# Nancy Jane Dean

Nancy Jane Dean (April 8, 1837 – March 5, 1926), often referred to as Jennie Dean or N. J. Dean, was an American educator and Presbyterian missionary serving Assyrian Christians in Qajar Iran (now Iran). She served as the head of Fiske Seminary, a girls' boarding school in Urmia, West Azerbaijan Province.

## Early life

Nancy Jane Dean was born on her family's farm in Livonia Township, near Plymouth, Michigan, the youngest of the thirteen children of Gabriel Dean and Lydia Bradner Dean. Both of her parents were born in New York state.
She trained as a teacher at the Michigan State Normal School in Ypsilanti, Michigan, graduating in 1860. Dean was a school teacher in Michigan for six years.

## Career

Mount Holyoke Seminary graduate Fidelia Fiske founded Fiske Seminary, a girls' boarding school at Urmia in 1843, to educate Christian Assyrian girls (which at the time were referred to as "Nestorians", and is no longer a preferred term) and to train teachers. Fiske left the school and Iran in 1858 for health reasons. After her departure it was renamed Fiske Seminary. Nancy Jane Dean arrived at Urmia to teach at the school in 1868, and became the school's principal. She took a furlough from 1875 to 1878, and spoke to church groups about her work.
In 1890, the Urmia mission reported that "Miss Dean, the faithful worker of twenty-two years, has been quite broken down... she has never given up entirely, and her presence, her experience and her spirituality exert untold influence over the girls of the boarding school." Nancy Jane Dean left the mission field in 1892, in poor health. "Her presence and influence will be long missed," commented one report. As she was leaving, before reaching Tabriz, her pack train was attacked by vandals and some of her possessions were taken.
She returned briefly to Persia in 1899, before permanently retiring in 1904. In retirement, Dean continued to lecture on Persia and work with Presbyterian women's groups. In 1920 and 1923, she was an honored guest at meetings of the Woman's Missionary Society of the Presbytery of Detroit.

## Personal life

Nancy Jane Dean died in Detroit in 1926, aged 88 years.

# Fish Church

The First Presbyterian Church of Stamford is a church in Stamford, Connecticut designed by architect Wallace K. Harrison. Nicknamed the Fish Church for its unusual shape, the interior of the church contains a shimmering stained glass 60-foot-tall (18 m) nave. it is a unique example of modernist architecture, and an architectural landmark. Its 260-foot-tall (79 m) Maguire Memorial Tower holds a 56-bell carillon. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark for its architecture in 2021, and the church is an active congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

## History and architecture

The original First Presbyterian Church of Stamford was a wooden structure located at 90 Broad Street from 1854 to 1882 when it burned down. It was replaced with a stone edifice, enlarged in 1920, which was used until 1958. In 1954, the congregation voted to relocate to its present location at 1101 Bedford Street.
Designed by Wallace K. Harrison, the new sanctuary was dedicated in March 1958. Its shape has been likened to that of a fish- a symbol used in early Christianity. The fish shape is apparent both in the profile and in the floor plan of the structure. Enhancing the unique shape of the church are the enormous stained glass windows in the sanctuary, which contain more than 20,000 pieces of faceted glass. These windows depict the story of the Crucifixion (on the right side), and the Resurrection (on the left). A 32-foot-high (9.8 m) cross faced with wood from the Canterbury Cathedral in England, dominates the Chancel. The church originally had an electronic organ, now replaced with a large Visser-Rowland pipe organ.
The stone wall along Bedford Street contains a series of tablets which recognize significant events, institutions, and individuals in the history of Stamford, particularly those with a religious impact, from 1641 to 1975. The Memorial Walk leading from Fellowship Hall (a multi-purpose space which includes a kitchen and stage) to the main entrance of the Sanctuary, has more than 100 stones, each representing an important figure in the Judeo/Christian tradition from the days of Abraham to the present. The corridor outside the chapel contains a collection of over 100 stones from sites of historical Christian significance, gathered during the world travels of former pastor Dr. George Stewart. The stone wall bears the inscription: "from far places where other believers turned not their back."
The church is home to a 56-bell carillon, now housed in the Maguire Memorial Tower. It was originally of 36 bells and called the Nestle Carillon, as the Nestle Corporation was headquartered in Stamford during World War II.
# River Waldron

The River Waldron is a small river in Staffordshire and Cheshire in north west England. It drains water from the area between Audley and Crewe, and joins the River Weaver to the west of Crewe (grid reference SJ664560). It is known by several different names along its length, including Alsager Brook and Valley Brook. Its principal tributaries are Wistaston Brook and Barthomley Brook.
It rises in Parrot's Drumble on the outskirts of Talke, and flows roughly westwards through Alsager and Crewe.
# Fish River Canoe Marathon

The Fish River Canoe Marathon is a two-day event taking place on the Fish River in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. It covers a total distance of 81.8 kilometres (50.8 mi), from Grassridge Dam southward to Cradock. The two other notable South African canoe marathons are the Dusi Canoe Marathon and the Berg River Canoe Marathon.
The Fish River marathon first took place in 1982 with 77 competitors. It was the brainchild of Cape paddler Dave Alexander and a local Department of Water Affairs engineer, Knut Olav "KO" Bang. By 2000 competitor numbers had grown to a record 1564, placing the race among the world's five biggest canoe marathons.
The K-3, developed in South Africa, is a recent addition to the sprint kayak class which previously consisted of the K1, K2 and K4. The K3 is particularly well suited to the Fish River with a relatively rock-free river bed and easily negotiable weirs. Demonstrating this in 2009, Matt Bouman, Herman Chalupsky and Andrew Birkett paddled their K3 to a 5h 9m finish, coming in just outside the top 10 overall.
The 2011 overall winners were Hank McGregor/Grant van der Walt with a time of 4:40.38 for the 2-day event.

# Department of Environment and Conservation (Australia)

The Department of Environment and Conservation was an Australian government department that existed between December 1972 and April 1975.

## History

The Department was one of several new Departments established by the Whitlam government, a wide restructuring that revealed some of the new government's program.
The Department was abolished in April 1975, to be replaced by the Department of the Environment. At the time, Prime Minister Gough Whitlam said that the reason for the re‑badging was that the name "Department of Environment and Conservation" suggested that conservation was a separate matter from the environment, whereas it was in fact a major component of the Government's total environment program.
The renaming was requested by environment minister Moss Cass, who said the title was too long and redundant.

## Scope

Information about the department's functions and government funding allocation could be found in the Administrative Arrangements Orders, the annual Portfolio Budget Statements and in the Department's annual reports.
According to the Administrative Arrangements Order issued 19 December 1972, at its creation, the Department was responsible for activities related to:
* Environment and conservation—
** Water, including the protection and use of water resources
** National Parks

## Structure

The Department was an Australian Public Service department, staffed by officials who were responsible to the Minister for Environment and Conservation.

# International Combustion

International Combustion Limited was a major engineering business based in Derby offering products for the nuclear engineering industry. International Combustion Australia Limited was a separate non-affiliated company.

## History

The Company was founded by W. R. Wood, an American, in 1898 in London as the Automatic Furnance Syndicate. It changed its name to the Underfeed Stoker Company in 1902 and then to International Combustion Engineering when it moved to Derby in 1922. At that time it concentrated on the production of castings from its new foundry.
By 1959 it had expanded its activities such that it was awarded the contract to provide the boilers for Trawsfynydd nuclear power station. It was acquired by Clarke Chapman in 1974 and then absorbed into Northern Engineering Industries ('NEI') in 1977; in 1989 NEI was itself acquired by Rolls-Royce plc and they decided to pass on International Combustion to ABB Group in 1997.
# Mercury vacuum

A mercury vacuum is a vacuum cleaner specifically designed to collect mercury (the metallic element, not the planet), for instance to clean up spills of the element. It is a requirement of the U.S. EPA that a mercury vacuum cleaner be used to clean up mercury spills (if an alternative method is used, a description of the method must be submitted to the EPA Administrator in a Notification of Compliance Status report). Shop Vacs may or may not be suitable. A mercury vacuum cleaner should be designed to prevent generation of airborne mercury typically through the use of an activated carbon charcoal filter in addition to any particulate filters. The ends of hoses should be capped after each use; and after vacuuming, the area should be washed down. Users of mercury vacuum cleaners should be trained in the handling of hazardous materials.
# Kiln furniture

Kiln furniture are devices and implements inside furnaces used during the heating of manufactured individual pieces, such as pottery or other ceramic or metal components. Kiln furniture is made of refractory materials, i.e., materials that withstand high temperatures without deformation. Kiln furniture can account for up to 80% of the mass of a kiln charge.

## Materials

Commonly used materials are cordierite (up to 1275 °C), mullite (up to 1750 °C), silicon carbide (up to 1500 °C), alumina (up to 1750 °C), zirconia (up to 1650 °C). The choice depends on cost, weight, and physical properties.

## Functions and effects

Functions of kiln furniture include carrying the kiln/furnace load and protecting the load from various kind of damage: open file, smoke, debris, from deforming or sticking the components to each other. In addition to various carriers and plates, capsules with heating material may be used.
Kiln furniture influences the heat distribution in the furnace and the interaction of the load with the atmosphere in the furnace. Since the furniture is being heated along with the load, this increases energy consumption hence the operating costs increase. An additional increase of costs comes from wear of the furniture due to thermomechanical and chemical stresses. To decrease heat capacity porous materials or thinner furniture components may be used. However this calls for a trade-off with load-bearing capacity and stress resistance.

## Types of kiln furniture

A saggar (also misspelled as sagger or segger) is a ceramic boxlike container used in the firing of pottery to enclose or protect ware being fired inside a kiln. Saggars have been used to protect, or safeguard, ware from open flame, smoke, gases and kiln debris. Traditionally, saggars were made primarily from fireclay. Modern saggars are made of alumina ceramic, cordierite ceramic, mullite ceramic silicon carbide and in special cases from zirconia.
A pernette or stilt is a prop to support pottery in a kiln so that pottery does not touch each other or kiln's floor. In archaeology, they may be upside-down fired clay tripods, leaving characteristic marks at the bottoms of the pottery/porcelain. They expose the bottom of the fired piece to the full heat.
Other types of furniture and furniture systems include kiln cars, kiln shelves, batts, tiles, and plates; tubes and beams; props and fittings, profile setters, rollers, stools; T-cranks, Y-cranks, pin cranks. The design of kiln furniture system depends on the wares manufactured: structural clay products, dinnerware, tiles, electronics ceramics, sanitaryware, electrical porcelain, etc.
