed polarizers in polarizing optical microscopy. By conoscope observation, however, a cross image is observed in the homeotropic alignments. Homeotropic alignment often appears in the smectic A phase (SA). In discotic liquid crystals homeotropic alignment is defined as the state in which an axis of the column structure, which is formed by disc-like liquid crystalline molecules, aligns perpendicularly to a substance. In other words, this alignment looks like a state in which columns formed by piled-up coins are arranged in an orderly way on a table. In practice, the homeotropic alignment is usually achieved by surfactants and detergent for example lecithin, some esilanes or some special polyimide. Generally liquid crystals align homeotropically at an air or glass interface.

# Ripshin Farm

**Ripshin Farm**, also known as the **Sherwood Anderson Farm** is a historic farm property at the junction of Routes 603 and 732 near Troutdale, Virginia. It was developed as a summer home and later year-round home by writer Sherwood Anderson (1876–1941), and is where he wrote most of his later works. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971.

## Description and history

Ripshin Farm is located in a rural setting in Virginia's southwestern hills, east of the village of Troutdale. It is set on a rise overlooking the confluence of Ripshin and Lauren Creeks, and is accessed by a long drive on the east side of Route 603 north of its junction with Route 732. The property consists of 76 acres (31 ha), much of which is wooded, but with views cleared to the west. It includes the main house, two small guest cottages, and a log cabin in which Anderson did his writing. The main house is 1½ stories in height, with a central section of fieldstone flanked by log wings.

The property was a small farm when Sherwood Anderson purchased it in 1925. He at first lived in a log cabin on the site, while the house was under construction. It would serve as his home and principal writing location until his death in 1941. Anderson was one of the first writers of his time to create candid depictions of the sometimes gritty aspects of life, and for his frankly self-revealing works. He was acknowledged as a major influence on a generation of writers, including William Faulkner, Stephen Vincent Benét, and Eudora Welty. Anderson's only bestseller in his career, *Dark Laughter*, was completed here in 1925.

title: Homeowner's Defense Act

abstract: The Homeowners’ Defense Act (H.R. 2555) is a bill proposed in the House and Senate in the 111th United States Congress. The bill was proposed by Democratic Representative, Ron Klein of Florida. The purpose of the law, according to its sponsors, is to ensure availability of homeowners’ insurance for catastrophic events. The legislation would create a National Catastrophe Risk Consortium to monitor and regulate state insurance entities. The Consortium would also be able to issue securities and loans from the U.S. Treasury to provide capital to state-run insurers for catastrophe related risks. Previous forms of the bill were introduced in the House and Senate, including H.R. 3355 (2007), but were never passed in both the House and Senate.

# Homeowner's Defense Act

The Homeowners’ Defense Act (H.R. 2555) is a bill proposed in the House and Senate in the 111th United States Congress. The bill was proposed by Democratic Representative, Ron Klein of Florida.

The legislation would create a National Catastrophe Risk Consortium to monitor and regulate state insurance entities. The Consortium would also be able to issue securities and loans from the U.S. Treasury to provide capital to state-run insurers for catastrophe related risks. Previous forms of the bill were introduced in the House and Senate, including H.R. 3355 (2007) (which passed in the House in 2007), but were never passed in both the House and Senate.

## Support

Members of both parties, the great majority of them from hurricane-prone areas, support the Homeowners' Defense Act. Supporters say that the bill would reduce insurance costs for consumers by helping create a national fund to help pool the risk associated with catastrophes. Many supporters, including Representative Ron Klein (D-FL), cite rising insurance costs and private insurance companies leaving the area as a sign that the private market for property insurance is not working, and thus the federal intervention and regulation is necessary. Private insurers, like State Farm, have also joined in support of the legislation saying that the private market alone has insufficient capacity to handle large catastrophic disaster coverage for homeowners. Supporters formed the coalition, ProtectingAmerica.

## Opposition

Opposition to the Homeowners’ Defense Act has come from very different sides including the national coalition, SmarterSafer, made up of environmental, free market, good government, and tax payer groups. Many environmental groups like the National Wildlife Federation were opposed to the bill because they believed it would encourage home construction in environmentally sensitive areas. Free-market and tax payer advocacy groups like the Heartland Institute were also in opposition to the legislation on grounds that it'd crowd-out the private insurance market and encourage building homes in risky, hurricane-prone areas.

abstract: Greenwich Village High School (GVHS) is a planned grade 9-12 independent high school in Manhattan, New York City. The school is located at 30 Vandam Street between 6th Avenue and Varick. GVHS was scheduled to open in September 2009. On the Greenwich Village High School website, it says that the school, "will be the first independent, co-ed, nondenominational school exclusively for students in grades nine through twelve in New York City". It is the intention of the board to create a private, nonreligious high school. Utilizing the resources of the larger NYC community, an interdisciplinary and relevant curriculum will combine ethical and intellectual training, and give equal weight to the sciences, the humanities, and the arts. GVHS will be an intentionally diverse community, reflecting the many racial, ethnic, and social groups which make up New York City. The school was planned to open with a ninth grade class of 45-60 students, then build to 90 students per grade level over the following three years for a total of 360 students. As of July 1, 2008, David Liebmann, an experienced independent school administrator and teacher, was appointed head of school. Prior to GVHS, he worked at Shady Side Academy (PA), The Westminster Schools (GA), and The Chewonki Maine Coast Semester (ME). David Clarke was named academic dean. He served on the faculty at Parker School (HI), Menlo School (CA), and Buckingham Browne & Nichols School (MA) where he was academic dean and college counselor. Tia Biasi served as director of development, having previously worked at Grace Church School (NY). Camilla Campbell was admissions associate and Woody Loverude was admissions assistant. A founding board of trustees composed of Greenwich Village residents, parents, philanthropists, and other supporters governs the school and provides guidance and support. As of 2009, the planned opening was put on indefinite hold, as expected private funding failed to materialize.

Holy Trinity's ministry started in 1886, when much of Florida was still very much pioneer country. Throughout the 1880s, many groups of settlers from the British Isles came to Central Florida to seek their fortunes.

One such group of about 80 Englishmen put together by Grenville Chetwynd Stapylton, head of Stapylton & Company, settled on 160 acres (0.65 km2) of land around what is now Zephyr Lake in Fruitland Park. The land had been purchased from Henderson Tanner, a freed slave, for $250. The settlers built a large boarding house on the lake called Zephyr Hall, as well as a large stable. They reportedly enjoyed a carefree bachelor lifestyle, complete with dances, parties, horse-racing and hunting. Rumor even had it that some of the younger men were becoming too carefree and in need of a sobering influence.

As noted in Holy Trinity's original Vestry minute book: "The want of an Episcopal Church and clergyman in the English Colony ... had been for some time felt, and a movement had been made to obtain subscriptions to erect a church in the colony." Their efforts to raise funds for a church were successful and Holy Trinity Church was constructed in 1888 for $2150.

The construction style, known as "Florida" or "carpenter" gothic, was a modification of an English style adapted to the materials and conditions of the time and area. Sturdy and well constructed, the church remains in service to this day.

In 1889, a Lych-Gate was added to provide a resting place for the bier and pall-bearers before the clergyman accompanied the funeral procession to the burial site. Similar to those found in Anglican and European churchyards, it is one of only two in Florida.

During the next 116 years, Holy Trinity would experience many ups and downs, just as the State of Florida and its citizens did. But through the hard economic times, especially those brought on by the citrus freezes, Holy Trinity's doors remained open.

In August 1952, the Church Vestry and Guild voted to take whatever steps "were necessary for this mission to become a parish" That goal was realized nearly 13 years later when Holy Trinity Church was received into full parish status during the May 1965 Diocesan Convention.

In recognition of its architectural and historical significance and to help encourage its preservation, the Church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 30, 1975.

Holy Trinity took a major step in January 2005 in reshaping its future when it established All Saints Chapel, a second worship site along the rapidly growing Highway 27 corridor between Leesburg and Clermont. The new chapel has been growing steadily since its first service, Easter Sunday 2005.

# NZR UA class

The **NZR UA class** were a class of 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler locomotive built by the Scottish firm of Sharp Stewart and Company to ease a motive power shortage. They lived relatively short lives amongst NZR ten wheelers, mostly at the southern end of the country where they were seldom photographed.

## Origin and design

As New Zealand rapidly recovered from the 1880s depression, NZR developed a motive power shortage that its own workshops could not keep up with. After his 1898 annual report indicated it was "absolutely necessary" to obtain more locomotives the Locomotive Superintendent obtained permission to buy sixteen 4-6-0 locomotives, ten from Baldwin, and six from Sharp Stewart and Co. All were delivered in 1899.

Unlike the Addington U class the new locomotives were of uniform appearance, with low mounted running boards and splashers over the drivers. The design was based on and very similar to the U class, differing primarily in the provision of smaller driving wheels delivering higher tractive effort. Although they used the same type of boiler they carried a higher pressure and were fitted with piston valves. Overall their appearance was similar to their predecessors.

## Service

Initially three each were stationed at Invercargill and Dunedin to run express passenger services between those cities. Later the Dunedin-based engines joined their siblings in the south. The only known report from footplate men indicated that while finely built they were difficult to fire. However annual returns indicate that they ran greater annual miles and at lower cost than other 4-6-0's at the time.

Modifications included lengthening the smokebox, a common procedure on many early NZR types, and sand domes were provided, while the running boards were raised. In the 1920s either two or three (sources vary) received superheated boilers of 200 lb sq in working pressure. However, the class was gone before the end of the 1930s, the superheated boilers going to members of the UC class of the same maker. One was reportedly dumped on the Oamaru foreshore.

abstract: Hepatitis B virus PRE 1151–1410 is a part of 500 base pair long HBV PRE, that has been proposed to be the hepatitis B virus (HBV) RNA export element. However, the function is controversial and new regulatory elements have been predicted within PRE. PRE 1151–1410 enhances nuclear export of intronless transcripts and represses the splicing mechanism to a comparable degree to that of the full-length PRE. Hence it was proposed to be the core HBV PRE element. PRE1151–1410 contains 3 known regulatory elements: PRE SL-alpha, human La protein binding site, SRE-1.

title: Ripsaw

abstract: A ripsaw is a wood saw that is specially designed for making a rip cut, a cut made parallel to the direction of the wood grain.

text:
# Ripsaw

A **ripsaw** (or **rip saw**) is a wood saw that is specially designed for making a rip cut, a cut made parallel to the direction of the wood grain.

## Design

The cutting edge of each tooth has a flat front edge and it is angled backward by about 8°, in contrast to a crosscut saw, which has teeth angled backward by about 15°.

With the "rip" tooth pattern, the edges are sharpened at right angles to the cutting plane, forming chisel-like cutting surfaces, whereas crosscut teeth are sharpened at an angle, so that each tooth has a knife-like cutting point in contact with the wood. This design keeps the saw from following grain lines, which could curve the path of the saw: by acting like a chisel, the saw can more easily cut across deviating grain lines, which is necessary if a straight cut is to be achieved. This feature enables the orthogonal cutting edge to efficiently transport wood-chips from the kerf, allowing subsequent teeth to perform a more effective cut.

It is possible to see this material removal mechanism in action by analyzing frame by frame footage of the cutting process. Ripsaws typically have 4–10 teeth per inch, making them relatively coarse.

## Use

All sawmills use ripsaws of various types including the circular saw and band saw. Historically sawmills used one or more reciprocating saws more specifically known as an "up-and-down" or "upright saw" which are of two basic types, the frame saw or a muley (mulay) saw which is similar to the hand powered pit saw. Some sawmills also use crosscut saws to cut boards and planks to length.

## Cutting styles

On the vast majority of saws throughout the world, the teeth are designed to cut when the saw is being pushed through the wood (on the push stroke or down stroke). However, some saws (such as Japanese saws and the saws used by Ancient Egyptians) are designed to cut on the pull stroke.

It may be connected to be connected with the pre-7th century Old English name "Wade", and the verb "wadan" (wada) meaning "to go", or as a habitational name from the Old English word "(ge)waed" meaning "ford".

## Origins and variants

Wadington, Waddington, Wodington, Wadiham, Wadyngton, and Waddingham, this is an English locational surname, derived from the Olde English name Wadingtun or Wadingatun. It originates from any or all of the villages called Waddington in Lincolnshire and the West Riding of Yorkshire, and Waddiham in Lincoln. Waditun (Waddington) an ancient hamlet at Craven in Yorkshire (quoted in Domesday Book A.D. 1086 as Widitun). When Surnames were first adopted, some 1,000 years ago, it was in or near this Hamlet or Village that the ancestors of all those who now bear its name (Waddington) resided and are of the Divine Stock of Woden." The surname Waddington was first found in Yorkshire where they were Lords of the manor of Waddington, a village and parish near Clitheroe. "It is natural to find the name crossing the border into Lancashire. This surname has ramified very strongly in the Northern counties." Indeed another source claims the family did in fact originate in Lancashire: "The Waddingtons, who are also established in Lancashire, have their principal home in the West Riding, where occur a village and a seat of the name." The Canterbury Journal states : "The Waddingtons are, we have heard, of Saxon origin, being like the "Guelphs" lineal descendants from the renowned "Woden" (70 B.c.) as also from the Ferrands of Gas-cony, a house which in the 12th century gave Kings to Portugal."

## Wada Dux

The Ancient clan chief Odin (b. circa 210 AD), Woutan or Woden, was treated like a God by the Northern Races. The Historical Odin was chief of the AEsir Tribe, who were based in Sweden. His sons became the Kings of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany. Descendant of Odin (Wodin/Waegdaeg/Wihtlaeg/Witta/Wihtgils/Hengest/Hartwake/Hattwigate/Hulderic/Bodic/Bertold/Sighard/Dieteric/Wernicke) was Wada Dux; an Anglo Saxon Chief of Lancashire and Yorkshire, and founder of the Township of Waddington and from whom the name of Waddington is derived. The name signified the town (ton) of the children (ing) of Wada. Wada's Father was said to be King Wernicke (sometimes written as Warnechin, Warnikind, Vellikinus), 10th King of Saxony. His Brother is said to be the famous clan leader Wudikind, who fought Charlemagne. Eardwulf of Northumbria fought a battle at Billington Moor against a nobleman named Wada in 798 AD, who had been one of those who killed King Æthelred I of Northumbria.The Waddington name may be traced in such places as "Wad-how, Wadsworth, Paddington, and strange as it may seem, in Padiham, the abode of Wada, since Pada and Wada were only variations of the same word. Their possessions extended over a large part of Yorkshire and Lancashire",

In 798 A.D. Wada Dux and his wife Bell had issue son called Wade (Wada). The principal seat of the Waddingtons was at Waddington, near Clitheroe. Chief of the region circa 1187 AD was Walter Wadingaton and his wife Goda. Their son, also named Walter, had several children including Alice; who would go on to marry Sir Roger Tempest of Bracewell. Lands belonging to, or leased from land owners or the King by the Waddington family included Slaidburn, Bolton-by-Boland, Downham, Rimmington, Barshall Eaves, Chaigley, Edisford, Read, Padham, Altham, Clayton-le-Moors, Rishton, Accrington, Haslingden and Hoddlesden.

title: Rips machine

abstract: In geometric group theory, the Rips machine is a method of studying the action of groups on R-trees. It was introduced in unpublished work of Eliyahu Rips in about 1991. An R-tree is a uniquely arcwise-connected metric space in which every arc is isometric to some real interval. Rips proved the conjecture of Morgan and Shalen that any finitely generated group acting freely on an R-tree is a free product of free abelian and surface groups.

# Rips machine

In geometric group theory, the **Rips machine** is a method of studying the action of groups on **R**-trees. It was introduced in unpublished work of Eliyahu Rips in about 1991.

An **R**-tree is a uniquely arcwise-connected metric space in which every arc is isometric to some real interval. Rips proved the conjecture of Morgan and Shalen that any finitely generated group acting freely on an **R**-tree is a free product of free abelian and surface groups.

## Actions of surface groups on R-trees

By Bass–Serre theory, a group acting freely on a simplicial tree is free. This is no longer true for **R**-trees, as Morgan and Shalen showed that the fundamental groups of surfaces of Euler characteristic less than 1 also act freely on a **R**-trees. They proved that the fundamental group of a connected closed surface S acts freely on an R-tree if and only if S is not one of the 3 nonorientable surfaces of Euler characteristic ≥1.

## Applications

The Rips machine assigns to a stable isometric action of a finitely generated group *G* a certain "normal form" approximation of that action by a stable action of *G* on a simplicial tree and hence a splitting of *G* in the sense of Bass–Serre theory. Group actions on real trees arise naturally in several contexts in geometric topology: for example as boundary points of the Teichmüller space (every point in the Thurston boundary of the Teichmüller space is represented by a measured geodesic lamination on the surface; this lamination lifts to the universal cover of the surface and a naturally dual object to that lift is an $\mathbb {R} $-tree endowed with an isometric action of the fundamental group of the surface), as Gromov-Hausdorff limits of, appropriately rescaled, Kleinian group actions, and so on. The use of $\mathbb {R} $-trees machinery provides substantial shortcuts in modern proofs of Thurston's hyperbolization theorem for Haken 3-manifolds. Similarly, $\mathbb {R} $-trees play a key role in the study of Culler-Vogtmann's Outer space as well as in other areas of geometric group theory; for example, asymptotic cones of groups often have a tree-like structure and give rise to group actions on real trees. The use of $\mathbb {R} $-trees, together with Bass–Serre theory, is a key tool in the work of Sela on solving the isomorphism problem for (torsion-free) word-hyperbolic groups, Sela's version of the JSJ-decomposition theory and the work of Sela on the Tarski Conjecture for free groups and the theory of limit groups.

The Senate legislation was passed by the 87th United States Congress and enacted into law by the 35th President of the United States John F. Kennedy on June 29, 1961.

# Travel Act

The **Travel Act** or **International Travel Act of 1961**, 18 U.S.C. § 1952, is a Federal criminal statute which forbids the use of the U.S. mail, or interstate or foreign travel, for the purpose of engaging in certain specified criminal acts.

The Senate legislation was passed by the 87th United States Congress and enacted into law by the 35th President of the United States John F. Kennedy on June 29, 1961. The International Travel and Tourism Act has been amended seven times since 1961.

## Provisions and scope

### Elements of the crime

Subsection (a) of the statute sets forth the elements of an offense under the Travel Act. The acts prohibited are interstate or foreign travel, or use of the mails or "any facility in interstate or foreign commerce", for the purpose of distributing the proceeds of an unlawful activity, committing a crime of violence in furtherance of an unlawful activity, or to "promote, manage, establish, carry on" an unlawful activity. The offense is completed when a person engages in travel or use of the mails with the *intent* of committing any of the aforementioned acts, and then goes on to commit or attempt to commit one of the prohibited acts. This has the effect of making the *act of traveling (or using the mail) in furtherance of certain types of crime* a separate indictable offense from the underlying crime(s) the person is committing.

### Definition of "unlawful activity"

Subsection (b) of the statute defines "unlawful activity" for the purposes of the Travel Act. The activities specified in this subsection include illegal gambling, liquor on which the Federal excise tax has not been paid, controlled substance offenses, prostitution offenses, extortion, bribery, or arson which violate either Federal law or the laws of the state in which they are committed. The inclusion of state-level crime in the Act is important because it effectively federalizes certain state laws which may not have analogous provisions at the Federal level. For example, some states have laws prohibiting commercial bribery (bribery which does not involve government officials), but there is no Federal statute which directly addresses this issue. However, travel or use of the mails in furtherance of violations of state commercial bribery laws can be prosecuted by the United States Department of Justice in Federal court.

The definition of "unlawful activities" also includes certain specific violations of federal law, including money laundering offenses under the Money Laundering Control Act and violations of certain financial reporting requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by the USA PATRIOT ACT.

## Use and interpretation of the act

The U.S. Department of Justice has used the Travel Act as a complementary statute in the prosecution of some corruption cases under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and the Federal courts have interpreted the Travel Act rather broadly. For example, in the case against businessman Frederic Bourke, Judge Shira Scheindlin instructed the jury that a "facility in interstate or foreign commerce" could include anything that crosses state or national borders, including telecommunications, and that conviction under the Travel Act requires proof that the defendant used a facility of commerce "for the purpose of facilitating the unlawful activity" but that the underlying offense (in Bourke's case, bribery of a foreign official) need not have been actually completed.

Likewise, courts have applied the Travel Act to commercial bribery overseas in cases where state law prohibited such activities. One example of this was the case against Control Components, Inc. (CCI), a California corporation, which stood accused of violating both the FCPA and the Travel Act by bribing government officials and employees of private companies. California Penal Code Section 641.3 prohibits commercial bribery. When the company's lawyers challenged the extraterritorial application of the Travel Act, U.S. District Judge James V. Selna held that all elements of the Travel Act violation had been completed within California and that the offense "was complete the moment Defendants used a channel of foreign commerce allegedly to offer a 'corrupt payment' to an employee and thereafter effectuated a payment to that employee."

At least one commentator has noted that Travel Act violations could be used as predicate acts under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, since it is mentioned in the definition of "racketeering activity" in 18 U.S.C. § 1961.

# Jason Dent

**Jason William Dent** (born June 12, 1980) is a retired American mixed martial artist. A professional from 2003 until 2012, he fought in the UFC, King of the Cage, and was a competitor on SpikeTV's *The Ultimate Fighter: United States vs. United Kingdom*.

## Background

Dent's training in martial arts began at age 13 with karate. Just before earning his black belt he moved onto Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

## Mixed martial arts career

### Early career

Dent made his professional MMA debut at Extreme Combat Challenge's Assault event on May 31, 2003, where he defeated Tim Newland with a triangle choke. He won his first professional championship a few months later at Next Level Fighting's first event on September 13, 2003. Once again, using a triangle choke, Dent defeated Nick Spencer for the NLF Lightweight Championship.

### Ultimate Fighting Championship

He fought in a number of other local events and was eventually offered a chance to fight in a UFC match. In his UFC debut at UFC 63, Dent lost by unanimous decision to Roger Huerta. He was given second chance with a match against Gleison Tibau at UFC 68 which he lost by unanimous decision. Having lost both matches, Dent was cut from the UFC roster.

### The Ultimate Fighter

Dent went back to the local MMA circuit and won five of his next six fights winning three championships along the way. He tried out for *The Ultimate Fighter: United States vs. United Kingdom* and was accepted. In the preliminary elimination round, he defeated Robert Browning, securing himself a spot in *The Ultimate Fighter* house. In episode eight, Dent defeated Team UK lightweight Jeff Lawson by Anaconda Choke in the second round, earning him a spot in the semi-finals. Dent lost by decision in the semifinals to Ross Pearson.

Dent won his post TUF fight against Cameron Dollar by submission in the first round due to an anaconda choke. The fight was at the TUF 9 Finale and Dent was awarded the *Submission of the Night* bonus for the choke.

Dent faced George Sotiropoulos on November 21, 2009 at UFC 106. Dent fought George on the Prelim card, the fight started off with an exchange where both fighters were engaging but after some time Sotiropoulos took down Dent and controlled him on the ground for the duration of round one. At the start of round two, Dent once again got taken down while Sotiropoulos was working for a kimura, but was unable to lock it in. While still holding Dent's arm he instead went for an armbar which finished the fight in the second round.

Dent was released from the UFC for the second time after his loss at UFC 106.

### Post-UFC

With his latest stint in the UFC now behind him, Dent took a fight with NAAFS Middleweight Champion Chris Lozano at a catchweight of 170 pounds for the NAAFS Superfight Title. Despite suffering a broken arm sustained from blocking a kick in the 1st round, Dent traded shots with Lozano for four full rounds before the fight was ended. He returned to defend his NAAFS Lightweight belt against the Interim Champion, Bellator Featherweight Tournament finalist Daniel Mason-Straus more than a year later. While Dent again traded shots with his opponent throughout, he lost a decision on all three judges' scorecards.

Based on research by an MMA writer\] Dent owns the record for most career submissions in MMA for a UFC veteran from Ohio.

## Personal life

Dent owns the GriffonRawl MMA Academy in Mentor, Ohio, and previously hosted an MMA oriented radio talk show on WWGK Radio (*AM 1540 KNR2*) in Cleveland.

# Rio Madeira stipplethroat

The **Rio Madeira stipplethroat** (***Epinecrophylla amazonica***) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. In the past it has also been called **eastern stipple-throated antwren**, **Madeira stipple-throated antwren**, **Rio Madeira antwren**, and **Madeira antwren**.

## Taxonomy and systematics

The Rio Madeira stipplethroat was long treated as a subspecies of the rufous-backed stipplethroat (previously called rufous-backed antwren *Myrmotherula haematonota*, now *Epinecrophylla haematonota*). Beginning in 2014 taxonomists recognized it as a full species.

The Rio Madeira stipplethroat has two subspecies, the nominate *E. a. amazonica* (von Ihering, 1905) and *E. a. dentei* (Whitney, BM et al, 2013). Subspecies *E. a. dentei* was originally described as a species but was soon recognized in its current placement.

## Description

The Rio Madeira stipplethroat is 10 to 11 cm (3.9 to 4.3 in) long and weighs 8.7 to 9 g (0.31 to 0.32 oz). Adult males of the nominate subspecies have a mottled yellowish brown face and a white throat with black streaks. They have a dark yellowish brown crown, a slightly redder nape, and a dark red mantle, back, rump, and uppertail coverts. Their tail is olive-gray. Their primary wing coverts are blackish with reddish tips, the rest of the wing coverts dark brown with yellowish buff tips, and the flight feathers dark red. Their underparts are gray. Their iris is brownish red. Adult females have duller red upperparts than males. Their throat is dull yellow-brown with obscure dark marks. Their underparts are pale yellowish brown. Their iris is grayish or pale beige. Both sexes have a dark gray bill, legs, and feet. Males of subspecies *E. a. dentei* have a buffy throat with black streaks and a tail that is almost as red as the back. Females have a paler and grayer belly than the nominate.

## Distribution and habitat

The nominate subspecies *E. a. amazonica* of the Rio Madeira stipplethroat is found in south-central Amazonian Brazil from the watershed of the Juruá River east to the Madeira River, in Peru's Department of Madre de Dios, and in far northern Bolivia's Pando Department. Subspecies *E. a. dentei* is found in Brazil in the watershed of the Aripuanã and Machado rivers east of the Madeira. The area spans southern Amazonas, northwestern Mato Grosso, and northeastern Rondônia states. The species primarily inhabits lowland *terra firme* evergreen forest. In Bolivia it also occurs in more upland forest. In elevation it ranges only up to 400 m (1,300 ft).

## Behavior

### Movement

The Rio Madeira stipplethroat is believed to be a year-round resident throughout its range.

### Feeding

The Rio Madeira stipplethroat feeds on arthropods, especially insects and spiders. It typically forages singly, in pairs, or in small family groups, and usually as part of a mixed-species feeding flock. It mostly forages in the forest understory up to about 3 m (10 ft) above the ground. It takes its prey almost entirely by gleaning from dead leaves on trees but also from dead leaves caught in vine tangles and small palms.

### Breeding

Nothing is known about the Rio Madeira stipplethroat's breeding biology.

### Vocalization

The Rio Madeira stipplethroat's song is similar to that of the rufous-backed stipplethroat, which is an "extr. high, very thin, descending, rapid shiver 'tsititi---' " that lasts two or three seconds but slower and with longer notes and intervals between them. Its calls appear to be the same as the rufous-backed's, a "doublet of abrupt notes, second higher-pitched", an "abrupt single note", and a "high-pitched rattle".

## Status

The IUCN has assessed the Rio Madeira stipplethroat as being of Least Concern. It has a large range; its population size is not known and is believed to be stable. No immediate threats have been identified. It appears to be fairly common throughout its range, "which contains large, contiguous expanses of intact habitat which, although not formally protected, appear to be at minimal risk of development in the near term".
