# Marlborough Sounds

The **Marlborough Sounds** (te reo Māori: *Te Tauihu-o-te-Waka*) are an extensive network of sea-drowned valleys at the northern end of the South Island of New Zealand. The Marlborough Sounds were created by a combination of land subsidence and rising sea levels. According to Māori mythology, the sounds are the prows of the many sunken waka of Aoraki.

## Overview

Covering some 4,000 km2 (1,500 sq mi) of sounds, islands, and peninsulas, the Marlborough Sounds lie at the South Island's north-easternmost point, between Tasman Bay in the west and Cloudy Bay in the south-east. The almost fractal coastline has 1/10 of the length of New Zealand's coasts.

The steep, wooded hills and small quiet bays of the sounds are sparsely populated, as access is difficult. Many of the small settlements and isolated houses are only accessible by boat. The main large port is Picton on the mainland, at the head of Queen Charlotte Sound. It is at the northern terminus of the South Island's main railway and state highway networks. The main small-boat port, Waikawa, is one of New Zealand's largest and provides a base for leisure sailors and vacationers.

The main sounds, other than Queen Charlotte Sound, are Pelorus Sound / Te Hoiere and Kenepuru Sound. Havelock is a small port town at the head of Pelorus Sound / Te Hoiere. Tory Channel is a major arm of Queen Charlotte Sound, and between them, the Channel and the Sound isolate the hills of Arapaoa Island from the mainland. Other major islands in the sounds include D'Urville Island.

The Sounds are home to the entire breeding population of the rare and vulnerable rough-faced shag (also known as the New Zealand king cormorant) which nests on a small number of rocky islets there. The Department of Conservation manages a total of over 50 reserves in the area.

## History

### Pre-modern era

The sounds were extensively travelled and partly inhabited by Māori groups before the coming of the Europeans, using the sounds as shelter from bad weather and partaking of the rich food sources. Māori were also known to carry their canoes over some stretches of land on portage paths. However, as in most areas of the South Island, populations were smaller than in the North Island.

European history of the area is considered to start with Captain Cook's visit to the sounds in the 1770s, discovering a plant (Cook's scurvy grass) high in vitamin C which helped to cure scurvy amongst his crew. On Motuara Island, Cook also proclaimed British sovereignty over the South Island. Some parts of the sounds also later developed a significant whaling history, and much of the sounds was (thinly) settled by European farmers in the late 19th and early 20th century.

### Ferries and marine farms

The Marlborough Sounds are connected to Cook Strait at the north-east extreme. At this point, the North Island is at its closest to the South Island, and the inter-island road, rail, and passenger ferry service between Picton and Wellington travels through the sounds.

Marine farming, especially of salmon and mussels, is increasingly common, having started in the 1960s. However, the wakes caused by fast catamaran vehicular ferry services to the North Island have allegedly damaged farms and destroyed crab grounds. They were also blamed for stripping the local beaches bare of sand, and damaging landings and other facilities built close to the water's edge. This resulted in a dispute heard in the New Zealand Environment Court in the early 1990s, brought forward by the 'Guardians of the Sounds' group. The court, however, not only refused to restrict the fast ferries but also awarded NZ$300,000 in court costs against the citizen group which had brought the case. This was seen as a strong blow against civic action, and a curtailing of the powers of the Resource Management Act.

However, as damage increasingly became visible, and protests continued, the fast ferries (which only operated for the summer season) were eventually restricted to a lower speed of 18 knots in the sounds (officially for safety reasons), reducing their time advantage over the conventional ferries. They have since been discontinued.

In July/August 2007, the 'Guardians of the Sounds' environmentalist group planned a 100-ship flotilla protest against scallop dredging in the sounds, which they consider damages the ecosystem of the sounds similar to bottom trawling in the open sea. The protest was intended to call attention to what they allege is the Ministry of Fisheries ignoring the detrimental effect of the practice. Commercial scallops harvesting companies have warned that protests could endanger lives if the protesters engaged in dangerous manoeuvres, while the Ministry of Fisheries has also noted that only 6% of the sounds are set aside for the dredging, though this had been much more extensive in the past.

## Dangerous waters

The main channels of the Marlborough Sounds have calm water and are popular for sailing. Cook Strait, however, is infamous for its strong currents and rough waters, especially when the wind is from the south or north. Because of this, some of the narrow channels closer to the Strait are dangerous to navigate. Notable amongst these is French Pass at the southern end of D'Urville Island, which has several vortices.

The most notable shipwreck in the sounds is that of the Russian cruise liner MS *Mikhail Lermontov*, which sank in 1986 in Port Gore, close to the mouth of Queen Charlotte Sound, after colliding with rocks. One crew member was killed in the disaster. The ship herself is now a popular dive wreck.

title: Parotidectomy

abstract: A parotidectomy is the surgical excision (removal) of the parotid gland, the major and largest of the salivary glands. The procedure is most typically performed due to neoplasms (tumors), which are growths of rapidly and abnormally dividing cells. Neoplasms can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The majority of parotid gland tumors are benign, however 20% of parotid tumors are found to be malignant. Parotidectomy is performed mostly by oral and maxillofacial surgeon and ENT surgeon.

# Parotidectomy

A **parotidectomy** is the surgical excision (removal) of the parotid gland, the major and largest of the salivary glands. The procedure is most typically performed due to neoplasms (tumors), which are growths of rapidly and abnormally dividing cells. Neoplasms can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The majority of parotid gland tumors are benign, however 20% of parotid tumors are found to be malignant. Parotidectomy is performed mostly by oral and maxillofacial surgeon and ENT surgeon.

## Anatomy

There are two parotid glands in the human body. Each parotid gland is located high in the neck just below the ears. A salivary duct by which saliva is secreted (produced and released), runs through the inside of each cheek from each gland. Furthermore, the extratemporal (outside temporal bone) facial nerve and its subsidiaries run through the parotid gland and innervate (supply nerves to) the face. This nerve articulates the muscles for facial expression as well as more specific muscles such as the postauricular muscles, the posterior (back or end) belly of the digastric muscle, and the stylohyoid muscles.

## Diagnosis

Painless, noticeably felt growths are the most common presentations described in medical literature. Benign parotid gland neoplasms typically present after the age of 40 and have an equal presentation in both genders. Malignant growths predominantly affect women over the age of 60. The most common form of benign parotid neoplasms are pleomorphic adenomas and Warthin's tumor. The most common form of malignant parotid neoplasms are mucoepidermoid carcinomas. The exact cause of malignant parotid tumors is still unknown, however they can be caused by metastasis (spread of cancer) from other areas of the body, certain work exposures, reduced immunity, HIV, as well as radiation exposure. Contrary to other cancers, it is believed that smoking and drinking do not influence salivary gland malignancies. Inflammation ailments of the parotid gland, such as parotid abscesses (collections of pus), deep salivary calculi (mineral deposits), and chronic parotitis (long-term inflammation) may necessitate a total parotidectomy. Also, sialorrhea (excessive salivation) may be remedied by a parotidectomy, yet treatment by medication or even duct ligation (surgical tying) are the less invasive approaches.

## Treatment/Procedure

Many different approaches are possible and variation naturally depends on the type of case. A parotidectomy is an inpatient (i.e. within a hospital) procedure versus an outpatient (clinic or out of hospital) procedure.

### Types

Throughout history, many different types and techniques have been developed in order to complete a parotidectomy and consequently, many different names have been associated with each type. However, there are really only two main distinctions to be made in parotidectomies:

1. The specific nerve(s) to be dissected or not dissected
2. The amount of gland excised

It is important to note that the specific surgery chosen is based on preservation of the facial nerve in order to avoid significant morbidities (diseases). Furthermore, there are still many controversies regarding the choice of surgery and incidence of cancer recurrence. Below indicates the various and main techniques typically associated with a parotidectomy:

* **Extracapsular dissection** \- excision of the parotid tumor surrounded by some millimetres of healthy tissue, without searching and exposing the main truck of the facial nerve.
* **superficial** (near surface) or **lateral** (side) **parotidectomy** \- excising all the parts of the gland superficial or lateral to the facial nerve.

–partial superficial parotidectomy - superficial parotidectomy where the surgeon excises only the portion of the gland surrounding the neoplasm. Only some nerves of the face are dissected during this procedure. –formal superficial parotidectomy - superficial parotidectomy where the cervicofacial and temporofacial nerves are dissected. * **total parotidectomy** \- total removal of the deep part of the parotid gland. Typically performed if neoplasm is affecting deep part of parotid gland. Surgeon tries to remove the gland apart from the facial nerve, yet dissecting all branches of the facial nerves. This method can be done using the transcervical surgical approach.

–transcervical approach - less invasive procedure that involves cutting only a small incision in the neck. * **radical parotidectomy** \- Typically performed if malignant neoplasm is impinging on facial nerve. Facial nerve excised in addition to parotid gland.

### Pre-Operation

Many measures before a parotidectomy may be instituted before surgery. Some of these include diagnostic imaging, fine-needle aspiration, neck dissection, and antibiotic prophylaxis (treatment to prevent).

–conducted to help the surgeon locate the tumor and address complications (i.e. the extent of the neoplasm and its resulting excision). * **Fine-needle aspiration** \- technique in helping the surgeon to physically diagnose the malignancy of the tumor
* **Neck dissection** \- only considered in the most extreme of cases before a parotidectomy.

### Procedure

General anaesthetic is given and the patient is put to sleep. In the most general of surgeries, incisions (cuts or slices) are made near the crease of the ear or posttragally (behind the tragus), as in a facelift, and continued behind the ear. The surgeon takes consideration to not distort the anatomy of the ear. A flap is made on the surface of the parotid gland to help expose the gland and tissue to be removed. Veins and nerve branches are identified and if necessary, specific nerves are dissected. Facial nerve monitoring has been found to reduce nerve associated morbidities. Dissection of the nerves takes place in order to avoid any stimulation while operating. Once necessary parotid tissue is removed, facial nerves are tested for correct function and reconstruction begins. The procedure usually is performed in two to five hours depending on the patient and surgeon.

### Post-Operation

After completion of a parotidectomy, patients can expect postoperative hospitalization ranging from one-to-three days, to help ensure the safest and most effective postoperative management. At this time, patients will be administered antibiotics to minimize risk of infection as well as an assessment of pain management throughout their stay. Duration of hospitalization is subject to change from patient to patient, with most patients being discharged within 24 hours after surgery. If a tumor was malignant, many patients are referred to radiation therapy. For benign tumors and slow growing cancers, surgery typically provides a complete cure or remission (no evidence for disease).

## Patient Care after Discharge

Patients are typically discharged from the hospital with sutures (stitches) at the incision site, and a small drain tube placed behind the ear. The tube is connected to a plastic bulb, which collects blood, serum, and saliva from the wound. Sutures are typically removed between the fourth and sixth day post-surgery. After suture removal, the patient is typically seen in the clinic two-four weeks until healing is complete. If a biopsy is taken, pathology results typically may be reviewed in three-five business days in the clinic. Long-term follow-up will be determined based on the results of the pathology. Most patients with benign tumors are followed every three-six months for two years and yearly thereafter. Patients with malignant tumors may be followed every two-three months for two years, and then every six months for five years after procedure. Not every patient heals in exactly the same way, which is why dates of removal for the drain or sutures are based upon each specific patient and case. Should the patient have difficulty smiling, winking, or consuming fluids, the physician should be contacted immediately, as these are common signs of facial nerve damage. Mild facial numbness and weakness are normal immediately after a parotidectomy, with symptoms usually subsiding within a few months. Most patients regain full facial function within one year of the procedure.

## Complications

Complications that may occur due to parotidectomy involve nerve dysfunction, Frey’s syndrome (uncharacteristic sweating near glands), salivation from wound, numbness, facial asymmetry, necrosis (death of skin) near incision, and tumor reappearance.

## Prognosis

There is a 25-50% risk of facial weakness directly after parotidectomy and a 1-2% risk of permanent weakness. Frey’s syndrome may occur in up to 90% of patients. Risk of mortality is very low in reference to the surgery. In a case of benign tumor, such as pleomorphic adenoma, a significant outcome is also the rate of tumor recurrence. Pleomorphic adenomas may recur after a very long time from primary surgery, on average over 7–10 years and up to 24 years.

Survival rates due to malignancy depends on the patient and extent of disease. A 10-year survival ranges from 32-83%. Of all cancers, salivary gland tumors account for only 1%. Parotid tumors account for 7% of all head and neck cancers.

## Etymology

The root of the word parotidectomy, parotid, refers to the parotid gland meaning “situated near the ear” from the Greek para- “beside” and ous “the ear.” The suffix -ectomy is also derived from Greek which means literally “to cut out.”

It was part of medieval fragmented Poland, before it was conquered by the Teutonic Knights in 1308. It was located on a day's journey from Gdańsk on the Hanseatic post road to Königsberg. A coaching inn and stud farm were founded in 1432 to provide refreshment and fresh horses for the coaches, and the settlement developed into a village.

In 1454, Polish King Casimir IV Jagiellon signed the act of reincorporation of the region to the Kingdom of Poland, and as a result the Thirteen Years' War broke out. It ended in a Polish victory in 1466, when the Teutonic Knights renounced any claims to the region, and recognized it as part of Poland. Afterwards, the village was a possession of the city of Gdańsk, administratively located in the Pomeranian Voivodeship in the province of Royal Prussia in the larger Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. At that time an estate and manor were founded in Sztutowo, and an agrarian settlement developed nearby. It is recorded that Tsar Peter the Great of Russia stayed in Sztutowo in 1716. The village was annexed by King Frederick the Great of Prussia in 1772 during the First Partition of Poland. A later lessee of the manor was the father of the German pessimist philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, who spent the first five years of his life there (born 1788 in Gdańsk).

As Stutthof, the village became part of the German Empire upon the Prussian-led unification of Germany in 1871. After the defeat of Imperial Germany in World War I, the village became part of the territory of the Free City of Danzig in accordance with the terms of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles.

### World War II

At the beginning of World War II in 1939, the Nazis built the Stutthof concentration camp nearby, which received its first prisoners on 2 September that year. The village was annexed to Nazi Germany. The camp eventually developed into a huge complex with branches throughout northern Poland by the time it was liberated in May 1945 by the Red Army. More than 110,000 persons of twenty-five nationalities from nineteen countries were imprisoned, and it is estimated that more than 85,000 of them perished here. After the war, the village was reintegrated with Poland. The site of the former Stutthof camp, located to the west of the current village, is now a Polish national museum.

## Economy

Sztutowo is an agricultural, fishing, and tourist center, with numerous guest houses, spas, campgrounds, and recreational facilities. It has numerous seaside activities and a close proximity to a Polish national nature preserve and bird sanctuary.

## Sports

Hemako Sztutowo professional beach soccer team is based in Sztutowo.

# Parotid plexus

The **parotid plexus** or **plexus parotideus** is the branch point of the facial nerve (extratemporal) after it leaves the stylomastoid foramen. This division takes place within the parotid gland.

## Branches

Commonly, it divides into the following branches (several variations):

1. The temporal branches, cross the zygomatic arch to the temporal region.
2. The zygomatic branches, cross the zygomatic bone to the orbit.
3. The buccal branches, pass forward to below the orbit and around the mouth.
4. The marginal mandibular branch passes forward to the lower lip and chin.
5. The cervical branch runs forward forming a series of arches over the suprahyoid region to the platysma muscle.

title: OneAsia Tour

abstract: The OneAsia Tour was a men's professional golf tour based in the Asia-Pacific region. The tour was founded in 2009 as a joint venture between the PGA Tour of Australasia, the China Golf Association, the Korean Golf Association and the Korean PGA. The Japan Golf Tour was invited to participate in the project in 2012 and had co-sanctioned the Indonesia Open, Indonesia PGA Championship and Thailand Open. The OneAsia Tour was seen as a rival to the longer established Asian Tour, with which it had poor relations. From 2010 to 2017, tournaments on the OneAsia Tour were awarded Official World Golf Ranking points. Having had a ten tournament schedule in each of its first few seasons, the tour's fortunes began to decline. Being reliant on co-sanctioning arrangements to fill out the calendar; only one event was not co-sanctioned in 2013 and 2014. Tour members were afforded a limited number of places in the tournaments. In 2015, there were just seven tournaments, all co-sanctioned with other tours. In 2016, there were just four, and one fewer in 2017. Early in 2018, having not hosted a sole-sanctioned event for three years, the tour lost its right to offer world ranking points. Early 2018 saw an extensive restructuring of the organisation with a new management team put in place in an attempt to revive the tour. A Qualifying school was organised, but due to the lack of status of the tour, having lost world ranking points and without any calendar of tournaments, there were less than 20 entrants. To start the new season OneAsia co-sanctioned the Solaire Philippine Open and had plans for a further four tournaments in 2018, but these were not played. One tournament was scheduled for 2019, but ultimately no tournaments were played.

## Formation

In January 2009, it was announced that there would be a new series of events across the Asia-Pacific region, to be organised by the PGA of Australia in co-operation with China Golf Association, the Japan Golf Tour, the Korean Golf Association and the Korean PGA. The aim of these events would be to raise the profile of professional golf in the region and to compete with the likes of the European Tour. The series would initially comprise six events, three in China, two in Australia and one in South Korea, with plans to expand in later years.

The introduction of the OneAsia Tour was not welcomed by the Asian Tour. All of the six events announced for 2009 were existing tournaments, including some already sanctioned by the Asian Tour. One of them, the Pine Valley Beijing Open, was called off a few weeks before it was due to be held. The organisers officially attributed this decision to the state of the course and a clash of dates with The Players Championship on the PGA Tour, but some media commentators dismissed these reasons since the tournament had clashed with the Players Championship the previous year as well and instead attributed the cancellation to sponsor discontent with the sanctioning changes.

Following a meeting with the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) at The Open Championship in July 2009, all OneAsia Tour events were awarded OWGR points. In May 2018, the OWGR revoked the Tour's world ranking eligibility.

# Liriope spicata

***Liriope spicata*** is a species of low, herbaceous flowering plant from East Asia. Common names include **creeping lilyturf**, **creeping liriope**, **lilyturf**, and **monkey grass**. This perennial has grass-like evergreen foliage and is commonly used in landscaping in temperate climates as groundcover. Creeping lilyturf has white to lavender flowers which produce single-seeded berries on a spike in the fall. It is one of the most popular groundcovers in the southeastern United States and areas with a similar climate.

## Distribution and habitat

Creeping lilyturf is a native understory plant in China and Vietnam occurring in forests and grassy slopes at elevations of sea level to 5,900 feet (1,800 meters).

## Characteristics

Creeping lilyturf is a rhizomatous, grass-like perennial which forms clusters of narrow, arching, glossy, dark green leaves (to 14 inch (0.64 cm) wide) typically growing 9 to 15 inches (23 to 38 centimetres) high. Erect flower spikes with small, white to pale lavender flowers arise, somewhat hidden, among the leaves in late summer. Blackish berries develop in fall and often persist through winter. Roots have prominent rhizomes and frequent tubers. A cultivar exists with variegated leaves.

Creeping lilyturf looks very similar to another common species in the genus—lilyturf (*Liriope muscari*). Creeping lilyturf can be distinguished by its rhizomatous root system (in contrast to the diffused root system of lilyturf), its less prominent flower spike being partially within leaves (lilyturf has a longer spike extending well above leaves), and its generally narrower and shorter leaves when compared those of lilyturf.

## Cultivation

Creeping lilyturf is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Moist, fertile soils with partial shade are ideal, but it also tolerates wide range of light and soil conditions. Creeping lilyturf also tolerates heat, humidity, and drought. The evergreen foliage often turns brown in late winter; old foliage can be cut back or mowed at a high setting before new shoots appear early spring. Creeping lilyturf is suitable for USDA zones 4 to 10.

## Propagation

Germination characteristics of the seeds of creeping lilyturf are probably similar to those of *Liriope muscari*, which have been investigated more thoroughly; its germination guidelines should be followed.

Creeping lilyturf is easily reproduced by dividing the root mass and rhizomes. The optimum time to do this is during the dormant season before onset of new growth. Plants produced by division are identical to the mother plant, and thus, cultivar traits are retained.

## Uses

Creeping lilyturf is mainly used in mass plantings as a groundcover. Its tendency of aggressive spreading makes it generally unsuitable as a border plant. The species has been observed to establish rhizomes beneath concrete borders. Creeping lilyturf is an excellent plant to establish on steep slopes where erosion control is needed. Minimal maintenance is required.

*Liriope spicata* is used as a substitute for mondo grass (*Ophiopogon japonicus*) in Chinese medicine as an herb for yin deficiency.

## Air quality

According to NASA Clean Air Study, *Liriope spicata* filters formaldehyde, ammonia, xylene and toluene from the air.

## Problems

No serious diseases or pests occur for creeping lilyturf. Root rot (*Pythium*) has been reported. Anthracnose fungus sometimes causes reddish steaks in the leaves. Scale insects have been reported to cause unsightly reddish spots on leaves during late summer. Slugs and snails are occasional pests.

Some people feel that creeping lilyturf has been overused as a landscaping plant and that suitable native plants can be used in its place. Lilyturf is reported to have little wildlife value.

Like most other non-grass groundcovers, creeping lilyturf does not hold up to traffic well.

Regarding Mixe–Zoquean, he has done comparative work resulting in the currently most accepted classification of the Mixe–Zoquean language family as well as a reconstruction of its vocabulary and grammar (Wichmann 1995). He also specializes in the study of Maya hieroglyphs — particularly the linguistic aspects of the deciphering of the Mayan script. Since 2007, Wichmann's work has increasingly focused on the development of quantitative methods in historical linguistics, including the development of the Automated Similarity Judgment Program.

Since its inception in 2011, Wichmann has been General Editor of *Language Dynamics and Change*.

title: Omega Lupi

abstract: Omega Lupi, Latinised from ω Lupi, is a double star in the southern constellation of Lupus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.33, showing up as a red-hued star just to the south of Gamma Lupi. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 8.97 mas as seen from Earth, it is located around 360 light-years from the Sun. As of 2007, the components of this system had an angular separation of 11.4 arcseconds along a position angle of 29°, and are most likely gravitationally bound as a wide binary star system. The primary component is a magnitude 4.48 evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K4.5 III. The measured angular diameter, after correction for limb darkening, is 3.39±0.04 mas. At the estimated distance of Omega Lupi, this yields a physical size of about 40 times the radius of the Sun. The companion is a magnitude 11.0 star.

title: Pachyballus miniscutulus

abstract: Pachyballus miniscutulus is a species of jumping spider that is native to Ivory Coast and South Africa. It lives in open grassland and in vegetation near to streams. A very small spider, it has a cephalothorax that is ranges from 1 to 1.3 mm long and an abdomen that is between 1.7 and 1.9 mm long. The spider is generally dark brown on top. The bottom of its cephalothorax is yellowish-brown and its abdomen is grey-brown and has a distinctive scutum. This scutum is referenced in the species name, which is derived from the Latin words that mean "small shield". The spider has a dark brown clypeus and yellowish-brown spinnerets. Apart from the scutum, the spider can be identified by its copulatory organs. The male has a palpal bulb that has bulges that extend below its cymbium and the female has a heart-shaped epigyne that contains a spade-like or circular section and longer insemination ducts than Pachyballus mombasensis. A member of the genus Pachyballus, the species was first described in 2020 by Wanda Wesołowska, Galina Azarkina and Konrad Wiśniewski.

***Pachyballus miniscutulus*** is a species of jumping spider that is native to Ivory Coast and South Africa. It lives in open grassland and in vegetation near to streams. A very small spider, it has a cephalothorax that is ranges from 1 to 1.3 mm long and an abdomen that is between 1.7 and 1.9 mm long. The spider is generally dark brown on top. The bottom of its cephalothorax is yellowish-brown and its abdomen is grey-brown and has a distinctive scutum. This scutum is referenced in the species name, which is derived from the Latin words that mean "small shield". The spider has a dark brown clypeus and yellowish-brown spinnerets. Apart from the scutum, the spider can be identified by its copulatory organs. The male has a palpal bulb that has bulges that extend below its cymbium and the female has a heart-shaped epigyne that contains a spade-like or circular section and longer insemination ducts than *Pachyballus mombasensis*. A member of the genus *Pachyballus*, the species was first described in 2020 by Wanda Wesołowska, Galina Azarkina and Konrad Wiśniewski.

## Taxonomy and etymology

*Pachyballus miniscutulus* is a species of jumping spider, a member of the family Salticidae, that was first described by the arachnologists Wanda Wesołowska, Galina Azarkina and Konrad Wiśniewski in 2020. It is one of over 500 different species identified by Wesołowska in her career. It has a species name that is made of the two Latin words *mini* and *scutulus*, which can be translated "small" and "shield" respectively. They allocated the spider to the genus *Pachyballus*, first circumscribed in 1900 by Eugène Simon. The holotype was found in 2012 but had been previously been simply recognised as a member of the genus without any further comment and it was only when Wesołowska, Azarkina and Wiśniewski undertook a thorough revision of the genus that it was full described.

When he first established the genus *Pachyballus*, Eugène Simon assigned it to the Balleae group alongside the related genus *Peplometus*. In 2004, Suresh Benjamin tentatively included in the genus, along with *Ballus*, in the subfamily Ballinae, and, in 2015, Wayne Maddison listed the genus within the tribe Ballini, derived from Simon's original name but attributed to an earlier author, Nathan Banks from 1892. Phylogenetic analysis undertaken by Maddison and Marshall Hedin showed that the genus is closely related to *Mantisatta*, despite the large physiological differences between them. In 2016, Jerzy Prószyński added the genus to a group of genera termed Ballines, which contains many of the same genera, including *Ballus*, *Peplometus* and *Planiemen*. It is likely that the ballines diverged from the wider clade Marpissoida between 20 and 25 million years ago, although Daniela Andriamalala estimated the family to be 3.99 million years old.

## Description

*Pachyballus miniscutulus* is a wide-bodied spider that resembles a beetle. It is very small and can be overlooked or misidentified as immature spiders. The spider's body is divided into two main parts: a round cephalothorax and a larger, wider, and heart-shaped abdomen. The male has a cephalothorax that typically measures 1.3 mm (0.051 in) in length and 1.25 mm (0.049 in) in width. The carapace, the hard upper part of the cephalothorax, is dark brown with black rings around the spider's eyes. The sternum, the underside of the cephalothorax, is yellowish-brown. The main parts of its mouthparts, including its labium and maxillae, are also yellowish-brown; however, the spider's chelicerae are dark brown. Its clypeus and cheeks are also dark brown, but they also have a covering of sparse white hairs.

The spider's abdomen is larger than the cephalothorax, measuring around 1.7 mm (0.07 in) in length and width. It is dark brown on top and brownish-grey underneath. There is also a small noticeable scutum on the underside that typically covers a fifth of the total length of the abdomen. This small scutum is the source of the spider's name. The spider has yellow book lung covers and yellowish-brown spinnerets. The spider's first pair of legs are brown with yellow sections while the remainder are a uniform lighter brown. All have brown leg hairs.

*Pachyballus miniscutulus* has distinctive copulatory organs. It has brown pedipalps with yellow tips. The cymbium is semi-cylindrical in shape and has a noticeable notch near the top on the inside. Beneath this, it is attached to the palpal bulb, which is very bulbous and extends below the cymbium. The bulb has a long embolus extending from its top that wraps around the bulb in a wide coil and projects from this out to the side. The palpal tibia has a single small curved spike, or tibial apophysis, projecting upwards.

The female has a smaller cephalothorax than the male, measuring between 1 and 1.1 mm (0.039 and 0.043 in) in length and between 1.1 and 1.2 mm (0.047 in) in width, while its abdomen is larger, between 1.8 and 1.9 mm (0.071 and 0.075 in) in length and 1.5 mm (0.059 in) and 1.8 mm in width. It is similar externally to the male, apart from its yellow legs and pedipalps. As with the male, it has distinctive copulatory organs. The female spider's epigyne, or externally visible copulatory organ, is heart-shaped and has a semi-circular depression that contains a spade-like or circular section. The two copulatory openings lead to insemination ducts that wind their way to relatively small receptacles, or spermathecae.

The species is distinguished from others in the genus by the small scutum at the base of its abdomen. This is also proportionately wider than related spiders, two or three times more, and equal to the distance between the spinnerets. It can also be identified by its copulatory organs. Although externally the female is similar to *Pachyballus mombasensis*, particularly the shape of its epigyne, its insemination ducts are longer.

## Distribution and habitat

*Pachyballus* spiders generally live in Africa and have been found in Yemen. *Pachyballus miniscutulus* lives in Ivory Coast and South Africa. It is one of four species of *Pachyballus* spiders identified at the same time living in South Africa. The holotype was found in the Free State National Botanical Garden in 2012. Other examples have been found in the area and also in Ithala Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal. The first example to be seen in Ivory Coast was found in 1976 but was not identified until 2022. The spider lives in vegetation near to streams and in open grassland. Specimens have been found in the plant litter under *Searsia lancea* and at the base of grassy tussocks.

# Marlow F.C.

**Marlow Football Club** is a football club based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, England. They are currently members of the Southern League Premier Division South and play at the Alfred Davis Memorial Ground. Marlow are the only football club in England to have applied for entry into the FA Cup every season since its inception in 1871.

## History

The club was formed at a meeting at the Compleat Angler Hotel on 22 November 1870. In 1871–72 they competed in the first-ever FA Cup, losing 2–0 to Maidenhead in the first round; one of their players was Cuthbert Ottoway, who went on to captain England in their match against Scotland the following year, the first-ever recognised football international. In 1881–82 the club reached the FA Cup semi-finals, losing 5–0 to Old Etonians. During the 1890s the club was also known as Great Marlow. They joined the Western Section of the Spartan League in 1908. However, the club resigned midway through the 1910–11 season.

Marlow joined the Great Western Suburban League for the 1911–12 season. They finished bottom of the league in 1912–13 following a points deduction, and again in 1922–23. In 1924 they left the league, dropping into the Reading & District League. After moving to the Alfred Davis Memorial Ground in 1928, the club joined Division Two West of the Spartan League. They won the division in 1929–30, earning promotion to Division One. In 1937–38 the club were Division One champions and were promoted to the Premier Division. During World War II the club played in the Great Western Combination. After the war they were placed in the Western Division of the Spartan League for the 1945–46 season, but did not finish high enough to earn a place in the Premier Division the following season.

In 1951 Marlow returned to the Spartan League's Premier Division, where they remained until joining Division Two of the Athenian League in 1965. The club were promoted to Division One after finishing third in the division in 1970–71. When the Athenian League was disbanded in 1984, they joined Division Two North of the Isthmian League. The club were transferred to Division Two South the following season, and in 1986–87 they finished second and were promoted to Division One. The following season saw them win the Division One title, earning promotion to the Premier Division. In 1991–92 the club reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first time since 1892, but lost 6–0 to West Bromwich Albion.

The following season saw Marlow reach the third round of the FA Cup after beating Salisbury and VS Rugby in the first two rounds. They were drawn at home to Tottenham, but the match was switched to White Hart Lane, where they lost 5–1. Two seasons later they reached the third round again, defeating Oxford United in the first round, before losing 2–0 at Swindon Town in the third. The club remained in the Isthmian League's Premier Division until being relegated at the end of the 1994–95 season. Two seasons later they were relegated again. In 2004 they were transferred to Division One West of the Southern League, and were later transferred to Division One Central. In 2011–12 the club finished bottom of Division One Central of the Southern League and were relegated to the Premier Division of the Hellenic League.

Marlow won the Hellenic League Premier Division at the first attempt, earning promotion back to Division One Central of the Southern League. They were subsequently transferred to Division One South & West for the 2015–16 season, before returning to Division One Central the following year. In 2016–17 the club finished fourth in Division One Central, qualifying for the promotion play-offs, going on to lose 2–0 to Barton Rovers in the semi-finals. At the end of the 2017–18 season the club were transferred to the South Central Division of the Isthmian League. In 2023–24 they were runners-up in the South Central Division, before beating Westfield 3–2 the play-off semi-finals and then winning the final against Leatherhead 3–1 to earn promotion to the Premier Division South of the Southern League.

## Ground

The club played at Aldermeadow until 1898, when they moved to Crown Meadow, now known as the Riley Recreational Ground. They were forced to relocate to Star Meadow in 1919; the ground was unenclosed and the club had to eventually drop into the Reading & District League. In 1928 they moved to the Alfred Davis Memorial Ground, named after their long-serving secretary who had died in 1924. A wooden grandstand was built on one side of the pitch in 1930, with a covered area erected on the Green Verges side in 1950. The Green Verges stand was replaced during the 1990s. Terracing was installed on all four sides in 1985, and another covered stand was built at the Trinity End in 1991.

In December 2018, YouTube used Hevesh's video "A Merry Domino Christmas" on their Twitter account without giving Hevesh credit. After Hevesh tweeted criticism of YouTube for co-opting her video for promotional purposes without crediting her, YouTube publicly apologized and tweeted credit for the video.

Hevesh worked with Endemol Shine North America to create a competitive reality show around building domino effect chains tentatively called *Domino Effect*, in the same vein as Endemol's *Lego Masters*, announced in August 2020. In March 2021, RTL 4 Netherlands and France's M6 ordered local versions of the domino competition format created by Hevesh and Endemol.

### Domino set

In 2020, Hevesh and Spin Master launched H5 Domino Creations at the North American International Toy Fair in New York City. The set comes with 100 improved dominoes which Hevesh described as being "specially made for toppling".

### Domino art

She was approached by Campbell Soup Company in 2013 to create a commercial for them. Since 2014, Hevesh's domino art has been featured at the annual Brattleboro Museum and Art Center Domino Toppling Extravaganza.

She has since created ads for companies—such as Prudential Financial, Ford Motors, and Honda— and films such as *The Hunger Games: Catching Fire* and *Despicable Me*. She was part of the team commissioned to set up dominoes for a scene in *Collateral Beauty*. In 2017, Hevesh was hired by Marvel to create a Spider-Man-inspired domino art piece.

## *Lily Topples the World*

In 2021, a documentary about Hevesh titled *Lily Topples the World* premiered at the virtual South by Southwest, where it won the Grand Jury Prize in the Documentary Feature Film Competition. Soon after, the film won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2021 San Francisco International Film Festival. It was directed by Jeremy Workman. *Lily Topples The World* was produced by Robert Lyons and executive produced by actress Kelly Marie Tran in her first producing role.

## Awards

Hevesh was listed on the 2020 Forbes 30 Under 30 list in the category "Art & Style". She was one of the United States Junior Chamber's Ten Outstanding Young Americans in 2022.
