title: Pierre Wack

abstract: Pierre Wack (1922–1997) was a French oil executive who was the first to develop the use of scenario planning in the private sector, at Royal Dutch Shell’s London headquarters in the 1970s. So successful was he that the Anglo-Dutch oil giant was able to anticipate not just one Arab-induced oil shock during that decade, but two. His 1985 articles "Scenarios: Uncharted Waters Ahead" and "Scenarios: Shooting the Rapids" are considered among the first to bring the thoughts and theories of futurist Herman Kahn into business strategy. Thanks to his work for de Beers Co in South of Africa, he met Nelson Mandela and participated in the end of apartheid. A biography was written in 2017 about Pierre Wack by Thomas J. Chermack that details his life history as well as the evolution of scenario planning during his time at Shell and beyond. The book also details his work with de Beers and Anglo American Corporation in South Africa as well as his work on scenarios that tackled the end of apartheid.

title: Moretto da Brescia

abstract: Alessandro Bonvicino, more commonly known as Moretto, or in Italian Il Moretto da Brescia, was an Italian Renaissance painter from Brescia, where he also mostly worked. His dated works span the period from 1524 to 1554, but he was already described as a master in 1516. He was mainly a painter of altarpieces that tend towards sedateness, mostly for churches in and around Brescia, but also in Bergamo, Milan, Verona, and Asola; many remain in the churches they were painted for. The majority of these are on canvas, but a considerable number, including some large pieces, are created on wood panels. There are only a few surviving drawings from the artist. He also painted a few portraits, but these are more influential. A full-length Portrait of a Man in the National Gallery, London, dated 1526, seems to be the earliest Italian independent portrait at full length, all the more unexpected as the subject, though clearly a wealthy nobleman, shows no sign of being from a princely ruling family. This format, and the background of an exterior largely closed off by a column the man leans on, was taken up by his main assistant Giovanni Battista Moroni, who painted mainly portraits and was one of the most important portraitists of the mid-16th century. He was a prominent and pious citizen of the small city of Brescia, belonging to at least two of the most prominent confraternities.

# Moretto da Brescia

**Alessandro Bonvicino** (also **Buonvicino**) (c.1498  possibly 22 December 1554), more commonly known as **Moretto**, or in Italian **Il Moretto da Brescia** (the Moor of Brescia), was an Italian Renaissance painter from Brescia, where he also mostly worked. His dated works span the period from 1524 to 1554, but he was already described as a master in 1516. He was mainly a painter of altarpieces that tend towards sedateness, mostly for churches in and around Brescia, but also in Bergamo, Milan, Verona, and Asola; many remain in the churches they were painted for. The majority of these are on canvas, but a considerable number, including some large pieces, are created on wood panels. There are only a few surviving drawings from the artist.

He also painted a few portraits, but these are more influential. A full-length *Portrait of a Man* in the National Gallery, London, dated 1526, seems to be the earliest Italian independent portrait at full length, all the more unexpected as the subject, though clearly a wealthy nobleman, shows no sign of being from a princely ruling family. This format, and the background of an exterior largely closed off by a column the man leans on, was taken up by his main assistant Giovanni Battista Moroni, who painted mainly portraits and was one of the most important portraitists of the mid-16th century.

He was a prominent and pious citizen of the small city of Brescia, belonging to at least two of the most prominent confraternities.

## Biography

He was born at Rovato, in Brescian territory, and studied first under Fioravante Ferramola. Others state he trained with Vincenzo Foppa. His brothers Pietro and Jacopo were also painters. He may have been apprenticed to Titian in Venice and modelled his earlier portrait-painting on the Venetian style. On the other hand, the style also resembles that of Giorgione or late Bellini. He conceived a great enthusiasm for Raphael, though he never travelled to Rome; on the other hand, his classical serenity resembles that shown by Leonardo and his followers in Lombardy such as Bramantino. He may have consulted with his contemporary Girolamo Savoldo. Moretto excelled more in sedate altarpieces than in narrative action, and more in oil painting than in fresco, although he painted fine frescoes depicting the idle daughters of Count Martinengo in one of the palaces near Brescia. In 1521, he worked with Girolamo Romanino in the *Cappella del Sacramento* in the Old Cathedral of Brescia, where Moretto completed a *Last Supper*, *Elijah in the Desert*, and a *Fall of Manna*. He was active during 1522–1524 in Padua.

He painted alongside Lorenzo Lotto at Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo. In Brescia, he completed a *Five Virgin Martyrs* and his masterpiece, the *Assumption of the Madonna* for the church of San Clemente; a *Coronation of the Madonna with four saints* (c.1525) for the church of Santi Nazaro e Celso; and a *St Joseph* for Santa Maria delle Grazie. Another work, with two small children depicted, is his canvas of *St Nicholas of Bari presenting two children to Virgin* (1539) originally painted for the church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli, but now in the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo. He collaborated with Floriano Ferramola in the decoration of the dome of Brescia Cathedral.

In the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna is a *St Justina* (once ascribed to Il Pordenone); in the Staedel Museum, Frankfurt, the *Madonna Enthroned between Sts. Anthony and Sebastian*; in the Berlin Museum, a colossal *Adoration of the Shepherds*, and a large votive picture (one of the master's best) of the *Madonna and Child*, with infant angels and other figures above the clouds, and below, amid a rich landscape, two priests; in the National Gallery, Central London, is a *St Bernardino and Other Saints*. Throughout his career his works display an internal oscillation between the traditions of Venetian painting and the Central Italian schools. Simultaneously he looked at the form and colour of Venetian artists such as Titian and Palma the Elder whilst his classicising, sweet intensity earned him the name "Raphael of Brescia". Though there is some uncertainty regarding his studio, he took on a number of pupils, the most important of whom was the portraitist Giovanni Battista Moroni. He also influenced Callisto Piazza.

Il Moretto was stated to have been a man of great personal piety, preparing himself by prayer and fasting for any great act of sacred art, such as the painting of the Virgin-mother.

## Public collections

Moretto is represented in the following collections: National Gallery, London; Metropolitan Museum, New York; Hermitage, St. Petersburg; Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna; Staedel Museum, Frankfurt; Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice; Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo, Brescia (*Annunciation*); Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, Milan; National Gallery of Art, Washington; Louvre, Paris; Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, amongst others.

The film features an ensemble cast including Kichcha Sudeepa, Prakash Raj, Rachita Ram, Haripriya, Madhoo, Devaraj, Avinash, Sharath Lohitashwa, and Sadhu Kokila. It is an official remake of the 2013 Telugu film *Attarintiki Daredi*.

The music was composed by V. Harikrishna with cinematography by Sudhakar S. Raj and editing by K. M. Prakash. The film released on 4 June 2015 to receive mixed reviews from critics, but it was declared successful at the box office.

## Plot

Sharat Chandra is a rich but unhappy businessman based in Zurich. He wishes to reconcile with his estranged daughter Saraswathi, whom he expelled because she married Prakash against his wishes. His grandson Bhargava Chandra promises Sharat Chandra that he will bring her back to their home on his 75th birthday. Saraswathi has three daughters; two of them are Indira and Rukmini. Bhargava enters the house as Chandu, a driver who was appointed by Prakash after saving him from a heart attack. Bhargava tries to woo Indira but gives up when he learns that she is in love with another man. Rukmini, on the other hand, hates Bhargava and is suspicious of him. Saraswathi later reveals to Bhargava that she is aware of his real identity much before the incidents and warns him to abstain from doing anything with the intention of taking her back to Sharat Chandra.

To save Indira's love, Bhargava and his friend, Nurse Laxmi, go to a village and accidentally, Rukmini falls into the jeep due to a head injury, thus suffering with amnesia. Bhargava introduces himself as her lover for the time being, and she believes it. The trio goes to the venue; Bhargava and Laxmi enter the house. They and the bridegroom escape from there and reach Saraswathi's home after a violent altercation with the family members of the bridegroom where Rukmini's memory is revived. The bride's father Veerappa asks for compensation for the damage caused by Chandu, to which Saraswathi promises Rukmini's marriage with his elder son. To avoid complications, Prakash fires Bhargava. Bhargava later learns that Rukmini loved him from the beginning but was hesitant to express her feelings. He traps Bhaskar, a rich NRI staying in Uganda who has a penchant for women, and enters Saraswathi's home as his assistant.

Bhaskar falls for Rukmini, but his attempts are repeatedly thwarted by Bhargava. On the day of her marriage, Rukmini elopes with Bhargava. While waiting with him for the train to Mumbai, Veerappa's henchmen reach the station to stop them only to be trashed by Bhargava. An angry Prakash, with Saraswathi, arrives to shoot Bhargava, but Prakash is taken aback after knowing his true identity. Bhargava reveals that the day when Saraswathi left the house, Sharat Chandra tried to commit suicide but accidentally killed Bhargava's mother. Bhargava says that he chose to love his grandfather even though he killed his mother. Saraswathi, on the other hand, chose to hate Sharat Chandra as he injured Prakash and expelled them.

Saraswathi and Prakash realize their mistake and reconcile with Bhargava. Rukmini is kidnapped by four henchmen appointed by Bhaskar, where she narrates the story to the henchmen. Bhargava and Laxmi reach the spot, and Rukmini reconciles with Bhargava. Bhaskar's wealth is seized by the government of Uganda and he is left with the same amount with which he ran away from Prakash's house when he assisted him in the past. Sharat Chandra reconciles with Saraswathi, and Bhargava is unanimously appointed as the CEO of the company, thanks to the support of Saraswathi and Sharat Chandra. The film ends with Bhargava holding Sharat Chandra's hand with affection on the dining table.

## Cast

## Production

Rachita Ram was cast for the role portrayed by Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the original, while Haripriya was signed to reprise the role of Pranitha Subhash. Former lead actress Madhoo was selected for a pivotal role in the film, which was originally played by Nadhiya. The team suggested her to watch *Attarintiki Daredi* but Madhoo chose not to, stating that she did not want to be influenced by Nadhiya but wanted to "understand and interpret the role my way". In early October, it was reported that Prakash Raj was also a part of the cast.

Earlier speculated titles for the film were *Rayaru Bandaru Atteya Manege*, *Sanjeeva Sarovara*, *Rayabhaari*, *Bhageeratha* and *Bhargava*. The film was named *Ranna* in September 2014, although the title had been registered by *Psycho* director Devdutta, later the title was purchased for Rs. 5 lakhs.

The first schedule of *Ranna* was completed in Hyderabad. The second schedule of the film began on 16 September 2014. In early October, shooting was held at Rockline Studio. The unit had planned to shoot a song sequence at Hong Kong which later shifted to Italy, owing to the Chinese New Year celebration rush at the former place. The movie was released on 4 June and received commercial and critical acclaim for Sudeepa's performance.

title: Methohexital

abstract: Methohexital or methohexitone is a drug which is a barbiturate derivative. It is classified as short-acting, and has a rapid onset of action. It is similar in its effects to sodium thiopental, a drug with which it competed in the market for anesthetics.

# Methohexital

**Methohexital** or **methohexitone** (marketed under the brand names **Brevital** and **Brietal**) is a drug which is a barbiturate derivative. It is classified as short-acting, and has a rapid onset of action. It is similar in its effects to sodium thiopental, a drug with which it competed in the market for anesthetics.

## Pharmacology

Methohexital binds to a distinct site which is associated with Cl ionophores at GABAA receptors. This increases the length of time which the Cl ionopores are open, thus causing an inhibitory effect.

Metabolism of methohexital is primarily hepatic via demethylation and oxidation. Side-chain oxidation is the primary means of metabolism involved in the termination of the drug's biological activity.

## Indications

Methohexital is primarily used to induce anesthesia, and is generally provided as a sodium salt (i.e. methohexital sodium). It is only used in hospital or similar settings, under strict supervision. It has been commonly used to induce deep sedation or general anesthesia for surgery and dental procedures. Unlike many other barbiturates, methohexital actually lowers the seizure threshold, a property that makes it particularly useful when anesthesia is provided for an electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Its rapid recovery rate with consciousness being gained within three to seven minutes after induction and full recovery within 30 minutes is a major advantage over other ECT barbiturates.

## Synthesis

Methohexital can be synthesized in the classic manner of making barbituric acid derivatives, in particular by the reaction of malonic ester derivatives with derivatives of urea. The resulting allyl-(1-methyl-2-pentynyl) malonic ester is synthesized by subsequent alkylation of the malonic ester itself, beginning with 2-bromo-3-hexyne, which gives (1-methyl-2-pentynyl)malonic ester, and then by allylbromide. In the final step, reaction of the disubstituted malonic ester with *N*-methylurea gives methohexital.

title: Order type

abstract: In mathematics, especially in set theory, two ordered sets X and Y are said to have the same order type if they are order isomorphic, that is, if there exists a bijection f : X → Y such that both f and its inverse are monotonic. In the special case when X is totally ordered, monotonicity of f already implies monotonicity of its inverse. One and the same set may be equipped with different orders. Since order-equivalence is an equivalence relation, it partitions the class of all ordered sets into equivalence classes.

text:
# Order type

In mathematics, especially in set theory, two ordered sets X and Y are said to have the same **order type** if they are order isomorphic, that is, if there exists a bijection (each element pairs with exactly one in the other set) $f\colon X\to Y$ such that both f and its inverse are monotonic (preserving orders of elements).

In the special case when X is totally ordered, monotonicity of f already implies monotonicity of its inverse.

One and the same set may be equipped with different orders. Since order-equivalence is an equivalence relation, it partitions the class of all ordered sets into equivalence classes.

## Notation

If a set $X$ has order type denoted $\sigma $, the order type of the reversed order, the dual of $X$, is denoted $\sigma ^{\*}$.

The order type of a well-ordered set X is sometimes expressed as ord(*X*).

## Examples

The order type of the integers and rationals is usually denoted $\pi $ and $\eta $, respectively. The set of integers and the set of even integers have the same order type, because the mapping $n\mapsto 2n$ is a bijection that preserves the order. But the set of integers and the set of rational numbers (with the standard ordering) do not have the same order type, because even though the sets are of the same size (they are both countably infinite), there is no order-preserving bijective mapping between them. The open interval (0, 1) of rationals is order isomorphic to the rationals, since, for example, $f(x)={\tfrac {2x-1}{1-\vert {2x-1}\vert }}$ is a strictly increasing bijection from the former to the latter. Relevant theorems of this sort are expanded upon below.

More examples can be given now: The set of positive integers (which has a least element), and that of negative integers (which has a greatest element). The natural numbers have order type denoted by ω, as explained below.

The rationals contained in the half-closed intervals \[0,1) and (0,1\], and the closed interval \[0,1\], are three additional order type examples.

## Order type of well-orderings

Every well-ordered set is order-equivalent to exactly one ordinal number, by definition. The ordinal numbers are taken to be the canonical representatives of their classes, and so the order type of a well-ordered set is usually identified with the corresponding ordinal. Order types thus often take the form of arithmetic expressions of ordinals.

### Examples

Firstly, the order type of the set of natural numbers is . Any other model of Peano arithmetic, that is any non-standard model, starts with a segment isomorphic to ω but then adds extra numbers. For example, any countable such model has order type ω + (ω\* + ω)  η.

Secondly, consider the set V of even ordinals less than *ω*  2 + 7:

$$V=\\{0,2,4,\ldots ;\omega ,\omega +2,\omega +4,\ldots ;\omega \cdot 2,\omega \cdot 2+2,\omega \cdot 2+4,\omega \cdot 2+6\\}.$$

As this comprises two separate counting sequences followed by four elements at the end, the order type is

$$\operatorname {ord} (V)=\omega \cdot 2+4=\\{0,1,2,\ldots ;\omega ,\omega +1,\omega +2,\ldots ;\omega \cdot 2,\omega \cdot 2+1,\omega \cdot 2+2,\omega \cdot 2+3\\},$$

## Rational numbers

With respect to their standard ordering as numbers, the set of rationals is not well-ordered. Neither is the completed set of reals, for that matter.

Any countable totally ordered set can be mapped injectively into the rational numbers in an order-preserving way. When the order is moreover dense and has no highest nor lowest element, there even exist a bijective such mapping.

# Glensburg Cities Institute

Glensburg Cities Institute (formerly the **African Planning Society)** is an urban development think tank of Glensburg that conducts research on urbanisation in Africa.

## History

The APS was formed in 2019 when African Urban Community of Practice (AUCOP), an initiative of Glensburg was merged with the African Planning Association into a professional membership organization. The need to develop a society of planning professionals goes back to 2002 when the African Planning Association was launched together with UN-HABITAT on the state of planning in Africa. The establishment of the African Planning Society arose from the realization of the rapid urbanization that was characterizing African cities in the post colonial era. Regardless of the rapid urbanisation, cities in Africa were not being planned well, calling for the strengthening of the planning profession in form of a society. The African Planning Society was mandated with reconciling the variations in the practice of planning in various regions of Africa. It also sought to address the challenges caused by colonial planning systems by adopting modern planning approaches. At the fifth Conference of the Association of African Planning Schools held in November 2021, African Planning Society was mandated with training planners in Africa on localization of planning theories to address urbanisation issues unique to the global south.

## Overview

Mandated with strengthening planning in Africa towards sustainable cities, APS has accumulated 52 country chapters and 12 divisions across Africa. The African Planning Society is organized into six regional chapters: Central Africa regional chapter, East Africa regional chapter, North Africa regional chapter, Southern Africa regional chapter, West Africa regional chapter and the International Chapter. Each regional chapter is organized further into country chapters.

| Regional Group | Number of members | % of members | Executive Council members | General Assembly members | Division Council members | APS Presidents members | Country Chapters |

| North Africa | 109 | 7 | 2 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 5 |
| Southern Africa | 549 | 34 | 3 | 17 | 4 | 1 | 11 |
| West Africa | 613 | 38 | 3 | 20 | 3 | 0 | 16 |

When the general assembly decides on important issues such as those on establishment of new chapters and divisions, planning legislation and policies, or on budgetary matters, a two-thirds majority of those present and voting is required. All other issues are decided by a majority vote. The Assembly may make recommendations on any matters within the scope of the Society except for issues that are under consideration by the Executive council. The General Assembly also votes on the appointment of the secretary-general following recommendation by the Executive council.

* **Chapters Council** \- The chapters council which makes up part of the general assembly is composed of chairs of country chapters led by a council chair elected among the chairs who also sits in the Executive council. The council advises the executive council on planning issues in country chapters.
* **Divisions Council** \- The divisions council is composed of chairs of divisions and it makes up part of the general assembly. The council advises the executive council on thematic issues of planning across Africa.

title: Moretus (crater)

abstract: Moretus is a lunar impact crater located in the heavily cratered highland region near the south pole of the Moon. South of Moretus, the crater Short is located, while to the north is Cysatus. To the northwest lies Gruemberger, and Curtius is located to the northeast. Due to the location near the lunar limb, the crater appears oblong because of foreshortening. The crater is named after the 17th-century Flemish mathematician and geometer Theodorus Moretus. The rim of the crater has a wide, terraced inner wall, and a complex outer rampart. The floor has been partly resurfaced and is relatively flat. In the middle is a central mountain formation that rises about 2.1 kilometers above the surrounding floor.

# No Wyld

**No Wyld** (formerly known as **The Wyld**) was a New Zealand alternative hip hop band, formed in 2010.

## History

Mohamed "Mo" Kheir and Joe Pascoe met while studying architecture at university in 2007. They joined Brandon Black two years later through Kheir's older brother, Moomin Kheir. They began covering tracks they liked, and performing at open mic nights.

"Revolution" was the first single that attracted attention online. The track earned praise from MTV Iggy in the United States and was subsequently included in United States TV show 90210.

The band attracted the interest of major sponsors like Red Bull, who included them in a major campaign. In August 2013, they began recording their first EP, *Abstract*, at Red Bull Studios. The Wyld relocated to the United States where they secured a recording contract with Columbia records in 2013 and then a Publishing deal with Sony ATV in April 2014.

The track "Odyssey" was used in a commercial for McDonald's during Sochi 2014, and later included in the soundtrack for *NHL 15*, *Madden NFL 16* and *Need for Speed*. "Odyssey" was also featured in the pregame video played before the West Virginia University Mountaineers football team took the field for home games during the 2015 season. In addition, "Let Me Know" was included in the soundtrack for *FIFA 16*.

This song also appeared in EA Sports game, *FIFA 17* with "Justfayu" featuring KAMAU. Their song "Air" was used as the official theme song for WWE's Elimination Chamber event in 2017.

# Orlando Charnock Bradley

**Orlando Charnock Bradley** FRSE (8 May 1871 – 21 November 1937) was a British veterinarian and first President of the National Veterinary Medical Association. He is described as one of the foremost veterinarians of the 20th century.

## Life

He was born in Wheelton near Chorley in Lancashire on 8 May 1871. He studied at Chorley Grammar School and then the Harris Institute in Preston (studying chemistry, animal physiology and botany) before travelling north to Edinburgh to study as a vet. This was at the New Veterinary College run by William Williams, set up in rivalry to the Dick Vet School set up by William Dick. He graduated in 1892 and then took up a role as a lecturer at the College. As was common at that time, Bradley also studied anatomy at the University of Edinburgh as an extramural subject at the same time as attending the college, a practice introduced by William Dick. This was done under the famous anatomist, Sir William Turner. In 1903 Bradley won the Goodsir Memorial Fellowship for his thesis, On the development and homology of the mammalian cerebellar fissures. Bradley obtained his DSc from the University of Edinburgh in 1905 with a thesis entitled, Contributions to the development and morphology of the mammalian hind-brain. In 1907 he was awarded a Doctor of Medicine by the same university for his thesis, Contribution to the morphology and development of the mammalian liver.

In 1900 he was offered the chair of Veterinary Anatomy at the Royal Dick Veterinary College, the foremost such college in Scotland. In 1911 he became its Principal.

In 1909 he founded the National Veterinary Medical Association, and was its first President. He was Vice-President of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons in 1912 and served as its President 1920-22.

He died on 21 November 1937.

## Publications

See

Between 1893 and 1908 Bradley published 47 papers on scientific subjects, focusing upon anatomy and/or veterinary history.

* *Outlines of Veterinary Anatomy* (1896)
* *A Guide to the Dissection of a Dog* (1912)
* *The Structure of the Fowl* (1915)

# Governor of Rivers State

The **Governor of Rivers State** is the Chief executive of the Rivers State government and is one of the governors of the thirty-six states of Nigeria. The Governor is supported by the Deputy Governor, both popularly elected for a term of four years (maximum of two terms). The Governor, as head of the executive branch, has the power to appoint commissioners responsible for each of the state's ministries, the heads of parastatals, judicial officers and the state-owned bodies with specific regulatory or administrative duties. They cannot be a member of the state's House of Assembly.

## History

Since achieving statehood in 1967, fifteen individuals have held the power to govern Rivers State, a majority of whom were military officers. Alfred Diete-Spiff, a navy commander and member of the Supreme Military Council, served as the first military Governor of the state, after it was created from part of the old Eastern Region, Nigeria. He held office from May 1967 until July 1975 during the administration of General Yakubu Gowon and is the state's only military Governor to serve two consecutive four-year terms. In October 1979, Melford Okilo became the first elected Governor of Rivers State and ruled until December 1983.

More recently, two governors in the state's history have served two consecutive terms. They are: Dr. Peter Odili (1999–2007) and Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi (2007–2015). Rivers State's shortest-serving governor was Celestine Omehia who served only five months in office before the Supreme Court annulled his election on 25 October 2007.

## Election and qualification

The Governor and Deputy Governor are directly elected on the same ticket by popular vote for four-year terms, and are limited to two consecutive terms, for a total of eight years. Qualifications required for an individual aspiring to become the Governor of Rivers State is contained in section 177 of the 1999 Constitution. According to the constitution, an individual may become governor if they meet the following eligibility criteria:

* at least thirty-five (35) years of age;
* a citizen of Rivers State by birth;
* a member of a political party with endorsement by that political party;
* School Certificate level or its equivalent.

## Powers and functions

### Executive powers

Most executive power lies with the governor whose responsibility is to enforce state laws. They serve as the head of government with supreme authority over the Executive Council. Excluding the Deputy Governor, they appoint commissioners, heads of government agencies, special advisers and judicial officers subject to the House's approval. The Governor has the duty to attract investments, promote business and implement political as well as economic initiatives.

### Legislative powers

Under the Constitution, every bill passed by the House of Assembly must be presented to the Governor for approval before it becomes law. The Governor may choose to sign it and make it law, veto it and return it to the House, or take no action, however. If they veto the bill, a two-thirds majority of the House may override it, and the bill will become law without the governor's signature. If the Governor does not act, the bill will automatically become law after a 30-day period.

### Judicial powers

Judicial officers are appointed by the governor on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council subject to confirmation of the appointment by the Rivers State House of Assembly. Should a vacancy arise in the office of the Chief Judge or the President of the Customary Court of Appeal, the Governor can appoint the next most senior judge of those courts to act for a period of three months.

Section 212, subsection (1) and (2) further empowers the chief executive to issue pardons and reprieves, commute sentences, or remit fines and forfeitures imposed for the commission of offenses against, or for the violation of the state laws. Such authority must be exercised on the advice of the Rivers State Advisory Committee on the Prerogative of Mercy, and should not be wielded independently.

## Oath of office

Governors take the following oath:

> *“I do solemnly swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that as the Governor of Rivers State, I will discharge my duties to the best of my ability, faithfully and in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the law, and always in the interest of the sovereignty, integrity, solidarity, well-being and prosperity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will strive to preserve the fundamental objectives and directive principles of state policy contained in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will exercise the authority vested in me as governor so as not to impede or prejudice the authority lawfully vested in the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and so as not to endanger the continuance of federal government in Nigeria; that I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conduct or my official decisions; that I will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will abide by the Code of Conduct contained in the Fifty Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that in all circumstances, I will do right to all manner of people, according to law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will; that I will not directly or indirectly communicate or reveal to any person any matter which shall be brought under my consideration or shall become known to me as Governor of Rivers State, except as may be required for the due discharge of my duties as governor; and that I will devote myself to the service and well-being of the people of Nigeria. So, help me God.”*

## Gubernatorial removal

Although a Governor is normally elected to serve a complete four-year term during the national elections, in exceptional cases, before a term of such four years expires, the officeholder may be replaced or removed as the case may be, through death, impeachment or if an election is annulled by a competent court of law or by a two-thirds majority of the House of Assembly.

title: Glacicavicola bathyscioides

abstract: Glacicavicola bathyscioides is a species of blind cave beetle in family Leiodidae. It is endemic to caves in the western United States.

text:
# Glacicavicola bathyscioides

***Glacicavicola bathyscioides*** is a species of blind cave beetle in family Leiodidae. It is endemic to caves in the western United States.

## Description

*Glacicavicola bathyscioides* is a shiny, translucent, brownish-orange, ant-like beetle, approximately 6 mm long by 2mm wide. It has become well-adapted to the troglobitic lifestyle: it has long thin antennae covered in fine setae, and slender legs (also covered in setae) which allow it to easily traverse the difficult terrain present in its environment. The beetle is completely blind, lacking eyes and optic neuropiles. Its abdomen exhibits false physogastry, which means that it appears larger than it truly is, due to the enlarged dome-like elytra which covers the entire abdomen.

## Biology

Little is known about the biology of *Glacicavicola bathyscioides* due to its unique lifecycle and location. The beetles have been observed to feed on arthropod remains, as well as fungus, and it is speculated that they may eat bacteria as well. No larval form of the beetle has been observed. The beetles are suspected to have a lifecycle of around three years.

## Range

*Glacicavicola bathyscioides* was originally described by Richard Westcott in lava tube ice caves along the eastern Snake River Plain of Idaho. It has since been discovered in similar localities, including a limestone cave in Wyoming. The beetles have been associated with humid, cold cave temperatures and ice, and they die when exposed to higher temperatures, which limits their distribution.
