# Vitex lignum-vitae

***Vitex lignum-vitae***, known in Australia as **yellow hollywood** or **"lignum-vitae"** (also used for other species), is a rainforest tree of eastern Australia. The natural range of distribution is in dry, sub-tropical or tropical rainforest from the Richmond River, New South Wales to Cape York Peninsula at the northernmost tip of Australia. It also occurs in New Guinea. *Lignum vitae* is Latin for "wood of life".

## Description

*Vitex lignum-vitae* is a small to medium tree growing to a height of 30 metres (98.4 ft) and a trunk diameter of 90 cm (2.95 ft). The trunk is creamy or brown, with horizontal lines and fissures. Its bark sheds in small flakes. Flanged or buttressed at the base of larger trees, the bole is irregular in shape.

Juvenile and coppice leaves are lobed or angled. Mature leaves opposite, simple, shiny and not toothed. The leaves are 5 to 13 cm long, and often broader towards the tip. The leaf stalks are 15 to 25 mm long, hairy and channeled on the upper side. Net veins are visible on the leaf's underside. Small foveolae (raised hairy bumps) appear at the junction of the midrib and larger lateral veins. Branchlets grey and hairy, somewhat four angled in cross section.

Pale purple flowers form on cymes at various times of the year, most often around the month of April. The fruit is a red drupe, 8 to 12 mm in diameter with a round hard capsule inside. The capsule has four cells, each containing a fertile or infertile seed. The fruit ripens in the months of November to April, and is eaten by birds including the green catbird and rose crowned fruit dove.

Regeneration from seed is remarkably slow and difficult. The fleshy aril should be removed from the fruit capsule. Old fruit is preferred. Roots and shoots may appear after two or more years.

# Telus Sky

**Telus Sky**, (also stylized as **TELUS Sky**) is a 60-storey, 222.3 m (729 ft) mixed-use skyscraper in downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada. At completion in 2019, the structure building became the third-tallest building in Calgary behind Brookfield Place East and The Bow. As of July 2020, Telus Sky is the 18th tallest building in Canada, though several buildings in Toronto exceeding its height are under construction including The One.

Telus Sky incorporates 70,721 m2 (761,230 sq ft) of mixed-use area available. There is a total of 39,181 m2 (421,740 sq ft) of office space within the structure, of which 12,033 m2 (129,520 sq ft) is leased by the named-tenant Telus Communications, Canadian telecommunications company that is a subsidiary of Telus Corporation.

## History

On July 4, 2013, the Telus Corporation announced the development of the $400-million ($511-million in 2023) Telus Sky, designed by the architectural firms Bjarke Ingels Group and Dialog, which promised to provide a new architectural landmark to Calgary's Downtown to be completed in 2017. The announcement included plans for a 750,000 sq ft (70,000 m2) mixed-use tower to incorporate office, retail and residential space. Of which there was to be 26 floors totaling 430,000 sq ft (40,000 m2) of office space with Telus reserving 155,000 sq ft (14,400 m2). Telus Sky would also host 341 residential units on the upper 32 floors and 15,000 sq ft (1,400 m2) of retail space, mostly on the second floor connected to the city's Plus 15 pedway system. The design included LEED Platinum status and a number of sustainable design features including a storm water management system, and a 5,500 sq ft (510 m2) public gallery.

The building was designed with a clean rectangular base and bottom floors for efficient open-office layouts, and as the building rises, the floor plates slowly reduce in size and pixilate creating small balconies and terraces.

Prior the construction of Telus Sky, the corner of 7 Avenue & Centre St SW was home to a three-storey building constructed in 1928 and hosted Art Central, a place where local artists could create and showcase their talent in small galleries and studios. The building was demolished in November 2014.

Construction on Telus Sky started in February 2015. Due to the small footprint of the site, there was not enough room for traditional excavators or ramps to facilitate digging the base, instead a hydraulic crane using a clam-shell bucket was used to excavate the 80,000 m3 (100,000 cu yd) of dirt to a depth of up to 31 m (102 ft) to create the base of the building.

Construction of the Telus Sky continued past the original completion date of 2017, with delays causing construction to continue into 2019. The first commercial tenants were scheduled to move in July 2019 and the residential rental suites received bookings for September 2019.

## Public Art

Telus Sky's northern and southern facades are clad in a dynamic LED display dubbed "Northern Lights", designed by Canadian artist Douglas Coupland, which is one of the largest public art fixtures in Canada.

The LED light strips that make up the art piece are equipped with an infinite number of colour shades and combinations. The Northern Lights display will go through five 12-minute sequences per hour. With the starting sequence always being a mimic of the world famous aurora borealis, and the remaining four sequences to be interchangeable. The public art features an interactive smartphone app that will give users information about what inspired the current pattern at any given sequence, and will be online from sunrise to sunset, 365 days a year. The Northern Lights display was first previewed on April 19, 2019.

## Building details

The developers of Telus Sky are striving to achieve LEED Platinum certification for the office, retail, and art spaces of the building, with the residential levels being targeted for LEED Gold. This will make Telus Sky the most environmentally sustainable building in Canada over 200 meters in height.

* Square footage of:
    + The entire building: 761,235 square feet (70,721 m2)
    + The office space: 421,738 square feet (39,181 m2) on 29 floors
    + The residential space: 319,451 square feet (29,678 m2) on floors 30-58
    + The retail space: 21,046 square feet (1,955 m2) located mainly on the ground level
    + Total leased space: 129,525 square feet (12,033 m2)
    + Art space: 5,500 square feet (511 m2)
    + Number of storeys: 60
    + Listing Agency: Colliers International

### Tenants

Following the collapse in oil prices in 2015, the Calgary real-estate market began to suffer from growing vacant downtown office space, which Telus Sky has not been immune. As of April 2020, Telus Sky has an occupancy level of 60%, which is split among five commercial tenants, of which the Telus Corporation represents 140,000 square feet (13,006 m2) or 33% of the occupancy.

Tenants include:

* The Telus Corporation - 140,000 square feet (13,006 m2)
* Absorb Software - 80,000 square feet (7,432 m2)

abstract: Eugène Rouher was a French statesman of the Second Empire. He was born at Riom (Puy-de-Dôme), where he practised law after taking his degree in Paris in 1835. In 1846 he sought election to the Chamber of Deputies as an official candidate of the Guizot ministry. It was only after the Revolution of 1848, however, that he became deputy for the department of Puy-de-Dôme. Re-elected to the Legislative Chamber in 1849 he succeeded Odilon Barrot as minister of justice, with the additional office of keeper of the seals.

After the coup d'état of 2 December 1851, he was entrusted with the redaction of the new constitution, and on his resignation of office in January became vice-president of the Council of State. After the formal establishment of the Empire, Napoleon III rewarded him with a grant of £40,000 and the estate of Cirey. In 1855 he became minister of agriculture, commerce and public works, and in 1856 senator.

# Patterson power cell

The **Patterson power cell** is a cold fusion device invented by chemist James A. Patterson, which he claimed created 200 times more energy than it used. Patterson claimed the device neutralized radioactivity without emitting any harmful radiation. Cold fusion was the subject of an intense scientific controversy in 1989, before being discredited in the eyes of mainstream science. Physicist Robert L. Park describes the device as fringe science in his book *Voodoo Science*.

## Company formed

In 1995, Clean Energy Technologies Inc. was formed to produce and promote the power cell.

## Claims and observations

Patterson variously said it produced a hundred or two hundred times more power than it used. Representatives promoting the device at the Power-Gen '95 Conference said that an input of 1 watt would generate more than 1,000 watts of excess heat (waste heat). This supposedly happened as hydrogen or deuterium nuclei fuse together to produce heat through a form of low energy nuclear reaction. The by-products of nuclear fusion, e.g. a tritium nucleus and a proton or an 3He nucleus and a neutron, were not detected in any reliable way, leading experts to think that no such fusion was taking place.

It was further claimed that if radioactive isotopes such as uranium were present, the cell enables the hydrogen nuclei to fuse with these isotopes, transforming them into stable elements and thus neutralizing the radioactivity. It was claimed that the transformation would be achieved without releasing any radiation to the environment and without expending any energy. A televised demonstration on June 11, 1997, on *Good Morning America* provided no proof for the claims. As at 2002, the neutralization of radioactive isotopes has only been achieved through intense neutron bombardment in a nuclear reactor or large scale high energy particle accelerator, and at a large expense of energy.

Patterson has carefully distanced himself from the work of Fleischmann and Pons and from the label of "cold fusion", due to the negative connotations associated to them since 1989. Ultimately, this effort was unsuccessful, and not only did it inherit the label of pathological science, but it managed to make cold fusion look a little more pathological in the public eye. Some cold fusion proponents view the cell as a confirmation of their work, while critics see it as "the fringe of the fringe of cold fusion research", since it attempts to commercialize cold fusion on top of making bad science.

In 2002, John R. Huizenga, professor of nuclear chemistry at the University of Rochester, who was head of a government panel convened in 1989 to investigate the cold fusion claims of Fleischmann and Pons, and who wrote a book about the controversy, said "I would be willing to bet there's nothing to it", when asked about the Patterson Power Cell.

## Replications

George H. Miley is a professor of nuclear engineering and a cold fusion researcher who claims to have replicated the Patterson power cell. During the 2011 World Green Energy Symposium, Miley stated that his device continuously produces several hundred watts of power. Earlier results by Miley have not convinced researchers.

On *Good Morning America*, Quintin Bowles, professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Missouri–Kansas City, claimed in 1996 to have successfully replicated the Patterson power cell. In the book *Voodoo Science*, Bowles is quoted as having stated: "It works, we just don't know how it works."

A replication has been attempted at Earthtech, using a CETI supplied kit. They were not able to replicate the excess heat.

## Foreign banks

## Savings banks

The Finnish Savings Banks Group consists of 40 savings banks, each of which operates in its own region and is an independent legal entity. They share a common inheritance and common operating practices. The primary strategy for the banks in the group is to serve clients on a regional basis and thus not compete. The market share of the Finnish Savings Banks is about 8,5% as measured by deposits.

## Co-operative banks

### OP-Pohjola Group

The OP-Pohjola Group is a central corporation of co-operative banks. The member cooperative banks of the OP-Pohjola Group are independent, local deposit banks that are engaged in retail banking. There are 229 member cooperative banks, each operating in a local region.

### Local Cooperative Bank Group

The Finnish Local Cooperative Bank Group consists of 42 independent co-operative banks, each operating in its own region. The group was established in 1997 to enable the member banks to continue operating independently as the other co-operative bank group in Finland was seen as too centrally administered.

# Teodoro A. Dehesa Méndez

**Teodoro A. Dehesa Méndez** (October 1, 1848 – September 25, 1936) was the Governor of the state of Veracruz in Mexico for five terms from 1892 to 1911.

## Early years

Teodoro Dehesa was the son of Teodoro Dehesa y Bayona, an Aragonese pastry chef, and Antonia Méndez y Ruiz de Olivares, member of a wealthy family of Xalapa, Veracruz.

He studied his first letters at *La Amiga*, under supervision of Jacinta, Dolores and Carmen Torres. Later he studied at the *Juan Rodríguez* College. After his family moved to Xalapa, he finished his primary education at *Francisco Ramos* school and then joined *Teodoro Kerlegand's Liceum*.

## Assisting of Diego Rivera

When the artist Diego Rivera was looking for a sponsor to allow him to travel to Europe to further his art career, he approached Dehesa, who agreed to sponsor him. A chapter in Diego Rivera's autobiography, *My Art, My Life*, was dedicated to Dehesa and details how the opposition forces respected Dehesa and so refused to attack the city in which he was staying. Diego Rivera also mentioned his great respect for Dehesa.

## Mexican Revolution

As a result of the Mexican Revolution of 1910, Teodoro Dehesa, his son, and Teodoro's brother, Francisco, were forced to flee Mexico. Teodoro Dehesa moved to Cuba and, at some point, returned to Mexico, where he later died in 1936.

## Legacy

Descendants of Teodoro Dehesa still live in Mexico. It is unknown what happened to Francisco Dehesa, but his wife and children moved to California, where their descendants still live.

# Eugène Rimmel

**Eugène Rimmel** (c. 1820–1887) was a French-born British perfumer and businessman, responsible for manufacturing and marketing some of the earliest commercially made cosmetics, through his company House of Rimmel, (now a division of Coty Inc.).

## Early life and career

Rimmel was born in France, he moved with his family to London when his father accepted an invitation to manage a perfumery on Bond Street.

Rimmel was apprenticed to his father. In 1834, he opened his own perfumery, the House of Rimmel. In the same year father and son produced their first cosmetic products. By the age of 24, Eugène Rimmel had become an immensely talented perfumer and cosmetics innovator. Considered by many beauty historians as a trail-blazer of the beauty and healthcare industries, Rimmel contributed greatly to the concept of hygiene and bathing. He was also among the first to develop scented pomades, mouth rinses and his signature "Toilet Vinegar".

His most innovative invention may well be the first commercial non-toxic mascara, which became so popular that "rimmel" is to this day the word for "mascara" in several languages including French, Italian, Portuguese, Persian, Romanian, Spanish, Turkish and Arabic.

Rimmel was also considered an exceptional marketer and produced detailed mail order catalogues and advertising programmes with English theatres.

## Publication

In 1865, he published *The Book of Perfumes*, which appeared in 1870 in a French translation (*Le Livre des Parfums*) with a preface by Alphonse Karr.

## Later life

Rimmel was so successful that he was granted ten Royal Warrants from heads of state all over Europe, including Queen Victoria, for his perfumes and fragranced products.

With the headline "The Prince of Perfumers", *The New York Times* printed Rimmel's obituary on 15 March 1887. It stated that he was one of the founders of the French Hospital and Dispensary in London, and a constant advocate of its claims to the support of the public.

Rimmel married a woman from Seurre, eastern France, Elisabeth Letroublon with whom he had three children, Jules, Henry and Herminie. The sons assumed control of the beauty company at Rimmel's death in 1887, though they delegated the management of the company, which passed out of Rimmel family hands. After many difficulties Rimmel's cosmetics brand is now owned by Coty Inc.

# Patterson v. Alabama

***Patterson v. Alabama***, 294 U.S. 600 (1935), was a United States Supreme Court case which held that an African-American defendant is denied due process rights if the jury pool excludes African-Americans.

## Background

This case was the second landmark decision arising out of the Scottsboro Boys trials (the first was the 1932 case, *Powell v. Alabama*). Haywood Patterson, along with several other African-American defendants, were tried for raping two white women in 1931 in Scottsboro, Alabama. The trials were rushed, there was virtually no legal counsel, and no African-Americans were permitted in the jury. All defendants, including Patterson, were convicted. The Communist Party of the United States assisted the defendants and appealed to the Supreme Court, which overturned the convictions in 1932 (in the *Powell v. Alabama* decision) due to lack of legal counsel.

A second set of trials was then held in Decatur, Alabama. In spite of lack of evidence, the jury sentenced Patterson to death in the electric chair. Judge James Edwin Horton overturned the verdict, and a third trial was held in 1933. The third trial also resulted in a death penalty verdict. No African Americans were included in any of the juries, nor were any ever considered for jury duty in Alabama. This decision was appealed to the Supreme Court, on the basis that the absence of African Americans from the jury pool denied the defendants due process.

The Supreme Court agreed, and the convictions were overturned.

In 1936, the defendants were tried, some for the fourth time, again for rape. In this trial, the verdicts were again guilty, but sentences were long prison terms rather than the death penalty.

title: Ubii

abstract: The Ubii were a Germanic tribe first encountered dwelling on the east bank of the Rhine in the time of Julius Caesar, who formed an alliance with them in 55 BC in order to launch attacks across the river. They were transported in 39 BC by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa to the west bank, apparently at their own request, as they feared the incursions of their neighbors, the Chatti. A colony for Roman veterans was founded in 50 AD under the patronage of Agrippa's granddaughter, Agrippina the Younger, who had been born at Ara Ubiorum, the capital of the Ubii. The colony derived its title from the names of Agrippina and her husband, the emperor Claudius, and received the name Colonia Claudia Ara Augusta Agrippinensium, which is the origin of the city's modern name, Cologne. Alongside the allotment of land to veterans, the existing town of Ara Ubiorum was elevated to the status of a colonia, which would have conferred many privileges on the inhabitants. The Ubii were also at Bonna (Bonn) of the Eburones. The Ubii remained loyal allies of Rome; they were instrumental in crushing the Batavian rebellion in 70 AD and, although some of them made part of the invasion of Pannonia in 166 AD, they become foederati supporting Roman troops in the Marcomannic Wars in 166–67 AD. They seem to have been so thoroughly Romanized that they adopted the name Agrippinenses in honour of their "founder", and their later history is submerged with other Franks in that of eastern Gaul as a whole.

The Ubii remained loyal allies of Rome; they were instrumental in crushing the Batavian rebellion in 70 AD and, although some of them made part of the invasion of Pannonia in 166 AD, they become *foederati* supporting Roman troops in the Marcomannic Wars in 166–67 AD.

They seem to have been so thoroughly Romanized that they adopted the name *Agrippinenses* in honour of their "founder", and their later history is submerged with other Franks in that of eastern Gaul as a whole.

## Roman interactions

In 55 BC, Julius Caesar was preparing for an invasion of Britain, when several Germanic tribes, including the Ubii, crossed the Rhine river. This movement included the Usipetes and Tencteri tribes, who wished to relocate to avoid contact with the Suevi. Caesar, concerned that fighting might break out in the region and draw troops away from his planned invasion, marched toward the Rhine. He met with ambassadors from the Germanic tribe and offered them land with the Ubii and an alliance against the Suevi; however, Caesar soon became worried that the tribes were delaying until their cavalry could return.

Together with the Batavi, the Ubii furnished soldiers for the Germanic bodyguard, the personal bodyguard of the early Roman emperors.
