# Mohammad Hashim Khan

Sardar **Mohammad Hashim Khan** (1884 – 26 October 1953) was a political figure in Afghanistan.

## Early life

Mohammad Hashim Khan was born in 1884 in Dehradun, British India. He was the younger brother of King Mohammad Nadir Shah and the elder brother of Sardar Shah Mahmud Khan and Sardar Shah Wali Khan. Hashim put into effect the policies already orchestrated by his brothers. Internal objectives of the new Afghan government focused on strengthening the army and shoring up the economy, including transport and communications. Both goals required foreign assistance. Preferring not to rely on the Soviet Union or Britain, Hashim turned to Nazi Germany. By 1935 German experts and businessmen had set up factories and hydroelectric projects at the invitation of the Afghan government. Smaller amounts of aid were also offered by Imperial Japan and Fascist Italy. He governed Afghanistan as Royal Prime Minister from November 8th 1933 until May 9, 1946.

During the war years he faced significant opposition as a result of his stance on the ongoing political question of whether to yield to the British or resist them. The decision to expel Axis colonies from Afghanistan was particularly unpopular and by October 1941 the Italian Minister in Kabul was reporting to the Foreign Affairs Office in Rome that Hashim would 'have his work cut out to save not only appearances but his life itself'.

# Quercus margarettae

***Quercus margarettae*** (spelling variants include ***Quercus margaretta***, ***Quercus margarettiae***, and ***Quercus margaretiae***), the **sand post oak** or **dwarf post oak**, is a North American species of oak in the beech family. It is native to the southeastern and south-central United States from Virginia to Florida and west as far as Texas and Oklahoma. There are historical reports of the species growing in New York State, but it has not been seen there in years.

*Quercus margarettae* is a deciduous shrub or small tree growing up to 12 meters (40 feet) tall. The bark is gray and scaly. The leaves are up to 135 millimetres (5+14 inches) long, and bipinnately lobed with rounded lobes. The plant grows in sandy or gravelly soil.

## Taxonomy

The species was first described as a variety of *Quercus minor* (a synonym of *Quercus stellata*) by William Willard Ashe in 1894. Ashe spelt the name "*Quercus minor* var. *Margaretta*". The capital letter implies it was named after a person. The first name of Ashe's wife was Margaret. Article 60.8(b) of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants provides that adjectival specific epithets formed from personal names should have the genitive ending of the appropriate gender, with -*i*\- added before the ending when the personal name ends in a consonant. Sources have used Ashe's original spelling "*margaretta*", or have changed the spelling to "*margarettae*", "*margarettiae*" or "*margaretiae*".

Ashe's variety was raised to a full species by John Kunkel Small in 1903. It is placed in section *Quercus*.

# Qualitative Research (journal)

***Qualitative Research*** is a bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal covering qualitative research methods in the fields of sociology and other social sciences. It was established in 2001 and is published by SAGE Publications. The founding editors were Sara Delamont and P. Atkinson. The current editors-in-chief are Bella Dicks, Karen Henwood, and William Housley (Cardiff University).

## Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in Scopus, and the Social Sciences Citation Index. According to the *Journal Citation Reports*, its 2018 impact factor was 3.141.

## 2022 retraction of a research note

On April 26, 2022, the journal published a "research note" by Karl Andersson, a PhD student and publisher of pederastic magazine *Destroyer*, with the title "I am not alone – we are *all* alone: Using masturbation as an ethnographic method in research on *shota* subculture in Japan". The note received negative attention from academics and journalists in August 2022, prompting the journal to launch an investigation and remove the note. On August 22, 2022, the journal retracted the note, explaining that while it "has systems in place to flag ethical concerns raised by article submissions prior to review, those same systems do not fully extend to note submissions", that the "two peer reviewers who considered the note did not raise ethical concerns", and that Andersson explained that "the work described in this note was carried out as a piece of independent research in Germany, without institutional ethical oversight". The controversy prompted Greater Manchester Police to investigate the case, and SAGE to review its submission processes. In a paper published in *Publishing Research Quarterly* on September 14, 2022, sociologist Casey Brienza argued that the retraction has "troubling implications for freedom of speech". After an internal investigation, the University of Manchester ended its association with the controversial researcher in 2023.

# 4th Space Launch Squadron

The United States Air Force's **4th Space Launch Squadron** was a space launch unit located at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. It was active at Vandenberg from 1994 to 1998 and again from 2003 to 2019. It launched various satellites into orbit from the complex of launch pads at Vandenberg.

## Mission

The **4th Space Launch Squadron** was the Air Force's Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) launch agency for the West Coast. The EELV system is a liquid-fueled first stage Common Booster Core (CBC) that can be used alone, with strap-on solid fuel rocket boosters, or as a configuration of three CBCs acting as a more powerful booster.

## History

The squadron was activated at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California on 15 April 1994. Until it was inactivated in June 1998, it launched surveillance and meteorological satellites into polar orbit.

After reactivation in 2003, the squadron managed operations for EELVs. The EELV program was intended to develop provide alternatives to older and expensive heavy-lift launch vehicles, such as the Titan IV. EELVs include:

The Boeing Delta IV. There are different configurations for the Delta IV, which can lift payloads from 9,000 lb to over 13,000 lb into Geosynchronous Orbit. The Lockheed Martin Atlas V. This system also has different available configurations, and can lift payloads between 10,000 lb and 30,000 lb to Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit. The Delta II, a heritage vehicle smaller than the newer Delta IV. The Delta II can have up to nine external rockets strapped to its main stage, increasing lift capability. It can send approximately 4,000 lb into Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit.

title: William Brydone Jack

abstract: William Brydone Jack,, was the University of New Brunswick's first surveying professor and its second president (1861–1885). He was educated at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. In 1840, he was appointed Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at what was then King's College and gave lectures in surveying as part of the mathematics curriculum. William Brydone Jack also designed a small wooden observatory which became operational in 1851. In 1855, William Brydone Jack, together with Dr. J.B. Toldervy, determined the longitude of Fredericton using the exchange of telegraph signals with Harvard College Observatory. This was the first precisely determined longitude in Canada. In 1859, the same year that the University of New Brunswick was created, a special three-term undergraduate course in civil engineering and surveying was initiated. The first diploma in this special course was awarded to Henry George Clopper Ketchum in June 1862. William Brydone Jack was appointed to the Board of Examiners in 1874 for the examination of candidates for admission to practice land surveying in New Brunswick. J.E. Kennedy, professor of physics at UNB from 1945 to 1956, wrote extensively on William Brydone Jack's accomplishments in astronomy and land surveying including his efforts to build the observatory and the determination of longitude by electric telegraph. Minor planet 79117 Brydonejack is named in his honor.

The **Quincy and Torch Lake Cog Railway** is a 12-mile-long (0.80 km), 4 ft 8+12 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge cog railway in Hancock, Michigan. It opened in May 1997 to transport tourists to the adit entrance of the Quincy Mine's Number 5 shaft. Its tram car has a capacity of 28 people and travels at a maximum grade of 35%. It is one of only three rack railways in the United States.

## History

### Mining era

Prior to the creation of the current tourist tramway, there existed a tramway used by the Quincy Mine to transport ore down the hill to the Quincy Smelter. It consisted of two tracks with tramcars in counterbalance. It was 2,200 feet (670 m) long with a 500-foot (150 m) vertical drop. In 1890 the tramway was replaced by the Quincy & Torch Lake Railroad.

### Modern era

Before the current tram was added, tourists were transported to the adit entrance by van, an indirect and cumbersome method. The solution of a tram was suggested by the vice president of the Quincy Mine Hoist Association, James R. Vivian Sr. The U.S. Economic Development Administration provided $420,000 in funds with a matching $200,000 raised by the Hoist Association. Construction began on April 12, 1996, and was completed on November 11, 1996. The tramway opened for use in May 1997.

The tramcar, designed by Phil Quenzi, was built by Royale Construction Inc. of Kearsarge, Michigan and the grading and tracking laying was carried out by MJO Construction of Hancock, Michigan. The project engineer was Robert D. Hitch, P.E. and the project manager was James R. Vivian Jr.

# Glenswilly GAA

**Glenswilly GAA** (Irish: *CLG Gleann tSúilí*) is a GAA club based in Glenswilly, County Donegal, Ireland. Most noted for winning the Donegal Senior Football Championship in 2011, 2013 and 2016, the team has fielded players like All-Ireland winning captain Michael Murphy.

## History

The present club was founded in 1982. A teenage Manus McFadden arranged a meeting at Foxhall of Glenswillyites who were interested in forming a team, with John Mc Ginley, Roger McDaid, Fr Eamon Crossan, Finbar Glackin, Jimmy Joe McGinley and chair Eddie McDevitt.

Glenswilly reached their first ever Senior county final in 2007, where they lost to near neighbours St Eunan's 0–12 to 1–3.

In 2011, they won the Donegal Senior Football Championship for the first time, with a 1–8 to 0–9 defeat of Naomh Mícheál in the final.

On 25 September 2012, the Donegal senior team—fresh from winning the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final—were scheduled to visit Glenswilly; however, the visit was postponed due to time constraints which arose due to the huge crowds around the county eager to catch a glimpse of the team. The team eventually visited Glenswilly on 27 September.

In 2013, the club rebuffed allegations that they forced children into GAA jerseys. Later that year they hosted the 2013 All-Ireland Football Series launch, held following confirmation of the four provincial winners. That year they won their second Donegal Senior Football Championship and progressed to the final of the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship, which they lost to Ballinderry.

The club won its third and final Donegal SFC in 2016.

By 2020, Neil Gallagher, Ciaran Bonner, Darren Mc Ginley and Joe Gibbons (all three-time SFC winners) had retired.

The club commemorated forty years in existence with a year-long event in 2022.
