Daniel Appleton

Daniel Appleton (December 10, 1785 – March 27, 1849) was an American publisher who founded D. Appleton & Co.
Early life
Daniel Appleton was born on December 10, 1785, in Haverhill, Massachusetts. He was the son of Daniel Appleton (1750–1828) and Lydia (née Ela) Appleton (1747–1826).
Career
After a few years of schooling, he started a general store in Haverill. He moved to Boston and had his business office at 21 Broad Street, where he sold dry-goods imported from England. Finally, in 1825, he moved to New York City where he gradually combined the importing of books with the dry-goods trade. The book department was placed in charge of William Henry Appleton, his eldest son.
Later, he moved to Clinton Hall, Beekman Street, and devoted himself to the importation and sales of books, abandoning his dry-goods business. He published his first book in 1831. He gradually diversified. In 1841, he began offering children's books. In 1845, he began sending books to Latin America which—despite his lack of contacts—turned out to be a good market for him due to its recent independence from Spain. His business in that region was enduring and profitable. In 1847, he started offering travel literature.
The firm which he established in New York City became known as D. Appleton & Co. The publications of the house extend over the entire field of literature. The firm's New American Cyclopedia was for 50 years the largest and most widely circulated work of its kind ever produced in the United States. His company was continued by his descendants.
Appleton retired in 1848.
Personal life
On December 18, 1813, Daniel married Hannah Adams (1791–1859), the daughter of John Adams and Dorcas Falkner, who bore him eight children:
William Henry Appleton (1814–1899), who married Mary Moody Worthen, daughter of Ezra Worthen and sister of William Ezra Worthen, in 1844.
Maria Louisa Appleton (b. 1815), who married James E. Cooley (1802–1882)
John Adams Appleton (1817–1881)
Charles Horatio Appleton (1819–1820)
George Swett Appleton (1821–1878), who married Caroline Osgood, daughter of Robert H. Osgood, in 1847.
Daniel Sidney Appleton (1824–1890), who married Melvina W. Marshall (d. 1878), daughter of Charles H. Marshall, in 1858.
Samuel Frances Appleton (1826–1883)
Sarah Emeline Appleton (1829–1861), who married Leopold Bossange, of Paris.
Appleton died in New York City on March 27, 1849.

Bond albedo

Bond albedo
The Bond albedo (also called spheric albedo, planetary albedo, and bolometric albedo), named after the American astronomer George Phillips Bond (1825–1865), who originally proposed it, is the fraction of power in the total electromagnetic radiation incident on an astronomical body that is scattered back out into space.
Because the Bond albedo accounts for all of the light scattered from a body at all wavelengths and all phase angles, it is a necessary quantity for determining how much energy a body absorbs. This, in turn, is crucial for determining the equilibrium temperature of a body.
Because bodies in the outer Solar System are always observed at very low phase angles from the Earth, the only reliable data for measuring their Bond albedo comes from spacecraft.
Phase integral
The Bond albedo (A) is related to the geometric albedo (p) by the expression
where q is termed the phase integral and is given in terms of the directional scattered flux I(α) into phase angle α (averaged over all wavelengths and azimuthal angles) as
The phase angle α is the angle between the source of the radiation (usually the Sun) and the observing direction, and varies from zero for light scattered back towards the source, to 180° for observations looking towards the source. For example, during opposition or looking at the full moon, α is very small, while backlit objects or the new moon have α close to 180°.
Examples
The Bond albedo is a value strictly between 0 and 1, as it includes all possible scattered light (but not radiation from the body itself). This is in contrast to other definitions of albedo such as the geometric albedo, which can be above 1. In general, though, the Bond albedo may be greater or smaller than the geometric albedo, depending on the surface and atmospheric properties of the body in question.

Saad al-Alami

Saad al-Alami
Saad el-Din el-Alami (1911 – 6 February 1993) was a Sunni Muslim religious leader of the Palestinian people and the fourth Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, in office from 1952 until his death.
Al-Alami was born in Jerusalem in 1911, and worked as a sharia judge in Ramallah from 1948–51 and in Nablus from 1951–53. The Alamis were a notable family in the Jerusalem area generally. In 1952, the Jordanian Jerusalem Islamic Waqf appointed Saad al-Alami as Mufti of Jerusalem in succession to Hussam ad-Din Jarallah.

Galatea (moon)

Galatea (moon)
Galatea , also known as Neptune VI, is the fourth-closest inner moon of Neptune. It is named after Galatea, one of the fifty Nereids of Greek legend, with whom Cyclops Polyphemus was vainly in love.
Discovery
Galatea was discovered in late July 1989 from the images taken by the Voyager 2 probe. It was given the temporary designation S/1989 N 4. The discovery was announced (IAUC 4824) on 2 August 1989, and mentions "10 frames taken over 5 days", implying a discovery date of sometime before July 28. The name was given on 16 September 1991.
Physical properties
Galatea is irregularly shaped and shows no sign of any geological modification. It is likely that it is a rubble pile re-accreted from fragments of Neptune's original satellites, which were smashed up by perturbations from Triton soon after that moon's capture into a very eccentric initial orbit.
Orbit
Galatea's orbit lies below Neptune's synchronous orbit radius, so it is slowly spiralling inward due to tidal deceleration and may eventually impact the planet or break up into a new planetary ring system upon passing its Roche limit due to tidal stretching.
Galatea appears to be a shepherd moon for the Adams ring that is outside its orbit. Resonances with Galatea in the ratio 42:43 are also considered the most likely mechanism for confining the unique ring arcs that exist in this ring. Galatea's mass has been estimated based on the radial perturbations it induces on the ring.
Notes
Since Galatea is irregularly shaped, the actual surface gravity and escape velocity will vary significantly between different positions on the surface.

حرائق الغابات في المملكة المتحدة 2019

حرائق الغابات في المملكة المتحدة 2019
حرائق الغابات في المملكة المتحدة عام 2019 كانت عبارة عن سلسلة من حرائق الغابات التي بدأت في 26 فبراير عام 2019 وانتهت في 18 مايو عام 2019. اعتبرت سلسلة حرائق الغابات غير اعتيادية نظرًا لوقوعها في وقت مبكر من العام. شملت المناطق المتضررة من حرائق الغابات في عام 2019 تلك التي كانت قد احترقت بالفعل بسبب حرائق الغابات في صيف عام 2018. سببت الحرائق العديد من مشكلات التلوث الجوي في المملكة المتحدة. تُعزى أسباب معظم الحرائق إلى ارتفاع درجات حرارة أعلى بكثير من المتوسط وظروف القحط السائدة منذ ربيع عام 2018. سُجل 137 حريقًا امتد لأكثر من 25 هكتارًا (250,000 متر مربع) في المملكة المتحدة في عام 2019. تجاوز ذلك الرقم القياسي السابق البالغ 79 حريقًا من عام 2018.
خلفية
تعد حرائق الغابات حدثًا سنويًا شائعًا في المملكة المتحدة، رغم أنها نادرًا ما تكون خطيرة وتكون ذات تأثير محدود بصورة عامة. وفقًا لهيئة الغابات، بين عامي 2009 و2017، احترق نحو 4,600 هكتار (11,000 فدان؛ 18 ميل مربع) من الأراضي بسبب حرائق الغابات كل عام في إنجلترا، وغطت معظمها أقل من 1 هكتار (2.5 فدان؛ 12,000 ياردة مربعة) بينما تجاوزت خمسة فقط منها مساحة تزيد عن 1,000 هكتار (2,500 فدان؛ 3.9 ميل مربع). باستثناء السنوات التي تمتاز بمعدل هطول أمطار أعلى من المتوسط، تحدث حرائق الغابات في المملكة المتحدة عادةً في موجتين بين مارس وأبريل، ويوليو وسبتمبر، وتكون غير شائعة قبل الربيع. يُسمح بإشعال الحرائق المحكومة لتنظيم نمو نبات الكالونا في إنجلترا واسكتلندا من أكتوبر حتى منتصف أبريل.
شهدت المملكة المتحدة سابقًا عددًا كبيرًا من حرائق الغابات في صيف عام 2018 بعد نوبات ارتفاع درجات الحرارة وانخفاض مستويات هطول الأمطار في الأشهر السابقة. وقعت فترات ملحوظة أخرى من زيادة نشاط حرائق الغابات الوطنية رافقتها سنوات تميزت بانخفاض مستويات هطول الأمطار عن المتوسط، كما حدث في الأعوام 1976 و2003 و2006 و2011.
الأسباب
اعتُبرت درجات الحرارة المرتفعة في فبراير وأبريل عوامل مساهمة في مدى انتشار حرائق الغابات في وقت مبكر من العام. في 26 فبراير، بلغت أعلى درجة حرارة شتاء مسجلة على الإطلاق في المملكة المتحدة 21.2 درجة مئوية (70.2 درجة فهرنهايت) في حدائق النباتات الملكية (كيو). كان سبب ذلك هو نظام الضغط العالي فوق أوروبا الوسطى الذي دفع الهواء من خطوط العرض الجنوبية نحو المملكة المتحدة وأيرلندا، ما أدى إلى ظروف جافة مستقرة وطقس دافئ غير معتاد. تجاوزت إنجلترا واسكتلندا وويلز جميعها درجات الحرارة الإقليمية المسجلة الخاصة بها، إذ تجاوزت إنجلترا وويلز 20.0 درجة مئوية (68.0 درجة فهرنهايت) في فصل الشتاء لأول مرة. شهدت عطلة عيد الفصح في أواخر أبريل ظروفًا جوية دافئة للغاية. سجلت اسكتلندا وويلز وأيرلندا الشمالية أعلى درجات حرارة في عيد الفصح في 20 أبريل، إذ سجلت جميع الدول الأربع في المملكة المتحدة أعلى درجات حرارة في يوم الاثنين الذي يتلو عيد الفصح.

Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur

Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur is a hotel located in Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is managed by Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. The hotel has 662 rooms and suites.
Construction was completed on 19 September 1984 with the opening held on 20 April 1985.
It was voted the best hotel in Kuala Lumpur by public vote at the Kuala Lumpur Mayor's Tourism Awards 2014.
Design and construction
Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur was designed by architects Jurubena Bertiga International of Malaysia, and Kanko Kikaku Sekkeisha of Japan as part of the UBN Complex in the center of the city. It was the first of three buildings in the complex to open, on 20 April 1985, ahead of the 140m 35-floor UBN Tower which open the following year, and the UBN apartments. The original interior design was created by Graham Solano, and the landscape gardening was completed by Belt Collins.
The hotel was refurbished in 2002.
Features
The hotel has 662 rooms of which 101 are suites. The hotel also has seven restaurants and a ballroom.
Location
Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur is on Jalan Sultan Ismail, also known as Treacher Road, in central Kuala Lumpur. The area is named after Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah, the fourth Yang Di Pertuan Agong, and is part of the Kuala Lumpur Inner Ring Road.
Charitable Works
The hotel began a project titled "Gift of Life" in 1985 and has received media attention and the recognition of the Malaysian government for its support of Nor Fatihah Sewah, a girl born without her lower limbs. Through the project, Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur adopted Nor Fatihah Sewah in 1997 and has sponsored the replacement of her limbs with prosthetics every five years, with the most recent fitting in November 2012.
Malaysia's Tourism Minister Ng Yen Yen brought attention to the hotel's charitable works in 2012 by presenting a check for RM180,000 raised by the hotel to seven children in need of assistance, including Nor Fatihah Sewah. Minister Ng Yen Yen stated that such financial assistance for children in need of aid in Malaysia required the help of non-Governmental organisations such as the Shangri-La Hotel's initiative.
