# 8th Motorized Infantry Division (People's Republic of China)

The 1st Cavalry Division (Chinese: 骑兵第1师) was a division of the People's Liberation Army. It was created in March 1949 under the Regulation of the Redesignations of All Organizations and Units of the Army, issued by Central Military Commission on November 1, 1948, basing on Cavalry Brigade of Jinsui Military District. Its history can be traced to Cavalry Brigade of Shanganning-Jinsui Coalition Army formed in 1942.
The division was a part of 8th Corps. The division took part in the Chinese Civil War, including the Campaign to Suppress Bandits in Northwestern China.
In June 1952, the division absorbed 3rd Cavalry Division and the Cavalry Regiment of Henan Military District.
In August 1962 the division moved to Yecheng, Xinjiang. From January 1963 the division was transferred to Xinjiang Military Region's control.
The division was then composed of:
* 1st Cavalry Regiment;
* 2nd Cavalry Regiment;
* 3rd Cavalry Regiment;
* Artillery Battalion.
In August 1964, the division was converted to a southern division, catalogue B:
* 1st and 2nd Cavalry Regiments were reorganized as infantry regiments, retaining their designations;
* 3rd Cavalry Regiment maintained as a cavalry unit;
* Artillery Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division was expanded to Artillery Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division.
In October 1969, the division was renamed as the 8th Army Division (Chinese: 陆军第8师), and all its regiments were redesignated as follow:
* 22nd Infantry Regiment (former 1st Cavalry);
* 23rd Infantry Regiment (former 2nd Cavalry);
* 24th Infantry Regiment (former 3rd Cavalry);

# Japanese submarine I-34

I-34 was a Kaidai Junsen Type B1 submarine of the Imperial Japanese Navy. During World War II, while on a Yanagi mission between Japan and Germany carrying strategic raw materials and information, she was sunk by the British submarine HMS Taurus using Ultra intelligence.

## Service history
### Commissioning

Her keel was laid down at the Sasebo Dockyard on 1 January 1941; she was launched on 24 September. She was commissioned and assigned to the Kure Naval District on 31 August 1942, with Commander Tonozuka Kinzo in command. Commander Tatsushi Irie (入江達) took command in March 1943.
During early 1943, she took part in supply missions and the eventual evacuation of the garrison of Kiska in the Aleutian Islands.
On 15 September 1943, she was assigned to a Yanagi (exchange) mission to Lorient, France. She arrived in Singapore on 22 October 1943 to take on passengers and cargo for her mission.
I-34 loaded a cargo of raw rubber, tungsten, tin, quinine, medicinal opium and samples of Japanese weapons. She departed for Penang to load passengers on 11 November 1943. Due to a delay in loading the cargo, her passengers opted to meet her at Penang, thus saving them from death.
Unknown to Commander Irie or the crew, her movements were being tracked by Ultra intelligence, and a British submarine was sent to sink her.

### Sinking

She was spotted running on the surface in a rain squall by HMS Taurus (commanded by veteran Captain Mervyn R. G. "Dillinger" Wingfield, DSO, DSC), on 13 November 1943 in the Malacca Straits, 30 nautical miles (56 km) off the coast of Penang at 07:30.
Taurus fired a salvo of six torpedoes of which one struck I-34 below the conning tower, she sank in 100 feet (30 m) of water at 05°17′N 100°05′E﻿ / ﻿5.283°N 100.083°E﻿ / 5.283; 100.083. Of her 94 crew, only 14 survived to be picked up by a local junk. Following the loss of I-34, the IJN rerouted all Europe-bound submarines away from Penang.
I-34 was removed from the Imperial Japanese Navy list in January 1944. Her wreck was salvaged on 4 December 1962 by the Singaporean Great Eastern Salvage Company. Over 50 bodies were found in the wreck and were cremated in a specially erected shrine in Penang. Her bell is on display at the local Mariners Club and some of the recovered documents ("code books") are on display at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum in Gosport.

# Housing, Town Planning, etc. Act 1909

The Housing, Town Planning, etc. Act 1909 (9 Edw. 7. c. 44) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which prevented the building of "back-to-back" houses. The act also meant local authorities must introduce systems of town planning and meant homes had to be built to certain legal standards.
The act was the first piece of British legislation to use the term 'town planning'.$^{:267}$$^{:1}$

## Background

Town planning as a concept had become more popular in Britain at the turn of the 20th century, drawing on the idea of the garden city and the extensions of existing towns occurring in Germany at the time.$^{:290}$ The need for legislation on the subject was prompted by a housing reform movement that had emerged from the debates around poverty and social conditions during the Boer War as well as a decline in house building from 1904.$^{:290}$

## Passage through Parliament

The bill had its first reading in March 1908.$^{:20}$ It was generally welcomed but remained in the committee stage for 23 days, until near the end of the parliamentary session.$^{:21}$ It ended up being withdrawn and resubmitted at the beginning of the next session and considered by a Committee of the Whole House to speed up procedures.$^{:21}$ The new bill's second reading was in April 1909 and when it got to its committee stage, over 360 amendments were proposed.$^{:21}$
The bill moved to the House of Lords in September 1909 where it was notably attacked by Earl Cawdor while the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Birmingham supported it.$^{:21}$ It passed back to the House of Commons in November before being returned and passed by the Lords, a week before the Liberal government collapsed over the People's Budget.$^{:21–22}$

## Responses

Politicians of all parties were sympathetic to the idea of town planning, but curtailing private interests with municipal power was seen as too radical to many and meant the legislation was weaker than planning campaigners had hoped.$^{:20}$ In September 1909, The Builder called the legislation "a strong Bill drawn up by a strong man who wants something done".$^{:21}$

### Legacy

The act has generally been seen both as a pioneering first step and as a disappointment to its drafters and to contemporary campaigners.$^{:267}$$^{:20}$ On one hand, it is noted as an important basis for later legislation. At the same time, the act is criticised as being "virtually inoperative" until the Housing, Town Planning, &c. Act 1919 was passed.$^{:289}$
In 1974, the 65th anniversary of the legislation was marked with a special issue of Planning, the journal of the Royal Town Planning Institute.$^{:267}$

# Sándor Csoóri

Sándor Csoóri (3 February 1930 – 12 September 2016) was a Hungarian poet, essayist, writer, and politician.

## Biography

In 1950, he graduated from the Reformed College in the town of Pápa (hu:Pápai Református Kollégium) and then studied at ELTE Institute, but dropped his studies because of illness. He worked in various journals, such as, during 1953-54, The Literary Newspaper and, from 1955 until 1956, he was the poetry section editor in "The New Sound" periodical. In 1956, he could not find work for a while and then, in 1960, as at the beginning of the Budapest University of Technology and newspaper editorial staff, he was the MAFILM dramaturg from 1968 until 1988.
His first poems appeared in 1953, raising a big stir, being critical of the Rákosi era. The authorities soon noticed that Csoóri was not one of their supporters. He wrote criticizing the dictatorship's impact of personality, and the fate of rural people. He was under surveillance sometimes for years, and did not receive awards. He lived in Budapest, where he met with his friends, including Miklós Jancsó, Ottó Orbán, György Konrád, Ferenc Kósa. In 1988, he was co-editor with Gáspár Nagy, of Hitel, and in 1992 editor-in-chief.
