Bomb Crater Pond is a pond in the Walthamstow Marshes in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, England. It formed in the crater left by the explosion of a German V-2 rocket on 11 February 1945, during World War II.

History

In February 1945, near the end of World War II, the German 485th Artillery Regiment of the Wehrmacht was renamed 902nd Artillery Regiment and relocated to Holland. The regiment's special purpose (German "" i.e. "") was to launch V-2 rockets. On 11 February 1945, its 3rd Artillery Battery launched one of its many attacks against London. The V2 rocket, however, did not hit its target and ended up in the Walthamstow Marshes instead. Nobody was killed, but one person was injured, and the nearby Latham Timber Yard was covered in thick mud.

The crater was left untouched. Over the following years, it gradually filled up with water. Today, it can be seen in a cattle enclosure by the footpath following the River Lea on the south-west corner of the Walthamstow Marshes.

ABC of Reading is a book by the 20th-century Imagist poet Ezra Pound published in 1934. In it, Pound sets out an approach by which one may come to appreciate and understand literature (focusing primarily on poetry).
Despite its title the text can be considered as a guide to writing poetry.  The work begins with the "Parable of the sunfish", features a collection of English poetry that Pound called Exhibits and  several notable quotations.

Mantras 
 "Literature is language charged with meaning: Great literature is simply charged with meaning to the utmost degree" -  to be achieved by three main ways:
 phanopoeia – throwing the object (fixed or moving) on to the visual imagination.
 melopoeia – inducing emotional correlations by sound and rhythm of the speech.
 logopoeia – inducing 1 & 2 by stimulating associations with other word/word groups.

 "Literature is news that stays news".
 "Music rots when it gets too far from the dance. Poetry atrophies when it gets too far from music."
 "I've never read half a page of Homer without finding melodic invention."
 "Without the foregoing minimum of poetry in other languages you simply will not know where English poetry comes."
  "From Chaucer you can learn whatever came over into the earliest English that one can read without a dictionary."
 "Artists are the antennae of the race."
 "Man can learn more about poetry by really knowing and examining a few of the best poems than by meandering about among a great many."
 "One of the pleasures of middle age is to find out that one was right, and that one was much righter than one knew at say seventeen or twenty-three."
 "The honest critic must be content to find a very little contemporary work worth serious attention; but he must be ready to recognize that little..."
 "There are three types of melopoeia, i.e. verse made to sing; to chant/intone; and to speak.  The older one gets the more one believes in the first.  One reads prose for the subject matter."

Treatise on Metre 
The monograph ends with an essay on creative development and the poet's relationship to music entitled "Treatise on Metre." Featuring three sections, Pound explores the requirements of authentic inspiration and how regulation [including "nomenclature" and rhyming schemes] inhibits the natural process. Using music as a throughline, he argues that rhythm and melody, under the banner of listening, can infuse the process of versification and help instigate more genuine, less didactically-inclined prosody.

The Battle of Tutong () of 1934 occurred when Gen. Ma Zhongying's Chinese Muslim 36th Division was attacked by the Soviet Red Army on the banks of the frozen Tutung River. The battle took place over several days, and Soviet bombers used mustard gas. At one point the Chinese Muslim troops dressed up in sheepskins for camouflage in the snow, and stormed Soviet machine-gun posts with curved swords at a short range and defeated a Soviet pincer attack. Casualties were getting heavy on both sides before Ma Zhongying ordered a retreat.

The Ford EUCD platform (for "European Class D") is Ford's global midsize car automobile platform launched in 2006. 

EUCD was chosen by Ford's European operations instead of the Ford CD3 platform due to the large number of components shared with the smaller C1. Another factor was reportedly the inability of the CD3 to accept Volvo's straight-5 engines.

The first EUCD cars were introduced at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show: Volvo's S80 (Volvo P3 platform) and Ford's S-MAX and Galaxy share about half of their total parts; for example, the steering columns on the Galaxy, S-Max and S80 share 80 percent of their parts.

The Jaguar Land Rover D8 platform is a heavily modified derivative of the EUCD.

Vehicles

After separation from Ford, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) continued to develop the EUCD platform; deriving the heavily modified LR-MS/JLR D8 platforms from it. Variations of the D8 are used for the 2011 Range Rover Evoque, the 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport and the 2017 Jaguar E-Pace.

Ford's new global CD-segment platform
For the 2013MY, the Fusion mid-size (C/D) car migrated to the Ford CD4 platform, a new common global platform. Its European counterpart, the Mondeo, made the transition to CD4 when the fifth generation hit the market for the 2015MY.

The West African National Secretariat (WANS) was a Pan-Africanist movement founded by Kwame Nkrumah, based in Britain.

Nkrumah founded WANS in December 1945, immediately following the Manchester Pan-African Congress, becoming the new organisation's Secretary-General.  Other founder members included I. T. A. Wallace-Johnson (who was elected as Chairman), Bankole Akpata, Kojo Botsio and Bankole Awooner-Renner (the first President).  Many of its initial members were also members of the West African Students' Union (WASU).

WANS aimed to build a united movement throughout West Africa for independence, on a platform of anti-imperialism.  Its view of West Africa was broad, and aimed to include countries as distant as Kenya and Sudan.  A major congress was planned, but never came to fruition.

Within WANS, Nkrumah organised a secret socialist revolutionary group, known as "The Circle".  This group worked closely with the Communist Party of Great Britain.

During 1946, WANS published five issues of a monthly journal, The New African, containing articles in English, French and Belgian, on West African issues, but also incorporating stories from the Moscow New Times.  In September, WANS held a joint conference with WASU, which Nkrumah convinced Léopold Sédar Senghor and Sourou Migan Apithy to attend.

WANS was considerably weakened after Nkrumah returned to Africa in 1947, and appears to have dissolved the following year.

Allocasuarina simulans, commonly known as Nabiac casuarina, is a species of flowering plant in the family Casuarinaceae and is endemic to a restricted part of eastern New South Wales. It is a usually a dioecious shrub with branchlets up to  long, the leaves reduced to scales in whorls of six, the fruiting cones  long containing winged seeds  long.

Description
Allocasuarina simulans is a dioecious, rarely a monoecious shrub that typically grows to a height of  and mainly has smooth bark. Its branchlets are up to  long, the leaves reduced to erect, often overlapping, scale-like teeth  long, arranged in whorls of six around the branchlets. The sections of branchlet between the leaf whorls are  long and  wide. Male flowers are arranged in spikes  long, with about four whorls per centimetre (per 0.39 in.), the anthers about  long. Female cones are borne on a peduncle  long, the mature cones  long and  in diameter, the winged seeds  long.

Nabiac casuarina resembles Allocasuarina distyla, but is usually more slender.

Taxonomy
Allocasuarina simulans was first formally described in 1989 by Lawrie Johnson in Flora of Australia from specimens collected at an old airstrip near Nabiac in 1975. The specific epithet, (simulans) means "imitating" or "resembling".

Distribution and habitat
This she-oak is only known from near Myall Lakes, where it grows in sandy heath, shrubland and open woodland between Booti Booti National Park and Nabiac in eastern New South Wales.

Conservation status
Nabiac casuarina is listed as "vulnerable" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and the New South Wales Government Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. The main threats to the species include disturbance from sand mining, inappropriate fire regimes and weed invasion, especially by exotic species such as Lantana camara.

A constitutional referendum was held in Spain on Wednesday, 6 December 1978, to gauge support for either the ratification or repealing of the Spanish Constitution which had been approved by the Cortes Generales on 31 October 1978. The question asked was "Do you approve of the Constitution Bill?" (). The referendum resulted in 91.8% of valid votes in support of the bill on a turnout of 67.1%.

Purpose
The new constitution was intended to replace the many constitutional laws of the Franco era, the Fundamental Laws of the Realm, and turn Spain into a constitutional monarchy by removing many of the King's powers. The feat of creating a democratic system without breaking the structures of power of the state was made possible by the approval of the Political Reform Act of 1977, passed by the Francoist Cortes as the last Fundamental Law. It had been drafted by the President of the Cortes Españolas, Torcuato Fernández-Miranda (including changes that would replace the Cortes Españolas with a Cortes Generales), and supported by Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez and King Juan Carlos. The law provided for the legalization of political parties and a democratic election to Constituent Cortes, a committee of which then drafted the Constitution.

Results by region

Issues
Some Spanish media found up to 30% of irregularities in the census in certain provinces, with many people allegedly being unable to vote while others voted twice. Adolfo Suárez's government had lowered voting age from 21 to 18 only three weeks before the referendum, which resulted in a made-up electoral register increasing by over 3 million people compared to the 1977 general election amid technical, administrative and logistical issues. Interior Ministry officials acknowledged deviations of up to 5.1 per 100 in the electoral census—roughly 1.5 million people according to the National Institute of Statistics—resulting from the absence of an official electoral register and in an overreliance on data from municipal registers.

Dio of Alexandria (; ) was an Academic Skeptic philosopher and a friend of Antiochus of Ascalon who lived in the first century BC. Along with being an Academic Skeptic, Dio was an avid believer in the Greek gods and Titans, specifically worshipping the personification of time, Chronos. He was sent by his fellow citizens as ambassador to Rome, to complain about the conduct of their king, Ptolemy XII Auletes.  In Rome he was poisoned by the king's secret agents, and the strongest suspicion of the murder fell upon Marcus Caelius.  The defence of Caelius in April 56 BC, the Pro Caelio, is considered one of Cicero's and indeed Rome's greatest orations.

His brother was the wrestler Topsius ().

The Swedish Art Music Society () is a non-profit organisation with the aim of publishing Swedish art music. It was founded by Swedish composers in 1859 to facilitate the publishing of Swedish art music, then largely controlled by German publishers.

Each year, one or a couple of pieces of music are selected for publication. Composers include Stenhammar, Röntgen-Maier, Alfvén, Olsson, de Frumerie, Wirén, Carlstedt and Welin. Often, contemporary music is chosen, but sometimes the organisation elects to publish older masterpieces which have remained unpublished, such as the recent publication of the symphonies by the Swedish 18th-century composer Eggert.
