Smerinthus ocellatus

Smerinthus ocellatus, the eyed hawk-moth, is a European moth of the family Sphingidae. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.

The eyespots are not visible in resting position, where the forewings cover them. They are displayed when the moth feels threatened, and may startle a potential predator, giving the moth a chance to escape.

Imago

The adult (imago) is very similar in appearance to the other two western Palaearctic Smerinthus species, Smerinthus caecus and Smerinthus kindermannii but differentiated by an apical thorn on the foretibia, and the large, circular hindwing ocellus. The upperside forewings are marked in light and dark shades of brown and resemble the colouring of bark. The hindwings are pink coloured basally and then a yellow ochre. The hindwings are dominated by a large, blue, dark-centred and black-rimmed eyespot. The thorax has light brown sides and dark brown hairs in the middle. In addition to variations in the density of the forewing pattern intensity, differences in colour are also found on the hindwing. In f. flavescens Neumann hindwing pink is replaced by yellow in f. pallida Tutt by grey and in f. albescens Tutt. In f. rosea Bartel, the pink is deep and the forewings are yellowish brown; in f. ollivryi Oberthür, the ocellus is replaced by a buff brown patch. The adult moth has a wingspan of 70–80 millimetres (2.8–3.1 in).

Smerinthus ocellatus

Historical description

Edward Newman described it thus:

The Eyed Hawk-Moth, so called from a large and beautiful spot in each of the hind wings that somewhat resembles an eye. The fore wings are brown, with a very beautiful reddish bloom over them, and clouded with olive-brown. The hind wings are of a delicate rosy red at the base, and a pale brown towards the margin; and each has a large and beautiful eye-like spot, grey in the centre, surrounded with blue, and the blue surrounded by a black ring. The skin of the caterpillar is rough, like shagreen; it is pale green, sprinkled with white, and has seven oblique white stripes on each side. The horn at the tail is blue. It is very common in the autumn, feeding on apple trees in gardens, and on willow bushes in hedges. The chrysalis is red-brown, and glossy. The Moth is found about Midsummer.

Larva

The larva (caterpillar) is pale bluish or yellowish green with small white-tipped tubercules and a grey-blue tail horn. The sides are striped white or yellow and the spiracles are white ringed with dark red. The larvae grow to about 80 mm. The larval food plants are various species of Salix, Populus and Malus.

Pupa

The pupa is glossy reddish brown, and is formed below the soil surface in late summer, where it overwinters. The adults emerge the following summer in May or June.

Subspecies

  * Smerinthus ocellatus ocellatus
  * Smerinthus ocellatus atlanticus Austaut, 1890 (confined to the Atlas Mountains and their surrounding lowlands, from Morocco to Tunisia)
  * Smerinthus atlanticus protai Speidel & Kaltenbach, 1981 (Sardinia and Corsica)

Smerinthus ocellatus atlanticus is sometimes treated as a full species, in which case Smerinthus atlanticus protai is placed as a subspecies of this species, rather than Smerinthus ocellatus.

Nomenclatural note

The name Smerinthus is apparently derived from the Greek feminine noun 'Merinthos', but has been Latinised with the masculine -us ending and is thus, according to the ICZN article 30.1.3,Smerinthus ocellata for this species is incorrect.

Divadlo za branou (opera)

Divadlo za bránou (The Theatre beyond the Gate,The Suburban Theatre) is a 1936 stage work in three acts by Bohuslav Martinů with his own libretto; the first act is a ballet pantomime (with no words); acts two and three are entitled opera buffa.

Background

As well as Czech traditional song text, the work incorporates ideas from Molière's Le Médecin volant and the mime Jean-Gaspard Deburau.Mirandolina with its commedia dell’arte elements, two decades later.Vítězslav Nezval, who had collaborated with Martinů on his opera The Voice of the Forest, but eventually he set about writing the libretto himself.Ballets Russes, who also danced Pierrot.

Commedia dell'arte, describes an Italian comedy of the French type with the characters Pierrot, Colombína and Harlequin. Katuška, the mayor, night-watchman and others are the Czech folklore features mixed with the Commedia dell'arte in the opera buffa, where Martinů's plays with Czech and Moravian folklore plus neoclassical ideas.

Composed in Paris from June 1935 and April 1936, the work was premiered in Brno in 1936.František Jílek conducting, which the composer heard when it was broadcast on the radio on 25 September 1957, listening from his home in Schönenberg in exile in Switzerland.

There was a stage production in Olomouc in 1958 conducted by Iša Krejčí, and another during the 1968–69 season at the National Theatre in PragueAlbert Rosen. The Olomouc production came to Prague for the Martinů centenary celebrations in 1990, where 14 of his 16 operas were given.

A five-movement suite from the opera compiled by Miloš Řiha was recorded by the Brno State Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by František Jílek, in May 1973, for Supraphon and issued on LP alongside other orchestral music from Martinů operas.

Synopsis

The work divides into three acts: the first consists of a ballet-pantomime, the second and the third an opera buffa.

In the first act ('Ballet-pantomime') Pierrot reports the flirtation of Harlequin with Colombine to the latter's father, an innkeeper who drags his daughter back home. Following more byplay, the jealous Pierrot fights with Harlequin, only to be pulled apart by the other dancers. After stealing gingerbread from the confectioner he is roughed up by Pierrot and the inn-keeper. Eventually after more quarrels, the inn-keeper resignedly gives his blessing to Harlequin and Colombina.


Divadlo za branou (opera)

The second and third acts, using lyrics of folk songs depict the mayor this time trying to abduct Colombina, hoping to bribe the night-watchman to help him. Pierrot is still jealous and flirts with Colombina, but after further plots and ruses, Pierrot falls into a duckpond, and then everyone gets drenched in a downpour – upon which the act ends in praise of rain, that gives a good harvest. In the third act, the mayor and night-watchman are still plotting but are overheard by Katuška and Pierrot, who with Harlequin and Colombina devise a plan to thwart them by staging a play with a false doctor (Pierrot) tending a sick Colombina. When the inn-keeper spots the likeness of Pierrot and the pseudo doctor the plot unravels, but not before the mayor and night-watchman are scared by the four lovers as ghosts. Eventually the innkeeper bows to the marriages of Harlequin with his daughter Colombina and Pierrot with his maid Katuška.

Ski (driving stunt)

A Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution doing a ski stunt

Skiing is an automotive driving stunt where the car is driven while balanced only on two wheels, either the pair on the driver side or on the passenger side.

The stunt is generally performed by driving one pair of wheels up on a ramp to lift one side of the car.center of gravity (such as a 4x4 or SUV) by turning sharply or at speed. This technique is more dangerous because there is a strong possibility of the vehicle tipping completely over. Another technique is to let some air out of the tires that will be on the ground, so that the car can tip more easily, as well as keep its balance better. Once up on two wheels, the car has to be balanced by steering (much as one would when riding a bicycle), which makes it necessary to drive more or less in a straight line.lockable differential (common on 4x4s). The stunt was perfected and first performed at the 1964 World Fair by Tonny Peterson of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Famous uses

The stunt has been used in many movies and television series, including Knight Rider,The Dukes of Hazzard,James Bond movies.Russ Swift performs this maneuver as part of his shows and has achieved it in a wide range of vehicles including trucks. His son Paul also uses it in his displays and once rolled a Ford Fiesta whilst attempting to drive around Cardiff's Millennium Stadium at the Wales Rally GB in 2005.

In the Knight Rider series, KITT had a function button on the dashboard called "Ski Mode" which, when pressed, would cause KITT to drive on two wheels.

The stunt was also used by the character Bumblebee in the 2007 Transformers film,1976 Chevrolet Camaro to the 2009 Camaro. In the movie, Bumblebee's retro look is insulted by Mikaela Banes, and Bumblebee stops to eject her and Sam Witwicky from the car. Bumblebee then drives off and skis on two wheels past a 2009 Camaro that drives by and scans it. Bumblebee then returns moments later to Sam and Mikaela, surprising the two, as the newer version of the car.

It is also featured in the film Transporter 3 to ski between two semi trucks in an escape bid by the film's main characters.


Ski (driving stunt)

The stunt is featured prominently in M.I.A.'s music video for Bad Girls.

It is also featured in the 1985 film D.A.R.Y.L. - Daryl is driving in a car chase to escape from the army.

Ulrich Mohr

Ulrich Mohr was a German naval officer and the adjutant (first officer) on the Kriegsmarine auxiliary cruiser Atlantis during the Second World War, where one of his functions was to board captured ships and search for secret papers that might be of use to the German war effort.

In November 1940, Atlantis captured the merchant ship Automedon, and Mohr led the search party that found a secret British report that revealed that they would not be able to hold Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaya if they were attacked by the Japanese. The captain of Atlantis, Bernhard Rogge, sent the documents to his superiors who gave a summary to the Japanese. Historians have speculated that the knowledge of the weak British defences in Asia may have emboldened the Japanese to invade Singapore and played a part in the development of the war in the Pacific.

In 1944, Mohr published an account of the raiding career of Atlantis titled Die Kriegsfahrt Des Hilfskreuzers Atlantis, and in 1955 he published Atlantis: The story of the German surface raider in conjunction with Arthur Sellwood.

Early life

Ulrich Mohr's father was an officer in the German navy. In his early life, Ulrich travelled to Japan, China, and the United States,

The destruction of the British ship Kemmendine by Atlantis, July 1940.

Mohr's early military career was in minesweeping, but he used his father's connections to get a transfer to something more adventurous. That was the German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis (Ship 16), a merchant raider captained by Bernhard Rogge, on which Mohr took up the position of adjutant (first officer) to replace a professor of the history of art whom Rogge thought better suited to duties on dry land.

Mohr served on Atlantis for the whole of her time at sea since leaving Germany in March 1940 until she was sunk in November 1941, during which time she sank or captured 22 Allied ships and travelled 112,500 miles (181,100 km) without putting into port.

The survivors were unable to throw the documents overboard as the key to the strong room had been lost in the shelling.invade Singapore and played a part in the development of the war in the Pacific.

In November 1941, Atlantis was attacked by the British ship HMS Devonshire in the Atlantic and scuttled by her crew after she caught fire. Devonshire did not stop to pick up survivors due to the threat of U-boats in the area. Mohr and the crew eventually made it home after two rescues were launched from Germany using U-boats and surface craft.

In 1944, Mohr published an account of the raiding career of Atlantis titled Die Kriegsfahrt Des Hilfskreuzers Atlantis. Towards the end of the war, he helped to arrange the surrender of Kiel and was a liaison officer between the British and German navies during the disarmament period.

Post-war life

In 1955, Mohr published Atlantis: The story of the German surface raider in conjunction with Arthur Sellwood. The book was published in the United States in 1956 under the title Ship 16: The story of the secret German raider Atlantis and reprinted with that title in the United Kingdom by Amberley Publishing in 2008.

Valdeande

Valdeande is a Spanish municipality in the province of Burgos in the autonomous community of Castile and León.

Valdeande is located on the north part of the shore of the Duero. It is situated 27 kilometers away from Aranda and 90 kilometers from other towns. The locality is closely tied to agriculture and has the Esgueva river as its main watercourse, which flows through the western part of the municipality, creating an extensive fertile valley.

In terms of history, various remains from the Roman period have been recognized as the oldest vestiges in the municipality. This territory was traversed by one of the routes that connected Clunia with the Arlanza river valley, and the villa of Ciella was located along this route. Other findings of crossings and traces also provide evidence of the possible existence of a small Hispano-Visigothic community in Valdeande. Valdeande also played a role in the Reconquista.

The first written document mentioning Valdeande dates back to 1037, in a manuscript by Fernando I of Castile. The village's strategic location made it an important place during historical events.

Church of San Pedro Apostle

The church is prominently situated on a raised platform, built with finely crafted ashlar stone masonry. The current bell tower is believed to have originated from a fortified tower dating back to the 11th century. During the 13th century, the second level of the tower and the church porch were added. The construction of the church showcases a mixture of architectural styles, ranging from late Romanesque (seen in the porch) to Gothic (evident in the large windows) and Renaissance (seen in the main altar), continuing through to more recent times.

Old source

The monument is situated in the elevated area of the town. It takes the form of a chapel and features an entrance to the spring through a double door consisting of twin arches with a pointed shape, separated by a column. Its origins can be traced back to the medieval period, although there is an inscription from the year 1703 that suggests a reconstruction took place at that time.

Archaeological Classroom of the Ciella Deposit


Valdeande

Archaeological Classroom of the Ciella Deposit

The classroom is situated on the upper floor of the old schools building. The purpose of this project is to provide visitors with an authentic understanding of what this Roman rural settlement was and what it represented. The classroom is divided into two areas. The first area serves as a general information space, featuring audio-visual panels and scale models. The second area is a life-size reconstruction of some of the main rooms of the Roman mansion, allowing visitors to experience and visualize the living spaces firsthand.

Ciella Deposit

To the northwest of Valdeande, there is a location where the fertile valley made use of the Esgueva river to establish a Roman rural mansion. This mansion served as the hub for a large agricultural operation. A road connected this area to the capital of the Roman Legal Convent, which was situated in Clunia, approximately 13 kilometers away.

Goddess Madre

Additionally, a stone goddess-mother has been discovered, which is considered a significant archaeological finding in the area.

Berruguete Altarpiece

In the altarpiece of the church of San Pedro, you can find what is possibly the best altarpiece in the province of Towns. Painted in the second half of the 16th century, it is definitely worth a visit.

Other places of interest

The Hermitage of the Virgin of the Juncal, municipal swimming pools, and the celebrations on June 29 in honor of San Pedro Apóstol and on June 15 in honor of the Virgin of Juncal are significant attractions and events in the area.

Ski Lift International

Ski Lift International (SLI)Incline Village, Nevada.Samuel G. Bonasso and Joseph Sugarman, with Bonasso as its first president. The company built 46 lifts, mainly double chairlifts, from 1965 until 1973. SLI had a prototype gondola and triple chair, but it is unlikely that these designs were ever used. SLI chairlifts can still be seen at ski areas such as Catamount Ski Area. The company was known for inventing the first maintenance-free bail chair, well before competitors such as Riblet or Hall. SLI shipped pre-welded towers and terminal parts to the ski areas, avoiding welding on site. SLI was purchased by Riblet Tramway Company in 1973

The Idlewild Lodge hotel

Ski Idlewild was a small ski area located in Hideaway Park, Colorado (now downtown Winter Park). It began operation in 1961 opened by Dwight and Jean Miller with a blue Pomagalski (now Poma of America) double chair with shield. In 1967 a platter lift was installed, yielding better access to the north ski runs and giving first-time skiers an easier way to access the slopes. At the base of Ski Idlewild was which was Idlewild Guest Ranch, a hotel built three years before the ski area opened. The Idlewild Lodge hotel, not to be confused with the Ski Idlewild base lodge, was a part of the Idlewild Guest Ranch and featured tennis courts, a swimming pool, a disc golf course, cross country ski trails, and the Idlewild Barn, an ice skating rink. After many years of providing novice skiers with fun and affordable skiing, Ski Idlewild closed on March 20, 1986.

In 1986, the left sheave train (wheel system) of the chairlift failed and fell to the ground. There were no deaths or injuries, but four people had to be evacuated from the lift by the ski patrol. Ski Idlewild could not pay the $550 inspection fee to the Colorado Passenger Tramway Safety Board,Tabernash, creating a vast network of cross country ski trails connecting Tabernash, Fraser, and Winter Park. In 1994, the Idlewild Lodge hotel was sold, renovated, and reopened for winter and summer operation until closing again in summer 1996. Up until the close of the hotel in 2002, the ski area was serviced by the Winter Park Resort shuttle, which provided free transportation to Ski Idlewild.

Ski Idlewild Today

For six years, Ski Idlewild sat boarded up, though almost all lifts and buildings remained. It became a frequent target of vandals and looters, as well as an occasional hangout for local kids. On July 29, 2008 it was announced that the buildings would be burned to make way for a paved road into the adjacent Rendezvous housing development and a park which will be formed on land the current owner plans to donate to the city.

William Fletcher (rower)

William Alfred Littledale Fletcher, DSO (25 August 1869 – 14 February 1919) was both a successful English oarsman and coach, and soldier.

William Fletcher "Flea" (Vanity Fair caricatures)

Fletcher was born at Holly Bank, Green Lane, Wavertree, near Liverpool, the eldest son of Alfred Fletcher, a Director of the London and North-Western Railway. He was educated at Cheam School and Eton. He went up to Christ Church, Oxford where he rowed to win the Ladies' Challenge Plate and the Thames Cup at Henley Royal Regatta in 1889.1890 he stroked the Oxford Eight in the Boat Race to end a Cambridge run of four victories. He rowed in the 1891, 1892 and 1893 Boat Races. With Vivian Nickalls he won the Silver Goblets at Henley in 1892 and 1893Leander Club crews at Henley. He was a member of the Oxford Varsity Water Polo team and was on the Committee of Vincent's Club.

Having access to considerable private wealth, Fletcher became a rowing coach. He had learned a technique at Oxford comprising a combination of swing and slide, together with a lightning entry, and he taught it to the Cambridge crews in 1898 and 1899, which led to the creation of a magnificent Cambridge crew in 1900. He missed coaching for the 1901 Boat Race as he was serving in the South African War. On return from South Africa he coached both the Oxford varsity crew and that of his old college, Christ Church, to great success and acclaim, reaching the peak of his fame as a coach. He afterwards coached many Oxford and House crews.

Fletcher was also a big game hunter and explorer. He went hunting and exploring in Siberia, Kenya, and Tibet.

He became part of the patriotic volunteer movement at the beginning of 1900, joining the 32nd Company Imperial Yeomanry on 7 February 1900.Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry Cavalry and The Lancashire Hussars. He was appointed Lieutenant and served with the 2nd Battalion Imperial Yeomanry in South Africa. On return home he relinquished his commissionDistinguished Service Order (DSO) on 27 September 1901.


William Fletcher (rower)

He enlisted again on the outbreak of the Great War, joining the Territorial Force Reserve as a captain on 23 September 1914.The King's (Liverpool Regiment) on 10 November 1914;mustard gas attack of the war, at Armentières on 29 July 1917. He had recovered sufficiently to return to duty on 11 September 1917.

"On the 23rd of July [1918], to everyone's regret, Lieutenant-Colonel W A L Fletcher proceeded to England, broken in health."

He became acting chairman of the Henley Regatta, putting forward a motion which was carried unanimously, to hold a scaled-down Regatta in the following summer. However, he never saw it to fruition, dying in the 1918 flu pandemic from broncho-pneumonia which caught hold in his gas-weakened lungs.

Its concrete arches have a span of 165 ft (50.3m) from side to side, are 42 ft (12.8m) high ft (12.8m) apart. The tensile concrete shell roof between these concrete arches is just 2.5 inches (63.5mm) thick and is daringly punctured by large rooflights. Wythenshawe Garage proved to be the model for much larger buildings using the concrete shell roof structure technique, which was an economic method of achieving large uninterrupted roof spans.

Originally designed to garage 100 double-decker buses, the building on its completion was immediately commandeered by the Ministry of Aircraft Production for work associated with the building and repair of Avro Lancaster bombers in support of Britain’s Second World War efforts.

On its return to Manchester Corporation use in 1946, the building was known as Northenden garage. It housed buses used mainly on routes linking the city centre and the large Wythenshawe housing estate, also on three serving Gatley and Styal, the Sale Moor and Brooklands districts of Sale, and Baguley and the Timperley district of Altrincham.

The building is now in private ownership and is used for car parking.

Svetlana Broz

Svetlana Broz (born 7 July 1955) is a Bosnian author and physician who specializes in cardiology. She is the granddaughter of the Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito.

Early and personal life

Svetlana Broz was born 7 July 1955 in Belgrade, the capital of Yugoslavia, the youngest child of Žarko Leon BrozJosip Broz Tito's eldest son, and Zlata Jelinek-Broz from Tuzla. As a teenager, Broz worked as a free-lance journalist from 1970 to 1975; many of her articles and interviews were published in newspapers and magazines.

She graduated from the Belgrade Medical School in 1980 and has served as a cardiologist at the Military Medical Academy from 1981 to 1999, and volunteered her services at the outbreak of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992. Her new project is about inter-ethnic marriages entered into during the war. At the outbreak of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992 she volunteered to work as a cardiologist in the atrocity zones. Over and over again her patients told her how their survival had been possible only thanks to individuals with the courage to stand up against the ethnic violence perpetrated by members of their own ethnic group, and in January 1993 she began interviewing for the book that describes these human experiences during the Bosnian War. The book was published in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1999 with a title Dobri ljudi u vremenu zla and in 2003 in the United States under the title Good People in an Evil Time.

In 2000, she moved to Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina permanently. The reason for this was, as she stated in a 2005 interview for Bosnian daily newspaper Nezavisne novine: "After the NATO intervention, I moved to Sarajevo. Twenty years ago, Belgrade was a European metropolis, a city that I loved a lot. Unfortunately, in a way that city has lost its soul. Sarajevo, despite going through a four-year-long siege of hell, kept its soul intact. I love Bosnia-Herzegovina, I feel as this is my homeland. Last year I even became a citizen."

Career

Broz is currently heading the local branch of the Gardens of the Righteous Worldwide (GARIWO) non-governmental organization.


Svetlana Broz

Since 2001 Broz has headed the organization GARIWO (technically a subsidiary of the Italian non-profit body Gardens of the Righteous Worldwide) with its flagship program Education on Civil Courage.

When her colleague and Director of Summer School of Civil Courage, Professor Dusko Kondor was assassinated on February 22. 2007, Broz launched, in Dusko's memory, the annual Dusko Kondor Civil Courage Awards. Over the course of the 6 years of its existence, this prestigious award was given to 30 laureates.

She has organized lectures and edited and published 14 books on civil courage translated from different languages. Broz is now working on screen plays and editing documentary films for a TV series called “The Best Among Us” as powerful lessons in ethics and civics for present and future generations in the West Balkans, Europe and beyond.

She has authored two books: Good People in an Evil Time – Portraits of Complicity and Resistance in the Bosnian War, translated by Ellen Elias-Bursać (2003) and Having What it Takes – Essays on Civil Courage, edited by Tom Butler, (2006).

Her work is internationally recognized for its educational innovation and unique approach. She has lectured at over 100 universities in the US and Europe.

Awards and honors

Broz was honored in 2011 by French President Nicolas Sarkozy with the award of the Ordre National du Merite.

She is an honorary citizen of the city of Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, her mother's hometown. In 2007 Centro Educativo Italo Svizzero, in Rimini, Italy awarded her the La Bussola dell’ Educazione “Margherita Zoebeli”; in 2003 the City Government of Milan, Italy awarded her L'Ambrogino d'Oro and dedicated a tree and stone to her in the World Garden of the Righteous.

Sympathicolysis

Sympathectomy under CT guidance. The patient lies on his stomach. In the first picture the injection needle is visible with its tip behind the aorta. The second image shows the distribution contrast with lysis bolus.

Sympathicolysis is a procedure for temporary or long-term elimination of sympathetic innervation. It is used to improve blood circulation in the legs or arms. The sympathetic nervous system causes the balance of the autonomic system to lean towards narrowing of blood vessels, with elimination of its function resulting in vasodilatation. Completely blocked arteries are not opened again, but the collaterals are better supplied with blood.

To improve the blood circulation to the upper extremities, an anesthetic block of the stellate ganglion is performed. Due to this blockage, in addition to vasodilatation, in the entire innervation area this leads to reduced sweating (anhidrosis) and Horner's syndrome. The latter is a sign of successful blockade. A temporary blockade of the stellate ganglion is performed for e.g. the treatment of advanced complex regional pain syndrome. Surgical elimination of the stellate ganglion (sympathectomy) is a treatment of last resort for Raynaud's disease.

The sympathetic plexus can also be blocked in other parts of the body. Lying on the major abdominal vessels sympathetic plexus may, for example, under local anesthesia guided by a CT scan it can be turned off by injection of concentrated alcohol (interventional radiology).

Procedure

In CT guided lumbar sympathicolysis, the site of neurolytic solution injection is chosen at the level of L2-L3 vertebra level. The needle should avoid the vertebral transverse process, ureter, pelvicalyceal system, and other major blood vessels. The target injection site would be anteromedial to the psoas muscle and dorsolateral to the abdominal aorta, where the sympathetic trunk would most likely be located.


Sympathicolysis

After the skin of the puncture site is cleaned, 2% lignocaine is injected into the to numb the skin and also the needle trajectory. Then a 22G China needle is inserted into the target site, which is bounded by the vertebral body, aorta, inferior vena cava, and psoas muscle. This region houses the lumbar sympathetic ganglion. Then, iodinated contrast medium (iohexol) and lignociane is injected into the target site to check the position of the needle tip. Once the needle tip position is confirmed, a mixture of neurolytic solution (99.9% alcohol) and iodinated contrast medium (at a ratio of 10:1) is injected into the target site.

William Floyd House

For the National Historic Landmark in Westernville, New York, see Gen. William Floyd House.

William Floyd House, also known as Nicoll Floyd House and Old Mastic House, was a home of Founding Father William Floyd, a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence, in Mastic Beach, New York. It was his home from 1734 until 1803. This home is distinct from Gen. William Floyd House, his later home in Westernville, New York, that is also on the National Register and which was designated a National Historic Landmark.

The two William Floyd houses are believed to be the only surviving homes in New York of signers of the Declaration of Independence. The Mastic home is "reputed to be the best preserved and oldest manor house" in its part of Long Island.

It is located about 0.29 miles (0.47 km) south of Washington Avenue and Wavecrest Drive in Mastic Beach. The home was built by Nicoll Floyd, who was William Floyd's father, and was given to William's son, also named Nicoll Floyd. The house was visited by Marquis de Lafayette and others.

The house is owned by the National Park Service as part of Fire Island National Seashore, although it's not on Fire Island itself.
