title: Torre de Collserola

abstract: Torre de Collserola is a uniquely designed tower located on the Tibidabo hill in the Serra de Collserola, in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was designed by the architect Sir Norman Foster and by the Spanish civil engineers Julio Martínez Calzón and Manuel Julià Vilardell. This emblematic tower was built in 1991 by the construction company Cubiertas y MZOV S.A. for the 1992 Summer Olympics. It features a pod for floor space like many towers but uses guy wires for lateral support like a mast. Mainly used as a TV and radio transmitter, this futuristic design provides the highest viewpoint over the city. The top antenna reaches 288.4 m (946 ft) and the top of the pod, which has thirteen floors, reaches 152 m (499 ft). The highest point of this tower is the highest place one could be in the city of Barcelona. The tenth floor of the pod is open to the public.

# Torre de Collserola

**Torre de Collserola** (Catalan pronunciation: \[ˈtorə ðə kuʎsəˈɾɔlə\]) is a uniquely designed tower located on the Tibidabo hill in the Serra de Collserola, in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was designed by the architect Sir Norman Foster and by the Spanish civil engineers Julio Martínez Calzón and Manuel Julià Vilardell. This emblematic tower was built in 1991 by the construction company Cubiertas y MZOV S.A. for the 1992 Summer Olympics.

The highest point of this tower is the highest place one could be in the city of Barcelona. The tenth floor of the pod is open to the public.

## Events

The tower has a space for event organisations, consisting of a reception room and an observation deck set 560 metres above sea level.

## Construction

The tower has a hollow slip-formed, reinforced concrete main shaft of only 4.5 m diameter, which reduces to a mere 3 m to hold a radio mast which telescopes from 2.7 m to 0.7 m. The thirteen floors are surrounded by a perimeter of open stainless steel grilles and suspended from the shaft by three primary vertical steel trusses.

The total weight of the tower is 3,000 tons.

A large number of cables keep the tower upright:

* The lower guys are composed three series of 180 parallel strand cables (15 mm diameter) made from pre-tensioned high-strength steel with a polyethylene covering, each;
* The upper guys are made of three series of 7 aramid fibre cables in parallel (56 mm diameter), each terminated with a resin socket. The three upper cables have a combined breaking strength of 4,200 tons.

# Yummy (James album)

***Yummy*** is the eighteenth studio album by British indie rock band James, released through Nothing But Love and Virgin Music on 12 April 2024. It has received positive reviews from critics.

## Recording

*Yummy* consists of 12 tracks written by James members Tim Booth, Jim Glennie, Saul Davies and Mark Hunter. It is their first studio release as a nine-piece. Produced by Leo Abrahams, it was later mixed by Cenzo Townshend and mastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios.

A second, more experimental album, *Pudding*, was recorded during the sessions for *Yummy*, and consists mainly of unfinished demos and jams similar to James' 1994 work *Wah Wah*. This was included as a bonus disc on the deluxe edition of *Yummy*.

The album does not feature regular James drummer David Baynton-Power, although he is featured on the inside cover. His drum parts are mostly played by Davies and Deborah Knox-Hewson. There are also a great number of guest musicians contributing, notably producer Abrahams and Peter Glennie, brother of Jim.

## Reception

According to the review aggregator Metacritic, *Yummy* received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 79 out of 100 from four critic scores. Writing for *Clash Music*, Emma Harrison called this album "an inspired, thought-provoking work" that is "joyful and uplifting throughout", across "twelve astute tracks that tackle all manner of themes that tackle everything from AI and ageism to mental life and mortality and everything in-between" and rated *Yummy* an 8 out of 10. *Hot Press*' John Walshe also scored this 8 out of 10, calling it "like a poppier *OK Computer*" that is "brimming over with soaring melodies and toe-tapping rhythms". At *Louder Than War*, *Yummy* was named Album of the Week and critic David Brown called this "one of their strongest collections of \[James'\] career", representing "the sound of a band refusing to rest on their laurels, in love with their creative process and looking forward rather than backwards".

In preparation for this work, he travelled around Britain to lecture planning officials on the Act; he wrote Planning and the Law as a guidebook. In 1951, Wood was appointed Private Secretary to the Minister and, after the Ministry was merged into the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, he was appointed Principal Regional Officer for the West Midlands in 1954.

# Ždírec nad Doubravou

**Ždírec nad Doubravou** (until 1950 **Ždírec**) is a town in Havlíčkův Brod District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 3,100 inhabitants.

## Administrative parts

The villages and hamlets of Benátky, Horní Studenec, Kohoutov, Nové Ransko, Nový Studenec, Stružinec and Údavy are administrative parts of Ždírec nad Doubravou.

## Etymology

The name Ždírec is derived from the Old Czech word *žďářit*, which means "to remove the forest with fire" (slash-and-burn). It refers to the method used during colonization to create space for newly established settlements.

## Geography

Ždírec nad Doubravou is located about 19 kilometres (12 mi) northeast of Havlíčkův Brod and 35 km (22 mi) northeast of Jihlava. The town proper lies in the Upper Sázava Hills, but most of the municipal territory lies in the Iron Mountains. The highest point is the hill Barchanec at 624 m (2,047 ft) above sea level.

The town is situated on the right bank of the Doubrava River. The municipal territory lies in the Iron Mountains and Žďárské vrchy protected landscape areas.

## History

The first written mention of Ždírec nad Doubravou is from 1399. It was probably founded shortly before, during the colonization of the area. For centuries, it was a small village administered as a part of the Přibyslav estate, and since 1677 as part of the Polná estate.

The worst tragedy in the history of Ždírec nad Doubravou took place on 9 May 1945, when it was damaged by a Red Army raid and dozens of inhabitants were killed. In the second half of the 20th century, the village began to be expanded, and the number of inhabitants grew. In 2000, Ždírec nad Doubravou was promoted to a town.

# HM Prison Barlinnie

**HM Prison Barlinnie** is the largest prison in Scotland. It is operated by the Scottish Prison Service and is located in the residential suburb of Riddrie, in the north east of Glasgow, Scotland. It is informally known locally as **The Big Hoose**, **Bar** and **Bar-L**. In 2018, plans for its closure were announced.

## History

Barlinnie was designed by Major General Thomas Bernard Collinson, architect and engineer to the Scottish Prison Department, and it was built in the then rural area of Riddrie adjacent to the Monkland Canal (now the route of the M8 motorway), first opening with the commissioning of A hall in July 1882.

Barlinnie prison's five accommodation halls: A, B, C, D and E, were built in stages between 1882 and 1897, with each holding approximately 69 inmates.

There was a major extension to the perimeter in 1967 to create an industrial compound. From 1973 till 1994, the world-famous "Special Unit" placed emphasis on rehabilitation, the best known success story being that of reformed Glasgow gangster Jimmy Boyle. Cultural output associated with the Special Unit included Boyle's autobiography, *A Sense of Freedom* (1977); *The Hardman* (1977), the play Boyle wrote with Tom McGrath; a body of sculpture; and *The Silent Scream* (1979), a book of prose and poems by Larry Winters, who committed suicide in 1977.

### Capital punishment

A total of 10 judicial executions by hanging took place at HMP Barlinnie between 1946 and 1960, replacing the gallows at Duke Street Prison before the final abolition of capital punishment in the United Kingdom for murder in 1969:

| Date | Name | Age (years) | Executioner |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 8 February 1946 | John Lyon | 21 | Thomas Pierrepoint |
| 6 April 1946 | Patrick Carraher | 39 | Thomas Pierrepoint |
| 10 August 1946 | John Caldwell | 20 | Albert Pierrepoint |
| 30 October 1950 | Christopher Harris | 28 | Albert Pierrepoint |
| 16 December 1950 | James Robertson | 33 | Albert Pierrepoint |
| 12 April 1952 | James Smith | 22 | Albert Pierrepoint |
| 29 May 1952 | Patrick Gallagher Deveney | 42 | Albert Pierrepoint |
| 26 January 1953 | George Francis Shaw | 25 | Albert Pierrepoint |
| 11 July 1958 | Peter Manuel | 31 | Harry Allen |
| 22 December 1960 | Anthony Miller | 19 | Harry Allen |

Each of the condemned men had been convicted of murder. All the executions took place at 8.00 am. As was the custom, the remains of all executed prisoners were the property of the state, and were therefore buried in unmarked graves within the walls of the prison. During the D hall renovations of 1997, the prison gallows cell (built into D-hall) was finally demolished and the remains of all the executed prisoners were exhumed for reburial elsewhere.

### Escapes

The first man to escape from Barlinnie was John Dobbie, three days after being sentenced to 15 years for a violent robbery in 1985. Dobbie escaped inside a laundry van, he was captured by armed police five days later and was sentenced to a further five years.

## Current use

Today Barlinnie is the largest prison in Scotland, holding just under 1,400 prisoners although it has a design capacity of 987. The prison currently receives prisoners from the courts in the West of Scotland as well as retaining male remand prisoners and prisoners serving less than 4-year sentences. It also allocates suitable prisoners from its convicted population to lower security prisons, including HMP Low Moss and HMP Greenock, as well as holding long-term prisoners in the initial phase of their sentence prior to transfer to long-term prisons such as HMP Glenochil, HMP Shotts, HMP Kilmarnock or HMP Grampian.

Barlinnie prison still consists of five accommodation halls with each holding approximately 200 inmates and an additional National Top End Facility (Letham Hall) housing long term prisoners nearing the end of their incarceration. All five accommodation halls were refurbished between 1997 and 2004. There is also a hospital unit with accommodation for 18 prisoners, which includes eight cells specially designed for suicide supervision. A new administration and visiting block was completed in 1999.

The in-cell bucket-as-toilet routine known as slopping out was still in practice there as late as 2003. Since 2001, refurbishment has taken place after critical reports by the Scottish Chief Inspector of Prisons.

In October 2018, it was announced that HMP Barlinnie is to be sold and replaced with a new superjail within Glasgow or its outskirts.

In 2019, local MP Paul Sweeney proposed that the historic prison buildings be saved from demolition and converted into a prison museum after it is decommissioned.

In January 2020, the Prison Service announced that the proposed site for the replacement prison was a 22-hectare (54-acre) site formerly occupied by Provan Gas Works.

## Research

Cooperation between the prison authorities, the prisoners and third parties have resulted in the production of research materials suggesting the following conclusions:

(2010) Alcohol is blamed by the majority of youths (av age 18.5 years) for their committing serious harm to others (base study 172 persons) by the use of weapons (mostly knives). 90% of the study group were in Barlinnie for committing serious harm to others (i.e. not crimes of dishonesty). Most were gang members.

title: Elisabeth Röckel

text:
# Elisabeth Röckel

**Elisabeth Röckel** (15 March 1793 – 3 March 1883) was a German soprano opera singer and the wife of the composer Johann Nepomuk Hummel.

## Life

Röckel was born in Neunburg vorm Wald, Bavaria, and was baptised Maria Eva. She was a sister of the opera singer Joseph August Röckel (1783–1870) who played Florestan in the second version of Beethoven’s opera *Fidelio*, which premiered in the Theater an der Wien in 1806. In the same year she came to Vienna, too, where she lived in a flat in the theater, together with her brother. In a register of the residents of the theater she is named "Elis \[!\] Rökel". According to this register in another flat of the theater lived the famous singer Anna Milder-Hauptmann with her family, who played the title role of *Fidelio*. She became a close friend of Elisabeth. Many sources show that Elisabeth often met Beethoven who fell in love with the beautiful young girl and wanted to marry her.

However, in April 1810 Elisabeth Röckel got an engagement at the theater in Bamberg where she made her stage debut as Donna Anna in Mozart's *Don Giovanni* and became a friend of the writer E. T. A. Hoffmann.

The German musicologist Klaus Martin Kopitz has suggested that Beethoven wrote his famous Bagatelle No. 25 for piano, commonly known as "Für Elise", in the days of Elisabeth Röckel's departure from Vienna. It had the inscription "*Für Elise am 27 April zur Erinnerung von L. v. Bthvn*" \[For Elise on 27 April (1810) as memento by L. v. Bthvn\]. Indeed, Anna Milder-Hauptmann named her "Elise" in a letter to her.

During the days before Beethoven's death, she and her husband Hummel visited Beethoven several times, and cut and saved a lock of his hair. This was later discovered in 1934 in Florence by Wilhelm Hummel, a descendant of Johann Nepomuk Hummel. The lock of hair is now held at the Ira F Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies, in the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library on the campus of San Jose State University.

From 1819 until her death at age 89, Röckel lived in Weimar.

**.tp** was the listed Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for East Timor. The letters refer to ***T**imor **P**ortuguês* or Portuguese Timor, the name of the present independent nation when it was an overseas territory of Portugal. The domain .tp was officially launched in December 1997 by connect.ie, an internet service provider based in Dublin, Ireland, in cooperation with the East Timorese authorities in absentia, while East Timor was under Indonesian authority.

.tp remained active for the period of transition, although it now no longer complies with the ISO 3166-1 standard for the two-letter codes for the name of countries as the code for East Timor changed from TP to TL after independence. Regardless, it retained a number of domains until it was finally deleted in February 2015. The last listed change and update for .tp was on April 22, 2008.

## History

In 1997, connect.ie discussed the potential of setting up a "virtual East Timor". They communicated these ideas to the East Timorese leadership and their representatives. This set in motion the acquisition the .tp domain (then the only available official nomenclature for East Timor). After discussions with Jon Postel, IANA, it was realized that a set of necessary registration conditions would require to be met, including the provision of a local contact persons details. It was assumed by all parties in this discussion that there was a strong likelihood for a potential negative reaction to any person or indeed location listed for such purposes. After discussion with various East Timorese representatives, it was agreed that Xanana Gusmão, was at that time imprisoned in Jakarta, would be the appropriate contact person. The remaining issue and solution to providing local addressing and other contact details were provided by connect.ie. A telephone call was made to Dili to identify the address and telephone number of the Military Governor, the last local location of Xanana Gusmão. These details were provided to and accepted by IANA. The .tp domain registry was successfully acquired and activated mainly for the purpose of "declaring independence" at least in the virtual world.

The subsequent attack on the .tp domain registry gained extensive worldwide media coverage and public support. Within 6 days of this occurring, and much to everyone's surprise, Indonesian President Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie announced that a referendum would be held in East Timor to choose between special autonomy and independence. This activity finally concluded when East Timor became the first new sovereign state of the 21st century on May 20, 2002.

## First "Internet" War

During the 1999 East Timorese crisis the cctld server services for the '.tp' domain were attacked by hackers believed to be at the behest and with support from a faction of the Indonesian military. Connect Ireland also received malicious telephone calls and other communications at this time.

## Confusion

In August 1999, before the holding of the referendum, one of the independence leaders José Ramos-Horta, a former President of East Timor, was purported to have stated that arrangements had been made for hackers to attack Indonesian sites.

In response to these press reports, connect.ie issued a statement in response to these purported reports condemning any use of hacking for any activity that would negatively impact on ordinary Indonesian citizens, stating that they (CI) were not at "war" with the Indonesian people and cited the support that they had received from many Indonesian people after the earlier attack on the .tp domain.

## Transition to .tl

**.tl** is the ccTLD that now complies with the ISO 3166-1 standard. The Department of Information Technology in East Timor is working cooperatively with Connect Ireland to ensure a stable and secure transition to the .tl ccTLD. Existing registrants in the .tp ccTLD were initially granted the same domain in the .tl ccTLD at no cost for the first year of registration. Both the .tp and .tl "versions" continue to resolve and registrant information, whois data, and name server delegations were to be the same for both .tl and .tp, for legacy domains.

As of June 2005, no further registrations were accepted in the **.tp** domain.

Registration in **.tl** is available directly at second-level with no local presence requirement, through CoCCA and various resellers worldwide.

In 2008, search engines found approximately twice as many pages in the **.tp** domain as in its successor, **.tl** . By October 2009, this ratio dropped to 1:8, **.tl** being the more dominant. As of 2013, the same metric reached an insignificant 1:10000 in favour of **.tl**.

In 2015, the TLD was deactivated.

## Dated IANA information

For a long time, according to the IANA site, .tl was listed as unassigned, with .tp still being listed for East Timor (Xanana Gusmão, a major political figure and former president, is the administrative contact). The Department of Information Technology in East Timor sent a letter to IANA requesting that this information be updated. As of September 30, 2005, the update had been made and .tl is listed as an active top-level domain.

title: 10 cm schwere Kanone 18

abstract: The 10 cm schwere Kanone 18 was a field gun used by Germany in World War II. The German army wanted a new 10.5 cm gun as well as 15 cm howitzer which were to share the same carriage. Guns are heavier than howitzers due to the longer barrel. This also led to the 15 cm sFH 18. As such both weapons had a similar weight and could be carried by a similar carriage. By 1926 Krupp and Rheinmetall had specimen designs, and prototypes were ready by 1930, but was not fielded until 1933–34. Both Krupp and Rheinmetall competed for the development contract, but the Wehrmacht compromised and selected Krupp's carriage to be mated with Rheinmetall's gun. It sometimes equipped the medium artillery battalion of German divisions, but generally was used by independent artillery battalions and on coast defense duties. Some were used as anti-tank guns during the early stages of war on the Eastern Front, as well as on the prototype self propelled gun "Dicker Max". Around 1,500 guns were produced until 1945. After the war it served with the Albanian and Bulgarian armies.

# 1133 Lugduna

**1133 Lugduna**, provisional designation 1929 RC1, is a stony Florian asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 9.5 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 13 September 1929, by Dutch astronomer Hendrik van Gent at the Leiden Southern Station annex to the Union Observatory in Johannesburg, South Africa. The asteroid was named in honor of the city of Leiden in the Netherlands.

## Orbit and classification

*Lugduna* is a member of the Flora family (402), a giant asteroid family and the largest family of stony asteroids in the main-belt. It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.8–2.6 AU once every 3 years and 3 months (1,180 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.19 and an inclination of 5 with respect to the ecliptic.

The asteroid was first identified as A908 BD at Taunton Observatory (803), Massachusetts, in January 1908. Its observation arc begins at Johannesburg, three weeks after its official discovery observation.

## Physical characteristics

Both the Tholen classification and PanSTARRS photometric survey characterize *Lugduna* as a stony S-type asteroid.

### Rotation period

In December 2010, the best-rated rotational lightcurve of *Lugduna* was obtained from photometric observations by Gordon Gartrelle at the University of North Dakota and at the Badlands Observatory in South Dakota, United States. Analysis of the bimodal lightcurve gave a well-defined rotation period of 5.477 hours with a brightness variation of 0.43 magnitude (U=3). Other observations gave a period of 5 and 5.478 hours with an amplitude of 0.33 (U=2-/3-).

### Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, *Lugduna* measures between 8.275 and 10.47 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.208 and 0.363.

The *Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link* assumes an albedo of 0.24 – derived from 8 Flora, the Flora family's largest member and namesake – and calculates a diameter of 9.76 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 12.22.

## Naming

This minor planet was named in honor of the Dutch city of Leiden where the Leiden Observatory of Leiden University – parent of the discovering Leiden Southern Station – is located. The asteroid was named by the discoverer and by astronomer Gerrit Pels, who computed the body's orbit. The official naming citation was reviewed by Ingrid van Houten-Groeneveld who was a long-time astronomer at Leiden.

The Latin name Lugdunum Batavorum (or Batavorum Lugdunum) and Academia Lugduno Batava has been used by the city and by the university in official documents. The Latin name also refers to Brittenburg, an ancient Roman ruin located west of Leiden.

title: 112 Herculis

abstract: 112 Herculis is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Hercules. It is dimly visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.43. The secondary component is about two magnitudes fainter than the primary star. The distance to this system is approximately 415 light years based on parallax measurements. It is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −20 km/s. The binary character of this system was discovered by W. F. Meyer in 1926. By measuring the variation in velocity of the primary component, he determined an orbital period of 6.3624 days. K. Osawa in 1959 found a stellar classification of A4 III for the pair. W. P. Bidelman observed that the primary has unusually strong lines of ionized phosphorus, and it was assigned to the class of peculiar manganese stars by W. L. W. Sargent and L. Searle in 1962, with a resulting spectral type of B9. No evidence was found for a strong magnetic field by P. S. Conti in 1970. In 1969, A. Cowley and associates found a stellar class of B9p Hg for this system, indicating a peculiar star with an abundance anomaly of mercury. C. E. Seligman in 1970 determined a mass ratio of 2.06±0.17 for the pair, which supported individual stellar classes of B7V and A3V for main sequence components. The sharpness of the spectral lines suggested that at least the primary is rotating synchronously with its orbital period. A more detailed analysis by Seligman and L. H. Allen later in 1970 refined the classifications to B6.5V and A2V. The elemental abundances for both stars appeared similar, although the secondary abundances were more uncertain. In 1975, the primary was classified as a mercury-manganese star by C. R. Cowley and G. C. L. Aikman. T. A. Ryabchikova and associates in 1996 refined the mass ratio to 1.98±0.03. The primary showed significant deficiencies of helium and mercury, but a large overabundance of iron. The secondary component displayed abundances similar to an Am star. This is a double-lined spectroscopic binary system with an orbital period of 6.36246 days and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.11. As of 2021, measurements by the TESS space telescope show a rotation period of 12.4 days for the primary, suggesting that it is not rotating synchronously with its orbit. Some variability in flux was recorded by TESS, but this is due to orbital motion – the stars themselves do not appear to be variable.

title: 112 Iphigenia

abstract: 112 Iphigenia is a fairly large and exceedingly dark main-belt asteroid. It is classified as a C-type asteroid, and therefore probably has a primitive carbonaceous composition. It was discovered by German-American astronomer C. H. F. Peters on September 19, 1870, and named after Iphigenia, a princess sacrificed by her father in Greek mythology. The orbital elements for 112 Iphigenia were published by German astronomer Friedrich Tietjen in 1871. This body is orbiting the Sun with a period of 3.80 years and an eccentricity of 0.13. The orbital plane is inclined by 2.6° to the plane of the ecliptic. 112 Iphigenia has a cross-section diameter of ~72 km. Photometric observations of this asteroid during 2007 at the Observatorio Astronómico de Mallorca were used to create a light curve plot, which was published in 2010. This showed a relatively long synodic rotation period of 31.385±0.006 hours and a brightness variation of 0.30±0.02 magnitude during each cycle. These findings agree with independent results reported in 2008, which gave a period of 31.466±0.001 hours.

## Music video

A music video for "(I Just Want It) To Be Over" was directed by Benny Boom. It starts with Cole sitting on a bed, singing the first verse. She tries numerous times to escape the room she is locked in. She then breaks a mirror with a chair and steps through the mirror frame. The next scene shows broken glass on the floor. Cole is then seen wearing a sun dress. As she walks down a hall she sees a man and two women in the room; when she approaches the next room she spots a man and a woman arguing. Cole walks into a nightclub in a black tank top and mini skirt, and performs the song with a band. The video ends by showing a montage of the preceding events.
