The Stourbridge Railway was a small independent railway company in England which existed between 1860, and 1870 when it was taken over by the Great Western Railway (GWR). The company built a line from the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway (OWWR) at  to Smethwick, where it joined the Stour Valley Line at Galton Junction.

History

Opening
The act incorporating the company was passed on 14 June 1860, allowing it to build a three and a half mile long line from Stourbridge Junction to , another act was passed the following year to allow it to reach the Stour Valley Line at Smethwick. The route was open in full by 1 April 1867.

GWR link to Handsworth
The OWWR had come under the control of the GWR by this time, and so in order to integrate the Stourbridge Railway with their system, the GWR constructed a link from the Stourbridge Railway at Smethwick to Handsworth Junction, which was opened at the same time, connecting it to the GWR's Birmingham Snow Hill to Wolverhampton Low Level Line, allowing trains to run into Snow Hill station. The running of the line was also taken over by the GWR.

Merger with the GWR
The Stourbridge Railway was formally merged with the GWR in 1870 after it emerged that the company's director W. T. Adcock had fraudulently issued stock.

The route today
The line still functions today as part of the Birmingham to Worcester via Kidderminster Line.

The Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) is a certification awarded by the Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) of Bethesda, Maryland to individuals who meet eligibility criteria and demonstrate current competency standards measured through the CTP examination. More than 30,000 individuals have earned the credential.

Background
Once a CTP, certificants must abide by the CTP Standards of ethical conduct and must enhance their level of knowledge and skills by earning and reporting a prescribed number of continuing finance and business education credits every three years. The credential can be revoked by the Certification Committee of AFP for unethical behavior or by failure to earn and report continuing education credits.  Typically, the CTP Exam changes every three years when a new Essentials of Treasury Management text is issued.

Before 1986, the AFP awarded the Certified Cash Manager (CCM) and beginning in 2003 the CCM certification was phased into the current CTP to reflect the expanding role of treasury within corporate finance.

Russell D. Ramsey Triangle, a triangle-shaped traffic median in Brooklyn, New York City, memorializes an individual who devoted his life to the firefighting profession, working out of the nearby New York City Fire Department dispatch station at 35 Empire Boulevard for nearly a quarter-century. This triangle is bound by Empire Boulevard, Washington Avenue, and Franklin Avenue.

Russell D. Ramsey was born in Manhattan on March 18, 1929. He was the middle son of William Culbert and Edna Loretta Ramsey, who were both natives of Barbados. Ramsey's lifelong dream was to be a New York City firefighter. Barred from becoming this profession because of an eyesight deficiency, he entered the ranks of the New York City Fire Department in November 1956 as a Fire Alarm Dispatcher. On November 12, 1966, Ramsey became the first African American to be promoted to the rank of Chief Dispatcher in the New York City Fire Department. He was also considered the foremost expert on Brooklyn firehouse history and architecture, and served as a member of both the elite Historical Advisory Committee of the New York City Fire Museum and the Brooklyn Historical Society.

Russell D. Ramsey retired on March 31, 1990, and resided in Brooklyn until his death on September 29, 1992. The City Council designated this .07-acre location as the Russell D. Ramsey Memorial Triangle in 1998. The site was chosen because of its proximity to Ramsey's workplace. The triangle is bounded by Empire Boulevard, Washington Avenue and Franklin Avenue in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn.

Ukatnyy or Ukatny is an island in the northern Caspian Sea. It is located off the eastern end of the mouths of the Volga.

Ukatnyy Island is marshy. It has a length of 6.2 km and a maximum width of 4.3 km. It lies in an offshore oil producing area.

Ukatnyy is a disputed island. According to Russia administratively this island belongs to the Astrakhan Oblast of the Russian Federation, but Kazakhstan had assumed the island was part of its historical territory and includes it in its Atyrau Region.  
Other disputed islands near Ukatny are the following:
Zhestky (Ostrov Zhestky) . Located about 8 km to the WSW of Ukatny's southern tip.
Maly Zhemchuzhny . More a sandbank than a proper island.

Shawnee State Fishing Lake  is approximately  northwest of Topeka, Kansas, and is in northern Shawnee County, Kansas.  This lake is sometimes confused with Lake Shawnee, on the east side of Topeka.  It is a  surface area lake with a maximum depth of .  This is a manmade freshwater lake, which was constructed in the late 1960s.  The lake is widest at the dam, which is at the south end of the lake.  It can be reached by a number of roads.  The only asphalted road reaching it is on the southeast corner.  To the north is 94th Street and on the west side is Humphrey Road.

Shawnee State Fishing Lake allows boating and fishing.  In fact, the lake's website states boats may be used on the lake only for fishing.  A public boat ramp is located at the lake's southeast corner, just north of the dam.  The lake is regularly stocked with catfish.  Various other fishes are also in reasonable numbers in the lake.  Thirteen rock jetties have been built into the lake to serve as fishing piers.  A number of campsites have been established along the lake's shore.  These are all considered primitive, meaning they have no electrical or water hookups.  However, three public pit toilets are located on the lake shores.

Hunting by shotgun and archery is allowed on the property in December and January.  No other weapons may be used for hunting.  On the east side of the lake, the Shawnee County Hunter Education Facility and Shooting Range provides hunter education classes.

Optical relief (usually noted as simply relief) is a visually observable property in optical mineralogy used to identify minerals based on their refractive index.   Relief is determined by observing the degree to which grains stand out from a mounting medium of known refractive index ,usually either oil or Canada Balsam.  Relief is an important part of the Becke line test.

Magnitude
Minerals that stand out significantly (have a difference in refractive index of .12 or more) have high or strong relief, and will have very sharp boundaries between itself and the material it is next to.  Intermediate is .04 to .12, and low or weak is less than .04.  Low relief materials have boundaries that are hard to distinguish from each other.

Polarity
Relief is said to be positive when the refractive index of the mineral is higher than the refractive index of the medium, and negative when the opposite occurs. In regular observations, only the magnitude of relief can be seen (minerals with positive and negative relief will look the same) and other techniques (such as the Becke Line Method) must be employed in order to determine if a mineral has positive or negative relief.

Albin Herzog (1852–1909) was a Swiss mathematician who was director of the ETH Zurich.

Life and work 
Herzog studied in  the high schools of Steckborn and Frauenfeld. Between 1870 and 1874 he studied mathematics al Polytechnicum of Zurich and in 1875 he was awarded a doctorate from the University of Zurich. The same year he began teaching at Polytechnicum of Zurich, where he remained the rest of his life, as director of the Mechanical Technical Department and General Manager from 1895 to 1899.  During his time as general manager, Albert Einstein flunked the entrance exam, failing in French, chemistry, and biology, but Herzog seeing his extraordinary marks in physics and mathematics, recommended Einstein spend a year in the  of Aarau, promising to admit him the following year.

Herzog was an outstanding professor who connected the mathematical basis of mechanics with his practical applications. He also published several articles on mathematical mechanics.

Besides his academic activities, Herzog was president of the escolar commission (1889–1993) and councilor of the city of Zurich.

The 1945 San Diego State Aztecs football team represented San Diego State College during the 1945 college football season.

San Diego State did not field a team in 1943 and 1944 due to World War II. For this shortened first post-war season, San Diego State was again a member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA), but only two CCAA schools fielded a team so there was no champion named. The team was led by head coach Bob Breitbard in his first and only season with the Aztecs. They played home games at Balboa Stadium in San Diego, California. The Aztecs finished the season with two wins and five losses (2–5, 1–0 CCAA). Overall, the team was outscored by its opponents 65–163 for the season.

Sandrew Metronome is a Scandinavian film distribution company formed in the 1990s. It was one of the biggest distributor companies in the Nordic countries. Sandrew Metronome was established by the Swedish company Sandrews and the Danish Metronome. Later the Norwegian media company Schibsted acquired Metronome and became joint owner with Sandrews. Schibsted gained sole ownership in 2006, but later divested its holdings of Sandrew Metronome to a group of investors and its former CEO in 2013.

Between 2005 and 2007 Sandrew Metronome sold its cinemas. In 2011 the company ceased its theatrical distribution operations leaving it with only the DVD distribution.

Sandrew Metronome was for decades one of the leading Scandinavian majors. Historically, revenue was generated from the exploitation of its content through traditional distribution platforms, including theatrical distribution, home entertainment and television. Sandrew Metronome also owned movie theatres in Sweden, Denmark and Finland with the No. 2 position in the Nordics.

For several years, Sandrew Metronome was the Nordic distributor for films by Warner Bros. and had also acquired the Nordic rights to films from Focus Features, Miramax, Pathé, and Lionsgate.

The business has since then been repositioned to having a sharp focus on exploitation of and investment in entertainment content for digital distribution platforms.

Sandrew Metronome holds a broad collection of valuable intellectual property and commercially successful and critically acclaimed entertainment content, such as movies, TV series and music catalogue rights. In the movie catalogue are, among others, the following award-winning titles: Der Untergang, The Queen, Lost In Translation, The Phantom Of The Opera, and Volver.
