The door, which is fitted with sensors to detect when the train doors opens, did not open when the train doors opened. SMRT staffs directed passengers to the nearest working door. A similar case happened at the Downtown Line platform at Botanic Gardens station.

On 7 to 8 October, this station was the temporary terminating point for trains travelling from Marina South Pier. This was due to the Bishan tunnel flooding which caused train services to be suspended between Ang Mo Kio and Newton. Normal train services resumed at around 2pm on 8 October.

As part of Exercise Station Guard 2018, a security exercise, X-ray machines and metal detectors are used in this station. It is also used as part of a trial in November 2018.

## Work

Many Egyptian news organizations used Shawkan's photos.  Shawkan's photos were in many international newspapers and magazines, including Time magazine, The Sun, Bild (a German newspaper) and Die Zeit.  In 2010, Shawkan went to work for Demotix, a photo agency in London. During the Arab Spring, Shawkan took photos of the Tahir Square protests in Cairo.

In 2013, Shawkan took photos of protests against the Egyptian president, Mohamed Morsi in Cairo.  Police arrested him.   Two other photographers were arrested at the same time: Louis Jammes, a French photographer and Mike Giglio, a US reporter. Jammes and Giglio are free but Shawkan is still in prison.

Shawkan was arrested on August 14, 2013 during protests against the government. More than 1000 people were killed and many protesters were arrested.  Two other journalists were arrested at the same time, one from France and one from the United States. The foreign journalists were freed quickly, but Shawkan was charged with weapons possession, illegal assembly, murder and attempted murder. One of the other journalists, Mike Giglio, said Shawkan only had a camera.

Many organizations want freedom for Shawkan. The Committee to Protect Journalists made a statement.
Amnesty International said he should be free.  Orla Guerin from the BBC, Patrick Kingsley from the Guardian, and Peter Greste from Al-Jazeera, who was also in prison in Egypt, wrote to the Egyptian president.

Ben Roy Mottelson

**Ben Roy Mottelson** (July 9, 1926 – May 13, 2022) was an American-born Danish nuclear physicist.  He won the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the non-spherical geometry of atomic nuclei.

## Early life

Mottelson was born in Chicago, Illinois. He graduated from Lyons Township High School in LaGrange, Illinois. He received a Bachelor's degree from Purdue University in 1947, and a Ph.D. in nuclear physics from Harvard University in 1950.

## Career

In 1950–51, James Rainwater (1917 – 1986) and Aage Bohr (1922 – 2009) had developed models of the atomic nucleus. It began learn the behaviour of the individual nucleons.  Mottelson worked with Aage Bohr to share the theoretical models with experimental data.

In three papers which were published in 1952–53, Bohr and Mottelson demonstrated close agreement between theory and experiment, for example showing that the energy levels of certain nuclei could be described by a rotation spectrum.  This work stimulated new theoretical and experimental studies.

### Nobel Prize (1975)

Rainwater, Bohr and Mottelson were jointly awarded the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physics "for the discovery of the connection between collective motion and particle motion in atomic nuclei and the development of the theory of the structure of the atomic nucleus based on this connection".

### Later career

Bohr and Mottelson continued to work together, publishing a two-volume monograph, _Nuclear Structure_. The first volume, _Single-Particle Motion,_ appeared in 1969, and the second volume, _Nuclear Deformations,_ in 1975.

Sherman's March to the Sea

**Sherman's March to the Sea** is the name given to the **Savannah Campaign** in the American Civil War. The march of troops through Georgia lasted from November 15 to December 21, 1864. It was led by Major General William Tecumseh Sherman of the Union Army.

The military campaign began with Sherman's troops leaving the captured city of Atlanta, Georgia, on November 15. It ended with the capture of the port of Savannah, Georgia. on December 21. His army burned military targets, along with stores, other businesses, and the homes of the people who lived in their path. That ruined the Confederates' economy and transportation.
