# French Crystallographic Association

The French Crystallographic Association (L’Association française de cristallographie or AFC) brings together physicists, chemists and biologists that use crystals and crystallography in their research or develop new crystallographic methods. Originally part of the French Society of Mineralogy, the AFC was founded in 1953 by Hubert Curien and André Guinier.
Today, its main goals are to promote dissemination of knowledge and exchange between French speaking crystallographers from all fields, and in particular to organize or support specialized or interdisciplinary workshops and conferences, educational actions and training courses in the area of crystallography. During the biannual AFC conferences, the AFC awards three PhD prizes in each of its research areas: Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
Claude Sauter, scientist at the Institut de Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire in Strasbourg is the President of the AFC from January 1st, 2022.

# Barleeiidae

Barleeiidae (often also spelled Barleeidae) is a family of small sea snails, micromollusks in the clade Littorinimorpha.
These snails are very abundant and live in sublittoral and intertidal waters on rocky substrates.
The shells are conical to high-spired. Their inner shell layer is chitinous. They are further characterized by a foot with sometimes a posterior mucous gland. Their olfactory organ, the osphradium is enlarged. In some species there are oesophageal pouches present. Their penis is sometimes provided with prostatic tissue. Their oviduct glands show a simple histology.
Few malacologists are currently working on micromollusks. Since they are so small (only a few millimeters in size), they are difficult to study and classify. Therefore, these small mollusks are less well known than the larger ones.

## Genera

Genera in the family Baleeiidae include:
* Ansola Slavoschevskaya, 1975
* Barleeia Clark, 1853 - Barleysnails
* Caelatura Conrad, 1853
* Fictonoba Ponder, 1967
* Ketosia Dos Santos & Absalao, 2006
* Lirobarleeia Ponder, 1983
* Protobarleeia Ponder, 1983
* Pseudodiala Ponder, 1967
* Tropidorissoia Tomlin & Shackleford, 1915

# Sialomorpha

Sialomorpha dominicana, also known as the mold pig, is a panarthropod genus of uncertain affinities discovered in 30-million year old Dominican amber by George Poinar at Oregon State University and Diane R. Nelson at East Tennessee University. It was placed in a new genus and family (Sialomorphidae) unto itself, and appears to represent a new phylum. S. dominicana shares some resemblance to tardigrades and mites. It is about 100 μm long and grew by molting its exoskeleton. It was probably an omnivore, feeding on minute invertebrates and fungi, including mold.

# Rendsburg Loop

The Rendsburg Loop (German: Rendsburger Schleife) is an elevated spiral railway in Rendsburg in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. A 4.5-kilometre elliptical loop, it connects the Rendsburg High Bridge over the Kiel Canal on the Neumünster–Flensburg line to Rendsburg station.

## Construction

The first bridge built over the original Kiel Canal in the 1890s was a swing bridge. In 1913, with the widening of the canal, this was replaced by the Rendsburg High Bridge with a clearance height of 42 metres (138 ft). This met the requirements for bridges across the canal. At the same time, however, it was desirable for trains to be able to use the existing Rendsburg station. This was difficult, because the station was too close to the canal to be connected directly from a bridge over the canal at the minimum height for the bridge. Therefore, at the northern end of the bridge, an elevated railway was built in the form of a loop. Trains from the south to Rendsburg need to make a 360-degree turn before entering the station. Similarly, trains coming from the north after leaving Rendsburg station run over the loop on to the High Bridge to cross the Kiel Canal.

## Schleife district

The district of Rendsburg that developed inside and around the loop is named Schleife after the loop.

## Notable people

* Rainer (Charly) Beutin [de], blues band leader and former resident directly within the loop
# John Percival (rugby league)

The Auckland Rugby League's Referee of the Year award is named the "John Percival Memorial Premiership Referee of the Year" in recognition of Percival's service to the game.

## International career

His first Test match was in 1964 when the French toured New Zealand. Percival controlled 27 internationals between 1964 and 1980, the most for a New Zealand official. This included nine matches in the 1968 and 1975 World Cups. In 1995, Percival was one of the inaugural inductees onto the NZRL's Legends of League. He is an Auckland Rugby League Immortal.

## Later years

Percival was involved on the board of the Auckland Warriors in 1995 while they were owned by the Auckland Rugby League.
# Iris willmottiana

Iris willmottiana is a species in the genus Iris, in the subgenus Scorpiris. It is a bulbous perennial, from Uzbekistan in central Asia. It has green broad leaves, short stems, large flowers in various shades of blue.

## Description

Iris willmottiana is very similar in form to that of Iris caucasica. Sharing similar size, shape, leaf margin but having smaller flowers.
It has thickened roots, and it has broad leaves that are glossy lustrous green, that appear in May. The leaves also have a thin white margin on the edges.
It generally grows to a height of between 15 and 25 cm (6 and 10 in) tall, in late spring or early summer.
It has between 2 and 6 flowers on a short stem.
The large flowers (about 6–7 cm in diameter), come in various shades of blue, from intense cobalt blue, pale lavender-blue, pale purple, to light purple. The flowers are also blotched with white, and flecked with deep lavender-purple. The falls have a large white area and white crest or central ridge with purple marks. The standards are about 1.5 cm long.

## Taxonomy

It was collected from Bokhara in Eastern Turkestan in 1899, by a plant collector on behalf of the Van Tubergen nurseries in Haarlem, the Netherlands. It was then sent to Michael Foster who then first published and described it in the 'Gardeners Chronicle' of London' in 1901.
He named it after Ellen Willmott, a renowned gardener. It is one of 60 or so plants named after her. Mr Foster chose Mrs Willmott due to her interest in irises.
It was later illustrated in colour in Curtis's Botanical Magazine, plate number 8340, in 1912.
Iris willmottiana is now an accepted name by the RHS, and was verified by United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service on 3 October 2014.

## Native

Iris willmottiana is from Central Asia and (the former Russian state), of Kazakhstan. or Uzbekistan. It grows wild in the stony foothills of the Pamir Mountains, at around 2900m above sea level. It has been found in the Aksu Zhabagli, and Karatau Mountains, in Kazakhstan.

## Cultivation

It is hardy to USDA Zone 3.
Although the plant is quite hardy, in the UK, it is better cultivated in a bulb frame. or Alpine house, but has been grown outside.
It prefers to grow in sandy loam, with good drainage and in full sun.
Iris willmottiana, Iris willmottiana 'Alba' and Iris warleyensis (named after Miss Willmotts garden in Essex), are all easier to find in the US than in England.
The plant listed as Iris willmottiana 'Alba', is now thought to be a white form of Iris bucharica.
It can produce hybrids very easy with Iris magnifica and Iris graeberiana.

# Recklinghausen Hauptbahnhof

Recklinghausen Hauptbahnhof is a railway station for the city of Recklinghausen in Germany.

## History

The original station opened in 1870 by the Cologne-Minden Railway Company as part of the construction of the Hamburg-Venlo railway.
During the Second World War, on 1 April 1945, a heavy bombing raid mostly destroyed the station and tracks. It is commemorated by the bunker built next to the station, in which the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen was established in 1950.
An outstanding feature of the architecture of the station building with its glass front is now the clock tower. The new bus station was built in 1998. Up until the renovation of the building, a plaque commemorating the 5000th kilometer of electrified rail of the Deutsche Bundesbahn, was located in the station. The plaque has been missing since the completion of the renovation.
