Al Artawiyah

Al Artawiyah (Arabic: الأرطاوية) is a Bedouin camp (hijrah) in Riyadh Province, Saudi Arabia, on the road between Riyadh and Kuwait.

History

The town is a center for the Mutair Bedouin tribe, who were displaced to that region by the Alharbi and Almutiri tribes after having migrated to Najd.

Artawiyah was one of the earliest settlements of the Ikhwan Wahhabi militia movement which appeared in the early part of the 20th century. This conservative group mandated strict gender rules in the town, with women banned from the public well and marketplace, instead using personal wells at each household, and gathering at the mosque steps to silently trade with vendors who arrived there.Faisal al-Dawish, who played a large role in the campaign to aid King Abdul Aziz, was then the head of the Mutair and leader of the Artawiyah community.

Ronald Hall

For the British diplomat, writer and politician, see Ronald Acott Hall.

Ronald Owen Hall CMG MC* (Chinese: 何明華; Jyutping: Ho Ming Wah; pinyin: Hé Mínghuá; 22 July 1895 in Newcastle upon Tyne – 22 April 1975 in Lewknor, Oxfordshire) was an Anglican missionary bishop in Hong Kong and China in the mid 20th century. As an emergency measure during the Second World War, with China under Japanese occupation, he ordained Florence Li Tim-Oi as the first woman priest in the Anglican Communion.

Hall had just finished his schooling when the First World War broke out, during which he served as an infantry and staff officer. He was decorated with the Military Cross and Bar, and rose to the rank of major. After the war he took a shortened degree course at the University of Oxford, and made his first visit to China for a student Christian conference in 1922. After a period as a parish priest in his native Newcastle, he became Bishop of Victoria, Hong Kong in 1932, remaining in Hong Kong until his retirement in 1966. He and his wife then settled in Oxfordshire.

Early life

Hall was born on 22 July 1895 in Newcastle, England. He was the second child (and eldest son) of an Anglican clergyman, Cecil Gallopine Hall, who was then Curate of St Andrew's Newcastle, and his wife Constance Gertrude (née Upcher, herself the daughter of another clergyman).Royal Grammar School, Newcastle, and Bromsgrove School.

War service

With the outbreak of the First World War, he joined the Northumberland Fusiliers. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant on 10 December 1914 for service with the 18th (1st Tyneside) Battalion,Pals battalions" raised as part of Lord Kitchener's New Armies. He was promoted to temporary captain on 1 April 1915.Sherwood Foresters on 9 July 1915, and subsequently to the General List with the same date, having been appointed a staff captain.brigade major,major, on 14 October 1918.Military Cross in the 1918 New Year Honours,Bar to the medal in the 1919 New Year Honours.

Early ministry


Ronald Hall

Early ministry

After the war, Hall took his degree at Brasenose College, Oxford, on the shortened degree course run in the immediate post-war years. He became a leader of the British Student Christian Movement and was appointed to the national staff in 1920.Peking in 1922. He became friends with young Chinese Christian leaders, including the evangelist T. Z. Koo (Gu Ziren) and Y. T. Wu, the founder of the Three-Self Patriotic Movement in China.

Ordained deacon in 1920 in Newcastle Cathedral and priest in Southwark Cathedral in 1921 for work with the Student Christian Movement,vicar of St Luke's Newcastle upon Tyne.

Bishop of Hong Kong

In 1932 he was appointed Bishop of Victoria, Hong Kong,Diocese of Hong Kong and Macau, retiring in 1966.Cosmo Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury, at St Paul's Cathedral.

Social engagement

Hall was described as a "legendary figure"World War II, Hall established an orphanage in Tai Po,St Christopher's Home.Hong Kong Housing Society. Under his leadership, the Anglican Church became a major partner with the Hong Kong government in provision of social services.

Ordination of first woman priest

While Bishop of Hong Kong, Hall ordained the first woman priest in the Anglican Communion. The Japanese occupation of Hong Kong and of parts of China had made it impossible for Anglican priests to get to neutral Macau, where there were a number of refugee Anglicans with no priest. Florence Li Tim-Oi had already been made a deaconess in Macau by Hall and had been authorised by him and his assistant to give the sacraments to the Anglicans in these extenuating circumstances.Hsinxing, as yet unoccupied by the Japanese, to meet with Hall; from there they proceeded to Shaoqing where he regularised her administration of the sacraments by ordaining her as a priest on 25 January 1944.Archbishop of Canterbury at the time, William Temple, confided to others his conflicting views but he felt compelled to take a public stand against it.


Ronald Hall

When the war ended in 1945, Li, to avoid controversy, gave up her licence as a priest, though never renounced her ordination. At the provincial synod of the Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui in Shanghai in 1947, Hall tried but failed to receive retroactive approval in canon law for Li's ordination. In 1948, Hall was awarded the Order of Brilliant Star with Plaque by Chiang Kai-shek.

Retirement and legacy

Hall retired in 1966 and was succeeded as bishop by Gilbert Baker.

  * References to Hall can be seen around Hong Kong. The Anglican seminary in Hong Kong, Ming Hua Theological College, and one of the student hostels of Chung Chi College, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Ming Hua Tang,
  * In 1965, the University of Hong Kong awarded him the Doctor of Divinity (honoris causa).
  * In the 1966 Queen's Birthday Honours, Queen Elizabeth appointed Hall Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG).
  * The Bishop Ho Ming Wah Chinese Centre was opened in London in 1987.

Criticism

Due to his close connections with Christian leaders in China, he was accused of being deeply influenced by Chinese communists.Alexander Grantham (1947–57) commented that one of the Hall's foundations, Bishop's Worker Schools, was "completely communist-dominated and centres of communist and anti-British indoctrination."

Robin Holliday

Robin Holliday FRS FAA (6 November 1932 – 9 April 2014) was a British molecular biologist.Holliday Junction.

Education and employment

Holliday held a B.A. in Natural Sciences and a PhD in genetics from Cambridge University. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society, a Fellow Australian Academy of Science (FAA), a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization, a Foreign Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy, and held the 1987 Lord Cohen Medal for Gerontological research. He was formerly the Head of the Genetics Division, National Institute for Medical Research, (Medical Research Council), Mill Hill, London, UK, and prior to his death was a retired Chief Research Scientist, CSIRO Division of BioMolecular Engineering, Sydney, Australia.

Epigenetic research

In 1975 he suggested that DNA methylation could be an important mechanism for the control of gene expression in higher organisms, and this has now become documented as a basic epigenetic mechanism in normal and also cancer cells. In 1988 he moved to a Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation CSIRO laboratory in Sydney, Australia, where he continued to study ageing, and his book Understanding Ageing was published in 1995. He was a biogerontologist and mentored several successful biogerontologists, including Suresh Rattan, editor-in-chief of the journal Biogerontology. The main focus of his experimental work was the epigenetic control of gene expression by DNA methylation in CHO cells. These experiments provide direct evidence that DNA methylation is a primary cause of gene silencing in mammalian cells.

Publications

Holliday was the author of numerous books, including;

  * The Science of Human Progress, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1981;
  * Genes, Proteins and Cellular Aging, Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York, 1986
  * Understanding Aging, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge England, 1995

Bill Webb (second baseman)

William Joseph Webb (June 25, 1895 – January 12, 1943) was an American professional baseball player, coach, front-office executive and manager. Although he appeared in only five Major League games as a second baseman for the 1917 Pittsburgh Pirates, Webb spent his life in baseball and served the Chicago White Sox as a big-league coach (1935–39) and farm system director (1940 until his death).Chicago native was listed as 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) tall and 161 pounds (73 kg) during his playing days. He batted and threw right-handed.

Webb's playing career lasted for 14 seasons, beginning in 1916 and ending in 1930, with 1918 missed during World War I. His brief trial (five games, including four starts at second base) with the Pirates occurred during the last two weeks of the 1917 season. Webb went hitless in his first four games and 11 MLB at bats. However, in his fifth and final game, on October 1, he went three for four (all singles) against Jack Scott of the Boston Braves and scored a run, helping the Pirates beat Boston, 2–0, at Forbes Field.

Webb resumed his minor league career in 1919 and spent the entire decade of the 1920s in the top-level International League, batting over .300 seven times. He was the player-manager of the Buffalo Bisons in 1924–25. In 1930, he resumed his managing career, and after two seasons as skipper of the Class A Galveston Buccaneers of the Texas League, winning the 1934 league title, he joined the White Sox. He coached at third base for Jimmy Dykes for five seasons before moving into their front office as minor league director.

He died at age 47 on January 12, 1943, after suffering a heart attack at the wheel of his car en route to work.

Christian Daniel Rauch

Christian Daniel Rauch by Ernst Rietschel (1857), Albertinum, Dresden

Rauch's grave in Berlin

Christian Daniel Rauch (2 January 1777 – 3 December 1857) was a German sculptor. He founded the Berlin school of sculpture, and was the foremost German sculptor of the 19th century.

Life

Bust of Christian Daniel Rauch by David d'Angers (1834)

Rauch was born at Arolsen in the Principality of Waldeck in the Holy Roman Empire. His father was employed at the court of Prince Frederick II of Hesse, and in 1790 the lad was apprenticed to the court sculptor of Arolsen, Friedrich Valentin. In 1795, he became assistant to Johann Christian Ruhl, the court sculptor of Kassel. After the death of his father in 1796 and his older brother in 1797, he moved to Berlin where he was appointed groom of the chamber in the king's household. He abandoned sculpture temporarily, but his new position provided a wider field for improvement, and he soon used the opportunity and practised his art in spare hours. He came under the influence of Johann Gottfried Schadow.

In 1802, he exhibited his "Sleeping Endymion." Queen Louisa of Prussia, surprising him one day in the act of modeling her features in wax, sent him to study at the Prussian Academy of Art. Not long afterwards, in 1804, Count Sandrecky gave Rauch the means to complete his education at Rome, where Wilhelm von Humboldt, Antonio Canova and Bertel Thorvaldsen befriended him.Zacharias Werner, Count Wengersky and the painter Raphael Mengs, the latter executed on a commission from Ludwig I of Bavaria.


Christian Daniel Rauch

In 1811, Rauch was commissioned to execute a monument for Queen Louisa of Prussia. The statue, representing the queen in a sleeping posture, was placed in a mausoleum in the grounds of Charlottenburg, and procured great fame and a European reputation for the artist. A similar statue of the Queen, even more successful, was placed in the Sanssouci Park at Potsdam. The erection of nearly all public statues came to be entrusted to him. There were, among others, Bülow, Yorck and Scharnhorst at Berlin, Blücher at Breslau, Maximilian at Munich, Francke at Halle, Dürer at Nuremberg, Luther at Wittenberg, and Grand Duke Paul Friedrich at Schwerin.

By 1824, he had executed 70 busts in marble of which 20 were of colossal size. His colossal bronze statues of Blücher are 13 feet in height, and he also executed the greater part of the 12 statues in iron which compose the National Monument for the Liberation Wars on the Kreuzberg, near Berlin. One of his finest works is the group "Faith, Hope and Charity," which he presented to his native town, Arolsen.

At length, in 1830, Rauch began, along with the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, the models for a colossal equestrian monument at Berlin to honor King Frederick II of Prussia (Frederick the Great). This work was inaugurated with great pomp in May 1851, and is regarded as one of the masterpieces of modern sculpture, the crowning achievement of Rauch's work as a portrait and historic sculptor. Princes decorated Rauch with honors and the academies of Europe enrolled him among their members. A statue of Immanuel Kant for Königsberg and a statue of Albrecht Thaer for Berlin occupied his attention during some of his last years; and he had just finished a model of Moses praying between Aaron and Hur when he was attacked by his last illness.Royal Institute of the Netherlands.Dresden, aged 80.

TimeMap

TimeMap Java is an open-source web mapping application, which was one of the first such applications to introduce generic time filtering and map animation on the web. TMJava is a comprehensive Java mapping applet which can run as a standalone application with local data, on a web site or as a two tier application with a backend server and independent metadata clearinghouse, supporting distributed data sources.

TimeMap developed out of work on mapping historical and archaeological data, starting with animated maps in 1995, a Windows mapping tool in 1997, and TMJava from 2001. Funding came from numerous sources but in particular from the Australian Research Council (Sydney TimeMap project, 2000–2002) and from the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (1998–2005). TimeMap is available as open-source on SourceForge.

TimeMap's Windows tool, TMWin, is a metadata development and map building tool which will publish interactive maps to a web site using data referenced in the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative's metadata clearinghouse.

Capabilities

TMJava can be used to develop interactive maps for web sites, for intranet enquiry systems, for museum and visitor kiosks, and for standalone CD-ROM products. In addition to static datasets, TMJava can connect with databases which are being actively updated or with live data feeds.

TMJava has very strong legend and layer management capabilities, easily handling complex maps and large datasets, with incremental loading to deliver increasing levels of detail as one zooms in.

Applications

TimeMap's is used as the core technology to number of applications, including:

  * Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative Clearinghouse Search

TMJava provides map-based spatial searching of the ECAI clearinghouse of cultural datasets and background geographic data. The search includes the Rumsey Map Collection, one of the largest digitised collections of historical maps in the world.

Pietà (Flandrin)

Pietà is an oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Hippolyte Flandrin, created c. 1842. It is held at the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.

History and description

Flandrin was a devout Roman Catholic and dedicated a large part of his work to religious inspired painting. This depiction of large dimensions of the dead Jesus in the tomb is rather unusual and original for his time. It is believed that this work was inspired by the recent death of his brother Auguste Flandrin (1804–1842), who was also a painter, and that the face of Jesus in the painting was inspired by his.

In fact, Jesus appears totally naked in the tomb, without his genital organs visible, lying in a white shroud, with the background of a desertic and enigmatic landscape. Only another figure is visible in the painting, a woman, dressed in black. The female figure is traditionally identified with the Virgin Mary, but despite her clothing matching her traditional depiction, except for the entirely black colour, in this case her facial features aren't visible, which gives an even more disturbing element to the painting. The background is almost entirely dark, except for the light that seems to be appearing in the horizon. The corpse of Jesus appears illuminated from above, which makes a contrast with the figure in black that stares at Him.

It has been speculated that the woman dressed in black is in fact more a symbol of death, which would relate it to the recent death of Flandrin's older brother. It has been also claimed that the painting questions the traditional Christian belief in Jesus resurrection, which seems unlikely because Flandrin was a devout Catholic.

Sather Tower at the University of California, Berkeley

The Jane K. Sather Professorship of Classical Literature is an endowed chair for the study of classics at the University of California, Berkeley. Established in 1914 after a donation by Jane K. Sather, widow of the Norwegian-American banker Peder Sather, the professorship requires its holder to spend one term at the university. Sather Professors would teach a full programme of classes. Since 1919, the post entails a set of lectures on a unified topic which is later published as a book by the University of California Press. According to classicist Oliver Taplin, the chair is "the most prestigious [professorship] in the subject in the world".

Foundation

In 1886, the Norwegian-American banker Peder Sather died, leaving a substantial fortune to his second wife Jane K. Sather.University of California at Berkeley. At this time, Sather stipulated that her donation be used to establish a professorship of the Classics and a fund for the study of law. Shortly before her death in 1911, she arranged for the funds to be consolidated; they were now to pay for what would become the Sather Tower and the establishment of two professorships: one in Classics and one in historiography.Regents of the University of California complied with Sather's wishes and divided her donation accordingly. $100,000 were allocated for each of the professorships.Benjamin Ide Wheeler, the university's president, appointed the British archaeologist John Myres to be the first holder of the chair.

Professorship

Wheeler Hall, where the Sather professor traditionally lectures

Initially, holder of the professorship would spend one term at Berkeley, teaching a full programme of classes.Ivan Mortimer Linforth and George Calhoun modified the nature of the appointment: henceforth, holders would give a specified number of lectures (initially eight, later six) on a unified topic. The lectures should then be published as a book by the University of California Press. Until 1952, Sather Professors were given access to an office in the university's Wheeler Hall which included its own lavatory.Dwinelle Hall furnished with a dedicated library and portraits of past holders of the chair.


The Sather Professorship has been held by numerous distinguished scholars including Cyril Bailey, E. R. Dodds, Denys Page, Geoffrey Kirk, Ronald Syme, Edward Rand, and Bernard Knox.Latinists Philip Hardie, Alessandro Barchiesi, and Denis Feeney, Hellenists Helene P. Foley, and Gregory Nagy, and historians Mary Beard and Nicholas Purcell.Oliver Taplin, the chair is "the most prestigious [professorship] in the subject in the world".

Impact

Writing for The Times Literary Supplement, poet and author Robert Bringhurst states that the Sather Lectures and its associated publications "include many major works of classical scholarship".Hugh Lloyd-Jones, offered "an important re-examination of the religious beliefs of the Greeks in the pre-classical and classical periods".The Justice of Zeus.F. W. Walbank delivered the Sather Lectures on the Greek writer Polybius. His resulting book (Polybius (1972)) was still considered the standard work on this topic in the early 21st century.Helene P. Foley gave the first Sather Lecture on the topic of classical reception studies. Analysing the re-performance of classical plays in the United States, her lectures are described by Taplin as "somewhat of a milestone" in moving the subject closer to the mainstream of classical scholarship.

Bill Wedding

Kingsley Arthur "Bill" Wedding (October 1935 – 30 June 2007) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Norwood in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). He was one of the inaugural inductees into the South Australian Football Hall of Fame, in 2002.

Wedding first played with Norwood in 1957 but wasn't able to cement his spot in the side and spent the following season in the seconds, where he won a Magarey Medal. A knock ruckman, he was at his best in the early 1960s and took out Norwood's 'Club Champion' award every year from 1961 to 1965.

Some of Wedding's best performances came at interstate level, where he out-rucked footballers to the calibre of John Nicholls and Polly Farmer. He was selected in the All-Australian team after the 1961 Brisbane Carnival and also represented South Australia at the 1966 Hobart Carnival. In all he appeared in 19 matches for his state.

TimeWars

Cover sample of "The Ivanhoe Gambit", the first book in the series.

TimeWars is a series of twelve science fiction paperback books created and written by author Simon Hawke beginning in 1984. The story involves the adventures of an organization tasked with protecting history from being changed by time travelers. In the world of the series, many people and events considered fictional are historical, and vice versa; the action of each book in the series weaves in and out of the events of a famous work of literature. For example, in the first book in the series, time travelers contesting the fate of Richard I of England become caught up in Walter Scott's Ivanhoe.

Talhaearn Tad Awen

Talhaearn Tad Awen (fl mid-6th century), was, according to medieval Welsh sources, a celebrated British poet of the sub-Roman period. He ranks as one of the earliest, if not the earliest, named poets to have composed and performed in Welsh. The better known poets Aneirin and Taliesin, who may have been slightly younger contemporaries, also belong to this early generation, the first of those known to modern scholars as the Cynfeirdd ("first poets").

Historia Brittonum

An interpolated passage in the Historia Brittonum (9th century) describes him as a famous poet, along with Aneirin, Taliesin and two lesser known figures, Blwchfardd and Cian:

Tunc Talhaern Tat Aguen in poemate claruit, et Neirin, et Taliessin, et Bluchbard, et Cian qui vocatur Gue[ni]th Guaut, simul uno tempore in poemate Brittanico claruerunt. "Then Talhaearn Tad Awen (MS. Talhaern Tataguen) was renowned in poetry, and Neirin and Taliessin and Bluchbard and Cian, who is called Gueinth Guaut, together at the same time were renowned in British poetry."

The epithet Tataguen or the later form Tad Awen means "father of the Muse" or "father of (poetic) inspiration",tal ("brow, forehead"), translates as "Shining-brow".[O]utigirn) fought against the English, notably Ida, king of Bernicia, and when Maelgwn ruled the kingdom of Gwynedd.British poets may indicate that he was regarded as the "father" of early Welsh poetry,

Allusions in Middle Welsh poetry


Talhaearn Tad Awen

Allusions in Middle Welsh poetry

The figure of Talhaearn makes brief side-appearances in several later, Middle Welsh texts. In the Welsh Triads, nos. 33 and 34, his patron appears to be same chieftain who killed Aneirin. The first of these, Triad 33, holds one Heidyn son of Enygan or Heiden son of Efengad, possibly a ruler of the "Old North",White Book of Rhydderch, Heiden is identified as "the man who used to give a hundred kine every Saturday in a bath-tub to Talhaearn".can muv may, for instance, be a scribal error for can mu, a unit of value described elsewhere.

Further mention of Talhaearn is made in a difficult Middle Welsh poem entitled Angar Kyfyndawt, which is singly preserved in the Book of Taliesin. Taliesin is staged here as the first- and third-person speaker of the poem, who presents himself as a skilled and inspired poet. In passing, he is made to refer, once to Cian and twice to Talhaearn.mwyhaf y sywedyd),

Chronometrophilia

Chronometrophilia is described in its byline as the "Swiss Association for the History of Timekeeping / Association suisse pour l'histoire de la mesure du temps / Schweizerische Gesellschaft für die Geschichte der Zeitmessung". It is a group of collectors and enthusiasts interested in the history of horology.

Given that Switzerland is quadrilingual, they needed a language-neutral name for their organisation. They invented the term chronometrophilia from the Greek chronos (time) and philia ("the love of"); and meter, a Teutonic word cognate to the Latin modius (bushel).

The association was founded in 1976 and unites collectors, scholars and museum professionals interested in the historical aspects of clocks and watches. Meetings are held about 4 times a year in various locations in Switzerland and are usually conducted bilingually in French and German. Most meetings involve visits to museums, restoration workshops or private collections. Once a year the organization also organises an international study tour, travelling to a foreign locale to study historic horological artefacts.

"Chronometrophilia" is also the name of their semi-annual glossy, scholarly journal (published with articles in both French and German).

The administrative office of Chronometrophilia is located in La Chaux-de-Fonds, a Swiss town in the Jura mountains that is considered the focus of the Swiss watchmaking industry and which also houses the Musée International d'Horlogerie.

Its main sister organizations in other countries pursuing similar goals are:

  * Antiquarian Horological Society - AHS (United Kingdom)
  * Association Française des Amateurs d'Horlogerie Ancienne - AFAHA (France)
  * Deutsche Gesellschaft für Chronometrie - DGC (Germany)
  * HORA Associazione Italiana Cultori di Orologeria Antica (Italy)
  * National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors - NAWCC (United States of America)

Description

P. algidus is 13–28 mm in length with females usually larger than males and in some areas it is a mainly black wasp with a red spot on the metasoma.Poecilopompilus may be Müllerian mimics of other wasps and that the variation in appearance of P.algidus over its range is due to it mimicking other sympatric wasps with painful stings, for example it resembles the paper wasps in the genus Polistes in the south, and thus be difficult to distinguish from its congener Poecilopompilus interruptus, but in the northern part of its range, it mimics the spider wasps of the genus Anoplius.P. algidus females have 3 strong spines and the species shows convergent inner eye margins, while P. interruptus shows four weak spines on the front tarsi in females and parallel inner eye margins.

Subspecies

There are 5 recognised subspecies

  * Poecilopompilus algidus algidus (Smith, 1855) eastern North America.
  * Poecilopompilus algidus coquilletti (Provancher) south-western United States
  * Poecilopompilus algidus fervidus (Smith, 1873) Neotropical
  * Poecilopompilus algidus marcidus (F.W., 167815) western North America
  * Poecilopompilus algidus rubiginosus

Distribution

From the Ontario south through the United States of America, Mexico and Central America to Argentina.

Habitat

Prefers sandy areas where it is fossorial, but can be found in well vegetated areas.

Biology

In the northern part of its range it is an univoltine mid-summer to late autumn species, a bit in the warmer parts of its range it is probably multivoltine.

Male specimens have been captured at flowers of Baccharis spp, Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus, Heracleum lanatum and Melilotus albus while females have also been taken at the flowers of Melilotus.


Poecilopompilus algidus

Females provision the burrows with spiders of the family Araneidae.São Paulo State, Brazil females of P.a. fervidus were observed while breeding in a sandy bank among a plantation of Eucalyptus. The wasps hunted spiders in the understorey, these wasps are regarded as a specialist hunter of orb web spiders, in the family Araneidae. The wasps were observed to switch from Nephila clavipes in July to Parawixia sp., Argiope argentata and Araneus sp. as the year progressed.

Observations of the nominate subspecies in southern Florida showed that the female wasps hunted in the late afternoon and that they actively hunted within the scrub and trees at heights of between 3m and 20m. The wasps hunted by actively walking on the surface of the vegetation, intermittently flicking their wings, but stayed in the outer layers of leaves and did not enter into deeper cover. The only prey observed as an adult female Eriophora ravilla which the wasp had placed in vegetation 8 cm above the ground, while the wasp excavated a burrow 1.2 m away. The burrow was excavated in bare sand among dried pine needles, the wasp used her mandibles to break the crust on the surface of the sand, and then used her forelimbs to excavate the looser sand, which was removed by the wasp backing out to a distance of 10–13 cm. Her digging activities got faster as she neared completion of the burrow, occasionally interrupting her efforts to inspect and move the prey. To move the prey, it was dragged backwards over the ground and under the vegetation while the wasp held it by the base of the hind femur. Before placing the spider in the nest she carried out further excavation and appeared to line the nest with dried pine needles which she carried into the burrow, then the spider was grabbed by its chelicerae and dragged into the burrow. The wasp then backfilled the burrow with loose sand using its forelegs and once the burrow was filled it appeared to tamp the sand down with its abdomen before place pine needles over the now buried nest.
