# Hanley bus station

Hanley bus station is a bus station in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent.

## History

Hanley bus station was constructed in the 1970s. The current bus station was built at a cost of £15 million on the site of the John Street car park, across the road from the original bus station. Following two years of construction, it opened on 26 March 2013.

## Future

The bus station is set to be refurbished in a £1.4 million project, which will see a new vehicular entrance created.

## Design

The building was designed by Grimshaw Architects and has a curved aluminium-clad roof. The bus station has 22 stances.
# Perth bus station

Perth bus station is located on Leonard Street in Perth, Scotland. It is owned by Perth and Kinross Council and is situated approximately 800 metres from the city centre, and 100 metres from Perth railway station. The station is mostly used for out-of-town routes, while routes in and around Perth originate and terminate on Mill Street.

## History
### Pomarium Street

The middle section of Pomarium Street, which looped off and back onto Leonard Street, was demolished in the 1950s to make way for the bus station and adjacent flats. Pomarium recalls the site of the orchard of Perth Charterhouse which seems to have survived into the 18th century. Part of Pomarium Street still exists today.

### Ticket office

The ticket office, formerly staffed by Scottish Citylink personnel, closed on 28 June 2019. At the time, the company stated this was due to most services now stopping at Broxden Interchange rather than the bus station, and that more people are purchasing tickets online.

## Amenities

A McColl's convenience store formerly occupied part of the premises. After surviving the 2019 closures endured by two of the city's four branches, it too closed shortly afterwards. The Bus'Y'Bite café has been part of the premises since the late 1990s.

## Services

The station sees services operated by Stagecoach, Scottish Citylink, and Docherty's Midland Coaches. Some buses, including the X7 Coastrider, do not stop at the bus station and instead terminate at Perth Royal Infirmary.
The bus station, which has ten stands, is located on Leonard Street, part of the A989, providing easy outlets to the west via the Glasgow Road (A93), which leads to Broxden Interchange.

## Future

Proposals were first considered in 2004 to redevelop the bus station, relocating it to create a transport interchange with the nearby railway station. In 2017, talks were ongoing between the council, Abellio ScotRail, and Network Rail on redeveloping the bus and railway stations. The following year, letters from the council to local businesses in the area again suggested that the station may close for redevelopment.
In 2023, around £50 million of funding was secured to improve Perth's railway station and bus station.

# Pinoy step

Pinoy step is a basketball move in which an offensive player picks up their dribble, quickly simulates taking a shot the while going towards the basket then proceeds to make an actual shot with the last remaining legal step. It is intended to allow the ball handler to get past a defender and take a more advantageous shot.

## Background

Some media attribute the move to basketball players in the Philippines. Fans attribute the combination of gather step and pump fake as the Filipino version of Euro step before going airborne. It can be especially effective when a shorter ball handler takes on a taller defender. As a result, the phrase "Pinoy step" was given with the first word being the colloquial demonym for Filipinos. Anecdotal reports give credit to Kiefer Ravena and Ricci Rivero for popularizing it. In a 2023 SB Nation article, Lucas Kaplan wrote Ravena is "credited as one of the pioneers of the move, and it's been in his bag since high school," adding "the Pinoy is unmistakably the product of amateur and professional ballers in the Philippines over the past decade."
NBA players Mikal Bridges, Tyrese Haliburton and Zach LaVine frequently use the ball fake on the move with success.
# Jamia Mosque (Kenya)

Jamia Mosque is a mosque located on Banda Street, Nairobi, Kenya in the Central Business District. Jamia Mosque is an important center of Islamic practice in the East and Central African region. As a landmark and heritage site at the heart of Nairobi’s CBD, Jamia Mosque-Nairobi displays an iconic image and an architectural masterpiece. Founded by Syed Maulana Abdullah Shah in the year 1902 and constructed between 1925 and 1933, Jamia Mosque became the center of Muslim religious organization throughout the pre-independent and independent years.
The mosque plays a central role to Nairobi’s large Muslim population as a location of choice for Muslims for the Friday prayers. Throughout the 90s and the 21st century Jamia has become the place where Muslim religious, political and opinion leaders meet to discuss the affairs of the ummah. In many ways Jamia Mosque’s story echoes the story of Islam in Kenya; a story of determination for identity within a mosaic of multiplicity. Jamia Mosque was extended into a modern wing in 1998 and currently houses a large modern library facility, a Multi-Purpose Hall, a weekly newsletter (The Friday Bulletin) and a television station- Horizon TV. Our Vocational College –Jamia Training institute (JTI) previously situated at Jamia mosque complex was moved to Jamia Towers to provide additional office space for Jamia mosque and Horizon TV marketing.
The Jamia Mosque retains a classic Arabic Islamic architectural style with extensive use of marble and inscriptions from the Quran, and the traditional row of shops (including a clinic and pharmacy) down one side to provide rental income for its upkeep. It is recognisable by its three silver domes, and twin minarets. It contains a library and a training institute where one can learn Arabic, introductory computing and cloth making.

# Darkness Falls from the Air

Darkness Falls from the Air is a 1942 novel by the British writer Nigel Balchin. It was inspired by Balchin's time working at the Ministry of Food and was both a critical and commercial success.

## Plot

Bill Sarratt, the novel's narrator, is a war-time volunteer civil servant who is struggling during the London Blitz to establish efficient working practices in his department of the Ministry. A competent planner, Sarratt find himself increasingly frustrated that his every initiative is being blocked by his boss, Lennox, who is in the pocket of big business. Lennox avoids approving anything that will inconvenience his business friends.
Sarratt's wife, Marcia, is in a relationship with Stephen Ryle, an artistic poseur. While not approving, Sarratt does not feel that he has the right to constrain his wife's choices, and he takes no action, trusting that her infatuation will sooner or later burn itself out. Marcia is committed to her marriage and she attempts to finish with Stephen several times, but is unable to resist his emotional outbursts and the feelings of guilt they create in her. Unable to take any more, Sarratt gives his wife an ultimatum: either she drops Stephen immediately, or he will leave.
Sarratt has for months been working on a scheme to improve the reliability of wartime industrial output, and it appears that for once, due to the approval of the government minister, Lennox has been unable to block it. However, at the very end of the meeting set up to approve enforcement, the minister allows himself to be persuaded that the scheme should be purely voluntary, thereby undermining its entire purpose.
Sarratt leaves the meeting in despair, and resolves to resign from his post. As he waits for Marcia to join him in a West End restaurant, he learns that there is an air raid on the East End, where Marcia is working as a volunteer medical orderly. He persuades a taxi driver to take him there, and discovers that her building has been hit. Scrambling on hands and knees through the rubble, he finds his wife dying, pinned beneath a fallen beam.
Dazed, Sarratt returns home. Feeling impelled to tell Stephen of Marcia's death, he walks to Stephen's flat. The place is full of gas and he is just in time to prevent Stephen's attempted suicide. He walks on through the darkened streets of London as incendiaries fall about him.
