## Career

Lundsager is known for her abstract landscapes completed primarily in oil paint. She also works with watercolor and sumi ink. Lundsager drips, pours, and splatters paint to create a balance of order among non-objective shapes. Her oil paintings are highly impressionistic but capture the meteorological and topographical changes on a landscape. Lundsager describes her watercolor paintings as "acts of 'hysterical ecstasy'". Lundsager's work is highly influenced by painters Marsden Hartley, Charles Burchfield, and Odilon Redon. Her work is evocative of Yayoi Kusama and her signature infinity nets. Lundsager secured her first solo exhibition at the Stephanie Theodore Gallery in Brooklyn, New York in 1993. In 1995 Lundsager was shown in the Jack Tilton Gallery. She received the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2001. In 2005 Eva Lundsager was exhibited alongside Hans Hoffman in the Greenberg Van Doren gallery.

# Event Mobile Tyres

Event Mobile Tyres was an online tyre retailer in the United Kingdom and the first mobile online tyre retailer to use chip and pin mobile devices in the UK. They were members of the National Tyre Distributors Association.
Event Mobile Tyres had a Head Office and depot in Manchester, a Northern Control Centre in Warrington and a Southern Control Centre in Henley on Thames. Between these 3 locations they operated more than 30 vans that were located strategically around the country.
The vans were assigned to one of the control centres, based on their location, and were stocked daily via a number of key stocking points. All the vans were self-sufficient mobile tyre fitting centres equipped with a compressor, tyre fitting machine, electronic wheel balancer, several vehicle jacks and all the tools of the trade required to do the job.

## Background (1927 - 2003)

In July 1927 the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company established a tyre manufacturing factory in Bushbury, Wolverhampton, England. It was founded on the Bushbury Works site originally belonging to Macfarlane & Robinson Limited, manufacturers of enamel hardware. Goodyear purchased the Bushbury Works Site and associated railway sidings for 75,000 GBP freehold from Macfarlane & Robinson Limited on 11 July 1927. Tyre manufacturing at the site began by December 1927.
George Sproson, an employee at Goodyear’s Wolverhampton factory, left Goodyear in 1930. He purchased a tyre mould and started Hayson Tyre Service Limited, re-moulding tyres.
In August 1970, National Tyre Service Limited, commonly known as National Tyre, purchased Hayson Tyres from George Sproson as part of their buy-out of regional independent tyre companies to form a national network of tyre fitting centres.
In the same year, George Sproson’s son-in-law, Chris Shankland, who at the time was working with Michelin as a National Accounts Manager, began Town and Country Tyre Services with Sproson’s assistance. The company was registered as Town and Country Tyres (London) Limited, and became a successful tyre fitting company with both Chris Shankland and his son, Mark Shankland, as company directors.
Town and Country Tyres were acquired by Kwik-Fit Holdings in February 1994. After the acquisition Mark Shankland became Operations Director at Kwik-Fit Mobile, the company’s mobile tyre fitting division. There he met Gary Moloney, then Control Director at Kwik-Fit Mobile. Using their mobile tyre fitting knowledge and experience, the two of them began Event Mobile Tyres Ltd in 2003.
Event Mobile Tyres filed for administration on 11 April 2018. Administration ended in 2019 and the company ceased operations in 2022.

## Awards

Event Mobile Tyres was honoured with several awards including the Honest John "Outstanding Achievement Award" which is awarded to the UK's most consistently endorsed company in the motor trade.

# Media Identification Code

The Media Identification Code (MID) is used on DVD-R, DVD+R and DVD-RAM discs to identify the manufacturer and to assist the DVD burner to select the best write strategy for the inserted media. The technology is inherited from the ATIP code used on CD-R discs.
If the DVD burner recognizes the discs it means that the disc has been tested by the drive manufacturer to achieve the best possible burn using an optimal write strategy. The strategy is stored in the firmware. Writing to a disc with no MID code or a code that is not recognized can result in inaccurate recording and data read-back problems.

# Melaleuca spicigera

Melaleuca spicigera is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It has wavy, stem-clasping, blue-green leaves and spikes of pink flowers in spring.

## Description

Melaleuca spicigera is a shrub with dark, fibrous bark growing to a height of 2–3 m (7–10 ft) and with branchlets that are covered with soft hairs. Its leaves are arranged alternately, 5–15 mm (0.2–0.6 in) long and 2–6 mm (0.08–0.2 in) wide, heart-shaped to oblong and tapering to a blunt point. The leaves are of a blue-green colour, lack a stalk and are wavy or dished, only rarely flat.
The flowers are a shade of pink to purple and are arranged in short spikes on the sides of the branches. Each spike contains 3 to 29 individual flowers and is up to 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter. The petals are 2.4–3.1 mm (0.09–0.1 in) long and fall off as the flowers mature. The stamens are arranged in five bundles around the flowers and there are 9 to 16 stamens per bundle. The flowering period is in September or October and is followed by fruit which are woody capsules 5–6 mm (0.2–0.2 in) long with teeth around the edges and in clusters along the branches.

## Taxonomy and naming

Melaleuca spicigera was first formally described in 1902 by Spencer Le Marchant Moore in Journal of Botany from a specimen collected by James Drummond in 1843. The specific epithet (spicigera) is from a Latin word spīca meaning “ear of grain” in reference to the flowers being arranged in a spike.

## Distribution and habitat

This melaleuca occurs in and between the Ongerup, Dowerin and Salmon Gums districts in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains and Mallee biogeographic regions. It grows in sandy, clayey or gravelly soils on undulating plains.

## Conservation

Melaleuca spicigera is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.

## Use in horticulture

This species is ornamental and hardy in cultivation in temperate regions, growing in well-drained soils in full sun or semi-shade. It is frost tolerant.
# Export Expansion Finance Act of 1971

With the enactment of the United States Export Expansion Finance Act of 1971, the discount loan facility of the Export-Import Bank (Eximbank) was expanded, along with other programs that supported U.S. exports. The Act amended the earlier Export-Import Bank Act of 1945.

## Improving U.S. Exports

The Export Expansion Finance Act was part of the economic policy of President Richard Nixon, announced on August 15, 1971. The so-called "New Economic Policy' of the Nixon Administration promoted developing economic relation with Soviet Russia. Along with the Smithsonian Agreement, the goal was to improve U.S. exports, improve U.S. economic efficiency, competitiveness of U.S. manufacture in foreign markets and to reduce inflation.

## Eximbank

Under the new law $7.23 billion of loans, guarantees and insurance were authorized by Eximbank in 1972, in support of 9.5 billion in exports, a 1/3 increase over the previous year.
The legislation increased the bank's commitment authority from $13.5 billion to $20 billion.
It also effectively repealed the Fino amendment which prohibited giving Eximbank credits to Communist countries by giving discretionary powers to the office of the President. Romania and the U.S.S.R became eligible for Eximbank credits under the new discretionary powers and $11 million was authorized for Romania in 1972, and $200 million in support of exports to the Soviet Union.

# Lubuge Dam

The Lubuge Dam (Chinese: 鲁布革水电站) is a rock-fill embankment dam on the Huangni River, a tributary of the Nanpan River, located near Lubugexiang in Luoping County on the border of Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces, China. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it supports a 600 MW power station. Construction on the project began in 1982 and it was completed in 1991. Funded by the World Bank, it was the first loan offered by the bank to China's power sector.

## Background

In June 1981, the Government of the People's Republic of China approved the project. Construction on the dam began in 1982 and the river was diverted on 15 November 1985. On 21 November 1988, the dam began to impound the reservoir and the first generator was commissioned on 27 December 1988. The second was commissioned in 1989 and the third in 1990. The fourth and final generator went online on 14 June 1991. The entire project was complete on 31 December 1991. A US$141.4 million World Bank loan helped fund the dam and power station. It was the first World Bank loan for the power sector in China.

## Design

The 101 m (331 ft) rock-fill dam creates a reservoir with a storage capacity of 110,000,000 m$^3$ (89,000 acre⋅ft). To control floods, the dam has three spillways. The main is an intake hold behind the dam with a discharge capacity of 6,424 m$^3$/s (226,900 cu ft/s). The second is a tunnel on the left bank of the dam with a capacity of 1,995 m$^3$/s (70,500 cu ft/s). Finally, the third spillway is tunnel on the right back with a capacity of 1,658 m$^3$/s (58,600 cu ft/s). To produce power water is sent to an underground power station downstream through a 9.4 km (5.8 mi) long headrace tunnel. The power station contains four 150 MW Francis turbine-generators for a total installed capacity of 600 MW.

# First International Topological Conference

The First International Topological Conference was held in Moscow, 4–10 September, 1935. With presentations by topologists from 10 different countries it constituted the first genuinely international meeting devoted to topology in the world history of the mathematical community. Although a previous mathematical conference had been held in Kharkiv, and attended by Jacques Hadamard, this turned out to be the only truly international conference organised under the Stalin regime. Pavel Aleksandrov played a key role in organising the conference. The foreign delegates were accommodated in major hotels across Moscow, although according to André Weil, the principal form of sustenance was Caviar Canapes served in the conference hall, as no food was available in the hotel restaurants.

# Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints John the Baptist and Sebastian

The Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints John the Baptist and Sebastian is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Pietro Perugino, executed in 1493 and housed in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence.

## History

The work was commissioned by Cornelia Salviati, widow of the Venetian merchant Giovanni Martini, and his son Roberto, for the chapel of the convent of San Domenico, Fiesole, which had been perhaps restored by Giuliano da Sangallo a few years before. In 1493 Perugino had married Chiara Fancelli, daughter of the architect Luca Fancelli; the face of the Madonna is a portrait of her.
In 1786 the panel was acquired for 1000 scudi by Peter Leopold, Grand Duke of Tuscany, becoming part of the future Uffizi Gallery. The original chapel was redecorated by a painting by Lorenzo di Credi; the one now in the church is a copy by Garibaldo Ceccarelli.
It was restored in 1995.

## Description

The background, this time featuring two bays, is one of the many porticoes painted by Perugino in the 1480s and 1490s, in works such as the Fano Altarpiece or the Pietà. Also typical is the serene landscape with thin trees.
The Virgin sits on a high throne decorated with grotesques at the base, which also includes the signature PETRVS PERVSINVS PINXIT AN[NO] MCCCCLXXXXIII ('Pietro Perugino painted it, 1493'). She holds the Christ Child on her knees, as he looks towards John the Baptist on the left; John, in turn, points at him. On the right is the common representation of Saint Sebastian martyred by arrows, his contemplative gaze directed to the heavens.
The composition was one of the first examples in Florence of the new style of sacra conversazione elaborated in Venice by Antonello da Messina and Giovanni Bellini a few years before, with a pyramidal development pivoting on the central figure of the Virgin on a high throne. The painting is also one of the first by Perugino in which the Madonna is no longer an elegant maid, but a more mature and severe woman, according to the more sober climate introduced in Florence by Girolamo Savonarola. Another example of this evolution is the Madonna and Child with Saint Catherine of Alexandria in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.

# Quaboag Plantation

Quaboag Plantation was a plantation founded in 1660 in Central Massachusetts that now makes up parts of the towns of Warren and New Braintree, as well as the whole towns of Brookfield, West Brookfield, North Brookfield, and East Brookfield. In 1673, the plantation broke up as the various towns that made up its land became incorporated.

## History

Back as early as 1636, William Pynchon began to have personal and business relationships with the Quaboag Indians (whom the settlement is named after) that lasted 40 years. In 1660, his son John took over business at his Springfield plantation and wanted to build a new plantation that was about halfway between Boston and Springfield, to shorten a long trip that was normally done by ship. John purchased the land in what is now the lands of the Brookfields, Warren, and New Braintree. 20 families from Ipswich, Massachusetts came to settle the new land for the Colony. A garrison was built as well to protect the Europeans from the Natives. The nearest towns at the time were Springfield, a 25-mile journey through the wilderness, and Concord which was 44 miles away. As more and more settlers came from all over Massachusetts Bay Colony, the town eventually became incorporated as the "Township of Brookfield". Two years later though, the town was abandoned after it was ransacked by the Indians fighting for King Philip's War. In 1686, the court was willing to reopen expansion back into the Brookfields and it has been growing ever since.
The name Quaboag is currently used for the Quaboag River, the Quaboag Marathon and other such things around the Brookfield region.
