# Wanko soba

Wanko soba (わんこそば) is a style of Japanese soba noodles originating from Iwate Prefecture in Japan, particularly Morioka and Hanamaki. It consists of a small serving of soba noodles in small bowls. In this soba experience, customers quickly eat their soba noodles and get their bowl immediately refilled in repetition.

## History and origins

The name wanko comes from the regional dialect of the Iwate Prefecture from which it comes, meaning "bowl", but more specifically, a small, wooden Japanese soup bowl. There are many theories about the origin of the dish itself however.
* One such origin is of a landowner who was having a festival on his land. There was a crowd of over a hundred villagers and guests who customarily ate soba at festivals. However, there were so many people to feed but the pots in which the soba were to be made were very small. The soba noodles were spread around in reduced quantities so that there would be enough for everyone.
* Nanbu Toshinao, a territorial lord of the Nanbu area, came and stopped at a house in Hanamaki, asking for a meal. His retainers served him a local variety of soba in a small soup bowl. Thinking they served Nanbu something too rustic and without much flavor, they were afraid of his reaction. But Nanbu thought it was delicious, and ordered more servings. This is said to have established the tradition of hosts continuing to serve small bowls until their guest was satisfied.
There are many stories of how the dish came to be, but these two are the most common. However, as the term wanko did not come about until after World War II, some repudiate the stories.
In December 1957, the Hanamaki-shi Cultural Centre was the site of the first annual contest of who could eat the most bowls of wanko soba. The event continues to this day, featuring noodle fans from many countries.
Wanko soba is one of the three great noodles of Morioka, along with Morioka reimen and Morioka jajamen.

# Newport Law Courts, Isle of Wight

Newport Law Courts, also known as the Isle of Wight Combined Court Centre, is a Crown Court venue which deals with criminal cases, as well as a County Court, which deals with civil cases, in Quay Street, Newport, Isle of Wight, England. It also accommodates the local magistrates' court.

## History

Until the early 1990s, criminal court trials were held in Newport Guildhall. However, as the number of court cases in Newport grew, it became necessary to commission a more modern courthouse for criminal matters. The site selected by the Lord Chancellor's Department had been occupied by a row of private houses: No. 1 Quay Street had been the home of Henry Mew, a director of the brewery, Mew Langton & Company. There was a bottling store at the back of the house, which was one of the support buildings for the main brewery building on The Quay.
The new building was designed by Rainey Petrie Architecture in the Modernist style, built in red brick at a cost of £3.4 million, and was completed in 1994. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of nine bays facing onto Quay Street. The third bay from the right, which, unlike the rest of the main frontage, was three storeys high rather than two storeys, featured a double-doorway with a stone architrave on the ground floor and a projecting triangular window spanning the first and second floors, all surmounted by a pediment with a Royal coat of arms in the tympanum. The second bay from the left contained an entrance in a similar style but the projecting triangular window only spanned the first floor. The other bays were fenestrated by square casement windows on the ground floor and by a mixture of casement and projecting triangular windows on the first floor. Internally, the building was laid out to accommodate four courtrooms.
Notable cases have been the trial and conviction of Graham Medway, in October 2020, for sex offences which included the rape of a three-year-old child.

# Vermilacinia vesiculosa

Vermilacinia vesiculosa is a fruticose lichen known only from a vertical rock face north of Punta Canoas along the Pacific Coast of Baja California. The epithet vesiculosa is in reference to the bladder-like swellings on the thallus.

## Distinguishing features

Vermilacinia vesiculosa is classified in subgenus Vermilacinia in which it is characteristically unique in having large bladder like swellings and pycnidia elevated on pustular lobes. The round warty "bladders" develop laterally on branches and are conspicuous by their size relative to the width of the branch, up to four times greater in width than the branch. Lichen substances are of the chemotype found in most species of the subgenus: an unknown T3, the triterpene zeorin and the diterpene (-)-16 α-hydroxykaurane, with accessory β-orcinol depsidone, salazinic acid. The thallus was pendulous, lying flat against the vertical rock face, and has a cortex 100–200 μm thick.

## Taxonomic history

Vermilacinia vesiculosa was discovered by Richard Spjut, assisted by Richard Marin, while climbing a vertical rock face along the north side of Punta Camachos, which lies between Puerto Catarina and Punta Canoas. The species was growing in a sheltered spot below a rock overhang, 320 meters above the sea, 15 March 1994. It was reportedly observed but intentionally not collected at one other nearby site. Despite its unique features, Peter Bowler and Janet Marsh treated the species under their Niebla ceruchis, a name they misapplied to corticolous species in North America. They also included seven other corticolous species described by Spjut; the listings made without taxonomic discussion or explanation as to why they all should be treated as one species.

# Victoria Theater (Harlem)

The Victoria Theater was a theater located on 125th Street in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It was designed in 1917 by Thomas W. Lamb, a notable and prolific theater architect of the era, for the Loew's Corporation. It was largely demolished in 2017, with the facade and lobby retained as part of a new mixed-use skyscraper, the tallest building in Manhattan north of Central Park.
The Loew's Victoria Theater, as it was known until 1977, opened as a 2,394-seat, luxury Vaudeville and motion picture theater. Typical of movie palaces of its era, it contained a stage and backstage dressing rooms and provisions for live music, including an organ. It cost $250,000 to build and was hailed “as one of the largest and most beautiful theaters in greater N.Y.” by a contemporary publication. When the Victoria was built, it joined many other Harlem theaters including the Proctor, Hammerstein Opera House, the Alhambra as well as the nearby Apollo, then the Hurtig & Seamon's New (Burlesque) Theater. In 1977, the Harlem Community Development Corporation acquired the building.
The Victoria was converted to a multi-screen cinema in 1987. Five movie theaters were created from the large auditorium, mezzanine and stage areas. The cinema closed soon after, in 1989, but a 400-seat venue was left intact in the orchestra, at which the original Harlem company of Godspell, which drew major newspaper and television network broadcast coverage, ran for approximately a year in the 1996/97 season. In 2005 several proposals for redevelopment were made. Only two proposals called for reusing the theater's interior, which angered some community leaders, according to the New York Times.
The new Victoria Theater project, developed by the Lam Group and Exact Capital, designed by architect Ariel Aufgang and interiors by AJC Design, began construction in April 2017. The theater was largely demolished, except for the historic facade, marquee, outdoor ticket booth, lobby and grand staircase. Behind that was constructed a 27-story, 400,000-square-foot tower, the tallest building in Manhattan north of Central Park. It contains 191 mixed-income rental apartments; a 210-room Renaissance hotel; 25,000 square feet of retail; and another 25,000 square feet of cultural and arts space. The project suffered numerous delays and was forced to seek refinancing, which was secured in the spring of 2022. The Victoria Tower Residences opened in 2022, while the Renaissance New York Harlem Hotel opened on October 17, 2023.

# Vermilacinia zebrina

Vermilacinia zebrina is a fruticose lichen that grows on bark of trees and shrubs, occasionally on rocks, in the fog regions along the Pacific Coast of North America, from Puget Sound in northern Washington to near El Rosario in Baja California. The epithet, zebrina, is in reference to the black transverse bands on the thallus branches; however, the species is interpreted to include thalli without black bands.

## Distinguishing Features

Vermilacinia zebrina is classified in the subgenus Cylindricaria in which it is distinguished from related species by thallus divided into narrow cylindrical branches arising from a holdfast; branches are 1.0–4 cm long, 0.3–1 mm wide, shortly bifurcate near apex, and have soralia often larger than the diameter of the branch. Lichen substances are usually limited to zeorin and (-)-16-hydroxykaurane, in contrast to V. cephalota that usually has additional substances of depsidones, terpenes and bougeanic acid. Usnic acid, which has no taxonomic value in the genus, is present ln most if not all species in the genus.

## Taxonomic History

Vermilacinia zebrina was described in 1996 by Richard Spjut;, although it appears to have been informally recognized without name by Phillip Rundel, Peter Bowler and Thomas Mulroy in 1972; they stated that “at least two morphologically distinct sorediate Desmazierias have been included within D. cephalota.” Desmazieria is an older illegitimate name (according to the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature) that was replaced by Niebla. Vermilacinia was segregated from Niebla based on difference in the cortex, medulla, and chemistry. Bowler had indicated that there were three sorediate species in the genus but later recognized only one sorediate species. Spjut recognized three sorediate species in subgenus Cylindricaria, and suggested that V. zebrina might comprise two species. Two additional sorediate species have been described from South America.
# Potez 6D

The Potez 6D is a French six cylinder inverted inline aircraft engine put into production after World War II in normal and supercharged versions. Unsupercharged, it produced a take-off power of 179 kW (240 hp) at 2,530 rpm.

## Design and development

In the 1930s Potez planned a series of new engines to replace their Anzani-derived radial engines. The Potez 4D, a four-cylinder inverted inline engine ran before World War II but did not reach production until the late 1940s, when it was joined by another inverted inline, the six cylinder 6D, and an eight-cylinder inverted-V, the Potez 8D. The D-series engines had much in common, most obviously sharing pistons and cylinders, with the same stroke, bore and valve gear. The inlines also shared connecting rods and lubrication systems and were offered in normally aspirated or supercharged versions.
