Kapre

In Philippine folklore, the kapre is a creature that could be characterized as a tree giant. It is described as being a tall (7 to 9 ft), big, black, terrifying, hairy, muscular creature. Kapres are normally described as having a strong smell that attracts human attention. They stay at a branch of a tree smoking.

Origins

The term kapre comes from the Arabic kafir (Spanish cafre), meaning a non-believer in Islam (usually referring to African slaves). The term was later brought to the Philippines by the Spanish who had previous contact with the Moors, they used it to describe the indigenous Negrito ethnic groups with dark skin and features similar to Black Africans. This is also evident in the fact that a synonym for kapre is agtà, another name for the Aeta people. The modern mythical characterizations of the kapre evolved from formerly racist portrayals of Negrito tribes by the lowland Christianized ethnic groups of the Philippines during the Spanish period.

The term cafre was also used for Papuan slaves brought to the Philippines by the Portuguese before slavery was abolished by Spain.

Natural habitat and attire
Kapres are said to dwell in big trees like acacias, mangoes, bamboo and banyan (known in the Philippines as balete). It is also mostly seen sitting under those trees. The Kapre is said to wear the indigenous Northern Philippine loincloth known as bahag, and according to some, often wears a belt which gives the kapre the ability to be invisible to humans. In some versions, the kapre is supposed to hold a magical white stone, a little smaller in size than a quail egg. Should any person happen to obtain this stone, the kapre can grant wishes.

Behavior
Kapres are believed to be nocturnal and omnivorous. They are not necessarily considered to be evil. However, they may turn vengeful when the tree that they are inhabiting is cut down.

A Kapre may make contact with people to offer friendship, or if it is attracted to a woman. If a Kapre befriends a human, especially because of love, the Kapre will consistently follow its "love interest" throughout life. Also, if one is a friend of the Kapre, then that person will have the ability to see it and if they were to sit on it then any other person would be able to see the huge entity.

Kapres, also called agtà, are said to play pranks on people, frequently making travelers become disoriented and lose their way in the mountains or in the woods.  They are also believed to have the ability to confuse people even in their own familiar surroundings; for instance, someone who forgets that they are in their own garden or home is said to have been tricked by a Kapre. Reports of experiencing Kapre enchantment include that of witnessing rustling tree branches, even if the wind is not strong.  Some more examples would be hearing loud laughter coming from an unseen being, witnessing lots of smoke from the top of a tree, seeing big red glaring eyes during night time from a tree, as well as actually seeing a Kapre walking in forested areas. It is also believed that abundant fireflies in woody areas are the embers from the Kapre's lit cigars or tobacco pipe. There might be Aztec influence there too since cigars and tobacco are a Native-American invention.

Documentary
In the 2015 documentary series The Creatures of Philippine Mythology, the origin, history and evolution of the Kapre is examined.  It starts in the pre-Spanish Philippines where animist beliefs created a huge black spirit that watched people from the trees, follows the etymology of the term "kapre", and discovers why the creature is always smoking cigars.

Ruatan Island agouti

The Ruatan Island agouti (Dasyprocta ruatanica), also called the Roatán Island agouti, is a species of agouti in the family Dasyproctidae. It is endemic to the island of Roatán, off the north coast of  Honduras, and is threatened by habitat loss and hunting. There are no known subspecies.

Description
Ruatan Island agoutis closely resemble the widespread Central American agoutis, but are noticeably smaller in size, being only around  in head-body length. Their fur is orange brown over their entire bodies, fading to a paler, olivaceous shade on the underparts, and with grizzled black ticking over their backs. There is a white spot on the chin, and a yellowish patch on the belly. Unlike the naked ears of Central American agoutis, those of the Ruatan Island species bear a few dark hairs.

The overall colour is said to be richer than that of Central American agoutis, although the differences are slight, so are less reliable than body size in distinguishing the two species.

Behaviour
The animals inhabit brushy scrub forest across the island of Roatán, where they feed on almonds, coconuts, hibiscus, and Pentaclethra pods. As the tourist industry has grown on their native island, hotels and other buildings are encroaching on their native habitat. While some remain in developed areas, living under hotel buildings and feeding off chicken grain and similar resources, most are now found in the hilly interior of the island, away from the coast. From the few studies conducted on the animal, they appear to be active both day and night, and are not territorial. They are timid, and flee at the sight of humans.

2017–18 Belgian First Amateur Division

The 2017–18 Belgian First Amateur Division was the second season of the third-tier football league in Belgium, as it was established in 2016. The fixtures were announced near the end of June 2017.

Although Knokke won the title after winning the playoffs, it was Lommel who were promoted as Knokke had not applied for a license to play at the professional level. At the bottom side of the table, following the bankruptcy of Lierse (playing in the 2017–18 Belgian First Division B), one less team was forced to relegate. As a result, 13th placed Châtelet was saved and did not have to play the 2017–18 Belgian Second Amateur Division Promotion play-offs Final, which was played instead by Hamme who avoided direct relegation. Hamme in the end could not win the Promotion Final and was relegated after all, together with Berchem Sport and Patro Eisden Maasmechelen who had finished in the bottom two places.

Team information

Team changes

In
 Lommel United was relegated from the 2016–17 Belgian First Division B after finishing last in the relegation play-offs. In the mid-season the team changed their name back to Lommel SK.
 Knokke was promoted after winning the 2016–17 Belgian Second Amateur Division A.
 Berchem Sport was promoted after winning the 2016–17 Belgian Second Amateur Division B.
 Châtelet was promoted after winning the 2016–17 Belgian Second Amateur Division C.
 Aalst won the Second Amateur Division promotion play-offs to obtain the final promotion spot.

Out
 Beerschot Wilrijk were promoted as 2016–17 Belgian First Amateur Division winners.
 Coxyde finished in the relegation zone (14th) in the 2016–17 Belgian First Amateur Division and was therefore relegated. On top of that, the team announced it would be folding its first team for one season, only to be restarted for the 2018–19 season at the very bottom level of the Belgian football pyramid. As a result they had not applied for a Belgian remunerated football license and would have been relegated irrespective of their finishing position.
 WS Brussels finished in the relegation zone (15th) in the 2016–17 Belgian First Amateur Division and was therefore relegated. On top of that, the team was refused a Belgian remunerated football license by the Belgian FA for outstanding debts and would therefore have relegated automatically.
 Sprimont-Comblain finished in the relegation zone (16th) in the 2016–17 Belgian First Amateur Division and was therefore relegated to the 2017–18 Belgian Second Amateur Division
 Hasselt was also relegated to the 2017–18 Belgian Second Amateur Division after finishing 13th meant they were to take part in the Second Amateur Division promotion play-offs, where the team failed to regain its place in the First Amateur Division.

Regular season

League table

Results

Promotion play-offs
The teams finishing in the top four positions entered the promotion play-offs. The points obtained during the regular season were halved (and rounded up) before the start of the playoff, as a result, Knokke started with 36 points, Lommel with 31 points, Dessel with 30 points and Deinze with 25 points. As Lommel were the only team which obtained a licence and qualified for the promotion play-offs, they were already certain of promotion even before the start of the playoffs.

Maigret and the Dosser

Maigret and the Dosser (French: Maigret et le Clochard) is a detective novel by the Belgian writer Georges Simenon featuring his character Jules Maigret.

Synopsis
Maigret investigates the circumstances when a homeless tramp is recovered from the Seine, after being attacked and badly wounded. The tramp proves to be a former doctor, known to fellow tramps as 'The Doc', who abandoned his family twenty years previously to work in Gabon, but returned to Paris to live rough, mainly under various bridges. Thanks to Madame Maigret's sister, who lives in Mulhouse, Maigret learns more of the family background. His wife, estranged but not divorced, is persuaded to visit him in hospital, but displays no affection or interest in a reconciliation.

The tramp, identified as François Keller, was rescued by Jef van Houtte, a Belgian barge owner, and whilst in hospital, refuses to talk. But Maigret suspects that Keller knows his attacker and is keeping quiet for a good reason. He also believes that the Belgian is not telling him the whole story.

Under intense interrogation, van Houtte eventually confesses that many years ago he was responsible for the death by drowning of his father-in-law and that Keller was a witness. But Keller still won't say anything, and Maigret is forced to release the Belgian for lack of evidence. Keller returns to his life on the streets.

Publication history
The French title was first published in 1963.

The first English version appeared in 1963, translated by Jean Stewart. This has also been published with the title Maigret and the Bum.

They generally occur in open country. They have maroon irides and pinkish legs. In flight, some species show a distinctive flash of rufous in the wings, while others show black-and-white wing-patterns.

Species
 Blue-eyed ground dove, Columbina cyanopis
 Common ground dove, Columbina passerina
 Croaking ground dove, Columbina cruziana
 Ecuadorian ground dove, Columbina  buckleyi
 Picui ground dove, Columbina picui
 Plain-breasted ground dove, Columbina minuta

The following 2 species are usually placed here, but separated in genus Scardafella by some authors:
 Inca dove, Columbina inca
 Scaled dove, Columbina squammata

"Columbina" prattae from Early Miocene deposits of Florida is nowadays tentatively separated in Arenicolumba, but its distinction from Columbina/Scardafella needs to be more firmly established.

Red Cliff Air Station

Red Cliff Air Station (Also known as St. Johns) (ID: N-22, C-22)  was a General Surveillance Radar station.  The remains of which are located  north-northeast of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.  It was closed in 1961.

History
During World War II a US-manned battery of two 8-inch railway guns was at Red Cliff, part of Fort Pepperrell at St. John's.

The site was established in 1953 as a General Surveillance Radar station, funded by the United States Air Force, one of the many that would make up the Pinetree Line of Ground-Control Intercept (GCI) radar sites.

Northeast Air Command stationed the 642d Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron at the station on 1 January 1953.  The site was the most eastern ground radar site in North America of the USAF.  It operated the following radars:
 Search Radars: AN/FPS-502, AN/CPS-6B
 Height Radars: AN/TPS-502, AN/CPS-6B

As a GCI base, the 642d's role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit's radar scopes. These interceptors were assigned to the 64th Air Division at Goose AFB, Labrador.

The station was reassigned to Aerospace Defense Command on 1 April 1957, and was given designation "N-22" (later "C-22."

In addition to the main facility, Red Cliff operated an AN/FPS-14 manned Gap Filler site:
 Elliston Ridge AS    (N-22B):  (Det 1, 642d AC&WS)

The Elliston Ridge site operated between 1957 and 1961 in a relatively isolated location on the Bonavista Peninsula, about 70 miles northwest of the main station. Parts of the station remain intact, although abandoned to the elements since its closure. Broadcasting station CJOZ-FM maintains and transmits from a building and tower on the same property of the Eliston Ridge site.

Red Cliff Air Station was closed on 1 October 1961.   Today the site is abandoned, unused since its closure   Most of the structures remain, abandoned and deteriorating since its inactivation.  It is occasionally used by local militia units as a Fighting in Built-up Areas (FIBA) training area. The area is also used by local graffiti artists, as well as paintball and airsoft players.

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)-ATP and diphosphate, whereas its two products are ATP and 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the pentosyltransferases.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is 1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)-ATP:diphosphate phospho-alpha-D-ribosyl-transferase. Other names in common use include phosphoribosyl-ATP pyrophosphorylase, adenosine triphosphate phosphoribosyltransferase, phosphoribosyladenosine triphosphate:pyrophosphate, phosphoribosyltransferase, phosphoribosyl ATP synthetase, phosphoribosyl ATP:pyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase, phosphoribosyl-ATP:pyrophosphate-phosphoribosyl phosphotransferase, phosphoribosyladenosine triphosphate pyrophosphorylase, and phosphoribosyladenosine triphosphate synthetase.

This enzyme catalyses the first step in the biosynthesis of histidine in bacteria, fungi and plants. It is a member of the larger phosphoribosyltransferase superfamily of enzymes which catalyse the condensation of 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate with nitrogenous bases in the presence of divalent metal ions.

Histidine biosynthesis is an energetically expensive process and ATP phosphoribosyltransferase activity is subject to control at several levels. Transcriptional regulation is based primarily on nutrient conditions and determines the amount of enzyme present in the cell, while feedback inhibition rapidly modulates activity in response to cellular conditions. The enzyme has been shown to be inhibited by 1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)-ATP, histidine, ppGpp (a signal associated with adverse environmental conditions) and ADP and AMP (which reflect the overall energy status of the cell). As this pathway of histidine biosynthesis is present only in prokaryotes, plants and fungi, this enzyme is a promising target for the development of novel antimicrobial compounds and herbicides.

ATP phosphoribosyltransferase is found in two distinct forms: a long form containing two catalytic domains and a C-terminal regulatory domain, and a short form in which the regulatory domain is missing. The long form is catalytically competent, but in organisms with the short form, a histidyl-tRNA synthetase paralogue, HisZ, is required for enzyme activity.

The structures of the long form enzymes from Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium tuberculosis have been determined. Interconversion between the various forms is largely reversible and is influenced by the binding of the natural substrates and inhibitors of the enzyme. The two catalytic domains are linked by a two-stranded beta-sheet and together form a "periplasmic binding protein fold". A crevice between these domains contains the active site. The C-terminal domain is not directly involved in catalysis but appears to be involved the formation of hexamers, induced by the binding of inhibitors such as histidine to the enzyme, thus regulating activity.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 10 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes , , , , , , , , , and .

Scattershot (book)

Scattershot: My Bipolar Family is a 2008 memoir, written by American writer, carpenter, and former Montague Bookmill proprietor David Lovelace, published by Dutton Adult. Lovelace's memoir chronicles the challenges of growing up in a family in which four out of five members suffer from bipolar disorder, including Lovelace himself. Only his sister, who is a professional therapist, was spared the ravages of bipolar disorder, while both his parents, his brother, and himself, have suffered to differing degrees over the years.

Lovelace has written poetry, some of which has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and the Patterson Review's Allen Ginsberg Award. He currently resides in western Massachusetts with his wife and children.

Description

A native of Massachusetts, Lovelace's relationship with bipolar disorder began at an early age, when his mother, an artist, suffered from severe bouts of depression, and later when his father, a Professor of Theology at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, exhibited increasingly eccentric behavior. He and his brother followed suit with their own symptoms as they grew up, developing similar mood and psychological disorders, a common problem for the family—excepting Lovelace's sister, who has always had her mental health—which they privately termed the "whim-whams".

The memoir uses ample humor to chronicle Lovelace's childhood and his early adulthood growing up in and around Hamilton, Massachusetts with bipolar disorder; it shines a light on the positive aspects of bipolar disorder, such as the remarkable creative gifts it can bestow upon the afflicted, while being, unfortunately, totally devastating on other occasions.

Reception
Scattershot is described by Alex Miller in the Vail Daily as "disturbing in places", yet "funny in others". In comparison to other memoirs, he states that "it’s very evenly portrayed, without any finger-pointing". Whitney Spotts of the Lansing State Journal states that "the author manages to convey the dark corners of bi-polar disorder from a tender, understanding place."

Publishers Weekly praised "Lovelace's poetic prose [as] both matter-of-fact and haunted, capturing the unpredictable rhythms of mental illness" and believed "[r]eaders will get a real sense of the interior world of a single patient, and a family, on the verge of a mental breakdown." Eric Liebetrau, in the Charleston City Paper, writes that "Lovelace's prose mimics his fragile mental condition, accelerating to a breathless poetry during his manic phases and slowing to a near-catatonic whisper during the depressive phases."

According to the book's publisher, there may be interest in a movie adaptation; the section of the Dutton Gotham Books Fall 2008 Catalog on the book states: Leonardo DiCaprio and Bill Monahan, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of The Departed, are both attached to this property in Hollywood, and a deal with a major studio is expected shortly. Additionally, at least one review claimed The Oprah Winfrey Show is interested in having Lovelace on the show to discuss his memoir; this has not yet been verified.

321st Air Refueling Squadron

The 321st Air Refueling Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the 301st Bombardment Wing at Lockbourne Air Force Base, Ohio, where it was inactivated on 15 March 1965.

The squadron was first active during World War II as the 321st Transport Squadron, operating a courier service from the United Kingdom and France until it was disbanded in 1945.

The 321st Air Refueling Squadron was activated as a Boeing KC-97 Stratotanker squadron in 1953.  In 1962, the unit converted to Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers, which it flew until it was inactivated in 1965 and replaced by the 32d Air Refueling Squadron.

The two squadrons were consolidated into a single unit in September 1985.

History

World War II
The 321st Transport Squadron was one of five squadrons activated in November 1943 and assigned to the 27th Air Transport Group. It was located Northern Ireland and operated a courier service in the British Isles.  In 1944 it moved to France and conducted the same duties on the European continent until it was disbanded in November 1945.

Cold War

Strategic Air Command (SAC) activated the 321st Air Refueling Squadron at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas in late 1953 as a Boeing KC-97 Stratotanker squadron. At Sheppard, the squadron was a tenant of Air Training Command's 3750th Air Base Group, the host organization at Sheppard, but was attached to the 96th Bombardment Wing at Biggs Air Force Base after July 1954. Four months later, it was assigned to the 321st Bombardment Wing at Pinecastle Air Force Base, Florida, but remained a tenant organization, moving to Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama as a tenant of the 3800th Air Base Wing of Air University. It was not until August 1956, when the squadron moved to Lockbourne Air Force Base, Ohio, that it was stationed with its parent wing.

The squadron flew the KC-97 Stratotanker, providing air refueling to USAF units, from 1953 until 1963. The squadron converted to Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers that year and was inactivated in 1965 and its mission, personnel and equipment were transferred to the 32d Air Refueling Squadron.

The 321st Transport Squadron and the 321st Air Refueling Squadron were consolidated into a single unit on 19 September 1985

FN Barracuda

The FN Barracuda is a double-action multi-caliber revolver designed by and built by Astra Unceta y Cia to Fabrique Nationale's specifications. The revolver had minor differences from the Astra in the form of a modified trigger guard and rear sight channel. It can be switched between three calibers (9×19mm, .38 Special and .357 Magnum) by changing parts of the cylinder. FN decided to enter the revolver market, aiming to satisfy law enforcement customers on both sides of the Atlantic, and this gun represented their only attempt at doing so, in collaboration with Astra. Production stopped around 1989 after poor sales. The revolver itself is generally thought to be well-made, but it targeted a diminishing revolver market for law enforcement.

Design details
Fairly standard in design, with respect to other single action/double action heavy frame revolvers, the key design difference between the FN Barracuda and other brands is the rapidly interchangeable cylinder, allowing the user to easily switch between 9×19mm NATO, .38 Special, and .357 Magnum calibers. The gun has a pinned barrel, five-screwed frame assembly, and an internal coil hammer spring that can be adjusted for trigger pull weight, among other details. The trigger pull for double action configuration, in factory settings, is 11 lbs, and is 4.84 lbs in single action configuration. Barrel length is three (3) inches, which is shorter than the typical revolvers of the era (usually four (4) inches) but longer than a snub-nosed revolver.

Collectability
Prices vary strongly based on the availability of the various cylinders and the condition of the revolver. It has been imported to the US, and previous sellers (among them being Century Arms (CAI)) have sold imported guns at $275, but auction prices for a complete set in good condition will reach close to $600.

Unemployed Workmen Act 1905

The Unemployed Workmen Act 1905 was first passed by the Conservative Party (UK) in 1903 and later renewed by the Liberal Party (UK) in 1905. It established Distress Committees that gave out single grants to businesses or local authorities to allow them to hire more workers to decrease the number of people out of work. However, those with a criminal record were not given the opportunity to work the businesses being given grants.

Scouting in the Philippines

The Scout movement in the Philippines is served by
 The Boy Scouts of the Philippines organization, the recognised member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.
 The Girl Scouts of the Philippines organization, the recognised member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.

International Scouting units and associations

 There are two organizations focused on serving children of American families living in the Philippines and elsewhere in eastern Asia and the western Pacific: Boy Scouts of America serviced by the Philippine District of the Far East Council, and USA Girl Scouts Overseas.  These councils serve BSA and GSUSA units made up of children of diplomatic, business and military personnel, and international units run under their auspices.
 Traditional Scouts: Rover Scouts Association who serve both male and female 18-above for those who want to be  Rover Scouts and follow to the traditional Scouting program as laid out by Baden-Powell during his time.  Thus U.S.R. and R.S.A have a Crew in the Philippines.  The Baden-Powell Movement of Australia has a branch in Philippines and serve members of the LDS Church.
 The Manila YMCA organised the first Boy Scout troops in the Philippines in 1910.
 In the past, Scouts in Chinese schools registered with the Boy Scouts of China (in Taiwan).  With the Filipinization of Chinese schools during the regime of Pres. Marcos, these shifted registration to the BSP and GSP.
 During the existence of the Philippine Refugee Processing Center in Bataan (1980–93), refugee Vietnamese formed unregistered co-ed Huong Dao Viet Nam units of Cubs, Scouts, and Senior Scouts.
 Also at the PRPC, a unit composed of Viet and Lao boys was organised by American supervisors Thomas Rogers and Joseph Reeves Locke and Filipino teachers Lawrence Ong and Samuel Salter.  It was registered as Troop 315 of the Boy Scouts of America.

Thorne Head Preserve

Thorne Head Preserve is a 96 acre (39 hectare) property administered by Kennebec Estuary Land Trust (KELT) located at the extreme end of High Street in north Bath, Maine which includes half a mile of shoreline alongside Whiskeag Creek and the Kennebec River. The land was purchased in 2000.

The wildlife and nature preserve forms one end of the Whiskeag Trail and as such provides a trailhead kiosk with maps and rules and parking for about a dozen vehicles although there are no toilet or picnic facilities. The Preserve is open to the public free of charge from dawn till dusk daily.

History

There is evidence that Thorne Head has been occupied and utilized since the Abenaki traded along the river and gathered wild rice there and was known to European settlers as early as 1605, when George Waymouth entered the Kennebec River with 'some noblemen of England' and 'traversed as far to the north as the Whizgig River''' (the name referring to a whirling stream now refers to the Whiskeag Creek, which itself is said to derive from a native name, Kowasskik or Weskeag meaning 'Grassy River').

In 1640, land was deeded to the first European settlers, and from here white pine logs were exported back to England to provide wood for shipbuilding the King's Navy. Thorne Head continued to be logged into the 20th century and then the cleared areas became grazing pasture. Stone wall boundaries marking these pastures can still be seen today.

In 1751 Michael Thornton was the first resident to locate to Thorne Head and in 1752 the post road that led from Boston via Portland and Brunswick and along what is now High Street was extended through onto the first Kennebec River ferry where it crossed the river at the Narrows. The area known as Thorne Head has also been known as Thorn's Head'' as recently as 1906.

In 1993, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife performed a critical habitat survey and noted Thorne Head as a high value habitat. In 1998, KELT began the process of purchasing the property and in April 2000 Thorne Head Preserve officially opened and became part of the Whiskeag Trail. In 2004 a gift of over 60 acres (24 hectares) - an area known as Sewall Woods, the woodlot adjacent to the Sewall family's dairy farm - was made to the trust by William D. Sewall. This in turn was enlarged in 2006 by the purchase of a further 26 acres (10.5 hectares) from Bath Housing Authority.

Flora and fauna

On October 29, 2017, a large storm crossed Maine causing widespread damage. Thorne Head did not escape this storm and many trees were broken or felled as a result. Many trees had to be removed from the public trails in the following week. The damage caused large openings to appear in what was dense woodland meaning that many of the trails are far more exposed than they were previously.

The preserve contains mixed forest which includes specimens of white pine (Pinus strobus), red pine (Pinus resinosa); a stand of which can be found at the northern end of the preserve, and Eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis). It is possible to also find examples of oak and maple.

The preserve protects over half a mile (0.8 km) of shoreline on both the Kennebec River and Whiskeag Creek. Many fish species live in the waters here including striped bass and short-nosed sturgeon.

It is possible on the trails to see deer, fox, raccoons and mink as well as various wild birds such as owls, bald eagles and migrating warblers.

There are approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) of trails to explore. The trails are marked with colored paint blazes on the trees. There are usually paper maps available from the kiosk at the entrance to the Preserve. From the entrance it is possible to take either of two trails. Bath Gardening Club has placed signs throughout the preserve identifying various tree and plant species.
The terrain of the Preserve is varied. On most trails the elevation is gentle and the trails are easy to follow. Along the shoreline, the terrain drops off steeply.

Overlook Trail

The Overlook Trail runs roughly north and ends at the 'Mushroom Cap', a stone sculpture approximately a 10-minute walk from the car-park. This trail also intersects with the Whiskeag Trail, The Narrows, The Ridge Runner Trail and the Mushroom Cap Trail. There is also a short connecting trail known as The Sunset Loop.

Whiskeag Trail

The Whiskeag Trail is the longer of the two and ends up at Whiskeag Creek. Part of this trail is along the shoreline. It intersects with the Narrows Trail that loops around the tip of the peninsula. The Whiskeag Trail itself is a 5-mile (8 km) biking and hiking trail which connects Thorne Head Preserve to the Bath Area Family YMCA.

Otto Hintze

Otto Hintze (August 27, 1861 – April 25, 1940) was a German historian of public administration. He was Professor of Political, Constitutional, Administrative and Economic History at the University of Berlin.

Biography

Hintze was born in the small town of Pyritz (Pyrzyce) in the Province of Pomerania, the son of a civil servant. From 1878 to 1879, Hintze studied history, philosophy and philology in Greifswald. Here he joined the fraternity Germania.

Hintze came to Berlin in 1880, and soon obtained a doctorate under Julius Weizsäcker with a dissertation on Medieval History in 1884. He joined the project on the ‘Acta Borussica’, an editing project of the Prussian Academy of Sciences under the directorship of Gustav Schmoller dealing with the Prussian administrative files of the 18th century. Seven volumes of sources on the economics and administrative organisation in Prussia, with detailed historical commentaries, were published by 1910. In 1895, his post-doctoral thesis to become a lecturer was accepted by Treitschke and Schmoller; in 1902 as Professor of the newly created Department of Political, Constitutional, Administrative and Economic History. In 1912, Hintze married his student Hedwig Guggenheimer. One of his key works, Die Hohenzollern und ihr Werk (The Hohenzollern and Their Legacy), is considered to be an important and solidly researched piece of scholarship, despite having been commissioned by the Prussian Hohenzollern dynasty for their ruling anniversary in 1915. Hintze was prematurely retired from the university in 1920 due to health reasons.

Hintze ceased publishing after the Nazi Party came to power and, in 1933, he was the only member to speak against Albert Einstein's expulsion from the Prussian Academy of Sciences. In 1938, Hintze himself resigned from the Academy, which he had been a member of since 1914. His wife, Hedwig Hintze (born: Hedwig Guggenheimer), who was Germany's first woman to receive a doctorate in History and the University of Berlin's (Friedrich Wilhelm University) first woman History professor, because of her Jewish roots and leftist sympathies soon lost her position as lecturer at the Friedrich Wilhelm University, and eventually had to flee to the Netherlands in 1939. Otto Hintze only survived this separation for a few months. In 1942, his wife committed suicide rather than undergo deportation to a death camp by the Nazis.

Since the 1960s, there has been deeper research into Hintze's oeuvre, as signified by Gerhard Oestreich’s detailed new work on him. The historians Jürgen Kocka and Felix Gilbert agree that, in their opinion, he could possibly be the most significant German historian of the German Empire and of the Weimar Republic.

Dressing down

"Dressing down" or "dressing-down" is an English-language idiom that may refer to:
 An especially severe, highly formalized, and often public form of military discipline incident to reduction in rank or, in extreme cases, complete dismissal via the ceremony of degradation (also termed "cashiering," especially when performed upon an officer):  To amplify the already-severe punishment inherent in a reduction in rank, the authorities imposing it may confirm it in a ceremony whose form is analogous to that of a promotion ceremony in that its participants remove the uniform's existing rank insignia and replace that insignia with the insignia of the soldier's new, lesser/lower rank; the degradation/cashiering ceremony has traditionally involved stripping both rank insignia and all other military insignia from the uniform.
 By metonymy from the associated ceremony, the reduction in rank itself.
 Any act of severely reprimanding or scolding someone.
 The wearing of clothes socially regarded as being appropriate for only events less formal than the occasion at which one is wearing them (contrast antonym "dress[ing] up" from which this usage of the idiom is derived by alteration)
 "Dress-down day" (more commonly "casual day"), a workday during which the managers of a business formally relax its dress code for the day, usually to a specified degree and pursuant to an announcement made far enough in advance that employees can plan accordingly
When managers schedule such relaxations at regular intervals as part of the dress code itself, rather than an authorized departure from it, workdays featuring them are widely known as "dress-down [X]" or "casual [X]," where X is the recurring occasion (e.g., a given weekday, as in "casual Friday") with which the relaxation is associated.

Blair Bridge (New Hampshire)

The Blair Bridge is a wooden covered bridge originally built in 1829, that crosses the Pemigewasset River near Campton, New Hampshire, United States. It connects New Hampshire Route 175 to the east and U.S. Route 3 and Interstate 93 to the west.

The bridge was damaged during Tropical Storm Irene on August 28, 2011. After this period, the bridge underwent many structural repairs by master bridgewright Arnold M. Graton and reopened in early 2015, with a weight limit of six tons per vehicle - twice as much as the old limit of three tons. As with many covered bridges, it is only wide enough for one lane of traffic; opposing traffic must wait until the bridge has cleared.

Dave Barker

Dave Barker (born David John Crooks, 10 October 1947, Franklyn Town, Kingston, Jamaica) is a reggae and rocksteady singer who has made a string of solo albums along with recordings as a member of The Techniques and as half of the duo Dave and Ansell Collins.

Biography
Crooks was born in 1947 and raised by his grandmother and three uncles from the age of 4 after his mother emigrated to England in 1952 (his father emigrated to the United States before he was born). He developed a stammer after beatings from his uncles and teachers, but began singing as a teenager, inspired by James Brown and Otis Redding, whom he heard on American radio stations.

His first group was the Two Tones, formed with friends Brenton Matthews and Fathead, who recorded unsuccessfully for Duke Reid. Barker had a brief stint in Winston Riley's Techniques, singing alongside Riley and Bruce Ruffin, and formed a duo with Glen Brown in the duo Glen and Dave, recording for both Harry J and Coxsone Dodd, while also working in the pressing plant at Studio One. Brown introduced Crooks to Lee "Scratch" Perry, suggesting that Perry get Crooks to voice a track at a recording session. The resulting track was "Prisoner of Love", and led to Crooks becoming a regular vocalist for Perry, who decided Crooks should record as Dave Barker, and encouraged American-style deejay vocals in addition to Barker's usual high tenor singing. Barker had hit singles with "Shocks of a Mighty" and "Spinning Wheel" (with Melanie Jonas), followed in 1970 by his debut album Prisoner of Love. Working with Perry at the same time as The Wailers, Barker toasted over the latter's "Small Axe" for 1971's "Shocks 71".  March 1971 brought international fame as part of a duo with Ansell Collins. "Double Barrel" was a number 1 hit in the United Kingdom, and was also the first recording on which drummer Sly Dunbar played. "Double Barrel" was followed in June of the same year with a number 7 UK hit in the form of "Monkey Spanner". The duo failed to sustain success in the UK, and Collins returned to Jamaica, with Barker settling in England and embarking once again on a solo career, releasing 1976's In The Ghetto, which while credited to Dave and Ansell Collins, was a solo effort. He then joined vocal group Chain Reaction along with Bruce Ruffin and Bobby Davis, targeting the soul market, but without great success. Barker has continued to record, including a live album featuring Barker playing with The Selecter.

In 2005 Dave Barker performed a couple of tracks with UK ska/ reggae band The Riffs  at Club Ska in London. A version of Double Barrel (recorded with The Riffs) was released on The Riffs - Live at Club Ska album the following year on Moon Ska Records.

He appeared as a guest on The Radcliffe & Maconie BBC Radio 6 Music show on 20 August 2012 talking extensively about the music he was influenced by and the music had created alongside Ansell and about Jamaica's independence.

Mark-8

The Mark-8 is a microcomputer design from 1974, based on the Intel 8008 CPU (which was the world's first 8-bit microprocessor). The Mark-8 was designed by graduate student Jonathan Titus and announced as a 'loose kit' in the July 1974 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine.

Project kit

The Mark-8 was introduced as a 'build it yourself' project in Radio-Electronics'''s July 1974 cover article, offering a US$5 booklet containing circuit board layouts and DIY construction project descriptions, with Titus himself arranging for $50 circuit board sets to be made by a New Jersey company for delivery to hobbyists. Prospective Mark-8 builders had to gather the various electronics parts themselves from a number of different sources. A couple of thousand booklets and some one-hundred circuit board sets were eventually sold.

The Mark-8 was introduced in R-E as "Your Personal Minicomputer". This may be readily understood considering that the microcomputer revolution had yet to happen; the word 'microcomputer' was still far from being common fare. Thus, in their announcement of their computer kit, the editors quite naturally placed the Mark-8 in the same category as the era's other 'minisize' computers.

 Influences
Although not very commercially successful, the Mark-8 prompted the editors of Popular Electronics'' magazine to consider publishing a similar but more easily accessible microcomputer project, and just six months later, in January 1975, they went through with their plans announcing the Altair 8800.

Emma Justine Farnsworth

Emma Justine Farnsworth (October 16, 1860–January 23, 1952) was an American photographer from Albany, New York known for her pictorialist photogravures and scenes illustrating children's literature.

Biography
Born in New York, Farnsworth was the daughter of Civil War general, Jonathan Gosman Farnsworth, and Sara Visscher Gourlay.

Career
Farnsworth had training in the arts. After receiving her first camera as a gift in 1890, she began photographing seriously within a few months. A member of The Camera Club of New York, Farnsworth's photographs were featured in In Arcadia, 1892, a book of figure studies accompanied by Classical verse, published by another member, George M. Allen. Her photographs were exhibited at the World's Columbian Exposition (1893). Before the end of the decade, she had been awarded almost 30 medals at various exhibitions in the world, and her work appeared frequently in the noted periodical Camera Notes, the journal of the Camera Club of New York, edited primarily by Alfred Stieglitz. Her photographs were also displayed at the Paris Exposition (1900). Her specialties were genre and figure studies, especially children and animals. Farnsworth exhibited internationally, and was included in the show, American Women Photographers, organized by Frances Benjamin Johnston, and presented at the Paris Exposition in 1900.

She died in Albany, New York, on January 23, 1952.
