Porter Mountain | Mountain in New York, United States | Porter Mountain is one of the Adirondack High Peaks. It is number 38 in order of height, and one of the easier hikes of the Adirondack Forty-Sixers. It is named after Noah Porter, one of the first to climb it, later president of Yale University.
It is often climbed to with Cascade Mountain. While it lacks the pseudo-alpine open summit of Cascade, there are nevertheless wide views available from the summit, particularly of the Johns Brook Valley to the east (which Porter blocks from Cascade); it is often less crowded than Cascade.
A yellow-blazed trail leaves the trail to Cascade about short of that mountain's summit, and leads down into the mountain pass between the two peaks about to Porter's summit.
It is also possible to follow this trail from its other terminus, over neighboring Blueberry Mountain from Keene Valley, although that involves a greater vertical ascent and a longer trip. The trailhead to Blueberry Mountain and subsequently Porter Mountain is accessible from a parking lot next to Marcy Airfield on route 73. |

Macdonald seamount | Seamount in Polynesia, southeast of the Austral Islands | Macdonald seamount (named after Gordon A. Macdonald) is a seamount in Polynesia, southeast of the Austral Islands and in the neighbourhood of a system of seamounts that include the Ngatemato seamounts and the Taukina seamounts. It rises from the seafloor to a depth of about and has a flat top, but the height of its top appears to vary with volcanic activity. There are some subsidiary cones such as Macdocald seamount. The seamount was discovered in 1967 and has been periodically active with gas release and seismic activity since then. There is hydrothermal activity on Macdonald, and the vents are populated by hyperthermophilic bacteria.
Macdonald seamount is the currently active volcano of the Macdonald hotspot, a volcanic hotspot that has formed this seamount and some other volcanoes. Eruptions occurred in 1967, 1977, 1979–1983 and 1987–1989, and earthquakes were recorded in 2007. The activity, which has produced basaltic rocks, has modified the shape of the volcano and may lead to the formation of an island in the future. |

Crochet | Technique of creating lace or fabric from thread using a hook | Crochet (; ) is a process of creating textiles by using a crochet hook to interlock loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials. The name is derived from the French term crochet, meaning 'hook'. Hooks can be made from a variety of materials, such as metal, wood, bamboo, or plastic. The key difference between crochet and knitting, beyond the implements used for their production, is that each stitch in crochet is completed before the next one is begun, while knitting keeps many stitches open at a time. Some variant forms of crochet, such as Tunisian crochet and broomstick lace, do keep multiple crochet stitches open at a time. |

Carvel (boat building) | Method of building a boat | Carvel built or carvel planking is a method of boat building in which hull planks are laid edge to edge and fastened to a robust frame, thereby forming a smooth surface. Traditionally the planks are neither attached to, nor slotted into, each other, having only a caulking sealant between the planks to keep water out. Modern carvel builders may attach the planks to each other with glues and fixings.Carvel Planking Texts for Sailboats—Richard Joyce Montana Tech It is a "frame first" method of hull construction, where the shape is determined by the framework onto which the planks are fixed. This is in contrast to "plank first" or "shell first" methods, where the outer skin of the hull is made and then reinforced by the insertion of timbers that are fitted to that shape. The most common modern "plank first" method is clinker construction; in the classical period "plank first" involved joining the edges of planks with mortise and tenon joints within the thickness of the timbers, superficially giving the smooth-hull appearance of carvel construction, but achieved by entirely different means.
Compared to clinker-built hulls, carvel construction allowed larger ships to be built. This is because the fastenings of a clinker hull took all the hogging and sagging forces imposed by the ship moving through large waves. In carvel construction, these forces are also taken by the edge-to-edge contact of the hull planks. |

Kepler-47 | Binary star in the constellation Cygnus | Kepler-47 is a binary star system of constellation Cygnus with three exoplanets in orbit around the pair of stars located about 1055 parsecs (3,442 light years) away from Earth. The first two planets announced are designated Kepler-47b, and Kepler-47c. Kepler-47 is the first circumbinary multi-planet system discovered by the Kepler mission. The outermost of the planets is a gas giant orbiting within the habitable zone of the stars. Because most stars are binary, the discovery that multi-planet systems can form in such a system has impacted previous theories of planetary formation.
A group of astronomers led by Jerome Orosz at San Diego State University, including astronomers from Tel-Aviv University in Israel, discovered the planetary system via NASA's Kepler space telescope in 2012. In November 2013, evidence of a third planet orbiting between the planets b and c, Kepler-47d, was announced. Later analyses of transit data from the Kepler space telescope confirmed the existence of Kepler-47d. |

2009 Fort Hood shooting | Mass shooting near Killeen, Texas | On November 5, 2009, a mass shooting took place at Fort Hood, near Killeen, Texas. Nidal Hasan, a U.S. Army major and psychiatrist, fatally shot 13 people and injured more than 30 others. It was the deadliest mass shooting on an American military base.
Hasan was shot and as a result paralyzed from the waist down.Austin American-Statesman, November 7, 2009 He was arraigned by a military court on July 20, 2011 and was charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. His court-martial began on August 7, 2013. Due to the nature of the charges (more than one premeditated, or first-degree, murder case, in a single crime), Hasan faced either the death penalty or life in prison without parole upon conviction. Hasan was found guilty on 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder on August 23, 2013, and was sentenced to death on August 28, 2013.
Days after the shooting, reports in the media revealed that a Joint Terrorism Task Force had been aware of a series of e-mails between Hasan and the Yemen-based Imam Anwar al-Awlaki, who had been monitored by the NSA as a security threat, and that Hasan's colleagues had been aware of his increasing radicalization for several years. The failure to prevent the shootings led the Defense Department and the FBI to commission investigations, and Congress to hold hearings.
The U.S. government declined requests from survivors and family members of the slain to categorize the Fort Hood shooting as an act of terrorism, or motivated by militant Islamic religious convictions. In November 2011, a group of survivors and family members filed a lawsuit against the government for negligence in preventing the attack, and to force the government to classify the shootings as terrorism. The Pentagon argued that charging Hasan with terrorism was not possible within the military justice system and that such action could harm the military prosecutors' ability to sustain a guilty verdict against Hasan. |

Pseudocyphella | Terminology in lichen morphology | Pseudocyphellae (singular pseudocyphella) are structures in lichens that appear as tiny pores on the outer surface (the cortex of the lichen. They are caused when there is a break in the cortex of the lichen, and the medullary hyphae extend to the surface. Pseudocyphellae are the same colour as the medulla of the lichen, which is generally white, but can be yellow in some species of Pseudocyphellaria and in Bryoria fremontii. The presence/absence, abundance, colour, and shape of pseudocyphellae can all be diagnostic features used to identify different species. They facilitate gas exchange through the surface of the lichen, and may provide an adaptive advantage in temperate environments. |

Leon Grochowski | Polish National Catholic primate | Leon Grochowski (11 October 1886 – 17 July 1969) was the second Presiding Bishop of the Polish National Catholic Church in the United States, Canada and Poland and early American radio evangelist.
Born in Skupie, Poland, he came to the United States in July 1905, on board the S/S Bremen which sailed from Bremerhaven, Germany, to the Port of Baltimore, Maryland. He became a United States citizen in 1923. Grochowski was a partisan freedom fighter during the last Czarist occupation of Poland, forcing him to flee Russian authorities. Upon reaching America he continued his studies in engineering which he started in Germany but became interested in the Polish National Catholic Church (PNCC) movement. Upon graduation from the PNCC Savonarola Theological Seminary, one of his first pastorships was St. Adalbert's Parish in Dickson City, Pennsylvania, where he led rebuilding efforts following an arson fire that destroyed the parish's original structure.
Grochowski was elected bishop on July 15, 1924, and was consecrated to the episcopate on August 17, 1924. He then served as bishop of the Western Diocese of the Polish National Catholic Church, based in Chicago, Illinois, for 30 years. During that time, he helped organize parishes throughout the Midwest and became an early radio evangelist. Hosting a radio hour on WGES Chicago for 25 years, Grochowski utilized a format now used by contemporary televangelists, broadcasting testimonials and hosting celebrities popular with the audience he was trying to reach. His radio hour is archived in the National Museum of Radio and Television, New York City and Los Angeles, California. With the expansion of the Western PNCC diocese, his tenure also saw the construction of All Saints Cathedral, begun in 1930 and completed in 1931. Constructed of limestone, it became known as the “white cathedral” which is clearly visible when overlooking Chicago’s skyline.
Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Grochowski also engaged in missionary work in Poland, helping to organize Polish National Catholic parishes there. During that time, he was awarded the Cross of Valor in 1932, Poland's highest honor to individuals who fought the Czarist occupation of Poland.
Grochowski also served as the third diocesan bishop of the Central Diocese of the Polish National Catholic Church. He became Prime Bishop of the PNCC upon the death of Franciszek Hodur in 1953. During that time Grochowski organized clothing and food aid programs to Poland in the aftermath of World War II, called the Good Samaritans. Because he showed no favoritism in the distribution of food and medical supplies, the communist regime in Poland eased its persecution of the PNCC Church. As a result, Grochowski also was awarded the Bojownikom Niepodleglosci, (Knight's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta), by the post-war government of Poland, the Polish Peoples' Republic.
Grochowski’s tenure as PNCC presiding bishop in America also focused on the youth of the church which included his overseeing the construction of St. Stanislaus Youth Center in the late 1960s in Scranton, Pennsylvania, after which he was awarded the keys to the City of Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Grochowski died in Warsaw at age 82 while engaging in missionary work on July 17, 1969. His body is entombed in the “Monument of Gratitude” Mausoleum in St. Stanislaus Cathedral Cemetery, Scranton, Pennsylvania, where he rests with the PNCC’s First Presiding Bishop, Bp. Hodur. He was succeeded by Bp. Thaddeus Zielinski, who said upon his death that he, "gave all his loyalty, love and labor for the church and his people," and that Grochowski believed that, "to serve people is to serve God. He gave his life for Jesus and the church." |

Brorphine | Chemical compound | Brorphine is a piperidine-based opioid analgesic compound. Brorphine was originally discovered in a 2018 paper investigating functionally biased opioid compounds, with the intention of finding safer analgesics that produce less respiratory depression than typical opioids. Brorphine was originally reported to be highly biased, with an EC50 of 4.8nM for GTPγS binding and 182nM for β-arrestin recruitment, however a more recent study found no significant bias for any of the compounds tested, including brorphine. Its safety profile in any animal model has never been established. Despite the lack of safety information on the compound, brorphine has been sold as a designer drug since mid-2019, initially being identified in the US Midwest, though it has since been found in 2020 in Belgium. It is related in chemical structure to compounds such as benzylfentanyl and bezitramide, though it is sufficiently structurally distinct to fall outside the formal definition of a "fentanyl analogue" in jurisdictions such as the US and New Zealand which have Markush structure controls over this family of drugs.
Brorphine was first identified in the U.S. recreational drug supply in July 2020 by the Center for Forensic Science Research and Education (CFSRE) through its NPS Discovery program; however, earlier identifications by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) may have come as early as late 2019. The rise of brorphine in the U.S. can be directly linked to the decline of isotonitazene due to scheduling by the DEA. Brorphine was first implicated in 20 deaths in the U.S., primarily in cases originating from midwest states. Brorphine was commonly found with fentanyl and flualprazolam, a drug combination verified by drug product testing. Brorphine has also been identified in counterfeit opioid pills and tablets. Recently data from CFSRE and NMS Labs show that brorphine has been detected in more than 100 cases as of October 2020. |
