# Crowne Plaza Seattle-Downtown

The Crowne Plaza Seattle-Downtown is a 34-story hotel in downtown Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington.

## Description and history

The building was completed in 1980 and renovated in 2019. Close to the Seattle Convention Center and generally geared towards business travelers, the Crowne Plaza Seattle has 415 rooms and suites. The hotel has a gym and the restaurant Regatta Bar & Grille.
Crowne Plaza Seattle is affiliated with IHG Hotels & Resorts and has been ranked number 48 in U.S. News & World Report's list of the best Seattle hotels. Lonely Planet says, "This 34-floor downtown skyscraper is more business-like than ostentatious, although a 2014 renovation has upped its ante somewhat.

# Fengshanche

Fengshanche (Chinese: 風扇車; pinyin: fēngshànchē; lit. 'wind fan vehicle') was a winnowing machine that was used in ancient China to separate the grain from the chaff or seed casings after harvest. The winnowing machine also had a rotary fan which had a blower that had a crank handle to create air to blow away the lighter seed casings to separate the husks from the pile of grain.

## Overview

Based on the archaeological evidence provided by pottery models of the winnowing machine, the winnowing machine was constructed within the courtyard wall that had querns and trip hammers placed near it. The machine also had a crank operated rotary fan with four blades, an air inlet, and hopper as well as a box, crank, and vanes. The device was able to be operated by hands or feet. The crank consists of four to six vanes that are made of thin boards. When operated, grains are placed in the gap through the funnel where they fall down. The vanes would then spin and then separate the lighter husks by blowing them away with the grains with no husks that would fall to box's bottom.

## History

The winnowing machine was referred and applied to grain cleaning based on the references in the book of Jijiupian during the Western Han dynasty. The pottery winnower model was used as a funeral object in the Central Plains. The ancient Chinese used their other invention of the crank handle and a rotary centrifugal fan and applied it to the design of the winnowing machine. Evidence of the rotary fan winnowing machine that makes use of the centrifugal principle can be traced back to the Western Han dynasty with archaeological evidence provided by pottery models of the winnowing machine excavated from Western Han tombs in Luoyang, Henan in the early 1970s.

# Percival Allen

Percival Allen FRS (15 March 1917 – 3 April 2008) was a British geologist. Served as Professor and Head of Department at Reading from 1952 and became an Emeritus Professor on his retirement in 1982. He was awarded an honorary DSc in 1992.
Professor Allen organised the founding meeting of the British Sedimentological Research Group held in Reading on 16–17 November 1962, to celebrate the opening of that university’s new Sedimentology Research Laboratory.
In March 1973, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. His application citation read: "Distinguished for his investigations of Lower Cretaceous sedimentation in north-western Europe. His reconstructions of Wealden palaeography and depositional environments have been based on meticulous examination and analysis of faecies changes, sedimentary structures and petrology combined with a study of modern deltaic and littoral sedimentation. He has stimulated much research along similar lines in other formations, notably the Torridonian. He was a pioneer in the application of statistical methods to sedimentary models. At Reading he has built up an outstanding school of sedimentology."
The Percival Allen Medal Award was established in 2006 by the Association of European Geological Societies Executive Committee and is awarded biennially to a geoscientist for outstanding achievements in the field of international relations in Earth Science.

# Min Xu

Min Xu (閔勗) (d. 886), courtesy name Gongjin (公謹), was a warlord late in the Chinese dynasty Tang dynasty, who controlled a substantial part, as well as Tan Prefecture (in modern Changsha, Hunan), the capital of Hunan Circuit (湖南), first as its governor (觀察使, Guanchashi) and then as the military governor (jiedushi), from 882 to 886. He was assassinated in 886.

## Background and takeover of Hunan region

Little is known about Min Xu's background, as neither of the official histories of the Tang dynasty (the Old Book of Tang and the New Book of Tang) contained a biography for him. It is known that he was originally an officer from Jiangxi Circuit (江西, headquartered in modern Nanchang, Jiangxi), whose soldiers were stationed at neighboring Hunan Circuit as of 881. Around the new year 882, when Min's assignment was apparently completed and he was set to return to Jiangxi with his soldiers, he went through Hunan's capital Tan Prefecture. While there, he expelled Hunan's governor Li Yu (李裕) and seized power himself, claiming the title of acting governor.

## Rule of Hunan and death

As of summer 882, the imperial government under then-reigning Emperor Xizong must have confirmed Min Xu's takeover, for he was referred to by that point as full governor. After being made governor, he made numerous requests for the post to be upgraded to the more prestigious position of military governor, but the imperial government rejected the overture, believing that granting Min's request would lead to other circuits not yet at military governor status making the requests. However, around the same time, the agrarian rebel leader Zhong Chuan, whom the imperial government had previously tried to enlist into the imperial camp by making him the prefect of Fu Prefecture (撫州, in modern Fuzhou, Jiangxi), had taken over Jiangxi's capital Hong Prefecture (洪州) and expelled Jiangxi's governor Gao Maoqing (高茂卿). The imperial government wanted to put Min and Zhong into conflict with each other, and therefore upgraded Jiangxi to Zhennan Circuit (鎮南) as a military governor post and commissioned Min as the military governor of Zhennan, ordering him to return to Zhennan to expel Zhong. Min, knowing the imperial government's intent, refused to launch his forces.
In fall 883, Emperor Xizong promoted Hunan to the military governor–level Qinhua Circuit and made Min its military governor.
In summer 886, Zhou Yue the prefect of Heng Prefecture (modern Hengyang in Hunan), formally a subordinate of Min's, attacked Tan Prefecture. At that time, Huang Hao (黃皓), one of the generals under Qin Zongquan, who had claimed imperial title at Cai Prefecture (蔡州, in modern Zhumadian, Henan), was in the region. Min, for reasons unclear to history, invited Huang into Tan Prefecture to assist in defending against Zhou's attack. Once Huang entered Tan Prefecture, however, he killed Min and seized control. Zhou, soon thereafter, captured Tan Prefecture and put Huang to death, taking over control of the circuit (which was then renamed Wu'an (武安)).
# Euphorbia serrata

Euphorbia serrata is a species of spurge known by the common names serrated spurge and sawtooth spurge, and also known as Tintern spurge and upright spurge. It is native to Europe but it is present elsewhere as a weedy introduced species. This is a perennial herb growing anywhere from 20 centimetres to about half a metre in height. The leaves are long and very narrow on most of the plant, with more oval-shaped leaves toward the tips of the stems. They are finely toothed. At the ends of the branches are inflorescences of tiny flowers. The fruit is a spherical capsule about half a centimetre wide containing tiny gray seeds.
# Parvoscincus aurorus

Parvoscincus aurorus is a species of skink found in the Philippines.

## Habitat

Parvoscincus Aurorus' are generally found at the higher elevations of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range, in Aurora province.
# Envelope (motion)

In mechanical engineering, an envelope is a solid representing all positions which may be occupied by an object during its normal range of motion.
Another (jargon) word for this is a "flop".

## Wheel envelope

In automobile design, a wheel envelope may be used to model all positions a wheel and tire combo may be expected to occupy during driving. This will take into account the maximum jounce and rebound allowed by the suspension system and the maximum turn and tilt allowed by the steering mechanism. Minimum and maximum tire inflation pressures and wear conditions may also be considered when generating the envelope.
This envelope is then compared with the wheel housing and other components in the area to perform an interference/collision analysis. The results of this analysis tell the engineers whether that wheel/tire combo will strike the housing and components under normal driving conditions. If so, either a redesign is in order, or that wheel/tire combo will not be recommended.
A different wheel envelope must be generated for each wheel/tire combo for which the vehicle is rated. Much of this analysis is done using CAD/CAE systems running on computers. Of course, high speed collisions, during an accident, are not considered "normal driving conditions", so the wheel and tire may very well contact other parts of the vehicle at that time.

## Robot's working envelope

In robotics, the working envelope or work area is the volume of working or reaching space. Some factors of a robot's design (configurations, axes or degrees of freedom) influence its working envelope.

# MOWAG-AEG
## History and development

In cooperation with AEG built MOWAG 37 aircraft tug named Flz Sch 4x2 for the Swiss Air Force. The vehicles were used primarily to move the Dassault Mirage IIIS and Mirage III RS in and out of the aircraft caverns. A special feature compared to other aircraft tugs (e.g. Bucher aircraft tractor) was that in these, the aircraft could be suspended during the journey of the towing hook to keep the time between leaving the cavern and the lift off of the Mirage short.
The Mirage began immediately upon leaving the "Vorstollens" to start their engine. Once the engine was running, the latch was released by the tractor driver and he drove from the plane away and turned to the right, so the Mirage freely under its own power could roll on the taxiway to the runway.
The aircraft tractors were in use from 1967 to 2003 by the Swiss Air Force. One is now part of the Military museum Full.
# Paarden Eiland

Paarden Eiland (lit. island of horses) is a light industrial area of Cape Town, South Africa. It is located on the Table Bay coast about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the city centre.

## History

The area which is now Paarden Eiland is located at the mouth of the Salt River and Black River and was originally inhabited by the indigenous ǃUriǁʼaekua people ("Goringhaiqua" in Dutch approximate spelling). It was the approximate location of the Battle of Salt River in 1510, the first military encounter between Europeans and indigenous people in what would later become South Africa.
Jan van Riebeeck referred to game hunting game in the area, and the rivers were inhabited by hippopotamus.
In 1773, the Dutch ship De Jonge Thomas dragged anchor and sank on a sandbank in the area, and event made famous by the heroic rescue of 14 sailors by Wolraad Woltemade, who drowned along with his horse in the rescue.
Paarden Eiland was declared an industrial area in 1935 and was heavily developed after World War II.
