# HMS Kangaroo (1900)

HMS Kangaroo was a B-class torpedo boat destroyer of the British Royal Navy. She served with the Dover Patrol in the First World War.

## Construction and design

Kangaroo was laid down by Palmers Shipbuilding and Iron Company at Jarrow-on-Tyne as Yard Number 787 on 29 December 1899 with work starting on speculation (i.e. without a specific order), but was purchased for the Royal Navy as part of the 1900–1901 shipbuilding programme. She was launched on 8 September 1900 and completed in July 1901.
Kangaroo was of similar design to HMS Peterel, Myrmidon and Syren, three "Thirty-Knotter" destroyers built by Palmers under the 1899–1900 programme. Like these ships, she was powered by triple-expansion steam engines fed by four Reed boilers and driving two propeller shafts. Four funnels were fitted, with the two middle funnels very closely spaced. The machinery was rated at 6,200 indicated horsepower (4,600 kW), sufficient to propel the ship at her contract speed of 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph).
Gun armament consisted of a single QF 12-pounder 12 cwt (3 in (76 mm) calibre) gun forward on a platform on the ship's conning tower together with five 6-pounder guns. Two 18-inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes completed the ship's armament.

## Service

Kangaroo was commissioned in August 1901 by Lieutenant Charles Edward Whately Pyddoke for service on the Mediterranean Station. She visited Lemnos in August 1902, and the following month was part of a squadron visiting Nauplia and Souda Bay at Crete. She returned to the United Kingdom in 1905. Apart from this tour in the Mediterranean, Kangaroo spent most of her duty time in home waters. In 1906 Kangaroo was part of the First Destroyer Division. She was part of the Fourth Destroyer Flotilla at Portsmouth between 1910 and 1912, and then joined the Sixth Destroyer Flotilla.
Kangaroo remained part of the Sixth Destroyer Flotilla, based at Dover for the duration of the First World War.
HMS Kangaroo was finally sold for scrap to M. Yates on 23 February 1920, but was resold to Thos. W. Ward and broken up at Milford Haven.

# Donald A. B. Lindberg

Donald Allen Bror Lindberg (September 21, 1933 – August 17, 2019) was the Director of the United States National Library of Medicine from 1984 until his retirement in 2015. He was known for his work in medical computing, especially the development of PubMed. He won the 1997 Morris F. Collen Award from the American College of Medical Informatics.

## Biography

Lindberg grew up in Brooklyn. He graduated from the Poly Prep Country Day School. He went on to graduate from Amherst College in applied mathematics magna cum laude in 1954. He received his M.D. from Columbia University in 1958. Between 1958 and 1960, he completed an internship and residency in pathology at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center.
In 1960 he joined the University of Missouri becoming a faculty member at the University of Missouri School of Medicine where he developed a distinguished career, pioneering health care applications of computer technology and informatics for medicine.
He played a valuable role in establishing the American Medical Informatics Association and served as founding president.
The NIH's in memoriam letter recognized Dr. Lindberg for his "notable global contributions to information and computer science activities for information used in medical diagnosis, artificial intelligence, and educational programs, in the process fundamentally changing the way biomedical information is collected, shared, and analyzed. He will be remembered for his outstanding leadership, his vision and passion for transforming access to medical information, and as a civil servant who was committed to excellence, transparency, integrity, and public trust."
Lindberg died on August 17, 2019.
# Centered decagonal number

A centered decagonal number is a centered figurate number that represents a decagon with a dot in the center and all other dots surrounding the center dot in successive decagonal layers. The centered decagonal number for n is given by the formula
    $5n^{2}-5n+1\,$
Thus, the first few centered decagonal numbers are
    1, 11, 31, 61, 101, 151, 211, 281, 361, 451, 551, 661, 781, 911, 1051, ... (sequence A062786 in the OEIS)
Like any other centered k-gonal number, the nth centered decagonal number can be reckoned by multiplying the (n − 1)th triangular number by k, 10 in this case, then adding 1. As a consequence of performing the calculation in base 10, the centered decagonal numbers can be obtained by simply adding a 1 to the right of each triangular number. Therefore, all centered decagonal numbers are odd and in base 10 always end in 1.
Another consequence of this relation to triangular numbers is the simple recurrence relation for centered decagonal numbers:
    $CD_{n}=CD_{n-1}+10n,$
where
    $CD_{0}=1.$

## Relation to other sequences

* N is a Centered decagonal number iff 20N + 5 is a Square number.

## Generating Function

The generating function of the centered decagonal number is ${\frac {x*(1+8x+x^{2})}{(1-x)^{3}}}$

## Continued fraction forms

${\sqrt {5CD_{n}}}$ has the simple continued fraction [5n-3;{2,2n-2,2,10n-6}].
# William Lacon

William Lacon (ca. 1540 – before 1609), of Willey, Shropshire, was an English politician.
Lacon was a Member of Parliament for Much Wenlock in 1571 and 1597.
# Johannes Lauritsson

Johannes Lauritsson (c. 1540 – c. 1620) was a wealthy Norwegian landowner. Through marriage, he was associated with the prominent Galte family of Jondal in Hardanger.

## Plot and arrest

He is mentioned as living at Valen (Valo) in Fjelberg in Kvinnherad from 1563 to 1578. Around 1567, during the Northern Seven Years' War (1563-1570), Lauritsson joined the adventurer Enno Brandrøk in Sweden in his scheme to aggravate King Frederick II of Denmark-Norway. Lauritsson was after some time sent back to Norway with a letter for the nobility, describing great hostilities and suggesting they should kill as many Danes as possible. Due to this, Lauritsson was captured and sentenced to be executed. However he was set free after paying 100 daler. This was probably due to Enno's sister Anna Tronds.

## Later life

Lauritsson is not mentioned again after his return from Sweden until 1578, when he was trustee for his mother in the case against the brothers Sebjørn and Tore Toresson. At this time he still lived at the farm Valen. He was married around 1583–85 to Herborg Torbjørnsdatter Sandven (c. 1565–1633) of Sandven in Kvam. Through this marriage, he received Jondal farm in Hardanger, one of the two farms at Torsnes which she in turn had inherited from her grandfather or great-grandfather Peter Nilsson på Torsnes (c.1450-1530). Lauritsson also inherited land from Guttorm Nilsson. By 1603 he was, together with his wife's brother Olav Torbjørnson Sandven (1560-1637), one of the wealthiest landowners in Hardanger and Sunnhordland. Lauritsson was juror in 1590, 1599 and 1610. In 1591, he was the representative from the parish of Strandebarm at the celebration at Oslo for King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway.

# Fear Flatha Ó Gnímh

Fear Flatha Ó Gnímh (c. 1540 – c. 1630) was an Irish poet.

## Life and works

Fear Flatha Ó Gnímh was a member of a hereditary learned family based at Larne, County Antrim, who was bard for the O'Neills of Clannaboy. Known as O'Gnive in English, among his best known poems is "A Niocláis, nocht an gcláirsigh!". His known surviving poems include:
* A Niocláis, nocht an gcláirsigh!
* Beannacht ar anmain Éireann
* Cuimseach sin, a Fhearghail Óig
* Éireannaigh féin fionnLochlannaigh
* Mairg do-chuaidh re ceird ndúthchais
* Tairnig éigse fhuinn Gaoidheal
* Buaidhreadh cóighidh caoi Eanmhná
* Mo-ghéanar cheanglas cumann bainríoghna
Thomas Kinsella stated that: "His poetry, with its close-down of all positive feeling, dates ... to the time of confiscations and plantations in the early seventeenth century". Two of Ó Gnímh's poems, After the Flight of the Earls and The Passing of the Poets, are featured on pages 162–164 of The New Oxford Book of Irish Verse, published in 1986.
A later member of the family, Eoin Ó Gnímh (fl. December 1699), preserved a number of manuscripts compiled or collected by Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh.

# Crayford Engineering

Crayford Engineering (more commonly known simply as Crayford) was an automobile coachbuilder based in Westerham, Kent, England and formed in 1962 by Jeffrey Smith (engineer and designer) and David McMullan, MBE (sales). In the 1970s, a subdivision within the company, called Crayford Auto Developments, Ltd., was established for automobiles. The company specialized in converting European coupés and saloons into convertibles and estates. Notable products included the convertible Mini, BMC 1100/1300 convertible, convertible Corsair, Cabriolet Corsair, Cabriolet Capri, the rare Triumph TR7 Tracer Estate, and a Princess hatchback conversion, a commonly accepted principle for a car that appeared to be, but was not, a hatchback to begin with. Other lesser-known conversions from Crayford included the Tempest, a convertible Volkswagen Scirocco, a Ford Cortina Mk V Convertible, and a Mercedes S-Class Estate. In 1966 the company converted, for the Heinz food company, 57 Wolseley Hornet Mini-derived cars to convertibles, to be given as prizes in a competition. The cars designed and created by Jeffrey Smith were featured in the Olympic Closing Ceremony in London 2012.
Crayford also did a series of Ford convertibles, including the Cortina Mk I, Cortina Mk II, Cortina Cabriolet Mk2 and Corsair Convertible, Corsair Cabriolet and Capri Cabriolet.
A number of Mercedes-Benz W116s were converted to station wagons by Crayford. Most of the conversion body parts and glass used came from the contemporary Ford Granada.

# Controlling law

Controlling law is a legal term used in contracts, trusts, or other legal documents. It refers to the laws of the state which will be relied upon in settling disputes, and is often stated as one of the provisions in an official agreement between two parties. The term is used most frequently in contracts formed between two parties that do not reside in the same state. In such an instance, the authoring party usually includes a clause asserting that any litigation that arises involving the contract must do so under the laws of the author's home state.
Establishing which state will be the venue for litigation is an important part of any contract, and affects nearly every form of industry or commerce that transcends borders. For example, in the United States, many insurance companies choose to locate their headquarters in Iowa or Connecticut where state law is seen as favorable to their interests. This ensures that any legal action taken against the corporation will occur under friendly laws. The same phenomenon occurs in the software industry as well, with the majority of End User License Agreements including an item that establishes the laws of their home state as controlling law.
Controlling law can also have an effect on whether or not a lawsuit begins in the first place. When the plaintiff resides in a different state than the defendant, taking action can be extremely expensive. The costs of hiring an attorney in the area, along with the costs of travel and wages lost from appearing in court, can often discourage them from filing the lawsuit. This effectively limits the number of minor claims brought against the author of the contract, although more serious claims are often brought without regard to the expense.
