Lödöse

Lödöse (), also known as Gamla Lödöse is a locality situated in Lilla Edet Municipality, Västra Götaland County, Sweden.  It is situated 40 kilometers northeast of Gothenburg and is considered the precursor to modern-day Gothenburg.

Gamla Lödöse
Lödöse was a politically crucial centre of trade in Sweden during the middle ages.
By the year 1000, Lödöse  was an important trading town, located between modern-day Oslo and Copenhagen and near the mouth of the Göta river. It was the Geats' only port on the west coast: hence, it had great strategic importance. Until 1473, Lödöse was Sweden's only port with an exit to the North Sea.  Trapped as it was between Norway and Denmark, Lödöse was moved further down the river to  Nya Lödöse, where the present day suburb Gamlestan in Gothenburg is today.  In 1621, King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden decided the location of present-day Gothenburg with direct access to the North Sea and Atlantic.

Modern Lödöse
Today, Lödöse is a small town with 1,300 inhabitants in Lilla Edet Municipality, 40 kilometers northeast of Gothenburg up the Göta älv. The medieval history of the town is displayed at the Lödöse Museum which opened in 1996. Lödöse had 1,266 inhabitants in 2010.

Zuruahá language

Zuruahá (also called Suruaha, Suruwaha, Zuruaha, Índios do Coxodoá ) is an Arawan language spoken in Brazil by about 130 people.

Zuruahá is mentioned in Kaufman (1994) from personal communication from Dan Everett. He made first contact with the community (a 3-day hike from Dení territory in Amazonas state) in 1980. The language had not been studied as of 1994, but seems most similar to Deni.

Ontario Highway 524

Secondary Highway 524, commonly referred to as Highway 524, is a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The highway is  in length, connecting Highway 522 at Farley's Corners with Highway 534, which leads to Restoule. It was established in 1956, along with most of the secondary highway system in the province, and has remained unchanged since then.

Route description 
Highway 524 is a brief route connecting Highway 522 with Highway 534. It begins at Farleys Corners, and travels north alongside a farm, quickly curving to the northeast. The highway enters a forest, where it meets Commanda Lake Road; soon thereafter, it crosses the Commanda Creek.

After crossing the creek over a single laned bailey bridge, Highway 524 curves northwest, intersecting Weller Road, and follows the creek downstream. After following it for , the highway diverges to the northeast and exits the forest. Emerging into cleared fields, the highway meets Pilgers Road and turns northwest, briefly, before curving north. The highway ends soon thereafter in the community of Carr.

History 
Highway 524 was assumed in early 1956, when secondary highways were first designated with numbers.
The route was a gravel road when it was designated,
and was paved between 1978 and 1980.
The route has remained unchanged since then.

W19 (nuclear artillery shell)

The W19, also called Katie, was an American nuclear artillery shell, derived from the earlier W9 shell. The W19 was fired from a special  howitzer. It was introduced in 1955 and retired in 1963.

Specifications
The W19 was  in diameter,  long, and weighed . It had a yield of 15-20 kilotons and was like its predecessor the W9, a gun-type nuclear weapon.

Variants

W23
The W19 nuclear system was adapted into a nuclear artillery shell for the US Navy's 16-inch (406 mm) main battery found on the Iowa-class battleships, the W23. Production of the W23 began in 1956 and they were in service until 1962, with a total of 50 units being produced.

The W23 was 16 inches (406 mm) in diameter and  long, with a weight given variously as  in reference sources. As with the W19, yield was 15-20 kilotons.

Friedrich Dotzauer

Justus Johann Friedrich Dotzauer (20 January 1783 – 6 March 1860) was a German cellist and composer.

Life

Early life and career
Dotzauer was born in 1783 in , near Hildburghausen. His father, a pastor, encouraged his interest in music. In early years he played piano, violin and cello, also horn and clarinet, and studied theory and composition with the organist , a pupil of Johann Christian Kittel. In Meiningen he studied the cello with , Konzertmeister of the Meiningen Court Orchestra; from 1801 Dotzauer was a member of the orchestra.

He moved in 1805 to Leipzig, where he played in the Gewandhaus Orchestra. During this period he visited the cellist Bernhard Romberg in Berlin, who influenced his playing. With Heinrich August Matthaei, Bartolomeo Campagnoli and Johann Georg Hermann Voigt, Dotzauer was a founder of the Gewandhaus Quartet.

Dresden
In 1811 Dotzauer was appointed cellist of the Dresden Court Orchestra; from 1821 he was principal cellist. During this time in the orchestra he played under Carl Maria von Weber, and later under Richard Wagner, playing in the premieres of Wagner's operas Rienzi and The Flying Dutchman.

He made concert tours of Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. He was a noted teacher, his students including Friedrich August Kummer and Karl Drechsler. His two sons Justus Bernhard Friedrich and Karl Louis became musicians.

Dotzauer remained in the orchestra until retirement in 1850; he died in Dresden in 1860.

Compositions
Dotzauer composed many studies and exercises for solo cello; other compositions include masses and other church music, an opera, 9 cello concertos, and chamber music including string quartets.

Gardner–Salinas braille codes

The Gardner–Salinas braille codes are a method of encoding mathematical and scientific notation linearly using braille cells for tactile reading by the visually impaired. The most common form of Gardner–Salinas braille is the 8-cell variety, commonly called GS8. There is also a corresponding 6-cell form called GS6.

The codes were developed as a replacement for Nemeth Braille by John A. Gardner, a physicist at Oregon State University, and Norberto Salinas, an Argentinian mathematician.

The Gardner–Salinas braille codes are an example of a compact human-readable markup language. The syntax is based on the LaTeX system for scientific typesetting.

Table of Gardner–Salinas 8-dot (GS8) braille

The set of lower-case letters, the period, comma, semicolon, colon, exclamation mark, apostrophe, and opening and closing double quotes are the same as in Grade-2 English Braille.

Digits 

Apart from 0, this is the same as the Antoine notation used in French and Luxembourgish Braille.

Upper-case letters 

GS8 upper-case letters are indicated by the same cell as standard English braille (and GS8) lower-case letters, with dot #7 added.

Compare Luxembourgish Braille.

Greek letters 
Dot 8 is added to the letter forms of International Greek Braille to derive Greek letters:

Zinc bromide

Zinc bromide (ZnBr2) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula ZnBr2.  It is a colourless salt that shares many properties with zinc chloride (ZnCl2), namely a high solubility in water forming acidic solutions, and good solubility in organic solvents. It is hygroscopic and forms a dihydrate ZnBr2·2H2O.

Production
ZnBr2 · 2H2O is prepared by treating zinc oxide or zinc metal with hydrobromic acid.   
 ZnO + 2HBr  +  H2O  →   ZnBr2·2H2O
 Zn + 2HBr  →   ZnBr2 +  H2

The anhydrous material can be produced by dehydration of the dihydrate with hot CO2 or by reaction of zinc metal and bromine. Sublimation in a stream of hydrogen bromide also gives the anhydrous derivative.

Structure
ZnBr2 crystallizes in the same structure as ZnI2: four tetrahedral Zn centers share three vertices to form “super-tetrahedra” of nominal composition {Zn4Br10}2−, which are linked by their vertices to form a three-dimensional structure. The dihydrate ZnBr2 · 2H2O can be described as ([Zn(H2O)6]2+)2([Zn2Br6]2-).

Gaseous ZnBr2 is linear in accordance with VSEPR theory with a Zn-Br bond length of 221 pm.

Uses
Zinc bromide is used in the following applications:

 In organic chemistry as a Lewis acid.
 It is the electrolyte in the zinc bromide battery.
 In oil and natural gas wells, solutions containing zinc bromide are used to displace drilling mud when transitioning from the drilling phase to the completion phase or in well workover operations.  The extremely dense brine solution gives the fluid its weight of 20 pounds/gallon, which makes it especially useful in holding back flammable oil and gas particles in high pressure wells.  However, the high acidity and osmolarity cause corrosion and handling problems.  Crews must be issued slicker suits and rubber boots because the fluid is so dehydrating.
 Zinc bromide solutions can be used as a transparent shield against radiation. The space between two glass panes is filled with a strong aqueous solution of zinc bromide with a very high density, to be used as a window on a hot cell. This type of window has the advantage over lead glass in that it will not darken as a result of exposure to radiation. All glass will darken slowly over time due to radiation, however this is especially true in a hot cell, where exceptional levels of radiation are present. The advantage of an aqueous salt solution is that any radiation damage will last less than a millisecond, so the shield will undergo self-repair.

Safety
Safety considerations are similar to those for zinc chloride, for which the toxic dose for humans is 3–5 g.

Ivanov reaction

The Ivanov reaction is the chemical reaction of the dianions (endiolates) of aryl acetic acids (Ivanov reagents) with electrophiles, primarily carbonyl compounds or isocyanates. The reaction was named after the Bulgarian organic chemist, Academician Dimitar Ivanov, who discovered it.

Ivanov reagents (dianions of aryl acetic acids) react with many electrophiles, including aldehydes, ketones, isocyanates, and alkyl halides.  The product does not usually spontaneously decarboxylate, but it is possible with some reagents.

The Ivanov reaction is known to proceed through the Zimmerman-Traxler model transition state.  Toulec et al. have investigated the reaction rates and kinetics.

Coltishall railway station

Coltishall railway station serves the village of Coltishall in Norfolk, and is currently operated by the Bure Valley Railway.

Standard gauge operation
The railway line from Wroxham to County School opened in 1880, with a station at Coltishall. This was a branch line, joined at County School to the Great Eastern Railway's service from Dereham to Wells-next-the-Sea. The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939. Passenger services were ended in 1952 by the Eastern Region of British Railways, and Coltishall station closed. The original station buildings are now privately owned and operated as bed and breakfast accommodation.

Bure Valley Railway

The line from Wroxham to Aylsham was reopened in 1990 as a narrow gauge railway. The station at Coltishall was reopened as part of this development. The station is a request stop, although many trains are obliged to stop here as it is also a passing place on the single-track railway. There are two platforms. The station is located near to the village of Coltishall, although some distance from its main tourist destinations, the former RAF Coltishall airbase, and the staithe.

Alei Zahav

Alei Zahav (, lit. Golden Leaves) is an Israeli settlement organized as a community settlement located on the western edge of the northern West Bank, adjacent to the Palestinian towns of Deir Ballut and Kafr ad-Dik, whose lands were confiscated for building Alei Zahav. The settlement, under the administrative municipal government of the Shomron Regional Council, is adjacent to Peduel and Beit Aryeh. In  its population was .

Israeli outposts are unauthorized in Israeli law, while Israeli settlements are considered illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.

History
Founded in 1983 on Israeli state lands by non-Orthodox Jewish Israelis from the Beitar and Herut movements, the settlement is now home to about 120 families. The town is named after Aliza Begin, the wife of former Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin. The original name of the town had been Yoezer.

It is now expanding into a settlement called Leshem.

Alei Zahav is founded on land which Israel confiscated  from the Palestinian towns of Deir Ballut and Kafr ad-Dik.

His mother, father (UCLA All-American quarterback John Sr.), sister, cousin, four aunts and grandfather all went to UCLA. Sciarra appeared in five games as a quarterback in 2002, going 5-of-12 for 75 yards and one touchdown on the year. He played in the fourth quarter at Cal when Cory Paus and Olson were injured and left the game, and he also threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Marcedes Lewis against USC, which was the first of his career.

Wagner
At the end of the 2003 season, Sciarra transferred to Wagner College.  While playing for the Wagner Seahawks, Sciarra broke multiple school records. As a senior in 2005, Sciarra became the first ever Northeast Conference player to throw for over 3,000 yards in a season.  He was also named an Academic All Star by the Division I-AA Athletic Directors Association.  Sciarra, as a sociology major, earned a 3.49 GPA.  He was honored as Wagner's most valuable player.

After his football career John landed a role as an associate with Lazard Asset Management. John has excelled at the firm and in 2011 was promoted to vice president. John has enjoyed working and living in NY and has now taken up basketball to continue his athletic achievements. He plays regularly in a 5:30 am game in New York City where his shooting ability has not quite caught up with his ability to give a hard foul. He is well known for battling fellow Lazard colleagues on the court and playing an intimidating style of defense.

Pipe bursting

Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of replacing buried pipelines (such as sewer, water, or natural gas pipes) without the need for a traditional construction trench. "Launching and receiving pits" replace the trench needed by conventional pipe-laying.

Equipment
There are five key pieces of equipment used in a pipebursting operation: the expander head, pulling rods, a pulling machine, a retaining device, and a hydraulic power pack.

Today's expander heads have a leading end much smaller in diameter than the trailing (bursting) end, small enough to fit through the pipe that will be replaced. The smaller leading end is designed to guide the expander head through the existing pipe; earlier models did not have this feature and lost course at times, resulting in incomplete pipe bursts and project failures.

The transition from the leading end to the trailing end can include "fins" that make first contact with the existing pipe. Using these fins as the primary breaking point is a very effective way to ensure that the pipe is broken along the entire circumference.

A machine is set in the receiving pit to pull the expander head and new pipe into the line. The head is pulled by heavy, interlocking links that form a chain. Each link weighs several hundred pounds.

All of the equipment used in a pipe bursting operation is powered by one or multiple hydraulic power generators.

Other applications
Pipe bursting may also be used to expand pipeline carrying capacity by replacing smaller pipes with larger ones, or "upsizing."  Extensive proving work by the gas and water industries has demonstrated the feasibility of upsizing gas mains, water mains and sewers.  Upsizing from 100mm to 225mm diameter is now well established, and pipes of up to 36 inch diameter and greater have been replaced.

Battle of La Higueruela

The Battle of La Higueruela () was fought in the vega of the river Genil near Granada on 1 July 1431 between the forces of John II of Castile, led by Álvaro de Luna, and troops loyal to Muhammed IX, Nasrid Sultan of Granada. The battle was a modest victory for the forces of Castile, with no territorial gain and failing to take Granada.  Following this battle, John II of Castile installed Yusuf IV, grandson of Muhammed VI, as Sultan of Granada.

The battle is depicted in a famous series of fresco paintings by Fabrizio Castello, Orazio Cambiasi and Lazzaro Tavarone in the Gallery of Battles at the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.

Moreton railway station (Merseyside)

Moreton railway station serves the town of Moreton, in Merseyside, England. The station is on the West Kirby branch of the Wirral Line, which is part of the Merseyrail network.

History
Moreton station opened for regular service on 2 July 1866, on the Hoylake Railway, between Hoylake and Birkenhead Docks. By 1898, the station had a small signal box towards the eastern end of the westbound platform, and a siding to the south of the station. West of the station, sidings for Moreton brickworks were added around 1903. The signal box was replaced in 1932, and moved to the north side of the tracks beyond the eastern end of the platform.

The platform buildings were replaced in 1938, rebuilt in an identical style to one at Hoylake. Through electric services to Liverpool Central commenced on 13 March 1938, when the LMS electrified the lines from Birkenhead Park to West Kirby. The service was provided by the then-new LMS electric multiple units. However, on Sunday mornings, the service was provided by the older Mersey Railway electric units which, up until that point, had only ever run from Liverpool to Birkenhead Park.

Cadbury had a private siding adjacent to the station after 1956, although their freight trains had ended by 1971. The 30-lever signal box closed on 17 September 1994, and was demolished on 13 November 1994.

Facilities
The station has a booking office and a 34-space car park, a cycle rack for 4 cycles and secure storage for 20 cycles. The station is staffed, 15 minutes before the first train and 15 minutes after the last train, has departure and arrival screens for passenger information, and platform CCTV. Each platform has open-air seating, a waiting room and a payphone.

Services
Current services are every 15 minutes (Monday to Saturday daytime) to West Kirby and Liverpool.  At other times, trains operate every 30 minutes. These services are provided by Merseyrail's fleet of Class 507 and Class 508 EMUs.

W52 (nuclear warhead)

The W52 was a thermonuclear warhead developed for the MGM-29 Sergeant short-range ballistic missile used by the United States Army from 1962 to 1977. The W52 was  in diameter and  long, and weighed .  It had a yield of 200 kilotons. A total of 300 W52 warheads were produced.

Researcher Chuck Hansen claims based on his research into the US nuclear program that the thermonuclear W52 and (fission-only) W30 warheads both use a common primary or fission first stage, and that this design was nicknamed the Boa primary.

Reliability controversy
Three models of the W52 were produced, the Mod 1, Mod 2, and Mod 3.  A warhead test was performed in 1963, which failed, showing that the Mod 1 and Mod 2 versions of the W52 were essentially duds. The Mod 3 was subsequently redesigned to work properly.

The design failures of the Mod 1 and 2 W52, along with early problems with the W45 and W47 warheads, are still an active part of the debate about the reliability of the US nuclear weapons force moving into the future, without ongoing nuclear testing.
