"Rachel Kogan (1912-1998) was a Ukrainian-Jewish painter and educator known for her artwork in the field of realism. Biography Kogan spent her childhood in Odessa and studied at the Trade-Union Art School. Following, she attended Odessa Art Institute. In 1931 the Kogan family moved to Leningrad and Kogan was transferred to the All–Russian Academy of Arts (the former St. Petersburg Imperial Arts Academy) to study painting. Two of Kogan's professors were Shuchaev and Radlov. She received professional advice and support from Petrov- Vodkin. In 1938, she was accepted to the Leningrad Department of the Artist's Union of the USSR and took part in local and national exhibitions. During World War 2 and the siege on Leningrad, Kogan was evacuated with her children to Siberia. Her paintings were saved in the basements of the academy until the war had ended. After World War 2, Kogan started teaching painting and became a Professor of Drawing at the Saint Petersburg Art and Industry Academy. Her work was exhibited in many USSR company collections throughout the Soviet Union. Kogan then emigrated to Israel in 1973 and became a known artist and educator in the country. Her art-work is still presented in the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Rachel Kogan died at the age of 86.

"Quadrivisio aviceps is a species of estuarine amphipod known from two localities in South Africa. After its discovery in 1937, it was not recorded again until its rediscovery at the same location in 2015. Description The species is relatively large for an amphipod, with an adult body length of 14–15 mm. The carapace is uniformly greyish-brown. The second gnathopod has a thickened terminal digit (dactylus) with a shape reminiscent of a bird's head, from which the specific name is derived. A 2016 nanotomography analysis showed that the gnathopod contains an unusual horseshoe-shaped spring-like structure, which may enable the amphipod to produce forceful snaps in the manner of the pistol shrimp. As this structure is embedded in the retractor muscle itself rather than extraneous to it, it may represent a unique development in animals. Distribution and habitat Q. aviceps is known only from its type locality in the Palmiet River lagoon near Kleinmond in the Western Cape of South Africa, at the junction of river and tidal areas, and from a locality on the estuary of the nearby Klein river, near Hermanus. It was first collected in 1937 and then not recorded again until a further collection at the type locality in 2015. The species may have a total distributional range of no more than a few km2.
