In January 1983 Walker returned to England when he joined Division Four side Crewe Alexandra on non-contract terms. The following summer saw him move back to the north-east with Sunderland, but his only first-team outing was a substitute appearance against Watford at Roker Park. He spent time on loan with Blackpool in the closing stages of the 1983–84 season.
Walker moved to Chester City in July 1984, making his debut on the opening day of the new season against Scunthorpe United. He went on to score a derby winner from the penalty spot against Wrexham and a hat-trick via his left foot, right foot and head in a 4–4 draw against Swindon Town in May 1985. At the end of the campaign he opted to move to fellow Division Four side Hartlepool United, where he played for two years.

# Roger Denzer

Roger "Peaceful Valley" Denzer (October 5, 1871 – September 18, 1949) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball. He played for the Chicago Colts and New York Giants around the turn of the 20th century. Denzer received his nickname from the play Peaceful Valley because he resembled one of its actors, Sol Smith Russell.

## Biography

Denzer was born in Le Sueur, Minnesota, in 1871. He started his professional career with the St. Paul Apostles in 1895, as an outfielder. The following season, he converted to pitching and led the Western League with 200 strikeouts.
In 1897, Denzer had a brief trial with the National League's Chicago Colts but went just 2–8. He then returned to the Western League for the rest of the campaign and went 11–7 with a 1.62 earned run average. In 1898, he had likely the best season of his career, going 33–10 in 46 games and 385 innings pitched and leading the league in wins.
In 1900, Denzer joined the Chicago White Stockings (now known as the White Sox) of the American League, which would declare itself a major league the following year. He was the ace of the White Stockings pitching staff, winning 20 games and losing just 10. On April 22, he earned the first win in franchise history. Chicago won the pennant that year.
Denzer jumped to the NL's New York Giants during the offseason. He pitched decently for them in 1901 but went just 2–6. In 1902, he pitched 21 innings for the Louisville Colonels of the American Association, and that was where he finished his professional career.
Afterwards, Denzer retired to his farm near LeSueur and pitched in local semi-professional games. He pitched for a team in Belle Plaine, Minnesota, in 1905.
Denzer died in 1949, at the age of 77, and was buried in Mound Cemetery in Le Sueur.

# 5-Nitrovanillin

5-Nitrovanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde) is a derivative of vanillin in which the hydrogen ortho- to the hydroxy group is substituted by a nitro group. Because it contains many reactive functional groups – in addition to the nitro group, a hydroxyl group, a methoxy group and an aldehyde group are present – 5-nitrovanillin is suitable as a starting material for the synthesis of phenethylamines, for coenzyme Q and for the inhibitors of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT inhibitors) that are effective against Parkinson's disease.

## Properties

5-Nitrovanillin is a yellow crystalline solid with a characteristic odor. It is sparingly soluble in water, readily soluble in alkali solutions on heating and in methanol. When recrystallized from acetic acid, the substance precipitates as pale yellow plate-like crystals, and from ethanol as needle-like crystals.

## Preparation

5-Nitrovanillin is obtained upon nitration of vanillin with concentrated nitric acid in glacial acetic acid with a 75% yield.
With acetyl nitrate as the nitrating agent, yields of up to 88% are obtained in the presence of silica gel.

## Uses

5-Nitrovanillin was patented as a yellow hair dye in combination with other nitrobenzene dyes for consistent blonde to brown shades.
Because of the low solubility of 5-nitrovanillin in water, the potassium salt, which is readily soluble in water, is used for methylation. It is reacted with dimethyl sulfate to form 3,4-dimethoxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde (5-nitroveratraldehyde) in 91% yield.
In early work on psychoactive phenethylamines, 3,4-dimethoxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde was condensed with nitromethane in a Knoevenagel reaction to give the corresponding nitrostyrene, which is reduced electrochemically to yield the corresponding β-phenylethylamine.
An important intermediate for the chemical synthesis of coenzyme Q is 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone, which is accessible in a four-step synthesis from 5-nitrovanillin via 3,4-dimethoxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde. Demethylation of 5-nitrovanillin by ether cleavage using hydrobromic acid or using lithium hydroxide and thiophenol in NMP leads to 3,4-dihydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde (DHNB), which is being discussed as an active ingredient for the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout.
3,4-Dihydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde (DHNB) has gained greater importance as a precursor for the synthesis of the COMT inhibitor entacapone for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. A more recent patent application describes a synthetic route for the active ingredient opicapone, which has been approved in the EU since 2016, in which 5-nitrovanilline is initially reacted directly with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in DMSO to form the corresponding nitrile.
The nitrile obtained reacts with a hydroxamic acid chloride to give a 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazole as a further intermediate.
With hydrazides, the aldehyde 5-nitrovanillin forms hydrazones that can be cyclized with Chloramine-T to give substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles.

## Biography
### Start in Australia (2016-2018)

Originally from South Africa, Hewat spent his formative years there before relocating to Queensland, Australia. His mother is Australian, and his father is of English origin from South Africa.
His rugby journey began at St Joseph's College, Nudgee, where he honed his skills in junior rugby. Excelling in the local scene, he joined the North Brisbane Rugby Club, showcasing both skill and leadership.
In 2016, he joined the Queensland Reds, competing in Super Rugby. Under coach Nick Stiles, he made his debut for the Reds, aiming to bring fresh energy to the team after a series of disappointing performances.
Between 2016 and 2018, he played both in Super Rugby with the Queensland Reds (only featuring in one match) and with Brisbane City in the National Rugby Championship, playing six matches.
He played sparingly due to two major injuries, undergoing a double shoulder operation that kept him off the field for 9 months. Upon his return, during his first training session, he suffered a knee ligament injury, sidelining him for another 9 months. These setbacks led to him falling out of favor with the Queensland Reds coach.
As he was set to join England, his agent informed him of an opportunity to become a JIFF (player developed through the French system) in France.
Choosing between the academies of Stade Toulousain and Stade Aurillacois, he opted for the latter and made his way to Cantal. His best friend, Emmanuel Meafou chose Toulouse.

### Arrival in France (since 2018)

His French journey began with Stade Aurillacois in the 2018-2019 season. While he initially played with the U20 team, he quickly transitioned to the professional squad. Despite a slow start, he became a key player for Stade Aurillacois in subsequent seasons. In the summer of 2021, he made another significant move, signing with Section Paloise in the Top 14.
Hewat's adaptation to the French rugby style took time, but by the 2022-2023 season, he had become a prominent figure in the forward pack for Section Paloise. His contributions led to a contract extension until June 2026. Notably, in January 2023, his defensive prowess was highlighted with a tackle success rate of 96%, the highest in the Top 14.

### National Team

Hewat's leadership qualities were evident early in his career as he captained the Australian Schoolboys rugby union team. In 2017, he played a significant role in the World Rugby U20 Championship with the Australia national under-20 rugby union team, where he served as captain, playing in 5 matches and scoring 1 try.
