# Hagenia

Hagenia is a monotypic genus of flowering plant with the sole species Hagenia abyssinica, native to the high-elevation Afromontane regions of central and eastern Africa. It also has a disjunct distribution in the high mountains of East Africa from Sudan and Ethiopia in the north, through Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Tanzania, to Malawi and Zambia in the south. A member of the rose family, its closest relative is the Afromontane genus Leucosidea.

## Description

It is a tree up to 20 m in height, with a short trunk, thick branches, and thick, peeling bark. The leaves are up to 40 cm long, compound with 7-13 leaflets, each leaflet about 10 cm long with a finely serrated margin, green above, silvery-haired below. The flowers are white to orange-buff or pinkish-red, produced in panicles 30–60 cm long.

## Nomenclature

It is known in English as African redwood, East African rosewood, brayera, cusso, hagenia, or kousso, in Amharic as kosso, and in Swahili as mdobore or mlozilozi. Synonyms of the species include Banksia abyssinica, Brayera anthelmintica, Hagenia abyssinica var. viridifolia and Hagenia anthelmintica.

## Distribution and habitat

It is generally found from 2000 to 3000 m elevation, in areas receiving 1000–1500 mm of rainfall annually. It can be found growing in mixed afromontane forest with Podocarpus, Afrocarpus, and other trees, and in drier afromontane forests and woodlands where Hagenia is dominant, or in mixed stands of Hagenia and Juniperus procera. It is often found near the upper limit of forest growth, giving way to giant heather zones above it.

## Ecology

Hagenia is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including turnip moth.

## Medical use

A drug obtained from the tree, known as Kousso, comprises the entire inflorescence kept in form by a band wound transversely round it. The active principle is koussin or kosin, C $_{31}$H $_{38}$O $_{10}$, which is soluble in alcohol and alkalis, and may be given directly in doses or in an infusion of the coarsely powdered flowers. It is considered to be an effectual anthelmintic for tapeworm, Taenia solium.
# Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context"

The Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context" is a research facility funded in the framework of the German Universities Excellence Initiative of the federal state governments of Germany since October 2017. It is a trans- and interdisciplinary network of researchers affiliated with Heidelberg University. A key research area of the Cluster is the process of exchange between cultures of Asia and Europe, ranging from migration and trade to the formation of concepts and institutions. Shortly it is meant to understand and fill the cultural gap between two continents for the ease of trade and migration.

## Overview

The Cluster aims at enhancing the understanding of the multi-layered interactions between and within Asia and Europe. During the first funding period from 2008 to 2012, the Cluster's focus was on "Shifting Asymmetries in Cultural Flows", and in the second funding period until October 2017, the Cluster focused on "The Dynamics of Transculturality".
The Cluster is located at the Karl Jaspers Center for Advanced Transcultural Studies (KJC) at Heidelberg University, Germany. The KJC provides facilities and infrastructure for collaboration, research and teaching. A branch office of the Cluster is located at the “Heidelberg Center South Asia” in New Delhi, India.
The Cluster is headed by three directors, who are Joseph Maran (Pre- and Protohistory), Axel Michaels (Classical Indology) and Barbara Mittler (Sinology).

## Research

The research projects are organized in four research areas: “Governance & Administration”, “Public Spheres”, “Knowledge Systems” and “Historicities & Heritage”. Five professorships in Buddhist Studies, Cultural Economic History, Global Art History, Intellectual History, Visual and Media Anthropology as well as two Start-Up Professorships for Transcultural Studies and Junior Research Groups headed by post-doctoral scholars are located at the Cluster.
The “Heidelberg Research Architecture”, the Digital Humanities unit at the Cluster, develops metadata frameworks.
Research results are published in international journals and book series. The Cluster has launched two-book series -“Transcultural Research: Heidelberg Studies on Asia and Europe in a Global Context” and “Heidelberg Transcultural Studies” – as well as the e-journal “Transcultural Studies”. All of them are peer-reviewed.

## Teaching

The Master of Arts program "Transcultural Studies" started in the winter term 2011/12 at Heidelberg University and combines interdisciplinary education with a transcultural focus. Language of instruction is English.
The "Graduate Programme for Transcultural Studies" offers a structured doctoral program within the interdisciplinary research environment of the Cluster.

## Biography

A native of Jonesboro in Jackson Parish, Moffett holds a bachelor's degree from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, a master's degree from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, and an Ed.D. in educational administration from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.
Prior to serving as president of Southeastern, Moffett was the institutional provost and vice president for academic affairs.

### President of Southeastern Louisiana University

From 2001 July to June 2008, Moffett was the president of Southeastern Louisiana University at Hammond, Louisiana. After leaving his position as president of Southeastern, he was honored by a Resolution of Commendation from the University's Faculty Senate.

# Stechford rail crash

The Stechford rail crash occurred on 28 February 1967 at Stechford railway station in the area of Stechford in Birmingham, England.

## Crash

A Class 24 diesel locomotive, fleet number D5002, had arrived at Stechford sidings with a ballast train. This was due to return to Nuneaton and so the locomotive needed to be run round the train. There were too many wagons for the runaround loop to be used, so the Head Shunter decided to run the locomotive around via the main line. This was a movement that was only to be made in an emergency, and even then only with permission from the signalman at Birmingham New Street Signal Box.
The Head Shunter did not seek such permission and when his hand signal for the guard was misunderstood by the secondman, the locomotive moved on to the main line just as a Manchester-Coventry four-carriage Class 304 electric unit no.026 was approaching. It struck the locomotive a glancing blow at about 60 mph, derailing the first two carriages which finished on their side, killing the driver and eight passengers. In addition, 16 people were injured.
The leading coach of the multiple unit was cut up on site. The second vehicle was removed to Wolverton, but never returned to service.

# Kenyah languages

The Kenyah languages are a group of half a dozen or so closely related languages spoken by the Kenyah peoples of Borneo. They are:
    Kenyah proper (a dialect cluster, incl. Madang), Sebob, Tutoh (Long Wat), Wahau Kenyah, Uma’ Lung / Uma’ Lasan.
Ethnologue says that the Punan–Nibong languages are related to Uma’ Lasan, Glottolog that they are outside the Kenyah languages.

## Classification

Soriente (2008) proposes a Kayan-Kenyah grouping.
* Proto–Kayan-Kenyah
** Kenyah
*** Upper Pujungan
*** Usun Apau
** Penan
*** West Penan
*** East Penan
** Kayanic
*** Lebuʼ Kulit
*** Mboh
*** Ngorek
*** Kayan
However, Smith (2015) rejects Soriente's grouping, and argues that Kenyah and Kayan are separate groups. Smith (2015) proposes the following classification.
* Proto-Kenyah
** Highland
*** Highland A dialects: Lepoʼ Gah, Lepoʼ Sawa, Lepoʼ Laang, Lepoʼ Baha, Lepoʼ Maʼut, Lepoʼ Ké, Bakung, Lepoʼ Ndang
*** Highland B dialects: Lepoʼ Tau, Badeng, Umaʼ Lasan, Umaʼ Alim, Òma Lóngh
** Lowland
*** Western Lowland dialects: Lebo' Vo'
*** Eastern Lowland dialects: Lebuʼ Kulit, Lebuq Timai, Umaʼ Pawa, Umaʼ Ujok, Umaʼ Kelap/Kelep
** Penan-Sebop
*** Penan
*** Sebop
This classification of Kenyah languages was updated in a second publication, "Penan, Sebop, and Kenyah internal classification". There, it was shown that Penan and Sebop subgroup specifically with the Western-Lowland branch of Lowland Kenyah. This subgrouping was repeated in the dissertation, "The languages of Borneo: a comprehensive classification".
* Proto-Kenyah
** Highland
*** Highland A dialects: Lepoʼ Gah, Lepoʼ Sawa, Lepoʼ Laang, Lepoʼ Baha, Lepoʼ Maʼut, Lepoʼ Ké, Bakung, Lepoʼ Ndang
*** Highland B dialects: Lepoʼ Tau, Badeng, Umaʼ Lasan, Umaʼ Alim, Òma Lóngh
** Lowland
*** Western Lowland dialects: Lebo' Vo', Eastern Penan, Western Penan, Sebop
*** Eastern Lowland dialects: Lebuʼ Kulit, Lebuq Timai, Umaʼ Pawa, Umaʼ Ujok, Umaʼ Kelap/Kelep

## Supposed Austroasiatic influence

# 1973 São Toméan Legislative Assembly election

Elections to a Legislative Assembly were held for the first and only time in Portuguese São Tomé and Príncipe in March 1973.

## Background

On 2 May 1972 the Portuguese National Assembly passed the Organic Law for the Overseas Territories, which provided for greater autonomy for overseas territories. São Tomé and Príncipe was to have a 16-member Legislative Assembly.
Candidates were required to be Portuguese citizens who had lived in São Tomé and Príncipe for more than three years and be literate in Portuguese. As the Portuguese constitution banned political parties at the time, the majority of candidates were put forward by the ruling People's National Action movement, although some civic associations were allowed to nominate candidates.

## Results

Out of a total population of 73,811, only 5,881 people registered to vote. A total of 4,781 people voted, giving a voter turnout of 81.2%.
