# Murdoch Mackay

Murdoch Mackay (April 30, 1884 – December 18, 1962) was a Manitoba politician. He led the Manitoba Liberal Party from 1931 to 1932, and brought the party into an alliance with John Bracken's Progressives.

## Biography

Mackay was born on Boularderie Island, Nova Scotia, the son of John Mackay and Anna MacAulay. He subsequently moved to Manitoba, and was elected to the provincial legislature in the general election of 1927. A Liberal, Mackay defeated Progressive incumbent Clifford Barclay by 18 votes in the riding of Springfield.
The provincial Liberals fared poorly in this election, winning only seven seats in a 55-member legislature. Party leader Hugh Robson stepped down in 1930. After a brief period in which James Breakey led the parliamentary caucus, Mackay was chosen over Fred C. Hamilton as party leader in 1931.
MacKay brought the Manitoba Liberals into an alliance with the governing Progressives in 1932. By this time, the Liberals and Progressives of Manitoba were already co-operating at the federal level; national Liberal leader William Lyon Mackenzie King wanted the same alliance at the provincial level to prevent a Conservative victory in the next election. The Liberals joined the government in early 1932, and two members of the party were brought into cabinet. Mackay himself was made a Minister without Portfolio on May 27, 1932.
His term in office was brief. The united "Liberal-Progressives" easily defeated the Conservatives in the election, but Mackay was defeated by Barclay (now running as an "Independent Farmer-Labour" candidate) in Springfield. He resigned from cabinet, and left provincial politics. Mackay attempted a comeback in 1945, but lost to CCF candidate George Olive by over one thousand votes.
As well as being a politician, MacKay was known by many as a prominent local physician in the town of Transcona, with a reputation for kindness and a great sense of humour. He graduated from Manitoba Medical School in 1916 and married Ruby Gowland the following year. They had four daughters who all graduated from the University of Manitoba. Throughout his career, MacKay was well known for his compassion - accepting food from patients that could not afford to pay upfront. He remains a community hero and his commitment to the Transcona area was honoured in his 2005 nomination as "The Greatest Transconian".
MacKay died at Saint Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg on December 18, 1962, and was buried at Transcona Cemetery.
MacKay had a great love of learning and, as such, Murdoch MacKay Collegiate, a high school in Winnipeg, was named in his honour in 1964.

# SD radar

The SD radar was an early form of radar developed by the United States Naval Research Laboratory between 1940 and 1941. It was installed on submarines to provide warning of enemy aircraft. Its omnidirectional antenna, however, prevented it from being able to provide bearing information, and it was used as a proximity radar. Its range was directly affected by the aircraft's size and altitude. Large aircraft with an altitude above 1000 feet AGL could be detected between twelve and twenty miles, and small aircraft at the same altitude between eight and fifteen miles, while aircraft flying lower could avoid detection altogether. Another disadvantage was the enemy's ability to use the SD radar signal to locate and target submarines, leading submarine commanders to only use the SD radar intermittently so as not to disclose their location.

## Etymology

The Old Norse word Glaðr translates to English as "glad one", "shining one", or "bright one". It is derived from the adjective Proto-Germanic: *gladaz, meaning "bright", "shining" or "cheerful", and is cognate with modern English "glad".

### Gylfaginning

A similar list of horses is given in Gylfaginning in the Prose Edda:
| Old Norse text | Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur translation |
| Þriðja rót asksins stendr á himni, ok undir þeiri rót er brunnr sá, er mjök er heilagr, er heitir Urðarbrunnr. Þar eiga goðin dómstað sinn. Hvern dag ríða æsir þangat upp um Bifröst. Hon heitir ok ásbrú. Hestar ásanna heita svá: Sleipnir er baztr, hann á Óðinn. Hann hefir átta fætr. Annar er Glaðr, þriði Gyllir, fjórði Glenr, fimmti Skeiðbrimir, sétti Silfrintoppr, sjaundi Sinir, átti Gísl, níundi Falhófnir, tíundi Gulltoppr, ellifti Léttfeti. Baldrs hestr var brenndr með honum | The third root of the Ash stands in heaven; and under that root is the well which is very holy, that is called the Well of Urdr; there the gods hold their tribunal. Each day the Æsir ride thither up over Bifröst, which is also called the Æsir's Bridge. These are the names of the Æsir's steeds: Sleipnir is best, which Odin has; he has eight feet. The second is Gladr, the third Gyllir, the fourth Glenr, the fifth Skeidbrimir, the sixth Silfrintoppr, the seventh Sinir, the eighth Gisl, the ninth Falhófnir, the tenth. Gulltoppr, the eleventh Léttfeti. Baldr's horse was burnt with him |

### Skáldskaparmál

# Choszczewka, Mława County

Choszczewka is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Dzierzgowo, within Mława County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.
# Iota Hydrae

Iota Hydrae (ι Hydrae, abbreviated Iota Hya, ι Hya), formally named Ukdah /ˈʌkdə/, is a star in the constellation of Hydra, about 8° to the north-northwest of Alphard (Alpha Hydrae) and just to the south of the celestial equator. Visible to the naked eye, it is a suspected variable star with an apparent visual magnitude that ranges between 3.87 and 3.91. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 12.39 mas measured during the Hipparcos mission, it is located around 263 light-years from the Sun.

## Nomenclature

ι Hydrae (Latinised to Iota Hydrae) is the star's Bayer designation.
This star along with Tau¹ Hydrae, Tau² Hydrae and 33 Hydrae (A Hydrae), were Ptolemy's Καμπή (Kampē); but Kazwini knew them as عقدة ʽuqdah (or ʽuḳdah) "knot". According to a 1971 NASA memorandum, Ukdah was the name of an asterism of four stars: Tau¹ Hydrae as Uḳdah I, Tau² Hydrae as Uḳdah II, 33 Hydrae as Uḳdah III and Iota Hydrae as Uḳdah IV. In 2016, the IAU organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the name Ukdah for Iota Hydrae on 1 June 2018 and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.
In Chinese, 星宿 (Xīng Sù), meaning Star or asterism, refers to an asterism consisting of ι Hydrae, Alphard, τ$^1$ Hydrae, τ$^2$ Hydrae, 26 Hydrae, 27 Hydrae, HD 82477 and HD 82428. Consequently, ι Hydrae are known as 星宿四 (Xīng Sù sì, English: the Fourth Star of Star).

## Properties

This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K2.5 III. It is a Barium star, which means that, for a giant star, it displays unusually strong absorption lines of singly-ionized barium and strontium. Iota Hydrae has nearly twice the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 30 times the Sun's radius. It is around 2.5 billion years old and is spinning with a leisurely projected rotational velocity of 4.5 km/s. It may be a member of the Wolf 630 moving group of stars that share a common trajectory through space.
# Chertkovo railway station

Chertkovo railway station (Russian: станция Чертково) is a former railway station in Chertkovo, Rostov oblast, Russia. It is 325 km down-line from Rostov-Glavny station and was situated between Zorinovka and Sheptukhovka on the Moscow–Rostov-on-Don line until 2017, when a bypass between Zhuravka and Millerovo was completed. The station is adjacent to the border with Ukraine, just across the tracks from the Ukrainian village of Milove.

## History

The station was established on 14 August 1869 during construction of the south section of the South Eastern Railway near the border between Don Host Oblast and Kharkov Governorate. The station was named for ataman Mikhail Chertkov, who petitioned to construct the railway. The village of Chertkovo was founded due to construction of the railway station.
In 1873 the Chertkovo second-class station had a one-storey stone station building, one passenger and two cargo platforms, locomotive depot for 12 steam locomotives, reservoir for water, two stone and eight wooden constructions, bathhouse, laundry and other warehouses. Buffets, bookstall and newsstand operated at the station. The railway line was fully equipped with the latest technology. Wireless telegraphs of the Markoni Company were used in Chertkovo. In the early 1900s Chertkovo was a small workers' settlement where there were a church, drinking establishment and bunkhouse. At that time construction of a hospital began. Chertkovo had one secondary school and college.
In 1987 the railway line from Chertkovo to Zverevo was transferred from the South Eastern Railway to the North Caucasus Railway, with the new connection between the two railways being just north of Chertkovo station.
The opening ceremony of the bust of Mikhail Chertkov took place at the square front of the station in August 2009. The event was held in conjunction with the 140-year anniversary of Chertkovo.
A 37-kilometre section of the railway line between Chertkovo and Gartmashevka in the Kantemirovsky District of Voronezh Oblast to the north passed through Ukraine's Luhansk Oblast, with Russian Railways leasing the rail infrastructure from a Ukrainian village council. Due to the war in Donbass, Russian Railways wanted to bypass Ukraine to ensure security of passengers and cargo transportation. Construction of a bypass, from Zhuravka in the Kantemirovsky District in the north to Millerovo in the south, began in 2015. It became operational in August 2017. It has 122.5 km double-track, 25 kV 50 Hz, maximum speed of 160 km/h, cost 56 billion RUB. On 11 December 2017, Russian Railways switched all long-distance trains to the new line to bypass Ukraine and, consequently, Chertkovo. In 2018 local services were also terminated and the station closed in 2019.

## Services

Until the Russo-Ukrainian War Chertkovo was a station for long-distance and suburban trains operated by Russian Railways. The most common destinations were: Rostov-on-Don, Moscow, Adler, Novorossiysk, Anapa, Kislovodsk, Yeysk, Saint Petersburg, Stavropol, Sukhumi, Vladikavkaz. The average stopping time of passenger trains was about 2 minutes.
# Harold Kaplan (architect)

Harold Kaplan (10 September 1895 – 1 April 1973) was a Canadian architect.

## Biography

Born 10 September 1895, in Bucharest, Romania, he moved to London at the age of three with his widowed mother, Tillie Hohan. In 1902, they moved to Toronto, and then his mother married Frank Kaplan. During his teenage years, he stayed for a while in Philadelphia with one of his relatives. After returning to Toronto, Kaplan went to Toronto Technical School where he studied architecture and building construction. He married Dorothy Spain in 1923. In 1919–20, he worked at Page & Warrington. In 1922, he founded Kaplan & Sprachman with Abraham Sprachman, which is mostly recognized for designing many movie theaters across Canada from the 1920s to the 1950s, and also for designing synagogues and buildings for the Jewish communities.
His work was part of the architecture event in the art competition at the 1948 Summer Olympics. The Primrose Club commissioned Kaplan & Sprachman for its new building in Toronto in 1959. The firm designed the historic Anshei Minsk Synagogue, the Shaarei Shomayim synagogue, both in Toronto, Beth Israel Synagogue in Edmonton, Beth Israel in Vancouver, Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care, the new Mount Sinai Hospital, Oakdale Golf & Country Club and numerous other synagogues and institutions throughout the country.
Kaplan & Sprachman designed the Eglinton Theatre in Toronto and the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver which were both designated National Historic Sites by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. Overall, they designed more than 70 theaters which were built across Canada between the late 1920s and the early 1950s.
