Friedberg–Mücke railway

The Friedberg–Mücke railway is a railway that was opened in 1890/97 in the Wetterau and Vogelsberg regions in the German state of Hesse. Sections of the line are also called the Horlofftalbahn (Horloff Valley Railway) and the Seentalbahn (Seen Valley Railway). It originally connected three major railways that run from Giessen, namely:

  * the Main–Weser Railway (Frankfurt–Gießen–Kassel),
  * the Gießen–Gelnhausen railway,
  * and the Vogelsberg Railway (Gießen–Fulda).

Today only the eleven kilometre-long section to Wölfersheim operates as a feeder line to the regional node of Friedberg, where it connects to the rest of the railway network and, importantly for commuters from the Wetterau, Frankfurt.

The Beienheim–Schotten railway, also called the Horlofftalbahn, which branches off in Beienheim to Nidda, opened on the same day and is still operating.

Sections

The line is divided into four sections and a branch line:

Friedberg–Wölfersheim-Södel            1897    Operating  11.2 km  Line RB47 of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund, operated by the Hessische Landesbahn.
Wölfersheim-Södel–Hungen               1897    2003       12.2 km  Passenger traffic was abandoned on 4 April 2003, while freight traffic had already ended on 31 December 1997. The closure process, which started in the spring of 2004 was interrupted by a contract to preserve the infrastructure. Thus, the line was preserved, but for the time being without a network operator and without an operating license. Reactivation is planned (see #Prospects section).
Hungen–Laubach                         1890    1959       12.7 km  Freight traffic was suspended on 31 December 1997. It was closed in 1999 and the tracks were dismantled around 2007. A cycle path was built on the line in the Hungen area in the spring of 2010.
Laubach–Mücke                          1890    1958/59    13.1 km  Traffic between Freienseen and Mücke stopped on 31 May 1958, while passenger traffic between Hungen and Freienseen and freight traffic between Laubach and Freienseen were discontinued in 1959. The Laubach–Mücke section, also known as the Seental-Eisenbahn (Seen valley railway), was then closed and dismantled.

For the Friedberg–Beienheim–Nidda–Schotten line, which was built at the same time, see the Beienheim–Schotten railway article.

History

The line was originally planned and operated by the Grand Duchy of Hesse State Railways (Großherzoglich Hessische Staatseisenbahnen), which was later merged into the Prussian-Hessian Railway Company (Preußisch-Hessische Eisenbahngemeinschaft). The Hungen–Laubach section was opened on 1 June 1890 and the Friedberg–Hungen section was opened on 1 October 1897. The whole line could be operated from 1 November 1903.

Former line near Laubach


Friedberg–Mücke railway

Former line near Laubach

From 1936, the line was to be upgraded to two tracks as a main line. This did not happen, however, because of the outbreak of war. A second tunnel with a length of 196 metres had already been built in the immediate vicinity of the existing Freienseen Tunnel (146 metres).

In 1968, the line between Inheiden and Berstadt-Wohnbach had to be relocated to allow lignite mining. This also caused Obbornhofen-Bellersheim station to be relocated on 9 June 1968.

Villingen–Ruppertsburg–Friedrichshütte branch line

The branch line to Ruppertsburg was initially built by the Grand Duchy of Hesse State Railways from Villingen (Oberhessen) station as a narrow gauge horse-hauled line to the Friedrichshütte iron foundry and later rebuilt under Prussian direction as standard gauge. This conversion went into operation on 1 April 1896. The line was used for the carriage of freight and employees for the Friedrichshütte foundry, but it never used for public transport. The branch line was closed in 1959.

Route

The halt of Obbornhofen-Bellersheim on the section disused since 2003

The route is now only in operation from Friedberg to Wölfersheim-Södel. The trains continued to Hungen until 2003 and to Mücke via the Vogelsberg until 1958/59. It was possible to transfer to the line to Nidda in Beienheim.

Originally, the tracks of Laubach station were on the eastern side of the road. When the line was extended to Mücke the track infrastructure was relocated to the other side of the station and only a loading track was preserved on the eastern side of the road. The station had a two-story entrance building with a goods shed as an annex. The station building is currently (as of 2011) used by a youth centre.

Operations

The line is in the area of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (Rhine-Main transport association, RMV). Until the 2004/2005 timetable change, public transport services on the two branches of the line were operated by the Butzbach-Lich Railway Company; since the 2005/2006 timetable change services have been operated by Hessische Landesbahn, its parent company. In the peak hour, trains on the line run to and from Friedberg. In the 2012 timetable, seven train pairs a day ran between Beienheim and Wölfersheim-Södel and nine train pairs between Friedberg and Wölfersheim-Södel from Monday to Friday.

There are hardly any freight operations left.

Prospects

Buffer stop in Wölfersheim-Södel

There are plans to reactivate the decommissioned Wölfersheim-Hungen section. The tracks are complete and apart from minor weathering still in relatively good condition. Despite the blockage of the line at the termini, the signal technology was still in operation; for example, the Wölfersheim semaphore signals were still actively lit until Wölfersheim was rebuilt into a halt in 2008. Nevertheless, at many of the already neglected level crossings, the safety technology and tracks would have to be fundamentally renewed or relocated.

Rafting and canoeing at Dutch Water Dreams

An artificial whitewater course (AWWC) is a site for whitewater canoeing, whitewater kayaking, whitewater racing, whitewater rafting, playboating and slalom canoeing with artificially generated rapids.

Course types

Main types of course:

Flow diversion

These work by diverting a natural river through boulder placement or damming, or by creating new channels next to an existing river, possibly by a weir or power station outflow.

Tidal action

Created in estuaries with large tidal reaches, on a barrage across the river. The barrage is opened during a rising high tide to allow the sea water in, then shut as the tide turns. The water stored above the barrage is then forced through an artificial channel to provide water features.

Pumped

The nature of artificial whitewater courses necessitates the need for a drop in the river, and enough water flow to provide hydraulics. When this isn't possible (often in flat low-lying areas), electric pumps are used to lift and re-circulate the water to the top of the course. The shapes of these courses are commonly circular or U-shaped.

Pumped courses are extremely expensive to run, typically 1-2 megawatts of electrical power are needed to pump 15 cubic metres per second of water down a course with a 5-meter drop in height.

Altered Riverbed

These courses are created in existing natural river channels, but are enhanced with strategic placement of new rocks, boulders, or concrete structures. Some are downstream of river or channel wide dams and therefore have some level of flow optimization, others are subject to seasonal flows.

Harry B. Mulliken

Harry B. Mulliken (June 10, 1872 – June 20, 1952) was an early twentieth-century American architect and developer who built many of his works in New York City. Mulliken's apartment and hotel buildings are remarkable for their Beaux-Arts-style and broad use of architectural terra cotta set around flat, and often red, brick.

Biography

Born in Sterling, Illinois in 1872, Mulliken graduated from Columbia University's School of Arts with a Bachelor of Philosophy, course in Architecture, in 1895. He graduated with his future partner, Edgar J. Moeller, although their formal partnership did not begin for another seven years.

In a passport application submitted in 1894 as a student from New York City, Mulliken listed his permanent residence as Detroit, Michigan and his attributes as 6’1” in height, blue eyes, brown hair, a high forehead, a straight nose, a small mouth, heavy chin, and fair complexion.

In another passport application submitted in 1896, Mulliken listed his new permanent residence as Chicago, Illinois and he had recently married Ellen C. Emerson (née December 23, 1872) of Stillwater, Minnesota in January 1896. He also records his new occupation as architect.

Mulliken professionally began his working career in the employment of the Chicago architect Daniel H. Burnham (1895–1896) and later the New York architect Ernest Flagg (1897).

Mulliken opened an office with Edwin E. Pruitt in July 1899 at 289 Fourth Avenue.

Mulliken appears as a Lead Architect in 1900, designing properties under his name alone. Then, Mulliken and Edgar J. Moeller created the partnership for which each is better known, Mulliken & Moeller, in 1902.

After their return to New York, Mulliken, his wife, and four children eventually moved to Pelham, New York where he and his wife would remain throughout his known life. He died in his home in Pelham at the age of 80, three years after his retirement.

Harry B. Cunningham

This article is about the American businessman. For other uses, see Harry Cunningham.

Harry B. Cunningham (1907 in Pennsylvania – November 11, 1992 in North Palm Beach, Florida) was an American businessman and retailer who founded Kmart in 1962, along with S. S. Kresge. Cunningham had a vision to convert the retail chain into a discounter. At the time, Cunningham was sharply criticized by some, including Kresge shareholders, as possibly destroying the company. The success of Kmart proved his vision.

He was president of the company from 1959 to 1972, having joined the retailer as an assistant store manager in 1930. Cunningham was credited by Sam Walton as being the first to design a discount store. Walton added that Cunningham should be remembered as one of the leading retailers of all time.Ann & Hope in Cumberland, Rhode Island.

Barkhausen–Kurz tube

An experimental push-pull Barkhausen oscillator in 1933, which uses Lecher lines (quarter-wave parallel wire transmission line stubs) as the tank circuit. It could generate 5 watts at 400 MHz.

Experimental low power 3 GHz AM communication link from 1938 uses Barkhausen-Kurz tubes for both transmitting and receiving

The Barkhausen–Kurz tube, also called the retarding-field tube, reflex triode, B–K oscillator, and Barkhausen oscillator was a high frequency vacuum tube electronic oscillator invented in 1920 by German physicists Heinrich Georg Barkhausen and Karl Kurz.ultra-high frequency (UHF) portion of the radio spectrum, above 300 MHz. It was also the first oscillator to exploit electron transit time effects.radio transmitters through World War 2. Its output power was low which limited its applications. However it inspired research that led to other more successful transit time tubes such as the klystron, which made the low power Barkhausen-Kurz tube obsolete.

History

The triode vacuum tube developed by Lee de Forest in 1906 was the first device that could amplify, and was used in most radio transmitters and receivers from 1920 on. It was found that the highest frequency at which the triode could be used was limited by the spacing between internal components. Even with the smallest of spacing, the frequency limit of early triodes was in the low megahertz range. A technique called velocity modulation was theorized to overcome this limitation.

In 1920, Heinrich Barkhausen and Karl Kurz at the Technische Hochschule in Dresden, Germany used the velocity modulation theory in developing a "retarded-field" triode. They found it could operate at frequencies into the UHF region, the first vacuum tube to do so. Although severely limited in output power, the Barkhausen–Kurz tube was quickly adopted world-wide for UHF research. This device is also called the retarded-field and positive-grid oscillator. Versions of the Barkhausen oscillator were used in some of the first applications of microwaves, such as the first experimental microwave relay system, a 1.7 GHz link across the English Channel in 1931,radar systems used in World War 2.


Barkhausen–Kurz tube

The success of the Barkhausen-Kurz tube in generating radio waves at microwave frequencies inspired research to develop similar tubes which did not have its power limitations, resulting in the invention of other tubes which were known as "reflex oscillators". The best known result of this research was the klystron tubemagnetron tube replaced the B-K tube around World War 2 and it became obsolete.

How it works

The first experimental microwave relay system, a 1.7 GHz link 40 miles across the English channel in 1931, used a Barkhausen-Kurz tube mounted at the focus of the 10 foot dish shown. It had a radiated power of about 1/2 watt.

The Barkhausen–Kurz tube was a triode operated with the grid (a thin mesh of wires) at a positive potential relative to both the cathode (or filament) and the anode (or plate). The negative electrons emitted from the cathode are accelerated toward the positive grid. Most pass between the grid wires and continue toward the anode plate, but the negative potential on the anode repels them and they reverse direction before they hit the surface of the anode plate and are accelerated back toward the relatively higher potential grid through which they have just passed. Again, most pass through the grid wires, but they are then repelled by the negative potential of the cathode and reverse direction just before reaching the surface of the cathode. The electrons continue oscillating back and forth through the grid until one by one they strike the grid wires.

The oscillating grid potential induced by the passage of the electrons through the grid excites oscillations in a tank circuit attached to the grid, usually consisting of a quarter wavelength of parallel transmission line shorted at the end, called a resonant stub. In turn the oscillating voltage on the tank circuit varies the potential of the grid, causing the electrons to bunch into a cloud of electrons moving back and forth through the grid in phase at the resonant frequency.


Barkhausen–Kurz tube

The oscillatory motion of the electron cloud continues; this cloud constitutes the alternating output current. Some electrons are lost to the grid on each pass, but the electron supply is continually replenished by new electrons emitted by the cathode. Compared to a conventional triode oscillator, the number of electrons actually hitting the anode plate and grid is small, so the plate and grid alternating currents are small, and the output power of the B-K oscillator is low. Higher power devices like the klystron were later developed to overcome this limitation.

The frequency of oscillation depends on the spacing and potentials of the electrodes, and can be tuned within a limited bandwidth by altering the electrode voltages.

Anglo-French War (1557–1559)

The Anglo-French War of 1557–1559 was part of the Italian War of 1551–1559. Following the French defeat at the Battle of St. Quentin (1557) England entered the war. The French laid Siege to Calais in response.Rysbank and Calais was besieged.

Events

On 1 January 1558, the French vanguard invested Sangatte and Fréthun Nielles, and the Army Corps reduced Fort Risban the next day. On 3 January, the artillery moved into Fort Nieulay at Rysbank. Thomas, Lord Wentworth, completely overwhelmed by a lightning attack, handed the keys of the city to the French on 7 January.

The English defences of Guînes and Hames soon also fell. Henry II of France arrived at Calais on 23 January 1558. France had reconquered the last territory it had lost in the Hundred Years' War and put an end to two centuries of fighting between England and France. The new French administration made a particularly efficient demarcation of the border, created a new division of farmland, reorganized the 24 parishes, and reconstructed villages and churches. No harm came to the English residents: after a rather uncomfortable night they were escorted to the waiting boats and given safe passage across the English Channel.

In England there was shock and disbelief at the loss of this final Continental territory. The story goes that a few months later Queen Mary, on her death bed, told her ladies: "When I am dead and cut open, they will find Philip and Calais inscribed on my heart."

Result

The Peace of Cateau-Cambrésis (1559) confirmed that the French would retain their conquest of the Pale of Calais.


1994–95 Sheffield Wednesday F.C. season

The 1994–95 season was Sheffield Wednesday F.C.'s 128th season. They competed in the twenty-two team Premiership, the top tier of English football, finishing thirteenth.

Season summary

Sheffield Wednesday were among the pre-season favourites for a UEFA Cup places, having finished seventh in the first two Premiership seasons, third in the last First Division season in 1992 and winning the League Cup in 1991, with many fine players still on the club's payroll. But they were still without striker David Hirst for much of the season due to injury, and this played at least some part in the Owls enduring their worst league form since relegation in 1990.

Right up till early May, the Owls were in real danger of relegation and this was enough for the club's board, who wielded the axe on manager Trevor Francis after four years in charge.Luton Town and Tottenham Hotspur manager David Pleat, who looked to the continent in hope of returning the Owls to their winning ways and brought in Belgian forward Marc Degryse.

Alexander Asher

31, 32 Heriot Row, Edinburgh

Alexander Asher (27 January 1834 – 5 August 1905) was a Scottish politician and lawyer, who was elected as Member of Parliament for the Elgin Burghs constituency from 1881 until his death in 1905. He was also Solicitor General for Scotland on three occasions, and was Dean of the Faculty of Advocates.

Early life

Asher was born at Inveravon, Banffshire, on 27 January 1834. He was the third son of William Asher the parish minister of Inveravon and his wife, Katherine Forbes Gordon. He was educated at Elgin AcademyKing's College, Aberdeen and Edinburgh University.

Legal career

Asher was admitted to the Scottish Bar, the Faculty of Advocates in 1861. He was appointed an Advocate Depute in 1870. At this time he was living at 31 Heriot Row, a huge Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh's Second New town.

In December 1881 he took silk, becoming a Queen's Counsel (QC).Charles Pearson when he was appointed as Lord Advocate.

Political career

At the general election of 1880 Asher was unsuccessful as Liberal candidate for the universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen.M. E. Grant Duff from the Elgin Burghs constituency, Asher was chosen to represent the Liberal Party at the 1881 Elgin Burghs by-election. He was elected unopposed on 13 July.William Gladstone as Solicitor General for Scotland, serving until 1885. He was elected unopposed at the General Election 1885, at a by-election on 12 February 1886 after re-acceptance of office as Solicitor General for Scotland and again at the General Election 1886.1892 United Kingdom general election, and was re-elected, this time opposed, by a majority of 541.

Shortly prior to the 1895 general election, Asher was rumoured to be the Government nominee for the position of Speaker of the House of Commons.

There were rumours that the Conservative Party might put forward a candidate to oppose Asher in the 1900 general election.Liberal Unionist Party, but was defeated by Asher, 1187 votes to 1744.

Gerald Mobey

Gerald Spencer Mobey (5 March 1904 – 2 March 1979) was an English professional first-class cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and wicketkeeper.

Mobey played for Surrey from 1930 to 1938 but he was essentially their reserve wicketkeeper as understudy to Ted Brooks. Mobey would have toured India with the England national cricket team in 1939–40 if Marylebone Cricket Club's scheduled tour had gone ahead. The team had been selected but the outbreak of the Second World War on 1 September 1939 caused the tour's immediate cancellation.

Mobey was born at Surbiton and died at Woking, both in Surrey. He made 81 first-class appearances according to CricketArchive, scoring 1,684 runs @ 18.10 with a highest innings of 75, one of six half-centuries. He held 127 catches and completed 11 stumpings.

Army & Navy sweets

Army & Navy sweets

Army & Navy sweets are a type of traditional boiled sweet, or hard candy, available in the United Kingdom. They are black in colour, lozenge-shaped and flavoured with liquorice and herbs. They are often eaten in winter as their slightly medicinal flavour is similar to that of Cough candy. Their name is likely derived from their popularity with service personnel during the First World War. Originally they are reported to have contained Opium.

Benaloh cryptosystem

The Benaloh Cryptosystem is an extension of the Goldwasser-Micali cryptosystem (GM) created in 1985 by Josh (Cohen) Benaloh. The main improvement of the Benaloh Cryptosystem over GM is that longer blocks of data can be encrypted at once, whereas in GM each bit is encrypted individually.

Scheme Definition

Like many public key cryptosystems, this scheme works in the group [({\mathbb {Z}}/n{\mathbb {Z}})^{*}] where n is a product of two large primes. This scheme is homomorphic and hence malleable.

Key Generation

Given block size r, a public/private key pair is generated as follows:

 1. Choose large primes p and q such that [r\vert (p-1),\operatorname {gcd}(r,(p-1)/r)=1,] and [\operatorname {gcd}(r,(q-1))=1]
 2. Set [n=pq,\phi =(p-1)(q-1)]
 3. Choose [y\in {\mathbb {Z}}_{n}^{*}] such that [y^{{\phi /r}}\not \equiv 1\mod n].
Note: If r is composite, it was pointed out by Fousse et al. in 2011[D(E(m))=m] in all cases (as should be the case). To address this, the authors propose the following check: let [r=p_{1}p_{2}\dots p_{k}] be the prime factorization of r. Choose [y\in {\mathbb {Z}}_{n}^{*}] such that for each factor [p_{i}], it is the case that [y^{{\phi /p_{i}}}\neq 1\mod n].
 1. Set [x=y^{{\phi /r}}\mod n]


Benaloh cryptosystem

The public key is then [y,n], and the private key is [\phi ,x].

Message Encryption

To encrypt message [m\in {\mathbb {Z}}_{r}]:

 1. Choose a random [u\in {\mathbb {Z}}_{n}^{*}]
 2. Set [E_{r}(m)=y^{m}u^{r}\mod n]

Message Decryption

To decrypt a ciphertext [c\in {\mathbb {Z}}_{n}^{*}]:

 1. Compute [a=c^{{\phi /r}}\mod n]
 2. Output [m=\log _{x}(a)], i.e., find m such that [x^{m}\equiv a\mod n]

To understand decryption, first notice that for any [m\in {\mathbb {Z}}_{r}] and [u\in {\mathbb {Z}}_{n}^{*}] we have:

[a=(c)^{{\phi /r}}\equiv (y^{m}u^{r})^{{\phi /r}}\equiv (y^{{m}})^{{\phi /r}}(u^{r})^{{\phi /r}}\equiv (y^{{\phi /r}})^{m}(u)^{{\phi }}\equiv (x)^{m}(u)^{0}\equiv x^{m}\mod n]


Benaloh cryptosystem

To recover m from a, we take the discrete log of a base x. If r is small, we can recover m by an exhaustive search, i.e. checking if [x^{i}\equiv a\mod n] for all [0\dots (r-1)]. For larger values of r, the Baby-step giant-step algorithm can be used to recover m in [O({\sqrt {r}})] time and space.

Security

The security of this scheme rests on the Higher residuosity problem, specifically, given z,r and n where the factorization of n is unknown, it is computationally infeasible to determine whether z is an rth residue mod n, i.e. if there exists an x such that [z\equiv x^{r}\mod n].

Conasauga Creek

Conasauga Creek is a 42.8-mile-long (68.9 km)stream of the Hiwassee River,Tennessee, United States. It is not to be confused with the nearby Conasauga River.

Course

Conasauga Creek flows from its source in the Unicoi Range (part of the Appalachian Mountains) in Monroe County. It flows by the town of Coker Creek and, following a generally northeast route, passes between Mocking Crow Mountain and Pine Mountain to emerge into the valley of Rural Vale. From there it curves around the northern end of Starr Mountain, turning east and then southeast. Starr Mountain marks the boundary between the higher mountains of the southern Blue Ridge Mountains and the lower ridges of the Ridge-and-valley Appalachians.

After emerging from the higher mountains, Conasauga Creek passes by the town of Etowah in Mcminn County, before discharging into the Hiwassee River in Polk County.

History

The valley of Conasauga Creek was the route of the Warrior Path that connected the Cherokee towns of Great Hiwassee on the Hiwassee River to Great Tellico on the Tellico River.

Dan Woodards

Not to be confused with Danny Woodards.

Daniel James Woodards (18 November 1886 – 14 December 1964) was an English footballer who played as a wing half for West Ham United until his retirement from football in 1921.

Playing career

Woodards was born in East Ham, England East London. He joined West Ham in 1905 but did not make an appearance for them until 1907 in a game in the Southern League against Brighton. He spent the 1908–09 season at Hastings & St Leonards United where he made at least 16 appearances, scoring 7 goals in all competitionsSecond Division after World War I. He finished playing in 1921 having made 197 appearances in all competitions for West Ham, scoring three goals

Later career

Woodards returned to West Ham to work as a groundsman at Upton Park. He was the only person in the ground when, in August 1944, a Luftwaffe V1 landed on the pitch, exploding and causing damage to the playing area. West Ham were forced to play away from Upton Park, winning nine consecutive matches. After hard work by Woodards the pitch was restored and West Ham returned there to play their home games, losing 1–0 to Tottenham Hotspur on their return.

Woodards died in 1964.
