# Hermione Hammond

Hermione Hammond (11 August 1910 – 29 July 2005) was an English painter who is most famous for her paintings of London damaged by the Blitz during World War II.
Born in Hexham, Northumberland, to an artist mother and an invalid father, Hermione Hammond had one brother and one sister. Rolt was a civil engineer who became a freelance journalist and wrote 26 books, notably engineering textbooks; Rosemary wrote music and assisted the composer Peter Maxwell Davies when he taught at Cirencester Grammar School. She attended the Francis Holland School in London (one of her schoolmates was actress Joyce Grenfell). She went on to study art at the Chelsea Polytechnic, then at the Royal Academy Schools, under Walter Russell and Tom Monnington. She learned mural decoration at the Royal College of Art and attended night classes in etching.
She supported herself by winning prizes and doing odd jobs. One such job was the altarpiece in the ecumenical chapel of Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, another was the altarpiece at Marlborough House School, Tenterden. After winning the competition to decorate the ceiling of the new Senate House of London University in 1937 she gained a Rome Scholarship (to The British School at Rome) in 1938, but her studies there were cut short by the outbreak of war. With an added sense of urgency, she absorbed all she could of the Italian Renaissance in Rome, Florence, Arezzo and Ravenna. Hammond left Mussolini's Italy for England via Switzerland.
Hammond's best friend was Neville Chamberlain's daughter, Dorothy; she visited Chequers on several occasions.
In 1949 resumed her professional career which continued until the 1990s. She died, aged 94, in 2005.
# Blocking (textile arts)

In knitting, crochet and other handmade textile arts, blocking is a final stage of handmade textile production that adjusts the shape and size of the finished piece. Not all pieces need blocking; however, blocking is standard for lace work and is not uncommon in sweaters, socks, and other solid projects. Through heat and moisture, blocking sets the stitches and standardizes the final dimensions, and may enhance the drape. Hand manufacture places natural stresses on fabrics that may result in deviations from its intended shape and size. Blocking is only effective on natural fibres but a technique called killing may be used on synthetic fibres to achieve an effect similar to blocking.
The degree of malleability is determined by the type of yarn used, with wool providing the most flexibility. For projects that are produced in sections or piecework, blocking is normally done prior to final assembly, and may be repeated after final construction.

## Blocking methods

Blocking can be done in several different ways. Depending on the method, the crafter may use rustproof pins, blocking wires, blocking combs, wool wash, a wash basing or sink, a spray bottle, a steamer, or a steam iron. A stable flat surface, measuring tape, and towels are standard and some prefer to also use blocking mats or a blocking board. Handmade socks are typically blocked on sock blockers. Fibres that tolerate water well may be wet blocked, shaping moist fabric into the desired shape and then allowing it to air dry. Cold blocking (or spray blocking) uses no heat and less water to achieve the same result by spraying water upon the material instead of immersing the fabric. Steam blocking uses a steamer or steam iron, but without applying direct pressure to the item.

### Wet blocking

Wet blocking is done by saturating a garment in warm water and allowing it to dry. Some items (especially lace) are stretched while wet with the use of pins and/or blocking wires, while others may be gently shaped without stretching.

### Steam blocking

Steam blocking is done by hovering a hot, steaming iron over the fabric. Hovering the iron about 1 or 2 inches above the fabric flattens the stitch, makes it thinner, and allows it to hold its shape better. This is the only method that works for blocking synthetics, like acrylic.

### Spritz/cold/spray blocking

Spritz blocking involves spraying the garment with water. This relaxes the fibres more than steam blocking but less than wet blocking. Most often, a spray bottle is used.

### Sock blocking

Sock blocking involves wetting the garment using wet or spray blocking techniques with water. The socks are then placed on sock blockers, which should be sized to match the finished sock dimensions. The blockers are then left to dry flat or hung up on a hook.

### Killing

It is possible to set synthetic fibres through a process known as "killing", wherein the item is pinned in place and carefully steamed to achieve a very slight controlled melt of the fibres. Killed fabrics are permanently set and cannot be returned to their original form through washing.

### Applications

# Ouandago

Ouandago is a market town located in Nana-Grébizi Prefecture, Central African Republic.

## History
### Central African Republic Bush War

At midnight of 28 June 2006, twenty zaraguinas raided Ouandago and looted the market. Two months later, on 19 and 20 August, zaraguinas attacked Ouandago again and kidnapped nine people. The abductees were forced to reveal the location where they kept the animals. Afterward, they killed all the hostages and stole cows.
These two incidents led the town residents to ask APRD rebels to tackle the insecurity problem as they distrusted the government, which was unable to provide security. APRD sent hundreds of its fighters to Ouandago and they were able to drive away the bandit and recover nine villagers' bodies. Since then, Ouandago was heavily under the control of APRD.
On 5 October 2006, FACA attacked Ouandago to capture the town from APRD. The battle lasted for two hours and APRD withdrew from Ouandago. Subsequently, FACA called for reinforcement and soon after, the Presidential Guard arrived in Ouandago. The presidential guard forces arrested five civilians and two days later, they executed the detainees at the health center. In addition, FACA and Presidential Guard pillaged and torched houses, warehouses, shops, and a local gendarmerie post. They established a base in Ouandago and stayed there until 17 October.

### Central African Republic Civil War (2012-present)

On 19 June 2016, a clash between two ex-Seleka groups occurred in Ouandago over a dispute over sharing stolen oxen. In February 2022, MINUSCA conducted a security operation in Ouandago to end auto-defense group harassment. They arrested 11 militias.

## Economy

There is one market in the town.

## Education

The town has one school.

## Healthcare

Ouandago has one health center. From July to September 2013, Seleka occupied the health center and used it as a base.

# Iceland gull

The Iceland gull (Larus glaucoides) is a medium-sized gull that breeds in the Arctic regions of Canada and Greenland, but not in Iceland (as its name suggests), where it is only seen during winter. The genus name is from Latin larus, which appears to have referred to a gull or other large seabird. The specific name glaucoides denotes its resemblance to Larus glaucus, a synonym of Larus hyperboreus, the glaucous gull; -oides is Ancient Greek and means "resembling".

## Description

The Iceland gull is a medium-sized gull, although relatively slender and light in weight. In length, it can measure from 50 to 64 cm (20 to 25 in), wingspan is from 115 to 150 cm (45 to 59 in), and weight is from 480 to 1,100 g (1.06 to 2.43 lb). Among standard measurements, the wing chord is 37.9 to 44.3 cm (14.9 to 17.4 in), the bill is 3.6 to 5.4 cm (1.4 to 2.1 in), and the tarsus is 4.9 to 6.7 cm (1.9 to 2.6 in). It is smaller and thinner-billed than the very large glaucous gull, and is usually smaller than the herring gull. It takes four years to reach maturity.

## Call

The call is a "laughing" cry like the herring gull, but higher pitched.

## Ecology

It is migratory, wintering from in the North Atlantic as far south as the British Isles and northernmost states of the eastern United States, as well as in the interior of North America as far west as the western Great Lakes. It is much scarcer in Europe than the similar glaucous gull.
This species breeds colonially or singly on coasts and cliffs, making a nest lined with grass, moss, or seaweed on the ground or cliff. Normally, two or three light brown eggs are laid. They breed in Canada and Greenland, but not in Iceland.
Like most Larus gulls, these are omnivores, eating fish, molluscs, offal, scraps, and eggs. They forage while flying, picking up food at or just below the water's surface, and they also feed while walking or swimming. Their scavenging habits lead them to frequent garbage dumps, sewage outlets, and places where fish are cleaned.

## Taxonomy and systematics

The American taxon of Iceland gull by the American Ornithological Society as of 2017 considers the following as subspecies:
* Kumlien's gull, L. g. kumlieni
* Thayer's gull, L. g. thayeri
The nominate subspecies, L. g. glaucoides, is very pale in all plumage, with absolutely no melanin in the tips of the primaries in adult plumage. Adults are pale grey above, with a yellowish-green bill. Immatures are very pale grey; the bill is more extensively dark than with glaucous gull, and lacks pink.

# Broadway Historic District (Bangor, Maine)

The Broadway Historic District in Bangor, Maine, United States, bounded by Garland, Essex, State, Park, and Center Streets, is one of the residential neighborhoods most favored by the city's lumber barons and business elites in the early to late 19th century. A second and slightly later Bangor neighborhood of primarily elite houses, centered on West Broadway, is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Whitney Park Historic District. Both historic districts are also protected under local ordinance.
Broadway reflects Bangor's aspirations, in the 1820s-1830s, to become one of the chief port cities in New England, if not the East Coast. It was laid out roughly on the model of Boston's Beacon Hill, with a green strip running down the center for the first two blocks, planted with a double row of elm trees. A few blocks further on, the street bisects a large park (Broadway Park), which is the terminus of the historic district. The district also includes some immediate side streets of equal status, notably French Street, whose houses overlooked downtown Bangor from a bluff.
The first residences built along the street's green strip in the 1820s-30s were large brick double-houses and single-houses, again conformed to the city-scape of Boston. Typical of these early houses are the Hinkley House, a brick duplex built in the 1820s, and Fred Dickey House, an elegant Federal style house built in 1807. Within the first decade, however, brick had given way to fully detached wooden mansions, though the size and stylistic ambitions of the owners didn't diminish. The district features houses built in every period and style from the 1820s through the early 20th century (e.g. Greek Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Colonial Revival, etc.). Part of the district was devastated by the Great Fire of 1911, and although most of the burned section was rebuilt, Broadway began to be abandoned as newer and more attractive elite neighborhoods began to open up (e.g. Little City and Fairmount Park). The construction of the large Catholic John Bapst High School in the center of the district in the 1920s, for which a number of mansions were demolished, was likely the tipping point in the neighborhood's conversion to mixed use.

# Cedar Crest Addition Historic District

The Cedar Crest Addition Historic District is a residential subdivision and historic district in Normal, Illinois. The subdivision is bounded roughly by Division Street to the south, Highland Avenue to the north, Fell Avenue to the west, and a local recreation trail, the Constitution Trail, to the east. Developed from 1914 to 1930, Cedar Crest Addition was the first large planned subdivision in Normal. Prior to its construction, Normal lacked paved streets and townwide electrical, sewer, and water systems and was considered more a rural area than a proper suburb of Bloomington. Planner Burt Marley Kuhn and architect Aaron T. Simmons planned the subdivision to be more developed and organized; in particular, it featured tree-lined curvilinear streets inspired by the City Beautiful movement. Simmons designed many of the houses in the district in the then-popular American Craftsman style, another modern addition to Normal. The subdivision gave Normal a much more modern reputation, and a local historian called it "one of the most important additions ever made to Normal" in the 1920s.
The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 2006.
# Titus Okere

# Mount Stratus

Mount Stratus is a 12,534-foot-elevation (3,820-meter) mountain summit in Grand County, Colorado, United States.

## Description

Mount Stratus is the ninth-highest peak of the Never Summer Mountains which are a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. The mountain is situated on the western boundary of Rocky Mountain National Park and is visible from Trail Ridge Road within the park. The west side of the peak is in the Never Summer Wilderness which is managed by Arapaho National Forest. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into tributaries of the Colorado River except for a portion which is diverted by the Grand Ditch. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 3,600 feet (1,100 meters) above the Kawuneeche Valley in 2.5 miles (4.0 km) and 1,700 feet (520 meters) above Baker Gulch in three-quarters of a mile. An ascent of the peak involves hiking 12.8 miles (20.6 km) round-trip with 3,555 feet (1,084 m) of elevation gain.

## Etymology

The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. In 1914, James Grafton Rogers named Mount Cirrus, Mount Nimbus, and Mount Cumulus for different types of common clouds, but he did not name Mt. Stratus, it was added later.

## Climate

According to the Köppen climate classification system, Mount Stratus is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers. Due to its altitude, it receives precipitation all year, as snow in winter, and as thunderstorms in summer, with a dry period in late spring.
# Bowen House

Bowen House is a 22-storey office building on the corner of Lambton Quay and Bowen Street, Wellington, New Zealand, that was leased by the New Zealand Parliament to house some members of Parliament and government staff.
The building was designed by Warren and Mahoney architects. Construction began in 1988 and was completed in 1990. It was leased by the New Zealand Parliament from 1991 to 2020. It was once owned by Government Property Services, which was privatised as Capital Properties New Zealand by a National–New Zealand First coalition government in 1998. In 2012, AMP Capital sold the building to Farhad Vladi [de], a German property investor.
Bowen House contained offices for the smaller political parties, select committee staff, and some ministers and their support staff. It is connected to the Executive Wing (the Beehive) of the Parliament Buildings by an underground travelator under Bowen Street. Bowen House was part of the parliamentary security system, and the government was the only tenant in the building.
Some high-rise buildings in Wellington suffered damage in the November 2016 Kaikōura earthquake, notably Statistics House where some floors partially collapsed after separating from the walls. In December 2016, Wellington City Council ordered that building inspections be carried out in about 80 buildings including Bowen House. (By 2022 the Council had identified 150 buildings at possible risk.) The buildings affected by the order were all multi-storey, constructed of reinforced concrete with precast hollow core concrete slab floors. In May 2019 engineers began investigating Bowen House, and in October 2019 Speaker of the House Trevor Mallard announced that engineers did not believe Bowen House was fully safe and that staff would be temporarily relocated so that the building could be strengthened. By February 2020, plans were underway to shift 600 staff after the building was declared to only reach 40% of the new building code. In 2021 Precinct Properties bought Bowen House for $92 million, with plans to earthquake-strengthen and redevelop the building. Strengthening was completed during 2023.
