# Eric Huxtable

**Eric Francis Huxtable** (27 October 1908 – 10 October 1990) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton in the VFL during the 1930s and briefly with South Melbourne in the early 1940s.

## Family

The youngest of the six children of James Huxtable (1867–1910), and Annie Martha Huxtable (1873-1940), née Connolly, Eric Francis Huxtable was born in Hobart, Tasmania on 27 October 1908.

He married Gwynneth Grace Fawcett (1914-1998) in May 1935. They had six children, Neil, Gary, Erin, Margo, Christine, and Julie.

## Education

He attended St Virgil's College, in Hobart.

## Football

Huxtable commenced his football journey at just 15 years old with the Tasmanian club New Town, clinching their 'Best and fairest' award in 1928.

Transitioning to the mainland in 1930, he joined Carlton and swiftly established himself as a key member of their defense for the ensuing decade. Renowned for his exceptional long drop kicks, Huxtable demonstrated prowess on the field, notably holding his own against triple Brownlow Medal winner Haydn Bunton. His consistent performance earned him regular selection for the Big V representative team. Throughout his tenure at Carlton, Huxtable consistently contributed to the team's finals campaigns, including the 1932 VFL Grand Final loss to Richmond. Although his final season with Carlton culminated in a premiership victory, Huxtable's participation was thwarted by a thumb injury.

Following his departure from Carlton, Huxtable dedicated two years to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) before resuming his VFL career in 1941 with South Melbourne.

# Luize Valente

**Luize Valente**, born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, of Portuguese and German origins, is a writer and documentary filmmaker, author of historical novels and awarded documentaries, and a journalist.

## Biography

Passionate about History, Valente has been thoroughly studying Jewish history and war refugees' lives. She graduated in journalism, with a postgraduate degree in Brazilian literature. With this background, Valente drew the path to her main calling, historical fiction.

After some important works in the documentary and journalistic fields, she put her extensive research to the service of the novelist.

In 2012, Valente thus plunged into the fictional writing, publishing her first novel, *The Secret of the Shrine* (*O Segredo do Oratório*), by Editora Record, which ended up as a finalist of the São Paulo Literature Prize in 2013. The novel was translated and published in the Netherlands by Nieuw Amsterdam with the title *De sleutel tot het familiegeheim* (2013). It is a historical fiction that reveals Brazilian's Jewish roots through the saga of a "New Christian" family that crosses three centuries.

In 2015, she released her second novel, *A Square in Antwerp* (*Uma Praça em Antuérpia*), also published by Record. It also reached the other side of the Atlantic: the Portuguese version was published by Saída de Emergência.

In 2016, Valente wrote the play *The Indecipherable World* (*O Mundo Indecifrável*).

In 2017, she published her third novel, *Sonata in Auschwitz* (*Sonata em Auschwitz*), also published by Record in Brazil and by Saída de Emergência in Portugal.

The film and TV rights of her first two novels, *The Secret of the Shrine* and *A Square in Antwerp*, were acquired in 2017 by the Brazilian producers Breno Silveira (Conspiração / director of Fox series One Against All) and Paula Fiuza (Canal Laranja).

In the nonfiction field, she partnered with photographer Elaine Eiger to write the book *Israel: Routes and Roots* (*Israel: Rotas e Raízes*) in 1999. This partnership also produced the documentaries *Paths of Memory: The Trajectory of the Jews in Portugal* (*Caminhos da Memória: A Trajetória dos Judeus em Portugal*) in 2002 and *The Star Hidden in the Backlands* (*A Estrela Oculta do Sertão*) in 2005, both exhibited in various festivals in Brazil and abroad – Lincoln Center, Festivals of San Diego, Jerusalem, among others – and on TV, constituting important archives of Judaism history in the world. The first documentary won the Best Documentary Direction Award at the New York Independent Film Festival in 2003 and the second one won the Best Documentary Award at the Jewish Film Festival of São Paulo in 2005.

As a journalist, Valente has worked for more than two decades on television covering international affairs, on Globo broadcast network. Her journalistic background and experience is the root of the trademark of her work, the richness of research *in loco*: Luize writes her novels always after a field research trip and a reconstitution of the characters' journeys.

title: Epupa Falls

abstract: Epupa Falls is a series of large waterfalls formed by the Cunene River on the border of Angola and Namibia, in the Kaokoland area of the Kunene Region. The river is about 0.5 kilometres (1,600 ft) wide in this area and drops in a series of waterfalls across a length of 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi), with the greatest single drop being 37 metres (121 ft). The settlement near the falls is also called Epupa.

# Epupa Falls

**Epupa Falls** (also known as **Monte Negro Falls** in Angola) is a series of large waterfalls formed by the Cunene River on the border of Angola and Namibia, in the Kaokoland area of the Kunene Region. The river is about 0.5 kilometres (1,600 ft) wide in this area and drops in a series of waterfalls across a length of 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi), with the greatest single drop being 37 metres (121 ft). The settlement near the falls is also called Epupa.

## Toponymy

The name "Epupa" is a Herero word for "foam", in reference to the foam created by the falling water. The Epupa Constituency is named for the falls.

## Ecology

Due to the specialised nature of this steep riparian habitat, the Epupa Falls are the locus of endemism for a number of fish and other aquatic species.

## Access

Despite being difficult to reach (a four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended to reach them from Opuwo), the falls are a major visitor attraction in Namibia because of the largely unspoiled environment, with fig trees, baobabs, makalani palms, and colourful rock walls framing the falls.

The Ruacana Falls in northern Namibia are located 135 kilometres (84 mi) upstream, also on the Cunene River. There are four lodges accommodating visitors to the area, namely Kapika Waterfall Lodge, Omarunga Camp Lodge, Epupa Camp Lodge, and Epupa Falls Campsite Lodge. All these lodges have campsites except Kapika Waterfall Lodge. An alternative accommodation option is Motjikutu Epupa campsite, which is a community owned campsite.

Activities in the area range from guided tours to the falls and Himba villages around Epupa Falls, birdwatching, excursions to see crocodiles, and a variety of vegetation featuring trees like baobab and Mopane trees, the dominant species in the area. Tourists are also offered whitewater rafting at Epupa Camp.

### People

Epupa Falls is known for the semi-nomadic Ovahimba people who live there, as well as other tribes like the Ovatjimba, Ovazemba, and Ovatwa people. Migration to Epupa Falls is constantly increasing due to high tourism growth, which encourages tribes of Herero- and Ovambo-speaking peoples to move to the area.

## In the media

Epupa Falls are shown in the 2011 non-narrative documentary film *Samsara*.

Epupa Falls are featured in the 8th episode of the first season of *The Grand Tour*, being the termination point of a journey in beach buggies through Namibia.

# Techila Grid

**Techila Distributed Computing Engine** (earlier known as **Techila Grid**) is a commercial grid computing software product. It speeds up simulation, analysis and other computational applications by enabling scalability across the IT resources in user's on-premises data center and in the user's own cloud account. Techila Distributed Computing Engine is developed and licensed by Techila Technologies Ltd, a privately held company headquartered in Tampere, Finland. The product is also available as an on-demand solution in Google Cloud Launcher, the online marketplace created and operated by Google. According to IDC, the solution enables organizations to create HPC infrastructure without the major capital investments and operating expenses required by new HPC hardware.

## Product features

Techila Distributed Computing Engine is a distributed computing middleware and management solution, which can be used to access and manage on-premises and cloud IT resources for various high-performance computing (HPC) computing uses, including high-throughput computing (HTC) scenarios. It creates a scalable computing service and execution environment that can also support applications that are deployed within production environments.

The technology of Techila Distributed Computing Engine is built on an autonomic computing architecture that is patented by Techila Technologies. This has enabled features such as automated system management and fault tolerance, which simplify the deployment, use and administration of large-scale distributed computing systems.

## Architecture

### Techila Server

**Techila Server** is a Java-based software product, which optimizes the performance of a Techila Distributed Computing Engine environment and the jobs in it. The optimization done by Techila Server supports not only large jobs, but also makes the system suitable for running small computational jobs. The performance of Techila Distributed Computing Engine in different scenarios was evaluated in a thesis at Tampere University of Technology.

Originally, the Techila Server was delivered as an embedded appliance. The embedded appliance product was discontinued in 2012. Currently, Techila Server is delivered either as a virtual appliance or using cloud-specific deployment tools.

### Techila Worker

**Techila Worker** is the software agent that must be installed on each computer that will participate in a Techila Distributed Computing Engine environment. The computers can be physical, or they can be virtualized computers running on a hypervisor or in a cloud virtual machine. Techila Distributed Computing Engine supports following public cloud services: Microsoft Azure, Amazon ec2 and Google Compute Engine. Once the Techila Worker software is installed on a computer, it will authenticate the computer to the Techila Server using a certificate, and the system will use self-management to automatically configure the computer to run jobs received from the Techila Server.

Techila Worker is a Java-based client middleware component that can be run on Microsoft Windows or Linux. Because of this, the client computers participating in the Techila Distributed Computing Engine system can have different hardware and software platforms. Techila Worker software runs on the lowest possible priority on the computer. The Techila Worker is also interoperable with batch-queuing systems, like the SLURM, TORQUE, or Oracle Grid Engine (previously known as Sun Grid Engine, SGE). This interoperability allows existing HPC users to use their existing infrastructures as a part of a Techila Distributed Computing Engine system without the Techila Worker interfering with the other system.

### Techila SDK

**Techila SDK** (earlier known as Techila Grid Management Kit or Techila GMK) is a library of software components that connect applications to the Techila Distributed Computing Engine environment. The SDK includes plug-ins for many commonly used research and development tools and languages, such as MATLAB, , Python, Perl, Java, C#/ .NET / C++, FORTRAN, and Command-line interface script. The applications that have been developed using application programming interfaces in the Techila SDK can also be deployed within production environments and run as service in a SOA environment. Techila SDK supports both Windows and Linux operating systems.

### Administrator User Interface

A web-based **Administrator User Interface** provides administrators with a simplified and easy-to-use interface to the Techila Server. The Administrator User Interface allows monitoring system activity, view and control job execution, execution policy, monitor and control Techila Workers and Techila Worker Groups, control security settings, and manage users.

## History

Techila Distributed Computing Engine technology started initially from the vision of grid computing and enablement of fast simulation and analysis without the complexity of traditional high-performance computing.

The security of Techila Distributed Computing Engine was evaluated by Nixu Ltd in 2008. After this, Techila Distributed Computing Engine has been accepted by security-sensitive industry sectors, such as Finance and Insurance, Engineering and Pharmaceutical.

Techila Distributed Computing Engine was demonstrated by a research team at the University of Helsinki in 2011 as being capable of providing autonomic management to computing environments of large numbers of Windows Azure cloud instances. The University of Helsinki has also demonstrated Techila Distributed Computing Engine's ability to enhance the usability and utilization of large-scale cluster resources in projects implemented using MATLAB, , Python, Java, and / C++/ C#.

In a Techila Distributed Computing Engine system, computational resources can be arranged into device groups for organizational, security, compliance, and administrative control. Despite its performance in large-scale systems such as CSC - IT Center For Science, it is also suitable for smaller environments such as the TUTGrid\] which utilizes the idle capacity of desktop PCs and other computers at Tampere University of Technology (TUT) for scientific computing.

In JazzTimes Marc Masters wrote "*The Sugar Hill Suite* alternates between slow meditations and swinging vamps. The opening "For Agusta Savage" is mournful, as McPhee traces an Ornette Coleman-ish tenor sax pattern. Later, "Triple Play" and "Monk's Waltz" are catchy yet reflective, at times even serene. This affinity for combining the somber with the upbeat peaks on the stunning 16-minute title track". On All About Jazz Kurt Gottschalk said "There's plenty of payoff in *The Sugar Hill Suite*, an oddly plaintive dedication to the spirit of Harlem. Far from the jazz-renaissance throwback that might be expected, it is luxuriously languid".

# Movimento Vem pra Rua

The **Movement Come to the Streets** is a Brazilian sociopolitical movement founded in October 2014. The movement emerged in October 2014 as an attempt to organize and unite people in the face of the 2014 Brazilian economic crisis during the Dilma Rousseff government. The movement focused on the government of the former president, the fight against corruption, the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff and the approval of the 10 Measures against Corruption, a bill of the Federal Public Ministry.

## Participation in Dilma Rousseff's impeachment process

As of April 2015, the Movimento Vem Pra Rua started to support the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff.

In 2015 and 2016, Vem Pra Rua and other civil society movements organized demonstrations throughout Brazil against corruption, the Workers' Party (Brazil) and Dilma Rousseff's government.

The March 15, 2015 protest was considered the largest popular mobilization in the country since the beginning of the New Republic. On March 13, 2016, the protests surpassed the previous number, with 6.7 million people on the streets of every state in the country and in the Federal District, according to the organizers. The Military Police claimed that 3.3 million people were present. It was considered the biggest protest in the country's history.

The March 13 protests continued spontaneously between March 16 and March 22. On March 17 in the states of Acre, Alagoas, Manaus, Amapá, Bahia, Ceará, Federal District, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Maranhão, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Pará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Norte, Rio Grande do Sul, Rondônia, Roraima, Santa Catarina, Sergipe, São Paulo and Tocantins had protesters against the government, after President Dilma named Lula as minister of the Casa Civil.

There were also records of Cacerolazos during Lula's inauguration at the Palácio do Planalto, which was later suspended by the courts.

In 2016, the movement created a tool on its website, called "Map of the Impeachment", to facilitate contact between citizens in favor of the impeachment of Rouseff and the federal deputies, and a panel that displayed the position of each deputy on the process.

## Positions

The Movement declared itself in favor of the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff and against corruption, military intervention and the coup d'état, separatism and authoritarian governments.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, the movement took a stance to pressure parliamentarians to use electoral fund money to fight disease in the country.

## Movement creation

Within the action of this movement, the "impeachment map" was created, which was a tool that made available the position of parliamentarians on the impeachment vote. In addition, it created the *Wall of Shame*, a panel inaugurated by the movement in São Paulo to show the position of federal deputies in relation to the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff.

In 2019, the movement created a similar tool, the "second instance map" which demonstrates the position of parliamentarians in relation to the PEC that allows those sentenced in second instance to start serving their sentences immediately.

## Controversies

### Financing

The movement has been repeatedly criticized for its lack of clarity about the source of its funding, who its donors are, and the amounts of donations. However, the movement itself claims to come from voluntary donations, and have no links with political parties.

The foundation is controlled by businessman Jorge Paulo Lemann, a partner at the brewery Ambev and the fast food chain Burger King. A BBC Brasil team had access to the registration site vemprarua.org.br, official URL used by the movement in the elections, and revealed that the domain was purchased by the Foundation Studying. At the end of 2014, the website was deleted and Vem Pra Rua changed its online address. In a statement, Fundação Estudar called itself "non-partisan" and attributed the case to an "isolated initiative" of a former employee.

### Confidential member ID

In December 2014, in an interview with Estadão, one of the founders, Rogério Checker, comments on the fact that the identity of the co-founder who goes by Collin Butterfield is kept confidential, under the allegation that the person does not want expose itself, because it deals with companies.

### Nonpartisanship

The movement declares to defend the non-partisan cause of fighting corruption and the imprisonment of corrupt persons, regardless of the party, and supports the Lava Jato in its actions. Prior to the Impeachment, the group's actions targeted the Workers' Party and the Dilma Rousseff government. After the removal of Dilma Rousseff and the inauguration of Michel Temer, Vem Pra Rua was criticized for its discreet reaction to the various allegations of corruption involving the highest levels of the provisional government. The movement claimed, at the time, that it chose to give the "benefit of the doubt" to the new government, however supported the departure of Temer government ministers involved in Lava Jato.

After the Bolsonaro government takes office in 2019, the movement maintained its non-partisan posture, supporting Lava Jato, and the fight against corruption, especially after the change in the understanding of the STF in relation to second instance arrest, which supposedly generated a setback in the fight against corruption and impunity in the country, causing the movement to once again call demonstrations throughout the country.

### Political Member

In March 2015 a video from 2013 was released where the leader of Vem Pra Rua in the state of Espírito Santo, Armando Fontoura, hits the time and leaves without working. He was, at the time of the video, an employee of Councilor Luiz Emanuel (PSDB) at the municipal council of Vitória, and was exonerated after the fraud was revealed. At the time the video was released, in addition to being the leader of the movement, he was also the general secretary of the PSDB in the city. This fact caught the attention of the movement to defend the flag against corruption.

### Public agent intimidation

In May 2015, a video was released in which law professor Henrique Quintanilha, one of the leaders of Vem Pra Rua in Bahia, intimidates traffic agents who fined him for parking in a space reserved for the physically handicapped and the elderly. In the video, Quintanilha uses card and influence peddling with the mayor of Salvador ACM Neto to intimidate the agents of Transalvador to cancel the fine. Quintanilha is known for his militancy in Vem Pra Rua and in the fight against corruption, which led to criticism regarding his stance in the episode.

### Quote in the "*Vaza Jato*"

In the Vaza Jato archive, published by *The Intercept*, it is pointed out that Deltan Dallagnol used political groups to be one of his personal spokespersons. One of those mentioned is the Movimento Vem Pra Rua.

# The Big Bang (Entourage)

"**The Big Bang**" is the sixth episode of the eighth season of the American comedy-drama television series *Entourage*. It is the 94th overall episode of the series and was written by series creator Doug Ellin and main cast member Jerry Ferrara, and directed by David Nutter. It originally aired on HBO on August 28, 2011.

The series chronicles the acting career of Vincent Chase, a young A-list movie star, and his childhood friends from Queens, New York City, as they attempt to further their nascent careers in Los Angeles. In the episode, Vince continues chasing Sophia, while Drama receives bad news over his strike. Meanwhile, Turtle welcomes the owners of his favorite restaurant, while Ari confronts his wife.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.16 million household viewers and gained a 1.3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received mixed reviews from critics, who criticized Vince's storyline and pacing.

## Plot

During his *Vanity Fair* photo shoot, Vince (Adrian Grenier) is upset when he learns that Sophia (Alice Eve) made him look as a womanizer in her article. While Shauna (Debi Mazar) wants him to focus on the good aspects, Vince is worried over what his mother might think and leaves the photoshoot to meet with Sophia. Sophia refuses to change the article, telling him once again that he means nothing to her.

Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) gets John (Sonny Marinelli) and Gina DeLuca (Elizabeth Regen), the owners of Don Pepe's restaurant, to arrive in Los Angeles to start setting the place. However, the couple are more focused on visiting the city, frustrating Turtle. Meanwhile, Ari (Jeremy Piven) is informed by Jim Lefkowitz (Rob Morrow) that Melissa (Perrey Reeves) will get half of his earnings and possibly take his share of the agency as he got $11 million from her. Eric (Kevin Connolly) ignores Melinda Clarke's phone calls, until she gives him a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. She claims the car was for getting her cast in a series, and insults him for still thinking about Sloan.

The network is getting angry over the strike affecting *Johnny's Bananas*. Drama (Kevin Dillon) starts worrying when his accounts are frozen, and Yagoda (William Fichtner) threatens to ruin his career if he does not stop the strike. He forcefully declines the demands, although he is relieved when he and Andrew Dice Clay are given their desired salaries to return to work immediately. Ari confronts Melissa at his house, annoyed that she is cooking with Bobby Flay. He tells her that he never hid his true nature from her, expressing that Melissa is the one who hid her true nature. While conversing with Melinda, Eric is approached by Johnny Galecki, who makes a crude remark over spending time with Sloan. Angry, Eric tells Scott (Scott Caan) to drop Galecki as a client.

## Production

### Development

The episode was written by series creator Doug Ellin and main cast member Jerry Ferrara, and directed by David Nutter. This was Ellin's 61st writing credit, Ferrara's second writing credit, and Nutter's ninth directing credit.

## Reception

### Viewers

In its original American broadcast, "The Big Bang" was seen by an estimated 2.16 million household viewers with a 1.3 in the 18–49 demographics. This means that 1.3 percent of all households with televisions watched the episode. This was a 15% decrease in viewership with the previous episode, which was watched by an estimated 2.53 million household viewers with a 1.5 in the 18–49 demographics.

### Critical reviews

"The Big Bang" received mixed reviews from critics. Steve Heisler of *The A.V. Club* gave the episode a "C+" grade and wrote, "A few things get resolved in 'The Big Bang', but it's becoming clear that the show doesn't want to bite off more than it can chew. The plotlines left open are the ones that the show's been building towards during its entire run, and the ones that close are the ones recently opened."

Nate Rawlings of *TIME* wrote, "*Entourage*'s writers are trying something difficult in the few weeks before the series ends — giving Vincent Chase, the womanizing, patronizing movie star, actual character development. They're trying to have Vince grow up and see the sadness in his years of chasing women, but they're doing it by having him chase a woman. Strange, I know." *Hollywood.com* wrote, "*Entourage* plodded along this episode, wrapping up a few major conflicts, proving that nothing Vince does is really of consequence, dispelling more drama with Sloane and making us actually feel sorry for Ari, which I didn't think was possible."

Ben Lee of *Digital Spy* wrote, "Melinda Clarke is still awesome. To Eric: "I can't believe I didn't f\**k you good enough to make you forget about her."" Renata Sellitti of *TV Fanatic* gave the episode a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "Looks like there's trouble brewing for Vincent "Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful" Chase. Nah, not really. He's just unhappy because the *Vanity Fair* story was completed and apparently Sophia struck a nerve. I mean, all she did was tell the world he's as deep as a puddle - correction: an insecure, womanizing puddle - and he freaks out. What's wrong with that? I'll tell you what's wrong with that, Sophia. Nobody messes with our Vince."

# Malhmoodite

**Malhmoodite** is a phosphate mineral first discovered at a mine called Union Carbide in Wilson Springs, Arkansas, United States. This mine is 10 km west of Magnet Cove, an alkaline igneous complex, and Union Carbide is in a contact region of alkalic igneous rocks and surrounding sedimentary rocks. The mineral has been approved by the Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names, IMA, to be named for the late Bertha K. Malhmood, the Administrative Assistant of the Branch of Analytical Laboratories, U.S. Geological Survey.

## Occurrence

Malhmoodite occurs perched on kolbeckite plates and seems to be the last deposited in the cavities it occurs. The mineral is very rare, with the only common place to find it in Wilson Springs. However, a few other specimens have been found in Belgium and England.

## Physical properties

Malhmoodite is a creamy-white mineral with a silky luster. It exhibits a 3 on the Mohs hardness scale. The spherules of Malhmoodite are made up of thin, flat, radiating, optically homogeneous crystals and seem to form in a parallel extinction and positive elongation. The cores of the spherules appear to be loose material, making up about one-third to one-half of the radius of the spherule. However, the core seems to show higher amounts of Si than the rest of the spherule by using X-ray spectra. The fibers of the mineral are soft and the density could not be directly measured. It was instead calculated using the unit-cell content of four formula units and determined to be 2.877 g/cm3. In the crystal structure work of Malhmoodite, it was found that there was a common \[Zr(PO4)2\]2- layer. It is considered a pseudohexagonal with orthorhombic dimensions.

## Optical properties

Malhmoodite is biaxial negative. The refractive indices are: α = 1.640, β = 1.652, and γ = 1.652 (Na). Dispersion is relatively weak.

## Chemical properties

Malhmoodite was examined using energy-dispersive X-ray spectra from a scanning electron microscope to show that the mineral contained major amounts of Zr and , a moderate amount of Fe, but also some minute amounts of Ca, Si, and Ti. However, because of malhmoodite's small size and rarity, it could not be determined chemically by macroscopic tools. X-ray powder data brought the most information about the formulation and then was combined with the elemental information from the scanning electron microscope. The mineral has been attempted to be synthesized in a lab multiple times, but there has been no success. The average composition from the examined malhmoodite grains are listed in the table below. It was collected from 25 analyses. The H2O was by difference and likely reduced by the vacuum when examining the samples. The numbers in the parentheses after the weight percent is the standard deviation.

| H2O | (14.7) | 3.2 |
| Total | (100.0) | --- |

## X-ray crystallography

A single bundle of fibers was examined with a Gandolfi camera with CrKα radiation to detect reflections. Malhmoodite is in the monoclinic crystal system. The result was recorded as d = 1.52 . When compared with everything in the known database, there was no match. However, there was a resemblance to a number of other compounds with the type of formula of MZr(4)•42 where M was equal to Mn, Ni, Co, Cu, and Zn. However, in that grouping before examining Malhmoodite, there was never Fe in the M spot.

# Malhas Hospital

**Malhas Hospital** (Arabic: مستشفى ملحس) was the first Jordanian-owned private hospital in Jordan, founded by physician Qassem Malhas on May 14, 1945. Situated on Qassem Malhas Street next to the First Circle in the historic Jabal Amman neighborhood, the hospital played a pivotal role in providing healthcare services to the nation.

## Founder

**Dr. Qassem Abdul Rahim Malhas** (1904 - May 1985) was a pioneering Palestinian doctor, activist, and humanitarian. In addition to founding Malhas Hospital, Dr. Malhas also played a key role in establishing the Jordanian Medical Association in 1952, and served as the second president of the Jordanian Al-Faisaly Club (1935-1953).

## History

### Establishment of Malhas Hospital

Malhas Hospital was established on May 14, 1945, by Dr. Qassem Malhas during a period when Jordan's medical infrastructure was still in its early stages. At that time, Amman had only seven hospitals: the Communicable Diseases Hospital, the Surgical Hospital, the Ainy Hospital, the Central Prison Hospital, the Italian Hospital, Dr. Qassem Malhas Hospital, and Dr. Boutros Abu Saba Hospital.

Recognizing the limitations of existing healthcare facilities, which lacked advanced medical equipment and did not adequately serve the general population, Dr. Malhas resolved to create a national institution that would benefit the Jordanian people and challenge the dominance of foreign-run healthcare services. This vision led to the establishment of Malhas Hospital, the first Jordanian-owned private hospital dedicated to local care. To ensure the hospital was well-equipped, Dr. Malhas took the initiative to acquire essential medical instruments, often transporting them from neighboring Palestine.

Opening with a capacity of thirty-five beds, Malhas Hospital became a significant milestone in Jordan's medical history. It marked Jordanian capability in healthcare and reflected the country's emerging independence, setting a precedent for the growth of private healthcare and playing a key role in the development of the medical sector.

### Jordan's First Radiation Machine

Shortly after its establishment in 1945, the hospital acquired Jordan's first radiation machine (10-100 Kilovoltage), a critical tool for treating superficial tumors. Radiologists worked closely with radiology physicists and technologists to administer treatment, as Jordan had no radiation oncologists at the time. In a generous gesture in 1962, Dr. Malhas donated the machine to the Jordanian Ministry of Health.

### Arab Wings Flight Ambulance Service

In October 1978, the Arab Wings Company launched its flight Ambulance Service, known as the Arab Wings Flight Ambulance Service (AWFAS), in collaboration with SOS International and Malhas Hospital in Amman. This subsidiary was jointly owned, with Arab Wings and Malhas Hospital each holding 30% ownership, while the remaining 40% was divided among other stakeholders in the medical sector in the Middle East. Through this partnership, Arab Wings and Malhas Hospital facilitated over 100 medical evacuation flights, each staffed by skilled doctors and nurses from Malhas Hospital in Amman.

## Redevelopment

Dr. Qassem Malhas funded Malhas Hospital for over 50 years since its establishment in 1945, without relying on external sources. However, as the hospital expanded, financial pressures necessitated seeking assistance from Jordanian banks, leading to significant loans. This ultimately resulted in the hospital's ownership being assumed by creditor banks, who put it up for sale in 2004.

After Dr. Qassem Malhas's passing in 1985, the hospital faced increasing debts, which led to a period of uncertainty. This period was marked by disagreements among Dr. Malhas's heirs, the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM), and other professional unions regarding the hospital's status.

### Ownership Transition

In 2004, three unions acquired the property at a public auction with plans to pursue commercial ventures such as a mall or a hotel. However, the hospital's original license strictly limited its use to healthcare services, making commercial redevelopment unfeasible. Due to these regulatory obstacles, the property was put up for sale again, and in 2011, it was purchased entirely by the Jordanian Bar Association.

### Preservation Efforts

The hospital was designated a heritage site by the municipality, recognizing its longstanding contribution to healthcare. This designation, along with uncertainty surrounding the original hospital license, created challenges for redevelopment, as it prohibited demolition or significant modifications. These restrictions led to calls for the building to be re-operated as a hospital, but the Jordanian Bar Association's ownership stalled any projects due to the heritage status deterring potential investors.

# Makalondi

**Makalondi** is a rural commune in the Torodi department of Niger. As of 2012, it had a population of 73,271.

## Geography

Makalondi is located in the Sahel. It borders Burkina Faso in the south and west.

### Flora and fauna

On the higher plains of Makalondi, for which tiger bush is typical as a vegetation form, grow winged seed plants, acacias, monkey bread trees, doum palms and caritat trees. *Khaya senegalensis* and Tamarind thrive in the lowlands. The average rainfall level between 1961 and 1990 was about 600 mm (23 in). The Makalondi District is recognized as an Important Bird Area. The major birds include the Long-tailed glossy starling and the Savile's bustard. The birds were studied mainly by Pierre Souvairan, who lived in the area for 30 years between 1968 and 1998. Until the 1970s, large mammals, including Loxodonta africana, Panthera leo and Syncerus caffer were common, particularly in the western part of the area. Most disappeared following extensive clearance of land for agriculture during the 1980s.

## History

Makalondi was separated from the territory of the rural community of Torodi on 18 August 2009 as a separate commune. The reasons for the separation of Torodi included the high population density in this area and in particular the position of Makalondi as an important border town. Since 2011, Makalondi has not belonged to the Say department, but to the newly founded department of Torodi.

## Population

Makalondi had 73,271 inhabitants as of the 2012 census, which lived in 8975 households.

## Culture

In Makalondi there are two Roman Catholic parishes belonging to the Archdiocese of Niamey: the parish of St. Francis in the main town, founded in 1967, and the parish of St. Spirit in the village of Bomanga (Bomoanga), founded in 1994. Its members are mainly members of the Gurma people ethnic group.

# Expressway S17 (Poland)

**Expressway S17** or **express road S17** (pl. *Droga ekspresowa S17*) is a Polish highway which, when completed, will run from Warsaw through Lublin to the border crossing with Ukraine at Hrebenne/Rava-Ruska.

As of 2024, 163 km (101 mi) out of planned 310 km (190 mi) are opened to traffic: the main section running from Warsaw through Lublin to Piaski, as well as bypasses of Tomaszów Lubelski and Hrebenne. The section from Piaski to the border with Ukraine is planned to get completed by 2028.

## History

The joint section of S12 and S17, including the bypass of Lublin, was constructed in years 2011 – 2014. The section between Warsaw and Lublin was to be finished by 2015, but with subsequent reductions in government spending on infrastructure, the investment was delayed. The section was constructed in the design-build system starting late 2015 and early 2016, and the road was opened to traffic in 2019 and 2020.

The road southeast of Lublin has smaller traffic density and received a lower priority, except for the bypass of Tomaszów Lubelski which was opened in 2021 (first carriageway only). Opening of the expressway between Piaski and Ukraine's border is expected from 2026 until 2028 depending on the section. In January 2024 contractors were selected to build two sections of the segment between Piaski and Zamość (16,6 km Piaski - Łopiennik ; 18,8 km Krasnystaw - Izbica ) with completion planned for 2027. Three sections between Zamość and Hrebenne are currently in the design stage of the design-build projects (Zamość Wschód - Zamość Południe, Zamość Południe - Tomaszów Lubelski, Tomaszów Lubelski - Hrebenne), with completion planned for 2026.

|  | Hrebenne bypass | 2.0 km (1.2 mi) | 2004 | Single carriageway, not signed as expressway. Second carriageway in planning. |

## Lublin bypass

In December 2009, the bidding process was started for the contracts to build the 66 km (41 mi) section of the road around Lublin, from Kurów to Piaski, which includes the city's east–west bypass road. The construction of this section started in 2010, with the first 13 km section to be opened to traffic in late 2012 and the rest in 2014. On this section, S17 overlaps with S12.

## Warsaw eastern bypass

In Warsaw, the S17 expressway will serve as the eastern bypass of the city. Apart from the southernmost section from Lubelska to Zakręt, which was opened in 2022, the construction timetable is not yet set due to the environmental permit having been challenged in the courts.
