H. D. Packard

Harrison Daniel Packard (1838 – 13 November 1874) was a surveyor in the early days of the colony of South Australia. He served at Escape Cliffs under B. T. Finniss, and later under G. W. Goyder at Port Darwin.

History
Packard was a son Rev. Daniel Packard (c. 1810 – 12 May 1862) MA (Caius College, Cambridge), rector of Middleton, Suffolk who had been appointed to St Andrew's Anglican Church, Walkerville and his wife Sarah née Devereux (1814 – 9 March 1886) married in December 1835.
They arrived in South Australia by ship Asia in September 1851, accompanied by their large family:  G. A., Sarah Jane, Harrison D., Emily, Francis, A. E., Frederick, John, Alice, and Charles.
Packard joined the South Australian Survey Department in 1855.

In 1864 he was appointed second in command of the "Relief Party" sent to Escape Cliffs at the mouth of the Adelaide River, Northern Territory, to augment Colonel Finniss's expedition, which had been sent there to select and survey the site of a future settlement to be called Palmerston.
The original expedition under Finniss had not proceeded smoothly; little was accomplished due to the inhospitable site and incursions by marauding tribesmen; several men died, and two Aboriginal men were shot dead. The camp was split by jealousies and many left rather than face another wet season.
Packard and his wife, with their baby daughter only a few weeks old, left Port Adelaide on October 1864 for Escape Cliffs, where they remained until the expedition was recalled, somewhat over two years.
On 21 December 1866 his wife gave birth to their second child, Eleanor Devereux Packard, remembered as the first European born in the Northern Territory.

In 1868 he was appointed to the expedition to Port Darwin, under the Surveyor-General G. W. Goyder, and a year later his wife joined him.
In 1870 he was appointed cadet Surveyor and a few years later he was acting Surveyor of the Northern Territory
His wife remained in Darwin until overcome by sickness and disease, she returned home in July 1874.
Packard would have accompanied her could he have obtained leave of absence, but was forced to remain, the two maintaining contact via telegraph.

Packard died in Palmerston Hospital from an ulcerated throat, and was buried that same afternoon.

Recognition
Mount Packard in the Victoria-Daly Shire was named for him by G. G. McLachlan.
Packard Place and Packard Street in Darwin were "named after R. D. Packard, a Surveyor Cadet in A H Smith's No. 3 party with G W Goyder's Expedition of 1869"
This may derive from a newspaper misprint later corrected to H. D. Packard.
Packards Knob (and hence Packard Avenue in Palmerston City) "commemorates Harrison D. Packard, who was one of George W Goyder's cadet surveyors during his 1869 survey expedition"
Packards Rivulet at Koolpinyah "was named by "Fred Litchfield . . . after his colleague, surveyor A. D. Packard, on 15 September 1865 during the Escape Cliffs survey 1864-66."
This can only be a misprint for H. D. Packard.

Family
Rev. Daniel Packard (c. 1810 – 12 May 1862) married Sarah Devereux (1814 – 9 March 1886) in December 1835, emigrated to South Australia 1851. Their children were:

Pyohunsa

P'yohun-sa is a Korean Buddhist temple located on Mount Kumgang, North Korea. Founded in the 7th century under the kingdom of Silla, it is the only one of Mount Kumgang's four great temples to have survived the Korean War. It is listed as National Treasure #97 in that country.

History
Pyohunsa was founded in 670 under the fervently Buddhist kingdom of Silla, who viewed the Kumgang mountains as sacred. Enlarged over the years, it underwent many successive restoration, including one in 1778. Eventually it became known as one of the Four Great Temples of Mount Kumgang, along with Changansa, Singyesa and Yujomsa. Pilgrims were soon flocking to the temple, and eventually, it financed the construction of the smaller Chongyang Temple further up the mountain to accommodate the excess.

During Japanese rule over the Korean peninsula, Mount Kumgang became a major tourist site, and the temple (known by its Japanese pronunciation as Hyōkun-ji) received many visitors to admire its beautiful setting and architecture. Because of this, it underwent significant restoration work funded by this Japanese government during this time.

Pyohunsa was the only one of the four great temples of Mount Kumgang to survive the Korean War. The others were completely destroyed by US bombings of the area, though Singyesa has since been rebuilt. Today, it is still a major point of interest for any visitor to Mount Kumgang.

In the temple's cemetery stands the Stupa of the Venerable Sosan, a Buddhist hermit who organized bands of monks to fight back the invading armies of Japanese warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the Imjin Wars. The stupa is listed as Cultural asset #306.

Abortion in Belgium

Abortion in Belgium was fully legalized on April 4, 1990. Abortion is legal until 12 weeks after conception (14 weeks after the last menstrual period)  it is required for women to receive counseling at least six days prior to the abortion and to check in with her doctor to monitor her health in the weeks after the procedure. Later abortions are permitted if there is a risk to the woman's life or the fetus shows risk of birth defects.
, the abortion rate was 9.2 abortions per 1000 women aged 15–44 years.

1990 liberalization of abortion laws
Prior to 1990, due to the influences of the Catholic Church, Belgium remained one of the few European countries where abortion was illegal. However, abortions were unofficially permitted (and even reimbursed by the mutualities) as long as they were registered as "curettage". It was estimated that 20,000 abortions were performed each year (in comparison to 100,000 births).

When the law liberalizing abortion was enacted, it was controversial to many Belgians. In early 1990, despite the opposition of the ruling Christian Democrats, a coalition of the Socialist and Liberal parties passed a law to partially liberalize abortion law in Belgium. The Belgian bishops appealed to the population at large with a public statement that expounded their doctrinal and pastoral opposition to the law. They warned Belgian Catholics that anyone who co-operated "effectively and directly" in the procurement of abortions was "excluding themselves from the ecclesiastical community." Motivated by the strong stance of the Belgian bishops and the fact that he and his wife Queen Fabiola hadn't been able to get children themselves, King Baudouin notified the Prime Minister on March 30 that he could not sign the law without violating his conscience as a Catholic. Since the legislation would not have the force of law without the king's signature, his refusal to sign threatened to precipitate a constitutional crisis. However, the problem was resolved by an agreement between the king and Prime Minister Martens by which the Belgian government declared the king unable to govern, assumed his authority and enacted the law, after which Parliament then voted to reinstate the king on the next day. The Vatican described the king's action as a "noble and courageous choice" dictated by a "very strong moral conscience." Others have suggested that Baudouin's action was "little more than a gesture", since he was reinstated as king just 44 hours after he was removed from power.

Johnny Guarnieri

John Albert "Johnny" Guarnieri (March 23, 1917 – January 7, 1985) was an American jazz and stride pianist, born in New York City.

Career
Guarnieri joined the George Hall orchestra in 1937. He is perhaps best known for his big band stints with Benny Goodman in 1939 and with Artie Shaw in 1940. Guarnieri is also noted for his embellishment and juxtaposition of jazz with classical piano, such as Scarlatti and Beethoven.

Throughout the 1940s Guarnieri was a busy sideman, recording with artists such as Charlie Christian, Cozy Cole, Ike Quebec, Charlie Kennedy, Hank D'Amico and Ben Webster. He also led his own group called the "Johnny Guarnieri Swing Men" and recorded with them on the Savoy label, a group that included Lester Young, Hank D'Amico, Billy Butterfield and Cozy Cole. He also led a trio in the 1940s composed of himself, Slam Stewart and Sammy Weiss, recording again for Savoy. During the 1940s he also recorded for the short-lived Majestic label, playing solo piano and with his trio.

In the 1940s he also played harpsichord in the Gramercy Five, a small band led by Artie Shaw; his solos were the first recorded on that instrument in jazz.

On 1946 Guarnieri's trio was broadcast twice by the BBC Home Service in the UK in a short series highlighting American, British and French jazz artists dubbed as KINGS OF JAZZ. The Friday 18 January and Friday
29 March episodes featured his trio with Guarnieri (piano), Slam Stewart (bassI, and Sidney Catlett (drums), and was introduced by Alistair Cooke.

In 1949 Guarnieri recorded an album with June Christy entitled June Christy & The Johnny Guarnieri Quintet. In his later years Guarnieri shifted more toward jazz education. In commemoration of his reputation as a teacher, Guarnieri's students financed a label for him called "Taz Jazz Records". In the 1970s Guarnieri recorded numerous albums on his new label, and until 1982 worked at the "Tail of the Cock" nightclub in Studio City, California. In the early 1980s, Guarnieri recorded Johnny Guarnieri Plays Duke Ellington on a Bösendorfer Grand "SE" player piano, for the Live-Performance Jazz Series.

Death
Guarnieri was based in Los Angeles later in his life, but traveled to the East Coast to play a concert in January 1985. He played at the Vineyard Theatre at East 26th Street in New York City on January 6, but had to stop at the intermission because of dizziness. He went to a friend's house to rest, but was admitted to St Barnabas hospital in Livingston, New Jersey the following day, where he died following a heart attack.

Personal life
He was survived by his wife, Jeanne, six children, and 18 grandchildren.

Café Museum

Café Museum is a traditional Viennese café located in the Innere Stadt first district in Vienna, Austria. The café opened in 1899. The original interior was designed by renowned architect Adolf Loos. The café became a meeting place for Viennese artists.

Location
The café is situated on the ground floor of the corner Friedrichstraße 6 / Operngasse 7 in the first district in Vienna, Austria. The following places are close by: Naschmarkt, Karlsplatz, St. Charles’s Church, Secession Building, Academy of Fine Arts.

History

Café Museum was established in a building designed in 1872 by Otto Thienemann. Ludwig Frisch, who opened the café in 1899, chose the name referring to the Café zum Museum, which is located next to Kunsthistorisches Museum.

The furnishings of the café were influenced by the simple and sober style, which was expressed with bentwood chairs made by the firm Gebrüder Thonet. In view of this, Ludwig Hevesi created the nickname Café Nihilismus (café nihilism) for the café. Even the front is held in a very simple style – nowadays you can only see the golden letters “Café Museum” on a white background.

At the beginning of the 1930s the architect Josef Zotti, a student of Josef Hoffmann, redesigned the café. He installed lodges and half-round sofas with red pleather along the walls. Hence he created a living room atmosphere that stood in contrast to the earlier design.

After the renovation in 2003, which reconstructed Loos’ original design, some of the original items made by Zotti can be found in the Viennese Imperial Furniture Collection. The Loos-reconstruction was criticized for the lack of authenticity and the uncomfortable furnishings.

The cafe was again remodeled in 2003 and no longer retains the interior as designed by Adolf Loos. At the end of 2009, Café Museum was closed until its operation was resumed by Irmgard and Berndt Querfeld in the summer of 2010.

Details

Interior furnishing
Adolf Loos, architect of the café´s original furnishings, had the opinion that an architect had to focus on the functional aspects and not on the artistic ones. He concentrated on a very plain design for the Café Museum, which was revolutionary in the time of its opening.

When the café was renovated in 2010, the architect Peter Schwarz followed the original design of Josef Zotti. The half-round sofas are not covered with red pleather as in the original Zotti-design but with red velvet. Also the metal lamps made out of chromium-nickel steel, which reflect the interior of the café, were restored. The light source is inside of the globe, which has an aperture at the top. The light is reflected by the smaller half globe that is attached to the ceiling above the lamp. Nowadays the café can seat 207 guests.

Coffee House Readings
The Café Museum offers regular readings since October 2011. The authors, who have held readings, include Daniel Glattauer,  Christine Nöstlinger, Franzobel, Lisa Lercher, Armin Thurnher, Susanne Scholl, Gerhard Loibelsberger and Elfriede Hammerl.

Famous Guests
Regular guests of the café in the early twentieth century included Peter Altenberg, Joseph Schmidt, Richard Tauber, Alban Berg, Hermann Broch, Elias Canetti, Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Karl Kraus, Franz Lehár, Robert Musil, Leo Perutz, Joseph Roth, Roda Roda, Egon Schiele, Georg Trakl, Otto Wagner, Franz Werfel and Ernst Jandl.

New South Wales 40 class locomotive

The 40 class were a class of diesel locomotives built by Montreal Locomotive Works, Canada for the New South Wales Government Railways in 1951/52.

History
The 40 class were the first mainline diesel electric locomotives to be built for the New South Wales Government Railways. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1951/52, they were based on the ALCO RSC-3 design.

There were subtle deviations from the standard RSC-3 built by the American Locomotive Company. These included cab sides that angled inwards from just below the cab window-sill level upwards to reduce the width of the locomotive at the eaves of the cab roof, and placement of the handrails on the car body rather than the standard walkway arrangement.

They were originally used on heavy freight services from Sydney to Broadmeadow and later on North Coast services to Brisbane and Main South line services to Albury. All were delivered in grey undercoat and painted in verdant green at Eveleigh Carriage Workshops. For the 1954 Royal Tour of Queen Elizabeth II 4001 and 4002 were repainted blue. In the 1960s all were repainted Indian red.

With major electrical work required and their lack of power compared to other diesels, the 40 class were withdrawn from May 1968 with the last being taken out of service in December 1971. Some had parts recycled in to the new build 442 class locomotives.

Preservation
The NSW Rail Museum preserved 4001. It was returned to traffic in October 2010 painted in the blue livery it received in 1954 to haul the Royal Train. Robe River Iron Associates purchased 4002 and 4006 for use on construction trains and later as shunters in the Pilbara region of Western Australia where they were renumbered 9405 and 9401. These were withdrawn in 1979 with 4002 donated to the Pilbara Railways Historical Society and returned to working order while 4006 was donated to the Wickham Lions Club and placed on a plinth at the tourist information bay.

Modeling
The 40 class was produced in HO scale as two different runs of brass models by David Anderson. They are produced as ready to run by Eureka Models. It was released in late 2017. A representation of the 40 class has previous been made by modifying an Atlas RSD-4/5 model both in HO and later in O scale, primarily by replacing the cab and making several detail changes, though retaining the incorrect unequal axle spacing of the Co type bogie instead of the correct A1A type.

Gopichand Lagadapati

Gopichand Lagadapati (), also known as Gopi, is an Indian film actor, writer, director and producer. He made his acting debut in the Telugu film Anand, directed by Sekhar Kammula, and debuted as a producer on the film Mr. Medhavi.

Early life
Lagadapati was born in India. His father, Sangaiah Lagadapati, is a Telugu professor. Lagadapati did his graduation in Hotel Management from a college affiliated with Osmania University, Hyderabad. His maternal grandfather Ramarao Bodduluri is a former Member of the Andhra Pradesh Legislature from Jaggayyapet constituency.

Career

Film
Lagadapati was introduced to film making while working on the film Preminchi Choodu. He joined as a part of the crew, helping to develop the script. Lagadapati's participation was limited to the pre-production because he was studying. The film production was abandoned but it gave him an insight into screenwriting. He got his next acting opportunity in the film Anand, which was directed by Sekhar Kammula. Anand was his first mainstream commercial film after his graduation. Lagadapati was introduced to Kammula by his friends, who then assisted him. After a brief audition, Kammula offered Lagadapati to portray a character who struggles to choose between living his dreams and the dreams of his love interest. Most of Lagadapati's scenes were edited and the running time of Anand was reduced from 210 minutes to 180 minutes for the theatrical release, while few scenes were later added to its DVD release.

Lagadapati's next film was Rendella Tharuvatha. Along with two other newcomers he played one of the main leads. Veteran actor Sarath Babu played an important character in this film. Rendella Tharuvatha received mixed responses but was a commercial failure at the box office. He next appeared in an Indian English film, On the Other Side which was released in US. On the Other Side was selected as the best movie of the year 2007 at Harlem International Film Festival, New York. The film was released with the name Indian Beauty in Telugu. Lagadapati co-starred with renowned Tollywood actors Tanikella Bharani and Bramhanandam.

In 2007, Lagadapati produced his first film, Mr. Medhavi in 2007, released in 2008. Initially he joined G. Neelakanta Reddy to assist, but got so involved in the development of the script that he ended up producing this film. His grandfather RamaRao Bodduluri backed him in the making of this film. The cast on Mr. Medhavi includes Genelia D'Souza, Sonu Sood, Raja Abel, Bramhanandam, Tanikella Bharani, Suman and Dharmavarapu Subramanyam. The film was critically acclaimed but remained a commercial failure at the box office. His next film was Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain where he experienced world cinema by being a part of a Hollywood crew. This film stars Martin Sheen, Kal Penn, Mischa Barton, Rajpal Yadav and Tannishtha Chatterjee.

Lagadapati assisted Apoorva Lakhia on the film Zanjeer, a remake of one of the 1973 film of the same name. It features Ram Charan, Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt, Prakash Raj, Mahie Gill. Srihari played the role of Sherkhan in the Telugu version Thoofan, portrayed by Dutt in Hindi. Lagadapati was due to make his directorial debut with his controversial political thriller Prajatantra in December 2012, but has postponed this project and opted out of the production house because it lacks sufficient funds to produce this film.

Television
Lagadapati became interested in writing because of the literary environment around him since his childhood. Raju, who frequently visited his grandfather, asked Lagadapati to work with him & also offered him a major role in a television series named PriyaNestam; it was Lagadapati's acting debut. PriyaNestam starred Maharshi Raghava, Vinod, and Hema. It was aired on Gemini TV in 2001.

In 2004, Lagadapati joined the program City Beats, which aired on Tv9, as a script writer for two months before quitting. Lagadapati was neither paid nor credited for the episodes he worked on, but used this show to understand the technical aspects of television.

In 2009, Lagadapati was approached to write a philosophical drama for Onenessfilms. He was initially opposed to writing it because it was a self-portrayal of the self-claimed God men, but finally had agreed for his friend, who wanted directing experience. This hour-long film was aired in Bakthi TV as Blessing in Disguise. Lagadapati played a cameo role in this short film. In 2010, Lagadapati worked on two episodes of the television series Adventures in Odyssey (Ek Romanchit Yatra), an adaptation of an American radio series.

Lagadapati has written local commercials, including one for "Yoplait"his first international commercialassisting Shahar Segal. In 2011, he worked on some promotional events for Zee TV shows such as Dance India Dance, Jhansi Ki Rani, Shobha Somnath Ki, Sanskaar Laxmi, Yahaaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli.

Florent Du Bois de Villerabel

Florent Michel Marie Joseph du Bois de la Villerabel (St. Brieuc 29 Sept 1877 - St. Brieuc 7 Feb 1951), archbishop of Aix, Arles and Embrun (1940 - 1944), was the most prominent of seven French mainland or colonial bishops who in the aftermath of the Liberation were obliged to submit their resignations to Pope Pius XII. It had been suggested that more prelates should resign, but the diplomatic skills of the nuncio Cardinal Roncalli reduced the resignations, together with the appointment of a coadjutor to Msgr Serrand, bishop of St. Brieuc and Tréguier, and the exclusion of the then archbishops of Reims and Bordeaux from any future appointments as cardinals.

Villerabel had notably opposed La Voix du Vatican, which was critical of the Vichy government, leading to a disagreement with Cardinal Suhard. His retirement (when he resumed his former titulature of Aenos or Enos which he had held as auxiliary bishop to the archbishop of Tours from 1920 to 1940) was spent at Solesmes Abbey and at St. Brieuc.

Other bishops constrained to resign included Msgrs. Dutoit of Arras, Auvity of Mende, and Beaussart, auxiliary of Paris (who ironically had welcomed General De Gaulle at Notre-Dame in 1944 in place of Cardinal Suhard, the archbishop, who was not at that particular moment in the General's favours).

Villerabel had been consecrated by his cousin, André du Bois de la Villerabel, bishop of Amiens, subsequently Archbishop of Rouen and Primate of Normandy, a post from which he resigned in 1936 after a case of embezzlement by a priest on his staff.

Lynn Johnston

Lynn Johnston,  (born May 28, 1947) is a Canadian cartoonist, known for her newspaper comic strip For Better or For Worse.  She was the first woman and first Canadian to win the National Cartoonist Society's Reuben Award.

Early life
Born Lynn Ridgway in Collingwood, Ontario, she was raised in North Vancouver, British Columbia. She attended the Vancouver School of Art (now Emily Carr University of Art and Design) with hopes of making a living as an artist. After working briefly in animation, most notably as an uncredited cel colorist on The Abbott and Costello Cartoon Show , she married in 1969 and moved back to Ontario, where she worked as a medical artist at McMaster University for five years.  Johnston's illustrations are in storage in McMaster's medical archive.  They include depictions of routine hospital happenings, such as a father smoking in the waiting room.

While expecting her first child, she drew single-panel cartoons for the ceiling of her obstetrician Murray Enkin's office. Those drawings were published in her first book, David, We're Pregnant! which was published in 1973 under her then name of Lynn Franks (and subsequently republished under the name of Lynn Johnston) and became a best seller. After her divorce, she did freelance commercial and medical art in a studio converted from a greenhouse. Hi Mom! Hi Dad!, a sequel to David, was published in 1975. Shortly thereafter, she met and married dental student Rod Johnston.

For Better or For Worse

In 1978, the Johnstons and their two children relocated to Lynn Lake, Manitoba. She was asked by Universal Press Syndicate if she was interested in doing a comic strip. She sent twenty copies of a strip called The Johnstons, based on her family "since we were the only people I knew I could draw over and over again with some consistency." Much to her surprise, the syndicate approved of the initial strips and offered her a twenty-year contract. After a six-month "work-up" period, the strip first appeared in newspapers throughout Canada under the title For Better or For Worse. The strip has been carried by about 2000 newspapers in Canada, the U.S. and 20 other countries.

Many story lines draw from her family's real-life experiences. Her main characters are named after the middle names of her husband and children, with the exception of the mother, as Lynn Johnston has no middle name. Instead, she elected to name the protagonist Elly, in honor of a friend of hers who died at a young age. Her brother-in-law Ralph Johnston inspired the controversial story about Lawrence's coming out. Deanna was based on Aaron's high school sweetheart, who died in a car accident years after their relationship ended. Johnston's niece Stephanie is developmentally handicapped and her experience is shared in recent story lines on the integration of developmentally handicapped students in April's class. Elizabeth's teaching career was based on daughter Kate's decision not to pursue a career in education, but provided Johnston with a chance to imagine how that might have turned out.

The characters in For Better of For Worse have aged in "real time". On August 31, 2008, Johnston herself appeared in the Sunday strip, which was supposed to be the end of the cartoon, and announced that she would take the story back nearly 30 years to soon after its beginning, with half of the material to be new and the other half repeats.  The "new" material was actually reworked versions of older strips with retouched artwork and new dialogue that was sometimes only tweaked to use modern expressions or product names in place of older ones. On seldom occasion an entire strip or a panel has been redone, such as Michael or Elizabeth spanked being turned into a "time out". One spanking strip that remained was a story arc where Michael was spanked by John for hitting another child, and it percolating into a discussion with Elly that she disagreed that spanking was the proper remedy (although she agreed with John that Michael's violent attitude had to be nipped in the bud). Other strips, such as Elly getting annoyed and then hurling something at the back of John's head (such as a coffee cup) were also censored. As the strip was a family strip, issues of throwing a hard object behind someone's back raised issues of spousal abuse.

Personal life
Since the 1990s, Johnston has been notably forthcoming in her discussion of the abuse inflicted on her by her mother and her first husband, and being unprepared to be a mother to her son Aaron—topics that have also been reflected in the strip. A column by Jan Wong of The Globe and Mail, reprinted in Lunch With Jan Wong, notably portrayed Johnston as somewhat difficult and irascible.

Johnston resided in the Northern Ontario town of Corbeil for many years during For Better or For Worses run. Her daughter Katie also lived in Corbeil and worked at the For Better or For Worse studio, while her son Aaron works in the television industry in Vancouver, BC. In September 2007, Lynn and Rod Johnston announced their separation and intention to divorce. Johnston had talked about either ending For Better or For Worse or handing it off to another cartoonist, but changed her mind as a result of her split from her husband of over 30 years.  In September 2008, For Better or For Worse transitioned into a unique mix of straight re-runs, and strips that featured original 1980s artwork (sometimes slightly retouched) but new dialogue by Johnston to reflect societal and technological changes.

In September 2015, Johnston and her daughter moved back to North Vancouver.

Johnston had a close friendship with Charles M. Schulz, creator of Peanuts. She wrote the introduction to one of the volumes of Fantagraphics Books' series The Complete Peanuts.

On 13 March 2014, Library and Archives Canada announced that it had acquired material to add to its Johnston collection, including 3282 drawings, 296 watercolours, 244 photographs, about 3.5 m of textual items, and a few other objects.

Jeff Godfrey

Jeffrey Godfrey IV (born January 1, 1992) is an American football wide receiver who is currently a free agent. Godfrey played for the University of Central Florida Knights. He led the Knights to the Conference USA Championship in his freshman year (2010), becoming the first true freshman quarterback to win an FBS conference championship game.

Following his sophomore year, Godfrey transitioned to the wide receiver position.

Early life
Godfrey was born to Jeffrey Godfrey, Jr., and Roshanda Spencer in Miami, Florida on January 1, 1992. Godfrey attended high school at Miami Central High School, located in Miami, Florida. He graduated as the leading passer in Miami-Dade County history with 7,251 yards, beating the previous record set by Jacory Harris of Miami Northwestern. In high school, Godfrey was rated as one of the top quarterbacks in Florida, and amongst the nation's top 10 dual-threat quarterbacks. Due to his performance, Godfrey has been called "Mr. Dade Football".

During his senior year, he committed to UCF. He chose the Knights over Florida State, Miami, Georgia, Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, USF and FIU.

College career

2010

Jeff Godfrey enrolled as a freshman in January 2010, and participated in spring practice. At the start of the season he was second on the depth chart behind starting junior quarterback Rob Calabrese.

In his first appearance, Godfrey took over during an opening-game rout of South Dakota, going 6-of-7 for 65 passing yards and a touchdown. He would then replace Calabrese the next week while UCF was losing to NC State. He stepped in with 5:17 to go in the third quarter, the Knights down 28–7, and led UCF on two touchdown drives to pull within one score. A fumble by one of his receivers on the third drive ended their comeback hopes with a 28–21 loss. Godfrey went 7-of-10 for 107 yards, and rushed for 53 yards, scoring both touchdowns himself.

Godfrey became the starting quarterback in the third game of the season against Buffalo, but with the understanding that he would still be splitting time with Rob Calabrese. Head coach George O'Leary felt it was important for Godfrey to watch a more experienced quarterback work as well before giving him full control of the offense. Godfrey ended up 15-of-24 with 130 passing yards, and rushed for 44 more yards.

Initially, Godfrey allowed the Knights' rushing offense to do the heavy lifting while he continued to develop his passing attack as a true freshman. During a game against UAB, Godfrey took a hard hit, forcing Calabrese to step in for the remainder of the drive. Godfrey would return and finish the game.

During UCF's game against Marshall on October 13,  Calabrese was brought in to run a "Wild Knight" play, UCF's take on the Wildcat formation. He scored a touchdown, but tore his ACL in the process, firmly establishing Godfrey as starter for the remainder of the season. When UCF hosted Rice on October 23, Godfrey threw his first touchdown pass since the opener, and finished 13-of-18 for 178 yards. From there he would take full control of the UCF offense, scoring two passing touchdowns in each of the next five games, while only throwing 2 interceptions the rest of the way. His signature game as a freshman would come against Houston on November 5, where he would go 15-of-19 for 294 yards with two passing touchdowns, and rush for 105 yards–his first 100-yard rushing game at UCF–with one touchdown.

As a starter, Godfrey went 8–2 in the regular season placing UCF in both the AP Poll and USA Today Poll for the very first time in the program's history. He also led the Knights to the Conference USA title against SMU earning them an invitation to the 52nd Annual AutoZone Liberty Bowl, A clash between the Georgia Bulldogs(SEC) and the UCF Knights (C-USA) with a final score of 10–6 UCF's first ever bowl win. He finished the season completing 159-of-238 passes for 2,159 yards with 13 TDs and 6 INTs, and rushed for 556 yards and 10 more touchdowns. All those numbers are second-most for a true-freshman starter in UCF history behind Daunte Culpepper. His 105-yard rushing game against Houston was the highest rushing total for any quarterback; he had surpassed Culpepper's record earlier in the season. Godfrey exceeded a 200 passer rating four times, and only went under 100 twice. He ended up winning the Conference USA Freshman of the Year award.

2011

Before the 2011 season, Godfrey was placed on the watch list for the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award, which is given to the nation's best quarterback.

After leading the Knights to a 5–7 record in 2011, Godfrey requested his release from the team, which was granted by Head Coach George O'Leary. Godfrey was allowed to rejoin the team in April 2012, though he switched positions to become a wide receiver.

Statistics

Professional career
In 2018, Godfrey signed with the Orlando Apollos of the AAF for the 2019 season. He was waived/injured before the start of the 2019 regular season and subsequently placed on injured reserve after clearing waivers. He was waived from injured reserve on March 26, 2019.

Microplate

A  microplate or microtiter plate (spelled Microtiter is a registered trade name in the United States), microwell plate, multiwell, is a flat plate with multiple "wells" used as small test tubes.  The microplate has become a standard tool in analytical research and clinical diagnostic testing laboratories.  A very common usage is in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the basis of most modern medical diagnostic testing in humans and animals.

A microplate typically has 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 384 or 1536 sample wells arranged in a 2:3 rectangular matrix. Some microplates have been manufactured with 3456 or 9600 wells, and an "array tape" product has been developed that provides a continuous strip of microplates embossed on a flexible plastic tape.

Each well of a microplate typically holds somewhere between tens of nanolitres to several millilitres of liquid. They can also be used to store dry powder or as racks to support glass tube inserts. Wells can be either circular or square. For compound storage applications, square wells with close fitting silicone cap-mats are preferred. Microplates can be stored at low temperatures for long periods, may be heated to increase the rate of solvent evaporation from their wells and can even be heat-sealed with foil or clear film. Microplates with an embedded layer of filter material were developed in the early 1980s by several companies, and today, there are microplates for just about every application in life science research which involves filtration, separation, optical detection, storage, reaction mixing, cell culture and detection of antimicrobial activity.

The enormous growth in studies of whole live cells has led to an entirely new range of microplate products which are "tissue culture treated" especially for this work. The surfaces of these products are modified using an oxygen plasma discharge to make their surfaces more hydrophilic so that it becomes easier for adherent cells to grow on the surface which would otherwise be strongly hydrophobic.

A number of companies have developed robots to specifically handle microplates. These robots may be liquid handlers which aspirate or dispense liquid samples from and to these plates, or "plate movers" which transport them between instruments, plate stackers which store microplates during these processes, plate hotels for longer term storage, plate washers for processing plates, plate thermal sealers for applying heat seals, de-sealers for removing heat seals, or microplate incubators to ensure constant temperature during testing. Instrument companies have designed plate readers which can detect specific biological, chemical or physical events in samples stored in these plates.

Manufacture and composition
Microtiter are manufactured in a variety of materials. The most common is polystyrene, used for most optical detection microplates. It can be coloured white by the addition of titanium dioxide for optical absorbance or luminescence detection or black by the addition of carbon for fluorescent biological assays. Polypropylene is used for the construction of plates subject to wide changes in temperature, such as storage at -80 °C and thermal cycling. It has excellent properties for the long-term storage of novel chemical compounds. Polycarbonate is cheap and easy to mould and has been used for disposable microplates for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method of DNA amplification. Cyclo-olefins are now being used to provide microplates which transmit ultraviolet light for use in newly developed assays. There are also microplates constructed from solid pieces of glass and quartz for special applications.

The most common manufacturing process is injection molding, using materials such as polystyrene, polypropylene and cyclo-olefin for different temperature and chemical resistance needs. Glass is also a common material, and vacuum forming can be used with many other plastics such as polycarbonate. Composite microplates, filter bottom plates, solid phase extraction (SPE) plates, and even some advanced PCR plate designs use multiple components which are moulded separately and later assembled into a finished product. ELISA plates may now be assembled from twelve separate strips of eight wells, making it easier to only partially use a plate.

There are a multitude of formats, with the same footprint but different numbers of wells and heights.

The wells are available in different shapes:
-F-Bottom: flat bottom
-C-Bottom: bottom with minimal rounded edges
-V-Bottom: V-shaped bottom
-U-Bottom: U-shaped bottom

The standardization of the microwell plates is made by the Society for Biomolecular Sciences with the ANSI-Standards (ANSI/SBS 1-2004, ANSI/SBS 2-2004, ANSI/SBS 3-2004, ANSI/SBS 4-2004)

History

The earliest microplate was created in 1951 by a Hungarian, Dr. Gyula Takátsy, who machined 6 rows of 12 "wells" in Lucite.  However, common usage of the microplate began in the late 1980s when John Liner introduced a molded version. By 1990 there were more than 15 companies producing a wide range of microplates with different features. It was estimated that 125 million microplates were used in 2000 alone. The word "Microtiter" is a registered trademark of Cooke Engineering Company, and Thermo Electron OY is the last listed owner of the trademark (.) It is now more usual to use the generic term "microplate".

Other tradenames for microplates include Viewplate, Unifilter introduced in the early 1990s by Polyfiltronics and sold by Packard Instrument which is now part of Perkin Elmer.

In 1996, the Society for Biomolecular Screening (SBS), later known as Society for Biomolecular Sciences, began an initiative to create a standard definition of a microtiter plate. A series of standards was proposed in 2003 and published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) on behalf of the SBS. The standards govern various characteristics of a microplate including well dimensions (e.g. diameter, spacing and depth) as well as plate properties (e.g. dimensions and rigidity) (typical dimension ~5"x3.33"), which allows interoperability between microplates, instrumentation and equipment from different suppliers, and is particularly important in laboratory automation. In 2010, the Society for Biomolecular Sciences merged with the Association for Laboratory Automation (ALA) to form a new organisation, the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS). Henceforth, the microplate standards are known as ANSI/SLAS standards.

General Host

General Host Corp. (formerly known as General Baking Company) was a New York-based food and food-related company. It was also the owner of Frank's Nursery & Crafts until the company's bankruptcy in 2004.

History

Early years and Bond Bread

The history of General Host is traced to June 1911, when the General Baking Co. was incorporated in New York as an amalgamation of 21 baking companies from 12 different states, through the merger of the Brunner, Collins and Ontario Baking Companies. The footprint of the new company consisted of no more than two facilities in each city in which it is present. From its inception, the company was publicly traded, beginning with a  stock on the New York Stock Exchange, and  bond offering. The newly formed company was led by William B. Ward, who had run the Ward Baking Company's factory in the Bronx. Upon formation, it controlled 20 percent of the American bread market. Immediately after formation, the company's first acquisition took place, that of Louisville-based Grocers' Baking Company and its subsidiary, Grocer's Biscuit Company. In 1912, Frank R. Shepherd and William H. Collins, former manager of Collins Baking Company, were the company's vice-president and president, respectively, while Lewis J. Kolb was the chairman of the company's board.

In 1917, the company had plants in 27 cities, including a couple of plants around Boston, New York, operating under the names Fox Bakery and Ferguson Baking Company; Deininger and Rochester Baking Companies in Rochester, New York; and Collins and Brunner Baking Companies in Buffalo, New York.

The company operated 40 bakeries by 1922 and was the largest wholesale bakery in the New York metropolitan area; including Dexter's Bakery of Springfield, Vermont, which was a strategic purchase to penetrate Central New England. A three way,  merger in 1925 among General Host (then General Baking Company), Ward Baking Company and Continental Baking Company enlarged the company further, leading to a 10% stake in the United States national bread business and 157 plants (18 from Ward, 33 from General and 106 from Continental). Coincident with the announcement of this merger, Paul H. Helms was named President of General, and the company was re-incorporated in Baltimore, Maryland.  By 1930 the company owned 50 plants serving cities in 18 states. 1931 found the first addition of Vitamin D into the bread making process, which baking and packaging took place the night before delivery at the time, using a method developed by the Paediatric Research Foundation of Toronto and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation. Also in 1931, the company recapitalized, eliminating a holding company, General Baking Corporation, and converting all stock to holdings in the core company, General Baking Company, which would be traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

The production of bread, sold under the trade name of "Bond Bread", accounted for over 90 percent of its sales and production averaged nearly 1.5 million loaves per day. In 1923, Bond Bread was noted as the best-selling brand of bread in the United States. The Bond Bread formula, established circa 1915, was based on the review of 43,040 contest participants who sent the company recipes and samples of their home made bread making. The addition of Vitamin D to the recipe in 1931 was the first change to this formula introduced. The company's brands also included "Mothers Bread", "Bond Rye Bread" and "Butter Krust Bread". One of the company's biggest competitors was Continental Baking which sold its main product under the name Wonder Bread.

1950s and 1960s
The company became the owners of Van de Kamp's in 1956 after the death of that bakery's founder. The purchase expanded General Baking to the west coast. By the 1960s, the company had increased competition due to other baking conglomerates and supermarkets that began installing on-site bakeries.

Around 1966, General acquired two hotels located in Yellowstone Park, operated by the company's wholly owned subsidiary Yellowstone Park Company:  Old Faithful Inn and Lake Hotel.

By 1967, the company made a  profit off of  in sales.

In 1969, General and several other baking companies were found guilty of and fined in U.S. District Court for price fixing bread in the Philadelphia area, a practice that took place between 1964 and 1968, the indictment having been served 13 March 1968.

The company continued acquiring properties in the 1970s, for instance acquiring a chain of pretzel stands, Hot Sam, which was started in Detroit by Russian immigrant Julius Young in 1966.

With respect to governance, the company's president as of 1967 was Harris J. Ashton.  Two years later, Richard Pistell was president, and Ashton would go on to become chairman of the company.

1970s Expansion to meatpacking and frozen foods
The company owned several food companies by the 1970s, and the company began venturing into meatpacking and frozen foods, restaurants and hospitality. General also attempted a hostile takeover of the large meatpacking concern Armour and Company in 1969 and was able to acquire a controlling interest in the company.  The takeover which was met with lawsuits filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Despite holding 57% of Armour's stock, General was unable to establish final control of the company and ended up selling its stake to Greyhound in 1970. With the proceeds of the Armour stake sale, General went on to buy the pork processing concern, Cudahy Packing Company.

By 1972, General had more than doubled its 1967 sales figure, to .

General sold off the majority of its Bond Bread baking division by 1972.

In 1979, General's contract to manage two hotels in Yellowstone Park was terminated due to "poor service" and inadequate maintenance of the properties, according to the National Park Service.

Also in 1979, General sold its Van de Kamp's bakery division, the largest retail bakery in California, to a group of private investors, returning control back to the West Coast. The group of investors included Jack W. Leeney, president of the division who became the new company's chief executive officer, and executive vice president Odell C. Nordberg, who became the new company's chief operating officer. General retained ownership of Van de Kamp's frozen food divisions.

With respect to governance, the company's chairman was Harris J. Ashton in 1977.

1980s purchase of Frank's Nursery and bankruptcy
General purchased Hickory Farms in 1980 from its founder, Richard Ransom. In 1981, General divested part of its interest in meat processing subsidiary Cudahy Foods due to financial losses in the unit to a newly formed company, Bar-S, started by former executives from Cudahy. General retained the dry sausage and canned ham operations of Cudahy. As part of the divestment, General terminated 1,100 employees, shut four processing centers and thirteen distribution centers.

General Host purchased Frank's Nursery & Crafts in 1982 based on research showing higher operating profits for lawn and garden over food products.

In the mid-1980s, the company began selling off its food businesses, including its interest in Hickory Farms in 1986. General Host was the owner of the All American Gourmet Co. based in Orange County, California. In 1985 it sold 25% of the company through a public offering. The company sold its remaining 75% interest in the company to Kraft Foods in 1987. The company also sold its Van de Kamp's frozen foods division, the last of its Van de Kamp's operations, to Pillsbury in 1984.

Falconidae

The falcons and caracaras are around 60 species of diurnal birds of prey that make up the order Falconidae. The family is divided into two subfamilies, Polyborinae, which includes the caracaras and forest falcons, and Falconinae, the falcons, kestrels and falconets (Microhierax and Spiziapteryx).

Description
Falcons and caracaras are small to medium-sized birds of prey, ranging in size from the black-thighed falconet, which can weigh as little as , to the gyrfalcon, which can weigh as much as . They have strongly hooked bills, sharply curved talons and excellent eyesight. The plumage is usually composed of browns, whites, chestnut, black and grey, often with barring of patterning. There is little difference in the plumage of males and females, although a few species have some sexual dimorphism in boldness of plumage.

Distribution and habitat
The family has a cosmopolitan distribution across the world, absent only from the densest forest of central Africa, some remote oceanic islands, the high Arctic and Antarctica. Some species have exceptionally wide ranges, particularly the cosmopolitan peregrine falcon, which ranges from Greenland to Fiji and has the widest natural breeding distribution of any bird. Other species have more restricted distributions, particularly island endemics like the Mauritius kestrel. Most habitat types are occupied, from tundra to rainforest and deserts, although they are generally more birds of open country and even forest species tend to prefer broken forest and forest edges. Some species, mostly in the genus Falco, are fully migratory, with some species summering in Eurasia and wintering entirely in Africa, other species may be partly migratory. The Amur falcon has one of the longest migrations, moving from East Asia to southern Africa.

Behaviour

Diet and feeding

Falcons and caracaras are carnivores, feeding on birds, small mammals including bats, reptiles, insects and carrion. In popular imagination the falconids are fast flying predators, and while this is true of the genus Falco and some falconets, other species, particularly the caracaras, are more sedentary in their feeding. The forest falcons of the Neotropics are generalist forest hunters. Several species, particularly the true falcons, will stash food supplies in caches. They are solitary hunters and pairs guard territories, although they may form large flocks during migration. Some species are specialists, such as the laughing falcon, which specialises in snakes, others are more generalist.

Breeding

The falcons and caracaras are generally solitary breeders, although around 10% of species are colonial, for example the red-footed falcon. They are monogamous, although some caracaras may also employ alloparenting strategies, where younger birds help adults (usually their parents) in raising the next brood of chicks. Nests are generally not built (except by the caracaras), but are co opted from other birds, for example pygmy falcons nest in the nests of weavers, or on the ledges on cliffs. Around 2–4 eggs are laid, and mostly incubated by the female. Incubation times vary from species to species and are correlated with body size, lasting 28 days in smaller species and up to 35 days in larger species. Chicks fledge after 28–49 days, again varying with size.

Relations with humans
Falcons and caracaras have a complicated relationship with humans. In ancient Egypt they were deified in the form of Horus, the sky and sun god who was the ancestor of the pharaohs. Caracaras also formed part of the legends of the Aztecs. Falcons were important in the (formerly often royal) sport of falconry. They have also been persecuted for their predation on game and farm animals, and that persecution has led to the extinction of at least one species, the Guadalupe caracara. Several insular species have declined dramatically, none more so than the Mauritius kestrel, which at one time numbered no more than four birds. Around five species of falcon are considered vulnerable to extinction by the IUCN, including the saker falcon.

Taxonomy and systematics

The family Falconidae was introduced by the English zoologist William Elford Leach in a guide to the contents of the British Museum published in 1820.

Families
Traditionally, the raptors were grouped into four families in the single order Falconiformes, but many thought this group to be paraphyletic and not to share a common ancestor to the exclusion of all other birds.

First, multiple lines of evidence in the 1970s and 1980s suggested that the New World vultures Cathartidae were more closely related to storks and herons (Ciconiiformes), though more recent work places them outside that group as well. Consequently, New World vultures are now often raised to the rank of an independent order Cathartiformes not closely associated with either birds of prey or storks or herons. In 2007, the American Ornithologists' Union's North American checklist moved Cathartidae back into the lead position in Falconiformes, but with an asterisk that indicates it is a taxon "that is probably misplaced in the current phylogenetic listing but for which data indicating proper placement are not yet available".

In Europe, it has become common to split the remaining raptors into two: the falcons and caracaras remain in the order Falconiformes (about 60 species in 4 groups), and the remaining 220-odd species (including the Accipitridae eagles, hawks, Old World vultures, etc.) are put in the separate order Accipitriformes. An unplaced prehistoric family known only from fossils are the Horusornithidae.

In agreement with the split of Falconiformes and Accipitriformes, comparative genome analysis published in 2008 suggested that falcons are more closely related to the parrots and passerines than to other birds including the Accipitridae, so that the traditional Falconiformes are polyphyletic even if the Cathartidae are excluded. Indeed, a 2011 analysis of transposable element insertions shared between the genomes of falcons, passerines, and parrots, but not present in the genomes of other birds, confirmed that falcons are a sister group of the combined parrot/passerine group, together forming the clade Eufalconimorphae.

Subfamilies
The clade Falconidae is composed of three main branches: the falconets and true falcons, the caracaras, and the forest falcons. Differences exist between authorities in how these are grouped into subfamilies.  Also, the placement of the laughing falcon (Herpetotheres) and the spot-winged falconet (Spiziapteryx) varies.

One common approach uses two subfamilies Polyborinae and Falconinae.
The first contains the caracaras, forest falcons, and laughing falcon. All species in this group are native to the Americas.

The composition of Falconidae is disputed, and Polyborninae is not featured in the American Ornithologists' Union checklists for North and South American birds that are produced by its Classification Committees (NACC and SACC). The Check-list of North American Birds considers the laughing falcon a true falcon (Falconinae) and replaces Polyborinae with Caracarinae and Micrasturinae. On the other hand, the Check-list of South American Birds classifies all caracaras as true falcons and puts the laughing falcon and forest falcons into the subfamily Herpetotherinae.

Based on genetic research from the late 1990s to 2015, Boyd uses three subfamilies.
He places the laughing falcon (Herpetotheres) with the forest falcons (Micrastur) into Herpetotherinae (similar to SACC).  Caracarinae is separate (similar to NACC), but also contains the spot-winged falconet (Spiziapteryx).  The other falcons are placed in Falconinae.

Falconinae, in its traditional classification, contains the falcons, falconets, and pygmy falcons. Depending on the authority, Falconinae may also include the caracaras and/or the laughing falcon. Boyd further divides the Falconinae into two tribes: Polyhieracini containing the Microhierax falconets, plus Falconini containing the Falco falcons.  The pygmy falcon and the white-rumped (pygmy) falcon are split into separate genera (Polyhierax and Neohierax), with the former placed into Polyhieracini and the latter into Falconini.

Municipality of Deloraine – Winchester

The Municipality of Deloraine – Winchester is a rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Manitoba that incorporated on January 1, 2015 via the amalgamation of the RM of Winchester and the Town of Deloraine. It was formed as a requirement of The Municipal Amalgamations Act, which required that municipalities with a population less than 1,000 amalgamate with one or more neighbouring municipalities by 2015. The Government of Manitoba initiated these amalgamations in order for municipalities to meet the 1997 minimum population requirement of 1,000 to incorporate a municipality.

Suankularb Wittayalai Thonburi School

Suankularb Wittayalai Thonburi School (S.K.T.) (Thai: โรงเรียนสวนกุหลาบวิทยาลัย ธนบุรี) is the tenth school affiliated with Suankularb Wittayalai. The school is a high school for grades 7 through 12 in Thailand under the management of Mr. Pisanu Sripol, the first director of the school.

History
Suankularb Wittayalai Thonburi School was originally the Bangmod Orange Orchard an area of approximate 12 acres which was donated by Miss Panadda Suwannanon. This was for charity on the Sixtieth Anniversary Celebrations of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej Rama IX's Accession to the Throne, and as a memorial to her father Mr. Plung Suwannanon who was Suankularb Wittayalai School Alumni. Miss Panadda Suwannanon donated this land to the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC) for S.K.T. and construction began on September 21, 2006.

Eventually, S.K.T. School was established on August 8, 2008 by Mr. Visootr Kasemsuk who held the director position of Secondary Educational Service Area Office 1 (SESAO). Afterward, he was moved to another government agency, and Mr. Surasak Srisawangrat took this position until the groundbreaking ceremony of the first school building on May 20, 2010.

The school received their first students in secondary in 2009, a total of 245 students in 5 rooms. The following year 2010 and 2011, received another 200 students in 4 rooms. Because school buildings were under construction, they used Rattanakosinsompoch Bangkhunthian School for temporary study. At that time, the director of Rattanakosinsompoch Bangkhunthian School took the position of S.K.T. School director. Later on November 30, 2010, OBEC appointed Mr. Phisanu Sripon to take the position of school director. Then, all students moved to study at S.K.T. from 2012 onwards.

Arhodomonas aquaeolei

Arhodomonas aquaeolei is a species of the bacterial genus Arhodomonas noted for its ability to grow in an environment of high salinity. It is an aerobic, oval rod-shaped, gram-negative bacterium. It is motile by means a single polar flagellum.

A. aquaeolei is among the most halophilic organisms known. The temperature range for the growth of this bacteria is between 20 °C and 45 °C, with optimal growth at 37 °C and it requires specifically sodium chloride (NaCl) for its growth. (Other salts do not promote growth of A. aquaeolei.) Growth occurred at NaCl concentrations between 6% and 20% in a Campylobacter medium. Although A. aquaeolei is most closely related to purple sulfur bacteria, it does not share those organisms' phototrophic traits. A. aquaeolei has been shown to degrade phenol and phenol based compounds, indicating possible industrial uses. A. aquaeolei'' causes no known diseases.

Mudzi West is a constituency of Zimbabwe. It belongs to Mudzi District in East Mashonaland, and comprises the Shanga, Suswe, Mudzi, Musarakufa and Chiunye areas. It is a rural area.

Elections
In 2000 Ray J.Kaukonde of the ZANU PF party won with 92% of the vote.

In the 2005 election, Aqualina Katsande, the ZANU PF candidate won with 83.6% of the vote. More than 11,000 votes at the 2005 general election were not accounted for.

In the 2008 elections, Aqualinah Katsande (ZANU PF) was challenged by three other candidates, one each from the United People's Party (UPP), the Movement for Democratic Change – Tsvangirai (MDC-T) and the Movement for Democratic Change – Ncube (MDC). Katsande retained her seat in the Assembly with 9,417 votes or 72.8% of the vote. Katsande and her son were accused of voter intimidation.

In the 2013 elections, voters continued to face intimidation from ZANU-PF stalwarts. Again the ZANU-PF candidate, Aqualinah Katsande, won, with the official count for her being 14,266 votes or 93.4% of the vote.
