He worked at the BHP Newcastle Steelworks, in the coke ovens as part of the immigration program at the time, which required people to work for two years in an industry chosen by the Government of Australia. A year after arriving in Australia, he built his own home on Warners Bay Road, Charlestown. It was hard work, as the acre block he selected, was dense Australian bush land. To clear the block he used hand saws and an axe. He built the home with a small loan from the Commonwealth Bank, coming home after his shift at BHP to cut timbers and paint. The house has remained relatively unchanged to this day. Over the years he presented one of his paintings to every man who retired from the Newcastle Steel Works coke ovens department using art supplies given to him by BHP, he became very well known for this.

title: Word play

abstract: Word play or wordplay is a literary technique and a form of wit in which words used become the main subject of the work, primarily for the purpose of intended effect or amusement. Examples of word play include puns, phonetic mix-ups such as spoonerisms, obscure words and meanings, clever rhetorical excursions, oddly formed sentences, double entendres, and telling character names. Word play is quite common in oral cultures as a method of reinforcing meaning. Examples of text-based (orthographic) word play are found in languages with or without alphabet-based scripts, such as homophonic puns in Mandarin Chinese.

# Word play

**Word play** or **wordplay** (also: **play-on-words**) is a literary technique and a form of wit in which words used become the main subject of the work, primarily for the purpose of intended effect or amusement. Examples of word play include puns, phonetic mix-ups such as spoonerisms, obscure words and meanings, clever rhetorical excursions, oddly formed sentences, double entendres, and telling character names (such as in the play *The Importance of Being Earnest*, *Ernest* being a given name that sounds exactly like the adjective *earnest*).

Word play is quite common in oral cultures as a method of reinforcing meaning. Examples of text-based (orthographic) word play are found in languages with or without alphabet-based scripts, such as homophonic puns in Mandarin Chinese.

## Techniques

Tom SwiftiesA form of humorous writing where adverbs are chosen to reflect the nature of the situation in a punning way. "Hurry up and get to the back of the ship," Tom said sternly. WellerismsUsing linguistic fossils and set phrases. Example: "We'll have to rehearse that," said the undertaker as the coffin fell out of the car. Unpaired words: Deliberate use of unusual or obsolete antonyms, such as "I was well-coiffed and sheveled," (back-formation from "disheveled"). SpoonerismAn accidental and often humorous transposition of initial letters or sounds, such as "a flock of bats" instead of "a block of flats" or "a bunny phone" instead of "a funny bone". MalapropismReplacing a word with a different word that sounds similar, either unintentionally or for comedic effect. For example, saying "He is the very pineapple of politeness." instead of *pinnacle* AnthimeriaAltering a word's regular part of speech. This can occur naturally with the evolution of a language, but can also be done for emphasis or comedic effect. For example, saying "The thunder would not peace at my bidding." using the noun *peace* as a verb, or "The little old lady turtled across the street." Double entendreWords or phrases with multiple meanings are used ambiguously with a humorous or sexual (or both) result. For example, Mae West's "Marriage is a fine institution, but I'm not ready for an institution." and the Groucho Marx line "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" PortmanteauCombining two words to create a new word, such as *smoke* and *fog* to make *smog*.

## Examples

Most writers engage in word play to some extent, but certain writers are particularly committed to, or adept at, word play as a major feature of their work . Shakespeare's "quibbles" have made him a noted punster. Similarly, P.G. Wodehouse was hailed by *The Times* as a "comic genius recognized in his lifetime as a classic and an old master of farce" for his own acclaimed wordplay. James Joyce, author of *Ulysses*, is another noted word-player. For example, in his *Finnegans Wake* Joyce's phrase "they were yung and easily freudened" clearly implies the more conventional "they were young and easily frightened"; however, the former also makes an apt pun on the names of two famous psychoanalysts, Jung and Freud.

An epitaph, probably unassigned to any grave, demonstrates use in rhyme.

Here lie the bones of one 'Bun' He was killed with a gun. His name was not 'Bun' but 'Wood' But 'Wood' would not rhyme with gun But 'Bun' would.

Crossword puzzles often employ wordplay to challenge solvers. Cryptic crosswords especially are based on elaborate systems of wordplay.

An example of modern word play can be found on line 103 of Childish Gambino's "III. Life: The Biggest Troll".

> H2O plus my D, that's my hood, I'm living in it

Rapper Milo uses a play on words in his verse on "True Nen"

Keep any heat by the fine China dinner set Your man's caught the chill and it ain't even winter yet

A farmer says, "I got soaked for nothing, stood out there in the rain bang in the middle of my land, a complete waste of time. I'll like to kill the swine who said you can win the Nobel Prize for being out standing in your field!".

The *Mario Party* series is known for its mini-game titles that usually are puns and various plays on words; for example: "Shock, Drop, and Roll", "Gimme a Brake", and "Right Oar Left". These mini-game titles are also different depending on regional differences and take into account that specific region's culture.

Word play can enter common usage as neologisms.

Word play is closely related to word games; that is, games in which the point is manipulating words. See also language game for a linguist's variation.

Word play can cause problems for translators: e.g., in the book *Winnie-the-Pooh* a character mistakes the word "issue" for the noise of a sneeze, a resemblance which disappears when the word "issue" is translated into another language.

title: Mount Zealand

abstract: Mount Zealand, or Zealand Mountain, is a mountain located in the White Mountains, in Grafton County, New Hampshire. Zealand stands on a spur ridge northeast of Mount Guyot, and facing Whitewall Mountain to the east across Zealand Notch. Zealand's south and northeast sides drain into the North Fork Pemigewasset River, thence into the Pemigewasset and Merrimack rivers, reaching the Gulf of Maine in Massachusetts. The west side drains into the Little River, thence into the Ammonoosuc and Connecticut rivers, reaching Long Island Sound in Connecticut. The Twinway, a section of the Appalachian Trail, a 2,186-mile (3,518-km) National Scenic Trail from Georgia to Maine, crosses Zealand. Zealand is a popular hiking destination, with attractions including the Zeacliffs, on the eastern end of its ridgeline, just off the Appalachian Trail, offering dramatic views across Zealand Notch, to the Presidential and Willey Ranges and to Mount Carrigain, as well as Zealand Falls, for which a neighboring Appalachian Mountain Club hut is named, also along the Appalachian Trail, near the notch and downhill to the north from Zeacliffs.

# Mount Zeil

**Mount Zeil** (Western Arrernte: ***Urlatherrke***) (1,531 m or 5,023 ft) is a mountain in the Northern Territory of Australia located in the locality of Mount Zeil in the western MacDonnell Ranges. It is the highest peak in the Northern Territory, and the highest peak on the Australian mainland west of the Great Dividing Range.

## History

It is believed that Mount Zeil was named during or following Ernest Giles's 1872 expedition, probably after Count Karl von Waldburg-Zeil (1841–1890), who had recently distinguished himself with geographic explorations in Spitzbergen; a footnote in Giles' published journal implies that the naming was instigated by his benefactor, Baron Ferdinand von Mueller.

## Indigenous etymology

The name for Mount Zeil in the Western Arrernte language is ***Urlatherrke***, referring to the Yeperenye caterpillars.

title: Women's World Chess Championship 2017

abstract: The Women's World Chess Championship 2017 was a 64-player knock-out tournament, to decide the women's world chess champion. The final was won by Tan Zhongyi over Anna Muzychuk in the rapid tie-breaks. At the FIDE General Assembly during the 42nd Chess Olympiad in Baku in September 2016, the organizational rights to the event were awarded to Iran, who held the Championship in Tehran from 10 February to 4 March 2017. Some top female players decided not to attend the tournament. Hou Yifan, the outgoing women's world champion and top ranked female player, decided not to enter the tournament because of dissatisfaction with FIDE's Women's World Championship system. The 2015 Women's World Champion, Mariya Muzychuk, and US Women's Champion Nazí Paikidze also elected not to attend, out of protest at the tournament's location in Iran, where it is mandatory for all women to wear a hijab in public. Other notable absentees were women's world number four Humpy Koneru and eight-time US Women's Champion Irina Krush. On 12 May 2017 FIDE suspended the Chess Federation of Iran for non-payment of Women's World Championship prizes. On 2 June 2017, the ban was lifted.

# Women's World Chess Championship 2017

The **Women's World Chess Championship 2017** was a 64-player knock-out tournament, to decide the women's world chess champion. The final was won by Tan Zhongyi over Anna Muzychuk in the rapid tie-breaks.

At the FIDE General Assembly during the 42nd Chess Olympiad in Baku in September 2016, the organizational rights to the event were awarded to Iran, who held the Championship in Tehran from 10 February to 4 March 2017.

Some top female players decided not to attend the tournament. Hou Yifan, the outgoing women's world champion and top ranked female player, decided not to enter the tournament because of dissatisfaction with FIDE's Women's World Championship system. The 2015 Women's World Champion, Mariya Muzychuk, and US Women's Champion Nazí Paikidze also elected not to attend, out of protest at the tournament's location in Iran, where it is mandatory for all women to wear a hijab in public (a rule which also applied to the participating players). Other notable absentees were women's world number four Humpy Koneru and eight-time US Women's Champion Irina Krush.

On 12 May 2017 FIDE suspended the Chess Federation of Iran for non-payment of Women's World Championship prizes. On 2 June 2017, the ban was lifted.

## Hosting

The tournament was originally placed on the FIDE calendar for October 2016. However, the March 2016 meeting of the FIDE Presidential Board ultimately postponed the event to 2017 due to the lack of an organizer.

The original agenda for the General Assembly made no explicit mention of Iran, only indicating that the event had been postponed until 2017 due to the lack of an organizer, similar to the situations in 2014 and 2015. When the agenda item (5.20.7) for Women's World Championship came up for discussion in Baku, Iran offered to host the event, and after a brief discussion of the applicable dress code, none of the 159 attending delegates objected. Only when FIDE published the General Assembly decisions two weeks later did the existence of the Iran offer become widely known, and the issue rapidly became explosive, in part due to the social media activity of Nigel Short, who alternatively claimed that awarding the event to Iran was against FIDE Statutes or the Code of Ethics (or founding Principles) of the International Olympic Committee.

Nazí Paikidze, who qualified by finishing tied for 2nd in the 2015 US Women's Championship, was the first female player to protest FIDE's decision to allow Iran to host the event. Through the media she announced that she would not participate most particularly because of Iran's dress code requiring women to wear a hijab, though initially she also secondarily mentioned the risks to Americans and other foreigners of being detained in Iran because of their nationality. In a later petition on Change.org she included a third item, namely that there could be speech restrictions on women.

Chess, like other sports, has had a degree of controversy regarding women's attire. A statement from FIDE Press Officer Anastasiya Karlovich was published at Susan Polgar's site *Chess Daily News* on October 1, 2016, indicating that FIDE has not received any official complaints to date (including from prior women's events held in Iran), but that they would be reviewing all possible solutions for the players’ comfort and would discuss all the issues with the organizers in Iran during meetings in the next few weeks. Polgar requested that concerned participants contact the FIDE Women's Commission, of which she is co-chair.

Emil Sutovsky, the president of the Association of Chess Professionals (ACP), hosted discussions at his Facebook page on the matter, and wrote an official letter to FIDE. He also noted that while he has talked to at least half the participants and the vast majority do not want to boycott, the ACP would respect the rights of others too. Natalia Zhukova, Alexandra Kosteniuk, Anna Muzychuk, and Elisabeth Paehtz have all made public comments to Sutovsky, but none to the degree of Nazí Paikidze. Sutovsky was willing to entertain Nigel Short's claims regarding the illegality of FIDE's actions, but simultaneously would not pursue them (either personally or as ACP president) until a proper legal argument was made on the matter.

ChessBase India interviewed two of the three qualifiers from that country (Harika Dronavalli and Humpy Koneru), each of whom has played in Iran previously. They indicated a degree of awkwardness and discomfort with the physical aspects of the headscarf while playing (as had Zhukova), but declared the World Championship itself to be more important. Later articles quoted Kosteniuk and Koneru expanding on their views, with the former noting that even exercising for fitness in Iran can be difficult for a woman.

*The Guardian* featured 2015 Asian Women's Continental Champion Mitra Hejazipour (of Iran) in an article, describing how a boycott could harm Iranian women's sport. Other Iranian players have also stated that a boycott would not be beneficial to Iranian women.

### Qualification paths

## Prize money

The prize money is US$3,750 for first round losers, $5,500 for second, $8,000 for third, $12,000 for fourth, $20,000 for losing semifinalists, $30,000 for runner-up, and $60,000 for champion ($450,000 overall), with 20% of such sums being taken by FIDE. All players pay their own costs (travel, accommodation and meals) for the duration.

## Final match

The final was the only match of the tournament which consisted of four classical games. Those were played on consecutive days with a rest-day between the semi-final tie-breaks and match 1. Eventual tie-breaks were played on 3 March 2017, in the same manner as the whole tournament. Two rapid games of 25+10 (i.e. 25 minutes for the whole game plus a 10-second increment), the two rapid games of 10+10, two blitz games of 5+3 and an armageddon decider.

Anna Muzychuk, the reigning women's blitz and rapid world champion, had advanced to the final without playing a tie-break. Tan Zhongyi on the other hand played several, including two armageddon matches. One of those was in the semi-final against Harika Dronavalli, who had been knocked out at the semi-final stage for the third straight time. Before the finals, Tan Zhongyi and Anna Muzychuk had met each other just two times at classical time control, with both games ending in a draw.

After a draw in the first game, Tan outplayed her opponent to win game 2. However, Muzychuk came back with a crushing early victory in game 3. Game 4 was a quiet draw, setting the stage for a rapid playoff. In the first pair of rapid games, Tan Zhongyi won the title. Consequently, she was also awarded the Grandmaster title.

# Microcotyle neozealanica

***Microcotyle neozealanica*** is a species of monogenean, parasitic on the gills of a marine fish. It belongs to the family Microcotylidae.

## Taxonomy

*Microcotyle neozealanica* was first described by Dillon & Hargis in 1965 as *Microcotyle neozealanicus*. Caballero y Caballero and Bravo-Hollis erected the genus *Paramicrocotyle* to describe *Paramicrocotyle tampicensis* and *Paramicrocotyle atriobursata* off Mexico, and placed within this genus 16 species previously assigned to the genus *Microcotyle* including *Microcotyle neozealanica*. However, *Microcotyle neozealanica* was returned to the genus *Microcotyle* and *Paramicrocotyle* is considered a junior subjective synonym of *Microcotyle*. *Microcotyle neozealanica* was redescribed by Dillon et *al*., in 1985 from a single specimen from the gills of *Chloropthalmus nigripinnis*. The authors stated that additional specimens from this host were needed to verify this record. According to the World Register of Marine Species *neozealanicus* is a malformed suffix. The current accepted name is *Microcotyle neozealanica*.

## Morphology

*Microcotyle neozealanica* has the general morphology of all species of *Microcotyle*, with an elongate fusiform body provided with a thin and smooth tegument, and comprising an anterior body proper which contains most organs and a posterior part called the haptor. The haptor is symmetrical, not well delineated from body proper, and bears 24–29 pairs of clamps. These clamps are similar in shape, but dissimilar in size. The clamps of the haptor attach the animal to the gill of the fish. There are also two biloculate buccal suckers placed ventrolaterally in the buccal cavity. The digestive organs include an anterior, terminal mouth, a muscular pharynx, and a posterior intestine with two lateral branches provided with medial and lateral ramifications. Each adult contains male and female reproductive organs. The reproductive organs include an anterior genital atrium armed with numerous spines, a dorsal vagina, a single tubular and folded ovary, and a number of follicular testes which are postovarian, and 11–20 in number. The fusiform egg has filaments at both ends.

## Etymology

The specific epithet *neozealanica* refers to New Zealand, the type-locality of this species.

## Hosts and localities

The type-host of *Microcotyle neozealanica* is the red gurnard perch *Helicolenus percoides* (Sebastidae). The type-locality is New Zealand. It was also recorded from *Chlorophthalmus nigripinnis* (currently named *Paraulopus nigripinnis*) (Chlorophthalmidae) off Australia.

Her crew qualified for a clasp to the Naval General Service Medal for her service in the 1801 Egyptian campaign. She returned to mercantile service and apparently was lost in 1805.

## Career

*Good Design* first appeared in *Lloyd's Register* (*LR*) in 1793.

**Hired armed ship:** The Admiralty hired *Good Design* on 2 February 1797. Commander Wilson Rathbone commissioned her in May. In her he convoyed merchant vessels sailing from Leith to the Elbe, or Elsinore. In December 1799 he transferred to the command of HMS *Racoon*.

Commander A.Brown replaced Rathbone. *Good Design* continued on the North Sea station. In February 1801 he received promotion to post-captain. On 14 February 1801 Lieutenant Robert Elliot was promoted to Commander and given command of *Good Design*.

On 24 April *Good Intent* arrived at Plymouth Sound with troops for Jersey and Guernsey. On 4 May she sailed for Jersey with troops from the 9th regiment of Foot. The British government sent the reinforcements in response to reports that French troops were being sent to the coast opposite the Channel Isles and Marcou. *Good Design* arrived back at Spithead from Jersey on 18 May.

On 16 June *Good Design* and *Gorgon* sailed from Cork. They were carrying the 22nd Regiment of Light Dragoons to Egypt. Because *Good Design* served in the navy's Egyptian campaign (8 March to 2 September 1801), her officers and crew qualified for the clasp "Egypt" to the Naval General Service Medal, which the Admiralty issued in 1847 to all surviving claimants. Elliott was one of the officers to whom the Turkish government presented gold medals for their service in Egypt.

On 26 October it was announced at Hull that the hired armed ships *Prince William*, *Good Design*, and *Pomona* were to be paid off at Newcastle following the signing of a treaty at Amiens; hostilities officially had ceased on 22 October. As *Good Design* was in the Mediterranean, she would not be paid off until she returned.

Official records indicate that *Good Design*'s contract ended on 23 January 1802. However, she did not arrive at Portsmouth until 2 February 1802. She had brought troops of the 12th Regiment of Dragoons. She sailed on 6 February for Woolwich to be paid off.

**Mercantile service:** *Good Design* returned to mercantile service, but *Lloyd's Register* did not carry her. The *Register of Shipping*, first published in 1800, did. It had carried her since 1800, but with stale data. (The registers were only as accurate as their owners bothered to keep them.)

*Good Design* started trading with the Baltic. *Good Design*, Fotheringham, master, was reported to have arrived at Gravesend from Memel on 22 July 1803.

## Fate

On 23 March 1805 *Good Design*, Aitkens, master, was driven ashore on the coast of the Isle of Man and was wrecked. Her crew were rescued. She was on a voyage from Liverpool to Riga. She was no longer listed in the 1806 volume of the *Register of Shipping*.
