# Alfred Smyth (politician)

Alfred George Smyth (17 June 1879 – 27 October 1959) was a New South Wales-born Western Samoan politician.

## Biography

Smyth was born in Maitland, New South Wales and attended the local Sacred Heart School and the government school on Thursday Island. He started work at Burns Philp in Thursday Island and married Emily Richmond Brown in 1901, after which the couple moved to Bowen, Queensland and then Charters Towers. They had a daughter named Emmy. After working for Burns Philp for 16 years, Smyth spent two years running his own business, before moving to Papua in 1910 to work for C.R. Baldwin.
In 1914 Smyth moved to Levuka in Fiji to work for Morris Hedstrom, but left in 1918 to start work for H.J. Moors in Apia in Western Samoa. Later in the same year he relocated to Auckland to open a branch of O.F. Nelson & Co. Returning to Samoa, he bought a business in Apia, which he sold to Morris Hedstrom in 1927. He then worked for A.M. Brodziak in Fiji, before returning to Apia to take over as head of the local branch of Morris Hedstrom. In 1933 he rejoined O.F. Nelson to become General Manager and a director of the firm. In 1937 he took over a general store and bakery, launching A.G. Smyth & Co.

### Political career

Smyth was a member of the anti-colonial Mau movement. He contested the first elections to the Legislative Council in 1924, but finished fifth out of the eight candidates running for the three available seats. As a result of his Mau activities, he was deported in January 1928 and exiled for two years.
When Smyth was due to return to Western Samoa on 28 December 1929, the Mau movement planned a major reception for him. However, when the police attempted to arrest a member of the procession, a fight erupted and several Mau members were shot dead by the police firing into the crowd. The event became known as Black Saturday. Smyth was then considered for deportation again; although Governor Stephen Allen described him as an "ass", he decided that another stint in exile was unjustified.
Smyth planned to contest the 1932 elections. Although he was widely considered the favourite candidate, he was forced to withdraw his candidacy due to his employer's opposition. Smyth did contest the 1935 elections, and was elected with by far the most votes. He ran for re-election in the 1938 elections as a member of the United Progressive Party, but was defeated by Olaf Frederick Nelson and Charles Dawson. He contested the 1941 elections, but lost to Nelson and Amando Stowers.
In 1944 Smyth ran again for election to the Legislative Council, and was successful in regaining his seat. He did not run in the 1948 elections due to poor health, but unsuccessfully contested the 1951 elections.

### Later life

In September 1957 he moved to Australia. He died in Sydney in 1959.
# Alfrederick Smith Hatch

Alfrederick Smith Hatch (July 24, 1829 – May 13, 1904) was an American investment banker who founded Fisk & Hatch along with Harvey Fisk. Hatch was the President of the New York Stock Exchange from 1883 to 1884.

## Life

Hatch was born in Vermont to Horace Hatch (1788–1873) and Mary Yates Smith (1798–1859).
In March 1862, Hatch and Harvey Fisk began a finance and insurance company called, Fisk & Hatch. The company initially focused almost exclusively in government bonds. Both men were short on capital at the time and relied on $15,000 worth of loans from family and friends. Hatch and Fisk found success as sub-agents for Jay Cooke & Company, popularizing and selling millions of dollars in government war securities in New York and New England. The two quickly became the front rank of bond dealers.
In 1871, Hatch commissioned a portrait of his family at his house on Park Avenue and 37th Street. In 1872, he donated a building he owned on 316 Water Street to Jerry McAuley and his wife, Maria. McAuley used the building to established a rescue mission for homeless men called the "Helping Hand for Men". This establishment would later become the New York City Rescue Mission.
Hatch was the President of the New York Stock Exchange from 1883 to 1884.

## Death

Hatch died on May 13, 1904, at the age of 74.

# Thomas Malcolm Charlton

Thomas Malcolm Charlton FRSE (1 September 1923 – 1 February 1997) was a British civil engineer and historian. He is remembered for several notable textbooks on structural issues. He was a great lover of railways and railway engines.

He was born on 1 September 1923, in South Normanton, Derbyshire, the son of William Charlton, a mining engineer, and Emily May Wellbank. His early education was at Doncaster Grammar School and then Doncaster Technical College.
His university education began at London University, graduating BSc in 1943, but was the interrupted by the Second World War, which also caused a relocation of studies to University College Nottingham (under Prof C H Bulleid). After graduating, he was then interviewed by C.P. Snow for a position as a Junior Scientific Officer in what became the Royal Radar Establishment at Great Malvern, and took up this position.
In 1946, Charlton began work as an engineer and technical advisor in Newcastle. He stayed there for eight years. In 1954, Cambridge University offered him a lectureship and he moved there with his young family. The university granted him an honorary MA degree in the same year. In 1963, he was offered a Professorship by Queen's University Belfast, and accepted, finding this a much more comfortable position. At Queen's, he became a member of many university committees, including the Buildings and General Policy Committee. In this role he condemned the concrete of university halls of residence, then under construction, as substandard, leading to their demolition. During the civil unrest in Northern Ireland he was asked to sit on the six person Advisory Council to the Ulster Defence Regiment under the chairmanship of General Sir John Anderson.
In 1970, Aberdeen University offered him a chair and he was Professor of Engineering there until he retired. An invitation to act as a visiting lecturer to Finland led to his being elected a Foreign Member of the Finnish Academy of Sciences. In 1973 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
After his retirement in 1979, he moved with his wife to Burwell, Cambridgeshire and continued to write. He died at Burwell on 1 February 1997.

# Algeria–Vietnam relations

Algeria and Vietnam established relations in 1962, although the link between Algeria and Vietnam has been recorded much longer than modern history. Algeria has an embassy in Hanoi while Vietnam has an embassy in Algiers.
Both countries are members of the Group of 77.

## History

Relationship between Algeria and Vietnam is the oldest relationship between Vietnam with an Arab country in the Arab World. The relationship started when France ruled over both countries from the 19th century through the mid-20th century.
When France conquered Vietnam at 19th century, Emperor Hàm Nghi of Vietnam was forced to abdicate the throne after French suppression of the Cần Vương movement. The Vietnamese monarch was exiled to French Algeria and later lived the rest of his life in Algeria and married a Pied-Noir woman. It was the first ever contact between Algeria and Vietnam, and later, they were together linked by French colonization.

## Modern relations
### Cultural relations

In Hanoi, the Algerian-Vietnamese High School is a symbol of strong Algerian-Vietnamese relationship. In Algiers, Hồ Chí Minh is named in several streets due to his influence for Algerian independence movement. The Vietnam's National Day was celebrated in Algeria first in 2007.

### Diplomatic relations

Deemed to be the oldest relationship between Vietnam and an Arab nation, Algeria and Vietnam share common political similarities and interests. Both two countries support the cause of Western Sahara, and have established tie with the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. There is also a military cooperation between them, dated back to the Algerian War.
During the Algerian War, the North Vietnamese, recently victorious during the First Indochina War provided clandestine weapon transfers to Algeria. Consequently, despite being a neutral state, Algeria’s relations were much warmer with Vietnam than others, with a draft resolution in the 1973 summit of the Non-Aligned Movement was proposed by Algeria, calling on its members to support the DRV and PRG.

# Barium cyanide

Barium cyanide is a chemical compound with the formula Ba(CN)$_2$. It is synthesized by the reaction of hydrogen cyanide and barium hydroxide in water or petroleum ether. It is a white crystalline salt.

## Uses

Barium cyanide is used in electroplating and other metallurgical processes.

## Reactions

Barium cyanide reacts with water and carbon dioxide in air slowly, producing highly toxic hydrogen cyanide gas.
When barium cyanide is heated to 300°C with steam present, the nitrogen evolves to ammonia, leaving barium formate.
    Ba(CN)$_2$ + 4 H$_2$O = Ba(HCOO)$_2$ + 2 NH$_3$
Aqueous solutions of barium cyanide dissolve insoluble cyanides of some of the heavy metals forming crystalline double salts. For example, BaHg(CN)$_4$.3H$_2$O in needles, 2Ba(CN)$_2$.3Hg(CN)$_2$.23H$_2$O in transparent octahedra, and Ba(CN)$_2$.Hg(CN)$_2$.HgI$_2$.6H$_2$O.
