Harry Arthur Crowhurst (14 March 1868 – 8 December 1943) was a photographer, optician and partner in a lantern and optical supply business.

Life and Times
In 1868, Crowhurst was born at St George the Martyr, London. He was the son of William Henry and Julia Ann Crowhurst. He had one brother, Walter William, and 2 sisters, Ellen Mable and Julia May.
In 1943, he died at Southampton, Hampshire, England.
In 1891, the Census of England and Wales noted that Crowhurst, age 23, had the occupation as optician.
In 1900, he teamed with Harold Armytage Sanders to form the firm of Sanders and Crowhurst.
In 1901, the Census of England and Wales noted that Crowhurst, age 33, listed occupation as optician.
In May 1905, Crowhurst married the daughter of James Williamson, noted film pioneer, and took over the Williamson business.

W. Watson and Son
W. Watson and Son was an optical instrument maker. In 1837, the William Watson business was established in London for the manufacture of optical instruments. By the 1840s, the company moved into lanterns, slides and associated equipment. In 1868, the name was changed to W. Watson & Son and by this time were located at 313 High Holborn, London. In the 1870s, the company added photographic equipment and became known as a leading manufacturer of the Highest Class Photographic Instruments and Apparatus in England. Into the 1940s, the company remained at 313 High Holborn, London, England.

Sanders & Crowhurst

Established in 1900, Crowhurst teamed with Harold Armytage Sanders to form the firm of Sanders and Crowhurst that became an agent for W. Watson and Son. The going interest was to serve as lantern and slide dealers and also offer service as opticians. The partnership dissolved on 21 October 1908. When the partnership dissolved in 1908, Sanders continued in business as Sanders and Company at the Shaftesbury Avenue address, and Crowhurst continued in business at the Hove branch location.

In geometry, an affine plane is a two-dimensional affine space.

Examples
Typical examples of affine planes are
Euclidean planes, which are affine planes over the reals equipped with a metric, the Euclidean distance. In other words, an affine plane over the reals is a Euclidean plane in which one has "forgotten" the metric (that is, one does not talk of lengths nor of angle measures). 
 Vector spaces of dimension two, in which the zero vector is not considered as different from the other elements
 For every field or division ring F, the set F2 of the pairs of elements of F
 The result of removing any single line (and all the points on this line) from any projective plane

Coordinates and isomorphism
All the affine planes defined over a field are isomorphic. More precisely, the choice of an affine coordinate system (or, in the real case, a Cartesian coordinate system) for an affine plane P over a field F induces an isomorphism of affine planes between P and F2.

In the more general situation, where the affine planes are not defined over a field, they will in general not be isomorphic. Two affine planes arising from the same non-Desarguesian projective plane by the removal of different lines may not be isomorphic.

Definitions
There are two ways to formally define affine planes, which are equivalent for affine planes over a field. The first one consists in defining an affine plane as a set on which a vector space of dimension two acts simply transitively. Intuitively, this means that an affine plane is a vector space of dimension two in which one has "forgotten" where the origin is. In incidence geometry, an affine plane is defined as an abstract system of points and lines satisfying a system of axioms.

Applications
In the applications of mathematics, there are often situations where an affine plane without the Euclidean metric is used instead of the Euclidean plane. For example, in a graph, which can be drawn on paper, and in which the position of a particle is plotted against time, the Euclidean metric is not adequate for its interpretation, since the distances between its points or the measures of the angles between its lines have, in general, no physical importance (in the affine plane the axes can use different units, which are not comparable, and the measures also vary with different units and scales).

The Ok Tedi is a river in New Guinea. The Ok Tedi Mine is located near the headwaters of the river, which is sourced in the Star Mountains. It is the second largest tributary of the Fly River. Nearly the entirety of the river runs through the North Fly District of the Western Province of Papua New Guinea, but the river crosses the international boundary with Indonesia for less than one kilometre. The largest settlement of the Western Province, Tabubil is located near its banks.

Description
Known as the Ok Tedi River by the Yonggom people who live on its western bank, it was renamed the Alice River by the Italian explorer Luigi d'Albertis. Ok is the word for water or river in the Ok languages family. It is a tributary of the Fly River. Tributaries of the Ok Tedi include the Birim.

The Kiunga-Tabubil Highway runs parallel with the river for the majority of its course, until just south of Ningerum where the highway veers southeast towards Kiunga, a port town on the Fly River.

The river is extremely fast-moving and has a massive capacity. It is situated on a sand bank, which allows for the river to change course quickly without warning. The sand conditions underneath the river and the extremely high rainfall of the catchment area make it one of the fastest moving rivers in the world. The roar from the river can be heard for many kilometres through the dense jungle of the district.

The pristine river was devastated by the Ok Tedi environmental disaster, an enormous open pit copper/gold mine which discharges waste directly into the river. Until its seizure by the Government of Papua New Guinea, the mine was owned by BHP.

Harris Huizingh  (born 10 February 1963) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Career
Huizingh was born in Ter Apel. On 29 April 1984, he made his debut in the first team for FC Groningen, during a 4–0 victory against Sparta Rotterdam. However, it was not until the season after when he was 22 years old did he get a permanent starting place in the 1985–86 season from trainer Han Berger. Thanks to his good technique, he quickly received the nickname The Wizard of Ter Apel. He made an impression during his first season, but to the surprise of many, Huizingh left for BV Veendam after that season. Berger's successor, Rob Jacobs, did not think Huizingh was good enough.

After four years in which the club was relegated twice and promoted once, Huizingh signed for FC Groningen again in 1990. That season, the club, with Hans Westerhof as trainer, finished third in the Eredivisie. After the 1990–91 season, Leo Beenhakker wanted to bring Huizingh to Ajax, but Groningen did not want to let him go. They asked for a high transfer fee and Ajax dropped out of the transfer. In the years that followed Huizingh increasingly suffered from injuries.

After the 1998–99 season, Huizingh left Groningen. He was already 36 years old, but was signed by SC Heerenveen who went on to be runners-up until he league. Consequently, a year later, he became the second-oldest player to ever play in the UEFA Champions League.

After two seasons with Heerenveen, Huizingh quit playing football. He went on to coach many amateur teams in his local region.
