# David Thomson (writer)

David Thomson (1914–1988) was a writer and BBC producer. He was known for radio documentaries as well as writing children's books, memoirs and novels.

## Early life

David Robert Alexander Thomson was born in British colonial India to Scottish parents. His father served in the Indian Army and was wounded in the Great War. As a child, Thomson lived in Scotland, as well as in Derbyshire and London, where he attended University College School. At the age of eleven, he sustained an eye injury which nearly blinded him. Unable to continue at school, he was sent to the home of his maternal grandmother in Nairn, Scotland, where he was taught by private tutors. At fourteen, Thomson returned to London and the progressive King Alfred School, London to complete his schooling. As an undergraduate he studied Modern History at Lincoln College, Oxford. At this time he also started to tutor a daughter of an Anglo-Irish family, the Kirkwoods, at Woodbrook House in County Roscommon, Ireland.

## Career

From 1943 to 1969, Thomson worked for the BBC as a writer and producer of radio documentaries. Many of these programmes, which covered a range of topics in natural history of peoples and places also found a place in his written work, for example The People of the Sea (1954), on the lore and life of the grey seal in the coastal rural communities of Ireland and Scotland. In 1953-4 he was seconded to UNESCO to produce radio programmes in France, Liberia and Turkey. In 1964 and 1965, Thomson was the producer of the first three iterations of Inventions for Radio on BBC's Third Programme. In 1952, David Thomson married Martina Mayne. They had three sons.
Among his most notable works are three memoirs: Woodbrook (1974), reflecting a ten-year period from 1932 when he visited Ireland regularly, tutoring Phoebe Kirkwood; In Camden Town (1983), describing his life and neighbours in London in the 1950s and 60's; and Nairn in Darkness and Light (1987), where he revisits his childhood years spent in his mother's mother's home in Scotland. In each of these books, his fine style, elegiac but never sentimental, incorporates vivid historical sketches. His acute and sympathetic approach in seeking the voice of the 'common man', whether in an urban or a rural setting, recalls the poetic documentary approach pioneered in film by John Grierson.
# Tiny Glacier

Tiny Glacier is located in the Wind River Range, Bridger-Teton National Forest, in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The glacier is situated in a north-facing cirque immediately west of the Continental Divide.
# Barbeya

Barbeya is the only genus in the family Barbeyaceae, and has only one species, Barbeya oleoides. It is a small tree native to the mountains of Somalia, Ethiopia, and the Arabian Peninsula. It can be found locally abundant in the transition zone between the dry, evergreen, Afromontane forests and lower-elevation evergreen bushlands.
Barbeya oleoides has opposite, oblong-lanceolate, simple leaves with entire margins. Plants are dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate trees.
The family Barbeyaceae is closely related to its ecological associate on the Horn, the family Dirachmaceae. Evidence on the molecular level has demonstrated this despite obvious morphological differences between the two families such as Barbeya having small, unisexual, petalless flowers, while the flowers of Dirachmaceae are characterized by their bisexuality, and their relatively large petals (and size in general).
# Goodland, Iron County, Missouri

Goodland is an unincorporated community in western Iron County, Missouri, United States. It is located on a county road, approximately two miles from Route 49 in the Mark Twain National Forest.

# 1931 census of Palestine

The 1931 census of Palestine was the second census carried out by the authorities of Mandatory Palestine. It was carried out on 18 November 1931 under the direction of Major E. Mills after the 1922 census of Palestine. No further census was conducted in Palestine by the British administration.
The census found a total population of 1,035,821 (1,033,314 excluding the numbers of H.M. Forces), an increase of 36.8% since 1922, of which the Jewish population increased by 108.4%.
The population was divided by religion as follows: 759,717 Muslims, 174,610 Jews, 91,398 Christians, 9,148 Druzes, 350 Bahais, 182 Samaritans, and 421 reporting no religion. A special problem was posed by the nomadic Bedouin of the south, who were reluctant to co-operate. Estimates of each tribe were made by officers of the district administration according to local observation. The total of 759,717 Muslims included 66,553 persons enumerated by that method. The number of foreign British forces stationed in Palestine in 1931 totalled 2,500.

## Publication

Three volumes of data derived from the census were published by the Government of Palestine. They were edited by the Superintendent of Census and Assistant Chief Secretary, E. Mills.
* Census of Palestine 1931. Population of Villages, Towns and Administrative Areas. Jerusalem, 1932 (120 pages).

# Tana River (Kenya)

The Tana River is the longest river in Kenya, it is also called Sagana River in the Mt Kenya region and gives its name to the Tana River County. It's ca. 1000 km long, its catchment covers ca. 100,000 km$^2$ and can be divided into the headwaters and the lower Tana consisting of the section downstream of Kora where the river flows for ca. 700 km through semi-arid plains. Its tributaries include some major rivers in the Central Region like Thika, Ragati River, Nyamindi, Thiba, Mathioya, Chania, Thuci and Mutonga. The river rises from Mt Kenya in Nyeri. It initially runs southwest before turning south around the massif of Mount Kenya and meanders all the way up to the Indian Ocean.
Below the dams, the river turns north and flows along the north-south boundary between the Meru and North Kitui and Bisanadi, Kora and Rabole National Reserves. In the reserves the river turns east, and then south east. It passes through the towns of Garissa, Hola and Garsen before entering the Indian Ocean at the Ungwana Bay-Kipini area, at the end of a river delta that reaches roughly 30 km upstream from the river mouth itself. It runs through a semi-arid area and irrigates the surrounding land.
Annual flow is above 5,000 million cubic meters (MCM) on average, but varies substantially both within and across years, and includes two flood seasons each year Between 1944 and 1978, average total flow (at Garissa) was 6,105 MCM, varying from only 1,789 MCM in 1949 to 13,342 MCM in 1968. During the 1982–1996 period, annual flow remained above 5,000 MCM as well. Water is drawn from the river by the following major irrigation projects: Bura Irrigation and Settlement Project, Tana Irrigation Scheme and the Tana Delta Irrigation Project.
There is growing evidence that climate change will disrupt the Tana River and its surrounding habitats.

## Dams

A series of hydroelectric dams (the Seven Forks Hydro Stations or the Seven Forks Scheme) has been constructed along the river. These include (in order of cascading) the Masinga Dam (commissioned in 1981 with an installed capacity of 40MW), the Kamburu Dam (1974, 94.20MW), the Gitaru Dam (1978, 225.25MW), the Kindaruma Dam (1968, 72MW) and the Kiambere Dam (1988, 168MW). en The Masinga Reservoir and the Kiambere Reservoir, created by the Masinga and Kiambere dams respectively, serve a dual purpose: hydro-electric power (HEP) generation and agricultural irrigation. The other three are used exclusively for HEP generation. A 2003 study reported that two-thirds of Kenya's electrical needs were supplied by the series of dams along the Tana River. Many people believe this river has groundwater underneath it, but it doesn't. The electricity is then supplied to the national grid system and distributed countrywide through a series of substations, transformers and cables.

## Eponyms

Two species of African reptiles are named after the Tana River: Mochlus tanae and Myriopholis tanae.
# Marion Janet Harron

Marion Janet Harron (September 3, 1903 – September 26, 1972) was an American lawyer and United States Tax Court judge from 1936 to 1970. She is also known for her five-year affair with Lorena Hickok. Harron was a frequent visitor at the White House during the 1940s.

## Early life and education

Harron was born in San Francisco, California, the daughter of George Olcott Brown, a jeweler, and Mary Jane (Minnie) Little Brown. Her parents divorced in 1904. Her stepfather Howard Harron was a lawyer; the Harrons divorced in 1916. She graduated from Girls High School in San Francisco in 1920. She earned a bachelor's degree at the University of California in 1924, and completed a law degree at Berkeley's Boalt Hall in 1926, with a thesis on the opinions of Louis Brandeis. She was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Delta Sigma Rho.

## Career

During law school in the 1920s, Harron was a teaching fellow in the economics department at the University of California, and was on the staff of the California Industrial Welfare Commission. She passed the California bar in 1926. She joined the Law Research Institute at Johns Hopkins University in 1928, and co-edited the institute's Current research in law for the academic year 1928-1929 with legal scholar Herman Oliphant.
Harron specialized in corporate law and trusts, working on cases involving bank liquidations and real estate in New York City, from 1929 to 1933. She was assistant counsel with the National Recovery Administration from 1933 to 1935, and with the Resettlement Administration from 1935 to 1936.
In 1936 Harron was the second woman appointed to the United States Board of Tax Appeals, succeeding Annabel Matthews. In 1940 she was named one of the "Ten Most Accomplished Women in the United States Born Since 1900", alongside Clare Booth Luce, Helen Hayes, Marian Anderson, and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. "Most women are taxpayers, and there's no reason why women lawyers should not specialize in taxation," she said in 1941. She was mentioned as a candidate for a federal judge post in San Francisco in 1939. After a 1949 Senate confirmation hearing she was reappointed as a judge of the Tax Court of the United States, though there were questions about her judicial temperament and "reputation for dictatorial, arbitrary, and capricious action upon the bench". One of her last rulings was against Doris Day, when she found the actress liable for over $400,000 in back taxes in 1970.
Harron work involved national travel, hearing tax cases in various cities, which gave her opportunities to speak to women's organizations, including the National Association of Women Lawyers. She spoke at the 1949 Seneca Falls Day event of the National Woman's Party.

## Personal life

Harron had a five-year affair with journalist Lorena Hickok, ending in 1945. Harron died in 1972. A memorial service was held in the Bethlehem Chapel of the Washington National Cathedral.
