Harry Redfern

Henry "Harry" Redfern (April 1861 – 6 March 1950) was a British architect.

Early life
Born in April 1861, he was educated at Abingdon School from 1871 to 1877.

Career
Redfern designed work in Oxford, Cambridge, Abingdon and Carlisle. At the University of Cambridge he was the architect of the chemical, metallurgical, physical and biological laboratories, and restored portions of Christ's College and Magdalene College. At Oxford he carried out additions and restoration work at Oriel College and St John's College; and was architect of the biochemistry laboratories.

At Abingdon he completed work at St Michael's church, the Malthouse, designed the lodge at Abingdon School (where he was educated) and restored the school's Roysse Room (1911). He was responsible for designing, in an imaginative and varied manner, a number of notable public houses in the Carlisle district, as chief architect of the Home Office State Management Scheme (SMS). The scheme built fourteen New Model Inns to Redfern's designs, with a strong theme of the Arts and Crafts movement. He was particularly interested in restoring and designing churches.

He was commemorated towards the end of his work for the SMS by the naming of the Redfern Inn (1938), one of the distinctive New Model Inn designs, in Etterby, a district of Carlisle.  The Redfern was designed by his assistant architect, Joseph Seddon FRIBA (with Redfern's collaboration). It was a tribute to a man who had dedicated his talents to the quest for an improved public house style.

Redfern practised from Porchester Gardens, London, and later lived at St Dunstan's Gardens, Ealing. His early business partner was J. J. Stevenson FSA (1831–1908). He was author of the article: Some Recollections of William Butterfield and Henry Woodyer (1950).

His obituary is found in the Journal of the RIBA following his death on 6 March 1950.

Waiting for Godalming

Waiting for Godalming (2000) is the 22nd book by Robert Rankin. Its title parodies that of Samuel Beckett's play Waiting For Godot.

Waiting for Godalming tells the story of the ultimate murder case: God himself has been killed in a dark alley. Lazlo Woodbine, famous fifties private eye sets out to solve the case. The prime suspects are Colin, God's other son who has been left out of the Bible and Eartha, His wife - who hired Lazlo in the first place to solve the case.
The second plot line is about Icarus Smith, who is trying to find out why demons are walking the earth.
As might be expected, these lines knot together in a surprising way.

Lake Hamilton and Lake Catherine

Lake Hamilton and Lake Catherine are a pair of man-made lakes located in Hot Springs, Arkansas, serving as a tourist attraction for the area. Both Lakes were developed by Arkansas Power & Light.

History

Lake Hamilton 
Lake Hamilton is a  reservoir near Lake Hamilton, Arkansas and Hot Springs, Arkansas, located on the Ouachita River. It was named after Hamilton Moses, who later became president and chairman of the board for Arkansas Power and Light. The lake was created in 1932, formed as a result of Carpenter Dam (after Flavius Josephus Carpenter) which was constructed to generate hydroelectric power. The dam, which extends in a length of  and a height of  high, was completed a year earlier in 1931. The lake subsequently functioned as a recreational site after attracting tourists, later spurring the development of resorts, restaurants, motels, and water sport facilities in its area. The Garvan Woodland Gardens, a  botanical park is located along its shore. Carpenter Dam was later listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

Lake Catherine 
Lake Catherine is the smaller of the two lakes, sized at . The Lake Catherine State Park is located on the lake's shore. The lake was created in the 1920's with the building of Remmel Dam, a concrete-and-steel Ambursen-type buttressed dam. Remmel Dam was created to provide hydroelectricity, but the lake later developed into a recreational site as a result of lake's location next to Hot Springs.

Pardee Home

The Pardee Home is a house in Oakland, California. It was the home of three generations of the Pardee family. It is now a non-profit museum showing over 100 years of the life of a prominent California family. The house, a well-preserved example of Italianate architecture, is a city landmark, a California Historical Landmark, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The house was constructed in 1868 by California State Senator Enoch H. Pardee. His son, George Pardee, a Governor of California, also inhabited the house, inheriting it after his father's death. After George's death in 1941, it passed on to his two daughters, Madeline and Helen (the same name as her mother), who lived in the house until their deaths in 1980 and 1981 respectively.

The interior of the house is the main attraction of the museum. George's wife Helen collected knick-knacks from all over the world, including scrimshaw from Alaska, tobacco pipes from the Philippines, and a giant elk head. She was fond of giving house tours to show off her collection. All of the furnishings are original and the house looks as it did in 1981.

The original carriage house and stable are still standing and the entire complex is part of Oakland's Preservation Park Historic District. The house was to be demolished for the construction of Interstate 980, but conservationists were able to save the building. It opened as a public museum in 1991.

Throughout its existence, the Journal has been a paper of historical significance given the various events in the Poughkeepsie area. For example, in 1788, the editor of the Journal was the official reporter of the ratification of the United States Constitution by New York in that year (the event itself occurring in Poughkeepsie, which was the state capital at the time).  The paper also served as a launching point of stories during the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration when the President was at his estate in nearby Hyde Park. In the book My Side of the Mountain, the Journal was mentioned under its name at the time, the Poughkeepsie New Yorker.

The Journals main office is a fieldstone Colonial Revival building on Civic Center Plaza, the north end of Market Street in downtown Poughkeepsie. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Hudur

Hudur (, Maay: Hudur) is a town in the south western Bakool region of Somalia. It serves as the province's capital and is the center of the Hudur District.

History
During the Middle Ages, Hudur and its surrounding area was part of the Ajuran Empire that governed much of southern Somalia and eastern Ethiopia, with its domain extending from Hobyo in the north, to Qelafo in the west, to Kismayo in the south.

In the early modern period, Hudur was ruled by the Geledi Sultanate. The kingdom was eventually incorporated into Italian Somaliland protectorate in 1910 after the death of the last Sultan Osman Ahmed. After independence in 1960, the city was made the center of the official Hudur District.

During the Islamist insurgency of the 2000s, the city was seized by Al-Shabaab. In March 2014, Ethiopian AMISOM and Somali troops re-captured the town from the militants. The offensive was part of an intensified military operation by the allied forces against Al-Shabaab.

According to Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed, the government subsequently launched stabilization efforts in the newly liberated areas, which also included Wajid, Rabdhure and Burdhubo. The Ministry of Defence was providing ongoing reassurance and security to the local residents, and supplying logistical and security support to deliver relief assistance. Additionally, the Ministry of Interior was prepared to support and put into place programs to assist local administration and security. A Deputy Minister and several religious scholars were also dispatched to all four towns to coordinate and supervise the federal government's stabilization initiatives.

Demographics
As of 2000, Hudur had a population of around 12,500 inhabitants. The broader Hudur District has a total population of 93,049  residents.

Hadame and Luwaay are both sub-clans of the  Mirifle branch, which is part of the larger Rahanweyn family. The main language spoken in the town is the Cushitic Maay language.

The name of the village is a reference to Cockaigne, a medieval fictional land of plenty.

Until 1989, Kockengen was a separate municipality. From then until 2011 it was part of the municipality of Breukelen.

History 
The village was first mentioned around 1307 as Cokanghen. It started as a 12th-century as a cultivation concession, and the name was probably chosen to attract farmers.  Many of the early settlers were serfs from France. In the 14th century a church was built. The tower dates from 1635. During the 17th century, it was prosperous village, due to good water connections to Amsterdam and Utrecht. In 1840, Kockengen was home to 677 people.

The  is a polder mill,  a pumping station to drain the excess water from the polder, which was constructed in 1653. In 1675, it was redesigned. The wind mill remained in service until 1962 when it was replaced by an electric pumping station, however it still serves as an emergency backup.

Aza-crown ether

In organic chemistry, an aza-crown ether is an aza analogue of a crown ether (cyclic polyether). That is, it has a nitrogen atom (amine linkage,  or ) in place of each oxygen atom (ether linkage, ) around the ring. While the parent crown ethers have the formulae , the parent aza-crown ethers have the formulae , where n = 3, 4, 5, 6.  Well-studied aza crowns include triazacyclononane (n = 3), cyclen (n = 4), and hexaaza-18-crown-6 (n = 6).

Synthesis
The synthesis of aza crown ethers are subject to the challenges associated with the preparation of macrocycles. The 18-membered ring in (CH2CH2NH)6 can be synthesized by combining two triamine components.  By reaction with tosyl chloride, diethylene triamine is converted to a derivative with two secondary sulfonamides.  This compound serves as a building block for macrocyclizations.

Variants
Many kinds of aza crown ethers exist.  
Variable length linkers
Aza crowns often feature trimethylene ((CH2)3) as well as ethylene ((CH2)2) linkages. One example is cyclam (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane).

Tertiary amines
In many aza-crown ethers some or all of the amines are tertiary. One example is the tri(tertiary amine) (CH2CH2NCH3)3, known as trimethyltriazacyclononane. Cryptands, three-dimensional aza crowns, feature tertiary amines.

Mixed ether-amine ligands
Another large class of macrocyclic ligands feature both ether and amines.. One example is the diaza-18-crown-6, [(CH2CH2O)2(CH2CH2NH)]2.

Lariate crowns
The presence of the amine allows the formation of Lariat crown ethers, which feature sidearms that augment complexation of cation.

Piedmont Avenue (Berkeley)

Piedmont Avenue is a street in the city of Berkeley, California. Originally known as Piedmont Way, is the major street through the University of California, Berkeley's fraternity and sorority area. The street was originally named Piedmont Way.

Piedmont Way was conceived in 1865 by Frederick Law Olmsted, America's foremost landscape architect. As the centerpiece of a gracious residential community close beside the College of California, Olmsted envisioned a roadway that would follow the natural contours of the land and be sheltered from sun and wind by "an overarching bowery of foliage." This curvilinear, tree-lined parkway was Olmsted's first residential street design. It has served as the model for similar parkways across the US. 

This original portion, now located between Gayley Road and Dwight Way, is designated as a Berkeley Landmark and California Historical Landmark.

Kurt Warner's Arena Football Unleashed

Kurt Warner's Arena Football Unleashed is a sports video game developed and published by Midway for the Sony PlayStation. It was released in North America on May 18, 2000. It is of note that it would not be until 2006 before another Arena Football League video game would be released. It is based around the fame of American football quarterback Kurt Warner, a former AFL player for the Iowa Barnstormers who later went on to star in the NFL.

Gameplay

Kurt Warner's Arena Football Unleashed differs from other American football video games due to its usage of the arena football system. A few rule changes include that there are half as many players on the field, field goals go back into play if they miss the goalposts, and there's no such thing as punting. The game is compared to NFL Blitz 2000 for its violence controls, modes, and general game structure,  with one reviewer even noted that "The post-play violence has been pumped up to the level that Blitz had before the NFL forced Midway to tone it down." Unlike NFL Blitz, it takes 20 yards to get a first down instead of 30, though this can be changed to 10 or 30 yards in the options menu.

Reception

Kurt Warner's Arena Football Unleashed received mostly poor reviews, portraying it as being a weaker version of NFL Blitz 2000. GameSpot criticized the game and gave it a low score. "It's a scaled-down version of Blitz 2000 with a few changes, but these changes don't really enhance the game in any way." IGN wrote, "... the actual game engine seems more like a poor man's Blitz."

Nina Dumbadze

Nina Yakovlevna Dumbadze (; 23 May 1919 – 14 April 1983) was a discus thrower who represented the Soviet Union. She won the European title in 1946 and 1950, and a bronze medal at the 1952 Olympics.

Dumbadze was born in Odessa to a Georgian father. She later moved to Tbilisi, Georgia, where she started training in athletics in 1937. Two years later at the Soviet championships she threw 49.11 m and broke the Gisela Mauermayer's world record of 48.31 m. Dumbadze kept breaking world records during World War II, and a week after the 1946 European Championships threw 50.50 m in Sarpsborg, Norway. In August 1948, she threw 53.25 m in Moscow. She set two more ratified world records: in May 1951 in Gori (53.37 m), and in October 1952 in Tbilisi (57.04 m). By that time she had a strong competition from teammates Nina Romashkova and Yelizaveta Bagryantseva, and hence placed third at the 1952 Olympics. Earlier she won eight Soviet titles, in 1939, 1943–44 and 1946–50.

After retiring from competitions Dumbadze worked as an athletics coach together with her husband Boris Dyachkov, who trained the Georgian athletics team for almost five decades. Their son Yuri Dyachkov became an Olympic decathlete.

Rotala rotundifolia

Rotala rotundifolia, the dwarf rotala, is a plant species often confused with Rotala indica. It is sold in the aquarium trade, but is of uncertain status.

It is a common weed in rice paddies and wet places in India, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam, and has been introduced to the United States.

Description
The emersed form has rounded leaves, while submerged leaves are narrow and lanceolate. Form and color may vary with light and environmental conditions. Under strong light, the leaves can become almost wine red. It has pale pink flowers.
This plant can be differentiated from the closely related R. indica by the differences in the two species' inflorescences. R. rotundifolia bears groups of terminal inflorescence, while R. indica has solitary flowers on the axis of the leaves.

Cultivation
A common aquarium plant, it is undemanding, but requires light to thrive. R. rotundifolia can withstand relatively cool temperatures. Losing its lower leaves usually means it is not receiving enough light. It can be grown emersed in shallow water, where it will flower. It is propagated by cuttings.
