# Jürgen Straub

Jürgen Straub (born November 3, 1953, in Weitersroda) is a former East German middle-distance runner who specialized in the 1500 metres.
Straub's greatest race won him a silver medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics over 1500 metres representing East Germany, behind Sebastian Coe. In that race Straub surprisingly beat 800 metres champion Steve Ovett into third place. Needing a strategy to compete against the two more favoured and fast-finishing British runners, Straub suddenly accelerated with still 700 meters of the race remaining and then steadily increased his pace to the end, overhauled only by Coe and crossing the finishing line in obvious delight. British athletics coach George Gandy later said "If anyone deserved a gold medal, it was Straub". Straub also finished third at the 1977 and 1979 IAAF World Cups.
Straub set his personal best over 1500 m in Potsdam in 1979 with a time of 3:33.68 min. This result places him sixth on the German all-time performers list, behind Thomas Wessinghage, Harald Hudak, Jens-Peter Herold, Dieter Baumann and Rüdiger Stenzel.
Straub was an excellent 3000 m steeplechaser as well, winning three East German national titles over that distance. He competed for the sports club ASK Vorwärts Potsdam during his active career.

The English garrisoned town and castle was besieged on 8 June 1441 by an army led by King Charles VII of France and a force of heavy artillery led by Jean Bureau. The garrison, led by Sir John Clinton fought the French in fierce fighting in the town and the English were either captured or killed.
King Louis XIV of France took refuge in the castle during the Fronde. The castle was destroyed by Louis XV of France, due to unsanitary conditions.

# Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam

The Unified Buddhist Sangha of Vietnam was founded in 1964 as a Buddhist organization in Vietnam. It was banned by the government of Vietnam in 1981. It continues to operate in exile outside Vietnam.

## History

The Unified Buddhist Sangha of Vietnam was founded in 1964 to unify 11 of the 14 different sects of Vietnamese Buddhism which were present in South Vietnam at the time. The unification also came in response to the Diệm government's increasing hostility against Buddhists during the Vietnam War.
The UBSV's patriarchs Thích Huyền Quang, and Thích Quảng Độ were under house arrest due to their opposition to strict government control of religion, which was established after the communists won the war in 1975.
In 1981, six years after the communist victory, the new government consolidated all Buddhist organizations under the umbrella group Buddhist Sangha of Vietnam and placed it under government control. The Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam and all other non-sanctioned organizations were banned within Vietnam. The UBSV continues to operate in exile outside Vietnam.
# Adam Render

Adam Stanley Renders (surname often recorded as Render; 1822–1881) was a German-American hunter, prospector and trader in southern Africa who is generally recorded as the first European to see the medieval city of Great Zimbabwe, having inadvertently come across the ruins while hunting big game in 1867. He subsequently guided the explorer and geographer Karl Mauch during the first archaeological expedition to the site in 1871, and also discovered prehistoric gold mines in the region.

## Biography

Born in Germany in 1822, Renders lived in the United States from early childhood until about 1842, when he emigrated to Natal in South Africa. He joined the Boer Voortrekkers and allegedly fought with them against the British at the Battle of Boomplaats in 1848. The same year Renders is believed to have settled in Zoutpansberg in the north-east of the Transvaal. He married Willem Andries Petrus Pretorius's daughter Elsje Magdalina Josina Pretorius, and hunted and traded on both sides of the Limpopo River. During one of his big-game hunting trips north of the river in 1867, he inadvertently came across the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, a medieval walled city that had been abandoned for centuries; scholarly consensus records him as the first white man to see this place.
Renders deserted his wife and 4 children (Helena Barendina Norbetta Renders 1863–1889, Jan Adam Renders 1864–?, Willem Andries Petrus Renders 1866–1943 and Hendrik Jacobus Renders 1869–1947) in 1868 following a series of quarrels. He relocated north of the Limpopo and "went native", living about 20 kilometres (12 mi) south-east of Great Zimbabwe with the daughter of a local chief for the rest of his life. He apparently made little effort to report his discovery of Great Zimbabwe to other Westerners. Continuing to informally explore the region, he found a number of ancient gold mines.
In 1871, Renders hosted the German explorer and geographer Karl Mauch, who had heard of Great Zimbabwe and come to the area hoping to make the first archaeological study. Mauch stayed with Renders for nine months, making a number of study excursions to the ruins during that time. In stark contrast to Renders, Mauch sent flamboyant descriptions of the site to the overseas press, claiming that the site was a replica of Solomon's Temple and that he had found the land of Ophir described in the Bible. As the first Westerner to report on Great Zimbabwe, it was Mauch who received most of the credit for finding it. Renders died in obscurity in 1881.
Great Zimbabwe has been marked by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1988.
# The Miocene Arrow

The Miocene Arrow is a post-apocalyptic novel by Australian writer Sean McMullen. It is the middle book of the Greatwinter trilogy.

## Plot summary

In isolated pockets of what used to be America, humans fight stylized duels in small, biodiesel-powered airplanes. In a land where chivalry and honor are everything, what happens when rebels from Australia, enamored of the amazing technology held by the Americans, hatch a plot to bring some of it back to their homes?

## Reception

Publishers Weekly that "the tale features labyrinthine politics, a large cast of engaging, thorny and occasionally rather cartoonish characters, and many well depicted scenes of aerial warfare. The authors inventive use of several oddball technologies is particularly noteworthy, and veteran SF readers may well be reminded of L. Sprague de Camp."
