James Watt was born on 19 January 1736 in Greenock, Renfrewshire, a seaport on the Firth
of Clyde. His father was a shipwright, ship owner and contractor, and served as the town's chief
baillie, while his mother, Agnes Muirhead, came from a distinguished family and was well
educated. Both were Presbyterians and strong Covenanters. Watt's grandfather, Thomas Watt,
was a mathematics teacher and baillie to the Baron of Cartsburn. Despite being raised by
religious parents, he later on became a deist.
Watt did not attend school regularly; initially he was mostly schooled at home by his
mother but later he attended Greenock Grammar School. Watt travelled to London to study
instrument-making for a year,and an aptitude for mathematics, while Latin and Greek failed to
interest him.
When he was eighteen, his mother died and his father's health began to fail. Watt travelled
 to London to study instrument-making for a year, then returned to Scotland, settling in the major
commercial city of Glasgow intent on setting up his own instrument-making business. He made
and repaired brass reflecting quadrants, parallel rulers, scales, parts for telescopes, and
barometers, among other things. Because he had not served at least seven years as an apprentice,
the Glasgow Guild of Hammermen (which had jurisdiction over any artisans using hammers)
blocked his application, despite there being no other mathematical instrument makers in
Scotland.
Watt was saved from this impasse by the arrival of astronomical instruments to the
University of Glasgow that required expert attention. Watt restored them to working order and
was remunerated. These instruments were eventually installed in the Macfarlane Observatory.
Subsequently three professors offered him the opportunity to set up a small workshop within the
university. It was initiated in 1757 and two of the professors, the physicist and chemist Joseph
Black as well as the famed Adam Smith, became Watt's fri

The Atamasco Lily, Zephranthes atamasco, is perennial herb that grows from a subterranean
bulb. This bulb is dark, with a short neck and papery tunic formed by remnants of old leaf bases.
Leaves are glossy green, linear, flat to somewhat concave, up to one half inch wide,
approximately one foot in length and, overall, rather grass like.
This plant went undetected in Maryland State until it was discovered in flower in 1989. In
Maryland, this species has been found at only one site on the lower Eastern Shore. Other names
for this species are the Wild Easter Lily or Rain Lily. According to folklore, the flower can be
seen blooming in large numbers after spring showers.
This flower is predominately a southern species, rare in Maryland and northern Virginia,
but more common through the Carolinas to Alabama. The preferred habitat for the Atamasco
Lily is moist meadows or wet open woods. The leaves and bulb of this flower are reported to be
poisonous. This species is protected as an Endangered species in the State of Maryland. The
main threat to this relatively common species is habitat destruction.

Dayak, also spelled Dyak, the indigenous people of the island of Borneo, most of whom
traditionally lived along the banks of the larger rivers. Their languages all belong to the
Indonesian branch of the Austronesian language family. At the turn of the 21st century the
Dayak population of Borneo could be estimated roughly at 2.2 million.
The most prominent of the numerous Dayak subgroups are the Kayan (in Kalimantan
usually called Bahau) and Kenyah, primarily of southeastern Sarawak and eastern Kalimantan;
the Ngaju of central and southern Kalimantan; the Bidayuh of southwestern Sarawak and
western Kalimantan; and the Iban of Sarawak.
In the past, the highly developed and complex religious practices of the Dayak people
involved numerous local spirits and omen animals. Intertribal warfare was common,
with headhunting a major feature. Since the mid-20th century, however, Dayak people have
steadily adopted Anglicanism, Roman Catholicism, and Protestantism; by the early 21st century
the vast majority of the population was Christian.
Historically, these riverine people lived mostly in longhouse communities, seldom with
more than a few hundred members, and traced their descent through both the male and female
lines. The family was the basic unit, and children remained with their parents until married.
Despite the lack of unity between groups closely related in language, custom, and marriage, a
boy often sought his bride outside his own village and went to live in her community. In
contemporary society, however, many young Dayak men and women leave home before they are
married, often to study or work in urban areas; many also pursue rural employment, usually at
timber camps or on oil palm plantations.
