# Wellington Town Hall, Somerset

Wellington Town Hall is a municipal building in Fore Street, Wellington, Somerset, England. The structure, which was previously used as a civic events venue, is a Grade II listed building.

## History

The first municipal building in the town was a market hall which was located in the middle of the street at the junction of South Street and Fore Street and dated back to the late 17th century. It contained a courtroom and a lock-up but by the early 19th century it was regarded by civic leaders as an obstruction to the highway and was demolished.
In 1814, the lord of the manor, the Duke of Wellington, agreed to grant a long lease to a group of local businessmen who intended to erect a new municipal building. Their objective was to provide proper accommodation for the farmers' stalls which continued to block the highway. The new building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1833. The building was originally open on the ground floor, so that markets could be held, with an assembly room on the first floor. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto Fore Street; there was an arcade of five round headed sash windows on the first floor and, at roof level, there was a cornice, a parapet and a small sculpted pediment containing a clock. Internally, the principal rooms were the assembly hall, which was used for concerts and public events, and a smaller room, which was used as a library and reading room by the Wellington Literary Institute. The assembly room also became the venue for county court hearings.
In 1876, the lease was surrendered to the then lord of the manor, the 2nd Duke of Wellington, and, in 1884, the freehold of the property was acquired by a newly formed entity, the Wellington Market and Town Hall Company, which carried out internal improvements to the building. Following a significant increase in population, largely associated with the status of Wellington as a market town, the area became an urban district in 1894. Animated pictures were first shown in the town hall in 1896. The council continued to use the town hall as a venue for civic events but located its council officers and their departments at council offices further southwest along Fore Street. The building became the Rex Cinema in 1938 and suffered a serious fire while being used as a cinema during the 1940s.
After the cinema closed in the 1950s, the condition of the building began to deteriorate and demolition was seriously considered in the 1960s. Following a refurbishment the building became the offices of Wellington Weekly News, but by the early 21st century it was being used as a clothes shop and as the offices of an estate agent and a firm of accountants. After another refurbishment, undertaken at a cost of £2.3 million, the building re-opened as a Wetherspoons public house named as the Iron Duke, recalling the nickname for the 1st Duke of Wellington, in August 2016.
# Sukhoi Su-29

The Sukhoi Su-29 is a Russian two-seat aerobatic aircraft with a 268 kW (360 hp) radial engine. It was designed based on the Su-26 and inherited most of the design and technical features of its predecessor. Due to wide use of composite materials, which make up as much as 60% of the Su-29's aircraft structure, the empty weight is increased by only 50 kg (110 lb) over the single-seat Su-26's empty weight.
The Su-29 is used for initial pilot aerobatics education, flight training, and participation of pilots in aerobatics competitions and air shows, as well as for maintaining flight skills of military and civil pilots.

# Franz Rydz

Franz Rydz (27 May 1927 – 20 November 1989) was a high-ranking East German sports official and party functionary of the Socialist Unity Party (SED).
Rydz started his career in the SED apparatus, later serving as a high-ranking official in several East German sports organizations, including as vice president of the German Gymnastics and Sports Federation and the German Football Association of the GDR.
Early on during the Peaceful Revolution, Rydz shot himself.

## Life and career
### Early career

Rydz was born in 1927 in Salsitz.

### Sports official

After the establishment of the GDR, he served as chairman of the State Sports Committee of Saxony-Anhalt from 1950 to 1952.
After attending the SED's "Karl Marx" Party Academy, he joined the apparatus of the Central Committee of the SED as head of the Youth and Sports Sector in the LOPMO Department in 1953, reorganized as Sports Sector in the Security Affairs Department in August 1955. This made him the highest-ranking party official for sports at the time.
In May 1959, he was transferred to the German Gymnastics and Sports Federation (German: Deutscher Turn- und Sportbund) (DTSB), the recently created mass organization for all East German sports. He initially joined the DTSB as secretary, being promoted to vice president with responsibility for finance in 1966. Additionally, he was a member of the Central Council of the Free German Youth from 1959 to 1976.
Furthermore, he was vice president of the German Football Association of the GDR starting in 1961 and, from 1970, treasurer of the Presidium of the National Olympic Committee of the GDR.
Among the leading East German sports officials, Rydz was more open towards what the SED deemed "commercialization", culminating in him signing an advertising contract with West German sports apparel company adidas in May 1982 as DTSB vice president. Rydz had already been accused of repeatedly been to West Germany to buy shoes for top GDR athletes in 1970.
In the early 1970s, Rydz unsuccessfully tried to pressure East Germany national football team member Jürgen Croy to transfer from his club BSG Sachsenring Zwickau to a more prominent club.
Rydz was awarded the Patriotic Order of Merit in Bronze in 1955, in Silver in 1969 and in Gold in 1977, as well as the Banner of Labor in 1973.

### Death

Early on during the Peaceful Revolution, Rydz destroyed documents and on 20 November 1989, he shot himself. After his death 291,000 West German marks in cash were found in his East Berlin office. The cash is said to have been used to buy sports equipment and medicines in the West, among other things. Rydz was one of several mid-level SED functionaries to commit suicide during the Peaceful Revolution.
After German reunification, many high-ranking East German sports officials were convicted for their involvement in the mass doping of East German athletes.

# BAPTA

BAPTA (1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid) is a calcium-specific aminopolycarboxylic acid. The presence of four carboxylic acid functional groups makes possible the binding of two calcium ions. The extensive flexibility of the carboxylate ligands is critical to the coordination of calcium and other metal ions. Due to its properties, it is used in research to chelate Ca$^{2+}$, similarly to EGTA and EDTA.
There is a range of reported values for the dissociation constant of BAPTA, though 0.2 μM appears consistently. The rate constant for calcium binding is 500 μM$^{−1}$ s$^{−1}$. The complexation process of calcium ion to BAPTA can be deconvoluted into three main processes: conformational changes of the glicol linker, nitrogen conjugation and electronic effects changes of the benzene rings.
BAPTA is a component of some fluorescent calcium ion indicators such as Calcium Green and Oregon Green 488 BAPTA-1 and -2 (OGB-1, OGB2). These indicators change their fluorescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime depending on the calcium ion concentration.
# Ader Avion III

The Avion III (sometimes referred to as the Aquilon or the Éole III) was a steam-powered aircraft built by Clément Ader between 1892 and 1897, financed by the French War Office.
Retaining the same bat-like configuration of the Éole, the Avion III was equipped with two engines driving two propellers. While the earlier aircraft had no means of directional control at all, this one was equipped with a rudder.
Trials began at the Satory army base near Versailles on 12 October 1897, with the aircraft taxiing along a circular track. On 14 October 1897, it left the track, turned halfway around, and then stopped, but did not take flight. Later in his life, Ader claimed that there had been a flight of 100 m (328 ft) on this day, and said he had two witnesses to confirm it. Regardless, the French military was unimpressed with the demonstration and cancelled any further funding.
The machine is preserved at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris. It underwent extensive restoration in the 1980s.

# Aero A.100

The Aero A.100 was a biplane light bomber and reconnaissance aircraft built in Czechoslovakia during the 1930s. It was the final step in a design lineage that extended back to the Aero A.11 a decade earlier. A.100s remained in service throughout World War II and for a few years postwar.

## Design and development

Development of the A.100 was in response to a Czechoslovak Air Force requirement of 1932 for a uniform replacement for the A.11s, Aero Ap.32s, and Letov Š.16s then in service. Work began with a revision of the Aero A.430 that quickly became quite a different aircraft. Of standard biplane configuration, the A.100 was a somewhat ungainly-looking aircraft which was obsolescent by the time of its first flight in 1933, becoming a member of the final generation of biplane military aircraft to be designed in Europe.

## Operational history

Nevertheless, since the only other competitor for the air force contract, the Praga E.36, had not flown by the close of tenders, the A.100 was ordered for production. A total of 44 were built, in two batches.

## Further development

The Aero A.100 was later developed into Aero A.101 with Praga Isotta Fraschini Asso 1000 RV engine (800 h.p.), first flying in December 1934, this type served in the Spanish Civil War curiously on both sides of the conflict. Further development led to Aero Ab.101 (enlarged hull and wings plus Avia Hispano Suiza HS 12 Ydrs engine rated 860 h.p.) produced from 1936 to 1937 and serving in the Czechoslovak Air Force up to its dissolution in March 1939. Final stage of the development was Aero A.104, where Ab.101 was converted to a high-wing monoplane with enclosed cockpit, only one prototype was built in 1937.

### Critical reception

The Times of India wrote "Given that the horror-comedy wave is now at its ebb, Sanguchakkaram feels late by at least two-three years. It doesn't help that Maarison deals mostly with cliches to tell us his story." New Indian Express wrote "Sangu Chakkaram offers nothing radical in terms of story, but there are certain redemptive moments".

# Hansa-Brandenburg W.12

The Hansa-Brandenburg W.12 was a German biplane fighter floatplane of World War I. Ernst Heinkel's KDW was redesigned, with a rear cockpit, reshaped tailfin, and rudder.
The W.12s (under the Naval designation C3MG) served on the Western Front, based at the Naval air bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge. The aircraft had some success, and one shot down the British airship C.27.
In April 1918, a W.12 made an emergency landing in the neutral territory of the Netherlands, where it was interned and flight tested by the Dutch. In 1919 the government of the Netherlands bought a licence to build the aircraft. 35 W.12s were subsequently manufactured by the Van Berkel company of Rotterdam as the W-A, serving with the Dutch Naval Air Service until 1933.

## Sights

The Church of the Annunciation dates from 1384. The original wooden church gave the town its name and was later replaced by a stone one. It was extended and remodelled in the Baroque style in 1631 and 1763. After a fire in 1821, only one of its two towers was reconstructed.
A small fortress surrounded by moats was built in the 14th century. Between 1411 and 1655, it was gradually rebuilt in the Renaissance style. In 1720 and 1734, it was rebuilt into its current Baroque form.
