Ceanothus purpureus, with the common name hollyleaf ceanothus, is a species of shrub in the family Rhamnaceae. It is endemic to northern California, where it is known only from the Inner North Coast Ranges north of the Bay Area, mainly in Sonoma and Napa Counties. The largest remaining population of this shrub occurs on Mt. George near Napa, where it is protected in a botanical preserve.

Description

The Ceanothus purpureus plant grows in woodland and chaparral habitat. It is spreading or erect in form, approaching 2 meters in maximum height. The woody parts are gray to reddish brown in color. The evergreen leaves are oppositely arranged and up to about 2.5 centimeters long. They are round to oval, wavy, and edged with spiny teeth, resembling the leaf of holly. The inflorescence is a small cluster of blue or purple flowers. The fruit is a horned capsule about half a centimeter long.

Random glucose test

A random glucose test, also known as a random blood glucose test (RBG test) or a casual blood glucose test (CBG test) is a glucose test (test of blood sugar level) on the blood of a non-fasting person. This test assumes a recent meal and therefore has higher reference values than the fasting blood glucose (FBG) test.

Most mentions of capillary blood glucose (CBG) tests refer to random, nonfasting instances thereof, but the real distinction in that term is capillary blood glucose versus venous blood glucose, arterial blood glucose, or interstitial fluid glucose; any fingerstick or optical transdermal glucose test, fasting or nonfasting, measures capillary blood glucose level.

Reference values

The reference values for a "normal" random glucose test in an average adult are 80–140mg/dl (4.4–7.8 mmol/l), between 140 and 200mg/dl (7.8–11.1 mmol/l) is considered pre-diabetesmg/dl is considered diabetes according to ADA guidelinesmg/dl does not necessarily mean you are diabetic).

Sakura Azumao

Sakura Azumao (佐久良東雄, May 13, 1811- August 13, 1860) was a kokugaku scholar and poet during Bakumatsu period Japan. He is also described as a nationalist philosopher.sonnō jōi movement to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate and to expel foreigners from Japan. He went by many pseudonyms during his career, including the pen-name of Koen, and given names of Yukie, Hiroshi, Shizuma and Takeo in addition to Azumao. His poetry was highly praised in the pre-war period for its patriotic overtones.

Biography

Early years as a Buddhist priest

Sakura Azumao was born as the eldest son of a country samurai name Iijima Heizo in what is now Ishioka, Ibaraki, and his childhood name was Kichibe.Man'yōshū poetry anthology. He was tonsured as a priest at the age of 15, taking the name of Koshun. From an early age he exhibited an interest in politics, persuading local peasants to stop an uprising against taxation and making a plea to the local governor on their behalf when he was 17. He was sent for further training at the temple of Hase-dera in Nara, and returned as head priest of Kannon-ji in 1832. In 1835, he was transferred to become head priest of the temple of Zenno-ji in what is now Tsuchiura. Since his 20s, Sakura had befriended local Confucian scholars of Kasama Domain and Tsuchiura Domain, forming a literary coterie to study Japanese classical literature, and taking the name of "Azumao". This coterie was also strongly influenced by the nativist Mitogaku political philosophy. Recognized for his literary erudition and scholarship, he received an offer of employment from Mito Domain, but declined.

Return to secular life

In 1842, Sakura resigned his post as head priest of Zenno-ji and relocated to Higashi Nihonbashi in Edo. He became a disciple of Hirata Atsutane, the famed kokugaku scholar. In June 1843 he renounced his Buddhist vows, visiting Kashima Jingu and donating a thousand cherry trees as a pledge of his dedication towards the restoration of the Emperor to his rightful place in the political hierarchy. Around this time, he changed his surname from Iijima to Sakura. He married a daughter of a doctor of Mito Domain, and eventually had two sons and two daughters. He was friend of Watanabe Kazan while in Edo. However, he spent much time traveling around the country to promote the sonnō portion of the sonnō jōi philosophy, visiting Kyoto in 1845 and settling in what is now Sakai to lecture on poetry. His works were noted for their nationalistic overtones. There are poems that focused on elevating filial piety to nationalism by tracing the relationship of family codes and teachings with service to the Imperial Household and the country.

Azumao later served as kannushi of the Shinto shrine of Zama Jinja in Osaka, and opened a Shintoism school to study Emperor-centered historiography. Sometime in 1849, he became involved in the publication Hirata Atsutane's works, which were targets of shogunal ban for their criticism of the Buddhist scripture.

In 1854, he moved back to Kyoto, befriending members of the kuge aristocracy and receiving a minor title as a master of Shinto rituals. He subsequently moved back to Osaka, where he provided support to many of the Mito ronin who were fugitives from the Shogunate's police for their role in the Sakuradamon Incident, in which the tairō Ii Naosuke was assassinated. However, he was arrested together with two of the ronin in March 1860 and was transferred to a prison in Edo, where he died of disease in August of the same year. Later, a rumor arose that he had actually died of a hunger strike, but the truth is unknown.


Sakura Azumao

After his death, he was initially buried at the criminal's cemetery at the temple of Ekō-in in Ryōgoku; however, after the Meiji restoration, he was reburied at Yuhigaoka, Tennoji in Osaka by the Mito Tokugawa clan in 1869. This site later became an industrial exhibition site, so his grave was relocated to the Higashinari District public cemetery in 1899, and finally to Zenno-ji in Ibaraki where he had once served as head priest.

Sakura Azumao Former Residence

The Sakura Azumao Former Residence (佐久良東雄旧宅, Sakura Azumao kyū-taku) is the house in Ishioka, Chiba where he spent his childhood. The building has a Nagayamon-style gate in front, and a thatch-roof main building with a dirt floor and a kura warehouse surrounded by hedges and a bamboo grove. It is not clear when the building was completed, but from the style of construction and floor plan, it is estimated that the building was completed between 1751 and 1788, well before Sakura Azumao was born. The house is a 15-minute walk from Ishioka Station on the JR East Jōban Line.

Crystal skipper

The crystal skipper (Atrytonopsis quinteri) is a species of butterfly in the family Hesperiidae that is found only along a 30-mile (50 km) stretch of barrier islands in North Carolina. The skipper was first discovered in 1978 and the paper describing it as a full species was published in 2015.

Distribution

The crystal skipper is endemic to Bogue Banks and Bear Island in North Carolina, USA. Bogue Banks is approximately 25 miles long and Bear Island is about 3.5 miles long. The skipper is also found on several human-made dredge spoil islands within the vicinity of these two natural barrier islands.

Bear Island, part of Hammocks Beach State Park, is completely undeveloped and has the largest skipper population. The second largest population is at Fort Macon State Park, on the eastern end of Bogue Banks. The remaining populations are smaller and scattered between these two state parks.

Taxonomy and common name

Burns described Atrytonopsis quinteri as a full species, and details differences in anatomy with related species A. hianna, A. vierecki, A. lunus, A. pittacus, A. python, A. margarita, and A. cestus.Atrytonopsis, 2) a subspecies of A. hianna (the dusted skipper), 3) a subspecies of A. loammi (which some consider to be a subspecies of A. hianna), or 4) the same species as A. loammi. Field guides and checklists often group Atrytonopsis new species 1 with A. loammi. How A. quinteri differs from the very similar A. loammi of coastal Florida is unclear, as Burns does not discuss differences with that species.

A formal common name has not been given for this species, but the most frequently used one is the crystal skipper. It is called the crystal skipper because it is native to the section of the North Carolina called the Crystal Coast and because it has white spots on its wings that look like crystals.

Life cycle


Crystal skipper

Life cycle

The crystal skipper has two broods per year. The first brood emerges from the chrysalis stage from mid-April to mid-May. Adults from this brood mate and the females then lay eggs. The eggs hatch into caterpillars, which feed, grow and then undergo pupation to form a chrysalis. After metamorphosis, the second brood adults emerge between mid-July and mid-August. The caterpillars from this brood will grow until fall and then overwinter. The following spring they complete metamorphosis and the cycle repeats. Therefore, the adults in the spring of the second year are the grandchildren of the brood from the previous spring.

The crystal skipper lays its eggs on seaside little bluestem, Schizachyrium littorale, and the caterpillars feed on this grass.

Habitat

The crystal skipper is found along primary and secondary sand dunes where its hostplant, seaside little bluestem (Schizachyrium littorale), is present. Although the largest and most dense populations of the skipper are usually on undisturbed sand dunes, the skipper can also persist in small patches of sand dune habitat, such as undeveloped lots in urban areas. Additionally, the crystal skipper is found on several human-made dredge spoil islands that have been colonized by seaside little bluestem.

Conservation status

The crystal skipper is globally rare but locally abundant. Much of the sand dunes on Bogue Banks have been destroyed by development, leaving little habitat for the crystal skipper outside the two state parks.

The crystal skipper is a federal species of concern. A “species of concern” is an informal designation by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and is not a term that is defined under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. The crystal skipper is not federally listed as threatened or endangered. Insects cannot be listed under the North Carolina Endangered Species Act.

Conservation and restoration

Crystal skippers rely on flowers for nectar and seaside little bluestem for hostplants. Retaining native vegetation in your yard, especially dune grasses such as seaside little bluestem, can help create habitat for the crystal skipper and other native animals. Alternately, you could try actively planting seaside little bluestem.


Crystal skipper

Native flowers that are commonly used for sources of nectar during the spring crystal skipper brood include: Yellow thistle (Cirsium horridulum), risky tread-softly or spurge nettle (Cnidoscolus stimulosus), southern dewberry (Rubus trivialis), and coastal prickly pear (Opuntia pusilla). The summer brood of crystal skippers frequent morning glory (Ipomoea spp), especially in the morning. Non-native plants (also called exotic plants) that are a common source of nectar include Lantana species.

Ceanothus roderickii is a rare species of shrub in the family Rhamnaceae known by the common name Pine Hill ceanothus. It is endemic to western El Dorado County, California, where it grows in the chaparral and woodlands of the Sierra Nevada foothills, such as the Pine Hill Ecological Reserve. It is named after 20th century California flora explorer, botanist, and arboretum director Wayne Roderick.

Description

This rare shrub is up to about 3 meters wide and flat, forming low brambles or mats. The grayish brown stems root at nodes as they grow horizontally along the ground. The tiny evergreen leaves are oppositely arranged. Each is only about a centimeter long, widely lance-shaped and smooth along the edges or sometimes toothed near the tip. The top surface is green and hairless and the underside is somewhat woolly. The inflorescence is a small cluster of white to pale blue flowers. The fruit is a capsule about half a centimeter long, sometimes bearing small horns on top.

Brolæggerstræde

Brolæggerstræde (literally "Cobble-Layer Alley) is a street in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark, linking Nytorv in the west with Badstuestræde in the east. Most of the buildings in the street date from the years after the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. The Carlsberg Foundation is headquartered at No. 5.

History

Brolæggerstræde as seen on Gedde's district map of Copenhagen

The street was originally called Benickestræde. In 1543, it is referred to as Per Broliggers Stræde. The name refers to Per Jensen "Brolægger" who from 1486-1510 owned the lot where No. 14 stands today. He was the first master cobble layer in Copenhagen. His son, Jens Brolægger, was mayor of Copenhagen from 1520.

Knabrostræde connected the south side of the street to the coast at Gammel Strand. Endeløsstræde ("Endless Alley"), a short cul-de-sac, extended northwards a little further to the east. When the street was rebuilt following the Copenhagen Fire of 1728, Knabrostræde was extended northwards to Vimmelskaftet and Endeløsstræde was later connected to its east side. In 1795, the street was destroyed by the second great fire that hit Copenhagen. Endeløsstræde disappeared when the houses were rebuilt.

Notable buildings and residents

All the buildings in the street date from the years immediately after the fire of 1795 and all of them are listed on the Danish registry of Protected buildings and Places.

The gate at Brolæggerstræde 11

Carlsberg-founder J.C. Jacobsen's first brewery, known as Bryggergården, is located at No. 5. The complex also comprises Knabrostræde 11 and 13 as well as several interconnected rear wings. It was built 1796-99 for another brewer, Nicolai Rindom. J. C. Jacobsen's father, Christian Jacobsen, purchased the brewery in 1826. A plaque above the gate commemorates J. C. Jacobsen and his son Carl Jacobsen. The inscription reads: "Brygger, dr.phil. Carl Chr. H. Jacobsen fødtes her den 2den marts 1842. Brygger, kaptajn J. C. Jacobsen foretog her året 1838 de første forsøg med fremstilling af undergæret øl". The building was refurbished by the architect Viggo Steen Møller in the early 1950s and now houses the Ny Carlsberg Foundation.

Brolæggerstræde 2

The brick building at No. 11 on the opposite side of the street was built for another brewer, Andreas Tronier. A brass plaque to the left of the gate commemorates the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions which had its first home in the building from 1898 until 1950. Gyldenfeldts Gård (Brolæggerstræde 9/Knabrostræde 16) was built for Adjutant General Gyldenfeldt in 1795-98.

The other buildings in the street are No.1 (1797, C. F. Hollander), No. 2 (1808), No. 3 (1797, Lauritz Thrane), No. 4 (1808, A. C. Wilcken), No. 6 (1798), No. 8 (1797, C. C. Martens ), No. 12 (1796), Brolæggerstræde 13/Rådhusstræde 1 (1798, Andreas Hallander), No. 14 (1798) and Brolæggerstræde 16/Nytorv 11 (1798, C. F. Hollander).

Random column packing

Random column packing is the practice of packing a distillation column with randomly fitting filtration material in order to optimize surface area over which reactants can interact while minimizing the complexity of construction of such columns. Random column packing is an alternative to structured column packing.

Packed columns

Packed columns utilizing filter media for chemical exchange are the most common devices used in the chemical industry for reactant contact optimization. Packed columns are used in a range of industries to allow intimate contact between two immiscible/partly immiscible fluids, which can be liquid/gas or liquid/liquid. The fluids are passed through a column in a countercurrent flow. In the column it is important to maintain an effective mass transfer, so its essential that a packing is selected which will support a large surface area for mass transfer.

History

Random packing was used as early as 1820. Originally the packing material consisted of glass spheres, however in 1850 they were replaced by a more porous pumice stone and pieces of coke.

Applications

This shows a photo of Raschig rings

Pall rings (beige and large white) and Białecki rings (others)

Dixon rings

Random packed columns are used in a variety of applications, including:

  * Distillation
  * Stripping
  * Carbon dioxide scrubbing
  * Liquid–liquid extraction

Types

Raschig ring

The Raschig ring is a piece of tube, invented circa 1914,surface area within the column, allowing for interaction between liquid and gas vapors.

Lessing ring

Lessing rings are a type of random packing similar to the Raschig ring invented in the early 20th century by German-born British chemist Rudolf Lessing (1878-1964) of Mond Nickel Company.surface area and enhance mass transfer efficiency. Lessing rings have a high density and an excellent heat and acid resistance. Lessing rings withstand corrosion and are used in regenerative oxide systems and transfer systems.

Pall ring


Random column packing

Pall ring

Pall rings are the most common form of random packing. They are similar to Lessing rings and were developed from the Raschig ring. Pall rings have similar cylindrical dimensions but has rows of windows which increase performance by increasing the surface area. They are suited for low pressure drop and high capacity applications. They have a degree of randomness and a relatively high liquid hold up, promoting a high absorption, especially when the rate of reaction is slow. The cross structure of the Pall ring makes it mechanically robust and suitable for use in deep packed beds.

Białecki ring

The Bialecki ring was patented in 1974 by Polish chemical engineer from Kraków Zbigniew Białecki rings are an improved version of Raschig rings. The rings may be injection moulded of plastics or press-formed from metal sheet without welding. Specific surface area of filling ranges between 60 and 440 m2/m3.

Dixon ring

Dixon rings have a similar design to Lessing rings. They are made of stainless steel mesh, giving Dixon rings a low pressure drop and after pre-wetting. Dixon rings have a very large surface area, which increases the rate of mass transfer. Dixon rings have a large liquid hold up, a low pressure drop and a large surface area, and have a high mass transfer rate. Dixon rings are used for laboratory distillation and scrubbing applications.


Sakura Castle

Sakura Castle grounds

Sakura Castle (佐倉城, Sakura-jō) was a 17th-century castle, now in ruins, in Sakura, Chiba Prefecture. It was designated one of Japan's Top 100 Castles by the Japanese Castle Foundation.

History

Sakura Castle fell to Honda Tadakatsu and Sakai Ietsugu of the Tokugawa army during the Siege of Odawara (1590). Chiba Shigetane, daimyō of the Chiba clan, surrendered the castle to the besieging forces on the condition that his clan would not be abolished.

Under the orders of his Lord, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Doi Toshikatsu started construction of this castle in 1610. It was completed in 1617. It was based on the foundations and unfinished work of the Chiba clan, who had started building Kashima Castle on the same site, in the earlier Sengoku period.

During the Edo era, it was ruled by powerful lords, all loyal to the Tokugawa rule. Sakura Castle was considered a location of strategic importance, in particular as it protected the eastern flank of Edo.moats, and earthen embankments (ramparts) demarcated the baileys. The main keep was actually a yagura relocated from Edo Castle.

The park was used for army barracks during World War II.

Current site

There is little left of the original castle, except for the moats, earthen walls, and some stone stairs. The National Museum of Japanese History stands on the site of the castle.

Watermill at Gennep

The Watermill at Gennep (Dutch: Genneper Watermolen) is a watermill along the river Dommel, located on the Genneperweg 143 in Gestel, Eindhoven, in the province of North Brabant, Netherlands. First mentioned in the 13th century, the watermill burned down and was rebuilt in 1587.

Vincent van Gogh lived nearby and made several paintings while in the area, including four paintings of the mill in 1884. The watermill was listed as a national monument in 1972.

Cearachelys

Cearachelys is an extinct genus of pleurodiran turtle which existed some 110 million years ago.monotypic, with only type species Cearachelys placidoi known.

Etymology

The genus was named for Ceará, the Brazilian state where the species was discovered. The specific name was named after Placido Nuvens, a director of the Museu Paleontologico de Santana do Cariri.

Description

In 2001, the remains of two mostly complete turtle skeletons from the Early Cretaceous rocks of the Santana Group were used to describe Cearachelys placidoi. Both specimens were from the Romualdo Formation of the group in what is now northwestern Brazil. The type specimen, tentatively labeled MPSC-uncatalogued (for the Museu Paleontologico de Santana do Cariri where the specimen resides), consisted of an incomplete skull, the turtle's shell, a few neck vertebrae and some limb bone fragments. The second specimen, TUTg 1798 is a more complete fossil consisting of most of the turtle's axial and appendicular skeleton. While this specimen hails from the same locality, it was actually procured by the museum eight years prior, in 1993.C. placidoi. The specimen, MN-6760-V, consisted of a rather complete fossilized carapace and plastron measuring some 20 cm long.

The species was identified as a pleurodire based on a number of distinguishing anatomical characteristics – mainly the arrangement of skeletal elements in its skull and the attachment of its pelvic girdle to its carapace. Further analysis of its skull elements led to its classification in the family Bothremydidae. However, skull elements also differentiate the species from the other members of its family.Late Cretaceous turtle Galianemys from Morocco. Both genera possess a rather retracted jugal bone, a characteristic not seen in other bothremydids.phylogeny of extinct pleurodires, Gaffney united the two closely related genera in the tribe Cearachelyini.

Random coordinate descent

Randomized (Block) Coordinate Descent Method is an optimization algorithm popularized by Nesterov (2010) and Richtárik and Takáč (2011). The first analysis of this method, when applied to the problem of minimizing a smooth convex function, was performed by Nesterov (2010).

[{\displaystyle F(x)=f(x)+\Psi (x),}]

where [{\displaystyle \Psi (x)=\sum _{i=1}^{n}\Psi _{i}(x^{(i)}),}] [{\displaystyle x\in R^{N}}] is decomposed into [n] blocks of variables/coordinates: [{\displaystyle x=(x^{(1)},\dots ,x^{(n)})}] and [{\displaystyle \Psi _{1},\dots ,\Psi _{n}}] are (simple) convex functions.

Example (block decomposition): If [{\displaystyle x=(x_{1},x_{2},\dots ,x_{5})\in R^{5}}] and [{\displaystyle n=3}], one may choose [{\displaystyle x^{(1)}=(x_{1},x_{3}),x^{(2)}=(x_{2},x_{5})}] and [{\displaystyle x^{(3)}=x_{4}}].

Example (block-separable regularizers):


Random coordinate descent

Example (block-separable regularizers):

 1. [{\displaystyle n=N;\Psi (x)=\|x\|_{1}=\sum _{i=1}^{n}|x_{i}|}]
 2. [{\displaystyle N=N_{1}+N_{2}+\dots +N_{n};\Psi (x)=\sum _{i=1}^{n}\|x^{(i)}\|_{2}}], where [{\displaystyle x^{(i)}\in R^{N_{i}}}] and [\|\cdot \|_{2}] is the standard Euclidean norm.

Algorithm

Consider the optimization problem

[{\displaystyle \min _{x\in R^{n}}f(x),}]

where [f] is a convex and smooth function.

Smoothness: By smoothness we mean the following: we assume the gradient of [f] is coordinate-wise Lipschitz continuous with constants [{\displaystyle L_{1},L_{2},\dots ,L_{n}}]. That is, we assume that

[{\displaystyle |\nabla _{i}f(x+he_{i})-\nabla _{i}f(x)|\leq L_{i}|h|,}]

for all [x\in R^{n}] and [{\displaystyle h\in R}], where [{\displaystyle \nabla _{i}}] denotes the partial derivative with respect to variable [{\displaystyle x^{(i)}}].

Nesterov, and Richtarik and Takac showed that the following algorithm converges to the optimal point:

Algorithm Random Coordinate Descent Method
    Input: [{\displaystyle x_{0}\in R^{n}}] //starting point
    Output: [x]

    set x := x_0


Random coordinate descent

set x := x_0

    for k := 1, ... do
        choose coordinate [{\displaystyle i\in \{1,2,\dots ,n\}}], uniformly at random
        update [{\displaystyle x^{(i)}=x^{(i)}-{\frac {1}{L_{i}}}\nabla _{i}f(x)}]
    end for
  * "←" denotes assignment. For instance, "largest ← item" means that the value of largest changes to the value of item.
  * "return" terminates the algorithm and outputs the following value.

Convergence rate

Since the iterates of this algorithm are random vectors, a complexity result would give a bound on the number of iterations needed for the method to output an approximate solution with high probability. It was shown in [{\displaystyle k\geq {\frac {2nR_{L}(x_{0})}{\epsilon }}\log \left({\frac {f(x_{0})-f^{*}}{\epsilon \rho }}\right)}], where [{\displaystyle R_{L}(x)=\max _{y}\max _{x^{*}\in X^{*}}\{\|y-x^{*}\|_{L}:f(y)\leq f(x)\}}], [f^{*}] is an optimal solution ([{\displaystyle f^{*}=\min _{x\in R^{n}}\{f(x)\}}]), [{\displaystyle \rho \in (0,1)}] is a confidence level and [\epsilon >0] is target accuracy, then [{\displaystyle Prob(f(x_{k})-f^{*}>\epsilon )\leq \rho }].

Example on particular function

The following Figure shows how [x_{k}] develops during iterations, in principle. The problem is


Random coordinate descent

[{\displaystyle f(x)={\tfrac {1}{2}}x^{T}\left({\begin{array}{cc}1&0.5\\0.5&1\end{array}}\right)x-\left({\begin{array}{cc}1.5&1.5\end{array}}\right)x,\quad x_{0}=\left({\begin{array}{cc}0&0\end{array}}\right)^{T}}]

Extension to block coordinate setting

Blocking coordinate directions into Block coordinate directions

One can naturally extend this algorithm not only just to coordinates, but to blocks of coordinates. Assume that we have space [R^5]. This space has 5 coordinate directions, concretely [{\displaystyle e_{1}=(1,0,0,0,0)^{T},e_{2}=(0,1,0,0,0)^{T},e_{3}=(0,0,1,0,0)^{T},e_{4}=(0,0,0,1,0)^{T},e_{5}=(0,0,0,0,1)^{T}}] in which Random Coordinate Descent Method can move. However, one can group some coordinate directions into blocks and we can have instead of those 5 coordinate directions 3 block coordinate directions (see image).

The watermill at Sint-Gertrudis-Pede (Pedemolen) in the municipality of Dilbeek is the only working watermill in the Pajottenland, and is protected as a monument since 1975

History

The original mill, built in 1392 was one of the five mills in the Land of Gaasbeek. After being destroyed by a fire in 1763, the mill was restored. Also living quarters were added. Until 1963, they kept milling with water power, after that they used an electric engine. The mill was completely shut down in 1970. In 1990 restoration was begun, so nowadays it still can be used as a mill.

Current use

Today the monument only is used as a tourist attraction, with volunteers milling two Sundays every month. Apart from the mill, there are several ponds and an orchard located on the domain.

The first depictions of the mill date back to the 16th century, after Pieter Bruegel the Elder used the mill as a model for his paintings The Return of the Herd and The Magpie on the Gallows.

Paul Scharfe

Paul Scharfe (6 September 1876 – 29 July 1942) was an SS-Obergruppenführer and General of the Waffen-SS in Nazi Germany and first chief of the SS Court Main Office.

Early life

Scharfe, son of a headmaster, was born in Danzig in Prussia (today, Gdansk, Poland) and, after completing his education, enrolled as an officer cadet in August 1895, attended the military school in Anklam and was commissioned a Leutnant in the Imperial German Army in January 1897. He was a comrade of Paul Hausser. After marrying in 1903, Scharfe left active service and joined the Landwehr reserves. He became a police commissioner, first in Adenau from 1905 to 1912 and then in Schrimm (today, Śrem, in Poland).

In World War I, Scharfe fought on the eastern front from September 1914 to October 1915 as a company and battalion commander, earning the Iron Cross, 2nd class.Landwehr Major. He resumed his police career after the war, serving in the Prussian police from 1921 to 1931, beginning with the security police (Schutzpolizei) in Halle and retiring as an Oberstleutnant of police in Berlin.

SS career

On 1 October 1931, Scharfe joined the Nazi Party (membership number 665,697) and the SS (member number 14,220).Munich. In June 1933, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler made him responsible for all the SS courts. On 1 July 1939, he was appointed the first chief (Hauptamtschef) of the newly formed SS Court Main Office, the legal department of the SS.penal camps. This legal status meant all SS personnel were accountable only to the SS courts. This effectively placed the SS above German law and outside the jurisdiction of civilian courts.Gruppenführers in January 1939 in Berlin, Scharfe explained the rationale for this SS jurisdiction policy thusly:

Compared to the ordinary member of the Party, the SS man naturally occupies a special place, primarily because it is his duty to protect the Movement and its Führer, if necessary at the sacrifice of his life. This special position … of course means that the SS man must be dealt with in a special way.


Paul Scharfe

On 20 November 1939, Scharfe was officially recognized as Himmler's deputy in all SS disciplinary matters. He was granted the Waffen-SS rank of Generalleutnant on 9 November 1940, and was promoted to SS-Obergruppenführer and General of the Waffen-SS on 20 April 1942.Franz Breithaupt.

Geographical distribution of 2009-10 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione teams. Girone A teams are depicted with red dots, Girone B with green, and Girone C with yellow ones.

The 2009–10 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione season was the thirty-second football league season of Italian Lega Pro Seconda Divisione since its establishment in 1978, and the second since the renaming from Serie C to Lega Pro.

It was divided into two phases: the regular season, played from September 2009 to May 2010, and the playoff phase from May to June 2010.

The league was composed of 54 teams divided into three divisions of 18 teams each, whose teams were divided geographically. Teams played only other teams in their own division, once at home and once away for a total of 34 matches each.

Teams that finished first in the regular season, plus one team winning the playoff round from each division were promoted to Lega Pro Prima Divisione; teams that finished last in the regular season, plus two relegation playoff losers from each division were relegated to Serie D. In all, six teams were promoted to Prima Divisione, and nine teams were relegated to Serie D.

Events

Start of season

On July 9, the Covisoc (Commissione di Vigilanza sulle Società Calcistiche, Vigilancy Commission on Football Clubs) organization announced that 11 Seconda Divisione clubs did not pass the financial requirements in order to be admitted to the league. The clubs were allowed to appeal the decision until July 11.

The league was to feature six teams relegated from 2008–09 Lega Pro Prima Divisione: Pro Sesto, Sambenedettese, Legnano, Pistoiese, Juve Stabia, and Potenza. Three vacancies were created from this group. Two teams were excluded from the 2009–10 season as they did not pass the financial requirements: Sambenedettese did not appeal the commission's decision, while Pistoiese lost on appeal. On July 30, Potenza was called up to Prima Divisione to fill a vacancy.


2009–10 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione

It was to feature nine teams promoted from 2008–09 Serie D as division winners: Biellese (that did not file any registration papers, and thus, was excluded from the league and replaced by Spezia) - Girone A, P.B. Vercelli - Girone B, Sacilese - Girone C, Crociati Noceto - Girone D, Sporting Lucchese - Girone E, Pro Vasto - Girone F, Villacidrese - Girone G, Brindisi - Girone H, and Siracusa - Girone I.

The remaining 39 teams were to come from the group of teams that played in 2008–09 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione that were neither relegated nor promoted. Another four vacancies were created from this group. Ivrea (9th in Girone A) failed to register for the upcoming season. Alessandria - 2nd in Girone A, Andria - 5th in Girone C, and Viareggio - 2nd in Girone B - all promotional playoff losers in the Second Divisione 2008–09 season were called up to Prima Divisione anyway to fill vacancies.

The eight vacancies were successively filled as follows:

  * Spezia - 2nd in 2008–09 Serie D - Girone A, replacing first place Biellese
  * Nocerina - 2nd in 2008–09 Serie D - Girone H, winner of the playoffs
