# Albert H. Henderson

Albert Homer Henderson (April 1, 1893 – October 11, 1951) was an American lawyer, politician, and judge from New York.

## Life

Henderson was born on April 1, 1893, in the Bronx, New York. His father was Albert C. Henderson, and his mother was an actress whose stage name was Lilly Van Clief.

In May 1917, during World War I, he entered the officers' training camp in Plattsburgh. He was commissioned in the Infantry and later transferred to the Air Service. He was honorably discharged from the Air Service in December 1918 with the rank of first lieutenant, air service aeronautics. He then returned to his law practice and became a member of the local school board.
In 1919, Henderson was elected to the New York State Assembly as a Democrat, representing the Bronx County 1st District. He served in the Assembly in 1920 and 1921.

# Aquation

Aquation is the chemical reaction involving "incorporation of one or more integral molecules of water" with or without displacement of other atoms or groups. The term is typically employed to refer to reactions of metal complexes where an anion is displaced by water. For example, bromopentaamminecobalt(III) undergoes the following aquation reaction to give a metal aquo complex:
    [Co(NH$_3$)$_5$Br]$^{2+}$ + H$_2$O → [Co(NH$_3$)$_5$(H$_2$O)]$^{3+}$ + Br$^−$
This aquation reaction is catalyzed both by acid and by base. Acid catalysis involves protonation of the bromide, converting it to a better leaving group. Base hydrolysis proceeds by the S$_N$1cB mechanism, which begins with deprotonation of an ammonia ligand.

# John Hadley

John Hadley (16 April 1682 – 14 February 1744) was an English mathematician, and laid claim to the invention of the octant, two years after Thomas Godfrey claimed the same.

## Biography

He was born in Bloomsbury, London the eldest son of George Hadley of Osidge, East Barnet, Hertfordshire and his wife Katherine FitzJames. His younger brother George Hadley became a noted meteorologist.
In 1717 John became a member (and later vice-president) of the Royal Society of London. In 1729 he inherited his father's East Barnet estate.
He died in East Barnet in 1744 and is buried in the local churchyard with other members of his family. He had married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Hodges, FRS (former Attorney General of Barbados) and had one child, a son and heir John, born in 1738.

## Work

In 1730 Hadley invented the reflecting octant, which could be used to measure the altitude of the sun or other celestial objects above the horizon at sea. A mobile arm carrying a mirror and pivoting on a graduated arc provides a reflected image of the celestial body overlapping the image of the horizon, which is observed directly. If the position of the object on the sky and the time of the observation are known, it is easy for the user to calculate his own latitude. The octant proved extremely valuable for navigation and displaced the use of other instruments such as the Davis quadrant. An American, Thomas Godfrey, independently invented the octant at approximately the same time.
Hadley also developed ways to make precision aspheric and parabolic objective mirrors for reflecting telescopes. In 1721 he showed the first parabolic Newtonian telescope to the Royal Society. This Newtonian, with a 6-inch-diameter (150 mm) primary mirror, compared favorably with the large aerial refracting telescopes of the day. He also made Gregorian telescopes with accurately shaped mirrors.

## Honors

Mons Hadley and Rima Hadley on the Moon are named after him. The Oasis Trust Academy in Ponders End in north London is called Oasis Academy Hadley in his honour.
