# Roy Thomason

Kenneth Roy Thomason, OBE (14 December 1944 – 16 October 2024) was a British Conservative Party politician. He was a local government leader and served one term as a Member of Parliament (MP).

## Early life and education

Thomason was born on 14 December 1944. He was educated at Cheney School in Oxford and trained as a Solicitor at the College of Law, being admitted to the Roll of Solicitors in 1969. Thomason practised in Bournemouth.

## Local government

Thomason was elected to Bournemouth Council in 1970. From 1974 to 1982 he was the Leader of the council, and he was made a delegate to the Council of the Association of District Councils in 1979. Thomason was made Chairman of the Conservative Party's Local Government Advisory Committee in 1980 and became Leader of the Conservative Group on the Association of District Councils the next year, serving until 1984 and 1987 respectively. In 1986 he was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for services to local government.

## Parliament

Thomason contested Newport East in 1983, coming second to Labour's Roy Hughes by 2,630 votes.
Between 1988 and 1991 Thomason served on the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations Executive, a Conservative body which administered the party. He was selected to follow Sir Hal Miller as candidate for the safe seat of Bromsgrove, and won the seat with a 13,702 majority in the 1992 election. Thomason was one of 26 new Conservative MPs to sign an Early Day Motion put down by Eurosceptics calling for a "fresh start" in Britain's negotiations with the European Communities, but was not a hardened eurosceptic and signed an open letter calling for support for the 'paving motion' on the Maastricht Treaty in November 1992.
On social issues Thomason was mildly progressive, supporting a reduction in the age of consent for gay sex to 18 rather than equalising it with the heterosexual age at 16. He resigned from the Carlton Club in December 1994 at a time of a dispute over the admission of women, although newspapers suspected this was because he could not justify the cost of membership.

## Decision to stand down

Thomason was censured by the House of Commons Select Committee on Standards and Privileges for failing to declare loans made to him. He decided not to re-stand after the local Conservative Association opened nominations to other candidates.
On 18 September 1996, Thomason decided he would not offer himself as a candidate for reselection and would stand down as an MP.

## Subsequent career

After the 1997 election, Thomason went back into business management and was executive chairman of the Charminster group of property companies. He also served as chairman of London Strategic Housing, a Housing Association.

## Death

Thomason died on 16 October 2024, at the age of 79.

# Payara

The payara, (Hydrolycus scomberoides), is a species of dogtooth tetra. This predatory fish is found in the Amazon Basin in tropical South America. It was the first of four species to be described in the genus Hydrolycus.

## Description

The most noticeable feature of H. scomberoides is the two long fangs protruding from its lower jaw. These are used to impale their prey, mostly smaller fish. It typically reaches a standard length of about 30 cm (1.0 ft), but can reach up to 51 cm (1 ft 8 in). There are reports of far larger individuals, up to 117 cm (3 ft 10 in) in total length and 17.8 kg (39 lb 4 oz) in weight, based on records by IGFA, but this likely involves confusion with the related H. armatus.
H. scomberoides is overall silvery with a dark spot behind the opercle and another at the lower base of the pectoral fin. In adults the tail is dusky on the basal half, turning paler (more transparent) towards the tip.

## In the aquarium

The payara, which is also sold as the saber tooth barracuda, vampire fish, vampire tetra, or saber tusk barracuda, is a popular species for large, aggressive aquariums. It requires a large aquarium and can only be mixed with relatively large species, as smaller will be seen as potential prey.

# Edmund N. Morrill

Edmund Needham Morrill (February 12, 1834 – March 14, 1909) was a U.S. Representative from Kansas and the 13th governor of Kansas.

## Biography

Edmund Needham Morrill was born in Westbrook, Maine, to Rufus and Mary (Webb) Morrill. He attended the common schools at Westbrook Academy and learned the trade of tanning from his father. At the age of 23, he moved to Kansas.
In 1861, he enlisted as a private in Company C, 7th Kansas Cavalry. Within a year, he was a captain, and by 1865 he was a major.
After the Civil War, he entered the banking business and remained in that business for the rest of his life.
Morrill married twice, first to Elizabeth A. Brettum whom he married on November 27, 1862. Elizabeth died November 1868 at Hiawatha, Kansas. Morrill's second wife was Caroline Jenkins Nash, whom he married December 25, 1869. They had three children, all born at Hiawatha.
In 1866, he was elected clerk of the district court. In 1872, he was elected to the Kansas Senate. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1882, serving four two-year terms before declining another, announcing instead his retirement from politics. Nevertheless, at the urging of his friends, he accepted the nomination for governor of Kansas in 1894 and served one term, being defeated in 1896.
In 1894, The Advocate newspaper exposed several questionable land deals that Morrill orchestrated in connection with the Denver City railroad company. Morrill's tax records show he purposely misrepresented his assessment on property to avoided paying taxes that he had taken from victims of his land schemes. He was called, "the most cold-blooded schemer that ever posed for public favors".
Morrill died March 14, 1909, in San Antonio, Texas, and is buried in Hiawatha's Mount Hope Cemetery.

# Ćiril Iveković

Ćiril Metod Iveković (Croatian pronunciation: or; 1 November 1864 – 15 May 1933) was a Croatian architect and conservator.

## Biography

He was the first of eleven children born to a municipal notary. His younger brother, Oton, was a well known painter. His uncle, Dr. Franjo Iveković, and cousin, Dr. Ivan Broz were the creators of the first full Croatian dictionary. After completing his secondary education in Varaždin and Zagreb, his uncle's support enabled him to study at the Polytechnic Institute in Vienna.
In 1884, under the supervision of Hermann Bollé, Iveković performed stonework for the restoration of Zagreb Cathedral and, the following year, taught stonemasonry at the School of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb. In 1886, without any financial support, he went on foot back to Vienna and enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied until 1889. In 1888, the Academy awarded him its Gundel-Prize for excellence.
During his studies, Iveković worked with the architectural firm of Fellner & Helmer, which specialized in designing theatres. The year following his graduation, he travelled to Italy, then worked in the studios of Baron Karl von Hasenauer, making detailed architectural drawings of historical buildings. With the Baron's recommendation, he became an architect for the provincial government in Sarajevo. He was there for six years and worked on his most familiar project; completing the Vijećnica (City Hall), left unfinished by the death of Alexander Wittek. He also built a city hall for Brčko and a madrasa in Travnik.
In 1896, he was appointed as architect in charge of religious buildings for the Dalmatian government in Zadar. Upon arriving, he travelled throughout the region, assessing the state of its structures. This included archaeological examinations at the Roman site of Asseria, near Benkovac. One of his first projects involved repairing damage to the bell tower at Zadar Cathedral. Major restoration projects were completed under his direction at the Church of St. Donatus and the Church of St. Chrysogonus. He spent almost twenty-five years there, working as an architect, conservator, archaeologist, restorer and, finally, as a photographer. Altogether, he created approximately forty buildings, sacred and profane, throughout Dalmatia.
Iveković remained active in Vienna, becoming a corresponding member of the "Central Commission for the Study and Maintenance of Historical and Artistic Monuments" in 1899 and, later, the Austrian Archaeological Institute. He was also a member of the "Bihać Organization", an historical preservation society founded by the priest Frane Bulić.
The city of Zadar came under Italian rule at the end World War I, but Iveković held on to his position until 1920 when he moved to Zagreb and became a professor of architecture at the Technical High School. From 1922 he was a member of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. He died suddenly, while preparing to go on an archaeological excavation in Biograd.

# Cardiff railway station, New South Wales

Cardiff railway station is located on the Main Northern line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the western Newcastle suburb of Cardiff, opening on 14 March 1889, relocating to its present site on 8 June 1902.
Despite being one of the busiest stations in the region, the station long had substandard facilities, in particular, a lack of disabled access. There had been numerous (often contradictory) proposals to either upgrade Cardiff or relocate the station to the abandoned station at nearby Glendale, following community pressure stretching back to the 1990s.
In November 2010, work started on a series of upgrades. These improved the parking and stairs and provided wheelchair access, weather protection, and a lengthened platform capable of accommodating eight carriage trains.

## Platforms and services

Cardiff has one island platform with two faces. It is serviced by NSW TrainLink Central Coast & Newcastle Line services travelling from Sydney Central to Newcastle.
| Platform | Line | Stopping pattern | Notes |

# Osteen Bridge

The Douglas Stenstrom Bridge, also known as the Osteen Bridge, is a steel-and-concrete bridge located in Indian Mound Village, Florida, east of Sanford, that carries State Road 415 over the St. Johns River. The current bridge was completed in 1977, replacing a 1920s vintage bridge that was considered the most dangerous in the state; a second parallel span was completed in 2015.

## History

The original Osteen Bridge, a hand-turned swing bridge, was built in the 1920s; it was rebuilt in 1947. The bridge is located just upstream from Lake Monroe, crossing the Indian Mound Slu portion of the river between Lake Monroe and Lake Jesup; by the 1970s the original bridge, only 14 feet (4.3 m) in width, proved dangerous and too narrow for continued use, being described as "the worst bridge in Florida" in 1972. In 1973, mats of invasive water hyacinth caused damage to the bridge's structure.
An accident in 1974 that killed five people when their van was run off the bridge by a truck gave the final impetus to the construction of a new bridge, replacing the dangerous older span. The new Osteen Bridge was constructed starting in 1975, with work continuing through 1976 and early 1977; constructed by the Houdaille-Duval-Wright company of Jacksonville, the project cost approximately $2.6 million USD. The new bridge opened in April 1977, and was officially named the Douglas Stenstrom Bridge in 1978, after a Florida state senator Douglas Stenstrom who had pushed for the completion of the project. Part of the previous bridge was left in place, serving as a fishing pier.
Repairs to the bridge were undertaken during 2011. A second parallel bridge was completed in 2015 to support the widening of SR 415 to 2 lanes in each direction.

# Rodime

Rodime was an electronics company specialising in hard disks, based in Glenrothes, Scotland. It was founded in 1979 by several Scottish and American former employees of Burroughs Corporation and listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1986, becoming Rodime PLC.
Rodime produced a wide range of hard disks, initially 5¼-inch form-factor ST506-compatible devices, but later launching the world's first 3½-inch hard disk, as well as producing SCSI and ATA drives. Of particular note, Rodime produced the hard disks used in Apple Computer's first external hard drive for the Macintosh, the Macintosh Hard Disk 20, which connected to the external floppy disk drive port found on Macintosh computers from that period.
Due to increasing competition and delays in developing new products, Rodime became unprofitable after 1985, and a financial restructuring package was put in place in 1989. However, in 1991, Rodime ceased manufacturing and was reduced to a holding company which continued to pursue patent litigation against other hard disk manufacturers such as Quantum and Seagate.
Some ex-Rodime engineering staff went on to form Calluna Technology, which specialised in 1.8 inch PC Card form-factor hard disks.
In 2000, Rodime PLC performed a reverse takeover of the Littlewoods gaming business, thus changing its principal business to gaming and betting. Soon after, it changed its name to Sportech PLC.
