"Luciano Serra Pilota" is a song by the Italian Italo disco duo Righeira, included on their debut studio album, Righeira 1983. Stefano Righi, the writer of the song, was inspired to write the song after an Italian war drama film with the same name. Writing and recording Stefano Righi wrote "Luciano Serra Pilota" with inspiration from the 1938 Italian war drama film Luciano Serra, Pilot starring Amedeo Nazzari as Luciano Serra. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Righi commented, "The song was mainly based on D.A.F. and Kraftwerk, one of my favourite bands." "Luciano Serra Pilota" was one of four songs from Righeira to be written solely by Righi the other three being "Gli parler di te", "Disco Volante" and "Kon Tiki". Music video Pierluigi de Mas directed the music video for "Luciano Serra Pilota", which was filmed in Italy. It premiered on MTV in Italy in 1983 together with the duo's hit single "Vamos a la playa" from the same album, followed by "No Tengo Dinero" in 1984. In the music video,
Righi and Rota, dressed in pilot uniforms, sings and dance in front of a greenscreen with an image of a biplane as background. In addition to the song, the editors added sounds of machine guns, aircraft and military trumpet signals. The singing has a robotic and tight rhythm, heavily inspired by German music productions. German writer Eric Pfeil of Rolling Stone has described the music video as a "parody of fascist heroes". He added, "Paying homage to the Italian fighter pilot Luciano Serra wouldn't have been necessary as the Italian propaganda film of the same name from 1938 goes back to the ideas of Benito Mussolini."

On 28 March 1854, in support of the Ottoman Empire, the British and the Second French Empire declared war on the Russian Empire. AngloFrench forces landed at Gallipoli, to be in a position to defend Constantinople if needed. On 21 February 1854, FitzRoy Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan was appointed as the general officer commanding of the expeditionary force that was dubbed the Army of the East or the Eastern Army. In midJune, the British force advanced to Varna, on the Black Sea coast of Ottoman Bulgaria. At Varna, they were reorganised into divisions. British strategic policy was to destroy the Russian Black Sea Fleet, based at Sevastopol, in order to end the war and carryout longterm British goals. On 14 September, the expeditionary landed north of Sevastopol and subsequently fought the Battle of Alma. This was followed by the investment the Russian port in October and the start of the Siege of Sevastopol. The expeditionary force fought the Battle of Inkerman soon after. While the battle ended in victory for t
he British force, it created the conditions that dragged the siege on through the winter into 1855. After the city had been subjected to several major cannonades, the Battle of the Great Redan was launched in 1855. This marked the final effort of the campaign. The expeditionary force remained in the Crimea until the war ended in 1856, after which the British Army demobilised. Divisions Footnotes Citations References

The Old Head coinage or Veiled head coinage were British coins struck between 1893 and 1901, which featured on the obverse a portrait of an aged Queen Victoria wearing a diadem partially hidden by a widow's veil, designed by Thomas Brock. It replaced the Jubilee coinage, struck since 1887, which had been widely criticised both for the portrait of the queen, and because the reverses of most of the coins did not state their monetary values. Some denominations continued with their old reverse designs, with Benedetto Pistrucci's design for the sovereign extended to the half sovereign. New designs for some of the silver coinage were inaugurated, created either by Brock or by Edward Poynter, and all denominations less than the crown, or fiveshilling piece, stated their values. Background A new obverse design for British gold and silver coins was introduced in June 1887, designed by Joseph Boehm. This coincided with Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, and the new issue became known as the Jubilee coinage. New reverse
designs by Leonard Charles Wyon were introduced at the same time for the silver coins between the sixpence and half crown, and a new coin, the double florin or fourshilling piece, was introduced. The crown, or fiveshilling piece, was struck for circulation for the first time since the 1840s. On Boehm's design, Victoria wears a small crown. This was the crown she preferred to wear at the time, due to its light weight, but the design was criticised for making it appear the crown was about to fall off her head. Further, none of the new silver coin designs bore a statement of the coin's value. The sixpence, which was the same size as the gold half sovereign, was immediately gilded to make it appear to be the more valuable coin, and the Royal Mint hastily stopped production, returning to the previous reverse design, which included a statement of the coin's value. The Royal Mint was anxious to change Boehm's design for another as soon as a decent interval had passed. As early as 1888, Victoria was shown a patter
n coin with a proposed new design; Mark Stocker, in his article on the 1893 coinage, attributes suggests that the lack of further documentation on the new design indicates that royal approval to proceed was not forthcoming. In September 1889, the chancellor of the Exchequer, George Goschen, wrote to Victoria, "as the general discussion on the Jubilee coinage had subsided, and the public appeared to have got used to the new coin, I thought that it might possibly be best to let the matter rest for a while". She responded, "the Queen dislikes the new coinage very much, and wishes the old one could still be used and the new one gradually disused, and then a new one struck." Goschen was dubious that this could be done, but promised, "I will confer with the Mint authorities whether if we cannot go back we should not go forward with the fresh design." Preparation Goschen chose to proceed by appointing an advisory commission, the Committee on the Design of Coins, in February 1891, with a brief "to examine the desig
ns on the various coins put into circulation in the year 1887, and the improvements in those designs since suggested, and to make such recommendations on the subject as might seem desirable, and to report what coins, if any, should have values expressed on them in words and figures". The committee was chaired by the Liberal MP, Sir John Lubbock, and the other members were David Powell, Deputy Governor of the Bank of England; Richard Blaney Wade, Chairman of the National Provincial Bank; Sir Frederic Leighton, President of the Royal Academy; Sir John Evans, President of the British Numismatic Society; and Sir Charles Fremantle, deputy master of the Royal Mint. At its first meeting, on 12 February 1891, the committee recommended that the double florin not be further struck, the government agreed minting had been suspended in August 1890. At its second, on 27 February, the committee considered an open competition for new coinage designs, but instead decided to invite several artists all Royal Academicians or as
sociate members of the academy to submit proposals. The invited artists were asked to submit two portraits of Victoria, both leftfacing, since the Royal Mint was contemplating using a different portraits on the florin and half crown to avoid confusion between the denominations, which were close in size and value. Entrants were offered 150 for their labours, an amount the Illustrated London News considered inadequate, and two artists declined the invitation. The competition had a deadline of 31 October 1891, and on 27 November, the committee met at the Bank of England to consider them. The obverse designs submitted by the sculptor, Sir Thomas Brock, were selected. The committee decided to retain Benedetto Pistrucci's 1817 Saint George and the Dragon design on the crown, sovereign, double sovereign, and fivepound piece, and extended it to the half sovereign. For the sixpence and half crown, designs by Brock were selected, though he had intended them for the shilling and florin. For those coins, designs by Edwa
rd John Poynter were selected. The committee's decisionmaking process is unclear, though Goschen later stated that Leighton's influence had predominated. At the committee's next meeting on 23 December 1891, it was decided to ask Brock to alter his first obverse in imitation of the Ashanti medal of 1874. According to Stocker, "In short, the Ashanti Medal was fused with Brock's preexisting design to create the 'Old Head'." Little change was required of his second obverse. Both sculptors were required to make slight changes to their reverse designs, which they did in time for the reverses to be approved at the final committee meeting on 11 March 1892. The committee recommended that a second portrait of Victoria be used only on the florin. When this was objected to by Victoria, who thought it unlikely that anyone would distinguish the two denominations in that manner, the committee revised its report. The new florin was made slightly smaller in diameter, the third time its size had been changed since its introdu
ction in 1849. The sculptors had been directed to include on their designs, Victoria's name and titles, rendered as the Latin "Victoria Dei Gratia Regina Britanniarum Fidei Defensor" Victoria, by the Grace of God, Queen of the British Realms, Defender of the Faith, to be abbreviated as necessary. Victoria had been lobbying since 1888 for her title as empress of India, granted by the Royal Titles Act 1876 to be included on the coinage, and on 12 February 1892, the prime minister, Lord Salisbury, wrote to her, "Your Majesty's Servants are of opinion that the title of Empress of India, indicating, as it does, Your Majesty's relation to far the larger portion of Your subjects, ought to appear on the coin, in the shape of the letters 'Ind Imp' or 'I.I.' or some such abbreviation. Although the Royal Titles Act forbade the monarch to use that title on matters exclusively within the United Kingdom, the cabinet determined that the wording could be included as the coins would also circulate in the colonies. On 12 Mar
ch 1892, the designs were sent to Sir Henry Ponsonby, the queen's private secretary. The queen generally liked the "Old Head" obverse, though she disliked Brock's second obverse, which was thereafter dropped. She disliked Brock's reverse for the half crown and Poynter's for the shilling. The two sculptors prepared new versions, though Poynter wanted extra pay, which he did not get. It was unclear who would engrave the designs into steel dies, as Leonard Wyon, the engraver to the Royal Mint, had died in 1891, leaving no clear successor. Brock eventually suggested George William De Saulles, a Birminghamborn engraver who had worked in London for John Pinches, but had since returned to his native city to work for the medallist, Joseph Moore. Victoria had not sat for Brock; the sculptor worked from photographs of her, of which he had several. His original version was in wax, from which a plaster cast was made. Once the committee had approved his work, he made a new cast, working to make the coin of low relief, s
uitable for coining. De Saulles used a reducing lathe to make coinsize hubs, from which coinage dies could be made. This process left a number of small lines on the steel of the hubs; these were removed by De Saulles under Brock's supervision. Poynter similarly supervised the process for the reverses he had designed. De Saulles was responsible for much of the work involving the profile and lettering on the obverses of the coins. Design Brock's design for the obverse features a leftfacing bust of Victoria, with the features of an older woman. She wears a diadem, partially obscured by a veil that hangs down behind the ear. Her straight hair is swept up from the temple, above the visible ear, from which dangles a singledrop earring. She wears a frillnecked bodice, with a mantle over it, and also a necklace with pendant. On the mantle, facing the viewer, is the Star of the Garter, with its outer portion partially obscured by the veil. The designer's initials, are under the bust's truncation, on most denominat
ions near the D in . Except for the half crown, the coins bear on the obverse the legend . On the half crown, the Latin legend does not differ in meaning, but it reads on the obverse, with on the reverse. The , was new to British coinage, but Victoria had sought its inclusion as early as 1888. Balked then, she was successful with the introduction of the Old Head coinage five years later. "Britanniarum", meaning "the Britains", was abbreviated as , through the intervention of William Gladstone. A Latin scholar as well as a politician, Gladstone had invoked the rule that an abbreviation of a plural noun in Latin is to be rendered with a doubled final consonant. The motto "an ornament and a safeguard" were added to the edge of the crown, as well as the regnal year in Roman numerals thus some 1893 crowns render this as the 56th year of Victoria's reign and some as , with the pattern continuing through 1900 the last year of Victoria's reign in which crowns were struck. Crowns with on them with the regnal ye
ar were first struck during the reign of Charles II. At that time, the edge legend had the practical purpose of deterring the illicit clipping of coins to remove metal. The wording, , was said to have been suggested by a Mr Evelyn based on a vignette of Cardinal de Richelieu's Greek Testament. The gold coinage bore Pistrucci's Saint George and the Dragon design. The plume on the saint's helmet, which had featured in Pistrucci's original design for the fivepound and twopound pieces before later being removed and then restored in 1887, was redesigned. The half sovereign, though it bears Pistrucci's design, does not bear his initials, and the numismatist, Richard Lobel, commented, "how the egotistical Italian, who spelt his name in full on the 1818 crown, would have hated that!" The Australian branch mints at Sydney and Melbourne would issue gold sovereigns of the United Kingdom type with Brock's portrait from 1893 to 1901, with the new branch mint at Perth issuing similar coins from 1899 to 1901. Half sovereig
ns from the Australian mints were also issued, though not in all years The half crown, the first coin of that value to proclaim its value on its face, depicts a shield within the collar of the Order of the Garter. Poynter's design for the shilling and florin show shields with the arms of England, Scotland and Ireland on separate shields, with the whole surrounded by a Garter. The shilling had seen its value engraved on its face from 1831 until the Jubilee redesign; the words were restored to it. The sixpence and threepence would continue to bear their previous designs; all denominations less than the crown would now bear a statement of value. On the penny and its fractions, the figure of Britannia from previous issues was made more erect and alert, and the sailing ship and lighthouse seen on either side of her was omitted; they would be restored in 1937. Sir John Craig, in his history of the Royal Mint, considered Brock's efforts, "the least unsuccessful" of the submitted designs. Peter Seaby, in his histo
ry of British coinage, deemed the depiction, "a new and improved portrait of the queen", with a larger portrait than on the Jubilee coinage. Leonard Forrer, in his 1916 Biographical Dictionary of Medallists, deemed the obverse "a splendid portrait of the Queen by that scholarly sculptor, Sir Thomas Brock", though he characterised Poynter's reverses as "not very satisfactory". Circulation On 30 January 1893, the date of the proclamation declaring the new coins current, Fremantle displayed the new coins for the press at the Royal Mint, getting a reaction far more positive than the Jubilee coinage had six years previously. The Birmingham Daily Post reported that "the result is a distinct success ... Her Majesty's features have a most pleasing expression". The Pall Mall Gazette noted that, "it would be damning them with faint praise merely to say that they are of superior appearance to the Jubilee issue", and that though the use of the power to include the Empress of India title was belated, it was unquestionab
ly valid, since British coins were legal tender in the colonies. The Lancaster Gazetter wrote on 8 February, "The new coinage starts at a great advantage, for it supplants some of the most unfortunate designs that the Mint has ever put in circulation. In a few days' time it will be in everybody's hands." The Daily News wrote, Not all liked the new visage of the queen. The Liberal Unionist MP, James Parker Smith, stated in the House of Commons that the new sovereigns reminded him of the whist counters that could be purchased at twenty for tuppence, "he did not think anyone who was conversant with coins would be quite satisfied with it. A great deal too much was attempted to be crowded into the design". Victoria herself may have been dissatisfied with the new obverse, for the new chancellor, William Harcourt, wrote to her on 1 February 1893 expressing "his entire concurrence in Your Majesty's View that the Queen's head in the new coinage leaves much to be desired both in likeness and execution". The painter,
Philip Wilson Steer, felt that the queen's necklace, earring and orders gave the new obverse "a certain tawdry look" and felt that Poynter's designs were cramped, with the lettering on the shilling oversized. There was some objection from Wales to the exclusion of any emblem of that nation from the coinage, given the depiction of symbols of England, Scotland and Ireland, and some wanted a leek or dragon included. John Leighton of the Society of Antiquaries, though, stated that he found the leek "far from decorative and as difficult to characterise as a carrot". Fremantle deemed the new obverse "almost the popular portrait of the Queen" and praised De Saulles for his part in "the favourable reception of coins both by experts and by the public generally". Sets of proof coins of the new issue, dated 1893, were sold by the Royal Mint to the public at a premium. No bronze coins the penny and its fractions had been struck with the Jubilee portrait, as there was then a large surplus of them. In 1895, De Saulles a
dapted Brock's obverse for the bronze pieces, making modifications to their reverses, and these were made current by a proclamation dated 11 May 1895. Queen Victoria died in January 1901. Coins depicting her, dated 1901 and using the obverse by Brock, continued to be struck until the new coinage designed by De Saulles for her successor, Edward VII, was ready in May 1902.

The village has grown together with 't Waar, however both are considered separate entities even though they share facilities. History NieuwScheemda was established in 1659 as a daughter settlement of Scheemda. In 1545, a first dike was built along the Dollart. In 1597, a second dike was constructed which resulted in more than of additional land to be cultivated. NieuwScheemda is located in the reclaimed land. In 1661, the church of the village was constructed. There are three polder mills in NieuwScheemda. It contains the Paaltjasker NieuwScheemda, the only remaining tjasker in Groningen which was constructed in 1992 by the municipality Scheemda. The polder mill is a 1855 windmill which used to be located in 't Waar, however the polder had fallen dry and it was decided to move the mill to the Tichelwaark polder where it functions as an emergency backup i
n case the pumping station fails. Between 1910 until 1934, a railway line and train station was located in NieuwScheemda, however only the coffee house has remained. In 2009, the municipality of Scheemda merged into Oldambt.

Wayland Hall, also known as Watton Town Hall, is a community events venue in Middle Street, Watton, Norfolk, England the structure, which also accommodates a local history museum, is a grade II listed building. History In the mid19th century, a group of local businessmen decided to form a company to raise funds for the erection of an events venue in the town the site they selected was on the north side of what was then the Market Place. The foundation stone was laid by Lady Walsingham of Merton Hall on 26 April 1853. The building was designed by Edward Buckton Lamb in the Gothic Revival style, built in red and buff bricks with stone dressings and was completed later that year. The name chosen for the building, Wayland Hall, recalled the location of the town and its town hall within the ancient Wayland Hundred. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with a single bay facing onto the Market Place; there was a threelight casement window flanked by singlelight windows on the ground floor, a twolight c
asement window flanked by shorter singlelight windows on the first floor and a gable containing an oculus above. The corners were canted and featured bartizantype structures on the first floor. Internally, the principal rooms were the reading room on the ground floor and the main hall, which featured a hammerbeam roof, on the first floor. Petty session hearings were held in the building once a fortnight in the 19th century and one of the rooms was converted into a cinema so that silent films could be shown in 1933. During the Second World War, the US Eighth Air Force used the airfield at RAF Watton as an air depot and the United States Air Force subsequently presented a shield and an accompanying commemorative plaque to the town these were later installed in the building. In the 1950s, a public library was established in the building and, following local government reorganisation in 1974, the new town council acquired the building, converted one of the rooms into a council chamber and also established its ow
n offices in the building. A programme of works, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, to convert two of the rooms in the building into a local history museum was completed in March 2018. A room on the ground floor became a research room and a room on the first floor was used as an exhibition area. Items in the collection include a model of a human skeleton, records relating to the manorial court of Watton Hall and memorabilia from RAF Watton. The memorabilia from RAF Watton had its origins in the Wartime Watton Museum which was established in the 1980s but closed when many of buildings on the airfield were demolished to make for the Blenheim Grange Housing Estate. The collection also includes an axe which is thought to be up to 600,000 years old.

The Great Synagogue of Marseille is a synagogue on Rue Breteuil in the 6th arrondissement of Marseille. It is classed as a monument historique since 2007. When the previous synagogue on the Rue Grignan was in disrepair and too small, a campaign began in 1855 to raise money for a new site. The design by the architect Nathan Salomon was approved in 1860 and the building finished in 1864. The synagogue takes the basilica form more commonly associated with ancient Greece and Rome, and churches. It is built in the RomanoByzantine style, and takes influence from the Synagogue de Nazareth, completed in Paris in 1852. A pulpit and an organ both also associated more with Christian buildings than Jewish ones feature inside, and the mix of Western and Oriental designs was chosen to reflect the diversity of the worshippers. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve visited the synagogue in January 2016, in solidarity with a local teacher who was attacked by a teenage Islamic State sympathiser. In September 2018, former
President of France Nicolas Sarkozy spoke at the synagogue to denounce antisemitism. References Marseille Buildings and structures completed in 1864 Monuments historiques of Marseille 6th arrondissement of Marseille

Boone County Museum of History is an interactive museum of history, art, and popular culture located in the South State Street Historic District in Belvidere, Illinois. Established by members of the Boone County Historical Society, the museum's mission is to stimulate interest in Boone County history through education, research, and collection and preservation of artifacts and archival material. An extensive museum complex encloses under its roof an exhaustive Boone County archival collection, thousands of artifacts, several historic carriages and vintage automobiles, an exhibit celebrating 1969 Miss America Judith Ford, and the entire twostory pioneer log cabin of a Manchester Township family farm. History The Boone County Historical Society was incorporated in 1903, and began collecting items and records from its first announcements. Converted from the downtown Belvidere Gas Electric building, the Boone County Historical Museum opened to visitors in 1968. In 2013, the museum was reopened, enlarged by the
addition of a neighboring bank building and a more modern, vaulted creation providing meeting and gathering space. A bronze statue by a local artist honoring Boone County first responders is displayed on the museum's grounds. Exhibits Duxtad log cabin In 1974, the Duxtad family partially disassembled their 130year old log farmhouse and began moving the entire structure fourteen miles south to be reassembled on a concrete slab next to the museum. By 1976, the entire twostory cabin had been restored and completely enclosed by an extension of the museum's building. Today the first floor of the farmhouse helps demonstrate the tools and artifacts of 1840's pioneer life in Northern Illinois while the second story helps to familiarize young children with concepts of the family farm. Judy Ford exhibit In 1968, local Belvidere beauty Judy Ford competed for Miss Illinois and was eventually selected 1969 Miss America in the national pageant. The museum hosts a number of unique artifacts of Ford's competition and r
eign, including a short film of her talent competition entry which features Bert Parks serenading Ford with There She Is, Miss America as she wore her crown for the first time. Vehicles In the collection are several rare conveyances, including horsedrawn brougham and hearse carriages. An 1904 Eldredge Runabout manufactured in Belvidere by the National Sewing Machine Company occupies a prominent place in the museum's foyer opposite an ivory 1965 Plymouth Fury II, the first chassis to come off the production line at the Belvidere Assembly Plant, an early donation to the museum by Chrysler. A 1924 Ford Model T convertible occupies a space next to an example of the pennyfarthing, the first bicycle. Funderburg House In 2020, the Funderburg House, an historic 1906 Belvidere mansion, was donated by KB Farms. Since the donation, the society has spent time and expertise restoring the donated property as museum and meeting space, officially opening the facility in early 2022 after a preview in December.

BAT997 is a WNtype WolfRayet star located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, in the constellation of Dorado, about 160,000 light years away. The star has a spectrum containing extremely broad emission lines, and is the prototype for the "round line" stars, WolfRayet stars whose spectra are characterized by strong and broad emission lines with round line profiles. The broad emission lines hint at an extremely high temperature of nearly 160,000 Kelvin, which would make it the hottest of all WN stars with known temperatures, as well as an extraordinarily large mass loss rate for a WolfRayet star in the LMC, at , which means that every 30,200 years, the star loses 1 solar mass worth of mass.

Illuminators is a live album by drummer Sunny Murray. It was recorded at the The Knitting Factory in New York City and was released in 1996 by Audible Hiss. On the album, Murray is joined by saxophonist and pianist Charles Gayle. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Rob Ferrier wrote "Sunny Murray and Charles Gayle... here engage in an intense musical discussion... While the mood can only be described as tense, these musicians pay careful attention to each other, not arguing so much as conversing. This music is dense but never crowded, and never ever directionless... Not many instrumentalists could keep up with Murray's volcano. In Gayle, Murray has found a voice to rival the visceral power he once grappled with in Ayler's band. To both musicians' credit, each seems content to flex their muscle rather than knock the listener about the head and shoulders with it." The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 3 stars, and commented "The duo with Gayle was to provide some of the most f
erociously beautiful live moments of the '90s. Inevitably, it transfers to record only with an overall loss of drive, but these five pieces... are as clear a representation of his art as one could hope for.... Murray still cleaves to a dark, punchy groove, the percussion equivalent of what Cecil Taylor was doing, but with more song in it." Track listing Track timings not provided.

Lechenaultia ovata is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to the Northern Territory. It is a perennial herb with rather fleshy, eggshaped leaves, and white flowers. Description Lechenaultia lutescens is a glabrous, perennial herb up to high and wide with many more or less erect stems. The leaves are eggshaped, rather fleshy, long and wide. The flowers are arranged singly on the ends of stems, the lower sepal lobes long and the upper lobes longer than the others. The petals are white, long, the upper lobes erect with very narrow wings, the lower lobes spreading with wings wide. Flowering occurs sporadically, and the fruit is long. Taxonomy Lechenaultia ovata was first formally described in 1988 by David A. Morrison in the journal Telopea from specimens collected near Jabiru by Lyndley Craven in 1973. The specific epithet ovata means "wider below the middle". Distribution and habitat This leschenaultia grows with sedges in sandy depressions in a few places on the T
op End of the Northern Territory. Conservation status This leschenaultia is listed as of "least concern" under the Northern Territory Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 1976. References Asterales of Australia lutescens Flora of the Northern Territory Plants described in 1988

Mehely's blind molerat Spalax antiquus is an endangered species of rodent in the family Spalacidae. It is endemic to Romania. Taxonomy Previously described in 1909 by Lajos Mhel as a subspecies of the Balkan molerat S. graecus, a 2013 morphological and phylogenetic analysis found it to be a distinct, welldefined species. It is thought to be the sister species to S. graecus, and it is thought that the Carpathian Orogeny led to the separation of both species. The American Society of Mammalogists and IUCN Red List follow the results of this study. Distribution and habitat This species is restricted to Romania, where it is thought to be an endemic species of the Carpathian Basin. It inhabits steppe and foreststeppe grasslands on the Transylvanian Plain. Its habitats are largely used as pastureland, although it avoids overgrazed pastures. Status This species has suffered a heavy decline in recent decades, and is classified as an endangered species by the IUCN Red List. It is thought to number between 3,550 a
nd 3,800 mature individuals, and may have been extirpated from the southern and southeastern regions of the Transylvanian Plain. The primary threat to this species are the different factors leading to habitat loss; most populations only survive in suboptimal habitat due as the heavy cultivation of the most favorable habitats, which are fertile loess soils. The most important factor leading to its decline is deep tillage, which prevents the formation of suitable vegetation types and destroys the burrows of this species. In addition, this species is threatened by development and overgrazing of its habitats. Climate change may also affect this species, as genetic and fossil evidence indicates that blind molerats were historically sensitive to climate fluctuations prior fluctuations spurred diversification rather than extinction among molerats, but there are little to no dispersal capabilities left for molerats in the modern day in order to adapt to ongoing changes, but the extent and direction of this impact re
mains uncertain. References Spalax Rodents of Europe Endangered biota of Europe Endemic fauna of Romania Mammals described in 1909 Taxa named by Lajos Mhel

She was educated at the high school of Geneva, New York, Wheaton College Illinois, and Washington University in St. Louis St. Louis, Missouri. Blaine was reared in a Prohibition home, and while still a young girl, she became a very active participant at temperance meetings, where she won great favor for her songs and recitations. While at Wheaton College she joined the Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union WCTU, and in her home town, she became an officer of that organization. Career She married Don P. Blaine, of Romulus, New York, March 13, 1890, and after her marriage, lived at Ovid, New York. There, she served as president of the Ovid WCTU and as an officer of the Seneca County organization.

etaining a summer residence at Ovid. In Washington, she became a Young WCTU local president and general secretary of the Loyal Temperance Legion. In 1903, she became general secretary of the District of Columbia's Young WCTU and inaugurated an organizing campaign which won the national prize banner for the largest increase in membership in the United States. She was appointed a national Young WCTU organizer and retained this office, making frequent trips afield. In 1910, she was elected to the position of organizer and lecturer of the National WCTU. Her most elaborate effort, a pageantplay called "Columbia's Congress", was launched in Washington in 1910, and later, this production was presented in some of the largest cities in the U.S. From 200 to 350 persons appeared in the cast. Blaine was for many years a trustee of the District of Columbia AntiSaloon League and an active worker in the campaign for Prohibition in the District. In 1913, Blaine was appointed by President Wilson as a delegate representing t
he United States Government at the Fourteenth International Congress on Alcoholism, at Milan, Italy. In April 1915, under the auspices of the Central WCTU and the Brooklyn Sunday School Union, Blain was in charge of rehearsals for "Columbia's Congress" a temperance play she wrote in 2011 involving two hundreds persons participants. In 1916, she was obliged to resign the position of organizer and lecturer of the National WCTU because of serious illness which permanently affected her health. She was a member of the American Executive Committee, appointed by the U. S. Department of State to arrange for the Fifteenth International Congress, which was held at Washington, September 2120, 1920. Blaine was the author of the pageant dedicated to the foreign nations represented at the Congress. Blain presented different tableaus involving the eras of American history and presented through living prototypes people whose lives illuminated American history. These included scenes to appeal strongly to the American spirit,
such as that showing General Washington with makers of the Constitution and continental advisers in attendance. This pageant, entitled "The Spirit of Temperance", was written and presented by Blaine, with professional assistance in its direction, at the east front of the Capitol on the first evening of the Congress. She was long noted for her unusual ability in employing music and drama in the presentation of temperance messages, having written numerous songs and exercises for children and young people, which she has presented in connection with her work in Washington and in the field. Another feature of her work was the organization of temperance massmeetings of Sundayschool children, usually preceded by a formal parade. The largest of these was held in Washington in May, 1913, when 3,000 children marched in the parade and three auditoriums were used simultaneously for the massmeetings, which were addressed by Secretary of the Navy the Hon. Josephus Daniels and by Blaine who gave an illustrated talk, assis
ted by children in costume. Personal life She died at Romulus, New York, May 15, 1932.

Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect Dublin Edition was the second 'pirated' edition of Robert Burns's work, being published in Ireland without permission from or payment to the author or publisher. It is a socalled 'Stinking Edition', carrying the error 'Stinking' for the Scots word 'Skinking' watery in the poem "To a Haggis" because the type setters copied from a 1787 'Stinking Edition' of Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect Edinburgh Edition. This single volume issue is a collection of poetry and songs by Robert Burns, originally "Printed for the author and sold by William Creech" in Edinburgh. MDCCLXXXVII The date of publication for the 'Dublin Edition' as advertised in Finn's Leinster Journal was 29 September 1787, making it the second unauthorised or 'pirated' and the fourth actual edition of the 'Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect'. The 'Belfast Edition' had been first advertised in the Belfast News Letter on 25 September 1787, making it the third edition of the poems and the first 'pirated'
edition. The Kilmarnock Edition had made Robert Burns Caledonia's Bard whilst the 'Edinburgh Edition', the 'Belfast Edition', 'Dublin Edition' and the 'London Edition', all published in 1787, eventually elevated him into a position amongst the world's greatest poets. The Edition and its contents It was the fourth published edition of Burns's poems, his first edition having been printed in Kilmarnock in 1786. The 'Belfast Edition' cost 2 shillings, eight and a half pence in boards and 3 shillings, three pence bound' and the 'Dublin Edition' was probably similarly priced. It is not known how many copies of the 'Dublin Edition' were printed, the situation being complicated by it being James Magee's edition, issued under the imprint of William Gilbert, a bookseller. Around 3,250 copies of the 'Edinburgh Edition' were printed at 5 shillings for subscribers and 6 shillings for nonsubscribers. Only 612 copies of the Kilmarnock Edition of which 88 are known to survive, but no record exists of the numbers of the Be
lfast and Dublin Editions printed. A single volume, it was again dedicated to the "Noblemen and Gentlemen of the Caledonian Hunt". The 1787 Dublin, Belfast and Edinburgh editions all contain an extra seventeen poems and five new songs and most of the poems present in the 1786 Kilmarnock Edition are reprinted such as "Halloween", "The Twa Dogs", "The Cotter's Saturday Night", "To a Mouse", etc. New poems included Death and Doctor Hornbrook, The Brigs of Ayr, The Holy Fair, John Barleycorn, Address to the Unco Guid, or the Rigidly Righteous and significantly To a Haggis often given elsewhere as Address to a Haggis. The contents differ as the dedication is followed by Extracts from The Lounger, No.97; the Table of Contents, then the 'Text' and finishing with the 'Glossary'. Unsurprisingly no subscribers list was included. Nearly twice the length of the Kilmarnock Edition of 1786, it was printed in 12mo or Duodecimo rather than the demy octavo format of the 'Edinburgh Edition'. The smaller size made the print
ing less expensive, and text from the octavo edition was condensed into a duodecimo of 286 text pages with a considerable saving in paper, a valuable material before the regular use of wood pulp paper; 368 pages was the comparable length of the first 'Edinburgh Edition'. Interestingly in this context William Gilbert was a signatory to a "Petition to the House of Commons respecting paper" in 1773. The volume was published in French gray paper 'printers' boards and has two identified printer's errors, namely the absence of a signature on page one and 16 on the misnumbered page 160 . The 'chain and line' or laid paper used for the text has a watermark, but unlike the 'Edinburgh Edition' paper, it is not a fleurdelis. Measuring 15.7 cm by 9.5 cm trimmed, it included the expanded glossary or 'dictionary' of the Scots language for those unfamiliar with the many Scots words that Burns used. Burns used annotations to clarify or enhance the understanding of his works such as with Halloween on page 109 and his n
otes on the 'Cove of Colean' Culzean as the Elfhame or home of the fairies. The Stinking Edition The 'Stinking Edition' or 'Stinking Burns' is so called because of the original spelling mistake in the partial second inpression of the 'Edinburgh Edition', found also here in the 'Belfast' and 'Dublin' editions. The origin of the error is because William Smellie had printed a first run of pages as far as the gathering or signature 'Mm' when he discovered that he had insufficient copies to cover all the subscribers and due to a shortage of type he was forced to reset the printing blocks and repeat the run as a partial second impression. In the haste to reset the blocks a large number of mainly minor errors were introduced, the most famous of which is the substitution of a 't' for a 'k' that converted the Scots word 'skinking' meaning watery into 'stinking'. Around 1000 out of 3000 copies of the 1787 'Edinburgh Edition' carried the error. The bookseller William Gilbert, bookseller, of Dublin, is thought to have
had a connection with the well known printer and publisher James Magee of Bridge Street, Belfast, possibly as a business partner. 26 South Great George's Street, Dublin is the address given in the 1795 Wilson's Dublin Directory, the bookshop was likely however to have been at No.46. Printed in Belfast by James Magee, the Dublin edition appeared under William Gilbert's name. The Portrait of Robert Burns William Creech commissioned Alexander Nasmyth to paint Burns's portrait from which John Beugo engraved the copper plate required for the printing process. The 'Belfast' and 'Dublin' editions however had a frontispiece engraving by P. Halpin rather than the John Beugo engraving. Burns's image looks to the left in Beugo's engraving, but Halpin's portrait looks to the right. Subsequent editions In 1789 the edition was reissued by William Gilbert from the same address. In 1793 a two volume Second Edinburgh Edition was published, much enlarged and for the first time containing the poem Tam o' Shanter, although I
