Stanisław Komorowski | Diplomacy | With Minister Komorowski seated across the table from our negotiators during U.S.-Polish talks on a Status of Forces Agreement, we knew we would come up with an agreement that met both sides’ needs, and we did. His energy, his leadership and his mastery of security issues will be sorely missed by his American colleagues at the United States Departments of State and Defense. America mourns a true friend." | wiki:101 |
Stanisław Komorowski | Interests | He was an avid skier and ski instructor as well as tennis player. During his university years, he was an active member of the Academic Ski Association (his father was a member of the International Ski Federation) and during his high school years he skied with members of the Catholic Intelligentsia Club (pol. Klub Inteligencji Katolickiej). One of his passions was parks and gardens and, for a short time in 1990, he had a small gardening company; with his wife Maria Komorowska they created three gardens before they closed the company. His other passion was French culture; as a student he spent his vacations in France with Dziadulski family. | wiki:102 |

Walter Newman Haldeman | Introduction | Walter N Haldeman (April 27, 1821 in Maysville, Kentucky – May 13, 1902 in Louisville, Kentucky) was an American newspaper publisher, owner, and businessman from Louisville, KY, in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1844 Mr. Haldeman founded the "Louisville Courier", a pro-secessionist newspaper both before and during the Civil War. It was shut down by Federal authorities in September 1861, but Haldeman fearing arrest as a traitor, removed to Bowling Green, Ky., where he continued publication. After the war, in 1868, the "Courier" merged with its cross-town rival -- the pro-Union Louisville Journal -- to form the "Louisville Courier-Journal". | wiki:106 |
Walter Newman Haldeman | Introduction | Mr. Haldeman became president of the new corporation. The combined paper is still in circulation and currently owned by the Gannett Company. As a businessman, Mr. Haldeman is also known as the founder of Naples, Florida and the owner of the Major League Baseball team, the Louisville Grays; a charter member of the National League. His son, John Haldeman, played in one game for the Grays in 1877. Although a force in 19th Century U.S. newspaper business, Mr. Haldeman shied away from the spotlight, as a "New York Times" article from May 14, 1902 described him as "a man of unusual force of character, but remarkably modest, so that he resented any form of publicity about himself"; thus providing the spotlight for the Courier-Journal editor, Henry Watterson. | wiki:107 |
Walter Newman Haldeman | Early years | Walter N. Haldeman was the son of John Haldeman and Elizabeth Newman, and was born in Maysville, KY where he spent his childhood years. He attended Maysville Academy with future prominent Americans' Ulysses S. Grant, William H. Wadsworth, Thomas H. Nelson, and William "Bull" Nelson under the tutelage of Professor William A. Richardson. At age 16 Mr. Haldeman moved with his family to Louisville, KY where he worked in a grocery store and commission house. In 1840 Mr. Haldeman started his newspaper career in a clerical position at the Louisville Journal, but within a few years he had opened his own bookstore and print shop. | wiki:108 |
Clavaria fragilis | Introduction | Clavaria fragilis, commonly known as fairy fingers, white worm coral, or white spindles, is a species of fungus in the family Clavariaceae. It is synonymous with "Clavaria vermicularis". The fungus is the type species of the genus "Clavaria" and is a typical member of the clavarioid or club fungi. It produces tubular, unbranched, white basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that typically grow in clusters. The fruit bodies can reach dimensions of tall by thick. "Clavaria fragilis" is a saprobic species, growing in woodland litter or in old, unimproved grassland. It is widespread throughout temperate regions in the Northern Hemisphere, but has also been reported from Australia and South Africa. | wiki:109 |
Clavaria fragilis | Introduction | The fungus is edible, but insubstantial and flavorless. There are several other small white coral-like fungi with which "C. fragilis" may be confused. | wiki:110 |
Clavaria fragilis | History and taxonomy | "Clavaria fragilis" was originally described from Denmark in 1790 by Danish naturalist and mycologist Theodor Holmskjold, and was sanctioned under this name by Elias Magnus Fries in his 1821 "Systema Mycologicum". The Latin epithet "fragilis" refers to the brittle fruit bodies. The species was redescribed by Swedish mycologist Olof Swartz in 1811, using the name "Clavaria vermicularis" (the epithet meaning "wormlike"). Though it is a later synonym—and thus obsolete according to the principle of priority—the latter name is still frequently used today. There are several other names considered to be synonymous with "C. fragilis" by the online taxonomical database MycoBank (see the taxobox). | wiki:111 |
Clavaria fragilis | History and taxonomy | In North America, the fungus has colloquially been called "fairy fingers" or "white worm coral". In the UK its recommended English name is "white spindles". British naturalist Samuel Frederick Gray called it the "worm club-stool" in his 1821 "A Natural Arrangement of British Plants". | wiki:112 |
Clavaria fragilis | Description | The fruit bodies of "C. fragilis" are irregularly tubular, smooth to furrowed, sometimes compressed, very fragile, white, up to tall by thick, and typically grow in dense clusters. The tip of the fruit body tapers to a point, and may yellow and curve with age. There is no distinct stalk, although it is evident as a short, semitransparent zone of tissue at the base of the club. Microscopically, the hyphae of the flesh are swollen up to 12 µm wide and lack clamp connections. The spores are smooth, colourless, ellipsoid to oblong, measuring 5–7 by 3–4 µm. The spores are white in deposit. | wiki:113 |
Clavaria fragilis | Description | The basidia (spore bearing cells) measure 40–50 by 6–8 µm, and lack clamps at their bases. | wiki:114 |
Clavaria fragilis | Edibility | "Clavaria fragilis" is edible, but the fruit bodies are insubstantial and fragile. One field guide says "its flesh is tasteless and so delicate that it seems to dissolve in one's mouth." Its odor has been compared to iodine. | wiki:115 |
Clavaria fragilis | Distribution and habitat | The species occurs throughout the Northern Hemisphere, in Europe, North America, and Asia. In North America, it is more common east of the Rocky Mountains. It has also been recorded from Australia and South Africa. In 2006, it was reported from the Arctic zone of the Ural Mountains, in Russia. The fungus grows in woodland and in grassland on moist soil, and is presumed to be saprobic, rotting fallen leaf litter and dead grass stems. The fruit bodies tend to grow in groups, tufts or clusters. Although they can grow singly, they are typically inconspicuous unless in clusters. | wiki:116 |
Clavaria fragilis | Similar species | Similar fungi with simple, white fruit bodies include "Clavaria acuta", an equally widespread species that typically grows singly or in small groups rather than in dense clusters and can be distinguished microscopically by its clamped basidia and larger spores; the morphologically similar, but rare "C. atkinsoniana", found in the southwestern and central United States, which cannot be distinguished from "C. fragilis" by field characteristics alone but has larger spores—8.5–10 by 4.5–5 µm; "C. rubicundula", another North American species, which is similar in stature but has a reddish tint; and "Multiclavula mucida", a widespread lichenized species with smaller fruit bodies that occurs with its associated algae on moist wood. | wiki:117 |
Clavaria fragilis | Conservation status | In North America, "Clavaria fragilis" has been called "by far our most common "Clavaria"". In northern Europe, it is one of a suite of "CHEG" fungi (CHEG standing for ""Clavarioid fungi-Hygrocybe-Entoloma-Geoglossaceae"") considered to be indicator species of old, unimproved grassland (permanent grassland that has not been cultivated for some years). Though such grasslands are a threatened habitat in Europe, "C. fragilis" is one of the commoner CHEG species. It is, nonetheless, on the national red list of threatened fungi in the Netherlands and Slovenia. | wiki:118 |

In 1973 the European Community entrusted Lotti for the construction of a dam on the Sankarani river, tributary to the Niger, near the town of Sélingué. The 35m high dam was completed under the supervision of the designer in 1980. The electric power generated non only covers the domestic demand but it is also exported to the neighboring countries. Furthermore, the dam controls the flood, and, above all, provides for a rich fishery. The creation of the Bakolori dam in the Northern Nigeria, in collaboration with Nuovo Castoro company, is of great importance. | wiki:130 |
Carlo Lotti | Dams in Africa | The project includes a large dam equipped with 3MW hydropower plant and the irrigation scheme for 23000 ha. A second project in the area was the Goronyo Dam with a reservoir of one billion m³. | wiki:131 |
Carlo Lotti | River basin planning | The complete basin planning requires the participation of experts from several sectors: hydrology, hydraulics, agriculture, economy, engineering and others. A mathematical is capable of handling all factors together. The methodology was developed at the Harvard University. Important project derived from the collaboration between Lotti and the Harvard group for optimal use of water resources. A first project concerned the Sava river, tributary to the Danube. The UNDP project was assigned jointly to Lotti and Hydroject of Prague. The model selected 32 reservoirs out of the 57 examined. The first application of the method within Italy was the Tiber project, under the direction of IRSA. | wiki:132 |
Carlo Lotti | Messina bridge | Lotti participated in the international contest for the design of the bridge across the Messina strait.

Carlo Lotti | Flood control in China | Lotti went to China for the first time in 1971 with the Italian Foreign Commerce Ministry delegation. Successively, a project for flood control management started in 1982. The Italian Technical Cooperation financed the project. The aim of the projects was not only the development of the plan but included the training of the personnel and supply of a pilot measuring network. The study area was the river Han, tributary to Yangtze. A large dam was built for flood control and hydropower. The optimal management of the dam is of great economic and environmental significance. Another, similar project concerned the river Huai. | wiki:134 |
Carlo Lotti | Municipal water network | The loss of water in municipal network represents and significant reduction of the available resources.

Mount Graham red squirrel | Introduction | The Mount Graham red squirrel ("Tamiasciurus hudsonicus grahamensis") is an endangered subspecies of the American red squirrel ("Tamiasciurus hudsonicus") native to the Pinaleño Mountains of Arizona. It is smaller than most other subspecies of red squirrel, and also does not have the white-fringed tail that is common to the species. Its diet consists mainly of mixed seeds, conifer cones and air-dried fungi. It exhibits similar behavior to other squirrels in its species. | wiki:153 |
Mount Graham red squirrel | Physical | The Mount Graham red squirrel is a generally tiny squirrel weighing on average around and measuring about in length. The subspecies also has a tail. Unlike most other squirrels in its species, the squirrels do not have a white-fringed tail. Both females and males share similar markings and features and are typically grayish brown in color with rusty yellow or orange markings on their backside. During the winter season the squirrels ears are tufted with fur, and during the summer a black lateral line is observed on the squirrel. The skull of the subspecies is rounded and its teeth are low-crowned. | wiki:154 |
Mount Graham red squirrel | Behavior | Mount Graham red squirrels behave in a manner similar to most other subspecies of American red squirrel. They are diurnal and do not hibernate during the winter months, but instead carry out activities in the mid-day sun. Mount Graham squirrels usually eat a diet of mixed seeds, conifer cones and air-dried fungi. | wiki:155 |
Mount Graham red squirrel | Habitat | Historically, the Mount Graham red squirrel inhabited about of spruce-fir, mixed-conifer and ecotone zone habitats that were generally at higher elevations throughout the Pinaleño Mountains. Recent data shows that it occurs more frequently at the ecotone zone than the other habitats. When choosing a potential nesting site, the squirrels typically pick a cool, moist area with an abundance of food sources. Drought, forest fires, and insect infestation have been responsible for a decrease of the squirrel in the spruce-fir habitat. | wiki:156 |
Mount Graham red squirrel | Conservation | The Mount Graham subspecies was believed to be extinct in the 1950s, but was "rediscovered" in the 1970s. After its rediscovery, it was suggested for threatened or endangered species status under the Endangered Species Act in 1982. On May 21, 1986, the subspecies was officially recommended to become an endangered species, and on June 3, 1987, was officially listed as endangered. The Mount Graham International Observatory was controversial when it was built in the squirrel's habitat; the observatory has been required to monitor the community near the observatory to determine if its construction is having any negative effects on the population. | wiki:157 |
Mount Graham red squirrel | Conservation | Habitat loss is also occurring at high levels for a variety of natural and anthropogenic reasons. In 1988, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated most of this area as a refuge, and access to the area is only granted with a special permit. A lightning strike on June 7, 2017, started a fire that might have led to the extinction of this subspecies. In September 2019, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agreed to consider if the squirrel needed further protection. They were petitioned under a procedure of the Endangered Species Act by a group that contends it is necessary to remove the observatory and other private structures. | wiki:158 |

Amsterdam Gate, Jakarta | Introduction | The Amsterdam Gate () formed the entrance to the Castle Square () south of Batavia Castle. The gate existed from 1744 up to the 1950s in what is now known as Kota, Jakarta, where it would have stood near the intersection of Jalan Nelayan Timur and Jalan Cengkeh. | wiki:180 |
Amsterdam Gate, Jakarta | History | Amsterdam Poort was first built in the 17th century. During the rule of governor-general Gustaaf Willen Baron van Imhoff between 1743 and 1750, the castle of Batavia was expanded. Among the involved works was the demolition of the fort's original southeast wall. A new southeast wall was built further south along the Amsterdamse Gracht (current day Nelayan Timur street), thereby including the Castle Square within the castle grounds. The newly build gate was changed to Rococo style. The entrance through the new wall was formed by a gatehouse of two storeys high and topped with a dome and clock. Part of this building was used as a prison, in a similar fashion as the Gevangenpoort in The Hague. | wiki:181 |
Amsterdam Gate, Jakarta | History | Owing to its location at the Amsterdamse Gracht, the gate was called the Amsterdamse Poort. Other names include "Pinangpoort" (, after the trade in pinang that took place there) and "Kasteelpoort" (). In 1808, governor-general Daendels commissioned the relocation of the seat of government to Weltevreden. The construction works there were supplied partially by reusing building material from the Castle of Batavia. Most buildings on the castle grounds had been demolished, save for a part of the Amsterdam gate and connected arcades. The arched wing of the gate was connected to the building that formed part of the fort. | wiki:182 |
Amsterdam Gate, Jakarta | Architecture | The gate was originally part of a baroque gatehouse, large enough to accommodate a small prison. The gatehouse had two storeys and was covered by a dome with a cupola on top. Semi-circular arcades connected the gatehouse to two flanking military buildings. The remains of the gate after the demolitions of Daendels only counted one storey. The gateway had a rounded arch and was decorated with columns. On top of the gate were eight black urns. The south facade had two niches containing statues of Mars and of Minerva. These statues disappeared during the Japanese occupation in World War II. | wiki:183 |

2010–11 Manchester City F.C. season | Introduction | The 2010–11 season was Manchester City Football Club's 109th season of football, its ninth consecutive season in the Premier League, and its 14th season in the Premier League since it was first created with Manchester City as one of its original 22 founding member clubs. The team finished fifth in the previous season, thereby qualifying for an opportunity to compete in this season's Europa League. The club was managed by Roberto Mancini who had been appointed as manager midway through the previous season. | wiki:188 |
2010–11 Manchester City F.C. season | Season review | In the summer transfer window, the club, one of the richest in the world since its 2008 takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Group, spent £126 million on players, including Jérôme Boateng from Hamburger SV, Yaya Touré from Barcelona, David Silva from Valencia, Aleksandar Kolarov from Lazio, Mario Balotelli from Inter Milan and James Milner from Aston Villa. Popular City midfielder Stephen Ireland was transferred to Aston Villa as part of a player exchange agreement in the Milner deal. The team began this season's campaign well, collecting four out of a possible six points against "Top 7" opponents Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, which was three points more than City managed in the comparable fixtures last season. | wiki:189 |
2010–11 Manchester City F.C. season | Season review | City then stuttered for a couple of games against Sunderland (away) and Blackburn Rovers (at home), bagging only a single home point out of the six despite completely dominating both games, with (according to manager Roberto Mancini) at least 25 missed chances in the Blackburn game alone. City got itself back on a winning track again with a 0–2 away win against Wigan Athletic, which was the first time the team had ever won at the DW Stadium, breaking what some supporters had labelled a jinx for this fixture. After the previous season's run to the semi-final of the League Cup, the team's performance in that competition this season was very disappointing, with the "Blues" falling at the first hurdle, losing 2–1 to West Bromwich Albion in the third round tie played at The Hawthorns. | wiki:190 |

2010–11 Manchester City F.C. season | Kit information | Umbro made a new set of kits for Manchester City whilst they were in their second year of contract with the club. On 2 February 2011, there was a minor "kit "faux pas"" when the Manchester City team wore its regular home team kit for its away fixture against Birmingham City at St Andrew's, a fixture that usually required the visiting Manchester City team to use one of its alternative strips (in this case, its third team kit since the midnight blue away kit also represented a colour clash) as the primary home team colours of both sides combined a blue shirt with white shorts. | wiki:192 |
2010–11 Manchester City F.C. season | Kit information | No explanation had ever come as to why this mix-up occurred (because as per which kits were to be worn in which fixtures was determined before the season even began), or why the referee, Kevin Friend, allowed two teams so similarly clad onto the pitch rather than insist that one of them first change its kit, although Birmingham's 2010–11 home shirt features large elements of white. Since then, there have been several instances of City wearing sky blue against teams in royal blue. | wiki:193 |
