Lauderdale House

Lauderdale House is an historic house, now run as an arts and education centre, based in Waterlow Park, Highgate in north London, England.

History
Lauderdale House was one of the finest country houses in Highgate and was originally built for Richard Martin (Lord Mayor of London) in 1582 with a timber frame. In the early 17th Century it was occupied by Sir Henry Hobart, who in 1616 had built Blickling Hall, Norfolk, now a National Trust property. Later Mary, Countess of Home extended the house. In 1645 it came to Earl of Lauderdale (hence its name) as his wife Anne Home's inheritance. In 1666 it was visited by Charles II and Samuel Pepys, while Nell Gwyn is said to have lived there briefly in 1670. It was later the home of the Lord Mayor of London, Sir William Pritchard.

It was converted to a neoclassical style in 1760, and John Wesley preached here in 1782. For some time it was the home of James Yates, antiquary and Unitarian, who retired there to spend years of "learned leisure" amidst "a noble library and a fine collection of works of art". He died there in 1871.
The house became a convalescent home for St. Bartholomew's hospital in 1872.

In 1882 the then owner, Sir Sydney Waterlow, the famous printer, donated it 'for the enjoyment of Londoners'. It is a Grade II* listed building.

Güllü Agop

Hagop Vartovyan (), better known as Güllü Agop (), (took later the name Yakub because converted to Islam), (1840 in Istanbul – 1902 in Istanbul) was an Ottoman Armenian theatre director as well as an occasional actor. He is widely credited with having laid the bases for Turkey's modern and nationally renowned performing arts institution that became the Istanbul City Theatres (). In his qualities of organizer, sponsor and figure of support for writers and spectators, Güllü Agop is one of the 19th century pioneers of the Turkish Theatre art as a whole. He was accepted as the founder of the modern Turkish Theatre. As an Ottoman Armenian, Güllü Agop was regularly showing Armenian shows in his theatre; after 1868, he decided to provide regular Turkish shows

Biography 
Vartovyan was born in 1840 in Istanbul with the name Agop Vartovyan to Armenian parents. "Güllü Agop" (literally Jacob the Rosy) was the name under which he had come to be known in the world of theatre. He converted to Islam in his forties and took the name "Yakub". He is the father of Necip Yakup Aşkın, considered as one of the most prominent violin masters Turkey produced and his grandson, Yücel Aşkın, was the rector of Van's Yüzüncü Yıl University. He works an academician in the university and is chairman of Environmental Engineering.

Güllü Agop had another son called İhsan Aşkın. After retiring from the army where he served as colonel, he became an actor and took part in around 50 movies.

Direct borohydride fuel cell

Direct borohydride fuel cells (DBFCs) are a subcategory of alkaline fuel cells which are directly fed by sodium borohydride or potassium borohydride as a fuel and either air/oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. DBFCs are relatively new types of fuel cells which are currently in the developmental stage and are attractive due to their high operating potential in relation to other type of fuel cells. Recently, DBFCs that rival proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) in peak power but operating at double the voltage have been reported.

Chemistry
Sodium borohydride could potentially be used in more conventional hydrogen fuel cell systems as a means of storing hydrogen. The hydrogen can be regenerated for a fuel cell by catalytic decomposition of the borohydride:

NaBH4 + 2H2O → NaBO2 + 4H2

Direct borohydride fuel cells decompose and oxidize the borohydride directly, side-stepping hydrogen production and even producing slightly higher energy yields:

Cathode: 2O2 + 4H2O + 8e− → 8OH− (E0 = +0.4V)
Anode: NaBH4 + 8OH− → NaBO2 + 6H2O + 8e− (E0 = -1.24 V)
Total E0 = +1.64V

The simplified reaction is:

NaBH4 + 2O2 → NaBO2 + 2H2O + Electricity

The working temperature of a direct sodium borohydride fuel cell is 70 °C (158 °F).

Advantages
DBFCs could be produced more cheaply than a traditional fuel cell because they do not need expensive platinum catalysts. In addition, they have a higher power density. The high operating voltage of a DBFC reduces the number of cells (in a series circuit) needed in a stack to achieve a desired rated voltage and thus reduces the stack costs considerably.

Disadvantages
Unfortunately, DBFCs do produce some hydrogen from a side reaction of NaBH4 with water heated by the fuel cell. This hydrogen can either be piped out to the exhaust or piped to a conventional hydrogen fuel cell. Either fuel cell will produce water, and the water can be recycled to allow for higher concentrations of NaBH4.

More importantly, the process of creating electricity via a DBFC is not easily reversible.  For example, after sodium borohydride (NaBH4) has released its hydrogen and has been oxidized, the product is NaBO2 (sodium metaborate). Sodium metaborate might be hydrogenated back into sodium borohydride fuel by several different techniques, some of which might theoretically require nothing more than water and electricity or heat.  However, these techniques are still in active development.  As of June 30, 2010, many patents claiming to effectively achieve the conversion of sodium metaborate to sodium borohydride have been investigated but none have been confirmed—the current efficiency of "boron hydride recycling" seems to be well below 1% which is unsuitable for recharging a vehicle.

Cost
Mass production projected prices for the fuel are as low as US$5/kg, rivalling the cost of hydrocarbon fuels.

Cuthbert Headlam

Sir Cuthbert Morley Headlam, 1st Baronet,  (27 April 1876 – 27 February 1964) was a British Conservative politician.

Career
Born in Barton upon Irwell, Lancashire, the third of the five sons of Francis John Headlam (1829–1908), stipendiary magistrate of Manchester, and his wife, Matilda (née Pincoffs). The Headlams were a minor gentry family with roots in north Yorkshire.
Headlam was educated at King's School, Canterbury, and then read modern history at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he received his BA in March 1900. 

He was a Clerk in the House of Lords 1897–1924 and became a barrister, Inner Temple in 1906. He served with the Bedfordshire Yeomanry from 1910 to 1926, was mentioned in despatches in the First World War and awarded the Distinguished Service Order and appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, retiring as lieutenant colonel.

Headlam was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Barnard Castle at the 1924 general election. After the loss of his seat in 1929, he stood in the Gateshead by-election in June 1931, coming a close second in what had been a safe seat for Labour. He regained the Barnard Castle seat at the general election in October 1931, but was defeated again at the 1935 general election. He was returned to the House of Commons for a third time at a by-election in June 1940 as MP for Newcastle upon Tyne North, after standing as an "Independent Conservative" and beating the official Conservative Party candidate. He held the seat until he retired from Parliament at the 1951 general election.

Headlam served in government as Parliamentary and Financial Secretary to the Admiralty from 1926 to 1929; as Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Pensions from 1931 to 1932; and as Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport from 1932 to 1934.

Headlam was a Durham County Councilor from 1931 to 1939, and Justice of the Peace for the County of Durham. He was Chairman of the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations in 1941. He was created a baronet in the 1935 Birthday Honours and appointed a Privy Counsellor in 1945. He died in 1964 at his home in Bath, Somerset, aged 87.

Khyber Mail (newspaper)

Khyber Mail was a daily newspaper published from Peshawar, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The news service was discontinued in 1989, and the company provided print services. However it has now restarted in late 2020 and is undergoing test prints at the moment.

Sheikh Sanaullah was the founder editor of Khyber Mail, the first English newspaper of the then NWFP that he started from Peshawar in 1932. He was an eminent journalist who began his career as a sub-editor in daily 'Muslim Outlook", Lahore. He worked as a special correspondent of several Indian and foreign newspapers. He was an experienced newsman and was acknowledged far and wide when he successfully reported for the daily "Pioneer" Lucknow, the proceedings of the Court Martial of the Indian officers and jawans who had refused to fire on the unarmed people at the Qissa Khwani Bazar of Peshawar in 1930.

The newspaper survived till 1989, edited, published and managed by his sons Shiekh Zakaullah, Sheikh Inayat Ullah and Shiekh Saleemullah, mainly by the oldest, Shiekh Zakaullah, who himself was a distinguished journalist, a sportsman, a parliamentarian and a philanthropist. The news service died with the death of Shiekh Zakaullah in 1990.

Prominent among the editors of this unique news service were (now all deceased except Sabir Hussain) Shiekh Zakaullah, Qalandar Momand, Askar Ali Shah, Mr Mashwani, Ziauddin Ahmad and Sabir Hussain.

In 2020, the current owner Rizwan Inayat son of Sheikh Inayat Ullah and grandson of Sheikh Sana Ullah, has restarted the family heritage. The website is being updated daily and a hard copy and online copy is also printed daily now.

Carl Spitz

Carl Spitz (August 26, 1894 – September 15, 1976) was a Hollywood dog trainer, most famous for owning and training the female Cairn Terrier Terry, who portrayed Toto in the 1939 MGM fantasy film The Wizard of Oz. Spitz developed the method of using silent hand signals to direct an animal.

Career
Spitz was born in Germany where he trained military and police dogs in WW1. He trained under Konrad Most, a pioneer of dog training. Spitz emigrated to the United States in 1926 and opened the Hollywood Dog Training School. According to screenwriter Jane Hall, Spitz went through the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, “picking out whatever tricks or mannerisms Toto was supposed to have” and trained Terry accordingly. Spitz also trained Buck, the St. Bernard from the movie Call of the Wild, starring Clark Gable. Spitz would later go on to become the man responsible for setting up America's WWII War-Dog Program. He appeared on You Bet Your Life on 22nd February 1950, where he states that he was from "near Heidelberg".

He died in 1976, in Los Angeles County, California at the age of 82 and was buried in Glendale's Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in the Great Mausoleum in the Iris Columbarium section.

Kerala New Year (Kollam era)

The Kerala New Year used to be on the day of the vernal equinox, i.e., the day when the sun is considered to move from the southern to the northern hemisphere. However, the first Malayalam month is Chingam  according to the Malayalam Calendar.

Until the modern Malayalam Kollam Era was adopted in 825 CE, the first day of the Malayalam month of Medam () was considered to be the new year. This day is still celebrated in Kerala as Vishu, and it coincides with similar New Year festivities in most of India.

International Molders and Foundry Workers Union of North America

International Molders and Foundry Workers Union of North America was an affiliated trade union of the AFL–CIO. The union traced its roots back to the formation of the Iron Molders' Union of North America, established in 1859 to represent craftsmen who cast wrought iron metal products. It is now part of the GMP International Union.

Organizational history

Formation
In the years prior to the American Civil War existing organization of workers in the iron industry was established on the basis of independent local groups. In 1859, there came a move to forming a national organization in the United States, and the Iron Molders' Union was established at a convention held in Philadelphia on July 5.

The first national convention was attended by 35 delegates, representing local iron molders organizations located throughout the Northeast and as far west as St. Louis. William C. Rea of Missouri was elected the first president of the organization and a committee of five headed by William H. Sylvis of Pennsylvania was appointed to prepare a declaration to the iron workers of America.

The Molders' Union initially took the form of a loose federation of already existing local organizations, each retaining almost complete autonomy.

Initial dues were set by the organization at $10 per local with an additional $10 per delegate sent to the national convention. This proved insufficient and in 1860 per capita dues were initiated at the rate of 5 cents per member per year. This still proved insufficient for the maintenance of a central office and dues were hiked in 1867 to 50 cents per quarter per member and again in 1872 to 25 cents per month.

The organization grew rapidly during the years of the Civil War, with non-union journeymen joining in great numbers. By 1866, the Iron Molders' Union touted 137 locals with a total membership of just under 10,000.

Mergers
A series of mergers led the union to change its name to the International Molders and Allied Workers Union.

In 1988, the Molders and Allied Workers merged with the Glass, Pottery, Plastics and Allied Workers International Union (GPPA) to create the Glass, Molders, Pottery, Plastics and Allied Workers International Union (GMP).

Super Fantasy Zone

is a scrolling shooter, part of the Fantasy Zone series. It was released for the Sega Mega Drive in Europe and Japan. A Virtual Console version was released in July 2008, making its debut in North America. It is included in the Sega Genesis Mini, and was re-released on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

The game is a free moving shoot 'em up, like its side-scrolling predecessors, and essentially has the same core gameplay as the arcade original.

The soundtrack to the game was composed by Naoki Kodaka, and  features themes from the original Fantasy Zone game composed by Hiroshi Kawaguchi.

Plot
The game follows Opa-Opa as he fights to avenge the death of his father, O-papa, who was killed defending the Fantasy Zone against the invading Dark Menon. Opa-Opa must rid the Fantasy Zone of the minions of the Dark Menon and restore peace.

Gameplay
Opa-Opa must clear the levels by moving through them and shooting down all of the Enemy Generators. Once every Enemy Generator in the level has been destroyed a Menon Guardian will appear. These are essentially the bosses of each level. In order to obtain better weapons/equipment, etc., the player needs to collect gold. Gold coins can be collected when an enemy is destroyed. Vast amounts of Gold will also be given when Menon Guardians are defeated.

Dundee Society

The Dundee Society was a society of graduates of CA-400, a National Security Agency course in cryptology devised by Lambros D. Callimahos, which included the Zendian Problem (a practical exercise in traffic analysis and cryptanalysis).  The class was held once a year, and new members were inducted into the Society upon completion of the class.  The Society was founded in the mid-1950s and continued on after Callimahos' retirement from NSA in 1976.  The last CA-400 class was held at NSA in 1979, formally closing the society's membership rolls.

The society took its name from an empty jar of Dundee Marmalade that Callimahos kept on his desk for use as a pencil caddy.  Callimahos came up with the society's name while trying to schedule a luncheon for former CA-400 students at the Ft. Meade Officers' Club; being unable to use either the course name or the underlying government agency's name for security reasons, he spotted the ceramic Dundee jar and decided to use "The Dundee Society" as the cover name for the luncheon reservation.  CA-400 students were presented with ceramic Dundee Marmalade jars at the close of the course as part of the induction ceremony into the Dundee Society. When Dundee switched from ceramic to glass jars, Callimahos would still present graduates with ceramic Dundee jars, but the jars were then collected back up for use in next year's induction ceremony, and members were "encouraged" to seek out Dundee jars for their own collections if they wished to have a permanent token of induction.

Bert Abbey

Bert Wood Abbey (November 11, 1869 – June 11, 1962) was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher.

Amateur career
After graduating from Vermont Academy in 1887, Abbey first began playing baseball as a freshman in college, when he recruited fellow students to form the Vermont Catamounts (UVM) team. At UVM, he made the baseball and training program progress quickly with his presence as player, coach, and captain. He graduated in 1891 from UVM, and the year after, Abbey's team at the university won almost every game they played, including games against professional teams.

Professional career
After his graduation, Abbey was drafted by the Washington Senators, with whom he pitched 14 games before being sold to the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was sent down to their farm team in Macon, Georgia. In , the Chicago Colts bought his services, and he remained with them until 1895, when he moved to the Brooklyn Grooms.

Abbey stayed with Brooklyn (renamed the Bridegrooms) for one more season. He played his last game in the majors on September 23, 1896, and pitched three more seasons in the minor leagues before retiring.

Death and legacy
Abbey died at the age of 92 in Essex Junction, Vermont less than a year after suffering a heart attack. He is buried at the Mountain View Cemetery in Essex Junction.

He was posthumously inducted into UVM's Athletic Hall of Fame in 1969.

Quotation
 "Baseball's okay in college, but no place for a man with brain!"

Zack Ward

Zacharias Ward (born August 31, 1970) is a Canadian actor. He is known for his role as Scut Farkus in the 1983 film A Christmas Story and its 2022 sequel A Christmas Story Christmas.

Early life
Ward was born on August 31, 1970, in Toronto, Ontario, the son of actress Pam Hyatt.

Career
He is best known for his character Dave Scovil (Titus's stoner half-brother) on the FOX show Titus and as the bully Scut Farkus in the 1983 Christmas classic A Christmas Story. He has had guest roles on popular television series such as NCIS, Lost, and Crossing Jordan, and roles in films such as Almost Famous, Transformers and Anne of Green Gables. He has appeared in the horror films Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Freddy vs. Jason. Ward also has had leading roles in BloodRayne 2: Deliverance and Postal, and can be seen in Alone in the Dark II and The Devil's Tomb.

In 2014, Ward co-founded the film production company Grit Film Works with James Cullen Bressack. The first two films which he co-produced with Grit Film Works were the thriller Bethany and the horror film Restoration.

Ward is the CEO of Global Sports Financial Exchange, Inc since 2017.

In 2022, Ward reprised his role as Scut Farkus in the A Christmas Story sequel, A Christmas Story Christmas for Warner Bros. Pictures and HBO Max (now Max).

Personal life
On August 18, 2018, Ward married actress and producer Jennifer McMahan.

Litigation
In August 2011, Ward sued Warner Bros. and Enesco over merchandising for A Christmas Story after the company authorized a figure resembling his Scut Farkus character from the film without his permission. It was revealed that when he signed on to play that character, he didn't receive any merchandising rights because of a mishap with his contract. The lawsuit was dropped in January 2012 after Warner Bros. revealed that the figurine showed a "generic face" that has been used on them since 2006 and that statute of limitations had run out.

In December 2012, Ward sued Warner Bros. again over his image after attending the annual Christmas Story charity fundraiser convention in Cleveland in November 2010 after a fan handed him a Christmas Story board game, playing cards, and calendar showing his face. The lawsuit was settled three days later.

IC 4970

IC 4970 is an unbarred lenticular galaxy of type  in the constellation Pavo. It is  from Earth and is interacting with the barred spiral galaxy . It was discovered on 21 September 1900 by American astronomer DeLisle Stewart.

Interaction with NGC 6872 

IC 4970 is located a few arcseconds away from the much larger barred spiral galaxy NGC 6872, and the two are known to be interacting with each other. Horrelou and Koribalski (2007) reported on a computer simulation used to determine how the two galaxies were interacting. The study concluded that  approached  nearly along the plane of its spiral disk, making a closest approach approximately 130 million years ago resulting in the latter's current highly elongated shape.

An ultraviolet-to-infrared study by Eufrasio, et al. (2013), using data from GALEX, Spitzer, and other resources found that the interaction between the two galaxies appears to have triggered significant star formation in the northeastern arm of  beginning about  from its nucleus. The same appears to have also occurred in the southwestern arm. A bright ultraviolet source was discovered at the end of the northeastern arm, around  from the nucleus, which may be a tidal dwarf galaxy formed out of the interaction between  and . The bright ultraviolet nature of this cluster indicates that it contains stars less than 200 million years old, which roughly coincides with the timeframe of the collision.

Bishop Walsh School

Bishop Walsh School is a K-12 Catholic school located in Cumberland, Maryland, and under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Approximately 350 students attend.  The school also hosts a pre-K program and operates the St. Michael's pre-K program in Frostburg.

History
The school was founded by the Christian Brothers, a monastic order, and is named in honor of the Bishop James Walsh, a Cumberland-born missionary and member of the Maryknoll order, who preached in China and was imprisoned in solitary confinement by its Communist government for twelve years. When Walsh was finally released from prison in 1970 he was greeted by Pope Paul VI on August 25, 1970.  He died at the age of ninety on July 29, 1981.

Opening in 1969, the school was originally Bishop Walsh High School (BW) and replaced four other Catholic high schools: La Salle, Ursuline Academy, Girls Central, and St. Peter's. In the mid-1980s, St. Mary's Elementary school closed and St. Patrick's and St. Peter & Paul reorganized as a grade school and middle school. Later, the grade school became St. John Neuman and BW became a middle/high school.

In the 2001-2002 school year, it combined with St. John Neumann Elementary School and St. Peter's Elementary School in Westernport, to form a K-12 school. (St. John Neumann school, located on the corner of Fayette and Smallwood streets, has since been torn down.) The school is run in part by the Catholic organization the School Sisters of Notre Dame. The Christian Brothers served the Cumberland, MD area for over 100 years until 2011 when the last of the remaining Brothers were reassigned from Bishop Walsh. The school's sports teams are called the Spartans after the warriors of ancient Sparta.

Notable alumni
 Samuel Perlozzo - professional baseball player and MLB manager (Baltimore Orioles) (class of 1969)
 Kevin Kelly - (D) 1B, Maryland House of Delegates, (class of 1971)

Kelly's Westport Inn

Kelly's Westport Inn is a historical bar in Westport, Kansas City, Missouri, constructed around 1850. Kelly's and the adjoining Chouteau Store are considered to be the oldest buildings still standing in Kansas City.

History
The grandson of Daniel Boone, Albert Gallatin Boone, operated a grocery store. A story about the Underground Railroad alleges that a southbound tunnel connects to a stable which is now also a bar called the Westport Saloon.

Around 1900, the Wiedenmann family operated a grocery there, which catered to Kansas City's elite.  With the repeal of Prohibition, Phil Taggart rented the building and opened a saloon named the Wrestlers Inn.  A few years later, Randal Kelly, born in County Clare, Ireland, became a bartender.  He soon became a partner.

In 1959, the building was designated a national historic landmark.

In 1969, Kelly's Inn was registered as a historic building. The tunnel only connects two basements and there was no Underground Railroad association.

In 1996, Kansas City native Eddie Griffin used Kelly's as the inspiration for the setting of his sitcom Malcolm & Eddie, starring himself and Malcolm-Jamal Warner.

Children of Artemis

The Children of Artemis is a UK-based witchcraft membership organisation that organises Witchfests; regular Wiccan and witchcraft themed festivals and conferences, periodically held in London, Glasgow and Cardiff. They publish the magazine Witchcraft & Wicca.

History
The Children of Artemis (CoA) first started out as a ritual group. The CoA continued as a small group until 1995, when it was transformed into a public membership organisation. Initially it grew slowly until around 1999–2000, and then with the established of CoA's website, magazine and events, CoA quickly became market leaders.

Structure
CoA is staffed almost entirely by volunteers, who are given responsibility for their areas of expertise, which includes Witchfests, the magazine, the website, and all other areas of the organisation. It has no hierarchy, no titles, and as there are no political positions, it holds no elections. It is a religious organisation dedicated to Wicca and Witchcraft.

Community activities
The core Children of Artemis team helped the Pagan Federation organise their conferences in 1997 and 1998. This period lasted two years, during which CoA did not develop as its resources were being fully utilised helping the other organisation. The PF president took personal control of the conference in 1999, this allowed CoA to focus back onto its own development. The first Witchfest event came three years later in November 2002.

The Coven finding service was ceased in 2003, as there were not enough Covens accepting trainees. To attempt to address this lack of opportunity, CoA has run "Wicca Introduced" courses twice a year, and now funds a few Open Rituals.

Children of Artemis was one of the founding members of the Pagan Symposium, a group of Pagan and Heathen Organisations that actively co-operate on a variety of issues and projects. Children of Artemis also hosts the Pagan Symposium's website for the community.

CoA sponsors and helps organise a variety of independent community events, recent examples include

Criticism
According to some members of both the Pagan and non-Pagan communities, CoA's attempts to mass market itself has not made it popular with several other pagan and Wicca or Witchcraft organisations.

Aesthetic considerations

Critics of the CoA have raised concerns about the image that their magazine puts across: the magazine "Witchcraft & Wicca" is glossier than most of the publications produced by pagan groups in the UK, and appears to be aimed at a younger target audience, and features large quantities of crushed velvet and similar "spooky" dress. It is argued that this has a detrimental effect on the public perception of Paganism, detracting from its status as an accepted religion, and promoting it as a lifestyle choice.
