The Clock Tower of Haridwar, also known as the Raja Birla Tower, is a landmark freestanding clock tower, built by Raja Baldev Das Birla in 1938 in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India. Each of its four sides has a clock, with Roman numerals representing hours and dots depicting the minutes. The structure marks a good location from which to watch the evening prayers at Har Ki Pauri. 

The surrounding area has been used as a media platform for the Kumbh Mela. Prior to the 2021 Kumbh Mela artist Harshvardhan Kadam painted it in red and gold murals to express Hindu mythological stories based on the writings and ideas of the Vaimānika Shāstra.

History
The Clock Tower of Haridwar, India. also known as the Raja Birla Tower and Ghantaghar, was built by Raja Baldev Das Birla, the founder of the Birla Group, in 1938. Many clock towers were built in India before it was common to own a watch. The tower daily evening Hindu prayers at Har Ki Pauri are easily seen from the tower. In 2010 a platform was constructed close to the tower from which nearly 300 media personnel watched the main bathing day of the Kumbh Mela that year.

The tower is on Malviya Island, named after Madan Mohan Malaviya, opposite the steps of Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar. The structure is freestanding and  high. It has four sides, each with a clock face, that use Roman numerals to represent the hours and dots to depict the minutes. The surrounding island has marble flooring, is shaped like a boat, and has its own ghat (steps) to enter the river Ganges. Until 1979 it was connected to other local bathing spots by three bridges.

Prior to the 2021 Kumbh Mela, the artist Harshvardhan Kadam painted the tower with red and gold murals to express mythological stories based on the work and ideas of the Vaimānika Shāstra. The work was part of the Haridwar Mural Project, in collaboration with the Namami Gange Programme and art retailer Mojarto: a venture to find non-traditional platforms to display religious art in Haridwar and to safeguard the river Ganges.

Pseudo-Ingulf is the name given to an unknown English author of the Historia Monasterii Croylandensis, also known as the Croyland Chronicle. Nothing certain is known of Pseudo-Ingulf although it is generally assumed that he was connected with Croyland Abbey.

The Historia Monasterii Croylandensis is attributed to Abbot Ingulph, an 11th-century Abbot of Croyland, but is generally accepted to be a 14th-century work. Those parts of the work written after Pseudo-Ingulf, that is in the 15th century, are considered a valuable source. Pseudo-Ingulf himself is not; while he may have had access to genuine traditions or documents at Croyland, "he misunderstood or garbled these beyond any possibility of recognition".

A number of distinguished 19th-century historians attempted to extract reliable material from Pseudo-Ingulf, notably E. A. Freeman and Sir Francis Palgrave, with limited success.

The Karanjadi train crash was an accident resulting in derailment of a passenger train at Karanjadi, a village in Maharashtra, India, on 17 June 2004. 20 people were killed and well over 100 injured in the crash, which was the result of heavy monsoon rains.

Overview 

At 6.10am, the Matsyagandha Express passenger train, transporting commuters between Mangalore and Mumbai, was on a section of the Konkan Railway line between Veer and Karanjadi, when the engine ran headlong into the debris of a landslide caused by heavy monsoon rains, which had collapsed part of a hillside across the track, crushing steel nets put there to prevent such a fall.  Due to the hilly terrain, the driver was unable to see the obstruction until much too late, and the engine with eleven carriages derailed and fell some way down the hillside and off a bridge.

The same heavy rainfall that caused the crash dampened the wreckage, preventing a possible fire, which could have killed hundreds, as the injured survivors were forced to wait several hours until rescuers could arrive, again thanks to the difficult terrain.  The engine had fallen, with the lead carriage off a bridge into a stream, and local people were vital in rescuing those who had fallen in, and saved many lives before emergency services arrived.

The death toll for the crash was initially believed to be 14 dead with 115 injured, but removal of the wreckage uncovered six more bodies underneath. 30 of those injured were critically ill patients being transported to a hospital in Mumbai, although all are thought to have survived the crash.  Relatives of the dead were paid ₹10,000 in compensation, slightly less than is normal in such circumstances.

A thorough investigation was ordered, but the cause was straightforward.  India has problems with landslides on her railways, as the Vaibhavwadi rail disaster almost exactly a year before shows.  In that crash, vital anti-collision devices weren't installed when they should have been, and here too, adequate precautionary measures before the fact might have prevented the crash.

Cosimo Bartoli (December 20, 1503 in Florence – October 25, 1572) was an Italian diplomat, mathematician, philologist, and humanist. He worked and lived in Rome and Florence and took minor orders. He was a friend of architect and writer Giorgio Vasari, and helped him to get his Vite ready for publication.

Life 
Bartoli worked in diplomatic circles, including as secretary to Cardinal Giovanni de’ Medici and as diplomatic agent for Duke Cosimo I. Bartoli wrote Ragionamenti accademici (Venice, 1567), which was mainly a criticism of Dante. One chapter, however, gave descriptions of composers and instrumentalists. He cited the composers Johannes Ockeghem and Josquin des Prez as equal to Donatello and Michelangelo in their respective arts, and stated that Ockeghem and Donatello were the precursors to Josquin and Michelangelo. In this book he also critiques architecture and painting, mainly focusing on the arts of his native Florence. He extolled the concept of invenzione in all the arts.

Works 
 

He also published a collection of translations of works by Leon Battista Alberti under the title Opuscoli Morali di Leon Batista Alberti, gentil’huomo firentino. Venice, 1568. These included:

Momo, ovvero del Principe
De’ discorsi de senatori, altrimenti Trivia
Dell’amministrare la regione

The men's relay competition of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics was held at Whistler Olympic Park in Whistler, British Columbia on February 26, 2010. The race consisted of four laps of cross-country skiing, each lap a total of 7.5 km. Every 2.5 km there would be a shooting zone, the first one is prone and the second one is standing. Any misses in the shooting zones count as penalties which must be completed by going around a penalty loop right after the second shooting zone. There were four racers per team, each completing one lap. As all the teams started together, the team that crossed the finish line first would win.

Results
The race started at 11:30.

Bruce Mackie Buck (born March 1946) is an American lawyer and founding managing partner of the London office of law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. He was also the Chairman of Chelsea Football Club. His practice areas are European mergers and acquisitions, project finance and capital markets.

Law career
Bruce Buck has been practising law in Europe since 1983. He left New York for England in 1983 for a “standard tour of duty” of two or three years with his previous law firm White & Case. Five years later he was headhunted by M&A specialists Skadden Arps to develop the firm's European practice from scratch and has stayed on ever since.

As the partner in charge of Skadden's European offices, his work includes a broad range of transactions in the capital markets area. Buck represents both European and non-European clients in a full range of crossborder financing transactions, generally in connection with equity offerings or high-yield and other debt financings.

Chelsea F.C.
Buck's involvement with Chelsea began through his position as European head of the American law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. Skadden Arps specialises in mergers, acquisitions and capital market transactions, and Buck had personally done legal work on a number of acquisitions for the Russian company Siberian Oil (Sibneft), through which he came to advise Russian-Israeli billionaire Roman Abramovich, formerly the majority shareholder in Sibneft.

The £140 million acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of the London Stock Exchange-listed company Chelsea Village plc was his first experience of taking over a football club.

Buck remained in his role, despite the ownership change at Chelsea in May 2022. This changed on 20 June 2022, when the club announced that he would be stepping down from his role effective 30 June, although he would continue to work for the club as a Senior Advisor. He was succeeded by club co-owner Todd Boehly as chairman.

The Virgin and Child with St. Anne (Dutch: ) by Jan van Steffeswert refers to two wooden sculptures in the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht, the Netherlands. One is unsigned and dated 1500, the other one is signed and dated but difficult to decipher (1511?). Jan van Steffeswert (ca. 1460–1530) was a woodcarver from the Netherlands who worked in Maastricht in the late 15th and early 16th century.

Unsigned sculpture 
Depictions of Christ Child with his mother and grandmother were popular in the late Middle Ages. The scene frequently shows Mary and Christ reading. In the unsigned sculpture in the Bonnefantenmuseum, the child is shown grasping a bowl of porridge. Due to the relatively small size and the emphasis on domesticity, it has been suggested that the sculpture had been commissioned for a home rather than a church. The Bonnefantenmuseum acquired it in 1993 from the parish church of Saint Martin in Eijsden, close to Maastricht.

The sculpture is dated 1500 but unsigned. According to Van Steffeswert expert Peter te Poel it bears all the characteristics of the Maastricht master sculptor. In 2016, the sculpture was selected as one of the ten most influential artworks from the Netherlands in the project Europeana 280.

Signed sculpture 
Van Steffesweert was one of the first woodcarvers in the Meuse region to sign his work, although not all his work is signed and the signatures vary ("IAN", "IAN VAN STEFFESWERT", "IAN VAN WEERD", "IAN BIELDESNIDER", etc). There are to date (2020) fourteen works signed by him, of which there are five in the Bonnefantemuseum. The signed sculpture of the Virgin and Child with St. Anne was acquired in 2005 from the parish church of Our Lady in Pey-Echt. It bears the name IAN and the date 151[1?] (last digit illegible). It is almost double the size (86.2 cm) of the unsigned version. In this sculpture, Mary's lower right arm is missing, so it is unclear what she was holding. In a very similar version of the sculpture in the church of Saint Gertrude in Tüddern, Germany (signed and dated 1513), she is holding a flower.
