# Istehza Madrasah

Istehza madrasah (Pushayman Madrasah; Muhammad Nabi Madrasah) is a two-story madrasah building located in the historical center of the city of Bukhara, Bukhara Region, Republic of Uzbekistan. The smallest madrasah in Central Asia. It is included in the national list of real estate objects of material and cultural heritage of Uzbekistan.

## History

The madrasah was built in 1909 in the capital of Bukhara Emirate, Oybibi inaq (Oybinok), during the reign of the Uzbek ruler Abdulahad Khan (1885–1910), with the funds of Muhammad Nabi. According to information, Muhammad Nabi was mainly engaged in farming and carpet business. He came to Bukhara from Denov. The annual endowment property of the madrasah was equal to 22 thousand coins.
After the establishment of the Soviet rule, the education of students in the madrasah was terminated.
According to the State program developed in 2010, restoration and adaptation of the madrasah to modern use was planned in 2011, and 5 million soums were allocated for the implementation of these works.
The building of the madrasah, as an architectural monument of the city of Bukhara, was included in the national list of immovable property objects of the material and cultural heritage of Uzbekistan approved in 2019, and is now put into modern use as a tourist service facility.
It is located on Khoja Porso street, belonging to Kokaldosh MFY in Bukhara.

## Architecture

The madrasah building is made of two-story brick, has 15 rooms. In the 19th century, it formed an independent architectural ensemble together with the Oybinok mosque and the Ibrahim Akhund madrasah.

## Legends

It is reported that Muhammad Nabi decided to turn his house into a madrasah after having a quarrel with his children and formalized it as a waqf. However, later he reconciles with his sons and wants to change his decision. However, since the wealth that became the property of the foundation cannot be someone else's property, he will not be able to achieve his goal, and he deeply regrets it. Therefore, among the people, this madrasah is called Pushayman madrasa or Istehza (Isteza) madrasah.

# Sabal 'Birmingham'

Sabal 'Birmingham' is a seed-propagated selection of palmetto (Arecaceae, genus Sabal), of unknown origin and widely thought to be a hybrid of Sabal palmetto with a yet-unidentified species. It is widely known for its extreme cold hardiness and its slow growth compared to other palmetto species.

## History

The origin of Sabal 'Birmingham' is shrouded in mystery. The plant was first identified with a large palmetto that grew in the garden of Eva Alexander in Birmingham, Alabama (hence the name), which survived many freezes below 10 °F (−12 °C), including at least one below 0 °F (−18 °C). One even survived -11 degrees F in Tulsa, OK. Speculation indicates the seed source for this particular palm was somewhere in California. After Alexander's death in 1976, her property on Graymont Avenue was re-purposed for a church, and the tree was moved to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. It remained there until it died in the mid 1980s. Before its demise, Bob McCartney of Woodlander's Nursery collected seed from the tree and began germinating seedlings, which have kept this particular species going. Specimens are now found as far away as Virginia, Maryland, and southern New Jersey.

## Description

Sabal 'Birmingham' grows up to 40 ft (12 m) in height, with a trunk up to 2 ft (61 cm) diameter. Like Sabal palmetto, it is a distinct fan palm (Arecaceae tribe Corypheae), with a bare petiole which extends as a center spine or midrib, (costa) 1/2 to 2/3 the length into a rounded, costapalmate fan of numerous leaflets. A costapalmate leaf has a definite costa (midrib) unlike the typical palmate or fan leaf, but the leaflets are arranged radially like in a palmate leaf. All costapalmate leaves are markedly recurved or arched backwards. Each leaf is 5 to 6.5 ft (1.5 to 2.0 m) long, with 40-60 leaflets up to 2.6 ft (79 cm) long. It was originally speculated that Sabal birmingham was a hybrid between Sabal palmetto and Sabal mexicana, however its slow growth rate and increased cold hardiness point more toward a hybrid between Sabal palmetto and Sabal minor, both of which are native to Alabama.

## Cultivation and uses

This palm is in great demand in areas where Sabal palmetto is only marginally hardy because of its lower protection needs. Well-established specimens of Sabal 'Birmingham' are hardy in USDA Zone 7, while Sabal palmetto needs winter protection and near-perfect siting to be successfully grown in any zone colder than Zone 8. Established Sabal 'Birmingham' are grown in or near Atlanta, GA, Raleigh, NC, New Bern, NC, Nashville, TN, Richmond, VA, Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD and Toms River, NJ
# Wharton Fill

Wharton Fill is one of a number of fills (embankments) on the Lackawanna Cut-Off railroad line in northwest New Jersey. Located between mileposts 51.1 and 51.6 in Byram Township, the fill was constructed between 1908 and 1911 by contractor David W. Flickwir. The fill, which was created by placing fill material obtained by blasting with dynamite or other methods, is about 0.5 miles (0.64 km) long. Most of the material that was used to create Wharton Fill was excavated from the surrounding low-lying area through which Pumpkin Run runs; several of the borrow pits have since flooded and become ponds.
Wharton Fill is located on a tangent (straight) section of right-of-way, permitting 80 mph (113 km/h), and is just west of Lubber Run Fill and just east of Roseville Tunnel. This section is scheduled to receive a single track as part of the reactivation of the line, which was abandoned in 1983. NJ Transit rail service is projected to begin no earlier than 2026.
Wharton Fill is named for the Wharton Steel Company, from whom this section of right-of-way was acquired.

# Macdara

Mac Dara was a sixth century Irish Christian saint who lived on an island off the west coast of Ireland. His feast day is September 28; the Féile Mhic Dara (Feast of Macdara) occurs on July 16.

## History

His name was Sinach Mac Dara. As "sionach" is a word associated with stormy weather, it was not used in preference to his patronym. Saint Macdara's Island off the coast of County Galway "was home in the sixth century to St. Macdara, Connemara's most respected saint, who built a one-room chapel here" which is "considered one of the finest early Christian oratories in Ireland". Mac Dara's wooden church was subsequently replaced by one of stone. The oratory was restored in 1975 and appeared on a series of five definitive stamps between 1982 and 1986.

## Pattern day

The Saint's name does not appear in any of the Calendars or Martyrologies, but he has found a place in the Rev. Canon O'Hanlon's Lives of The Saints. Mac Dara is the patron saint of west Connacht fishermen, and the parish of Moyrus, where the church was named for him. It is an old tradition to dip the sails when passing between the island and Mace Head. The fishermen do not go out on July 16, Macdara's feast day. Instead people celebrate Féile Mhic Dara with a pilgrimage from nearby Moyrus beach to the island, where a Mass is celebrated, followed by a blessing of boats, a picnic, and boat races. The pilgrims then return to Carna for a Céilidh and music.
MacDara was a common first name in Connemara. The inhabitants also called their boats after him, and to sail in such was considered a guarantee of safety.
The spelling of the name has a number of different variations including MacDara, Macdarragh and Macdarra. Mac is Irish for Son and Dara is Irish for Oak so the literal translation of Macdara is Son of Oak. One of the most prominent modern uses of the name is a second-level school located in the south of Dublin city named St Mac Dara's College.
# Sally Watson

Sally Watson (January 28, 1924 – March 11, 2022) was an American author best known for her English Family Tree series, which encompasses generations of a family with roots in England and Scotland, and branches that stretch to early America. Other books are set in such places as Ancient Egypt and early modern Israel, and she also wrote two memoirs.

## Biography

Watson was born in Seattle, Washington and attended Reed College. She began writing fiction in 1953; while doing so she worked for Great Books and co-wrote the audio-visual reading course, Listen and Learn with Phonics. In 1964 she moved to England, where she lived for 24 years, writing meticulously researched juvenile historical fiction featuring feisty and adventurous heroines, such as Jade, published by Henry Holt and Company. Her other activities included Scottish highland dance, teaching Judo, in which she earned a black belt, and Mensa International. The publishing climate for juvenile fiction eventually changed, and by the mid-1970s her books had gone out of print.
Watson eventually returned to the United States, taking up residence in Santa Rosa, California, where she became active in feral cat rescue organizations. All the while her fans were pleading for her books to be republished; eventually Image Cascade reprinted many of the novels. Sally has continued to add to her English family tree series and has also published several young adult novels set in Ancient Egypt. Her most recent books are Tailwavers, a story for all cat lovers, told in part through a series of letters, The Next Pharaoh, a novel continuing her Egyptian history, Return of the Exiles, set during the rebirth of Israel, and Dance to a Different Piper, a memoir covering the first 30 years of her long and productive life.
Watson died on March 11, 2022, in her hometown of Santa Rosa, California, at the age of 98.

# Walter Mackersie Smith

Walter Mackersie Smith (1842–1906) was a British engineer who made an important contribution to the development of the compound steam locomotive. His middle name has sometimes been mis-spelt Mackenzie. He was born at Ferry-Port on Craig (now Tayport), Fife.

## Personal life

He married Margaret Black and they had eight children. One of his sons, Samuel Walter Johnson Smith, became a Fellow of the Royal Society. W. M. Smith died in 1906 while still working for the North Eastern Railway.

## Work

He was apprenticed to an engineering company in Glasgow, worked for Neilson and Company for a short time and then joined the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. Samuel Waite Johnson was locomotive superintendent of the E&G at the time and the two became lifelong friends. Johnson moved to the Great Eastern Railway in 1866 and Smith moved with him.
In 1874, Smith became locomotive, carriage and wagon superintendent for the Imperial Government Railways of Japan. He returned to Britain in 1883 and joined the North Eastern Railway where he eventually became chief draughtsman.
Smith's main contributions to locomotive design concerned the use of piston valves and compounding. The North Eastern Railway was already using the two-cylinder Worsdell-von Borries compound system. Smith improved on this by developing a three-cylinder compound system with one high-pressure cylinder inside and two low-pressure cylinders outside. This was tried out on the NER Class 3CC locomotive.

## Locomotives

The North Eastern Railway built only a small number of Smith's compound locomotives but the system had greater success on the Midland Railway under Samuel Waite Johnson, Smith's old friend. Production of the Midland Railway 1000 Class began in 1902 and ran to 45 locomotives. The design was perpetuated in the LMS Compound 4-4-0 from 1924 and production ran to 195 locomotives. A summary of British compound locomotives based on Smith's system is given here:
* NER Class 3CC
* NER Class 4CC
* Great Central Railway classes 8D and 8E
* Midland Railway 1000 Class
* LMS Compound 4-4-0
