After a couple of matches against Victoria during the 1933-34 season, he wasn’t chosen for Tasmania again until early January 1936 when Victoria visited Hobart. His left-arm spin bowling was quite effective in both innings, returning figures of three for 42 off 18 overs and two for 24 off seven overs respectively. But it was with the bat he had most dramatic effect on the outcome, Tasmania winning by one wicket “…When the last batsman, G.A. Combes, came to the crease eight runs were needed in 8 minutes. When Zachariah commenced the final over, 5 runs were needed. Four singles were taken from the first six deliveries, Combes then hitting the seventh ball to the square leg boundary to give Tasmania victory by the slenderist margin with one ball to spare.”

He worked in the country for two years after graduating, and after his return to Adelaide in 1934 began playing for Prospect in the local grade cricket competition, as an opening batsman. In December 1937, Mueller was selected to make his state debut, playing against Western Australia at Adelaide Oval. The match had first-class status, but was not part of the Sheffield Shield, as Western Australia had not yet been admitted to that competition. On debut, Mueller opened alongside his Prospect teammate, wicket-keeper Charlie Walker, and made 56 in the first innings. This was only bettered by the century scored by Don Bradman, the captain both of South Australia and the Australian national side.
Mueller's second and final first-class match was a Sheffield Shield fixture against Victoria towards the end of the season, in February 1938. He scored only a single run in the first innings, out leg before wicket to Test bowler Morris Sievers, but in the second innings scored 37 out of a 95-run opening stand with his new partner, Richard Whitington. Despite that performance and his earlier half-century, Mueller was omitted from the state squad for the opening match of the 1938–39 season, against New South Wales. He never again played at state level, but did serve as coach of Prospect for a period, starting in the 1953–54 season. During the Second World War, Mueller served with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). He had reached the rank of corporal by the end of the war, at which time he was stationed at the No. 1 Aircraft Depot in Victoria. Mueller died in Adelaide in July 1984, aged 69.

# Keith Linney

Charles Keith Linney (26 August 1912 – 12 October 1992) played first-class cricket for Somerset from 1931 to 1937. He was born in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia and died in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. His father George, who was born in Guildford, Surrey and died in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, played first-class cricket in one match for Tasmania.
Linney was a left-handed middle or lower order batsman and an occasional left-arm medium pace bowler. Linney had only one season for regular cricket as a professional player, 1931, when he appeared in 19 matches for Somerset and scored 395 first-class runs at an average of 17.17. His one score of more than 50 was an innings of 60 against Surrey at Taunton. In Somerset's mobile and amateur-dominated batting line-up of the 1930s, Linney's next home match after this success saw him batting at No 10 in the order. Wisden Cricketers' Almanack for 1932 noted that Linney played some "bright innings". But after this one season he played only occasionally: seven matches in 1932, one in 1934 and five in 1937, and in none of these matches did he achieve any notable success.
# Harold Cotton (cricketer)

Harold Norman Jack Cotton (3 December 1914 – 6 April 1966) was an Australian cricketer who represented South Australia in first-class cricket from the late 1930s to the early 1940s, taking 76 wickets in 25 matches as a fast bowler. He is primarily known for twice being no-balled by Andrew Barlow for throwing.
Cotton was a genuinely fast bowler. He made his first-class debut against Tasmania at the Adelaide Oval in March 1936 in the match where Don Bradman set the Adelaide Oval first-class record of 369. He played his first two matches under the Test umpires Jack Scott and Arthur Richardson, who did not penalise his bowling action. The following season, 1936–37, when he was playing against Victoria at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the Sheffield Shield, Cotton was once no-balled for throwing by Barlow, who was standing at square leg. It was Cotton's third match at first-class level.
Cotton took his best innings haul of 5/49 in a match against Queensland at the Gabba in November 1939. He had made more than half of his appearances at his first class career and was passed many times by Scott and fellow Test umpire George Borwick before he again crossed paths with Barlow at the MCG in December 1940 in another match against Victoria. Barlow called him again. Cotton's last first-class match was against New South Wales in February 1941.
Cotton was never no-balled for throwing in district cricket in Adelaide, so the two no-balls called by Barlow were the only two made against him for throwing. Cotton's no-balling spanned four years, the longest span of any bowler in senior cricket in Australia.
During the Second World War Cotton served in the Australian Army from January 1942 to November 1945. A knee injury forced Cotton's retirement from cricket in December 1945.

# Medina Haram Piazza

Medina Haram Piazza Shading Umbrellas or Al-Masjid An-Nabawi Umbrellas are convertible umbrellas erected at the piazza of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina, Saudi Arabia. The shade of each umbrella is extended in the four corners, with a total area covered of 143,000 square meters. These umbrellas are aimed to protect worshipers from the heat of the sun during prayer, as well as from the risk of slipping and falling in the event of rain. Similar structures are built at the square of the mosques worldwide. At Al-Masjid An-Nabawi, there are a total of 250 umbrellas.

## Project

The concept was originally created by the King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, who ordered the construction of umbrellas for the squares of the mosque, which was overseen by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. The project was completed in August 2010, which initially included the construction of 182 umbrellas aligning the pillars of the mosques at the square, and later 68 umbrellas were added in the eastern square, totaling 250 umbrellas. The project cost was 4.7 billion riyals.

## Design

The Saudi Binladin Group has contracted the project's structural planning with the German architectural company Liebherr. From the beginning of the planning, the PTFE fabric was needed to meet the exceptional requirements, as any other fabric does not provide full protection from ultraviolet. The fabric is characterized by high tensile strength, wind strength, and its elasticity, chromatic stability, fire resistance, effective shading and suitable light penetration. The highly durable PTFE white fabric was developed by SEFAR Architecture specifically for the project. The shade is painted in white color due to the intensity of light, and because strong permeability can dazzle people under the umbrella, a sandy texture was chosen instead. In addition, the underside of the umbrellas was decorated with oriental motifs made of blue PTFE stripes.

## Use of advanced composites

Each single open umbrella structure of 25 by 25 metres (82 ft × 82 ft) spans an area of 625 square metres (6,730 sq ft). As the components for each umbrella are so large and also have to withstand potentially extreme climatic conditions, the cladding needed to be made from advanced composites. Premier Composite Technologies LLC was commissioned to build and install the mosaic tiled, external claddings for all 250 units of foldable umbrellas. The arm claddings and cladding attachments were built from a lightweight composite sandwich structure of glass fibre epoxy resin laminate, providing high torsional stiffness. They were then fixed to the flexible umbrella arm systems. When closed, the arms cover the membrane while additional claddings on top of the arms form a prismatic casing to protect the folded Teflon membrane.

# Mausoleums of Aghbil

Mausoleums of Aghbil (Azerbaijani: Ağbil türbələri), Pirs of Aghbil (Azerbaijani: Ağbil pirləri) or Mausoleum of Sheikh Maziyyad (Azerbaijani: Şeyx Məziyyəd türbəsi), are a series of three mausoleums located in Aghbil's old cemetery in Guba, Azerbaijan.

## Mausoleum of Shah Murad

The square-shaped mausoleum formed a small portal site with its antes. On the inside, the mausoleum was 2.7x2.7 meters in diameter. An inscription of size 1.43x48, dates to 940 in Hijri calendar (1553 CE in Gregorian calendar), offers the name of Shah Murad, its occupant. It was completely destroyed.

## Octagonal mausoleum

Another, surviving, mausoleum is octagonal in shape. The mausoleum is of interest in the study of northern and southern Azerbaijani mausoleums, since it too was built in the 16th century, a period with few surviving monuments.
Its brick walls were erected on top of a small podium. Its wall and base were the same size. Therefore, the scope of the podium and main foundation differ from each other only in terms of material. This is visible in some Iranian Azerbaijani mausoleums that were made of brick.
One of its peculiar features is that it has a square floor plan of 2.8x2.8 meters on the inside, although it is octagonal on the outside. The entrance is on the southern side. On the other three sides, smaller niches of 76x50 centimeters were built. The mausoleum is built on ground-level and is 'grave-typed', which means that it has no proper crypt.
The transition from square foundation to dome cover was carried out through sails in the form of simple stalactites. It is characterized by a mixture of brick and stone-masonry for the outer walls, which is not found in other mausoleums spread over Shirvan. In addition to the podium, stones were used for the lower part of the entrance. A 53x46 cm-sized stone inscription on top of the nine-sided ceiling was placed above the entrance.
German orientalist Johannes Albrecht Bernhard Dorn, who studied these mausoleums in the 19th century, copied the inscription written. The translation of an inscription formed of three lines in Arabic is as follows:
"O my slaves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins, for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. This building was built for the son of the sultan, Sultan Khalilullah, – may Allah forever immortalize his state and happiness – Shah Murad Sheikh Mazyad Khaja Sheikh Bayazid – may Allah forgive him and all the believers – on the year of nine hundred and forty-four (1533–1534)."

## Quadrangular mausoleum

The third mausoleum is small. The shortest side of the rectangular plan (2.80x2.62 metres) was extended to 1.2 metres in the form of antlers. The small arch was coated with beak. It is reminiscent of a small residential building.
