# Michael Van Valkenburgh

**Michael Robert Van Valkenburgh** (born September 5, 1951) is an American landscape architect and educator. He has worked on a wide variety of projects  including public parks, college campuses, sculpture gardens, corporate landscapes, private gardens, and urban master plans  in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia. He has taught at Harvard's Graduate School of Design Since 1982 and served as chair of its Landscape Architecture Department from 1991 to 1996.

## Life and career

### Early years and education

Michael Van Valkenburgh was born on September 5, 1951, and grew up in Lexington, New York, where his family owned a small dairy farm. He has said: "My earliest childhood memories involve powerful images of landscapes. I grew up among open fields, planted hedgerows, and orchards chiseled into the rolling, otherwise-forested Catskill Mountains. And so landscapes made by human hands and by the indomitable power of nature have lived side-by-side in my imagination."

Van Valkenburgh received a Bachelor of Science from the College of Agriculture at Cornell University in 1973, studied photography at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, from 1974 to 1975, and earned an MFA in landscape architecture from the College of Fine Arts at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1977. The focus of his graduate study was environmental psychology, specifically the relationship between people and landscapes. He worked at Carr, Lynch, Associates, Inc., in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from 1979 until 1982, when he founded his own firm, Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Inc. He received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts which allowed him to experiment with ice as a material in landscape design. In 1988, Van Valkenburgh received the Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome.

### Teaching career

Van Valkenburgh is the Charles Eliot Professor of Practice, Emeritus at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. His career at the GSD began in 1982; he served as program director from 1987 to 1989, and as Chairman of the Department of Landscape Architecture from 1991 to 1996.

### Design approach and inspiration

Van Valkenburgh describes his work as an exploration of the living qualities of the landscape and an attempt to bring the power of landscape experience into everyday life. His designs are based on a sensitivity to the particular qualities of each project site and thus do not necessarily resemble one another with respect to form, details, or imagery. According to fellow landscape architect James Corner, Van Valkenburgh's work demonstrates "that the knowledge of a place derives more deeply through experience of material, time, and event, than through visuality alone, and that landscape experience is fuller and more profound when it accrues through inhabitation than through the immediacy of the image or the objectification of the new."

As a landscape architect, he has been influenced by his upbringing in an agricultural setting and his education at Cornell University during the 1970s—in particular his exposure to Ian McHarg's ground-breaking book *Design with Nature*. Van Valkenburgh has been recognized for his ability to successfully integrate new methods of sustainable design and ecological renewal into the experience of the places he designs, making sustainability part of the beauty of a place that educates visitors and raises environmental awareness.

Crediting artist Robert Smithson's writings on Frederick Law Olmsted and the "landscape dialectic" as a source of inspiration, Van Valkenburgh's landscapes are sometimes completely original explorations of naturalism and the constructed urban landscape (for instance, Teardrop Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park) but he has also completed many sensitive historic landscape restorations including Harvard Yard; Marion Square in Charleston, South Carolina; and several works at Wellesley College. According to landscape theorist Anita Berrizbeitia, in her introduction to a book of essays on the work of MVVA, "His parks and public open spaces are based on the conviction that not only can the power of nature and the power of the man-made coexist, but they are the better for doing so."

Van Valkenburgh approaches his designs in such a way that the spirit of place is at the forefront and the center of the design. To create a space that reflects the desired future for an area and give it a spirit of hope and progress requires a lot of foresight to the desired effect. Van Valkenburgh designs his projects in a way that reflect the desired future of the area in the spirit of the place they are striving for. His projects often begin with ordinary places that he is able to rejuvenate into a place that cause people to look past what it was and instead look to the future of the park as well as the surrounding city because of the spirit of the place Michael Van Valkenburgh has instilled in the space with his adaptive reuse of this post industrial wasteland and his intentional intertwining of it with nature.

Noting how many celebrated urban parks Van Valkenburgh has designed, The New York Times called him “a diviner of places, a city whisperer.” Adrian Benepe, the former New York City parks commissioner, compared him to Frederick Law Olmsted, the creator (with Calvert Vaux) of Central Park in Manhattan and Prospect Park in Brooklyn. “Michael is the most Olmstedian of the landscape architects working today, without ever copying Olmsted directly," Benepe said.

### Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Inc.

(MVVA) in 1982, he currently leads the firm with five fellow partners: Laura Solano, Matthew Urbanski, Paul Seck, Gullivar Shepard, and Emily Mueller De Celis. The firm has 100 employees and three offices, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Brooklyn, New York and Denver, Colorado. MVVA has completed a broad range of landscape design, construction, and restoration projects in both the public and private realms. To date, MVVA has completed over 350 projects and has cultivated an expertise in sustainability, soil toxicity, and waterfront infrastructure. The firm collaborates frequently with artists, including Maya Lin, Ann Hamilton, Martin Puryear, Mel Bochner, Meg Webster, and Oscar Tuazon.

Michael Van Valkenburgh devotes himself to design work and teaching. He has a National Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Board certification and is a registered Landscape Architect in twenty states. In 2002, he was a speaker in the Spotlight on Design Lecture Series at the National Building Museum. In 2003, Van Valkenburgh served on the selection jury of the World Trade Center Site Memorial Competition and won the National Design Award for Environmental Design from the Smithsonian Institution's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. In November 2004, Van Valkenburgh was personally thanked by First Lady Laura Bush for his design for the renovation of Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. In 2007, Van Valkenburgh was asked to present the Rutgers Department of Landscape Architecture Margaret O. Cekada Memorial Lecture. In 2010, he was awarded two major prizes: the Arnold W. Brunner Memorial Prize in Architecture, from the American Academy of Arts and letters, for contributions to architecture as an art, and the Brendan Gill Prize from the Municipal Arts Society of New York City, which recognized Brooklyn Bridge Park as the work of art that best captured the spirit and energy of New York City.

# Herman Bundesen

**Herman Niels Bundesen** (April 27, 1882  August 25, 1960) was a German-American medical professional, politician, and author. He served two tenures as the chief health official of the city of Chicago, holding this role for more than 34 years in total. He also was elected Cook County coroner. In 1936, he ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic Party nomination for governor of Illinois.

Respected in his field, Bundesen was also known for his flamboyance. He was seen to desire celebrity, taking many opportunities for media photo ops.

In addition to his tenure as Cook County Coroner and his long service as Chicago's top health official, he also served as president of the American Public Health Association and as a senior surgeon with the United States Public Health Service.

## Early life

Herman Neils Bundesen was born on April 27, 1882, in Berlin, Germany. He was born to a Danish father and German mother. He was brought to Chicago at a young age by his widowed mother.

He graduated in 1909 from Northwestern University Medical School.

During World War I, Bundesen served in the United States Army.

## Career

After the war, he returned to Chicago to practice medicine.

In 1914, Bundensen came to work for the Chicago Health Department as an epidemiologist. He was working for the health department during the time the Spanish Flu Pandemic impacted the city in 1918, playing a role in securing flu vaccine for the city. A 1921 Chicago Tribune article reported that, while in this role, Bundensen happened upon a crew dumping trash into Lake Michigan and ordered them to stop. Instead of listening, a worker pulled out a pickaxe, in response to which Bundensen produced a pistol, causing the pickaxe-wielding worker to flee.

He played a role in fighting a local epidemic of typhoid. Litigation was brought in 1921, raised by Jennie Barmore. While upholding a forced-quarantine imposed by Bundensen and Robertson on Barmore for being an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid in its April 1922 ruling, Clarence Darrow had been the lawyer representing Barmore. the Supreme Court of Illinois also found that the health commissioner lacked much authority, since the city had no board of health (as authorized by the state), but instead had itself established a Department of Health. The court decided that the Chicago City Council had no authority to delegate to the Department of Health authority equivalent to what the state would allow them to grant a board of health. This legal decision had the consequence of greatly weakening the legal authority of the Commissioner of Health of Chicago. The top health official of Chicago would have weakened authority until the Chicago City Council passed an ordinance establishing a board of health on May 4, 1932.

### First tenure as Chicago City Health Commissioner

Bundensen was appointed as Health Commissioner of Chicago on February 1, 1922, after John Dill Robertson tendered his resignation. He had been appointed because of his efforts in combatting the typhoid epidemic.

Early into his tenure, he declared a battle against sexually transmitted disease, controversially advocating for city-funded venereal disease clinics and municipal distribution of prophylactics, and even making them available in brothels. Chicago newspapers and medical journals criticized this, arguing that it promoted "immoral" behavior.

Bundensen opposed the opening of the Illinois Birth Control League's first birth control clinic in 1923, which was operated by Rachelle Yarros, and largely provided wedded women with diaphragms prescribed by doctors.

Early into his tenure, he was informed of a child abuser impersonating a dentist and going to public schools claiming to have been sent to examine children. He tracked the imposter to a rooming house, where a woman told him that the man was out. He threatened to arrest the woman in his place, after which she admitted the abuser was hiding in a closet. The *Chicago Tribune* reported the story under the headline "Dr. Bundesen Nabs Moron Who Hoaxed School".

He launched an infant welfare program, emphasizing parental education. This was responsible for a drastic decrease in infant mortality in Chicago. The city also saw a decrease in maternal mortality.

He was successful in decreasing the city's rates of diphtheria.

Bundensen made milk inspection a priority. in December 1925, at his urging, the Chicago City Council defied the 1911 ban by the state government of Illinois on tuberculin testing of cattle. In 1926, he had persuaded Illinois dairy farmers to destroy diseased cows, and convinced milk processors to improve their equipment for pasteurizing. He also increased the enforcement of pasteurization laws. In the year 1928, the health department conducted 56,127 dairy farm inspections, a more than thirteen-fold increase from the number they had conducted in the year 1920.

During his time in office, he acquired celebrity, often taking photo ops. He received much attention for numerous relief efforts he participated in. For instance, he was photographed handing bottles of milk from a railroad boxcar to children during a relief expedition Chicago sent to Miami after the 1926 Miami hurricane. Other relief efforts he participated in included relief efforts to address the Tri-State tornado outbreak and the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 Taking credit for his work as health commissioner, Bundensen would often in interviews and appearances call himself the, "savior of babies, friend of mothers, and builder of public health.

Bundesen wrote baby books which became widely sold in the 1920s and 1930s. The Board of Health would also mail free copies to new mothers they identified from the city's birth records.

In 1927, members of the Chicago Sanitary District board accused Bundesen of having spent $248,000 of health department funds "mostly for publicity".

Bundensen became known, particularly for his efforts related to milk.

At the start of 1928, Mayor of Chicago William Hale Thompson fired Bundesen after he had refused to add the mayor's campaign literature to packets containing maternity health advice that were disseminated by his office. Thomposon's firing of Bundensen received quick approval by the Chicago City Council.

### Health director of the Chicago Sanitary District

Bundensen worked briefly as the health director of the Chicago Sanitary District. Bundensen had entered discussion with the Sanity Board's president, T. J. Crowe, in late 1927 about holding such a position. In this position, Bundensen was involved in talks between the district and Chicago steel plants to decrease their contribution Lake Michigan water pollution.

### Cook County Coroner

In November 1928, running as the Democratic nominee, Bundesen was elected Cook County Coroner. He defeated the incumbent Republican coroner, Oscar Wolff, by a three-to-one margin. He received in excess of one million votes.

In this position, Bundensen continued to take opportunities for media attention. He took advantage of opportunities for media exposure after notable murders as well, including the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre and a 1930 mafia slaying of a *Chicago Tribune* reporter.

He would step down as coroner on November 13, 1931, in order to be reinstated as health commissioner, and would be succeeded as coroner by Frank J. Walsh, the former clerk of the criminal court.

### Second tenure as Chicago City Health Commissioner and tenure as President of the Chicago Board of Health

In the 1931 Chicago mayoral election, Bundesen was speculated as a potential independent candidate, but in early March 1931 he declined to run in the April election. Despite having been rivals of sorts with Democratic nominee Anton Cermak, Bundesen supported him over William Hale Thompson in the election. Later in 1931, he was hired by the newly elected mayor Cermak to again head serve as Health Commissioner of the City of Chicago.

Going off of the allegations of spending that had been raised against Bundesen in 1927 by board of the Chicago Sanitary District, in 1931, Elmer L. Williams independently published a report accusing Bundensen of multiple improprieties during his time in civil service.

This time with national funding and public support, Bundesen was able to better tackle sexually transmitted diseases than he had been in his first tenure. He was successful in decreasing the rates of syphilis.

In May 1932, the Chicago City Council established a five-member board of health, an act which the powers of the Department of Health. Bundesen became president of the Chicago Board of Health, and also retained the position of health commissioner.

He continued to focus on his efforts to decrease infant mortality after his return to power. He also focused, again, on combatting impure milk.

Always keen on media attention, in 1933, Bundesen would use take advantage of opportunities media exposure arising from the occasion of Cermak's assassination.

In 1933, while the city was hosting its Century of Progress world's fair he received national praise for identifying an outbreak of amoebiasis in the city and eradicating it.

In 1936, he ran for the Democratic nomination for governor of Illinois, challenging incumbent governor Henry Horner. Bundesen's campaign was supported by the Chicago Democratic political machine, which was seeking to unseat Horner after Horner vetoed a bill supported by political bosses such as Mayor Edward J. Kelly that would have allowed bookmakers to operate legally. Kelly calculated that Bundesen's name recognition from his popular baby books could carry him to victory. During the campaign, Horner did not refer to Bundesen by name, and only referred to him as "Kelly's stooge". Horner distributed a rival "baby book" during the campaign. Bundesen, ultimately, was not taken by many as a serious candidate by many, in part due to his unorthodox campaigning style. He would, on the campaign trail across the state, don a monocle and spats while pulling stunts like pounding on his own abdomen in an effort to show his physical fitness. While Bundesen did win Cook County, Horner's support in the rest of the state was enough to carry him to a sizable victory.

After losing the Democratic primary for governor, Bundesen returned to his job as the chief health official of Chicago. He continued serving as President of the Chicago Board of Health until his death, and continued to serve as Health Commissioner of Chicago until only months earlier (being succeeded in that position by Samuel L. Andelman in April 1960). Over the years, Bundesen would be regularly speculated as a potential mayoral candidate.

By 1937, his efforts had made Chicago set new record lows for infant mortality rates in a large American city. Also in 1937, Bundesen participated in an experimental treatment for a critically ill infant girl. Sulfanilamide was injected into his bloodstream, given time to produce antibodies, and then his blood was injected into the baby, a treatment that ultimately saved her life.

In the autumn of 1937, Chicago was hit by a polio outbreak. After Bundesen consulted with mayor Edward Joseph Kelly, he and the Chicago Board of Health ordered that schools remain closed. This threatened to delay the start of the school year. However, superintendent of Chicago Public Schools William Johnson and deputy superintendent Minnie Fallon implemented a revolutionary program that provided distance learning to elementary school students through radio broadcasts.

Bundesen supported Jonas Salk's efforts to eradicate polio. In 1955, Chicago became one of the earliest cities in the United States to introduce Salk's polio vaccine. Bundesen campaigned for total inoculation of all youth.

Bundesen garnered strong repute within his field. He served as president of the American Public Health Association, and as a senior surgeon with the United States Public Health Service.

## Personal life

In 1909, Bundesen married Rega Russell, who adopted the name Rega Russell Bundesen after wedding him. They had six children.

### Death

Bundensen died of pancreatic cancer at Wesley Memorial Hospital in Chicago on August 25, 1960, at the age of 78. The cancer had been detected in April 1960, when Bundsen was having gallbladder operation. He had been in the hospital from then through July 8, when he was released and went to his summer home in Cedar Lake, Indiana. However, he returned to the hospital on July 24.

title: Tom Wass

abstract:
Thomas George Wass was a Nottinghamshire cricketer, a bowler best remembered, alongside Albert Hallam, for bowling that gave Nottinghamshire a brilliant County Championship win in 1907. Wass also holds the record for the most wickets taken for Nottinghamshire — 1633 for 20.34 each. Tall and solidly built, Wass had a highly rhythmic run-up that allowed him to be, in his prime, fast through the air. However, it was his leg-cutter that made him formidable, and Wass, unlike most fast bowlers of the time, was very dangerous after rain but less effective on a firm pitch when the ball did not turn. He also had a very difficult slower ball that on his best days caught many batsmen unaware. Wass was a very moderate fieldsman, and had no pretensions to be a batsman — though he did score 56 against Derbyshire in 1906, he was dropped four times in doing so. Wass began his career in local cricket but became a professional for Edinburgh Academicals and Liverpool. Qualified by residence, Wass was offered a place on the Lancashire staff but declined, yet he still took some time to establish himself in a Nottinghamshire side that was in the late 1890s exceedingly weak in bowling and it was never understood why he was given so little to do when he finally broke into the team in the last game against Lancashire. In his first two full seasons, he had very modest records, but in 1900 Wass became Nottinghamshire's chief bowler along with John Gunn, and bowled the team to seven victories as against five in the three season from 1897 to 1899. In 1901, apart from one match on a sticky wicket against a weak Derbyshire eleven, Wass was so disappointing he was dropped from the side. He took 58 wickets at the contemporaneously high cost of 29.72. On the wet wickets of 1902 Wass became one of the most difficult bowlers in the game, capturing 140 wickets at 15.89 runs each in all first-class cricket. It remains noteworthy how Wass' bowling was the decisive factor in each Nottinghamshire victory that summer:
  - v Sussex at Hove: seven for 19 and five for 22
    - TOTAL 12 wickets for 41 runs
  - v Leicestershire at Leicester: eight for 73 and five for 41
    - TOTAL 13 wickets for 114 runs
  - v Derbyshire at Derby: three for 75 and six for 152
    - TOTAL 9 wickets for 227 runs
  - v Gloucestershire at Trent Bridge: six for 94 and seven for 60
    - TOTAL 13 wickets for 154 runs
  - v Derbyshire at Trent Bridge: five for 64 and six for 53
    - TOTAL 11 wickets for 117 runs
  - v Lancashire at Old Trafford: five for 64 and seven for 48
    - TOTAL 12 wickets for 112 runs
  - GRAND TOTAL for six wins: 70 wickets for 765 runs, average 10.93 In 1903, despite numerous soft pitches, Wass was less effective, taking 76 wickets, though this was frequently attributed to the extreme placidity of the Trent Bridge pitches in fine weather. Still, in 1904, though overworked in unfavourable conditions, Wass appeared for the Players at Kennington Oval, which was to remain one of only two appearances he ever made in a representative match. In 1905, he was at times deadly but handicapped by an injury in a local game, which kept him out of a third of Nottinghamshire's county matches. May 1906 saw Wass at his deadliest, including one of the most remarkable games in county cricket at Aigburth, where he took 16 wickets in a day on a sticky wicket, yet Nottinghamshire still lost. However, after he recovered from a strain sustained in the Whitsuntide game against Surrey "the long-continued dry weather found out his limitations". In 1907, however, Wass opened with something even more sensational: taking 6 wickets for 3 runs against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) after two blank days. This time wet weather continued almost continuously all summer, allowing Wass and Hallam to dominate match after match to such an extent that they took 298 wickets between them in just nineteen games, of which Nottinghamshire won fifteen and were never defeated. Nobody else bar John Gunn did any serious work, and Gunn took only 25 wickets in seventeen matches in which he bowled. Wass was chosen in the thirteen for the First Test against South Africa at Lord's in 1907 but left out of the final eleven. In 1908, although Hallam declined owing to rheumatism in his right shoulder, Wass remained at his best and took sixteen for 103 in a day against Essex. 1909, a summer as wet as 1907, was very disappointing: although Hallam was back to full fitness, Wass had his worst record since 1905, but in the following two years he recovered his form, and when helped by the wicket remained as formidable as ever despite having lost much of his former pace. The wet summer of 1912 was disappointing, with the wickets more helpful than ever: Wass took fifty fewer wickets than in 1907. Then in 1913 he failed to reach 100 wickets in a full season for the first time in ten years. 1914, when Wass was handicapped by injury and missed seven games, saw him fall further to 69 wickets at his highest average since 1903. After the war he appeared only once, in Joe Hardstaff senior's benefit match. "Topsy" Wass was regarded as a character but was generally popular drawing a remarkably warm tribute from Sir Pelham Warner when he died.

**WXZO** (96.7 MHz "MeTV FM") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Willsboro, New York. Owned by Vox AM/FM, it primarily serves the Champlain Valley, including Burlington, Vermont, and Plattsburgh, New York. Its studios are located in Colchester, Vermont. The station broadcasts a soft oldies radio format using the syndicated music service known as "MeTV FM." In morning drive time, the station carries *Intelligence for Your Life with John Tesh*. ABC News Radio provides news updates.

WXZO is a Class A station with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 1,000 watts. The transmitter is off Empire State Trail (New York State Route 22) in Willisboro.

## History

### Early years

The station signed on the air in July 1996. As a construction permit, its call sign was WWGT. Once it began broadcasting, the station changed its call letters to WXPS. The city of license was originally Vergennes, Vermont. WXPS aired an alternative rock format and called itself "The Pulse". Subsequently, it aired a sports radio format along with sister station WEAV (960 AM) in Plattsburgh, New York.

Capstar Broadcasting purchased WXPS in 1998. On December 14, the sports talk format, which by then also incorporated some hot talk programs, was abandoned. The new format was country music and the new moniker was "Kix 96.7".

Around the same time, WXPS moved its city of license and transmitter from Vermont to Willsboro, New York. This move improved the station's signal in Burlington, the largest city in the region. Plans for an FM translator at 97.3 MHz were abandoned and the construction permit canceled two months earlier. The following April, WEAV left the sports talk simulcast and implemented a separate talk format.

### Smooth jazz and talk

In 1999, WXPS changed formats again, this time to smooth jazz. It played mostly instrumental jazz-flavored tracks with some soft R&B vocals.

In April 2001, Clear Channel Communications, which acquired the station after a series of mergers, migrated the smooth jazz format to sister station WLCQ (92.1 FM; now classic hits WVTK). Upon the completion of this move, WXPS resumed simulcasting with WEAV, this time airing its talk format under the "Zone" branding. It switched its call letters to WXZO.

### Oldies and Top 40

Clear Channel announced on November 16, 2006, that it would sell its Champlain Valley stations after the company was bought by several private equity firms. This prompted a sale to Vox Communications in 2008.

On September 17, Vox again ended the simulcast with WEAV (except for *First Light* and *Imus in the Morning*). WXZO adopted an oldies format, branding itself "96.7 DOT-FM" in reference to former local Top 40 station WDOT (1390 AM; later WCAT). Much of the station's on-air staff under this format had once worked for WDOT. (Despite this branding, the call letters were not changed. The oldies format was previously heard on WVTK.

On September 17, 2010, the oldies format was replaced with a contemporary hit radio format, branded "Planet 96.7". At that time, the remaining simulcasts with WEAV ceased. WXZO competed against WXXX (95.5 FM) and Adult Top 40 rival WYZY (106.3 FM, now WNBZ-FM). On August 25, 2017, WXZO flipped to rhythmic contemporary as "The New Hot 96.7".

### Me-TV FM

In early January 2019, following Vox's acquisition of rival Top 40 station WXXX, WXZO began stunting with a promotional loop of oldies music. It also aired liners, read in the first-person, that emphasized the word "Me". The last song on WXZO as *Hot 96.7* was "Love Lies" by Khalid.

On January 11, 2019, WXZO ended stunting and launched a Soft Oldies format, branded as "96.7 MeTV FM." The station said it would play a "variety of classic hits, deep tracks and softer sounds from the '60s, 70s, '80s, and beyond." The name "MeTV FM" refers to the popular Me-TV diginet television service that runs classic TV shows. Its music service also plays softer songs from the same era.

# Penicuik Town Hall

**Penicuik Town Hall**, formerly the **Cowan Institute**, is a municipal building in the High Street, Penicuik, Midlothian, Scotland. The structure, which was the meeting place of Penicuik Burgh Council, is a Category C listed building.

## History

The building was the initiative of the owner of the local papermaking business at Valleyfield Mills, Alexander Cowan, who left money for the purpose of establishing an institution for the "recreation and instruction" of the local community. Although Cowan had died in 1859, it was not until the early 1890s that his son, Charles Cowan, who was the local Member of Parliament, invited his niece's husband, Campbell Douglas, an established architect, to prepare a plans for the building. The site they chose for the new building was occupied by a row of domestic properties.

The new building was designed in the Renaissance Revival style, built in red sandstone at a cost of £5,000 and was completed in 1894. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage with six bays facing onto the High Street; the second bay from the left featured a doorway surmounted by a heraldic panel and flanked by two small stained glass windows; above the doorway were the crests of Scotland, England and Ireland, separated by brackets which supporting a balcony; there was a three-light window on the first floor and a gable containing a small window above. The third bay from the left, which slightly projected forward, contained a panel, which inscribed with the year 1893, and was surmounted by an octagonal tower with a dome. The right hand section, which incorporated more regular fenestration, included an ogee-shaped doorway in the third bay from the right. Internally, the principal rooms were an assembly hall, a library, a gymnasium and a museum.

Three baths were added in 1900 and a projecting clock, similar in style to that on the Canongate Tolbooth, was added in 1901. The building was used as accommodation for young soldiers serving at Glencorse Barracks during both the First World War and the Second World War. In July 1936 a tradition was established whereby, in the last week of May each year, a local couple would be selected in the building to be the local hunter and hunter's lass: apparently when Robert the Bruce granted land in the local area to the Clerk family, he insisted that, whenever Kings or Queens of Scotland hunt in the local area, the appointed hunter must attend the gathering and give three blasts on a bugle.

The trustees of the institute sold the building to Penicuik Burgh Council in 1959 and, after it had been treated for dry rot, it re-opened as the local town hall in 1963. However, it ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Midlothian District Council was formed in 1975. The building was subsequently used as the registrar's office and also as a venue for district court hearings. After the council indicated that the building might be surplus to its requirements, the Penicuik Community Development Trust was formed in March 2005 to ensure the building remained open and fully utilised. In late 2020 a programme of works was initiated to restore the outside of the building, to modernise the heating system and to install Wi-Fi equipment.

# Hexanitratoaluminate

**Hexanitratoaluminate** is an anion of aluminium and six nitrate groups with formula \[Al(NO3)6\]3− that can form salts called hexanitratoaluminates.

Hexaperchloratoaluminate \[Al(ClO4)6\]3− has perchlorate groups instead of nitrate, and is similarly sensitive to water. Pentanitratoaluminates have five nitrate groups. Tetranitratoaluminates have only four nitrate groups.

## Examples

A known salt is potassium hexanitratoaluminate K3\[Al(NO3)6\].

Tetramethylammonium hexanitratoaluminate can be formed from tetramethylammonium chloride, aluminium chloride and dinitrogen tetroxide diluted with nitromethane.

Rubidium hexanitratoaluminate also exists.

# Rivington Não Rio

***Rivington Não Rio*** is a studio album by American producer Guillermo Scott Herren under his alias of Prefuse 73, released by Temporary Residence Limited in 2015. *Rivington Não Rio* was Herren's first album since 2011's *The Only She Chapters*, after which he was told by his label that they would not be accepting more material from him. After the release, he spent his time away from music and then later collaborating with other artists and attempting to start a new label called Yellow Year.

After four years since his past album, Herren signed to Temporary Residence Limited and released two EPs along with *Rivington Não Rio* in 2015. The album received generally favorable reviews.

## Background and production

In 2011, after releasing *The Only She Chapters*, Herron's eighth album for Warp, the label informed Herren that it would not accept any more material from him. This led to the rights to the master recordings of his material to be kept with the label. Herren was not sure why he was dropped by Warp and felt unsure about what direction to take next. Herren worked with Teebs (real name Mtendere Mandowa) creating a group called Sons of the Morning. In 2013, he launched a label called Yellow Year, which would release an album titled *Speak Soon* a collaboration between Herren and many contemporary and older musicians including Mandowa and Chung as well as the reclusive Swiss musician Dimitri Grimm, aka Dimlite. Herren embarked on a month-long American tour in January 2014 under the Yellow Year banner, but the album was not released due to creative and operational differences. The remainder of 2014 was spent looking for a label to release his new material. Under the recommendation of musicians Nigel Godrich and Kieran Hebden, Herron signed to Temporary Residence Limited.

Including the album, Herron released two EPs through the label in 2015. The music on the EPs was written in a six-month period following the album being handed in at the label.

## Release

*Rivington Não Rio* was released on May 12, 2015 on the Temporary Residence Limited label. The album was part of a group of releases, including the *Forsyth Garden EP* on April 28, 2015 and the *Every Color of Darkness* EP on July 14, 2015.

# Honya Kengle

The **Honyaji Bhagoji Kengle** (also spelled as **Honya Kengla**, **Honya Naik**, **Honya Kenglia**, **Honya Koli**) was Koli freedom activist from Maharashtra who sought freedom from British colonial rule in India. Kengle also fought against Sahukars, or Moneylenders who were capturing the lands of poor native Indians and British supporting elements. The Bombay government announced the reward of INR 1000 for Honya Kengle dead or alive and 200 - 600 INR for other revolutionaries. He was labelled as an Outlaw by British government. He led the Koli rebellion from 1872 to 1876.

Honya Kengla was considered as Robin Hood of Bombay and a Hero of his region. He was fully support by Tribal communities of West Ghats.

## Early life

The Honya Kengle was born in 1836 in a Koli family of Jambhori village in Pune district to Naik Bhagoji Kengle who was chief of Mahadev Kolis of Kengle clan.

## Revolutionary activities

In 1872, the Honya Kengle took up arms against British rule in Maharashtra mostly in North West Poona. He collected a revolutionary army of Kolis in Deccan and attacked and plundered the British controlled territory in Pune, Nashik, Thana and Ahmednagar. He cut off the Nose of Marwadi Baniyas because they were in full support of British officials.

In 1874, a special British force under Colonel Scott and Mr. W. F. Sinclair C. S. was despatched to burn down the rebellion. The Koli rebellion under the leadership of Honya Koli was principally directed against the moneylenders. The disturbances merged into the more widespread Deccan riots of 1875.

## Death

In 1876, During the fight between British troops and Honiya Kengle's revolutionary Koli army, they were defeated by troops and Kengle was captured by Major H. Daniel but Kengle had become a hero throughout the region. When he was tried in Pune, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty, despite the incriminating evidence against him. The British judge promptly ordered that Honiya be re tried in Bombay city. The case was heard there two months later, and Honiya was hanged in Ahmednagar central jail.

# Jason Kingdon

**Jason Kingdon** is a computer scientist and entrepreneur. He was previously CEO of Blue Prism and co-founder of several AI companies. He was co-founder of UCL's Intelligent Systems Lab where he introduced the use of a neural network in live financial forecasting, and co-founder and CEO of Searchspace, a company that applied AI to detect money laundering and detect insider dealing at banks and stock exchanges. In 2008, he joined Blue Prism as executive chairman. The company has been credited with creating the Robotic Process Automation market.

## Education

Kingdon completed his undergraduate degree in pure mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, masters in Mathematical Logic and Theory Computation at the University of Bristol and his PhD in Computer Science at University College London. His PhD thesis was on feed-forward Neural Networks (NN) and genetic algorithms for automated financial time series modelling.

## Career

Kingdon was one of the earliest pioneers in applying AI for enterprise-scale problems starting in the mid-nineties.

While a PhD student at UCL, he co-founded Searchspace and also co-founded the Intelligent Systems Lab. Searchspace applied AI to detect money laundering, detect insider dealing detection at banks and stock exchanges. In 2005, he sold Searchspace to Warburg Pincus for $140 million.

Kingdon became an early investor in Blue Prism, a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) company, a category of enterprise software that it helped define. He led business strategy and the IPO in 2016. As of 2020, he is the CEO and chairman of the company. The company's software provides a 'digital workforce' to organisations that carry out tasks the same way existing users do. It has over 2000 customers in 70 commercial sectors, and in more than 170 countries.

In 2020 in an article for *Computer Weekly*, Kingdon introduced the notion of the Digital Singularity where he pointed out that a consequence of robotic process automation was that all digital technologies past, present, and future could now interoperate. He suggests this will usher a new phase of hyper-acceleration of digital technologies akin to the invention of a new Internet.

## Awards

Kingdon received the 2003 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, and on behalf of Searchspace received Deloitte Fast 50 list of fastest growing technology companies in 2002 and 2005, and the *Sunday Times*Tech Track 100 in 2002 and 2005.

## Publications

Kingdon has published books, patents and papers in the fields of neural networks, genetic algorithms, fraud detection, robotic process automation and the future of enterprise computing.

His patents include: "Method and system for combating robots and rogues" and "Value flow monitoring system".
