# Gendebelo

**Gendebelo** (also called **Gende Belo**) was an ancient Muslim trading city in Ethiopia. Its location was discovered in 2009 by a team of French archaeologists.

## History

Gendebelo was a medieval Muslim trading center thought to be lost. It was believed to situated about 30 kilometres (19 mi) from Ankobar. Gendebelo was "a great mercantile city", where camel caravans brought all kinds of spices except ginger (which was grown locally) from the port of Zeila. Although Ethiopia is known as the second oldest Christian country in the world, about half of its population is Muslim. Gendebelo was a place of peaceful trade between the Christian and Muslim cultures.

## Discovery

In 2009, French archaeologists François-Xavier Fauvelle-Aymar and Bertrand Hirsch discovered the site as a medieval city now known as Nora, which has been abandoned for years except for the mosque.

An old Ajami manuscript helped the archaeologists determine the city's location. Italian scholar and Ethiopia expert Enrico Cerulli had found the manuscript in the Muslim city of Harar in 1936, where it was being used to wrap sugar. The archaeologists also used the writings of Alessandro Zorzi, a 16th-century Venetian explorer who had found the ruins of Gendebelo in the desert and referred to it as "the place where mules are to be unloaded and camels take over."

### D-Boys

In October 2004, Kaji joined the Watanabe Entertainment group named the D-BOYS. As a member of the D-BOYS, Kaji also keeps a blog, which he updates occasionally. Being a part of the D-BOYS provided Kaji with a lot of opportunities. Among them was to perform with the group of boys and expand his experience as a performer. On August 6, 2005, Kaji, along with Hiroki Suzuki, appeared on the radio program, Marvelous Radio Vibration that was hosted by fellow D-Boys members Yuu Shirota and Kotaro Yanagi.

The D-BOYS so far have released two Photobooks. The first photobook released on April 27, 2005, was self-titled *D-Boys*, while the second, released on March 15, 2006, was called *Start*, both which contain many photos of Kaji.

The D-BOYS have also starred in their own drama documentary variety series called, *DD-Boys* in which Kaji's appeared in a few episodes as himself. The show was 24 episodes long and ran from April 10 to September 25, 2006.

In June 2007, the D-BOYS starred in their very own musical together called, *D-BOYS STAGE*, which ran from June 3 to 10 at the Space Zero theater in Tokyo. Kaji appeared in the musical as a regular performer for the run of the musical.

### Musicals

Kaji won the role of Takeshi Momoshiro, the friendly 2nd year regular of Seigaku Middle School's tennis club, in *The Prince of Tennis* musical series, Tenimyu. From 2005 to 2006, he became the second actor to play Momoshiro. He made his debut as Momoshiro on January 8, 2005, in the *Side Yamabuki* performance in Osaka.

During his run in the musicals, he was able to work with fellow D-BOYS members Yuya Endo, Kotaro Yanagi, Hiroki Suzuki, Masato Wada, Hirofumi Araki, Osamu Adachi, and former member Yuu Shirota.

On March 29, 2006, in the *Dream Live 3rd* live concert, he, along with the majority of the Seigaku cast, graduated from their roles. Since his graduation, the role of Momoshiro has been played by Shinpei Takagi, by fellow D-BOYS member Tetsuya Makita, and by actor Toshihiro Nobeyama.

### Live action

Kaji was able to carry on his role from the musicals to the live-adaptation film of the manga series of *The Prince of Tennis*. He, along with most of the principal cast members for the Seigaku Regulars, were able to reprise their roles in the movie. The only major casting change was the casting of Kanata Hongo as Ryoma Echizen, the main protagonist.

*The Prince of Tennis* was released on May 13, 2006, and opened on the tenth spot in the Japanese box office and marked Kaji's first major film debut.

### Seishun Energy: Check It Out Yo! in Tokyo

After his graduation from Tenimyu, Kaji starred in the first series of the TV drama, *Seishun Energy: Check It Out Yo! in Tokyo* (*青春★ENERGY ~ チェケラッチョ!! In Tokyo*), which premiered on Fuji TV April 12, 2006, and broadcast until June 15, 2006. The series was a spinoff from the movie, *Check It Out Yo!!* (*チェケラッチョ!!*), was 10 episode long and featured Kaji as Shingo Amida, one of the four main characters. The show was about four 3rd year high school students with no direction in their lives, until they found rap, which then inspired them to take charge of their lives and their dreams. In the show, his character, along with his three costars' (Masataka Kubota, Ryo Kimura, and Gota Watabe) characters formed ROM-4. Later, Kaji and his costars (under ROM-4) recorded and released the CD single called "Keep It Goin' On", which was used as the show's ending theme.

### Regatta

Then, Kaji appeared in the TV drama, *Regatta*, which premiered on TV Asahi, running from July 14, 2006, to September 8, 2006. The show revolved around a university rowing club, in which Kaji had the role of playing the freshman, Toshiyuki Hoshino, on the team.

### Musical Air Gear

Nearly after a year away from musicals, Kaji starred as Onigiri, member of the Kogarasumaru Air Trecks team, in the first Air Gear musical called, *Musical Air Gear (ミュージカル エア・ギア)*, which debuted on January 7, 2007, and run til January 21, 2007. Performances for the Air Gear musical were held in Tokyo at the Space Zero Theater from January 7 to 14, 2007 and in Osaka at the Theater BRAVA from January 19 to 21, 2007. The cast features Kaji's former Tenimyu co-actors, Kamakari Kenta and KENN, reprising their voice-over roles from the anime respectively as Ikki and Kazu, with RUN&GUN, Kenjiro Tsuda etc. as co-stars.

Due to the success and popularity of the musical's first run, the musical had a rerun in May 2007 titled, *Musical Air Gear vs. Bacchus Super Range Remix (ミュージカル「エア・ギア」vs.バッカス Super Range Remix)* with Kaji reprising his role as Onigiri, which ran from May 3 to 8, 2007 at the Nihon Seinenkan Dai Hall in Tokyo.

Thus, Kaji is attached, as Onigiri, in the following shows:

* Musical Air Gear
* Musical Air Gear vs. Bacchus Super Range Remix

### Out of Order

Following his performance in the *Air Gear Musical*, Kaji will appear on stage in the 2007 *Out of Order* Live Entertainment Show with fellow D-Boys members Yuya Endo and Kumai Kohei. Other cast members also include Jun Nagura, Ken Horiuchi, Chiaki Hara, Asami Abe, Rag Fair etc. Performances will run from March 21, 2007, to March 26, 2007, at the Aoyama Theater in Tokyo and will also run from March 31, 2007, to April 1, 2007, at the Karapa Hall in Osaka.

### Arakure KNIGHT

2007 will see Kaji appear in a string of films. The first will be Arakure KNIGHT (荒くれKNIGHT, Arakure KNIGHT?), the live-action movie adaptation of the 1982 to 1988 manga series, *Aratanaru Shobaku* by Satosi Yoshida. The film is scheduled for limited released, opening on April 28, 2007, in Cinema GAGA. Kaji will once again act alongside fellow D-Boys member, Yuu Shirota, as well as be reunited with former Tenimyu castmates, Kousuke Kujirai, Yoshikazu Kotani, and *Musical Air Gear* co-star, Kenta Kamakari.

Previously, in 1998, a live-action TV series had been made titled *Shin Shōnan Bakusōzoku Arakure Knight* (*Bomber Bikers of Shonan*).

### Waruboro

Next, Kaji will be appearing in the film *Waruboro (ワルボロ)*, which will star Kaji's costar from *Yankee Boukou ni Kaeru* and *Regatta*, Shota Matsuda, as the main character; with Kaji's *Seishun Energy: Check It Out Yo! in Tokyo* costar Ryo Kimura and fellow D-Boys member, Yuu Shirota as supporting characters. Due to the setting and time period of the movie, Kaji had to perm his hair for his character. The movie is an adaptation of Gettsu Itaya's semi-autobiographical novel, *Waruboro*, and is set to be released in the summer of 2007 as principal filmography began on September 20, 2006.

### Personal life

Kaji keeps a blog on his D-Boys webpage, which he updates occasionally. In his blog entries he likes to call himself "Karaage" (literally meaning "fried thing"), which is a running joke between him and Hiroki Suzuki, due to Kaji's dislike for his tan. He is very close friends with fellow D-BOYS members Masato Wada (who often regards Kaji as a best friend and younger brother), Hiroki Suzuki, Osamu Adachi and Hirofumi Araki.

On August 12, 2006, he, along with Hiroki Suzuki, attended the second performance showing in Tokyo for the *Advancement Side Rokkaku feat. Hyotei Gakuen* to support Kousuke Kujirai and Hiroki Aiba.

# Lugton High railway station

**Lugton High railway station** was a railway station serving the hamlet of Lugton, East Ayrshire, Scotland as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway.

## History

The station opened on 1 May 1903 and was simply known as **Lugton**. It closed between 1 January 1917 and 2 March 1919 due to wartime economy, and upon the grouping of the L&AR into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, it was renamed Lugton High on 2 June 1924. The station closed to passengers on 4 July 1932.

Little remains of this station today, aside from the stationmaster's house and related buildings, the abutments of a bridge crossing the A735 to the south, and a large embankment to the north.

Gree Goods station was located between Lugton and Barrmill, just to the south of the now demolished Gree Viaduct and near the clachan of that name.

title: Masham railway station

abstract: Masham railway station was the terminus of the Melmerby to Masham branch line serving the town of Masham in North Yorkshire, England. It was on the eastern side of the River Ure, so as such, was actually in Burton-on-Ure.

# Masham railway station

**Masham railway station** was the terminus of the Melmerby to Masham branch line serving the town of Masham in North Yorkshire, England. It was on the eastern side of the River Ure, so as such, was actually in Burton-on-Ure. The line operated between 1875 and 1931 for passenger traffic, but was retained for minimal freight train use until 1963.

## History

Masham station opened on the same day as the line did, with services commencing on 9 June 1875. The population at the time of opening was just over 3,600, but the station retained healthy outward traffic in the form of timber and livestock.

The station was located on the left bank of the River Ure, 1-mile (1.6 km) away from Masham in the neighbouring parish of Burton-on-Ure rather than across the river in Masham itself. In 1901, a narrow gauge railway was built for the purposes of constructing reservoirs in Colsterdale, which meant that a section of railway then went north from the station crossing the river, but it bypassed the town of Masham to the north.

The station area had a single-road locomotive shed which stabled the one steam engine used on the four daily out and back workings to Ripon. After closure to passengers, the branch was normally worked by a locomotive from Starbeck Shed in Harrogate. When Starbeck shed closed in 1959, the branch was worked by an engine from York.

In October 1908, an over laden train ran through the station and across the Melmerby to Masham road (now the A6108) and into the narrow gauge exchange yard just north of the road. The wagons were badly damaged, but there were no injuries or deaths. The driver had lost control on the 1-in-61 gradient into the station's goods yard.

The station was closed to passengers in January 1931, but continued receiving deliveries of small amounts of goods traffic until 1963. The issue of the railway being open just to deliver coal to the stationmasters and fresh water to the crossing keeper's cottages was raised in Parliament by the MP for Darlington at that time.

The station buildings are now private dwellings and the goods shed has since been converted into a cafe and gallery. A blue plaque adorns the side of the good shed commemorating the Leeds Pals, who arrived by train at Masham station in September 1914 and marched up to Colsterdale to begin their training for war.

title: Mike and Mary Matson Farmstead

abstract: The Mike and Mary Matson Farmstead is a historic farmstead in Embarrass Township, Minnesota, United States. It was established by a Finnish immigrant family around 1900 and includes five surviving buildings constructed with traditional Finnish log architecture. The farm was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for its state-level significance in the themes of agriculture, architecture, and European ethnic heritage. It was nominated for its association with the Finnish settlement and conversion of St. Louis County's cutover woodland into productive farmland, and for exhibiting their use of traditional log architecture.

## Description

The historic district consists of seven contributing properties, all dating to around the year 1900. Five are log buildings: a cattle barn, a hay barn, a cattle and hay barn, a stable, and a smoke sauna. All five were constructed by the Matsons' neighbor Gregorius Hanka. Rounding out the inventory of historic properties are the farm's well and agricultural fields.

# Vicki Lester

**Vicki Lester** (born **Dorothy Gertrude Day**; April 7, 1915  May 7, 2001) was an American actress. She is best known for appearing in *Sky Giant* (1938), *The Mad Miss Manton* (1938) and *The Lone Rider and the Bandit* (1942).

## Biography

Born **Dorothy Day**, Lester took her stage name from Janet Gaynor's character in *A Star Is Born* (1937). The name change was suggested by Mervyn LeRoy and approved by David Selznick. Alas, she never made the grade as a 'star' in her own right.

Lester attended schools in Manhattan and originally planned to design clothes for a career. She was a student of music and art, and she gained notability as a pianist. She became a model for artists and photographers, leading to her being named one of the "Twelve Most Photographed Girls in America". She was "seen in hundreds of advertisements and on scores of magazine covers".

Lester died in May 2001 in Beverly Hills, California at the age of 86.

# Warriors (cricket team)

The **Warriors** are a Division 1 cricket team representing the Eastern Cape in South African domestic competitions. The Warriors take part in the CSA 4-Day Series first-class competition, the Momentum One-Day Cup and CSA T20 Challenge. The team's home venue is St George's Park in Port Elizabeth, as well as Buffalo Park in East London.

## History

The Warriors were originally established as an entirely professional franchise team following reforms that were carried out to the South African domestic leagues in 2004–05. Traditionally, from 1893–94 to 2004–05, eleven provincial teams (with occasional additions) had competed in the Currie Cup. In 2004–05, the eleven provincial teams were rationalised into six new, entirely professional franchises, in all three formats. Eastern Province CC and Border CC were the former clubs that merged to form the Warriors.

### Eastern Province CC and Border CC

Eastern Province and Border both competed in the provincial Currie Cup from the 1890s until the creation of franchise teams in 2004. For both clubs, success was largely elusive throughout this period. Eastern Province's peak came in the mid to late 1980s with the team winning the series title in 1988–89, sharing the cup in 1989–90, and then a final outright win the following season in 1991–92. Four one-day titles, such as the Standard Bank Cup and the Nissan Cup, were also won during this time.

Border was one of the weakest cricketing teams in South Africa during the provincial domestic era. Border hold the record for the lowest aggregate score by a first class side in a match. During a Currie Cup match against Natal at Jan Smuts Ground in 1959–60, Border scored only 34 runs in the match - 16 in the first innings and 18 in the second innings. Border failed to win any first-class or List-A titles during the provincial era.

### Franchise Era

Following the 2004-05 domestic reforms, the provincial teams of Eastern Province and Border were merged to form the Warriors franchise. The Warriors were the most unsuccessful franchise between 2004–05 and 2020–21 in the 4-Day domestic series, failing to win a single title. The 2009–10 season was the most successful for the team, winning both the one-day title and the T20 cup. One more one-day title followed in 2017–18, however this was shared with the Dolphins.

Like many of the other franchises, sponsorship rights were granted for the beginning of the team name. Until 2015, the official name of the team was the Chevrolet Warriors.

### Return to Provincial Cricket

In 2020, domestic cricket in South Africa was restructured once more and the six former franchise teams were dropped. In its place was a return to the more traditional two-division league format, with a total of fifteen professional teams competing. The previously semi-professional provincial cricket league has been absorbed, effectively forming the leagues second division. Promotion and relegation between the two divisions, not seen since the start of the franchise era in 2004, will return after 2023–24.

The former name of Eastern Province or even Eastern Cape could have returned during this time, however Eastern Province Cricket decided to maintain the brand recognition from the franchise era, with the new team continuing to be called the Warriors.

During the month of October each year, the side eschews their traditional black and electric green colours in favour of a bold pink playing kit to show their support of Breast Cancer Awareness as well as their fundraising efforts for Reach for Recovery.

# Minuscule 929

**Minuscule 929** (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), δ 478 (von Soden), is a 13th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment. It has marginalia and was prepared for liturgical use. The manuscript has survived in complete condition.

## Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 214 parchment leaves (size 21 cm by 14.5 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 26-30 lines per page. The leaves of the codex are arranged in octavo. According to Hermann von Soden it is an ornamented manuscript It contains the Eusebian Canon tables at the beginning and portraits of the Evangelists (except John Evangelist) before each Gospel.

## Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx. Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category. According to the Claremont Profile Method it belongs to the textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.

## History

The manuscript was dated by Gregory to the 13th century. Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 13th century. The codex 929 was seen by Gregory at the Dionysiou monastery (8), in Mount Athos. Currently the manuscript is housed at the Dionysiou monastery (52 (12)) in Athos.

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by C. R. Gregory (929e). It was not on the Scrivener's list, but it was added to his list by Edward Miller in the 4th edition of A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament.

It is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4, NA28).

title: 1942 UK & Ireland Greyhound Racing Year

abstract: The 1942 UK & Ireland Greyhound Racing Year was the 17th year of greyhound racing in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

text:
# 1942 UK & Ireland Greyhound Racing Year

The **1942 UK & Ireland Greyhound Racing Year** was the 17th year of greyhound racing in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

## Summary

The year continued to be dominated by the effect of World War II. The only major races that had not been suspended were the Irish Greyhound Derby and Scottish Greyhound Derby. Many race meetings held throughout the country helped with the war effort with money collections made frequently for various funds. The crowds remained healthy and the racing provided a welcome distraction from the war.

The distraction was so significant that the annual totalisator turnover set another new record, reaching £49,989,183, government tax and track deduction remained at 6% each respectively. An example of the sports popularity was highlighted at the House of Commons when an issue was addressed. The issue concerned was when upwards of 500 personnel at an aircraft factory left without permission to attend an afternoon greyhound meeting.

## Ballynennan Moon

Ballynennan Moon returned after a winter rest and won the Walthamstow Stakes and Wimbledon Spring Cup. In his next 48 races, he was to win on forty occasions and finish second seven times. After finishing first, fourteen times in succession, he seemed certain to beat Mick the Miller's 19 straight wins but, in the fifteenth race, he was beaten a neck by Laughing Lackey. He then went on to record another eight successive wins during a five-month period and became a household name. He won the Wimbledon Spring Cup, the 1,000 Guineas at Park Royal Stadium, the Wembley Summer Cup, the Eclipse at Coventry, the Stewards Cup at Walthamstow Stadium and at the end of the year the International at Wimbledon Stadium.

## Competitions

The fawn dog *Ballycurreen Soldier* won the Scottish Derby for the second time, the veteran racer was running in his fourth consecutive final.

## News

Leading trainer Joe Harmon died, leaving a huge gap to fill in the trainers ranks. A race would be initiated in his honour and the race would aptly be won by the best greyhound in training, Ballynennan Moon. Alfred Critchley became the Chairman of the Greyhound Racing Association, in place of the late Edward Loch, 2nd Baron Loch.

## Ireland

The Irish Derby moved back to a more traditional slot at the end of May and was held at Cork Greyhound Stadium. It was only the second time the classic was run outside Dublin. Cork had won the rights to host due to the unfortunate circumstances that had stopped them from holding the event the year before (Foot-and-mouth disease). The first prize was only £175, the lowest on record but the track experienced record crowds. John Crowley a local pub owner in Cork trained *Uacterlainn Riac* to success for his brother Jerry who owned the dog. Uacterlainn Riac (meaning Creamery Brindle) attempted hurdles after the Derby but failed to take to them and plans for a Grand National double were scrapped.

title: Trochilinae

abstract: Trochilinae is one of the six subfamilies that make up the hummingbird family Trochilidae. The subfamily is divided into three tribes: Lampornithini containing 18 species, Mellisugini (bees) containing 37 species and Trochilini (emeralds) containing 115 species.

# Trochilinae

**Trochilinae** is one of the six subfamilies that make up the hummingbird family Trochilidae.

The subfamily is divided into three tribes: Lampornithini (mountain gems) containing 18 species, Mellisugini (bees) containing 37 species and Trochilini (emeralds) containing 115 species.

## Phylogeny

The hummingbirds were formerly divided into two subfamilies, the hermits (Phaethornithinae) and the nonhermits (Trochilinae). The results from a 2007 DNA hybridization study suggested that the hermits were basal to the rest of the family.

A molecular phylogenetic study of the hummingbirds published in 2007 found that the family consisted of nine clades. When Edward Dickinson and James Van Remsen Jr. updated the *Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World* for the 4th edition in 2013, they divided the hummingbird family into six subfamilies based on the molecular results and redefined the subfamily Trochilinae to contain three clades, each of which they placed in a separate tribe: Lampornithini (mountain gems), Mellisugini (bees) and Trochilini (emeralds). A comprehensive phylogenetic study that sampled 284 hummingbird species was published in 2014. It confirmed the nine clades found in the earlier study but found that the hermits were sister to the topazes clade (subfamily Florisuginae) containing the genera *Topaza* and *Florisuga*. Many of the traditional genera in the emerald clade (Trochilini) were shown to be polyphyletic. As a result, many of the genera in this part of the tree have been revised.

The above cladogram of the hummingbird family is based on a molecular phylogenetic study by Jimmy McGuire and collaborators published in 2014. The Latin names are those proposed by Dickinson and Remsen in 2013.

# Waverly, Indiana

**Waverly** is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Harrison Township, Morgan County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.

## History

Waverly had its start about 1837 by the building of the canal through that territory. At one time, Waverly was one of two sites in the running to become Indiana's state capital. A post office was established at Waverly in 1862, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1927. Located alongside the White River, the Waverly community has suffered severe flooding, most recently in 2008. Much of the area was then purchased by Morgan County for recreational purposes. Old Town Waverly Park is now open on the original site of the village of Waverly. The Waverly Bank building has been retained and restored to act as a museum of sorts, and a traditional arts area is available for demonstrations of blacksmithing, tinsmithing and other traditional arts. A paved, two mile riverwalk trail for pedestrian and bicycle use follows the river.

# Geneviève Meurgues

**Geneviève Meurgues** (4 February 1931 - 21 December 2021) was a French explorer, museologist, curator, conservator, chemical engineer and lecturer. As a professor at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, she specialised in the conservation of natural history specimens. She is noted for the preservation of the Roman boat found in Marseille and for her contribution to the establishment of the grande galerie de l'évolution du Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris.

## Early life

Geneviève Meurgues was born on 4 February 1931 in Paris, into a family originally from Saint-Germain-de-Modéon. She had sister and brother, Christiane and Bernard. Until 1962, she worked in a medical analysis laboratory while completing her education in chemistry and biochemistry at the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers. She graduated as a chemical engineer in 1967, writing her thesis on the nucleic acids of the fungus Aspergillus niger.

## Career

In 1962, Meurgues' work came to the attention of the botanist Roger Heim. He tasked her with setting up a scientific laboratory in the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, dedicated to new methods of conservation and presentation of natural history museum collections. This included conservation techniques such as freeze-drying, and resinous injections, the scientific preservation of colours and pigments, as well as improving the interpretation of exhibitions and displays. She organised and directed the laboratory whilst studying for a Diplôme d'études approfondies (Master's degree) in zoology on Calliphoridae, (types of flies) which she completed in 1973.

She was promoted to become the museum's assistant professor, and went on collecting expeditions to Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Kashmir, China, Morocco amongst others.

Meurgues organised a number temporary exhibitions including: *Les pigments végétaux* (*Vegetable Pigments*) in 1963, *Orchidées et plantes épiphytes* (*Orchids and epiphytic plants*) in 1966, *Météorites, messagères du cosmos* (*Meteorites, messengers of the cosmos*) in 1968, *La Nature au microscope électronique* (*Nature under an electron microscope*) in 1971, *Le Sahara avant le désert* (The Sahara before the desert) in 1974, *Les plus beaux coquillages du monde* (*The most beautiful shells of the world*) in 1975, *Histoire naturelle de la sexualité* (*Natural history of sexuality*) in 1977 with André Langaney, a leading French science communictor.

She delivered the exhibition *Claude Bernard naturaliste* (*Claude Bernard, naturalist*) in 1978, *La bionique, science des inventions de la nature* (*Bionics, science of inventions of nature*) in 1985, *La géonomie, science de l'homme dans la nature* en 1986, and le *Bicentenaire de Buffon* (the *Bicentennial of Buffon*) in 1988.

From 1986, she was responsible for a series of temporary exhibitions including *Parfums de plantes (*Perfumes of plants), a collaboration between the museum and perfume and aromatics industry companies.

At the same time, she wrote the synopsis for the *Esquisse d'une planète habitée* (*Sketch of an Inhabited Planet*) about genomics by Maxence Revault d'Allonnes and Jean-Pierre Gasc, and worked on the creation of the *Musée des Sciences de la Terre (*Museum of Earth Sciences) in Rabat, Morocco in collaboration with paleontologist Philippe Taquet.

Around 1980, Geneviève Meurgues conserved the hull of the Roman boat found under the construction site of the Stock Exchange shopping center in Marseille, using freeze-drying and resinous injection techniques. The conserved boat is on display at the Marseille History Museum.

In 1985 she was awarded the Jean-Perrin Prize for her work to popularise science.

From 1988, she devoted herself to the development of grande galerie de l'évolution du Muséum national d'histoire naturelle at the National Museum of Natural History. She worked on the choice of specimens, the interpretation and writing of scientific texts and the synopses and screen plays for documentary films, as well as designing games for the gallery. Meurgues was promoted to professor of the Museum in 1992. The grande galerie de l'évolution was opened on 21 June 1994, the day of the summer solstice, by President François Mitterrand. Meurgues escorted him through the gallery.

Geneviève Meurgues worked as the deputy director of the Grande Galerie de l'Évolution until her retirement in 1998.

## Retirement

Meurgues retired to Saint-Germain-de-Modéon, continuing to write articles in specialist magazines, sharing her knowledge in museology and scriptwriting, as well as restoring the family farm and creating an animal rescue refuge. She donated her scientific library to the Muséum d'Autun and is preparing a book *Inventions et bricolages de la nature*. She published *Du jardin de Buffon à l'Afghanistan: mémoires d'une naturaliste in 2019.*

Geneviève Meurgues died on 21 December 2021, in her 91st year. According to her last wishes, her cremation was private and her ashes will be spread in the "Les Grands Bouchons" wood, where her vocation as a naturalist was born.

## Awards

* *Prix scientifique de la Fondation de France*, with André Langaney, 1978
* *Prix de la Société française de physique*, 1985
* Le *Relictocarabus meurguesianus*, and insect discovered in Morocco, was named in her honour.

Founded in 2006, the property distributes content on Yardbarker.com, social media platforms and via third party syndication partners. In addition, Yardbarker curates and distributes The Morning Bark and Quiz of the Day newsletters.

## History

Yardbarker was founded in March 2006 by Jack and Jeff Kloster, Pete Vlastelica and Mark Johns as a site that enabled sports fans to write and discuss sports with other fans, bloggers, and professional athletes. Yardbarker.com used a system similar to Digg, however was more sports-oriented than Digg. Additionally Yardbarker provided access to more traditional sports information similar to ESPN or Yahoo such as real time sports scores, standings, and news.

The company was funded by several venture capitalists from in and around the San Francisco Bay Area including former NFL player for the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Raiders, Ronnie Lott.

The company provided a platform for bloggers and sports fans to gain additional exposure for their sites by joining the Yardbarker Network which provided targeted advertising and increased promotion. Yardbarker has existed on the web since August 2006 and has had over 70 professional athletes blogging on the site daily. The company and its site have been cited as the primary source of material on players in many sports-related stories in their history by sources such as ESPN.

The company had internet exclusivity agreements with many athletes and was used by those athletes to engage in public discourse on a number of issues via blogs run by Yardbarker. One of the more controversial such listings occurred on April 15, 2008. NBA star Carmelo Anthony was arrested and charged with DUI on Interstate 25. The next day Anthony issued his first apology for the arrest through his Yardbarker blog expressing remorse to his teammates and his fans for his behavior.

Another notable example would be in January 2008, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb used his blog on Yardbarker to lay out his vision for the coming season after the Eagles poor showing in the 2007 NFL season.

Atlanta Falcons FB Ovie Mughelli leveraged the Yardbarker community for his nickname via a contest in 2008.

Yardbarker's primary product was the Yardbarker Network. As of April 2011 over 900 blogs were part of the YBN, making it one of the largest sports blog networks on the web. Yardbarker was the exclusive blogging website of many high-profile athletes including NBA stars Greg Oden and Baron Davis, MLB player Phil Hughes, former UFC star Frank Shamrock and NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb. John Ryan of the *San Jose Mercury News* praised Yardbarker in November 2007 for its collection of blogs after reading a posting by Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch, as being one of the most extensive on the internet.

In October 2008, Yardbarker announced a partnership with Widgetbox. to offer Yardbarker Network members widgets displaying dynamic content around the Yardbarker Network. To date over 600 installs of these widgets have occurred.

In October 2010, Yardbarker was acquired by Fox Sports Interactive. In July 2015, the Yardbarker Network was re-branded as the FOX Sports Engage Network. On January 27, 2016, the FOX Sports Engage Network began terminating affiliate and advertising agreements with written notices sent via UPS.

In July 2017, Yardbarker was acquired by YB Media, LLC from FOX Sports Interactive.

In July 2021, Playmaker Capital Inc. acquired Yardbarker from YB Media, LLC.

title: Walter Tuckfield Goldsworthy

abstract: Major-General Walter Tuckfield Goldsworthy was a British Army officer and a Conservative Party politician. Goldsworthy was born in Marylebone, London. He travelled to India with his father, setting up a merchant business in Calcutta in 1854 and, together with his brother Sir Roger Tuckfield Goldsworthy (1839–1900), he joined the volunteer cavalry known as Havelock's Irregulars. During the Indian Mutiny of 1857, he won medals and was mentioned in dispatches. He was later commissioned into the 8th Hussars. In 1859 he was promoted lieutenant without purchase. In 1864, as a captain, he exchanged into the 91st Foot. In 1866 he was promoted brevet major and in 1868 he became a full major on half-pay. In 1874, still on half-pay, he was promoted brevet lieutenant-colonel and in 1880 brevet colonel. In 1882 he became lieutenant-colonel in the Essex Regiment. He was later promoted major general. In 1897 Goldsworthy was receiving £ 466 per annum from the Indian revenues from annuities subscribed to while on service in India. Goldsworthy was elected Member of Parliament for Hammersmith in the 1885 general election and held the seat until the 1900 general election. In March 1886 Goldsworthy presented a petition to Parliament asking to extend the voting franchise to women. He is credited with a donation of £105 to the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in 1892. In 1890, the 11,888 square feet (1,104.4 m⁲) Yaldham Manor, Kent was advertised in The Times and sold to Goldsworthy. He bred hunters and built the stables and carriage shed. Arthur Nye Peckham, who visited Yaldham in 1911 noted the general had "re-opened the great hall, which had been cut into four rooms".

In March 1886 Goldsworthy presented a petition to Parliament asking to extend the voting franchise to women.

He is credited with a donation of £105 to the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in 1892.

In 1890, the 11,888 square feet (1,104.4 m2) Yaldham Manor, Kent was advertised in The Times and sold to Goldsworthy. He bred hunters and built the stables and carriage shed. Arthur Nye Peckham, who visited Yaldham in 1911 noted the general had "re-opened the great hall, which had been cut into four rooms".

# Minuscule 931

**Minuscule 931** (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1361 (von Soden), is a 13th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment. It has marginalia and was prepared for liturgical use. The manuscript has not survived in complete condition.

## Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 217 parchment leaves (size 19.3 cm by 15.0 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 24 lines per page. The leaves are arranged in octavo. It contains the Eusebian Canon tables and pictures (portraits of Evangelists). It lacks Matthew 24:27-33.

## Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Iκ. Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category. According to the Claremont Profile Method it belongs to the textual family Πb in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.

## History

The manuscript was dated by Gregory to the 13th century. Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 13th century. The codex 931 was seen by Gregory at the Dionysiou monastery (23), in Mount Athos. Currently the manuscript is housed at the Dionysiou monastery (133 (23)) in Athos. Two leaves were classified as *1320*. Originally they belonged to the same manuscript.

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by C. R. Gregory (931e). It was not on Scrivener's list, but it was added to his list by Edward Miller in the 4th edition of A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament.

It is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4, NA28).

# Merrell Tavern

The **Merrell Tavern**, known more recently as the **Merrell Inn**, is a historic tavern at 1565 Pleasant Street (Massachusetts Route 102) in South Lee, Massachusetts. Built in 1794 as a residence, it has served for most of two centuries as a local traveler's accommodation, and retains fine Federal period architectural details. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It continues to serve its historic function, and is now operated as a bed and breakfast inn.

## Description and history

The Merrell Tavern is located on the south side of Pleasant Street, near the western end of the roughly linear village. It is a 3+12-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a gable roof and brick sidewalls. The main facade is covered by a two-story porch extending across its full width. The porch is supported by tapered square columns on the first level, and round Doric columns on the second.

The tavern was built as a residence in 1794 by Joseph Whiton, a local militia commander. It was one of the first brick houses of the Federal period in the region, with some of its design elements taken from the published drawings of Asher Benjamin. It was acquired in 1815 by the Merrell family, who would operate it has a tavern for over a century. The Merrells enlarged the building, adding its third story ballroom and its two-story porch in 1838. The inn's taproom is remarkably well-preserved, with nearly all of its original features intact, including painted oak graining.

The inn was acquired in the 20th century by the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities (now Historic New England, or HNE), which operated it as one of its museum properties for a time. It has since been sold into private ownership, with preservation easements held by HNE.

title: Generalised compound

abstract: A generalized compound is a mixture of chemical compounds of constant composition, despite possible changes in the total amount. The concept is used in the Dynamic Energy Budget theory, where biomass is partitioned into a limited set of generalised compounds, which contain a high percentage of organic compounds. The amount of generalized compound can be quantified in terms of weight, but more conveniently in terms of C-moles. The concept of strong homeostasis has an intimate relationship with that of generalised compound.

# Yarda, Safad

**Yarda** was a Palestinian hamlet in the Safad Subdistrict. It was depopulated during the 1947–1949 Palestine war. It was located 10.5 km northeast of Safad. The area is now part of Israel.

## Etymology

The name Yarda is Aramaic, and means 'the water spring'.

## History

*Khirbat Waqqas* was located west-northwest of Yarda, and is recognised as the place the Canaanites referred to as Hazor. Victor Guérin found at *Kh. Waqqas* in 1875: 'Near a small enclosure, in the centre of which is a broken column consecrated to a santon, are shown the remains of an edifice oriented east and west, once probably a church. It was ornamented with monolithic columns in ordinary limestone, some broken pieces of which are still lying about. Other similar fragments are found in the neighbouring houses. Here and there I remarked cut stones, which no doubt belonged to this monument. A little to the south, a hillock is also covered with ruins of houses.' In 1881, the PEF's *Survey of Western Palestine* (SWP) found at *Kh. Wakkas* only cattle-sheds.

Yarda itself was located at a place called *Kh el Loziyeh* in the late Ottoman era. In 1881, the SWP found here: "Caves and ruined cattle sheds".

### British Mandate era

In the 1931 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, *Yarda* had a population of 13 Muslims, in a total of 3 houses.

In the 1945 statistics, the population was 20 Muslims, who owned 1,367 dunams of land. Of this, 1,359 dunams were used for cereals, while 8 dunams were classified as un-cultivable area.

### Post 1948

After Yarda became depopulated, Ayyelet ha-Shahar took over some of the village land, while in 1949 Mishmar ha-Yarden was also settled on village land.

In 1992 the village site was described: "The truncated walls of some houses still stand, as well as those of a *khan*, or caravansary. The site is strewn with stones from crumbled houses. A portion of the land is used as pasture."
