# JB Baretsky

**JB Baretsky** (born June 9, 1987) is an American singer-songwriter from Long Island, New York. He records and performs classic standards from the Great American Songbook, covers of contemporary music, and original material.

## Early year

Baretsky grew up in a suburb, outside of New York City. He decided to take his singing career seriously when his uncle died of Lou Gehrig's disease. He started recording demos in his friend's bedroom, singing over karaoke instrumentals of old standards. He would sing at local dive bars in a suit that was too big for him, singing with a glass of iced tea in his hand, pretending to be tipsy, but telling the audience he was drinking Jack Daniel's; a joke he still uses.

Baretsky developed his first trio in 2010, with fellow students, while studying at St. Joseph's College. They would go to win several school competitions and develop a local following. After graduation, Baretsky performed throughout the New York area, honing his stage experience. Early gigs included restaurants, wine vineyards, and street fairs.

## Career

He was discovered in June 2010 by manager Raj Tawney when Baretsky sent him a demo recording of "Moondance" that sparked his interest. Tawney signed him to his New Logic Mgmt, where he began developing Baretsky's career. In the six months following, Tawneyfrequently took Baretsky to a local recording studio where they recorded dozens of demos.

In 2011, Baretsky began full studio sessions with original instrumentation and musician accompaniment with producer, Matthew Einsidler. There are 24 studio recordings available for streaming on his YouTube channel, consisting of covers and original songs.

He was invited to perform at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts at the 35th AAC Festival on June 11 and 19, 2011.

Baretsky begin receiving numerous write-ups and interviews with major publications. On September 9, 2011, he was featured in an article in *JazzTimes* about leading the jazz vocalist genre. He was twice featured in Pulse Magazine for his Lincoln Center performance and then a two-page feature in their May 2012 issue. In the March 2012 issue of Village Connection Magazine, he was featured in a full two-page spread.

He had a successful residency at Huntington Social, in Huntington, New York, from December 2011 to April 2012. A photo shoot for Baretsky was produced inside of the venue in February 2012. On February 3, 2012, Baretsky performed the standard; ""That's Life"" in a live video segment for Jon Chattman's A-Sides Music and *The Huffington Post*, alongside UK band Twin Atlantic.

On July 30, 2012, his alma mater St. Joseph's College featured Baretsky in their "Alumni Spotlight" as an outstanding alumnus.

Baretsky sold out his first headlining show at Somethin' Jazz Club in New York City on August 11, 2012.

Baretsky performed at the 2012 Oyster Bay Festival.

Baretsky performed at the Triad Theater on November 2, 2012, in New York City. The show was dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Sandy, as it was only four days after the disaster.

He is recording his debut album, *Less Is More*, which was projected for a 2013 release. The album will consist of original recordings, including his song "One Nighter." It is undetermined if any covers will appear on the track-listing.

On May 23, 2013, *The Long Islander* newspaper wrote a feature on Baretsky, detailing his career and promoting his performance with non-for-profit organization, SparkBoom, on May 31, 2013.

On September 28, 2013, St. Joseph's College, Baretsky's alma mater, dedicated a themed event featuring Baretsky and trio. The event, titled "Java, Jazz, and JB Baretsky" was highlighted in *Newsday* and FIOS 1.

In 2015 Baretsky moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. He spent all of 2015 performing stand-up comedy on various stages in Las Vegas including Planet Hollywood hotel and casino.

In January 2016 Baretsky debuted as a cast member in Tony and Tinas Wedding at Ballys hotel and Casino.

# Tamalpais Valley, California

**Tamalpais Valley** (Miwok: *Támal Pájiṣ*) is an unincorporated community in Marin County, California.

## Land

Tamalpais Valley is located at 37°53′19″N 122°32′23″W / 37.888526°N 122.539609°W / 37.888526; -122.539609. and is about 509 acres in size, with an elevation of 108 feet (33 m). The nearest cities are Mill Valley to the north and Sausalito to the southeast. Traveling by car, Tamalpais Valley is located about 10 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge and fifteen minutes from San Francisco. California State Route 1 (also known as Shoreline Highway and the Pacific Coast Highway) runs through the Valley and is the road most often used to access western Marin County.

Nearby landmarks include the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), Mount Tamalpais State Park, Muir Woods National Monument, Tennessee Valley, and Muir Beach.

A large portion of Tamalpais Valley is federal parkland – the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The area's wooded canyons host diverse wildlife, including deer, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, coyotes, foxes, chipmunks, bobcats. and mountain lions – as well as a wide variety of birds, including hummingbirds, sparrows, robins, doves, jays, hawks, herons, quail, owls, falcons, eagles, and vultures.

## People

In 2009, Tamalpais Valley's population was estimated at 11,000 (nearly the same size as Sausalito). For census purposes, Tamalpais Valley is aggregated with Homestead Valley into the census-designated place Tamalpais-Homestead Valley.

## Government

Tamalpais Valley is an unincorporated community of approximately 2,800 households, plus a few small businesses. Its local governmental agency is the Tamalpais Community Services District (TCSD), whose board of directors is elected by residents.

## History

Tamalpais Valley was first inhabited by Native American tribes such as the Miwok Indians, who left the area with the establishment of the Spanish mission and Presidio in San Francisco. Called Coyote Hollow on 19th century maps, it was granted as part of Rancho Saucelito to William Richardson in 1838. The land was acquired by attorney Samuel Reading Throckmorton, then title passed to the San Francisco Savings Union. Eventually dairymen of Portuguese Azorean birth purchased the area, among them the Dias and Pimentel/Silva families. For approximately 60 years these families operated dairy ranches around the valley, where some family members still reside. Finally S.A. Moss purchased property in the heart of the valley, and developers Cranston, Belvel & Dwyer renamed it Tamalpais Valley (it was known as **Big Coyote** until 1908); 125 lots were put up for sale to private purchasers in 1908.

Tamalpais Valley's working class and rural community grew at a fast pace during the 1920s as more families settled in the area. Small businesses, such as the Tamalpais Service Station, were opened along Shoreline Highway. By the 1950s, it had become a suburban settlement with its own primary school, sewer system, and local government.

## Recreation

The area offers a wide range of hiking and biking trails, featuring scenic views of Mount Tamalpais and the Marin Headlands, as well as the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. Some of the most popular nearby trails include Tennessee Valley trail, Miwok trail, Dias trail, and Mountain Home trail.

title: John Acton (canon lawyer)

abstract: John Acton was an English canon lawyer, known for his commentary on the writer on the ecclesiastical Constitutions of two papal legates of the thirteenth century. Sent to Henry III of England, they were Cardinal Otto, i.e. Otto of Tonengo, and Cardinal Ottobone, i.e. Ottobuono de' Fieschi. His name is variously spelt Achedune, De Athona, Athone, and Eaton.

# John Acton (canon lawyer)

**John Acton** (died 1350) was an English canon lawyer, known for his commentary on the writer on the ecclesiastical *Constitutions* of two papal legates of the thirteenth century. Sent to Henry III of England, they were Cardinal Otto, i.e. Otto of Tonengo, and Cardinal Ottobone, i.e. Ottobuono de' Fieschi (the future Pope Adrian V). His name is variously spelt Achedune, De Athona, Athone, and Eaton.

## Life

Acton is stated by John Leland to have been educated at the University of Oxford, and to have taken there the degree of LL.D. He was a pupil of John de Stratford. In 1329 he was provided by the pope to a canonry and a prebend in Lincoln Cathedral, but some years appear to have elapsed before he obtained these preferments. In 1343 he is found holding the prebend of Welton Ryval. In his books he is described as canon of Lincoln. He died in 1350.

## Works

Acton's chief work was a commentary on the ecclesiastical ‘constitutions’ of Otto and Ottobone, in succession papal legates in England in the thirteenth century. These constitutions formed for many years the English canon law, and Acton's notes were held by the lawyers of his own time in their interpretations. Many manuscript copies of Acton's commentary survived in the college libraries at Oxford. Acton's work was printed for the first time in 1496 by Wynkyn de Worde in William Lyndwood's *Provinciale*. Printed copies contain anachronistic references to books that were not written until after the death of Acton.

Sir Henry Spelman made use of Acton's commentary in his *Concilia.* It was then partly translated in John Johnson's *Collection of Ecclesiastical Laws* (London, 1720; cf. the English translation of Otto's *Ecclesiastical Laws*, by J. W. White, 1844, where many of his notes are translated). Other manuscripts are extant, and John Pits gave titles of other legal books ascribed to Acton.

Frederic William Maitland wrote of Acton that he was "a little too human to be strictly scientific. His gloss often becomes a growl against the bad world in which he lives, the greedy prelates, the hypocritical friars, the rapacious officials."

# Thundercat (snowmobile)

**Thundercat** is the name of a series of snowmobiles produced by Arctic Cat from 1993 - 2002, and subsequently from 2017 to present. When used, Thundercat denotes the most powerful model of snowmobile in Arctic Cats Line-up.

## Thundercat 900 (1993-1997)

The Thundercat series was introduced in 1993, as Arctic Cats entry into the Musclesled category. These sleds feature extremely powerful engines placed in chassis derived from racing models. The first-gen featured a Suzuki-produced, counterbalanced case-reed triple cylinder 2-stoke 900cc engine, which produced 161.5 horsepower. The engines came stock with triple tuned pipes, 38mm VM Roundslide Mikuni Carburetors and forged pistons. This shared similarities with smaller displacement contemporaries, the Arctic Cat ZRT 800, Polaris XCR 800, and the Skidoo Mach Z 800. The sled also featured a Wilwood hydraulic Disc brake. Attaining a confirmed trap speed of 113mph while ridden by Jim Dimmerman, the 1993 sled set a then-current world speed record. These initial models were built on the AWS3 chassis, which had been introduced by Arctic Cat for select 1992 models. In 1996, the 900 was upgraded to the AWS4 chassis.

## Thundercat 1000 (1998-2002)

In 1998, in an effort to maintain dominance in the Musclesled category, the Thundercat displacement was increased to the 999cc. They continued to use a Suzuki-produced, counterbalanced case-reed triple cylinder engine, but now had an output of 172hp. The machine was also notable for using many weight-cutting measures, such as plastic skis, aluminum spindles, and aluminum-stamped rails. These measures made the sled lighter than many other manufacturers 800cc-class snowmobiles of the same year. In 1999, the model was revamped with the AWS5 chassis. In 2000, the carburetors were changed to TM Flatslides. In 2002, reverse and Electric start were added.

As of 2016, when the NSSR last posted updated speed records, the 1998 Thundercat had held the stock 1000cc speed record for 18 years, with Paddy Olsen riding one to 120.893MPH

## ZR 9000 Thundercat (2017-present)

Announced in 2016, Arctic Cat reintroduced the Thundercat nameplate on their most powerful snowmobile of the 2017 line-up, after a 15 year gap. This iteration features a Yamaha-produced 998cc 4-stroke, DOHC engine with Turbo-charger, capable of excess of 200hp. The machine features the auto-tensioning *Team Rapid Response II* Drive clutch, a digital dash and Fox Zero QS3 shock absorbers. In a 2017 Review, Denis Lavoie praised the smooth power delivery, lighting and trail-manners of the Thundercat, while criticizing the reverse gear operation and handlebar mounted display-dial placement.

## Other use of the Thundercat Moniker

Arctic Cat utilized the Thundercat name within their ATV line, to denote the largest displacement models from 2007 until 2010.

title: Max Rep

abstract: Max Rep: Mr. Astrotitan 2206 and Max Rep in the Age of Astrotitans were comic strips appearing originally in FLEX in the late 1980s, and then in Muscular Development magazine throughout the 90's, and a Comic Book published by Dumbbell Press and created by illustrator Lyman Dally after the strip's cancellation which was initiated by Dally over creative differences. After numerous fan inquiries, requests, and some persuasion, Dally began the twice weekly webcomic Steroids 'n' Asteroids with Quadra Blu in 2011. Taking place in the 23rd century, Max Rep: Mr. Astrotitan 2206 was a sci-fi parody involving Max Rep's ongoing heroics and relationship with Quadra Blu. The comic strip ran in the 90's and was usually two pages. When the editors of Muscular Development requested that the strip take a different direction with Max & Quadra both being "downsized" and offering "instructional instead of serialized" content, Dally refused and cancelled the strip. The cancellation coincided with the beginning of an intended story arc which would have had Quadra Blu quit bodybuilding to pursue a career as a fitness model, much to Max's chagrin. The comic book Max Rep in the Age of Astrotitans was black & white and ran for two issues and published independently from Muscular Development. The comic book differed from the strip by rebooting Max Rep's origin story. The webcomic Steroids 'n' Asteroids tells Quadra Blu's origin story and is a partial reboot. In it, Quadra leaves her homeworld of Thyra for Earth to work for the company Acromion Processes promoting Andropops.

title: Free Internet Act

abstract: The Freedom of Internet Act is an act aimed to legislate the Internet and its uses worldwide, as an alternative to SOPA and PIPA. The idea was originated in a Reddit post and the act is being developed in a subsection of Reddit specifically created for this purpose. As one of the first instances of crowd sourcing legislation, it has raised questions concerning public participation in government in the 21st century. The act passed January 12, 2012. Early articles by blog site Techdirt and technology news site Techspot show that there is an interest to see how this proposal will pan out in the wake of the successful Reddit campaign to halt the passage of SOPA and PIPA.

# Free Internet Act

The **Freedom of Internet Act** (formerly Free Internet Act) is an act aimed to legislate the Internet and its uses worldwide, as an alternative to SOPA and PIPA. The idea was originated in a Reddit post and the act is being developed in a subsection of Reddit specifically created for this purpose. As one of the first instances of crowd sourcing legislation, it has raised questions concerning public participation in government in the 21st century. The act passed January 12, 2012.

Early articles by blog site Techdirt and technology news site Techspot show that there is an interest to see how this proposal will pan out in the wake of the successful Reddit campaign to halt the passage of SOPA and PIPA. Some technology journalists wrote tongue-in-cheek commentaries on the situation. Covered by RT, Alexis Ohanian, Co-founder of Reddit, explained that

> This is definitely a first, but I'll tell you we are in uncharted territory. This is a community that a few years ago decided it was going to be a good idea to have the world's largest secret santa exchange, and *did it*. And entire websites have been devoted to this, and now twice a year you can exchange secret santa gifts with people all across the world. It just kind of works. And it's this decentralized magic, that has done so much for the SOPA and PIPA fight thus far, yeah I wouldn't put anything past them. Now there is still a long way to go from great discussions online to actual legislation, but what's really excited is that what's come out of the backlash is that there are legislators, there are senators and representatives who are actually listening.

## Points of Discussion

In preparation for drafting of the proposed legislation, the community of individuals involved have created threads of discussion and debate dedicated to answering the broad questions associated with legislation of this kind. The topics include:

### Privacy

Article VII Section B of the Act states that “Everything a user does with their computer is considered private.” Any actions a user takes to protect their privacy, such as using proxies, cannot be assumed to be used for illegal actions. The Act classifies the following as private data: all data that can personally identify the owner, harm the owner in any way, data that has not been explicitly agreed to be public, and all encrypted data is considered to be private. Additionally, data collected for judicial proceedings must be able to be used as evidence. According to the act: “Any data absorbed during the search for evidence must be returned to its owner within 15 business days. Any copies of data not used as evidence must be permanently deleted and removed from any kind of storage.” However, content that a user knows is illegal to upload in a given region is not considered private data (for example, child pornography). Users who download such data and who neglect to report it are also liable for the data.

### Censorship

The Act proposes that all sovereign Federal and State Governments cannot censor any kind of material on the Internet other than child pornography and financial scams, and in order to censor those topics, it must be done after they are uploaded because it would be illegal to monitor any data while it is being uploaded. Additionally, only the creator or uploader can be held responsible for illegal material, and any time material is removed, the uploader must be notified.

### Free Speech

By prohibiting censorship of the internet, the FIA would carry this most basic American right on to the internet. In the most recent draft of the act, it states that the “FIA will allow internet users to browse freely without any means of censorship, users have the right to free speech and to free knowledge; we govern the content of the internet, governments don’t.” With no legal government presiding over online content, one would be able to freely post, share, and say whatever one desired on the internet.

Kevin Lincoln, a writer for *Business Insider*, argued that the Act is extremely weak in protecting copyright because under the act, content that may infringe on copyright can only be policed after it is uploaded. Only the uploader, not the website hosting possibly illegal content, would be penalized. To prove that someone violated copyright, the accuser must prove that the uploader knew they were uploading illegal content and they did not know they were uploading it for Fair Use. The accused person must be notified 30 days before the content is taken down so they have adequate time to fight the claim. Monitoring of content being downloaded, uploaded or edited would not be allowed without legal permission, and to try to remove content without a court order would be considered against the freedom of speech and the perpetrator would be subject to legal penalty.

## Criticism

Techspot published an article that questioned whether the Reddit community effort would be able to produce a successful bill. A Business Insider article alleges that the proposed bill "is so weak in protecting copyright that it would likely revert the Internet back to a Wild West-type situation where more or less anything goes." The article concludes that the bill would make violation of copyright widespread and copyright litigation difficult due to increased burdens of proof and increased immunity for hosting.

Inside of Reddit, community members have voiced concern about both the direction of the bill and language used in it, suggesting that the use of the community contributions instead of a professional group to draft the bill will decrease the quality of the bill.

# French submarine Achille

***Achille*** was a French Navy *Redoutable*-class submarine of the M6 series commissioned in 1933. She participated in World War II until she was scuttled in June 1940.

## Characteristics

*Achille* was part of a fairly homogeneous series of 31 deep-sea patrol submarines also called "1,500-tonners" because of their displacement. All entered service between 1931 and 1939.

The *Redoutable*-class submarines were 92.3 metres (302 ft 10 in) long and 8.1 metres (26 ft 7 in) in beam and had a draft of 4.4 metres (14 ft 5 in). They could dive to a depth of 80 metres (262 ft). They displaced 1,572 tonnes (1,547 long tons) on the surface and 2,082 tonnes (2,049 long tons) underwater. Propelled on the surface by two diesel engines producing a combined 6,000 horsepower (4,474 kW), they had a maximum speed of 18.6 knots (34.4 km/h; 21.4 mph). When submerged, their two electric motors produced a combined 2,250 horsepower (1,678 kW) and allowed them to reach 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). Also called “deep-cruising submarines”, their range on the surface was 10,000 nautical miles (19,000 km; 12,000 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). Underwater, they could travel 100 nautical miles (190 km; 120 mi) at 5 knots (9.3 km/h; 5.8 mph).

## Construction and commissioning

Laid down at Arsenal de Brest in Brest, France, on 1 September 1928 with the hull number Q147, *Achille* was launched on 28 May 1930. She was commissioned on 29 June 1933.

## Service history

### 1933–1939

*Achille* arrived at Brest, France, on 5 August 1936. In 1937, she received orders to conduct a cruise to Douala in French Cameroon with her sister ship *Pasteur* to test the endurance of French submariners and their equipment. On 26 March 1938, she departed France for a cruise to Port-Gentil in Gabon, at the time a territory of French Equatorial Africa.

### World War II

At the start of World War II in September 1939, *Achille* was assigned to the 2nd Submarine Division in the 4th Submarine Squadron in the 1st Flotilla, a component of the *Forces de haute mer* (High Seas Force), based at Brest. Her sister ships *Casabianca*, *Pasteur*, and *Sfax* made up the rest of the division.

On 14 September 1939, the four submarines of the 2nd Submarine Division as well as their sister ships *Agosta* and *Ouessant* received orders to establish a standing patrol off the coast of Spain. The six submarines spent six weeks patrolling off Vigo, where part of the German merchant fleet — which the Allies suspected of serving as supply ships for German U-boats — had taken refuge at the start of the war. Before their patrols ended on 30 October 1939, the six French submarines had spent a combined 67 days at sea on patrol in very harsh conditions with no results.

On 14 November 1939, the 2nd Submarine Division received orders to proceed to Halifex, Nova Scotia, Canada, to take part in Allied convoy operations in the Atlantic Ocean. *Achille*, *Casabianca*, *Pasteur*, and *Sfax* arrived at Halifax on 25 November 1939, where the British Royal Navy submarines HMS *Cachalot*, HMS *Narwhal*, HMS *Porpoise*, and HMS *Seal* joined them on 26 November 1939. During the winter of 1939–1940, the submarines escorted three convoys from Halifex to the United Kingdom in difficult weather conditions.

Beginning on 22 March 1940, the division was based at Harwich on the North Sea coast of England. On 17 April 1940, the division moved to Dundee, Scotland, where it joined the British submarines HMS *Clyde* and HMS *Severn* in forming the 9th Flotilla. From Dundee, the submarines operated in the North Sea in support of Allied forces fighting in the Norwegian campaign as German forces began their conquest of Norway. While departing Dundee on 18 April 1940, *Achille* collided with *Pasteur*, damaging one of *Pasteur*′s diving planes and one of her propeller shafts. Shortly afterward, *Achille* almost torpedoed *Sfax* before her commanding officer identified *Sfax* as one of her sister ships arriving to relieve *Achille* on her patrol station.

From 7 to 20 May 1940, *Achille*, *Casabianca*, and *Sfax* patrolled off Bergen, Stavanger, and Ergersund, Norway, with *Achille* beginning a patrol in the Skagerrak on 7 May. While she was returning from this patrol, a British bomber mistook her for a German submarine and attacked her in Dundee Channel, dropping five bombs. *Achille* suffered serious damage, particularly to her ballast tanks, propeller shafts, and hydrophones. She proceeded to Brest for repairs, arriving there on 29 May 1940. She began a major refit at Brest on 14 June 1940.

German ground forces advanced into France on 10 May 1940, beginning the Battle of France, and Italy declared war on France on 10 June 1940 and joined the invasion. *Achille* was in drydock and unable to move under her own power as German forces approached Brest. To prevent the Germans from capturing her, she was scuttled at Brest at 19:00 on 18 June 1940. The Battle of France ended in France's defeat and armistices with Germany on 22 June 1940 and with Italy on 24 June, both of which went into effect on 25 June 1940. The Germans later refloated *Achille* to clear her berth.

# Tibeto-Burman migration to Indian subcontinent

The **Tibeto-Burman migration to the Indian subcontinent** started around 1000 BC. The Tibeto-Burman speakers of the subcontinent are found in Nepal, Northeast India, and the Eastern Himalayas.

## Origin

The origin of the Tibeto-Burman speakers was located in the upper course of Yangtse and the Haong Ho (Yellow) rivers in North West China.

## Population

The Tibeto-Burman speaking groups categorised as tribes constitute 31.36% of the total population of Nepal, 12.5% in Assam, 68.79% in Arunachal Pradesh, 35.14% in Manipur, 94.44% in Mizoram, 86.46% in Nagaland and 31.76% in Tripura.

title: Maxilla (arthropod mouthpart)

abstract: In arthropods, the maxillae are paired structures present on the head as mouthparts in members of the clade Mandibulata, used for tasting and manipulating food. Embryologically, the maxillae are derived from the 4th and 5th segment of the head and the maxillary palps; segmented appendages extending from the base of the maxilla represent the former leg of those respective segments. In most cases, two pairs of maxillae are present and in different arthropod groups the two pairs of maxillae have been variously modified. In crustaceans, the first pair are called maxillulae. Modified coxae at the base of the pedipalps in spiders are also called "maxillae", although they are not homologous with mandibulate maxillae.

# Maxilla (arthropod mouthpart)

In arthropods, the **maxillae** (singular **maxilla**) are paired structures present on the head as mouthparts in members of the clade Mandibulata, used for tasting and manipulating food. Embryologically, the maxillae are derived from the 4th and 5th segment of the head and the maxillary palps; segmented appendages extending from the base of the maxilla represent the former leg of those respective segments. In most cases, two pairs of maxillae are present and in different arthropod groups the two pairs of maxillae have been variously modified. In crustaceans, the first pair are called **maxillulae** (singular **maxillula**).

Modified coxae at the base of the pedipalps in spiders are also called "maxillae", although they are not homologous with mandibulate maxillae.

## Myriapoda

### Millipedes

In millipedes, the second maxillae have been lost, reducing the mouthparts to only the first maxillae which have fused together to form a **gnathochilarium**, acting as a lower lip to the buccal cavity and the mandibles which have been enlarged and specialized greatly, used for chewing food. The gnathochilarium is richly infused with chemosensory and tactile receptors along its edge. A pair of maxillary glands, also called nephridial organs, involved in osmoregulation and excreting nitrogenous waste open up to the gnathochilarium and wastes are passed entirely through the digestive tract before being evacuated. The nephridial organs are thought to be derived from similar organs in annelids, although reduced in number since the open circulatory system of arthropods lessens the demand on separate excretory organs. The reason for their anterior location is probably because these organs must be developed early on in the embryo and millipedes and other arthropods develop mainly by proliferation of cells at the posterior of the embryo.

### Centipedes

In centipedes, both pairs of maxillae are developed. The first maxillae are situated ventrally to the mandibles and obscure them from view. This pair consists of a basal plate formed from the fused coxae of each leg plus ventral sternite from this segment and is hence called a coxosternite and two pairs of conically jointed appendages called telopodites and coxal projections. The second maxillae, which partly cover the first maxillae, consist of only a telopodite and a coxosternite. The telopodite is recognizably leglike in structure and consists of three segments plus an apical claw. The second maxillae also have a metameric pore, which is the opening of the maxillary gland and maxillary nephridium homologous to those of millipedes.

## Crustaceans

In crustaceans, the two pairs of maxillae are called maxillulae (1st pair) and maxillae (2nd pair). They serve to transport food to the mandibles but also frequently help in the filtration process and additionally they may sometimes play a role in cleaning and grooming. These structures show an incredible diversity throughout crustaceans but generally are very much flattened and leaf-like. The two pairs are normally positioned very close together and their apical parts generally are in direct contact with the mandible.

## Hexapoda

The generalized condition in hexapods is for the first pair of maxillae to consist of a basal triangular sclerite called the cardo and a large central sclerite called the stipes from which arise three processes: the lacinia, the galea and the maxillary palp. The lacinia is often strongly sclerotized and toothed. It functions to cut and manipulate food in the mouth. The galea is a broad, scoop-like, lobe structure, which assists the maxillary palps in sampling items before ingestion. The maxillary palp is serially homologous to the walking leg while the cardo and stipes are regarded by most to be serially homologous to the first leg segment, the coxa. The labium is immediately posterior to the first maxillae and is formed from the fusion of the second maxillae, although in lower orders including the Archaeognatha (bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) the two maxillae are not completely fused. It consists of a basal submentum, which connects with the prementum through a narrow sclerite, the mentum. The labium forms the lower portion of the buccal cavity in insects. The prementum has a pair of labial palps laterally, and two broad soft lobes called the paraglossae medially. These paraglossae have two small slender lobes called glossae at their base.

### Specializations

In many hexapods, the mouthparts have been modified for different functions and the maxillae and labium can change in structure greatly. In bees, the maxillae and labium have been modified and fused to form a nectar-sucking proboscis. In the order Hemiptera, the true bugs, plant hoppers, etc., the mouthparts have been modified to form a beak for piercing. The labium forms a sheath around a set of stylets that consist of an outer pair of mandibles and an inner pair of maxillae. In lapping flies, a proboscis is formed from mostly the labium specialized for lapping up liquids. The labial palps form a labella which have sclerotized bands for directing liquid to a hypopharangeal stylet, through which the fly can imbibe liquids. In lepidopterans, the fluid-sucking proboscis is formed entirely from the galea of the maxillae although labial palps are also present. In Odonata nymphs, the labium forms a mask-like extensible structure, which is used for reaching out and grasping prey.

# Fremont High School (Sunnyvale, California)

**Fremont High School** is a co-educational, public high school in Sunnyvale, California, United States. Fremont is currently the only open public high school located in the city of Sunnyvale and is part of the Fremont Union High School District (FUHSD).

## History

Fremont High School was originally named West Side Union High School, the first school opened in the West Side Union High School District. In 1923, it opened in rooms of the Sunnyvale Grammar School as the only high school in the SunnyvaleCupertino (West Valley) area, and then moved to a temporary building after purchase of the school site in 1923. The school building was designed in 1925 by noted California school architect W. H. Weeks, after the necessary bond referendum passed on the third attempt. On March 27, 1925, the board of trustees unanimously voted to change the name of the school and district to Fremont Union High School.

In 1942, during the Second World War, Fremont became a temporary recruitment training ground and around half of the class of 1942 joined the military.

In 1969, a late-night fire occurred in the bell tower of the main building; the 1970 freshman class went to Monta Vista High School in Cupertino while rebuilding was done.

On July 1, 1996, after much controversy, the Fremont Union School Board did away with the original Indian mascot, replacing it with the current Firebirds mascot.

Famous YouTuber and former NASA engineer Mark Rober uploaded a video about the true scale of the Solar System in 2016, with scaled objects laid on starting on Fremont's field and going beyond.

## Campus

Fremont High School is located at the intersection of Fremont Avenue and Sunnyvale–Saratoga Road. The Fremont Union High School District's offices are also located on the school campus.

The original buildings are built in a Spanish mission architectural style. Three classroom buildings that were added in the 1950s on the Fremont Avenue side were demolished and replaced with new instructional and administrative space also in mission style, creating a quadrangle.

## Demographics

In the 2014–2015 school year, Fremont had a total enrollment of 1,964 students. Asian students comprised 20.7% of the school's student population while Filipino & Pacific Islander students made up 12.1%. Black students made up 3.1% of the population. Hispanic students were the largest group, representing 44% of the student population with White students the second largest at 26.9% of the student population. Also, there were a small number of American Indian & Alaska Native students, around 0.1% of the student population.

Additionally, 21.1% of the students are English language learners and 42.3% are socio-economically disadvantaged.

## Extracurriculars

Fremont students participate in a wide range of extracurricular activities ranging from marching band and athletics to various cultural, community service, and general interest clubs like Octagon, Key Club, Culinary Club, Smart Finance Club, LiNK (Liberty in North Korea), the Apple Club, KDT(Konnect Dance Troupe) a Kpop club, and The Movie Club. The poetry slam team has won numerous awards at spoken word poetry competitions. Fremont High School DECA has a variety of outstanding achievements, having over 2000 hours of community service as a whole for the 09–10 school year (more than all other Fremont clubs combined) and having sent numerous competitors to represent at the international competitive level. Seventy-five percent of those representatives became finalists at those international competitions. The Fremont wrestling team was one of the highest ranking high school wrestling teams in the state, taking 3rd place as a team at California Interscholastic Federation championships in 2006. They had 3 state champions that year and 2 of them went on to compete internationally. They still are one of the top teams in the Central Coast Section. In 2003–2004 the Fremont varsity cheerleaders took 1st place in every regional competition in which they competed. They then went on to win two United Spirit Association National Championships in Anaheim. They won the title for Small Coed Show Cheer and Coed Partner Stunt.

# Frederick House River

The **Frederick House River** is a river in the James Bay and Moose River drainage basins in Cochrane District in northeastern Ontario, Canada. It flows 100 kilometres (62 mi) from Night Hawk Lake in the city of Timmins to its mouth at the Abitibi River in Cochrane, Unorganized, North Part. Both the river and the associated Hudson's Bay Company Frederick House post (1785–1821) are named for Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, son of George III of the United Kingdom,

## Course

The Frederick House River begins at Night Hawk Lake in Timmins at an elevation of 274 metres (899 ft). It flows north into Frederick House Lake at the community of Connaught, near the site of the Hudson's Bay Company Frederick House post, continues north out of the lake into Cochrane, Unorganized, North Part, flows over a small dam and the Wanatango Falls, and takes in the right tributary Wicklow River. It continues north passing along the western border of the town of Cochrane. It flows over the Neelands Rapids, under the Ontario Highway 11 and Ontario Northland Railway (formerly a section of the National Transcontinental Railway) bridges, and over the Sankey Rapids at the community of Frederick. The river takes in the left tributary Buskegau River at the Carter Rapids, continues north, and reaches its mouth as a left tributary of the Abitibi River at an elevation of 216 metres (709 ft).

## Tributaries

## Frederick House

Frederick House Lake is about 20 miles northeast of Timmins, Ontario, about 5 miles north of Ontario Highway 101 and 5 miles southwest of the Ontario Highway 11 and about 16 miles northwest of the point where the two highways meet. Since the Frederick House River is a north-flowing tributary of the Abitibi, it is somewhat west of the main canoe route from James Bay up the Abitibi River, portage to Lake Timiskaming and down the Ottawa River to Montreal. In June 1784 Philip Turnor was sent from Moose Factory up the Abitibi to establish a post somewhere upriver. His boats proved defective and he was forced to winter at the junction of the Frederick House and Abitibi rivers. Next spring he went up the Frederick House and established a post on the lake where he remained as master until 1787. It was temporarily closed from 1795 to 1798. The post proved difficult to supply because both the Frederick House and Abitibi Rivers are difficult for canoes. Montreal-based traders sent men to divert Indians away from the fort. In January 1812 there was a proposal for the HBC to give up its post on Lake Abitibi in exchange for the Northwest Company's withdrawal from Frederick House. This was not acted upon because of the following. In December 1812 a man called Capascoos murdered everyone at the post (3 Europeans and 9 Indians). He apparently spent the winter there and murdered any arrival that might tell the tale. When two men arrived from another post they found Frederick House deserted and looted. When the snow melted 12 bodies were found. A reward was offered for Capascoos, but he was never caught. The post was never re-built. In 1911 a steam shovel building the Ontario Northland Railway unearthed the remains of the fort and several skeletons were found in shallow graves. The site is said to have been on Barber's Bay, but the southern part of the Lake was drained when the Frederick House River was diverted. There is a marker on highway 101.

abstract: The Fremantle Volunteer Sea Rescue Group Inc, or Fremantle Sea Rescue (FSR), is a volunteer lead marine search and rescue service based in Fremantle, Western Australia. It operates continuously and responds to approximately 700 incidents a year. It is one of 39 sea rescue services recognised by the Department of Fire and Emergency Services, who between them cover over 13,000 kilometres (8,100 mi) of the Western Australian coast. Fremantle Sea Rescue was established in 1977. Prior to 1975 there was no formal sea rescue service operating in WA. Following an incident in 1972 when two people drowned after their boat hit a submerged object, at the insistence of East Fremantle Yacht Club, yacht clubs in the Perth area formed the Volunteer Sea Search and Rescue Association (WA) in 1975. It was from this organisation that the Fremantle Sea Rescue Service was formed. In 1999 FSR was based at Challenger Harbour. In 2004 three Perth sea rescue groups, Fremantle included, had issues over insurance cover provided by the government authority Fire and Emergency Services. The issue deepened further in 2012 when it appeared that FSR may have had to withdraw their fleet from service. In November 2016 FSR moved into the vacant signal station on top of Cantonment Hill giving them views across Gage Roads to the popular holiday destination of Rottnest Island. FSR receives on average 33,000 calls per year, which results in them rescuing between 600 and 700 vessels.

title: Tiger's blood

abstract: Tiger's blood or tiger blood is a flavor of shave ice, snow cones, and other products. It does not contain blood or anything from tigers. The flavor is a combination of strawberry, watermelon, and a smaller amount of coconut, though some syrup makers have slightly different recipes and add other flavors like cherry. Though the flavor is strongly associated with Hawaiʻi, some think it originated in Texas in the 1980s. However, ads from the area at the time make clear the connection to Hawaiʻi, and the flavor was still considered exotic in Texas into the next decade. Also in the mid 1980's tiger blood was appearing in Utah and South Carolina along with imaginative flavors like "rock & roll" and "popeye". In 1977 the flavor was in Missouri at a New Orleans-style shave-ice shop.

title: May Marsden

# May Marsden

**May Marsden** (6 May 1876 – 12 July 1968) was an Australian artist and educationist who was born in Wales. She lectured at the Sydney Teachers' College and she is creditted with changing the way art was taught to secondary students. She encouraged that they should be innovative and more conservative approaches were discouraged.

## Life

Marsden was born in Churchstoke in what was then Monmouthshire which is just in Wales. She began her artistic training in the Derby Central School of Art and then she qualified as a teacher at Kensington's Royal College of Art. She was teaching girls in Liverpool and she exhibited her paintings there. She also showed then in Leicester and Derby.

In 1913 she and her parents emigrated to Australia. She was employed at the new Sydney Teachers' College by the Scottish born academic Alexander Mackie as an art lecturer. The Australian Watercolour Institute was formed and their first exhibition was in 1924 and she exhibited with them. Some of her drawings from 1929 are in the New South Wales Art Gallery and the watercolour "Magnolias".

She was an inspiring teacher believing that artists need to be left alone. She gained a name for teaching children art by not teaching them. She filled the corridors of Sydney Teachers' College with copies of paintings by the great masters and prints of contemporary work including that of Eleonore Lange. She enjoyed the support of Mackie in her approach although some thought her eccentric. She ran a sketching club and she would persuade her students to gather around a piece of art in the corridor where she would inform and entertain them. One of her earlist students was Portia Mary Bennett and a later student was the surrealist James Gleeson. She persuaded him to switch from poetry to art to explore his hatred of fascism as the war came to Australia.

Marsden is creditted with changing the way that art was taught to secondary students. Historically there had been a very conservative approach but Marsden inspired teachers to encourage innovation in their students. She was employed by the Sydney Teachers' College until 1941. Marsden died in 1968 in her home in the Sydney suburb of Artarmon.

title: May Maxwell

abstract: Mary "May" Maxwell was an early American member of the Baháʼí Faith.

text:
# May Maxwell

**Mary "May" Maxwell** (née **Bolles**; born 14 January 1870 in Englewood, New Jersey; died 1 March 1940 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) was an early American member of the Baháʼí Faith.

## Early life

**Mary Ellis Bolles** was born to John Bolles and Mary Martin Bolles, in Englewood, New Jersey. She was nicknamed 'May' to distinguish her from her mother. May was of English ancestry. The Bolles family were distinguished in New York City, owning a successful bank in the city. When she was fourteen May was sent to England to live with her English cousins. For one year May lived in Kensington. May became very spiritually minded; she was given a gift of a Bible in 1885, which she studied and read daily.

As May approached her late teens, her family saw it was the time for her to be married. Phoebe Hearst, who was a close friend of her mother, funded May's extravagant debutante ball. She was 'brought out' in Washington. May was considered a great beauty with a petite figure, blue eyes and long fair hair attracting several suitors who courted her. The rejection of several marriage proposals frustrated her family. She was bought out again into Newport society in the hopes of finding a husband. May fell in love during this period and became engaged, but it was broken off. May plunged into depression, and it was around this time that her health seriously deteriorated.

In late 1894, May moved to Paris with her mother and brother; who was attending the École des Beaux-Arts. May's mother still hoped for her to marry, but May resented the Parisian high society. She went through periods of deep depression and insomnia and even considered entering a convent. In 1897 May lost both her grandmother and cousin whom she was very close to. At 27 May became obsessed with mortality and became bedridden leading to many of her family members believing she was going to die.

## Pilgrimage to Acre

In November 1898, Phoebe Hearst, accompanied by her nieces and other Baháʼís like Lua Getsinger, stopped off at Paris before concluding their journey to the East. Hearst was shocked to see 28-year-old May bedridden with the chronic malady which had inflicted her. She invited May to sojourn to the East with her believing the change of air to be conducive to her health. Getsinger also disclosed to May the purpose of the journey; a pilgrimage to visit the head of the Baháʼí religion ʻAbdu'l-Bahá. May arrived in Acre in February 1899. She wrote of the first time she met ʻAbdu'l-Bahá as "of that first meeting I can remember neither joy nor pain nor anything that I can name".

## As a Baháʼí

May returned to Paris and began teaching her new faith and played a significant role in introducing the religion to several people while in Paris. She helped convert several new believers, including Charles Mason Remey, Hippolyte Dreyfus, Laura Barney (Dreyfus), Englishman Thomas Breakwell and Juliet Thompson. On her return five of the younger female pilgrims had a photograph commissioned and sent to ʻAbdu'l-Bahá. On receiving the photograph he wrote a tablet addressed to the five, whom he named the "Five Holy Leaves". She met a close friend of her brother's, William Sutherland Maxwell, a Canadian of Scottish background, and the two married in 1902 in London. William had been introduced to the religion before their marriage but he did not become a Baháʼí until 1909, after meeting ʻAbdu'l-Bahá. The couple had one child, a daughter named Mary.

The couple moved to Montreal, and May set up a Baháʼí center in her home. Prior to 1912, she supported a Children's Court for Montreal, and her efforts were chief in maintaining the Colborne Street Milk Station. In about 1914, she brought a Montessori teacher from New York to their home in Montreal to start the first school of this type in Canada. In Montreal May continued to convert people such as Arthur Armstrong, Rose Henderson and her husband's cousin Martha MacBean. In 1912 ʻAbdu'l-Bahá visited Canada and stayed with the Maxwells. She was an early participant at Green Acre, the first Baháʼí training facility in the United States. In 1927 she was a member of the US and Canada National Spiritual Assembly.

In 1937, her life changed dramatically after her daughter, Mary, was married to Shoghi Effendi, then head of the Baháʼí Faith.

## Death

Despite poor health, on January 24, 1940 May chose to leave New York on a steamship to Brazil, ultimately to land in Argentina to teach the Faith with her niece, Jeanne Bolles. She arrived in Buenos Aires on February 27 with elation; however on March 1, May died of a heart attack. Shoghi Effendi gave her the status of martyr and cabled the following: "ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's beloved handmaid, distinguished disciple May Maxwell (is) gathered (into the) glory (of the) Abhá Kingdom. Her earthly life, so rich, eventful, incomparably blessed, (is) worthily ended. To sacred tie her signal services had forged, (the) priceless honor (of a) martyr's death (is) now added. (A) double crown deservedly won. (The) Seven-Year Plan, particularly (the) South American campaign, derive fresh impetus (from the) example (of) her glorious sacrifice. Southern outpost (of) Faith greatly enriched through association (with) her historic resting-place destined remain (a) poignant reminder (of the) resistless march (of the) triumphant army (of) Baháʼu'lláh. Advise believers (of) both Americas (to) hold befitting memorial gathering.".

The moth family Noctuidae are mostly classified in the family Erebidae now, along with all of the former members of the families Arctiidae and Lymantriidae. This re-classification has not yet met with general consensus, and many resources and publications still follow the older classification scheme.

## Description

The wingspan is about 30–46 mm. Antennae of male ciliated. Mid and hind tibia hairy. Body pale ochreous brown, slightly suffused with fuscous or dark grey brown. Forewings with a large black white-edged triangular patch easily distinguished below the cell from near base to towards outer angle. A similar smaller patch found beyond the cell on vein 5, with some pale fulvous behind it. A slightly sinuous submarginal pale line with patches of black suffusion found inside it and a series of black specks beyond it. A dark marginal line can be seen as well. Hindwings with indistinct medial line and fuscous suffused outer area.

Larva has yellow upper half and brown ventral part. The yellow part is broken by longitudinal brown bands, which faints towards posterior and becomes intensive again in prolegs. Eggs olive green and speckled rusty red. First few instars are green with three lateral purple brown lines. Late instars are yellowish. Pupa within a slight cocoon of white silk, which spun amongst leaves.

The larvae feed on *Chrysopogon*, *Eleusine* *Glycine*, *Indigofera*, *Kummerovia*, *Medicago*, *Phaseolus*, *Rhynchosia* and *Nephelium* species.

# Geoffroy's tailless bat

**Geoffroy's tailless bat** (***Anoura geoffroyi***) is a species of phyllostomid bat from the American tropics.

## Description

Geoffroy's tailless bat is a medium-sized bat, measuring around 7 cm (2.8 in) in total length and weighing 10 to 15 g (0.35 to 0.53 oz). It has dark to dull brown fur over much of its body, with greyish-brown underparts and silvery-grey fur on the neck and shoulders. The wings are black or very dark brown, while the membrane between the legs is relatively small and covered in hair. As its name suggests, the bat does not possess a tail. It has a long muzzle, a projecting lower jaw, and short, rounded ears. Its tongue is long and narrow, with a pointed tip covered with fine papillae that help to draw up nectar when it feeds.

Males and females do not vary much in size in Brazil, but in Trinidad, another area where *Anoura geoffroyi* lives, the females are reported to have slightly longer forearms than the males.

## Distribution and habitat

Geoffroy's tailless bat is found from northern Mexico, through much of Central America, across northern South America, and through Peru to parts of Bolivia and Brazil immediately south of the Amazon Basin. It has also been reported from both Trinidad and Grenada. The bat inhabits wooded environments between 400 and 2,500 m (1,310 and 8,200 ft) elevation, including pine and oak forests, cloud forest, cerrado, and agricultural land.

Three subspecies are currently recognised:

## Behaviour and diet

The bat is primarily insectivorous, with up to 90% of its diet consisting of moths and beetles, as well as other arthropods. However, they also eat some fruit and lap up nectar and pollen from a wide range of flowers, and has even been reported to subsist entirely on nectar in some parts of its range.

They are nocturnal, resting in caves close to water during the day, either alone, or in colonies of up to 300 individuals, although colony sizes of 20 to 75 are more common. The species is a swift flier, and is able to hover. It uses both vision and echolocation to navigate, with its hearing being most sensitive between 65 and 75 kHz. Since it feeds on similar insects to other local species of bats, it may avoid competition by feeding at discrete altitudes not favoured by those bats.

## Lifecycle

Mating in Geoffroy's tailless bats seems to take place primarily between March and August, corresponding with the rainy season and allowing the young to be born when food is most abundant. However, the precise mating season, if any, seems to vary across the bat's range. Gestation takes four months and births have been found to be in different months by geography: July in Nicaragua, June in Peru, March in Costa Rica, etc.
