title: Phyllergates

abstract: The species of tailorbirds listed below are small birds of the genus Phyllergates. They were previously placed in the Old World warbler family Sylviidae. However, recent research suggests they more likely belong in the Cettiidae. They occur in the Old World tropics, principally in Asia. These warblers are usually brightly colored, with green or grey upperparts and yellow white or grey underparts. They often have chestnut on the head. Tailorbirds have short rounded wings, short tails, strong legs and long curved bills. The tail is typically held upright, like a wren. They are typically found in open woodland, scrub and gardens. Tailorbirds get their name from the way their nest is constructed. The edges of a large leaf are pierced and sewn together with plant fibre or spider's web to make a cradle in which the actual grass nest is built.

# Vambu Sandai

***Vambu Sandai*** is a 2008 Indian Tamil-language film starring Uday Kiran, Sathyaraj, and Diya. The film was partially reshot in Telugu as *Lakshmi Putrudu* (translation: *Lakshmi's Son*).

## Plot

Prabhakaran alias Prabhu is a college student who does not allow anyone to do wrong. He quite often argues with others to the point where he is repeatedly arrested. When he was younger his foster father, Nehru, a psychiatrist used to bail him out. In the meantime, Swetha, the sister of the commissioner of police Ravichandran, has been ditching her college classes, so her father has a police escort take her to school. When she tries to escape from her escort, they pursue her. They cross paths with the troublesome Prabhu, who battles them. In the ensuing fight, Prabhu says 'I love you' to Swetha and she is so impressed by his gallantry, she falls in love.

Prabhu then learns that his foster parents are taking him to meet his real father, Jeevanandham, who had been receiving treatment in a mental hospital. He tries to speak with his father, but the man is unresponsive. On the advice of Swetha's father, he takes his father to Kerala for treatment. When there, he meets a former bodyguard of Jeevanandham who tells him that not only was his father the former Election Commissioner, but that his current mental breakdown state was caused by local politician Dharmalingam. Coincidentally, Dharmalingam has been brought to that same Kerala facility by his own son, Narayanan. When Dharmalingam's son learns that his father's former enemy Jeevanandham is still alive, he attempts to kill him.

## Cast

## Production

Filming began in July 2007, and scenes were shot at Pragati Resorts, Ramoji Film City, Necklace Road, Malaysia Township, and Golconda Fort, and ran through August 2007 in other areas around Hyderabad and Kerala, with a then-predicted release date of September 2007. However, by the end of September, the film was still in post-production.

### Music release

Although the film was not released until 29 February 2008, the CD of the song tracks for the Telugu version from the film was released 2 September 2007, which preceded the film's release by 5 months. In a pre-release event for Telugu version titled *Lakshmi Putrudu* held at Ravi Narayana Reddy Kalyanamantapam (Ravi Narayana Reddy Memorial Auditorium Complex) in Hyderabad, Damodar Reddy, the Andhra Pradesh State Minister for Information Technology, officially launched the audio cassette by handing a copy to Tammareddy Bharadwaja and with its first number dedicated to producer Ashok Kumar. Bharadwaja then officially released the audio CDs by giving a copy to A. Mallikarjuna Rao, producer of *Operation Duryodhana*, a biopic film based upon the 2005 sting operation of the same name. Distribution rights to the audio CD for the Telugu version were purchased by Srinivas, a State Trading corporation chairman and former legislator.

## Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by D. Imman. The audio was released on 23 August 2007 with Silambarasan attending as a chief guest.

## Reception

The film opened to mixed reviews. *Kollywood Today* wrote that "If Director Raj Kapoor had concentrated bit on the part of screenplay and presented it in a gripping manner, then things would have been more greater for him. Vambu Sandai is a movie to watch if you need to spend your leisure time…". *BizHat* wrote that "Director Rajkapoor looks still a novice and has to work hard to make his mark as a director. 'Vambu Sandai' is just passable fare". The film took an average opening at the box office. Reviewing the Telugu version, *Lakshmi Putrudu*, *Full Hyderabad* gave the film's rating 1 out of 5 and wrote "Uday Kiran acts the best in the film, and guess that says more about how the others act. There are a few deep lines in the movie, but they are so few that it is not worth wasting (as spending is a word that can't be used in this context) your money, time, or energy, on this film."

title: Zinc finger transcription factor

abstract: Zinc finger transcription factors or ZF-TFs, are transcription factors composed of a zinc finger-binding domain and any of a variety of transcription-factor effector-domains that exert their modulatory effect in the vicinity of any sequence to which the protein domain binds. Zinc finger protein transcription factors can be encoded by genes small enough to fit a number of such genes into a single vector, allowing the medical intervention and control of expression of multiple genes and the initiation of an elaborate cascade of events. In this respect, it is also possible to target a sequence that is common to multiple genes to control the transcription of all these genes with a single transcription factor. Also, it is possible to target a family of related genes by targeting and modulating the expression of the endogenous transcription factor(s) that control(s) them. They also have the advantage that the targeted sequence need not be symmetrical unlike most other DNA-binding motifs based on natural transcription factors that bind as dimers.

# Zinc finger transcription factor

**Zinc finger transcription factors** or **ZF-TFs**, are transcription factors composed of a zinc finger-binding domain and any of a variety of transcription-factor effector-domains that exert their modulatory effect in the vicinity of any sequence to which the protein domain binds.

Zinc finger protein transcription factors can be encoded by genes small enough to fit a number of such genes into a single vector, allowing the medical intervention and control of expression of multiple genes and the initiation of an elaborate cascade of events. In this respect, it is also possible to target a sequence that is common to multiple (usually functionally related) genes to control the transcription of all these genes with a single transcription factor. Also, it is possible to target a family of related genes by targeting and modulating the expression of the endogenous transcription factor(s) that control(s) them. They also have the advantage that the targeted sequence need not be symmetrical unlike most other DNA-binding motifs based on natural transcription factors that bind as dimers.

## Applications

By targeting the ZF-TF toward a specific DNA sequence and attaching the necessary effector domain, it is possible to downregulate or upregulate the expression of the gene(s) in question while using the same DNA-binding domain. The expression of a gene can also be downregulated by blocking elongation by RNA polymerase (without the need for an effector domain) in the coding region or RNA itself can also be targeted. Besides the obvious development of tools for the research of gene function, engineered ZF-TFs have therapeutic potential including correction of abnormal gene expression profiles (e.g., erbB-2 overexpression in human adenocarcinomas) and anti-retrovirals (e.g. HIV-1).

title: Wisconsin's 9th congressional district

abstract: Wisconsin's 9th congressional district was a congressional district of the United States House of Representatives in Wisconsin. It was created following the 1870 census along with the 8th district, and was disbanded after the 2000 census. From 1965 to 2003, the district included most of the western and north-western suburbs of Milwaukee. In its final configuration, it contained all of Washington and Ozaukee counties, most of Dodge and Jefferson counties, the northern and western halves of Waukesha county and the eastern parts of Sheboygan county, including the town itself. It was usually the most Republican district in the state, voting 63% to 34% for George Bush over Al Gore at the 2000 election. The district was also the longest in the state to be represented by a member of the Wisconsin Progressive Party however, when the party briefly surged to dominate Wisconsin’s politics during the 1930s, being represented by Merlin Hull for twelve years until 1947, when he switched to the Republican Party. At the time, the district covered much of the far western part of the state.

# Vehicle Builders' Employees' Federation of Australia

The **Vehicle Builders' Employees' Federation of Australia** (VBEF) was an Australian trade union which existed between 1863 and 1993. It was an industrial union which represented all production employees in the vehicle industry and automotive parts manufacturing industry.

## History

In the late nineteenth century a number of small unions were formed in the Australian colonies to represent skilled coachbuilders in the horse-drawn coach building industry. In NSW a union of coachbuilders was formed in Bathurst in 1863, while a South Australian union was formed in the 1880s, before folding in 1896 due to lack of members. In 1917 the **Australian Coach, Motor Car, Tram Car, Waggon Builders, Wheelwrights' and Rolling Stock Makers' Employees' Federation** was registered federally. During the 1920s the union's membership was transformed as motor cars replaced coaches and carriages, and assembly line methods of production replaced trade-qualified coachbuilders with unskilled or semi-skilled assembly workers. In 1930 it reregistered under the even more cumbersome name of the **Australian Coach, Motor Car, Tram Car, Waggon Builders, Wheelwrights' and Air Craft Rolling Stock Makers' Employees’ Federation**. In 1938 it changed its name to the much simpler Vehicle Builders Employees' Federation.

The union grew rapidly after WWII, due to the growth in the Australian car industry, reaching approximately 30,000 members by the early 1960s. Many of these new members were recent migrants from Europe, termed New Australians, who could easily find unskilled work in the large car assembly plants despite limited English. In 1993 the VBEF merged with the Metals and Engineering Workers Union to form the Automotive Metals & Engineering Union.

# Meldorf

**Meldorf** (Holsatian: *Meldörp* or *Möldörp*) is a town in western Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, that straddles the river Miele in the district of Dithmarschen.

## Overview

Meldorf was first mentioned in writing before 1250 AD. In 1265 it received its municipal rights and served as the capital of Dithmarschen, a peasant republic with Allies in the Hanseatic league dating from 1468. The city was sacked in 1500 AD when King John of the Kalmar Union attempted to conquer the republic. His forces were routed by a force with poor arms and inferior numbers in the Battle of Hemmingstedt. In 1559, the republic was conquered. The city lost its municipal rights again in 1598 and would not regain them until 1870. It was county town until 1970 of the district Süderdithmarschen. After a district reform Süderdithmarschen and Norderdithmarschen merged to Dithmarschen and Meldorf lost the capitalship to the town of Heide.

The St. John's Church (St.-Johannis-Kirche), also called Meldorfer Dom, is the largest church in Dithmarschen, the most important medieval church building at the North Sea coast in Schleswig-Holstein and has a neogothic style.

Meldorf is the seat of the collective municipality *Amt* Mitteldithmarschen.

title: Mazzatello

abstract: The Mazzatello, more properly mazzolatura, was a method of capital punishment occasionally used by the Papal States for the most loathsome crimes, involving the infliction of head trauma. The method was named after the implement used in the execution: a large, long-handled mallet or pollaxe. The last reported use of this form of punishment was in September 1806: the much more common capital punishments inflicted by the Papal States were hanging or beheading. According to author Geoffrey Abbott, mazzatello constituted "one of the most brutal methods of execution ever devised, requiring minimal skill on the part of the executioner and superhuman acquiescence by the victim". Megivern cites mazzatello as one example of an execution method devised by the Papal States that "competed with and in some instances surpassed those of other regimes for cruelty". The condemned would be led to a scaffold in a public square of Rome, accompanied by a priest; the platform also contained a coffin and the masked executioner, dressed in black. A prayer would first be said for the condemned's soul. Then, the mallet would be raised, swung through the air to gain momentum, and then brought down on the head of the prisoner, similar to a contemporary method of slaughtering cattle in stockyards. The condemned was usually knocked unconscious rather than being killed instantly, so the throat of the prisoner would then be slit with a knife. Along with drawing and quartering, mazzatello was reserved for crimes that were considered "especially loathsome". A variation of this method appears in chapter 35 of Alexandre Dumas' novel The Count of Monte Cristo as la mazzolata and mazzolato, when a prisoner sentenced to execution is bludgeoned on the side of his head with a mace.

# Mazzatello

The ***Mazzatello*** (abbreviated ***mazza***), more properly ***mazzolatura*** (*hitting with a mace*), was a method of capital punishment occasionally used by the Papal States for the most loathsome crimes, involving the infliction of head trauma. The method was named after the implement used in the execution: a large, long-handled mallet or pollaxe. The last reported use of this form of punishment was in September 1806: the much more common capital punishments inflicted by the Papal States were hanging or beheading.

Megivern cites *mazzatello* as one example of an execution method devised by the Papal States that "competed with and in some instances surpassed those of other regimes for cruelty".

The condemned would be led to a scaffold in a public square of Rome, accompanied by a priest (the confessor of the condemned); the platform also contained a coffin and the masked executioner, dressed in black. A prayer would first be said for the condemned's soul. Then, the mallet would be raised, swung through the air to gain momentum, and then brought down on the head of the prisoner, similar to a contemporary method of slaughtering cattle in stockyards. The condemned was usually knocked unconscious rather than being killed instantly, so the throat of the prisoner would then be slit with a knife.

Along with drawing and quartering (sometimes, but not always, after a hanging), *mazzatello* was reserved for crimes that were considered "especially loathsome".

A variation of this method appears in chapter 35 of Alexandre Dumas' novel *The Count of Monte Cristo* as *la mazzolata* and *mazzolato*, when a prisoner sentenced to execution is bludgeoned on the side of his head with a mace.

# Wonga Beach, Queensland

**Wonga Beach** is a coastal locality in the Shire of Douglas, Queensland, Australia. The town of **Wonga** is within the locality. In the 2021 census, Wonga Beach had a population of 1,042 people.

## Geography

Wonga Beach is a beachside locality situated between the small residential towns of Rocky Point (sometimes referred to as Dayman Point) and the Daintree township. It is approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) north of the town of Mossman. In 1985 a large volcanic eruption beneath the Coral Sea released thousands of Pumice stones to the ocean surface which were then blown along north Queensland's shore by the trade winds.

## History

Rocky Point State School opened on 23 February 1939, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of the current school at Rocky Point. In 1999, the school was relocated to Wonga Beach and renamed Wonga Beach State School. Most of the Rocky Point school buildings were sold for housing, but one was relocated to Wonga Beach.

## Demographics

In the 2011 census, Wonga Beach had a population of 746 people.

In the 2016 census, Wonga Beach had a population of 975 people.

In the 2021 census, Wonga Beach had a population of 1,042 people.

## Fauna

Birdwatchers visit Wonga Beach to see three uncommon bird species: Gould's bronze cuckoo, double-eyed fig-parrot and the beach stone-curlew. The last species is easily confused with the ubiquitous bush stone-curlew noted for its wailing calls at night.

## Services

A service station is the only fuel outlet in the Daintree Valley and opens early (5:30am) and closes at 8:30pm. In addition to automotive fuels, the service station incorporates a small convenience store with an ATM.

## Education

Wonga Beach State School is a government primary (Prep-6) school for boys and girls at 48-74 Snapper Island Drive (16°20′31″S 145°24′46″E / 16.3419°S 145.4129°E / -16.3419; 145.4129 (Wonga Beach State School)). In 2017, the school had an enrolment of 90 students with 10 teachers (6 full-time equivalent) and 7 non-teaching staff (4 full-time equivalent).

The school is known as a SunSmart school (an initiative of The Cancer Council Australia), enforcing strict rules on UV-protection. The school has a large area of swampland, the maintenance of which has been made a school project, with an 'eco-maze' currently being developed in the site.

School buses run twice daily from New Wonga to Old Wonga, then on to Mossman. These buses are not available to the public.

There are no secondary schools in Wonga Beach. The nearest government secondary school is Mossman State High School in Mossman to the south-west.

# Melford (Mitchellville, Maryland)

**Melford** is a historic plantation house located on the grounds of the Maryland Science and Technology Center, near the intersection of U.S. Route 301 and U.S. Route 50, at Bowie, Prince George's County, Maryland. The house is multi-part, gable-roofed, brick and stone dwelling house constructed probably in the mid-late 1840s, with elements of the Greek Revival style.

## History

The land that made up the Melford plantation was part of a tract, originally called Howerton's Range which was a 400-acre parcel that John Howerton obtained in 1670. It is part of Prince George's County and had historically been inhabited by the Piscataway people, an Algonquin language speaking tribe, as well as the Patuxent people and other Native American groups.

Melford was built by Dr. Richard Duckett in 1810, replacing a previous structure. Dr. Richard Duckett was the brother of Allen Bowie Duckett, and the son of Thomas Duckett, who in 1796 was judge of the Prince George's County Court, and one of the principal slaveholders in the area.

Melford was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

## Grounds

The grounds include three outbuildings: a three-bay gable-roofed slave quarter probably dating from the 18th century; a pyramidal-roofed meat house also dating from the late 18th century; and a 20th-century pyramidal-roofed pump house. The landscape consists of terraced gardens, falling away from the house on three levels. Melford was home for 140 years to two prominent local families, the Ducketts and the Hardestys.

# Valencia Municipality, Carabobo

The **Valencia Municipality** is one of the 14 municipalities (municipios) that makes up the Venezuelan state of Carabobo and, according to the 2011 census by the National Institute of Statistics of Venezuela, the municipality has a population of 829,856. The city of Valencia is the shire town of the Valencia Municipality.

## History

The city of Valencia has been an active participant of Venezuela's history. Valencia was founded by Captain Alonso Díaz Moreno on March 25, 1555  as the locals are proud of reminding visitors, eight years before Caracas. It was the first Spanish settlement in central Venezuela and its official name was *Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Nueva Valencia del Rey*. The infamous conquistador Lope de Aguirre besieged the city in 1561. In 1677 it was raided by French pirates, who burnt down its City Hall, thus destroying many very important documents about the early settlement of Venezuela. The German scientist Alexander von Humboldt visited the city on his trip through the Americas. He reported that at the time of his visit the city had around 6000 to 7000 inhabitants. On June 24, 1821, the Battle of Carabobo was fought on the outskirts of the city, sealing the Independence of Venezuela from imperial Spanish rule.

### Media

The main newspaper servicing Valencia is "The Carabobian" or "Diario El Carabobeño" . In May 2007, many universities in Venezuela, including within Valencia, held demonstrations protesting the non-renewal of the broadcast license of Venezuelan Television station, Radio Caracas Televisión (RCTV). RCTV has been at odds with Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez.

# McLaren Lodge

**McLaren Lodge** is an historic building within Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California, U.S.. Built in 1896, the building served dual use; as the home of the superintendent of the park department John McLaren, until his death in 1943; and also serves as the headquarters for the San Francisco Parks Department (now known as San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department). The building also contains the San Francisco Parks Alliance (formerly San Francisco Parks Trust). It is listed as a San Francisco designated landmark since 1984.

## History

The McLaren Lodge was built in 1896, and designed by architect Edward Robinson Swain. The rustic stone exterior is reminiscent of the earlier Richardsonian Romanesque-era. It is often described as having a MoorishGothic architectural style. It is located at the east end of Golden Gate Park.

The building served as the home of the San Francisco park department’s fifth superintendent John McLaren, until his death in 1943. The building also serves as the headquarters for the San Francisco Parks Department (now known as San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department) since it was built. It was officially named McLaren Lodge by the city parks commission in February 1943, weeks after McLaren's death.

The housing portion of the building contains six bedrooms. From 1943 until May 1950, Julian L. Girod became the sixth superintendent of the park department and moved into the housing portion of the building. After the Girod family left, the building sections were combined to create the newly formed, San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department.

abstract: Carl Meissner's taxonomic arrangement of Dryandra, now Banksia ser. Dryandra, was published in 1856 as part of his chapter on the Proteaceae in A. P. de Candolle's Prodromus systematis naturalis regni vegetabilis. It replaced the 1830 arrangement of Robert Brown, and remained current until superseded by the 1870 arrangement of George Bentham.

# Meissner's taxonomic arrangement of Dryandra

**Carl Meissner's taxonomic arrangement of *Dryandra***, now *Banksia* ser. *Dryandra*, was published in 1856 as part of his chapter on the Proteaceae in A. P. de Candolle's *Prodromus systematis naturalis regni vegetabilis*. It replaced the 1830 arrangement of Robert Brown, and remained current until superseded by the 1870 arrangement of George Bentham.

## Background

The dryandras are a group of proteaceous shrubs endemic to southwest Western Australia. For nearly two hundred years they were considered a separate genus, having been published at that rank in 1810 by Robert Brown. In 2007 it was transferred into the genus *Banksia* as *B.* ser. *Dryandra*. There are now just under 100 species, plus numerous subspecies and varieties.

The first infrageneric arrangement of *Dryandra* was Brown's 1810 arrangement, which listed 13 species, but did not attempt an infrageneric classification. Twenty years later, Brown published a revised arrangement which divided 23 recognised species in three subgenera, and also transferred one of his 1810 *Dryandra* species into a separate genus named *Hemiclidia*. This remained current until 1856, when Meissner's arrangement was published.

## Meissner's arrangement

Meissner's arrangement retained Brown's *Dryandra* and *Hemiclidia*, divided *Dryandra* into three sections, and divided the largest section, *Eudryandra*, into eight unranked groups signified by the symbol "§". 53 species and six varieties were recognised.

Meissner's taxonomic arrangement of *Dryandra* may be summarised as follows:

Genus *Dryandra* (now *Banksia* ser. *Dryandra*) Section *Eudryandra* § *Ilicinæ* *D. praemorsa* (now *B. undata*) *D. praemorsa* var. *elongata* (now *B. undata* var. *undata*) *D. quercifolia* (now *B. heliantha*) *D. cuneata* (now *B. obovata*) *D. floribunda* (now *B. sessilis* var. *sessilis*) *D. floribunda* var. *cordata* (now *B. sessilis* var. *cordata*) § *Runcinatæ* *D. armata* (now *B. armata*) *D. carduacea* (now *B. squarrosa* subsp. *squarrosa*) *D. runcinata* (now *B. r.* subsp. *rufa*) *D. nobilis* (now *B. nobilis*) *D. plumosa* (now *B. plumosa*) § *Serratæ* *D. stupposa* (now *B. stuposa*) *D. serra* (now *B. serra*) *D. mucronulata* (now *B. mucronulata*) *D. foliolata* (now *B. foliolata*) *D. mutica* (now *B. foliolata*) *D. obtusa* (now *B. obtusa*) *D. Baxteri* (now *B. biterax*) *D. formosa* (now *B. formosa*) *D. nivea* (now *B. nivea*) *D. nivea* var. *venosa* (now *B. nivea*) *D. nivea* var. *subevenia* (now *B. dallanneyi* var. *dallanneyi*) *D. brownii* (now *B. brunnea*) *D. lindleyana* (now *B. dallanneyi*) § *Marginatæ* *D. stenoprion* (now *B. stenoprion*) *D. elegans* (now *B. tenuis* var. *tenuis*) *D. pulchella* (now *B. bella*) *D. Kippistiana* (now *B. kippistiana*) *D. Shuttleworthiana* (now *B. shuttleworthiana*) *D. sclerophylla* (now *B. sclerophylla*) *D. squarrosa* (now *B. squarrosa*) § *Pectinatæ* *D. serratuloides* (now *B. serratuloides*) *D. nana* (now *B. nana*) *D. arctotidis* (now *B. arctotidis*) *D. tortifolia* (now *B. tortifolia*) *D. Fraseri* (now *B. fraseri*) *D. cirsioides* (now *B. cirsioides*) § *Decurrentes* *D. seneciifolia* (now *B. seneciifolia*) *D. horrida* (now *B. horrida*) *D. concinna* (now *B. concinna*) *D. vestita* (now *B. vestita*) *D. Hewardiana* (now *B. hewardiana*) *D. longifolia* (now *B. prolata*) *D. comosa* (now *B. comosa*) *D. proteoides* (now *B. proteoides*) *D. tenuifolia* (now *B. tenuis*) *D. ferruginea* (now *B. rufa*) *D. cryptocephala* (now *B. seneciifolia*) § *Acrodontæ* *D. carlinoides* (now *B. carlinoides*) *D. tridentata* (now *B. tridentata*) § *Haplophyllæ* *D. speciosa* (now *B. splendida*) Section *Diplophragma* *D. bipinnatifida* (now *B. bipinnatifida*) *D. Preissii* (now *B. acuminata*) Section *Aphragma* *D. pteridifolia* (now *B. pteridifolia*) *D. pteridifolia* var. *blechnifolia* (now *B. pellaeifolia*) *D. calophylla* (now *B. calophylla*) *D. calophylla* var. *acaulis* (now *B. drummondii* subsp. *drummondii*) *D. nervosa* (now *Banksia alliacea*) *D. drummondii* (now *Banksia drummondii*) Genus *Hemiclidia* *H. Baxteri* (now *Banksia falcata*)

## Legacy

Meissner's arrangement remained current until 1870, when it was superseded by George Bentham's arrangement as published in Volume V of *Flora Australiensis*. Bentham abandoned all of Meissner's infrageneric taxa except Brown's *D.* sect. *Aphragma*. In 1996, however, Alex George published a revised arrangement, resurrecting Brown's *Diplophragma* at subgenus rank, and also Meissner's series *Marginatae*, *Acrodontae*, *Ilicinae*, *Decurrentes*, *Runcinatae* and *Pectinatae*.

In 2007, Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele transferred *Dryandra* into *Banksia*, on the grounds that *Banksia* was paraphyletic with respect to *Dryandra*. Mast and Thiele were not yet ready to proffer an arrangement for the new circumscription of *Banksia*, so as an interim measure they transferred *Dryandra* at series rank, so as to minimise disruption to the nomenclature. Thus the infrageneric arrangement of *Dryandra* has been set aside, at least temporarily, and hence none of Meissner's infrageneric taxa are in current use.

# Mark Francis (artist)

**Mark Francis** (born 1962) is a Northern Irish painter living and working in London, England.

## Life and career

Francis was born in Newtownards, Northern Ireland and studied painting at St. Martin's School of Art (1980–85) before going on to the Chelsea School of Art where he completed his Master of Arts in painting in 1986. Francis has exhibited internationally both individually and in group exhibitions. Indeed, his "practice over the past thirty years has focused on making paintings with singular optical intensity — powerful, apparently abstract combinations of concentrated patterning and stark colour contrasts." As an emerging artist in 1995, Francis was involved in *The Adventure of Painting* at Kunstverein Düsseldorf/Stuttgart, Germany and *From Here* at the Karsten Schubert/Waddington Galleries in London. These shows were pivotal in questioning the role of contemporary painting both in Europe and the UK which consequently led Francis to show in prestigious exhibitions such as *IMMA Glenn Dimplex Award exhibition* Irish Museum of Modern Art (1996), *Absolute Vision; New British Painting in the 1990s* Museum of Modern Art Oxford (1996) and the infamous *Sensation* Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection exhibition (1997). By the year 2000, Francis was invited to exhibit an early career overview *Elements* at Milton Keynes Gallery.

Over the last thirty years, Francis' work has had a strong association with science. Throughout his career, his abstract paintings have continually been informed by the shapes, patterns and visual qualities found by his personal interest in mycology. It is through this abstract language that Francis initiated his platform in the early 1990s to become one of the UK's leading contemporary painters and maintains to be at the forefront of critical evaluation within art shown in publications such as *Painting Today*.

Francis is often characterised by his wet-on-wet painting technique (a technique also used by Gerhard Richter in the 1960s) and his continuous use of grid formations that are present within his paintings. Francis explores the notion of chaos and order through the idea of mapping and how seemingly chaotic and random formations can have a larger, almost incomprehensible working logic. He has moved his research from micro to macro with particular interest in astronomical formations using the process and concept of mapping to combine, connect, mark, relate and explore.

More recently in 2008, Francis' work in *Pulse* Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane marked a crucial move into his work being shown in a public space in a solo exhibition and has continued to show in the public domain with *Arena* at Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Kendal in 2010.

Francis' work is collected by numerous institutions and organisations that include the Irish Museum of Modern Art, the Tate and is represented by Kerlin Gallery,Bernhard Knaus Fine Art and Fox Jensen Sydney and Fox Jensen McCrory, Auckland.

She wrote primarily for the Paris editions of the New York Herald and the Chicago Tribune, and also contributed to the New York Times and as a radio correspondent for NBC News. Birkhead launched her career as a journalist when, as a passenger on the RMS Carpathia, the ship came to the sinking Titanic's rescue in 1912. She gathered extensive accounts of Titanic passengers' experiences for the New York Herald, and was shortly thereafter offered a position at the Herald's Paris newspaper, commonly known as the Paris Herald. Birkhead's reporting on American society in Europe drew so much attention that she was at one point referred to as "the society empress of the American press in Europe".

Birkhead's reporting on American society in Europe drew so much attention that she was at one point referred to as "the society empress of the American press in Europe".

## Biography

May Rule Birkhead was born in 1882 in Louisiana, Missouri, north of St. Louis. Her father was a dentist, and her mother came from a family with long Missouri roots. The family was close friends with that of James Beauchamp "Champ" Clark.

Birkhead was embarking on her first visit to Europe when she had her encounter with the *Titanic*, and after the *Carpathia* returned the *Titanic*'s survivors to New York, she reembarked for Paris, arriving in 1912. She resided in Paris from 1912 until 1940, when she fled the Nazi-occupied city.

She died in New York in 1941, following "a long illness".

## Career

Birkhead's amateur reporting on the *Titanic* disaster so impressed James Gordon Bennett, Jr - owner of the *New York Herald* and the *Paris Herald* \- that when she arrived in Paris in 1912 he immediately offered her a job as society columnist for the paper. She reported on the activities of Americans not just in Paris, but in the French Riviera and other popular destinations for Anglophone residents and visitors across Europe.

When World War I began, Birkhead began covering the activities of General Pershing, her fellow Missourian, for the paper, as well as becoming one of the few female reporters to visit battlefields (albeit after the armistice). After the war she returned to reporting on fashion and society news.

In 1926, Birkhead left the *Paris Herald* to become a society columnist for the *Herald's* rival Paris American newspaper: the *Paris Tribune*. At the *Tribune*, Birkhead's column appeared on the front page of the paper six days a week, until the newspaper was bought by the *Herald* in 1934, becoming the *International Herald Tribune*. After this she wrote as a special correspondent for the *New York Times*, and a radio correspondent for *NBC radio*.

Birkhead retains a reputation as one of the most famous society columnists of all time—appearing as one of only five society columnists named in the *Encyclopedia of American Journalism'*s list that spans two centuries.

## Racing history

Part way through the 1971 Australian Sports Car Championship (ASCC), Pinocchio's Racing Team built a hybrid of the Lola T70 and McLaren M6B Can-Am sports prototypes, and christened the resulting car as the McLaren LT170. The car wore the customer version of the M6 McLaren bodywork, known as the M12. It made its debut in the third round of the series, held at Wanneroo Park, in the hands of Howie Sangster, who took second place and the fastest lap, finishing right behind John Harvey's conventional McLaren M6B. In conjunction with another second earlier in the season with a Matich SR3, Sangster took third in the driver's standings, with 12 points.

Sangster drove the car to victory in the 1972 Western Australian Sports Car Championship, which was also the Wanneroo Park round of the 1972 Australian Sports Car Championship. He finished almost a minute ahead of Stuart Kostera's Matich SR3. He entered the Wanneroo Park round of the 1973 Australian Sports Car Championship as well, but retired from the race.

Bill Maddocks contested the Adelaide round of the 1974 Australian Sports Car Championship with the LT170 and also competed in the final round at Symmons Plains. Maddocks continued to race the car in 1975.
