# David Weightman (rower)

David J. Weightman (born 28 September 1971, in Brisbane) is an Australian former rower. He was a national champion and representative at World Rowing Championships, an Olympian and an Olympic silver medallist.

## Club and state rowing

Weightman grew up in Brisbane and attended Brisbane Grammar School where he learnt to row in 1984. His senior rowing was with the University of Queensland Boat Club in Brisbane and the Mosman Rowing Club in Sydney. Weightman was a scholarship holder at the Australian Institute of Sport from 1993 to 1996 and was based in Canberra.
Weightman first made state selection for Queensland in the 1990 youth eight contesting the Noel Wilkinson Trophy at the Interstate Regatta within the Australian Rowing Championships. In 1991 he was selected to the Queensland senior men's eight to compete for the King's Cup at the Interstate Regatta. He made further King's Cup crews for Queensland in 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000.
Weightman contested national championship titles at the Australian Rowing Championships on a number of occasions. In UQBC colours in 1996 he won the national coxless pair title (the Ted Bromley Memorial Trophy) with Rob Scott. In 2000 wearing Mosman Rowing Club colours he again won that Australian championship title.

## International representative rowing

Weightman made his international debut in 1989 at the Junior World Rowing Championships in Hungary where he took fourth place in the Australian junior coxed four.
In the Australian men's eight he competed at World Rowing Championships in Vienna 1991 (to a tenth placing) and Tampere 1995 (to eleventh place). He rowed in the Australian men's coxed four at the World Championships in Racice 1993 and Indianapolis 1994 both times to a fifth placing.
In 1996 he was selected to contest the 1996 Atlanta Olympics with Rob Scott in the Australian men's coxless pair. The pair believed they had a real chance of gold and threw everything at their opponents in the final 500m of a thrilling race but had to be content with second place and a silver medal behind the champion British pair of Steve Redgrave and Matthew Pinsent.
Weightman and Scott paired up again toward the end of the next Olympiad in a campaign for Sydney 2000. They raced as a coxless pair at two World Rowing Cups in Europe in 1999 and again in 2000. They placed third in the first outing but finished sixth in those other regattas. They weren't picked to the Australian squad for the 1999 World Championships and ultimately did not qualify for Sydney 2000.
# Crocheted lace

Crochet lace is an application of the art of crochet. Generally it uses finer threads and more decorative styles of stitching, often with flowing lines or scalloped edges to give interest. Variation of the size of the holes also gives a piece a "lacy" look.
Originally crocheted lace was not regarded as true lace. Crocheting was considered an easy, and less time-consuming, but otherwise clearly inferior surrogate for "true" lace such as bobbin lace, needle lace or netting. The first examples of crocheted lace try to reproduce the products of other lacemaking techniques as faithfully as possible. Over time, the many possibilities and inherent beauty of crocheted lace became more widely appreciated.
Main styles of crocheted lace include filet crochet, Irish crochet and its modern derivatives, pineapple crochet. Freeform crocheted lace also exists, examples of which are pieces striving to imitate reticella lace.

# National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency

The National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) is an agency under the Federal Ministry of Environment in Nigeria. It was instituted by the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria act of 2006 with the core mandate to oversee the implementation of the National Oil Spill Contingency Plan (NOSCP) which also incorporates the National Oil Spill Contingency System (NOSCS) for Nigeria. This is to ensure compliance to Nigeria's signatory to the International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Cooperation (OPRC, 1990). Therefore, the agency has focused on building conformance with environment legislation in the Nigerian petroleum sector from inception. NOSDRA is the lead agency for other oil spill contingency plans in Nigeria, including the ports and industries. It fulfils its mandate through joint investigation visits, environmental remediation of impacted sites, monitoring oil spill drill exercises and facilitating inspections.
These activities are carried out across the country through their zonal offices located mostly in the Niger-Delta region including Port Harcourt, Warri, and Uyo where oil exploration and production are prevalent. They also have zonal offices in Lagos, Kaduna, Kogi, Gombe and Akure, with their headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria. However, the agency implements tier 3 oil spill response monitoring from its national control and response centre. They employ the oil spill monitor and gas flare tracker in reporting oil and gas pollution related matters. The frequency of oil spill incidents recorded by the agency prompted them to commence the development of a National Oil Spill Compensation Rate (NOSCR) in 2017 to guide the oil industry in establishing an acceptable and appropriate compensation to host and transit oil communities.
The agency prioritizes high-risk areas for protection and effective clean-up with the aid of a baseline environmental sensitivity index map (ESI) and covers the midstream and downstream in its environmental compliance monitoring role. Despite the scope of the NOSDRA, it is perceived not to be exhaustive and resulted in a demand for amendment in 2017. The amendment proposed to replace it with the National Oil Pollution Management Agency (NOPMA) and to expand its provisions to tackle not only oil spillage, but also oily waste, gas flare and obnoxious substances in the country's petroleum sector. It also calls for provisions to regulate all tiers of oil spills, increased fines and penalties for polluters and improved funding. The amendment bill passed by the Nigerian National Assembly in 2019 was refused by the president, Muhammadu Buhari as a result of the observations in the proposed legislation.

# Sarai Banjara train disaster

The Sarai Banjara rail disaster occurred on 2 December 2000, when a derailed freight train crossed onto the opposite track early in the morning in Punjab, India. A Howrah–Amritsar Express a passenger train coming from other direction hit the freight train head-on at speed, killing 46 people and injuring at least 150.
The accident started when a cracked rail on the line between Mandi Gobindgarh and Rajpura in Punjab derailed a large freight train at 5.40 am without causing any injuries. The derailed train was covering both sides of the track, and so the driver dismounted to give a warning. As he was walking to the train office in Sarai Banjara railway station, the Howrah Mail train traveling between Calcutta and Amritsar crashed into the derailed freight train head-on at high speed.
Although the wreckage did not catch fire, the devastation was serious, with jack-knifed carriages, twisted metal, and the sheer number of injured people hampering the immediate rescue efforts. Ambulances arrived to take the injured to hospital, whilst local people, working alongside railway officials and emergency services tried to free the survivors trapped in the wreckage.
The final death toll was given as 46 killed and over 150 injured in the crash, although there have been some claims that over 50 people were killed. As is the custom in India, the rail authorities promised by way of compensation: 15,000 rupees to the families of the dead, 5,000 rupees to those seriously injured, and 500 to those with minor injuries.
Some politicians involved in the investigation initially believed that sabotage may have caused the goods train to derail, but a subsequent investigation concluded that the accident was entirely the result of poor track maintenance, combined with an inefficient warning system in case of emergency. The sabotage claim has been suggested by some as a ruse to disguise the dilapidated state of India's rail network.
Following the crash, the Hindustan Times ran an editorial, which commented:
"Indian Railways possibly runs the most unsafe service in the world. If the trains aren't killing people in collisions, then they are running over people at manned and unmanned crossings ... the body count is too high for anyone to feel safe in a train."
The site of the crash was not far from that of the Khanna rail disaster of 1998, in which 211 people were killed.

# Battle of Sayyd Alma Kalay

vteWar in Afghanistan (2001–2021) :
The Battle of Sayyd Alma Kalay that took place near the Arghandab River in Afghanistan during the United States invasion of Afghanistan. The Taliban were defeated by the United States and its Afghan allies, setting the stage for the Fall of Kandahar.

## Battle

On 3 December 2001, following previous combat at the Battle of Shawali Kowt, as the Afghans scaled to the top of a ridge overlooking the Taliban-controlled town of Sayyd Alma Kalay, they were hit by machine gun fire and RPGs. The Afghans began retreating, so Captain Jason Amerine and his men ran forward and fired down on the enemy. Despite being exposed to intense fire, Sgt. Alan Yoshida, the air-combat controller, advanced toward the hilltop and directed airstrikes that wiped out three Taliban positions. The battle continued on 4 December, and Amerine's team finally drove off the Taliban and took control of the town and bridge while Hamid Karzai's men held the ridge. As combat eased, the leaders from the army's Third Battalion headquarters arrived by helicopter on 5 December to give Amerine and his men a break. For the first time in weeks, they received care packages and letters from home. After this, the Taliban planned to formally surrender Kandahar Province.
# Orto Botanico dell'Università di Genova

The Orto Botanico dell'Università di Genova (1 hectare), also known as the Orto Botanico di Genova, is a botanical garden operated by the University of Genoa, and located at Corso Dogali, Genoa, Liguria, Italy.
The garden was established in 1803 by Professor Domenico Viviani on the former estate of the Jesuit College of St. Jerome in Balbi. By 1819 its catalog listed 1011 taxa, of which 60% were medicinal plants of European origin. It was extended in 1835 by an additional 4,000 square metres spread over two large terraces. The first large greenhouse was built in 1859, and in 1865 additional land was purchased to bring the garden to its current size of about 10,000 m².
Today the garden contains about 4000 specimens, representing about 2000 taxa. Some date back a century or more, including fine specimens of Cedrus libani, Cupressus sempervirens, Firmiana simplex, Gleditsia triacanthos, and Sequoia sempervirens, as well as Angiopteris evecta, Arbutus canariensis, Cibotium regale, Cibotium schiedei, Diospyros kaki, Ginkgo biloba, Peumus boldus, Phoenix canariensis, Phytolacca dioica, Quercus laurifolia, and Washingtonia filifera.
The garden's six greenhouses cover about 1,000 m² on three floors, with contents as follows: ferns; tropical plants including 25 Ficus varieties and a Ravenala madagascariensis; tropical aquatic plants; succulents including 30 Euphorbia species; herbaceous plants including Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae; and a Cycadaceae collection.
