Francis Arnold Hoffmann (June 5, 1822 – January 23, 1903) was a Lutheran clergyman, politician, banker and writer.
He was born in Westphalia, Prussia, the son of Fredrick and Wilhelmina (Groppe) Hoffmann. In 1840 he emigrated to the United States to avoid conscription, and settled in Illinois.
Hoffmann was a teacher and a pastor in Dunklee's Grove (now Addison, Illinois) until 1847. During this time he became active in public affairs and served as postmaster, town clerk and member of the school board. He also began writing and contributed articles to the Chicago Democrat and Prairie Farmer. In 1844 he married Cynthia Gilbert.
He served as pastor and teacher at St. Peter Lutheran Church and School in Schaumburg from 1847 to 1851. In 1851 Hoffmann moved to Chicago, studied law and became an attorney. In 1852 he was elected to the city council. Hoffmann worked to attract German immigrants to Chicago and was able to establish a successful banking business using the money entrusted to him by the German community.
Hoffmann was a vigorous opponent of the extension of slavery, an issue brought into prominence by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. He left the Democratic Party and played a role in the election of Lyman Trumbull to the United States Senate. He helped to found the Republican Party in Illinois and was a political supporter and ally of Abraham Lincoln. He was elected the 15th Lieutenant Governor of Illinois and served from 1861 to 1865.
After the Civil War, Hoffmann worked for the Illinois Central Railroad as a land commissioner and established the International Bank (his first bank had failed during the war). After the Great Chicago Fire in 1871 he chaired a committee of city bankers whose efforts successfully avoided a banking panic.
In 1875, he retired to his estate in Jefferson, Wisconsin and devoted himself to farming and horticulture. As an agricultural writer and editor, he wrote using the pen name "Hans Buschbauer".

The Last Dragon Chronicles is a series of seven children's fantasy novels written by Chris d'Lacey. The books follow a college student, David Rain, as he discovers the existence of living clay dragons in the house he lodges at. This series currently includes the novels:
The Fire Within (2001)
Icefire (2003)
Fire Star (2005)
The Fire Eternal (2007)
Dark Fire (2009)
Rain and Fire (2010) - a guide book (written by d'Lacey's wife, Jay) containing an accumulation of knowledge concerning the series, also containing a preface detailing David's trip from Blackburn to Scrubbley before the novel. The book also contains a sneak-peek for Fire World.
Fire World (2011)
The Fire Ascending (2013)
Plot
In The Fire Within, David Rain is a tenant of Elizabeth (Liz) Pennykettle (a potter who makes clay dragons) and her daughter, Lucy. However, there is something mysterious about Liz, the house, and the dragons. As for what it is, David can't figure out. Meanwhile, David is trying to help Lucy find a missing squirrel named Conker. Conker, unlike the other squirrels, does not leave after the tree he lived in was cut down, his eye is badly injured and the doctors try to rescue him, but unfortunately he dies. While he tries to unravel the dragon mysteries and save the squirrel, David writes a story for Lucy about Snigger (another squirrel), Conker and Lucy's other squirrel friends. However, the story begins to mirror real life. Whatever is going on, it has something to do with his special writing dragon Gadzooks, whom Liz made as a housewarming gift. But when Conker's life is threatened and Gadzooks appears to be in trouble, David is forced to believe the impossible if he is going to save them. Meanwhile, he finds himself drawn to an attractive wildlife rescuer.
In Icefire, Lucy creates a new dragon named G'reth. He is a wishing dragon that can grant wishes that would benefit dragon kind. David becomes the owner of this dragon because he was the one who named him (with Gadzook's help). But fate seems to be dictating an unusual course for David when his college tutor, Dr. Bergstrom, sets him an essay on the existence – or not – of dragons. The tantalising prize is a fully funded research trip to the Arctic, which seems just within his grasp. David starts to research the subject and soon discovers a connection between dragons and the Arctic. Then, evidence begins to mount that somewhere in the neighbourhood is a polar bear. Beginning to wonder whether it is only a coincidence or could deeper forces be at work, David begins to uncover more about the dragons. He finds himself drawn to a time when dragons really did exist, and their secrets were guarded by the polar bears of the Arctic. David must open his mind to the legend of dragons if he is going to have any chance of winning the research trip. Meanwhile, the evil sibyl, Gwilanna, appears with an evil plot, and the secret of the dragons is revealed. If she is to be defeated, David must discover the link between an ancient legend about the fire tear of the last dragon, Gawain, and the frozen north. The keys to solving the puzzle are his new girlfriend, Zanna, and Dr. Bergstrom, who proves to have more mysteries than meets the eye.
In Fire Star, Gwilanna, the evil sibyl that first starred in Icefire, returns. She plans to reincarnate the last dragon, Gawain, and use him to open a portal to the dragon dimension Ki:mera. If she succeeds, the concentrated fire of all those dragons will be released onto an unstable Arctic, already threatened by global warming and in no need of any more heat to push it over the brink. The wishing dragon G'reth is whisked to another dimension by mysterious forces and brought back with an entity that calls itself the Fain. Meanwhile, David and Zanna are on the trip they won to the Arctic, and David is writing another book, an epic book about dragons, polar bears, and a mysterious fire star. But when the book, like the one he wrote before, starts to mirror real life, and when Zanna is kidnapped and presumably killed by polar bears, the expedition is cut short. Back at home, he arrives to find Lucy has been kidnapped by Gwilanna for a ritual to raise the last dragon Gawain. Zanna is proved to be alive and learning the ways of the Inuit in a small village. Then, Gwillana's plans are revealed by a twist of fate that reunites Liz with her former husband Arthur, who is using a powerful relic of Gawain to affect the flow of time. In the dramatic climax, David, Zanna, Arthur, the Pennykettles and the clay dragons have to side with a polar bear army to stop Gwilanna, as well as a darker evil from the past of Ki:mera and Earth. There is however, a final twist, David is stabbed by one of the Ix controlled humans on the expedition with a shard of ice and supposedly 'dies.'
In The Fire Eternal it has been five years since David, now a cult author, mysteriously disappeared in the Arctic. Life in Wayward Crescent has settled to relative normality. But as the weather grows wild and the ice caps melt, all eyes turn north, where bears and the souls of the Inuit dead are combining to produce a spectacular solution...a solution with its focus on David and Zanna's child, Alexa. By this time, Lucy has grown to about the age of 16, and meets a reporter named Tam Farrell who is doing an article on the author David who supposedly went missing in the arctic. At the end, David reveals that he, in fact, was not dead, but combined with the dragon, Gawain, and his fire tear.
In Dark Fire David is ordered by the elder dragons of Ki:mera to seek out and destroy a spark of dark fire, even though doing so will mean sacrificing the beloved housework dragon, Gwillan. Also, David's first girlfriend, Sophie, died in Africa while David was there trying to stop a mutation called a darkling from destroying the entire facility. He uses Gwillan's and Grace's fire tears to attempt to revive the fallen clay dragons back to their original selves. As David struggles to reach a compromise, dragons all over the world begin to wake, and the Earth enters a new Dragon Age. But just as this is to happen, the dangerous Ix:cluster reverse the Fire Eternal during an epic battle between the dragon queen and our heroes, and the villainous Ix:cluster, and in a single moment, Gadzooks ends with writing the word 'sometimes' in dragontongue, the language of the dragons.
In Fire World, a 12-year-old boy named David lives in Co:pern:ica. He and his friend Rosanna spend their days in the librarium, a museum for books, with the curator, Mr. Henry, and the mysterious firebirds that roam the upper levels. When the two friends accidentally injure one of the firebirds, they find themselves on a remarkable and dangerous adventure. The evil Ix have found a way into Co:pern:ica from their home planet and have taken over a firebird, turning it to the side of darkness. The firebirds have a secret, though: they know about dragons. With the help of David and Rosanna, the firebirds must reach across the universe to call on the dragons for protection. But will the dragons arrive before the Ix destroy everything?
WARNING: Alternate timelines may occur. Read at your own risk.
The entire series is resolved with a seventh novel named The Fire Ascending. The novel reveals that the entire universe is made up of the word and symbol Oomara, meaning sometimes. This last book shows Alexa's part in the series. It also shows how Alexa came to be. This entire series is ended with the final battle: the polar bears and the dragons vs. the Ix and the darklings.
Main characters
David Rain – main character. A college student who lives with the Pennykettles. He is an author whose stories magically manage to come true and he gets his inspiration from his writing dragon, Gadzooks (see: Pennykettle dragons). In Fire Star, he made Gollygosh, a natural healing dragon. Another one of his dragons is G'reth, a wishing dragon made by Lucy Pennykettle. David turns out to be a "Fain", although at the start, he doesn't know that himself. He has the ability to transform into a polar bear, and has "illuminated" with the adolescent dragon, Grockle, Liz's completely-dragon child, whom his girlfriend Zanna quickened earlier on in the series. He has a daughter by Zanna named Alexa. In addition, David becomes a dragon when he extends his Fain into Grockle.
Elizabeth "Liz" Pennykettle – A woman probably in her thirties who makes dragons out of clay and sells them at pottery fairs. She made all of the Pennykettle dragons except Golly and G'reth. According to Gwilanna, she happens to have more auma than most other daughters of Guinevere, which is actually because she has icefire. She is the mother of Lucy Pennykettle, wife of the blinded ex-monk Arthur, and landlady of David Rain. According to David, the Fain (the alien species) meant for Liz and Arthur to be his biological parents, but when Gwilanna interrupted this plan, David materialised at age 20 at the "necessary" time. Liz is pregnant with a boy at the end of "Dark Fire" by her husband, Arthur. Gwilanna originally says that the child will not have "dragon" in him, but after the boy manages to refrain from being affected by the dark fire Liz absorbed, her interest regarding the boy piques.
Lucy Pennykettle – Liz's eleven-year-old daughter. She is the youngest of Guinevere's (see: other characters) known line and the next "dragon princess". At the beginning of Icefire, she made an extremely effective wishing dragon called G'reth, which is surprising for a girl of her age, as proper wishing dragons are extremely hard to make. When David returns, she is sixteen. In "The Fire Eternal" she communicates several times with a journalist by the name of Tam, who she admits to being in love with in her journal in "Dark Fire." She is the one to awaken the Dragon Queen Gawaine, the mother of Gawain. She likes Tam and her idol is David because he wrote Snigger and the Nutbeast for her twelfth birthday.
Gwilanna/Aunty Gwyneth – Lucy's "aunt". She is a very powerful sibyl who was once served by Gretel, the potions dragon. She kidnaps Lucy to help her raise Gawain, the dragon, from his state of paralysis so that she could be "illuminated" with it (become one with it) like she believed her mother, one of the pre:men, should have been able to do before the Fain executed her. She is frozen in a block of ice in the shape of a crow with her powers are stripped from her, though they are restored later on. She has been the midwife of all of Guinevere's line, as only a sibyl can do so. Liz Pennykettle has a great amount of respect for her, despite the fact that on numerous occasions the "aunt" has almost killed her, kidnapped her daughter, trapped her tenant under some floorboards, as well as a myriad of other feats of similar creed. This may be because Gwilanna birthed her daughter, and has also saved Liz's life on numerous accounts.
Sophie Prentice – David's first girlfriend who dies in Dark Fire. First appears in The Fire Within as a veterinarian working at The Wildlife Hospital. Also tried to help them when Conker, one of Lucy's squirrels, was injured.
Suzanna "Zanna" Martindale – A character that first appears in Icefire and becomes David's girlfriend. She is a college student like David, as well as, in the beginning, a Goth. When Gretel stops serving Gwilanna, Gretel becomes Zanna's dragon. Zanna is a sibyl like Gwilanna but she is not as powerful. She is at times very zany and amusing. She is also the mother of David's child, Alexa. She bears the mark of Oomara on her forearm, which grants her many abilities, one of which being the ability to transform into a raven. She lived with the Pennykettles for five years, but then was given a house by the deceased Henry Bacon (who conveniently resided next door), and both she and her daughter relocated there.
Alexa Martindale – David and Zanna's daughter. It is later revealed that she is to become an "angel". She can also draw the future. Because her father is a Fain and her mother a sibyl, she has quite a lot of power and is extremely intelligent. It is of Arthur's belief that before her birth into the human world, she acted as a muse to describe to Arthur who she wanted her father to be. When Arthur wrote about the man who was originally destined to be his son, the past "changed," creating David so that Alexa could be born.
Dr. Bergstrom – A geography teacher at Scrubbley College. He is Scandinavian, can turn into a polar bear, and has a dragon called Groyne who can become invisible and shape-shift. He started out as a polar research scientist and met the spirit of Thoran, the first polar bear ever. People believed he was killed, but he actually became a mixture of man and polar bear.
Henry Bacon – The Pennykettles' neighbour that dies in Dark Fire from a stroke. In Icefire, he shows David the picture of his grandfather on an expedition to the Arctic. It shows his grandfather with several other people, one of whom David identifies as Dr. Bergstrom. Before his death, he often helped the Pennykettles and David. His sister is a sibyl.
Tam Farrell – A journalist who has the spirits of two bears, Avrel and Kailar, in his hands. He first appears in The Fire Eternal when he tries to get information about David. He later becomes a friend and rescues Lucy from the Ix.

James Boisclair was an African American merchant and gold miner who achieved notable fame and success during the Georgia Gold Rush. Boisclair was known as "Free Jim" and was highly regarded at the time for his entrepreneurial work and part-time efforts as a preacher.
Early life
James was born on the plantation of Daniel Grant in Wilkes County, Georgia around 1795. James was born into slavery, but Grant specified in his will that his slaves should be freed after reaching a certain age (31 for men, 28 for women). In 1814, James was sold to Michael Boisclair of Augusta, Georgia, where he remained until he was freed in 1826.
Dahlonega and the gold rush
Boisclair arrived in Dahlonega, Georgia in 1833 during the Georgia Gold Rush, and opened a small shop, and started searching for gold. While panning for gold, Boisclair found an impressive vein of ore. As a black man in the Antebellum South, he was not able to legally buy the plot of land for a gold mine. Instead, he was able to get Joseph Singleton, the head of the Dahlonega Mint, to take legal ownership of the lot while Boisclair maintained de facto control. Boisclair began Gold panning at his mine, and used the gold dust he collected to build the largest general store in Dahlonega, Georgia. The mine came to be known as the Free Jim Mine. Other Boisclair achievements of the time included his building of an ice house and popular saloon, despite the fact that all of his establishments faced problems because the laws of the time prevented black men from buying real estate or holding a liquor license.
Move to California and death
James Boisclair traveled to California in a search for fortune in the new gold rush, and in 1850 Boisclair took his entrepreneurial efforts to a new level by hiring fifty men to come help him mine for gold.On November 20, 1861, Boisclair died from natural causes, according to a filing in the Probate Court in Sacramento that quotes C. B. Hawkins, Boisclair's care-giver. The legend still lives, however, that Boisclair died after being shot during an argument over a disputed gold claim. His legacy lives on Dahlonega, and the old mine he worked in for 10 years is known as "Free Jim" in his honor.In 1860, free blacks made up less than 1% of Georgia's black population, and the majority of them were poor. James Boisclair was a rare example of a black man in the Antebellum-era Georgia who was able to prosper economically in spite of harsh legal repression he had to work around.

James Boisclair was a rare example of a black man in the Antebellum-era Georgia who was able to prosper economically in spite of harsh legal repression he had to work around.

Balochistan Rural Support Programme (BRSP) was a project funded by the German technical cooperation agency Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in the early 1980s which was converted into the Balochistan Rural Support Programme in 1991. It is a Non Government Organization (NGO), part of the Rural Support Programmes Network, working in rural areas of Balochistan, Pakistan.In the mid-1990s, BRSP worked in 13 Districts of Balochistan with 250 staff members; however, it had to scale down its operations substantially in the subsequent years as GIZ withdrew its support. BRSP resumed its operations in 2001 with financial support from Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF).
Origin
In 1983, a project with the collaboration of Germany was initiated, being a joint venture of Government of Germany and Government of Pakistan. It was named the Pak-German Self-Help Project. Initially the project was implemented by the Local Government Department of Balochistan with the financial assistance of GIZ. The initiative primarily aimed at developing the socioeconomic conditions of the poor living in rural areas of Balochistan. Later in 1991, it was transformed into a company limited and a non profit organization named as Balochistan Rural Support Programme under the new organizational and administrative setup.
Vision
The vision of the programme is a prosperous Balochistan where people, especially the poor and women, are provided with equal livelihood opportunities and are not socially and economically excluded.
Mission
The mission is to harness potential of the rural poor to help themselves, assume control of local development and improve their standard of living.
Structure and accountability
Balochistan Rural Support Programme is governed by a 15 members board of directors, headed by a Chairman. The board is responsible for drawing general policy. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the executive authority in the organisation who is further assisted by Senior Managers, Section Managers, Deputy Managers, Assistant Managers and so on.
Major programmes
Social mobilization
Community physical Infrastructure
Technology development
Provision of basic health facilities
Provision of basic education facilities
Community mobilization
Capacity building of community institutions
Development and rehabilitation of water supply schemes and construction and provision of sanitation services
Youth development centers
Livelihood enhancement program
Program philosophy
Balochistan Rural Support Programmes primary role in poverty alleviation and community development is to encourage self-help and, in the long term, guide the Community Organizations (CO's) in becoming mature and self-reliant institutions. The Rural Support Programmes that this is the route to community empowerment, which must arise organically from CO's themselves. BRSP’s programme is holistic and multi sectoral aiming to ensure sustainable outcomes. BRSP holds that unless the concept of gender is understood and mainstreamed into every aspect of the organization and the programme, the kind of development, poverty alleviation and community empowerment that it wishes to attain will not be possible. This must be done in culturally appropriate ways.
Sources of funds
Balochistan Rural Support Programmes has received funding from various national and international donor agencies. Amongst others the BRSP has received funding from the UNHCR, WFP, UNICEF, GIZ, PPAF, EU, KfW, EC, RSPN, MC, UNFPA, FAO, and UNDP.
Emergency response
BRSP initiated and implemented emergency response to the 2007 floods of Balochistan, 2008 earthquake of Ziarat, 2010 Pakistan floods and the 2013 Mashkhel earthquake in all these disasters Balochistan was badly affected.
Honors and recognition
Balochistan Rural Support Programme received its first Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) certification in 2005 and has been receiving the certification consecutively. The last certification was received in September, 2012. PCP certification is given to an organization on the basis of its performance in achieving its objectives and goals, financial management, parameters of internal government and programme delivery.
On March 5, 2013, Federal Minister for Education and Training, Government of Pakistan, Sheikh Waqas Akram, conferred on BRSP the Afro-Asian Rural Development Organization (AARDO), award for outstanding contribution for development.
Timeline
1991–2000: During the span of eight years BRSP supported target communities to form, formalize, and strengthen 473 villages of Balochistan province which included; 317 Village Organization (VO's) and 156 Women Organizations (WO's). However the organization had to scaled down its operations in the subsequent years as GTZ withdrew its support.
2001–2006: From 2001, BRSP expanded its operations into 13 districts of the province focusing on social mobilization, micro credit, community physical infrastructure, natural resource management, and social sector services.
2007–2010: In this period BRSP experienced further programmatic expansion in four more districts with support of international and national donor agencies. A major livestock program was initiated during this phase with the support of Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock (MINFAL), Pakistan.

Let Go My Hand is the fourth novel by British author Edward Docx.
Plot introduction
Louis Lasker his father Larry is in his seventies and suffering from MND. Together they accompany in their VW camper from Dover to Dignitas in Switzerland. Louis older twin brothers Ralph and Jack join his father as they visit champagne-producing châteaux, ancient caves and go to concerts of classical music, but as they journey to Zurich to consider euthanasia...
Reception
"This is surely one of the first novels to face squarely the issue of assisted dying, and it is equally unflinching in its examination of family dynamics. After a few days in his brothers’ company, Louis wonders: “Is it normal to love the idea of people more than their actuality?” It's a guilty thought that's probably not uncommon, but it takes a writer of Docx's eloquence to articulate it. His lucid prose makes the characters’ complex thoughts engaging, and there are times when the Laskers’ voices are so distinctive that you can almost hear them talking."

Sze-Piao Yang (楊思標; 4 June 1920 – 26 May 2021), also spelled as Sibiao Yang, was a Taiwanese physician and pulmonologist who focused on treating tuberculosis and related lung diseases. He acted as the dean of the affiliated hospital of the National Taiwan University Hospital from 1978 to 1984. He then served concurrently as the dean of National Taiwan University School of Medicine from 1983 to 1985, and also as president of the Tzu Chi University of Science and Technology. He is referred to as the "Father of Thoracic X-ray Interpretation in Taiwan" due to his work in establishing the field of research involving X-rays in Taiwan.
Childhood and education
Born in Hsinchu on 4 June 1920, Yang went on to attend and graduate from the National Taiwan University as a part of the medicine department with his Bachelor's of Science. Because of the rampant outbreaks of tuberculosis in his youth and contracting the disease during his schooling years, Yang's medical education and research ended up focusing on that and other lung-based diseases. He decided after recovering from his illness that he was only able to survive because of his access to medical care and the "financially underprivileged" wouldn't have the same level of healthcare accessibility, so he wanted to devote himself to such treatments He then continued his education at the Niigata Medical University, obtaining his Ph.D.
Career
After completing his degree at the National Taiwan University, Yang went on to become an unpaid deputy in the university's hospital at the Department of Internal Medicine. During the day, he assisted doctors with their procedures and worked on lab research during the night. However, because Taiwan was under Japanese rule at the time, it was difficult for Taiwanese medical workers to advance to full positions. It wasn't until he turned 25 and Taiwan gained independence after WWII that he was given the opportunity to become a professor at the university. After a number of promotions, he was also given a grant by the Ministry of Education to study medical techniques in the United States.The earliest research Yang was involved in during the 1940s and 1950s was thoracic medicine and he was the first to conduct such research in Taiwan after his return to the country. His first major case occurred in 1951 while treating tuberculosis patients. A ship's captain had purportedly contracted the disease, but Yang's analysis of the sputum found that the man was instead infected with lung leeches, which can frequently be misdiagnosed as a variety of lung-based diseases. The cause of such infections usually results from eating raw shellfish and it led to Yang further investigating and writing a paper on how lung leech infections occur. His research was published both in the journal of the International Society of Thoracic Diseases in 1954 and then the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine in 1955. These were the first papers from Taiwan published in major international journals and resulted in his work being included in medical textbooks in Taiwan. Another incident in 1952 involving a trio of sick mine workers resulted in Yang being sent to Jinguashi to investigate and he was able to do a work environment study to determine that pneumoconiosis was the cause of the outbreak. This resulted in the first occupational disease research that was conducted in Taiwan.Yang would go on to establish a Joint Thoracic Disease Symposium in the mid 1950's involving multiple hospitals and would treat the first person in Taiwan for lung cancer in 1957. Another medical conference was established by Yang in 1971 named The Second Asia Pacific Conference on Thoracic Diseases for an international attendance. After this, he would continue his medical work and eventually become dean of the school of medicine at the National Taiwan University and of the on-campus hospital in 1979. That same year, he joined the Sino-Saudi Medical Corps in order to expand Taiwan's medical outreach to other countries. Starting in 1984, he became the director of the Tzu Chi general hospital and was involved in the opening of the hospital in 1986. He also was the first principal of the Tzu Chi Nursing College (later renamed to the University of Science and Technology) and helped in its creation.An area of research Yang became highly trained in was X-ray interpretations and even after his retirement from the hospital in 1985, he spent the next three decades until 2018 traveling once a week to the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital to teach students how to read and interpret patient X-rays.
Awards, honours, and legacy
The 2018 Medical Contribution Award was given to Yang for his contributions to medical knowledge throughout his lifetime. A TV series also aired in 2019 titled "Hundred Years Old Doctor" that was based around events in his life.
Personal life
During his early 20's working as a medical assistant in the National Taiwan University Hospital, Yang met the head nurse at the time, Chen Baoyu. Later, at the height of World War II, the Japanese commercial ship Takachihomaru was sunk by American battleships at the Port of Keelung. His brother, sister-in-law, and their yet-to-be-born child died in the incident, and the grief this caused the family resulted in them ordering Yang to get married. This never occurred with Chen, however, due to him leaving for his research grant in the United States and this part of his life was dramatized in the theater play titled Medical World Love. In the subsequent years, he was married to a different partner, but she died in the 1960s, and he later rekindled a relationship with Chen before marrying her in 1984.Yang published a book about his life in early 2018 titled A Hundred Years Old Physician Dedicates with Love with the dedication that he would not retire until he reached 100 years old. In March 2018, Yang donated $60 million out of his life savings to the Tzu Chi general hospital. He died on 26 May 2021, aged 100.

After a number of promotions, he was also given a grant by the Ministry of Education to study medical techniques in the United States.The earliest research Yang was involved in during the 1940s and 1950s was thoracic medicine and he was the first to conduct such research in Taiwan after his return to the country. His first major case occurred in 1951 while treating tuberculosis patients. A ship's captain had purportedly contracted the disease, but Yang's analysis of the sputum found that the man was instead infected with lung leeches, which can frequently be misdiagnosed as a variety of lung-based diseases. The cause of such infections usually results from eating raw shellfish and it led to Yang further investigating and writing a paper on how lung leech infections occur. His research was published both in the journal of the International Society of Thoracic Diseases in 1954 and then the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine in 1955. These were the first papers from Taiwan published in major international journals and resulted in his work being included in medical textbooks in Taiwan. Another incident in 1952 involving a trio of sick mine workers resulted in Yang being sent to Jinguashi to investigate and he was able to do a work environment study to determine that pneumoconiosis was the cause of the outbreak. This resulted in the first occupational disease research that was conducted in Taiwan.Yang would go on to establish a Joint Thoracic Disease Symposium in the mid 1950's involving multiple hospitals and would treat the first person in Taiwan for lung cancer in 1957. Another medical conference was established by Yang in 1971 named The Second Asia Pacific Conference on Thoracic Diseases for an international attendance. After this, he would continue his medical work and eventually become dean of the school of medicine at the National Taiwan University and of the on-campus hospital in 1979. That same year, he joined the Sino-Saudi Medical Corps in order to expand Taiwan's medical outreach to other countries. Starting in 1984, he became the director of the Tzu Chi general hospital and was involved in the opening of the hospital in 1986. He also was the first principal of the Tzu Chi Nursing College (later renamed to the University of Science and Technology) and helped in its creation.An area of research Yang became highly trained in was X-ray interpretations and even after his retirement from the hospital in 1985, he spent the next three decades until 2018 traveling once a week to the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital to teach students how to read and interpret patient X-rays.
Awards, honours, and legacy
The 2018 Medical Contribution Award was given to Yang for his contributions to medical knowledge throughout his lifetime. A TV series also aired in 2019 titled "Hundred Years Old Doctor" that was based around events in his life.
Personal life
During his early 20's working as a medical assistant in the National Taiwan University Hospital, Yang met the head nurse at the time, Chen Baoyu. Later, at the height of World War II, the Japanese commercial ship Takachihomaru was sunk by American battleships at the Port of Keelung. His brother, sister-in-law, and their yet-to-be-born child died in the incident, and the grief this caused the family resulted in them ordering Yang to get married. This never occurred with Chen, however, due to him leaving for his research grant in the United States and this part of his life was dramatized in the theater play titled Medical World Love. In the subsequent years, he was married to a different partner, but she died in the 1960s, and he later rekindled a relationship with Chen before marrying her in 1984.Yang published a book about his life in early 2018 titled A Hundred Years Old Physician Dedicates with Love with the dedication that he would not retire until he reached 100 years old. In March 2018, Yang donated $60 million out of his life savings to the Tzu Chi general hospital. He died on 26 May 2021, aged 100.

Sze-Piao Yang (楊思標; 4 June 1920 – 26 May 2021), also spelled as Sibiao Yang, was a Taiwanese physician and pulmonologist who focused on treating tuberculosis and related lung diseases. He acted as the dean of the affiliated hospital of the National Taiwan University Hospital from 1978 to 1984. He then served concurrently as the dean of National Taiwan University School of Medicine from 1983 to 1985, and also as president of the Tzu Chi University of Science and Technology. He is referred to as the "Father of Thoracic X-ray Interpretation in Taiwan" due to his work in establishing the field of research involving X-rays in Taiwan.
Childhood and education
Born in Hsinchu on 4 June 1920, Yang went on to attend and graduate from the National Taiwan University as a part of the medicine department with his Bachelor's of Science. Because of the rampant outbreaks of tuberculosis in his youth and contracting the disease during his schooling years, Yang's medical education and research ended up focusing on that and other lung-based diseases. He decided after recovering from his illness that he was only able to survive because of his access to medical care and the "financially underprivileged" wouldn't have the same level of healthcare accessibility, so he wanted to devote himself to such treatments He then continued his education at the Niigata Medical University, obtaining his Ph.D.
Career
After completing his degree at the National Taiwan University, Yang went on to become an unpaid deputy in the university's hospital at the Department of Internal Medicine. During the day, he assisted doctors with their procedures and worked on lab research during the night. However, because Taiwan was under Japanese rule at the time, it was difficult for Taiwanese medical workers to advance to full positions.

Mezensky District (Russian: Мезе́нский райо́н) is an administrative district (raion), one of the twenty-one in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia. As a municipal division, it is incorporated as Mezensky Municipal District. It is located in the northeast of the oblast and borders with Nenets Autonomous Okrug in the northeast, Ust-Tsilemsky District of the Komi Republic in the east, Leshukonsky and Pinezhsky Districts in the south, and with Primorsky District in the southwest. From the north, the district borders the White Sea. The area of the district is 34,400 square kilometers (13,300 sq mi). Its administrative center is the town of Mezen. Population: 10,330 (2010 Census); 13,124 (2002 Census); 17,796 (1989 Census). The population of Mezen accounts for 34.6% of the total district's population.
History
The area was originally populated by speakers of Uralic languages and then colonized by the Novgorod Republic. After the fall of Novgorod, the area became a part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Komi started moving to the Mezen in the 14th and 15th centuries. First Russian settlements on the Mezen were mentioned in the 16th century. The lower course of the Mezen, the current area of the district, was where Russian culture existed in its original state, not mixing with the Komi culture. The town of Mezen was founded in the 16th century as Okladnikova Sloboda. The area was at the time located on one of the main ways from central Russia to the Pechora River basin and to the Ural Mountains.In the course of the administrative reform carried out in 1708 by Peter the Great, the area was included into Archangelgorod Governorate. In 1780, the governorate was abolished and transformed into Vologda Viceroyalty, and Mezen got the town rights. In 1796, the area was transferred to Arkhangelsk Governorate. The current territory of the district was included into Mezensky Uyezd. On December 28, 1917, a new Ust-Vashsky Uyezd with the administrative center in Ust-Vashka (currently Leshukonskoye) was established; however, in 1925 it was merged back into Mezensky Uyezd. In 1929, several governorates were merged into Northern Krai. On July 15, 1929, the uyezds were abolished and Mezensky District was established. It became a part of Arkhangelsk Okrug of Northern Krai.
In the following years, the first-level administrative division of Russia kept changing. In 1930, the okrug was abolished, and the district was subordinated to the central administration of Northern Krai. In 1936, the krai itself was transformed into Northern Oblast. In 1937, Northern Oblast was split into Arkhangelsk Oblast and Vologda Oblast. Mezensky District remained in Arkhangelsk Oblast ever since.
Geography
The district is elongated from west to east. A major part of the district belongs to the basins of the Mezen River (with the main tributaries the Pyoza and the Kimzha) and the Kuloy River (with the Nemnyuga and the Soyana), which both end up in the Mezen Bay of the White Sea. Areas on the White Sea coast drain directly into the sea, and some areas in the northeast of the district drain into the Pyosha River and other rivers of the Barents Sea basin.
Almost the whole of the district is covered by coniferous forests (taiga). The northern part of the district is transitional area between taiga and tundra (lesotundra). There are many glacial lakes across the district. The biggest lakes are east of the Mezen, Lake Varsh (shared with Nenets Autonomous Okrug), Lake Pocha, and Lake Vyzhletskoye.
The district also includes Morzhovets Island which separates the Mezen Bay from the entrance of the White Sea. The island is the only part of the district which lies above the Arctic Circle.
The part of the district located east of the Mezen is essentially unpopulated, with the exceptions of the right bank of the river and of several villages in the valley of the Pyoza.
Divisions
As an administrative division, the district is divided into fourteen selsoviets and one town of district significance (Mezen). The following selsoviets have been established (the administrative centers are given in parentheses):
Bychensky (Bychye)
Dolgoshchelsky (Dolgoshchelye)
Dorogorsky (Dorogorskoye)
Kamensky (Kamenka)
Koydensky (Koyda)
Kozmogorodsky (Kozmogorodskoye)
Lampozhensky (Lampozhnya)
Moseyevsky (Moseyevo)
Ruchyovsky (Ruchyi)
Sovpolsky (Chizhgora)
Soyansky (Soyana)
Tselegorsky (Tselegora)
Yolkinsky (Safonovo)
Zherdsky (Zherd)
Municipal divisions
As a municipal division, the district is divided into two urban settlements and twelve rural settlements (the administrative centers are given in parentheses):
Mezenskoye Urban Settlement (Mezen)
Bychenskoye Rural Settlement (Bychye)
Dolgoshchelskoye Rural Settlement (Dolgoshchelye)
Dorogorskoye Rural Settlement (Dorogorskoye)
Kamenskoye Rural Settlement (Kamenka)
Koydenskoye Rural Settlement (Koyda)
Kozmogorodskoye Rural Settlement (Kozmogorodskoye)
Moseyevskoye Rural Settlement (Moseyevo)
Ruchyovskoye Rural Settlement (Ruchyi)
Safonovskoye Rural Settlement (Safonovo)
Sovpolskoye Rural Settlement (Chizhgora)
Soyanskoye Rural Settlement (Soyana)
Tselegorskoye Rural Settlement (Tselegora)
Zherdskoye Rural Settlement (Zherd)
Restricted access
The northern part of the district is included into border security zone, intended to protect the borders of Russia from unwanted activity. In particular, the town of Mezen, the urban-type settlement of Kamenka, and the whole White Sea coast within the district, including such rural localities as Ruchyi, Koyda, and Dolgoshchelye, as well as Morzhovets Island, are included into this restricted area. In order to visit the zone, a permit issued by the local FSB department is required.
Economy
Agriculture
Historically, fishery was the main source of income in the White Sea coast. The selo of Dolgoshchelye in the estuary of the Kuloy River was the main harbor of fishermen. In Soviet times, the fishery in the Arctic Ocean was state-sponsored; after 1990 the funds were cut, and the fishery went into decline.A special breed of horses, Mezen horse, was bred in the Mezen River valley. The Mezen horses are rather small but suitable for difficult work and easily survive cold winters.
Transportation
Both the Mezen and the Kuloy Rivers are navigable within the district limits; however, there is no passenger navigation except for the ferry boats across the rivers. Until 2008, there were no all-seasonal roads in the district. During winter, temporary roads (zimniks) are built in snow; in summer, air transport is the only means for passenger connections to Arkhangelsk and the rest of the world. Currently, there is one all-seasonal road which connects the village of Kimzha with Arkhangelsk via Pinega, and two branches from this road along the right bank of the Mezen. One branch runs north to the town of Mezen, whereas the second one runs south to the selo of Leshukonskoye.
There is an airport in Mezen, with several weekly flights to Arkhangelsk. There is also an airport in Kamenka.The majority of the villages of the district are not connected by all-season roads to the main road network, and the only means of getting to Mezen and Arkhangelsk is by air.
Culture and recreation
The district contains two objects classified as cultural and historical heritage by Russian Federal law, and additionally a number of objects classified as cultural and historical heritage of local importance. The objects under federal protection are the wooden bell tower in the selo of Dolgoshchelye (burned down in 1994 and no longer exists) and the wooden Hodegetria Church in the village of Kimzha (1709, currently disassembled). The objects under local protection are wooden churches, chapels, windmills, peasant and merchant houses.
The only state museum in the district is the Mezen Regional Museum, located in the town of Mezen.

Restricted access
The northern part of the district is included into border security zone, intended to protect the borders of Russia from unwanted activity. In particular, the town of Mezen, the urban-type settlement of Kamenka, and the whole White Sea coast within the district, including such rural localities as Ruchyi, Koyda, and Dolgoshchelye, as well as Morzhovets Island, are included into this restricted area. In order to visit the zone, a permit issued by the local FSB department is required.
Economy
Agriculture
Historically, fishery was the main source of income in the White Sea coast. The selo of Dolgoshchelye in the estuary of the Kuloy River was the main harbor of fishermen. In Soviet times, the fishery in the Arctic Ocean was state-sponsored; after 1990 the funds were cut, and the fishery went into decline.A special breed of horses, Mezen horse, was bred in the Mezen River valley. The Mezen horses are rather small but suitable for difficult work and easily survive cold winters.
Transportation
Both the Mezen and the Kuloy Rivers are navigable within the district limits; however, there is no passenger navigation except for the ferry boats across the rivers. Until 2008, there were no all-seasonal roads in the district. During winter, temporary roads (zimniks) are built in snow; in summer, air transport is the only means for passenger connections to Arkhangelsk and the rest of the world. Currently, there is one all-seasonal road which connects the village of Kimzha with Arkhangelsk via Pinega, and two branches from this road along the right bank of the Mezen. One branch runs north to the town of Mezen, whereas the second one runs south to the selo of Leshukonskoye.
There is an airport in Mezen, with several weekly flights to Arkhangelsk. There is also an airport in Kamenka.The majority of the villages of the district are not connected by all-season roads to the main road network, and the only means of getting to Mezen and Arkhangelsk is by air.
Culture and recreation
The district contains two objects classified as cultural and historical heritage by Russian Federal law, and additionally a number of objects classified as cultural and historical heritage of local importance. The objects under federal protection are the wooden bell tower in the selo of Dolgoshchelye (burned down in 1994 and no longer exists) and the wooden Hodegetria Church in the village of Kimzha (1709, currently disassembled). The objects under local protection are wooden churches, chapels, windmills, peasant and merchant houses.
The only state museum in the district is the Mezen Regional Museum, located in the town of Mezen.

Mezensky District (Russian: Мезе́нский райо́н) is an administrative district (raion), one of the twenty-one in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia. As a municipal division, it is incorporated as Mezensky Municipal District. It is located in the northeast of the oblast and borders with Nenets Autonomous Okrug in the northeast, Ust-Tsilemsky District of the Komi Republic in the east, Leshukonsky and Pinezhsky Districts in the south, and with Primorsky District in the southwest. From the north, the district borders the White Sea. The area of the district is 34,400 square kilometers (13,300 sq mi). Its administrative center is the town of Mezen. Population: 10,330 (2010 Census); 13,124 (2002 Census); 17,796 (1989 Census). The population of Mezen accounts for 34.6% of the total district's population.
History
The area was originally populated by speakers of Uralic languages and then colonized by the Novgorod Republic. After the fall of Novgorod, the area became a part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Komi started moving to the Mezen in the 14th and 15th centuries. First Russian settlements on the Mezen were mentioned in the 16th century. The lower course of the Mezen, the current area of the district, was where Russian culture existed in its original state, not mixing with the Komi culture. The town of Mezen was founded in the 16th century as Okladnikova Sloboda. The area was at the time located on one of the main ways from central Russia to the Pechora River basin and to the Ural Mountains.In the course of the administrative reform carried out in 1708 by Peter the Great, the area was included into Archangelgorod Governorate. In 1780, the governorate was abolished and transformed into Vologda Viceroyalty, and Mezen got the town rights. In 1796, the area was transferred to Arkhangelsk Governorate. The current territory of the district was included into Mezensky Uyezd. On December 28, 1917, a new Ust-Vashsky Uyezd with the administrative center in Ust-Vashka (currently Leshukonskoye) was established; however, in 1925 it was merged back into Mezensky Uyezd. In 1929, several governorates were merged into Northern Krai. On July 15, 1929, the uyezds were abolished and Mezensky District was established. It became a part of Arkhangelsk Okrug of Northern Krai.
In the following years, the first-level administrative division of Russia kept changing. In 1930, the okrug was abolished, and the district was subordinated to the central administration of Northern Krai. In 1936, the krai itself was transformed into Northern Oblast. In 1937, Northern Oblast was split into Arkhangelsk Oblast and Vologda Oblast. Mezensky District remained in Arkhangelsk Oblast ever since.
Geography
The district is elongated from west to east. A major part of the district belongs to the basins of the Mezen River (with the main tributaries the Pyoza and the Kimzha) and the Kuloy River (with the Nemnyuga and the Soyana), which both end up in the Mezen Bay of the White Sea. Areas on the White Sea coast drain directly into the sea, and some areas in the northeast of the district drain into the Pyosha River and other rivers of the Barents Sea basin.
Almost the whole of the district is covered by coniferous forests (taiga). The northern part of the district is transitional area between taiga and tundra (lesotundra). There are many glacial lakes across the district. The biggest lakes are east of the Mezen, Lake Varsh (shared with Nenets Autonomous Okrug), Lake Pocha, and Lake Vyzhletskoye.
The district also includes Morzhovets Island which separates the Mezen Bay from the entrance of the White Sea. The island is the only part of the district which lies above the Arctic Circle.
The part of the district located east of the Mezen is essentially unpopulated, with the exceptions of the right bank of the river and of several villages in the valley of the Pyoza.
Divisions
As an administrative division, the district is divided into fourteen selsoviets and one town of district significance (Mezen). The following selsoviets have been established (the administrative centers are given in parentheses):

Restricted access
The northern part of the district is included into border security zone, intended to protect the borders of Russia from unwanted activity. In particular, the town of Mezen, the urban-type settlement of Kamenka, and the whole White Sea coast within the district, including such rural localities as Ruchyi, Koyda, and Dolgoshchelye, as well as Morzhovets Island, are included into this restricted area. In order to visit the zone, a permit issued by the local FSB department is required.
Economy
Agriculture
Historically, fishery was the main source of income in the White Sea coast. The selo of Dolgoshchelye in the estuary of the Kuloy River was the main harbor of fishermen. In Soviet times, the fishery in the Arctic Ocean was state-sponsored; after 1990 the funds were cut, and the fishery went into decline.A special breed of horses, Mezen horse, was bred in the Mezen River valley. The Mezen horses are rather small but suitable for difficult work and easily survive cold winters.
Transportation
Both the Mezen and the Kuloy Rivers are navigable within the district limits; however, there is no passenger navigation except for the ferry boats across the rivers. Until 2008, there were no all-seasonal roads in the district. During winter, temporary roads (zimniks) are built in snow; in summer, air transport is the only means for passenger connections to Arkhangelsk and the rest of the world. Currently, there is one all-seasonal road which connects the village of Kimzha with Arkhangelsk via Pinega, and two branches from this road along the right bank of the Mezen. One branch runs north to the town of Mezen, whereas the second one runs south to the selo of Leshukonskoye.
There is an airport in Mezen, with several weekly flights to Arkhangelsk. There is also an airport in Kamenka.The majority of the villages of the district are not connected by all-season roads to the main road network, and the only means of getting to Mezen and Arkhangelsk is by air.
Culture and recreation
The district contains two objects classified as cultural and historical heritage by Russian Federal law, and additionally a number of objects classified as cultural and historical heritage of local importance. The objects under federal protection are the wooden bell tower in the selo of Dolgoshchelye (burned down in 1994 and no longer exists) and the wooden Hodegetria Church in the village of Kimzha (1709, currently disassembled). The objects under local protection are wooden churches, chapels, windmills, peasant and merchant houses.
The only state museum in the district is the Mezen Regional Museum, located in the town of Mezen.

In 1992, it was purchased from the Mexican Government by a group of investors headed by the Mexican businessman Roberto González Barrera. Over the next decade, Banorte transformed itself from a regional bank, based mainly in the northern Mexico, to one with nationwide coverage. In late 2001, Banorte acquired Bancrecer in US$125 million. Bancrecer had been taken over in 1999 by IPAB. Bancrecer had itself taken over another bank, Banco del Noroeste (Banoro), in 1997.

Return on average Equity (ROE): 15.3%
Money laundering involvement in US Operation Casablanca
Operation Casablanca was a three-year U.S. investigation of major Mexican banking institutions for laundering illicit drug profits. Mexican authorities were not informed about the investigation.
This operations led U.S. Customs agents to arrest 22 high-ranking and mid-level bankers from 12 of Mexico's largest banks when they traveled to the U.S. in mid-May, expecting to attend a banking conference. The investigation produced 160 indictments, including 3 Mexican banks and 26 Mexican bankers. Banorte was among the banks and bankers implicated in money laundry, according to the Operation Casablanca. From the June to July 1998 issue of Money Laundering Alert, Banorte was suspected to have laundered $7,323,103.51, and Banorte faced a civil penalty lawsuit under Title 18, USC Sec. 1956(b) and civil forfeiture action under Title 18, USC Secs. 981 & 984. On July 1, 1999, a U.S. federal judge in Los Angeles dismissed with "extreme prejudice" the forfeiture case against Banorte. No criminal charges were filed and U.S. authorities gave them back $1.4 million seized in the operation. Banorte had implemented anti-money laundering policies and procedures and had detected and closed money laundering accounts prior to Operation Casablanca. These policies and practices assisted Banorte in defending itself against the money laundering charges.

Money laundering involvement in US Operation Casablanca
Operation Casablanca was a three-year U.S. investigation of major Mexican banking institutions for laundering illicit drug profits. Mexican authorities were not informed about the investigation.
This operations led U.S. Customs agents to arrest 22 high-ranking and mid-level bankers from 12 of Mexico's largest banks when they traveled to the U.S. in mid-May, expecting to attend a banking conference. The investigation produced 160 indictments, including 3 Mexican banks and 26 Mexican bankers.

From the June to July 1998 issue of Money Laundering Alert, Banorte was suspected to have laundered $7,323,103.51, and Banorte faced a civil penalty lawsuit under Title 18, USC Sec. 1956(b) and civil forfeiture action under Title 18, USC Secs. 981 & 984. On July 1, 1999, a U.S. federal judge in Los Angeles dismissed with "extreme prejudice" the forfeiture case against Banorte. No criminal charges were filed and U.S. authorities gave them back $1.4 million seized in the operation.

Ariabignes (Old Persian: Ariyabigna, Greek: Ἀριαβίγνης) was one of the sons of the Persian king Darius I and his mother was a daughter of Gobryas (Γοβρύας). He participated in the Second Persian invasion of Greece, as one of the four admirals of the fleet of his brother Xerxes I, and was killed in the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC. Ariabignes was the commander of the Carian and Ionian forces.Plutarch calls him, Ariamenes (Ἀριαμένης), and speaks of him as a brave man and the most just of the brothers of Xerxes. The same writer relates that this Ariamenes laid claim to the throne on the death of Darius, as the eldest of his sons, but was opposed by Xerxes, who maintained that he had a right to the crown as the eldest of the sons born after Darius had become king.
The Persians appointed Artabanus to decide the dispute; and upon his declaring in favour of Xerxes, Ariamenes immediately saluted his brother as king, and was treated by him with great respect. According to Herodotus who calls the eldest son of Darius, Artabazanes (Ἀρταβαζάνης), this dispute, and its resolution, occurred while Darius I was still alive.
Plutarch also says that the men who killed him, during the Battle of Salamis, were Ameinias of Decelea (according to Herodotus he was from Pallene) and Socles (Σωκλῆς) of Pallene, when they hit him with their spears while he was trying to board on their ship and threw his body to the sea. In addition, he says that it was Artemisia who recognized his body floating among the shipwrecks and brought it back to Xerxes.

A Court of Arbitration is a court, sometimes outside of the official judicial system of a country, that resolves certain kinds of civil disputes, primarily between industrial or commercial entities, or between employers and employees.
The Court of Arbitration of the Australian state of New South Wales, which dealt exclusively with industrial relation disputes in the early twentieth century, has been claimed to be the first court of this type in the world. The court was unique at that time as it was the first court of its type to deal with labour relations between employer and employees on a compulsory basis.Notable examples of such courts include:
Arbitration Court at Saint Petersburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry
Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration
Court of Arbitration (New South Wales)
Employment Court of New Zealand, formerly known as the Court of Arbitration
Court of Arbitration for Sport
International Court of Arbitration (United Nations body for the resolution of international commercial disputes)
London Court of International Arbitration (London-based, non-UN-backed, body for resolution of international disputes)
Permanent Court of Arbitration (Hague-based, non-UN-backed, body for resolution of international disputes)
Supreme Court of Arbitration of Russia

Hondonadia is an extinct genus of Late Eocene to Early Oligocene (Tinguirirican) marsupials related to today's shrew opossums and with similar features as the related Rosendolops. The type species Hondonadia feruglioi was described by Goin and Candela in 1998. In later years, five more species were recognized, of which Pascualdelphys fierroensis, described by Flynn and Wyss in 1999, that was in 2010 synonymized with Hondonadia.
Description
It was a small animal, with estimates of the body weight of the mammal ranging from 27 to 93.3 grams (0.95 to 3.29 oz). The species H. feruglioi and H. praecipitia were possibly larger. Its main diet probably consisted of seeds rather than insects. The type species Hondonadia feruglioi preserves at least four upper incisors (of which the posteriormost is the smallest), but the presence of five teeth cannot be ruled out. H. feruglioi also preserves a very large, subvertical C1.
Fossil distribution
Fossils of the genus were found in the Tinguiririca fauna of the Abanico Formation of Chile, the Santa Rosa local fauna of the Yahuarango Formation in Amazonian Peru and in the Gran Barranca fauna of the Vera Member pertaining to the Sarmiento Formation in Argentina.

Against the Cult of the Reptile God is an adventure module for the first edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game, set in the game's World of Greyhawk campaign setting. It is designed for novice players and gamemasters. The suggested party size is 4-7 characters of level 1-3.
Plot
The adventure takes place on the border between the Gran March and the Kingdom of Keoland in the western Flanaess. It is one of the most challenging of the early AD&D modules, featuring a mystery that leads to adventures in town, the wilderness and a dungeon. The scenario details the village and the dungeon caves inhabited by the cult.The player characters arrive in the village of Orlane, where some villagers are friendly towards the characters, whereas some are distant and others are very distrustful, and the characters will need to find out what is wrong in the village. They find that Orlane is menaced by an evil cult, and the characters have to stop the cult. The module reaches its climax when the characters travel to the lair of Explictica Defilus, the self described "Reptile God", and slay the creature.
Publication history
The module was written by Douglas Niles, with the cover drawn by Tim Truman, and published by TSR in 1982 as a 32-page booklet with an outer folder for the first edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules. It bears the code N1 and is the first in the N (Novice) series of unrelated adventures for beginning characters.
The module was the first design by Doug Niles after he came to work at TSR. Working from an old brief, Niles completed the module in four weeks. There is a printing error in one of the module maps, the maze near the troglodytes has no exit.
Reception
Jim Bambra reviewed Against the Cult of the Reptile God for White Dwarf, and gave it 8/10 overall. Bambra felt that the village is well laid out, requiring the players to interact with its populace to piece together the various clues. Bambra noted that once the players find out what is wrong with the village, "they are in for a very hard time as the action quickly develops into a life and death struggle against the Cult." Bambra concluded that this module proves that "low level adventures are just as interesting and exciting as their high level counterparts".Doug Cowie reviewed the module in Imagine magazine and gave it a mixed review. He noted that it was "a good module" with carefully worked out details, an interesting plot and innovative touches. Cowie praised the quality of the maps, the detailed village and non-player characters. In addition, he was pleased with the fact that "the unknown adversaries do not tamely wait for the players to come and get them", but rather take the initiative if the players take too long in their investigation. On the downside, Cowie pointed out that the module is quite vague on how to get the party started and that there are some surprising omissions when it comes to providing game statistics for the non-player characters. Moreover, according to him "the structure is a stereotype": the heroes arrive in a village, investigate, go for a wilderness trip and end the adventure with a showdown in a "challenging, if traditional" dungeon.Against the Cult of the Reptile God was ranked the 19th greatest Dungeons & Dragons adventure of all time by Dungeon magazine in 2004, on the 30th anniversary of the Dungeons & Dragons game.
