# Colin Burgon

Colin Burgon (born 22 April 1948) is a British Labour Party politician who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Elmet from 1997 to 2010.

## Early life

Colin Burgon was born in Leeds to Catholic, Labour-supporting parents. His mother, Winnie, was a school secretary; his father, Tommy, was a tailor; and his brother Terence also became a teacher. He was educated at St Charles R.C. Junior School and passed the eleven-plus exam, enabling him to attend St Michael's Catholic College in Woodhouse. In later life, Burgon said that alighting the bus wearing a grammar school uniform in Gipton made him aware of the class system and made him "deplore structures that inherently deny opportunity to people".
On leaving school, Burgon trained as a teacher at Carnegie College, Leeds, then studied at Huddersfield Polytechnic. Burgon worked as a history teacher at Foxwood High School (which later became East Leeds Family Learning Centre and was demolished in 2009), a deprived secondary school in the Seacroft area of East Leeds, where he was an active member of the NUT union. Burgon left teaching and the NUT in 1987 to work for Wakefield District Council as a local government policy and research officer. He was also a research officer with the GMB Union. Burgon was made an honorary member of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) for his support for NUM actions in the 1984–85 miners' strike. Before he became an MP, Burgon worked with Elmet miners and their families during and after the strike.

## Parliamentary career

Burgon was the election agent for the Labour Party in Elmet in 1983 before being selected himself as the Labour candidate for Elmet. Burgon unsuccessfully contested Elmet in 1987 and 1992, both times coming second to the incumbent Conservative, Spencer Batiste.
In 1997, Burgon contested Elmet for the third time, finally defeating Batiste with an 8,779-vote majority. He was re-elected in 2001 and 2005. In the House of Commons, he was elected to sit on the Northern Ireland Select committee in 2000, and the Home Affairs Select Committee in 2005. Burgon has also taken interest in socialism in South America, particularly in Venezuela. In May 2007, he wrote in The Guardian in support of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and his government's controversial refusal to renew the broadcasting licence of a television station that had been openly supportive of the coup against Chávez's elected government. Burgon was the chairman of Labour Friends of Venezuela. He is on the left of the Labour Party and has vociferously criticised what he calls the "neo-liberal" policies the party pursued during the New Labour leaderships of Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Burgon stood down from Parliament in 2010.

## Personal life

Burgon is divorced and has one daughter. He has taken a keen interest in opencast mining, an important issue in Elmet. His nephew Richard Burgon has been a Labour MP since 2015.
# Ethylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride

Ethylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride is a chemical compound with formula C $_6$O $_6$, that can be seen as the twofold anhydride of ethylenetetracarboxylic acid C $_6$H $_4$O $_8$. It has a bicyclic molecular structure consisting of two maleic anhydride rings fused by their respective alkene units. It is a pale yellow oily liquid, soluble in dichloromethane and chloroform.
The compound and its reactions were first reported in 1967. More recently developed reactions for its synthesis include pyrolysis of ethylenetetracarboxylic acid
and microwave pyrolysis of solid Meldrum's acid. In this latter route, two molecules of the Meldrum's acid are believed to undergo a reductive dimerization to give an alkene linkage with one "Meldrum's acid" ring on each end. The rings then open via hydrolysis of the esters to form ethylenetetracarboxylic acid, and then the carboxylic acid units recyclize with different partners (cis on each side of the alkene) as in the simple pyrolysis of the tetraacid.
An alternative dianhydride isomer, consisting of two malonic anhydride units joined by an alkene, has not been reported in the literature.
# Waste weir

A waste weir on a navigable canal is a slatted gate on each canal level or pound, to remove excess water and to drain the canal for repairs or for the winter shutdown. This differs for a dam or reservoir, for which a waste weir is another name for a spillway, i.e. not having the boards to adjust the water height nor the paddles to drain all the water as on a canal, only to drain the excess.

## Uses

A canal will often need some means to maintain a water level. A canal constantly consumes water due to leakage, evaporation, and the operation of lift locks. Nevertheless, excess water from storms or emptying locks could cause problems by eroding the banks of a canal, causing washouts, and flooding buildings or adjacent properties. Waste weirs were one of several measures used to remove surplus water. The waste weir also functioned as an opening to drain the entire canal prism of water for repairs, or for winter (to avoid damage from freezing water), or in anticipation of flooding.
In some cases when a creek was used to feed the canal, a waste weir was necessary for excess water from the creek. For instance, on the Morris Canal, the Lopatcong Creek went into the canal to feed it, but it had a tendency to flood, hence the need for a couple of waste weirs in the area around the bottom of Inclined Plane 9 West near Port Warren, New Jersey (near Strykers Road today).
Reservoirs and tanks also use a waste weir for flood discharges.

## Design

The maximum flow output $Q$ in cubic meters/sec over the top of the waste weir with a length $L$ and height of water $H$ above the crest can be calculated by the formulas:
    $Q=KLH^{3/2}$
and
    $K={\frac {2}{3}}C_{d}{\sqrt {2g}}$
where g=gravitational constant of $9.8m/{sec^{2}}$ and Cd is the coefficient of discharge over the weir.
Various values of Cd can be given as follows:
| Crest type | $C_{d}$ |
| Weir with crest up to one meter in width | 0.625 |
| Weir with crest greater than one meter in width | 0.562 |
| Rough stone sloping escape | 0.500 |
| Flush escape (no drop) | 0.437 |

## Construction

Construction methods varied depending on the canal. On the Erie Canal and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, waste weirs were often constructed from masonry or concrete.

## Law

Since a waste weir was part of canal property, it would sometimes be explicitly protected by law. On the Morris Canal, New Jersey Statue 136 section 61 stated that for willfully and maliciously opening the gates of waste weirs the penalty was $25.

## Gallery

* Waste weir. Note boards to adjust water height. The wicket at Pennyfield lock were open, draining the canal of water, hence, why the water level is lower than the boards.
* Boards are out. Note the iron wickets (paddle valves) closed. Those could be opened to drain the canal further.
* Concrete Waste weir. Note rods for attaching handles to control paddle valves.

# Soldiers' Memorial Library

Soldiers' Memorial Library is a historic library building at the junction of Park Row and Union Street in Mansfield, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story Gothic Revival structure was designed by the noted firm of Peabody and Stearns, and built in 1899–1901. The building and land were primarily a gift from Elizabeth F. Noble. It was designed to house the public library on the ground floor, and provide a memorial to the town's American Civil War soldiers on the upper floor.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. In 2013 the building was housing school administrative offices.

# Helene Raynsford

Helene Raynsford (born 1979) is a British rower who competed at the 2008 Summer Paralympics.
She trained at Elmhurst Ballet School before an injury ended her chances of becoming a professional dancer. At university Raynsford studied biochemistry but a head injury at the age of 21 left her needing the use of a wheelchair. Helene completed a degree at Royal Holloway and is now undertaking a masters in neuroscience. She has returned to Royal Holloway as a guest speaker. Before taking up rowing Helene was a member of the Great Britain wheelchair basketball team from 2003 until 2006 and won two Paralympic Cup silver medals in the sport.

## Rowing

Raynsford took up rowing after visiting Dorney Lake in 2005, before going on to join Guildford Rowing Club, where much of her early training was undertaken. She first competed in the national championships in 2005. In May 2006 she posted a qualifying time that earned her entry to the World Championships but her preparations were disrupted by a car accident that left her ribs and stomach badly bruised. Despite this she went on to win her heat and then the final to become world champion in the arms-only single sculls. At the 2007 World Championships she suffered an asthma attack on the first day of the competition and finished fifth in the final. This qualified her for the 2008 Paralympics.
At the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing, China, rowing made its debut appearance at the Games. Raynsford became the first ever Paralympic champion in the sport, winning the women's single sculls by a 12-second margin in a time of 6 minutes 12.93 seconds.
In April 2010 Raynsford announced her retirement from rowing due to a cardiac problem. Following a change in her drug regime and surgery she returned to the sport and after winning the British trials was named to the British team for the 2010 World Championships in New Zealand.
Raynsford was appointed to UK Anti-Doping's newly formed Athlete's Committee along with Paralympic swimmer Graham Edmunds, football player Clarke Carlisle and former England rugby union captain, Martin Corry.
# 1964 Tasmanian state election

The 1964 Tasmanian state election was held on 2 May 1964 in the Australian state of Tasmania to elect 35 members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly. The election used the Hare-Clark proportional representation system — seven members were elected from each of five electorates.
The Labor Party, in power since 1934, was seeking a tenth term in office, and Premier Eric Reece was contesting his second election in that role, this time against Leader of the Opposition Angus Bethune of the Liberal Party. Despite its longevity, the peculiarities of the Tasmanian Hare-Clark system meant it had served as a minority government with the support of independents since the 1946 election.
This is to date the last time that a sitting Premier, in Reece, has won back to back elections and was the first and only time that a Tasmanian Government won a tenth consecutive term in office.

## Results

Labor won a majority in the House of Assembly with 19 of the 35 seats. Dr Reg Turnbull, the former Labor treasurer who had won 27.9% as an independent in Bass in 1959 (equal to 5.64% of the statewide vote) departed in 1961 for the Australian Senate, with most of his vote returning to his former party.

# Alfons Verplaetse

Alfons "Fons" Remi Emiel, Viscount Verplaetse (19 February 1930 – 15 October 2020) was a Belgian economist who served as Governor of the National Bank of Belgium (NBB) from 1989 until 1999. He was one of the architects of the devaluation of the Belgian Frank in 1982 when he worked at the cabinet of Wilfried Martens in the government Martens V. As governor of the NBB, he prepared the entry of Belgium to the euro in 1999.

## Career

Verplaetse was born on 19 February 1930, in Zulte. After he graduated in commercial sciences from the Catholic University of Leuven, Alfons Verplaetse started his career at the National Bank in 1953, where he worked at the Research department. In 1982, in the government Martens V, he was seconded to the Prime Minister's Office as associate chief of staff, and subsequently as head of the Economic Office until 1987. Together with Jacques van Ypersele de Strihou, he was one of the architects of the economic recovery policy launched by the February 1982 devaluation of the Belgian franc. The plan was mainly conceived by four people meeting in Verplaetse's holiday residence in Poupehan [nl], a tiny village in the Ardennes. Later Poupehan became a term for backroom politics.
He was appointed as a director of the NBB in 1985 and became vice-governor in 1988 and succeeded Jean Godeaux as governor in 1989. In 1990, the Belgian franc was linked to the German mark, in order to stabilise the Belgian currency. The reform of the Belgian monetary policy instruments in 1991 was another step to stabilise and improve the Belgian monetary situation.
An important challenge of his tenure as governor of the NBB was the European monetary integration, which was initiated under Jacques Delors. Alfons Verplaetse became a member of the board of governors of the European Monetary Institute in 1994 and of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank in 1998.
Verplaetse was supposed to retire in 1997, but remained in office until 1999 to oversee the introduction of the euro to replace the Belgian franc, on 1 January 1999, as the official currency of Belgium. He was succeeded by Guy Quaden as governor of the National Bank. On 10 March 1997, Verplaetse was elected President of the Bank for International Settlements. He was replaced on 8 February 1999 by Urban Bäckström. After his retirement, he made his expertise available in the service of economic and financial development in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Verplaetse died from COVID-19 on 15 October 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium.
