# Rockland Industries

Rockland Industries, Inc. is a textile manufacturing company in the United States. The company is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, having manufacturing facilities in Bamberg, South Carolina. Rockland Industries has sales in more than 90 countries worldwide, including the United States.

## History

Rockland Industries was founded as Rockland Bleach and Dye Works in 1831 by three brothers from England - James, Robert, and John Wright. The company was formed in the Rockland Historic District of Brooklandville, an area of present-day Baltimore, and is recorded as the oldest corporation in Baltimore County. Rockland Bleach and Dye Works produced premier cotton and Irish woolens that were used all over the United States.
The current location of the headquarters and Baltimore manufacturing on Edison Highway was once Bugle Field, which was primarily used as a Negro league baseball field that was home to the Baltimore Elite Giants and Baltimore Black Sox from the late 1920s until around 1950. It was home to great players such as Roy Campanella, and was also the site that several Major League Baseball players were discovered, as Bugle Field was owned by the owners of the former Washington Senators and a local laundering company.
In 1944, Alexander Leaderman, a decorated U.S. Army officer, purchased the company after returning home from WWII and renamed it Rockland Industries. The new company introduced the concept of lining curtains with a specially treated fabric to prevent them from being damaged by sunlight and moisture, much the way linings protect clothing fabric. In 1963, Rockland patented and introduced Roc-lon Rain-No-Stain, the first brand name curtain lining ever produced. The product featured insulation properties, oil and water-borne stain repellency, as well as a UV inhibitor for protection against fading. Roc-lon Rain-No-Stain was awarded the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval in 1964, the only drapery lining ever awarded that recognition.
Rockland sells its Roc-lon Blackout blackout fabrics and drapery linings to the commercial hotel and hospitality trade as well as to the retail and residential markets. In addition to its commercial usage, Rockland’s blackout is also used by the U.S. State Department in embassies and consulates around the world, as well as U.S. government and military installations and service academies.
Rockland is a large manufacturer of drapery lining, with its success based largely on its long-running products.

# Rodgersia podophylla

Rodgersia podophylla is a species of flowering plant in the saxifrage family native to Japan and Korea. Growing to 2 m (6.6 ft) tall and broad, it is a herbaceous perennial with handsome spiky leaves, and occasional creamy-white flower panicles in June and July. It is extensively grown for ornamental use in gardens where it prefers damp shady positions on neutral to acid soils. Though hardy to −20 °C (−4 °F) it enjoys a sheltered location. It is chosen primarily for its clumps of large 5- or 7-toothed palmate leaves, which open bronze, turning green in summer and bronze-red in autumn. It can spread by underground rhizomes, eventually covering a large area.
The compact cultivar 'Rotlaub' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
# Rocky Allen

Rocky Allen (born in 1955) is an American talk radio personality and host of the eponymous Rocky Allen Showgram. It aired, most recently, from 3 to 7 pm ET on FM station WPLJ, New York. Allen's show, which he co-hosts with long-time on-air partner Blain Ensley, is a mix of celebrity interviews, Top 40 music, and variety talk.
Allen has previously hosted shows in Providence (1991-1993), Detroit, St. Louis, Buffalo, and Dayton.

## Biography
### New York Radio

Allen's well-traveled career is best known for his streaks on New York radio station WPLJ, where he hosted an afternoon-drive show from 1993 until 1998, and again beginning in September 2005 until February 2008.
During his first run on the station, Allen underwent a series of surgeries beginning in October 1996 to remove calcium deposits believed to be the cause of persistent back pain. Allen was partially paralyzed following the surgeries, and required the use of a wheelchair. In October 1997, after a year of not being able to walk, doctors advised Allen to undergo full-time rehab which they said might be the only way for him to be able to walk again. This prompted Allen to go on a five-month leave of absence from radio, after which he was able to walk freely.
In January 1999, Allen made an unsuccessful move to WPLJ sister station WABC. The move was designed to complement WABC's non-political morning talk lineup of Art Bell and Laura Schlessinger. The show never matched its afternoon ratings success, and was replaced 15 months later by Curtis and Kuby, who had vacated the morning show on the station to make room for Allen.
Allen proceeded to host the morning show on WDVD, Detroit in 2001. He was joined by Blain Ensley in 2002. Ensley had served as co-host on the Sports Guys.
Allen and Ensley returned to WPLJ on September 20, 2005, nearly seven years after leaving the station. The show placed 15th among listeners ages 12-and-over in the Spring 2006 Arbitron book.
In a cost-cutting measure by WPLJ's parent company Citadel, the Rocky Allen Showgram was cancelled on February 29, 2008. Race Taylor, who was bumped to midday by the return of Allen, returned to the afternoon drive with a music-only format.
Allen briefly resurfaced in 2008 doing weekend sports talk on WEPN.

### Personal life

Allen was born in Georgia. He attended St. Louis Community College and University of Missouri – St. Louis. He and his wife Julie have two daughters.

# Platonic

Plato's influence on Western culture was so profound that several different concepts are linked by being called Platonic or Platonist, for accepting some assumptions of Platonism, but which do not imply acceptance of that philosophy as a whole. It may also refer to:
* Platonic love, a relationship that is not sexual in nature
* Platonic forms, or the theory of forms, Plato's model of existence
* Platonic idealism
* Platonic solid, any of the five convex regular polyhedra
* Platonic crystal, a periodic structure designed to guide wave energy through thin plates
* Platonism, the philosophy of Plato (Classical period)
* Middle Platonism, a later philosophy derived from that of Plato (1st century BC to 3rd century AD)
* Neoplatonism, a philosophic school of Late Antiquity deriving from Plato (starting in the 3rd century AD)
* Platonism in the Renaissance
* Platonic (TV series), American comedy streaming television series by Francesca Delbanco and Nicholas Stoller (2023)
# Platonic crystal

Platonic crystals are periodic structures which are designed to guide flexural wave energy through thin elastic plates.
The term platonic crystal is formed by analogy to photonic crystals, phononic crystals, and plasmonic crystals. The name emphasizes a thin plate formulation, which is governed by a fourth order partial differential equation, as opposed to a second order equation which governs other types of crystals. There are also strong connections between platonic crystals and metamaterials.
The study of platonic crystals is referred to as platonics, and does not refer to the teachings of Plato, or the Platonic solids. The term is now in common usage by multiple research groups in Australia, New Zealand, France, and the United Kingdom.

## Applications

The types of platonic structures that have been examined include arrays of perforations, arrays of pins, arrays of point masses, as well as periodic variations in the plate material itself. Platonic crystals have been shown to exhibit a number of behaviours similar to photonic crystals, including negative refraction, beam splitting, and wave trapping. They may also feature large stopbands where wave propagation is not possible through the crystal, as well as cloaking near degenerate band surfaces. Investigations into defective platonic crystals has also revealed strong energy localization effects within the defects, with high quality factors.
Experimental work in platonics to date has shown promising results in cloaking and flat lens focusing of flexural wave energy.
# Plaza de San Francisco de Asís

Plaza de San Francisco de Asís (Saint Francis of Assisi Square) is a public square in the district of Old Havana, Havana, Cuba.

## History

Founded on 2 June 1628, this plaza is one of the oldest squares in Havana. It is named after the nearby Convento de San Francisco de Asís, a Franciscan convent built between 1575 and 1591. A market was historically held in this square, which was eventually moved to the Plaza Vieja as the monks from the church complained of the noise.
The Lonja del Comercio building on the north side of the square opened in 1909. The iconic Fuente de los Leones, built by Italian sculptor Giuseppe Gaggini, was installed in 1836.
In 1761, José Martín Félix de Arrate, Mayor of Havana, considered the Plaza to be the best place in the city. Both the city hall (casas capitulares), police house, jailhouse and customs office faced the Plaza at the time.

## Present Day

Plaza de San Francisco de Asís and adjacent buildings such as the Lonja del Comercio underwent a restoration in the 1990s. In current times, it is a tourism hub with numerous restaurants. It is in close proximity to the Sierra Maestra cruise ship terminal.
