Ferula communis, the giant fennel, is a species of flowering plant in the carrot family Apiaceae. It is related to the common fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), which belongs to the same family.

Ferula communis is a tall herbaceous perennial plant. It is found in Mediterranean and East African woodlands and shrublands.
It was known in antiquity as laser
or narthex.

Human use
Its young stems and inflorescences were eaten in ancient Rome, and are still eaten in Morocco today. However, culinary uses of this species are not always safe and poisoning may occur.
In Sardinia two different chemotypes of Ferula communis have been identified: poisonous (especially to animals like sheep, goats, cattle, and horses) and non-poisonous.
They differ in both secondary metabolites patterning and enzymatic composition.

The resin of the subspecies F. communis subsp. brevifolia is called gum ammoniac of Morocco.

The phenolic compound ferulic acid is named for the giant fennel, from which it can be isolated.

In Ancient Greek mythology, Prometheus gave mortals fire by hiding it in the plant's hollow stalk. (cite Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound)

Resin extraction
Since antiquity, the resin of Ferula species has been used for medicinal purposes. The resin, in the form of a sticky latex, was usually extracted from the lower stalk or root, with the root resin being the finest-grade.

Where the resin of giant fennel (Ferula communis) was farmed, a small hole was pierced in its root with a sharp instrument, after clearing away all rocks and earth that cling to the exposed root. A small trench was dug beneath the root and overlayed with several smooth and flat stones at the bottom for collecting the exuded resin. The piercing was made deep enough into the root or lower stalk to ensure a steady flow of resin on its own pressure.

The resin was usually harvested in the dry and hot summer months, when dampness and moisture could not corrupt the resin. The resin hardens when exposed to the air, upon which it changes color to a brownish-red. The resin that exudes in coagulated, drop-like form is considered superior to that which runs down loosely.

As a tool for punishment
In the past, rods and whips for disciplinary purposes were made from the stalk of Ferula. From this, we have latin ferire (to hit), and also the Swedish färla (disciplinary tool used in schools in the past).

Max Valentin Schippel (6 December 1859, Chemnitz – 6 June 1928 Dresden) was German Social Democrat journalist and writer.

Schippel was the son of a school teacher. In the early 1880s he went to Berlin to study political economy under Adolph Wagner and fell under the influence of "State Socialism" ("Staatssozialismus") also being influenced by Albert Schäffle and Eugen Dühring. However he was later to embrace Marxism and joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), even though he always maintained a level of independence, sometimes trying to reconcile his prior views with the dominant themes of Marxism.

He was employed by the SPD first as editor of the Volksblatt (1886–7) and then the Volkstribune (1887–90).

In 1890 his proficiency as a public speaker attracted the attention of local leaders of the SPD and he successfully stood for the Reichstag in the election that year. Although critical of August Bebel he did not join Die Jungen, who felt he had lost his radical perspective.

The 1961 Labour Party leadership election was held when, for the second year in succession, the incumbent leader was challenged for re-election. Normally the annual re-election of the leader had been a formality.

The challenge followed factional in-fighting over issues like nuclear disarmament. The leader favoured the retention of nuclear weapons by the UK, whereas the left wing of the party supported the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

Candidates
Two candidates were nominated.

 The left-wing candidate the previous year had been Harold Wilson. In 1961 the candidate was a less well-known political figure, Tony Greenwood (1911–1982), then MP for the Lancashire constituency of Rossendale. He had been an MP since 1946 and was the son of Arthur Greenwood (1880–1954), who had been a Labour leadership candidate in 1935.
 The incumbent right-wing leader of the party was Hugh Gaitskell (1906–1963), who had been Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1950–51. Gaitskell had been MP for Leeds South since 1945 and party leader since 1955.

Ballot
The result of the only ballot of Labour MPs on 2 November was as follows:

Technical Sergeant George Robert Caron (October 31, 1919 – June 3, 1995) was the tail gunner, the only defender of the twelve crewmen, aboard the B-29 Enola Gay during the bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. Facing the rear of the B-29, his vantage point made him the first man to witness the mushroom cloud over Hiroshima.

Caron was also the only photographer aboard, and took photographs as the mushroom cloud ascended. Of the four 509th Composite Group aircraft assigned to the Hiroshima bombing, Caron's camera and two others captured the explosion on film. Immediately before the mission, the 509th's photography officer, Lieutenant Jerome Ossip, asked then Staff Sergeant Caron to carry a handheld Fairchild K-20 camera. After the mission, Ossip developed photos from all the aircraft, but found that the fixed cameras failed to record anything. Film from another handheld was mishandled in developing, making Caron's the only official still photographs of the explosion. 2nd Lt. Russell Gackenback, Navigator aboard then unnamed Necessary Evil, took two still photographs of the cloud about one minute after detonation using his personal AFGA 620 camera. A handheld 16 mm film camera on The Great Artiste captured the only known motion film of the explosion.  Caron's photographs of the explosion were printed on millions of leaflets that were dropped over Japan the next day.

Caron graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School (Brooklyn, New York) in 1938.

In May 1995, he published the book Fire of a Thousand Suns, The George R. "Bob" Caron Story, Tail Gunner of the Enola Gay about his "eye-witness account of the momentous event when the world was catapulted into the Atomic Age, the introduction of atomic capability, the technical development of the B-29, and the events that put him into the tail gun turret of the Enola Gay."

The Otaki by-election of 1900 was a by-election during the 14th New Zealand Parliament. The election was held on 6 January following the death of Henry Augustus Field, and was won by his brother William Hughes Field.

Background
The  electorate became vacant following the death on 8 December of Henry Augustus Field, two days after the . Before candidates had announced themselves, it was reported that Kennedy Macdonald was considering standing for the Liberal Party. The barrister Edwin George Jellicoe was also mentioned as a possible candidate. It was reported that it was likely that the brother of the deceased, William Hughes Field, would be asked to stand for the Liberal Party. The president of the Eighty Club, T. Dwan, was mentioned as a possible candidate for the opposition. The barrister Charles Morison, who had contested the 1899 general election, was a likely candidate again. William Field consented just after his brother's funeral, and the Liberal Party confirmed that had Field not been their candidate, they would have stood W. Ross of Upper Hutt as their candidate.

The deadline for nomination of candidates was 30 December 1899. In the end, only two candidates were nominated: William Field for the Liberal Party, and Charles Morison in the interests of the opposition.

The by-election was held on 6 January and was won by Field's brother William, who during the campaign showed that he was inexperienced in politics.

Results
The following table gives the election results:

The Rial ARC2 was a Formula One racing car manufactured and raced by Rial Racing for the 1989 Formula One season. It was powered by a Cosworth DFR V8 engine. Its best finish was at the 1989 United States Grand Prix when Christian Danner drove it to fourth place.

Development
Rial Racing had run the tidy Rial ARC1, designed by Gustav Brunner, in 1988 and had scored three points with it. For 1989, a new chassis, largely based on the previous year's car and designated the ARC2, was designed by Stefan Fober, with input from Bob Bell and Martin Goodrich. The chassis was configured with double wishbone pullrod suspension, front and rear, with Koni dampers. The wheelbase of the chassis was  and it had a front track of . The rear track was less, .

The ARC2 was powered by the Cosworth DFR 3.5 litre V8 engine. The engine was rated as having 595 bhp with a maximum rpm of 11,000. A Lucas ignition system was used and the car ran on Goodyear tyres. It carried sponsorship from Rial, the parent company of Rial Racing, the tobacco brand Marlboro, and La Cinq. A total of three chassis were built for the 1989 season.

Racing history
Having run a single car for Andrea de Cesaris the previous season, Rial Racing expanded to two entries for 1989. De Cesaris had moved to BMS Scuderia Italia for 1989 and was replaced with the relatively experienced German Christian Danner. Driving the second car was Formula One novice Volker Weidler.

Danner comfortably qualified his ARC2 17th on the grid at the season opening Brazilian Grand Prix and went on to be classified 14th in the race itself despite retiring with gear box issues. This proved to be the car's best qualifying performance all year; from hereon both drivers would struggle to qualify (pre-qualify in Weidler's case). Danner only managed to qualify for three more races, all in the early part of the season.  He finished 12th in Monaco but followed this up at the next race in the United States with a finish in the points. From last on the grid, and benefiting from an attrition afflicted race, Danner finished in fourth place. At the next race he placed eighth but this proved to be the last classification for the ARC2.

Danner failed to make the grid for the next seven races and left the team after the Portuguese Grand Prix. His replacements, first Gregor Foitek for one race and Bertrand Gachot for the last two races of the year, both failed to make the race proper. Weidler, in the other car, did not pre-qualify for nine races and was excluded from a tenth. He was replaced by Pierre-Henri Raphanel who did not fare any better.

Danner's three points scored in the United States saw Rial Racing place 13th in the Constructors' Championship. Following the end of the season, the team withdrew from Formula One.
