# Birmingham Midshires

Birmingham Midshires is an online trading name of Bank of Scotland plc (part of Lloyds Banking Group). It was headquartered at Pendeford Business Park, Wolverhampton. It previously had 67 branches throughout England and Wales. Previously, Birmingham Midshires was a building society, known as the Birmingham Midshires Building Society.

## History

The Birmingham Midshires was formed on 30 June 1986 by the merger of the Birmingham and Bridgwater and the Midshires Building Societies. These societies could trace their roots back to 1849 and were themselves formed by the mergers of the following societies: Liverpool Building Society, Wolverhampton and Mercia, Bristol Equitable Permanent Benefit, Swansea & Gower Permanent, and the Warrington Workingmens' Permanent.
Birmingham Midshires offered a range of specialist mortgage and savings products.
In 1998, the Birmingham Midshires Building Society agreed to a takeover bid from the Royal Bank of Scotland. However the deal collapsed when Halifax plc tabled a more lucrative offer. Halifax itself became a part of HBOS plc when it merged with the Bank of Scotland in 2001. In 2007, it became a division of Bank of Scotland plc following a reorganisation in the HBOS Group.
When Birmingham Midshires became part of the Halifax in April 1999, it had savings balances of £5.9 billion and mortgage assets of £9.2 billion. BM savings balances later doubled to £12 billion; mortgage assets more than trebled to over £32 billion.
On 15 September 2005 Birmingham Midshires announced it was planning to close 48 of its 67 branches, through a phased programme concluding in March 2006, and the conversion of the remaining outlets to the Halifax brand. Customers were given the option of banking at their nearest Halifax branch and the 470 full and part-time BM employees were offered an alternative role at the company or within the wider Halifax branch network.
In 2008 HBOS plc was taken over by Lloyds Bank and it is now part of the Lloyds Banking Group. Its main headquarters were rebranded as Lloyds, and different sectors and work were moved to and from the site.
It was announced in April 2024 that the former Birmingham Midshires head office would close and all remaining Lloyds Banking Group staff would relocate to the newly-refurbished Colmore Row office in Birmingham by the end of 2025.
As of July 2024, all Birmingham Midshires savings accounts have been closed, and its website states it is closed to new and existing customers for savings and to new customers for mortgages.
# Bennett Hiatt Log House

The Bennett Hiatt Log House, near Renfro Valley, Kentucky, is a log house built in 1828. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

# Antoine River (Arkansas)

The Antoine River is a 50.4-mile-long (81.1 km) tributary of the Little Missouri River in southwestern Arkansas in the United States. Via the Little Missouri, Ouachita and Red rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River. According to the GNIS, it has also been known as Antoine Creek. A short headwater tributary of the river is known as the Little Antoine River.

## Course

The Antoine River rises in northeastern Pike County about 10 miles (16 km) west-southwest of Amity and flows generally south-southeastwardly, past the town of Antoine. For most of its course the river forms the boundary between Pike County and Clark County. The Antoine River joins the Little Missouri River about 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Okolona. For most of its length, the Antoine River crosses the Athens Piedmont Plateau, a series of east–west ridges that serve as the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains. The Antoine River is notable for rapid changes in water level after rains. It is primarily a clear and rocky stream, the last free-flowing river of any size in the Athens Plateau that has not been dammed.

## Tributaries

Most tributaries of the Antoine River are small rocky streams that flow in from the west. These include Wall Creek, Woodall Creek, Camp Creek, Suck Creek, and Wolf Creek on the west, and Little Antoine Creek, Mathews Creek and Brushy Creek on the east. The largest tributary of the Antoine River is Wolf Creek in southern Pike County.
# Mont Lawn Camp

Mont Lawn Camp is a 200-acre summer camp located in the Pocono Mountains in Bushkill, Pennsylvania. Every summer it serves as a sleep-away camp for hundreds of children from underserved neighborhoods in the New York metro area and Philadelphia.
Mont Lawn Camp is owned and operated by The Bowery Mission and is accredited by the American Camping Association and the ECFA. In the offseason the camp is used as a retreat center for church and corporate groups.

## Facilities and activities

Mont Lawn Camp is located adjacent to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and includes 43 buildings, a large lake, pool, chapel, barn and a dining hall. Available activities at Mont Lawn Camp include rock wall, hiking, archery, canoeing, challenge course, and swimming.
The Fort Plenty dining hall operates with support from parent organization The Bowery Mission in New York City. The Diebold Chapel, first dedicated in 1963, was fully renovated in 2007.

## History

In 1894, the Christian Herald established a children's home at Mont Lawn in Upper Nyack, NY to serve children from immigrant families living in the Lower East Side. The first children arrived on by horse-drawn wagonettes after voyaging up the river on the Steamboat Crystenah.
Mont Lawn was the estate of the Rev. Lawrence Jewett, who had been pastor of the First Reformed Church of Piermont in the 1850s. In 1898, the Christian Herald bought the property and incorporated the camp as the Christian Herald Children's Home Association.
On July 4, 1905, a ceremony was held to dedicate a new Children's Temple with Jacob Riis as the chief speaker.
In response to encroaching suburbanization the camp moved to its current home in the Poconos Region of Pennsylvania in 1961. Alfred P. Hampton, known affectionately as "Mr. Al," served as director from 1972 to 1989, after first serving as a camp counselor in 1950.
After the Herald ceased publication in 1992, Mont Lawn Camp continued under the ownership and operation of The Bowery Mission.

# Silver oxide

Silver oxide is the chemical compound with the formula Ag$_2$O. It is a fine black or dark brown powder that is used to prepare other silver compounds.

## Preparation

Silver oxide can be prepared by combining aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and an alkali hydroxide. This reaction does not afford appreciable amounts of silver hydroxide due to the favorable energetics for the following reaction:
    2 AgOH → Ag$_2$O + H$_2$O (pK = 2.875)
With suitably controlled conditions, this reaction can be used to prepare Ag$_2$O powder with properties suitable for several uses including as a fine grained conductive paste filler.

## Structure and properties

Ag$_2$O features linear, two-coordinate Ag centers linked by tetrahedral oxides. It is isostructural with Cu$_2$O. It "dissolves" in solvents that degrade it. It is slightly soluble in water due to the formation of the ion Ag(OH)−2 and possibly related hydrolysis products. It is soluble in ammonia solution, producing active compound of Tollens' reagent. A slurry of Ag$_2$O is readily attacked by acids:
    Ag$_2$O + 2 HX → 2 AgX + H$_2$
where HX = HF, HCl, HBr, HI, or CF$_3$COOH. It will also react with solutions of alkali chlorides to precipitate silver chloride, leaving a solution of the corresponding alkali hydroxide.
Despite the photosensitivity of many silver compounds, silver oxide is not photosensitive, although it readily decomposes at temperatures above 280 °C.

## Applications

This oxide is used in silver-oxide batteries. In organic chemistry, silver oxide is used as a mild oxidizing agent. For example, it oxidizes aldehydes to carboxylic acids.

# Apple River Canyon State Park

Apple River Canyon State Park is an Illinois state park on 297 acres (120 ha) in Jo Daviess County, Illinois, United States. The park was begun with land purchased by the state in 1932, as a result of a prolonged campaign led by botanist Herman Silas Pepoon; with additional acquisitions since, 1,907 acres (772 ha) of land have been preserved to protect much of an 8+1⁄2-mile (13.7 km) long canyon on the Apple River.
The river canyon is part of the Driftless Area of Illinois, a region that was bypassed by the last ice age; "the glacial sweep which ironed out hills and filled valleys in other parts of the state left this area unscratched". During the dramatic events that surrounded the end of the last Ice Age, the Apple River, which once flowed eastward into the Pecatonica River, reversed its original course and began to flow southwest through an erosion gorge to the Mississippi. The result is a deep canyon, part of which is preserved in the Park. Loess covered the landscape and the soils that developed on it are mapped as Lacrescent silty clay loam and Dubuque silt loam.
The Apple River Canyon State Park, and the Land and Water Reserve within the park, offers hiking, fishing, and hunting on parcels of gorge land. There are several hiking trails through the woods with nice views of the river and bluffs, and a tent campground. Smallmouth bass live in the river.
# Brad Voyles

Bradley Roy Voyles (born December 30, 1976) is a former professional baseball pitcher who played for three seasons. He pitched in 40 games for the Kansas City Royals from 2001 to 2003.
Voyles attended Luxemburg-Casco High School in Luxemburg, Wisconsin. He did not pitch for the school's baseball team after his sophomore year because, according to Voyles, he had too little command of his pitches. He entered the workforce after high school and did not plan to attend college until he received a scholarship offer from a Kishwaukee College coach who had only heard of Voyles' performance at a baseball camp. After two years at Kishwaukee, he continued his college baseball career at Lincoln Memorial University. Despite posting an earned run average of 5.06 in 1998, he was selected in that year's Major League Baseball draft in the 45th round by the Atlanta Braves.
Voyles remained in the Braves organization until 2001. In spring training of that year, he broke his ankle and was kept off the field until June. At the trade deadline, with the Braves having lost Rafael Furcal and in need of a shortstop for their playoff push, Voyles was traded along with Alejandro Machado to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Rey Sanchez. Voyles made his Major League debut later that season, allowing only a base on balls in a ninth-inning relief appearance against the Texas Rangers.
# Home bias in trade puzzle

The home bias in trade puzzle is a widely discussed problem in macroeconomics and international finance, first documented by John T. McCallum in an article from 1995.
McCallum showed that for the United States and Canada, inter-province trade is 20 times larger than international trade, holding other determinants of trade fixed. Subsequent estimates by John F. Helliwell and others have whittled this bias down to a factor from 6 to 12. This home bias in trade has later been documented among OECD countries. The preferred explanation for this finding has been the presence of formal and informal trade barriers following national borders. Another possible solution to the fact that domestic trade is 20 times larger than international trade could be that domestically traders speak the same language.
If presence of formal and informal trade barriers following national borders was the sole reason for this puzzle, home bias should not exist on the subnational level. Wolf (2000) finds, however, that home bias is present also within U.S. states.
Maurice Obstfeld and Kenneth Rogoff identify this as one of the six major puzzles in international economics. The others are the Feldstein-Horioka puzzle, the equity home bias puzzle, the consumption correlations puzzle, the purchasing power and exchange rate disconnect puzzle, and the Baxter-Stockman neutrality of exchange rate regime puzzle.

# Aransas River

The Aransas River is a short river in south Texas in the United States. It drains an area of the south Texas coastal plains into the Gulf of Mexico. It rises in Bee County southwest of Beeville and north of Skidmore, from the confluence of three creeks: Olmos, Aransas, and Poesta. It flows generally south and southeast in a highly winding course, entering Copano Bay on the Gulf of Mexico along the Refugio-Aransas county line, approximately 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Rockport.
For some of the period when Texas was a state in Mexico, the Aransas formed the southwestern boundary, separating it from the neighboring Mexican state of Coahuila.
There's good fishing in this river in Woodsboro.
