It was named after Danish zoologist, physiologist and Nobel laureate August Krogh. This crater was previously designated Auzout B. The crater is roughly circular and bowl-shaped, with an inner wall that is wider in the north than the south. It is otherwise an undistinguished formation.

# Swindon FM

Swindon FM (formerly Swindon 107FM) was a local DAB radio station broadcasting to the English town of Swindon between 2003 and 2006, after making two trial FM broadcasts in 2001 and 2002. The station stopped broadcasting in May 2006.
Towards the end of its tenure, the station's owners applied to the regulators for a local commercial licence, which was awarded to Brunel FM, and for a community radio licence, which went to Swindon 105.5. As a result, many of its staff and presenters moved to those rival stations.

## History
### Swindon 107FM (2001–2002)

Swindon 107FM broadcast its first Restricted Service Licence (RSL) transmission from a studio at Swindon's Brunel Centre shopping complex in September 2001. The station was founded by former Swindon Town chairman Rikki Hunt and jazz musician Ray Butt, who felt a need for new station in the area where GWR FM Wiltshire had for many years been the only commercial station, along with BBC Wiltshire Sound (now BBC Radio Wiltshire). Their target audience was between 25–55 years and the station played popular artists from the 1950s to the present day that catered for their audience, including local artists with specialist music shows, which the area had been lacking, as well as a local news service.
Another RSL transmission was broadcast in June and July 2002, focusing more on local talent to present the station's programming.

### Swindon FM (2003–2006)

In 2003, Swindon FM began broadcasting from new studios at Old Town Court as a DAB-only station – the first local station of its kind in the United Kingdom. Swindon FM broadcast at first on Saturdays and Sundays between 6am and 10pm before expanding to a full seven days-a-week service later in the year – an event marked by a weekend-long countdown of one hundred songs voted for by the public. Other feature programming on the station included The What's On Guide and The Winning Weekend.
The launch of a DAB station (by now, run completely by volunteers) also marked a change in Swindon FM's target audience to 35-years and over, concentrating on the older range of the scale.
In 2005, Swindon FM applied to Ofcom for a local FM licence, and at this time GWR-FM's parent company, GCap, invested in a 20% share of Swindon FM. Following a successful campaign to prove there was an audience for a second commercial radio licence for Swindon, Swindon FM ultimately lost out to another group, Now FM (who began broadcasting as Brunel FM and were owned by The Local Radio Company).

### Closure

At 2pm on Friday 12 May 2006, the station ceased transmission after running into difficulties with its premises, leaving Swindon FM homeless. At the end of the year, the team behind Swindon FM applied for a Community Radio licence but lost out to Swindon 105.5.

# Tom Howard (British politician)

Tom Forrest Howard DCM (23 December 1888 – 12 June 1953) was a British politician.

## Early life

Howard left school at the age of fourteen to become a bookbinder. He established his own stationery business at the age of nineteen. He became involved in Conservative politics before the First World War, and was a supporter of the Tariff Reform League. During the war he fought on the Western Front, and was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for conspicuous gallantry at the Battle of Cambrai. He ended the war with the rank of sergeant major.

## Local elections

In 1922 he fought his first election, winning a seat on Finsbury Borough Council, serving until 1925. In 1925 he was elected to the London County Council as one of two councillors representing Islington South. He was a member of the Municipal Reform Party, the Conservative-backed group that held a majority on the county council. He lost his county council seat at the next election in 1928, but regained it in 1931, before being unseated again in 1934.

## Parliamentary elections

Howard first contested an election to the House of Commons in 1924 as Conservative candidate for Islington South. He failed to be elected, and contested the seat in 1929, again without success.
On his third attempt he was elected MP for Islington South at the 1931 general election, benefiting from a collapse in the Labour vote. At the next election in 1935 the Labour Party regained the seat.
Howard continued to contest elections up to his death: at Islington South in 1945, at a 1947 by-election at Islington West in 1947, and at Islington South West in 1950 and 1951.
He was President of the Islington South West Conservative Association at the time of his death, aged 64, in a London hospital in 1953.

# Great Fire of London in popular culture

The Great Fire of London has been discussed, referenced, or recreated in popular culture numerous times.
The diaries kept by Samuel Pepys during the period became very popular in the following decades.
William Harrison Ainsworth's novel Old St Paul's is set during the events of the fire.
The Great Fire was released on ITV television in 2014. It was shown in four episodes. It constructs a fictional scenario involving the Pudding Lane baker's family in an alleged popish plot.
The round "London's Burning" is said to be about the Great Fire. However, the first notation of a song in this theme dates from 1580 as "Scotland's Burning".
The musical, Bumblescratch by Robert J. Sherman is set during the Great Plague of 1665 and the Great Fire of London in 1666. The musical premiered as part of the 350th Anniversary commemoration of the Great Fire on September 4, 2016 at the Adelphi Theatre. The show starred actor Darren Day as the story's titular character, plague rat "Melbourne Bumblescratch". A cast album of the score was also released by SimG Records later that year.
The catchphrase of fictional firefighter Fireman Sam is "Great fires of London!" which is a reference to the Great Fire of London.
The 1982 Doctor Who serial "The Visitation" takes place during the final days of the Great Plague of 1665 and ends with the Fifth Doctor starting the Great Fire to destroy a Terileptil base hidden in Pudding Lane.
In the 2005 film Batman Begins, Ra's al Ghul, the leader of the League of Shadows, states that the League "Sacked Rome, loaded trade ships with plague rats, burned London to the ground".
The Grisly Great Fire of London is a special episode in the Horrible Histories TV series, released in 2016 to mark the 350th anniversary of the fire.
"Timequake", a feature in the 1978 science fiction comic Starlord, suggested that the fire was inadvertently started by inept time-travelling agents.
