Allenwood () is a small Irish village in County Kildare situated on the Grand Canal. Allenwood is located about  from Dublin and halfway between Rathangan and Clane in north County Kildare. According to the CSO, Allenwood had a total population of 981 inhabitants in the 2016 census, an increase from 845 in the 2011 census.
The main road through Allenwood is the R403 and the village is within  of both the M4 (to the north) and M7 (to the south) motorways.

Businesses in the area are centred on the crossroads, and consist of several shops, including a Spar, a costcutter, a barbers and a public house. There are two primary schools that were amalgamated into one in 2017, Allenwood G.N.S built in 1957 and Allenwood B.N.S built in 1929. The school is located next to the church which was built in 1954.  There is also a business park at the location of the old power station.
The Grand Canal is traversed by means of a noteworthy bridge, known locally as the Shee Bridge.

History
Allenwood was developed in the nineteenth century as a coaching post along the Edenderry Road. Later residential development primarily occurred on local roads to the east of the village, typically as single plot developments.

Allenwood is the location of a former electricity power station which was fueled by peat from the surrounding bog lands. The station was built in 1952 by the Electricity Supply Board (ESB). The cooling tower which could be seen from over , was demolished shortly after the station was retired in 1994.

Bord na Móna which processed peat on the local boglands, established a camp for its workers at Allenwood Cross and the Roadstone quarry in Allen is also nearby.  The industrial park located to the north-west of the village has grown around the location of the former ESB power plant.

Recent developments

Allenwood has undergone expansion in the early 21st century, with a two-fold population increase (from 481 to 981 inhabitants) between the 2002 and 2016 censuses. Several larger homes have been built in the area as well as a number of housing estates and apartments. As of Spring 2019, there were three housing estates under development.
Traffic lights were also added in late 2016 at the towns major crossroads. There is now provision for a new playground and the proposed Grand Canal Greenway would be a local amenity.

Sport and recreation
The close proximity to the Grand Canal makes Allenwood a destination for fishing and walking.
The local football club Allenwood G.F.C. is situated on the Station Road and offers its premises for a variety of other sports and recreations including kick boxing, dancing, scouting and annual school sports days. 
The local soccer club, Allenwood Celtic, is located outside the village on the Edenderry Road. There were several golf courses within a  range of the village, but the nearest ones are now closed.

Stillingia tallow or Chinese vegetable tallow is a fatty substance extracted from the coat of the seeds of Triadica sebifera (Chinese tallow tree) or Triadica cochinchinensis (Mountain tallow tree).  It has traditionally been used for making candles.  This product must be distinguished from stillingia oil, that is extracted from the seeds of those trees.

The name of the substance was given when the two plants were classified in the genus Stillingia, with binomial names "Stillingia sebifera" and "Stillingia discolor". Sometime prior to 1950 the species were reclassified in the genus Sapium, and articles from the 1950s still use the names "Sapium sebiferum" and "Sapium discolor" However, since about 2002 the plants have been reclassified again in the genus Triadica, and the second one had its species name changed to "cochinchinensis".

The fruit of T. sebifera has a characteristic trilobed shape and contains three seeds surrounded by
a fibrous waxy coating, which contains the vegetable tallow fat. The seeds produce 20-30% w/w of tallow fat
and 10-17% w/w of stillingia oil.

Composition
Stillingia tallow is essentially a mixture of triglycerides (esters of glycerol and fatty acids).  The main triglycerides are glicerotriyl tripalmitate (5-30%) and 2-oleate,1,3-dipalmitate (~70%).

Uses
The "tallow" is reported to be edible, and may have applications in confectionery. However, it is not commonly used for that purpose; and the risk of contamination by the seed oil, which is toxic, is a possible concern.

Sahar Hassamain Synagogue ( "Gate of the Heavens") is the oldest synagogue in Portugal, built after the expulsion of Jews from the Iberian peninsula.

History
The Shaar Hashamayim synagogue is one of only a few remnants of Jewish culture in the Azores and in all of Portugal. Founded by Abraham Bensaúde along with other members of the Jewish community of the city in 1836, in a building purchased for this effect. It is the oldest synagogue in Portugal built after the expulsion of the Jews from the country. There were formerly five synagogues in Ponta Delgada
, and Shaar Hashamayim is the only one still existing.

The first references to the establishment of Jewish families in the Azores is from the first half of the nineteenth century. Jews came to the Azores from Morocco because of the economic restrictions that were being imposed on them there at the time. In the same period, the influence of the Catholic Church had declined in Portugal, and the advent of liberalism, particularly after the Liberal Revolution of Porto (1820), attracted Jews to the Azores. Jews were accepted at the time, in contrast to the persecution by the Inquisition in previous centuries. It is likely that those Jews that arrived had Portuguese ancestry. Family names from this period are Amiel, Abohbot, Benarus, Levy, Zagory and Besabat.

Today
Sahar Hassmain synagogue was closed for more than fifty years. As of March 2009 it is temporarily open on Saturdays for guided tours in the context of the celebrations of 420 years of the arrival of the first Jews to the Azores. Services are no longer conducted. The municipality undertook recently to support the recovery process of the synagogue although the property is owned by the Jewish Community of Lisbon. The synagogue is located on an upper floor of a building that also included the rabbi’s residence. The exterior of the building is not recognizable, since it was built with the façade of a typical Azorean dwelling house. The interior retains its original character and on display are some objects of worship, especially a chair of circumcision from 1819, chandeliers and diverse historical documentation in Hebrew. The archipelago came to have other synagogues on the islands of Terceira and Faial. Besides this synagogue, there remains only the Jewish cemetery of Santa Clara also in Ponta Delgada, from 1834, and the Cemetery in Angra do Heroismo from 1832.

In 2010, historical religious objects, manuscripts and printed documents were found which constituted a valuable collection of the history of the community.
The site of the former synagogue were donated by the Jewish Community of Lisbon and the Municipality of Ponta Delgada, which is finalizing the technical projects for the recovery of the property, seeking its reclassification as a museum and promoting it for cultural and tourism. In April 2015 it was announced that restoration was completed.

Encore is a studio album by American recording artist Wanda Jackson. It was released in 1988 via Amethyst Records and contained 11 tracks. The album was a collection of gospel selections and her second album with the Amethyst label. It was re-released on the Tab label in 1989 and was sold exclusively in Europe. It was the thirty fourth studio album of Jackson's career.

Background and content
Wanda Jackson became known to audiences though a series of country and Rockabilly recordings during the 1950s and 1960s. Examples included the singles "You Can't Have My Love" (1954), "Let's Have a Party" (1960), "In the Middle of a Heartache" (1961) and "Tears Will Be the Chaser for Your Wine" (1966). She left Capitol Records in the 1970s to concentrate more on gospel music. In the 1980s, Jackson was recording a mixture of gospel and country selections for various labels including Amethyst Records. Her second Amethyst project would be Encore, which was an 11-track collection of gospel songs recorded in 1988 at Studio Seven in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Sessions were produced by Gregg W. Gray.

Encore included covers of various gospel songs, including "I'll Fly Away" and "Just a Closer Walk with Thee". Also included is a re-recorded cover of "How Great Thou Art", which Jackson first recorded for her 1971 album Praise the Lord.  The record was originally released in 1988 on Amethyst Records as a cassette. It was Jackson's thirty fourth studio album released in her career. In 1989, it was re-released to European markets on the Tab record label. The album was distributed as a vinyl LP with an identical track listing. Tab had previously released albums by Jackson, beginning with 1984's Rockabilly Fever.

Argemone pinnatisecta, known as the Sacramento prickly poppy, is an angiosperm and part of the poppy family.  A very thorny looking perennial that grows up to a meter and a half in height.  The thorny stems are covered in bluish green serrated leaves with spiky tips.  The flower buds are also covered in these sharp thin thorns until they open, between May and August, revealing six white petals up to four centimeters long and nine centimeters wide, and a bright yellow anther with various stamens jetting out.  The fruits of plant contain black seeds about two millimeters in diameter.

Distribution
Argemone pinnatisecta only occurs in Otero County, New Mexico.  It has only been found among ten canyons in this region of the Sacramento Mountains.

Habitat and ecology
Argemone pinnatisecta is a perennial that only grows on the slopes and bottoms of canyons, and alongside the roads near the bottom of these canyons.  This species of plant enjoys newly disturbed soils that are very loose containing much gravel at land heights between 4,200 feet and 7,100 feet above sea-level.  In January the temperatures in the valleys are around 50 degrees Fahrenheit and higher elevations roughly around 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and during the summer months the temperatures can exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit.  Precipitation can range from 10 to 20 inches of rainfall on average annually.

Morphology, flowers and fruit
Individuals of this species are thorny herbaceous plant with many stems covered in serrated leaves and thorny buds and flowers.  The plant has sinuses that are square and broad, its veins and margins are armored in thin spiky thorns.  Argemone pinnatisecta has two to three sepals, six white petals, various stamens and bright yellow anthers.  This plant flowers between May and August after which it fruits, each fruit is covered in prickles encapsulating approximately 2mm diameter black seeds.

Conservation status
Argemone pinnatisecta in the 1980s numbered about 1300 individuals, however it has declined in recent years for unknown reasons.  This plant appears to be a secondary successional species that has been found in old un-maintained fields and alongside roadsides of areas where a past disturbance has occurred, this makes the plants appearance very episodic and less common. It has made the federal U.S. Endangered Species List.

Discovered by British engineer Christopher Cockerell, the momentum curtain is a unique and efficient way to reduce friction between a vehicle and its surface of travel, be it water or land, by levitating the vehicle above this surface via a cushion of air. It is this principle of levitation upon which a hovercraft is based, and Christopher Cockerell set about applying his momentum curtain theory to hovercraft to increase their abilities in overcoming friction in travel.

Levitating a vehicle above the ground/water to reduce its drag was not a new concept. John Thornycroft, in 1877, discovered that trapping air beneath a ship's hull, or pumping air beneath it with bellows, decreased the effects of friction upon the hull thereby increasing the ship's top attainable speeds. However, technology at the time was insufficient for Thornycroft's ideas to be developed further. 

Cockerell used the idea of pumped air under a hull (this then becoming a plenum, i.e. the opposite of a vacuum) and improved upon it further. Simply pumping air between a hull and the ground wasted a lot of energy in terms of leakage of air around the edges of the hull. Cockerell discovered that by means of generating a wall (curtain) of high-speed downward-directed air around the edges of a hull, that less air leaked out from the sides (due to the momentum of the high-speed air molecules), and thus a greater pressure could be attained beneath the hull. So, with the same input power, a greater amount of lift could be developed, and the hull could be lifted higher above the surface, reducing friction and increasing clearance. This theory was tried, tested and developed throughout the 1950s and 1960s until it was finally realised in full-scale in the SR-N1 hovercraft.

William E Hook (May 28, 1925 – May 10, 2010), born in New Rochelle, New York, was a Chess master and the Captain of the British Virgin Islands chess team.
  
Starting in 1968, Hook led the Virgin Islands team, and later the British Virgin Islands team, at numerous Chess Olympiads, mostly playing top board (the last one - he was playing at the age of 83!). At the Malta Olympiad of 1980, Hook won the gold medal on board 1 for best percentage result of any national team member. He defeated a grandmaster and several national champions along the way. To commemorate this achievement the British Virgin Islands issued a stamp in his honor.

During the preliminary rounds of the 1970 Siegen Olympiad, the Virgin Islands were paired with the USA team and Hook faced the legendary Bobby Fischer. Playing the black pieces, Hook ventured a pet line of the French Defence whereupon an exciting encounter developed, culminating in a stylish rook sacrifice by Fischer.

Hook authored a book as well as various magazine and newspaper articles about chess. In the art world, he is known for his one-man shows in painting and photography. He lived in Washington DC, with his wife Mimi, until his death on May 10, 2010.
