# Astrid Hjertenæs Andersen

Astrid Hjertenæs Andersen (5 September 1915 – 21 April 1985) was a Norwegian poet and travel-writer. She is a recipient of the Norwegian Critics Prize for Literature (Kritikerprisen), Riksmål Society Literature Prize (Riksmålsprisen), Dobloug Prize (Doblougprisen), and the Norwegian Academy Prize in memory of Thorleif Dahl (Det Norske Akademi for Språk og Litteratur).

## Biography

Astrid Gerd Judith Hjertenæs was born in Horten (now Borre) in Vestfold County, Norway. Her father was a naval officer assigned to Karljohansvern. She attended a secretary and journalist school for women (Hallings sekretær- og journalistskole for damer). She later worked as a typist and journalist for Aftenposten, Norway's largest newspaper. In 1939, she married the painter Snorre Andersen (1914–1979), who later illustrated several of her poetry collections. Her work contained nature poems written to her husband's watercolors.
Dating from 1942, she devoted herself entirely writing. Her poems appeared often in both Aftenposten and Dagbladet. From the 1950s, Andersen wrote in the modernist direction of Norwegian post-war poetry. She had studied American poetry and drama during a one-year scholarship at Yale University. The poems show a clear connection to the symbolism of the past century and were often inspired by music and visual art. A strong personal artistic style, often with the use of free forms, together with the suggestive use of images and symbols, characterize her writings.

## Awards

Astrid Andersen was awarded the Norwegian Critics Prize for Literature (Kritikerprisen) in 1964, Riksmål Society Literature Prize (Riksmålsprisen) in 1976 and Dobloug Prize (Doblougprisen) in 1984. Additionally in 1984, she received the Norwegian Academy Prize in memory of Thorleif Dahl (Det Norske Akademi for Språk og Litteratur).

# Attendorf

Attendorf is a former municipality in the district of Graz-Umgebung in the Austrian state of Styria. Since the 2015 Styria municipal structural reform, it is part of the municipality Hitzendorf.

## Geography

# Attarsuiya

Attarsuiya is a locality (township) of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. Attarsuiya is just 2 km away from Railway station. Nearby localities are Rani Mandi, Atala & Meerapur. Attarsuiya is named after scholar Atri and his wife Anasuya.
# Attarwala

The Attarwala are a Muslim community found mostly in the state of Gujarat in India.

## History and origin

The Attarwala claim to be descended from a group of Mughal Hazara soldiers who were initially settled in Agra, during the rule of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. According to their recorded documents, they then migrated to Ahmedabad via Gwalior, Ratlam and Godhra. This migration followed their participation in the community in the 1857 Indian War Independence. Once settled in Gujarat, India, the community took up the occupation of manufacturing perfumes known as ittars. The word attarwala means the manufacturer of perfumes. A second migration took place in 1947 from Agra, after the partition of India, with some members immigrating to Pakistan, while others joining their co-ethnics in Ahmedabad. The Attarwala are now found mainly in Ahmedabad, India and some of them in Karachi, Pakistan.

## Present circumstances

The Attarwala are distinct from other Gujarati Muslims, as their mother tongue is Urdu. They are divided into fourteen lineages, the main ones being the Peer Baksh, Ammer Ali, Khorata, Mandusa, Hussainsa, Zahur Hussain, Mohammad Hussain, Khodar Baksh, Barkhan, Mashoob Khan and Ghulam Khan. These lineages are named after an ancestor. There is no system of clan hierarchy, and all the clans intermarry. The community marries among close kin and practice both cross-cousin and parallel-cousin marriages.
The Attarwala are a landless community and are still involved in the manufacture of attar, the traditional perfume of North India. Many now are wage labourers, involved in pulling a rickshaw. They are Shia Muslims and have their own caste association, the Shia Jafria Attarwala Jamat. The caste association runs a madrasa as well as other welfare activities.
# Shorea singkawang

# Anquirinnia gens

The gens Anquirinnia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. No members of this gens are mentioned in history, but several are known from inscriptions.

## Origin

The only inscriptions of the Anquirinni place them in the neighborhood of Pisae in Etruria, suggesting that they were of Etruscan origin. nomina ending in -inius frequently arose from other gentilicia, of which a number are known to have been of Etruscan origin. This may indicate that the nomen was originally Anquirinna, with the typical Etruscan ending -inna.

## Praenomina

From the scant epigraphic record, it seems that Quintus was likely the chief praenomen of the Anquirinni, although the same inscriptions also indicate that they used Lucius, Sextus, and Titus. All of these names were common throughout Roman history.

## Branches and cognomina

The only cognomina known from this family are Secundus and Severus, both common surnames throughout most of Roman history. Secundus, meaning "second", is part of a class of names indicating the relation or character of the bearer, and might have been bestowed upon a second child or second son, or to distinguish the bearer from a father of the same name. Severus, "severe", belongs to a class of surnames derived from the bearer's traits, and would originally have indicated someone known for his stern manner or expression.

## Members

    This list includes abbreviated praenomina. For an explanation of this practice, see filiation.
* Sextus Anquirinnius L. f., formerly a soldier in the Nineteenth legion, commemorated by a monument at Portus Pisanus in Etruria, inscribed from the proceeds of a legacy left to Quintus and Titus Anquirinnius.
* Quintus Anquirinnius, along with Titus Anquirinnius, placed a monument at Portus Pisanus in memory of Sextus Anquirinnius, perhaps their brother or father.
* Titus Anquirinnius, along with Quintus Anquirinnius, placed a monument at Portus Pisanus in memory of Sextus Anquirinnius, perhaps their brother or father.
* Quintus Anquirinnius Secundus, along with his wife, Occia Agile, built a tomb at Pisae in Etruria, dating from the first half of the first century, for Quintus Anquirinnius Severus, probably their son.
* Quintus Anquirinnius Q. f. Severus, one of the seviri Augustales, buried at Pisae, in a tomb built by Quintus Anquirinnius Secundus and his wife, Occia Agile, likely Severus' parents, dating from the first half of the first century.

# Bridge Street, Warrington

Bridge Street is one of the main thoroughfares of Warrington, Cheshire, England, linking the town centre to Warrington Bridge across the River Mersey.
The location earned nationwide recognition in the aftermath of the Warrington bombings of 1993, where 2 people were killed and another 56 people were injured.

## History

In the 18th century, John Howard lodged at a silver smiths on Bridge Street whilst printing his works on prison reform, as commemorated in a plaque erected by the Warrington Society in 1906. One of the buildings to house the Warrington Academy was located at the street's southern end.
The street was widened in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and formed part of the Warrington Corporation Tramways network. It was the site of a fatal IRA bomb attack in 1993. A public art installation, the River of Life, has been located in Bridge Street since 1996 as a memorial to those killed and injured.

## Architecture

The faience-clad elevations of on the western frontage of upper Bridge Street are a particularly noteworthy examples of late Victorian and Edwardian architectural elegance. Above street level these remain largely unaltered. A rebuilt version of the Warrington Academy currently houses the offices of the Warrington Guardian.

## Conservation area

A conservation area based on Bridge Street was designated in 1980. This was extended in 1995 to include the former Garnett Cabinet Works on the adjacent Barbauld Street.
