# Former palace of Justice of Douala

The former Palace of Justice of Douala situated in Douala is a building originally constructed between 1930-31 under the French Mandate.
In 2000 the building was extended with two additional wings in a project initiated by the Department of Justice.

## History

Under the German administration (1884-1914), three judiciary bodies were created: a landlords’ court, a tribes’ court and an arbitration court. The Douala landlords were subjected to a patent in order to exercise as customary judges, and gained some income from it. Their competence to fine and jail was restricted to 100 marks and six months. Beyond these figures and up to the death penalty, only the German civil laws had force of law. In parallel, a council of notables collaborated with the German governor on the questions of social organization.
During the Franco-British condominium (1916-1919), and until the granting of the Mandate by the Company of the Nations (1922), the French administration works within the legal framework left by the Germans and preserves the same indigenous jurisdictions.
Under the French Mandate, as of the construction of the law courts, in 1930, these jurisdictions are replaced by courts of 1st and 2nd degree. This reorganization removes the consequent material advantages that the Douala landlords’ possessed. This displeases them immensely. They made their dissatisfaction heard, maintaining clandestine courts, and even restore the pre-colonial traditional authorities.
Until 1941, the French administration will preserve the Council of notable, while applying the code of the indigénat, heir to the Code Noir established by Louis XIV at the beginning of the 18th century. This legal situation will end in Cameroon only after the French Liberation and the Conference of Brazzaville in 1944.
Today this building shelters the Court of Appeal of the Littoral.
In 2006 the building is highlighted by an urban sign produced by doual'art and designed by Sandrine Dole; the sign presents an historical image of the building and a description of its history.
# John Matthew Galwey

John Matthew Galwey (1787 or 1788 – 25 March 1842) was an Irish politician.
Galwey lived at Duckspool in County Waterford. He managed the estates of Lord Donoughmore and Lord Cremorne.
Galwey stood in the 1832 UK general election as an Irish Repeal candidate in both Dungarvan and in County Waterford. He narrowly lost the first, but won a seat in the second, as an Irish Repeal candidate. At the 1835 UK general election, he only contested Dungarvan, where he was defeated by a larger margin. He was again unsuccessful there in 1835 and 1837 by-elections, and at the 1837 UK general election.
# Thanjavur doll

The Thanjavur doll is a type of traditional Indian bobblehead or roly-poly toy made of terracotta material. The centre of gravity and total weight of the doll is concentrated at its bottom-most point, generating a dance-like continuous movement with slow oscillations. These toys are traditionally handmade, finished with detailed, painted exteriors. They have been recognized as a Geographical Indication by the Government of India as of 2008-09.

# John Medlin

John Grimes Medlin Jr. (November 23, 1933 – June 7, 2012) was the chief executive officer of Wachovia from 1977 to 1993. He also served as chairman of the bank from 1988 to 1998.

## Personal life

Medlin was born in Elevation, North Carolina to John G. Medlin Sr. and Mabel Stephenson. He grew up on the family farm, moving to Benson, NC, during high school. The first member of his family to attend college, he studied at the University of North Carolina on a Navy scholarship. He obtained a Bachelor of Science in business administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1956.

## Career

After graduating from college, Medlin served in the U.S. Navy as a paymaster aboard a submarine support ship from 1956 to 1959. After leaving the Navy, Medlin joined Winston-Salem-based Wachovia the same year. He was named president in 1974 and CEO in 1977. During his time as CEO, Wachovia's assets grew from $3.6 billion to $35.3 billion, making it the 20th largest bank in the country.

## Honors

In 1995, Medlin was inducted into the North Carolina Business Hall of Fame. He was honored in 1998 as the recipient of the Distinguished Citizens Award from the N.C. Citizens for Business & Industry. The North Carolina Bar Association honored Medlin "for outstanding contributions to the administration of justice in North Carolina” in 2008. In the 1990s, Medlin was appointed by Chief Justice James G. Exum to serve on the North Carolina State Judicial Council and as chairman of the commission on the Future of Justice and the Courts in North Carolina.

## Death

Medlin died on June 7, 2012, from a heart attack while playing tennis.
# William George Fastie

William George Fastie (6 December 1916 – 14 July 2000) was an American optical physicist and spectroscopist who played a part in the Johns Hopkins University space program of the late 1950s.

## Early years

Fastie was born on December 6, 1916 in Baltimore, Maryland. He was one of four children of William Ferdinand and Carolyn Fastie. He attended Johns Hopkins University between 1934 and 1941, initially at evening classes and later as a graduate student in physics, supervised by August Herman Pfund, Robert W. Wood, and Gerhard Heinrich Dieke.

## Career

During World War II, Fastie's work in the department of physics involved the development of infrared detectors. At the end of the War he joined Leeds & Northrup as a research physicist, but was lured back to Hopkins in 1951 by the professor of physics, John D. Strong.
Fastie's first publication described a new design of spectrometer which today bears his name. With the launch of Sputnik 1, Fastie saw the potential of spectroscopy from space, and started a program at Hopkins to develop this idea. Initially concentrating on spectroscopic analysis of the Earth's upper atmosphere, it soon broadened into a full-fledged astronomy program, using accurately pointed telescopes.
He contributed to the Mariner 5 flyby of Venus in 1967, and the Mariner 6 and 7 flybys of Mars in 1969, as well as heading the ultraviolet spectrometer experiment on Apollo 17 in 1972 - the missions using ultraviolet spectrometers designed by Fastie in 1952. Known today as the Ebert-Fastie spectrometer, it has a design similar to that described by Hermann Ebert in the early 1900s. Fastie's interests also moved to astronomy in the 1960s, and he designed a number of precision-pointing telescopes whose designs are still used in sounding rockets.
In 1977 NASA appointed Fastie as a member of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) science working group. In 1979, the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy Inc suggested Hopkins as the home for the Space Telescope Science Institute. Fastie provided a detailed formulation for the proposal. The bio-luminescence of Chesapeake Bay was added to his list of interests, as was the development of new designs of spectroscope.
Fastie retired from Hopkins in 1982, but continued to work on campus for another 15 years. He contributed to the design of the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope, used on the Space Shuttle in December 1990 and March 1995.
The 'Fastie Finger', a device in the Advanced Camera for Surveys used for masking unwanted bright astronomical light sources used, is named after him.

## Personal life

Fastie and his wife Frances raised two sons and a daughter.
Fastie died in Baltimore of pneumonia on July 14, 2000.

# Banksia falcata

Banksia falcata, commonly known as prickly dryandra, is a species of prickly, column-shaped shrub that is endemic to Western Australia. It has serrated or pinnatipartite leaves, heads of up to 150 yellow flowers and soft-hairy fruit.

## Description

Banksia falcata is a column-shaped shrub that typically grows to a height of 2.3 m (7 ft 7 in) but does not form a lignotuber. It has undulating, serrated to pinnatipartite leaves that are wedge-shaped in outline, 35–80 mm (1.4–3.1 in) long and 15–30 mm (0.59–1.18 in) wide on a petiole 5–12 mm (0.20–0.47 in) long, with between seven and thirteen sharply-pointed teeth on each side. The flowers are borne on a head containing between 110 and 150 flowers in each head. There are linear to narrow lance-shaped involucral bracts 15–20 mm (0.59–0.79 in) long covered with rusty, woolly hairs at the base of the head. The flowers have a bright yellow perianth 30–39 mm (1.2–1.5 in) long and a yellow pistil 32–45 mm (1.3–1.8 in) long. Flowering occurs from September to November or January and the follicles are oval, 6–7 mm (0.24–0.28 in) long and covered with soft hairs.

## Taxonomy and naming

This banksia was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown in the journal Transactions of the Linnean Society of London and given the name Dryandra falcata. In 2007, Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele transferred all the dryandras to the genus Banksia and this species became Banksia falcata. The specific epithet (falcata) is a Latin word meaning "falcate" or "shaped like a scythe or sickle".

## Distribution and habitat

Banksia falcata grows in kwongan between the Stirling Range and Esperance in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions.

# Former police station of Douala

The former police station situated in Douala is a building constructed at the beginning of the 20th century by the Germans to serve as the first police station under the German mandate.

## History

The police station is the site where King Rudolf Douala Manga Bell and his assistant Adolf Ngosso Din were sentenced to death and hung. Both men has been sentenced following their staunch opposition to the June 1910 Decree issued by Governor Ebermaier and ordering the expropriation and resettlement of natives from Joss, Bonapriso, Akwa and Deïdo. The Germans decided to seize the land along the banks of Wouri River, thus violating the sovereignty clause which left the land to the natives as specified in the treaty signed on July 12, 1884 between the Duala Kings and German authorities. On the other hand, a one-kilometre buffer zone or “Freie Zone” was established between the Whites and the Blacks. Rehousing sites were then created for displaced people: Neu Bell, Neu Akwa, and Neu Deïdo. From 1912 to 1914, commissioned by the Ngondo Vernacular Council, Rudolf and his assistant called for general mobilization in Cameroon and in Germany in order to defend their rights before the Reichstag, the German parliament. Nevertheless, the first expropriations began in December 1913. In May 1914, under the premise of a false document said to have been issued by King Bell and addressed to Sultan Njoya, which allegedly pleaded for an alliance with England, both protesters were caught, held in custody within this police station, sentenced for treason and hung on August 18, 1914. Only this stump is left of the tree from which they were hung. The First World War had just started in Europe. As hostile war ships sailed towards Cameroon, the Germans speeded up the trial in order to face the expected assaults from the enemy. At the same time, in an attempt to neutralise growing internal opposition, 180 natives were hung shortly after Rudolf and Ngosso Din. In September 1914, with the help of Duala canoeists, French and English troops got into the channel blocked with vessels the Germans had wrecked.
This edifice now hosts the merchant navy services.
In 2006 the building is highlighted by an urban sign produced by doual'art and designed by Sandrine Dole; the sign presents an historical image of the building and a description of its history.
# Thames Ambulance Service

Thames Ambulance Service is a private ambulance service with headquarters in Lincoln, and bases across England.
It had a sub-contract for patient transport services in Sussex with Coperforma. In November 2016, it proposed to make the staff redundant, claiming it had not been paid since June 2016.
The Care Quality Commission inspected it in 2017 and ordered it to improve after it found issues with found cleanliness, infection control and hygiene.
It took over patient transport services in North East Lincolnshire in October 2016. Six extra ambulance crews were brought in to temporarily support the local operation.
It started a contract for patient transport services in Hull in April 2017. Staff who were transferred from Yorkshire Ambulance Service were told that they would not be paid overtime and expenses in the first month because of “cash flow problems”. After the clinical commissioning group intervened they were paid. The local branch of the health union UNISON said that workers remained concerned about the problems with payment.
It won a five-year contract worth £28 million in Leicestershire and Rutland from October 2017, taking over from Arriva.

# John Medley Wood

John Medley Wood (1 December 1827 Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England – 26 August 1915 Durban) was a South African botanist who contributed greatly to the knowledge of Natal ferns, is generally credited with the establishment of sugarcane mosaic virus immune Uba sugar cane in Natal and for his extensive collection of Natal plants.

## History

Wood was born in Mansfield to a lawyer James Riddall Wood and Hannah Healy Weaver. His father remarried Mary Haygarth and emigrated to Durban, and John, who had spent seven years at sea after leaving school, joined him there in 1852. He soon acquired his own property at the mouth of the Umdhloti River north of Durban. Here he experimented with new crop plants. In 1855 he married his stepmother's younger sister Elizabeth Haygarth.
For health reasons he moved further inland to Inanda in 1868, where he ran a trading store and did some farming. Here he developed an interest in cryptogams and started collecting ferns, mosses and fungi as well as flowering plants. He began corresponding with M.C. Cooke and Károly Kalchbrenner, the mycologists at Kew and in Budapest, Hungary. The Rev. John Buchanan, a local fern expert who had published a list of Natal ferns in 1875, assisted Medley Wood in that group. In 1880 Anton Rehmann, the Austrian botanist, visited Natal and took over Wood's collection of mosses.
As a result of his growing interest in botany, he accepted the post of curator of the Durban Botanic Gardens in 1882. From his interest in crop plants, he established the suitability of Uba sugar cane (Saccharum sinense L.), for conditions in Natal. During these years he collected plants extensively throughout Natal and exchanged duplicates with foreign herbaria.
He was preparing the seventh volume of his Natal Plants at the time of his death in 1915. He is commemorated in the genera Woodia Schltr., Woodiella Sydow and a large number of species names including that of Encephalartos woodii Sander, which he first discovered.
He was elected an Associate of the Linnean Society of London in 1887 and awarded an honorary D.Sc. from University of Cape Town in 1913.
