# Portrait of Hieronymus Holzschuher

The Portrait of Hieronymus Holzschuher is a painting by German Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer, dated from 1526, now housed in the Gemäldegalerie of Berlin, Germany. The signature is in the upper left corner, and reads HIERONIMVS HOLTZSCHVER ANNO DO[MI]NI 1526 ETATIS SVE 57.
The work was executed in Nuremberg, the same year in which the German artist portrayed Johann Kleberger and Jakob Muffel. Holzschuher was a local patrician who was senator and septemvir in its councils.
The panel has the same dimensions as the portrait of Muffel, and thus it has been speculated that they could have been commissioned for some official celebration and exhibited in the city's town hall.

# Port of Lázaro Cárdenas

The Port of Lázaro Cárdenas (Spanish: ) is the largest Mexican seaport and one of the largest seaports in the Pacific Ocean basin, with an annual traffic capacity of around 25 million tonnes of cargo and 2,200,000 TEU.
In November 2003, the Mexican Navy seized the port from criminal gangs.

## Description

Lázaro Cárdenas is home to a deep-water seaport that handles container, dry bulk, and liquid cargo. The port currently has one container terminal, which handled 1.24 million TEU in 2012, and has a total capacity of 2.2 million TEU annually. APMT has plans to build an additional container terminal that would bring the port's capacity to 3.4 million TEU in 2015 and 6.5 million TEU in 2020. Cargo moves to and from the port by road and rail equally, with rail service provided exclusively by Canadian Pacific Kansas City. The port is expected to become a major container facility due to congestion at the U.S. ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and its relative proximity to major cities such as Chicago, Kansas City, and Houston. In preparation for the port's increased capacity, railway and highway infrastructure running north–south through the center of Mexico has been upgraded in recent years to handle the anticipated increase in volume of goods bound for the United States using this transportation corridor. If a proposed government-backed Pacific port is built at Punta Colonet, Baja California, goods flowing to U.S. states like Arizona and Nevada could bypass the congested Los Angeles region with closer access to those markets, providing increased competition with Lázaro Cárdenas.
Lázaro Cárdenas is the terminus of the Salamanca-Lazaro Cardenas gas pipeline.

## Statistics

In 2012, the Port of Lázaro Cárdenas handled 30,671,996 tonnes of cargo and 1,242,777 TEU's, making the busiest cargo port in Mexico and one of the largest container ports in the country.

# Port of Magadan

The Port of Magadan (Russian: Морской порт Магадан, romanized: Morskoi port Magadan) is a maritime port in the city of Magadan, Magadan Oblast, Russia, located in the Nagaev Bay on the northern coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. The port has 13 berths, of which 3 are for oil products, container 2, and 8 for other goods.

## History

In 1932 the pier was built. On December 6, 1933, the first berths that allowed the mooring of a vessel were installed. In April 1935 commissioned a second jetty seaport 77. In 1947 in the waters of the Nagayevo Bay laden with explosives blew up the ship "General Vatutin". Technique, cargo, port facilities, commercial and administrative buildings - all were destroyed from that blast. In 1977, by order of Nagaevo port, it has been renamed the Magadan Commercial Sea Port. On April 3, 1981, the port was awarded the Order "Badge of Honor". In 1980 the current boundaries of the port were formed, which cover a total area of 32 hectares with objects placed on its port infrastructure. At this time, the port handled more than 4 million tons of cargo.
A Decree of the Council of Ministers of the Russian Federation signed on 30.08.1993 No.1551-p ordered the opening of the port for international maritime freight and passenger traffic. In July 2009, government resolution No.926 signed by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin established the boundaries of Magadan port, the port declared a register of Russian seaports.
With decree N1288 of 22/06/2016 of the Russian Federation Government, the Port of Magadan was added to a list of Russian seaports accepting ships carrying nuclear materials and radioactive substances.
# Potez 38

The Potez 38 was a French single engine, eight or nine seat passenger aircraft flown in 1930. Only one was built.

## Design and development

The Potez 38 was a monoplane with high wings built around wooden box spars, spruce ribs and with fabric covering. In plan the wings were rectangular out to rounded tips and they were braced to the lower fuselage longerons with streamlined V-form struts on each side. There was 3° of dihedral.
The rectangular section fuselage was built in three parts, all with tubular metal structures though of different geometries. The front and rear sections were metal covered but the central section containing the cabin was covered in plywood. The forward section contained a 600 hp (447 kW) Hispano-Suiza 12Lbr water cooled V-12 engine, driving a two bladed propeller and with its radiator near the rear of the engine on the fuselage underside. There were two 300 L (66 imp gal; 79 US gal) fuel tanks, one in each wing, and an oil tank aft of the engine fire-wall. The cockpit had low profile glazing with a windscreen of V-plan and side-by-side seating. The Potez 38 was normally flown from the lefthand seat but dual control could be added to the other. The cabin had a volume of 15 m$^3$ (530 cu ft) and contained eight or nine seats and a toilet and baggage compartment. It was lit by a long, continuous window on each side and accessed by port and starboard doors at the back. The rear section of the fuselage carried a conventional tail which was wood framed and ply covered. The fin was triangular and mounted a balanced, curved edge rudder which reached down to the keel. The straight edged tailplane, strut braced to the lower fuselage, was mounted on the fin just above its base. Inset elevators gave its trailing edge an elliptical shape.
The Potez 38 had a conventional tail-skid undercarriage, fitted with brakes. Its main wheels were on legs mounted near the wing root just behind the leading edge, containing rubber shock absorbers and spread outwards to provide a wide track. The axles were each hinged to the lower fuselage on V-struts with one end further forward and one in line with the legs.
The Potez 38 first flew in late 1929 or 1930. By the end of November 1930 it had successfully completed its acceptance trials. During these it achieved a speed of 210 km/h (130 mph) After that there are few, if any, records of its activity.

# Potenji River

The Potenji River (Portuguese: Rio Potenji), meaning "river of the shrimps" in Tupi, is the principal river in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil). Its delta, that discharges in the coastline of Natal, was soon discovered by the first colonists that used to penetrate into the territory with their vessels. They named the river Rio Grande (which means "Big River" in English) because of its large channel and extension, being the origin of the name of the "capitania hereditária" (administrative division of Brazil during the colonial period whose possession was inherited by the descendants) of Rio Grande do Norte of that time.
The river's headwaters are located at the municipality of Cerro Corá and its mouth is located at the city of Natal, where it discharges into the Atlantic Ocean.
In Natal, the river marks the division between the North Region and the rest of the city.

# Portuguese corvette Afonso de Albuquerque (1884)

The Afonso de Albuquerque (also spelled as ''Afonso d’ Albuquerque) was a sloop or small unprotected cruiser of the Portuguese Navy. In Portuguese service, she was classified as "corvette". Launched in 1885, she was named after the 16th-century Portuguese general and governor of India Afonso de Albuquerque. She was decommissioned in 1909.
She was a small colonial warship, larger than most gunboats but weaker than a protected cruiser. The term "sloop" in the steamship era was used by some navies including the Royal Navy for what were essentially large gunboats. The Afonso de Albuquerque resembled, in size and performance, the Spanish unprotected cruisers of the Velasco class, which were used for colonial duties (and the unsuccessful defense of Manila Bay in 1898).
